[MAN] That's it.

Come on, keep it coming.

Now I don't want you to get the idea that you can do...

[GUNSHOTS]

? 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 ?

? 'Cross this land ?

[NARRATOR READING]

[NARRATOR] A search for shadows can lead anywhere.

Prairie, desert, mountain,

booming city, or frontier town.

Each can hide a secret answer

or an unknown danger for a man with no name,

no memory, no past.

For a man called Shenandoah.

You've been through those posters a dozen times, Sheriff.

When are you gonna be satisfied

that my face isn't on one of them?

Mr. Shenandoah...

my town's bank's just been hit for every dollar in it,

and I'm running out of patience.

And I've told you, I don't know the man who robbed the bank.

Well, he knew you.

Knew you and hated you enough

to have a try at killing you.

Even at the risk of maybe not making good his own escape.

Yeah, there's no doubt about that.

And you're still saying you don't know him?

You'll just have to take my word for it, Sheriff.

As far as I remember,

I never saw that man before in my life.

And I don't remember being

in the bank-robbing business either.

But if I were, I'd hardly be calmly checking into a hotel

while my partner rode out of town with all that money.

Now would I?

Maybe you got a point there.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Sheriff, they're outside.

We've got some pretty good men this time.

Fine.

I've had some experience tracking, Sheriff.

I'd like to ride with you.

We've got trackers enough.

I've never seen a posse that couldn't use another man.

The man tried to kill me, Sheriff,

and I have every intention of finding out why.

Nobody's got a better reason to hunt him than I have.

Like I said before...

maybe you got a point there.

Looks to me like it leads off that way.

Yeah.

Then again, it could lead up there.

Whoever he is, he sure knows how to lose a posse.

Lose them two or three times.

Like he's lost us.

[SIGHS] All right, we'll find a spot to bed down.

Then we'll give it one last try in the morning.

Come on.

And it's always the same way.

This fella hits one of these foothill towns

once, maybe twice a year.

Posses trail after him.

Nothing.

He leads us off

on one false trail after another.

Just like he's doing now.

Then he's gone.

Leaving no signs...

just leaving us.

All those trails leading nowhere.

You've been giving this fella a lot of extra thought.

Wouldn't you...

if a man you never saw before tried to gun you down?

No.

No, there's more to it than that.

While we've been riding, I've been watching the trail...

and I've been watching you.

You got some other kind of business with him

that's eating away inside you.

[WIND BLOWING]

[SHERIFF] Where have you been?

I was up at first light, and you'd already left camp.

I couldn't sleep, and I thought I might as well

use the time looking for the trail.

And?

The tracks lead to a shelf of rock

about 2 miles up there, and then they disappear.

Riding back, I realized that

we've been wasting a lot of time looking for tracks.

What we should be looking for is a pass through the mountains.

I've lived in these parts all my life.

There is no pass in those mountains.

He couldn't have backtracked by us, Sheriff.

There's got to be a pass.

[SIGHS] No.

You're welcome to stay and look for that pass

from now until spring.

I've got a town that needs looking after.

- Frank? - [FRANK] Yeah.

Pour out some of that hot coffee for Mr. Shenandoah.

Then we are heading back.

[FRANK] Good.

He's getting so big.

He grows and grows.

- Coffee's getting cold. - Mm-hm.

He's growing, and the herd's growing,

and before you know it, I'm gonna have

enough money saved up from all that extra work...

to buy all the breeding stock we need.

Everything's gonna be just fine.

It is now.

Uh, Angie, I've gotta go away again

for another couple of days.

Cattle have to be moved down to winter pasture.

But you just got back...

just a few hours ago.

Well, uh, cows looking for winter feed

don't care when I got back.

It will only be a couple of days or so.

Angie.

Angie.

You know...

when I've been away from you...

and I come home...

and I see you standing there for that first time...

and I can't talk

remembering how much I love you.

When that happens...

I don't know how I can bear to be away

from you for even one hour.

You see...

it has to be important,

or I, I wouldn't go away again so soon.

[KNOCKS]

Good afternoon.

My, uh, my horse

threw his shoe at the head of the pass.

Uh, I guess if I'm honest with myself, I'm lost too.

Well, you wandered a long ways off the trail.

That's not hard to do in these mountains.

I thought perhaps your husband could help me

find my way back to town.

My husband is dead.

I've been widowed for four years.

Well then, maybe your hired hand could direct me.

No, I don't have a hired hand. There's no man here.

I work the ranch alone.

It's a pretty big spread for a woman to run all alone.

I manage.

You'll find everything you want out in the barn.

It's in the back there.

Once you get your horse shoed...

you can be on your way before nightfall.

Much obliged.

[SCOFFS] The coffee's not that bad.

Get a little edgy when you ride the trail alone.

I get a little edgy myself out here alone.

I'm sorry if I was rude before.

You never did get into who you are.

I'm called Shenandoah.

I'm Angie Brewster.

Howdy?

How much longer do you think you'll be?

Oh, an hour, maybe two.

Well, you're welcome to stay for supper.

Much obliged.

I'd still like you to move on before it gets dark.

I bet you're the first one

that's ever rode in here by mistake.

Isn't that right, Ma?

Mm, that's right.

We don't get many strangers around here.

In fact... we don't get any.

Jamie, those chores are not gonna get done by themselves.

It's the first time I've had supper

at a table in a long time.

It's good too.

You keep staring out at that horizon.

You waiting for someone?

No, there's just something about the valley

that seems familiar.

You didn't just happen to be riding here.

You headed up here for a reason, didn't you?

Look at me, Mrs. Brewster.

Are you sure you've never seen me before?

I'm sure.

Your husband knows me.

My husband is dead. I told you that.

Knows me and hates me enough that he tried to kill me

three days ago in Canyon City.

I have been a widow for four years.

Must have been another man.

Same man who rode out of here this morning.

- No, not the... - I'd have gone after him...

Not here. There's no man here!

You don't have to lie to me, Mrs. Brewster.

I'm not a lawman, and I'm not looking for bounty.

But your husband tried to kill me,

deliberately kill me, and I don't know why.

That's a question I have a right to ask.

Ask your questions.

I'll try and answer them.

Did your husband ever talk to you

about a man that he hated?

I mean, hated so much

that he was willing to risk his own life to kill him?

No.

It might have been during the war.

I was an officer in the Union Army.

No, couldn't have been during the war.

How can you be so sure?

Because you said you were in the army...

and my husband wasn't in the army during the war.

What did he do?

He rode with the irregulars.

Is that your word for guerrilla?

That's all over.

You can't hurt him now after all these years.

I didn't come here to hurt him,

but I've got to get some answers.

Why does the past always have to keep haunting us?

We came all the way to this hidden valley...

just to keep it from catching up with us.

You can't run away from anything you wanna forget.

He's a different man than he was during the war.

A woman knows the man that she married.

My husband...

he's a good man.

And he's worked harder than any man ought to...

carving all of this out of wilderness

for Jamie and me.

But I know how quick he is to hate.

And if he tried to kill you today...

he's gonna try it again.

Good or bad, I love him more than

I've ever loved anything on this Earth.

I couldn't bear to think of any harm coming...

I'm not gonna harm him. Why don't you believe me?

I believe what I see.

And I see you riding in here looking for him.

I'm asking you...

to get on your horse and ride out of here

before my husband gets back.

I won't do that.

I won't have my boy see his father gunfighting.

There isn't gonna be any gunfight,

not if I have my way.

You'll just have to believe that.

[SOBBING]

[GUNSHOT]

Brewster!

Brewster, I'm not looking for trouble.

I, I just wanna talk to ya!

Do ya hear me? I've got to talk to ya.

You're covered.

Put your right hand above your head and turn around.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

[GRUNTS]

[SCREAMING]

I know you tried.

But I know my husband.

Sooner or later, it had to end up this way.

But at least your boy will remember his father

the way you wanted him to.

But I didn't get what I wanted.

Mm.

Are you sure you can't help me?

Hm.

Ah, for what it's worth...

my husband and his brother, they hated someone.

He was a...

an officer during the war.

You might talk to him. You heard of, uh...

Jason Brewster?

Often.

Gunfighters have a way of being known.

Hm.

Well, he might have your answers.

Last I heard, he was somewhere in Santa Fe.

I don't think I'm doing you much favor

sending you looking for him.

Maybe more than you know.

Hm.

Goodbye.
