LET'S GET THIS BACK ON THERE.

IT'LL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE.

ON THREE - ONE, TWO, THREE!

SEE THAT?

COME ON CAPTAIN!

I GOT IT, JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO AGAIN.

COME ON CAPTAIN, THE WAGON SHOULD BE LIGHT ENOUGH.

I'LL GIVE YOU A HAND.

MS. TIERNEY PLEASE, WE- WE DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.

YES YOU DO.

IT IS MY WAGON.

WELL YOU HEARD THE LADY.

OW, DARN IT!

YOU OKAY THERE?

LET ME TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

NO, IT'S FINE.

LET ME JUST GET ORGANIZED, AND I'LL MAKE

US ALL SOME BREAKFAST.

I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE TAKES IT, JIM.

I'VE KNOWN MEN TO DESERT OVER LESS WORK THAN SHE PUTS IN.

WELL, SHE'S A RARE ONE AIN'T SHE?

LET'S GET THIS WAGON LOADED UP.

MOLLY!

MOLLY TIERNEY!

MOLLY, ARE YOU HERE?

MOLLY!

BEAU?

OH THANK GOODNESS!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I'VE COME TO TAKE YOU HOME!

STOP IT!

WHAT?

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

HEY BACK UP STRANGER.

WHAT'S YOUR BUSINESS WITH MS. TIERNEY?

THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU.

THE LADY TOLD YOU TO STOP!

CAPTAIN!

HE THINKS HE'S MY FIANCE.

STAY DOWN.

JUST WHERE DO YOU GET OFF, SOLDIER BOY?

WATCH YOUR STEP NOW, STRANGER.

NOW, WHAT'S ALL THIS

BETWEEN YOU AND MOLLY?

I'M JUST GLAD TO SEE MY MOLLY AGAIN!

SHE BELONGS WITH ME,

NOT OUT HERE ROAMING THE WEST WITH YOU-

YOU ROUGHNECKS.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

LISTEN.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST TAKE YOUR EASE

RIGHT HERE OKAY?

AND CAPTAIN, CAPTAIN!

WHY DON'T ME AND YOU GO

OVER THERE AND SEE WHAT MOLLY HAS TO SAY?

MS. TIERNEY,

I APOLOGIZE.

I HAD NO IDEA THAT MAN WAS YOUR BETROTHED.

IT'S FINE.

HE'S- HE'S NOT QUITE REALLY MY FIANCE

BUT...

MOLLY,

YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO TELL US?

BEAU'S NOT A BAD MAN.

HE DOES BUSINESS WITH MY FATHER,

AND MY FAMILY HAS DONE WELL FROM IT.

WHEN BEAU PROPOSED MARRIAGE, MY PARENTS INSISTED I ACCEPT.

AND DID YOU?

I NEVER SAID "YES" TO BEAU, I JUST

DIDN'T EVER SAY "NO."

AND THEN A WEEK LATER I WENT TO GO VISIT FAMILY IN VIRGINIA CITY

AND THAT'S WHEN YOU AND I MET,

AND I DISCOVERED ALL THIS.

YEAH,

DIFFERENT LIFE THAN WHAT YOU

WOULD'VE HAD BACK EAST I RECKON.

YES, JIM.

DIFFERENT AND FREE.

I WROTE TO BEAU SAYING I HAD

TO THINK THINGS OVER.

MAYBE HE JUST NEEDS A GOOD FIRM TALKING TO, MOLLY.

BUT JIM,

IT'S AS HARD OUT HERE AS IT IS FREE.

THERE'S SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AND SO MUCH DANGER.

MAYBE I SHOULD JUST MARRY HIM, JIM.

AT LEAST THEN I'D HAVE SECURITY.

MOLLY,

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU

THAT I ONCE MET A WOMAN

WHO HAD THE EXACT SAME DILEMMA THAT YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW?

BRIDGER, V/O: IT WAS BACK IN 1829.

THE FUR TRADE WAS IN ITS PRIME,

AND AS A YOUNG MAN OF TWENTY FIVE,

SO WAS I.

I WAS TRADING MY FURS AT A VILLAGE OF THE UTE INDIANS-

[IN FRENCH] ATTENDS!

BRIDGER, V/O: AND I STUMBLED

INTO A SITUATION

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND AT ALL.

STAY!

MY COUSIN WILL HAVE HIS WIFE BACK!

IF SHE IS HERE, BRING HER!

OR I WILL BURN THIS PLACE TO ASHES.

DOES IT LOOK LIKE HER?

BRIDGER, V/O: WELL I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THIS BIG RASCAL WAS AFTER,

BUT I WASN'T GONNA JUST WATCH AS HE RANSACKED THE VILLAGE.

HEY! HEY!

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

YOU- YOU WANNA DIE RIGHT HERE?

MOVE!

COME.

LEAVE HER.

HE- EH- DU-DU-DU.

STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.

BRIDGER.

YOU KNOW,

DO NOT BE A PROBLEM FOR ME.

MY ERRAND IS NONE OF YOUR CONCERN.

SEEING HELPLESS WOMEN ROUGHED UP,

THAT'S VERY MUCH MY CONCERN.

THE WIFE OF MY COUSIN HAS RUN AWAY.

SHE HAS RUN BEFORE.

WHEN I FIND HER,

SHE WILL GO BACK TO HIM,

AND I WILL MAKE SURE

THAT SHE WILL NEVER RUN AGAIN!

AH, HERE WE ARE!

YES!

YOUR HUSBAND IS VERY ANGRY

WITH YOU, LITTLE BIRD.

SHE AIN'T GOIN' WITH YOU IF SHE DON'T WANT.

GET HER, AH!

I WILL NOT WARN YOU AGAIN.

DO NOT INTERFERE WITH ME.

BRIDGER, V/O: WELL THAT SCOUNDREL WAS RIGHT.

THIS WASN'T MY PROBLEM.

STAY HERE.

BRIDGER, V/O: BUT I JUST COULDN'T STAND BY AND WATCH

THEM HUNT DOWN A FLEEING WOMAN.

I ALSO KNEW THAT THE WOMAN WHO FLED

WASN'T A UTE, BUT A SHOSHONE.

BUT AT THAT MOMENT, ALL I CARED ABOUT WAS STOPPING

THAT VOYAGEUR FROM FINDIN' HER.

BONJOUR.

EN ROULANT MA BOULE, EN ROULANT MA BOU-

STUPID AMERICANS NEVER LISTEN.

OH I'M SO SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO-

OH, YOU STILL HAVE SOME FIGHT IN YOU.

WELL I AM DONE

PLAYING THESE GAMES.

I AM SORRY, BUT I DID TELL YOU DIDN'T I BOY.

NOW YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN-

COME.

CAN YOU STAND?

NOTHING BROKEN, I THINK.

REST.

THANK YOU.

WHY DID YOU FOLLOW BARBICHE?

I THOUGHT YOU COULD USE THE HELP BUT, I GUESS

I GOT THAT ONE WRONG.

WHY'D YOU RUN FROM YOUR HUSBAND?

I HAVE RUN MANY TIMES.

HE THINKS HE IS A GREAT MAN OF THE MOUNTAINS

BUT HE IS MEAN AND CRUEL.

HE WILL FIND ME,

HE ALWAYS DOES.

MY NAME IS JIM,

AND I WANNA HELP YOU.

YOU CAN CALL ME BIRD WOMAN.

OKAY BIRD.

I'LL MAKE SURE YOUR HUSBAND KNOWS YOU WON'T BE

COMIN' BACK THIS TIME.

WHERE CAN I FIND HIM?

HE WILL BE AT THE UTE VILLAGE BY NOW,

COMING BY THE RIVER.

CAN YOU STAY OUTTA SIGHT FOR A WHILE?

JIM,

GO WITH CARE.

HE IS A BAD MAN,

AND HE WILL BE VERY ANGRY.

BRIDGER, V/O: AS SOON AS I REACHED THE VILLAGE,

I REALIZED I'D STUMBLED INTO SOMETHING BIGGER THAN IT SEEMED.

I'M SORRY!

I- I-

THAT IS HIM, COUSIN!

YOU HELPED MY WIFE TO ESCAPE.

WHY?

SHE DOESN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THAT'S HER CHOICE.

IT IS NOT HER CHOICE.

IT IS MY CHOICE!

AND YOU SHOULD KNOW NOT TO CROSS TOUSSAINT CHARBONNEAU!

WAIT A MINUTE, HOLD ON.

DID YOU SAY TOUSSAINT CHARBONNEAU?

I DID, CAPTAIN, I DID.

OH AND TRUST ME, I WAS AS AMAZED THEN

AS YOU ARE NOW.

SORRY, WHO IS UH-

CHARBONNEAU WAS INTERPRETER FOR LEWIS AND CLARK!

WHY JIM, HE MUSTA BEEN ANCIENT WHEN YOU MET HIM!

OH YEAH, HE WAS.

OH HE WAS, SEE,

BACK IN THE EARLY DAYS MOLLY,

YA KNOW THE OLD TIMERS SEE THEY USED TO TELL US

ALL ABOUT LEWIS AND CLARK.

YEAH.

CHARBONNEAU, I MEAN,

HE WAS LIKE A LEGEND COME TO LIFE.

BRIDGER, V/O: BUT, IT'S ALSO WHEN I LEARNED MOST MEN DON'T

LIVE UP TO THEIR LEGENDS WHEN YOU MEET 'EM.

DID SHE TELL YOU THAT I WAS CRUEL?

A BEAST?

SHE IS UNGRATEFUL.

WELL I'VE SEEN MYSELF WHAT YOU HAD YOUR COUSIN HERE DO.

I RECKON SHE'S RIGHT TO RUN AWAY.

NO- NO- NO- NO- NO.

SHE IS THE WIFE OF CHARBONNEAU!

IT WAS I WHO LED THE JOURNEY OF THE CAPTAINS LEWIS AND CLARK

- A JOURNEY OF GREAT FAME AND REPUTE!

THANKS TO ME!

SHE BELONGS TO ME!

AND SHE WILL LEARN RESPECT WHEN REMY BRINGS HER BACK.

AND YOU WILL BE WISE TO DO THE SAME.

OF COURSE I HEARD OF TOUSSAINT CHARBONNEAU.

AS YOU SHOULD.

IT WAS I WHO LED THE CAPTAINS OVER THE MOUNTAINS,

WHEN YOU WERE BUT A BABE IN ARMS.

WELL, I WON'T BOTHER YOU AGAIN.

WHAT'D YOU SAY WE HAVE A DRINK

AND PART AS FRIENDS?

BIRD WOMAN, YOU HERE?

SO YOU MET THE GREAT CHARBONNEAU?

YES, MA'AM.

IF I CAN REMEMBER CORRECTLY, HE WAS MARRIED

TO A WOMAN NAMED SACAGAWEA.

HE WAS, ONCE.

WAY I HEARD IT, SHE DIED NEARLY TWENTY YEARS AGO.

I HEARD THAT, AS WELL.

SURE HOPE CHARBONNEAU WASN'T TREATIN' SACAJAWEA

THE WAY HE'S BEEN TREATING YOU.

I THINK SHE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN.

SHE DESERVED A LIFE OF FREEDOM--

AND SO DO YOU.

ANYTHING WORTH HAVING IS WORTH FIGHTIN' FOR,

AND I CAN SEE YOU'RE A FIGHTER.

COME.

I WILL BE SAFE

IF I CAN REACH MY PEOPLE AT THE WIND RIVER.

BUT I HAVE NO CANOE.

BUT YOUR HUSBAND DOES.

BRIDGER, V/O: WE CAME UP WITH A SIMPLE PLAN.

I'D DISTRACT REMY AND HIS MEN

AND BIRD WOMAN, WELL SHE'D SLIP INTO

THE VILLAGE AND TAKE CHARBONNEAU'S CANOE.

GO, NOW.

I'LL LEAD THEM OFF.

GOOD LUCK.

HEY!

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU!

YOU LOOKIN' FOR A FIGHT?

WELL COME AND GET IT.

HIS GUNS ARE EMPTY.

RUSH HIM!

NO ONE KILLS HIM BUT ME!

WHERE IS HE?

ALLONS-Y, GO.

I AM TIRED OF THESE GAMES.

I WILL FIND YOU.

I'LL MAKE SURE OF THAT.

FIND HIM!

I'M TIRED OF WAITING, FIND HIM!

FIND HIM NOW!

BRIDGER, V/O: WELL, AND THEN ALL I COULD DO WAS HOPE

I'D KEPT REMY AWAY FROM THE VILLAGE LONG ENOUGH

FOR BIRD WOMAN TO GRAB THE CANOE AND FLEE.

DID YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE?

NO, TOUSSAINT WAS DRUNK ASLEEP.

WHAT IF HE COMES AFTER YOU AGAIN?

HE WILL NOT FOLLOW ME AMONG MY PEOPLE.

I WILL BE FREE FROM HIM.

NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, THE SHOSHONE WORD

FOR BIRD WOMAN

IS SACAGAWEA.

YOUR SHOSHONE IS GOOD.

BUT I ASK YOU TO BELIEVE THAT THE YOUNG GIRL

CALLED SACAGAWEA DIED LONG AGO.

BUT IF I EVER NEED TO FIND MY WAY,

I WILL SEEK YOU OUT, JIM BRIDGER.

WAIT, HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?

DON'T YOU KNOW?

THERE ARE STORIES ABOUT YOU TOO.

SO YOU ACTUALLY MET SACAGAWEA?

WELL, I'M NOT SAYIN' I DID EXACTLY.

THE PERSON I MET, SHE WENT BY BIRD WOMAN.

ALL RIGHT, BUT YOU THINK SHE WAS SACAGAWEA?

WHAT I THINK, CAPTAIN COLSON, IS THAT IF A WOMAN WANTS

TO BE LEFT ALONE, IT'S BEST TO LEAVE HER ALONE.

HOW CAN YOU COMPARE ME TO SUCH AN INCREDIBLE WOMAN?

SHE'S A HERO, I'M JUST ME.

YOU'RE MORE ALIKE THAN YOU THINK.

SEE, BIRD WOMAN,

SHE WANTED TO BE FREE TO MAKE HER OWN DECISIONS

EVEN IF THEY WERE RISKY ONES.

TRUTH IS, MOLLY,

THIS LIFE IS HARD ON ALL OF US

FROM TIME TO TIME.

THAT'S WHEN YOU TURN TO FRIENDS.

AND AS LONG AS YOU CARE TO STAY HERE YOU'LL HAVE ME

AND JIM TO LEAN ON.

BUT I DON'T THINK YOU'LL NEED TO.

WELL, EXCUSE ME GENTLEMEN.

I NEED TO GO SPEAK TO BEAU.

I MIGHT BE WRONG, CAPTAIN, BUT UM,

SEEMS LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE MORE THAN A PASSIN' INTEREST

IN OUR MISS TIERNEY OVER THERE.

UH, SHE'S A FINE YOUNG WOMAN.

WELL THAT SHE IS.

WELL, HE TOOK THAT WELL.

SO, JIM, SHOULD WE GET THE REST OF THE TEAM HITCHED?

I'M GONNA RIDE AHEAD.

BUT UH, CAPTAIN COLSON HERE,

WELL HE'S EAGER TO GET HITCHED UP.

WHAT- HE- HE MEANS HORSES, MOLLY.

UH, HITCHED TO THE UH, THE WAGON, OF COURSE.

SO, UH, WE BETTER GO DO THAT-

BETTER GO DO THAT.
