Denver news! Get your Denver news!

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?

Stagecoach for Colorado Springs,

Soda Springs, and all points south

will be departin' in five minutes.

Yep. You know, it's gonna be a few hours

till we hit that first rest stop.

I'll be right back.

I need one ticket to Colorado Springs.

Thanks.

Honey, everything's gonna be fine.

Excuse me. I'm lookin' for Marshal Wickett.

He's not here.

He got drunk last night, and he's sleeping off a hangover.

What am I gonna do with this prisoner?

That's your problem.

No, it's not, son. It's yours.

Hey, you can't do that.

Oh, yes, I can.

I've been paid already.

Marshal Wickett can cut him loose when he sobers up.

Now, just a minute. Who do you think you are?

- The name is Cole. - Well, look, Mr. Cole.

If you think I'm go--

That wouldn't be Kid Cole, would it?

That's all right.

Kid Cole.

Hey, Sully. How you doin'?

- All right. - What are you doin' here?

Oh, we came to pick up some medical supplies

and some things for the new house.

What are you doin' here?

Deliverin' a prisoner.

Then Sister Ruth and I are goin' on to San Francisco.

Look who I found.

Hello, Sully.

- Hello, Sister Ruth. - Dr. Mike.

Well, you certainly are looking well.

Married life agrees with you.

Sister Ruth is taking good care of me.

With the good Lord's help.

Yeah, but you're doing the cookin'.

Speaking of cookin',

Dr. Mike's invited us to Thanksgiving supper.

That's mighty kind of you.

And we'd love for you to come to Colorado Springs

and be with our family.

Well, then, you can just set two more plates at your table

'cause we'd love to be there.

We better make sure there's room left on the stage.

I think I can work something out with the ticket agent.

Excuse me.

I'll make you a deal.

Well, you can count me out.

Don't you want to surprise Sully and Mom?

I think it'd be real nice

to have Thanksgiving supper all ready for them

when they come back.

It's just that I'll end up doin' all the work.

No, you won't.

I'll get Ingrid to help you.

All right.

We can all do something to help.

We'll make up a list and divvy up the chores, huh?

So, you gonna be joinin' us tomorrow?

No. We're gonna be havin' supper at home.

Oh. That's nice.

Who's cookin'?

- We all are. - We all are.

Well, have you got your turkey yet?

We can just get one from Mr. Bray.

I think you'd better be quick

'cause I think the ones he's got are going fast.

Well, I'll go on over as soon as I finish my pie.

Don't worry.

Everything's gonna be fine.

That's it. You got it.

Don't worry, darlin'.

You'll be fine.

This lady's a doctor.

- Really? - I'm Dr. Quinn.

I have a practice in Colorado Springs.

Brandon McGee.

- This is my wife, Carey. - Hello.

Nice to meet you.

You're Kid Cole, aren't you?

I heard of you.

You're a gunfighter.

Retired gunfighter.

With Mr. Cole on board,

I know you're gonna be well taken care of.

We should go ahead with our plans.

Riding high like you are, I'd say you're carrying a boy.

When is your baby due?

- January. - April.

It's January.

Yeah, this is our first child.

We're both feeling a little muddled.

Next up, Soda Springs.

Why don't you sit by the window?

Let us help you, ma'am.

Well, you should stop by and take a look for me.

Ha! Hyah. Ha!

Want another card?

Well, I'm staying with these.

What about Caleb?

Caleb McGee.

I'll take three.

Full house.

Too bad we weren't playin' for money.

Sure is.

Four of a kind.

Think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

Here's one I was always partial to -- It's Isaiah.

Oh, I had an uncle named Isaiah.

He never took a bath in his whole entire life.

Oh.

What about Gideon?

What about Ezra?

Ezra?

Take it you don't care for that name.

Well, I'd never name a child of mine Ezra.

It happens to be an old favorite family name

of the Quinns.

Maybe you ought to find a new one.

You could name it after the father.

One Brandon McGee is enough in any family.

What's your first name, Mr. Sully?

It's, uh, something you wouldn't want to use,

sort of like Ezra.

Ow. Ooh.

Are you all right?

- Did he kick you? - Kick.

Yes.

Uh, he's moving around.

Perhaps I better take a look at you at the weigh station.

No. I'm fine.

Um, maybe I'll just close my eyes for a little while.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

I am not baking. I always bake.

I want to make the yams this year.

Then I'll bake the pies.

Brian, you've made one pie your whole life.

So? It won first prize.

I don't want to take any risks, all right?

We'll just buy one from Grace.

We can't do that. It's Thanksgiving.

It has to be homemade.

I'll teach you, but I'm not touching a rolling pin.

Here are your lists.

Spread out and grab what we need.

All right. Come on.

Mr. Bray, I need a turkey.

You and everybody else in this place.

What's the matter with people?

- Why can't they plan ahead? - Mr. Bray.

- That's 15 cents. - Please.

- You got to have something. - All right.

You're in luck.

I got one left.

That's it?

You just got to use a little more stuffing in it.

Are you sure it's a turkey?

- How much? - $2.

Sold.

Hey! That's my turkey!

He who hesitates goes hungry.

Now what do I do?

I got a special on shotgun shells.

Do we need any sardines?

No.

- Oh, Mr. Bray. - Yeah?

- Do you have any cranberries? - No, all out.

I got some, uh, comin' in tomorrow, though.

Will you save us a can?

- If you pay in advance. - Well, how come?

If you don't show up, I'm stuck with a can of cranberries.

Can't sell 'em except at this time of year.

Nobody will want to buy them next year

'cause the can will be a year old.

Maybe you better grab that can of peas, Brian.

Hey!

Do you feel sick?

I'm a little dizzy.

Will he stop?

It's not a good idea.

It would be safer if you can hold out

- till the weigh station. - How far are we?

Maybe 8 miles.

We'd better stop.

No.

No, not here. I can make it.

Can you make him go any faster?

I'll ask.

Hyah! Giddap!

Hyah!

Call again.

Again.

Brian, be still.

I've been sitting here so long, my leg's falling asleep.

Ow. Aah.

Oh. Ah.

Shoot!

Aah. Oh.

There goes Thanksgiving dinner.

I'm sorry. I couldn't help it.

My leg was killing me.

Probably the only turkey within 20 miles of here.

We can start looking again in the morning.

We got to find a turkey.

Ma will be expecting one.

Hyah! Hyah!

There's a dry creek up ahead.

Well, that's Rock Creek.

The weigh station is only a few more miles.

Oh! Oh, I feel like I'm gonna be sick.

Now, you hold on, child.

Sully, you have to stop the coach.

We have to stop.

Ho! Ho!

Hang on.

Ho!

Aah!

You all right?

Get 'em out and get behind those rocks.

Oh!

Get down.

Carey.

I'm all right.

I'll keep 'em busy while you circle around.

That ain't necessary.

Now you throw your gun down, Kid Cole.

What are you doin'?

I'm robbin' the stagecoach, ma'am.

McGee, you come on down.

Come on.

Okay, now.

I'm gonna need your jewelry and your purses.

I'll take that cameo.

My mother gave me this.

She's got good taste.

Now you take it off.

Go on. Give it to her.

I told you it would be easy.

I'm gonna be praying for some way to forgive you.

Don't bother.

These two are way past saving.

Sure hope you people will do the decent thing and bury 'em.

At least leave us some water.

Why not?

Y'all have a good Thanksgiving now.

Hyah! Come on! Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah.

Hyah.

How far you figure we've gone?

Probably 2 miles.

Nah, it's more like 50.

Want some?

I should have known something was wrong.

Just think of all that time

we wasted helping her pick out a name.

She sure had me fooled.

She had us all fooled.

I bet that's the couple been robbing the stages

between here and Wichita.

I was gonna give that cameo to Colleen.

Such a shame.

You did the right thing, giving it up.

It's better than gettin' shot.

- We got to keep movin'. - What's the hurry?

I saw tracks of a raiding party

just across the road up ahead here.

If they spot us, we're dead. We got to keep off this road

until we get to the weigh station.

- Will we get there by dark? - We'd better.

Let's go.

Where's the turkey?

Probably in the next territory by now.

We had one.

Brian scared him off.

My leg fell asleep.

It's not my fault.

I had a shot, Brian.

If you could have just kept quiet.

What are we gonna do?

Maybe we can borrow some food.

You don't borrow food.

You do if you don't have any.

The freight wagon is gonna come tomorrow.

We'll get some food. We'll be all right.

You keep saying that, but we don't have a turkey.

We don't have pie fixings,

- and we don't have -- - All right. All right.

We'll ask around.

Maybe someone's got some extra food.

Brian, I don't have any extra turkey,

but I got plenty of spinach if you need some.

Spinach?

Thanks, Miss Grace.

Uh, I got spiced peaches

and plenty of yams you're welcome to.

Thanks, Myra.

- I'll pick 'em up tomorrow. - All right.

I'll take Jan huntin' with me tomorrow.

We'll come home with a turkey.

Do not worry.

My cousin from Ohio brought food.

We'll have plenty of ludefisk, a whole barrel.

Ludefisk. What's that?

It's dried herring.

It is very good.

How do you think it would be with gravy on it?

Ew.

Don't worry, darling.

We'll be having Thanksgiving supper this time tomorrow.

You're right.

The Lord will provide.

How do you know?

'Cause I asked him.

I know he's gonna help us.

Well, when you talk to him again,

would you ask him if he can provide some pumpkin pie?

We best get going.

We could make it to the weigh station by nightfall.

So, how we doin'?

Well, we won't have to worry about yams.

There's plenty this year.

- What else we got? - Let's see.

We got corn, spiced peaches, and beans.

We still don't have a turkey.

We got a ham.

We do?

Well, Jake's got a tin one we can buy.

I'd rather eat ludefisk.

Hey, Horace. The stagecoach is late.

Uh, it's more than late. She's not coming.

The freight wagon's not comin' neither.

- Not comin'? - What?

There's Loren. I'll go tell him.

Well, why isn't the stage coming?

There's some bad weather coming up near Denver.

They're canceling all the stage runs south.

Are Ma and Sully gonna be all right?

They probably saw the storm comin'

and turned back to Denver.

They'll put 'em up in a hotel till the weather passes.

Don't worry, Brian. They'll be here tomorrow.

Besides, it will give us some more time

to get supper together.

Maybe not. Look.

Everyone's going to the store.

- What's goin' on? - Oh, hey, Myra.

Can I get those spiced peaches from you?

I'm sorry, Colleen, but...

well, I got me a craving in the middle of the day,

and I ate them all.

I still got some yams you can have.

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna need that spinach now.

I was countin' on that freight delivery,

but since that wagon ain't coming, I need it.

Well...maybe we could just eat here.

Oh, Brian. I'm sorry. I don't have any places left.

I am sold out, and then some.

Look...

you come on by anyway.

I won't have any turkey left, but I'll have plenty of yams.

How do I know it's any good?

Trust me. I knew this pig personally.

Whatever you say.

What are you doin'?

I'd rather eat ludefisk.

Look. There it is.

It's really quiet down there.

I wonder where the stationmaster is.

Maybe he's inside.

Where are the horses at?

The corral's been broken open.

Wait here.

Anybody here?

It's clear!

Come on down!

Aah!

Michaela, you hit?

No.

Go inside. Hurry.

Come on. Get in.

Go.

I've been hit.

Okay, let me see.

How bad is it?

The bullet went through.

What are they doing?

I think they're figuring out we don't have a gun yet.

It's gonna be like shootin' fish in a barrel.

Give me your tomahawk.

Stay down. This may blow up in my face.

Aah!

Sully.

Yeah. The odds just evened up a little bit.

You think they'll be back tonight?

If they were going to attack, they would have done it already.

They probably sent for help.

Perhaps we should try and slip away in the night.

They got the high ground on us.

With that full moon, we make a good target.

If it clouds over, maybe we can make a run for it.

I ain't running nowhere.

Well, maybe they've gone away.

I don't think so, Sister Ruth.

Go on over here with Dr. Mike.

Watch.

Did you see them?

There's at least one rifle out there to the left of that ridge.

Looks like the best thing we can do is wait until morning.

Well, what'll happen then?

Well, we hope the next stagecoach

arrives before more Indians do.

Did you find anything to eat?

Eat?

Well, there's some biscuit fixings and some beans.

Well, maybe we should see what we can cook up then.

What are you thinkin'?

I'm thinkin' it's been a long time

since I had to shoot anybody.

How many bullets you got left?

Eight.

There's two of 'em out there on that ridge with rifles.

Wonder how many bullets they got left.

There's one for Peter and one for Paul

and one for the good Lord that made us all.

A little bit of soda, a little bit of salt.

If these biscuits don't turn out, it ain't my fault.

I could never do that.

I have to measure everything.

Ah, when you've been cooking as long as I have,

you go by faith and feel.

Every time I've tried that, it didn't turn out.

Now, don't you worry about it.

It's gonna be fine.

You'll see.

This is all my fault.

Well, how is that?

If I hadn't invited you to come with us,

you'd be safely on your way to San Francisco by now.

The way I figure it, the Lord meant for us to be together.

And I can't think of anybody

that I'd rather be celebrating Thanksgiving with

than you and Sully.

Besides, you can help us celebrate our anniversary.

I can't believe it's a year since you've been married.

Me neither.

Sister Ruth, how do you like being married?

Eh.

Sometimes, he can be a pain in the...

Well, you know what I mean.

Yes, I know what you mean.

It's just that every time I wake up

and I look in that man's face,

I thank the good Lord for sending him my way.

Yes, we have a lot to be thankful for.

Amen.

We got baked yams, some mashed yams, and yam surprise.

We got plenty of beans and rice.

Beans and rice are not what you eat at Thanksgiving.

You eat turkey and dressing and cranberries and pumpkin pie.

Well, maybe we can make popcorn.

- That's stupid. - It's not stupid.

They ate it at the first Thanksgiving.

I wonder how it tastes with gravy.

Jan and I are going out at first light.

We'll come back with a turkey.

And what if you don't?

Then we'll eat other things.

It won't be the same.

I would have had a turkey if Brian hadn't messed it up.

Well, if you had gone to the store

when you should instead of eating another piece of pie...

We shouldn't even have Thanksgiving supper

- in the first place. - Stop it. Stop it!

Fighting's not gonna put anything on the table.

All I know is, you better figure out what we're gonna do

by morning.

This is not my fault.

Can't you sleep?

No.

You need to try to get some rest.

Why don't you sing me a song like you always do?

Dr. Mike's asleep.

No, I'm not.

I'd like to hear a song, too.

Cloud Dancing!

Cloud Dancing. Are you all right?

- Yes. - I'm sorry.

Me too.

I've been tracking that bird all morning.

I didn't see that.

I could have... I could have...

I'm sorry.

And I am thankful you're a bad shot.

Why aren't they attacking?

They must be waiting for the stage to show up,

gonna ambush them, and then come in here after us.

Well, we have to warn the stage.

I'll light a signal fire after you're gone.

What are you talking about?

You know I couldn't run very far.

I'd just slow us all down, get us all caught.

You take off, you got a chance.

I can hold 'em here for a while.

We're not gonna leave you alone.

You won't be.

I'm staying.

We talked about this.

It's what we want to do.

- We won't allow it. - No.

Dr. Mike, you know it's the only chance

any of us got of gettin' out of here alive.

I got three bullets to cover you.

That leaves me five.

That's plenty.

We'll get back here with help as soon as we can.

If you don't make it, no hard feelings.

The Lord be with you.

I sure hope he's listenin' to you.

I reckon they'll be there.

They don't got a bank.

Well, let's just pick up some supplies and head on out.

I'll take this, Mr. Bray. There you go.

Thank you.

I'm closing.

Don't you have any more cornstarch?

All out.

These potatoes are all sproutin'.

Well, they're all we got. Take 'em or leave 'em.

Oh, I'm sorry. We're closing.

Oh, we just need a few things, Mister.

Well, that's about all he's got.

That's it?

- Yeah. - All right.

This is, uh, $2.30.

Ooh. That's a pretty cameo.

Thanks.

Matthew, this lady has a pin just like Dr. Mike's.

Oh, it's just like the one that our grandma gave her.

Yeah.

It sure looks like it.

Where'd you get that?

I...

Grab the money.

Excuse me.

Are Mike and Sully all right?

They probably walked to the next weigh station.

Y'all get down on the floor.

Get down.

Anybody comes out this door is gonna get shot.

Hyah!

I've been robbed!

- What? - Get a posse.

We're goin' after them.

- I've been robbed. - He's been robbed.

Come on now! Let's go, boys!

Get your rifles! Let's go!

No.

No. Please don't hurt me.

Please.

Ah. Oh.

Don't hurt me! No!

Sully.

Get behind the tree.

Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah!

You all right?

Sure am glad to see you.

I was just thinkin' the same thing.

Ah, I knew you'd be all right. Come on.

We'd best get on to after them robbers.

We lost their trail a long time ago, Loren.

We're not gonna find them.

What about those Injuns?

Tie 'em up.

Take 'em to Fort Collins

to stand trial for the murder of that station agent.

All right.

- Let's go back to town. - All right.

There's still somethin' we got to do.

Cole!

Anybody there?

- Who wants to know? - Are you all right?

Oh!

Yeah, I winged a couple of them

before they decided to give up and come after you.

I'm so glad to see you.

I was just thinking the same thing.

Turkey.

Turkey?

Pumpkin pie.

- Sure smells good. - Ma.

Sully. Where you been?

Hey, what are you doing here?

Hello, Brian.

I asked them to join us for Thanksgiving supper.

Well, I asked Cloud Dancing, too.

He helped me get a big turkey.

I hope all of you are hungry.

- Oh. - You bet.

I sure am.

Dr. Quinn...

Sully...

I hope you don't mind

if sayin' grace takes a little longer today.

We got a lot to be thankful for this year.

Amen!

I was just thinkin' the same thing.
