Oh, well, I guess this is going to place it any.

Give me the tire bucket, son.

Paul, why are we going to grease it now when we're almost home?

I don't know.

I'm going to get a tire bucket.

Paul, why are we going to grease it now when we're almost home?

You remember that far back, son?

Yes, sir.

Well, and that's why, because we want to come home decent and respectable.

Yes, sir.

Paul, remember the time that Davey and me played hooky and went fishing?

It was a good day for you, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was always good when Davey was around.

He'll be there to meet us, won't you, Paul?

Don't count on him, son.

Well, why not?

He's still home, isn't he?

He'll help me there to meet us.

Give me the tire bucket.

We got the jack, so I can prop up the axle while I pull the wheel.

Well, go on.

You won't be here long enough to pull that wheel.

Charlie, Pete.

Well, I never figured you'd get up enough nerve to show your face around here, guests.

That doesn't give you any grounds to try to order me off my own property.

It ain't your land any longer.

It was confiscated Tory land, and I bought it from the government.

My son, why didn't Davey?

Davey?

He passed his chance.

I reckon it didn't want to be reminded his father was a traitor.

I don't like that word.

Well, I don't either, guest.

So you just tighten up that lug nut and get out of here.

Because if I catch you around here again, I'm going to shoot you for trespassing.

The Daniel Boom was a man.

Yes, a big man.

With a night like an eagle and a stall and a month was he.

Daniel Boom was a man.

Yes, a big man.

He was brave, he was fearless and as tough as a mighty old tree.

From the coon skin cap on the top of old man to the heel of his raw eye chew.

A ripenist, roaring a spider, this man.

The front is ever new.

Daniel Boom was a man.

Yes, a big man.

And he fought for America to make all American screams.

What a good one to do and what a dream come true was he.

All right.

There you are, Becky.

Take a look at those.

This blueprint, I think.

Yes, Becky.

And I need some needles.

I surely do hope you have a sugar loaf.

Dan's mighty tired of that long sweetie.

Yes, Becky.

Aren't you finished buying stuff yet, Mom?

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure you've got some kind of stuff yet, Mom.

The Israel, Uhh.

I think I've got something here that'll help pass the time little quicker,

especially when you eat it out of doors.

Morning, Mr. Pete.

Good morning, Israel.

Hi, fallout.

Hey, Ed.

What?

One thing, certain. He's not a pig.

Sam.

You got things to do.

What things?

We got to see David Guest.

What for?

His pauches came back.

John Guest is home.

Yes, ma'am.

I just run him in the sun off my land.

I reckon they figured David was still there.

David ain't seen them yet?

Nope.

Thank you. I got a feeling there's going to be trouble.

John used to be our friend before he left.

Yeah.

Just the way I figured.

John used to be a friend.

Hi!

Help!

No!

Hey!

It's his real phone!

Got the guest!

Hi, Mr. Yes!

Hello, Israel.

Hey, come on!

Yeah.

Hello.

Thank you.

Just come to tell you about him.

Just come back to spoil everything for you like us not.

I thought you said when he left he was gone for good.

Welcome home, John.

Becky, thanks.

Since now did you remember, John?

Huh?

John Guest.

Oh, sure I do.

It's been a long time.

John, you thinking of staying?

Lots of my intention.

David?

Hey, it's David!

He is here.

Why did you have to come back?

I'd almost lived down the shame.

David!

That's our paw you're talking to.

Hal, I thought you were...

Go back to Canada.

There's no place there for traders.

No traders are their Tory friends.

I expected some distress with...

with this.

You find the boys, will you, John?

I have to pick up some things in the store.

Then you can take us home.

Becky?

Did you talk to John Guest?

Not yet.

Water in his horses.

But I don't mind telling you I was a might surprise to see him.

Do you approve?

Approval what?

I don't know.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Hey, be Paul, take us next time we walk straps.

You know how I always fade with you.

So did David once.

Becky?

Dan, if you'd seen the welcome they got at the fort,

you'd have brought them here too.

Well, at least I'm satisfied you did.

Dan, about John.

I know what you're going to say.

Now, don't worry.

Oh, John, here, let me take that.

Thank you.

Becky?

Dan?

Thank you for having us.

Becky's the one you'll want to be thanking, but be welcome.

But you just as soon I hadn't come back.

For your own sake, John, and to put it bluntly,

I'll just as soon you'd stayed in Canada.

Oh, come on in, how?

Those door, what do you have to?

Yes, sir.

Good night, boys.

Come on, Hal.

Up the ladder, Hal.

Oh, remember, you stayed here lots of times.

Oh, come on.

Boy's going to be alright up there.

Yes, sir.

John, can we go outside to talk?

If you'll excuse me, Becky.

Of course, John.

I'm here the way it sounded, Hal.

You know him.

I know Davey, too.

He used to favor me, but he despised us when he saw us.

I know Davey, too.

I know Davey, too.

He used to favor me, but he despised us when he saw us.

I know Davey, too.

He despised us when he saw us.

He hated Paul.

What are you going to do now, John?

Your homestead's been sold as confiscated toy land.

There's lots of other land, and lots of logs.

You sure chose yourself a hard road to hope?

You both know that.

Dana, I need you at least to understand why I chose it.

You know what I'll never understand is what changed you.

I didn't change.

From patriot to Tory?

No.

When the British were hunting the Virginia Burgesses to stand trial for their lives,

didn't you risk your own neck to hide and protect them?

Well, of course I did.

When the Redcoats finally fired on us, weren't you and Davey among the first to join the militia?

And at Williamsburg, I saw you take a ball in the shoulder and come back in battle.

Your credit, you did a good job of bandaging.

And just when we needed you the most, you up and joined the British?

After the declaration of independence.

That's when we needed you.

That's when my conscience wouldn't let me fight with you.

Well, your conscience let you fight against us, though, with Redcoats lead still in your shoulder.

Dan, when the crown oppressed us, we fought against you.

We fought for justice.

Side by side.

I would have died for us.

I know that.

But the declaration turned that fight into a revolution, Dan.

To overthrow our government.

For liberty.

I had liberty under British law for almost as long as I had lived.

So did my father before me.

I expected to find it again in Canada.

Did you?

Yes, I did.

Well, why did you come back here?

Because this is my country.

And because my son was here.

It took me a long time to understand what love of country means to me.

To me.

To love and cherish your homeland.

Not the man who happened to be running it.

In other words, you're still loyal to the crown.

I didn't say that.

Look, Dan.

You and I grew up here.

To shoot fireworks and shout her all on George III's birthday.

When I left, we were governed by the Continental Congress.

Now it's the Articles of Confederation.

And there's strong talk of a republic and an elected president.

But the country, King Article's or President,

the land remains as dear to a man as his own mother.

As much a part of him as his own sons.

Even when his son and his country want no more to do with him.

I'm not going to argue with you about that, John.

There's another thing you've got to think about.

You aren't the only one that's going to have a hard road or a whole coming home.

How?

I know.

Are you willing to see him go through it?

Man or boy, your country is worth fighting for.

You have your choice of this. The hearth or the he-mog?

Nothing sleep sweeter than fresh hay.

Here you go.

I'm ready for them.

This has been a long, long day.

Good night.

Good night, John.

Good night, John.

Penny?

You know, Becky, my father used to like to tell about a tribe that believed it.

When a man couldn't learn no more, it was time for him to leave this earth.

Well, one old fellow decided he could learn no more and he sat down to smoke one last pifil with his friends.

And the boy whose job it was to light the pipe rubbed his fingers in the mud before he reached for the cold.

And when asked why, he said because the mud keeps the cold from burning me.

The old man got up to Koffe Shrat and said,

Bello tribesman, no man is ever too old to learn, even from a little boy.

No, Becky.

As you'll remember that how guest was his friend first.

And left the questions to come as they will.

I intend to remember that.

I hope the people of this town remember that.

Bonne!

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

Hal?

Good morning, Hal.

Have you had your breakfast?

No, one hungry, thanks.

Help! Help!

What's all the excitement this early in the morning?

How's it going?

I guess I worry too much.

Well, let you and I go and have some breakfast.

How's everyone hungry?

Help! Get it out!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

You better get in there.

Let's eat.

Is a marketing breakfast with us?

She's not here right now, Miss Gordon took sex yesterday.

She went over to take this as red.

She'll be back after all.

Who cooked breakfast in?

I did, and if you have any remarks to make just don't make it.

GoodEveryone put your lunch in it in front of you.

ItGodendlsprettygood, Paul.

I will.

Your m classist.

Once you run away, don't you?

Please.

I heard two of them say something fine.

Oh!

They call it around.

The legal law is to miss letters.

Do you figure out how to find him, Paul?

Maybe he needs something he'd help him think.

Maybe he has too many people trying to help him now.

Me and like Davey?

Davey for one?

Well, the way I see it, it's Davey's fault anyway.

He wasn't so stubborn.

Well, the trouble is that it's not just Davey.

There are a lot of people around here that feel that

Hal's Paul has a heap of explaining to do.

And I think the folks who'd hear him out,

wasn't for Charlie Pete egging him on.

Israel, sometimes you make a lot of sense.

Not always, but sometimes.

Huh?

Do you think you can make him change?

Make who change?

Charlie Pete.

Davey and everyone else can figure it out all by themselves.

No.

Can't always make folks change.

Or even listen.

What's gonna happen then?

I don't know.

You want me to do right now, Paul?

Yeah.

Right now, you're gonna finish your breakfast.

Well, Charlie, what can I do for you?

You can put a pump on that thing so we can have a quarter.

What?

No reason.

Well, you know, I'm gonna do it for you.

Well, you can put a pump on that thing so we can have a quarter.

No reason why I can't continue working while we talk.

Well, none of you pay close attention, there's none.

Charlie, if you've got something to say, say it.

Yeah, it's about your Paul.

What about him?

You should replace him standing in this territory.

How should I know? I haven't talked to him.

Well, that's just what I come to speak to you about.

You know, Dave, you've got a lot to live down.

I know that.

You've got to realize what I'm telling you is for your own good.

You haven't told me anything yet?

We had a little meeting last night.

What kind of meeting?

Some of the folks that feel as same as I do about Tory traders crawling back home and thinking they're as good as other people.

What's that got to do with me?

Just this.

You tell your father to get out and you tell him real pain so he doesn't misunderstand.

You want me to run my own father and my own brother out of town?

It's your duty, Davey.

Otherwise, the folks won't know what side you're on.

I've got a bum like to prove which side I'm on.

As far as my brother and my father in the war are concerned, you don't have to tell me my duty.

Well, I reckon that means you're here with us, sir.

Hal, come back!

You catch him stupid again. You ought to tan him good.

That was my brother.

We were always real close.

He was coming to be with me.

On our side.

Hi, Al.

Hal?

What's the matter?

Isn't there some way I can help?

Go away.

There's nothing anyone can do to help.

Just go on away.

I ain't going anyplace. Until you turn around and tell me what's wrong.

Well, if you feel that bad, why don't you cry?

Paul says it's not a disgrace. He says it does a body good.

I guess you've been talking to Davey.

No, I meant to, though, but that old Charlie Pete got there first and he and Davey talked.

What were they talking about?

Well, Charlie Pete done most of it, but he talked like he blamed Davey for something that Paul had done.

That's what the preacher must have meant last time he came mown.

What did he say?

He said something about the sins of the father coming to visit with his sons.

What does that mean?

I ain't sure.

Unless it means sometimes, grownups do something to make it hard for us kids.

You know something, Israel? You're real smart.

Followed thinks of sometimes.

You're a real good friend, too.

Well, you know I feel a whole lot better now that you and me have had a talk.

You mean that?

I'm going to cross my heart.

Well, if you feel that much better, why don't you make a fish in?

One, two.

I don't like it, Dannel.

How long has he been here? Not even a week getting already this trouble brewing?

I tell you, if John guest stays, there's going to be big trouble before we get through.

What makes you say that?

Well, Charlie Pete was in again last night, along with some of the others.

Now, he's getting folks all steamed up.

Charlie talks too much.

Well, he, erm, had a lot of folks who was listening to him.

Well, he's going to be big trouble because John guest is staying.

Are you sure of that?

Moving into the old Watkins cabin.

Well, couldn't you talk him out of it?

I didn't even try. A man's got a right to live where he chooses.

Dannel, it sounded like you're sticking up for him.

Since Natus, who's to say he was wrong?

You and I stood up for, I believe, so did he.

I reckon that's his privilege too.

Now, and I wish he'd choose someplace else to do it.

Dan?

Sean? Since Natus?

How did he?

How's the cabin?

Oh, lots more work to do.

How's out there now?

All by himself?

Well, people haven't been exactly friendly.

I don't think they'd bother a small boy.

Well, now what can I do for you?

Brooke Max.

Got to invest in a new one.

Well, could Davey fix it?

Er, John, erm, I've got some good one standing right there in the cake.

How much?

A dollar and a half.

A dollar and a half?

Well, everything is dear these days.

That's top notch Pennsylvania steel.

John, I'll take any old one for two bits.

Now, you can get it fixed.

And I'll put it on your account, John.

Thank you.

John?

Oh, folks will change in time.

Not unless you help.

Oh, I can't hold him at gun's point.

Wouldn't do no good if he could.

Guns ain't gonna settle this.

If you've got to talk to people, explain why you come back.

Charlie Peter, no Charlie Pete.

Most of them are just scared of Charlie.

They won't listen when I say hello.

Even my own son.

And you're gonna have to make him.

Gain their respect.

And that'll be the end of Charlie Pete.

Well, I hope I leave that long.

I hope so too, John, for all our sakes.

Folks don't get cured of this being afraid.

Everything we've fought for in this country is just gonna fade away like summer snow.

Well, thanks anyway.

So long.

I guess take your hands off of me.

My cat said whoop of yours spying on me just once more.

I want to teach him a lesson he'll never forget.

He didn't spy on you.

You heard what I said.

Charlie, if you're ever so much as touch that boy, I'll hang your hide up to dry.

I don't take words like that off your kind.

You'll take them from me.

Are you choosing me?

It's right, Er.

Charlie, that's enough.

You've had your sport leaving alone.

Get out of here.

Are you all right?

I'm still alive.

Chill!

Chill!

Out!

Out me, David!

Oh!

Looks like you've been working pretty hard.

Me and Paul.

Listen, Hal, about what happened at the shop.

Here's a mistake I knew while you came.

I should have known, Davey.

Look, he can go back to Canada where he belongs.

To Canada.

Oh, you know, Paul. He feels he belongs here.

He's gotta go, Hal, or else.

Or else you and your friend Charlie Petal run him out or shoot him.

Can't you see that's just what we don't want?

He's a traitor, Hal.

Well, at least he did it on his own.

He didn't have no Charlie Pete telling him what to do.

Or Paul.

You only have your want him.

Get off our property.

I'm taking you along with me.

Look, you and I live together, Will.

I'll take good care of you.

Well, I'm fun like we're used to.

Come on.

All right, have at your own light.

Well, we got another axe.

That's good.

Anything you want to tell me, son?

Paul, why do we stay here?

Because this is our country, son.

Paul, can't you see it don't want us?

Don't forget, we have friends here.

Well, it's enemies.

We can go back to Canada.

Man can't keep running from himself, Hal.

He's got to make a stand for what he thinks is right.

No matter if somebody else gets hurt.

No matter.

No matter.

Now I got sins from you and Davey, both that's come to visit with me.

It just don't seem fair.

Get up.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Oh, looks like we'll be ready tonight.

How are you boys coming?

Oh, we're almost done too.

Hey, Paul, let's have a raise.

John, all right.

I was going to really put the air fast, you get that far with him.

Come on.

Let's go start it.

Come on, Hal.

Good, I'm here.

I'll carry on with you.

What a bet.

We can't wait to beat us.

We'll beat him, all right.

What if we don't hurry?

Come on.

All right, no slow down now.

We're done.

We're all finished here.

Oh, it's a dice.

Oh, we're that different.

Oh, here.

You get the first drink, Mr. Boone.

Well, thank you, Hal.

Yeah, your company.

Sorry to might be tainted.

Good and sweet.

At least you won't have to watch your face on us.

Well, the other well's done.

Let's see if Becky's ready for a first fire.

Yeah, what's lighter up?

Start the light first fire.

I heard everybody candle dead.

Oh, man.

Watkins knew how to build a chimney.

She's coming.

Well, at least she started anyway.

I don't like that.

Well, you know you got to wait for the hot air to start your eyes

before you get a grab.

You know that, John.

First smoke off of our new hearth.

She draws like a house of fire.

I've got a bottle under all that stuff in the wagon

if celebrating's not against your principles.

Never has been, John.

John, everything in its own time.

You men.

You know, the sun is already in the west

and if you want to sleep in your own house tonight,

oh, and I almost forgot, Israel,

will you get that little surprise out of the ring for me?

I love housewarming remembrance from our family to yours.

Thanks, Becky.

Thanks very much.

You're pretty.

I remember when Ma was alive,

I'll take you to the deer.

I'm going to go inside and finish anything.

Come on, how you're slowing down.

Well, that's the first step, John.

House got his own home.

I don't know if only Davey.

Well, just give him a little time.

Are you two grown men going to stand there

and let the children do your work?

And we're ready for the furniture.

You just heard the general speak.

And when she speaks, you move.

Yes ma'am.

40-year-old me to put these.

Oh, put them right there.

Here, John.

I'll come back tomorrow and help you get your things arranged.

Oh, is there anything else you want me to bring in, Paul?

Well, I guess that's about it.

We're now.

Except for that bottle under the front seat.

I've been saving it for a long time, Dan.

Against the time we'd have a home again.

Well, then you can save it for a day or two longer

until we get you moved in properly.

It's getting late and I have things to do at home.

I'll save it then.

There's a pot of stew on the fire and I've already made it the bits.

I'll take a look at it.

Well, what you gonna say goodbye?

I won't even try to thank you.

Well, there's no need to.

You never know.

Someday we may need some help.

You just yell and we'll be there.

Bye, Hal.

It's burning.

Come on, Hal.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Bye-bye.

No matter how much we've done, it's still a lonesome house.

Hey, Mom.

Why don't we get my house worried?

You know, that's where sometimes you come out with a real good idea.

Dan, do you think people would come?

If Paul asked him to a party, they would.

They're going to take it easy.

Now you take it easy.

The cholera is...

The point I'm making is we put them lobster backs once.

What about it?

How do we want them back or not?

No!

How do you all say that except she ain't done one thing to prevent it?

We already got one here and he took up land and moved into a house

and not one man's raised a hand against him.

You, Henry.

You lost a boy in the war.

For all you know it was John, guess the shotty.

Yeah, he sure could have.

Yeah.

Hey, what do you say to that, sir?

Yeah.

Good.

Navy.

For all you know, your own Paul made a cripple out of you.

Charlie, I'm going to ask you just one question.

Go ahead and ask.

Now you've been making a lot of wild claims concerned in just who shot who,

so I'm going to ask you man to man.

When you're out there fighting, did you ever stop to ask somebody's name

before you pulled the trigger?

You ain't taking sides again, I saw you since in that, is it?

Well, you can be real certain I ain't taking your side.

You know why?

I'll tell you why.

Because Boone's been talking to you.

What's wrong with that?

I can answer that too.

Boone's gone and double crossed us all.

He showed guest land and now he's helped him fix up his house.

Now, there you go.

Boone being out there makes a difference though, don't it?

What difference?

Well, he swings a lot of weight in these parts.

Well, will you listen to that?

Blood will out.

What does that mean?

I am not Tori, y'all know that.

What do you really mean, Liz?

He's scared.

You might get nerve enough to stand up for your own.

And Davey, if you ain't got the nerve, I have because I am going to put a stop in the car.

And Davey, if you ain't got the nerve, I have because I am going to put a stop on this right now.

You ain't going no girl, man.

Get outta here!

I'm now waiting for I told you outta here.

Get outta here, get outta here, get out of here.

Get outta here, get outta here, get out of here, get out of here!

Get outta here, get outta here, get out of here!

Get out of here!

Any more yellow pillies around here?

All right, come on then.

Any man that hangs back, Satori, you with us, Davy?

Let's go!

Let's go!

Satori!

Satori!

Satori!

Satori!

What's that?

It's all right, son.

Satori!

Satori!

Satori!

Here, get into these.

Come out, Satori!

Yes, Satori!

Satori's a colleague of ours at Tori!

If I'm out the window, when I shut the door...

You should not go in after, are you, Paul?

I want to make sure they're watching me.

Not you.

Keep low till you run away.

Then make it to the boons, for help us fast so you can go.

Yes, sir.

There he is!

What do you want?

Well, it ain't no welcome home, I'll promise you.

Where's Hal?

Do you think I'd bring him out here?

To face your friends?

We'll get him out before we're done with you and we'll learn him about Tori's.

Yeah.

Aren't you glad to see your own colors?

Yeah, I'll take a look.

They aren't mine.

Put it back.

Make him stomp on it.

Let's make him throw down on the ground and stomp on it.

Ahh!

Let him take it along with him.

That's fair enough.

You can take your rag along with you.

I'm not going anyplace.

You're going back to Canada.

Thought I'd wait to talk up, Davey boy.

Sorry, Dave. I'm staying here.

Paul, get out right now.

This is no place where you go back to Canada while you still have a chance.

This is our country, Dave.

You were born here.

So was your brother.

Your mother's buried here.

And it's here I'll die.

He said it himself.

Sam, give me the roof.

No, Charlie, we don't want no part of that.

Yeah.

Which side are you on?

You're taking him to make a man of you.

At least let him decide.

He did choose.

You all heard him.

So you ain't got no Tory blood?

Here I'll give you the honor.

Are you a traitor after all?

Go, Katie!

What? Get out of here!

I'm going to get out of here.

I'm going to get out of here.

I'm going to get out of here.

I'm going to get out of here.

Oh, Katie!

What? Get out of here!

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

That's it, right?

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

Get out!

Charlie!

They ain't no need for that.

Let them go back to Canada.

Take it.

One end or the other.

Tory's friends are Tory's and our eyes.

We've got it open up for all of you.

I can't.

Charlie, you know, need for that.

Let him go back to Canada.

Take it.

One end or the other.

Tory's friends are Tory's and our eyes.

We've got it open up for all of you.

I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

Morgan.

Drop that rope or I'll drop you and it won't make much difference to me either way.

You're gonna get one of us, Boone.

I'll let you figure out which one it'll be, Charlie.

Do as he says.

All right, move away from him.

John!

Ben!

I wouldn't do that if I were you, Charlie.

Sam.

Morgan.

I'll get you.

Tucker.

But he's only going to stand there.

They didn't quite commit a murder, Charlie.

No thanks to you.

Now, do you want to walk out of here or do you want to crawl?

Neighbors?

Don't leave.

I think this is a time and place for us to try and understand each other.

Stevens.

Joe McAdams.

Simon.

Hardly a man here.

I haven't fought beside.

You betrayed the revolution.

Not as much as you, Morgan.

The revolution was fought to prove man's right to his own conscience.

Whether you or me or anyone else agrees or not.

Now you men.

You dared fight the Redcoats and stand up to George III.

And yet you knuckled under to Charlie Pete.

Because you were afraid that Charlie would thank you were unpatriotic.

Sorry, John.

Your speech is not mine.

You said it better than I ever could.

I only hope it's all over.

Good night, John.

Morgan.

Now that the rest of you have made your peace,

why don't you go home and get some rest.

Davy?

Son?

Hey, we're a family again, huh?

Israel, I think we better start preparing for that house, Warming.

That's a good idea.
