00:45Ha!
00:47Come on, Will.
01:00Looks like we fooled them.

01:45Hey, boys!

01:55Hurry!
01:57There's a kid down there on a ledge.
01:59Too bad.
02:00Let's get going.
02:02We can't leave that kid down there.
02:03There's a posse chasing us.
02:05Come on, we can't waste time.
02:07And he might die.
02:08If that posse catches us,
02:10we will die.
02:11Get on your horse.
02:14Get on that horse!
02:23Hurry!
02:24Hurry!
02:27Please, hold on!
02:28Please, help me!
02:39Help!

02:49Come back here!
02:50Help!
03:02Please, help!
03:07Please, help!
03:10I can't leave that boy down there.
03:11Okay.
03:12There we go.
03:13All right.
03:13We'll do it.
03:13Come back here.
03:13We'll do it.
03:14Okay, boy.
03:23Here comes the rope.
03:30Okay, now, don't try to come up.
03:31I'm coming down for you.
03:38Hurry.
03:40Take it easy now.
03:43Take it easy.
03:45It'll be all right.
03:52Okay.
03:53Come on down here.
03:56Let me get this rope around here.
04:00Got it.
04:03Take it now.
04:04All right, Will.
04:16I'll pull him up.
04:17Thanks, Hank.
04:22Will.
04:23Will, you all right?
04:25I think my leg's broken.
04:27Will.
04:28Here comes the rope.
04:30I'll tie it around you.
04:32I'll pull you up.
04:33There comes the rope.
04:55Thanks, Randy.
04:56I'll get to work.
04:57Good luck.
04:58Oh, I fell off a hill in the canyon and landed on a ledge.
05:22These men found me and pulled me up.
05:24Boy, I could have been a goner.
05:28Well, much obliged.
05:30Luke McCain.
05:35What's wrong with him?
05:36My brother broke his leg going after your son.
05:40Mark?
05:43Well, let's get him inside.
05:45Easy, boy.
05:47Pants of boy.
05:49I'll go for Doc Sedgley right away.
05:51We don't want a doctor.
05:57That's right.
05:58Let's get him inside.
06:01Let's go.
06:01Let's go.
06:01Oh.
06:06Oh!
06:14Oh, my God.
06:44Well, there it is.
06:47You won't be able to do much riding for a while.
06:51I was just thinking the same thing myself.
06:55I was wondering if he couldn't stay here till he was better.
07:00Will wouldn't have no broken leg, and we wouldn't be asking no favors.
07:04Except he saved your boy's life.
07:08All right. We'll fix you up a place here.
07:10No, thanks. I'll sleep out in the barn.
07:14I like it better that way.
07:16Suit yourself.
07:18Come on, Mark. We've got some chores to do.
07:23I'm glad you're staying with us, Will.
07:27Come on, son.
07:28What's he so mad about, Paul?
07:40Well, I don't think he knows, son.
07:42But he can't be as mean as he makes out.
07:44Why not?
07:46Well, if he was, he wouldn't have stopped to help you.
07:48I'll leave the money here with you.
07:54What will I see again?
07:55Well, take about a month for your leg to get better.
07:58We'll be by then.
07:59Keep out of sight.
08:00Don't worry about the sod buster.
08:03He's an honest man.
08:06Take care.
08:09Hey, Paul.
08:09Cain?
08:14My name is Bennett.
08:15I'm the U.S. Marshal from Martinsville.
08:17Oh.
08:18You're a long ways from home, Marshal.
08:20Yeah.
08:21Well, our bank was robbed a week ago.
08:23We followed the men who did it up into this area, but we lost them some ways.
08:27There were four of them.
08:28Three men and a young boy, about 19 or so.
08:31Three men have been seen down around Black Springs.
08:33The boy wasn't with him.
08:35I got an idea he might be holed up around here someplace.
08:39You wouldn't have seen him, would you?
08:41No, Marshal, I can't say a hand.
08:43Well, if you do, just let me know, huh?
08:45Sure, go.
08:46Hey.
09:03Suppose I told him you were here.
09:10Then I had to kill both of you.
09:15You couldn't have done that if it hadn't been for my leg.
09:17Oh, yes, I could, son.
09:19And if you don't think so, try me when you get better.
09:33You couldn't have done that.
10:03It must be terrible to be so afraid of every little noise all the time.
10:21That's the worst things.
10:23You didn't come for breakfast.
10:24No, I was sleeping.
10:26You get this for me?
10:28Yeah.
10:30Why?
10:30Thought it would make it a little easier for you?
10:39By the way, there's still some eggs and coffee left.
10:41Mind if I watch you?
11:03Well, fine-looking horse.
11:08You see a better-looking chestnut than this, you let me know.
11:12It must feel great to ride a horse like that.
11:15It's the greatest feeling in the world.
11:18I'm a good rider.
11:20Pa says I'm as good as most men.
11:22How about that?
11:25I rode all kinds of horses.
11:28I was never on one like that.
11:30You want to ride my horse?
11:33Well, would you let me?
11:37Yeah.
11:39Well, gee, thanks, Will.
11:43Thanks a million.
11:44Well, thank me.
11:46Only letting you ride him because he needs exercise.
11:48It's going to be a surprise party.
11:55Andy's mother's taking them to downtown shopping.
11:57When they get back, we'll all be there.
11:59Well, sounds like fun.
12:00It will be.
12:02Do you have a present to take?
12:03No, but I'm getting one tomorrow.
12:06Sure is good apple pie.
12:10Miss Everett.
12:11Glad you liked it, Will.
12:14Do you have a particular present in mind for Andy, son?
12:16Well, there's this kite in Taylor's stories all he's talking about.
12:21Might get him back.
12:22Well, I guess I better be going to bed.
12:25I'll see you at breakfast.
12:27Want to play some checkers, Paul?
12:30Not tonight, son.
12:31I have to work in the books.
12:33Hey, uh, I'm a pretty good checker player.
12:37You are?
12:38Yeah.
12:40Well, then why don't you play with Mark?
12:42All right.
12:44All right, I will.
12:46Well, before you start, let's clean that table off both of you.
13:07How's it feel without the splint?
13:09Feels all right.
13:10Good.
13:13Boy, back break and work.
13:15Anything to do with farming, it's back-breaking.
13:20I don't know.
13:21We used to own one.
13:22Work from sunup to sundown, barely scratch a living.
13:25In the end, they steal it away from you anyway.
13:27Is that what happened to you?
13:28Someone stole your place?
13:29Yeah.
13:30It wasn't my place.
13:31It belonged to my folks.
13:32Who stole it?
13:33It's a man named Carlson.
13:35He was real big in those parts.
13:38He offered to buy it from them for nothing.
13:39When they didn't sell it, he'd run them off the place.
13:43Killed my folks.
13:45Well, that's too bad.
13:48Same thing will happen to you.
13:49You make yourself old fixing this place up, and then somebody will come along and steal it away from you.
13:53What makes you so sure?
13:55It's the way it always happens.
13:56Who says so?
14:00My brother, Hank.
14:01Hank says he's seen it happen time and time again.
14:04Hank says the man that works for a living is a fool.
14:07You know, Hank told me that a guy...
14:08I got too busy to stand here listening to you spout off your brother's nonsense.
14:13My brother knows what he's talking about.
14:15Look, the facts speak for themselves.
14:17Look around.
14:18There's a lot of first-class ranches in view.
14:20They all started small like mine years ago, and they all still belong to the same families.
14:24How does that fit in with your brother's thinking?
14:27Well, that's what happened to us.
14:29They stole our place.
14:31Well, okay, they stole your place.
14:32That's tough.
14:33But it doesn't mean the whole world's bad.
14:35Only a fool or a child would reason that way.
14:49Well, I think I'll go down and check the fence on the North Pasture.
15:10They'll don't work too hard.
15:11They'll work too hard.
15:41Well, I'm looking for Mr. McCain.
15:54Oh, uh, oh, you just missed him.
15:56He just went out to the fences.
15:58I rode over to ask him to dinner on Sunday.
16:02Oh.
16:03You work here?
16:04Yeah.
16:06I never saw you before.
16:08I'm a new hand.
16:11My name's Will.
16:13Mine's Ann.
16:14Ann Baird.
16:15I focus on the next place.
16:18How about that?
16:21Well, I guess I better get back to work.
16:24Will you give Mr. McCain my message about coming to dinner on Sunday?
16:28Sure will.
16:28Well, it was nice meeting you.
16:32It was nice meeting you.
16:34Well, bye.
16:36Bye.
16:37Hey, uh, you ride down this way very often?
16:41Once in a while.
16:44Chances are I'll probably be seeing you again then.
16:46I just wouldn't be surprised.
16:49Bye now.
16:50Bye.
16:50Bye.
16:50Bye.
16:50Bye.
16:50Bye.
16:50Bye.
16:52Bye.
16:52Bye.
16:52Bye.
16:53Bye.
16:53Bye.
16:53Bye.
16:55Bye.
16:55Bye.
16:55Bye.
16:55Bye.
16:55Bye.
16:55Bye.
16:55Bye.
16:55Bye.
16:57I guess it won't be much longer before your gang comes to pick you up.
17:05I guess not.
17:07I guess you're pretty anxious for them to get here.
17:10Yeah, why?
17:12Well, I mean, it must be pretty dull around here for you.
17:16I mean, compared to riding all over with a bunch of outlaws.
17:20I read a book about one of them gangs.
17:22Sure sounded like an awful lot of fun.
17:25Yeah, fun.
17:25Well, it seemed like a lot of things to me in the last couple of years, but it never seemed
17:30like fun.
17:33What's fun about being chased all the time?
17:35Ever staying in one place long enough to know anybody?
17:37Ever knowing where your next meal's coming from?
17:40Ever having anybody trust you or being able to trust anybody else?
17:44Like right now, we're sitting here playing checkers.
17:47And all the time, I have to keep my eye on that door.
17:51It's not fun.
17:52It's not fun at all.
17:55How's she coming along, Will?
18:11Well, almost finished.
18:13What are you going to do with her then?
18:16Well, I think I'll give it to you.
18:20Give it to me?
18:22Well, sure.
18:22What do you think I made it for in the first place?
18:25Well, it's sure a beauty.
18:28You got some chores to do?
18:30Yeah.
18:30Well, now you get about them.
18:31I'll call you when it's ready.
18:33All right, Will.
18:34How are you?
18:48Fine.
18:49How are you?
18:50Oh, I'm fine.
18:52Do you want to see Lucas?
18:53No.
18:54I came to see you.
18:56Well, what about?
18:57I'd like to invite you to dinner on Sunday.
19:01No, I can't.
19:02Well, then, Sunday after that.
19:07I'm sorry, I can't.
19:10I see.
19:12You don't want to come anytime.
19:14Look, that's not it.
19:15I, uh, I can't think of anything I'd rather do.
19:19Well, why won't you then?
19:22I have some people I have to meet.
19:25I see.
19:25Well, then, there's not much use of my riding over here anymore, is there?
19:31Bye, Will.
19:34Anna.
19:39Bye.
19:39You soothe it yet, Will?
19:53What?
19:54The bow, are you finished?
19:57Yeah, I'm all finished.
19:59Here, take it.
20:01Well, go on, pick it up!
20:02Mark!
20:11Mark!
20:13Mark, Mark, wait.
20:14Please forgive me, I'm sorry.
20:16I, I, I didn't mean to do that.
20:17I, I don't know what got into me.
20:18Please forgive me, I'll finish the bow for you.
20:20Get inside, Mark.
20:22Go on, son.
20:26You know what's wrong with you?
20:28You want to quit that bunch, but you're afraid to admit it to yourself.
20:31You know why?
20:35Because you've had a taste of regular life and you like it.
20:38You met a girl you might be in love with.
20:41And you've probably even got a notion about settling down.
20:45That stuff is for fools, not for me.
20:49Well, even if I wanted to settle down, and I'm not saying that I do,
20:52what could I do about it?
20:54That's easy, son.
20:56When they come for you, just tell them you're through.
20:59That's easy.
21:01Well, you don't know my brother.
21:17Hey, Pa, look!
21:20Here they come.
21:23You sure?
21:25Yeah, I recognize my brother's horse.
21:26You going with him, Will?
21:33I don't know.
21:35Get inside, Mark.
21:37Why, Pa?
21:37Go on, do what your father says.
21:38How are you, Will?
22:08I feel pretty good.
22:09That's good news.
22:11We're heading for Dallas.
22:12Get your horse.
22:13Look, Anger, I got something I want to tell you.
22:15Tell me later.
22:16We haven't got time.
22:18Get your horse.
22:20No.
22:21What do you mean, no?
22:24I mean, I'm not going with you.
22:26Not this time, not ever.
22:27I'm quitting.
22:29I want to go straight.
22:30What are you talking about?
22:33Get your horse.
22:34Get your horse.
22:41Won't work, Anger.
22:42Not this time.
22:43He's been talking to you.
22:45The sod buster here?
22:47Nobody's been telling me anything.
22:49I just woke up to the fact that I don't want to live your kind of life anymore.
22:52Let him quit.
22:53Just more money for us.
22:56Okay, sucker.
22:57You can quit.
22:59Give me the money, Will.
23:00Will, that money belongs to the Martinsville Bank.
23:05Shut up, sod buster.
23:07Give me the money, Will.
23:12Give me the money, Will.
23:13Give me the money, Will.
23:13Give me the money, Will.
23:43Well, you better get started, Will.
24:06I told the Marshal you'd be there by noon.
24:08Aren't you going with me?
24:10No.
24:11Thanks a lot, Luke.
24:16Goodbye, Mike.
24:17Bye, Will.
24:29Wait for me.
24:30I'll be back.
24:30Bye.
