NAME'S ANDERSON.

BLOODY BILL'S WHAT THEY CALL ME.

REDLEGS?

YOU'LL FIND THEM UP IN KANSAS.

THEY'RE WITH THE UNION.

AND WE'RE GOING UP THERE AND SET THINGS ARIGHT.

I'LL BE COMIN' WITH YOU.

YAH!

ALL THAT A FELLA HAS TO DO

IS RIDE INTO THAT UNION CAMP DOWN THERE...

RAISE HIS RIGHT HAND,

AND SWEAR TO BE LOYAL TO THE UNITED STATES.

THEN HE CAN TAKE UP HIS HORSE AGAIN

AND GO HOME.

THEY'RE GIVING US FULL AMNESTY?

YEP.

EVERYONE ELSE HAS DONE IT BUT US.

WE ARE THE LAST OF THE HOLDOUTS.

I'M GOING IN, BOYS. I'VE HAD ENOUGH.

JOSEY.

BETTER GO WITH THEM, BOY.

ARE YOU COMING WITH US, JOSEY?

I RECKON NOT, FLETCHER.

THEY'LL BE COMING AFTER YOU, JOSEY.

YEAH.

THERE'S NOWHERE YOU CAN GO TO GET AWAY.

I RECKON THAT'S TRUE.

WELL...

GOOD LUCK, JOSEY.

PUT THE RIFLE DOWN, TOO.

I'LL BE NEEDING THIS FOR SQUIRRELS AND SUCH.

PUT IT DOWN.

YOU'RE KIND OF YOUNG, AIN'T YOU, KID,

TO BE RIDING WITH THIS RABBLE?

WHO YOU CALLING RABBLE,

YOU BLUE SCUM-BELLY?

HELL,

WE SHOWED THESE BOYS ANYWAY.

LEE MIGHT'VE HAD TO SURRENDER,

BUT WE DIDN'T, DID WE?

SHUT UP, KID.

YES, SIR. YOU SHOWED US.

NOW, GET IN LINE

BEFORE I KICK YOU SO HARD,

YOU'LL BE WEARING YOUR ASS FOR A HAT.

HERE'S THE MAN YOU ASKED FOR.

AH, FLETCHER, GOOD TO SEE YOU!

SENATOR.

WELL DONE.

THANK YOU.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS REDLEG DOING HERE?

YOU SAID REGULAR FEDERAL AUTHORITIES WOULD BE HANDLING THIS.

CAPTAIN TERRILL

IS THE REGULAR FEDERAL AUTHORITY NOW.

CAPTAIN TERRILL IS A BLOODTHIRSTY SON OF A BITCH!

HE'S A LOOTER AND A PILLAGER.

HE'S THE WORST ENEMY THOSE MEN HAVE GOT!

OHH...

WAR'S OVER.

OUR SIDE WON THE WAR.

NOW WE MUST BUSY OURSELVES WINNING THE PEACE.

FLETCHER, THERE'S AN OLD SAYING--

TO THE VICTORS BELONG THE SPOILS.

THERE'S ANOTHER OLD SAYING, SENATOR--

DON'T PISS DOWN MY BACK AND TELL ME IT'S RAINING.

WHICH SIDE IS THIS MAN ON, SENATOR?

EASY. HE BROUGHT THEM ALL IN.

ALL BUT ONE.

WHO'S THAT?

JOSEY WALES.

JOSEY WALES.

CAPTAIN TERRILL,

I WANT YOU TO CURRYCOMB THE COUNTRYSIDE.

YOU BEAT THE BRUSH,

ROOT OUT EVERYTHING DISLOYAL

FROM A SHANGHAI ROOSTER TO A DURHAM COW.

NOW, WE'VE GOT TO CLEAN UP THIS COUNTRY.

NOW, YOU TAKE FIVE MEN

AND GO UP THERE AND GET JOSEY WALES.

[SNICKERING]

CAPTAIN "REDLEGS" TERRILL AND FIVE MEN

AGAINST JOSEY WALES, EH?

WE STOPPED THOSE BUSHWHACKERS

PRETTY GOOD DURING THE WAR.

FLETCHER,

YOU GO WITH CAPTAIN TERRILL THEN.

BRING IN THIS DAMN INSURRECTIONIST REBEL.

NOW, HERE.

HERE'S THE MONEY FOR BRINGING THE OTHERS.

AND THERE'LL BE MORE FOR JOSEY WALES.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR MONEY, SENATOR.

LET WALES BE.

LET ME BE.

I'M FINISHED WITH YOU.

ALL RIGHT,

I WANT YOU MEN TO RAISE YOUR RIGHT HANDS.

WHAT FOR?

SO AS YOU CAN PLEDGE LOYALTY TO THE UNION.

HELL.

PLEDGE LOYALTY TO THE UNION.

YOU OUGHT TO HAVE US TURN AROUND AND BEND OVER.

RAISE YOUR RIGHT HANDS SO I CAN TAKE YOUR OATH.

"I PLEDGE

"THAT I WILL BE LOYAL

TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

I PLEDGE THAT I WILL BE LOYAL

TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

"THAT I WILL," UH...

LET'S SEE...

"I WILL ABIDE BY ITS LAW,

THAT I WILL NEVER BEAR ARMS AGAINST IT."

THAT I WILL ABIDE BY ITS LAW,

THAT I WILL NEVER BEAR ARMS AGAINST IT.

"AND RECOGNIZE

THAT IT IS ONE NATION."

AND RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS ONE NATION.

I AIN'T DOING IT.

COME ON, KID.

I'VE BEEN THINKING.

I THINK THEY OWE US AN APOLOGY.

"AND I FURTHER SWEAR

THAT THOUGH I BE MURDEROUS..."

AND I FURTHER SWEAR--

LOOK! THAT'S JOSEY.

"VERMINOUS, LYING, MISSOURI SCUM!"

WHOA!

DAMN YOU, SENATOR.

AND YOU PROMISED ME THOSE MEN WOULD BE DECENTLY TREATED.

THEY WERE DECENTLY TREATED.

THEY WERE DECENTLY FED,

AND THEN THEY WERE DECENTLY SHOT.

THESE MEN ARE COMMON OUTLAWS, NOTHING MORE.

RUN FOR IT, FLETCHER! IT'S A TRAP!

OHH!

JOSEY, WE BEST BE ON OUR WAY.

GET MOVING, BOY!

THEY'RE COMING. WE GOT TO TAKE TO THAT BRUSH!

GET GOING!

YOU CAN'T GET THEM ALL, JOSEY.

HOW COME YOU'RE DOING THIS?

I'VE GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO.

FLETCHER WAS IN WITH THEM. IT WAS A TRAP!

FLETCHER?

NEVER WOULD'VE FIGURED THAT.

YOU DUMB KID.

JOSEY, I GOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I'M SCARED OF DYING!

MOVE OUT!

YOU'RE GOING AFTER HIM, AFTER ALL.

FLETCHER, I'M GIVING YOU A COMMISSION.

HOUND THIS WALES TO KINGDOM COME.

HOUND HIM, SENATOR?

A MAN LIKE WALES LIVES BY THE FEUD.

AS OF WHAT YOU DID HERE TODAY,

I'VE GOT TO KILL THAT MAN.

WELL, HE'LL HAVE TO RUN FOR IT NOW,

AND HELL IS WHERE HE'S HEADED.

HE'LL BE WAITING THERE FOR US, SENATOR.

DON'T HOLD BACK ACCOUNT OF ME. I CAN RIDE.

I AIN'T HOLDING BACK ACCOUNT OF YOU,

YOU THICK-HEADED GRASSHOPPER.

FIRST PLACE, IF WE RIDE OUT IN THE OPEN,

THERE'S ENOUGH POSSES OVER SOUTH MISSOURI

TO START ANOTHER WAR.

AND IF WE TRY RIDING

INSTEAD OF THINKING...

WELL, END UP

HANGING BY A ROPE BY NIGHTFALL.

WHERE WE HEADED?

INDIAN NATIONS.

IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO HOLE UP

AND GET YOU HEALED UP.

THEN WE GO BACK, GET FLETCHER?

RIGHT, BOY.

THEN WE GO BACK AND GET FLETCHER.

SOME RIDERS COMING UP BEHIND US.

GET...

GET DOWN HERE, BOY.

LAY ACROSS HIS NECK.

KEEP HIM DOWN.

YOU HEAR ME, BOY?

NOW...

IF YOU SEE ME GET UP,

YOU STAY THERE, UNDERSTAND?

YOU HEAR SOME SHOOTING

AND ME HEADED BACK NORTH,

GET BACK ON THAT HORSE

AND HEAD SOUTH NOW,

YOU HEAR?

WHOA...WHOA.

ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN LET HIM UP NOW, BOY.

LET HIM UP.

GET UP, GOD DAMN IT.

WHUPPED 'EM AGAIN, DIDN'T WE, JOSEY?

WHUPPED 'EM AGAIN, BOY.

10 YEARS I BEEN FERRYING KANSAS REDLEGS,

UNION CAVALRY,

MISSOURI GUERRILLAS.

YOU NAME IT--

MAD DOGS, THEM GUERRILLAS.

YOU LOOK SIDEWAYS AT 'EM...

THEY KILL YOU!

SOUND LIKE HARD MEN TO DO BUSINESS WITH.

YOU BET.

IN MY WORK,

YOU GOT TO BE ABLE EITHER TO SING

THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

OR DIXIE WITH EQUAL ENTHUSIASM...

DEPENDING UPON PRESENT COMPANY.

CAN'T SAY AS I BLAME YOU FOR THAT.

ONLY GOOD BUSINESS TO PLAY IT SAFE.

THANK GOD THEY ALL BEEN DISARMED NOW,

EXCEPT FOR A FEW OF THE NASTIEST ONES

WHO THEY'RE BUSY RUNNING DOWN.

WELL, WHERE I'M GOING,

THEY KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THAT KIND.

WHERE YOU HEADED?

I'M GOING TO PLY MY WARES DOWN IN TEXAS.

TEXAS, HUH?

MM-HMM.

HOW MUCH FOR THE FERRY RIDE?

10 CENT.

BY COINCIDENCE,

I HAPPEN TO HAVE A BOTTLE OF THIS REMARKABLE ELIXIR

STRANGER, YOU'RE IN LUCK.

I HAPPEN TO HAVE THE PERFECT THING FOR CRAMP.

THEY SAY YOU KILLED YOUR MEN.

LYING BLUE SCUM-BELLIES.

THEY SAY YOU'RE A DESPERATE MAN, JOSEY WALES.

THEY'RE GOING TO HEEL AND HIDE YOU

TO A BARN DOOR.

YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY?

WHAT'S THAT?

I SAY THAT TALK'S WORTH DOODLEY-SQUAT.

THEY'D CATCH UP TO US BY THE END OF THE DAY.

JUDGING BY THESE TRACKS, THERE'S MAYBE...

OH, NO, NO, MR. JOSEY WALES.

I SEEN HIM DO SOME THINGS.

WHAT GOLD IS HE TALKING ABOUT?

THERE'S NO GOLD. HE'S CRAZY.

THE GOLD ME AND JOSEY ROBBED FROM THE BANK.

LADGE, TAKE A LOOK

UNDER THAT THERE BLANKET.

I GOT IT RIGHT HERE.

THOUGHT YOU COULD USE SOME HELP.

YOU GET THOSE HOLES A-LEAKIN',

I'M GOING TO WHOMP YOU WITH A PLOW LINE.

THEY AIN'T, HONEST.

I FEEL AS PERT AS A RUTTIN' BUCK.

GOOD.

'CAUSE I AIN'T HAULING YOU ALL OVER HELL'S CREATION

DRIBBLING BLOOD OVER HALF OF MISSOURI.

PRETTY SURE WE HAVE TIME TO BURY THEM FELLAS.

HELL WITH THEM FELLAS.

BUZZARDS GOT TO EAT...

SAME AS WORMS.

A REAL FROG STRANGLER.

10, 20 MORE MILES BEFORE WE'LL BE SAFE IN THE NATIONS.

THERE'S CAVALRY BETWEEN US AND THE NATION.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT TILL THEY BED DOWN,

THEN WALK THROUGH QUIET.

HERE. HAVE SOME BEEF JERKY.

SWALLOW NOTHING BUT THE JUICE.

I'M GOING TO GO HAVE A LOOK-SEE.

FEEL ALL RIGHT?

I FEEL REAL GOOD, JOSEY.

WE GOT 'EM WHUPPED.

[COUGHS]

JOSEY, I WANT TO THANK YOU.

FOR WHAT?

SAVING MY LIFE.

FORGET ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING, JOSEY?

I AIN'T SCARED NO MORE.

ALL RIGHT.

WE CAN START WORKING OUR WAY THROUGH NOW, BOY.

THE RAIN'S GIVING US A--

THIS BOY WAS BROUGHT UP IN A...

TIME OF BLOOD AND DYIN',

AND NEVER QUESTIONED IT.

NEVER TURNED HIS BACK ON HIS FOLKS OR HIS KIND.

I RODE WITH HIM.

I GOT NO COMPLAINTS.

BLUEBELLIES WILL GIVE YOU A...

BETTER BURIAL THAN I CAN, BOY.

HALT!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

COME ON. GET HIM!

HOWDY.

HOWDY.

NAME'S JOSEY WALES.

I'VE HEARD OF THAT NAME.

SOME SAID YOU'D BE HEADED THIS WAY,

AND THEY SAID A MAN COULD GET RICH ON REWARD MONEY

IF HE WOULD KILL YOU.

SEEMS LIKE YOU WAS LOOKIN' TO GAIN SOME MONEY HERE.

ACTUALLY, I WAS LOOKING TO GAIN AN EDGE.

I THOUGHT YOU'D BE SOMEONE

WHO'D SNEAK UP BEHIND ME WITH A GUN.

WHERE'D YOU EVER GET AN IDEA LIKE THAT?

IT AIN'T EASY TO SNEAK UP BEHIND AN INDIAN.

I'M AN INDIAN, ALL RIGHT,

BUT HERE IN THE NATION,

THEY CALL US THE CIVILIZED TRIBE.

THEY CALL US CIVILIZED BECAUSE WE'RE EASY TO SNEAK UP ON.

WHITE MEN HAVE BEEN SNEAKING UP ON US

FOR YEARS.

CHEROKEE, HUH?

YEAH.

THEY SNEAKED UP ON US,

AND THEY TOLD US WE WOULDN'T BE HAPPY HERE.

THEY SAID WE'D BE HAPPIER IN THE NATIONS.

SO THEY TOOK AWAY OUR LAND...

AND SENT US HERE.

I HAVE A FINE WOMAN...

AND TWO SONS,

BUT THEY ALL DIED ON THE TRAIL OF TEARS.

AND NOW,

THE WHITE MAN IS SNEAKING UP ON ME...

AGAIN.

SEEMS LIKE WE CAN'T TRUST THE WHITE MAN.

YOU BET WE CAN'T.

I WORE THIS, UH... FROCK COAT

IN WASHINGTON, BEFORE THE WAR.

WE WORE THEM

BECAUSE WE BELONGED TO THE FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES.

WE DRESSED OURSELF UP LIKE ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO SEE

THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR.

AND HE SAID...

"BOY, YOU BOYS SURE LOOK CIVILIZED."

HE CONGRATULATED US,

AND HE GAVE US MEDALS

FOR LOOKING SO CIVILIZED.

WE TOLD HIM

ABOUT HOW OUR LAND HAD BEEN STOLEN

AND OUR PEOPLE WERE DYING.

WHEN WE FINISHED,

HE SHOOK OUR HANDS

AND SAID,

"ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE."

THEY STOOD US IN A LINE--

JOHN JUMPER, CHILI McINTOSH,

BUFFALO HUMP,

AND, UH, JIM POCKMARK, AND ME.

I'M LONE WATIE.

THEY TOOK OUR PICTURES,

AND THE NEWSPAPER SAID,

"INJUNS VOW TO ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE."

WE THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME.

ENDEAVOR TO PERSEVERE.

AND WHEN WE HAD THOUGHT ABOUT IT LONG ENOUGH,

WE DECLARED WAR ON THE UNION.

[SNORING]

SERGEANT SAID

THIS KID TRIED TO RIDE THROUGH THEIR CAMP.

THEY GOT HIM.

THEY DID, DID THEY?

MM-HMM.

THEY'VE HAD MEN ON GUARD HERE NIGHT AND DAY.

NO WAY WALES COULD'VE GOTTEN THROUGH TO THE NATIONS.

WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING, FLETCHER?

I'M HEADING INTO THE INDIAN NATIONS.

WHY DON'T YOU STAY HERE, REDLEGS?

WALES MAY BE BACK IN A YEAR OR TWO.

WHEN WE GET TO THE NATIONS,

I WANT YOU TO FAN OUT.

$5,000 TO THE ONE WHO GETS HIM.

A HORNED TOAD CAN TELL YOU WHICH WAY TO GO.

I USED TO KNOW THESE THINGS WHEN I WAS YOUNG.

BUT WHEN I GOT CIVILIZED,

I FORGOT ALL THESE THINGS.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO.

THE HORNED TOAD SAYS WE SHOULD GO TO MEXICO.

WELL, LONE WATIE...

YOU CAN TAKE YOUR HORNED TOAD DOWN MEXICO WAY.

I'VE GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS IN MISSOURI.

I HEARD, UH, GENERAL JOE SHELBY

AND SOME MEN REFUSED TO SURRENDER.

THEY'RE GOING DOWN TO MEXICO.

I THINK I'LL JOIN THEM.

SHELBY, HUH?

I DIDN'T KNOW OTHERS HADN'T SURRENDERED.

I DIDN'T SURRENDER NEITHER,

BUT, UH, THEY TOOK MY HORSE

AND MADE HIM SURRENDER.

THEY HAVE HIM PULLING A WAGON UP IN KANSAS, I'LL BET.

IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT A HORSE,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, WALKING TO MEXICO?

NO. THERE'S A TRADING POST

RIGHT NEAR THE CREEK NATION.

THEY GOT HORSES TO TRADE.

YOU HAVE ANY FOOD HERE?

ALL I HAVE IS A PIECE OF HARD ROCK CANDY.

BUT IT'S NOT FOR EATING.

IT'S JUST FOR LOOKING THROUGH.

ALL RIGHTY.

I'LL GET YOU A HORSE.

WHAT THE HELL YOU GOT THERE?

MUSKRAT.

MUSKRAT? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

MUSKRAT?

NO. NO, SIR.

YOU'VE GOT TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING MORE.

BEAVER?

BEAVER AIN'T NO GOOD.

GIVE ME 10 MUSKRAT...

AND 30 BEAVER PELTS,

I'LL GIVE YOU RED CLOTH.

THAT'S A VERY GOOD BARGAIN FOR YOU.

HERE.

YOU GO HAVE A DRINK AND THINK ABOUT IT.

SPILLING!

OH...

[WHINNY]

YOU BRING SOME DRINK INSIDE, YOU HEAR?

I TELL YA,

THIS JERKY--

PUT IT ON OUR BILL.

WHAT ABOUT THESE COUGAR PELTS?

GOING TO PUT THEM ON OUR BILL, TOO?

PTUI.

THIS IS WHAT YOU GIVE THOSE INDIANS.

WHERE'S THE REAL STUFF?

WHAT'LL YOU TAKE FOR THE SQUAW?

SHE AIN'T FOR SALE.

I MEAN, SHE AIN'T MINE.

SHE WORKS HERE.

SEE THAT NOSE SCAR?

HUH?

KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS TO A CHEYENNE?

ONE TOO MANY BUCKS.

LITTLE SQUAW LIKES HER BUCKS, HUH?

YOU PUT HER ON THE BILL, TOO.

I'LL BE LOOKING FOR A HORSE.

A HORSE?

UH, THE HORSES BELONG TO THESE GENTLEMEN.

MORE THAN LIKELY-- THAT IS...

I'M SURE THEY'D SELL YOU ONE.

UH, LOOK, I GOT SOME BEER.

SOME GOOD-BREWED CHOCK.

IT'S ON THE HOUSE.

DO YOU SUPPOSE THESE GENTLEMEN

WILL BE AVAILABLE TO DISCUSS BUSINESS AFORE LONG?

NOW GIVE ME A BUCKET OF THAT CHOCK.

I GOT HIM!

I GOT ME JOSEY WALES.

LUKE, 5,000 GOLD SIMOLEONS WALKED RIGHT IN.

RIGHT TO US.

WAI-WAIT A MINUTE.

HE'S IN MY PLACE.

I RECOGNIZED HIM, TOO,

AND I'M DUE AN EVEN SPLIT.

MR. CHAIN-BLUE LIGHTNIN' HISSELF.

WELL...

THE ONE THAT EVERYONE'S SO SCARED ABOUT.

YEAH.

WELL, MR. LIGHTNIN',

MOVE A MUSCLE,

TWITCH YOUR FINGER,

AND I'LL SPLATTER YOUR GUTS ALL OVER THE WALL.

MR. LIGHTNIN',

WHEN I SAY MOVE, YOU MOVE REAL SLOW,

LIKE 'LASSES IN WINTERTIME.

ALL RIGHT, DROP THAT HAMMER.

NOW, JUST EASE YOUR HANDS DOWN,

TAKE THEM GUNS OUT, BUTT FIRST...

SO YOU DON'T GET HOLD OF THEM.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

NOD, DAMN YOU.

NOW...

EASE THEM PISTOLS OUT.

WELL, LET'S SEE...

YOU SAY THOSE HORSES BELONG TO THEM THERE PILGRIMS, HUH?

HOWDY.

HOWDY.

I'M GETTING BETTER SNEAKING UP ON YOU LIKE THIS.

ONLY AN INDIAN CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

THAT'S WHAT I FIGURED.

YOU FIGURED?

ONLY AN INDIAN COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

[GUN COCKS]

IT'S NOT RIGHT, THIS DAMN WOMAN DOING THIS TO ME.

I USED TO HAVE POWER.

NOW OLD AGE IS CREEPING UP ON ME.

I THINK IT'S MORE LIKE OLD HABITS THAN OLD AGE.

WHO THE HELL IS THIS WOMAN?

SHE WAS BACK AT THE TRADING POST,

GOT IN SOME KIND OF TROUBLE.

SHE'S NOT GOING TO MEXICO WITH US.

WITH US?

I GOT YOU A HORSE. YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN NOW.

I'VE SEEN A LOT TODAY.

I'VE SEEN PATROLS OF SOLDIERS ALL DAY.

EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR YOU.

SHE'S NOT GOING WITH US.

[SPEAKING NAVAJO]

SHE SAYS SHE'S NAVAJO,

BUT SHE WAS CAPTURED BY THE CHEYENNES.

SHE WAS VIOLATED BY A BUCK OF THE ARAPAHOS.

THEIR SIGN IS THE DIRTY NOSE SIGN.

CHEYENNE CHIEF BLACK CATTLE,

HE FIGURES SHE DID NOT RESIST ENOUGH.

[SPEAKING NAVAJO]

HELL, OLD MAN, CAN'T YOU GET HER TO SHUT UP?

[SPEAKING NAVAJO]

[SPEAKING NAVAJO]

ANYWAY, SHE SAYS WHEN SHE COME TO THAT TRADING POST,

SHE DIDN'T KNOW THIS MAN ZUKIE LIMMER WAS SELLING LIQUOR.

SHE ALSO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

THAT ALTHOUGH HE BEAT HER A LOT,

NOTHING HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM.

AND SHE SAYS YOU ARE A GREAT WARRIOR

AND THAT SHE SORT OF BELONGS TO YOU

FOR WHAT YOU DONE FOR HER.

LOOK, YOU TELL HER I DON'T WANT NOBODY BELONGING TO ME.

THAT MEAL WAS DAMN GOOD.

I'M GOING TO TAKE UP TEPEE LIVING IF IT'S LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW, SHE THINKS I'M SOME KIND OF A CHEROKEE CHIEF.

I WONDER WHERE SHE EVER GOT THAT IDEA.

CHIEF?

CHIEF?

CHIEF, I WAS JUST WONDERING,

I SUPPOSE THAT MANGY REDBONE HOUND

GOT NO PLACE ELSE TO GO, EITHER.

WELL, YOU MIGHT AS WELL RIDE ALONG WITH US.

HELL, EVERYBODY ELSE IS.

[GRRR]

YAHOO!

WHOO WHOO WHOO!

HEY, YOU...

BUY SOME INDIAN SCALPS?

NASTY HABIT, YOUNG FELLA.

YOU BORN IN A BARN?

HOLD IT-- REAL STILL.

THE WHEAT IS FROM KANSAS,

AND THE MOLASSES COMES FROM MISSOURI.

WELL, SIR, WE'LL DO WITHOUT MOLASSES.

ANYTHING FROM MISSOURI HAS A TAINT.

GRANDMA, YOU GOT TO TREAD LIGHTLY HERE IN TEXAS.

NICE GENTLEMEN FROM MISSOURI COME WEST.

NICE THINGS FROM MISSOURI DON'T COME WEST,

AND TREADING LIGHTLY ISN'T MY WAY.

WE'RE KANSAS JAYHAWKERS AND PROUD OF IT.

I UNDERSTAND. I'M A HOOSIER MYSELF.

PERSONALLY, I DON'T THINK MUCH OF HOOSIERS, NEITHER.

YES, FRIENDS, YES.

THIS IS A POSITIVE REMEDY FOR WEARINESS,

TURGIDITY OF THE BOWELS,

AND, UH--

AND, UH...

SAY, YOU'RE AN INDIAN, AREN'T YOU?

HA...HA HA HA.

UH, YOU SPEAK ANY ENGLISH?

WELL, SIR,

THIS IS THE VERY BEST THING

FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T HANDLE THEIR LIQUOR.

HA HA HA HA HA...

WHAT'S IN IT?

I--I DON'T KNOW. VARIOUS THINGS.

I'M ONLY THE SALESMAN.

YOU DRINK IT.

WHAT'S THAT?

YOU DRINK IT.

WELL...

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A NONBELIEVER?

THAT OLD LADY DON'T KNOW THE TROUBLE SHE CAN FIND TALKING LIKE THAT.

TOO MANY FOLKS AROUND HERE WITH THIN SKIN.

SOUTHERN BOYS BEEN GETTING INTO TROUBLE HERE IN TEXAS.

COLONEL BAKER AND CAPTAIN BOB LEE

BEEN FIGHTING OVER IN FANNIN COUNTY.

BILL LONGLY, REED TAYLOR,

AND ALL THEM TAYLORS DOWN IN GONZALEZ.

KILLED SIM FIXEN OVER IN COTTON GIN.

WEIGHTED HIM DOWN WITH LEAD.

I GOT A PICTURE POST CARD OF IT.

HERE. HAVE A LOOK.

JOSEY WALES.

WHAT SAY?

JOSEY WALES IS COMING INTO TEXAS.

NOT THROUGH HERE.

KILLED 50, 60 MEN.

REGULATORS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE LOOKING FOR HIM.

HOW MUCH FOR ALL THIS STUFF?

$3.00.

I'M SURE THOSE REGULATORS WOULD PAY PLENTY

TO THE MAN WHO COULD IDENTIFY JOSEY WALES.

RECKON SO.

AND HOW ABOUT YOU, SIR?

JUST A FEW BOTTLES LEFT.

YOU WON'T REGRET...

OH, MY GOD.

IT'S JOSEY WALES!

JOSEY WALES?

ARE YOU GOING TO PULL THOSE PISTOLS OR WHISTLE DIXIE?

[GUNSHOT]

I TOLD YOU TO STAY INSIDE!

GOD DAMN INDIAN SQUAW!

LET'S GO!

WELCOME TO TEXAS, MR. LONE WATIE.

I GUESS WE AIN'T GOING TO SEE THAT LITTLE NAVAJO GIRL AGAIN.

I GUESS NOT.

I KIND OF LIKED HER,

BUT THEN, IT'S ALWAYS LIKE THAT.

LIKE WHAT?

AFTER I GET TO LIKING SOMEONE, THEY AIN'T AROUND LONG.

I NOTICED WHEN YOU GET TO DISLIKING SOMEONE,

THEY AIN'T AROUND FOR LONG, NEITHER.

HOW DID YOU KNOW WHICH ONE WAS GOING TO SHOOT FIRST?

WELL, THAT ONE IN THE CENTER,

HE HAD A FLAP HOLSTER. AND WAS IN NO ITCHING HURRY.

THE ONE SECOND FROM THE LEFT,

HE HAD SCARED EYES. HE WASN'T STARTIN' NOTHING.

BUT THAT ONE ON THE FAR LEFT,

HE HAD CRAZY EYES.

FIGURED HIM TO MAKE THE FIRST MOVE.

HOW ABOUT THE ONE ON THE RIGHT?

NEVER PAID HIM NO MIND.

YOU WERE THERE.

I COULD HAVE MISSED.

IT WAS JOSEY WALES, ALL RIGHT.

SAW HIM HEADING OUT OF TOWN

WITH A RENEGADE INJUN.

I CAN IDENTIFY HIM,

AND I'D CERTAINLY BE GLAD TO SHARE IN ANY REWARD.

KNEW HIM QUITE WELL, ACTUALLY.

WELL, NOT A HARD MAN TO TRACK.

LEAVES DEAD MEN WHEREVER HE GOES.

HE'S HEADING NORTH NOW.

RIDING WITH A RENEGADE INDIAN.

HE'S HEADING NORTH NOW,

BUT HE'LL TURN SOUTHWEST, HEAD FOR MEXICO.

THEN WE'LL TURN SOUTHWEST AND HEAD FOR MEXICO.

TELL THEM TO HEAD NORTH.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

LOOK AT THOSE BOYS OVER THERE...

TIED-DOWN GUNS...

BOUNTY HUNTERS.

COME OUT OF A WAR,

GOT NO OTHER WAY TO MAKE A LIVING.

EVERY LAST MOTHER'S SON

WANTS THAT MONEY YOU GOT ON WALES' HEAD.

YOU AND ME DIDN'T RIDE ALL THAT WAY FOR THAT.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR WALES IS DEAD.

I WANT TO SEE WALES DEAD.

WE'RE HEADING NORTH, MEN.

LET'S RIDE.

THEY'RE FOLLOWING US.

COUPLE OF HORSES.

FAR OFF. MOVING FAST.

I DON'T HEAR NOTHING.

GOT TO BE AN INDIAN TO KNOW THOSE THINGS.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S TAKE THEM OUT IN THE SAND.

GLAD YOU STOPPED ME WHEN YOU DID.

I MIGHT HAVE KILLER HER.

OH, I NOTICED THAT.

SHE GOT SOME SUPPLIES AND--AND OUR HORSES

AND FOLLOWED US AROUND.

SHE SAID THAT WE WAS THE ONLY KIN SHE HAD.

YEAH, I'LL BET WE ARE AT THAT.

YOU KNOW, EVERY MAN THAT I EVER KNEW

WHO WAS GOOD WITH A GUN AND LIVED

ALWAYS HAD AN EDGE.

SOME OF THEM WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE SUN BEHIND THEIR BACK.

THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA.

YEAH. SURE PAYS TO HAVE AN EDGE.

YEAH.

ALL KIND OF EDGES.

YEP.

YEP.

HOWDY.

HOWDY.

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG?

NOPE.

I GUESS YOU WERE RIGHT.

I AIN'T THAT OLD AFTER ALL.

HMM.

NOT MANY MEN WEST OF HERE.

WE'RE GETTING INTO COMANCHE COUNTRY.

WAGON TRACKS...

BUT I NEVER SEEN TRACKS LIKE THESE,

NEVER HEARD OF COMANCHES TRAVELING IN TWO-WHEELED CARTS.

COMANCHEROS.

[SPEAKING NAVAJO]

COMANCHEROS--

TRADE LIQUOR AND GUN TO COMANCHE FOR HORSES.

TRADE WOMEN, TOO.

HOW MANY OF 'EM?

EIGHT... MAYBE NINE HORSES

AND A COUPLE OF CARTS.

[SPEAKING NAVAJO]

THOSE POOR PILGRIMS FROM KANSAS.

DON'T LOOK TOO PROUD NOW, DO THEY?

[PIANO STRINGS THRUM]

WHY, YOU MISERABLE SON OF A BITCH!

TEN BEARS IS GOING TO WANT HIMSELF A FRESH WOMAN.

FRESH, THAT GAL BRINGS MAYBE 20 HORSES.

NOW, IF ONE OF YOU HAS TO,

TAKE THAT OLD WOMAN OVER THERE.

SHE MIGHT BE WORTH MAYBE ONE DONKEY.

FIX YOURSELF.

[DOG WHIMPERS]

MOVE FASTER!

IF YOU FALL,

THEY'LL LET YOU DIE.

KEEP WALKING.

COME AROUND HERE, BITCH. COME AROUND HERE.

COME HERE.

NOW, YOU LISTEN.

I WANT YOU LOOKING GOOD WHEN WE GET TEN BEARS.

FIRST CHANCE, YOU JUMP IN THAT WAGON

AND PUT ON ONE OF YOUR BEST LITTLE DRESSES.

HEH HEH HEH.

MIGHT BOOST THE PRICE.

IF YOU LOOK GOOD ENOUGH,

I MIGHT OUTBID TEN BEARS AND TAKE YOU MYSELF.

HA HA HA HA HA...

IF I FIGURE THIS RIGHT,

WE'RE FACING THE SUN.

THIS OUGHT TO GIVE HIM AN EDGE.

OH...

WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHAT THE HELL'S HE WANT?

LOOKS LIKE A PARLAY.

WELL, YOU GOING TO SIT THERE ALL DAY

OR RIDE OUT AND SEE WHAT HE WANTS?

GET READY, LITTLE LADY.

HELL IS COMING TO BREAKFAST.

THAT'S A MIGHTY NICE HORSE YOU GOT THERE, MISTER.

WOULD YOU SELL HIM?

HA. WE WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD PRICE.

HA HA HA HA HA HA.

NOW SPIT.

JUST GET OFF THE HORSE.

OUT OF THE WAY!

[GUNSHOTS]

iNO ME MATE!

iNO ME MATE!

NOW YOU'LL KILL US, I SUPPOSE.

I'D HAVE BEEN HALFWAY TO MEXICO BY NOW

EXCEPT FOR THAT CRAZY SQUAW.

CAN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD SHE SAYS.

I KNEW THAT WOULD BRING YOU.

HELP US.

HELP US.

COMANCHES.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LIKE US KILLING THEIR FRIENDS.

WE BETTER GET MOVING.

LOOKS LIKE A FAMILY OF HOGS

JUST MOVED OUT OF THE SEAT OF THESE BRITCHES.

OH, I HAD SUCH BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES

I WAS TAKING TO OUR RANCH.

WHERE ABOUTS IS THIS RANCH?

MY SON'S RANCH--

HE FOUND BEFORE THE WAR

NEAR A TOWN CALLED SANTA RIO.

CREEK WITH GOOD WATER,

TREES, CATTLE, BLACK-TAILED DEER.

IT'S A REGULAR PARADISE WE'RE HEADED TO.

OUT THERE?

YOUR SON TOLD YOU THIS WAS OUT THERE?

TOLD ME THAT NEAR A PLACE CALLED BLOOD BUTTE.

MY SON WAS TRUE BLUE, MR. WALES.

NEVER LIED.

IT'LL BE THERE, ALL RIGHT.

YES, MA'AM. I'M SURE IT WILL BE.

COTTONWOODS, LIVE OAKS,

WILD HORSES, ANTELOPE...

LOTS OF QUAIL...

YOU SEE 'EM?

WHAT?

CLOUDS. OVER THERE.

CLOUDS ARE LIKE...

DREAMS FLOATIN' ACROSS THE SKY-BLUE MIND.

WELL, HONEY, I NEVER THOUGHT OF THEM THAT WAY.

INDIAN,

THIS MR. WALES IS A COLD-BLOODED KILLER.

HE'S FROM MISSOURI

WHERE THEY'RE ALL KNOWN TO BE KILLERS

OF INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN.

WOULD YOU RATHER BE RIDING WITH COMANCHEROS, GRANNY?

NO, I WOULDN'T.

♪ I LOST MY SWEET LOVER ♪

♪ IN THAT DIRTY OLD MINE ♪

♪ AND HE'S NOT COMING BACK ♪

♪ NO MATTER HOW LONG I WAIT ♪

♪ MY LOVER IS COMING-- ♪

WHAT WILL YOU HAVE?

WHISKEY.

HA HA. "WHISKEY," HE SAYS.

HOW ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE?

WELL, A BEER THEN.

GET THOSE GENTS SOME, TOO.

YOU, TOO, MA'AM.

HA HA HA...

THAT'S MIGHTY DECENT, MISTER.

BEEN A LONG TIME

SINCE ANYBODY BOUGHT A DRINK AROUND HERE.

LONG TIME SINCE WE HAD ANYTHING TO DRINK AROUND HERE.

OR ANYTHING ELSE.

YEAH, FIRST THE SILVER RUN OUT OF THE SANTA RIO,

THEN THE PEOPLE RUN OUT,

THEN THE WHISKEY,

THEN THE BEER RUN OUT.

WELL, NO MATTER.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE A HIGH ROLLER WANDER THROUGH.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO OFFEND HIM.

SOME FELLAS DON'T LIKE TO BE CALLED HIGH ROLLERS.

I KNOWED A FELLA DIDN'T LIKE TO BE CALLED HIGH-HANDED.

WE'LL HAVE WHISKEY ALL AROUND.

COMANCHERO BRAND.

YEE-HOO!

WHOA-HO!

ANGELS OF MERCY COME TO SANTA RIO!

THIS AIN'T SANTA RIO.

MY SON TOM TURNER SAID IT WAS A THRIVING PLACE.

IT WAS.

WHEN THE SILVER RUN OUT,

THE THRIVIN' RUN OUT.

I DO DECLARE.

MIGHT YOU BE THE MOTHER OF TOM TURNER

WHOSE RANCH IS OVER BY BLOOD BUTTE?

THAT I MIGHT, MISS.

WELL, I AM ROSE!

ROSE OF SANTA RIO!

I RECKON HE WROTE YOU ALL ABOUT ME.

I DON'T RECOLLECT THAT.

AFTER HIS LUCY PASSED ON,

HE DIDN'T SHOW MUCH INTEREST IN WOMEN.

MY SONNY BOY KEPT HIS NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE,

PROVIDING A FUTURE FOR ME AND HIS DAUGHTER THERE.

I DO SEEM TO RECALL HIM TELLING ME

SOMETHING ABOUT A DAUGHTER WHO WAS...

A LITTLE ODD.

HE WAS KILLED IN THE BORDER WAR

BY MISSOURI RUFFIANS.

HE DIED A PROUD MEMBER

OF SENATOR JIM LANE'S REDLEGS,

FIGHTING FOR THE JUST CAUSE.

OH, I AM SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

HE WAS OF THE FINEST SORT.

SEÑORA, PLEASE SIT DOWN.

YOU MUST BE VERY, VERY TIRED.

I AM DEEPLY SORROWED TO HEAR THIS.

IN PAST YEARS,

MY FRIEND AND I WERE OF SERVICE

TO YOUR TOM TURNER.

AND NOW, WE ARE AT YOUR SERVICE.

WHY, I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN.

I AM GLAD TO FIND MANNERS AT LAST

HERE IN THE WILDERNESS.

WE HAVE ENDURED HARDSHIP OF THE WORST SORT

ON THE WAY OUT HERE.

GRANDPA SAMUEL AND UNCLE ENOCH

FELL PREY TO COMANCHEROS.

LET'S HAVE A DRINK

TO THE DAMN SILVER RUNNING OUT.

THAT'S BAD LUCK, THE SILVER RUNNING OUT.

I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER KIND.

[GRR]

HA HA HA HA. FUNNY.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

I'M LOOKING FOR JOSEY WALES.

THAT'D BE ME.

YOU'RE WANTED, WALES.

I RECKON I'M RIGHT POPULAR.

YOU A BOUNTY HUNTER?

A MAN'S GOT TO DO SOMETHING FOR A LIVING.

DYING AIN'T MUCH OF A LIVING, BOY.

YOU KNOW, THIS ISN'T NECESSARY.

YOU CAN JUST RIDE ON.

WHEW.

[SPURS JINGLING]

I HAD TO COME BACK.

I KNOW.

COMANCHE?

COMANCHES, ALL RIGHT.

ANY MORE OF THEM, YOU THINK?

I THINK THAT'S ALL THERE IS,

BUT THEY HAVE HORSES, BUCK, AND ANTELOPE,

SO I FIGURE THEY'RE NOT A RAIDING PARTY.

BUT YOU NEVER CAN TELL, THESE COMANCHES.

YOU STAY WITH THE CART.

JUST LOOKING US OVER, I GUESS.

WELL, THEY'RE PACKING HEAVY.

THEY MAY RETURN.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S MOVE OUT.

IF THEY RIDE WITH TEN BEARS,

THEY WILL COME BACK.

TEN BEARS IS THE GREATEST COMANCHE WAR CHIEF,

BUT HE'S ANGRY.

EACH YEAR HE'S MET WITH ONE OF YOUR BLUECOAT GENERALS.

AIN'T ONE OF MY GENERALS.

EACH YEAR HE IS PUSHED FURTHER ACROSS THE PLAIN.

GENERAL SHERMAN HAS COME WITH MORE PROMISES,

BUT TEN BEARS WILL MOVE NO MORE.

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

ALL RIGHT. WE CAN GET TO WORK DUSTING FIRST.

WE'VE GOT A NICE DUTCH OVEN IN THE FIREPLACE.

MR. WALES,

YOU MEN CHOP SOME WOOD,

AND I'LL...

GET EVERYTHING DONE.

MR. WALES!

DID YOU COME ALL THIS WAY TO GAWK?

YOU DON'T WORK,

YOU DON'T EAT AROUND HERE.

DIDN'T FIGURE YOU FOR A LOAFER.

[SWALLOWS]

YOU KNOW, SHE TOLD ME

IT'S THE FIRST TIME SHE EVER HAD A PLACE OF HER OWN.

GRANDMA SAYS IT'S OUR HOME.

IT IS ALL OF OURS.

I'M GLAD THERE'LL BE A MAN AROUND

TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS.

I'LL BE DROPPING BACK FROM TIME TO TIME,

PROBABLY JUST TO HOLE UP.

WHY DON'T YOU STAY WITH US?

BE OUR PARTNER.

THEY WON'T MISS YOU.

MAYBE THEY'LL FORGET YOU.

YOU KNOW THERE AIN'T NO FORGETTING.

OLE, JOSEY.

iOLE!

WE'RE GOING TO SANTA RIO.

♪ IN THE SWEET BY-AND-BY ♪

♪ WE SHALL MEET ON THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE ♪

♪ IN THE SWEET ♪

♪ BY-AND-BY ♪

♪ WE WILL MEET ON THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE ♪

♪ IN THE SWEET ♪

♪ BY-AND-BY ♪

♪ WE WILL MEET ON THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE ♪

LORD, THANKS A LOT

FOR BRINGING US TO THIS PLACE.

PA AND DANIEL DIED AT THE HANDS

OF THAT LOW-DOWN MURDERING TRASH OUT OF HELL

THAT DONE THEM IN,

BUT THEY PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT

AND DIED THE BEST THEY COULD.

AND THANKS A LOT FOR JOSEY WALES,

WHO YOU CHANGED FROM A MURDERING BUSHWACKER

ON THE SIDE OF SATAN

TO A BETTER MAN

TRYING TO DELIVER US FROM THE PHILISTINES.

AND THANK THE LORD

FOR GETTING US TOGETHER IN TEXAS.

HEY, YOU ALL RIGHT?

TEN BEARS...

HE GOT TRAVIS AND CHATO.

HE'LL BE RIDING HERE IN THE MORNING.

[SPEAKING NAVAJO]

IF I WAS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HOLE UP,

I'D PICK THIS ONE.

THE WALLS AND THE CEILING 2 FEET THICK.

ALL MADE OF MUD, NOTHING TO BURN.

TWO DOORS, FRONT AND BACK,

RIGHT IN SIGHT OF ONE ANOTHER.

THESE CROSSES ARE TO FIRE RIFLES THROUGH.

UP AND DOWN, SIDE TO SIDE.

YOUR TOM TURNER KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING.

I'LL BE SHOOTING OUT OF THAT DOOR.

I'D RATHER YOU SIT THERE AND LOAD.

CAN YOU DO THAT?

I CAN.

MOONLIGHT...

RIGHT UNDERNEATH THIS DOOR.

YOU FIRE THROUGH HERE, RIGHT?

RIGHT THROUGH THIS WINDOW.

CAN YOU SHOOT A RIFLE?

I'LL TRY.

LONE, YOU TAKE THIS WINDOW HERE AND THE DOOR,

WHEREVER THE MOST FIRE IS COMING FROM.

KEEP AN EYE ON THAT HALLWAY THERE.

BECAUSE...

THE ONLY BLIND SPOT IS THE CEILING.

THEY'LL GET AROUND TO IT.

THEY CAN'T SHOOT THROUGH IT,

BUT THEY MIGHT DIG A HOLE IN IT

AND DROP DOWN IN THE BEDROOM.

NOW, REMEMBER,

WHEN THINGS LOOK BAD,

AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WON'T MAKE IT,

THEN YOU GOT TO GET MEAN.

I MEAN PLUMB MAD-DOG MEAN,

'CAUSE IF YOU LOSE YOUR HEAD AND GIVE UP,

THEN YOU NEITHER LIVE NOR WIN.

THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.

USE PISTOLS AT SHORT RANGE.

MORE FIREPOWER. LESS RELOADING.

KEEP THIS FIRE GOING. KEEP AN IRON ON IT RED HOT.

ANYBODY GETS HIT, SING OUT.

SLAP FIRE INTO IT.

THAT'LL STOP THE BLOOD.

WHAT'S ALL THAT PAINT ABOUT?

IT'S MY DEATH FACE.

WELL, WE'RE SURE GOING TO SHOW THEM REDSKINS SOMETHING TOMORROW.

NO OFFENSE MEANT.

NONE TAKEN.

WHERE'S HE GOING?

HE CAN DO THE BEST FOR US ON A HORSE.

HE'S A GUERRILLA FIGHTER.

HE FIGURES HE CAN CARRY THE FIGHT TO THE ENEMY.

HE'S GOING INTO THE VALLEY TO KILL TEN BEARS

AND AS MANY OF THE MEN AS HE CAN.

HOW WILL HE DO THAT AND COME BACK HERE?

HE WON'T COME BACK.

JOSEY!

YOU'LL BE TEN BEARS?

I AM TEN BEARS.

I'M JOSEY WALES.

I HAVE HEARD.

YOU ARE THE GRAY RIDER.

YOU WOULD NOT MAKE PEACE WITH THE BLUECOATS.

YOU MAY GO IN PEACE.

I RECKON NOT.

I GOT NOWHERE TO GO.

THEN YOU WILL DIE.

I CAME HERE TO DIE WITH YOU...

OR LIVE WITH YOU.

DYING AIN'T SO HARD FOR MEN LIKE YOU AND ME.

IT'S LIVING THAT'S HARD

WHEN ALL YOU'VE EVER CARED ABOUT

HAS BEEN BUTCHERED OR RAPED.

GOVERNMENTS DON'T LIVE TOGETHER.

PEOPLE LIVE TOGETHER.

WITH GOVERNMENTS YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET A FAIR WORD

OR A FAIR FIGHT.

I'VE COME TO GIVE YOU EITHER ONE

OR GET EITHER ONE FROM YOU.

I CAME HERE LIKE THIS

SO YOU'LL KNOW MY WORD OF DEATH IS TRUE

AND THAT MY WORD OF LIFE IS THEN TRUE.

THE BEAR LIVES HERE...

THE WOLF, THE ANTELOPE...

THE COMANCHE...

AND SO WILL WE,

AND WE'LL ONLY HUNT WHAT WE NEED TO LIVE ON,

SAME AS THE COMANCHE DOES.

EVERY SPRING WHEN THE GRASS TURNS GREEN

AND THE COMANCHE MOVES NORTH,

HE CAN REST HERE IN PEACE,

BUTCHER SOME OF OUR CATTLE,

AND JERK BEEF FOR THE JOURNEY.

THE SIGN OF THE COMANCHE,

THAT WILL BE ON OUR LODGE.

THAT'S MY WORD OF LIFE.

AND YOUR WORD OF DEATH?

IT'S HERE IN MY PISTOLS

AND THERE IN YOUR RIFLES.

I'M HERE FOR EITHER ONE.

THESE THINGS YOU SAY WE WILL HAVE,

WE ALREADY HAVE.

THAT'S TRUE.

I AIN'T PROMISING YOU NOTHING EXTRA.

I'M JUST GIVING YOU LIFE, AND YOU'RE GIVING ME LIFE,

AND I'M SAYING THAT MEN CAN LIVE TOGETHER

WITHOUT BUTCHERING ONE ANOTHER.

IT'S SAD THAT GOVERNMENTS

ARE CHIEFED BY THE DOUBLE-TONGUES.

THERE IS IRON IN YOUR WORDS OF DEATH

FOR ALL COMANCHE TO SEE,

AND SO THERE IS IRON IN YOUR WORDS OF LIFE.

NO SIGNED PAPER CAN HOLD THE IRON.

IT MUST COME FROM MEN.

TEN BEARS' WORDS

CARRIES THE SAME IRON OF LIFE AND DEATH.

IT IS GOOD THAT WARRIORS SUCH AS WE MEET

IN THE STRUGGLE OF LIFE...

OR DEATH.

IT SHALL BE LIFE.

SO WILL IT BE.

I RECKON SO.

I'LL BE DAMNED. LOOK AT THIS.

COME. SIT DOWN.

OH, I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE YOU AGAIN, GRANDMA.

OH, GOD!

OH, SIT DOWN.

NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE GLAD

TO SEE ANOTHER INDIAN.

HOO!

YOO!

HEY, HEY! ALL RIGHT!

YEE-HOO!

[MOO]

I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU, MR. WALES.

I MADE THIS CHAIN FOR YOU.

I BRAIDED IT FROM MY HAIR.

THAT'S REAL NICE.

THAT REALLY IS.

IT'S A WATCH CHAIN.

YEAH, WELL, IT'S A...NICE ONE.

IT'LL COME IN HANDY.

I THANK YOU FOR IT.

UH, YOU--YOU DO HAVE A WATCH, DON'T YOU?

UH, WELL, I BEEN MEANING TO GET ONE, YEAH.

COULD WE, UM, PLAY A SONG FOR YOU?

I'M AFRAID I DON'T KNOW TOO MANY SONGS.

COULD WE PLAY SOMETHING YOU LIKE?

ONLY SONG I CAN THINK OF IS ROSE OF ALABAMIE.

HEY, WE REMEMBER THAT OLD PIECE.

ROSIE, COME HERE.

PICK UP.

♪ AWAY FROM MISSISSIPPI'S VALE ♪

♪ WITH MY OLD HALF FARE FOR A SALE ♪

♪ I CROSSED UPON A COTTON BALE ♪

♪ TO THE ROSE OF ALABAMA ♪

♪ OH, BROWN ROSIE... ♪

DO YOU DANCE?

NO.

I DON'T, EITHER.

♪ A SWEET TOBACCO POSEY ♪

♪ IS THE ROSE OF ALABAMA ♪

♪ A SWEET TOBACCO POSEY ♪

♪ IS THE ROSE OF ALABAMA ♪

HELP US OUT NOW.

♪ OH, BROWN ROSIE ♪

♪ THE ROSE OF ALABAMA ♪

♪ A SWEET TOBACCO POSEY ♪

♪ IS THE ROSE OF ALABAMA ♪

YA-HOO!

AH-HA!

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

I SAW HIM THROUGH THIS WINDOW

WHEN HE SHOT MY PARTNER.

HE WAS TRAVELING WITH AN OLD INJUN,

A SQUAW, SOME OLD LADY,

AND A SCRAWNY GIRL.

HAD TO BE HIM.

HE HAD THIS SCAR ON HIS FACE RIGHT HERE.

I WASN'T ABOUT TO FACE HIM DOWN ALONE.

MM-HMM.

YOU MEN GET THEM HORSES OUT OF SIGHT!

IF JOSEY WALES COMES BACK HERE,

WE'LL BUY HIM A DRINK.

[FIDDLE PLAYS]

KANSAS WAS ALL...

GOLD.

IT SMELLED LIKE SUNSHINE.

YEAH.

WELL, I ALWAYS HEARD

THERE WERE THREE KINDS OF SUNS IN KANSAS--

SUNSHINE...

SUNFLOWERS, AND...

SONS OF BITCHES.

WELL...

AT LEAST WE'RE KNOWN FOR SOMETHING.

I HEARD A JOKE ABOUT MISSOURI ONCE.

SOMETHING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE FROM MISSOURI

ARE ALWAYS SAYING "SHOW ME."

DO YOU KNOW IT?

NO.

I THINK IT WAS, UM...

IF...IF...

WHAT DOES A MAN FROM MISSOURI SAY

IF SOMEONE ASKS HIM TO SEE A MISSOURI MULE?

AND?

HE SAYS "SHOW ME."

GET IT?

IS THAT THE KIND OF DUMB JOKES

THEY TEACH PRETTY GIRLS IN KANSAS?

THEY TEACH OTHER THINGS.

SHOW ME.

PA! [THUNDER]

YOU'RE UP KIND OF EARLY, AREN'T YOU?

IT'S BEEN NICE RIDING WITH YOU, CHIEF.

SAME HERE.

WHEN YOU GET TO TOWN,

GET SOME NICE DRESSES FOR THE LADIES, HEAR?

I WILL.

GET SOMETHING ESPECIALLY NICE

FOR LAURA LEE TO WEAR WHEN I RETURN IN SPRING.

YEAH.

OR THE FOLLOWING SPRING.

YEAH.

SOMETIMES TROUBLE JUST FOLLOWS A MAN.

HELL, I'VE BEEN HERE WAY TOO LONG AS IT--

I RECKON SO.

JOSEY WALES!

YOU'RE ALL ALONE NOW, WALES.

NOT QUITE ALONE.

NOW WE'RE REALLY GOING TO SHOW

THESE PALEFACES SOMETHING.

NO OFFENSE.

NONE TAKEN!

THESE MEN ARE A SLANDER TO KANSAS,

ATTACKING INNOCENT WOMEN LIKE THIS.

BULLETS WERE FLYING.

PEOPLE RUNNING EVERY WHICH WAY.

THE CHURCH BELLS WERE RINGING.

ME AND MISS ROSE WERE DUCKING FOR COVER.

ONE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THE SHOTS WERE COMING--

MR. WILSON!

GOOD MORNING.

HELLO, MR. WILSON.

WE WERE JUST TELLING THESE FELLOWS

A LITTLE STORY ABOUT AN OUTLAW

WHO PASSED THROUGH THIS WAY A WHILE BACK.

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU'D KNOW ABOUT HIM.

THESE TWO FELLAS DOWN HERE IS TEXAS RANGERS.

BEEN ON HIS TRAIL.

ALONG WITH THIS OTHER FELLOW OVER HERE.

WHAT'D YOU SAY YOUR NAME WAS, FRIEND?

MY NAME'S FLETCHER.

FLETCHER. THAT'S RIGHT.

MR. FLETCHER.

THE THREE OF THEM BEEN CHASING THIS OUTLAW.

JUST SO HAPPENS, OLD TEN SPOT,

WOULDN'T YOU KNOW,

KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT.

YES, SIR.

IT WAS DOWN IN MONTERREY, MEXICO,

A LITTLE WHILE BACK.

ANYWAYS, THIS OUTLAW FELLA,

HE WENT UP AGAINST FIVE PISTOLEROS.

HE GOT THREE BEFORE THEY CUT HIM DOWN.

THAT RIGHT, MISS ROSE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

HIS NAME WAS, UH...

JOSEY WALES.

THAT'S IT.

JOSEY WALES.

WELL, IF THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED,

THEN, UH, JOSEY WALES MUST BE DEAD.

OH, HE IS DEAD.

HE SURE IS DEAD.

DEAD, ALL RIGHT.

WOULD YOU SIGN THIS AFFIDAVIT?

UH, SIGN?

WHY, SURE WILL.

THAT'S IT.

NICE SEEING YOU, MR. WILSON.

THERE MUST BE 5,000 WANTED MEN IN TEXAS RIGHT NOW.

CAN'T GET 'EM ALL.

YEAH, I GUESS THAT'S THE TRUTH.

IF YOU'RE BACK THIS WAY, STOP IN.

I RECKON WE WON'T BE COMING BACK THIS WAY.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT STORY ABOUT JOSEY WALES.

YOU DON'T?

NO, SIR, I DON'T.

I DON'T BELIEVE NO FIVE PISTOLEROS

COULD DO IN JOSEY WALES.

MAYBE IT WAS SIX.

COULD HAVE EVEN BEEN 10.

I THINK HE'S STILL ALIVE.

ALIVE?

UH, NO, SIR.

I THINK I'LL GO DOWN TO MEXICO

TO TRY TO FIND HIM.

AND THEN?

HE'S GOT THE FIRST MOVE.

I OWE HIM THAT.

I THINK I'LL TRY TO TELL HIM THE WAR IS OVER.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, MR. WILSON?

I RECKON SO.

I GUESS WE ALL DIED A LITTLE IN THAT DAMN WAR.
