All language subtitles for Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman S03e26 Sullys Recovery

Look at that hawk. It's a beauty.

How does it just soar like that?

Silly. Caught a wind current.

He's riding it.

But how does he catch it?

He splats his wings so he feels it take
him.

I wish I could fly.

Next thing we know, you'll be gathering
up twigs to build a nest.

People have been dreaming of flying
since time began.

Well, it looks so easy.

I'm going to build some wings and try
it.

Brian, I don't think that's a very good
idea.

What happened the last time you tried to
fly?

I was younger then. I didn't know any
better.

And I didn't have wings.

Icarus had wings. Remember, we read
about him in school.

Icarus flew too close to the sun and
died.

But he did fly.

That's a myth, Brian.

Maybe if I built some kind of wing.

Or big enough.

Maybe built some kind of machine.

Silly, will you help me?

Who? Build some wing.

I suppose.

Brian, maybe you ought to build a model
first.

That way you can tell if it's going to
work before you try riding it.

Sully, there's a book in the library
that has a picture of a flying machine

it. Will you look at it with me?

Sure.

I'll go get it.

Brian?

Do you think it's wise to encourage him
with this?

He could be hurt.

It ain't going to happen.

Why not?

You can't build a machine that flies.

Try for a while, you're fed up and quit.

Then why start in the first place?

So he'll give up.

What's going on over there?

Indians.

Well, hey, this is the man we've been
looking for. All right, hold it up right

there.

What are you doing?

That means they need up their new
reservation up there near Palma Creek.

They're gonna put Pawnee and you
together? They're enemies.

Then we better tie them up.

Private Hemmings, get some ropes, tie
their hands.

That won't be necessary.

You just said they'll fight.

I said they shouldn't be living on the
same reservation.

These are direct orders from
Superintendent Hazen. He said to round

strays.

Where's Hazen now?

He's camping with the army down at
Wrightwood.

He said to drive all the strays of every
tribe up to Palmer Creek.

And then you're in charge.

I'm in charge.

You're the Indian agent.

Not for long.

This one's called an ornithopter.

It flew 20 yards before... Before what?

It went down in a cornfield.

But nobody got hurt.

But I want to build one with longer,
thinner wings.

The book says there'll be less wind
resistance.

What do you think, Polly?

The wings look all right.

You got no tail.

Well, I haven't drawn that yet.

You gonna put feathers on it?

No. All birds have feathers.

The feathers aren't what makes them fly.

What does make them fly?

Lots of things.

How long the wings are, the shape.

I'm about finished here.

All I have to do is deliver this page
and get right with it.

Dolly, I wish you'd wait and think about
this.

I've thought about it.

Well, Sheeta, you've been so worried
about me and cloud dancing, you haven't

time to sort things out for yourself.

I know what I've got to do.

But resigning?

You see what's happening.

They're throwing Indians in a camp with
other Indians who they don't even know

or understand.

They want to go someplace, they've got
to ask for a path.

And I'm supposed to stand guard, keep
order, and make sure that they don't

wander. And make sure that they receive
what the government promised them.

Schools, farm tools, a clinic.

You know that ain't going to happen.

Sully, you're their only ally.

If you resign, someone with no sympathy
at all will be put in charge.

You can help a great deal by just being
there.

If you can make life easier for one
Indian, one child, it's worth it.

I know where this is going to end.

Those camps are just a hold in action.

Government ain't going to stop until
every Indian has gone from this country,

and I can't be a part of it. I can't
just stand and watch it. So you're going

turn away?

What do you want me to do?

I'll see you all in the morning.

Good night, Sully.

Bye, Sully.

Well,

that's interesting.

What's that?

The government's selling off the land
that belonged to the Cheyenne. They want

me to put a notice in the paper.

Let me see that.

Dorothy, how much money can you get your
hands on?

I don't know.

Do you realize what a boon this is?

Why, that land is going to jump in value
when the train starts bringing new

settlers to town.

We got a chance to make a big profit.

I don't believe in speculating.

Oh, it ain't speculating.

These prices? It's a sure deal.

The trick is to stake out the best plots
for farming or ranching.

Well, you can go after that land if you
want.

I ain't interested.

When's this coming out?

Tomorrow.

You couldn't, uh, hold it a few days?

Moran, I can't do that.

Just give me one day's head start.

Otherwise, the whole countryside is
going to be swarming with buyers.

I don't like asking you, and I won't ask
again.

But I need this, Dorothy.

It's like a nest egg.

You know, in case I get sick or have to
retire.

I helped you get started with that
paper.

Can't you just help me with this?

One day.

That's all.

Thank you.

I'll get going right now.

You can't go riding off in the night.

No, I've got to.

Wrapped up some cold meat.

Thanks.

If you watch Wolf for me while I'm gone,
I suppose I'd yield enough to make this

trip. Yes, of course.

You will be careful, please.

I'm always careful.

That's a little tall there.

That might make a good body.

Could fit the wings on here.

What are you going to make them out of?

Something light.

Maybe brown wrapping paper?

There you are. I've been looking
everywhere for you.

You got any wrapping paper at the
clinic?

Possibly. I'll go see.

This isn't actually going to fly, is it?
It might.

It'd be amazing if it did.

Well, I'd rather if you didn't help
Brian too much.

Why not?

You see the sparkle in his eyes?

I know you're worried.

Worried?

When he jumped off that tree and hit his
head, he almost died.

It's a miracle he survived.

It won't happen this time.

We're going to be watching him.

I'm not going to let him do anything
foolish, I promise.

All right?

What are you doing out here?

Riding out to the army camp.

What for?

I'm resigning as Indian agent.

Finally got some sense in you, huh?

What happened to you?

Oh, I was heading back to town.

Probably going too fast.

But I wanted to get my bid in on that
land.

What land?

Oh, well, with the railroad.

Coming to town, folks are busy running
around, buying and selling, you know.

What are you buying?

I ain't sure.

You're in an awful hurry.

It's Cheyenne land.

Government's selling off parcels of 50
cents an acre.

You mean the land they seized after
Washita?

You can't buy that land.

It's for sale.

Stolen. Oh, no, it wasn't the way I
heard it. The Cheyenne never owned that

land. They were promised it by treaty.

Well, the government's got title to it
now.

You got it with blood, Lorne. Oh, look,
I didn't have anything to do with that.

I didn't want him dead, but somebody's
got to buy that land and make a profit.

You want to make a profit off the
massacre? Oh, don't talk crazy.

You can't lift that from me, would you?

Lorne, you take that land.

There'll be blood on your hand, and I
won't have nothing to do with you. Well,

that suits me fine.

Thought you'd get some sense into you.

I can see that was too much to hope for.
You're on their side even when they're

dead. Their wheel ain't gonna hold.

It'll get me back to town.

Can you move your leg?

No, I don't think so. I felt it.

We've got to get help right away.

Just leave me here.

Ride back to town.

Dr. Mike.

I can't leave you here with all this
blood. There's bears and wolves.

I don't think I can move.

I've got to make something to carry on.

Take you over to the army camp.

Army camp?

Yeah, it's closer than town. There's a
surgeon there.

No, no. I've got to file my claim. I'll
lose that land.

We don't get help back.

You're going to lose that leg.

It's a nasty break, Lauren.

Give me that whiskey.

We really ought to sew you up so you
don't lose any more blood. You ain't

me up.

If you don't, it could get infected and
get gangrene.

I could use horsetail to sew it up.

Horsetail? Works good.

Not in your life.

I don't want to be sewed up by a doctor.
Proper.

All right.

Just gonna have to hope for the best.

Most important.

Gotta keep it real still.

How am I gonna keep her still riding on
that thing?

Would you rather ride the horse?

Come on, I gotta get you in the trap,
Woff.

You sure this thing's going to hold?

Sure, I haven't been using them for
generations.

How's Brian coming along with his flying
machine?

Almost got him out a bit.

That's pretty good.

I wish there was a way to stop this.

Why? All boys like to build things.

It's far too dangerous.

There's danger everywhere. Heck, you can
get run over by a wagon just crossing

the street.

Of course, but there's no need to expose
yourself to unnecessary risk. I know

how you feel you want to protect your
children.

Yeah, but you can't keep them locked up
inside afraid of doing things. When you

came out here by yourself, that was
dangerous.

Oh, I didn't see it that way.

Could have been attacked by engines?

Had a runaway stagecoach?

Bet your ma was worried.

You're always taking risks.

You ran out in front of a herd of
charging horses.

You raced Flash in the Colorado
Sweepstakes.

You and Sully even jumped off a cliff.

But we had no choice.

If we hadn't jumped, we would have been
shot.

Brian has a choice. There are other
things he could build.

Maybe Brian's going to be the first
person to fly.

Maybe that's his destiny.

You want to be the mother who told him
he couldn't try?

What's this happen for?

Rest. I'm all right.

Good, but the horse needs to blow.

You're still bleeding.

What do you expect, banging along on
this thing?

Hold up there.

It'll mean no harm.

We just headed down the road. No, you
wait. Turn around, head back where you

came from. You can't order us around.

This here is the Indian agent for the
territory.

Is that so?

I don't care who he is. He's a
trespasser on our land.

The Cheyenne land.

Not no more.

They're putting up a homestead. But the
sale just started.

Our daddy is in town right now getting a
deed.

So as far as we're concerned, it's ours.

Look, this man is injured.

I need to get him to the army camp at
Wrightwood. You better find another way.

We need help fast. Turn around!

Take the path along that ridge Didn't I
tell you people would be swarming all

over that land?

Wouldn't you rather let me have it than
those twine?

What's the difference?

Who wants to bet that thing goes down
like a brick?

Jake, why do you say that?

You told Michaela she ought to let Brian
do this.

Don't mean I can't make a little sport
of it. I bet it flies.

At least for a minute.

Brian, do you have a name for your
flying machine?

Moonrider.

Where's Dr. Mike?

She had to go see Widow Clark.

I don't think she'll be back before
sundown.

Well, the wind's picking up now, and it
might be gone by sundown.

Ready?

All right, Moon Rider.

Take off!

Fly!

So much for Moon Rider.

Should have called a dirt crasher.

Now, don't make too much of it. It's a
toy.

It's not a toy.

That's right, Brian. It's more like a
weapon. You ought to show it to the

Don't listen to him, Brian.

I won't.

Wings held on good.

Maybe I made them the wrong shape.

I made them straighter across the top.

It might balance better.

Yeah, that's what I'll do.

Come on.

We ain't driving cattle.

Keeps my mind off the pain.

You're giving me pain.

And a headache.

You have to tie it.

All right, I won't sing.

Road's washed out.

What?

I told you we should have gone back to
town.

I can fix it.

Don't waste time.

We got to turn back.

Come on. Get off. Get my leg.

Move it.

Let me balance on you.

You ain't dragging me across that slope.

We can make it.

After this, the road flattens out.

We got a clean stretch all the way to
Wrightwood.

How do you know the rocks ain't gonna
slide again?

I'll test them.

All right.

I've got to carry it across myself.

Don't get the trap walked.

I can't do this.

Come on.

Stay in your good leg.

That's it. I can't look.

Close your eyes.

Sully, this is the harebrainedest, most
idiotic scheme you ever tried.

Why don't you just drop me down the side
of the mountain and have done with it?

Don't tempt me.

We made it. Thank God.

Can you get it?

I'll try.

I can brew you some willow bark tea.

What's that, that engine stuff?

Helps cut the pain.

I'll stick with whiskey.

Thanks for helping me out back there.

I know it wasn't easy with your leg and
all.

Sorry I didn't carry you back to town
like you wanted, Lauren.

This ended up taking longer.

You had no way of knowing.

If it hadn't been for them squatters
there, we'd be back by now.

Maybe I was just too bent on my own
business.

Getting that letter to Hazen.

Maybe I just wasn't thinking right.

You really gonna resign?

I can't work for the government as an
agent now.

What they're doing is evil.

I gotta wash my hands of it.

Well, one thing I know for sure.

I wasn't meant to have that land.

I'll buy it for you.

What?

As soon as we get you to camp, I'll ride
back, put your bid in.

I'll probably make good time.

Beat everybody else.

You'd buy that Cheyenne land for me?

Don't matter now.

What are you going to do now?

We'll follow that ridge.

No, I mean after you resign.

I don't know. Same things, I guess.

Are there many Cheyenne left aside from
Cloud Dancing?

Some northern Cheyenne.

They'll probably be moved to Palmer
Creek.

Well, who's going to look after them?

I don't know.

Seems to me they could use a friend.

I mean, if you was to stay... I can't
stay.

You want me to teach them to be farmers?
They ain't farmers. They're hunters and

nomads. They gotta move every season.
That's how they survive.

Well, they could change.

Farming ain't so bad.

I don't know anything about farming.

I picked a good day.

It's going to fly.

I can feel it. I'm glad we're doing it
out here. We're going to be watching.

Yes, Ma.

Ready?

Yeah, you ready?

Brian, I don't think you're ready for
that.

Sure I am.

You saw it fly.

Once you put your weight in it,
everything will change.

I'm going to build it bigger and heavier
to hold me.

Well, let's put it in the wagon. It's
time to go home.

Drink some more tea.

I suppose the Cheyenne taught you how to
make this stuff, huh?

Dr. Mike got sick with the influenza.

She won't try it either.

Now she uses it all the time.

It works.

I guess that was pretty hard on you.

What's that?

The Cheyenne.

I want to talk about that.

Now, you know I never liked him much,
but... What do you think about Brian?

Want to build a flying machine?

Sully, you can't change what happened at
Washita.

He's always wanted to fly.

Can't figure it.

The boy needs you.

So do the Indians.

There comes a time when you've got to
open your eyes.

Take a deep breath and just start over.
Lorne, please.

You've got so much to look forward to.

Getting married.

Gonna have a whole new family.

Seems like every family I ever had, I
lost.

When I was ten, my pa...

Tried living in the city, and then he
just gave up.

Then my ma drowned herself.

Then I come out west.

Found Abigail.

How's Cheyenne?

Oh, Sally.

I hate to see you like this.

watching me just now you're getting
ready i got the feeling i was born to do

this matthew you ever feel like that not
very much

done a lot of things but mostly i just
fell into him i know i'm supposed

to fly that may be but uh

don't think dr mike's gonna let you

She's got to.

Seems like she made up her mind.

You've got to help me change it.

I can't do that, Brian.

Why not?

Because, Dr. Mike, don't change your
mind. Sure she does.

Not very much.

Telling me to quit?

Just forget about it?

I'm not saying that.

Just maybe I'll wait a few years.

You know, when you're my age, you can
fly all you want. Nobody can stop you.

I can't wait that long.

I don't think you have a choice.

I'm gonna go talk to her.

I wish you luck, little brother.

I mean that.

Hey, Ma.

You busy?

Not too busy for you.

Let's sit down.

Remember how you once told me people
always laugh at folks who try new

Yes. Like Columbus.

People thought he was dangerous when he
sailed across the ocean.

They thought he'd fall off the edge of
the earth or get eaten by sea monsters.

Columbus was a grown man.

You're still young.

I don't want to hold you back, but it's
my job to protect you from harm. I won't

get hurt.

Please, just think about it.

Young people never imagine that they're
ever going to be hurt.

We almost lost you, Brian.

And that was terrible to bear.

I'll fly down onto a haystack.

I've jumped onto them lots of times
before.

So has Matthew.

But there are many other things that you
could try.

But I've got to do this.

When I see a bird, like that hawk,

I'd help wondering what it's like up
there.

Just way above the ground, looking down
at the trees, the meadow.

Brian, I love it that you're curious,
but... You'd feel so free.

Just floating there.

In the clouds.

What's it like when you fly through a
cloud?

Is it like smoke?

Girls that like cotton.

You think you could sit on one?

I don't think so.

I want to find out.

More squatters up ahead.

How many?

Looks like a married couple.

Sully, that's a burial ground, isn't it?

Yep.

You've got to stop those folks. They're
going to build right on top of it.

So, you're going to build on the land as
well.

But this is sacred ground.

You don't care about that.

No, but you do.

At least ways you always did.

You always cared.

You're not the Sully I know.

Like you said, Lorne.

We stop them, somebody else will build
here.

Stop them too?

The ones that come after that?

They're gonna keep coming and there's
nothing we can do about it.

Nothing. There's always something to do.

You know that.

You just ain't got the guts anymore.

That's why you're quitting.

You're giving up, just like your pa and
your ma.

You're quitting because you're a coward.

You're a fool.

I may be a fool, but I'm telling the
truth.

You just don't want to hear it.

What's wrong?

Did you hear that?

Is he going to come back?

He's gone after that herd.

I'll have to track him later.

Leave me here.

No, I mean, I can't walk.

Yes, you can.

Camp's just over that rise.

So far.

You've given up on everything anyway.

Come on.

Get up.

I need a big piece of wood for the bar.

Check the scrap pile?

Yeah. I used everything I could find
there.

Good morning.

Is this the one you plan to fly on?
Yeah.

Well, where do you sit?

Under here.

on right here and run with it. And then
sit down and pull my legs up.

I see.

And I'm going to build wings that are
shaped like a bird. See?

That's a very good drawing.

Thanks.

But I'm afraid that's all it's going to
be for now.

Drawings. Like that.

It's cost him way more than I thought.

I spent all my savings.

Borrowed money from Matthew.

Well, I say you might be able to do some
odd jobs for him.

I'd have to do an awful lot.

How much do you think it would cost you?

Let's see.

I want to buy silk for the wings,
because it's so light.

Then I need rope, glue.

Five dollars.

Well, it's your birthday coming up.

Why don't we consider this your present?

Ma! I was wondering what to give you.

You solved my problem.

Thank you.

I'm dead.

I'm going to get you cleaned up, make
sure there's no fragment of bone in

cut away the dead skin.

We'll give you some chloroform.

Doc, the leg, is it going to be all
right?

There's some infection, but it doesn't
look too serious.

Lucky your friend got you here in time.

Once we get your legs stitched up, it
should heal just fine.

I'm gonna see Hazen, and I'll borrow a
horse and ride back to town.

You don't need to go rushing into town.

Why's that?

Because I ain't gonna buy that land.

Why not?

I don't feel like it, that's why.

You heard the surgeon here.

Your leg's gonna heal just fine. It
ain't that.

It's just that... Well, I've been
thinking about what you said.

I don't want to make a profit off of all
that killing.

Agent Sully!

Agent Sully!

You wanted to see me.

Sir.

You probably heard I'm putting you in
charge of Palmer Creek.

They have to draw up a plan to keep the
peace up there.

Some trading guidelines.

It's a better proposal in about one
month's time.

I trust there won't be a problem.

I'm here.

You've stirred up everyone's interest,
Brian.

The whole town has flying fever.

Here, help me.

Thanks, but I can't see Rogovitz at all.
You'll be able to see just fine.

Please, wear it.

Don't be scared, Ma.

I'm going to glide right down to that
hay.

Glad you're back.

Gone so long?

Lauren?

What happened? Oh, I had an accident
with a wagon, but I'm all right. Oh,

Lauren. We borrowed this from the army.

So you saw Hazen?

Yeah.

What's going on here?

Brian's going to fly his machine.

Come on, Lauren. You got it built
already?

Third one he built.

And you're letting him fly it? Oh, there
was no stopping that boy. He wouldn't

quit no matter what.

Looks like he's ready.

All

right,

here we go.

Everyone clear the path.

You gotta have faith. I got faith. You
ain't gonna make it.

Ready to fly?

Please let him land safely.

When was it right?

Ready?

One,

two, three.

The fly machine was terrible. Oh, but at
least you're safe.

I thought I'd make it through the trees
and back.

All I did was go straight down. It was a
wonderful effort. You did just fine,

Bri. We're proud of you.

Maybe next time you can make something
practical, like a new wagon for me.

But why didn't it fly?

It will. It was your first try. Don't
give up. Oh, Sally, folks ain't meant to

fly. Why not?

Because they haven't found a way yet.

Maybe I kept the wings too far forward.

Maybe that threw the balance off.

Could be. Why don't you go get your
drones?

Robert E.

Robert E., can I have those drones?

Yeah, they're right over here.

They'd be back.

You haven't told me.

How did Hazen respond to your letter?

He didn't.
