Hee-hee!

What a bell!

30 maybe 40 feet it come down,

and not a crack in it.

I'm glad the bell's all right.

Aw, you think I do not worry for you?

I looked to see you're all right,

then I looked to see if the bell is all right.

You hungry, thirsty?

Huh?

Some meat, bread, water?

Come on.

Come on, come on. I give it to you!

Come on, come on.

Whoa, son, whoa!

Come on, come on.

Here.

Looks to me like you're pretty short here.

Eat. There's plenty.

You know, this town it was attacked

by the Indians so often that the people,

they had to go away. Just leave it.

And the bell? Heh.

Now, it's going to ring from our town.

Where is your town?

I'm from Taos, just, uh,

25 miles the road. That's all.

I can see right now that moving that bell

is going to be a big job.

You look like a pretty strong man to me.

I'm going north to Wellington Falls.

Got to meet a man there.

I see.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

He could not wait for some extra time?

Nope, I can't risk the chance of missing him.

[MAN] You would only be delayed a couple of days.

Can't afford that delay.

I'm going on to Wellington Falls.

Nothing's gonna stop that.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

I am Father Rodriguez.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

? Oh Shenandoah ?

? You're doomed to wander ?

? On beyond ?

? This land so lonely ?

? Oh Shenandoah ?

? You're doomed to wander ?

? So roam ?

? In search of home ?

? Across this land ?

? So lonely ??

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Come on, Perezoso. That's good.

Whoa.

[GROANS]

You're plannin' to cart this bell to Taos?

Yes.

How you gonna get it on the wagon?

With Gods help.

Are you of the faith, my son?

I don't know.

Look, I owe you something for the food and the water.

I'll help you load it up, huh?

Gracias. Thank you.

You can take the cassock off now, father.

All right.

All right.

Let her down.

Oh!

[PANTS]

Look, uh...

I'll hold it, you guide it.

All right.

Go ahead.

- You okay? - Yeah.

All right.

- Come down. - All right.

- Get her in the center! - All right.

[SIGHS]

[PANTS]

Shenandoah, that is a name I've never heard before.

I wasn't born with it.

That's why I got to get to Wellington Falls.

There's a man there that may know my real name.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Well, thank you very much.

You're welcome, padre.

- I will pray for you. - Thanks.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

Perezoso!

Perezoso.

[MULE BRAYING]

Come on! Perezoso!

[MULE BRAYING]

Perezoso. Perezoso!

You got a lot of confidence in that mule, padre.

Huh? It's a pity.

Such a small one for such a large bell.

Well, I guess I could give you hand.

Help you get it up that hill.

You will see, it is not far at all.

- What isn't? - My village, Taos.

You will get food and drink for the rest of your journey.

You misunderstand, padre.

I'll help you get up the hill.

From then on, you're on your own.

First thing you better do is lash this bell to the wagon.

Oh, of course! I have rope right here.

Good.

I forgot all about that.

Come on, padre.

Hey, come on!

Hey, hey! Hey, hey!

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey!

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

Come on!

Come on!

Whoa, come on, come on.

Come on. Whoa.

Whoa. Hup.

Come on.

Whoa, whoa.

- Ha-ha-ha. - Put the brakes on.

- Put the brake on. - Praise the lord!

You see? That was not hard.

Whoo!

Hold up a minute, father.

My horse seems to have picked up a stone here. Whoa.

Padre, what makes this bell so important to you? Thank you.

What is the most important job for a priest, huh?

I'm afraid you'll have to tell me.

It is to bring his people closer to God.

That is what I think.

[SIGHS] Yeah?

Well, to do that the people must have faith in him.

That is what I think too.

But I have failed to get my people to have faith in me.

In what way have you failed?

Ah, I'm ignorant, that is not easy to say,

but I do not have much brains.

I want to show...

I want...

[GRUNTS]

You see, I cannot find words to say what is in my heart.

It is the same with my people. I cannot... I...

What has that got to do with the bell?

Uh. Uh-heh.

When I bring them the bell, I hope, I hope they will say,

"It is true Father Rodriguez is an ignorant man,

"but he must love us very much to bring us that bell.

We will follow him."

And in that way, I will bring 'em closer to God.

You understand?

Yeah, I think I do.

[LAUGHS]

Looks like we're being watched.

Something is wrong?

You get along all right now, padre.

Good luck with the bell.

You're leaving, why?

You think, perhaps, he's after you?

A lot of people could be after me.

I could've done a lot of things.

And if he is, you'll be better off without me around.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

That sure is a big bell, ain't it, Rafferty?

Yeah, I think you're right about that bell, Larson.

- Looks like gold to me. - Sure, it's gold.

Didn't I tell ya?

It's Aztec gold.

The Spaniards made everything out of Aztec gold.

That is bronze.

Bronze, huh?

That's what you want us to believe, huh?

Where you takin' it?

To hang in my church.

I'm a priest.

Priest?

Where's your gun?

All right, search the wagon.

Larson.

He is a priest.

[LARSON] So, he's a priest. What about it?

Well, that means he's telling the truth.

He's taking this bell to his church.

Maybe, but it's still made of gold.

He's lying about that.

I will not let you take the bell.

Unhitch the mule.

Now, this is just to show you that we mean business, padre.

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOTS]

[UP-TEMPO MUSIC]

Perezoso!

- Larson! He's a priest! - Yeah?

Let him keep that bell. I got no stomach for this.

You got no stomach for it, get out of here.

Get up on those rocks. You don't even have to look.

Larson, you can't kill a priest!

You can't! Now, get up on those rocks.

And don't worry, you'll get your cut of the gold.

It is bronze of little likely value to anybody!

The more you keep telling me it's bronze,

the sure I am it's gold! Now, get over there.

You will have to shoot me before I let you take that bell!

Okay, padre. Have it your way.

[SHENANDOAH] Drop it.

There are two of them!

[GUNSHOT]

Okay.

Now, you drop it.

T-t-the bell means nothing to him.

There is no need to take his life.

Well, I'm not the one to kill

when there ain't no reason for it.

So, why don't you get on your horse and ride on out.

Thank you.

Why don't you do the same thing, padre.

Thank you, but I will not leave the bell.

Believe me, it is not made of gold.

That's what you keep telling me.

Gold?

He thinks it is made of gold!

Anybody with half a brain

knows a bell like that can't be made of gold.

Gold is soft. It won't ring.

A bullet would go right through that if it was made of gold.

But you can't shoot at it! You will damage the bell!

Yeah?

[GUNSHOTS]

[GRUNTS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[GUNSHOT]

Get down, father!

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOTS]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Mmm.

I didn't know you spoke my language.

You said, "What a pity, because of greed

two men are dead."

You said, "He who lives by the sword,

shall perish by the sword."

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

I have a task, my son.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Hold it right there.

Whoa.

This here is a toll bridge.

Oh, I know my, son, I have already paid

the dollar coming the other way.

The fee don't go for both ways.

One dollar one way, one dollar the other.

I didn't know that.

Well, uh...

Look, uh...

Can't you see he's the clergy?

I mean, does that make a difference?

Sure, I charge less for clergy.

- You got to pay two dollars. - Two...

And there's a, there's a dollar for the freight.

You total it up, Ivy.

Dollar for the clergy, two for the freight,

five for the non-clergy.

Eight dollars.

He just said, it was two dollars for me.

Well, that's, uh, that's comin' the other way.

You got any money, mister?

I think, I got six dollars.

We're fair folk.

We'll let you all across for six dollars.

Shoot him, John, shoot him! He'll kill ya!

I'm gonna stuff this thing right down your throat.

- Come on, father, let's go. - No, no, no!

But these people are thieves!

It is their bridge, they have a right

to charge a toll if they want too!

Now, look, there is a ford three miles up the stream.

We can go across there.

Now, you want me to ford the stream?

How far is it to Taos if we use the bridge?

One mile.

One mile.

All right, padre, this is what I want you to do.

Cross the bridge. I'll pay the toll.

Then you go to the village, tell your people about the bell.

Let them come back and pay the rest of the toll.

No, no, this bell is a present for them.

I can't ask them to come and pay for it.

All right, I'll pay.

No, I won't let you do that! You need the money!

Padre, I can't afford to waste anymore time here!

I cannot take your money!

You're the most stubborn, obstinate man I've ever seen!

Now, that's my horse, and I need him.

Now, I'm gonna get that bell of yours

to Taos so help me...

With or without you!

You understand?

With or without you!

Now, giddyup!

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Whoa!

You all right?

Huh?

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

Come on, get in.

[NEIGHS]

Whoa, son, whoa. Whoa.

Six dollars.

Thank you for paying the toll.

Forget it.

All the same, you are a stubborn, obstinate man!

That is the pot calling the kettle black.

You, you, you, you, you are a puzzlement, you know?

You, you tell me y-you have no name,

but you're called Shenandoah.

You don't know your faith, but you quote the Bible.

Like I said...

You, you, you're a puzzlement.

Life is a puzzle, padre.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

We're here, padre.

- Where have you been, padre? - We needed you!

I know, I have been away a long time...

but I brought you something.

A surprise!

- What did you bring? - Ah.

I have brought you...

a bell for the tower!

- A bell? - Who needs a bell?

So while you were away, Mrs. Tomasino

could have given birth.

You should've been here, father, to bless her.

But she was not due until next month.

And poor Senor Sanchez, in agony with brain fever.

Suppose he had died?

And who was here to give him extreme unction?

Well, I, uh, I...

Did you hear that?

It took five days to bring a bell.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[CHATTER CONTINUES]

You people don't seem to know how well off you are,

but if Father Rodriguez ever leaves

this village, you'll wish he hadn't.

But why would he leave us?

Because he thinks he's failed you.

Stop taking him for granted.

He nearly killed himself to bring that bell

to this village, for you people,

to show you that he loves you.

But if you can't feel the love in that man,

then I feel sorry for ya.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Look, I'm sorry about that, uh, padre.

Well...

So perhaps my people,

like all people, sometimes act like children.

I guess, you can't expect too much of people.

You gotta give 'em time and...

in time, everybody understands, I guess.

I pray that... I can...

learn to live with my disappointments.

I hope and pray...

that you, too...

can live with your disappointment...

and be that much stronger.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[BELL TOLLS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

You will forgive us, father,

but sometimes we become lost like sheep.

We would like to hang the bell.

Si, since you brought it,

although I don't know why, when we already have you.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[ALL] Vamos!

[BELL TOLLS]

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Can I go to Wellington Falls now, padre?

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

You want some food, something to eat?

Not again.
