All language subtitles for The Virginian - 8x19 - A Time of Terror

Well, Clay,

I'm thinking
of making a little toast
to celebrate my, uh--

ourcampaign.

That gets me to remembering the
first time we drank together.
You recall that situation?

Oh.[ Chuckling ]

Yeah, I recall.

Sedalia, Texas.Sedalia.

I'd just finished reading
the law and he'd just hit town
with a herd of longhorns.

Yeah.
My first big drive.

Green kid, big in the head,
spoilin' for trouble.

[ Woman Laughing ]
Oh!

[ Horse Blustering ]

[ Gun Hammer Clicks ]

He was gonna do the town
with the big boys.

Decided he could lick
any three men in the place
from another herd.

Dare I ask what happened?

Uh--
[ Clears Throat ]
Well...

I threw one punch
and missed.

When they picked me up
off of the floor, they
threw me out into the street...

right through
an expensive window,
unfortunately.

[ Gasps ]
Clay.

The owner said I had to
pay for the damage.

I didn't agree,
but the sheriff did.

Arrested me.Clay became
my first client.

- You defended him?
- Yes.

He convinced the sheriff
I wasn't responsible for the
direction my body took...

when my feet left
the saloon floor.

- The other three
had to pay for the damage.
- [ All Laughing ]

Clay bought me a drink
to celebrate.

He raised his glass...

and passed out
flat on his back.

I did it on purpose.
I didn't have the money
to pay him for defending me.

We've covered
a lot of years
since then.

Yes, we have.

Well, here.
I should be toasting you, Will.

You're going to make
a fine congressional delegate.

Hear! Hear!

This could be a tough fight,

but with a loving wife
and dear friends,
we'll make it.

- Salud!
- [ All ]
Salud!

[ Gunfire ][ Glass Shattering ]

[ Gunfire Continues ]

This is no good.
Let's get out of here.

[ Gunfire Continues ]

[ Whimpering ]

[ Gunfire Continues ]

[ Galloping Hooves ]

[ Gunshots ]

Well, anybody crashes a party
at your house, Will,
they do a job of it.

Promise you
I didn't order fireworks.

[ Sobbing ]Oh, honey, it's all right.
It's over. They've gone now.

They'll come back.
You can count on it.

Now, darling,
you mustn't behave
this way.

Come on. Our guests
will think you're
a great big crybaby.

Well, I think
she has a right.

Certainly scared me
out of five years' growth.

But it's over now.
It's all right, Mary.

No, it's not all right!

Those two are gonna keep on
until they kill you.

[ Sobbing Continues ]

I take it
this has happened before.

Yes, it has.

Yesterday evening
when Will was coming home
from Medicine Bow...

he told me two men
tried to stop him on the road.

He had to ride
for his life!

Any idea
who they were, Will?

It was too dark to see,
and I didn't hang around
to ask questions.

[ Knocking ]

You all right, Judge?
Everyone here all right?

Yeah.
Just a little shaken up.

- Did you see who they were?
- No, I didn't. You want me to
get the men and go after 'em?

No, you'll never find them.
Get some sleep. Put Jeffers
on guard till morning.

I think you should
tell the sheriff
in Medicine Bow.

I think we all
ought to get some sleep
and put it out of our minds.

I think that's
a great idea.

We should go upstairs,
have some hot tea and
gossip ourselves to sleep.

[ Groans ]
What a mess.

I could use that drink
we didn't get to finish.

[ Chuckles ]Ah, here.

Don't be too concerned
about it.

I've been
a district judge
for 18 years.

I've sentenced
a lot of men,

made
a lot of enemies.

These are not
the first two that...

thought they had
a grudge.

Well, I'm glad to see
you're so calm about it, Will.

Here's to a calm, rational
congressional delegate.

Thank you.

Ah.

Well, I think I could
use some sleep myself.

- Good night, Clay.
- Good night, Will.

Well, we ought to see each other
once more before you hit
the campaign trail, Will.

Have to talk
about financing,
you know.

How about
the end of the month?Fine.

Meanwhile, I'll stop
in Medicine Bow
this morning...

and drop off the petition
at the cattlemen's office.

We get enough signatures, we'll
have you a blanket endorsement
from the association.

It won't hurt a bit.
[ Chuckles ]

Thank you both.

Always good to see you,
Elizabeth.

Now, honey,
you stop worrying.

This tough old bird has survived
this long, he's not about to
lose his tail feathers now.

- [ Both Laughing ]
- Well, Holly!

Well, good-bye.

[ Kisses ]
Giddyup.

Well, all right.

[ Chuckles ]

Well?

Oh! Mighty pretty!
Mighty pretty.

You're going to spoil me.

Well, you thank
the Virginian.

If he hadn't sent
such a good-news wire,
I wouldn't be so generous.

Did he say
when he and the others
would be coming back?

Well, since we got top dollar
for the herd,

I have a hunch the Virginian'll
let the boys cut loose
for a couple of days...

before they head back.

Probably be home
by the end of the week.
[ Kisses ] Giddap!

It'll be good to see them.

Shiloh's been like a ghost ranch
since they've been gone.

Nobody'll be happier
to see them than Jim.

He certainly hasn't enjoyed
being cooped up.

Well, he picked a bad time
to be sick.

[ Gunfire ]

[ Kisses ]
Giddap! Git!

Ho!

Stay in the buggy.

[ Leaves Rustling ]

[ Hammer Clicks ]

[ Rustling Continues ]

You better come out of there
before I get nervous.

[ Woman ]
Don't shoot. Please.
I'll come out.

I'm not gonna hurt you, girl.
Come on out.

Who are you?
What's your name?

Uh, Sally... Mason.

What's been going on
around here?

- You all right?
- Yes, I--

I-I guess. I--

You must have scared him off
when you came along.

He was threatening
to kill me.

- Why?
- Figured I could tell him
something he wanted to know.

[ Sighs ]
It takes a lot
of explainin'.

- Do you know who he was?
- Yes.

His name is Frank Thurman.

I met him a few months ago
while I was working as a typist
for Judge McMasters in Laramie.

McMasters?

Yes.
Do you know him?

Yes. We just left his ranch
earlier this morning.

Well, then he didsettle down
in Medicine Bow when he retired.

Yes. He has a ranch
three or four miles out of town.

Why don't you
come along home with us?

- It's safer than around here.
We can talk about it.
- Oh, well, uh--

I was hoping to get
into Medicine Bow today.

You see,
I'm looking for a job.

Come along with us
and give yourself
a chance to calm down.

You can ride
with Elizabeth and me.

My husband
can bring your rig.

I... amkind of unsteady.

We all are.

What do you think?

We'll talk about it
later.

Giddap.

[ Clay ]
Whoa.

Hi.Hello, Jim.

Hi.Hi.

Sally, this is Jim.

Jim, that's Sally.Hello.

Hi, Jim.

Oh, uh--
[ Clears Throat ]

[ Jim Clears Throat ]

Excuse me.Shall we go inside?

[ Clears Throat ]

Oh, hi, Mr. Grainger.Hi.

Yeah.Appears
you're feeling better.

Fine. Say, have you
heard anything?

Yeah. They're gonna
be here in a few days.

Well, now that
is good news.Yeah.

Milking cows
and feeding chickens just
ain't my idea of ranch work.

Well, maybe if you
have supper with us
tonight at the house...

it'll ease the pain.

Well, it just might.

[ Door Opens ]

And you say you first
met this Frank Thurman
10 months ago?

Yes.

Then about two weeks ago
I was in a restaurant
in Laramie...

and he came up to me
and started asking me
questions...

about what the judge did
with his official records
when he retired.

His records?Yes.

I told him I didn't know,
but he wouldn't believe me.

He started
to get rough.

Luckily there were some
gentlemen in the restaurant
at the time and they helped me.

Hmm. Well, did he say
what he wanted
with those records?

I didn't ask.

I do remember that the
Thurman family was involved in a
land dispute with the railroad.

The judge ruled on the case.

This Frank Thurman--

Maybe he just wanted to
finish the conversation
he started in the restaurant.

I guess you know
what I'm thinking.

Now, this thing that
happened to us on the road.

Maybe it's tied in
with what happened
at the ranch last night...

and the day before.

I have a feeling the judge
may want to talk to you, Sally.

Yes, I-I guess he would.

Well, I could go over there.No, no.Not you.

- I can drive back.
- Yes, you could.

And be back
well before dark too,
if you started right away.

Well, I think Jim
should go with her.

I'll tell him to get ready.

Excuse me.
I'll get my things.

I was wondering--

I-I'm kind of tired.

If I could
take a little nap.

I think
that's a good idea.

Come on. I'll show you
the guest room.

Thank you.

Hi, Mr. Grainger.
How is, uh-- How is everything
up at the house?

Fine. Fine.Good. Good.

Hitch a fresh team
to the surrey.

You're driving back
to the McMasters ranch.

She's not leaving, is she?
I-I mean,
w-whatever her name is.

No, no, not her.
You are.

Me?That's right.

I want you to leave right now.
Elizabeth'll explain on the way.

Sure.

Well, come on.

Back to the barn.

I'll get this
all ready for you.

You can stretch out
and have a nice beauty nap.

Although, heaven knows
you certainly
don't needone.

You're very kind,
Mrs. Grainger.

Well, I can sympathize.

You know, this has been
a pretty hectic time
for all of us.

Now,

cover up and...

I'll call you when Elizabeth
and Judge McMasters get here.

Thank you.

[ Lock Sets ]

Good-bye, Uncle Clay.
See you before dark.

I'll get us a hot cup of coffee
and we can talk.Good.

[ Footsteps ]

Mr. Grainger.

Who are you?

[ Door Shuts ]

It's always the way, ain't it?
Trouble comes
when you least expect it.

What do you want?

[ Holly ]
Clay?

Get inside.

Clay, would you like--

[ Hammer Clicks ]

Just sit down and relax,
Mrs. Grainger.

Clay, who are they?

What's happening?

They didn't bother
to introduce themselves.

Where is she?

She?

Go find her, Joe.

Sally! Look out!

[ Groans ]

Clay! Oh, Clay!

If you two wanna keep
breathing, tell the old man
to forget the heroics.

Joe.

Help her.

He oughta know better
than to reach for a rifle!

Please, Joe.

Help her, Joe.
Go ahead, help her.

I'll help him.

All right!

I'm all right.

We don't want to hurt
anyone, Mr. Grainger,
so please just sit still.

Sally--
It's not even Sally,
is it?

That's right.

It's Emily.
Emily Thurman.

These are my brothers,
Joe and Frank.

A hand they call Jim
left with the girl.

They gone
for McMasters?Yes.

And the others are out
on a cattle drive,
just like you said.

- What is it you want here?
- Just sit still. Be quiet!

You'll find out when
we're ready to tell you.Joe, be respectful.

I'll be respectful
when and if he proves
he wasn't involved in it.

Involved in what?

Let me explain.

That was Frank that you saw
on the road-- a little game
we played for your benefit.

And the story about you
being McMasters's typist?

- I had to get you
to send for him.
- Yeah.

You tried to kill him
at his ranch.

That doesn't work,
so you trick us into
inviting him here.

Nobody's trying to kill him.
Frank and Joe
just want to talk to him.

Nobody was doing
any talking last night.

- Frank?
- No, he's lying.

- We tried to get close,
and they made a fight of it.
- You were shooting at us!

- Emily, we didn't
start the shooting.
- Why--

She's obviously going
to believe her brothers
before she believes us.

Just tell me why
you picked us as bait.

Why?

Because you and McMasters
are such good friends.

We've been reading the paper
the last few days.

The Honorable Judge McMasters
endorsed by the big,
important Clay Grainger...

for congressional delegate.

Well, last night me and Joe got
a chance to see just how good
friends you are with McMasters.

- So we figured we ought to
look into that as well.
- As well as what?

[ Scoffs ]
Boy, will you listen to him!

Just sittin' there so lily-white
and innocent, like he didn't
know what we're talkin' about.

Maybe it's because
we don'tknow
what you're talking about.

You're lyin'!Joe.

We don't know
if he was involved
with McMasters in it.

That's why we're here--
to find out.

Now, let's not accuse
until we get proof.

Just what are we
supposed to be involved in?

Stealing our land,

murdering our pa,
and helping our ma
to an early grave.

I don't know what
you're talking about,

but I doknow
Will McMasters,

so you'll pardon me
if I don't believe
a word you're saying.

You'll believe it.

You'll believe it.

Are you going to bother
to give us all the details
before you shoot us?

Nobody's
going to be shot.

We just want to see
an injustice made right.

You've got a strange way
of doing it.

You reach for another gun, and
I'm gonna really lay you out.All right.

Let's not make it
any rougher
than it has to be.

We'll talk more
when the judge
gets here.

No,
it's all right.Well, I'm hungry.

You fix us some food.

You fix your own food.

Don't talk down to me, lady.

I know how to use this.
I don't want to,
but I know how.

Joe, she may not be
responsible for whatever
her husband might have done.

Maybe not,
but she's not gonna
talk down to me!

Please.
Maybe you'd better do
as he asks.

I'll watch her.

Your brother's got
a hair-trigger temper.

You lose both your folks
in one year, you might get
a little nervous yourself.

Uh-huh.

Well, he hurts my wife,
he'll be a lot worse off
than nervous.

You threatening us?Stop it, Frank.

Mr. Grainger, I told you
we don't want to hurt anyone.

Now, just do
as you're told.

Yeah, it's a puzzler,
that's for sure.

You can see why Uncle Clay
thought the judge
would want to know.

That's one thing for certain--

That girl,
whatever her name was,

she needs
some sort of protection.

What was her name?

Mary.

You told me it was Sally.

[ Chuckles ]
Well, I just--

I just hate to see
a young, poor kid like that
in trouble, that's all.

I understand.

Hyah!

Would you, uh, hand me
my apron, please?

Get it yourself.

How old are you?

What difference
does it make?

No difference.

I was just curious.

Well, I can handle myself.

I guess you proved that.

I'm 19.

I thought you were older.

Yeah?

Yes.

I guess you've had
your share of living.

I'll getmy share.

With a gun?

With anything I can.

Your mother's dead?

Yeah.

- I'm sorry.
- What?

I said, I'm sorry.

How could you be sorry?
You never knew my ma.

No, that's true.
I didn't.

But I know youa little.

Women learn a lot
about other women...
through their children.

I'm no child.

To women, their sons
are always children,

no matter
how old they get.

Are you pokin' fun at me?

No, I'm not.

Well, I got the gun.
Remember that.

Yes,
I'll remember that.

And I can use it too.

Yes, I guess
that's true.

And that's a pity.

That's probably a part of you
that your mother
didn't have anything to do with.

How could you know
a thing like that?

Maybe because
I lost two sons.

A mother doesn't want to see
anger or violence in her boy.

You are a boy,

aren't you, Joe?

And you hurt inside,
and that's what makes you
want to hurt back.

I guess that's normal.

But if--Just stop all this talk and
do what you came here to!

[ Sizzling ]

How do you feel?

I'll live.

Come on!
Hurry up with that food!

Oh!

Empty.

Would you take the tray
to your brother?

Wait a minute.

I'll take it.

[ Exhales ]

Joe.

Thank you, Joe.I'll bring the coffee
when it's ready.

[ Footsteps ]

Liar!

Liar!

Frank!All that talk
was just lies!

Liar! Lies!

Lies! Lies!

No!

I said it before,
I say it again--

Tell the sheriff
in Medicine Bow!Tell him what?

That somebody's
annoying my ex-typist?

That two men
I can't even identify
are bothering me?

Bothering you?
They tried to kill you.

And you doknow who they are.
The Thurman boys.

Frank Thurman stopped Sally
on the road to Medicine Bow.

That doesn't prove
he was here last night.

That's true, Judge,
but it is a strong possibility.

It is. You're right.
And Clay was perfectly right
to send you here.

Will, will you talk
to the sheriff
in Medicine Bow, please?

Honey--For me,
if not for yourself?

As soon as I find out what
this is all about, I'll talk
to the proper authorities.

All I know about the Thurmans
is that their father
once appeared before me...

in a land dispute with
the railroad, and I ruled
in favor of the railroad.

What could the Thurmans
hope to gain by getting
ahold of your records?

I don't know.

I guess the boy--
uh, Frank--
is angry, desperate.

[ Jim ]
Mrs. McMasters.

Don't worry.

I'll be back
first thing in the morning.
Everything'll be settled.

Now, double the guard,
lock your door...

and please,
please stop worrying.

You've given 20 years
of loyal service
to this territory.

You've gotten
little for it.

Now you're about to get
the recognition your deserve.

Don't do anything foolish.

Don't worry.

Let's get it over with.

You'll be just fine.

It's all right, darling.

How do you feel,
Mr. Grainger?

Bewildered.

Well, you'll hear it all
when the judge arrives.

Bewildered by you.

You're actually trying
to make reason
out of this insanity.

I want some of this too.

Mmm.[ Saucer Rattling ]

[ Rattling Continues ]

I believe
what I'm doing
is right.

McMasters worked with
a man named Felson.

They cheated.

Then they killed my pa.

Felson?
Jake Felson?

Big surprise.
Like he never even
heard the name.

Heard it?
I know the man.

Clay, isn't that
the one who--

who built that spur to
the Central Pacific main line?

Yes.

Are you saying that spur
went across Thurman property?

- You saying
you didn't know that?
- Yes.

You were head of the
cattlemen's association and all
in favor of building that spur.

Were in favor?
We still are!

That spur saves us
thousands of dollars a year
in shipping costs.

The association
helped him finance it.

Then you helped him
and the judge kill our pa
and take our land too.

I never heard the name Thurman
before a couple of hours ago
on that road...

when "Sally" mentioned it.

Lyin'! He just sits there
and keeps lyin'!

Felson already had that land
when he came to the association.

The question
of how he acquired it
never came up.

He acquired it by paying the
honorable judge $5,000 to rule
in his favor against our pa.

Five thousand dollars?

Judge McMasters
could no more take a bribe
than fly to the moon!

Grainger, either you're
the best bluffer I ever saw,

or you're a fool
about your friends.

Well, I know Will McMasters.

If you don't, you're gonna.

I want
some more coffee.

Sit down over here...

where I can watch you.

And don't talk.
Just sit there.

Don't talk.

Why do you keep
staring at me?

You really believe
you're justified
in doing all this, don't you?

Frank was telling the truth,
Mr. Grainger.

Now, if you are too--
if you really weren't involved--

then you're in
for a big surprise
when McMasters gets here.

All right, for the sake
of argument let's assume
all you've said is true.

What you're doing here
is illegal.

You can't bring your father
back to life.

Can't bring
our ma back either.

She died
two weeks ago...

of a broken heart.

I should say she...

stopped breathing
two weeks ago.

She really died
10 months ago...

the night that Felson
and his men came to the ranch
and beat up our pa.

He crawled...

back into the house...

and he died in her arms.

Well, if all you say is true,
why didn't you go to the law?

The law?

The law.

Judge McMasters's law?

Ma spent 10 months
of scared dyin'...

not letting us do anything
to fight back,

afraid she'd lose us
just like she lost Pa.

So you're
fighting back now, hmm?

She knew Joe and Frank would
start the minute she died.

She made me promise
that I'd watch out for them.

I'm doing that
the best way I know how.

You're watching them
work themselves into prison.

You don't seem to understand,
Mr. Grainger.

Your friend, the judge,

is guilty.

You'll never make me
believe that.

You'll believe it.

You see, we have proof.

Written proof.

[ Sighs ]

You almost had me believin'
that you cared about me.

All that talk about my ma.

I'd better clean this up.

Never mind.

We bought this china...

eight years ago
in San Francisco.

- Remember?
- Ain't that too bad.

All Ma ever had were...
tin cups.

Just a poor
homesteader woman.

She never even-- never even
had a cup like this.

Not even one.

Just tin.

All tin.
It was ugly.

Thing about it, though--

she never lied.

She liked you,
well, then you knew it.

And if she didn't like you,
well, you knew it.

But she wouldn't talk sweet
to you one minute...

and then turn around
the next minute...

and try to stick
a carving knife
in your back.

I never could either, Joe.

Never.

- Joe-
- You stay out of this!

Joe, it ain't her fault
Ma never had beautiful china.

It's everybody's fault!

All the cheats
and the liars!

They live in their
big, fancy houses...

a-a-and think
they're better than us!

Her!

Him!

Everybody like them!
Just liars and cheats!

Now settle down, Joe.

Joe, we didn't come here
for this.

You fool!

- I said settle down, Joe!
- [ China Clinking ]

Tin cups to you, lady!

No!

That's enough,
Joe!

If I wasn't so curious
about you, old man,
I'd just as soon finish you now.

[ Groaning ]Put him back
on the couch.

Give me the rifle.No.

You've done enough
hurting for the day.

Give it to me!Be quiet!
Quiet.

[ Surrey Approaching ] [ Hooves Clopping ]

You were so anxious
to see the truth, Grainger?

Well, you don't have to wait
any longer.

Everything's
all right now.

Unlock the door.

Whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Well, I'll go
put the rig away.See you at dinner.

About 8:00?Fine.

[ Clicks Tongue ]

Uncle Clay,
we're home!

[ Frank ]
We heard you
the first time.

What are you two
doing here?

We've been here
waiting for you, Judge.Give me the gun belt.

Oh.

All right,
now get inside.
Come on, now, get in!

Uncle Clay,
what's going on?

- Who are these two?
- Frank and Joe Thurman.

Sit down.

I told you
to sit down.

You'd better do
what they say.

I'm afraid we've been
led up the garden path.
Very ingenious.

Pointless, but ingenious.

- I told you to sit down!
- All right.

Check on the other one.

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

I'm very curious to know
just what you two
think you're up to.

You wanna do it
the hard way, huh, Judge?
Bluff it out for your friends?

No bluff, Mr. Thurman,

as you will find out
when you go to jail for this.

[ Door Opens ]

The other one's
puttin' the rig away.

[ Groans ]Clay!

Clay.

Sit down!I'm going to get some medicine
for my husband.

Shoot me
if you don't like it.

Well, watch her!

You know what I want
with you, McMasters.

But I'm also a little curious
about him.

- What about him?
- Was he in it
with you and Felson?

Look, your pa and Felson
were in a land dispute.

I sat on the case.
That's all I know about it.
Clay knows even less.

Neither Clay nor
the cattlemen's association...

knows how Felson
acquired the land
he built the spur on.

[ Pistol Hammer Cocks ]

It's taken some doing
getting to you, Judge,

and I'm running short
on patience,
so don't push your luck.

[ Pistol Hammer Releases ]

Joe and me found Felson
three days ago in Bodie.

We had a little talk,
and he decided to make
a clean breast of it.

That's Felson's handwriting,
his signature on the bottom.
A full confession.

Read it, Grainger.
Learn all about your friend,
if you didn't already know.

[ Groans ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Steam Hissing ]

You just keep foolin' around
in this old kitchen, don't you?

You just keep foolin' around,
just like it made a difference
what you do.

It don't, you know.

Least not
to your old man.

You're sure about that?

I'm sure.

And that
makes you laugh?

I'm not laughing.

You were.

Here I've been feeling sorry
for you because you lost
your father and your mother,

and now I see that dyin'
is just funny to you.

It's not funny to me,
lady.

But I'll laugh
when I want to.

Nobody tells me
when not to laugh.

I just--
I just laugh when I'm--

When you're scared.I'm not scared!

You should be.

You're about to do something
that you're going to regret
for the rest of your life.

Talk, talk.
Don't you ever stop talking?

You're the one that
has to do all the talking.

Meaning what?

- You need to talk
since your ma died.
- You leave my ma out of this!

That's what you'd like to do,
isn't it?

You'd like to forget everything
that she'd be saying to you
about all this if she were here.

But she's nothere!

She's not here.

[ Knocking ]

Mr. Grainger?

[ Whispers ]
Come on!

[ Knocking ]

Unless you want
that kid to die,
you get rid of him.

And no tricks,
unless you want
to die with him.

Yes, Jim?I, uh-- I got
the rig put away.

Oh. Thank you.

Well, I, uh--
I just stopped by, uh--

I was wondering if you
maybe needed some help
in the house with anything.

No, we're--
we're fine, thank you.

Well,
it was almost 8:00,

so I wanted to stop by
a little early,
see if I could do anything.

Oh. Uh, no. Matter of fact,
we're gonna eat a little later.Oh, later?

Why don't you wait
in the bunkhouse.
We'll give you a call.

Are you feeling all right,
Mr. Grainger?I got a little headache is all.

You don't look too steady.
Maybe I'd better
give you a hand.

No, no, that's all right.
You just wait in the bunkhouse.

We'll call you.All right.
Whatever you say.

Thank you.

Finally getting smart,
old man. Come on.

Jim! Jim!

[ Holly ]
Jim!

Jim! Let go!

[ Whimpering ]
Don't!

Don't!
Let me g--

No![ Gunshot ]

All right, come on.
Get outside. Come on.
Come on! Let's go.

Joe! No!

All right, come on!
Back inside, all of you!
Let's go!

- Bring him inside.
- Youbring him in!

[ All Grunting ]

Come on, Joe!
Get him in here!

[ Jim Groaning ]

Come on, Joe!

I'm all right.
Never mind me.

It's Jim.

I got him.

Put him here.

Come here
and sit down.Get his boot off.

You try to leave
this room again,
it'll be the last time.

Elizabeth,
there are compresses
on the kitchen table, honey.

Did you finish
reading this?

I read enough.You still think
we're lying about him?

Well, do ya?

I got several letters
from Felson...

when he first
had the idea
for the rail spur.

It looks like
his handwriting,
as I remember it.

I could check
my files.

Will,
tell me I'm wrong.

I can't.

I-I-- I-I can't.

It's true.
What they're saying is true.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

It's cold in here.

[ Holly ]
I can't stop the bleeding.

You able to make
the tourniquet
a little tighter?

You got what you came for.
You proved
what you wanted to prove.

Why go any further?
We've got to get him
to a doctor.

Why, we're not
finished here yet,
Mr. Grainger.

I told you,
there's a score to settle.

He's admitted what he did!

You're going to ruin your case
by letting him die!

He's right, Frank.
We let him die,
wewill go to prison.

Doesn't make any difference
what we do. We're all
going to prison anyway.

That's not true.

That's not true,
Frank.

We won.
Can't you see we've won?Not quite.

What do you mean?

The confession cost us,
Emily.

What are you trying to say,
Frank?

Felson took
an awful lot of persuading.

We didn't plan it.

He died just after
he signed the confession.

[ Emily ]
Oh, no.

Oh, Frank, you promised me
no one was gonna get hurt.

It couldn't be helped.

Now there's a sheriff in Bodie
looking for Joe and me.

Why?

Why did we do all of this?
Why didn't you just shoot him
when he got here?

That's what you tried to do
last night, wasn't it, Frank?

Yeah.

Yeah,
and we almost did it too.

We saw him and McMasters
breakin' bread together,

so we decided, why not use him
to get McMasters into the open,

and while we're at it find out
if they were both involved,
both ordered Felson to kill Pa?

Now wait a minute.
Slow down.

I took a bribe.
I had nothing to do
with any killing.

Don't you everquit lying?

I didn't read that in there.Well, then you didn't
read far enough.

Felson bribed him,
then killed Pa
on McMasters's orders!

This--

This isn't true.

This part
is not true.

It istrue.
Yes, it istrue
'cause it makes sense!

You had to get that land
for the rail spur...

so the cattlemen's association
would back your election.

When my pa wouldn't follow
your court order,
you told Felson to kill him.

It says so right there!

Perhaps Felson thought
it would make it easier
for him involving me.

I had nothing to do
with the killing.

We're going to Mexico now--
me, Emily and Joe.

Once we're safe there,
we're gonna mail this back--
to a newspaper, maybe--

just in case
anyone isn't quite sure
of the reason we killed you.

Frank.

We came here to set things
straight legally.It's too late for that now.

I'm not leaving this territory
without knowing he's paid
for what's he's done.

Frank, you can't
just execute him!

We're the only ones who can!
Now, can't you see that?

Joe and me made a promise
to ourselves-- to find
the ones who killed our pa.

Frank, I had nothing to do
with the killing.

As God is my witness,
I swear.

As God is your witness?
What would you know about God?

All right.

Think what you will,
do what you will.

Perhaps I deserve it
for accepting the bribe.

I tried to tell myself
it was
the right thing to do,

it was justifiable.

I wanted to be better,

more important.

Congressional delegate.

I-I really thought
I could do this territory
a lot of good.

I needed money
to start.

It was a mistake.

One mistake...

in 20 years.

Twenty...

long, empty years.

You oughta be grateful,
Judge.

You're gonna die
quick and clean.

And you.

Clay's not involved in this.
His name is not
in that confession.

I'm not gonna spend
the next 30 years in Mexico...

thinkin' I let
one of the killers
of my pa go free.

I told you,
Clay is not involved.

I'm gonna die anyway.
What reason would I have to lie?

You're a friend.
That's reason enough.

Ma said it once.

She-- She was ashamed
of sayin' it,

and scared
of sayin' it,

but she knew
it was true.

You got too much
of your pa in you.

One mean streak,
and it's...

[ Sobbing ]
made killers
out of both of you.

You got no call
to say that!

We got a right to revenge Pa!
A right, you hear? A right!

Joe!

[ Shotgun Cocks ]Frank!

[ Gunshot ]

[ Grunting ]

It's all over, Frank.

I don't understand you.

I'm sorry, Frank.

Elizabeth,
bring the surrey up front.

We'll get Jim
to Doc Spaulding.

Clay.

[ Door Opens ]

You've got to believe
I had nothing to do
with killing their pa.

I figured the end
justified the means.

Dispossess...

one homestead...

in exchange for
a good congressional delegate.

Seemed like a fair exchange
at the time, but...

doesn't seem so fair now,
does it?

No, Will.

It doesn't.

Whoa.

Mr. Grainger?

- Could I speak to her
a minute, Mark?
- Sure, Clay.

How are you
feeling?

A little scared.
Mostly sorry.

I wanted you to know
how sorry I am.

I'm more concerned
about what happens to you.
You're not like your brothers.

Well, I--

I guess they were
too long poor.

I've spoken
to the federal marshal
in your behalf.

After McMasters
is sentenced,
your trial starts.

Mrs. Grainger and I will do
everything we can for you.

I don't deserve that.

We all
make mistakes.

Some are bigger
than others.

You walk in
with us.
