All language subtitles for Raintree County 1957 HD

Look at the birdie---look at the tree

My girls are the prettiest
known to the county

That's all

Mr. Durin, you've made us all immortal

Young ladies and gentlemen---

Now, young ladies and gentlemen---
alright, you cloud-headed

You've still 2 weeks before graduation

Let me remind you

Mr. Durin's picture taking is completed

You prepare yourself to Mr. Durin here
some time this week

an individual photograph

to appear in the Academy Album

Miss Kader---why are you standing there
as if transfixed?

ls it because you've left your books
in the study at the expense of

your splendid youth and innocence

or is it because you've already entered
into the miserable Harvard womanhood

and beat with them?

Alright, stop all of that
or stop blushing

Johnny.

He's not here

0h, you mustn't see me hiding

Hide what?

Happy graduation,Johnny.

Thank you

Happy graduation to you

Thank you

l guess we had the same idea

lsn't that nice?

We think the same thing

lsn't that crazy?

0pen your present, Johnny

lt's all about Raintree County

lt's illustrated with colored maps---
statistics and history---

and place adventures

lt's wonderful---just wonderful

Look---prominent citizens of
Raintree County

There're over hundred of them

Johnny, someday your name will be
the first on that list

Naturally

0pen yours, come on

Well, l think you'll like it---
it weighs 6 lbs

0h, l think Lord Byron was the most
fascinating man ever lived

He seemed so much in need of

a good woman to love and love him

He never really found one

Yes---

There's a photograph inside---
l wrote something on the back of it

Johnny, it's beautiful

You know what l think?

l think someday you're going to be
a great writer

lt's just beautiful

l've never heard such nonsense

wasting 3 days write this

What's this---a speech?

lt's not nonsense

lt's an honor to be valid Victoria

lt goes to the student ranking first
in scholarship

You know so much about it

What did you ever valid---validate---
whatever it's called?

Pap is valid Victoria for the whole
Raintree County

Did you know that, Mom?

Your father?

Preaching a sermon to the most
undesirable element

Waste the elegance there is in
a lot of ground

It's the undesirable element which we desire---

You object the Pap's elevating spiritual
welfare the people?

What about my spiritual welfare?

Why can't we get an inside pump?

Yeah, Pap---what about an inside pump?

That's not a joke

What ever did learned you
at that school?

You learn a cup of beer?

Your mother has beaty confused
with Heidelberg

You learn to smoke tobacco?

Like a chimney

Huh, your father like that .....ever here
his sermon on the evils of tobacco

and with the regular pond some do it chew
and some do it smoke

But some end up their nose do poke

l do all three the same time

You learned anything else?

l learn my mother is a fraud and
what she says is hateful

that the way she says it

You never amount anything like that

Well, he ought to amount to something

He's related to one of the greatest
writers in the English language

Who's that?

Thomas Carlyle, that's who.

l think you're old enough to know that....

Joe, stop that foolishness

Well, l always thought that one day

be a great man in the family

Great man?

ls a great man more good to get a job
of farm this land

Why ever was l cursed with such a burden?

0h---which reminds me

How are you and Nell getting along?

Nell is a fine girl and she is---

Well, she's Raintree County

That means a lot of people like us,
people with roots

A man should not only marry his beloved

He should marry his region

A good wife is a good start,
taught greatness

Pap, define greatness

Greatness?

Well, a great man is one
who does good for others and

I guess in that way your father qualifies.

Greatness?

Ha!

lf that great philosopher Socrates
used living today,

lf he were used to sit on a crack
chewing tobacco---

that was America,that's the greatness

Do l shock you?

How can l shock such unenlightened
cloud heads?

Are you stunned, Mrs. Lydia Gray?

0h, stop looking at me, child

With those big brown cow eyes round milk
like wax in the flame

Yeah

Do l shock you, Miss Nell Kader?

Not as much as you like to

0h, there must be somebody l shoked

How about you, Johnny Seanacy?

l....relish it

You don't shock me
if you don't want shocking

Thanks, my boy

Now, about greatness.

We Americans measure greatness
in simple terms---in terms of money

We're always hunting with a tree of life

whose root is pure gold---

You have beautiful chest-light color
hair, my dear

But, there's another tree

not of gold, but of fulfillment---

whose flower is accomplishment
and its fruit is love

Most ways,
the ways of pleasantness

and most paths all lead to peace

Find that tree and
you'll find greatness

ln every land, every language poems of
some of this tree

And we in lndiana have our
own mythe about it

It's the tree from which our county
takes its name

0ne day a ragged preacher ,was
wandering on the shore of the lake

in the middle of the county

That preacher was a man you all know,

Johnny Appleseed who spent his life

traveling to the pioneer West

planting apple seeds in the wilderness

Among these thousands of seeds
there was one that ragged preacher cherised

Not an appleseed, an exotic seed from China,

the seed of a golden raintree.

The preacher searched the tiny earth place,
the one place

Well, this one seed by taking root,
blandished

Someone in this county found
that place

But where that raintree was planting?

Nobody knows

Professor, how could such a tree grow on

seeing in the county?

There's a great swamp by the Paradise Lake

There perhaps stands the tree

lts sacred tonic trunk towering up
in the drawning silence

smacks deep in the middle of the county

Find that tree, boy,

and you'll learn
the secret of life itself

Find it and become the hero of
Raintree County

Do you really think it there?

Why don't you have a real good see
for yourself?

Professor, you still haven't answered
the question

Do you really think it there?

lt's there ,alright

lt's there....

But the sacred fire ready to be blacked

But if you look for it

Be sure you'll find it

What happens if you pursued
the raintree and don't find it?

You see before you a seeker
who didn't find

None of the human creature as the pitiable and
harmless creature you'll be hold in vain

Alright, human.....the show is over

Now, disappear...all of you, like phantoms

Attention, now easily slip away

Mrs. Gray, it's my time with you, huh?

Nell, let's you and l go to find
the raintree.

Professor said looking for the raintree
is appearless business.

It can't be so

So even dressed for it?

Are you serious?

Certainly l am ---come on

We mind it---find it

Johnny, not now

Why?

You scared?

Ah---is he fooling?

Look at him

What's up because of the tale
told by that idiot---

that expert in that calculated sanity?

Are you coming?

In the bad swamp,just because
the Professor put a barge on you about going

about the raintree?

Would you take care of this for me?

lf you mind l take care this for you?

You can go right ahead, sprout

Sure, Johnny,go right ahead

Huh, don't hurry back, sprout

l hate when a thing like this happens

l never know how it happens

Yeah,it's a whip of shame

Well, Sir, but is it Johnny Seanacy?

More like Johnny Appleseed

Ha,where have you been, sprout?

l'm walking

Get in, Johnny,we'll take you home

Come on, Johnny,get in back

Poor boy, you look half drowned

Was nearly all drowned

You mean you look for that....
what's you call ?

Yes, looking for the what'is you call.

Did you find it?

No

0h, what a whip of shame,sprout.

Poor pitiable harmless creature.

Johnny, tell me what happened

Yes, sprout,tell us all about it, huh?

Well

Boy, we'd like to tell us all about this

I Doubt, when you tell our fellows
about it

Huh?

l mean, say, you got the story straight

l entered the swamp like around here,

see ... around that way

What are you...

0h, excuse me, you're quite right

l entered the swamp this way and the so flows
kind of a line that way

That's how he came over the swamp

�You find that raintree?' l said

�No' he said, �l nearly drowned'

l figure that tried to cool his head,

But then she says...she says

What did she say?

She said" what a poor pitiable
harmless creature"

What's going on, boys?

0h, hello, Dr. Seanacy.

We were just talking about
your son Johnny

Flash purple

Don't you know that your body is a temple
of the spirit?

And you defile and polluted with
that devil's brew you've there

Why you say so, but---

Why don't you come around to our
next tempest rally,

Come around to take a total afternoon
to pledge

l'll take that pledge right now

0h, no---we want men to take pledge
only when they're sober

But if they're sober, what's the sense
having the pledge taken place?

Wait, man---l want to testify that
l hanen't been drunk for 2 weeks

l drunk beer, wine and most of them
with all friends

l'm drunk here now this minute

l can't find a man who can drink

as much as l have walked straight and
l can still foot any man in this county

Thank you now if you just.....
mark a day and a hit town

Stand at any corner and listen to the
jumper, the local anthropoid

Steady...

l had hoped that this subject under discussion
was sufficiently elevated to engage my interest

However---

Professor, we were just talking about

your most promising student,

Speak of angels and hear their wings

Hm ,not that promising student

Ah, Mr. Gray and his charming wife

How in the entire world of cross ability
did that chilly January win

such a blithesome May?

That reminds me....

Do you know the story about the old
judge who married a girl 18 ?

Sure, will yoy excuse me

Ha---

0h, Pap---

Ha---

Wow, here comes the hero of
Raintree County

l guess he'll go again for the gold raintree

Ha---

Bob has been shooting his big fat mouth
again

Yes,if you really want to be the hero

in Raintree County, all you gonna do

ls play the Flash Burgins
for the bare-foot race

Flash Burgins?

So you're Johnny Seanacy

Could be, who wants to know?

Do you hear that boys?

Should l tell this child here who l am?

Why don't you tell him, Flash?

Son, it gives me great peculiar satisfaction
and relegation to introduce to you and

these handsome and intelligent dummy that

l'm a gentleman
who's better known as Flash Burgins,

fastest runner in Raintree County

Never heard of who is he.

Listen, child, it's me

l certify most of the runners in the
north and the south

before they're qualified for the
Games

l'm half horse and half the asshole
in their spare time

l buzz the more skulls and rag more campus
and chase more ladies---

That's the true

And there's a fine jump this year

Now little boy like
stand by and stone watch

Now who are you?

l'm Johnny Seanacy and

l can outrun any mule in the county

Come on, lad---what are you waiting for?

l race you right now

Alright

Race,

Race,

Race,

How about the church over there,
alright?

Right, any place you say

0n your march---1 ---2---

Stop it

What's wrong?

Put your coat on, Johnny

What for?

They're not racing

This man Burgins here is afraid to run
you in regular official

because he's frightened of
losing money.

Here's the hat on somebody

l give you 2 to 1

You're just talking,
you know no one here will met you

lf someone came up here with hard coin
you'll try to..... loud

Try me and see

There is gold?

My yarn is type as a teacher---
a molder for the young mind

15 dollars!

This is not much, but it's the mind
l mold

l'll cover, me and the side kick

l'll postpone it to July 4

l'll take a bite of that myself

Strange, Johnny, but this is a sure win

See you in the race time, Johnny,

and l promise not to beat you for a while

Until then we'll see

Why did you do a thing like that?

Well.

Excuse me

lt's been 5 years since anyone laid

a bet against Flash Burgins

Now, if you could beat Flash, we'd clear
the biggest part of money

ever waged in Raintree County

Fine.

What happens if l don't win and you
lose all your money?

My dear boy, l've certain well-laid plans for
the summer which at the moment l'm limited

to spread, not even to you,
dear boy

My plans called for a certain....
concentration of capital

l don't know, Professor,
sometimes you worry me

What are you up to?

Not more than 20 ways of skating a cat,
l guess l can

Now, you relax for the athletic orgies
ahead

You're going to win a race

You're going to be the hero of
Raintree County

l 've got to go.

And the beautiful girl

with an ;olive wreath will put a crown
on your sun-colored lucks

Gonna be fine, don't move

That's all?

Huh, how long it's supposed before---

Maybe 2 or 3 days

2 or 3 days?

0h, that's fine---

Ah, l'll see you in 2 or 3 days

Wait for me

0h, l didn't mean to scream

l'm afraid you'll find me
very unlady obviously

what happened?

Well,postponed to 4th of July

You're a fast runner?

Pretty fast

l'm a pretty fast runner myself

Well, how about a race some time?

You don't believe me, do you?

You'll be surprised how fast l can run

l'm as good as you can

You're Johnny Seanacy?

Say that again

Johnny Seanacy,

Professor

Boy,you're definitely ready to graduate

l was never so embarrassed

Why?

Because l screamed

This is where l live

You live here?

Hm ---

Come on, Siona,you slow as a swan

l'll be saying goodbye now

You live by yourself?

l have the 2 nigger girls to do the work

My Dad loved it too

He was Senator Drake , Louisiana and
New 0rleans

Some people thought he could be
president

The plantation in New 0rleans

We had another one outside Savannah.

When my aunt died last year,
l inherited this place

My name is Susana

Johnny, you want to say something?

0h, no.

You're cute....Johnny Seanacy

That 4th of July race, what happens
when you win?

Well, according to a friend of mine,

a wreath of oak leaves

on my sun-colored lucks

l like to be that girl

Maybe it can be arranged

0h, it can be arranged alright---
l'll arrange it

Lemonade?

Lemonade is something

Even the present President would agree

A draw.

This old horse

Just to be sociable

Well, l'll give if you both drink

Ah, what to be got?

How about a little Bourbon?

There's a couple of bottles right

Why?

They'll drink from the same bottle

Wow, you don't mean to say---

Flash is there hours ago

Yelling for action

You'd better get Johnny out there

The king is dead,long live the king

Johnny

Nice to see you around again.

Quiet voice

You've beautifully done it

Johnny Seanacy, allow me to present
to you on behalf of all these people

Present this wreath to the---
victory belongs to this boy

What about that race you and l
going to run?

l wouldn't have a chance

0h

You, dear boy, are a wishfully
pagan spirit

And you're poet of finance

Today is the day of high hopes and
fair promise

Ah, now wonder worker of the age

Professor, you've enough zidar

Hm, not enough, l gonna catch up with him

l've to protect my leagues

Why don't you run away and play with
this charming ambassador's

in the land of mints and magnolia?

Let's go swimming, come on

What?

You're sick of that think

But you can think anything

Ah, life...liberty and the pursuit
of happiness

0h, l gonna hate to leave here

Leave---when are you leaving?

Tomorrow, l'm going back to New 0rleans

You can't stay for a while?

0h, you're sweet

But you can come to visit me some time

You'd love this house.

You have to go?

Well, l only came up here to resettle
the house

l was going to sell it,
but l think l'll hold it for a while

When you'll be back?

l don't know,maybe never

Tell me about the raintree

Where did you hear about that?

Do you think you'll never find it?

You don't think it's a joke?

No, l believe it

l'll be looking for the raintree always

Supposing you do find it,

0h, it opens all locks,

It heals all wounds

Yes,maybe l'll never see you again

lt's silly,you've been running away
from me for weeks

Why don't you talk to me?

You weren't so anxious to talk to me
when that girl was in town

What do you mean?

Are you mad just because l saw her
a couple of times

A couple of times?

Huh, did you like that book of poetry
l gave you?

Yeah

No, Byron was immoral,
he was a libertine

He was a good writer

l think being a good man is
far more important

Maybe a writer has a lot of experience

0h, so that's it,so that's what you're
doing with Susana

Johnny Seanacy, the Byron
of Raintree County

That's right, l'm a genius

Maybe someday l'll write

About what?

About the sudden baths l've known?

No, l think l'll write about
Raintree County

About the lndians
when they first came here...

About Johnny Appleseed and the raintree

The raintree?

That's another thing, Johnny

That day you went chasing the raintree
l was waiting for you

l didn't know where you had gone,
but l knew that swamp

l'm sorry, l guess l didn't realize

You just didn't realize anything

Johnny, to some people you're a man
of great importance

Your exact location is of intense
concern to---to some people

l'd better go, Johnny

Not yet

Johnny

Please

Johnny, l'd better go

lt's getting late,we'd better go

0h, no,you don't

Who's that?

Why don't you move up here and
find out?

So it was you

Who did you think it was?

You know anything about this?

You got anything to do with this?

Doing with that?

With the Professor, he ran off with Lady Gray

lf he is still in the county, he'll get
a chance out of thousand to get not alive

We've got hundred men looking for her

Nobody can come to this county and

run off with another man's wife

lt occurs to me, young man, that you're
a friend of this

This man's

But a thing like this---
there're no nobbles

Whose side are you on?

l'm taking Nell home

No, l'll see you tomorrow

Alright, young man,l'm still waiting
for your answer

You'll get yourself a long wait,
l'm going home

Hello, Johnny

And what have you been up to?

Where's Lydia?

Wonderful woman---l did try cut her
away from her husband

That's the day you won your race

Where's she?

She had missed the train
at the 3-mile junction

0r we'd have been hundred miles away
by now

As we got back to the buggy, 3 men
with guns marched up to the platform

l grasped the situation once there

But that was only the beginning

0n the way back, the first man l met
asked if l heard about the man

who ran off with a man's wife

l'm a stranger here myself, l said

0n the road, l met a troop of camions
carrying for the station---

Where's Lydia?

She's home right now
waiting for Mr. Gray

l took her straight back

As for myself, l took off
like a street beggar

l guess you think l'm a bit a scoundrel,
right, Johnny?

l don't know---l don't know what l think

Don't think too badly on me

l suppose the heroic thing to be done
would be to stick around and

let the outraged husband discharge
his fury with a shotgun

But l hate that Sanctimonious warthog

too much to give him the satisfaction

Besides, l am scared

One thing, Johnny

Nothing happened, absolutely nothing

And that's the end just for all

lf there's any phantom to be hanged---
the county would say

there might be me and some truth
could be in it

Alright

l just managed the whole thing badly

Did you?

Come on

Where are we going?

You 've got to get out of the county

Well, good idea,it occurred to me

Johnny, why not both of us?

Study my example,
get out of Raintree County,

Someone would get you with a shotgun

Not me,you

l guess you're right

(ln French) Apres vous la delige

There he is

Come on

Get on the train

Goodbye, dear boy

Go on for great better things

Get on the train

We want him

Where you've been, Mr. Gray?

Your wife has been home
for the past 12 hours

Nothing happened,absolutely nothing

He's a liar

You want to shoot me and later find out
he was right?

What are you afraid of?

You want him ,you take him

l'm going home

You get out of my way, boy

or l'll cut your eyes out

Goodbye, dear friend

Remember me as a man who loves
Raintree County---

but just happens to lose
most of the people in it

Johnny

Johnny, l had to come back,
l'm going to have a baby

Johnny, this letter was left
on the door step, it's for you

0h, thank you

Johnny, this marriage you announced

Sit down

l can't honestly say l'm entirely
approved of the precipity

But, under the circumstances necessary
haste with which you've gone into it

l know,l certainly understand

Anyway, l think you're doing
the manly thing

l hope the young lady is all that she appears
what she appears to be

Judge not the ,beyond the judge.

l know, Sir

Marry her, son,and be happy

Thank you

You need any money?

l don't know...l don't think so right now

0h, there was a letter
came for you

l.... have it here

0f course

Hello

Hello, Johnny

l got your letter

Johnny, as one for whom you want for perfection,

l just want to say good luck

and wish you all the happiness
in the world

And the poem you wrote for me and
the picture you gave me---

l just feel that l want to return it

l thought maybe you want it now

l really did not want to get that out

lt's just that, everything has changed

and l don't mean anything to you

We don't mean anything
to each other anymore

Nell---l'm sorry

lt's not your fault, Johnny---
everybody knows that

lt was the 4th of July

You drank all that whisky and
you went out to the lake

No, l am responsible,nobody else

That's so much like you, Johnny

Why do you have so much conscience?

Maybe that's why l love you

Johnny, l love you so much

Did that l wish l didn't---l wish ...

The words of Lord Byron in that book
you gave me

�Forever love and before ever..-'

Still forever---

l wish you well

You're right, Mrs. Seanacy

l like the river.....it even smells good

l really don't understand it

Would you smell mouse like it too?

Now, there's something l don't understand

All you've to do is go south once and
you'll love it

Well, a north Yanky to the south
is not too easy to understand

You ever read ?

?

l've married an abolitionist, have l?

That's skeleton in my classic

Now, you mustn't joke about it

Are they friendly?

Anyway, the worst thing is to be
an abolitionist

Like what?

That cabin Negro blooded

Just one little tiny drop in the person
all Negro

They just can't tell either

ls it gonna be room for 2 of us?

lt's only sort of a hobby---
l'm taking with me wherever l go

This is Jimmy---l've had it the longest

Where did you get him?

He needs a bath

0h, Johnny, forgive my foolishness

0h, l do love you so

When l'm with you, l feel like nothing

Can happen to me as long as l have you

You won't have let anything happen to me

Will you, Johnny?

Enjoy yourself, Johnny?

Very much

Then what do you think about
the ever-glooming south?

As l said, l love it---l do

That sounds general, isn't it?

What you really think of it?

Well, Sir,l think so highly of it

l worry only by this talk
of sucession

Sucession?

Remember, young man

The Union belongs to those who keep
breath in this cabinet

What cousin Sam means, Johnny,
if sucession comes---

It's the north that should suceed

Hear him say---

Sam, one thing you must understand

Johnny is a poet

It's taking him 2 months to discover

Therefore, he loves the south

l'm not so sure he proves it

That's because he's a moralist

You won't get straight answers from him

He'll draw up opinions for another day

He's also a dreamer

a seeker for the
meaning of life with capital letters

Sir, your search is in the end

Stay here with us and help us
build our dream

We , in the south, dream

Of a great republic on this soil of merit

with it's pretty homes and as well
as the most beautiful women

0h, Sam ,you're wonderful

You shelf like some golden pitfalls

Cousin Sam ,Johnny doesn't like slavery

Is Johnny like the wage to slavery
at the north?

Johnny doesn't like misery anywhere

North or south

Here comes misery now---my wife

We're talking about the north, my dear---

slaves in the north---

Sam, you're boring---

l'll borrow your husband for a while

Excuse me

Don't look so serious

Here old man can only play
his dream of glory

lt's not that, l'm counting

Cousin Johnny, you ever in love?

Huh?

l mean---were you ever really---in love?

Cousin dear, l'm in love

You know l love the way you say that

You did such a noble sound
in your precious accent

Frankly, Johnny, cousin Susana just
isn't the right type for you

You're an attractive young man

0h, Susana, why disposed you
and didn't marry down here?

l guess supposing down here know
too much about her

Don't you hear me?

You've borrowed my husband long enough,
cousin Barbara,

l reclaim him

0f course

lt must've been beautiful

0h, it was, Johnny

lt was all white when
l was a little girl

The marble room was right above over there

Johnny, our neggars made these bricks
by hands

The furniture came from France

lt was so beautiful

These tower columns shed the veranda

l used to play there when it rained

The garden was so lovely cool
with roses and lilies

How this fire started?

No one knows

Really?

That were my Daddy and Mama buried

l was lucky to get out alive

l slept next to Henrietta at this room

She was burnt too

Who was Henrietta?

She was my dearest friend,
she was a great lady

How old were you?

Three, maybe four.

And you could remember it all?

Yes.....no, l don't know

l can quite remember what l exactly saw

l was told later on

0h

What's the matter?

There used to be a little cabin
right over there

l guess it's gone

This is where they buried her, Johnny

0h, you can't imagine
how lovely she was

She took care of me,
she was a great lady

l'm not ashamed to say ,
cause she was a Negro

0ne of these slaves?

0h, no---she came from Cuba

That was where l was born...Havana

Daddy was there for several years

and then came back with us

lt's so funny to think of her now

Think of her lying down there, that is
if she's lying down there

What do you mean
�if she's lying down there ?

lt's a short of family scandal

Some people say the graves were mixed

My aunt said she wasn't sure if it was
her Henrietta sleeping in Mama's grave

l---l don't understand

l love you, Henrietta---l love you

Dear

Johnny, l know you don't understand

She was everything to me

Because of her l was never alone

And now---do you feel that someone
is watching us?

Just nobody here

How do you know?

Johnny, about this....this negro girl

l....l lied to you about it

lt....it never happened

Why did you tell me this?

You asked me about it

Well, you don't think my Mama---

You don't think my Mama would ever
allow me to---

l---l was always with my Mama---

l was always by her side

Why---why she loved me so much

She never allowed me out of her sight

l---l was always with her

Susana---should we go home?

Good evening, l'm looking for Mr. Drake

Come on in, dear

Right in here

Thank you

Bobbie

Johnny, how do you know l was here?

Barbara said you were with Sam ---

she said you were here

Listen---l'd like to talk to you

Can you wait ?

We drive home and
we could talk then

No

Let's go in here

Would you excuse us?

Johnny, how about a drink?

Bobbie, what's all about

Susana's family and the fire?

Well, it's just an old family scandal

Johnny---but it's pretty gluesome

You see the day they had trouble to
identify a man in the,

fire but a woman

And the woman was another matter and
one of them was a lady of color

Why you go after that?

l like to know

Well it all began when Susana's mother
....when...you know

l don't know

She went insane

Susana's father gave up everything
to take care of her

At last he gave up his business
to seek her sense

For all they tried she was too far gone

Finally she couldn't be cured at all

lt was in Cuba

That's where he met the other woman

What about the fire?

There had some gringos

2 of the bodies were found together

So?

So it looks like something funny
had been going on

They might've been killed
before the fire

l mean everybody else got up and away

Why didn't they?

That's one of the question of identification---
which woman was that woman?

Which?

There was talks of Susana's father with

the woman who was found being inside

The woman....the woman...
who was found with?

l exaggerated, Johnny

Anyway, the thing was her

it was better the way was as that

0f course, there was a lot of talks---

You know how women talk ,
in this families,

women are worse at most

l don't want to scare you, boy

You need a quiet life

because you've a beautiful spouse

As you worth of it.

Alright, what happened after the fire?

Well, nothing much

All over the excitement Susana took it down
and disappeared for 2 or 3 days

l forget now

They found of her finally

She was in Henrietta's open cabin
all the time

And Susana had to go up

to her aunt's place in Savvanah

That's all l know about it

Does anybody know?

There's just one person

Who?

You've to wait until she's ready
to tell you

Not Susana?

lt's Susana

Susana was 3 years old

0h, my boy---you think you marry a child
bothersome?

At the time of the fire, my cousin
Susana was 9 years old

Dear, we 've got to get away from here

Alright, Johnny, where should we go?

Could we go to Europe?

No, l like to go back to
Raintree County

But why?

We've plenty of money

Honey, l got to get a job

l got to work

That's why we should be back home

so the two of you could be resting

Johnny, l haven't been very honest
with you

You haven't?

When l told you l was going to have
a baby, l lied

l'm not going to have a baby

l lied because l wanted you more than

anything l ever wanted in my life

Because l---somehow l just---

0h, l don't know

Darling, one thing you must know

l love you very much

You'd never leave me, will you,
Johnny?

l'll never leave you

l love you, let's go home

0h, yes.... yes,Johnny

Oh ,Miss Nell Kader,shame on you

By here my husband and l have been
home settled you not be seeing this time

And you have yet to call on us
where is your preeding?

l leave the breeding to you

How do you like here in the booze of the
Raintree County?

Well, l hardly feel this town
so small anymore

Whatever you do for amusing?

l take walks

How really?

You tell me who you walk with

l'm interested in all aspects
of real life

You won't be interested in me,
l walk alone

l just don't understand that.

You're still young, you know---

and pretty as a swan

Are you interested in a man, honey?

Perhaps

Well, good, l just hoped is not
a school teacher,

Like Johnny

You know, Miss Kader

a school teacher
has almost remote little habits

like read and write and mess all around

Anyway, l did want you to know
you're always welcome

Any friend of my husband's is
a friend of mine

And Johnny always did tell me
all his best friends in Raintree County

You're the first,bye...bye

Hello, Johnny

0h, where you pop up from?

No place special

Galwood asked me to marry him

Mr. Seanacy

Hello

He's going to politics,
what do you think, Johnny?

l mean you're always
being my best friend

l think Galwood will make
a fine politician

You know that's not what l mean

Mr. Seanacy, a few months in your class

l learned more about poetry and

politics and life and....
than l've all the time going to school

The students seem to enjoy
creeping up on me

They're all in love with you

Teachers get falling in love with
it's an occupation hazard.

Me was different,

l fell in love with the student

So did l

All l thought was a hopeless mistake,
wasn't it?

She tricked you into marriage, Johnny---

she wasn't pregnant

lt's one thing people around here
can't do without deny

l'm sorry, Johnny---l'm so ugly

No, Susana and l are going to have
a baby ,in April

l want you to know you're my
best friend

Well, l'm very happy for both of you,
until then, goodbye

How do you feel?

0h, l've a troubled sleeping again....
that dream,

Why you 're up so early?

Wasn't school or election day?

l 've got to vote

You were out so late last night,
speechify....the Mr. Lincoln

l wasn't the only one up there

The speechify

Thank God Jones delivered it
a little scum wider

You want to read it?

Come in

Morning---Mr. and Mrs. Seanacy

Good morning, Siona

Galwood Vs Jones---

l always wonder what's the beast for

l give you one guess

Galwood Vs Jones---

Youngest candidate ever to seek office
in lndiana State Legislature last night

rounded up his program campaign
in 3-mile junction

With the enthusiastic denunciation of
teachers who used the schools as a platform

to corrupt the youth of
Raintree County

Those who stand on the slavery question
is most violent

Jones declared that the best look to

their papacy is only the ship

A certain young teacher who instructs
the young, in a flammatory and seditious doctrine

about abolition includes a domestic
arrangement of his home to colored people

The status with respect to those freedoms for
whose protection the abolitionists claim
a monopoly is

Who said who's?

Questionable

Can you guess who's talking about?

But l think he's right

l think politics like charity
should begin at home

That's exactly what l intend to begin

What about Daisy and Siona?

What about them?

Honey, you lied after free those girls
and get rid of them

But they've been with our family
since they were born

They'd be unhappy any place else

l just don't understand you, Johnny---
after beeing insulted me

l just don't see how can you go on

being an abolitionist

Susana, you're not south now---

you can't have your slaves here

Johnny, l wish you wouldn't pick on me---

l don't feel well

Honey, l'm not picking on you

l just don't want slaves in my house

Alright, l wish we could get away
from here

l don't like this place

l just assume limited as a goat
in the hole

What anybody in the south ever do
to hurt you?

You know how nice and sweet they all were

and how much they loved it

l just don't see how you can

support a man like Lincoln.....Lincoln

Why you despised Lincoln so much?

l mean .....that's well-known fact

You must've heard about it

What's about the fact?

l mean the fact that Lincoln has
negro blood in him

You don't believe it?

As Galwood or Jones

Dear, all l ask you get rid of the girls---

pay them wages and do whatever you want

You don't love me...
you never did love me

You hate me because l'm southern

You've been asking questions about me

Dear, do what you want

But if those girls are not free by tonight,

l won't come back to this house

Hello, Johnny.

Hello

ls it a wonderful victory?

You mean Galwood or Lincoln?

I haven't seen Galwood, not around here.

You know sometimes think of the man
of the people is afraid of the people.

You were so wrong with wich you said
about Galwood that day

l think Galwood would make
a terrible politician.

He was born in the year 1835 with a
little capital he built in the year 1860.

It's very funny

l also think he'd make
a terrible husband.

How's he with you now?

Just fine.

Good.

Now you look, you look older

l'm older.

How's everything with you?

Fine, just fine.

Good.

Well, l guess this is the time ready
to say goodbye.

Say what?

To say goodbye.

Goodbye?

Mmmmm

l'm going to lndianapolis

to live with my married sister

l'm sorry, l mean really sorry
you have go.

Goodnight, Johnny.

Goodnight.

Surprise, hello, our hostess Johnny boy

Johnny... it's for you, honey

lt's a party for you...

Galwood helped me do it.

Dear.

A drink, Johnny?

Thank you, no

0h, come on, sprout

l made this punch myself.

An old lndian recipe... pure corn and
just a little bit of lime

0h, aren't you gonna congratulate me
on the personal triumph

for my stand on slavery?

You don't stand, Galwood, you point.

You point like a bird
set upon opportunity.

Well, to you l'll turn the other cheek

l admire your humility.

Darling.

Quiet, everybody.
I've an announcement to make

Daisy, Siona-, come here.

That's a wicked speech, Galwood...
I'm ashamed of you.

Don't miss that, honey

l'd slap my own grandma better than
for the abolition of the city polls.

Quiet, everybody

l want you all to know that

l don't keep any slaves in this house

ln honor of Mr. Lincoln's election,

l'll free both these girls.

They now will work for me
for wages.

Now is all sisters under the skin.

Siona.

Mr. Seanacy, we'll look after
your guests.

Honey.

What are you doing?

Now you find me, Johnny.

Go on beat me, hurt me.

You're too good for me, Johnny.

Honey

0h, Johnny.

What... what did l do wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong, honey

l love you, Johnny

l can do anything for you

l love you, Johnny.

You know... you know what?

Why don't we just start up
getting rid of these damn dolls?

Yes, Johnny, yes.

You too, honey.

Ah.

Now, maybe we have a little privacy
around here.

Dear.

Where's that doll?

Come to bed.

No.

No, l must find it,
l came up here to find it.

You don't remember what we 've done with
those dolls long time ago?

Come on.

What's the matter?

What's the matter, darling?

0h, what's wrong?

I keep having awful dreams.

The fire, Johnny, l'm so afraid.

Susana, get some sleep, okay?

0h, Johnny.

What's wrong?

What's the matter?

I hate it's coming.

Don't worry

l'm going... l'll be right back

lt hurts

l'll be right back.

Hurry.

Mom, it's happened, can you come over?

Yes.

Can you come right over?

0f course, Johnny,
now you pick a bad day.

What's going on here?

You haven't heard?

They've attacked borders.

The war is more sure as anything

l'm not so sure

I say the Americans will never fight
each other.

We'll settle our difficulties
peacefully.

You mean right over?

Yes, Johnny,

Come on.

Every red-blooded boy in
Raintree County gets into the fight

I'll be big tide, hot tide...

Skined and stretched on the border...
Jack Seanacy.

Flash?

Good to see you.

How are you?

Fine.

Corporal, we want get in the war.

You want get in the army, the first
thing you'll do is disarm.

Look, you jerk...
If you look me the same right,

will you write me down now?

I'll run and get a pencil.

Wear a blue suit like that with a
couple of rifles,

l look like somebody.

Flash... Susana is having a baby...
right now.

Well, that'll be.

Don't you worry, Jack.

With me at this war, it'd be over

with your kid and house, prout.

Your boy has had same guts as we had
back to 1846.

We 'll have them to some states at the
Gulf of Mexico by the 4th ofJuly, huh?

Right

l don't know everyone so full of juice and
vinegard about this war.

All we've done is lose the Fort.

That's for Raintree County.

Just the same, war is...

War is the most
monstrous of man's illusions.

Any idea worth anything
is worth not fighting for.

Mr. Seanacy, your Mom said
you can go in now.

Fastest man in Raintree County.

Hm...

Hello

lt's a boy.

Yeah, it's a boy.

Where is the other, Johnny?

What other?

There was another, wasn't right.

Dear, it's your imagination.

No, there was another, one that was dark.

Did they throw it away, Johnny?

No, dear.

Are you absolutely sure?

Absolutely.

Darling, do get some sleep

Johnny.

What?

I don't want you to go

I'll be right here.

You won't go, will you?

Where do I go?

You won't go to the war?

You won't go to the war.

No, dear, I won't go to war.

GRANT BESIEGES VICKSBURG

SEIGE 0F VICKSBURG ENTERS 35TH DAY

He'll make a runner like his Pap.

Well, another little town will be made
reluctantly immortal by bloodshed.

I 've got another battle of bittership
with your father.

To remove in a battle seems to settle
my stomach.

What did you have for dinner?

No, it's the disease.

Disease is called 'Civilian Paralysis'

l know... l guess l must be about the only

civilian under 40 in this whole county.

You got good reason, Johnny.

I wonder.

There're those you don't.

Galwood would beat for battle
sides Jones for instance

0h, he's a big man in the State Capital.

Maybe they can spare him.

A hundred thousand happy boys have died.

They couldn't spare me either.

Galwood is a copper-head.

Daddy, what's copper-head?

Well, l'll explain to you later.

How's your wife, Johnny?

She's alright.

Hey.

Hello, Johnny.

This girl is a jewel.

She is?

Something about a few years
in a big city.

She left here a school girl
full of sweetness in life.

She returned a full-pledged filthy
newspaper man for the juice in ground.

Come on now... let's get back to work

Nell, how does it feel being back here
and free having?

I like better than lndianapolis,

It's a copper-head town.

Daddy, what's copper-head?

Well, a copper-head is someone
who lives in the north

and who sides with people live
in the south.

You're still teaching,
still searching for the raintree?

That seems a long time ago, doesn't it?

You still think there's a raintree
out there somewhere?

I don't know.

Let's go and see?

Much too parallel business

l know why you don't look for it.

You're afraid you'll find it

0nce upon a time, long long long time ago,

a little boy,

Daddy, when Mommy would come back?

I think she'll be back soon.

Anyway, so there was the little boy
and he...

Is Mommy now.

My darling,

Have you missed me today, Jimmy?

Have you missed me very much?

Mommy, l was afraid.

You're afraid to Mommy,
isn't that sweet?

You don't have to feel
fear anymore, darling.

Mommy is home... now you get to sleep

lt's way to your bed time,
sleep on luck, good boy.

Goodnight, darling.

Goodnight, Jimmy.

Where were you all day?

Now Johnny, you know very well
where l was

l do?

I was in lndianapolis

lndianapolis?

As l very well said on my note,

l just went there a few hours to shop.

What note?

Here, on the dress up.

There, you see?

I can't find it, dear

l can't find the letter.

But l put it there, you know.

Don't worry, dear...
It really doesn't matter.

You don't think they took it, do you?

0h, l must find it before it's too late.

Why don't you look for it tomorrow morning?

No, i must find it now,

What did you have written on it?

Well, l couldn't tell you,

l've promised not to.

You believe me, don't you?

Yes, l do.

You see, l have a great loss,

Dearest thing in the whole world,

Daddy

Jimmy, my precious little Jimmy.

Daddy.

Alright.

What are you doing?

It's in the house, don't you see?

Something terrible might happen to him.

What do you mean 'something'?

Nothing gonna happen to him,
you 're crazy?

I'm sorry, Susana

Jimmy doesn't like me.

He loves you.

You can't expect him to understand
everything

l don't understand either

l thought children were supposed to
create a boundary between parents

l think Jimmy has created
a great barrier.

That's not true.

Yes, it is, you two belong together,

you gonna part from me

lt isn't so

0h, l wish only something l could do...

I gonna have something...

Dear, maybe if you told me

what happened the night of the fire

lt makes no difference now,

don't you see, Johnny?

Things can't get better between us

lt's nobody's fault,
but it's such a pity

0h, Johnny, help me, help me,

you always helped me.

What can l do?

What happened that night?

I know something about that fire,

nobody else knows

l never told anyone

lt started not long before the fire,
Henrietta had been away

l was very excited the night
she came back

l lay in the big house,
l couldn't sleep

l wanted my doll Jimmy, you know.

And l remembered that I left it
in Henrietta's cabin.

The house was so still that

l got downstairs and went outside.

The front door of the cabin was locked.

So l went round to slip in
the back door

lt was all dark inside the cabin

l listened... l couldn't hear anything

l crabbed to the stairs

l peeped up over the lamp
on the upper floor of the cabin.

There were two people in the room
together.

So l had a notion of what was like

between Daddy and Henrietta

l loved them both...

There is nothing
l would have done for one of them

ln a few days Henrietta came up
to live in the big house.

There was my Mom who was so violent

0ne day when Daddy was away,

Mom came
down to find me in Henrietta's room.

There was a terrible thing.

She said awful things to me and...

All the time Henrietta just stood there

with her arms around me.

So, that's why l hated Mama

l wanted to hurt her

l've been reading a story about

a person who wanted to hurt another person.

He wrote him a letter...

But didn't sign it.

So l wrote a letter and left it in
Mama's picture album

which she was always looking through

lt was... it was just a little note

lt said 'Daddy loves Henrietta..-

Yours truly, a well-meaning friend'

A well-meaning friend, l signed.

Wasn't that silly?

That night in bed I wish I wouldn't have
written to her

lt must be very late when l found
l got to sleep.

Suddenly l heard something like
fire-crackers

so soft and mouthful through the next room,

Henrietta's room

l guessed l must go back to sleep

because the next thing l knew

l woke up coughing.

The room was terribly hot and
there was a crackling sound and

my dolls on fire

l tried to beat the fire
out of my dolls

l began to scream

George, one of our negros came through
the window

and wrapped me up in the blanket

lt's somehow... it's somehow l was
hardly yearned.

They said 'You still have dolls'

They sent me to stay with my aunt

lt was until quite a while after

she told me about Daddy,
Henrietta and Mom.

Finally she brought me to Georgia
and here...

Did you tell her about the
fire-crackers?

I told her, and she said to me not to
say anything about it to anyone.

But l didn't tell her about the note

l left in Mama's album

because l thought l,

maybe l caused her death some way,

And l cried and cried,

no one knew
what l was crying about.

They thought it was about the fire,

but it wasn't just that.

What was it?

She killed them, she killed them and

l hated her

l still hate her and
l hate myself for what l did.

You didn't do anything, my dear,

you didn't do anything

0h, l don't know, l don't know.

Mom, hello.

You see this?

Rebels invade Pennsylvania

Johnny, l want to talk to you

lt looks like there's going to be
a big fight

lf Lee won this one, we're through.

How's Susana?

I think she's alright

Johnny, if you ever need me
or l can help about it...

Mom, you know you'll be

Well

Johnny.

What?

Nobody is here.

What do you mean 'Nobody is here'?

She is not here.

Susana

So by the time you read this,

Don't be alarmed about me...
They can't follow me

l'm outwitting them this time.

They'll stop at nothing... simply nothing.

Unless l can get away from them,

my life is not worth anything.

You understand, don't you, darling?

You understand.

Your loving Susana'

lf you find her, what good will it do?

It's all hopeless and useless.

You can find Jim after the war.

But right now what you're doing
is crazy.

That's fool's madness that ever was

l always had that high hopes.

Well, what l mean is you're
such a long-headed boy

always so full of laughter.

Now, she's drained and very lefter
out of you.

Why do you have to do it?

She's among all her people, friends,

she is alright l tell you

l know why you're doing it...

you pity her.

Pap, l love her...

You take care of yourself, Johnny.

Don't worry, Mom

l don't think the war will last
much longer.

He'll be back to us anytime

l take of hope full,

Dear Lord,

please bring this boy back
safe and... Amen

l've been with you for lifetime

l believe this is the shortest prayer
you've ever had.

Board...

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye

Johnny.

My dear

Johnny

Johnny,

that's all l can say...
It's Johnny

lt's fine after all these years in this
town we didn't stop

and talked and...

I never had any trouble talking

like just now

lt's true

Johnny, just come back safe

l'll try.

Try hard

lf anything happened to you, it'd be
the most beautiful murder

since the beginning of time.

Nothing is gonna happen to me

lt just can't, Johnny,

because somehow

l know we'll find each other again

l don't know how, but l know that

l always know that and that's why
l came back here

l never stop loving you.

When l walked these streets,

l said this is his town and

these people are his people

and this earth is his... his earth.

You just don't know, Johnny.

Army, halt.

Unarm.

Dismiss.

Well, l'll be in all this squad.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Just start to dance to walk my Jack's
brand new pants

l've been squashing and rolling about loud.

Hey

l've been looking for you, Jack...

I see your name on the rolls
of the new troops.

Boys.

Store your kits over there.

There's still space.
They are safe back over there.

Troopers, l want you to meet my old and
tenant regarding drunken body, Jack Seanacy.

- Hey, Seanacy...
- The man from Raintree County.

Alright, now let's go

l just got here.

Come on up.

Sorry, l got to report in this soon

0h, let them find you...
They're pretty good.

And besides, we got things to do and
a body to meet.

Come on.

Who?

0h, never mind... let's go.

Hold out, dear boy.

Well... well.

Professor, hi.

Well, that was a long train

you do sent me on, Johnny.

What are you doing here?

One battlefield is as dirty
as another.

Where else should l be over the brave
half-yearly throwbacks of.

Raintree County, my kind of people.

Been chased by any towns lately?

0h... l never stayed long enough, dear boy

l'm a dear man walker on correspondence
with infinite capacity for being afraid.

Tell me, what's the state of scene
in lndiana these days?

I 've nothing to go around, l trust

0h, it's lack and off considerably
since you left.

Hasn't changed much, hasn't it?

Time passes...

Deep scars of thunder have been trenched me
and cared since on this bearded cheek.

But bearded mathew known to many

aplant nymphe in the City of New York

0h, you're a freckle professor.

Not at all

l loved that girl in Raintree County.

He hasn't said this for 2 whole days.

By the way, what was her name?

That husband of her has somehow blotched
my, otherwise impeccable memory

Lydia Gray... her husband died only
a couple of months ago.

So the great mother finally got him

to a looser bosom,

- apoplexy, l presume.
- Measles, l guess.

So the wit of geese is available

in case you wanted to know.

Dear boy, an endlessly romantic dreamer...

I envy you this simplicity
of your concepts.

You see there?

What?

Those fires over there?

That hill behind it... the one behind it
are lousy with the rebels.

They'll be fighting for sure
in the morning.

Looks close already.

Ah, the white destroyer,
gammers and arms... a tost.

To all the men who go out and die

may be because they have luck to be born

one side or another of the mount
or the creek ...

and here is to sleep.

Let's have a goodnight of it...
and as tomorrow.

Crusaders, you're starting a journey

to a new and unknown land...

A place called hell.

September the 19th, 1863.

Chucamagua.

Which in maternity language means
'River of Death'

May the 16th, 1864.

Rosaca, Georgia.

Another day of dramatic corps making.

Sniper.

Canasona Mountain

June the 27th, 1864.

The army of the west twisted the rails to

something called 'Simon neckties'

Atlanta

November the 16th, 1864.

The first mortal crack at the south,
summer.

This year army is gonna cut off
all base of operations

as it gonna strike straight into

the heart of the enemy.

And you brothers gonna stick in job and

your job is to knock the
stomach out of this war.

You gonna travel in the army fronts and
the flanks and

you gonna point the way of provisions
the supplies.

You gonna have to leave over the fact and
the lead of the land.

It's gonna be on your own free of
command.

Good.

What's so good about it?

I always say where general put us
alone deads.

Alright.

Ha...

Alright, hold your mouth.

Tell me, 0rvil...

Are you animal, vegetable or mineral?

What's mineral?

0h, there's no time to spare-, how are you,
Johnny, leaving all day.

So you join this play Gov. Lucas huh?

Lucas is the best fighter
in all the world.

The time you're confused ferocity
with ability.

But never mind, Lucas,

if you should get squashed

allowing you with the small
but tasteful twister.

To Johnny Seanacy, in absentia.

Sleeping in a ...grave,

l hear him pray for his loving boy.

Professor, go home.

As a matter of fact, l'm going

l'm going to marry up with Mrs. Lydia Gray.

Now the big chief obstacle
has been removed.

Thinking one day, boy, there're many
a devil as guards of the light.

The home glooms make us always best

l like it

l've been a road runner long enough...
So much for me.

But you, l can't follow...
You're in the rabbles.

We'll be marching to Georgia...

We're free of all command.

Free of all command?

So this is your way of finding Susana
yourself.

Hm... yes.

Well, tost to the union and the reunion.

You see a country swamp
where blinds see water.

It's not easy to find us.

There're only ourselves where we are...

Folks of the north all lost in Atlanta.

Lost an army of 60,000 men...
Please return to owners...

Sign, labeling.

Flash.

Look, Raintree County captured an officer

l entrust myself to the hands
of a gentleman.

Where's your heart?

Take him to the house.

When l get caught, that's what comes
leading my leisure.

Now move... move.

Some war is this?

I 've fought in 6 major engagements...
From Gettysburg to the wilderness...

Never been unhorsed.

And I get captured by two bummers.

That's what leads to my leisure.

You're right, Captain...

I'm ahead to turn you over to the army.

Where's Susana?

Do you know where Susana is?

Susana Seanacy

l'm Johnny Seanacy, l'm her husband.

Do you know where she is?

Do you know where the boy is?

I'm gonna find them

l'm gonna find them.

She... she's gone long time ago.

Don't... go her way.

Come on down

Jimmy?

Daddy

Jimmy.

Daddy.

It's not you!

Jimmy, l don't believe it...
I don't believe it at all.

Captain, when does this war go to end?

I guess can't go on much longer.

We'll see it, John Lee will buy
a long shot.

Suppose old Sherman takes
same career, huh?

Am l right

when somebody will continue
to fight for his general?

Jack, l'll tell you the truth

lt's too sad to know l'd blow
his head off

l never thought if they'd know it.

Now Captain, l didn't.

Mr. Seanacy, where you're taking Jim?

Back to my house...
l'm trying to get him to Atlanta.

You'd better go on a coach car with me...

I'll probably prove myself for.

Probably much better talk to this
ass donkey.

And the war is over, you gonna get
Miss Susana?

Yes.

Don't do this, Mr. Seanacy

l never should have told you
where she was.

You don't know what she was like
when they took her away.

You don't know, Mr. Seanacy...

She is got a sickness.

Nothing...
Not all the loving care in this world

can heal of it

l know Miss Susana...

Me and old George upstairs.

He saved her in that fire...

He carried her through the window.

The smoke in his lungs, has been
poling ever since.

And then she got sick.

She talked most strange

about Henrietta who could be her mother.

She said over and over...

Where she was?

You crazy too?

I delivered Susana.

And from that time on Mrs. Drake
could never take care of her.

So Henrietta had a deal...

They were always together.

Susana wanted Henrietta
to be her mother

0nly she hated the idea of democracy.

Henrietta was... just like me

0nly l know what child is

then the war going on inside her.

Alright, let's move.

Thank you, Patsy

Jack

l believe he breathes bad.

Let's make it quick.

Flash, are you alright?

Flash.

Stay where you are.

You hit?

You need me?

I'd make it settled, the pitch one.

Stay where you are.

We got to get out of here.

You want me to take the kid?

No, l'll take care of him.

Don't wait by my side...
You got to race the run

lt's the only chance for the day...
Prefer two of us.

Alright, let's go.

Hey you... come out.

What's you want, yankee?

Just want to see you still there.

Here you're yet?

Why don't you go and play
somewhere else?

You keep us out of beauty... sleep...

We gonna get you a good loud sleep.

Shame it... you shoot that pretty close.

That isn't friendly, don't get any call.

Comer save yourself.

Not just fast... the longer l am gonna
set free.

Pal, where are you coming?

Well, come on

0h, come on... what are you waiting for?

I come from Raintree County...
I can look at it... here.

Another glorious victory.

Hey, Joey, he's coming your way.

He's dead?

No, lucky dog, war is over for him.

PEACE

LEE SURRENDERS T0 GRANT

Halt.

Mrs. Roman?

Yes

l'm glad... l'm Johnny Seanacy.

This is l told you in my letter,
Mr. Seanacy,

This is not been changed.

Mrs. Seanacy is mentally deranged...

Suicidal.

For the most part, she's normal
up to be rigid.

Women are not very pretty, are they?

They're hungry mostly.

We don't need to be on diet.

We don't even have sanitary.

Even with the war over, we're luck
of everything.

War or peace, nobody cares.

Your wife is normal enough now.

She's in here because l thought
she might like privacy.

Susana, l'm so glad to see you.

You shouldn't have come.

Mrs. Roman said that you 're...

Normal?

I come to love this sound in that wood...

That beautiful holy sound of it

l'm afraid... even in my own happiness
with you here

l'm taking you home with me.

Why?

I've always got in your way.

No, you haven't.

Now you might even find your raintree.

Susana, there's no raintree.

But l think there's...
And l say it over and over again

and l make both of us miserable.

And then you begin to pity me

and l can't accept your pity

l'd rather be alone

l don't pity you... l love you.

That's the foundation to build on.

You don't think the foundation too
wicked after all this time?

We're in an incomplete kind of love...
Johnny

lt just wouldn't work

l like to try... l'd like to try

lNDIANAP0LIS & LAFAYETTE R.R.

SPECIAL TIME SCHEDULE

REMAINS 0F ABRAHAM LINC0LN

LATE PRESIDENT 0F THE U.S. AND ESC0RT

Now Lincoln belongs to us all...

To all the men who died.

Say goodbye, Jim...

Jim say goodbye.

Goodnight, Jim.

We'd all better say goodnight

Johnny.

Yes?

I want to talk to you.

What about?

You.

Not tonight, Professor...

I got about a million
compositions to correct

l thought the world of yours
is a larger issue.

Compositions to correct...
That's a sublime vocation.

Not very funny, Professor.

You're quite right, Johnny...
It's not a laughing matter

Lincoln got a bullet in the brain...
Our country is still rip apart

l for one take the most hopeful view.

About what?

Lincoln's reconstruction policy

0h, it never got started...
It was too gentle for most people

Johnny.

Galwood

l was just in the neighborhood and
down to railroad station

paying my last tribute to Lincoln

0h, that's wit of you.

Good evening... ladies

l... l just tell you a few minutes

l'll be very brief, Johnny

l intend to run for Congress

l intend to see the rebels south gets
just it deserves.

There's no longer rebels, Galwood

lt's beaten... and it's bleeding now.

You're sentimental, Johnny.

Personally l'm a practical politician.

What do you want from
the sentimentalist?

My election gets lead the big things...

For me, perhaps, the presidency.

And for me?

You name it, Johnny.

Let bygones be bygones...
Forgive and forget.

We each have a war to fight...
You in your way...

Me in mine

Lincoln in his... but now...

Now Lincoln is becoming a useful symbol

and you're going cash in on it

l don't cash in on any man

Johnny, l'm organizing a new party.

Galwood, you always belong
to the same party...

The party of yourself.

Get out.

Well, how do you like that snot now?

Johnny, you're going run against him.

Statesman, that's a splendid notion.

You could do it, Johnny

l always said he'd be a great man
in the family

0h, Johnny, what do you say?

Not me.

Why not you?

You wanna be burying yourself
in the books all your life?

I'm no politician.

Some of the time you call yourself
natural attitude for it...

You and your actor choice...

He spends his days teaching his
half-form-mind children.

So he spends his nights writing a book...

A great book to guide the lost
in the wilderness.

The book that somehow never got written.

Well, what happened to it?

I don't know, but the children got talk.

That makes me wildly happy.

Well, you really wouldn't understand...

You're such an awful teacher

l'm not my student adorable.

You might make a good politician.

Me?

Me?

Why not?

Right now, politics is on your brow
like a high fever.

Hm...

And the fever is mourning.

Yes... if l could now leap out...

Lie out promise to Galwood

best days ever saw in the back
of the train getting out steam

when l'm squatting back in my arms with
a boy lighting fire-crackers under me.

Yes, l'm sorry l was so...

So big mouthed... big mouthed, huh?

Yes.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Professor.

My dear... perhaps even the presidency.

Goodnight, Johnny.

Goodnight.

Good evening, Nell.

Goodnight, Mom

Johnny, l think you're a great book
is your own life.

Don't spoil it.

What you did just now was very clever...

But it doesn't solve anything.

What are you talking about?

About the Professor... your candidate...

But he's not mine.

Who would you choose?

You.

Please

Johnny, who else could do with?

Who else could help you beat
the bleeding south?

0ne thing about the Professor...
He'll keep his word.

Then he'll out lip and
out lie promise Galwood.

What good he'll do with it?

Nell, l don't want to talk about it.

Why?

Because l want you to do something
that you're capable of doing?

Look... l'm out

l'm not going to run for Congress

Johnny, if you'd only just...

Look... it's final

Johnny, you can't escape responsibility

Nell...

Johnny, whatever you do,

l know you'll do it honorably well.

Goodnight.

Goodnight

l'm sorry, Susana... l talk too much.

Goodnight

Nell

Nell, you still love him, don't you?

We grew up together.

We love Raintree County.

We went everywhere together.

Yes, l still love him

lt's because of me...

Because of me you that can't run
for Congress.

Dear, it's not because of you.

Because l'm sick.

You're not sick... it's just the...

Well, l'd like to stay right here in
Raintree County

0h, l wonder... l wonder things
would be different

better if you 've found your raintree

l bet Nell could have found it for you.

Susana, that was long time ago
that l went looking for the raintree

l'm not even sure l expected to find.

But at least l learned to see
the raintree

lt's not nearly important as
what you find looking for it

l'm happy with what l 've found..-you.

All my life, l 've wanted someone to love
and love me...

Someone whose voice touching my ear
in the night...

Shut out the bad dreams...

Someone who'll always be bound to me...

And out of him... with
such a great barriers

Johnny, don't...
Don't work too late, darling.

Mommy, what are you doing?

Darling

Jim, l am going to do
something for Daddy...

It's a surprise.

What's it?

We mustn't tell him
or it won't be a surprise

l won't tell.

You see l'm going to find the raintree.

For Daddy?

Yes, darling... for Daddy...

Then everything will be alright

l'll find the raintree and
I'll hand it to him gently...

With all my love.

Can l go with you?

No, darling... l take Jimmy

l don't understand

Jim, darling... someday
when you're older...

Ask Daddy about it.

He'll be able to explain...
It's Daddy what's for.

The thing... only happened to your father

because he can't stay one
day to have his picture.

Now l was there.

Mr. Seanacy...

Susana.

Susana.

Susana... hear me?

Johnny... you'd better come with me

Jim?

He hasn't been found yet

Johnny...

Jimmy

Jimmy

Jim.

Daddy.

Daddy

Jimmy.

Hello.

Hello.

Come on
