Where's our horse, mister?

Well, your horse was a lot worse off than we thought.

He gave it up last night. Fort Stockton's only 12 miles away.

We'll make it. Ma.

Well, you'll see her soon.

Then-then where's my mommy?

It'll be soon, honey.

Captain.

Captain.

What happened with these children?

Good Lord, you'll... You'll have to excuse me, Miss Parker.

I've had a long trip. I didn't recognize you.

It was Mox Mox.

Mox Mox?

Did you kill him?

I hit him. There is a chance he'll die.

Let's get these children up to my room we'll get 'em in a warm bath.

What about my husband, Captain? He's fine, Miss Parker.

He's waitin' for me in Mexico.

Captain?

Are you all right, mister?

Build a fire, Jimmy. It's chill.

No more fires for you, Mox.

Why? Why not? What's wrong with you?

Not near as much as is wrong with you.

I ain't shot in the lung, and I ain't dyin'.

And you're both buildin' you a fire would be a waste of time.

And I ain't got the time to waste on a man that's dyin'.

I ain't dyin'!

I'm just shot up a little.

I'll live if I could get warm.

Hellfire will warm you, Mox.

You'll be plenty warm there.

You're strippin' me clean, you Cherokee scum.

I should've killed you a long time ago. Should've shot you in your sleep.

I could be sound asleep and drunk,

and I'd still be too quick for you, Mox.

That's why I'm called quick Jimmy, remember?

Damn snake!

Get away from that horse and make me a fire.

I ain't the snake.

You're the one they call the snake you do not see.

Only old Call seen ya.

He didn't get much of a shot though, did he?

But he still killed ya. I ain't... I ain't dead.

I-I'm just shot, damn you.

Why are you off in such a hurry?

Leave me... Leave me some matches.

No, I am in a hurry. Old Call might be comin'.

No, he ain't comin'. He's got them brats.

Well, I don't believe I'll take that chance.

If he does come, he'll find you frozen.

You know, I never thought an old man like that could beat ya, Mox,

but I guess I was wrong.

You done for, Mox.

Oughta cut your own damn throat and be done with it.

I didn't mean to pass out like that this morning.

I'm worried about my horse. I don't usually go off without stablin' him.

The sheriff stabled him for you...

and was glad to do it.

You saved those two children from a hard death, Captain.

There are plenty of folks that can stable a horse.

My five-year-old can do it perfectly well.

I usually take care of my own mounts.

Any news from Jasper Fant?

They're arrivin' today.

I believe they're gonna go right on back with the children.

They've got cattle to work.

I was a prisoner of Mox Mox, Captain, when Blue Duck had me.

I know what you saved those children from.

The Fants have every reason to be grateful.

They're very lucky, and they know it.

Now I didn't know that Mox Mox was with Blue Duck.

I don't recall Pea Eye mentionin' that.

He never mentioned it 'cause he didn't know.

I never even told Gus.

I told Mr. Goodnight when he gave me the news that Mox Mox was alive.

When can we go to my husband?

We're gonna have to go horseback.

Not much road between here and Mex and it'll be cold.

I hope you don't doubt I can ride, Captain.

I've rode all the way to Nebraska with that coward you and Gus drove.

I can ride, and I can keep up.

The cold don't discourage me. I wanna find my husband.

It ain't the ridin' in the cold. What is it then? I can leave now.

I'm packed. Captain, did you get the news?

What news? Joey Garza killed Judge Roy Bean.

He gut-shot him and then strung him up to his own barn.

Hung him. A sheep herder found him.

Came by to get drunk, and there the man hung.

The boy must've been watchin' when we left.

Damn it all. Were there any other bodies?

No, just the judge.

Sheep herders are all scared now.

They're bringin' their sheep closer into the towns.

Don't know what good that'll do 'em.

They could drive those sheep middle of this street, he could still sit back and pick 'em off.

Do you think Pea's okay, Captain?

Well, they didn't leave before I did.

I don't think the Garza boy followed Pea Eye.

I think he followed me.

I felt it all the way here, but I never could catch him at it.

He's damn clever to ambush Bean like that.

Bean's a tough old rooster, but he's called his last call.

I'm much obliged to you, Sheriff, for stablin' my horse.

It's my pleasure, Captain. Captain.

I appreciate it.

Let me go, Captain.

I'll ride night and day if I have to.

Well, that was not my objection, ma'am.

Well, what is your objection, if you have one?

I'm just not sure I can protect you. That's it.

I... I let Joey Garza slip right by and kill Roy Bean.

Then I let Mox Mox get away.

That's two poor performances in a row.

I'm just not sure I can protect you.

Did you hear me? I heard you, Captain,

but I need to find my husband.

He's the one that needs protectin'.

Yeah, you'll go alone if I don't take ya.

Let's go get you a horse.

Oh, yeah.

I am going to go and kill an old gringo.

But I will come back for you and Rafael.

I will take you both far down the river to a place.

And then I will throw you both off the cliff.

A great bear will come around, and he will eat you...

while you are still alive.

Mama!

Mama!

Mama!

Mama! Mama!

Your brother likes teasing you.

He's not gonna feed you to a bear.

Shh.

Shh.

Ain't that colonel of yours gonna be upset when you tell him...

you used his account book to start fires in Mexico?

Stop worrying about Colonel Terry.

It makes more sense just to worry about keeping warm.

Olin Roy is coming.

He was making the camp, but I told him we already had a camp.

Olin Roy, I used to know him. Where's he been these years?

I don't know.

He weighs too much for his horse.

I'll take him. Thank you.

Olin.

Hello. Hi.

Weather's cold, ain't it?

Could be colder. I've seen colder.

You been anyplace special?

Well, Pedros Negras.

Heard that's a rough town. No, it ain't.

'Course, any town Wesley Hardin unsaddles his horse is rough.

He come in whoring.

What's the news from down river? Any news from Laredo?

Yeah, they put that damn Sheriff Jekyll in his own jail. I hope they hang that rascal.

Bob jekyll's in our jail? I'd say that's news.

Yeah, I guess...

some little gal came in, askin' about her husband.

He forced her.

A woman askin' about her husband? Recall her name?

No,

I reckon I never heard her name.

Poor thing took rat poison and died.

They're tryin' the sheriff for the murder. I doubt he'll hang.

Oh, Lord.

She died.

My wife.

It was her.

My wife. My wife.

If it was her... If it was her...

It was my wife.

Ted oughtn't run his horse, not in rough country like this.

Bluffs down there right by the river. Horse go right off those.

Well, you know, that's two of us now.

First Katie and now the deputy's wife.

How far is it back?

Back where?

Back to where it's not like this.

People getting killed every day.

No houses, no streetcars.

Back to civilization.

It's cold, ain't it?

You was just a mean bandit, you old squint.

You should've been a cook, you liked fire so much.

Old Call was lucky.

Oh, my god. Plunkert.

Was it Garza?

No, it was some vaqueros.

They were very poor. Their horses had no shoes.

They probably wanted his guns, horse, saddle...

and his clothes.

All of his clothes?

Let's get him buried then.

Mrs. Parker.

You can call me Lorena, Captain,

if it wouldn't disturb ya.

We've known each other long enough, it wouldn't be rude.

Ah, it's just my rough habits, I guess I...

..'spect I never really got quite civilized.

Do you see some horses off to the northwest?

Yeah, I see three.

Looks like they're grazin'. Didn't see 'em last night.

I think I'll ride out and check the brands.

Probably wandered off from some remuda.

We can return 'em on the way south.

I'll pack up and be ready when you get back.

I won't be long.

Hyah. Hyah, hyah.

Hyah!

Careless. Careless.

Captain.

Captain.

Captain, you're weak.

Drink some of this.

You ought to go on.

Pea Eye's below the river.

From the Rio Cacho, you can make it in two days.

Captain, I can't ride off and leave you here to die.

Ah.

If you die, I'll go, but not till then.

It's foolish.

I could linger for a week.

I'd-I'd be obliged if you'd go.

Am I such poor company?

Y-you got family.

I don't.

Stop talkin' and rest. Here. Take a sip of this.

Dillard.

Dillard. Dillard.

Pardon?

Dillard Brolin. He's the barber over in lonesome dove.

Never used a barber in Lonesome Dove. Don't guess I ever met him.

One time, he got a centipede in his pants...

that ruined his leg.

Gus and me, we had to cut his leg off,

or he'd have died of blood poisoning.

Was he the man with the hoarse voice?

He ruined his voice screamin' when we took the leg off.

You're gonna have to do the same.

You're gonna have to take my leg off, or I'll die.

Shoulder can wait, but the leg...

The leg is bad.

You said there was a town no more than two days.

There'll be a doctor there can tend to your leg.

I'd never make it two days.

I'm in the same position Gus was in.

I ain't a lady's man like Gus.

I got no women to lose. If I do it, you might bleed to death.

I ain't done it yet.

If I have to live one-legged, I will. I wanna live long enough to kill that boy.

I'm disappointed in you, Captain.

You better think of a better reason for livin' than killin' a boy.

If killing's the only reason you can think of livin', you just might as well die.

I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it, Captain!

You oughtn't have taken my husband. He's no killer.

You and Gus were the killers!

I loved Gus McCrae, but not like I love my husband.

My children love him and need him, you...

You oughtn't have taken him from us.

The Garza boy's a killer. He's killed a regimen of men. He ought a be stopped.

I don't care.

There's killers and killers and killers out there!

My husband's got nothin' to do with it.

You ought a let him be.

Look at me, Captain.

You remember what I was, huh?

I was a whore. Two dollars is all I cost. A dollar on Sunday.

I don't know how many men bought me.

I 'spect if you brought 'em all here, they'd about...

fill this desert.

I 'spect they'd nearly make an army.

Do you remember that I was a whore, Captain?

But I am not a whore now.

I'm a married woman.

I'm a mother.

I teach school.

I didn't stay what I was. Can you understand that?

I didn't stay what I was!

Clara Allen cared for me,

and she showed me a better way.

I'll cut your leg off.

I'll cut it off now.

If you die, you were killed by a killer like yourself.

But if you live, you wouldn't stay a killer.

I didn't stay a whore.

There's a...

There's a whetstone in my saddlebags.

You're gonna have to take the knife and hit it on a rock.

Hit it hard.

You gotta nick it a little so it'll saw.

Stick the knife in the fire.

You're gonna have to cut bone.

I'll do my best, Captain.

But I'm scared. I don't know how to do this.

If I die,

it'll be the bullet that killed me, not the knife.

Cut... Cut down where the...

..bone's been shattered.

Might make it easier.

You do it.

I guess, Gus and me...

didn't have too much luck when it come to legs.

Old Gus, he wanted me to take him back to Texas.

I had... I had the herd to settle and winter was comin' on.

So I packed him away for the weather.

I thought I'd done it nice, so he'd keep.

I packed the leg along with the rest of him.

I thought I'd done a good job.

That damn doctor left the door open to his shed, and so...

..a varmint got in and...

..and knocked the casket off.

Whatever it was,

it run off with his leg.

I expect it was a wolverine.

Gus would've laughed at that story.

Gus...

Gus laughed at everything.

It's a gift I often wished I had.

Me too.

That somewhat appeals to women. It seemed to have in Gus' case.

It's nice, but it has its limits.

My husband wouldn't know a joke if it

walked up and slapped him in the face.

But I still put him above all the men I know.

Well, he's loyal, Pea.

I fought with him in many an engagement,

and he never shirked.

Never.

Senorita, I've got a sick man.

Can somebody help us?

Billy.

That's Woodrow Call.

Somebody's about finished him.

We take him in.

Who cut his leg off?

I did. It was either that or let him die.

Mama, that's the man who was here before, the man who's a king.

He's not a king now.

Put him by the fire so I can look at his wounds.

That bullet's too close to the heart. I ain't goin' in after that.

You can if you want to, Mary. No.

There's no doctor here?

Got a doctor across the river in Presidio.

Best we got here is a butcher. Gordo cannot do it.

He will kill him. Who shot this man?

Captain Call thinks it was Joey Garza.

Do you know Joey Garza?

He's my son.

I'm Joey's mother,

but I'm not like him.

Rest.

No.

Do not worry. I'll take care of your friend.

If I had meant to kill him, I would never let him into my house.

Teresa, take her to my bed.

No, no. Do not worry.

Go rest.

Thank you.

Nada.

Do you have any children? Oh, I have five.

Do-do you tell them stories?

Yes, I tell them stories.

I will tell you a story about old spider woman.

Then you can tell it to your children when you go home.

That's nice.

I'd love to hear your story.

Old spider woman...

lives beneath a rock...

near the deep part of the river.

And she would...

Oh, my god!

What is it?

Where's it coming from? I can't see where it's coming from!

Where is it? Get down!

Get down! Get that gun!

You reckon you see him?

You reckon it's the Garza boy? I have no idea who it might be.

It might be those vaqueros that killed ted plunkert.

Nah, if it was plain old bandits,

..they'd just rode in and slaughtered, 'cause they wouldn't have shot the horses either.

I'll bet it's him. We're done for.

Why didn't he shoot us? He killed all the animals. It don't make sense.

Nothin' makes any sense. This whole trip hasn't made any sense.

The captain ought've caught this boy by now. He's taking too much time.

Where is he? He must've run into trouble.

What that means is the captain won't be coming because he's dead.

Which means we're gonna be dead, too,

just as soon as this boy feels like finishing us off.

The captain won't be coming. No, he's always come before.

We just hold up for a couple of days.

We'll sneak back into camp tonight and get some grub.

That boy hit what he was aimin' at.

Why wasn't he aimin' at us?

Nothing that happens out here makes any sense.

It's all just killing.

The Captain's always come before.

I reckon he'll come this time.

I just hope we're not dead when he gets here.

Where'd the indian go?

He's hidin' I expect.

Think he'll turn up?

He wouldn't just run off and leave us.

He wants... He wants my wife to teach him how to read.

Hey! Why don't we hike down the river?

We can't get lost if we're in the river.

Though he might flush us out, as if he wants us to run,

although I don't know why he does.

Damn, the scoundrel took it all.

I'll say he did. He didn't even leave us a pot.

And nothin' to cook in if he had.

Me to cook it. You're the pipe smoker.

Didn't you even keep a match?

No, I haven't fired up yet today.

Well, I've eaten raw horse meat before.

We ought to head downriver.

Famous Shoes'll catch up with us eventually.

Damn it, damn it, damn it. He marked us.

We best head for the riverbed fast.

No.

No. Let him come and kill us.

He's going to anyway.

He knows right where we are. He's got our food, our ammunition.

He's just playin' with us now.

He can kill us anytime he wants to, and he knows it.

I have spent nothing but cold nights since I got to Texas.

And I'm damned if I'm gonna spend another cold night

squatting on my heels just to get shot in the morning.

He could just shoot me now and spare me the shivering.

No, Mr. Brookshire, don't give up. Don't give up.

We might beat him yet. Captain could come back and scare him off.

What if he's already killed the captain, hunh?

I expect he has, myself.

Captain's already four days late! You said yourself he's never late!

No, no, no. We go back to the creek bed.

Just give it one more night. We go back, he might let us go.

Back where? Back where? There's nothing back that way.

I'd rather be shot than starve to death.

I'd even rather be shot than shiver.

I am tired of shivering,

and I'll tell Joey Garza that, too, if I see him.

I'll tell Colonel Terry something, too,

if I make it back to the office alive.

Joey Garza can rob all the trains he wants to,

but ned Brookshire is resigning.

I'll be damned if I'm gonna wander around Mexico any longer. It's crazy.

No, Mr. Brookshire. Don't give up. Just give it one more night.

There's two of us. We stand a better chance stickin' together.

Well, I appreciate the thought,

but I have waited, and I've waited, and now I'm going.

Killer or no killer.

I expect I can get down the river as well as the next man.

If I don't get through, all I ask is that you send my love to my sister.

I don't know your sister, Mr. Brookshire.

I wouldn't know how to get word to her.

Her name is Matilda Morris.

She lives in Avon, Connecticut.

Just tell her that

I regret that I didn't have time to write before I left, but...

..Colonel Terry wanted me on that next train.

That was that.

Good-bye, Mr. Parker.

No. Mr. Brookshire, you...

Well, at least I've seen your face.

Haven't you got any more lanterns? No.

Well, if he doesn't bleed anymore out of that leg,

I reckon it's gonna heal.

But that bullet in his chest, I can't get in that close to his heart.

So that bullet's gonna have to stay right where it is.

Will he live, doctor?

He's lived this long. I reckon he'll go on livin'.

And if he does die, at least he killed a man-burner first.

Captain Call killed Mox Mox? Yep.

Old Wesley Hardin seen the corpse himself.

You didn't hear about that?

No,

and I don't think the captain did either. He...

He told me he hit him, but he... he doesn't know the man died.

We don't get much news over here in Mexico.

There could be a war going on. We wouldn't know about it.

Yeah, well, Mox Mox is dead.

Now you keep them bandages fresh, you hear?

And make sure they're clean. ¿Comprende?

Mama, I want to give him some frijoles.

To whom? To your goat?

No, the old capitan, I want to feed him when he wakes up.

He's lost a lot of blood.

Wonder why a man would wanna burn people up like that?

We'll have to tell the captain when he comes to.

He'll wanna know.

Might help him get better.

Let's just hope he wakes up.

Mr. Brookshire dead?

Yes. Joey shot him.

When's he comin' to kill me then?

He says, if you'll give him your boots, he will let you go.

He doesn't think you will follow him without your boots.

Why didn't he shoot you?

I am too old to waste bullets on.

Captain Call is in Orinaga, but Joey shot his leg off.

He thinks the captain will die.

It was your woman who brought the captain to Mexico.

Lorena?

In Orinaga? Are you sure?

Joey saw her.

She has blonde hair. It is your woman.

She cut the captain's leg off, then brought him to Orinaga.

Lori?

Joey wants me to bring him your boots.

Where is he?

He's by the Concho.

If you go toward the village, I think he will kill you.

If you go the other way, he might let you go.

I reckon I'll go where my wife is.

I never should've left my family. I never should've left them.

Not for the captain. Not for nobody.

If I get out of this, I'll make it up to 'em. I'll never leave 'em again.

Can I borrow your knife? Joey took mine.

I wanna cut myself some horse meat so I will have some food.

That big shotgun, the one that Mr. Brookshire used,

Did Joey take it? No.

He thought it was too ugly. He only took the man's watch.

It's still layin' there then?

Here's the knife. This is a bowie knife.

It keeps a good edge. I'll give it to ya.

I just want one favor in return.

What favor?

You take these boots.

Take 'em to Joey. You tell him I'm leavin'.

When you pass the body of Mr. Brookshire, I want you to stop.

Just pause for a second.

Pretend like you're lookin' at a track or somethin'.

I need to know about where that big shotgun is.

I Figure it's my only chance.

I will take the boots to Joey.

Are you sure your woman will teach me about tracks in books?

She'll teach ya.

Then I will stop.

Here. Take your boots.

You hit Joey pretty good. He won't need them.

I thought he was supposed to be a great shot.

Near blew my darn toe off.

I think I'll take this blanket. It's better than mine.

And this knife.

You can have yours back.

Let's go back to the river, hide out.

You don't have to hide. I think you've killed Joey.

Let's go down here and hide, to make sure.

I will go get your woman and be back tomorrow.

I reckon I owe you my life, Mr. Brookshire.

I wish ya was alive so I could thank ya.

Thank you for bringing this shotgun.

I'd better kill another chicken. Too many people to feed.

Mama, please, do not kill my little hen.

Tend to your patient, Teresa.

I'm not going to kill your hen. There's an Indian comin'.

He looks old, but he's not slow.

Why, it's Famous Shoes. He might have some news about your husband.

Your man is alive.

Pea?

He said you are a teacher,

that you will teach me how to read tracks in books when you have time.

- Pea's alive? - Yes.

He has horse meat. He won't go hungry.

Do you think you will have time to teach me about tracks in books?

Take me to my husband. I'll make time.

I'll gladly make time.

If Pea Eye is alive, why ain't he here?

Captain?

Joey shot him and broke his hip.

He's not bleeding much, but... cannot walk fast.

And a-what about my son?

Pea Eye shot Joey with the big shotgun.

Joey is hit in the back, but he rode away.

I don't know where he is. I didn't follow his track.

If I take you to your husband,

Joey might follow and kill both of us.

Aw, hell, I'll take you to him.

You just gotta tell me where he is.

I'd be a lot more comfortable if your husband had killed Joey on the spot.

Maybe he died of his wounds. Nah, Joey ain't dead.

I wouldn't be this jumpy.

Joey's out there somewhere. He's got that rifle.

¿Qué Pasó? Maria! Maria!

Please, Maria, please come quick. The baby is coming.

I'll be there in a minute. Her labor has just begun.

No, No, Maria, she's screaming. You must come now. Please. Please.

OK, OK, good. I'll come now.

Rafael, Teresa, you must come with me.

No, mama. I want to stay here with the old man.

You cannot stay with him. Not now.

But why? because your brother might come,

and I do not know what he may do.

I have to go and bring this baby into the world,

and you and Rafael must come with me so you'll be safe.

But the old man might die while I am gone.

You might die, too, unless you do as I say.

I do not want to be away from Senor Call too long. He is my friend.

Hmm. He was not a very good friend to your grandfather.

Do not talk bad about Senor Call. I like him.

You go on, Tessy. You do what your mother tells ya.

I'll be all right till you get back.

Maria, Maria, wait! I wanna talk to you!

Hey Gordo, I have no time now.

Stay close, where I can hear the bell.

If Joey comes, I will run away from him.

You'll run away from him, if he doesn't catch you first.

Just be close, where I hear the bell.

She's dying, she's dying. Please, help her. Ay, hombre.

Very soon, you're gonna have a beautiful baby.

Look. What do you see?

Pea. Pea, honey.

Pea.

Pea, honey.

Lori?

Lori, you found me.

This... this... Why did you come all this way?

Well, why wouldn't I? We're married, ain't we?

I couldn't be without you, Pea.

Neither could the children.

I'm takin' you home, Pea.

There won't be no more of this fightin'.

Come on.

I'm going.

Captain will have to find somebody else to do it now.

You're not dead yet, old man?

I could kill you... with your own gun.

But that would be doing you a favor.

...

Jorge.

It's a good boy.

I love the way he wiggles.

He's going to give you much troub...

How do I hold him?

Give him... to the old sisters.

Gordo! Did you see Joey?

You are bloodier than me, and I just butchered a pig.

Did you see Joey? No, Joey has not been here.

It was him. He has taken my children.

He has taken my children! Why?

What has happened? Did he come?

I couldn't... I couldn't do anything.

Anything.

Joey!

Stop! Mama!

Stop!

- Mama! - Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it! Joey!

Stop it!

Joey, you are hurt. Listen to me.

Come with me. Come home.

You're hurt. I'll clean your wounds.

I'll hide you until you're safe.

Go wash yourself, you whore! No!

No! Joey, no! Stop!

Te amo.

Gordo.

Maria, Maria!

Where's my mother?

Joey!

Leave him. Leave him for the fishes.

My son.

Let the turtles eat him.

Get Joey! He's my son!

Mama?

Mama.

Here. Yes.

Teresa.

Do not be afraid, my girl.

Joey's dead.

Now, you and Rafael are safe.

He will come and take good care of us.

The old sisters will stay until he comes.

Yes, mama.

Br-ree.

Br-ree.

Br-ree, br-ree, br-ree, br-ree.

Br-ree, br-ree, br-ree, br-ree, br-ree.

He's my good boy again.

Wash him. Make him nice.

No, no, senor. No, no.

Maria, they think he is the devil.

If they touch him, they will go to hell.

Then get out.

I'll wash him myself.

Teresa, bring me water.

No, mama, you're bleeding. I can feel it.

Maria, you're hurt.

Ay, Maria.

He's my son.

I want to put clean clothes on him.

I must do it now.

What's all them people Doin'?

What's happened?

Billy! Billy!

Mary. Mary.

You ain't dyin', are you?

Oh, Billy.

Billy...

Go and get drunk.

Oh, Mary. Mary.

Go on.

Obey me.

Well, didn't I always?

Billy? Yeah?

Yeah.

Don't forget my children.

Talk to them about me.

When you are with them,

give them your memories.

Tell them...

how I danced and laughed...

when I was young and pretty.

Oh, Mary.

You're still young and pretty.

Now go.

Go and get drunk.

Would you take my children?

Yes, I'll take them.

I've got my husband back.

I expect we can take care of all the children that come along.

I've gotta bring my husband inside. He's hurt.

It's cold.

Mama.

Mama.

Mama.

Mama.

Mama.

Mama.

You gotta... You gotta let go.

There ain't too many more places left in this house

to lay sick or dead folks. I'll tell ya that.

She's gone, Mr. Williams.

Oh, Mary.

You filthy gold rovers better get out of here!

We want our picture taken with Joey before you bury him.

After all, we helped kill him.

Get away, you scroungy buzzards.

And that goes for you, too, you no-good piece of...

That Joey Garza's just a boy.

Clarie's bigger than he was.

Mama.

Mama.

There ought to be singin'.

Well, if you start, I guess I can join in.

Do you know, "when they ring the golden bells"?

I can piece it together, I think.

♪♪ There's a land beyond the river ♪

♪ that we call the sweet forever ♪

♪ and we only reach that shore by fate's decree ♪

♪ one by one we'll gain the portal ♪

♪ there to dwell with the immortal ♪

♪ When they ring the golden bells ♪

♪ for you and me ♪

♪ don't you hear the bells a ringing ♪

♪ don't you hear the angels singing... ♪♪

Pea. What, honey?

What if one of our boys goes bad?

What? What if one of our boys goes bad, like Joey?

Oh, they won't.

Why not? well, 'cause they got you for a ma and me for a pa.

We'll keep 'em in line.

Maria was a good woman. Her other children are nice.

But Joey went bad.

He went real bad.

I don't think I could live if I had a child go bad.

I need a walk.

I need a walk.

And then what happened?

She chased that bear right into the river.

The river.

Yeah, big old bear. She scared him.

The river.

Could you spare me some liquor, gentlemen? I'm feelin' kinda chilled.

Here, ma'am. This one ain't been slobbered on too much.

I don't mean to impose. You don't need to choke off your conversation for me.

Oh, we wasn't sayin' much anyway.

We just chattin' about Mary.

What was she like?

I didn't have time to get to know her very well.

She was married four times. Four times. Three got killed.

The other run off.

I didn't care for any of them myself.

Hell, Mary took 'em as husbands, not me.

Then Joey went bad.

Was she ever happy?

Yeah. Yeah. We used to dance a lot.

Did ya love her?

She wouldn't have me, you know?

We got along anyway.

Were any of her husbands...

good to her?

Well...

She had her children.

She was real good to her children.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Famous Shoes.

Where you going?

To the Sierra Madre.

I wanna watch the eagles.

Billy... gave me the great eye.

When you get tired of watchin' 'em, come to our house.

I'll teach you to read.

I will.

Miss Parker.

You're gonna be comin' to live with us, Captain.

You're gonna have to call me Lori now...

or Lorena, if you prefer.

Yes, ma'am.

Senor Call. Over here, Tessy.

My... my goat is... here, here, here, here.

My goat is sick. Let me see.

He's not breathing right.

Ah, well, now, here's the trouble.

I 'spect it's snake bit.

Your little goat, I imagine, stepped in the hole of an old snake pit.

Will he die, senor?

I 'spect he will, Tessy.

He's small.

If he dies, I hope he will see my mother.

She is with the dead.

She will take care of my goat. I expect she will.

My mother raised him by the river.

He will never find her.

Senor Call?

What, Tessy?

I don't understand where the dead live.

I don't understand that too well myself.

I dream about my mother.

I dream that she is with me and my rooster.

When we go away, can we take my rooster?

Yeah, we can take your rooster.

Tickets, please. Next stop...

Thank you, ma'am.

That's just right up ahead.

Tickets, please.

Pea, look. Mama! Ma!

Look out. Oh, look at Benjamin. He's grown!

Look at him. Oh.

Mom!

Too close to the train, boys.

Oh, Lord have mercy. There's Clarie.

Hey, boys!

Three little weeds.

Home, Captain.

Ma!

Clarie! Mr. Goodnight.

Oh, my boys!

Oh.

Mr. Goodnight, we have two more children now.

Good to have you home, Mrs. Parker.

Teresa. Teresa.

And Rafael... This is Ben...

Hello. And Georgie and Clarie and August.

Oh, pa! Pa!

Pa!

Did the children give Clarie any trouble while I was gone? No, she said the baby had...

Hello, Woodrow.

Can I give you a hand?

You got 37 and a half.

Mm-hmm. Good.

Well, it's a might small, but it'll make a good little home for the captain.

Never thought I'd see the captain at ease with anyone.

Tessy kept him alive. He'd have given it up if it hadn't been for her.

Ma, I wish he wasn't so sad.

It makes me sad to look at him.

Well, I guess this old axe will cut for a while.

Tessy,

you think you could reach over here in my pocket

to one I don't reach too good, and...

..see if you can find my little knife.

There you go.

Nah, you take it. It's for you...

for bein' my helper.

I didn't do much.

Ah, you helped plenty.

That's been my knife for over 30 years.

I want you to have it.

Thank you, Senor.

What will I do with it?

Well,

you might need to cut a string.

Bye, Mr. Goodnight. See ya. Thanks for the vittles.

Wasn't the captain a great Texas ranger once, Mr. Goodnight?

I've always heard he was the greatest ranger of all.

Yes. He had exceptional determination.

Well, but now look. What's he Doin'?

Sharpenin' spades on a darn farm.

Woodrow Call had his time. It was a long time too.

Life's but a knife edge anyway.

Sooner or later, a man slips and gets cut.

You ain't slipped, sir.

How would you know, son?

You're gonna wake the baby. Shh.

Shut the door.

Oh, it's like a buffalo stampede.

Uh, Miss Parker, I got a question.

I've heard tell there's schools for the blind.

I wondered if you know anything about them.

Well, there's a fine one in st. Louis.

Well, I got a little money saved,

and if Tessy could get her education, then I'd like to help.

I believe she's bright.

Yeah, she's bright.

She needs her education.

'Course, if-if she went away, I... we'll all miss her.

Yes, we'd miss her.

Well, I expect it's the right thing.

Yeah.

It's the right thing.

You're a schoolteacher. I was hopin' you could advise me.

D-do you think we should send her now, or maybe wait one more year?

Let's wait one more year, Captain.

Let's wait one more year.

I expect that's best.

Looks like the captain's finally formed an attachment.

And to a female at that.

Just like I done. Well, not quite.

Good night, y'all. Time for bed!

"...all the dancers, the fiddlers just playing away.

"They're all dancing, and that looks like some sort of a pole there.

"I guess that's what they call a maypole, I think.

"I don't know what that is, but they're all giving him their twopence...

and then they went away."
