00:13 She'll be here in a moment.
00:15 Yes, ma'am.
00:16 [door closes]
00:17 Mr. Randall,
00:19 tell me why you wish to see Miss Cleary.
00:22 Yeah, I, uh,
00:24 got this letter in the mail yesterday.
00:28 [typing]
00:32 And you have no idea what it is she wishes to discuss?
00:35 No, ma'am.
00:37 But I felt the letter is that urgent.
00:39 I'll get a fast answer.
00:40 Particularly when it comes from a school for young ladies.
00:43 [typing]
00:49 Mr. Randall,
00:50 this is Dolly Cleary.
00:52 Dolly, this is Mr. Randall.
00:56 How do you do, sir?
00:57 I just knew you'd come.
00:59 Yeah, well, I got your letter.
01:02 Now then,
01:04 just what is it you want Mr. Randall to do for you, Dolly?
01:07 Find my mother and father.
01:10 [music]
01:26 [thunder]
01:27 [music]
01:44 [music]
01:53 Go outside for a few minutes, Dolly.
01:55 I want to talk to Mr. Randall.
01:56 Go on now.
01:58 I'll wait for you outside.
02:02 Sit down, Mr. Randall.
02:07 Yeah.
02:08 Cute little girl.
02:14 They all are.
02:15 She's just dressed in a little more hope.
02:17 Ma'am?
02:20 I should have known about the letter.
02:21 I'm sorry you had the long trip out here.
02:24 Oh, no trouble.
02:25 Say, uh,
02:26 where are her family?
02:28 They're dead.
02:29 Well, uh, why is it she thinks they're still alive?
02:34 Twice a year on her birthday and Christmas,
02:36 a present comes for her.
02:37 She's sure it's from her people.
02:39 Well, maybe they're not dead then.
02:42 Mr. Randall,
02:43 when you abandon a child,
02:45 even if you're still moving around,
02:47 you're dead.
02:49 Mm-hmm.
02:52 These, uh, packages, where do they come from?
02:54 How do you mean?
02:56 Well, I mean, they come in a mail or what?
02:57 Oh, they're left at the door.
02:59 She's tried staying up several times to see,
03:02 but she's not been able to see anything.
03:03 You ever try to find out where they come from?
03:05 We've made inquiries.
03:07 But quite honestly, Mr. Randall,
03:10 we don't want to press the issue.
03:12 Here we know that she gets the care and love that she needs.
03:15 Can you guarantee that you'll get it somewhere else?
03:18 Well, uh,
03:20 maybe her family's still alive.
03:22 If they are, they can call for her.
03:24 But I don't want to give her to the first person
03:26 who knocks on the door and asks for her.
03:28 Yeah.
03:29 Well, you know what you're doing.
03:31 Not always.
03:32 We make mistakes too, you know.
03:34 Well, uh,
03:36 I'm gonna be going now.
03:38 And you're not going to take her job?
03:39 No, ma'am, you know, I learned a long time ago, uh,
03:42 you keep your nose where it belongs,
03:43 you'll keep it.
03:45 I hope we meet again under more favorable circumstances.
03:47 Yes, ma'am.
03:49 (door opens)
03:50 Mr. Randall?
04:03 Are you going to find him for me?
04:09 Well, uh, Dolly, I had a little talk with the sister
04:14 and she said that...
04:14 I know.
04:15 She told you my parents were dead, didn't she?
04:19 Huh?
04:20 But that's not true.
04:21 I know.
04:22 How do you know?
04:24 Because I can feel them.
04:26 My prayers.
04:28 I can feel them listening.
04:29 Will you bring them back?
04:31 Please.
04:33 Well, uh,
04:35 I got a job coming up.
04:37 I got a lot of things I gotta do.
04:38 I gotta get in town, pick up some supp...
04:40 I'll try.
04:44 That's all I wanted to know.
04:45 I'll go in the star packing myself.
04:47 I'll go in the star packing my things right away.
04:49 You tell them I'll be ready as soon as they get here.
04:51 I'll be all ready.
04:52 You tell them I'll be ready as soon as they get here.

05:33 How did it go?
05:37 That was early.
05:39 About ten years.
05:41 With a little girl.
05:44 A little girl?
05:45 What you want?
05:48 How long you been in town, Craig?
05:51 About five years. Why?
05:53 Ever hear of a family?
05:55 Old Cleary?
05:57 Cleary?
05:58 No. Why?
06:01 Well, a little girl looking for a mother and father.
06:03 Thought you might know 'em.
06:04 Are they supposed to live around here?
06:06 Well, they did one time.
06:07 That sister out at the home said that they're both dead.
06:11 I thought you might know something about it.
06:12 Sorry, Josh.
06:14 Hey, Hard Rock!
06:17 Come on over here a minute.
06:19 This is Hard Rock Johnson.
06:23 If anybody in the state didn't know about it, he would.
06:26 This is Josh Randall, Hard Rock.
06:29 Got a few words with you.
06:30 Howdy.
06:31 I don't talk too good dry.
06:34 Now then, young fella, what do you want to talk about?
06:47 You ever hear of a family called Cleary?
06:49 Used to live around here.
06:51 Cleary?
06:53 Come on, Hard Rock. Do you know her, don't you?
06:56 Don't yell at me.
06:58 If you had any sense, you'd answer 'em yourself.
07:00 You know who he's asking after.
07:02 Old Matt.
07:04 You mean the old drunk? Lives out at the Jenkins' place with Virgil?
07:08 Matt Cleary.
07:10 I never heard his last name before.
07:12 He don't use it much.
07:13 Been a long time since anybody called him mister.
07:16 Is he a good little girl?
07:18 You trust this fella?
07:20 You can talk to him.
07:21 Matt was a blacksmith.
07:23 And a pretty good one, too.
07:25 Oh, that was ten, eleven years ago.
07:28 Had himself a pretty little wife, baby girl.
07:30 Done well.
07:32 Done real well.
07:33 Maybe too good.
07:34 Yeah, was it?
07:35 Town was growing then.
07:37 A lot of business for good smiths.
07:39 I don't know.
07:41 Maybe working too hard or maybe it was just the times.
07:44 But he took to drinking.
07:46 Drank like payday at the mines, every day.
07:48 One night, it was up the silver dollar.
07:54 Matt was drunk.
07:56 His wife come after him, driving a buggy.
07:58 She begged him to go on home with her, in front of the rest of us.
08:02 Made him mad.
08:03 Real mad.
08:05 But he went.
08:06 Got in that buggy and started whipping the horse.
08:09 Animal run away.
08:11 Rig overturned and...
08:13 Well, woman was killed.
08:15 Matt buried the woman.
08:18 Took the baby out to the nuns.
08:20 Left her there.
08:21 Said he didn't even have the right to see her after what he'd done.
08:25 And you mean for ten years he hadn't wanted to see that girl again?
08:28 Don't think it's a matter of wanting.
08:30 He just making himself pay for what he'd done.
08:33 Um...
08:36 Who would have find this fellow?
08:38 He lives out at the Jenkins place, about two miles south of town.
08:42 Him and Virgil.
08:43 Who's Virgil?
08:45 Virgil?
08:47 Well, you take all the meanness in the world and throw in about half the muscle.
08:51 Grind it up and pour it out.
08:53 That's Virgil.
08:54 That's Virgil.
08:55 Only man in town that can get along with him is old Matt.
08:59 And that ain't all the time.
09:00 What's your blouse?
09:02 I'd be careful if I was you, son.
09:10 Either one of them alone is bad enough.
09:12 But together...
09:13 Well, just be careful.
09:15 Yeah.
09:17 Nice young fellow.
09:19 Yeah.
09:20 Be kind of interesting to see if he gets any older.
09:24 [music]
09:26 [shouting]
09:52 You try it! You just try it!
09:55 [music]
10:00 [shouting]
10:25 [shouting]
10:27 What do you want?
10:49 Howdy.
10:51 Mr. Cleary?
10:54 Yeah?
10:55 I asked you, mister.
11:02 What do you want?
11:04 I wanted to talk to Matt Cleary.
11:06 What about?
11:07 I think I ought to tell him that, huh?
11:10 Well, you tell me first.
11:12 I'll let you know if he wants to listen to you.
11:14 It's about your daughter.
11:21 What's wrong?
11:23 Everything's all right, isn't it?
11:24 Yeah, she's all right.
11:25 It's just she wants to be with her father.
11:26 Come on.
11:28 She's better off with the sisters.
11:29 She doesn't even know I'm alive.
11:32 It's better that way.
11:35 Go away.
11:37 Go on. Leave me alone.
11:38 You had your answer, mister.
11:43 Now get on your way.
11:45 It's okay with you. I'd like to talk to him.
11:48 So far you've been doing pretty good.
11:53 Now you get on your horse,
11:54 point him in the direction of town,
11:55 and kick him. You understand?
11:56 You seem to do all the talking for him.
11:59 Any particular reason?
12:01 Yeah.
12:02 'Cause I'm the only friend he's got.
12:04 Now you get out of here
12:06 and forget you ever found this place.
12:07 If you come back, plan on being buried.
12:11 All right.
12:12 You see Matt Cleary this afternoon?
12:14 Yeah.
12:16 Did you tell him about his daughter?
12:17 Mm-hmm.
12:19 I'm dear, would you bring another cup, too, please?
12:21 Give him a coffee.
12:24 You'll get more.
12:25 Tell me what happened when you saw Matt.
12:27 He was pretty anxious at first.
12:29 Then he got a little bit of a fit.
12:30 He was a little bit of a fussy.
12:32 He was a little bit of a fussy.
12:34 He was a little bit of a fussy.
12:36 He was a little bit of a fussy.
12:39 He was at first,
12:40 when he saw she was all right,
12:41 he figured the best thing to do
12:42 is leave her where she is.
12:43 Maybe he's right.
12:44 Virgil thinks so.
12:46 As far as I'm concerned,
12:48 I got nothing to do with it from now on.
12:49 Say, uh,
12:53 I don't mean to overstep myself,
12:54 but what time do you get through working?
12:55 10.30.
12:57 Good, I'll pick you up.
12:58 What'd you have in mind?
13:00 Well, I thought maybe we'd go for a little ride.
13:03 I'll rent a buggy.
13:04 Sounds good.
13:06 Be sure you get one that'll see three.
13:08 My husband will want to go along with us.
13:09 How long are you going to stay in town?
13:17 The way my luck's been running,
13:20 her husband's probably Billy the Kid.
13:21 I think I'll leave first thing in the morning.
13:23 Mr. Randall.
13:26 Hello, Matt.
13:27 What are you doing here?
13:29 I, uh...
13:33 I wanted to talk to you.
13:37 Sit down.
13:38 You, uh, want some tea?
13:45 No, no.
13:47 I'll take a drink if I can.
13:51 Fred, bring over a bottle.
13:54 Put it on his bill.
13:55 Now, why don't you have one you can taste?
14:05 I'm not a big fan of tea.
14:10 I don't drink tea.
14:12 I don't drink tea.
14:14 I don't drink tea.
14:16 I don't drink tea.
14:18 I don't drink tea.
14:20 I don't drink tea.
14:23 I don't drink tea.
14:24 I don't drink tea.
14:26 I don't drink tea.
14:28 I don't drink tea.
14:30 I don't drink tea.
14:32 I don't drink tea.
14:34 I don't drink tea.
14:36 I don't drink tea.
14:38 I don't drink tea.
14:40 I don't drink tea.
14:42 I don't drink tea.
14:44 I don't drink tea.
14:46 I don't drink tea.
14:48 I don't drink tea.
14:51 It's not going to be that easy.
14:52 I guess...
14:59 I guess nothing good is ever easy.
15:02 Fred!
15:14 Fred!
15:15 Shit!
15:17 Shit!

15:57 I'm going to pay you back, Josh.
15:59 Every cent.
16:01 Don't worry about it.
16:02 Well, when's the big day?
16:04 Tomorrow. Matt and I are going to ride out to school together.
16:07 Right?
16:08 You know, if anybody had told me a week ago you could make this change,
16:11 I'd have called him a liar.
16:12 It's good to see you looking this way, Matt.
16:14 It feels good, too.
16:15 Come on, let's order some food. We've got to get an early start.
16:18 Right? Sally?

17:07 What's wrong?
17:08 You better come and see for yourself.
17:10 [music]
17:12 [music]
17:14 What's the matter? Don't you ever sleep?

17:30 [music]
17:32 Get his feet.
17:34 [music]
17:36 [music]
17:38 Got him?
17:40 [music]
17:42 [music]
17:45 You know, there was nothing I could do, Josh. He came in and started poking fun at Matt.
17:48 He said one or two wouldn't hurt him.
17:50 Kept at him all the time, kicking, like a little dog.
17:53 [music]
17:55 [music]
17:57 [music]
17:59 [music]
18:01 Who got him drunk, Craig?
18:03 Huh?
18:05 Virgil.

18:23 [music]
18:25 Virgil?
18:27 [music]
18:29 [music]
18:31 [music]
18:33 [music]
18:35 What are you doing out here?
18:37 Why don't you do it, Virgil?
18:39 I don't know what you're talking about.
18:42 You got Matt Clary drunk. Why'd you do it?
18:44 Because he's my friend, that's why.
18:47 Friend, huh? Funny way to show it.
18:49 Listen, Virgil, I came out here because I wanted to try to make you understand that Matt needs help to stop drinking.
18:56 Little girl's awful important to him.
18:58 I think the best thing for you to do is stay away from him.
19:01 I mean that friendly-like.
19:03 I'll bet.
19:11 You got a lot of friends, haven't you?
19:13 Well, how about it, bounty hunter? You got a lot of friends?
19:19 Me, I never had none.
19:22 Not in my whole life did I ever have a talking friend until Matt came along.
19:27 He's the only man in the county that's no better than me.
19:31 He's my friend and you nor anybody else is gonna change that.
19:36 You're wrong. Matt's little girl is gonna change it.
19:40 Like I said, I think it'd be better for you to stay away from him.
19:43 Are you asking or telling?
19:46 Any way you want to take it, big fellow.
19:56 [Music]
20:24 You got a friend on your hand and you want to take him away?
20:26 [Music]
20:55 [Music]
21:24 I just wanted a friend, that's all.
21:27 Just somebody to talk to.
21:30 [Music]
21:35 [Music]
21:41 Well, is she ready?
21:43 Yes, I hope it's the right thing.
21:45 Well, it's been over a month, Matt hasn't touched a drop.
21:47 I'm very glad. He seems like a very nice man.
21:50 He is.
21:53 Where is he?
21:55 Come on.
21:57 [Music]
22:15 Come on.
22:18 [Music]
22:34 That's your father, huh?
22:37 [Music]
22:55 Dolly, my baby.
22:58 [Music]
23:16 Dolly, I want you to meet my very best friend, Virgil.
23:21 [Music]
23:35 All right, let's go home, Virgil.
23:37 Bye.
23:39 Who's the other gentleman?
23:42 [Music]
23:45 He's a man with a friend.
