00:39Come in
00:47Father, you didn't write you were coming
00:50Why would I? I knew I'd be here before I knew a letter
00:56So this is where you've spent your last five years
00:59Going to school in the daytime, keeping store at night
01:02I'm graduating tomorrow, sir
01:04Your brother Lon going west to seek his fortune
01:06He's never written me once, not all these years
01:09Lon and I were always different
01:11What are you doing in St. Louis?
01:13I'll tell you
01:14Five years ago, you and Lon left home like thieves in the night
01:17I had careers planned for you
01:19Careers in the Army of the United States
01:21But no, you didn't want that
01:23So I decided I'd come and see what you'd made of yourselves
01:27I can't speak for Lon
01:28No, you can't
01:29Lon's dead
01:31Lon?
01:32I wrote letters of inquiry to almost every federal law officer in the Western Territory
01:37I finally got this reply
01:41Says Lon's dead, shot down in a gunfight
01:45Buried there in this place called North Fork
01:48Signed by the Marshal with regrets, that's all
01:51Well, it's not enough
01:53My son dead and I don't know why or who did it
01:56I demand answers to these questions, I want satisfaction
02:00That's why I'm here, Ben
02:01You and I, we're going to this North Fork
02:05I can't leave
02:06I said we're going, Ben, that's an order
02:10Father, I'm not going
02:13I might have expected that
02:15You've disobeyed me all your lives, you and Lon
02:18Very well, I'll go alone
02:21Father
02:23Don't ever call me that again
02:26I've no sons
02:27No sons left at all
02:51Good day, sir
02:51Good day to you, sir
02:52Road markers were down a while back
02:54Wondered if I was on the way to North Fork
02:56A few more miles, you'd have been there
02:58Say, on the way in, you didn't see a boy
03:00A 12-year-old on a chestnut mare, did you?
03:02No, can't say so, anyone
03:03Your boy missing?
03:04Late from school
03:06Maybe you could use some water
03:07Thank you, I have sufficient
03:10Cavalry, huh?
03:11Captain Josiah Perry, 3rd Illinois
03:13Glad to know you, Captain
03:14I'm Lucas McCain
03:17You plan on visiting North Fork
03:19Or are you just passing through?
03:21You might say I'm going to visit Kin
03:29Is that your boy?
03:30That's him
03:38Hello
03:40I'm sorry, Paul
03:41But when the fish started biting Will
03:42I forgot all about time
03:44But they'll be good for supper, though
03:45Mark, you were supposed to be home hours ago
03:47And on the way home
03:48You were supposed to bring me my axe plate from the blacksmith
03:51Where is it?
03:52I forgot it, too
03:54A visit to the woodshed would sharpen his memory
03:56Man or boy, strict discipline is the only way to teach him
03:59Thanks for the advice, but I'll raise my boy my own way
04:02I've reared two of them
04:03Two boys
04:04Who disobeyed my wishes and went their own ways
04:07If I'd beaten some sense into them when they were young
04:09I might have gotten better than I received
04:12They left me with bitterness and heartache
04:14You listen to me, McCain
04:16Discipline that boy
04:17Or the same thing will happen to you
04:18Good day
04:22Who was he?
04:24Stranger, wanting directions
04:27He sure seemed mean
04:29He must have been hurt pretty bad
04:32Mark, what am I going to do with you?
04:35Well, whatever you think, Paul
04:36I know it was wrong
04:37And knowing is one thing
04:39And doing it again is another
04:40Now, for the next week
04:41You'll come home right after school
04:43And you'll have some extra chores
04:45Right now, get back on that horse
04:47Go into town and get my axe plate from the blacksmith
04:49And don't dawdle
04:50Come right back
04:51Yes, sir
04:52Here, we'll have these for supper, all right?
05:14Relax yourself, Mark
05:15This work will be finished in a few minutes
05:17Yeah, but you don't understand
05:18Paul wanted me to get right back
05:21So, I'll just explain to him
05:22I didn't find time to finish the work like I promised
05:24Lucas will understand
05:29Here
05:31Run, get yourself some candy
05:32By the time you get back, I'll be finished
05:35All right
05:43Captain Perry, I told you all I know in my letter
05:47You mean to tell me that even with your books
05:49You can't remember who killed my son
05:52That's right
05:54My son's life meant that little
05:57I can't accept that, Marshal
06:00All I can say, Captain, is the case is closed
06:03Now, what good will it do to start digging around in all the details?
06:06Well, I've got left of my son as details
06:08I want to know how he died and why
06:12You might not like what you hear
06:14I've come a long way to hear whatever it is
06:18All right
06:20Your son was involved in a criminal attempt to extort money
06:24When he found out his plan wasn't going to work
06:26He forced a gunfight, hoping to kill the man who stood in his way
06:29Did you see it, this gunfight?
06:33My son, it wasn't a matter of cowardice
06:36It was a fair fight, if that's what you mean
06:39The other man just happened to be a little faster
06:42And this other man?
06:46Captain, why don't you just let it rest there?
06:50What's his name?
06:52I said it was a fair fight
06:53Name and names won't help anything
06:55I just want to see this man and talk to him
06:59I don't have to warn you, Captain
07:01If you've come here to cause any trouble
07:04His name
07:08Goodbye, Captain Perry
07:23I tell you, I don't remember who this Lon Perry was
07:26I don't remember any killing
07:29He's buried out in your town's graveyard
07:31Killed in a gunfight last July
07:33Why is it so important that you find out who did it?
07:37I'm the boy's father
07:39Why don't you go talk to the marshal
07:41Maybe he'll help you
07:42I got work to do
07:51Well, son
07:53Didn't expect to see you up and around so soon
07:55Well, I was just going to pick up some things for my boy
07:58And get right back
07:59He's probably missing me already
08:00You, uh
08:01You don't happen to know the way to Willow Spring, do you?
08:05Oh, sure
08:06I'd draw it for you in the dirt
08:08Well, fair enough
08:13First of all, you know the road that you're coming to town on
08:15Well, instead of going straight ahead, you turned right
08:18Oh
08:18I just keep on following it
08:19There are a few signs
08:20I see
08:20You know, you, uh
08:22You're a smart young fella
08:23I wonder if you could help me
08:24You know, last July
08:27A man was killed in this town
08:29In a gunfight
08:30Name of Lon Perry
08:33You, uh, remember that?
08:37Well, I don't know
08:38Oh, sure you do
08:39Smart young fella like you
08:41You'd remember a gunfight
08:44What do you want to know about it?
08:45Yeah, I'd just like to know who killed him
08:48You see, I've been wanting to thank whoever did it
08:50You want to thank him?
08:52That's right
08:53You see, I've been looking for Perry myself
08:55Oh, he was a mean man
08:56He was
08:57Now it looks like someone in your town's done me a favor
09:01Looks like you've come to the right person
09:03You see, it was my pa that shot him
09:06McCain?
09:07Yeah
09:07Miss Perry, he challenged him
09:09And old pa tried to avoid a fight
09:12But he had no choice
09:19You've been real helpful, son
09:21Real helpful
09:22Is that all you want?
09:23He was already in the house
09:23He was already in the house
09:28He was already in the house
09:29He was already in the house
09:31He was already in the house
09:32He was already in the house
09:33He was already in the house
09:33He was already in the house
09:34He was already in the house
09:34He was already in the house
09:37He was already in the house
09:37He was already in the house
09:39He was already in the house
09:40He was already in the house
09:41He was already in the house
09:42He was already in the house
09:43He was already in the house
09:48He was already in the house
09:52He was already in the house
09:55No, no, no, no.
10:23There's nothing else I could do.
10:24I know. I know all about it.
10:26He was involved in some criminal scheme, but...
10:28But what, Captain?
10:29But you were the one who killed him.
10:31With all respect, Scabble, it was your boy who asked for it.
10:34I'm not talking to you, mister.
10:36My boy did wrong McCain. I know that.
10:38And he's dead for it.
10:39If he was alive, I'd punish him. He disobeyed me.
10:42Yes, he and Benjamin, both of them.
10:44I had plans for him, but no, he had to come out here and get himself killed.
10:48But that's not going to be the end of it. It can't be.
10:50What's all this got to do with me?
10:52Did you think you could kill my son and not be punished for it
10:55the same as I'd punish him if he was alive?
10:59Captain, you better think about it.
11:00You don't really want to punish me.
11:03Oh, but I do, McCain. There's no one else.
11:06You're being foolish.
11:07Take your punishment like a man. You're under my command now.
11:11Don't do it, Captain.
11:32I'm locking him up till he cools off.
11:34Better try and talk some sense into him, Michael.
11:36You're under my command now, Michael.
11:37You're under my command now, Michael.
11:37You're under my command now, Michael.
11:42Thank you.
11:44You know, he should have taken his punishment.
11:49It would have been better for him if he had.
12:05You don't seem very hungry, son.
12:08Well, not much.
12:10Something bothered you?
12:14Paul, before you came into town today,
12:17well, the captain stopped me
12:19and started asking me a lot of questions
12:20about who killed Lon Perry.
12:22You told him?
12:23Well, he tricked me.
12:25He said that he wanted to thank the person who did it
12:27because, well, because he had been looking for him himself.
12:31Son, that didn't give you any cause to tell him.
12:34Well, I guess I was kind of proud that you were the one.
12:37I'm proud.
12:40I've taught you always there's nothing to be proud of
12:42in the killing of a man,
12:43no matter who he is or what he's done.
12:45I know, and I'm sorry.
12:49Well, go on and finish your supper.
12:55That captain sure is a strange person.
12:58But what I don't understand is why he wanted to punish you
13:01if, well, if he hated his son so much.
13:05Well, Mark, sometimes a man trained the way the captain's been
13:09barely gets to living by the book.
13:11You see, in the army, there's a book of rules to study
13:13and follow to the letter.
13:14A lot of that book's got to do with discipline,
13:17keeping his men in line and forcing their obedience.
13:20Well, with Captain Perry, it seems he's got discipline
13:23all mixed up with retribution.
13:26In his mind, somebody's got to pay for what,
13:29well, what he thinks his son did to him.
13:32Now his son is dead, and he's turned to me.
13:36I think I understand, but I'm not sure.
13:40Well, I'm not exactly sure I've got it right either.
13:42Now, you better finish your supper
13:44or start clearing the dishes, huh?
13:47I'll finish.
14:05Can I have supper for you?
14:07Thank you, Marshal.
14:19If you've got nothing better to do, I'd appreciate the company.
14:24How long you figure to keep me here?
14:27Oh, I don't exactly know.
14:29I'm due back at my post in four days,
14:32and that's a good four-day ride.
14:33I can't help that, Captain.
14:35You probably think I went out of my head today, hmm?
14:39Well, that could be true.
14:41Seeing my son's grave this morning did something to me.
14:45You got any children, Marshal?
14:48No.
14:49Well, I'd have to say you're lucky.
14:52Those of us who have children have to be lucky to have them turn out well.
14:55Oh, I don't know.
14:56I've seen plenty of them grow up.
14:58Not too many of them grow up.
15:00Well, you could be right.
15:02Maybe it's just my own hurt talking.
15:05You see, I had dreamed that they'd carry on the Perry name in the service,
15:09but they wouldn't give me that.
15:11Now when I find Ben's no more, my son, an army mule,
15:15and I hear Lon's dead, just an outlaw,
15:19well, nothing much left except feeling hate and spiking out at things.
15:26When a man has a kin shot down, let alone a son,
15:30it's understandable he'd want to go out after the killer
15:33no matter whose fault it was.
15:34Well, a man might feel that way at first,
15:36but then his reason ought to take over.
15:39I can't say I blame McCain.
15:41Very likely he couldn't help it.
15:45Seems like you've changed a little since this afternoon.
15:48Well, I've done with McCain,
15:50and with this town and all the rest.
15:51All I want now is to get back to my post.
15:54Maybe back there in the life I know I can forget all this.
16:09Captain, will you give me your word you'll cause no more trouble?
16:15As an officer and a gentleman.
16:19I'm going to take you on your word.
16:44I don't know how to thank you properly, Marshal,
16:47for your understanding.
16:49Will you see that there's always a marker on my son's grave?
17:15Marshal, my name's Ben Perry.
17:17I was told by the people at the hotel that you're holding my father.
17:20Well, I was. I let him go just a little while ago.
17:23He's gone.
17:24Where?
17:25Back to his military post.
17:27I was told he had some trouble with a rancher today,
17:30Lucas McCain.
17:32A little.
17:33I'd like to apologize for my father, Marshal.
17:37He hasn't been himself lately.
17:38I understand, Mr. Perry.
17:41Oh, would you like a cup of coffee?
17:42No, thank you.
17:43I'm obliged to you, Marshal.
17:46I'm obliged to you, Marshal.
17:50Thank you.
18:14You didn't deserve any better.
18:18But the man who killed you will not go unpunished.
18:40Mr. McCain, my name's Ben Perry.
18:43I'm looking for my father, Captain Perry.
18:45Well, he's not here.
18:46Now, what's this all about?
18:48I didn't come here to make trouble, Mr. McCain, but I would like to talk to you.
18:53All right, Mr. Perry.
18:55Step inside.
18:56Thank you.
18:57I just rode in tonight.
18:59I found out what happened today.
19:01You came all the way out here to tell me that?
19:04I went to the jail to see my father, but the Marshal had just let him go.
19:08I'm afraid he's headed here.
19:10Sit down, Mr. Perry.
19:11I don't think Micah would have released him if there was any harm still festering in him.
19:15I hope you're right, but I doubt it.
19:18I know my father.
19:20Well, I'm obliged, you thought, to warn me.
19:24It wasn't only for you, Mr. McCain.
19:27I'd like to prevent anything from happening to my father.
19:31Well, he's not an easy man.
19:33I know.
19:35And I feel somewhat responsible for it.
19:38I should have stopped him from coming to North Fork.
19:41Sometimes stopping a man bent on something the way your father was is near impossible.
19:46But I had the chance to try, and I didn't take it.
19:49What finally decided you on coming out here?
19:52The realization that I was somewhat responsible for everything.
19:57My father's violence, his bitterness.
19:59Seems to me the death of your brother Lon was the cause of that.
20:02That was only part of it.
20:04You see, Mr. McCain, since I was very young, I had one ambition.
20:09One I was afraid to tell my father about.
20:12I wanted to be a minister.
20:14So I entered divinity school.
20:17You never told him?
20:18No.
20:20A few days ago, when my father came to St. Louis to take me with him,
20:23I wanted to tell him, but I knew how he'd take it.
20:26So I just said I couldn't go.
20:29I couldn't tell him the real reason was because the next morning I was being ordained.
20:35You're an ordained minister now?
20:41I took this off before riding into North Fork tonight.
20:45I was afraid to let him see it.
20:47I didn't want to hurt my father any more than I already had.
20:50What do you plan to do when you see him?
20:56Help him if I can.
21:00The day I put that collar on, I thought about the duties and responsibilities that went with it.
21:07I'm supposed to lead my flock.
21:10Help heal their souls.
21:12Ease their afflictions.
21:15I realized then that if I was ever to help anyone, I'd have to start with my father first.
21:19Reverend Perry, are you going to do it with the collar on or off?
21:31On, Mr. McCain.
21:39McCain!
21:41McCain!
21:44Mr. McCain, please.
21:46Without the rifle, there will only be bloodshed.
21:58Paul, what's the matter?
21:59You stay here, son.
22:01You stay right here.
22:10I came to see your name, McCain.
22:15Father, I've come to take you home with me.
22:16You're no son of mine.
22:19Father, look at me.
22:24This is why I couldn't go with you.
22:27This is what I wanted.
22:29Please try to understand.
22:32Out of my way!
22:34You ready, McCain?
22:36Go on home, Captain.
22:37I'm not going to help you push this grudge.
22:40The man's challenged.
22:41He fights, McCain.
22:42Prepare yourself.
22:43Paul!
22:44Stay where you are, son.
22:45Give him his rifle, boy.
22:47No, son.
22:48Don't force me to shoot an unarmed man, McCain.
22:52Paul, he leaves it!
23:06Your boy disobeyed you.
23:10Yes, he did, Captain.
23:13But out of love.
23:17The boy did it out of love, father.
23:20Can't you understand that?
23:32Benjamin, let's go home.
23:43Thank you, Mr. McCain, for everything.
23:45Good night.
23:49Good night.
23:55You'd better get back to bed, son.
23:58You know, Paul, I just realized something.
24:01What's that?
24:02This is one time that a son taught his pa a lesson.
24:06Oh, you mean the Reverend and Captain Perry?
24:08Well, that can happen sometimes, Mark.
24:10Oh, of course.
24:12I know between us who does all the teaching.
24:16You know something, son?
24:19I think we ought to get you a haircut tomorrow morning.
24:24Oh, Paul.
24:25But right now, good night.
24:27Good night.
