[ Birds Chirping ]

Jingo!

Jingo!

Jingo! Jingo!
Get up, Jingo!

Don't knock it off
the hinges. I'm comin'. [ Kicking Door ]

- Well, hurry up!
- I am hurryin'.

You got a posse
on your tail? What--

I didn't know you was
up on the mountain.

Who's that?I don't know.
Stoke up that fire.

Soon as I'm respectable.

I still got some of that
white mule left, if you
think that'd restore her.

I'm kind of afraid
to give her anything...

till I know
what's wrong.

- A-Anything broken?
- I don't think so.

All right.
Let's have it.

Here.

[ Coughing ]Hit her on the back. It'll
get it in the right pipe.

[ Patting Back ]

Here, you take some
yourself.

You look like
you need it.

No.

[ Jingo ] She's prettier than
a fawn in the woods, ain't she?Uh-huh.

- What happened to her?
- I was comin' up here to visit
on my way back to Shiloh.

I found her lying on the ground
this side of the creek.

Now, what would she
be doin' alone up here
in this high country?

I don't know. She's wearing
boots and a riding skirt.
She could have been thrown.

- No sign of a horse?
- Mm-mmm.

Mmm. Where do you suppose
she hails from?

You've never
seen her before?

I've never seen anything
like her before.

Where's
the nearest doctor?

Coyote Creek,
about four days'
hard ride from here.

That's eight days
to get him back.Mmm. He's dead anyway.

Leastwise, that's what
some fella come through here
last spring told me.

I can't take her down
the mountain like this.

There's a army patrol
camped down by Loco Falls.

I run into 'em yesterday
when I was huntin'.

They have any kind
of a medical man with 'em?

I didn't pay any attention.

But from what I hear,
those army sawbones take
your arm off to cure hangnails,

and the corpsmen shoot ya.

Well, there's nothin'
much else I can do.

Oh, I'll go.No, you stay here with her.

And try to make her
as comfortable as you can.

Wh-- What'll
I do if she comes to?
What'll I say to her?

I can't even read
or do ciphers.

Well, if she asks you
to read or do ciphers,
stall till I get back.

No, wait!
[ Groans ]
Wait!

Hey! Wait!

- Hey! Hey!
- Whoa!

I need a doctor.

You wouldn't know it
to look at you.

Look, there's
a girl up at Jingo's.
She's had an accident.

Uh, Captain Lacey's
our medical officer,

but he doesn't come out
on patrols this size.

You'll find him
at Fort Defiance.

She could be dead by
the time I get there and back.
Haven't you got a medic?

I handle
our first-aid problems,
second aid too.

What's wrong with her?

I don't know.

She could've been thrown
from a horse.

I can't find any broken bones
or anywhere she's been
hit on the head.

She's unconscious. She's
been that way quite a while.Fever?

No. Her skin was cool.

- Did you check her pulse?
- Very slow.

Uh--

I found an 11-year-old boy
like that one time,

standing near the charred
ruins of a wagon.

The Paiutes had tied
his folks to the wheels,

set fire to the wagon,
and that started the horses.

At least that's what
we figured happened.

Couldn't get anything
out of the boy.

He wouldn't talk,
or he couldn't talk.

He just looked
right through you,
like you wasn't there.

Did he ever
come out of it?

A family took him in,

but when I saw him again
about three years
after it happened,

he had growed some, but--

[ Chuckles ]
Well, uh--

Could be somethin'
entirely different, of course.
Hard to say without seein' her.

Well, could you ride
back up there with me?

I'd like to help ya,

but I can't
just take off like that
on civilian business.

Try stickin' a pin in her.

If she don't holler
or jump,

it could be
somethin' like that.

- Much obliged, Sergeant.
- Uh, you can't prod 'em.

They just burrow in deeper.

Guide 'em
and gentle 'em maybe,

but they've got to find
their own way back...

if they're ever comin' back.

Good luck to you.Thank you.

Hup!

Come on.

[ Whinnies ]

[ Sizzling ]

Those are
Jingo's finest.

Why, I've had folks
go 20 miles outen
their way...

just to get on
the outside of a platter
of them biscuits.

Why don't you put
a little honey on 'em?

I guarantee you won't stop
till the plate's clean.

Look, you gotta
eat somethin',

or you're gonna start droopin'
like a-- like a caged eagle.

I'll tell you what.

I'll just let it set
right here,

and you can pick at it
when you're a mind to.

You know,
about a year ago, I--

No, it'd be longer
than that.

A crippled whitetail
come up here.

Well, I tried to hand-feed
that critter...

everything from clover
to corn on the cob.

Wouldn't even sniff at it.

Now, I finally said,
"Well, you go right ahead
and die.

Ain't no nevermind to me."

Well, no sooner
than I turned my back
on that critter,

and he start
diggin' right in.

He limped around here
until spring,

and then he just...

wandered off somewhere.

Whoa.

Come on in here.

[ Chickens Clucking ]

You catch
that patrol?

Yes, but I couldn't get anyone
to come. How's the girl?Awake.

At least I think she's awake.
Her eyes are open.Well, that's somethin'.

Yeah. Uh, this her horse?

Must be. I found him
croppin' grass near the creek.

- Handsome animal.
- Recognize the brand?

Not from around here.

That's a lot of horse
for a button like her.

She say anything yet?Nope. Not a word.

Can't get her
to touch food.

Even my pan biscuits,
so you know she's
ailing bad.

How do you feel?

[ Gasps ]

I don't think
she felt a thing.

What's it mean?I don't know.

One of the soldiers saw
something like this once.

- Well, what did he call it?
- Fear.

Hmm. Well, what do you
give 'em for that?

- Time.
- All right. Then what?

They come back...

or they don't.

I wonder what those
pretty eyes could've seen.

You oughta be ashamed
of yourself, diggin' through
a lady's personals like that.

We've gotta
find out who she is
or where she came from.

Well, there's a better way
of doin' it than that.There is?

There's gotta be.

There's a letter "D"
someone's sewn on.

Would that be
her first name
or her last?

Don't look at me.

My Bess had to make hers
out of flour sacks.

Yeah, there's nothing
homespun in any of this.

These spoons are silver.

Now, you tell me,
what's a girl riding around
in a mountain for...

with a bunch
of silver spoons,

a crocheted tablecloth
and a Bible?

I don't know.Hey.

Something's written
in here. Look.

"Always remember you are
God's beautiful child.

Mother."

Well, nobody
can argue that.

But it sure don't
give a glimmerin'
about who she is.

Evenin'.Ride on in.

We never shoot anyone
until supper's over.

Saw your fire
from the ridge.

Well, help yourself to it.

Coffee, too, if you've
got a strong stomach.

Oh, anything would
sound good to me.

Been in the saddle all day,
travelin' light.

How far you goin'?Wish I knew.

Lookin' for a girl
that might be lost
around here someplace.

Well, might be able
to help you there too.

Some fellow caught up
with us this morning
just after we broke camp.

He needed a doctor
for a girl who was hurt.Oh?

Could've been thrown
from a horse. They've got
her up at Jingo's now.

What kind of a horse
was she ridin'?

I don't recall
he made mention of it.

But from the way he talked,
she was hurt bad.

Unconscious.Oh, is that right?

You a friend of hers?

[ Chuckles ]
Might not even be the same girl,
but I'm sure gonna find out.

- Where is this place?
- You know Holiday Meadows?

Yeah, roughly.

At the east end of the meadows,
there's a canyon...

leads from the hills
up into the mountains.

You'll see falls there.

Now, follow that canyon
until you get--

♪♪ [ Harmonica ]

♪♪ [ Stops ]

Hello.

Just keep rocking,
Jingo.

I'm the foreman of a ranch
called Shiloh.

It's named after a battle
in the War Between the States.

It's down
near Medicine Bow.

Do you know
that country?

How come she noticed you
all of a sudden?

Are you hungry?

Try a sip of this.

That's Jingo's finest.
It'll put hair on your--

Just keep rocking, Jingo.

Never heard
of a squeaky rocker
curin' anything.

I found you unconscious
down the mountain.

Did your horse throw you?

He's, uh, sure
a fine-lookin' animal.

Your name begins
with "D," doesn't it?

Sure has us curious.

Can you tell us
where you live?

Three Falls? Ridgerock?

Don't look like
she hears us.

[ Exhales ]
I'm glad you're feeling better.

Hmph.

Drop your cup, Jingo.Huh?

Drop it.

She-- She deef?

Maybe.

Touch her cheek.I couldn't do that.

Touch her cheek.
It's important.

I'm beginning to feel
like I ain't here.

She noticed you
right enough.

We'll talk some more
about it in the morning.

It's all right.

It's all right.
I won't go away.

I'll be right here.

She hasn't made a sound.

Deef and mute.

Poor little thing.

[ Crowing ]

[ Whinnying ]

[ Whinnying Continues ]

Keep your socks on!
I'm comin'!

[ Blusters ]

[ Whinnying ]

You're probably
used to a better breakfast
than this old barley hay,

but that's all
the breakfast I got.

[ Whinnying Continues ]

Whoa now. Whoa there.

[ Whinnying Continues ]

Whoa!

Now whoa. Now whoa!

You're kind of uproarious,
aren't you? Eat that breakfast.
Go on, eat it.

Right here.

[ Screaming ]

What is it, darlin'?
No. It's all right.

[ Screaming ]What is--

[ Screams, Crying ]
No!

[ Screams ]Here, here.

[ Crying ]You're all right.
You're all right.

Nothing to be afraid of.
Easy, easy.

Nothing's gonna hurt you.

I won't let anything
hurt you.

What happened?
What did you do to her?

I didn't do nothin'
to her, ya crazy loon.
What do ya think I am?

Something must
have scared her.

She might have
remembered something.

Oh.

[ Sniffles ]It's all right.
It's all right.

"What'd you do to her?"

Of all the addlepated,
moonstruck talk!

Thanks, Emma.

A little of your sweet milk
will bring the bloom
back to her cheeks.

[ Horse Blusters ][ Grunts ]

Hey!

You drifted in quiet
as a first snow.

My horse pulled up lame.
It could be a stone bruise.

I'll take a look at it
just as soon as I put this
in the cooler.

No, I can handle it, thanks.
Just needs a little soakin'.

He yours?Nope.

Belongs to
a friend of mine.He for sale?

You know, I might be
interested in makin' a trade
with something like that.

I don't think
the owner cares much
about sellin' right now.

Is the owner here?
I mean, you know, with
my horse bein' lame and all.

Well, the owner's a lady
that I'm lookin' after.

Uh, she ain't exactly
up to talkin' business.

Why? She sick?

Yeah, but not ordinary sick.

More like bein', uh,
unsettled in her mind.

Can't see things
right in front of her,
don't talk.

But she is conscious?

You could say that.

The way I figure it,
somethin' scared her
right out of this world,

somethin' she just don't
wanna face up to.

But we'll
bring her around.Uh, who's "we"?

Me and my partner.

Got an extra bunk
in there for me?Nope.

I'd be happy
to pay you for it.

I'd be happy to take
your money, but that
don't make another bunk.

You can camp
right up there,
if you like.

Thanks.

Do you
remember this?

It's yours.

Your... mother wrote
something in it for you.

Do you know
what that says?

[ Pail Clattering ]

This is your initial.

What does it stand for?

Well, now,
look at that.

Sittin' up
and readin'.

Come tonight,
she'll be ready for some
of my son of a gun stew.

You talkin' to yourself
out there?

No, I wasn't talkin'
to myself.

Some jasper come in
with a lame horse.

Well, what brought him
up this way?

Well, I suppose he was
tryin' to get on the other
side of the mountain.

That's what brings
most folks up here.

Hmm.
What's he look like?

Two arms, two legs,
one head.

Well, go out and say howdy
if you're so all-fired curious.

I'll be right back.

Don't.

Wh-- What'd she say?

- What is it?
- Don't leave me.

She sure took
a fancy to you.

She doesn't even know me.

Well, you don't know her either,
but you got a feelin' for her
all the same.

I found you
down the mountain...

where your horse
threw you.

Do you remember?

Don't go.

Would you like to sit
on the porch for a while?

Yeah. Good idea.

The fresh air'll
do her good.

I think it's time
she met Mac.Yeah.

Give her an appetite
for some of my
son of a gun stew.

There you are.

Jingo's, uh, got a squirrel
around here that'll do
some tricks for you.

Hey, Mac! Mac.

Come on. Right here.

Here you are.

You feed him this one.
I'll go get him some more
of Jingo's finest.

[ Squirrel Chittering ]

He's probably
the best-fed squirrel
in the whole wide world.

There you go, Mac.

Mornin'.

I'm Cain Ellis.
My horse went lame
coming up the hill.

Jingo told me.

- Where you headed?
- I got a job waitin' for me
on the other side.

That so?

Sure hope it keeps
till I get there.

How's your horse comin'?

Oh, the rest
is gonna help him.

[ Chittering ]

She doesn't even know
I'm here, does she?

- Doesn't look like it.
- I-- I never saw anything
like that before.

Neither did I.
She's had an accident.

She doesn't... react
to people.

That's too bad.

Say, uh, I was wonderin'
if the old boy has any
liniment around here.

I, uh--

She sure is skittish.

Somethin' wrong?

While we were talking,
she just walked away
suddenly.

Oh, well,
he's a stranger and--She didn't see him.

There. You see?
Same thing happened to me
that other time.

I wasn't doin'
nothin' either.

Just tendin' the fire,
and she let loose
without seein' me.

Why, you're about the only one
around here she's comfy with.

[ Horse Blusters ]

I was wonderin'
if you have any liniment
I could use.

Never heard
of usin' liniment
on a stone bruise.

Well, it seems like
he came up with a little
stiffness in his shank.

Well, it's right
over there in the shed.

Thanks.
I'll pay you for it.

Just don't use it all.
The pony express don't
get up this way.

Well, I better
shake my bones if we're
gonna eat tonight.

[ Blusters ]

He's yours, you know.

He's beautiful.

[ Blusters ]

So it's been three
or four years now I've been
stopping by to see Jingo...

every time I'm up
on the mountain.

I've known him a lot longer,
ever since he and his wife
lived in Medicine Bow.

Well, when my wife, Bess, died,
I come up here to be alone.

Just got kinda used to it
and stayed.

Hmm. I don't think
he'd admit it.

I think he's glad to have
the company once in a while.Ah.

It's wonderful, Jingo.

Did you hear what--

What's the secret
of this stew, Jingo?

I'd like to try it
myself sometime.

What do you mean "secret"?
Didn't you--

Hmm? Oh, uh, well, uh,
ain't no mumbo jumbo to it.

Eh, just a smatterin' of this
and a pinch of that.

Well, I just put everything
in the pot and just let her rip.

[ Laughing ]
Yeah.

Uh, I think it's
the mountain air does it.
Gives a body appetite.

Tomorrow, we'll have to, um,
walk over to Jingo's salt lick.

It's not far.

The animals come to it
from miles around.

Oh, I'd like that.

[ Chickens Clucking ]

I found a dress.

Was it all right
to put it on?

Why, of course. It's yours.

- Is it?
- You seem to fill it
just right.

- Is it new?
- It looks new.

- Did you give it to me?
- No.

- Did you?
- No.

- Where did I get it?
- You brought it with you.

From where?

Try to remember.

I can't.

Don't worry about it.
It'll come to you.

Now, how about our walk?
You feel up to it?

Oh, they're beautiful.

Let's go closer.

Oh!
[ Laughing ]

We frightened
them away.

It's natural to run
when you're frightened.

Mmm. It's so lovely
up here.

Like another world.

So peaceful and quiet.

Let's stay up here
forever.

That's impossible.

Why is it impossible?

I'll have to be
getting back to Shiloh.

I've never heard you
mention that before.

Shiloh Ranch.

Will I like it there?

Yes. Yes, I think
you might like it
very much indeed.

Uh--

I'll tell you what.

After I get you home,
maybe you can come
for a visit.

No.

We'd better
be getting back.

You shouldn't be
up too long.

[ Jingo ]
Don't seem to be
gettin' much better.

Well, takes time.

Hate to ruin a good horse
by forcing him.Mmm.

Uh, got some jerky
and some cornmeal
in here.

Hold you for a day or two
while the leg's mendin'.Much obliged.

It's too bad
about the girl.

She said anything yet?Nothin' in particular.

But she's going
to make it back.How do you know that?

Well, she's comin' around
already, gettin' more
sprightly every day.

Soon as she's up to travelin',
my partner's takin' her
down the mountain.

He figures if she sees
places she knows,

uh, might nudge
her recollection some.

Sure hope it works out.

And thanks again
for the grub.

Like I said before,
I'll settle up with you
before I pull out.

[ Snorting, Whinnying ]

I better go check
that critter of hers.

He's liable to kick
them poles down.

She had no business
bein' on a brute like that
in the first place.

[ Blustering, Whinnying ]

The ranch is out a ways
from Medicine Bow.

It's, uh, close enough
to be handy,

but far enough away
so you can be alone
if you wanna be.

Do you run Herefords?

Yes, mostly.
And some horses.

There's good water
and good graze.

Town's grown up a lot
in the last few years,

what with the railroad
coming through and all.

[ Sighs ]
Hope it doesn't
get too big.

It's kind of nice
to call everyone
by their first name.

You've never been there?

I don't remember.

I can't remember
where I came from.

I can't even
remember my name.

You had an accident.
Your horse threw you.

I found you and
brought you to Jingo's.

I'm so afraid.Oh, don't be.

Your home is somewhere
down the mountain.

When you're ready,
I'll take you there.

No.

There must--
There must be people
who are looking for you.

People who care
about you.

But you care about me.

Well, yes, of course.

Then that's all
that matters.

- Hey! We have any
callers down there?
- Well, we sure did.

Must have been four
or five deer stopped in
while we were there.

- Did you have a good time?
- Wonderful.

Well, you better
pile into those feathers
and take your nap.

Oh, but I'm not tired.
I thought I'd do
a little tidying up.

Oh, no need for that.

Well, I think
it's a fine idea.

Well, it's just a little
homey clutter is all.

Homey clutter
is one thing.

- Your cabin is somethin' else.
- [ Sighs ] Oh!

Please, I'd love to.

Suit yourself.

Could be good for her
to have something to do.

Things might start
comin' back.

She likes you. She acts like
she's known you for years.

Yeah. I don't know why.

She doesn't know me.

We never even met.

Sooner or later, she's
gonna have to face the truth
if she's ever gonna get better.

How's that fella's
horse doin'?

Comin' along slow. Why?

Coming up the trail just now,

I saw where he started
favoring his left foreleg.

He say where that horse
went lame?

No.

Don't see where it makes
a hoot where it give out
if he can't travel on it.

Seems like it does to you.

How many visitors
you get up here in a year?

Couple. Sometimes none.

Mm-hmm.

And all of a sudden,

in the space of three days,
you have as many guests.

What's on your mind?

Oh, just his--
his horse going lame...

that close to the cabin
and all, I--

But she'd tell us,
wouldn't she, if he had
somethin' to do with--

She'd tell us if she could.

If I thought that jasper
had anything to do with her
bein' like this,

I'd get that double-barrel
off the horns, and when I
was through with him,

he'd look like a willow tree
at a woodpecker's picnic.

We could just ask him.

All he'd have to do is lie.

Well, I could sure
send him packin'.

This is my homestead,
and I got the papers
to back it up.

Relax, Jingo. Relax.

You can't prove anything,

and you can't send a man
out in this country
with a crippled horse.

But first chance you get,

take a look at that shank,
you hear?

Yeah.

[ Whinnying Continues ]

Whoa. Whoa!
What's the matter, son?

Whoa! Settle down!

Quiet down!

Who's out there?

Oh, it's you.[ Whinnying ]

Just cause you can't sleep,
you don't have to wake up
the whole mountain.

Something sure spooked him.

Could be a cat.
I've seen signs lately.

He sure had his back up.
He tried to run me down
when I went in there.

[ Chopping Wood ]

I thought you were going to
take me for a walk in the woods
this morning.

[ Chuckles ]
That's my intention,
as soon as I finish this.

You'd rather chop wood
than walk with me?

I thought the least I could do
was get in some stove wood
for Jingo before we head out.

We stay much longer,
we'll eat him out
of his winter stores.

But Jingo said we could
stay as long as we wanted.
I asked him.

[ Grinding ]

How's the young lady
feeling this morning?

Chipper as a robin in April.
How's the leg comin'?

He still won't put
any weight on it.

I can't imagine
what ails him.

Well, if'n he was mine,

I'd make a poultice out
of some slippery elm bark.

Best thing next to bear fat
for takin' out the heat.

Might help.

There's a couple of elms
down by the spring.

Go on down
and cut yourself some.

Yeah.

[ Grinding Stops ]

All done?I guess.

[ Chuckles ]
All right.
Hold out your arms.

I'll load you up.[ Chuckles ]

Well, I can carry
more than that.All right.

[ Both Laughing ]

[ Laughing ]

You know how much better you are
than when I brought you in here?

I got my strength back
chasing after you.

And now that I've got you
helpless and unable
to defend yourself--

I'm sorry.

There's nothing
to be sorry about.

What's wrong?
Have I done something?

No, it's nothing
like that. [ Clatters ]

You just seem so remote.

I don't want you
to be hurt any more
than you've been already.

But how could you
possibly hurt me?

I'd never mean to hurt you,
want to hurt you.

It's just--

[ Bird Call ]

I'll be right back.
Right back.

[ Imitating Bird Call ]

[ Horse Nickers ]

How you feelin'
this morning, miss?

Just fine, thank you.

Say, uh, you look
kind of familiar.

Have we, uh, met someplace?

No. I don't know you.

I was admiring
your horse before.
Couldn't get next to him.

Kind of got a mean streak,
don't he?

Chief has a lot of spirit,
but he isn't mean.

Funny how he didn't
take to me.

Maybe, uh, you'd help us
get acquainted.

- Whoa, Chief.
- [ Blusters ]

Whoa, boy.[ Stomping Hoof ]

Here.

Are you all right?
Are you all right?

What happened?

Well, she just
wandered in the corral
to see how her horse was,

and he went after her.

I was just draggin' her
out of the way.

- I've never seen him
act that way before.
- He must've gone loco.

As far as I can make out,

you was havin' your troubles
gettin' her out of there.

I did what I could.
And what are you gettin'
on your ear about?

It was an accident.

Wasn't it?

Yes.

Well, uh,

we, uh, [ Door Closes ]

found out what ailed
your horse.

Oh? What was it?

There was a stone between
the hoof and the shoe.

I appreciate your help.

I'm surprised
you didn't spot it.

Oh? Glad you did.

Uh, Mr. Ellis.

Where did you say
that job was waitin'?

Down, uh,
Bitter Creek way.

Oh.

Well, uh, nothing
to hold you here now.

Your horse should be
all right to travel.

Well, I, uh--
Well, I guess
I'll be on my way then.

Much obliged.

I'll be just
pleased as punch to put him
on the trail out of here.

What do you think?I don't know.

But she saw him.

She knew he was here.

Thanks again.

I saw Mr. Ellis
ride out.

And you rode after him.

For a second, I thought
you were leaving me.

But I knew you'd come back.I wouldn't leave you.

I was just seeing Ellis
on his way.

That's beautiful, Jingo.

Nothin' fancy, but loud.

I sure do.

You haven't stopped
loving me?

It isn't that.

Tell me.

We've always been honest
with each other before.

I'm trying to be honest.

Then don't pretend
it didn't happen.What?

You didn't hold me.

My name isn't Wes.

I wish it was,
but it isn't.

Here's some
of Jingo's finest.

There's some honey
in there, too,
and some sweet milk.

Thank you, Jingo.

Just the biscuits are mine.
The milk's from Emma.

[ Sniffles ]

That's the first kiss
that cheek's had
for a good many years.

Thanks for all
you've done, Jingo.

Oh! [ Chuckles ]
Most excitement I've had...

since I cornered that fox
in the henhouse and it
turned out to be a polecat.

[ Laughing ]

You let me know
what happens, you hear?

I'll be on pins and needles
till I know everything's
all right.

This is where
I first saw you.

Does it look familiar?

- This is where we met?
- Yes.

Where did you think
it happened?

Well, I guess this is
as good a spot as any
to try some of Jingo's finest.

Here. I'll let this cool
in the spring.
Have a seat.

[ Screams ]

What's the matter?There, in the bushes!

What was it?

I thought I saw something.
A-- A man's face.

There's no one there.

Maybe I just imagined it.

Hold up.

We'd better stick to
the main trail. I don't know
where that one goes.

- You know that trail?
- No.

- Then why did you
start down it?
- It just seemed natural.

Let's stay with it.

[ Howling ]

[ Wolf Howling ]

[ Howling ]

Do you think you've
been here before?

- I'm afraid.
- Of what?

There's nothing
to be afraid of.

We'll be down
on the flats soon.

[ Low Growling ]

- Will we stop at the depot?
- What depot?

- Oh, it's just a little ways.
- That was abandoned years ago.

I know. That's why we
agreed to meet there.

Yes. We'll stop there
and rest.

You've been here before?

Yes. Wes and I--

We were running away.

Well, uh, where is Wes now?

You have to think about it.

Did something happen
at the depot?

Try to remember.

I remember seeing
his horse outside
as I came up.

And I called to him.Wes!

But he didn't answer me.

I couldn't imagine why
he wouldn't come to me.

Then I knew
he was teasing me.

He likes to tease me.

[ Screams ]

[ No Sound ]

[ Crickets Chirping ]

I'll be with you
all the time.

Did you go in here?

Was Wes in there?

You can't run
anymore.

Well, I-- I remember
opening the door.

At first, I didn't
see anything.

And then I saw a man
kneeling by Wes,

taking money from him.

He saw me, and I-- I ran.

Oh!It's all right.

It's all over.
There's no one here.

Now, you said "a man."

Would you recognize him
if-- if you saw him?

Yes.

He grabbed hold of me,

and I found something.

[ Horse Approaching ]And I hit him with it,
and I ran.

Maybe you've already
seen him.

[ Shouts ]

Is this the man?

Yes.

Thank you for bringing
our daughter back to us.

I'm sorry about Wes.

I had no idea he was
with a gang and wanted
when I took him on.

He was a good hand,
none better.

If they'd come to me
and asked permission,
I'd probably have said yes.

Sheriff figures that Wes
was running away like that...

because Ellis was trying
to blackmail him into moving
some of my cattle.

Ellis put it all
down in writing.

I'm indebted to you.

I'm glad I could help.

I'm not sure
I meant that.

Bringing you back
meant losing you.

Some of it was like
a dream at Jingo's,

but some of it
was very real.

You and I--

You saw me
as another person.

We both let ourselves
accept things we know
have to end now.

But do they?

Maybe when we've had
a few months...

and a hundred miles
between us,

maybe we'll find out.

Dulcie.
