All language subtitles for Riverboat S01E24 The Wichita Arrows

Yeah?

I don't know if I like
these here new fangle-dangle

tin buckets or not. Yeah, I don't either.

But it was so cheap I
couldn't afford not to buy it.

Makes the water taste funny.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Might be all right as soon as
the moss grows in the bucket.

Might be. Say, well, how many cords of
wood do you figure we got stacked here?

About 15, exactly what
Captain Holden paid for.

About time the Enterprise will be
coming around the bend, ain't it? I expect.

Say, Will, you got them
instructions written down that

Captain Holden left for
us to give Captain Turner?

Yeah, I got it right here.

Let me see what that says.

I don't want to forget that.

Now, here's what it says.

Have contractors to deliver to the dock.

Load aboard and continue upstream.

We'll meet you at Willow Landing.

Captain Holden, share
with Jenner's with us.

What's the matter with him?

I don't know, but I seen a
wolf earlier this morning.

Maybe I better go and take a look around.

Wilt!

Stay clear of that
snagged elaborate. Yes, sir.

This is the time of year for new
snags. We don't want a hole in the bottom.

No, sir.

Steady on.

Yes, sir.

Captain Turner, we at the Enterprise
think that Terry knows his business quite well.

I agree, Mr. McGregor.

Have I been too critical? Oh, no, sir.

When Captain Holden puts me in
charge of his boat, I run it like my own.

The only reason he put
you in charge is because

we don't happen to know
this particular river.

That's exactly what I'm getting paid for.

But you'll have Captain Holden back in
50 miles, so be patient with me, Mr.

McGregor. A couple of
blasts at the next bend,

Terry, for Mullins Wood Stop. Yes, sir.

Captain Holdman is scouting for cargo.

We haven't gone ahead to drum up
business. Oh, I don't mind Captain Turner.

Well, you'd better mind
him. He knows the Red River

by every inch. I didn't mean that.

Guess I'm a creature of habit.

Get used to taking orders from one man.

What kept you?

I didn't want to take
away the tray too quick.

She might have been asleep or something.

She touched the thing. As far as I know,
she ain't had business since last night.

I'm just going to see what Miss
Andrews doesn't like about my cooking.

Wait a minute.

I'll see what Miss Andrews
doesn't like about your cooking.

Who is it?

Captain Turner, miss.
I'd like to talk to you.

What do you want?

Well, the cook tells me you
haven't eaten a thing since last night.

Do I have to eat?

Well, you know, Miss Holly, the
meals are included with your fare.

Of course I know it.

Is there something wrong
with the food we serve?

No, there's nothing wrong with it.
I just haven't been feeling well,

and I don't care about eating.

You've had dinner at my
table twice on this trip.

You can't treat me like a stranger.

She's fair like a rose,
like a lamb, she is neat.

She never was known to
put paint on her cheek.

In the most graceful curls hangs a
raven black pair. She never requires...

Perfumerie there, dear Eveline, sweet
Eveline, my love for thee shall never,

never die. Dear Eveline, sweet Eveline,
my love for thee shall never, never die.

Captain, I want to apologize.

It's just the nearer we
get, the harder I worry.

Worry?

Sister Julie.

I must be sick of hearing about my family,

but I know she's in some
kind of trouble, and when

I read her letters
again, I just couldn't eat.

Julie. Let's see, she's
the married one, isn't she?

Mr. Scott's much older than herself.

I think she loves him,
but he's not good for her.

If it's marriage
trouble, don't go mixing in it.

Women don't like that.

Even sisters don't like that.

Captain Turner!

You come up here in a minute!

There's a lot of smoke
up around that bend.

That looks mighty close
to the Mullen's Wood Stop.

Break out the fire buckets, just in case.

Aye, sir.

Full speed ahead, Mr.
Carney. Captain Turner.

Here's a note from Captain Holden.

Found it near the bodies.

Contracted, first
delivered, loaned aboard.

Did you see anything that might be the
remains of a couple of tons of beaver pelts?

There's nothing like that around here.

Then the cargo was never brought here.

That's a Wichita idol.
There's no doubt about that.

Doesn't make sense. The Wichitas
usually don't come east of the cross timbers.

Looks like they did this time.

It's odd. They didn't
steal all the horses.

Those Redskins are all right.

This is the way they operate.

They've stolen what
they wanted and run. Well,

we'll stay here long
enough for me to ride into the

settlement and find out
what happened to those furs.

And I'll cut some more wood.
We'll be ready when you get back.

You better make up a burial party.

Aye, sir.

Terry, Josh, I want you to
come with me. Saddle the horses.

Aye, sir.

Captain.

Are you going to the Red River settlement?

Yes.

That's where I meet my sister Julie.

I'll come back for you.

I'm going with you.

No, Miss Holly.

We'll stop here for 15
minutes and give the horses a rest.

Terry, will you loosen the
cinches? Yes, sir, Captain.

How soon will you leave, Captain?

Tomorrow night at the latest. Why?

I thought I'd take my
sister Julie back with me.

It's a big house back home.

Big and empty. Empty?

Since my parents died.

Oh, I'm sorry.

They died together.

Typhoid fever.

That left just me, Captain.

Just me.

There can't be much
love for a person alone.

Hey! The horse!

Please let me go.

I only tried to borrow
your horse because they're

going to kill me. Who's going to kill you?

They're coming to get me.

Please let me go because
they're going to hang me.

All right, Joshua. Get him in the bushes
till we find out what this is all about.

Captain Turner. Hello, Sheriff. Mr.

Carley said you'd be coming
upstream on the Enterprise today.

I got some bad news for you. Yeah?
We just came from Mullins Landing.

The place is burned to the ground.

Both the Mullins boys are dead.

Arrows in their backs.

You hear that, man?

That's that Wichita. We're looking
for him now. He's about 20, named Rico.

If you see him, be careful.

He's dangerous. Thanks, Sheriff. If I
run across him, I'll hold him for you.

See you in town.

Right.

Looks like he might be the one,
Captain. We don't know for sure.

But from the mood those men were in,

I don't think they'd have
even bothered to ask him.

Were you at Mullen's landing?

No kill.

No burnt houses.

Joshua, you stay here with Terry
and see if you can get him to talk.

I'm going to take Miss Holly into town.
If I'm not back by midnight, come on in.

Aye, sir.

Looks like you're getting ready for a
siege, Mr. Carley. Well, I am, Captain Turner.

Them Wichita's have burned out seven
farms in the last month. If you ask me,

they're going to get up nerve enough
to attack this town sooner or later.

And I imagine you're anxious to
get those beaver belts to market.

Captain Holden said he had a contract
with you to have them on the landing.

Well, he's just going to have to wait.

I'm not going to risk
sending those pelts down the

river trail with the Indian situation
like it is. I got too much invested.

I'm pulling out tomorrow night at the
latest to meet Captain Holden upstream.

So I suggest you have those pelts at the
landing unless you want to go to court.

Well, you wouldn't be
threatening me, would you? No.

I'm a businessman.

I live up to my contracts, and I
expect other people to live up to theirs.

I'll be at the hotel. You think about it.

Holly, it's wonderful to see you.

You're wearing your
hair just like mother did.

Julie, this is Captain Turner
that I've been telling you about.

How do you do?

Thank you, Captain, for
bringing Holly to see me.

Only, you must take
her right back with you.

She mustn't stay here.

Don't you think that's
for Holly to decide?

Julie, I... I came to find
out what's been troubling you.

Troubling me?

Yes. You used to write so
much about your husband,

and now you don't even mention him.

Julie, that could mean
trouble and unhappiness.

You're just letting your
imagination run away with you.

You and your husband are in some kind
of... Holly, I don't want to talk about him.

That's our own business.

Julie, my dear. I hope I
haven't kept you waiting.

Captain Turner, this is
my husband, Albert Scott.

Glad to know you, Mr. Scott.

How do you do, Captain?

This is little sister Holly.

Almost as pretty as my Julie.

Welcome, and I hope you can
stay with her a long time.

So Julie said yes.

Would you believe it?
We've never had a crossword

in five years. Tell me
something, Mr. Scott.

How long have you been
a traveling merchant?

I don't mind being called for what I am.

Just a humble tin peddler bringing
utensils to the women of the frontier.

Seems to me you take quite a risk
traveling around with the Wichita's on the loose.

Well, Captain, my only worry is
my little wife, but she's brave.

Well, shall we have some dessert?

More coffee, maybe?

No, thank you. It was a
lovely dinner, Mr. Scott.

None for me, thank you.

Well, then, ladies, I suggest we get
underway. It's a short trip to the cabin.

Maybe Holly should stay here at the
hotel. She'd be more comfortable.

Oh, nonsense.

We've plenty of room.

We couldn't let Holly stay in town.

Maybe you'd like to join us
for the evening, Captain.

Please do.

Thank you, I will, Mr. Scott,
after I attend to some business.

Oh, that's fine.

We live on the Ohio Road,
house with the white door.

It's my treat, Captain.

That's quite an outfit you've
got. Well, they can see me coming.

And they can hear me coming.

You go on. I'll join you after
a while. All right, Captain.

You won't be long, will you?

No. You go with them.

See if you can find out
what she's afraid of.

Can you see it too?

She's scared real bad.

The rest of you stay back.

No one stay back by the door.

We ought to beat it out of him.

Go on home, Mr. Carley.

You know as well as I do, he
won't say a word till he gets ready.

The sooner you hang that
Indian, the better for all of us.

I wonder where you and the girl went. Why
didn't you tell us you had the Indian boy?

You heard what Mr. Carley just said.

To jail you all for aiding
and abetting a fugitive.

But I guess it's like your man said.

You really thought there was
going to be a lynching party.

All right, you can go.
Go on, get out of here,

all of you. Go on. Wait for me outside.

What do you intend to do with him?

Make him tell us where the
raiding party is camped.

Then we'll clean up on
him, and that'll be the

end of it, once and
for all. The end of it?

I don't think so.

Once you attack the Wichita's,
you'll have the Pony, Picks,

and the Comanches to deal with.

The Wichita's have killed and robbed 20
of our settlers, Captain, one by one.

I'll have to bury some of them myself.

May I talk with Rico? If I were
you, Captain, I'd stay out of this.

You can talk to him.

I stuck my neck out for you.

Now I want some straight answers.

I do nothing bad. Everybody
around here thinks you did.

None of the people was scalped.

None of the horses was taken.

That's all a Wichita goes
after. That's what I thought.

You believe me?

I used to know a
Wichita scout in the army.

He was quite like you.

But you must have done something
to turn these people against you.

When I was a little boy,
I am captured in a fight.

A Mexican family raised me.

So all my life I've been around here.

Were you ever in any trouble?

Sometimes.

I steal a little.

Oh, you steal, huh?

Only the things I need.

Like from the team paddler.

I steal a knife, and he has me arrested.

Him, a rich man, he has me arrested.

Just because a man has a lot of
pots and pans doesn't make him rich.

I look into his money box.

He has $5,000 in there.

Well, it may seem like
$5,000, but... It was $5,000.

I count.

And I think maybe to take some.

But I am honest.

I only steal things.

Where would he get money like that?

Maybe he sells very many pots and pans.

Not that many.

Good afternoon.

Are they going to hang me
just because I steal a little?

None of I can help it.

You heard what he said? Yeah.

And when he says he
steals, he ain't lying.

He's been here too often.

Remember what I said,
Captain. Stay out of it.

What did you get out of Rico?

It's the first Indian I
couldn't even attempt to talk.

All he'd say was, no kill, no burn houses.

I want you two to stay here
and keep an eye on the jail.

I don't think they'll attempt to
lynch the boy until after he talks,

but if they make a move, do
what you can to help him, hmm?

Where are you going?

To find out how a tin
peddler gets rich in this country.

What do you want?

I'm looking for Albert Scott.
Is this his home? No, it's not.

Well, I was told it was on
this road, I'm a friend of his,

and it seemed to be lost.
Can you tell me where it is?

Captain Turner, you know.

Oh, you'll have to excuse this.

Mrs. Harkins, I live here alone.

With all those Indian attacks, I have to
be careful. I understand. The Scott home.

Ride up that road, and then follow the
one to the right. You'll get there by dark.

Thank you very much.

Oh, Captain, if you see
Mr. Scott, he was here

this morning, but I had
a visitor, and he left.

He was going to stop by tonight
to bring the things I ordered,

but you tell him
tomorrow morning will be fine.

I'll tell him. Good afternoon.

Goodbye.

I thought she'd never get here. Mr.

Scott went out to make some
deliveries and Julie's been crying ever since.

She won't even talk to me.

Won't you please try and talk to her?

You know, Mrs. Scott, I
can't think of a single

problem that was ever solved by crying.

There's nothing you can do.
There's nothing anyone can do.

How do you know if you won't let
them try? Do you have any coffee?

You could use a cup.

Now suppose you start at the beginning
and tell me just what the trouble is.

You've got to tell
someone sooner or later.

You seem to be afraid of something.

I'm not afraid for myself.

It's my husband I'm afraid for.

Scott.

I married him out of rebellion.

Our family were very strict.

Albert was a traveling drummer.

We went north.

I fell in love with him
after we were married.

Strange, strange way for things to happen.

Fall in love with
someone after you're married.

I don't think it's so strange.

Albert got in trouble last year.

They couldn't prove anything
against him, but we had to leave.

What kind of trouble?

Business, I guess.

He didn't like to talk about it.

He's a restless man. We...

Stay a place a month or two,
and then suddenly we'd move on.

He likes money. I have a
feeling there's awful trouble coming.

Is that why you want me to
take Holly back home? Oh, yes.

Yes.

If he likes money so much, why
does he sell his things so cheaply?

Well... Well...

What about that?

How can he afford to?

He does all right.

He's a good salesman.

Tell me something.

Did you ever see your
husband with $5,000? How...

How do you know these things about him?

I was just remembering something I heard.

Were there ever any
survivors from the Wichita raids?

Those other places you
lived, were there similar raids?

You better get her things packed.

I'll drive you both to
town as soon as I get back.

But why?

You can't stay here.

Where are you going?

Just pack your things. I'll be back soon.

Good evening, Mrs. Harkins.

Good evening, Mr. Scott.

Oh, you didn't get my message.

Message? No, what message?

Oh, a friend of yours
stopped by and I told him

you needn't trouble bringing them tonight.

Tomorrow morning would be fine.

There's no trouble at all.

Won't you come in? Thank you.

Oh, you didn't bring your wagon.

A horseback.

Special delivery.

How nice.

Oh, what lovely items. How much are they?

Well, for you, 50 cents.

I don't see how you sell
things so inexpensive.

I make my profits other ways.

Well, it's a blessing for a woman
like me because of my small income.

I couldn't afford half of the
new items if it wasn't for you.

Thank you.

Let's try the new kettle.
Would you like a cup of tea?

That's a nice idea. I
would have said you were poor.

Like I said, Mrs. Harkins.

I have to make my profit someplace.

But that's my money!

Sit down.

Sit down, Mrs. Harkins.

Never mind the tea.

I'll see myself out.

Good night, Mrs. Harkins.

That's my money!

I think about it, and yeah,

He said he'd be back early.

The captain was always
on time on the boat.

Maybe he got lost. The
roads has changed to him.

I don't think I should go
with you. Now, Julie, you must.

The captain must have had a very good
reason for wanting us to go. It's safer.

Albert will never forgive me for
running out of here on a dangerous say-so.

Julie, dear, I'm back. I was worried
about you, with the Indians around and all.

Two suitcases.

Who's going away?

Captain thought we'd be safer in
town. I want Holly to be out of danger.

Of course, of course. I
should have figured that myself.

Where is he, your captain?

We're waiting for him now.

Better still, I'll drive you
both into town on my way to Texas.

Texas?

Yes, dear.

I think we should wait here.

Holly, get your wrap. It's chilly outside.

Get your wrap, Holly.

Do as he says.

You really will take us
to the hotel, won't you?

Why, of course, Julie.

Why shouldn't I? What's
got into you? Nothing.

Nothing I just asked.

He was around here asking questions about
me, huh? What did you tell him? Nothing.

What is there to tell?

Well...

Here we are. All ready? Let's be off.

Well, the meeting's still in
progress. The whole town must be in there.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Take it
easy, mister. You can't get up.

You're lucky you're alive.

Jail.

How did I get here?

Ed Edwards here brought you in.

Yes, sir, it sure was lucky.

Shorty Johnson rode out there to the
flat to tell me about that meeting.

If I hadn't been so anxious
to get me some Wichita's,

you'd likely still be laying out yonder.
You know, they killed that poor woman.

It was Wichita's.

The arrow that hit me.

It was fired by Alfred Scott. Scott?

Yeah, I got a shot. No, no, no.
You're not going anywhere now.

You should be in bed at
least a week. You lost

a lot of blood. I left two men in town.

Where are they? In a hotel at
that meeting. What meeting?

The town's going...

They're a plumb, only no good bunch.

No, you'll be starting an
Indian war for nothing.

Scott's the man you
want. No, no, no, no. You're

not doing that wound
any good. Now, lie still.

Can't you believe me? You're blaming
an Indian for a white man's crimes.

Did you see any Indians last night?

Did I see any?

Why, I must have seen a dozen of
them, but I didn't see no white man.

Shot arrows at me,
they did. Wichita arrows.

But I rode in amongst them
and went to blazing the way at

them with old Betsy and
slicing at them with my knife.

And it didn't take them Indians long to
figure out they'd overmatched the self.

Why, I'd scarcely got
going when they picks up

their dead mooted and
high tails out of there.

You must have been
drunk. There were no Indians.

Scott killed that woman, set fire to
her house, and then he tried to kill me.

And you saw him do all
that? It had to be him.

I swear I saw him standing
right over me, ready to fire again,

just before I passed out.

Here.

I winged that fella.
He's a witchy tall, right?

I saw his outline real plain
by gully when he took off.

It's quite a liar, but this time I
think he's telling us the truth. I sure am.

I've been delegated by the
committee to come over here and

find out if you're going to
give up Rico without a fight.

Do you know how I feel
about that, Carly? Rico?

This is your last chance to tell
us where the Wichita's are hiding.

He's got a right to
tell his story in court.

Give him a fair trial.

There ain't going to be any trial.

We're going to fight fire with fire.

No.

Get Scott first. Scott has left town.

I saw him driving down the Blue Hill Road
earlier this morning with his women folks.

He knows.

He knows now that she gets the truth.

You're going to give us Regal or not?

He's my prisoner, Carly.

You don't get him from me.

I'll be back.

Me too.

Sheriff, the whole town is against you.

You can't hold them off by yourself.

Why don't you go over to the hotel and
stop them now? They're my neighbors, Captain.

Men I've worked with
ever since I came here.

Many of them lost relatives in
those night raids. As their friend,

I can't stop them from talking.

Find Scott and I'll give you proof.

There's a small fortune in that
wagon of his. Scott's not a killer.

Hey!

Put me long before that mob is
over here to take your prisoner.

I'm glad to see you up and around.

Are we gonna help the sheriff?

Not against that money.

Take his gun, Josh.

Terry, get the keys and let Enrico
loose. Yes, sir. Sheriff, into the cell.

We'll track you down, Captain. You
know that. I'll bring the boy back.

He knows this country. He
can help me find Scott.

I'm sure we can clear him.

Josh, my hunch about Scott was right.
He's running because he knows I'm alive.

We're going after him.

You go back to the boat and
get the steamer. Right, sir.

Sorry to do this, Captain.

You have been my friend.

Senor Scott is not foolish
enough to go into Wichita country.

He turned off the old military road.

It's not use no more. Do not try to
follow me, because I hate to kill you.

Here they come, Captain.
Carly's bringing them from the hotel.

Let's get out of here.

All right, where is he?

Mr. Crowley, I want to talk to you
about taking the law into your own hands.

Where is he?

Got your horses outside?
Well, come on. For once,

you're going to do something useful.

Oh, no.

Look at the way that right
front wheel is tracking, Terry.

They're losing it.

We got a pretty good chance of
catching them. Yeah, let's go.

Captain Turner. Drop the gun, Captain.

You feeling poorly, Captain?

It's too bad.

But my wagon needs fixing.

Where are the women? Sweet
Miss Holly and my dear wife.

They're dead, Captain.

Dead.

Move.

Now you boys put that wheel on. I
gotta get me across Red River before dark.

What good will it do to help him?

A man can die easy, or
he can go real hard.

Now you take your pick.

Get the wheel, Terry.

The sheriff knows you killed Mrs.
Harkins and all the rest of those people.

I mean, he was told,
but he don't believe it.

You haven't got a chance this time, Scott.

You get to work.

I'll try and jump in.

Look at his eyes. He's mad.

You haven't got a chance.

We gotta get him between us, but he's too
smart for that. You cut out that talking!

Scheming to get me
ain't gonna do you no good.

All right, put the wheel
on. I can hold it. Yes, sir.

All right, Captain, you can let her down.

We're going to need some
tools to keep this thing on.

Julie, bring out the toolbox.

Then she's not dead.
She's dead, but not yet.

I told them I'd blow your heads
off if they opened their mouths.

Give him the toolbox.

It's been awful. He's
been leaving like a madman.

He's hurt.

Albert, please, I'll do anything.

I'll go with you. Only
let Holly and these men go.

I don't need you no more.

I don't need them either.

Albert, please.

Don't plead with him, Mrs.
Scott. It won't do any good.

I wonder if he'll look us in
the face when he shoots us.

He never did before. You shut up!

Gets into a house with his tin goods,
finds out where the money's hidden,

and then comes back later to kill and rob.

You guessed that, huh?

And I finally guessed it.

It took a long time for me to believe it.

The Wichita arrows fooled them.

Whole towns looking for Indians.

Worked before.

It'll work again in Texas.

Now hitch up the team.

Come here. Load this.

Another one's joined the group.

But he's got a white flag.

They've had enough.

It's Rico.

What is it, Rico?

I come for Senor Scott.

He's the only man we want.

Bad chance. Clear out! My people.

They know Señor Scott
brings much trouble to them.

They will punish him. You
clear out or I'll kill you.

Unless the Señor comes to us, by
the time I go back to my people,

we will charge again. But these women
aren't to blame for what Scott did.

For you, Señor, I am sorry.

I tell my people, you are not an enemy.

I tell them you saved my life.

But they are angry.

And we'll come again for
Señor Scott. You let him come!

I'm ready for any red skin alive!

It won't do you any good, Scott.

Julie didn't load the gun.

Mrs. Scott? Yes, she needs a
doctor. Where's her husband?

The Indians took him. It'll pay for this.

Come on, Sheriff.
Let's get after him. Now,

you wait a minute and take
time to look in that wagon.

There's over $5,000 in there,

and a lot of the things that
Scott took from the houses he burned.

You'll also find a
supply of Wichita arrows.

Come on, Miss Scott, we'll try
to make you more comfortable.

Here we go. Hook up the
horses, Terry. Yes, sir.

Miss Harley, take her.
Come on, Miss Harley.

Here we are.

Easy, easy.

These are Wichita's, all right.

I think you can
identify some of those things,

Sheriff. Sure. These
belong to Mrs. Grundy.

She was wearing them the
night before she was killed.

And this watch.

That belonged to George Shakeley.

Well, Collie, is that proof enough?

I'm sorry, Captain. I'm wrong.

Not with sharps like him on the river.

Oh, it's you! Who's winning?

Well, he's taken me for 57 cents.

Well, enjoy yourselves, boys.

Willow Landing is just around the bend,

and Captain Holden will
be waiting on the dock.

It'll be nice to see him again.

You will.

Get hold of the dock!
