Hello, please.

His name's Two Spears.

Pawnee? Yeah.

30 of them camped in a valley about 50 miles from here.

They were running with the army. Most of them were killed.

Including his wife.

I will speak with him.

I think that's a good idea.

The Pawnee are no longer my enemy.

Here we are all one people.

With one common enemy.

Agent Sonny!

Agent Sonny!

Superintendent Hazen. Good to see you, lad.

I didn't expect you here today.

Well, traveling about such as I do, I mean, I hardly know where I'm going from

day to day. But, uh, you did know I was coming, didn't you? I mean, you did

receive me a letter.

Yeah.

Be assured, Agent Sully, that I am committed to you and to this

But lately it seems that our lines of communication have broken down.

Inquiries have gone unanswered.

Quarterly reports cease to have been filed. Filing reports don't make much

when nothing's ever done about them.

Well, sure, now that's why I'm here, isn't it? To see the work that you're

firsthand and to help you fix what ain't working.

St. Teresa's Academy in Kansas City.

Colorado Seminary College.

This looks like the best.

Especially in pre -medical studies.

Be good when I apply for medical school.

And it's in Denver.

Close to home. What do you think?

Oh, it sounds nice.

Block on the bank just rang three times. You know what that means.

Time for the doctor to go home and rest.

Oh, it is.

Still can't get used to that sign on the door.

What's that all about?

Stay here and find out.

Emma!

Man was beating on her. Pulled him off where it got warm. Come on, hurry.

Let's get into the car.

She all right?

Her eyes bruised, but there doesn't appear to be any damage to her sight.

And her ribs are sore from being thrown against the wall.

Injuries don't appear to be serious. She's going to be fine.

Can I see her?

How are you feeling?

I'll be all right.

I'm going to get the guy that did this.

Long gone, Matthew.

I'm the wire of the town.

I'll make sure he doesn't get out of the territory.

I'm going to make him pay for what he did.

Please, Matthew.

I just want to forget about it.

I'll stay here with you.

You don't have to.

Grandma, I ain't going nowhere.

P.

Very good. Excellent, excellent.

All right, now a difficult one.

Q.

Do you remember how to make a Q?

That is very good.

Now? This is it. This is the school.

Hey.

Yeah, the kids have really started taking to it.

Oh, yeah, sure, why shouldn't they? I mean, they're barefoot, laying around

hillside all night. Where are the uniforms?

Where is the schoolhouse?

I kind of put it off for now, sir.

The children enjoy it better outside.

This is silly. Now, listen, I thought I made myself very clear in the telegrams

that I sent you.

Reverend Johnson!

Children, just keep practicing. I'll be right back.

Superintendent Hazen. Welcome.

Thank you, sir. Thank you. I must say that I'm a bit upset in the manner in

which you're conducting class.

Well, Sully felt that... The school does not fall under Agent Sully's

jurisdiction. We gave you that responsibility, now didn't we?

Yes, I know. We do have a mandate.

on how to best teach these children.

Actually, the children have been learning so much better with this new

teaching. Following the manual has proved too difficult for you, Reverend.

We'd be happy to find you a replacement. Now, would you like me to do that?

No. Oh, no, that's fine.

That's fine.

Agent Sully will coordinate with you in the building of the schoolhouse.

The sooner these children start living like white children, the sooner they'll

prosper in our world.

Now, I think we've just got time now to see the crops.

Thank you, Reverend.

Owen? Brian?

We were trying to think you were going to miss dinner.

It's good.

Where's your mom?

She's reading by the fire.

She had a long day. She just now got home.

Emma got beat up.

Is she all right?

She had some bruises, but she's going to be fine.

Mom was tending to her most of the afternoon.

She's really tired.

Make sure she gets to bed right after we eat.

Ready?

If we both had a long day, it isn't sure.

What do you want?

Emma sent me over here to get one of her dresses.

How is she?

She's fine.

Dr. Mike's released her.

Her room's in the back.

Third on the right.

Glad she's coming back.

Act as I need her.

Remember this dress?

Of course.

Our first picnic.

Spilled potato salad on it.

How are you feeling?

Better. Dr. Mike gave me some tea to help with the soreness.

Said I'd be feeling myself in a couple of days.

Emma.

When you get out of here, I don't want you going back to the saloon.

Matthew.

You don't have a contract.

You can just walk away. We've been through this before.

Things are different than before.

Well, what's different now?

Everything.

How we feel about each other.

How I feel.

The fact is... I love you.

You're just saying that because of what just happened.

No.

I'm saying it because that's what I mean.

Because it tears me apart to see you like this.

It's just a few bruises.

That's not what I mean.

You don't deserve this, Emma.

Any of this.

I just wish there was something that I could say.

Or do to make you understand that.

I want you to know that there's something else outside that door besides

saloon.

There's another way of living.

It's a better way.

And I want to help you find it.

Everywhere I look, I see teepees. Now, they should be living in log houses by

now. Did you not get my directive, or are you simply choosing to ignore it?

don't want log houses. It would just be a waste of money. Log houses with their

beds and stove provide cleanliness and warmth, which help curb the rise in

rate on the reservation.

They have been living in teepees for hundreds of years. No, no, no, you can

me, tell me. This is where your problem is. You're allowing the Indian to

dictate the agenda instead of you doing what you're sworn to do, and that is

take charge.

Stop it! Stop!

Don't you stand there!

Take him!

Come on, get in there.

Come on.

Drink it twice, Danny, until it's gone.

Thank you, Dr. Mike.

Where am I going to stay?

I'll find you someplace.

Claw dancing.

He's been stabbed and I can't stop the bleeding.

Easy with him.

Watch it.

I didn't look on the table.

One of the branches of his splenic artery has been severed.

I'll need to apply a ligature.

You hand me the forceps, right?

The artery needs to be tied off or the hemorrhaging will continue.

Ma, are you all right?

Do you want me to get you a chair or something?

No, thank you, Colleen.

I'm afraid I have to go down for a bit.

But his condition's still period.

I'm afraid... Come here, sit down.

You all right, Mom?

I'm afraid he's lost a lot of blood.

Well, we can give him some of mine.

Transfusion's unpredictable.

There's no guarantee it'll work.

Well, last time I gave blood to Lauren.

Do we have a choice?

How's he doing?

Condition's very serious.

Well, let's hope he pulls through.

I detained the Indian that did it. He's under close guard.

I must say, I'm mighty impressed the way you handled yourself.

That man in there owes you his life.

You wouldn't be in there if your soldiers had done their job.

You're supposed to keep peace.

Keep the Warren tribes from fighting with each other.

Instead, they just looked the other way.

I wasn't aware of this. You should have been.

Because I wrote about it in my quarterly reports, but I never heard anything

back.

If you want to fix what isn't working here, why don't you start with them?

I tell you, I'll do just that.

If the garrison's a problem, I'll simply replace them, and I'll get you a more

effective movement.

Tourniquet will help increase the flow of blood.

Marty, you want to lay down?

No, I have to stay.

Monitor the amount of blood that flows through.

What do you want?

Where is she?

I just checked the clinic and she ain't there and she sure as hell didn't come

back this morning.

She ain't working for you no more.

That ain't for you to decide.

You either.

We'll see about that.

Hank.

Where you been?

Gordon. Got myself a room.

You already got a room.

I never signed a contract with you.

Always said I'd be leaving someday.

That's what they all say.

Well, I meant it.

Make yourself respect.

You'll be back.

If there's only one thing you could...

What

happened now?

Look at him.

That's good. I'll just ease it in here.

Morning, Mr. Bray.

Oh, morning, boys.

I figure it's about time I replaced Dorothy's old desk.

Looks good.

Well, is there something I can do for you?

We're looking for some dresses.

Dresses? For Colleen.

She's getting ready to go off to college, and she and Dr. Mike have been

busy, we figured they probably wouldn't have time to make her any new ones.

Well, we got plenty of dresses, not to worry. Right over here.

Well, actually, two.

The rest of them, well, usually have to be special ordered, you know,

measurements and all.

That must take time.

A week or two, give or take a month.

What happens if a lady needs a special dress right now?

Guess she'd have to make it herself.

What if she don't know how to?

With the town going and all, it'd probably be good to have a dressmaker

right here in the store.

I don't know. Well, that way if ladies wanted to buy a dress or have stitching

done, they could come in any time they wanted.

I guess.

You boys wouldn't happen to know a dressmaker looking for work, would you?

Well, actually... Morning, Mr. Bray.

What do you plan on doing with him?

I don't know yet.

Well, you can't keep him here forever.

The Indian agent has it within his power to determine the fate of any Indian in

his care.

He can ship the troublemakers off to a reservation that is specifically

to handle such people.

Agent Sully, just remember.

You're the one who decides what's best for these people.

You are the caretaker of their lives.

Any change?

No, it's 3 o 'clock.

I know.

I can't leave.

I made up the bed in the other recovery room.

Maybe you can go lay down and get some rest.

Now, you've got to understand.

Her coming to work here is not going to sit well with a lot of people in this

town. I don't care. Well, you may not care, but I do.

Those people are customers. I'm bound to lose a few when they find out I've

hired a whore.

You know.

But think of all the customers you'll get by having to just make her work in

store.

So here's what I'm willing to do.

To make up what I lose, I'll take 60 % of what you sell.

You've got to be kidding me. The way I see it... I'm doing her a favor. You

60 % a favor?

50. For now.

We'll keep track of how much business you lose or gain, then adjust the

percentage accordingly.

Sounds good to me.

Oh, it does, does it?

Well, all right.

You're going to start first thing in the morning.

Thank you, Mr. Bray.

Emma?

Emma, what's wrong?

I'll get more.

Hurry.

I gave her laudanum for the pain.

Although it appears to be subsiding on its own.

She's resting comfortably now.

What's wrong with her?

I'm not quite sure yet.

It appears that the trauma to her abdomen must have been more severe than

first thought.

I'd like to keep her here at the clinic.

So I can monitor her condition more closely.

Just rest some.

You'll get better.

I feel better already.

Pain's gone.

Yeah.

That's good.

Listen, I'm gonna... talk to Mr. Bray and, uh... I'll tell him that you'll

work as soon as you feel... Matt, dear.

I'm gonna be all right.

I know Ingrid meant a lot.

With two patients upstairs.

Is that the aeroplane?

Cloud dancing?

Yeah. Good.

We'll give it to him.

No. I will.

You're going to lie down for a while.

Come on.

You better take it easy. You've been up all night.

You're going to...

Aho. Aho.

It's good to hear you say that again.

Thank you for your blood.

Anytime.

I brought you some yarrow plant for your wound.

How are you feeling?

I felt better.

But I am still here.

What has become of two spears?

Got them locked up.

The army did this.

He almost killed you.

He was angry.

I know.

I know. And I want to help him.

But I want to help you too, everyone there.

And I'm sick of all this bloodshed.

I wish I could let him go.

Give him another chance, but I don't know if I can trust him.

You cannot trust him.

Because he cannot trust you.

Listen to me.

I'm letting you go, but you can't keep fighting with people.

You've got to try and make peace here with everyone.

The army ain't going away.

The reservations ain't going away.

It ain't right.

It ain't fair.

I know you're angry about it, but that's how it is.

You've got to find a way to make it work.

Do you understand?

All right.

Okay.

Talk to Mike.

What was Ingrid like?

She was beautiful.

Strength of her family.

Joy of Matthew's life.

She contracted rabies and died a few weeks before Thanksgiving.

It's been very difficult for Matthew ever since.

It's as if he's been searching for something to take away his sadness.

He must have loved her very much.

They were to have been married and start a family.

Great. So many plans.

Well, I guess plans don't always work out the way... Emma, what's wrong?

Do you have more pain?

Emma, if you have pain, just tell me. I can't help you.

It's going away again.

Where is it?

Stomach?

It'll go away.

There?

You're going to be all right.

Take care of yourself.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Agent Sully!

Good news.

Your request for a new army garrison has been granted, and the new unit should

be arriving any day.

All I want is for things to calm down here.

And you've taken the first step towards securing that piece, for which you

should be commended.

What was that man doing for you?

You told me to take charge, and I did. And this is how you do it? By setting a

criminal free? I was trying to earn his trust. His trust?

Now, how many times must I tell you? They don't dictate the agenda here. You

I was hired to help them, not... Setting a dangerous criminal free in the midst,

it doesn't seem like much help now, does it?

Agent Sully, your compassion for these people is admirable.

But somewhere, you must draw the line, or none of them will be helped.

None. What happened?

Is she all right? Emma began hemorrhaging.

No. I managed to stop the pain. She's going to die.

She's going to die. I know it.

The pain was lower in the abdomen than she first told me.

When she started bleeding, I did a thorough examination.

I found a growth in her uterus.

A fever?

Yes. I can operate, which always involves some risk.

But fortunately, the tumor is so small.

It appears the beating she suffered hastens the symptoms and I need to

the tumor at an earlier stage before it becomes too large to remove.

Can I see her?

Can I see her?

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

I feel I need to tell you.

In order to remove the tumor, I'll need to expurgate her uterus as well.

Emma won't be able to have children.

But she'll be alive.

helping by doing an operation?

No.

I don't want an operation.

Emma, you have to.

The tumor's going to get bigger. It might not.

It will.

Then it's going to be too late to do anything.

I'll take that chance.

You can't.

Listen to me.

I love you and I don't want to lose you. I'll be fine.

No, you won't.

You need that operation.

Stop it, Matthew.

I'm not going to let you take that chance.

I love you. Stop it, Matthew. Stop saying that.

This is my decision, not yours.

No signs of infection.

You're healing well.

I'll return to the reservation tomorrow.

Oh, if you think you're ready.

But you still need to rest.

As do others, I know.

Blacktunnel named you well.

I owe you my thanks, medicinal.

Well, I'm booked on the afternoon train out of Denver and on to Oklahoma.

Other reservations with problems of their own.

Now, can I expect a prompt resumption of your quarterly reports?

I'll write them if you read them.

I like you, Mr. Sully.

You're a true friend to the Indian.

A quality sadly lacking in many of your fellow agents.

But know this.

If you don't change the way you do things around here and take charge...

I'll be forced to send someone who will.

If that's what you want to do.

Oh, I don't want to do it. And you don't want it either.

Because the person I send may not be their friend.

And where does that leave them?

Good luck, sir.

I never wanted kids before.

I never figured I'd make a good mom.

At least that's what my mom used to say.

The past few months I've been feeling different.

You are.

Kind of made me wonder.

I never wanted any of this to happen.

I wasn't looking to find him.

Now I'm going to lose him.

No, you won't.

He wants a wife, a family.

And now he's never going to look at me the same way.

Please let me operate

Be right out.

Don't worry, Emma.

You're in good hands.

Where is he going?

Another reservation.

The decision wasn't... Mine.

That could be me someday.

No.

Two spirits was causing trouble. I had no choice.

There is always a choice.

Thank you, Stoney.

Man giving you problems.

Who are you?

Sergeant O 'Connor, United States Army. We're the new garrison you ordered.

I understand you're having some trouble with your Indian.

Well, don't worry.

As of right now, your troubles are over.

She's still unconscious.

You can see her now.

Thank you.

You all right?

I'm all good.

He loved her.

I know.

Are you all right with that?

I just hate seeing him get hurt.

There's too much of that around.

How's Cloud dancing?

He's resting like you told him to.

New Army garrison arrived today.

You think they'll do their job in time?

Maybe. Maybe too good.

I just don't know how much longer I'm going to be able to do mine.

Come here.

What is that, a foot?

I'm thinking a knee.

Sully, I've also been wondering...

How much longer I can continue my job.

I mean, closing the clinic early is a nice idea, but it's proving impossible.

I mean, I can't shut the door of people who are hurt or sick.

Let the baby come.

What are you going to do?

I'm starting to think that maybe I should consider...

Getting some help and the doctor Can't do

this alone

You just read it.
