You

You

It wasn't one of our wagons the direction it was headed would bring it nothing but grief

I couldn't figure out why anybody would try to make it alone to, California

I

Don't know what to do

You

You all there is ma'am

No

my husband

He left three days ago to catch him

He took the horses

just one I

Guess the others wandered away

Which way to go

You

You didn't see him

no, ma'am, but I

Ride scout for a wagon train. He might have come upon that. I think it's best place for you to be

Come on

I

Understand ma'am, we'll try and send somebody back for it

Find that stirrup

Oh stormy

You

Son you get up here behind your mother

Get a good hold

You

How many times have I told you not to play engines with your father's knife

When I get you back the wagon, I'm gonna take the switch to you and save the switch man

Bit of rock candy will do better

Okay, son. I'll take another look at it in the morning. Huh?

I

Think about people Ross she'd hugged him if he'd been hurt badly

And what you see out there is a sand rock

Well, it's not much like the San Joaquin Valley if what they say is true I like Andersonville a dock

Yeah, I'd like Andersonville

Sixteen and a half acres 30,000 people. Yeah

16 acres I held it's gone now Walt torn down destroyed. There's nothing left there

Is it duck? My brother's grave the others

I caught it with his hands my sugar can that's no good. He took it. I did not what's going on bill

I caught this thief in my supply wagon. All my lump sugar is gone, too. He's lying. He's lying. Hi

Wait a minute Charlie. I'll handle this

You know, mr. I've seen you around that supply wagon myself. I was just I

Didn't take anything I was

Give it to me Jeff

You don't need

See what I tell you

Better get back to your pies for the burn Charles. Yeah

You know doc a few people who was short on supplies, but you got out of your sugar. Mr. Hawks

Jeff doesn't even like this stuff. What do you take it for?

You ever been hungry, mr.

And I don't mean for just a day or two

But every day and every night for 16 months

487 days so hungry you'd eat scrap leather a day's rations pinch a meal or a dried-up sweet potato

Sometimes if you're lucky a scrap of vermin infested meat you've heard of Andersonville. Mr. Hawks

You mean the Confederate prison in Georgia?

Prisoners sometimes develop strong habits of survival hoarding scraps of food is one of them

Sometimes it carries over even when there's no longer any need for hoarding it better

Keep it waiting the supply wagon doc. You know, Wooster's got a few habits of his own anything Jeff takes

I'll see it's returned

Anything I hate is a thief

Anything I hate is a thief

Yeah

McCall's coming in. He's got a woman and a boy with him. They're looking bad-shaped you you better bring the doctor and come on

I'll get my bag

What happened wait, so I just get a doctor we doctors come

Once

Project

Let's get in and out of the Sun my wagons right here put her in there

I

Could sure use some food right now son, you better let the doctor take a look at you, too

What are you lipping about?

Walking for the last four hours

Where'd you find him? Thanks

I'm about eight miles south of here off the trail just the two of them. Yeah, and what I can gather the husband

Took a team horse and left her most of water. Which way was he headed?

South there's nothing in that direction. Great. There is

Yesterday, I cut the trail of a car of a war party not a big one ten horsemen twelve. Maybe they had their scouts out

No trouble for us, but sure is never the single wagon

Boys fine little rest and some hot soup. We'll have the woman on her feet shortly

She's uh concerned about her husband. I don't blame her. He's been out there for three days with half a canteen of water

But I promised her I'd look for him

A man deserves a grave and a headstone

You get some rest I'll run some errands

A few men and take a look. No, I think it's better if you stay here bill

I'll be all right as soon as I get some food in my belly and get cleaned up a bit

I'm worried about her. She'd be a lot happier. She had the things that are in that wagon

I'll send for right away good. Oh, you'll need an extra wheel and there's no sense of you holding the train up here

You planning on going out there alone?

No too much ground to cover

I'll take a half a dozen men with me, but I mean we should meet up ahead. How about sulfur springs?

sulfur springs is good no later than

Tomorrow night at the latest, right?

So

You can't have gotten far let's spread out but keep in sight and ride easy

Evening mr. Hawks miss kate auto. Hi, mr. Hawks a cup of coffee with us. Oh, thank you, ma'am

How's she feeling

Oh the doctor's in with her now no better, huh?

She won't feel any different either not until they find her husband. Yeah if they find him

It'll be up and around in no time, won't you son?

My name's cot

Fine name it's you

Were you in the big war

I was an army surgeon

Sun's gone down be more pleasant for you out by the fire

I'd rather stay here

My pa was in the war. He didn't like it. He never likes to talk about it

Some things are best forgotten

I uh understand they bring your wagon in soon. It'll help having your own things

Thank you

So

I didn't expect to find jetpoke alive a man with a half canteen of water couldn't last more than a day in this country

I was just about to call the search off

So

Oh

What have you got against a son mccollough a son

Yep

It was a cabin boy aboard a ship just like this for five years

the old mary ann

Best danged whaler ever to sail out of buzzards bay

You mean you used to catch whales from that boat caught them from the smaller boats. We carried on this one

Dories we called them and they were smaller than the whale. We went after sure took a lot of strength to harpoon a whale

Remember the harpooner in my boat. Tony the portakey why he had an arm on him like that

My pa was strong too. I bet you he would have been the best harpooner on your boat

Sure, sure he would

Here let me show you the tattoo I had put on in the port called shanghai you see

Flynn isn't back yet, ma'am. I brought your wagon in took a little while to put that new wheel on it

I'll have him moved up behind this one in the morning

Thank you. I'll fix you up with a new team and one of the anagin boys will be glad to drive for you

I won't be leaving without my husband

Well flint and the others will be back soon. Of course they will mrs. Polk. Mr

McCullough is a fine scout

If your man's out there, they'll bring him in

Ain't that right? Yeah

You know ma'am it's a little unusual for a family to try to travel to california all by themselves what's your hurry

I don't know

Good night

What are we gonna do doc man like that ain't fit to live

Hmm one thing we ain't gonna raise in california is beans

Did you get the wagon in? All right. Yeah

Dang fool was driving with a rear wheel froze to his axle

Ross back yet

You know, I don't know how to figure a man like that trying to take a wagon through this country by himself

Sure must have been in a powerful hurry

Oh

He was running

Running in them from us

Or his conscience

I don't I don't follow you doc. How could he be running from us?

That woman that mccullough brought in she's jed's wife jed polk's

Jed polk

Walt get out of my way. It's a woman and a boy. They're not responsible. They're pokes

Have you forgotten we swore to kill him? Sure jed polk not his wife and his boy

Don't try to stop me doc. Whoa, not now. You'll hang for this

Is that the way you want to pay for your brother and all the others?

Maybe it's out of our hands anyway

He's been out there three days without water

There's a passage in the bible walt

Vengeance is mine saith the lord. No

No

I ain't a praying man

But i'm praying now doc

Now i'm asking they bring jed polk in alive

The lord can have his black soul

After I get my hands on him

Oh

The man starts running he runs for the rest of his life

So

So

So

So

Oh, it's you, huh, what do you think you're doing?

I had a trap set to catch a sugar thief. It looks like I caught one

Well, you're about to catch something else as soon as I get loose in here. Yeah, but you ain't loose yet

Well, I am not now bill. How did I know it was going to be you?

I had a trap set for jeff and you coughed just like him coughed. Yeah. Well, what do you expect? Mr

Wooster, what do you have in that mess? Anyway, oh, it's a little thing. I mixed up

It's a salt pepper and vinegar and some I put some crushed sour bugs in it, too

I gotta protect my sugar. Don't I?

Do you mean to tell me that you went through all of this trouble just to catch a sugar thief, you know

You haven't worked this hard since you were bucking for corporal in a general's mess

Well, I've had any sugar thief around either, huh? No

Bill you think mccullough find that fella? I don't know charlie

Sure feel sorry for that woman and little boy

It sure beats heck what people do just to get to california. Yeah

I suppose that fell in behind some wagon or something

No, they were going alone they were three days ahead of us and we had fort myers

You know, you'd think that they would have known that we were behind him

Give me a hand. Will you yeah. Yeah

What's bothering him

We had words

Whoa, son got him. Yeah. Whoa. Come on charlie. Grab a hold of his legs. I got him charlie

Thanks

You come to yet. All right. I need some whiskey charlie. Yes, sir

You

Jed it's all right, man

Oh son, he's gonna be all right auto take him to your wagon get dr. Day, will you he's alive

I don't know how he's made it, but he's still alive

God

Mr. Hawks, dr. Day says he won't come he won't come did you tell him that bill?

I'll talk to him. There's a few things I have to straighten out with that bunch

Charlie don't let me drink too much. Yes

So

Brought a man in who needs medical attention doctor

Not a man mccollough

Jed polk

There's a difference

There is dos mccollough

Think he's gonna make it. Yeah

You planning on using that gun

So

Put the gun away walt

We don't want mr. McCullough to get a wrong impression i've already got the wrong impression doctor

You shouldn't have brought him in mccollough

You should have let jed die out there

There's a strange words coming from a man who's taken an oath to save human lives an oath

I don't need to be reminded of

Take a look around you mccollough

You know all of us

By name at least you ever wonder why none of us were married

Well, i'm single myself, ah, but by choice my friend what's that got to do with polk everything

We all of us have good reason to remember jed polk

There's ross ambry

Not yet 30

His wound doesn't show mccollough

But what it does to a man doesn't heal

And there's no medical remedy

That scar on walt's face that stopped hurting long ago

But some things make other kind of scars like seeing your younger brother die and knowing it didn't have to be

Jeff bullet nicked jeff's lung

But he's hanging on

Hanging on to die a long way from andersonville

under friendlier skies

As for me when I joined the army medical corps I was a promising surgeon

You mean jed polk is responsible for all of this

Yeah

There were 15 of us 15 men out of all the thousands of prisoners rotting in andersonville

15 who shared scraps of food

shared hope shared plans

15 men who didn't want to die

And he was one of us

We dug tunnels

hopeless tunnels

Never got us anywhere

16 months we survived

And then we got our chance

by scraping and pooling our resources

we got enough together to

bribe the guard at the north gate

That night when we got set to go

That guard had been replaced

replaced by a new recruit

A young boy from the looks of him

But we planned too long waited too long we had to go that night or not at all

Don't ask me why mcculloch

It's a question the four of us have asked each other a thousand times since

But that night jed polk sold us out he wasn't with us when we made the break

The new guard had been changed and they were waiting for us

14 men never got beyond the inner stockade of that north gate

10 of us still lie buried in that georgia swamp

Later while we were recovering in the prison hospital

We found out that jed had sold us out

He'd made his own deal with captain wurtz

Why should he sell you out?

To save his hide

10 of us for his I don't know why mccullough

We were still in the hospital when lee surrendered

We got together

the four of us

And began to look for jed polk

He'd started running

And he kept running with his wife and his boy

for four years

We didn't even know if he was still alive you done us a turn when you brung him in mccullough

Jed don't belong with this wagon train

When you move out in the morning

Leaving him behind

I don't know anything about jed polk

He's got a wife and a kid that don't know anything about andersonville

And when we move out his wagon goes with us. We just want jed mccullough

That's a matter for the army courts jed's already had his trial 14 of us

the undead

For who will never forget we'll be in fort stockton in five days

When we get there you can press charges to the military authorities

No, you're wrong mccullough

Jed ain't never gonna make it to fort stockton

I

Thought one of the qualities of a man in your profession was compassion doctor

It's gonna be all right ma'am, there's nothing to worry about one of the hannigan boys will drive if your husband's able to manage

Mrs. Polk could I have a word with you, please?

Oh

I'm sorry, ma'am, but the doctor won't be coming won't come but

Well, why?

You don't know

No, no, I don't he he was nice to me and to cotton

Well when your husband's feeling better, you might ask him

Ask him what mr. McCullough?

about andersonville

So

So

Give me the gun

Get it

You

Why wouldn't he come last night jed

You know dr. Day, don't you and those men with him I thought they were dead

How's the boy enjoying himself he's running up front

Is that why we've been running because of them

Running running ever since the end of the war right after you got back

Why jed

It's been hard on you

And on the boy, hasn't it

It's no way to live

It's no good

Me

For your son

You've been practically a stranger to me

Why jed

What happened at andersonville

Jed I have a right to know

Do

You eat all of it all of it I told you

He'll be up and driving before we reach for stockton

Where's cotton he should be in bed by now. Oh, he was around here just a minute ago dick. You see where cotton went

He can't be very far

Cotton

Cotton your boy mrs. Polk. Yes. Well, i've been here some time. He hasn't come this way

Aren't you one of the men who brought in my husband

Aren't you one of the men who brought in my husband I was with him

You're with dr. Day's wagon, aren't you?

Why didn't he help my husband

You'll have to ask him mrs. Polk

I'm asking you

Please

My husband's lying back there in our wagon

With a loaded pistol in his hand he's lying there afraid

He's been that way ever since he knew that dr. Allison day has been with this wagon train

Why what did he do

I know that that he was a prisoner of war that

That he was in andersonville with dr. Day, but I was with him too. Mrs. Polk

Perhaps you've heard of me

Ross amber

Amber

Yes, yes jed's letters

He mentioned you the list is long mrs. Polk

14 of us

But jed said that you were dead

but

You had all been killed attempting to break out of the stockade 10 of us mrs. Polk, but not all

You hate jed, don't you you and dr. Day

A mild word for what we feel about jed polk

We're gonna kill him

She didn't know walt

She didn't know about us and andersonville

Don't you go soft on me now

Not now

What are you doing out here son

What are you doing out here

You ought to be back in camp to sleep

I ain't sleeping besides my mom doesn't want me to bother pa

How is your pa he's pretty sick, but ma says he'll be well soon, you know what this is

It's just a rug

You sure?

What do you think it is?

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I

I think it's because of the war my pa was in the war. He was a corporal

He could have been a general, but he wanted to stay where the fighting was

Were you in the war too?

Yeah

We uh, we better get back to camp I think your ma has been looking for you

You wish it had been gone

Yeah, it looks like I got some new help oh miss pa cotton's right here I was about to send out a for you

So

You recover fast mister

Who are you?

The name's mccullough

Man who saved my life

I'm beginning to wonder if it was worthwhile

See you've been talking to dr. Allison day

and the others

keen

ross

jeff

They told you I turned against them

Sold them out

Yeah

But I wasn't there so i'm not sitting in judgment and you'll never know what it was like

the dirt of filth

Never enough to eat living like animals clawing the dirt like rats. It was the same for everybody at andersonville

They didn't have to make the break that night. I tried to argue with them. They didn't have to go

Seeing I brought you in I figure you're sort of my responsibility

for four days out of fort stockton

I'll do my best to get you there alive a man can run only so far

And he quits being a man mccullough

I'm through running

So

Gotta be today down

We'll be at fort stockton pretty quick

Once mccullough turns jed over to the fourth commander, we won't maybe it's better that way boy

better

Have you forgot the four of us stood by those graves and we swore we'd kill jed when we found him

Have you forgotten?

Jed yes, but not the woman not the boy. I only want jed. That's all

But not here not in the train. No, no not here

This train stops at the north cutoff about noon jeff already knows what to do

Ross and I can take him in

Is that all right with you doc

So

We'll give jed the same chance he'd give us a run for his life. Let's get the wagon moving

You get them going will you I don't feel right about that kyle patrol so i'm gonna have a look around

I'll meet you at uh, steve. All right

All right

Let's move them out charlie

So

So

So

I didn't like the sign i'd cut that kyle patrol was dogging the wagon train like wolves flanking a slow-moving buffalo herd

Waiting to cut down the strays

And I wasn't easy about jed polk either. I brought him in in a way. He was my responsibility

And I promised he'd reach fort stockton

Ready

Give us about five minutes after jump get things going. All right

We

Well, mr. Hawks

What can I fix for you today a little tomatoes and beans or beans and tomatoes charlie?

Wouldn't matter what you fix because the way you cook everything tastes the same

What do you expect out here now? Well, there's a little uh pheasant in a glass maybe or maybe some caviar

Yeah, what's that? Oh, it's a little round fish eggs. You used to fix them for general sherman

You know, I was quite a high-class cook

Hey bill come back here. Your general wasn't always complete either. It's supposed to be because I like it. Oh anybody else? No, but all our things

Don't worry about old bill getting into hope

Yeah

Your wife and kid are just outside

You want them hurt you? Yeah

Then you get up and walk out of here real quiet and easy like

So

Otto did you get a little close to a cactus today? No

They were all right a while ago. I gave him a feed bag while kate was fixing the kids something to eat

Well, we better get him back and get those spines out. You don't go fester on you

So

Let the boy go no, no, we gotta take him with us now

We can't let him get back to the wagons. Let's roll get him in the way

So

So

You planning on leaving the train

Any objections?

Well, there's a carwall war party somewhere in these hills. I think you're pretty tough on a single wagon. We'll chance it

You're alive

It sounds like you're not traveling alone

I told you jed polk wouldn't make it to fort stockton

It was you who brought him into us mccollum. You might as well be with us when we finish

Step down off that horse

Well, that's the last one

Mr. Hawks

It's a trouble. Mrs. Polk. My husband's gone and cod and I can't find him anywhere. Would you look in? Dr. Day's wagon?

That's gone too. Mr. Hawks. I was meaning to ask you about it. Oh, no

No, they said they were killed yet

But my boy

Not cotton

Try to get a movement start again. I'll round up a few men

So

That's right

Get on your feet what are they gonna do nothing to you boy, don't you get out of this wagon?

Yeah, good good you're gonna found a better place what about the boy he stays inside he won't get hurt no

Not here

Please not with him in there. You can't we're giving you a run in stark

And that's a more of a chance than you give us keen

You kill him and I promise you you'll hang

That's enough wall, let's get this over with not here like this you give me a chance start running

You start running i'll kill you right here

All right, you're first shot

Why you shoot

Come on

Hmm

It's a rain party

So

I want you to know why I sold you out

Not god

But when they changed on us tonight, we were set for the break

my brother

my brother dan

He chose the south

17 years old hardly lived. He understands just a boy doc. Just a boy

It was him or are you all of you?

No, why didn't you tell us I was afraid

Danny didn't mean anything to you. He's just another enemy soldier

That's why I didn't say anything. I was afraid you'd go anyway kill him

Anyway kill him

I had a choice to make I made it

The only way I had to

Lord help me

So

So

So
