00:00:06The End
00:00:37The End
00:01:06The End
00:01:43We call this the High Lonesome Country
00:01:45Because, neighbor, it is high and it is lonesome.
00:01:50See that speck out there in the middle?
00:01:53That's the Horse Davis Ranch headquarters where we live.
00:01:57It took us years of work and war and trouble to get this cow range whipped,
00:02:01and we thought we had it done.
00:02:03Then one night a strange thing happened that we didn't know how to explain.
00:02:08We saw no harm in it then,
00:02:10but a long time afterward we knew the greatest danger of our lives came on us
00:02:15as this sun went down.
00:02:25The End
00:02:35THE END
00:03:09Nothing come this way or them quail would have flown before now.
00:03:12Must be lower down.
00:03:27THE END
00:03:50Give me my rifle.
00:03:51What's the matter?
00:03:53Something's faster than the horses.
00:03:55Oh, that ain't nothing but that coon cat fixing to raid my cook shack again.
00:03:59All right, we'll get us a coon cat.
00:04:13Awful lot of prowling around out there, it seems to me.
00:04:16Yeah, that boat whistle trying to out-guess that coon cat.
00:04:19You hear the old fool's shotgun in a minute.
00:04:20A coon cat wouldn't set foot in that kitchen.
00:04:23Coon cats are too clean.
00:04:25There it goes.
00:04:27Hey, that was Frank's .45.
00:04:29Oh, now, honestly, what a bunch of knotheads.
00:04:32We get worse around here every day.
00:04:33Better let the boys handle it, Abby.
00:04:35Fool them.
00:04:37What was your theory shooting out that window?
00:04:40What is your theory shooting that shatter?
00:04:42Thought I seen something.
00:04:43Me too.
00:04:47Hey, that darn coon cat's learned how to light a lamp.
00:04:58Hey, you'd better get your hands up.
00:05:02Well, I'm gonna.
00:05:03What you got, Dixie?
00:05:04Come on in.
00:05:06Watch out whose head you're shooting off, too.
00:05:12A fine coon cat.
00:05:14Who are you, Billy the Kid?
00:05:16Nobody you ever heard of.
00:05:18Stealing away to California, huh?
00:05:20I've been working in Martha.
00:05:21Who first, Sonny?
00:05:23Sawmill?
00:05:23No sawmill in Martha.
00:05:30Bandy, huh?
00:05:31I oughta...
00:05:31Hold it, Frank.
00:05:37What have we seen to have caught?
00:05:39We call it a coon cat.
00:05:41Oh, leave off, will you, fellas?
00:05:43Better come with me, coon cat.
00:05:45See how things look from the house.
00:05:51Come with us.
00:05:53Bring the lamp closer, Megan.
00:05:57This is healing all right.
00:05:58Is it bad?
00:05:59It's been bad.
00:06:00No wonder popping out of the ground that way.
00:06:03Must have come up under a rock.
00:06:04Teach him to look where he's popping.
00:06:06Smart, ain't ya?
00:06:09What's the matter with him?
00:06:10You know what I think?
00:06:12This boy's killed somebody.
00:06:13We'll find out who in the morning.
00:06:15I won't be around.
00:06:17Megan?
00:06:18Got one more hunk of that poor excuse for bread.
00:06:22Go look in the table drawer, Abby.
00:06:24Might need something from it.
00:06:26I think you're right.
00:06:29Give him the bread, Megan.
00:06:32Now go over by the door.
00:06:34Give a good pull on that bell room.
00:06:36Sit down.
00:06:42You can't hold me here.
00:06:43We can sure try.
00:06:46Draw back from it, son.
00:06:48Abby don't want to hurt you.
00:06:49Not on her clean floor.
00:06:54What's the matter?
00:06:56Where's those old handcuffs from the time I was deputy?
00:06:58Well, I saw them the other day around their summers.
00:07:00Well, dig them up and lock this critter to a bunk.
00:07:02Tomorrow's Sunday, but I'll back trail them right after Bible.
00:07:05We'll hang on to him.
00:07:06Come on, you.
00:07:06Come on, the man set.
00:07:08I heard him.
00:07:12Abby?
00:07:13Is that coffee still hot?
00:07:15Should be, Pa.
00:07:22Well, I've got them so they'll go on.
00:07:24I don't know whether they'll ever come over now.
00:07:25That's all right.
00:07:26They'll look good old.
00:07:27Hey, watch out for that lamb.
00:07:31Put them on it.
00:07:32I'm moving.
00:07:32Put them on it.
00:07:33Settle down, boy.
00:07:36And why take ye thought of raiment?
00:07:39Consider the lilies of the field...
00:07:41Hey, Abby!
00:07:41Where are you?
00:07:43Consider the lilies of the field how they grow.
00:07:46Hey!
00:07:48Consider how that fathead bellars.
00:07:50What's only Pat Farrell?
00:07:51That's what I say.
00:07:52Avenue!
00:07:54Hey, Abby!
00:07:55I brought ya...
00:07:59Where's the body?
00:08:00Now, you know Pa always reads Bible on Sunday.
00:08:02Sunday?
00:08:03It is.
00:08:03Who can't stop now?
00:08:04Plate me, Abby.
00:08:05Be back for dinner.
00:08:06Come back here.
00:08:09Say, I had a horse thief the other night.
00:08:11Run him off before I got anything.
00:08:12Is that your horse thief?
00:08:16Him?
00:08:20Nah.
00:08:21He's a great big Indian, I think.
00:08:23Then shut up and sit down.
00:08:27It's so dark.
00:08:28I couldn't even see my gun size.
00:08:30Look at him.
00:08:31Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow.
00:08:33They toil not, neither do they spin.
00:08:36Yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory
00:08:40was not arrayed like one of these.
00:08:43Wherefore, if God so clothed the grass of the field,
00:08:46which today is...
00:08:48Don't you pray!
00:08:56You sure you don't know him, Pat?
00:08:58Why do you think your horse thief was an Indian if it was so dark?
00:09:05Hey.
00:09:07He's too narrow.
00:09:08He might look like a tall Indian.
00:09:10I was never near your ponies.
00:09:14No, you weren't.
00:09:17That's my liability he's got there.
00:09:19What'd you take that for?
00:09:21I'm to get me a horse the same way everything's taken from me.
00:09:24That's what I took it for.
00:09:25If he's so desperate to steal a horse,
00:09:27it's because he done something worse.
00:09:29Boat Whistle, fetch my team.
00:09:33Back trailing's gonna be rough if he's been through them rocks.
00:09:35I got a better idea.
00:09:37Hold this.
00:09:38I ain't gonna wait on you hand and foot.
00:09:40Did you ever see anything so dead set to go free?
00:09:43Just one steady patient series of wild jumps.
00:09:46He'll try it just once more.
00:09:48Hey.
00:09:49There goes your once.
00:09:50Sure.
00:09:51Why'd you think I'd give him the rope for?
00:10:02Hey, Dixie.
00:10:03Yeah?
00:10:04Frank's probably get kinda rough with that kid.
00:10:07I'll go see you, Potter.
00:10:08You better not lose any time.
00:10:34You ready to talk?
00:10:36I ain't ready for nothing.
00:10:38Yeah?
00:10:40I'll make you talk.
00:10:56How's that?
00:10:57Think it'll do you?
00:10:59No.
00:11:00I'll kill you, perhaps.
00:11:23Come on.
00:11:24Come on.
00:11:24Wake up.
00:11:24Let's get on with it.
00:11:27Sure, I know you're ready for more if there's no end to it.
00:11:29No.
00:11:31No.
00:11:31I give in.
00:11:32Well, it's about time.
00:11:34So this is your better idea, huh?
00:11:36Yes, and it works.
00:11:37Shut up and miss.
00:11:40You'll find it now, no matter what I do.
00:11:42Find what?
00:11:44There's a corpse at the wagon road.
00:11:47I killed Jim's shell.
00:11:49Where's the body?
00:11:50On the floor of the trading post.
00:11:54There you are.
00:11:54Come on.
00:12:21Come on, sir.
00:12:24Come on.
00:12:29It's funny how haunted and deathly that thing can look when you know it's inside.
00:12:33Where'd you bed down?
00:12:36Over there.
00:12:37Inside them old busted walls.
00:12:40Find the robbery there, huh?
00:12:41It was my own money.
00:12:43Yeah, what was Jim Shell doing with it?
00:12:45Well, this road has a bad name.
00:12:48Said he better keep it for me until morning.
00:12:50Good idea.
00:12:52No, sir.
00:12:53After a while, them two strangers moved in on me and ate up my grub.
00:12:57So I thought I'd better make a night march and get rid of them.
00:13:00But this traitor, this Jim Shell, he wouldn't give me my money back.
00:13:04He swore he never heard of no money.
00:13:06And the two strangers come stood in the door and heard it all.
00:13:08So you shot the traitor.
00:13:11Not right then.
00:13:12I come back out to my fire there on the ruin.
00:13:15Them strangers followed me.
00:13:18That foreign-talking one, he kept pawing through my stuff.
00:13:22And the other one, the one that kept smiling, he'd come and stood over me.
00:13:29Why don't you stick a gun in his belly?
00:13:31You got a right to your own.
00:13:33I got no gun.
00:13:34We loan you a gun.
00:13:36I wouldn't want to shoot him.
00:13:38Who said shoot him?
00:13:39You just go in, hold the gun on him, and say, I want my money.
00:13:43We'll back you up.
00:13:44Sure, we'll be there.
00:13:47Get that gun out of the pack, Roper.
00:13:49You know the one I mean.
00:13:52Hey, wait a minute.
00:13:53You want your money, don't you?
00:13:58It sounded like it ought to work.
00:14:00So I took the gun they gave me and went back inside the trading post.
00:14:06Jim Schell was over by the fireplace fixing a pack saddle.
00:14:15You again, huh?
00:14:17You got it?
00:14:17You know you got it.
00:14:19Them two road agents give you that.
00:14:23I got to have my money.
00:14:26Not men enough to try it themselves.
00:14:29Have to send a boy in the head, huh?
00:14:31Well, I got to have it.
00:14:34Are you sure that gun's loaded?
00:14:42Stay back here before I get it.
00:14:50I didn't know where I was at first when I come to.
00:14:56I thought I was blind.
00:14:59And pretty soon I could see.
00:15:06Then I remembered and I knew I'd killed him.
00:15:15I didn't know what them two strangers would want to do about it.
00:15:18I couldn't think.
00:15:21All I knew was I'd better run.
00:15:24It's a good thing I did run.
00:15:29I thought you said the kid was dead.
00:15:36Get to the horses.
00:15:41I kept going, but they tracked me a long way.
00:15:45That's where I got so hungry.
00:15:46I wonder why they'd do that.
00:15:48They'd be blamed, wouldn't they?
00:15:50Else they could show I done it.
00:15:51Those two strangers as guilty as the boy,
00:15:54they planned the robbery, used the boy because it was handy.
00:15:57They've got to be tracked down.
00:15:58I'll string a net across this range a flea couldn't get through.
00:16:01I'll rouse up every rancher for 90 miles around.
00:16:03We're probably a long way further off than 90 miles.
00:16:06That's what we've got to make sure of.
00:16:07Take a look at the ruin, Frank.
00:16:25Hey, wait a minute.
00:16:35Hey, come here, boy.
00:16:41You see him yet?
00:16:43Look for yourself.
00:16:48Dust, inches deep, everywhere.
00:16:55What there hap-
00:16:57Maybe there was a dust storm.
00:16:59Hasn't been any.
00:17:00The place has been deserted for months.
00:17:01I'll tell you something else.
00:17:03There hasn't been any fire inside of that ruin.
00:17:05No ashes, no tracks, nobody's been near it.
00:17:08I can't even show you a sharp stone in the fireplace right
00:17:11where I leaned and had to move.
00:17:14You know something?
00:17:16I think the boy believes it.
00:17:18Don't you know why?
00:17:19Why this kid's crazy?
00:17:21He's no more in his right mind than a hyperphobic skunk.
00:17:24Yeah, makes it tough to know what to do with him.
00:17:27Do you believe I'm out of my mind?
00:17:30I don't know.
00:17:32Look, I could saw him off on the sheriff of Marfa.
00:17:35No, not till I know what he's done.
00:17:38All right, look, I'll give him a horse, some kind of a horse.
00:17:41We'll give him a head start and run the heck out of him.
00:17:43No, I'm not going to do that either.
00:17:45Why?
00:17:46Because we need him to find out to get the bottom of this thing.
00:17:49Well, you can't just keep him around.
00:17:51Who can't?
00:17:51You can't.
00:17:52Were the girls there?
00:17:53Well, I got something to say about that.
00:17:55I don't think you have.
00:17:57Why, you, you cantankerous old mosshorn.
00:18:01You can't tell what a kid like this is liable to do.
00:18:08Hey, did you find it?
00:18:10Find what?
00:18:10That there dead fella that was killed.
00:18:12Ain't any.
00:18:13Trading post been locked up for months.
00:18:15Why would the boy say he killed somebody if he had...
00:18:16Now, how should I know?
00:18:18You'll have a chance to find out, though.
00:18:19Your old man's taking him in to live with you.
00:18:21Oh, he must be fooling.
00:18:22Well, he ain't.
00:18:23I hollered again it, but he sunk his teeth into me.
00:18:26We went round and round.
00:18:27Oh, Pat, if you've been fighting with Pa again, I...
00:18:32Well, did you find out anything?
00:18:34Did you talk to anybody?
00:18:34Did you find out nothing about nothing?
00:18:41Now, look, Abby, that kid's dangerous.
00:18:44Anything is with his brains knocked out.
00:18:46Yet that old fool insists...
00:18:48How dare you keep calling him that?
00:18:50Because I'm the only one to take care of you.
00:18:52Look at your men, folks.
00:18:54Two old cripples and a couple of saddle tramps.
00:19:01We still got guns.
00:19:03Who to shoot them?
00:19:05Pat, dear.
00:19:06See that nail holding that dishpan?
00:19:13Maybe that answers your question.
00:19:18Why, you...
00:19:27Well?
00:19:29Oh, I can't hit you, honey.
00:19:31Oh, I can hit you.
00:19:32That's the trouble.
00:19:33No time to leave go.
00:19:36All right.
00:19:37I'll leave go if you will.
00:19:44Pa said all along you were nothing but a loud yell with hands.
00:19:47Then you want me to call off the barn woman?
00:19:49Well, you want your barn warm, don't you?
00:19:51Well, I didn't put on a new roof.
00:19:52Just a set and admire by myself.
00:19:53Oh, I'm going through with it.
00:19:55And so are you.
00:19:57Now ask me who we've got to handle a shotgun.
00:20:02Come on, honey.
00:20:04I want to show you something.
00:20:08Red and butter.
00:20:09Red and butter.
00:20:10Red and butter.
00:20:10Well, I see we're still going to the party.
00:20:19See Big Jim here?
00:20:20I've been a big Jim in our family for a long time.
00:20:24My grandpappy rode in Kentucky on the first big Jim.
00:20:26Yes, you told me 20 times.
00:20:29This horse here is the only living stud of the Big Jim line.
00:20:33If he should stumble, I'd go lame.
00:20:35Hasn't been hit on the head lately, has he?
00:20:55Pat, you're leaving your horse.
00:20:57That ain't my horse.
00:20:59What?
00:21:00I know it sounds ridiculous.
00:21:02After a marriage, it won't matter who's he being.
00:21:05I just wanted you to have the one finest thing in the world.
00:21:08Well, that there's the finest.
00:21:10I guess every man thinks his horse is the best.
00:21:13They're probably right.
00:21:15That's the best horse right there.
00:21:26Did you ride your mother?
00:21:27Sure did.
00:21:30Well, I'm going to keep him here for a while.
00:21:32Boy, you're going to do odd jobs around the place, on foot.
00:21:36Keep off the ponies.
00:21:37I'll let you have the run of the place, for now.
00:21:39He's been dragged.
00:21:41Yes, and he'll be dragged again every time he breaks.
00:21:43You go help your sister.
00:21:44I never heard such a lie.
00:21:46This creepy kid.
00:21:47You don't know half how creepy he is.
00:21:50Boat Whistle, I want you to hear something.
00:21:52Boy, tell him what those two men look like you saw at the wagon road.
00:21:55Give him the smiling man.
00:21:58Well, he was, he was sort of black looking.
00:22:05And guarded.
00:22:08And he had a cast in his eyes, so you couldn't tell which eye was pointing where.
00:22:13He had a smile on his face like he was seeing you dead.
00:22:17Sort of a sliding smile.
00:22:21Great land of fury.
00:22:23Now give him the other, the one the smiling man called Roper.
00:22:26Well, Roper?
00:22:29Well, he was sort of short and thick-set and a foreign way of talking.
00:22:39Well, sir, in all my life, I ain't never heard nothing like that.
00:22:42You recognize him?
00:22:43Why, how could he be mistook?
00:22:46That sliding smile.
00:22:48He's got them both perfect.
00:22:50Now we're getting someplace.
00:22:51No, he never saw them at the wagon road or any other place on this earth.
00:22:54Well, why didn't he see them?
00:22:56Tell him, Boat Whistle.
00:22:58Because both them men are dead.
00:23:01They died fighting horse and me at the fence more than 15 years ago.
00:23:30I keep thinking I see something.

00:32:38You ready?
00:32:39Yes.
00:32:41Oh, Whistle, you didn't shave.
00:32:42I did so shave.
00:32:44Feel your face.
00:32:45I won't do it.
00:32:46Not I shave.
00:32:49Oh, great land of fury.
00:32:51Get up out of here.
00:33:14Oh, great land of fury.
00:33:16Get up out of here.
00:33:18You see them old stone walls over there?
00:33:21You see them old stone walls over there?
00:33:21Listen, sonny.
00:33:22I've been on this range for 20 years.
00:33:24And if there's something following us, I'd note it.
00:33:27Then you know it.
00:33:29Those are the walls of our first house.
00:33:31The one that was burned during the Fence War.
00:33:34Used to be a row of hollyhocks around there.
00:33:39Oh, I see them little specks of dust.
00:33:41That ain't nothing but range horses.
00:33:44Sure.
00:33:45Range horses.
00:33:46Running loose with people on them.
00:33:48I got something I want to show you up the road of peace.
00:33:50You'll be interested.
00:33:51Get on there.
00:33:52Hit.
00:34:02This is the line of the famous death fence like you know all about.
00:34:06I know what I heard from you.
00:34:08And a whole lot more.
00:34:09In a minute, I'm going to prove that you do.
00:34:12But maybe there's one thing that you don't know.
00:34:15You see all them bones here?
00:34:17Yes, sir.
00:34:19That's what's left of a great herd.
00:34:21Horse Davis's herd.
00:34:23You know how them cattle died?
00:34:26No.
00:34:27Well, every few years, we get a blizzard from the North
00:34:30that drives our cattle before it.
00:34:32They always took shelter up in them canyons ahead
00:34:35until our feud with the Jessup family begun.
00:34:38Nobody knows how it started.
00:34:40Oh, some little thing.
00:34:42But one thing led to another
00:34:44and Miles Jessup built this fence here.
00:34:47That year, the blizzard come.
00:34:50And our cattle piled up on this fence
00:34:52a hundred deep as far as the eye could see.
00:34:54Them that didn't die where you see them now
00:34:56had their hoofs froze off.
00:34:58They walked around on the stumps till they fell down.
00:35:01I've heard this story a hundred times.
00:35:03So now you know what your Miles Jessup done
00:35:05that we had to fight him
00:35:06and the fight was never finished
00:35:07while there was a Jessup left
00:35:09and Miles Jessup hung dying on his own fence.
00:35:12Right over there by that post.
00:35:15Hey, look up there!
00:35:24Won't look, will ya?
00:35:26No, I won't look.
00:35:27I'm getting sick and tired of you hollering,
00:35:29look, too.
00:35:30Oh, it was that you got to.
00:35:31They're there!
00:35:38Oh.
00:35:40You too now, huh?
00:35:44Yeah.
00:35:45It's funny.
00:35:46But it's a mean kind of funny if you're in my place.
00:35:49Anyway, coon cat.
00:35:53Now, do you see what I'm up against?
00:35:56I do see.
00:36:01You're awful anxious to change the subject, ain't you?
00:36:03Caught you knowing a little bit too much, didn't you?
00:36:05Get the whole thing away.
00:36:12Give what away?
00:36:13Miles Jessup had died right here.
00:36:15You described him to me to the last hair
00:36:17when you spoke of the Smilin' Man.
00:36:19The Smilin' Man and Miles Jessup are one and the same.
00:36:24I only told you who I saw.
00:36:26And the Roper.
00:36:28That was the nickname of a Cajun fella.
00:36:31Thick set foreign talking man, just like you said.
00:36:33Boat whistle shot him in the throat.
00:36:35Pa said he bled like a flash flood.
00:36:38His brother came over and grabbed him up in his arms,
00:36:40trying to close his throat with his hands until he died.
00:36:43Right over there by that mesquite.
00:36:46And them's the men you say you remember?
00:36:48Sonny, they was dead when you were two years old.
00:36:51I said I saw him because I did.
00:36:54Am I supposed to think that dead men walked?
00:36:56No, dead men don't walk.
00:36:58You were speaking of men you heard tell of so much
00:37:01that you even knew their faces and the way they talked.
00:37:04Now what I want to know is, who drilled that into you?
00:37:08Nobody did.
00:37:08I saw him.
00:37:09I saw him more than once.
00:37:11Great land of fury.
00:37:14I give up.
00:37:15Come on, get in the buckboard.
00:37:17We're going to the party.
00:37:21You can't be in.
00:37:22Your mothers are looking for you.
00:37:32You know something, Horne?
00:37:34Yes, boy.
00:37:35There's people here tonight from all over the world in Port Arkansas.
00:37:39I see you.
00:37:41What do you have, a car?
00:37:44Yes.
00:37:47Hey, Abby.
00:37:48Yes?
00:37:49You all right?
00:38:00Abby, come on.
00:38:01I'm coming.
00:38:04Where's Abby?
00:38:04She go to sleep in the...
00:38:08Well, who's this?
00:38:09Now, you've seen me in a skirt before?
00:38:13Well, I guess I can get used to it.
00:38:18Oh, Pat, I get so tired trying to be a man.
00:38:21Oh, that's all over with.
00:38:22From now on, you're going to win.
00:38:23They dress us every day.
00:38:24And I love it.
00:38:33Pat, where are your father and mother?
00:38:34I haven't seen them.
00:38:35Well, they ain't here yet.
00:38:37Then you didn't send them word.
00:38:38Oh, sure I did.
00:38:39You gave them the wrong day.
00:38:41I even sent Art Sims this morning to fetch them.
00:38:42Don't forget it's a half day's ride by the wagon road.
00:38:44It seems awfully funny.
00:38:46Oh, come on.
00:38:47They'll be here.
00:38:47Let's have some fun.
00:38:52Hey, come on, everybody.

00:39:27That's what I said.
00:39:34Oh, join in the circle of eight.

00:40:04The only sense is I want you to.
00:40:06I don't know how.
00:40:07Annie over there can only count up to three.
00:40:09And if she can do it, I guess you can.
00:40:12Come on.

00:40:57I don't know what you mean.
00:40:58All right, but I'll tell you something else.
00:41:01Forward again.
00:41:01Those were the first flowers we ever got in all our lives.
00:41:05Turn your back to spit on the wall and swing the opposite across the hall.
00:41:10First and third, forward and back.
00:41:16Forward again and circle forward.
00:41:17Two little ladies.
00:41:18Do-so-do.
00:41:19A little bit of heel and a little bit of toe.
00:41:22Now take your honey and the home you go.

00:41:35Oh, come on, come on.
00:41:36Well, I'll tell you something.

00:41:50So get along, get along, old Baldy.

00:42:04And I'm 20 miles from Carson in the rain.
00:42:08Now, Jack, don't go back to Carson.
00:42:12I'm afraid you've lost your play.
00:42:1720 cowboys from the south.
00:42:18See?
00:42:18Isn't it nice just to be people?
00:42:20I never knew no people like you before.

00:42:25So get along, get along, old Baldy.
00:42:29Turn around there.
00:42:30Take me over the funeral rain.
00:42:34Cause a poor cowfolk's heart is breaking.
00:42:3820 miles from Carson in the rain.
00:42:42Now, Jack, don't go back to Carson.
00:42:46That gal I'll never keep that day.
00:42:51There's a million men in all
00:42:53Passed through Carson since the fall.
00:42:55I'd say you got back too late.
00:42:59So get along, get along, old Baldy.
00:43:03Turn around there.
00:43:04In the house, I guess.
00:43:05Wait in here.
00:43:06Coomcat, where are you going?
00:43:08Stay in the light no matter what.
00:43:09Now, folks, heart is breaking.
00:43:1320 miles from Carson in the rain.
00:43:23All right.
00:43:24I'll tell you what I'm going to want.
00:43:26You won't go back to that dance floor.
00:43:28I'm going to have a heap of food.
00:43:41Now, all come in here.
00:43:42We're gone again.
00:43:43Breaking trail, single file.
00:43:45Ladies are leaving the entrance down.
00:43:46Now, turn right back and swing them awhile.
00:43:50Form a ring of red, big grain.
00:43:52Now, all go forward.

00:45:04Go on, Cat.
00:45:04Dad?
00:45:06Megan, go back!
00:45:13The girl screamed her head off.
00:45:15Not long.
00:45:16Wait a minute.
00:45:19Right over there.
00:45:21Look past my shoulder by that farm wagon.
00:45:23You see him now?
00:45:25No.
00:45:32Those spooks really get around, don't they?
00:45:34I was looking for your pa to tell him they was here.
00:45:37Oh, Coon Cat, what are we going to do with you?
00:45:40With me?
00:45:41Well, you people can't even take care of yourselves.
00:45:43Those fellows in after me. I'm only in their way.
00:45:45Then why are you running?
00:45:47I can't help you people because you won't believe me.
00:45:50And I ain't staying around to get blamed.
00:45:52You leave that be.
00:45:53You're not fit to go running around loose.
00:45:55You'll get yourself hurt beating this way.
00:45:57That's my business.
00:45:58And I'm making it mine.
00:45:59Now get yourself on inside unless you want 20 ropers on your heels.
00:46:03Come on, I said.
00:46:07Hey!
00:46:08Where's Frank Bell?
00:46:15You, what have you asked her?
00:46:16Well, I don't know, Rudolph.
00:46:18He come riding in here a while ago just as fast as he could.
00:46:20We just got a while in here.
00:46:22What's all the secret about him?
00:46:25Uh-huh, somebody found out something.
00:46:28What's that to us?
00:46:29I'll find out.
00:46:30Wait at the horses.
00:46:36Where was my mom?
00:46:39Found her in the kitchen.
00:46:40Like as if she was at the stove when it come.
00:46:43Your father was out in the crowd.
00:46:44Looked like he got it as he rode in.
00:46:46How long they've been dead?
00:46:47Maybe a week.
00:47:00Pat, dear, I'm so sorry.
00:47:04So now we know what it was the boy done.
00:47:06But those sweet old people.
00:47:15You want Megan?
00:47:17Let her come in.
00:47:30When was you over on the Warpaint River?
00:47:34I was never on the Warpaint River.
00:47:36It's a dry creek near the wagon road.
00:47:38Don't you remember a shack and a few sheds?
00:47:40Just a half a day's travel to the east?
00:47:44I must have passed a dozen places like that.
00:47:46That's enough.
00:47:46The boy has the right to speak.
00:47:51All right, I want you to tell the people to go home.
00:47:54All right.
00:47:55Pass the words quite as you can.
00:47:59I want you girls to go home too.
00:48:02I think you better take them.
00:48:03What are you going to do?
00:48:05I'm going to hang him.
00:48:09I can't let you do it, Pat.
00:48:12What?
00:48:12First I need to know how this boy can describe two men he never saw.
00:48:17But they was here tonight.
00:48:20We was face to face.
00:48:21You can tell them.
00:48:23You saw him.
00:48:25You had to see him.
00:48:27He told me he saw him.
00:48:35My pa took a bullet through his lung standing by you.
00:48:38Have you forgotten that?
00:48:39He was the only man outside of your hired hands who stood with you at the death fence.
00:48:43Yeah, that's true.
00:48:44But the fact still stands that we know nothing whatever about this boy.
00:48:48He was so afraid to show his face he risked your guns rather than ask for grub.
00:48:52Frantic for a horse.
00:48:53Frantic to get out of the country.
00:48:55I know that.
00:48:56Remember what you said.
00:48:58There's been a crime.
00:48:59A bad one.
00:49:00We got to find out who it was.
00:49:01I said that.
00:49:03You caught him a week ago tonight.
00:49:05It was a week ago my folks was killed.
00:49:08Not a half days right away.
00:49:10We found out everything you've been asking and you know it.
00:49:13I don't even know the boy was there.
00:49:15You never will if you hold out for an eyewitness.
00:49:20Two people saw him and they're dead.
00:49:24A horse.
00:49:28The coon cat was there.
00:49:32I never thought for a minute that that boy had done one thing that was wrong.
00:49:36But it was me that fixed his boots.
00:49:42Where did you get those boots?
00:49:45Where did you give them to me?
00:49:46Pull them off.
00:49:53It's the dryer gap.
00:49:55My pa's brand.
00:49:57And it was him giving them to me.
00:50:00Sonny, what did you pull the stitches out for?
00:50:02Oh, I knew people say I stole them.
00:50:04I've been wearing castoffs.
00:50:12Are you satisfied?
00:50:13I am not.
00:50:14And I won't be until I know a lot more than I know now.
00:50:17All I've got to know is who killed my ma and pa.
00:50:19And I know.
00:50:20Well, I don't.
00:50:22Mr. Davis.
00:50:24I swear to you he'll never leave this place.
00:50:26Well, if I do.
00:50:27Pat, he's right.
00:50:31Are you standing with him or with me?
00:50:34I'm standing with myself.
00:50:40If you leave with that insane killer,
00:50:42not one of you nor any critter of your brand will ever set foot on this place again.
00:50:46Oh, Pat, I don't believe you.
00:50:48And you can have the fence back.
00:50:49Right where it was.
00:50:50And quick!
00:50:52Walk out that door.
00:50:57Abby, get in the buggy.
00:51:00We'll lead your horse.
00:51:09I have no horse.
00:51:22Come on, get that wagon up here!
00:51:26Come on!
00:51:29Get this horse in here!
00:51:35I'm going up my head!
00:51:36Keep an eye out for the travel!
00:51:40Pat, Pat.
00:51:43I never believed he'd do it.
00:51:46I believed it.
00:51:48It's going to be the same terrible thing all over again.
00:51:51No.
00:51:52You know why?
00:51:54That gully over there is where Tommy died.
00:51:5711 years old.
00:52:00I told him to stay home, of course, but...
00:52:03he fell.
00:52:04There, with his killed phony.
00:52:07I know.
00:52:09We won our fight.
00:52:12It didn't matter anymore.
00:52:15I'll never go to the guns again.
00:52:35Well, I can be a Marfa by midnight.
00:52:37I'll telegraph from there...
00:52:38and get the buyers from Wichita...
00:52:39and Eldworth from Kansas City.
00:52:41They've got to meet my drive in Dodge.
00:52:42Meet what in Dodge?
00:52:43Every cow we got that can walk them, selling off the cattle.
00:52:46Oh, you old fool.
00:52:47You ain't going to get through in the teeth of winter.
00:52:48I'll lose every credit I got if I hold them here.
00:52:50And you'll get to Dodge, all right, with about one cow left...
00:52:53and she'll be a skull on a stick.
00:52:54The rest of the herds are as good as this one.
00:52:56We'll get through.
00:52:57Oh, Pa, you're throwing away everything we got in the world...
00:52:59for a wretched boy who doesn't even want it.
00:53:01No, I'm not doing it for the boy.
00:53:02Either a thing is right or it's wrong.
00:53:04There's no half way.
00:53:05Pa, why don't you take Megan to Marfa with you?
00:53:07You ready in seven seconds?
00:53:08I sure can.
00:53:09All right, I'll send down 12, 14 trailhands.
00:53:11As fast as I can find them and you can start them rounding up.
00:53:14Oh, this is going to be the end of this brand.
00:53:16You know that, don't you?
00:53:17I want every critter I own bunched and ready to start when I get back.
00:53:21If only Tommy was alive, that's when they broke this outfit's back,
00:53:24when they killed that little kid.
00:53:26Pa didn't say we were beat.
00:53:27No, he didn't say it, but I know as well as I know anything in the world.
00:53:30That fence would come out whistling if your brother was alive today.
00:53:33But he ain't.
00:53:35Now get going.
00:53:36Get up out of here!
00:53:37Get out of here!
00:53:48I don't know.
00:53:49Mr. Davis sent us in for Marfa.
00:53:50Put your stuff in the bunkhouse and grab a snack.
00:53:57Do you know what your pappy would say to this?
00:53:59He'd say it's too bad she's here instead of Tommy.
00:54:02Now lead out the wagon.
00:54:03You know something?
00:54:04I ain't about to.
00:54:06I'll go if you'll let me.
00:54:07I can cook all right.
00:54:08And stay here with this loony kid.
00:54:11Take that carbon off my saddle.
00:54:13You think I'm Calamity Jane?
00:54:14Well now, it seems like that you think that you are.
00:54:17Abby, Pat Farrell's brought on just as many cowboys as we got here.
00:54:21Only his is ruffs and longhorns.
00:54:23They ain't like these cowpokes.
00:54:24You're on the chuck wagon, Dixie.
00:54:26Don't you do it, Dixie.
00:54:27You oughta know who's ramrodding this outfit by now.
00:54:29He knows.
00:54:30Yeah.
00:54:31Roll out the team, Dixie.
00:54:33Abby, Abby, honey, won't you just listen to me?
00:54:37Come on, boys, let's go.
00:54:39Abby, you don't know what you're doing.
00:54:41We're going to tear down that fence.
00:54:44Great land of fury.
00:54:57Burn them all, boys.
00:54:58I don't want a post left standing.
00:54:59What are you doing, Abby?
00:55:01I don't want a post over here.
00:55:03I don't want a post over here.
00:55:06That's the best gunfire.
00:55:37Sure don't like this smoke we're making.
00:55:39It's bound to be seen.
00:55:40No.
00:55:44I'm afraid it has been seen.
00:55:47Right above that knot, Kurt.
00:55:48Yes, I see them.
00:55:51Holy cow!
00:56:02We're going down there.
00:56:04Don't shoot till they do.
00:56:10Well, we'll have to pull out.
00:56:11We can't do any more here.
00:56:13They can't hear that.
00:56:15Well, fire a shot, quick.
00:56:16Ain't you afraid they'll think...
00:56:17Give me that.
00:56:46Oh, those fools!
00:56:48Take this!
00:57:03Stop firing!
00:57:04Hold it, Pat!
00:57:05Hold the fire!
00:57:11It's Abby!
00:57:15Abby, Abby!
00:57:18Abby!
00:57:24I hate empty saddles.
00:57:26It's the old fence war all over again.
00:57:28Hey, look!
00:57:31The cab is pulled.
00:57:40Ain't no blood in no place.
00:57:43Here, here's some.
00:57:45I can't stay here no more.
00:57:47Go in the bunkhouse and fetch me out that box of cottages.
00:57:50We're going out there.
00:58:00Let him go.
00:58:06What did you let him go for?
00:58:08I learned one great thing at that barn party.
00:58:11That kid's my lucky charm.
00:58:13I'm not so sure.
00:58:14They blame him for everything.
00:58:16They don't even believe their own eyes when he tells them what they see.
00:58:20I'll be sorry when they hang him.
00:58:21I don't like him.
00:58:23I don't like him.
00:58:23He'll bring Boat Whistle now.
00:58:25Go to the horses.
00:58:26Have them ready when you hear my gun.
00:58:35Where's them cottages?
00:58:36Go get them cottages.
00:58:37Go on!
00:58:38Just tell me one thing.
00:58:39Couldn't Miles Jusser be alive?
00:58:41How could he be alive?
00:58:42Maybe he only wounded.
00:58:43He was buried by our own boys.
00:58:45Well, maybe you're buried the wrong one.
00:58:47Or maybe he come to and bust himself out of the ground.
00:58:50Great land of fury.
00:58:51I'll go get them cottages myself.
00:58:56I'm telling you, please don't go in there!
00:59:07Please, Boat Whistle, please don't go in there!
00:59:10Oh, Sonny, no wonder folks are saying you're crazy.
00:59:15Hello, Boat Whistle.
00:59:19Miles.
00:59:20I haven't forgotten, I see.
00:59:24Miles Jessup.
00:59:25What's the matter, Boat Whistle?
00:59:26Didn't you never expect to see a Jessup again?
00:59:31Not this side of the grave.
00:59:33I remember what fun you had putting us there.
00:59:36No, Miles, it was always...
01:00:04No, I can't.
01:00:07No, it was always...
01:00:14No, no, no, no, no.
01:00:14No, no, no, no!
01:00:15Good night.
01:00:16No, no, no, no, no, no!
01:00:52Oh, my God.
01:00:55Not now.
01:00:56Fat tried to stop the firing when he saw you.
01:00:58He was going to do it when his horse was killed.
01:01:00The stud horse?
01:01:01Yeah.
01:01:02You could hear the horse scream for a mile.
01:01:04Fat had to put a bullet in his head.
01:01:06Big Jim.
01:01:10I want all hands saddled at half past four.
01:01:12Can you throw him breakfast a quarter of?
01:01:14I don't know nothing about bread, Mr. Davis.
01:01:16Give him hardtack.
01:01:17By daylight, I want the wagon road closed both ways.
01:01:20And the man and Marfa, and all trails stopped off.
01:01:23That way, I'll have a chance to head off that boy.
01:01:26Yes, sir.
01:01:33Swelling?
01:01:35Beats quite a bit.
01:01:38It's all my fault.
01:01:39Boat Whistle lies dead out there because I couldn't see what was plain and clear.
01:01:43What's plain and clear?
01:01:44That boy's a Jessup.
01:01:45There's no doubt in the world.
01:01:47I don't believe it.
01:01:48Who was killed first?
01:01:49The Farrells.
01:01:50Boat Whistle.
01:01:51Both with me all through the trouble.
01:01:53But that doesn't explain it.
01:01:54That boy has even memorized a face.
01:01:57Tries to make us think we were haunted.
01:01:59There's your giveaway.
01:02:00Coon Cat wasn't even armed.
01:02:03Where's the house gone?
01:02:16Now go to your room.
01:02:17I have all the contention I can stomach without a lot of sass spread on it.
01:02:35Someone has to go to Pat Farrell.
01:02:38He's got to be told I was wrong.
01:02:40Afraid to tell him yourself?
01:02:44This break between you and Pat was all my fault.
01:02:47And the fence fight and all.
01:02:49I'll stand by what I did.
01:02:51Abby.
01:02:52There's no more reason for fighting now.
01:02:55Men don't fight about a reason.
01:02:57They fight about they got in the fight.
01:03:01Pat won't.
01:03:07Thanks, Pa.
01:03:16Make him quiet.
01:03:18Come here.
01:03:19There's a smiley man who killed Boat Whistle.
01:03:21Right before my eyes.
01:03:22Oh, Coon Cat, I believe you.
01:03:24But nobody else will.
01:03:25If only you hadn't come back here.
01:03:28Oh, it's never any different.
01:03:30But I had to tell you.
01:03:32Oh, you hadn't told that whopper about the wagon road.
01:03:35Oh, I wished a million times I'd never spoke.
01:03:37He even took Pa out there and swore he'd find a body.
01:03:41Yeah, I know now why it wasn't there.
01:03:43You still claim there was one?
01:03:45That's what I came back to tell you.
01:03:47There's no other hope of waking you people up.
01:03:49You talking to somebody in there, Megan?
01:03:52I'm making a star count.
01:03:56792, 793, 7...
01:03:57Well, count the 50s like cattle.
01:03:59Get to bed.
01:04:00All right.
01:04:02Quick, tell me.
01:04:03I'm strangers.
01:04:04The smiling man on the ropers.
01:04:05They hid the body.
01:04:07They shoveled dust in there and brushed out their tracks.
01:04:09Why would they do that if you killed him?
01:04:11Oh, I've never done it, Megan.
01:04:12I know that now.
01:04:14They fired across me after I was knocked out.
01:04:16That's why they covered it up.
01:04:17Men like that wouldn't bother.
01:04:19They'd just ride on in a hurry.
01:04:21They'd bother because they weren't ready to ride on.
01:04:24They came here to do something.
01:04:25And they covered it up so they could stay and get it done.
01:04:28Oh, if we could only prove it.
01:04:30A corpse will prove it.
01:04:32Even if everything's like you say, we couldn't find the body.
01:04:35They could have buried him anyplace than a hundred miles.
01:04:38Or they could have buried him right there.
01:04:41Maybe he's been there all this time.
01:04:46I've got to go there and bust in.
01:04:47I figure I only got until morning.
01:04:49A lot better bet for you is just to ride until your horse drops.
01:04:53Well, if I don't find anything, then I will go on.
01:04:55I've got to stop and try this one more thing.
01:04:57I'm coming with you.
01:04:58Oh, no, you're not.
01:04:59I only told you so you'd know what to expect.
01:05:01Coon cat!
01:05:02I don't know.
01:05:03Let's go.
01:05:35You've got to go back. Your father will follow you.
01:05:37He'll follow me anyway. I left a message telling him where we went.
01:05:39Oh, great guns, Megan. What did you do that for? I'll let her up trying to find anything now.
01:05:43Of course you will if we get started.
01:05:45Ain't there no way to get rid of you?
01:05:46No. Can't you see you'll need me when he gets here? I'll help you all I can. Come on.
01:05:51No, sir. You ain't going.
01:05:52Oh, yes, I am.
01:05:54Oh, no, you ain't.
01:05:54You want a bat?
01:05:55Yeah, anything. Your lad go on, and that's fine.
01:06:01Throw me the end of your row.
01:06:03Here.
01:06:07Keep your eyes peeled now.
01:06:16Nothing pull?
01:06:18Of course he will.
01:06:23All right, take it away.
01:06:48Coon Cat?
01:06:52Are you all right?
01:07:03What are you doing?
01:07:05On the lamp.
01:07:18All this dust, how would they get it spread all over?
01:07:21How do I know?
01:07:22Maybe they threw it in with a shovel.
01:07:25It does look kind of funny.
01:07:28There's rocks in it.
01:07:35Here's where it lay.
01:07:39See, that dark stain, that's his blood.
01:07:41Then it is all true.
01:07:42Of course it's true.
01:07:44Got to find him.
01:07:45I've got to.
01:07:46If I have to tear down this whole place.
01:07:52Coon Cat, hush a minute.
01:07:55I thought I heard horses.
01:07:58Guess I didn't, though.
01:08:00It's awful quiet.
01:08:06It's almost morning.
01:08:08I can see a little streak of mustard in the east.
01:08:11It's what those brush wolves are singing at.
01:08:18Oh, there's no use going on.
01:08:19There's nothing here.
01:08:21But won't the blood stain prove it?
01:08:22Oh, they'd say he spilled some.
01:08:28Well, what are we going to do?
01:08:38I guess I've got to run.
01:08:41I was hoping too hard, I guess.
01:08:44I was sure it was here, but it ain't.
01:08:46No, it ain't here.
01:08:48It's in the canyon under a ton of cave-down dirt.
01:08:51Someday a flash flood will wash up a skull
01:08:53about 20 miles downstream.
01:08:56But not soon.
01:08:57Come on, Megan!
01:09:10Stick close to me.
01:09:11They'll be right on us.
01:09:15They got into the brush.
01:09:16Get after them.
01:09:53You hurt?
01:09:54It's all right.
01:09:59Smiler man's got our horses.
01:10:01Where are they now?
01:10:03Look inside the ruins.
01:10:04We'll get in there as soon as he's gone.
01:10:05Why?
01:10:06It's the only safe place.
01:10:07He's looked in there already.
01:10:13We can start now.
01:10:25I wish Pa'd come.
01:10:28They're sure to find us.
01:10:30No, they won't.
01:10:33We're going to be here forever?
01:10:39It may be quite a while.
01:10:41May as well just figure we live here, I guess.
01:10:44It wouldn't be so bad.
01:10:46What wouldn't?
01:10:48Living here.
01:10:49I could fix it up real pretty.
01:10:52It had walls, floor.
01:10:54No job to fix that.
01:10:55I could do it with my own hands.
01:10:57Glass in the windows?
01:10:58Sure.
01:10:59I know how to do things like that.
01:11:01I know how to cook and make rugs and everything.
01:11:04I don't want to think about it.
01:11:06Why?
01:11:09Nothing good can happen.
01:11:10I'm a murderer, everybody thinks.
01:11:12I don't.
01:11:15I know.
01:11:17And I just keep thinking if only things would come different.
01:11:20But they are different.
01:11:21They stood right there and said he did it.
01:11:23He killed Jim Shell and you're in the clear.
01:11:30They're back.
01:11:32Smiling man, anyway.
01:11:33I thought I heard wheel.
01:11:35Don't hear him now.
01:11:37There's a roper.
01:11:40Where are you going?
01:11:41Look inside.
01:11:42Keep back against the wall.
01:11:44I was in there.
01:11:45Come on.
01:11:52Coach Davis, come all right.
01:11:53He's only a little way up.
01:11:54How long?
01:11:55Two men with him.
01:11:55Pat Farrell's coming up.
01:11:57Take the horses around behind.
01:12:02Everything's going to be all right.
01:12:04Yeah, everything's going to be all right.
01:12:10There they are.
01:12:16Come here.
01:12:27Hold your fire.
01:12:28Let them come, you fool.
01:12:30Easy shot.
01:12:31I've waited for this many years.
01:12:33If you shoot before I tell you, I'll kill you in the same half second.
01:12:41Hey, I got your word.
01:12:45I said no word for you to come here.
01:12:48Abby, thought you might need me.
01:12:49Well, I don't.
01:12:53Them killers will hold their fire and hold nobody can miss.
01:12:56You gotta let him know.
01:12:57That's no good.
01:12:59Pa would think you were signaling.
01:13:00Well, if I put it close enough to his ear.
01:13:08That shot came from the roads.
01:13:10Nah, the echo fools you.
01:13:12From the ridge.
01:13:13When he's tired of that, he'll come on again.
01:13:17Dixie, Frank, throw a couple of shots down there to hold his interest.
01:13:20I'm going around the long way for the canyon.
01:13:54Oh, they just lie up there and plunk bullets in them old adobe walls.
01:13:58Do you think they've sent for more?
01:13:59Megan, look!
01:14:07He thinks I'm in there.
01:14:10With only this one gun.
01:14:12Maybe even thinks I won't kill him.
01:14:14No.
01:14:15They've got to warn him.
01:14:18He'll answer and they'll kill him.
01:14:20It'll happen any second.
01:14:23I've got to go out there.
01:14:25At least make him know.
01:14:27Kunkat!
01:14:28Stay back!
01:14:42That's Kunkat.
01:14:43He ain't inside.
01:14:44There's another gunman in there.
01:14:46Keep shooting.
01:14:46That's all he can do.
01:14:47It ain't all I can do.
01:14:48You can't get to him.
01:14:50I can't lay here and see the old man get dry ghost.
01:15:15I'll kill the man that turns.
01:15:17I'll kill the man that turns.
01:15:19I'll kill the man that turns.
01:15:22face the wall.
01:15:23Face the wall.
01:15:24Now go easy to the door.
01:15:30Don't go out.
01:15:31He's setting us up for the guns on the ridge.
01:15:35And we'll kill the others Ich-
01:15:38wall-to-thumb-thumb-thumb-thumb-thumb-thumb-thumb-thumb-thumb-thumb-thumb-thumb-thumb.
01:15:57the fence. But you, you must have been about 13 then. You remember me. Oh, I know your father.
01:16:06This is like as if Miles Jessop walked from the grave. Yeah, exactly.
01:16:28Help the boy. I'm helping him. Handle him easy. Yeah. Here on, he can have anything I got in the
01:16:36world.
01:16:37You better pray he can use it. You came here to kill him and he gave you your life on
01:16:41a plate.
01:16:43From now on, he'll never be without friends.
01:16:46Or without a home.
01:16:59Or without a home.
