Previously on Dr.

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

Especially if he were involved in the project.

I'm going to climb to the top of Pike's Peak. What do you think about taking

somebody along with you? Because I'm going to.

You can go.

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

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

Motion passes four to one.

Congratulations, folks. You've got a new hotel and casino.

Break out them cigars. We're celebrating.

Oh, I don't know as I feel good about giving something away that sells as good

as these do.

When the hotel opens, I'll buy you a whole new box.

Think of it as your first official transaction with the hotel.

Well... The first of many.

These are selling as well as you say.

Why don't you raise the price?

Oh, Dorothy hates it when I do that.

Dorothy isn't here now.

Yeah, that's right.

She ain't.

We

keep

going like this, we could be soaking in the hot springs tomorrow.

Oh, forget about the hot springs. I'm going to eat first.

Roast beef, mashed potatoes, corn.

What about you, Dorothy?

Oh, I'm not thinking much about food right now.

You still have that headache?

Oh, I'm fine now that we're heading down.

Then what's wrong?

I'm just feeling bad about Michaela.

I had no choice. I couldn't go on.

Maybe a few years back, but now I'm old. That's why I

felt so bad up there.

Well, you feel all right now, don't you?

Well, yes.

There you go.

I heard about folks feeling bad when they get high up, and as soon as they

down, they feel better, and it don't matter how old you are.

But I am getting older.

And I do my best to hold it off. I tell

myself I still feel young, I still look good, but then...

Then I notice how other people aren't that interested in how I look.

I mean, if a young girl walks by, people's heads will turn. But a woman my

sometimes I feel like I'm becoming invisible.

I know that feeling.

But you know, the funny thing is that deep down inside, I feel more alive than

ever. I got a hankering to do all sorts of new things.

Well, like what?

Oh.

I don't know.

Living on my own.

All my life, I've lived under somebody else's roof first. My daddy's, and then

my husband's, and now Lauren's.

You could find a place in town.

Make a home for yourself.

I could.

But it wouldn't be right moving out on Lorne right now.

Not after what he's been through.

I can't believe I'm going to be running a hotel.

Oh, you won't have to be doing everything yourself, Jake.

That's right. Why, a hotel like that's going to need a whole staff.

And a whole staff there shall be.

Who are you going to hire?

A group of investors I've organized knows of some men with some experience

the field, and I'll be bringing them in to consult.

Consult?

Just to make sure everything goes as it should.

As you say, Jake, you've no experience running a hotel.

I wouldn't dream of putting everything on your shoulders.

Um, you, uh, you think there's something I could do?

I'm going to need you to communicate with the consultants.

Down there, we could save ourselves a whole lot of walking.

Well, what do you think, Dorothy?

Well, how come... Any time I make a suggestion about which direction to go,

have to ask Dr. Mike or Dorothy what they think?

No reason, Grayson.

Just seeing how everybody feels.

Well, if Dr.

Mike makes a suggestion, you don't ask everybody else how they feel.

Oh, now, now, that ain't true.

Like when I tried to tell everybody that we were on the wrong trail?

Well, Michaela had a different opinion, that's all.

But you listened to her, didn't you?

Look, I can see how you'd be mad if you believed that, but that just ain't so.

Can't be.

Why not?

Because we're friends.

Good friends.

Grace. After climbing that mountain together we are better friends than

But we didn't really climb that mountain.

What can I do for you, Hank?

Just came to talk a little business.

Do you usually talk business with your associates in the room?

I do when I'm making a point.

Which is?

Which is there ain't no reason for you and me to be having to compete in

Competition is the locomotive that drives all business.

My train is already up and running, Preston.

Won't you get on board with me?

Because your train can only go so far.

The track I'm laying has no limits.

You may got plenty of money, but I know how to put that money to use. And there

ain't nobody in this town better at entertaining than me.

I'm not running that kind of hotel, Hank.

My hotel is going to be a first -class operation from the gaming table to the

entertainment.

The women in my stage show are going to be the best performers in the country,

working on a world -class stage with the most exotic costumes.

Do you ladies dance?

They already work for me.

Competition, Hank.

Get used to it.

How much I owe you?

Nothing.

Appreciate what you tried to do at the meeting yesterday.

Even though it didn't work out.

You were right about that hotel.

They don't. Like when the train came through town.

Nobody's thinking ahead.

Well, I am.

I can't help you. I'm going to have to date and try

to open it.

Let's rest here.

with you!

No, no, no, no.

Look, it's the only way.

I ain't disagreeing, Grace. It's just I'm the smallest.

You... I should go down, and you two should stay up and pull.

Thought you were afraid of heights.

I am.

All right.

Careful.

Careful.

I'll wait till you've got a hold of it.

All right.

Just don't look down.

All right, let's get this around and get you back up there.

Ready?

I'm ready.

All right,

Dorothy.

I'm just getting my second wind.

each of you an apology.

No, Dr. Mack.

We don't.

We all said things we didn't mean, Michaela.

Perhaps, but there was some truth in what you were saying about me.

I mean, I was just thinking about reaching the top.

If you hadn't had the courage to climb back up... Well, we did.

Yes, you did.

And I can't think of three women I'd rather see reach the top of Fikes Peak.

Four women. And one day we're going to come back up here and finish what we

started.

We may never have the chance again, Dorothy. We must do it now.

You can't go up there.

No, I don't mean me. I mean you.

Don't start talking crazy, Dr. Mike. We ain't leaving you here.

We're not going to leave you sitting here all by yourself.

Look, I can move my arm, and my knee doesn't require surgery.

I just need a day to allow the swelling to go down, and then I'll be able to

make it back with you.

No.

When Sam died, I spent the night up here by myself, and I was fine.

If you'd come up here by yourself this time, you'd still be stuck down there

where we found you. You're one day away from the top.

If you set off right now, you'd be back before sunset tomorrow, and that's just

one night. Which is one night too many. Well, if I was Sully... Well, if Sully

was injured, we'd be taking him back down the mountain to a doctor, which is

what we should be doing for you.

But I am a doctor.

And if any of you had my injuries, I'd make sure that you rested for a day and

then went down.

He didn't come all the way back up here to leave you alone again.

No. You came back up here because you wanted to prove that you could climb to

the top.

This is your chance.

Well, you two just might as well think about it, because, you know, we ain't

going nowhere till Dr. Mike is ready.

Well, you can sit here and watch the swelling in my knee go down, or you

do something you may never have the opportunity to do again.

Stand on top of a mountain.

We're gonna go over to Becky's house this afternoon.

Who's gonna watch Samantha?

You are.

By myself?

You've had plenty of practice.

All you gotta do is read her those books.

Kelly said he'd take me fishing this afternoon.

We can go fishing tomorrow. Becky invited me to her house this afternoon.

Where's Samantha?

Oh, no.

We'll find her.

How far could she have gone?

We ought to order this for the casino.

It's called a Louis BXVI chat. I got him in France.

That's where Louis lives.

Very impressive, Jake. You've been doing your homework.

Well, running a hotel is a lot of responsibility.

Yes, it is.

I've got good news on that very subject.

I've located just the man to oversee our operation.

You mean someone who's going to make sure things go the way we want them to.

Actually, I think it's best if we follow his lead on matters concerning the day

-to -day running of the hotel. Well, we said that I was going to be running

things. We said you'd have a position of authority.

So you shall.

She's quite a handful, isn't she?

She doesn't want to keep still.

What she wants is irrelevant.

You're in charge.

Yes, but you've got to watch her every second and make sure she doesn't run

away.

Why don't you find a place where she can't run away?

Oh, I'm getting hungry.

What have we got to eat?

Don't you have any biscuits?

I snuck all my biscuits into Michaela's bag just to be sure she'd have enough.

So did I.

Well, we gotta eat one more time before we get to the top. What?

What are you doing?

They're fishing me.

I don't see any.

Trout?

Just look.

Look. By those rocks.

I see them.

Anybody got a fishing pole?

We don't need one.

Like bugs.

You gotta know what kind of bugs they eat.

Because cat are smart.

What is it?

I don't know, but try to love them. How?

Well, I used to go fishing with my brothers.

Have you ever caught anything with one of those before?

Then it's the first time for everything.

Now you got a horse to rent in case somebody comes looking for one.

Come on.

I said come on!

You ready?

Wrong?

You sure about that?

Yeah.

Here's something I've been meaning to ask you. Something I...

It's more like something I need your promise on.

Sure.

It ain't a little thing, Sully.

I want you to look after Grace.

In case anything ever happens to me, I want to make sure she's taken care of.

Why are you talking like that, Robert E.? I don't know.

All this talk about the hotel's kind of got me thinking.

You've got more on your mind than that.

Do you think that man to bow down on the couch?

Yeah.

You know him?

No, but I know what he feels like.

Isn't that some kind of trouble, Robert E?

Because if you are, you've got friends in town here.

Don't even think the kind of thing. Oh, God damn.

Did you try talking to anybody?

Grace? I ain't telling Grace.

Now, the less she know, the better. I don't want her involved.

I killed the man who owned me.

I was escaping with my brother and his boy, and we waited until the fog got so

thick you could hardly see ten feet in front of you, and we headed right for

swamp so the dogs couldn't track us.

We heard the dogs barking, trying to pick up our scent.

Right before we got out of the swamp, he was...

He was there standing right in front of us.

Shot Joe right off.

He asked me if he should drown the boy, just shoot him.

I waited half an hour.

And he said, well, I was too late.

Then he walked over and he got the boy and he put his head under the water. But

not all the way. He said he wanted me to see what I did to the boy. What I did.

Got the open of the water.

When I came up, I was standing right behind him.

I got him in a hole that no man could ever get out of.

I told the boy to run on back and don't say nothing.

Then I killed him.

You're self -defense robbery, huh?

The way I come from, they call that murder.

Fire's doing well, Grace.

Yes, life's the way Dr. Mark showed it.

Oh, my, your hair's so long.

I've forgotten how pretty it is.

Oh, I haven't worn it down in a while.

I haven't done a lot of things I used to.

Well, you got married. That changes everything.

I figured it would.

Just not the way it has.

Well, you have a nice, normal life with cars.

When the horse and I fell in love, I was so happy.

We'd get married in a nice, normal church wedding and live in a normal

have a normal family.

Normal life is driving me crazy.

Well, it's got to be better than working in a saloon.

Yeah.

But I used to speak my mind.

I had gumption.

Lately, I've been wearing great dresses, putting my hair at the bottom, acting

meek.

Oh, well, you didn't act meek when you're going down that rope to get to

Mike.

I didn't, did I?

Maybe you ought to wear your hair down more often.

No.

It's not just the hair.

When I married Horace, I thought all my troubles would be over.

I love Horace.

And Samantha, she's the greatest blessing I've ever had in my life.

But I just want to be somebody.

Am I all right?

They can get your strength back, boy. About time, too. I got a story around

here.

Some chairs are going to be gone if we don't order them right away. I don't

to order them, Jake. Then I will.

You can't. Why not? I thought we were partners.

Jake, we're still in the process of defining our positions.

You said we had a deal.

You shook on it.

Technically, until a contract is drawn up, I'm the only person with decision

-making authority.

You say we're not partners?

Let's not get bogged down with certain words.

I have men who've invested a great deal of money in this venture, and I know

they want the mayor involved.

I promise you, you're going to love your position at the hotel.

In Monte Carlo, everybody would call you le coiffeur extraordinaire.

You're going to have ten chairs at your disposal, assistants to give shape, so

you don't have to if you don't want to. A run of the barbers?

You're going to be the envy of every barber in the territory.

And what does the cow say?

Moo.

You're going to be a real good older brother.

It's kind of fun reading to somebody.

Maybe tomorrow we can bring Samantha out to the homestead, huh?

Molly? Brian?

In here.

What are you doing?

Reading.

I can see that, but you're in jail.

Samantha keeps getting away.

Is she all right?

She's fine.

Except I think she's been missing her pa.

I can tell you who she really misses.

Her ma.

That's who.

Thanks.

Hey.

You need a hand?

Nothing.

You can tell, Grace.

No.

She'd understand.

And what good would that do?

It would put your mind at ease.

My mind ain't ever been at ease.

I expect it ever will be.

Is that the way you plan on living the rest of your life? I'll get by.

You never would have married Grace if you just wanted to get by.

That's just it.

Suppose I'm scared Grace will leave me.

Not the Grace I know.

Thinking about Samantha?

Samantha needs her bunny to get to sleep.

I hope Horace remembers.

Oh, I'm sure he did.

I know she's fine.

But I can't help thinking, even if you get to the top tomorrow, maybe I should

have been home this week.

Oh, I don't think so.

Then I think, of course I should be here.

Having a family doesn't mean you stop living your life.

The fact is, I should be doing more things.

I want Samantha to look at me the way Colleen looks at Dr.

Mai.

I want her to tell her friends how she wants to be just like me when she grows

up.

How she's proud of her mom.

Because her mom climbed all the way to the top of the bicycle.

Now me and little girls can say that about their moms.

We never did go fishing, did we?

That's all right.

We've been cleaning up after every meal and having cookies and pie.

We even went to bed early.

We had fun.

I thought you spent most of your time watching after Samantha.

We did.

What are you doing?

Well, I'm looking at the town charter.

Anything else about government regulations I can get my hands on.

Would you mind if we'd stay up with you?

You got any dessert?

We got pie.

And I have everything we need to make Ma's birthday cake.

David, make her a cake when she gets back.

She probably ain't gonna want a cake when she gets back.

Why not?

Because Grace probably made her something special for her birthday.

And tomorrow they're gonna be on Top of Pike's Peak having a celebration.

Happy birthday, Ma.

I'm sorry I didn't get you anything this year.

But I know you already got the present you wanted most.

You're standing on top of Pike's Peak, seeing what the clouds look like from

above. Hearing nothing but the wind.

Feeling the way an eagle does when it's floating in the sky.

I love you, Brian.

Aren't you excited to see Miss Dorothy?

Of course I am.

I've just been busy, that's all.

That's because she ain't been around to help.

I can take care of things on my own.

She does more than help with the work.

You're always talking with her.

And you go to gracious together.

Church.

So?

So now that you're getting better, you two can get married.

and sick made me realize we shouldn't be married.

See, I want to be here looking after my store.

Dorothy, well, she wants to be out doing new things with her life.

Like what?

Like climbing mountains.

Just look

We

did

it!

Don't worry, Jake. I'm not going to be doing any business with Preston's hotel.

You can do business in my hotel.

Sounds good to me. You better watch out if you go up against Preston.

He's a snake.

Jake, I'm looking for you.

Well, this ain't the right time, Sully. Can it wait?

You want to keep Preston Bill at that hotel?

Yeah, I'm getting real tired of hearing about that. Then do something.

There's nothing anybody can do.

I'm not talking about anybody, Jake.

I'm talking about you.

The mayor.

Nice

spot,

ain't it?

Not nearly as nice as it's going to be.

I don't know. I kind of like it the way it is.

Shame to change it. Especially if we can't trust the person doing the

Gentlemen, we've already had this discussion.

Let's have a different discussion.

Regarding?

Regarding historical landmarks. Sounds like a discussion worth having.

There are no historical landmarks in Colorado Springs.

Well, maybe it's time we got one.

Let's see.

Where would be a good place for a historical landmark?

How about right here?

Good idea.

I'm sure folks will come from all over to see this spot.

Don't be ridiculous. There's no history here.

Oh, of course there is.

It was on this very spot that one of our founding fathers, Hezekiah Farnsworth,

proposed to his wife, Nellie. Oh, what a wedding that was.

Gentlemen, this site represents the future of Colorado Springs.

No, it don't.

This site's been declared a historical landmark, which means no construction,

hotel.

You have no authority to do that.

Well, I can make a proposal.

The mayor here was to sign it.

Well, then it's a law.

It's all right there in writing, because we know how important it is for you to

have things on paper.

Very clever, Sully.

But things in Colorado Springs are going to change, whether you like it or not.

I promise.

We got nothing to worry about, do we?

You won't serve it with promises, are you?

Happy birthday, McKay!

You make it? Oh.

And we brought you a birthday flower from the top of the mountain.

There were just two of these flowers up there. We were going to pick the other

one to lay on Sam's grave, but we wanted to leave it up there where Sam wanted

to be.

Thank you. It's lovely.

And now she'll always have something from the top of Pike's Peak.

We were thinking about you the whole way there.

Someday. We ought to go back.

Oh, getting to the top of that mountain was like... It was like nothing I've

ever imagined.

I wish I could have been there.

You will, someday.

We just got to plan another trip to go back there.

I was thinking that just after you left.

And I started thinking about how I plan everything.

Then I realized something.

The most important events in my life were things that I never planned, things

that I had no control over at all.

Like what?

Like meeting Sully, adopting the children, and...

Dan?

Having a baby?

You're not worried about this, are you?

When women get older, and every year it does become more difficult.

Oh, Michaela, you've only been married, what is it, six months?

Well, you've got to be patient.

You're going to have a baby.

I'm sure of it.

The truth is, beyond my control.

Let's have a toast.

Politics. Politics.

Brandon's looking out for each other.

Even better.

Look at that.

They're back.

The ladies are back.

Ma!

Ma! Ma!

Are you all right?

What happened?

I had a little fall.

Luckily, my friends were there to help me.

How was your birthday?

Better than I could have ever planned.

Are you hungry?

Oh, you bet we are.

It was just the time for a picnic.

Come on.

Seems so good.

I feel like I got a fresh start on life. Yeah, so do I.

In fact, there's something I have to tell you.

Something I've never been able to tell you before.

What's that?

When I was in the hospital.

I'm awful glad you're back.

I learned a whole lot. Something real important while you were gone.

So did I.

I learned that a family needs their ma at home.

I don't ever want to see you run off like this again. You understand?

Well, now, are you feeling better?

Yeah. Oh, good.

And you've been doing your exercise? Yeah.

Good. Well, now that I'm back, I'll be able to help you with them.

Dorothy, I've been doing some thinking.

Look, you're always going to be welcome at my place. You know that. Don't get me

wrong, but maybe it's time you thought about looking for a place of your own.

What was it like up there?

I didn't make it.

Well, I'm proud of you no matter how far you made it.

Yes, I think the whole trip was something to be proud of.

And how are things here?

Fine. Thanks to Sully? He took your place on the council.

And he made sure Preston couldn't build his casino.

Casino?

Well, come on. I'll tell you all about it.
