The legend of the Bodine
brothers has etched itself into

frontier history.

Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.MX

In the last quarter of
the 19th century Morgan,

two persons Bodine captured by
the Cheyenne and freed eight

years later by the army, Quentin Bodine,

a young doctor from San Francisco
across thousands of miles

from the Missouri breaks
to the Canadian River,

from the Rockies to the high Plains,

both joined together in a search
for their sister Patricia.

Still a captive of the Cheyenne,

the legend of the Bodine Brothers.

This is their story.

This is the quest.

Never seen a little mayor
give you that much fuss.

Quentin.

What is it?

I know that brand.

Lazy h A man I used to know lives here.

Who is it? A ranch man
named Hatcher Morgan.

I wanted to get into Red
Blsts by this evening.

We can still make it.

Come on.

How do you know this man? Hatcher.

Well, it is a long story,

but I will never forget that brand.

Six horses, five bucks ahead.

$30.

I don't want the five bucks
ahead from you Mr. Hatcher.

That's what I charge the other ranchers.

You take it, you fix 'em
to be so independent.

All don't do me no favors.

I don't suppose you change
your mind about quitting.

I ain't changed my mind.

Then.

The devil take you.

What you young men today
know about loyalty,

spend years with the man and
then spread it out the window

like a water, tobacco.

All you got right now is
two Wranglers and me, Mr.

Hatcher. And I figured maybe if I go,

it'll stop you from killing yourself.

Running out me from my own good, huh?

Is that it?

You in that crazy route.

No one takes a herd through the
bad lands and you've had too

many bad years to pull
it off. You're jinxed.

You ain't the end of the world.

Here.

I could be another remade another man.

With why you can't afford to
pay like the other ranchers

anymore and it's too late in
the season to move cattle.

Look, why don't you sell out
and sit down a few years?

You could use a rest.

I'll rest when I'm in my grave.

Mr. Hatcher.

I hope it is later rather than sooner.

Matthew.

Hatcher. Huh?

Two persons.

Two persons.

From Chief Ney Band.

Huh?

Not that skinny little toe
headed kid with freckles and

Adam's apple that always
looked like he was eating

something. I never.

Thought of myself in those ways, but yes.

Well.

I'll be,

you should have changed
something since I I seen you.

Tell me, how long has it been?

I was 10 years old then.

Household. He, you know, I
was thinking on him just two,

three days ago. He's.

Dead. Mr.

Hatcher horse soldiers.

Seems to be reaching the age
and news of old friends dying

comes too often.

Mr. Hatcher, this is my
brother Quentin Bodin.

Seems to recall mention of him,

but everyone thought you was dead.

Well, it took a few years, but
I finally caught up with him,

proved otherwise.

Well, I'm sure glad you did.

Glad to meet you Quentin.

Hey, wasn't there a sister?

Two persons?

She's still with a
Cheyenne Iron Hawks Band.

Iron Hawk.

Tough as his name.

Are you two planning on bringing her back?

Because if you are, he'll
put up a hell of a fight.

We'll fight if we have to.

We think we know where they made camp,

but we're headed that way now.

Well look, look, hold on Abit,

I got a herd going out in a few
days up to Pueblo, Colorado.

If I could use some good men,

most others have signed on
with other outfits and gone

north. Look, I can pay.

$20 And a share.

That could work out pretty
good at the other end.

Any other time, Mr.

Hatcher? Thank you.

Well, I sure could use you.

We, we.

Plan to spend the night in Red
Bluffs and then leave first

thing in the morning.

It is important we just stop to say hello.

Ah, you're sure?

Yes, thank you.

But if you should happen
to be in town tonight,

we could have food together. Ah.

Thanks. Just the same.

Hey Mr.

I cured. Found them horses
and gave 'em brand new shoes.

You owe me 50 cents a piece more.

Here's two bits.

Go buy yourself five beers Mr.

I'm a peaceable man.

But you ain't making it easy.

What?

I just So would you mind doing that again.

For price?

I might do anything.

How much to board 'em overnight?

Two bits in advance so I don't
have to do to you what I did

to them.

And that's each, that's.

A little bit high, isn't it?

He'll get grooming and a measure of green.

I'd say they need it.

No more than I do friend.

Oh, he threw his right front chute.

Come on.

You know I'm so hungry.

I don't know whether to eat
first and then take a bath or

vice versa.

Here. It's, this is the one I did today.

Tom.

Tom.

It's a lifelike.

It's a whole story here.

And that man, you can
just feel him hurting,

wanting to be free.

Do you really see all that in there?

Ah, Beth, Beth, you're so beautiful.

All it.

I wouldn't go no further if Iji wakeley.

I've heard that speech before
and I know just what you're

leading up to. Now, BES might
think it fine to marry you,

but I see it different.

Quiet.

Pretty pictures. Never
put no food on the table.

He can't even take care of
himself unless a wife or a baby.

Oh wait a minute. Bess ley.

You take your.

Paper and your pencils and
you find yourself a job.

Well you fell still here. No,

there ain't no doctor in this
town. In case you catch pmo.

Well, I happen to be a doctor
and you don't catch pmo.

I'm taking a bath. Yeah.

My arms ache so bad.

Catch 'em when hauling.

Tell me it ain't no Sunday.

Picnics falling us boiling water.

Hey now look son, there's
no need for you to do that.

Whew.

Well you sure made a mess, didn't you?

Suppose I have to clean up
after your little target

practice.

There's nothing like a man who's grateful.

I here tell any buster worth
the salt can break a green

horse while calmly
rolling the cigarette. Oh.

Well that's wrap my friend.

But when he's finished he
lights up and has a smoke.

Can an.

Irishman get a drink
around here? Come on Doug.

Gimme a whiskey.

For those of you who don't
know me, the name's Hatcher.

I got 1500 head needing
to move up to Pueblo.

I can pay $20 in a share.
That's short up front.

Long in the end.

Any takers,

Amos, you how you like working for that?

Four Flusher Ames. Sorry.

Mr. Hatik, but we're offered
a better job working for him.

I always give you fair treatment. We know.

That Mr. Rames offered more pay.

Will you tell Mr.

Ames next time you see him
to keep outta my way? See,

I suppose you're going
over to aim too. Ah.

Yes.

Because you push everyone too.

Hard. I don't push anyone any
harder than I push myself.

And that.

Is too hard.

No one will work for you anymore.

Oh.

Man. Anybody else talks to me that way.

I kill 'em.

I think the bath first was a
good idea. I'm not so sure.

Let's eat

Mr. Hatcher.

Trooper.

When.

You came after all.

Well, I'm not what you
call fed company tonight.

Two persons, but you're welcome
if you want to sit down.

Do you have something to eat with us?

I've had something.

Thanks Doug. What do you have?

I'll have a beer and supper
for both of us eats are over

there. And I'll you the views.

I'll get it. Go ahead and visit.

I just lost my ram. Run to another ranch.

Oh, Ms.

Daes.

I figured you'd show up sooner or later.

You drunk or just looking for trouble.

Like always not drunk enough
to stand for all of my men

being hired away by you.

Your dead hatcher only.
You don't know it yet.

Why don't you go and find
yourself a hole and lay in it.

Mr. Hatch on a minute.

Morgan, get outta here.

I was only protecting myself.

Everybody here don't touch about it.

I looks like he's finished. No he is not.

I'm a doctor. Get everybody outta here.

Get back, play ball almost.

Send me my gun. I'll give
this to the sheriff now.

Get outta here.

Come on. Boom.

Make a couple of tables under that light.

Aren't that steep enough?
Gimme some pressure here.

Is bleeding too much?

Easy. Easy.

Alright, gimme the bi mystery.

The B mystery. Which one is it?

Sorry? It's the flat one.

Thin flat one.

How.

Did it happen? He names got into it.

I'll kill names for this. The
sheriff is taking care of it.

You know Mr. Hatcher,

how many years you can stay
around if you're gonna be

useful? Hold him down.

You can't risk him waking up and moving.

Give it a prob.

Will.

He live?

I don't know that

Bud entered his left side and
it's right next to his spine.

Now.

If I can get it out and if I
don't paralyze him doing it,

you gotta don't talk to me right now.

Yeah.

I don't think I would like to be a doctor.

You should live with one.

Bartender. Gimme a table
cloth that's clean.

Something we can use for
rags. Make sure it's clean.

Tearing the strips two inches wide.

Well.

Your ticker sounds all right.
I think you're gonna make it.

Thought. June two boys was all
fired, set and getting north.

We were until you got
yourself into trouble.

I guess I was out of
order one of these days.

My temper's going to get me buried.

Sorry. Sight.

I I seem to you this way too. Persons

not like the man you met
when, when he was 10.

No.

The man I met when I was 10

would never have felt sorry for himself.

Well, who's got a better ride?

What you've seen today is all
that's left of me in my life.

The shot up battered rule of bad.

And a ranch ain't no better.

Laden is taking effect. Just
let yourself go to sleep.

10 years, 15 years ago, he was

the best in the territory.

Had me, my Mrs.

Then and a boy

and the whole world outside my to stoop.

Where are they now? Mr.

Hatcher buried

outside my doorstep.

Last hour winter of 68.
November the 11th, 6:40 PM

son Carl was next, was
teaching him to brand a steer.

Got his head store no good for nothing.

He was only nine.

Shut that stairs six times,

crying all the time.

How did things get so bad Mr. Hitcher?

After my family died,
I sort of went to seed.

By the time I come out of
it, I was too far gone.

Drove too hard, was too scared.

No way to make up for it.

But banks gone with me as far as it'll go.

Well, I don't make this
drive and I lose everything.

The ranch, that's the end of me.

You can bury me out
there. My wife and son.

My life will have gone for nothing.

Mr. Hatcher.

I do not know much about cattle.

But maybe we could find others
who do and we could help you

on this drive.

Only thing is, you know how far I got.

I try to hire man.

Well.

There must be men who need work.

I will find them. Could I talk
to you for a second outside?

Are you thinking about That's
two months work. At least.

When I was 10 years old,
we had a very bad when.

I don't want to hear your past
history. There was no game.

Finally, even for the wolves,
I'm not gonna like this.

Everyone went to sleep hungry
and cold and some of the old

people and children began to die off.

I think I began to die with them.

And one day this man came in
on a horse and 12 steers and

he, he warmed his hands by our
fire and then he rode away.

He never even asked for
a payment or thanks.

All he said was a near
froze to the saddle.

Getting him up here.

Do not aim to take him back down.

You don't figure I even that
score up by patching him up.

I will only offer myself, Quentin.

I have to do what I can to help him.

Would you even like me if I did otherwise?

No.

We'll try Mr.

Hatcher.

You cannot think of anyone
that will work for you.

Not since Santos left me.

Unless we're forced to scrape
the bottom of the barrel.

I think we.

Are.

Well as the Smitty. The stables Tucker.

He's older now, but maybe he had it once.

Anyway.

I hear Walter Lucas is back in
town and there's the janitor

of the bathhouse cooler.

I don't want to think anymore.
I'm getting depressed.

I can see that. You know,
and you care about horses,

but do you know anything about cattle?

Cattle?

I'm probably the best black
cowboy that ever rubbed his legs

raw on the drive.

Believe it or not.

It's all up to you.

Where'd you do all this cowboy?

A ranch in Texas.

I was born there after that
great wonderful war that they

talked about.

I took my freedom and went
where I wasn't a black man that

was on the trail drive and I worked hard,

but I become the best serious.

Now I don't pay much attention
to this black and white

business, but it's always
nice to have the best.

How would you like to come along now?

The pays not much out
front. It's only $20.

But with a share by the end of the drive,

you could do real good
for yourself. Maybe $50.

$50.

Are you running stolen cattle? Of what?

No. No.

Hatchers drive.

You mean old man Hatcher?

Yeah, they, they say
he's jinxed or something.

Now if that worries you.

Jinx, all you gotta do
is step out on the trail.

Luck and God kiss you goodbye.

A man can get stampeded,
drown, dragged gourd, stomp,

frozen and fried all in one day.

Jinx. Every day is a jinx.

Hey, he's having trouble
finding men, ain't he?

What? What makes you think that?

You're.

Asking me ain't you?

You're figuring I'm too old.

I'm asking ya.

I'll go.

I show these people around
here. I ain't no stable boy

Mr. Lucas.

That's right.

Then we talk.

Got more important things to do. Boy.

This is important.

I usually only say things one time.

It is about Matthew Hatcher.

You gonna live?

I think maybe so. Yes.

Come on up. Boy.

I wasn't planning on no spec. Peter.

Yeah, I don't pay you to talk Fran.

Get up.

Oh, want a drink?

Boy, I refusing.

Mr. Hatcher says that.

12 Years ago you were the
best wrangler on his ranch.

Hmm.

I was.

Then I left Tacher and I,

I signed on with one of
them outfits in a range war.

Killed a couple people. The
line of duty, I guess you'd say.

Now it never seems to stop.

Last kid trying to prove
himself of 17, 18 years old.

I guess.

Well if there's nothing more I,

that got me a close
personal relationship. Mr.

Hatcher needs help.

Boy, I can't even help myself.

He is taking 1500 steers on
the drive and no one will help

him.

Yeah, I heard he's had a bad run of luck.

A long run.

Mr. Lucas.

He needs you bad

say Matthew ever tell
you how he helped me.

Well he wouldn't.

He's not the type.

He's a one man in the
world. I owe something to.

Where's this drive end up anyway?

Pueblo.

Pueblo. That's when I went to Chicago.

That's cold.

Well.

Sorry Fran. Guess I'm out of the mood.

Well I ain't, here you go girl.

Take care of yourself.

Well,

I guess this time I quit playing
a bad guy and went on back

to see my family. Yeah.

Mr. Hatcher said that you
used to ride Chuck Wagon.

I used to do a lot of things.

Would you be interested in
going on another cattle ride?

Well, son, the best outfits of my time.

And I was paid real proper too.

Of course I had a lot of dignity back then

before the bottle got to me in old age.

But drunk or sober, I could
feed a man and keep him happy.

We need a cook.

But you have to stay sober.

I'll give it a try.

Hi sweetheart.

You ready? Yeah.

Gloria.

Well I, I've never looked before.

Well, neither have I.

Neither have I. I got just a few things.

You don't have time for all my stuff.

Oh, gimme your hand.

Taking everything you own. Well,

you don't expect me to open
what I have on, do you?

Yes I do.

What's going on here? Nothing bother.

This what I think it is. No wakeley.

Is that you out there,
you know good for nothing.

Squirrel. Where's my gun father?

Don't

Mr. Hatcher have your drovers.

Bring them over.

They are.

All there. Tucker.

Stature.

Cooler.

Look's been a long time.

Yeah. Longer.

Longer for me and you. I reckon.

This is all you got. Well there.

Are two more. But they
will join us on the trail.

So you're all gonna do me a big
favor by going on the drive.

Are you?

Let me tell you something.
You ain't doing me no favor.

I sure ain't doing you one.

All of you've been on drives before,

but you most likely forget
what they was like a thousand

miles and nothing except dirt
and grit and hate and sore

bottoms and aches and places
you wish you didn't have.

I said we wasn't going to do
one another no favor as well.

Maybe I was wrong about that.

'cause yesterday at this time,

I wouldn't have given myself
a chance in hell of ever

getting this drive gone.

And now looking at you,

I figure we're all gonna make
it because we've gotta make it

'cause we've got nothing to
look forward to except the end

of the drive Pueblo.

And because there ain't
nothing here for any of us.

Nothing.

Sign him up.

Mr. Hatcher.

Huh?

I'm wakeley. You remember me?

I was sketching over at
the corral the other day.

Yeah, I remember.

Thomas r Wakeley Jr.

I would sure appreciate it if
you'd take me along with you

on your drive.

The sooner the better.

Well, Mr.

Thomas Wakeley Jr. Judging by your dress,

you wouldn't know the hind
end of a cow from the druer.

What makes you think you're a cowboy?

Well, I'm, I'm a real hard worker.

There's no reason why I
can't dress differently.

I learned real fast.

After all. I, I am a ail man.

Well, Mr.

Yale, man, whatever that is,

put your signature on the
book and let's see if it's

legible.

Yes sir.

What's that cooler?

What do you got here? I
thought we had a deal.

Well these, some driving wagon I'm doing.

You brought your promise. I
haven't been sold in 20 years.

Clean Now wait a minute. Wait, look.

Hey now wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

I'll take care of this myself.

I'm go to the bathhouse. This is the bath.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

My boots, I boots.

You took care of that
hat. Now you understand.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Oh we don't have time for this.

It's worse than I remembered.

You getting better.

A saddle on two person's pony.

I never thought it'd see the day.

Guess.

Well we'll take some getting
used to this cowboying.

Nice.

Pair of shafts, Quentin.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Who's in charge here?

But yeah, we heard in town
that you're taking out a drive.

You hear what the pay is.

Yeah.

We heard you had any experience
as much as anyone around

here has you wanted for anything.

Well in these parts it's usual
not to ask questions like

that. But I'll answer you.

We ain't wanted and we're not
running and we'll cause you no

trouble.

What we want is the work, Jesse.

That's right. We need to pay you.

Sign up for Mr. Hatcher.

He's in the house.

Come on.

I know, but we do need them.

You all right?

Fancy pants. Don't make a cowboy.

Arbuckle.

I'd rather brand Billy Don's
hind end than the steer.

You wanna try again?

I'm gonna have some work with him.

He had no cause to do that.

I think Wakeley can
take care of it himself.

Just does not know that yet.

Well now maybe you
don't want to try again.

All alright McKay, let's get.

This straight right now.

You want me to take you apart
in front of all these man?

Now you, you knew at his arm buck.

But I want to tell you
it hurts when Billy Don.

Hit.

I think you're all mouth.
You Kenneth now you sat.

This is between him and
me. Yeah, he is right.

He's right.

Let's go.

He ain't nothing but come
on. Let, let's go now.

Come on Billy. Don.

That's it. Wait, come on Billy.

Don. Don't just look at him.

Hit him it.

Come.

Get up.

Get up.

Is that enough?

Is the fighting over now?

Good.

You have work to get back to.

Hey McKenna? Yeah.

Let me ask you something.

What's.

That?

Arbuckle, what's it mean

to what? I ain't gonna call you no more.

Alright, come on.

Give 'em to me.

Officer. Put these back here.

Would you wait a minute.
I've only got two hands.

Well,

Hatcher wants to have him
with the Brandy Mavericks on a

trail. Ah, calm down cooler.

Now if you look at it this way,

you could have been bitten by
that snake. My brother shot.

Ah, either way the snake would've done it.

You all right?

Yeah.

Got a rash.

It'll take a few days to
get over. But meanwhile,

Quentin has some sap.

Sounds wonderful.

How you feeling?

It's good. One thing straight.

I don't want you around. Nurse Maiden.

You're here to push cows not to push me.

Just do what I tell you to do.

I won't push it.

I got you.

You an extra supply of laud in
them and some bullets for you

to bite on.

I don't need no bullets
as long as I got this.

We're going to head northeast,

join the goodnight 11 trails
to the Colorado bad land,

then straight up to Pueblo. We have.

To cross 'em.

Yeah, I've been up to them bad lands.

I swore I'd never go bad.

I've heard they can kill you.

They can, but we're not gonna let 'em.

I've been Indian uprisings.

But we go around the extra 300 miles.

We'll miss the market and none
of us will get any shares.

I ain't a quitter.

I don't want to hear no talk
of quitting from you neither.

You.

Learn fast out there.

You'll prove up, you'll show up.

Well what are you waiting for?

Get beat. Be.

Prove it.

You are. Yeah.

Get out.

Mr. Hatcher.

Mr. Hatcher.

Mr. Hatcher.

Hold up for stop. Go.

Stop, go.

What do you want?

What are you doing here? I.

Have an amulet.

What's that?

Jinx cannot harm me.

An ambulance.

I suppose you got drunk.

Spend all of that 30 busting
dollars in some stove up.

Woman, you coming.

Someone.

Has to be there to bury.

You.

No, we'll see who buries.

Who?

What are you doing? Stand there.

Gotta work.

Ambulance.

Who? Cattle.

Let's go

up.

Hey Mr. Cooler smells real good.

Good. Yeah.

Some of those air tight cans
get corn and you know a little

more. It'll be here when.

You come back. When
you do what I tell you.

Yes sir. Alright, come on,
come on, come on, come on.

Who's here? I can't point
it out to you exactly.

When you get your, come outta your food.

Scott, you got.

A spot?

Say Tucker. Who.

Else is gonna eat?

You ever been on a drive before?

Wait a minute. That's my.

How many drives you been on?

Two or three.

That was before.

Before?

Yeah. Before I started using my gun.

I had my wife in and I dragged
her and the kid from place to

place. No roots.

Nowhere.

My wife was getting near
the end of the line.

When I got slapped in jail
for two years, I got out.

I heard that she'd been
working, being friendly to men,

supporting the kid, you know

was Hatcher found out and he
paid her fares back to Chicago

and I I never been able to catch up since.

Is that why you took this job?

Yeah.

You might say it's a new start.

So you know Tucker, I've
been thinking this here.

Drive ends up in Pueblo.

There ain't no reason why
I can't make a go of it in

Chicago.

I'd get my wife and daughter
back and I'd never leave again.

I'll tell you that. I'd never leave again.

She wouldn't be lonesome
like she was before.

I'd get me a house,

be with civilized folks and
have friends over and don't you

think that'd make her happy?

I don't see how it
wouldn't make anyone happy.

Yeah.

Nothing.

Fancy mind you. But just
a nice house in town.

Now me, I got my eyes on a
piece of old land in New Mexico.

I can get it real cheap.

Worst piece of land in the country.

Nobody wants it that way.

Everybody will leave
the soul boy all alone.

Amen brother. Amen.

Lay it down.

Time it just Right little brother

and the hair grows back
from put on our own brand.

We're done. About a dozen Jeff now.

Ain't that enough? We looking so scared.

I know lots of big ranchers
started out this way.

Yeah, Pappy got himself
killed starting out this way.

And like Hatcher steal a few
cows from each other and it's

okay.

They call it enterprising
because it's amongst friends.

Peppy wasn't their
friend so they hung him.

They were trial and nothing.

We're gonna code. Ran a couple dozen more.

Pull out quiet one night,
put our own brand on them.

Beavs.

And they ain't never
gonna prove rusting on us.

Come on, let's go.

You just gotta be a little
smarter than everybody else.

Billy dying. That's all.

Hey bunch quitter. I'll get
you back on moving forward.

Ready to go.

He is dead.

His next broken.

Bam.

I don't believe in jinx.

This is an awful way to start off.

This is just the beginning, Quentin.

When we get to Pueblo,

I will send Lucas's wife
and daughter this year.

Huh?

Not much consolation though. Is it

strange?

I think you'll never enjoy anything again.

Cup of coffee.

A woman.

Sunrise.

I have the feeling that

Lucas would rather have had
it like this than be shot down

in an alley somewhere.

Yeah.

Hey, two persons got another.

Double A put it in with the others.

Tell Hatcher.

All right,

you didn't have nothing.

Got any complaints?

I always got complaints.

Jess. My brother's still
on watch out there.

He's out on it now you think
about going back out yourself.

I'm thinking about it.

Mr. Hatcher.

We.

Brought in another
double a straight today.

Remember Dalton Ames man would
shot me and hide all my hands

away.

That's his outfit. Double A.

His boys brought a herd through
here but two months ago,

early in the season.

Keep him with ours.

I'll settle him in. Pueblo.

Want to see his face
naked? Give him the money.

Seven for my commission. Aggravation.

After what he did to you.
You will do him this favor.

Two persons. Just 'cause I hate his guts.

Don't mean I don't have no honor.

Where were you? McKennon?

It's your watch.

Have a good time. Well why
don't you go join the fun.

Save some five for you.

Hey look at this.

You know Wakely, if I had your talent,

I sure wouldn't be out
here. Nurse mating cattle.

You say that.

I tell you there's something
about this kinda life which

I've never experienced anything like it.

What I hope to do with these
drawings is show the city

people what it's really like out here.

I mean it, it's hard
grimness of death but also

all this open space feeling of freedom.

Anyway, that's what I'm trying
to get in these pictures.

I don't know.

I've seen a lot of photographs
of dead men before,

but they all look like they were asleep.

But that picture shows you death.

You can feel it.

Thanks Tucker.

You know son, you're right.

I mean a cowboy worth his
spurs that want to end up in a

boot hill or a cemetery.

He'd want the open spaces.

And.

This guy for a blanket.

Old man, Hatcher's taking him pretty hard.

He always has.

I was with Hatcher on his last
drive at the footing place on

a, so we lost most of the herd.

The water was bad, the
cattle drank and died.

And on the way home, two men
were struck by lightning.

You're still riding with him?

Yes. Why do you suppose that is?

Santos, why are you here?

I have my reasons.

I owe him a lot. So do I.

I promised.

Promised myself I'd never
ride with Hatchet again.

But here I am.

He pushes too hard. He yells at you.

He tells you you aren't worth
anything and you can hate him

but you go along.

Maybe it's because he
went so badly to make it.

Maybe it's because he needs
you but doesn't know how to say

it.

Didn't.

I tell you?

I know they have been
following us for days.

Well.

Why don't you up there talking to 'em.

'cause it is not yet time for talk.

I know them. And for now we wait.

Just let the herd move on ahead.

I ain't just gonna sit here
and little pick us off.

Hey, we could take 'em easy.

I say we just.

Wipe 'em out.

Make one move for that rifle
and I will shoot you myself.

Look, Arapahoe

keep still.

Just their way of testing
it. See display of strength.

You're.

Sure they're not trying
to spook the cat? No,

it's us there trying to scare.

I think it's working

brother. Warn you now.

Put it away.

Wait, we wait.

To all outfits.

This man is a good engine.

Treat him right and you will
have no trouble driving through

his land.

Dalton Ames.

Two persons cut at them
because of the double A brand.

Hey, cooler.

Imagine Ames face when he finds
out he's feeding the whole

tribe of rabbit hole. This winter, huh?

Cooler. Get moving.

Get here.

What's happening?

What the hell are you doing?

I'm doing the best I can

behind us.

Ah.

Waking in trouble.

Keep it steady. Cooler
tied off now Morgan.

That's it. Now come on cooler.

Keep it steady again. Oh Morgan, hold on.

Come on.

Hurry.

The horse is turned. Turn.

Oh.

You all right Tucker.

Stay down.

Stay down.

This's back.

Tucker, your back is hurting.

I lay down.

Is that too hot?

Oh.

It feels fine.

What does it do?

He never knows but it always works.

Might even grow some hair on your head.

When we started out,

I didn't give a hoot and
a holler about any of you.

But you've proved up.

You're all good men.

I think you're beginning to know it now.

You helped me get my herd through.

Your shares are doubled.

Thank you sir. Thanks Mr.

Hatcher. Mr.

Tucker. Yeah.

I just want to thank you for
what you've done for me today.

You are welcome Mr. Cooler.

Where's my coffee?

We're waiting for the snow to fly.

Gimme the coffee some doctor.

Stay and have a doll of yourself.

How many years we known each other?

Too many.

Just a minute. I ain't
through with you yet.

I remember the first time I
seen you just hanging onto your

mama's skirts and balling your
eyes out like I was going to

eat you alive.

Better have been smart.
I would've run away then.

About five, six years or whatever.

All kids look the same to me.

Is this going somewhere
or can I get back to work?

Your mama worked me 15, 20 years.

I brought you up with my boy.

I all treat you like a son, didn't I?

Yes, you treated us both
the same but I forgave you.

Why are you so smart?

Ay.

It's only outta self-defense.

Oh.

Well what I'm trying to get at
is my ranch is the only home

you've ever known And what
I'm also trying to get at is I

ain't going to live forever.

And what I'm saying is
when this drive is over,

will you come back with me
and be part of my house?

I didn't hear that.

When I am dead the ranch will be yours.

That was the first time I
ever seen you with your mouth

shut. Huh?

Well.

I would like that.

I didn't hear you.

I said yes.

Go on,

get outta here and don't go
telling everybody what we're

talking about.

I wouldn't want 'em to know
I had a half rate for a son.

You gotta pull out soon, Jess.

Worry.

You get over before you.

Tie.

There's a water hole ahead.

Three men can't play.

Squatter happens every drive I take.

So no good worthless scum.

Stakes out a waterhole and
tries to charge you for it.

I ain't never paid them. I ain't going to.

Now what.

Do you want to do about it? You.

Better go back to the
herd and hold 'em there.

They mustn't get a smell of
that water without Trump.

I was trying to get to it.

Bring him up a hundred at a
time cooler and I'll go ahead

and take care of the squatters.

I'll send Quentin to help you.

I ride ahead of the first
hundred to make sure there's no

trouble.

Leave me alone cooler.

Alright.

They're only kids.
Don't let that fool you.

We could shoot better than most grown men.

This is free land. No more.

Ain.

Cost you $20 to water here.

$20.

Well if that ain't the bulls behind,

I don't wanna talk to you
no more. Give me a father.

We ain't got none. And
if you don't talk to me,

you don't talk to no one.

I ought to blow all of you young.

Ones. Clean apart.

You won't man.

Like you ain't got the
heart to shoot children.

We might shoot you.

You're bluffing.

You're squatting on this
land. Don't we need business

Now Those men there might
not shoot you little man,

but I will.

But.

Go on drop 'em.

That's right.

We just come along and found
this here. Old waterproof.

We needed money so we squatted.

You got no family and no place to go.

We had our part till a month ago.

We went to bring supplies
and never come back.

Either he ran off on us
or got himself killed.

That don't make no nevermind.
We can always get by.

That's what worries me.

Can't lock us up in jail.

We're too young.

And you're right about that.

Sure. Hate to turn you loose on the world.

Don't see us. You have much choice do you?

Since me? We ain't got no choice.

You'll take my advice.

You'll stick to the legalities from now.

On.

I thank you for your advice sir.

You know it seems to me
like you might give us some.

Money for our traveling.

Seems how we are.

Poor orphans.

They are just wolf pups now I
can imagine them in five or 10

years.

We shouldn't have left the herd. Jess.

They're gonna miss us. Will you
shut up with your belly ing?

That's awful. Jumpy.

What with them wolves.

By the time anyone comes to take over,

watch will be long gone.

Hatcher shorthanded as is.

He won't trail out after us
for the sake of a few head.

I just don't like what we're doing.

I mean Hatcher and them, they've
all been real good to us.

Put that iron down. McKinnon now.

Quinn.

Yeah.

Quinn. You heard him?

Just put it.

Down. That's a person's look.

Now look,

I ain't gonna make no excuses
for what we've done here.

Just let us go.

No, I cannot do that.

You signed on with Hatcher,
you're gonna talk to Hatcher.

I don't name to be the guest
about no hanging. Just wait.

Just now.

Go fire that guy.

They go.

There shotgun six ways to Sunday.

Gonna take us at least
a day to round them up.

I know there are at least a
hundred scattered to the east.

Let's keep moving.

I I brown my brother.

There.

Wasn't much.

Much left.

To bear it.

Let's take these here.

Feeling better. Just getting better.

That axle grease seems to work.

Look like we got two
doctors in the family.

Sure do.

Hey, s how is it?

Hey horses still missing
and mine's worn out.

Never seen no like
going from bed to worse.

Right on down the line.

So ain't you got one of them?

Paper and saints to take care
of things at times like this.

I've been thinking maybe we're
all being tested. You know

the saints, they don't like
to interfere in these things.

Well either I'm a great doctor
or you're a piece of leather

hatcher.

Yeah.

McKinnon is dead.

Oh stampede.

The fact is Mr. Hatcher Clinton and,

and two persons caught
me in Jess Cole, Brandon,

Jess wouldn't have it any
other way but to shoot it out,

that's what started the stampede.

Do anything I can to pay you back. I I,

I finished the drive with no pay.

Ever in my life. Worked a man without pay.

Sorry about your brother.

Well it wasn't you Mr.
Hatcher, the rusting.

He just had all, all this hate in him.

Ever since they hung Pappy.

Go get yourself some food
or cooler. Get insulted.

Yes sir.

Join you.

Waitley.

He's still riding hard.

Haven't seen him around
Fred. We'd lost him too.

Nobody knew.

It is not time yet.

It's warm.

In. Food is still warm.

I'm all right.

But from where I sit you didn't sleep.

Yes, I did a few minutes call in.

I know you're thinking you
can't go another step today.

Maybe you're wondering
about tomorrow as well.

But I'm saying you can go
another step and another and

another after that.

You can go as far as you have
to because I am saying it and

it's Gus.

I don't want to hear no
bellyache and I just want to hear

grunts from you trying.

Is that clear?

Yeah.

We've gone more than halfway
so it don't make no sense of

trying turn around and go back.

There's one thing I will do for you.

I'll stick to the regular trial.

Doesn't that put an extra month on.

It?

I thought you said it.

Would make us late for the market.

Well maybe there was a
little bit of greed talk.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

What now what happens if we
just follow your route right

through.

The bad land?

Well we gotta push and push
and push until we get to the

other side and water.

40 hours of hard driving. We all.

Got a stake in this.

Quicker we get that hurt to
Pueblo, better we get paid.

Right.

That's.

You know,

my granddaddy used to say
trust in the Lord but I don't

trust in nobody but us.

Alright somebody come on and
help me up on that horse.

Alright then.

Let's get, huh?

Alright, let's go.

Mr. Hatch.

Are you, you might just have a chance.

Quad outlasting year J

We are near out of water.

We better keep moving.

You know cattle is unruly.
When they're thirsty.

Sometimes they go blind.

No more water to cook with.

No one hungry couldn't even work up on us.

Spit the chew of biscuit.

Well this is the end of,

I know a horse once old Jake takes pony.

Smartest horse I ever see.

He wouldn't walk a watch war in two hours.

You had to stay out a little longer.

Had to ride back to camp Dismount.

Pull around a couple of
minutes mount up again.

See that way old Jake figured
you were taking on on new

turn.

Wasn't working overtime on the old one.

Damnest thing I ever see

Wakely.

Yes.

Can't keep my eyes on.

Well here,

try rubbing 'em with some bone,

tobacco juice that's gonna
burn like hell fire just that

way.

It should be here.

We could be lost.

Or maybe the landmarks have changed.

Wind, rain.

I've known just

one storm to change the
look of hundreds of miles.

I'll let the men rest soon.

Then I will look for the water again.

Who said it would be bad to die.

Right now? I would feel
nice and cool football.

God I love football.

I went to Yale to study art.

Hated the classes.

Only thing I was good at was football.

Played halfback.

The last game I played
it was against Princeton.

Six inches of mud.

A scoreless tie.

Oh God.

You should have been there.

You could play that game, you know.

Yeah some it will.

The.

Herd milling,

they smell water.

Water, yeah.

Ba water. Yes.

Gotta move the cattle there is water.

They drown themselves.

Going for the water.

Grab the water like it boys. Great.

That smells good. Your hat
rattle what's you're made of.

According to every
medical book I ever read,

you should be buried out there. So.

I think we should hole
up here for a few days.

Let you all get a rest. Get the cows,

get some meat in their bones
and cooler here. Cooler.

Yes. Cooler.

Why?

I ain't going in Next stop Pueblo.

Push him to the left.

Oh.

Whoa.

Oh.

Whoa.

Hold him up there. Whoa, come on.

Who does this to.

You?

I just don't drink. I can't wait.

To get back to.

Telling the folks at home. I got me a sun.

Now. Alright.

You.

Weren't so happy about having
it known when we were on the

trail.

A couple of these in me makes me liberal.

Hey.

Maybe with a couple of drinks of me.

I would rather not have
it known or have you for.

A father.

Ladies.

And gentlemen,

on behalf of the Cattleman's
Association of Pueblo,

I'd like to welcome you.

We.

Figured we'd seen the last of
these drives two months ago.

So in appreciation,

as soon as you've drunk all that you can.

We're turning the whole
hotel over to you. Oh.

Wakeley Telegraph.

Thank you Tucker. Hey Doug.

You still the Prince of Wales?
You gotta say Prince of wins.

You gonna stay on in town for the winter?

I know some outfits that need hands.

No. Winter works a whole lot
different than trail drive.

You knew how to play
this, how to play this.

I leave my, you wanna ride up with me?

Don't make no sense for me to
be sitting around town when I

can be making me some dollars.

Hold up there Tucker.

You're.

Getting too old to be working so hard.

I want you to come back to my ranch.

That's what stable boy.

I deserve more than that.

That's what I was saying.

I accept.

Hey, wait a minute everybody,
I got myself another job.

Oh, very good drink.

Yay. Great.

There's this magazine in the
east called Harper's Weekly and

I sent them whole of a slew
of my pictures a long time ago

and now be writes me and
tells me that they bought one.

Congratulations.

And you did some really
good work on a drive.

You could sell some of
those. Well, that's just it.

They wanna see more of my work.
It's just like I told you,

all the people in the east are
starting to be curious about

what it's like out west.

They should see it the way we
have seen it. Well, anyway,

I was talking to some of these
army boys over here and they

said that they're sending out
a detachment next week and I

thought maybe I could go along
with them and make some army

paintings. You know,
have, have another set.

Ready. Wait.

A minute, wait a minute.

The whole drive. All I
heard about was best,

best I love best. What about bass?

That's right. I forgot about that.

Yeah, I, I still, I
still love bes of course,

but I think her father was right. I,

I still have a lot more to learn
before I'm ready to go home

and settle down.

I'm going to write to her
and tell her that I love her.

Ah, who am I kidding?

I'm gonna marry her and
bring her along with me.

You're right. Who are you kidding me?

Quentin, I'm out.

Lemme buy you another beer.

I,

I never realized what those 12
steers hatch your left us in

that village would mean too.

I don't know about you
Morgan, but I feel real good.

I do not think we will feel
so good about it tomorrow

morning.

Come on all of you. Come over here.

Gather around.

Well y'all got your $20 and
another $30 share beside that's

pretty good money in my book.

It certainly remember boys
way back in Red Bluffs.

I said we was gonna make it
because we didn't have anywhere

to go.

Well now we got everywhere to go.

Now just don't hold it up to
me if you come looking for a

job again next year because I
don't want the folks back home

to know I've gone soft anyway.

It's been a pleasure.

And from now until you fall
flat in your ugly faces,

the drinks is on me.
