[horses whinny]

Hiyah!

[horses snort]

(boy) Hiyah!

Hiy...

thud!

Ugh! Hey, good job.

I'm proud of ya.

Now, go see if your mother

needs some firewood before breakfast, okay?

Yes, sir.

Go on.

[hooves pounding]

Boy's coming along.

You're a good teacher, Thomas.

[hooves pounding]

You run those horses off the Franklin ranch?

You're on my property now, boys.

Those are free-grazin' mustangs.

I got every right.

Don't want any trouble, John.

You just got to quit runnin' 'em off Ike's land.

He don't like that.

Ain't Ike's to say.

It's just a warnin'.

We don't want to come back.

[horse whinnies]

Hiyah.

Hiyah. Come on, hiyah.

Hello, Charlie. Hey, Billy.

(man) Hello, Zachary.

How's your trappin' comin' along?

Still haven't caught me a fox or a coyote.

[man laughs]

Keep tryin', boss.

You'll snag somethin'

sooner or later.

(man) Zachary. Charlie.

You little rapscallion.

You're growin' faster

than a green weed in a fresh buffalo heap.

Mornin', Charlie. How are you today?

Doin' good, Seth.

Hey, Billy, take the front two into the barn,

and go get yourself some breakfast.

Yes, sir.

I ain't missed one of your Mary's good meals yet.

Welcome to Sage Creek.

Easy, ma'am.

Go easy.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Mrs. Stanley.

[door creaks]

Morning, Amanda.

(man) Thank you.

Watch your step.

(Mary) Chief Justice Stanley.

Mrs. Stanley. Hey, Mary.

Welcome to Sage Creek.

Thank you very much.

Please, come in.

My father's driver should arrive shortly.

Oh! Christopher Allen!

Where's the Christmas tree?

Well, hello, little one. What is your name?

Kit.

(Stanley) Billy the Kid.

Nice meeting you too, Master Kit.

What a perfectly lovely child.

I am so sorry.

He has gotten to be a handful.

About the only one that can handle him

is his Grandpa Ike.

Oh, there's no need to apologize.

Just show me where I can wash off

this dreadful prairie dust.

Oh, yes, of course.

Right this way.

Not too much, Kit.

Forget to say your prayers this mornin'?

Yes, sir.

Your mother tells me

you don't think it's important anymore.

Praying helped me a lot when I was your age.

It always helped me find my way,

even when I was in doubt.

It gives you answers to things you're confused about,

helps you find courage when you're afraid.

But Grandpa doesn't pray.

Well, your grandpa's been through a lot.

Sometimes people lose their way, son.

You should pray for him.

Your mother and I pray for you every night--

you and your brother.

You do?

Sure.

Sure, you two are...

who your mother and I are thankful for the most.

Grab a handful of axle grease. We'll doctor up that bay.

Do you like the theater?

What?

Oh, uh, yes.

I-I saw this play once,

years ago when I went back East for my studies.

An educated girl like you,

stuck out in this godforsaken prairie?

Oh, well, it's, um--

it's not quite like that.

I-I met my husband, Seth, when he

took over the ministry at the church I attended.

His first congregation,

my first year away from home.

Gave it all up

to move out west with me--

the ministry, his family and friends,

everything he knew and respected.

How terribly romantic.

[laughs] Yes, I--

I suppose it is.

He tried to make a living

working on my father's place,

but Ike, he--

well, he didn't have the patience.

Well, Seth wasn't much of a cattleman anyway--

a fish out of water

in a big, unfamiliar sea.

You know, sometimes life

doesn't turn out the way we plan.

But you seem to be doing fine, dear.

Daniel.

We're going to get those steers into Lusk

and sold before Christmas.

Get that clear to everybody.

Yes, sir.

You won't leave town

until we get top dollar, no exceptions.

Mr. Franklin,

me and the boys was wondering--

well, sir, we wanted to know

if you'd decided to give us Christmas Day off.

Some of the men got family, and I think they need that time.

You get a day off when those cattle are sold.

Christmas is just another working day.

Yes, sir.

Stock comes first.

[horse snorts]

Judge.

(Zachary) I guess I hid that one too well.

That's okay, son.

[animal whines]

Did you hear that?

Something over there.

[animal whining]

Looks like you have your first coyote.

Wait.

Hey, Zachary!

Stay back.

It's a dog.

He likes me.

Yeah, he sure does.

And he's lucky

that a mesquite root caught most of the teeth.

[yelping]

There.

Can we keep him, Pa?

Someone needs to tend to his leg.

I suppose it'd be the right thing to do.

All right.

[dog whining]

Almost done.

It's okay.

Okay.

Come on. Come on.

There you go, fella.

What are you gonna name him?

I don't know.

Well, you can come up with something, son.

Well, I was thinking, since it's Christmastime,

maybe Nicholas.

Hmm, Nicholas.

Nicholas.

Yeah,

I like that.

Nicholas it is.

[laughs]

This is really fine brandy.

I brought it up from the gulf.

Really?

Only the best for an old friend.

Thank you.

What's that new business you want me to look into, Ike?

John Red Eagle.

Used to work for me.

Now he's running stock off my land.

Stealing cows?

Horses--

mustangs.

Well,

you know, Ike, it's not illegal

to herd wild mustangs.

He's taking 'em off my land.

I hear you.

How long we known each other, Ike?

[chuckles]

You know,

your Rebecca Anne was a...

wonderful woman.

We all miss her.

And I--I know what you been through.

But as a friend,

I want to tell you, and I know it's not easy,

and I know it's easy to say, but you gotta let go.

Whatever happened was bad in the past,

just put it behind you.

Hell, we all do.

The world's changing,

and we gotta adapt.

You can have a good life here, Ike,

if you want it.

Your daughter, Mary,

she's a good mother.

Seth, he's a decent husband to her.

He's not a rancher.

Excuse me?

He's not a rancher.

Well, we all weren't cut out to be ranchers.

I want John Red Eagle off my land.

All right, I'll look into it when I get back.

Sooner, the better.

[breathes heavily]

Ooh, in the Lord's name, Mary.

[giggles] Shh.

[whispers] Don't wake the children.

We'll be warm in a minute.

I don't remember cold feet

being part of our vows.

Hold me.

Mm.

[both sigh]

Seth.

Hmm?

Do you ever miss the ministry?

Why would you ask such a thing, Mary?

I don't know.

My life is here with you and the boys.

Mm-hmm.

I love you, Mary Keller,

with all my heart.

I know.

You see, by moving that cinch ring back,

we can load more weight on the mare.

Sure.

I see it.

Pa?

Mm-hmm?

When you was in the army,

did you have to kill many Indians?

I was a trail guide and a scout for the 5th Cavalry, Samuel.

I wasn't a soldier.

But you fought Indians, right?

I did.

Were you ever afraid?

War and killin' never much agree with me, son.

Sometimes it's necessary.

But it wasn't all bad.

I did meet your mother at that time,

and that's a good thing.

You did?

I did.

Your grandfather's people, the Crow,

they found me about half dead down there at Sage Creek.

I had a real bad run-in with some hostile Cheyenne

when I was scoutin' that area.

Your grandfather and your mother,

they took me in, cared for me, tended for me,

just like I was one of their own.

So you see, something good came out of something bad.

Yeah.

You can learn something from all life's experiences, son--

good and bad.

Takes a lot of strength and spirit

to look through a man's hatred and still see his good.

Your grandfather taught me that.

I understand, Pa.

Ah, that's my girl.

When we bead, we pray.

We put all of our good thoughts into every one of these beads

so that we can do good work.

And before we finish, we put in one bead that's different.

So that our work is flawed, because nobody's perfect.

Like this?

Yes, very good!

Where's Samuel?

Fetching some wood.

Better more than less.

I really don't like your association with that man.

Don't you let your bowels get in an uproar, Mama.

You just mind your manners and get in the buckboard.

I ain't never seen anybody

so full of hate and resentment.

He just needs to forget about the past

and get on with plain old livin'.

Amen, brother.

My driver will take you

straight to the railhead at Douglas.

All right.

Sure good to see you, Ike.

I just want what's mine.

I understand.

Told ya I'd look into it when I get there.

I'll look into it.

I love you, Papa.

[grunts]

Be good, Janey girl.

Samuel, you take care of things, son.

Okay, Pa.

Be safe, my husband.

[speaking Crow]

Samuel, you be careful out there

setting those traps with Zachary,

you hear?

Yes, sir.

Thomas, you find me a good spirit

to guide me back home.

I will ask...

if you bring me cigars.

Be back in the morning.

(John) Hello, Mary.

Comin' or goin'?

Headin' into Lusk for some supplies.

Nice ridin' weather.

Mm-hmm.

So how are you, Mary?

Seth and the boys?

Oh, I--I'm fine.

We're all fine.

[distant hammering]

[louder hammering]

He's a--he's a good man.

I know.

John?

Ride safe.

[horses whinny]

Thank you for making me

such a fine hunting weapon, Grandfather.

Mm.

Will you tell me one of your stories?

I am watching a young boy

hunting fresh meat for his family.

And there are many antelope grazing on a steep hillside,

many more than the bright stars in the sky.

He wants to prove to the men that he is ready

to become a mighty hunter.

The young boy moves too close.

The antelope smell him and run away.

Even the swiftest arrows from the strongest hunters

cannot reach the antelope.

So once again, there will be no fresh meat.

The village will have to go without food another day.

The young boy will learn

a valuable lesson.

He cannot become a man in one day's hunt.

Who is the young hunter, Grandpa?

I was that young boy,

who was trying to become a man

too fast.

Whoa.

Well, I guess a man

can run into just about anything out here.

I don't need no trouble out of you, Ike.

You steal my horses,

and you don't want trouble from me?

They ain't yours to decide.

That land you're sittin' on was mine.

I only gave it to you

'cause you promised to marry my daughter.

Mary chose Seth, Hank.

I had nothin' to do with that.

Ah, hell, you say.

You just gave up on her too easy.

Should have taken that land back when I had the chance.

Same with that old chief.

I should have got rid of him when I could have.

That's about enough out of you.

His people killed and butchered my wife--

murderin' savages.

Thomas' people had nothin' to do with your wife's death,

and you damn well know that.

They're all the same, and then you became one of them.

I'll never forget that, and I'll never forgive it.

Then I pity you, old man.

I'll get that land back from you.

And it ain't gonna cost me nothin', you hear?

You hear me?

Grandpa. Grandpa.

(Ike) How are my boys?

Zachary,

why don't you get those packages out of the saddlebag?

I got a little somethin' for you young uns.

Hello, Father.

Mary.

Come on.

Didn't expect you back from Lusk until after Christmas.

Decided not to trail with the herd.

Zachary, go get your grandpa's horse

and put it in the barn, please.

Hope he don't draw

no blood from no one.

That means your critter's

probably carrying.

No, he's sound, Ike.

Doesn't seem to have a lick

of anger in him.

That's the worst kind-- just waitin' to go off.

I'll make it a point to have Mary and the boys

over to the ranch to see you soon.

Well, that's not good enough.

My daughter should be raising her sons

to be cattlemen.

It's their destiny.

I did the best I could, Ike.

You don't have the grit.

See that he doesn't bite one of my grandchildren.

Why don't you

have her send Kit outside?

I'll be back through later.

Another one empty.

Samuel, do you think we'll ever catch anything

besides stray dogs?

I don't know.

Just gotta be patient, I suppose.

Let's cover up that trap.

[trap snaps] Ah!

Zachary.

Don't move.

[panting] Is it bad?

Don't see nothin' missin'.

[sighs]

Promise you won't tell my pa?

That was too close.

Promise.

I promise.

But...

Only if you set the others.

Hey.

Hey! Wait up, Samuel.

[upbeat instrumental music]

* *

Emma, wrap that up pretty for me, would you?

I'll treat her extra special.

Your Janey's gonna love it.

Got everything you need, John?

Yup, that'll do 'er.

(Lansing) Tell Samuel I've still got

that skinnin' knife he's had his eye on all year.

I'll let him know.

All right, John. Here you go.

Dressed her up for you.

Now, you keep that close to your heart.

Your little one's gonna appreciate it.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Give our best to the family, John.

I will.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you.

John Red Eagle?

Ma, come quick.

Why do you come here with soldiers to my home?

Is John Red Eagle inside the cabin?

My husband is not home now.

What do you want with him?

Ma'am, Federal Court in Cheyenne has determined

that you are trespassing on private lands.

I have received a notice of eviction order

from the United States government,

instructing me to seize all your personal property

and to escort you immediately to the Red Cloud Indian Agency

outside Camp Robinson.

I'm further authorized to use all necessary force

to carry out these orders.

You are herewith served.

I don't understand.

When will your husband return?

I'm not sure.

(man) She's lyin'.

Sergeant Banks.

Very well, then.

I will give you two days to put your affairs in order.

My father will fight you.

Quiet, Grandson.

When my daughter's husband returns,

then we will see the real truth.

You threatenin' us, old man?

Stand down, Sergeant!

Banks, now!

We'll return in two days with a full escort.

Your removal will take place,

as ordered by law.

Maybe when they get home,

we'll light all the candles.

Looks really pretty when all the candles are lit.

Okay, this is the very last one,

so find a really special place for it.

Oh, yeah. That's good. [coughing]

Now, what is all that coughing about?

I don't know. [coughs]

Let me see.

Sweetie, you're burning up.

I don't like this one bit.

Let's get you to bed, okay?

[coughing] Come on.

[bells jingling]

You're late.

We found somethin' we wasn't lookin' for:

John Red Eagle's horses.

We picked them up on the road wanderin' a few miles back.

They spent some time under their saddles.

Seth, we gotta find him.

He'd do the same for us.

Yeah, okay,

but Billy can't run the coach by himself.

We got help.

U.S. Marshal Meyers,

out of Cheyenne; my deputy, Turner.

Gotta pick up

a fellow prisoner at Newcastle for trial.

We can run the coach up that far for you.

(Billy) There'll be fresh drivers

at the station there.

Seth, we're wastin' time.

Yeah, all right, then.

Bueno.

Zachary,

you ride to the Red Eagle cabin,

and you tell Sunny what's happened.

And then you come straight back home, you understand?

Yes, sir.

Okay, you be careful, son.

I will, Pa.

(Sunny) How can they take our home?

We have lived here

many years under their laws.

Ah, the white man

has no place for the Indian people.

Well, when John gets back,

he'll make things right.

I'm sure of it.

Let us hope

that he can fight the soldiers better

with their own papers.

[horse neighs]

It's Zachary.

Samuel, where's your ma?

The stagecoach came in with John's horses.

He might be in trouble.

My pa and Buckskin Charlie went to go look for him.

Zachary, are you sure?

I don't know.

I just came like I was told.

I gotta get back.

We need to find my father.

We can ride your horse.

Samuel, I'm supposed to go home.

I need your help.

Okay.

Come on.

Oh.

[slow piano ballad]

* *

What is it, Charlie?

Two sets of tracks,

fairly fresh.

(Zachary) Where are we?

I think we're near the old silver mine.

Pa says I'm supposed to stay away from here.

[twig snaps] [Nicholas whines]

What was that?

Not sure.

My grandfather says a clan of spirit warriors

used to live near the old mine.

Spirit warriors?

[tremulous tone]

Let's get out of here.

[haunting flute music]

* *

Whoa.

Seth, over here.

John's.

Nobody could survive a fall like that.

Must've been dragged off.

What do you mean, dragged off?

Scavengers--

coyotes, wolves.

God help him.

Let's keep lookin'.

I'm getting cold, Samuel.

We better make a fire.

(Samuel) Let's gather some wood.

Charlie.

Looks like someone spent some time here, all right.

This way.

Hey.

Who--who are you?

[gun cock clicks] You the law?

No, sir.

You don't look like the law.

I'm just looking for a friend.

That feller was shot off his horse.

Cut his supplies loose.

That crazy pack mare

spooked and bolted, and that's a damn shame--

two fine horses like that.

Let's just kill him, Frank.

Thomas, we have a wounded man.

[grunts]

Ah!

Where's John?

I don't know.

Sunny, I found his hat at the bottom of a ridge.

Looked like he'd taken a terrible fall,

but we didn't find him.

Our sons are missing.

What?

I think they went looking after John.

I told Zachary to go right home.

Hey, it's okay.

Boys are gone?

Yeah.

It's gettin' dark, Seth.

Better get after them.

They won't survive the night out there alone.

I'll take care of Billy.

Please hurry.

I'll find them.

[sobbing]

Do you think we can find our way back?

I think it's better if we just stay where we are.

I'm scared, Samuel.

It's okay to be scared.

My grandfather tells me, when I'm scared,

to find courage within my spirit.

My pa tells me to pray.

Does it work?

I think so.

Better get some more wood.

[horse snorts]

[whispers] I'll be right back.

Seth, what happened? Where's the others?

Mary, I found John's hat and some blood.

What?

It doesn't look good.

Zachary and Samuel are missing.

They went to look for John.

Seth.

I have a fresh horse

and a fair idea where they might be.

I'll have both boys back before morning.

But they'll freeze to death by morning, Seth.

I'm not going to let that happen, Mary.

Trust me, I'll find them.

[horse nickers]

Find who?

Zachary and Samuel went to look for John.

The Red Eagle boy?

What's that half-breed doin' with my grandson?

For God's sake.

It doesn't matter, Father. The boys are lost.

They could die out there.

Now, do you want to help Seth or not?

[horses nicker]

[horse whinnies]

[shotgun cock clicks]

[shotgun booms]

[animal growls]

[growling]

Hurry up, Zachary.

[growling]

[wolf snarling]

Ahh! Get off him!

[barking]

[gunshot echoes]

(Seth) Zachary.

(Samuel) Get off! [horses neighing]

Zachary. [gunshot rings]

Pa, Nicholas is out there.

Are you hurt?

I--I don't think so.

You okay, son?

He didn't get me.

Nicholas!

Thank you, Samuel.

Zachary would've done the same for me.

I know.

(Zachary) Nicholas!

Nicholas!

[Nicholas barking]

[Nicholas barking]

(Mary) Oh, thank God.

Oh.

(Mary) Baby, come here.

It's so good to see you.

Go in. Go in.

(Seth) Yeah.

(Mary) Are you all right?

You scared me to death.

(Seth) Come on, Sam.

All right.

Come here, baby.

Stitched him up best I could.

He looks fine.

Seth.

I'm worried about Kit.

He's running a high fever.

Well, I'll take a look at him.

I don't know; it might be pneumonia, or...

Hey. it might be scarlet fever...

Hey.

Don't worry.

Mary?

God won't abandon us.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll check.

[thunder rumbling]

[slow piano ballad]

* *

[coughing]

Can you hear me, son?

[door creaks]

I'm gonna get a cool cloth.

Kit, hey.

It's your grandpa.

You gotta pull through this, Kit, you hear me?

Don't you give up on me.

I couldn't stand to lose my pa.

I thought you were going to die last night.

If Nicholas hadn't helped...

(Sunny) Samuel!

Mother!

Oh!

You're safe.

Thank you, Great Father, for answering my prayers.

I couldn't find him, Ma.

I know.

Samuel, I don't know what to tell you

about your father.

But whatever has happened,

his spirit will be with us always.

Zachary's brother, Kit, is real sick.

He is?

You stay right here.

[knock at door]

Sunny, come in.

Mary.

Oh.

I am so sorry about John.

How's Kit?

Not very good.

(Seth) I need to get the morning team ready.

I think Kit may have scarlet fever.

Mary, are you sure?

No, not really.

We need to send for a doctor.

Too bad about John.

Somehow I don't believe you feel that in your heart.

Maybe none of this would have happened

if he hadn't tried to steal my horses.

My family has never taken anything from you.

So now you will force us from our home?

You could never survive in this country now

without a strong man.

Father, stop it.

Why are you doing this?

They have done nothing to you.

These are our friends

and our neighbors.

Well, they've become a problem.

No, Father, you are the problem.

Come on.

I am so sorry.

My father has gone insane with anger.

Sunny,

you need to get on that stage.

Go to the county recorder's office in Lusk.

He'll have the papers to prove that John's homestead is legal.

W-what about Samuel and Janey?

They'll be fine with us,

but I need you to do something for me.

Please bring Dr. Babcock back with you.

I will bring him back.

Thank you.

Go.

[bells jangling]

Ah. Say ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

All right.

Good girl. [clears throat]

Dr. Babcock?

Yes?

Pardon me.

The Kellers need your help.

Their little boy Kit is sick with fever.

Were you exposed to the boy?

No, I only spoke with Mary and Ike.

Ike's out there? Yes.

Mary's expecting you on the afternoon stage.

Very well, then.

Uh, let me just finish up here,

and then I'll be catching the stage.

Thank you.

(man) Under the law,

your family must occupy the new homestead uninterrupted

for a period of five consecutive years.

Well, the property won't become legally yours

until December 31st of this year--

one week from today.

Otherwise, property reverts back to Mr. Franklin.

But the soldiers will come tomorrow.

We need more time, just a few more days.

Well, it's signed by Chief Justice Stanley.

You know, I'm--

I'm really sorry about this,

but there's nothing I can do

to change that five-year occupancy requirement.

It's the law.

Maybe you can get somebody to stay on the property.

It won't work.

Did you bring Dr. Babcock?

Yes, I'm here.

Thank you for coming so quickly, Doctor.

Please hurry.

Kit's gotten worse since this morning.

Did you have any luck?

Mary, doctor's here.

Oh, thank God.

Please, he's in the bedroom.

Well, let's take a look.

Hello, Ike.

Ben.

His fever's awful high.

Need to see if we can bring it down.

He's having trouble breathing 'cause, uh,

he's drowning in his own fluid.

Is there anything you can do for him?

If the fever doesn't break,

I'm afraid he won't make it.

No, there has to be something you can do.

You can't just let him die.

(Seth) Mary.

Get away from me.

Where's your great God now?

Leave me alone with him.

For just a minute.

The man in Lusk told me that we have good papers

that show we own our home,

but they may not be strong enough

to fight the soldiers.

Grandfather will never live on the reservation.

He'll die first.

I know.

I'm angry at my grandfather

for what he's doing to you.

Samuel saved my life.

We're best friends.

Yes, you boys are friends.

And don't let anyone ever take you away from you.

Do you understand?

Good.

Now, I'm going to go check on Kit.

My grandfather might be able to help Kit.

How?

My grandfather knows many things about Mother Earth.

He might have some good medicine.

But it's getting dark.

We might not make it back in time.

Grandfather will know the way.

All right,

but you better hurry.

Take my horse.

Kit, I know you can hear me.

You gotta get tough

and beat this thing, son.

We're all... prayin' for ya.

[sighs]

You took my wife, and now you're--

you're gonna take my grandson.

[whispers] I'm going to lose my baby.

I'm sorry you're angry with me, Mary.

I failed you

and your father,

my religion.

No.

Seth, your family, your friends,

still need your strength.

I don't know how anymore, Sunny.

Yes, you do.

We all must pull together,

now more than ever.

[hoofbeats approaching]

Grandpa, you must come quick.

I've been waiting for you.

[door bangs open]

I brought my grandfather.

(Seth) Thomas, thank you for coming.

Please, come on in.

Get that heathen out of here.

We are out of choices, Ike.

Can't you see that?

No, not this way.

(Mary) Father, my son is dying.

He will be dead in a matter of hours.

This is our last chance.

Okay, Thomas, do what you can.

My God.

I have brought medicine

that my people have used for generations.

[mumbling]

[singing in Crow]

* *

I ask you, Creator,

please, be patient.

Do not take this young boy today.

He is needed here.

This young boy

will be an important man one day.

He will save many lives.

He will do many good things.

I will give him medicine through the night.

At sunrise, we will know if it worked.

Thank you for trying.

Thank you.

[singing in Crow]

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

[sighs] I'll be damned.

We thought we lost ya.

Don't you ever scare me like that again.

I'm sorry, Grandpa.

[laughs]

Well...

I guess I'll forgive you...

Just this one time.

Kit.

Kit!

Seth!

Hey, baby.

Hey.

Hi, honey.

Hey, little man. We missed you.

Where is Nicholas?

Come on. [grunts]

Kit!

Mom, Grandfather's medicine worked.

(Dr. Babcock) It's a miracle.

Mom, I'm hungry.

[hooves thundering]

I'll give you something good.

Here you go.

That's far enough, Captain.

John Red Eagle family inside?

We're here to escort them

to the Federal reservation.

(Seth) You're not taking

anyone anywhere today.

I understand that, Mr. Keller.

We're just doin' our job.

We're not lookin' for any trouble.

Good, then you and your men should leave peacefully.

[gunshot rings]

Damn it, Sergeant,

I didn't issue an order to draw your weapon.

Hold your fire, men.

Toss it, Sergeant.

Banks.

Banks.

All right.

You heard what...

my son said.

Our friends are stayin' put.

I think you could be makin' a big mistake.

No, Captain.

I already made the big mistake.

I'll see the proper papers are filed

to relieve you of any dereliction of duty.

Very well, then, Mr. Franklin, uh...

I'll be expecting your statement.

Let's move out.

[gun cock clicks] (Ike) Leave it.

I'll saddle a horse for Dr. Babcock.

Hmm.

There's a place set for ya

at the table, Thomas.

I'd like it if you'd join us.

Mr. Franklin.

Mr. Franklin, I finally found you.

We sold 'em all for cash, sir,

every one of 'em, on the first go-round.

Well, you can count the money.

It's all there.

For you and the boys, Daniel.

I-I don't understand.

Christmas present.

And, uh,

I don't want to see ya anywhere near my place

for the next week or two.

But, Mr. Franklin--

And that goes for the rest of the crew too.

W-what about-- You just...

make sure the rest of my stock gets fed.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. Stock comes first.

Daniel,

merry Christmas.

Thank you, Mr. Franklin.

Merry Christmas to you too.

Good.

Be careful. That's hot.

Got it?

[blows]

Sunny,

this is a handwritten release

of my interest in your homestead.

I hope we can

live together as neighbors

and...friends.

I don't know what to say.

Nah, I wish I could do more.

Then your spirit has been set free.

Hmm.

(Seth) As the season grew colder

and more inclement...

[reading together] the game became...

Supper's ready.

Seth,

will you say grace?

Heavenly Father, we thank You for all Your blessings

on this Christmas Day.

We are truly grateful for You allowing

our Kit to remain here on Earth with us.

Give us the strength and courage to prevail

during our times of trouble,

showing us that by our faith in You,

You will give us

a new hope for our families to share.

[whines]

[Nicholas whines]

Bless this meal

which we are about to receive,

for it is nourishment to our bodies,

as Your Word is to our souls.

[whining]

In Your name, we pray.

Amen.

[whining and barking]

Kit!

Kit, get back in here.

[Nicholas barking] Nicholas!

Kit.

(Janey) Daddy!

Daddy!

[grunting]
