It will be ready
to harvest in a few days.

Both fields came in
real strong.

More than we need.

You've done a good job,
especially for your first crop.

Mmm.
They're real sweet.

Well, perhaps someday,
I will find the taste sweet.

I know it ain't the same
as hunting,

but you could sell
the extra corn

and use it to buy things
you need, like some meat.

Buy meat?

Horace?

This what you been
waiting for?

Women's Medical College
of Pennsylvania --

ain't that the school
your ma went to?

Yes.

Colleen?

Is everything all right?

Did you get some bad news?

I didn't know medical school
was going to be so expensive.

Now, even if I get accepted,

I don't know
how I'm gonna pay for it.

Well, have you talked
to Michaela and Sully about it?

I'm sure they'd want to help.

It's too much money.
I couldn't ask them for that.

Hm.

Well, I know how you feel.

I got a couple of things
I want to do myself,

but I don't know
where I'm gonna get the money.

You don't want
to ask Loren to help?

I guess we both got
the same problem.

What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Some pecan pie, Mr. Roper?

I-I know how much
you liked my apple yesterday.

Well, how can I resist?

Mmm.

You keep serving me food like
this, Grace, I may never leave.

I know you didn't learn

how to bake pecan pie like this
in Colorado.

No, no.
I'm from New Orleans.

That's it.
I knew it.

Tasting this,

I can smell coffee beans
roasting on the Rue Toulouse.

I can hear the carriages
on the cobblestones.

Don't tell me
you're from New Orleans.

Well, I grew up in Chicago.

But I worked in New Orleans
as an assistant surveyor.

You know what a surveyor does,
Anthony?

Come 'round.

We plot out where to build
streets and buildings.

You build cities?

Yes.
We build cities.

We went to seminary together,
and we kept in touch.

And now he runs
the Indian school in Denver.

Hm, how nice.

Um, are you gonna finish
those potatoes?

Hm? Oh, no.

Please help yourself.

Let's see, now, the, uh,
children at his school need

to be inoculated.

But, well, the Denver doctors,

none of them wants
to immunize Indian children.

But he remembers me writing
about you.

Oh, that's impossible.

Um, on second thought,
I'd love a piece.

Well, he was hoping
that I might be able

to convince you to come with me
to Denver and help him out.

Now, I know
that it's an imposition.

Oh, not at all.
I'd be happy to help.

Although I'm not sure
about leaving the clinic.

Well, we'd only be
a short train ride away.

And we'd be back in a few days.

What could go wrong
in a few days?

Exactly.

Well, when do we leave?

Oh, thank you, Dr. Mike.

I hear there are several
good restaurants in Denver.

Well, we are gonna
need to eat.

I'm gonna show Mr. Curtis
the hot springs.

Maybe he could build a street
out to them.

If it's all right with you.

He's a good child.
You're a lucky man.

Come on.

Oh.

Excuse us.

No harm done, I suppose.

Could you inform me where
I could find Preston Lodge?

My, my.
Good old Andover.

And you were
a student there when?

I was a few years behind you.

There's no reason
for you to remember me.

But we all lived in the shadow
of the Preston Lodge legend.

Oh, my.

Thank you.

Well,
your prep school reputation

certainly has born up.

Here you are on the ground floor
of a frontier banking empire.

Well, "empire" may be
a bit too strong.

But, uh, enough about me.

What brings you out here,
Randolph?

Thank you.

Actually,
I'm just passing through.

I had a few minutes
while my train was in town.

I'm on my way to El Paso.

What's waiting for you
in El Paso, family, business?

A potential investor.

Oh, this is very impressive.
Hmm.

Is this leather Moroccan?

Well, yes.

What sort of business
are you in?

Oh, I'm emulating you.

Trying to get in
on the ground floor myself.

I'm financing
a venture back east.

You did not purchase
this walnut locally.

Oh, heavens, no.

It had to be brought in
from Boston.

Beautiful.

- What sort of venture?
- Hmm?

Oh!

Mass production.

It's the way of the future.

You know,
those who had the foresight

to invest in the telegraph
and the sewing machine,

they're millionaires now.

Indeed.

Thank you.

What sort of product
are you involved with?

A -- a new invention --

a home refrigeration box
utilizing

a scientific cooling system
designed to reduce spoilage.

For preserving food?

Exactly.

I could see how that
could be very profitable.

Yes, you could make a fortune.

Um, Preston, please.

I -- I've obtained
almost all the financing.

And there's a fellow in El Paso

that looks like he'll put
in the last 15%.

But until I do...

Discretion, of course.

Thank you.

Randolph,
you must spend the night.

- Oh, I --
- As my guest, I insist.

I want to hear more
about this venture of yours.

But my investor
in El Paso is...

As you say, the telegraph
is a marvelous invention.

It allows you to be late
without worrying people.

Let me buy you lunch.

The principle is based

on Boyle's experiment
number 38,

you know, the one which shows
that a vacuum...

Boyle?

Robert Boyle,
the English scientist.

Remember Iggy teaching us
about him at Andover?

Professor Iggstrom?

I haven't thought
about him in years.

He provided some of my best,
deepest sleep.

One of my professors
at Oxford studied

with William Cullen
at Glasgow University.

And Cullen discovered
that volatile liquids

produce a strong cooling effect
when placed under a vacuum.

- Oh, so, this is a vacuum?
- Exactly.

When I returned to the States,

I commissioned
a couple of scientists.

After several months
of experiments,

we came up with this.

Do you have a prototype?

Oh, I sent it on to El Paso.

My investor is
a very cautious man.

Caution is
an admirable quality.

Uh, might we have this prototype
sent here, Randolph?

Uh, I suppose so.
Why?

I might be interested
in helping you out.

Well my investor in El Paso --

Did not go to Andover.

Am I correct?

I never dreamt
I might be in business

with the legend himself.

Well, my investor in El Paso,

he did express interest
in the entire 15%.

He's in cattle.

That's a fairly large
investment.

It shouldn't be a problem
if I like the prototype.

I hate to put you
on the spot here.

But I -- I couldn't hold off
my investor

for more than a couple of days.

Then let's wire
for that prototype right now.

Shall we?

Well, that ought to do it.

A nightcap, Preston?

No, thank you.

I'm very tired
after a very stimulating day.

I'll see you tomorrow then.

- Excellent.
- Good night.

Not so fast, Horace.

I need to send a telegram
to Andover and another one

to the Dean of Science,
Boston University.

Ready?

"Dear Dean..."

Mrs. Ferguson will be
coming by for her medicine.

And don't forget
to look in on Mr. Bailey.

I'll remember.

I was talking to Mr. Lodge.

And maybe I ought to open
a savings account.

Why?

Medical school is going
to be expensive.

Oh, Colleen, I don't think
that's such a good idea.

Can we talk about this
when I get back?

And now, if anything happens,
I'm only a train ride away.

Don't worry.
Everything's gonna be fine.

You are getting
much too mature, Brian.

Just make sure you don't grow
any taller while I'm gone.

Oh, and Matthew!

I'll make sure that nothing
bad happens to anyone anywhere.

I promise.

Just take care of yourself,
all right?

Reverend, don't let her work
too hard.

Make sure she stops work
every day by 3:00.

- You can depend on it.
- All aboard!

Well, let's go.

Seems like one of us
is always coming or going.

Modern life.

You take care of yourself.

Oh, I'll be fine.

I'm not sure that everything's
gonna be all right here.

What could go wrong
in a few days?

Take it over there.

Aw, you little fool!

Now, I got to wait for them
to make me another steak,

you half-wit!

You ain't waiting
for anything here, mister.

- Get out.
- Weren't my fault.

It's the boy
who dropped the plate.

Excuse me, sir.

What line of work are you in?

I'm a carpenter.
Why?

Well, now, that's
a highly skilled profession.

You've got to be a smart man
to be a carpenter.

You ever drop a hammer?

- What difference does --
- And yet you're still

an intelligent man, aren't you?

Don't ever let anyone tell you
that colored people aren't

as smart as white people,
Anthony.

Much obliged.

Ah, you'd have done
the same thing.

You hoping to find surveying
work around here, Mr. Roper?

Please, call me Curtis.

Can't imagine there'd be much
call for surveyors around here.

But I put away a little money.

I was thinking of finding
a pretty spot to settle down,

start some kind of business.

You can start one here.

And that means you'll be
sending for your family.

I'm afraid my wife and I
weren't blessed with children.

My wife passed on
three years ago.

I'm sorry to hear that.

This ain't gonna be easy.

Then let me do the talking.

I got my own suppliers,
people I know I can count on.

You can count on us.

Oh, you ain't got experience
as businesspeople.

Why, you ain't
even been farmers till now.

Our crop is large,
and the quality is good.

How can I be sure?

Give it a try, Loren.
If it don't work out --

Oh, you ain't talking
good business.

If I take Indian corn,

I got to turn away
my regular suppliers.

What if folks don't buy it?
I could be left with nothing.

It's the same seed
that your suppliers are using.

I'm sorry.
I don't mean no offense.

But I got to stick
with folks I can count on.

But Lor--

He does not trust us.

We're getting more

and more customers all the time.

It's a real exciting time
to be involved in finance.

Myra, I've been wanting
to ask your advice,

now that you're working
at the bank

and practically an expert
on these matters.

Why, sure, Dorothy.

I've been thinking that,

well, with all these new folks
coming into town,

that I should expand
The Gazette.

That's a wonderful idea!

Well, there's no room
at the store.

And anyway, it's time
for me to move out.

It's a perfect time.

You could buy
the old telegraph office.

Oh, no.

I -- I couldn't afford
to buy it on my own.

Well, I suppose Loren
would lend me the money,

but it wouldn't be good
to put money between us.

Especially with Loren.

I -- I was wondering,
how's that loan working out,

the -- the one that Horace
took for the surrey?

There's a better way.

There is?

Investing, putting your money
to work for you.

Oh, isn't that risky?

Not all the time,
not if you buy companies

that make things
that folks want to buy.

Oh, my goodness.

I couldn't afford
to buy a company.

Oh, all you got to buy is
a little bit of it.

That's what I'm gonna do
so we can get a bigger house.

You see that man with Preston?

I wasn't gonna tell
anybody else,

but you're such a good friend.

Just between you and me...

- A home refrigeration box?
- Shh!

Promise you won't tell anybody!

Let me ask you something.

You get a lot of folks in here.

You probably know
what folks would go for.

I hope you ain't
selling nothing.

Actually,
I was thinking of buying.

Now, don't go
spreading this around.

You think folks would want
to buy something like that?

It sounds like maybe,
if there's a need for it.

Yeah.
That's what I was thinking --

That everyone would want
to have one in their home.

Ohh.

- Ooh!
- Oh.

Brian, first thing
in the morning, milk the cow.

Milk wouldn't spoil
in a home refrigeration box.

A what?

A home refrigeration box.

It keeps food cold without ice.

Sure.

It's real!
And it's scientific, too.

Mr. Brady says
it's the next big thing,

just like the railroad.

Folks are gonna make
a lot of money off of it.

You think
the children will like

this picture of Long's Peak?

As long as you assure them
you didn't climb it.

In my present condition, it's
all I can do to climb stairs.

Oh, I hope everything is
all right at home.

What can go wrong
in a few days?

Preston.

- Any response to my telegrams?
- Not yet.

Well, you'll let me know
as soon as something comes in?

Sure thing.

Mr. Cummings, Curtis Roper.

I understand you're selling
shares in a company that --

That seat is taken.

I'll only take a minute
of your time.

Mr. Lodge.

I'm interested
in investing in your company.

Pardon me.

This is just
what I was afraid of.

Word gets out,
and people want in --

not our kind of people.

Colored money is
as good as any, Mr. Cummings.

He can't have too much
to invest.

I might be able
to get you a couple of shares.

Oh, my.

Excuse me.
Excuse me, sir.

- Mr. Cummings, ain't it?
- Yes, sir.

I got
some, uh, money set aside.

I was gonna invest in a house.

But, you know,

land ain't worth spit
compared to mass production.

Well, you're a man
of great foresight, Mr. Bray.

Thank you.

Pleasure.

- I got the money.
- Meet me at the church.

Preston sent some telegrams
to check about this.

Maybe we ought to wait
till we get some replies.

Horace, for once in your life,
take charge.

There's only so many shares.

And we've got to get them
before everybody else does.

What are shares
in the company?

It's, uh,

like if you and me put our money
together to buy some cattle.

We'd own the cattle together.

And when we sold it,
we'd split up anything we made.

So, what's imper--
perpetuity?

Perpetuity?
It means forever.

Well, what's
a surefire investment?

Has Loren been filling your
head full of nonsense again?

There's no such thing
as surefire, Brian.

It's like when I was gambling.

I couldn't see
any way I could lose.

But you lost
because you got cheated.

I cheated myself.
I let myself get greedy.

If something with money seems
like it's too good to be true,

it probably is.

I'm gonna go talk to Loren

about making an investment
in the reservation.

I can't remember the last time

I took a moment off just
to do nothing.

It's a beautiful town.
You should take advantage of it.

Oh, it's nothing like
you're used to,

nothing like New Orleans --

houses and the clothes

and, oh, the markets.

Oh, and the music spilling
onto the street everywhere.

All the spices
from the Far East in baskets,

perfuming the air.

And the people.

The people
from all over the world.

Oh, yeah.

You can't possibly miss
being indentured.

Oh, of course
I don't miss being a slave.

I was talking about New Orleans.

You gonna sell Miss Grace
one of your refrigeration boxes,

Mr. Curtis?

Well, I don't sell them,
Anthony.

I just own a small part
of the company that makes them.

Besides, Anthony,

I don't know if we'll
ever be able to afford one.

It's good quality, Loren.

It's better than the corn
you had last year.

Oh, that corn I had last year
sold just fine.

"Just fine" -- Is that
good enough for you?

Loren, this corn will sell.

What if they don't
deliver as much as they say?

- They will!
- What if they don't?

- I'll make good on it.
- How you gonna do that?

I'll find a way.

You got my word on it, Loren.

I'll think about it.

No.

Robert E., we've got
to think about our future.

We -- we ain't got much.

And we got to make
our money work for us.

Money don't work for us.
We work for money.

And I ain't giving it
to somebody else...

It's investing, not giving!

...to spend on something
that might not work out.

Well, what are we gonna do?

Scrape along penny to penny,
day to day?

With Anthony's sickness and all,

we never know
what we're gonna need.

We got to provide for him now.

I can do that
with my own two hands.

Well, Curtis is investing,
and he knows what he's doing!

And I don't?

I love it
when the girls pay me.

Hold it.

- What the hell are you doing?
- Relax.

It's an early town.

Now, you know the rules.
No contact until we leave town.

That's just it.
It's time to move on.

You surprise me.

I saw the way you were looking

at that woman
who runs that café.

See, I just figure we bled it
for all it's worth.

Oh, no, no, no.

We still have the big fish.

And I'm just about ready
to reel that banker in.

Buddy, we're gonna make
a killing on this town.

All right.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Bye-bye.

Mr. Cummings...

how many shares can this buy?

Let me count that for you.

This is a nice day.

Sure is.

Never better.

I thought you two
would be trapped inside,

working away
at your little jobs.

I don't think I'm gonna be
working so hard from now on.

Planning a little trip myself.

Paris, France.

What, Loren, no Bolivia?

Oh, ain't I never gonna
live that down?

- Nope.
- Nope.

That was the plan of a man
without financial resources.

- And now you're rich?
- What's so funny about that?

Not as funny
as Jake getting rich.

Maybe I got me a little
financial plan of my own.

You gonna branch out
into cutting pet hair

like that little Fifi rat dog?

I got a surefire investment.

Yeah, well,
not as surefire as mine.

You're pathetic.

What do you know about finances?

Enough to invest
in the future.

Mass production.

Yeah, but it's
what gets produced that counts.

I'm in home refrigerating.

- I'm in home refrigerating.
- You rubes.

I bought into the Cummings
home refrigerating box.

What do you think
this looks like,

the Buck Knucklehead
home refrigerating box?

So Mr. Cummings went
to your school after all.

I, uh -- I guess you're pretty
happy all this mumbo jumbo

about the, uh, refrigerating box
seems right.

I appreciate your concern,
Horace.

But I must admit
I find it intriguing.

Do you have some personal
interest in this matter?

Oh, you bet, Mr. Lodge.

Why, Myra and I put near every
cent we got in that company.

I understand, sir.
I understand.

What does this mean?

I invested all the royalties
from my book.

Ladies and gentlemen!

Ladies -- ladies and gentlemen!

Ladies and gentlemen, there's
no reason for our concern.

Sir, an undertaking
of this size

requires a substantial amount
of capitalization.

Well, how do we know you
haven't sold too many shares?

Yeah!

I-I'm glad you asked that.

My -- my records are open
and available for anyone to see.

What, why, your local banker,
Mr. Lodge himself, will tell you

this is perfectly legal.

And what's more --
it's a very shrewd way

of investing your money.

Isn't that so, Preston?

Yes.

Yes, of course.

Some of the largest,
most successful companies

in the world are financed
just this way.

And they pay
substantial dividends

to all their investors.

Right, Preston?

Absolutely.

- You put money into this?
- Robert E., it's for --

You put up our money
without asking me?

Even Preston said
that it's all right,

and he's a banker!

They're unaccustomed
to finance.

They can't expect plans or
a prospectus and understand --

Plans and a prospectus
aren't sufficient

for me either, Randolph.

When is that prototype
gonna arrive?

Tomorrow.

But I-I'm afraid I have
some unfortunate news, well,

as far as you're concerned,
anyway.

The company is now fully funded.

Of course it is.

I was hoping you'd understand.

God knows a man like you
doesn't need my little venture.

Uh, wait.

When you say "fully funded,"

you don't mean completely fully?

I'm afraid I do.

Well, wait.
There must be some shares left.

Well, between them,
your neighbors funded

the last 15%.

- But you told me I could.
- And you didn't.

I'm sorry, but waiting
for a hesitant investor

isn't something the legendary
Preston Lodge would do.

Is it?

Loren,
what brings you out here?

Oh, I, uh, thought
I'd just have a look myself.

Go ahead.
Taste it.

I might be able to take
some of it off your hands.

35 cents a bushel.

It's worth 45.

Oh, nobody's gonna pay Indians
that kind of money.

All right, Sully, look --
because it's you,

I'll go to 40 cents --
if they can deliver tomorrow

and just this once.

All right.

Remember, delivery tomorrow,
or the deal is off.

Let's get to work.

You said it was worth 45 cents.

It is.
And I tried to get it but --

I could have gotten 45 cents.

You saw him.
He was not gonna budge.

I could have gotten 45 cents.

Preston,
I've been waiting for you.

Look at this.

One of my primary investors.

12% of my financing dead.

I was hoping that
you'd still be interested.

But he already
put up his money.

Well, I-I know his wife.

She's never been keen on
investing in start-up companies.

I'm certain she's going
to withdraw his investment.

Huh, well...

I'd still need to see
that prototype.

That's no problem.
It'll be on today's train.

Excuse me, Mr. Cummings.

I couldn't help but overhear.

If there's
a greater investment available,

I'd be extremely interested.

I'll wire for it right now.

I'm afraid you're too late.

Right, Randolph?

Right.

Thank you so very much.

This is for you.

We can't accept it.

Oh, please?

You came
through for our children.

Nobody else cared.

But you need the money here.

This is
my own personal contribution

to your church, Reverend.

It's the least I can do.

Thank you.

I'll make sure it gets back
safely to Colorado Springs.

Don't drop it.
Don't drop it.

Come on.
Let's see it.

- All aboard!
- Careful.

- Be careful.
- Don't scratch it, Jake.

Okay.

Okay.

- It's beautiful.
- It's very modern.

- Give me a hand here.
- Easy, gents.

- Who wants a peek?
- Here it is, friends.

- The future.
- Oh!

- Oh!
- It's a block of ice!

There's nothing
but ice in there!

- It's a fake.
- It's a piece of ice!

We've been had!

- Randolph?
- Where's Randolph?

Randolph.

Randolph!

That's not bad.
Not bad at all.

What's the matter?

That's better
than we ever did in Idaho.

We never took
colored folks before.

Well, like you said,

colored money is as good
as anybody else's.

Can you believe
an Andover man thinking

anybody's ever going to invent

a home refrigeration box?

What a sucker.

What are we gonna do

with this stupid thing?
It's ridiculous.

- You got to do something!
- I'd like to, believe me.

Matthew, that was
all my savings.

I wish I could help.

You're the one
who wanted to be sheriff.

- Yeah.
- You have to do something.

I gave him thousands.

You're the one
that said it was safe!

We gave him
all the money we had.

There's nothing I can do.

You could ride after him

- and arrest him!
- He can't do that!

- Why not?
- Well, then wire the marshal.

I'd like to, but I can't
figure out any law he's broken.

What are you talking about?!

He stole our money.

This box will keep food cold
just like it said.

What about the plans
he showed me?

It made it look
completely different.

- Yeah!
- His goods, where are they?

Uh...

Speak up!
We can't hear you!

Yeah, come on.
Let's see them.

H-he kept them.

Kept them?!

Colleen,
did you give him money?

I wanted to help pay
for medical school.

Don't worry.
We'll find a way.

W-w-where's Curtis?
He put up a lot of money.

He ain't been around
since you opened that box.

Probably run off
on the same train.

- What?
- Wait, but he --

Sometimes,
these swindlers work in teams.

Matthew, please,
please do something!

I'm sorry, folks.

Legally,
there's nothing I can do.

Next train out is
to Salt Lake City.

We can stop there
or continue on to Virginia City,

Sacramento, Frisco.

Getting anything so far?

There's one in Salt Lake City.

"Jason Faraday opens
elegant restaurant."

Could use
the food-spoilage angle.

- You could come in for a meal.
- Right.

"Faraday, graduate of
the Deseret Academy."

Ah, yes.
The legend himself.

Here we are, Dr. Mike.

Why don't you sit
right over here and rest?

Can I get you something to eat?

When can you not?

Oh, strudel!

How about
a nice slice of strudel?

Oh, that sounds lovely.

I'll be right back.

Mmm, mm-hmm.

Reverend?

Please, help!

Take his jacket off.
Quickly!

You all right?

Ah!

- Yes.
- Oh, thank you.

Don't mention it.

We have a train to catch.

Did you get it?

Like taking strudel
from a baby.

Did you get it?

Father, forgive me.

Oh.

- And there you are, Grace.
- Oh, my goodness!

Thank goodness we received
Horace's telegram in time.

It was Sully's idea
for you to try and catch him.

Well, I knew
they'd be arriving in Denver.

And Matthew wrote out
what they looked like.

Never knew you were so crafty,
Dr. Mike.

Did you have trouble playing
a hungry pregnant lady?

I guess we're lucky

the Reverend has experience
as a con.

I'm sorry, Reverend.

Don't apologize, Matthew.

I can't help but wonder myself
if it was right

for me to use those...skills.

I promised myself
I left them behind.

But you used them for good.

You and Ma got back
everybody's money.

Oh, that reminds me.

Colleen.

Oh, thank you.

Did Mr. Curtis steal
that money?

Sometimes, people aren't
what they seem to be, Anthony.

I made a mistake.

It's about time
to close up, Anthony.

Let's -- let's go home.

I knew he was a scoundrel

the first time
I ever laid eyes on him.

Then why did you invest
your money?

Can't trust anyone these days.

Your corn, as we promised.

Well, maybe we can make this
into a permanent arrangement.

We do that,
we'll have to renegotiate.

Renegotiate?

55 cents a bushel.

What?!
That's outrageous!

Why, that's highway robbery!

45 cents!

That's my final offer!

I'm glad you're back.

Were you worried about me?

Sure, a little.

Why?

What could go wrong
in a few days, hm?
