[music continues]

[instrumental music]

- Howdy.
- Howdy.

- Pick up the mail?
- Yep.

Got a telegram for the judge.

This must be for me.

Always tell by looking
at the name on the envelope.

Yeah? You know something?
I like it better my way.

Hmm, how about that telegram?

Oh, yes, right here on top.

I never cared much for 'em.

- Telegrams?
- Yeah.

Most of the time, it means
something just happened.

Something's goin' to happen
and...

somebody's gotta know about
it right away

and it's usually bad news.

The last one sure was.

How's the judge today?

He's coming around,
still feels bad

that he didn't get the news in
time to go East for the funeral.

Hm, I don't get it.

Did you even hear him talk
about even havin' a sister.

Once or twice, I gather
they were real close

before she got married.

I better run this up
to the judge.

Let's hope this time
it's good news.

[instrumental music]

Hey, I got the mail.

It's all for me though.

- William?
- Over here.

It's from that ugly girlfriend
of yours.

- Judge, you got a minute?
- Come in.

- Travis picked this up in town.
- Oh.

- Oh, she's on her way.
- Your niece?

Yeah.

I'm glad.

Well, it'll be good havin'
her here.

What's she like?

Oh, I don't know, I...
I expect she favors my sister.

And, judge, uh, all of this
never got around her.

Telling her how sorry
we were about

your sister and her husband.

Like that sure makes you
feel helpless.

Wonder how it affected her,
Jennifer.

- She's on her way.
- Yeah.

Say, I ordered some new
furniture for the guest room.

At least we'll have a lot
of fixin' up to do

around the ranch now.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[gunshot]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

Alright, folks, this is it.

Is this Medicine Bow?

No, ma'am, this is Tylerville.

You'll have a few minutes
to walk around

but don't drift too far.

No, sir.

[instrumental music]

Johnny: Hello.

Hello.

Couldn't help noticing
your book.

Tell me, does the villain
get killed?

I don't know.

I mean, I wasn't reading
that carefully.

I thought I'd learn about
the West but...

I'm afraid I got the wrong book.

Oh, it doesn't matter.

In these books, the, the hero

always lives and the villain
always gets killed.

It was highly recommended.

- In, uh, New York?
- No, in Boston.

I'm afraid they don't know very
much about the West in Boston.

They tell stories about
Boston in Wyoming too.

They sure make it sound
awful strange.

I'm sure it isn't.

I guess we're going to be riding
together on the stage.

I'm Jennifer Sommers.

Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
My name is Johnny Bradford.

You've been travelin' a long
time all the way from Boston.

How far you goin'?

Medicine Bow.

That's, uh, two stops
before mine.

Do you know this part
of the country?

Some.

Jennifer: Have you ever heard
of a ranch called Shiloh?

No.

It's my uncle's.

His name is Garth, Henry Garth.

- What's the matter?
- Nothing.

Your whole face sorta changed
when you said his name

like, like you didn't
really wanna go.

It's just that
I don't know him.

You don't have to say anymore.

- I understand.
- Do you?

Well, I've got relatives
I'm going to work for and, uh...

I'm scared.

I hate to say it but I am.

Alright, folks,
we're ready to go.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental music]

Whoa!

You folks got a minute
to stretch your legs.

I'm goin' to water the horses.

You aren't gonna stay with
your uncle for good?

I don't know.

I'm not sure if I really
want to.

What about your folks?

They died, in a train wreck
a few weeks ago.

I'm sorry.

Of course it means nothing
to say that but...

but I know, I know how you feel.

Had no folks I, I never
knew my father and...

my mother sorta disappeared
when I was eleven.

Of course that's a long
time ago.

[birds chirping]

Oh.

It's pretty here.

When I was a kid, I found me
a rock that sparkled like that.

You know, most people don't
know.

They see stones on the ground,
they step on 'em.

But you rub the dirt off and...

Johnny: And look.

It's no diamond, just a little
chunk of crystal.

But it catches the sun for me.

It's real pretty.

Tells me everything's
gonna be alright.

Right now it, uh...

tells me everything's gonna
be alright for you too.

Is it sure?

Sure, you gotta lot of spunk.

Just make people look at you.

Usually people don't-- don't
take the trouble to see.

To see what's really there.

Alright, folks, we're ready.

Well, looks like we can go now.

You'll be in Medicine Bow
in no time, ma'am.

I want my uncle to meet you.

Thank you, but I'd just soon not
be in the way.

Now, you got a lot
to get used to.

Your uncle too, don't throw
another stranger into the pot.

It's better that way,
believe me.

[instrumental music]

Giddy-up now.

[instrumental music]

How are ya?

How you doin', Dick?

Don't worry nobody's seen
you carrying those posies.

She might not even like 'em.

Oh, she's bound to think
it's a nice gesture.

That stage late.

[sighs]

Nah, it's not due for
another five minutes.

You ever seen your niece?

No, not since she was a baby.

I mean, it's nice having
a girl around the house again

won't it, Randy?

I guess so, I sure miss Betsy.

Medicine Bow!

Jennifer? You must be Jennifer.

Yes, I am.

This is Randy, one of my hands.

Welcome to Medicine Bow
and Shiloh.

Randy: Well, anyhow welcome.

Oh, thank you.
They're very nice.

Well, now I-- I'll show you
where those flowers came from.

Alright, folks, time to load up.

[instrumental music]

Giddy-up now!

Move!

[instrumental music]

Whoa!

Jennifer: It's so beautiful.

Garth: Well, I hope you like it.

It's very different from
any place I ever lived in.

[instrumental music]

Well, we fixed up
the guest room for you.

Of course you're free to change
it anywhere you like.

Thank you.

Well, I'll show you the house

and after you've settled in
we'll have something to eat

and talk a while.

[birds chirping]

[instrumental music]

Well, come in.

Did you have a good rest?

Is your room comfortable?

Fine, thank you.

Well, you know, I used to do
quite a bit of cooking

when I was married to
your Aunt Margaret

of course that was some
years ago but...

I can still whip up
a pretty decent meal.

You must be expecting
quite a few guests?

Well [chuckles]...

I suppose I did overdo
it a little.

Jennifer, I do want us to feel
at home with each other.

There's so many questions
I'd like to ask you.

About your mother.

Why are you so interested now?

You didn't seem to be
when she was alive.

We weren't very close
for some years.

But she was my sister
and I loved her.

She was still beautiful.

And papa was the handsomest
man in Boston.

But you didn't ask me about him.

Jennifer, I won't try to take
your parents place.

I'm going to tell you the truth.

I came here because
I had no other choice.

I'm not much good at pretending.

I can't be your loving niece.

And if, uh, that's what
you bargained for

you better send me back
to Boston right now.

And waste all this good food?

Jennifer...

you don't have to be
my loving niece.

I don't ask for your affection.

Well, it can't hurt

for you to accept it
when it's freely given.

[instrumental music]

If you let us, Jennifer

we'll do everything we can
to try to help you.

[instrumental music]

You think maybe
Tilly needs some exercise?

Well, now, Randy,
that's a matter of opinion.

Tilly thinks she needs sleep.

Hey, now what do we call you?

A midwife or, uh,
just a friend of the family?

I can't help worrying about her.

Oh, Ms. Jennifer.

I'm sorry.
I didn't think anyone was here.

We're glad to see you.

You're, uh, supposed to
introduce us.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Ah, Jennifer, this is Tramps.

Happy to know you, ma'am.

I, uh, hope you found
the furniture to your likin'.

- Furniture?
- In your room.

We, uh, we had a time
getting the bed set up.

Well, the judge sent all the way
to Cheyenne for it.

That's a nice horse, Randy.

She's gettin' ready to foal.
It's her first time.

Ever since the judge
gave Randy the foal,

you've never seen such a fuss
made over a mare.

Well, what's wrong with that?

Have you taken her to a doctor?

Why? She's not sick.

[chuckles] I guess I don't know
very much about horses.

Well, you oughta start learnin',

that is if you're aimin'
to stay out here.

Well, I don't know
if I'm aiming to or not.

Well, Ms. Jennifer,
Randy'll help you learn.

You ask him anything you wanna
know about a horse,

he'll tell you. That's one thing
he knows about, horses.

Go ahead, Randy.
Tell her.

Ah, well...

I guess the first thing
you oughta know

is that there's stallions
and mares.

[chuckles]
Even in the East we know that.

Well, then you gotta remember

that a horse is
smarter than you.

Ah, he means
smarter than some of us.

Well, I mean, you know,
they can lead you home

on a dark trail at night
when you couldn't see.

On the other hand, he'll hang
around the barn and eat all day

unless you tell him
he has work to be done.

Ah, Ms. Jennifer,
this is our foreman.

He runs a ranch
for your uncle.

- Say, I help him run.
- Glad to meet you.

It's a pleasure to have you
at Shiloh, ma'am.

Thank you.

Tilly seems to be doin' alright.

Randy been telling you his plans
for the foal?

Well, he hadn't gotten around to
his plans.

More like dreams.

About having a little ranch of
my own someday.

There's nothing wrong
with dreaming, Randy.

Would you like to see
a dream come true?

- Shiloh.
- [chuckles] I've seen it.

Well, you've seen the house
and the barn.

There's a lot more to it
than that.

I'll be glad to show you.

Oh, thank you,
but I just arrived.

Well, I wasn't suggesting
this evening.

How about tomorrow?
Can you ride?

Of course.
But not well.

Well, start you out
on something real gentle.

- Can you be ready at 7:00?
- But I don't--

- 8:00?
- Alright.

- And I can be ready at 7:00.
- Good.

[instrumental music]

Better go easy on that rein.
It's a well-trained horse.

The bit and the bridle,
the only ways he has of knowing

what you want him to do.

Jennifer: You must have
great distances to ride.

Not much compared to
what they used to do.

They used to drive cattle
all the way

to the Mississippi River.

Jennifer: When I was
a little girl

and I heard my uncle had
a cattle ranch.

I couldn't wait to see it.

I begged my mother to take me.

You're here now, Ms. Jennifer.

Yes, but I'm not
a little girl anymore.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

It's one of the first buildings
on Shiloh.

[instrumental music]

Your aunt and uncle lived here
for a while

when they were
settling this land.

It's not very big,
but I guess their dreams

more than made up for that.

[neighing]

That's funny.
No one ever comes here.

Don't you use the cabin
for anything?

Mr. Bradford.
Johnny, what are you doing here?

It's good to see you again,
Ms. Jennifer.

I thought you were on your way
to see some relatives.

Yes, ma'am, I, I saw them,
and they saw me,

and nobody liked what they saw.

Oh, this is my uncle's foreman.

This is Johnny Bradford.

- Howdy.
- Pleased to meet you.

Is this your uncle's place?

Part of it. It's huge.

I hope you don't mind
my using the cabin.

It, uh, looked abandoned
and I was all done in.

You know Ms. Jennifer,
it's alright.

Thanks.

Jennifer: Where will you go
from here?

Well, I, I guess I'll have to
let you know when I get there.

You mean you have
no place to go?

Do you think you could
put him on at Shiloh?

- There's so much going on.
- You don't have to--

I know,
but it's alright to ask.

I'm afraid we've taken on

about all the hands
we can use right now.

Are you sure?

I'm afraid I am, Ms. Jennifer.

We'll be happy to give you
a meal before you leave.

- A meal?
- No, no. No, thanks.

I'll, uh, I'll have to look
for work some other place.

But I'd appreciate it
if you let me stay out here

the rest of the day.

Sure you can stay.

We better be getting back,
Ms. Jennifer.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

Get in there! Get in there!
Come on!

- Let's go.
- Hit him! Hit him!

- Come on. Come on.
- Go! Go!

Man 1: Hit him! Hit him!

Come on! Come on!

[indistinct chatter]

Come on, get in the...

- Whoa! Whoa!
- Whoa!

[indistinct chatter]

Yeah!

They work hard,
they play hard.

Man 1: Yeah!
Man 2: Get up, get up. Hit him.

Man 2: Get up.
Man 1: Hit him! Hit him!

[indistinct chatter]

Man 2: Get up!

Fellas, fellas, break up!

Come on, break it up!

What do you mean?
Just when I got it going my way.

A little too much
for Ms. Jennifer.

She thought you were trying
to kill each other.

Well, it was a, it was a little
friendly dispute.

What about?

Well, well, he said something

and then, uh,
and I said something, and, uh...

Well, to tell you the truth
I don't really remember.

Now that's what I figured.

You know, ever since Betsy left,
we've been letting down

on our manners, boys.

Well, maybe you're right.

What have you got in mind?

Well, more washing up
for one thing.

We wash on Saturdays.

We're gonna wash on
Tuesdays too.

And I'mma learn you
sample table.

'Cause you're awful.

Just try to act human.

At least for a week or so

till she gets used to us.

Alright, alright.

Don't worry about a thing.

I've seen miles and miles
of Shiloh

and I can't begin to think
I've seen it all.

Well, Virginian seems to have
done a thorough job.

At the cabin
where you first settled

I saw a friend of mine.

- Oh.
Jennifer: Johnny Bradford.

He was on the stagecoach
with me.

He was on his way
to meet some relatives,

but when he got there,
well, it just didn't work out.

Well, that's too bad.

He needs a job.

Johnny's not like
an ordinary cowhand.

He's-- he's a real gentleman.

He helped me.

He made me feel less lonely,
less, less terrified

to meet a strange place,
strange people.

The Virginian said
that he couldn't use him, but...

Well...

I, I did say
we'd do anything for you.

- Oh, I'm not trying to--
- No, no, no, no.

Your impulse is right.

Lend a good man a helping hand.

Thank you.

[instrumental music]

Order the wire and cut the post
next week, judge.

Good.

Jennifer seems to
have enjoyed her outing.

Understand she ran into
a friend of hers?

- Bradford?
- How did he strike you?

Seemed pleasant enough,
if that's what you mean.

Looking for a job, wasn't he?

Yeah, I told him we couldn't use
another hand right now.

Well, uh, I don't like to
question your decisions, but...

I guess we can find something
for him to do.

Thanks.

[instrumental music]

Is that a calf?

Newborn.

Mother either drifted off
or died.

- I brought him back.
Jennifer: Will he live?

I think so.
We'll give him to another cow.

To another?
What do you mean?

Well, cattle take the change
alright.

A cow doesn't mind nursing
somebody else's calf,

they're not like humans.

Do you believe everybody is
mean and selfish?

Well, I've been on my own
most of my life.

I've run into
all kinds of people.

You know what
they're involved with?

Themselves,
and everybody else is dirt.

What do you want, Johnny?

Warmth of the sun,

never to be cold or hungry,

I don't ever wanna be
stepped on.

Him and me,
we'll be fine.

Hey, I never thanked you.

I know you got me this job.

Well, I never thanked you
for the crystal you gave me.

I only gave it to you because
I could see you understood.

I'll be seeing you,
Ms. Jennifer.

[instrumental music]

- Hello, boys.
- Good evenin', judge.

[knocking]

- Evening.
- Judge.

Well... [clears throat]

Say how is Bradford
working out?

Well, Ms. Jennifer was right.
He's a good man to have around.

Doesn't say much,
keeps to himself,

but he works as if
his life depended on it.

I suppose everybody's getting
ready for the dance.

Ah, wouldn't miss it
for anything.

They've got a new fiddler coming
in from Coldwater.

You're going, judge?

Oh, I'm afraid not.

I've got some accounts to, uh,
finish up.

Mm. What about Ms. Jennifer?

Oh, uh, just now
she's up in her room I think.

She's reading a book.

Yeah.

She's reading.

Well, have a good time,
all of you.

Have a good time.

Trampas: Then I said to Melissa,

"Why can't you go to dance
with me?

Where are you gonna find
anybody better?"

You sure are modest, Trampas.

Then I said, "Melissa, and I'm
the only one that can show you

the best time of all
after the dance."

You can, huh?
How're you gonna do that?

You ain't got any money.

It's me Melissa loves,
not my money.

Mighty big talker like Trampas

can get by on a mighty slim
billfold sometimes.

No, no. I'm not gonna get mad.
I feel too good tonight.

And nobody's gonna spoil my
first rate good humor, nobody.

I don't see you gettin' ready
to go to the dance, Johnny.

No sense goin'.
I, I don't know anybody in town.

Well, Trampas can introduce you
to just about everybody.

Everybody who's anybody.

Thanks,
but I'll sit this one out.

Now that's a shame.

This makes one less.

One less?

To choose from.

Uh-oh.

I wouldn't want to impose
on your good time, Trampas.

Oh, I know you wouldn't.

But, uh, I was hopin'
one of you fellas

would come up with a suggestion.

For what?

Well, I was just wonderin'
if you boys thought it was fair.

What?

Here we are, all gettin' ready
to go to the dance,

Ms. Jennifer's sittin'
all by herself

up in her room readin' a book.

Six long,

one short.

[instrumental music]

Oh!

[clears throat]
After you, Randy.

I lost Melissa.

I'll be proud to take
Ms. Jennifer to the dance.

- You?
- Anything wrong with that?

No, I, I just thought
you weren't goin'.

I wasn't, by myself.

But if I can take
a pretty young lady...

I don't get it though.

Why didn't any of you
want to take her?

Well, it's not that
we didn't want to...

It'd be like taking Betsy.

He means she's family, Johnny.

Now, you take your sister,
your cousin to a dance

and what happens?
They dance.

You have yourself
a good time tonight, you hear?

I will.

I'm not family.

[applauding]

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental music]

Penny for your thoughts.

Oh. Oh, they're not worth it
to you.

You were thousands of
miles away.

A town called Boston?

I, I guess I put my foot in,
huh? I'm sorry.

Oh, it's not your fault,
it's... [sighs]

It's just that I was remembering
the last dance I went to.

I went with my father.
Most of the girls did.

But papa was the most handsomest
of them all!

Every girl in the place
was jealous.

He must've been a wonderful man.

Oh, he was.
Oh, he had his faults too.

You don't have to remember
those,

not with all those good things
to remember.

Johnny...

Johnny, I think it's wonderful
the way you've been on your own

since you were eleven.

I was the scariest kid
you ever saw.

But you're not scared now.

No, I, I learned how to get over
being scared.

[instrumental music]

Hey, that's a waltz.

I know how to do that.

[chuckles]

[clears throat]

Oh, Emmett, you just get here?

I never get to dances on time.

Oh, you haven't missed it all.

[instrumental music]

Who's that dancing
with the judge's niece?

Virginian: New man we took on.
Name of Johnny Bradford.

Where is he from?

I don't know.

This is a dance, Emmett.

You don't have to be sheriff
24 hours a day.

Sheriff, uh, friend
with the Virginian?

It seems he's friendly
with everybody in Shiloh.

[music continues]

How long has he, uh, how long
has he been at Shiloh?

Yeah, I know, it's a
business-like question.

A few days.

Ms. Jennifer met him
on the stage.

When he showed up later,
we put him to work.

She came in last Tuesday, right?

I'm sorry but I've to ask,

I guess you haven't heard there
was a killing in Tylerville.

A man was killed in a warehouse.

Killer got away.

[inhales] Well, I'll shake off
the sheriff business.

I'll dance with judge's niece.

Good.

Uh, Ms. Jennifer.

Oh, good evening, sheriff.

?his is Johnny Bradford.

- Sheriff.
- How are you?

I was wondering if I may
have the next dance.

Uh, she promised it to me.

But I, uh, believe in being
friendly with the law.

Thank you.

[instrumental music]

How many times have I stepped
on your toes?

Oh, you haven't at all.

Oh...

You're not a very good liar.

But I-- I can't compete
with Mr. Bradford over there.

Of course he's got advantage.
Coming from the East, you know.

Johnny? Oh, he isn't
from the East.

I thought you two came in
on the same stage.

Yes, but he didn't get on
till Wyoming.

Tylerville, I think it was.

Oh.

[music continues]

[indistinct chatter]

Ho, ho.

[instrumental music]

It was a lovely evening.

Thanks for taking me.

Thank you, Ms. Jennifer.

[music continues]

[piano music]

[music continues]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to disturb you.

Oh, it's nice to hear the piano
being played again.

Did Betsy play?

Sometimes.

Not very well, I'm afraid.

But enthusiastically.

I'm quite fond of this piece.

- They played it at the dance.
- Uh-huh.

Did you have a good time?

What's disturbing you?
Something between us.

It's too late to do anything
about it now.

Why? We can talk about it.

What good would it do?

Well, we can try.

It's no use.

You hated my father.
You disapproved of him.

You did everything you could to
stop mama from marrying him.

I can't forget that.

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

[sobbing]

[music continues]

Well...

I was wonderin' when
you decide to come back.

Seems we're runnin'
out of money.

No, I-- I made it just quick
as I could.

What did you find out
in Tylerville?

Well, the dead man was
a bounty hunter.

Oh.

That means the killer must've
been wanted in the first place.

Emmett: Anybody see him?

Hell, a young stranger walked in
the saloon about noon.

Walked out about quarter one.

Bounty hunter was shot
a short while later.

Uh... anybody ever see
the young stranger after that?

A stagecoach pulled out
at half past one.

- He was on it.
- Oh.

Did you get a description?

About as good's you usually get.

Wasn't tall, wasn't short,
you know.

But the bartender says
he'd know him in a minute.

Alright. We might have to
take him up on that.

I got a wire from Cheyenne
this morning.

A young killer's wanted
there too.

And no proof
they're the same man.

No.

No proof that the young man in
Tylerville is the killer either.

I'm gonna ride out
to the Shiloh ranch.

I wanna ask that new man
few questions.

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

Looks like you're buildin'
a waterin' place.

You know, Emmett, that's what
makes you such a good sheriff.

You keep your eyes open.

I like to talk with Bradford.

Where is he?

I saw him chasin' a stray
a while ago.

Alright.

Come on, put your back in it,
fellas.

Quit that horsin' around.
Trampas!

[instrumental music]

What do you say, Bradford?

Morning, sheriff.

Uh, looks like you're caught up
with the stray, huh?

Always do.

I guess they kinda like me.

You worked much on a ranch,
Bradford?

Some.

You worked in Tylerville?

No.

But you were there.

Sure.

Ms. Jennifer must've told you
that's where I got on the stage.

Why are you askin', sheriff?

Man got killed in Tylerville,
Bradford.

The day you boarded the stage.

Who was the dead man?

He was a bounty hunter.

Well, I guess
they take their chances,

they know what they're doing.

I got no respect
for bounty hunters,

Bradford, same as you,
but I don't like to see 'em dead

from a back-shooting.

I don't like to see
anybody dead.

But you were there in Tylerville
at the time of the murder.

Must've been hundreds of people
around.

You don't think I, I did it.

No, no, I haven't said that.

Listen, I, I've been in trouble
before.

But it wasn't my fault.

You gotta believe me, sheriff.
I'm-- I'm unlucky that way.

People always single me out.

Eh, but I'm not doing that,
Bradford.

I just want you to take a ride
with me into town.

What for?

We'll talk in my office.

You're not gonna get in trouble,
Bradford, if you're innocent.

I'm just gonna send for the
Tylerville bartender

to take a look at you.

Alright, sheriff.

I was in that saloon.
I admit that.

What difference does it make?

Well, where were you

between the time
you left the saloon

and the time
you boarded the stage?

Walkin' around.
I don't remember.

Alright, Bradford, let's go on
in to the office.

Maybe you'll remember better
there.

[dramatic music]

Alright.

[gun fire]

[horse neighing]

[music continues]

Don't be a fool, Bradford.

[gun fire]

[gun fire]

[music continues]

[gunshot]

[instrumental music]

It's Ryker's horse.

You alright, Emmett?

- Uh, it's just a scratch.
- What happened?

Bradford shot me
and he took off.

He figured I was dead I guess.

Why'd he do a thing
like that for?

- He's a killer, that's why.
- Killer?

Yeah, I wasn't sure at first,
but

guess there's nothin' much
to doubt now.

Let's find him.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

Jennifer.

Johnny.

Johnny, what happened?

Oh, I got careless.
Had me an accident.

- I'll get my uncle.
- Oh, no, no, no.

Don't, uh, call anybody.

I want you to help me. Just you.

We're outsiders.
We know what it's like.

Rest of them may,
they don't understand.

But you're hurt,
you need a doctor.

I'll be alright
if you just do as I say.

All I need is a place where,
where nobody can find me.

- Except you.
- Why, Johnny?

You're in trouble, aren't you?

No.

Somebody shot you. Who?

There's no time to tell you now,
Jennifer.

But believe me, what I did
wasn't wrong.

- You do believe me?
- Yes.

Alright.

Remember that deserted cabin
in the hills?

You meet me there after dark.
Bring some whiskey and a knife.

But how will you get there
with your arm like that?

I'll make it alright if I,
If I know you're coming.

- Are you?
- Yes, of course.

And you won't tell anyone.

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

[sighs] Candle, huh?

You thought of everything.

Hope you didn't forget
the whiskey and the knife.

[exhales heavily]

You're a good girl, Jennifer.
Yes, sir.

I knew what I was doing when
I followed you to Shiloh.

You followed me?

Sure, I was going no place

just away from Tylerville.

You-- you were going to your
relatives.

Well, I, I didn't get there.

Figured I'd be better off
at Shiloh.

I, I don't understand.

I thought you just
happened to come here

not because of me.

Johnny, who shot you?

It'll be easier to tell you once
we get this bullet out.

[dramatic music]

There.

Don't be afraid.

Johnny: When you were
a little girl,

didn't you ever wanna be
a nurse, huh?

I can't get the bullet out
by myself.

You're the only one
who can help me.

I'll tell you how.

- I can't.
- Of course, you can.

Johnny: You'll do it.

[dramatic music]

It got too dark. We had to give
up the search for tonight.

How badly did you wound him?

Uh, not sure.

It's hard to believe Johnny's
such a desperate man.

He murdered a bartender
in Cheyenne.

Uh, because he made him wait
before he served him.

He, uh, he shot a couple
he worked for.

Because the farmer said he, he
had to wait for two weeks

before he paid him,
that's two weeks.

Emmett: He shot 'em both.

Thank you for the coffee, judge.

If anything we can do,
you let us know.

Yeah, I'll do that.

I'm gonna start the search again
first thing tomorrow.

Emmett: I expect we'll find him
around here somewhere.

Why'd you think that?

I mean, wounded as bad
as I think he is,

he-- he couldn't have gone far
on foot.

I picked up his horse.

I'm much obliged to you
for finding me in that gulch.

[sighs]

You know what I'm thinking,
judge. I guess we all are.

How's Ms. Jennifer gonna
take this.

Bein' as she was
Johnny's friend.

She's never gonna believe
he's a killer.

Goodnight, judge, we'll see you
in the morning.

- Goodnight, judge.
- Goodnight.

[instrumental music]

You ever need a reference
as a nurse, you let me know.

[sighs] Please don't joke now.

You did a fine job, Jennifer.

Didn't get faint or nothing.

What you did for me tonight

almost changed my mind
about people.

Almost, but, I can't forget
the years of doing without.

You weren't the only one
that had to do without.

[sighs] We lived
in two tiny rooms.

All the windows
faced a dark shaft.

First of the month,
papa was always out of a job.

He wanted so much for us.

I know that, but...

Well, he just wasn't
able to give it to us.

Nobody ever gave me anything.

Or wanted to.

I had to fight for what I got.

Johnny, how were you hurt?

Gettin' away from the sheriff.

Johnny: Bullet you took out
of my arm was his.

Your uncle's friend.

You must've done something.

I was in Tylerville the day
a bounty hunter got killed.

He didn't shoot you
just because of that.

He suspected me and I got angry.

Why?

'Cause all my life they've been
doin' that to me.

Pushing me, taking advantage.

A farmer I worked for,
worked real hard.

I went up for my pay.

He says,
"I ain't payin' you, kid."

Bartender.
He threw me out of his saloon.

He said I was trash.

And then the sheriff,
he leaned on me.

I got angry.

And then he thought for sure
I was guilty.

And he fired.

It's gettin' late.

You better go back to the house.

Your uncle might miss you
and start lookin'.

I can't leave you alone.

Sure, until morning.

I'll bring food.

More important I, uh,
if I'm gonna get away

I, I need some money.

- I don't have any.
- Your uncle has plenty.

- Johnny.
- Well, he can spare it.

I'm not going to steal.

Borrow.
I could pay him back.

You feel obligated to him?

Where was he
when you were doing without?

I'll tell you where he was.

He was right here building a
cattle empire at Shiloh.

And when your folks died,
he sent for you, out of pity.

If what I'm asking you to do
bothers you,

just remember, all the sheriff

had against me is what
you told him.

What I...

You told him I had been
in Tylerville.

But you didn't kill
the bounty hunter.

I did not.

Johnny, you've gotta tell me
the truth.

We're talking about
life and death.

My life, my death.

I've told you the truth.

[intense music]

[intense music]

Jennifer!

Yes?

You're up late.

I went out for a walk, I came in
to see if you were here.

Good.
I, I couldn't sleep either.

We'll keep each other company.

I'm sorry, Uncle Henry,
but I'm tired.

You do look tired.

I, uh, I don't suppose
you've heard about Johnny.

I know this will shock you.

He's a murderer.

Hard to believe.

Why do you believe it?

He shot Ryker because he knew.

Could've killed him.

Maybe he was frightened.

Maybe he was afraid that no one
would listen to him

and believe him.

Jennifer...

You don't have to
worry about me.

I do have to worry about you.
You're in my care.

I shouldn't have come.

I knew we'd never get along.

My mother
didn't speak of you often.

But she must have thought of you

every time papa lost a job
or took a drink!

I thought your father
was doing well.

Your mother's letters all...

You mean, you really
didn't know?

My mother loved my father.

You warned her against him,
she loved him.

She was loyal to him
in spite of his faults.

And that's how you feel
about Bradford?

Are you comparing
your mother's loyalty

with helping this murderer
evade the law?

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

What's the matter, Randy?

Ah, Tilly's got colic.

Give it here.

Easy, Tilly.

Whoa, whoa.

Alright.
Get her on her feet.

- Come on, little girl. Come on.
- Hurry up.

- Up.
- Come on, girl.

Ger her around in circle.

I knew something
like this would happen.

I hope she'll be alright, Randy.

She might if we keep her moving.

We'll get the colic out
of her system

before the foal's born.

If we don't,
they could both die.

Happens like this sometimes.

Horse will get some sand,
dirt in its stomach.

Overeat.

It could be real dangerous at
a time like this.

[horse galloping]

Oh.

Judge, can I, uh,
talk to you a minute?

Yeah.
Anything new on Bradford?

No. No, not yet.

The more I think about it,
the more I'm sure

Bradford's still on Shiloh
somewhere.

Judge, do you think somebody
could be covering up for him?

Who?

Well, the best friend
Bradford had on Shiloh

is your niece.

Does she know about him?

Yeah, I told her last night.

Huh.

You mind if I talk to her?

No, no.

She's outside.
Let's go find her.

[intense music]

Where is Jennifer?

Well, she was right here
a minute ago.

You have any idea
where she went?

Well, I think she went back up
to the house.

What's the matter?

I'm afraid
she's gone to Bradford.

I better go look for her
right now.

We'll ride up into the hills.

I'll take two men and ride down
the Bitter Creek.

I'll wait at the house
in case she comes back.

Coming, Randy?

Harper, you boys
take her outside

where there's more room.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

I was hoping
you'd get here early.

Well, it wasn't easy.

The sheriff came
to see my uncle.

How much money did you get?

I didn't.

What's the matter?
Is he on to you?

I couldn't steal.

I wish you'd give yourself up,
Johnny.

I wish you wouldn't run.

If you're telling me the truth,

you have nothing to be
afraid of.

Don't you see their hands
are itching to hang me?

They don't wanna
listen to truth.

I've gotta get away from here.

You're coming with me.

Don't say you don't wanna go.
Please.

- 'Cause I can make you do it.
- But you wouldn't.

I don't want to, but I have to.
I have to take you with me.

You've done so much for me,
Jennifer.

- You'll do this.
- Why? I don't understand.

They'd kill me. But not you.
They won't hurt you.

Johnny, listen to me.

An innocent man
doesn't have to run.

[exhales]

I'm not innocent.

[gasps]

[intense music]

I told you I couldn't let them
step on me.

I'm not dirt, that
bounty hunter, all he saw in me

was-- was merchandise for him to
deliver and collect a reward.

[horses galloping]

[dramatic music]

Well, you brought company.

[intense music]

Hold it right there!

Randy, get over here!

[horse trotting]

Get down!

Throw that gun over here.

[clatters]

Get her horse.

[music continues]

[horses trotting]

Get up there.

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

[gunshot]

[horse neighs]

- Jennifer, are you alright?
- Yes.

[gasps]
J-- Jennifer.

Yes.

That crystal I gave you...

you catch the sun...

try... to...

try to hold on to it.

[sobs]
I will.

[breathes heavily]

[mellow music]

[music continues]

- Are you alright?
- Yes.

[birds chirping]

I was thinking about Johnny.

He never had any warmth
from another human being.

I was wrong about you.
All of you, Uncle Henry.

I never realized
that Shiloh could be home.

[music continues]

I have something to show you.

She did it without me.

Hard to believe, isn't it?

Sure is a pretty foal, Randy.

[horse snorts]

[instrumental music]

[laughing]

It's just like you. [laughs]

[indistinct chatter]

[snorting]

[music continues]
