You, Michaela, that's exactly how I felt about it. I should have waited until I

got back. Then we would have lost our hope. You don't know that.

Ellie, you made a promise to me.

You said you'd never let us lose the homestead.

Why don't I owe that same promise to you? Because it's different.

Why?

Because I'm supposed to take care of things. Why?

Because you're the man?

The husband?

Does that make you more responsible than I?

Sully, you said it yourself, but whatever happens to you happens to me.

We face everything together.

You shouldn't have done it, that's all.

Well, now we're still in debt, except now I'm in debt to a friend.

Well, that's better than Preston.

Sully, don't blame Michaela. She didn't want to take the money. I insisted. Why?

You knew I was handling things. Yes, I did.

If you could have seen how I found her.

In the middle of the night.

Downstairs.

By the fire, sick with worry.

Can't you understand?

I had to do something.

I'm paying you back.

Every cent.

So that's your first payment.

It is a beautiful day, Reverend.

Cloud dancing?

Yes.

Perhaps you would enjoy a short walk outside.

Lauren stays real busy till the afternoon.

By yourself?

Oh, yes. Well, I have been out by myself before.

Reverend, you've lived in this town for many years.

Your mind will see which I cannot.

I suppose.

And should you lose your way, surely your friends and neighbors will guide

home. Here.

Your stuff ain't selling anymore.

Not selling?

Somebody bought... It ain't selling, and it takes up too much room in my store.

So, I don't suppose now you'll have much reason to come into town anymore, will

you?

Cloud dancing.

Cloud dancing.

I... You... You've got to forgive me for the other day.

I had an unexpected deadline.

Deadline?

Work that must be finished by a certain time.

I hope you can understand.

I do understand.

Fine work, Billy, but slow down. Mr. James ain't picking up his horse till

tomorrow. Just want to get it done, that's all.

That drive turn out all right?

Yep.

Rancher kept his word.

Good. Can't put you here for a while.

That should do it.

I won't need to take on so much more work.

Robert E., if you don't need my help around here... I do. Sure I do.

Because I don't want you just finding things. No, I got plenty for you to do,

Sully. All I'm saying is you did that back.

Yeah, so?

You hardly spend any time with your family, and here you're working like you

a farm.

I'm doing all right, though. I know, but... Maybe you want to spend more time

home, especially now that you got Daniel busy.

I got debts I got to pay back.

So when you're finished here, I can use the hand with the horse.

Yeah.

Sure thing.

Robert E.

Thank you.

I came to help Sully, and all I did was bring him trouble.

Well, you asked it with the best of intentions.

Well, it didn't work out.

So you've had a disagreement.

No contention with your dearest friend. There's no reason to pack up and go.

I don't think Sully wants me sticking around here.

Yes, he does.

Your friendship's very important.

It's very important to me, too. There's all the more reason to stay.

I should go.

Looks responsible for all this.

It ain't your fault.

None of this would have happened if I hadn't taken the money.

I feel as if I've... I've come between the two of you and... I can't bear that.

Please.

Stay and talk to Sally.

Do it for me.

Still lingering around the livery?

It's called working.

But why?

Your debt's been paid.

You can go back to doing whatever it is that you normally do.

Don't be so sensitive, Sully.

I'm just wondering why you're still doing Robert E.'s scrap work.

He must really need the money.

That's right.

Why don't you just borrow some more from your rich friend?

Because I'm paying him back.

Oh, it's just wounded pride then, is it?

You left home to provide for your wife and family, only to find that your best

friend stepped in and took your place.

Nobody took my place.

Poor choice of words.

Forgive me.

I'm just thinking, Sully, why should you waste your time and skill here working

for pennies?

You had something to say. You just say it. All right.

How would you like to build an entire house?

Create the design, use the finest materials, be completely in charge, and

enough money to pay your friend back in one lump sum.

Who's hiring?

I'd like to move in by the summer.

Sully, you're the craftsman.

Just indulge me and take these thoughts into consideration.

We can discuss the final plans once you've taken a look.

All right.

I am so pleased you'll be working for me.

You're working for him?

Yes, I am.

Robert E. told me you were down here. Why are you doing this?

I build his house to get your money back. Yes? And I'll finally be the proud

owner of an original Byron Sully.

You dead set on this?

I am.

Then I'm helping you.

Yes, Sully, I'm staying. There's no arguments here.

We're going to finish this thing together.

Then you can pay me back what you owe me.

Excuse me.

You want to help him build my house so that he can pay you back?

That's right.

What kind of people are you?

Friend.

Fine piece of property.

Yeah.

Preston came to town.

Found out where the best piece of land was and made sure he owned it.

Well, the view sure is pretty.

Yeah.

A lot of folks used to like to come out here and enjoy it.

In fact, a lot of folks used to sit and eat this tree right here.

Preston cut it down.

Sounds like you got a long list of grievances against this fella.

Well, it ain't like I'm keeping track.

But... No.

Of course not.

Come on, let's get to it.

All right.

Ah, bone feels strong, Dr. Mike.

And hardly any scar.

You've done some real fine stitching.

Thank you.

I don't want you to do any heavy lifting for the next six weeks.

After that, you can do everything normally.

Although, you may experience a dull ache when it rains.

You mean my arm's going to tell me about the weather?

That's right.

What's this?

A belt.

The mind services.

A bill?

I'm sure you'll find everything in order.

Compound fracture, setting the bone, closing the wound, and all of your

-up visits, including today's.

Three dollars.

I do believe I've charged you a fair price.

But I was hoping... I mean, my wife was planning to bake you some of her apple

pie. And that would have been very nice.

My family have always enjoyed them, but...

I really must require payment in cash from now on.

But $3, Dr. Mike. I can't afford to pay you that right now.

I understand.

What can you afford to pay me now?

Mr. Perkins, surely the price of a healed arm is worth at least as much as

cigar.

I got about a dollar on me.

They're going to do it for now.

That'll be fine.

I'll give you a receipt.

The place in the bay window here?

That's what we talked about. You said you wanted to be able to see the sun

up. Well, I've given it some more thought, you know, and I'd really prefer

see the sunset.

The bay window will take left.

Just a few more minor changes.

Perhaps you should follow me.

I think the portion's very nice.

Luminary layout is very, very good.

Daniel!

Taylor?

I couldn't wait to come and tell you and Sally.

I got paid today.

In cash money.

Well, congratulations.

Well, it was difficult for me to insist, and I didn't enjoy it, but... But it

feels good to get paid for your work? Oh, yes.

Yes, it does.

What I'd really like is an entirely separate room with cabinets and shelves

room for a desk.

A study.

Another room. Yes.

And I think now's a good time to discuss the scheduling change.

What scheduling change?

I want my house completed in four months.

Four months? Don't be alarmed, Sully.

I'm offering you a 10 % bonus, a little incentive, if you finish the work on

time.

If you don't, I'll begin deducting wages with each day you run late.

That ain't what we agreed upon, Preston.

Well, surely this deadline shouldn't be a problem.

After all, you have your best friend to help you.

Well, now, that should warm your heart, Sully, to see your best friend and your

wife getting along so well.

I imagine they got to know each other quite well while you were away.

I want to thank you, Daniel, for staying here and making things right with

Billy.

Sure thing.

Mr. Harriman.

Mr. Harriman, you haven't bought your paper this week.

Good afternoon,

Dorothy. Are you all right to be... Yes, I'm fine.

I've walked this road so many times I could do it blind.

Well, it's nice to see... I mean, it's good that you're out enjoying the day.

Well, you can't spend every hour just sitting in Lauren's store.

I know how that can be.

Would you mind walking with me just a little bit? Keep the horses out of my

Oh, why, sure.

Thank you.

Sounded like old Mr. Harriman was not in a very friendly mood today.

Oh, well, he...

No, he wasn't.

Dorothy,

my being blind doesn't keep me from knowing what's going on in this town.

Reverend, whatever people are saying or thinking, it just isn't true. I'm not

asking if it's true.

You know, the strange thing about my blindness, sometimes I think that it's

helped me to see things more clearly than ever.

What do you mean?

I mean, since I can't see how a person looks anymore, what they're wearing, or

the color of their skin, nothing on the outside much matters to me.

See, now it seems like I can see right past all that.

Kind of like inside people.

To their very heart and soul.

Sounds like a wonderful thing.

Oh, I can be.

With a man like Cloud Dancing, for instance.

It was him who suggested I take these walks more often.

What?

That's right.

You know, I never really took the time to get to know him before, but

now I can see that cloud dancing is a very kind and loving soul.

And I feel lucky just knowing him.

Thanks for walking with me, Dorothy.

Oh, I was happy too.

Kayla! You're early.

So, how'd the rest of your day go?

Well, I put 26 stitches in Mr. Bailey's leg.

That's three cents a stitch, but... I'll get my things.

Afternoon, gentlemen.

Miss Dorothy?

Miss Dorothy, nice to see you.

Sully, I understand the two of you are building Preston's house.

That's right.

Well, would you consider fixing a special lock on it so we can keep

inside now and then?

As long as I get to hang on to the key.

Daniel, would you help?

Sure.

Thanks.

Here.

See you in the morning, Dorothy.

All right, Michaela.

Gentlemen. Dorothy.

Shelby.

The

battle

wore on, long after the moonlight first danced across the silvery lake.

But in the end, only one man stood, the wise and noble knight.

With a bow to his countrymen, he climbed onto his white horse and rode off

silently into the night.

That's it.

It's wonderful, Brian. Very descriptive.

It's real exciting.

It's your best one yet, Brian.

Thanks. Well, you have school tomorrow.

I know.

Good night, Daniel. Good night. Good night, Brian.

Good night, Mom.

Good night, folks.

Good night, Brian.

Would you like to play?

I'll play you.

I know how.

Oh, I know you do. You're a good player, but... You've just got to leave the

board out more often, else I don't think to ask you.

Well, I'd love to play chess with you.

I think I'll turn in.

Oh, it's still early.

Daniel, why don't you wait around?

Well, he hasn't played in a while, and...

The game might not last for very long.

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

No, I'm, uh... I'm tired.

All right, then.

I'll make us some coffee.

Good night, Michaela. Good night, Daniel.

Careful, they're hot.

Thank you.

Thanks.

You smell good, Ma.

You doing anything special at school today, Brian?

Yeah. We're starting a new chapter.

On explorers.

Of course.

Well, that sounds very interesting.

Sully, how long is it going to take you to build Mr. Lodge's house?

A few months.

That means you'll be here for a while.

Brian, that's an awful long time for a visit. I think I'll just find a place in

town to stay.

I can manage that house by myself if you want to go.

No.

Sully, I promised you I'd help you, and I want to help you.

Well, you're welcome to stay here as long as you like, Daniel.

You're a wonderful house guest.

You're like family.

Thank you.

Michaela, thank you.

Sure, you can stay here as long as you like.

Well, Sully and Daniel were very quiet.

Quiet's not unusual for Sully.

I mean extremely quiet.

I thought this whole fuck about the money was over, but obviously not for

I felt such an anger brewing in him.

Toward you?

No, no, toward Daniel.

Well, if anything, he was more attentive to me.

That's why he wanted to play chess.

Chet? Well, he was so eager to play, and I've never known him to be interested

before.

Before Daniel arrived.

Michaela, I think Sully is jealous.

Jealous? Of you and Daniel. Oh, Dorothy.

I think Daniel is falling in love with you.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

Well, maybe you don't see it, but Sully clearly has seen something.

And...

I did, too.

When they came to pick you up yesterday, a simple thing like helping you on with

your coat, it made Daniel so uncomfortable.

Oh, no, that's not... And when you got into the wagon, the way he looked at

Sully, afraid to touch your hand.

No, absolutely not. Daniel's Sully's best friend. It's not possible.

Michaela, sometimes when we're right, in the middle of a situation.

You can't see how it's coming across.

Or you may perceive what you like, but it does not make it true.

Yes, I suppose you're right.

But maybe what folks see is true.

And you just don't want to accept it.

Didn't expect to see you here.

Sully sent me into town to buy some lumber.

Michaela, there's something I need to talk to you about. Do you have a minute?

Certainly.

I don't really know quite where to start, but... Daniel, I just remembered.

I have an appointment to prepare for.

Could we talk about this later?

Sure.

See you back at the house then.

Yes.

I hope I'm not intruding, Cloud Dancer.

As you see, I am very busy.

I came to apologize for not meeting you that day.

You had a deadline.

No.

No, I didn't, Cloud Dancer. That was just an excuse.

I chose not to come.

The folks in town...

Don't understand how I can... They don't think it's right that

you and me, you and I, have been spending time together for my book.

My people also do not approve.

Then you understand.

That we both live with people who are foolish.

It's just that I've enjoyed doing our interviews.

Talks.

I've enjoyed having our talks.

Very much.

So have I.

And when I think about them being over... Well, my research is almost

done. Then we will no longer speak.

Oh, yes, we'll speak, Cloud Dancing, when I see you.

I think that's what's been bothering me more than the town's gossip.

It's that when my research is done and I start writing the book,

there won't be any real reason to see you.

Were there?

Have folks been seeing something we don't?

About us?

Oh, it's nonsense.

No. We must consider about us.

What are we to each other?

Dinner's real good tonight, Dr. Mike. Thank you, Matthew.

Glad to join us.

Wouldn't miss it.

I saw Ben Marcus in town today.

Ben Marcus?

How is he?

Oh, he's fine.

And his family?

They're doing fine, too.

Said to send his regard.

Mr. Bray's been talking about making some big changes at the store.

Is that right, Brian?

What kind of changes?

Oh, moving stuff around.

What kind of stuff?

You know.

Another fine meal, Michaela.

Would you excuse me?

Sure.

Daniel? I didn't want to wake you. What are you doing?

I figure it's time I moved on now.

You're leaving?

Think it's best?

In the middle of the night?

You must say goodbye to Sully. You can't leave now.

Please, don't go.

What's going on?

What are you two doing down here?

I was just leaving.

Good.

Ursula, you don't mean that. Yes, I do.

I think the way you've been looking at her.

Ursula.

Go on, tell her.

Are you denying it?

What you waiting for?

Sully, I don't know what to do.

Morning, Rittman. Dorothy.

Gentlemen. Miss Fowler.

Morning, Miss Davis.

So, uh, is that it?

Let me see now.

You're gonna find me some of that Injun -made stuff. I told you I don't carry

that anymore.

I want some of them soft moccasins.

Dorothy, you got some sort of personal connection with them Injuns, don't you?

Maybe you can find me a good deal on some moccasins.

I'm a journalist, Hank.

I'm not in the shoe business.

How about that cloud dancing fella?

Maybe he could help.

I'm sure cloud dancing would be very happy to assist you. Oh, you're sure

Well, he's doing real good.

As a matter of fact, I do.

Cloud dancing is a gentleman.

And I'm proud to call him my friend.

And I'm going to keep on seeing him when I like.

And where I like.

And if anybody don't approve, and I mean anybody, then that's

just too bad.

Dorothy, have you seen Sully this morning?

You're looking all over for him.

No, Michaela, I haven't. What's wrong?

Dorothy, something terrible happened last night.

You were right.

Sully believes Daniel has feelings for me.

Oh, dear.

He became so upset, he walked out.

He just needs some time to cool off.

I can't find him anywhere.

What could he be thinking?

Michaela, Sully loves you.

I've never seen a man so devoted to his wife. He'll be home.

Now, don't you worry.

Those benches must have been very uncomfortable.

I slept at the Gold Nugget.

We didn't happen to find Sully there.

Did he leave home?

Michaela, I'm so sorry about all this.

The last thing I wanted was to make trouble for you and Sully.

Let's go find him.

Tell him what nonsense he's been thinking. How absurd this is.

Can't do that, Michaela.

Why not?

Because it ain't nonsense.

What Sully's been thinking is true.

No.

You were the finest woman I've ever met.

Don't tell you, please.

Sully is the best friend I've ever had.

That's why I gotta go.

Kayla.

I want to catch him before he left.

I'll be at home.

I'm the luckiest man in the world, Sully.

I wish nothing but every happiness to you both.

I never meant for this to happen.

This couldn't help my feelings.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

Seems like we always... So many miles between us.

No, it don't matter.

All aboard!

Say goodbye to Matthew for me.

Brian and Katie.

I miss them.

They're going to miss you, too.

Let you know where I am.

Yes.

You better.

I'm paying you back.

You bet you are.

Every last cent.

So glad that you're home.

It's the only place I want to be.
