Did the drummer wearing a loud suit

and smoking a stogie get on board?

No, sir, he started to, then suddenly

he turned around and ran back towards town.

Thanks.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Hello, there. Good morning.

Good morning.

Looks like we're gonna have another scorcher.

Sure does.

Which makes a man wonder

why he squanders all his time on a town like this

when all he can do is just sit

and let all of his juices dry up.

You came in on the train, didn't you?

That's right.

Well, if you're looking for a room, now--

No, I'm not. But I am looking for a man.

Kind of a drummer type, wearing a black hat

and a loud suit, smoking a stogie.

I saw him down at the station. I...

I think I know him.

What's your friend's name?

Well, his name seems to have slipped my mind.

But he's a traveling man.

He's about 50, putting on a little weight.

Carrying a big brown valise.

Must have been that drummer, was staying here last night.

Now, his name is on the register if you wanna do go look.

Can't you tell me?

It's Brown.

- Fordy Brown. - Fordy Brown?

Fordy Brown.

I don't seem to place that name.

All right, stranger, put 'em up nice and high.

That's fine. Now, just hold that.

Fool. What were you waiting for? An invitation?

Just wanted to hear him say his peace.

I guess you can put 'em down now.

- What's this all about? - Who are you, stranger?

I'm called Shenandoah.

You got a real name?

That's the name I answer to.

You wouldn't be Bill Toland, would you?

Bill Toland?

What makes you think that?

That's what Fordy Brown told me.

He missed his train and came down here to tell me

you were "wanted" in Denver.

Wanted for what?

Andy, run down to the station

and have Ed Mitchell send a wire to Denver.

Tell him I'm holding a suspect I think is Bill Toland.

And tell him to rush my instructions.

The jail's this way. Now, don't try anything.

I handled a few tough cases in my day

and I still shoot pretty good.

What did Brown tell you I was wanted for?

Robbery and murder.

Why doesn't he accuse me to my face?

No chance of that, he rented a horse

and high-tailed out of here.

You can't hold me, sheriff.

You got no proof and no evidence.

And I never heard of Bill Toland.

Well, I have. And there's a reward out for him.

That's a nice looking horse. Looks like he can run a little.

Yeah, I was just gonna go out and chase a chicken thief.

I heard you were in town.

No reward for chicken thieves?

No, just bank robbers.

Come on, let's go.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[TELEGRAPH CLINKING]

"Bill Toland incarcerated Colorado State Prison.

Your suspect's unknown here."

If he ain't Toland, I wonder who he really is.

Heh. I'll bet the sheriff is gonna be mighty,

mighty embarrassed.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Howdy.

What do you want?

Oh, just a little information.

- You see a fella ride by here? - No.

Wearing a loud suit, a couple of hours ago, maybe less?

Nobody went by here all day.

That's funny. His tracks lead right in that saddleback.

Why don't you follow him if you're all that smart?

I lost him in the rocks.

You could save me a lot of time if you tell me

what direction he took.

North.

North, huh?

[METAL CLINKS]

He pay you to say that?

Mister, I don't like you calling me a liar.

Now, suppose you get back on that horse

and ride off my property.

What's jingling in your pocket?

What do you got in your pocket?

- Where'd you get the money? - Saved it up.

And you carry it with you when you mend fences?

What direction did he take?

North.

What did he tell you?

Said he had to get away, or you'd kill him.

I'd kill him?

- Why should I kill him? - I don't know. He didn't say.

Look, mister, he just give me this money

to point you in the wrong direction.

I don't want a part of this fight. You take it. You take it.

I don't want your money.

You awake?

Can you hear me?

Speak up. I wanna know if you can hear me.

I can hear you.

All right, now, get this through your head.

I am through running.

Now, we're gonna talk this out right here and now

or you're gonna stay here till you rot.

Now, what's it gonna be?

You're the one that ran.

I wanted to talk this morning.

Oh.

You want some coffee?

Yeah.

How do you feel?

I feel like I fell of a horse. Ow.

It's a wonder you didn't break your neck.

I thought you were dead. Watch it. It's hot.

Thanks.

I don't know what else I could have done.

You just kept coming and coming.

I couldn't keep running forever.

Why run at all?

Why? Because I was scared.

Did you ever see a man you thought

had been dead for four years?

When I looked up and saw you in that window,

I thought I was having a bad dream.

When you yelled at me, I thought you were coming after me.

I don't even know your name.

You told the sheriff it was Bill Toland.

Well, I had to get some daylight between us.

That's the only outlaw I could think of.

As soon as I said it, I knew it wouldn't hold you up for long.

- Why not? - 'Cause...

Toland's already in prison over in Colorado.

Look, it's been four years.

Now, can't we just let bygones be bygones?

That's the trouble, my friend.

It's been so long ago, I don't ever remember

seeing your face.

You mean that?

You really don't remember me?

I've been running for nothing.

I've been running all day long like a rabbit scared to death,

and you don't even remember me.

Then why you been chasing me?

When I saw you at the station, I knew that you recognized me.

You said this all happened four years ago. Well...

I can only remember three months back.

Can you tell me who I am?

You mean you don't even know your own name?

No.

I'm sorry. Here, let me get you out of these, huh?

How can a man lose his memory?

I guess that's a stupid question.

If you knew where you lost it, you'd go try to find it again.

If I knew where to look.

Well, I'll help you all I can.

I don't know much.

It was fall of '66.

Little town called Obion.

- Obion? - Yeah, it was a...

It was a bad year. It was just after the war.

Jobs were scarce.

I worked the roundup for the Hanging C Ranch.

Then I got laid off.

I rode into town with $20 in my pocket

and winter coming on.

Then I got lucky.

So I thought.

The town needed a sheriff. It paid $40 a month and lodging.

All I had to do for it was just cool off the cowboys

on Saturday night if they got too much liquor...

so I thought.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[RAIN TRICKLING]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Ray Carpin.

I don't guess I'll ever forget that name.

I don't suppose you even remember it.

Ray Carpin?

No.

Who was he?

He was a gunfighter from the border country.

Had a big reputation and I guess he deserved it.

He killed nine men, not counting Indians.

And me the sheriff of Obion.

What did you do?

Well, I did the only sensible thing there was to do.

I had a drink...

and prayed he would stay in town long.

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOTS]

[GUNSHOTS]

[GUNSHOTS]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Sheriff, Ray Carpin just gunned down Huey Nelson.

Huey should have had more sense than to try to take Carpin.

Want a drink?

Do I want a drink?

Huey was no gunfighter.

He didn't stand a chance against Carpin.

He was pushed into it.

You're the law around here. You could have stopped it.

Where were you?

I was right in here.

Scared, huh? Too yellow to do your job.

How'd you ever get to be sheriff, mister?

You're not even a man.

You're just gutless.

You can talk big, 'cause you don't have to back it up.

It was your friend that got killed out there, not mine.

If you're so brave, you do something about it.

Give me a gun and I will.

All right, I'll take care of Carpin.

And then I'm coming back for you.

If this town doesn't string you up...

I'm gonna kill you.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

After that, I knew I could never face Ray Carpin.

Or the townspeople, or myself.

So I just got on my horse and rode away.

Don't you see, you were no match

for a gunslinger like Carpin.

I sent you out there to get killed.

Then how did I get here?

I don't know.

All I know is I've been seeing you in my dreams

for the last four years lying beside that kid Huey.

Huey.

I wonder who Huey was.

He was some kid in town, I didn't know him very well.

I only laid eyes on you that once, until this morning.

I guess it was yesterday morning.

Then you can't tell me my name

or where I'm from? Nothing?

Only what I told you.

You think anybody in Obion would know me?

Well, it must have been some friends of Huey's there.

Maybe they'd remember you.

You wanna come back with me?

No.

That's four years and 700 miles behind me.

And I'm too ashamed of that part of my life.

No hard feelings.

None.

It's funny.

I've been trying to forget that town,

and you've been trying to remember it.

But now I know exactly where to look.
