00:30Hello.
00:31Good day, sir.
00:35My name is Will Temple.
00:37Lucas McCain.
00:38My son Mark.
00:39I didn't mean to startle you, boy, calling out like that.
00:41I just wanted to talk.
00:43That's all.
00:46Maybe it wasn't the calling out that did it.
00:50No, I...
00:52I was just looking at the place over here.
00:54Bought this land a few days back from the town road to the wash.
00:57A handsome place.
00:58Canavan told me you'd bought it after he evicted those squatters.
01:01Pretty much run down.
01:03Like them that lived here before me didn't care too much about keeping things up.
01:06They didn't.
01:07They didn't let the green land go brown, but I got it at a pretty good price.
01:11You say you wanted to talk to Mark about something?
01:14Ah, yes.
01:16You handle a team, boy?
01:18Yes, sir.
01:20Well, I got a field that needs stumping if I'm going to get anything in the ground come planting time.
01:25I'd feel real good about getting a crop in the first year on the place.
01:28So I can't afford a full-time hired hand, but I'll give you 50 cents a day.
01:33Fifty?
01:35Pa, you remember that watch I was admiring at Miss Millie's?
01:39Uh-huh.
01:40You know, you still have your own chores to do at home, son.
01:43I know, Pa, but how about if I come over tomorrow after I finish my chores?
01:48That suits me fine.
01:49Now, you've got to be able to hold the team.
01:51Yes, sir.
01:52Keep a steady strain on the pole.
01:53Yes, sir.
01:54Pa?
01:55It's up to you, son.
01:56Won't be easy holding down two jobs.
01:59I'll be over tomorrow.
02:01I'll be fine.
02:03Good day, Mr. Temple.
02:04Yes, sir.
02:05Hey, you sure 50 cents?
02:07Fifty cents a day.
02:08I'll be there.
02:13You know, stumping a field won't be as easy as that last job you took working in a stable.
02:17Don't expect so.
02:18You figure on getting to bed early tonight?
02:20That sure is a handsome watch.
02:22Might not be so handsome at sundown tomorrow night.
02:25Now, come on.
02:26Let's get old Slippery back to his ma.
02:27She'll be bowing for him.
02:32I'll wait on you.
02:34That's right, boy.
02:36Pa taught you good.
02:43I'm sorry for staring.
02:45It's all right.
02:46Drink the water.
02:58Mark!
03:00You know him?
03:02Uh, yes, sir.
03:03That's Arnie and Jess Grady.
03:05They're the squatters Pa was telling you about.
03:17You fixing to dirt farm this poor little land?
03:23If you don't hear good, I just asked you a question.
03:25A right easy one.
03:27What do you want here?
03:29Well, me and Arnie, we was talking just this morning
03:32about how we thought it'd be a wholesome idea
03:34to come back and see what the old place looked like.
03:40Is that all you come for?
03:41Likely it ain't.
03:43We heard tell something the scum moved on here
03:46after the law moved us off.
03:50Folks are all talking about how you never told them
03:53where you came from.
03:55Why is that?
03:56None of your business.
03:58He is mean.
04:02You as mean as you are ugly.
04:08Go on up to the house, boy.
04:11I'll stay, Mr. Temple.
04:13He's just like his daddy, ain't he, Arnie?
04:17Standing up there straight up and proud like.
04:20Only thing is, he ain't got no rifle standing next to him.
04:26I want you to get off this land.
04:28He said Arnie, he wants us to get.
04:31You heard what I said.
04:38Now you listen to me.
04:42You're telling us to get is the same as inviting yourself into a hole.
04:47Our pa and us, we work this land.
04:50And no drifting, scar-faced scum is going to tell us to get.
04:57You're trespassing.
04:59Use that gun you'll hang.
05:02I don't think you got the stomach to walk up to a rope head on.
05:09Take one more step and I'm going to blow your head off.
05:14Go on, Jif.
05:16Go ahead.
05:17Go on, Jizzy.
05:18Blow his head off, Jif.
05:19Go ahead, boy.
05:20Shoot him.
05:21Jizzy.
05:22Go on, Jif.
05:23Go on.
05:24Go on, Jizzy.
05:33Jizzy.
05:37Get on that horse and go.
05:40Don't you ever let me catch you on this land again.
05:48Whoa.
06:04Feel like pulling out a stump before your pa gets here for you, Mark?
06:08You sure had me worried there for a minute.
06:19Hello, Pa.
06:20A cloud of dust I passed back there on the road.
06:23Was that the Grady boys?
06:24I guess it was.
06:25Sure was, Pa.
06:26You should have seen the way Mr. Temple handled Jess Grady.
06:29Why, he even took the gun out of his...
06:31Boy, you put in the right amount of work today.
06:34Held that lead line like he was born to it.
06:36With all that dirt he's wearing, he better save some of his wages for soap and water.
06:40We got plenty of that up at the house.
06:42So I'd take it as a favor if you'd both join me for supper.
06:46Got a couple of frying chickens already drawed.
06:49Sounds good, Pa.
06:50Suits me fine, Will.
06:52Maybe after supper I might see which one of you McCains holds the tall hand of checkers.
06:56Why, Pa's the best checker player this side of Denver.
06:59Except when I beat him, of course.
07:01Now we've got a game.
07:03I'll take care of the team.
07:04Will, where can I wash up?
07:05Come on around.
07:07Checkers are on the shelf in the closet, Mark.
07:10How's your Pa's idea that the loser between you and me had to spell hand-washing dishes?
07:15Checkers are on the shelf in the closet, Mark.
07:18How's your Pa's idea that the loser between you and me had to spell hand-washing dishes?
07:46Were you in the cavalry, Mr. Temple?
07:48I saw your uniform in the closet.
07:51Fourth Cavalry, wasn't it?
07:53Well, I quit the Army a while back, Mark.
07:56It was good.
07:57Well, didn't you like it?
07:59I always thought it'd be exciting.
08:01Wearing a uniform, fighting for your country.
08:04Don't ask so many questions, Mark.
08:06Oh, it's all right, Lucas.
08:07I don't mind.
08:08Boys got to ask questions.
08:10I don't know what you can learn.
08:13Well, to answer truthfully, Mark, I don't think I ever really liked the Army.
08:18That's why I was not at first.
08:20I grew up on a farm and went off when I was 15 to join the Army.
08:24That was a long time ago.
08:27Born into this world, a man's got to fight just to stay alive.
08:32Well, it seems like you're always fighting.
08:35I've fought to stay alive more times than I care to remember.
08:38Chickamauga, Shiloh.
08:41Then after the war, the 4th Cavalry fight in Cheyenne.
08:45Is that when you hurt yourself?
08:51All that fight to stay alive come a time when I just wanted to die.
08:56Talked to God about it, boy.
08:59I purely pleaded with Him to do no good.
09:04Guess He wasn't listening.
09:07Yeah, this was done to me with fire.
09:11Sometimes at night I can still feel it crawling and burning.
09:16Well, were you at Willow Creek at the point?
09:19No, I wasn't.
09:23Well, we'd best get on with this game.
09:25Otherwise your dad's going to be done with them dishes before we even get a king crown.
09:28Move, please.
10:06Come on.
10:37Good morning, Mr. McCain.
10:39I'm Lieutenant Vaughn, 4th Army Provost Officer.
10:41How do you do, Lieutenant? Won't you come in?
10:43No, thanks.
10:44Marshal said you could tell me how to find Will Temple's place.
10:47Oh, sure.
10:48Well, on the road to the fork you'll see an old wagon trail cutting across a dry wash.
10:51You follow that wash down to the hill. You'll see his place.
10:53Margie Blythe.
10:54By the way, what kind of a fellow is this Temple?
10:57I don't know too much about him, but I'd judge he's a good enough man.
11:00He's a good man.
11:03I don't know too much about him, but I'd judge he's a good enough man.
11:06Is his real name Will Temple?
11:08His real name?
11:09Well, you see, the Army's looking for a man.
11:11William Trager.
11:13I've been trailing him the better part of three months now.
11:16He passed through here a short time back,
11:18about the time the Marshal said this Will Temple settled here.
11:22What does the Army want with a man you're looking for?
11:25He's a deserter.
11:27Well, he couldn't be talking about Mr. Temple.
11:29He wouldn't desert.
11:31Do you know why he deserted?
11:33The 4th Cavalry lost nearly a whole troop at a place called Willow Creek.
11:36Yes, I heard about it.
11:38Trager was the man that told the Cheyenne where the troop was hidden.
11:41They captured him when he was riding patrol.
11:43I don't believe it was him!
11:45Mark, the Marshal said that this fellow Temple had a scar on his face.
11:50Yes, on the left side.
11:52Does it look like it was done by fire?
11:57Cheyenne way of granting a man a coward.
11:59As long as a man lives, the Cheyenne can recognize that mark on him.
12:04I don't care what you say.
12:06He's not a coward, and he's not a deserter.
12:09Mark, do not talk like that.
12:11When did he desert, Lieutenant?
12:13The Cheyenne turned him loose after they hit Willow Creek with a full war party.
12:16At least that's what we heard from one of the Braves we captured later on.
12:20But he never went back to his company.
12:22I guess he figured the Army thought he was dead.
12:25Well, many thanks. I'll be getting along.
12:28Oh, I almost forgot.
12:30This is for you, son.
12:32Miss Millie sent it along.
12:34That's your watch, Mark.
12:35You know, it could be you're right about your friend, son.
12:37I hope you are.
12:40Good day.
12:51There's times when every man wants to be alone, Mark.
12:54Is this one of those times?
12:59Yes, sir.
13:02All right, son.
13:13The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
13:16Make me to lie down in green pastures.
13:19Give me some slightly still waters.
13:22Still up my soul.
13:25Relief me in the powers of righteousness, for his name's sake.
13:36Illinois is my head with oil in my cup.
13:41Come in.
13:43Come in.
13:54What's your name?
13:56The real name I'm in.
14:14Come on.
14:22Who did it?
14:24McCain.
14:26Come on, who did it?
14:27A man named O'Connie.
14:29He was waiting here for me at the fork.
14:31He rode scout through the fourth.
14:34He'd been following me ever since I left the southwest.
14:37O'Connie lost two brothers at Willow Creek.
14:41He swore he'd get Traeger if it took him the rest of his life.
15:11Let's go.
15:28I'm not ashamed of this scar.
15:30What it stands for, that's not the reason I ran away.
15:33I stood up to everything that Cheyenne did to me.
15:37When I told, I don't think I even knew it up then.
15:44You see, boy,
15:47God, he didn't make us the same way as he made the Red Man.
15:51I guess we're just not as strong.
15:57He didn't have to run away, though.
15:59He could have told them how it was.
16:08Every man in my company knew the shot.
16:14One of his comrades, Cheyenne, knew what it was called.
16:18And I knew I couldn't go back.
16:21My little face was gone.
16:29And I ruled with a long time, but
16:32God,
16:34I'm sorry.
16:38I'm sorry.
16:45I'm sorry.
16:52Yes, sir.
17:04I'm sorry.
17:08I'm sorry.
17:14I'm sorry.
17:17I'm sorry.
17:21I'm sorry.
17:27I'm sorry.
17:34I'm sorry.
17:46I'm sorry.
17:48Honey, now you think on that a little, maybe.
17:55Leave me to you.
17:56All right.
18:08Well, I'm going to give you another chance at that.
18:10I waited for you to come back.
18:32All right, mister, this is out of your affair. Get moving.
18:37I said you'd best get moving. I don't want to have to kill you too.
18:41Come a long way, mister, and I haven't finished what I've come here to do.
18:47Now you want to go lying across your saddle or sitting up on it.
19:11Will.
19:15What are you doing?
19:16Turn yourself in.
19:19I'll shuttle my horse.
19:41Pa?
19:42Yes, honey.
19:44What are we going to do? I don't want to get trapped.
19:46What for?
19:47After that, I don't know.
19:48Turn himself in to Michael.
19:59Will he be all right?
20:01As long as he keeps making friends like you and Mark, he'll be all right.
20:07What time is it?
20:08What time is it?
20:30What happened to Snow White after she married the prince?
20:32The prince?
20:33Once upon a time, there was a princess named Snow White.
20:36Her name was the property of laughter.
20:39Oh, the love of my life!
20:41Let go of your lust for love!
20:44Well, almost.
20:47It was you, it was you.
20:49I don't trust you at all.
20:50You're trying to eat my grandmother.
20:52The death kingdom.
20:57Oh, Pa!
20:58Some people can't take a joke.
