Hey, where are you going?

I'm getting a drink.

Can I help you, sir? You look a little
lost.

I am looking for a missionary named
Frances Barnes.

I thought she was supposed to meet me
here.

Sister Barnes.

She's always at the church. She's a
talker, that one.

You know, she might be getting held up
with some last -minute things.

Oh.

Well, I guess... You're that new
preacher she's been talking about.

Yeah. Brent Carson is the name.

Carter Gossett.

Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Thank you, sir.

Great Springs is a great town.

Welcome. Thank you so much.

Why are you always looking at that
school teacher?

You're the wealthiest man in town.

Every man in Red Springs wished he had
the land that you got.

Any woman would be glad to have you.

Well, I like him.

Are you looking for something special,
Miss Elizabeth?

I was just looking to see if you have
any new Oscar Wilde or Henry James.

I think you've already read all of our
Oscar Wilde, but I do believe we have

some new Henry James at the back.
Really, Mr. Jones? Could you pull them

I'd love to see them.

Right back.

Hope you enjoy it. Thank you.

You know, you ain't got a way here.
Church ain't that far.

You can walk there from here.

Oh, I can.

I thank you kindly, sir, for your help.

No bother?

Glad I could help.

Yes, ma 'am. May I help you?

Oh, I'm sorry. That might have seemed a
little bit hot to yell at you like that.

I'm Frances Barnes.

Oh, Sister Frances.

I was waiting for you at the station.

I was... I was running a little bit
late. I'm so sorry. I was on my way to

you. Well, the baggage handler said that
the church wasn't too far, so I decided

to walk, and I was on my way there.

Oh, oh yes, it's right this way.

Rachel, you coming?

Looks like the town's going to have a
new preacher.

Yes.

I hope he knows we don't cotton the
strangers coming here trying to change

things.

Well, I would like to think that we
welcome positive change.

Miss Elizabeth, you know I respect your
opinion.

But we can't just have anybody coming
here trying to destroy our way of life.

Our way of life?

You mean you and those cattlemen?

Who are...

so limited to think that nothing around
here should ever change.

Not open to new ideas or new ways of
thinking. The world is changing, Mr.

and people are changing with it.

Mr. Elizabeth!

Mr. Elizabeth!

Can you come over for a minute?

Yes, Mr. Francis. I'm coming straight
away.

Mr. Elizabeth, I would like you to meet
our new preacher, Preacher Brent Carson.

So glad to meet you, sir.

The pleasure is all mine, I am sure.

I wrote to the church in Boston to
inquire as to whether they had someone

available for our town.

And what do you know?

I got a letter from Preacher Brent that
he'd be glad to come and share the good

word with the folks of Red Spring.

Coming from Boston, I'm sure you find
our town somewhat passe.

I think you have a vibrant, bustling
town here, full of life and vigor.

Well, I have some things to do, and I'm
sure the preacher needs to settle in.

Sister Elizabeth, would you like me to
walk you back to the schoolhouse?

Well... You know, I would like to walk
around and see some of the town before I

settle in. I could walk her back, if
that is okay.

Well, there isn't much to see, but we do
have a lot of good books to read at the

general store.

Well, I'm sure I don't now.

But if Sister Elizabeth isn't busy, I
mean, I know she has to get back to the

school.

Oh, I wouldn't want to make you late for
your school.

I don't think so. I have a little bit of
time before school begins.

If we walk briskly, I'm sure we'll see a
lot of the town along the way.

We go right by the school anyway.

Well, I do have some things to do, so,
Sister Elizabeth, pretty carson,

I'll be getting to you.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in
the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth

in the way of the sinners, nor sitteth
in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the
Lord, and in his law doth he meditate

and night.

Let's hear what Mark tells us of John
the Baptist.

The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the

his paths straight.

What's the matter with you?

Didn't you hear me ask you a question?

Is everything okay here?

This ain't got nothing to do with you,
preacher.

This is between me and him.

What's your name, boy?

Bill.

Bill, sir.

Bill Barnaby.

This here is one of our new settlers.

What?

Oh, my goodness.

What should we do?

Pray for God to help us.

That's all we can do.

But the preacher, he might get hurt.

Preacher Brent, he knows what he's
doing.

Before a darky? Sister Frances!

How dare you?

We are all God's children.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

Is that true, boy?

You coming to settle here?

Out there?

With the preacher and all his folk?

Yes, sir.

Me and my family, we've been traveling.

Looking for this here preacher.

Preacher Brent welcomes them.

We should all accept them, too.

I don't know if I like that, Preacher.

Bringing all kind of people out here.

This time he done gone too far.

Mr. McRae, what is the meaning of this?

What are you and your men coming up
against this man and his family for?

Mr. Elizabeth?

Everything is under control.

Isn't it, Mr. McRae? Yes.

Yes. It's all under control.

What are you men standing around here
for?

Go home to your families.

Go on.

I think I'll be heading home soon.

I think we can fit you ladies on board.
Let me help you. Thank you.

I don't think I can do that, Preacher.

Got a lot of folks like us around here?

Don't you worry.

Preacher Brent helps a lot of people
settle in in Homestead here in Red

About that.

We was just passing through.

I do some doctoring for my people here
and there.

You a doctor?

I didn't say I was a doctor who was cool
to learn it. I said I'd help with herbs

and birth and babies and all.

Birth and babies. We got a family here
expecting soon.

A doctor in town is too expensive.

It would mean a lot if you could help
out when their time comes.

Preacher, I really think you need to
talk to the family first.

Preacher, I mean... They don't have
money to pay right now.

And Bill is going to help us out.

It is Bill, right?

Yes, sir.

I didn't say I did it for free.

Richard, I was wondering if I could have
a word with you.

Yes, you can.

What's on your mind?

Well, you've been here in Red Springs
for a little while now.

Yes, I have, and I feel it's getting to
be a very fine place.

We thought it was a fine place before
you come.

I see.

Have I done something to offend you, Mr.
McRae?

I'm sensing some tension between us.

I don't mind you having a church in our
town.

I think the people here need to hear a
good word now and again.

But you keep helping those people move
up onto my land, and that don't sit well

with me.

I know where the marker is on your land,
and no one has moved onto any part of

your land.

I have only been helping people move on
the land that is across and down from

you.

You don't seem to understand.

I started this town.

I am the reason that it's bustling and
doing well.

It wasn't until the likes of you come
that all these settlers came in and

outlanders moved in on the territory.

Why do you call them outlanders?

They're only looking for a place to
settle and raise their family.

None of them fought and pounded this
earth to make it suitable to live on.

My family did that.

We've been raising cattle here for so
many years.

I have lost count.

Now you got all these foreigners and all
kinds of folks coming in and farming

the land.

There's sheep.

All kinds of things taken away from the
water and the grazing land from my

cattle.

Mr. McRae, everyone knows you started
Red Springs.

But it's doing fine on its own.

With respect to you and your family.

No one is trying to do anything to harm
your land.

But, sir, you don't own all the land
here.

And if you don't mind, I prefer not
discussing things anymore with you.

You come here with your good looks and
your fancy words.

Turning people all around.

Changing their way of thinking.

Well, you better watch your step.

Good day to you, sir.

And may the good Lord calm your heart to
be a more civil individual.

I really enjoyed the sermon on Sunday.

I really think that everything is...
changing and going here because of you

i talked to sister francis the other day
and said all the families are just

happy and excited to come here to red
spring teacher

is everything okay i have been praying
so hard

sister elizabeth i just

Don't understand why Mr. McRae is so
against the new settlers building down

his land. That is good land, and no one
owns it.

Mr. McRae, he thinks he owns everything
and everyone in Red Springs.

His family is the reason that the town's
doing so well, but, well, he just

thinks because they started everything
that no one else can do anything in this

town. I just want to help him understand
that what we're doing is building a

great place here. We have lots of
wonderful people moving into our town.

We just want to build and bring in good
families to settle in and raise their

children.

You will never get through to him.

He is pig -headed, prideful.

We are all God's people, Sister Liz.

I just think we need to pray more for
him and ask the Lord for guidance.

I'm sorry.

I've known Sammy my whole life, and it's
all been like that.

You're right.

I should pray for them.

I am so sorry. I should be enjoying this
good food you've made.

I don't even know why you spend so much
time with me.

I'm so obsessed with helping everyone.

I sincerely love God's people.

Well, that's what I like about you.

I've never met a man who could...

Hold his temper like you.

I mean, who sincerely stands by what he
believes.

I truly admire your kind and generous
heart.

I don't know about a kind and generous
heart.

It took everything to walk away from
McRae today.

Felt like knocking him flat on his back.

That is not in God's word.

Well, the good book says that we should
turn the other cheek, but...

Doesn't say it'll always be easy to do
so.

You're a whole man, too, Brent Carson.

I am a man.

And as a man, I think it's about time we
started talking about...

I wonder who

they are.

Hi, you folks look like you could use
some help.

Yes, we're looking for Red Springs.

Hi, I'm Francisco Gomez, and this is my
wife, Angelica. I'm so sorry, where are

my manners?

Yes, I'm Angelica, and these are my
little ones, Rosita and Ines. Well,

they the sweetest little ones?

Well, this is Red Springs.

What brings you folks to our town?

Well, we're looking for a nice piece of
land where we could settle down and see

my little ones grow.

We don't have much, but we're willing to
grow some crops and sell some and leave

for the rest.

You all must be so tired.

You've been traveling for days.

Let's see what we can do to help you.

Maybe we can move them near Barnaby and
his family.

Yes, that's a great idea.

Barnaby is a wonderful man.

He's our local healer.

He's worth all the children of the
settlers.

And anything you have ailing you, you've
got an herb for it.

Your God said, I can't believe we're
finally going to find a place home for

good. You have to excuse my wife,
Angelica. We've been carrying things

for the longest.

We felt some hard time, but we can see
to get things started.

Well, you know, God always has a way for
his people.

Now, don't you fret.

We're going to do our best to find you a
place to settle in.

Right, Sister Elizabeth?

Yes, we are.

I have some folks here I want you to
meet.

Hey, preacher.

How you folks doing?

Welcome.

Miss Elizabeth.

Bill, Alice.

We just met these nice folks out in the
open range, traveling toward Red Spring.

Yes, we just broke bread with them and
have been talking with them for a couple

of hours.

Feels like we've known them a muddy long
time, too.

It sure is nice to meet people like you.

This preacher and Sister Elizabeth say
that you would not mind us moving next

you.

Oh, they did, did they?

No, no, it won't be a problem at all.

Miss Elizabeth, why don't you and Alice
take these fine folk over there and show

them the land, and I'm just going to
chat a spell with the preacher here.

That's a wonderful idea.

Let's get you folks things, and we'll
start taking you straight down this

Preacher, now you listen to me.

I know you love helping folk and all.

But this land is too close to McCray
land.

You remember what happened to us when
you moved us over here?

He was none too happy about it. Bill,
you know this is free land. Anybody who

wants to lay claim can.

Look, I know you believe everyone has
some good in them. But the McCrays own

this territory.

Sooner or later, something's going to
happen.

See, you keep throwing dynamite on a lit
fire.

God intended for me to help people.

And these people came around when Sister
Elizabeth and I were having an outing.

They just happened by.

They were trying to find Red Springs
anyhow.

Was I supposed to turn them away with
little children and everything?

They looked like they hadn't eaten
anything in a while.

I mean it.

You got to start turning some of these
folks away.

Because soon, we're going to be too
close to McRae land.

And I think this just might be that
time.

These people respect you, the town
people and all.

I tell you what, if Mr. McRae wasn't so
afraid of Miss Elizabeth, hating him

altogether for harming you, he would
have moved against you long ago.

That man got plenty of power around his
park.

Don't you remember what happened to my
family and me when we came here?

I do, but things are different now.

Different?

What world are you living in?

Everything worked out just fine, didn't
it?

Just fine?

They were about to hang me, kill me, and
my whole family.

That's something I've heard about.

In my travels, I've seen men hang.

I've avoided it most of my life by
keeping on the move.

But that night, I realized God could use
a crazy white preacher and his woman to

save me.

I know I'm not like other white men, I
get that.

You don't say.

But Bill, I done told you a hundred
times, I don't believe in hating anybody

matter what color.

I respect that, but... Let me finish.

My family was dirt poor.

We were considered outcasts just because
we didn't have money, breeding, or

education to fit in Boston society.

You don't fit in without money and
breeding.

But you ain't a Negro.

You a white man.

Many a Negro being lynched by white
folks just for being alive.

I ain't never lived under a white man's
protection.

You're living under God's protection,
not mine.

You're right.

I do believe that.

Because if I didn't, I wouldn't have
stayed.

I would have got out of here as fast as
I could that night.

I'm glad you stayed.

Now come on.

You know I need your help with building
the shelter for these folks.

Oh, Francisco, this is so beautiful.

I think we have found our new home.

Yes, I think we have.

We have to thank God for his goodness.

You keep helping everybody else.

What happened to you asking Miss
Elizabeth for her hand?

I'm glad you brought that up.

I mean, I was asking her. Then all of a
sudden, they were there.

They were there, huh?

You keep waiting. Somebody else won't
steal away from you.

Miss Elizabeth is a fine woman.

She really cares for you.

I know.

Am I doing the right thing?

Asking her to live a life with a man
who's given his heart to the Lord's

service?

Well, the good book says it's good for a
man and a woman to marry.

I think the good Lord wants you to have
somebody to take care of you, too.

Preacher. The Goldman family would like
you to come over and say a prayer of

blessing for their new home.

What were you two talking about?

Did I interrupt something?

No, no. I need to get on with my work.

Preacher, I'll talk to you more later.

All right, Bill.

You're hiding something, but that's
fine.

Truth has a way of coming out, sooner or
later.

Come on, Preacher. The children will be
going to sleep soon.

Of the prodigal son.

I know.

Well, wouldn't it be cheating if we let
our own preacher answer the question?

Yes.

I know.

The story's about a young man who's
bored with his life. He's living with

father and wants to go out on his own.

Have fun and make his own life worth it.

Yeah, and the father gave his son his
shed in Hamilton.

He went on his way.

Yes, and he spent all his money on Rises
Living.

and found himself eating with pigs.

Wow, you all have been listening.

I'm so impressed.

I guess you had a good teacher.

Okay, so why don't we ask our preacher?

What was the outcome of the story?

Preacher? Oh, I can speak now?

I thought I was being replaced.

Well, the prodigal son came to his
senses, and he realized he could be

better at his father's table.

He decided to come home to his family.

But wasn't there a problem? I mean,
wasn't his brother upset about him

returning? Yeah, he couldn't believe
that after all his brother had done

that his father would just take him back
like that.

He felt like he should receive some
punishment or something.

Yes, but his father said his son, who
had stayed with him, had the chance to

know the life of the Lord and that they
should rejoice because his brother, who

had gone away and done wrong, was lost,
but now he was found. So they should

rejoice because God had saved his
brother who was lost in sin.

Well, Sister Elizabeth is right.

And they had a tremendous feast to
celebrate the return of the lost son and

the ring on his finger.

There is a message in this story and it
is that of forgiveness.

Well, let's... End our service here
today.

The preacher and Sister Elizabeth are
spending a lot of time together.

Don't you think it's about time he asked
for her hand?

I don't rightly know.

I mean, when the preacher's ready, he'll
ask her.

As a matter of fact, Bill told me he
needs to ask her soon.

Well, he'd better do something soon. All
that time together, folks are bound to

start talking.

Oh, my.

I didn't know he was interested in
Elizabeth.

I mean, she can't stand McCrae. Well,
he's been after her since before she

back to Eastern Teachers College. What
do you think he's going to do?

I think we should warn the preacher.

Preacher!

Preacher, a branch!

Preacher, we need to talk now.

I tried talking to you, Mr. McRae, and
we could not come to an agreement about

how this territory should be.

I'm not talking about those outlanders.
I want to know what your intentions are

for Miss Elizabeth.

I don't think that is any business of
yours.

You don't think it's any business of
mine?

I have known her since I was in grade
school.

coming to town and you turn her head
away from me.

I didn't know you ever courted her at
all.

Everyone knows how I feel about her.

Well, why does everyone know except
Elizabeth?

She knows.

She will know.

I will ask her.

If you are sincere about your feeling
for her, I will step aside.

But Mr. McRae, I love Elizabeth.

And if you don't make your feeling known
to her, I'm going to ask her for her

hand.

You have until sundown tomorrow to ask
her.

I will ask her.

You just keep your place.

I love you.

Will you marry me?

Morning, Miss Elizabeth.

Good morning, sister.

I was wondering, well, I was wondering
if... Well, if you might have

a moment or two to speak with me.

I don't know. I was just about to head
to the schoolhouse.

Please.

I just want to say I'm so sorry.

I mean, about your pa.

I mean, how hard I work him.

You know, my head, it's as hard as iron.

I could be about as stubborn as a mule.

I don't know what to say.

I never thought the day would come when
you would apologize for anything.

Mr. McRae, I forgive you.

I should not have held such a grudge
anyway.

That's not the Christian way.

I am sorry.

You did my heart well by telling me
this.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Well, I was wondering if...

Well... I'm so sorry. I really do have
to get going. The children are waiting.

But thank you.

You know, I realize now that maybe we
can be civil towards one another.

Maybe.

Even friends, after all.

Thank you for your time, Elizabeth.

God bless you.

This town has been good to me.

You all welcomed me and believed in me.

Now I have married the most beautiful,
charming, educated woman in Red Springs.

Do go on, Preacher.

Now, I know it took a while for me to
ask this lady for her hand, but you best

be sure...

I will never let you leave my side from
this day forth.

Let's get on down the road, Miss Carson.

Well,

I do declare, Mr. Carson, I never knew
you were so strong.

Well, ma 'am, I never had such a
delicate package to load into this wagon

before.

Congratulations, you two.

It's been a long time coming. Oh, Bill.

The preacher asked her.

You need to settle down and remember how
long it took you to ask me.

I don't think I ever heard the story of
how Bill proposed.

And you never will.

Go on, get up the road, would you? Put
your new bride.

You two are always playing around.

Alice, Bill, thank you so much.

Thank you.

My Lord, we better go before all the
ladies start to wailing. Oh, you.

I am so glad you're here. She's been
aching for a while.

I'm going to go write anything to her.

I never thought I'd see our preacher
unravel right before my eyes.

You're about to fall apart, Brent.

Come on. She's going to be all right.

Breastfeeding a baby is supposed to be
an exciting time.

I'm excited, Bill, but this is the first
time in my life I've felt so helpless.

She's aching so much.

Brent, come on. I done birthed just
about all the babies in this here

settlement.

You're going to have to trust me.

Elizabeth's going to be just fine.

I know what you say is true.

Lord, help me get myself together.

I just love that woman so much. Can't
stand to see her in any pain.

This fella's gonna talk all day or we
gonna birth this baby.

She is ready now. Come on, Bill.

I gotta go.

Now you just settle down.

God ain't gonna let no harm come to Miss
Elizabeth.

It's a boy.

A healthy baby boy.

Oh, he is such a beautiful little thing.
A boy.

Oh, my.

How is Elizabeth?

You can see her in the baby now.

Come on.

Now, take it easy.

She's still mighty tired.

Are you all right? I'm fine, Brent.

Don't you worry.

I'm just a bit worn out.

Oh, he's so little.

So beautiful.

He almost looks like a girl.

He looks like you, Elizabeth.

He is beautiful for a boy, isn't he?

But I think he looks just like his
daddy.

I guess he does that indeed.

What are you going to name the baby?

I think I'd like to call him Joshua.

Joshua?

That's a fine name, like Joshua in the
Bible.

Hush up and let the preacher decide what
he's going to name his baby.

Joshua's a fine name, a good strong name
for a boy.

Joshua was the one who led the children
of Israel to the promised land.

That's a fine name for my son.

I'm glad you like it.

I know now, since you're commencing to
quote in Scripture and all, that you

really feel good about his name.

Come on, woman.

Let's get on home. Let them spend some
time with the little one.

Joshua.

I think I like that name very well.

I know. You just want to get home and
eat.

After all that work, shouldn't I be
hungry? What work? Elizabeth did all the

work.

You just caught the baby.

from a list that we did the other day.

Okay, let's start with Mary.

Please spell cat and use it in a
sentence.

Cat. C -A -T.

The cat went up the road.

Very good, Mary.

Let's have Jimmy do the next one.

Horse. Horse. H -A -R -S -E.

I rides the horse on my land.

apologize to jimmy but he can never
spell anything right he don't belong

don't know nothing now jimmy came from
another town but they didn't have

schooling like you do so you should say
you're sorry or else you need to go

stand in the corner i'm sorry miss
elizabeth i didn't mean to say that

i know you didn't now how about let's
take a break and go outside and play for

little bit

Well, don't you want to go outside and
play with the other children?

No, ma 'am. I just need to work on my
words.

Okay.

Well, how about if I stay here and help
you then?

Miss Elizabeth, you are one of the
nicest people in town.

Thank you, Jimmy. I like you too.

Miss Elizabeth, if I tell you something,
will you keep it a secret?

Well, yes, but why do I have to keep it
a secret?

Because my ma just wants to bother
anybody with her problems, but she's

sick.

Oh.

Well, how about if I take you home after
school and I can check on your ma?

Yes, ma 'am. I think that'll be fine.

I wonder where Miss Elizabeth is going
with that Mitchell boy.

I don't know.

Supper time.

She should be heading home to the boys.

Can you hold up a minute?

Yeah, I'll just keep loading here.

Elizabeth!

Where are you going this time of day?

Oh, I was just helping Jimmy.

His mom's feeling a little under the
weather, so I just thought I'd go up

and see what I could do to help out.

Well, why don't Bill and I drive you
over, and maybe Bill can tend to her.

mean, my pa ain't got no negro. Look at
my ma.

I see.

Well, why don't you have Doc Madison
tend to your ma?

We don't have money for the doctor.

Well, Jimmy, I let Bill Bonavid birth
both of my boys, and he treats me and

Preacher Brent all the time.

I know, ma 'am. I heard about that.

My pa would skin me alive if I brought
him to our home to treat my ma.

He works for Mr. McCray and can't be
seen with the likes of him.

Well, Jimmy, Mrs. Carson can go inside
and try and tend to your mother, but Mr.

Bill and I are going to drive you over.
Oh, okay. I guess that'll be okay.

You're that preacher I heard about.

Don't want that darkie as a friend, huh?

Mr. Mitchell, I don't know what kind of
man you are, but I let my wife come and

help your wife because I'm a godly man.

But I will not stand here and let you
insult Bill Barnaby.

He's a good man.

Now, don't disrespect to you.

I know what you and your wife have done
for the people around here.

I know about him, too.

I don't cotton to a Negro looking after
a white woman as her doctor. Mr.

Mitchell!

I think we'd best be going.

Will you call my wife?

Yeah, I will.

Thank you kindly for your help.

Ma 'am?

Your wife is very sick.

You really need to get her to a doctor.

I'm sure you've done all you can, ma
'am.

Mo can be done.

If you mean by him, no, ma 'am.

She'll be just fine.

who's killing me. Somebody please say
something.

I'll say it.

Ain't nothing changed around here in all
this time.

I done birthed babies, men to folks, and
everything.

And there's still folk that feel like
Joe Mitchell.

He's right.

I mean, I couldn't believe that man
would sure let his wife die.

Then have Bill give her something to
cure her.

I don't know what to say.

I thought if you could show them that
you could do these things, folks would

change.

Well, some have.

At least the ones in our community.

But those folks in town, they have the
same mind as McCray.

All the prayer in the world hadn't
changed that man in all this time.

I'm not saying what you're doing here is
a good thing, preacher.

But you've got to accept, everybody
don't think like you.

I guess that's a lesson the good Lord
wants to teach me.

Preacher Brent looks pretty disappointed
about what happened today.

That's how the world is for people like
me.

Bill, you have to understand.

The preacher's a man who wants the world
to be a better place.

So it hurts him when he sees his hands
are tied.

Miss Elizabeth, Preacher Brent has done
my family a good service. He taught me

that a white man can be different than
the McCrays out here.

Maybe you should tell him that sometime.

It's hard to keep fighting for causes
that seem lost all the time.

It's all getting a little down.

Well, I didn't say it was a lost cause.

Maybe a little hard, but I hope not
lost.

I can see why Brent likes you so much.

You can take any situation and make him
smile.

I'm glad you're in our lives.

I reckon.

I'm pretty partial to you both myself.

Good night, Phil.

Good night, Miss Elizabeth.

Good night.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of
the Most High shall abide under the

shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge
and my fortress, my God, in Him will I

trust. Thou shalt not be afraid for the
terror by night, nor for the arrow that

flyeth by day, nor for the pestilence
that walketh in darkness, nor for the

destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and
ten thousand at thy right hand, but it

shall not come nigh thee.

And the captain of the Lord's host said
unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from thy

foot, for the place whereon thou
standest is holy.

Look at that picture. The angel talking
to Joshua.

What have you been reading there?

Psalms. Share some with us, please.

I will bless the Lord at all times. His
praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul shall make her boast in the
Lord.

The humble shall hear thereof and be
glad.

O magnify the Lord with me, and let us
exalt his name together.

I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and
delivered me from all my fears.

That's fine.

Careful,

don't wake your brother.

I won't, Ma.

Good night, son.

Don't really help her.

He'll do the best he can, son.

She couldn't be in better hands.

You go back to your room and say a
prayer for her.

Joshua, take your brother and try and
get some sleep.

Paul, one of those sheep that them
outlanders had done got on our land

And I saw where they've been bending our
fence back, letting them out.

Now they're coming on our land, Paul.

When are we going to do something?

I told you, boy.

I would let you know.

If you wasn't so stuck on that
preacher's wife, then we would have got

them outlanders long ago.

What did you say, boy?

You better watch yourself.

Well, I heard she's sick with the
consumption anyway.

Pretty bad off.

Where'd you hear that?

I was at the general store and overheard
Sister Frances talking to that Negro

woman, Alice.

Said she was sick and to go get that
healer man who was that Negro woman's

husband.

I'm going into town and I'm getting Doc
Madison.

But that ain't none of our business.

Besides, what would Ma think about it?

You let me deal with your Ma.

You understand?

He's gone.

Sorry, man. Doc Madison here to see your
wife.

You're too late.

She is gone.

Gone?

What do you mean, gone?

She can't be gone.

Beautiful creature like that.

We will all miss her.

She is with the Almighty now.

This is all your fault. You and that
Negro healing man.

What were you thinking?

Why didn't you get a real doctor?

Why didn't you get Doc Madison from
Bill?

Bill did his best.

He did all that could be done for her.

Doc Madison could not have done any
better.

I am sure.

I could have done something more.

But it's too late now.

And it's a shame, for sure.

She was a lovely woman.

A beautiful spirit.

And she will be sorely missed.

I know you believe you could have done
better.

But I trust in... Hush up!

The woman is dead.

What does it matter what either of you
think? Mike, that woman was my wife.

And right now, you are not welcome.

Elizabeth would not have liked you
upsetting everyone.

I have to ask you to leave.

Right now.

I am sorry for her sake.

But we have some business that is not
finished.

I will let you grieve.

But after that, things will change
around here.

I'm sorry, preacher.

We all thought highly of Miss Elizabeth.

Doc Madison.

I guess our best we go.

couldn't do without mom.

Mother would have wanted us to stick
together.

We can't stick together without mom.

Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling.

Calling for you and for me.

Be on the photo.

He's waiting and watching, watching for
you and for me.

Come home.

Come home.

Be who is weary.

Come home.

Fearlessly, tenderly, Jesus is calling.

Come home.

You want to go out with the boys this
time?

Yeah, Paul. Put me in charge. I'll take
care of them for you.

You sure you got the stomach for it.

I want it done right. You understand?

I understand, Paul.

We gonna do tonight, then? I say when we
do it. Calm down, boy.

Cody's just trying to help you.

It's best that we do it at night.

We can do it at night.

When they hold one of them church
meetings.

That'll put a scare on all them
outlanders.

I think the boy has a good idea.

Yeah.

Let's do it after one of those meetings.

Won't they see who it is?

Y 'all can wear a mask if you're afraid
of them.

I ain't afraid of nothing. I just
thought we want him to know it's us.

That'll stop him from squatting on our
land. Yeah, you go ahead and do that,

boy. But you make sure you do it right,
you hear?

I won't let you down, Paul.

Mike, don't do this.

Them peaceful folk, they ain't never
done nothing to us.

Paul, they ain't squatting. You know
that.

Get away from me, woman.

I told you about coming between me and
my boy.

All this fighting is for that dead woman
who never cared nothing about you.

This ain't about her. You need to watch
yourself.

Don't you make Larcy get into something
between you and that preacher.

He ain't never done nothing to you
except for marry Elizabeth.

Ma!

Turn him up like that.

It's over. She's gone.

It'll never be over.

He wants me dead.

He's not going to stop.

The hate that's in him fills you.

I'll be all right, Ma.

Just don't rile him again like that,
please, Ma.

Please, son.

Please don't do this.

I have to, Ma.

I have to prove to him that I'm strong
like him.

I want him to be proud of me.

Marcy.

What better way to learn than through
the good book?

The good book says that if we plant our
crop, we will reap

what we sow.

Well, we planted a good crop this year.

We did.

The good book says we should love our
neighbors.

Do the McCrays show us any love?

No. No, they don't. But brothers and
sisters, we must remain peaceful.

We cannot let the McCrays rile us.

Remember when the McCrays beat me up?

I say we fight back.

Before we lose everything.

My husband is a peaceful man.

He doesn't harm anyone.

And most of you all know that, dear.

It's just me, my son, and my husband.

And we cannot stand by and let McRae
tear down everything we have.

Yeah. Feeling his missing?

They're right.

I had some feelings with them McRae
folks.

They say we outlanders don't belong
here.

What do we care if they tell us we don't
belong?

This is God's country.

We came here, staked our claim, within
the law.

Preacher, you know there ain't no law
around here.

You gotta go clear to the soldiers in
Mount Johnson to get any help.

And that's a three -day ride, going and
back.

We don't need soldiers to keep our land.

As long as we have the good book, right?

Yeah.

Right.

Amen, preacher.

No McCrae is going to kick us off our
land.

You hear that?

My boy Joshua, he ain't afraid.

You folks going to let a boy shame you?

What is the matter with all of you?

Look, my younger boy over there.

Jonah.

I have my two sons with me.

Right, boys?

Yes, sir.

Well, maybe the preacher's right.

Well, I guess we could try.

Well, all right.

You hear that?

Come on, folks, let's join together.

If Brother Barnaby and Sister Barnaby
can stay and be peaceful, well, we can

too. Are you with me?

We're with you, Sister.

Will we let the McCrays steal our land?

No.

Tell the Lord you mean to keep your
land. Pray with me, brothers.

Pray with me, Sister.

We're praying with you.

We're praying with you.

We'll stop, preacher.

We'll stop when you outlanders pack up
and kick.

We are not leaving. This is our land,
and we mean to stay.

Lookie here, boys.

Preacher says they mean to stay.

Let's show them we don't take no guff
from the lack of them.

All right, now.

Tell nobody to do anything foolish.

Yeah, now y 'all be good little
outlanders. No one else get hurt.

So we're teaching them a lesson.

You stay there.

We ain't hurting them much.

Drag them, Johnny!

What are we going to do?

Everybody's gone.

We just need to find Paul, right?

Paul's dead.

Paul's dead. I know he is.

We're going to find him, right?

We just need to get to Mr. Bill's.

Quiet down.

He's hurt bad. He can't move.

What are we going to do?

We need to get something to drag Paul
on.

Start gathering some sticks.

Boys, let me help you.

Where's Mr. Bill?

He's out looking for your pa.

Where do you think he might be looking?

Joshua.

Joshua. Yes, ma 'am.

Your pa's going to be all right.

But this lady off her back.

I'm going to need you to go back to
where we have... at the church meeting.

He's around there looking for him.

Yes, ma 'am. Get the horse from the
barn.

Yes, ma 'am.

Jonah. Jonah, come here and help me with
your box.

Yes, ma 'am.

Don't worry.

It's going to get better.

It's just going to take some time.

Will you ever walk again?

I don't know.

Good.

Anything else, Paul?

No, I got everything I need.

Right here.

Paul, you always stand by your
principles.

I admire you for that.

A man can only stand on things he
believes.

I believe in this book.

Nothing else has been more faithful to
me than this.

Twenty years, I followed the Lord and
trusted him.

He kept me on this path.

I could not have done it on my own.

Do you ever think you should have done
things differently, though?

You mean about what happened?

Yeah.

I think about what they did to you.

I mean, it angers me.

I don't think I could go about it like
you do.

Joshua?

A man hurts.

But hurting another man is not the
answer.

What do you do with the pain?

You pray, son.

I told you you had to kill the preacher
to stop those outlanders.

Never stronger than ever with that
preacher man in a wheelchair.

Oh, I can't kill no preacher?

Bad luck.

Must have upset the outlanders all
around whenever we threw a scare at him.

Last time he almost died.

Almost and dead are two different
things.

I can't kill no preacher.

The settlers might fight back.

What's one preacher against 30 men?

We have more hands than men with guns.

And the settlers, they're peaceable, so
they don't carry guns.

Now you get back there, and you chase
them away.

I want you to catch all those outlanders
together so that we make our message

plain.

And then I want you to kill the
preacher.

How are we supposed to get them all
together and give them a good whippin'

sign? Boy, you don't know nothing, do
you?

They have a church meeting pretty near
every night.

I think they have one tonight.

You go over there and you rough up some
of those settlers.

And you take care of the preacher for
good.

But they'll be in church service.

I don't care.

Didn't you get them last time they were
in church?

Yeah, Paul.

But it didn't set right with me the last
time.

I don't want to go back.

You can't even walk no more.

I want you to do whatever it takes to
get rid of those lily

-livered cowards.

Now you're right over there.

Right now

Oh,

I know like the fact that

we didn't scare them outlanders.

Yeah, why didn't we do it Larson?

How would I look running behind an old
man who can't even walk?

I ain't doing it, no matter what Paul
says.

Paul's going to find out.

Who's going to tell him?

You, Ben?

I ain't going to say a word. You, Cody?

Johnny? Yes, sir.

Now, what Paul don't know won't hurt
him.

But he'll know if you killed or not,
boy.

Yeah, but I'll tell him that he was near
dead when we left him.

That's what I'm going to tell him. You
hear?

Maybe we can tell him at least we were
there.

We'll ride on over there.

Maybe you're right, Ben.

We'll ride over there and throw a scare
into them.

But I ain't going to kill him.

We're getting ready.

We're getting ready.

We're getting ready for our father's
home.

We're getting ready.

We're getting ready.

We're getting ready for the prairie
ride.

To the big mountain.

Way up in the sky.

We're getting ready.

Preacher! You gotta stop these people
from settling on McRae land.

We ain't hurting nobody.

We're settling and making our families
here.

We don't plan on leaving.

Don't make me have to come back out here
and teach you another lesson, Preacher.

What is wrong with you people?

You're gonna let them hurt an old man in
a wheelchair?

All you ever do is just sit around and
watch.

Looks like you got a problem, preacher.

In your own house.

Man's got trouble whenever his own kin
don't look up to him.

Jonah.

Son.

What were you doing?

We don't want to start anything.

I know how to handle this in a peaceful
manner.

I can't take it anymore, Pa.

Can't do it anymore.

Jonah.

Jonah. Come back here, boy.

Jonah.

Jonah.

We're getting ready.

We're getting ready.

We're getting ready.

We're getting ready.

We're getting ready.

We're getting ready.

Jonah.

You hear, Paul?

Where you been?

Paul's been worried sick.

Thinking? Thinking.

Thinking about what?

About how you embarrassed Paul?

Thinking I don't fit in here anymore.

You're just young.

You'll be better when you get a little
older.

You'll be better?

I don't understand.

I see what they did to Paul every night
in my dreams.

I wish I could kill Larson McRae.

I mean that.

McRae thinks Paul's a coward. They ain't
never gonna leave us alone.

Paul ain't no coward.

He's a brave man.

You don't understand.

He believes in turning the other cheek.

Which is what the good book said.

It said, love your neighbors.

Look at Paul.

Look at him. The neighbors don't love
us.

You will learn, little brother.

You will learn.

Learn what?

Everybody in town calls Paul a coward.

I can't go anywhere and keep my head
held up high.

They make fun of me, Paul. Everything
that happened.

Try to understand. I don't want to
understand.

Paul gave all the money we had to them
settlers.

We work and we work and the McCrae's,
they come around and they just tear

everything down.

I just want my share.

I've been working hard ever since Ma
died.

I can't stay here.

Death is all around us.

I know you miss Ma.

But Paul loved her, too.

Ma died because Paul gave all his money
to the settlers.

That's why Ma died.

And he's still helping them.

Wait, Joni, you know Mr. Bill is a good
healer.

No one could do more.

You know he did his best.

Mr. Bill's a good man, but he's no
doctor.

And I don't want to talk about this
anymore.

Jonah, leave.

Me alone.

Paul, we need to talk about the things.

Jonah, don't.

So, you decided to come home, did you,
boy?

Yes, sir.

I did.

Not for long.

Say what's on your mind, boy.

You seem to be troubled.

I am troubled, Paul.

What's troubling you?

I don't feel right.

Say what you mean, boy.

I don't believe in the same things as
you and Joshua do.

You've been believing all these years.

Now what done changed your mind about
God?

God?

Paul, it's you.

Me?

I don't understand what you mean.

Be like you.

Look at yourself.

Work, work.

What do you have to show for it?

The good Lord has my riches. I am
working for him.

You gave all the money to the church
folk. You keep it up, there's going to

nothing left for Joshua and me.

So that's it.

Is that what you've been worrying about,
boy?

Some money?

Joshua.

Joshua!

Yeah, Paul?

What's wrong?

Go over and get that satchel for me.

There, boy.

Take that.

Take it.

And see what you can do to make you
happy.

Paul, what are you doing?

Your brother wants his share of the
farm.

She says I'm squandering it all away on
God's people.

I see why I'm dead carton boy.

Isn't he a little young for you?

They come in here, they're fair game.

With that being, I can go over. You do,
and you'll deal with me.

Just remember, he's that preacher boy.

What? The one that McCrae was with you.

You don't say much like he's interested
in preaching now.

Hanging with McCrae, boy.

Go easy, Mae.

I will.

Bye.

You talking to me?

Yes, I'm talking to you.

Okay,

Barkeep, set him up.

Aren't you chameleon?

I'm much older than I look.

Not bad.

Jonah, come on over. Let's get the game
started.

I'll be right over.

Yes,

ma 'am, I am.

Well,

I'm sorry, what should I call you then?
I mean, what is your name?

Yes, ma 'am.

I mean, ma 'am.

Man,

I just lost all my money. What am I
gonna do now? Don't worry about it.

find you a job. You're one of us. A job
doing what?

I'll take it. I'll find you something to
do.

You hear about what Jonah been doing
these days?

Yeah. He's in town running around with
them cowboys.

I'm working on the farm.

Sound a little upset.

More like this.

I don't understand why my father let
Jonah take the money and run off into

I just wanted him to see the difference,
I guess.

The difference in what?

All he does is run around drinking,
shooting things up.

Them outlaw cowboys from McCrae's.

I can't believe he's dealing with that
man after everything that happened.

Jonah's green.

He doesn't know anything about those
things.

He's scared, I think.

Scared of what?

He's going around with the people who
have terrorized us.

I know you're disappointed in your
brother's play.

I talked to Jonah before he left.

He seemed real messed up about
everything.

I heard, too.

But I didn't run away.

I know you do.

I know you do.

Look what your mother's death did to
Jonah.

She was my mother, too.

I miss her just as much as he does.

Jonah's not as strong as you and I.

I mean, look what happened to him when
your father got hurt.

He sounds just like my mother.

Joey thought that way about him.

That's why she babied him, so... Your
mother loved Jonah.

Sure she didn't mean to baby him.

Then why he running off and leaving my
father like this now?

He's lost and he's hurt.

Well, what do you expect me to do about
it?

I have to keep this place together.

I don't have time to run after him.

Take care of your father and the farm.

Come along.

I don't have time to worry about that.

He's in God's hands now.

And that's a good place for him then.

We'll let God handle this matter.

Man has to find himself some time in
life.

Come here, girl.

bad boy.

Nobody ever gets you as a good boy once.

Now don't go bringing up things of the
past.

You know McCraven isn't here looking for
you.

He'll see me soon enough.

Go grab me a drink.

Sit on down there.

I've got to go sing and dance. You've
got time. Sit down and keep me in

You old man of praise been looking for
you?

Well, I'll see him after I finish this
last drink.

He's pretty riled up. You better hurry.
All right, all right.

Hey, now you don't go anywhere. I'll be
back soon.

They're going to have to wait. I'll keep
them company. I'll see you.

Cody, go on.

In town, at the saloon with May.

You spend all your time with that gal.
You know she ain't no good no how.

Don't talk about May like that. She's
got a good heart.

Sound like your pop.

A good heart.

You on soft on me, boy?

No. Just saying May's good to hang out
with.

Ain't nothing serious.

Good.

Man's got to think about a good, clean
woman when it comes time to settling.

You say anything about settling.

It's like hanging out with May is all.

All right, boy.

You got the right idea.

Have all the fun you can while you can.

Time comes soon enough when a man's got
to make a choice.

What'd you send for me, Mr. McCray?

Something wrong?

Yes.

I want you to ride out to the open
country. I put a scare to some new

Show them how we do things around here.

Yeah. I know how we do things around
here.

You know,

I think of you as one of my own kin.

What makes you say that?

Well, we both ain't got no heart, that's
all.

Do we?

Yeah, no heart.

What's that ever got you anyways?

That's what I mean.

You're two of a kind.

Yes, sir. You're right about that. We
are two of a kind.

And let me get Larson and Cody right on
out of here.

Yeah, boy.

Cody, Larson.

I'm going out there with Jonah, and you
put a scare into those new settlers.

You hear?

Yeah, let's do it.

Pa, I told you.

I can take care of them myself.

I don't need Jonah or Cody.

Come on, Larson. Let us tag along.

Chasing outlanders is fun.

What do you want, all the fun to
yourself?

You're a strange man.

But I liked it.

Let's go.

Bill?

Did we get the supplies from town?

No.

I'll go in town later and pick up
everything.

I can pick everything up if you want
with you, pup.

No, that's all right, son.

I wanted to drop some things off at
Preacher Brent's anyway.

How's he doing, Pop?

I know it's hard for him all alone in
that broken -down old farm of his.

Well, I guess he's doing all right.

Wait.

Wilson's coming. Now, come at him fast.

Pick him up and get up in the house.

Huh? Why?

Do it.

Go. Do it! Do it now!

Jonah, what?

Why are you here?

I'm doing what needs to be done.

You stood around and let Pa print near
death.

I was just a boy.

I was the only one fighting for him. You
just stood around.

Coward. Why are you doing this?

Look, let me explain. You don't have
to... Get off of me!

Old man McCray, he told you to stay away
from the north fence.

But you outlanders, you just keep on
sitting.

That's not his land.

That's free territory.

That's McCray's land.

His cow's been grazing there since I can
remember.

Since you can remember?

What are you talking about?

Don't you remember what they did to your
pa?

I remember many things.

I remember you outlanders being nothing
but cowards. And I remember his mangled

body. And I vow to never be a coward
like pa.

Burn it down.

You burn it all down.

No, Jonah.

You used to be one of us, too.

used to love god used to read the good
book with all of us wait a minute for

your pa to get hurt we love him shut up
i hate you i hate all you outlanders i

ain't never gonna be a coward like pa
look what good that did him cody shut

up

What you boys been up to tonight?

We've been running settlers out of town.

What?

Why? Why are you bothering peaceful
folk? They don't bother us no more. They

barely even come into town.

Old man McRae said they fill it on North
Fence on his land.

Teach them outlanders a lesson.

A lesson?

Like the lesson they taught you in your
bar ten years ago?

Hey, don't speak on that. That's past.

You don't even go see your Paul. You
know he's laid up in some rickety old

lying in bed. Don't you care at all?
Can't help what happened to him.

I can't bear to see Paul like that.

It's not my fault he's a coward, and
that's why he's in that condition.

What happened?

That's when you start caring about
outlanders. I didn't say anything about

outlanders. I just don't think it's fair
for you to let your Paul die in that

house. He's fine.

He's got them church folks looking after
him.

He loves them more than he loves me.

Then end that good book.

Did you get those outlanders?

Yes, sir, I sure did. Burned those farms
down real nice. Sent a strong message

to them. Good job, boy.

You ain't no outlander. Not by far.

Why do you say that?

You know, the forest has been talking.

Seen the folks are talking about things
that happened around these parts years

ago.

You thought maybe it bothered you.

Was your paw on off?

No. Ain't nothing bothering me.

That's my boy.

I knew you were okay.

Just the boy's been talking.

You got nothing to worry about.

Ain't no Bible -toting church member to
think God's gonna solve all my problems.

No, I ain't.

And we ask these things in Jesus' name.

Amen. And all the good people say, Amen.

Why don't you join me in one of our
favorite choruses. Which one was that?

are marching to the kingdom.

We are marching to the kingdom.

Jesus is our savior and protector.

We are marching to the kingdom. We are
marching to the kingdom.

We are marching to our heavenly home.

To the kingdom.

To the kingdom.

We are marching to our heavenly home.

To the kingdom.

To the kingdom.

We are marching to our heavenly home.
What are you saying?

Jesus ain't your protector, you stupid
outlander.

You're going to die someday, you keep
believing that.

We believe Jesus is our protector.

Good book says so.

You used to believe those things.

Why are you still here?

Ain't you supposed to leave town?

You ain't got nothing left.

We burned it all to the ground.

Red Spring is our home.

We're not leaving here.

We forgive you, Jonah.

We know you're trying to find your way.

You're crazy.

Weak. Cowards.

We're not cowards, Jonah.

Take the strong person to forgive.

It's easy to fight and hurt people.

You're crazy.

You're crazy!

Let's go back to our course.

We are marching to the kingdom. We are
marching to the kingdom.

Who is that?

Someone out there.

Show yourself. I can't come to you.

It's me, Paul.

Jonah.

My boy.

I have been praying for you to come.

Yeah, Paul.

Praying.

You still don't believe, do you, boy?

Believe what?

That God is the answer to all my
problems?

No. I don't believe that.

You have to believe, boy. Do you hear?
Why? Why do I have to believe? Church

members left you for dead.

They didn't even stop them from hurting
you.

Them?

Who is them?

Are they the people you're working for?
Yes, I work for McCrae. He owns all the

land from miles around.

Yes, I do his dirty work.

Better than being a coward.

You're the coward, son.

You think I'm a coward?

Coward bullies people who are weaker
than them. That's a coward. Not a person

willing to stand and take whatever they
have to for what they believe in.

Don't you remember the story of Abraham?

I don't want to talk about Abraham.

Was he a coward?

Following God's instruction to sacrifice
his own son Isaac?

When God provided the sacrifice, Abraham
was considered favorable in God's eyes.

Then all the generations of Abraham were
blessed.

How do you still believe in that stuff?
All you've been through.

Why didn't you fight back?

There are people in the Bible who fought
back.

Yes.

But God led them to fight.

There are many ways to fight.

Many ways.

Ours is the peaceable one.

Well, maybe I'm not the peaceable kind
of fighter.

Paul. Paul!

Oh, my God.

Please.

You've got to make it right, son.

You've got to make it right with God.

I will.

I will, Paul.

I didn't mean it, Paul.

I'm an outlander, Paul. Please.

Paul! What are you doing?

You know his heart is bad.

I want to move home. I don't, Paul.

Get the bottle right there.

It helps him with his heart.

So is he going to be all right?

Yeah.

He's going to be just fine.

Where are you going?

Jonah!

You don't keep a lady waiting on you all
night?

Honey, what's wrong?

I almost killed Father.

What? What happened?

Well, he was talking. I got him all
riled up.

He's got a bad heart. He had an attack.

I'm sorry.

You can't keep me all to yourself.

Leave her alone.

She's working longer.

Isn't that right, Maggie?

I ain't gonna tell you again, Larky.

Get off me.

You think you're better than me?

Look at what you do here.

You're no better than me.

Are

you

all right?

I'm fine.

I gotta go take care of something.

You sure you're gonna be all right?

Yeah, I'll be okay.

Where's Jonah?

I don't know, Paul.

He left the saloon last night, and I
haven't seen him ever since.

What do you mean?

What happened to make him leave?

He came by here last night and told me
how you all got those outlanders.

Yeah, we got them, but... Jonah's been
acting kind of strange.

Jonah always acts strange.

I mean, different kind of strange.

Stranger than usual.

I don't care what you think.

Go find my boy Jonah and you bring him
back here. Your boy Jonah?

I'm your boy, Paul.

Jonah ain't your son.

He's a better son than you are.

When I ask him to do things, he gets
them done.

What are you saying?

You're not putting Jonah before me, are
you, Paul?

I plan to leave half the ranch to Jonah
when I die.

This is the McRae ranch.

And that's the way it's going to stay.

Don't need to worry, son.

I'm sure Jonah will share the ranch with
you.

Maul was right.

Jonah looks just like Miss Elizabeth,
and that's why you're doing all this.

watch your mouth, boy.

Why can't you be happy with me the way I
am?

I do love you, son. It's just that I
don't... Don't say anything else.

I know what I have to do.

What are you going to do?

You don't have it in you.

You don't have the guts.

I'm going.

And if I see Jonah, I'm going to kill
him.

You go get Jonah.

Cody, Johnny, go with him.

I won't kill Jonah.

He might kill you.

Be careful, boy.

When a man has that much hate in him...

He'll do pretty near anything Let's ride

Need any help

I've

been praying for you to come home Glad
to see you Jonah

when the hold is up since you burned it
up I'm sorry man. I'll make it

up to you

What changed you, Jonah? Why are you
here?

Matt.

Doesn't matter why he's here.

Can't you see he's different?

You are different, Jonah.

Why don't you tell us what happened to
change you so?

Paul almost died last night.

Oh, no.

I'm sorry, Jonah.

Me too.

But you have not been out there much to
see him.

Why did you go out there last night?

I don't know. I just can't seem to get
it out of my mind with everything that

happened.

What do you mean?

You didn't seem to care much before.

I do care.

I mean... But... Everything that
happened that night when McCray's

men dragged Paul and left him for dead.

And you guys stood around and did
nothing.

But you almost lost him before and you
left without a care or concern.

Matt, that's what you say.

No, Matt's right.

It's all right.

It was at that moment when I realized I
was going to lose Paul.

But I had to come home.

It's about time.

Matt.

No, it's all right.

He's right to feel that way.

Go on, Jonah.

Well... I lost everything I had.

And I realized I had everything from the
McCrae's.

Hanging out with them was like...

Hanging out with pigs.

They just care about themselves. They
don't care about anybody else but

themselves.

That's what Preacher Brent taught us. To
be peaceable.

Vengeance is mine, said the Lord.

Don't preach to me, Matt.

My heart is all full from Paul preaching
to me last night.

What'd he say?

He taught me to do what God wants you to
do rather than to do what you want for

yourself.

Every man has to do what he believes in.

And it takes more of a coward to fight
rather than not fight back and work

things out.

Well, it sounds like you really listened
this time, Jonah.

No, I did.

No, I really did.

Pa told me to work things out with God.

I'm still learning that part.

Well, what are you going to do about old
man McCray?

Nothing. He doesn't control me. I'm my
own man.

Jonah. You have worked for McRae for a
long time.

I know I have. Think he's just going to
let you go?

He thinks of you as his son.

I only got one, Paul.

And no one can replace him.

What are you going to do?

I'll be fine.

Don't worry about me.

Jonah, wait.

Let us all go with you.

This is something I have to do on my
own.

By that I mean me and God.

I pray for you, Jonah.

I believe God will provide.

Me too, man.

Me too.

Larson's looking for you. He's talking
about killing you. Killing me?

Why do you want to kill me?

Because he thinks you're going to steal
his ranch. His father's talking about

leaving half of everything to you.

What? I don't want his ranch.

I don't want anything from him.

Larson's riding up. Are you going to be
okay?

I'm going to be just fine.

Now, don't you worry about me.

Well, be careful.

Where you been, Jonah?

Since when did I answer you?

Since my father went crazy and said he
was going to give you our land.

I don't want your land or anything you
have.

Why? Why don't you want it?

My father said he loved you more than
me.

No, he doesn't. You stand up to him.

Help him understand how wrong that is.

I can't do that.

But if I kill you, I can prove to him
that I'm worthy to be his son. And not

you. You kill me.

You'll only make him love me more.

What are you talking about?

If I don't kill you, people will think
I'm a coward.

They will if you do.

And I don't have a gun anymore.

I'm turning my back, Larson.

You're going to shoot me in the back,
Larson?

Then shoot.

You turn around.

Turn around and think of me like a man.

I ain't gonna fight you, Larson.

I don't have to.

Jonah!

Don't you walk away from me!

Jonah, what am I gonna tell Paul?

You tell him I'm an outlander!

Tell him!

He'll understand.

Lord loves us and keeps us from harm.

Yes, he does.

Preach it, preacher.

Now let us celebrate and thank heaven
for

my son who is lost

has returned home.

Yes.

The prodigal son has returned home.

Sister Barnaby, let's prepare a big
feast.

Yes.

And enjoy the blessing of the Lord.

Praise God.

Amen.

Bringing in the seed.

We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the
seed.

We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the
seed.
