[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[NARRATOR] A momentary stop on a cattle drive for some,

still a new place to search and to hope

for a man with no name, no memory, no past.

For a man called Shenandoah.

Ben, when you finish your supper

I want you to get half a dozen men

and get the herd settled down to grazing

on the far side of that rise.

Might as well fatten them up a bit before

we drive them into market.

Jerry, Ed, Mason, you,

you're riding herd tonight.

The rest of you are free to loosen up in town

if you want to.

[HORSES GALLOPING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- This Jeff Clarkson's drive? - That's right.

- You ramrodding this drive? - You're right again.

- What's your name? - I'm called Shenandoah.

Can I do something for you, marshal?

Shenandoah.

Well, Shenandoah, I don't want any trouble in my town.

We're not bringing any trouble.

We're gonna graze some cows and pick up some supplies.

Thirsty, restless cowpokes with no money in their pockets

still spell a lot of trouble.

There's a bank draft waiting at the telegraph office.

You don't have to worry, marshal.

Yes, sir, marshal, we're just going to drink up

on our thirst and do a little carrying on.

Especially you, Clayton.

[LAUGHS]

Then we'll ride the rest of those cows on into market

a lot of wiser and sadder men.

Bank draft's not in.

Are you sure of that?

It could mean you'll be waiting for a long time.

You see, I heard about Jeff Clarkson's last drive

over in Arizona.

None of the men ever got paid.

Now, I'm not gonna have what's happened before,

a bunch of mean, unpaid cowpokes

fighting and shooting at everything in sight,

cattle stranded where they stand,

no buyers to buy them and no men to drive them on.

That's not going to happen, marshal.

Just see that it don't, Mr. Shenandoah.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

What's this story the marshal was talking about?

Nothing for you to worry about, Will.

That ain't exactly an answer, Shenandoah.

The answer is, we're all going to get paid.

Don't worry.

Could be that marshal is right.

Could be we were signed on to months of hard work

we're not going to see a dollar from.

No, it can't be.

I gotta get paid.

I just gotta.

That money don't show up,

Shenandoah's in a lot more trouble

than he thinks he is.

[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 ??

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[MAN] Hey, come on into town, Will.

[UP-TEMPO MUSIC]

[MEN WHOOPING]

Come on, Will...

You've spent as many man-hours as anybody,

why don't you go into town, have yourself a time?

Aw, there's nothing in town that interests me.

Except that payoff money.

As soon as I get that in my kick,

I'm gonna ride over that hill,

I'm gonna get back to my little baby

just as soon as I can get there.

[SIGHS]

What made you ever leave her?

Oh, wages.

You remember what we agreed on,

that I come this far and then I get paid.

That was our agreement.

But what if I don't get paid?

Will you stop worrying?

I never worried much about wages before,

but, I mean, I always manage, but...

I got this little woman...

She's made an ugly world seem kind of pretty to me.

You're a lucky man, Will.

I wish I had a family.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

You're thinking about that locket, ain't you?

I've seen you on the trail every once in a while

looking at those little pictures in the locket.

You always get that far away look in your eyes.

You saw more than I figured.

I didn't know it showed.

Well, I'm going into town.

I've got some business to take care of.

About the money?

- Yeah, that's part of it. - Could I ride in with you?

Why not?

Part of it belongs to you.

[UP-TEMPO MUSIC]

- Howdy. - Could I help you?

Yeah, I'm the ramrod on the Clarkson drive.

It hasn't come. The bank draft you're expecting, sir.

The marshal told me to keep alert

and let him know right quick when it came in.

He's been worrying about it, too.

You know, he had you spotted three days coming in the trail?

The marshal's quite a worrier, isn't he?

I already told you why once.

I'll be responsible for my men, marshal.

I still aim to see there's no trouble in my town.

And I'll do my best to oblige.

Can you tell me where I could find Jason Carter's place?

Yeah, his shop is right next to the hotel.

- Much obliged. - Shenandoah.

What would a broke cowhand want with a silversmith?

Unless I'm mistaken, marshal,

that's none of your business.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Will.

Well, look at them pretties.

Can I help you?

Well, yes, are you Mr. Carter?

Nope, I'm just the clerk. Mr. Carter's out of town.

What is it you want?

Well, I, uh...

I was told this could have been made in your shop.

Hmm.

Looks a little worn.

It's a couple of years old for sure.

I guess so, did it come from here?

Well, it could have.

Looks like Jason Carter's mark.

Can't you be sure?

No, you'll have to wait on Jason for that answer.

- Well when is he due back? - A couple of hours, maybe.

Well, that's no wait at all.

I'll be across the street at the saloon.

You want something there?

Yeah, I want it all.

I especially like this piece.

Listen to that, Shenandoah.

Annie Laurie.

Mister, I, I got an Annie Laurie.

Got a piece of land, a house...

and in the house, Annie Laurie sits and sews,

bakes and scrubs for me.

She cries when I'm gone and...

she laughs happy when I come home.

I'm going to bring this home with me.

'Cause it is sweet...

and pretty and gentle, just like she is.

Cost you five dollars.

Give me five dollars and the box is yours.

Well, I got a $100, uh,

coming to me, when I get paid...

That's fine. When you get paid, it'll be right here.

That money is coming, isn't it?

It's just a little late, like you said.

It's coming, it's just a little late.

Come on, I'll buy you a drink.

Much obliged.

To your wife, Will.

You heard anything from Clarkson?

No, no word yet.

The boys are anxious, Shenandoah.

We're getting to the bottom of the kick.

Well, I guess, we'll just have to be patient, Kirby.

Don't tell us about being patient, Shenandoah.

We been patient, all right.

We been patient for three long months,

haven't we, boys?

We're going to get our wages, you don't have to worry.

If Shenandoah says the money's

gonna be here, it's gonna be here.

Well, now, that's real comforting to hear, Will.

Real comforting.

You hear that, boys?

Big Will here says, we got nothing to worry about.

Everyone's getting all het up about nothing.

Hey, that's right, Will, nothing.

And you know what nothing is, don't you, Will?

Nothing, just like you.

[LAUGHTER]

I'd leave him alone if I were you, Clayton.

Hey, come on, Will.

Let's see that picture again.

Let's see what a gal looks like

that marries a nothing like you.

[LAUGHTER]

Get...

You listen! Listen.

All I have to do is put my thumb on your throat.

- And you'll never talk... - Will.

Now, you settle down, Clayton, or head back to camp.

- Go outside and get some air. - Oh, I'm sorry, Shenandoah,

You got nothing to be sorry about,

you just go on outside and cool off.

Once again, bartender.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

You asked me to let you know,

Jason Carter's back in the shop.

Thanks very much.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

Will!

Will!

Will!

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

And then I went over to the saloon and told that fellow,

you know, the fellow ramrodding the drive,

that Mr. Carter was back in the shop.

And now look what happened.

His skull is fractured, he's bleeding a lot inside,

and I don't think there's much hope.

Round up some men.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Okay, boys, let's go.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

What do you want?

I'm looking for Will Turner.

This is his place, isn't it?

What if it is?

I was on a cattle drive with him.

I'd like to see him.

What do you want with Will?

Are you, Mrs. Turner?

I suppose he told you I was his

little China doll, didn't he?

Yeah, that's what he called you.

He's forever telling people that.

Even himself, I guess.

And maybe I was once.

And if I'm not now, that's not altogether my fault.

Would you call him, please, tell him

Shenandoah wants to see him.

This morning air, oh, so chilly and so damp.

You've been riding quite a ways,

why don't you sit down, have a little drink

and warm yourself up?

No, I want to see Will.

Where is he?

He's out, building castles in the sky like he always is.

He's in some kind of trouble, isn't he?

Yeah, he may be.

He's been in trouble ever since I married him.

I can believe that.

It's a shame you see me looking like this.

You know, I used to be...

Nice and gentle and pretty.

You know, I was as pretty as a...

China doll.

I was just born to have good times,

men making a fuss over me and things.

I can't help it if men like me.

I can't help it if I like men a little bit, too.

I've got to get out of here.

I can't spend my life rotting away here.

You want the pig?

You can find him, out there groveling and crawling

like some beat-up hound dog.

Crawling, because I won't go back to him.

Look out in the barn, you'll find him out there

with all the other animals.

I ain't never going back to him.

You hear me?

I don't care how much money

and presents he brings me.

Never!

Will?

Shenandoah.

What brings you out this way?

I think you know.

Seems like I got a little trouble, Will.

You, uh, you remember me telling the marshal

that I'd be responsible for the men?

I remember.

Someone let me down.

Someone robbed, uh...

Jason Carter's shop.

You mean the little shop with all them pretties?

That's right.

Funny thing about it is, that the only thing they took

was that little music box.

You remember, you were looking at it.

The one that played Annie Laurie.

You don't think I did it?

I don't know, Will.

That's what I came to find out.

No, I never robbed no store.

Why were you in such a hurry to get out of town?

I hurried because...

I just couldn't wait any longer to see my little Millie.

Then why aren't you in the house with her?

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

I was in a hurry

because I wanted to bring her the present.

I think if I take it back, Will,

I can make things right with the marshal.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

[MUSIC BOX PLAYS]

I guess she just isn't my Annie Laurie.

I figured...

me coming home with a present,

all cleaned up, maybe she'd change about us.

I always had a dream that...

even if she didn't really love me that,

I loved her enough for the both of us.

I guess that was as stupid as everything else

I've ever done in my life.

As stupid as everything, I've ever done in this ugly world.

It's the only world I know.

I'm not ready to give it up yet. I...

Shenandoah, I went into that store to get that music box.

I didn't mean to hurt that man.

You didn't hurt anybody.

I'm afraid you're wrong.

Jason Carter was beat up pretty bad.

He died just before we rode out of town.

Now, Will, drop the gun.

I tried, marshal.

I tried to turn an animal into a man,

but it just can't be done.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

Marshal, no!

[GROANS]

I'm sorry, Shenandoah.

I spoiled the only chance you had to find out who you were.

I, I know how much it meant to you.

Don't worry about that, that's all past, Will.

[GROANS] The past.

[GROANS]

Yes, there's my past.

An ugly nightmare, that I pictured as a pretty dream.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Shenandoah.

Why did you try to stop me?

He was my friend.

He didn't mean to kill Carter.

In some ways, he's really not to blame.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

? The man I sought ?

? That day was buried ?

? Deep within ?

? The land so lonely ?

? Oh Shenandoah ?

? You're doomed to wander ?

? I'll roam ?

? In search of home ?

? Across the land ?

? So lonely ??
