[GUN FIRES] [GALLOPING HORSE APPROACHES]

I COULDN'T FIND ANY GOOD WOOD BY THE SOUTH RIDGE, PA, SO I

CHECKED OVER BY THE SALT LAKE AN' THERE'S A TON OF IT OVER

THERE.

GOOD, BUT WE STILL HAVE A MORNING'S WORK LEFT HERE.

WE'LL MOVE OVER THIS AFTERNOON.

WOULD YOU LIKE A DRINK OF WATER?

OH, THANKS.

I'M...SORRY, PA, I FORGOT TO FILL IT UP.

WELL, GET TO IT, HUH?

ALRIGHT.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

JUST HOLD IT THERE.

DROP THE CANTEEN.

[SOUND OF CANTEEN FALLING] NOW, HANDS UP. EASY.

YOU LUCAS MCCAIN'S KID?

WHERE'S YOUR PA?

UH, HE'S-- DON'T CROSS ME, KID.

I SAID WHERE'S YOUR PA?

[HESITANTLY] HE--HE'S IN TOWN AT THE HOTEL. WHO ARE YOU?

YOU'LL FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH.

WH--WHAT DO YOU WANT MY PA FOR?

FOR MURDER.

PA, THERE'S SOMEONE AT THE HOUSE, HE PULLED A GUN ON ME.

PULLED A GUN?

HE'S NO OLDER THAN I AM, HE'S JUST A BOY.

BUT HE WANTS YOU FOR MURDER.

MURDER? A BOY YOUR AGE?

THAT'S RIGHT, I--I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL 'IM, SO I SAID

THAT YOU WERE IN TOWN AT THE HOTEL. BUT PA, HE'S PACKIN' HIS

OWN GUN. WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

I WISH I KNEW, MARK.

I WISH I KNEW.

YES?

YOU THE MANAGER?

I AM.

I WAS TOLD I COULD FIND LUCAS MCCAIN HERE.

LUCAS? OH, WELL, I'M PRETTY SURE HE WON'T BE IN TOWN TODAY.

HOWEVER, HIS RANCH IS ONLY 5 MILES--

YEAH, I KNOW HIS RANCH. DO YOU KNOW WHEN HE'LL BE BACK IN?

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT I FIND HIM.

NO...BUT YOU LOOK LIKE YOU NEED A REST AN' A MEAL. IT ALSO

LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU COULD USE A BATH.

LADY, I'VE GOT 1,000 MILES OF HONEST SWEAT AN' DIRT.

THEY DON'T SMELL BAD TO ME.

WELL, WOULD YOU LIKE A ROOM?

IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY NOW, I'LL TRUST YOU FOR IT.

I NEVER LET A DEBT GO WITHOUT PAYIN' OFF. YOU'LL GET YOUR

MONEY.

1,000 MILES...OKLAHOMA TERRITORY?

YOU KNOW, MY SISTER HAD A BOY VERY MUCH LIKE YOU. GOOD

LOOKIN', LIKED TO ROAM. GUESS I WAS CLOSER TO HIM THAN HIS OWN

PARENTS. MAYBE 'CAUSE I WAS SUCH A FOOTLOOSE WANDERER MYSELF. BUT

YOU KNOW ONE DAY HE UP AN' LEFT AN' WE NEVER HEARD FROM HIM

AGAIN.

I'D BE WILLIN' TO BET YOU HAVEN'T WRITTEN YOUR FOLKS

SINCE YOU LEFT THE TERRITORY, HAVE YOU?

MY FOLKS ARE DEAD.

OH, I'M SORRY. ILLNESS?

MY MA DIED SICK BUT MY PA WASN'T SICK A DAY.

KILLED?

NOW, WHAT ABOUT THAT GRUB?

FIRST THE BATH, THEN THE GRUB.

LOOK LADY, I DON'T LIKE TO BE TREATED LIKE A KID. NOW, YOU

TREAT ME LIKE A GROWN-UP AN' WE'LL GET ALONG JUST FINE.

HERE'S A TOWEL AN' SOME SOAP.

DON'T FORGET TO WASH BEHIND YOUR EARS. AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE

ANOTHER SHIRT, WASH THAT ONE AN' HANG IT ON THE RACK. ROOM 3.

IT'S THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT A SHAVING MUG.

LOU?

HELLO, LUCAS.

SOMEONE LOOKIN' FOR ME?

YES, A YOUNG MAN. WELL, REALLY A BOY. HE CAME ALL THE

WAY FROM THE OKLAHOMA TERRITORY.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

IT'S HERE ON THE REGISTER, HE'S UP IN HIS ROOM NOW.

[MUTTERS] GRIDLEY MALL JUNIOR.

WHAT DOES HE WANNA SEE YOU ABOUT?

WELL, IT SEEMS HE WANTS TO KILL ME.

WHAT?

GRIDLEY MALL...MALL...OH, YES. I SHOT A BANK ROBBER BY

THAT NAME SOME YEARS AGO IN OKLAHOMA TERRITORY.

WHAT'S THE BOY LIKE?

JUST THAT, A BOY. THOUGH HE ACTS TWICE HIS AGE AN' PRETENDS

TO BE MEAN AN' TOUGH.

PRETENDS?

IT'S THE WAY HE STRUCK ME.

LET'S SEE. ROOM 3.

I'LL GO SEE FOR MYSELF.

THE ROOM'S FINE. I WANNA GO OUT AN' WATER MY HORSE.

GRIDLEY MALL JUNIOR?

YOU PULLED A GUN ON MY SON.

I DON'T LIKE THAT, BOY.

WELL NOW, YOU MUST BE LUCAS MCCAIN. I'VE COME TO EVEN UP THE

SCORE FOR MY PA. SO LET'S GET OUTSIDE AN' GET IT OVER WITH.

YOU GOT A BIG ADVANTAGE IN BEING YOUNG, SON, DON'T PRESS

IT.

I AIN'T PRESSIN' IT, MR. MCCAIN, AN' DON'T YOU CONSIDER

IT NEITHER. YOU COMIN' OUT?

YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE ITCHY, AREN'T YOU?

DON'T STALL ME.

I'VE COME A LONG WAY FOR THIS.

LOOK, BOY, THERE'S SOMETHIN' YOU OUGHTA KNOW ABOUT YOUR

FATHER.

I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT MY FATHER!

WELL, YOU'RE GONNA LISTEN ANYWAY.

I DIDN'T COME THIS FAR TO TALK.

YOU DON'T LEAVE A MAN MUCH CHOICE, DO YOU, SON?

AFTER YOU?

DON'T YOU WANNA KNOW WHY I HAPPENED TO SHOOT YOUR FATHER?

I DON'T WANNA KNOW NOTHIN' FROM YOU, MCCAIN!

JUST MAKE YOUR MOVE.

LUCAS! WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE?

MICAH, I'LL TELL YOU LATER.

HAVE YOU GOT ANY MATCHES?

WHAT?

SOME MORE MATCHES.

YES...HERE.

I'M WAITIN', MCCAIN!

MICAH?

YOU WILLIN' TO TALK NOW?

I'LL BE RELOADED IN A JIFFY.

ARE YOU READY NOW, MCCAIN?

NO.

YOU KILLED MY PA AN' YOU WON'T FIGHT ME.

I'VE COME 1,000 MILES TO GET YOU.

GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM, SON.

DO WHAT HE SAYS, BOY.

YOU'RE SCARED OF SOMEONE WHO CAN STAND UP TO YOUR RIFLE,

YOU LOUSY COWARD!

I'M GONNA GET ME SOME COFFEE.

YOU THINK YOU'VE SEEN THE LAST OF ME, DON'T YOU, MCCAIN?!

WELL, YOU'LL SEE, I'M GONNA MAKE YOU FIGHT!

GET ON YOUR HORSE AN' RIDE OUTTA HERE.

GET ON YOUR HORSE AN' RIDE OUTTA HERE.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE END OF THAT BOY, LUCAS.

YEAH, AN' I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

WELL, IF HE COMES BACK, I'LL COME UP WITH AN EXCUSE TO LOCK

'IM UP TILL HE COOLS OFF.

I WONDER IF THAT WOULD COOL HIM OFF.

WOULD YOU LIKE A WOMAN'S OPINION?

WHAT?

WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER THE BOY'S BRINGING UP

AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES HIM BEHAVE THE WAY HE DOES.

HE SAID HE COULD MAKE ME FIGHT. MARK.

HE SAID HE COULD MAKE ME FIGHT. MARK.

[GALLOPING HORSE APPROACHES] WELL, I THOUGHT YOU WERE

IN TOWN.

NOW, DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE SCARED TOO?

I DON'T EXPECT SO.

I SLAPPED YOUR PA'S FACE TODAY, BOY, AN' IN FRONT OF

PEOPLE TOO. BUT HE WOULDN'T SHOOT IT OUT. HE'S LILY-LIVERED

BOY, JUST PLAIN LILY-LIVERED.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKIN'--

PICK IT UP!

WHAT FOR?

I CAN GET EVEN WITH ONE MCCAIN JUST AS GOOD AS ANOTHER.

PICK IT UP.

WHERE'S MY PA?

DRINKIN' COFFEE TO SETTLE HIS NERVES.

PICK IT UP OR I'LL KILL YA.

PICK IT UP!

I'M NOT ALLOWED TO USE A HANDGUN.

WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME, BOY.

NOW, WHEN I SAY TURN AROUND, YOU TURN AROUND. I'LL COUNT TO 10

AN' THEN YOU TAKE A STEP EACH TIME. AN' THEN TURN AN' SHOOT.

NOW, TURN AROUND.

I'M NOT GONNA HAVE A...GUN FIGHT WITH YOU OR ANYONE ELSE.

JUST LIKE YOUR PA, AIN'T YOU, BOY? NOW, WHEN HE GETS HERE,

I WANT YOU TO TELL 'IM WHAT HAPPENED. I'LL BE WAITIN' FOR

'IM INSIDE.

WHERE IS HE?

INSIDE. HE TRIED TO MAKE ME HAVE A SHOOT-OUT WITH HIM.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, PA?

Lucas: MALL?!

MALL, YOU HEAR ME?

YEAH, I HEAR YOU.

Lucas: ALRIGHT, I'M WAITIN' FOR YOU OUTSIDE.

THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

I'M COMIN' OUT, MCCAIN!

ALRIGHT, MARK, GET SOME ROPE.

WHAT A LOUSY THING-- COOL DOWN NOW,

JUST COOL DOWN, MALL.

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

ALRIGHT, GET DOWN.

HE STARTED UP AGAIN AT THE RANCH.

WHAT HAPPENED?

HE TRIED TO FORCE MARK INTO A SHOOT-OUT.

A SHOOT-OUT WITH MARK?

THAT'S RIGHT.

SIT DOWN OVER THERE, BOY.

I WASN'T GONNA SHOOT 'IM.

I JUST WANTED TO FORCE HIS PA'S HAND.

I WANT 'IM IN JAIL, MICAH.

I'LL SWEAR OUT A COMPLAINT RIGHT NOW.

FOR WHAT, DISTURBIN' THE PEACE? I'LL BE OUT O' HERE IN 2

DAYS, MCCAIN, AN' I'LL COME FOR YOU AGAIN.

SETTLE DOWN, BOY. SOUNDS LIKE MORE THAN DISTURBIN' THE PEACE

TO ME.

I TOLD THE TRUTH.

I WASN'T GONNA SHOOT 'IM.

I COULD WRITE TO WASHINGTON, THEY'VE GOT A CORRECTIVE

INSTITUTION FOR BOYS THERE.

I'D HAVE TO APPLY FOR A COMMITMENT, IT MIGHT TAKE ME 3

OR 4 MONTHS.

I DON'T LIE. BOTH THE GUNS WERE EMPTY. YOU GOTTA BELIEVE

ME, I WOULDN'T SHOOT A KID.

ALL THIS TROUBLE YOU'RE CAUSIN'.

YOU THINK I SHOT YOUR PA PURPOSELY, DON'T YOU?

I WAS 8 WHEN THEY BROUGHT MY FATHER HOME. IT TOOK ME MORE

THAN A HALF A DAY TO DIG THE GRAVE. AN' WHEN I GOT DONE THE

ONLY THING I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM BAWLIN' WAS ALL THE TIME

TAKE HIS GUN AN' LEARN HOW TO USE IT. FOR A YEAR I HAD TO USE

TWO HANDS AN' THEN ANOTHER YEAR UNTIL MY THUMB GOT BIG ENOUGH TO

COCK IT. I PRACTICED NIGHT AN' DAY, MCCAIN, FOR 3 YEARS MORE.

NOW I CAN SHOOT, NOW I CAN EVEN SHOOT IN THE DARK. AN' I MEAN TO

PAY YOU BACK FOR WHAT YOU DID.

DID YOU KNOW YOUR PA WAS IN THE ACT OF ROBBIN' A BANK?

YEAH, I KNOW HE WAS ROBBIN' A BANK!

HE WAS RUNNIN' WITH THE MONEY. I JUST HAPPENED BY

BETWEEN HIM AN' HIS HORSE. HE TOOK A SHOT AT ME, AN' HE WOULD

HAVE SHOT AGAIN, THERE WAS NOTHIN' I COULD DO.

IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. WHEN HE WAS ALIVE HE WAS GOOD TO ME.

MAYBE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, MCCAIN, BUT HE WAS MY PA.

I UNDERSTAND. IF I DON'T SWEAR OUT THE CHARGES, WILL YOU

PROMISE TO GO BACK HOME AN' FORGET ABOUT THIS REVENGE?

NO.

ALRIGHT, MICAH, I'LL SWEAR OUT THE COMPLAINT NOW.

YOU HEARD THE MAN, BOY.

COME ON, GET UP.

YOU KEEP ME IN JAIL, MCCAIN!

YOU GO AHEAD AN' SEND ME TO WASHINGTON. BUT I'LL COME BACK

AN' I'LL KILL YOU.

COOL DOWN, BOY, COOL DOWN.

MICAH, I--I'VE BEEN THINKIN'.

DON'T YOU THINK A LITTLE KINDNESS AN' SOME FOOD MIGHT

HELP?

NOW, LOU, LET'S NOT GET ALL TANGLED UP IN YOUR APRON

STRINGS.

MUST YOU PRESS THE CHARGES?

FOR THE LIFE OF ME, LOU, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

LET ME HAVE A WORD WITH HIM.

YOU'LL BE WASTIN' YOUR TIME.

I DON'T MIND.

ALRIGHT.

I, UH, I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU MUST HAVE FELT LOSING YOUR

FATHER.

WAS YOUR MOTHER ALIVE DURING THIS TIME?

WHAT'S THE MATTER? DIDN'T YOU LIKE HER?

I'VE FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT HER.

WHY?

I WAS 3 WHEN SHE DIED.

THEN YOU NEVER REALLY HAD A MOTHER.

MY PA RAISED ME ALRIGHT.

MY GUESS IS, HE LET YOU DO WHATEVER YOU WANTED. AND YOU'VE

BEEN DOIN' IT EVER SINCE.

I LEARNED FAST. I LEARNED FAST HOW TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

OH, I BET YOU WERE ONE OF THOSE UNUSUAL CHILDREN, WHO

LEARNS HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF ALL ALONE, NO HELP

WHATSOEVER.

THAT'S RIGHT, LADY. NOW, WILL YOU GET OUT OF HERE?

NEVER TOLD HIM WHAT TIME TO GO TO BED, NEVER TOLD WHAT

TO WEAR, WHAT TO EAT, WHAT TO LEARN.

I SAID GET OUT OF HERE. NOW, WILL YOU LEAVE ME BE?

DO YOU LIKE IT HERE IN JAIL, GRID?

[SARCASTICALLY] OH, SURE, IT'S JUST DANDY!

SUPPOSE-- SUPPOSE I ASK THE MARSHAL TO PUT YOU IN MY

CUSTODY. WOULD YOU BEHAVE?

DOES THAT MEAN FORGET ABOUT MCCAIN?

FOR ONE WEEK.

FORGET IT.

ONE WEEK ISN'T SO LONG, NOW, IS IT, GRID?

THEN WHAT?

WE'LL SEE, WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT AT THAT TIME.

UH, THAT'S--THAT'S ALL?

BUT FOR THAT WEEK YOU PUT YOURSELF IN MY HANDS.

WILL YOU BEHAVE?

WITH YOU I COULD ACT RIGHT NICE AN' PROPER.

WILL YOU BEHAVE?

YES, MA'AM.

I'LL ASK THE MARSHAL.

I'LL WAIT RIGHT HERE.

MICAH, I WANT YOU TO RELEASE HIM.

RELEASE 'IM?

IN MY CUSTODY. I'LL BE RESPONSIBLE.

NOW, LOU, LET'S BE SENSIBLE ABOUT THIS--

HE'S A DIFFERENT BOY WITH ME.

PLEASE, LUCAS, BELIEVE ME, I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE HIM. WELL, GO

TALK TO HIM YOURSELVES.

MISS MALLORY WANTS ME TO RELEASE YOU INTO HER CUSTODY.

I'LL BEHAVE MYSELF REAL GOOD WITH HER, I PROMISE.

I WOULDN'T BE ASKIN' FOR THIS, IF I WASN'T SURE OF WHAT

I'M DOIN'.

IT'S YOUR DECISION, MICAH.

WELL, SINCE LUCAS ISN'T OBJECTIN'. COME ON.

THANK YOU, SIR.

COME ALONG, GRID, I'LL GET YOU SOME DINNER.

YES, MA'AM.

YOU KNOW, LUCAS, MAYBE THAT'S WHAT HE NEEDS. A WOMAN'S TOUCH.

WELL, MAYBE SO.

IT'S A LITTLE EARLY FOR DINNER, GRID, BUT SIT DOWN AN'

ORDER ANYTHING YOU LIKE.

YOU MEAN I CAN ORDER ANYTHIN'?

THIS IS A RESTAURANT.

LET'S SEE. WELL, FIRST I'LL HAVE A BIG BOWL OF BEAN SOUP.

A LARGE BOWL OF BEAN SOUP.

AN' THEN A--A STEAK. A-- HOW DO YOU WANT IT COOKED?

RARE, REAL RARE. AND THEN A--A BIG BOWL OF MASHED

POTATOES.

AND FOR DESSERT?

A BIG BOWL OF PEAS.

FOR DESSERT?

OH, UH, NO, UH, NO, UH, APPLE PIE, A DOUBLE ORDER, WITH

CHEESE.

[CLEARS THROAT] AN'--AN' COFFEE.

I SAID COFFEE. I WANT IT BLACK.

ALRIGHT. IT'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU, AS SOON YOU'VE FINISHED

TAKING YOUR BATH.

BATH?

MM-HM.

I DON'T NEED A BATH.

I WANT YOU TO TAKE A BATH.

I SAID I DIDN'T NEED A BATH!

GRID, I'M ORDERING YOU TO GO UP AND TAKE A BATH.

NOW, I AIN'T DOIN' NOTHIN' WRONG, SO JUST DON'T BE GIVIN'

ME ORDERS.

I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THE ORDERS I WANT TO, AN' YOU'LL BE TAKIN'

'EM.

YOU'RE WASTIN' YOUR BREATH.

LOOK, LADY, I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO HIT YOU, SO I THINK I'D

BETTER GO BACK IN THE JAIL.

LISTEN TO ME, YOUNG MAN, YOU MADE A DEAL AN' YOU'RE GONNA

STICK WITH IT. NOW GET UPSTAIRS AN' TAKE THAT BATH!

I DIDN'T MAKE NO DEAL TO BE PUSHED AROUND.

DISCIPLINE IS WHAT YOU'VE MISSED AND DISCIPLINE IS WHAT

YOU'RE GONNA GET!

LADY, I'M GETTIN' OUT OF HERE, MOVE.

AN' TAKE YOUR HAT OFF WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO A LADY.

I SAID MOVE!

THIS IS WHAT YOUR MOTHER COULDN'T GIVE YOU AND THIS IS

WHAT YOU NEED, THIS AN' THAT AN' MORE!

OH, WE WERE JUST HAVING A LITTLE TALK, WEREN'T WE, GRID?

YES, MA'AM. UM...WELL, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I'VE GOTTA GO

UPSTAIRS NOW.

WHAT FOR?

TO TAKE A BATH.

YOU MAY BE EXCUSED, GRIDLEY.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

HA, WELL, MISS LOU, DINNER LIKE USUAL. VERY GOOD.

I'M GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT.

SAY, GRID, YOU THOUGHT ANY MORE ABOUT MY OFFER TO BECOME

AN APPRENTICE TO ME?

WELL, I WASN'T THINKIN' ABOUT IT WHEN I CAME OUT HERE.

WELL, YOU'D BE LEARNIN' A TRADE, SOMETHING YOU COULD

ALWAYS FALL BACK ON.

ALRIGHT, I'LL TRY IT, MR. SWENSON.

GOOD, 6:00 IN THE MORNIN'.

HE'LL BE THERE.

NIGHT, EVERYBODY.

Lucas: NIGHT, NILS.

Lou: GOOD NIGHT, NILS.

YOU'VE ALL BEEN SO GOOD TO ME, I'D--I'D LIKE TO DO

SOMETHIN' FOR YOU IN RETURN. I GOT THESE FOR MYSELF BUT I--I'LL

SHARE 'EM WITH YA.

MUCH OBLIGED SON, BUT...

AREN'T YOU A LITTLE YOUNG FOR A CIGAR?

YES, SIR.

GRID, DON'T--DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE LAYIN' IT ON A LITTLE BIT

THICK?

YOU THINK SO?

[EXPLOSIONS] [MARK AND GRIDLEY LAUGH]

GOOD CIGAR, LUCAS. A LITTLE NOISY BUT A PRETTY GOOD SMOKE.
