Guys

I want everything big

to help you get out of here

and we're gonna see

when we get in the window

we will stay safe

Help me, help!

Oh, that's killing just for the use of killing.

The party!

I'll figure to be any party.

It's not for a while.

Gabe, you got any lion fish hooks?

Never without.

Don't you and Israel catch your massive trout.

Becky, like that.

But, Pa.

Come on, Israel.

There's a bull down the way.

Got trout so big, if you don't be mistaken.

How do you even stay?

Of course, surely.

Mason?

You may need this.

Thanks.

How far back can you remember?

It's a strange question.

I mean, ten years, fifteen years.

You might be some before.

You might be jumbled up a bit.

I can tell you my first clear memory.

There was this high hill called Hens Mount.

We lived close by it.

Holy township.

That's where the Scookeill nudges its way out of the mountains

and settles in for its run to the sea.

One day, my dad took me to the top of that summit.

I was maybe nine, ten years old.

First time I could see over and beyond the mountain.

What a sight.

Mountains and valleys, trundling west.

It seemed like there was no end to it,

like they went home forever.

There'll never be enough years for me to forget that.

Over time I crest a mountain. I think back to it.

It's good to remember, Dana.

You're lucky.

You know, the first thing that sticks in my mind...

my first memory.

Nothing like yours.

Nothing at all like yours.

There was a kid, man, like you, about nine.

Had a birthday the week before, but I don't remember that.

What I do remember is...

a knife...

and a scream.

We was down on the Cumberland.

A township called Shelby.

A pie trapped a little...

barmed a little.

It bothered nobody.

Why, they came on us. I don't know.

It was too up.

It was too up.

It was a drunk, fighting man.

A shout and a shoot and a pie hit me in this potato bin.

I saw the face.

He turned his horse. He had this pitchfork mark.

From his eye to his lip.

Well, that's what I remember, Dana.

It's the first thing I remember.

I killed both of them. My mom and my mom.

Sometimes a day passes.

Never a night when I don't see it all happening again.

Then I've been looking at faces for 15 years.

For that pitchfork mark.

And last night I saw it again.

And here's Mason. How can you be sure?

How many men you know carry a mark like that?

One man has one.

Another one can.

He's the one. There ain't no other.

What do you tell me? What are you gonna do about it?

I love that.

I love that.

But I know what you're gonna say. I know exactly what you're gonna say.

Think on it, Mason.

Don't go off half-cock. Don't try and handle it yourself.

To the word.

Who else is gonna handle it for me?

We got the law.

For something that happened 15 years ago.

No witnesses my word against theirs.

Dental, I don't know much about the law.

But I do know they've walked out of any courthouse as free as birds.

Probably.

What do you suggest?

Just this.

And trying to get at him.

Don't trap yourself.

And that's some advice.

Someone else involved in this.

Amy.

Dental.

I don't pretend to be as wise as you.

Know what you know.

There's this juice that runs in a man that goes right through to his bones.

It says payback.

Not you. Not Amy. Not anybody in the world can turn it off.

I'm gonna get that man with a pitchfork mark.

Payback.

Mason.

Daniel told me.

Couldn't you tell me yourself?

Amy, what's the difference?

When you asked me to marry you asked me to share.

You can't share what's passed.

But this isn't passed, Mason. It's with you now. Always will be.

I understand that.

You mean this is for me alone?

What are you gonna do?

It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

You can't do this to me, Mason.

You can't shove me aside like a dish of gruel that you're through with.

I won't let you do this.

Shoving your side, Amy.

I handle this myself.

And we're not even gonna talk about it.

No.

You take the law into your own hands, Mason, and right or wrong, you're a marked man.

You're scarred, just like the man you're after.

Look, I'm scarred already knowing they'd done it and breathe in free.

What if you're wrong?

I'm not wrong.

They could just look like the men you saw, Mason.

Memory plays tricks.

It was like it happened yesterday. That's as clear as I see it.

If it would bring them back.

They're gonna pay, Amy.

Mason, don't do it.

Look, Amy, I've gotta do it.

It's like a lump of hate inside of me that won't stop aching.

Don't you see that?

No.

All I see is waste.

Kinded.

A man's spoiling to write something that can't be righted by more death.

Dreams turn in south.

Amy, you're asking me to forget.

Yes. For me.

Look, even if I tried and I can't, I'd never be good for you again.

I'd taint everything I have.

If I'm marked as a murderer, Amy, I won't hold you to your f...

I'm pledged to be your wife.

I'll share what's ours.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what happened.

I don't know what happened.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Listen.

What do you want with a mason?

They have a pack horse.

What they did?

Stable it over to Hiram.

Thanks.

Hey!

You want to get that turkey now?

Wrong time of day, you know?

You know what they say, for the sun gets hot.

One home, Israel.

Is that something wrong, is it?

You're sorry if I did.

No, Israel, I just got some business and take care.

That's all.

How are you, mason?

Fine.

And I do for you.

Two men stable pack horse here last night.

That's right.

Done?

Aha.

Couple hours back.

Headed where?

Well, they didn't say.

I'd just sail them.

They took the trail down that way.

They wicked look and pair those two.

If you're thinking of joining up with them, I wouldn't.

How are you, Israel?

All right.

How are you?

Don't ask a man over 50, that's all.

How are you?

Don't ask a man over 50, that question.

He will tell you.

That's far enough for do-a-go right on two to China.

Well, what would we do in China?

Take a hold the other way and come home.

Give me a hand.

Come on.

What are you doing, young man?

Nothing.

You do your chores?

Yes, Paul.

Paul?

Why is mister Mason going to sail him?

I didn't know he was.

He was asking mister Wilson about a couple of fellas.

Mr. Wilson said they were wicked looking.

They were headed for sail him.

I thought he'd take time to reason this thing out.

When a man got that kind of suspicion in him,

he ain't going to stop short of killing.

Killing?

You mean he's after the war.

He's not going to stop short of killing.

Killing?

You mean he's after those two?

Mm.

Gabe, if we got through Lincoln Gap, we can cut him off.

Well, why, Paul?

Why would mister Mason want to do it?

Son, you go tell your mother that I'm off with Gabe.

Now, wait a minute.

You don't want to tell me you don't have to give me a chore.

Israel?

Mason thinks that those two men killed his maw and paw a long time ago.

If they did, why are you stopping him?

Cause Mason could be mistaken.

He wouldn't go after him unless he was sure, would he?

Now, you run along, tell your mom.

Let's go, Gabe.

Get up off of there.

Let's keep moving.

You can keep moving if you want.

But I'm going to have me a little bite to eat and catch me a little nap.

I told you I want to get as much space between me and Boomsboro as I can get before nightfall.

Get going.

I'll catch up.

Well, you've got less brains than that mule there.

Why do you think he mentioned Selby?

Well, now I wouldn't know that.

Would you?

Now, let me remind you, Ancher.

We left Cumberland on a mighty fast run.

We're always living on a mighty fast run.

I'm getting sick and tired of it.

You don't remember, huh?

I don't remember nothing.

That's why I can sleep so good.

Listen to me.

I'm moving fast.

I'm getting rid of them pelts as soon as I get to Salem.

With me, you get your share.

You're not.

It's your tough luck.

Out.

What's the matter?

Got me a thorn.

Well, that leaves up once we're over that ridge.

We got a right to do this, Boom.

Do what?

It's Mason's concern.

Well, that's true enough.

Put your nose in somebody else's business.

Nine times out of ten.

Get your head shot off.

Well, now, Gabe, you've seen it in sov I take a proud man.

It's independent.

Gets into trouble and tries to work it out all by himself.

And you've got two choices.

One, you can stand aside and watch him suffer.

Or you can give him a hand and try to work it out.

Feel better?

Yeah.

All right, let's go.

All right, let's go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

Mason.

Gabe, what are you doing here?

I told you I wanted to handle this myself.

You know, there's a time for talking.

And this ain't it.

You're making me jumpy with all you're peering over your shoulder.

Heard something.

You're always hearing something.

What's some grubbing to you, come on?

Sit down.

They don't rock with down.

My name is Boone.

Daniel Boone, let me have yours.

You out of your senses coming on us like this?

Fire alarms are unloaded.

What's your business?

At the moment, saving your necks.

Whether or not it's worth it, I can't say.

I'm hanker.

He's Smith.

We look after our own necks.

Prime pelts.

Spring beaver.

That's your top price in Bootsborough.

We'll get more and save them.

I'd be, but I doubt the trip will be worth the difference.

Speak your mind.

Well, I'm suggesting that we take a little trip

to Bootsborough.

Crazy.

Well, that he ain't.

I'd like to hear the reason.

Get the bottom of the Shelby matter.

Shelby matter.

What Shelby matter?

That kid's just shooting off his mouth.

A kid back there is a full grown man.

With 15 years of hate boiling in his veins,

he saw his own mother and father murdered before his eyes.

So what?

We never did it.

He thinks you did.

So he thinks we did, so what?

No matter where you go or how far he'll find you,

track you down and shoot you both.

We can take care of ourselves.

You don't get the point.

So don't I?

I'm thinking about him.

I don't want to see him do this.

I don't want to see him outside of the law.

Your idea is we go back to Bootsborough, walk up to him,

and say, here we are, fire away.

I guarantee nothing will happen to you.

Just what good is this going to do?

It'll give us a chance to get the bottom of the Shelby

business.

If you're not the man, Mason Pruitt, thanks your honor.

I'll buy you pelts and pay you double the price of them

for your trouble.

And if it turns out otherwise, well, we haven't got much law,

but we've got enough for that.

What if we say no?

I reckon I'll have to get just a bit more persuasive.

Sanchez?

Move out of my woody.

Is Amy?

Where's Mason?

He's inside.

He's all right.

Now don't worry.

You can't keep me here forever, Dave.

Not boona.

You're not nobody.

Why don't you take it easy, Mason?

Mason.

Stop it.

Stop it.

You ain't doing it with it.

Move it here.

Mason!

Oh!

Oh!

I won't forget this game.

Mason, please.

You sure don't make it easy, Mason?

Me.

Mason!

Wait outside, Dave.

You sure you can handle this?

I agree.

Demarral you did not.

Get back.

Gabe, give your arm.

Tinging with the wild, can't you?

You're going to get caught.

Oh, no.

Come on over the well and I'll doctor it up for you, Gabe.

What?

It's none of that business in the first place.

Mason, be still.

Jumping me on that trail cart and be back here

like a sack of corn.

What's going to do him no good, Amy?

Because I'm going to get those two and nobody's

going to stop me.

Daniel and Gabe did this for your own good.

Mason.

Don't turn away from me.

Daniel's brought those two men back to Boonsboro.

He's bringing them here now.

He says maybe this way we can get to the truth.

But the truth is they kill my folks.

That's the truth.

You know that for a fact.

Yeah, I know it.

No room to be wrong.

Amy, I know it.

It's just that in a case like this,

it's best to be double sure for both our sakes.

I talked to Daniel.

I told him you'd listen.

And you will.

Won't you?

Yes, Amy, I will for you.

OK.

You need this little chance, Gabe?

A little.

A lot.

I'm going to get you.

Buddy, Mason.

It would be better for everybody if you and these fellas

had it out face to face.

I've talked with them.

And they're both willing to swear that they had nothing

to do with killing your folks.

Well, I lost two.

They sell their mothers.

And not only that, they deliver.

Well, you've got no cause to say that.

You don't know us.

You never met us before.

If you got any proof, you show it.

Put it right there in the barrel here.

I don't need proof for them or you.

The scar is good and sufficient for me.

I saw it the night my folks was killed.

It was like a fireball tearing through the sky.

And I see it now and I saw it then.

And I'll tell you one thing.

You're going to pay back, mister.

Now get them out of here, Dennel.

I don't care what you told them.

Just get them out.

Take your DC, Mason.

Dennel, I won't hear anymore.

I'm going to my cabin and I'm staying there to sun up.

Then I'm coming out.

And I've got some advice for you.

You stay out of my way.

Yeah.

You think you can reason with that mad man?

You ought to be put and change.

You forced us here if anything happens to us.

It's on your head.

Nothing's going to happen.

What do you want me to do with them, Bo?

Take him to powder house.

Lock him up and let them loose.

They're only accused of murder.

Mason's aiming to spill blood.

Oh, Mason.

Come on, look.

OK.

Feeling good about this, Gabe?

I have felt better.

Sorry, Mason.

Now you'll get over it.

I'll just tell you.

Dan, you try.

It's what they carve on tombstones.

Becky, these gentlemen will be our guest.

Any more of your good ideas?

You safe at our cabin.

Oh, we know it.

It'd be the only place we'll be safe.

So you best get used to the idea, Bo.

You got a couple of steady borders.

MUSIC PLAYING

What's your name, boy?

Israel.

Oh, it's a real fancy name.

I got me a notion of the name more to go with the face.

Here's that you just fine.

Unconsider that.

What would you think Smith's name ought to be?

Kane!

DUNK!

Israel.

I know what you're thinking, Pa.

They were just trying to be friendly, son.

Like they were to Mason's mind, Bob?

Israel, I reckon you got your hearts

had on being a judge.

Judge?

It's a great calling.

You seem to have a special knack for it.

It's to me like you think you can tell with a man's good

or bad just by reading his face.

Well, I can tell about them.

Can you?

Well, maybe you would prefer not to spend the night

on the same roof with them.

Suit me fine.

Or something.

MUSIC PLAYING

Israel!

Come on!

Dental, what's Becky going to say about this?

One good thing, whatever she says, it'll be in private.

I saw them.

They cheer they call, hankering, Smith.

And like you said, I could tell just by looking at them.

Your Pa knew you'd hear.

I told him I wouldn't sleep under the same roof with them.

Your Pa took them in?

If I was him, I'd throw him out like a pair of scurvy dogs.

Going back to your Pa Israel.

Well, I just came to tell you that.

Well, I'm on your side.

So is Pa.

Sometimes I get the feeling that he's just too old to understand

his younger men.

In role.

Come on, Pa!

Better go now.

I can't say what I'm going to do.

Want a make?

Uh, you can start undoing your bedding over there.

Yeah, Israel?

I'm going to start over here.

That fire place is nice and warm for you.

Where you been?

To see the prisoner.

It sounds like you've asked.

You've been stopped.

What you stopped being Mason's friend's son,

he's going to need all he can get.

What he needs is some justice.

And being cooped up is not your idea.

Is that right?

Maybe you've got the wrong one in there.

That's possible.

All kinds of mistakes, if I want to make.

Some of them bigger than others.

Not killing them, am?

By killing the wrong man.

That's it.

Well, you don't be all right there, Israel.

That's fine.

That's our motto.

Been bored, guaranteed.

All right, son.

You're right down there.

Get a good night, sweet.

And I'll be right over here if you need me.

Good night, boy.

Get down.

Tchaar.

Sir Will, come on.

You're going to be like theBlocks lamps!

Sir Chris, you've already been speaking any language about the

you guys today.

Hey, sir. They killed us, and then they killed the whole.

I don't know too bad, but they just ran out of killing.

Go get your boy.

MUSIC

MUSIC

Come on, boss.

They don't need white hair for your mother.

MUSIC

MUSIC

Let's go see what Mason has to say.

MUSIC

Now, this commotion, Mason, what about it?

I don't know what all happens to fast.

Israel said there were two men.

Well, there was this war hooping and screaming and hollering,

and then two men came out of the tavern.

Did you reckon that was?

It was too dark, and before I knew it, they were gone.

MUSIC

Israel, can you describe them, the two men that attacked us and that?

Well, one was tall. Real tall.

He had a bushy beard, and buckskin shirt, and a hat.

What kind of hat?

Brown, green light.

What about the other one? What do you look like?

MUSIC

Stand off, of course the boy, if you can't remember.

Do you remember Israel? What did he look like?

MUSIC

Well, uh, I...

MUSIC

I don't remember.

Right.

MUSIC

Did you ever see him before?

MUSIC

Are you sure?

Dan.

It's important.

Israel, are you dead sure you never saw him before?

Dead sure?

It...

It was Gabe.

MUSIC

He...

He came in whipping his head off, and he and the other fella started hitting since the nattas.

And I stomped around and yelled and ran out.

What?

Why did you do it, Gabe?

Israel, right here in front of everybody, I'm going to apologize.

Apologize?

I've taken advantage of it for purpose.

For an important and very serious purpose.

That makes enough.

Right over here, Paul.

It's a nattas.

He's gone. Where is he?

Go back to that.

Now, uh, Rebecca, name me.

Say they doubt that Israel saw what he says he saw.

Mason, do you believe him?

I believe him, Nennel.

As were you said, the man that hit since the nattas was taught.

How tall?

Well...

Paul is me?

Yeah.

And he said he had a bushy beard, right?

And he wore a buckskin shirt, round hat.

What color?

Green, I think.

Mm-hmm.

What much light was it?

Nope, but it was green.

Maybe.

Well, let's just see for sure.

William, come on down.

William, did you, uh, buy his sincinatus?

Yeah, in the matter, speaking.

Is this him?

Well, I don't know.

Well, he says he is.

And I guess he is.

Well, now, considering the light and the fact that you were waking up out of a sound sleep

and all the excitement going on, is what you didn't do too bad.

William's not what I'd say is tall, but he does have a little ragmop mustache.

No bushy beard.

And he is wearing a buckskin shirt, and I reckon you could call a hat green.

Thank you, William.

Now, what?

This other one that you said was gay.

It looked like him.

Courtney, come on down.

Sorry, Gabe.

Oh, don't be sorry.

Israel, you said what you thought was the truth, and that was no lie.

Well, that's in sincinatus.

Good as new?

Israel!

Come here, boy.

Yep, I'm better and new.

You get the boy, Mason?

A young boy, terrified, upset.

The whole world gone topsy-turvy.

The mind plays tricks.

The eyes play tricks.

Then I saw what I saw.

In the dark, with things happening so fast?

Look, I saw it.

I didn't dream it.

I saw that mark, and he was there, and it was there.

You're a liar.

Mason!

Mason!

Mason!

Mason!

Now, Mason, tell it to me again.

Tell him you think I get joy out of telling that.

It turns me inside out.

You're stuck in your whole life on this.

Please, Mason.

All right, for all the good it'll do.

All right, you were hiding in the potato bin, and the house was on fire.

All right, let's say the house would go over here at the fireplace.

Where would the potato bin be?

Over there.

Over here.

Now, when the man with the scar amounted his horse, where would that be?

Somewhere in between.

And you could see that with the light of the fire.

Now, when he mounted the horse, did he ride off to the left or the right?

The left.

The left.

And when he mounted the horse, did he mount from the left side the same way most folks would do?

And he rode off to the left.

Then that would mean that the only side of the man's face you could see would be this side.

The left side.

Yeah.

The scar is on the right side.

A daddal he could have turned the horse around and got on the other side.

It was a long time ago, about 15 years.

I can't remember every detail.

That's right, you can't, Mason. Nobody can.

Times blurred things up. You can't be sure of anything.

But for what you're planning, you better be dead to the right side.

You better be sure of anything.

But for what you're planning, you better be dead certain.

Oh, Mason.

Oh, I'll let him go.

Oh, there it is.

Oh, there it is.

You could have told me you were planning this.

I had you when letting me do it.

You could have scared that boy out of five years' growth.

Oh, he'll be eating power off my head in 2016.

If he can still swallow without thinking about it.

Well, it was Mason I want to think about.

And himself.

All right, folks.

After closing time, let's...

Oh.

I don't think I made too good of a judge.

Oh, the judge was all right.

It was just a time and it was bad.

He got to the verdict too quick.

No problem thinking.

Seeing isn't as simple as it looks.

Square things with Becky Boom.

Every time she looks at me, I get the idea that my eyebrows are singed.

I'll admit one thing.

Until I get there, I'll admit one thing.

I'll admit one thing.

Until I get there, I'll admit one thing.

I'll admit one thing.

I'll admit one thing.

Until I get there, I'll admit one thing.

Until you prove that Mason was wrong about that scar.

I was sure that Smith and Henker were going to be condemned to men.

And wicked looking like Mr. Wilson said.

And like his real belief.

I'll allow that there are times the innocent sure look crime.

Father, put me some chalk.

Hey.

Are you sure about that, Israel?

Hi, Solomon.

Don't you try to tell me I didn't.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.
