All language subtitles for S1E22 - The Bill Tawnee Story

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!
