I'M MRS. JACOB TEALE,

AND THIS IS LABAN,
AND THIS IS RUTHIE.

MA'AM.

THIS GENT HERE
IS BEAVER SAMPSON.

HE'S RIDING SHOTGUN
AGAINST INDIANS.

THE GENTLEMAN GETTIN'
DOWN FROM THE COACH

IS TOM WILDY.

HE'S THE SUPERINTENDENT
OF THE STAGE LINE,

LORD HELP HIM.

I'M CHARLIE McCLOUD.

WE'RE TAKING THE FIRST STAGE
THROUGH TO LA MESA.

COME IN. YOU MUST BE HUNGRY.

WE WEREN'T
EXPECTING COMPANY,

BUT I'M SURE
WE CAN FIND SOMETHING.

LABAN, GET ME AN ARMFUL
OF WOOD.

YOU'LL FORGIVE
OUR ASTONISHMENT,

MRS. TEALE,

BUT WE WERE TOLD
THERE WAS NO ONE

LIVING IN THIS AREA
AT ALL.

ANYONE TELL YOU

THIS WAS INDIAN COUNTRY,
MA'AM?

WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY,

BUT WE'VE ONLY GONE
FOR FIREWOOD.

WE'VE STAYED
CLOSE TO HOME.

IS MR. TEALE ABOUT?

NO. HE'S GONE
TO THE SETTLEMENTS

TO BUY CATTLE.

TEALE.

I HAVEN'T HEARD
THAT NAME.

NOT THAT I KNOW EVERYONE
THAT PASSES THROUGH,

BUT A MAN
BUYING CATTLE,

YOU'D USUALLY HEAR
ABOUT SUCH THINGS.

YES. UH...
WELL, COME IN.

YOUR CABIN IS
QUITE WELL-BUILT.

MY HUSBAND
BUILT IT HIMSELF.

IT TOOK
QUITE SOME TIME.

OH, I IMAGINE SO.

MRS. TEALE...

WE'LL BE
RUNNING SOMEWHAT

OF A MAKESHIFT
AFFAIR FOR A WHILE,

AND I WONDER IF YOU
WOULD CONSIDER

TAKE ON THE FEEDING
OF OUR PASSENGERS

UNTIL WE GET OUR
STATIONS ESTABLISHED?

YOU COULD
MAKE YOURSELF

AS WELL AS THE COMPANY
A BIT OF MONEY.

THAT'S SCARCE,
I PRESUME.

YES. I COULD
DO THAT.

WE WOULD HAVE TO
LAY IN SUPPLIES.

OF COURSE.

YOU WOULD BE SAVING US
TROUBLE AND EXPENSE

IF YOU COULD HANDLE THIS

UNTIL WE
GET SETTLED DOWN.

YOU MAKE UP A LIST
OF WHAT YOU NEED,

AND I'LL McCLOUD
BRING IT

ON THE NEXT STAGE.

SURE.

HOW ARE YOU
WITH HORSES, SON?

COULD YOU
HARNESS THE TEAMS

AND GET THEM OUT FOR US

UNTIL YOUR PA
GETS HOME?

YES, SIR.
I HITCHED UP AND DROVE

WHEN WE CAME WEST
FROM MISSOURI.

YOU'LL BE
OUR HOSTLER, THEN.

WILL THE STAGES
COME OFTEN?

OH, NOT AT FIRST.
2 OR 3 A WEEK,

AND THEN
EVERY OTHER DAY--

ONE GOING EAST
AND ONE GOING WEST.

IT'LL DEPEND
ON THE BUSINESS.

WOULD YOU PASS
THAT JELLY, PLEASE?

THEY'LL BE BRINGIN'
THE HORSES OUT

IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS,
MRS. TEALE.

WE'LL SEE THAT
A LOAD OF FEED FOR THEM

GETS HERE
BEFORE THEY DO.

THANK YOU.

YOU KEEP A CLOSE LOOKOUT
FOR INDIANS, MA'AM.

THEY AIN'T BEEN
TROUBLESOME LATELY,

BUT YOU NEVER CAN TELL WHEN
THEY MIGHT START UP AGAIN.

NEVER GIVE THEM
ANYTHING.

THEY TAKE THAT
AS A SIGN OF FEAR.

MAKE THEM TRADE.
THEY COTTON TO THAT.

THANK YOU,
MR. McCLOUD.

I WILL REMEMBER.

THANKS AGAIN FOR
EVERYTHING, MRS. TEALE.

OH, MRS. TEALE.

IF I HAPPEN TO
SEE YOUR MAN,

I'LL TELL HIM YOU'RE
ALL FAIR AND WELL.

THANK YOU KINDLY.

MA'AM.

DUKE!

WILSON!

I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE TO
MAKE A BIGGER CORRAL.

HYAH! HYAH!

GO TO THE HOUSE!

WHOA!

HOWDY, HOSTLER!

HOWDY, MR. McCLOUD.

HOWDY, MRS. TEALE.

MR. McCLOUD.

PLEASE COME IN.

[CHUCKLING]

NAMED CONAGHER.

YEAH.
I MISJUDGED HIM.

NEXT TIME WE MEET,

WON'T BE OUR FISTS
WE'LL BE USING.

COME ON, KIOWA.

YOU BROUGHT IT ON
YOURSELF.

YOU PUSHED THE GENT
TOO FAR.

YOU THINK ABOUT IT,
YOU WON'T BLAME HIM NONE.

I WON'T BE

BUT I'LL KILL HIM.

HYAH!

UNDER HIS SADDLE.

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM, SON.

I'M A RIGHT PEACE-LOVIN' MAN.

WHO GAVE YOU
THE BLACK EYE?

NOBODY GAVE IT TO ME,
SON. I FOUGHT FOR IT.

WON'T YOU GENTLEMEN
COME IN FOR A BITE?

FOOD'S READY.

TAKE THAT
KINDLY, MA'AM.

COME ON, CONN.

LET'S EAT

A LOT OF FUN

DIGGING IN THIS
ROCKY GROUND, HUH?

YES, SIR.

WHEN YOU GO TO LAYING THAT
ROOF ON THE SHELTER THERE,

YOU OUGHTA TRY OVERLAPPING
THEM BOARDS A LITTLE BIT.

START AT THE BOTTOM

AND SET THE NEXT ONE
A MITE HIGHER.

HELP THE WATER
RUN OFF BETTER.

THANKS.

YES, SIR.

LET'S EAT.

BOY, I LIKE THAT.

NOTHING LIKE
A WIDE-OPEN VIEW.

THANK YOU, SON.

GET BACK IN THERE!

YOUR FATHER WILL BE
VERY PROUD OF YOU.

YOU'VE DONE A GOOD BIT
OF WORK SINCE HE LEFT.

NO COMPLAINTS, EITHER.

I'M PROUD OF YOU, TOO.

YOU KNOW, I LIKE
THAT MR. CONAGHER.

YEAH.

I DON'T KNOW.

HE SEEMS DIFFERENT
THAN THE OTHERS.

COME IN SOON, LABAN.

HELL OF A THING,

LEAVING A WOMAN AND 2 KIDS
OUT THERE ALL ALONE.

WHAT DO YOU FIGURE?

SHOULD WE GO ON IN?

WE'RE GETTIN' PAID
FOR THE JOB, AIN'T WE?

WE GET OUT OF HERE,
WE'LL GET 'EM IN THERE BY DARK.

SSS.

SSS.

GET IN THERE. YO!

WHO'S THERE?

IT'S AN APOSTLE
WITH AN EPISTLE.

OPEN UP,
YOU SODBUSTER,

AND LET A MAN IN.

YOU-ALL PUT YOUR HORSES
IN THE STABLE OVER THERE,

THEN COME ON IN.

I'LL GET THE COFFEE
ON THE FIRE.

COME ON IN.

[LAUGHS] REMIND ME
OF A COWPUNCHER

WHO WENT TO WASH
HIS FEET ONE SPRING.

FOUND HE HAD 2 PAIR OF SOCKS ON
HE DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD.

[LAUGHS]

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO

WHEN YOU PAY OFF,
CONAGHER?

GONNA GET DRUNK?

NOPE.

I'M GONNA RUSTLE ME A JOB,

A PLACE I CAN PUT
MY FEET UNDER THE TABLE

FOR THE WINTER.

I'M FOR SLEEPING.

WHERE CAN I
BED DOWN?

ANYPLACE
YOU CAN FIND.

DON'T MAKE ME
NO NEVERMIND.

YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO
SLEEP ON THE FLOOR.

THERE BE NO CARE.
I DON'T CARE.

YOU'VE BEEN HOLDING OUT
ON US, MRS. TEALE.

THEM'S THE FIRST COOKIES
I'VE KNOWN YOU TO MAKE.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU
LIKED THEM, MR. McCLOUD.

SOMETIMES I MAKE
FRIED CAKES, TOO.

YOU DO?
OH, LORDY.

YOU'LL HAVE TO
FORGIVE US, LADIES.

THE PLACE IS
RATHER PRIMITIVE.

I BETTER GO SEE
ABOUT THE STOCK.

MRS. TEALE.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

BUT IT'S SO DESOLATE
OUT HERE.

YES...

BUT THERE'S
SOMETHING HERE.

COME OVER HERE.

OH, I MISS THE THINGS
THAT WE HAD BACK EAST--

THE BAND CONCERTS
AND DANCES.

THE ONLY TIME
WE SEE ANYBODY

IS WHEN THE STAGE
PASSES THROUGH.

BUT I LOVE IT HERE.

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT MUSIC IS

UNTIL YOU HEAR
THE WIND IN THE CEDARS.

SOMEDAY I'M GONNA
GET ON A HORSE

AND RIDE OVER THERE

UNTIL I CAN SEE
THE OTHER SIDE,

IF THERE IS
ANOTHER SIDE.

WHERE IS
YOUR HUSBAND?

I THINK
HE'S GONE.

HE LEFT TO BUY CATTLE
OVER 3 MONTHS AGO,

AND THAT'S JUST TOO LONG
WITH NO WORD.

I SUPPOSE THERE'S
ALWAYS A CHANCE, BUT...

NO.

HE'S GONE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER,
SIS?

NOTHING.
LEAVE ME ALONE.

RUTHIE.

HE'S NOT DEAD.

HE'S NOT.

MY DADDY'S NOT DEAD.

IT'S BEEN
TOO LONG.

WE WOULD HAVE
HAD WORD BY NOW,

OR HE WOULD HAVE
BEEN HOME.

HE CAN'T BE DEAD.
YOU DON'T KNOW.

NO, I DON'T KNOW,

BUT I FEEL IT.

I FEEL IT
IN MY BONES.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

YOU REMEMBER
HOW YOU FELT

WHEN YOUR MAMA DIED?

KIND OF LOST
AND EMPTY?

I FELT THAT SAME WAY
WHEN MY OWN DADDY DIED.

I FEEL IT NOW.

BUT HE CAN'T BE GONE.

I'LL NEVER
SEE HIM AGAIN.

I DIDN'T EVEN GET
TO SAY GOOD-BYE.

IT'S JUST US NOW.

I LOVE YOU.

WHAT'S WRONG?

I SAW AN INDIAN

OVER THERE

IN THE JUNIPERS.

[ROOSTER CROWS]

OH, GOD.

LABAN!

RUTHIE!
COME HERE!

LET'S GO.

DON'T BE SO BOSSY.

RUTH, COME NOW!

OH! LET ME GO!

PUT ME DOWN.

INDIANS.

LABAN, THEY MUSTN'T KNOW
WE'RE AFRAID.

ALRIGHT, MA.

WHAT IS IT
THAT YOU WANT?

GRUB.

YOU GIVE US GRUB.

I'M SORRY.
I HAVE NONE TO SPARE.

YOU GIVE US GRUB,
OR WE TAKE HORSES.

WE TAKE COW.

WE DON'T WANT TROUBLE!

YOU MUSTN'T COME HERE
LIKE THIS.

[SPEAKING APACHE]

GO.

TELL THAT MAN TO LEAVE
THE HORSES ALONE!

[SPEAKING APACHE]

[GUNSHOT]

YOU GOT ONE, MA!

KILLED HIM,
FOR SURE.

ANOTHER ONE'S BLEEDING
SOMETHING AWFUL.

[SPEAKING APACHE]

[GUNFIRE]

OH, GOD.

I FORGOT
ALL ABOUT THE STAGE.

[GUNFIRE]

OH, GOD.

I'M ALRIGHT,
MA'AM.

HOW'S JOE?

AH!

WE COULD MOVE HIM
TO THE TABLE.

BETTER NOT.
HE MIGHT BE GUT SHOT.

I'VE GOT HOT WATER
ON THE HEARTH,

AND I'VE GOT BANDAGES.

I DON'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT WOUNDS.

I DO.
I SEEN A GOOD MANY.

BEEN TO A LOT
OF SHOOTIN' TOWNS.

HURRY, MA'AM.

UH...UH...

[GUNFIRE]

THANK GOD
YOU GOT A SOD ROOF.

WE GOTTA MOVE THAT COACH!

THEY'LL BURN IT
AND THE CABIN.

IT'S STONE.

MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.

THEY'LL BURN
THE DOOR DOWN

AND SHOOT
THROUGH THE HOLE.

ONE OF THE HORSES
IS DOWN.

CUT HIM LOOSE, MAN.
HERE. TAKE THIS.

[GUNFIRE]

HYAH!

HYAH!

GOOD WORK,
EVANS.

MUCH OBLIGED,
MRS. TEALE.

YOU SAVED MY LIFE,
FOR SURE.

THAT MOON'S GONNA
LIGHT THIS PLACE UP

LIKE HIGH NOON,
MA'AM.

HE DON'T LOOK
TOO GOOD.

THAT'S 'CAUSE
HE'S DEAD.

WILL THEY
STAY AND FIGHT,

MR. EVANS?

I FIGURE
THEY'LL PULL OUT.

I FIGURE THEY'LL
PICK UP THEIR DEAD

AND MAYBE TRY
FOR THE HORSES.

THEY'RE LIKELY
TO GO.

THEY'LL GO,
ALRIGHT.

THEY AIN'T OUT
TO WIN NO MEDALS.

[ROOSTER CROWS]

THANK YOU.

YOU ALRIGHT?

WHERE ARE YOU HEADED?

WEST.

MAYBE SAN FRANCISCO.

YOU'RE LUCKY. YOU GOT
A REAL NICE FAMILY HERE.

[WOLF HOWLS]

Conagher: THERE'S A RUSTLER'S
BRAND IF I EVER SAW ONE.

[WOLF HOWLS]

DAMN COLD OUT THERE.

TOO COLD.

MAKES A MAN WONDER

WHAT HE DID WITH
HIS SUMMER WAGES.

DON'T KNOW ANYBODY
AROUND HERE

WHO'S LOOKING
FOR A HAND, DO YOU?

THERE'S--

CAN'T SAY I DO.

MISTER, I'M IN
A SWAPPIN' MOOD.

I NEED A BOX
OF .44 CARTRIDGES

AND SOME BEANS
AND COFFEE.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE
TO SWAP?

I USUALLY DO A CASH-ON-
THE-BARRELHEAD BUSINESS.

IT'LL STAND
A CLEANING.

UNUSUAL FOR A MAN
TO WANT TO SWAP RIFLES.

THEY BELONG TO
A PAIR OF APACHES

THAT JUMPED ME
UP IN THE MUD HILLS.

THERE WAS 3 OF 'EM.

I HAD QUITE A GO-AROUND
FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

3 APACHES?

YOU'RE LUCKY
YOU GOT YOUR HAIR.

YOU SAID THERE WAS 3
OF THEM APACHES, MISTER?

YEAH.

HOW COME YOU'RE
ONLY SWAPPIN'

WITH 2 RIFLES?

BECAUSE I ONLY KILLED
TWO OF THEM.

WOUNDED A THIRD,
BUT HE MADE IT TO COVER.

DID YOU GO IN AFTER HIM
AND HUNT HIM DOWN?

MISTER, NOBODY BUT A FOOL

WOULD GO INTO THE ROCKS
AFTER A WOUNDED APACHE.

I'LL SWAP...

AND I'LL GIVE YOU
A COUPLE OF DOLLARS

AND THROW IN
AN EXTRA BOX OF .44s

FOR THEM YOU USED UP
IN THE FIGHT.

MOST APACHES AROUND HERE
IS GOOD PEOPLE.

IT'S THEM SOUTH-OF-THE-BORDER
APACHES THAT GIVE US TROUBLE.

THEY ATTACKED
A STAGE STATION

DOWN THE LINE
WHERE THAT WOMAN RUNS IT.

TEALE?

THEY DIDN'T
KILL HER?

NAH. SHE MADE UP
QUITE A FIGHT.

SHE AND THEM YOUNGSTERS.

THEN THE STAGE CAME IN,
ALL BLOODIED UP,

BUT AMONGST THEM,
THEY FOUGHT 'EM OFF.

YEAH.

MIGHT AS WELL SIT DOWN
AND HAVE SOME COFFEE.

YOU AIN'T GOING FAR
TONIGHT.

THANKS.
I'LL MOVE ON.

MIND IF I ASK
YOUR NAME?

NAME'S CONAGHER.

YOU SHOULD HAVE GOT HERE
A MITE EARLIER, SMOKE.

YEAH? HOW'S THAT?

THAT RIDER
THAT JUST LEFT--

HE CALLED HIMSELF
CONAGHER.

I'LL SEE
IF IT'S HIM.

HOLD IT, STAPLES.

I MEAN TO KILL
THAT SON OF A BITCH.

DO YOUR KILLING
ON YOUR OWN TIME.

COME ON.
LET'S GET DRUNK.

PASENLE, MUCHACHOS.

COME ON.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

HOW ARE YOU SODBUSTERS
DOING?

SODBUSTERS?

LABAN, WOULD YOU BRING US
SOME MORE WATER?

YOU RIDING THE GRUB LINE
OR LOOKING FOR A JOB?

JOB IF I CAN GET IT.

A MEAL IF I CAN'T.

YOU GOT ANY SAND?

I WON'T HAVE ANY MAN
RIDIN' FOR ME

THAT'S GONNA TURN
AND RUN FOR TOWN

THE FIRST TIME
HE SEES A PONY TRACK.

I'VE FOUGHT INDIANS.

RUSTLERS, TOO.

DON'T THINK MUCH
OF TOWN ANYWAY.

SUPPER WILL BE
ON THE TABLE

IN ABOUT
A HALF AN HOUR.

YOU GOT TIME TO WASH UP
AND STOW YOUR BELONGINGS.

ON THIS OUTFIT,

I FURNISH THE HORSES
AND AMMUNITION.

I ALLOW NO FIGHTIN'
AMONG MY HANDS,

AND ANYTIME YOU CAN'T
STAND UP TO THE WORK,

I'LL GIVE YOU 2 DAYS' GRUB
AND A HEAD START.

DOES THAT SOUND FAIR?

YES, SIR.

LOOK WHAT THE CAT
DRAGGED IN.

THE OLD MAN
HIRE YOU?

HELL, SOMEBODY'S
GOT TO DO THE WORK.

NOW I CAN SEE WHY
HE WAS SO ANXIOUS

TO GET A GOOD MAN.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR
JOB WITH THE STAGE LINE?

OH, YOU KNOW ME, CONN.

NEVER DID MUCH LIKE SITTING UP
IN ONE PLACE TOO LONG,

DOIN' THE SAME THING
EVERY DAY.

SO YOU QUIT
A GOOD TOWN JOB

SO YOU CAN RIDE LINE
THIS TIME OF YEAR?

IT'S THE PAY.

PAY'S BETTER HERE.

YEAH. SURE IT IS.

ANYTHING
STRIKE YOU PECULIAR

ABOUT THIS SETUP?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"PECULIAR"?

HIRING MEN
THIS TIME OF YEAR.

USUALLY
THE OLD HANDS

HANG AROUND FOR
THE WINTER MONTHS.

[TRIANGLE RINGS]

LET'S EAT.

FEED'S REAL GOOD.

YOU NEVER ATE
SUCH GRUB.

OLD MAN FOUND
SOME CHEF

GOT THROWED OUT
OF SOME HOTEL BACK EAST.

DAMN GOOD FOOD.

MEN CAN'T WORK WELL
ON POOR FEED.

IF OLD JOHNNY WERE HERE,

HE'D BE LICKING
THESE PLATES CLEAN.

McGIVERN?

YEAH. HE RODE IN
WITH ME.

YOU'LL SEE HIM OUT THERE
TOMORROW ON YOUR SWING.

WELL, GOOD.

CONAGHER, I MIGHT
AS WELL TELL YOU NOW.

2 OF MY HANDS
JUST UP AND QUIT

JUST BEFORE MAHLER
AND McGIVERN RODE IN.

DO YOU SHARE ANY RANGE
WITH THE LADDER FIVE?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT THE LADDER FIVE?

I SAW A COUPLE
OF THEIR HANDS

OVER TO
HORSE SPRINGS STATION.

NONE OF 'EM
WAS FRIENDLY.

WELL, WE'VE HAD NO TROUBLE
WITH THEM YET.

WELL, I NEVER
SEEN THEM BEFORE.

NEVER EXPECT TO AGAIN.

I JUST COME HERE
HUNTING A RIDIN' JOB.

I WOULDN'T SAY ANY MORE
ABOUT THE FIVE

IF I WAS YOU.

NO NEED LETTIN' THE OLD MAN
GET HIS WIND UP.

NONE OF MY AFFAIR.

I JUST WANT A PLACE
TO SIT OUT THE WINTER.

YOU KNOW, A MAN
OUT THERE ON A HORSE,

ALL ALONE...

BE A SITTING DUCK
FOR A MAN WITH A RIFLE.

BE REAL FOOLISH
TO RISK THAT NOW,

WOULDN'T IT?

WHAT'S EATING YOU,
CONAGHER?

YOU TELL ME.

I ASSUME MAHLER GAVE YOU
THE LAY OF THE LAND.

I THINK HE'S TOLD ME
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW.

CONAGHER, I GOT
NOTHIN' BUT RESPECT

FOR AN HONEST COWHAND.

I TAKE A MAN'S MONEY, MR. TAY,
I RIDE FOR THE BRAND.

[CATTLE LOWING]

HYAH! HYAH!

YOU COWS!
HYAH!

YOU COWS!
HYAH!

HOO!

WHERE YOU GOING
WITH THEM STEERS?

BACK TO THEIR HOME RANGE.

YOU SEE
THEY'RE S.T. COWS.

I DON'T BELIEVE
I KNOW YOU.

ARE YOU A NEW RIDER
FOR TAY?

MM-HMM. NAME'S CONAGHER.

WELL, I'M TILE COKER.

YOU BETTER HAVE A CHAT
WITH CHRIS MAHLER.

WE'VE TALKED BEFORE.

ME AND CHRIS RODE FOR
THE STAGE COMPANY A WHILE BACK.

OH? YOU THE GENT THAT
BUSTED UP KIOWA STAPLES?

WE HAD A DIFFICULTY.

I HEARD ABOUT IT.

YOU AND CHRIS SHOULD
GET BETTER ACQUAINTED,

SAVE US ALL
SOME TROUBLE.

MAYBE.

[HARMONICA PLAYING]

CONN.

PRETTY SONG.

THANKS.

THEM COWS SEEM TO BE
IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE.

I SEEN A FEW OF THEM
DRIFTING, THOUGH.

YEAH?

WELL, DID YOU SEE
ANYBODY?

ONLY A PUNCHER
NAMED COKER.

RIDES FOR THE LADDER FIVE.

DID YOU TALK MUCH?

NAH. NOT MUCH.

AH. GOOD COFFEE.

MY MA TAUGHT ME.

YEAH?

YEAH. SHE HAD TO WORK

BECAUSE MY PA WAS KILLED
IN A TRAIN CRASH

WHEN I WAS 6.

SHE HAD NERVE.

TAKES NERVE
TO BRING UP A BOY

WHEN A WOMAN'S ALONE.

I ALWAYS WISHED
I COULD HAVE KNOWN

WHAT MY PA WAS LIKE.

YEAH. A BOY
SHOULD KNOW HIS PA,

NEEDS SOMEONE
TO LOOK UP TO.

THERE WAS A MAN,

WORKED IN THE STORE
NEAR US.

SOMETIMES WHEN WE
HADN'T ANY MONEY,

HE LET US HAVE
GROCERIES ANYWAY

TILL WE COULD PAY.

DON'T KNOW IF MA
EVER DID MANAGE

TO PAY HIM ALL
OF IT.

SOMEDAY YOU OUGHT TO
GO BACK AND FIND OUT,

PAY WHAT YOU OWE.

I THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

YOU THINK I SHOULD?

MM-HMM.

CONN?

YEAH?

WHY DIDN'T YOU DRAW
ON KIOWA?

YOU MEAN, WAS I AFRAID?

STAPLES DIDN'T NEED KILLIN'.

HE NEEDED TO BE
TAUGHT A LESSON.

HE'D HAVE KILLED YOU
IF HE HAD THE CHANCE.

HE MIGHT HAVE,

BUT I'LL TELL YOU
SOMETHIN', KID.

ANY MAN WHO KILLS
WHEN HE CAN DO OTHERWISE

IS CRAZY,
JUST PLUMB CRAZY.

SOME MEN TAKE A SIDE
OF KILLING, JOHNNY.

JUST MAKE SURE
WHEN THE KILLING TIME COMES

YOU'RE STANDING
ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

WHOA!

HOWDY,
MR. McCLOUD.

HOWDY, SON.

HEY, SON.

OH, HOWDY, MRS. TEALE.

MR. McCLOUD.

THEY'RE KIND OF
BEAT UP,

BUT HERE'S SOME READIN'
FOR YOU.

THANK YOU.
NO PASSENGERS TODAY?

NO, MA'AM, NOT TODAY.
JUST SAMPSON AND MYSELF.

YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN
TO HAVE

ANY OF THOSE COOKIES,
WOULD YOU?

YOU BET.

BEEN READIN' POEMS,
MRS. TEALE?

IN THE EVENING.
I SIT OUTSIDE.

IS SOMETHING WRONG?

MRS. TEALE,
THIS AIN'T EASY FOR ME,

AND I'M SURE IT MUST BE
A LOT HARDER FOR YOU,

BUT SOMETHING--

BE IT INDIANS OR THIEVES
OR NATURE--

HAS TAKEN YOUR HUSBAND.

WE KNOW THAT,
MR. McCLOUD.

IS THERE
SOMETHING ELSE?

YES, MA'AM.

IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS,

RED ROCK STATION'S
GONNA BE FINISHED.

WE'LL BE STOPPING THERE
INSTEAD OF HERE.

STOPPING?

YES, MA'AM.

NOW, I--

I KNOW YOU BEEN MAKIN'
SOMETHING OFF OF US,

BUT THE TIME'S
ALMOST AT AN END.

HOW ARE YOU FOLKS
GONNA MAKE IT?

WELL,

WE'D HOPED TO HAVE
A HERD BY NOW.

YES, MA'AM.

MRS. TEALE...

YOU AND THOSE YOUNG-UNS

WOULD BE A LOT
BETTER OFF IN TOWN,

AND YOU'D HAVE
A LOT BETTER CHANCE

OF FINDING
A GOOD MAN THERE, TOO.

THE CHILDREN AND I
ARE STAYING HERE.

AND IF I MARRY AGAIN,
MR. McCLOUD,

IT WILL BE ONLY FOR LOVE.

YES, MA'AM.

I'VE GOT TO BE GOING,
MRS. TEALE,

BUT I'LL COME BY WHEN I CAN
TO CHECK ON YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. McCLOUD.

THANK YOU
FOR EVERYTHING.

YOU'VE BEEN
A GOOD FRIEND.

I WON'T FORGET YOU.

YES, MA'AM.

THANK YOU.

"SOMETIMES WHEN I'M ALONE...

"I FEEL I WILL DIE

"IF I DO NOT TALK
TO SOMEONE.

"I AM ALONE SO MUCH.

"I LOVE TO HEAR
THE WIND IN THE GRASS

OR IN THE CEDARS."

WELL, WE'VE ALREADY ET,

BUT THE COFFEE'S
STILL HOT.

WELL, THANKS.

ANY TROUBLE?

NO, NOT YET,
BUT IT'S COMING.

I DON'T KNOW YOU,
COWBOY,

AND YOU DON'T
KNOW ME...

BUT IF YOU GOT ANY IDEAS
ABOUT BUCKIN' TROUBLE,

I'M AFRAID YOU'LL
HAVE TO GO IT ALONE.

YOU WON'T HELP ME?

WELL, I'M UP
INTO MY 7Os, BOY,

AND I GOT A BUM TICKER,
TO BOOT.

I WAS KIND OF HOPING
TO JUST LIVE OUT MY DAYS

AND NOT DIE
OUT ON SOME SANDY SLOPE

WITH LEAD
IN MY GUTS.

IF THEY GET ME
OUT ON THAT RANGE,

THEY'LL KILL ME,
FOR SURE,

THEN JUST TAKE MY CATTLE
AS THEY PLEASE.

NOBODY'D STOP 'EM.

WHAT IF THEY COME
AFTER YOU?

THEY COME AFTER ME,
I'LL DAMN SURE FIGHT.

YOU BETTER KEEP
A RIFLE HANDY.

[THUNDER]

WHAT'S GOT INTO YOU,
CONN?

WE GOT A GOOD THING
GOING HERE,

YOU PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT.

WHAT DON'T YOU LIKE,
CHRIS?

AH, THERE'S NO NEED
TO STIR UP TROUBLE.

YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR A PLACE

TO SET UP
FOR THE WINTER, RIGHT?

YOU GOT IT.

SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST
SIT STILL RIDE IT OUT?

COME SPRINGTIME,
YOU CAN DRIFT.

I TAKE A MAN'S MONEY

AND DO THE JOB
HE PAID ME FOR.

I DON'T KNOW
NO OTHER WAY.

I GUESS YOU DON'T.

YOU'RE NO TENDERFOOT.

LADDER FIVE
IS SMOKE PARNELL'S OUTFIT.

YOU RUN AFOUL OF THEM,

THEY'LL NAIL YOUR HIDE
TO THE BARN DOOR.

HMM.

TELL ME SOMETHING,
CHRIS.

WHERE DO YOU STAND?

FOR THE BRAND?

YOU RUNNIN' SCARED?

OR ARE YOU SELLIN' OUT

TO THAT DAMNED BUNCH
OF HIGHBINDERS ON THE FIVE?

I OUGHT TO MAKE YOU
DRAW YOUR GUN FOR THAT.

DAMN YOU, CONN.
YOU'RE PUSHING ME.

SEEMS TO ME I'M THE ONE
WHO'S BEING PUSHED.

YOU'RE A DAMN FOOL.

THEY'RE GONNA CLEAN
THAT OLD MAN OUT BY SPRING.

NOW, YOU CAN DO YOUR JOB

AND LOOK THE OTHER WAY

OR YOU CAN SET YOURSELF UP
FOR A TARGET.

YOU GOT A CHOICE.

NO,
YOU GOT A CHOICE.

YOU CAN THROW YOUR PACK
ON YOUR HORSE

AND RIDE
OUT OF HERE TONIGHT,

OR YOU CAN GO
FOR THAT GUN.

ALRIGHT.

ALRIGHT.

I'M PULLIN' OUT.

I'M TAKIN' JOHNNY WITH ME,

AND THAT JUST LEAVES YOU
AND THE OLD MAN.

HOW FAR IS THAT
GONNA TAKE YOU?

NONE OF US IS GONNA
GET OUT OF THIS ALIVE.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING
A MAN KNOWS ABOUT LIFE.

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I JUST QUIT.

GET YOUR GEAR.
WE'RE HEADING OUT.

WHERE?

I'M JOINING UP
WITH THE FIVE.

IS THIS YOUR DOIN'?

NOPE.

IT'S HIS.

HE DECIDED
HE COULDN'T SWINDLE A MAN

WHO PAID HIM HONEST WAGES.

YOU TALK TOO MUCH.

COME ON, KID.

YOU'RE MY PARTNER,
AIN'T YA?

WELL, SURE, CHRIS.

ARE YOU COMING
OR NOT?

CONN.

YOU BOYS
SADDLED THIS BRONC.

LET'S SEE
IF YOU CAN RIDE IT.

I'M STAYING HERE, CHRIS.

THE HELL
WITH BOTH OF YA!

"WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL,

"I DREAMED OF
A HANDSOME KNIGHT

"THAT WOULD COME
ON A WHITE CHARGER

AND CARRY ME AWAY."

THAT LETS YOU OUT.

"LAST NIGHT, I WALKED OUT
AND LOOKED UP AT THE STARS.

HOW I WISH I KNEW
THE NAMES OF THE STARS."

HOLD UP!

JACKSON!

JACKSON.

GET ON, DAMN IT!
GET ON!

GET YOUR FOOT
OUT OF THE DAMN STIRRUP!

[GUNSHOT]

OH, COME ON, SMOKE!

GET OUT OF HERE!

WELL, THAT OLD HORSE
OF YOURS

LOOKS PLUMB
TUCKERED OUT.

YEAH.
HE'S PAYING THE PRICE

FOR ME MAKING YOU
SHORT-HANDED.

IF YOU'RE WORRIED
ABOUT MAHLER, DON'T.

I'D HAVE DONE MORE
THAN JUST RUN HIM OFF.

WE PUSHED A LOT OF COWS
BACK INTO THE HILLS TODAY.

GOOD.
SEE ANY RIDERS?

OH, SMOKE PARNELL
AND A COUPLE OF HIS MEN.

KINDA STIRRED THE POT
A MITE.

SMOKE SEEMED KIND OF MAD.

DID YOU SEE MAHLER?

NOPE.

THAT FIGURES.

WELL, YOU BETTER EAT
AND GET YOURSELF SOME REST.

I'LL STAND WATCH
REST OF THE NIGHT.

McGIVERN WILL BE UP
AT FIRST LIGHT.

[PLAYING MY DARLING CLEMENTINE]

AH, SHE AIN'T WRITING
TO YOU, SADDLE BUM.

HMMM.

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOT]

GOOD SHOT, OLD MAN.

CONN,

YOU OK?

OK, JOHNNY.

[GUNSHOT]

YOU HIT BAD?

YES, DAMN YOU.

YOU CAME ASKIN' FOR IT.
I DIDN'T SEND NO INVITES.

AHH...

ARE YOU
GONNA HELP ME?

YOU GOT A MAN HURT
DOWN HERE!

YOU WANT
TO COME AND GET HIM,

PUT YOUR RIFLE DOWN
AND COME ON!

HOLD YOUR FIRE!

I'M COMIN' DOWN!

OHHH!

UGHH.

HE'S GUT-SHOT!

I CAN'T TAKE HIM
BACK UP THAT HILL.

BRING HIM INSIDE!

WANT ME TO DROP
MY GUN BELT?

NAH. KEEP IT!

IF YOU FEEL LUCKY,
GRAB FOR IT!

UGHHH.

YOU DON'T THINK
TOO MUCH OF US, DO YOU?

A BUNCH OF 2-BIT THIEVES

THAT'D RUSTLE
AN OLD MAN'S COWS?

YOU OUGHT TO THINK ABOUT
QUITTIN' THIS BUNCH.

WELL, CAN YOU--
CAN YOU DO ANYTHING FOR HIM?

THE MAN'S DYIN',
KID.

NOW GET BACK UP
THAT HILL.

YOU COME AFTER ME AGAIN,
YOU BETTER BE USIN' THAT GUN

'CAUSE I'LL BE AIMIN'
FOR YOUR GUTS.

YOU'RE A HARD MAN,
CONAGHER.

IT'S A HARD COUNTRY,
KID.

[MOANING]

BLEEDIN' ALL OVER MY BED,
COWBOY.

I'M HURT BAD,
DAMN YOU.

UGHHH!

OH, JACKSON--
HE USED TO RIDE FOR ME.

HE WAS A GOOD HAND, TOO,

TILL HE TOOK TO RIDIN'
WITH THAT LADDER FIVE OUTFIT.

WHAT DO YOU RECKON IT IS

THAT MAKES A MAN
GO TO HELL THAT-A WAY?

IT'S THE MONEY,
MR. TAY.

AIN'T IT?

GIVE US A HAND HERE,
JOHNNY.

THE MONEY...

GOD HELP US
IF THAT'S ALL IT IS.

STORM'S COMIN'.

SURE LOOKS LIKE IT.

CONAGHER!

I SAW 'EM!

TILE COKER
AND 3 OTHERS.

WHERE?

ABOUT 4 MILES EAST,

PUSHING
25, 30 HEAD NORTH.

IF IT GOES
TO SNOWIN',

IT'LL COVER
THEIR TRACKS.

I'LL GET MY GEAR
AND FOLLOW.

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH!

YO!

HYAH!

HYAH!

KEEP YOUR EYE OPEN,
JOHNNY.

MA, I HEARD SOMETHING
BACK THERE!

SOUNDED LIKE A LOT
OF CATTLE BAWLING.

SOME MEN WITH THEM.

DID THEY SEE YOU?

I DON'T THINK SO.

I JUST SAW 'EM
KIND OF SHADOW-LIKE

THROUGH THE RAIN.

RUTHIE, GO IN
AND STOKE UP THE FIRE.

WHEN I GET DONE HERE,
WE'LL HAVE SUPPER.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

WHO'S THERE?

IT'S A HALF-DROWNED
COWPUNCHER

LOOKING TO COME IN
OUT OF THE RAIN.

HOWDY, MRS. TEALE.

MR. CONAGHER,
WON'T YOU COME IN?

BETTER
SEE TO MY HORSE.

I'LL GET HIM.

WAIT!
I'M COMING, TOO!

WHERE ON EARTH
DID YOU COME FROM?

A RANCH SOUTH
OF HERE.

GO ON OVER
BY THE FIRE.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

YOUR ROOF LEAKS.

YES.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN OUT THERE?

COUPLE OF DAYS.

HERE.

HAVE SOME SOUP.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

MY NAME IS EVIE.

I RUBBED
YOUR HORSE DOWN, SIR.

SORRY
WE HAVE NO GRAIN.

FEED THAT MUSTANG GRAIN,

HE'D FIGURE YOU WAS TRYING
TO POISON HIM.

THANK YOU, SON.

THAT HORSE HAS COME
A FAR PIECE.

KIND OF BAD WEATHER
TO BE TRAVELING IN.

I WAS FOLLOWING
SOME RUSTLED CATTLE,

LOST THEIR TRAIL
IN THE RAIN

AND THE DARK.

SEEN ANY COWS?

YES, SIR. I SAW SOME.

I THINK THEY'RE BEIN'
HELD IN A CORRAL

OVER BACK OF US,

BACK IN THE MOUNTAINS
A FEW MILES.

HOW MANY MEN?

I DON'T KNOW, SIR.
MAYBE ONLY A COUPLE.

MIGHT BE MORE.

WE COULD SEND WORD
BY THE NEXT STAGE,

AND THE SHERIFF
COULD COME FROM LA MESA.

NAH, MA'AM, I RECKON
I'LL MOSEY UP THERE

AND START
THEM COWS BACK.

IF YOU COULD WAIT
A COUPLE OF DAYS,

WE MIGHT GET SOME HELP
FOR YOU.

MRS. TEALE,
ANY MAN WHO ASKS FOR HELP

BETTER NOT START OUT
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

NIGHT, MOM.

GOODNIGHT,
RUTHIE.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

NIGHT, SON.

GOODNIGHT,
MR. CONAGHER.

I HEARD ABOUT YOUR SKIRMISH
WITH THE INDIANS.

AHH, THAT SEEMS
LIKE AN AGE AGO.

THINGS HAVE SUCH A WAY
OF PASSING HERE.

YOUR MAN
NEVER CAME BACK.

NO.

I KNOW THAT JACOB
WAS KILLED

OR INJURED
IN SOME TERRIBLE WAY.

HE WASN'T A MAN
JUST TO GO OFF

AND STAY GONE.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[CATTLE LOWING]

[COUGHING]

[GUNSHOT]

ALRIGHT, GET BACK!

[GUNSHOT]

I SAID BACK UP!

WHERE'S THE OTHER TWO?

OUT FOR A WALK.

GET OVER THERE AND
GET THEM HORSES SADDLED

AND BE QUICK ABOUT IT!

COKER, GET INSIDE
AND THROW OUT THE COATS.

DAMNED IF I WILL!

YOU'D BE DAMNED
IF YOU DON'T!

COME UP WITH ANY IRON,

AND YOU'LL BE LAYIN'
THERE NEXT TO YOUR PARTNER.

FOR GOD'S SAKE, MAN,

YOU AIN'T GONNA LEAVE ME HERE
TO BLEED TO DEATH?

JUST LIE THERE, AND BE GLAD
YOU AIN'T GUT-SHOT.

WHAT ABOUT
OUR OUTFITS?

TO HELL WITH YOUR OUTFITS.
GET NEW ONES.

PARNELL'S GONNA KILL YOU
FOR THIS.

SHERIFF DOWN LA MESA
IS JUST A-WAITIN' FOR YOU,

SO YOUR BEST BET'S EAST.

EAST? THERE AIN'T A TOWN
OR PLACE FOR 50 MILES.

WELL, THAT'S THE LIFE
OF AN OUTLAW.

TOUGH, AIN'T IT?

SON, HOW'D YOU LIKE TO
MAKE A COUPLE DOLLARS

AND TAKE A FREE RIDE
ON THE STAGE?

YES, SIR. I'D LIKE IT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

HELP ME TAKE THAT HERD
TO LA MESA.

IS IT ALRIGHT, MA?
CAN I GO?

YES.

YES, YOU CAN.

YOU'LL TAKE GOOD CARE
OF HIM, MR. CONAGHER?

YES, MA'AM.

LIKELY HE'LL TAKE
GOOD CARE OF ME.

MY PA
WAS GOING TO GO

INTO THE CATTLE
BUSINESS.

WELL, MAYBE YOU'LL
DO IT FOR HIM SOMEDAY.

[CHUCKLES]

MY OLD MAN
FIGURED I WAS LOCO

WHEN I STARTED
PUNCHIN' COWS.

HOW OLD WERE YOU?

OH...

ABOUT 12.

YOU KEEP SHY OF ME
UNTIL WE LEAVE.

A SALOON'S NO PLACE
FOR A BOY,

BUT WE'VE GOT
BUSINESS TO DO.

YES, SIR.

YOU TOM WEBB?

I AM.

I RIDE FOR THE S.T.

I GOT 27 HEAD OF GOOD CATTLE
DOWN AT THE PENS

I'D LIKE TO SELL.

WELL, I CAN
USE THE CATTLE,

BUT ISN'T THIS AN ODD
TIME TO BE SELLIN'?

THIS IS RECOVERED
STOLEN STOCK.

IT'S TOO FAR A PIECE

TO DRIVE THEM BACK
TO THE OUTFIT.

WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, I TRAILED THEM TO A CABIN
NORTH OF MRS. TEALE'S PLACE.

RECOVERED THE STOCK

AND THEN ME AND THIS OTHER
COWPUNCHER DROVE 'EM HERE.

ANY IDEA
WHO THE MEN WERE?

THEY WERE ALL RIDIN'
LADDER FIVE HORSES.

WELL, LET'S WALK OVER
AND LOOK AT THOSE CATTLE.

"OH, BALEEN,

"TWO BODIES THOU HAS SLAIN
IN ONE HEART,

"AND TWO HEARTS IN ONE BODY,

"AND TWO SOULS
THOU HAS LOST.

"AND THEREWITH
SHE TOOK THE SWORD

"FROM HER LOVE
THAT LAY DEAD

AND FELL TO THE GROUND
IN A SWOON."

[GUNSHOT]

WELL.

WELL, LOOKY HERE.

I KNEW I HIT HIM.

OK, BACK-SHOOTER,
WHERE IS HE?

THE IDEA WAS TO TRAP HIM.

I'LL FIND HIM,
AND I'LL KILL HIM.

WHAT DIFFERENCE
DOES IT MAKE?

Parnell: OK, DAMN IT.

SPREAD OUT,
AND LET'S FIND HIM.

SMOKE.

HE'S AROUND HERE
SOMEWHERE.

IF HE WENT OVER HERE,
HE'S A DEAD MAN.

YOU CAN NEVER TELL
ABOUT HIM.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE.

Parnell: TILE, YOU
HEAD BACK TO THE OUTFIT

AND GET CHRIS.

SEE WHAT'S GOIN' ON
AT TAY'S PLACE.

Tile: HOW MUCH LONGER
ARE YOU GONNA STAY?

WE'LL KEEP LOOKIN'
UNTIL DARK.

WE'LL PULL OUT
IN THE MORNING.

WAIT A MINUTE.

[HORSES RIDE AWAY]

DAMN YOU, PARNELL.
JUST LAY THERE,

AND DON'T EVEN SCRATCH.

YOU, DISH UP

A PLATE OF THAT GRUB.

JUST REACH OVER
AND LADLE IT UP!

BUENO.

NOW, PARNELL,
I'M GONNA RIDE OUT OF HERE...

AND YOU BOYS ARE GONNA GET UP
AND LEAVE THE COUNTRY.

YOU HAD YOUR TRY AT ME,
AND YOU FAILED.

COME NOON TOMORROW,
I'M GONNA COME HUNTIN' YOU,

AND I'M GONNA SHOOT IT
ON SIGHT.

MEET YOUR MAKER,
CONAGHER!

COME ON,
STAPLES.

THERE'S ONE
DEAD ONE ALREADY.

YOU'RE LOCO.
[CHUCKLES]

PLUMB
COMPLETELY LOCO.

JUST LOCO ENOUGH
TO GIVE YOU A RUNNIN' START.

OH, DAMN!

YOU GET OVER THERE
AND GET MY HORSE!

HELL, YOU'RE SO WEAK,
YOU CAN HARDLY STAND.

YOU WANNA SEE HOW WEAK I AM,
TRY FOR YOUR GUN.

[CHUCKLES] NO.

YOU'VE GOT JUST ENOUGH SAND
LEFT IN YOU TO KILL ME.

GET OVER THERE.

GO ON.
GET OVER THERE.

OOH!

AH!

ESTE SI QUE
ES UN HOMBRE.

OYE, COMO SE LLAMA
ESE PUEBLO, HOMBRE?

QUE PUEBLO?

ALGO COMO MILESTONE.

SI, MONTANA.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

YOU GONNA--

YOU GONNA KILL HIM?

KILL HIM?

KID, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT.

I MAY BE AN OUTLAW,

BUT I NEVER MURDERED
ANYBODY IN COLD BLOOD,

AND, LEAST OF ALL,
AN HOMBRE.

WHAT ARE WE
GONNA DO NOW?

ME AND PETE
ARE HEADIN' FOR MONTANA.

WHAT ABOUT ME, SMOKE?

YOU STAY HERE WITH HIM

UNTIL HE'S
WELL ENOUGH TO RIDE,

AND THEN YOU TAKE HIM
TO SEABORN TAY.

HE'S WORTH MORE
TO THIS COUNTRY

THAN THAT WHOLE OUTFIT.

IF YOU EVER GET TO BE
HALF THE HOMBRE HE IS,

YOU COME BACK
AND RIDE WITH ME,

IF YOU THINK YOU'RE STILL
CUT OUT FOR AN OUTLAW.

DAMN IT!

SON, WHY DO YOU
HAVE TO GO

TOMCATTIN' OFF
ACROSS THE COUNTRY?

YOU COULD BUILD YOURSELF
A NICE PLACE HERE,

AND, RIGHTLY,
A PIECE OF IT'S YOURS.

I'LL BE BACK
SOME SPRING,

FOLLERIN'
THE WILD GEESE.

SO LONG, MR. TAY.

ADIOS.

AH!

I'M A DAMN FOOL.

WHOA, BUCK.

COME HERE, BUCK.

DAMN IT!

BEER.

HEY, CONAGHER,

I'LL BUY THE DRINKS.

YOU BUY, I'LL DRINK.

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO,
CONAGHER?

YOU DRIFTING AGAIN?

I'VE GOT
TUMBLEWEED FEVER.

YOU, TOO?

[LAUGHS]

HALF THE COWBOYS
IN THE COUNTRY

ARE CHASIN'
TUMBLEWEEDS.

SOMEBODY FOUND A NOTE
ON ONE OF 'EM,

AND THAT
STARTED THE WHOLE THING.

NOTE?
WHAT KIND OF NOTE?

FROM SOME GIRL UP NORTH.

I GUESS
SHE'S FROM UP NORTH.

OH, SHE'S BEEN
WRITIN' NOTES

WITH POETRY
AND THINGS IN 'EM

AND TYING 'EM
TO TUMBLEWEEDS.

JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU

WHAT HAPPENS
IF YOU'RE ALONE TOO LONG.

HOW DO YOU KNOW
SHE'S ALONE?

WELL, THAT'S WHAT
THE NOTES LOOK LIKE.

COWBOYS OVER EAST OF HERE
ARE TAKING BETS

WHETHER OR NOT
SHE'S TALL

AND SKINNY,
OR SHORT AND FAT,

BLONDE OR BRUNETTE.

SHE'S PROBABLY
GOT A HUSBAND

WHO'S WIDER
BETWEEN THE SHOULDERS

THAN HE IS
BETWEEN THE EYES.

AW, HELL,

SHE'S PROBABLY GOTTEN MARRIED
AND HAD A COUPLE YOUNG-UNS

SINCE SHE WROTE THOSE NOTES.

HOW'S THAT
MRS. TEALE DOING?

HAD A HARD WINTER,
I GUESS.

I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HER
IN 2 OR 3 MONTHS.

OH, I SEE HER EVERY TIME

THE STAGECOACH
ROLLS PAST THERE.

THEY ALWAYS WAVE.

MIGHTY FINE WOMAN,
MR. CONAGHER.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO
RIDE OUT THERE,

PAY HER A VISIT.

WELL, I'M HEADIN' NORTH.

I WONDER WHATEVER
HAPPENED TO HER HUSBAND.

ANYTHING COULD HAVE
HAPPENED TO HIM.

HOW MANY MEN
DO YOU KNOW

THAT JUST RIDE OFF
AND DISAPPEAR?

THANKS, McCLOUD.

HOWDY, MRS. TEALE.

MR. CONAGHER.

I WAS JUST PASSIN' THROUGH.
I THOUGHT I'D STOP BY

AND SEE HOW YOU FOLKS
MADE IT THROUGH THE WINTER.

WE'VE BEEN FINE.

I WAS JUST PICKING
SOME GREENS.

WILL YOU STAY
FOR SUPPER?

YES, MA'AM, IF YOU'LL
LET ME CONTRIBUTE.

I'VE GOT SOME THINGS IN
MY BAG HERE YOU MIGHT USE.

THAT'S VERY GENEROUS.
I ACCEPT.

THANK YOU.

WE--

LABAN WAS ASKING
ABOUT YOU THE OTHER DAY.

MR. CONAGHER!

HOW ARE YOU
DOING, SON?

JUST FINE,
SIR.

HELLO,
GIRL.

RUTHIE...

COME HELP ME
WASH THESE.

THIS IS
FOR YOUR MA.

YES, SIR.

I SURE AM GLAD
YOU CAME BACK.

UH...

[DOOR OPENING]

I'M SORRY, MA'AM.

I HAVEN'T GOT
A CLEAN SHIRT.

THAT'S QUITE ALRIGHT,
MR. CONAGHER.

PLEASE SIT DOWN.

THANK YOU,
MA'AM.

THAT WAS A FINE MEAL,
MRS. TEALE.

THANK YOU.

GOODNIGHT,
MR. CONAGHER.

GOODNIGHT,
MA'AM.

AH! HEH HEH!

HA HA!

THANKS, GIRL.

YOU'VE GOT A NICE PLACE
HERE, MRS. TEALE.

I LIKE TO HEAR
THE WIND IN THE GRASS.

MRS. TEALE...

[CHICKENS CLUCKING]

I FIGURED
YOU'D PULLED YOUR FREIGHT.

I HEARD YOU QUIT
ON THE OLD MAN.

LOT OF GOOD IT DID YOU,

RISKING YOUR NECK
FOR TAY'S OUTFIT.

A COUPLE GOOD MEN
ARE DEAD 'CAUSE OF IT.

NOT BECAUSE
OF ANYTHING I DID.

I WAS JUST DOIN' MY JOB.

AND YOU WEREN'T THINKIN'
I WAS DOIN' MINE.

YOU QUIT THE OLD MAN
WHEN HE NEEDED YOU MOST

AND TOOK UP
WITH THE FIVE.

THAT'S A DAMN LIE.

WE BOTH KNOW
I'M NOT LYIN'.

I NEVER DID LIKE YOU,
CONAGHER.

NO, I NEVER DID.

I'M SORRY, MA'AM.

I'M SURE HE CAME
HERE TO SEE YOU.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

YOU WERE ABOUT
TO SAY SOMETHING.

MA'AM?

JUST BEFORE
MR. MAHLER RODE UP,

YOU STARTED
TO SAY SOMETHING.

OH...

I DON'T RECALL.

MRS. TEALE,

I RECKON
I BETTER DRIFT.

I KNOW THAT YOU
HAVE THINGS TO DO.

YOU'VE HELPED US.

WE WERE HAVING
A BAD TIME, YOU KNOW.

WELL, MA'AM...

YES?

I, UH,

I'LL BE COMING BACK
THIS WAY SOMEDAY.

MAYBE YOU OUGHT
TO TAKE THIS

SO YOU'LL HAVE SOMETHING
FOR ME TO EAT WHEN I DO.

I DON'T WANT TO
PAY YOU, MA'AM,

BUT I WANT TO FEEL FREE
TO COME BACK.

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO LEAVE MONEY.

YOU CAN COME
ANYTIME.

WE HOPE YOU WILL.

WE DON'T
HAVE MUCH COMPANY

NOW THAT THE STAGE

DOESN'T STOP HERE
ANYMORE.

IT'S VERY LONELY.

YES, MA'AM.

IT SURE...

MUST BE.

GOOD-BYE, MRS. TEALE.

GOOD-BYE, MR. CONAGHER.

[SIGH]

OH, I'M AS DUMB AS A POST.

[GRUNTING]

HEY, CONAGHER,

I HEARD YOU STOPPED
AT OL' MRS. TEALE'S.

I THOUGHT YOU TWO
WAS GONNA GET TOGETHER.

WHAT HAVE I GOT
TO OFFER THAT WOMAN?

DON'T ASK ME.
LET HER TELL YOU.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

YOU'RE JUST A NO-ACCOUNT
SALOON BRAWLER

THAT'S RATHER FIGHT
THAN EAT.

THAT'S IT.

[CHUCKLES]

HEY, WHERE
ARE YOU GOIN'?

I'M GONNA GO GET DRUNK.

IF I WAKE UP,
I'M HEADIN' NORTH.

HEY, SAM, WATCH 'EM.

I'M GONNA GO
GET A DRINK MYSELF.

OH!

A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY.

HEARD YOU WERE IN TOWN...

SO I CAME OVER HERE
TO SEE WHAT AN HONEST MAN DOES

WHEN HE'S AWAY FROM HOME.

MAHLER, I'M MINDIN'
MY OWN BUSINESS.

YOU'VE GOT IT
STUCK IN YOUR CRAW

BECAUSE YOU RODE OUT
AND I DIDN'T.

THAT WAS YOUR BUSINESS,

SO LET IT LIE.

SUPPOSE I DON'T
WANT TO?

EVERYWHERE I GO,

I HEAR WHAT A TOUGH MAN
CONN CONAGHER IS.

I AIN'T SEEN NONE
OF YOUR GRAVEYARDS.

DAMN YOU, CONN!
LISTEN TO ME!

MAKE SENSE,
AND I'LL LISTEN.

SIT DOWN.
I'LL BUY YOU A DRINK.

ALRIGHT,
YOU DON'T WANT A DRINK,

PULL UP A CHAIR,
AND I'LL ORDER SOME GRUB.

WE CAN JUST SIT HERE
AND TALK.

I AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE.

THAT MAN YOU SHOT
IN THE HILLS BACK OF TEALE'S

WAS SHORTY SPARKS--

MY SADDLE PARTNER.

THAT MAN WAS
A DAMN RUSTLER,

AND HE TRIED TO
SHOOT ME IN THE BACK.

YOU WANT A BEATIN'?

YOU'LL GET IT.

NO MAN ALIVE

HAS EVER BEAT ME
WITH HIS FISTS.

MR. CONAGHER?

MR. CONAGHER,

I THINK YOU SHOULD
COME HOME NOW.

HOME?

MR. McCLOUD,
HELP ME.

I'M AFRAID
HE'S HURT.

HIM? HURT?
NO...[CHUCKLES]

YOU COULDN'T HURT HIM
WITH AN AX--

TOO MUCH
MULE IN HIM.

WHY DID YOU
COME HERE?

WE NEED YOU.

WE ALL
FELT LOST.

I DON'T
KNOW WHAT.

I KNOW WHAT.

WE CAN MAKE A START.

YOU--YOU WROTE THESE NOTES,
DIDN'T YA?

I REMEMBER,
OUT THERE THAT NIGHT,

YOU SAID SOMETHING
ABOUT THE...

THE WIND ON THE GRASS.

I WAS LONELY.

I HAD TO TALK...

TO WRITE
TO SOMEONE...

AND THERE WAS NO ONE.

THERE WAS, EVIE.

THERE WAS ME.
