They don't think you can hit it. They don't. You missed last time from here.

I know.

I should have been back further before I threw it.

Want to try again?

No. Spirits are with you too much today.

I say you, Doc.

Any young man who don't have a horse.

Doc might come to tell you.

We didn't expect you till tomorrow.

Sure let us know you were coming. The army wagon train came in early. I told

these gentlemen to bring the food right now.

By dancing with beans and corn, it's all good, too. Here, let me help you

unload. I got four sets of flowers, not a worm in any of them.

What are these ox soldiers doing here? They wouldn't have been here if they

tomorrow like you said. I didn't know they were here.

It's not her fault.

Don't let them do this. Stop.

It's not worth dying over.

What

have you been

doing?

What are we going to do now?

Nothing. Nothing?

None of our business.

Those men were murdered.

Those men were killed by their enemy.

They were shot in the back. Anyone who wants to know, tell them the soldiers

dropped off the food.

They left and you stayed behind.

You're asking me to lie?

Now if you tell the truth, the army will come back and kill everyone here.

But it was the dog soldiers who did it.

with the old women and men. Stay here with me. No. No, Father, I listened to

long enough.

It's time to fight.

When I save this village now, the best thing you can do is forget it ever

happened.

Here you go.

Don't!

I ain't got no more.

Alright, I got one more.

Where is she?

Right there.

Came to have a horse.

Gonna have to throw in a saddle if you want to see my cards.

Four kings?

Yes, sir.

You just got yourself a horse.

Let's see what I want.

Come here.

Open up.

Don't like that, do you?

Nasty little girl.

Let's see what you got.

Dr. Quinn.

What do you want, General Cutler?

Dr. Quinn accompanied two of my men to the reservation to deliver supplies.

The two men have not yet returned to Pote.

Did you see them leave the reservation, Dr. Quinn?

Yes. When was that?

Not long after they arrived.

I suggest the two of you stay close to town from now on.

There's been an increase in attacks by Cheyenne war parties.

I suspect that is what happened to my men.

Should that be the case, there's going to be hell to pay. I can assure you.

chocolate cake.

Let Brian decide. It's his birthday.

What do you want?

I want a horse.

A horse?

She's the best horse I ever saw.

She's real smart.

And she's not too big for me.

She's not a pony. She's just too small for Hank.

Hank?

Hank owns her?

He won her in a poker game.

What makes you think he wants to sell her?

He don't even like her.

I'm sure we could buy her.

Well, I don't know if we can afford another horse right now.

That's a lot of money to keep a horse, Brian.

You can ride Flash anytime you want to.

But she's your horse.

I want my own. I'm old enough.

Brian... Hank's got plenty of horses.

Hank doesn't even like her.

Still serving lunch if you'd like a seat.

I'm looking for Dr. Quinn.

Where's your dad over there?

Dr. Quinn. Yes?

I'm Anna Cottle.

My husband rode out to the reservation with you.

I was just wondering if he said anything.

supposed to meet him?

Sorry, he didn't say anything to me.

Mrs. Kyle, would you like to join us?

She needs to know the truth.

Do you know what the truth is?

If her husband had got away, he'd probably come back with a hundred

killed everybody in that village.

What if they ask me again about what happened?

I won't lie.

Do you know what that'll do?

But those men had families. Those men?

Soldiers? There's a war going on here. Any fool can see that.

Something on your mind?

You've been staring at those two skeins for almost ten minutes.

I just can't seem to make up my mind. They're both the same color.

I don't really need yarn.

I need advice.

What kind?

I thought something had happened.

Something terrible.

I lied about it because I'm afraid that if I tell the truth, far worse things

will happen.

Michaela, are you and the children in danger? No.

Well, if what happened is as bad as you say, then it's got to be found out

before too long. Then people are going to want to know why you didn't speak up

sooner.

What did you see?

I don't want this to end up in your gazette.

It won't.

I've been reading in my newspaper book about something called off the record.

It means that you can say what you want, and I can't print it.

I don't want you to print this or talk to anyone about it.

Michaela, this is just between friends.

Hey.

I need to talk to you. I knew you'd be back.

Got another game starting up in...

An hour.

I'll cover you if you're a little short.

I didn't come here to play poker.

I came here because I want to buy your horse.

What horse?

That one that you got gambling.

You want to buy that horse?

It's for my brother for his birthday.

How much?

Ain't for sale, but if you'd like to gamble for it.

Change your mind and let me know.

You too.

I'll need to see you again in a week.

I feel so much better just knowing what it was.

Make sure you take all of the medicine. I will.

And thank you. Good day, Doctor. Good day.

Not here. What is it?

Look over there. What's that?

A bunk.

A forest fire?

Nothing but grass. It has to be a house.

Probably the Clemmer Ranch.

Oh, that's gunfire.

Engine attack!

Engine attack!

Get your rifle! Let's go!

I better wire Denver.

Engine attack!

Get your rifle!

Nothing.

Nothing?

Why is she acting so spooked?

Maybe because she doesn't like you.

This horse, this horse loves me.

Don't you, girl?

Come here.

Come here. Don't do that. She didn't do nothing.

Hey.

Just leave my horse alone, will you?

I don't want some stupid kid spoiling it.

Come here.

Come here.

Hey.

Even if I do find her, I'm still Hank's whore.

I know.

I've been thinking. She don't know you.

If she's scared, I can talk to her.

Maybe I'd better come with you.

Please, Matthew.

Better get another layer here. Yay!

Where are you going? It's early.

I've got some things to do in town.

Well, I think you should stay closer to home until all the troubles are over.

I'm even thinking we should postpone Brian's birthday party.

Why? Custer's got half the army patrolling this valley, all the dog

headed south.

I got one!

Dr. Mike?

Mind if Brian comes along?

Well, if you go straight into town and back, I guess it'll be all right.

Thanks, Mom.

There she is.

All right.

Get down, Brian.

What are you going to do to her?

Rope her.

She don't have to do that. Let me try.

Let me try. Brian.

Matthew, let me try. Brian. Let me try. Brian. Let me try.

All right, here.

You try, but you be careful.

All right, I'm being careful.

Here, girl.

Come on.

Hey. Hey, girl.

Got something for you?

Come on over, Matthew. It's all right.

How'd you do that?

She likes me.

Ryan.

It's hurt.

She's done this breaking out of the corral.

Is she going to be all right?

I think if it gets much worse, she's going to go lame. And she's going to

to be put down. No!

We could hide her.

If she'll get better, she will.

Please, Matthew.

I guess we could...

If we could keep her here, at least until she's fit, it's time to figure out

what to do.

Dr. Quinn.

I believe these belong to you.

Didn't even was wearing them when we captured him.

And he was riding a stolen army horse.

I know you were there, Dr. Quinn.

Yes, I was.

I'd like to know what happened.

The men who came to bring the supplies to the village?

Were killed by dog soldiers was this Indian one of those that killed my men

Yes

Anybody else see this happen anyone with you

I was alone Did you happen to see where my men were buried

I'd like to claim their remains

Sergeant. Yes, sir. Take this murdered Indian back to Fort Collins, and when

get there, hang him.

Yes, sir.

And, Sergeant, when you return with reinforcements, we're going back to that

village.

Yes, sir.

This

whole

thing should never have happened.

I can't change the fact that two men died because I showed up a day early.

Two lives have been lost. It doesn't matter if they were Indians or soldiers.

What matters is how we can stop this incident from becoming a terrible war.

It's over too late for that.

We will come back when Custer is gone.

What if he doesn't leave?

Then we will come back and fight.

How did Custer find out his soldiers were here?

Who told him?

It does not matter.

This man scouts for the army? Maybe he betrayed us.

I told him.

You have become an old man.

I no longer will listen to you.

You, who are my father's friend, are now my enemy.

If we meet again, I will shoot you.

boys mine here what's your mom looking for i'm looking for a horse horse

yeah don't happen to have one hanging around do you no sir no extra

horses around here i thought you might since lauren says he was buying extra

oats and extra taffy this week your horse ain't here hank

If someone was to find my horse and still keep her, when they knew I was out

looking for her, I'd say that fellow was no better than a horse thief.

Wouldn't you?

Horse thief?

Yeah.

You know what happens to horse thieves?

What's going on?

Nothing.

Help!

Help!

Get Dr. Mike!

What happened?

You're coming from Soda Springs.

Indians attacked the stage about two miles from here. You're hit.

Where's the driver? He's dead.

Oh, so is everybody in here.

This is for your

legs. Ma said it

works on everything.

You followed me.

You said you weren't doing nothing.

Looks like you are.

It's all right. She's my friend.

She won't hurt you.

What happened to her?

She did it running away from Hank.

He was hurting her. This is Hank's horse.

The one you wanted.

This is mine now.

Brian, you can't keep her.

You heard what Hank said. It's the same as stealing.

But she ran away.

And she's got to go back.

I love this horse, Colleen.

I want to keep her.

This horse is hurt bad.

That cut looks infected.

She could die.

You can make her better.

You can do it. Colleen, Colleen.

No, I can't.

I don't know how.

You got to take her to Robert E. He'll know what to do.

If I do that, Hank will get her.

If you really love this horse, you'll do what's right for

her.

No matter what happens.

We just stopped to water the horses at Aspen Creek.

Suddenly there was all this shouting and guns going off.

The driver got hit.

So I jumped up and grabbed the lines.

I've never driven a stagecoach in my life.

You were very brave.

This one's alive.

Doctor, see what you can do to keep this Indian alive so I can question him.

Reverend, what happened to you?

I was on a stagecoach that got ambushed by dog soldiers.

When was that?

This morning.

General, I want to know why the army isn't doing a better job of protecting

Well, we're doing our best, Dr. Quinn.

But it is very difficult to prevail as long as prominent citizens continue to

foster sympathy for the renegade Cheyenne.

He's dead, sir.

Well, I lied, Dr. Quinn. I won't be needing your services after all.

I apologize.

I'm sure you don't like being lied to any more than I do.

Sergeant muster up a burial detail.

Yes, sir.

Go ahead and say a few words over the grains, Reverend.

I hope they burn in hell.

Done the best I can. The rest is up to her.

Thanks, buddy.

Come on.

Well, I better go tell Hank we found his horse.

Matthew, ask Hank if he'll sell the horse.

Will you?

Brian, he's not going to sell.

There's got to be a way. Ask him, please.

Myra. Hey, Matthew.

Is that poker game still on for this week?

Charlie, are you going to play?

I'm thinking about it.

I thought you gave up gambling.

I did, but I don't think I have much choice.

Where's Hank?

He's inside. What made you change your mind?

Brian really wants that horse.

Now's not a good time to go in and talk to him.

He's in there watering down his whiskey.

Maybe it is.

Hey.

Close, Matthew.

I just wanted to tell you I found your horse.

You did?

Yeah.

She's over at Robert Heath's.

Got her trying to run away, but I think she's gonna be all right much obliged

anything else. I'm busy Listen

Hank My little brother wants to

buy this horse.

He's willing to work for it. He'll do chores for you.

What do you think I?

See if you let me back in the next big poker game. You can buy that horse with

your share of the women's

I could do that.

But I think it would mean more to Brian if he would earn it himself.

You know, teaching the value of hard work and getting what you pay for.

We wouldn't want to cheat him out of that, would we, Hank?

Oh, no, we wouldn't.

When did you start?

Tomorrow would be fine.

I'll tell him.

Where's everybody?

At the church, the Reverend called me.

Where have you been? In the mountains with the cloud dancing. Come on, you've

got to warn them. What's wrong?

Where are the children? At home.

Sully.

Come on.

Go,

go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Stay here.

until the dog soldiers have been captured. Dog soldiers won't be coming

a while.

How do you know?

Because the army's chasing them.

I hope you're right, Sully.

Any Indian shows up or anybody looking like an Indian is going to get shot.

Hank, not every Indian in Colorado is a dog soldier trying to kill you.

In time, they will be.

We need every man that can carry a gun to sign up for guard duty.

I like the idea of Brian working in the city.

Myra said that she would look after him. And it's going to be during the day.

There's nothing going on there during the day.

He must really want that horse.

Well, tell Brian that he can take the job, but I want you to watch out for

too. I will.

Where do you think you're going?

Mrs. Carraway's still at her cabin. She has a broken leg and can't ride. Matthew

and I are going to go get her.

I'll go with him. You stay here.

Sully, I have to go.

She's going to need an injection of morphine to make the journey with that

broken leg. Show me. I'll do it.

You can't. You wouldn't know how much to give her.

I'll be all right.

And you said the army's chasing the dog soldiers and they won't be back near us

in a while.

Truth is, there's no telling where they are and what they're going to do.

Well, I can't just leave him.

If we go now, there shouldn't be any trouble.

Fine. Hope you're with.

I'll be back before dark.

Afternoon, Brian.

Afternoon, Myra. Hey,

Brian.

Everything's going to be all right.

Right on time.

Like that in my employees.

What do you want me to start with?

Well, you can start with these.

Clean them up.

I got

a

woman here with a broken leg.

Colonel Cotter told us to bring her to Dr. Quinn.

She's gone, but I'll take care of her. Can you carry her inside?

Yeah.

All right, Mr. Carraway.

Colleen.

That's the woman Dr. Mike is telling me to go get.

We expect rain and forest from Denver within a day.

Until then, I suggest you all stay around town.

Dog soldiers are raiding all around here.

Somebody go find them. No, Matthew.

Colleen, you know that Dr. Mike's going to keep on looking for her.

The longer they stay out there, the better chance they're going to run into

war party.

Take care, Brian. I'll get back to you.

No, you've got to go.

No. Get away. You know you can't. I won't leave you.

Come on, boy.
