♪ Amazing grace

♪ How sweet the sound

♪ That saved a wretch
like me ♪

♪ I once was lost,
but now I'm found ♪

♪ Was blind,
but now I see. ♪

Amen.

Amen.

All right, now
some announcements.

Our Founder's Day
Social's all set.

We're going to have

a pie-eating contest.

You folks start
building up your appetites.

We've got
relay races,

and a pot luck supper dance.

And of course, the auction,

where we plan on
raising the money

we need to open
a real school.

Now who's got something
that they want to donate?

The sewing circle's got a quilt

we've been working on
a whole year.

It's a real beauty.

Thank you, Emily,

and you ladies
of the sewing circle.

Free shaves and haircuts
for a month.

Thank you, Jake.

One of my prize bulls
from Mexico.

Oh, Olive,
sit down.

Thank you,
Miss Olive.

Have you lost
your mind?

Anybody else?

Smallpox vaccinations
for the whole family.

Well, thank you,
Dr. Quinn.

Who else has something
they would want to donate?

The vaccine saves lives.

If folks are healthy
you ought to leave 'em be.

Well, this will
keep them healthy

and prevent
an epidemic.

Don't you know that?

I know I don't want
no part of it.

Good day.

If I could just
get through to them.

You ought to join
the quilting circle.

I don't have
the time.

You ought to find
the time.

Those ladies,
they decide

a lot of things
in this town.

Things like vaccinations.

Two ladies.

Two gents.

Damn.

Five-card draw.

Deuces,
one-eyed jacks

are wild.

Don't much care
for wild cards.

Dealer's choice.

I'll stay with what I got.

Bet you five.

See your five...

raise you 20.

Let me see.

No pay, no peek.

Well, now, I'd like to see
that room in back.

We ain't
finished here.

Somebody wins big,
he ought to give folks

a fair chance
to win some back.

Or lose a lot more.

Whoa.

Here.

Wait for me
at the livery.

He's going
to need stitches.

I can do that.

Excuse me, ma'am.

I haven't had the pleasure.

Dr. Quinn.

Medical doctor?

That's correct.

You a doctor?

Aw, Jake's been
patching folks up for years.

But you're a barber.

That's right.

With all due respect,
I believe I'd like

Dr. Quinn to do the stitching.

I'll need you to hold very still now.

Hank said the man was cheating.

Hank's a poor loser.

Come in.

I asked Dr. Mike
to stop in.

She's done some fine sewing
with her people back east.

I brought some pieces
I've been saving for...

for something special.

We already got
eight people here.

Olive, you've always said

that a new pair of hands
is like a new line of harmony.

That's true.

But sometimes new things
just don't sit right.

Excuse me, but I...

I don't get your meaning.

Like this vaccine business.

Before you came,
we got along fine without it.

I merely want to help.

But you act like

you got the answer
to every question.

I don't mean to...

give that impression.

My favorite aunt,
the one I'm named for

Olive Jean, she died
from bad vaccine.

I'm terribly sorry.

But believe me,

that's a very
rare occurrence.

She wasn't your aunt.

But I've seen this vaccine
save people.

Whole families
from terrible suffering.

I've had the vaccine myself.

I've even given it
to my children.

That's your choice.

Well, I'll leave these here.

Perhaps you'll find use for them
sometime.

I'm sorry they spoke to you like that.

I think you're right
about these vaccinations.

You're doing
a wise thing.

Don't say nothing
to the others.

Of course not.

Now, who's going
to be first?

What is it?

Nothing.
Just a belly ache.

Liam, now you set
an example.

I'm just going
to roll up your sleeve.

It's just going
to feel like, um, like a little scrape.

Ow.
There, it's over.

Becky, you're next.

I don't want to.

How long have you had
this pain?

I must have ate some peaches
that must have turned.

No, I'm scared!

Anyone else
in your family sick?

No, I'm the only one
that ate them.

Wait, wait!
No! Wait, please!

Becky, be brave.
Don't be afraid.

Look at your brother.
He's fine.

If you're not better
tomorrow

I want to see you.

No, no, no!
You're going to hurt me!

There, it's over.

Oh!

It's over.
It's over.

Wire come in?

Not yet.

Morning, Dr. Mike.

Morning, Horace.

Dr. Quinn.

How's your head feel?

Much better, ma'am.

Any dizziness, nausea?

No, ma'am.

This just came for you.

Some outfit
from Chicago.

Oh, good.

Please, don't mention this.

It's a surprise
for the social.

What's the occasion?

Founder's Day.

We're raising money
to put up a school.

Tall order.

You bet. $500.

We'll make it.

Let me help you, ma'am.

Oh, thank you.

So you're from Chicago,
Dr. Quinn?

No.

I didn't think so.

Oh? Where then?

Boston, I figure.

How did you guess?

You got the manners
of a real civilized city woman.

And what else
have you observed?

There's some folks
that have given you

a pretty rough time
around here.

Some people are slow
to embrace new ideas.

Well, now in San Francisco,

we're a little more
broad-minded.

Ma, load up the wagon.

That's a fine-looking horse
you got there, mister.

Thank you, sir.

Got a fine temper, too.

My sister would take
a fancy to him.

Would she?

Well, now, I been
waiting for word

on an important
business deal.

I find myself
temporarily short of funds.

I might sell him if
the price was right.

Looks to me like a challenge.

Not for a man.

Or for a woman
who has some authority.

Ah, we're short of cash.

I already got two horses.

What about you, sir?

Sully?

He doesn't need a horse.

He can't ride.

Any man's got two legs can ride.

Not Sully.

He's scared.

How much?

Look how it twirls.

Will you stand still?

What if no one
asks me to dance?

They'll all ask you.

Well, what if no one does?

Will you?

I'm busy here.

Please, you got
to learn some.

Will you hush?

Colleen, come over here.

You're losing all the pins.

Hello, Colleen.

Pa! Pa!

Pa, you came back!

I knew you would!

Brian!

Come here, boy!

Evening, ma'am.

This came all the way from China.

Thank you, Pa.

You're welcome, darling.

Matthew...

if you happen to have
a young lady,

this'd make
a mighty fine gift.

I don't.

Liar.

Hush up.

Well, I see you still
like to go fishing, Matthew.

How 'bout tomorrow
you and I go out

and try our luck,
huh?

I got something to do.

What about you,
young man?

What have I got
for you, huh?

You know what that is?

That's the backbone
from a dinosaur.

Picked it up in Wyoming
last fall.

You said
you were in San Francisco

last fall.

Did I?

I guess I'm just not very
much good at time, ma'am.

That's apparent.

Matthew,
look at this.

A real dinosaur.

What else have I...

Oh, yeah.

It's a ship.

My partner and I
bought an interest in it.

It's on the way
to China right now.

Going to be bringing back
silks and spices.

Going to sell them

to all the finest
stores in San Francisco.

I'm curious, Mr. Cooper.

What induced you to leave your
business and journey here?

I got word that their ma died.

And I'm very grateful
to you, ma'am,

for picking up my burden.

They're
no burden,

I can assure you,
Mr. Cooper.

Don't show him
you're scared.

He knows.

Make believe, Sully.

That's what I do.

Whoa...

Take him over to the rail.

Whoa, whoa...

Let loose
on the grip.

Forward, Sully.

Uh-oh.

When I move forward,
you move back, okay?

That a girl.

You know how
to dance, Matthew?

He doesn't.

You know,
all the young ladies

they love a man

who can dance with them.

Nobody's as good as you are, Pa.

When you come
to San Francisco with me

you are going to see
some mighty fine dancing.

Is that right?

What's this called?

It's called "baseball."

They play it in all
the big cities back east.

You just watch this.

Just keep your eye
on it, okay, Brian?

Okay, Pa.

Here we go.

Oh!

Whoa, that was a...
that was a home run.

What are you planting?

Foxglove.

What for?

They make digitalis
from the leaves.

It's for
heart problems.

Might want to space them
a little further apart.

Charlotte said you didn't
care much for farming.

I don't know about that.

We had a pretty
nice place in Topeka.

Broke her heart when you
sold it out from under her.

That's not the way
it happened.

Oh?

I had a dream.

I was going to open up
trade to the Orient.

Charlotte and I
struck a bargain.

We were going to farm
the farm for four years

and sell it
and move out west.

Then she changed her mind.
She wouldn't go.

So you took off
with her money sock.

Half of it was mine.

I left her
the other half.

She said
you took it all.

She might have exaggerated.

She was pretty angry.

I don't blame her.

Neither do I.

But I just had to go after
that dream right then

or I was scared
I never would.

Do you know what it feels like

when there's just something
that you've got to do

in spite of everybody?

Anything?

Yes.

But I also know what it's like
to lose a father.

I made a mistake, I know that.

And I can never
make it right with Charlotte,

but I want to with the kids.

Mr. Sully.

Where's
your horse?

I'm looking
for Dr. Mike.

Shh.

Good morning.

Brought a turkey
for you.

Thank you.

You must come back later
for supper

to share it
with us.

I don't think so.

Hey, Sully,
come on.

You got to eat with us.

I'll stop back later.

Go on, take
a swing at me.

Better than keeping
all that anger

bottled up
inside of you.

You're not worth
taking a swing at.

I know you had it hard.

What do you know?

What about Ma?

For a year, I watched her
wait for you.

Jumping every time
she heard a horse ride up.

I'm sorry.

Why'd you go?

Looking for answers.

Had to find my way.

Never even wrote.

I couldn't.

You too busy?

Don't know how to write.

Get on.

Or read.

Your ma always
helped me with that.

First time I've ever let on
to anyone about that.

Till now.

It's hard to believe.

Matthew, I can't undo
what's already done,

but I'm asking you,

give me
another chance.

Talk good.

You know, for better or
worse, you only get one pa.

We've got a claim
in Carson City,

once we raise the capital,

could bring us, uh,
nice profits.

Heard they shut down
mining there.

Well, you must
have heard wrong.

Mm, smells
good.

Mm.

Dr. Quinn, you continue
to surprise me.

Colleen cooked
the turkey.

Who would like to carve?

Well, it's
Mr. Sully's turkey.

You're the guest.

Fine, then.

Before we start,
let's all join hands.

Thank you, Lord,

for all these generous gifts.

And thank you for bringing
this family back together.

We'll never be
parted again.

Amen.

Amen.
Amen.

That mean you're staying?

I'm going to be taking you kids
back to San Francisco with me.

Pa, really?

Yahoo.

You betcha.

Nope.

When were you thinking
of setting off

for San Francisco,
Mr. Cooper?

We can't miss
the social, Pa.

I wouldn't dream of taking
you away before that.

Tell me about
my room again.

Well, it's got
a canopy bed.

Curtains with little
red roses on it.

And you look out
the window

you see the ocean.

I like seeing
the mountains.

Well, that's 'cause
you're used to 'em.

Most folks are scared

to leave what
they're used to.

Not me.

We'll be a real family.

You're coming with us,
aren't you, Dr. Mike?

'Course Ma's coming.

Lot of call for doctors
in San Francisco.

Lot of call here.

You never wanted
a horse.

This one came to me.

What you fear
will always come to you.

When I was young

I saw my brother

get his foot caught
in the stirrup...

get dragged to death.

You look this horse
in the eye

and you thank him.

I thank him?

For the gift
he's going to give you.

For the next days, you
do not leave this horse.

How do you like
your new horse?

Getting acquainted.

Where's Mr. Cooper?

He took the
children into town.

It's going to be
kind of quiet

around the homestead.

Can't imagine how I'll
bear it here without them.

Don't let him take 'em.

He's their father.

I think he gave up
that privilege.

He came back.

And for what purpose?

Didn't you ever make
a mistake

and wish you
could go back

to set things right?

Whoa, boy.

There's a lady
at the clinic who's real sick.

I said I'd come
and get you.

Yah, boy! Yah!

I'm afraid Harriet's gone.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

I'm taking her home.

She burst her appendix.

I missed it.

She told you
she ate bad peaches.

Stomach pains are
often a symptom.

I should have thought.

Well, I wouldn't blame
yourself, ma'am.

We often see
things clearer

once we're looking
backwards.

I'll have to tell
the family.

No point now.

Won't bring her back.

Ha!

Remember, the two-leggeds
and the four-leggeds

were made by the same creator.

We are relatives.

Come on!

Now the next item for bid
is this quilt.

Prettiest one
the circle ever made.

It sure is.

Now we're going
to start the bidding at $30.00.

Now do I hear $30.00?

$30.00.

$30.00.

All right, now, who's
going to make it $40.00?

$40.00 will take us
right on up to $500.00.

$35.00.

$35.00.

Now who's going
to give me $40.00?

Every lady that sewed
on this quilt

put a little bit
of her spirit into it.

Olive, Emily and...

and Harriet.

$40.00.

The last piece
Harriet ever sewed.

And it's yours.

Now the last item up
for bid is a prize bull

Olive Davis brought
with her from Mexico.

Let's start the bidding
at $100.00. $100.00.

Not in a celebrating mood?

Maybe he'll change
his mind about going.

No, it's Harriet.

She died
of a burst appendix.

I didn't see it.

Well, could you have saved her?

I... I just
don't know.

But I could have tried.

I haven't told Harriet's family
what she really died of.

Why not?

They already believe
I'm not competent.

How could they ever trust me?

Speaking the truth

is what makes people trust you.

Come on, son.

I can't.

Keep you eye on me
and do what I do.

That was so much fun.

You looked lovely.

Let's do another one.
Pick your special gal.

May I?

You've come a long way,
Mr. Cooper.

Ethan.

The children seem
very happy.

I'll miss them.

I've been thinking.

We might just settle here
for a while.

You might?

I've got something
to stay for now.

Come on, Pa, or all the food'll be gone.

Matthew's saving places.

All right.
Y'all run along.

I'll be along later.

I'm going to help
set up the fireworks.

Okay.
Come on, Colleen.

See you in a bit.

Don't be very long.

Stay.

Put it back, Ethan.

Here!

Good-bye, Mr. Sully.

Hold it!

Nice and quiet.

Ya!

What happened!

Where's Mr. Cooper gone?

He stole my horse
What?

And the school money, too.

No, you must be mistaken.

I got to borrow a horse.

Come on.

Yah, yah.

Oh!

Don't you move, Mr. Cooper.

I was planning
on repaying it.

I got a payment due.

I was planning
on repaying it.

We're going to lose our ship.

Stealing is one thing,

but how could do this
to your children?

I was gonna send for them.

You come riding
in with presents.

Filling their heads
with dreams of San Francisco.

Get them to open their hearts.

You're good at that.

You weren't even going
to say good-bye.

I wanted to.

I really care for you.

You're a liar.

I wish I were the kind
of father that my kids need.

Truth is, I'm just not up to it.

They're better off with you.

Give me the gun,
we'll take him... No!

Go ahead, shoot.

Turn him loose.

What?

Take the money
back to the church.

No one knows it's gone.

Oh, what are you thinking of?

The children.

I don't want them
to see their father

tried and sent to jail
like a common thief.

Better he just disappears.

True to his nature.

Aah, go on.

So, tell me,

how many times have you
sold this horse, Ethan,

and stolen it back?

Yah.

Your father had to leave
on urgent business.

He got a telegram
while you were at supper.

You mean
he's gone?

He had to set off right away
for San Francisco.

No.

He didn't have time
to say good-bye?

He asked me
to say it for him.

And...

he left a letter.

Uh...

why don't you read it?

"Dear children,

"I've learned
that our ship was lost

"in a storm in the Pacific.

"My partner, I fear,
is lost with it.

"I must leave straight off
for San Francisco

"to save what I can
of our business.

"I'm sorry...

"I can't take you with me.

"But I rest easier knowing
I'm leaving you in good hands.

"Please know that I love you.

"I always will.

Your Pa."

But is he going
to come back?

He did before.

I wouldn't count on that.

Can I see the letter?

I was getting used
to having Pa around.

You write good.

Why do you say that?

My pa can't write.

Dr. Mike always says
speak the truth.

In this case,
the truth would only hurt.

Read it again.

Matthew, please.

Go on.

"Dear children...

"I've learned that
our ship was lost

"in a storm
in the Pacific.

"My partner, I fear,
is lost with it.

"I must leave straight off

"for San Francisco

"to save what I can
of our business.

"I'm sorry I can't
take you with me.

"But I rest
easier knowing

I'm leaving you
in good hands."

I want to speak to you
about Harriet.

I wished to God

she hadn't eaten those peaches.

It wasn't the peaches.

She brought her children to me

for vaccinations
the week before she died.

I saw she was
in pain,

but she made light of it,

and I didn't examine her.

I should have, because...

her appendix
burst.

Appendix?

You mean, she needn't have died?

Well, I... I don't know.

It may have been too far along

for me or anyone
to help her, but...

if I'd seen it,

I could have tried.

I know I
sometimes act

like I have
all the answers.

Well, I don't.

I make mistakes.

And this is one...

that I must... learn from.

And live with.

I wanted to tell you the truth.

Hold on.

Please.

There's an empty seat here.
