I've kept count, Clint.

That's over 300 you ain't paid for since you been back.

Got them pains again Clint?

It's all right, Charlie.

I can live with it.

Just gets me sometimes.

Not on the counter.

Jake when my brother went to war,

he was waving the flag real good.

Now that he's home again and hurt

you sure lost a lot of your patriotism.

If Clint could breathe in as good as he blows out,

he'd be a well man.

Clint if you can stop gasping long enough,

I've got something to tell you.

Well you're a fine brother, Ben.

The way you always talk you'd think

Clint can just wave his hand or something

and chase the pain away.

I seen him do it when he wanted to.

Clint there's a stranger in town.

There's lots of strangers in town.

How many named Yuma?

Are you sure that's his name?

It's the name he gave the blacksmith.

Johnny Yuma.

What's he look like?

Blonde hair, about my build, wears a rebel cap.

So he finally come.

Bacon, flour, salt, bread,

sugar, molasses, 10 penny nails.

Anything else?

One more thing.

Box of 12 gauge shells.

Double load buckshot.

Yuma?

Johnny Yuma!

I know why you've come to town.

Now you come out here where I can see ya.

Well what do you know?

Mowbree I hardly knew you without your hickory club.

I'm a changed man, Yuma.

In Rock Island Prison we called this man the beast.

The only guard who carried a club in one hand

and a whip in the other.

At war time...

At war time every soldier

including prison guards has his orders.

But he, he can hate to carry 'em out.

The only thing you ever hated doing

was to stop beating the Confederate soldiers

just short of killing 'em.

Look, I'm half dead, Yuma.

Wouldn't be hard to do.

I'm not armed.

Why don't you go ahead and shoot me down?

The last time you saw me you said you'd kill me

if you ever saw me again.

Last time I saw you I had a lump on my head

and the blood running into my eyes.

But the war's over.

If you didn't come here looking for my brother on purpose,

then what are you doing in Four Points?

I was passing through heading south.

With every other town in the world to aim for, you,

you pinpointed this one.

My horse lost a shoe.

He never tells me his plans.

Well if anybody finds my body in the brush

with a bullet in it,

Who's really looking for vengeance?

Look I just want him where I know

I can talk to him, that's all.

We'll keep an eye on him until he gets out of town.

We'll take him over to the house with us.

Clint knows what he's doing, Ben.

March 14, 1864.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Yuma broke out of Rock Island Prison,

we've heard it 100 times Clint.

Right under my nose, he done it.

That's what started it all.

And I paid a heavy price for the blame, too.

He was the only prisoner I ever lost.

Well as far as I'm concerned, he can stay lost.

You coming Charlie?

Go lady.

Hold that horse, Yuma.

Now don't touch that gun.

You'd like me to try, wouldn't ya?

Dismount.

Take his sidearm.

As far as I'm concerned, you're still an escaped prisoner.

Put your hands behind your neck and get moving.

He ain't an animal, Clint.

He's my prisoner, and I'm his guard again,

and I'm gonna make him pay me back in kind

for all the suffering he caused me.

I caused you?

You're gonna gasp for air

the way I gasp for air because of you.

So that's why you brought him here.

You want to treat him like you did

that calf when we was kids.

Shut up.

Pa whipped you when it busted out of the corral.

The next time it got loose, you...

I said shut up!

When you found it you beat it to death with a rock!

You said you were just gonna talk to him, Clint.

Charlie, when I get stirred up

you know what it does to me.

We've gotta stick together.

We're the same family.

Blood and blood and bones and bones and...

Believe me, it's the right way.

When you busted out of Rock Island,

they said when you were caught

you were gonna spend your time in solitary.

Well you've been caught now, Mr. Yuma,

and you're gonna spend two days in solitary.

In that smokehouse out there.

Have you gone out of your mind?

I'm sorry Charlie, but I had to do it

for my peace of mind and body.

Tie him up.

Well go ahead, it's only gonna be for a little while.

Mowbree, every day I spent in that iron cage

I prayed for a chance to kill you.

It held me together.

Kept me alive, just planning how I'd do it.

Well you see, he still wants to kill me.

Now can you blame me?

I've got my rights to do

anything I want to to protect myself.

I reckon.

I'm not gonna kill him, no.

Two days in that smokehouse will clear his head.

He's not gonna get enough air in there, Clint.

You're going too far.

Well two days in there will give him a chance

to see what I have to go through.

Fighting to get enough air

in my lungs and chest to keep alive.

What are those things for?

When I was busted from prison duty,

it wasn't because I was a bad guard.

You see he's shrewd, lucky.

That's how he got away.

Now we'll see if he can do it again.

You had some water then.

Have some now.

And some vittles.

A little sparse.

And a light.

Now here's something you didn't have before.

Remember when you were in prison

you said if you had a gun,

you'd put yourself out of your misery?

You drove me to thinking about it, Mowbree.

You might think that way again.

One cartridge, in case you do.

You got it all worked out real neat, haven't ya?

With the door closed, there won't be much air.

Charlie you're not gonna grudge me that are ya boy?

After what we've been to each other?

I still don't want any part of it, Clint.

Charlie you like this any better?

Now you stand the first watch.

I'll go inside and talk to Ben.

He'll understand, and I'll cut him loose.

Go ahead.

Charlie?

- Charlie you alone? - Yeah.

Why?

Charlie your brother Clint hasn't worked you over

with a club and a whip,

but you're his prisoner just the same.

He owns ya.

Nobody owns me, Yuma.

I stick with my own, that's all.

All Clint has to do is look sick,

and he's got you right where he wants ya.

He makes you do things you don't wanna do.

You're locked up tight, Charlie.

You know Ben's his brother too,

but he knows loyalty only goes so far.

You saw what Clint did to him.

I ain't gonna listen to any more.

You know Charlie, I knew a prison guard just like you.

They really hated keeping men penned up.

It was a dirty jail that was forced on 'em.

But your brother did it because he enjoyed

seeing men suffer.

That's a lie!

He joined up to fight.

Fight a bunch of caged men who couldn't fight back.

He was a soldier first, Yuma.

He did all the fighting

for the Mowbrees when the war broke out.

I was too young to go and they turned down Ben,

but they took Clint.

But he sure didn't waste any time getting that job

as a guard where he couldn't get hurt.

He came home with four bayonet holes in him, Yuma.

My share, Ben's share, and some left over

so whatever he needs from me, I'm gonna give him.

Now keep shut, reb.

I'm gonna turn you loose.

You're free to go, Yuma.

Yeah, yeah.

And if you let me have both barrels in the belly

with nobody around, you can tell all the people in town

you were just trying to protect yourself.

They might believe you, Mowbree.

Now are you gonna come out Yuma,

or am I coming in?

Well that's fine, just come on in I'm waiting.

I got that gun all put together

and one cartridge is all I need.

You're gonna be glad to come out, Yuma.

It was only a pitchfork.

Get our rifles, Charlie.

Go on.

What happened Clint?

I don't know.
