Every man has a flaming star, a flaming star over his

shoulder.

And when a man sees his flaming star, he knows his time,

his time has come.

Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star.

Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star.

There's a lot of living I gotta do.

Give me time to make a few dreams come true.

Flaming star.

Flaming star.

When I ride, I feel that flaming star.

That flaming star over my shoulder.

And so I ride in front of that flaming star, never looking around.

Flaming star, don't shine. Flaming star.

Flaming star, keep on.

Flaming star.

There's a lot of living I gotta do.

Give me time to make a few dreams come true.

Flaming star.

Flaming star.

One fine day, I'll see that flaming star, that flaming star over

my shoulder.

And when I see that old flaming star, I'll know my time,

my time has come.

Flaming star, don't shine, oh, flaming star.

Flaming star, keep on, oh, flaming star.

There's a lot of living I gotta do Give me time to make a few dreams come

true

I can't see my birthday was last week.

We all had to come out.

Hurry, I'm washed up.

Hey,

you boys should have put in a full day's work with them cows. We thought you

were never coming. I'll take care of the horses.

Hey,

Will,

play us some music. Come on, Will. How about this?

edition.

May I?

Cowboy, cowboy, marry me. I'll make you a cherry pie.

Well, thank you very much.

be your darling Jenny.

Now, why should I drink from just one well when I can drink from twenty?

I love, of course, he goes, be single and save a dollar.

Come Saturday night, I'll court a pretty gal in a cane and I'll start a car.

A cowboy, cowboy named the day. July'd be nice, I reckon.

I'd gladly meet you at the church July the 32nd.

And eat your favorite chow.

And why should I get married now? That's what I'm doing now.

Supper was just great, Miss Burton. Of course, like Will and me always say,

it comes to cooking, no one ever guesses indifferent from Will or Ma or anybody

else.

I'm really proud you liked it, Tom.

Just a little more cake?

No, ma 'am.

You hang it on the wall and you put hot water in here.

It's mostly for a man to shave by, but you can comb your hair in it or

It sure is fine.

I think Ross is trying to civilize old Clint against the day that he proposes.

He never gets around to it. Seeing as how you wear the britches, Ross, maybe

ought to do the proposal.

Maybe Pacer and me can manage to look a little more presentable now when we come

to the crossing. I want to thank you, all of you.

For everything.

More coffee, anyone?

Oh, sure, we'd like some, but I think we'd best be going.

We could make room if anyone wants to stay. Oh, thank you. We'd love to get

home, too.

That mile could be a long haul. Ten miles?

Me and Roz could go all the way down the road.

Oh, well, I wish you, Roz, you'd make good time.

That is, if you could keep up with it. Oh, thank you. We'll ride along with

Thank you, Mr. Burton.

Thank you, Mr. Burton.

Good night.

wedding next month. Oh, you better see me before that.

Hey, we better get going, too. We won't be home before morning.

Thanks again.

Night, Clint.

Night.

What's that look for?

Oh, just thinking.

That fancy gadget to prep in, you'd be about the prettiest fella in Texas.

fooling around, Will.

Making all this noise.

I tell you, the old man's going to be...

Hot out there

Indian

came up on that hill just now

Oh, the pacer says there's no hunter.

Tie up the horse, sir.

What is it, sir?

Not sure yet.

All he did was look like he was trying to figure something out.

Nobody said anything about any trouble at the party the other night.

No, sir.

A lot of things can happen in three days.

Nettie, last time you went up to see your sister, did you hear anything?

No. He was just about like always.

Didn't you think so, Peter?

folks or mouths.

Shame on you, Clint.

More likely either one would bother us.

You might say that ain't been my experience about people in the middle.

Maybe it's the new chief.

What new chief?

Kyle's got a new chief now.

St. Quint?

Maybe a monk.

What about old Lame Crow?

He's the old man of the tribe now.

How long you known this?

Since it happened.

Don't you ever tell anybody anything.

Why's they don't ask me?

Sometimes I'll be doggone if I don't think you're more than half Indian. He

me. Maybe you're the other half. Maybe your mama was Indian, too.

Let me know.

Are you my brother beyond the wall?

Yes.

Then why light go out when friend come in peace?

Why does a friend who comes in peace wait until the sun is gone?

Why arrive when stars are alive?

Only against his enemies.

In the world of white men, there are men who are not enemies nor friends.

Not as when I come to talk.

Without giving your name?

I am known from one end of the earth to the other.

I have the strongest magic, and I lead many, many warriors.

I am Buffalo Horn.

Buffalo Horn!

We cannot be enemies to the Kiowas in this house without being enemies to

ourselves.

And Buffalo Horn should know that.

I must see your eyes when you tell me this.

Do you come out, or do I come in?

Neither. We will talk to our brother only in the sunlight.

Your answer is honest.

I will return again at a time when the sun has killed the stars.

That was him.

You did it, Chief?

Uh -huh.

Did he bite himself?

No, the others were over the hill.

What do you think?

Well, he was carrying a war spear. He was scaffolding.

He wouldn't do anything to us.

Maybe not.

I wouldn't be too sure.

You know what some of them still call you, Nettie?

One of them Indian traders said they got an Indian name for you. It means the

thin woman who deserted her own people.

Yeah. After more than 20 years.

I don't believe it.

Boys better go to the crossing tomorrow anyway and stock up on supplies and

ammunition.

That fine?

Fine.

Not so fine.

Don't be any time to dally with Roz. I want you back here by nightfall.

You heard what Pa said. No horsing around with Roz.

Now, just a minute. What do you mean, horsing around?

Well, ain't that what you're doing with it?

No, it ain't.

You mean you mean it?

And what if I do?

Well, the gal that wears britches... What's wrong with the gal that wears

britches?

Well, ain't nothing wrong, but, uh... Well, second thought, you might look

pretty good with skirts on.

I've been thinking about you, Clint.

What's the matter with you, Angus? Well, I decided that you're my friend no

matter what.

But if that half -great -brother of yours sets foot in this store, I'm going

kill him.

You're not going to kill anybody.

Kill?

Don't make me shoot you, Angus.

Put it down, Angus. He needs it.

You better get out of here. Both of you.

You both crazy?

No, we're not crazy.

Maybe Jeff's smarter than the four of us. What are you talking about?

But Kyle was hit the Howard place the night of the party.

And of the whole family, you know how much the men found in the ashes?

One hand.

One of Dorothy's. Stop it!

Now he's out making a coffin for her.

Just to bury her hand in.

Oh, my God.

They didn't hit your place, though, did they?

No. And you're right out the same way.

Roz, I don't know what you're talking about. Roz, I'm with some men now

Buffalo Hornet. For all we know, they'll get killed, too.

But you don't have to worry about it, I suppose.

You'll always be safe from them.

Everything all right?

Nothing's all right.

What happened?

Buffalo, go and get the Howard place.

Kill them all.

and for the fever that had been dead four years ago, Ma.

This is the kind of time when I wondered if we did the right thing. We did

exactly the right thing.

I wish you wouldn't say such things.

What does everybody want, anyway?

There must be a million miles around here, room enough for them and us and a

million more.

It was their land, Sam.

And they don't like anybody else taking any part of it.

Well, that ain't their land anymore.

We've been working this place for over 20 years and nobody can tell me it ain't

ours.

Did those piercers say something about us?

Nothing much.

Whatever they said, it's my fault.

For being what I am.

Nettie, now do listen to me.

I'm speaking for the boys and me.

We don't want to hear such things said ever again.

Whatever happens, it'll be with us as it's always been. This family will stick

together and we'll not be swayed.

If we have to live alone on the face of the earth, if we have to become a power

unto ourselves, we'll resist whoever and whatever comes against us.

Greg Pierce.

What do you want, Red?

The guy who was hit the Howard place Monday night.

Wiped him out.

Yeah, we heard about it.

It's a terrible thing.

How'd you hear about it?

Me and Pacer was at the store this morning.

Oh, you sure there's any instance I'll buy and tell you about it?

Man, I don't want to hear another word like that.

Looks like there's going to be a lot of trouble.

Young engines coming in here from everywhere.

More than a hundred already, I've been told.

We've been tracking the...

Ones that hit the Howard place since yesterday morning.

But we lost them. Get to the point, Dredd.

The point is, if it comes to a real showdown, are you with us or not?

Well, that's the most foolish question I ever heard. Not with your family, it

ain't. Watch yourself, Matt.

You're liable to open your mouth once too often.

You gonna answer the question?

A question like that don't need an answer.

What did I tell you? I think it does.

Yeah. And you know what I think?

I think we got all the answers already.

With all the Reds and half -Reds of this family. All right.

First man ties for his gun, we'll get a buffalo slugging him.

Come back here, son.

Red, you trying to make out that the death of old friends like the Howards

mean anything to us?

Sam, that ain't the question.

And what is it?

Well, it's a question of loyalty, you might say.

Go on.

You know what I mean, Sam.

Your wife is Kiowa, full blood.

Pacer there is half -inch, and Clint's the only real white man in the family.

Well, this looks like it's going to be a real bad war.

Everybody in this whole part of Texas is going to be in it sooner or later.

Now, are you going to give Clint the chance to consider the situation?

Decide for himself just what he ought to do about it. I don't need to do any

considering. I told you I wouldn't get any straight answers from him.

Now, you listen here, Matt.

Buffalo Horn's our enemy because of what he done to the Howards.

He broke the laws of God and man.

You all know that me and my family will always be ready to fight our enemies.

Now, is that straight enough for you? And I'm supposing that you mean us, too.

That's up to you, Ben.

We're just as ready to be friends with anyone who's friendly with us.

This visit tonight ain't been friendly.

Yeah. Well, who wants to be friendly with a male in a Kiowa squad?

Thank you.

Somebody else!

Good luck it wasn't me if he did.

Bring him in here.

Maybe I can do something for him.

I wouldn't let a dirty Indian touch me. I think we got about all the answer we

need from these folks.

Then get going.

All of you.

What's the matter? Did you shoot too quick?

I pulled off. I couldn't just kill him. Just like that.

Excuse me.

Wait. No use now. There's a couple of them in there.

Stop it.

Hey, sir.

I don't know what to do.

How come you don't want to go after them?

Because we'd be too few out there.

Arms done, anyway.

Come on in.

These are what we call our white friends, I suppose, hmm?

May take more than one day.

So don't get worried if we don't get back tonight.

Stay close to the house, keep everything locked.

What about them fellas from the crossing, if they come back?

You just think about Ma.

Take care of her, regardless of who come.

Thank you, sir.

Watch up yonder.

What was it?

Just for a second, it looked like a man on foot way off up there.

Didn't you see anything?

No.

If it's somebody, he might need help.

Maybe you should go see.

I don't see anything, Ma.

Ma said stay near the house.

Joining up with his crowd?

I haven't paid it any mind.

Well, maybe you'd better think about it.

I didn't aim to, but I brought you boys to a bad situation.

Didn't matter when you were younger.

Now that you're men, you're going to think about it more and more.

So, if you want to ride with Dredd and them, I'll try to understand.

And you'll go with my blessing.

You already said it, Paul. There's nothing but one side for us.

You and Ma and Pace are in me.

They shot him.

I should have killed Matt Holcomb.

We should have cut them all down.

They're worse than Indians.

An Indian will rob you blind if he can, but this is pure waste and meanness.

It's done.

Let's find the rest of the herd.

Pacer, go up and get a little sleep at least.

I'll be right, Ma. Keep going back to bed.

Good night, Pacer.

Ma?

What is it?

I don't know yet.

We're trappers.

We got chased down out of the hills.

Too much trouble brewing up there for safety's sake.

We're getting out of this country, and we're half -starved.

Let them in.

I ain't sure, Ma.

We can't turn them away hungry.

Hey,

you Indian?

Yeah.

You two work here?

This is our home.

How do you like that?

Ancient. Living in a house like this.

Well, how about getting us a supper, Red Boy?

I'm fixing something.

That's your mom?

Uh -huh.

What are you making in that pot, honey?

Meat stew.

I'll have to warm it up a little.

Give me another knob, will you, Pacer?

You'll sit down at the table.

Can you hear your ma, red boy?

What's the matter?

Nothing. Then hurry up and get it.

Where's the heat big chief?

Your husband.

Or whoever he is.

He'll be back soon.

But he's not a chief, he's white.

Oh, that's it, huh?

You like him white?

I like my husband.

That ain't all, is it?

I mean, just one man for a good -looking squaw like you?

Chief.

Come on.

I know you've read babies.

Please, mister.

What are you afraid of?

Joe will watch the door.

Yes, let me go.

All right, I'll tell you what.

You just give me one little kiss and see if you don't want a few more.

Paul and Claire are back. They'll be in in a minute.

These men can't wait.

They're leaving now.

Pacer.

Pacer.

Pacer.

It had been for that kid. All right. Get off your work.

You know what I said?

Uh -huh.

Drop your gun belts.

Red Boy.

You're wasting your time.

Because we ain't got anything.

Oh, I ain't gonna rob you.

Might kill you, but I ain't gonna rob you.

Now look here, Sonny. We don't have trouble with Indians already.

All he asked for was a little kiss.

Telling you now, boy.

That's a little better, Red Boy.

Me. Me.

I just want to make sure they went away.

Not at all.

Yeah,

you do.

Well, except in the dark.

You landed awful hard on your knuckles.

Inside, Mo!

Inside, come on!

Two moons, Willem.

Are you okay, sir?

Yes.

It is a new time.

The sun has killed the stars.

Come out and talk.

I will talk with you, but I will not come out among your warriors.

You know I am your friend, Pacer.

Nothing will happen to you if you come out.

Nothing will happen to me if I stay behind my walls either, too.

Now you come out.

This is the way for men to talk.

There I've seen if words are true or false.

You talk. I will listen.

I need many, many more warriors.

The white man is thick from the rising sun to the setting sun.

We have no place to go.

We have to fight or we die.

You understand?

This is the great war our gods have spoken to us in our dreams.

Soon, we will have the power to take whole white villages.

You say you are not our enemy.

Then you must be friend.

Will you ride with us?

You have many warriors.

One more warrior is not important.

You are of the greatest importance to me.

For if I have white...

He leaves his father's people to fight for his mother's people.

It will make the strongest magic that I can have.

And if I say no?

Not being my friend, you will be my enemy.

And this house and all in it will die.

For I will not have a half -cayo against me.

Come in here a minute, Meester.

I must talk to my mother.

are going to go back with him.

Back where?

To the camp.

I'm going to talk this whole thing over with Lame Crow. You mean about me?

About the whole thing. All this warring and everything.

Lame Crow is my father's brother. Maybe he can do something to stop it. You're

crazy, Ma. They wouldn't give two hoots about what you said.

I've got to try it anyway.

I just can't see all these people being killed without at least trying to stop

it.

Write something to Pa where we're going.

You ought to wait and talk to Pa.

No, he would lock me up or something.

Jeff will be back by midnight.

I can't let you do it, Ma. It's too dangerous.

But they wouldn't hurt us, please.

They're our own people.

No, Ma.

They ain't my people.

To tell the truth, I don't know who's my people. Maybe I ain't got any.

But I couldn't ride with those fellas burning and killing and all that.

I know you couldn't face it. That's what he's asking me to do, Ma, and I've got

to answer him.

But you can say no, can't you?

I can say no here in this house.

What if he asks me there, right in the middle of them?

Well, he wouldn't do that.

You'd be his guest.

Ma, we don't know this man.

You haven't seen his eyes when he talks about this war.

He'll ask me, all right, guest or no guest.

And if I don't answer him the way he wants me to... Then I don't think you

to go either.

Don't go alone.

Too important for us to decide.

My mother thinks we should talk to her family about it.

You will come to the peace and safety of our camp.

Yes.

Your mother is wise.

We will ride with you.

What do you think about this war?

Buffalo Horn say it got to be.

He say if we wait any longer, it will be too late.

It must be harder for you, half white, half Indian.

It is not easy.

White man treat you well?

My father and brother do.

Anything starts to take my horse right out there

Welcome, Nejipa.

I come to you with love and with gifts.

Show me.

Take her to Lane Crow.

She want talk to him.

Come.

Sit.

Pacer, his brother.

We make him welcome.

Speak, anyone.

Kiowa Pacer is true earth, round like ball.

White men live all side.

That is true.

Tell me, why men on bottom not fall off?

Never been there.

Maybe they do.

Dear Pa and Clint, Ma took a notion to go see her sister.

I told her not, but you know Ma. I think we will be back by midnight.

I tried to make her not go, but you know Ma.

Respectfully, yours, Pacer.

Now, why do you reckon she wanted to do that?

I'll go saddle the horse and we'll go after them. Wait a minute.

Ten o 'clock.

Maybe we'd better give them the two hours rather than take a chance on

them in the dark.

I think back by midnight we'll go after them with the scatterguns.

If they do anything to your long pacer, scatterguns can make an awful mess

before they get us.

moon back, I see white man book.

And it was great mountain lion with stripes painted on, sir.

Speak me this, Kiowa patient.

Why white man paint stripes on mountain lion?

That was a great strong animal called a tiger.

White man did not paint the stripes on it.

Could be then this great tiger paint on own stripes, which make tiger brother

to my Kiowa warriors.

You did not speak about the thing I came to talk about.

Yes.

My spirit reached out and touched you.

And I knew it was not good to speak of it now.

It will be hard for you to come back to us.

You are not yet ready.

If I ask you now to say yes or no, you might say no, or you might lie to me and

say yes, but I would know that you lie, and I would have to kill you.

We are close in spirit now.

I want you to come back to your people.

You think about it?

I will.

Think of this, too.

Whose land is this?

Who has lived here since the beginning of time?

Do we go out to take their land?

No, they come against us.

Forever cutting deeper and deeper into our land.

Forever taking.

Forever putting.

We will speak of it again.

Soon.

I hope your blood will be one with ours.

Two moons.

Take me to Lamecrow.

I will ride part of the way back with you.

Really, Ma?

I go in good will.

They wouldn't even listen to me.

Nothing.

They said I wasn't high over anymore.

No white teeth.

My own sister said I was... Nothing.

You've done the best you could.

I can feel close to me the flaming star of death.

Stop talking like that, Ma.

I don't think it's too bad.

You'll be all right.

Who is it?

It's me and Clint, Pacer.

Ma's hurt.

Will Howard has done it.

Will Howard?

Someone's trying to stop her.

Honey?

Nanny, honey?

Let's put her in the back.

We're all here, Marty. We'll be all right.

We're going home, honey.

Will just jumped up and started shooting.

He must have been stumbling and crawling around ever since the raid.

You think he knew what he was doing?

All I think he know is that we were three Indians. That's all he wanted to

He must have been out of his head with all that pain.

After what happened to his family.

Especially the girls.

You making excuses for him?

No, if you didn't kill me, me and Paul would have.

And we got together, doctor.

I'll go get Doc Phillips.

What if he don't want to come?

He won't have a choice.

The folks at the crossing are pretty mad. I better go with Clemson. I may not

have any trouble, but get him.

We'll get him.

Don't need to fear about what you did to our cattle. Don't come no closer,

Clint.

We don't want to see either one of you boys here ever again.

We want Doc Phillips. We need him. You don't need him any more than we're

to. Any hour of the day or night now, and you know what I'm talking about,

We got to have him right away.

What's wrong, Clint?

Ma's hurt.

You go on back inside, honey. What happened to her?

Will Howard shot her.

Now what are you talking about? Will Howard's dead.

He's dead now, but he shot Ma first.

Well, now, if he's just dead, who killed him? Me.

Hold it! Everybody, hold it! Just keep him covered.

If shooting starts, I'll live long enough to kill you.

Looky here, Clint.

Will Howard's been dead for nearly a week.

And everybody here knows it.

Will wasn't far from dead.

But he was live enough to shoot Ma, and she's real bad off.

Pa, we gotta help her.

He's just plain lying, honey.

The both of them.

Hey, Doc.

Doc Phillips.

All right, come on out, Doc.

Ain't nobody going to do anything to you.

Ma needs you, Doc.

You know I want to help her, Clint, but... Well, it's a free country, Doc.

If you're troubled making up your mind, though, maybe we can help you.

Let's put him to a vote, everybody. I vote no.

And I go along with Dredd.

I say don't go.

I say no.

I vote, Doc, don't go.

I speak the same.

I say no, too.

But I can give you some advice.

Get a medicine man first.

Call me, I'll get him.

Two dead men aren't worth anything.

You see how it is?

When?

When?

I can do it.

As soon as you make it, I'll come inside.

have a tea pot.

How many lumps of sugar would you like? Two? Okay.

Do I say you mind you don't get dirty?

I won't. It's cleaner.

Would you like a drink?

Oh, okay. I want something.

This is for you, baby.

My baby's been kind of sick. I think she's got a temperature.

She's probably cutting it too.

One thing, I don't know what I'm going to do with him.

I'll probably have to put him... Just me, Dottie. I want to play a little game

with you, okay?

Sure, Pacer. Did you have to scare me?

We're going to get your paw in on it.

Oh, you don't play too good. Hey, Doc!

Doc Phillips!

Put her down!

Leave her alone!

Get your horse and bag and make it fast.

Don't hurt her.

Go on, do like he says.

I'll get you, you godless savage.

Tell her you're up, Pierce.

You heard Dread, Indian.

Any harm comes to that girl and you're dead in a minute. Just keep talking,

You'll be dead now.

Grown -ups never know how to play, do they?

Well, this is funny playing, Pacer.

I don't like it much.

You know what I'm talking about.

Doctor, come with us.

This'll be pure hell to pay.

I'm sorry the way it happened, Smith.

I wouldn't come with you from the very first, huh?

They following us?

Just one.

Come on, this way.

I'll help you with it, Clint.

Please hurry back.

You know what to do, all right.

She's helped me before.

his wife's name Eve because she was the mother of all living.

To me, Nettie, you were the mother of all living.

Why don't you two go ahead and eat before everything gets cold?

I'm going to wait and follow.

He wouldn't want you to wait, son.

You know who got him, doctor?

You.

Well, that's not going to do any good, Pacer. Wasting all that time. You and

them other people at the coffee.

Well, I couldn't have done anything anyway, Pacer.

Well, I saw that woman. You don't want to do anything?

None. Well, that's not true, Pacer. And you neither, for all I know.

What's up, Seth?

Saw him.

Arguing and stalling all the time while he's dying.

Keeping up there more than an hour.

It was just five minutes before we got here and she died.

If we'd have gotten here just a little bit sooner, she may be alive now.

You know what's good, Paul?

Get out of the way.

She was worth a thousand if they let her die.

I couldn't save her if we got here ten minutes after she was hurt.

The woman was bleeding internally. The woman?

Hasn't she got a name like white people?

Hey, sir, please.

Well, I meant Mrs. Burton.

Don't you see?

All she was to all of them was a squaw. Well, this is not going to bring Ma

back. A white man shot her, and white men let her die.

Crazy. He ought to have let me kill him.

No good could be done. It wouldn't help.

The people that held us up at the crossing.

I'm going to save one of them, Dick.

Now you're talking foolish.

Can you talk like that? You sound like a coward.

Well, that wasn't what I was going to say. But that's what I am.

That's what Ma was, and that's why she's dead.

That's what I'm going to be from now on.

You know I didn't mean it that way.

You don't feel it like I do about Ma's death.

I'm Indian.

And I'll never forget that the whites killed her because she was Indian, too.

Will was dying. He was crazy.

I don't know what excuse it's for.

All Ma and me have got them whites with mean looks that don't get uppish with

us. Oh, that's not true.

You were the worst.

You made me feel it the worst.

When I was little, I liked you a lot.

You were the only girl I ever liked a whole lot.

But ever since you went old enough to know, you never looked at me once

seeing somewhere in the back of your head.

East Kiowa.

Clint's all right, but watch out for Pacer.

I didn't know.

I didn't know it either.

Nobody knew it more than me.

The joint of a buffalo horn.

Good God, Facey, you're a civilized human being.

Folks at the crossing are civilized, not me.

I can't let you go out that door.

Now, look.

We already had one fight.

The first one we ever had in our lives.

I won't lose this one.

Facey. This ain't a thing to fight about with fists.

I'm changing my whole life.

Put that gun down.

All right.

If you can draw that gun and cock it.

Goodbye. Back to Mars, folks.

I'm sorry.

So am I, but I understand.

Never come to my mind that it'd be like this when I married Nettie.

But I guess folks ain't never been fair with you, Pacer.

They take a man for what they think he ought to be, not for what he is.

I ain't blaming you, Paul.

I know.

You're a good boy.

I've always been proud of you.

You do what you have to do with my blessing no matter where you go Whatever

happened

Funny how things turn out.

When I got here, all I had was you and me.

We were just a baby.

Then I gave Nettie's father a Merwin and Albert shotgun and a pound of black

powder for her.

What a pretty little thing she was, too.

The day we got married, there wasn't a prettier girl in Texas.

I just can't tell you how much I came to love her.

Now, after all these years, another little baby, and all the work we've done

make a home, get us a herd.

We're right back where we started.

Just you and me again.

I will fight in his place.

Who did this?

A white man.

He also killed Netipar, the woman who is my mother.

My words are dust, but my heart is with you.

One thing you must know.

I will never fight my father nor my brother.

Your father, your brother, and your home will be safe from attack as our own

people.

When we go into battle, I will think of my mother and of how two moons tried to

help her.

And I will be strong.

Very strong.

Yeah, Pop.

You do that, Roz.

We'll do the best we can anyway, won't we?

We'll sure try.

That bay of yours is still left, but I'm giving you the sorrow. We'll get your

horse back to you later.

Bye, Pop.

Bye -bye.

We're too far from the house. Let the herd take care of itself.

I'll be all right.

say anything about what Pacer had in mind.

He'll be back.

I don't know. He's been pushed a long way.

I wonder if he'll be back.

I said I would, didn't I?

Yeah, but it's just plain hate now and everybody ready to kill anybody who

just like him.

I'll be back, all right.

Get down off that horse and get in the house.

Don't talk to me like that. I'm no little girl. I'm a grown woman.

You want me to pull you down?

I don't.

Do you know Neddy died?

I know a lot of things.

I know that his brother went after Doc with a knife.

And what's more, I know that the Thomases died last night.

All four of them. Nothing left but ashes.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, I'll bet.

You know as well as I do, Phil, Thomas was my best friend.

Then why didn't you warn him?

Goodbye, Ross.

Wait, Ron!

You got room for us?

We'll make room for you.

That's the fifth wagon in the floor.

They're all scared to death out there now, but I guess you've got nothing to

worry about.

Let us kill him.

Maybe it would be best if we ride on, try to find Buffalo Horn's camp before

do any fighting.

The gods are making us a gift to this enemy.

I thought you were so tough.

You like to try to talk me to death.

You little savage.

Can you hear me?

Uh -huh.

I'll be out of here.

You go.

I'm too tired.

Still got about an hour before daylight.

I'm going to try to draw them over the other way.

They'd recognize it.

Maybe.

Maybe not in the dark. I look Indian enough.

Yeah, it's too dark.

If we're done out of here by sunup, it'd be a lot shorter.

Thank you.

Never going to get a better time than this.

Think you can hold on again?

I can make it.

Coming. Yeah, but they're in no hurry about it anymore.

Why?

You know who we are now and where to find us.

Hey, Paul!

We've got to left now.

Hey, sir.

Hey, sir.

Come on.

What's the idea?

You're gonna take a ride.

What are you talking about?

We're going no place but in the house.

We got to get ready.

What do you think you're doing?

Rod's horse will take you to the crossing.

You coming with me?

Nope.

That's crazy. There are too many of them.

I know it.

It's gotta be like this the rest of my life to hell with it.

Let me meet him with you.

That's the way I feel.

You'll be doing good to make it to the cross.

How long have I been here?

Since last night.

Get me a horse.

Doc Phillips says you shouldn't move.

You think I'm going to stay here?

But you're still too bad off, Clint. You can't ride in your condition. You going

to get me that horse or not?

Well, you feeling that much better? Never mind. I'll get it myself.

Looky here, Clint.

You want to get shot?

Lighter coming in.

Looks like he's bad hurt.

I'll come look for him.

I just want to make sure you're all right.

Don't try to help me, Clarence.

I've been killed already.

You told me about dying.

Now, let me get the doctor. I'll wait.

I'll wait.

The only thing to do now is to die.

Please, for God's sake.

You live for me, Clarence.

Maybe someday, somewhere people will understand folks like us.

Oh, you'll be all right.

When I was fighting off the other cowards, I saw the flaming star of

death.

I got to last long enough to go into the hills and die.

I told you not to follow me.

It's me, sir.

It's me, sir!
