The Young Riders (1989–1992): Season 1, Episode 24 - Gathering Clouds: Part 2 - full transcript

Well, I doubt very much
the good captain
will believe us.

Well, we gotta do somethin',
teaspoon.

Teaspoon.

The kid got lucky once,
but it's gonna run out.

I know that, son,
and I'm not sayin'
we'll leave him.

Well, I think that's enough
for one day.

I don't want to dampen
your enthusiasm.

You don't have to worry
about that.

I'm sure.
Goodbye, Jimmy.

So as to learn who they are

and where they're camped.



Well, he's done that.
Now we gotta tell
captain Lewis.

Pockets.

Very good, Jimmy,
you're really coming along.

Thank you.

Well, I think that's enough
for one day.

She has 2

po-po...

Pock, pock. Sound it out.

Pockets. I have 3

pockets.

I was, uh...

I was thinking
about your comments
concerning hawk.

I'm sure.
Goodbye, Jimmy.

Bye-bye.



Good afternoon.

Oh, James,

Well, the way I see it is
there are some rights
that nobody can take away.

All the hawk's saying
is that states
should govern themselves.

Oh, James,

I wonder if I could
have a word with you
before you leave?

The army's trying to hang him
for speakin' his mind,
that ain't right.

Hmm.

That's very well put.
You know, I'd like to, uh,

mmm-hmm. And if most folks
don't agree with you?

After all, in this country
the majority rules.

You know, there are not very
many people in this community
that share your sentiments.

Well, what's popular
ain't always what's right.

It's like you said
the other day,

we gotta judge
what's going on
for ourselves.

Mmm-hmm. And if most folks
don't agree with you?

Shall we say, uh,
tonight at 7:00,
livery stable?

7:00 it is.

Teaspoon, where's Jimmy?

That's very well put.
You know, I'd like to, uh,

discuss this further
if you'd care to.

I'd like that.

Shall we say, uh,
tonight at 7:00,
livery stable?

All the hawk's saying
is that states
should govern themselves.

The army's trying to hang him
for speakin' his mind,
that ain't right.

That ain't all he's working on.

Are, uh, you a good cook,
miss Annie?

Some people say so.

He says, uh...

Could you do that slower?

Would I

teaspoon, where's Jimmy?

With that new lady
schoolteacher.

That ain't all he's working on.

Would I

like

to see

Favorite.

Favorite

he says, uh...

favorite

Colt.

Hey.

So if you wouldn't mind
going into the back room
over there,

we'll be out before ya know it.

Come on, let's go. Move.

Your...

I found a book in town.
I thought it might help

our

new

friendship.

Very good. I couldn't do that.

That's real good.

Where'd you learn
all that signing, Annie?

I found a book in town.
I thought it might help

Mr. Stiles?

James.

Mr. Stiles?

Very good. I couldn't do that.

Me neither.

Either you're for us
or against us.

You're asking me
to make a choice.

No, it doesn't bother me.

You realize
that there's no halfway.

Either you're for us
or against us.

Hawk.

If that bothers you,
you can walk away right now.

No, it doesn't bother me.

You realize
that there's no halfway.

Either you're for us
or against us.

Comin'?

Gentlemen, James Butler hickok.

Wild bill to those of you
who believe everything
you read.

Gentlemen, James Butler hickok.

I thought you'd be, uh, bigger.

Mr. Hickok has decided
to join the cause.

Connors, show him
where he can sleep.

Aaron?

Hey,

What are you doin'?

Lookin' for you.

Listen up.

Jeffrey, Aaron,

lookin' for you.

Now we gotta find a way
to get out of here.

All right,
everybody gather around!

Saddled and ready
to ride at dawn.

We got that shipment
of rifles coming in

and I don't want 'em falling
in the wrong hands.

Jeffrey, Aaron,

I want 8 of our men,
8 of our best,

saddled and ready
to ride at dawn.

And I don't want 'em falling
in the wrong hands.

They went for their guns.

Did you enjoy that?

What are you doin'?

These are innocent people,
Jeff. They're farmers.

They went for their guns.

Come on, let's go. Move.

Sorry to barge in on you
like this, folks,

but, uh, we'll be needing
the use of your house here

for a little while.

So if you wouldn't mind
going into the back room
over there,

sorry to barge in on you
like this, folks,

- What's he doing?
- What's he doing?

All right, get in position.
Bluecoats are comin'.

Jeffrey.

God.

You got that woman
and her kids tied up?

Yeah.

Jeffrey.

We gotta get out of here.

We'll never make it.

Ah! Bluecoats. Let's get.

You folks all right?

Just fine now.
Thank the lord you're here.

Go after them.

Follow me.

Just fine now.
Thank the lord you're here.

Tie 'em up.

My god.
What's happened here?

Follow me.

Get off your horse.

Off your horse.

Do it.

Come here.

Down.

Tell captain Lewis
Jeremy stiles is the hawk.

His gang's camped up
on pine Ridge.

The army needs
all the animals it can get.

So you're takin' ours?

By order
of colonel Benton,
I'm rounding up 150.

You got not right
taking our horses, captain.

That's right. Yeah.

A new cavalry regiment
is being formed to help us
contain the hawk and his gang.

Nothing like getting shot at
by both sides.

How bad is it?

Nothing like getting shot at
by both sides.

Did you see this notice?

You got not right
taking our horses, captain.

By order
of colonel Benton,
I'm rounding up 150.

Now, anyone
with only one animal,

upon which they're dependent,
will be exempt.

Well, that's real nice of you.

The horses will be returned
or replaced
as soon as possible,

They killed John and Eli.
They just shot 'em.

We was ambushed.
They got the rifles.

A new cavalry regiment
is being formed to help us
contain the hawk and his gang.

The army needs
all the animals it can get.

The horses will be returned
or replaced
as soon as possible,

and you will be
fully reimbursed
for the inconvenience.

Upon which they're dependent,
will be exempt.

Well, that's real nice of you.

The horses will be returned
or replaced
as soon as possible,

captain,

if you ask me,
you're making it real hard
for folks

to tell you and the hawk apart.

We was ambushed.
They got the rifles.

To tell you and the hawk apart.

It was the hawk and his gang.

What do we do now?

Claire, you come stay with us.

These wounded men
out of the back...

It was only a matter of time,
marshal.

It was the hawk and his gang.

They killed John and Eli.
They just shot 'em.

What are you trying to do,
Jeremy? Destroy him?

Captain Lewis is doing
an excellent job of that
by himself.

It was only a matter of time,
marshal.

Now can I count on the horses?

You still want to go ahead
with the bank robbery?

What I want has nothing
to do with it.

Captain Lewis is doing
an excellent job of that
by himself.

I better go.

Mustn't keep captain Lewis
waiting.

We proceed.

But this could turn
the whole town against us.

Oh, I'm sure it will.

But we do have
other objectives at hand,
don't we?

Make sure that captain Lewis
discovers this.

It tell him that hawk
and his infamous band
will be gathering

what I want has nothing
to do with it.

To build an army,
we're gonna needs horses
and guns and money.

Oh,

make sure that captain Lewis
discovers this.

No.

At white's bluff
on Saturday afternoon.

While you steal his horses.

Are you sure about this,
Mrs. Greener?

We have family in St. Joe.

After what happened...

You weren't
Mrs. Stiles then.

Mustn't keep captain Lewis
waiting.

You're not jealous, are you?

Go.

Just a little concerned.

You weren't concerned
back in Kansas.

Are you sure about this,
Mrs. Greener?

It's him. That's the man
who shot my husband!

After what happened...

I understand.

Get out of the street!

Get out of the way!

Army's payroll, please.
We're in a bit of a hurry.

Make it fast, damn it.
Or you're gonna have a lot
of dead customers in here.

Get out of the street!

Army's payroll, please.
We're in a bit of a hurry.

Get out of the way!

Get down.

The kind who believes
in something.

What?

Slavery,

Let's go.
Stiles, he'll kill you.

My god.

Come on. You can't be caught.

Let's go.
Stiles, he'll kill you.

Vera!

No!

Vera, no!

He got away.

Do you have any idea
what you've done to me?

What is it, corporal?

Didn't he?

Slavery,

What kind of woman are you?

The kind who believes
in something.

He's a great man.

Under different circumstances,
I think you would really
like him.

Freedom.

White's bluff.

Hawk's mustering his raiders

at white's bluff
tomorrow afternoon.

What is it, corporal?

I found this
in miss Collins room.

Captain, you better
have a look at this.

And Jeremy stiles?

Under different circumstances,
I think you would really
like him.

Do you have any idea
what you've done to me?

At white's bluff
tomorrow afternoon.

She's dead, captain.

Did you hear me, sir?

Captain, you better
have a look at this.

We'll need 'em, won't we?

Here you go.

It doesn't matter now.

Jeremy?

What do you wanna do now?

If the money wins,

did you hear me, sir?

I'm sorry about Vera.

Look, you're hurtin' now.
Give that time.

Don't destroy everything
we've accomplished.

We all are.

If the money wins,

it may be the heart that loses.

You still
want the army's horses?

Horses?

No.

I came to help them, Aaron,
and they turned on me.

Here you go.

What about Sweetwater?

No.

You still
want the army's horses?

I came to help them, Aaron,
and they turned on me.

They didn't turn on you, Jeremy.

They were defendin' themselves.

It's time I taught
them a lesson.

Sincerely, Burton j. Lewis.

Lieutenant Maxwell.

Jeremy, that's crazy.

Vera's dead.

You don't know that.

We've accomplished nothing,
Aaron.

You don't know that.

Look, you're hurtin' now.
Give that time.

It's time I taught
them a lesson.

What kind of a lesson?
The kind you taught in Kansas?

We've accomplished nothing,
Aaron.

We haven't accomplished
anything.

If nothing else,
I'll destroy hawk's army.

Oh, and Maxwell.

I realize I have no right
asking yours

my carelessness
and dereliction of duty.

I therefore submit
my resignation as commander
of this company,

effective upon the arrival
of my dually appointed
replacement.

Sincerely, Burton j. Lewis.

There's no way
I can justify or excuse

my carelessness
and dereliction of duty.

Will there be
anything else, captain?

Yes. Have the men ready
to ride in white's bluff
tomorrow at noon.

Lieutenant Maxwell.

But I realize
I also may have stepped
on some toes around here.

Yes. Have the men ready
to ride in white's bluff
tomorrow at noon.

If nothing else,
I'll destroy hawk's army.

Have a courier deliver this
to colonel Benton
in fort miles.

I realize I have no right
asking yours

or anyone else's forgiveness
for my errors in judgment.

They're too serious for that.

But I realize
I also may have stepped
on some toes around here.

And I'm sorry.

Do you know him?

He's ordered the whole company
out to white's bluff

at noon today.

What about the horses?

He's just leaving
a couple men
to keep an eye on 'em.

What about my wife?

I got your letter to Lewis.

He's ordered the whole company
out to white's bluff

You'd better get on back
before you're missed.

Chasing ghosts,

we will complete
our mission here.

History will long remember us
and what we did in this place.

Right.

Be ready to ride at noon.

Yes, sir.

Just like Kansas.

Yeah, and Willow creek.

What're we gonna do?

And kill innocent people.

Gather the men.

Today, while captain Lewis
and his men are off

Don't do this.

We ride at noon.

Mark my words,

history will long remember us
and what we did in this place.

And kill innocent people.

Some of them
may even be your friends.

He's right, Jeremy.

I'm sorry.

By tomorrow, with success,

we'll no longer
be hawk's raiders,
we'll be an army.

Mark my words,

Some of them
may even be your friends.

But they have made it clear
by their actions

where they stand
and they must pay the price.

We can't wait any longer.
Can you ride?

I can ride,
if you can peel Jeffrey
off your shadow.

We ride at noon.

Sweetwater must serve
as an example
to the enemies of freedom.

I'm askin' you,

don't do this.

I don't know why I bought it.

Sometimes I think
the kid and me, you know...

I'm sorry.

Sweetwater must serve
as an example
to the enemies of freedom.

Yeah.

Maybe I should have.

We can't wait any longer.
Can you ride?

Don't worry, ike,
there's plenty of rings
in this world.

Ike.

You can't tell the kid about it.

I didn't tell him
I bought that thing.

Forward

on one condition.

You can't tell the kid about it.

But the way things are going',

i... i don't think
I'll be needin' it.

You take care of Annie.
She's a good girl.

March!

Maybe I should have.

But the way things are going',

You take care of Annie.
She's a good girl.

- Where you going?
- Where you going?

Ah, call of nature.
You mind?

I hope you don't
mind me watching.

Suit yourself.

Can you make it over there?

Just try and keep up.

Who's left to listen?
Lewis is gone.

That doesn't matter now.

But they'll warn the town.

Who's left to listen?
Lewis is gone.

I told you. I told you
they couldn't be trusted.

Just try and keep up.

Give me a hand.

Go back captain.
Hawk's men are riding
on Sweetwater.

I told you. I told you
they couldn't be trusted.

So hawk can take the horses.

And take revenge on the town.

Go back, captain. Please.

Lieutenant,
these men are under arrest.

Form an escort,
take them back to town.

My pleasure, sir.

Company halt.

Go back captain.
Hawk's men are riding
on Sweetwater.

You're either very brave
to be sacrificing yourselves
like this or very stupid.

We have an engagement
with the hawk.

Damn it, we're telling
the truth!

Macon was in on it.

You lying traitor.

Uh-huh.

And the food is very good.

I think we ought to do this
more often.

You're either very brave
to be sacrificing yourselves
like this or very stupid.

Sir, you don't understand.

There ain't no raid
on white's bluff.

It's a trick to draw
your men out

Forward march!

Oh, it is?

Well, what is it?
Somebody's birthday?

Go back, captain. Please.

Lieutenant,
these men are under arrest.

Forward march!

You lying traitor.

That's enough, corporal.

Mr. Maxwell,
remove the prisoners,

we have an engagement
with the hawk.

You don't say.

Now, uh, don't you think
that that's special, ike?

Well, this is very nice,
getting out like this,

isn't it?

Uh-huh.

Well, what is it?
Somebody's birthday?

There she is.

Well, perhaps occasionally,
but this is
a special occasion.

But I've got
some wonderful news.

Miracles do happen after all.

Now, uh, don't you think
that that's special, ike?

You know, I hear, uh, Henry
and Laura are planning
on getting married.

Henry and Laura,

you don't say.

You know, I hear, uh, Henry
and Laura are planning
on getting married.

Hawk's raiders are riding
on Sweetwater. Get ready.

Miss Annie lawfer,
it's my honor and privilege
to present to you

Kid, Jimmy, are you all right?

Get down from there, boy.

What's going on here?

There she is.

I'm sorry to disturb
you kind folks,

but I've got
some wonderful news.

There's a whole bunch
of riders
coming from the west.

And they sure
don't look friendly.

That's the hawk.

Miss Annie lawfer,
it's my honor and privilege
to present to you

Mr. Harold Jackson.

What're you gonna do,
lieutenant, put the whole town
in jail?

You have 10 seconds.

Rider comin'.

What's going on here?

We warned Lewis,
but the damn fool
wouldn't listen.

That's enough out of you.
I'm ordering you to disperse.

Who knows how to use one.

If anybody wants to leave,
better go now.

Hawk's raiders are riding
on Sweetwater. Get ready.

Kid, Jimmy, are you all right?

All right, quiet!
Calm down!

Where did you stockpile
your weapons, lieutenant?

That's enough out of you.
I'm ordering you to disperse.

What're you gonna do,
lieutenant, put the whole town
in jail?

There's a whole bunch
of riders
coming from the west.

All right, quiet!
Calm down!

You have 10 seconds.

I hope for your sake, son,
you got plenty of bullets.

Go get the army rifles
and plenty of ammunition.

Yes, sir.

Who knows how to use one.

We're gonna need
every gun we can muster.

The shed, behind
the captain's quarters.

Now clear the street.
Let's go. Come on.

Come on.

All right, we're on our own now.

As soon as you get a gun,
you get inside
and you stay there.

I never thought
I'd see you again.

Where did you stockpile
your weapons, lieutenant?

Damn it, stiles and his men
are gonna be armed
to the teeth.

We're gonna need
every gun we can muster.

Women and children
take cover inside.

All you men go get your guns.

All right, tompkins,
barnett, Charlie,

go get the army rifles
and plenty of ammunition.

The shed, behind
the captain's quarters.

All right.

Women and children
take cover inside.

What's he saying?

He wants us to go.

Sounds to me like
you could use all the help
you could get.

As soon as you get a gun,
you get inside
and you stay there.

Now clear the street.
Let's go. Come on.

Sounds to me like
you could use all the help
you could get.

We'll take the horses
on the second pass.

Don't do it, Jeremy.

Don't do this.

Nothing so becomes a man
as modest stillness
and humility.

But when the blast
of war blows in our ears,

whoa.

Whoa.

Whoa. Easy. Whoa.

Phyllis!

Whoa. Easy. Whoa.

Jeffrey,

Don't do this.

Nothing so becomes a man
as modest stillness
and humility.

Jeffrey,

do you remember Willow creek?

Kansas, wasn't it?

We'll take the horses
on the second pass.

But when the blast
of war blows in our ears,

then imitate the action
of a tiger.

Get ready, here they come.

Wishing I wasn't, mostly.

I thought the hawk
was trying
to make friends here.

Yeah, well, he stopped.

And I got a feeling
they're gonna be back.

We need to stop 'em.

And we ain't got time
to discuss it. Now go on.

Go on, get.

All right, now that we know
their positions,
give them no quarter.

What are you doing here?

Wishing I wasn't, mostly.

Hey! Whoa, whoa! Hey!

Jeffrey, take the horses.

And I got a feeling
they're gonna be back.

Halt! These horses
are army property.

I appreciate that, soldier,
but these towns people here
need 'em more

and we ain't got time
to discuss it. Now go on.

We need to stop 'em.

Yeah, well, I got an idea.
Let's go.

Turn back, turn back.

All right, now that we know
their positions,
give them no quarter.

Jeffrey, take the horses.

Halt! These horses
are army property.

You betrayed me.

Aaron. Judas.

Oh, my god.

Jeremy.

Stiles.

Are you all right, Jimmy?
Lou?

Annie all right?

- Ike?
- Ike?

Well, you do now, captain.
You sure as hell do now.

I was just doing my duty.

I didn't know...

Well, you do now, captain.
You sure as hell do now.

Macon!

Harold's a good man.

Well,

guess I better get going.

I hear that Dakota
territory's real pretty.

That's what they say.

I don't know
how to thank you, ike.

Guess I better get going.

I hear that Dakota
territory's real pretty.

Bye-bye, honey.
You take care.

You, too.

And you take care of her.

Rider comin'.

Cody, you're up.

Bye-bye, honey.
You take care.

Rider comin'.

Ride safe, ike.
