It's going to take much longer, Mr. Watkins.

As soon as the light's right, I'll expose.

Better be sooner than later.

What did you say they call these renegades?

The army calls them dog soldiers.

For the white man came, they are enemies.

They fight together for survival.

The Cheyenne call them Atsokin.

It means...

Last hope.

I'm ready now.

Don't move.

What is going on, Mr. Sully? They think the lens is a gun barrel.

You're going to need a doctor.

I'll get a doctor after I get this picture.

Get them back in there and tell them to stand still. I want this picture. You

keep yelling like that and they're going to want your scalp.

Then please, ask them to get in and stand still.

No, I won't.

It's you.

Let's try this again, shall we?

I remember going to the National Gallery with my father once.

Did you enjoy it?

Yes, I did.

But I remember being terribly frightened by a photograph of Daniel Webster.

You should have seen him in person.

He's still working with Matthew Brady?

No, I'm working for the railroad now.

Doing a geological survey.

And some pictures for my own personal purposes, which Richard Sully has been

very helpful in securing.

He's an excellent guide.

Yes, I know.

Couldn't have found a better one.

Well, Mr. Watkins, perhaps you should stick to photographing geology.

Not as dangerous as Indians.

The public wants to see the real West, Dr. Quinn.

You ought to take a picture of Pike Peak.

I did that a week ago.

I'll get one for my wagon.

Oh, no, please.

Mr. Watkins, sit down.

You should take it easy. You may have a mild concussion.

I'm just a bit busy.

Well, I would feel better if you'd stay in town for a day or so.

I thought this was about me feeling better.

I'd like to keep you under observation.

Perhaps I could open a gallery and take some portraits.

I'll stay.

If you let me photograph you, Dr. Quinn.

What on earth for?

I think you'd make a wonderful series for the stereoscopic viewer.

The life of a lady physician.

Well, I don't really think it'd be very interesting.

My life is very ordinary.

After my years of photographing the war, I think an ordinary life is amazing.

Especially if it's viewed from the proper angle.

Is that a yes?

Come on, Dr. Mac.

Well, my patients would have to agree.

Of course.

Is that a yes?

I suppose so.

I never thought I'd be moving to Denver.

Oh, don't worry. We'll come to visit you.

And you'll be back with your husband when he comes to your own business.

Well, at least I'll have this picture to look at in case I get lonely.

I wish I could have a picture of the whole town.

Mr. Watkins, have you ever taken a picture of a whole town?

No, but that's a splendid idea, Dr. Quinn.

I could build a scaffold high enough.

How many people would be in it?

Just the leading citizens.

Fifty or so.

Why only those people?

Ought to be the folks who built this town.

Well, then I don't qualify.

I don't mean who actually built it. I mean... I mean the important folks.

You certainly qualify for that.

I believe that anyone who wants to be in this picture should be in it.

Dr. Mike.

This town's no different than the quilting circle.

We know who's in it.

And who ain't?

What about the immigrants?

They ain't.

Okay, hold still now. You know you can't move.

Here we go.

Dr. Mike!

Dr. Mike!

Dr. Mike, Mrs. Eklund's having a baby.

Just a few more seconds.

Okay, I'm done.

Dr. Quinn, wait for me. I can't wait. And neither can Mrs. Eklund.

You're doing fine.

Now push harder.

Hold on in there.

I'm not ready yet. But this baby is.

That's it. I can't. Push again. One more time.

Mr. Quinn, if you'll sit next to the new mother, and Colleen, you on the other

side, if you will.

Mrs. Eklund, don't let my singing disturb you. It's the only way I've

can accurately time my exposure.

Here we go. Hold still now.

Mr.

Watkins?

The plate had a crack in it.

Oh, dear.

It's best to destroy them.

Is your foot bothering you?

It's just a sore spot where my boot rubs me.

Would you like me to take a look at it?

Oh, it's nothing, thank you.

I'll make a new plate and try another picture.

Ladies, hope you're enjoying the exhibit.

I know you are, Mrs. Farnsworth.

If Mrs. Farnsworth stays in there any longer, charge her an extra nickel.

You ought to hear what folks have been saying in there.

Like what?

Oh, for the hateful thing about hairy eyebrows and ugly nose and about how

Hosmer in New York City ought to have been born a man.

I saw her picture. I agree.

Well, I was thinking of getting my portrait done, but now I ain't so sure.

It ain't like looking in a mirror. Ah, that's the truth.

Count me out.

Oh,

you're still going to be in the town picture.

Oh, sure.

That's different.

What would you think about taking the town picture next week?

What about tomorrow?

Well, Robert E. won't be back from Denver until next week. So what?

He should be in the photograph.

Well, Mr. Watkins might not be around that long, and...

Besides, some folks might object to having a picture taken with Robert E.

for one.

How can you say that?

That's the way things are.

They don't have to be.

Lauren, if someone as influential as yourself were to take a stand, things

be different.

Individuals can make changes.

Ah, don't lecture me.

Dr. Mike? What's wrong, Horace?

It's my ma. She's sick. Lewis just brought her in.

Ma, this is Dr.

Mike. You know Lewis. He's been staying with her.

I've been hurting real bad since yesterday.

Bring her inside.

Here you go, Ma.

Horace, what's wrong?

We got an emergency here, ma 'am.

She's resting now.

What's wrong with her?

I don't know yet.

I do know that she has a high fever, a serious infection. She's going to be all

right? I can't say yet.

It could be anything from tick fever to kidney stones.

But whatever it is, I do know your mother does have a very weak heart.

Can I see her now?

Master's gone away.

Jimmy Crackhorn, I don't care.

Jimmy Crackhorn, I don't care.

Jimmy Crackhorn, and I don't care.

Evening, Dr. Quinn.

Open the trough. I'll buy you a drink.

No, thank you, but I'd like to examine your foot.

What for?

Well, it's obviously troubling you.

This is true of many things lately.

Well, this one I may be able to fix.

It's nothing.

Mr. Watkins, this water's hardly sanitary.

And this is certainly doing your foot more harm than good.

Your hands are very warm.

How long has it been like this?

A while.

I've never seen a woman doctor before.

What made you become a doctor?

Why'd you become a photographer?

Thought I'd be good at it.

Me too.

Would you like to come inside?

You have beautiful eyes.

It's hard not to notice when I'm this close to them.

Whiskey and truth should both be served straight up, Doctor.

There's extensive damage to the blood vessels of your retina.

That's why you're having trouble seeing.

I could get new glasses.

No, I'm afraid they won't help.

I suspect you have diabetes mellitus.

Some people call it sweet water.

Constant thirst, frequent urination, slow healing of cuts on the foot. Those

just some of the symptoms.

Can you heal it?

I can treat it with strychnia, bicarbonates, and other medicines.

They'll relieve some of the symptoms, but they won't halt the progress of the

disease or the decline of your eyesight.

So what are you trying to say?

I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Watkins.

I'm afraid you're going blind.

I was taken at the field hospital in Virginia. I can't see all of his face,

but... But it's uncanny. He looks just like the man that I was engaged to.

Engaged?

What kind of man would let you get away?

He died in the war.

I'm sorry.

Captain David Lewis.

This may seem silly, but... But by any chance, do you remember his name?

I think you're right. I think it's Captain Lewis.

Really? You remember him?

As I remember, he was very well loved by his men.

What's gonna happen to me?

Your eyesight will continue to fade.

You'll become weaker.

You'll have trouble breathing.

And eventually you'll slip into a coma.

How much time do I have?

It's difficult to say.

But I do know you'd live longer if you went back to New York immediately for

treatments. I can't do that.

But they have the best hospitals in the country.

And with proper care, you could live for years.

You need therapy that I can't give you.

No, I need to take every photograph I can while I can still see.

But without the treatment.

rest and a restricted diet, you could fail sooner.

Dr. Quinn, I do not want the war.

It'll be all I remember when I close my eyes forever.

I want to take every photograph I can.

I want to fill my memory with wonder and beauty.

I want to recall every sunrise and every mountain peak that reaches for the

heavens.

And I want to remember women.

And look just the way you do right now.

Myra?

How's your mom?

Not so good.

I'm sorry.

How is that?

I've got work to do. Myra?

I wanted to introduce you.

And why didn't you?

I didn't think she'd understand.

No.

What'd you expect?

What do you think she's going to think when she finds out we're getting

I don't care what she thinks.

Then when are you going to tell her?

Myra, it's just not the right time with her sick and all that.

You understand?

I understand.

What can I get you?

Nothing.

I don't want to pay for a time she got customers who do.

Myra, you come over right now.

Where do you think you're going?

I'm paying for a time.

Mrs. Myra, I want you to meet her because we're... Well, we're engaged.

That's wonderful.

I was afraid you'd never find anybody.

Oh, you've made me very happy.

Let me look at you.

Wait, I know you. I saw you on the street.

Why are you dressed like...

I work in this land. But she ain't working there much longer. Just until I

off her contract. You want to marry a whore?

Ma, I love her and I want your blessing.

My blessing?

Have you lost your sense?

Get out!

Ma. How could you?

Myra. Myra.

Myra.

It don't matter what she thinks.

We're still going to get married.

Let's... Best you change your mind.

I'm going to be glad when all this hoo -ha is over. Not me. It's been great for

my business.

Everybody's getting haircuts.

It's too bad Emily's leaving.

Who's going to get her to make a new dress for Ingrid to wear to the town

picture?

Who says she's going to be in it?

I do.

Now, Matthew, we don't know who's going to be seeing this photograph.

You've got to ask yourself, how's it going to look with a bunch of immigrants

it? Shoot.

Might as well ask the Cheyenne.

Why not?

You've been hanging around with Sully too long. That's for sure.

This must be a picture of the whole town, not just people Mr.

Bray thinks are good enough.

Watch your tongue, boy.

Show some respect.

I ain't got nothing against your Ingrid being in there, but, you know, you let

one in, they're all gonna want to come in.

Guys say let them make their own picture if they want.

Decided. No Negroes, no Indians. No Confederate uniforms.

No immigrants.

And no saloon girls.

Why don't we let Mr. Watkins decide? It's his camera. But it's our town.

It's taking longer to make this photograph than it did to marry them.

Their couple might want to get on with their honeymoon.

Oh,

Mr. Sully.

Mr. Watkins?

Would you care to look through here?

Do you see them?

They're upside down.

Did you see them clearly?

Yep.

Good. I thought that might interest you.

Mr. Watkins?

Ray? I'm all right.

What's wrong?

Brian, you have a piece of candy? I don't know. Look in your pocket.

Take him to the clinic, quick.

Where do you think you're going? I have several people coming over this

afternoon for portraits.

I have lots of preparation to do.

You need to rest.

I have plenty of time for rest.

Mr. Watkins, you can't keep pushing yourself.

In the five days you've been here, you haven't stopped.

I'm not stopping now.

Why are you being so stubborn?

Why won't you do what I know would help you? Because, Doctor, for all of your

good intentions, you know there's not a damn thing you can do to keep me from

going blind, or for that matter, dying.

Is there?

And I'm at a point in my life where I have very little to look forward to.

And all I have is what I have left to look back on.

You're a family now. Let's get close together.

Matthew, hold your head in front.

Like this?

Fine.

Brian, put your hand on your shoulder.

Matthew, you might put your hand over here on your sister's shoulder.

Hey, Sally, why don't you be in our picture?

Wouldn't be right.

Family portrait.

It's your family.

Not real family.

Brian, it's Sally's decision, not yours.

I'm ready now.

Hold still.

It is beautiful.

It's worth every step.

Cheyenne say this is the place where heaven and earth come to talk each day.

What do they talk about?

Lately, they talk about how everything's changing.

You can't stop progress, Mr. Sully.

Progress?

All I see is a bunch of selfish folks doing anything for greed.

Killing off the Indians.

Killing the animal, beaver, buffalo, elk.

They're killing each other for an acre of land and an ounce of gold.

It's natural to want more.

Is it?

Look at you.

You came here for silver, didn't you?

That was before.

Before what?

Before I saw all the suffering it causes.

People see how pretty this country is, they're going to want to come here.

I don't know if taking pictures is such a good idea.

You want to look through here?

Is there something wrong with your eyes? Why do you keep asking me to take a

look every time we get the camera set up?

I thought you were interested in photography.

I am.

I'm also interested in the truth.

The truth is, Dr.

Quinn says I'm going blind.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

The last thing I need is your pity.

Well, I'm not offering it. Just my help.

I could use that if we're going to get the picture of the town.

Anything you need, you just ask me.

Anything?

Then you'll be in my picture.

I can't promise that.

I notice you have a problem with promises.

What's that supposed to mean?

She said if a lady like Dr.

Quinn ever looked at me the way she looks at you, I would fall down on one

and promise myself to her forever.

We better get started down before it gets too dark.

They died when I was 13.

I did what I had to do so we could eat.

Your son, he changed all that.

He saw past what I do.

Yeah.

He must have got that good heart from you.

And I want to thank you for that.

I love you, son. And I promise.

Mr. Watkins.

Thank you, Mr. Sully. I need my camera and my lens. They're in the wagon. Would

you get them for me, please? All right.

Dr.

Mike?

Want to talk to you? Yeah.

I couldn't be in that picture.

I'm sorry if I disappointed Brian.

That's all right, Sully.

I know I'm not family.

The truth is I care about you all very much.

I know.

Especially you.

The night I kissed you.

I know it was your birthday and all, but... I meant it.

And it was the nicest gift that I got.

But that's all it has to be, a birthday gift.

If things were different, we weren't so different.

It's not ready yet.

Neither am I, Celine.

I care about you too.

Very much.

Mr. Sully, my camera.

Please.

Immigrant.

They weren't invited, were they? Not by me.

We've got all the people we need for this

picture. We'd better get on home.

Ingrid! Ingrid!

Lauren, you have no right to do this. Oh, yes, we do. No, you don't.

Get out of the way, Mr. Slicker.

picture taken with them. Then you're the one who better leave. We were here

first. Stop this, all of you.

find you here.

I'll be leaving on the morning stage.

I'm sorry.

Did anything survive?

All I have left is what's here.

I'll be needing the doctor's name in New York.

Dr. Sanderson.

I'd like for you to have this.

I couldn't.

Please.

What's his name really, David?

If I say no, does that mean you don't want it?

Would you join us for dinner?

My children would really love to say goodbye.

It'll be my pleasure.

Ma?

Ma, they've been looking everywhere for you. What is it?

Forrest says you've got to come quick.

It's his mother? He's hurting awful bad.

I'll see you at dinner, Mr. Watkins.

You going to take any more pictures of Ma?

I don't have a camera, son.

It's been broken.

Can't you fix it?

I don't have time to get the things I'd need to fix it.

Bet Robert E can fix it.

He can fix anything.

That gave you.

I'll wait here.

No.

Come here, Horace.

I... I don't know where you got that good heart of yours, but I'm sure

glad you got someone here who'll appreciate it after I'm gone.

Ma, you're not going anywhere.

Oh, yes, I am.

But it's all right, because I know Myra will take good care of you.

Come here, child.

You have my blessing.

Look after Lewis for me.

He's a good boy.

He deserves a home where he'll be loved.

I think those are camels.

Major.

Camels?

They sure are funny looking.

Mr. Watkins, what's this?

It's Coney Island.

How come they're swimming with their clothes on?

Oh, those are bathing suits.

Why do they need suits to go swimming?

I don't wear nothing.

I think it's because it's cold.

Right, sir?

Something like that.

More coffee, Mr. Watkins? No, thank you. It's getting late. I really need to go

in. Well, Matthew will drive you back into town.

I want to thank you for your hospitality. This has been a week I will

forget.

I'm sorry about the town photo. That's a picture I would like to have taken.

But you can't, because the camera's broke, and even Robert E. can't fix it.

What if he could?

I'm afraid it's beyond repair.

The camera's just a box with a hole cut in it for the lens, and the lens ain't

broke. It's not just the camera. I don't have the glass plates to make the

negatives. Mr. Bray's got glass at the general store.

Cuts it right to size for you. I need chemicals and supplies.

Like what?

Gun cotton.

I have it. But you wouldn't have ether and cyanide and silver salts.

I have that, too.

Hyposulfate? I can get it.

Yes.

Yes, this might work.

Of course it's gonna work.

Mr. Watkins, think I could learn to take pictures?

Certainly. That's the easy part.

The hard part's knowing a good picture when you find it.

That's in the scene.

In the scene.

Eight by ten, two yards of black cloth.

Thank you. Ray, what do I owe you for this?

Oh, forget it.

Mr. Ray,

would you be interested in being in my picture?

You know what, Fisher? I'm inviting everyone.

Everyone.

I ain't coming, then.

Suit yourself.

You may be the only man in town not there.

It's worth gravity.

Gentlemen, I'm dead in a dream bubble.

Myra. Myra.

Someone with that?

She's having her picture taken with me.

All right.

You've been great, darling.

Thank you.

Are you coming? No.

It won't be the same without you.

We all have our differences.

But there's no reason we can't stand together.

Lauren, Mr. Watkins says that every picture has a heart.

And you're the heart of this town.

Mr. Sully, can you check my focus, please?

Sure.

Looks fine to me. Good. Then we're ready.

Not quite.

I would just like to say, I

just want to say to all of you, thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, now remember you cannot move. Hold perfectly still.

Breathe.
