[ Cowboys Whooping,
Whistling ]

[ Whinnying ]

Good morning.

Good afternoon.

You've been falling into
some bad habits since
the judge has been away.

The beauty editor
of Godey'ssays...

that a young lady
must have her full 10 hours.

Well, the beauty editor
of Godey'swasn't brought
up on a working ranch.

Besides, I thought
you wanted to come out
with us this morning--

- Help us bring in the horses.
- Oh, I decided to write
a letter to Daddy.

But I saw the horses come in.
They're beautiful.

Most of 'em will make
good cavalry mounts.

Then the deal's set?
Daddy got the contract?

- Well, not yet,
but I'm sure he will.
- [ Horse Whinnies ]

Whoa, ho, ho.
Howdy, Miss Betsy.

Sorrowful.

Afternoon.

You're a little ahead
of schedule, aren't you?

Well, I made a lucky catch.

I've got these and three more
back at my place,

but they won't be gentled down
for a day or so,

and a man can't break horses
on an empty stomach.

So I figured I'd bring over
what I had ready.

You know, a dollar
doesn't go as far
as it used to anymore.

They look all right to me.

Turn 'em over the wrangler,
and he'll give you
a receipt--

- Unless you want cash
this time.
- No, no.

As long as your paper
is still good down
at the Mercantile,

then it's good enough for me.

Thank you.
Come on, baby.
Come on.

Come on, honey.
Come on.

Tell me something.

Why do we buy horses
from him every month
when we raise our own?

Couple of reasons,
Betsy.

Gives us a good price,
saves us the trouble
of breakin' 'em ourselves...

and for another thing,
it's the only way he's got
of makin' a living.

Breaking them?
I thought that
was a young man's job.

It is, but they say
there's an exception
to every rule.

[ Whooping ]

Hah![ Whinnying ]

Yee-hoo.

Hah! Hah!

[ Shouting ]

[ Grunts, Groans ]

Are you all right?Oh, yeah.

[ Chuckles ]
I'm fine.You know somethin'?

You can't be trusted.Oh, Clint.

No, Pa. I mean it.
I turn my back for five minutes,
you're up on one of them broncs.

You promised
you'd leave that to me.All right, Clint.

All right. I promise.

Except for that bay,
they're all broke anyhow.
[ Chuckles ]

Hey, uh, you looked
in your saddlebags lately?

What for?Well, go on,
look in your saddlebag.

Go on.

[ Chuckles ]

Go on.

Open it.

Huh. Happy birthday, Son.

[ Chuckles ]
Why, I'd forgotten.

Aw, that's
real pretty, Pa.

Oh-- Just-- Just a knife.

Not very much to show
for 21 years, is it?

I got everything
I need, Pa--

Everything I want.[ Chuckles ]

Come on.
[ Clears Throat ]

Miss Betsy.
Goin' into town?

Oh, just riding.
How do you find 'em,
Sorrowful?

What?The wild broncs.

Trampas says that you
must have a divining rod
that works on horses.

Well, Trampas might be right.

And Randy says that you
sell us our own horses
over and over again.

Well, Randy might be right too.

You see, I got
this magic formula,

and I just rub it
into the horse's shoulder,

and the Shiloh brand
plumb disappears.

[ Laughs ]
Daddy says it's just
that you're...

the best horse hunter
in the whole territory.

A girl can't go wrong
listening to her daddy.

You know what I think,
Sorrowful?

I think that you found
that herd of broncs...

that's supposed to roam
up in the mountains.
Oh, I know.

I'm probably wrong.
But, still, a lot of people
think that they're up there.

But no one's ever
found them, Miss Betsy.

And no one ever will--

Because they don't exist.

I'll see you
in a few days.

Thanks for lettin' me
keep you company.

You know, Miss Betsy,
I'd be careful...

about riding too far up
in those hills,
if I were you.

They get kinda tricky
unless you know them.

Thank you, Sorrowful.

[ Horse Whinnies ]

[ Whinnying Continues ]

[ Whinnying Continues ]

- [ Betsy ]
Look out!
- [ Whinnying ]

[ All Whinnying ]

Whoo.
My, that was close.

Do you always try
to rope horses on foot?

I-I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to scare 'em.

I guess I didn't realize.

- Uh, my name is Betsy Garth.
- From Shiloh?

Well, yes.
Have we met before?

How did you get up here?

Well, to-- to be honest,
I really didn't know
how far I was.

I saw this wild mustang
down in the flatlands,
started to chase him,

and before I realized
how far in the mountains
he'd taken me,

here I was.

I, uh-- I'm sorry
about wandering in
just at the wrong moment.

Are you alone?Well, yes.

You got no business
being this far up in
the mountains by yourself.

Well, I know that,
but like I told you,

I didn't realize
how far he was taking me.

It'll be getting dark soon.
You better head back.

You do know
the way back down,
don't you?

Well, I think
I can find my way.

Good.

[ Animal Growls ]

He's been coming out
at night.

He brought down a horse
two days ago.

You better move fast.

You dohave a saddle gun?

All right. Come on.

Where are we going?To my place.

I can't do that.
They'll be worried about me
back at Shiloh.

I don't see that
you have any choice.

Well, what's this?

Uh, my name
is Betsy Garth,

and I was explaining
to him that--She's lost, Pa.

So you invited her up here
for a cup of tea, huh?

Where did you get
your brains?

Phew.

[ Knocking ]Come in.

Looks pretty good
sittin' behind
the judge's desk, don't he?

Yeah, well, at least
it keeps him out
from under our feet.

You boys want something?

Uh, did Betsy say
where she was goin'...

when she rode off today?Oh, you mean
she's not back yet, huh?

Mm-mmm.

Well, why don't you two
ride out a ways?

You'll probably meet her
comin' home.

Uh, Trampas?Yo.

Take another couple of boys
with you, if you want.

Right.

Why, it's unbelievable--

A house up here,
hidden from down below.

You could wander through
these hills for days
and never find this place.

That's how we like it.How long have you
lived up here?

You want something to eat?
Come on inside.

Don't you ever
answer any questions?

Don't you ever do
anything but ask 'em?

Well, you can, uh,
rest if you want to.

I'll fix something.

I, uh-- I'm sorry
your father was annoyed
because you brought me here.

I'll-- I'll try
not to get in the way.Here. Start on this.

Well, I'm not any happier
about this than you are.

And it wasn't my idea.
I could have found
my own way back.

Yeah, and that cat
could have found you.

Well, from the way
everybody's behaving,

it would have been much better
if I'd have taken that chance.

Look, if I wanted to tangle
with a mountain lion
at night,

I'd have taken you
down myself.

I wouldn't take that risk
with a rifle,

so I couldn't very well
let you go wandering
about the country unarmed.

If, uh, my father
seems a little edgy,

it's because
he's not used to strangers.

I'm sorry. Again.

- I don't suppose you get
many visitors up here.
- We don't get any.

May I help?I can do it.

Please. I'd like to.

Well, here's the skillet.

No sign of her.
Didn't see anybody
on the road.

All right.
Get every man mounted.

Spread out.
Cover as much ground as you can.
I'm riding into town.

There's always the off chance
she might have gone into
Medicine Bow...

without telling anyone.Doesn't sound like Betsy.

Well, I said
it was an off chance.

If she's not there,
maybe the sheriff
can give us some help.

You gonna
wire the judge?

Not until I'm sure
we're not making a mountain
out of a molehill.

Whew. Well, I only know
one thing.

If she goes back and talks,

the whole countryside's
gonna be swarming
up these hills.

Yeah, but she
has to go back.

They'll be up here
just the same,
looking for her.

Yeah, I know.

Just that I figured--

Well, that we could
stop running.

We're not running yet.

Her father owns
the biggest ranch
in these parts.

Got more men
and more money--

They find out that herd
really is up here--
Phew.

Do we have
any other choice?

No. No, of course not.

She know anything else,
besides the fact
there's a herd up here?

No.

Well, in the morning
she can find her way back.

Pa?

I felt sorry for her-- Mm-hmm.

Just the same as I would
for an animal that
couldn't protect itself.

Yeah, well, that's
a fine sentiment, Son.

Tomorrow you can start
feelin' sorry for us.

You're all saddled up.
You can leave any time
you're ready.

- [ Gunshot ]
- Hmm.

- Close. Pretty nervy.
- The lion?

Mountain lion getting
that close to the house--

He must have been
pretty hungry.

Guess you did the right thing
yesterday, deciding
to come up here.

Well, I think it was,
under the circumstances.

Mister--
You've never
told me your name.

Jones.I appreciate the fact...

that you've
put yourself out for me.

If there's ever anything
that I can do,
or my father--

Well, I certainly
appreciate that thought, miss,

but just off hand
I can't think of anything.

Clint and I live
kind of a quiet life up here.

We just want
to go on living it...

alone.

Well-- Thank you.

There-- There is
one thing.

What?No--

No, I guess
I better forget it.

Oh, please.
I'd like to know.

Well, I haven't got
any right to ask you.

I mean, you've got friends
and a family.

They'll be worried about you.
Want to know where
you've been.

I don't suppose
you ever told a lie
in your life, have you?

Are you asking me
not to tell where I've been?

Well, I haven't got any right
to ask you to do anything,

but I just wanted you
to understand...

that these hills
and that herd of horses
is all we have.

[ Horse Whinnying ]

The herd's still there.

They'll be grazing
down this way
for a while.

Good.Got the cat.

Mmm.We heard.

I thought you'd be
long gone by now.

I was just leaving.Uh, could you, uh--

Could you wait for
just a minute while
I get something to eat?

I'll ride with you.Think I can wait.

Have you lost your mind?

The horses are ready
to go down to Sorrowful.

As long as I have to go,
why can't we ride together?

All right.
But just as far
as the flatlands.

You ready?

My mother.

I'm sorry.

The winters are hard
up this high.

- She died the first year.
- How long have you lived here?

A long time.

You wanna get home,
let's get going.

What's the matter?

Those mountains--

They'll fool you.

Look at 'em from one side,
and they're like the walls
of a giant fortress,

keeping all your enemies
at a safe distance.

- From the other side?
- A giant prison.

You can leave
if you want to.

There's something
I have to ask you.
I don't want to.

Are you gonna tell?

- You mean about
the wild broncs?
- The broncs and us.

If I'm asked,
I don't see how
it can be avoided.

Right. Rule number one:
Look out for yourself.

No, it isn't that
at all, Clint,

but there are certain people
that have a right to know
where I was.

And all those horses will mean
all that money for you
and your father.

Do you really
believe that, Clint?

Do you really
believe that?

You better get back.

[ Rattling ]

[ Betsy Screams ]

What happened?A rattler.

I went to
pick up the reins,
and I didn't see him.

It's gotta bleed.[ Sobbing ]

[ Groans ]

[ Kicking Door ]

Snakebite.Through that door.

A rattler?Mm-hmm.

That's Betsy's mare.

You wait here.
I'll go tell
the rest of the boys.

How is she, Doc?I just gave her
a sedative,

but you can see her
if you want to.Thanks.

He saved her life, Emmett.

Hmm.

You, uh, new in town here?I'm just passing through.

Mmm. All right.
Where'd you find her?

Uh, up in the hills.
Her horse ran away
with her.

How far up in the hills?I gotta be going.

Hold-- Wait a minute.
Where can I get
in touch with you?

Wait a minute.
Now, wait, wait, wait.Look, mister--

Have I done
anything wrong?

I mean, is it
against the law...

to bring a girl to
a doctor in this town?

Nope.

[ Clopping Hooves ]

Evening, Doc.Evening.

She's right in there
on the couch.Oh.

Hello, Dr. Spaulding.Doc.

Well, she seems to be
in good enough spirits.

Can we get
that sleeve rolled up?

We can.Go on. Ask the doc.

He'll tell you
it's the truth.Tell him what's the truth?

Oh, about that dead snake
they found on the road
into town.

Oh, you mean the one
that was people-poisoned.Uh-huh.

I'm not listening
to a word you're saying.[ Chuckles ]

Just stand still,
mister.

I'd say as soon
as the swelling goes down,

you won't even remember
you were bitten.

I'll remember, all right.Oh, really?

I thought the whole incident
was a total blank.

I wish you wouldn't
behave as if I was on
the witness stand.

Betsy, I'm gonna have to
explain this to your father
when he gets back,

and I've got a right
to know how it happened.I know you do,

but, well, I just have to have
some time to think, that's all.

[ Sighs ] [ Door Opens ]

Clint!

You know this fella?Yeah, we all do.

- You can put
that gun away, Randy.
- Are you sure?

When I caught him out by
the corral, he was trying
to steal them mustangs.

He doesn't have
to steal them.
They're his.

- How do you know that?
- Can't you take
my word for it?

- The horses are his.
- We found your mare
runnin' in with 'em.

That's because I was riding
my mare when I was bitten
by the rattler.

Oh? He told them
that he found you
wandering around on foot,

and your horse
had run off.

Well, I-- I-I just
can't explain it.

All I can ask is that
you believe that the horses
are his, and trust me.

All right, take 'em.

Clint, wait a minute.

- You still need horses,
don't you?
- All we can get.

And these are for sale,
aren't they, Clint?

- Yeah.
- We pay $10 a head.

- All right.
- If you'll let me know
where to send the money--

Cash. Now.

Well, I'll be headin'
for home.

I'll walk out with you.

Any, uh, special
instructions, Doc?No, she's fine now.

Just treat her
as if it never happened.

I will-- After I get
the answers to some
very pointed questions.

[ Chuckles ]Good night.

[ Spaulding ]
Good night. [ Door Closes ]

Now, young l--

Betsy. Betsy Garth!

Good night, all.

Nice goin'.
Next time I want
to find out something,

I'll let you do
the asking for me.

Night, all.

How are you this morning?

Uh, fine, thank you.

Going riding
again this morning,
without any breakfast?

Well, I--
I'm not very hungry.

Sit down, Betsy.
We've got some things
to talk about.

I... wish we didn't.

So do I.

Betsy, I don't want
to have to lay down
a set of rules...

or impose restrictions on you
till your father gets back,

but I'm gonna have to do
just that unless
you can tell me...

what's been going on
the last few days.

Well, suppose I tell you
that it's important--

very, very important--

that I don't answer
any questions right now.

Well, I'd have
to ask you why.

Well, because
the wrong answer could
hurt someone very badly.

I wouldn't want that.

All right, Betsy.

On one condition--

When you find out
what the right answers are,
you come to me.

Thank you.

[ Door Closes ]

Coffee?

Bacon?No, thanks.

It's gonna choke you, Son.Sorry?

Whatever it is you got
caught in your throat--

If you don't spit it out,
it's gonna choke you.

I went into town
yesterday.

I thought you and I
had an agreement.

I thought we had
an understanding--

years ago--
that we didn't need towns.

We didn't need people.
You and I could make it alone,
just the two of us.

I guess you don't
remember how many times
we tried it in towns, huh?

Sometimes it took 'em months.
Sometimes the very first day.

But it always happened.

There was always one of 'em.
Hmm?

One of those kind
that hang around
the marshal's office,

studying the posters
so that one day...

they'll spot a face
and strike it rich.

Cooper. Morton Cooper.

Well, Mr. Cooper,
what can I do for you?

Question is, Mr. Ryker,
what can I do for you?

Remember that young man
that brought Miss Garth
into Dr. Spaulding's office?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I remember him.So do I.

Of course, I have to admit,
it took me a little while
to place him.

You ever heard of a man
named Martin Evers?

No.Then I suggest
you check your files.

[ Galloping Hooves ]

How did you get here?

Wasn't hard,
once I knew the landmarks.

- Why?
- What?

- Why did you come back?
- To say thank you.

Well, are you, uh,
going to ask me down,
or would you rather go riding?

I'll race you
to the top of the ridge.

Why'd you
come back here?Told you. To say thank you.

You could have done that
when I was at your house.[ Chuckles ]

All right, I'll admit
I was a little curious.

About what?

Oh, about the wild horses
and your father.

And me?

That man
the other night--

The one that
gave me the money.
Is he your brother?

Is he your boyfriend?No, he's our ranch foreman.

Oh, he works
for your daddy.

No wonder he did
what you told him.

No, it doesn't work that way--
Not with the Virginian.

He trusted me.Why?

Because I ask him to,
and because I never gave him
any reason not to.

There they are.

[ Betsy ]
Well, there's dozens of them.

I thought you said
it was just a small cavvy.

Well, I didn't know
what else tosay.

Oh, boy, we've been
after them for so long.

So far we've been
picking them off
one at a time,

but someday--

Someday we're going to drive
them all right into that canyon.

- Alone?
- Even half of 'em
would be enough.

We'll be able to get
out of these mountains.

Start our ranch.

Clint, have you ever tried
getting some help?
Hiring some men?

What's wrong?

Nobody but you
has ever been up here.

Just you and a friend.

Nobody ever will be.

Is that friend named Sorrowful?

- How'd you know that?
- Oh, arithmetic.

I just put three
and three together.

You catch the mustangs
and break 'em for him,
and Sorrowful sells 'em for you.

- How did you find this place?
- Same way you did.

By accident.

We traveled a lot,
my mother
and my father and me.

One day we just
wandered in here
and settled down.

If you don't like it,
why do you stay here?

Best get back.

Emmett! Come on in.Hello, Betsy.

How you feeling?Fine.

You know, I was just
thinking of you,
and here you are.

You were thinking of me?
Why?

Come on inside.

Sit down.

All right, Betsy.
[ Clears Throat ]
Now what can I do for you?

Do you know a man
by the name of Evers?

Uh, Evers? Evers--

- That's, uh, E-V-E-R-S?
- E-V-E-R-S.

Prospector--
Up around Laramie.

He killed his partner
five years ago.

Well, Laramie--
You-- You wouldn't
know too much about that.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Happens I know
quite a lot about it.

Let's see now.
His partner's name
was Jenkins.

They were out prospecting,

when a big fire broke out
near their camp.

Looked like it covered
the whole mountain.

Nobody could go near it
till it burned out.

Then they found Jenkins.

And when they picked him up,
they found that there was
a bullet hole in his back.

Then they found
Martin Evers's horse
and his rifle,

with a bullet
missing from it.

Three days later
he came walking into town...

without a hair on his head
so much as even singed.

They had to put him in jail
so there wouldn't be
a lynching.

And it gets worse.
He broke out
before the trial.

Short time later,
his wife and son
moved out of town.

Emmett, how do you know
all these things?

Oh, I, uh-- I don't know.

It's a combination
of a good memory, uh,

uh, a good filing system,
and a long talk...

with a fella who
used to live in Laramie.

- Well, does that, uh,
help you any?
- What?

- The information.
- Oh! Oh, yes.

Good. Good.
Then I'll be on my way.

See you later, Betsy.Emmett--

You haven't, uh,
told me what you wanted.

Oh, that's right,
I didn't, did I?

Let me see now.

Uh, well, if I can't remember,
it must not be important, huh?

Oh, there's one thing.
One thing.

That young fella helped you
into Doc Spaulding's
the other day--

Uh, what about him?

Have you seen him again?

Should I have?

In legal language, Betsy,
that's what we call
"an evasive answer."

Now, if a man gets nervous
talking to a lawman,
he could be in trouble.

That's a good kind
to stay away from.

Unless he happens
to have saved your life.

Yeah.

What do you say, Randy?Howdy.

Hi, Betsy.
Letter from the judge.Thanks, Randy.

You're welcome.

Thought you'd be anxious
to read it.

Well, so long.

Come on inside.

What are you
lookin' for?

The name--
I had thought it was Evers.

Not Jones?Not Jones.

- And now?
- Well, now I know
it is Evers--

Martin Evers.

Does that, uh--
that name have any
special meaning for you?

Apparently it does.

Clint,
it's time to move.

Move? Where?

Use your head, Son.

Been building up to this
ever since you first
brought her up here.

Clint, you're
a big boy now.

You don't need me
to look after you.

Stay if you want to.

Mr. Evers--

You didn't do it, did you--
Kill your partner?

Would that make
any difference now?

Well, have you ever thought
of giving yourself up?

[ Chuckles ]

It's a big pink-and-blue
ribbon world to you,
isn't it, honey?

Truth conquers all.

Good triumphs
over evil, huh?

No.

We haven't got
much time, Son.

You, uh, decide what
you want to do yourself.

Pa?

We-We'll need some money.
I'll see if we can--

I'll see if I can
round up some broncs.

May I come with you?

Could I stop you?

[ Blusters ]Nice and easy,
now, boy, all right?

Now, now, now.

Now. Whoa, now.
Whoa, boy.

Whoa, boy.

Whoa.

Whoa, boy.

Hah![ Whinnies ]

[ Shouting ]

Pa! Pa!

He needs
a doctor, Clint.

I'll stay here with him.
You ride into town.

No.

I don't want
anybody from town.

If I'm gonna live,
I'm gonna stay free.

If I'm gonna die,
I don't need their help.

Clint.Now, listen.

No doctors.
You hear me now,
Clint boy.

Promise me that.

Sorrowful's due up here
today with the supplies.

If he can mend a mule,
he can take care of me.

You promise me, now, boy.

I promise.

Be better--
Better this way anyway.

Better for you.
Better for me.

What are you talking about?

We've been livin' alone
up here too long--

Hiding. Always afraid
of every strange face.

- Shadow.
- It's been a good life.

No.

I been watching you
lately, boy.

You're lonely.

Tied to me.

This way you wouldn't have to be
afraid of anything. Wouldn't
have to hide from nothin'.

You stop talking
like you was gonna die.

Clint, you could go anywhere.
Do anything you want.

You're not gonna die, Pa.

You listen to me.

I don't want you to listen
to what they say, and...

don't you believe...

anything they say
about me.

You don't have
to tell me that.

Yeah, I gotta
tell you now,

and you remember.

I'm no murderer.

I know, Pa. I know.

And you ain't
gonna die.

You hear me?
You ain't gonna die.

All right.

All right, Clint boy.

[ Clopping Hooves ]

You're a long way
from Shiloh, young lady.

How'd you get up here?I'll explain later,
Sorrowful.

Martin's hurt.
Come on.

You go on outside.I'll stay.

How is he?Can't tell much
without wakin' him,

but he sure don't look
too good to me.

- Can't you do anything?
- I'm afraid he needs
a doctor, son.

You know
that's impossible.

Why? Because he'd rather
take a chance on dying...

than trust another person
with his secret?

I'm not going
to send him to jail--

Not for a murder
he didn't commit.It isn't right.

Who are you to say
what's right and what's not?

I promised him no doctor.

I promised.

Sometimes, like it or not,
a person has to break
a promise...

because it's
the right thing to do.

[ Knocking ]

Betsy! Come on in.

Is something wrong?

Well, there--
There's a man up in
the mountains, and he's hurt.

- Anyone I know?
- No.

There's nothing in there
for you to see.

I'm not gonna force my way in,
but I was told someone
up here needed me.

I told you--Clint, he's come
all the way.

You might as well
let him in.

You had no right
to do that.

In a way it was my fault
he was hurt.

I have a right to see
that he gets well again.

You want to trust people.
Why don't you try?

Trust.

I trusted you.

Well?

Life up here
must be good for a man.
You're in perfect shape.

[ Chuckles ]
Perfect shape--

Flat on my back,
bound up like
a sack of potatoes.

Well, we gotta keep
those broken ribs in place
until they mend.

How long
before I can ride?

We'll see.

I'm an old hand at breaking
bad news, but I'm afraid
I'm still no good at it.

You keep your spirits up,

and you might be
on your feet again
before you know it.

You planning
on leaving now?

I am, unless
someone else is sick.

Good-bye, Betsy.

I'll ride with you.

I think I can
find my way back alone.

I'll go along,
just in case.

So will I. No, you stay
with the patient, Betsy--

At least until
Clint gets back.
He shouldn't be by himself.

Please, Betsy.

Ready?

Stop pacing, will you?

Oh, I can't help it.

I know I'm not the smartest
person in the world,

but I don't understand
how everything I've tried
to do has gone wrong.

Well, it happens
that way sometimes.

I know the feeling.

Did you do it?

Murder Jenkins?

When you asked me
that question yesterday,
you weren't quite so uncertain.

Answer's still the same.

Oh, if it only
could have been proved.

I could have proved it.

I had a witness--
Eyewitness.

Only trouble was,
he was the town drunk.

Sold his soul
for a pint.

Everybody knew it,
himself included.

Poor devil.

He's the only one
that gained anything
out of this whole mess.

Felt so bad that
he hasn't had a drop since.

- Sorrowful?
- That's right.

Hold it.Whoa.

Do you think you can
make it back from here?

I think I can.

You feel better?

Partly. Do you?

I don't know.

If he talks, with Dad sick,

I don't know what we'll do.

Betsy. Catching up
on your reading?

Matter of fact,
I've been waiting for you.Oh?

Got a letter from Daddy today,
and he said the deal
with the army's all set.

That's right.How many horses
are they taking?

As many as we can provide.
That'll be about 50,
I guess.

Well, what would you say
if we could provide them
with more?

Say, uh, 200?

Seeing as how they're
transferring an entire battalion
from the East,

I'd say they'd
welcome 'em.

But even if we could break 'em
in time, where would we find
that many broncs?

Well, suppose--Mm-hmm?

Uh, nothing.

Nothing.

200 head?If not more.

Sounds like a wild-goose chase
to me, but if Betsy saw 'em--I did.

Then we got nothin' to lose
and everything to gain.Including saddle sores.

Mmm, couple of
saddle sores, more or less,
never killed a working cowboy.

- Let's take a look.
- After we make the deal.

You work in my crew
as one of my hands.

Far as the profit goes,
we split it right down
the middle.

- Fair enough?
- That's fair.

I'll put it
in writing for you.

I don't think that'll
be necessary.

[ Cowboys Shouting,
Whistling ]

[ Horses Whinnying ]

Hyah!

Hey, you sure can ride.

I've been doin' it
all my life.

Even Trampas is beginning
to think kinder of you.

Well, I was real worried
about what he thought.

How can you tell?

Well, last night he said
as how he thought...

with a little more work,
you'd make a passable wrangler.

Not bad for a bunch
of wild geese, huh?Not bad.

Not bad at all.
Now what?

Well, I think we got
all the strays
and the small groups.

Tomorrow we'll take a crack
at the main herd.

All right with you,
Clint?That's all right with me.

Let's get back to camp.
And anybody who wants
to walk back, can.

[ Knocking ]

Emmett.
Come on in.How are you, Doc?

Sit down.Thank you.

[ Grunts ]
Mmm! Feels good.

Hard day?Oh, same as usual.

What about you?Oh, same as usual.

Doc, you got a patient
by the name of Cooper?

Mort Cooper?Mm-hmm. I have.

What's wrong with him?

Just a professional call?

Yeah, in a manner
of speaking.

Nothing serious.

Seems he spends more time
in front of your house here
than he does in your office.

Well, maybe that's because
I've been seeing my patients...

here at the house
for the last couple of weeks.

He was out there
a few days ago
when Clint Evers...

brought Betsy Garth
into your office here.

And he was out there again
when she came back and, uh,

took you away with her.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have
to ask you who your patient was.

It was a man called Martin.

Uh-huh.
Well, how do I find him?

I couldn't tell you.

He's up there
in the hill country,

and I'm not much for
finding my way around
up there.

Mmm.

Well, I heard
the Shiloh crew had moved
up into the mountains...

looking for horses.

All right, Doc.

Thanks for passing
the time.

I'll, uh,
see you around.Good night, Emmett.

That canyon's a real,
natural corral.

I've tried driving 'em in there,
but they're too smart.

Well, let's
run 'em away.

Maybe if we can
tire 'em out enough,
we can herd 'em in.

It's worth a try.

They're gonna head
away from that canyon,
but if we can drive 'em,

turn 'em, head 'em
down that slope...

and across that stream,
we stand a good chance
of getting 'em in.

- Good luck.
- Let's go.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Gunshots ]

[ Cowboys Shouting,
Whistling ]

Come on! Turn 'em!
Start turning 'em.

[ Whinnying ]

Come on! Turn 'em!

Turn 'em!

Turn 'em! Turn 'em!

Turn 'em in!
Turn 'em in!

Turn 'em in.
Turn 'em in.

Turn 'em in.

[ Shouting, Whistling
Continue ]

Keep 'em moving.
Keep 'em moving.

Hyah! Hyah!

[ Shouting, Whistling ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Howdy, Emmett.
What brings you
up here? Business?

Yeah, kind of.

That, uh, young fella, Clint--

He around here?

He and Betsy just, uh,

rode off
up that far ridge.

Well, here's to ya.

And to us.

Thank you.

Well, Mr. Evers, Clint--
What now?

Well, now
we break our horses.And then what?

Well, if we're lucky,
I'll be well enough to ride.

It's the only way.

[ Clopping Hooves ]

Why, it's Emmett Ryker.

[ Knocking ]

Come in, Emmett.Betsy.

I, uh, thought I saw
your horse out there.

Um, Emmett,
this is Clint--

Johnson. Clint Johnson.

That's my brother Mike.

Pleased to meet you.

Nice.

Nice place you have here.It's nice if you like
a little peace and quiet.

Yeah, well, I do.
I-I like it.

I, uh, like 'em both.

I'm, uh, new in the county.

You know, plenty
of this country
I haven't even seen yet.

So when I heard
the Shiloh boys...

had really found
that herd of horses
everybody's been talking about,

I thought I'd ride out here
and take a look.

What, uh-- Accident?

Oh, just a couple
of busted ribs.

Huh. Well, then, you must be
the one Doc Spaulding
told me about.

- What did he say?
- Just that, uh,

he wouldn't be able
to get out of bed
for a few days.

Well, nice to have met you,
Mr., uh--

Uh, Johnson. Mike Johnson.

Johnson.Hmm.

You, uh, wanna ride back
with me?

Oh, no, thank you, Emmett.
I'll-I'll walk out
with you though.

All right.

See you.

It's nice out here.

Emmett, it's going
to be dark soon.

I'd like to ride back with you,
if it's still all right.

It's all right.

Let's go.

He knows.Clint.

He only wanted to get Betsy
out of the way first.

Clint, you put
that gun down.Yeah, I saw him.

He wasn't fooled
for a minute.
He's comin' back.

What do you plan to do?We could run.

What, with me strapped
across your saddle,
and no money?

It's a chance.

And would you take that chance
before or after you kill
that man?

Who said anything
about killing him?

You got any other ideas
how we could ride
out of here?

I can't just leave you here
to be taken back to Laramie
for something you didn't do.

Well, what about
something I did do?

I don't believe you.

I don't believe it.

What are you--
What are you trying
to tell me?

That all these years
of running,

and all these years
of hiding, that--

What do you mean?
Are you trying to tell me--

I am trying to tell you
that I killed Harve Jenkins.

But it wasn't murder.

It was an accident, Son.

It was an accident.

Well, it was a...
nightmare of an accident.

It happened so suddenly.
I mean, it was over
so quickly...

that Harve was dead even before
I had a chance to react
to the sound of the shot.

Sorrowful--
He was there,
just like he said.

We looked at him,
but there wasn't
nothin' we could do.

And all I could think of
was a fight we'd had
the day before,

and the whole town
knowin' about it.

Nobody ever listened
to anything Sorrowful
said anyway.

So I just, uh,

panicked, I guess.

I-I decided
the best thing to do...

was try to make
an obvious accident
looklike an accident.

Instead of that,
I made it look like murder.

After they arrested me,
it was too late to change.

Is that all?

I reckon.

Well, except...

that is the truth.

Well, based on the testimony
given at this hearing,

I'm gonna dismiss
the charges...

on insufficient evidence,
and accept a plea
of involuntary manslaughter,

as any judge would have done
at the time, had you
given him the chance.

Mr. Evers,
I hope you realize...

the nature of the mistake
that you have made.

Because of it,
you and your son...

have served five years
of virtual imprisonment.

This is a harsh punishment
for a crime you didn't commit.

Prisoner is released
from custody.

Hearing's adjourned.

[ Sighs ]

Emmett?

What are we all
standing around here for?

We've got some horses
to break.We have indeed.

Well, then, let's--
Let's get at it.

Well, will we
see you soon?

As soon as we move
out of that cabin.

You don't think
I'd let anybody else...

break my horses
for me, do you?Reckon not.
