( upbeat theme playing )

Most cowherds
picture the Lord

as a pretty serious
old gentleman.

But I figure any power
that could create the cow

has got to have
a strong sense of humor.

Nothing uglier, more contrary,
or more stupid

ever drew breath.

Unless it's the men
who push 'em.

I know.

I'm one of the men
who pushes 'em.

I'm Gil Favor,
trail boss.

What do you want to do,
lie there till you take root?

Come on, let's go!

What time's
it gettin' to be, Wish?

Almost 4:30.

Whoever took time
with a one-handed watch?

Count the number of times
the hand goes around.

Oh.

Four-thirty.

Boy they're sure gettin'
worse all the time.

Act like a bunch
of European princesses.

One man up
out of the whole bunch.

Who is it, Lou Paris?

Right.

He's ridin' point today,
I wanna talk to him.

Where is he?

I almost hate
to tell you.

Takin' a bath.

Another one?

That's what I told him.

I said, Lou, someday
you're gonna kill yourself.

All that water,
it ain't healthy.

And you know
what he said?
Hm?

He said
it closed his pores.

[SCOFFING]
Oh.

That's what he said.

( upbeat cheerful theme
playing )

( ominous theme plays )

MAN:
Hey, mister, hold it.

Mornin'.
Mornin'.

Say, I wonder
if you could help us.

We're lookin' for a man.

So am I,
one of my drovers.

You a trail boss?

Got a herd,
quarter-mile east of here.

How long you been there?

Come in last night.

This man...

Well, he's curly-haired,
about 24.

He'd be ridin' down
from Red River Station.

Mm, haven't seen him.
What do you want him for?

He probably couldn't have got
this far anyway, Junkin.

Why, he could've got
twice this far.

He's strong as an ox.

Took the whole door with him
when he broke out.

You lawmen?

Nope.

This fella...

if you do see him,
you'd better keep your distance.

Why?

He's--

He's, uh, dangerous.

Come on, Wiley.

Thank ya.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Lou!

Mr. Favor!

Get back!

LOU:
Get back, Mr. Favor!

Leave him alone,
Mr. Favor!

Leave him alone!

Don't touch him!

Don't touch him!

I can't hear you.

Come on over here.

( ominous theme plays )

I tried to warn you,
Mr. Favor.

I come on him
when I was swimmin'.

Is it what
I think it is, Lou?

Yes, sir.

No wonder they didn't wanna
talk about him.

Sir?

When'd you
come across him?

Uh, five, ten minutes ago.

I was gonna ride back
to the herd

and tell you-all
to keep away.

You ever had what he had,
Mr. Favor?

No.

How about you?

I'm all right.

I been scratched.

This here's the scar.

Now, that means
I can't catch nothin'.

They been doin' a lot of this
in the East.

I got it done
before I come out here.

You think
that might help me, Lou?

Well...

Too late, huh?

You oughta see a doctor,
Mr. Favor.

He'd be able to tell ya
better than me.

There oughta be one
at the Red River Station.

That's overnight
from here but...

I think it's important enough
for you take the time.

We'll, um--

We'll move him over
on those loose rocks, there.

Yes, sir.

( dramatic theme playing )

Mr. Favor?

What you doin'
over there?

We been ready to go
for a half-hour now.

Good you came by.

You're gonna have to take over
the herd for a while.

What for?

Lou and I gotta go
into Red River Station.

Why?

We're gonna have to buy our way
through some of this land.

I have to see the man
who owns it.

I think Lou can help me.

Well, I guess
I'll see you later, then, huh?

You don't think
you should've told him,

do you, Mr. Favor?

He'll be wonderin'.

No use worrying him.

He'll have enough to do
movin' the herd.

Let's go.

( tense theme playing )

Boss...

( gun cocks )

What--?
What the devil?

What are you doing here?

I left Quince
with the herd.

With what you said about buying
your way through this country

just didn't seem right
to me.

I thought maybe you needed
some help or something.

Don't touch that!

I told you
to stay away!

What do you got
ears for?

I thought you were
in trouble or somethin'.

If I was,
it was my trouble.

Lou...

He touched me
on the shoulder.

Is that enough
to do it?

Well, if you've got it,
he's got it.

Got what?

The pox.

What pox?

You understand
what I'm saying?

Smallpox.

Smallpox?

Back at the lake
we found a fella dead of it.

LOU:
We'd just buried him
when you come up.

We decided we'd look for a doc
for Mr. Favor

in Red River Station.

Anybody follow you here?

No.

Guess he'll be needin'
a doc now too, huh?

All right,
let's mount up.

MAN:
...the righteous wrath,
my friends,

of providence
on your evil heads.

Let me ask ya something.

Dear neighbors,
when are ya gonna repent?

When are you gonna start
to walk in the straight

and the narrow path
of righteousness?

You'd better hurry.

because you haven't got
much longer.

Mr. Favor,
there it is.

FAVOR:
Patients don't seem to be
lined up, do they?

Well, I'll see
if he's around.

Graduatin' them
kinda young this year.

Well, hello.

Hi.

Are you the doctor?

( laughs )

You know where he's at?

Well, uh, would you mind
showin' us, son?

ROWDY:
What's the bag for?

Keep sickness away.

What kinda medicine this doctor
practicin', anyway? Voodoo?

I got a lot of faith

in what doctors are doin'
nowadays, Mr. Favor.

Maybe it's some kind
of a new idea.

Well,
that's nothin' new.

That's
an asafetida bag.

Can't you smell it?

Well, let's talk
to the doc anyhow.

Can't hurt nothin'.

Raymond, how--

Hey, Junkin,
come here!

Look.

What are you doin' outside?

Now, what did Grandpa tell you
about leavin' the house, huh?

Now, now, now.

Here,
let me have him.

You go on in
with Grandma.

My cow, my cow.

Grandpa'll fix it for you.

He don't understand.

This is a plague-town.

Anything happen
to him why we'd--

Looks like
a healthy youngster.

You're the trail boss
I met this mornin'.

That's right.

Did you happen to come across
the fella we was lookin' for?

Yeah, we found him...

Dead?

'Fraid so.

We, uh--
We give him a decent burial.

I thank you.

Was he a friend
of yours?

The boy's father.

My son.

Much obliged to you
for comin' by and tellin' us.

I wouldn't stick around town,
though, if I was you.

Not unless you already had
the smallpox.

Are you the only doctor
in town?

No,
I ain't a doctor.

But I can help you.

I still got
some asafetida bags left,

and my wife's brewin' up
some more herb tea.

If you're feelin' feverish,
I could bleed you,

but you'll have to wait
at the end of the line.

Mister,
that won't do no good.

Bleeding, herb tea...

You know a better way
of holdin' off the smallpox?

Vaccination.

( scoffs )
Vaccination?

You mean stickin' germs
in healthy bodies?

Well, sure, it works.

WILEY:
Ah, it can't work.

It worked on me.

If you believe that, boy,
I feel sorry for you.

And I'm tellin' you
to get on your horse

and get outta town now

because you're a danger
to yourself

and everybody
you meet.

Mister, you're the one
that's dangerous,

thinkin' the way you do.

Listen to him, Junkin.
He's worse than Flood.

Flood?
The doctor?

Is he still around?

Yeah.

FAVOR:
Where could we find him?

Take the north road.
Go out about a mile.

You'll see a barn out there
with a guard out front.

Most likely Flood'll
be there.

Thanks.

Mister...

You can talk to Flood
all you want.

But when you're through,
you keep on headin' north.

JUNKIN:
Because if you ain't got
the smallpox now,

you'll have it then.

You'll be next to dead, mister,
wherever you're going.

So don't come back here.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Pest house.

Looks like something outta
my last nightmare.

Well, that must've been
a screamer.

It was.

FAVOR:
Buggy's out front,

doctor must be around
somewheres.

You two
better stay back.

Maybe you got it,
maybe you ain't.

No sense
takin' chances.

I'll bring him out.

( gun cocks )

I'm just lookin'
for Doc Flood.

Doc.

He can't hear.

Well,
I'll get him myself.

Just a minute, now.

Look, it's my life,
ain't it?

If I want to risk it,
what's it to you?

Means nothin' to me.

Well, then, let me in.

If that's all you care,

go ahead.

But you ain't
gettin' out.

Nobody's gettin' out,
except the doc.

Can I yell
in the window?

Suit yourself.

Doc Flood.

I wanna speak to Doc Flood.

You Doc Flood?

That's right,
who are you?

My name's Lou Paris,
a trail drover.

I got a couple friends
might have the smallpox.

How about takin' a look
at 'em?

Mister, are you sure
you want me?

Well, you're a doctor,
ain't you?

I don't use leeches,

and I don't have
any asafetida bags.

Glad to hear it.

Come on.

Looks like Lou
had some luck.

This here's my boss,
Mr. Favor.

And Rowdy Yates.

This here's
the doctor.

Soloman Flood,
let me see your hands.

How do you feel?

Pretty good.

Any chills or fever?

No, not yet.

And you?
No.

Let me see
your hands.

Mm-hm.

When were
you exposed?

About sunup,
yesterday.

Uh-huh.

Well, it's hard to tell
about this

until two or three days
have passed.

But it looks to me like
you two may have missed it.

Doesn't that seem like
kind of a waste of good whiskey?

Germ killer.

Whiskey?
Whiskey.

Say, doctor, um,

this vaccination
Lou keeps talkin' about.

Does it really prevent
the smallpox?

Where did you hear
about vaccination?

LOU:
Well, I got one here.

FLOOD:
Who did it?

Doctor in Boston.
Name of Parker.

Well, there are
very few people around here

that believe
in vaccination.

You believe in it?

Like it was gospel.

All right,
we'll take a shot at it.

What's the matter?

Did you ever spend any time
in drought country?

Once or twice.

How did you feel
when the first rains came?

A bit crazy,
like nothin' was quite real.

That's just the way I feel
right now.

After fighting
and getting no place...

you come along
with an open mind

and willing to take a chance

and I can't help you.

It's raining for me,
all right,

and all I have here
are my fingers to catch it in.

Are you--?
Are you tryin' to say

you don't have
any of this stuff?

Not a drop.

Look, I got 20 men
pushin' a herd north.

How wide a berth we have
to give this town to be safe?

It's hard to tell.

It may have confined itself
just to the town,

or it may have spread ten,
20 miles in every direction.

Just don't know.

What do you know,
doc?

Well, two or three days ago
I heard a rumor.

The Army's afraid
of a widespread epidemic.

So they're supposed to be
sending a shipment

of this vaccine
to Fort Jackman.

The Army believe
this new stuff will work?

Well, they seem to believe in it
enough to try it.

Now, if you could pick up
this patrol,

they'd probably give you
enough vaccine

for all your men...

and for anybody else

I might be able
to talk into taking it.

Where would we be apt
to run into this patrol?

Are you familiar
with this country?

No, but Lou here is.

I sure am.

Well, here.

Now, you ride due east
to the mountains.

The Jackman Trail runs north
and south along the foothills.

Now, it's doubtful
that the patrol has gotten

this far north,

so you ride south.

Well, thanks, doc.

We'll find it.

Well, I was sort of hoping
that you'd stay.

Me, why?

Well, I'd like to show you off
to the town,

make 'em believe
that this vaccination works.

Well, the truth is

I already showed off
a little bit.

I wasn't what you'd call
a real big success.

Well, Mr. Paris,

one of the first things
I learned as a doctor

was that nothing in medicine
at first is a big success.

Just because the pupils
learn slowly there's no reason

for the teacher
to run off and quit.

All right, doc.

Let's you and me
start teachin'.

( mellow theme playing )

I hope you find
that patrol.

If it's where you say it is,
we'll find it.

( fast-paced, dramatic theme
playing )

Afternoon.

Afternoon,
sir.

My name's Favor.

And here's
Rowdy Yates.

Lieutenant Shaw.

Are you the fellas
that are takin'

the smallpox stuff
to the fort?

Sergeant.
Sir.

Lead out.
Yes, sir!

Detail, forward.

FAVOR:
Wait a minute.

Hold it, sergeant.

My friend asked you
a question.

Yeah, I heard him.

Well, suppose
you answer him, then.

It's none
of your friend's business

what this detail's carrying,
mister.

Look, we just came from a town
a little west of here,

Red River Station.

The doctor'd appreciate it
if you could spare

some of that vaccine
you're carrying.

I have orders to deliver
certain medical supplies

to Fort Jackman.

My men
are dying there.

These medical supplies
are supposed to put an end

to the dying.

You don't think
the medicine will do it?

I have
no official opinion.

Well, what's your
unofficial opinion, then?

My unofficial opinion

is to deliver
these medical supplies

to Fort Jackman,

whether I like it
or not.

Look, lieutenant, men are dying
at the Red River Station.

Now, they're not soldiers.

But they've got wives,

children too.

Yeah,
I understand that.

And here's another
unofficial opinion.

I don't believe
in putting more of the disease

that's attacking them
into their veins.

But where would
the civilians be

if the Army
that's protecting them

didn't obey orders?

If Army men die first,

maybe this stuff won't be
foisted on the civilians.

Unofficial opinion.

Sergeant.

Detail, forward.

Hold it.

Now what do you think
you're up to?

You'd, uh,
better let me have

some of that stuff
you don't believe in.

You're two
against seven.

One word from me
and you don't exist.

You'd better make that
two that won't exist.

Are you trying to impede
this detail's progress?

Only if the detail
refuses a request for help.

My orders don't include
a request for help.

Lieutenant,

you're gonna have to pass
your patrol through me.

Open fire.

Sir, couldn't you let him have
what he asks for?

None of us,
that includes you, sir,

thinks we'll lose anything
by lettin' him have

some of that stuff
we're carryin'.

I gave a command.

The medicine, lieutenant?

Detail, forward.

I been thinkin',
boss.

I don't know what
we're gonna tell the doc.

Nothin' much to tell.

We just pick up Lou
and...

We didn't think
you'd pay attention to us,

and you didn't, did you?

FAVOR:
We're not coming into town.

You been out to the pest house,
ain't you?

Who're you to be askin'
where we been?

I got a family that gives me
the right to ask.

We all got families.

Now answer me.

We stopped outside it.

They breathed the air
outside the pest house.

All right, drovers,
get off those horses.

Get off fast.

We haven't done anything
they can shoot us for.

Get down
'fore I blow your head off!

I told you to keep goin'
once you left this town.

Now you come back here
to spread the disease.

What makes you so sure
I'm spreading it?

Because your friend
with the vaccination got it.

And you and this fella
that got away

was ridin' with him.

Can't you get it
through your head?

Lou Paris is no danger to you,
he's been scratched.

It's impossible for him
to get it.

Impossible?

He's down with it.

Can't be.

It's a fraud,
that vaccination.

All a fraud.

I offered you herbs.

I was willin'
to bleed you, but, no,

you wouldn't listen
to me.

There'll be no more offers.

No more beggin'.

Wiley,
get the horses.

You, walk.

Where?

Walk!

Hold it.

Go ahead,
mister.

Your pal, Lou,
is waitin' for ya in there.

Go on.

Take him.

Get up, mister.

Get goin', mister.

Mr. Favor?

Are you all right?

Are you hurt?

I'm all right.

Where's your friend?

Got away.

With the vaccine,
is it safe?

There's no vaccine.

What happened?

What's been happening
here?

Junkin said that Lou Paris
had the smallpox.

Is it true?

Well, is it true?

Came on him
all of a sudden.

He's over there,
he's pretty bad.

No,
I-I wouldn't go over there.

Won't do any good.

He's out of his head.

It wasn't any use
after all.

That's not true,
Mr. Favor.

And Lou would be the first one
to tell you if he could.

But his vaccination's over
eight years old.

I just learned that
this afternoon.

Eight years, 20, 50,

what's the difference?

Well, it loses its strength,
that's the difference.

We can't be sure
how long the immunity lasts.

Jenner himself,
the man who discovered it,

thought it was good
for a lifetime.

Well, maybe it's good
for seven years,

five years, four years.
We don't know

The point is it has to be taken
over and over again

to be certain.

I'd say every two or three years
to be sure.

Then a man would be safe.

Until the time is cut down
to seven months,

then seven days,

seven minutes.

Don't close your mind
to the truth, Mr. Favor

just because Lou Paris
made a mistake.

Doesn't matter.

Not anymore, anyway.

Let me see that.

You know what that is?

Pox.

Poison oak.

Poison--

For a fact?

For a fact.

Guard.

Guard.

Yeah?

Let this man out,
he doesn't have smallpox.

He will.

Guard, guard!

Oh, forget it.

He's right.

Maybe not.

Some people have
a natural immunity to this,

maybe you're one of them.

We don't know how or why
but...

couple of hours,
we'll know the truth.

Here.

Now, you stay away
from these people.

Don't go near them
for any reason.

I'll have to get in touch
with Junkin.

He'll give the order
to get you out of here.

Junkin?

You're wasting your time.

No, he's not a villain.

He's just a man
that's afraid for his family

and for his town.

He'll listen.

Guard.

Guard!

Let me outta here.

There you are, Wiley.

Them things
make my skin crawl.

Asa. For the love of heaven,
will you please--

I said no, Sol!
Now, no. No.

But keeping that trail boss
in there

is no better than murder!

He ain't gonna run loose
in this town,

infectin' everybody
that he sees

and everybody
that he talks to.

Grandpa,
when you gonna fix this?

Hannah, will you please
put the boy to bed.

Grandpa's tired, honey.
Run along.

Maybe Sol's right.

I mean, if the man
hasn't got the disease--

What are you
crossing me for?!

What's the matter
with everybody?

You're a tired man.

Well, sure I'm tired.

I'm tired enough
to sleep for 40 years,

but I can't.

Who else cares enough
about this town

to try to save it?

You, Sol?

With your fancy cures
that never work?

What, do you think
it's a pleasure

to handle these leeches?

Makes me sick
in my stomach!

But I do it.

Somebody's got to do it.

WILEY:
Why, Junkin?

Maybe it ain't worth the bother.

What are you talking about?

A couple hours ago
down at the saloon, I--

I seen Ben Coleman.

He says now two more
in his family got the rash.

His wife and daughter.

Well, you bled them.

They took the herbs.

They wore
the asafetida bags--

Are you against me too,
Wiley?

Oh, no, you-- You know
better than that. It's just--

It's just that
you expect miracles,

don't you, boy?

Well, there ain't no miracles.

There's just luck
and hope

and common sense.

It ain't that we don't
appreciate what you're doin'.

You don't appreciate nothin'.

I oughta leave you flat,
all of you.

You and your diseased families,
your diseased cattle.

What's this
about cattle?

He's talkin' about my herd.
Half of 'em got the cowpox.

I thought
your sick cows died.

Some of 'em did,
some of 'em are hangin' on.

I'd like to see them,
Wiley.

What for?

Could I look them over, Wiley?

Not if you're gonna try

some of your fancy
medical tricks.

Now, you have nothing to say
about this.

I've got all the say.

This town wouldn't be
on the map if it wasn't for me.

I saved it while you was off
dreamin' about vaccinations.

I make the decisions here,

because I earned
the right to make 'em.

Wiley?

No, I...

I'll stick
with Junkin.

( dramatic theme playing )

( whistles )

Doc.

What are you doin' back here?
Your boss said you got away.

Well, where is he?

At the pest house.

Not because of smallpox?

Because of panic.

Well, I'll get him outta there.
You wanna help?

You bet your bottom dollar
I do.

All right,
where's his horse?

At the livery stable.
I'll go get it.

I'll meet you
outside of town.

Mr. Favor.

Gimme some water.

Please,
Mr. Favor.

Mr. Favor...

gimme some water,
please.

I told you
to stay away from them.

How do you feel?

Like Lou, dead.

You were right
about Junkin.

He's not thinking anymore.

He's like a fighter
that's been beaten,

and doesn't want anyone else
to know about it,

but keeps swinging away
because he's too tired to win

and afraid to quit.

People are turning
against him,

that's what's
killing him inside.

He can't stop the smallpox,
and they know it now.

I talked
to a couple of 'em.

They may be ready now
to accept a new remedy,

like vaccination.

The trouble is,
it's too new.

They don't understand it.

They need somebody
to go first.

Somebody like you.

You wanna vaccinate me?

After this?

But I explained
about Lou.

That doesn't mean all
vaccinations are a failure.

It protected him
till it wore out.

You're what
they call "immune."

Vaccination wouldn't take
with you.

And if you'd be
an example--

Immune?

You mean,
I can't get the disease?

I could get outta here
and not give it to anybody else?

Not only could get out,
but you will get out.

Look.

Hello, boss.

Doc, uh,
told me about Lou.

He's gone, huh?

Wood's pretty rotten about--
Around these bars.

This'll be like openin'
a tin of crackers.

Well, Mr. Favor?

There's no vaccine anyway.

FLOOD:
I'll make some.

I've studied
Jenner's methods.

It's made out of cowpox.

And there's cowpox
in this town right now.

Stay over,
let me vaccinate your men.

Listen to me, Dr. Flood.

I am no saint,
no madman, either.

Just a working trail boss.

Uh, maybe I'd even try
some of this Eastern vaccine.

Even after
what happened to Lou.

But you're asking me
to risk the lives of 20 men

on just nothing more
than your say-so.

You're gonna make
a batch of vaccine.

What in the name of heaven
have you done

that I should trust you?

Nothing.

But I'm still asking you
to trust me.

You are?

For the sake of the people
this vaccine will save.

You mean the people
who threw me in here?

Yes.

Well, forget it.

This next one's gonna make
some noise when it comes off.

What about the guard?

Ah, go ahead.

No, wait.
You'll never get out like that.

I'll keep the guard busy.

When you hear me arguing
with him,

then you make your break.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Guard, guard.

Let me out.

Wait a minute.

What's this?

What do you mean,
what's this?

The rash.

Rash?
I don't see any rash.

You've got smallpox.

Smallpox?
I couldn't have.

Well,
who says you couldn't have?

GUARD:
Well, I already had it.

FLOOD:
Who says you couldn't
have it again?

( wood creaking )

Wait a minute,
wait a second.

Hey, Paul!

GUARD:
Around the back!

I'll get the horses.

( cow lowing )

( laughing )

That ain't gonna make it.
You'll never make it.

Well, where you two been?
And where's Lou?

Rowdy, take care of the horses,
will you?

Pete,
I wanna see you.

What's the matter
with him?

Huh?

What's the matter
with him?

Oh, well,
I wouldn't be surprised

he's millin' some problem over
in his mind, Wish.

What problem?

Well, let's see,

from what I know
about the Good Book,

why don't you take a check
at, uh,

Genesis 4, verse 9.

All right?

Genesis 4, verse 9.

I wanna bypass
Red River Station.

Circle around to the east.

Land's flat
to the foothills.

Right.

Pull out at sunup.

I want every man ready.

No waitin'!
No excuses.

Boss, what's happening?

That's all, Pete.

Yes, sir.

"And the Lord said unto Cain,
'Where is Abel, thy brother''

And he said, 'I know not,

am I my brother's keeper?'"

( peaceful theme playing )

You're sure
nobody else got away?

Just the trail boss.

How's Paul?

Bullet clipped his ear,
knocked him out.

But he's all right now.

He's watchin' the place.

Uh, and Flood?

Gone when I come to.

But I know where he is.

Where?

Wiley's barn.

Junkin?

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong, honey.

Go on back to bed.

( ominous theme playing )

I think you better
get out of here, doc.

Junkin's not gonna take kindly
to my lettin' you in like this.

How many people
are out there now?

Oh, I don't know.
A half a dozen, maybe more.

Well, I'll be through
in a minute.

Tell 'em I'll vaccinate
anyone who wants it.

How about you goin' first,
Wiley?

I'll tell 'em.

You wouldn't listen to me,
would you, Sol?

If you're talking
about the trail boss--

I'm talkin'
about the trail boss.

Well, you were wrong
to put him in there, Junkin.

I told you
he didn't have smallpox.

Sol, do you recollect
what we decided we'd do

to anybody escapin'
from the pest house,

or anybody helping 'em
to escape?

I remember
you made up a law yourself

and a punishment.

We decided
they'd be shot.

Junkin,
put down the gun.

Let's talk this over.

Sure, you're a good talker,
you are.

You're so good
you can talk

out of both sides
of your mouth at once.

Ah, Junkin--
You say one thing to me,

then you turn around
you open your barn to him!

Look at him!

JUNKIN:
You want the blood
of diseased cattle

in your veins?

Listen to me.

This is the Jenner method.

It's been used in England
for 50 years!

It's safe, and it's certain!

It's certain death!
Couldn't be any more certain--

Shut up, you!

You're the one who's been
turning 'em against me,

keeping 'em away
from me.

Well, no more.

You and Flood go first.

JUNKIN:
Then the trail boss.

Why not the trail boss first,
Junkin?

Junkin.

Junkin.

Your missus...

She's got the rash.

You're lyin'.

You're lyin' to me!

She's got it.

Thanks for coming back,
Mr. Favor.

I brought some of my men.

The rest'll be along
in shifts.

You mean, you, uh,
want him to vaccinate you?

Sorry, but you're gonna have
to wait your turn.

My men go first.

Wishbone, Pete.

( dramatic theme playing )

Can I say goodnight
to Grandma?

After Ma dries me.

Oh, Poppa.

Can I, Grandpa?

Look over there.

Oh, yes.

Didn't take you long
to get here.

What's going on?

Well, read the sign.

Red River Station
gettin' itself vaccinated.

Where'd they get
the vaccine?

Doctor Flood made up
a homemade batch.

These people
believe in this?

They believe in
tryin' to stay alive.

Well, you are looking
for someone?

I am.

I'm looking for a man
who held up an army detail.

You see him?

Do you see the man we want,
sergeant?

All I saw, lieutenant,

was a lot of fresh graves
as we rode in.

That's not
what I asked you.

Do you see the man
we want?

No, sir.

Neither do I.

Oh, uh...

If you run into him,
it's your duty as a citizen

to report his whereabouts
to the Army.

Right, lieutenant.

And if I ever catch up
with him,

I'll throw a military court
at him so fast

he won't know
what hit him.

I'll remember that,
lieutenant.

Hi, Mr. Favor.

Hi, Raymond.
