I'm going to get too clean or a good truck.

Bessie!

I want to thank you for that.

You'll figure you got yourself a bargain there.

I only paid $2.25 for her.

I still wish you'd hold off on this hot till I could go along.

Chief Tallfarre is a fine man, but he doesn't cotton much to strangers.

I'm not sure if you're going to get a little bit of money.

I'm not sure if you're going to get a little bit of money.

Joseph Tallfarre is a fine man, but he doesn't cotton much to strangers.

Paul's the only wifeman that jerks Tallfarre has gotten used for.

isn't that so, Paul.

He says Paul's more of a chill of coffee than anything else.

I hope you don't think I'm toting that cal Volkswagen tour in Yvonne Beads up there to go fishing with.

I'd like to wait for you to make a trip down, but I gotta meet in the Curdandilly Hugh Brown and I don't want to keep him waiting.

Besides, uh, your blood brother, Tolerate Billy, you and me,

we bring some presents and stay away from this village.

Josh, how do you aim to get that old stubborn critter started up?

It is.

Be it man or beast.

I don't care how high-bound pig-headed obstinate they are.

They all got a weakness.

And I know besties.

What's that?

She loves to hear me say.

Hone bessie, here we go.

We're off to Turkey River.

It's a long, long way.

Come on, Bess.

We're both going to get our feet a little wet.

Oh, you just deep banked, Bessie.

I hope I can make it.

Come on, Bessie.

Come on.

You know, I've been accused of being stubborn and lacking

in judgment a lot of times.

But the most lacking in judgment I ever was was the day I spent

$2.25 a mile harder than money for you.

Now don't torture me anymore, my throat's wrong.

Listen, you don't want to keep Billy Hugh waiting any longer, do we?

I'm two days late already.

Now Bessie, Bessie.

All right.

All right.

You flop-beard mangey, no good critter you.

Oh, Bessie, come on.

We're gone.

Now I'm through coddling and coddling you along.

Now I've got to get up there and you're going to pick up them feet and move.

All right.

Now Bessie, I ain't never laid hand to you.

But so help me if you don't move, I'm

going to lay the butt of this rifle right across your hindparts.

Now Bessie, I don't like doing this.

But you ain't going and I'm going to.

Now look what you got.

That's a mess of armids up for any Bessie.

Ain't no little old dead chipmunk going to bring out a flock of buzzards like that.

No tall fire keeps these hunting grounds clean.

Like a buzzard's like that kind of makes me tend to be a little bit uneasy.

With an eye like an eagle and his toe, let's go.

And I'm going to do it.

And I'm going to do it.

And I'm going to do it.

And I'm going to do it.

And I'm going to do it.

And I'm going to do it.

With an eye like an eagle and his toe, let's go mountain was he.

Ain't no little was a man, just a big man.

He was brave, he was fearless, and he's not as a mighty oak tree.

Tarnacoon skin cat on the top of old ant to the heel of his raw hash shoe.

The rippiness roar and a spiteness man.

The bun tear ever knew.

Ain't no little was a man, just a big man.

And he fought for America to make all Americans be.

Ain't no little.

Get out of here.

I'm going to do it.

You're the name of God.

Don't you think you're to sit down, man?

I'm fine.

Really all right.

No.

Oh, I'm sorry and that ashamed of crying so.

Why, if you hadn't been bawling, I wouldn't have heard you.

I probably wouldn't have found you.

It was by the grace of God.

Pray and so for help, and the weapon was his answer.

You forgive me if I, I seem a little bit bum puzzled, but where did you come from?

And what went on up there?

The Chillicotheists came and killed them.

Oh, killed who?

Father Candelon, Sister Bridget, Mr. Proud.

Mr. Bellague Brown.

You knew him then.

He was near by waiting for a friend.

I was at friend.

They're in the chapel.

What's left of it?

And them.

Always late.

When it behooves me to be on time, it'd be alive and out there hunting there.

Let's claim to see cousin Billy.

He said his peace for them warriors got to him.

He was your cousin then.

No, not exactly.

We grew up together and started pretending these cousins.

He was a very brave man and good.

He did his best to say father Candelon and poor sister Bridget.

We didn't keep any firearms about him.

What were you, what were you people doing up here anyhow?

We were building a missionary school.

A school?

Yes.

Well up here?

Who did you think was going to come?

There's nothing up here but that small tribe of chilacopies.

Well, we had hopes that in time they would come.

You had some pretty high hopes.

Might as well hope to fly out of the moon.

We had every reason to think they'd come all day.

They never hung with the cord.

Never paid us any mind at all.

Well, they'd probably biding their time waiting for you to get all the buildings finished.

So it'd make a big blaze.

That's how tall fire got his name.

No, I'm afraid it's what happened this morning.

Father Candelon said it might bring trouble.

Poor sister Bridget.

She never did anything but what she meant it for the good.

She came across a young Indian boy at the river.

He had war paint on his face.

She washed it off.

She might as well have killed that boy.

So there we are thinking that's ever been as bad as burning your church and maybe worse.

I know. That's why we came here. We wanted to teach them.

Teach them. Teach them what?

In Charleston City, I've seen women with more paint on their face.

God forgive us.

I'm just blabbering. I don't know what I'm doing.

Don't know what I'm saying. You forgive me.

Oh, it's losing your friend.

I vow I give my life for his. I don't know why I was saved.

You knew what he's doing. Nobody helped. I'd even dragged him up here.

You got any idea how long they've been gone?

Well, must be two hours.

You see, I was in the spring house when it happened.

I didn't know anything was wrong until I heard Mr. Brown's rifle.

By the time I got here, the Chilacothes were running off and everything was in a blaze.

Shh.

I knew it. I knew it.

They're coming back.

Coming back?

In the name of all for what?

They've murdered us and burned us out.

They're dead. They're coming to carry off their dead.

What about ours? We can't just leave them without a decent burial.

Stop time.

A prayer, at least.

You better make it the shortest prayer you've got.

Now we ain't got time to get to the prayer.

Now we ain't got time to get to the trail.

Besides, as soon as they find out you, we dead along.

We're the match of first place they're gonna look in here.

There's a box-dend canyon up there.

Upriver is a falls-down, rivers-old-tall-fire's camp,

and that trail's the only way out of here,

and they know it's just as good as I do.

Then go.

Wouldn't it be prudent to get out of sight before they arrive?

Oh, indeed.

Indeed, prudent.

If we had a place to hide...

We can go back to the park.

We can go back to the park.

We can go back to the spring house where you found me.

They're gonna smoke us out of there just in a minute.

They don't know it's there.

They've never known.

Father Kendall had made it so they wouldn't know.

I don't like it.

But we ain't got much other choice you goin'.

I'll be with you in a minute.

I'll be some good and good.

Don't mind.

Oh, no.

It's all right.

Did you ever see it all far?

Only once.

He was fearful.

Yeah, proud and strong, King of this mountain.

And he was standing practically on your doorstep.

I was wondering, sister, can you pray so nobody

could be able to get Lord of Herod?

Oh, glory be.

Never thought I'd see the day that Indian drum

does sound like sweet music.

Proud of me.

They called off the hunt for the time being in here.

Oh, no.

You keep that around.

You're the blood frozen in your veins.

What do I call you?

All this time, and I don't know your name.

Josh Glemens.

I'm sister Cecilia, Mr. Glemens.

Well, now, Josh will do fine, but Mr. Glemens

ain't never going to.

Now, you walk around straight up a little bit.

How you going back to the village?

Best night go up, dad, though.

Over the tall forest known for a set misnare.

You hold out a little while longer.

Why do whatever you say.

Don't go wasting none of that faith on me.

I'm wrong 100% more, and I'm right.

Boom, told me.

Why didn't I listen to that?

You know, I expect she's pretty smart and built

in someplace like this to hide.

But it sure been a lot drier and a lot warm

if you hadn't dug it so close to the river.

Boy, it wasn't for hiding.

It was for hanging the meat when we had it.

But mainly for storing Father Kendall and his wine.

Welcome.

Wine.

What?

Land of the living.

He didn't hide it to begrudge the Indians,

but because it came all the way from Charleston.

Understand, Father Kendall was not a drinking man.

He needed wine for saying the mass.

He had just sent me down to fetch a cup of that one.

Or that wouldn't be wine.

No one needed wouldn't.

We used it only in the case of sickness.

Chills and such.

That's medicine.

Well, now, sister, you just set right down there.

Because I think we've been chilled just enough to use

a little medicine.

Go on.

You're warm enough.

Oh.

Thank you.

Why are you staring so, Josh?

A mile that strange to you.

Well, what makes you think?

I get out of these hills once in a while.

You ain't the first.

None.

That's right.

Did I ever see?

I saw two or three in Charlton City.

Things got me puzzled about Tuesday when you talk.

You talked just exactly like Becky Boone's father.

He came to see us in Boone's borough from all the way

from Ireland.

Did he know?

What you happen to know did he come from Cork?

Cork.

Is that a place?

Oh, I did it his.

21 who lives there, it's all of Ireland.

You're a long way from home, aren't you?

Not really.

I carry it with me in my heart.

Oh, here you'll be wanting this now.

No, you keep it.

I'm fine.

That whiskey melted the blood in my veins nicely.

Bessie.

I forgot Bessie.

Bessie?

Where?

Well, it's nothing to get all stirred up about.

Bessie ain't nobody.

Bessie's a critter, a, a, a mew.

I left her down below.

They probably found her while they's looking for you.

It's nothing to worry about.

She ain't going nowhere unless they can sing.

But practically everything I got is on that critter's back.

And then again, they might have taken us supplies and left her.

My arrival ain't going to do them much good.

That's busted.

But they probably got Billy Hughes.

And I got a heap of powder and shot in them saddlebags.

I can't hear the drums now.

I'm going to go up and look around.

You wait here and be quiet.

I don't know what's best to do.

Try to take you with me or leave you here and go get down and try to bring you out.

Oh, don't leave me here.

Please.

It's a long way.

It's rough going every step of it.

Well, I'm very strong.

What's stronger than you might think?

We just might make it.

Got one thing in our favor.

Old tall fireticks embarrassed their money seriously.

It'll go on all day and all night till it's finished.

Come on, I'll help you.

Oh, you get on and I'll follow.

Well, surely never make it if you must be helping me at every turn.

Anything you say, sister?

Wait.

Here.

bass motorphone.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, no, not at all.

I have starved at that.

I know.

My stomach's to my backbone, too.

Hey.

I got some sorghum stick here somewhere.

It comes in handy on the trail.

Here, now, on that.

It won't fill you up with the sweet taste.

Be distracted.

Go on, take a leg.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

Go on, take a leg.

We set a sun and hang up there another hour, too.

Can't go down the side of that mountain in the dark.

It's bad enough in the daytime.

It's just a little ways farther to where I left old Bessie

and there's some food and water and it ain't old blanket.

It'll keep the night chill off of you.

Let's go.

I'm going to go to the

right here where I left him.

I know it was.

They got her.

It's bad enough that they got all our supplies,

but now they know that I'm up here somewhere.

Here, Josh.

It is distracting.

Oh.

What do we do now?

What do we do now?

If we got any sense, we'll get out of here.

What is it, Josh?

Nothing.

Just trying to feel a little breeze on my face.

Find out which way the wind's from.

We can't settle down directly upwind in that village.

They'll smell us out in no time.

Not particularly flattering, but to them chilicot,

these wee smell bad.

It would be fun crazy to try to go down the side of that mountain in the dark.

I'll slip on that ledge.

I ain't doing it to go all the way to the bottom of that ravine.

We'll just make you a bed out of some of these nice drier leaves.

You can burr it down pretty much.

We've got to leave it first light in the morning.

Oh, I'm not frightened.

I'm just saying my everyday evening prayers.

Don't you ever pray, Josh?

I reckon, no way.

I guess everybody out here in the wilderness gets one day to the next for some kind of prayer.

You just settle down.

We don't have to get some sleep now.

Oh, I'm gonna sit watch.

Sure, but they won't see us here in the dark.

Sister, I don't want to scare you, but them chilicot,

these ain't all we got to worry about up here.

There's grizzlies and cats, and I don't know what all.

And we can't risk a night fire.

So like I said, I'll sit watch.

You'll do nothing of the kind.

If there's any sitting and watching to be done, I'll do it.

You saved my life with the risk of your own.

You'll have to do all the thinking for the two of us because I'm no good at all.

It's peaceful now, but there's no telling what might happen, and you'll need all your wits about you.

So you, how do you say you burrow down and get some sleep?

We're in the world that you dig up all that temper.

Boy, it's been a burning day.

It's been a week-ness to me all my life.

No matter how hard I try, there are times when there's nothing to be done for it.

You must have red hair.

Red-headed people tend to be a little hot-headed in time to time.

There must be a bunch of red hair up there under there.

No, I don't.

I don't have red hair.

Listen, just, now I know you want to help.

But I got to where I sleep with both eyes open and beside.

When the day comes that I have to have a woman set watch for me,

that's the day I get off this trail for good.

You understand that, sister?

I think I do, Josh.

If this was to save you, what made you do it?

Do. What do you mean, Josh?

I mean, what made you want to be in on?

That has to be very hard to explain.

I've never thought of myself as being anything else.

My father left me at the gate of the Good Shepherd orphanage when I was a babe.

The convent was my home.

Another St. Paul and the nuns raised me and cared for me.

Oh, the good Lord knows what would have become of me without them.

Do you think about getting married and having your own to your own?

I have.

What kind of woman hasn't thought of such things?

Good night, Josh.

I don't know.

Sitting up there in that ravine waiting on us.

One of them got a rifle.

Probably Billy Hughes.

Must we go down by the trail?

Isn't there some other way we can get down?

Unless you're a mountain goat with wings.

Time to be horse-whip and tell you this, but we gotta go back that hole in the ground.

We can't risk another night out in the open.

Besides, we gotta have food.

The river's pretty close.

There's meat hanging in that cellar.

We can't risk that trail that'll track us.

We'll just go kind of round in the bout and take it slow.

We can't cross that river in broad daylight.

Even if we do get to the spring house, what good is it?

We can't stay there forever.

Oh, I'm just kind of going on that one day at a time, kind of praying.

Praying they'll forget about us or figure we got away or figure something got us.

I don't know.

Josh, you could get by them somehow and save yourself if you didn't have me holding you back.

Couldn't you now?

Well, I'm not going to leave you.

Well, I'd be some kind of a fool if I'd done that to you.

You got to Lord on your side.

Let's go.

Let's go.

This is a snake.

You got it, Lord.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

Such a lot of what you beat.

You soak through, you'll get up suddenly and we're closed.

Oh, a bit damp, I saw.

It's so dark.

No.

We can't risk a line in broad night.

Oh, no.

I'd have to custom myself soon enough.

No.

No.

It'll be moon bright before a long hour of help.

Hope it stays dark for the time being at least.

At least till I get back.

Back.

From where, Josh?

Wherever.

You've got to have water.

Here.

Here.

Oh.

Put your feet up.

I'm mad.

It's pretty up down here.

Thank you.

Josh, we can't have a fire.

How you cook it?

We won't.

Oh, good morning.

You got to eat soon.

I know I do, but...

Just close your eyes and think about something else.

I know it's foolish of me, but I can't.

Well, maybe I can make it up to the school.

Maybe there's some food up there.

The fire didn't get it.

The Larder was back of the schoolhouse.

Here.

Here.

Oh, couldn't take some of that his nourishment.

Sure is nourishment, especially on an empty stomach.

Mm.

Seems like a sander pour out that good whiskey.

But I've got to have this job to get to water in.

There ain't no use in wasting a doll.

Won't you be tipsy?

Take in spirits when you've had nothing to eat.

Josh.

Don't you afraid of being shut up down here with me?

No.

Well, you are be.

Why didn't you have to be so pretty?

Aren't you afraid of being shut up down here with me?

No.

Will you be?

Why do you have to be so pretty?

I'm going to find her, Stan.

I'm a woman like you to give her life to be in a...

a nun.

Just cause some other nuns...

done a decent thing and took care of an orphaned baby.

It's not that way at all, Josh.

I couldn't join my sisterhood just because I felt beholden to others.

Well, now...

I suppose that, uh, you was...

I changed your mind for some reason or the other, huh?

Is it... is there any way you could get out of it?

We had three years to make the decision.

I was to take my final vows at the mother house at Charles the next month.

Do you think I'll never get there, Josh?

Oh, final vows.

What... what exactly is this?

What does that mean?

I'm out of we call an obitiate, sister.

My three years will be up next month.

I'll be allowed to take my final vows.

Uh, you mean, uh, you're not a nun yet?

You could change your mind?

If I wanted to.

I pray to God he'll find me worthy enough and help me on the way to Charles.

You know, I've heard that a woman could drive a man to drink,

but I never put much stock in it for now.

Please, don't take any more, Josh.

If I am drunk, little sister, it is your fault.

I wouldn't talk like that if you didn't have the drink in you.

I never saw a woman in my life that I had a serious thought about.

I'd settle down for you.

I'd love you and provide for you.

What a great, sad thing it is.

A woman like you would have a home, a man and young who's to take care of.

So pretty.

You're... you're just gonna drive.

You're a boy.

A woman in sight is a way of God and a man reigns evil.

If it is less than present to be Groot,

it is that like what you Age looks like.

Dear God.

No, you're allergic to death.

The constitution is doctrine.

lingers under the summons of the dire.

What?

Oh dear, Lord.

Oh.

Oh man.

Hey, hey, hey.

Here.

I know.

I know you don't like this.

But just, oh, we got it, little sister.

Uh-uh.

Just, just a sip.

Just a little bit.

Madison.

For the children.

All right.

All right.

Here.

Listen.

You want me out?

No.

Oh, my God.

Oh, Josh.

What happened?

Well, you've been sick.

Real sick, little sister.

You've been burning up like a bucket of hot coals.

But you're going to be all right now.

Oh, they got soaked through from the river.

Oh, they got soaked through from the river.

Oh, God.

Wait.

It's one of the...

We must have it cut when we go into the sisterhood.

Must be a try and experience.

The woman's hairs are crowning glory.

There's only one crowning glory, Josh.

I reckon.

The sister's sealed yet, uh-uh.

I can't excuse myself the way I was drinking last night.

I...

I don't expect you to excuse me, but...

You got to know how sorry I am about it.

It wasn't your fault, Josh.

It was too.

I'm going to die laying here on this cold ground.

But I didn't.

I don't recall exactly what I said,

but it must have been enough to scare you half to death.

Oh.

It was the whiskey talking.

It wasn't you.

No.

Maybe so.

Yeah.

Sure wasn't me.

Not old Josh Plimmons.

Anybody in Bonesburg, Italian,

or the Boglins, Wobbly,

and Shilly Shabby in Noa County,

ever hit the territory.

Critters like me, we don't ever settle down.

Did you...

Did you steal this from the Chillicotheans?

Oh.

They might have killed you.

If I hadn't have killed them first...

Oh.

I didn't want to kill him, little sister.

They're going to know he's gone for long.

That stolen food and blanket.

They're going to look real good this time.

And sooner or later, they're going to find me.

And me.

That's the worst of it.

No, Josh.

That's the least of it.

Well...

Now, no use worrying you would talk like that.

Besides being known for my lack of responsibility,

I'm all so known for being uncommonly lucky.

So, you try to get some sleep.

Just try, please.

I'm sorry little sister.

Well then, I'll see my best friend.

I'm sorry little sister.

I'll see you later.

I'll see you later.

I'll see you later.

I'll see you later.

Well then, I'll see my prayers.

And for you to recharge.

You will have to come get us.

Oh, Josh.

Josh, can you hear me?

Don't let me go crazy now.

Josh, where are you?

Oh, Josh.

It is you.

I've never been so glad to see you.

I reckon that old quarter of years old Bessie didn't like it around here too much.

She showed up at the fort the next day if you'd left and she was still killed.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

My brother.

I'm sorry Mr. Elizabeth.

I'm sorry.

Look, Desktop, on the Bid Awardagraph,

Jones didn't stand anything lighter.

I haven't irritated her like we were going around here too much.

I'm sorry if you dropped her back?

I know I got burglars.

He changes his mind.

Josh!

I reckon he's been in that cellar so long he's half crazy.

He doesn't know what he's doing.

I don't know.

What is that?

You're in the name of God!

One minute stays.

Now!

Josh, tall fire.

Maybe we can bargain some more.

You let her go and I'll see that you get those iron nails and pickaxes you want.

Hold it, Josh.

It's a fever, tall fire. Bad fever.

You know how it makes your hair fall out?

She been sick.

Real sick.

You take her with you and white man sickness is spread through your whole tribe.

You are in a hurry.

I'm sorry, Josh.

I'm sorry, Josh.

Oh, my gosh, Josh, I'm sorry.

Josh, I wish you'd change your mind by a camera Charles.

I'm tripping, do you good?

I don't want a motor Charles.

I don't want anybody to be charged.

See you later.

Rebecca.

Come again.

Thank you.

Sister.

You're a good bless.

I forgot the lunch.

It's packed.

Come on, you're still up here.

I better see if Becky forgot anything else.

Josh.

It's very hard to thank someone that's...

You risked your life time and again to save mine.

I can't find proper words.

There's still time to change your mind.

I'm sorry.

We'll be back.

We'll be back.

Goodbye, Josh.

Get up there.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.
