Return to Lonesome Dove (1993): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Forge - full transcript

Near as I figure,

We're pretty close
to the nations.

A herd this size
ain't gonna go unnoticed.

We best break out
the extra hardware

When we bed down tonight.

We got a river up ahead.

Good.
We'll camp there.

In the morning,
we'll follow the riverbed

So we don't kick up
no dust.

It forks left,

And it carries all the way
to the Canadian.



Amigo, could be
one of them times

When we find out what
your vaqueros is made of.

We'll see.

Come on, Dolly.
Move on, move on.

Come on, Dolly.

Get on up there, girl.
Get on up there.

Hey, Sara.

Get on--Yeah?

Whoa! Whoa!

Where are the kids?

Oh, they're having fun.

Made some friends...
learning Spanish.

Hey, that's good.

Here's Isaac's food.



What's in it?

Now, you just let it be.

Poor man, he can't wash,
he can't talk.

Least he might as well
say he eats good.

Yah!

Where's Isom going?

He's got
his brother's supper.

He's gonna stash it
in the trees up ahead

So's that Isaac
can pick it up

Without getting
too near any of us

And taking the human
smell back to the herd.

They trust him
completely.

Well, he won their
confidence slow and easy.

Takes them to fresh grass.
he leads them to water.

I imagine right about now,
they'd follow him anywhere.

Must be good to feel
that safe with someone.

Have you never felt
that way with a man before?

A man? No.

Not even your pa?

I never knew him.

My mother was killed
when I was 6.

I'm sorry.

Bad memories.

White man.

Hurt.
Ohh!

Hurt.
Aah!

I need...

horse.

What happen...you?

I run...

arrows...Kiowa.

I need a horse.

Always nice and cool
down in that cellar.

There's lightning.

It's out to the north,
but, uh...

still no sign of rain.

Now, there's some
useful information.

Would you ever marry me?

Have a taste, July.

I think I've overdone
the cinnamon.

You don't have
to repeat yourself.

I heard you.

You going to give me
an opinion

On this cinnamon
or not?

Tastes fine.

I don't think you're much
of a judge of sweets.

If you're done
cradlin' those potatoes,

You might lavish
some of that attention

On your son.

He's been fretful
lately.

Martin.

Martin?

Come on, baby.

Up.

Up, up, up. Ohh!

Yeah, there.

Papa...

Pistol don't work.

Broke, see?

I need...good rifle.

Sister. Lodge empty.

Husband die.

Greasy grass.

Sons die.

Running face sickness.

I don't need no woman.

You need horse.
You want?

You take woman, too.

I can't care for her.

You come without fear.

She trust you.

I can't.

Must be.

I...not live long.

Protect my people.

You done right by me.
I owe you.

Of course, it don't
change who I am.

You fight my people.

All my life.

Comanche, Kiowa,

Mescalero Apache.

I ain't never been
a friend to your people.

I take many scalps...

like yours.

But always with honor.

Do you not fight
with honor?

I do.

Then our hearts
have same scar.

I lead my people

From camps
where trust die,

Where our spirits die.

I could not let my son

See me do nothing.

I honor
my father's deeds.

My sons honor
my deeds.

That is how honor...

is kept.

In our way,

It goes on...

in our children.

Howdy.

Found you.

Mr. Dunnigan
need me?

Guess he wouldn't have
hauled you out of jail

If he didn't think so.

You hungry?
I got food.

Not like what I brought.

You like peaches?

Well, sure.

How about cherry tarts?

I don't mind tarts.

Well, you better

'Cause I brought
a whole mess of 'em.

The roof looks nice.

Thank you.

I saw it needed
fixin'.

Gregor says you're
the hardest worker

He's ever seen.

Haven't seen enough of
you to say for myself.

I've been busy.

You've been hidin'.
Now come over here

Before
these peaches spoil.

You got nothin'
to be ashamed of, Newt.

Those men were outlaws.

The same breed's
been stealin' our stock

To start up
their own outfits.

They'd still be in jail
otherwise,

No matter how much
influence Gregor has.

I guess.

Well, I know.

So what
do you think?

Of what?

The operation--
Kenilworth.

Oh, it's--it's big.

Heh. I remember
the first time I saw it.

Where I came from,
it looked like heaven.

Pretty close.

Heh.

Awbonnie!

Where's Ferris?

Riding.

Do you think
it's strange?

What's that?

Gregor and I.

No.

Liar.

Everybody thinks
it's strange,

But they don't
know him,

And they don't
know me.

He's the first man
I could ever trust.

Can I trust you,
Newt?

I guess.

I think so, too.

You know, what you did
for me took guts.

What you did for
your friend Jasper, too,

Though I don't see

Why you put your life
on the line for him.

He doesn't seem
like the type

To do the same
for you.

Well, we come
a long way together.

That's worth something.

You good friends?

Like I said, we come
a long way together.

Newt...

will you be
my friend?

I need a friend.
Sometimes I think

I'm gonna go crazy
without one.

Sometimes I miss
the girls

Back at Harvey's
so bad.

That's the place I worked
in Kansas city

When Gregor found me.

I love Gregor...

but he's so old.

And there's nothing wrong
with that. It's just...

sometimes he makes me feel
so old, too, you know?

Guess you wouldn't.

Pea eye, my best friend,
he's old.

I don't like
feeling old.

But I guess it's better
than feeling used,

The way other men
made me feel.

Does that make
any sense at all?

I don't know.

Sometimes I think
I've gone crazy

And I just
don't know it yet.

You ain't crazy.

Bolivar--Our cook
back in Lonesome Dove--

Now, he got crazy
sometimes.

He talked to hisself...

to the wind.

Whacked an old bell
for no reason.

Now, he was crazy.

You ain't at all
like that.

Lonesome Dove?
Where's that?

Oh, Texas.

You miss it?

Well, it wasn't much
of a place, really...

Here, try this one.

It's got
more bang in it.

Whoa.

There you go.

Thank you, Newt.

Thank you for lunch.

Did you get it fixed?

Yes, sir.

I believe
it'll shed water.

You're in good company,
I see.

Yes, sir.

I want you to go
into town for me.

Whilst you're there,
you can get yourself

A new saddle,
bridle, bit...

whatever else
you might need.

How much is in here?

What you don't spend

You can bring back,
can't you?

Mr. Dunnigan, sir...

I don't need nothing.
I'll just do my job.

Nonsense, lad.
You represent me now.

Your appearance must
reflect your status,

Mustn't it? Hmm?

Away with you.
Go on.

Yes, sir.

That was awful generous
of you.

He'll pay me back.

He's honorable.

Come on.

There anything
you want me to do?

Well, I guess the doctor

Will be gettin'
here soon.

The doctor
might be goin'

In the other
direction.

This'll be over
before he gets here.

He'll have had the ride
for nothin'.

You mean,
the baby's dyin'?

I mean, he'll either die
or get well

Before the doctor comes.

I done all I can.

The rest
is up to Martin.

I hate it
when a child's sick.

I loathe it.

I get too scared.

It's like
there's somethin'

That don't want me
to get a boy raised.

He'll be fine.

Shall I, uh,

Fetch you
some coffee, or...

I know my way
to the kitchen well enough.

You'd have done better
to talk to me

When I needed it.

I guess I'm--

I'm just no talker.

You're not much
of anything.

But you could be.

I know you're smart
'cause Martin is,

And he didn't get it all
from your poor wife.

But a fence post
is more useful generally

Than you are.

Well, I've tried to help
around the place.

I'm not talkin'
about chores.

I'm talkin' about us.

I sit here alone
all night in this room

With your baby.

Where were you?

Uh...

ohh.

I wish now that
I'd been here with you.

I told you how
sickness frightens me.

The only times
I've ever wanted to die

Is when I've had to sit
and watch a child suffer.

I don't want
the girls to be here

'Cause I don't want 'em
to get death

Too much in their minds.

I sat here
and I thought,

"I'm alone."

And I can't help
this child.

If it wants to die,
I can't stop it.

I can love it
till I bleed,

And it won't stop it.

I hope it won't die.

I hope it can grow up
and have its time.

I know...

if I lose one more child,
I'll never care again.

I won't. Nothin' will make
any difference to me again

If I lose one more.

It'll ruin me,

And that will ruin
my girls.

I'll never buy
another horse,

Or cook another meal,

Or take another man,
or...

or I'll starve,

Or I'll go crazy
and welcome it,

Or I'll--

I'll kill the doctor
for not comin',

Or you for not
sittin' with me.

If you wanted
to marry me...

why didn't you stay
and sit?

Would you have ever
married me then?

I mean...

you never said.

Oh, July.

If we were in love,
we'd both know it.

I think you're
mistaking affection

For love.

I was in love once.

That's it for me.

I'd like to go on
bein' friends.

Yes, ma'am.

We'll be friends.

That's fine.

Mama...

look.

Indians.

No.

Only the woman.

I'll be damned.

Be obliged for water
for the horses

And the woman.

Ma'am.

Captain.

Newt here?

No.

I told him to meet me.

You come down
from your horse.

We'll get you
out of those clothes

And into a soak.
Then we'll talk.

You remember
July Johnson?

Hello, Captain.

July, show him
the bath house.

I'll get
the beds ready

And see
to the woman.

Cholo.
Si.

Well, what happened
to you?

Took a fall.

You still haven't
exactly said

Why you've taken
such a fancy

To Newt Dobbs.

Neither have you, lass.

But with the trouble
that's coming,

We're going to need
the loyalty

Of every young man

That's not afraid
to use a gun.

What do you mean?

Nature.

Living out here where
nature can't be tamed

Has taught me one thing.

To stand an even chance,
one's got to plan ahead.

I don't understand.

You will.

This Newt Dobbs,

He's got
some rough edges

Need polishing.

I want you
to sit him down,

Teach him to read,

Do numbers.

See if he's got
the knack.

Oh, and while
you're at it,

You can pick him out
some clothes.

The ones
that he's wearing

Looks as if they're
hand-me-downs.

Why are you asking me
to do all this?

I've got a feeling
about him.

I think
he's got promise.

Gregor...

I love you.

I love you, too, lass.

More than
the morning sun.

Looks like you lost
some weight out there.

Brought you
some of Bob's clothes

When you're ready.

Finally put them
to some use.

Your wife's sleeping.

First time
she ever saw a bed.

I ain't married.

I know Cheyenne custom.

You traded for her;
she's yours.

And proud of it too.

You don't know
nothing of the kind.

She told me
quite a lot.

Far as I can tell,
her name is many tears.

Sounds about right.

Seems she's had
enough hard times.

She says you came
into her people's camp

Half-naked and unafraid.

Well, she got
that first part right.

How did that come about?

She don't speak
no English.

How'd she come
to tell you all this?

I've traded
with the Cheyenne too.

She says
you been good to her.

I'm sure you'll be
very happy together.

I see why you and gus
were such a pair.

You both enjoy laughin'
at others' expense.

I see whatever calamity
you walked into

Hasn't changed
your disposition any.

I pity many tears.

It's a sad woman
needs anything from you.

I didn't want
to tell you right off

'Cause of your condition

But something's happened
with Newt.

This came.

You ought
to have told me.

Now if you'll step
from this room...

I'll dress to leave.

I...

I was fixing to buy some
of your better stock.

Isom Pickett
and Gideon Walker

Will be along shortly.

I appreciate you have
them take a look for me.

No sense looking.
You won't be buying.

I can send money just
as soon as I get to Montana.

I don't want your money.

Why's that?

I don't need it that bad.

There's no excuse
for bad manners.

I...

I owe you an apology.

Just the way it's always
been between us.

So you won't even
let me say I'm sorry.

We say good-bye.

Neither one of us have
a problem with that.

Fine, but I want
your woman to stay.

Thank you.

Welcome.

I'll have Cholo
saddle a horse.

And we'll take good care
of your wife for you.

I'll send payment
for all this

When I get to Montana.

Do right by giving Newt
your name at long last.

That'll be
payment enough.

Woman, how come you give
my brother more food

Than you give me?

I work much harder
than he does.

Now, just hush and go
hang this on Isaac's tree.

Here.

Bye.

They're almost letting us
in with them tonight.

Well, we come a lot
of miles together.

Maybe they're getting
to like us.

There he is.

Nothing against
your brother, Isom,

But I don't want to get
caught downwind of him

Till he gets
to a bathhouse.

La chiva.

Como se dice
en Aleman?

Aleman, no, no, no.
Ingles.

La noche esta oscura, si?

Como se dice en Ingles?

Carlos.

La noche
esta oscura.

The...night...

si.

is...

dark.

Si! Muy bien!

Si, the night is dark.

Gracias.
Thank you, Carlos.

Ahora.
Now...the moon.

Howdy.

Over here.

Whoa. Don't mean
to spook you.

That's close enough.

Don't mean no harm.

Food for your
mustanger?

I've seen that
done before.

Spare anything
from your cook wagon

For a hungry traveler?

We'll go over
nice and easy

So as no one
gets nervous but me.

Good night, Nathan.
Good night, Lizzie.

Good night, mama.

Got any food
left over

For a hungry
stray, Sara?

Biscuits still hot.

Mustangs,
you say.

Unbroke.

Meaning they ain't
worth nothing

To a horse thief.

Not unless he was willing
to work at breaking them.

Most horse thieves ain't
that interested in work,

I've noticed.

Maybe being a horse
thief is work enough.

just trying to
get a smile, Mr. Walker.

How is it
you know my name?

Gideon Walker--

Ranger with
Captain Woodrow Call

And Augustus McCrae.

Made Texas safe
for plain folk.

Like her and me.

Ain't that right,
sister?

True enough...

Mr. Jackson.

Cherokee
Jack Jackson.

Some people
call me that.

My mama,

She called
me Jackie boy.

Maybe she ain't heard
you got a price on your head.

Not in the nations,
sister.

White man's law
don't mean a damn here.

It does in this camp.

Relax, walker.

If I'd known
mustangs was here,

I'd have stayed
in my squaw's bed.

Well, we won't keep you up
any longer, Jackie boy.

Heh.

No, you won't.

Real good coffee,
sister.

Real nice smile,
too, I bet,

When it comes out.

Let's go.

Good luck, Walker.

Most men in the nations

Can't be as choosy as me
about their work.

Anybody hits this herd
will be hanged.

Heh heh heh heh.

The Mexicans fight,
can they?

They've been fightin'
Comanches for centuries.

They seem like
real soft people.

Especially that sweet
little teacher.

I may not be the law here,
but by god,

You are within a hair of
losin' your worthless life.

You pull it,
you'll be a long time

Runnin' down those
worthless broom tails.

Don't that break
your code, ranger?

Ain't I supposed
to be standin'

And facin' you?

Go on.

Get up.

You owe me
for a good gun.

You go now.

What is it?

I just had
a disturbing encounter

With an infamous bastard

By the name
of Cherokee Jack.

In camp?

It was Sara who
told me who he was.

Where is she?

She's all right.
She's at the wagon.

We'd best go find Isaac.

He should be eating that food
you hung up for him.

Let's go.

Come on, giddy-up.

Come on.

It ain't like him
to be so finicky.

Isaac!

What did she put in there
be so leaky?

Isom...

your brother
and me...

we never even
said hello.

I've never
felt more guilty

About a man's dying.

Don't.

I can't hold you responsible.

I'm going to go get him.

No.

He's mine.

You can't take that
away from me.

First, I got to finish
what Isaac started.

Hyah.

He's doing it.

Looks like.

Now you're going to do
something for me.

What?

You find yourself some
loose-fitting clothes.

You cut that hair.

Why?

Every man sees you,
including that dark Indian,

Takes notice.

We got enough trouble
with nature out here.

I don't want to go
courting any other kind.

I can take care
of myself.

You whack off that hair,

Or I'll whack it off
for you.

Senor walker!

I appreciate you
cutting your hair,

But I'm afraid
you wouldn't fool

A blind man.

Sara needs you.

What for?

The children are sick.

They all have fever.

She's over
by the wagon.

It's bad, Gideon.

He's got fever, chills.

His stomach hurts him
something awful,

And everything's running
right through him.

Is it
all the children?

Si. Everyone
except for Lizzie.

But they were
playing together.

I don't know what it is.

It could be they got
some bad food or water.

It happened a lot
in the army.

Doctors
call it dysentery.

Is he going to die?

Not if we keep
good water

Flushing through him
and I can get

To Fort Wallace
and back quick enough.

What's there?

They should have
a supply

Of something
called laudanum.

It comes from opium.
It slows up the gut.

I will go.

I won't let you
ride alone.

It will be faster.
I don't care.

I've been riding alone
all my life.

Those are my people.

They must be protected.

They need you here.

All right.

Look it there.

What's a greaser doing
this far north?

Corporal,
I'm glad you're here.

This young man's party

Is a half a day's ride
to the west.

This is an authorization
for medicine

To be taken to them.

I want you
to give it to the O.D.

In the infirmary.

Pick a man to ride
escort with you.

Ahem--
I'll go.

Fine.
Set out on the double.

Sir.

How come you jumped
at this duty?

You hate them damn mexicans
worse than I do.

I never knowed
a blue-eyed senorita before.

Take a look.

Take a good look.

That face ain't
never seen a razor.

When was the last time
you saw a backside like that

Walking around on a man?

You ready?

I'm ready.

You ready, Johnson?

Let's get moving.

Whoa! Ho!

Why are we stopping?

What's the matter?

Picked up a pebble,
got to work it out.

Well, we might as well
take this opportunity

To rest in the shade
while we got it.

Give me the medicine.
I will go alone.

I'm afraid
we can't do that.

The medicine's
U.S. property.

Yeah, the lieutenant said

We were supposed
to dispense it ourselves

And bring back the rest.

No, my people need
the medicine now.

You won't need that.

Come on down,
chiquita.

Them clothes can't hide
what you got under them.

Please don't do this.

My people are very sick.

Your people...

are dirt.

But you got the makings
of a damn fine poke.

No, no...go away.

Leave.

You are right.

But why make it
unpleasant, huh?

I like big,
strong soldiers.

I've had many like you.

Damn.

Come on, chiquita.

Come on down.

Hey... hey!

Hey.

Come here.

No, no, no.
Wait, wait.

Shh! Wait a minute.

I want to play a little game
with you, ok?

Just watch me.

I want to show you
something.

Huh?

Look at me.

Look at me.

First, I will show you.

Then you show me.

You like this game, huh?

Norteamericanos...

You are so...big.

I'll show you
something big, chiquita!

Gringos.

Did you get it?

How are the children?

They're pretty dried out.

This will ease
their pain, though.

You did fine.

Woodrow Call,
Hat Creek outfit.

You got one of my boys,
Newt Dobbs, locked up?

Another named
Jasper Fant?

They each shot a man.

I'll speak to them now.

Can't do it.
They're gone now.

You saying...

they's hanged?

Like to come to that.

Before somebody could do it,
they was paroled.

Mr. Gregor Dunnigan.

Who's that?

You just fall
from a tree?

The most powerful man
in the territory--

Kenilworth spread.

Had instructions
from the governor.

Out of my hands.

Paroled, you say?

Yes, sir.

Mr. Gregor Dunnigan.

Obliged to you.

Captain's back!
Yee-Hoo!

C-Captain?

Well, Captain, I swear,

I ain't never been
so tickled

To see nobody
in all my days.

Where's Newt?

Newt? He's, uh....

well...he ain't
with us no more.

Why? They hang him?

Did they hang him?

You said he's gone.

H-He is,
but he ain't.

Gone from the ranch.

He ain't hanged.

Dang it, Pea.

How did you let the boy
get into all this?

I left him in your care.

I made a telegraph.

Get your horse.

Yes, sir.

Poor folks really roughing it,
ain't they, Pea?

Ain't seen nothing
like it in all my life.

Howdy, Pea.

Captain.

Howdy, Newt.

Didn't know you were
back, Captain.

I'd have been over.

Got yourself
all cleaned up.

It's real good to see
the both of you.

Where's your friend
Jasper?

He's out
riding the line.

He'll be back.

What was you two
doing in a saloon

When I told you
to meet me at Clara's?

Captain, I'm real sorry
about that.

You can't know
how sorry I am.

Sorry don't get it.
You had a job to do.

Yes, sir.

Jasper and me
figured

We'd spend a night
in Miles City.

Jasper wasn't range boss.
You was.

Yes, sir.
It was all my fault,

But I never
figured on...

I'm listening.

How was I supposed
to know, Captain?

Can't you be happy

I didn't get my neck
stretched by a rope?

Newt

Is my horse ready?

Yes, Ferris.

Uh, Ferris,
this is Captain Call.

Ferris Dunnigan.

Miss Dunnigan.
Ma'am.

Actually, it's
Mrs. Dunnigan,

Captain.

Newt's told me

How much
he admires you.

And Pea Eye,
Newt says

You're a real
good friend.

Thank you, ma'am.

I trust you two
will stay for a meal

And meet my husband
later.

Thanks for the invite.

Kind of you.

Meanwhile, Newt,
why don't you

Fill him in
on all the excitement.

You ready to ride?

Mm-hmm.

It's good to meet
you all.

She part of all this
parole you're on?

Maybe Mr. Dunnigan

Might can
explain it better.

No, you can explain it
all you like

On the way back
to Hat Creek.

We're going now.

Afraid I won't be.

I'll talk
to Mr. Dunnigan first.

Got yourself in real deep,
didn't you?

I owe him, Captain.

Newt, you still
got your job,

You get on your horse
right now.

Come on, Pea.

Boy's head's
all turned around.

Lord, Newt.

I swear...

Ho!

Ho!

Ho!

What was that
all about?

He just wanted to make sure
things was all right.

Creek up ahead to the right.

Got some good high ground
for you on the other side.

What's for supper
tonight?

I call it
Sara's surprise.

I can't wait.

Hyah!

That lieutenant said that
2 men he sent with you

Were gunned down.

Said he found them
in a stand of trees.

Funny thing is,

they were, uh, all stripped down

to their drawers for some reason.

He was curious if you
knew how it happened.

I told him there was
no way you could

since you were here with me

When his men left
to go back to the fort.

Senor Walker--

I can't talk now.

I gotta show Isom
that creek.

Lizzie, see if they
need more coffee.

Gracias.

You never killed before?

No.

Well, it's not like
you planned it.

May God forgive me.

There's no need
to whip yourself.

I can imagine what happened.

But I have wanted...

I have
planned to kill...

I have thought
that killing

Would not be enough.

Gringos?

Rangers?

I've known a few I thought
about plugging myself.

There's an ugly breed

That gets drawn
to that line of work sometimes.

Was Augustus McCrae
one of them?

Why can't you leave old Gus be?

I keep telling you
they don't come

No higher caliber
than him.

I rode with Gus.

I trusted him
in all ways.

I wish...

I wish that it
was that easy...

what?

To trust.

You know, we keep an eye
on the sky awhile,

We just might see
a shooting star.

It's the season.

If we do,
you make that wish.

Might come true.

You never know.

Speaking of Gus,

One night, me and him
were sitting in a spot

Just about like this

On a night
just about like this,

And we both saw this old star
go whizzing overhead

Streaked across the sky
from east to west

Like some great rocket
on the fourth of July

And we both made
a wish at the same time.

Go on.

Well, we had one star,
but we had 2 wishes.

Now you got to figure

That one of us made our wish
quicker than the other.

Could have been me,
could have been old Gus.

So whose do you
think come true?

Yours?

Nope.

His.

What was that?

That someday,
he'd have a child...

a child
with his courage

And a burning curiosity
about him

And everything
he ever did or was.

Don't touch me.

All I meant to do
was give you

My shoulder to lean on.

Same as your daddy would
if he was here.

I hope Augustus McCrae
burns in hell.

"Come back, come back,

He cried in...grife"?

No, that's "grief."

Well, if it's "cried,"

Why ain't it "grife"?

Why isn't it?

Because "i" before "e"

Is usually
an "ee" sound.

A long "i" sound
like "cried"

Or "died" or "lied,"
that's an exception.

Are you paying
attention?

I'm trying to.

Is the shirt
I picked out for you?

I washed it
for the lesson.

It's nice.

It suits you.

I never had nothing
this nice before.

Neither had I
until I met Gregor.

Gave me everything
I thought I wanted.

What do you want,
Newt?

I just want
things to be right.

Did you ever want
something so bad

You'd do anything
to get it?

I want to talk
to Captain Call.

About what?

How much I owe
Mr. Dunnigan,

Why I'm here.

He thinks it's
because of you.

Is it?

I don't want him
thinking that.

Well, you better tell
Gregor first.

Newt, come in, lad.

What's on your mind?

Captain Call, sir.

Now, I owe him
a powerful lot, too.

I'd like to get
straight with him.

I thought I'd ride over.

Captain Call
doesn't seem to be

A very reasonable man.

Well, he's got
a narrow set of rules,

And I broke 'em
awful bad.

Tell me, has he ever
talked to you

About becoming
a Peace officer again?

No, sir.

He's given over
to ranching

For good, I believe.

That's a pity.

A man as hard as that

Could be useful
to the future of Montana.

How do you figure, sir?

This has always been
a wild country, Newt.

All these freebooters
moving in,

Filling up all the--
All the land.

There needs to be some
rules and regulations,

A new sense of order.

There's got to be
somebody

To enforce
that sense of order.

So you ride out
to Captain Call,

You tell him that he's
invited to join our roundup

With all the other
big spreads in the area.

Hmm?

You tell him that he's
more than welcome.

Oh, he ain't much
for big groups, sir.

I think it's important

Meet the other people

In the area--
In the territory, hmm?

Find out
who his friends are.

I know you'll make that
very plain to him.

Yes, sir.
I'll try, sir.

Good man.

Newt come back.

Newt's here!

Newt.

Hey, Ben,
Newt's come back!

Neil, Lippy,
it's been a long time.

Newt.

How you doing?

Pea,
it's good to see you.

Captain?

I need to talk to you
some more,

Just try to set things
straight a little.

Mrs. Dunnigan and I
are friends,

But I ain't there
because of her.

Explain quitting
the job I give you.

I didn't quit.

Me and Jasper
was in jail.

They was gonna hang us.

I sent you a telegram.

Then Mr. Dunnigan
come in

And said
we was paroled to him.

How'd you get in jail?

I tried to explain it
to you--

You're gonna judge me
as hard as you judged

Jake Spoon the day you
hung him, aren't you?

There's lots of Jake Spoon
in your behavior.

You might turn out
just like him.

You saying Jake's my pa,
Captain?

Well, I'd
a hell of a lot rathered

It was Jake than you

'Cause Jake knew people
could make mistakes.

Like my momma
the day she made me--

With you or Jake

Or somebody
I don't even know.

So if you're thinking
I'm a bad seed,

You go right ahead because
it's probably the truth.

And if I'm your seed,
it's dead certain.

That's what you
come to say?

You said it.

Mr. Dunnigan's having

A big roundup
at Kenilworth.

All the big outfits
throwing in together.

That's what
I come to say.

You be on your way.

Pea...

boys...

I hold nothing
against any of you.

You're all my friends.

But I ride
for Mr. Dunnigan now.

And that might
come to mean

We've seen things
the same way

For the last time.

Adios.

Let's get to work.

Ain't no law against work.

Hyah! Yah!
Yah!

Senora!

July, come quick!

Sally! Betsy!
Get out of the house!

Drive the horses
to the north range.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Aah.

Sally!

Sally!

Where are you?!

Betsy!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Come on! Whoa!

Aah! Unh!

Unh!
