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
00:02:16as this sun went down.

00:03:50GIVE ME MY RIFLE.
00:03:51WHAT'S THE MATTER?
00:03:53SOMETHIN'S PECKING THE HORSES.
00:03:55OH, THAT AIN'T NOTHING BUT THAT COON CATFICING 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 outguess 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.
00:04:29Why?
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?
00:04:39What 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 Marfa.
00:05:21Who for, Sonny?
00:05:23Sawmill?
00:05:23No sawmill in Marfa.
00:05:30Bandy, huh?
00:05:31I oughta...
00:05:31Hold it, Frank.
00:05:37What do we seem to have caught?
00:05:39We call it a coon cat.
00:05:41Oh, leave off.
00:05:42Will you, fellas?
00:05:43Better come with me, coon cat.
00:05:45See how things look from the house.
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?
00:06:11You 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.
00:06:31Now go over the door.
00:06:34Give a good pull on that bell roll.
00:06:36Sit down.
00:06:42Come on.
00:06:42You can't hold me, dear.
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.
00:07:04We'll hang on to him.
00:07:06Come on, you.
00:07:07Come on, the man said.
00:07:08I heard him.
00:07:12Abby?
00:07:13Is that coffee still hot?
00:07:15Should be, Pa.
00:07:22Well, I got them so they'll go on.
00:07:24I don't know whether they'll ever come over or not.
00:07:25That's all right.
00:07:26They'll look good old.
00:07:27Hey, watch out for that lamb.
00:07:28Come on.
00:07:31Put them on in.
00:07:32I'll move.
00:07:32Put them on in.
00:07:33Settle down, boy.
00:07:36And why take ye thought of raiment?
00:07:39Consider the lilies of the field how they...
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 ballars.
00:07:50Well, it's only Pat Farrell.
00:07:51That's what I say.
00:07:52Abby, you!
00:07:54Hey, Abby, I brought you...
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.
00:08:22He's a great big Indian, I think.
00:08:23Then shut up and sit down.
00:08:27It's dark.
00:08:28I couldn't even see him a gun size.
00:08:30Shut up.
00:08:31Consider the lilies of the field how they grow.
00:08:34They 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 cry!
00:08:49Oh, no, you don't.
00:08:56You sure you don't know him, Pat?
00:08:58Why do you think your horse thief was an Indian
00:09:00if it was so dark?
00:09:05Hey, hey.
00:09:07At least in there, he 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 lad he's got there.
00:09:19What'd you take that for?
00:09:21I am 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, there goes your one.
00:09:50Sure.
00:09:51Why'd you think I'd give him the rope to him?
00:10:02Hey, Dixie.
00:10:03Yeah?
00:10:04Frank's slob to get kinda rough with that kid.
00:10:07I'll go see you, Potter.
00:10:08You better not lose any time.
00:10:18Right.
00:10:35You ready to talk?
00:10:37I ain't ready for nothing.
00:10:38Yeah.
00:10:40I'll make you talk.
00:10:57How's that? Think it'll do you?
00:10:59No!
00:11:00I'll kill you, perhaps.
00:11:23Well, come on, wake up. Let's get on with it.
00:11:27Sure, I know you're ready for more. There's no end to it.
00:11:30No, I give in.
00:11:32Well, it's about time.
00:11:34So this is your better idea, huh?
00:11:37Yes, and it works. Shut up and listen.
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.
00:11:48Where's the body?
00:11:50On the floor of the trading post.
00:11:54There you are.
00:12:28It's funny how haunted and deathly that thing can look when you know what's inside.
00:12:33Where'd you bed down?
00:12:36Over there.
00:12:37Inside them old busted walls.
00:12:40Planned the robbery there, huh?
00:12:42It was my own money.
00:12:43Yeah, what was Jim's shell doing with it?
00:12:45Well, this road has a bad name.
00:12:48He said he better keep it for me until morning.
00:12:50Good idea.
00:12:51No, 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's 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.
00:13:10Not right then.
00:13:12I come back out to my fire there in the ruin.
00:13:15Those 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 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.
00:13:37Who said shoot him?
00:13:39You just go in, hold a gun on him, and say, I want my money.
00:13:43We'll back you up.
00:13:44Sure, we be there.
00:13:47Get that gun out of the pack, rober.
00:13:49You know that what 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.
00:14:07Jim's shell was over by the fireplace, fixing a pack saddle.
00:14:32Jim's shell was over by the fireplace, fixing a pack saddle.
00:14:33Jim's shell was over by the fireplace, fixing a pack.
00:14:34Are you sure that gun's loaded?
00:14:48Are you sure that gun's loaded?
00:14:56I thought I was blind, and pretty soon I could see.
00:15:06Then I remembered, and I knew I'd killed a man.
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'd done it.
00:15:51Are those 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?
00:16:43Yet?
00:16:44Look for yourself.
00:16:48Dust, inches deep, everywhere.
00:16:57Maybe there was a dust storm.
00:16:59Hasn't been any.
00:17:00The place has been deserted for months.
00:17:02I'll tell you something else.
00:17:03There hasn't been any fire inside of that ruin.
00:17:05No ashes, no tracks.
00:17:07Nobody's been near it.
00:17:08I can't even show you a sharp stone in the fireplace
00:17:10right where 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.
00:17:27You 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?
00:17:47Because 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.
00:17:52But 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.
00:18:13The trading post's been locked up for months.
00:18:15Why would the boy say he killed somebody?
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 a minute 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.
00:18:43That kid's dangerous.
00:18:44Anything is with his brains knocked out.
00:18:46Yet that old fool insisted...
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've still got guns.
00:19:03Who'd have shoot him?
00:19:05Pat, dear.
00:19:07See that nail holding that dish pan?
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.
00:19:47You 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.
00:20:03Come on, honey.
00:20:04I want to show you something.
00:20:08Red and butter.
00:20:09Red and butter.
00:20:10Well, I see we're still going to the party.
00:20:19See Big Jim here?
00:20:21Been a Big Jim in our family for a long time.
00:20:24My grandpappy wrote 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?
00:20:54Pat, 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?
00:21:28Sure 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.
00:21:56Give him the smiling man.
00:21:58Well, he was...
00:22:01He was sort of black-looking.
00:22:05And gaunted.
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.
00:22:23The one the smiling man called Roper.
00:22:27Well, 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?
00:22:44Why, how could he be, Mr. Stuck?
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.
00:23:46Abby, why don't you and Pat live here after you're married?
00:23:49Don't you feel kind of funny going over to the old Jessop place?
00:23:53It isn't the Jessop place anymore.
00:23:55It's Pat's and my place.
00:23:56Why should I feel funny?
00:23:58Oh, that's what makes you so jumpy, lady.
00:24:01Everything over there belongs to the Jessops who are dead.
00:24:04The graveyard's right in back of the house.
00:24:07Everybody in it died at the fence war fighting us and hating us.
00:24:11Well, I admit I...
00:24:14Listen, there is something wrong.
00:24:41Hey, get a gun, will you?
00:24:43Come on.
00:24:45What's the matter?
00:24:46There are two strangers up there watching the house.
00:24:48Where?
00:24:49I've seen it for more by the storage tank.
00:24:50Come on, I'll show you.
00:24:59The right of it.
00:25:11Well, they was there.
00:25:12Big Jim saw them.
00:25:13He whinnied.
00:25:14Yeah, we saw them.
00:25:15Two riders without no heads.
00:25:17They was awful, wasn't it, Frank?
00:25:18I was sure scared.
00:25:20Won't you never believe nothing I say?
00:25:22Now, sir, and I'm getting sick and tired of this spook business.
00:25:24So you get that bucket of water and bring it on in the house.
00:25:36Well, forget about it.
00:25:39Let's think about the barn warming and there'll be my wedding.
00:25:43It's the strangest thing.
00:25:46It's gone now.
00:25:47For a minute there, I never felt in worse danger in my life.
00:25:51I'll blow out the lamp and come to bed.
00:25:54Come on.
00:26:17Stand still, will you?
00:26:18You want to look pretty for the barn warming, don't you?
00:26:20Oh, I ain't needed there.
00:26:21Well, no one's aiming to stay here with you, that's for sure.
00:26:24Turn around.
00:26:26Hey, sonny.
00:26:27Where'd you get these boots?
00:26:29Rancher, give them to me.
00:26:30Uh-huh.
00:26:32Boat whistle.
00:26:32Huh?
00:26:33Where'd Pa go?
00:26:34Just wasting horse flesh, tracking down them spooks.
00:26:37Old fool ain't no catch nothing.
00:26:38He's blind in a bat in a barrel.
00:26:40What spooks?
00:26:42Cooncat seen them, sitting out there in the dead of night without any heads.
00:26:45Well, you said no heads.
00:26:47Abby, there's something laying on this kid's shirt tail like grim death to a tax lien.
00:26:53And do you think he'll switch from his one same lie?
00:26:58They ain't after me.
00:26:59They would have rode on long ago.
00:27:01Those fellas want to hurt you people here.
00:27:03What fellas?
00:27:05I don't know who your enemies be, mister.
00:27:07But boy, you got them.
00:27:09Why don't they drop a bullet through one of these windows and be done with it?
00:27:12Oh, they'd never get out of this basin if so much as Megan got away.
00:27:16Every rancher within 90 miles would be on them.
00:27:19Horse Davis said so himself.
00:27:22All right, take that off.
00:27:24Come on, Boat whistle.
00:27:24Show me the tracks.
00:27:25All right, if you got to.
00:27:27But any answer to theirs is standing right here on this breezed way.
00:27:31Now, honey, if you haven't seen a bat before...
00:27:35Who did that to you?
00:27:37You wouldn't believe nothing I said anyway.
00:27:39Your old man, huh?
00:27:42My uncle.
00:27:43He kept pining on me till I run off.
00:27:46What was he beating you about?
00:27:48About he was full of liquor, mostly.
00:27:50I suppose you robbed him, seeing as you was leaving.
00:27:53Sure.
00:27:55I took seven dollars for the seven years I worked there.
00:27:57What in heaven's name did he hit you with?
00:27:59Trace chain?
00:28:02Nobody uses a trace chain here.
00:28:05Only a drag robe, huh?
00:28:08Not anymore, I can promise you that.
00:28:11Megan, give him a hat.
00:28:13Hold these.
00:28:15Wait a minute, let's see which...
00:28:16Here, try that blue one on him.
00:28:21No, no, that ain't much good.
00:28:23Here, let me see here.
00:28:24Well, there's one there.
00:28:26That ought to look pretty good on him.
00:28:29No, that makes him look too doodish.
00:28:31It'll be all right if you cut that ribbon off there.
00:28:33But that's no good.
00:28:34Here, get rid of that.
00:28:35Here, try it.
00:28:36Now, that ought to be all right.
00:28:39That's pretty good.
00:28:40What's that?
00:28:41The scarecrow's been wearing it.
00:28:43Well, the scarecrow can keep it.
00:28:46Try this one.
00:28:47But that's...
00:28:48Hush.
00:28:54Whose is this?
00:28:55It's hers.
00:28:56Maybe you don't want to wear a girl's hat.
00:28:58Listen, this isn't a girl's hat.
00:29:00It's my hat.
00:29:00I have another.
00:29:01Let's go, Boat Whistle.
00:29:03Hey, Sonny.
00:29:05Hats for town.
00:29:09Hush.
00:29:39Hush.
00:29:50Hush.

00:31:58and burnouts and blizzards
00:32:00and every other ding-dang thing that wasn't useful.
00:32:03Are we going to let a dogey kid throw us?
00:32:05Well, it's not that I'm throwing it.
00:32:06Saturday night is the barnwarming.
00:32:08After that party and two more, I will have been to three.
00:32:11I don't want to hear another ding-dang thing
00:32:13about coon-cat trouble or any other kind.
00:32:15I'm going to a party.
00:32:17Yes, ma'am.
00:32:25Y'all getting in shape?
00:32:26You two sprouts getting this bug board.
00:32:29We're going to take off to that party on the high lobe.
00:32:31Hurry up now. Come on, get in here.
00:32:32Help me up, coon-cat.
00:32:34Come on, get in there.
00:32:38You ready?
00:32:40Yes.
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. Not I shave.
00:32:49Oh, great land of fury. Get up out of here.
00:33:18You see them old stone walls over there?
00:33:21Listen, sonny.
00:33:22I've been on this range for 20 years.
00:33:25And if there's something of following us, I'd note it.
00:33:27Then you'll 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 along 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.
00:33:51You'll be interested.
00:33:51Get on there.
00:33:52Hit.
00:34:02This here's 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.
00:34:10In 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' herd.
00:34:24You know how them cattle died?
00:34:26No.
00:34:27Well, every few years, we get a blizzard from the north that drives our cattle before it.
00:34:32They always took shelter up in them canyons ahead until 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, and Miles Jessup built this fence here.
00:34:47That year, the blizzard come.
00:34:50And our cattle piled up on this fence a hundred deep, as far as the eye could see.
00:34:54Them that didn't die where you see them now had their hoofs froze off.
00:34:58They walked around on the stumps till they fell down.
00:35:01I've heard the story a hundred times.
00:35:03So now you know what your Miles Jessup done that we had to fight him.
00:35:06And the fight was never finished while there was a Jessup left.
00:35:09And Miles Jessup hung dying on his own fence.
00:35:12Right over there by that post.
00:35:16Hey, 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, look, too.
00:35:30Oh, it was what you got to.
00:35:31They're there!
00:35:38Oh, you too, now, huh?
00:35:43Yeah.
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?
00:35:55Yes.
00:35:56I do see.
00:36:00Mm-hmm.
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?
00:36:06Get 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 when you spoke of the smiling man.
00:36:19The smiling man and Miles Jessup are one and the same.
00:36:24I only told you who I saw.
00:36:27And 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?
00:36:49They was dead when you were two years old.
00:36:51I said I saw him because I did.
00:36:53Am I supposed to think that dead men walked?
00:36:56No.
00:36:57Dead 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,
00:37:06who drilled that into you?
00:37:08Nobody did.
00:37:09I saw him.
00:37:09I saw him more than once.
00:37:11Oh, take the hand 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.
00:37:30Come on in.
00:37:31Come on, come on.
00:37:31Hello, Mr.
00:37:32You know some horse?
00:37:34Yes.
00:37:34What was it?
00:37:35There's people here tonight from all over the world and part ark itself
00:37:49You're right
00:37:59Abby come on
00:38:01I'm coming
00:38:04Where's Abby? Did she go to sleep in a...
00:38:08Well, who's this?
00:38:09Now, you've seen me in a skirt before?
00:38:13I guess I can get used to it
00:38:18Oh, Pat, I get so tired trying to be a man
00:38:20Oh, that's all over with
00:38:22From now on, you're going to wear dresses every day
00:38:24And I love it
00:38:33Pat, where are your father and mother? I 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
00:38:40I 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
00:38:45It seems awfully funny
00:38:46Oh, come on, they'll be here
00:38:47Let's have some fun
00:38:52Hey, come on, everybody
00:38:53If you've eaten the barbecue, let's dance
00:38:55Come on, Bill, finally
00:38:56Come on, everybody
00:38:59Oh, join hands and circle a baby
00:39:03Break and trail along
00:39:05That line with the lady in the lead and the jet behind
00:39:08Your left hand in like the dinner gong
00:39:10And the spinning wheel rolls right along
00:39:12Now back with your right, you're done going wrong
00:39:15Now over your shoulder with your left arm
00:39:17And wrap them up like a ball of yarn
00:39:19And a do-si-do won't do no harm
00:39:24Now meet your honey and pat her on her head
00:39:26And promenade, that's what I said
00:39:34Oh, join hands and circle a baby
00:39:38Break and trail along that line
00:39:39With the lady in the lead and the jet behind
00:39:43Your left hand in like the dinner gong
00:39:45And the spinning wheel rolls right along
00:39:46Now back with your right, you're done going wrong
00:39:50Now over your shoulder with your left arm
00:39:52And wrap them up like a ball of yarn
00:39:53And a do-si-do won't do no harm
00:39:58Now meet your honey and pat her on her head
00:40:00Come on, Coon, catch your end in this
00:40:01It's lots of fun
00:40:02Oh, I can't see no sense in it
00:40:04The only sense is I want you to
00:40:05I 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
00:40:11Come on
00:40:12Well?
00:40:13Mel?
00:40:16Party, your partner

00:40:26A young'un?
00:40:26Bob Jessup?
00:40:27Yeah
00:40:27He was 13
00:40:29I knew it
00:40:30He's the Goon Cat
00:40:31That's Bob Jessup dancing with me
00:40:33Except Bob Jessup would be about 30
00:40:36And he's spending a life sentence up in Leavenworth
00:40:38Oh
00:40:43The old cow kicked in the yelling ball
00:40:45Swing the opposite across the hall

00:40:55That's the nicest thing anyone ever did
00:40:57I don't know what you mean
00:40:58All right, but I'll tell you something else
00:41:00Those were the first flowers we ever got in all our lives
00:41:05Turn your back to spit on the wall
00:41:07And swing the opposite
00:41:08Across the hall
00:41:10First and third, forward and back
00:41:16Forward again and circle forward
00:41:17Two little ladies, do-so-do
00:41:19A little bit of heel and a little bit of toe
00:41:22Now take your honey and a home you go

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
00:43:03Where's your point?
00:43:04In the house, I guess

00:43:06Cooncat, where are you going?
00:43:08Stay in the light no matter what
00:43:09Now, folks, heart is breaking

00:45:16Wait a minute
00:45:19Right over there
00:45:21Look past my shoulder
00:45:22By that farm wagon
00:45:23You see him now
00:45:26You see him now
00:45:30No
00:45:32Those spooks really get around
00:45:34Don't they?
00:45:35I was looking for your pa
00:45:36To tell him they was here
00:45:37Oh, coon cat
00:45:38What are we going to do with you?
00:45:40With me?
00:45:41Well, you people can't even
00:45:42Take care of yourselves
00:45:43Those fellas in after me
00:45:44I'm only in their way
00:45:45Then why are you running?
00:45:47I can't help you people
00:45:48Because you won't believe me
00:45:49And I ain't staying around
00:45:51To get blamed
00:45:51You leave that be
00:45:53You're not fit to go
00:45:54Running around loose
00:45:55You'll get yourself hurt
00:45:56Beating this way
00:45:57That's my business
00:45:57And I'm making it mine
00:45:59Now, get yourself on inside
00:46:00Unless you want
00:46:01Twenty ropers on your heels
00:46:03Come on, I said
00:46:07Hey, where's Frank Bell?
00:46:09We're going to Mars
00:46:12Thank you
00:46:15You, what have you art?
00:46:16Well, I don't know, Rudolph
00:46:17He come riding in here a while ago
00:46:19Just as fast as he could
00:46:25Uh-huh, somebody found out something
00:46:27What's that to us?
00:46:29I'll find out
00:46:29Wait 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
00:46:42When it comes
00:46:43Your father was out in the crowd
00:46:44Looked like he got it
00:46:45As he rode in
00:46:46How long they been dead?
00:46:47Maybe a week
00:47:00Pat, dear, I'm so sorry
00:47:04So now we know what it was
00:47:05The boy done
00:47:06Those 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
00:47:54Pass the words quiet as you can
00:47:59I want you girls to go home too
00:48:02I think you better take them
00:48:04What are you going to do?
00:48:06I'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
00:48:18Tonight
00:48:19We was face to face
00:48:21You can tell them
00:48:23You saw them
00:48:25You had to see them
00:48:27He told me he saw them
00:48:35My pa took a bullet through his lungs standing by you
00:48:37Have 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
00:48:47He was so afraid to show his face he risked your guns rather than ask for grub
00:48:52Frantic for a horse, frantic to get out of the country
00:48:55I know that
00:48:56Remember what you said
00:48:58There's been a crime, a bad one
00:48:59We got to find out what 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
00:49:09We 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
00:49:21And they're dead
00:49:24Horse
00:49:28Coon 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'd you get those boots?
00:49:45Where'd you give them to me?
00:49:46Pull them off
00:49:53It's the drag app
00:49:56My pa's brand
00:49:57And it was him giving them to me
00:49:59Sonny
00:50:00What'd you pull the stitches out for?
00:50:02Oh I knew people say I stole them
00:50:04I've been wearing castoffs
00:50:11Are you satisfied?
00:50:13I am not
00:50:14And I won't be
00:50:15I 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
00:50:26He will 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
00:50:44Will ever set foot on this place again
00:50:46Oh Pat I don't believe you
00:50:47And you can have the fence back
00:50:49Right where it was
00:50:50And quick
00:50:52Walk out that door
00:50:57Abbey
00:50:58Get in the buggy
00:51:00We'll lead your horse
00:51:09I have no horse
00:51:10I have no horse
00:51:15Come on get that wagon up here
00:51:35I'm going up ahead
00:51:36Keep an eye out for the trouble
00:51:40Pat
00:51:41Pat
00:51:43I never believed he'd do it
00:51:45I believed it
00:51:47I believed it
00:51:47It's going to be the same terrible thing all over again
00:51:50No
00:51:52You know why?
00:51:54That gully over there is where Tommy died
00:51:57Eleven years old
00:52:00Told him to stay home of course
00:52:01But
00:52:03He fell
00:52:04There
00:52:05With 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
00:52:27I'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 Ellsworth
00:52:40And Kansas City
00:52:40They got to meet my drive in Dodge
00:52:42Meet what in Dodge?
00:52:43Every cow we got
00:52:44That can walk them
00:52:45Selling off the cattle
00:52:46Oh you old fool
00:52:47You ain't going to get through
00:52:47In the teeth of winter
00:52:48I'll lose every credit I got
00:52:49If I'll hold them here
00:52:50And you'll get to Dodge all right
00:52:51With about one cow left
00:52:53And she'll be a skull on a stick
00:52:54The rest of the herds
00:52:55Are as good as this one
00:52:56We'll get through
00:52:56Oh Paul you're throwing away
00:52:58Everything we got in the world
00:52:59For a wretched boy
00:52:59Who doesn't even want it
00:53:00No I'm not doing it for the boy
00:53:02Either a thing is right
00:53:03Or it's wrong
00:53:04There's no half way
00:53:05Paul why don't you
00:53:06Take Megan to Marfa with you
00:53:07Are you ready in seven seconds?
00:53:08I sure can
00:53:09All right I'll send down
00:53:1012-14 trailhands
00:53:11As fast as I can find them
00:53:13And you can start them
00:53:13Rounding up
00:53:14Oh this is going to be
00:53:15The end of this brand
00:53:16You know that don't you?
00:53:17I want every critter I own
00:53:18Bunched and ready to start
00:53:20When I get back
00:53:21If only Tommy was alive
00:53:22That's when they broke
00:53:23This outfit's back
00:53:24When they killed that little kid
00:53:26Paul didn't say we were beat
00:53:27No he didn't say it
00:53:28But I know as well
00:53:29As I know anything in the world
00:53:30That fence would come out whistling
00:53:32If your brother was alive today
00:53:33But he ain't
00:53:35Now get going
00:53:35Get up out of here
00:53:36Get out of here
00:53:48I don't know
00:53:49Mr. Davis sent us in from Marfa
00:53:50Put your stuff in the bunkhouse
00:53:52And grab a snack
00:53:57Do you know what your pappy
00:53:58Would say to this?
00:53:59He'd say it's too bad
00:54:00She's here instead of Tommy
00:54:02Now lead out the wagon
00:54:03You know something?
00:54:04I ain't about to
00:54:05I'll go if you'll let me
00:54:07I can cook all right
00:54:08And stay here with this loony kid

00:54:58I don't want a post left standing
00:55:37Sure don't like this smoke we're making
00:55:38It's bound to be seen
00:55:40No
00:55:45I'm afraid it has been seen
00:55:46Right above that knot
00:55:48Yes I see them
00:55:51Holy cow

00:57:40Ain't no blood in no place.
00:57:43Yeah, here's something.
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.
00:58:02Let 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.
00:58:21I'll be sorry when they hang him.
00:58:21I 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 Joseph be alive?
00:58:41How could he be alive?
00:58:42Maybe you're only wounded.
00:58:43He was buried by our own boys.
00:58:45Well, maybe you're buried the wrong one.
00:58:46Oh.
00:58:48Or 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!
00:59:07I'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.

00:59:24Miles Jessup.
00:59:25What's the matter, boat whistle?
00:59:27Didn'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 only...
00:59:52extraordinary here's a wouble in the home.

01:07:28There's rocks in it.
01:07:35Here's where he 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.
01:07:44I've got to find him. I've got to. If I have to tear down this whole place.
01:07:52Kuhn Kahn, hush a minute.
01:07:55I thought I heard horses.
01:07:58Guess I didn't though. It's awful quiet.
01:08:06It's almost morning. I can see a little streak of mustard in the east.
01:08:12It's what those brush wolves are singing at.
01:08:18Oh, there's no use going on. There's nothing here.
01:08:21But won't the blood stain prove it?
01:08:22Oh, they'd say you spilled something.
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 about 20 miles downstream.
01:08:55But not soon.
01:08:57Come on, Megan!
01:09:08Come on, Megan!
01:09:10Stick close to me. They'll be right on us.
01:09:15They got into the brush. Get 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. We'll get in there as soon as he's gone.
01:10:05Why?
01:10:06It's the only safe place. He's looked in there already.
01:10:12We can start now.
01:10:25I wish Pa would 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?
01:10:47Living here.
01:10:49I could fix it up real pretty.
01:10:52It had walls, floor.
01:10:54No job to fix that. I could do it with my own hands.
01:10:57Glass in the windows?
01:10:58Sure. I 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. I'm a murderer everybody thinks.
01:11:12I don't.
01:11:15I know.
01:11:17I 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 the roper.
01:11:40Where are you going?
01:11:41Look inside.
01:11:42Keep back against the wall.
01:11:44I was in there. Come on.
01:11:52Coach Davis, come all right.
01:11:53He's only a little way up.
01:11:54How long?
01:11:54Two men with him.
01:11:56Pat Ferrell's coming up.
01:11:57Take the horses around behind.
01:12:02Everything's gonna be all right.
01:12:04Yeah, everything's gonna 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.
01:12:40Hey!
01:12:42Hey!
01:12:44I got your word.
01:12:45I said no word for you to come here.
01:12:48Abbey thought you might need me.
01:12:49Well, I don't.
01:12:53Them killers will hold their fire until nobody can miss.
01:12:57You gotta let him know.
01:12:57No one.
01:12:58That'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, threw a couple of shots down there to hold his interest.
01:13:20I'm going around the long way by 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 he 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!
01:14:43That's Kunkat. He ain't inside.
01:14:44Isn't that a gunman in there?
01:14:46Keep shooting. That's all we can do.
01:14:47It ain't all I can do.
01:14:48You can't get to him.
01:14:49I can't lay here and see the old man get dry ghost.
01:14:53I can't lay here and see the old man get dry ghost.
01:15:17Drop your guns.
01:15:19Now get up.
01:15:21Slow.
01:15:22Face 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.
01:15:36Yeah.
01:15:37I thought you'd remember me.
01:15:47They told me Bob Jessup was in the pen.
01:15:50That's right.
01:15:51Or I'd have been here long ago.
01:15:54Him I recognize.
01:15:54I saw his brother die in his arms.
01:15:57The fence.
01:15:58But you.
01:15:59You must have been about 13 then.
01:16:01You remember me.
01:16:03No.
01:16:04I know your father.
01:16:06This is like as if Miles Jessup walked from the grave.
01:16:09Yeah.
01:16:09Exactly.
01:16:28Help the boy.
01:16:30I'm helping him.
01:16:32Handle him easy.
01:16:33Yeah.
01:16:35Here on he can have anything I got in the world.
01:16:37You better pray he can use it.
01:16:39You came here to kill him and he gave you your life on a plate.
01:16:43From now on.
01:16:44I'll never be without friends.
01:16:46And without a home.
01:16:54Here you are.
01:16:55And without a home.
01:17:02You call me.
