The President regrets
not being here in person.

But he wishes for me
to convey his utmost gratitude

for your diligent efforts
in this selection process.

He knows these agents
will serve his peace plan

and help the original occupants
of this land

become citizens
of the United States.

President Grant therefore

approves all your nominations
of Indian agents...

- Yeah.
- That's good.

...with the exception of, uh,
a few names listed here.

What do you mean, "exceptions"?

Well, need I remind
the senator that President Grant

is the commander in chief
of the Army

and these nominees
are members of the Army?

The President has other military
assignments in mind for them.

We thank the President
for his generous counsel.

We'll come up with other names.
We're adjourned.

I see his point.

May I see that list?

Of course.

Avelson, Andrews, Billingsly.

Here it is --
Captain S. Burgoyne.

That's him.

There are many names on there.

And that makes some people
very unhappy.

Well, I'm not one of them.

Where can we find the President?

I want to thank him
for his help.

He's in his office.

I will say goodbye now.

I start for home tonight.

Something wrong?

Spirits say it is time.

I cannot change what is coming.

But this list
proves we can do something.

What will happen
when the President

does not stand with you?

What will happen
when he is gone?

I will stand alone.

They may let you
wear that uniform

and speak in their counsel,

but I see how they look at you.

You'll always be
an Indian to them.

And if you want to survive,

you will have to find some way
to live in their world.

I've seen their world.

I do not want to live in it.

I do not want
their civilization.

Sully.

Settlin' up my bill.

Would you total mine up,
too, please?

I had a long talk
with the children.

I'm going to withdraw
my nomination.

You don't have
to turn it down 'cause of me.

You're exactly who I'm
turning it down for, Sully --

and Matthew and Brian
and Colleen.

I've seen enough.

I want to go home.

We've done what we came to do.

Hey, look!

Soldiers.

What's going on?

Excuse me, sir,
but is your last name Sully?

Yes.

What is going on?

Is this your signature,
Lieutenant?

Lieutenant?

Yes.

I have a warrant
for your arrest

- issued by the Department of War.
- Arrest?

What for?

Desertion
from the United States Army.

Oh,
but there must be some mistake.

Sully wasn't in the Army!

- Sully, no!
- What's going on?

- Sully!
- You can't do this!

Sully!

Sully.

Michaela.

Sully,
what have they done to you?

I'm gonna get you out of here.

They've obviously made
a mistake.

Michaela...

I'll get you an attorney.

No.

Why not?
Wh-- What do you want me to do?

I want you to take
the children,

and I want you
to leave Washington.

Leave?

Well, I won't do that.
I'm staying here

until they understand
they've got the wrong man.

They got the right man.

I was in the Army,
and I deserted.

After Abigail died
I headed east and signed up.

I thought I'd lose myself
in the war.

Why did you lie to me?

'Cause I wasn't proud
of what I did.

I wanted to forget about it.

So I went back to Colorado,

and I started my life
again with the Cheyenne.

What do you mean,
you let her in?

Excuse me, ma'am.

This prisoner
is to have no visitors

- until he's been questioned.
- And when will that be?

I don't know, ma'am,
but you have to be leaving now.

- Let go of her!
- I'm coming back.

Michaela!

I love you, Michaela.

Sully, I'll get you out.

Sully, I love you!

Senator, are you all right?

Oh, yes.

I was just resting.

Thank you for coming to my aid
the other night.

You saved my life.

Perhaps you could save a life
for me.

Senator?
Senator, please.

I need to speak to someone
in the War Department,

and I don't know
who that would be.

You see, uh,
Byron Sully's been arrested.

- Yes, I know.
- You do?

And I know why.

That heart attack
gave me quite a scare.

Maybe that's why I want you
to know the truth.

You tell Sully
that his assignment in Georgia

during the war
was not for the Army.

It was for the same men
who don't want

the Indians to delay
the completion of the railroad.

How do you know this?

Because I was once
one of them, and I know.

They won't stand for anyone
getting in their way --

not me, not you,
not even the President.

Senator Moses.

We are waiting on you, sir.

Yes.
I'll be right there.

Uh, Dr. Quinn was just inquiring
after my heart.

I feel much better now.

Thank you.

If anyone asks,
I didn't arrange for this,

and you were never here.

I don't know
how much time we have.

Sully, you have to tell me
what happened in Georgia.

Doesn't matter.

Does it matter
that it wasn't for the Army?

Senator Moses said it had
nothing to do with the war.

I know that.

You do?

And if Senator Moses
knows that, then he...

he knows who set me up.

You got to get him to come here.
I got to talk to him.

Excuse me. Excuse me.
What's wrong?

Something's happened
to Senator Moses.

Please, let me in.
I'm a doctor.

Did anyone see what happened?

We found him like this.

Excuse me.

Oh, my God. Moses.

Dr. Sanderson, help him.

What are you doing here?

I came to speak
with the senator.

He's dead.

He's been poisoned.

What?

What makes you say that?

The pink color of his skin,
the smell on his glass.

It's cyanide.

That's ridiculous.

Dr. Sanderson,
do you agree with that?

Good heavens, no.

This man died of a heart attack.

Any competent physician
could see that.

I'm shocked by your wild
accusations, Dr. Quinn.

You yourself treated
Senator Moses

for his heart condition,
did you not?

- Yes, I did.
- Poisoned.

- Indeed.
- No!

Don't!

Please, clear the room.

- Have some respect for the dead.
- He's right.

Please, everyone leave us.

Everyone.

Why won't Sully
tell you what happened?

I don't know.

It's as if
he doesn't want any help.

Well, I can't believe that.

I want to see him, Ma.

I'll go back
to the War Department tomorrow.

I'll find General Parker.

He has to help us.

Do you really think
Senator Moses was poisoned?

I'm positive.
When I was an intern,

I saw factory workers
poisoned by mercury cyanide.

They looked just like that.

I'm worried.

What if they try to do something
to you?

It's Sully
we should be worried about.

What could he have done that
would be so terrible that...

that he can't even bring
himself to talk about it?

Maybe he thinks it's somethin'
you can't forgive.

Excuse me.
I need to see General Parker.

Do you have an appointment,
ma'am?

No, but I know he'll see me.

It's important.

I'm sorry, ma'am.
These gentlemen

have been waiting to see
General Parker all morning.

- You'll have to get in line.
- Please?

It's about Byron Sully.

Nothing he could do now,
ma'am.

Lieutenant Sully is gonna
be court-martialed tomorrow.

So, the defense
has nothing further to offer?

No, sir. We don't.

Stand up.

Second Lieutenant Byron Sully,

this general court-martial
finds you guilty of desertion.

What's goin' on, Ma?

Second Lieutenant Byron Sully,

Second Regiment
of U.S. Artillery,

you are hereby stripped
of all rank and privileges

as an officer
of the Army of the Potomac.

You are sentenced to be shot
to death by a firing squad

- at dawn tomorrow morning.
- No!

- Sully!
- Don't let them do this to you!

- Sully!
- Sully!

Sully, I swear
I'll get you out of there!

Sully!

What are we gonna do?

You're gonna go back
to the hotel.

I'm gonna find some way
to see President Grant.

But you said the guards
won't let you in.

Well, then,
I'll shout and throw stones

at his bedroom window.

He's gonna hear
what I have to say.

- I'm going with you.
- No, you can't.

I might get arrested,
and if that happens,

someone has to look
after Brian and Colleen.

You don't have
to get arrested, Ma.

I can get you
into the President's office.

Sure, you can.

There's a secret passage.

Brian, this isn't the time
to be making up things.

I'm not makin' things up!

Jesse showed it to me.

But there is a little problem.

What is it?

First, we have
to get through the gates.

Hyah! Hyah!

Excuse me.
Excuse me.

Would you like to buy
an apple, sir?

Oh, no, thank you, Miss.

They're very good, sir.

Uh, try one.
Oh, no.

I-I'm sorry.

Thank you.
Uh, here.

You can --
You can have all of them.

Thank you.

You got to promise
you won't tell anyone.

Brian, open the door.

- Hey, Mr. President.
- Hmm?

- Come on, Ma.
- I'm stuck.

Need a hand, Dr. Quinn?

Yes, thank you.

I see Jesse showed you
his secret room, hmm?

- You know about it, too?
- Oh, yes.

And so did Todd Lincoln

and a few other children
who lived here.

But, uh, you're the first woman

to ever enter my office
this way.

I'm sorry to resort to this,

but I had to speak with you.

Brian,
why don't you go see Jesse?

He's in his room.
Hmm?

May I, Ma?

Now, I know why you're here,
Dr. Quinn,

and there's nothing I can do.

Mr. President, I know this man.

He's honest and just and loving.

And if he deserted,
he had a good reason.

This is not about good reasons.

This is about military law.

But, Mr. President,
even Lincoln

wouldn't allow soldiers
to be shot to prove a point.

Dr. Quinn, listen to me.

If I make exceptions, the Army
won't respect my command.

Without that respect,
the peace plan is doomed.

Do you understand?

I understand...

that the man I love,
I was going to marry,

is scheduled
to be executed at dawn.

I understand that you're the
only human being in this world

that can prevent that.

I'm begging you
to save his life.

I'll commute his sentence
to life in prison.

- Thank you.
- But I want you and your family

out of Washington
by tomorrow night.

It's for your own good.

Please, I have to see him
before I go.

All right.
I'll arrange for it.

But just you -- alone.

Life in prison?

But at least you'll be alive.

As long as you're alive,
I have a chance to get you out.

How? Look around.

I can't escape.

Next day or two,

they're gonna be transferring me
to another prison.

Once I'm there,
I'm never comin' out.

There must be
something we can do.

Sully, please...

you have
to tell me what happened.

I'll go back to the President.

I'll go to General Parker.

I'll go to Congress.

Somehow, I swear
I'll get you out of here...

if it takes everything
that I own.

But I have to know
what happened to you.

I enlisted in St. Louis.

When they found out
what a good shot I was,

they made me a sniper.

My first target
was a Confederate major.

They told me that he was working

on some new kind
of explosive shell

at a test site in Georgia.

The War Department
said that if I killed him,

they'd never get it made

and that it would turn
the course of the war.

A lot of lives would be saved.

Every morning, the major
would shave outside his tent.

I waited three days
to get a clear shot.

Then finally, it was.

No!

No! No.

No.
Please, God, no.

I felt so guilty
about what I'd done.

I wanted to find out everything
I could about the man

I'd killed.

First thing I found out

was that the major
wasn't who they said he was.

He was a businessman.

He'd been given a number
of war contracts,

and with him dead,

the contracts and a lot
of the money went to his rival.

I'm guessin'
that rival's name was Moses.

If I find out
who poisoned Moses...

You'll find out
who put me here.

Time's up.

- I love you.
- I love you.

So, you still believe
there's some sort

of conspiracy
to kill the President?

Yes.

With the President gone,
so is his peace plan.

I find this all a bit
far-fetched, Dr. Quinn.

Someone poisoned
Senator Moses.

Someone framed Sully.

And -- And you already know
what my son overheard.

Even if these events
were true,

I fail to see the connection.

Well, the connection
has to be money.

Whoever's behind this
is not interested

in helping the Indians,
but in getting rid of them

the quickest way they can so
they can complete the railroad.

Do you have any proof at all?

- No.
- No.

There is one thing.

What?

We could search
the war records.

Whoever signed Sully's orders

to assassinate
that Confederate major

had to have been involved
with Senator Moses.

Can you get me
into the War Department?

Now, before you two
go stirring things up,

let me first
do some investigating.

I mean,
if there is something going on,

I don't want to tip our hand.

Hyah. Come on.

Did you know that
the Secretary of the Interior

wanted to put black people on
reservations in the Deep South?

No.

The President
had to inform Secretary Cox

that the Department
of the Interior

is not one of the branches
of the government.

Thank God
he's gonna fire him soon.

Is Sully still going to be
transferred this evening?

Yes.
We have until midnight.

Do you think the President
will believe us?

I'm not certain
I believe anything's going on.

What's going on?
Where are you going?!

Get down!

- You all right?
- Yes.

You've been hit.

It's all right.

Let's get out
before they come back.

General Parker will see to it
you get to the right train.

It departs at 9:00.

We're not gonna leave you here.

Matthew, I need you
to take everyone home

and wait there
until this is all over.

What are you gonna do?

Can't you go to the police
about this?

- Somebody tried to kill you.
- No.

Unfortunately,
we can't trust anyone.

And that's
why it's far too dangerous

for you to stay in Washington.

Well, if it's that dangerous,
then you have to come with us.

We're not leaving without you.

You stay, we stay.

I'm not gonna
argue with you anymore.

You're going to get
on that train,

and you're going to go home.
Do you hear me?

You're going.

- Who is it?
- Parker.

- They all packed?
- Yes.

Gather your things.

Everything's arranged.

- How's the bandage?
- Oh, it's fine.

You're not a bad doctor.

And you're not a bad general.

Here's a letter for Dorothy.

Give it to her
when you get back.

Ma...

Everything's gonna
be all right.

Sully and I will be back
no time at all.

We have to go.

I love you all so much.

Will you tell Sully
we love him, too?

Yes, I will.

Now go. Go.

- You're early.
- Well, you don't think

I want to be out
any longer than I have to be

on a night like this.

Listen,
I need you to sign the ledger,

and I need to see
the transfer orders.

Uh-huh.
I, uh, left them under the seat.

I'll get them.

Go! Go!

Hyah!

The prisoner's escaping!
Fire!

Sergeant at Arms,
the prisoner's escaped.

Fire at will!
Fire at will!

And I told him that,
uh, you wanted to talk to him.

He said he'd meet you
at the records office at 6:00.

If you need anything else,
ma'am, I'll be outside.

Parker said he'd meet us at
the war records office at 6:00.

Thanks.

Grant stood up to them.

That's the reason
why they want to kill him.

His peace plan's
the only thing keepin' them

from declarin'
an all-out war on the Indians.

That's
what General Sherman wants.

He'd like to turn Custer
loose again.

Instead, he's gonna turn loose
a bunch of bad agents,

stir up the Indians, and...

And then the Army'll have
to come in to settle things.

That's right.

Hey, Lady Doctor.
Soldiers comin'.

Don't stop running
till I tell you.

Come on!
Come back here!

- Out of the way.
- Get out of the way.

There they are!
There they are!

Here! Come back!

Down that way!

In here! Hurry!

Here.

Nothin' there, sir!

- Down, boy.
- Gather up the men!

We're heading north.
Let's go.

- Move out.
- You took a great risk.

- Thank you.
- You helped my baby.

I'll get you whatever you need.

Could you get him some clothes?

Matthew, what are you doin'?

I think Dr. Mike's in trouble.

What kind of trouble?

What kind of trouble
does she usually get into?

- I'm gonna open this.
- No.

It's addressed to Miss Dorothy.

Brian...what if there's
somethin' in this letter

that we ought to know?

But Ma said --

Brian, what if Ma
is in some kind of trouble

and what's in that letter
could save her life?

Open it.

What's it say?

Um...

it just says somethin' about
how she loves us all very much.

We're gonna trade our tickets in
at the next station.

We're going back to Washington.

There's a concert
at the White House tonight.

They'll have extra security.

They'll search everyone.

I think the President
will be safe until we get there.

How can you be sure?

Well, the police patrol
everything within the block.

Nobody could get close enough
to shoot him from the grounds.

- What about from farther away?
- No.

The nearest building
is the Treasury.

You'd have to be an awfully good
shot to hit anything from there.

Like a sniper.

"June 20, 1863,

Lieutenant Byron Sully is hereby
ordered to report to..."

Signed Colonel George Steward,
Army of the Potomac.

Let me see.

What's the name?

General Parker.

Just a minute, sir.

You're not on the guest list,

and everybody's been lookin'
for you.

Yes, we have.

One of the prison guards
said that the man

who helped Lieutenant Sully
escape looked a lot like you.

Hmm.
Very interesting, Detective.

But if you'll excuse me,

I'm here to see President Grant
on most urgent business.

I don't think
we'll disturb the President

till after the concert.

You're under arrest.

It's over here.

Quick.

Sully.

Bravo.

Go!

Oh, my God!

Sully!

Get back!
Please step away!

Yes. Yes, sir.

- I will.
- The sniper got away.

We searched the roof,
found nothing.

But we have General Parker
under arrest.

President Grant,
you have to listen to me.

No!
Don't take that.

Mr. President, you have
to see that paper, please.

What is it?

I believe that Senator Steward
and Detective Simpson

are part of a conspiracy
to kill you.

This woman is insane!

Get her out of here.

Wait.

Let me see the paper.

It's nothing, Mr. President.

- You all right?
- Yes. Are you all right?

Lucky I got a hard head.

Told you
politics is a dirty business.

So, Dr. Quinn,

you believe there's some sort
of conspiracy going on here?

Yes, Mr. President.

It's hardly coincidence that
Mr. Byron Sully is arrested,

tried, convicted,
and sentenced to death,

and Senator Moses was poisoned.

Senator Moses
had a heart attack.

Even his own personal physician
said so.

General Parker and I
were attacked by gunmen.

You and General Parker
committed a felony prison break.

And General Parker was wounded
by soldiers,

not your nonexistent assassins.

My son overheard a threat
to your life,

and Senator Steward admits
to being in your office when --

Senator Steward
had left the room.

Anyone could have
come in after that.

- Mr. President...
- Mr. President...

- Quiet!
- This woman...

I'd like you
to arrest Senator Steward.

You can't believe her story.
Mr. President.

What I do believe
is that this man,

with a price on his head,

took the risk to come back here
and save my life.

Well, that counts for something.
Take him away.

Oh, and, uh,
while you're at it,

arrest Detective Simpson, too.

I can't believe it.

Now the rest of you go on home.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, of course, Mr. President.

Thank you, Mr. Sully.

I owe you my life.

I wouldn't be able to do it
if Dr. Mike

hadn't broken me out of prison.

Oh, she did, didn't she?

Well, I'll see that you both
receive a full pardon

for all the charges against you.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Sully.

What are you doin' here?

These belong to you?

We, uh -- We got worried.

Came back.

Here's your letter.

You didn't read this, did you?

Well, I wanted to,
but they wouldn't let me.

All it says is that I...

I love you all very much.

- I want to thank you, Julia.
- Oh, please.

I only gave you
a room to stay in.

You gave me my husband's life.

Where on earth is Parker?

Uh, Ulysses...

I wanted to do everything
at the same time.

And now I don't know
what time he's getting here.

All right, all right.

Mr. Sully.

Well, what is it?

I'm making you an Indian agent
in the Colorado Territory.

Special appointment
signed by me.

I'd like to have one man
out there I can trust.

You want the job?

Well, I'd like time
to ask my family.

Well, you let me know.

Mr. President,
I'm sorry for the delay,

but I was trying
to confirm a rumor.

It seems that Senator Steward
hanged himself this morning.

I suppose there won't be
any investigation.

No trail to follow.

No loose ends.

Except for one.

I think you're entitled to these

and your honorable discharge
from the Army.

Parker.

This is yours, as well.

- Thank you, sir.
- Oh.

And, Brian,
don't you or your mother

ever tell anyone
about the secret passage, hmm?

We won't.

I wouldn't want
Congress to know about it.

After all,
I may need it someday.
