Trains early.

Day of holding.

Michaela, Dully.

Good morning, Andrew.

Thanks for meeting us here.

My pleasure.

Brian, Sally might need your help with Katie this afternoon.

All right.

me. My name is William Prenderly. I was told that a carriage would be meeting me

here to take me to the hotel.

Nobody told me nothing about it.

Well, is there a place I could rent a rig? Prenderly!

Sorry I'm late.

So many last minute details.

This way.

Oh, Mom.

She looks more like you every day.

You think so?

I do.

Let me see.

She definitely has your smile.

Well, she has Sully's eyes.

Well, no one could ever mistake whose child she is, that's for sure.

Well, I suppose we should get started.

I still can't believe Preston convinced the American Medical Society to have

their convention here.

Well, it's only the Western Division.

Still, isn't it exciting?

Well, what's exciting is you're here, and we're going to the convention

together. We'd better get going. I don't want to be late.

I'll be back by supper. Be good, girl.

Mind the paw.

Oh, Katie, looks like you're going to be spending the afternoon with your pa.

If you and me, huh?

What do you think about that, huh?

Huh?

Brian!

This letter just come for you.

For me?

Oh, she is looking more like you and Dr. Mike every day. That's what folks been

saying. Well, I got to get back to work. Lots to do today.

Thanks, horse.

Who's sending you mail?

It's from my pa.

Aren't you going to open it?

Maybe I'll wait till we get home.

All right.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Here you go, Katie.

You can play with your bunny now.

Welcome, gentlemen.

Welcome to the convention.

Spring Chateau Health, Tony.

Preston's selling his own tonic.

And many health bars around the world are doing the same.

Andrew Cook.

Yeah.

William Prenderly.

I write a column for the American Medical Society Journal.

Yes, yes, of course. How do you do? I'd like to do an interview with you about

your clinic for the journal.

Certainly.

Oh, you know, Michaela Quinn, the first woman doctor admitted to the Medical

Society.

How do you do?

Mr. Prendley.

Could we find a quiet spot somewhere? Of course.

You'll excuse me?

Of course.

I think things must be working out well for Andrew.

Yes, it does.

Kitty?

And the man from the medical journal did an interview on Andrew.

It'll be a next week's issue.

Sounds like a successful day, huh? Andrew, would you like to take dinner?

I'm sure it's no bother. No bother at all.

Sully! Ma, come quick! I need your help!

Brian, what's wrong?

I can't find Katie anywhere.

Katie?

Katie?

Katie?

Here she is.

Hello.

I guess you just decided to take a little nap, that's all.

They can get away from me so quickly at this age.

That's why I've got to watch them so carefully, Brian.

I'm sorry.

Did you take a little nap?

I love what you said up there.

Hey,

Brian. Need some help?

I'm finished.

Put two nails in each rail?

I know how to do it.

All right. Just checking.

Sully? I thought you said you didn't like fences.

I don't.

So why'd we build one?

Ain't as much free range as there used to be. Don't want our animals wandering

on somebody else's property.

Better get going. You don't want to be late for school.

I won't.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Hey, you want to go fishing?

I can't. Gotta watch Katie this afternoon.

Anthony, you ever think about your real pa?

What do you mean?

Well, do you ever wonder where he is?

Or if you'll ever see him again someday?

Someday? Why think about someday?

Well, because he's your pa, that's why.

I like things pretty good just the way they are.

Hey, what's that?

You're supposed to be able to make a fire with a piece of glass.

Anthony? Brian?

Let me have that, please.

Sorry, Miss Frieza.

We were just experimenting. What you are doing was dangerous.

Do you understand?

Yes, ma 'am.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what to do.

I spent so much time trying to get these plants to grow. And look.

Everything's just ruined.

It's going to take forever.

Kayla.

Come on, girl.

Come on, girl.

Time's over. Let's go. Come on.

These weren't nailed in all the way.

If you're gonna do a job, you need to do it right.

Sorry.

Sorry is fine.

But it took your mom months to grow those plants from seeds.

I said I was sorry.

Just trying to help. Brian!

Katie, sleep.

Right.

You say anything to me about the letter you got? Letter?

What letter?

From your pa. Came yesterday.

Well, you never mentioned it to me.

Me either.

It's not like him to keep things from us.

You ready for your cup yet?

I'm not hungry.

Dad, you received a letter from Ethan.

What did he say?

Dear Brian, I received your letter.

Glad to hear all is well in Colorado Springs.

We're doing fine.

San Francisco is a beautiful city.

Perhaps one day you will be able to see it yourself.

Guess that's all from here.

Your father.

Ethan Cooper.

Who do you think I look like?

My ma or my pa?

I would have to say that you look a little like both of them.

You miss your father?

I don't know.

Sometimes.

Why would he even write to him?

He wasn't going to say, I love you, or I miss you.

You know, Ethan, he's never been one to think about anyone but himself.

Can you imagine how Brian must feel?

When my pa died, I was real angry at him.

Sometimes at night I'd go down to the dock and yell up into the sky.

Tell him how much I hated him for leaving us.

Some ways I think it was easier for me than for Brian.

What do you mean?

I never had to wonder if he was coming back.

Or if he loved me or I loved him. He was just gone.

I've been thinking and thinking about what I could say to Brian.

Besides telling him how much we love him, which we tell him all the time.

I don't suppose you can tell him too often.

No.

Maybe, besides just telling him, we should show him, too.

Meet me at Lawrence today after school.

What for?

I got a project I want to get started and I need your help.

What kind of project?

You'll see.

All right.

I'll meet you there.

You know, when Preston first came up with the idea of the Spring Chateau

tonic, I was completely opposed to prescribing it as medicine.

I can understand why.

It's 80 % alcohol.

I know it sounds a bit excessive at first.

You're not suggesting alcohol is a curative.

Not in and of itself, of course not, no. But when combined with certain herbs...

Andrew!

Mark, this day is the most significant day in the history of the Spring

Let me present Mr. Harry B. Smith, who has come here to take the waters and to

consult with you about his health. I'm Mr. Smith.

How do you do, sir? Who needs no introduction?

Dr. Cook would be more than happy to reschedule his stay to be at your

sir.

Splendid.

Splendid.

It turns out Harry B. Smith knows half the land in Colorado Territory.

Yes, I've heard of him. He has lots and lots of rich friends.

Just the sort of patient Press has been looking for.

What are his symptoms?

Fatigue, aches, pains, menopause.

Oh, it doesn't sound too serious.

Andrew says he just needs rest.

But to listen to Harry B. Smith talk about it, he's a death door.

He's expecting Preston's gadgets and tonics to make him a new man.

Well, at least they won't harm him.

Poor Andrew.

Could you imagine, Ma, spending all your time treating people with nothing at

all wrong with them?

I agree.

Andrew's a promising, talented young doctor. I hope he doesn't lose sight of

that.

Would you look after Katie for me?

I promised Kelly I'd meet him and Brian after school.

Of course.

By the way, I won't be home for supper tonight.

Oh? Yes.

Andrew invited me to dine with him tonight at the hotel.

Oh.

You see, this is a replica of a famous old house in San Francisco.

San Francisco?

You think Katie would like this?

I guess.

Well, I know she would.

And the thing is, it's a brand new item. Just came in.

After you get it built from the plan, see, you can order a whole lot of extra

doodads to go inside and fix it up. You know, little bits of furniture and

paintings for the wall and stuff like that.

How much?

Two dollars.

But I can let you have it for the special promotional price of a dollar

half. I'm afraid, Nat, we weren't planning on spending that much.

How much were you planning on spending?

Two bits.

A quarter?

The plans alone are worth a quarter.

We'll take the plans.

I can't sell the plans.

That's the difference. Nobody's buying the stuff anyway. Go ahead.

Oh, Sully, look.

That rocking chair.

Almost exactly the same as ours.

I spent hours rocking Katie's lead in that chair.

Oh, I didn't mean to show you that catalog.

We even found a few hours to rock you, too, when you were younger. Do you

remember? Yeah.

That's not a good catalog.

It's only a nickel.

Perhaps you could order it. You can't order anything from that catalog. I told

you. Why not?

You just can't, and that's the end of it.

There's got to be a good reason, Lorne. Oh, there's a reason, all right. The

reason is Clarence Sprague over in Manitou is the exclusive distributor for

everything sold in that catalog.

Well, how can a storekeeper be the exclusive distributor when this is a

How? I'll tell you how. He's a conniving, lying, cheating, no -good son

I can't order anything for you from it, and that's all there is to it.

Well, first we'll get the house built.

Then we'll, uh... Where's the chair?

There you go.

Bye, Mr. Bray. Thanks for the plans. How

long

have I been on this contraction?

Two minutes.

Two minutes?

And a half.

You're doing very well, sir.

Excuse me.

How's the patient?

A tour of the facility sent him to his bed for a nap.

But he has managed nearly three minutes on the exercise.

How long now?

I think that's long enough

for your first visit.

Easy?

You know, I hate to admit it, but I believe I'm beginning to feel a bit

already.

Well, that's the spirit.

I'd like you to take two tablespoons of this before retiring.

What's this?

Well, it will help you... sleep.

All right, I'll see you first thing in the morning, young man. Just a moment.

You also might want to try combing a few drops of this through your hair in the

morning. It's a scalp stimulator.

What in tarnation's a scalp stimulator?

Restores vigor and increases brain activity.

Andrew.

That's what it says.

I'll take it.

Renews romantic appetite.

Good day.

Andrew.

There is power in positive thinking, Colleen.

I do believe I've even heard Dr. Michaela Quinn discourse on it from time

time.

May I escort you to the dining room?

You need some help?

You can't do this stuff.

Of course you can, Brian.

Maybe you should do it yourself.

So it'll be right.

What are you talking about? You build things all the time. Come on.

I can't do it like this, Billy.

Brian? I'm going to bed.

Look what I found.

Mama uses it for reading the Bible.

Yeah?

So I bet we can start a fire for sure with this.

Yeah.

Come on.

A

little

more to the left.

No, right, right there.

Gotta get the angle just right.

I know.

Here, let me try.

It's working.

What name will you think of?

Don't believe it.

He could have burnt down the entire town.

But he didn't, thankfully.

I just don't know what to expect from him next.

We're going to get in trouble for this.

Don't worry.

We'll be back before school's out. They'll never even know we've been gone.

What about Mr. Eason?

I'll explain it to him.

You're always saying how you want to go first. It's too late.

Come on.

Now, what's the important matter to anyone?

I gotta get a rocking chair for Mom.

A rocking chair?

Not a real one, a miniature one.

It's important to me.

I have a feeling this is not a good idea.

Come on.

Good morning, and welcome to the final day of this convention.

Before turning the floor over to our esteemed Dr. Andrew Cook, I'd like to

introduce a surprise speaker, a titan of industry, a friend of Colorado, and a

man who has contributed generously to the American Medical Society, Mr. Harry

Smith.

Thank you, Mr. Lodge.

As many of you know, I've been in pretty poor health these past few years.

But my stay at the Spring Chateau has been nothing short of miraculous.

I believe that Preston Lodge has truly found the fountain of youth.

And a genius to run it.

Dr. Andrew Cook.

We should have at least tried to sneak on the train at the station.

The guard was watching the whole time.

I know, but we could have... Anthony, it's easy to hop the train.

We can do it.

Do you remember what your paw looks like?

I don't mean Robert E. I mean your real paw.

I don't know what you've been talking about the last couple of days, but

E. is my real paw.

I got this in the mail.

Yeah?

You think I look like him?

I don't know.

Can't tell nothing from the picture.

You know how a person walks, or how they talk, or how they laugh, or what things

they say.

None of that stuff.

Mom says I look like him.

I think you look like Sally.

I do?

To me, yeah.

I was thinking.

About going up to San Francisco?

Living with my... With Ethan Cooper.

Why?

Ma and Sally, they have Katie now. She's their real daughter.

Maybe. Maybe what?

Here comes the train!

So this tonic is a formula that you put together yourself.

Myself? No, I recommended certain herbs, but you do endorse it.

Well, yes, depending on the presenting symptoms, of course.

So you're not willing to say that this is a cure for everyone?

Excuse me. For the record, exactly, who would benefit the most?

Ali? Taylor?

Really something, huh?

Yes, very exciting.

But... Well, in your speech, you gave the impression that the Spring Chateau

tonic was a cure of some sort.

Ah, a cure. Well, who's to say what a cure is, exactly?

I mean, it seems to work for certain people.

Well, Andrew, you know it has no medical value whatsoever.

No medical value?

Well, I admit it's a bit of a forerunner, Michaela. A forerunner?

Fairly new to the materia medica.

Well, it's not new at all.

Blessed ethical practitioners have been selling panaceas to unsuspecting

patients for years.

If a patient thinks it can do some good, maybe it can. Well, it's certainly a

positive attitude. It can help in healing.

But physicians, they must never lie to their patients or to themselves.

And what you're selling as medicine is alcohol. And willow bark.

And dogwood and bayberry, the same ingredients you dispense to your

Well, that's different.

Why? Because you're not making a profit on it?

I'm not concerned with profit, Andrew. I'm concerned with honesty and

Qualities I've always seen in you.

Ryan's missing. Mr. Reese says he never showed up for school today. He's not at

home. He's not in town.

Grace, how long have they been gone?

Since early this morning. Anthony had breakfast and left for school, and

the last we saw of him.

I hope they took any provisions.

No, no, Anthony didn't.

Going out to look for him. Anthony's gone too. Probably gone off with him.

Where? Why? I don't know.

We'll wait here in case he comes back home. Yeah, of course.

Come

on,

Brian.

Wake up.

A rocking chair.

Brian, are you all right?

Wait.

Yeah.

I'm all right.

I thought... I thought... I didn't know what to think.

I have a feeling they're going to know we've been gone before we get back.

Come on. Let's go.

Anybody?

Not yet.

You've been gone so long.

Sully's taught Brian how to survive in the wilderness.

I'm certain they'll be all right until... You know, before Anthony

came into our lives, I'd given up on having children.

I'd grieved as hard as any one person could, and then one day I accepted it.

Just like that.

There was some peace in not worrying about it anymore.

Then, wouldn't you know it, Anthony came along.

And, of course, you know that life with Anthony turned out to be a letting go

every day.

First, I thought it was a cruel trick, finally, to have this child to raise

bright, handsome child.

It's an illness that could take them at any time.

After a while, you come to understand that no one really knows when their time

is going to come.

They're tired and they're hungry, but they're all right.

Mom. Brian.

Anthony.

Looks like I'm going to have a mighty clean livery for the next few months.

I'm going to head on home then. I'll see you in the morning.

Thank you, Matthew. Good night.

Good night.

Good night, Zoe.

I thought I'd be back before anyone noticed I was gone.

Why would you go anywhere without telling us?

I wanted it to be a surprise.

Brian, you ran off without even stopping to think of how you're going to worry

your mom.

It's not like that. You skipped school and you snuck onto a train.

You don't understand.

I understand.

No, you don't. I understand that you two boys could have been hurt or worse.

You don't understand anything.

And I don't have to listen to you either. You're not my pa.

I don't know what you must be thinking.

About Ethan and Sully.

Me, for that matter.

Maybe you think that since Kate was born that we don't love her as much.

Is that what's bothering you?

I just want you to know that there isn't a moment or a second that goes by that

you're not...

That Sully and I love you.

So much.

More than you can ever imagine.

And we always will.

You know, I've been lying here thinking about that fence we just built.

But I guess sometimes you do.

It keeps things straight between the neighbors.

It defines things, you mean.

Kind of like rules.

You run into them before you trample on somebody else's territory.

And before you run off a cliff.

Today at Preston's, I thought Andrew was setting aside his principal for money.

And perhaps I was wrong.

I thought it was possible that he doesn't even know what his principals

If no one ever helped him to define them.

You mean nobody ever took the time to teach him how to build a fence?

Hmm.

Ma, I went to Manitou to get this for you.

From the catalog?

Sorry if I worried you.

I didn't mean to.

I know you didn't.

Sully and I have been talking.

About what?

About a lot of things.

About you growing up, taking on responsibility.

About us making sure you know what that means.

What it comes down to is that we're going to have some new rules around

Rules?

That's right.

What kind of rules?

Well, for starters, you skip school again, you take away all your privileges

a month.

A month?

And those privileges include going fishing with your friends and working on

Gazette.

And I expect you to work here with your ma in the garden every Saturday.

Every Saturday?

So the new plants are in and they're taking root.

I said I'm sorry.

I know you did.

Then why are you doing this?

Because I'm your pa.
