All language subtitles for Laramie S03E23 The Day of the Savage

PAT: Driver.

Why are we stopping?

Something up
beside the road, ma'am.
We're just checking.

Is it much further
to the relay station?

Don't worry,
we'll get you there on time.

[ gunshots ]

[ Indians yelling ]

[ barking ]

Oh, cut it out, Buttons,
you're not helping any.

Besides, Daisy says
we got to finish

churning this butter
before we can go frog hunting.

[ horses neighing ]

Good morning, ma'am.

My name's Colton,
Glen Colton.

I'd like to enquire
about the morning stage.

How do you do, Mr. Colton?

I'm Mrs. Cooper.

The stage isn't due
for a while yet.

I don't know exactly
when it'll be here.

Not for 10 minutes anyway.

I guess you must have
a crystal ball, ma'am.

Hmm?

Oh, nothing like that.

The two men from this ranch
are working over the ridge,

not 10 minutes away.

They can see
the stage coming and ride in,

in time to change the teams.

Sounds like
a good arrangement.

While you're waiting, you're
welcome to water your horses

and wash off the trail dust.

Oh, thank you.
Thank you, ma'am.

I'm meeting someone
on the stage,

someone,
well, kind of important.

Oh, is that so?

Well, just make
yourself at home.

Thank you.

[ horses neighing ]

Inside!
Indians!

[ gunshots ]

[ horses approaching ]

[ gunshot ]

Daisy!

Mike!

We're all right, Slim.

You better see to Mr. Colton.

Where's Mike?

I locked him
in the cupboard.

He probably
won't want to come out,

how the cookie jar's
in there.

They sure hit him
a good one.

Looks like they were trying
to take him prisoner.

We're lucky
that's all they did.

[ dog barking ]

That Buttons sure knows
when to get brave, don't he?

Lend me a hand, Slim.

The skin isn't broken.

That's quite a bump,
Mr. Colton.

Almost as big as the one
Mike got the day

he roped his first horse,
by mistake.

Oh, why'd you have to
bring that up for, Aunt Daisy?

Sure want to thank you
for what you did.

I can't say I did much,

except get in their way
a little bit.

You should have
seen him.

He dropped
that first one

with the best shot
I ever seen.

Pure luck.

As you said, he was still able
to ride out of here.

You know, it's a funny thing
about those braves.

They could have
killed you easy.

Seems like they were trying
to take you alive.

I can't think why.

I've never cared much
for Indians.

I had a spread about 80 miles
north of here.

Worked it up
from practically nothing.

Finally had to sell out
last week

just to keep from
getting raided all the time.

Yeah, I heard
they're pretty hard

to deal with up there.

You sold out?

You're leaving
the territory?

I hope so.

I'm here to meet the woman
who's foolish enough

to want to marry me.

You know, I thought
it might be something like that.

She's bound and determined
to live in San Francisco,

so I guess
that's the way it's got to be.

Troopers coming, Slim.

Walt Clayborne's patrol
or what's left of it.

Better get things ready,
Daisy,

looks like we got
some patching up to do.

Come along, Mike,
I need your help.

Looks like
they ran into a stone wall.

Yeah, or caught up with
something they weren't chasing.

Thanks, Slim.

How many in the war party,
Walt?

I'm not sure,
a dozen maybe.

They caught us
flat-footed.

Well, I thought a peace treaty
was being signed.

It was,

and we paid old Chetez
the full amount

of the Indian land claims.

That was day before yesterday.

Well, that sure
doesn't add up.

It's not like Chetez
to go back on his word.

Yeah, that's what
I thought, Slim.

Skenya was heading
the hostiles that hit us.

He's a sub chief
under Chetez.

Seen anything at the stage

when you were coming in,
Captain?

Mister, we hardly saw
the Sioux braves

that attacked us.

We're a little worried
about that stage, Walt.

We had a run-in
with some Indians, too.

Here at the ranch?

Yeah.

Something's going wrong,
real wrong.

Better get the wounded back
to the fort and report this.

Are they able to travel?

Daisy's dressing
their wounds.

I don't reckon
they can sit a horse.

You can take our wagon,
Walt.

And I'd appreciate it
if you take Daisy and Mike

into the fort with you.

That's a good idea, Slim.

But what about you?

We're responsible
for that stage.

Maybe they didn't let it leave
the station at Boulder City.

Yeah, maybe.
But what if they did?

There's a lot of country
between here and there.

I'll get fresh troops
and ride back as soon as I can.

If I were you,
I'd wait until we get back

before you go out
looking for that stage.

Wait!

Well, that may do for them,
but not for me.

I've seen too many people die
waiting for the army.

Nothing personal, Captain,
but I've seen it myself.

We'll be careful,
Walt.

Let's get everybody moving.

Whether you know it or not,

Walt's doing the best job
he can do.

Just like any man
in the army.

I'm sorry
if I ruffled his feathers.

But it's not his woman
out there on that coach.

Whether you know it or not,
I'm worried about it.

Well, save it,

'cause if those Indians
are still around

while we're looking
for that coach,

you'll have
plenty of chance to worry.

[ gunshots ]

[ Indians yelling ]

Things probably aren't
as bad as they seem, Daisy.

Give that to me, Mike.

Well, you and Mike
will be back tomorrow or,

well, few days at the most.

Well, we've had to do it
before.

I suppose we should be
used to it by now.

Well, now it's not
that bad.

Maybe not for us,
but Mike's different.

Slim,
do you honestly think that

that child should be
brought up like this?

Running at a moment's notice?

Never knowing what's going to
happen tomorrow?

Ah, it's all right,
Aunt Daisy, honest.

I even sort of like it.

And I suppose you like those
nightmares you've been having,

waking up scared
half to death.

Don't know what we can do
about it, Daisy.

You and Mike don't want to
live in town, do you?

Ready to move out, folks.

Captain's ordered me
to drive, ma'am.

Uh, yes, thank you,
sergeant.

I don't want to, Slim,

but in fairness to Mike,
I've got to think about it.

You understand?

Sure, Daisy.

Up you go.

Can we ride now?

Something wrong,
partner?

Can you think of
anything that's right?

Let's go
find us a stagecoach.

I still think it'd be better
to stick to the road.

That's where the coach
would be.

Yeah, and some Indians, too,
if they hit it.

Well, we can see more country
from the ridges,

longer stretches of road, too.

[ neighs ]

Hey, Slim!

Hey, Jess, over here.

Darby.

[ panting ]

You best clear out,
Slim.

Skenya,

six bucks,
they'll be back.

Now you take it easy,
we'll fix you up.

Not this time, Slim.

Where's Mrs. Darby?

In town,
and praise be.

Tell her...

Did you ask him
about the stage?

Shut up!

Tell her what, Darby?

Tell Nora...

I'm sorry about the way things
turned out.

He's dead.

Didn't know
he was a friend of yours.

So was his widow.

And his place
was just starting to pay off.

He said
it was Skenya again.

I can't figure out why Chetez
is letting him run wild.

You honestly think
that makes any difference?

While we're standing here
talking about the why of it,

those red sticks
could kill again.

I don't blame you
for being in a hurry, Colton.

But there's one thing
you've got to understand.

Finding that coach
depends on one thing.

What's that?

Finding out
what the Sioux are up to.

If this is a full-scale
uprising,

then we're probably cooked
right now.

If it's not,
we stand a fair chance.

You know, Slim,
maybe Mose was right.

About what?

He told me
on his last stage run,

he saw some smoke
coming from the burial grounds.

Well, if he's right,

that could explain
a lot of things.

They only burn fires
for a chief.

Well, they're not
too far off.

It'd be on our way,
maybe we'd better check it.

What has all this
got to do with us?

It could tell us
whether we stay alive or not.

We'd be better off
going in after dark.

Meantime,

anybody mind if we keep
looking for the stage?

Meantime,
we got something else to do.

Oh, yeah,
guess you're right.

I'll get something
to dig with.

[ water bubbling ]

We better tie up here.

These horses are not gonna go
for that boiling spring.

Smell of death.

Can't blame them for that.

Hey, Jess, over here.

What did you find?

Well, I hate to say it,

but you're looking at
Chetez's grave.

From what I can make out
on this marking,

it's not more than
a day or two old.

You sure?

I'm no expert at reading this
picture writing stuff of theirs,

but I know enough
that it's about Chetez.

Being a chief, they wrote down
a lot about him.

He was murdered, Jess.

Nothing strange about that.

Indians are always fighting
amongst themselves.

See these two lines with his,
next to the peace talk circle?

Probably a pair of sub-chiefs.

Right after the meeting
with the army,

all three of them were shot.

These markers
always make them out

like they're next
to the Almighty Himself.

Nobody has to lie
about Chetez.

He was worth
more than most white men.

[ creaking ]

Hold it!

Go cracking off
shots at ghosts

and you'll bring live scalpers
down on us.

Let's get out of here.

We will,

as soon as I can make
more sense out of this.

Well, this here is
our war marker, isn't it?

Yeah.

No wonder the Sioux
were wearing paint.

That treaty money was stolen
after the killing, Jess...

by a white man.

Are you sure, Slim?

Chetez lived long enough
to tell Toriano about it.

Toriano?

I thought he was supposed to
take over as chief.

Isn't that what the old man
was grooming him for?

Yeah, well,
it says here he will,

but not until he avenges
his father's murder.

And he's got to do it

according to the ritual
of his tribe.

What do you mean?

I don't know exactly.

But that killer
better be making tracks.

His dying won't be easy
if Toriano catches up with him.

[ owl hooting ]

Let's get out of here.

Hang on!

Slim,

troopers ought to know
about Chetez.

Yeah, I was thinking
about that, too.

If you're thinking
of turning back,

you'll do it
without me.

There's plenty of moonlight
to ride by,

and we've got a lot of ground
to cover to find that stage.

Yeah, and you can get
6 feet of that ground

if you go knocking
around here in the dark.

It'd be just
as bad going back.

We got to face facts,
we're in hostile country.

The going isn't easy
in the daylight, worse at night.

So you're just gonna
sit here in this place?

Sentinel Rock
isn't far from here.

Plenty of caves
to hide in.

And Walt said he was
bringing fresh troops up,

we can find him
in the morning.

At the same time,
we can look for that stage.

If we stick together,
we stand a chance.

Yeah,
you got a good point.

What about you, Colton?

You want to hole up
someplace close

or you want to stick around here
and get your throat cut?

Well,
without you two,

I'd probably fall
in a hole someplace.

I'll stick.Good.

We'll ride easy,
keep our eyes open.

Let's move.

[ horse neighing ]

Don't fight it!

You pull that trigger
and you won't live long.

This is between Harper and me,
move away.

No one
shoves me around.

Now look, there's no shortage
of Indians around here.

Anyone of us shoots
and we're all dead.

Use some sense, Colton.

I'm sorry.

I don't know
what's gotten into me.

I get all twisted up
every time

I think about Patty
on that stage.

Mister,
you better get untwisted.

We've got
enough problems

without fighting
among ourselves.

I know
it doesn't look like it, Slim,

but I really appreciate
what you and Jess are doing.

It's just that,

well, Patty means more to me
than anything I can tell you.

She's a lady.
She's--

Well,
I don't deserve her,

but I sure don't want to
lose her.

And we're trying to see
that you don't.

I want you
to cool down some.

You can take
the first watch.

Right.

Is that where
you're bedding down?

Yeah.

Yeah, Jess
and I'll grab some sleep

and one of us
will spill in an hour or two.

Shall I unsaddle
my horse first?

No, we better keep
them ready for riding.

That boulder up there is
a pretty good vantage point.

You just
keep your eyes open,

let us know if you hear
or see anything

that doesn't belong here.

Right.

Oh, and...

tell Jess I'm sorry,
will you?

Yeah.

Slim,
where is Colton going?

He's taking
the first watch.

First watch? You gone
clear out of your mind?

There's been no sign
of Indians

since we've left
the burial ground.

He'll make out
all right.

Yeah, and get our scalp
lifted in the bargain.

Look, all I'm trusting him
to do is

to stay awake
and keep his eyes open.

Well, you trust him,
I won't.

Why?

'Cause I got a feeling.

You saw the way he acted
back at the burial ground.

You ever see a rancher
worth his salt treat

a horse like that?

Sure, I know he's worried
about that stage and all,

but I'm not turning my back
on him anymore, that's for sure.

Yeah, I think
you're dead right, Jess.

You what?

I said
I think you're right.

What do you think
he's out there for?

Only way I could think
of to talk to you

and see
what you were thinking.

Well, what do you figure
on doing about it?

Look in those
fancy saddlebags of his.

We might get some answers.

[ cocks gun ]

[ cocks gun ]

He was sitting around here
all night, Slim.

You watch for their gunfire.

Cover me, huh?

We hit him,
there's blood.

[ cocks gun ]

Get down!

They were on top of me
before I knew it.

Well, looks like
we've discouraged them for now.

Let's get out of here

before they bring
their friends in.

Just where do you figure
we're going?

As far as our mounts
can carry us.

Hole up in a cave someplace
and hope we stay in one piece.

Now come on.

They go, Toriano.

Let them go.

Their trail will be easy
to follow by daylight.

We go on alone?

No, but it will
change nothing.

He will die as I avowed.

Where were you when you heard
the firing, sergeant?

Over the ridge, sir,

checking on
our advanced guard.

Shot sounded like it came
from near Sentinel Peak.

That's rough country.

I wouldn't want to be
caught up there at night.

You know,
that might be Sherman

and Harper
looking for the stage.

Captain,
shall I call out the men?

A burial detail
might be more to the point.

But I thought Sherman
and Harper were your friends?

They are.

But so are these men.

I can't risk a dozen lives
to save two.

If there are two left.

Have the men ready to move out
at the first crack of dawn.

Yes, sir.

Captain, I'd like to take
a try at it, sir.

I can take
a couple of scouts and--

How long
have you been out west?

Well, sir, I was stationed up
north at Fort Warren

for 3 months.

Three months, huh?Yes, sir.

In the field?

No, sir, not exactly.

I was mess officer.

You'd better
get some sleep, son.

Tomorrow's gonna be
a long day.

Yes, sir.
Goodnight, sir.

Goodnight.

You were right.

This isn't much of a place
to camp,

but if we hadn't pulled up,

those horses would have
dropped right in their tracks.

You know, that's twice now

the Sioux could have
shot him and didn't.

Yeah.

You know,
he's either mighty lucky

or he sure knows
something we don't.

And we'd better find out.

That's just
what I'm gonna do.

Colton, there's something
I want to talk to you about.

Sure, Jess.

I got something
on my mind, too.

I've got quite a lot of money
in those saddlebags.

Of course, it's not the complete
sale price of my ranch,

but it's a lot of money
for a man

whose luck could change.

What do you mean exactly?

Well, those red sticks
have come close

to nailing me twice.

Next time,
they could make it.

Yeah, that's something
to think about.

Maybe I'm wrong,
but I have a feeling

that those, those hostiles
are just toying with us,

like a cat with a mouse.

Otherwise,
we'd already be dead.

So what's your point?Simple.

Either one of you make it
out of this alive and I don't,

I'd be obliged

if you'd see that
that money got to Patty.

Well, there's nothing
saying that

Jess or I are going to
get through either.

I've seen you in action.

You've got a lot more going
for you than I do.

Her picture's in here.

If she's not on the stage,
she'll be in Boulder City.

Will you do it?

Sure, if we have to.

Thanks, Slim.

You want to
ask me something, Jess?

No, forget it,
it'll keep.

Colton, wait!

You don't know
what's down there.

I know the stage is.

Yeah, and what else?

Look, we'll spread out.

Move in slow.

Let him go, Slim.

He's got to find out
sooner or later.

Pat!

Pat.

Pat, anybody but you.

She's alive!
Bring some water!

[ gunshots ]

Let's get out of here.

Colton, get down.

[ Indians yelling ]

Behind you, Colton.

[ clicks ]

[ bugle sounds ]

No wonder
they pulled out.

Well, he said
she was still alive.

Let's see
what we can do for her.

I'll get some water.

Too late for her.

You and Harper all right?

Yeah.

You can forget that,
Jess.

We pushed hard as soon as
we heard the shooting.

Well, Colton was right
about one thing.

She looked to be
a fine woman.

Judging from what you found
at the Sioux burial grounds

that's probably the only
right thing he told you.

You seem to know
a lot about him.

I do now.

Before we left the fort
yesterday,

I got the whole story on him.

From who?

Provost Marshal rode in
from up north.

It seems Colton was
selling guns to the Arapahos

until they caught him
with one of their women.

Army was gonna arrest him,

but he cleared out so fast

he didn't leave
enough tracks to trip an ant.

Then he wasn't
a ranch owner.

He may have raided a few
on his way down here,

but that's as close
he ever came to owning one.

You figure
he killed Chetez?

No doubt about it.

He probably heard
in one of the Indian camps

that Chetez was getting money
from the government

for signing the treaty.

So he waited his chance
and killed him for it.

I wished I'd known.

When I think of the times
I had him

in front of my gun
in the past 24 hours.

Yeah, I was thinking
the same thing, Jess.

I don't know, maybe it's--
maybe it's better this way.

Well, there's one thing,

those Indians didn't go to
the trouble of taking him alive

to give him an easy death.

Now that's just the reason
we've got to get him back.

Well, maybe
I should feel sorry for him,

but somehow I don't.

Captain, the men are ready
to ride, sir.

All right, mount up.Yes, sir.

You see, it isn't the case
of feeling sorry for him, Jess.

If those hostiles
make a tribal rite
out of Colton's death,

it could be the start
of an all-out war
against the whites.

It's not going to be easy
getting him out.

It's got to be done.

Well, if that's the case,
I think I know a good place
to look for him.

SKENYA:
See the brave Toriano.

He captures but one.

I burned,

I stopped the white man's coach
and I killed

to prove that
I should be your chief.

There's only one way
to prove

who will stand
in my father's place.

[ screaming ]

Are there any others
among you like Skenya?

I shall not be chief,
until the killer of Chetez,

my father,
has died as I have said.

Tie him to the poles.

No!

No!

No, Toriano.

I didn't mean to kill him.

It was an accident,
I swear.

The tongue of a liar
is never still.

Think you can stop him, Jess,
without warning him too much?

I can try.

Toriano,
you're surrounded.

Glad to see you, Jess.

Save your breath.

If it was up to me, I'd have
put a bullet in you long ago.

Tell them
to put down the guns.

You'll be treated fairly
if you surrender.

You have my word on it.

We must accept
word of horse soldier.

There is no other way
for us.

As much as I'd like to,
Toriano,

I can't let you
have your way with him.

It'd destroy everything
Chetez worked so hard for.

My father is dead.

Why do you deny me

the right to settle
with his murderer?

Because it wouldn't stop there,
and you know it.

I know you saved
the piece of crow-bait.

We've saved
more than that.

You got
your treaty money back.

It belongs to you now.

There can be no treaty
between us until he is dead.

Why let a fool
stand in the way of the peace?

This man killed for money
he'll never have.

Even the woman he planned
to spend it on is dead.

That's a lie.

She's dead, all right.

Just as if you killed her
yourself.

Talk means nothing
while he lives.

Toriano, you've seen
the white man's gallows.

You figure
that's an easy way to die?

It is for cowards.

Indian brethren born
and die on the rope.

Unless I missed my guess,
that's the way he's gonna die.

You have my word on it.

There isn't a military court
in the land

that'll let him
slip out of this.

No one's gonna hang me!

When I go,
it'll be on my terms!

Now move back
all of you!

You've only got
two shots there, Colton.

You'll never make it
out of here alive.

Maybe I won't,
but maybe I'll--

[ gun fires ]

Get up.

He'll die a hundred times,
Toriano,

just waiting
for that rope.

You want to follow
your father's ways?

Let this be his revenge.

You men pick up
those rifles.

All right, let's go.

Hey, Mike and Daisy
must have beat us back.

Where have you been?

We've been worried
about you!

Well, where do you think
we've been,

to a Sunday
school picnic?

Where's Daisy?In the house.

We heard about
what happened at the fort,

so we thought
it was safe to come home.

Help Jess unsaddle,
Mike.

Okay.

Give me a hand,
tiger.

Hi, Daisy.

How are you?

Just fine, Slim.

Mike and I were
so happy to hear

that you help put down
the uprising.

Oh, we were lucky.

It's too bad that one man
can cause all that trouble.

Certainly is.

You know something?

Sometimes it takes
an upheaval to make us realize

that what we have
is worth fighting for.

Does that mean
that you and Mike

aren't going to
move into town?

Are you trying
to get rid of us?

[ chuckling ]

JESS: Hey, Slim.

Get this tiger,
will you?

[ laughing ]

Hi, Daisy.

What's for supper?

Uh, after all
that's happened,

all you can think
of is eating.

Oh, I'm sorry.
How are you, Daisy?

And what's for supper?

[ laughing ]
