00:00:20What do you think, Tobias?
00:00:22Jason, we get this bunch of collar stogers over that last mountain pass,
00:00:27we'll be dropping them ten feet down in the valley of the Promised Land.
00:00:31And to think of it, it's old Sweet Betsy that's seeing us through safe.
00:00:35You made this, Jason.
00:00:37I'm gonna tell you something, that's the sweetest piece of shootin' iron I ever laid a grip on.
00:00:41Cane Cuggy Rifle!
00:00:44Oh, don't you remember Sweet Betsy?
00:00:48Let's go to Michael.
00:00:49Who falls down?
00:01:16Who falls down?

00:07:47i'M NOT GOLD
00:07:49LIKE
00:07:49REBEN SAYS
00:07:50IT WILL ONLY
00:07:50BE AN HOUR OR SO
00:07:51BEFORE WE'RE BACK
00:07:52WITH THE WAGON
00:07:54ANYWHERE HE STAYS
00:07:55IS GOOD ENOUGH
00:07:56FOR ME
00:07:56BUT
00:07:57CORDY
00:07:57SUPPOSE
00:07:58SOMETHING SHOULD
00:07:58HAPPEN
00:07:59I MEAN SOMETHING
00:07:59REBEN'S RIGHT
00:08:00REBEN'S RIGHT
00:08:01YOU REALLY OUGHT BE
00:08:02UP AHEAD WITH THE
00:08:03WAGON TRAIN
00:08:03WHERE DR. HALKIN'S IS
00:08:05Just in case.
00:08:06Isn't anywhere near my time, child?
00:08:10I ought to know.
00:08:12Then I'll stay, too.
00:08:14But you can't stay, Amy.
00:08:16I won't let you take the chance.
00:08:18You're going ahead with me.
00:08:20Well, seems like Mr. Clay isn't the only one around here who likes to give orders.
00:08:26Maybe you like a man to give orders.
00:08:28Maybe that's why you stay back with a wagon so you can be near Clay and take orders from him.
00:08:39I just talked to Mr. Williams, the wagon boss.
00:08:41She figures you ladies can join the women folks up ahead in the train.
00:08:45Reuben, maybe you can fix some kind of comfortable lock on Luke's wagon.
00:08:49Well, DeVise, Cordy says she ain't going.
00:08:53I'm not going either.
00:08:57You see, Amy, you take the advice from an old hand, you join up with that train.
00:09:02Since Mr. Clay is in charge of this wagon, I'll follow his advice.
00:09:06If he thinks I should go, let him say so.
00:09:23Jason, Amy, you're coming with me.
00:09:29You're my woman.
00:09:36Mr. Foster, we're not married yet, and I'm staying.
00:09:51Jason!
00:09:55Back there just now, I told Foster I never knowed you to take anything what wasn't rightfully yours.
00:10:01Anything make you change your mind, Tobias?
00:10:07I don't know yet.
00:10:11Maybe?
00:10:13Yeah.
00:10:16There is something.
00:10:17Amy.
00:10:19She's longing to Foster long before we join up with this train.
00:10:22You got no call to let her stay knowing what you do.
00:10:26Except maybe you couldn't get hired us to change things, huh?
00:10:30If anybody else say that, Tobias, he'd be swallowing words along with his teeth.
00:10:39I'm sorry, Tobias.
00:10:42Son, we've been together a long time on trails like this.
00:10:45It's in the feet like these.
00:10:48How many times do you wish we had a rifle like this?
00:10:53You made him, son.
00:10:55That Kentucky.
00:10:56And we've got to see that they get through to the folks who hasn't needed for him.
00:11:00If you put a rifle like that in the hand of a settler, you give him safe passage through
00:11:04engine country without getting his hair lifted.
00:11:06And protection for his farms and ranches.
00:11:08You've got four cases of fine Kentucky rifles on that wagon.
00:11:12A hundred good reasons why I was sore on that train should reach Fort Bend alive.
00:11:17And I am just to stay with you.
00:11:19Because you get there and sets up a shop.
00:11:21And you make a Kentucky forever settle who has a wanting for one.
00:11:26There's just one thing, Jason.
00:11:30Rifles and women don't mix.
00:11:40We're moving up.
00:11:42I wouldn't waste any time getting that wagon for Jason.
00:11:45The women join us or no?
00:11:47Oh, they're going, son.
00:11:51They're staying.
00:11:55They're staying with the wagon.
00:11:59Well, if that's where you want it.
00:12:01I don't have to tell you to keep an eye peeled and your rifle's ready.
00:12:06Good luck.
00:12:12Carrie!
00:12:15Carrie, I've got to stay with the wagon.
00:12:17What's busted?
00:12:19Be awfully careful, Luke.
00:12:21Now, don't you worry none, Carrie, honey.
00:12:23Old Luke will be back at his outfit afford the sunsets.
00:12:25And that's a fact.
00:12:27Now, you be a good boy, Clyde.
00:12:30Bye-bye, Daddy.
00:12:31I love you.
00:12:37Goodbye, honey.
00:12:49Yo-ho!
00:12:52Ronnie!
00:12:53Peter!
00:12:53Go!
00:12:53Let's go.
00:13:31Let's go.
00:13:54I'm going to ride up there and take a closer look at them rocks.
00:13:57CK and I'll spot a piece of tough timber in the foothill.
00:14:08Ruben, we got a light in this wagon so we can get it off the ground.
00:14:12I figure if Tobias finds us a piece of timber, we can make a new axle and take off.
00:14:17All right, Clay.
00:14:27Can I help you, brother, Ruben?
00:14:31There we go.
00:14:32Yes, Bridget.
00:14:34There's one.
00:14:35All right.
00:14:38Let me have a hold of that.
00:14:40Yeah, I'll help you.
00:14:43Yeah, I'll set this down.
00:14:47Oh, my beautiful china.
00:14:52Dump your own stuff, Clay.
00:14:55If this wagon needs to be lightened, your rifles are the heaviest things in it.
00:15:00You don't understand, Forster.
00:15:02If there's any engine trouble, those rifles are our only chance.
00:15:06You fools.
00:15:07Every one of you.
00:15:09All you're doing is letting Clay talk into risking your lives for his rifles to get through.
00:15:15His precious rifles.
00:15:18As for me, I'll take my chances with the Indians.
00:15:21If we see any Indians.
00:15:48Come here, Chief.
00:15:49Come here, Chief.
00:16:00I'm sorry about the dishes.
00:16:05We got one chance of getting this wagon through, and that's the light and the load.
00:16:09Not just for now, but permanent.
00:16:13Reggae don't make much difference.
00:16:14Our roughest stuff's handled.
00:16:18I'm afraid the Indians will get it anyway.
00:16:26Cordy, honey.
00:16:30Are you sure you're all right?
00:16:31Oh, yeah.
00:16:32I mean, you don't need old Doc Hawkins?
00:16:34Oh, no.
00:16:36Anything like that, why, you'd be the first to know, Ruben.
00:16:39Yeah, but just suppose that...
00:16:41Oh, no.
00:16:42No, it isn't yet.
00:16:43You know, you are fretting like an old hen.
00:16:49Besides, if it was my time, women have had babies without doctors before.
00:16:55Since the beginning of time.
00:16:57I'm nothing special.
00:17:02Special to me, honey.
00:17:04Mr. Tobias.
00:17:06I hope he didn't see any Indians.
00:17:18Please.
00:17:20Don't change that!
00:17:22Jesus, you're going crazy.
00:17:26So it started already.
00:17:28Well, let me tell you something, Jason.
00:17:30You're going to get all the fighting you're hanging for.
00:17:33Both of you.
00:17:34These Comanches out there.
00:17:35And from the signs, they're as thick as mosquitoes on the Carl River.
00:17:38You find that timber out there for an axle?
00:17:40Not on the prairie.
00:17:41Only a crazy man would be fool enough to ride up in the hills this time of day.
00:17:44Come on, and we'll find some timber.
00:17:47Tobias.
00:17:47You figure maybe them engines are setting up there fixing to trail the wagon train?
00:17:51Maybe someone, me, ought to ride out to warn them.
00:17:54It ain't fair to let them set there like fish in a bar.
00:17:56Well, Luke, them Comanches, they ain't about to tackle anything this size.
00:18:03But you wife and kids you weren't about, you can make your mind easy, son.
00:18:08When there's such thing as a cripple wagon around, they ain't about to tackle a great big wagon train.
00:18:13But I could get a horse and ride there in no time at all.
00:18:15Nobody leaves this wagon, Luke.
00:18:17That's an order.
00:18:20And I'll shoot the first man that tries it.
00:18:51And I'll shoot the first man that tries it.
00:18:57You sure know how to pick a woman, Reuben.
00:19:00If I ever find me a woman that can cook like your Cordy, I'd get myself hitched up right now.
00:19:04You've got to learn them, Lon.
00:19:05You wouldn't believe it, but before we got married, Cordy couldn't even cook water.
00:19:10Water.
00:19:11But I really need a little mountain dew to sort of wash it down.
00:19:15Where did you get married?
00:19:30I don't know.
00:19:30I don't know.
00:19:30I don't know.
00:19:31I don't know.
00:19:31I don't know.
00:19:32I don't know.
00:19:34So long.
00:19:36Move.
00:19:37Go on.
00:19:37Come here.
00:19:40cono.
00:19:40That contraption there uses water.
00:19:42I ain't about to see any hours wasted.
00:19:45Who said anything about wasting it, Mr. DeVice?
00:19:48You know, like the Reverend said,
00:19:49a body's got to have food for the spirits.
00:19:53Seems like you want spirits instead of food.
00:19:56Come on, take that contraption and put it away.
00:19:58We got some work to do.
00:19:59I thought maybe just...
00:20:00No, no, go ahead. Put it up.
00:20:02Yep.
00:20:09I think that fellow's in the wrong business.
00:20:21Old horse,
00:20:23I reckon you're about the most important one at this party.
00:20:27Lots of folks depending on you.
00:20:29Have one on the house. Drink hard.
00:20:32Told me not to waste water.
00:20:34You mean us humans can't have it,
00:20:36but these dumb critters can, huh?
00:20:38That's right, Lon.
00:20:40Exactly right.
00:20:42Them Comanches could come in here and lift my hair right now.
00:20:45Yours, too.
00:20:46Wouldn't mean anything except to us.
00:20:49Could you let something happen to these horses?
00:20:52That wagon ain't got a prayer
00:20:53if I ever reach in Hastings Creek again,
00:20:55do you mean it?
00:20:58Listen, Mr. DeVice,
00:21:00you know all about Indians.
00:21:02Mm-hmm.
00:21:03You think there's gonna be trouble?
00:21:06Trouble?
00:21:08Well,
00:21:09I reckon the whole world's gonna have its share of trouble.
00:21:12Now, you take them tender feet
00:21:14that just left us up ahead
00:21:15in them Conestoga wagons.
00:21:18They're pushing west.
00:21:20Ain't no trouble gonna stop them.
00:21:22Of course, they've heard about
00:21:23them high mountains out there
00:21:25that reach up and nearly touch God.
00:21:26And the big green trees
00:21:28and the streams that's full of fish.
00:21:30Forest full of game.
00:21:31It's all waiting there just for that.
00:21:34But Lon?
00:21:36They'd never make it
00:21:37if they didn't have that Kentucky rifle.
00:21:40Trouble?
00:21:40Sure, they'll meet up with trouble.
00:21:42They'll probably run into a Sioux war party
00:21:45sitting on paint ponies.
00:21:46Sacks of arrows across their back.
00:21:48Streaks of paint on their bodies
00:21:49standing out like a blazing sun.
00:21:52And them Sioux will be itching for trouble.
00:21:54Sioux could outsold them.
00:21:56Outsmart them.
00:21:57Outfight them.
00:21:58Well, I guess they could whip them.
00:22:00If they didn't have that.
00:22:02Yes, sir.
00:22:03Lon, won't you do something for me?
00:22:06Take a hold of that cane tuck.
00:22:08Sight it in.
00:22:10Give a trigger a slow, smooth, easy squeeze.
00:22:16Ain't that a thing of beauty?
00:22:18Hey, Lon.
00:22:19You know what I call that?
00:22:22Sweet Betsy from Pike.
00:22:24Oh, don't you remember
00:22:27Sweet Betsy from Pike
00:22:29Who crossed the high mountain
00:22:31With her love rike
00:22:33With two yoke of oxen
00:22:36And one yellow dog
00:22:38A tall Shanghai rooster
00:22:40And the one spotted hog
00:22:43Give me that gun.
00:22:44Ain't that a thing?
00:22:46Yes, sure, Lon.
00:22:46You take that bunch of Comanches out there.
00:22:49They see a wagon like this broke down.
00:22:51They keep an eye on it.
00:22:52Anything happen to cripple us
00:22:54They'd be in here in a minute.
00:22:56Well, as long as we got Sweet Betsy here
00:22:58And we keep our powder dry
00:22:59And our eyes open
00:23:01We ain't gonna have no trouble
00:23:02With them engines.
00:23:04Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
00:23:12-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

00:23:19-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
00:23:31Come on, let's go.
00:23:45Tobias?
00:23:52Ain't no use telling you.
00:23:55Sorry about the women.
00:23:57What?
00:23:58Oh, heaven with us, I mean.
00:24:07Cordy?
00:24:08Well, she chose to be with Reuben.
00:24:12Huh?
00:24:13I figured she had a right to be.
00:24:19I should have made Amy leave.
00:24:22Only I didn't.
00:24:25I devised.
00:24:28I knew you were right.
00:24:31Only I did what I figured I had to do.
00:24:35Oh, do you remember sweet Betsy from Plyton?
00:24:40Who crossed the high mountain with her lover Ike?
00:24:44With two yokes of oxen and one yellowed dog,
00:24:48A tall Shanghai rooster and one spotted hole.
00:24:55Their wagon broke down with a terrible crash.
00:25:00And out on the prairie rolled all kinds of trash.
00:25:03A few little baby clothes done up with care.
00:25:08Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
00:25:13Ow!
00:25:14Mr. Tobias!
00:25:15Mr. Tobias!
00:25:16What are you doing, Ralph?
00:25:17Oh, I found Luke's watch.
00:25:20You did?
00:25:21Yeah.
00:25:22Oh, this note was with it, too.
00:25:24Well, Reed, what does it say?
00:25:28Well, uh, Mr. Tobias, you're not going to believe this, but I can't read.
00:25:36You can't?
00:25:37No, sir.
00:25:38Would you read it?
00:25:41What's it say?
00:25:43Well, it's read very close to a paper here.
00:25:46It says that...
00:25:53Luke's gone.
00:25:55Crazy coot.
00:25:56He wouldn't do a thing like that.
00:25:57He just had to get back to that wagon train.
00:26:00He couldn't wait, could he?
00:26:02Didn't worry about any of the rest of us getting there or not, huh?
00:26:05Well, what did you expect him to do?
00:26:06Just sit here with his wife and child up ahead with the wagon train?
00:26:09Leave us out here shorthanded when we need every man and animal we can get to fight our way back?
00:26:13It seems to me, Clay, that your high-handed methods are putting us all in danger.
00:26:19Come on, Tobias.
00:26:20Let's get saddled up.
00:26:21You're not going to go and leave us here.
00:26:24Don't you worry, Lon.
00:26:26No, we're not leaving you, Lon.
00:26:27We've got to find a piece of timber so we can make an axle.
00:26:31Besides, Faust and Reuben will stand watch over here.
00:26:36Is everything wrong, son?
00:26:39You know, Preacher, when we get to California,
00:26:41I'm going to get Miss Amy to learn me how to read.
00:26:44And I'll be able to read just as good as Mr. Tobias can.
00:26:48Yes, yes.
00:26:50Oh, Luke's gone.

00:27:01Yeah, Preacher.

00:27:03Yeah.
00:27:35Well, son.

00:28:25I've seen that.
00:28:35you remember what jason said about just having to get them rifles of his and through on time
00:28:40because maybe the lives of every man woman and child in his wagon train depended on

00:44:31It's lower.
00:44:32I can do it.
00:44:32It's lower.
00:44:34It's lower.
00:44:34Oh, let me do it.
00:44:35Oh!
00:44:37I said it's nothing but a scratch.
00:44:39Everybody says nothing.
00:44:44That's all it is.
00:44:45Scratch.
00:44:46Scratch.
00:44:47Oh!
00:44:50Scratch.
00:44:50If you ain't a mess.
00:45:09Agents!
00:45:18Get those women out of the wagon.
00:45:20What do you think, Tobias?
00:45:22They coming in?
00:45:23I don't know.
00:45:25Come on, ladies.
00:45:25Don't worry, Amy.
00:45:28Oh, hey.
00:45:29Come on, ladies.
00:45:30Come on, quick.
00:45:31It's all right.
00:45:32Yeah, careful.
00:45:33Your head.
00:45:34All right.
00:45:36Be very careful.
00:45:37All right.
00:45:38What are you going to do, Clay?
00:45:40You can't go out there alone.
00:45:42I've done it before.
00:45:43Ain't nothing to worry about.
00:45:45Look, maybe Daniel's right.
00:45:47Maybe if we gave him the rifles.
00:45:49I can't do it, ma'am.
00:45:51These rifles are like a trust to me.
00:45:52If they fall in the engines hands,
00:45:54ain't that wagon train
00:45:55that can move up and down this trail in safety.
00:45:58Can't you see that?
00:45:59It'd be like murdering my own folks.
00:46:01We'll stand, little bears.
00:46:01Okay, folks!
00:46:12Where are we coming from?
00:46:14You look like her.
00:46:14Well, I'm sick.
00:46:16I can't go out there.
00:46:16Sm declines.
00:46:20You know what I know.
00:46:20You know why.
00:46:21Heather Wilson biblas notices her.
00:46:21Yeah, I am over.
00:46:22I won't go down the way of her.
00:46:25And he's out there.
00:46:36Don't worry.
00:46:37Jason will be all right.
00:46:44That's like enough.
00:46:46Doggone it.
00:46:47Don't take that clay to better engine than most engines are.
00:47:05There's another redskin you can say a prayer for, Pritchard.
00:47:08Sometimes I get mighty sick and tired of your thick-headedness.
00:47:12You know doggone well who I'm a praying for.
00:47:17I think you've had enough.
00:47:18That old chief ought to send men out here to do a man's work.
00:47:21You come out now, girls.
00:47:24Oh, God, if old Clay ain't done some trading with them engines,
00:47:27they won't soon forget.
00:47:28We aren't out of the woods yet, Tobias.
00:47:30And maybe you'll be glad to do a little smart trading before we're through.
00:47:40Do you think he's all right?
00:47:42You thinking about Clay, man?
00:47:43You can make your mind easy.
00:47:45He ain't engine-born yet, can take that in a measure.
00:48:09The last one must have been waiting for me.
00:48:22Let me help him to buy him.
00:48:29Please.
00:48:33All right, Miss A.
00:48:45I'll help you, Manny.
00:48:47Here.
00:48:49Here, son.
00:48:51Here.
00:48:53It sure seems a sin and a shame to me.
00:48:56All God's children murdering each other like this.
00:48:59And all for what?
00:49:01For nothing.
00:49:02There's room here, plenty for all of us.
00:49:05Now, maybe you'll listen to me, Clay.
00:49:07There was no need for anyone to get hurt, not even Luke,
00:49:10if we act like civilized people.
00:49:14Can't you see he's hurt, defending us?
00:49:16All of us.
00:49:17Can't you stop your bickering even now?
00:49:20At least, Daniel, he had the gumption to go out and do something,
00:49:23not just talk.
00:49:24I'm through talking.
00:49:26From now on, I'm going to start doing.
00:49:54I'm doing.
00:50:09Remember, you're home.
00:50:11You've had enough excitement for one night.
00:50:14Yes, ma'am.
00:50:30Hey, lad!
00:50:35You shouldn't be moving around with that wound.
00:50:39I'm practically as good as new.
00:50:42I was in good hands, you know.
00:50:47Would you round the folks up for breakfast, lad?
00:50:51Anybody's hungry better hurry up.
00:50:53It's no gold arse, ma'am, hurry!
00:50:59Here's something for Cordy, Ruben.
00:51:01Thank you, Miss Amy.
00:51:06I'd like to say a little blessing.
00:51:08Brother Foster was around.
00:51:10Where's Foster?
00:51:14Foster!
00:51:20His horse is missing over there.
00:51:23That fool must have taken off in the night.
00:51:26Let him go.
00:51:27Any man figures he can buy his way through life.
00:51:30Ain't nothing but a Comanche Air
00:51:32gonna teach him any better.
00:51:39I'm going after that doggone fool.
00:51:42You as big a doggone fool as he is.
00:51:45That's all I gotta say.
00:51:46What about the rest of these folks?
00:51:48Is life worth risking theirs?
00:51:53You'll be all right, Tobias, even if you can't see as far as you claim you're used to.
00:51:58If I'm not back in an hour, start packing up and head out.
00:52:03Brother Tobias!
00:52:04Huh?
00:52:06You take your hat off, please.
00:52:08I'd like to say a little blessing.
00:52:11Dear Lord, for what we are about to receive, make us duly grateful.
00:52:17Amen.
00:52:18Amen, Jason!
00:52:24Go on.
00:52:25But you're going to find out that women and rifles don't mix.
00:52:30You're going to find out that women and rifles don't mix.
00:53:10Tell your friends to stay right where they are.
00:53:13And you tell your chief that this rifle is trained on his heart.
00:53:19One twitch of the finger and he dies.
00:53:22I'm glad you came, Clay.
00:53:24I made a deal here with the chief.
00:53:26He gets everything on the wagon.
00:53:28We get back our horses and save passage.
00:53:30Now, don't be a fool, Foster.
00:53:32You can't make a deal with what ain't yours.
00:53:35You get over here.
00:53:36I can't hold him off all day.
00:53:38I can't hold him off all day.
00:53:42I can't hold him off all day.
00:53:48I can't hold him off all day.
00:54:07I can't hold him off all day.
00:54:08You won't lose a thing.
00:54:09There's a lot more a man can lose, Foster, besides his rifles or money.
00:54:14Jason, you've got to give them those rifles.
00:54:16If you don't, they'll kill me.
00:54:18Do you hear?
00:54:18They'll kill me.
00:54:19Foster, if I give them these rifles, maybe they will let you go.
00:54:23But once they get them, they're going to attack that wagon as sure as shooting.
00:54:28If it were Tobias and me, it wouldn't be no problem.
00:54:31But I can't speak for Cordy and Ruben and Lon and Preach.
00:54:36Miss Amy.
00:54:38Stop with them at the wagon and you here.
00:54:42Tell your chief I'll go back to the wagon and talk it over with the others.
00:54:49It's for them to decide now.
00:54:51What about me?
00:54:52I made the offer in the first place.
00:54:53You stay.
00:54:55When we get rifle, you go free.
00:55:13Miss Cordy, I think I'm going to be pretty busy when we start over that pass.
00:55:21So I brought you something here.
00:55:24For your baby boy.
00:55:26Oh.
00:55:30The shang I ran off and the cattle all died.
00:55:34That morning the last piece of bacon was fried.
00:55:38For I got discouraged and Betsy got mad.
00:55:42And the dog took his tail and looked wondrously sad.
00:55:51Thank you, Tobias, very much.
00:55:54You won't leave without him.
00:55:57He had no business leaving, Amy.
00:55:59Not after Clay told him to stay.
00:56:01I didn't mean Daniel.
00:56:03He went of his own accord.
00:56:04I was thinking of...
00:56:07Jason.
00:56:09You don't have to spell it out.
00:56:12You see me?
00:56:12He was thinking of you.
00:56:14That's why he went after Foster.
00:56:15He thought that's the way you wanted it.
00:56:18Miss Cordy.
00:56:20Ain't no use for you to carry on, so it...
00:56:23Ain't like it was your man that was missing.
00:56:30I bet my last red cent.
00:56:33Jason ain't gonna be missing long.
00:56:36Not unless there's more commangers out there on them hills than I think.
00:56:46Ruben?
00:56:49Ruben?
00:56:51Cordy.
00:56:53Cordy, is it?
00:56:56I'm afraid it is my time now.
00:57:00Oh, I...
00:57:01I didn't want it to be yet.
00:57:06I'm not afraid, honey.
00:57:08This isn't the first baby that was ever born.
00:57:10It's certainly not gonna be the last.
00:57:12And they've been born by the thousands.
00:57:14With no doctors anywhere near.
00:57:18I just...
00:57:19I just wanted him to be born when...
00:57:23When there wasn't so much to do.
00:57:26When you didn't have so much on your mind.
00:57:31I wanted him to be a...
00:57:32A pure pleasure to you, Ruben.
00:57:37Not a hindrance.
00:57:41Honey, everything's gonna be all right.
00:57:43You just wait and see.
00:57:45And Cordy...
00:57:47I tell you what.
00:57:49We'll name him Clay.
00:57:51Don't you worry, Ruben.
00:57:52I'll take good care of her.
00:57:54Thank you, Miss Amy.
00:58:11Can't we get a move in, Tobias?
00:58:13There may still be time to reach old Doc Hawkins.
00:58:15I reckon an hour's up, Ruben.
00:58:17You can start any time you want to.
00:58:23I wish that boy Clay was here.
00:58:26I hope nothing happened to him.
00:58:46What are you doing, Amy?
00:58:47Counting your linen at a time like this?
00:58:50We'll need clean things for smarging clothes.
00:58:53Oh, we couldn't let you use them pretty things.
00:58:55Well, we've got lots of airs.
00:58:57No better way to use them, Cordy.
00:58:59Not that I can think of anyway.
00:59:04Are you all right, Cordy?
00:59:05Is there anything I can do?
00:59:10I'm just fine.
00:59:13You know, I...
00:59:15I thought I was going to be afraid.
00:59:18Scared to death.
00:59:20But if not, I feel just wonderful.
00:59:27Hope you know how I feel, son.
00:59:31With the right man.
00:59:40Good to see you, boy.
00:59:42I wasn't fretting about you one night.
00:59:44Like some folks, I know.
00:59:47Foster made a deal.
00:59:49To turn over the rifles and return for safe passage.
00:59:54I've come back to see what they want to do.
01:00:01Jason, you're joshing.
01:00:03Well, she better have a son too long.
01:00:04Since when do you start asking Tenderfeet what to do and what not to do,
01:00:07where commandes is concerned?
01:00:09I don't joke about things like engines or rifles, Tobias.
01:00:14There's 30 or 40 Braves covering that pass.
01:00:16Maybe more.
01:00:20If it was just up to you and me, there'd be no question.
01:00:23We'd fight.
01:00:24But too many people here think that Foster's right.
01:00:29I'm not going to make them risk their lives with my rifles.
01:00:32Since when did you start getting scared, engines?
01:00:37They're my rifles, Tobias.
01:00:40If I want to give them to the engines, I got a right, too.
01:00:43Well, a man's got a right.
01:00:44A man's got duties, too.
01:00:47First time I ever know you've put your rights in front of your duties.
01:00:50Now, hold on, Tobias.
01:00:51You ain't got no call to talk to Clay that way.
01:00:54He's only doing what everybody said he ought to do right straight along.
01:00:58Trade them rifles of his and for these precious lives.
01:01:01Preacher, you don't know what you...
01:01:02I believe Preacher's right, Tobias.
01:01:04Before Foster left, he said...
01:01:08What happened to Foster, Clay?
01:01:11Engines.
01:01:12They're holding them till they get the rights.
01:01:15There.
01:01:16That's all the more reason Clay's right.
01:01:18If we don't give them them rifles, Foster's a goner.
01:01:22Then I'd say good riddance to it.
01:01:26This will be the first time I ever know a man putting a Kentucky rifle in the hands of Comanche.
01:01:33And if you put enough of them in the hands of them Comanches, they'll take Scalp from here to St.
01:01:38Louis.
01:01:40You're wrong, Tobias.
01:01:41I know you're wrong.
01:01:44It isn't wrong.
01:01:45And every one of us knows it deep down inside.
01:01:48Sure, nobody wants to die.
01:01:50I don't.
01:01:50You don't, Ruben.
01:01:52Neither do any of our friends up ahead in the wagon train.
01:01:55But you can't buy your freedom the way you buy your pork and so many Kentucky rifles per pound.
01:02:03Jason, a little while ago I thought I hated you.
01:02:06I didn't hate you.
01:02:07I envied you.
01:02:08You knew what was right and you had the courage to do it.
01:02:12Maybe without even realizing it, I may have loved you.
01:02:17Now when I realize that you were right all the time, that we can't put rifles in the hands of
01:02:22men who will use them wrongfully.
01:02:24To kill our friends.
01:02:25People we haven't seen before.
01:02:27People who aren't even born yet.
01:02:29Like Cordy's baby.
01:02:31You say, let's do it.
01:02:33What kind of a man are you anyway?
01:02:36Miss Amy, he knows what's right.
01:02:39If you'll pardon me, ma'am, you've just kind of twisted his thinking cap.
01:02:43All he thinks is you want fostering and foster's what you want.
01:02:47Foster's what you'll get if he has to sell his soul to the devil.
01:02:50That's all.
01:02:53Well, Ruben.
01:02:56Let's take a vote.
01:02:58You want to give them heathens them kin touch her, don't you?
01:03:03Oh.
01:03:03Lon!
01:03:05What about Lon?
01:03:07A preacher?
01:03:08Tobias, I'm a man of peace.
01:03:12And I think that one human soul is worth ten thousand of them rifles they're hisen.
01:03:18So I think maybe he's right in trying to make a trade.
01:03:43If that's the way you want it, that's the way it's going to be.
01:03:47Good morning.
01:03:49Jason, they're wrong.
01:03:52I'm sure of it now.
01:03:54What can we do?
01:03:55They're entitled to speak their peace.
01:03:58And I told the Comanches I'd stick for their word.
01:04:03I never heard of such foolishness.
01:04:06First, I think you're going to bomb me with Miss Amy.
01:04:11I'm sorry.
01:04:14I'm sorry.
01:04:15I declare if I don't think Jason's been out in the sun too long.
01:04:21I'm sorry, Mr. Tobias.
01:04:23I had the...
01:04:23All right.
01:04:43Thanks for coming, Tobias.
01:04:46Only I got to ask you to go back.
01:04:48They'll meet you more back there at the wagon.
01:04:50I reckon it don't make much difference where them varmints lift my hair.
01:04:54The result's the same.
01:04:58Doggone it, Jason.
01:04:59Have you gone flum, loco?
01:05:00Ain't no use chewing it all over again, Tobias.
01:05:04I give my word, and who knows, maybe it works.
01:05:08You're talking more like them tender feet every day.
01:05:42Tell you, Chief, we give up our rifles.
01:05:54But tell him to give us his word, he'll lay down his bows and arrows.
01:05:57And leave us going peaks.
01:06:00Man, Chief, lay down arrow.
01:06:03Now, here.
01:06:05Please, keep word.
01:06:06You, go in peace.
01:06:09Go back to the wagon now and bring the rifles here.
01:06:14You'll be all right now, Faust.
01:06:17You understand?
01:06:21Jason, you're dead wrong about these varmints.
01:07:06You're dead wrong about these varmints.
01:07:30You said that we could go in peace.
01:08:05You said that we could go in peace.
01:08:24You said that we could go in peace.
01:08:47You said that we could go in peace.
01:08:51You said that we could go in peace.
01:08:55You said that we could go in peace.
01:09:23Let's get Amy to take care of him.
01:09:30He's hurt bad, Amy.
01:09:32He was trying to warn us.
01:09:34Sorry, Amy.
01:09:36Amy, I thought I was doing the right.
01:09:38Come here, James.
01:09:43Well, get lost in that wagon.
01:09:44Quit.
01:09:45No.
01:09:46Get them rifles out of there.
01:09:47Leave me here.
01:09:48I'll be all right.
01:09:57Let him come close enough so you don't waste a shot.
01:10:00Let him have it.
01:10:15Lon, don't get nervous.
01:10:17Remember what I told you.
01:10:19Keep that trigger slow, smooth, and just squeezed.
01:10:22Catch it.
01:10:23You got your Adam's apple jumping up and down like a cockroach on a hot stove.
01:10:26Simmer down here.
01:10:27Choke yourself for sure.
01:10:28And now, Lon, now is the time to fire.
01:10:52I always said that boy was in the wrong business.
01:10:55Lon, you're barking when you're trying to kill me.
01:10:58What's the matter?
01:10:59Here, get out of here.
01:11:01Get me some more of them.
01:11:06Let's cut it, my looking cookie.
01:11:09Leave me in the wrong.
01:11:10Yeah.
01:11:12They're gone.
01:11:13Let's load up some more of them cane tucks, because they might come back.
01:11:22Let's get out of here.
01:12:09Come on back, you miserable barbent.
01:12:11I got some more of these cane tucks I want to give you.
01:12:14I'm sorry, Mr. Tobias, but I forgot everything you told me to do.
01:12:18I squeezed and squeezed.
01:12:20Nothing happened.
01:12:21Shut up.
01:12:32I got some more of them.
01:12:34I got some more of them.
01:12:39I got some more of them.
01:12:40I got some more of them.
01:12:40I got some more of them.
01:12:40I got some more of them.
01:12:40I got some more of them.
01:12:42I got some more of them.
01:12:43I got some more of them.
01:12:49I got some more of them.
01:12:57Foster! You going crazy?
01:13:02Foster, come back!
01:13:23The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away.
01:13:29Oh!
01:13:36The Lord taketh away, but the Lord giveth.
01:13:42Blessed be the name of the Lord. Amen.
01:13:48Well, we best be moving on before darkness sets in.
01:13:51Like them Comanches, you haven't got enough.
01:13:53But the body can't tell what they'll be up to next.
01:13:57Yeah, it could be we ain't gonna see no more engines for a while,
01:13:59but we're gonna be mighty careful just the same.
01:14:02Reuben?
01:14:04Oh, Reuben.
01:14:06You best drive the wagon.
01:14:09Preach will be with you.
01:14:11Tobias and Lon will bring up the rear in our right point.
01:14:18Now, we're all tired and thirsty and beat.
01:14:23And maybe the Comanches will be figuring on that.
01:14:25So keep a sharp eye open.
01:14:28And if we'll jump your head for the wagon,
01:14:30there's plenty of loaded rifles there ready for us.
01:14:34Get real.
01:14:40Now.
01:14:41Now.
01:14:46Now.
01:14:49Now.
01:14:53Now.
01:14:53But.
01:14:54Now.
01:15:08Oh, my God.
01:15:24Till we gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river.
01:15:34Yes, we shall gather at the river that flows by the door of God.
01:16:10White man, rifle, speak, quick death.
01:16:15Comanche, no fight.
01:16:18White man, go in peace.
01:16:24White man, go in peace.
01:16:30White man, go in peace.
01:16:47Comanche, say they're willing to let us go through without a fight.
01:16:50That ain't the way I'd do it.
01:16:52I'd get a running start and blast them heathens from here to kingdom come.
01:16:55I figure not, Tobias.
01:16:57I figure maybe they got their bellies full.
01:16:59And if we start shooting, maybe they don't run.
01:17:02But some of us are going to get hurt, especially if they're riding in that wagon.
01:17:06Why have we stopped?
01:17:08Checking up.
01:17:09Everything's just going to be fine.
01:17:13All right, now.
01:17:14I'm moving up.
01:17:16Come here, Lorne.
01:17:17Come here, Lorne.
01:17:18Now, listen.
01:17:19Don't you start getting trigger-happy with that King Tucky.
01:17:22You ain't supposed to fire till Jason gives the word.
01:17:25Do you hear me?
01:17:26Please, Mr. Tobias, don't start picking on me.
01:17:28Please.
01:17:29I reckon I ain't no more jittery than nobody else.
01:17:33All right, get out of here.
01:17:39I still think that boy's in the long business.
01:17:44Come on, Dr. Tobias!
01:18:25Come on, Dr. Tobias!
01:18:28Hmm?
01:18:29Hmm?
01:18:30Hmm?
01:18:30Hmm?
01:18:31Hmm?
01:18:33Hmm?
01:18:51Hmm?
01:18:53Hmm?
01:18:55Hmm?
01:18:56Hmm?
01:18:57Hmm?
01:18:59Hmm?
01:19:00Hmm?
01:19:03Hmm?
01:19:05Hmm?
01:20:14Mr. Tobias, it's mighty quiet.
01:20:19I'm scared.
01:20:26I need to get you long.
01:20:28I need to get you long.
01:21:20I need to get you long.
01:21:35I need to get you long.
01:22:00Come on, do me a favor.
01:22:01Go get Jason, will you, please?
01:22:03But you'll hurt bad, Mr. Tobias.
01:22:04I can't leave you.
01:22:05Nothing matters for me, son.
01:22:06Go get Jason, will you?
01:22:07Go ahead.
01:22:07I'll get you long.
01:22:12I'll get you long.
01:22:32I'll get you long.
01:22:43I'll get you long.
01:22:46I'll get you long.
01:22:54I'll get you long.
01:23:07Why them high moms reach up and touch God in them big green trees?
01:23:13You be setting up a shop, Jason, and you...
01:23:16You start making these cane tucks.
01:23:23Ain't they a thing of beauty?
01:23:28Oh, don't you remember, sweet Betsy?
01:23:37BIRDS CHILDREN
01:23:38Oh, no, no...
01:23:45Ah!
01:23:50Oh!
01:23:52Oh, no!
01:23:58Oh, no, no...
