1
00:01:17,411 --> 00:01:19,813
When I was growing up
on Walton's Mountain...
2
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,915
I had a tendency
to think of myself
3
00:01:21,982 --> 00:01:23,217
and my immediate family...
4
00:01:23,284 --> 00:01:24,985
as the only Waltons.
5
00:01:25,052 --> 00:01:26,354
But that wasn't true.
6
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:28,856
We were part of a great clan.
7
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:31,625
There were other mountains
and many other Waltons...
8
00:01:31,692 --> 00:01:33,661
who lived farther up
in the Blue Ridge.
9
00:01:33,727 --> 00:01:35,796
They were a part
of the family...
10
00:01:35,863 --> 00:01:40,067
whose way had scarcely been
touched by the passing of time.
11
00:01:40,134 --> 00:01:43,504
We were a family born to share
a kinship with the seasons...
12
00:01:43,571 --> 00:01:46,974
always gratefully accepting
that which the land gave...
13
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,210
but living in the knowledge
that weather
14
00:01:49,277 --> 00:01:51,979
and misfortune
could take it away.
15
00:01:52,045 --> 00:01:54,982
One summer, we were to learn
that man also...
16
00:01:55,048 --> 00:01:58,919
could take away what
the land had given.
17
00:01:58,986 --> 00:02:01,088
I can't remember a picnic
I've enjoyed more.
18
00:02:01,155 --> 00:02:02,990
Thanks for taking the day off.
19
00:02:03,056 --> 00:02:05,959
Seemed like a good idea what
with school starting so soon.
20
00:02:06,026 --> 00:02:08,061
It's been a fine day.
21
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:10,798
A day I'll remember in heaven.
22
00:02:34,322 --> 00:02:36,990
Daddy, are we taking
the long way home?
23
00:02:37,057 --> 00:02:40,093
Yeah. No point rushing a day
as good as this, is there?
24
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,196
No, sir.
25
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:12,125
That big park and highway we've
been hearing so much about.
26
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:14,962
Be a nice place to drive,
if they ever finish it.
27
00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:17,531
Was a nice place to drive
before they started it.
28
00:03:17,598 --> 00:03:19,567
It was nothing
but a bumpy old road.
29
00:03:19,633 --> 00:03:22,270
This is going to be a fine
modern highway.
30
00:03:27,941 --> 00:03:30,911
Come up, Elizabeth.
31
00:03:32,813 --> 00:03:34,782
What's Daddy going through
all this dust for?
32
00:03:34,848 --> 00:03:36,817
I thought today was
supposed to be fun.
33
00:03:36,884 --> 00:03:38,118
It's interesting, Erin.
34
00:03:38,185 --> 00:03:40,421
When they finish this highway
and connect it up...
35
00:03:40,488 --> 00:03:42,456
it's going to be over
400 miles long.
36
00:03:42,523 --> 00:03:44,458
Who needs 400 miles of dust?
37
00:03:44,525 --> 00:03:46,327
There won't be dust when it's
all finished, silly.
38
00:03:46,394 --> 00:03:47,795
It's gonna be paved over.
39
00:03:47,861 --> 00:03:49,897
-Mr. Know-it-all!
-It's gonna connect up with...
40
00:03:49,963 --> 00:03:53,301
the Great Smoky Mountains,
all the way down in Tennessee.
41
00:03:53,367 --> 00:03:54,635
-John-Boy....
-What, honey?
42
00:03:54,702 --> 00:03:56,437
I've got to go to the bathroom.
43
00:03:56,504 --> 00:03:59,006
You want me to tell Daddy
to stop the truck?
44
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:00,474
-No.
-Well, why not?
45
00:04:00,541 --> 00:04:03,143
-I don't wanna go in the weeds.
-What are you gonna do?
46
00:04:03,210 --> 00:04:04,745
I'll wait.
47
00:04:04,812 --> 00:04:08,716
I had no idea this was coming
so near Walton property.
48
00:04:08,782 --> 00:04:10,784
Walton property? Way up here?
49
00:04:10,851 --> 00:04:12,853
Yes, there's some kin of yours,
Elizabeth...
50
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,424
no more than a spit and throw
from this very ridge road.
51
00:05:11,412 --> 00:05:13,180
Where's everybody going?
52
00:05:13,246 --> 00:05:16,817
Must be, they have to move
to make way for the new park.
53
00:05:16,884 --> 00:05:20,488
That road can only lead
but one place for them.
54
00:05:20,554 --> 00:05:22,923
Where's that, Grandpa?
55
00:05:22,990 --> 00:05:25,826
To heartbreak from
the looks of it.
56
00:05:39,807 --> 00:05:42,376
How far east you cutting
this highway of yours?
57
00:05:42,443 --> 00:05:44,445
Two miles
this side of Blue Rock Creek.
58
00:05:44,512 --> 00:05:45,713
Blue Rock Creek?
59
00:05:45,779 --> 00:05:47,748
Yeah. You follow
the course of the creek
60
00:05:47,815 --> 00:05:49,850
right up to where
the dam will be built...
61
00:05:49,917 --> 00:05:53,020
up from the crossing at
Jefferson Gap.
62
00:05:53,086 --> 00:05:56,089
Say, mister, you seen an old
woman with a grown up son...
63
00:05:56,156 --> 00:05:57,758
they might be coming this way?
64
00:05:57,825 --> 00:06:00,828
Mister, they all look old to me.
Even the kids.
65
00:06:06,133 --> 00:06:07,868
They'll be driving a mule wagon
66
00:06:07,935 --> 00:06:11,038
with all hogs
and chickens with them.
67
00:06:17,978 --> 00:06:20,080
Your Aunt Martha Corinne
and Cousin Boone...
68
00:06:20,147 --> 00:06:21,749
is that who Grandpa's
worried about?
69
00:06:21,815 --> 00:06:24,051
They live just this side
of Blue Rock Creek.
70
00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:25,819
They're the ones who never come
down from the mountain.
71
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:28,756
And not just ones,
they are Waltons.
72
00:06:28,822 --> 00:06:32,025
They're the Waltons who never
come down from the mountains.
73
00:06:32,092 --> 00:06:33,927
My oldest brother Henry...
74
00:06:33,994 --> 00:06:36,897
he never come down more than
two or three times in his life.
75
00:06:36,964 --> 00:06:39,199
And his widow, Martha Corinne,
she's still up there.
76
00:06:39,266 --> 00:06:40,868
All by herself?
77
00:06:40,934 --> 00:06:44,237
No, there's her son Boone
and her great grandson, Wade.
78
00:06:44,304 --> 00:06:47,675
Zeb and I were there last year
for Boone's wife's funeral.
79
00:06:47,741 --> 00:06:49,743
No sooner had they
put her in the ground...
80
00:06:49,810 --> 00:06:51,344
then Boone had cornered Zeb...
81
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:55,015
and was trying to sell off some
of that homemade whiskey of his.
82
00:06:55,082 --> 00:07:00,287
John. John.
83
00:07:00,353 --> 00:07:01,822
-John.
-What's the matter, Pa?
84
00:07:01,889 --> 00:07:04,458
So long as we're up here,
don't you think we better
85
00:07:04,525 --> 00:07:05,826
stop by Henry's old place?
86
00:07:05,893 --> 00:07:08,662
I'm a little worried now
about Martha Corinne.
87
00:07:08,729 --> 00:07:12,032
Pa, it's getting kind of late.
How about we do it one day soon?
88
00:07:12,099 --> 00:07:14,702
One day soon may be
one day too late.
89
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:17,571
Zeb, if they'd needed us
they would have sent for us.
90
00:07:17,638 --> 00:07:19,973
I think we ought to be
getting home, Grandpa.
91
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,743
The children are dead tired
and hungry.
92
00:07:22,810 --> 00:07:25,112
How about we do it
first thing in the morning?
93
00:07:25,178 --> 00:07:27,948
Alright, if that's the best
you can do, John.
94
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:38,025
You think Aunt Martha Corinne
and Boone will have to move?
95
00:07:38,091 --> 00:07:42,129
I don't know. But Pa and me
better get there in the morning.
96
00:07:42,195 --> 00:07:45,032
Those mountains have been
home to them for a lifetime.
97
00:07:54,041 --> 00:07:55,042
Look.
98
00:07:55,108 --> 00:07:56,977
Looks like you won't
have to make that trip.
99
00:08:00,347 --> 00:08:03,684
-Hey, Boone!
-Hey, fellas!
100
00:08:03,751 --> 00:08:05,285
Thank heavens.
They're right here.
101
00:08:05,352 --> 00:08:08,021
-Come on, Elizabeth.
-Boone! You're down here.
102
00:08:08,088 --> 00:08:10,057
We was just up
on the ridgeline route...
103
00:08:10,123 --> 00:08:12,826
and they wouldn't let me
stop off to see you.
104
00:08:12,893 --> 00:08:15,896
It's been a long while since you
all been up our way.
105
00:08:15,963 --> 00:08:18,265
-How are you, Esther?
-Boone, Wade.
106
00:08:18,331 --> 00:08:19,933
It's nice to see you, Boone.
107
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,435
For them of you don't know...
108
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:25,105
meet Wade Walton, my grand boy.
109
00:08:25,172 --> 00:08:27,407
-Been a long time, Wade.
-Nice to see you.
110
00:08:27,474 --> 00:08:28,742
You've sure grown.
111
00:08:28,809 --> 00:08:31,178
Wade here has been away
with the U.S. Navy.
112
00:08:31,244 --> 00:08:32,646
Yeah, we heard.
113
00:08:32,713 --> 00:08:34,782
You all remember Cousin Boone
from up Blue Rock.
114
00:08:34,848 --> 00:08:37,551
How can he be my cousin
if he's so old?
115
00:08:37,618 --> 00:08:39,086
I'll explain it to you later.
116
00:08:39,152 --> 00:08:40,387
Zeb, Mama sent us.
117
00:08:40,453 --> 00:08:43,657
And I have a good suspicion why.
118
00:08:43,724 --> 00:08:46,660
She told us to speak
with the men of the house.
119
00:08:46,727 --> 00:08:49,663
Let's get to talking.
120
00:08:49,730 --> 00:08:52,700
So this feller, Blake,
he's the builder.
121
00:08:52,766 --> 00:08:54,768
The U.S. government
sent him in from...
122
00:08:54,835 --> 00:08:59,539
building big roads out west.
123
00:08:59,607 --> 00:09:01,742
"Move on," Blake says.
124
00:09:01,809 --> 00:09:03,944
"You got to move on.
125
00:09:04,011 --> 00:09:05,979
"This here property
is condemned...
126
00:09:06,046 --> 00:09:10,383
"for the reasons
of making a park.
127
00:09:10,450 --> 00:09:11,785
"Pack up.
128
00:09:11,852 --> 00:09:13,987
"Get relocated," he tells us.
129
00:09:14,054 --> 00:09:16,256
Where to?
130
00:09:16,323 --> 00:09:17,958
Flatlands.
131
00:09:18,025 --> 00:09:21,662
Says the government's building
houses down there for us.
132
00:09:21,729 --> 00:09:23,030
You don't choose to move?
133
00:09:23,096 --> 00:09:25,265
Of course Martha Corinne
don't choose to move.
134
00:09:25,332 --> 00:09:29,402
She's planted on that land just
like a tree.
135
00:09:29,469 --> 00:09:32,172
Others can if they want.
136
00:09:32,239 --> 00:09:33,674
Not us.
137
00:09:33,741 --> 00:09:35,643
I come home from the Navy...
138
00:09:35,709 --> 00:09:38,511
and home is where I
plan on staying.
139
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:40,480
Mama and me...
140
00:09:40,547 --> 00:09:43,483
and Wade and his Vera...
141
00:09:43,550 --> 00:09:45,853
we decided on staying.
142
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:48,221
Well, I know Martha Corinne
well enough to know...
143
00:09:48,288 --> 00:09:50,624
she didn't send you down here
just to tell us that.
144
00:09:50,691 --> 00:09:52,626
She's planning to make a stand.
145
00:09:52,693 --> 00:09:54,995
Bless her heart.
146
00:09:55,062 --> 00:09:58,298
She says you blood-kin Waltons.
147
00:09:58,365 --> 00:10:01,368
You ain't going to forget your
own folks when they need you.
148
00:10:01,434 --> 00:10:02,803
That's right.
149
00:10:02,870 --> 00:10:04,337
Won't be long before
the government
150
00:10:04,404 --> 00:10:06,106
comes trying to move us out.
151
00:10:06,173 --> 00:10:09,977
They done already commenced
their blasting up there.
152
00:10:10,043 --> 00:10:15,082
Shaping our mountains
to suit their selves.
153
00:10:15,148 --> 00:10:18,952
Martha Corinne says you come up
there and fight with us.
154
00:10:19,019 --> 00:10:21,955
You be there tomorrow.
155
00:10:22,022 --> 00:10:24,858
You mean to fight
the government?
156
00:10:24,925 --> 00:10:28,261
If it comes to that.
157
00:10:28,328 --> 00:10:32,232
You tell Martha Corinne
we'll be there.
158
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:40,107
Bring your rifles.
159
00:10:45,212 --> 00:10:48,248
Lucky they missed your place
when they drew up that park map.
160
00:10:54,587 --> 00:10:55,989
They're really serious.
161
00:10:56,056 --> 00:10:59,592
I reckon it's clear
that we're obliged to help.
162
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:01,094
It's clear.
163
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:04,364
We'll be there.
We're not taking any rifles.
164
00:12:53,974 --> 00:12:57,777
I don't see even one rifle
amongst you.
165
00:12:57,845 --> 00:13:00,480
Y'all come up here
to stick by us...
166
00:13:00,547 --> 00:13:02,282
or to wish us well?
167
00:13:02,349 --> 00:13:06,186
We are here to help you,
in whatever way seems best.
168
00:13:06,253 --> 00:13:09,356
We agreed that taking up rifles
may not be the best, though
169
00:13:09,422 --> 00:13:12,225
Martha Corinne.
170
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:16,496
What about you, young Walton?
Where do you stand?
171
00:13:16,563 --> 00:13:19,867
Well, I stand with my daddy.
172
00:13:26,940 --> 00:13:30,610
Zeb, you remember Ben Moyer
over by Afton?
173
00:13:30,677 --> 00:13:34,214
Vera here is his granddaughter.
174
00:13:34,281 --> 00:13:36,083
Ben Moyer.
175
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:39,452
Your granddaddy beat me
at the North Garden turkey shoot
176
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:41,889
three times running.
177
00:13:41,955 --> 00:13:45,926
I venture to say that
he's no longer with us?
178
00:13:45,993 --> 00:13:48,128
Took with lung disease in 1929.
179
00:13:48,195 --> 00:13:50,363
When Vera's child is born...
180
00:13:50,430 --> 00:13:54,467
there'll be four
living generations of Waltons
181
00:13:54,534 --> 00:13:57,570
on this mountain.
182
00:13:57,637 --> 00:14:01,141
I could use some help
picking blackberries.
183
00:14:01,208 --> 00:14:04,177
The bushes are just leaning
over, they're so heavy.
184
00:14:04,244 --> 00:14:07,314
I reckon you children can do
that much for me, can't you?
185
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:08,615
Yes, ma'am.
186
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:11,084
I'll allow you to keep
what I don't use.
187
00:14:11,151 --> 00:14:16,189
Go with Vera now, she'll get you
the buckets in the house.
188
00:14:16,256 --> 00:14:17,724
Can we go looking
for arrowheads?
189
00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:19,759
You let us do it the last time.
190
00:14:19,826 --> 00:14:21,094
Up in the Indian camp.
191
00:14:21,161 --> 00:14:23,163
How many did you
take home, then?
192
00:14:23,230 --> 00:14:24,998
One a piece. Just like you said.
193
00:14:25,065 --> 00:14:27,034
The rule still stands.
194
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:30,971
-So get along with you now.
-Thank you, ma'am.
195
00:14:31,038 --> 00:14:33,673
Watch out for my pigs.
They're feisty.
196
00:14:33,740 --> 00:14:36,209
Okay, we will.
197
00:14:36,276 --> 00:14:40,647
I suppose you're too old for
arrowheads and berry picking.
198
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,183
Well, I thought I'd stay here.
199
00:14:43,250 --> 00:14:47,487
You wouldn't if there was a nice
young girl going berry picking
200
00:14:47,554 --> 00:14:48,688
now, would you?
201
00:14:48,755 --> 00:14:51,624
Well, I reckon not.
202
00:14:51,691 --> 00:14:54,494
We're here, Martha Corinne,
for a council of war.
203
00:14:54,561 --> 00:14:57,064
I think it's high time
we got started.
204
00:15:03,803 --> 00:15:05,338
That's prime stuff, Boone.
205
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:07,274
You've had some of it before.
206
00:15:07,340 --> 00:15:10,643
It's out of that cask I got hid
out yonder in the woods.
207
00:15:16,549 --> 00:15:21,121
This white lightning's better
than Judge Baldwin's Recipe.
208
00:15:26,359 --> 00:15:31,031
Boone tells me this man, Blake,
is contracted to clear the area.
209
00:15:31,098 --> 00:15:33,200
Your not moving
is holding him up.
210
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:35,668
Every day means lost money
to him, I expect.
211
00:15:35,735 --> 00:15:40,540
We mean more to ourselves than
the numbers on his dollar bills.
212
00:15:40,607 --> 00:15:43,710
Boone thinks this is gonna
come down to a shooting fight.
213
00:15:43,776 --> 00:15:47,247
I think that's wrong. You can't
win that kind of a fight.
214
00:15:47,314 --> 00:15:50,617
Blake is here last night when we
come back from your place.
215
00:15:50,683 --> 00:15:53,386
He's been trying
for two months...
216
00:15:53,453 --> 00:15:58,025
for us to take his money
so that he can have our land.
217
00:15:58,091 --> 00:16:00,793
He gives us just three days
to get out...
218
00:16:00,860 --> 00:16:04,397
and claims that if we don't,
the U.S. Marshals will come up
219
00:16:04,464 --> 00:16:06,733
and move us out.
220
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:08,801
Blake comes up here...
221
00:16:08,868 --> 00:16:11,838
and he looks around...
222
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:14,574
then he walks over there...
223
00:16:14,641 --> 00:16:20,113
and he says, "Miss Walton, I
won't bother you for the salt...
224
00:16:20,180 --> 00:16:24,817
"but I'd certainly enjoy
a tomato off the vine."
225
00:16:24,884 --> 00:16:27,720
I told him to help himself.
226
00:16:27,787 --> 00:16:30,090
So he helps himself.
227
00:16:30,157 --> 00:16:33,593
And he starts
to carry on about...
228
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:36,196
how he's eaten tomatoes
off the vine...
229
00:16:36,263 --> 00:16:39,699
from 16 of these
United States...
230
00:16:39,766 --> 00:16:44,604
and how he does believe that
mine is the sweetest of 'em all.
231
00:16:47,274 --> 00:16:49,209
I says to myself he's
just trying
232
00:16:49,276 --> 00:16:51,911
to sweet-talk you,
old woman.
233
00:16:51,978 --> 00:16:57,417
Then that's when he started
telling about his road.
234
00:16:57,484 --> 00:17:00,353
He hunkers down
by that tree there...
235
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:03,156
and he says, "Mrs. Walton...
236
00:17:03,223 --> 00:17:06,793
"two lanes of my
blacktop highway...
237
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:09,496
"are going to come around
that curve...
238
00:17:09,562 --> 00:17:14,401
"and cut through those trees,
through your house...
239
00:17:14,467 --> 00:17:18,171
"and right smack
through your tomato patch...
240
00:17:18,238 --> 00:17:20,540
"pretty soon now."
241
00:17:20,607 --> 00:17:22,142
"Lord," I said...
242
00:17:22,209 --> 00:17:26,313
"you sure are planning
the smell of gasoline...
243
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:29,349
"and rubber tires burning
on a hot road
244
00:17:29,416 --> 00:17:32,152
being plentiful around here,
aren't you?"
245
00:17:32,219 --> 00:17:35,455
He says, "Yes, ma'am...
246
00:17:35,522 --> 00:17:41,394
"it's the way it's going to be,
for a fact."
247
00:17:41,461 --> 00:17:46,466
Well, I think he's the one who's
facts are confused.
248
00:17:48,435 --> 00:17:52,339
I wish I knew what Indians were
around here, and when.
249
00:17:52,405 --> 00:17:54,941
What tribes were there here?
250
00:17:55,007 --> 00:17:59,912
Miss Hunter said the Shawnees,
the Delawares, and the Catawbas.
251
00:17:59,979 --> 00:18:03,716
-They all live around here?
-No, they just passed through.
252
00:18:03,783 --> 00:18:05,952
The Blue Ridge Mountains
and the Shenandoah Valley...
253
00:18:06,018 --> 00:18:08,121
were their hunting grounds.
254
00:18:08,188 --> 00:18:10,323
Where do they live now?
255
00:18:14,494 --> 00:18:17,397
I think the Shawnees
are in Oklahoma.
256
00:18:17,464 --> 00:18:20,567
The radio says all are moving
from Oklahoma to California.
257
00:18:20,633 --> 00:18:24,271
Not the Indians.
They stay on reservations.
258
00:18:24,337 --> 00:18:25,538
Hey, fellas.
259
00:18:25,605 --> 00:18:27,574
Fellas, I got me one.
Look at this.
260
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,108
-Did you?
-Yeah, look at this.
261
00:18:29,176 --> 00:18:32,579
-Good.
-Look at this right here.
262
00:18:32,645 --> 00:18:34,847
Hey.
263
00:18:37,049 --> 00:18:39,386
You government people?
264
00:18:39,452 --> 00:18:41,921
Shucks, no. We're up here
visiting Martha Corinne Walton.
265
00:18:41,988 --> 00:18:42,855
We're kin of hers.
266
00:18:42,922 --> 00:18:44,957
What you been trapping?
267
00:18:45,024 --> 00:18:46,926
You here to move her out?
268
00:18:46,993 --> 00:18:49,696
Well, we don't know yet.
269
00:18:49,762 --> 00:18:52,832
-What you got in the sack?
-Possum.
270
00:18:52,899 --> 00:18:54,267
You running away?
271
00:18:54,334 --> 00:18:56,203
Highway cleared us
out of our old house.
272
00:18:56,269 --> 00:18:57,604
Now Papa keeps moving
273
00:18:57,670 --> 00:18:59,806
looking for a house somebody
moved out from.
274
00:18:59,872 --> 00:19:01,541
Found one yesterday.
275
00:19:01,608 --> 00:19:03,610
-Two mile yonder--
-Ain't supposed to tell where.
276
00:19:24,231 --> 00:19:26,165
Maybe the shooting started
already.
277
00:19:26,233 --> 00:19:29,469
I don't think so. There's some.
278
00:19:29,536 --> 00:19:32,339
I sure hope John-Boy or Daddy
don't get shot.
279
00:19:32,405 --> 00:19:34,073
What about Grandpa?
280
00:19:34,140 --> 00:19:35,508
Grandpa says he's
getting so tough
281
00:19:35,575 --> 00:19:38,345
that bullets won't go
through him.
282
00:19:38,411 --> 00:19:40,413
I think he's pulling your leg,
Elizabeth.
283
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,816
I wish he wouldn't do that.
284
00:19:43,883 --> 00:19:47,987
Mary Ellen, look.
285
00:19:48,054 --> 00:19:50,457
Well, keep still and maybe
they won't see us.
286
00:19:50,523 --> 00:19:55,828
-Maybe who won't see us?
-Them.
287
00:19:55,895 --> 00:19:57,830
Oh, come on, Elizabeth.
288
00:20:00,233 --> 00:20:03,470
Climb up in the tree. Get her.
289
00:20:03,536 --> 00:20:05,472
Here. Elizabeth,
give me your hand.
290
00:20:14,247 --> 00:20:15,748
Ugly pigs. Go away!
291
00:20:15,815 --> 00:20:18,050
Mary Ellen,
what are we gonna do?
292
00:20:18,117 --> 00:20:20,853
Help!
293
00:20:24,357 --> 00:20:25,992
I don't think it's gonna work.
294
00:20:26,058 --> 00:20:28,495
I don't want to stay here
for the rest of my life.
295
00:20:28,561 --> 00:20:32,865
-I want to go home.
-I wish we'd never left home.
296
00:20:32,932 --> 00:20:35,935
We ask no more than
to raise our animals...
297
00:20:36,002 --> 00:20:38,971
grow our crops
and be left to ourselves.
298
00:20:39,038 --> 00:20:41,608
Now, the time for asking
is past.
299
00:20:41,674 --> 00:20:44,277
I never said I disagree with
what you feel, Martha Corinne.
300
00:20:44,344 --> 00:20:45,745
It's just...
301
00:20:45,812 --> 00:20:47,980
Maybe there's a more
reasonable way to help.
302
00:20:48,047 --> 00:20:50,750
You mean, short of
a shooting war, huh?
303
00:20:50,817 --> 00:20:53,820
All I'm just saying there could
be a middle road.
304
00:20:53,886 --> 00:20:55,988
Could be that your
middle-road thinking...
305
00:20:56,055 --> 00:20:59,426
comes from your spending too
much time living close to town
306
00:20:59,492 --> 00:21:03,162
and using your
indoor water and electricity.
307
00:21:03,229 --> 00:21:05,332
That may be, I grant you.
308
00:21:05,398 --> 00:21:10,002
You know, if you do have to
move, then....
309
00:21:10,069 --> 00:21:15,141
If maybe you do have to move,
I'm sure that...
310
00:21:15,207 --> 00:21:17,510
Daddy and Grandpa would be
more than pleased...
311
00:21:17,577 --> 00:21:20,079
to have you come and share
our mountain with us.
312
00:21:20,146 --> 00:21:21,748
Young man...
313
00:21:21,814 --> 00:21:26,719
you wasn't invited here to give
out with moving day advice.
314
00:21:26,786 --> 00:21:30,256
Boy's just making
a suggestion, Boone.
315
00:21:30,323 --> 00:21:31,824
The truth is, Martha Corrine...
316
00:21:31,891 --> 00:21:35,194
you can have all our land you
need to clear for your garden...
317
00:21:35,261 --> 00:21:36,629
raise your hogs and chickens.
318
00:21:36,696 --> 00:21:39,065
There's plentiful game up there.
319
00:21:39,131 --> 00:21:41,701
There's best hunting in
the world up there year around.
320
00:21:41,768 --> 00:21:45,438
Best fishing this side of
Blue Rock Creek.
321
00:21:45,505 --> 00:21:50,209
What do you say, Boone?
Martha Corinne?
322
00:21:50,276 --> 00:21:54,581
Boone and me appreciate
what you're saying, John-Boy...
323
00:21:54,647 --> 00:21:58,050
but that's your land.
324
00:21:58,117 --> 00:21:59,852
And this is ours.
325
00:22:03,289 --> 00:22:04,891
Yes, ma'am.
326
00:22:14,901 --> 00:22:16,569
Well, I'm not gonna
stay up here forever.
327
00:22:16,636 --> 00:22:18,070
Mary Ellen, don't.
328
00:22:18,137 --> 00:22:20,373
Mary Ellen, don't get down
there. You'll be bitten.
329
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,575
Don't worry.
330
00:22:39,759 --> 00:22:43,463
Help!
331
00:22:43,530 --> 00:22:48,000
-Help!
-Mary Ellen?
332
00:22:48,067 --> 00:22:52,038
-Help!
-Come on, fellas, let's go.
333
00:22:59,979 --> 00:23:02,348
Jason, help!
334
00:23:02,415 --> 00:23:05,685
-Jason!
-Jason, we're over here.
335
00:23:05,752 --> 00:23:09,922
Come on, Jason. Hurry.
336
00:23:09,989 --> 00:23:12,224
Oh, no.
337
00:23:12,291 --> 00:23:14,894
-Let's go.
-Come on.
338
00:23:14,961 --> 00:23:18,765
-Don't get so close, Jason!
-Don't worry about it.
339
00:23:18,831 --> 00:23:21,701
-Come on, you pigs.
-Get outta here.
340
00:23:21,768 --> 00:23:24,103
-Get out of here.
-Move.
341
00:23:24,170 --> 00:23:29,341
Get out of here, you pigs.
Come on, go. Go!
342
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:32,579
You can come down now,
scaredy cats.
343
00:23:32,645 --> 00:23:34,614
Oh, shut up, Ben.
344
00:23:34,681 --> 00:23:36,616
Real man-eaters, huh, Erin?
345
00:23:36,683 --> 00:23:39,185
I've heard of people
being tree'd by a bear before...
346
00:23:39,251 --> 00:23:42,321
but this is the first time
I saw anybody tree'd by a pig.
347
00:23:42,388 --> 00:23:44,891
But you weren't here when they
were slobbering and grunting.
348
00:23:44,957 --> 00:23:46,726
You didn't see that one
attack me.
349
00:23:46,793 --> 00:23:48,628
Scared by a grunt, huh?
350
00:23:48,695 --> 00:23:50,597
Soohee, pig, pig, pig.
351
00:23:50,663 --> 00:23:54,133
Come on, you pig.
352
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,768
I think we should've left them
up there.
353
00:23:55,835 --> 00:23:58,204
-Who's going to give it to him?
-Me.
354
00:23:58,270 --> 00:24:01,007
Oh no, you don't. I'm going
to give you a spanking.
355
00:24:16,055 --> 00:24:19,458
Lucas Avery.
356
00:24:19,526 --> 00:24:22,361
Old Lucas? State senator?
357
00:24:22,428 --> 00:24:25,031
It's him, alright.
358
00:24:27,634 --> 00:24:30,737
-Martha Corinne.
-Where have you been?
359
00:24:30,803 --> 00:24:34,073
Well, I just had to make one
more try.
360
00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:36,408
But I'm afraid my colleagues
in the legislature
361
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:39,145
had heard my speech before.
362
00:24:39,211 --> 00:24:43,816
Saving your land
is out of my hands.
363
00:24:43,883 --> 00:24:47,754
These here are Walton kin
from over in Jefferson County.
364
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:50,489
Well, I'm pleased to make
your acquaintances.
365
00:24:50,557 --> 00:24:52,959
You know about
the eviction notice.
366
00:24:53,025 --> 00:24:55,461
It's because of that I'm here,
Martha Corinne.
367
00:24:55,528 --> 00:24:57,764
We have to have a talk.
368
00:24:57,830 --> 00:25:01,467
Lucas, I haven't got much time
for a lot of talk.
369
00:25:01,534 --> 00:25:04,136
So I went to Blake
and asked for some time.
370
00:25:04,203 --> 00:25:07,039
He finally promised that
for the three days remaining...
371
00:25:07,106 --> 00:25:10,843
before the notice of eviction
goes into effect...
372
00:25:10,910 --> 00:25:13,479
that he'd see there was no more
blasting or building
373
00:25:13,546 --> 00:25:14,714
near your property.
374
00:25:14,781 --> 00:25:16,415
In trade for what?
375
00:25:16,482 --> 00:25:18,117
That you go and look
at the house the government
376
00:25:18,184 --> 00:25:20,920
is offering you
for moving out of here.
377
00:25:20,987 --> 00:25:24,323
Senator, suppose Martha Corrine
don't like what they show her
378
00:25:24,390 --> 00:25:29,195
down below of the land, or the
little cracker boxes on it?
379
00:25:29,261 --> 00:25:31,864
Mind you, I'm not saying she's
gonna go...
380
00:25:31,931 --> 00:25:34,901
but if she does, suppose she
doesn't like what she sees?
381
00:25:34,967 --> 00:25:37,637
Well, why not give yourselves
a chance?
382
00:25:37,704 --> 00:25:39,606
At least go look at the houses.
383
00:25:39,672 --> 00:25:41,974
You're the only family
who won't even do that.
384
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:44,844
We're agreed on staying here.
385
00:25:44,911 --> 00:25:48,881
Lucas, is this your way of
telling that you've given up...
386
00:25:48,948 --> 00:25:51,217
and gone over to the other side?
387
00:25:51,283 --> 00:25:54,253
Martha Corinne, I fought my
fight for you.
388
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,556
It wasn't too many years back
that you got whatever
389
00:25:57,624 --> 00:25:59,425
you asked for
down at the legislature.
390
00:25:59,491 --> 00:26:01,160
Yes, indeed.
391
00:26:01,227 --> 00:26:03,896
And with plenty of votes to
spare, I dare say.
392
00:26:03,963 --> 00:26:08,134
But times change and I must now
go along with the majority.
393
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,071
And with the law.
So must we all. Like it or not.
394
00:26:12,138 --> 00:26:14,473
Now the men in Richmond
and Washington...
395
00:26:14,540 --> 00:26:18,144
who create these projects,
such as the parks and highways
396
00:26:18,210 --> 00:26:21,213
are looking to help this
country's future by building it
397
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,649
out of a depression.
398
00:26:22,715 --> 00:26:25,251
And they truly and honestly
believe what they're doing...
399
00:26:25,317 --> 00:26:27,687
will better the majority of
people's lives.
400
00:26:27,754 --> 00:26:30,222
It won't better ours.
401
00:26:30,289 --> 00:26:33,159
Martha Corinne,
the majority of the people...
402
00:26:33,225 --> 00:26:34,961
does not mean
the few hundred scattered
403
00:26:35,027 --> 00:26:37,263
up and down these hillsides
and hollows.
404
00:26:37,329 --> 00:26:39,365
Are you saying
we don't count for nothing?
405
00:26:39,431 --> 00:26:43,335
No. I'm only telling you what
the government already knows.
406
00:26:43,402 --> 00:26:46,673
There's not a family here
educated or productive enough...
407
00:26:46,739 --> 00:26:49,008
to earn more than $200 a year.
408
00:26:49,075 --> 00:26:50,643
Then wouldn't it be better to
build schools
409
00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:52,178
instead of highways
410
00:26:52,244 --> 00:26:54,747
and clear the land for farming
instead of for parks?
411
00:26:54,814 --> 00:26:57,249
That is not the issue right now,
young man.
412
00:26:57,316 --> 00:26:59,351
We'd be happy to
take you on down...
413
00:26:59,418 --> 00:27:01,854
and show you the houses
being offered to you.
414
00:27:01,921 --> 00:27:03,956
You all could stay the night
with us.
415
00:27:04,023 --> 00:27:05,925
I think it's all a trick to get
us outta here.
416
00:27:05,992 --> 00:27:08,394
We come back, the whole place
will be bulldozed to the ground.
417
00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:11,430
Mr. Blake gave me his word.
He'd not send his men in...
418
00:27:11,497 --> 00:27:15,935
as long as you're giving thought
to the government housing.
419
00:27:16,002 --> 00:27:20,740
We got no reason to believe
anything he'd say.
420
00:27:20,807 --> 00:27:24,210
Lucas, do you believe
this man Blake?
421
00:27:24,276 --> 00:27:26,779
I can only tell you
what he told me.
422
00:27:26,846 --> 00:27:30,049
I went to him for you.
For your sake.
423
00:27:30,116 --> 00:27:33,285
Go. Look at the houses,
Martha Corinne.
424
00:27:33,352 --> 00:27:34,854
I beg you.
425
00:27:34,921 --> 00:27:37,724
We got our house, Mama.
426
00:27:37,790 --> 00:27:40,226
We don't need to go looking
for another one.
427
00:27:40,292 --> 00:27:43,562
That Blake has a mighty
long streak of fox in him.
428
00:27:43,629 --> 00:27:45,932
Too long to trust.
429
00:27:48,467 --> 00:27:51,103
Is that your answer?
430
00:28:03,816 --> 00:28:06,452
I'll go look at them.
431
00:28:06,518 --> 00:28:08,320
For Lucas.
432
00:28:08,387 --> 00:28:10,823
You don't have to look at no
other houses.
433
00:28:10,890 --> 00:28:13,292
I said I'd go look at them
for Lucas.
434
00:28:18,798 --> 00:28:21,300
Well, I think I'd best be going.
435
00:28:23,335 --> 00:28:26,939
Goodbye, Martha Corinne.
And thank you.
436
00:28:27,006 --> 00:28:29,208
-Goodbye.
-Thank you, Senator.
437
00:28:29,275 --> 00:28:32,344
-Goodbye, sir.
-So long, Senator.
438
00:28:32,411 --> 00:28:34,113
Goodbye.
439
00:28:41,387 --> 00:28:43,289
They're angry with me.
440
00:28:43,355 --> 00:28:44,791
More scared than angry.
441
00:28:44,857 --> 00:28:48,194
Being afraid is the most
powerful kind of anger.
442
00:29:05,011 --> 00:29:06,712
I think I'd best stay here.
443
00:29:06,779 --> 00:29:08,981
Somebody should see
what's going on.
444
00:29:09,048 --> 00:29:10,850
Old man, you'll do
no such thing.
445
00:29:10,917 --> 00:29:13,285
Take it easy, Esther.
It'll be only for a day or two.
446
00:29:13,352 --> 00:29:15,822
Henry would've done
the same for Zeb.
447
00:29:22,962 --> 00:29:24,530
Keeping busy can be comforting,
can't it?
448
00:29:29,135 --> 00:29:32,071
Always makes me feel safe.
449
00:29:32,138 --> 00:29:35,374
My life is going to keep on
going the same as always.
450
00:29:35,441 --> 00:29:38,744
It's knowing how fresh and clean
it's going to smell
451
00:29:38,811 --> 00:29:41,914
when it's dry.
452
00:29:41,981 --> 00:29:45,617
Vera, are you afraid?
453
00:29:45,684 --> 00:29:48,087
What kind of question is that?
454
00:29:48,154 --> 00:29:51,423
People do get afraid sometimes,
you know?
455
00:29:51,490 --> 00:29:52,724
Not me.
456
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:54,894
I got Wade to take care of me.
457
00:29:54,961 --> 00:29:57,096
He makes sure nothing hurts me.
458
00:30:00,299 --> 00:30:02,068
You know, in a few weeks...
459
00:30:02,134 --> 00:30:05,905
John-Boy is gonna be
going off to college...
460
00:30:05,972 --> 00:30:09,475
and in my heart I'm very afraid
of that.
461
00:30:09,541 --> 00:30:12,078
Why?
462
00:30:12,144 --> 00:30:13,479
Well...
463
00:30:13,545 --> 00:30:17,083
he's gonna become part
of a world I know nothing about.
464
00:30:17,149 --> 00:30:20,419
He's gonna meet people
who are smarter than me.
465
00:30:20,486 --> 00:30:22,855
People who have been places
and can talk about things
466
00:30:22,922 --> 00:30:25,691
I've never even dreamt of.
467
00:30:25,757 --> 00:30:29,161
And I'm afraid maybe I'll...
468
00:30:29,228 --> 00:30:32,798
seem ordinary to him.
469
00:30:32,865 --> 00:30:36,768
And then he might even be
a little bit ashamed of me.
470
00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:38,204
If that's what's going
to happen
471
00:30:38,270 --> 00:30:40,039
why are you letting him go for?
472
00:30:40,106 --> 00:30:41,573
That's foolishness.
473
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,345
I can't stop John-Boy
from going out into the world.
474
00:30:46,412 --> 00:30:49,681
And you and Wade have to be
part of that world, too.
475
00:30:49,748 --> 00:30:54,353
You mustn't be afraid to see new
things, and to learn new things.
476
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:56,989
So that you can make
a better life for yourself.
477
00:30:57,056 --> 00:30:59,791
So that your child can have some
of the good things
478
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:01,327
this world has to offer.
479
00:31:01,393 --> 00:31:05,231
My child will have a good life
right here.
480
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:09,868
You don't want any part
of the outside world
481
00:31:09,936 --> 00:31:11,737
because it frightens you.
482
00:31:11,803 --> 00:31:16,108
And that's alright.
You can admit to the fear.
483
00:31:16,175 --> 00:31:19,011
But you mustn't let it stop you.
484
00:31:19,078 --> 00:31:24,183
You mustn't let it keep you
from going ahead.
485
00:31:24,250 --> 00:31:26,052
You and Wade could be...
486
00:31:26,118 --> 00:31:27,286
new pioneers.
487
00:31:27,353 --> 00:31:29,989
That's not what
me and Wade want.
488
00:31:37,696 --> 00:31:40,099
Jim-Bob, will you quit eating
all the berries? You, too, Ben.
489
00:31:40,166 --> 00:31:41,767
They're good!
490
00:31:41,833 --> 00:31:45,104
If you eat them all, we won't
have enough to make ice cream.
491
00:31:57,283 --> 00:32:00,852
-Here we go.
-I don't want to sit inside.
492
00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:03,155
I want the air.
493
00:32:17,069 --> 00:32:18,237
John-Boy.
494
00:32:23,142 --> 00:32:25,877
-Yes, sir.
-I want you to do something.
495
00:32:25,944 --> 00:32:28,914
I want you to stay here
and keep an eye on Grandpa.
496
00:32:28,981 --> 00:32:30,482
Me?
497
00:32:30,549 --> 00:32:34,286
Yeah. Try to keep him from
getting a gun in his hands.
498
00:32:34,353 --> 00:32:36,822
You really think maybe it's
gonna come down to guns?
499
00:32:36,888 --> 00:32:38,724
His temper's up.
500
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:41,593
Try to keep him from doing
anything foolish, alright?
501
00:32:41,660 --> 00:32:43,595
Okay.
502
00:33:02,748 --> 00:33:05,217
Looks to me some of the men folk
in this family...
503
00:33:05,284 --> 00:33:09,121
are going to become
a lot better acquainted.
504
00:33:32,144 --> 00:33:33,945
I ought to charge you
time-and-a-half
505
00:33:34,012 --> 00:33:36,348
for bringing me up here
after sundown.
506
00:33:36,415 --> 00:33:38,084
You scared of them Waltons?
507
00:33:38,150 --> 00:33:41,253
They would just as soon
shoot at you as look at you.
508
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,321
Martha Corinne included.
509
00:33:42,388 --> 00:33:45,624
I've been shot at before.
510
00:33:45,691 --> 00:33:46,958
Now, don't get spooked.
511
00:33:47,025 --> 00:33:49,295
The Walton's cabin's clear
the other side of the mountain.
512
00:33:49,361 --> 00:33:50,896
They can't see us over here.
513
00:33:50,962 --> 00:33:54,066
You know, I heard something
about you promise Lucas Avery...
514
00:33:54,133 --> 00:33:55,634
you was gonna wait.
515
00:33:55,701 --> 00:33:59,505
Word sure gets around up here.
How'd you find that out?
516
00:33:59,571 --> 00:34:02,441
Everybody's cousin to everybody
else up here.
517
00:34:02,508 --> 00:34:06,545
Just who are you cousin to?
Lucas Avery or Boone Walton?
518
00:34:06,612 --> 00:34:09,081
I'm cousin to whoever's
paying me.
519
00:34:13,419 --> 00:34:16,388
-How come you can't wait anyway?
-I'm losing money.
520
00:34:16,455 --> 00:34:17,989
That's reason enough.
521
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:19,391
Yeah, well...
522
00:34:19,458 --> 00:34:21,960
don't expect me up here tomorrow
to work no plunger.
523
00:34:22,027 --> 00:34:25,764
I understand they got kin up
there from Jefferson County.
524
00:34:25,831 --> 00:34:28,867
Yeah, well, I got
a United States Marshal with me.
525
00:34:28,934 --> 00:34:31,703
And that's just a whole lot
better than kin.
526
00:34:48,587 --> 00:34:52,391
-Let me try. Can I hold it?
-Okay, be sure to keep stirring.
527
00:34:54,059 --> 00:34:55,261
Here.
528
00:35:00,432 --> 00:35:03,469
Okay, mix it up good.
529
00:35:16,448 --> 00:35:18,016
We should get a cloth.
Somebody get a cloth.
530
00:35:18,083 --> 00:35:19,084
Is it spilling?
531
00:35:19,151 --> 00:35:22,721
Okay, next step.
532
00:35:22,788 --> 00:35:24,623
Ice.
533
00:35:24,690 --> 00:35:27,193
-Keep your fingers out, Ben.
-Give me some more salt.
534
00:35:30,095 --> 00:35:33,299
-Let Elizabeth try now.
-She won't be able to do it.
535
00:35:36,968 --> 00:35:40,606
That's the way, honey.
536
00:35:40,672 --> 00:35:43,575
That looks good.
537
00:35:43,642 --> 00:35:46,312
Now, let's see.
Who's gonna get the first lick?
538
00:35:46,378 --> 00:35:48,046
-You?
-Me.
539
00:35:48,113 --> 00:35:52,083
No, I think we should start with
the youngest first, don't you?
540
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:55,921
Here you go, Elizabeth.
Watch out.
541
00:35:55,987 --> 00:35:58,324
Good? Careful.
542
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:00,792
How is it, Elizabeth?
543
00:36:00,859 --> 00:36:04,095
Your blackberries make the best
ice cream in the whole world.
544
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:05,831
The whole world?
545
00:36:05,897 --> 00:36:07,466
Taste and see.
546
00:36:07,533 --> 00:36:10,236
-She's not the youngest.
-I know, you are.
547
00:36:10,302 --> 00:36:13,739
-Hey, I'm not.
-It's my turn.
548
00:36:13,805 --> 00:36:15,774
-Give me a lick of that.
-Now, wait.
549
00:36:15,841 --> 00:36:18,577
Give that to your father.
Give me a lick of that.
550
00:36:18,644 --> 00:36:22,314
Let the children go first.
551
00:36:22,381 --> 00:36:25,150
-Anybody want some?
-I do.
552
00:36:25,217 --> 00:36:26,785
You can't have it.
553
00:36:44,970 --> 00:36:46,905
It's a nice fire.
554
00:37:00,252 --> 00:37:03,989
You married?
555
00:37:04,055 --> 00:37:07,659
Me? Married? No, I'm only 18.
556
00:37:07,726 --> 00:37:09,928
I'm 19.
557
00:37:09,995 --> 00:37:11,263
Well....
558
00:37:18,904 --> 00:37:21,473
How'd you get in the Navy,
being so young?
559
00:37:21,540 --> 00:37:26,077
I lied to them. I lied to them
about how old I was.
560
00:37:26,144 --> 00:37:31,683
I wager you've seen
a good deal of the world.
561
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:33,352
Right smart.
562
00:37:38,524 --> 00:37:40,459
Better put in some more wood.
563
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,497
These are wonderful.
Who did these?
564
00:38:18,564 --> 00:38:20,832
-Wade.
-Really?
565
00:38:20,899 --> 00:38:24,169
Yeah.
566
00:38:24,235 --> 00:38:28,440
He carved this old lady
in Japan.
567
00:38:28,507 --> 00:38:31,943
And this rooster's
a toy he's making for the baby.
568
00:38:33,845 --> 00:38:38,049
And this is the aircraft carrier
he served on.
569
00:38:38,116 --> 00:38:40,686
Saratoga.
570
00:38:40,752 --> 00:38:43,755
-He's still working on it.
-Who's this?
571
00:38:43,822 --> 00:38:50,328
He carved this fine lady from
a picture he saw in a magazine.
572
00:38:50,396 --> 00:38:53,399
And that over there is Boone.
573
00:38:53,465 --> 00:38:57,068
Yeah?
574
00:38:57,135 --> 00:39:01,339
He doesn't look any too happy
to be behind that plow, does he?
575
00:39:01,407 --> 00:39:05,010
He's more for hunting
and fishing...
576
00:39:05,076 --> 00:39:06,878
make his own whiskey.
577
00:39:10,482 --> 00:39:14,520
Here, I'll get that.
Those are beautiful.
578
00:39:14,586 --> 00:39:16,888
We all have something
we do best at.
579
00:39:26,998 --> 00:39:31,369
I'm cutting wood in the morning.
You want to come with me?
580
00:39:31,437 --> 00:39:36,107
Sure, anything I can do to help.
581
00:39:36,174 --> 00:39:40,812
I met Henry Walton at the mill
where my daddy worked...
582
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:45,651
down on the James,
just there above Scottsville.
583
00:39:45,717 --> 00:39:49,354
He was your grandfather's
oldest brother.
584
00:39:49,421 --> 00:39:52,624
He was 11 and I was 10.
585
00:39:52,691 --> 00:39:56,027
He and his daddy had come down
to sell their corn.
586
00:39:56,094 --> 00:39:58,063
Didn't Uncle Henry fight
with Stonewall Jackson?
587
00:39:58,129 --> 00:40:01,700
He was one of the generals
that Henry fought for.
588
00:40:01,767 --> 00:40:04,102
Jason, why don't you get that
picture of Uncle Henry
589
00:40:04,169 --> 00:40:08,540
-show Aunt Martha Corinne?
-Oh, sure.
590
00:40:08,607 --> 00:40:10,341
I'd rather hear about
the spinning wheel.
591
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:11,610
Me, too.
592
00:40:11,677 --> 00:40:14,212
The spinning wheel.
593
00:40:14,279 --> 00:40:18,617
Well, it came to me from my
mother for a wedding present.
594
00:40:18,684 --> 00:40:21,419
Come to the house
and I'll show you how it works.
595
00:40:21,487 --> 00:40:23,054
-Can we, Mama?
-Please?
596
00:40:23,121 --> 00:40:26,191
I'd love to see you girls
spin wool.
597
00:40:26,257 --> 00:40:28,660
Here he is.
598
00:40:28,727 --> 00:40:32,063
Tell us about Uncle Henry
fighting in the war.
599
00:40:32,130 --> 00:40:35,166
Well...
600
00:40:35,233 --> 00:40:37,603
I was 15...
601
00:40:37,669 --> 00:40:41,206
and Henry was 16
when we were married...
602
00:40:41,272 --> 00:40:43,742
and he went down to the mill...
603
00:40:43,809 --> 00:40:47,679
to work with my father
on the James for a while.
604
00:40:47,746 --> 00:40:50,148
And then the war broke out.
605
00:40:50,215 --> 00:40:54,853
And he chose to join up
with Stonewall Jackson.
606
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,691
But after Stonewall Jackson was
killed at Chancellorsville...
607
00:40:59,758 --> 00:41:03,361
he got his orders to join up
with another general by the name
608
00:41:03,428 --> 00:41:09,167
of...Jubal. Jubal Early.
609
00:41:09,234 --> 00:41:13,071
Well, it was about
two years later...
610
00:41:13,138 --> 00:41:17,242
one fall night...
611
00:41:17,308 --> 00:41:21,379
a soft rain was falling...
612
00:41:21,446 --> 00:41:25,250
a rooftop lullaby, I call it...
613
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:27,886
and Henry came home.
614
00:41:27,953 --> 00:41:32,858
We had heard how General Custer
was hanging the Confederates...
615
00:41:32,924 --> 00:41:37,996
so I'd about given up any hope
of ever seeing Henry again.
616
00:41:38,063 --> 00:41:42,701
But he was home
and I was gloriously happy.
617
00:41:44,502 --> 00:41:46,938
We came up to the mountains...
618
00:41:47,005 --> 00:41:49,875
and we placed our
boundary stones...
619
00:41:49,941 --> 00:41:54,112
and together we built our home.
620
00:41:54,179 --> 00:41:56,682
Boone was born to us...
621
00:41:56,748 --> 00:42:00,518
and a boy named for his father.
622
00:42:00,586 --> 00:42:05,857
He died in infancy.
623
00:42:05,924 --> 00:42:10,596
Well, I ploughed
and I planted...
624
00:42:10,662 --> 00:42:14,032
and I chopped my share
of firewood...
625
00:42:14,099 --> 00:42:16,702
and when time came for
hog-butchering
626
00:42:16,768 --> 00:42:19,537
I was there, too.
627
00:42:19,605 --> 00:42:26,011
We all shared in the work
of our land.
628
00:42:26,077 --> 00:42:28,146
Until...
629
00:42:28,213 --> 00:42:32,250
that road builder came
and brought his park
630
00:42:32,317 --> 00:42:34,720
to my doorstep...
631
00:42:34,786 --> 00:42:40,425
my family had always known
a peacefulness.
632
00:42:40,491 --> 00:42:44,095
Well, I couldn't want it
anywhere else.
633
00:42:50,435 --> 00:42:53,138
Well, if you'll excuse me...
634
00:42:53,204 --> 00:42:56,908
I promised myself that
I'd be fresh in the morning...
635
00:42:56,975 --> 00:43:00,278
when I go to look
at new property...
636
00:43:00,345 --> 00:43:04,449
for the first time since 1865.
637
00:43:04,515 --> 00:43:06,885
Thank you for talking to us.
638
00:43:06,952 --> 00:43:10,989
Thank you for a taste of
the best ice cream in the world.
639
00:43:11,056 --> 00:43:13,324
-I'll walk you upstairs.
-Goodnight.
640
00:43:13,391 --> 00:43:14,826
Goodnight.
641
00:43:14,893 --> 00:43:18,630
I'll be ready to go
first thing in the morning.
642
00:43:44,923 --> 00:43:48,093
Ready to go, Zeb?
643
00:43:48,159 --> 00:43:49,828
Morning, Boone.
644
00:43:49,895 --> 00:43:52,063
Hey, what are we using for bait?
645
00:43:52,130 --> 00:43:54,499
All I had to do was turn one
shovel full of dirt
646
00:43:54,565 --> 00:43:55,801
behind that pig pen...
647
00:43:55,867 --> 00:43:58,403
and I got enough worms
for two days of fishing.
648
00:43:58,469 --> 00:44:01,940
Good. I'm counting on
a mess of fish for supper.
649
00:44:02,007 --> 00:44:03,474
You gonna get them.
650
00:44:03,541 --> 00:44:07,245
I think it's been too long since
you been up here to fish.
651
00:44:07,312 --> 00:44:10,215
Maybe you forgot what good
fishing there is down there at
652
00:44:10,281 --> 00:44:11,717
Blue Rock Creek.
653
00:44:18,323 --> 00:44:21,893
Wade, did you notice if they
took any guns with them?
654
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,229
Not that I know of.
655
00:44:24,295 --> 00:44:26,364
What are you mother-henning
that old man for?
656
00:44:26,431 --> 00:44:29,500
You been watching him
like a chicken hawk.
657
00:44:29,567 --> 00:44:32,804
Who, me? No, I'm just looking
out for him, is all.
658
00:44:32,871 --> 00:44:34,873
Here, let me help you with that.
659
00:44:38,977 --> 00:44:42,313
I fixed you bread and honey
sandwiches and filled your jar.
660
00:44:42,380 --> 00:44:44,015
Thank you.
661
00:44:44,082 --> 00:44:45,350
Vera...
662
00:44:45,416 --> 00:44:49,554
Blake or any of his men come
around, you come get me.
663
00:44:49,620 --> 00:44:53,524
I heard some blasting earlier
as I was out collecting eggs...
664
00:44:53,591 --> 00:44:56,094
but it was far away to the west.
665
00:45:06,204 --> 00:45:09,240
Now you make sure those two old
men clean their own fish
666
00:45:09,307 --> 00:45:11,977
when they get home.
667
00:45:12,043 --> 00:45:15,713
Don't let Grandpa Boone talk you
into doing his work for him.
668
00:45:36,734 --> 00:45:39,971
The wood you'll be cutting today
be for our baby's cradle.
669
00:45:49,314 --> 00:45:52,150
Jason, I'm leaving you in charge
here.
670
00:45:52,217 --> 00:45:54,419
Keep an eye on these children.
671
00:45:54,485 --> 00:45:56,487
Yes, sir. You all hear that,
everybody?
672
00:45:56,554 --> 00:46:00,258
-Sure, we heard.
-Don't worry. We'll be good.
673
00:46:00,325 --> 00:46:02,627
I'm not sure we ought to
leave those children alone.
674
00:46:02,693 --> 00:46:05,330
Now, Livie Willy,
you hover over this brood...
675
00:46:05,396 --> 00:46:07,866
how they ever gonna learn
any sense of responsibility?
676
00:46:07,933 --> 00:46:09,234
We're gonna be gone most
of the day, I expect.
677
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:11,937
So you all be on your
best behavior.
678
00:46:15,706 --> 00:46:17,775
Bye-bye!
679
00:46:21,712 --> 00:46:23,114
-Bye!
-Goodbye!
680
00:46:26,584 --> 00:46:29,520
Okay, get in the house
and get those rooms cleaned up.
681
00:46:29,587 --> 00:46:30,922
-What?
-Why now?
682
00:46:30,989 --> 00:46:32,924
Listen, I'm the daddy around
here. Go!
683
00:46:32,991 --> 00:46:35,560
Ben, you help me dig the weeds,
come on now.
684
00:46:35,626 --> 00:46:39,197
-I'd rather clean my room.
-Come on, I'll race you there.
685
00:46:47,538 --> 00:46:53,912
It is all mighty peaceful up
here at Blue Rock Creek.
686
00:46:53,979 --> 00:46:56,614
Yeah, but not for long.
687
00:46:56,681 --> 00:46:58,716
Not once that dam goes up.
688
00:46:58,783 --> 00:47:01,286
That does grieve me, however
689
00:47:01,352 --> 00:47:02,954
to think they didn't have
a dam up here...
690
00:47:03,021 --> 00:47:05,756
before that last big flood your
own boy's house
691
00:47:05,823 --> 00:47:08,960
floated downriver.
692
00:47:09,027 --> 00:47:11,529
That dam ain't
gonna help nobody.
693
00:47:11,596 --> 00:47:14,799
'Cause there ain't gonna
be nobody living here.
694
00:47:14,866 --> 00:47:16,367
Trouble with us, Boone, is...
695
00:47:16,434 --> 00:47:20,005
we've spent half of our lives
in the last century.
696
00:47:30,848 --> 00:47:34,152
I sure missed you, Zeb.
697
00:47:34,219 --> 00:47:37,088
We don't hunt and fish
like we used to no more.
698
00:47:37,155 --> 00:47:39,891
No, I haven't been here as much
as I'd like to...
699
00:47:39,958 --> 00:47:41,559
what with these hard times.
700
00:47:41,626 --> 00:47:45,363
About the only thing I know up
here is the time of day.
701
00:47:45,430 --> 00:47:48,566
No, siree, I've to keep my nose
to the grindstone...
702
00:47:48,633 --> 00:47:51,636
to help my son feed that big
family of his.
703
00:47:51,702 --> 00:47:55,040
When I wake up of a morning,
I ask myself:
704
00:47:55,106 --> 00:47:58,109
"What am I going to do today?"
705
00:47:58,176 --> 00:48:02,547
That's the glory of it, Boone,
the freedom to choose.
706
00:48:02,613 --> 00:48:04,249
Yes, sir.
707
00:48:04,315 --> 00:48:09,120
I say, "What do I want to do for
myself today?
708
00:48:09,187 --> 00:48:10,788
"Do I wanna hunt?
709
00:48:10,855 --> 00:48:12,790
"Do I wanna fish?
710
00:48:12,857 --> 00:48:15,326
"Do I wanna cut timber?
711
00:48:15,393 --> 00:48:20,465
"Or do I wanna make
a little whiskey?"
712
00:48:20,531 --> 00:48:22,700
You know, Zeb...
713
00:48:22,767 --> 00:48:27,405
I do just what pleasures
me the most.
714
00:48:27,472 --> 00:48:31,242
Now how many fellers in this
world can say that?
715
00:48:31,309 --> 00:48:36,447
Not many, Boone. In all these
days and years, not many at all.
716
00:49:42,747 --> 00:49:46,317
Wade, did you ever think of
selling those things you carve?
717
00:49:48,786 --> 00:49:52,323
-You're attesting I should?
-Well, sure.
718
00:49:52,390 --> 00:49:57,928
I think a lot of people would be
interested in buying them.
719
00:49:57,995 --> 00:50:00,665
You really think so?
720
00:50:00,731 --> 00:50:03,601
Why not? They're good.
721
00:50:03,668 --> 00:50:07,205
Sure hope people start
buying my stuff.
722
00:50:07,272 --> 00:50:10,075
What do you make?
723
00:50:10,141 --> 00:50:13,644
I'm a writer.
724
00:50:13,711 --> 00:50:15,913
What do you write?
725
00:50:15,980 --> 00:50:20,085
Stories, mostly about
the family.
726
00:50:20,151 --> 00:50:25,590
What made you be a writer?
727
00:50:25,656 --> 00:50:31,362
Well, what made you start
carving those figures?
728
00:50:31,429 --> 00:50:34,732
Martha Corinne says it's
in the blood.
729
00:50:34,799 --> 00:50:38,336
Says our people have
always had a streak
730
00:50:38,403 --> 00:50:40,205
and that's what makes us good...
731
00:50:40,271 --> 00:50:45,976
at playing the fiddle,
making a picture, carving wood.
732
00:50:46,043 --> 00:50:50,181
It's in the blood.
733
00:50:50,248 --> 00:50:51,716
That's really something to think
about, isn't it?
734
00:50:51,782 --> 00:50:53,584
You and me with the same blood.
735
00:50:53,651 --> 00:50:58,523
In you, it makes a wood carver.
In me, it makes a writer.
736
00:50:58,589 --> 00:51:02,793
It's like a tree. Same sap
flowing into different branches.
737
00:51:05,263 --> 00:51:07,398
That's a writer for you.
738
00:51:13,138 --> 00:51:15,673
Wade, when you went out
to join the Navy...
739
00:51:15,740 --> 00:51:18,409
did you always know
you'd be coming back here?
740
00:51:21,479 --> 00:51:24,815
First, I had to see the other
man's world.
741
00:51:24,882 --> 00:51:27,718
His countries and his cities.
742
00:51:32,957 --> 00:51:35,293
This is my country.
743
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,397
And it won't be long before
I build my own home to prove it.
744
00:51:43,234 --> 00:51:44,735
Henry David Thoreau says,
745
00:51:44,802 --> 00:51:47,805
"It's as fitting a thing
for a man to build his home...
746
00:51:47,872 --> 00:51:51,742
"as it is for a bird to build
its own nest."
747
00:51:51,809 --> 00:51:55,446
If you'd like, after we finish
up here, I'll take you there.
748
00:51:55,513 --> 00:51:58,749
-Show you what I mean.
-Sure, I'd like that.
749
00:53:08,253 --> 00:53:11,155
This morning when I woke up...
750
00:53:11,222 --> 00:53:15,860
I had this feeling like it might
be the last time I ever said
751
00:53:15,926 --> 00:53:19,730
"What am I gonna do today?"
752
00:53:19,797 --> 00:53:23,701
Looks like Mr. Blake's done
prove that feeling out for me.
753
00:53:23,768 --> 00:53:27,004
Only thing in his favor,
is he stayed on
754
00:53:27,071 --> 00:53:31,376
that side of the creek, and he
went back the way he come.
755
00:53:31,442 --> 00:53:36,581
He's just scouting
the territory.
756
00:53:36,647 --> 00:53:39,484
Now he knows the way
he's coming back.
757
00:53:50,495 --> 00:53:52,797
And these spigots,
they can give you hot water...
758
00:53:52,863 --> 00:53:55,566
or cold water, any amount you
want.
759
00:53:59,136 --> 00:54:02,640
That's hot, alright.
760
00:54:02,707 --> 00:54:05,876
And the bathtub,
that does the same thing...
761
00:54:05,943 --> 00:54:08,679
and you can have the easiest
bath that you ever had.
762
00:54:08,746 --> 00:54:10,415
And you can have them
as often as you want.
763
00:54:10,481 --> 00:54:12,483
Remember the day
we got our first bathtub?
764
00:54:12,550 --> 00:54:15,820
I sure do. Forgot those Saturday
night baths quick enough.
765
00:54:15,886 --> 00:54:17,755
We still got that
galvanized tub?
766
00:54:17,822 --> 00:54:21,225
Yeah, it's in
the cellar somewhere.
767
00:54:21,292 --> 00:54:25,396
Oh, my. Got to watch out
for that.
768
00:54:25,463 --> 00:54:31,636
That's bad luck to look
in a mirror at night.
769
00:54:31,702 --> 00:54:33,938
Well, I tell you that getting
our first bathtub
770
00:54:34,004 --> 00:54:37,074
was more exciting to me
than getting our first truck.
771
00:54:37,141 --> 00:54:41,312
In the summertime,
Boone always takes his soap...
772
00:54:41,379 --> 00:54:44,148
and bathes down
in Blue Rock Creek
773
00:54:44,214 --> 00:54:47,485
the same Henry and I always did.
774
00:54:47,552 --> 00:54:50,755
Electric light.
There's the switch. You turn it.
775
00:55:17,147 --> 00:55:18,949
It's a nice, big house.
776
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:26,323
They didn't waste much time
building it, either.
777
00:55:26,391 --> 00:55:30,094
Let's take a look
at the kitchen.
778
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,564
Look at that. Green linoleum.
779
00:55:33,631 --> 00:55:35,433
And it's brand new.
780
00:55:35,500 --> 00:55:40,371
-Linoleum?
-It's to protect the floor.
781
00:55:40,438 --> 00:55:42,873
Wish I had some new linoleum
in my house.
782
00:55:42,940 --> 00:55:49,647
I always feel suffocated when I
get down here in the flatlands.
783
00:55:49,714 --> 00:55:54,251
Lungs just won't take
the air down here.
784
00:55:54,318 --> 00:55:57,087
Should be about 20 acres.
785
00:55:57,154 --> 00:55:58,523
Flat.
786
00:55:58,589 --> 00:56:01,826
I'd say half of it was cleared.
787
00:56:01,892 --> 00:56:06,731
Henry always told me
when we came to the mountains...
788
00:56:08,766 --> 00:56:12,603
you live with your land...
789
00:56:12,670 --> 00:56:16,574
and you die with your land.
790
00:56:40,364 --> 00:56:42,132
I'm building our house here.
791
00:56:44,435 --> 00:56:46,537
That is beautiful.
792
00:56:53,310 --> 00:56:56,380
Build a home, raise kids...
793
00:56:56,447 --> 00:57:00,518
be in love with your woman.
794
00:57:00,585 --> 00:57:01,986
Let me show you
where everything's gonna go.
795
00:57:02,052 --> 00:57:03,954
Okay.
796
00:57:04,021 --> 00:57:06,791
Chimney and the fireplace go
right here.
797
00:57:09,494 --> 00:57:13,631
Bedroom's right here.
798
00:57:13,698 --> 00:57:16,333
And the parlor is gonna go
right here.
799
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,002
What's over here?
800
00:57:18,068 --> 00:57:20,605
You're standing
in Vera's kitchen.
801
00:57:20,671 --> 00:57:23,307
Salvaged my mama's old Eagle
stove from the flood.
802
00:57:23,373 --> 00:57:26,711
The fanciest and best of cooking
stoves, for its day and time.
803
00:57:26,777 --> 00:57:30,715
If you turn around,
and go to your right...
804
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:35,085
you'll be standing in my
workshop.
805
00:57:35,152 --> 00:57:39,223
What a place for
an artist to work!
806
00:57:39,289 --> 00:57:42,426
Artist?
807
00:57:42,493 --> 00:57:44,862
Look here, John-Boy.
808
00:57:44,929 --> 00:57:47,632
From here, to this sapling...
809
00:57:47,698 --> 00:57:48,966
is where one mountain boy breaks
810
00:57:49,033 --> 00:57:51,201
with a long tradition
of outhouses.
811
00:57:51,268 --> 00:57:52,903
Indoor plumbing?
812
00:57:52,970 --> 00:57:55,773
With a bathtub, and a sink,
and a toilet.
813
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:57,842
I saved enough money
from the Navy
814
00:57:57,908 --> 00:58:00,144
to buy the pipes and the
fixtures and I'm gonna plumb.
815
00:58:00,210 --> 00:58:02,012
I'll do that myself.
816
00:58:02,079 --> 00:58:07,384
People work all their lives
to build their dream house.
817
00:58:07,451 --> 00:58:10,921
You think that's all it boils
down to, don't you?
818
00:58:10,988 --> 00:58:14,525
-A dream.
-I'd hate to think that.
819
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,864
Maybe if writers and wood
carvers ran this country...
820
00:58:19,930 --> 00:58:23,668
instead of lawyers and
politicians, we'd be better off.
821
00:58:23,734 --> 00:58:26,070
Well, amen to that.
822
00:58:28,739 --> 00:58:31,642
I'll thin out the trees in this
direction
823
00:58:31,709 --> 00:58:33,678
so as we can sit on the porch...
824
00:58:33,744 --> 00:58:37,014
and see clear
to the Shenandoah Valley.
825
00:58:37,081 --> 00:58:38,683
Wade!
826
00:58:42,452 --> 00:58:44,221
Something's wrong.
827
00:58:48,893 --> 00:58:51,896
Blake's got bulldozers at Blue
Rock Creek pointed this way.
828
00:58:51,962 --> 00:58:53,698
Does it look like
they're moving in?
829
00:58:53,764 --> 00:58:56,266
I don't think they're coming up
here to go fishing.
830
00:58:56,333 --> 00:58:59,069
If they got one this far,
the others ain't far behind.
831
00:58:59,136 --> 00:59:01,939
So, it was a trick.
832
00:59:02,006 --> 00:59:04,208
-You need more proof now?
-We've been lied to.
833
00:59:04,274 --> 00:59:07,712
That's right. We're wasting time
here, so let's get.
834
00:59:12,316 --> 00:59:15,152
You think it's gonna come
to shooting, Grandpa?
835
00:59:15,219 --> 00:59:17,121
More than likely.
836
00:59:17,187 --> 00:59:21,191
I swear, I feel like the clock's
been turned back 100 years.
837
00:59:21,258 --> 00:59:24,662
It's like stories I've heard
about feuds and grudge fights...
838
00:59:24,729 --> 00:59:26,430
and warring mountain clans.
839
00:59:26,496 --> 00:59:29,433
I'm gonna be starting college
soon and here I am in the hills
840
00:59:29,499 --> 00:59:31,802
and somebody's ready to push
a rifle into my hands.
841
00:59:31,869 --> 00:59:33,871
John-Boy, you follow
that gully on down...
842
00:59:33,938 --> 00:59:35,806
till you hear the splashing
of Blue Rock Creek.
843
00:59:35,873 --> 00:59:38,943
You go on down till you smell
the gas from the main highway...
844
00:59:39,009 --> 00:59:41,245
and thumb your way on
back to Walton Mountain.
845
00:59:41,311 --> 00:59:43,180
-I can't do that, Grandpa.
-Why not?
846
00:59:43,247 --> 00:59:44,815
I'm not gonna leave you
up here alone.
847
00:59:44,882 --> 00:59:47,217
Besides, I've gotta figure
this out in my mind.
848
00:59:47,284 --> 00:59:49,987
Just what would you do
if this was your home?
849
00:59:50,054 --> 00:59:52,089
I don't know. Maybe I could
understand it then.
850
00:59:52,156 --> 00:59:54,458
There's no difference.
Same place, Walton land.
851
00:59:54,524 --> 00:59:56,761
This is fought-for land.
852
00:59:56,827 --> 00:59:59,196
Walton blood has
been staining this ground...
853
00:59:59,263 --> 01:00:02,332
and Walton sweat has cleared
and cultivated this land.
854
01:00:02,399 --> 01:00:06,170
And we owe a debt to those
Waltons buried on the hill.
855
01:00:06,236 --> 01:00:08,305
My brother Henry
is buried up there.
856
01:00:08,372 --> 01:00:11,375
And his widow Martha Corinne is
likely to go there pretty soon
857
01:00:11,441 --> 01:00:13,944
if they try to take this place
away from her.
858
01:00:14,011 --> 01:00:16,180
It's blood that joins us,
John-Boy.
859
01:00:16,246 --> 01:00:18,949
You and me, and your daddy,
and Boone.
860
01:00:19,016 --> 01:00:21,618
I know, that's true.
I felt it with Wade.
861
01:00:21,686 --> 01:00:23,954
I think maybe
what you got to do...
862
01:00:24,021 --> 01:00:27,391
figure out just how much
of a Walton you are.
863
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:52,817
Wade.
864
01:00:52,883 --> 01:00:54,318
Your daddy at home?
865
01:00:54,384 --> 01:00:57,121
He took Martha Corinne up
to look at some houses.
866
01:00:57,187 --> 01:01:00,725
They ought to be back right
soon, though.
867
01:01:00,791 --> 01:01:03,894
-I'll wait.
-Alright.
868
01:01:14,338 --> 01:01:16,673
To give up my home...
869
01:01:16,741 --> 01:01:20,711
would be giving up
a good part of myself.
870
01:01:23,714 --> 01:01:27,384
I know how you're feeling.
871
01:01:27,451 --> 01:01:32,056
We faced the same when they made
us an offer for the mountain.
872
01:01:32,122 --> 01:01:34,959
No, it wasn't
the same, Esther...
873
01:01:35,025 --> 01:01:39,429
because you had a choice
of accepting or not.
874
01:01:39,496 --> 01:01:45,469
You're right. I guess I was
just looking to comfort you.
875
01:01:45,535 --> 01:01:49,573
Moving away doesn't mean that
you have to stop caring...
876
01:01:49,639 --> 01:01:53,210
or feeling about
what your life has been.
877
01:01:53,277 --> 01:01:55,645
They can't take that
away from you.
878
01:01:55,712 --> 01:01:58,415
Wade is my great-grandson.
879
01:01:58,482 --> 01:02:01,618
And, some day, that house
and that land
880
01:02:01,685 --> 01:02:03,487
that we saw today can be his...
881
01:02:03,553 --> 01:02:05,055
and his children's.
882
01:02:05,122 --> 01:02:10,560
But Wade is counting on building
his own home in the mountains.
883
01:02:10,627 --> 01:02:15,299
And Boone, well,
he's a proud, stubborn man...
884
01:02:15,365 --> 01:02:18,635
but he's got a right to be
selfish about
885
01:02:18,702 --> 01:02:21,405
the life he's lived and known.
886
01:02:21,471 --> 01:02:23,307
And you?
887
01:02:23,373 --> 01:02:27,377
I don't like a house
that's built by strangers.
888
01:02:33,017 --> 01:02:38,122
It don't mean that
it couldn't be fixed up...
889
01:02:38,188 --> 01:02:41,658
and made right livable...
890
01:02:41,725 --> 01:02:43,928
into a home.
891
01:03:08,718 --> 01:03:11,455
He could at least tell us
what this is all about.
892
01:03:19,563 --> 01:03:25,435
-Why did you get a tattoo?
-Because I wanted one.
893
01:03:25,502 --> 01:03:28,672
Going to a tattoo parlor was
part of being in the Navy.
894
01:03:28,738 --> 01:03:30,574
For me, anyways.
895
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,377
There was a tattooed lady
in the carnival
896
01:03:33,443 --> 01:03:35,312
at Charlottesville.
897
01:03:35,379 --> 01:03:38,582
Mama wouldn't let us look,
but I peeked.
898
01:03:38,648 --> 01:03:42,052
She had snake tattoos.
899
01:03:42,119 --> 01:03:44,922
-What kind of snakes?
-Poisonous.
900
01:03:58,869 --> 01:04:02,072
Easy. Easy there.
901
01:04:02,139 --> 01:04:04,174
-Lucas double-crossed you.
-How?
902
01:04:04,241 --> 01:04:07,811
-The blasting's started.
-Blasting? How close?
903
01:04:07,878 --> 01:04:09,046
-Coming our way.
-Now, hold on.
904
01:04:09,113 --> 01:04:11,081
You all heard Lucas
give his word.
905
01:04:11,148 --> 01:04:13,450
Looks to me Lucas and Blake
had it all planned.
906
01:04:13,517 --> 01:04:15,485
They wanted you off the mountain
so they could move in.
907
01:04:15,552 --> 01:04:16,620
Let me go see Lucas.
908
01:04:16,686 --> 01:04:18,622
Any government people
come to the house?
909
01:04:18,688 --> 01:04:20,157
Not yet.
910
01:04:20,224 --> 01:04:21,892
Well...
911
01:04:21,959 --> 01:04:24,061
I'm gonna go home
where I belong.
912
01:04:24,128 --> 01:04:26,030
Mary Ellen, come help me pack.
913
01:04:26,096 --> 01:04:27,497
Yes, ma'am.
914
01:04:27,564 --> 01:04:32,302
-How do you know it's Lucas?
-I know.
915
01:04:32,369 --> 01:04:36,540
For a minute you almost had me
talked into that house.
916
01:04:36,606 --> 01:04:39,343
Now, I'm sure this thing can
best be settled with Lucas.
917
01:04:39,409 --> 01:04:41,878
Now, you go with John
to see him.
918
01:04:41,946 --> 01:04:47,017
Let me tell you all that I am no
puppet on Lucas Avery's string.
919
01:04:47,084 --> 01:04:50,887
And I dance no tune to Blake
or the government.
920
01:04:50,955 --> 01:04:53,190
You wait here, I'll go see him.
921
01:04:53,257 --> 01:04:56,393
You tell Lucas for me,
he's a liar.
922
01:06:01,491 --> 01:06:03,960
Welcome home, Martha Corinne.
923
01:06:06,963 --> 01:06:11,235
-Isn't my daddy with you?
-John Walton's leaving it to us.
924
01:06:11,301 --> 01:06:13,370
Has Blake been back?
925
01:06:13,437 --> 01:06:15,805
I reckon we'll be
seeing him soon enough.
926
01:06:15,872 --> 01:06:18,042
Come in, Martha Corinne.
Rest yourself.
927
01:06:18,108 --> 01:06:20,044
I want to hear all about it.
928
01:07:13,897 --> 01:07:16,266
-Mr. Blake?
-Who wants him?
929
01:07:16,333 --> 01:07:18,302
John Walton Junior.
930
01:07:18,368 --> 01:07:20,270
He's gone into Brightwood.
931
01:07:20,337 --> 01:07:25,375
-When do you expect him back?
-Not before morning.
932
01:07:25,442 --> 01:07:29,513
You wouldn't know what he plans
on doing, come morning?
933
01:07:29,579 --> 01:07:33,483
Blake don't tell us his plans.
934
01:07:33,550 --> 01:07:35,719
Well....
935
01:07:35,785 --> 01:07:38,422
Then would you give him
a message for me, please?
936
01:07:38,488 --> 01:07:40,557
I reckon we could do that.
937
01:07:40,624 --> 01:07:43,527
Tell him that my father
and Sen. Avery are trying...
938
01:07:43,593 --> 01:07:45,295
to work
this thing out together...
939
01:07:45,362 --> 01:07:47,864
and that we need a little bit
more time?
940
01:07:47,931 --> 01:07:51,868
-Your daddy's gone off, huh?
-He's off with the senator.
941
01:07:51,935 --> 01:07:55,172
Would you please give Mr. Blake
that message for me?
942
01:07:55,239 --> 01:07:57,674
-Yeah.
-Yeah, okay.
943
01:07:57,741 --> 01:07:59,243
Thank you.
944
01:08:13,557 --> 01:08:16,726
I just come by where you were
supposed to be standing guard.
945
01:08:16,793 --> 01:08:19,296
There's nothing but a rifle
standing up against the tree.
946
01:08:19,363 --> 01:08:21,331
-Where've you been?
-I went to see Blake.
947
01:08:21,398 --> 01:08:24,734
-You did what?
-I tried to see Blake.
948
01:08:24,801 --> 01:08:27,871
You mean you went to the enemy's
camp to see that rattlesnake?
949
01:08:27,937 --> 01:08:30,374
Grandpa, I was trying
to get us more time.
950
01:08:30,440 --> 01:08:32,409
You make it sound like
I'm a turncoat.
951
01:08:32,476 --> 01:08:34,711
Anyway, I didn't see him.
He's gone to Brightwood.
952
01:08:34,778 --> 01:08:37,013
Your rifle's still standing
there against that pine tree.
953
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:41,084
-You intend picking it up?
-Not when I don't have to.
954
01:08:41,151 --> 01:08:42,519
No.
955
01:09:25,128 --> 01:09:27,130
We'll take over now, John-Boy.
956
01:09:27,197 --> 01:09:30,734
Best thing you can do is go
downhill, get your breakfast.
957
01:09:51,187 --> 01:09:54,391
-Come to breakfast, John-Boy.
-Okay.
958
01:09:57,827 --> 01:10:00,964
-Got some hot biscuits for you.
-Thank you.
959
01:10:13,377 --> 01:10:14,944
That's fine, thank you.
960
01:10:23,953 --> 01:10:26,623
Tell me about this college
you're going to.
961
01:10:26,690 --> 01:10:30,059
Boatwright University
in Westham.
962
01:10:30,126 --> 01:10:34,163
Judging by how you spoke up
to old Lucas...
963
01:10:34,230 --> 01:10:37,567
asking why they didn't build
schools instead of highways...
964
01:10:37,634 --> 01:10:40,637
I'd say education
do right well by you.
965
01:10:40,704 --> 01:10:45,475
I hope I can do as well by it.
966
01:10:45,542 --> 01:10:48,478
I never had that kind of
schooling but...
967
01:10:48,545 --> 01:10:52,582
I find that if you keep a close
watch on the world...
968
01:10:52,649 --> 01:10:55,118
what's in it,
you can learn a lot.
969
01:10:55,184 --> 01:10:59,055
I found a lot of little worlds
in this big one.
970
01:10:59,122 --> 01:11:03,226
Little watery world
in Blue Rock Creek...
971
01:11:03,293 --> 01:11:05,261
in a quiet pool there...
972
01:11:05,329 --> 01:11:10,867
and there's worlds underground
when you turn a shovel of dirt.
973
01:11:10,934 --> 01:11:13,136
Maybe if I had books...
974
01:11:13,202 --> 01:11:18,107
I could understand more about
these little worlds.
975
01:11:18,174 --> 01:11:23,380
Maybe you'll explain when you
come back and are educated.
976
01:11:23,447 --> 01:11:25,315
I could lend my books to you if
you like.
977
01:11:25,382 --> 01:11:27,517
You can read them for yourself.
978
01:11:27,584 --> 01:11:31,287
Well, that's very kind of you.
979
01:11:31,355 --> 01:11:34,123
I'd like to start with history.
980
01:11:34,190 --> 01:11:35,559
And then one on plants.
981
01:11:35,625 --> 01:11:38,728
You think you'll be studying
much about plants?
982
01:11:38,795 --> 01:11:43,633
Well, we'll eventually get
around to it, probably.
983
01:11:43,700 --> 01:11:45,935
I vow...
984
01:11:47,371 --> 01:11:52,642
I might not die ignorant after
all. Eat your breakfast.
985
01:12:20,470 --> 01:12:24,340
I thought I'd get started
on the house.
986
01:12:49,232 --> 01:12:51,134
I got biscuits and gravy.
987
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:54,003
Warm when I left the house
but got cold coming up here.
988
01:13:00,710 --> 01:13:03,680
I've been thinking
about the furniture.
989
01:13:03,747 --> 01:13:06,115
How does black walnut
sound to you?
990
01:13:06,182 --> 01:13:08,818
You always did have your eye
on that stand of walnut...
991
01:13:08,885 --> 01:13:10,319
by your granddaddy's place.
992
01:13:10,386 --> 01:13:16,893
It's good hard wood, Vera.
Finishes up real pretty.
993
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:18,428
Got to sit down.
994
01:13:25,535 --> 01:13:27,904
The baby didn't sleep
much last night.
995
01:13:27,971 --> 01:13:33,342
Such a kicking,
I never before felt.
996
01:13:33,409 --> 01:13:35,011
Real sound sleeper today.
997
01:13:47,991 --> 01:13:51,828
How long do you think it'll be
before they try coming for us?
998
01:13:51,895 --> 01:13:54,831
No later than tomorrow
would be my guess.
999
01:14:18,722 --> 01:14:20,657
Wade, I want you to drive your
truck down the road
1000
01:14:20,724 --> 01:14:22,626
to the end of my property line.
1001
01:14:22,692 --> 01:14:24,961
Not one inch past it, you hear?
1002
01:14:25,028 --> 01:14:27,831
Turn it sideways so it'll block
the road.
1003
01:14:27,897 --> 01:14:30,834
And I don't care whether it's a
CCC boy...
1004
01:14:30,900 --> 01:14:34,037
United States Marshal,
or Blake himself.
1005
01:14:34,103 --> 01:14:36,940
The first person
that crosses my property line...
1006
01:14:37,006 --> 01:14:43,179
is gonna get a load of
double-o-buck for his trouble.
1007
01:14:43,246 --> 01:14:45,181
Aunt Martha Corinne...
1008
01:14:45,248 --> 01:14:48,184
couldn't you just hold your fire
until my daddy gets here?
1009
01:14:48,251 --> 01:14:51,420
Hold our fire and be flattened
by one or more bulldozers?
1010
01:14:51,487 --> 01:14:53,557
Why does it have to
come to that?
1011
01:14:53,623 --> 01:14:55,491
What way have you got
in mind, boy?
1012
01:14:55,559 --> 01:14:57,060
Well, we can talk!
1013
01:14:57,126 --> 01:14:59,362
Both sides are gonna be
face-to-face with each other.
1014
01:14:59,428 --> 01:15:01,130
Now is the time to work
something out.
1015
01:15:01,197 --> 01:15:03,299
You don't know Blake.
1016
01:15:03,366 --> 01:15:08,672
All I'm saying is that we don't
have to shoot right off the bat.
1017
01:15:08,738 --> 01:15:11,808
It may come to that. I'll grant
you, it may come to that.
1018
01:15:11,875 --> 01:15:13,476
But even if it does...
1019
01:15:13,543 --> 01:15:17,146
I don't think that we should be
the first to pull the trigger.
1020
01:15:17,213 --> 01:15:22,285
I'll depend on what men of my
family want to defend my land.
1021
01:15:24,621 --> 01:15:26,656
Wade, go!
1022
01:15:39,435 --> 01:15:42,405
Questions, John-Boy?
1023
01:15:42,471 --> 01:15:44,674
It won't work.
1024
01:15:49,178 --> 01:15:52,081
Alright, Blake.
We'll be there by 9:15.
1025
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:58,888
They started blasting again.
1026
01:15:58,955 --> 01:16:02,225
-Double-crossed us all.
-Why?
1027
01:16:02,291 --> 01:16:05,461
Something about having
to revise his time schedule...
1028
01:16:05,528 --> 01:16:07,296
on the current stretch of road.
1029
01:16:07,363 --> 01:16:10,166
Claims it's gonna take much
longer, cost more money.
1030
01:16:10,233 --> 01:16:13,937
Money out of his own pocket.
"Money talks," he said.
1031
01:16:14,003 --> 01:16:17,373
Is there anything we can do to
stop it?
1032
01:16:17,440 --> 01:16:20,977
The law is on his side.
1033
01:16:21,044 --> 01:16:24,247
Finish your breakfast.
We're going to Richmond.
1034
01:16:34,590 --> 01:16:38,527
They can bring more men with
guns than you'd ever imagine.
1035
01:16:38,594 --> 01:16:40,363
That's up to them.
1036
01:16:40,429 --> 01:16:43,432
What good is it gonna do you
to shoot one of them...
1037
01:16:43,499 --> 01:16:46,569
if Boone or Wade or any of us
gets killed in the bargain?
1038
01:16:46,636 --> 01:16:49,739
That's one of the things
you won't learn in college.
1039
01:16:49,806 --> 01:16:52,041
The cost of defending
your own property.
1040
01:16:52,108 --> 01:16:54,443
Grandpa, are you willing
to gamble your life on that?
1041
01:16:54,510 --> 01:16:56,646
I'm here.
1042
01:17:06,589 --> 01:17:09,158
Up here...
1043
01:17:09,225 --> 01:17:10,994
we all have said...
1044
01:17:11,060 --> 01:17:12,996
the days of our lives
are numbered
1045
01:17:13,062 --> 01:17:15,498
like the pages of the Bible.
1046
01:17:15,564 --> 01:17:18,968
I cannot believe you think
it's as simple as that.
1047
01:17:19,035 --> 01:17:21,137
There's never been one of us...
1048
01:17:21,204 --> 01:17:23,873
able to determine
the days of our living
1049
01:17:23,940 --> 01:17:26,042
and the time of our calling.
1050
01:17:33,116 --> 01:17:36,452
Are you just going
to accept that?
1051
01:17:36,519 --> 01:17:38,955
If you can't carry a gun...
1052
01:17:39,022 --> 01:17:41,324
the least you can do
is help with the lookout.
1053
01:17:46,362 --> 01:17:48,064
You're all fools.
1054
01:17:48,131 --> 01:17:51,100
I will not have you talk like
that about your elders.
1055
01:17:51,167 --> 01:17:54,103
I have a right to speak my mind
in this family...
1056
01:17:54,170 --> 01:17:56,239
and that woman's gonna
sacrifice her kin.
1057
01:17:56,305 --> 01:17:59,375
You have no call to refer
to your kin as fools.
1058
01:17:59,442 --> 01:18:02,511
-Grandpa, you're wrong!
-You think they're right.
1059
01:18:02,578 --> 01:18:05,849
-I do not think they are right!
-Because, if you do, go home...
1060
01:18:05,915 --> 01:18:08,885
or better yet, go join them!
1061
01:18:08,952 --> 01:18:11,087
I do not think they're right!
1062
01:19:16,252 --> 01:19:18,955
Right there.
1063
01:19:19,022 --> 01:19:21,524
There's a U.S. Marshal
waiting, too.
1064
01:19:35,738 --> 01:19:38,307
Zeb, what do you think?
1065
01:19:38,374 --> 01:19:42,745
They're not doing much.
Just sizing up the situation.
1066
01:19:42,812 --> 01:19:44,247
They're leaving.
1067
01:19:44,313 --> 01:19:47,683
Next time, they'll be
coming right for us.
1068
01:19:47,750 --> 01:19:49,919
He's right, Grandpa.
1069
01:20:03,366 --> 01:20:06,769
Sen. Avery, we've been over
this ground before.
1070
01:20:06,836 --> 01:20:08,371
There's nothing we can do.
1071
01:20:08,437 --> 01:20:12,308
Very well. We'll take our case
directly to the governor.
1072
01:20:12,375 --> 01:20:16,479
I suggest you contact the police
and the local sheriff's office
1073
01:20:16,545 --> 01:20:20,950
and instruct them to supervise
an orderly and peaceful removal
1074
01:20:21,017 --> 01:20:23,286
of Martha Corinne Walton
and her family.
1075
01:20:23,352 --> 01:20:28,157
Excuse me, sir. Is it possible
for a citizen to say something?
1076
01:20:28,224 --> 01:20:30,960
I don't wish this
to sound callous...
1077
01:20:31,027 --> 01:20:32,495
but Mr. Walton should know...
1078
01:20:32,561 --> 01:20:35,231
we've been through the emotional
ringer on this issue before.
1079
01:20:35,298 --> 01:20:37,733
The chair recognizes
Mr. Walton's privilege
1080
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:40,369
as a citizen to speak before us.
1081
01:20:40,436 --> 01:20:42,872
Thank you, Senator.
1082
01:20:44,874 --> 01:20:49,278
You see, you gentlemen may not
understand why we're here.
1083
01:20:49,345 --> 01:20:52,916
You're city folk, and we're here
to talk about mountain people.
1084
01:20:52,982 --> 01:20:55,618
Now, just a minute,
Mr. Walton...
1085
01:20:55,684 --> 01:20:57,453
what has that got to do with it?
1086
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:00,589
It's got a lot to do
with it, Senator.
1087
01:21:00,656 --> 01:21:03,526
You see, these folks up there,
they settled those mountains...
1088
01:21:03,592 --> 01:21:05,761
long before any of us were born.
1089
01:21:05,828 --> 01:21:07,596
And their ways haven't changed
1090
01:21:07,663 --> 01:21:10,099
since they come over
from the old country.
1091
01:21:10,166 --> 01:21:12,335
Martha Corinne Walton
is one of them.
1092
01:21:12,401 --> 01:21:14,203
You must admit, Mr. Walton...
1093
01:21:14,270 --> 01:21:17,606
that progress is a vital part of
life in these United States.
1094
01:21:17,673 --> 01:21:20,376
Yes, sir, Senator.
1095
01:21:20,443 --> 01:21:23,679
I admit that.
1096
01:21:23,746 --> 01:21:26,015
But it's hard for this old lady
1097
01:21:26,082 --> 01:21:28,151
who has a little
vegetable patch...
1098
01:21:28,217 --> 01:21:30,319
slaughters 3 or 4 hogs a year,
1099
01:21:30,386 --> 01:21:31,787
and takes a little game
from the mountain.
1100
01:21:31,854 --> 01:21:36,259
It's hard for her to understand
anything about progress.
1101
01:21:36,325 --> 01:21:38,361
And it's got to be
awful frightening...
1102
01:21:38,427 --> 01:21:41,130
for her to be asked to move
to the city...
1103
01:21:41,197 --> 01:21:43,166
especially since she hasn't
been asked to move...
1104
01:21:43,232 --> 01:21:45,834
since her husband come back
from the war in 1865.
1105
01:21:45,901 --> 01:21:47,836
Frightening it may be,
Mr. Walton...
1106
01:21:47,903 --> 01:21:51,574
but it hardly justifies taking
arms against the Government.
1107
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:55,344
That's true, Senator.
1108
01:21:55,411 --> 01:21:57,446
But you see...
1109
01:21:57,513 --> 01:22:00,449
these folks up
in the mountain...
1110
01:22:00,516 --> 01:22:02,518
they don't spend
much time reading books.
1111
01:22:02,585 --> 01:22:06,622
And they don't spend much time
talking about what's justified.
1112
01:22:06,689 --> 01:22:09,625
All they know is,
they got a little bit of land...
1113
01:22:09,692 --> 01:22:11,560
and it's their land.
1114
01:22:11,627 --> 01:22:14,163
And they feel like it's slipping
out from under them
1115
01:22:14,230 --> 01:22:17,466
and they don't understand.
1116
01:22:17,533 --> 01:22:21,704
Now, what we're talking about
here is old age and home...
1117
01:22:21,770 --> 01:22:25,608
and a place against
your idea of progress.
1118
01:22:25,674 --> 01:22:27,743
Now, those young folks
up there...
1119
01:22:27,810 --> 01:22:30,213
they may not like the idea...
1120
01:22:30,279 --> 01:22:33,882
but they still can change,
they can adjust.
1121
01:22:33,949 --> 01:22:35,484
They may even be glad it
happened.
1122
01:22:35,551 --> 01:22:38,254
But there must be some way
that those old folks...
1123
01:22:38,321 --> 01:22:43,359
can spend their few remaining
years up there.
1124
01:22:43,426 --> 01:22:46,629
Martha Corinne Walton
is only one of them.
1125
01:22:46,695 --> 01:22:48,431
There's a whole bunch
of them up there
1126
01:22:48,497 --> 01:22:51,667
and they're just as frightened
as she is.
1127
01:22:51,734 --> 01:22:54,603
And they're as likely to react
to that fear with violence.
1128
01:22:59,175 --> 01:23:03,179
I hope they don't have
to do that.
1129
01:23:03,246 --> 01:23:07,083
They deserve to spend
their remaining days in peace...
1130
01:23:07,150 --> 01:23:09,018
without fear.
1131
01:23:24,433 --> 01:23:26,702
Dear...
1132
01:23:26,769 --> 01:23:29,505
President...
1133
01:23:29,572 --> 01:23:33,542
Roosevelt.
1134
01:23:33,609 --> 01:23:38,514
The law says...
1135
01:23:38,581 --> 01:23:39,548
your people...
1136
01:23:39,615 --> 01:23:42,418
can come here...
1137
01:23:42,485 --> 01:23:44,587
today...
1138
01:23:44,653 --> 01:23:47,756
and pack me off...
1139
01:23:47,823 --> 01:23:50,759
my land.
1140
01:23:50,826 --> 01:23:54,230
I will fight them...
1141
01:23:54,297 --> 01:23:56,565
as hard...
1142
01:23:56,632 --> 01:24:01,904
as I am able.
1143
01:24:01,970 --> 01:24:05,641
Should I lose...
1144
01:24:05,708 --> 01:24:09,612
and be moved away...
1145
01:24:14,850 --> 01:24:17,620
please...
1146
01:24:17,686 --> 01:24:21,657
have your...
1147
01:24:21,724 --> 01:24:24,760
government...
1148
01:24:24,827 --> 01:24:30,966
bring me back...
1149
01:24:31,033 --> 01:24:33,269
to be buried...
1150
01:24:33,336 --> 01:24:35,671
when I die.
1151
01:24:51,887 --> 01:24:54,190
I wonder how many deputies
they think it will take
1152
01:24:54,257 --> 01:24:55,791
to flush us out.
1153
01:26:05,461 --> 01:26:10,366
I don't know how it's gonna turn
outfor us today, Henry.
1154
01:26:10,433 --> 01:26:13,101
But, I do know...
1155
01:26:13,168 --> 01:26:17,340
we could use you being here.
1156
01:26:17,406 --> 01:26:22,311
We'd stick close together.
1157
01:26:22,378 --> 01:26:25,948
We always did when trouble
looked us in the eye.
1158
01:26:29,852 --> 01:26:32,788
Today would be
a whole lot easier...
1159
01:26:32,855 --> 01:26:36,024
if it was just a shoat,
or a Sunday chicken
1160
01:26:36,091 --> 01:26:38,527
these folks was after.
1161
01:26:40,729 --> 01:26:44,567
Lord...
1162
01:26:44,633 --> 01:26:47,803
but I wish it would
be easy trouble.
1163
01:27:16,799 --> 01:27:19,535
It isn't enough they
tear apart mountains.
1164
01:27:19,602 --> 01:27:21,604
They can't leave nothing alone.
1165
01:27:21,670 --> 01:27:25,541
Not mountains, not trees,
not people.
1166
01:28:13,489 --> 01:28:16,024
Mrs. Walton...
1167
01:28:16,091 --> 01:28:21,564
I got something here
you better listen to.
1168
01:28:21,630 --> 01:28:23,732
"Mrs. Henry Walton...
1169
01:28:23,799 --> 01:28:28,003
"be it hereby known that
notice of eviction...
1170
01:28:28,070 --> 01:28:31,139
"on your property and dwelling
is in effect...
1171
01:28:31,206 --> 01:28:33,409
"as of this day.
1172
01:28:33,476 --> 01:28:37,880
"That you and all said persons
residing...
1173
01:28:37,946 --> 01:28:42,084
"on this property shall
immediately and peacefully...
1174
01:28:42,150 --> 01:28:45,821
"legally vacate all land...
1175
01:28:45,888 --> 01:28:47,390
"and dwellings...
1176
01:28:47,456 --> 01:28:49,925
"belonging to you."
1177
01:28:52,928 --> 01:28:56,098
You may, of course,
read this yourself.
1178
01:28:56,164 --> 01:28:57,866
Blake, go back.
1179
01:28:57,933 --> 01:29:03,639
You're not coming
on my property.
1180
01:29:03,706 --> 01:29:05,374
Let's go, Marshals.
1181
01:29:25,561 --> 01:29:26,729
I can't do this.
1182
01:29:26,795 --> 01:29:28,230
Where do you think you're going?
1183
01:29:28,296 --> 01:29:31,133
-I gotta talk to him once.
-No kin of ours is running out.
1184
01:29:31,199 --> 01:29:33,669
I'm not running out on you,
Boone. Please, Grandpa.
1185
01:29:33,736 --> 01:29:36,104
-It won't work.
-If it doesn't, I'll be back.
1186
01:29:36,171 --> 01:29:37,906
John-boy!
1187
01:29:55,123 --> 01:29:56,291
Stop!
1188
01:29:56,358 --> 01:29:57,893
Outta the way
before you're hurt.
1189
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:00,262
-I wanna talk to you.
-I'm through talking.
1190
01:30:00,328 --> 01:30:02,565
Mr. Blake, think about this.
They're not bluffing.
1191
01:30:02,631 --> 01:30:04,232
Well, that makes us even.
1192
01:30:04,299 --> 01:30:06,802
None of this would've happened
if you'd kept your word.
1193
01:30:32,294 --> 01:30:33,796
Grandpa!
1194
01:30:37,566 --> 01:30:39,535
Hold your fire.
1195
01:30:43,506 --> 01:30:46,609
-No!
-My boy.
1196
01:30:48,644 --> 01:30:51,914
Johnny! Johnny!
1197
01:30:51,980 --> 01:30:54,717
No! No!
1198
01:31:06,361 --> 01:31:08,597
-Grandpa, are you alright?
-Are you hurt, Son?
1199
01:31:08,664 --> 01:31:12,367
Me? I'm fine. I'm....
1200
01:31:12,434 --> 01:31:14,937
-I've been shot.
-Oh, no.
1201
01:31:18,340 --> 01:31:21,443
Oh, no.
1202
01:31:21,510 --> 01:31:23,111
Just put down your rifles.
1203
01:31:27,182 --> 01:31:28,216
No, sir.
1204
01:31:28,283 --> 01:31:30,218
Don't tell me no.
I can have you both
1205
01:31:30,285 --> 01:31:32,054
in convict's clothes by sundown.
1206
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:34,623
I'd rather be
in the ground by sundown.
1207
01:31:42,497 --> 01:31:43,599
What happened?
1208
01:31:43,666 --> 01:31:45,701
John-boy's been hurt.
1209
01:31:45,768 --> 01:31:48,103
-It's alright.
-Get him to a doctor.
1210
01:31:48,170 --> 01:31:50,739
Let's get him out of here.
Easy, Son.
1211
01:31:58,681 --> 01:32:00,549
It's alright. It's alright.
1212
01:32:02,818 --> 01:32:06,054
It's starting to hurt now.
1213
01:32:06,121 --> 01:32:08,223
It's okay.
1214
01:32:08,290 --> 01:32:09,758
Daddy?
1215
01:32:25,941 --> 01:32:30,145
Lucas, what result
with the Governor?
1216
01:32:30,212 --> 01:32:33,582
We didn't see the Governor
until early this morning.
1217
01:32:33,649 --> 01:32:36,184
He turned us down.
1218
01:32:52,267 --> 01:32:54,937
No more bloodshed.
1219
01:32:55,003 --> 01:32:58,440
-We'll do as we're told.
-Not me!
1220
01:32:58,506 --> 01:33:00,809
We'll all do as we're told.
1221
01:33:02,611 --> 01:33:04,112
Mama?
1222
01:33:18,827 --> 01:33:22,230
You can leave now, Mr. Blake.
1223
01:33:22,297 --> 01:33:24,132
We'll do our own packing.
1224
01:33:58,600 --> 01:34:02,237
I reckon I'd better go in
and get Martha Corrine.
1225
01:34:20,422 --> 01:34:24,626
Ma'am.
1226
01:34:24,693 --> 01:34:27,095
I'm through with that.
1227
01:34:27,162 --> 01:34:29,898
I'd like to make a gift of it to
your sisters.
1228
01:34:29,965 --> 01:34:32,100
I'm sure they'll
appreciate that.
1229
01:34:32,167 --> 01:34:33,869
Now don't try to lift it by
yourself yet.
1230
01:34:33,936 --> 01:34:37,339
No, I'll have Grandpa
help me with it.
1231
01:34:37,405 --> 01:34:41,409
Ma'am, they're all loaded,
just waiting for you.
1232
01:34:41,476 --> 01:34:46,048
Well, I wanna leave this room
as clean as it was...
1233
01:34:46,114 --> 01:34:49,117
the first day we moved in.
1234
01:34:57,993 --> 01:35:02,097
Henry was a shy man
with a woman.
1235
01:35:02,164 --> 01:35:05,700
He didn't lift me over
the threshold...
1236
01:35:05,768 --> 01:35:08,703
the way a bridegroom
is supposed to.
1237
01:35:11,907 --> 01:35:15,377
But when we came
into this room...
1238
01:35:21,950 --> 01:35:24,953
I wore lilac...
1239
01:35:27,555 --> 01:35:31,326
and he smelled of bay rum.
1240
01:35:31,393 --> 01:35:34,897
He'd been to the barbershop
that morning.
1241
01:36:13,902 --> 01:36:16,604
The house is gone now along
with the animal shelters
1242
01:36:16,671 --> 01:36:18,240
and the out buildings.
1243
01:36:18,306 --> 01:36:19,975
The forest has grown up...
1244
01:36:20,042 --> 01:36:22,845
and there is no sign
that once a man and a woman...
1245
01:36:22,911 --> 01:36:24,712
struggled there
to raise a family
1246
01:36:24,779 --> 01:36:26,748
and make a life for themselves.
1247
01:36:26,815 --> 01:36:30,118
Only the tiny graveyard
endures
1248
01:36:30,185 --> 01:36:34,022
not far from where the house
itself stood.
1249
01:36:34,089 --> 01:36:36,925
With Martha Corinne's eviction
from Blue Rock Creek...
1250
01:36:36,992 --> 01:36:40,228
our link with our pioneer past
was broken...
1251
01:36:40,295 --> 01:36:42,230
but it remains with us today...
1252
01:36:42,297 --> 01:36:46,902
in our heritage, in our
history, and in our pride.
1253
01:36:46,969 --> 01:36:49,838
Martha Corinne died in 1939.
1254
01:36:49,905 --> 01:36:54,276
She was buried beside her
husband and infant son.
1255
01:36:54,342 --> 01:36:57,712
Wade and Vera settled in the
southwestern part of the state
1256
01:36:57,779 --> 01:37:00,849
where Wade built their home,
and began a career...
1257
01:37:00,916 --> 01:37:03,751
which saw him become one of
the country's most talented
1258
01:37:03,818 --> 01:37:05,453
wood carvers.
1259
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:08,090
Boone Walton was
killed by a truck...
1260
01:37:08,156 --> 01:37:11,759
as he crossed the highway
one night in 1943.
1261
01:37:11,826 --> 01:37:15,297
He was carrying
two gallons of moonshine.
1262
01:37:15,363 --> 01:37:18,967
Mama, you promised me that song
and you forgot.
1263
01:37:19,034 --> 01:37:20,969
First thing in
the morning, Elizabeth.
1264
01:37:21,036 --> 01:37:23,538
I'd sleep better
if I heard it now.
1265
01:37:46,661 --> 01:37:48,363
You, too, Daddy.
1266
01:38:13,688 --> 01:38:15,323
Goodnight, Mama and Daddy.
1267
01:38:15,390 --> 01:38:18,093
-Goodnight, Elizabeth.
-Goodnight, Elizabeth.
