Whoa, whoa.

What do you think?

I love it.

Loren,
why is this hat so expensive?

Well, it's imported
from England.

Mrs. Bullock has had her eye
on it.

I think you should buy it.

Mr. Tait.

- Ladies.
- How's the railroad coming?

On schedule till now.

Has something happened?

Well, we've run out of rails
to lay.

Our supply car
didn't arrive this week,

and, uh, Peter and I are in town
to find out why.

Peter is with you?

Yeah, he's over
at the telegraph office.

Excuse me.

I know Peter
will be glad to see her.

I believe the feeling
is mutual.

I, uh,
I think you should buy it.

It'll never look
as good or Mrs. Bullock.

Oh, that's
a brand-new shipment, Grace,

just come in yesterday.

Here, Robert E.

I think you'll find
this in order.

Take some now
and some next week?

Do you like it?

Oh, it's beautiful on you.

Got my vote.

How much is this one?

Oh, that's 100% cashmere,
too much for you.

How much?

$20.

I don't know
why Dorothy ordered it.

Not a woman in town can afford
to buy it, not even Dr. Mike.

Grace.

So are you gonna buy the hat?

I have to think about this.

There you go.

I picked up a couple of 'em,
you need?

Dr. Quinn, hello.

Hello, Peter.
Did Colleen find you?

Yes, we're going
to see each other after school.

What'd you find out?

Nothing good.

A mule broke down?

Well, if it's a mule
you're after,

I'm sure Robert E.
has one for sale at the livery.

It's not that kind
of mule, Dr. Quinn.

This mule's a steam engine

that we use to transport
our supplies to the work site.

The boiler's pipes are leaking,
have to be replaced.

Will they take it back
to Denver for repairs?

Well, if they do, that
could take a month, maybe two.

By then the snow will be so deep

that we wouldn't be able
to continue work.

That would shut us down
until spring.

I wonder if Robert E
could repair it.

I've been working metal
since I was 10.

I had my own place
for five years now.

You have any experience in
repiping train boilers, Mr. E.?

Oh, just Robert E.,
and no, sir, not exactly.

I'm sorry,
this isn't gonna work.

Wire the home office.

Ask them to send a repair
authorization to Denver.

But it will take a month

before the foundry
can get to it.

Mr. Tait, whatever it is,
I'm sure he can do it.

Why, Robert E.
has fixed everything

from plows to cameras.

Dr. Quinn, when a steam boiler

fairs because it's not repaired
properly, it blows up.

People have gotten killed.

He does good work.

He -- He's got the tools
to do the job.

If he could fix the boiler here,
instead of in Denver,

we could stay on schedule.

You can do it.
Can't you, Robert E.?

Can you?

Yeah, I believe so.

Of course he can.

Two conditions -- The first,

you have two weeks
to complete the work.

If it's not done by then,
the deal's off,

and I send it back to Denver.

- And the second?
- Peter assists you.

I want him to know everything
about the railway,

including how to fix a boiler.

Deal.

You haven't set the price yet.

Well,
how much would you charge?

Um...

The same
as it would cost in Denver?

All right,

I'll pay 10% up front
and the rest on completion.

Let's go, Peter.

Let's send that telegram.

Dr. Quinn, Robert E.

There's $50 here.

- That means...
- He's paying me $500.

For a mule.

So, what do you think?

I don't know.

Looks to me like an awful lot
of work for two men.

Sure does,
cutting out all these old pipes

and putting these new ones
back in again.

Well, Robert E., either you
can do it or you can't.

I have to know now.

You could always
hire some help.

Well, not many folks
feel comfortable working for me.

I would.

Thanks, Matthew,
but I need more than one man.

What about the Changs?

They were only hired to help
us transport the boiler.

They are here
if you wish to use them.

You work for me?

Don't they speak English?

No, but --
but I can translate for you.

Well --
well, then, I guess we, uh,

better get started if we're
gonna make this deadline.

I sure hope you
don't let us down, Robert E.

You know how important
the train is to this town.

Let's push it in here.

Congratulations.

I'm going huntin'.
I'll be gone for a few days.

Just want to wish you good luck.

I think I'm gonna need it.

Don't worry, Grace.

Robert E. can fix anything.

All right, just
have them continue to pound.

Grace sent over some food.

Hey, Robert E.

Robert E., lunch is here.

All right.

All right.

Let's stop now.

Peter, there's enough
for everyone.

They thank you,
but they prefer their own food.

However, I would be most
happy to accept.

Excuse me.

Would you like to try some tea?

Sure.

Please, help yourself.

You might try it with milk,
as the English do.

Thank you.

- Milk?
- No.

No, Colleen.
Doesn't agree with my stomach.

I'll take some of that,
Colleen, in my tea.

Thanks.

Do you want the rest of this?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Very good.

Peter.

What?

Your lip.

Oh, forgive me.

That's all right.
I'm used to it.

I mean, Brian
practically wears his meals.

I've thought of you often

and wondered
what you might be doing.

You did?

Do you still have the earth
from China I gave you?

Of course.

I keep it right
next to the silver comb

and brush my grandma gave me.

I was afraid that after time,

you might come
to see it as only dirt.

Oh, no.
You gave it to me.

- No, thanks.
- Thank you.

What are these?

They're biscuits.

They were sent from New York.

The Changs have a cousin
who works for a bakery.

We're laying rails
through this area now.

Will it be done in time
to bring

grandma here for the wedding?

If Robert E. can be finished
in two weeks.

And I'm sure he will be.

I'm going to Denver tomorrow.

I'm leaving Peter behind to keep
an eye on things, just in case.

We've all got a lot
riding on this.

Anything goes wrong,
I want to know about it.

I'm sure
there will be no problems.

Robert E. is a good craftsman.

I sure hope so.

What do you mean?

Well, he's got
to test the boiler himself.

Test it?

Well, a man's got to be
willing to stand by his work.

How does he do that?

Well, the boiler's designed
to run at a steam pressure

of 100 pounds per square inch.

You heat her up to 150,
and if she holds, he gets paid.

And if she don't...

Well, you won't want
to be anywhere near it.

Your dinner's ready.

I'm gonna work
a little longer.

Well, how much longer?

Some things won't keep.

I want to get
one more pipe out tonight,

and then I got some work
to do for Loren.

- For Loren?
- Yeah,

I still got my regular customers
wantin' things done.

Why are you taking on
extra work

when you already
got your hands full?

It's something
I already promised.

Well, maybe you shouldn't be
promising some things

without us discussing it first.

Oh, you want to discuss
the buggy wheel

I'm fixing for Loren?

No.

What's on your mind, Grace?

Just maybe we should have,

uh, talked this whole job thing
over before you took it on.

It all happened so fast.

Mr. Tait
was talking about his problems,

and then Dr. Mike
said I could fix it,

and pretty soon I --
I was believing I could.

Can you?

You don't think I can do it.

- Is that what you think?
- Oh, Robert E.

Well if -- if it is,

it's a little late
to be saying something.

Oh, I believe
that you can fix it,

and I also believe
that there's such a thing

as bitin'
off more than you can chew.

Look, I want to be able
to have something

for this family,
be able to afford something.

I do too,
but, Robert E., those folks

will blame you if that railroad
is delayed in coming.

Look, I'm going
to have it fixed in time.

- Oh, Robert E.
- Look, Grace.

Grace, chances like this
don't come along often.

Who knows what it'll lead to?

Maybe...Maybe a -- a contract
with Denver and Rio Grande.

And maybe you could get hurt.

If I quit now,
they'll say I couldn't do it,

that I wasn't smart enough.

I got a right to have a better
life for myself, don't I?

Hmm?

Yes, you do...

...but you got to make sure
you -- you choose the --

the right time and place to try.

Promise me
you'll be extra careful.

I will.

I don't want to lose you.

Rosemary, Helen, wait up.

I'll ask them now.

I'm sure they won't mind.

Matthew, would you
mind taking the boxes

- in before you go to work?
- Sure.

- I will help you.
- Good morning, Grace.

Morning.

Grace, will you speak with me?

I'd learned
that there are serious risks

involved with the repair
of that boiler.

Had I known, I would never
have been so insistent

that Robert E. take the job.

I'm certain
that if I speak with Mr. Tait,

he'd understand why Robert E.
might want to quit.

If he quits now, they'll say
that, uh, he couldn't do it,

wasn't smart enough.

Robert E.'s gonna see this
through, no matter what happens.

See you tonight.

You go ahead and get
the supplies from Mr. Bray.

- I will catch up.
- All right.

No.

Come on.

So, what may I bring
to eat for the picnic?

There isn't gonna
be any picnic.

You are expecting rain?

I was expecting
better friends.

They do not want me to come.

We'll just have
our own picnic.

Please, I understand.

If you would rather be
with your friends...

I'd rather be with you.

Nice family.

How long has it been?

Nearly two years

since he has seen
his wife and children.

All right,
let's get back to work.

Dr. Mike?

Yes.

Do you want these here?

Yes, right
where they've always gone.

Something bothering you,
Colleen?

No.

It's just...

...well, I was wondering,
you like Peter, don't you?

Yes, I do.
What about you?

I really like spending time
with him.

He's so easy to talk to.

There's not many boys like that.

No, there aren't.

My friends think he's strange.

Do you?

No, he's
from a different culture.

That's one of the things
I like about him.

Me too.

Dr. Mike.

What happened?

Finished eating lunch,
went back to work.

Pretty soon he passed out
and started shaking.

What did he eat?

Same things I did.

- Do you feel all right?
- Yeah.

I want you all
to wait outside.

Colleen and I
will look after him.

Come on.
Let's go on back to work.

Nothing we can do now.

Come on.

Robert E., don't you want
to wait, see how he is?

What I want to do
is go back to work.

Now, we got a lot of work to do.

Now we're short one man.

Look, he'll be all right.

He's in good hands.

Come on.

Oh, Robert E., just the man
I've been looking for.

Now, about your bill.

- What about it?
- You said you'd pay me later.

Well, it's later.

You said you'd credit me for
the repairs I did on your wagon.

I would, but the repairs
you made didn't stand up.

They broke.

I -- I had to pay another fella
to fix that wheel

when I got stranded
in Soda Springs.

And I would have fixed
it again.

Should have fixed it right
the first time.

I'll pay you the rest
when I get paid.

When's that gonna be?

When I finish with the boiler.

How am I gonna get paid
if something happens to you?

It won't.

I see where one
of your Chinamen took ill.

How are you ever going
to make your deadline?

Don't worry, Loren.
You'll get your money.

Dr. Quinn.

- How's Quong?
- Better.

Convulsions have stopped,
and he's conscious.

And he can go back to work?

Until I know what's wrong
with him, I don't think

that's a good idea,
not for him or for any of you.

What do you mean?

- I mean it may be contagious.
- But you don't know.

No, I don't know.

Peter, go tell him
that if he doesn't get up

and go back to work right now,

I'm gonna have to replace him.

Robert E.,
Quong is much improved,

but he's still very weak.
Please don't do this.

Look,
I can't do anything else.

Go on.
Go on.

But he --
he could have a relapse.

Look, if I don't deliver
on time, I don't get paid,

and neither does anybody else.

Hey, I didn't call no breaks.

Hey, get on back to work.

Go on.

Don't you understand
how important this is to me?

I know it's important you
succeed at making the repairs

on time, but is that any reason

to mistreat the men
that are working for you?

Just plain hard work,
Dr. Mike.

Maybe something
you don't know about.

- Robert E.
- I worked hard for everything

that I have, just like you
and -- and anyone else.

Yeah, our lives
are so different

you can't begin to understand.

So don't go telling me
you're just like me.

You don't even know who I am.

Perhaps you're right.

Perhaps I don't know you as well
as I thought I did.

Well, you're the one
that got me into this.

- I'm sorry I did.
- Let's get back to work.

Not me.

You quittin'?

I'm sorry, Robert E.

I don't want to work for you
anymore,

not if you're going
to treat people like this.

Peter.

Whatever it is,
now they both have it.

Take him to the clinic.

- You too, Robert E.
- I ain't sick.

But it could be contagious.

Don't matter.

Getting sick is the least
of my problems.

Open up, Dr. Mike.

Shh.

What is it, Loren?

If there's some kind
of Chinese plague

going on around here,
you ought to tell us what it is.

Well, there is no such thing
as a Chinese plague.

Then what's wrong
with those two Chinamen

been working with Robert E.
the past week?

I haven't determined that yet.

Well, how do we know
it ain't catching?

Well, Peter doesn't have it,

neither does Matthew
or Robert E.

It doesn't appear
to be contagious.

It doesn't appear to be.

Well, the three of them
don't have a fever.

They don't have swollen glands,
and...

Oh, we don't care
what they don't have.

We want to know
what they do have.

So do I, Loren,

and as soon as I find out,
I'll let you know.

Excuse me.

I just thought you should know

that I don't believe
you're contagious.

How are Quong and Lee?

Not very well.

Where does Lee keep his things?

Over there in the basket.

He wanted this picture
of his family.

I will take it to him.

Robert E...

I'm sorry.

I have to say that I
do feel responsible for --

for what you're
going through right now.

Well, you're not.
I'm the one took on the job.

But is it really
worth the risk?

You don't think I can do it.

I -- I don't see
how anyone could do it,

with only you and Peter left.

Mr. Tait will be here
in four days.

I'll be ready for him.

Morning, Peter.

Oh, hello, Mr. Sully.

I just got back in town,

and I heard you've
been having some problems.

Yes.
I was going to notify Mr. Tait,

we may not make the deadline.

Well, a couple days won't make
much of a difference, will it?

I beg your pardon?

Well,
if Robert E. don't finish,

you're going to be
shipping it to Denver anyways.

So why send bad news
early if you don't have to?

Who knows?
Maybe, uh,

Robert E.'s luck will change,

and Chinese know about luck,
don't they?

Yes, Mr. Sully, we do.

Excuse me.
I -- I must get back to work.

Grace sent over some food.

Just leave it.
We'll eat it later.

It'll be cold by then.

I'll work faster
on a full stomach.

All right,
but just 10 minutes.

I brought you some more milk,
since you liked it so much.

Thank you.

Ma says the Chang brothers
are feeling better.

Perhaps our luck is changing.

Peter.

- What?
- You did it again.

Oh.

You believe in luck?

I feel lucky I met you.

Oh, here.

I thought maybe the Changs
might get some comfort

in holding the earth
you brought me from China.

You are very kind.

Will you go back to China
when your work is done here?

Only to find a wife.

Oh.

That is if I
could not find one here.

Oh.

But I would live
in this country,

perhaps in San Francisco.

Oh, I hear there's lots
of Chinese there.

I want to build a big house
on one of the hills

and have lots of children.

I want to have children, too,

that is after I
go to medical school.

You would like San Francisco.

I hope to see it some day.

I hope to see
you seeing it some day.

Thanks for the food.

Gonna work all night again?

Yes.

You -- you
want something more to eat?

No.

I love you, Robert E.

I love you
because you're stubborn...

...and you're honest...

...and you fight for
what you believe in.

But I -- I don't know
if I can be watching

when you fire that thing up.

I couldn't bear it
if something bad happened.

You're gonna hear
how it goes one way or another.

That's enough, Robert E.
That's enough.

There's something wrong,
Robert E.

Run for it.

Aah!

Sully?

How are Quong and Lee doing?

Better.

They're having some tea
and biscuits this morning,

but they're still weak.

It sounds like something
they ate.

Peter ate everything they did,

and Matthew ate
some of their food, too.

It has to be something else.

But what?

I don't know.
I haven't any idea what's wrong.

But if they're not better
tomorrow,

they can't help Robert E.,
and he's going to fail.

Michaela, you know how I
feel about the railroad coming.

Why does this have
to be about the railroad?

Why can't it just be
about helping a friend?

Dr. Mike.

- What happened?
- I do not know.

They were just having their tea
and biscuits.

- Did Matthew eat any of these?
- Yes.

I had some, too.

The tea.

With milk.

Matthew had tea,
but he had milk in it.

Urgent you advise at once,
signed Dr. Quinn,

and that's going
to the Wallkill Bakery,

Orange County, New York.

Please let me know the minute
you receive a reply, Horace.

It probably won't be
till tomorrow.

You think they were poisoned?

Yes, but I need to know
by what source.

If I treat them
for the wrong poison, well,

that could be worse.

Robert E.

I know I'm supposed
to have your new axes ready,

but I've been busy.

I can wait.

Thanks.

How's it going?

Well, I don't believe
I'm gonna make the deadline.

Maybe people were right.

Maybe I bit off
more than I could chew.

You got to stop listening to
what other folks say, Robert E.

You got to start
listening to yourself.

I can already hear the whistle
blowing, can't you?

Yes, I can.

Hey, uh, want some help?

Yes, I would.

Take the front.

Go.

Come in.

Got a reply.

213 people were poisoned in
New York and other cities.

With those biscuits?

The lead was in the flour
used to make the biscuits.

Someone put it in there?

By accident,
but more by ignorance.

The mill stones used to make
this flour had holes in it.

The workers filled the holes
with lead.

When the wheels wore down,

the lead was ground
into the flour,

and when it was baked
into the biscuits, the heat

and fermentation transformed it
into lead carbonate,

which is a deadly poison.

How come Peter
and I didn't get sick?

The milk you drank
coated your stomachs

and helped
to neutralize the poison.

Are they gonna be all right?

I've treated them with a
purgative and iodide potassium.

They should feel
better by tomorrow.

Let me know how much it costs.

I'll pay it.

I owe 'em that.
They work for me.

I'll take over now.
You can go to bed.

They've been
sleeping all right.

They must love their families
very much to come this far,

to work this hard.

The little boy's name
is Wan Lee.

Peter says he was born after
they left to come to America.

He's never seen his father.

He will.

We were lucky.

That's what Peter says.

He says our luck has changed.

I could never be this far away
from you and Brian and Matthew.

I hope we always
live in the same town.

With the railroad coming,
nothing's going to be that far.

Even a place like San Francisco

wouldn't be any trouble
to visit at all.

I suppose not.

I'd come visit you
all the time,

and you can come visit us.

Us?

Well,
when I get married some day.

I mean, if I were
to live somewhere else.

But that's a long way off.

Good night.

Good night.

What time did you say
he's coming?

Noon.

That gives us
about four hours.

Never gonna make it.

- I must be crazy to think I...
- Look.

Well, let's go to work.

Mr. Tait's here.
He's coming.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Well,
looks like you got it done.

Yes, sir.

Any problems?

Not a one.

Well, fire her up.

Run the boiler
at 150 pounds per square inch,

and keep it there
until I tell you to back off.

Mr. Tait...

I just want to thank you
for this opportunity.

If it wasn't for you
and all my friends here,

this wouldn't be happening.

Well, we all benefit
if you're successful, Robert E.

For your personal safety,
ladies and gentlemen,

I suggest you all back up.

All right.

She's up past 150.

Hold it there.

Hey, I'll take it from here.

Come on, go on.

Robert E., pull the rope.

Bleed her out.

You did it.
She's gonna hold.

Whoo.

Make her sing, son.
Make her sing.

Thank you.
Thank you.

I want to buy that shawl
for my wife.

Is it still for sale?

Yeah.
