Why don't you sniff the
wind while you're at it?

Come on.

I guess i'm just
itchin' to get.

Ok.

Come on, man.

Hyah.

goin' to montana
to stroll the land

ready... fire!

Ready... fire!

Half left...

Present... arms!

We was the lucky ones, frank.

I thought we was gonna come back that way.

We're sure sorry
about your boy.

left... face!

He gave his life
for his country, jake.

forward... march!

Mr. Ewing.

Well, we need us
a new fence.

Gotta get a gate.

Be all right.

Cabin ain't much,
you know.

Heh heh.

Well, imagine,

weren't even supposed to be a cabin.

There ain't.

Come on... ho!

Hyah, cattle!

Hey-yah! Hyah!

Go on, y'all!

You're sure right about this place, frank.

I ain't never seen
such a pretty place.

door was open.

Helped myself.

Always did have the
best water in the basin.

Saw the old clock
was gone.

Suppose you sold it

like you did that land
to them soldier boys.

Ain't ya done enough
to spite me?

Down to the two
of us now.

Just us.

You should've
married me.

We'd have had
a child.

Be heir
to it all...

the whole basin.

Ain't too late.

I gotta hand
it to you...

you hung on longer
than anybody else.

You put up a hell
of a fight...

but it don't take
no genius to see...

it's your last year.

I don't wanna have
to ruin you, ella.

Jacob, you mind
some company?

I've got a call
in to claire.

Did you see this?

I think the russians are
gonna beat us into berlin.

Neil, by fall, i'll have
the connors place.

Do you really think ella's gonna go under?

You can bet on it.

Why don't you come back east
with me for a couple of weeks?

We'll go down to the place in
virginia and do some fishing.

I wish your father had lived to
see this basin back together again.

I could never have rebuilt
it without his help.

Well, my father...

was a very generous man.

Cattle will cover
this basin

the way buffalo did in
my grandfather's time.

Sounds like that might
take a good deal of capital.

This is not a very good
time to talk about it,

but sometime soon, i'd
like to sit down with you

and talk about the mineral
rights to this valley.

Oil and cattle are
not incompatible.

This is heartland...
cattle country...

and that's the way
it's going to stay.

That's probably claire.
I'll get it.

Hello?
Yes, i did.

Hi, claire.

I know it's late
in new york.

I'm sorry
to wake you,

but i wanted you to
know where things stand.

Who's that
benefitting?

Oh, well, if it's the
belgian red cross, yes.

They're weird folks

Come on. Forget it.
Have a drink.

Do anything but pick
up that harmonica again.

Huhh!
Aah!

Uhhh...

it's that
soldier boy.

Looks like he took a
bullet right in the chest.

Put him in the shed.

His partner's
stone dead.

Emil kroegh is
lying up there

with a 6-inch knife
right in his belly.

Emil kroegh could do
anything for ewing.

they feed in the gullies,
and they water in the draw

their tails are all matted,
their backs are all raw

bill jones had a daughter,
bill jones had a son

Where's billy?

He's dead.

Oh, no.

Billy, my partner.
Billy...

billy...

i never should've
sold you that land.

But i had no choice.

Please...

please, tell me
who did this.

Name's ewing.

You sit up, you can have that food.

I ain't gonna
help you.

The more it hurts,

the quicker you're gonna
get well and get outta here.

I ain't set up
to be no hospital.

I left you some food
in that box over there.

It's mostly cans and dried
stuff, but you'll get by.

As soon as you're fit,
you're gonna be movin' on.

You ought to know,
old man...

this season's gonna hold
the worst work we ever done.

It's gonna be worse
than last year.

You're free to pack it in anytime you want.

Baby sister, each year i
get a little less primed.

I can still do my work.

You ought to know that.

They're sayin' it's
my last year, dodger.

They're sayin' i'm gonna
go under before fall.

Aw, they said
that before...

if i remember right.

It's different.

The bank isn't gonna let me just
pay on the interest this year.

We're gonna need beeves comin'
to over $12,000 by august.

Hell, we didn't do
$4,000 last year.

Well, we come close.

With all them broken bones of yours?

Well, there was
a few accidents.

You had some, too.

You're a year older.
You're brittler.

And your cows is
older and tougher.

Hell, you got cattle
ain't never seen flat land.

You might as well be ranchin'
a bunch of mountain goats.

Hell, that'll
ride him.

You know, that deep water don't hurt,

but that idea of bein' drug off
the cliff will kind of get ya.

You can say no.

Hell no.
I made my choice.

Well, we got us
1 old man...

and a banshee
woman boss.

Heh heh... feel like a fart in a windstorm.

Giddup!

Yah! Yah! Yah!

Goddamn!

Well, we lost 'em.

Flushin' cows out
of this timber

is like tryin' to teach an
elephant to use a typewriter.

Howdy.

Hear a terrible thing
happened to you.

I think i got the, uh,
man that did the shootin'.

Oh, you did.
He's dead.

Did you get the man
that sent him?

You better get that son
of a bitch before i do.

His name... is ewing.

Then tell him that.

He's the law.

The man you killed
worked for me.

I'm ewing.

Sorry your pard's
dead.

Sorry all this
had to happen,

but sometimes, things
just work out that way.

Now, we are disposed

to give you
the benefit of the doubt

when it comes to murder.

You take that

and head someplace where you got a chance.

Ooh...

oh, now, baby.

There... oh...

there you go.

Oh, yeah.

What's the matter
with her?

Her mama's dead.

She get
to nurse any?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

If it didn't, uh...

i don't imagine you're
gonna do her any good.

Nobody asked you.

Yeah... that a girl.

You gonna be
all right.

Yeah.

Please don't
watch me.

There you go...

I'll do it.

Since you're full able to get around

and fix a meal
and all...

figure you might as well just get goin'.

Here, i'll do it.

Told you i wasn't
runnin' no hospital.

This ain't
a hotel either.

Just thought i'd give you a little hand.

I don't need a maid,
don't need a cook.

You can get that kind of work in town.

I gotta go in tomorrow
anyway. I'll give you a lift.

Here...

made ya these.

I don't need
no chaps.

Hell, lady, they sure as
hell ain't gonna fit me.

It's a wonder you got any
flesh on them legs at all

with them skunk skins
you been wearing.

Uh... i need...
i need me a horse.

Think i could
buy one?

It'll cost you.

Yes, ma'am.
I did say i'd buy one.

I don't think there's nothin'
i want from you for nothin'.

Here you go.

You should've chose
a gentler horse.

You're too sto-stove up for parsons.

He'll break you just
taking you to town.

Don't want you to fall off here and sue me.

I'll take the risk.

I meant what i said
about taking you to town.

Thank you.

I ain't going to town.

You ain't goin'
back to that toilet

you call a cabin,
are you?

Yes, ma'am.

Excuse me.

It seems to me a person
in your situation

might use
an able-bodied man.

Thank you.

I guess i could
use a hired hand.

Sorry, i ain't
no hired hand.

I'll work with you,

but i sure as hell
can't work for you.

You do owe me.

You owe me for the care and
the time you spent at my place.

Excuse me?

I said,
you do owe me.

You know, lady, you got
balls the size of grapefruits.

All right.

I'll work for you
a season.

You pay me any way
you can at the end.

Except some of it's
gotta be in stock.

Of course, any
of mine we find,

you help me
trap 'em.

It's a deal.

whoa. Whoa.

why don't
you come on in?

I thought you might
want something to eat.

Thank you very much.

There's no need
to thank me.

I guess
i lost my head.

Excuse me...

could i use
your sink here?

Help yourself.

You're working too hard.

You're gonna get
yourself tore up.

You're not gonna be
fit to work.

A few more days
ain't gonna hurt me,

but you get
yourself stove up,

you might as well
pack it in.

Get yourself
another boss,

'cause i don't
need no cripple.

The towel's
under your hat.

I aim to get
this drive done.

It's gonna be
a long hard pull.

You're gonna
have to be fit.

Yep. Imagine
i can handle it.

I don't count
on miracles.

Don't mind me. I'm...
i always eat this way.

Uh, do you mind if
i do the same thing?

Suit yourself.

Excuse me.

Tragedies
of shakespeare.

Oh, i'm sorry.

I didn't know.

I'm sorry.

It's my bills.

That's where
i keep my bills.

Appropriate,
ain't it?

That paint horse
is gonna...

he's gonna make
a nice calf horse.

Mmm.

Nice house.

I noticed, uh, the edge
of your clean spot...

uh, clean spot on
that wall over there.

Mmm.

Used to be a clock.

My great-granddad gave
it to my mom and dad

for their wedding.

Like him, it was
a noisy old thing.

Couldn't get
a moment's peace.

Well, it sure
is peaceful now.

Hyah!

Come on!
Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

Yaah!

I got the rest of them
corralled up near the high mesa.

And them broncs
of yours

is the smartest
i ever seen.

Took me 3 days, but i got 'em all gathered.

Hello, buck.

You got some
damn fine horses

for this madness
of yours, ella.

Got enough?

I wouldn't be here
if we didn't.

Enough if
he works with us?

You think
you're up to this?

The way he talks,
he better be.

Well, you... you
look all right.

I just hope you
don't go bad on us

when we need you
the most.

I try not to make a habit of
going bad on folks, ol' fella.

My name's dodger,
if you don't mind.

You got a place
of your own.

Why'd you want
to throw in with us?

How'd you get so old
being so damn nosy?

Eh, luck and brains,
i guess.

You gonna answer
the question?

You gonna
give me a chew?

Well, you... you
sure picked a lulu.

Thank you.

Just don't
take it all.

I think i got
you figured.

Let's get the gear.

All right.

hyah!
hey!

my pal is an honest
young puncher

honest and upright
and true

but he turned
to a hard-shootin' gunman

on account
of a gal named lou

he mixed in
with evil compan...

Damn, buck...

i've had this thing
in hock so much,

The pawnbroker plays it
better than i do.

I wish that son of a bitch was here.

You ever been
married, buck?

I don't imagine i ever
been that drunk. You?

No.

I went with an old gal
for quite a while.

We's layin' in bed
one morning,

and suddenly
she sprung it on me.

She said, "dodger...

"don't you think it's about
time we was gettin' hitched?"

And i says...

"well, do you suppose
anybody'd have us?"

ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

they'll stay by a man
while he's winning

and laugh in his face
at his fall

hyah!

ewing's moving
his cattle on your land.

He's gonna try to cross.

I believe
you're on my land.

Take them around
the long way,

we lose maybe
2 to 4 pounds apiece.

This is the best way.

Don't mean
a damn to me.

I'll pay passage fees.

Imagine you will.

You let him cross here,
he's gonna walk all over you.

This is
a legal challenge.

I know what
i'm talking about.

He tried to do this
to my dad.

You let me tend
to my business.

How many head
you bringing?

Thousand.

He's pissing
on you, athearn.

Look like you're
halfway through now.

Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!
Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

Athearn!

Thanks.

Appreciate your helping out back there.

Think about working
with me, frank,

not against me.

The only thing i want
you to appreciate...

is i never want to see you or
your cattle on my land again.

Do you understand that?

Do you understand it?

hello, buck.

I'll be back
for my things.

Well,
what happened?

He was letting ewing run
his cattle across his land.

Yeah?

I stampeded
ewing's cattle.

J.w. Couldn't have
split you two up any more

if he'd have used
a broadax on you.

Can't trust athearn.

Yeah, he's kinda
sneaky, all right.

Always talking up
like he does...

and having
common sense.

It's real
bad business.

Sure did... gather them
cows in a hurry, didn't you?

Oh, yeah. We're... we're
just hell on wheels,

as you probably know.

You still looking
for that dog to kick?

Damn. You know,
you're... you're the one

to jump in when you don't
know the right direction.

But, you know, you gotta
go back quite a ways to...

make this all fit in.

Guess i'm gonna
have to hear this.

Well, just
the important part.

That... that's
all that matters.

So... well, j.w. Ewing
and tom connors,

they was... they was raised
like brothers instead of cousins.

Tom never would
give in to j.w.

He wouldn't budge
1 inch on the land,

and he raised
ella as a fighter.

He tried to make her
the son that he needed,

but he never did have.

She was weaned on war.

She never knew
nothin' else.

They got a word
down in texas... stargazer.

That's an ol' horse that's
had his bit jerked on real hard

whenever he'd slow up or
look down at the ground.

So, to get away from that,
he'd hold his head up

and always kinda
lookin' at the sky.

And that's ella.

Somethin' i can
do for you?

This here
is ralph cole.

Ewing has him
around the place

to keep them
windmills a-going

with that hot air
of his, i think.

I'd sure like to know
why he's on the prowl.

Emil kroegh was my buddy.

Ahh.

You know, i understand why they
keep this ol' windbag around.

The only thing he's good for is
mending fences or sugar tootin'.

But i heard
you were a real cowman.

Shit, you ain't
nothin' but a paper bat

who couldn't lick
his upper lip.

Well, any horse's ass
that'd work for a woman...

he don't deserve nothin'
better than road-apple pie.

I guess we know how
ella's paying you off.

Yeah.

Oh!

Unh!

drink
your beer, dodger.

Yaah!

Unh! Unh!

I'm so sorry,
fellas.

Unh!

He'll cover it.

I say you oughtn't have done that!

Unh!

Look...

you tell your boss
to stay clear of me.

Go on!

God!

Ah!

Didn't want you sneaking
back for your damn cattle.

Well, i'm obliged.

Where'd you find 'em?

It ain't so hard if
you know where to look.

How you doin'?

Fine.

Could offer you a little water if you like.

We hid your cattle on you.

Figured it'd stretch
more work outta you.

Doesn't much matter.

Yes, it does.

Ain't never cheated
a man in my life.

Even had
you stayed,

we would have given
them back to you.

It's all right, and
how about the water?

No.

I'm not gonna
consider it a debt

if you take a mouthful
of water, you understand?

Woman, what in the hell
is the matter with you?

Well, what the hell's
that supposed to mean?

It means what in the
hell's the matter with you?

Why don't you just come
and say what you got to say

instead of that nonsense
about these cattle?

You and the old man
can't make it alone...

so you need me.

Well, i figure
i need you, too.

Imagine i could make
this work here for a year,

but then i'd have
to pack it in,

and i figure...

figure you
do, too.

Sure like to figure,
don't you?

Yes, ma'am.
It, uh, it helps.

Look, i don't want to take
over your ranch, you understand,

but i, uh...

i'm not coming back
as a hired hand.

I ain't never
had no partner.

Well, it's not real hard to figure out why.

For the season.

I guess i'll see you
in the morning.

There's, uh...
one more little thing.

I sure hate the way you
say my name "athearn."

I hate it. "athearn."

Sounds like
you're sneezing.

So, uh, i thought maybe
we could call each other

by our first names...
frank and ella.

How's that sound?

All right.

Ma'am?

All right.

All right, what?

All right...
frank.

Jesus.

There you go.

See you
in the morning.

Hyah!

Hyah! Hep! Hep!

Hyah! Hup!
Hup! Hup! Hup!

Hyah! Hup! Hup!

This what
this is for?

No, by god.

Mornin', ella.

Can you spare
a minute?

Come in.

This here's virge hoverton,
the banker, frank.

Guess you know
about frank athearn.

Good morning, miss connors, athearn.

Pleasure to meet you,
mr. Athearn.

This is neil atkinson.

I'm sure you've heard
of atko oil.

Uh, and this is, uh,

george bascomb,
his geologist.

Heard you've been
doin' pretty good.

Still got a ways
to go though, huh?

I don't guess you come up
here to talk about that.

You got somethin'
to say,

why don't you
just say it?

You know,
miss connors,

the characteristics
of this valley

are almost identical
to what we found

in other parts
of this state

where there are already substantial
oil fields in production.

Why, there could be
a lot of wealth in here.

Unfortunately, we can't
really pinpoint

the exact location
of that structure

without a more complete
seismic record.

What he means, ella,

is they want
to test for oil.

I'm not stupid, virge.

I also ain't interested.

You ought to know
that by now.

Well, i
understand that.

But have you given any
thought to what this means?

Uh, hell.

Hell, i imagine
it means

you gonna tear
the earth apart.

You know,
ella,

i admire you.

I've watched you
and your father

give everything you had
to this piece of land.

Now is your chance
to make it pay.

I seen places where
they drill for oil.

You better include my partner
over there in these dealings.

He's got a mind
of his own.

It's not just a question of a
piece of land or an oil company.

The war is going
to be over soon,

and we're going to have a lot of
building to do. We're going to need

more energy than we've
ever needed before.

When it comes to the land
over the needs of the people,

i think i'd have
to take people anytime.

Boy, it sounds to me like
a bunch of speeches i heard

when they was tryin' to get
me to re-enlist in the army.

They sure
don't seem

to have done a hell of
a lot of good, do they?

I'm with the lady.

You got your
answer, virge.

You know, ella...

you could lose
this place overnight.

Miss connors, i think
i know how you feel.

I've dealt with
a lot of ranchers

who feel the same way
you both do about the land.

Think it over.

And good luck
with your roundup.

Be seein' you, virge.

Hyah! Hyah!

You know,
i've been thinkin'.

Imagine there
could be somethin'

to what that atkinson
said, you know?

What are you
talkin' about?

Well, i mean,
if you was to agree...

and they was
to find oil,

you'd have enough money,
you'd be set for life.

Then you'd be shed
of ewing's and me.

All them things that
bother you so much.

Now, see, you don't always
look at both sides of things.

Ain't about to start now.

Guess you're not.

But i thought with
all that oil money,

hell, you could buy you
a nice house in the city.

Be a real fine lady.

Real fine lady.

Drink champagne,

and eat that there,
uh, caviar.

Drink tea, you know,

with your pinky
up in the air.

Wear them nice little,
uh, silk dresses

with them flowers
all over it.

Ain't that
a pretty picture?

Uh, yes, ma'am,

think it is.

I knew she'd never let you
oil people piss on that land,

even if it meant
losin' it to me.

I don't think she's going
to lose it to you, jacob.

Virgil tells me

she and athearn are
rounding up enough cattle

to see them through
another year.

Ella and that young
cowboy make quite a team.

I admire you, jacob.

My father always said

you were one of the last of
the great empire builders.

Your father
understood.

My father was
a rich man's son

who played
with money.

But i'm not him.

Of all the money
my father lent you,

you've never
paid back a cent.

I'm not asking you for the
money you owe my family,

but i want to test
for oil on this land.

And when my people
have had a chance

to study
the findings,

we'll talk again.

And what if i don't
go along with you?

I know how much this
ranch means to you, jacob.

I'd hate to see
you lose it.

Uhh.

Lemme get
my air.

Uhh.

Frank!

Ohh.

I just gotta
get my air.

Get the truck.

Damned air.

Doc says your limbs are
gonna be fine, old man.

Gonna have to stay put
for a while.

Hell,
i ain't that sick.

Besides, we still got a
hell of a lot of work to do.

we got us
a bunch.

Man's tryin' to tell you

he's, uh, straight
as a skeeter's peter

in the middle
of matin' season.

I been watchin' you
pretty close, buck.

And i can tell you was
taught by old joe voss.

He's as good
a cowboy

as i ever met.

I figure you could cut
his trail any old day.

I never had his
seam squirrels.

Always figured that's
what made him so fast.

He was the most
cootie-laden critter

god ever
put hair on.

But he was a cowboy.

I imagine.

Are you gonna give me
a chew, buck?

Well, hell, you bet.

All i got here is
this, uh, copenhagen.

Well, that's...
that's good enough.

Yeah, i thought
it might be.

You save me a pinch now.

Yeah.

I'm gonna go tend
to the horses.

Ella?

You ought to know
better than anyone,

i won't allow
no lyin'

under my roof...

except some of
my old tall tales.

But i know
and you know...

my ropin' and ridin'
days is over.

Who's top dog,
baby sister?

The one that bites
the hardest.

No matter
what you think,

your dad would be
damn proud of you.

Whoa, son.

Whoa.

My garden's dyin'.

Oh, just needs
a little waterin'.

Windmill broke.

It's just
an old machine.

God damn you,
ewing!

God damn
your soul!

I imagine, uh,

we got us a big enough
herd right now.

No sense gettin'
hoggish about the...

about the whole
thing here,

especially with the weather
gettin' as bad as it is.

It kind of spooks me.

We, uh...

we turned out
them good bulls...

and some nice heifers.

You have you a nice start
for next year.

I guess what i'm sayin'
is, uh, we could, uh...

just go with what we got,
you know?

What do you think?

I slept with ewing.

I slept with ewing
when i was a girl.

He was always
watchin' me.

I was forbid
to go near him,

but he was always
watchin' me, and...

i'd come home
from school,

or i'd be out
workin' the herd,

out by myself
somewhere.

He'd be there
just lookin' at me

and waitin'.

Never said
nothin', just...

just watchin' me
and waitin'.

Then he had me.

My dad won a law
case against him

over the land.

One night,
me and dodger

and my dad were
eatin' supper,

and he rode up yellin'

for my dad
to come outside.

I stood right next
to my dad on the porch.

Ewing told him every
damn thing we did.

My dad looked at me
to tell him it wasn't true,

and i couldn't do it.

It just broke him.

Just broke him.

I hate him.

You know,
it's gonna be, uh...

nearly impossible
for the two of us

to drive that herd
down the hill.

So i was thinkin', uh,

well, we ought
to hire us some...

some hands

to help us get them from
here down to the ranch

and then from, uh,

you know, from
the ranch to, uh,

wherever the hell it is
we're gonna sell them.

I was just, uh,

thinkin' i ought
to go in town

and hire us on
someone to help.

Thought maybe
i'd go tomorrow.

What do you think?

Hmm?

Yeah.

How was your trip?

A little rough.

There was some turbulence
in the mountains.

Mr. Ewing, these
are all records

of the seismic shooting
we've done on your ranch.

We've completely
covered your land

all the way to ella connors' property line.

The only place where it
would be economically feasible

for us to drill a test

would be somewhere in here.

Now, that's right on
the connors' ranch,

and she's not going
to let us drill there.

But there's another
possibility.

We could drill diagonally
under her land,

from the edge
of the creek

at this point
on your property.

Now, we wouldn't
have to put

any hardware
at all on her land.

It would probably be easy
to get her permission.

Thank you, george.

You can leave
the reports here.

Thank you.

Now what are
you gonna do?

Wait her out...

and hope, like you do,
that she'll go under.

But that could take
quite a while.

Yeah, it could.

In the meantime...

what do i do to protect
my interests from you?

If you could stop me,
you would.

The only way
to protect myself

is to have the ewing ranch in my name.

I've gone over
the whole situation.

With whom?

With hoverton,
with the bank.

You talked to hoverton
about taking over my ranch?

Well, you don't own
the bank, jacob.

There was a time.

I'll make it as easy
as i can for you.

We'll behave as if you were
still the owner of the ranch.

If you were
in my position,

and you thought there was a
chance for oil in this valley,

wouldn't you protect
yourself by taking it over?

If you were me,
what would you do?

I'd squeeze so hard

your nuts would fall off.

Hey, neil,

you don't
have to leave.

Might as well make
yourself at home.

Hell, the house is
as good as yours now.

Tell me, neil...

when you retire me...

you gonna give me
a gold watch?

J.w.

Sit down, boys.

I understand ella
and that soldier boy

have rounded up
enough cattle

to hang on
for another year.

You hadn't ought to worry about that, j.w.

Just because they've
got them pinned...

sure don't mean that
they're gonna stay pinned.

They could be
stopped...

real easy.

Ever since
there's been ewings,

there's been blockers
and coles at their side...

through everything.

Nesters,
rustlers,

all our enemies.

When i was a boy,

i saw a bulldog take
a bull by the nose

and wrestle him
to the ground.

The dog bit too hard,

and the bull stomped
that dog to death.

Well, boys...

we got a whole pack
of dogs to deal with.

Hyah, hyah! Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah-ah!
Yah, yah, yah!

Hiya!

slide, then go home

ease, stamp, and right

Imagine you'd like
to try one of them?

You think you might like
to take your jacket off?

Now let's do
the texas star.

bow to your partner

then bow to your corner

now swing your partner,
to the left, whirl

then spin

i think i better
get started.

I want to get over those
hills before it gets dark.

Julie, uh, pack up some
chow for mr. Atkinson.

It's all taken
care of, j.w.

Good.

Julie...

i think you
ought to know

we'll both be workin' for
mr. Atkinson from now on.

Is that a fact?

I surely do appreciate your
not sayin' anythin' to anyone

about takin'
over, neil.

You'll see,
jacob.

Everything is gonna work out just fine.

into the center,
let's hear you yell

Yo!

now break,
inside your partner's arms

ah, and left,
your partner

now right...

Good stock,

but a bit old,

i suspect a mite
on the tough side.

Won't find better beef,
and you know it.

You should've sold them
a long time ago.

We talkin' "should have's" and "what if's",

or we talkin'
cattle?

I don't imagine
you'll need a pencil

to give us a price
or nothin'.

Like to make
things official.

You call that
a price?

I do.

You only have about 40 good
head in that whole herd.

Most of those
cow's heads are sore

from bein' tied
to the trees.

Army ain't
buyin' anymore.

Everybody knows the war
is comin' to an end.

I think 5 cents
is a good price.

Well, i think, uh...

there will be
other buyers.

How about
51/2 cents?

How about...

us thanking you
for your time?

I know it's been
a long trip.

We appreciate it.

Now we'll just
say goodbye.

6 cents,

and we do
business.

I'm only doin' that now
because i've known ella so long.

That include delivery,

or we gotta
bring them in?

No.

You deliver.

No, uh...

We deliver...

i imagine we'd need
another, uh, another penny.

Uh, we're doin'
the work and all

and, uh, weight loss.

Got to get
another penny.

She was tough
in the old days...

but the two of you's
just plumb awful.

Ok, 7 cents...

and that's as high as i'm gonna go, now.

Is that a deal?

Deal.

All right.

Congratulations.

You're sure gettin' this
place back on its feet again.

Yeah.

I'll see you in town
with them, then,

and don't be
waterin' them

just before
you get to town

to add a little
extra weight.

So long, ellie.

So long, cliff.

Sit down, virgil.

Thanks, j.w.

That was sad about neil.

Yes, it is.

I understand, uh...

you're goin' over
to ella's later on,

to pick up payment
on her note.

Well, yes, i am.

Gonna celebrate?

Like you and neil did

when you talked
about takin' me over?

Oh, now, j. W...

wasn't anything
like that at all.

I had no choice
in the matter.

Oh, i figure
you did, virgil.

J.w.,

i have to tell you

i have neil's instructions
regarding the ranch.

Oh?

Neil left instructions...

to you?

Well, yes.

I have to put the takeover in the works,

but you don't
have to worry, j.w.

He left specific
instructions

that you were to still run the ranch

at a good salary.

The ranch will still
bear the ewing name.

You're going to be well taken care of, j.w.

I hate to be the one
to do this...

but you have
to look at it

from my position, j.w.

You see, my first
responsibility is to the bank.

You talkin' to me
about the bank?

My grandpa
built that bank.

Well, i know that, j.w.

Well, you might,

since you was the one who
come whinin' to us for money

when the bank
was failin' in '29.

We never
failed you, virgil.

Trusted you.

You sold us out.

Guess i gotta rank you
with a dog, virgil.

Sit down.

Big day for you,
ain't it?

Cattle to market...

debts about to be paid...

new man in your life.

You best get
out of here, j.w.

I never wanted it
to happen this way,

but you left me
no choice.

I'm gonna give you
one more chance.

You don't give nothin'.

You want my land,

you're gonna
have to kill me.

That's the way
it's always been for you.

One of us
had to kill the other.

No.

I just wanted to be left
in peace to work my land.

Whatever happens now,
you brought it on yourself.

You're not gonna get away
with it, you know that.

Hoverton's
on his way out here.

Hey.

Cut the rope
on my hands.
