You're mistaken.

I'm Andrew Strauss
from Philadelphia.

No, I'm not mistaken.

Your face has changed
and your voice...

I remember these hands.

I-I watched them
for so many hours in surgery.

Would you like
to see my papers?

That's why you knew
about Sully's megrim.

You were always so brilliant
at diagnosing.

It was a guess, a mere guess.

I'm flattered that I remind you
of someone you admire, but...

The toast!
The toast you just made.

It was the same toast that you
made at our engagement party.

We were in the ballroom
of your parents' house.

My father was standing
beside us.

You -- You looked into my eyes,

and you held my hand, and you
recited, "Oh, my love --"

Robert Burns is often recited
at weddings.

Why do you deny it?

Because it's not so.

The man you speak of is dead.

Perhaps you're right.

I'm mistaken.

The David I knew
would never lie to me.

Michaela...

I'm sorry.

You didn't die?

No.

I...

I can't -- I can't grasp this.

I know.
It must be a terrible shock.

David, do you know

how many times I prayed
that I would see you again?

I've written you
so many letters.

Well, I didn't get any.

- I never sent them.
- But why?

I'll tell you everything,
in time.

But where have you been
these -- these past seven years?

We were told
you were killed at Bull Run.

I was left for dead.

I was hit by cannon fire --
my legs, my neck, face.

Some farmers took me in
and nursed me.

But then I was captured
and taken down to Andersonville.

Oh, my God.
Andersonville?

I don't want
to talk about that now.

Let me look at you.

Why didn't you send word?

I was barely conscious.

And when I did begin
to recover my senses,

I was sure I'd never walk again.

I was half blind, crippled.
I couldn't speak.

If I'd known, I would've come.

I learned
that I'd been reported dead.

You, my family,
everyone had been notified.

You'd already buried what you
thought were my remains.

And I decided
it was better to spare you.

Spare me?

You were young and beautiful.

I didn't want you saddled
with a helpless invalid.

I wanted to spare you pain.

Then why did you come back now?

Because...

...things changed.

After a few years, the feeling
came back to my legs.

I learned to walk again.
I learned to speak again.

I thought...

What did you think?

I could never stop
thinking about you.

I know I made a mistake,
a grievous one.

That's partly why I came here.

Why did you pretend
to be someone else?

I didn't want to intrude
if you were happy.

Michaela, please believe me.

What I did, I did from love.

And I'm sorry for the injury
I caused you.

And I ask your forgiveness,

if you could ever
find it in your heart.

Oh, David, of course
I forgive you.

You're alive,
and that's all that matters.

Oh, I must go.

There you are!
Can we stay for the shivaree?

- I don't think so.
- Please?

What's a shivaree?

Well, it's -- it's a custom.

People play a joke
on the wedding couple,

and it's not a very kind one.

Well, I'm staying.

I'd rather
you come along with us now.

I can get back on my own.

Matthew, please come along.

Thank you.

Ah.

Horace?

Something in that punch.

Horace, are you all right?

Yeah.

Can I help ya?

Nope.

I'm all right.

Horace, you coming out?

I miss ya.

I'll be out in a minute.

Hey, there.

You -- You comfortable?
You want some water?

No, thanks.
I'm fine.

I like your hat.

Thanks.

My ma knit it.

Feelin' sleepy?

No.

Ain't you cold?

A little.
You want to come sit by me?

I think we
ought to say our prayers.

Prayers?

All right.

Thank you, Lord,
for givin' us our weddin' day.

It was worth all the waitin'.

And I pray you'll help me
to be a good husband

and let me always love
and take care of...

...my wife.

Amen.

You're my wife now.

I am.

Come to sleep.

Don't be nervous.

Well, it's -- it's just that...

...I ain't never done this.

Oh, don't worry.
I've had plenty of fellas.

I-I mean that ain't nothin'
to fret about.

I don't want to disappoint ya.

You could never disappoint me.

I love you.

And I'm gonna love you
for the rest of my days.

Sully, the most extraordinary
thing has happened.

I know.

You know?

I heard you before,
outside the saloon.

You and, uh...

David.

Yeah.

Do you want to talk about it?

I hardly know what to say,
it's such a shock.

Are you glad to see him?

Glad? I...

Yes, I'm glad.
I'm -- I'm thrilled he's alive.

And I'm upset that he's
deceived me all these years.

And I'm frightened.

What are we going to do?

What do you want to do?

I don't get what you're saying.

Andrew is David?

I don't understand.

As I said,
David was horribly injured.

His body was so crippled

and disfigured that he just
didn't want to come home.

So he -- he took on
another man's name.

So, what are we supposed to
call him now, David or Andrew?

Who's Andrew Strauss?

He was another prisoner
at the camp.

They served together and --

and he died in David's arms.

What does this all mean?

What about Sully?

Are you and David
still engaged?

Technically, I suppose we are.
It was never broken off.

If he hadn't died or --
or said he died,

would you have married him?

Well, I'm sure
that I would have.

So, are you gonna
marry him now?

- Will he be our pa?
- Our pa?

Dr. Mike, if you want me
to get your ring back...

Oh, no, wait a minute.
I gave it to you.

It belongs to you and Ingrid.

But I thought you
and Sully were engaged.

- We are.
- So, you're engaged to two men?

I still can't believe
it's true.

I know.

I didn't sleep at all.

The children have been
asking all sorts of questions.

Michaela, I never
meant to disturb your life here.

Once I saw how happily settled
you were, with a practice,

family, a fiancé,
I packed my things to leave.

I'm very glad that you didn't.

I think it's best
if I do leave now.

How can you suggest that?

I'm afraid my presence here
will only cause greater harm.

Why don't you let me
decide that, please?

Michaela...

You can't show up after seven
years of being thought dead

and then just walk out again!

There's so many things
I want to know, so --

so many things
I want to tell you.

Please, just --
just stay a while longer.

I think you owe me that.

Engaged to two men?

Did you hear that?

Dr. Mike's a -- what do you
call it -- a bigamist!

No, Jake, that's when you're
married to two people.

So, what's she gonna do?

She's not sayin'.

I don't think she knows.

Well, this fella Andrew...

- David!
- Whatever.

He was engaged to her first,
so he's got the prior claim.

Oh, that was seven years ago.

I'd say it's expired.

He let her think he was dead.

That's the same
as breaking it off.

I think she's a free woman.

Besides, she loves Sully!

Yeah,
but she loved this David, too.

She probably still does.

People change in seven years.

No telling what the war
did to him, either.

Look what it did to my son.

What's Sully say about this?

If it were me, I'd run
that flower-pickin' jackass

right out of town.

But a promise is a promise!

Why, he was off riskin'
his life for his country.

A woman ought to wait.

- Even if he's dead?
- But he ain't!

Stop it.

This ain't none
of your business.

Let 'em work it out among 'em.

Leave 'em be.

Don't you miss
practicing medicine?

No.

I couldn't go back to it after
the war, after Andersonville.

Why not?

Couldn't bear
to see more suffering.

I've seen enough.

You had such talent, David.

My talents were useless
in that camp.

One out of every three prisoners
that came there died.

I was powerless to do anything
about it.

Well, that was
an extreme situation.

I was sickened by what humans
could do to humans.

It wasn't just the enemy --

grown men beaten and killed
for a shoelace.

So I retreated, went
to the mountains, to nature.

Things in nature
are fair and clean.

Animals only kill
what they need to survive.

They don't kill
for sport or principle.

You, Michaela, are you happy?

About many things, yes.

Horace!

How's the groom doin' today?

Changed man, are ya?

I'm busy right now.

Did you like our serenadin'?

'Cause we can come back
again tonight.

Don't you dare!

Now, Horace,
they didn't mean any harm by it.

Uh, it's just a custom
for havin' fun at the newlyweds.

Well, it couldn't have come
at a worse time.

- We'd just finished prayin'.
- Prayin'?

I applaud that.

We was startin'
to feel all nice and lovin',

then that noise started up.

Well, it wasn't funny!

I plumb lost the mood!

You'll get it again.

You ever lose the mood?

Me?
Never.

I never did, either.

Horace, if I could have
a word with you,

some business
we need to attend to.

I just want to tell you, all men
lose their mood sometime.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Some just, uh,
they don't let on about it.

So, what do I do?

The next time that the mood
is there, don't wait.

Act.

- Thank you, Reverend.
- You're welcome, Horace.

So, what do you like to do,
Brian?

I don't know.

- He likes fishing.
- Ah.

With worms?

- If I can find 'em.
- Good.

Maybe I can help you there.

I spent a lot of time
watching worms.

Sounds boring.

Actually,
it's quite interesting.

Worms keep the ground
airy and fertile.

Did you know every inch
of the Earth's surface

has passed through the body
of a worm?

Never thought about it.

Sully.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Oh, not at all.
Would you like some supper?

Please, join us.

You got to move.

That's Sully's seat.

Brian, that's rude.

But it is!

Don't bother.
I ain't hungry.

Please, Sully,
I'd like you to stay.

So would the children.

They can speak for themselves.

I'm sorry.

There's no reason
we can't be civil.

Civil?

You lied to me, Andrew!

You lied to all of us!
You call that being civil?

I regret that,
but I had reasons...

If you had any honor,

you would've told us
who you were from the start

instead of letting us
take you in like a friend

while you were pryin'.

I did what I thought was best.

Now, I know you're angry,

but I have as much right
to be here as you have.

- Now, Michaela and I --
- I heard enough!

Sully, don't go.

Wait.

- Take your hands off...
- Stop!

- Take it easy!
- Stop it!

Take it easy!

Take it easy, all right?

Michaela, I told you I didn't
want to cause you more pain,

but I find that my feelings
for you are as strong as ever.

If you can tell me
you have no feelings for me now,

I'll leave tomorrow.

Don't leave.

Sully.

This has all been so sudden.
I...

I need time to think.
We all need time to think.

About what?

Our engagement's off.

I didn't say that.

Yeah, you did, just now.

It's got to be so unsettling
for ya.

It is.

Some folks envy you, having
two men wanting to marry you.

But I know what it's like
to be caught in the middle.

Got no peace.

And yet,
I used to wish for this.

It was always on my mind,

"What -- What if David
hadn't died?"

Are you sure it's him
you're wishin' for?

What do you mean?

Sometimes the mind
plays tricks on you.

You remember
all the good things,

and the rough spots
sort of fade away

until it's not
the person anymore,

it's just this rosy memory.

He was my first love,
first man I ever kissed.

You never forget the first.

We come from the same world.

When I'm with him,
my mind moves more quickly.

There are things we can
talk about, things that --

things that I could never
share with Sully.

Yet Sully knows me in a --
in a way that David never has.

Sully stirs something
inside of me, something --

something
I can hardly put into words.

Does David?

Yes.

Ah, I see.

What am I to do?

Oh, I guess you just got to...

Take some time.

Take some time and then decide.

Only don't wait too long.

Welcome to our spring concert!

For our first number,

we're gonna do
"Sweet Betsy from Pike."

Ready?

♪ Did you ever hear tell
of Sweet Betsy from Pike? ♪

♪ She crossed the wide prairies
with her husband, Ike ♪

♪ With two yoke of oxen
and one spotted hog ♪

♪ And a tall Shanghai rooster
and an old yeller dog ♪

Sully, I never
wanted to hurt you.

And it pains me that I have.

I don't want
to break things off.

I -- I didn't plan this.

I know you had no say
in him showing up.

But you got a say
in what's happening now.

- I just need time.
- I think it's time

that you let go of the past,

like you told me
to do with Abigail.

But that was different.
Abigail was a memory.

So is David.

That man's not the same man
he was then.

I know that.

What you and I got
is something that's real,

something
that we've been building.

I asked you to marry me.
You said, "Yes."

Maybe that scares you,

maybe makes you
want to go back to a time

when you were younger,
full of dreams,

and David was a part
of those dreams.

But you're never gonna
get back what you lost.

You may lose what you got now.

What do you mean?

I got no reason to stay here.

I'd be moving on
if it wasn't for you.

Hey, darling,
I brought you some cookies.

Oh, my goodness.
That's so sweet!

- Where'd you get 'em?
- I made 'em.

Grace was showing me how.
You like 'em?

Mmm, that's good!

But you -- you know
what I like even better?

What's that?
I'll learn to make it.

Just having you here with me.

I like being married.

- Mm.
- Mm.

What -- What you doin'?

Horace, what's wrong?
What...

Come on.

What -- What?

Horace, it's the middle
of the day.

It don't matter.

What if a customer comes?

They can wait.

Someone might hear us.

I was told,
"When the mood comes, act."

Myra, if --
if you don't want to...

No, it ain't that.

What's wrong?

It ain't one of them times,
is it?

No.

It's just, uh, I ain't never
done it like this before.

Oh, we can wait
till the nighttime, then.

What I mean is,
it's always been business.

I ain't never done it
with someone I love,

someone I let get close to me.

It's kind of scary.

I understand.

It's kind of the first time
for both of us.

It's all right.

We'll learn together.

What happened?

My eyes!

- A canning jar exploded.
- Grace!

Let's get her to the clinic.

Colleen, get the chloroform.

I can't see!

You're gonna be all right.

I'm gonna give you chloroform

so we can take care
of this without hurting you.

Robert E., would you
go across the street?

Find David.

Please tell him to come at once.

I need his help.

Try to breathe normally.
Relax.

I'm not gonna be blind, am I?

Just take a deep breath.

There we go.

Easy, easy.

There.

Bring a light over.

Oh, dear.

What is it?

Michaela, what's happened?

Thank you for coming.

Robert E., will you go outside
and take Brian with you?

I'll, uh -- I'll come out as
soon as we've taken care of her.

Well,
how long that's gonna be?

Not long.

There's a piece of glass
embedded deep in her cornea.

Hmm.

I don't think
I can pull it out.

You'll damage the tissues.

You have to make an incision.

I've never worked on eyes.

Well, you don't want
to dig or probe,

or you could sever a nerve.

Would you do it?

Michaela, I haven't touched
a scalpel in seven years.

But you've worked with eyes.
I wouldn't know how deep to cut.

I -- I would just be guessing.

I'm sorry.

David, please.
I know you can do it.

I'm afraid that I might cause
her permanent damage.

You're the best chance
she's got.

Do you have a cataract knife?

Good.

- Scarpa's needle?
- No.

Can you clamp the lid open?

Mm.

It's deep.

It's pierced nearly all the way
to the vitreous humor.

I'm gonna make a cut above it
and then squeeze.

When you see it begin to rise,

use the forceps,
smallest you have.

There, here it comes.

Got it.

Let's just check,
see if there's any more.

- Oh, I think that's it.
- Good.

Give it a dab of silver nitrate,
and we'll cover the eye.

Thank you.

How is she?

Very well.

We were able
to remove all the glass.

She'll need to keep her eye
covered until it heals.

But I don't expect
any permanent damage.

Thank the Lord.

Thank you.
I'm real grateful you was here.

Glad I could help.

I owe you an apology, Sully.

You were right.

I should've identified myself.

You were packing up
to leave town.

I was the one
who called you back.

You didn't know.

I've been asking myself what
I would've done in your place.

If I had been blinded
and crippled,

I might've done the same.

I tried to forget her.

I walked.

I walked through the mountains,
across the plains.

Thought I was putting miles
between us.

I only learned by chance
she was here.

When I passed through Pueblo,

heard about a lady doctor
named Quinn.

And I had to come and see.

It's hard to plan
what the heart's gonna do.

After my wife died...

I thought
I'd never love anybody again.

I'd be on my own
the rest of my days.

Was all right with me.

I thought the same thing
myself.

I never counted
on meeting Michaela.

Sully.

There's something
I got to say to you.

Please,
I know this is terribly hard.

- And I wish...
- Michaela, I love you.

And I would do anything for you.

I'd give my life for you.
You know that.

I want to marry you.

More than that,
I want you to be happy.

So you got to choose the person
who's gonna make you happy,

the person
who'd be best for you.

Whatever you do,
I'll be behind you.

Sully.

I just wanted you to know that.

I don't know
what happened to my mood.

Don't worry about it.

I feel like I'm
letting you down.

You're not letting me down.

'Course not.

Lots of marriages
are friendship marriages.

That's the most important thing
anyway, friendship.

So let's just snuggle.

We don't got to do nothin' else.

But are -- are you happy, Myra?

'Course I am.

Why?

'Cause I get to sleep
next to you every night.

I get to wake up
next to you every morning.

For the rest of my life,
I got a home with you.

That's right, you do.

Horace, I said
we don't have to.

Myra.

I love you, Myra.

Oh, Horace.

I love you, too.

This way.

It's not much further.

- Oh!
- Oh.

Are you all right?

Yes, I just lost my footing.

- Can you keep going?
- Yes, of course.

We're almost there.

Y'all go ahead
and pull that one out.

What are they doing?

The mining company's getting
ready to dam up the stream.

- That one north of here?
- Mm-hmm.

First they'll cut down
all the trees,

then they'll flood
the whole valley.

They'll wipe out
the forest life as --

as far as that distant mountain.

Well, how can they do that?

The have a permit,
and no one protests.

I've just sent a wire
to the editor

of the Washington Chronicle to
see if I can publish a report.

Have you spoken
to the mine owners?

They won't listen.

They think the land
and everything on it is there

for man's use.

If it'll serve him,
let him kill it, strip it,

drain it, chop it down.

But the forest
can never be replaced.

Some of these trees
are hundreds of years old.

God saved them from fires,
avalanches, floods.

But he can't save them
from fools.

You could, David.

I'd be up
against powerful adversaries.

Not just the mining companies --
banks, railroads, timber barons.

You could help me, Michaela.

Enough people
raise their voices,

they can make something happen.

We saw it, didn't we,
with abolition.

Yes.

Remember the speeches
we wrote together?

How can I forget?

The first one,
we stayed up all night.

But what a speech we wrote.

When we finished,
we walked along the Charles

and watched the sunrise.

Flower sellers were just
setting out their carts.

You bought me lilacs.

Michaela, I love you.

And you love me.

Come on, Brian.

- You can do this.
- Come on, Brian.

That's it!

- Don't let go.
- I got ya.

You're all right, buddy.
Just keep on pedaling.

That's it!

Don't let me go.

- I'm not holding on anymore.
- Sully, help!

No, you're riding on your own.

- I can do it.
- You got it, Brian.

Mom, look!

I knew you could.

It's so much fun.

You tricked me.

Yeah, but it worked, didn't it?

Now all you got to do
is keep practicing.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Ain't you staying for supper?

Not tonight.

- Good night.
- Thanks, Sully.

How many places should I set?

Just four.

Andrew's not coming?

I mean, David.

Not tonight.

Good.

I know that you're all fond
of Sully.

And I know that you
don't really know David.

But he's a good man, and I --

I'd like you
to give him a chance.

Think you could do that?

Sully told us to be fair,
to try and get along with him.

- Really?
- Yeah.

He said you got to think
about your whole life,

not just the next few years.

When did he say that?

Just now, while you were away.

He said we're gonna
grow up and move away.

So you got to do
what's best for you.

Sully told you that?

I just received a reply
from the Chronicle.

They want to run the article.

Oh, that's wonderful.

But I must leave
for Washington.

I want to come back here
and be with you.

So you must tell me,
do you want me back?

I know you care for Sully.

But marriage
is a lifetime partnership.

You and I are meant
to be together.

We can simply carry on
where we left off.

But it's not simple.

So much has happened
in the interim.

I was younger then,
without attachments.

I have children now
and responsibilities.

They'll be
our responsibilities.

Sully?

Do you love him?

Yes.

More than you love me?

You really want me to say?

I'll be leaving
tomorrow morning at dawn.

God bless you, David.

Hello, Sully.

What brings you out here?

I want to tell you how much
I appreciate what you did.

What's that?

Left me free to decide.

So you must've decided.

How do you know that?

I know.

You love David.

Yes, I'll always love him.

But that's the past,
and you're the present.

We're the present...

if you'll have me.

Will you, Sully?

Will I what?

Will you marry me?

Yes.
