[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Beer.

Talkin' of the devil.

Appears more like
he's lookin' for you.

I didn't expect to find him
until I got to Medicine Bow,
at that Shiloh Ranch.

Strange how you take
a thing like a drink for granted
till you can't have one.

Same way with a gun.
You never miss it
till someone takes it away.

Five years is a long time
not to wear one of these.

I feel like
a new man already.

You sure you don't want to
stay around here for a while?

Seemed like a nice,
friendly town.

Nice, friendly bank
cross the street.

You know what I gotta do.

- [ Clears Throat ]
Like you did five years ago.
- It was different then.

Do you think
five years in prison
made you any tougher?

I'll tell you the difference
tween now and then.

Then there was three of us.
You and me-- we was lucky.
We served our time.

Now we're free to go
anywhere we want.

But there ain't nothin'
gonna free your brother
from that ground.

Not nothin'. [ Door Closes ]

[ Coin Clinks ]

Liz.

Well, looks like
you're about to open up
your own dress shop.

A girl has to have
something to wear.Here.

[ Whistles ]

Direct from Paris.
[ Chuckles ] Well, I hope
the livestock like it.

There are other things
in this life besides cattle.Hmm.

Try to tell
your uncle that.Well, that'll be easy.

He'll see me in my new clothes
and know I'm right.

Wish you were
going back with me.

Yeah. So do I,
but I can't.

That new part we ordered
for the hay baler
hasn't come in yet,

and the foreman wants me
to inspect it personally before
I lay out any Shiloh cash.

How long will it be?Well, the man said
a day or two, maybe longer.

Why don't you
stay on here?

Uh, yeah,
I know this town doesn't
have much to offer...

except parts
for hay balers, but--

And the best dressmaker
in the territory.

Then you're staying.No, I'll go on.

Mmm. You know, sometimes
the company on these
stagecoaches is pretty rank.

Maybe you'd better stay here.Stop treating me
like a father hen.

I'm a big girl now.That's what bothers me.

[ Grunts ]

[ Clears Throat ]

Here.

[ Horse Blusters ]

He's sure tame enough.
Wouldn't have bothered me any
to have shot him.

Won't bother me
much now either.

Now's just a little late.
Like your dad always said,
better late than never.

Just wasn't able
to shoot a man
in cold blood... then.

So, instead, he walks in,
sees us robbing the bank
and killed your brother.

Won't you ever let up?
How many times
I have to tell you?

I was just supposed to be
standing watch.

You were supposed to keep
anybody from comin' in.

I came back to that bank
after I heard those shots.

I could see
my brother was lying
dead on the floor,

you had your hands
in the air, and he--

Trampas-- he had his gun
still smokin'.

Well, I didn't know
what to do.
I just ran.

It wasn't till that posse
caught up with me
that I started to think...

about that man
who killed my brother.

For five years,
you ain't let me do anything
but think about him.

I don't think it's right
to walk away from a man
who's killed your kin.

Stop it.
I'll be able to
take care of him now.

[ Carriage Departing ]There goes the stagecoach.

You sure have got
a killer instinct.

[ Chuckles ]

I got a feelin' Trampas
is gonna die with old age.

I didn't plan it for here.

They stop to water the horses
a few hours out of town.

When they do,
I'll be there, waitin'.

Suppose he don't
get out of the stage.

You just gonna walk up
and stick that rifle
in the window?

Trampas is fast.
Ask your brother.

Then I'll follow him.

He's gotta get off that stage
sooner or later.

And when he does,
I'm gonna kill him.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Water Trickling ]

[ Galloping Hooves Approaching ]

[ Rifle Cocks ]

Can someone help me?

Something's happened
to my eyes.

Is someone there?

Are you all right?

You'll have to tell me.
I can't see.

- Yeah, I'm all right.
- How are the others?

They're dead.

Where's--

How many were
on that stage with you?

Two, besides me.
And the driver.

There must have been
another one.

- No.
- Yes.

I saw you headin'
for the stage
with somebody in Hanna.

- You must mean Trampas.
- Well, whatever his name was.

He stayed behind.

My head's bleeding.

This Trampas--
he your husband?

No. He works for my uncle
at Shiloh Ranch.

He shouldn't have
let you travel alone.

He wanted me
to stay in Hanna,
but I wouldn't listen.

I wish I had.

Yeah, well,
you wish all you want.
You're here now.

This is gonna hurt
a little bit. I'm puttin'
some whiskey on this.

They say good whiskey
can cure anything.

Ah, it wasn't bleedin'
so bad.

[ Shivers ]

Thank you.

Could you tell me,
are we closer to Hanna
or Medicine Bow?

About midway.

Ten miles
in either direction.

Could you take me
to Medicine Bow?

I can't take you
anywhere.

But I need help.

Where are you going?
You can't just leave me here.

I can't see where I'm going.

If it's money you want,
I'll be glad to pay you.

Please!

If you take me to Shiloh,
you won't be sorry.

Please, just don't leave me
out here by myself.

I don't know where I am.

I'm begging you!
Don't leave me alone.

Did you say your uncle
owns Shiloh?

Yes. And I can
get money there.

If you need a place to stay,
you'd be made welcome.

Give me your hand.

[ Footsteps Approaching ]

You're over
six hours late.

Is Elizabeth all right?She didn't get in.

Well, what's that
supposed to mean?

Caleb Johnson came
riding into town with the team
from the Hanna stage.

Said he found them grazing
about a mile from
the stage watering stop.

What about the stage?He went back up
the road a ways.

The stage was there--
halfway down the mountainside.

And Elizabeth was--

He-- He couldn't get down
close enough to check.

He said it looked like
everybody was dead though.

Some people from town have
gone out to bring in the bodies.

I thought we should
head out there by ourselves,
not waste any time.

Yeah. Uh, g-get some
provisions together.

A-A--
Get medical supplies.

[ Clopping Hooves ]

I don't think I can
hold on much longer.You haven't got much choice.

It's just
that I'm tired.

Maybe we should have
stayed on the road.

I told you before.
This is a shortcut.

But somebody may come
looking for us.

Lot of good that'd do me.
How would I get my money?

I'd see that you got it.

Yeah, well,
this way I'll make sure.

Besides, if I bring you back
to Shiloh myself,
I might get more money.

You'd be paid...
well either way.
I give you my word.

You ever try eatin' words,

payin' off a mortgage
or buyin' seed with them?

Well, if you have,
you know what they're worth.

I went up the road a ways,
but I couldn't find any tracks.
You have any luck?

No luck at all.

She was on the stage,
all right.
Her suitcase is down there.

Well, at least
it's a good sign.

What do you mean
by that?

Well, she walked away
from it.Yeah, but where?

How far?
She's out there somewhere,

alone, afraid,

maybe helpless.

Let's go.

[ Wind Blowing ]

[ Sighs ]

I thought you said
you was hungry.

I can't.

Maybe you just ain't used to
beans and hardtack.

A lot of times
I go up on the range
with my uncle.

That's all we have then.

Well, that's all you got now,
so you better eat it.

What are these
mountains called?Medicine Bow Mountains.

You ever been in 'em before?

Not too far.
I was always afraid
of getting lost.

- I can see why.
- Are we lost now?

I didn't say that.

No.

We'll be startin' down
the other side
of the stage road soon,

and then on to Shiloh.

- Then you should be able to
see the peak from here.
- What?

A peak that rises high
above all the others.

I can see it
from my bedroom window,
far in the distance.

Can you see it?

Is it there?
Tell me!

Yes!

Now eat.

I want to start before dark.

What is it like?

The peak.
I've never seen it
from this side.

Well, what do you think
it's like?

Dark and ugly.

To me,
it was always beautiful.

Yeah, that's 'cause you were
looking at it from
your bedroom window,

where it was warm and safe.

Try cuttin' out
a living from it,
feeding a family.

Have you?

- On land just as bad.
Me and my father before me.
- But mountains are different.

No. A man can't live
off the land,
what good is it?

Mountains are to look at--

to see them
covered with snow
in the winter,

turning green in the summer.

[ Weeping ]
To see the sun
setting behind them,

to see them reach to the sky.

Oh!

Stop that and get up.

Nobody wants to be blind.
You think you're the only one
something's happened to?

You're alive.

I had a brother,
not much older than you.
He's dead now.

Don't you think he'd like
to look at the sky...

and watch mountains,
feel the wind?

Do you think that made
any difference when they
buried him in the ground?

Don't expect any pity from me.

- I'm sorry.
- I'm not asking you to be.

But I am.

I'm sorry
about your brother.

What about you?There's more.

Eat up.
We'll be startin' out soon.

I don't know your name.

Ben.

Ben Oakes.

[ David ]
Elizabeth! [ Echoes ]

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

No sign, nothin'.

Even the trail
comes to an end.

She couldn't just disappear.

We don't know for sure
if we're even following her.

No, we don't.
But the tracks
were headin' west.

Well, it just doesn't make
any sense,

her goin'
the opposite direction
from Shiloh.

I know. It's strange.
But if it is Elizabeth,

she's headin' right into
the meanest stretch of mountains
in this whole range.

Let's go.

Ben?

Where are you?

Is something wrong?
Ben?

I'm right here.

Could I get down
and rest?

Yeah. Wait a minute.
I'll help you down.

Come here.

Down.

Uh, we heading down
to Shiloh yet?

Have we much farther
to go?

Is it almost dark?

Ben?Will you stop asking
so many stupid questions?

What difference is it to you
whether it's dark or not?

I'd just like to know.

You'll know
what I tell ya.

You wanna know somethin'--
[ Chuckles ]

we're lost.

We've been riding around
lost for the last hour.
Couldn't you tell?

I had an idea.

Yeah, well,
now that you know,
do you feel better?

Maybe you could describe
where we are.

That's simple.

We're in those mountains
you thought
were so beautiful.

Only from where I stand,
they don't look
beautiful at all.

They look mean enough
to swallow a man.

The peak.

I never saw any peak.But you told me you did.

I was lyin'.Why?

To keep you from
askin' stupid questions,
like you're doing now.

If you left me behind,
maybe you could retrace
your tracks before dark...

and bring somebody back--
somebody who knew the mountains.

And you'd just sit there?
Wouldn't move?

Yes.

And what if I wouldn't
come back, just go my own way?

You wouldn't do that.

You couldn't tell what I was
gonna do if you could see me.

And since we're playing
guessing games,

- I don't think you care
whether you're found or not.
- I do.

I mean, I don't think you care
whether you live or not.

Isn't that so?No!

Isn't that so, Elizabeth?
Isn't it?Well, why should I?

'Cause you got a lot
to live for.

Like what? Being a cripple?
Needing somebody
to take care of me?

[ Sighs ]
Like being a woman.

Some people never have
anything in this life.

[ Scoffs ]
They only get to see
ugliness anyway.

Whatever they try,
they fail.

With you, it's different.

You live in a nice house,
and your uncle's
got a big ranch.

These things won't change
'cause you can't see.

And you're young.
Young and pretty.

One day a man
will come along,

and he'll love you.

Won't make any difference
to him whether
you can see or not.

Don't.Elizabeth. Elizabeth!

[ Screams ]

[ Screams ]

Don't move.

Elizabeth, don't move.

You just wait there.
Wait there.

Now-- Now, reach out
with your left hand.
Reach.

Reach. Reach.

Re-- Oh. Grab back on.
Grab back on.

I'll come down lower.
You just wait. That's okay.
Everything's all right.

Go ahead now.
Reach now. Reach.

There.

That's it.

All right. Slow, slow, slow.
There's no rush.
We're okay. Just--

That's it. Take it easy.
Everything's okay.
Just go slow.

[ Panting ][ Grunting ]

[ Whimpers ]

Whatever you thought
I was going to do,
you were wrong.

Give me your hands.

What's the matter?

[ Ben ]
The scream.
It must have spooked the horse.

It ran away.

Now, Elizabeth's no fool.

She's probably fast asleep
beside a warm fire
right now.

We'll pick up her track
soon as it's light.

And if I know Elizabeth,
we'll more than likely
have to wake her.

You haven't been
in those mountains.

No, I haven't.

About three years back,

some men broke out of
the territorial prison.

Trampas and I
led a posse in there after 'em.

Took us a week.

But you found 'em.

We found 'em all right.

Two had died from the cold,
and...

the third shot himself
to death.

You don't sleep
in those mountains, Dave.

You close your eyes,
but you don't sleep.

Where was that farm?

[ Ben ]Kansas.Do you still have it?

[ Scoffs ]
I never did, really.

Although most of my kin
are buried there.

Seems that when you're poor,
you just die on the land.

You never get to own
more than six feet of it.

If the land's that bad,
why would you want to?

Seems you'd want to leave.

What for?

You do what you have to do,
what you know how to do.

The land's there.
You're a farmer.
You work it.

You plant seeds
in the spring. You harvest
rocks in the fall.

You hope next year
will be better, even if
you know it won't be.

Youleft.

Yeah. After my pop died,
I got to worrying who'd be
left around to bury me.

So, one day,
I just left.

What did you do then?[ Chuckles ]

Got myself a job.

Thought if you worked hard
and kept your nose clean,

you'd get somewhere
in this life.

Should have known better.

All hard work gets you
is more hard work.

It was exactly one year
to the day
that I left the farm...

that I got a letter
from Timmy.

It'd been following me around
for three months.

The letter said,
"Come out west. Join me."

I didn't have anything
holding me.

So I did.

We weren't together
real long.

What was he like?

The best thing to ever
come off that farm.

If you just
got to know Timmy,

even a little bit,

you just couldn't help
but like him.

You had to like him.
Everybody did.

You see, our ma died
when he was 10,

so I kind of
looked after him.

But he hated the farm,
so he left when he was 15.

You must have missed him.

Yeah.

I missed him.

Pa and me--
we never took to talkin'
much to one another.

While Timmy was around,

there were people
always droppin' by.

[ Exhales ]

But after he left,
it seemed nobody
ever came by.

See, I used to take him
to a dance once in a while.

He's still just a kid, but--
[ Chuckles ]

how, uh,
all the girls come
flockin' around.

Well, there I was--

me years older
than him--

but he'd be doin'
all the talkin',

makin'
all the conversation.

How was he killed?

[ Breathing Heavily ]

What difference
does it make?
He's dead.

He's 19, and he's dead.

Ben,

tell me what you look like.

Like a bad dream,
little girl.

Bad dream.

Ben, I can't go on.

You've got to.
You've got to.

If we stop now,
we'll never make it.

I can't--
I can't breathe.All right.

[ Clopping Hooves Approaching ]

[ Virginian ]
Liz!

Well, what'd
the doctor say?

Well, she's, uh,

had some damage
to the optic nerve.

She must have hit her head
when she was
thrown from the coach.

Well, that means
if the nerve heals,
she'll get her sight back.

If it doesn't, then--

She's alive.
That's the important thing.

I, uh,

picked her some flowers.

- You think it'd be all right?
- I'm sure she'll like 'em.

[ Knocking ]Come in.

Elizabeth?

It's me, David.

I brought you some flowers.

Uh, the kind you like.

I picked them up on that hill
you're always going to.

They'll have this room
smelling sweet and pretty
in no time at all.

Thank you.

- Would you like me to put 'em
in some water for you?
- I can.

Oh, no, no, no.
You stay right there.
Now, I can manage-- I think.

You know, the doctor said
you're gonna be just fine.

It might take a little while,
but once that nerve heals,

you're gonna be seein'
just as good as ever.

You know, in medical school,
we had three, four cases
just like this,

and they all turned out fine.

I'm gonna put these
on the table here by your bed.

Now, you'll have to be careful
not to knock 'em over.

I better move this back
just a little.

- Did I ever tell you about that
aunt of mine in Pennsylvania?
- No.

Well, now that I remember,

the same thing happened to her
that's happened to you.

She just woke up one mornin'
and-and couldn't see.

I was about 10 years old
at the time,

and I remember thinkin'
that she was just
bein' punished...

for the way
she used to treat me.

Aunt Ethel was her name,
and-- and she had a face,

well, like the work end
of a straw broom.

My father used to say
that's why she was always
pickin' on everybody.

Well, that and because
she was nearly 30
and never been married.

Well, she couldn't find
anybody in Wales, and...

she hadn't had any better luck
here in America.

Well, anyway, for a while there,
it looked like
she was never gonna see again,

and she began to
get used to it.

She'd, uh, help with the chores,
which included scrubbing my face
at least 10 times a day,

and she'd do her housework
and keep my father in line.

And then one day--

Well, I will never forget it
if I live to be a hundred--

I decided to help myself
to one of her berry pies.

Now, Aunt Ethel baked
the best pies
in all of Pennsylvania.

And I figured she wouldn't
notice one of 'em missing.

Well, I turned around,
and she was standing
right behind me.

If ever eyes could see,
they were in
Aunt Ethel's head...

and lookin' right at me.

I always suspected
she got her sight back
that morning,

and was just waiting
for an opportunity
to catch me at somethin'.

Well, she caught me all right.

And I didn't sit down
for a week.

One thing about Aunt Ethel--
she sure-- sure wasn't much
on sentiment.

Well,

the important thing is
she got her sight back.

And you will too, Elizabeth.

Well, I guess I better be
gettin' back to work now.

If you need anything,
you just holler,

'cause I sure won't be
far away.

David?

Thank you.

[ Door Closes ]

[ Grunts ]

The doctor said
you could have
anything you want.

David's been downstairs,
acting like a French chef.
[ Chuckles ]

Did the doctor also say
you had to feed me?

Oh, I don't intend to.
I figure you're big enough
to feed yourself.

Now, give me your hand.

Now, if you think
of your plate as a clock,
it should be simple for you.

Over here at 12:00
is your vegetable.

Here at 3:00 is your bread.

Down here at 6:00
is your meat.

Over here by your other hand
at 9:00 is your coffee.
Be careful of that.

Now give me
your other hand.

Here's your fork.

Come on, Liz.
Where's your meat?

Oh.

Do you have to keep
looking at me?

I can feel your eyes.

- Just want to be sure
you can eat.
- I'm not hungry.

Come on, honey. Try.

[ Whimpers ]

I can't.
I can't do it.

It's all right.
It's-It's no problem.
It just takes a little time.

Is Ben still here?I think so.

I have to see him
before he goes.

I've got to.I'll go get him for you.

Mighty generous,
giving me a horse
and saddle.

Well, it's the least
we can do.

Elizabeth couldn't have
made it without your help.

Maybe we both couldn't have
made it without yours.

Say, how is it
you didn't stay
on that stage road?

Well, I figured we'd save time
crossing the mountains.

I thought that'd be important
to Elizabeth.

- Well, I guess it doesn't take
much to get lost up there.
- Sure doesn't.

- I see you found a bridle.
- Yeah. Got one right here.

- Must take a small army
to run a ranch this size.
- Just about.

Elizabeth must have been
calling to somebody
from here when I found her.

Trampas, I think his name was.

Well, they were in Hanna
together. He had to stay behind
to pick up some equipment.

Well, say, does he know
what happened to her?

As much as we can tell him
by wire. He won't be back
for a day or two.

[ Footsteps Approaching ]

[ Door Opens ]

Afternoon, Ben.

Dave got you
all fixed up?

Sure did.
Horse and saddle.

Well, you'll need
a bedroll and some
cooking equipment. Dave.

Oh, I'll get it.
Excuse me.

Uh, how's Elizabeth?

Well, uh,
that's what I wanted to
talk to you about.

She wants to see you.Oh, I don't think that's
such a good idea. Do you?

Look, Ben.

If she's ever
gonna see again,

she's got to learn
to help herself.

She's not doing it now.
She won't even try.

- What do you expect me to do?
- Talk to her.

There must have been
times with you
when she wanted to give up.

- That was different.
- How was it different?

You could have left her,
gone off by yourself.

- I had my own reasons.
- It wasn't the money.
You wouldn't take it.

I intended to.
I just changed my mind.

Well, I sure wish
you'd change your mind
about seein' her.

She's your responsibility now.

[ Exhales ]

Well, I'll tell her
you already left.

Foreman.

Well, since I gotta
wait for Sutton,
I'll see her.

[ Elizabeth ]
The peak.
Can you see it?

[ Ben ]
Yeah. I can see it
all right.

And I can see
how it fooled you too.

All warm
and friendly-lookin'
from here.

We know better, don't we?

Yeah. We know both sides
of the story.
That's for sure.

I'd like to see it again.

You will.

You just do
what the doctor says.

Get your strength back.

Now, what's this here?
You haven't even
touched your food.

Ben, don't leave.

I said I'd stay a while.

No. I mean stay on here
at Shiloh as a hand.

No. I can't do that.

Why not?
You said you were
tired of drifting...

and working for people
who were unfair to you.

Here you wouldn't have to.
My uncle's good to work for.
Ask anyone.

- It's not that.
- What is it then?

I've got something to do.

Couldn't it be done here?

You should see the way
they're treating me--
like I were a cripple.

They don't mean to,
but they feel sorry for me.

Everything they do to help
makes me feel more helpless.

Ben, you're different.
You understand.

If you stayed on,
I'm sure I could get well.

Please.

I couldn't stay long,
Elizabeth.

I'd have to...
leave after a while.

Stay as long as you'd like.

You'd speak to
the foreman for me?Yes.

You wouldn't have to
tell him I was gonna
leave soon.

No.

All right.

I'll do it.

On one condition:

that you eat.

And you're gonna
do it yourself.

I'm not gonna help you.
You can manage it yourself.

I know I can.Well, show me.

Come on.

Show me.

Just like you're gonna
show me you can get well
and see.

[ Footsteps Approaching ]

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

Course I'm sure
it's missing.

Now, if-- if it's not
where it's supposed to be...

and it's not where
it's not supposed to be,
then it's missin'.

Well, where was the rifle
supposed to be, David?
Uh, would you like some coffee?

No. No, thank you.
Now, where would a rifle be?

Well, you got
the question right.

Well, it was either
in my scabbard
or in my bunk.

No, it was in my scabbard.
I remember, 'cause I'd
just finished cleaning it.

- Well, what happened then?
- Well, then Ben came along,

said you wanted
to give him a horse.

You know, there's something
about Ben that bothers me.

It wouldn't be that
he's spending so much time
with Elizabeth, would it?

- Now, if you think I'm envious,
you're wrong.
- Oh, I didn't say that, did I?

No. No, you didn't.

It's just that
she's startin' to
depend on him too much.

You-You see the way she is
when she's with him.

I see that she's happier,
trying harder.

Well, what happens if--
if he just rode off one day,
left Shiloh?

Sooner or later,
Elizabeth's gonna have to
face other people.

[ Exhales ]

- I'm hoping she'll be able
to see by then.
- And if she can't?

I don't know, Dave.

But I know this:

If Ben gives her the will
to go on living,

trying to get better,
that's enough for me.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

But that still doesn't
help me find my rifle.

Well, I'm sorry.
I can't help you.

Well, that makes two of us.
It certainly does.[ Chuckles ]

[ Door Closes ]

[ Knocking ]Come in.

Hey, you didn't
finish your supper,
young lady.

I ate everything
but the burnt parts.

Now, I thought I cut
all those burnt parts away.

Not quite.

Liz, why don't you
come downstairs
with me for a minute?

Well, I was going to rest.Oh, nonsense.

Now, you've been
resting all day.

All right.Good.

All right.
It's the perfect time
to go downstairs.

Careful now.
There we go.

When we get you down
in that big easy chair
you like so much,

you're gonna feel
a lot better.

One more and the landing.

There it is.

And the other landing.
And let's count 'em.

One, two,

three, four, five,

six, seven.

And one more.
And you're down.
That wasn't so bad.

You are doin' just great.

[ All ]
Surprise!

I don't want anybody to see me.
I want to go back to my room.Honey. Honey.

We thought you might
be a little tired
of just seein' us and Ben.

[ Woman ]
Liz.

It's good to see ya
up and around.

Martha, isn't it?

We would have come by sooner,
but we weren't sure the doctor
was gonna let you see anybody.

Sarah.Yeah.

And the Pettets.
And the Calishers are here.

And let's see.
The Hobsons are here.

The Alexanders.
And there are the Dudleys.

Come on. Sit down
over here, Liz.

[ Chattering ]

Turn around. Okay.Good to see you again.

[ Man ]
Good to be seeing you, Liz.

And, Liz,

even those reprobates from
the Rocky Mountain Saloon
are here-- the Irish Rovers.

It's good of you all
to be here.

I'm glad you came.

That's all the doctor
can tell us.

We just have to wait.How's she taking it?

Oh, when that Ben Oakes
is around, pretty well.
And when he's not--

I sure wish the Graingers
would get back.

Ah, I should have
made her wait
and come back with me.

Maybe if I did that, the--Yeah, and maybe the stage you
were on could have been wrecked,

and both of you
could have been killed, or
a hundred other possibilities.

There's absolutely no reason
for you to feel responsible
in any way.

- I guess you're right, but--
- But what?

I know what you're saying.
It just, uh--
It doesn't help much.

I know that too. [ Door Opens ]

[ Door Closes ]Liz?

Trampas?Hi, Liz.

Oh!

Hello, Liz.

He's home.

Well, uh--

Hey. You look--
You look just fine.
Just fine.

That's the way I feel,
thanks to Ben.

Oh. Trampas,
this is Ben Oakes.

Oh, uh, they told me
what you did for Liz. I--

I sure want to
get to know you better.

[ Elizabeth ]
Maybe I can convince him.

I'm not gonna eat
up in my room anymore.
I'm coming down.

No arguments.

No arguments.

It's good to have you back,
Trampas.

Well, it's sure good
to be back.

I, uh--

Everything's gonna be
all right.

It's gonna be just fine.

[ Exhales ]

That's quite a girl.

Yeah. Yeah, she is.

Say, uh,

you ever know
Ben Oakes before?

No. Why?I don't know.

Just... something about
the way he acted.

Well--

How'd things go in Hanna?Oh, uh, well, I got the part
for the hay baler,

and, uh, the rest of the time
I just spent sitting around.

I bet.Oh, there was
some excitement.

Some-- Some guy
wanted to rob the bank.

The, uh, teller
wouldn't open the safe,
and so he got away,

and some clerk
took a couple shots at him.

I guess he missed.
Posse's looking for him now.

They know who he is?No, he's just somebody
passing through.

Hmm. Well, listen.
Come on in. I-I want to show you
some of these tally sheets.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, that's all right.
I-- Listen. [ Door Opens, Closes ]

I think if we can get
$20 a head for this-- [ Elizabeth ] I can see.

I can see!

I can see! [ Trampas ]
Liz?

Liz, look at me.

She can see.
You-- Can you--

Oh, I was so afraid.
I didn't think
I would ever see again.

Aw, Liz, I told you.
Now, I told you it'd be
all right, didn't I?

Well, uh--
Well, you better get--

You better send a telegram
to your-- your uncle.

Oh. I've gotta talk to Ben.
Where is he?Uh, I don't know.

Well, he hasn't left.

Li--

Thank God.

Ben!

Ben?

You don't look like
a bad dream at all.

You can see.

I told you.

I told you it'd come back.

It's so much better now.

I won't be a burden.You could never be
a burden to me.

My aunt and uncle
will be back soon.

I can't wait
for them to meet you.

And you'll like Trampas.
He can teach you
a lot about ranching.

What's wrong?

It's not that easy.

We can make it easy.You don't even know me.

I know you can be happy.

A man can't let
a thing like that just go by.

Can't live with it.

Ben, I know how important
your brother
was to you, but--

You see, Elizabeth,

it's like paying a debt.

Paying the biggest debt
I ever owed.

But to find him,
you'll have to go away.

And if you do,
you'll never come back.

I wish it weren't this way.

Elizabeth,
more than anything in the world,
I wish it weren't this way.

[ Gasps ]

Elizabeth,
it's been a big day.

Let's go back
to the house.

I want to stay here,
with Ben.

Go with him,
Elizabeth.

Please don't leave.

Not now.

She's 18 years old, Ben.

She's never been hurt
in her life.
Not really.

Would you want to be
the one to do it?

[ Man ]
That was real touching, Ben.

Real touchin'.

All right.
He's older than I am.

What difference
does that make?

But so much older.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter at all.

You'd have to know him.

All right.
Let me know him.

What about his past?
Where does he come from?

He had a farm in Kansas.

Wh-- This is Wyoming,
ranch country.

He sold it
and joined his brother.

- Well, then,
where is his brother?
- He was killed.

Oh?

All right!

There's a lot I don't know.

But what I do know
is important.

You don't have to know somebody
his whole life
to understand him...

and know that he's been unhappy,
and maybe I could change that.

And I know he wants
to do something wrong.

Maybe I can stop him.

I know he loves me.

Isn't that enough?

What does he want to do,
Elizabeth?

I can't tell you.

Does it have
anything to do with Trampas?

Of course not.
Why do you ask?

Maybe it's just a feeling,
but...

I saw the way he looked
at him when they met,

like he had known him before,
like he had something
against him.

Are you sure, Elizabeth?

Yes, I'm sure.
I want to go talk to him.

I don't think you should.

You can't stop me.
You haven't the right.

[ Sighs ]

Your uncle asked me
to look after you.

You don't have to.
Ben will.

Elizabeth,

I won't order you
not to see Ben,

and I won't tell you
you have to stay here,

but I think it'd be better
if you didn't see him.

I don't care
what you think.

All I care about is Ben.

I'd say you've done
real nice for yourself.

Good girl.

Big spread.

Rescue her,
and you get a real warm
reception here.

Then you just sit back
and wait to kill Trampas.

Right?That's right.
How'd you know all that?

I heard talk down at Hanna,
after the stage wreck.

When I seen Trampas
still in town,
I figured you'd head here.

You kill him yet, Ben?

- Not yet.
- Well, that figures.

You want me to
look at that arm?

Nah, it's healin'.

It's a funny thing.
You'd never figure a bank clerk
to be that good a shot.

All right. You'll be safe here
until I bring a horse,
if I can manage it.

I'm plannin' on stayin'
a little longer
than a half an hour.

Like I said,
my arm's healin',
but slow.

I don't want to move on
till it's better.

But you can't stay here long.
Somebody will pass by
and spot you here.

Not likely.
Unless you're planning
on bringing somebody up here.

I'm not planning
to bring anybody here, Jed.

Good.

I figure in a day or two
I'll be able to travel.

With that posse behind me,
I got to get up to Canada.

But I'm gonna need
some money.I haven't got any.

Course you ain't.
I know that.

But I'll bet
they got a lot of money
at that ranch.

You can't hold up
that ranch, Jed.

I don't intend to.

I'm just gonna
walk right in
and help myself.

[ Door Slams ]

Well, what's got
you so mad?

I'm not mad.
I'm just worried.About what?

Elizabeth and Ben Oakes.

Oh.It's just that we don't know
anything about him.

Are you sure
you never saw him before?

It's funny.
I've been thinking about it.

I didn't think so
when I first saw him,
but, uh,

now I get the feeling I have,
but I-I can't remember where.

Come on in.
I'll buy you a drink.
Maybe it'll come to you.

Yeah, it--

That's it.
The Hanna Saloon.

The morning the stage left,
I, uh-- I went in
to have a drink-- a beer.

And, uh, he was sitting
at the table
with another fella.

Little older
and bigger than Ben. Yeah. Hmm.

- Could be he didn't notice you.
- Could be, but, uh--

I think I'll have a look around,
see if I can find him
and ask him why.

You do that.

Yeah.

Let me see your gun.

It's a lot better
than the one
you bought in Hanna.

This the one
you planned on using?

Longer I stand here
talking to you, more likely
somebody's gonna find you here.

That's true.

I think I'll just
hold on to this for a while.

What for, Jed?
You afraid of me?

I want to make sure
you don't start taking potshots
at Trampas fore I'm ready.

Before you're ready?

Figure it out.
Got that posse behind me,

and I'm gonna need money
to get to Canada.

And when you shoot Trampas,
you're gonna need some too.

So, why not make his killing
work for both of us?

I still don't get
what you mean.

You never was no good
at figurin' out schemes,
Ben.

It's simple.
At the right time,
you kill Trampas.

That ought to stir up
quite a bit of commotion,
now oughtn't it?

People running around
and gathering posses,
heading out after you.

Oh, maybe they'd leave
one man to watch the ranch.

But I can handle one.

I'd walk into that house
just as pretty as you please...

and just help myself.

We could pick us out
a place up north to meet.

Then we could both have
what we need.

Me, the money,
and you taking care
of your brother's killer.

All those years
in prison,

all those things
you said to me--
they made sense.

He was my brother,
and I had to take care
of the one who killed him.

First chance I got,
you said.

"Shoot him just like
he shot your kin."

It all made sense.

But it was wrong.

You were wrong.

Are you saying Trampas
wasn't the one?

No, he's the one all right.

Go on and kill him.

Like you're supposed to.
Like I said.

Just make sure
it's good for both of us
when you do.

[ Chuckles ]

And that'll make it
even better, won't it?

If we both gain from it?

That's not gonna happen.

I'm not gonna kill Trampas.
I'm not gonna kill anybody.

I knew that.

No difference.
No difference at all.

You're the same fool that
stood in front of that bank
five years ago...

and the same fool your father
had nothing to do with.

The same fool not seein'
what he has to do.

Oh, I see.
I see real clear, though
you'd have me think otherwise.

You had me thinking that way
a long time.

There are some things
just more important
than my brother.

There ain't nothin'
more important
than your kin.

Not even other people's lives?

You saying Trampas
is more important
than your brother was?

No.

But he did what he had to do
because my brother was wrong.

And you're wrong!
And I've been wrong!

But that's all changed now.

I'll get you some food
and supplies,
but that's all.

You're gonna be leaving, Jed.

You're just gonna stay here
with the girl, huh?

I hope so, if she'll have me.

[ Elizabeth ]
I'll have you, Ben.

I came up to talk to you.

I was afraid for you--
for what you were gonna do.

But I heard what you said.

It's gonna be all right. Hold it!

All right, miss.
Get over here
between these rocks.

Jed.

Jed, leave her alone.[ Chuckles ]

I'll kill her.
[ Chuckles ]

Get over there.

Get away from her!

Now, Ben, this is the way
you wanted things,

but you're gonna
help me first.

You're gonna go down
to that house and get the money.
I don't care how.

Otherwise,
there ain't no reason
for you to stay on here.

No reason at all.Ben.

Hold it, mister,
or I'll kill her!

- Jed, you leave her alone!
- [ Chuckles ]

Now, you take a look at
that man there. He's the one
that killed your brother.

Look at him,
and see if you're gonna
let him get away with that.

Stay away from him, Ben.

He's not gonna
leave her alone.

He's gonna
take her with him.
I know him.

Now, you stand back, Ben,
or I'll kill both of you.

You're going to be
all right.

You are.
You have to be.

That peak--

Where is it?

Over there.

I can see it.

And beyond the peak,

the sun.

Yes.

And the mountains.

Ben, they're warm
and friendly for us now.

You'll see.

We'll be able to go walking
through them together,

just you and me.
