All language subtitles for YouTube The Cariboo Trail (Western, 1950) Randolph Scott, George Hayes, Bill Williams _ Movie, Subtitles

Canada, land
of majestic mountains

and frozen wastes, a
country rich in history,

in tradition and high adventure.

80 years ago, gold was
discovered in British Columbia

and men came from every part of

the United States and Canada.

They found a land of tall
timber and rushing torrents

and a torturous trail
along the Fraser River,

the only entry to
the gold country.

The Cariboo Gold Rush like
all other gold rushes passed

into history but the
sun that had set on

the deserted gold creeks
was to rise again on

the great cattle empire of
Central British Columbia

where the ranchers
of the Cariboo

and Chilcoltin stand today.

This is the story of a man
with a dream of cattle,

a man who helped
to build a nation,

his name was Jim Redfern and
he rode the Cariboo Trail

into the Chilcoltin country.

Next time one of
these crazy steers falls

off the trail, he stays off.

- I've heard you say that before

but you always pull them up.

- Well, I won't anymore.

We've been held up long
enough by these bunch

of scarecrows you
call a cattle herd.

The trouble with you, Mike,
you've got the gold fever

so you can't see anything else.

So have a few
thousand others who

came up here ahead of us.

You'd like a little gold
yourself wouldn't you?

- That's why I'm here with you.

Then why did we have to drag
along these half-dead steers,

gold and cattle don't mix.

They mix as far
as I'm concerned.

I told you back in Montana
I'd go to the gold fields

with you but I also
told you I was going to

take the herd along.

Gold is secondary with me
Mike, a means to an end.

Now take a good cattle
ranch, the kind we hope

to have back in
Montana's what I-

- Giddy up!

- Hey take a look up there.

We'll have to count those
steers as they cross.

- What for?

You can read can't you,
this is a toll bridge.

- What's the charge?

50 cents a head for the
beef, a dollar for you

and your friend and two
dollars for the chuck wagon.

- Which one of you's Walsh?

Neither of us,
we work for him.

There's not enough water
in that stream to wet

a steer's ankle, I
could jump across this

thing you call a bridge.

I wouldn't try it
if I were you, mister.

It's a hold up, you pay
or you don't pass here.

Well, now since you've
put it that way, Mike.

- Trouble, boss?

Have we had anything
else since we left Montana?

Four to two ain't such bad odds.

- Four to three.

Let's see, a herd of six
of cattle, $18, two for us,

two for the chuck...

No, we're not shelling out
to cross that dinky bridge.

- Now you're talking, let's go.

Wait a minute, I got a
better idea, go get off.

- Take a look at that bridge.

Come on, we'll saddle
up, you stay here.

- Whoa!

- Whoa.

Land of friendly
people, hospitality.

Well, there are people
like that in Montana too.

Actually, you enjoyed
that little party.

So did you, you were
like the old Jim Redfern.

Ah, this prospecting
could be fun if we didn't

have those 36 steers with us.

- 35, lose one.

- Good.

You mustn't say that,
Mike, if it hadn't been

for the cattle at the bridge
we might not be here now.

Ah, here we go again, if it
hadn't been for the cattle.

- Cows on the Cariboo Trail?

The caribous ain't
going to like it.

Howdy neighbor.

- Hi.
- Heading north?

- Is there any other way to go?

Not if you're heading
for the gold fields.

This is the Cariboo Trail,
mister, broken heart,

forever rot, dead
man, forever dream.

Where you from?

- Montana.

- Montana, hey?

Well, I've got a
brother up there,

rancher like yourself.

I could have been one only
I got the itch for gold.

Been everywhere,
California, Goldfield,

Virginia City, Otter Gulch.

- Hadn't found it yet, huh?

Oh, sure, I struck
it rich lots of time.

Well, not too rich
maybe, but gold.

Maybe this time I'll
hit her for sure.

Come on Hannibal.

Howdy there, Confucius.

- Name Ling.

Mine's Grizzly, ain't
really my name but that's

what everybody calls me
on account I wrestled

a grizzly bear once.

I won too or I
wouldn't be here now.

Oh, say I hear a little
spell of shooting

a few minutes back.

Spot of trouble?

- Nothing to speak of though.

- Oh, toll bridge, huh?
- Yeah.

Ah, I don't blame you
for not wanting to pay.

Fine pass when a man can
charge folks for crossing

over a little trickle of water.

Hey, that's a nice
wagon you got there,

mind if I ride on her a spell?

My feet get a little
mite tired sometimes.

Hold Hannibal will you, son.

Well come on, what are
we waiting for here?

Giddy up!

Yes, sir, she's
just about ready.

Just a little mite more
season maybe, salt Confucius.

- Name Ling.

- Oh, yeah so you said.

Common name in China ain't it?

Don't know, me born
in San Francisco.

- Is that so?

Never been sonny,
great country, sonny.

Spent some time there
myself a little while ago.

Yes, sir the Maharaji
of Hong Kong offered

to give me my choice
of his collection

of pigeon blood rubies for
the recipe for this here stew.

I wouldn't do it.

- Maharaji, Hong Kong.

Taste that neighbor and
you can tell your friends

you've ate the best.

Same for you, young feller.

Say, it's not bad, in
fact it's quite good.

- Good?

It's nectar with ambrosia
thrown in for good measure.

What hit us?

A man's life ain't never
safe around cattle.

Mike!

Mike?

- Oh my arm.

Get that fire going,
heat some water.

- You hurt?

Sorry, boss.

No, no, Jim, no,
no, no, no, Jim!

- We'd better rest awhile.

How you feel, Mike?

- I hope you're satisfied.

We'll have you to the doctors
now in just a little while.

Let me alone,
get away from me.

I don't ever want to see
you again as long as I live.

- Hey, hear that?

Stagecoach!

- Whoa, what's the trouble?

- We've got an injured man here,

he's got to get to
a doctor at once.

Ain't no doctor until
we get to Carson Creek

and that's 15 mile.

Another two or
three hours, huh?

You've been dragging
him like that?

- Well, we lost our horses.

Sure, we'll be
glad to help you.

- Good, Grizzly, Ling.

Oh Jim, I'll follow you
with Hannibal and the saddle.

Stagecoach is
going by the hotel.

Yeah, say that
Chinese on top was

with those cattlemen last night.

Stopping in front
of Dr. Rhodes' house.

Go and take a look.

- All right.

Careful there
men, careful now, careful.

- Is my boss still alive?

Yes but he's been unconscious
for the last two hours.

- What happened to your friend?

You're one of the men
from the toll bridge.

- That's right.

If I were you, mister I
wouldn't hang around here,

Walsh is pretty sore about
that bridge you broke down.

- Thanks, men.
- Glad to help.

Ling, you stay
here close to Mike,

I'll be back in a little while.

- I'll wait.

You think Mike be all right?

I don't think they'll
be able to tell us

for awhile but let's hope so.

Whiskey.

- From the States, eh?

- Isn't it good?

- It's quite good.

- Well, hello Francie.

Oh, how do you?

I beg your pardon,
my name is Walsh.

Well you're the chap that
brought in the injured man.

How'd that happen?

- You don't know, hey?

How would I know?

Thought maybe
somebody told you,

the man you were talking
to outside a minute ago.

The man outside,
that was Bill Murphy,

well how would he know?

- He works for you doesn't he?

Well he sort of takes care
of a toll bridge that...

Oh, it was your herd
of cattle that crossed

that bridge yesterday.

- Cattle in the Cariboo?

- Yes, the first ones up here.

They're mighty welcomed
too, you see we haven't

had a good beef
steak in a long time.

Tell me, would you
consider selling that beef,

the entire herd?

I can't sell
what I haven't got.

The herd was
stampeded last night.

- Stampeded?

Well, that's too bad.

By the way, you owe me for
that rope and toll bridge.

Send me a bill.

From his attitude,
you'd think I'd ran off

his two-bit herd.

- Well.
- Well, what?

- Didn't you?

- Well how could I?

You now perfectly
well I spent almost

the whole evening in this place.

Sure Frank but what about
the people who work for you.

Were they all here
last night too?

Now stop it Francie, I'm
not going to quarrel with you.

You told me you wanted a little
more time to think about me,

well, you've had a lot of time.

- Not enough.

I'm not the sort of
man you can push around.

I usually get what I want.

- Yes you do.

And I've got a big
investment in you.

Your place is the only
one of it's kind in town,

I haven't let
anyone else open up.

I haven't even tried
to start one myself.

Now look here, Frank
you own this town,

just about everything
and everybody in it

but I built this place
with my own money.

Now, now, now, now, now,
now, now Francie I said

I wasn't going to
quarrel with you.

But I'm not a very patient man.

- How'd it happen, Indians?

- I'm not quite sure.

That's not unusual
in this country.

Only usually it's a lone
prospector with a sack of gold.

Then they send for a
shovel, not a doctor.

- Can you keep Mike here?

I'll have to,
he can't be moved.

Ever been a nurse?

- I can try.

- Good, I'll need some help.

Stop by in the morning.

Thanks doctor, I'll
be here first thing.

- Fine, you come with me.

- Jim.

- Grizzly you made good time.

Hannibal can move pretty
fast when he wants to.

This time he wanted to.

How's Mike?

- Won't know for awhile.

Well, we might as well
eat while we're waiting

to find out.

My stomach's
crowding my backbone.

I haven't even thought
of food but you're right,

we haven't eaten
since last night.

I think these saddles will
solve our money problem.

Well where do we eat?

Well why that Gold Palace
there, it's good grub.

Walsh Mining Company,
Walsh Mercantile Company,

Walsh Trading Post.

I thought the name of this
town was Carson Creek.

- Ought to be Walsh City, huh?

- Yeah.

I passed through
here a time or two,

Walsh just getting started,
sure took over now.

Give me one of them, Jim.

- All right.

For sale one saddle
without a horse.

Two saddles
without two horses.

Have you tried
the livery stable?

- No.

Well don't you think
they'd be a better prospect

for a couple of saddles?

Probably but I don't like
the name on the livery stable.

Walsh, what's
the matter with it?

It's on too many
buildings around town.

I didn't see it on this place.

You won't either,
although I've had offers.

- I'm not surprised.

I suppose I could sell them
without too much trouble.

How much you think
they're worth?

- Oh, I'll leave it up to you.

Jim, we ain't had no supper
or even breakfast or lunch.

- Oh I know.

- We can soon fix that.

Al, two caribou steak dinners.

How about $20 a
piece, no make it $25.

You've just bought
yourself two saddles.

Them saddles
didn't go very far.

- No.

A new shirt for you, a
couple of blankets a piece,

ax, frying pan.

Walsh has got a
monopoly in Carson Creek.

He can charge anything he wants.

If I ever strike it
rich I'm going to open me

a trading post here and put
Mr. Walsh out of business.

Or apt to put
you out of business

with a bullet in your back.

You figure it was him
that started that stampede?

After what I've seen and
heard around town I'm ready

to believe he's
behind everything in

this part of the country.

Show yourself before
I start shooting.

- No shooting, me Ling!

Don't ever sneak into a
camp like that neighbor,

not up here in the gold
country where a feller

usually shoots first
and buries his mistakes.

What happened,
Ling, Mike isn't-

No, no, doctor said he
don't need me tonight.

That woman from town say
better nurse than Ling.

Woman nurse.

- How is Mike?

- He's asleep.

Where you get blanket?

In town, cost us
plenty, our saddles.

- You sold the saddle?

We had to, we're
up against it,

I've got to get some
sort of job and soon.

- Job?
- Yeah.

With gold in the
mountains all around us

just waiting for the finding?

Takes money to go
prospecting, we need equipment

and food and-

- $100 will outfit it.

Have you got $100?

Well since you ask me, no,
I ain't even got 100 cents.

- Yeah.

Maybe somebody
will grub stake it.

- Who, Walsh?

- Oh.
- I got $100.

- You, Ling?

Why we haven't paid you
any salary in months.

Saving money long
time, got $300.

You take.

- $300.

It must have taken you
years to save this money.

- What's different?

You pay doctor man, go prospecting,
find gold and get rich.

- All right, Ling I'll take it.

We'll outfit in the
morning and try our luck

but we go as partners,
share and share alike.

One for you and one for
me and one for Mike.

- Sure thing partner.

- Hey, how about me?

You fellas know gold
when you see it?

You know how to pan a stream?

You think nuggets just
jump into your pan

and holler hey I'm gold?

Uh-uh, neighbor,
it ain't that easy.

What I meant to say Grizzly
was we'll split it four ways.

- Now you're talking, partner.

- Get out of here.

Mike please, you've
got to listen to me.

I don't want to see you
again as long as I live.

- I'm going prospecting, Mike,

I'll find gold I'm sure of it.

I'll buy us the best herd
of cattle in all of Canada.

We'll have that ranch
we talked about.

You and your rotten
cattle, I wanted to sell out

in Montana and you wouldn't.

You had to drag those
rotten cattle along.

I'll remember that, I'll
remember that as long as I live.

Mike you don't know
what you're saying.

Get away from me,
get out of here!

Mr. Redfern,
please, he's very ill.

I'm sorry Redfern, he's in
no condition for excitement.

I know but I'm leaving
town for awhile and well,

I didn't want to go
without talking to him.

He's suffering from shock
but he'll soon get over that.

- Hey, Jim!

Hey Jim, feller selling beef.

- Where?

- Gold Palace, he passed us here

and when we seen the beef we-

Hey wait!

R-F-R-E, Redfern and Evans?

- Yeah.

I want to know
where you got this.

Look lady, do I ask you
where you buy your whiskey?

A dollar a pound's a bargain.

Either you pay it
or I'll open up

a store myself and sell it.

People around here ain't ate
fresh beef in six months.

- Where'd you get this beef?

What business
is that of yours?

35 head of cattle was
stolen from me the night

before last and this is-

There aren't 35
head of steer in

the whole Cariboo country.

There may not be now but
there were two days ago

and you saw them.

Are you accusing me
of stealing your cattle?

- Yeah.

That'll be enough
of that, mister.

- Thanks, Grizzly.

That's my brand, RFRE.

- What of it?

I run across a crippled
steer so I butchered it.

What would you do?

You're lying, this
meat here came from

at least three steers.

- Three?
- Yeah.

You're crazy,
here I'll show you.

- It's Bill Miller.

- Your man, Walsh.

Nuh-uh, used to work
for me, I had to fire him.

He was with you
at that toll bridge.

Well, come to
think of it he was

but he just happened
to be there.

And I supposed he just
happened to shoot at us.

Miller was never one
to pass up a fight.

RE your brand?

- Yeah.

You sure you don't know
anything about this beef?

- Well, how could I?

I told you this man hadn't
worked for me in some time.

As matter of fact I had
to discharge him because,

well, because he was a
thief and a trouble maker.

Those are things we don't
tolerate in Carson Creek, do we?

This man deserved
what he got Redfern,

he was a menace
to the community.

Sorry, Francie, it
had to happen here.

It's all right, I can use
the beef, I'll pay you for it.

I, all right, give
the money to Dr. Rhodes,

I don't know how long
I'll be gone and Mike,

well you understand.

- Let's go, Hannibal.

Give her a twist and
a flip, Confucius,

you got to loosen the
dirt and swish it out.

Show him how to
do it, Grizzly.

- Huh?

- Show him how to do it.

Oh watch how an
expert does it.

I used to wash out more
pans than any three men

down in Otter Gulch.

Hey here's a...

Eh, just a rock.

Oh, that doggone
water's too cold,

I can feel my
rheumatism coming on.

If it wasn't for that I'd
be panning all the time.

Well, let's travel
another day or two west.

- Grub running low.

We'll shoot some
game, come on.

- Just a trace.

But it's gold, that's more
than we've found before.

We wouldn't pan out 50
cents a day with this.

Hey, you ain't figuring
on going further?

I want to see what's on
the other side of those peaks.

Nothing Jim, take my word
for it, nothing but nothing.

- Have you been there?

Still got my hair
ain't I, and that's why,

all's that's on the
other side is Indians.

It's the Chilcoltin
country, Jim,

that means Indians, stay out.

We've come this far,
we'll go a little farther.

Oh, you've got that gold
fever worse than I ever had.

All right, we'll
travel some more.

Come on Ling!

- Come in.

- You've got a visitor, Mike.

If it's that Harrison woman,
I don't want to see her.

- Hello, Mike how are you today?

- As well as I'll ever be.

Did Redfern put you up to this?

- No he didn't.

Then why do you
keep coming here,

you've been here now
three or four times.

You'll be out of here
soon, made any plans?

Sure, I'm going to get me
a tin cup and some pencils.

You're talking
nonsense, you could come

in with me, I need a good man.

- A good man has two hands.

- Stop that, Mike!

If you work for me,
you'll earn your pay.

I know all about
you Francie Harrison.

You own a big place here in
town and it probably makes

you feel pretty good to visit
a poor, sick man, a cripple.

All right, if that's the
way you feel about things.

You're a fool, Mike.

I had the Cariboo in
the palm of my hand.

Nothing moved unless
I said it could move

and then I let you in.

You've made a good
thing of this place

but now there's
going to be a change.

Are you telling me it's
no quarter from now on?

- That's right.

Why don't you look where
you're going you, you-

You were going to
call me a cripple.

- You bumped me deliberately.

Your face is red, Mr.
Walsh, did Francie slap you?

- You're talking out of turn.

The mighty protector of
the king of the Cariboo.

Just because you've got
only one arm don't mean-

I've only got one arm
but it's a good one.

- Why you.

And I've only got one
gun, that makes us even.

Go ahead, draw.

- You've caught me by surprise.

Want to try it again,
there won't be any difference

except you'll be a dead man.

All right now we're even.

Draw!

- Don't Mike, please.

Get out of the way,
Francie, get out of the way!

You come over to my office,
I want to talk to you.

- Mike, don't talk to Walsh.

- Why shouldn't I talk to him?

A one armed man eats as
much as a man with two arms.

Walsh pays his men well.

Grizzly, I'm going
up to those rocks.

- You mean, walk?

Hannibal you stay here.

- So this is the Chilcoltin.

Look at that grass

and water.

A cattleman's paradise, yeah.

Come on, Grizzly.

Might as well try this place.

- Yeah, good as any I guess.

- Yeah.

Indians!

- Ling, surrender!

- Hey, stay away from me.

You speak English?

Hey, any of you
fellas speak English?

Ah, just my luck, you good
for nothing bunch of nothings.

- Easy Grizzly.

They can't scare me, I
ain't afraid of no Indians.

A bunch of no-good siwashes.

- No siwash, Blackfoot.

- Hey he talks English.

White man come Indian
land, Indian kill white man.

Now wait a minute partner,
let's talk this over,

maybe we made just
a little mistake.

Indian kill white
man, white man no come.

All right, chief, we won't
argue the point, will we Jim?

This here's your land, we
leave it, we won't come back.

We've better figure out
something pretty quick Jim,

they're holding a pow-wow
and when they finish-

Yeah I know, I killed
one of their men.

Two.

I told the Chilcoltin
was Indian country.

Yeah, for all of me
they can keep it.

If I ever get out
of here alive-

Hey look it's Hannibal,
he followed us here.

Hey, Hannibal!

Hannibal, am I glad to see you.

Come on baby.

Whoa, that's enough
Hannibal, don't make them

any madder than they are.

Hey I just got me an idea.

- What?

Maybe tough on
poor old Hannibal

but maybe he'll save our lives.

He knows a trick I learned him,
he kicks when I want him to.

- Anytime you want?

- Anytime.

We've got to wait
for an opportunity.

You understand Ling,
we're in a spot.

Yes siree, run like the
devil, no like be scalped.

Now wait a minute partner,
let's not be hasty about this.

- You kill Indian, you die.

Come on here,
Hannibal, get on up.

- Run, Grizzly, run!

Gold.

- What do you want?

- Got a job?

I'm afraid you're
barking up the wrong tree.

- Very hungry, need a job.

- Beat it.

Just a minute, you're Jim
Redfern's man, aren't you?

Yes Miss, name
Ling, work long time

for Mr. Redfern, boss Mike.

- Is Mr. Redfern back in town?

Don't know, Indian
catch poor Jim, catch me,

catch Grizzly,
Grizzly and I escaped,

Jim maybe escaped, maybe dead.

- Dead.

Get a job,
you need a cook maybe?

Ling very good cook, make
biscuit, pie, very good.

- Come with me.

- Got a little gold here.

Made a strike, huh?

- Small pocket, that's all.

Not quite 60 ounces.

$940, let's call it $950.

It's an order on Frank Walsh.

- Can I get the money?

Walsh will
give it to you.

- I'd rather get it from you.

Sorry, that's the
way we do it around here.

- Well, you back?

- I want to see Walsh.

- Mr. Walsh?

Why, sure.

- Well, Mr. Redfern.

- Got an order I want cashed.

- Huh?

$950?

You strike a little gold pocket?

- Pay up.

Fair.

- It's good isn't it?

Well, yes, yes, yes, yes,
certainly, certainly, perfectly.

I'm sorry, Mr. Redfern, I
haven't got that much cash

here at present, it'll take me
some time to get it together.

- I'll come back.

- Oh you needn't do that.

Well let me see, if you'll
be at the Gold Palace,

I'll bring it to you.

- I'll be there.

Mike, Mike, it's
great to see you boy.

- What are you staring at?

Haven't you ever seen
a one armed man before?

But Mike, it's me
Jim, your old sidekick.

Listen, I've got
great news for you.

- I'll bet.

I've just been up
to the Chilcoltin,

the greatest cattle country
I've ever seen just-

The devil with your
Chilcoltin and your cattle.

- Jim.

Welcome back to Carson Creek.

- Sorry, Mike.

I don't want your
pity, I don't need it.

And you, I've had enough
from you, poor man he's lost

his arm, he's become bitter,
I've got to straighten him out.

- Mike, you're going too far.

- I can go further.

That's something new I've
learned and I've also learned

that one hand is as
good with a gun as two.

Mr. Walsh sent me over
with some money for you,

said you had an order.

- That's right.

- $950.

$100,

$200,

three,

four,

five.

Yes, sir, brand new
gold double eagle.

$640.

- The order calls for $950.

So it does, but
there's a little bill

Mr. Walsh has against you.

Walsh Toll Bridge
Company to James Redfern.

Destruction of one
toll bridge, $310.

- What's this?

That toll bridge you
broke down a few weeks ago.

That's what it costs to rebuild.

- I want the rest of the money.

Mr. Walsh said to tell you
that sometimes he carries

his customers for a little
while but he always collects

in the long run.

Congratulations, Redfern,
you're a lucky man.

We needed a new gold strike up
here and yours tops them all.

Saw the stuff, some of
the finest in the Cariboo.

- Gold!
- Strike!

- Struck it rich!

Hold on, Murphy, I want
to tell you something.

Now wait just a minute
you're not trying to keep

this to yourself
are you, Redfern,

that isn't the way
we do things up here

in the Cariboo is it boys?

Dang right it ain't!

You can't hide a
gold strike, can't keep this

to yourself, it ain't right,
got to give it to everybody.

Boys don't let
him stampede you,

he's doing this
thing deliberately.

Hold on, Redfern, don't
try to weasel out of it.

I've seen the assayer's
report and the gold itself.

All right I found a
little gold, what of it,

nobody's given me
anything around here.

I've been robbed
and pushed around-

Robbed he says,
that's great coming from

a man who's trying to cheat us.

You going to let him
get away with it boys!

No!

If he won't
talk, let's make him talk!

To my
office up the stairs.

Rush Jim!

Francie don't sell the saddle.

Thanks Ling,
I'll see you later.

- What do you want?

Not a thing, ma'am,
I saw your cattle

and well I'm a cattleman myself.

You don't look
like a cattleman.

Sorry, well I've had
rather a rough time

with it lately and-

- Jim, Jim!

- Grizzly, you old timber wolf,

I've given you up for lost.

I thought the Indians
had got you for sure.

- No.
- Marthie this is him,

feller I've been bragging
about, Jim Redfern.

Jim, my brother's
widow, Marthie Winters.

- Please to know you ma'am.

And I'm glad to
know you Mr. Redfern.

Oscar here has told
us all about you.

- Oscar.

Oh, there ain't no call
for you to let that name out,

Marthie, I'm Grizzly,
always been Grizzly up here.

- Oscar Winters.

All right, Grizzly.

Remember me telling you about
my brother down in Montana?

- Yeah.

I thought I'd pay
him a little visit.

I found he'd been
dragged out by rustlers,

Marthie and her kid, well
they was about to pull out

anyhow so I told them about you.

The notion you had that
this country we seen up

here was cattle country.

Well, did you tell
them about the Indians?

I sure did, but
Marthie, well she said

she fought Indians in Montana.

- Indians, white men, rustlers.

- Hey, Janie come here!

Here's that little present I've

been promising you, Jim Redferd.

Well, this is a present,
I mean a surprise.

I've never been so glad to
see anybody in my whole life.

From what uncle's
been telling us-

I ain't never told you
the half of it Janie,

why I seen him fight a
feller in Carson Creek.

Will, shake hands
with Jim Redfern,

this is our foremen Will Gray.

- How ya, Will?

Mighty glad to
know you Mr. Redfern.

I don't mind telling you
we've been a little worried

about bringing these
cattle up here to Canada.

Why, did the four
of you bring up all

these steers yourselves?

Well, no, not exactly, we
had six riders but they-

- They deserted two days ago.

Darn fools, gold
struck, as soon as we hit

the gold country they let out.

Young fellers ain't
steady these days,

got to be traipsing
around all the time.

I want to know more
about this Chilcoltin.

It's real tough
country, mountains such

as you've never dreamed of.

We crossed a few
coming from Montana,

nothing like you'll cross
to get into the Chilcoltin

but it's worth it
once you get there.

A landlocked valley that will
keep out the winter winds,

grass up to a horse's
belly, plenty of water,

a million acres of range untouched,
a virgin grazing land.

- And Indians.

If Hannibal ain't kicked
out all their brains by now.

Oscar, oh I mean,
Grizzly, ask him.

- Huh?

Ask him.

- Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.

You know I ain't much of
a hand with cattle, Jim,

but well, Marthi
wants you to lead

this outfit to the Chilcoltin.

We'd appreciate
it Mr. Redfern.

- Why, I'd be glad to.

What Marthie means is
she wants to take you

in as a partner, half and half.

- No, no, I can't do that.

The herd belongs to you people,

you brought them here
to the Cariboo country.

But from what you
said I don't think

we can get into the Chilcoltin.

You've have to
hire some riders

and I think you can do
that at Carson Creek.

Takes more than
just extra riders,

it isn't just a matter of
getting over the mountains,

it's getting settled afterwards.

I'll tell you
what I'd like to do,

I've got $600 and-

- $600?
- Yeah.

Where'd
you get all that money?

- I'll tell you about it later.

I'll give the money to you,
lead you to the Chilcoltin,

help you get settled and-

- That's wonderful.

And in return I'll
take %20 of the herd.

- 25.

- It's a deal.

- Well, now that that's settled,

guess I'll be fixing to turn in.

- We'd all better turn in.

- I'm glad, Jim, goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Now, about that $600?

When I escaped from the Indian
camp I found a little gold.

- Gold, where, where?

A stream up near
the Chilcoltin.

You think you
can find it again?

I suppose so, didn't
amount to anything

just a small pocket.

Well if there's one pocket
there might be some more.

No, I've made my bed and
I've got to sleep in it

but I ain't going to like it.

You know, I left Carson
Creek in quite a hurry.

Murphy got the miners all
worked up over my strike

and they chased me out of town.

We may have a little
trouble when I get back.

If they're
looking for trouble,

we can give them some, huh?

- Maybe we can.

- Redfern's coming back, boss.

- Where is he?

On the trail, crossed
the bridge yesterday

with about 300 head of cattle.

300 head, did you
collect the toll?

- Well, it's only me and Jack-

- What of it!

I put you there to collect
and that means from everybody.

You know anything about
Redfern coming back?

- No, how would I?

I haven't seen him since
you chased him out of town.

- Have you heard from him?

- No.

You'd think Redfern
would know better than

to keep on trying to
bring his cattle up here.

He's got an obsession,
he's been talking about it

for years, a place where
he can raise cattle

and not have to worry
about grass and water.

That's why he came
up to this country.

- I thought you came for gold.

I came for gold,
with him it was cattle.

He said the cattle
would be here long

after the gold was forgotten.

We'll give him a
reception when he gets back.

- You'll do nothing of the kind.

You know, Redfern
may have something

in this cattle business.

At any rate I'm going
to try and find out.

Redfern's no fool,
he knew he was taking

a chance coming back here,
cattle may be the answer.

Anyway, the Cariboo is dying,
there isn't enough gold coming

in here to keep this country
alive for another six months.

I wonder how I'd like
the cattle business.

- You wouldn't.

- No?

I'd like anything if there
was enough money in it.

300 head wouldn't
be a bad start.

Come!

How far do you figure
we're from this town?

What did you say
the name of it was?

- Carson Creek.

Oh we ought to get there sometime
late tomorrow afternoon.

- Then 100 miles more.

- More or less.

This country doesn't
look very good for cattle.

It's gold country,
it's just as well cattle

and gold don't mix.

- We're making good time.

Something wrong?

Not a thing, only well
it was just about here

we lost our herd and Mike-

Yes, uncle told me about
him, he lost his arm.

Hey!

You'd think a herd
of steers coming

in was something
they seen everyday.

I guess we ain't going
to have no fun after all.

- I'm satisfied.

Walsh must have been
told we were coming.

If that's the case where's
the welcoming committee?

Doesn't look like
there's going to be one.

But he's got something
up his sleeve.

- Hey what...

- Jim.

I left town so quickly
I didn't get a chance

to pay you for my saddle.

Why didn't you sell it?

- I didn't get any offers.

- You sure?

Well, think you can
stay here this time?

Only long enough
to hire some riders.

We're going on to
the Chilcoltin.

But that's a
hundred miles north.

This herd's already
come farther than that.

- Your cattle?

Belongs to Grizzly's
sister in law, Mrs. Winters.

Jim, are we
going to make camp?

- Oh just beyond town.

Now Jane, this is Francie
Harrison, Jane Winters Francie.

- Howdy do.

- How are you.

I've got to get
this herd bedded down,

I'll ride back and
see you later Francie.

- Francie.

Well he's really done it,

brought cattle into
the Cariboo again,

you'd think he had enough
of that the last time.

- It isn't his herd.
- Who's is it?

- Why don't you ask him.
- Maybe I will.

Evans says the man is cattle
crazy, thinks he's going to find

a cattle paradise up here
in the north, he's a fool.

He tell you where he was
those weeks he was gone?

No he didn't and if he
had I wouldn't tell you.

Why you're blushing
like a school girl,

you're in love with him.

Francie Harrison of the Gold
Palace of the Cariboo Trail

and points north and south.

- Get out of here.

Get out and don't come back.

- Thanks.

You haven't worn a
dress in a long time.

- Like it?

- Very much.

You still got
soap in your ear.

Here.

Going to town?

She's very attractive.

- Yes, she is.

- Going to town, hey?

Uh-huh.

Wait a minute and
I'll go with you.

No, I'd rather
you stay here, Grizzly.

Thought I'd go in
and look up Mike.

- Mike, huh?

- Yeah.

Goodnight Jane.

He's been in here day after
day drinking far too much.

There he is now.

- Mike, I want to talk to you.

- Talk.

You don't mind if we use
your office do you Francie?

- No of course not.

Anything I'd be
interested in hearing

you can say right here.

A year ago, Mike, I'd
of punched your full head

for talking like this.

I'm taking a herd up
to the Chilcoltin.

I'm getting 25% for my work.

We're still partners,
Mike, nothing's changed,

come on along and
we'll start all over.

You never saw a
one armed cowboy.

- Oh, don't talk like that,

there are plenty of
things you can do.

Take her with you,
she might like it.

- You can see he hasn't changed.

And he won't as long as
he's working for Walsh.

Forget about him, Jim,
you can't bring him back

you've tried your best.

You're only hurting yourself.

I know only I can't
help thinking of the kid

he used to be.

Francie I-

- Yes, Jim?

All ready boss,
ready go to Chilcoltin.

Ling, isn't that
Mike's saddle?

- I paid for one.

Sorry Mrs. Francie, me quit job.

That's all right Ling
you've been a good cook.

- Cook better with chuck wagon.

- Jim.

- Um-mm.

- Be careful, Walsh.

I know, I'll keep
watching out for him.

I'll be back.

We've made a good
drive so far but now

that we're getting
into a rougher country,

the going will be harder.

Not only for the cattle
but for ourselves.

From here on it's
all virgin territory.

It's only fair that I
warn you again that we

may encounter Indians higher in

the mountains, hostile Indians.

Well, I told you about
that back in Carson Creek

but now I'm telling you again.

So if any of you want to turn
back, it's your last chance.

All right we'll
break camp at dawn.

And we'll have an extra special
breakfast before we start.

You see Evans, you
got to know the angles.

If it's transportation you get
horses and men if it's gold

you go after the gold and if
it's cattle you get the cattle.

The way you work,
you'll get them.

Something worrying
you tonight?

Not very much, I'm
just wondering how low

a man like you could stoop.

- Now see here!

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

Get out of there.

- Get up there!

Yes, get up!

Ah, come on.

Go, go, go!

Yeah!

- Haven't you had about enough?

- I'm paying for it.

I don't want your money,
had to throw you out

last night and
here you are again.

I got lots of thinking to
do, can't think unless I drink.

Well do your drinking
somewhere else.

I'm getting tired
of seeing you around

here all the time drunk.

Now look here Evans,
you've been carrying

this business a little too far.

You've been drunk for a week.

Fire me, fire
me why don't you?

Only you're afraid aren't
you because I know something

you wished I didn't know.

You keep that mouth of
yours shut, you drunken fool!

Murphy!

Sure come ahead,
Murphy, I'm drunk,

you can beat me to
the draw, maybe.

Come on Murphy, this is the
chance you've been waiting for!

Walsh wants me out of the way,

you'll get a big
bonus if you get me.

Draw, Murphy!

Look at him run, Walsh,
king of the Cariboo

and his gunfighter.

Yellow both of them.

Miss. Harrison.

- I want to talk to you alone.

- All right, Francie let's talk.

You name the subject.

- What does Mike Evans know?

He knows he's a drunken
cripple and that's all he knows.

You're lying I
know you too well.

You've planned another of
your dirty pieces of business,

something to do
with Jim Redfern.

Why Francie how could
I possibly harm Redfern?

He's got the Chinese
with him and the old coot

and a half dozen many
hide here in town,

pretty sizeable force.

Certainly plenty of
protection against me

even if I wanted to harm him.

You're pretty sure
of yourself aren't you,

which means you have got
something up your sleeve,

something so ugly
that even Mike Evans

has turned against you.

- Well why don't you ask Evans,

he'll tell you if he's able to.

Mr. Evans, Mr.
Evans, don't go.

- What?

- Nothing.

You just heard a bit
of shooting, friends.

Frank Walsh tried
to have me killed

and missed, you know why?

Because I know something
he wishes I didn't know.

He's made a deal
with the Indians

to massacre Jim Redferd
and his entire party.

He's gone too far!

Some of you may hold
a grudge against Jim

because he wouldn't let
you in on his gold strike.

You were needled
into that by Murphy.

I know Jim and I can
assure you that if Jim

had struck it rich,
he'll let you in on it.

Some of you were here in Carson
Creek when Jim brought me

in after I lost my arm.

You may have heard that our
cattle stampede did this

to me, but now I'll bet my
life that Walsh has been

behind every bit of dirty
business since he hit this town.

What are you going
to do about it?

You going to let him have
all those people murdered?

No!

Walsh is on his way,
he's got a head start on us

and the Indians are ready,
we've got to beat them

and beat Walsh, come on!

Jane, you shouldn't be
walking around at night.

Why, you're out
here all the time.

- This is Indian country.

The guards are being doubled
tonight and from now on

no one will step
more than 20 feet

from camp, beginning with you.

- Hide, everybody!

- Jane, take care of this man.

All right men let's get these
logs and build a barricade.

You've got them outnumbered
10 to one, White Buffalo,

they haven't had a chance to
dig in, now hit them again.

No like attack at
night, wait until morning.

But by morning they'll
be ready for you.

Lose many men already, wait
until morning, attack then.

You've got to make these
Indians attack now, now.

The cattle, why
can't we stampede them

like we did when we
got Redfern's herd?

- Of course.

- Will, Grizzly, Ling.

- What do we do?

The cattle, we've
got to get rid of them,

the Indian's stampede them
this way, we're done for.

We can't go out there Jim,
them Indians will cut us all.

We got to go out there,
stampede them away from us.

Mike.

You did this to me, Walsh
and now I'm going to-

- Sorry, Jim, about everything.

Don't talk, Mike,
everything will be all right.

- Sure, sure, Jim.

You'll have your
cattle and your ranch.

Wish I could be with you.

Have to walk the
rest of the way.

- Jim, look, it's Hannibal!

Hey Hannibal!
