Rawhide (1959–1965): Season 3, Episode 19 - Incident Near Gloomy River - full transcript

Pete discovers a waterhole has gone dry overnight. Dan Fletcher from the area tells Favor a spring feeds it from above that never goes dry. Rowdy and Dan are sent to investigate. As they approach Dan's childhood home, they are fired on by Cal Fletcher, Dan's brother. The family house burned down the night before. Cal tells Dan Frank Travis has built a dam above to drive the Fletchers off their farm. At the Travis home Frank tells them water should flow again in a couple of days and he is sorry about the Fletcher home but he will release the water now. Cal tries to kill Dan with a falling rock but instead Rowdy's ankle is sprained. They take him into the Travis home where Frank's beautiful daughter Flora tends to Rowdy. When Favor and Wishbone arrive to treat Rowdy, Rowdy asks Favor if they can stay a couple days so the men can help rebuild the Fletcher home. Favor agrees but tension builds between Cal and Dan along with Frank and Flora. Ma Fletcher is forced to tell Frank that Cal is Frank's son by his first wife who died at childbirth. Frank must stop Cal who is trying to take Flora forcibly to marry her.

Look, this water hole's
goin' dry.

I thought you said
this one never went dry.



That's right.

Somethin' funny.

Funny?

It wasn't dry when
I scouted it yesterday.

Not enough water here
for a dozen head.

No more water
this side of Coalport.

I don't understand it.

Something's wrong,
Mr. Favor.

What do you mean?

Well, this crick is fed
by a good spring

up there in the hills.

It ain't never gone dry.

How do you know?

I been up there.

You mean there's water
likely to be further up ahead?

Bound to be.

I guess somebody's
blocked it off.

All right. Pete,
you and Rowdy go on up.

Mind if I go along too?

What for?

Well, my family's ranch
is up there.

At least it was
a year ago when I left.

All right, you and Rowdy
take a look, then.

Thanks.

Still dry.

Where's your folks' place?

Just up ahead.

You know,
I don't get you, Dan.

Most of the men
have been bustin',

comin' this close to home.

You weren't even gonna ride up
and take a look?

Well,
there ain't much to see.

Well, what about
your folks?

It's just my ma
and my brother.

Well, if you weren't
gonna say hello,

how come you, uh,
comin' along with me now?

There's somethin' wrong.

That was the main house.

Yeah, still smokin'.

Maybe whoever it was
that took the shot...

Hold your fire out there!

That's Cal.

That's my brother.

It's Dan!

Dan!

Oh, Danny.

Oh, I'm so glad
to see you.

It's good to see you.

You're safe.

Cal? Ain't you gonna say
nothin' to your brother?

Hello, Dan.

Hello, Cal.

That's quite a reception
you gave us.

Didn't know it was you.

When'd the house burn down?

It was last night.
Caught us in our sleep.

Just had time to get out
with a few things.

Well, that's a shame, ma'am.

Oh, this is Rowdy Yates,

ramrod for the outfit
I ride for.

My mom
and brother Cal.

Glad to know you, Mrs. Fletcher.

I apologize, Mr. Yates.

Wish you'd come sooner,

we could've offered you
our hospitality.

How'd this happen anyway?

Didn't just happen, it was set.

Cal, you ain't sure
of that.

How else do you explain it?

That's why I shot at you.

Thought it was Travis
comin' in.

What do you mean, Travis?

Cal thinks Frank Travis,
our neighbor, set the fire.

Why do you think
he'd wanna do that?

Tryin' to run us off,
he wants our land.

Oh, Cal.

The crick is dry,
ain't it?

Yeah, that's why
we came up here.

And that's not all
he wants to do.

He...
He's dammin' up above.

Pondin' it, he says.

But he's trying
to run us off.

And ain't it mighty funny
that... That the fire breaks out

just when we don't have
any water to fight it.

Water wouldn't have
done much good,

the way that fire went.

Who do you think
did it?

But Frank Travis,
he's been a friend

of Pa's and yours, Ma,
for a long time.

Ever since we was little
back in Illinois.

But he and Cal been quarrelling
ever since you left.

What about?

Anything,
everything.

He took the high ground
up above,

now wants to spread out
down here.

It's the only place left.

I don't believe
Frank done that.

And who do you think did it?

I believe it was an accident.

Accident.

Well, somebody stopped up
this creek here.

Yeah.

Danny,
where you goin'?

I'm gonna have a talk
with Frank Travis.

Won't do no good,
I argued myself hoarse.

I don't plan to argue.

He's got two new men now,

with guns.

We got three,

now that makes it
even odds.

Danny, no.

Don't you worry, Ma.

Don't you worry
about anything.

We'll handle it.

You comin', Cal?

Cal, don't start
nothin' up there.

Who you worryin' about,
Ma, me or Dan?

Both. I don't want
no more fightin'.

Travis started it.

Calvin, if Frank really wants us
to get out we will.

You tell him that.

Are you crazy, Ma?

I'll tell him no such thing.

There it is.

He's pondin', just like he said.

Yeah, the water'll run over and
fill the creek in a few days,

but that doesn't do the herd
any good right now.

Well, it's even odds,
you said.

Let's go tear it down.

I aim to talk
to Travis first.

I'm through talkin'.

Let's tear it down
and be done with it.

Now, you listen, Cal...
Who's in charge here?

Looks like you still are.

All right,
come on, then.

Now you know why I wasn't
anxious to hang around home.

All right, let's get some
of those middle bags down.

You touch one of them sandbags

and you'll never touch
nothin' again.

Flora, go get your pa.

Hello, Flora.

Danny.

When'd you get back home?

I'm just passin' through.

Better run
and get your pa.

We need to talk.

She's a real pretty girl.

Cal thinks so too.

I thought you'd be married
by now, brother Cal.

What happened?

I don't see where
that's any of your business.

You've got a real friendly
brother there, Dan.

Oh, listen, Cal,
I told you never...

Hello, Mr. Travis.

Flora never said
a word about you.

It's good to see you,
boy.

What you doin' here?

I'm passin' through
with a trail herd.

The cow business is good
for you, it looks like.

Well, that's why
I'm here now, Mr. Travis.

Our cattle's gotta have water,

just like Cal and Ma do.

You know, they could've used
that water last night.

Yeah, I know,
l... I'm sorry about that.

Sorry? You set that fire
or you had it set.

You know I wouldn't do
a thing like that, Dan.

Wouldn't you?
Why don't you tell him

how you're trying
to run us out?

It ain't your ma, Dan,
or you while you're here,

but I admit I'll be glad
to see the last of him.

You take it easy, Cal.

You don't believe
I set that fire, do you, Dan?

No, I don't, Mr. Travis.

We got there
as quick as we could

but it was too late to do much.

Yeah,
especially without any water.

Well, who are you?

Rowdy Yates, ramrod
for the outfit I ride for.

Seems kinda strange
that the fire breaks out

right after you shut
the water off.

I got my own ideas
as to how that fire started.

What do you mean?

I don't wanna say.

I want you to say, Mr. Travis.

Ask him.

He thinks I caused it.
He... He thinks I was drunk.

You'd been drinkin'.

You were mad at me

and you started early
last night.

I was asleep, I tell you,
both Ma and me.

I woke up to the smoke
and the flames.

I'm not on trial here.
You are, you stopped the water.

Only for two or three days,
I'm pondin'.

I need more water for my stock.

I warned you
to fill some barrels

for a few days supply,
but you wouldn't.

I didn't know you were coming
through here with a herd.

And I didn't know
there was gonna be any fire.

I guess there's no blame.

Well, maybe not
but we got 3,000 head of cattle

and we can't bring 'em
all the way up here.

We're gonna have to let
your dam down.

You're gonna?

That's right,
you can rebuild it.

We might even help you,
but we need water, mister.

We'll fight for it
if we have to.

We don't want one though.

Well, I don't want
a fight either.

Let it down.

Thanks, Mr. Travis.

Dan, I was kinda hoping
you'd stay home now.

I'm just passin' through.

I was afraid of that.

All right, let's get
these middle bags down.

I'll take a look up here,
see how far they're pondin'.

I'll take the horses
and put 'em over here.

All right, good.

Come on, Cal,
it's your job too.

Look out!

Watch what you're doin'!

I'm sorry,
it was an accident.

Are you hurt?

I think
it might be broken.

I said I'm sorry.

Will you come on down
and help me lift him?

All right.

Easy, easy.

Mr. Travis!

What happened?

Accident.

Can we take him
inside the house?

Sure, sure, bring him in.
Flora, fix up the settee.

Right over there,
boys.

Where's he hurt?

My ankle.

Dan, why don't you go
get Mr. Favor,

have him bring Wishbone?

Wishbone'll know
how to doctor this.

All right.

Make use of the back.

We'll let that water down,
don't you worry about it.

Thanks.

Come on, Cal.

Feel better now?

Yeah.

You sure have the touch.

You know,
on the trail ride

we don't see a girl
as pretty as you are very often.

Doesn't seem
to bother Dan much.

How long have you known
Dan and his brother?

Oh, we grew up together.

Of course,
I was a lot younger then.

He didn't notice me
at first.

Yeah, I don't know
what got into Dan,

goin' away
and leavin' a girl like you.

Well,

he wanted to see
somethin' of the world.

Well, I guess he saw it

if you... You wanna call it
lookin' at the south end

of a bunch of northbound cattle.

Well, anyway, it ain't fair.

A girl just can't up and go
anytime she pleases.

No, not unless
she's got a husband

or someone to take her.

You married?

No, I'm not.
I'm not fixin' to either.

I got a little
of the world to see myself.

You men.

What about, uh, Cal?

What about him?

Well, he... He don't get along
with your pa much.

Has that got
anything to do with you?

I really don't know.

Are you scared of him?

Scared of Cal?

Mm-hm.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Come on in.

Hey, hello, boss,
how are you?

Well, well, well.

I brought the horse liniment,
that ought to cure you.

Take a look at that.

You sure you didn't
do this on purpose?

Well, you wouldn't blame me if
I would with a nurse like her.

This is, uh,
Flora Travis.

Miss Travis.

Oh! Take it easy,
will you, Wishbone?

He's been spoiled.

Been a long time
since you come here.

I come to see Mr. Yates.

How is he?
Oh, he ain't bad hurt.

Flora's tended him.
Their man's there with him now.

I see the water's comin' down.

You agreed to that?

Margaret, I'm... I'm sorry
about all that happened.

Especially the house burnin'.

It weren't no great house.
We can build another.

Cal tells me
you tryin' to run us out.

Now, that ain't so.

You and me been friends
a long time.

That ain't changed,
I hope.

No.
That's good.

'Cause I'd hate to think
that after you and Josh

and me and Effy had been
such close friends

all those years that...

Well, I got to admit though,
that older boy is a tribulation.

I just don't know
how two brothers

can be so different
as him and Dan.

Yeah, they are.

l-I don't know
what it is about Cal,

but I swear that boy's
got a devil in him.

So did you have
when you was his age.

Maybe that's it.

Margaret, it ain't no matter
for a joke.

I got to admit

that I'd be almost glad to see
the last of Cal.

Because of Flora, you mean?

Well, if it was Dan,
I'd feel different.

Well, maybe Dan'll stay.
Maybe he'll see he's needed.

I hope so.

Well, it ain't broke,
but it's a bad sprain.

He isn't gonna ride
for two or three days.

All right, wrap it up.

We better get him
back to camp.

Oh, do you...? You think
I ought to be moved?

W-well, I think
maybe he ought to get some rest

and keep off that ankle.

Ma Fletcher.

Oh, I'm so glad.
It's been so long.

Yes, it has, Flora.
Come sit down.

All right.
How's Mr. Yates?

Uh, l-I'll live,
ma'am.

Absolute rest,
the best thing for it.

How long?

Oh, at least two days.

Well, he can stay
right here, sir.

We'll be glad
to look after him.

All right, then,
you've got a boarder.

You catch up
when you can ride.

Well, we've got grass now

and... And plenty of water, uh...

Well, we've been pushing
the herd pretty hard lately.

I thought as long
as I've gotta be here...

Now what are you
pushin' for?

Well, Mrs. Fletcher's
house burned down,

and I thought we could take
some of the men, maybe,

and we could rebuild it?

God bless you, son.
I wouldn't ask such a thing.

Oh, well,
don't have to, ma'am.

We're all friends of Dan's,
and they wouldn't mind.

Would they?

It'll be up to them.

Uh, well, you just give them
the chance.

That I'll do.

Thanks, Mr. Favor.

I might know
the kind of man you was.

Dan thinks
a lot of you.

That's mighty good
of you, Mr. Favor.

My men and I
will be glad to help too.

You?

Cal.

I'll see you first thing
in the morning, then.

I'll stay
the night with Ma

if it's the same to you,
Mr. Favor.

Sure. Um,
see you in the morning.

Margaret,

won't you stay here
till the house is finished?

Oh, please stay.
There's plenty of room.

We can take care
of our own.

I'd better not.

Thank you though.

At least stay
for supper.

Come on, Ma.

Thank you, Frank,
Flora.

Uh, Flora, I didn't get
a chance to say it,

but you're lookin' fine.

Thanks.
So are you.

Yes, sir, he sure is.

Went away a boy,
come home a man.

You can see
your ma needs you here, son.

Oh, I got a job,
Mr. Travis.

I signed to stay on
to Sedalia, Missouri.

You can quit when there's need.

There won't be much
once the house gets built.

You're still not ready
to settle down yet.

You wanna roam,

see the world.

Well, I don't blame you.

I'd like to roam myself,

only it ain't respectable
for a girl.

She's been like that
ever since you left.

She's been like that
since she was so high:

I envy you,
her cookin', Rowdy.

Well, I guess
there's some good

in every misfortune.

Take it easy, Dan.

Good night, Mr. Travis.

Whoa.

We'll have something cooking
in no time, Ma.

Not for me, Dan. I'm tired,
I just wanna lie down.

I got a place fixed up
in the feed room.

We can stay out here
in the straw.

All right.

Do you mind
if we talk?

Talk.

I'd like to have a little
conversation about a rock,

just accidentally fallin'.

You don't think
it was an accident?

Well, maybe I got
no other way of thinkin'.

What else you wanna talk about,
little brother?

Was it accidental?

I said it was.

Now, what are you
carryin' on about?

All of a sudden you come
back here for no reason.

And the fire?

You're gettin' me madder
and madder, little brother.

And if I keep it up
you'll whup me,

just like always, is that it?

Like I always do,
you deserve it.

Would you mind sayin' why you
and Mr. Travis are fightin'?

You think that's
any of your business?

You think it's none
of my business?

Y-you know,
when you ran out of here,

you got no more rights.

You gave 'em up.

It's your own doin'.

You know, you ain't married yet.

And the way she keeps
lookin' away from you,

it looks like maybe
you ain't gonna be.

What about that?

She'll marry me, all right.

I don't believe you.
Then don't.

l-I only wanna know one thing.

Are you figuring
on staying here?

I hadn't, but I think I will.

You wanted to get out.

You wanted to see the world,
be a big man.

Well, you done it.

Now, don't come
crawlin' back here,

tryin' to spoil things.

What things?

She was always a... A good thing
for you, wasn't she?

Ma?

Here I thought
she was favorin' you.

You know I have to keep
reminding myself

you're my brother.

Well, forget about
reminding yourself.

You forget about everything

except you're just
passin' through.

You said it yourself.

That's right,
that's what I said.

I guess you've been to a lot
of big cities, Mr. Yates.

Well,
I've been to San Antone.

Couple others,
New Orleans.

Well,
tell me about them.

What do you want me
to tell you?

Oh, the fun,

excitement of each.

All the people.

What you liked
the most.

Hm.

I like... I like bits
of all of them, I guess.

I've gotta go
to someplace like that.

I wanna see it,
just once.

Well... Well,
maybe you will someday.

Someday?

Well, I don't intend to wait.

I may just go off
and find a-a job.

There must be jobs
for somebody like me.

Yeah, a-a pretty girl
can always

get a job in the city.

But not the kind of a job
for a girl like you.

How do you know
what's right for me?

In the big city?

In a very large city.

Well... all right.

Don't think you'd make it.

Oh, of course I would.

I'd make a very good
waitress.

Yeah, you sure would.

Or saleslady.

Mm-hm.

Or whatever girls do
in big cities.

They do lots of things.

They do?
Mm-hm.

Then what's the matter
with Dan?

Who's Dan?

There.
What was wrong with that?

Not a thing.

Dan wouldn't like.

Who's there?

I don't know.
What was that?

Flora?

It's Cal.

When Pa finds out...

I'll be back.

Cal, you oughtn't
to be here.

Pa warned you.

I don't pay any attention
to what your pa says.

Don't touch me.

I told you,
I don't like you to touch me.

Oh?
Now, what do you want?

I want your answer.

I don't have an answer.

I been waiting for a year,

and...
And it's gotta be now.

And it doesn't have to be now.

And even if I said
I'd marry you,

Pa would never let it be.

He says that you'd
never, ever see me again.

Heh! It doesn't matter
what your pa says.

He doesn't have to know
what we do.

That's what you think?

You can't stop us,
Mr. Travis.

I warned you
to stay away from her.

Now I'm gonna have to whip you
to show you I mean what I say.

Now that kinda evens things out,

doesn't it?

Hey, Fletcher.

I don't like to butt in, but
this thing's liable to go off.

You leave her alone, Cal!
You hear?

Thanks, Mr. Yates.

He ain't
a fit man for you.

Well, what's the matter
with him?

You're not to have
anything to do with him.

I'm not?

All right, we'll use
the old foundation.

First of all,
start clearing that mess away.

Then start hauling lumber.

Using the old foundations
won't be long.

Soon as we
get the debris cleared away.

You're a drover, Mr. Favor.

How come you know
how to build a house?

Well, I had to help put together
one of the ones I grew up in.

Know a few tricks
about it.

We'll have a snug, warm house up
in no time at all.

Almost as good
as the old one.

Well, we sure thank you.

"As good as the old one,"
he says.

I don't know.
The old one had memories.

I ain't got nothing left
of your daddy's.

You have his sons.

I have you.

And Cal.

No, not Cal.
Ma.

Danny.

I know I shouldn't ask you, but
if you could see your way clear

to stay here...
If I stayed here,

there'd still be trouble
between Cal and me.

Yeah, well...

Maybe Cal feels like
we can't get together

without troubles starting.

And that's my fault.

Ma,
how did that fire start?

Cal was drunk.

I don't know,
maybe he knocked over a lamp,

or maybe he busted on purpose
in one of his rages.

When I found him,
he was staggering around

the smoke and the flame, like he
didn't wanna get away from it.

I took him out.
He didn't give me no trouble.

Danny, please.

Don't say it, Ma.

God knows you don't want Cal
around, you want me.

But you can't
have both of us.

And this is Cal's home,
ain't it?

It is, ain't it?

Danny?

They leaving?

Mm-hm.

Going down
to help build the house.

Aren't you afraid?

No, I'm not a-scared
of you.

Why not?

Flora, you wouldn't know how
to be bad if you wanted to.

Oh, is that so?

That's so.

Now, the on... Only reason
you're giving me the eye

is because you're an unhappy
girl, isn't that right?

You know a lot of things,
don't you?

I know one thing.

You think the man you want
doesn't want you.

Well, you're wrong.

Then why'd he leave?

Why'd he run away?

Why don't you
ask him that?

He said there was
nothing left here for him.

You've hardly even talked to him
since he's been back.

He said he was just
passing through.

I should think a girl would
be able to change his mind.

Especially one
that kisses like you did.

I'm sorry about that,
Mr. Yates.

I'm not.

You know, I bet those men
down there

would fall all over themselves
for a cup of coffee.

Well, maybe I'll take
your advice.

Maybe I won't.

Flora,
you didn't have to do that.

Oh, I thought maybe they'd be
needing more than one...

One pot of coffee.

Let's put her over on the fire
and then pour it when they want.

Well, l... I think maybe I better
pass them around.

Hm, just as you like.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

You can see, can't you?
I brought some coffee.

You came here to see Dan,
didn't you?

Now listen, Flora.

I'm warning you.

You stay away from him,
you hear?

You listen, Calvin Fletcher.

I'm not taking any orders
from you.

You got no rights over me.

You just remember that.

Cal.

What'd you do to that girl?
You leave her alone.

Leave her to Dan, you mean.
If that's in her mind, yes.

She always did like him
better than you.

And if she don't want you,

there's nothing you can do
about it.

Why is everybody
against me?

What's wrong with me?

I'm just as good as Dan,
maybe better.

Cal, it ain't that.

It's you can't tell somebody
who to love.

Love is...
l-it happens in your heart.

It... It ain't a thing
you can force.

Well, I tell you something.

He's not gonna get her.

I've missed you.

After you left, l...
I was pretty lonesome.

Well, you had Cal.

Cal?

He says that, uh,
you're gonna marry him.

Well, he's crazy.

I never said I'd marry him.

Oh, you oughta know that,
Danny.

Well, I've been away a year.

Yeah, I know.

And after you left,
there was nobody but Cal.

I didn't think
there'd be anybody.

But I never said I'd marry him.

Danny?

Couldn't you stay?

You want me to, Flora?

Yes.

Pa would like it,
and... And Ma, she needs you.

And what about Cal?

Oh, no,
Cal wouldn't like it.

Danny...

you're not afraid of Cal,
are you?

Well, I guess I am.

Well, I never thought
you were a coward.

Afraid
of what he might do.

Maybe I am a coward
when it comes to Cal.

He used to beat you
when you were younger.

But you always stood up
to his bullying.

Well, it's more than that now.

Well, you know how much
you mean to Cal?

Yeah, well,
that's not my fault.

Even if it was?

Danny.

What are you thinking?

I wouldn't blame you, Flora.

Do you think that I gave Cal
any cause to...?

Well, you were lonesome,
weren't you?

Flora, wait a minute.

Cal.

Margaret, I...

I ain't as young as I thought
I was. My back is killing me.

I'm gonna have to sit down here
and rest a little.

Well, I thank you, Frank,

for coming here
to help.

I hope we can
patch things up.

You know it ain't right
for close friends like us,

especially now
that we're both alone.

There's a thing
stands between us.

What's that?

It's something maybe I should
have talked about

a long time ago,
but now I got to.

Even if it means
I break my promise.

Promise? Wh-what promise,
Margaret?

To Carrie.

Carrie. My first wife.

It was on her deathbed.

You'd run away,
deserted her all those months.

She figured you was dead.

Well, Margaret,
l-I was wild in those days.

And you know, l...
Well, I meant to come back.

Anyway, I was her best friend.

Only one she had to turn to.

You never did know, did you,
what she died of?

Well, the letter said a fever.

Childbed fever.

Child?

You left before she knew.

You was gone all those months,
you never did write.

So she didn't want you to know
ever.

That's why I promised her

you'd never know
who your son was.

The child lived?

He still lives...

with the only mother
he ever knew.

Cal is your son.

Carrie was near dying.
She didn't know where you was.

Josh and I figured we
never could have any children,

so we agreed to raise him
as our own.

Carrie wanted the boy
should never know.

Didn't want him to know
he was an orphan.

I tried, I...

I don't know.

Maybe I failed in that.

And you let me come here

and settle right here
beside you.

Well, there was nothing to do
short of telling.

Josh is your best friend.

He couldn't hold
nothing against you.

And you kept quiet
all those years

after what I did
to Carrie.

Well, Frank,

ain't none of us free
from error.

And you've lived a good life
since then.

With Flora?

She and Cal are brother
and sister?

Half, yes.

That's why I had
to break my promise.

That's why you gotta
do something.

But what, Margaret? What?

I've tried to stop it,

but the more I stand in the way,
the meaner he gets.

He's wild, Margaret. Wild.

And now I know why.

What about Flora?

It's Dan she wants,
but if he leaves again, l...

She's a grown woman.

She wants marrying.
You gotta tell her, Frank.

Or the boy.

Just don't wait too long,
it'll be too late.

Cal, what...?
What are you doing here?

I've come for you,
Flora.

What do you mean?

I told you
I'm not waiting any longer.

Well, listen, Cal.

Uh, I'm sorry,

but I just don't love you.

It's Dan, ain't it?

No.

Well, l-I don't know.
What...? What does it matter?

It matters to me, Flora.

You can learn to love me.

Oh, no, Cal. l...

I'll make you come along,
Flora.

You just can't carry me off.

Well, I can if I have to.

Well, my pa'd get after you.

Oh, no.

Not your pa nor Dan.

I'll kill anybody who tries.

Well, you just don't do things
like that.

Well, you can't make me
marry you.

Well, maybe I can.

If you don't marry me, I'll...
You'll what?

I'll have to kill Dan.

You're crazy.
I am, Flora.

That's the way
you made me.

Now, you better
come along with me.

No!

Now, now,
don't make me hurt you, Flora.

Just come along easy.

Get the horses ready,
we'll ride into the county,

and we'll get married.

You won't regret it.

Ma! Flora!
It's your pa.

Let her go, Fletcher.

Come on.

Well, at least he didn't
get to the horses.

I'll get my rifle.

Rowdy.

Fletcher, he... He's got Flora
out there on the rocks.

He's picked a good spot.

It's gonna be hard to outflank.

Flora.

They're all down there.

Dan, Pa, that cowboy.

Cal, you gotta give it up.

They'll kill you.

Not until I get Dan.

I promise you that.

And your pa.

Oh, don't, Cal, please.

Well, there... There is one way.

You can marry me.

Then there wouldn't be
no more shooting.

Wanna promise that?

That's fine by me.

Mr. Travis?!

I wanna talk to you!

All right, Cal.
I'm coming up.

Travis, you better not.

I have to, Mr. Favor.

That's far enough.

Cal?

You gotta come down.

Sure,
I'll come down.

If you let us
go through.

Let us get on those horses
and ride out of here.

We're gonna get married.

No.

Oh, yes, Pa. Yes.

Please.
Flora, I can't.

I can't let you.
It's impossible.

No!

Cal.

You don't understand, boy.

She's your half-sister.

You're my son.

She?

Me?

You don't know
what you're saying.

You...
You wouldn't say something...

You wouldn't say something
like that

if you knew
what you were saying.

Now, come on.
Now, come on, tell me...

Tell me that you don't know
what you're saying.

It's true. I just found it out.

I'm your father.

You're crazy.

You're all crazy!

None of you
know what you're saying!

I'm better off.

I'm better off with none of you.

I don't wanna have nothing to do
with any of you.

Ma wanted
to say goodbye, Mr. Favor.

And thank you again
for the house.

It was our pleasure,
ma'am. Really.

What about Cal,
Mrs. Fletcher?

Well, he's gone.

For good, I guess.
I should have stopped him.

Maybe I could've.

I doubt that,
Mrs. Fletcher.

No, when he was younger,
he needed more care.

And I'm to blame for that.

His pa and I
got a lot to answer for.

How is Mr. Travis?

Oh, he'll pull through
with Flora nursing him.

Say, Mr. Favor,

I guess I better stay here
and take care of Ma now.

I've already got it figured up
what you got coming, boy.

Oh, no, Mr. Favor.

I agreed to finish
that cattle drive.

If you're going to a wedding,
you're going to need this.

Thank you, Mr. Favor.
Goodbye.

Bye, Rowdy.
See you later, Dan.

See you
on our way through.

You know, I kind of feel sorry
for old Cal,

wandering through the world,

looking for something
he's never gonna find.

Maybe he will.

I don't know.
I don't think so. Not Cal.

It happens to a lot of people,
I'm afraid.

Yeah, but some of them seem
to need it more than others.

Yeah.

Say, uh, how's the ankle?

Oh, fine. I'd forgotten
all about it, I think.

Well, you gotta admit,
she's a real pretty girl.

Head 'em up!

Move 'em out!

Rollin', rollin', rollin'

Rollin', rollin'
Rollin'

Keep rollin', rollin'
Rollin'

Though the streams
Are swollen

Keep them dogies rollin'

Rawhide!

Through rain and wind
And weather

Hell-bent for leather

Wishin' my gal
Was by my side

All the things I'm missin'

Good vittles
Love and kissin'

Are waiting at the end
Of my ride

Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on

Move 'em on, head 'em up
Rawhide

Let 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, let 'em out

Cut 'em out
Ride 'em in

Rawhide!

Rollin', rollin', rollin'

Hyah!

Hyah!

Rawhide!

Hyah!

Hyah!
