All language subtitles for The Virginian - 07x19 - The Ordeal

[ Whistle Blows ]

Can you tell me
how to get to a place
called Shiloh Ranch?

Just take the road west.
You'll come to it.

Yeah, uh, is there
anyplace in this town
that I can rent a rig?

The livery stable,
right over there.Thanks.

I can make you a special rate
by the week.

[ Chuckles ]
Thanks, but I never
plan that far ahead.

If you're not gonna have it back
by 6:00 tonight, you'll have
to leave a five-dollar deposit.

That seems
reasonable enough.

And take it easy with her.
She's a good mare, but she's
got a few years on her.

Don't worry.
I'm in no hurry.

[ Kisses ]
Hah.

[ People Chattering ]

Uh, whiskey, please.

Oop.
[ Chuckles ]

That's for the bottle.

I've got a long,
thirsty ride ahead of me.

[ Bell Dings ]

Howdy.

Get everything in town?Yep, plus this
from Mr. Grainger.

Giddap.

Well, anything interesting,
like maybe a raise for me?

Nope, but we're gonna have
a new hand workin' for us.Oh?

Mr. Grainger was hoping
he'd get back here
before the new man arrived,

but he and Mrs. Grainger
have got to stay over in Denver
longer than they expected.

You mean he went
to all that trouble
just to tell you...

he's not gonna be around
while you take on
a new hand?

It's not just any new hand.

This is the son
of an old friend of his.

[ Laughs ]
You don't look
too happy about it.

Well, it seems
this fella's father
is a big tycoon back East.

Apparently, he can't handle
his son, and he wants Grainger
to straighten him out.

Oh, fine, just fine.
That's all we need.

Clay Grainger's
Home for Wayward Sons.

[ Virginian ] Wants him treated
just like any other hand.
No special favors.

Yeah, well, you know that,
and I know that.

Does what's-his-name know that?His name's Austin.
Scott Austin.

[ In Affected Accent ]
Oh, Scott Austin. Well.

Does rich Mr. Austin know that
he's comin' all the way out here
just to be one of the hands?

Guess we'll find out
pretty soon.

Whoa-oh.

Who is that?I don't know.

Oh, pardon me, sir.

[ Slurred ] This is
the Shiloh ranch, isn't it?That's right.

Well, I'm, uh, Scott Austin.

So I figured.

I see my fame has preceded me.

Well, if you could tell me
where I could find my host,
Mr. Grainger--

I understood
he was to be your employer.

Well, put it any way you like.
The point is-- He's been delayed in Denver.

I'm his foreman.
I'll get you squared away.

Well, that's
very kind of you, sir.
I don't wanna inconvenience you.

You won't.

Well, i-it's very nice to--

It's awfully nice to meet you,
Mr., uh-- Mr., um--

[ Sighs ]Whoa.

Yes, sir,
just like any other hand. [ Bottle Rolling ]

Welcome to Shiloh,
partner.

[ Grunts ]

Up you go.
On your feet.

[ Gasps ]

[ Spluttering ]

[ Coughing ]

[ Sighing ]Feelin' better?

Oh, I guess I bit off
a little bit more
than I could chew.

I'd say you bit off a little
more than you could drink.[ Chuckles ] Good point.

Now this is Trampas,
our top hand.
Scott Austin.

Howdy.Pleased to meet you.

- That your rig?
- Yeah, I rented it in town.

Well, I'll have
one of the hands return it
when they go into town later.

Oh, that's all right.
I'll take it back tomorrow.

[ Virginian ]
You'll be out
on the range tomorrow.

I forgot. I'm, uh, just
a hired hand now, huh?

Well, if your head's clear,
you might as well get settled.

Come on. I'll show you
where to put your gear.

Did Mr. Grainger tell you
why he was taking me on
for the summer?

I understand he and your father
are good friends.

Then you know it's not
because of my competence
as a cowhand.

Ah, you'll learn.

Oh, are you gonna be
my private tutor?

My job is to run this ranch.

You can wipe your own nose.

- Any more questions?
- [ Scoffs ]

Yeah. [ Horse Nickers
In Distance ]

Who's that?

That's Elizabeth Grainger,
Clay Grainger's niece.

Well, this may not be
such a dull summer after all.

[ Clanging ][ Men Hooting, Shouting ]

Lead on, friend.

Oh, boy.
Best time of the day![ Exclaiming ]

This way, friend. [ Men Chattering ]

[ Chattering Continues ]

[ Man ]
All right, stop.
You're pushing. Come on!

[ Man #2 ] Why you
gotta get in my way?Whoo!

I don't think you'll
need to wash up.Let's go.

Smells good.Hey-hey,
look at that chow.

Hey, stew!

Uh, you can take
this bunk right here.

All right.You can come on over and, uh,
meet some of the other hands.

I, uh, thought
I'd unpack first. [ Dishes Clattering ]

You take time to unpack,
you won't be gettin'
much to eat.

Yeah, your stomach could
probably use a little food, huh?Ooh.

Oh. I'm sorry.

I, uh, bow
to your superior
knowledge.

Uh, men,
this is Scott Austin.
He just signed on.

Hi, Scott.
Hi, Scott. [ Scott ] Gentlemen.

Gentlemen.Sit down, Scott.

Oh.

Thanks.
[ Sighs ]

No, that's
all right.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Sighs ]

I, uh, thought maybe
you didn't get enough.

[ Mutters ]

[ Laughing ]

[ Laughing ]

[ Laughing Continues ]

Well, live and learn. I--
I gather I was supposed
to pass the beans.

If you'll excuse me.

Morgan, you didn't have
to do that.

Look, Trampas.
I did the kid a favor.

Somebody else might've
dumped 'em on his head.

[ Morgan Laughing ]

[ Others Laughing ]

I, uh, figured
these won't show
the food stains as much.

Well, no reason they should,
now that you learned the ropes.

I suppose
there isn't a good, um,
restaurant nearby, is there?

No, I'm afraid not.

Uh, we're gonna put up a fence
down past the corral.
You're workin' with us.

- Doing what?
- Oh, whatever needs doin'.

Look. I think it's only fair
to tell you...

I'm not very handy
at manual labor.

In other words,
you go on ahead...

and forget all about this
character-building stuff,
all right?

[ Galloping Hooves ]Suit yourself.

Hello.Hello.

You're Scott,
aren't you?

Well, obviously
everybody knows
who I am.

And you're Elizabeth.

My uncle told me about you
before he left.Well, did he now?

I think
it's most admirable.

What?

Well, it's not as though
you hadto work.

But to want to--

to want to spend
the summer out here in--
instead of traveling in Europe.

I see.

Well, as a matter of fact,
spending a summer here
might be delightful.

You see, but modesty demands
that I don't take credit
for the idea.

In fact, this is the last place
in the world that I wanted
to spend the summer.

But I thought--You thought what your sly
old uncle wanted you to think.

Now this might be
difficult to believe,
but, uh,

I'm no cowhand,
nor a fence post digger.

However,
if you should need a--
a first-rate poet...

or a gentleman drinker,

somebody to quote you
Greek or Latin literature
right from the mother tongue,

well, I'm at your service
and quite skilled,
I might add.

Thank you.
Do you ride?

Well, if that's an invitation
to go riding with you, I accept.

All right.
We'll ride together
sometime.

Well, how about
tomorrow morning, early?

- That'd be fun.
- Good.

Say, uh, where's Trampas?

He's out there somewhere
digging holes.

Well, if, uh, he's
out there somewhere
diggin' holes,

why aren't you
out there somewhere
helpin' him?

[ Chuckles ]
Friend, do I look
like a hole digger?

You do now.

That was a mistake.That was just a start.

Oh. Might makes right, huh?

The strong shall flourish,
and the weak shall all bow down.

No, not quite like that.

More like... workers eat,
loafers go hungry.

Take your choice.This isn't a prison!
I could just ride out, you know.

You could, but you won't.

It'd take some courage to walk
out on a half-a-million-dollar
inheritance.

Well.

I see you've done your homework.
What else do you know about me?

More than I want to.

Now you're gonna dig
some postholes.
Get movin'.

Yes, sir, professor.

Howdy.Howdy.

Comin' into town?No, I've got too much
paperwork to do.

I wish Grainger
would get back.

Maybe that's
why he's stayin' away.Maybe.

How'd Scott do today
after he finally got started?Well, he did his share.

Sure doesn't make himself
easy to like.

It's almost like he's goin'
out of his way to make you
dislike him.

How's he getting along
with the other hands?

Outside of Morgan
givin' him a bad time,

the rest of the men
don't pay much attention
to him one way or another.

Well, as long
as we're stuck with him--

What do you mean, "we"?
[ Chuckles ]
You hired him.

I mean you and me.

Now wait a minute.
No, he's your problem.

You're the foreman.
I'm just a hired hand.

Well, now, you'd like
to be a foreman someday,
wouldn't you?

Well-- One of the first things
you've got to learn...

is that a good foreman
knows how to delegate
responsibility.

- Just like I'm doing now.
- [ Chuckles ]

Think you're pretty tricky,
don't you?

Do the best you can with him.
Buy him a drink or somethin'.[ Coughs ]

It's gonna be a long summer.That it is.
That it is.

Phew!
You know, this cologne of yours
smells like horse liniment.

It is.

[ Bottle Thumps ] [ Door Opens ]

[ Chuckles ] [ Door Closes ]

Um, how about ridin'
into town with me?

Nothin' like a nice cold beer
to help those aches and pains.[ Sighs ]

Well, that's, uh,
right neighborly of you,
pardner, but, uh,

I think
I'll ride in later, thanks.

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

[ Door Opens ]

Howdy.
How do you feel?

I'll survive.

That bad, huh?

Nothing I can't take
for a few weeks...

till my father
and Mr. Grainger
give up on me.

I think they kinda hoped
you'd like it here.

Look. I grew up in Boston.
I was educated in Europe,

and I've spent time
in Rome, Paris, London,

Vienna-- all cities of culture
and refinement.

Now, what makes them think
that I'll like it here?

Well,

I think you dislike it
for a different reason.Oh?

- I think you're
a little scared.
- Why?

Because I didn't choose
to engage in a fistfight
at lunch...

with that stupid cowboy?

You think I'm a coward?
Is that it?No.

That's not it.

From what I know
of your father,

he got everything he has
the hard way.

And I think he may have given
too much of it to you
on a silver platter.

The word you're looking for
is "spoiled".

No. I'll still settle
for "scared."

Because you know that sooner
or later he's gonna ask you
to step into his shoes,

and you're afraid
you won't measure up.

So you choose not to try.

Because you know
if you don't try,
you can't fail.

That's, uh, quite
an interesting analysis.

The only trouble with it is,
it doesn't happen to be true.

I think it is.

Yeah, well, I, uh--
I appreciate your concern,

but quite frankly, I don't
care what you think--
you or anybody else.

And now, if--
if you'll excuse me,

I think I'll get rid of some
of this fine Wyoming soil.

[ Door Opens ]

Well, that got
some of the dust
outta my throat.

Now let's finish the job.

Well, look who just got here--
ol' Fancy Pants himself.

Ooh, I see he's too good
to drink with us.

Well, nothin'
in the rule book
says he has to.

Why'd the foreman
hire a fellow like him?Why don't you ask him?

You, uh--
You got room
for one more?

Well, if you've
got the money,
we've got the room.

Hi, Minnie.[ Chuckles ]

Don't tell me
you're buying.

Well, I got
a better idea.

I thought you would.
Forget it.

You see
that guy over there
in the brown jacket?

Mm-hmm.

I'll open
for a dollar.

All right.
I'll see your dollar,
and I'll up it five.

I'll call you.

Hey, buy me a drink
for luck.

Not now.Aw, come on.

- Look, I'm busy.
- Too rich for my blood.

Hey, you're cute.
Anybody ever tell you that?Please, do you mind?

[ Squeals ]
Hey! Oh! Oh.Sorry.

Oh.Is that the way you were
taught to treat a lady?

I thought you told me
he was a big spender.

If you wanna fight,
try pickin' on a man.

Look, I don't want to fight.
I simply wanna play
a little poker.

Why, he's as cheap
as he is yellow.[ Chuckles ]

Come on, Minnie.
I'll buy you a drink.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Morgan Laughs ]

I believe it was my play.

Two cards.

Good morning.
You're up bright and early
this morning.

Well, why not?
It's a beautiful morning.It sure is.

Have you seen
Scott around?

From what I understand,
he didn't get back
from town last night. Why?

Nothing.

[ Nickers ]

- [ Nickering ]
- Hey, sweet one.

[ Whinnies ]

[ Blusters ]

You know I brought you
something, don't you?

Oh, cut it out.
Stay still.

[ Horse Approaching ]Come on.

Come on, there.
Oh, no.

Oh, you're so spoiled.

You arespoiled.

[ Chuckles ] And according
to general opinion,
that makes two of us.

I was beginning to think
you'd forgotten.

I never forget a date
with a beautiful woman.

Are you sure
you still want to go?

Oh, now don't let
this slightly rumpled
appearance fool you.

Under these wrinkles, a man
of impeccable sartorial splendor
is just aching to get out.

[ Both Chuckle ]

Isn't he a beauty?Yeah.

Is he yours?Yes.

He's a thoroughbred.

- When he's old enough,
I intend to race him.
- Hmm. Lucky horse.

- Well, how about our ride?
- Right.

[ Sighs ]

[ Elizabeth ]
This is one
of my favorite spots.

What's out there,
past the horizon?

I've never been there,
but they say it's badlands--
miles of them.

You can't see them
from here.

- Well, what's beyond that?
- Oh, mountains.

Beautiful green mountains...

with streams and springs--
just go on and on and on.

You know, I think
you're a half poet
and half romantic.

- What's wrong with that?
- Nothing, for you.

You said you were a poet--
a first-rate poet.

[ Chuckles ]
I'm also a first-rate liar.

Shouldn't believe a word I say.

In fact,
lying's about the only thing
I'm first-rate at.

- I don't believe that.
- You could ask my father.

Of course, I don't think
I've done one single thing...

in my entire life
that he's approved of.

- Why?
- Well, you see,

he got everything the hard way,
as they say.

He fought, scratched,
probably killed...

to make the name Tom Austin
mean something.

But can he read Greek or Latin?

[ Chuckles ]
No.

No, and he doesn't understand
anybody who can.

You know, that's the real reason
I'm out here.

He was hoping
your uncle could knock some
of the education out of me...

and what he calls "manhood" in.

In a minute, I'll have you
gnashing your teeth and wailing
if you don't watch it.

What about you, Scott?

[ Sighs ]

What do you mean?

You said you'd never done
anything he'd approved of.

Have you done things
that you've approved of?

Well, if I... said I did,
would you believe me?

Yes.

Well, don't, 'cause I haven't.

My trouble is people.

I don't trust them,
and they don't trust me.

So be it.

I trust you.

Then what do I care
about the rest of the world?

Come on.
We'd better get back.

Good morning.

Mr. Grainger
asked me to make
a special effort.

I'm gonna give you
another chance.

Well, you're, uh,
stepping out of character
aren't you, sir?

Maybe, but I kinda think
it's worth it.

Why don't you give it up--
send me home as a bad job?

You make it sound temptin',
but I don't give up
as easy as you do.

Well, uh, you haven't had
as much practice.

Now look.

Right now, I want you to take
all these corral horses,

herd 'em up the road.

You'll come to a canyon
on your right.
Turn 'em in there.

There's a spring.

Let 'em graze
the rest of the day.

Yes, boss. And watch 'em.

There's swamp
at the far end.

All right,
you spavined critters,

get ready for
the big roundup.

[ Nickers ]

[ Nickers, Whinnies ]

Hey, what are you doin' here?
[ Yawns ]
You lookin' for some sugar?

Come on.
Come on. Get away.

Go on. Let me rest.

[ Horse Whinnying Loudly
In Distance, Nickering ]

[ Nickering, Whinnying
Continue ]

[ Horse Continues
Nickering ]

Whoa, boy.

Oh!
[ Gasping ]

[ Whinnying, Nickering ]

[ Panting, Straining ]

[ Grunts ]

Whoa, boy.

[ Nickers ]

[ Nickering, Blusters ]

Whoa. Whoa.

[ Quietly ]
Yeah. Come on.

Ho! Hah!

[ Nickers ]

[ Whinnies ]Easy, boy.
Whoa.

Whoa. Easy.
Whoa, boy. I'm comin'.

Whoa, boy.

Whoa.
[ Grunts ]

[ Quietly ]
I'm comin'.

[ Whinnies ]

Whoa, boy.

Whoa.

[ Nickers ]

Whoa, boy.

[ Quietly ]
I'm comin'. I'm comin'.

Whoa, boy.

[ Yelps ]
Oh!

[ Whinnying ]

[ Straining ]

[ Straining ]

[ Gasping ]

Whoa, boy.

Whoa.

Whoa, boy.

Whoa, boy.

Whoa.
[ Panting ]
Whoa.

Whoa.

[ Whinnies ]

Yeah, I'm comin'.
I'm comin'.

Whoa--

[ Gasps, Moans ]

[ Straining ]

[ Groans ] [ Nickering ]

Whoa, boy.

I'll get some help.

It was her colt.

It was Elizabeth's colt.

Are you sure he couldn't have
gotten out of it by himself
and just run away?

Nope.

I'm afraid not.

Wh-Where's Scott?We left him out there.

He feels pretty badly
about it.

There's no need
for any special kindness.

I, uh, came to see Elizabeth.

[ Door Closes ]I know how you feel.

You don't have to tell me.

You don't know at all.

I don't blame you.
I heard how you tried
to save his life.

You don't know.

You don't understand
at all, do you?

Understand what?That they were right
about me.

Did you know that?
They were right!

Scott, who?

My father, the foreman--
everybody!

You were the one who was wrong.
You were wrong, Elizabeth.

Scott-- You trusted me!

You said that.

Well,

your colt
was with the other horses
that I took to the canyon.

The foreman warned me.

He told me
to keep an eye out for him.

He told me
there was a swamp nearby.

Scott--Listen to me!

So I-- I took them.

He even came lookin'
for some sugar.

I-I was tired from--

I'd been up
all night gambling.

So I slept.

You trusted me,
so I went to sleep!

I killed your colt just as if
I'd taken a gun and shot him
right through the head!

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Scott--No, no, no, no!

[ Door Closes ]

Hey, where's
your smirk today, kid?

How'd you get so dirty?
Been playin' in the pigpen?

I know you didn't
get it workin'.

I don't hear no answer.
Speak up!

You're a stupid ox, Morgan.
Why don't you shut up?

Been waitin' for this
for a long time.

Hey, fellas, come on out
and look at this. [ Blows Landing ]

This the way
you do it?You saw it.

Like that, huh?Yeah.

Watch out.

Ooh.

Fight's out there.All right,
who's doin' this, huh?

[ Blows Landing ]

Hey, kid.

- Have you had enough, kid?
- Of what?

Yeah.
Ooh-hoo.Look at that one.

[ Morgan ]
Now have you had enough, kid?

[ Virginian ]
Yeah.
He's had enough now.

All right, boys,
get back to work.
Come on.

[ Men Chattering ]

You see me in the office
in a couple of minutes.
You can draw your pay.

Come on. You gotta be kidding.
You're not gonna fire me
just because of--

That's right.

Any more questions?

Uh, you were, uh,
doin' pretty well there
till you ran outta steam.

What, uh--
What started it?

I'll write you a book
about it someday:

How to Win Fame and Manhood
in the Wild West.

[ Sighs ]Come on.
You better get cleaned up.

[ Door Closes ]

[ Horse Blusters ]

[ Knocking ]

Good morning.Good morning, Liz.

Hello, Liz.

[ Clears Throat ]

What's wrong?Well, we found this
on Scott's bunk.

Wondered if you knew
anything about it.[ Sighs ]

"I've caused
enough trouble at Shiloh.

"Thanks for trying,
but you never had a chance.

Do both of us a favor
and don't try
and follow me. Scott."

- When did he leave?
- Sometime during the night.
No one heard him go.

But that's terrible.

He probably felt
so bad about the colt
that he couldn't face us.

Well, Liz, he wasn't
exactly enjoying himself
before that happened.

You're going out
after him, aren't you?

Well, I can't hog-tie him.

But you could try
to persuade him.

Tell him we want him to stay.Liz, we don't even know
where he's headed.

That's what
I wanted to ask you about.

Did he say anything yesterday
after I left here...

that might give us a clue
as to which way he was goin'?

No.

If he'd mentioned leaving,
I would have tried
to talk him out of it.

I know he felt bad
about what he'd done--

Wait a minute.
When we went out riding,

he asked what was beyond
the next range of hills.

- When you went out riding?
When was that?
- Yesterday morning, early.

Where'd you go?Out toward
Lookout Point.

- There's nothing out there
but desert beyond that.
- That's what I told him.

Why would he head there?

That might be
just the place
he would head.

He's carryin'
a big load of guilt
on both shoulders.

He might just try
to pick out the toughest route
he could find for himself.

[ Chuckles ]
There's a lot of "if's"
in that diagnosis.

You got
any better ideas?Ye--

No. Well, yeah.

It's just as possible that
he went to town to catch
the first train east.

All right. You go
into Medicine Bow and check
with the station master.

I'll head west and see
if I can pick up his trail.Yo.

Good luck.

[ Gunshots Echoing ]

[ Exhales, Pants ]

[ Rattles ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Nickers ]

Howdy.

Where'd you figure
on refillin' that?

You read my note,
didn't ya?I read it.

It said very clearly
not to follow me.

Well, I take my orders
from Mr. Grainger.

He, uh-- He made me
responsible for you.

Did it ever occur to you
that I could take care
of myself?

About that water--I intend to get some more
when I reach the mountains.

Huh. The mountains
are west.

You've been
headin' south
since sundown.

I thought you might need
an extra one.

[ Moans Quietly ]

[ Sighs ]

Well, that makes it
a perfect score.

I can't even make
a success of leaving.

Leaving
or running away?

Ah, what difference
does it make?

You leave in the daytime.
You run away at night.

Ah, have it your way.

My way is
we head back
in the morning.

Well, uh, what if I said
I wouldn't go back with you?

What would you do about that?You know the answer
to that.

Why? I've messed everything up.
What's the point in going back
and messing it up some more?

I don't think
you have it
quite straight.

I'm takin' you back
because you won't
make it this way.

You'll only end up
as a supper for a bunch
of hungry vultures.

We get back to Shiloh
and you're pointed
in the right direction,

you're free as a bird.

[ Chuckles ]
Well, at least
you're honest about it.

No sympathy, no sermons.
Strictly business.

I figure you feel sorry
enough for yourself
for both of us.

Well, got some beans
in my saddlebag.[ Claps Shoulder ]

Gotta keep up our strength.
We've got a long ride
ahead of us.

[ Horses Galloping Off ]

Hey.
Hey, wake up.Mmm?

- Hey, the horses are gone.
- What?

They're gone!
Now wh-what are we gonna do?

Start walkin', I guess.

[ Water Sloshes In Canteens ]

[ Exhales ]

How long do you think
it'll take us
to get back?

Twice as long
as it took us to ride in.

Least we'll be goin'
in a straight line.
That'll help some.

Take a breather.

Oh--
[ Grunts ]
I'm not in condition for this.

You will be by the time
we get back to Shiloh.

You look like
you're enjoying it.Take it easy with that!

It's a long way
to the next water hole.

That's all right.
If I run out again,
you'll give me some of yours.

What makes you
so sure of that?

'Cause, uh, you're
responsible for me.
Said so yourself.

Let's go.

Hey, uh,
what are those mountains
over there?

The ones you were
tryin' to find.They don't look so far away.

How long can a man stay alive
out there without water? Huh?One day, maybe two.

There's no water
for 50 miles
once you get out there.

- Watch yourself.
This stuff can be--
- Hey, watch out!

Look, I'm-I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to--

Here.Wait, wait.

What's the matter?[ Grunts ]

It's my knee.

Well, here.

Can you walk on it?I don't know.
Help me up-- slow.

We'll find out.

[ Grunts ]
Let me... try a step.

[ Groans ]
Not a chance.

Well, let's go over here.All right.

[ Strains ]

Well,
what do we do now?

Well, you'll have to go
the rest of the way alone,
bring somebody back for me.

Well, I didn't do
a very good job
of gettin' out here.

What makes you think
I'm gonna do any better
gettin' back?

You got a better idea?

Won't they come lookin'
for you if you don't
come back pretty soon?

Maybe, maybe not.
But even if they do,
our trail's wiped out by now.

They could wander around
out here for a week
and not find us.

Well, I-- I'd rather
take that chance than try
to make it back on foot alone.

Now don't forget,
you'd be just as bad off
as I would...

if I got out there
and started walkin' around
in circles again.

[ Sighs ]
All right.

Here. See if you can find
a couple of branches
I can use for crutches.

Oh, boy.

Oh, here.

[ Sighs ]
I guess
it serves me right.

What do you mean?

Well, those horses didn't
just get away last night.

I turned 'em loose
and ran 'em off.

- You did what?
- I turned 'em loose.

Well, why'd you do that?

I thought it might
be good for you
to sweat a little bit.

I think the expression
they usually use
is "make a man out of you."

I wasn't that optimistic.

Thought it was time
you were faced with somethin'
you couldn't run away from...

or buy your way out of.

Do you mean to tell me
that you'd make yourself
walk back and...

sacrifice your horse
just to teach me a lesson?

I'm not sacrificin' my horse
or anybody else's!

They're on Shiloh range
right now eatin' their
bellyful of green grass.

- That still leaves you on foot.
- Yeah, that's right.

But I thought I'd have
the use of both of 'em.

Boy, you must really hate me.

- Is that why
you think I did it?
- You said so yourself.

You wanted to see me
sweat a little.

Thought if you made somethin'
the hard way for once
in your life,

you might develop
a little pride in yourself.

They should've been
back by now. ♪♪ [ Piano Notes ]

And you know it.
You just don't want to admit it.♪♪ [ Glissando ]

That's not so.Well, then why aren't
they back?

I don't know. A lot of things
could've happened.That's just what I'm afraid of.

You didn't let me finish.
I said a lot of things
could happen to delay 'em,

but, uh, without
it being somethin'
to worry about.

Like what?Uh, well,

like it took him longer
to catch up with Scott
than he figured, and, uh--

He did have a big head start.He didn't have
that big a head start.

You-- Will you quit interrupting
and let me finish?

All right.Good.
Now like I was sayin',

Scott was probably
pretty tired by the time
he caught up with him,

and so, instead
of hurryin' back,
they're takin' it easy.

Well, there's no sense
in wearin' out
the horses.

There's a half a dozen
good reasons why they're
not back yet.

In other words,
you're not gonna go out
and look for him.

And have him skin me alive,
chasin' after him like he's
some dude tenderfoot? Huh, no.

I wish Uncle Clay were here.He'd say the same thing.

You know the foreman
can take care of himself.

All right.
But you just remember--I'll remember. Now look.

Why don't you go and relax
and practice your piano?
I think it's outta tune.

I'll bet you they'll be back
before supper.

They'd better be.

All right,
give me the other one.

Hey, aren't you gonna
take the gun?

Get goin'.You know, I'm gonna
enjoy this.

Every step I take, I'm gonna
be thinkin' how much tougher
it is for you.

Save your breath.
You're gonna need it.

[ Wind Blowing ]

What you stoppin' for?I want a drink!

Well, go ahead.
It's your water.

[ Wind Continues ]

[ Crutch Snaps ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Trampas!
Hey, Trampas!

Where'd you find 'em?I found 'em out
on the range.

All right, let's go.

[ Trampas ]
Show me where it is.Come on.

This is where I found
the horses.

[ Galloping Hooves ]

[ Trampas ]
Scott? Hey, Scott!

Scott.Uh, get out of my way.
Get out of my way!

Take it easy, Scott.
Take it easy.I gotta-- I gotta get back.

Let me get back.
I gotta get-- I--
I gotta get him back to Shiloh.

Scott.
Scott, you're all right now.
Take it easy. Take it easy!

[ Whimpering ]
I-I gotta get back.

[ Continues, Muttering ]
Get back. I gotta--
I gotta get--

- How is he?
- He's still breathin'.

- Get some water. Here now.
- [ Scott ]
I gotta get back.

That's all right.
That's all right, Scott.
Take it easy. Take it easy.

[ Harper ]
Easy. Take it easy now.
Not too fast.

That's good.
Not too fast.

[ Scott Whimpering ]

[ Train Engine Idling ]

Well, good-bye, Liz, and thanks
for puttin' up with me.

Let's not hear any more
of that kind of talk.

Well, all right. But I was
a pain in the neck, and that's
just a simple statement of fact.

Well, maybe, at first,
there was a little room
for improvement.

Well, that's putting it
mildly, Trampas--
very mildly indeed.

And last but not least,
my favorite hiking companion.

Huh. Just talkin' about it
makes my feet hurt.

[ Chuckles ]
Well, keep a spare bunk for me,
will you? I may be back someday.

- I can always use a good hand.
- Like, uh, next summer maybe.

[ Whistle Blows ]All aboard.
Yep.

Oop, hold on,
my friend.

Well, good-bye.

Good-bye.So long.

[ Train Departing ][ Trampas ] You know, uh,
I didn't want to say anything,

but, uh, all that
character-buildin' stuff...

about turnin' the horses loose
back there so Scott'd
have to walk back--

well, I think
you made that up...

so we wouldn't catch on
that, uh, you don't know
how to tie up a horse.

Up, boy.
