You and your family heading west all by yourselves?

That is right.

Don't often see an outfit going it alone without them wagon trains.

Most folks are too scared of...

Of Indians?

That is one thing I do not have to worry about.

I never meant nothing. They're all kinds.

Some of them are good friends of mine.

It is all right, mister. I do not mind.

You just gonna sit up there?

Why don't you get down and stretch your legs, be sociable?

You savvy English, don't you?

Talk-em pale face lingo.

Please...

Oh, you can talk. That's better.

You ought to try and be a little friendlier.

Me, I'm feeling real friendly.

No, let me go!

Are you all right, darling?

Please, let's go. Bill!

No filthy Indian lays a hand on me!

Norden, lay off him, you drunken fool!

♪

Push them out!

Hey, McCullough! Come over here!

Can I do something for you, Major?

Yeah, Wooster and I have been wondering about some feed for this stock.

We haven't had any graze the last few days.

Grass, huh? Well, there's a meadow up on the little grizzly.

You ought to find grass there.

If you hurry these wagons of yours along,

you might make it by tomorrow night.

Yeah, but what about after that?

Maybe you better range on ahead and see what you can locate.

Maybe I'd better.

But keep your eyes open, will you?

Hey, what are you going off that direction for?

It's a shortcut.

You know, a man on a horse doesn't have to take

all these corners the way you fellas in your wagons do.

Never mind about those wagons. If it wasn't for them, you wouldn't have a job.

Bright boy.

Come on, pick it up!

Hey, Major, what do you suppose that wagon's doing sitting there off the trail?

Ho!

Some poor folks must have gone off and left it.

Well, they wouldn't have gone off and left their horses.

Hey, there's a woman.

Give them a breather. I'll go have a look.

Right.

Please. Need help.

Yeah, what's your trouble?

My husband. He hurt.

Where is he? In the wagon?

Say, how'd this happen?

There was trouble at trading post

we come through yesterday.

What kind of trouble?

Because of me.

Someone try...

Oh, I see.

Has he been like this ever since yesterday?

I no can wake him.

This might be serious.

We got a man back on the wagon train might help.

I'll send him over and have a look.

We no want to be bother.

Don't worry about that.

Hey, where'd your husband get this?

Great chief give to him.

He have three medals. Very big medicine.

He stand before blue coats,

and great chief soldier pin them on him... here.

One day our son will own medals.

Because of them, he be proud.

You mean, your husband served in the regular army during the war?

What's his name?

To blue coats, he Bill.

Bill? Not Bill Tawnee?

You know of him?

Well, of course I do.

I've seen him dozens of times.

We served in the same outfit under General Sherman.

Yes, that great chief soldier's name.

Listen, lady, you better come along with us.

We'll be making camp in just about an hour.

Are you sure all right?

Other wagons no mind?

Ma'am, this happens to be my wagon train,

and I'll guarantee you that there's a place in it

for a man like Bill Tawnee.

You just stay right here. I'll send a man over to drive for you. Come on.

Well, you can imagine how I felt,

looking up in that tree and seeing that Reb sniper

with his sights trained right on me.

I don't suppose I was closer to death at any time in the whole war.

But then I've always been a man who can think and move fast in an emergency.

I got one off from the hip, and he was dead before he hit the ground.

Captain said it was the neatest bit of shooting he ever saw.

Of course I never did tell you about that time on sentry in Chancellorsville.

Sure, you did.

Yeah, that's right. You told us that one, Barry.

Well, how could I when I only just now remembered it?

Well, I've got about all I can handle here. I'll see you later.

Me, too.

Blowhard.

Hey there, Steve. Come over here, boy.

Didn't you know I was looking for you?

Yes, sir. I'm sorry, Pa.

I was looking at the Indian.

What Indian?

Well, the one that just joined the train.

Everybody's talking about him.

I heard Major Adams say he's got a lot of medals

he earned being a hero in the war.

Oh, he has, has he?

You always told me you was a hero, Pa.

How come you ain't got no medals?

Oh, I got them all right.

Well, can I see them? How come I haven't seen them?

Well, I'm just not the kind of man to wear them and make a show, that's all.

Yeah, well, the Indian doesn't wear his either,

but the Major says he sure enough got them.

Pa...

Are you real sure that you got a medal?

Are you saying I don't tell the truth?

No, no, Pa, no.

Well, you better hadn't.

Now you get some kindling, and don't be losing that axe.

I told you the next time I find something of mine laying around,

I'm gonna lick the tar out of you.

Yes, sir.

Lianna. Lianna.

You speak.

You all right?

Where are we? What we doing here?

Please. No get up.

Why you bring me here? This is wagon camp, no?

Yes.

Their leader know you.

Man called Major Adams.

He very kind.

You do wrong bring me here.

You not know white man.

He be kind, but treat you like dirt in the road.

You feel like this because of what happened.

It is not that.

All my life, I try to learn how live with them.

All my life, something happen.

I know.

But if you know how it was to see you hurt, be like dead,

I had do something.

I understand.

Our son cries.

You not angry?

You do right.

What's the matter, Bill? Your head still aching you a bit?

I be all right.

Charlie Wooster tells me he looked at your ribs. You got no cracked ones.

Looks like you came off all right considering what happened.

I'm Major Adams. I'm boss of this outfit.

I thought I recognize you.

You with General Sherman in war.

I sure was, and so were you. I remember you there.

You were the general's favorite scout.

He my favorite general.

I'm very grateful for your help, Major.

That's all right, Bill.

We try not be bother very long.

Bill, let me tell you something.

There'll never come the time when you won't be welcome on my wagon train.

Thank you, Major.

You, uh, going clear to the coast, are you?

Oregon. Here's title to quarter section.

General Sherman gave it to me. Oh.

He say I earn same as any other man who fought for Union.

Well, that's fine.

What are you gonna do when you get out there? Farm?

And follow my trade. I've learned to be carpenter.

Mission school. Kansas.

Oh, that's good.

Well, you take it easy around here, Bill.

I'll get back to you a little later. I've got some work to do.

Oh, good evening, ma'am.

Why you laugh?

Way he call me ma'am.

That mean he respect you.

I like that.

I like him.

But I wonder about others.

All right, boys. Get hitched up.

Load everything up, folks. We leave in half an hour.

Get those fires out. Get your fires out.

Get everything loaded up. We roll in half an hour.

Get them loaded up, folks. Kick your fires out, boys.

Everything's packed and ready.

We stay with the train?

I do not know.

I like to stay, but I do not think it be wise.

There, there, Little Owl. Don't cry.

Oh, I'm sorry if I frightened you, but could I see him?

It's a boy, ain't it?

Our son.

I'm Mrs. Kirk.

My husband and I, we had a little baby boy...

Our grandson.

What's his name?

His Indian name... Little Owl.

Most times I call him Bill, for his father.

What was your grandson called?

His name was Bill, too.

We lost them both... Little Billy and his mother.

Buried them beside the trail back in Kansas.

It must have been a very great sorrow for you.

Would you like to hold him?

Could I?

Thank you.

Oh...

You like my son?

Oh, yes, he's a fine boy.

He be a brave when grow up.

Great warrior. Strong and proud.

Right now, I think he wants his mama.

She's good. I like her.

We stay.

Morning, Barry. Ready to roll?

Yeah, I'm ready.

Is something wrong?

I call it wrong, Major.

I got a growing boy next to me here.

I just don't like for... well, for him to be exposed to bad influences.

Well, I'd have to agree with you there,

but just what bad influences are you talking about?

Well, you forced me to say it.

I don't think you got any right putting my wagon next in line

to an outfit of heathens.

Mr. Barry, if you don't like being next to them heathens,

I'm sure the Kirks would be more than happy to change places with you.

Morning, ma'am. Bill.

Morning. Major.

You look a little bit better than you did last night.

A lot, Major.

Good. I'm glad you decided to come along with us.

I'd hate to think you held it against us for what happened with some drunk.

It is all right, Major. I have forgotten.

Good man.

Well, Major, did you find any grass for the horses?

Yeah, they're out there eating their heads off.

I'm mighty glad to hear that. They sure did need it.

You know, I've been thinking about taking that old team of mine

and putting them right up in the wagon with me.

Ha. How would we ever tell you apart?

Now, Major!

MAN: Major Adams.

Yeah.

What's up, Bill?

These fellas just rode in, Major.

Howdy, I'm Jeb Corry, Ben Lafferty, and Pete Jackson.

I'm Seth Adams. Where you fellas heading?

Why, we aim to wind up in Denver.

We was wondering if you might have some grub that you could sell us.

We might be able to fix you up.

Oh, nothing fancy... Salt mainly and coffee.

If a man has that, he can get along on what he picks off with his gun.

I noticed you're traveling kind of light there, aren't you?

Uh, yeah, that ain't exactly our idea.

A bunch of thieving Indians got into our camp last night,

and you know how they are...

Come in begging and when you turn your back, they steal you blind.

Sure cleaned us out.

Well, I suppose we got enough vittles to let you have some.

Stick around till after supper. I'll have Charlie Wooster did out something for you.

Fine, thanks.

See they get fed, will you, Bill?

Sure enough, Major. Follow me.

They must be some of them get-rich-quick gents,

all fired up with that Colorado silver fever.

I don't know what they're fired up with, but I don't like the way they talk.

Still, I guess you can't turn folks away when they're hungry.

There you go again... Picking up them strays.

Oh, yeah, that was a bad one all right.

You know, I got wounded in three places that day.

Is that a fact?

Well, I hope to tell you,

Captain said if I hadn't been such a valuable man,

they wouldn't have even tried to patch me up.

Have another drink.

Oh, thanks.

Ahh.

Yes, sir, that was some of the toughest fighting

we ever did come up against,

when we made that crossing at Jones Ferry.

A man faced death 100 times that day...

100 times.

Major Adams.

Hello, Bill. What can I do for you?

Would you lend me gun?

Haven't you got a gun?

Only weapon I have is war bow my father carried in battle.

I did have six-shooter, but that go for supplies.

There's quail in bush beyond rise there.

I thought I pick up a few in morning.

Well, sure. Then you want my shotgun, don't you?

Here we are right here. Here's some powder.

In case you get some, why, give me a couple, will you?

I'll see if Wooster's forgotten how to cook them.

Thank you, Major.

All right. You're welcome, Bill.

But I knew better.

I knew there was a Reb behind every tree and every rock.

Captain said I had the sharpest eyes in the regiment.

Say, Tawnee, weren't you with General Sherman during the war?

Yes.

And at the Jones Ferry crossing?

I was.

How was it? Mighty rugged?

Rugged? No.

You mean that those Rebs didn't put up any fuss?

How could they? They were not there.

We did not hear a shot fired all day.

So you faced death 100 times, huh?

Well, Barry, I guess we got the goods on you this time.

Making a liar out of me, will you?

What did I say?

You didn't need to say nothing.

We just been waiting for him to get his foot caught in that big mouth of his.

Go on, Barry. You're not gonna let a thieving Indian

get away with anything like that, are you?

I don't aim to.

I've had enough of this Bill Tawnee, his medals, and his uniform.

You're probably right. I'll bet anything he stole them.

I do not steal. I earn uniform.

Expect me to believe that?

I do not lie.

Come on, get him, Barry!

Come on, break it up, break it up! Cut it out!

Bill! Now, what started this?

Well, Barry here was shooting his mouth off

about how he won the war at Jones Ferry,

and Bill just showed him up.

Then those three gents egged Barry on.

This your bottle?

Yeah.

We have problems enough around the wagon camp

without strangers bringing in bottles.

I think you better go find Wooster and pick up your stuff

and get out of here, all three of you. Now get.

Let's go.

And you, Mr. Barry...

that mouth of yours is getting a little bit too big for your size.

So just close it for a change.

All right, everybody, break it up. Come on, get out of here.

We gotta get an early start in the morning. Go on.

Well, what do you think?

That's the outfit we wanna take, Lafferty.

If I wasn't sure, that major kicking us out of camp was all I needed.

When do we hit them?

Tonight's good enough.

Stock needs grass, so the horses will be loose herded.

Means there isn't gonna be much of a guard.

We won't have any trouble.

You stay here and keep an eye on the train.

I'll go get the rest of the boys.

Go ahead. See you tonight.

All right.

Where you get that?

Mrs. Kirk give to me.

It belong to her daughter. It reader.

Already I have learned some words.

Do not laugh.

Do you think maybe I learn to read?

Why not? It not so hard.

Why you so anxious to learn?

For you.

You leave our world behind.

I want share this new life with you.

I want learn ways of white man.

I want walk beside you as wife, not always behind like squaw.

I want you no be ashamed of me.

Ashamed?

You talk more foolishness than you ever learn in pages of book.

Do you not know I think more of you

than anyone ever did of any wife?

Than help me with the lesson.

"Do you see the Dog?

The dog's name is..."

This word.

Prince.

Prince?

This word means son of great chief.

Oh. Than this word I know.

Only two guards.

It'll be easy when Lafferty and the rest of them get here.

Well, how'd you do with the birds, Bill?

I have two good ones for you. I give to Wooster.

You take gun when I have cleaned.

Oh, you didn't have to clean that gun, Bill.

I have finished. Here, and thanks.

You're welcome.

Hey, Barry, come here a minute.

What do you want?

I wanna talk to you two fellas about what happened last night.

I know it didn't amount to a hoop this time, but next time it might.

I want you to shake hands with each other.

Oh, now, wait a minute, Major.

I mean exactly what I say.

You should have cooled off enough by now, Barry,

to know that you were in the wrong, carrying on like that.

You got just what you deserved.

Well...

What about you, Bill?

I not look for trouble with anyone.

Well, that's fine. Let's see your hand on it.

That's the stuff.

Bill, next time you wanna borrow my gun, just let me know.

Oh, Major, speaking of borrowing guns, I'm missing my rifle.

I'd like you to keep an eye open.

You sure that boy of yours didn't take it out?

No, he wouldn't touch it.

Whoever's got it won't do them any good,

my name's right there on the stock.

Than what are you worrying about?

No man's fool enough to go carrying around a branded rifle.

Better not.

He's an ornery cuss, ain't he?

Well, don't let him bother you, Bill.

You just steer clear of him.

I mean to.

Bill. Bill, come here.

Is something wrong?

The baby. He is so hot.

Do you think he have a chill?

I do not know about these things,

but we should keep baby warm. I go get wood for fire.

Maybe I ask Mrs. Kirk for some medicine.

Yes. She will know what to do.

"Barry."

I don't think it's anything serious, but you must be very careful.

You just keep him warm and quiet.

I'm sure he'll be all right.

Oh, he is so hot to the touch.

Now, now, don't you fret.

Children always run pretty high fever.

Please, don't go away.

I am so afraid.

Sure, I know. I'll be glad to stay with you.

You are so good.

I am not afraid anymore.

How old are you, child?

Twenty-three.

Elizabeth would have been 24 this October.

Elizabeth? She was your daughter? The one who died?

I kept some of her things, hers and the baby's.

I had no heart to get rid of them.

I understand that.

I'm glad now I kept them.

Would you be offended if I offered them to you?

I no be offended by anything you do.

It would make me very happy if you wore them sometime.

Thank you, Mrs. Kirk. I'd be happy to wear them.

Thank you, Lianna.

It'll make me feel like I have a daughter again.

Hey there, you! That's my rifle!

See my name on the stock? Or can you read?

I just found it. I bring it to you.

Found it, my foot.

Well, I guess we all know the truth about you now, Mr. Bill Tawnee.

What you mean by that?

You and your medals. Where'd you steal them?

And you've got the nerve to call another man a liar.

Be careful what you say, Mr. Barry.

It's like they say... any Indian at all is a liar and a thief.

I kill you for that.

BILL: Lianna.

Lianna.

Get wagon Loaded. We go.

Load wagon.

What is it, Bill?

It does not matter.

What happened?

I almost killed a man.

We stay here, I will kill him.

We not belong here. I know that.

We have to leave. Now. Tonight.

We cannot. Our son is ill.

With illness he catch from these people.

Always it is like this. They leave us nothing.

Even our children must die.

Do not say that.

You yourself taught me we must learn to walk in their paths.

Perhaps this is not so for you and me,

but it is the only hope of our son.

He must have his chance.

You talk of our son. You think only of yourself.

No.

Where you get that dress?

Mrs. Kirk give it to me. It belong to her daughter.

You take their leavings.

This is not true. She loves me, like a daughter.

And you believe this?

Go on. Learn to read. Become as their women.

To be my wife is no longer good enough for you.

You believe that?

You honestly believe that?

It does not matter what I believe.

I cannot stay here.

Are you coming with me?

I cannot.

Our son might die. I cannot leave now.

There is land for him when he be grown.

Keep it safe.

Someday he may have need of it.

You are not going. You cannot.

I must. Good-bye, Lianna.

Wait!

You forget coat.

I no longer have use for it.

Well, partner, I think it's about time for you and me to turn in. Hmm?

Charlie, come on, get out of there. Look alive.

What's up, Major? What's up?

I think we're losing our horses.

Get your boots on. Hurry up! Move!

Major Adams!

It's the horses! They're stampeding!

Any of you men got a horse here,

get them saddled up and come on!

Where are the guards?

Oh, they probably went out to head them off.

All right, men, this way!

Wait for me, Major! Major, wait for me! Wait!

Well, I'm not gonna try to tell you the situation's not serious because it is.

There's nothing more we can do about it tonight.

We gotta wait till morning when we can see some tracks, and we'll go after them.

Morning? Well, they could be miles away by then.

Not necessarily.

A stampede usually runs out of steam pretty fast, unless it's pushed.

You think somebody might have run them off?

Well, we'll have to find that out in the morning, too.

Gall darn that McCullough. Wouldn't you know he wouldn't be here when I need him.

What about that Indian? We can use him.

Well, Bill Tawnee, sure. I wonder where he is. I haven't seen him. Ho.

Lianna, where's Bill?

He is gone.

What do you mean he's gone? Where?

I'll answer for her, Major. Poor thing's upset.

Her husband left the train. Said it was for good.

When was this?

Early this evening.

I guess he had a run in with somebody.

That's right. I caught him red-handed with my rifle.

I don't believe that.

Well, suit yourself,

but it took some doing to get it away from him.

He nearly brained me with an axe.

I wouldn't be surprised if it ain't him who run off the horses.

That is a lie.

You keep out of this.

Now, wait a minute. Don't go jumping at conclusions.

Naturally, you always stand up for him no matter what he does.

Well, I tell you, I found him with the gun right in his hand.

Y'all know my rifle. It's got my name right there on the stock.

All right, Mr. Barry.

We've got something a good deal more important to worry about right now

than making charges against a man that's not here to defend himself.

Major Adams.

What's this, Bill?

Somebody take him.

It's Bob Jordan. He's dead.

Found him out on the meadow.

He was a night guard, wasn't he?

Yeah.

What happened? Do you know?

Knife in the back.

Hi-yo.

Looks to me like the trail splits here.

You're right, Major. Some of them swing this way,

the rest of them veer off around that hump, looks like.

Well, I figure whoever run off our heard had too much to handle.

They must've grabbed onto what they could handle and let the rest of them go.

Well, how we gonna tell which way they went then?

We can't. Bill, you'll have to take some of the men and follow this trail.

Charlie, you and the rest of us will go this way.

Right.

Bixby, Barry, Chuck, come on, let's go.

Well, there they are, Major.

ADAMS: Some of them anyway. Scattered all over the place.

Sure a pretty sight. There's my old team.

I never thought I'd see them again.

You take the boys and go on and round them up and head back for the train.

And don't push them either.

I better go see what Hawks and the others have turned up.

Be careful, Major.

I'll be careful. You just get the horses back.

Yes, sir. Come on, men.

Ah, there's no use fooling ourselves.

We might as well turn back.

Yeah, you're right.

We lost them real good back there

when they drove them through that creek.

We'll never catch up with them now.

Hey, wait!

That's that Indian. Hey, Bill! Bill Tawnee!

Go easy, Hawks. Can't take any chances with him.

Well, maybe he knows something.

He knows plenty.

Just a question of getting it out of him.

You can't say that yet, Barry.

Well, what kind of proof do you want?

How come we find him here right where the trail runs out?

I've heard of this Indian trick.

They steal your horses, and then they sell them back to you.

Well, we'll find out soon enough.

What do you want?

We thought you might know something about our horses.

They were run off last night.

You want me to help you find them?

I'll bet you could, for a price.

What is that supposed to mean?

Well, now let's not beat around the bush, Tawnee.

I think you know just where our horses are,

and I figure you can be made to tell us.

Do you believe this?

No, I don't.

It couldn't be anybody else.

That's right, Barry.

Well, Tawnee, you gonna talk?

Well, I guess we'll have to persuade you.

Now hold it, Barry.

We better wait and let the Major decide about this.

This is one thing we can do better without the Major.

Grab him, boys.

Take him over there.

You, too, Hawks.

You still got a chance, Tawnee, but it's running out.

Bill, if you know anything, tell us.

Why? They hang me anyway.

All right, you're asking for it.

ADAMS: Hold on there! Turn him loose, all of you!

What do you think you're up to?

Turn that man loose! Get that rope down off of there!

We just wanna make sure that what happened to us

doesn't happen to some other wagon train.

Oh, I suppose you figure he run off our horses all by himself.

Well, he probably scouted us and got some others of his breed to help him.

Is that so? Well, you saw the tracks,

but you didn't notice that they were made by shod horses.

So they couldn't have been Indians.

Well, who was it then?

I don't know who it was.

Might have been that outfit that came through saying they were headed for Denver,

but I know it certainly wasn't Bill Tawnee.

Now go on, get over there. Get away from him.

Thanks, Major.

I'm sorry, Major. I tried to stop the hot head.

Come on, let's get back to our wagons.

Well, now what about our horses?

We found some of them, enough so we can roll anyway.

But we're gonna have a real tough next 100 miles

till we get some place where we can buy fresh teams.

We'll have to lighten our loads, maybe even leave some of the wagons behind.

You mean abandon them?

If we have to, yes. Now go on, get out of here.

Go on, all of you.

Bill. I don't suppose there's any use in me asking you to come back with me.

No, Major. There is no use.

There would always be something.

First it was the rifle, then the horses.

I know how you feel, but, Bill, you're a good man. You got a fine wife and baby.

I wish you'd reconsider and come back.

I'm sorry, Major, but my mind is made up.

It cannot be helped.

All right. Anything you want me to tell Lianna?

Good luck, Bill.

Thanks.

They're camped in there under the trees. See anything from out here?

No, not a thing.

I told you, they'll never find those horses in a million years.

All right, you stay here and look after the stock.

I'll go see if I can locate some buyers.

That's a good idea.

See you in a few days.

So long.

Lianna, how is he now?

Better I think.

He have fever this morning, but gone now.

That's good. Glad to hear it.

Major. Do you see Bill today?

Yes, I did, but how'd you know that?

I hear men talking.

Oh? Well, just what did you hear, Lianna?

There was trouble, wasn't there?

Well, it didn't amount to much,

but I'm afraid now we won't be able to get Bill to come back.

Did he send any word for me?

Yes, he did. He sends you all his love.

Did he say that?

Well, not in so many words, but that's what he meant.

Thank you, Major.

Wait a minute, Wooster! You ain't taking my horses!

For the last time, Bixby, them's the Major's orders.

He don't give me no such orders.

Now just what's going on here?

Major Adams, Wooster says

I gotta turn half my team over to somebody else's wagon.

Mr. Bixby, we're all in this situation together, and it's a bad one.

But I've got 100 wagons to roll, and I'm gonna roll them, one way or another.

But, Major, half them wagons is loaded down to the hubs!

Look at my poor critters! You'll ruin them!

Some things can't be helped, Bixby. I'm sorry.

I still say you ain't got no right to take my horses!

Now just a minute. Cool down, all of you.

Every man here knew when we started out

that we were in this thing together,

and nobody was gonna be left behind.

Well, I'll guarantee you nobody is gonna be left behind,

as long as I'm boss of this outfit.

Now go on back to your wagons.

We roll at dawn.

Go on back, all of you.

Well, Mr. Barry, you got any complaints?

No, Major.

Well, that's nice for a change.

Well, it's like you said... We're all in this together.

How come you didn't think of that

before you hounded poor Bill Tawnee out of this wagon train?

Well, I didn't do anything. He left of his own accord, didn't he?

Sure, he did, sure.

You just branded the man a thief

and gall darned near got him hung, that's all.

That's nothing, is it?

Well, maybe I was a little hasty out there,

but what would you call a man who'd steal your rifle?

Oh, what's the use talking to you?

Wait, Major. Pa, it wasn't Bill Tawnee that took your rifle.

What's that? I took it.

Then I guess I just forgot and left it there.

I'm sorry, Major. I didn't mean to hurt nobody,

but Pa said he'd strip my hide if I so much as even looked at that gun.

Well, Major, I guess I kind of made a mess of everything.

Can't even raise a boy who'll tell his own father the truth.

Maybe that comes with you stretching the truth a little

too often yourself, Mr. Barry.

This might be worth remembering.

Hey. Leave some for Davis, will you? He likes to eat, too.

I'm going up to relieve him.

All right, Davis. Go down and get yourself some grub.

Hey, you hungry?

What do you see out there that's so interesting?

Some guard. Hey.

BILL: Put your hands up.

Howdy, Major.

Well, what held you up?

This time I waited for you.

Thought maybe you got tired of all this and gone back to St. Joe.

Mr. McCullough, did it ever occur to you to come back

and lend us a hand when we could use it?

Didn't you send me off to look for graze land?

Come on, what's going on?

What's going on... we got half our horses ran off, that's what's going on.

Major, with your kind of luck,

I don't think this wagon train is ever gonna get to California.

Why don't you dry up?

Hey, Major, look yonder!

ADAMS: That's our horses.

Ain't that Bill Tawnee chasing them?

ADAMS: It sure is.

Bill Tawnee... who's that?

If you wanna find out these things, why don't you stick around.

Boys, here come our horses.

Come on, mount up and go get them.

I'll get a horse, Major!

Come on, hurry it up! Give them a hand out there!

Hiya, Bill.

MAN: Nice to see you, Bill.

Say, Tawnee, if I ever say anything against you or your people again,

you can scalp me right then and there.

Might be easier said than done, Mr. Barry.

I think we best forget all about it, all right?

Oh, Bill. You did come back.

Lianna. Our son... how is he?

Mrs. Kirk say he all well.

You won't go away again. You stay.

ADAMS: He'll stay, ma'am.

He'll stay even if I have to hogtie him

and put him in the back of the wagon.

That won't be needed, Major.

You better get that blouse on again, too, Sergeant.

Yes, sir, Major.

I get.

That's more like it.

Yes, sir.

Come on, get out of there!
