[GUN FIRES] COUGAR TRACKS.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT, PA!

THINK IT'S THE ONE THAT GOT SAM DECOVEN?

IT COULD BE THE ONE WE'RE LOOKIN' FOR, ALL RIGHT. THOSE

TRACKS ARE FRESH, MARK, AND THEY ...THEY LEAD RIGHT OVER THAT

WAY.

Mark: CAN I GO WITH YOU?

NO, YOU STAY WITH THE HORSES.

NOW, I WON'T GO FAR, SON, I'LL KEEP YOU IN SIGHT, IT'LL BE

SAFER THAT WAY.

[COUGAR ROARS] [COUGAR ROARS]

[COUGAR ROARS] [CHOKED] PA!

[COUGAR ROARS] PA! PA!

[COUGAR ROARS] I TOLD YOU TO STAY OVER THERE

WITH THE HORSES, DIDN'T I?

WELL, I...I JUST CAME OVER HERE 'CAUSE IT WAS SHADY, I

THOUGHT IT'D BE ALL RIGHT.

NEVER MIND WHAT YOU THOUGHT, WHEN I GIVE YOU AN ORDER YOU

OBEY IT, AN' NO BACK-TALK, YOU REMEMBER THAT.

YES, SIR. BUT THE CAT COULD HAVE JUMPED ME OVER WHERE THE

HORSES-- I SAID NO BACK-TALK, MARK!

NOW, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT...

WHAT IS IT? WHAT'S WRONG?

ME, THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG, SON.

I MISSED, YOU WANTED TO COME WITH ME BUT I SAID YOU'D BE SAFE

DOWN HERE, AND NOW YOU COULD BE LYING DEAD...BECAUSE I MISSED.

BUT HE RAN OFF.

HE COULD JUST AS EASILY HAVE JUMPED YOU, MARK, INSTEAD.

BUT HE DIDN'T, AN'... AN' EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT NOW, PA.

IS IT?

COME ON, MARK, WE'D BETTER HEAD HOME.

I REALLY THINK I COULD DO IT. OF COURSE I KNOW IT'LL TAKE TIME,

BUT...BUT SOME OF THE KIDS AT SCHOOL, WELL, THEY'D BE GLAD TO

HELP, AND WHAT WITH VACATION COMIN' UP, WE...WE COULD

PROBABLY WORK A FEW DAYS AN' HAVE IT FINISHED IN LESS THAN A

WEEK. THE ONLY PROBLEM AS I SEE IT IS... THIS DARN ROCK. WE MAY

HAVE TO DIG IT UP BUT...BUT MAYBE WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO IF...

IF WE JUST DUG A TRENCH FROM THE NORTH END OF THIS CREEK AN'...

AN' BROUGHT IT ON DOWN THAT WAY.

WHY, SURE THAT'S JUST WHAT WE COULD DO. WE-- WELL, JUST THINK

HOW GREAT IT WOULD BE, PA, IF IT WORKED...WE COULD PLANT JUST

ABOUT ANYTHIN' WE WANTED IN OUR OWN BACKYARD, AH...IF YOU

WANTED STRAWBERRIES SOME MORNIN', YOU JUST WALK OUT BACK

AN' PICK 'EM.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, PA?

CAN WE START ON IT TOMORROW?

PA?

I'M SORRY, SON, I GUESS I WASN'T PAYIN' ATTENTION.

YOU DIDN'T HEAR A THING I SAID.

OH, I HEARD YOU.

WE'LL SEE ABOUT IT TOMORROW.

I'LL BE BACK BEFORE LUNCH.

WHERE ARE YOU GOIN'?

TO THE GUN SHOP, TO SEE ANGUS.

Angus: LUCAS, ANY LUCK TRACKIN' THAT COUGAR?

THAT'S WHAT I CAME TO SEE YOU ABOUT, ANGUS. I'D LIKE YOU TO

TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS.

I GAVE IT A THOROUGH GOIN' OVER, BEFORE YOU PICKED IT UP

THE OTHER DAY.

WELL, YOU BETTER GO OVER THE SIGHTS AGAIN, THEY'RE OFF.

OFF! IN WHAT WAY?

YOU'RE THE GUNSMITH, YOU TELL ME.

YOU'RE SURE IT'S OFF, HMM?

I DOUBLE-CHECKED IT-- WELL, YOU CHECK IT AGAIN. AN'

WHEN YOU FIX IT, BRING IT OVER TO MICAH'S, I'LL BE WAITIN'.

SOMETHIN' WENT WRONG?

YEAH, SOMETHIN' WENT WRONG.

ALL--ALL RIGHT, LUCAS, I'LL GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME.

YOU DO THAT.

HAVE SOME MORE COFFEE.

LUCAS, ANGUS IS ONE OF THE FINEST GUNSMITHS IN THESE PARTS.

HE'S ENTITLED TO ONE MISTAKE.

NOT WHEN IT COMES TO MY SON'S LIFE, HE ISN'T.

IF YOU WERE JUST SHOOTIN' TARGET PRACTICE, YOU WOULDN'T

HAVE BEEN SO RILED.

I KEEP SEEIN' THAT CAT LEAPIN' AT MARK'S THROAT,

INSTEAD OF RUNNIN' AWAY.

IF THAT HAD HAPPENED...

"IF" IS A TROUBLESOME WORD.

THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY "IF", IF ANGUS HAD DONE HIS JOB RIGHT.

NO, MAYBE NOT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "MAYBE"?

JUST THAT THAT GUN SIGHT MIGHT HAVE BEEN LINED UP PROPER.

YOU SAYIN' IT WAS ME?

I'M SAYIN' IT'S A POSSIBILITY.

NOT UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES, MY GOOD FRIEND.

UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IT CAN HAPPEN ONCE. ANYWAY, WE'LL

SOON KNOW, HERE'S ANGUS.

WELL, I HOPE YOU FIXED IT RIGHT THIS TIME, ANGUS.

NOTHIN' TO FIX.

Lucas: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

JUST WHAT I SAID, NOTHIN' WAS WRONG WITH THE SIGHT. IT CHECKED

OUT ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

SORRY, LUCAS.

HE MUST BE WRONG, MICAH.

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANNA THINK.

OH, WHAT ELSE CAN I THINK?

THE SIMPLE TRUTH.

YOU MEAN WHEN IT COMES TO A REAL EMERGENCY WHERE MARK COULD

HAVE ALWAYS COUNTED ON ME, NOW HE CAN'T? IF THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE

HINTIN' AT, MICAH, YOU SAY IT OUT.

YOU'RE SAYIN' IT, LUCAS BOY.

THAT'S WHY THIS INCIDENT HAS YOU AFRAID. BECAUSE THE ONE TIME YOU

MISS, MIGHT HAVE COST MARK HIS LIFE. YOU'RE LETTIN' FEAR TAKE

OVER FOR COMMON SENSE.

WHERE ARE YOU GOIN'?

TO SEE DOC BURRAGE. IF IT WASN'T THE RIFLE, IT...IT MUST

BE SOMETHIN' ELSE.

Micah: LIKE WHAT?

MY EYES, MAYBE.

I DON'T THINK SO.

YOU A DOCTOR?

NO.

THEN DON'T GIVE ANY MEDICAL ADVICE.

NOW THE LAST LINE.

HAVIN' TROUBLE?

LAST TIME YOU COULD READ THE LAST LINE WITHOUT

DIFFICULTY.

NO, I CAN READ IT DOC, "T-X-L-U-R".

Doc: [CHUCKLES] THEN THERE'S NOTHIN' TO WORRY ABOUT. NOTHIN'

THE MATTER WITH YOUR EYES, THEY ARE AS GOOD AS EVER.

NOW, I NEVER SAW A MAN ACCEPT GOOD NEWS IN SUCH A BAD WAY.

LUCAS, I'M NOT ONLY YOUR DOCTOR, I'M YOUR FRIEND.

NOW WHAT'S BOTHERIN' YOU?

SOMETHIN' I CAN HELP YOU WITH?

SOMETHIN' NOBODY CAN HELP ME WITH, DOC.

LUCAS?

LUCAS!

[MARK GROANS] PA! THE COUGAR! NO!

MARK!

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT NOW, SON.

PA, I...I DREAMT THE COUGAR WAS GONNA...

I KNOW.

SON, I...I'M SORRY I MISSED.

BUT IT WAS ONLY A DREAM.

PA, I SAID IT WAS ONLY A DREAM.

I HEARD YOU, MARK.

HAVEN'T YOU BEEN TO BED?

YOU GO ON BACK TO SLEEP NOW.

[GUNSHOTS] GOOD MORNIN', LUCAS.

LOU?

WELL NOW, THAT'S WHAT I'D CALL A ROUSIN' WELCOME, MR.

MCCAIN, ESPECIALLY IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT I'M WEARIN' A

BRAND-NEW DRESS, WHICH JUST ARRIVED FROM CHICAGO.

YOU LIKE IT?

[SIGHS] THE WAY YOU ACT, ANYONE WOULD THINK YOU PAID FOR

IT. IT'S SORT OF EARLY IN THE DAY TO BE DRINKIN', ISN'T IT?

MY, YOU'RE A...YOU'RE A SCREAMIN' BANSHEE TODAY.

[LUCAS GRUNTS] AND SURE NOW, I THOUGHT THERE

WAS NO END TO MY WIT.

THERE'S NOTHIN' WRONG WITH YOUR WIT.

AN' THERE'S NOTHIN' WRONG WITH YOU EITHER, LUCAS MCCAIN,

NO MATTER WHAT DOUBTS YOU'RE PLAGUIN' YOURSELF WITH.

MICAH TOLD ME.

HE OUGHT TO MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS.

MAYBE THAT'S JUST WHAT HE WAS DOIN'. AS MY FATHER USED TO SAY

WHEN YOU HAVE A TRUE FRIEND WHO'S HURTIN',

YOU'LL BE HURTIN' TOO.

LUCAS, DO YOU THINK YOU'RE PERFECT? 'CAUSE IF YOU DO,

YOU'RE MISTAKEN.

NO MAN'S PERFECT.

I'M GOOD ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE MISSED THAT CAT. I TRIED TO

PROVE IT TO MYSELF THIS MORNIN' WITH SOME TARGETS.

AND?

I HIT 'EM ALL.

SO THERE.

HMM...SOME PODS ON A BUSH, SOME ACORNS, WHAT DO THEY

MATTER? I'M TALKIN' ABOUT MY OWN SON, WHEN IT COUNTED.

JUST TELL YOURSELF IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

HOW DO I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN?

YOU DON'T ASK THAT QUESTION, IF YOU'VE FAITH IN YOURSELF.

HELLO, LOU.

BEN TODD!

SORRY FOR BREAKIN' IN LIKE THIS BUT...I'VE COME A LONG WAY

TO SEE THIS LADY. LOU, WHEN I GOT BACK TO DENVER, THE FIRST

THING I DID, WAS HEAD FOR YOUR BAR, ONLY TO FIND THAT YOU'D

SOLD OUT AN' GONE. WITHOUT EVEN LEAVIN' A PERSONAL NOTE TELLIN'

ME WHERE.

BEN, RIGHT NOW I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR YOUR JOKES.

JOKES? I CAME ALL THIS WAY FIGURIN' THAT YOU AND I MIGHT...

START UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF.

WE LEFT OFF NOTHIN', BECAUSE WE NEVER BEGAN, EXCEPT IN YOUR

MIND. BESIDES, YOU DIDN'T COME HERE JUST TO SEE ME, I KNOW YOU

BETTER THAN THAT.

WELL, I HAVE SOME RAILROAD BUSINESS, BUT YOU COME FIRST,

LOU.

OH, BEN, YOUR BLARNEY DIDN'T WORK IN DENVER, IT WON'T WORK

HERE.

SHOULD WE BE DISCUSSIN' OUR PRIVATE MATTERS IN FRONT OF A

STRANGER?

MR. MCCAIN ISN'T A STRANGER.

OH?

BEN, WILL YOU PLEASE GO?

OH, HOW ABOUT JUST ONE DRINK THEN, FOR OLD TIMES SAKE?

YOU HEARD THE LADY, MISTER, GET OUT OF HERE.

I'M NOT LOOKIN' FOR TROUBLE, I JUST...WANNA TALK PRIVATELY TO

LOU, THAT'S ALL. LOU -- DON'T COME BACK IN HERE,

MISTER.

DON'T YOU EVER COME BACK.

LUCAS!

LUCAS, WHAT'S COME OVER YOU?

HE ASKED FOR IT, DIDN'T HE?

YOU KNOW HE DIDN'T, NOT THAT KIND OF TREATMENT.

WELL, IF YOU STILL WANT THAT DRINK WITH 'IM, HE'S OUTSIDE.

LUCAS-- DON'T LECTURE ME!

MCCAIN?

MCCAIN?

I'M LOOKIN' FOR AN APOLOGY YOU OWE ME.

YOU HEARD ME!

YOU DON'T APOLOGIZE, I'LL HAVE TO ASK SATISFACTION.

I'M WAITIN'.

ALL RIGHT, WHICH IS IT GONNA BE?

EITHER YOU APOLOGIZE, OR YOU GIVE ME SATISFACTION,

ONE OR THE OTHER.

NOW, YOU WANT SATISFACTION, YOU GOT IT. RIGHT HERE AN' NOW.

LUCAS!

YOU STAY OUT OF THIS, LOU.

ALL RIGHT, MISTER, YOU NAME IT.

FIRE RIGHT FROM HERE.

GO AHEAD, MAKE YOUR MOVE.

HOLD IT! HOLD IT! NOW WE DON'T ALLOW GUNFIGHTIN' ON THE

STREETS OF THIS TOWN. HE KNOWS IT, NOW YOU KNOW IT TOO.

MAKE THIS ONE EXCEPTION, MARSHAL.

NO EXCEPTIONS. NOW, IF YOU WANNA STAY HERE, YOU KEEP THAT

GUN HOLSTERED OR MOVE OUT, RIGHT NOW.

THIS DOESN'T FINISH IT, MCCAIN, THERE'LL BE ANOTHER TIME

...AN' ANOTHER PLACE.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYIN' TO PROVE?

DO YOU REALIZE YOU CAME NEAR TO KILLIN' A MAN FOR NO APPARENT

PURPOSE? WHY, IT WOULD'VE BEEN LITTLE SHORT OF MURDER.

HE DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY CHOICE.

YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN ON YOUR HORSE AN' RIDDEN OUT. THAT'S

WHAT THE MAN I KNEW TWO DAYS AGO WOULD'VE DONE.

YOU'RE RIGHT, MICAH, I'M NOT THE SAME MAN YOU KNEW TWO DAYS

AGO, AN' I DON'T KNOW WHY.

I KNOW WHY, THAT COUGAR.

YOU'VE BEEN MAKIN' EXCUSES BECAUSE SHE WAS TOO FAST FOR

YOU. SHE'S STILL ROAMIN' THE SOUTH COUNTRY, ABE MURER'S

CATTLE HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE LAST NIGHT.

CATTLE HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE LAST NIGHT.

OH, MICAH, I'M WORRIED ABOUT HIM.

I THINK HE KNOWS IT, AND THAT HELPS.

I THINK HE KNOWS IT, AND THAT HELPS.

Ben: HOLD IT, MCCAIN!

STAY RIGHT THERE, DON'T MOVE.

MCCAIN, YOU HAD NO CALL TO DO WHAT YOU DID IN FRONT OF LOU.

NOW, JUST A MINUTE-- MAN CAN'T TAKE THAT KIND OF

INSULT AN' JUST WALK AWAY WITH HIS TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS AN'

STILL CALL HIMSELF A MAN.

YOU SEE, MCCAIN, YOU GIVE ME NO CHOICE, I THINK YOU CAN

UNDERSTAND THAT. I HEARD IN TOWN THAT, EH...YOU'RE PRETTY

GOOD WITH THAT RIFLE O' YOURS.

I'M GLAD BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO BE PRETTY GOOD WITH THIS GUN.

I'VE SAID MY PIECE MCCAIN, NOW I'M GONNA GIVE YOU

THE SAME CHANCE I DID IN TOWN.

YOU COULD MAKE YOUR APOLOGIES TO LOU, OR YOU CAN

FACE ME. YOUR RIFLE AGAINST MY GUN. ONLY THIS TIME THE MARSHAL

WON'T BE AROUND TO...

I GUESS I HAD YOU FIGURED ALL WRONG, MCCAIN.

I'D LIKE TO PUT OUR DIFFERENCE IN THE BACK OF US.

WELL I WOULDN'T, NOT UNTIL I APOLOGIZE FIRST.

WELL I WOULDN'T, NOT UNTIL I APOLOGIZE FIRST.

I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP TONIGHT, PA.

YOU DIDN'T LAST NIGHT.

WHAT WAS THE MATTER?

WELL, I GUESS I JUST LOST SIGHT OF SOMETHIN', MARK.

WHAT WAS THAT?

THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GROWIN' UP. YOU REALLY ARE, THAT'S WHAT

MICAH WAS TRYIN' TO TELL ME.

AH, PA...TALKIN' ABOUT GROWIN' UP, YOU KNOW NILS WAS

TELLIN' ME THAT HE HAS A...A NEW MAN'S SADDLE FOR ME, WHENEVER

YOU'RE READY.

WE'LL SEE ABOUT IT IN THE MORNING, SON.

OH, OH...PA, I CAN DO IT.
