Ryan.

Well, how did that look?

Oh, you got the spot out all right.

I suppose you're going to have to teach me how to patch now.

Your mom said you had a machine in Boston that did the wash.

I also had indoor plumbing.

What's that?

Well, the outhouse is inside.

And there are clay pipes that run under the city and carry everything away.

Amazing.

Yeah. Oh, dear.

Boys, we need more water here. Right.

Hey, look what you did. Matthew.

Get this off.

All right.

Put that down.

Brian, no. Brian.

Don't do it, Brian.

that wagon train, Sergeant?

Eight, sir.

Take some men and attack from the east.

Yes, sir.

I'll send some Indians to help!

Coming with you.

Let's go.

How many of you speak English?

I'm looking for some good, clean, Christian girls who know how to dance.

You can talk to a fella if need be, or listen.

And my girls have to be of good moral character.

All right, then.

Because I won't tolerate... Any hanky -panky at my hurdy -gurdy. Is that

understood? Yes.

All right.

You, you, you, you,

you, you, you.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

All right, now you come along.

Come on, we ain't got all day.

Back up your mind, boy. You'd think this was the Louisiana Purchase.

Liquorice buttons, please.

Two cents worth.

You're sure now.

Gumdrops. But only the green ones.

Take out some

tasteful and ladylike.

Nothing red.

You can take them over to Emily's and she can start fitting them for dresses.

Yes, Miss Olive.

Lauren, where are you?

Here he is.

Why?

It's a good thing I came back in time to protect my investment in this store.

Just look at these books. What's gotten into you lately? What's gotten into you?

Wanting to open up a dance hall with a... Bunch of Viking maidens. It's not a

dance hall. It's a hurdy -gurdy. And they got them all over Texas. It's a

perfectly respectable money -making venture. Well, they got longhorns all

Texas, too.

Matthew, I want you to help me with these packages.

I'm going to need some help building the dance floor. Are you interested?

Matthew. Yes, ma 'am.

I'll pay you a nickel an hour.

I'll feed you lunch.

And you can choose one of those girls for a free dance the night we open.

You want the child?

I think that was a yes.

That ain't all it was.

We're ready to go.

I don't think Mr. Bray likes me much.

I don't believe Mr. Bray likes anybody right now.

Why?

Because he's not happy.

Why? Look at all the candy he has.

I believe Mr. Bray misses his wife.

I miss my ma sometimes.

I do too.

You know how to play the harmonica?

No.

Sergeant, we'll leave porters in town. Speed to it. Sir.

I have men that need tending to, sir.

Bring them inside.

The Indians as well. I want them alive to question them.

Matthew, wait here with Brian.

Bring that fellow over here. Right here.

Him. Over here.

Put him on the floor.

Excuse me. Right here.

Excuse me, please.

Please, let me in.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave. This is not a place for women.

I'm Dr. Quinn. I'm a surgeon.

Quinn, is it?

Shillington told me about you.

I'm sure he did.

I'm General Custer.

Mr. Slicker, would you like some assistance?

As long as you don't get in the way.

Blacksmith here, sir.

I need two sets of irons.

Ten feet of chain, key locks if you have them. How soon can you have that ready?

Sorry, I can't help you, General.

Can't or won't?

I ain't very good at making chains.

They always seem to break.

You, uh, best look for another blacksmith.

Is there another blacksmith in town?

Don't believe so.

Purple Hill knows how to work iron, doesn't he, Sergeant?

Yes, sir.

I'll need someone to help me take this man, that man, and this man, my client,

down the street. I'll see to them later.

They'll need water and try to make them comfortable.

What the hell are you doing?

This man's more seriously wounded. You will take care of my men first.

Sergeant, lock these Indians up in the livery.

No, no, please, you can't.

He'll die if I don't do something for him immediately.

No! You will take care of my men first.

Or this one will die now.

Now.

They ought to take Cloud Dancer to the fort. Suppose them dog soldiers decide

attack. Them dog soldiers are nothing but a bunch of cowardly renegades. They

haven't got the guts to attack the whole town. Good sermon, Reverend.

Jake, hold up. I want to talk to you about being in a... May I have a word

you? Sure.

Perhaps now's not the best time to be opening your dance hall.

Oh, hurdy -gurdy. There's a big difference. Well, now, that may be, but

considering the soldiers... Oh, my girls will always dance a Bible with the

part. Now, speaking of which...

There are some people who say there should not be dancing so close to the

church.

Well, I only care what the good book has to say, Reverend, and I'm very partial

to that passage from Ecclesiastes that goes, To everything there is a season, a

time for every purpose under heaven, a time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to

mourn, and a time to dance.

Custer, he ain't a real general.

He just calls himself one.

What's the difference? As long as he's doing the fighting for us, I don't care

what he calls himself. Horace, are you going to play in my band?

Yes, ma 'am. I'm going home to practice right now.

What about you, Jake?

Somebody's got to look after those soldiers.

I need you, Jake.

Why did you announce in church you're looking for a banjo player?

You don't play the banjo. A banjo would drown out my concertina.

I need you more than some old banjo player, Jake.

I'll see you at rehearsal.

Keep up, soldier.

Yes, sir, General.

Don't want no sweat on the nose.

Warm starch to soak it up.

Helps keep the shine down, too.

And try and keep the color just on the lip.

Give me those.

Now, wrap this up.

Put it up on top.

Well, you're pretty.

Yes, you are.

Easy with that.

You've got enough of that now.

The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom and his tongue talketh of

The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

The wicked watcheth the righteous and seeketh to slay him.

The Lord will not leave him in his hand nor condemn him when he is judged.

Well, that's all we have time for.

I will see you boys tomorrow.

about cloud dancing.

This really isn't my place to say anything.

Why not?

The church is neutral on this issue.

How can you not protest the fact that he's been chained up like an animal?

The general has assured me that that is necessary to prevent his escape.

That's ridiculous. I'm sorry.

How are you feeling?

Better, sir. Good.

He should be strong enough to travel in a week.

We'll take the port cars in two days. You'll be ready, won't you, soldier?

Yes, sir. Very good. General Custer.

Mr. McCuster, Black Kettle just rode in under a flag of truce.

You're wasting your time, sir.

Chief Black Kettle has come to try to keep the peace.

You insult him if you don't sit down and talk.

I won't sit down and talk as long as his men continue to kill settlers.

He's told you the ones that kill are renegades. He doesn't have any control

them. He's lying.

I should arrest him now. Sergeant!

What

did

he say?

He said if cloud dancing isn't back by tonight, you're going to have more

trouble than you can handle.

The Indian will remain my prisoner until he tells me where the dog soldiers are

hiding.

I said you're

too young and foolish to live to

be a wise old man.

They'll kill you. You know they will.

Please.

Sergeant. Sir.

Sir.

General Custer, I want to see Cloud Dancing.

Mr. Slicker, I'll tend to him from now on. I prefer you spend your time with my

soldiers. What I do with my time is my business. And what I do with the Indian

is mine.

If Cloud Dancing doesn't give me the information I want, in two days, I'll

execute him.

Once more?

Wasn't that bad, was it?

I'm just not that hungry.

You're getting better.

Do you think I can dance with the hurdy -gurdy?

I don't see why not.

How much for the dance, Matthew?

About ten.

So if I get five dances, I'll have a whole quarter.

Colleen, I don't think a hurdy -gurdy girl is something that's appropriate for

girl. What?

You're as young as yourself.

Prisoner's been injured trying to escape.

What about Jake Slicker?

It was him that sent me.

He'll be right there.

the guards who want him to translate.

He speaks English.

They don't know that.

You can't go in there.

I don't speak Cheyenne.

Not unless one of you is able to translate for me.

I'd best let the general know.

I did what I could. I thought you ought to take a look at him.

I'll need some water.

How did this happen?

Ran into a rifle butt, I reckon.

My

shoulder

is dislocated.

I'm going to have to put it back in place.

I'll need both of you to help me study him.

Hold him here and here.

Hold there and there.

I need to take this off.

I need to bandage his neck.

Get that man out of here. Now.

What did he

say? He wants to know why you kill women and children.

The Indians ambushed my company.

You're a liar.

If this man comes within a hundred yards of here, shoot him on sight. And then

kill the prisoner.

No. Move.

How dare you do this to another human being?

It's just an Indian man.

This man saved my life.

Well, now you've saved his.

You have ten minutes to complete your examination of my prisoner, Miss Quinn.

This one nickel -plated?

They're all nickel -plated. Which one do you want to buy?

Not this one. Don't sound right.

What are you talking about?

It's got some sour notes in it.

Sour notes.

Nothing wrong with that.

You sure play good, Mr. Bray.

Will you teach me?

No, I don't play no more.

Now, do you want to buy it or not?

I ain't got no money.

You can work it off.

You're doing chores for me.

Thanks, Miss Olive.

Sure could use you in the hurdy -gurdy pan, Lauren.

I told you, Olive, I don't play no more.

Your family's going to be real proud of you.

Reverend, we need to talk.

All right, I'll excuse us.

I'll see you later.

We have to talk about clown dancing.

He was severely beaten last night. Yeah, I heard he tried to escape. That's a

lie. Were you there?

Please, talk to General Custer.

It's not right to allow him to be treated this way, especially not after

did to help us during the epidemic.

This is a civil problem. It is not a spiritual one.

I'm sorry. If you want to do anything, you'd have to petition his superiors in

Washington. Will you sign a petition?

For what good it would do?

Well, if enough of us protest, we might get him released.

I will sign your petition, but it is not going to change anything.

I'm sorry. General Custer is still the law in this territory, and we ultimately

have to answer to him.

Sorry.

Forgive me, Reverend.

But I thought you answered to a higher authority.

Robertine, how do you know if a girl likes you?

Even did she tell you?

Ain't so much a word, son.

It's more than looks and smiles and the way she stands close to you and where

she holds your hand when you dance. Now, you picked Ingrid for the first dance.

It's sure going to be hard to let her go when the music ends.

I guess you're going to have to buy up all her tickets so nobody else can dance

with her.

It's all fine.

It's a petition demanding humane treatment for cloud dancing. But how is

well.

Are you going to be finished soon?

Matthew?

We'll be finished directly.

I'll be back in a minute.

Drinking is just a temporary remedy, Mr. Bray.

When it's gone, the pain and the loneliness will still be here.

What do you know about it?

You're not even married.

No.

No, but I was engaged.

We were so much in love.

I've never been so happy in my life.

My fiancé was captured at the Second Manassas.

He died in a Confederate prison.

I believe I know something of what you're feeling these days.

Maude loved to dance.

That's where we met, you see, at the dance.

We would have been married 42 years.

42 years.

Sergeant? You said two days.

I changed my mind.

You can't just execute a man without a trial. What's his crime?

He's an Indian.

He's got to have done something to be shot for. This man saved our lives.

Not mine.

You can't let them do this. I can't believe you're going to kill a man in

blood.

Sully, help me stop them. He doesn't know anything.

Why don't you ask him one last time?

Tell them anything.

No. I see the truth.

Take him back.

Next time, Custer will kill him.

We can't let that happen.

We've got to do something.

Zion's soldiers' execution.

It's not right to go on with this.

I have to agree with you. No.

No, you can't call off the opening of the hurdy -gurdy. Why not?

Because people just don't stop living just because something bad happens.

I don't think the town's up to it right now.

Everyone's been looking forward to this for weeks. Not me.

Wait.

There's another reason. A much more important reason.

And we need your help.

free tan no hanky -panky standing apart

and remember to smile it's very important

to both terms to be discussed by Ms. Olive. But I know she don't want no more

chicken.

Grace? Ain't open yet.

When you are, I want every ticket for Ingress.

All of them?

How much is that?

Every last cent you got, and then some.

Can I owe you?

I'm worried.

Well, try not to.

We're doing the right thing. I know that.

It's G.

that medicine you wanted.

Did you have any trouble securing it?

No. Sully, will you dance with me?

Maybe when I get back.

All

right,

gentlemen, step right up. Get your tickets. We're about to get started.

For anybody without a partner, we have some talented young ladies who will

gladly dance with you or teach you the latest steps for a small fee.

I'd especially like to welcome our soldiers and General Custer.

We're very glad to have them tonight. They are our guests, and they will dance

free. All right, girls, on house.

Come along, come along.

Lovely, little girl, inviting, welcome.

Mary, Ingrid.

Jenny and Martha.

All right.

That's all I have to say.

Well, have a good time.

met you already.

I've had five. I'm still thirsty.

There you go.

Or is it six?

Five. I'll be floating out of here.

You want to hear what I can play?

No, and neither does anyone else.

Mr. Bray?

Huh?

You forgot music in heaven?

Oh, I forgot my stethoscope. Would you get it for me, please?

fake tying you up.

Quick.

I won't tie you too tight.

I'm going to play one more tune.

Take it.

What's the name?

Matthew.

I know your name.

What's the name of this?

That's a bandana.

I'm Ingrid.

I know.

Bought all your tickets.

You?

You buy my ticket?

And I think nobody wants to dance with me.

Well, let's go.

No.

You like nothing.

I don't... I know dance.

Then why do you buy tickets?

Sir, the pony tracks to the west edge of town. That's how they got away.

We'll head after them at first light.

It's going to be mighty cold by then, General.

But we'll be ready to ride, sir.

That's all, Sergeant.

Where should I post my bill?

To the quartermaster, Fort Collins.

Now, Dr. Quinn, I suspect you were part of a conspiracy.

Aiding the escape of a federal prisoner is a serious crime.

You found me bound and gagged. I was hardly capable. I heard you cry out a

warning, madam.

You're mistaken, sir.

I cry out of fear.

Dr. Quinn, you are a traitor.

I've dedicated my life to repairing the damage that men like you bring on this

world. And frankly, Mr. Custer, I don't want any more of you.

Sully? Turn around.

Are you all right?

Yes. And cloud dancing?

Safe in the mountains.

Said to thank you for what you did.

What we did?

You have the courage of a warrior.

You said that?

No, I did.

Jake needs somebody to keep him in tune.

Oh, I don't want to.

Be like old times.

I'm never going to be like old times again, Olive.

Come on.

I ain't got a harmonica.

You can borrow mine.

I believe we all know Beautiful Dreamer.

Olive, may I have this dance?

Your brother's sitting this one out?

He's sitting all of them out.

Where's Billy?

There's something he had to do.

Are you going to dance with him?

I will.
