The Young Riders (1989–1992): Season 3, Episode 6 - Survivors - full transcript

Cody wants the reward the Army is offering regarding their weapons theft. He falls for a widow Julia, with her son Danny, who wants to break with her husband's gun running gang. Buck grieves the loss of his friend Ike.

You hardly touched your supper.

I'm not hungry.

Some say
the free staters did it.

I guess I was
kind of hard on 'em.

Well, you had no way of knowing.

Ike?

God, no!

Ike? Ike?

If he keeps grieving
for ike this way,
he's gonna get sick.

I'm gonna talk to the boy.

Well, you had no way of knowing.



Excuse me, I'm done.

You hardly touched your supper.

I know what you're feeling.

It's like this pain
inside you won't go away.

I'm gonna talk to the boy.

Want to talk about it?

No.

Want to talk about it?

I miss him, teaspoon.

It's like this pain
inside you won't go away.

You hope time will help.

Every day feels like
the day before till finally
it gets so bad

you just want to hit somebody.

Like you was trying
to tear the pain out
of you and put it into them.



Why'd he do it?

Don't matter why.
It happened.

Don't work that way.

You're holding onto your grief.

You got to let it go
or it will poison you.

I know.

We all do.

But that ain't gonna change.

Trouble is

Bunch of thieves looking
to profit from this
war talk, most likely.

South's gonna pay top dollar
for every gun they can
get their hands on

before this thing starts.

Ike didn't have to
die like that.

He got himself killed.

Don't matter why.
It happened.

You got to make peace
with that and move on.

I can't.

Boy, I could sure use
that reward money.

I wish I knew who did it.

Bunch of thieves looking
to profit from this
war talk, most likely.

Before this thing starts.

Feels like it already has.

They were carrying
a shipment of rifles
bound for fort kearney.

It's the third time this month
the army's had guns stolen.

Boy, I could sure use
that reward money.

We had our difference
now and then,
but always liked that boy.

Hey, tompkins, how much for
this knife here in the case?

The one with the tortoise shell?

That's genuine tempered steel.
It will last you a lifetime.

Hey, it looks pretty nice.
I think I'll take it.

The one with the tortoise shell?

Oh, you picked yourself
a good one, Cody.

That's genuine tempered steel.
It will last you a lifetime.

And one can of baking powder.
Anything else, boys?

Well, I think that's
all Rachel wanted.

You know, I've been meaning
to tell you guys how sorry
I was to hear about ike.

This is my store,
I'll sell whatever I please.

They're sacred.
You got no right doing this!

You got no right!

Get him out of here!

You know, I've been meaning
to tell you guys how sorry
I was to hear about ike.

We had our difference
now and then,
but always liked that boy.

They're medicine pouches.

You got no right to sell these.

This is my store,
I'll sell whatever I please.

Get him out of here!

You got no right!

Don't bring him back.

Somebody died for those,
tompkins!

Hey, it looks pretty nice.
I think I'll take it.

Good.

Where'd you get these, tompkins?

A peddler sold them to me.

They're medicine pouches.

I'll take, uh, hey,
where's that knife?

Hey, you, come here!
Hey, kid!

Hey, you! Come back here,
you little thief!

Somebody died for those,
tompkins!

I'm sorry about buck, tompkins.

He's just been all broken up
ever since ike passed away.

What knife?
I ain't got a knife.

Daniel.

Daniel, what's wrong?
What happened?

Nothing.

I caught him stealing a knife
from the general store, ma'am.

I'm Julia Tobin.
Please accept my apologies.

Daniel, you promised me.

You said this would
never happen again.

I'm sorry, Mr...

Gotcha.

Let go of me!
I didn't do nothing!

Give me the knife.

What knife?
I ain't got a knife.

I'm sorry, Mr...

Cody. William f. Cody.

I caught him stealing a knife
from the general store, ma'am.

He's lying!

Daniel, you promised me.

That's all right, ma'am.
There's no harm done.

I understand.

Daniel, I think you should
apologize to Mr. Cody.

Daniel's really a good boy,
but he's had
his problems lately.

I understand.

I'm Julia Tobin.
Please accept my apologies.

Daniel's really a good boy,
but he's had
his problems lately.

Daniel, you promised me
you'd stay out of trouble.

Ike?

Give it to me. Give it to me.

I appreciate your kindness.
Good day.

Daniel, you promised me
you'd stay out of trouble.

Ike?

Ike?

Go on get!

Not you.
Now, where's your mother?

Jesse, do me a favor
and tell teaspoon I'm taking
Daniel home, please.

No, you ain't!
I don't have to go
no place with you!

Oh, yeah?

Break it up!
That's enough!

Daniel, stop it!

I'm gonna get you!

No, you ain't! It's over!

Stop it!

Nice to see you
breaking up a fight
for a change.

Now, all you kids go on home.

Go on get!

Pull up! I said pull up!

Whoa!

Why were you fighting?

He called my father dumb puke.

Pry it open. Take a look.

Guns, damn!

You know, it's a good thing
I came along when I did.

Looked like that boy was
getting ready to whip you.

I'll make you a deal.
You go to school
every day for a week,

and you don't get in
any fights,
get all your lessons done,

about four years I'd guess.

Guns, damn!

So, how much schoolin'
exactly have you had?

About four years I'd guess.

Looked like that boy was
getting ready to whip you.

The heck he was.

Why were you fighting?

That sounds pretty bad.
What's that?

It's what they call
Missouri border trash.

Whoa! Good day, Mrs. Tobin.

Good day, Mr. Cody.
Is anything wrong?

Promise. It's got to be
between you and me. Deal?

It's what they call
Missouri border trash.

I had to fight him.

Oh, course, you did.
Fella can't let somebody be
disrespectful to his father.

That's why I did it.

Then, again, if you do
respect your father, you
ought to do what he'd want.

And I betcha he'd say
that your lessons
are more important

than sticking up for him,
don't you think?

Probably.

Well, then, that's what
you ought to do.

I'll make you a deal.
You go to school
every day for a week,

Keep it coming.

I'll give you this knife.

Promise. It's got to be
between you and me. Deal?

Deal.

What in heaven's
gotten into him?

Well, I don't know.

Good day, Mr. Cody.
Is anything wrong?

Daniel, have you
been fighting again?

No, I just saw Daniel back
in town and offered to give
him a ride home, that's all.

Say, Daniel, you want to do me
a favor and take
my horse for me?

Yeah!

See you later, Cody.
Got to study.

What in heaven's
gotten into him?

Well, you'll stay for a glass
of cider at least?

Sounds great. Would you do
me a favor and help me pile
some of this wood up here?

Why don't you let me give you
a hand with this wood?

No. Don't trouble yourself.
You've done quite
enough already.

No trouble at all.

Still some more room.

I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself.

This ain't nothing.

Sounds great. Would you do
me a favor and help me pile
some of this wood up here?

Keep it coming.

This ain't nothing.

There, that's enough.
Come get that cider.

My name's buck cross, ma'am.
I ride for the pony express.
I'd like to help you.

Don't touch him!

I'm warning you, you get away!
You hear me? You get away!

Easy, ma'am.
I don't mean you any harm.

I'll shoot you!
I swear, I'll kill you!

I'll kill you just like they
did my husband
and my brother.

Over here.

I'll kill you just like they
did my husband
and my brother.

Who did this?

Don't you talk!
Don't you say anything!

I'm warning you, you get away!
You hear me? You get away!

Easy, ma'am.
I don't mean you any harm.

Come on!

That knife, too!

Don't you talk!
Don't you say anything!

You throw that gun over here!

Come on!

You're gonna give 'em
a decent burial.

Be sure you do.
That's what your daddy
would want.

Come on, Daniel.
Back to your studies.

Daniel, you ever need
anything, you come see me,
hear.

My name's buck cross, ma'am.
I ride for the pony express.
I'd like to help you.

Oh, yeah? You're gonna help,
all right.

What are those?
What are you doing?

My apologies
for disturbing you, Julia.

But the army's getting
too close for comfort.
We need to hide these weapons.

You can't. I told you
I don't want to have
anything to do with this.

It will only be
for a short while.

What are those?
What are you doing?

It will only be
for a short while.

I've already lost a husband.
That's enough.

Brad would still be alive
if he hadn't joined you.

- You looking after
your mother like a told you?
- Yes, sir.

Be sure you do.
That's what your daddy
would want.

If the army finds out we
have those guns here,
they'll take our home.

You got a lot more
to lose than that.

I would hate for you to do
anything to cause
that boy more suffering.

Brad would still be alive
if he hadn't joined you.

He died fighting for a cause.
Don't shame his memory
by turning your back on it.

Hey, Mr. Kimball.

- How's my soldier?
- Good.

- You looking after
your mother like a told you?
- Yes, sir.

Hey, Daniel.
What brings you around here?

It's been a week.
I didn't have any fights yet.

Well, that's good.

Daniel, you ever need
anything, you come see me,
hear.

- Yes, sir.
- Good boy.

Please, leave us out of this.
I'm begging you.

If the army finds out we
have those guns here,
they'll take our home.

I would hate for you to do
anything to cause
that boy more suffering.

There he is!

That's him, all right.
Rider coming.

Why don't you come back
some other time.

Well, you said if
I went a whole week.
Our deal, remember?

Oh, that's right.
I guess I owe you that knife.

All righty. There you go.

That's him, all right.
Rider coming.

Here you go, Noah. Whoa!

I know a spot where the fish
almost jump in your pocket.

Look, Daniel,
I've been riding for two whole
days. And I'm pretty tired.

Here you go, Noah. Whoa!

Hey, Cody,
I've been waiting for you.

Hey, Daniel.
What brings you around here?

I didn't mean nothing by it.
I'm just tired, that's all.

I know. But you can't
expect him to understand that.

Well, that's good.

Well, you said if
I went a whole week.
Our deal, remember?

Hey, you want to go fishing?

Oh, no thanks.

I know a spot where the fish
almost jump in your pocket.

All righty. There you go.

Thanks, Cody.
This will be great
for whittling.

You know, my pa used to whittle.

Oh, yeah?

Hey, you want to go fishing?

He's been waiting
for you all morning.

The boy's so proud of himself,
he was just bustin'
to tell you.

He's been waiting
for you all morning.

Look, Daniel,
I've been riding for two whole
days. And I'm pretty tired.

Why don't you come back
some other time.

Hey, Daniel.

I know. But you can't
expect him to understand that.

You took on a responsibility,
Cody. That boy needs
somebody he can count on.

The boy's so proud of himself,
he was just bustin'
to tell you.

Look, Lou,
I gave him the knife, okay.

He didn't come for the knife.
He came 'cause
he wanted to be with you.

Dammit.

Cody?

Yeah?

You think a promise
lasts forever?

Now, where'd you say
that fishing spot was?

"Cody, Cody, I know a spot
where the fish jump out of the
water right into your pocket."

Do you mind tending
to my horse for me?

Hey, Daniel.

Well, you got to be educated
if you want to make
something of yourself.

There ain't gonna be
shooting forever, you know.

"Cody, Cody, I know a spot
where the fish jump out of the
water right into your pocket."

Even if the person
you gave it to ain't alive?

You havin' trouble
keeping a promise
you made with your pa?

I swore to him I'd finish
my schooling.

Only now I don't see
the point in it.

Don't worry, we'll catch one.

All right.

Cody?

About what?

You think a promise
lasts forever?

I know if a man
gives his word,
he ought to stand by it.

Only now I don't see
the point in it.

Why not?

What good's book learning
if folks is shooting at you?

You havin' trouble
keeping a promise
you made with your pa?

I know it would make your ma
happy if you stayed in school.

Has been as long as I remember.

Everybody says
it's gonna get worse.

What good's book learning
if folks is shooting at you?

Well, you got to be educated
if you want to make
something of yourself.

Come on, kid!

No, you're cheating.

I swore not to tell.

I don't owe ma anything.
She's the one who
got pa killed.

What?

Now, hold on, Daniel.
What are you talking about?

I know it would make your ma
happy if you stayed in school.

I don't owe ma anything.
She's the one who
got pa killed.

Come on, get ready!
Come on, pull!

Now, hold on, Daniel.
What are you talking about?

Ma was always fighting with him.

They was looking high and low.

Why did you have to go, marshal?

Pull, kid.

I caught one!

Cody, look at the size of him!
Yeah!

No, you're cheating.

Pull, kid.

- Marshal.
- And her son, Daniel.

Hello, son.

Where you been, teaspoon?

Oh, the army's giving me
the runaround.

You better get it quick,
the way these boys
been eating.

Oh, you remember Julia?

Nice to see you, ma'am.

- Marshal.
- And her son, Daniel.

Dessert's ready.

Hope there's some left for me.

You better get it quick,
the way these boys
been eating.

Oh, sorry.
That was clumsy of me.

Why did you have to go, marshal?

To serve the search warrant.

Of course,
if they'd found the guns

I'd a had to arrest
the hahns and confiscate
the place.

Oh, the army's giving me
the runaround.

They somehow got the notion
those stolen guns was hidden
over at the hahn ranch.

They was looking high and low.

We had our disagreements.
It upset Daniel so because
he adored his father.

I'd a had to arrest
the hahns and confiscate
the place.

Uh, ma'am.

Oh, sorry.
That was clumsy of me.

I can't thank you enough
for all the kindness
you've shown him.

Life's been pretty tough
on Daniel lately.

I heard he saw his father shot.

Well, good night, William.

Well, it's not just that.
Things weren't too good
between Brad and me.

All that fun wore him out.

He's a good boy.

I can't thank you enough
for all the kindness
you've shown him.

Boy his age gets confused
by his feelings sometimes.
He'll grow out of it.

Sometimes I think he
blames me for what happened.

Boy his age gets confused
by his feelings sometimes.
He'll grow out of it.

Well, it's not just that.
Things weren't too good
between Brad and me.

We had our disagreements.
It upset Daniel so because
he adored his father.

You ought to get some rest.
It's gonna be a while before
I get this wheel back on.

Well, good night, William.

Thank you for a lovely day.

Yes, of course, he will.

You've been such a good
influence on him.

Like... like a big brother
he can look up to.

Yes, ma'am.

Think he's hiding in here?

Good night.

You ought to get some rest.
It's gonna be a while before
I get this wheel back on.

I'm not taking my eyes off
till we get to rock creek

I'm just worried about
your baby.

My baby's gonna be just fine.

You haven't slept
in a couple of days.

Good night.

You haven't slept
in a couple of days.

That can't be good.

I'm not taking my eyes off
till we get to rock creek

look, I'm not gonna hurt you.
You ought to know that by now.

I'm just worried about
your baby.

Yah! Yah!
Come on! Come on!

There's no ammunition.

What?

I ran out!
Your gun's all we got!

Get in the wagon.

That can't be good.

Look, the sooner we get to
town, the sooner I'll sleep.
You keep working.

Yah! Yah!
Come on! Come on!

Ain't no one else.

I saw him.

I'm alone, I swear.

Get out of there, lady.
Find him.

Well, well.
Look what we got here.

Think he's hiding in here?

He might be.
You got any rings for me
in that chest, huh?

No, don't, please.
It's just some sheets
and dishes.

He's not in here.

Well, well.
Look what we got here.

Where's the man?

Ain't no one else.

Get out of there, lady.
Find him.

It's real nice, Cody.

You don't have to fancy up
for us, Cody. We think
you smell just fine.

No, don't, please.
It's just some sheets
and dishes.

Blast it.

It's over. It's all over.

Junk. Junk stuff.

Sure did. Love's confusing
enough without your friends
getting in the way.

I just wanted to tell you,
I know how you feel.

Cody? Cody, wait a minute.

Woo.

Why don't you two guys
just leave me alone.

Here he comes.

Hey! Give that here, Jimmy.

It's real nice, Cody.

I don't understand it, Lou.

Figure I'd know that
after what the kid and I
went through.

You boys gave us a rough time
when we got together.

Cody? Cody, wait a minute.

Your feelings
are your own business.

You're damn right.

Figure I'd know that
after what the kid and I
went through.

Leave me be.

I'm trying to say I'm sorry.
We shouldn't have done that.

Your feelings
are your own business.

Could we, uh...

Well, you know.

Could we, uh...

Yeah, I guess we did
ride you pretty hard.

Sure did. Love's confusing
enough without your friends
getting in the way.

Both of us had all these
feelings building up inside,

but we were too scared
to say anything.

I just wanted to tell you,
I know how you feel.

Lou.

I mean, all I keep
thinking about is Julia.

It's like my stomach is
all tied up in knots

and it just keeps getting
tighter and tighter.

Well, you know.

Sure, we can.

See, she could never love me.

Maybe she does.
You don't know
till you tell her.

I can't do that.

It's different with
me and Julia.

See, she could never love me.

But we were too scared
to say anything.

Finally, it got so bad
there wasn't any way
of hiding it.

It's different with
me and Julia.

It's worse than getting shot at.

That's how it was
with the kid and me.

Both of us had all these
feelings building up inside,

Bedtime, Daniel.

But I'm not done yet.

But we were too scared
to say anything.

Finally, it got so bad
there wasn't any way
of hiding it.

It's different with
me and Julia.

I got no right feeling this way.

Cody, falling in love isn't
something you decide to do.

He'll never admit he's tired,
but he'll be asleep as soon
as his head hits the pillow.

Well, it's awfully
late to be out.
Is something wrong?

I can't do that.

I got no right feeling this way.

Truth is, you don't
have any choice.

Not unless you want to keep
living with that knot
in your stomach.

Cody, falling in love isn't
something you decide to do.

It's something that happens
whether you like it or not.

You got no reason to apologize.

So, you think I should tell her?

I think it's a chance you're
gonna have to take.

What if she gets upset?

She might surprise you.

But I'm not done yet.

It's late. You can finish
the rest in the morning.

Not unless you want to keep
living with that knot
in your stomach.

Nice night out.

Don't answer that...

Hey, Cody, you're just in time.

Oh, yeah?

Just in time for what?

In time to say
good night to Daniel.

But I want to talk to Cody.

To bed, Daniel.
No more arguments.

I'll see you tomorrow, Daniel.
I promise.

Good night.

He'll never admit he's tired,
but he'll be asleep as soon
as his head hits the pillow.

What's wrong?

You have to go! Right now!

Why?

Well, it's awfully
late to be out.
Is something wrong?

No.

One of the nicest
I've ever seen.

Are you all right, William?

Nice night out.

One of the nicest
I've ever seen.

Get that wagon unloaded.

Why?

Please, William, don't argue,
just leave!

Listen to me.
If there's gonna be trouble,
I'm not going anywhere.

We're not in trouble,
but you are.

- If they find you here,
they'll kill you. Now, go!
- Okay.

Are you all right, William?

Julia, there's something
I got to say.

Shhh!

That's the last of 'em.

Now, that wasn't any trouble,
now, was it?

There will be if you
keep coming here.

- If they find you here,
they'll kill you. Now, go!
- Okay.

I'll get out of sight,
but I'm not going anywhere,
you understand?

Get that wagon unloaded.

Enjoying the night air?

I was until I heard you coming.

I'm afraid we have to
impose on your
hospitality again, Julia.

What's going on here, Julia?

Evening, Julia.

I assure you we'll be
as quick as possible.

That's the last of 'em.

I'm afraid we have to
impose on your
hospitality again, Julia.

If hospitality were a concern,
you wouldn't be here.

Now, now.
Don't be getting yourself
all worked up for nothing.

I assure you we'll be
as quick as possible.

Let's go!

There will be if you
keep coming here.

Not if you do what you're told.

Evening, Julia.

He threatened to kill Daniel.
I couldn't stop him.

There was no one I could
go to for help.
My god, I'm so frightened.

They threatened to kill
somebody that was
very close to him.

The law wouldn't hold
your friend responsible
for that.

What's going on here, Julia?

He threatened to kill Daniel.
I couldn't stop him.

It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Suppose I had a friend
that was forced
to help some outlaws.

Now, this friend of mine
didn't do anything wrong,

go ahead.

If they got the notion
their money wasn't safe?

They'd probably move it.

That's right.

You busy, teaspoon?

Well, I expect I could
squeeze you in.
What's the trouble?

I got a question about the law.

He can't. He's too scared.

See, even if these outlaws
was captured,
others would come after him.

Well, I can see the problem.

Now, this friend of mine
didn't do anything wrong,

but these outlaws made them
hide some stolen money
on his land.

I guess, there's just
no way around it.

Now, hold on, Cody.

What do you think them
outlaws would do

if they got the notion
their money wasn't safe?

Could he be arrested for that?

Well, how'd these outlaws
force your friend to help?

They threatened to kill
somebody that was
very close to him.

And I want you to tell your
friend that I expect
a big kiss when this is over.

The law wouldn't hold
your friend responsible
for that.

He ought to go to
the law for help.

He can't. He's too scared.

Well, I can see the problem.

I guess, there's just
no way around it.

You're right, it would.
Damn good idea.

And I want you to tell your
friend that I expect
a big kiss when this is over.

That's right.

Seems to me a smart lawman
would be watching
where'd they took it.

Then later on,
they'd arrest them.

Outlaws would never
suspect your friend.

How'd it happen?

We met a girl. Emily.

Outlaws would never
suspect your friend.

Oh.

Now, teaspoon,
that might just work.

We grew up together.
Never spent a day apart.

Got so we knew what the other
was thinking before
they even said it.

Now, teaspoon,
that might just work.

You're right, it would.
Damn good idea.

Ike was normally
shy around girls,

but, uh,
it was different with Emily.

He fell in love with her.

This was his.

It's funny. Even though
he's gone, it's like
he's still looking after me.

Thomas and I always
knew we'd get married.

We grew up together.
Never spent a day apart.

We met a girl. Emily.

Ike was normally
shy around girls,

got so we knew what the other
was thinking before
they even said it.

It was like that
with my friend, ike.

It's funny. Even though
he's gone, it's like
he's still looking after me.

Is he the one who was shot?

Ike got in the middle of it.

Oh. So, he died
trying to save her.

Is he the one who was shot?

Ike would look at me
and I could hear the words.

It didn't have to happen.

No. If he loved her,
he couldn't have
done anything else.

After Kimball moves
the rifles from your place,
you'll be safe.

Then teaspoon will follow 'em
and explain everything
to the army later.

He fell in love with her.

Anyway, somebody killed her
father and she went after him.

Why would he move them?

Teaspoon's gonna make them
think they're planning to do
a search at your place.

Oh. So, he died
trying to save her.

It didn't have to happen.

You don't know what
a relief that is to me.
Thank you so much.

What's wrong?

How much you know
about birthing babies?

You don't know what
a relief that is to me.
Thank you so much.

Everything's gonna be okay.

After Kimball moves
the rifles from your place,
you'll be safe.

Then teaspoon will follow 'em
and explain everything
to the army later.

No one will ever know
you were involved.

Why would he move them?

Oh, god, it hurts!

Keep pushing.
That's it. That's it.

Everything's gonna be okay.

That's it.

That's it, now, push! Push!
You're almost there!
Keep pushing!

Keep pushing.
That's it. That's it.

You're doing fine. Now, push.

I can't anymore. I can't.

Just a little longer.

Push. Push. Come on. Come on.

Keep pushing. Come on. Good.

I don't think your mother
would appreciate that.
Now, run along.

Ma don't care.
She's got Cody now.

Just a little bit more.

Push. Push. Come on. Come on.

Oh, thank god.

It's a boy.

What are you doing here, Daniel?

I ran away.
I come to stay with you.

A healthy boy.

I don't know... I...

Think, Daniel, think!

Daniel?

Who the hell is Cody?

Just a dumb puke.
I heard them talking
about you and the guns.

I ran away.
I come to stay with you.

I don't think your mother
would appreciate that.
Now, run along.

William?

William? Whoa!

Cody?

Daniel?

Just a dumb puke.
I heard them talking
about you and the guns.

What'd they say?

I don't know... I...

Time to get up, Daniel.

Come on, you've got chores
to do before you...

I found this by the window.
He must have seen us.

All right, now, wait a minute.
I mean, where could
he have gone?

- Mr. Kimball...
- Yeah?

How do you know we're
not riding into a trap?

Oh, no.

Yah! Yah!

Come on, boy.

William? Whoa!

Julia, what are you doing here?

Yeah, well, usually when
he's expecting a lady.

Now, where's Kimball?

He left.

Please, I'm looking
for my son.
Has a little boy been here?

Kimball. All right, let's go.
Come on.

- Noah, will you take care
of this buck board for me?
- Yeah.

Julia, what are you doing here?

Daniel's gone.
He ran away last night.

Are you sure?

I found this by the window.
He must have seen us.

That's the last of them,
Mr. Kimball.

Count them again.

So, where we gonna take 'em?

All right, now, wait a minute.
I mean, where could
he have gone?

Who does he know?

The only person
I can think of is Kimball.

Kimball. All right, let's go.
Come on.

- Noah, will you take care
of this buck board for me?
- Yeah.

How do you know we're
not riding into a trap?

I don't.

That's why we're
bringing the boy.

So, where we gonna take 'em?

Don't ask questions.

- They're all here.
- Okay, let's get moving.

- Pull me up.
- You're staying here.

Let's move.

That's why we're
bringing the boy.

A little extra security. Lou?

Yes, sir?

Let's move.

Yah! Yah! Yah!

A gentlemen usually knocks.

Yeah, well, usually when
he's expecting a lady.

Last one.

That's the last of them,
Mr. Kimball.

Please, I'm looking
for my son.
Has a little boy been here?

The boy was here.
Not for long, though.

They left in a big hurry.

Where'd they go?

Where'd they go!

- Pull me up.
- You're staying here.

No, you said
I could go with you.

You got to give your mother
a message for me.

What message?

Give him a limp.

Daniel!

Drop your guns
or I'll kill him. Do it.

Don't shoot the barn!
Daniel's in there!

Hold it, ma'am.
He'll be all right.

Let the boy go,
Kimball, and take me.

You, go around. Go around.

I'll kill the both of you.
I will. Tell 'em, Julia.

I'll kill 'em just like
I did that traitor husband
of yours. He quit on me!

You killed my father?

This is where we brought ike.

Let the boy go,
Kimball, and take me.

That's far enough.

I'll make a better shield
than he will.

I'm warning you.

Drop your guns
or I'll kill him. Do it.

You got
no place to run, Kimball.
Let the boy go.

Daniel! Daniel, no! Don't!
Please, don't hurt him!

Hold it, ma'am.
He'll be all right.

This is where we brought ike.

Hmm. It's beautiful up here.
A real nice resting place.

I'm warning you.

What kind of a man
are you that hides
behind a little boy?

I'll kill the both of you.
I will. Tell 'em, Julia.

Ike should be soaring free
like the wind.

You know, buck,
I've been thinking.

Hmm. It's beautiful up here.
A real nice resting place.

Death doesn't bring rest.
It releases the spirit.

You killed my father?

Ah!

Mama.

I'd be honored.
But it would be a greater
honor if you named him ike.

Thomas ike Granger.

I'd like to call him buck.
Would you mind?

I'd be honored.
But it would be a greater
honor if you named him ike.

I got you.

Well, I straightened
everything out with the army.

They won't give you
no more trouble.

You're a godsend, marshal.
I don't know how to thank you.

Thomas ike Granger.

I think ike suits him just fine.

Death doesn't bring rest.
It releases the spirit.

Ike should be soaring free
like the wind.

You know, buck,
I've been thinking.

Thomas could use a middle name,

and since you brought him
into the world,

I'd like to call him buck.
Would you mind?

Come on, Daniel.
Time to go home.

That's real nice. Thank you.

I think ike suits him just fine.

You're a godsend, marshal.
I don't know how to thank you.

Whittled it myself.

Well, I straightened
everything out with the army.

Oh, doesn't everybody
have chores to do?

Right now?

Come on, Daniel.
Time to go home.

I've been thinking that
maybe I should take Daniel
back east to his grandparents.

I want to thank all of you
for everything you've done.

You coming, Cody?

I don't think so, Daniel.

I made something for you.

I wish it didn't
have to be this way.

I don't know. This isn't
a good place for a little boy
to be growing up.

At least not now.

I want to thank all of you
for everything you've done.

Especially you, William.

For how long?

I don't know. This isn't
a good place for a little boy
to be growing up.

Oh, doesn't everybody
have chores to do?

You know,
I think what you're doing
is right.

I've been thinking that
maybe I should take Daniel
back east to his grandparents.

For how long?

I wish it didn't
have to be this way.

Who knows, maybe we'll
just meet somewhere.

Why don't we think about it?

He needs to forget.

It's probably for the best.

I would like to see you again.

I'd like that, too.

Julia...

I suppose so.

I guess this time
it just wasn't right for us,
that's all.

I suppose so.

I would like to see you again.

Who knows, maybe we'll
just meet somewhere.

Goodbye.

Who knows, maybe we'll
just meet somewhere.

Why don't we think about it?

Goodbye.

Goodbye.
