All language subtitles for The Virginian S08E02 - A Flash of Darkness

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hey, Jim!
Keep those cowpokes moving!

Get those cowboys goin'!

All right now,
move 'em! Move along!

Ho!

Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

Move 'em out! Keep 'em goin'!

It's beginning to feel
an awful lot like hard work, Pa.

Oh, Tommy, now the good Lord never give
nothin' without takin' some sweat for it.

You know that.

Kabe, you know
we're shorthanded.

You two keep your mind on the
horses, save the conversation for later.

- We was just pausin' for breath.
- Well, pause on your own time.

Hyah!

Ho!

How much longer are we gonna
put up with him, Pa?

Not much longer.
Not much longer.

Let's go! Let's move 'em on!

Ho!

Get it hot, Harper!

Whoa.

Harper, Joe D pulled up lame.
You want to check him? Okay.

Choya, get me out that
bay horse and saddle him up.

I'll ride him after
I try to swallow this.

Coffee? There's some right here.

Here. Here, here, here.

A little more. A little more.

Yeah. Yeah. Here we go.

Oh. It's either
one or the other.

One or the other what?

Either this bunch of
horseflesh is meaner

than most or I'm aging
faster than I figured.

You just got a bad case
of anxious-to-get-home.

Yeah, well, I'm not
the only one. Amen.

Well, now, don't that look good.

I'll have some of that
right away. Kabe?

Yeah? I thought I told
you to eat second shift.

Yes, I know you did. But I kind of favor
family style. I'm gonna eat with my sons.

I knew you'd understand. I
understand I gave you an order.

Well, I don't want to be contrary,
but I'm gonna eat right now. Fill 'er up.

Harper, he eats second shift.

Oh, come on.

Why do you do things that way?

Kabe, I don't think
I'm gettin' through to you.

I reckon maybe we both
got the same problem.

All right, he's a family man. Let
him eat now. What the difference?

The difference is we're a hand short
out there, and an order is an order.

Now why don't you just
ride on back out there?

Yeah. Yeah, I'll ride,
but not out there. Away.

Get your gear, boys.

Kabe, I don't have time
to play games with you.

This ain't no game. You pay us what
you owe us, and we'll be on our way.

Now wait a minute. There's no reason to get
all riled up over a little disagreement.

I've taken just about
as much of the proddin'

and pushin' that I'm
gonna take from this man.

You were told when you signed on that
we were behind schedule and shorthanded.

- That's why the pay is higher.
- Fine.

You just give us six days worth of
that higher pay, and we'll be on our way.

You'll be on your way, all right, but
you won't be taking any pay with you.

You tellin' me you're gonna cheat my
boys and me out of what's rightfully ours?

I'm reminding you
of a condition of the drive.

You stay with the herd all the
way to Shiloh. Stay and get paid.

There's no reason for this. Uh, we're
only a couple days out of Medicine Bow.

Stay out of this, Trampas.

You got five minutes to ride.

You owe us. We're gonna collect.

You're wasting time.
My time and your time.

Look, mister, I ain't
foolin' with you at all.

Tom, put that back on your hip and
keep it there. This ain't worth dyin' for.

But, mister, these things have a way
of balancing out. You remember that.

We're gonna need those three.

Well, they've been second-rate
ever since they got here.

Maybe so.
But second-rate is better than nothing now.

Finish your breakfast. We've got
to go out and relieve the others.

Relieve 'em? Only thing that's gonna
relieve them and us is a good week's sleep.

We can sleep when we get home.
But without them, we may not get home.

Oh, we'll get there.

What a mess.

Well, did anybody tell you
you were bullheaded?

No. But I got a feeling
somebody's about to.

That's right. Consider
it done. Uh, Trampas?

We'll head north to the Rock
River, take it into Medicine Bow.

What's that gonna prove?

Run 'em along the riverbank,
we can get by with less hands.

Uh, breakfast is over.

All right, all right, come on.

Well, you gotta hand it to
him. He sure don't give up easy.

Neither did Custer.

Giddap there!
Giddap there! Hyah!

Hyah!

Hey.

Hey, some... somebody.

Some... Somebody!
So-Somebody out th-there?

Somebody... Somebody help me!

Hyah!

Get down here!

Trampas!

Trampas!

Trampas!

Trampas.

Trampas.

Harper, let me have
one of those, will ya?

You see the ramrod?
I haven't seen him yet.

He been in for chow,
Harper? Not yet.

Must be ahead of the herd.

We're so shorthanded,
there's not even time to eat.

Better save some for the
foreman. He'll be in pretty soon.

Right.

He show up yet? Not yet.

Haven't you seen him? No.

He's out there somewhere. He's
probably scouting up ahead of the herd.

We'll catch up with him.
Harper, here. I guess we will.

Homer, what are
you frettin' about?

Homer, you be quiet
or I'll lay a switch to you.

Homer, I'm warning you.

That's close enough, mister!

Listen! Listen to me! Listen!

Next one goes through you,
mister!

Wait a minute. Wait a minute!
I'm blind! I can't see a thing!

I need help! Please listen...

Now you just stand still
so's I can get a look at you.

You can't see, huh? No.

- How come?
- My horse threw me. I hit my head.

When?

I don't know. Four or
five hours back maybe.

- How'd you get here?
- Where's here?

Where'd it happen?

South side of Rock River. I was
ramrodding a herd of mustang, going west.

How'd you get this
side of the river?

- This side?
- The north fork.

I don't know. I tried to
follow it west, got mixed up.

You really can't see.

No, I can't.

I'm sorry. It's just
I don't get many visitors.

You got a pretty bad cut.

Come on.

I'll fix you up.

You don't know how good
it is to hear a voice.

Maybe I do.

Something's wrong. He wouldn't
leave the herd or his horse this long.

Maybe he went south trying
to pick up some extra hands.

Or maybe he's
lying hurt somewhere.

We're gonna hold up here till we find
him or he shows. You come with me.

Harper, you keep the rest of
the men here. We'll be here.

All right.

- Ooh!
- I'm sorry.

That's all right. If you can stand to
tend me, I can stand the pain. Go ahead.

I'm Ginny.

Well, I'm pleased to
meet you. I mean that.

Y-You live here alone?

- My family will be back shortly.
- Oh. Where'd they go?

They had to get some supplies.

- Oh. Left you here all alone, huh?
- I'm a big girl.

- How big?
- Seventeen.

Well, I'm no kid.

I can take care of myself.

I could've put a hole
right through you out there.

Yeah, I guess you
could have at that.

That'll do for now.

You hungry?

Yeah, now that you mention it.

You rest. I'll put something on.

All right. Uh, Ginny?

Yeah?

I-I was...

beginning to feel
awful lonely out there.

I'm sure glad you didn't
put a hole through me.

Oh, yeah. Me too.

Well, I still think he might have
gone lookin' for some hands.

Might have isn't
good enough anymore.

Um...

It's all right.
You're all right.

It's all right.
You're just having a dream.

Yeah. Just a dream.

Yeah. Listen, I want to
tell you something.

A rattlesnake's just as ugly
in a dream as he is in person.

Whew! Spooked
myself. Oh, I understand.

- What is that?
- What?

You're wearing something
different. A dress.

I appreciate your
prettyin' yourself up.

- Do you really?
- Yes.

Is that so strange?

No. Of course not.

Actually, I like to look nice for
my pa when he comes home.

There's some food
for you. Oh, thanks.

Oh. Here, let me help you.

Open.

Been a long time
since anybody's fed me.

I guess that's one advantage
of being temporarily... helpless.

Open up.

You'll be turkey shooting
before too long.

Cousin Jeb did the same
thing falling off the barn.

Clouded his seeing
for maybe a week or two.

He's seeing good enough now
to shoot possum by moonlight.

Open up.

That's good. Here,
have some more.

He get back? No.

What'd you find?
Nothin' Not a trace.

It's a lot of wild country
out there.

We'll start lookin' again
at daybreak.

Trampas.

That's his bay, isn't it? Yeah.

Whoa. Whoa.

That's blood.

Do you think maybe somebody
took a shot at him?

I don't know. Question is
why did he leave his horse?

That's not like him. Unless...
maybe he was hurt pretty bad.

Well, he was healthy enough
to walk out of here.

The tracks head off up this way.

He sure wasn't walking too
straight, was he? No, not hardly.

Well, then maybe he was shot.
Yeah, or thrown from his horse.

Well, not the Virginian.
He's too good a rider for that.

Like you? Well, yeah.

Seems to me, uh, last month...

you got thrown off your horse,
ate about a pound of prairie dust.

I kind of forgot about that.

Sometimes, uh,
it doesn't hurt to remember.

Hey.

That sounds like
a real pretty dress.

Must be feeling better
to start that kind of talk.

I do feel better, thanks to you.

It's my mother's dress,
you know?

It's real silk, from China.

Oh. Where's your ma now?

Dead. Two years ago.

- I'm sorry to hear that.
- Oh, that's all right.

When do you expect your pa
to get back?

Oh, anytime now.

I'd try and get you
to a doctor myself,

but, oh, if I wasn't here when he
got back, he'd sure be disappointed.

I understand. Don't
worry. The time will pass.

Sure it will.

Well, go on. Tell me.

What do you mean? Oh, all about
it. You and the place and so on.

Well, there's not much to
tell. It's just a small place.

We got a real nice ranch
near Laramie.

Is that so? Yes.

You see,

this place is where my ma and
pa first started out years ago.

It's real pretty.

And every once in a while,
since Ma died, we come up here.

It makes Pa feel good.

You just sort of keep it for
sentimental reasons. Is that it?

Well, yes. That's it exactly.

Of course, it's so pretty that someone's
always trying to get Pa to sell it.

Of course, he don't need the
money. We got a fine life in Laramie.

All my friends are there,
and the good times, you know.

Yeah. Laramie's quite a place.

- Where are you from?
- Oh, a couple days ride from here.

A ranch called Shiloh
near Medicine Bow.

Oh, you must be rich.

No. No, I'm not rich.
I'm the foreman, not the owner.

Oh, but that's a very important
job, telling all those hands what to do,

giving orders and taking charge.

Do you like it there at Shiloh?

Yeah, I guess I do.
It's a real pretty spread.

Green and fresh
in the springtime,

and clean and crisp
in the winter.

Yeah, I like it there fine.

I guess I won't be much help
to 'em for a while.

Someone coming?

I'll look.

What the devil are you...

Pa, I gotta talk to you. What
are you doin' with a dress on?

Something's happened, Pa. What?

Somethin' must have happened. You gone
out of your head runnin' around like that?

What, what, what?
We got a visitor, Pa.

- Visitor?
- Where?

- In the cabin.
- Are you daft, girl?

I told you to never let
nobody see this place.

He didn't see it, Pa.
He's blind.

Blind? What's a blind man
doin' up here?

His horse threw him. He
wandered in. He needs a doctor, Pa.

- I told him you'd get him to one.
- You told him what?

He can't hurt us, Pa.
He can't see.

Oh, he doesn't know
where he is or who we are.

Tell me somethin',
little sister.

If this fella's so blind,
what you wearin' Ma's dress for?

I just wanted to look...
I mean, feel pretty.

Pretty?

Shut up, both of ya!
Now shut up!

I ain't seen you in a dress in a
long time, darling. It does look pretty.

It looks real pretty.

It fits you just like
it used to fit your ma.

Will you get him to a doctor,
Pa? We'll see. We'll see.

Settle them horses!

They're here. I,
uh, heard the horses.

- Oh, well, we run a few here sometimes.
- Oh?

This is my pa.

Oh. Pleased to meet you, Mr...
I didn't get the last name, Ginny.

- Danvers. Danvers.
- Mr. Danvers.

Voice sounds familiar.

Oh.

Does it?

Hey, Pa, it looks like
we got some fine stock...

Uh, this is my boy.

Ginny, uh, get us some food.

- But, Pa...
- Now! We're hungry.

All right, Pa.

Sit down. Sit down.

I didn't catch your boy's name,
Mr. Danvers.

- Uh...
- Tom... Danvers.

Tom Danvers.

Yeah.

Here, Pa.

Tom.

- Where's George?
- George?

- Kabe.
- Yeah.

Yeah, looks kind of like we got
a sticky situation here, don't it?

Seems like it.

Your ears is too good
for your own health, mister.

Do you know him, Pa?

- Yeah, I reckon I do.
- He's your blind man?

- How do you know him, Pa?
- This is the trail boss...

that tried to cheat us
out of our wages.

Well, let me tell you
about it, Ginny.

Last week your pa and
your brothers joined my drive.

Flat broke and hungry,
they said.

And yesterday
they quit for no reason.

No reason at all.

Those horses milling around
outside clears it all up.

They're wearing
the Shiloh brand.

Listen, you're pretending
to be blind...

George, you get away from him!
Can't you see he's hurt?

- He needs a doctor, Pa.
- Yeah, I see that.

Forget about the doctor, Ginny.
Right, Kabe?

Yeah, right. Right. Right.

What do you mean, Pa?

Oh, come on, Ginny.
You know what he means.

Listen to me, Pa.
He wouldn't hurt us.

Don't talk foolish, girl.

Ask him. Ask him.
He'll give you his word.

- Is that right?
- Sure, Kabe.

Good. Good.

Pa, we could take him to
that doctor in Spanish Wells.

Then we could all leave here.

Even if he could find
this place, we'd be gone.

This place has been
mighty good for us, Ginny.

So what do you want to do?
Just kill him?

Kill a blind man who can't
even find his way back?

We ain't got no choice.
I just gave you a choice!

Pa, you can't do this thing.
Well, you can't do this.

I'll see you hang, all of you. Now
you stop that kind of talk right now.

I mean it, Pa.

Ginny, I don't want to hurt him.

That makes two of us.

Now, look, uh, you listen to me.

If...

If I was able to get you
to a doctor somewheres,

would you forget all this?

- Would you really expect me to?
- I'm askin'.

Well, I guess
I don't have any choice, do I?

- Are you crazy, Pa?
- Shut up, Tom.

That's right. You got
no choice at all, mister.

But I'm askin' could you forgot all this...
Ginny and this place and them horses...

And not come back trying to
find us? Give him your word.

All right, you got it.

Oh, for the love of... Shut up, Tom.
Shut up.

Oh, thank you, Pa. Oh, that's
all right, darlin'. That's all right.

That's all right.

George,

I want you to take him
to Spanish Wells.

- Ginny, get him ready.
- All right, Pa.

You don't really want me to take
him to Spanish Wells, do you, Pa?

Oh, yeah, I want it.
No. No, Pa. You can't.

I know, I know, I know, I know.

Just don't seem right for a man
to die for a few head of horses.

He could send us to
prison for a long... I know.

We sure come a long way down,
ain't we?

A long way down.

Ginny won't have to know, Pa.

Well, I'll be thankful
for that anyway.

I'll get my horse. Yeah.

You got an opinion?

I take it you have.

Well, let's try this.

The Virginian comes through here now, and
he steps on the rattler and he gets bit.

He backs off, he pumps a few shells
into it, then he goes on somewhere...

But he didn't pump a few shells
into it. The rattler took one in the head.

So he missed a few times.
He was bit and scared.

I don't think so.
You got a reason?

Yeah. The snake's in the open.
He'd see it or he'd hear it.

And if he decided to shoot it,
it'd just take him one shot.

Then you sayin'
these ain't his tracks?

I don't know. I... I just keep
wonderin' why he's walkin' in the river.

Why plow through all these rocks and gravel
when he could be walking along the bank?

It just don't make sense.

- Well, it's beginning to.
- Yeah? How?

Well, let's say he's shot or fell
off his horse or probably thrown...

Well, he's hurt. Uh,
he's not seeing well.

How'd he shoot the rattler?

By the sound.
It took him more than one shot.

The snake was following
the motion of his pistol.

Half the time a snake
will tear his own head off.

By the sound.

Well, you... Are you trying
to tell me he-he's blind?

The tracks go off this way.
Come on.

Right over here.

There you go.

There you go.
Um, give me your foot.

There you go... Oh, hold
it. Hold it. There you go. Up!

I'm sorry.

I wish it could
all have been different.

Well, you run a real fine
hospital here, ma'am.

I'll remember you next time
I need tender loving care.

There really isn't any place
in Laramie. I lied.

No. No, you didn't. You were
just dreaming. Just dreaming.

- You ready?
- I'm ready.

Good luck. Get going.

First time I wanted to
look pretty in a long time.

He never got to see.

Hey, how far is George
takin' him, Pa?

Oh, not far.

Not far.

Ginny, you ought to
wear that more often.

It really livens things up
around here.

Darlin', you know things
are gonna get better...

for you and all of us, yes, sir.

Some day, darlin'. Some day.

Sure, Pa.

No, no. No, no.
I mean it. I mean it.

Sure you mean it, Pa.
You always do.

Trouble is, things
get worse day by day.

When Ma was alive,
we didn't have much.

But we weren't common horse
thieves. We had our respect.

I don't think we're ever
gonna get that back.

Oh, Ginny.

Yeah.

You know, there are some things
that are hard for a man to say,

but I want to say 'em
to you now.

Ginny, when your ma died,

I thought I could handle it.

But I can't.

No. Some men I reckon can,
but I can't.

She brought out the best in me. And when
she died, things just seemed to come apart.

I don't know why.

I really loved her.

Seems to me if you love someone,
Pa, makes you want to do right.

You're too young to understand
about things like that, ain't ya?

Maybe I'm not.

Seems to me if you
care about someone,

you'd want 'em
to be proud of you.

Your ma can't be proud
of nobody where she is.

Then you gotta do it
for yourself, Pa.

And for me and the boys,
even though she ain't here.

Those boys can fend for
themselves. I ain't worried about myself.

I'm worried about you being mixed
up in all this. What do you mean, Pa?

Is there more than just
the horse thieving? No.

I'd sure hate to
find out otherwise.

I don't think I could forgive
you any more wrongdoing.

What are you talkin' about? You
never talked to me this way before.

Maybe it's time I started
thinkin' for myself.

You and my sister, Ginny, got
mighty friendly while we were gone.

She's easy to be friendly with.
Yeah? Maybe that's her trouble.

Time goes by, she'll toughen up.

- Thinking more like you, is that it?
- Yeah, that's it.

I'll say a small prayer
that never happens.

You know what your trouble is,
ramrod? No. Why don't you tell me.

You don't know
when to be humble.

Come stumblin' into our cabin
like a helpless kid...

and my sister, Ginny,
she takes care of you.

And then you get her all fired
up trying to turn her against us,

givin' her ideas about how
maybe she's better than us.

Maybe she is.

For a blind man,
you sure do push your luck.

Seems to me you're more blind than
I am, at least where she's concerned.

Seems to you? One day and
you know her better than me?

I know her well enough to know
she deserves a better break...

than she'll ever get
from three horse thieves.

Maybe you better go back
to keepin' your mouth shut.

You'll drag her down, George.

You, your brother and your
father, you'll all be guilty.

You're forgettin'
one thing, ramrod.

My sister, Ginny, is family
and you're an outsider.

And me and my pa
and my brother, Tom,

we're gonna take care of her the best
way we can. You listen to me for a minute.

Sooner or later, you three are
gonna dangle at the end of a rope,

and she's gonna
have to watch it.

I only hope she's
so sick of you by then,

it won't tear her up
too much to see it.

We'll stop here.

Should I ask why, or have
I had the answer all along?

You're a bright man, ramrod. You didn't
think you'd make it to Spanish Wells.

- No, I guess I didn't.
- Climb down.

Wake up. Wake up!
Now don't move.

Not yet. You feel that, George?
That's your gun. You understand that?

You understand that? Yes!

All right.
Now here's the way it is.

You're gonna get up and you're
gonna head south towards the river.

You feel this belt? Feel it?

You're gonna keep that belt
taut in my hand.

You let it go slack,
I'm gonna shoot you.

You understand that? Yeah.

You understand that? Yes!

All right.

Now one more thing.

The wind has been blowing
steady from the northwest.

So I ought to feel that wind...

on my right shoulder
all the time.

All right, get up.

Get up. Get up!

Get out to the end
of that line! Go on.

Now start walking
slow and steady.

And remember one thing.
You head straight south.

'Cause if you don't,
I'll kill ya.

I mean that.
I don't have a thing to lose.

Let's go. Ah, just a minute.

I can feel that wind on my face.

You just turn left
and start walking. Go on!

Go on!

The tracks pick up
over there. Come on.

Here. What's wrong?

You're going uphill. There
are lots of hills in canyons.

Not by the river.
Yes, sir, by the river.

Couple miles before
we hit the north side.

All right, keep movin'.
Go on. Go on!

Over here. Come on.

Hold it.

Keep movin'.

Homer. Homer.

What are you yelping at? Huh?

What do you think's
bothering him? I don't know.

That dog. That's your dog.

No, no. We're by the
river. It's-It's a... It's a farm.

No, that's your dog. I remember.

Hey, Pa...

- Did you hear a shout?
- What?

A shout. Shut up.

- A shout.
- No, I didn't hear nothin'.

Funny. I could have sworn
I heard a shout.

- Pa, maybe it's George.
- Yeah, maybe.

How could it be George?

It's three hours to Spanish
Wells and three hours back.

How could you expect it
to be George?

I didn't say I expect it to be
George. I said maybe it was George.

But you're right.
It couldn't be.

We better go take a look.

This hound will be yelping
all day if we don't.

Pa.

He's all right.

- Want me to get him back to the cabin?
- No.

No. He's got his gun.
No, he'll be all right here.

Now careful.

Ginny!

You drop your gun, Tom!

- Whoa, boys.
- Tell him, Pa!

Ginny, what do you
think you're doing?

- You lied to me, Pa.
- I had to, Ginny. He knew.

Don't you see? You lied!

- I ain't goin' to jail.
- You hurt him and I'll turn you in myself.

Now stop it, both of ya!
Tom! Ginny!

- You're brother and sister.
- Now stop it!

Is this what we come to,
raising guns to one another?

Yeah, Pa. You let it happen.

You'd kill me to save him?

I would, Pa. I would.

All right, Tom, put up your gun.

I told you I ain't
goin' to jail! Put up...

- Pa!
- Put it up!

Pa, help him!

Help him! Pa!

- Let the horses finish him!
- Ginny! Ginny!

Hold it!

Here you are. Here you are.

You all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm...
I'm all right, Trampas.

Ginny.

Sure, you are.

Ginny!

Ginny, you was right.

I let it happen. I let you down.

I let all of you down
when you needed me most.

I just didn't know
how to help you.

Kabe!

Ah, good morning. Hello.

Something I can do for you,
miss? I'm looking for the Virginian.

Oh, well, he's down at the
bunkhouse. I'll take you down.

Thank you.

You'd be Ginny Kabe. Right.

Well, I'm Clay Grainger, Ginny.

Sure glad to meet you.
I know what you did for him.

How's he feeling?
How's his eyes?

Well, the doctor says he'll be
good as new in a few more days.

All he needs is rest and quiet.

The big problem now
is keeping him in bed.

Company, boys!

Oops! You might have told us
you had a lady with ya.

Isn't... Isn't that Ginny?

- Look at her.
- Come in.

Someone to see ya.

- Hello.
- Who's that?

Your room's a lot nicer
than that old cabin.

Ginny?

I'm leaving Medicine Bow
tomorrow.

I wanted to say good-bye.

Oh.

- Where you going?
- Well, for the next couple of years...

Pa and the boys
will be in Laramie prison.

So I got to make
a new start for myself.

Well, have you got a job
or something?

There's a boarding school
in Laramie.

I can work there for my keep and
even get some schooling thrown in.

Well, that sounds fine.

Real fine. Then when
Pa and the boys are free...

Oh, well, we'll talk about
that when the time comes.

That's a pretty dress
you're wearing.

Oh, thank you.

Well, you can see.

Well, not well enough to shave.

I sort of thought
you'd look like that.

Gosh, you're
a pretty girl, Ginny.

Oh, I'm so pleased.

And grateful. You
got that backwards.

I'm the one who's grateful.

No, I got it right.

Good-bye.

Good-bye, Ginny. Good luck.

Ah, that's good.

Good-bye, Mr. Grainger. Bye.

Good-bye. Good luck.

Well, I tell you I just
don't understand women.

I mean, she saves your skin,
and she's grateful to you.

You eavesdrop pretty good,
don't you?

What's she got to
thank you about?

Ah, I guess she had her reasons.

- It just don't make sense.
- Women rarely do.
