Previously on Dr. Quinn Medicine.

Oh, no!

Hurry! I thought I lost you.

He's wanted for treason and murder.

You're harboring a fugitive. That's a crime.

We're in a state of martial law. I can do whatever I have to. I'd appreciate

not barging into my home. I don't need your permission.

Dead? If I start searching for you, they'll stop watching my every move, and

will the army. I'll try to clear your name posthumously. This is indeed a

mournful day.

He's alive, isn't he? I don't know what you're talking about, Sergeant.

My husband's dead.

Sully didn't kill O 'Connor. There's no evidence that he did.

Then maybe we can get the murder charge dropped.

But that would still leave treason.

Which might not be that easy for the army to prove.

Here, look at this book I got on constitutional law.

Article 3 of the United States Constitution says you have to have two

to the same overt act to convict a man of treason.

But Sergeant McKay already said he saw Sully at the uprising.

There's got to be others who say the same.

I've been talking to the other soldiers.

I haven't found any other witnesses.

Is it possible no one else saw Sully?

I'm going to keep asking around and see what I can find out. But so far, it's

looking that way.

The army sent in General Wooden.

Who is General Wooden? Well, according to Cloud Danson, he's no friend to the

Indians. Or to Sully.

Being here can only mean trouble.

Then it wouldn't.

What can we do, Mega General?

I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here.

Jake Slicker.

Mayor, anything you need, you just let me know.

It's good to have you here, sir.

Now that I am here, you can rest assured that this Indian problem is going to be

solved one way or the other.

You're going to be all right.

Dr. Mike.

Take her to Dorothy.

Jake.

I'm fine.

We need no help.

Turn the wooden.

Turn the wooden.

Dr. Quinn.

You're losing blood.

We need to take him to the clinic.

He said for Andrew and Colleen, we're going to need some help. I'll take care

it. Robert E.

Let me get this off.

Give me a hand.

Sally.

There's been some trouble in town.

An explosion.

How's Michaela? Michaela's fine. The children are, too. But some folks did

hurt, though.

A General Wooden had just gotten there. Wooden here?

Yeah.

The Indians tried to blow up the gold nugget where he stands.

What did they look like?

Well, they're all wearing wolf skins. One of them had his face painted half

black. Black moon.

General Wooden may not live. If he dies, the Army's definitely going to

retaliate. Which only means more raids by the dog soldiers.

And we can't let that happen.

Well, Black Moon's already agreed to meet with Cloud Anson.

Maybe he'll listen to some common sense.

Somebody's still gonna have to talk to Sergeant McKay.

Yeah, well, that ain't gonna be easy.

A lot of anger in town, a lot of folks been hurt.

Whatever we tell him, it better be good.

The femoral artery's been lacerated.

Retractor, please, Colleen.

More conference

It's

gonna live

Somebody's keeping them in supply with dynamite. They're stealing it from the

army. You ask me, somebody is giving it to them. Who?

Sully. He's dead.

You ain't seen no body.

It seems like Michaela's been going out on a lot of house calls lately.

What are you saying?

Dr. Mike invited the whole town to a memorial service for a man who ain't

I'm saying she'd do anything to protect that man.

He is alive.

Put money on it.

Paul's been fast and steady. How's his breathing?

Eight breaths per minute.

Take away the chloroform. The pain should bring him back.

Paul's still faint.

Respirations almost nil.

Prepare the atrophied.

General Wooden?

He's got a life.

It's a good thing there weren't any more serious injuries.

Hank says the army's back out looking for Sully.

That don't mean he's alive.

All I'm saying is we're to smoke this fire.

Maybe Dr. Mike ain't telling us all she...

You're not holding nothing back

from us, now are you, Dr. Mike?

No, I'm not.

Aho.

Aho.

What you did in Colorado Springs will make matters worse between the Army and

our people.

How could things be any worse for my people?

They could all be dead.

And is it better to live?

Get prisoners on a reservation?

Are children starving?

customs and religion taken from us is that the life you would have us lead.

During the time I went on Hanblechia, vision quest, the moon captured the sun.

Day turned to night and many people were afraid.

When I returned, so did the light and others named me Black Moon, the one who

captures the sun and then sets it free.

Now it is the white men that would keep my people in darkness and fear.

Do you not see?

It is my destiny to drive away the forces that would keep us from the

These forces cannot be driven away.

Many have tried. All have failed.

Perhaps I will fail, too.

But if I die, it will be fighting for freedom for my people. There are many

roads to freedom besides war.

Convince the army to grant safe passage to the Tongue River Valley.

To your women and your children.

To your braves if they want it.

Is it not better to live as a free man than to die a renegade?

Which path would your children choose for you?

The army will agree to the safe passage.

We can ask.

You have two days.

What do you think you're doing? I'm calling an emergency town meeting.

For what?

We got engines running wild in our streets.

Killing innocent people.

Destroying property.

And the army's too busy chasing dog soldiers to help us any.

So we gotta take charge.

Starting right now.

You got yourself a new sheriff.

Watch me.

We let a bunch of do -gooders convince us to put our weapons down, and look

happened to us.

Now we got trouble, and we're acting like we don't have to stand up for

ourselves.

What do you expect us to do different?

a new sheriff, we need to call an election. Go about it the right way.

You want an election?

Huh? All those in favor of Hank Lawson, say aye. Aye.

Opposed? No.

Guess I just won.

Now the first thing I'm going to do is track down and bring in the man

responsible for all these engine raids.

Few people know him.

Question for you.

I'm going to go talk to the rest of the soldiers. I'll let you know when I find

out.

Thank you, ma 'am.

It'll be all right back and back.

Sergeant.

I wondered if I might have a word with you.

Five minutes.

All right.

Take a look around you, Sergeant.

What do you see?

Women, children, and old men. That's all you got left here.

Prisoners of war.

They're lost people who've been lied to, cheated and killed, all in the name of

progress. And they've killed the homesteaders and burned their homes to

ground. The dog soldiers did that, Sergeant.

Not these people.

Now, I'm for putting an end to the killing, the same as you are, but

people prisoner has not worked.

I was thinking maybe the Army ought to try something a little different.

Like what?

Like letting them go?

Show the dog soldiers that we don't harm people that ain't warring against us.

Now, if you escort their families...

Indian territory, I think.

The dog soldiers have followed.

The Indians want to live in peace, Sergeant. They want to see their

grow up just the same as you and same as me.

I admire your idealism, Mr. Salmon, but I'm afraid I disagree.

Well, if I'm wrong, what have you lost?

Your men will be freed up to go out and fight the dog soldiers. But I'm right.

You could save a whole lot of lives.

Reverend?

I called for you downstairs.

When you didn't answer, I thought you might be up here.

Please, come in.

How is he doing?

He's recuperating nicely.

Although I wish I could get some more fluids in him.

Dehydration and blood loss is very hard on the heart.

I just can't stop thinking about all the things that General Wooden's done to

cause harm to the Indians, to Sully.

Crossed my mind, too.

Well, it takes a lot of courage to do right by somebody when that person's

nothing but wrong to you.

I've been wondering all morning if, despite all the terrible things he's

if there isn't some element of good in him.

Well, I think there's a spark of good in each of us.

It's just harder to find in some folks than others, but it's there.

I need a couple of men just outside of town there.

Horace, extra rifle for you. Thanks. Any people up on the second floor above the

store? Dine right.

And I need them two men outside the Gold Nugget. Hank, what are you doing? It

ain't your concern, Dr. Mike. I appreciate it. You get off my property.

What the bleach?

I wouldn't do

that. What do you think you're doing?

Scorting these people to their own land? You can't do that. This is Army

business, Mr. Lawson.

You're letting them go?

Please, step aside.

They're letting the prisoners go.

Has the whole world gone crazy?

That's a question you should be asking yourself.

All of you. Dr. Mike?

Dr. Mike?

Yes, I'm coming.

I gotta get out of here.

It appears he's awake.

General Wooden?

Let's drink some water.

You've been badly hurt.

Was there any indication where this meeting might take place?

The only name I got was Two Trees.

Two Trees, they could be anywhere.

Well, we're working on locating that place right now, Sergeant.

Lawson!

Are you positive Blackman is going to be there?

Sometime in the next 24 hours.

That's our information.

You know a place the Indians call Two Trees?

I don't think they ever heard of it.

Jake.

Where are we going?

A place called Two Trees. Engine healing ground.

Army thinks Black Moon's holding a meeting there. So why don't the Army

them in?

Because I didn't tell them where it was. Chance for you and me to bring the

Indians in. No, wait a minute.

Engine healing ground?

How do you know where it is?

So I shall move.

Your scouts have seen the Gay's troops escort our people to Indian territory.

We have given you what we promised.

Where's the jackpot?

Kill them.

No. No more killing.

Fire with the army against me.

These two ain't army.

Look at them.

You trick me with your promises.

Black Moon, your people look to you to lead them.

Do not let your heart carry away your good judgment.

Your people are in the Indian territory.

I'll do anything to stop that now.

Tie them up.

My talks with you are over.

I've talked to everyone who was on the reservation that day.

Nobody but McKay saw Sully.

They don't have two witnesses.

Nope. Here's something else I found out.

In all the treason cases that have been tried by the federal government, there

hasn't been a single conviction.

Not one, Dr. Michael.

I didn't know you knew so much about the law.

You have to know a little about the law to be a sheriff, right?

Yeah. He's been working very hard.

I'm not saying they won't win this one. They've got a lot riding on it, but I'd

say we've got a good chance.

You think he's right, Ma?

Yes, I do.

I'm going to present the case to General Wooden and see if he'll consider

dropping the charges.

But General Wooden hates Sully.

Why would he try and help him? I don't think he has any idea of how difficult

the situation has become.

How badly his soldiers have been treating the Indians.

And once he understands that, I think he'll see that what Sully did was not an

act of treason, but an act of compassion.

We'll write all this out for you in case you need it.

Mom, maybe I shouldn't go back to school.

At least not yet.

We're going to work it out, Colleen.

I promise you.

Hank is doing to this town?

Well, I've been talking to the rest of the town council about holding an

election, a real election.

Are they going to do it?

Well, it wasn't easy convincing some of them, but they've agreed.

Who's going to run against Hank?

I'll do it myself if I've got to. Ryan, would you pass out those notices for me?

Sure. What would I do without you? What would we do without each other?

I was just explaining to the general how you saved his life.

Thank you.

I would appreciate a glass of whiskey for the pain.

There's a small flask in my jacket there. No, whiskey's not a good idea.

A couple of swigs never hurt anybody.

Your heart has suffered a tremendous shock.

Your body is dehydrated.

Any alcoholic consumption could cause serious complications.

I told him the same thing myself.

Well, thank you for staying here through the night.

I'm happy to help out.

Colleen and Katie are waiting for you downstairs.

I'll take you out for breakfast.

Sounds wonderful.

I'll stop by later.

I don't want any more damn water.

General Wooden, there are some things I need to talk to you about.

And I suppose now is as good a time as any.

At least for the moment I have your complete attention.

Who? Daniel!

Hey, Brian!

There's going to be an election for sheriff.

Sound like a good idea.

I don't think so, but thanks for the thought, anyhow.

Just an idea.

I'll see you later.

Come on, folks.

Any chance of you changing your mind?

Some of the folks in town, me included, think you're the man for the job.

Well, they seem to think you've already done buying up all the reservation land,

Francis.

To tell you the truth, Robert E., why didn't that land let me fly, bro?

I'm afraid I've got to be moving on.

Find some work.

Better.

Sad state.

Yeah, I'll give it some thought.

In the meantime, I think I threw a shoe.

I wonder if you'd take a look for me? Yeah.

They nearly beat Cloud dancing to death.

They were returning to the reservation an hour late?

Your soldiers are completely out of control.

Ridiculous. These engines are savages, Dr. Quinn. It's as simple as that.

You give them a place to live and free food, and they show their gratitude by

burning everything to the ground. No, sir.

you will not convince me of the noble red man.

And if you think for one second that I would show your turncoat husband any

mercy, you are sadly mistaken.

And perhaps you'd like to look at this situation from a practical point of

Read this, and you can tell me what you think the government's chances are of

convicting my husband of treason.

My son Matthew has been looking into constitutional law.

I don't believe you have enough witnesses to convict.

Jake! Hank!

Are you all right? What happened?

What happened?

You want to know what happened?

Does everybody want to know what happened?

Hey, just shut up.

They want to know.

I'll tell them.

We come across a war party yesterday.

Same engines that blew up my hotel.

Guess who else was at this little war party?

The not -so -dead Sully.

That's right, Sergeant.

Sully. The man the whole army can't fight.

true no are you gonna tell us what is true and what ain't

jake sorry dr mike i saw him with my own eyes sally's alive

Well, Dr. Quinn?

The entire matter is in General Wooden's hands. It's just you and me with him.

General Wooden has agreed to ask for a reduced sentence for selling.

I'm going out there and talk to him about it now.

You can't go out there alone.

I'll ride along with you.

Take care of things here.

Good luck, Mom.

Tell Sally we love her.

He said seven years is the best he can do.

We don't have to agree to those terms.

We have a good case, one that Matthew thinks we can win.

But if we don't?

It must be better to set wood and steel than to give the army the opportunity to

hang you.

Seven years and I come home.

Same way we always got on.

Standing up for what we believe in.

Loving the children.

Hanging on to each other.

Daniel, I know I've asked a lot of you these past few months.

Well, you ain't never asked me for nothing I didn't want to give.

I'd be much obliged if you'd run for sheriff.

Sully, that'd put you and me on opposite sides. I can't do that. Someone's got

to bring some sense back into town, stop Hank from taking over.

Make sure that people are all treated fairly.

Even if I said yes, there's no guarantee the folks in town would vote for me.

You forget.

You're not convincing you can be.

Better get going back before we wouldn't change his mind.

I'm gonna go see if I can find Robert E.

Tell him I'm running for sheriff.

Well, that's wonderful news, Danny.

What?

What?

Colleen, digitalis, hurry!

You're gonna be all right. Just keep breathing.

You're gonna be all right.

Don't you dare die.

Ma.

I told him he shouldn't drink.

He took the whole flask.

Ma. I warned him that his heart couldn't take the strain.

Ma, he's dead.

Are you sure you don't want me to stay?

Of course I want you to stay.

But it's important for you to go back to school.

It's important for all of us that we try to lead normal lives again.

I guess Brian and Matthew are keeping up pretty well with Katie.

We're all going to marry.

Tell Sally I said goodbye, would you?

Love you, Ma.

Is that in the cave?

When you saw General Wooden yesterday, before he died, I wondered if you had a

conversation with him about my husband.

No.

Did he say anything at all about an agreement?

Well, when I went up to see him, he told me he didn't want to discuss anything,

so I gave him his privacy.

That was the last I saw of him.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Most of you here know me.

You've known me for a long time.

And you know what kind of sheriff I'll be.

One that'll protect you from renegades and outlaws no matter who they are.

You got two choices when you go to vote.

Hank Lawson, who ain't never lied to you.

Or Telly's best friend.

It's up to you.

So, uh, you gonna say anything?

Or shall we just go vote?

Well,

I'm afraid I...

Can't tell you much about myself.

I sure won't argue with what Hank there said, because Hank's a good man.

I'm sure he's done a lot of fine things for Colorado Springs.

Of course, I'm new in town, so I don't know what those things are, but I'm sure

he's done something.

Like maybe help you build your homestead.

Maybe he brought...

Food to you during the drought your families were starving Maybe help you

bury your kin That's the kind of thing Hank there do cuz

Thanks a good man, I never done nothing like that really

Well, maybe help you find the new medicine when the influenza hit nothing

was working or just maybe

He'd give his own blood.

Save your life.

You're talking about Sully.

That's right.

Sully's done that and more for us. Yeah, but he also give them Indians the

dynamite. Let's not forget that.

Oh, that's right. He nearly killed Jake and Hank.

Tell him, Jake.

Well, that ain't exactly what I... What was that, Jake? You know, I didn't quite

hear what you said.

He was there all right. He just...

He

didn't try to kill her.

In fact, the Indians wanted to kill her.

And he wouldn't let them.

The boat will take place at 2 o 'clock this afternoon at the sheriff's office.

Katie for me? Yeah.

Mr.

Bray!

The other day, when you took me out to that fishing hole, and you offered to

take me fishing any time I wanted, I knew you were trying to cheer me up.

And I felt really bad about you thinking my pa was dead.

Yeah.

Well...

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you then, Mr. Gray.

Well... I was wondering... if it's all right with you?

If maybe we could still go fishing sometime?

Of course we can.

Sergeant McKay?

Sergeant McKay.

Two months ago, you came to me and you asked me where my husband was.

You promised me that you'd do everything in your power to get him a reduced

sentence if I told you.

I did that. I trusted you.

Now, I know that a lot's happened since then.

I just wanted to know.

If that offer of help still stands.

Well, you have to see.

Tell me what it is you think I can do to help.

Hank.

Hank.

Daniel.

And the last one is Hank.

151. And Daniel... 157.

I suppose everything you told me is true.

I suppose I haven't agreed with you.

I'm just a sergeant.

Who's going to listen to what I have to say?

Mr. Perry as well.

They put you in charge here. I believe they'll listen to you.

And if they don't?

Well, we'll face that obstacle if it comes.

Couple winners.

Sure.

Bring me back a pen and paper.

Dr. Quinn has a letter she needs me to write.

Robert E., Robert, is something wrong? No, no.

I wanted to see you in private to bring you something.

I made him for Sully.

Figured he could use some help taking care of himself till he comes home.

Robert E., I don't know what to say.

Well, I would suggest a prayer.

Yes, of course, I pray every day.

No, I meant in the church right now.

You said from Robert E.

Sergeant McKay's written a letter for us. He's taking it to Denver himself.

That's good.

There's a gathering of brave and elders in the Indian territory.

Black Moon is going there to recruit.

You're going also?

Cloud dancing with me.

We've got to speak with them.

Make sure they know what Black Moon is doing is wrong Let me be back as soon as

I can
