All language subtitles for Dr Quinn s06ex1 The Heart Within.eng

Are we there yet?

Remember the map of the United States we
showed you?

We're only halfway across.

Boston's all the way on the other side
of the map from Colorado, Katie.

It's a long ways away. That's why it's
going to take a long time.

You understand, sweetheart?

But are we there yet?

Come on, Katie. Let's go for another
walk.

Can you read Grandma's letter again?

Sure.

Which part?

The gallows.

Let's see.

In addition to Colleen's graduation,
there will be several gallows in

preparation for the upcoming centennial,
as well as the celebration of George

Washington's birthday.

Now the part about the doll.

I've had a wonderful doll made
especially for Katie. No details.

I want to leave something for a
surprise.

Grandma's the best grandma ever.

Yeah, she's real generous.

I bet she has a nice present for you,
too.

She sure does.

She does?

Why? You have to promise not to tell,
right?

Promise.

She's going to try to get me a job on
the Boston Globe.

On a map?

Not that kind of a globe.

It's the name of a newspaper.

I want to be a reporter.

Grandma will make you a reporter.

It's not all up to her, Katie.

Don't worry. Grandma could do anything.

How Katie feels.

Forte compartment does make things a bit
awkward.

Especially during the honeymoon.

Honeymoon?

People go on a second honeymoon, don't
they?

Right.

Right.

I've been thinking.

I know we're going back to see Colleen
graduate, but nothing says that we can't

make this a special trip for us.

And every day I get you away from the
clinic.

Or I can get you away from the Park
Bureau business.

Look, there's Rebecca.

Rebecca.

Where's Mother?

Rebecca?

Mother's not well.

What are they, serious?

Oh, Michaela.

She made me promise not to tell you, but
now Mother's in the hospital. Hospital?

Heart seizures.

For how long has she been having these
heart seizures?

Months. Six months at least.

She made me swear not to let you know.
She didn't want you worrying when there

was nothing you could do.

Well, I could have come here sooner.

I told her I was sure you'd want to, but
she didn't want to disrupt your work.

I don't know if you realize how devoted
Mother is to what you do.

It may seem odd, given her original
opposition to your becoming a doctor,

she's so proud of you, Michaela.

This is all very gratifying, but I care
more about my mother than my practice.

Well, you're here now, and I'm so glad
of it.

In fact, what does Elizabeth's doctor
say?

Oh, Dr.

Cook says mother will be fine as long as
she stays in bed.

Grandma will never stay put in bed.
Exactly.

If she doesn't, she doesn't stay.

I need to talk to Dr. Cook.

Is this Andrew's father we're talking
about?

He insisted on taking care of mother
personally, even though he's chief of

staff. That's good of him.

We should go straight to the hospital.

Oh, but you've been traveling for so
long.

We're all eager to see grandma, right?

Right.

Oh, my darling.

Hello, sweetheart.

Hello, mother. I expected you to be home
before you arrived.

In fact, Dr.

Cook was just about to release me.

Well, tell her.

Well, Father was just performing a final
exam before having Mother discharged.

Grandma, is this phone being home? Oh,
that's right. This looks much worse than

it is. It has been six months,
apparently.

Mother, Michaela's not only a doctor,
she's also not blind.

The power of her skin would indicate
that her circulation has been impaired

some time. Yes, her condition,
unfortunately, has been persistent.

Speak up.

Now, what do you two say?

Dr. Cook, I don't believe you've met my
husband, Byron Philly.

Doctor, nice to meet you. And my son,
Brian.

May I?

I'm going home today.

Shh. Mother, I can't hear when you're
talking. Well, there's nothing to hear.

You tell her. Mother.

Well,

I agree with your advice that she remain
bedridden. Oh, none.

What's the name of the pill you were
going to give me?

Strychnine.

I believe Mrs. Quinn is going to be
going home in spite of my

Thus, strychnine is indicated in case of
a seizure.

Mother, strychnine can be fatal. Only in
large doses.

Precisely. You know Mother, and she's
likely to overdo it and then try to

compensate by taking more pills.

She could easily take an overdose.

Will you stop talking about me as if I
weren't in the room?

Dr. Cook would never give me anything
dangerous.

That's correct.

So... If you will all excuse me, I will
get dressed, and then I will accompany

you home.

Home it is.

Martha! Oh, how wonderful to see you.

Oh, glad to have you home, ma 'am. And
all of you, too, Mrs. Sully.

Now, Martha, will you take Michaela and
Sully up to the guest suite?

And, Rebecca, would you show Brian your
old room? With pleasure. I am going to

show you your mother's old room, which I
have had decorated.

Oh, well, that is true. In your honor.

Mother, I'll take her, Mother.

Why don't you go rest in the parlor, and
Sully, I'll take you up to your room.

Thank you.

But the only help I need right now is
for all of you to stop treating me like

porcelain doll.

Which reminds me, she's waiting for you.

Katie!

You see, it's impossible to stop her.

Maybe that's not such a bad thing.

I've heard it said, the heart is only as
old as the spirit.

Cloud dancing?

Well,

the medicine woman in me hopes he's
right.

But the doctor in me would like her to
slow down.

I'm a daughter.

I suppose the daughter in me is a
worrywart.

Well,

I think you're both absolutely
wonderful.

Thank you. Now have some champagne.

Shall we?

Mother should sit down. She looks fine
to me. She's been on her feet for hours,

greeting people, introducing everyone.

Laughing, talking, looking like she's
having a good time.

It's the country that's 100 years old,
Michaela, not her.

You, you look younger and more beautiful
than the first day I laid eyes on you.

Falling in the mud?

Right before that.

I feel like I should be studying.

I would bet my entire fortune that
you'll graduate first in your class.

What fortune?

All right, my future fortune.

Andrew, what if I do?

What? What if I outrank the men?

Well, that's easy.

It'll be the bicentennial before they
allow another woman into Harvard Medical

School. Don't joke.

I'm not.

The whole idea is to advance women
doctors.

It may have to be one thing at a time,
but I don't know anyone more worthy or

more lovely.

My youngest daughter, Michaela, and her
husband, Mr. Sully.

The fellow who scouts the wild lands for
the Bureau of Land Management.

Yes, at the request of President Grant
himself.

And Michaela has single -handedly
brought modern medicine to the West.

Mother exaggerates when it comes to her
children.

An admirable trait in a mother.

Michaela Sully, I would like you to meet
Senator and Mrs. Holloway. Pleasure.

And of course, you remember Andrew's
father and mother, Dr. Cook.

Mr. Sully, I understand you're at the
forefront of our new national park

Well, I try to be, but it's next to
impossible to keep ahead of people's

appetites for gold, lumber, furs.

Ah, from my vantage point in Congress,
it seems entirely impossible.

A day hasn't passed when I'm not lobbied
by some entrepreneur wanting to make a

fortune off of our country's natural
resources.

Well, surely you're not opposed to free
enterprise?

No. No, of course not. Well, the
question is free for whom?

Precisely. So you don't believe in
letting industry have whatever it wants?

Well... Let's just say that I'd
certainly like to hear more of your

view, Mr. Sully.

Join me.

Sure.

Dear.

Dear.

Far cry from the first time Sully came
to the post.

He came through the front door, dressed
in buckskins and carrying a tomahawk.

Colleen, you looked so serious out there
when you were woke. Colleen's concerned

about her medical exam.

Well, you'll do fine.

That's exactly what she's concerned
about.

She doesn't want to win the battle, to
lose the war, so they say.

That can be a problem.

To be allowed to study with men, a woman
has to excel. But if she does too well,

they only resent her.

I had to use considerable influence to
persuade the faculty to allow Colleen to

audit the course.

It was the first time they've permitted
such a thing, and it's divided the place

badly. The student body has passed the
standard, officially disallowing women

from now on.

It has been an awkward and an
embarrassing situation.

Well, if it's any consolation, you have
our family's admiration and gratitude.

Michaela is right, Dr. Cook.

You've been very courageous, but I'm
sure these things will all settle out

Colleen has received her degree and
joined your practice.

A degree is not enough.

She will have to obtain a license to
practice.

That won't be a problem, will it? I have
no idea.

As we have acknowledged...

There's been a good deal of bad blood on
the subject.

Father, surely it won't... Nothing is
sure.

If you'll excuse us.

Now even your father is angry with me.

No. No, if anyone, he's angry at me.

Yes. For marrying me.

No, Colleen, I did not say that.

Don't you two quarrel.

Mother's right.

The important thing is you stay focused
on your goal of working together.

But how can I ever feel good knowing
that I ruined it for any other woman who

wanted to study medicine at Harvard?

Don't worry, Mother.

You're right. Everything will settle
down.

Senator Holloway has invited us to
dinner at the Ritz. Oh, how lovely.

A little too lovely.

He's really on our side.

How can he feel the need to invite us to
a fancy dinner?

Polly, just because an admirer wouldn't
treat you to an elegant dinner doesn't

necessarily mean he has an Ontario
motive.

We'll see.

Grandma, are you all right?

Perfectly. But you look pale, and you
had to take one of those pills.

Brian, I'm as well as I can be.

And that's all I have.

I don't want to be in a hospital.

Do you understand?

Promise me that you won't mention this
to anyone.

Do you think anybody would notice if we
didn't leave this room today?

Very possibly.

I told Colleen I'd take her to her
exams.

What about Andrew?

Dr. Cook said he couldn't spare him from
the clinic today.

What did you think of him?

Andrew's father?

Seemed strict but fair, I guess.

He was one of the self -appointed
committee that protested when my father

me into his practice.

And I'd have to say he's come quite a
ways since I'm looking at what she's

helping Colleen.

I suppose so.

It's just I find it difficult to believe
he'd have such a dramatic change of

heart. Well, this we're just going to
have to wait and see.

I guess I'm hoping for guarantees where
there aren't any.

You've been known to do that on
occasion.

The important thing to remember is that
you remember.

What I mean is that every bit of
information that you need for this exam

already firmly in your head.

As long as you don't allow yourself to
become intimidated.

You have always been brave and strong.

And never more so than right this
moment.

Didn't we work this paragraph here? I do
not.

Here.

Here.

Your grandmother is a formidable woman.

Yes, sir.

Not the type to ask for consideration
lightly.

No, sir. Which means that her claims of
your accomplishments must be true.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Interesting. Your prose could use a
little work.

I'm always reading. Working to improve,
sir.

Sometimes it takes instruction.

Well, that's why I went to college in
Denver. I mean, I realize that Denver

isn't Harvard.

And Harvard isn't the Boston Globe.

Now, don't worry, son. I didn't mean you
had to have an Ivy League education.

I was merely suggesting that you work as
an apprentice first.

I understand.

Sir, a publication you might suggest?

Why, the Boston Globe, of course.

You'll be working for Phineas Croft.
He's the editor of News West of the

Mississippi. It's a good place to start.
You have excellent perspectives.

Phineas has an excellent vocabulary.

I'll tell Mr. Croft to expect you at 8 o
'clock tomorrow morning.

Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.

It's just an opportunity, son.

You have to earn the job.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Will you two stop fussing over me? No.

We won't.

If you think that I'm going to sit here
like some mannequin while all of Boston

is filled with excitement over these
coming centennial celebrations, you are

both mistaken.

I promise you that I will stay put.

If you two will just go out and have a
good time.

Katie!

Would you and your dog care to have some
tea?

I named her Marjorie.

Ma, when will Aunt Marjorie come back
from heaven?

Um, people don't come back from heaven.

Eventually we'll all join them there.

Some of it sooner or later.

That's why it's so important to live
fully while we're here.

In Boston?

Yeah, honey.

In Boston.

Katie, you were right.

Grandma can do anything.

Well, I certainly admire your ability to
move between two such different worlds.

I owe that to Michaela.

Yes, quite a well -bred lady.

I knew your father.

Fine man.

Thank you, Senator.

I won't say we all didn't think him a
bit eccentric for taking you into his

practice, but your mother tells me
you're a good doctor.

I do my best to stay current.

I believe a doctor is only as good as
their education.

And in the field of medicine, that never
ends.

Same with politics.

Same with life.

The question is, how do we make life and
politics compatible? How do we satisfy

the demand of our countrymen for goods
without infringing on the Indian lands?

Easy. You don't satisfy every demand.

How do we do that, Mr. Kelly?

Reduce demand. We're a nation of
immigrants.

How do we who came before now turn
around and tell others they can't? No,

not what I'm saying, Senator.

What I'm saying is that there's
different ways of living.

We could take a lesson from the Indians.
They never take more from the land than

what they need, and they never waste any
part of what they do take.

Would you be willing to meet with some
of my colleagues tomorrow and present

your ideas?

Colleagues? Just an informal gathering.

Other than it?

Well, actually, I was thinking more of
businessmen.

Perhaps your husband can sway them from
their positions.

I think that's unlikely when so much
profit is at stake.

I don't mind trying.

Thank you, Mr. Sully.

I'll arrange it.

At least they don't make us wait until
morning.

Who could sleep?

No one, and they know it.

Father said that's why they started the
tradition of grading the exams all

evening.

And he's doing the grading?

Well, he and a dozen other alumni.

What if he gets my exam?

I don't want anyone to think that I
receive special treatment.

Oh, Colleen, listen.

Anyone who knows my father would assume
he would be even more stringent with his

own daughter -in -law's exam.

What time is it?

It's five minutes later than the last
time you asked me.

I think you were right.

Be suspicious of the senator's ulterior
motives.

I think you were right that he just
wanted to treat us to a lovely dinner.

I never dared imagine that I could have
it all.

You, the children, my work, Boston, too.

You deserve it all.

Just a moment, please, Andrew.

I believe this belongs to you, madame.

Before you open that, I must suggest
that you not attend the commencement

ceremony.

Then she passed.

To avoid the humiliation.

I must have done terribly.

Terribly. No.

Terribly well.

99%. Father, this is far from a
humiliating grade.

I wasn't referring to Colleen. I was
referring to her colleagues.

They were expecting that Ronald Green
would accept the top honors.

You mean... You mean my score was the
best?

Actually, yes.

I suggest...

You celebrate privately?

Father! Let me rephrase that.

I insist that you celebrate privately.

I'll speak to the ombudsman.

Thank you, Dr.

Kirk.

The way I see it, none of those young
men are going to welcome you into the

medical community anyway.

So why should you deny yourself of the
highlights of your life?

Oh, please, will you talk some sense
into your daughter? Colleen had the

score on the medical exam.

Congratulations, Colleen.

That's wonderful, isn't it?

I'm afraid my father tried to dissuade
her from attending the graduation

ceremony.

Well, I shall have a word with Dr.

Cook first thing in the morning. No,
Grandma, I've made my decision.

What difference does it make?

They all resent me anyway.

I worked longer and harder for this
degree than any one of them.

And I deserve to receive it in any honor
that I've earned.

Andrew?

Yes. Good day.

Mother, I'm not sure it's wise to
encourage you to go against Dr. Cook.

encouraged me to go against Dr. Cook?

Well, that's an entirely different
matter, and you know it.

You, of all people, should want to see
your daughter receive a degree at

Medical School.

Yes, of course I do, but I... Did you
know that President Grant himself is

giving the speech?

No, I didn't, but... Think of your
father.

How proud he would be.

I'm proud.

We're all proud, but... There are no
buts about it.

Mother.

Mother, that's the second pill you've
taken in only minutes. What has happened

to you, Michaela?

Where is that...

sense of defiance that you marched out
of that door with nine years ago.

Colleen wants to defy those fogies she
should.

And if I want to defy death, I will.

Good morning, Brian.

Uh, morning, Ma.

Where are you going so bright and early?

Uh, I just thought I'd... head downtown.

See ya.

Don't worry.

I'm stitching slowly.

Mother, I've come to apologize.

You're right.

I'm trying to control things I
shouldn't.

Not because they're beyond my control,
which they are, but because it isn't my

right. I don't know what happened to my
sense of defiance.

I find myself feeling responsible.

As if I need to protect those that I
love, even from themselves.

I know that feeling very well.

And I'm sitting next to the person who
was the most influential in showing me

the error of my ways.

But did we exchange roles?

Hardly. You grew up, acquired a family.

And I grew older and began losing mine.

I think we have merely learned from one
another.

That's a lovely thing to say, Mother.

Oh, thank you, Michaela.

Now, what do you say we take Katie, pick
up Rebecca, and attend Mrs. Stanton's

rally today?

Elizabeth Katie Stanton? Mm -hmm. And
her friend, Miss Anthony.

But they're feminists, Mother. Well, of
course they are.

It's a suffrage rally that they're
holding on the steps of the State House.

Once you've had a daughter who has been
an elected official...

The vote takes on new meaning.

Cooper, take off that apron and put on
your coat. I want you to cover a

political event.

Me? The fact is, no one else wants the
assignment, so it's yours.

Yes, sir. Rally at the statehouse this
afternoon, but don't go overboard.

No, sir. It's just a group of ladies out
for some fresh air. Yes, sir.

And it is Mr. Sully's job to scout land
for permanent preservation of national

parks.

As entrepreneurs, we want to know how to
advance our business interest within

the parameters of the Bureau of
Guidelines.

I'm very glad to hear that.

Whole reason for this meeting.

Precisely. We want you on our side, Mr.
Stolle. Yes, exactly.

We believe in this National Parks idea.

We just want to have some influence on
what lands are appropriated.

Well, I don't have any say over that.

But you make recommendations based on
your own opinions?

I do.

And there are a multitude of options,
aren't there?

I'm not quite certain what you're
getting at. Your recommendations are

to various influences.

Am I correct?

Depends on what you mean by influence.

Well, I think the point is, private
enterprise feels that it's only fair for

to be one, just one of those influences.

I know that I myself and several other
senators agree that they should have an

equal right, along with the Indians.

Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Sully?

Of course, we're not soliciting your
support for free, Mr. Sully.

Whatever lands are diverted from the
park system, you can be sure to share in

percentage of the profits from their
development. Absolutely.

Guaranteed. We'd like to make certain
announcements at the centennial this

coming July.

That will give us all four months.
That's enough time to move it through

Congress. Just a matter of shifting
priorities in a few cases.

Simple, Billy.

You're right, Senator.

It is simple.

I simply walk out of here and forget you
ever tried to bribe me. Bribe is not a

dirty word, Mr. Tully.

It's an act of kindness.

Compared to what could be done to
somebody who tried to deny the rights of

industry.

Someone trying to bribe me? That's just
bothersome.

But threaten me?

Now you're getting me angry.

We'll see who's angry, Mr. Tully.

Mrs. Cook. Good afternoon, Mrs. O
'Keefe. Could you please let Andrew know

brought his lunch? He's still with a
patient, but he shouldn't be much

Thank you.

He'll be with you soon.

Thank you. Okay.

Check back with me next Monday.

Right. Ah, Colleen.

May I speak with you in my office?

Certainly.

Please.

Edward told me of your decision.

I'd like you to reconsider.

I'm afraid I can't do that, sir. You
can, but you won't. I just don't feel

it would be right.

On the contrary, it would be exactly
right.

Sir, why did you help me get into
Harvard in the first place?

Quite honestly, I thought it would put
an end to this nonsense.

You thought I would be frightened off?

Not so much frightened.

Andrew told me of the things you'd done
alongside your mother out west.

But I assumed that when you were in a
real medical setting with real medical

students, you would see that it's a
man's realm.

My son deserves a wife, Colleen.

A wife who'll stand by his side.

And he has one, Dr. Cook.

And I will be standing by him right here
in this clinic, bringing to your

practice Harvard Medical School's class
valedictorian.

I'm glad of your dedication to your
husband.

Mmm. And she can bake.

Coming summer, on the 4th of July, we
will be asked to celebrate the 100th

anniversary of our nation, of our
freedom from England.

But who has truly enjoyed this freedom?

The Negroes? The Indians? The Irish?

The Chinese?

Women? No!

Women cannot vote, nor can we own
property.

Nor are we permitted in the same schools
and professional institutions as men.

And if we should fall out of favor with
our husbands, we cannot even claim our

own children in a divorce.

When these injustices are rectified,
that's when I'll celebrate our country.

Until then, I...

celebrate its downtrodden.

You should have seen her.

She was in her glory.

You're so right.

It's the country that's turning 100
years old. Certainly no mother.

Really? Something wrong?

I just want you to be careful.

What do you mean?

I don't want to ruin your visit,
Michaela.

Tell me, please. Tell me.

Your first feelings about Senator
Holloway were right.

Those men he introduced me to?

They're dangerous.

They want me out of the way. I know how
they're going to do it, but I don't want

you going anywhere without me.

All right?

There's no hardship.

What about you? Shouldn't you tell the
police?

They've got senators in their pocket.
There's no telling who they control.

Don't you worry, Michaela.

I'm not going to let anything happen to
you or our family.

Our family includes you.

I will follow that system of regimen
which, according to my ability and

judgment, I consider for the benefit of
my patients.

Into whatever houses I enter, I will go
into them for the benefit of the sick

and will abstain from every corruption.

With purity and holiness, I will pass my
life and practice my high arts.

One hundred years is but a moment in the
flow of history.

And in that short time, we have
struggled to unite as a nation.

At times we've failed, but more often
we've succeeded.

And as we will continue to build this
country into a guiding force in the

we will provide leaders such as those
being honored here today.

I am proud to present the centennial
class of Harvard University's

Medical College, our physicians of
tomorrow.

A post.

A post to Colleen.

Colleen, words cannot describe my pride
in your accomplishments, your

integrity, and your humanity.

Therefore, I am donating the sum of $10
,000 to the Cook Clinic

so that it may grow into the Cook Cooper
Hospital.

Pardon me.

Mrs. Quinn, as much as I would dearly
love to accept your endowment, I'm

I cannot.

I don't understand.

I'm sorry to announce, especially at
this inopportune moment, that Colleen

not be joining our practice.

I beg your pardon?

I have partners, and they have spoken.

And what do they say?

That Colleen is not good enough to work
beside them? It's not a question of

goodness. She is as fine a young woman
as one would hope to find.

However, my partners believe that our
patients would not abide a woman doctor.

Then I see no problem.

Colleen is not a woman doctor.

As you, sir, are not a man doctor.

She is, as you and your colleagues are,
a doctor.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

I am sorry.

Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry. Grandma!

Don't get the carriage.

Excuse me.

Well, the heart does not seem to be
enlarged.

I agree.

So if it's not laboring unduly, then
it's a matter of insufficient blood. One

more of her main arteries is congested.

I estimate three.

Father, I don't think it's proper
that... I have been Mrs. Quinn's

throughout this illness, and I have not
been dismissed by the patient.

I would think it's quite clear from your
last encounter that if she were

conscious, she'd do more than dismiss
you.

Perhaps.

But it would have nothing to do with the
case.

I would think that right now...

Her survival would be more important
than an unrelated quarrel.

I agree with Dr. Cook. Right now, our
main concern is grandmother.

It is mandatory that Mrs. Quinn be
confined to full bed rest.

If her heart is not taxed beyond its
capability, she will live.

But for how long?

Only God can answer that question.

Speaking as one physician to another,
both you and I know what the medical

literature says.

She will not live.

A normal lifespan, if that's what you
mean. That is precisely what I mean.

And that is not good enough, Dr. Cook.

Short of a miracle.

I know of no other alternative.

I do.

And so should you.

I know you're a very important and busy
man.

But no doctor should ever be too busy
not to stay current with the latest

medical literature.

You insult me, Mrs. Sullivan? Dr. Quinn,
and no, no insult is intended.

I'm merely pointing out that in Paris
and London there are two physicians...

Who had performed surgeries that could
correct my mother's condition.

Dr. Ingalls and Dr. Lafarge? Yes, that's
correct. Yes, I read about them in the

latest Journal de Médecine Française.
Yes.

I've heard of foreign butchers who've
operated on pigs.

And then tried the same on some
unsuspecting humans. Dr. Ingalls and

A very prominent surgeon who are well
respected all over Europe.

And they have had success with both pigs
and humans.

Dr. Quinn.

I believe this procedure would be the
end of your mother.

Now, assuming your position for just a
minute, who would you propose to do this

surgery? Sounds to me like it has to be
this Ingalls or Lafargue, since they're

the only ones who know how.

Yes, I think that's who should do it.

You would turn your own mother into an
experiment?

No.

I would try to keep her happy and
healthy and with us for as long as God

and medicine would allow.

As I have said.

I am still Mrs. Quinn's physician,
unless she dismisses me.

And until that time, I will advise her
as I see fit.

Father, I strongly disagree with both
your attitude and your advice.

Oh, why wrinkle in the fog immediately?

I object on behalf of my patient.

She wasn't even advised of this
procedure, let alone its risks.

It is her decision, not yours, not mine.

Hers.

The beat is slow but steady.

I believe the laudanum will help her
rest peacefully until morning.

You should all go home and get some
sleep until then.

What about you, Ma?

Tully and I will go home and gather some
of her things to help make her feel

more comfortable in the hospital.

Especially since it may be a long stay.

We'll see about that.

It's a miracle we all weren't hurt more
seriously.

You've had a concussion.

You're going to have to stay in bed for
a few days.

No.

No, I... I can't.

Don't worry.

Grandma's going to be resting, too.

She wouldn't want you to jeopardize your
health by coming to the hospital before

you're able.

No, you don't understand.

What, Brian?

It's a surprise.

Well, I'm sure it can wait.

No.

No.

I'll get another blanket.

Thank you.

The good man, wasn't it?

It had to be.

One wheel coming loose, that can happen,
but both of them, not by accident.

If they had hired a better blacksmith,
we'd have gotten up more speed.

Could have been a lot worse.

I'm sure they intended it to be.

Seems as though everything is going
wrong.

Men are trying to kill Sully.

Brian getting hurt.

Grandma's sick.

Now I can't work at the clinic.

We are not going to be working at the
clinic.

Andrew, you cannot ruin your career. I
won't be ruining it.

I'll be starting a new one.

As what?

As a doctor, of course.

Right alongside my beautiful wife, who
is also a doctor, and a very good one, I

hear.

You are taking this far too lightly,
Andrew.

Promise me you will continue to work
with your father until we have some kind

realistic alternative.

Colleen, I... Promise?

She'll need these.

She likes to read before bed.

Great expectations.

She'll want these.

Don't let her die.

to go.

Katie, what time is it?

Well, the big hand is on the six and the
little hand is between the ten and the

eleven.

Oh, no.

Dr. Cook, I'll give you my word again.

We'll call you the moment she awakens.

I'll wait.

You're doing it again.

Stop talking about me as though I
weren't in the room.

What happened?

You've had a more serious heart seizure.

And now?

Unless you remain bedridden, Mr. Rainer,
your heart will be too much.

So you mean my heart is...

So weak, I'll die.

Unless you remain veteran.

However, there is an alternative.

That is a matter of opinion.

What is an opinion that I want to hear?

Your daughter is well -intentioned.
Colin and I both share Dr. Quinn's

Your daughter, your granddaughter, and
my son are all well -intentioned. Before

you continue, I would prefer if you
referred to my daughter, my

and your son as doctor.

Otherwise, I get the distinct feeling
that whatever this is all about, you are

awaiting matters in your favor.

Very well.

Dr. Quinn, Dr.

Colleen Cook, and Dr. Andrew Cook all
believe that they have a solution to

condition, which I, Dr. Charles Cook,
believe to be extremely dangerous.

Now, with my solution, you can stay
alive, though somewhat circumscribed.

With their so -called solution, death is
a near certainty.

Well, I'm afraid I can't believe they're
out to kill me.

But if somebody doesn't explain what
we're talking about, the suspense just

might.

Mother, there are two doctors in Europe
who've had some success with heart

surgery to correct the same sort of
condition that you're suffering from.

little success compared to their
failures. It's a new procedure, but they

it well.

It's just that most of the humans
they've been able to operate on have

such stages of deterioration that they
couldn't survive the surgery.

Humans as opposed to what?

Pigs, actually.

You are not a pig, Mrs. Quinn.

Why, thank you, Dr. Cook.

So what you're saying is that you think
I'm still healthy enough to survive the

surgery. And if I do, I can live the
rest of my life normally?

Yes, that's what I believe.

Andrew and I do too, Grandma.

When do we sail?

Mother, I believe we should bring the
doctors here to you.

But will they?

We can ask.

By all means, ask.

If you're going through with this, I
resign from your care.

Dr. Cook, I accept your resignation.

And I sincerely thank you for all of
your efforts in my behalf.

I thought it best not to say the rest of
it.

Well, I shouldn't upset myself.

Right?

Right.

James. Good morning.

Aunt Rebecca.

I won.

Every time.

That injury must be affecting his game,
Katie.

Yeah, that must be it.

Well, how would you like to go shopping
with me for new party dresses to

celebrate President Washington's
birthday?

Oh, boy, ma 'am, Mama.

Certainly.

In fact, I wish I could go with you, but
I promised Colleen I'd take her to the

library so we could learn more about how
to help Grandma.

Can we buy Grandma a party dress, too?

That's a wonderful idea, Katie.

And we'll take it to Grandma at the
hospital and stay for tea. Oh, she'd

that.

Better luck next time.

Thanks. Here you go.

Do you want a party dress, too, Mama?

Oh, thank you, sweetheart, but I think I
have just the right one.

Have fun. Oh, we will.

Oh, I better get going myself.

Colleen will be waiting for me.

Rest now, Brian.

Mr. Croft.

You're fired.

Sir, I can explain.

You've got a note from your doctor
saying you were on your deathbed.

Not exactly, no.

You're fired.

Sir, I was injured in a carriage
accident.

I was unconscious.

The minute I woke up, I came straight
here.

Then you should have no problem
producing a doctor's note.

I can't exactly do that, sir. You're
fired.

Sir, please.

You've got to believe me. I never lied.
What?

I'd never lie to anybody.

Sorry, Mr. Croft. Oh, heavens, boy.

Why didn't you say you were hurt?

You should be in bed.

I would have brought a doctor's note,
but I didn't want to tell my family

I'd really gotten the job.

My article on the supper drill is there.

The action of the heart is irregular,
tumultuous, obscure and perceptible

the ordinary limit.

In general, it is accompanied by a
peculiar, undulatory or wave -like

owing the fact that some beats are
stronger than others.

Let's stop for now and have some lunch.

I know a pub.

Doctor?

Fellow graduates?

I wish I didn't care.

No, then you'd be just like them.

Maybe I wish I was like them.

A man?

No, Ma, just... Just accepted.

As I said, then you'd have to be a man.

So what if I have this fancy medical
degree?

I'm still a nobody.

Colleen, you are not a nobody.

Come with me.

Ma, the pub's the other way.

It can wait.

These people are thought to be nobody's,
Colleen.

And even they are somebody's.

They've wants and needs and loves.

They're about for good fortune. Go, you
and I.

Ma, where are we going?

To one of the only places I was allowed
to practice after my father died.

Usually women doctors only have three
choices.

Four house, the asylum, and the
orphanage.

I don't think that you've been condemned
to hell.

Along with you, it's worth all that.

But then you realize that this is a
torrent's work for fruition.

And to whatever houses I enter, I will
go into them for the benefit of the

And abstain from every... corruption.

A dozen of such academies. You've done
hundreds.

I'll be here if you need me.

Raise you 20.

I'll see her, 20.

Raise you 20.

He's bluffing. He's always bluffing.

I'm not a violent man, but I believe in
self -defense.

You want to try to kill me or my loved
ones?

I'm going to kill them first.

Please tell Senator Holloway that Mr.
Sully is here to see him. He's not here.

Sir.

Then I'll wait.

I'm afraid he's in Washington.

May I take a message?

Washington, huh? Yes, sir.

Sir! Who shall I say called?

Dr. Engels, Dr. McFarg, they're coming.

Mother, they're supposed to be asleep.

The early bird catches the worm, and I
think I've already caught one.

This is an article on the suffrage
rally, and it mentions our attendance.

Our attendance?

It's part of the crowd.

Right there.

Among the attendees was the well
-respected Elizabeth Quinn and two of

distinguished daughters, Rebecca
Dickinson and Dr. Michaela Quinn Sully.

It doesn't mention anyone else.

I think that's owing to the prejudice of
the writer.

Brian Cooper.

Brian Cooper? Not our Brian Cooper.

None other?

But how?

Well, apparently, he got himself a job
when no one was looking.

A job?

Well, this is the Boston Globe, Mother.
Of course it is. It's the only newspaper

I read.

Remember, Michaela, Mother does have a
few friends in high places.

Well, friends can only open doors, but
Brian's own two feet.

Carried him through.

Wonderful.

Then why do you sound so glum?

I suppose I'm wondering whether this is
a temporary job or whether Brian will be

moving here to Boston. Oh, Michaela,
please don't think that I'm trying to

all my grandchildren back to Boston.

I had no idea that Colleen and Andrew
would get together.

Brian asked me to help him and... What
could I say?

Mother, it's... I suppose it just took
me by surprise, that's all. He did swear

me to secrecy.

But I assumed that someone would tell
you now that he's published.

I was just... I was so proud.

Me too.

Everyone has a purpose.

Someplace to go.

Someplace they need to be.

Don't worry, darling. We'll find a
position for you.

Actually, Ma's already found one.

She did?

Well, why haven't you told me?

Well, I'm not sure whether or not to
take it.

Why? It's not far from Boston, is it?

Actually, I'm surprised at how close it
is.

Well, now you have me entirely puzzled.

It's the orphanage.

Or the poorhouse.

Or the asylum. Or all three, for that
matter.

Andrew, there is a desperate need for
doctors.

Yes, but there's so much violence and
disease.

Colleen, I would worry sick about you
treating some lunatic who might turn on

you. You could protect me.

We can work together.

You and I can make a difference, Andrew.

Yes, of course.

But how do I put food on our table?

We don't need to find a table as we
have.

Nor find a house to put it in. We can
live more simply.

We'll find a way to get by.

I'm so proud of you.

You know how mothers are.

That's your mother.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

Ma. Shh.

Grandma's sleeping.

I need to talk to you.

I ruined everything, Colleen.

I talked Andrew into resigning from his
job in order to work with me.

You left the father's clinic?

Yes.

And we went to work at the orphanage.
And we were there all day, Mom.

And the little children died in our arms
despite everything we did.

And when we left, the administrator
didn't pay us anything.

And now I've just ruined Andrew's
career.

Did he say that?

No, but... I mean, how will he ever be a
great doctor now?

Apparently, Andrew doesn't think being a
great doctor is as important as being a

good man.

President Grant is right this way.

Mr. Sully.

Mr. President, thank you very much for
seeing me on such short notice. Not at

all. That was a very good speech you
gave the other day at my daughter's

graduation.

At Harvard.

Ah, yes.

I didn't know they admitted girls to
Harvard.

They made an exception in her case, but
they swear they won't do it again.

I see.

Is that what you wanted to talk with me
about, Mr. Sully? Because I'm afraid

when it comes to the university
regents... No, sir.

What I'm here for concerns Congress.

Now you're talking.

I need...

I need a small favor.

Anything I can do is not enough for the
man who saved my life, Mr. Sully.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Mother?

Mother, the ship's just come in.

Doctors Engels and Lafarge are here.

They've just gone to the hotel to
freshen up, and then they're coming

to see you.

Mother?

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name. Thy

kingdom

come,

Amen.

My family has chosen me to speak on
their behalf, to thank you all for the

and respect you bring to this farewell.

We all knew Elizabeth Ann Weston Quinn
as a woman of substance.

But the most appropriate word to
describe her is rarely used to describe

unless in a derogatory fashion.

I think she would like it if her passing
freed this word to be used in a

positive way.

The word strong.

Elizabeth Quinn was a strong woman.

She held strong opinions and fought with
the strength of a lioness in support of

them.

Most of you know how she and my father
worked to the abolition of slavery.

But few of you know how she championed
the rights of Indians and of late

rights.

She believed in freedom.

And she was strong enough to keep
learning and changing in her

that word.

But most importantly, her love was
strong.

She loved her family and friends with
ferocity.

She never hesitated to defend them, even
at her own expense.

She always loved lavishly.

It sometimes frightened people away from
her.

The lucky ones were brave enough to
allow it, only to find the gentle

that was the core of her love.

I was one of those lucky ones.

Thank you, Mother, for your love

and your strength.

Marjorie and I are looking for Grandma.

Sweetheart, come here.

You remember what Grandma told you about
heaven?

Well, people don't come back from
heaven.

Why not?

Because it's a lovely place, and it's
where everyone wants to stay.

Doesn't she miss us?

Yes, of course she does.

But we'll go there.

I'll be with her later.

And Aunt Marjorie?

Yes, and a lot of other fine people.

Like who?

Like Charlotte Cooper.

That's Matthew and Colleen O 'Brien's
real mom.

Maude Bray, Mr. Bray's wife, and Olive,
his sister, and

Chief Black Kettle, leader of the
Cheyenne.

A lot of wonderful people.

Hello.

I'm looking for Brian Cooper.

If the driver's name isn't repeated
here, we think the reporter is referring

the horse, isn't he?

Yes, sir. Mm -hmm.

Excuse me.

Sully.

Mr. Croft, this is my pawn, Mr. Sully.
How do you do?

Glad to meet you. I didn't mean to
interrupt. I'm sorry, but I have

important I think you both should know.

I believe folks in your line of business
call it a scoop.

That's correct.

Yes.

Well, tomorrow at the ceremony honoring
President Washington, President Grant's

going to reveal an investigation of
certain senators about bribery charges

involving some prominent businessmen.
About? All about the Bureau of Land

Management.

Kelly was the first surveyor for
Yellowstone.

Interesting.

You got yourself a good little scandal
here.

Industry trying to interfere with the
new national park system?

Think about it.

Very well.

I'll let our editor -in -chief know, and
he'll assign a top reporter.

Uh, see, that's the thing.

When I talked to President Grant...
Sully saved his life.

Well, you ought to make sure that Brian
got the exclusive on the story.

Brian? Me?

Well, after I told him you worked for
the Boston Globe.

Well, he insisted.

Well, then.

We have some preparation to do, Cooper.

Yes, sir.

I'll let you get to it.

Thanks for your visit.

Thank you.

Sully.

Excuse me, sir. Certainly.

Oh.

Thanks. A lot.

Oh.

To my granddaughter, Dr.

Colleen Cooper Cook, and her husband,
Dr.

Andrew Cook.

I hereby bequeath an ongoing endowment
for the establishment of the Cooper

Clinic for the Underprivileged.

And last, but far from least, I dictate
that the

remainder of my estate be liquidated and
the proceeds go to building a

hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado
to be administered by my daughter.

Dr. Michaela Quinn.

These are things.

They're just going to be sold at auction
as if they never mattered.

Well, it seems pretty clear that other
things mattered more to Elizabeth.

Important kinds of things like Colleen
and Andrew's work.

Like having a proper hospital in
Colorado Springs.

A photograph.

They're not just things, are they?

No, I agree.

They're pieces of a person's soul.

Something to be treasured forever.

Sonny.

There's a forever, isn't there?

Oh, yeah.

We're all going to be together again.

I'm going to volunteer at the clinic.

That's a good idea.

I love you, Mom.

And I love you.

And I love you, too.
