THAT'S 'CAUSE HONEST FOLKS GO TO BED EARLY.

NO KIDDIN'.

I GOT SIX BITS, BUT I NEED TO EAT.

I GOT A DOLLAR, JACK, BUT I GOTTA TAKE A BATH.

LOOKS LIKE 11 CENTS.

FORK IT OVER.

HERE YOU GO.

I'M GOING TO USE THIS TO GET US SOME REAL MONEY.

COME ON, AT LEAST LEAVE US ENOUGH FOR A BEER.

WE GO NICKEL AND DEEP BUCK LIMIT HERE.

OPEN.

CALL.

CALL.

CARDS.

TWO.

YOU LADS LOOK LIKE EXPRESS GUARDS, WEARING SIDE ARMS AND ALL.

WE'RE DROVERS.

DEALER TAKES THREE

I SEE THAT, AND RAISE TWO MORE.

HE'S GOT CARDS, THAT'S THEIR WHOLE POKE.

FULL HOUSE. KINGS OVER DEUCES.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

WHAT'D YOU DO THAT FOR?

DON'T TOUCH ME, PLEASE!

JUDAS PRIEST!

THEY WERE CHEATIN' ME.

I'M NOT TO BE TRIFLED WITH.

I KNOWED THEM BOYS. THEM WAS GOOD BOYS!

THEY NEVER CHEATED NOBODY.

COME ON, WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.

THERE MUST BE $15 HERE!

COME ON, BEFORE SOMEBODY COMES!

YOU DIRTY, ROTTEN BASTARDS!

SHUT UP, WHORE!

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

YOU THINK YOU'RE TOUGHER THAN ME?

YOU'RE NOT ANYTHING.

YOU PEOPLE LISTEN TO ME.

THEM MEN WERE CHEATING ME.

AND I'M NOT TO BE TRIFLED WITH.

I'M A DANITE.

AND I'LL AVENGE MYSELF

ON THE GENTILE ANYTIME HE CROSSES ME.

( Jack ) SO WHEN THE LAW COMES, YOU TELL 'EM.

TELL 'EM I'M NOT TO BE FOOLED WITH.

TOM.

SIR.

YOU GREW UP, SIR.

I SUPPOSE I DID.

GIVE ME THAT.

WE RUN 3,000 HEAD ON 50,000 ACRES.

NICE SIZE. HOUSE IS ABOUT A MILE UP THE ROAD.

I HOPE IT HAS BEDS.

YEAH. NEW PRIVIES, TOO. JUST DUG 'EM.

THAT'S NICE TO KNOW.

YOU'LL LIKE LOTTIE. SHE'S GOOD PEOPLE.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING HER.

SHE'S A HELL OF A COOK.

IS THIS HIM?

THIS IS LOTTIE.

HOW DO YOU DO?

IT IS SO GOOD TO MEET YOU!

HE IS JUST BEAUTIFUL!

YOUR DADDY HAS TOLD ME SO MUCH ABOUT YOU,

I FEEL LIKE I ALREADY KNOW YOU.

I BELIEVE HE'S TALLER THAN YOU ARE.

SMARTER, TOO.

I DOUBT IT.

WHAT ARE WE DOING OUT HERE? LET'S GO INSIDE.

I BET YOU CAN FIRE THIS A MILE.

YOU ALWAYS DID ADMIRE THAT SHARPS.

SHOOTS TRUE TO 1,000 YARDS. GENERAL CROOK GAVE IT TO ME.

I NEVER DID UNDERSTAND THAT NAME HE GAVE ME, THOUGH.

"NEMESIS." NEMESIS WAS THE GOD OF RETRIBUTION.

HUNTED DOWN AND PUNISHED THE WICKED.

COLLEGE MAN.

LAWYER, TOO.

WITH YOUR EDUCATION, THERE'S NO LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN DO HERE.

REALLY PUT THIS PLACE ON THE MAP.

IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU HOME. I MISSED YOU.

IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK, SIR.

YOU LIKE LOTTIE?

YES, I DO.

SHE'LL NEVER TAKE YOUR MOM'S PLACE.

NO. I LIKE HER VERY MUCH.

THAT REMINDS ME, I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

YOUR MOTHER GAVE ME THIS JUST BEFORE WE WERE MARRIED.

THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO HAVE IT.

THANK YOU.

( Tom ) SHE CERTAINLY WAS BEAUTIFUL.

SHE WAS THE PRETTIEST WOMAN I EVER SAW.

TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY.

SHE COULD SING, PLAY THE SPINET,

RECITE POETRY.

GOD KNOWS WHAT SHE EVER SAW IN ME.

SHE FOLLOWED YOU OUT HERE, SIR.

IT'S AWFUL TO THINK OF HER DYING SO YOUNG.

THIS IS A HARD LIFE OUT HERE.

SOMETIMES I WONDER IF MAYBE SHE JUST WASN'T CUT OUT FOR IT.

THERE'S SOMETHING I'VE BEEN--

( Lottie ) DINNER'S ON THE TABLE!

WE BETTER GO.

MAKE A FUSS OVER DINNER. SHE'S BEEN WORKING AT IT ALL DAY.

( hammering on anvil )

'EVENING.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

WE WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD REST OUR HORSES.

MAYBE GET A BITE TO EAT.

THE WOMAN'S GOT A STEW ON.

'EVENING, MA'AM.

GOOD EVENING.

SOMETHING SURE SMELLS GOOD IN THERE.

THANK YOU!

I'LL HAVE YOUR SIDE ARMS.

IT'S A HOUSE RULE HERE.

YES, SIR. CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL THESE DAYS.

WHERE YOU FELLERS FROM?

DOWN HEELER COUNTY. WE'RE DROVERS.

I GOT A HORSE HERE, MIGHT HAVE A LOOSE SHOE.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THINK HE'LL NEED A NEW ONE?

( gunshot )

'MORNING, COME ON IN.

'MORNING, SIR.

LOOK AT YOU.

STARTING TO LOOK LIKE YOURSELF AGAIN.

YOU BUILT REAL BUSY RIGHT NOW?

HELL, NO. THIS PAPERWORK IS ABOUT TO SOUR MY STOMACH.

MAYBE I CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT FOR YOU.

I WISH YOU WOULD.

EVEN WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE, YOU WERE ALWAYS READING.

I CAN REMEMBER LOOKING IN ON YOU AT MIDNIGHT

AND YOUR LAMP WOULD STILL BE BURNING.

BUT YOU'D HIDE YOUR BOOK UNDER THE COVERS

AND PRETEND YOU WERE ASLEEP.

HOW'D YOU KNOW I WAS PRETENDING?

I'D FEEL YOUR FOREHEAD.

EVER SINCE YOU WERE A BABY, WHEN YOU WERE REALLY ASLEEP

YOU'D GET A LITTLE BEAD OF SWEAT RIGHT THERE.

SIR, I'VE GOT TO TALK TO YOU.

FIRE AWAY.

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND

I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE.

PAYING FOR MY EDUCATION AND EVERYTHING.

IT WAS MY PLEASURE.

I'M NOT GONNA BE STAYING HERE.

YOU'RE NOT?

NO, I'M GOING BACK TO PHILADELPHIA.

UNCLE FLETCHER'S OFFERED ME A POSITION

AT HIS LAW FIRM AS A JUNIOR PARTNER.

HERE.

SEE WHERE IT'S GOT MY NAME AND EVERYTHING.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE ALL SETTLED IN.

IT'S NOT LIKE WE'LL NEVER SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN.

I'LL HAVE HOLIDAYS AND WHEN I GET TIME--

LISTEN, A MAN'S GOT TO GO HIS OWN WAY.

WHEN ARE YOU LEAVING?

ABOUT TWO WEEKS.

THEN WE BETTER MAKE THE MOST OF THE TIME WE GOT LEFT.

( cows mooing )

WHY, LANE CRAWFORD. WE HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN AN AGE!

'EVENING.

YOU ARE JUST IN TIME FOR SUPPER.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

COME ON IN.

LOTTIE, THAT DINNER WAS CAPITAL. JUST CAPITAL.

THANK YOU, LANE.

YOU BETTER SET A LITTLE FARTHER FROM THE TROUGH.

YOU'RE STARTING TO LOOK LIKE GROVER CLEVELAND.

YOU GO TO HELL, SIR. EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE.

NOT TO WORRY.

WHY DON'T YOU MEN GO OUT ON THE PORCH

AND I'LL BRING THE DRINKS AFTER I FINISH CLEARING THE TABLE.

THANK YOU AGAIN, MY DARLING.

CERTAINLY.

I GUESS I HURT HIM, DIDN'T I?

HE THINKS THE WORLD OF YOU.

REAL NICE PLACE YOU GOT HERE, NOBLE.

( Lane ) TOO BAD TOM'S NOT GONNA BE HERE TO HELP YOU RUN IT.

GOT HIS OWN LIFE TO LIVE, I GUESS.

BUT IT STILL SEEMS KIND OF A WASTE.

DID YOU EVER HEAR OF A MAN NAMED JOHN STILWELL?

( Lane ) CALLS HIMSELF RED JACK.

HIM AND THREE OF HIS BUDDIES BUSTED OUT OF YUMA PRISON.

THEY'VE ALREADY KILLED FIVE PEOPLE.

OWING TO THE FACT THAT THEY'RE FEDERAL FUGITIVES,

I GOT TO GO GET THEM.

WHY YOU TELLING ME THIS?

NEED A TRACKER.

PAYS $100 IN FOUND.

SORRY, I'M RETIRED.

I SAID NO TO GENERAL CROOK.

THEY'LL RUN GERONIMO DOWN THIS TIME.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT. I'M GONNA HAVE TO SAY NO TO YOU.

GOT THIS PAIN IN MY SIDE.

HURTS LIKE A SON OF A BITCH MOST OF THE TIME.

( Lane ) YOU REMEMBER.

I GOT IT AT MERENZE.

THAT BOHUNK WOULD HAVE TOOK

YOUR HEAD OFF IF IT HADN'T OF BEEN FOR ME.

GODDAMN YOU.

CURSE ME ALL YOU WANT TO.

I CURSE MYSELF FOR HAVING TO BRING IT UP.

BUT THE PLAIN FACT OF THE MATTER IS I'M GETTING OLD.

I NEED YA.

WHEN ARE YOU LEAVING?

SOONER THE BETTER.

WHO'S THERE?

JUST ME.

THEY TEACH YOU EAVESDROPPING IN LAW SCHOOL?

AMONG OTHER THINGS.

I'M COMING WITH YOU.

AFTER THOSE MEN. I'M COMING WITH YOU.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.

YES, I AM. I'VE MADE UP MY MIND.

I APPRECIATE THE OFFER,

BUT THIS IS SOMETHING YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE.

IT'S NOT THE TIME TO LEARN.

WE DON'T RIDE UP AND SERVE A WARRANT ON THEIR FRONT PORCH.

I KNOW THAT. I CAN HOLD MY OWN.

CAN YOU?

( Noble ) YOU HAVEN'T GOT ANY IDEA.

THIS IS TRACKING A MAN DOWN LIKE AN ANIMAL AND KILLING HIM.

WE MIGHT COULD USE A LITTLE HELP.

SOMEBODY TO MAKE COFFEE. BRING ALONG THE PACKHORSE.

THIS IS NOT LAW SCHOOL. YOU'D BE DOING THE DIRTY WORK.

( Noble ) TAKING ORDERS.

IF YOU MESS UP, I'LL COME DOWN ON YOU HARD.

I'LL GET MY THINGS TOGETHER.

IT'S A SIDE OF ME I HOPED HE'D NEVER SEE.

JOHNNY.

MARSHAL.

NOBLE AND TOM ADAMS. SHERIFF MURDOCK.

WORD IS OUT YOU'S RIDING. MAKE 'EM STAND STRAIGHT IT WILL.

SHOW IT TO 'EM.

YES, SIR.

"DANITE." THAT RINGS A BELL.

MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE.

DANITES WERE A BAND OF MORMONS.

GUNMEN. CALL THEMSELVES AVENGING ANGELS.

IN '47, A WAGON TRAIN WAS PASSING THROUGH CEDAR CITY.

DANITES KILLED EVERYBODY EXCEPT THE INFANTS.

WORD HAS IT THAT THE GOOD MORMONS IN THAT AREA

TOOK IN THE ORPHANS AND RAISED THEM AS THEIR OWN.

WAS STILWELL ONE OF THEM?

COULD'VE BEEN.

I RECKON THEY'RE HEADED FOR UTAH. THEY FIGURE THEY'D BE SAFE THERE.

WHERE DO WE START?

I NEED TO STOP FOR WATER.

( Noble ) THERE. TRUSCOTT'S WELL.

RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

DO YOU SWEAR TO UPHOLD THE LAWS AND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE U.S.A

AND THE TERRITORY OF ARIZONA

AND TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS, EVEN AT THE COST OF YOUR LIFE?

I DO.

I'M HUNGRY. I WONDER WHAT TIME THE SLOP HOUSES OPEN UP.

IT'LL BE A WHILE. IT'S SUNDAY. PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH FIRST.

BROTHER JOHN.

WHO ARE YOU?

NOT TALKING TO YOU, SCUM.

I'M ADDRESSING BROTHER JOHN STILWELL.

ARE YOU A SAINT, FRIEND?

YES, I AM.

AND YOU ARE A LOATHSOME, CRAWLING THING.

OLD BASTARD.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ME?

I WAS IN THE WESTERN UNION OFFICE LAST NIGHT

WHEN YOUR DESCRIPTION CAME OVER THE WIRE.

SAID YOU WERE A SAINT,

SO I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT TO WARN YOU.

FIGURED IT WAS MY DUTY TO THE CHURCH.

WARN ME ABOUT WHAT?

THE GENTILES. THEY'RE COMING TO GET YOU.

AND I CAN'T SAY AS HOW I BLAME 'EM MUCH.

THAT'S BEEN TRIED BEFORE.

NOT LIKE THIS TIME, DANITE.

THEY'VE SENT THEIR AVENGER, NOBLE ADAMS.

ADAMS, COMING HERE?

BROUGHT YOU UP SHORT, DIDN'T IT, FILTH?

EVEN THE APACHE WERE SCARED OF ADAMS.

NOBLE ADAMS HIMSELF.

BE HERE NOON TOMORROW.

THANK YOU, BROTHER.

DON'T THANK ME, FRIEND. I HOPE HE GETS YOU.

STILL AND ALL, A SAINT'S A SAINT. MAY GOD HELP ME.

THEY SURE STICK TOGETHER, DON'T THEY?

NOBLE ADAMS

COMING AFTER ME.

COMING AFTER US.

WE BETTER GET TO COVER.

WHAT ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT?

HE'S JUST ANOTHER STINKING BULL, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

EVEN SO, MAYBE WE BETTER CALL IT A DAY AND HEAD ON UP TO UTAH?

NOT JUST YET.

WHY NOT?

WE'VE GOT TO LEAVE SOMETHING BEHIND

FOR MR. NOBLE ADAMS TO FIND.

INEZ, HAVE YOU SEEN MY COAT?

I PRESSED IT FOR YOU, MR. BOLTON.

GOOD.

NOW, WHERE'S MY HAT?

HEY, MARY!

YOUR SISTER SURE DOES LOOK NICE TODAY, DOESN'T SHE?

SHE SHOULD! SHE'S BEEN UP SINCE 7:00

GETTING HERSELF ALL GUSSIED UP FOR YOU.

I WAS NOT.

YOU WERE TOO.

SEE YOU THERE.

I KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON'T!

WHO ARE YOU FELLAS?

'MORNING.

WE WAS WONDERING MIGHT YOU COULD SPARE SOME WATER FOR OUR HORSES.

WHY DIDN'T YOU COME AROUND THE FRONT?

WHERE YOU FELLAS FROM?

HEELER COUNTY. WE'RE DROVERS.

HEELER COUNTY?

MARY.

MAKES ME SICK THE WAY SARAH MAKES SUCH COW EYES AT LON.

SHE LIKES HIM.

HE MAKES ME TIRED.

HE THINKS HE'S SO BIG.

WHAT A SAP.

YOU GO GET READY FOR CHURCH NOW.

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO CHURCH. I HATE CHURCH.

COME ON!

OH, WELL.

NO!

BETTER NOT DROP THAT. YOU'LL CATCH HELL FROM MY DAD.

LOOK AT THAT.

A LITTLE PRINCESS.

JUST A LITTLE GIRL, JACK.

NOW

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE?

TAKE THE KID OUTSIDE.

THE NAVAJO GIRL'S NAME IS INEZ. SHE'S A HOUSEKEEPER.

SHE AND THE YOUNG GIRL, MARY, BEEN MISSING SINCE YESTERDAY.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW SORRY I AM.

YOUR FATHER AND I SWAPPED HORSES,

AND RAN CATTLE TOGETHER.

HE WAS A GOOD MAN.

YOU'LL NEED SOMEPLACE FOR YOUR SPARE HORSES.

HERE, I'LL SHOW YOU.

NOBLE.

TRAIL'S POINTED DUE NORTH.

LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE HEADED FOR UTAH.

WE BETTER CATCH 'EM BEFORE THEY GET THERE

OR WE'LL NEVER GET THOSE GIRLS BACK.

THOSE THREE ARE THE NAVAJO GIRL'S BROTHERS.

THE ONE ON THE RIGHT, NAMED TONIO.

THEY WANT TO COME WITH US.

NO. I BETTER TALK TO THEM.

YOU REMEMBER THAT TIME WHEN YOU NEARLY FILLED ME FULL OF BUCKSHOT?

YOU WERE RIDING HOME IN A WAGON FULL OF TURNIPS

AND I HELD YOU UP FOR THE WELLS FARGO PAYMENT.

YOU WERE ALWAYS MAD WHEN I GOT THE DROP ON YOU.

I SAW YOU HALF A MILE BACK THAT DAY.

YOU BEEN SAYING THAT SINCE YOU WERE 8 YEARS OLD

BUT I CAUGHT YOU EVERY TIME.

YOUR FATHER LOVED YOU VERY MUCH. YOU SHOULD NEVER FORGET THAT.

I REMEMBER THE SUMMER WHEN MY FATHER WAS

SCOUTING AGAINST THE NAVAJOS AND YOU ALL PUT ME UP?

YOUR FATHER WOULD KISS YOU EVERY NIGHT.

I REMEMBER IT WHEN HE TRIED TO KISS YOU GOODNIGHT.

YOU WERE WHAT? MAYBE 9, 10?

YOU WENT CRAZY.

I GUESS YOU'LL BE MOVING ON NOW.

I'M NOT LEAVING.

I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE USEFUL--

NO ONE'S MAKING ME MOVE.

MY FATHER BUILT THIS PLACE.

I'LL HIRE SOMEONE TO WORK IT IF I HAVE TO,

BUT I'M NOT LEAVING.

MARY AND INEZ ARE DEAD, AREN'T THEY?

NO, I THINK THEY'RE ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL GET 'EM BACK.

DO YOU KNOW THE TEHATCHI BREAK ON THE LITTLE COLORADO?

SURE DO.

TELL THE NAVAJOS TO MEET US THERE WITH THE SUPPLIES.

I WANT YOU TO GO WITH 'EM. BRING A SPARE MOUNT.

YES, SIR. YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.

( dramatic music )

THERE IT IS.

GOD.

YOU PATROLLED ALL THIS WITH CAUTION IN '64?

NAVAJO CAMPAIGN.

FROM HERE, EAST TO NEW MEXICO AND NORTH TO UTAH.

( Noble ) FIFTEEN THOUSAND SQUARE MILES. HARD COUNTRY. BAD MEMORIES.

IF WE HEAD DUE EAST,

WE HAVE TO CUT THEIR TRAIL SOONER OR LATER.

LIKE TRYING TO FIND A WAVE IN THE OCEAN.

I'LL KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT.

THERE'S TRACKS ALL THROUGH HERE.

MUSTANGS. INDIAN PONIES. NOT OUR PEOPLE.

INEZ.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

THEY'LL SEND SOMEBODY TO FIND US, YOU'LL SEE.

HERE'S WHERE THEY MOUNTED THIS MORNING.

THESE TWO ARE THE GIRLS. SEE THE SMALL PRINTS?

HERE'S THE HORSE THAT WAS LEADING THEM.

SEE WHERE THE RIDER MOUNTED?

( Noble ) MEDIUM STRIDE, HIGH HEELED, THAT'D BE THE HORSE THIEF.

MILLER.

THERE'S TWO MORE.

( Noble ) LONG STRIDE'S. PROBABLY THE CAVALRYMAN.

THAT LEAVES STILWELL.

( Lane ) WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?

SEE THE WAY HIS HORSE VEERS TO THE RIGHT EVERY FOURTH STEP?

MEANS HE'S HOLDING THE REIGNS IN HIS RIGHT HAND.

SON OF A BITCH IS LEFT-HANDED.

BETTER THAN SIX HOURS AHEAD OF US. WE GOT SOME HARD RIDING TO DO.

GODDAMN IT!

WHY DON'T WE TAKE THE LEE'S FERRY

INSTEAD OF CHASING ALL OVER THE PLACE?

LOTS OF SUN, ISN'T THERE?

YOU COULD GO FASTER IF YOU LET US GO.

WHO SAID YOU COULD TALK? YOU AIN'T GOT NO RIGHT TO TALK.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, LITTLE LADY?

YOU AIN'T TIRED OF OUR COMPANY, ARE YOU?

PICKED UP A COUPLE OF HOURS ON 'EM.

WE'LL CAMP HERE AND REST THE HORSES.

MIGHT TAKE A BATH, TOO, AS LONG AS WE'RE HERE.

BATH SOUNDS GREAT.

I DIDN'T SAY YOU.

FIRST ME AND LANE, THEN THE HORSES, THEN YOU

IF THERE'S LIGHT LEFT.

THIS IS GREAT!

( Tom ) WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME HERE

AND I'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU LATER?

I SAID, "WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME HERE

"AND I'LL CATCH UP WITH"

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.

I WANT MY CLOTHES!

YES, THIS IS WHAT PASSES FOR YOUR FRONTIER HUMOR?

YOU LOOK FOR THESE?

I FOUND SOMEBODY!

HOMBRE ! WITH LITTLE COJO!

'EVENING.

IS THAT HIM?

I DON'T KNOW. COULD BE.

WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING RUNNING AROUND NAKED FOR?

I WAS TAKING A BATH.

LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE BLUE ACORN.

CAN I HAVE MY CLOTHES?

I DOUBT IT.

( Noble ) DO AS HE SAYS.

NOW.

WHO ARE YOU?

WE'RE UNITED STATES MARSHALS.

WHO MIGHT YOU BE?

CHUB DUMONT. THESE HERE IS MY PARTNERS.

ARMY HORSES?

YEAH.

BOUGHT 'EM AT A GOVERNMENT AUCTION IN FORT STOCKTON.

FORT STOCKTON, TEXAS? LITTLE FAR AFIELD, AIN'T YA?

MATTER OF FACT, WE ARE. LIKE TO KEEP ON THE MOVE.

WE WAS IN WINSLOW A COUPLE DAYS AGO

AND THIS HERE COME OUT.

BOUNTY HUNTERS.

PICKED UP YOUR TRAIL YESTERDAY. THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE STILWELL.

GUESS WE WAS WRONG.

SO HAPPENS WE'RE AFTER THE SAME PARTY.

THAT A FACT?

WE AIM TO GET THAT MONEY, MISTER, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

WHY DON'T YOU STRING ALONG WITH US?

BOUNTY'S NONE OF OUR CONCERN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

THESE MEN LOOK HUNGRY, WHY DON'T Y'ALL START DINNER?

COME DOWN THE RIVER WITH ME. I'LL SHOW YOU THEIR TRAIL.

SCURVY LOOKING BUNCH.

I'VE SEEN WORSE.

WHAT ABOUT THOSE HORSES?

I NEVER KNEW THE ARMY TO SELL 8-YEAR-OLD HORSES.

IT DOESN'T. THEY'RE DESERTERS.

I'LL HAVE SOME MORE OF THAT COFFEE, ACORN.

MY NAME'S TOM.

WELL, THANKS, ACORN.

REAL ELEVATED COMPANY WE'RE TRAVELING IN.

JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.

GET THESE CLEANED UP.

CHUB

LOOKS LIKE OL' ACORN'S THE NIGGER OF THAT OUTFIT.

I TOLD YOU ONCE, MY NAME'S TOM. I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU'D USE IT.

ARE YOU GONNA MAKE ME?

WHAT'D YOU HAVE IN MIND, A SPELLING CONTEST?

LOOK AT HIM.

SCRUBBING OUT THEM DISHES AND POURING COFFEE

JUST LIKE A FINE LITTLE WIFE.

YOU WANNA BE A SQUAW, BOY,

JUST COME OVER HERE AND SIT ON BOB'S LAP.

I AIN'T HAD A WOMAN IN A MONTH. I'LL MAKE YOU SQUAW!

ALL RIGHT. GET UP.

LORD, IF IT AIN'T JOHN L. SULLIVAN HIS OWN SELF.

I GUESS I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO BEAT YOU LIKE A DOG.

SHIT, THAT'S RANK.

LOST YOUR SUPPER AND A FIGHT ALL AT ONCE.

WANT SOME MORE?

THAT'LL DO.

YOU SHOWED HIM.

YOU STRAIGHTENED THAT BOY OUT.

HE SURE DID!

GET AWAY FROM THAT.

I SAID, "GET AWAY FROM THAT PISTOL."

GIVE ME A DRINK.

YOU HAD IT, BOY? NEEDING A BIG 'UN?

WHERE'D YOU LEARN TO FIGHT LIKE THAT, SON?

PHILADELPHIA. PROFESSOR MIKE DONOVAN.

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. THAT WAS ARTISTIC!

YOU BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM!

I GUESS I DID, DIDN'T I?

WHY DIDN'T YOU SHOOT HIM?

SIR?

HE WAS GONNA KILL YOU.

COME ON, HE JUST GOT ANGRY.

HE WAS GONNA KILL YOU.

YOU ONLY PULL THAT WEAPON FOR ONE REASON.

IF YOU'RE GONNA CARRY ONE, YOU BETTER BE READY TO USE IT.

YOU'RE NOT. SO LET'S HAVE IT.

SIDE ARMS, SIR.

WE'LL JUST KEEP THIS ON THE PACKHORSE FROM NOW ON.

YOU JUST HAD TO TAKE HIM DOWN A PEG, DIDN'T YOU?

HE THINKS THIS IS SOME KIND OF GAME.

GOOD MORNING.

'MORNING.

COFFEE'LL BE UP IN A MINUTE.

GOOD.

THE BOUNTY HUNTERS. WHERE'D THEY GO?

'MORNING, TOM.

TOOK OFF A COUPLE HOURS AGO, HEADED FOR BLACK FALLS.

SHOULDN'T WE GET AFTER 'EM?

STILWELL DIDN'T HEAD FOR BLACK FALLS.

I SHOWED 'EM THE WRONG TRAIL.

THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE PUTTING ONE OVER ON US.

WHAT TRAIL DID THEY FOLLOW?

REMEMBER THOSE MUSTANG TRACKS?

THEY KEEP GOING LIKE THEY'RE GOING, THEY'LL END UP IN MEXICO.

I HATE THIS WIND!

THIS AIN'T NOTHING.

LOOK AT THAT!

( Jack ) I DON'T LIKE THE LOOKS OF THAT!

WE GOTTA TAKE COVER.

WHERE?

I KNOW A PLACE. FOSSIL HILL.

GODDAMN IT.

( Lane ) IT'S A NORTHER. COME EARLY THIS YEAR.

HAVE TO WAIT IT OUT. COME ON.

FEELS LIKE ANTS ARE EATIN' ME.

( Noble ) WON'T BE A TRACK LEFT OUT THERE.

( Lane ) THEY GOT TO GET TO SHELTER, TOO.

THERE IS ONE PLACE THEY COULD GO, BUT I DOUBT IF THEY KNOW ABOUT IT.

NOT MANY WHITE MEN DO.

MAYBE....

WHAT?

NOTHING.

SPIT IT OUT.

I WAS JUST THINKING, MAYBE THE NAVAJO GIRL WOULD KNOW.

MIND IF WE HOLE UP HERE UNTIL THE WIND BLOWS OVER?

COME ON!

GOT SOMETHING TO DRINK OVER THERE, CHIEF?

I THINK IT'S PARTY TIME.

THAT SMELLS LIKE HORSE PISS!

THAT'S TIZWAN. THE OL' MAN MUST BE PART APACHE.

YOU WANT SOME OF THIS BREW?

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS PLACE IS?

IT'S AN OLD-TIME INDIAN CLIFF HOUSE.

NO,

IT'S TESTIMONY.

IT'S WHAT?

TESTIMONY TO THE BOOK OF MORMON.

OH, BOY. HERE WE GO.

THE BOOK OF MORMON TEACHES

THAT WAY BACK IN BIBLE TIMES, A LOST TRIBE OF ISRAEL SETTLED HERE.

AFTER A WHILE, THEY SPLIT INTO TWO BUNCHES.

THE NEPHITES, WHO WERE BELOVED OF GOD

AND THE LAMANITES, WHO WERE EVIL.

THEY HAD THIS WAR,

AND THE LAMANITES KILLED OFF THE NEPHITES.

GOD WAS SO ANGRY

HE TURNED THEIR SKINS RED AND MADE THEM DARK SAVAGES.

THAT'S WHY YOU'VE GOT YOUR INDIANS TODAY!

HE IS A LAMANITE!

YOU SEE THIS? IT'S AN OLD-TIME LAMANITE SKULL.

NAVAJO.

NO.

YOU ARE A LAMANITE.

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAY ONE.

YOU CAN BECOME WHITE AND DELIGHTSOME AGAIN IN HIS SIGHT.

THAT'S BULLSHIT AND YOU KNOW IT.

NO, IT'S THE GOSPEL, I'M TELLING YOU!

UP AROUND CEDAR CITY WE GOT UTES JUST AS DARK AND UGLY AS HELL.

BUT WHEN WE BAPTIZE THEM

YOU CAN SEE 'EM BECOMING PALE AND WHITE AND DELIGHTSOME AGAIN.

I'D SAY SHE LOOKS DELIGHTSOME JUST THE WAY SHE IS.

HERE, HOLD THIS!

COME HERE, LITTLE LADY!

ARE YOU MAD AT ME?

DO YOU LIKE ME?

I GUESS SO.

YOU KNOW, IF I HAD A DAUGHTER, I'D WANT HER TO BE JUST LIKE YOU.

'CAUSE I THINK YOU'RE A PRINCESS.

THANK YOU.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

TWELVE AND A HALF.

CAN YOU REMEMBER THINGS FROM WHEN YOU WERE REAL LITTLE?

DID YOU KNOW I WAS AN ORPHAN?

A NICE MORMON FAMILY TOOK ME IN TO RAISE.

JUST LIKE THEIR OWN, OUTSIDE CEDAR CITY.

YOU EVER BEEN TO UTAH?

NO.

YOU'LL LIKE IT.

I GOT A HOUSE THERE

AND WE COULD FIX IT UP AND LIVE IN IT.

NO!

AND AFTER A WHILE

SAY, ABOUT THREE YEARS....

I WANT TO GO HOME NOW!

PRINCESS.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CRY, EVER, PRINCESS.

I WON'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU, EVER.

I PROMISE.

NOW, LOOK, I'M GONNA DO SOMETHING NICE FOR YOU.

YOU'LL LIKE IT IN UTAH.

WE'LL HAVE LOTS OF FUN.

YOU'LL SEE.

HECK, WE GONNA GET THE CHIEF TO COME AND BE OUR DADDY.

HOW 'BOUT THAT, CHIEF? YOU WANNA BE OUR DAD?

NO.

WHY THE HELL NOT? YOU WANNA STAY HERE AND DIE ALL BY YOURSELF?

NOT AFRAID.

( Chief ) I DIE, I GO

BECOME LEGEND.

A LEGEND.

( dramatic music )

THEY WERE HERE ALL RIGHT. OLD MAN SAID THEY PULLED OUT YESTERDAY.

WHAT ABOUT THE GIRLS? ARE THEY ALL RIGHT?

HE SAID THEY HAD THEIR WAY WITH THE NAVAJO GIRL.

GODDAMN IT.

SOONER THEY HANG, THE BETTER. COME ON, WE'RE BURNING DAYLIGHT.

WHAT IS IT?

WHY WOULD THEY LEAVE A TRAIL SO CLEAR?

SON OF A BITCH.

KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

LOOKS LIKE A HORSE APPLE.

DAY OLD. SEE WHAT HE'S BEEN EATING?

THAT'S GRAMA. THERE'S NO GRAMA AROUND HERE.

( Noble ) GROWS 10 MILES UP THE WASH.

THE FALSE TRAIL. THEY'VE BACKTRACKED.

THEY'RE BEHIND US.

IN TWO DAYS, THEY'LL BE AT LEE'S FERRY.

ONCE ACROSS THE RIVER, THEY'RE THREE HOURS FROM UTAH AND HOME FREE.

THEN, LETS GET AFTER 'EM.

NO, WAIT A MINUTE.

MAYBE WE CAN BEAT 'EM TO IT.

IF WE CUT ACROSS HERE, WE CAN BE AT LEE'S FERRY AHEAD OF 'EM.

THERE'S A MOUNTAIN IN THE WAY!

RIGHT.

COME ON.

WE'LL HAVE TO PULL IT TO THE TOP.

WATCH YOURSELF. WATCH OUT.

NICE VIEW.

DON'T JUST STAND HERE AND ADMIRE IT. LET'S GET GOIN'.

I'LL GET SOME MORE WOOD.

BOY'S ALL RIGHT.

GOT A LOT OF BARK ON HIM.

YOU SEE HOW HE GOT DOWN UNDER THAT HORSE TODAY?

SCARED ME TO DEATH.

STILL CAN'T FIGURE WHY HE WANTS TO LIVE IN PHILADELPHIA.

DO YOU EVER NOTICE THE WAY HE LOOKS AT ME SOMETIMES?

HIS MOTHER USED TO LOOK AT ME THAT WAY WHEN WE LIVED BACK EAST.

SHE WASN'T ASHAMED OF ME, BUT

I DIDN'T HAVE THE EDUCATION OF HER FRIENDS.

I THINK SOMETIMES SHE FELT BAD FOR ME IN FRONT OF PEOPLE.

I THINK THAT'S WHY SHE HAD ME BRING HER OUT HERE.

THAT'S WHY I SENT TOM BACK EAST TO COLLEGE

SO NO ONE WOULD EVER LOOK AT HIM THAT WAY.

( Noble ) THERE THEY ARE.

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

THEY'D SEE US COMING. WE'LL TAKE 'EM TOMORROW AT LEE'S FERRY.

WISH WE HAD A FIRE.

NOT TONIGHT. THEY'RE TOO CLOSE.

LOOK AT THAT SKY.

YOU CAN SEE EVERY STAR GOD CREATED.

( Noble ) YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF 'EM.

KIND OF MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU BELONG TO SOMETHING BIGGER.

I GUESS IT DOES.

I GUESS THAT'S WHY YOU STAY OUT HERE.

I GUESS THAT IS WHY.

GOODNIGHT, SIR.

GOODNIGHT, PARTNER.

GOOD ENOUGH. TOM AND I'LL CROSS THE RIVER AND SET UP ON THE BANK.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL BE ON THIS SIDE IN THE TREES.

WHEN THEY'RE ALL IN THE RIVER, I'LL HOLLER AT 'EM TO SURRENDER.

IN THAT CURRENT, WE'LL HAVE 'EM.

ALL RIGHT.

BUT IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG, DON'T STOP TO ARGUE ABOUT IT.

SHOOT TO KILL.

I'VE BEEN MEANIN' TO ASK YOU WHY YOU STILL USE THAT SINGLE SHOT?

HITS HARDER.

WHAT IF YOU MISS?

I DON'T PLAN TO.

( suspenseful music )

( whistles )

WHAT IS IT?

( gunshots )

GODDAMN BOUNTY HUNTERS!

GET OUT OF HERE!

( Lane ) STILWELL!

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.

GODDAMN IT, WE LOST 'EM.

OL' BOB SAID HE PICKED UP YOUR TRAIL IN THE WOODS.

WOULDN'T FLOAT!

LOOK, THERE'S HIS BADGE.

BUT LOOK AT THIS.

WHAT IS IT? WHAT DOES IT SAY?

SAYS THERE'S A $500 REWARD FOR US.

THAT'S YOUR NAME RIGHT THERE.

$500?

LOOK AT THAT, THAT'S $125 APIECE.

THAT'S A PRETTY PIECE OF MONEY!

DEAD OR ALIVE.

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

BOUNTY HUNTERS.

THEY'LL CAMP IN THOSE TREES.

PROBABLY PAY US A VISIT BEFORE MORNIN'.

I CAN'T ALLOW THAT.

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

WE'RE GONNA KILL 'EM.

JUST LIKE THAT?

THEY HAD THEIR CHANCE.

AIN'T NO NEED TO BOTHER WITH THAT.

WE AIN'T GONNA BE HERE THAT LONG.

I'LL CROSS HERE. YOU GO UPSTREAM, AND GET THE OTHER SIDE OF 'EM.

WE'LL GET 'EM IN A CROSSFIRE.

I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD.

WHY DON'T YOU SIT THERE?

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT HAPPENS TO EVERYBODY.

I LOST MY NERVE.

NO, YOU DIDN'T. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

I JUST COULDN'T KILL HIM.

IF YOU HAD KILLED HIM

YOU'D FEEL A HELL OF A LOT WORSE, BELIEVE ME.

YOU JUST REST THERE. I'M GONNA CUT LOOSE THE HORSES.

WHAT ABOUT THE BODIES?

TO HELL WITH THEM. WE'VE WASTED ENOUGH TIME AS IT IS.

WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GO NORTHEAST THIS TIME

( Brewer ) THROUGH MARSH PASS?

I SAID, WHAT ABOUT GOING THROUGH MARSH PASS?

I HATE THIS WIND.

WE SHOULD CATCH UP WITH 'EM BY MORNIN'.

I HOPE THOSE INDIANS MAKE LITTLE COLORADO.

WE ONLY GOT ONE DAY'S SUPPLY LEFT.

PLACE LOOKS KIND OF FAMILIAR.

FORT CAMMY'S 120 MILES THAT WAY. YOU WERE BORN THERE.

WHEN YOU WERE 2 YEARS OLD, I DECIDED TO LEAVE THE ARMY.

LOADED YOU AND YOUR MOTHER IN A WAGON,

WE SET OUT FOR FLAGSTAFF.

WE'D STOP FOR THE NIGHT RIGHT DOWN IN THAT BASIN.

YOUR MOTHER HAD JUST HANDED YOU DOWN TO ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT MADE THE HORSES JUMP.

THE WAGON ROLLED, AND SHE FELL UNDER THE WHEEL.

HER RIBS WERE ALL STOVED IN.

WE WERE MILES AWAY FROM ANY HELP.

I TRIED TO MOVE HER, BUT EVERY TIME SHE'D SCREAM.

SHE STARTED SPITTING BLOOD.

THE HURT COME IN WAVES AND YOU'D START CRYING.

SHE'D SWALLOW THE PAIN AND HOLD YOU IN HER ARMS

TILL YOU QUIETED DOWN.

MUST HAVE BEEN ALMOST MORNING AND SHE STARTED TO GO.

I TOLD HER, "YOU'RE GONNA MAKE IT.

"YOUR SON LOVES YOU TOO MUCH TO LET YOU DIE."

SHE SMILED AT THAT.

THEN, SHE WAS GONE.

SHE'S BURIED RIGHT OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.

( Jack ) WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

MARY, GO!

WHAT HAPPENED, JACK?

TAKE THE PRINCESS AWAY.

SURE, JACK.

SHE CUT ME.

UNLOAD THE PACKHORSE. BRING ME A BLANKET.

( speaking Navajo )

( Noble ) THE REST OF THEM ARE AT THE LITTLE COLORADO

WITH OUR SUPPLIES.

HE'S GONNA BE BACK IN A COUPLE OF HOURS WITH HIS BROTHERS.

I'VE GOTTA TAKE A LONG CHANCE.

I GOTTA KNOW IF I CAN COUNT ON YOU.

IF I CAN'T, SAY SO, BUT I GOTTA KNOW.

YOU CAN.

INEZ. I WANT TO KNOW WHERE SHE IS.

I TOLD YOU, PRINCESS, I LET HER GO.

CAN'T YOU LET ME GO?

SOMEBODY'S COMING.

ONE RIDER. HE'S GOT A RIFLE.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

WAIT A MINUTE. THAT'S JUST ONE MAN.

I AIN'T RUNNING FROM ONE MAN. GOES AGAINST THE GRAIN.

ME NEITHER. I'M SICK OF RUNNING.

YOU BOYS DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

WHAT ABOUT YOU, KID?

YOU GONNA BE A RABBIT ALL YOUR LIFE?

I AIN'T A RABBIT.

THEN LET'S GET HIM.

( dramatic music )

HALT! UNITED STATES MARSHAL!

GET AWAY FROM HIM, MARY.

I CAN'T!

STOP.

I'LL SHOOT!

I'M JUST TURNING HER LOOSE.

NO!

DAMN.

CINCH THAT UP.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR LEG?

I THINK IT'S BROKE.

SURE IS.

TWO PLACES.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I DON'T KNOW. I HAD HIM, BUT HE GOT AWAY.

I CAN SEE THAT. WHAT HAPPENED?

I HAD HIM IN SIGHT BUT I COULDN'T SHOOT HIM.

YOU HAD HIM IN YOUR SIGHTS?

HE HAD THE GIRL IN FRONT OF HIM.

I DIDN'T WANNA HIT HER.

( Noble ) GET OVER THERE.

GET UP, BOY.

I CAN'T.

STAND UP!

EITHER OF YOU KNOW WHICH WAY THEY'RE HEADED?

SEARCH ME.

I MEAN TO HAVE THAT GIRL SAFE. I'LL ASK YOU AGAIN.

WHERE'S STILWELL HEADED?

GUESS.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

ALL RIGHT, SAME QUESTION.

HE SAID HE WAS GONNA TAKE THE GIRL HOME.

WHICH WAY?

MARSH PASS, I THINK.

THAT'S 80 MILES. WHERE'S HE GONNA GET WATER?

I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S ALL HE SAID, I SWEAR.

SORRY, SON, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A HORSE FOR YOU.

PLEASE, YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME OUT HERE.

THERE'S PEOPLE IN LITTLE COLORADO, 15 MILES THAT WAY.

I CAN'T WALK ON THIS LEG.

GUESS YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK, THEN.

HERE, TAKE THIS.

WE'LL BE NEEDING THAT.

GET ON THAT HORSE, DAMN YOU.

PLEASE, MISTER! I'LL DIE OUT HERE.

HELLO. I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS FOR YOU.

I KNOW. TONIO BROUGHT HER BACK THIS MORNING.

WHAT ABOUT MY SISTER?

I'LL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO GET HER BACK.

I RODE OUT WITH LON AND HIS FATHER. THEY'RE UPSTREAM CATCHING SUPPER.

I HOPE YOU CAN STAY.

I CAME FOR A FRESH HORSE.

CAN I FILL THIS FOR YOU?

IF YOU WOULD.

( Noble ) I WOULDN'T BOTHER WITH THAT.

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THE REST OF THE HORSES TO THE RAILHEAD.

I'LL MEET YOU THERE WHEN I'M DONE.

I'M COMING WITH YOU.

I THINK IT'D BE BETTER IF YOU DIDN'T.

WHY?

WHY IN THE HELL NOT?

IS IT EASIER TO KILL 'EM IF I'M NOT WATCHING YOU?

THANK YOU.

I KNOW WHERE HE IS.

HOME SWEET HOME.

AN INDIAN CLIFF DWELLING. WE WERE THERE.

BE CAREFUL.

I WILL.

I'LL BRING HER BACK.

HELLO, THE HOUSE!

HI, CHIEF. WE'RE HOME.

I SAID, "WE'RE HOME."

LET'S GO, PRINCESS.

( dramatic music )

YOU SICK YOUR DOG ON ME?

LEAVE HIM ALONE!

YOU LIKE THAT INDIAN BETTER THAN YOU LIKE ME?

ANSWER ME, YOU DIRTY LITTLE WHORE!

GOODBYE, TRASH.

DON'T I GET A TRIAL?

YOUR HANDS ON A CHILD, ALL YOU GET IS DEAD.

NO!

( Mary ) PLEASE, MISTER.

DROP IT.

GET UP.

PUT YOUR HANDS UP.

NOBLE ADAMS.

RIGHT.

MISTER, TAKE ME HOME NOW, PLEASE.

I WANT TO SEE MY DADDY.

PLEASE GET UP, MISTER!

RUN!

YOU COME BACK OVER HERE AND STAY HERE!

GOTCHA GOOD, DIDN'T I?

NOW, YOU DON'T MIND

IF I TAKE THE PRINCESS FOR A RIDE, DO YOU?

( Jack ) I SAID

YOU DON'T MIND IF ME AND THE PRINCESS GO FOR A RIDE, DO YOU?

GO TO HELL.

NOT ME, MR. NOBLE.

NOT ME.

BACK SHOT ME.

MY GOD.

BLOOD'S DARK.

THE BULLET'S IN MY LIVER.

I'LL BE DEAD IN AN HOUR.

YOU'RE GONNA MAKE IT, SIR.

GET HIM.

I'LL BE BACK.

STAY THERE TILL I COME FOR YOU.

GO ON.

I KNOW WHEN I'M LICKED.

YOU GONNA HANG ME?

NO.

THEN THEY'LL SEND ME BACK TO YUMA.

NO, THEY WON'T.

THEY WON'T?

'CAUSE I'M SENDING YOU TO HELL.

AND LET'S JUST SEE WHAT'S IN THAT LEFT HAND OF YOURS.

HE GOT HIM.

HE DIE.

HE GO

BECOME LEGEND.

WAIT A MINUTE. HOLD ON. PUT HIM SOMEWHERE ELSE.

( man ) IT'S GONNA COST YOU.

( Tom ) I DON'T CARE.

I WON'T HAVE HIM IN THERE WITH MY FATHER.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO?

FIRST THING IS TO GET HIM BACK HOME.

TRY TO EXPLAIN TO MY STEPMOTHER HOW I GOT HER MAN KILLED.

IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.

WASN'T IT?

( Mary ) TOM!

I GOT YOU A NEWSPAPER. THE DENVER TIMES .

ONLY A WEEK OLD.

THANK YOU.

ALL ABOARD!

GOODBYE.

THANK YOU, TOM.

WHEN I GET THINGS STRAIGHTENED OUT, IF IT'S ALL RIGHT WITH YOU,

I'LL PAY YOU A CALL.

WE'D LIKE THAT.

I'LL SEE YOU THEN, IN THE SPRING.

Closed Captions ripped by: Tantico (Croatia) 11.2010.

"Pharaoh's Army"

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread

Till thou return unto the ground,

For out of it we was taken.

Dust thou art,

And unto dust shalt thou return.

Heavenly father,

Pick this child up on the healing side.

Put the grave behind

For the promise on the other side,

That she might live and abide with you.

When sister died,

There weren't none but women and old men to bury her.

All of the able-bodied men

Had gone off to fight the Civil War.

I know something about the Civil War.

The story I'm about to tell is true

As best I remember it.

We buried sister in the spring of 1862.

Later that night,

Some Yankee bastards dug her up

And tossed her out like a rag doll,

On account of Paps siding with the south.

In these Cumberland mountains

Down near the Tennessee line,

Half the folks sided with the south,

The other half sided with the north,

The neighbors turned against their neighbors,

And it was rough through here.

Giddyup.

Whoa.

We heard.

We can bury her again.

Israel can stand guard.

We're gonna take her home.

There'll be hell to pay.

So we brung sister back home to our place

Up at the end of Meshack Creek.

Ma was mad about things.

She held it in,

And we went on

With the work of feeding ourselves.

Mama!

Mama!

Whoa!

Mama, men coming.

Yankees.

They'll steal everything we got.

Will they hurt us?

Maybe not. Go on! Go on!

Are you Sarah Anders?

I am.

Ma'am, they say your husband's fighting

Against his country.

We have orders to resupply

With contraband from the enemy.

That means we'll take forage provisions from you.

We got some hungry boys down in Cumberland Gap.

I apologize for your hardship.

How many you got here with you?

How many?

Me and my boy.

Where is he?

Boy, you go stand by your mother.

Come here. Come here.

Ma'am, I will not hurt you or your boy

If you give us no trouble.

All right.

Take no prisoners.

You got a nice place.

I got a piece of bottomland

Across the River.

Ohio River. Brown County, Ohio.

Raise hogs, corn, sorghum, mostly.

You should stay there.

Ma'am?

Captain?

Uh, there weren't no hams in the smokehouse.

And there's no cows or pigs in the stall.

Just cow shit and pig shit.

Well, see what's in there.

Mmm. Bread.

She don't own nigs.

He work like them.

What you think he is fighting for?

Keep us from stealing his chickens?

That's a good reason.

Shit!

Johnny dog.

Neely, meet the elephant.

Shit...

That a fresh grave?

I'll tell where our cow is.

Well, I've seen all kinds of hiding places.

She's up there.

Rodie!

Newt!

Captain?

A cow is up there somewheres.

Neely, Chicago, come on up.

Captain, we take the mule?

Uhh...

No.

Ma'am, I apologize for the things this war makes.

Ugh...

Aah!

Newt!

Oh! Oh, no!

Newt!

I fell off! I fell off!

I fell off!

Roll him on his side.

Rodie, keep that leg still!

All right, somebody...

Somebody get him something to bite.

Oh, no! No!

Here, Newt, chew on this.

You all ready? 1, 2, 3!

Oh, no!

Let's get him to the house.

It hurts! It hurts.

Spin him!

There's a damn dog under the bed.

Well, I'll kill the sum'bitch!

Neely, rip up that pillowcase!

Yes, sir.

Ma'am, you got some liniment oil?

No.

You got some whisky?

No.

Well, can you boil water?

Get the turpentine out of the harness shed.

Rodie, get some water.

Neely, light that damn fireplace.

Hold still!

What's she got up there?

A ham and a rifle.

Captain?

All right, all right, soldier.

All right, all right. Settle down.

It burns, don't it?

Well...

You want a chew?

No.

Look, he's sweating.

We can't move him until the fever breaks.

You can sleep in there if you want to.

I told the men to sleep in the barn.

I'm gonna keep ahold of this musket of yours.

I don't like this at all...

Staying here.

We've got plenty to eat.

Yeah...

Maybe them buzzards will, too.

Is he gonna die?

Like Jesse?

If the skinny Yankee gets well,

He might be the one shooting at your pap.

You wash your face?

One day your pap will come around up the creek.

Until then, you're the man around here.

You need to sleep.

Got to bear up.

Captain?

It's me, Rodie.

Damn, Neely.

Captain, the woman's gone.

The woman's gone?

Mm-hmm.

You should try and get some sleep.

I'll look for her.

Yes, sir.

Elephant...

Elephant.

Who's there?

It's me.

Corporal Neely said you was gone.

Am I under arrest?

Who's buried here?

Excuse me for asking.

First Yankee that dies in Altmara,

I'm gonna go down,

And I'm gonna dig up the son of a bitch.

We buried her in Altmara.

The Yankees living down there wouldn't abide that...

Her mixed in with their damn Yankee kin.

Your daughter?

They dug her up.

We brought her back here.

Her pap don't even know.

She smelled so bad.

There'll be hell to pay.

Rodie?

Yeah?

Use the damn outhouse.

Sir?

There's a woman about.

Yes, sir.

It burns like hell, don't it?

Damn, it hurts.

Well, it's supposed to, now.

Is that fresh milk?

He can't keep the hard stuff down.

Thank you, ma'am.

Whoa, whoa.

Well, the Yankees could steal what we had,

But not what we hadn't got yet,

So I was determined to put in

Next year's corn crop.

I was young but I was stout,

And I could handle a mule as well as any man.

Your reins are too tight.

That's why she's drifting.

Whoa, whoa.

You need three fingers of slack right here.

I got a matched pair of sorrel mules back home

That turn on a skinny dollar.

Must be about 10, huh?

11.

That old, huh?

Put some salt in his feed,

And you might get

A couple more crop years out of her.

Come on, come on!

The Yankee captain

Asked if he could turn a few rows.

I didn't see the harm in it.

It made my job easier, you see.

And that morning was the first

I seen mama wear her green dress

To the plow field.

Hyah! Hyah!

How's Newt?

You ain't been in to see him?

Cain't.

Bad luck.

This is not bad luck. He is not dead.

It's a gut wound.

Ain't nothing you can do.

What's he doing out there?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

He is a widower.

He's, um... Brushing off the cobwebs.

He ain't much of a soldier.

Whoa, whoa.

Thank you, sir.

Where's your husband fighting?

The army of Tennessee.

Was he at Shiloh?

Yeah.

That was a bad mess.

You was there?

No... No.

No, we never been in a big scrape.

"meet the elephant," boys call it.

Ma'am, last night,

What you said about your little girl.

I'm real sorry.

Sorry don't do nothing.

Don't stop you from taking our cow or ham,

Killing our chickens.

Well, you have a corn crop.

Some have it worse.

So that's it?

You's out here blistering up your hands

To make you feel better about stealing from us?

If I was you,

I'd take advantage.

These blisters can't hold out much longer.

Come on.

Ahem.

What?

Hell, Neely, they were starting to smell.

Go ahead. Smell.

You can't leave dead chickens in a rucksack for 2 days!

Corporal!

Uh... Uh, captain?

Corporal.

Them chickens are starting to smell.

Well, pluck 'em.

Uh, pluck 'em, sir?

How do you do this?

I ain't.

I might.

They say you cannot know who does and who don't.

It will surprise you.

You ain't running

From the elephant, are you?

Me?

Yeah, you.

No.

You get shot a lot easier showing them your backside.

And you know something about this?

I joined up to fight.

No... No, I ain't running.

Yeah, I know something about it.

Rodie, we ain't soldiers. We are chicken thieves.

You kiss my brown spot.

I joined up to fight.

My brother saw action.

Wildcat, mule springs, Shiloh.

He said you become a new man

With your first shot.

Dead and dying hardly get a passing thought.

Become cool and deliberate.

Captain!

Corporal?

You hear it?

Hear what?

Gunfire.

Whoa, whoa. What?

There was shooting from over there.

Squirrel hunters most likely.

Go ride over and find out.

Ride over?

Might run straight up to an ambush.

I'm in charge.

Neely, only reason you got that stripe

Is you too bold-ass dumb

To think for yourself.

Are you a general?

General, huh?

No, just a captain.

How many men you killed?

You really want to know?

None.

Rodie?

What?

You feel cool and deliberate?

Nothing's moving.

Damn.

We should... We should bury them.

We'd have to hang around to do that.

You want to hang around?

Hyah!

Want a chew?

Thank you.

Captain.

There was a farm burnt down.

Some old man and his wife were killed.

Where?

There.

No more than 5 Miles up the creek.

You know whose place it is?

Yankees.

Ma'am, they weren't Yankees.

Just some old farmer and his wife.

They sent two boys into the union army.

They were just farmers.

Like I said, the war was rough through here.

How'd you sleep?

You're going to be fine, soldier.

Uh, how's Newt?

We're out of turpentine.

Captain, what do we do?

Oh... I don't know.

We need to feed the boys back at the Cumberland gap.

And that old farmer and his wife,

We should report back

That there's some guerrilla outfit

Running around killing unionists.

I think we got to wait Newt out.

He's too sick to ride.

We could hitch up the wagon to the mule,

Haul Newt out.

Giddyup, giddyup.

I won't let that woman and boy

Root hog or starve.

No. No, sir.

Whoa.

Will you let me do that?

I don't need your help.

Well, I like working with mules.

How's your hands?

Blisters on top of blisters.

Let me see.

Let me see.

All right.

That's fine. Thank you.

Come on!

I told you I got you.

I told you.

Captain, Newt took a poop.

I guess that's a good sign.

Rodie, make sure you clean up this porch.

My stomach hurts.

Worse than yesterday?

Mm-mmm.

Oh, you'll be fine.

You're not as hot.

How's he doing?

He's fine.

I'll make you some sassafras tea.

She's pretty.

You are feeling better.

Ohh...

Hey, Johnny, I'm sorry.

You crossed my artillery line there.

Here, I'll let you spit back.

Go ahead.

You're scaring the boy.

No, he ain't scared. Are you, Johnny?

Go ahead... Spit.

Rodie, you got a mean streak.

Cool and deliberate.

Captain?

Neely.

Uh, chicken's cooked.

Yes, yes.

I told you it was going to get burnt.

Pow...

Pow.

You are looking rather well this evening.

Leave him alone!

Go to hell.

Rodie!

Hey, hey, hey!

Is she crazy, captain?

Bastard!

Rodie hit her dog.

That damn Johnny dog ate my food, captain.

Soldier, I want you to apologize.

I'm telling you, captain, that woman is crazy.

If you want another plate, you'll apologize.

She hit me with a damn bucket!

Common decency tells you you don't pick up a woman

And throw her against a wall!

Private, you're dismissed!

Sir!

Hope you get a piece.

What'd you say, soldier?

Rodie, shut up.

Spent your whole damn day, what?

Plowing her corn. You cut her wood.

I'm sure she thinks you're a damn good samaritan.

You know what I think?

I think you just want a little poke.

Rodie! Rodie, stop it!

Come on, Rodie!

Rodie!

I hope you kills each other.

You rot in hell.

You rot in hell!

Come here. Come here.

We can't just sit by.

I want you to go tonight

To preacher's house

And tell him that there's Yankees here,

And he should get word to our people.

Don't talk to anyone but preacher.

And you have to be back before sunup.

You understand me?

Yes, ma'am.

These are yours.

Go on.

And I'm sorry.

There was some ugly things said tonight about...

They weren't true.

No?

Don't think they were true.

Your little girl died, and...

Well, my wife died 3 years ago.

I miss her.

Miss my farm, my boy.

I come here to your place,

And it looks a lot like my place...

We ain't gonna be friends.

Let's just keep to being enemies.

Yes, ma'am.

I forgot.

You have a better memory.

Ahem...

Is Newt asleep?

Yeah.

You know, I don't think Rodie

Mean to be disrespecting.

His brother was killed by a rebel sniper.

He get crazy thinking about it. He's...

Where are you from?

Chicago.

No, I mean before that.

This small village in Poland.

It's just very small.

You damn foreigner.

Why get mixed up in this?

I think I get to see new places,

I get tired of chopping sausage.

Pretty thin reason to get shot at.

You got a better one?

I've heard your big reasons.

To save the union.

This is what the generals say.

To free the slaves?

Nobody that I know want to get killed

To free a bunch of nigs.

It's a mess, ain't it?

Why did you... Sign up?

Minister.

Brought a runaway slave into our church

And ripped off his shirt.

Showed off the ugliest damn strap scars.

Right there from the pulpit,

The minister asked for volunteers,

And I stood up, and here I am...

Stealing chickens.

Hold on!

Who's there, Israel?

It's Miss Anders' boy.

They came up the creek on horses.

How many Yankees is there?

4... 5.

Which?

5. One's hurt real bad.

Pharaoh sent his army to smite Israel.

And they drowned in the red sea.

It was wrong what they done to your sister.

God's will is a powerful thing.

Mama, mama.

Where's your shoes?

What did preacher say? What?

That's it's going to be all right.

Is he going to get word to our people?

To your pap?

I think so.

Don't be so thick. What did he say?

I can't understand him.

Rodie, you can get shot for desertion.

You ain't gonna do it.

What makes you so sure?

Because... You ain't sure.

You ain't no killer.

They wouldn't send no fighting man

To rob widows and orphans.

You can't even do that.

Rodie?

If you desert, I'll kill you.

Got to go, captain.

Rodie.

Rodie!

Stop!

Shit! A sniper! God dang it, get down!

Get inside, get inside! Come on!

Go, go!

What is it?

Newt, keep your head down!

It's a damn sniper.

Is it pap?

I don't know.

Just keep still.

What the hell are you all shooting at?

We can't see the sons of bitches!

It's the elephant.

It is.

It's just a damn sniper.

I believe he's up on that hill.

Anybody here hurt?

You know who's up there?

You know who's out there?

Pap.

You need to say something?

You think Rodie's dead?

I don't know.

Captain?

What are we going to do?

You's all as good as dead.

It's time to meet the elephant.

I'll need one of you

To keep a gun on these... Rebs.

And I need the other to cause a faint.

Faint... What is?

It's a decoy to draw the enemy's fire.

Chicago, I think you better do the decoy.

Here.

Yes, sir, captain.

You shoot them if they try to run for it.

Shoot?

Ready... Go, go!

Get on!

Get out!

Get out!

Hold it!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

What the hell?

It's a nig.

Shooting for the wrong side.

#when the reaping is done #

#and the harvest is o'er #

#at the feet of the son

#we will labor no more

#serving faithfully...

You killed my boy.

And he killed a federal soldier.

You'll burn in hell for your sins.

Then I guess we'll meet again.

Next time don't send your boy.

Fight your own fights, you rebel bastard.

#when the reaping is done #

We ought to string up that damn rebel preacher.

#and the harvest is o'er #

#at the feet of the son

#we will labor no more

#serving faithfully

You get that wagon and mule ready.

We're hauling Newt out of here.

#what a Joy it will be

#when the reaping is done #

Hey!

You can't take our mule.

Oh, get him away from her!

Get him away!

Stop it.

Get him away!

Stop bein' so damn stubborn!

All right?

They're dead! They're dead!

You son of a bitch!

You hear me? You stop that!

Boy... Get away from me!

Boy, you get!

There'll be hell to pay.

Yeah, you said that before.

Go on in there.

Make sure she don't strangle Newt.

Yes, sir, captain.

Hitch up that mule, bring the wagon around.

Yes, sir.

We're getting out of here, Newt.

I'm gonna miss the dog.

Shit...

Ahh!

Sorry, Newt.

Captain, we are ready.

Should we say some words?

You say it for yourself.

Bye, Rodie.

Giddyup!

What do you expect us to eat?

Ma'am.

I says, what do you expect us to eat?

Ma'am, that husband of yours...

Why don't you bring him home?

We'll all eat good.

I'm leaving your rifle.

Maybe the boy can shoot squirrels.

Ma'am, I took your powder.

Let's go.

I thought she was sweet on him.

No, you can't trust johnnies.

Come on, mule.

Whoa, shit!

What the hell happened?

I want you both to stay here.

Yes, sir.

What's he doing?

I think he's wanting to kill somebody.

Ohh!

What'd you do?

What'd you do?

I shot.

Shot what?

I heard shooting.

I shot a Yankee.

Do they know it was you? Do they?

I don't know.

Come on! Come on!

Sarah Anders!

Did you forget something?

Newt was shot

About a mile down the creek.

You know anything about it?

No.

Where's your boy?

I sent him up the spring.

Boy! Come here!

Your pants are wet.

I was up at the spring.

He was up at the spring.

Come here, boy.

Come here!

Now, did you kill Newt?

You look at him.

Did you kill Newt?

Your mother might tell you that it's all right

To kill Yankees,

But I just want you to know that that boy,

He had a brother just like you.

And he had a family just like you!

And he never hurt a fly in his life!

And he wouldn't be dead

If you hadn't come down here stealing from us!

We was doing fine until you showed up.

Don't blame it on...

Go ahead...

Kill us.

You know it scares me.

'cause I could.

I really could.

I just hope whoever killed Newt

Has the common decency

To give him a Christian burial.

What'd you do to them?

You heard the shots.

Damn...

Get that damn Yankee out of our yard.

The captain asked us to do the decent thing.

I don't guess the Civil War was about being decent.

We dug up the big redhead

And floated him down Meshack Creek.

Ma said he come up that creek to cause trouble,

And we sent him back down where he come from.

We drug the skinny Yankee up a hill

To a sinkhole,

Where a big sycamore tree had fallen over

And turned up its roots.

We throwed the skinny Yankee in the sinkhole,

Throwed some dirt on him.

I don't guess ma hated the skinny Yankee

As much as the big redhead.

Pap never made it back.

That war was a widow-maker.

Ma told me to never never tell anyone

What we had done.

And I don't think I ever did,

Except maybe once or maybe twice.
