00:01:13Hide, quickly.
00:01:14Be careful.
00:01:16I have been careful for too long.
00:01:18♪♪
00:01:29They come.
00:01:31This time, let us fight.
00:01:35Two Eagles, listen.
00:01:38Let us pay them with our rifles.
00:01:41No.
00:01:42They will come.

00:03:21♪♪
00:03:31You've been at those reports all afternoon.
00:03:34Keep the people in Washington happy.
00:03:38You must write some fine ones.
00:03:40I don't have time to write it all down.
00:03:42I think it's peaceful.
00:03:43But I never see you relaxed, Jim.
00:03:45You never have any fun.
00:03:46You go to bed too early to know whether I do or don't.
00:03:50If you were having any fun, you wouldn't know what time I went to bed.
00:04:11Yes, may I help you?
00:04:14The marshal.
00:04:17Uh, well, he's through that door.
00:04:22Willie?
00:04:23Well, what happened to you?
00:04:24Purcell and his men.
00:04:26They come again.
00:04:27I fight back and they...
00:04:28No, no, I'll take you to the doc.
00:04:29No, doctor.
00:04:31I need help.
00:04:32I'm going to the doctor.
00:04:33You go to bed too early.
00:04:36I'll see what I can do.
00:04:39You want to go to the doctor.
00:04:40I'll see what I can do.
00:04:41I'm going to the doctor.
00:04:43I'll see what I can do.
00:04:44I'm going to the doctor.
00:04:45I'm going to the doctor.
00:04:48No doctor. I need help.
00:04:51You. We fight back together.
00:04:54Willie, I have no authority in the outlet.
00:04:57You are law. Purcell and his men are against law.
00:05:00So they are against you.
00:05:02I'm the law here in Cimarron. In the whole strip.
00:05:05But in the outlet, I'm just a man named Crown.
00:05:08Then be a man. Come. Help.
00:05:13I'll fix it up so that you can talk to Major Covington.
00:05:16No. Not the army.
00:05:18A cavalry kicked out Purcell mistreating Indian prisoners.
00:05:21Now Major Covington would be glad to hear what you have to say.
00:05:24We are half people today because of the army.
00:05:26They're old hates and they do not die.
00:05:29We can only take help from you.
00:05:31Willie, try to understand.
00:05:33I have no jurisdiction in the outlet.
00:05:36Now jurisdiction is like a line.
00:05:39I'm on one side of it. Purcell is on the other.
00:05:41I can't cross over.
00:05:43Now if Purcell breaks the law on my side,
00:05:45then I can do something about it.
00:05:48You speak words, Marshal.
00:05:51Are they from the head or the heart?
00:05:55Do you know where Purcell's hideout is?
00:05:57I can point the way.
00:05:59All right, then.
00:06:00You go over to the dock and get patched up.
00:06:02And I'll take you back to your village.
00:06:04Is that all?
00:06:06I'll talk to Purcell. That's all I can promise.
00:06:10It is the beginning.
00:06:15Let's go.
00:06:46Marshal Purcell.
00:06:51Marshal Crown.
00:07:11Purcell.
00:07:14Purcell.
00:07:18Well, look who's off the reservation.
00:07:20What do you know?
00:07:22You look kind of chewed up, Injun.
00:07:24You should be back in a teepee licking your wounds.
00:07:26You are the animals.
00:07:28Well, this one's got a tongue.
00:07:30He talks back.
00:07:31Yeah.
00:07:33Maybe we should have cut it out and made stripped jerky out of it.
00:07:36Next time you come to our village,
00:07:38we will cut out your hearts.
00:07:40You just keep on walking,
00:07:42and I'll try to forget you said that.
00:07:46Purcell.
00:08:10Purcell.
00:08:21Willie.
00:08:24Who did it?
00:08:26Purcell.
00:08:30Marshal.
00:08:32Your law.
00:08:34There is something you can do.
00:08:37Don't talk anymore, Willie.
00:08:40Don't talk anymore, Willie.
00:09:10Don't talk anymore, Willie.
00:09:40Don't talk anymore, Willie.
00:09:42Don't talk anymore, Willie.
00:10:07Jim.
00:10:09I wonder where our marshal is.
00:10:12Here, let me take those.
00:10:14Here.
00:10:16What's on the stove, dulcet girl?
00:10:18Stew.
00:10:19Uh, did you see Jim?
00:10:21No. I thought he'd be here.
00:10:23I have the provost marshal's report from Fort Sill.
00:10:25No, I mean in the outlet.
00:10:27Do you know a man named Purcell?
00:10:30Logan Purcell?
00:10:32Do we?
00:10:34He's a tough customer.
00:10:35Aye, and that bunch of ruffians he runs with.
00:10:37Very unpleasant indeed.
00:10:39Outlaws?
00:10:40Sort of like cornfield raiders.
00:10:42But smaller and dirtier.
00:10:44For years, they've been hitting every isolated Indian village in the outlet,
00:10:47leeching off their food and hides.
00:10:50And now their blood.
00:10:51What?
00:10:53Willie's snake.
00:10:55Purcell killed him.
00:10:58Willie's dead?
00:11:01He was a strong-minded lad.
00:11:04I remember the marshal had to toss him in a cell
00:11:06to keep him from taking on a whole pack of drunken Indian-baiting cowboys.
00:11:11And I'm not too sure, left to his own devices, he wouldn't have licked him.
00:11:17Did Jim go after Purcell?
00:11:19I don't know.
00:11:21He said he was taking Willie's snake back to his people.
00:11:36Come on, let's go.
00:12:07Where's your chief?
00:12:24Who speaks for the village?
00:12:26There is no chief.
00:12:28I am the elder, called Two Eagles.
00:12:32Willie's snake?
00:12:34Yeah.
00:12:37I'm looking for the man who killed Willie's snake.
00:12:40He's called Purcell.
00:12:42Are you one of us?
00:12:44Which way does Purcell and his men usually come from?
00:12:48Tell me.
00:12:50Which way?
00:13:01This way.
00:13:31This way.
00:14:02Seems to me like Purcell could have taken us into town, too.
00:14:05You tell him that.
00:14:07Hell, I will.
00:14:08Yeah?
00:14:09About time one of you take over lookout.
00:14:11I'll go.
00:14:13Ain't nothing moon enough out there to see by.
00:14:15Better put an ear to the ground.
00:14:18Sure is cold.
00:14:32Come on.
00:14:51Hey, Purcell?
00:14:54Anything?
00:14:56I'm not sure.
00:15:01Your errand's got us.
00:15:31Horses coming.
00:15:57How many is who?
00:15:58It's about time.
00:15:59Let's make sure it's them.
00:16:09That's them all right.
00:16:17How'd it go?
00:16:19Where are them ponies? You find a cell phone?
00:16:21We'll deliver in three days.
00:16:24Purcell, I'd sure like to get my hands on some cash.
00:16:27I haven't been to town in over a month.
00:16:29It's gonna be a lot longer before you get there. We're staying clear of Cimarron for a while.
00:16:33Trouble?
00:16:34That engine was in town.
00:16:36The one I kicked in the face.
00:16:38What about him?
00:16:40We shot him.
00:16:42What for?
00:16:43Just cause he has an engine?
00:16:44You know a better reason?
00:16:46Anyone see ya?
00:16:48Probably.
00:16:49Relax.
00:16:50We were on our way out of town before that engine hit the ground.
00:16:53Ah, you know you didn't get the marshal on your trail.
00:16:55We didn't know him.
00:16:56Besides, Crown doesn't do business this side of the river.
00:17:00We're not gonna stay here overnight, are we?
00:17:03I've done enough riding for one day.
00:17:09Don't move, Purcell.
00:17:14Or anybody else.
00:17:22Kind of far out of your territory, aren't you, Crown?
00:17:25So are you this afternoon.
00:17:28All right, now.
00:17:30Everybody undo your hardware.
00:17:32Slow and easy.
00:17:49Hold it right there.
00:17:56Shit.
00:18:05Sherman.
00:18:06Keep firing.
00:18:07Half-mile box him in.
00:18:25Come on.
00:18:55Come on.
00:19:25Come on.
00:19:56Damn.
00:20:18Crown's been hit. He's heading out.
00:20:26Come on.
00:20:41Purcell! He's getting away!
00:20:55Come on.
00:21:25Shit.
00:21:55Shit.
00:22:25Shit.
00:22:56Didn't much think you'd make it.
00:22:59I'm not sure I did.
00:23:06Do you mind telling me where I am?
00:23:09You're here.
00:23:12Well, that's a lot of help.
00:23:14That's where you are.
00:23:18How'd I get here?
00:23:25Who brought me here?
00:23:27Me.
00:23:30You?
00:23:37I don't think I'm hearing too well.
00:23:45Satisfied?
00:23:48I guess I have to be.
00:23:50Here, drink this.
00:23:56Thanks.
00:24:01Do you usually take in the strays like this?
00:24:05No.
00:24:09My name's Jim Crown.
00:24:15You don't talk very much, do you?
00:24:26What's your name?
00:24:28Ella.
00:24:30Ella.
00:24:32Ella.
00:24:44Thank you, Ella.
00:24:46It's all right.
00:24:55It's all right.
00:25:16Why should Brown around here?
00:25:18Not see him.
00:25:21Lawman not here.
00:25:23We searched them teepees inside and out.
00:25:25Ain't no sign of him.
00:25:27He either cashed in or got away.
00:25:29Well, if he hadn't cashed in, he hadn't gotten away.
00:25:33If he comes around, we better know about it.
00:25:35Or we'll grind you up like corn.
00:25:41What you gonna do now?
00:25:43Back to the stockade. We need fresh horses.
00:25:50Let's go.
00:26:20Let's go.
00:26:50Let's go.
00:27:20Let's go.
00:27:50Let's go.
00:28:21You're trying to prove it don't take much brains to be a marshal?
00:28:25I've been here too long.
00:28:27Well, you're not going nowhere now.
00:28:29So I'm finding out.
00:28:31As soon as you get back to bed.
00:28:33Funny.
00:28:35You don't act much like a girl.
00:28:37Well, I am.
00:28:39I suppose so.
00:28:41But most girls are curious to know about things.
00:28:44You haven't even asked how I got shot.
00:28:47Bullet hole's a bullet hole. I seen plenty of them before.
00:28:51Well, maybe you're not nosy because you got an idea how I did get in.
00:28:56Maybe I just figure it's none of my business.
00:29:00Well, a bushwhacker did it.
00:29:02By the name of Purcell.
00:29:07There's not many in the outlet that would take care of a wounded lawman.
00:29:11I'd do the same for a sick jackrabbit.
00:29:13And when he got well, why you chop him up for a stew?
00:29:17Gotta eat.
00:29:19I reckon you can make it back to bed now.
00:29:31Seems like company.
00:29:33Oh, I gotta hide you. Come on.
00:29:34Where's my gun?
00:29:35There's no time.
00:29:36It's Purcell, isn't it?
00:29:38What are you doing? Cooking up some jackrabbit stew?
00:29:40I'm trying to hide you.
00:29:41Why?
00:29:42You want me to help you or not?
00:29:54Get under the hay.
00:29:55Maybe I'm just finding the sort of place to hide.
00:30:12Come on.
00:30:36Smell that.
00:30:38It's venison. I killed a deer.
00:30:40That girl's good with a gun and cooks till both.
00:30:42Then let her tend to the cooking.
00:30:44Sit down.
00:30:51Give me a drink.
00:30:56You staying long?
00:30:57Why?
00:30:58Do I lay out something to eat or not?
00:31:01Well, we'll be here long enough for that.
00:31:03Get the boots.
00:31:11Nothing like it for warming a man's belly.
00:31:14Well, you could say thank you.
00:31:22Let her be.
00:31:25It's all right.
00:31:35Whoa.
00:31:36Whoa.
00:31:38You start drinking like that, boy, you won't live long enough to get your first shave.
00:31:41No woman's worth it, kid.
00:31:47Anybody care about them ponies outside better get up and lend a hand.
00:31:50What's wrong with them?
00:31:52The fence rails down.
00:31:53Couple of them done already got loose.
00:31:58Well, what are you waiting on? Move.
00:32:00Move.
00:32:04We the only ones that do any work around here?
00:32:11We ain't going nowhere.
00:32:13Just out there on the other side of the fence.
00:32:16We can round them up as you know.
00:32:19Don't bother setting the place for Adam.
00:32:23What happened to him?
00:32:25He's dead.
00:32:27Leaned into a marshal's bullet.
00:32:31But I put a slug in Crown.
00:32:33He's out there someplace hurting.
00:32:38When I run into him, I'm going to get him.
00:32:41I'm going to get him.
00:32:43I'm going to get him.
00:32:45I'm going to get him.
00:32:47When I run into him again, Ab's going to have some company.
00:32:57You had a feeling for Ab?
00:33:02Young girl, alone all the time, can't help but get ideas about a man.
00:33:07Maybe Hall.
00:33:09He's got ideas about you.
00:33:10He's just a kid.
00:33:11He's old enough.
00:33:13You stay away from him. All of them.
00:33:17You're mine.
00:33:23I'm talking to you.
00:33:27I hear you.
00:33:47I've got a present for you.
00:33:50And a saddle bag.
00:33:54Well, get in.
00:34:17Marshal, it's all right.
00:34:19They'll be leaving soon.
00:34:28Something wrong?
00:34:33Hey.
00:34:35It looks like you're in a bad mood.
00:34:38I'm not in a bad mood.
00:34:40I'm not in a bad mood.
00:34:42I'm not in a bad mood.
00:34:44I'm not in a bad mood.
00:34:46You look like blood.
00:34:48I was just going to feed the horses.
00:34:51That is blood.
00:34:53Well, I told you I killed a deer.
00:34:55Yeah.
00:34:56So you did.
00:35:01What's going on?
00:35:02Take a look at this.
00:35:04He don't even know deer blood when he sees it.
00:35:07I say she's been acting strange.
00:35:09Looks like you'd know by now to keep away from her.
00:35:12I wasn't trying anything.
00:35:14I was just checking up on her.
00:35:16Any checking to do, I'll do it.
00:35:18Now get something to eat. We're leaving in an hour.
00:36:08All right.
00:36:39You must think I'm pretty dumb to hide your gun in there.
00:36:43Well, I've got to clear out and you go in there.
00:36:46You let on a horse and they'll track him blood from here to Cimarron.
00:36:50Where are they?
00:36:52They went to sell the ponies.
00:36:54Where?
00:36:56They work out of the Wichita's.
00:37:01When will they be back?
00:37:04I don't know. As soon as they're done.
00:37:06You seem to be on to their habit.
00:37:10I've been with them a while.
00:37:15They find me useful.
00:37:17You like being used?
00:37:23What do you mean?
00:37:25Cleaning up for them, cooking, taking care of those tables.
00:37:28What else do you do for them?
00:37:31I do what I have to do.
00:37:33Why?
00:37:34I owe them something.
00:37:36What do you owe them?
00:37:38I owe them who I am.
00:37:42You're Purcell's squad. That's who you're on.
00:37:45I'm no Indian.
00:37:50He stole you out of a teepee.
00:37:52Just like he steals everything else.
00:37:55No, he didn't steal me.
00:37:57He rescued me.
00:38:00It was a tough job.
00:38:02It was a time I wasn't with the Indians.
00:38:06But I don't remember.
00:38:09There was a time I know that, though.
00:38:14Purcell gives me things.
00:38:20Purcell even gave me my name.
00:38:23You know, when he found me, I didn't even have a name.
00:38:27See, I was too young and I didn't remember.
00:38:29He said, hey, look at that kid.
00:38:31She doesn't even know what the hell her name is.
00:38:36And that's me. I'm Heller.
00:38:40Heller.
00:38:42Come to Cimarron with me.
00:38:45I wouldn't fit in there.
00:38:47People don't want nothing to do with anybody who's been with the Indians.
00:38:51Purcell tell you that?
00:38:53They all told me that.
00:38:56You haven't told me any different.
00:38:57When Purcell comes back, he's gonna kill you.
00:39:00For what you've been doing for me.
00:39:02You gonna tell him?
00:39:04I don't have to.
00:39:06If I stay here much longer, he'll be able to work it out himself.
00:39:09We'll see.
00:39:11You're staying right here.
00:39:14I don't see any bars.
00:39:16They're there.
00:39:28Positively the last.
00:39:32Eggs, yuck.
00:39:36Shouldn't Jim be back?
00:39:39It's all day out and all day back, as long as he has to move with Willie.
00:39:45I'll be back.
00:39:47I'll be back.
00:39:49I'll be back.
00:39:52I'll be back.
00:39:54I'll be back.
00:39:55I'll be back.
00:40:00In the box, lass?
00:40:02Yes, please, and a couple in the stove.
00:40:04If you don't mind my saying,
00:40:06it's beneath the dignity of a peace officer to fetch and carry fuel.
00:40:10Fetch and carry, that's a patrician occupation compared to this.
00:40:13I know, I know, I'm just waiting until I get help.
00:40:16Is Jim back?
00:40:18What is this?
00:40:20Oh, it's goulash, I mean stew.
00:40:22Well, it tastes like bad haggis.
00:40:25It kind of is.
00:40:27Look, I'll rephrase my question.
00:40:30It's been two days since Jim went into the outlet.
00:40:33Now, I've been in Hardesty all day.
00:40:35Has anybody heard anything?
00:40:38No.
00:40:40Maybe I ought to go look for him first thing in the morning.
00:40:42No, that's my job.
00:40:44You stay here and keep an eye on things.
00:40:46I'll leave at dawn.
00:40:55Good-bye.
00:41:26Good-bye.
00:41:52Oh, it's you.
00:41:54Well, you shouldn't come up on a man like that.
00:41:56Bad for his heart.
00:41:58How's your leg?
00:42:00It's getting stronger, thanks to you.
00:42:03I'd have fixed you a hot bath.
00:42:05Nah, you've done enough for me already.
00:42:07Oh, I don't mind.
00:42:09Well, I do.
00:42:12Oh, here, I can wash this for you.
00:42:14No, I said you've done enough for me.
00:42:18Keller,
00:42:20I'm going to need it, so I want you to dig up my gun.
00:42:23Why?
00:42:26I'm going back to Cimarron tonight.
00:42:28You can't go back on that leg.
00:42:30I can make it.
00:42:35You all right?
00:42:39See, you're not strong enough.
00:42:45Well, you ain't.
00:42:50You all right?
00:43:02I'm going back to Cimarron.
00:43:04No.
00:43:06Now.
00:43:07No!
00:43:10I'm going right now.
00:43:20No!
00:43:33Harder, you missed a spot.
00:43:37Well, if I rub any harder, I'll rub through the window.
00:43:40Try your side.
00:43:50He's back!
00:43:54Did you see Jim?
00:43:55Did you find out anything?
00:43:56Not a single, solitary, helpful, comforting, blessed word.
00:44:00In that whole outlet.
00:44:01Nothing.
00:44:02Well, McGregor has been gone for five days.
00:44:04Well, you think I don't know that?
00:44:06But I'm telling you, the man simply disappeared.
00:44:13Find anything?
00:44:14Aye.
00:44:16Buffalo grass.
00:44:18Buffalo grass.
00:44:19And dust.
00:44:20McGregor!
00:44:21The Willow Spring Trail.
00:44:22Took that.
00:44:23Nothing.
00:44:24Beaver Creek.
00:44:25Onion Creek.
00:44:26McGregor, maybe he didn't.
00:44:27And North Fork.
00:44:28South Fork.
00:44:29No, McGregor, now listen.
00:44:30If he didn't go after Purcell, then there's nothing to worry about.
00:44:32Lass, what are you talking?
00:44:34Well, maybe he did take the Indian boy back to his people like he said he would.
00:44:37You'll see.
00:44:38Well, then, all right, I'm wrong.
00:44:39Something else.
00:44:40Maybe he went to the army.
00:44:41I've been to the army.
00:44:42I've been to the Indians.
00:44:43I've talked to Chief Two Eagles.
00:44:45Well, maybe something else.
00:44:46Maybe he went after Purcell.
00:44:48Well, you don't know that.
00:44:49I happen to know that because I know Jim.
00:44:57Oh, Lass.
00:44:59Face it.
00:45:00They've got him.
00:45:03I don't think so.
00:45:05It'd be too big a thing, taking Jim.
00:45:07They'd have had to crow about it.
00:45:08Especially Purcell.
00:45:09We'd have heard about it.
00:45:11Then where is he?
00:45:12I've scoured the outlet.
00:45:13One man.
00:45:14Look, if you think the people in this town, the prideful people in this town are going to help, forget it.
00:45:18Anyone who could help doesn't know one end of a gun from the other.
00:45:21I saw Miller down by the yard.
00:45:23The cattlemen.
00:45:25Yeah, I'll take Miller, Messner and Dutton.
00:45:26You take Crowell and Bramhall.
00:45:29It'll be dark in about a half an hour, so we'll meet here at first light with all the men they'll give us.
00:45:33They wouldn't give you the sweat off their ear.
00:45:37Well, let them tell you that.
00:45:41Find him.
00:45:42Before Purcell does, please.
00:45:48You heard the lad.
00:45:50It's done.
00:46:13All right, now, Hella, give me my gun belt.
00:46:22I've got to go back for help.
00:46:24I don't want you to leave.
00:46:27Don't be difficult.
00:46:29I saved your life. I made you well. You belong to me.
00:46:33I don't want you to leave.
00:46:35Don't be difficult.
00:46:37I saved your life. I made you well. You belong to me.
00:46:40Nobody belongs to each other. Not that way.
00:46:43Now, give me my gun belt, please.
00:47:01They're coming back.
00:47:10They're coming back.
00:47:28That lawman you were looking for was just here.
00:47:31Alone?
00:47:33He went up over that hill.
00:47:41Come on.
00:48:02Well, what are you waiting for?
00:48:04Come with me.
00:48:06No.
00:48:11Come on.
00:48:22I don't see him, but we can't be too far behind.
00:48:25My horse. She pulled up lean.
00:48:27Well, go back and get another one.
00:48:40Come on.
00:49:10Come on.
00:49:26Come on.
00:49:28I can't.
00:49:30You've got no choice. They know you lied to them.
00:49:41Crown, he's down at the shack.
00:49:44Here, get on.
00:50:10Come on.
00:50:41There's no chance of catching them now.
00:50:43There's only one place they could have gone.
00:50:48Go get her.
00:51:10Come on.
00:51:41It's getting so man's room is not his castle anymore.
00:51:45Particularly if the landlady has a key.
00:51:49Yeah.
00:51:51Well, I got to do something about that.
00:51:54I was just trying to let you sleep, but I see that my thoughtfulness is not appreciated.
00:51:58There's your breakfast.
00:52:00Well, thank you, Dulcie.
00:52:02I never drank coffee out of a tray before.
00:52:05Jim, you don't know how worried we were about you.
00:52:07We were out of our minds wondering what happened to you,
00:52:10and you almost get close to getting killed,
00:52:12and here you are up instead of sleeping, and...
00:52:14Dulcie, I've never known you to get emotional before over a couple of eggs.
00:52:20Well, I'm sorry, but we were worried about you.
00:52:23And I appreciate that.
00:52:27Has Heller up?
00:52:29She's getting dressed.
00:52:31I offered to lend her some clothes, but she refused.
00:52:33She's got a mind of her own.
00:52:35So I notice.
00:52:37From the way she looks, it's difficult to tell she's a girl.
00:52:40Not if you look close.
00:52:43I imagine you must be feeling rather grateful to her.
00:52:50Well, yeah, you could say that.
00:52:53Well, it's easy to tell that she's taken a liking to you.
00:52:57Well, what I mean to say is...
00:52:59Well, it's understandable, of course,
00:53:01the way you and she are being thrown together like that.
00:53:07Dulcie?
00:53:09Yes?
00:53:11If you want to know about Heller and me,
00:53:14why don't you come straight out and ask?
00:53:21Each of us has our own story.
00:53:24Eat your eggs before they get cold.
00:53:28I haven't got time.
00:53:30McGregor and Frances are waiting for me.
00:53:32We're going back into the opulent.
00:53:34But you just got back.
00:53:36You need time to rest, to recuperate.
00:53:38I'm going to do just that.
00:53:40As soon as I finish some unfinished business.
00:53:42Well, what about Heller?
00:53:45Well, I'd like for her to stay here
00:53:47until she sorts things out,
00:53:49knows what she wants to do from here on in.
00:53:50Is that all right with you?
00:53:52Of course, Jim.
00:53:59It seems to me there's something specially female
00:54:03buzzing around that brain of yours.
00:54:05No, just the usual female nonsense.
00:54:08Yeah, I bet there is.
00:54:21Ah, a strange girl, that one.
00:54:24Deep, wild.
00:54:26Yeah, but what a story this is going to make, Mac.
00:54:28Jim's going to have his hands full with her.
00:54:31Raised by the Indians, enslaved by the outlaws.
00:54:34And he doesn't even suspect it yet, I warrant.
00:54:37Risked her own life to shelter him
00:54:39and nursed him back to health.
00:54:41But it's plain to see.
00:54:43Shines out of her eyes every time she looks at him.
00:54:46And then discovery, flight,
00:54:47a dramatic escape.
00:54:49The girl's fallen in love with him.
00:54:51That means trouble.
00:54:53It's a perfect happy ending.
00:54:55Mac, sometimes I think you don't know
00:54:57what you're talking about.
00:54:59Happy ending indeed.
00:55:01Francis, you daft.
00:55:04Are you two getting ready
00:55:06or just cutting up touches?
00:55:08Just waiting on you, Jim.
00:55:10I wish you'd give it second thoughts, Jim.
00:55:12There's no harm in rounding up a posse.
00:55:14I don't think we have time.
00:55:15We're selling, getting wind of it
00:55:17and hightail for Wichita.
00:55:23Good morning, Heller.
00:55:27Well, come on in.
00:55:38How'd you sleep?
00:55:40Fine.
00:55:42Since I got used to the bed.
00:55:46Maybe we could talk sometime, Heller.
00:55:51See, I'm an independent journalist
00:55:54and I know we could sell your life story
00:55:56to most any magazine back east.
00:55:58Francis.
00:56:00Well, it'd make great reading, Jim.
00:56:02I was captured by the Indians.
00:56:04No.
00:56:07Well, what's the use of living
00:56:09with all this exciting material
00:56:11if I can't write about it?
00:56:13Oh, I have a better idea for you.
00:56:15Tell me about it, Francis.
00:56:17The life story of a bumbling,
00:56:19adulterated journalist living in the west.
00:56:21We'll meet you outside.
00:56:28Pay no mind with, Francis.
00:56:40Well, now, you listen here.
00:56:42You give yourself a chance.
00:56:43By the time I come back,
00:56:45everything's gonna be fine.
00:56:47You going after Purcell?
00:56:49Well, you knew I would.
00:56:51Take me with you. Don't leave me here.
00:56:54Dulcy's gonna look after you.
00:56:56I'm scared.
00:56:58There's nothing to be scared of.
00:57:00In a few hours, it's gonna be like you were born here.
00:57:02I have to be with you.
00:57:04You're gonna stay put.
00:57:06You understand, young lady?
00:57:08Now, you come with me.
00:57:10Dulcy!
00:57:14Dulcy?
00:57:21I'm taking off now,
00:57:23so you keep a good close eye on him.
00:57:25All right.
00:57:27I'll take you through town,
00:57:29and maybe we can do some shopping.
00:57:31Fine. I'll see you all when I get back.
00:57:33You better get back.
00:57:39Bye.
00:58:07You ever been in a town before?
00:58:09Well, Cimarron's not as big as, uh,
00:58:11Providence or Boston,
00:58:13but it's the biggest thing we have in the strip.
00:58:15Morning, Miss Cooper-Smith.
00:58:17Morning, Mr. Glass.
00:58:19This is, uh, Miss Heller.
00:58:21It's her first time in Cimarron.
00:58:23Glad to meet you, Miss Heller.
00:58:25I hope you enjoy your stay.
00:58:30I'm sorry.
00:58:32I don't know your last name.
00:58:34Oh, Heller. That's all I got.
00:58:40Good morning, Mrs. Donnard.
00:58:50Indian Squaw! Indian Squaw! Indian Squaw!
00:58:53Go away, you nasty little children.
00:58:55Now, go away!
00:58:57Indian Squaw!
00:58:59Nonsense.
00:59:01I'm not going anywhere.
00:59:03I'm not going anywhere.
00:59:05I'm not going anywhere.
00:59:07I'm not going anywhere.
00:59:09They're just stupid little children.
00:59:11Now, don't pay them any attention.
00:59:13Now, come on.
00:59:15Come on.
00:59:40Heller.
00:59:45I don't mean to offend you,
00:59:47but you need some new clothes.
00:59:52Well, not as dressy as this one,
00:59:54but perhaps inside they have something just as nice,
00:59:56but more practical. Come on.
01:00:00What's the matter?
01:00:02You pick it out.
01:00:04But, Heller, it's your dress.
01:00:06All right, well,
01:00:08I'll go inside and pick out a couple
01:00:10and bring them out to show you,
01:00:12but you make the decision.
01:00:14Now, just stay right there.
01:00:35Come on.
01:01:06You filth!
01:01:09After all I've done for you,
01:01:12I took you away from the Indians,
01:01:14gave you a place to live and food to eat.
01:01:17And did I ever once treat you less than a lady?
01:01:20Did I ever touch you?
01:01:22Or let the others?
01:01:24I don't know.
01:01:26I don't know.
01:01:28I don't know.
01:01:30I don't know.
01:01:32I don't know.
01:01:33Did I ever touch you?
01:01:35Or let the others?
01:01:37You lied to me
01:01:39and cheated with Crown.
01:01:41What did he ever do for you?
01:01:45Say something!
01:01:52Back to the cabin.
01:02:04Here we go.
01:02:09You want something of us again?
01:02:12I need your help.
01:02:14We have none to offer.
01:02:16Four men.
01:02:18And you'll never see Purcell again.
01:02:20We have found
01:02:22that to fight a white man,
01:02:24we suffer.
01:02:26And you?
01:02:28And you?
01:02:30And you?
01:02:31To fight a white man,
01:02:33we suffer.
01:02:35We want only to be left alone.
01:02:38Now's the time to fight.
01:02:40Or Purcell will keep coming back.
01:02:49It is better to face the known evil
01:02:52than the unknown.
01:02:54Two eagles.
01:02:56I am a squaw and should not speak.
01:02:58But I ask,
01:02:59are you all squaws too?
01:03:03Is there no manhood left among us?
01:03:10Are we empty people?
01:03:12Barren of pride?
01:03:25Is it buried with Willie's snake?
01:03:30I am old and weary.
01:03:33I cannot stray from my tipi.
01:03:36But,
01:03:38I am a man.
01:03:41I am a man.
01:03:43I am a man.
01:03:45I am a man.
01:03:47I am a man.
01:03:49I am a man.
01:03:51I am a man.
01:03:53I am a man.
01:03:55I am a man.
01:03:57I am a man.
01:03:59Those of you who wish,
01:04:02go with the marshal
01:04:05and walk in the footsteps
01:04:07of our ancestors.
01:04:30Very good.
01:04:32Very good.
01:04:33I see.
01:04:49Someone's down there all right.
01:04:52Can't tell how many.
01:04:54Passers,
01:04:55take the boys
01:04:56and spread yourself thin
01:04:58Come on.
01:05:03Mac, you keep me covered.
01:05:28♪
01:05:38♪
01:05:58♪
01:06:08Where's Purcell?
01:06:10He ain't come up in the church so soon yet.
01:06:12That's not a proper sort of answer, laddie.
01:06:15That's the only one you're gonna get.
01:06:18We'll wait.
01:06:20I'm on the other side.
01:06:21Now get your nose in those cards.
01:06:23No cheating.
01:06:28Purcell and two others up there.
01:06:29We've got them ringed in.
01:06:30Fine.
01:06:31Now let's take care of business.
01:06:33Be right back.
01:06:35Hey!
01:06:39Get up!
01:06:40Bring it in!
01:06:43Get up!
01:06:44♪
01:06:51♪
01:06:56♪
01:07:01♪
01:07:06♪
01:07:11♪
01:07:16♪
01:07:21♪
01:07:26♪
01:07:31♪
01:07:36Purcell, they're outnumbered.
01:07:40Boxed in.
01:07:42There's no way out.
01:07:47Purcell!
01:07:50Hold it, Crown.
01:07:53I'll make a deal with you.
