Going to Denver?

Hey.

Look at that.

The train's leaving.

Yeah? They're taking all these people with it. Well, they're going to Denver.

Yeah, and Colorado Springs is nothing more than a stop along the way.

A place to stretch their legs before they get back on that train. That ain't

true. I've seen plenty of folks eating dinner here and buying things from

Lauren.

There's so much more they could be doing in our town.

Visiting the hot springs.

Hiking in the woods or exploring local businesses.

Yeah? Where are you planning on putting these folks while they're doing all

that?

In a hotel, which is exactly what this town needs.

No, not just a hotel.

What we need is a resort.

A resort?

In France, there's this place called Monte Carlo that draws men from around

world. Fine hotels.

Floor shows with exotic yet discreet women.

Gambling casinos with high stakes games. You can forget about that part of it.

Why? Last election we had to make a deal with the women.

No new gambling houses without a vote by the town council.

Perhaps the mayor could convince the council to vote for a resort.

Especially if he were involved in the project.

Involved?

As a partner?

Perhaps.

If the mayor were a partner,

he'd vote for us. And he might be able to get the other council members to vote

along with him.

Like Lawrence?

Yeah, and Horace.

Perhaps the reverend, or even... Even if we convinced Horace and the reverend to

go along, Dr. Mike's just going to unconvince them.

Now, I'm afraid there ain't going to be no Monte Carlo in Colorado Springs.

I'm going to go ward after this man.

You know anything?

Hey, gentlemen.

Hold up, gentlemen.

Have you seen this Negro?

He killed his owner right before the war ended.

No, never seen him.

If you spot him, come find me. I'll know what to do.

ordered a dozen more. Mr. Bray promised they'd be here for your birthday next

week. I've got the meal already planned. How many are you all expecting?

The whole town.

How are you going to fit them all in the homestead? We're going to have it

outdoors. We're going to spread blankets on the grass.

Sure you want a big party?

Well, actually... We're going to have music, too.

And dancing.

It sounds lovely, but do you think Mr. Bray would take these lanterns back?

Why? Don't you like them?

Yes, and...

And I appreciate all the thought you put into this, but... I'm not sure I really

want to have a party this year.

But you liked the last birthday party we had for you.

It's true, but... Well, it feels different.

How come?

I'm thinking... I'm thinking that I'd really like to do something I've never

done before.

But why do you have to do it on your birthday?

There's no reason.

I hope you can understand.

What are you thinking of doing?

I'm going to climb to the top of Python.

But you could get hurt, Ma.

And the footpath.

It only goes so far.

Sam climbed to the top of several mountains, and she was much older than I

But that was different. She went to look after her because she was so sick.

That's true.

But I made her a promise before she died that I'd come back and I'd climb to the

top. And it seemed like the perfect time.

But don't you want to be with us on your birthday?

Of course I do.

We can celebrate when I get back.

But then it won't be her birthday anymore.

I don't know how to explain this, but... I'd like to reach that

peak on that day.

I guess your ma ought to do what she wants on her birthday.

Don't you think?

I guess so.

To help Colleen get supper started.

Thank you for understanding.

I don't care much for big parties.

Even better this way.

Two of us, up there and there.

I would love that, except... I want to do it on my own.

I mean, when you're with me, I tend to rely on you.

Oh?

I want to do it by myself.

I want to use all the things that I've learned.

All the things you taught me.

So you're just going to rush off by yourself?

I'm not rushing off.

Well, you went away for a whole month.

But that mining camp was more dangerous than where I want to go. I went because

my friend needed me.

I'm going because I need to do this now.

Why?

To prove that I can.

You'll stick to the footpath?

I guess now ain't such a bad time.

Once we have a baby, it won't be so easy to go off.

Yes, that's true.

Once we have a baby.

Two pounds of beef jerky and the box of matches. Anything else?

I'll need a stack of ribbons.

Dorothy, give me that sack up on the top shelf there, will you?

I think you can climb that ladder by yourself now.

I need you to do it.

You're

really

going to make it trim?

Ain't it dangerous?

Of course it's dangerous.

Well, according to Sam, it's strenuous, but anyone in good health should be able

to make it to the peak.

I think it's a wonderful idea, Michaela.

You do?

Yes.

When you stay in one place, you can't help but falling into a routine.

When you go out exploring, you're bombarded by fresh things to look at.

senses come alive.

Well, that's true, isn't it?

Well, I think it's a lot of foolishness.

Lauren, I'll leave this list with you, and I'll stop by later to pick

up.

I don't think it sounds foolish.

Oh, there's no end to the crazy things that woman gets in her head.

I've got half a mind to try it myself.

You? At your age?

Why, you wouldn't make it halfway up that mountain.

You hear the news?

Dr. Mike is climbing to the top of Pikes Peak. Don't worry.

After a while, nothing she does will seem strange.

Jake, he's going to climb to the top of a mountain.

To the best of my knowledge, there aren't any newspapers there, no

wires. And no way for anybody to get in touch with her. Exactly.

And she's going to be gone at least a week.

Are you sure about this?

Absolutely.

Then I think we ought to call a meeting at the town hall.

How long do you think it's going to take me to reach the top?

Three, maybe four days.

Take a look at the map.

You know what the birthday's like.

Make sure you don't push yourself, because you'll still be getting used to

altitude.

Then the second day, you hit these long, windy trails, and then things get real

narrow.

Oh, right there.

And then, the trail gets steep, and then the rest of it ain't on the map.

There's no place to go exploring. If you can't see a clear way up... I'll be

close enough to the top to find my way.

Afternoon.

I, uh, I want to talk to you about the climb.

Well, I hope you're not intending to dissuade me.

What do you think about taking somebody along with you?

Oh, well, don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I mean me.

Thank you, pardon?

I know I've never done anything like this before, but I want to try.

Oh, why?

I want to prove that I can do it while I'm still young.

But you want to do this by yourself.

I want to do it without relying on anyone.

You certainly wouldn't be relying on me.

Of course, if you want to go alone, I understand.

Well, it would be different from what I had planned.

It wouldn't be easy. I know.

I'm leaving in three days. I could be ready.

Then we should talk about what we need to bring.

That's all we can take.

How long are you planning to be away?

About a week.

A week?

What am I going to do in the store with you gone all that time? We'll be able to

take care of things.

Dorothy's right, Lauren.

You're coming along very well since your illness.

A month ago, I never thought you'd recover this quickly.

What about my exercises?

You always help me with them.

Now, I can get Colleen to help with that, and I've arranged for a doctor

Denver to come here if anyone needs him.

Dorothy, listen to me. You shouldn't be going up that mountain. I agree with

that.

Women ain't got no business climbing no mountain.

They ain't got the strength or the know -how. Well, that's why they want to go.

Sometimes you got to try something you never did before.

Now, that sounds good down here, but the first sign of Steve climbing, you'll be

headed right back home. You don't think I could make it to the top?

Well, we'll see.

Because I'm going to.

If y 'all will take me.

How you

doing?

Howdy.

You know where a man might get cleaned up around here?

Barbers across the street.

Well, I don't need a haircut.

I need a room.

I can't help you there.

How much for this one?

I'm boarding it. She ain't for sale.

How about these two in the pen?

Lord, you know where I might find one that is for sale?

I don't.

You mean the town blacksmith don't know where a man can buy a horse?

People passing through now don't need a horse to take the train.

Well, there's a lot of territory out here that the train don't cover.

I need a horse.

Like I said, I can't help you.

You ready to move forward?

As soon as Dr. Mike leaves, I'm appointing you to the town council.

Call a meeting as soon as possible. I want our plans firmly entrenched by the

time Michaela gets back.

that's supposed to look like?

Yeah, roughly.

I thought we'd put the stage here next door to the casino so the men could

a little after losing all their money to the house.

Thought you two could use another round.

Thank you, Hank. It's most considerate of you.

Don't let me interrupt you.

Well, not at all.

Jake and I are just catching up.

It's been a little drawing.

Taking a look at plans for an addition to my house.

I never knew you were so interested in house plans.

Our mayor is a man of many interests.

I bet he is.

Much as I'd love to sit around and discuss architectural theory, I have to

back to work.

Anything else you think we ought to talk about before the meeting?

Let me know. I will.

Partners.

Partners.

I wish I was going with you.

Well, why don't you come?

Oh, I can. I got some airfare.

Horace can take care of her. He'll do him good.

Got a right to a little adventure.

Ladies.

Um, we were just trying these on for the expedition.

We'll be on our way now.

All right.

Yeah?

Do you think I can go with them?

You're joking.

No. You can't run off and do something like that.

Why not? You could watch Samantha.

It's dangerous. You'd be risking your life.

No, I wouldn't. Besides, you're afraid of heights.

What?

It's awful if something happened to you up there.

It ain't going to be much fun either.

Well, maybe there's something you can think of to make it fun.

Like what?

Can we go fishing?

Every day right after school.

You mean cookies and pie?

Sure. Stay up late reading stories? Eat in bed?

No cleaning your room for a whole week.

Sounds like fun.

Well, you know what? I'll be back.

As soon as the ladies leave, I invite you all to join me in a celebratory game

of poker.

I'll save you a seat, Horace.

What for?

Because we can't have a poker game without Horace. Why not?

Because I've never met a telegraph operator that didn't know his way around

poker table.

Well, that's all right, Preston. I can't make it anyway.

Why not?

I've got to stay home with Myra and Samantha.

I'm disappointed, Horace. So am I. You sure you can't make it out for a hand or

two?

It wouldn't be right.

Well, it's a shame.

We'll miss you, Horace.

I suppose we'll just have to make do without him.

We can make do with just one pot.

Oh, I can't make do without my coffee.

Me neither. Then we'll use the pot. We'll just add the grinds to the boiling

water.

Now, let's just see what's in yours.

Well,

that's Emerson.

Sam gave me this. This isn't Sam.

Myra.

I've been thinking.

It might not be so bad.

I mean, it'd be...

Good for you to get away, as long as you're real careful.

And I'll take care of Samantha.

Horace, what are you saying?

You can go.

Horace, thank you.

You know, we'll need to get you some clothes and a pack.

You, uh...

You still got room for one more in that poker game?

Oh, absolutely, Horace. We weren't looking for just anybody. We wanted you.

Well, count me in.

I thought you had to stay home.

Not anymore.

Myra's going to Pike's Peak, too.

Well, then we'll see you tomorrow at the saloon. I'll be there.

Looks like we just got one more vote for the hotel.

Flower? Oh, I have the flower.

Well, I had to match it.

I did, and I got the coffee. Well, I think that's about it.

We're ready.

Oh.

Bye, sweetheart.

Money will be home soon.

Horace, would you come join us? Oh, uh, sure.

Be careful.

We love you.

You just promised me, Grace, you won't take no chances.

Don't you worry.

I'll be back.

You ain't really going through with this, are you?

Everything's going to be all right. I'll be back before you know it. Now, don't

forget to do your exercises, morning and night.

I won't be gone long.

I got a dollar. Say, should we be back before sundown?

I made it for you.

When it's your birthday, we can open it up and think of it.

I'll be thinking about you every day.

Kayla, you don't have to make it all the way to the top.

Whatever you do, I won't cry.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Let's go!

Let's give a cheer for the first all -female mountaineering team from

Springs. Hip, hip!

Hooray!

That's not so good.

It's beige and pine.

Dorothy, look.

See? It's a red -tailed hawk.

Dorothy?

I'm just trying to take it all in. It's all so beautiful.

Yes, it is. I'm so glad we're doing this. So am I. And it gets even more

beautiful the higher you climb.

Is Samantha all right?

No, she's fine.

I am hungry.

Me too.

What do you got to eat?

I think an expert on house plans like you know he ain't got no kitchen.

Well, perhaps you have some hors d 'oeuvres.

Snacks.

All those I got.

Pickled eggs, pig's feet, jerky.

Hash of feet.

And another round of drinks, too.

You got it.

On the big winner.

How come we ain't never done this before?

We ain't never had the women out of town?

Well, then here's to the women being out of town.

Yeah, the women out of town.

Yes, I can drink to that.

What are we going to do tomorrow?

Get some more poker.

We could go to Denver.

I hear they got a burly queue there with girls that take their clothes off.

What do you think, Jake?

I think the first thing we ought to do is have a meeting at the town council.

What for?

To ensure that we can have good times like these more often.

Good times. Good times.

Looks like a lovely place to rest.

I don't think we should stop just yet.

Best to cover as much ground as possible early in the day.

Where?

By that rock.

I don't see anything.

Well, sometimes they lie so still you can't see them. They look just like a

branch. Don't go near it.

It doesn't look like a snake.

Probably is a tree branch, Myra.

Don't worry.

I thought this was going to be tough. We ain't even going up yet.

I think we missed a turn somewhere.

You think we're lost?

We're not lost.

They're lost.

I'm going to need you to conduct some research.

What kind of research?

Important research. I need you to contact operators in other cities.

That might be kind of hard with Myra going.

By all means, you must take care of Samantha.

I'm sure I could find some other means to procure the information I need. No,

no, I'll do it.

I was just going to give her to someone to watch and go back to the station.

Excellent. I'll meet you there in five minutes.

Matthew, you've got to watch Samantha.

What? Please, just for five minutes.

Wait, Horace, thanks. Listen, Horace, I've got to... Horace!

Here.

Matthew. You're always saying how you want Dr. Michael Sully to have a baby.

you get to practice.

By the way, I found somebody in this town who would sell me a horse.

He thought it was mighty strange that I couldn't buy one from a town blacksmith.

You got a horse, then you got no more business with me.

Well, I didn't come to Colorado to find a horse.

I came here to find a Negro.

And I'm starting to wonder if the reason you wouldn't sell me a horse is because

you know this Negro. Maybe you even know where he is.

I've never seen that man.

Well, you better be sure about that.

Because it's a crime. I know the laws of the territory.

Well, this Negro knew the laws back where he come from.

But that didn't mean he followed them.

Like I said, I've never seen that man.

I better not find out different.

If I do, the next Negro I come looking for is going to be you.

Please let me help you with that.

I don't need the printing press to announce a council meeting, anyway.

Really having a council meeting?

The mayor thinks it's time to re -examine restrictive codes concerning

business activity in town.

Say that in plain English.

There are investors who want to build a hotel in town, with a casino, among

other things.

So I think it's time to repeal the law against starting new gambling

establishments. I'm not sure I agree with that, Preston. If anybody opens a

gambling establishment, it's going to be me.

Well, a place like that can bring the kind of people we don't need here.

That's precisely why we need a council meeting.

To fully explore the issue.

You can't have a council meeting without all the council members being here.

Don't worry, Sully. I'm going to appoint someone to take Dr. Mike's place.

Why don't you wait until she gets back?

These investors won't wait.

If we don't act now, we're going to miss this opportunity.

So you're going to bend the law so you can get what you want? We ain't bending

the law.

It says right here.

It said, circumstances, the mayor is empowered to replace the above

council member such that there shall remain five seated members.

I'll take a place.

I already got somebody.

Who?

Preston.

Just lost our trail, that's all.

How do we find it?

Can I see that?

Let's split up.

Dorothy and I will scout this way, and Grace, why don't you take Myra, check

that way, see if you can spot anything.

I think we should all head back this way.

What do you think about us sticking together, Dr. Mike? I think we should

our options first, and meet back here in half an hour.

What are we supposed to do with her?

Just watch her.

It'll only be for five more minutes.

It's already been an hour.

What's that smell?

Put this in the laundry bag?

Do I have to, Brian?

Watch the clock.

Watch the clock.

Think I'll have to do this when Ma has a baby?

Of course you will. Powder.

Powder?

Thank you.

Are you watching?

How long did it take you to learn all this?

Not long.

Diaper.

Diaper.

Make sure you get a good fit.

You got all that? I think so.

Good, because next time you get to change it all by yourself.

as soon as I get my... Myra, your pack is in the river.

My clothes.

The pack.

Why don't we spend the night

here and then we can start back to town in the morning?

Sounds good to me.

Town? What are you talking about?

Well, I like all the beans in that water, not to mention ruining the

Well, we should have divided our supplies more evenly, but we still have

flour left.

Sully and I spent days in the mountains with less than that.

Well, Sully knows how to find food.

So do I.

We can gather mushrooms and greens. We don't have any matches. We could freeze

if the weather turns.

I know how to make a fire.

But what are we going to do without a map?

Listen, we prepared for this trip.

And some people didn't think we'd even make it this far.

Now, I know we can make it to the top with what we have left.

And that's why we wanted to discuss this with you confidentially before the

meeting. I think it's important we present a united front on this proposal.

Jake supports the measure?

So does Horace.

Well, that may be, but I don't think too many other folks are going to take to

the idea.

Once the council votes, other folks will go along.

I don't think this is the kind of thing that folks should be forced to go along

with. You're absolutely right, Reverend.

We don't want to force anyone into this.

were simply opening their eyes to new opportunities.

I'm afraid that sounds an awful lot like what you said when you opened your

bank, Preston.

I think that there's a lot of folks in town who wish that they had had more to

say in the matter.

This is a completely different venture, Horace.

One that demands community involvement.

I promise you, all of Colorado Springs will benefit.

Every man, woman, and child.

Samantha, I gotta go.

We'll get his vote.

Trust me.

Party over?

Matthew asked us if we'd watch Samantha for five minutes.

Horace asked Matthew, and that was three hours ago.

I'm sorry.

Things with Preston took longer than I thought.

Preston? What are you doing with him?

Oh, I can't say. It's confidential.

Can I talk to him?

Sure.

Samantha, sweetie.

You can't let Preston sit on the council.

Don't have a choice.

Yeah, you do.

I've been reading the town charter, and it says right here that... When a

council member can't be at a meeting, their next of kin is allowed to take

member's place.

But Jake already appointed Preston. Yeah, but if you want it.

Now, the law says that seat belongs to you.

Now, I know the reverend will vote against the hotel, so if you convince

your vote will make the decision.

A lot of folks in town like the idea of a hotel.

More people, more business.

Come on!

I'm doing my damn job. Is that what you think?

What the hell are you looking at? Who's that?

A bounty hunter.

I thought you knew how to start a fire.

I do know how.

Never done it before.

Once I get this fire going, I'll brew you some of that willow bark tea for

headache.

Oh, no.

I got a blister on my foot.

Oh, let me take a look.

Now let's leave it exposed to the air for now.

In the morning we'll bandage it.

What are you cooking, Grace?

Who says I'm cooking?

Well, I just figured you'd be best at it. Well, I ain't a magician.

There.

I've got it.

We have a fire.

Now we're all going to feel a lot better.

Sit up closer.

Bring your boots.

Dorothy?

It's not going to take long.

It would have taken a whole lot better if you hadn't ruined all our fault.

It was an accident, Grace.

Well, if you hadn't rushed me, I wouldn't have fallen in the water.

Okay, it's no one's fault.

And we wouldn't have had to cross that stream at all if you'd been on the right

trail in the first place.

Here's one of Sam's favorite passages.

Onward and onward, in liberated moments, we know that a new picture of life and

duty is already possible.

It's not my idea of fun.

It'll be over before you know it.

Dully, I'm glad to see you participating in the democratic process.

You're in my seat. I already appointed him to the council, Dully.

But I got a right to that seat.

What? Tell him the truth.

Town charter says that if a council member's away, next of kin's got first

at the seat.

You see that?

He's right.

It is your wife's seat

after all.

What is it?

Sam.

Grape.

Well, this is a perfect resting spot.

And a fitting place to end our trip.

Well, we already decided we were going on. We didn't decide.

You did.

Is that what you think?

We didn't exactly talk it out.

Be reasonable, Michaela.

My head ain't hurt like this in years. And Mari's getting so she can hardly

walk. My body aches all over.

And even if I could make something to help us feel better, there ain't much

to cook.

You can't make it to the top of a mountain without certain difficulties.

We haven't even gotten to the most difficult part yet.

You'd rather quit than go on? We ain't quitting.

Well, that's what it looks like to me.

I suppose you're the only one up here whose opinion matters.

No, that's not what I'm saying.

Then what are you saying?

I'm saying that I know I can get us all to the top. You can't get us someplace

we don't want to be.

This ain't the clinic.

It's a mountain.

And that means you ain't in charge.

If we were taking a vote, I would say that we go back.

You really want to go back to town?

Then tell Sully and the children I'll be back in a few days.

Oh, Michaela.

Don't go.

If we let Preston build a hotel and casino...

We're going to have to let others do it, too.

What's to stop Hank from expanding the saloon? I'm already making plans for it.

I think everyone is troubled by this idea, Preston.

And I've heard that you're also considering a floor show with dancing

So?

So I think we should consider the consequences of such a hotel.

Especially how it will affect the children of our town. Exactly, Reverend.

This establishment is going to have wonderful benefits for our children.

A casino and dancing women?

What I'm proposing today isn't simply a world -class hotel.

Based on research gathered from other communities with casinos, I'm proposing

that 10 % of all revenue brought in by the hotel be put into a special town

to rebuild our school, to pave our streets, to meet our sanitation needs.

Why, this very church is in need of repair.

And as soon as that hotel is open, we're going to make this church look brand

new.

So in building this hotel, you're not helping me.

You're helping yourselves.

And you're helping the children.

Let's vote.

I say we build this hotel.

Me too.

I vote no.

It would be nice to have the money to refurbish the school.

And pave the streets.

Who's going to make sure this money goes where it's supposed to?

I've seen the way this works with the Indians.

Government says they've got money and supplies to give away, but somehow they

never do.

These ain't Indians we're giving the money to.

This is our own flesh and blood.

You've got two kids in school yourself, Solly. Don't you want to make sure we're

providing for their education?

Of course I do.

As their teacher, it's my duty to look after my students.

So I'm voting yes.

I vote for Preston, too.

Motion passes four to one. Congratulations, folks.
