I got two hands coming out first.

See

you

after school.

No job.

You got no credit in my store.

How are we going to feed our families? Go back to work.

I ain't no scab, Mr. Bray. It was your choice to go on strike.

They signed us up with $4 a day. That's right. Now they're telling us we got to

work for $3.

Times are tough, boys.

The price of silver hasn't gone down, has it, Mr. Stone?

No. But the cost of operating has gone up. What cost would those be, sir?

We still ain't spending no money on no timber.

We already have two cave -ins this month. I run a safe operation.

I ain't here today looking for a fight.

Here looking for able -bodied men who want to work.

Nobody crosses our ticket line.

Almost doesn't count. Everybody go home. Now get out of here before somebody

gets killed.

Go on.

Absolutely not.

I mean, I don't believe it's a very good idea.

I can start day after tomorrow.

Please, Matthew, I prefer you don't.

I can make enough money in four weeks to finish my homestead.

If I wait, it's going to be another year before Ingrid and I are on our own. But

you've already got a job.

Nothing more.

I'll give notice.

You can't just quit.

Let him get somebody else.

This mining job is going to pay twice as much as I'm getting at the ranch. Being

a scab don't bother you.

I don't care about this trouble with the unions.

I'm just looking for an honest day's work.

Throw those men in the picket line.

Excuse me.

I've got things to do.

I never thought Matthew would take another man's job by crossing the picket

line.

If I don't take this mining job, I'll never get our house built by spring.

We can borrow the money from Dr. Mike.

No.

Don't you go asking her.

I didn't. She offered.

I'm going to do this on my own. I don't see why.

Maybe women just don't understand.

Matthew.

I understand.

will you do if they try to beat you up?

Strikers?

I can take care of myself.

Promise me you only work till we have enough to finish home.

I promise.

Good news.

Sorry,

I didn't. John, look.

I have job.

Work in mind.

Not you?

You'll have to come back in a week to take the stitches out.

You don't speak English.

Come back.

Seven days.

Seven.

Ja, sieben Tag. Ich verstehe.

Danke.

Are there any more, Mr. Stone?

Not the last one.

For today.

And how many may I expect tomorrow?

Nobody wants a strike, Dr. Quinn.

Everybody loses something.

Then why don't you end it?

It ain't up to me, lady.

It's up to the men on that picket line.

In my opinion, what they're asking for is quite reasonable and fair.

My boss don't think so.

You shouldn't be smoking. I know.

The other doctor said I'm in my condition worse.

Your condition they called it Scylla Scylla mine is consumption

Listen I'm gonna go broke painting by the man.

How about we cut a deal?

You be the company saw bones and I'll I'll pay on a weekly You

don't like me very much do you no I don't miss stone

Or you don't have to like me to take care of my men do you I mean, isn't that

your duty as a doctor?

I'll be there tomorrow.

Matthew? Sully.

Mind if we talk?

Sure.

Could you come company?

Thanks.

Not many people know this, but... I nearly died in a cave -in.

Summer of...

59. I was much older than you are now.

I was working a silver mine up near Cripple Creek.

We had just started our ship when it happened.

Thought they'd just dig us out.

Didn't think it would take 22 days.

Air went bad right away.

Rats ate our food.

You couldn't sleep. They'd be crawling on you, biting at you.

Your mind was full of water, and after a few days of wearing wet clothes, your

skin just gets all... soft and... tears off every time you move,

so... after a while, you just lay there.

Think about dying.

And the last candle was gone.

You can't imagine how dark it got.

But you got out.

Didn't you?

Yes, I did.

Nothing's gonna happen to me, Philly.

You wasted your time coming. You can't change my mind.

Figured as much.

So where'd you come?

Give you this.

You're gonna be needing it for the dust.

I can't try it first. Because customers don't buy used candy.

They're sugar. You'll like them.

Ah, Dr. Mike, that be all?

That's it.

Afternoon, Grace.

What can I get you?

Nothing, thank you.

Fact is, I, uh, brought money to pay up what I owe you.

I'm, uh, closing my account.

A lot of my customers are minors, and it wouldn't be right my buying from you,

so... I'll be going to Soda Springs to get my supplies until this strike is

over. Oh, is that so?

Soda Springs, huh?

Now I know where you stand.

Yes, sir.

Guess you do.

Mark my words, unions will be the ruin of this country. How can they ruin the

country if they're asking for a fair wage and safe working conditions?

Dr. White, it's Matthew.

He's not going to get hurt, is he?

I hope not.

I couldn't talk him out of it.

Okay.

Here. It was $3 .08.

You want it on your account?

I'll take it.

Mine boss called in the militia.

Might be a good idea to ride out there this morning.

I have some patients to see, and we can keep an eye on things.

You're going to the mine?

Yep. May I go with you?

Back side of the...

Good morning.

Good morning,

lady.

Good luck to see a pretty woman on the way to work.

What did I do?

Smile back.

Good luck to you.

What are you doing here? Here to make sure that nobody gets hurt. Anyone

crossing a picket line is not welcome here.

Perhaps not, but I'm certainly needed here.

Hey, put that area out over there.

Why don't you stop this before someone gets shot?

Well, why don't you?

Go on down there and talk some sense into those boys.

Don't I get it to your employees?

Well, ship's just ending.

Men will be coming up shortly. Why don't you set up on over there in the big

tent? All right, grab that gear!

Come on, men, get on over here and line up over here!

Did you do this?

You were once a miner.

Hey, don't you get it?

I'm the last chance they got.

The company is going to break this strike no matter what.

I'm just trying to make sure those men keep what they already got.

All right, let's go, men. Get in line here. All right, two.

position here.

Yes, sir.

Infections never cut.

Four cases of dysentery. There's going to be an epidemic if they don't approve

sanitation.

You know, I don't know how much longer they can hold out.

It's tough standing up for what's right when your children are going hungry.

Can't we help them?

Well, after I run my article in the Gazette, there'll be plenty of people

willing to help.

I just found out that the last mining engineer wasn't fired. He quit. But he

didn't like that the owners were cutting corners. Said it was unsafe.

You go on back to town. I'll stay here a while. Keep an eye on things.

Dorothy, you want a ride back?

No, thanks. I'll be staying a while, too.

Those men told me you were a miner once.

That's right.

So what do you think of this operation?

From what I've heard, you couldn't pay me enough to go on that mine.

May I quote you on that?

Say your name. If you can't write, make a mark.

I can write.

Ten hours.

Two dollars cash, dollar script.

What script?

You use it just like money at Mr. Bray's company store.

Well, I'd rather have money. I can use that anywhere.

This job pays part cash, part script for days' work. You don't like it, don't

come back tomorrow.

Plenty of men to take your place.

No, I'll be back.

Time for bed.

You sent me to my phone.

I know, but it's getting late.

Matthew!

Did you find any silver, Matthew?

Sure did.

I couldn't keep none if they make it.

Check your pockets before you come up.

Take your boots off. It's filthy.

I made this up for you.

Did you see any tummy knockers?

That's what I said, the little men who live in the mines.

And they're wondering when bad things are going to happen.

Little men.

It's a lot of rats.

Rats?

Colleen, Brian, it's time for bed.

But I want to hear about the rats. You'll hear about it in the morning.

Matthew needs to eat and sleep.

Good night, Matthew.

Good night.

Why don't you wash up?

Did you hurt yourself?

No.

The rocks are sharp. I've worn it on my gloves.

Let me put this dab on them. That's nothing.

Well, if they get infected, you won't be able to work at all.

Sit down.

If you're not careful, you could come up with something serious, like influenza

or tetanus or typhus.

Matthew, I want you to promise me that you won't take any unnecessary chances.

I could never.

We could never.

That ought to do it, Mr. Bray. I spent most of my week's wages.

These gumdrops are for Brian.

Oh, by the way, I checked the freight schedule.

The lumber you ordered will be here in two weeks.

You be wanting anything else?

Yeah.

This.

It's too much money.

I want you to have it.

We'll take it.

Isn't it beautiful?

You're beautiful.

Yeah.

You sure this bill is right?

What have you added, Paul? Oh, you're paying with script.

It's not worth as much.

What do you mean?

Script is good for 90 cents on the dollar.

The dime goes for interest and bookkeeping costs for running the

You don't charge anybody else for credit. That's not fair.

I don't need... I want you to have it.

Matthew, I... Well, take it.

Ingrid, I'll be back.

I believe I know why.

I'll get you something.

Ma, can we get a pie from Grace's for dessert tonight?

How can you think about that the way you're feeling now?

I won't be feeling so bad later.

Well, Grace is baking pies at the moment.

Oh, come.

She won't buy the spices or sugar from Mr. Bray?

Why not?

Her way of showing Mr. Bray that she disagrees with what he's doing.

How come we're still buying from him?

I mean, even Matthew says he wasn't there.

What do you think?

What's the problem?

He's got something stuck in his eye.

You can see it right there.

Very good, Colleen.

He's got a little piece of steel right there by the tear duct.

What's that?

Magnet. Take it.

I'll hold his eye open. He just looks through the magnifying glass and

the sliver.

It's all right. Go on.

Doc!

We're gonna need a new drill bit to get you deep.

Watch the team when you borrow one from the bellows down in that tub.

No! Don't!

That's very good, Colleen.

There.

It's him!

Cabin! Cabin! Cabin!

What?

What

happened?

The timbers are giving away. Pretty bad, Cabin.

We'll have to go into the South Park.

If one man dies down there, it's on your head. There's five dead already. The

longer we stand here, the more are going to die.

Colleen! Colleen! Listen to me!

Listen to me! I need your help. Take my horse and go into town to get some

medical supplies.

Bandages, please.

Clean out the cabinets. Have Jake give you the bandages, too.

Tell everyone in town we need their help.

And Colleen, tell Brandon that it's going to be all right.

Tell him!

Now listen to me. I don't want anybody to do nothing until I tell you.

I told you this was going to happen. We've got miners in there we have to

Now get your men and their tools and let's go. Nobody move.

Those men are scabs and they deserve what they get. My son's in there. I'm

sorry, lady, but I still... I'm going to dig him out with my bare hands if I

have to. Any man that you pull out of that hole will be more than glad to join

your union.

I'll get a map of the tunnels.

It's the Gazette.

Well, I'm almost done.

We got some new candy coming in all the way from Pennsylvania.

No, thanks.

It's been three days since you've come in here to buy candy. I know. So I sure

hope you start being fair again real soon.

What you talking about?

Mom said if everybody stopped buying from you, pretty soon you'd start being

fair again. And then Grace could buy sugar and bake pies.

I'm waiting for him. He's in my wagon.

I lost my brother.

Go to the tent.

Don't know Colleen

What's

going on why aren't you still digging we're not gonna that was mr. Charles Mr.

Lemieux, he's one of the owners.

He don't want us going back in there until we get more timbers up here for

bracing the tunnel. Well, how long will that take?

One day at least, maybe two. But my son is still in there.

I'm sorry, Dr. Quinn.

But you got my word, we'll keep digging until we find him. Wait, two days?

I mean, he could be dead before we find him. It's too risky now. Trust me. My

son trusted you and thwarted all of those men.

You killed him. I didn't kill nobody, Dr. Quinn. That mountain did. You know

what I mean.

I was just following orders.

It doesn't matter who gifts them first as long as we find them.

Good luck.

Good luck, honey.

Foley!

Foley!

Foley, the money company are going to stop digging.

They can do whatever they want. I'm going in after them. I'm going with you.

It's too dangerous.

I don't care. I'm going to.

Listen.

You can't go dressed like that. Come on.

Put these on.

Hurry up.

And what John said, Matthew's stuck in the West Drift.

Drop down the air vent, we might be able to get to him.

Sully?

What? Were you ever in a cave -in?

Once.

But you got out.

The only reason I got out is because there was people on the outside who

whether I lived or died.

You going in? Yeah.

Be to yourself.

You got it.

Not me.

It's bad luck to let a woman into a mine.

Jake, everything's so messed up, a woman might bring us luck.

I'll come.

Thank you, horse.

I want

to see Mr. Lemieux.

You can't.

When am I going to get my money?

Oh, Ron, how can you even think about money at a time like this? I can think

about it because his boss owes me over $200.

All I got is his paper script.

What if the mine don't open up again? The mine's going to open again, Mr.

But we may not want to do business with you if the Gazette continues to print

articles like this one.

Oh, Dorothy, what are you going to do now?

Why don't you finish reading it and see for yourself?

I'm running an extradition tomorrow. You have something you'd like to say?

Nope. Well, I do.

I don't want to do business with you.

Not anymore.

Lauren, you're doing the right thing, and I'm going to make sure the whole

knows about it. Don't go writing no articles about me.

I won't.

I'm just going to mention it in the editorial.

I don't want to be in no editorial.

That's just going to be all right. I know it. Come on. We're going in to find

him.

Come on.

We're ready.

Let's all join hands and pray.

Dear Lord, watch over us, you are our spring.

Dr. Mike.

He's alive.

All right, I want you and Morris.

Take one of them.

What about Matthew? We'll get him.

Come on, go. Go. You go with me, Dr. Mike. No.

Go on. They defeat one life. Go on right now.

First John, John, we're with me.

He's coming out.

He's with English.

I'm going to get you out, too.

My leg's stuck.

My leg's stuck.

He'll be broken.

We're going to do something fast.

They're throwing up his water. If we don't get him out, he's going to drown.

Precious Lord.

is more

back for him the more people looking for matthew first we'll find him i'll go me

too all right i'll go too everybody grab some tools and we'll be at the entrance

in five minutes

We have to do this now.

What?

What?

Yes, I'm sorry.

We just can't wait any longer.

No! I thought they'd be back at help right now, but they're not. There's no

other way.

Wait!

That's a black car.

Blow this rock right out.

Wait, what?

I put a charge in this crack right here. The boulder should split.

Are you crazy?

He's a powder man. You know what I'm doing.

He's just enough.

Take some of these timbers and protect it from the blast.

It'll work.

I know it will. But what if it doesn't?

Tunnel maybe closed all the way. And maybe not.

Let's stop now.

Trust Sully. It's going to work.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I'm ready.

Mike, this will go over there.

You all right? Yes.

I'm going to go get him. Stay here.

Thank you.

Hey, that's Dr. Mike!

There's a job waiting for you. I don't want your job, Mr. Stone.

I know why those men were walking the picket line.

Don't worry.

There's plenty of others willing to take their places.

Quite true, Mr. Stone.

There will always be desperate men willing to work.

But they're not here.

Not today.

Not in our town.
