Original subtitles

Whoa! Get some rest.

Deserted landscape, nothing anywhere, just rutted tracks and dust.

If it rains a little, I'd probably drown.

The amount of dust would probably wake you up again.

It's Prairie Dog.

Hello, coachman!

Hey, Davey. Pull over!

I thought you'd never stop. - Did you shoot that?

- Do you know where Dave Brown lives? - Yeah, I do.

He's got a broken leg and he has to be transported to the city.

- I'll pick him up. - Thank you.

- I'm going back with you tonight. - How's that?

Hannah's father must be in Denver in Denver to pick up the insurance money.

Hannah wants to buy a wedding dress, and I'm going with her,

to see if you're buy the ones I like.

Congratulations!

Hannah got engaged. She couldn't have picked a better man.

Who is it?

Sam Martin. He's a doctor here.

I didn't know, there was a vet here.

Sam doesn't treat animals, he treats people.

He's damn good.

He looks more like a member Dembrowy gang than a doctor.

If I were you, I wouldn't put it there, where a doctor could hear it.

He wouldn't like it if you people confusing him with a bandit.

He's a quick guy, whether it's a pill or a gun.

Then take it!

Looking for a white horse rider?

Same...

I thought you weren't coming back in time to catch the stagecoach.

Don't worry about it. your pretty little head.

The delivery man won't be here before in an hour. I'll be ready.

You know your office will be full when you get there.

People can't help themselves.

But this trip means so much to me.

Every time you two do something together. we make plans together, someone interrupts.

Look, Hannah.

They're building a white house behind that hill.

You can't see it, but it's there. And he's ours, Hannah.

We will live in it. Together for the rest of our lives.

I know, I know.

What is it?

Nothing.

You don't seem to be excited about it.

I don't know. Sometimes I'm pretty sure.

And other times I'm scared.

Of what?

When we're together, I feel happy and safe.

And then suddenly he needs you someone else needs you, and you walk away without a word.

Without giving me a second glance.

Sometimes I wonder how much I really mean to you.

- Sometimes I think... - You're just nervous.

Every woman behaves like this right before her wedding day.

I hope you're right.

As soon as you're ready, come to my house with your father.

And who won't be done by then, will have to fend for themselves.

Sam's coming.

- Is he here? - He'll be here soon.

I was told, to get in line.

- Hey, Sam. - Welcome, Doctor.

So many patients in one I've never seen in one place before.

Oh, that's right.

I'm just afraid they won't know, how to survive when you're out of town.

I'm feeling fine now, Sam.

Since then, since you fixed my back.

I think you'd have had a better trip,

if I paid you for your suffering, for the suffering you've caused me.

- I never turned down a dollar or a compliment. - Doctor... I was the first.

I'll get it ready.

Whiskey?

Shh. It would break her heart. She thinks no one knows.

Here it is. One spoonful before dinner.

Doctor, I thought that since one spoon makes me feel so good...

- One tablespoon, no more. - But, Doctor...

Not a drop more, Grandma. Do you understand?

Yes, Doctor. I understand.

Doctor?

Yes, I know.

I told you, to come last Wednesday.

I didn't mean to bother you.

It's not about the trouble, but to make me worry less.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

I'm telling you, how do you run a business?

Hand me that harmonica.

You mean your arm's fine? In condition to play?

I assume you're cured.

- Hello. - Hello, Mr. Broadway.

I'm very happy, that you're coming, Miss Hannah.

- What? - I think you know,

what I wanted to tell you. You and the doctor.

- Thank you. Thank you. When are we leaving? - In about 15 minutes.

- That's what you're hearing from Steve. - Let's check it out.

But Grandma...

Hannah...

- It's fine when you're not working. - Let's dance.

- Same! - I'll be right back.

The first man, who moves, I'll shoot him.

I don't care who it is.

- Bert's on the rampage again. - He doesn't care who he hits.

Put the gun down, Bert.

Stay out of this.

Stay where you are, Doctor.

Give it to me, Bert.

Give me the gun, Bert, before you get into serious trouble.

Give it to me, Bert.

Doctor, I'm telling you, to stay where you are.

I don't want to hurt you, Doctor.

That was a good idea, Jake.

That thing would blow my mind.

- Did he hit anyone? - He shot at me, but missed.

I'll take the gun, Bert.

I have enough sick people without your help.

Next time you're in this town. ...I'll cut your skull in half myself.

- Do you understand? - Yeah, I do.

You two shake hands. Come on. Come on.

Come on, everybody. Have a drink on me.

- Come on, guys. - What about you, Doc?

I have to go.

He's gotta let that happen. The doctor's a great guy.

You bet it is.

Let's all go to the parlor.

- I'll get the stuff and load it up. - Okay, I'll get them. Thanks, Davey.

The Jackorski family.

Hello, Mr. Jackorski. You too, Mrs. Jackorski and the children.

- My favorite patients. - Lots of work.

- And a small salary. - He needs pain medication.

- I'll check it out. - No, Dr. Sam.

We didn't come for medicine, we came to say goodbye. I'll put goose fat on it at home.

Okay, okay, okay, okay. Line up, kids. and open your mouths.

- Thank you, Doctor. - Thank you, Dr. Sam.

Thank you, Dr. Sam.

- I have to follow the timetable. - You better hurry up.

Hold on a second. Stick your tongue out.

Something wrong, Doctor?

Let's see if he's okay.

Darling, you know how I hate to say it.

- But I can't go with you. - Why not?

I'm afraid it's diphtheria.

Diphtheria? Then you'd better stay.

No, Dr. Sam. Go on.

Tell me what to do. I'll take care of Janine.

It's not that easy. Even if you you take care of her, she'll still be contagious.

You better get her to a doctor's office.

- I can't go, Hannah. - Do you want me to stay with you?

No, go and buy that wedding dress, I'll like any dress.

- Same... - Make up your minds, people. I gotta go.

Dr. Sam...

When he wakes up, he'll be hungry.

I'll feed her.

I would need to have a gold mine on the property.

What would you do with him.

You're already loaded like this. on your shoulders enough.

Barfly confided in me. I guess he didn't expect you back so soon.

- Otherwise, he wouldn't have left. - I was at the Jackorskis'.

Every morning for the last three weeks.

- The kids are fine now. - You better think about yourself,

unless you want to disappoint Hannah. The delivery driver's coming this afternoon.

Yeah, I know.

I guess all that's left half an hour to Prairie Dog.

It was a nice trip.

But it's better at home.

- I read in a book. - No time to read now.

It was about King David.

He had an ungrateful son, who turned against him.

- A boy named Absalom. - Here they are.

Yeah, I'm fine. Let's get started.

Poor King David, when Absalom turned against him.

His own boy.

Time to go, boys.

- Cash? - Ready, Father.

- Frank? - Ready, Father.

I know how King David felt.

He had the heart of a father, just like me.

Dembrow!

We don't stand a chance against the Dembras. Put it away.

A man who doesn't care, what he's told will pay the price.

They'll be obedient, boys.

Would you like to get off?

I think I'll take this.

Which one of you is the insurance guy?

Thank you.

I had one of those once, but someone stole them.

- I like the earrings. - No, I don't.

That's better, ma'am.

Drop your weapons.

Come on!

Give it to me.

And the earrings.

And my watch.

Look, we'll make a deal.

- Let's have a little chat. - You too.

A man who doesn't pay attention to what he ...might pay the price.

It's over.

I would have hit him, if you hadn't pushed me.

This man is for us risked his life for us.

I'm sorry, sir.

- Thank you, ma'am. - And I do.

My name is Hannah Brockway.

I'm Ben.

Ben Taylor.

Davey...

We need him immediately to Sam Martin.

To the doctor?

He's a good doctor. He lives in Prairie Dog.

Okay, okay, okay, okay. You can hold him, while I'm carriage driving?

Let's get him in. It's more comfortable.

He's pretty badly injured.

I think we'll leave him here, Father.

Tie up my horse and get on. Let's get going.

Let her go.

You like excitement, don't you?

Yes, I do.

Here he comes.

They don't stop.

Look, Davey's hurt.

Sam, look!

I won't be riding with him again.

Honey, honey, are you hurt?

No, I'm not. Davey is.

- Ben Taylor. - What's up?

Mr. Taylor saved us. He showed up when the Dembrows were stealing from us.

You didn't hold them back?

No, they escaped.

Somebody help us.

Hanging is too good for anyone Dembrow ever born.

That bunch of them still never been this close.

I'm moving out of here.

Calm down, guys.

Take him inside.

Let me help you.

Guys, this is Ben Taylor, the man, who fought off the Dembrow gang.

Bartender, the man's thirsty.

No, thank you. I've had enough.

Enough? Prarie Dog has to repay you.

Mr. Taylor, this town won't long forget what you did.

Drink up, Ben.

- Hey, guys. - Hey, Sam.

- We have a real hero here. - We do.

Well, you can't see much from here.

What are you doing here so early?

I didn't want to miss you before you went on your rounds.

Let's go.

Sit down and eat.

Pull up a chair.

What's bothering you? You don't look sick.

No, I didn't. But my mother.

What's wrong with her?

Stupid question, isn't it?

I don't know, Doctor. It's been a long time coming.

Now it's gotten worse.

It seems that already there's not much I can do.

Why did you wait so long, instead of calling me?

I didn't know until yesterday, there was a doctor in this part of the world.

- Where is he? - I have a cabin on the side of the road.

That's interesting, I don't remember, I've ever seen you before.

I know most of the people around here.

We came here a few weeks ago.

She's really sick.

Let's go.

This is Hannah, right?

Miss Brockway, I was gonna say.

Yes.

We should go.

When did you first notice symptoms, Mrs. Taylor?

It's been a long time or maybe a year or two?

A while ago.

Something's happened, that upset you?

Since then...

Ever since we arrived to these parts.

I understand.

Every two hours, have a full teaspoon into a glass of water.

And every night one of them.

They will help you relax.

Have a nice day.

Just stop worrying.

Doctor...

How is she?

Wrong. You can see that for yourself.

Yeah, I can see that.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Before I start treatment, I need to find out what the disease is.

Are you gonna keep asking her questions? She answered you.

I asked her, but she didn't answer me.

Look, Ben.

Your mother tells me, what I see myself.

What part of her body hurts that she can't sleeping and not having much appetite.

These are symptoms. But the cause is much deeper.

Something in your mother's mind.

Are you trying to tell me that...

No. Your mother is sane. like everyone I've ever met.

There's something they're afraid of. He's very afraid.

What is it, Ben?

Ben, I'm not trying to pry into your secrets.

I just need to find out what your is bothering your mother before I start treating her.

There is no such thing.

I'm a doctor, Ben. I hear a lot of things.

And what I hear stays with me.

There's nothing.

Attention, Doctor!

You were quick to draw.

How can a man who shoots like that as fast and accurate as you,

let three bandits get away?

What are you trying to say?

Nothing. I'm just asking.

I've been thinking about it ever since since you brought the stagecoach into town.

- Goodbye, Doctor. - Goodbye, Doctor.

When will you be back?

I'm not coming back.

You're not coming back? What do you mean, Doctor? My mother's sick.

The medicine I gave her won't cure her, but it will make her feel better.

Then he can come into the office and pick up his next dose.

That's all I can do for her.

Doctor?

It's not easy for me to talk about.

Take your time.

My name's not Ben Taylor.

I knew it. You're Demrow.

I'm against them, Doctor. My father and my brothers.

Is that why you let them get away?

Kill your own relatives is hard, no matter who it is.

The first thing in I remember in my life was,

that I woke up in the night and heard my mother,

as he begs his father, to live like other people.

My own mother cried and begged him.

When I grew up, I told my father, that I was going to be what she wanted.

He laughed at me.

He said, "What's in your blood will manifest itself, no matter what you do."

In your blood?

Yeah, our grandfather was just like him.

Think of it this way, Ben.

Every human being who has ever been born, had four grandparents, eight great-grandparents

and 16 great-grandparents.

If you were looking far enough, you got blood

almost every human human beings in the whole world.

And most of them are good people.

It's okay, Ben.

Tell your mother, she'll be relieved.

There's one more thing.

I don't have any money.

I'm building a house right now and I could use a pair of hands.

I'll pay you a regular wage, so you can pay me back what you owe me.

- Sure. - And no fooling around at work.

I'm getting married, as soon as the house is finished.

I'll expect you at work in the morning.

- Good morning, Sam. - Morning, Davey.

I'm leaving today.

Ten days out of bed from you doesn't make you a competent coachman.

Well, I'll just go. Ben's driving.

The Dembrows are on the rampage again. They robbed a bank in Silvertip.

And I just hope that from them I don't catch another bullet from them on the way.

Here's one for Nate Brockaway.

If you had a way around...

Oh, yeah, Davey.

Good morning.

Come in and sit.

I have to make my rounds, maybe Hannah would like to come with me.

You're late.

After breakfast, she saddled a mare Palomino and went to his house.

To see how Ben lives.

She was in a hurry. Who knows if I'll see him at work.

You can't expect him to rush, when you're paying him every day.

This is what the stagecoach brought you.

Don't just throw $5,000 around.

There's $5,000 in that little package?

It's an insurance claim for Miller's widow.

I have to put them in the vault.

Every time I get to the green paper, someone interrupts me.

This is a waste of time, Mr. Brockway.

Do not use in the city the gun, Cash, it's noisy.

Would you mind to open that safe again?

Convince him.

- So what? - No. No, no, no, no.

He's stubborn, Cash.

That's a beautiful thing.

During the war, you would have you'd see a lot of them up north.

The money's not mine.

Then why are you so rebellious?

It belongs to a widow with two children.

I have three. Two are here with me, and the third is indifferent to me.

Don't you want to change your mind?

No.

Money is the root of all evil.

Doctor, it's certainly good to see you.

Is Hannah here?

She's inside with my mother.

My mother was pretty sick. We thought she was going to die.

Is he gonna die? She seemed fine yesterday.

Dad was here. He came before dawn.

How did he know where you were?

I don't know. I swear, Doctor, I don't know.

Before he left, he talked to his mother alone. I don't know what he said to her, but she was feeling worse.

I'll take a look at her.

- Hey, Sam. - Hello, Hannah.

I was trying to keep her warm.

- Same... - See if you can find some blankets,

warm them over the stove, and then bring them to me.

Ben, your mother needs another blankets. Show Hannah where they are.

Help! Help!

I was dreaming, I thought I heard some screaming.

Help! Help!

Now I hear it too.

- He won't scream anymore. - He can't even talk.

They're coming in from the stagecoach.

They heard him.

I think we need to get out of here.

I'll give them a taste of medicine!

Cash!

Did you hear that in the city I don't like guns in town.

Come on, boys.

It's them, the Dembrows, and they're running.

Go back to town. Tell the sheriff. He'll take the men and go after them.

- I'll take care of Nate. - Okay, I'll take care of Nate.

Cover her.

Barricade the door.

Get out!

Careful.

I told you to get out.

Help your brothers, Ben.

- I want this place to be quiet. - Who's that?

Dr. Martin is taking care of his mother.

Well, keep her quiet, Doctor, when the shooting starts.

Shooting? You want to kill him?

Whatever. Let's get started.

Drop it, Cash!

Mrs. Taylor...

Stop it!

Now you see how you upset your mother.

I told you to leave.

- Honor your father, boy. - Your father?

I didn't mean to hurt you, son. Get out of my way.

Kirk, shoot.

That's all you have left.

Get in there.

- Now get out. - Take it out.

Miss, we were a little concerned that we didn't know where you were.

The Dembrows were ambushed your father, pretty much wrecked him.

We follow them all the way here.

They just escaped from here. They went over the hill.

- Then they both mean your father... - I'm sorry?

So your name is Dembrow.

That's right.

You're under arrest.

You want to shut him down? Did he have anything to do with this?

He was here the whole time.

They'll believe you, Sam.

It's true, Sheriff. He's been here the whole time.

Dembrow is Dembrow. Come on.

- You can't take him, Joe. - What's to stop me?

Arrest him and let's go. We're wasting time.

Look, Joe, his mother's inside. She's dying.

I'm sorry, but it's my my duty to arrest him.

Mine's to save lives. If you take Ben,

you take away her reason to live.

Sorry, I have to arrest him.

I'll bring him to town.

- What if he doesn't want to go? - I'll make him.

Come on, end it, Joe. Let's get going.

Okay, Sam. He's your prisoner.

But if you get away,

you'd better find a new county, where you'll practice medicine.

Guys, it looks like the first in our new prison is gonna be Dembrow.

I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't realize.

It wasn't your fault. Luck just left me.

You better go see your father.

We'll have to swim across.

How are you feeling, Father?

Don't worry. The Dembrows will pay for this.

Dembrow? I'm gonna take that name as long as I live.

Sorry, Ben. I did the best I could.

We should get going back to town, Ben.

You were serious, Doctor, what you told the sheriff? I did.

But you know I'm innocent.

There are two good reasons, for a man to stand trial, Ben.

To prove him guilty or to prove his innocence.

I don't stand a chance, Doctor. I'm Dembrow.

If I let you go now, Ben, they'll be after you for the rest of your life.

If I come with you, I won't stay alive. They'll hang me.

Come on, Ben.

Okay, okay, okay, okay. Have it your way.

I was just starting thinking he wasn't coming.

I promised you he'd come.

I gave Ben the floor, that he would have a fair trial.

A fair trial? Sure, he'll have one.

Good night, Ben.

So a fair trial?

Well, Ben Dembrowe aka Taylor,

I'll bet you the west west of the Mississippi there's never been a man

hung so justly, as you will be.

I'm here.

Tell Dr. Martin, that I'm here.

The doctor's not here. He went to the funeral.

For a funeral? Dr. Martin is escorting the Dembrow girl?

That's the kind of person he is.

But don't worry, I'm sure it'll go on yours.

They should have let me to go to her funeral.

Although maybe it's better this way.

Ben, you've been here a long time. you're not gonna be here much longer. You're innocent.

They want to hang Dembrow.

I was unlucky, they got me.

You shouldn't talk like that, or even think.

You weren't convicted. You haven't had a trial yet.

Court?

If you only knew how Sam trying to help you,

he won't let them convict you.

You trust Sam a lot, don't you?

Yes, of course.

I think you'd better go now.

I spoke of him as a hero, but he laughed at us the whole time.

What pisses me off is everything all the drinks I bought him.

You weren't the only one.

He calls himself Taylor, a respectable name.

I don't understand why the doctor is defending him.

If it wasn't for Sam, Dembrow would have been hanged by now.

Let's go inside.

You admit that your name is Ben Dembrow, Mr. Taylor?

Quiet, quiet.

- So? - I admit it.

And you also admit that if you were hadn't pushed Nate Brockway away,

could have hit the bandits?

That's something I'd like to explain.

We don't need any explanation.

- Just answer my question, yes or no? Yes.

You say you haven't been in contact with your family since you left them.

That's right.

Still, when they wanted to hide, they knew exactly where to go.

Isn't that right?

- In a way, it is. - Yes or no?

Give him a chance, Mark.

That's what I'm doing. Thanks to you.

Quiet, quiet.

Answer my question, Dembrow.

Yes.

They can't hang a man just because his name is Dembrow.

People have no character by their names.

Miss Hannah, you're here, to visit Dembrow again?

- May I? - Well, it's not against the law.

It doesn't help anything either.

Thank you. Thank you.

You have company.

Hey, Ben.

You know he was right.

- With the law? - No.

That you shouldn't come here.

I'm expecting, you'll look me up later.

Why do you come here?

You know why.

Ben, dear, I...

Why, Hannah...

Even if I get out of here, I'd be a scarred man.

And persecuted.

We wouldn't have peace, no future.

Let's get out of here.

I already did. I went to Prairie Dog.

But Ben, can't you see that?

A couple of weeks ago. you didn't know I existed.

A few more weeks, one way or another, I'll be gone.

It'll be like we're we never knew each other.

It will never be like that again.

Will you take the doctor?

He'll make you happy.

That's exactly what you deserve.

But don't you get it?

I love you.

Time's up.

Dr. Martin now says, that Ben Dembrow must

be exonerated because he prevented the first assault.

- We don't care why he did it! - Stop it already!

Calm down. Calm down!

Gentlemen, if you think about it,

it's a thing, that ties the whole case together.

The smartest one that the Dembrows could do would be to gain our trust.

And that's exactly what they did.

They sent Ben Dembrow, to play hero.

And they almost got away with it.

He knew what was going on in this town going on in this town as soon as it happened.

Nate Brockway barely had enough time to lock up the money

to the vault before Ben Dembrow called in the others.

There's only one thing that belongs to a rat like that.

The rope around his neck.

- Every word you said is a lie. - Calm down, Ben.

Mark, Ben wasn't there that day near Brockway's house that day, and you know it.

- You're not his lawyer, Sam. - No, I'm not, Mark.

That's no reason to send an innocent man to the gallows.

What do you mean, sent?

What a waste of words. I won't get a fair trial.

What do you think? We've been sitting here for three days and we haven't hung you yet.

That's right, Doctor.

He's getting a fair trial.

Judge, what entitles you to talk like that?

You know the drill. You wouldn't be a juror, if you dismissed the evidence.

And I wouldn't talk here, if I wasn't sure Ben was innocent.

I've been watching him ever since he came to town.

How he took care of his mother.

When the Dembrows entered the house after robbing Brockway, I was there.

He was determined to kill his own father.

He wanted to kill those men, he was supposed to be working with.

Why didn't he kill him?

Judge, your mission is to be impartial.

Then tell me. Why didn't he?

Because he was scared, that the shooting would kill his mother.

He did everything he could, to try and save her life.

I was with him when she died.

I brought him from there to prison.

And since then. you've been trying to get him out.

You surprise me, Mark.

I promised him a fair trial.

And I knew, that my promise would be kept.

- Sit down, Doctor. - He'll get what's coming to him.

I knew it, that a lot of people would start calling

after the hanging, the moment he finds out his name is Dembrow.

But I know that you, twelve men, will not be swayed by the prosecutor's talk.

The only thing that is here proven is a fact,

that Ben's name is the same as his father's.

And it doesn't require hanging.

Not in any state.

You are all my friends here.

So did he.

But that's not the reason, why I want you to free him.

- He's innocent. - That was a very nice speech.

But I'd just like to ask the doctor one question, Judge, if you don't mind.

No, Mark. Go on.

Sam, do you even know that Hannah Brockway

the man is visiting since he's been in prison?

Wait, but that's...

Ben is on trial here for robbery.

Not because of that, who visited him in prison.

I know that Mark is a good man and a good lawyer.

It's probably a tough case for him,

when instead of evidence. they have to dig up a scandal.

Gentlemen, you've heard it all.

Step back and decide.

Hands in the air!

That's right. Hold them up.

Now stand against the wall.

Frank, get your guns.

Cash, you watch the door.

What are you waiting for, Ben?

You're on the wrong side.

- Don't do it, Ben. - Why shouldn't I?

If you escape from this court of this courtroom, you'll be one of them.

I've been that way ever since since I was brought to this court.

The jury won't convict you, Ben. I'll bet my life on it.

This is your life, Doctor, not mine.

Attention, Ben!

It's Dembrow.

- Done. - All right, boys.

There are no other horses out there except ours.

We checked it out just in case, in case you want to follow us.

So goodbye, guys.

There's a damn Dembrow, we won't have to hang.

What happened?

He hit me in the head with the butt of a gun and ran off with the rest of the Dembrows.

And it's solved.

Here we can see, how wrong we all were.

- We voted to free him. - That's right.

Hey, Doc. I got that one.

This isn't a robbery.

Just a little friendly visit.

- I'm here to pay you. - For what?

For my mother's funeral.

- I don't want the money, Ben. - You deserve it.

I don't want them.

If you don't want them, it's your business.

But I pay my debts.

- You're making a mistake. - A mistake?

I made two mistakes, Doctor.

One, I left my family,

and then when I said to Hannah, that she should marry you.

With the first one. I couldn't do anything about.

And the other one?

Hannah...

I can fix the other one. She'll marry me.

You forgot your mother, Ben?

The things you've done to me you told me about her life?

How did we see her die?

No, I haven't forgotten.

You're Dembrow after all.

I guess you're right.

See you later, Doc.

Cash, you and I take the horses to the creek.

Ben, you stay here and help your your wife pack her things. Hurry up.

- Ben, do we have to leave? - We're in trouble.

I'm not gonna make it, Ben. I can't run anymore.

Please, you know, it can't go on like this.

Okay, honey, we're not running anymore.

What do you want to do? Wait here for the sheriff to find us?

I'm not asking you, to wait for us.

I'm not saving your neck again. That's why they killed Frank.

And you stop whining. If you get you don't like it here, go back to your father.

Come on, you're brothers. What's going on?

I told him that if it's not enough, let her go.

- Hannah is my wife. - Of course she is.

He can't go on. I'll take her away.

You don't have to do this, son.

My kid gets a chance.

Of course I am. It's Dembrow.

I know the abode. Cash and I stay there sometimes.

Nice little place high in the mountains. We'll all go there and wait.

- But I... - Don't worry, daughter.

Fate has been kind to us.

We have plenty of money and we can last as long as we need to.

Something bothering you, Ben?

A father has a responsibility, Cash.

and you never know, when you're gonna need it.

We were at your wife's all morning, son.

I don't know what to say to her.

Do as you're told.

Hey, guys!

It's the Alkali Kid.

You don't know him, because you've been away for so long.

While we're here, they bring us supplies from the city.

- How are you, Alkali? - Not so good.

If you happen to have a sip for poor old Alkali...

Take a sip.

- No! When you've put the beans down, you can have another.

I'll do it right now.

Let's talk more about this, Ben.

There's nothing more to talk about.

Then say it again. I'd love to hear it.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

When the baby is born, we'll pack up and leave.

- Somewhere far away. - That's right.

The others won't know where we are.

We'll live like other people.

- Just the three of us? - Just the three of us.

- And now? - First, lay down the bags on the shelf. Come on, Cash.

Now you better get some rest.

- Is he feeling better? - Yeah, he's feeling better.

I told you.

What happens when he finds out it's a lie?

Nothing.

It's a comfort to her in times of trouble.

Besides, when her time comes,

will be connected to us by blood.

Then he'll know that for us there is no other life for us.

Kirk said I could have a drink, after I put these things away.

Who are you?

I take the guys stuff from the store.

And you're going away again?

But I'll be back, if the guys want me to.

They know they can trust me.

You know the town of Prairie Dog?

Do they have anything to drink?

The whole bottle.

Listen, at Prairie Dog there's a doctor. His name is Martin.

Sam. What is it? Aren't you listening?

- He's gonna take my bottle. - He won't.

People always do. Even the guys here.

Dr. Martin will give you a bottle.

Tell the doctor Sam Martin that I'm sending you.

Just tell him, Hannah needs you, Sam.

And he'll give you the whole bottle.

A whole bottle?

Who's gonna give it to me?

Sam Martin will give it to you.

If you tell him that Hannah he'll give you the whole bottle.

But if you forget, you won't get the bottle.

Dr. Sam Martin.

Well, I guess this is the end.

Wait until I leave town and my give my house to the Jackorskis.

What if you come back?

I'm not coming back.

Prairie Dog will be will surely miss you, Doctor.

I don't think so, Barfly. I haven't had a patient in a long time.

Since I've been helping Ben Dembro.

That'll change if you hang in there for a while.

I've waited too long.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I want a bottle of whiskey.

She said I should take the back way out the back door so no one would see me

and you give me the whole bottle.

The salon is around the next corner.

They'll give you all the bottles, that you have money for.

No, she told me to tell, Hannah needs you, Sam.

What? Hannah...

Where is he?

A whole big bottle.

Tell me where he is.

It's high...

You'd better get the hell out of here. Before the horses step on you.

I said, Hannah needs Sam.

- And he gave me a bottle. - Hannah?

A full bottle.

Just like she said, so he did.

And then the doctor left.

Better leave him alone, Nate.

Everything he knows, you're gonna wipe out of his head.

So, buddy, where'd the doctor go?

I want to see the bottle first.

Nate, gather all those who are to join the prosecution of the Dembrows.

So the faster you talk, the faster the bottle is yours.

First...

Show me the bottle first.

Go, Doctor.

It's the doctor.

He can help Hannah.

What are you doing here?

Hannah said she needed me.

How did she send a message here?

You should know, the doctor won't tell you.

She's always been a little mysterious.

Are you alone?

I wish I could, without hurting Hannah,

I'd bring a lot of men here, to finish you off.

I thought for her it would be better if I came alone.

That sounds reasonable.

What do we do with him then?

We'll see about that later. Go inside, Doctor.

Ben's wife needs help.

I was so scared, Sam.

I didn't know what to do.

That's why I...

Drink this, please.

Same...

When they want a father, they'll call you.

There's a squad coming in, probably all the guys in town.

- The doctor lied. - Yeah, I should have shot him right away.

What good would that do?

Bring our horses.

You take care of your wife. She's going in the car.

Sam, I want to talk.

You should rest before giving birth.

Come on, we're moving.

You know what's gonna happen, if you move Hannah now?

You should have made sure that it it didn't have to be because of you, Doctor.

- Why? - Ask your friend.

What are you talking about?

People you didn't tell, where they should be looking for this place,

apparently they just happen to be arriving armed to start a war.

Come on, hurry up.

I'll drive.

At least the doctor won't have to talk me into anything.

Let him go, Ben.

If anything happens to her, Cash, you're gonna wish you hadn't been born.

Let's go.

- Sam, I can't stand this. - I know, I know.

- Hey, slow down! - Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Thanks for the reminder.

Maybe the squad will catch up with us.

After them!

We're gonna head over the hill and try to attract the troop.

We can get lost in the ravines.

If they don't follow us, I'll be praying for you, son.

You know where to meet.

Sam, please.

Please make him stop.

It won't survive this the way he's driving.

If one of us has to die, I'd rather it be her than me.

Where are the others?

They drove between the ravines and hoped, that you would follow them.

- Maybe we'll catch up with them. - Let's go.

Wait, Nate.

They don't need you. Hannah's in the car.

You'll be a grandfather by morning.

She needs to be transported home.

I didn't know he had a home.

He needs you there.

Hurry up. We have to get her to your house.

Not at my house.

She's Denbrow.

She's your daughter. If you approach her you have feelings for her, go to the Jackorskis.

He will find his home with them.

He's a healthy kid.

- Why don't we have a baby, Mom? - What you're not thinking about.

Hey, Hannah.

What are you doing here?

- Is it a boy or a girl? - A boy.

We'll name him Kirk after my father.

- You shouldn't be here, Ben. - I won't be long.

Put it on. We don't have much time.

I'm not going.

You're my wife, Hannah.

- I'm not running anymore. - You won't have to.

What your father told you to do, to tell me this time?

That we're going to Mexico or Oregon?

Just the three of us, you, me and the baby.

I found a farm, nice place.

You and the boy can stay there...

Until the next squad catches up with you. and you have to run again?

I want to live like other people, Ben.

I'm Dembrow and I will live as Dembrow.

Make up your mind.

- What's the doctor doing here? - Shut up, Ben. He'll hear you.

Hey, kids, look who I'm leading.

This is for you.

- Where's Hannah? - In her room.

- I want to see the baby. - The baby?

Or your mother?

Hannah?

Here he comes. I'm gonna kill him.

- Hannah! - I'll be right there, Sam.

Get rid of him.

- How's he doing? - He's sleepy.

I want to take a look at it, before I go on my rounds.

I have five patients.

- People want me to treat them again. - That's good.

They should be ashamed, especially themselves. for themselves, the way they treated you.

You treat him like your own.

It seems that in your in your arms.

- Nice to meet you, Hannah. - I'll wait for her to wake up.

Sam, take me with me on my rounds.

- You want to come with me? - I need some air.

I was locked up all day.

Please take me.

Nothing would please me more.

- I'll get you a cloak. - I'll get it.

I thought you were gonna get rid of him.

I had to say I'd go with him, to give you a chance to get away.

What are you gonna do when I'm gone?

- Come on, Hannah! - I'm coming.

Sam, you once told Ben it doesn't matter what kind of blood you have.

- Yes. - Tell me the truth, Sam.

My baby is Demrow.

I told Ben the truth.

I need to know.

Hannah, it's hard for me to say

and even worse. to listen to you.

Ben was sick a long time ago before I met him.

He was full of self-pity and hatred.

But you said, he can overcome these things.

He could have. He had a chance to save himself.

Until the moment when he fled the courtroom.

But they wanted to hang him.

He was in a difficult situation, but running away didn't solve anything.

The man who runs away when he goes ...when the going gets tough, he's a goner.

And my baby?

That's very much up to you.

Dr. Sam, wait!

It's a child.

Dembrow came and took him away.

Sam, baby!

He was pointing a gun at us, made us stand against the wall.

When I ran out, he was headed for Yellow Rock.

They have friends there.

Sometimes they stay in the salon, using the name Johnson.

- Take Hannah home. - Of course.

Link, take the horse away to the stable and bring mine.

Of course, Doctor.

What's the rush, Sam?

- I have to do surgery. - Surgery?

You want me to go with you and help you?

This is a job for one.

Don't even bother tying you up, Doctor.

You're not staying here.

No rest for a tired rider.

I don't know how Cash would take it because of what you did to him,

but I'll give you a chance.

I'll let you go before I take a shot at you.

If you're faster than a bullet, you can get away with it.

Come on, Doc. I'm getting impatient.

- Where's Ben Johnson? - He's at his place.

Ben, quick, your father...

No.

First Cash, now Dad.

And now you want to deal a third Dembrow.

I want Hannah's baby back.

It's mine and it stays with me.

Whenever you come to us my wife can join us.

You wouldn't put it that way, Doctor, if you were me?

If I were you, I'd sit on a horse and ride out of town.

No, Doctor.

If I leave this town alive, it will be up to you.

I'm sure, they'd shoot me in the back.

If you want something, what I have, come to the salon.

I'll be waiting for you there.

Another one?

Pour me a drink.

One more.

Stay here. I might be need another drink.

Let me see, give it to me.

Why aren't you living with us, Doctor?

Come on, John.

It's bedtime.

- Good night, John. - Good night, John.

Do you think I'll be living alone for a long time

in the room behind the store?

Why don't you ask her? And now.

Doctor...

Doctor, a couple of guys shooting at each other.

They need a lot of bandages. And they need them now.

- Let's go. - Sam!

You might find it useful.

It scares me when they call you for those shootings.

I'll be back.

Jackorski moved out from my house.

What do you mean, it's not time, for us to move in?

I'll be waiting for you, Sam.

Come back soon.
