Well let's see now.

Two pounds of flapjack flour, a slab of bacon,

half pound of coffee.

That all, Mr. Yuma?

Just about all.

Hey, Mr. Hawkins I've been asking a question

in every town I hit, and all it's got me so far

was a bunch of blank looks.

You ever hear of a woman

named Jenny Buford and her daughter Laurie?

What do you want Laurie for?

Well I want to see her.

Keep a promise I made to her father.

What kind of promise?

Well he asked me to try and find her.

Do what I could to look after her.

You're a little late for that.

Late?

Why is she dead?

Better off if she was, far better.

Yuma, if you could put a smile

on Laurie Buford's face right now,

you can make the sun rise in the west.

Couple of days from now she's going to be married.

Married?

How old is she?

I thought she was about...

She'll be 17 May the 10th.

17, seems old enough to know her own mind.

She does.

But if she tries to back out of that wedding now,

she won't get one day older.

Not one day older.

She learns things real fast, too.

Any time I ask her to do anything, she do it.

Yeah, that's what I figured.

When she comes out, do you mind if I speak to her alone?

Well you just go ahead and do that, Mr. Yuma.

If you don't mind that me and Billy Joe here

keeps you company.

Laurie!

You come out here!

Mr. Yuma here has something for you from your pa.

I warrant it ain't much.

Hello Laurie.

Laurie?

Come here.

That there is your two dollar wedding dress you've got on.

Ain't you got it on kinda early?

Hm?

It's all I've got that's decent for company, Billy Joe.

I'm not company, Laurie, just a friend of your father's.

Mr. Yuma, what'd my pa look like?

What any man look like who's run off from his wife

when she's expecting.

He didn't run out on her, Laurie.

They just lost track of each other

when he went to California looking for gold,

but he never found it.

But how'd Pa know about me?

About where I was?

All he knew was that your mother

promised to name you Laurie if you were born a girl.

That's what he wanted most, a girl.

Mr. Yuma, my tears are salting up

this stew something fierce.

It was just a wild chance that I'd ever find you, Laurie.

But, these are from him.

He wanted you to have them.

Ain't that touching?

- A wedding... - Excuse me.

Come forward now to be joined.

Therefore, if any man can show just cause

why these two may not lawfully be joined together,

let him speak now or forever here...

Reverend.

I can show just cause.

Yuma.

You get out of this church.

You're assuming a great responsibility, Mr. Yuma.

Reverend, this girl isn't here because she wants to be.

She come here of her own free will.

Ain't nobody made her do it.

That's a lie, Kincaid.

She didn't come here to love or to honor

like it says in that book.

She came here to obey.

Obey, that's the only word you ever taught her, Kincaid.

And sometimes I wonder if you didn't whip it into her.

Y'all gonna listen to him or to me?

Who's paying you the two dollars?

Laurie.

Mr. Kincaid, marriage is a blessed sacrament

to be entered into willingly.

I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me.

You...

Yuma.

Get on your feet, boy.

Come on, get!

Now get in the wagon, both of ya.

There's other churches, and other preachers.

You find one, Kincaid, and I'll be there waiting.

You just do that, Mr. Yuma.

Front of a church is as good a place as any for you to die.

He means it.

He'll kill you if you try to stop him again.

Well I'll stop something.

A wedding or a bullet.

Frank, how long have you been

standing around loving that girl, dying by inches?

Just doing what she asked me to do,

keeping my distance.

Got a note from her saying I was to forget her.

Not to try and see her anymore ever.

That's not what her eyes were saying back there in church.

Did you ask her why she wanted you to stay away?

I went out to Kincaid's place.

She wouldn't talk to me.

Why not?

I don't know.

Hobie ordered me to leave, and when I didn't

he grabbed me with those big arms of his, like a bear does,

and he hugged me unconscious.

Guess he came pretty close to killing me.

What's the nearest church from here?

Bannock, 20 miles north.

How do I get on the road to Bannock?

It's that way, first road you come to.

You think they'll go to Bannock tonight?

Yeah, just as soon as they patch up their bridegroom.

When do we leave?

We?

Didn't you hear what Kincaid said when he was leaving here?

I'm not scared of him, Johnny.

Well that makes just one of us who isn't,

and one target's enough for Kincaid.

Whatever happens here girl, your eyes are closed to it.

You never saw it, and you won't talk about it, not ever.

You seem to be just about everywhere, Mr. Yuma.

You some kind of a nightcrawler too?

Where's the groom to be, Kincaid?

Wasn't he able to make it?

Take a look, Yuma.

Let's get rid of that gun, now.

You're doing the calling.

As long as I'm calling, let's walk on over there

by Uncle Hobie and be good.

Other side.

All right, let's get over there by that tree.

I want to take him home.

All right, get his feet.

Mr. Kincaid don't kill him, please.

Don't you think it's about time

you called me Uncle Hobie girl?

I'll call you that, only let's go, don't kill him!

I'm gonna take you home girl,

and I'm gonna see that justice is done to this killer.

Nine, 10, full load.

You can see Billy Joe never fired it.

Go on, smell the breach,

look down that barrel.

Clean as a whistle.

It's clean.

That rifle was fired about six times.

First at my feet, then point blank at my head.

He was hiding in the bushes,

and he shot Billy Joe down cold.

If you men believe that, then go ahead and hang me.

You men are my neighbors.

We hold together.

Didn't we ride vigilante before the war?

Jake, didn't we hang a man for burning down your barn?

Clem, didn't you even pull a rope on a horse thief yourself?

It's our duty to mete out justice.

Ask Kincaid who shot the heel off my boot, go ahead.

Ask him that.

Just how did he lose it, Hobie?

Now how would I know how he lost it?

More likely it fell off.

Did I ask you how your barn burned?

You saw it burn down, Hobie.

We didn't see this man shoot Billy Joe.

Well you see me, don't you?

You hear me telling you he did it.

You take my word, like we've always done.

Let's get on with the verdict.

One murdering tramp more or less don't mean nothing.

You raise your right hand to vote guilty.

Any man voting innocent can count me

as an enemy from now on, a real enemy.

Why didn't he bring Laurie Buford along

to tell what really happened?

Ask him that.

Then see if you want to change your votes.

Votes are all in, Yuma.

We had to vote guilty,

but we don't have to stay and watch this.

Jake, we all gonna watch.

I want this done in proper vigilante style.

Rig it up.

Kincaid.

He'll whip me unconscious, so I couldn't be there

to stop what they're gonna do to Johnny Yuma.

Can you walk?

Oh what if he sees us together?

Don't worry.

He stopped us from being together for the last time.

Kincaid?

Cut him down.

I'll blast you in half if you don't hurry.

Laurie tell 'em what you saw.

Well...

Billy Joe tried to bushwhack Mr. Yuma

and shoot him down cold,

but he died trying.

You tell 'em you're just making that up.

You tell 'em the truth, you hear?

Billy Joe never even had a chance to fire that rifle.

Why, he cleaned Billy Joe's rifle

then reloaded it.

He said if I told anybody, he'd kill me.

Girl, you know I never threatened you in all the years...

You branded her.

Like an animal.

She's bought and paid for.

You scum!

I paid for her with hard cash.

She belongs to me 'til she works off 100 dollars.

Nobody owns anybody, Kincaid!

Her ma was my bound woman.

I've got that in writing.

She promised to work until Laurie growed up

to pay for what she owed me.

Yes, but you worked Ma to death!

And then you made me finish out the rest of the time.

Your ma was carrying you girl when I took her in.

When I bought her I paid for both!

I should be free now I'm growed up.

But you wanted to be sure you still had a housekeeper.

He said he'd kill me if I didn't marry Billy Joe.

You wouldn't stay away from her.

I know.

Maybe this will buy her a new dress.

Well that'll be on the house, Johnny.

It's really not proper for the groom's family

to buy the bride a wedding dress, you know?

Besides, I made a promise to a friend.

I'd like to feel that it was kept.
