[NARRATOR] Another time, another town,

another trail that could lead back

to all the lost yesterdays.

Another place to search in danger

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

For a man called Shenandoah.

[SHERIFF BEN] If you're hunting for bounty,

there ain't much game around here.

And if you're looking to get signed on...

I'm full up on deputies.

And if you're...

riding into town just for excitement...

you picked the wrong town.

Yeah, and if it's none of those things?

I've been in my trade too long

not to know a drifter when I first see him.

And I'm too weary...

to have much patience with hard cases

that ride into town looking to buy trouble.

Well, you're not too worried to jump

to a lot of wrong conclusions.

All right, what do you want?

Simple fact is I'm looking for a man.

We have all kinds of men

ride in and out of this town every day.

I understand this one lives here.

Jason Brewster.

Your first step through that door,

I knew that you were a fool one to kill himself.

But you're lucky.

I haven't seen him in over a year.

That was 100 miles from here...

when I was marshalling in Tularosa.

That's funny, I was told he lived here in Santa Fe.

Well, you was told wrong.

I got the information from his brother's wife.

You family to Brewster?

No.

But I've got some questions I think he can answer.

Like what? Like, "How fast are you really, Mr. Brewster?

Have you killed 14 men already, Mr. Brewster?

I'm pretty good with a gun.

Have you heard of me, Mr. Brewster?"

No, those aren't the questions I had in mind...

and I've come too far to get the answers secondhand.

Well, I've already told you.

He isn't here. He's in Tularosa.

Then you won't mind if I nose around.

Not so fast.

First I'm gonna ask you for $3.

- For what? - I said $3.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah, and I said what for?

The undertakers in my town don't work for free.

? 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 ?

? So lonely ?

[PLEASANT MUSIC PLAYING]

Double shot of whisky, please.

In a clean glass, please.

Busy bar this time of day.

Mister, when you live at one end of the Santa Fe trail,

a lot of people keep coming and going.

Yeah, I guess that's so.

I'm looking for a very special man.

Jason Brewster.

[BARTENDER] No, I don't know him,

and I don't wanna know him.

But I've heard of him, of course.

They say he already killed 14 men,

but everyone around here, I guess, knows that.

Hello.

Hello.

Uh, I'm Ellie. I work here.

I'm called Shenandoah. I'm just visiting.

[CHUCKLES] Oh. The boss says that

if I stay very close and talk pretty

that the customers drink more.

Smart boss. I mean, he knows a lot about human nature.

Are you just riding through?

Mm-hm. Just riding through.

Business?

Not really. I'm looking for Jason Brewster.

Oh.

I don't know him.

But you've heard of him.

Well, if he doesn't come in here...

he doesn't live in this town.

I thought everybody had heard of him.

I mean, when a man has 14 notches

on the handle of his gun, he gets to be pretty famous.

Why don't you stop worrying about this man that you've lost

and start paying some attention to the girl you just found?

Not a bad idea.

I'll look you up later on...

when I don't have such complicated things on my mind.

All right.

Count on it.

Bartender, I'm buying the lady a drink.

Thank you.

Good morning, Ben.

Not... It's not good.

A fella just rode into town asking about you.

- Gunfighter? - Could be.

Looks like he could handle himself.

I guess it had to happen sooner or later.

No, it don't.

[SCOFFS] We both knew I couldn't go on hiding out here forever.

How do you hide a legend?

Only Ellie and me know that, who you really are.

Nobody else in town knows anything else to tell him.

So, let him nose around for a few days.

He won't find out nothing, and he'll be on his way.

If he isn't?

Well, he will be.

Just lay low for a few days.

Let him find another gunfighter to get famous on.

Fred, I'm not feeling too well.

I'm going to my room and lie down.

- You look after things here. - Yeah, sure thing, Mr. Wilson.

Much obliged, Ben.

I thought you'd be well on your way by now.

- [SHENANDOAH] I was out my $3. - [FRED] Can I help you?

[SHENANDOAH] Yes, I'd like a box of.44 shells, please.

- [SHENANDOAH] Steel jackets. - Yes, sir, sure thing.

And if you have the right size,

I think I could be interested in that light hat.

7 and a half.

[SHENANDOAH] I think we're in luck.

Jason.

It's him.

No.

You can't do anything.

We've had a whole wonderful year together.

We're just starting a whole new life.

I have to.

Jason...

don't I count in this?

You don't know what he did?

No, and I don't care.

That doesn't matter anymore. It's in the past.

It's not worth gunfighting for.

You're wrong, Ellie.

The past is worth fighting for, worth killing for.

He killed my brother.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Who is it?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[ELLIE] It's Ellie.

Ellie?

Hello.

[CHUCKLES] Hello. I told you I'd look you up later on.

I know, but I had to come and see you.

Well, what is it?

You were asking about a man called Jason Brewster.

That's right.

Do you still wanna know about him?

Of course, I do.

Well, I can tell you where he is.

Come on in.

This afternoon you said you never heard of him.

Well, that was this afternoon.

I can tell you where he is for $50.

$50 is a lot of money.

All right, then make it 20.

What makes you think I'm that interested in the information?

Well, you can take it or you can leave it.

Where do I find him?

The reason I didn't tell you before...

is because I used to be his girl.

But I'm not anymore so it doesn't matter.

Where do I find him?

He said he'd be on the trail to Tularosa.

He said he was tired of the scenery around here.

So if you hurry, you can probably catch him.

That's a sad tale of woe...

but you and the sheriff ought to get your stories straight.

He told me he lived in Tularosa a year ago.

Now I'm sure he's here.

Thank you.

If you do...

he'll kill you.

Bye.

Uh, look, Jason, I thought we had this all figured out.

You was to lay low until he gave up

and rode out on his way.

That was before I saw who he was.

You got a whole new life started here.

Is just seeing him, uh, enough to throw that all away?

What about all the plans that you made with Ellie?

All the plans a man can make...

come to nothing when he comes face to face with his past.

Well, thanks for trying, Ben.

You've been a good friend.

[PLEASANT MUSIC PLAYING]

Mr. Brewster?

I'd appreciate a few words with you.

You certainly favor your brother.

His wife told me I'd recognize you

the moment I saw you.

Whisky?

[SHENANDOAH] Why not?

Not just now, Ellie.

We'll be talking about things private.

Later?

Later.

We won't be talking.

Things won't be all that private.

Well, I'll just invite myself back for later then.

Now...

what do you want?

I wanna know what you have against me.

You don't know?

If I knew, I wouldn't ask.

My brother, Jeremy...

just 17 years old

and full of all the life he still had coming to him...

you killed him.

That's what I've got against you.

I promised myself there'd be no killing in town today.

So you better start moving.

Not yet.

Mister...

just because you got one paid up in full funeral coming to you...

don't mean you have to try to collect on it in such a hurry.

Mr. Brewster said some things I don't understand.

And I'm not leaving town until I do.

You don't have to worry, Ben.

I'm not gonna kill him... yet.

Be getting off too easy that way.

No, I've got a better plan for you.

You said I killed your brother. Where?

- Near Vicksburg. - There's more to it than that.

You were just some Union lieutenant

my brothers and I captured

when we were riding with the guerillas.

And that's all you're gonna tell me?

We kept you alive hoping to trade you

for some of our own men who'd been caught.

- How long was I a prisoner? - Couple days.

We were waiting for an answer to our trade offer.

Jeremy was standing guard when you escaped.

You killed him.

But that was an act of war.

War, peace, Jeremy's just as dead.

Well, now you're here, and I'm going to have my revenge.

There isn't any way you can win.

Even if you win, you lose.

You mean I'll be the man who killed Jason Brewster?

And from then on, every kid who's looking

for a quick reputation will come after me.

It's about the size of it.

That's just how it'd be.

Every morning you'd wake up wondering

which kid are you gonna kill today...

or which one is going to kill you.

You're finished.

We both are.

Sunup, tomorrow.

Don't, please.

Because if you do...

you'll be walking around dead...

just like he is.

Bartender.

Go ahead and draw.

You're not standing there with any real choice.

If it's my choice, you make the first move.

[GUNSHOT]

[GUNSHOTS]

I'll get you to a doctor.

How is he, Doc?

Well, he'll be all right.

That right hand of his is shattered good and proper.

No more gunfighting for him.

Maybe he'll be able to do what a gunfighter seldom does.

Live to an old age.

[CHUCKLES] Could be.

You must be pretty fast.

Not that fast, Sheriff.

Brewster could have taken me if he wanted to.

He didn't really try.

I wonder what he was thinking about.

I think maybe he was tired of killing.

Yeah.

Maybe.

Too bad you didn't get the rest of your questions answered.

I learned everything he could tell me...

and maybe a little bit more.

What do you mean?

I could have killed him, and I didn't.

That's something worth knowing about yourself.

It seems to me you owe me $3.

Who pays the doctor?

I think I will.

? Once more I failed ?

? To learn the answer ?

? Once more I walk ?

? This land so lonely ?

? Oh, Shenandoah ?

? You're doomed to wander ?

? So roam ?

? In search of home ?

? 'Cross this land ?

? So lonely ?
