Good Springs? I'm just going as
far

as Searchlight. What's anybody
wanna go to Good Springs for
anyway?

That town has been near
deserted ever since the mine
closed and the Gillespies moved

their silver operation over to
Kingman Arizona.

Searchlight

is where I turn off.

Thank heaven I come along when
I did. It'll be dark before
long.

Rattlers come out to the road
for warmth then.

A person don't stand a chance
way out here with them buggers.

People have been known to just
disappear out here in this
desert.

One minute they're there, and
then

poof, they're gone. I'm ahead
of schedule today.

Maybe we could stop and stretch

somewhere.

I guess Good Springs ain't too
far out of my way.

Thank God I came along wihen I
did.

Town's just up
ahead.

This looks like a
nice quiet spot.

God dammit! Where do you think
you're going?

Damn you! Those rattlers are
gonna eat you alive!

I hope they get you and you
burn in hell, you little
harlett!

Miss.
Hello.

Something you want?
How can I tell until I know
what you got?

Maybe you're making a mistake.

Maybe you're looking for
somebody else's place. Not mine.

I'm looking for
you.

How do you know? You ain't seen
me before.

You're Jess Tyler.

Who are you?
Just somebody you might like
to know.

I don't like people

making fun.

Maybe I'm not.

That ain't gonna

be cold.
I like it warm.

With foam on it.

You're a Morgan, ain't you?

What makes you think that?
You can tell a Morgan

anywhere. If you know what to
look for.

I bet I know what you was
looking for when you was 19.

Bell Morgan was 14. You musta
liked

it. You married her.
Maybe.

You didn't like Bell?

Once.

You musta liked her more than
once. You had two kids.

I don't talk about it.

Did other men have something to
do with it?

Maybe.

Named Moke Blue. So you put her
out.

No. She left.

With him.

Well, maybe she didn't want to
be stuck out here alone.

Maybe she liked people.
Yeah.

Maybe she liked a lot of
things.

Do you ever think about her?

Or the children?

Sometimes.

You ever want to see them?
They left when the mine

closed. Ten years ago.

When it was operating, I was in
charge of the small chunks of
ore.

You know, the kind that
somebody can just reach down
and pick up and stick in their
pocket

and run off with. Well, I never did.
Not even a few nuggets?

Just for yourself or Bell?

No.

That's why they give me the job
of guarding it now.

Keeping it away from scavengers.
Well, maybe you shoulda taken

some. Things may have been different for
I doubt it.

That's what I heard.

Who from?
Don't you know?

No!

Look who's raring up.

Hey, don't it get lonely out
here?

Or is just milking that

cow good enough for you?
You keep talking like that

something might just happen to you.
Not unless I want it

to.

If you were a Morgan, you'd
want it to.

That's good because I am a
Morgan.

I'm your daughter, Kady.

Did you say something Jess? You
didn't think I'd still be a
little girl, did yah?

No. I didn't think you'd be so
grown up either.

Had to grow up around Bell and
that boarding house she runs
for Gillespie miners.

I was ten when I found out that
she was selling more

to the boarders than just meals and clea
Jane too, I suppose.

Yeah, it wasn't all bad. The
miners was

nice to us. We reminded them of
their own kids. We called they
Daddy

Bob, Dadddy George. It made
them feel good, I guess.

Not so lonely.
Jane,

used to favor me. Does she
still?

She took over running the place
when Bell got sick, but she
wanted to go out and finish

school.
Bell's sickness...

Pretty bad lung trouble. The
Doctor said

she ain't got long. We tried to
get Moke Blue to help out

and that's like trying to get
water to run uphill.

You finish school?

No.

Why is that?
Is it ever?

A man?

I got pregnant and quit school

when I started swelling. The
baby was

born about a month ago.

His daddy had even see it.

Well, I...
Don't say you're sorry Jess.
That's what he

said. I couldn't take it
anymore.

Listening to the laughs and
whispers. Walk down the street
with my stomach

out and I hear people say
that's Bell's daughter alright.
That's

the one kid that listened good
to her parent. Jane is taking
care of

the baby. She really is.

But I had to get away.

You don't have to do that.

Oh, I don't mind. I want to. I
like doing things for a man.

You will make somebody a good wife.
Maybe

but I ain't wanting to get married, righ
What are yo planning on?

Keep you from being lonely.

I come to stay with you.

You can't do that Kady.

Sorry, you just can't.

Don't make me go.

Look, get your stuff together

and, I'll run you wherever you
want to go, but

you just can't stay here.

Please.
Jess!

I'm your daughter and I got

no place to go.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Jess.

Yeah.
Thank you.

You're welcome.

Goodnight.

Kady.

It's Sunday. I got to go to
church.

Kady!

Kady!

Kady!

Kady? Whatcha doing up there?

Just looking.
Well, there ain't much to look
at.

You ever go in Jess?
Yeah, once in a while.

Make sure there no scavengers
been in there.

How much silver is in there Jess?
Oh, there's a good

bit of little stuff. Chippings
mostly, but

not enough for Mr. Gillespie to
keep a full crew on.

Keep both me and the mill
working at the same time.

Is that why they closed it
down?

Yeah.
Maybe they didn't stick with
it long enough.

Maybe it's still there.
Maybe.

You know Mr. Gillespie is a
pretty smart business man. He
knows what he's doing.

Yeah.
It's getting late and I gotta
go to church.

Wanna come?
Is there enough silver in
there to make

one, maybe two people rich?
Yeah.

If they could get to it.

What's to stop them?
Me. Now, let's go.

No! You're the guard here Jess.
What's to stop

us from getting it out?
Ourselves. Now come on.

Is all you want from life is
that miserable shack and a
lonely closed down

mine to live with?
Kady, we all come to be

what God put us on this earth
to be. Now, Mr. Gillespie was
made

to own this mine and I was made
to guard it. That's just the
way things are

and that's just fine.
No it's not Jess. You got
nothing in this job and

living in this place, and
having nothing is being nothing.

Jess, I ain't got anything
either.

We could change that if we

had what's in there.
Is that all you came back for?

Silver?

You got more Morgan in you than
Tyler.

Maybe so and maybe that ain't all bad.pp

You know, maybe those people in
Kingman were right.

Bad comes from bad. Maybe you just are y

Yes! You were bad when got
yourself pregnant without being
married!

What I got from it was good!
Little Danny.

Jess, the father of my baby is
Wash Gillespie.

Who's father owns this mine.
Yeah.

Oh he enjoyed himself with me
pretty good, but he couldn't
stand up to his parents and

marry me. The people that treat
you so good Jess. The good

Gillespies talked him out of
marrying me because I'm a
Morgan and

a Tyler. I'm not as good as Gillespie.
That don't make

stealing their silver right.
Right? They owe me and my baby!

If I take that silver, that's
payment, and that's right and
it's good.

Jess, the first time I ever had
a paper dollar

bill in my hand, I was 12 years
old. I let one of the

boarders spend the night with
me. Maybe that was bad, but

the things I bought with that
money was good, and I want more.

For me and for my baby. I want
good things

for us, and if that's bad, then
I want to be bad!

I'm taking you

to church.

Just remember, you're not
Bell's daughter here.

You're mine.

Morning John.

Who's that?
Ed Lamey.

Some worthless relative of Moke
Blue's. He's

a mine scavenger.

and praise our

the hour I first

believed.

Let us all pray. We thank you
Father for

allowing us to gather together
again on this day.

Amen.
We don't get many outsiders
coming around here much

anymore. Today, we have Kady
Tyler.

She has been living with her
mama for some time.

Well, if our simple way of life
isn't too boring for you,
she'll stay

around for a while. Kady Tyler
living over there in Kingman
coming

back this way brings mine to
each chapter of the book of
Luke.

Jesus told a story about

this wealthy man that divided
his good between his two sons.

One of those sons saved his
portions and stayed home.

The other one took his to a
foreign land

and contacts temptations that
he'd never been faced with
before.

He gave into those temptations.
Nefarious living.

Wine and the sin of lust and
fornication with the flesh.

He's talking to me.
Shhh.

Now, he had nothing left. So
the son went

home and faced his father and
he said Father,

I sinned against heaven before
thee.

I should no more be called your
son.

What did his father do? His
prodigal son came home with only

rags on his back.
Kicked his butt.
Kady.

He reached out for him and hugged him he

You should have done that to me
Jess.

My son was dead and now he's
alive. He was lost

and now he's found and they all
laughed and they rejoiced.

Hallelujah!
Are you the prodigal daughter?

God forgives all Kady when you
come home.

He'll reach down and touch you
and wash all over you with
goodness!

And cleanse your heart and soul
when you accept him!

Kady!

Kady! Don't turn away.

What was he trying to do to me?
Trying to help you Kady.

Then give me some help that I
can hold in my hand and put in
my pocket.

Now let me go!
Where you going Kady?

Kady!

Reminds me a lot of Bell.

I have been nothing to her for
ten years.

It's hard.

It's been so long a time.
Then only

be a daddy to her Jess. Nothing
more.

Come inside.

Talk to the lord some more.

Can't.

Morning Jess.
Who

was that?
A friend.
Who was he?
Oh, don't yell.

Did you lay up with him last
night?

If I did would you get your
shotgun and make him marry me?

Where was you last night?

Kady!

I met a girl and

we got to be friends. I stayed
over there when it got too dark.

What was her name?

I forgot.
It was no girl that brought
you home.

No.
Who was it then?!

Her brother.

What did you do last night?

Enjoyed ourselves, but I don't
think you

like that. Excuse me Jess.

What are you gonna do?
Women's business.

Kady, can I come in?

It's hot.
Thanks.

Kady,

you're welcome to stay

but I just don't want you
pulling anything like you did
yesterday.

I've been thinking about it
Jess.

I just don't think it will work if I do
Look, I don't mind

you having fun every now and
again. I don't even mind if you
have

a drink once in a while, but here!
I want money

and I need money.
I want to help and I want you
to stay here and I want to be
able to figure out what to do.

with you and your baby.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
I've been thinking about it and

I'm leaving tomorrow.
No.

You stay here. I'm gonna work
the mine.

Silver.
For me?

Anything, but we just can't
take a whole lot.

We can take the small stuff.
The chips. It will be enough

to keep you comfortable.
Yeah!

Ow. Maybe I got feeling too
good last night.

You just needed somebody to
look after you. That's all.

From now on, you can do
whatever you want my dear. The
only thing you'll miss is the
hangover.

Kiss doesn't make it

feel better?

Just rest up. Take it easy.

It's scary in here Jess.
How far back are we going?

Not far. Just to the room where
the main vein petered out.

Are there a lot of rooms?
Yeah, we dug them out just
before

the mine closed.
Maybe there is more silver in
them.

Let's go further back.
It's too dangerous.

Oh, what's that!
Probably a rat. It won't bite
you.

They're our friends. They can
tell even before God if there's
any trouble down here.

They start to run out, we
follow them.

This is a good place for
chipping.

Look Jess. Gold!

No, that ain't gold. It's
copper.

I'll show you. See

all this right here is copper.
This is zinc.

Now when copper and zinc are
together, that's when you
usually find silver.

This is the drill point. This is a singl

Knock it in there like that and
pry the chips loose.

Silver?

Zinc.

Jess, won't that take too long?
Well,

Can't we get some dynamite and blast out
Dynamite? Are you kidding?

Dynamite would bring the
sheriff and every scavenger
from miles around.

They can't hear us way down here.
You'd be surprised. Sound
carries down here.

You just keep pounding like this.

OK.
I'll work this side over here.

Kady!

Come on Kady, wake up.

Come on.

A nice hot bath will help.

Here, put this on.

Kady, come on. You can't sleep
dirty like

that. Now, come on. You'll feel
a lot better.

OK? Some miner you are.

That's hot!

Hot!

Feels good.

Is it going to be like this
every day? Hurting all over and

not a thing to show for it?

Well, they didn't close that
mine down because it has a lot
of silver in it. You gotta work

for it.
My shoulders feel like
somebody's been mining them.

It'll be like that for a couple days.
Rub them down for me

Jess, please.

Well, you ain't got no liniment
around.

Just rub them. Loosen them. Oh,
they hurt.

Harder Jess.

It takes so long this way.

Can there be another main vein
in there?

It's happened. It's rare.

It's happened.

That feels so good Jess.

You got good hands.

What's wrong?
It ain't right .

It feels good to me.

Does it to you?

It just ain't right.

It's right if it's good.

But you're my daughter Kady.

I'm a woman too.

Sometimes, I need.

We both do.

No.
No.

Kady, you got to be careful.

Shit! Bitch! Damn!
I told you, you got to be
careful!

I'm going to be careful. I'm
gonna be careful getting

that better way of making
money. There is no god damn
silver

in here! I'm getting out!
You got to more gentle, that's
all.

You didn't hear me. I'm getting out!
Kady,

see this. You know what that
is? That's silver.

Look at that.

It's green!
That's right. Silver is

green. The chippets are. Of
course, if you hit a main vein,
it's silver, but

silver ore is all green.

Oh my God! Look Jess. Look at
this. I've been throwing

this stuff away for an hour. Look! Look!

How much is it worth?
About 90 cents an ounce. At
least a hundred dollars here!

Oh my God, we're rich! When do
we get the money for it?

In a few days, we will take it
over to Colville and sell it
over there..

Let's get to work. Oh
we're going to be rich, Jess.
Rich!

Stop here Jess!

What for? The office is further down.
I'm gonna get a new dress.

You get yourself a new suit, a
shave, and a hair cut, because
we're

gonna celebrate!
OK! See you later!

Can I help you
sir?

Yes, I'm looking for a girl.

Brown eyes, pretty. She came in here a l

That's right.
She said a man would be in to
pay for the dress she bought.
That's 8

dollars.

Your friend has very good taste in cloth
She's my daughter.

Where did she go?
She went to the White Horse
Cafe. Just across the street.

So lie down doggies and let
me

dream of the one gal I love.

There's silver on the

stage tonight

by the moon above.

So lie down doggies and let
me

dream of the one gal

I love. There's silver

on the stage tonight.

We've been on the trail all
day.

So lie down doggies and

you dream too, of a range

Kady.

Hey now! Don't

you look good!
You really

think so?
You're the best looking man in
the place. How much

did we get?
210 dollars.

210 dollars! Let's celebrate!
Sit down and have a drink with
me.

Why don't we just go home and
celebrate?

This is Richard. This is Billy
Roy. That's my daddy.

Richard, get daddy a drink.
Oh you got it.

Sit down.

What are you drinking?

Um...Coca-Cola.

On Coke Patty. Is that really
your

daughter?

I was just asking.

Old man don't look like he's in
a good mood.

OK.

You ready to go?
Have another drink, Jess. I
wanna

be on.
Where you going?
Billy Roy's got a brand new

convertible car. He's gonna
take me for a ride.

Why?

Because sometimes

people need to be made to feel
good.

Kady. No, Kady!

Listen, pops, take it easy and we won't
I am her daddy and

she's staying here with me.
It's not like she wants to old
man and right now

she wants to go for a ride. So,
that's what we are going to do.
Sit down and have yourself a
glass of prune juice

and loosen up. When we get back
here with her, you can have her.

But not before.
Kady.

Don't do this Kady.

You never stopped Bell

from doing it. Don't stop me.

Come home with me.

It'll be different.

Stay down daddy. Stay down.

Kady, get to the truck!

Get to the truck Kady!

Leave Kady!

Get out of here Kady!

Kady! Get out of here Kady!

No!

Get off me! My eyes! My eyes!

Get off of me!
Go get the sheriff.

Kady.

Your honor.

You got anything to say before

sentence is passed on you?
The only reason I was in that
furniture store

was for the beds. I didn't take
nothing out.

They caught you before you had a chance.

Got any money?
I was only trying to get a
good night's

rest your honor.
How much?

Two dollars.
Two dollars is the fine you
are to rest in this community.

I was just passing through.
Well, you were with us long
enough to

catch up with your sleep. Sixteen days.

Tyler and Tyler versus White Horse Cafe.

Won't take much to figure that
one out.

Tyler.
Yes sir.

This is your daughter?

Yes.
Well, now, this court is

not about to make a criminal
out of a father defending

the honor of his daughter.

Now, however there are a few
charges that can't be
overlooked.

Disturbing the peace,
destruction of private property
though

how much a joint like that,
White Horse is worth, I
wouldn't know.

I mean considering the kind of
trash it caters to and the
transient

no goods that come sailing
through the great state of
Nevada.

There's no excuse for you
Tyler.

You're no tourist.
No sir.
And you're no transient.

No sir.
Oh you're part of our own
God-fearing

community. How much money you
got in your pocket?

Umm. About twelve dollars.

Disorderly conduct, five
dollars. Court costs, five
dollars. Two dollars damages.

Pay the clerk or maybe you
would like to work for the
county too?

No, I'd rather pay.
As for you, young woman.

How old are you?

Seventeen sir.
Come closer. I didn't

hear you. Come closer.

Closer.

Seventeen?

Sixteen.

You been drinking?

I don't know sir.
You don't know?

Well sir, I was drinking
Coca-cola

but you know how it is.

You tell me how it is.
OK.

Sometimes they put a little
something in it, just for fun.

A shot.

Let me smell your breath.

But today, I don't know if they did or n
I want to smell.

A little closer.

Discipline! A wayward minor.

That's a nice legal word for
what you are.

That's quite enough. You are
not smart enough for me to have
you committed. Do you realize
that?

Send you straight up to the
reform school. Isn't that where
you belong?

First complaint I hear from
him.

You're up for commitment. Understand?
Yes, your honor.

Discipline!

You're her father man.
Next case.

Discipline!

Discipline! Discipline!

It's a good thing that you didn't
You didn't want me

let that judge put you in reform school,
You wouldn't and besides

he'd like to put me somewhere else, righ

like that.
You noticed too. I didn't want
to smile too much at him.

I'm afraid you'd start beating up on him

Then you'd end up in jail for sure.
Doesn't it shame you just a
little bit to go making up

to every man you meet?
What's to be ashamed of?

Well, I guess it's just in the blood.
I don't want to hear any more
of that Morgan stuff.

Well, it's inbred. You got to
be aware of it.

I'm aware of it. Are you?

I am.
You'd like to have me

wouldn't you Jess?
Now Kady...come on Kady, don't
do that.

Kady, I got to watch the road.
It must be lonely.

Let's stop and have another
drink

somewhere Jess.
Oh no.
How about you

going to that reform school?
Oh yeah.

Jane! Jane!

Great to see you!
Likewise!

How's Danny?
He's fine. He's in the house.

Jane.
Daddy.

See my baby?

What a pretty baby.

He's your grandson!

Danny, come on.

I'll help you Janey. Hold him
for me.

Will you Jess?

He just ate. Will you burp him
for me?

Jess? You remember how to do
that?

That a boy. Yeah.

Oh, he's a fine boy. Gonna make
a fine

man. Aren't yah?

Hey, what's

this?

It's a birthmark Jess. It don't
come off.

Oh, he's so sweet.

Yes he is. He is so wonderful.

He's such a sweet boy!
How'd you like to have

a son-in-law, Jess?

What do you mean?
Well, I ran into Wash in
Kingman.

We had a good talk and he told
me what happened. His parents

made him leave Kady.
He's not too strong.

Are you taking his side now?
But they changed their minds.

Everything is fine now and he
wants to marry her. He always
did.

He doesn't sound like much of a man to m

he's not right now.

He's coming for me tomorrow.

He's here!

Wash is here!

Kady! Kady!

Kady!
Wash! Wash!

Wash Gillespie, I don't give a
damn

if this is your property or
not. You turn that big new car
around and

go right back to your mama and
daddy. Do you understand me?

Didn't Janey tell you I was coming?
Yeah, she told me.

And you thought I'd just be
sitting around here waiting,
wide open

for you. Well, I got one baby
sucking on me. I don't need

another.

Honey, I'm sorry. I apologize.
I came here to marry you.

Oh, is there something making
you think that I want to marry
you?

Heh, yeah. I thought you loved
me.

And I thought I was loving a
man, not a mama's boy.

You go on Wash. When you decide
whose skirt your gonna chase

hers or mine, then you come
back and see if I'm still
around.

Kady! Honey!

Honey look, it's you. I want
you.

And I mean to have you. I mean
to marry you.

I ain't heard you ask me.
I'm asking.

Ask.

Will you marry me?

Yes!

Take it easy. Where'd you learn
how to drive?

Use the brakes!
After we're married, you gotta
buy me one of these

Wash. The color to match my eyes.

This is Wash!

Figured.
Wash, this is Jess,

my daddy.
Sir.

How are you?

This is your son.

Hey Danny, old timer.

I'd like to marry your daughter
sir.

And I'd like your permission and your bl
Well,

it's a little late for me to go
on being protective daddy.

Maybe but not for me. Uh, and I
would like to apologize

to everybody for the way that I
acted and tell you

that she will never want for
anything as long as she lives.

You got my word on that Jess.

If you make her happy.

He will.

Come on into my house Wash
Gillespie.

I don't want to make all the
arrangements. We will get
married

the day after tomorrow. There's
a hotel in Goldfield where my
parents

mommy, daddy and I can stay.
It's a little quick.

I don't want to waste any more
time.

Your folks weren't coming up
here tonight, was they Wash?

Uh, no sir.
Only one truck sounds like
that. It's

Ed Lamey's.

Jane.

Ain't holding Jess. Ain't
holding. Wouldn't come

to your house if I was holding.
If you were holding Moke Blue

you'd be on your way to hell
right now. Now, turn around and
get off this property.

Now hold on Jess. I come here
on peacable terms.

My golly, it looks like a
family reunion here. Janey,
Kady...

I saw you with that boy Jess.

Ain't that a fine boy.
What are you doing here Moke?

Mr. Gillespie, how do you do?

I brought you something Jess.
Yes sir.

A surprise for you.

Come on Ed, give me a hand here, will ya

in the truck if he gets out.

Ain't you ready yet?
Just a minute!

It's Bell, Jess! It's Bell!

You look just fine.
Wait a minute!

There you go.

You're alright. You're
alright.

Well,

well,

hell Jess, can't you even say
hello?

Hello

Bell.
Ain't that some surprise? See,

Janey said Kady was over here
getting married. So when I ran
over here at the Kingman, I

said,

hell Bell, why don't we just
drive over and see that? Her
whole family is over here.

She was feeling lonesome, so...
Shut up Moke.

Well, I

did want to see Kady get
married.

And, um, I wanted to see little

Danny boy again.
You see Jess holding that boy
when we drove up?

Ain't that a sight?

Get me inside.

The drive
over in Ed's truck damn near

killed me. Must've been harder
on him on Moke though.

Bouncing up and down on their
brains like that.

There's my girls! Come

on over and give your mama a
kiss!

Here's the baby! Oh Danny boy!

Sure knows how to keep him in
line. He ain't got

much backbone. Plenty of what
makes life good.

Money...huh Jess?

Money ain't everything Bell.
No.

But it runs a good second best
to what she caught him with.

You'd better take some lessons
from her honey.

Janey is just like you
Jess...stoney.

You know you was born with your
hands between

your legs honey. You ain't took
them out since.

I love you.

You just gotta go snap, you
know.

Loosen up or you're just gonna

wind up as dried up and barren
as that desert out there!

You know what I
mean.

Let's

Bell!
Oh god, she's bleeding
again!

Get her on the bed.

Put Danny on the couch.

I'm gonna die.

Awful sorry Bell.
Hell, I'm not.

I made a mess of my life.

You lived it like you wanted to.

I lived it like I liked it.

Not like I wanted.

Jess, there's something I gotta
tell you.

I gotta tell you
something...something that

What is it?

Jess...

Jess...
What is it Bell?

Is my makeup off?

A little bit.

Get Kady and Jane for me.

Put some on for me OK?

Alright.

Jane, Kady,

Yeah, that Kady has turned into
a real good looking woman.

Must make a man proud, huh Jess?

You're a lucky man Mr.
Gillespie.

Lucky man.
I think so Mr. Blue.
You got a good-looking woman

a growing heir and silver.

Say Jess, you know that silver
is up to 90 cents an ounce

now. If it goes up just a
little bit more

it might be worth your while to
open up this mine again Mr.
Gillespie. I mean, maybe

it petered out, but then again,
maybe it didn't. And you could
put old Jess there in charge.

Jess knows everything there is
to know about mining, don't you
Jess?

Hell Mr. Gillespie, I bet you
Jess here

could put a good piece of
change in your pocket just
mining the small

bits, and if he didn't another
load

It is something worth thinking
about, isn't it? I mean, the
price of silver

going up and all.

How is that old girl?
She wants to see you.

How you feeling Bell?
Come here Moke.

Come.

What'd you and Jess talk about?

We talked about a long time ago.

You talk about us?

I couldn't.

Would you help me get my shoes
off?

Sure.

Sure.

Oh, yesseree

I know these feet. These sweet
little old things.

She tried to kill me. She was
trying to stab me with that

damn big pin in her hat. The
crazy fool stabbed me

tried to chase me. She wanted
to kill me.

Why?
She wanted me to

go down to hell with her, I
guess. I don't know. the
sickness made her crazy.

I don't think killing you would
be called crazy Moke.

Now you get out of this house,

or I will finish for her.

Be good to Mr. Gillespie, you hear me? Y

Jesus is calling.

Calling for you and for for

Me. Patiently

Jesus is waiting and watching

Watching for you and for

Me. Come home

Come home.

Damn.

Time's up Moke.
Alright.

Now easy Jess, easy. Now don't
get nervous with that thing,
will you.

You didn't bring Bell back here
to see the family. You ain't
got that much good

in you.
Well,

I guess you're right. I can't
compare to you when it comes to
goodness.

You're so good. I don't think
you

got it in you to shoot me.

Leave it alone.
No, Jess, you can't do it.

I ran off with your wife and
you couldn't do it.

So, I sure as hell don't think
you're going to shoot me now
for stealing silver that ain't
even yours.

Oh yeah, Ed came over and told
me that you and Kady were
working the mine. That's

why I come here. Ed saw yah.
So,

you can take me on down to jail

if you wanna share a cell with
me.

But I know you ain't got guts
enough to shoot me.

You

What?

That mark. That's the same mark
on little Danny's belly.

Oh yeah...that mark.

All the boys in the family got
that marking.

You pig! You laid up with my
daughter?!

I laid up with

What are you talking about

God, Jess, it's burning.

You will burn in hell...the
both of you for marking up a
poor little kid like that!

You're crazy.

I saw it and Bell knew about it
too.

That's why she tried to kill you.
No, hell no.

We got that marking in our
family.

Only the men get it.

If the baby's a girl, it skips.

It skips to the next boy. You
see the women

are carriers.

Danny ain't your grandson, you
soft singing bastard.

He's mine!

God Jess.

There is stuff coming out of me
and it stinks.

Get me a doctor.
Kady is not my daughter?

Bell and me. We didn't know

it for 17 years...not till
Danny came along and

we seen the marking.

She's not my blood.
You ain't a drop

of Tyler blood in Kady or Danny.

Bell tried to kill me because
she thought I come here to
claim him. Hell, I don't

care about them. I wanted the
silver.

Kady.

Get me a doctor Jess, please.

Get me a doctor.

God, what are you doing Jess?

You're crazy!

Jess don't do it! You can't do
this!

Jess, you're crazy! Don't
please! Don't do this!

Don't do it! Don't!

Don't! Jess!

Please!

Jess! Come on in!

Well, well, Jess Tyler, How are
you Jess?

It's been a long time...too
long. It's not going to be that
way anymore not

after tomorrow. Listen, you've
never met my wife. Helen!
Helen! Come

out and say hello to Jess Tyler.
Mrs. Gillespie.

How do you do Mr. Tyler. I
heard my husband mention you

often. Always very highly as a matter of

was the most honest and
upstanding man I ever knew. I
always said that.

I wish all my employees were
like that.

Jess!

How about a little drink?
Oh no thank you. I don't

Nonsense! This is a
celebration. Joining our
families together

and us becoming grandparents to the kids

To Danny!
Did you bring the bride with
you Mr. Tyler?

And the boy? I can't wait to
see my grandson.

No, I didn't bring them.

Jess.

Something wrong?
I just

found out something and

well, I'm afraid I haven't been much of
Nonsense! You did what

you had to do.
Living in there in that
boarding house

and mother working all the
time. I'm afraid she

might have picked up some

ways.
It was probably inevitable
living under Bell's

guidance that she would mature
earlier than most young

ladies Mr. Tyler.
Maybe had I been around,
things would have been
different.

But they're not Jess. Now we
got to put things where they
belong...in the past.

Now, we are all ready to forget
the circumstances and

accept the responsibilities.
Danny is our grandson. Wash's
boy.

No he aint.
What?

Danny isn't Wash's baby.

He's Moke Blue's.

Who?
That marking

on Danny's stomach. Moke Blue
has the

exact same mark in the exact
same place.

I'm awful sorry.

Everybody has birth marks.
Dear, a baby

and a man have identical
birthmarks. How

could not mean anything?

Not with Moke Blue Jess. He's
old enough to be her father.

Not with him. She couldn't.

Yes she could.

Considering the way that she was raised.

am going to ask her.
No.

It would only hurt you.

And everybody else. I think

it's best if you just don't see
her again.

Ever.

Bye.

Hi Jess. How do I look?

Beautiful.

How you gonna like giving me
away?

I want you to be happy.
I'm

going to get everything I want
and you too Jess. I'll see to
it.

Kady! Kady! He's coming!

No, that's not Wash's
car.

Looked like it, I guess.
But it won't be long.

You'll be Mrs. Gillespie!

Get ready Jess. You don't
want to hold things up!

Sweetheart, how do you feel
today?

I feel so good that I feel that
I could go into that Gillespie

mine and take out every piece
of silver in it all by myself.

I just wouldn't have
believed that out of Wash.

Maybe when I go back to
clear out Mama's things, I'll
just go see him.

And I'll find out what happened.
No, Janey, you don't need

to do that. I think the boy
showed us what he's made of.

Jess is right Jane. Let him
alone.

I don't want anything from the
Gillespies but what I came here
for in

the first place. The silver.
I'll get it for you.

We'll find it. I promise.

Only we'll go farther back.
But it's dangerous

back there.
I know, but

it won't be. I can fix it.

Come with me and I'll show you.
Now.

Every time I look at those walls, I know

Enough to make you rich.

Kady, you alright?

Kady.

Let's go further back into the
mine Jess.

Come on.

We just got four more here. You
got it?

Yeah.

It's the sheriff.

Let's get those inside.

Morning.

What can I do for you?
You Jess Tyler?

That's right. I guard this
mine. Sometimes I go

through it just to make sure no scavenge
Yes sir.

Which one of these girls is
your daughter?

Both. Why?
Kady.

I am.
Mr. Tyler, I got a warrant

for your arrest here. One for
Ms. Kady Tyler too.

What for?

Incest.

I loaned my favorite rifle to
Moke Blue a day or two to go
hunting with. He

didn't bring it back. I went
looking for it. I thought maybe
something might've

happened to it. That's when I seen them.

Oh no sir. I was keeping good
out of sight. I don't wanna

get shot. Everybody knows how
Jess keeps to himself

on the job and don't want
people around. After I see what
they

doing, I know why.
Well, just what were they
doing?

Mr. Lamey.
They were hugging and kissing.

Hugging and kissing.

Many fathers and daughters,
mothers and sons, show their
affections for each other by
hugging

and kissing.
Not like they's doing.

Just where did he touch her
with his hands Lamey?

On her back and down to her

butt. He even put his hands up
under her

skirt and rubbed.

Tits too.
How long

did this go on?
Three or four minutes maybe
and then

they went on back into the mine.
Did you follow them then?

I'd seen enough. After what
they was doing and

I knowed what they was gonna do.
That's all. Step down

Mr. Lamey. Your honor. The
peoples' concern

here is more than just

the question of what point the
warmth of a father's kiss
becomes a crime.

It is a weakening of individual
morality

or perhaps simply a slight
misunderstanding

between God and Mr. Tyler, and
yet

there but for the grace of God

goes every man or woman

among us who has ever had an
incest fantasy.

Fantasizing is not a crime. It
is the act

of incest

that we are dealing with here
today which you must deal with
now.

Your honor.

The wickedness of man is great
on the earth.

And every imagination is the

thoughts of its hearts is only
evil

continuing.

The acts...

the act to incest...

Is there anyone in this
courtroom who doesn't

know what that means? Sexual
relations

between persons too closely
related by blood to be

entitled to marry. That's what
it means. Is there anyone in
the whole Christian

world that doesn't know it's a
crime? Stand up

Tyler. You too young woman.

The crime against nature,
shocking and repulsing

to every basic sense of
propriety, decency, and

good citizenship. If you're
guilty Tyler

the sentence for what you've done is 10

What about her indeed. If she
went along with it

in this filthiness, she's just
as guilty as you are.

After what I've heard in this
courtroom, Tyler, I'm holding
you over

charged with incest and she
will stand trial right along
with you, depending of course

on how you plead.

Suppose I say I'm guilty.
Are you?

What happens if I say I am?

I take your word for it and
send you to prison.

There would be no trial.
No Tyler.

Save the tax payers the money
and me the time, trouble and

spiritual disgust.
And what happens

if I say I forced her?

This is a nation under God.
This is

a good Christian community. If
that

poor child been the object of
your unnatural

lust. She's been punished enough

and we put the criminals behind
bars, not the victims.

Then she'd be free.
That's what I told you.

Then I'm guilty and I forced
her.

Ten

years Tyler. Take him to jail.

No! It's not true!

He never forced me to do
anything.

Order!

Order! Let's get some order in
this court!

You'll find yourselves out in
the street...all of you.

You have any idea

what you just said.
Yes sir.

He didn't do anything to me
that I didn't

want to happen.

Do you solemnly swear

this...swear her in.

He never forced me into
anything. He's the

gentlest man I've ever known.
He ain't like any other man.

Always grabbing and taking what
they want and taking off.

What we did was

bound to happen from the first
day we met.

And when it did, it was good
for both of us.

He's your

father.
And a good man.

Best man I've ever known.

He loves me.
And what you did is against
the law

for a father and daughter.
But we wasn't like a father
and daughter.

Not then.
With God

it certainly wasn't. Did you
two

stop to think for a minute if what would
We didn't plan

to have no babies. We were just
a man and a woman.

He wanted me and I wanted him

and we loved each other.

We don't want

people like you walking the
streets with talk like that.
You're going to reform school

lady and then 10 years in
prison and your child

to state's custody to see that
he gets a decent upbringing.

Your honor.

She ain't done nothing wrong.
Me either.

She's not my daughter.

Sit down and shut up!

Shut up! I had all I can take!

Tyler!

Are you playing games with this court?pp

If you're not this woman's
father, then who is?

Moke Blue.
That's a lie!

I've never known you to lie
before Jess, but I don't want
to hear that, even if it is

to protect me.
No Kady, it's true.

Moke Blue took up with my wife

Kady's mother.
Who is now dead.
Yes sir.

It was about a year before Kady
was born.

It's kind of convenient for you
Tyler that she is dead.

It leaves you free to tell the
tale just how you like it. What
about Moke Blue? He sure could

throw some light on this.
Your honor,

Just a minute Norton. This man

is way out on a limb. I'm
interesting to see just where

he's going to saw it off.
Tyler,

approach the bench.

Quiet here! Quiet!

You aren't the girl's father?
No sir.

What are you doing here?

If she surely isn't your
daughter, then why did you get
yourself into this

mess? All you had to do was

tell her.

Why didn't you?

Because she really never had a
father.

Not for 10 years.

And she needed that.

And because

I wanted to

be everything I could to you

because I love you.

Your honor, please!

I bet you Mr. Lamey can clear
up any question regarding this
girl's parenting.

Stay where you are Lamey. I don't want a

What do you know about this
girl's father, whoever he may
be?

I know Moke ain't.
How do you know that?

Because he tells me everything.
Moke Blue is my brother.

He's my half brother, really. We got the

Same mother?
Yes sir. She wasn't married
when Moke come up

so he taken the Blue name.
Mama, she

never been too proud of what
she done. So, we don't talk
about it much.

Your honor.
Oh can't anybody stay put?

I want you to look at this baby's belly.

He's got a red birth mark.

A butterfly.
A birthmark?

Will you please listen to me?
It's a marking that only the

boys in that family have. If Ed
Lamey

and Moke Blue and her baby are
related, they'll have the same

butterfly on his stomach.
Let the court see your
stomach,

Lamey.

Alright order!

Order! Order! Norton, Norton...

is that a birthmark? Is it a

butterfly. Is it a butterfly?

It is a butterfly.

Well, I...
Just one more little question.

If Moke Blue is her father,

why the hell didn't he tell
her?!

The silver.
Silver?
Yeah.

Gillespie silver. Moke was sure
that after the wedding, when he

come out and admitted that Kady
was his daughter, that they'd
come across with something.

Case is dismissed.

Wash!

I didn't leave you. I'd never
leave you.

Your father told my parents and
he said that I wasn't the

father. He said Moke Blue was
the father.

You don't love him.

Not the same way I love you.

But he can give Danny everything

he needs or wants.

And me

will make it right.

I don't want to lose you.

Jess, you'll never

lose me. You're my daddy.

And you'll always be my

daddy. Always.

You came and

Suddenly I was weak beyond
control

I had given you my soul

My life was no longer mine

I love you more than life
itself.

I'll never love anyone else.
I've tried to stop

myself so many times, it
hurts me.

A love like ours, where can
it go?

I must be strong because I
know

It's wrong for me to stay and
love you.

One life won't let love grow.

It has

no place to go

so you tell yourself

be strong, but the world
tells you you're wrong.

Because life has the final
say.

Fate led you straight

to me

You came and suddenly

I was weak

beyond control. I had

given you my soul

my life was no longer

my own
