All language subtitles for Dr Quinn s06e07

Previously on Dr. Quinn Medicine. He's
wanted for treason and murder.

Dorothy has told me that there have been
many raids on the town.

Oh, it's become a war.

Then I must do what I can to stop it. My
talks with you are over.

Would you care to take a walk with me?

Yes, Mayor Slickard, I would.

Jake's been sweet on her for months.

What? You think a woman should be a
woman? What's wrong with that? You

know what to do with a real woman.

What's going to happen to me when I die?

Come on, Katie.

Come on.

Katie, careful.

I know the minute I take my eyes off of
her, she'll fall and hurt herself.

Part of finding your balance means
falling down from time to time, doesn't

She misses you so much.

Every morning she stands at the window
looking out, saying, Papa.

Maybe her Papa's going to be able to
come home sometime soon.

Huh, Katie?

We've been talking to some of the
renegade graves.

And I think that maybe we'll be able to
reach an agreement another day or two.

And if you do?

It'll be the end of the fighting.

Are they going to be bringing you home
again?

I hope so.

I need to send a telegram to all the
mental homes in Boston.

Don't you think you're getting a little
ahead of yourself, huh?

So what do you think?

Makes the place look twice as big, don't
it?

We're losing money every month.

You go out and buy a mirror.

You gotta spend money to make money,
partner.

We got a big problem. Where's Danny?

He went up to Silver Springs.

What's the problem?

What's the problem? I'll tell you what
the problem is. Women.

Temperance women.

Lauren just got a telegram.

Bunch of temperance ladies coming to
town today. They want to meet with them.

The hell is a temperance lady?

Prohibitionists. They're a bunch of
hatchet -faced old biddies is what they

Wanting to stop everybody from enjoying
a good drink of whiskey now and again.

They're here.

Come on. You got to stop them from
getting off that train.

Why do they want to meet with you
anyway? They ought to be meeting with

mayor. Maybe they heard the mayor owns
the saloon.

Careful not to rile them up. These
temperance ladies can be dangerous.

What do you mean dangerous? I've seen a
picture of one once. She's six feet

tall, as big as a man. So?

She was carrying a hatchet. A hatchet.

Oh,

you

must be Lauren Bray.

You look exactly as I had imagined you.

I do? Only nicer.

Oh, yeah, I got this calendar.

It's right here.

You sent this telegram? Bringing
temperance ladies to Colorado Springs.

talk. Marjorie. It doesn't say Marjorie.
Of course it does.

I wouldn't send a telegram without
finding my name. Bringing temperance

Blah, blah. Must talk.

It doesn't say Marjorie. Well, how were
you supposed to know who it was from?

I'm so happy to see you.

Aunt Marjorie.

Matthew!

What's this all about? Are you joined up
with the temperance movement? Indeed, I

have. And let me tell you something.

By the time we're done, Colorado Springs
won't be the same.

The greatest enemy we face today is
drunkenness. I do think strong drink

down a man's spirit. It can destroy his
soul and lead him to a life of crime.

I don't know about that.

Lauren, thousands of women are beaten
and abandoned by their drunken husbands

every year. I ain't saying that's a good
thing. What I am saying is that men

beat their wives without drinking.

If you don't believe me, maybe you'll
listen to the opinion of someone you

respect. I respect your opinions,
Marjorie, no matter how wrong they are.

I'm Mrs. Morales.

I'm sorry I hurried off so quickly, but
Miss Quinn makes me very nervous.

I know what you mean.

The last time she was here, she intruded
on my plan.

She intrudes on a lot of things.

I was wondering if you'd consent to
having an early supper with me this

Supper? Yeah, say, five o 'clock.

Fortunately, I've already promised my
time to him.

I'm sorry.

Oh, well, um... Maybe some other time.

That would be very nice. Good day.

I can't say that I support total
abstinence. No, I believe in moderation.

The good book itself tells us, use a
little wine for thy stomach's sake.

1 Timothy, chapter 5, verse 23.

Proverbs. Yes, but the Bible also says,
it biteth like a serpent and stingeth

like an adder.

Proverbs 23, 32.

Eat thy bread with joy and drink thy
wine with a merry heart.

Ecclesiastes 9, 17.

Drink ye and be drunken and spew and
fall.

and rise no more because of the sword
that I will send among you.

Jeremiah 25, 27.

Fire woman!

Matthew?

There's your mic.

Michaela.

Marjorie. Oh, it's so good to see you.

Now he says there's progress in the
talks with the Indians.

This will clear the way for him to come
home.

How was your meeting?

The elders want to make this agreement.

But they will not do so unless they have
Black Moon's blessing.

I guess we're going to have to find him
and convince him.

He still refuses to meet with us.

We'll have to change his mind.

The future of women and children
everywhere depends on this temperance

Brian. What do you mean?

Well... If men continue to spend their
hard -earned money at bars and taverns

across the country, coming home drunk
and abusive, their children and wives

going to suffer.

Drinking can lead directly to crime and
poverty and even insanity.

It can?

I've seen it firsthand, Brian.

Your Uncle Everett, my former husband.

Suffice it to say that without this
poison tearing people apart, the world

be a much, much better place.

In the words of our Reverend Lyman
Beecher, abstinence guarantees personal

salvation and social stability.

You think he's right, Ma?

Well, with your Aunt Marjorie working
for it, anything's possible.

You know, Hank is right.

It really does make the whole place look
bigger.

Thought you'd be spending time with
Marjorie.

Oh, she's got a few things to attend to.

Things? What kind of things?

She's probably having dinner with Dr.
Mike.

You don't even know where she is?

Marjorie ain't like other women.

You could say that again.

She don't answer to other people.

I'd never let a woman write roughshod
over me like that. Uh -huh.

Well, just don't be so all -fired sure
you know what you would do or wouldn't

do.

No.

I'm going over to Grace's to get some
supper.

Want to come along?

Well, I don't suppose Grace's meatloaf
will hurt me anymore than this rock -out

whiskey. Keep it.

Well, you see, folks always think they
know what they would do in a given

situation. I thought I knew what I'd do
with Marjorie, but the truth is you

never know what you would do when you're
in love.

Jake! He's drunk. He's been drinking all
night. Thank you, Marjorie. I can see

that. No other cowboy knows her.

Nobody, only me.

What in the hell are you doing up there?

What's it look like?

I'm thinking.

Come on down, Jake, before you hurt
yourself.

She cried so when I left her.

I'd like to broke my heart.

I don't know what comes next.

No! We'll help you remember the rest of
the song. Just put down the gun. We'll

help you. I'll go get it. Be careful.

She's the sweetest rose of color this
cowboy ever...

You can talk about your Clementine and
sing a rosary.

Please,

come down.

Making a fool of yourself, Jake.

Feels so good.

Can

you

move your arm?

His breathing's all right. I think he's
broken his wrist.

Well, there's very little swelling.

It should heal quickly.

It seems like a day doesn't go by when
something bad don't happen.

I wish there was something I could do
for her.

She's not eating, she's not sleeping.

It's been a terrible time for both of
you, Robert E.

With your son.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Exactly.

Are you out of

your mind?

This is a saloon, a place people come to
drink.

If I don't sell whiskey, I don't have a
business.

But you still have the hotel.

My saloon business is keeping the hotel
alive.

There are other things that people can
do here besides drink, Hank. Like what?

Well, they could come together here to
smoke cigars, have civilized

conversation. So they're going to pay me
to come here and talk.

Maybe. If they were learning something,
I'd be happy to give a lecture on the

history of women's rights in the 19th
century.

You could charge admission for that.

You don't have to pay me anything.

Get out.

You'd be elevating your soul, Hank,
along with those of your customers.

My soul is elevated just fine.

Now get out of here before I throw you
out.

At least tell me that you're going to
think about it.

All right, all right. I was just leaving
anyway.

May I speak with you all?

The way Mayor Snickle was in the
balcony, drunk and angry.

Is he like this often?

No, not often.

And I've never seen him quite so out of
control.

But sometimes he does drink too much. Is
there anything you can do to help him?

Of course there is.

Marjorie, please.

I'm afraid medical science has not yet
found a cure for intoxication. I'm not

talking about medical science. I'm
talking about abstinence.

All Jake needs to do is take the pledge.

What is the pledge?

All he needs to do is swear in front of
a group of people that he'll never drink

again. But Jake has never expressed any
interest in putting down the bottle. I

know, but maybe it's never been worth it
to him before.

Do you think it is possible?

I don't know.

You said to me yourself.

Anything's possible.

I did receive something a few weeks ago.

Ah, here it is.

I haven't had a chance to do my own
analysis of it yet.

It's a proprietary curative.

Dr. Keeley's double chloride of gold
cures drunkenness. 100 % guarantee.

Has there been any studies on it? Well,
it comes with testimonials from doctors

in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia.

And Dr. Keeley's sending up sanatoriums
all over the United States to dispense

it. But there's been no research?

No.

My guess is it's small amounts of gold
dust in water.

I can't imagine how it would do any
good.

Well, if it'll do no harm, it might be
worth a try.

That doesn't sound like the kind of
advice you're used to giving, Michaela.

Well, this is the worst I've ever seen
Jake.

I'm afraid he might seriously hurt
himself or someone else.

Grace, how's the tonic working for you?

Just fine, Dr. Cook. I came by to pick
up some more.

Tonic?

Grace has been having a little trouble
sleeping.

So I recommended she try the Chateau
Springs health tonic.

I see.

Grace?

Like I said, I'm... I'm real sorry for
the harm I done you. I didn't mean it.

I want to pay whatever it costs for Dr.
Mike to fix you up.

Here.

And maybe I can help you around here if
you need.

I appreciate that, Jake.

At least I can do that and offer you my
sincere apology again.

Chuck? Dr. Mike, I was, uh...

Just telling Robert E that I'm off the
bottle for good.

Well, that's wonderful news, Jake, if
you're serious about it.

I am.

You've never been interested in stopping
before.

Why now?

I don't recall ever shooting at people
before. I don't recall ever breaking a

man's arm or cutting into his business.

I suppose those are two good enough
reasons to stop.

Well, that's...

I was talking with Andrew, and he... We
thought that this might be of some help

to you.

What is it for?

It's a curative for drinking.

A tablespoon a day is supposed to take
away the craving for alcohol.

Thanks just the same, Dr. Mike, but I...
I think I can handle this all right on

my own.

Are you sure?

I've never been so sure of anything in
my life.

Well, I'm happy for you, Jake. I truly
am.

Robert Eaton.

You want to talk with me?

It's about Grace.

Hey.

Oh. I, um... I hope you're feeling
better.

I don't know what to say about, um...
yesterday.

See?

It was stupid. I don't know. I saw you
and Hank together and something just

suddenly just... I'm sorry.

That is why you drink so much whiskey?

I couldn't figure what you were doing
there with... I still can't.

Mayor Slicker.

I would be happy to tell you anything
that you want to know.

But some things... This is a private
matter.

I have given my word.

If you could just trust me. Of course I
trust you. I just want to know what you

were doing at Grace's Cafe with Hank.

I've got customers waiting.

You're working the bar today.

That's our agreement.

Yeah, well, I'm...

I'm busy right now.

You're going to turn this into
something.

Please. It is nothing to get so upset
about. Please.

Please.

I don't think there's any cause for
alarm. She needs the tonic to sleep,

all. But it's not good for her.

If it helps her to sleep.

I mean, I don't see the difference
between that and the tonic you've been

Jake. That's the same thing, ain't it?

No, it's not.

The tonic I was offering Jake is mostly
water.

What Grace is taking is mostly alcohol.

How much is she taking?

Teaspoon for bedtime, that's all.

Will you keep an eye on her?

Let me know if she increases her dosage.

Ayla, you are going too far. This is not
a good idea.

Marjorie, dear, we have tried song, we
have tried counseling, we have tried

prayer. The next step... is the hatchet.
You know that. These are the guidelines

set down by our own Reverend Beecher.

So... Yes, but nowhere in the guidelines
does it say anything about hatchets.

Go and utterly destroy the sinners and
fight against them until they be

consumed. 1 Samuel 15, 18.

Let he who is without sin cast the first
stone.

Exactly.

Ladies, once more, into the breach.

Ladies, welcome to the golden nugget.

You say they just went berserk?

Marjorie tried to stop them, but there
wasn't anything she could do.

Did they make any other plans?

They said they were going to break up
every place that sells liquor.

Excuse me.

This is Morales.

What's all this?

I'm sending it back, Marjorie.

Every ounce of whiskey, brandy, gin.

Even the crook and sherry. Gone.

Nothing's turning out the way that I
thought it would.

Why is that, Lauren?

What do you mean?

I honestly thought that if we just
talked to people and explained it right,

people would be happy to give up
drinking liquor and settling it.

That everyone would get along better.

Not worse.

You know, Marjorie, seems to me that for
a woman as smart as you, you don't have

a lot of sense sometimes.

All we've managed to prove is that you
can bully people into doing what you

them to do.

It's not what I had in mind.

Well, just exactly what did you have in
mind?

I wanted to make the world a better
place.

That's all I ever wanted.

Isn't that what you want?

No.

I guess all I want... I guess all I

want is to figure out a way to fit
myself into the world just the way it

Otherwise...

I wouldn't be able to stand it every
time that train leaves town with you on

Black Moon, you have to listen to us. I
have told you my talks with you are

over. Sully is not your enemy. He is a
friend to our cause.

Black Moon is ahead of vision.

The army, your army, is sending
reinforcements to search for Black Moon.

kill them.

If you don't stand a chance against
them.

One man will slay a hundred, soon
they'll all be dead.

Are you willing to lead your men into a
massacre?

Did you tell them they all will die?

Did you tell them that?

I have had a vision.

You help them hatchet ladies tear up
your own bar?

What the hell were you thinking?

Maybe I was thinking about not being
your partner anymore.

Well, maybe that's a good idea.

Because any man can't hold his liquor,
has no business being around it.

Those temperance ladies are right. It's
the sinners that sell it that are the

devil's tool. It ain't the course to
have to drink.

Well, any man hiding behind the...

skirts of a bunch of bible thumping
spinsters don't deserve the company of a

good woman a real woman

I'm sorry I didn't know

Right. That lawyer in Boston.

Oliver Wendell Holmes?

Right. He thinks we ought to use every
resource that's available to us.

Did he make any suggestions?

Yeah. He thinks since we know President
Grant personally, we ought to write to

him, ask for his help.

You think he would help us?

Yes. Well, it's certainly worth the
letter.

That's right!

How you doing?

Who's that, Brian?

May I help you?

Matthew, would you please take some
fresh coffee?

Matthew.

Matthew. He's my good friend, Matthew.

You're drunk.

Drunk? I'm thrust to the gill.

Have you ever been south to the girls
when you came?

No.

I suppose not.

What do you want, Jake?

What do I want?

I came to ask you for the gold stuff.

Hey, Brian.

Hello, Jake.

Okay.

Did anybody ever tell you?

You.

All I want is that gold. You told

me you'd give it to me.

I need it.

You know that, Katie?

Oh, Uncle Jake.

Okay.

Did you ever hear anything so stupid in
your whole life?

Come on, Katie. I got it.

Katie! Katie!

He's fine. He's fine.

Get out!

Jake.

Wake up, Jake.

I need to talk to you.

All right.

Are you listening to me? I need to know
you're listening to me.

Yeah, so... I can't help you anymore,
Jake.

What do you mean?

I'm sorry you're having a struggle with
alcohol.

I'm sorry that it's ruining your life,
but I can't help you with it.

And I won't let you put my family in
danger.

I don't want you to ever come out here
again.

Clyde Anson, over here.

The bolt went right through.

His heartbeat is very loud.

He's bleeding to death.

You can save his life.

It's too late.

I was wrong about you.

You are not the enemy.

utmost in the night, thinking.

Twyla and the Temperance ladies are
leaving on the train this afternoon.

Leaves at five o 'clock.

I'm not going with them.

I've been thinking about what you said
about trying to fit into life exactly

the way that it is.

Yeah?

And I'm not saying that I want to get
married.

But I want to stay here for a while.

With you.

See what our lives could be like.

If that's all right with you.

If that's all right with me, Marjorie.

I'm going over what I want to say to you
so much, it's all jumbled in my head.

Perhaps there is nothing to say. No, no,
I want to talk to you.

The last couple of days, I've been
telling a lot of people a lot of things

want to hear.

The truth is, I wanted to hear those
things myself.

Somewhere inside me...

I knew I was fooling myself.

I want to tell you, you don't have to be
afraid of me.

I'll never do anything crazy again,
but... But I don't know if I can.

For the first time in my life, I don't
know if I can count on myself.

You do not need to make any promises,
Jim. Yeah, yeah, I do.

I need to make one promise.

To myself and to you.

I promise you to do everything in my
power to stop drinking and make you

of me.

I promise you.

To be the best Jake Slicker I can be.

That's all I can promise.

It is a lot.

Dr. Mike.

What you said this morning.
