All language subtitles for S04E23 - Ride a Cock-Horse to Laramie Cross

[ theme music playing ]

Howdy.

Howdy.

Well, sure glad
I came across
this station.

I've been wanting
a hot cup of coffee
for the last 12 miles.

Help yourself.Thanks.

It's, uh, not good,
but it's hot.

Well, you make up
your mind.

Do you want to buy
that horse or not?

Yes.

Well, don't have
such a long look
on your face.

That's one fine
piece of horseflesh.

I can let you have him
for, uh...

oh, uh, just what
I paid for him-- $45,
American, of course.

MAN:
I will buy it.

Oh, I saw
a cow in the back.

You do not happen
to have some fresh milk

that I can take
with me?

Milk?

Well, I did milk
a little while back.

That's kind of
a rare item
around here.

It'll cost.

MAN:
I am sure it will.
How much?

Oh, uh,

$2 for a pail full

and a dollar
for a pail.

I will take it.

I'll, uh...

Uh, mister?

It's none of
my business, but, uh,

you're sure taking
a beating on those prices.

I know.

Thank you.

But if you need things...

[ whistles ]

You may have
killed him!

Getting shot never
helped a fellow much.

Are you a friend
of his?

No.

Then you'd be wise
to mind your own
business, friend.

Talk!
Where are they?

In...
In the ranch house

of a friend of mine...

about...
about...

15 miles
southwest of here.

Ah!

Fifteen miles
to the southwest.

Let's get there
before we lose him again.

Wait a minute.
Nobody else with him?

No, he was by his self.
I never seen him before.

He come in to buy
a horse and some milk.
Ain't that right, mister?

What's this
all about?

This fellow here stole
a couple of little kids
from their grandpa in Mexico.

He wants them back
safe and sound.

Nobody's seen them?

No, I didn't.
No.

You know, I, uh...

I'm offering
a reward.

Five hundred dollars.

Well, if I'd seen them,
I'd sure be glad
to tell you.

But, uh...

Let's find
the grand-childs, huh?

Yeah.Hey, mister,

what about him?

What about him?

I don't know what to do
about that poor fellow.

I've got to notify
the nearest marshal.

Well, there ain't
no law or even
a town 150 miles.

I'll just have to
bury him, I reckon.

In that case,
I reckon.

Here, I'll give you
a hand. Come on.

Hello.
Anybody home?

Hello in there.

Anybody home?

Hello?

Anybody here?

[ gunshot ]

What the...

Hey, hold on a minute!
I ain't gonna hurt you!

That was a fool
thing to do!

You know you could've
gotten yourself shot
in the bargain?

Uh...

no, uh,

"hablay..."
"hablie" Ingles?

Nothing?

Look, uh,

I'm not gonna
hurt you.

See, I'm, uh...
I'm tired
and I'm hungry.

You, uh, got anything
to eat around here?

Eat? Food? Huh?

Look, uh...

you, uh,
you just sit here
and take it easy,

and I'll go in
and see if I can't

round myself up
something to eat.

I'm hungry.

I'm not gonna
hurt you.

Well, found myself some...

Oh, now, look.
We just went
through all this.

It's loaded again.

Oh, you speak
after all.

Look, do you mind
pointing that
to the side?

Well, it just
might go off
accidentally.

Are you one of them?

One of who?

[ baby crying ]

Is that a baby?

My little
sister, Maria.

Oh.

And, uh,

you're taking care
of her, huh?

And myself.

We'll just wait here
until Uncle Donald
comes back.

Uncle...

Did your uncle go out
to buy himself a horse?

How'd you know
about the horse?

He isn't coming back.

You're lying!
He's our most
faithful servant!

I'm sorry, son.

He's dead?

Now, let go.[ shot fires ]

Oh! Hey![ Maria crying ]

Let go. Let go.

Ow! Ow! Ooh!

Now, look, kid, see...

Now, just a minute!
Just a minute!
Now, look.

Now, what I meant
about being sorry,
I meant it.

But if you ever point
a gun at me again, I'll...

I'll spank your backside
till your teeth rattle!

Don't you dare talk
to me like that!

I am Manuel Garcia Lopez
de Maximillian Vargas!

Oh, yeah.

Well, with a silly
outfit like that on,
you should be a general.

I am.

Well, all right, General,
you sit down here
and you tell me

what you and your sister
are doing out here
in the middle of nowhere.

I won't tell you
anything!Sit!

He lied to us, all right.
Ain't nothin' around here.

The children
are alone now.

They should be
easy to find.

Well, we'd better
find those poor kids.

Alone out here,
they won't last long.

You sound like
a loving father.

I got some kids
of my own someplace.

Both of you
shut up.

Valera, you,
Christy and Jones
come with me.

The rest of you men
go with Johnson.

We'll meet in Timberline
four or five days from now.

By then we should've
found them.

Hyah!

So,

somebody took you away
from your grandpa, huh?

Hmm. Well,
my guess is,

whether you like it
or not, you're about
to be taken back.

I won't go back.

Where are you going?

To Laramie.I see.

It's a nice place
you've got here.

This belongs to
a friend of mine,
Uncle Dom's.

Well, you've better get
to bed before you fall down.

I'm not tired!

I said get to bed!

General.

It's Maria, huh?

Hi.
[ chuckles ]

See the hat?
Cute, huh?[ exclaims ]

Yeah. Hey...

When your brother sleeps,
he really sleeps.

[ babbling ]What?

Well, do you
want to s...

I'll bet you're
hungry, huh?

Now, I didn't shave.

Hi.

Oh.

Are these yours? Hmm?
Is that yours?

Yeah, that's got
to be yours.

Bottle and, uh...
Let me put something in it.

This?

You probably
drink this, huh?

What else
would you drink?

I'll get something for it.
Wait a minute.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Yeah.

No.

Don't burn yourself.

You drink that, huh?

We'll just wait
for that to heat up
a little bit.

Got to wait to get
something in there.

Hi. Hi.

See Trampas's hat?

See? Beep!

Huh?
Like that?

[ bottle rattles ]

Have to put some
milk in there, huh?

Maria, milk
goes in there.

Yeah.

Cow, I...

milk the cow.

Yeah. That ought
to be it.

Old Trampas has got
to find something to
open it up with.

Don't touch that.

No...

There.

There.

Pretty warm.

Good, huh?

Huh?

Oh, boy.
You want some, huh?

I'm just gonna put
a little more in there, see?

There.

Just put this on here.

Ooh, a slippery
little thing.

I'm doing the best
I can for you.

Well, I'll do it.

Wait a minute.
It's almost done.

There.
Yeah, yeah.

Boy. Why, old Trampas
is as good...

good a ma
as you ever had.

Here.
Now try it.

Good, huh?

Where in the blazes
do you think you're going?

You couldn't
make it 200 yards
carrying all this,

let alone
200 miles.

I said we were
going to Laramie.

Well, you won't get there
headed in this direction.

No?

No.

In about 900 miles,
you'll reach San Francisco.

Oh.

Then which way
is it?

Look, Manuel,

do you have any idea
how far 200 miles is?

With Uncle Dom
and the other servants,

until the others
ran away,

we've come over
a thousand miles.

Well, you don't have
Uncle Dom and the other
servants anymore.

You wouldn't
last a day.

If you helped us,
you'd be well paid.

[ babbling ]

Why do you want to
get to Laramie?

Our mother's there?What's she doing there?

After my father died,
my grandfather sent her
back where she came from.

He hates her.

Oh?

And I hate him.

I'd rather die
than go back.

Well, that's exactly
what would happen to you.

Horses coming--
fast.

It's them!

All right, get
behind those bushes.

This way you don't
shoot anybody.

Get down low.

[ Maria crying ]

Keep her quiet.

Got her?Yeah.

Oh. Howdy.

Come on in.

That's what
we plan to do.

Seems we keep running
into each other.

Yeah.

It sure seems
that way, don't it?

You fellas still
looking for those kids?

That's right.

Well, you know,
there are, uh,

nice ways to go
about these things.

You, uh...

You saying you know
something about 'em?

Well, uh...
maybe.

If you know
anything, senor,
you'd better tell us,

or we'll beat it
out of you.

Well, I was hoping
we wouldn't have to
beat on each other.

You see, uh,

I know where
they are.

Well, that's
more like it.

Where?

Well, now,
I'm gonna tell you.

Well, you see,
I want to feel like
I'm doing the right thing.

Uh, I'd just like to
ask a couple questions,
if that's all right.

Make it short.That's right.
Make it real short.

Well, uh,
their granddad--

I mean, I wouldn't want
to turn them over to
the wrong kind of man.

He is called El Supremo.

He rules a very large
section of Mexico.

That good enough for you?

Oh, sure.

I heard how rich he is.

Oh, si.
Very rich.

And important.

Well, I reckon
he's fought

more wars than
I've ever heard about.

You'd better
be running out
of questions.

Yeah, well, I am,
just about.What else?

Well, uh, uh...

like I said, with a kid
you want to feel like
you're doing the right thing.

I reckon that, uh,

the kids want to go
back to their grandpa.

Sure.
Sure, they do.

Oh, they love him.

[ coos ]Don't cry, baby.

They still might
hear you.

Don't sneeze anymore.

Well, uh, uh...
what about their
ma and pa?

They got no pa.

He was hung
for treason.

Well, you can't blame
El Supremofor doing
a thing like that

if he was being betrayed.

And her ma?She's no good.

Run off from her own kids.
Nobody knows where
she is now.

Oh, that's...
that's a terrible thing.

Are you satisfied?

Yeah, just about.

What about the reward?
That still stands?

Five hundred dollars
on delivery.

Hmm. Well, now,
just to be sure,

the boy, he's about
six now, or eight?

Maybe a little
younger.

He was carrying
a shotgun almost
big as him.

Si.With
engraving on it.

A present
from El Supremo.

Well, that does it.
That's him. And a little
baby sister?

Mister,
where are they?

Uh, well,
my wife saw them.

Uh, when I came back
last night, she said

that they were visiting
the Toller place.

That's about 20 miles
due northwest of here.

You know, you fellows
broke up a happy home.

My wife got mad at me. She said
I was asking too many questions.
Ought to mind my own business.

You know how women are.
She up and left with Jennifer.

Twenty miles
northwest, huh?

Yeah. You've got
plenty of time.

My wife said they'd
be there a week.

Hmm.

You boys take a good
look around this place
just to make sure.

I'll get my coat
and go with you.Never mind your coat.

If I don't go with you,
how am I gonna collect
the reward?

Never mind
that either.

You're gonna get it.

We'll bring it to you
on the way back.

I found this.

Oh, thanks.
That's little Jennifer's.

She's always misplacing.

All right,
let's go.

That's a good girl.

Manuel, you and Maria
sit on that porch

while I saddle Buck.

We'd better get moving.

They'll be coming
back soon.Where'd they go?

To a ranch...

that I just made up.

If they ever see you again,
they'll kill you.

I know that.
I must be out
of my mind.

But if you get us there,
you'll be well paid.

Manuel, will you
be quiet?

Do you want to sit here
gabbing, or do you want to
get on the way to Laramie?

You're gonna take us
to Laramie?

Yes.

On one horse.

One horse?

I must be crazy.

I don't even know
how to get you on.

Come on, hon.

Don't touch the reins.
Whoa, son. Whoa, now.

Old Trampas get on.

Whoa, now.

Trampas?

Mr. Trampas.We forgot my shotgun.

Good. You're too young
and stupid for it anyway.

Boy, if the hands
at the ranch could
just see me now.

[ Maria crying ]That's all right.

I'll get you something
to eat pretty soon.

[ horse whinnies ]

Ow!

A woman?

Well, I'm...
I'm sorry.

I couldn't tell
you were a woman.

Well, just forget
that I am.

That should be
pretty easy to do.

Good.Why'd you come sneaking
around like that for?

From the looks of that
busted lock, you don't
belong here yourself.

What do you want?

I'm hungry.

Well, you don't have to
come and steal food.
You can ask for it.

At least, that's
the way it works
where I come from.

Where's that?
Heaven?Oh, boy.

All the trouble I'm in,
I really need this.

Well, then, give me
back my rifle--

I'll take care
of your rifle
for just now.

There's some rabbit stew
on the stove.

Help yourself
and then get.

There's more.

I'm all right.

Looks like you haven't
eaten in a couple days.

Three.

That kid of yours,
is he sleeping or dead?

He's not mine.
Just tired.

[ Maria crying ]

What's that?That's the other one.

You got two kids
out here?

Hi.

Maria.

She needs a change.Don't we all?

This is serious.
You know anything
about kids?

Not a thing, except
I don't like 'em around.

You've had something
to eat. You can leave
anytime you want to.

No. Not right now.
I haven't seen
anything so funny

since the Magic Lantern
show in St. Louis.

Have you been
doing it that way long?

Yeah, and it works.

It, uh, should be
around the bottom.

I know where
it should be.

I'm gonna
slide it down.

Well, any fool can see
that there's something
wrong with it.

The problem is,
there's only one
safety pin.

With this kind of diaper,
you need two.It works with one.

Not this kind!Then you change it.

If this girl
had a lawyer,
she could sue you.

What's wrong with it?

Well, it would
make a better hat
than a diaper.

I said you're welcome
to some rabbit stew.

I don't have time to
stand here and exchange
insults with you.

As a matter of fact,
you'd be a lot better off
if you get out of here.

You get caught with me
and these kids, and you'll
be in a lot of trouble.

"Trouble"?
[ chuckles ]

I was almost hanged
in the last place
I was dealing faro--

hanged or run out
on a rail.

Why?Men, mister. Men.

None of you are
any good for nothing.

Well, I'll admit
your diaper looks
better than mine.

Thought you said
you didn't know
anything about babies.

Well, there are
some things that
anybody knows...

except those that are
just plain stupid.

I'm not stupid.
I'm ignorant.

There's a difference.

Kids still asleep?

The boy's
getting dressed.

Here.

Thanks.

How's the coffee?

Not the worst
ever made.

Well, I'll be leaving soon.
That ought to be a relief.

Sure will be.
Where are you going?

Mm, anyplace, no place.

Well, it's just as well
you get clear of us.

Anybody gets caught
with these kids is...
[ chuckles ]

liable to get
himself shot.

Who are they?

Far as I'm concerned,
just a couple of kids.

Their granddad's
rich and important
in Mexico,

and they'd rather be
with their mother
in Laramie.

So that's what they want.
I got myself stuck
helping them out.

You mean you got yourself
into a fix like this

for a couple of kids
you never saw before?

You could say that.

You don't know any more about
life than changing diapers.

Oh, and you're
so smart.

A girl like you,
stuck out here
in the middle of nowhere.

Hasn't even eaten
in three days.

It may be
another three days,
but I'm still leaving.

Who was asking
you to stay?

Why should I?

Who cares about
a crazy cowboy

and a couple
of spoiled kids?

Right now, nobody,
I guess.

Can I have my rifle?

Sure.

With a disposition
like yours,
you'll need it.

Where's that nice lady?

"Nice lady"?Yes.

You've got
a lot to learn.

She left.

That's a pretty knife.

Think so, Manuel?That's why I said so.

Well,

in the future,

we'll use your knife
to open Maria's
cans of milk.

It's mine now?

It's handier
than a shotgun.

Thank you.

Do you think this is
better for me to have
than a gun?

That's right, Manuel.

Got to get some food
down you and Maria
and get out of here.

My friends don't
call me "Manuel."

They call me "Manny."

I thought you weren't
coming back.I changed my mind.

I think I'll go along
a ways with you.

I told you, I got
enough problems.

You got too many
things on one horse.
That's your main problem.

All right,
let's pack up.Just one minute.

What?

You ain't fooling me.
I want half for helping.

Half of what?Half of whatever you're
gonna get out of it.

Well, that's fine,
'cause that's half
of nothing.

You mean their ma
wouldn't pay something
to get them back?

I'm not doing
this for pay.

And I don't
want you along!

How are you
gonna stop me?
Shoot me?

That's a tempting idea.

[ gunshot ]

Whoa.

Get over here
behind these bushes.
Come on!

Here.Huh?

That shot came from
down in the canyon.

Get over there
out of sight. Go on.Okay.

Ho.

Manny, if I leave you
with Maria,

can you hide her
and not make any noise?

Yes.

No, I'd better not.
It's better for him
to get shot than us.

Come on, sit down.

[ groaning ]

Get...
Get away!

How many?

Two.

Two Ogallala Sioux.

They followed
our wagon.

Last night
they killed my wife.

There's a big
war party behind them.

[ groans ]

[ gunshot ]

[ screams ]

[ gunshot ][ groans ]

Whoa, now.
Whoa, whoa.

Are you all right?
Are you hurt?

I've felt better.

Are you shot?

No.

Oh, God.A horse ran over me.

Oh. Yeah, I saw that.
That wasn't too bad.

That depends whether
my point of view or
the horse's point of view.

But nothing's broken?No.

Yeah, something's broken:

my spirit.

What?

Well, I've been trying to
get rid of you, and you...

you just saved my life.

That kind of think will
tend to make a fellow

feel he's wrong
for once.

"Wrong for once"?
I doubt if you've ever
been right in your life.

Well, you're beginning
to act almost like
a woman.

What do you mean?

You're shaking.

Well, I was scared.

Do you know what
those braves could've
done to our kids?

You see?
You're beginning
to care about them.

Well, they...
they grow on you.

Well, where are our kids?
I mean...

I mean, those kids?

They're where you left us.
They're hidden.
They're all right.

I had to leave them
to help you.Why help me?

Because without you,
they can't do it.

Thanks.

It's a... sorry thing

the way things happen.

We got ourselves
a wagon.

This one? I mean,
where are the people?

Nobody left to use it.

Oh.

Not a chance to get
that horse back.

Your gelding broke
for a harness?

Yes.All right.

We'll hitch him up
to the wagon.

You know, Trampas,
we're gonna make it
to Laramie yet.

Maybe.

What do you mean,
"maybe"?

Well, we just don't
have a bunch of
outlaws behind us.

We've got a whole
Sioux war party.

Well, what are you
so mad about?I'm not...

I'm mad because things
aren't getting any better.
They're getting worse.

Well, we'll get
those children through.

Yes, we will.
We can do it.

We can do it.

[ chuckles ]
We can do it.

I can't sleep.

Well, just do
the best you can.

Would you tell me
a story?

Tell you a story?

That wouldn't do any good.
Just keep you awake.

He means a bedtime story.
That puts him to sleep.

You know one,
Mr. Trampas?

Yeah, sure.

When I was a little girl--
it seems a thousand years ago--

I used to love
those stories.

Did your mother
tell them to you?

No. I never had one...

that I knew of.

But there was
this nice lady
that I lived with

for a couple years,
until I was 12.

What happened to her?

She died.

What'd you do then?

Oh, I went to work

in a mill in Kansas.

Sounds like me.

I didn't think
women did that.

That's how much you know.
No man ever helped me.

I've been making
my way by myself

all my life.

All the way up to being
a faro dealer. That's
pretty earth-shattering.

Is one of you gonna
tell me a story?

Oh, yeah. Well, uh,

let's see, uh...

Well, uh, uh...

Once upon a time
there were some bears.
There was, uh...

Three of 'em.

I know that.

There were three bears.

Uh, and their names
were, uh...

They don't have
any names.

Manuel asked me
to tell him the story.

Well, you're
doing it wrong.

You heard it your way,
I heard it my way.

I'm telling the story.
I'll tell it my way.

Oh!I'm sorry, Manuel.

With all these
interruptions, I'll have
to start all over again.

Uh, let's see.
Uh...

Once upon a time,
there were these
three bears--

a big one,
medium-sized one,
little one.

The medium-sized one
was a girl.

Actually, a woman.
A mother.

And, uh...

And one day,
they all decided
to go off

and, uh...And what?

And, uh, I don't know.
Brand some calves
or something.

That's not important.
And, uh,

anyway, uh,

she got in a lot of trouble.

When they came back,
they got mad at her
and chased her off.

Now go to sleep.He's already
gone to sleep.

Why didn't you
tell me?

I just wanted to see
how it came out.

Hope you liked it.

I'll never forget it.

We're getting some
miles behind us.

What are you
doing back there?

WOMAN:
See for yourself.

[ chuckles ]
Well, General,

you may not
pass inspection,

but you'll pass for
just a normal kid.

They feel all right,
but I don't have no more
stripes on my pants.

That's good.
Why don't you go
back in the wagon

and get a little rest
and keep an eye
on your sister?

Whatever you say,
Mr. Trampas.

I've been taking stock
of what's in the wagon.

I thought this
might interest you.

Oh, I should say!

Been so long since
I've seen one of these,
I was beginning to think

the only bottles in
the whole wide world
were baby bottles.

Uh, I'll save this
for later.

What else is back there?

Oh, nothing much.
Just some blankets
and bedding

and some canned food
and water
and cooking things

and...
and this.

Should I open it?Might as well.

I kind of hate
to do it.

Maybe there'll be
an address in there
that we can write to...

if we ever get ourselves
out of this thing in one piece.

May be something Manuel
or Maria can use.

Oh, look.

It's the family Bible.

It's almost worn out.

There's no address
or anything on it.

Oh, and this--
a picture folder.

Oh. She was
a pretty little thing.

Lots of sheet music.

She must've sang
or played the piano.

[ gasps ]

And this.

Oh, Trampas, this is
the prettiest thing
I've ever seen.

[ reads inscription ]

Hey.[ music box plays ]

I thought you were supposed
to be such a tough faro dealer.

I wasn't even supposed to
notice you're a woman.

Well, I am, but...

this just looks
like her whole life.

Music and love.

It's sad. It's beautiful.

Well, you're right
about one thing-- she was
a pretty little thing.

I wish...

just once...

some... one fellow had
given me something like this.

Keep on acting
like a woman, and...

maybe someday
somebody will.

Do you think...

that just for
a little while
I could wear this?

Do you think
she'd mind?

Oh,

I'm sure she'd be glad
to have you enjoy it.

Oh, there's just
one more thing
in back of the wagon.

It was a keg that's
tied to the side.

I couldn't open it.
I don't know
what's in it.

I guess he was planning
on doing some mining.
It's a keg of gunpowder.

Right next to the children?

It's safe enough,

as long as you don't
kick it around too much.

Get up.

[ horse whinnies ]

Whoa, darling.

Shh!
Be quiet!What is it?

Sioux.
They're coming
right this way.

Keep her noise down.

Shh![ Maria squalls ]

Can you keep her quiet?What do you expect
me to do, strangle her?

Here.
Give her to me.

Since when are you
a bigger expert
with babies than me?

Since right now.
Don't argue. They'll
be here in a few minutes.

You go over there
and take care of Manuel
in case he wakes up.

[ Maria cooing ]

Shh!

Yeah, yeah.

[ hoof beats ]

It's all right.

They're gone.

Well, how did you...
How did you quiet
her down so fast?

I, uh, just sort of...

talked her into it,
talked her into it.

You're a remarkable man.

No. Nothing like that.

[ Maria hiccups ]

Not very.

We're in trouble.What's the matter?

There's only half
a can of milk left.

How long will that last?Not long.

But we can feed her
crushed food and water
for a while.

Well, we ought to be
in Timberline by tomorrow.

I'm afraid she's gonna
do a lot of yelling
about it.

Too bad there aren't
any cows around here.

If anything happens
like it did last night,
she could get us scalped.

Get up!

MAN:
What do you
make of it?

Wagon.

Not too big.

If they're in a wagon,
how come we never saw
wagon tracks up until now?

Probably ain't them.

Come from a different way.

That way.

Well, we'll check
'em out anyhow.

Come on.

[ music box playing ]

Oh, that's
a pretty tune.

I've never heard
one prettier.

Well, I'm ready
to pull out.

Those are
the sleeping-est kids.

Well, after what
they've been through...

Maybe we'll make it
to Laramie after all.

[ whistles ]

You like it?
I found it in the trunk.

Yeah. It's...

I was wondering,
do...

do you think
I could keep this?

Sure.

I mean,

it more rightly belongs
to somebody else.

Pretty hard to find out
who that might be.

Now, you go on...
You keep it.

That's almost like
you giving it to me,
isn't it?

Yeah, well, I guess
you could say that.

"Do a darling
wife and mother,
with all my love."

Well, now, that doesn't
quite fit us.

[ chuckles ]
I know.

But, you know,
these days

with Manny and little
Maria and you, it's...

it's been a lot like
we've been our own family.

I've gotten to love them
both so much.

And I'm even getting
so I can stand you.

Yeah, I know
what you mean.

I'm beginning to
feel the same way.

It's... kind of
been like that.

You trying to
say something?

That you like me?

Yeah, I guess
you could say that.

That's for what
you didn't say.

It is?

I never had a man
not say anything

like that to me
before and mean it.

[ Maria crying ]

Whoa!

You fellows gave me
kind of a scare.

Well, so we
meet again.

Who have you got
in the wagon?

Just my wife
and two kids.

Luka, go drag out the kids.

[ gunshot ]

Nobody's gonna drag
my children no place.
Who do you think you are?

I should've warned you
about my wife.
She's got a temper.

Don't push me, lady.

You're not gonna drag
our kids around.

Now, uh, let's talk
about this thing reasonably.

We've got two guns
on you.

Three, Dad.

That's good, Pete.

Now, if shooting starts,
a lot of people are
gonna get hurt.

And you're gonna be
the first one to get a bullet
right above your belt buckle.

The kid we're looking for
is wearing a uniform.

All right, Pete,
you go back in there

and take care of
your brother, huh?

Yes, Dad.Go on.

Anybody fools with our kids,
and they're gonna get
themselves shot up.

Now, Ma, you get
up here in the wagon.

And watch that temper
of yours, huh?

I've always admired
sprightly ladies.

We'll let you get
on your way.

Get up!

How'd I do?

You did just fine,
Manny, just fine.

That's the first time
you ever called me "Manny."

Well, when a fellow
acts that way,

you'd better address him
the way he wants.

Come on, son.

Where was the shot?

You're wasting your time
riding over here.What do you mean?

We stopped the wagon
with a family in it.

The hellcat of a woman
took a shot at Luka.

How many in the family?

Him and his wife,
two kids.Two?

Stop yelling.
Lots of families
got two kids.

It wasn't them.
The kid wasn't
in uniform.

Besides that,
he spoke perfect English.

You fool. He's as
American as you.

Get up!

[ whistling ]
Get up! Get up!

Whoa.

What's the matter?

There's heavy dust
on the horizon.
Wait here.

[ native language ]

By the hills!

What were those shots?I don't know.

What should we do?

Trampas said to wait.
We'll wait.

[ whooping ]

What in the world's
happening over there?

A bunch of outlaws
ran into a Sioux
war party.

I don't think they're
doing too well.

Manny, you get back
with Maria.

Come on, son.
Get up!

Whoa.

Timberline.

Last stop before Laramie.[ gasps ]
Trampas!

I guess he was alone,
but let's get out
of here anyway.

[ whistles ]

Do you think we should
all go into Timberline?

No. Pull of down
the road a ways,

and I'll go in alone.

Barring any trouble,
I should be back
by nightfall.

Well, just don't forget
the canned milk.

We can do without
almost anything else.

Except you.
Be careful.

Good day there, stranger.
What can I do you out of?

Well, a couple of things.

You name it,
we've got it.

Let's see. Uh...

a side of bacon.

Bacon.

And, uh, five
pounds of beans.

Mm-hmm.

A pound of coffee.

Oh, yeah.
Uh, the most
important thing--

about six cans
of canned milk.

Uh-huh.
There's your bacon.Thanks.

I'll have the rest
of these items in
less than a jiffy.

You just
passing through?

Yeah.

Headed north, I hope.

Why?

Well, there's Indian trouble
the other direction.

But between here
and Laramie,

it's as peaceful
as a Sunday school.

You traveling alone?Yeah.

Got a sweet tooth.

Oh.

Are you sure you need
all this milk?

That'll milk up
an awful lot
of coffee.

I'm sure.

Well, all right.

Let's see if I've
got everything now.

Bacon, beans, coffee.

Let's see.
That'll be $2.18.

In God we trust,
but all others
pay cash.

Thank you.Thanks.

You all right?Yes.

Good night, Manny.

Good night, Mr. Trampas.

He's a very brave,
very tired little boy.

Well, you're
a very good mother.

Well, I do
the best I can,

for an old,
broken-down faro dealer.

I don't know why I was
so spooked about leaving you,

but I was afraid some of
our friends might be waiting
for us in Timberline.

But they weren't there?

No, and I'm sure glad.

I've done enough fighting
right now to last me
for a lifetime.

Sounds like the right time

for a man to think about
settling down.

You think you could
support me dealing faro?

Probably better than you could
support us as a cowboy.

You're forgetting something.

I'm a rare breed
of a cowboy.

I can take care of a baby.

How much more will that get you
at the end of the month?

A regular salary,

plus a baby's gratitude.

I got the feeling we'd
better get out of here.

Up, son. Come on.

Ho! Anybody here?

Good evening.

Usually I'm not
open this late.
Just taking inventory.

But I'd be glad
to be of service.

We're not buying.Oh?

We're looking for
some friends of mine.

Five of 'em.

Well, I don't think
you'll find them here
in Timberline.

There haven't been any
strangers around here
for the past ten days.

Now, you think, mister.

Think hard about
the past two days, hmm?

Oh, that's easy.
Only one.

Anybody with him?

No.No kids?

No, sir. He was
all by himself.

All right, let's
get out of here.

Except it was
kind of funny.

What was funny?Uh, uh, well,
I mean

that it was kind of funny
that he bought so much
canned milk.

Usually
it's only a man

with a family
that does that.

Now, uh,

just what else do you
know about this fellow?

Oh-Oh, I...
Nothing, really.

Nothing much, only...

he was kind of young

and tall
and sandy-haired,

and he had
a sweet tooth.

[ Maria crying ]

I'll go take care of her.

[ whistles, shouts ]

Whoa! Whoa.

We ain't gonna be able to
outrun them in this wagon.

Manny!

Manny?

I'm gonna have to
borrow your knife.What can I do?

Climb back in the wagon
and get it out of here.Oh, no, I'm staying here.

Me too.

Look, Manny,
even generals have
to take orders.

Now I'm giving you one.
You get back in the wagon
with Maria

and wait for me
up on the road.

Here. Let me take
this from you.
Go on, get!

[ all laughing ]

Well, Manny?

Just a little way, Manny.
Just a couple more miles,

and then your mother's
going to be the happiest
woman in Laramie.

She's a very lucky person
to have two children

like you and Maria.

Don't you have
any children?

No. I'm not married.

Why don't you marry Trampas?

Well, it's... not
as simple as that.

Why not?

Well, you don't
just meet someone

and up and get married.

Why not?

Well, you've got to
know someone

for a long time before you know
what they're really like.

I know what you're like,
and I haven't known you
for a long time.

Now, that's enough
out of you.

You'd better get back there
and get your sister ready.

Can I have your locket?
Maria likes to play with it.

Yes, darling.

Okay, pard.

Oh. [ whistles ]
My hat.

That fellow's got
a real head on his shoulders.

WOMAN: Now?That's a fine idea.

WOMAN:
Don't you start.
Uh, wait a minute.

Trampas, I want to
tell you something,
and, uh,

I mean, there may not
be time once we get
to Laramie.

You've given me
something,

you and the children,

something that nobody's
ever given me before,

something every woman
dreams of--

to be treated like a lady,

to be needed,

to be loved.

I've lived more
in this past week than...

I have all the rest
of my life.

But it's over now,

and you'll be back
with your friends soon,

back to your
way of life.

There's no place for me here,

but I want you to know
that wherever I go,

I'll never forget you.

I'm a different person
since I met you,

and I love you for it.

Now, you just
hold on a minute.

If you think you're just
gonna run off on me,
you're just plain loco.

I didn't take care of you
the last 200 miles

so you could
just say goodbye.

Took care of me?

Why... Why, it was me
that kept this family
together.

If it hadn't been for me,
there's no telling what
might've happened to you.

As a matter of fact,
I don't know what you did
at all until you met me.

Neither do I.

I'll tell you what
I'm gonna do.

You go on
into Laramie.

You find yourself
a place and move in.

I guess Manny's
mother would be

mighty glad if you
stayed with her.

I'll go back
to the ranch.

Should've been there
a long time ago.

Place is probably
all messed up
without me anyway.

And I'll come back
and pick you up Saturday.

We're going to a dance.

Oh, uh, those friends
of mine you spoke of--

I want you
to meet them.
You'd like them.

And I'll be mighty glad
to show you off.

I'm counting on you
to be there.

I'll be there.

[ Maria cooing ]

Manny?

Uh, I'm gonna have to
leave you for a while.

Now, you be a good boy,
you hear? Take care
of your little sister.

I'll see you again Saturday.

For sure?For sure, pard.

I've got myself a date.
