Original subtitles

They don't think you can hit it. They don't. You missed last time from here.

I know.

I should have been back further before I threw it.

Want to try again?

No. Spirits are with you too much today.

I say you, Doc.

Any young man who don't have a horse.

Doctor might come to boot.

We didn't expect you till tomorrow.

Sure, let us know you're coming.

The army wagon train came in early. I told these gentlemen to bring the food

right now.

How's dancing?

Beans and corn, it's all good, too. Let me help you unload.

I got four sacks of flowers, not a worm in any of them.

What are the dark soldiers doing here? They wouldn't have been here if you'd

come tomorrow like you said. I didn't know they were here.

It's not her fault.

Don't let them do this. Stop.

Not worth dying over.

Rose!

What are we gonna do?

What are we going to do now?

Nothing. Nothing?

It's none of our business.

But those men were murdered.

Those men were killed by their enemy.

They were shot in the back. Anyone who wants to know, tell them the soldiers

dropped off the food.

They left and you stayed behind.

You're asking me to lie?

Now if you tell the truth, the army will come back and kill everyone here.

But it was the dog soldiers who did it.

with the old women and men.

Stay here with me. No, Father, I listened to you long enough.

Time to fight.

I want to save this village now.

The best thing you can do is forget it ever happened.

I ain't got no more.

All right, I got one more.

Where is she?

Right there.

Name a half horse.

Gonna have to throw in a saddle if you want to see my cards.

Four kings?

Mister, you just got yourself a horse.

Let's see what I want.

Come here.

Open up.

Don't like that, do you?

Nice, you little girl.

Dr. Quinn.

What do you want, General Cutler?

Dr. Quinn accompanied two of my men to the reservation to deliver supplies.

The two men have not yet returned to post.

Did you see them leave the reservation, Dr. Quinn?

Yes. When was that?

Not long after their ride.

I suggest the two of you stay close to town from now on.

There's been an increase in attacks by Cheyenne war parties.

I suspect that is what happened to my men.

Should that be the case, there's going to be hell to pay.

I can hear you.

I vote for chocolate cake.

Let Brian decide. It's his birthday.

What do you want?

I want a horse.

A horse?

She's the best horse I ever saw.

She's real smart.

And she's not too big for me.

She's not a pony. She's just too small for Hank.

Hank?

Hank owns her?

He won her in a poker game.

What makes you think he wants to sell her?

I don't even like her.

I'm sure we could buy her.

Well, I don't know if we can afford another horse right now.

It costs a lot of money to keep a horse, Brian.

You can ride Flash any time you want to.

But she's your horse.

I want my own. I'm old enough.

Brian... Hank's got plenty of horses.

Hank don't even like her.

Oh, afternoon.

Still serving lunch if you'd like a seat.

I'm looking for Dr. Quinn.

Well, she's right over there.

Dr.

Quinn. Yes?

I'm Anna Cottle.

My husband rode out to the reservation with you.

He didn't say anything.

See, I was thinking maybe he deserted.

And you knew where I was supposed to meet him.

Sorry, he didn't say anything to me.

Would you like to join us?

I have to tell her.

No.

She needs to know the truth.

Do you know what the truth is?

If her husband had got away, he'd probably come back with a hundred

killed everybody in that village.

What if they ask me again about what happened?

I won't lie.

Do you know what that'll do?

But those men had families. Those men?

I told you.

There's a war going on here. Any fool can see that.

If they ask me again, I'm not lying.

Something on your mind?

You've been staring at those two skeins for almost ten minutes.

I just can't seem to make up my mind. They're both the same color.

I don't really need yarn.

I need advice.

What kind?

I thought something had happened.

Something terrible.

I lied about it because I'm afraid that if I tell the truth, far worse things

will happen.

Kayla, are you and the children in danger? No.

Well, if what happened is as bad as you say, then it's got to be found out

before too long. Then people are going to want to know why you didn't speak up

sooner.

What did you see?

I don't want this to end up in your gazette.

It won't.

I've been reading in my newspaper book about something called... Off the

it means that you can say what you want, and I can't print it.

I don't want you to print this or talk to anyone about it.

Michaela, this is just between friends.

Hank, I need to talk to you. I knew you'd be back.

Got another game starting up in an hour.

I'll cover you if you're a little short.

I didn't come here to play poker.

I came here because I want to buy your horse.

What horse?

That one that you got gambling.

You want to buy that horse?

It's for my brother for his birthday.

How much?

Ain't for sale, but if you'd like to gamble for it.

Change your mind and let me know.

You too.

I'll need to see you again in a week.

I feel so much better just knowing what it was. Make sure you take all of the

medicine. I will.

And thank you. Good day, Doctor. Good day.

Horace, come out here.

What is it?

Look over there. What's that?

A monk.

Horace Boyer?

Nothing but grass. Has to be a house.

Probably the Clemmer Ranch.

Oh, that's gunfire.

Engine attack!

Engine attack!

Get your rifles! Let's go!

I better wire Denver.

What are you doing to my horse?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Why is she acting so spooked?

Maybe because she doesn't like you.

This horse, this horse loves me.

Don't you, girl?

Come here.

Come here. Don't do that. She doesn't do nothing.

Hey.

Just leave my horse alone, will you?

I don't want some stupid kid spoiling me.

Come here.

Come here.

Hey.

Even if I do find her, I'm still Hank's horse.

I know.

I've been thinking, she don't know you.

If she's scared, I can talk to her.

Maybe I'd better come with you.

Please, Matthew?

Better get another Larry. Yay!

Where are you going so early?

I've got some things to do in town.

I think you should stay close to home until all the troubles are over.

I'm even thinking we should postpone Brian's birthday party.

Why?

Custer's got half the army patrolling this valley, all the dog soldiers headed

south.

I got one!

Dr. Mike?

Mind if Brian comes along?

Well, if you go straight into town and back, I guess it'll be all right.

Thanks, Mom.

Be careful.

There she is.

Get down, Brian.

What are you going to do to her?

Rope her.

But you don't have to do that. Let me try.

Let me try. Brian.

Matthew, let me try. Brian. Let me try. Brian. Let me try.

All right, here.

You try, but be careful.

Ryan, be careful.

Here, girl.

Come on.

Hey. Hey, girl.

Got something for you.

Come on over,

Matthew.

How'd you do that?

She likes me.

Ryan.

It hurts.

She's done this breaking out of the corral.

Is she going to be all right?

I think if it gets much worse, she's going to go lame.

Then she'd have to be put down. No!

We could hide her.

If she'll get better, she will.

Please, Matthew.

I guess we could... If we could keep her here, at least till she's fit, it's

time to figure out what to do.

I believe these belong to you.

Sidney was wearing them when we captured him.

And he was riding a stolen army horse.

I know you were there, Dr. Quinn.

Yes, I was.

I'd like to know what happened.

The men...

We came to bring the supplies to the village.

We're killed by dog soldiers.

Was this Indian one of those that killed my men?

Yes, he was.

Anybody else see this happen?

Anyone with you?

I was alone.

Did you happen to see where my men were buried? I'd like to claim their remains.

Sergeant. Yes, sir. Take this murdering Indian back to Fort Collins, and when

you get there, hang him.

Yes, sir.

And, Sergeant, when you return with reinforcements, we're going back to that

village.

The whole thing should never have happened.

Can't change the fact that two men died because I showed up a day early.

Two lives have been lost. It doesn't matter if they were Indians or soldiers.

What matters is how we can stop this incident from becoming a terrible war.

It's over too late for that.

We will come back when Custer is gone.

What if he doesn't leave?

Then we will come back and fight.

How did Custer find out his soldiers were here?

Who told him?

It does not matter.

This man scouts for the army. Maybe he betrayed us.

I told him.

You have become an old man.

I no longer will listen to you.

You, who are my father's friend, are now my enemy.

We meet again, I will shoot you.

What's your mom looking for? I'm looking for a horse.

Horse? Yeah.

Don't happen to have one hanging around, do you?

No, sir. No extra horses around here.

I thought you might, since Lauren says you was buying extra oats and extra

this week.

Your horse ain't here, Hank.

If someone was to find my horse and still keep her, when they knew I was out

looking for her, I'd say that fellow was no better than a horse thief.

Wouldn't you?

Horse thief?

You know what happens to horse thieves?

What's going on?

Nothing.

Help!

Help!

Get Dr. Mike!

Move!

What happened?

They're coming from Soda Springs.

The Indians attacked the stage about two miles from here. You're hit.

Where's the driver? He's dead.

Oh, there's everybody in here.

Can

you

walk?

Help me. I can't stop the bleeding.

Ma said it works on everything.

You

followed

me. You said you weren't doing nothing.

Looks like you are.

It's all right. She's my friend.

She won't hurt you.

What happened to her?

She did it running away from Hank.

He was hurting her.

This is Hank's horse.

The one you wanted.

And she's mine now.

Brian, you can't keep her.

You heard what Hank said. It's the same as stealing.

But she ran away.

And she's got to go back.

I love this horse, Colleen.

I want to keep her.

This horse is hurt bad.

That cut looks infected.

She could die.

You can make her better.

You can do it. Clean, clean.

No, I can't.

I don't know how.

You gotta take her to Robert E. He'll know what to do.

If I do that, Hank will get her.

If you really love this horse, you'll do what's right

for her.

No matter what happens.

We just stopped to water the horses at Aspen Creek.

Suddenly there was all this shouting and guns going off.

The driver got hit.

So I jumped up and grabbed the lines.

I've never driven a stagecoach in my life.

You were very brave.

Let's do it, soldier.

This one's dead. Him too.

This one's alive.

Doc, what are you going to do to keep this Indian alive so I can question him?

Reverend, what happened to you?

I was on a stagecoach that got ambushed by dog soldiers.

What was that?

This morning.

General, I want to know why the army isn't doing a better job of protecting

Well, we're doing our best, Dr. Quinn.

But it is very difficult to prevail as long as prominent citizens continue to

foster sympathy for the renegade Cheyenne.

Here.

He's dead, sir.

Well, I lied, Dr. Quinn. I won't be needing your services after all.

I apologize.

I'm sure you don't like being lied to any more than I do.

Sergeant Mustard with burial detail.

Yes, sir.

I'd like to say a few words over the grains, Reverend.

I hope they burn in hell.

Done the best I can. The rest is up to her.

Thanks, Robert.

Come on.

Well, I better go tell Hank we found his horse.

Matthew, ask Hank if he'll sell the horse.

Will you?

Brian, he's not going to sell.

He's got to be away.

Ask him, please.

It's going to be all right.

Myra.

Hey, Matthew.

Is that poker game still on for this week?

Sure. Is he going to play?

I'm thinking about it.

I thought you gave up gambling.

Well, I did, but I don't think I have much choice.

Uh, where's Hank?

He's inside. What made you change your mind?

Brian really wants that horse.

Now's not a good time to go in and talk to him.

He's in there watering down his whiskey.

Maybe it is.

Hey. Close, Matthew.

I just wanted to tell you I found your horse.

You did?

Yeah.

She's over at Robert E's.

Got her trying to run away, but I think she's going to be all right.

Much obliged.

Anything else, I'm busy.

Let's see.

Listen, Hank.

My little brother wants to buy this horse.

He's willing to work for it. He'll do chores for you.

What do you say?

I say if you let me back you in the next big poker game, you can buy that horse

with your share of the winnings.

I could do that.

But, uh, I think it would mean more to Brian if he would earn it himself.

You know, teaching the value of hard work and getting what you pay for.

We wouldn't want to cheat him out of that, would we, Hank?

Oh, no, we wouldn't.

When does he start?

Tomorrow would be fine.

I'll tell him.

Dr. Mike!

Where's everybody?

At the church, the Reverend called a meeting.

Where have you been?

In the mountains with Cloud Dancing. Come on, you've got to warn them. What's

wrong? Where are the children? At home?

Silly!

protect us any longer. That's for sure.

So the citizens committee is telling everyone to move into town here until

dog soldier's been captured.

Or killed.

Dog soldiers won't be coming back for a while.

How do you know?

The army's chasing them.

I hope you're right, Sully.

Any Indian shows up or anybody looking like an Indian is gonna get shot.

Hank, not every Indian in Colorado is a dog soldier trying to kill you.

In time, they will be.

We need every man that can carry a gun to sign up for guard duty.

I don't like the idea of Brian working... Myra said that she would look

him. And it's going to be during the day. There's nothing going on there

the day.

He must really want that horse.

I'll tell Brian that he can take the job, but I want you to watch out for

too. I will.

Where do you think you're going?

Mrs. Carraway's still at her cabin. She has a broken leg and can't ride. Matthew

and I are going to go get her.

I'll go with him. You stay here.

Sully, I have to go.

She's going to need an injection of morphine to make the journey with that

broken leg. Show me. I'll do it. You can't. You wouldn't know how much to

her. I'll be all right.

And you said the army's chasing the dog soldiers, and they won't be back near us

in a while.

Truth is, there's no telling where they are or what they're going to do.

Well, I can't just leave.

If we go now, there shouldn't be any trouble.

Fine. Have it your way.

I'll be back before dark.

Come on.

Afternoon, Brian.

Afternoon, Myra. I was expecting you around this time.

Everything's going to be all right.

Well, right on time.

Like that and my employees.

What do you want me to start with?

You can start with these.

Clean them up.

We've got a woman here with a broken leg.

A little cusser told us to bring her to Dr. Quinn.

She's gone, but I'll take care of her. Can you carry her inside?

Yes, ma 'am.

All right, I'm carried away.

Helene, that's the woman Dr. Michael Sullivan went to go get.

We expect to read an enforcement from Denver within a day.

Until then, I suggest you all stay around town.

Dog soldiers are raiding all around here.

We better go find them. No, Matthew.

Colleen, you know that Dr. Mike's going to keep on looking for her. The longer

they stay out there, the better chance they're going to run into a war party.

Take care, Brian. I'll be back.

No, you gotta go. No!

Get away, you know you can't. I won't leave you.

Follow the voice.

Tell me, what's the matter?

Matthew, I need rope, food, blankets, and some candles.

Robert E., I need your fastest horse. You got it.

Hey, it's Mom's wagon.

Tell me, what's up to Mike?

Dog food was kicked after.

You got Mom?

Why didn't you stop them?

I tried. I tried for too many of them. Why'd they want to hurt Mom?

She didn't do nothing. Mom's been their friend.

These Indians ain't her friends.

They're renegades.

Look.

I know she's alive. I've seen her.

I will find her. I swear to you, I will find her.

Here you go, Sully.

That's the torch I got. Thank you, Robert E. All right, throw it up here.

Dr. Michael, want to take this bag?

We'll look after the children, Sully. Thank you, Grace.

It's just about a kidnapping of Dr. Quinn.

The Dawn soldiers took her.

Something could show you where to start looking.

There's only a few hours of light left.

I'll send some men out to begin searching tomorrow at dawn. It'll be too

then. Let me get a horse. I'll go with you. So I... No, thanks.

Travel faster alone.

Anyone leaving this town forfeits any guarantee of my protection.

If you like my advice, I... I don't.

Do as you wish.

But anyone riding out of here tonight does so at their own risk.

Don't expect the army to come and rescue you.

I won't.

You sure won that, didn't I?

Thank

you.

I know that your father... This is not about my father.

I reminded them there was nothing dead to us.

Brian.

Sorry.

What are you doing here?

Cleaning up.

Well, you don't got to be doing this.

I mean, I... I thought with your ma and

all, you might not...

Feel like showing up for a while.

Clayton says we should just keep doing what we were doing.

Like Ma was here.

Don't forget the corners.

YOU TALK COCK

What are they going to do to him?

I don't know.

Come on, Brian.

people go they're my prisoners what do they do they're under arrest for leaving

their reservation and for aiding and abetting the enemy sorry where's dr mike

did you find her she's all right why didn't you bring her home where is she

dog soldiers know that you've taken this village captive now they are willing to

trade dr mike for these indians out of the question these are dog soldiers

are women and old men and children are you at war with them

You children want to see your mother again, don't you?

Yes, sir.

Well, I think that can be arranged.

I want you to deliver a message to the dog soldiers.

Tell them that unless Dr.

Quinn has returned safely, I will begin executing these prisoners as soon as a

gallows can be constructed.

Tell them they have to stop the bleeding.

Loneheart killed two soldiers this morning.

Says he's ready to die.

But he doesn't have to. Tell them that I can help them.

I can help him.

Hold it. Hold it there. Just like that.

I can make a plaster.

I believe so.

My father taught me how to do it.

He taught me many good things.

Then how could you betray him?

I didn't know you were hiding dog soldiers in the village.

Had I known, I would never have brought the army with me that day.

What's he saying?

They're going.

One night wants to leave now before the army comes.

And that man can't travel.

Go. Get on the boat. Now.

You can't leave him here.

Someone has to take care of him or he'll die.

we do away with all of them, the better.

I mean, those Indians just stand in the way of everything we want to do with

this country.

Any reason to kill them?

Our horse.

It's their fault. They didn't stay where we put them.

That's because they got no food on the reservation.

Indians are a different animal.

We can't live together.

Maybe not.

Dr. Mike said there's no reason why we shouldn't try to get along.

Look what happened to her.

that she's saying something different now.

Sully ain't gonna find her.

If he does, he won't want what's left.

I got a telegram this morning.

There's a reporter coming from the Denver paper to write about this

Well, I suppose the whole world's gonna know about what happened here.

Are we sure this is something we want to be famous for?

Hey, Robert E. Brian.

How's she doing?

Oh, she's eating better today.

What about her leg?

I won't know till I take the bandage off.

Brian.

If that leg don't heal right, that horse won't be worth much.

And you would have done all that work for Hank for nothing.

That's all right, Robert E.

I'll take her anyway.

Just so Hank don't hurt her no more.

Hey, girl.

Come on.

Want some?

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

How'd you do this?

Scrubbing floor.

Look at Dale.

There.

Got it.

He's working you awful hard.

I don't mind.

I've got nothing else to do.

I can't play in the woods. I can't go home.

I can't really do anything at all.

I feel like I'll find Ma, won't he?

Anybody in this whole world can find her.

I really can.

I'm going to ask for some extra help tonight.

Please.

Please, don't.

Please, don't hurt me.

Please, don't.

When I will not let you live, he has said so.

I don't want to see my father and all his innocent people die.

The ghost will haunt me forever.

You're the only one that can save them. You must go.

Follow the river.

Go.

Go. Go!

The Doce Mayo.

Was she here?

I know she was here.

Friend of the Cheyenne.

Please, help me find her.

All right.

Can you tell me?

Can you tell me?

She's my heart song.

You don't say at all.

Mom.

No dancing.

I brought you some water.

It's the general's orders.

It's water. They haven't had a drink all day.

You can't give them nothing.

Hey! You can't treat them like this. You haven't given them food or water.

They're Indians, and they're going to hang in a couple of days, so it don't

matter. Does Matthew.

Even the Romans gave water to the condemned.

The children first.

Reverend. Yes?

I have asked to speak with the general. He will not come.

Would you talk with him?

Do you know where Dr. Mike is?

If you do, then I'll tell Custer. He'll go find her, he'll bring her back, and

then you'll be set free.

All he wants is to get her back unharmed.

I do not know where she is.

And I'll have to pray that Sully will find her. I have prayed.

I have prayed to know how our God let this happen.

Were your prayers answered?

Spirits do not talk to me.

Would you ask your God if this is his will?

Is this what your God wants?

Ryan. Hello, Myra.

You can stop now.

Hank said he wanted this whole box filled.

Well, Hank ain't here, and he don't know how much it's disturbing the customers.

It's all right. I'll tell him. You won't get in trouble.

Everything's going to be all right.

Yes, ma 'am.

Right, right.

She's going to be all right.

Hey, Hank, look.

It's all better.

She's going to be fine. Ain't that great?

What do you think of my horse?

Too

steep

for you to climb.

You stay here.

I'll be back.

Get away from her, it's here.

Brian?

Robert E. said it's most likely he found her by now. They're on their way home.

Brian, I sold the horse.

What do you mean?

This man paid me what I asked.

He's my horse.

He said I could work for her.

That was before I thought she'd heal up.

Here.

Here's some...

what you did.

I don't want the money. I want the horse.

You can't have her. She's sold.

You've got no right to sell her. We had a deal. The deal's off.

Look, there's going to be other horses.

This is business.

What do you have, Lorne? I want that horse you promised Brian.

The horse is gone. I sold it. You had a deal with that little boy.

So? A deal's a deal. You've got to honor it.

Why don't you? Not with a kid. Especially with a kid.

Why, his whole life was turned upside down.

All he had to hang on to was that horse, and now it's gone.

He'll get over it.

Come on, Lorne. It's business. You'd do the same thing.

I suppose I would.

That shipment of whiskey you ordered. Yeah. The cost just went up.

Fifty cents a bottle.

Wait a minute.

And you know that silk fabric your girls have been wanting?

The price just doubled.

You can't do this, Loren.

You'll get over it.

I wouldn't be doing too much of that if I was you, Hank.

The price of glass just went up, too.

Look at that!

Only male.

Only male.

Turn your back.

Turn. Not thus.

I'm here.

We're safe.

We're safe.

Found some berries and honeycomb while you were sleeping.

It's going to be dark soon.

We'll go then and call it off spring soon.

Sometime tomorrow.

I can't walk.

All right.

I'll carry you.

Did they hurt you?

No.

Better try and eat something.

General, I have a word with you.

Certainly, Reverend.

I want you to call off these executions.

Forgive me, Reverend, but you're the man who said those Indians could burn in

hell.

Aren't you?

Yes. Well?

I was angry and I was frightened when I said it.

But I was wrong.

And you are wrong to punish innocent people for the crimes of others.

Come on, Reverend.

They're all guilty of something, even if we didn't see them do it. That's right.

They're Indians.

And the fewer of them we've got to worry about, the better.

As you can see, Reverend, the public shares the same opinion as I do.

That's nothing to be proud of, General.

Unless Dr.

Quinn is returned by noon tomorrow, the executions will go on as scheduled.

Arrest her now?

Yes.

No!

No, I'll make it if you have to carry me.

It's too far.

I can swim.

I love you.

I love you.

Sergeant, let's begin.

Yes, sir.

Reverend, can you stop this? No.

I want your children to leave right now.

Please, Todd Denton is my friend. You can't let him do this. Please, you have

stop him.

I might not have to.

Look.

Mike! Mike!

Let him go Let

the prisoners go Release

the prisoners Tell the men to break camp

I'm grateful, my spirit, for listening to my prayers.

I'm grateful mine did, too.

My son is dead.

Did the army kill him?

No.

It was one eye.

He died saving my life.

So I could come back and save yours.

There we go. Brian's running, running, running.

Oh, my God. Brian's getting dizzy.

He's got to pin the tail on the donkey.

Hey, this way. Oh, look.

Brian, what are you doing?

Brian. Not that way.

It's over here.

Brian,

you're going the wrong way.

Brian, it's over here.

Right this way.

Do it this way, Brian.

Here you go. I don't want to do this no more.

Hey!

It's your horse, Brian.

She's mine?

Yep.

Deal's a deal.

Made you change your mind, Hank.

Yeah. Sometimes it's just good business for a man to keep to his word.

Here you go, girl.

She likes candy.

Yes, she's got sweet tooth.

And she is your horse.

See you up on her, Brian.

What are you going to call her?

Ready up there? Mm -hmm. All right.

Go.

Ask me and Brian. Get your good kick, Brian.

Sweet.

Thank you.

Couldn't miss a birthday.
