01:00Name's Tate, it's him all right.
01:25Heard Rainer don't set too much price on you, sending out half man like him.
01:33We have to get him back to the house.
01:35The house?
01:38Ain't Christian leave him out here.
01:40Not if I got one man's blood on my hands.
01:43You keep blaming yourself.
01:45Young Rainer had it coming Abel.
01:48Well you had the right.
01:49Ain't nobody got the right.
01:52Vengeance is mine saith the Lord.
01:55We got to get him on his horse.
01:59Why?
02:00You give him the chance you know what he'll do.
02:04Help me pick him up.
02:06He's hired out to kill you Abel.
02:10I know that.
02:12Now help me get him up.
02:25Fool me all right.
02:43You're going to make it.
02:45You owe me for two days sleep I lost.
02:48Fever was higher in Pike's Peak.
02:50You come down through the Parthenia Hills all that water through there is bad.
02:54I've been telling them they ought to post it.
03:01Be a pleasure to clean in here again.
03:04Dust can sure get ahead of you just a couple of days.
03:09Guess we can open this now.
03:11You just speak up.
03:12Does it get too cool?
03:15I always say that's the hard part of fever.
03:17Having to keep the window down.
03:19Still be worse I guess to take a chill.
03:22I got the rest of your things right here.
03:25I laid them away when we put you to bed.
03:31Not me.
03:33Pa and Maddie done that.
03:36Maddie was my brother.
03:39Your boots are here.
03:41I brushed them off.
03:52Your name's Tate.
03:54It was wrote in your Bible.
03:58I'm Lulie Jean King.
03:59Abel King's my pa.
04:03He's got your gun Mr. Tate.
04:13Don't wait that's all I'm saying.
04:15Don't wait till he can strap on a gun.
04:18You don't finish him Abel he'll finish you.
04:21Eat your supper Luke.
04:28Cold.
04:30That girl ain't been dishing us up nothing but slop these past two days.
04:34She got to be with him all the time.
04:36You hear that pa?
04:39He's got the green eye.
04:42Hush up Maddie.
04:47Get too easy on her Abel.
04:49Be different did I have to say.
04:52You don't have it.
04:54Matter of time.
04:58When I hired on it was understood.
05:01I said it was up to the girl.
05:03And note why you were saying it.
05:04She ain't in no position to pick and choose.
05:11Judge not that ye be not judged.
05:15Well they ain't gonna be buzzing around here like bees begging her to marry him.
05:20Not after what she done.
05:22Everybody know him?
05:34I warned you.
05:52You full woke up?
05:54Up for fair.
05:57You wouldn't know him pa.
06:05Pa.
06:07Pa.
06:08You stay here.
06:22You knew who I was.
06:24Yet you brought me in.
06:26Could have left me.
06:29I'd be dead by now.
06:31Sets us apart from the creatures I guess.
06:35Man keeps charity in his heart.
06:38No charity to bring me in and take my gun.
06:43Soft-hearted don't mean I'm soft-headed too.
06:46I'm a man of my word.
06:48Soft-hearted don't mean I'm soft-headed too.
06:51You don't look like a killing man.
06:54I ain't.
06:56You killed Rainer's boy.
06:58Yes I killed him.
07:01With good reason.
07:05I try to do what the book says.
07:10I don't hold it against you.
07:12You're hiring out your gun to hurt Rainer.
07:15Ain't nobody in this house gonna harm you.
07:18You stay here till you get strong enough.
07:20And then you ride out.
07:34In case you get any notions, there's three of us.
07:39Keep that in mind.
07:48So
08:02It's kind of heavy, ain't it?
08:04I can handle it.
08:05No need, full-grown man around.
08:06Please.
08:08Just trying to help you is all.
08:09I don't want no help.
08:11Not from you.
08:12Where are you going to find it?
08:14Him?
08:16Take my advice, forget it.
08:18All I gotta do is drop him one word.
08:40Don't make much noise.
08:42You make enough for two.
08:46Something you want to say to me?
08:48You got any ideas about her?
08:51Have you?
08:55I'm going to marry her.
08:58Now you got something to say?
09:02It's a funny thing I noticed you.
09:05Take away a gunfighter's gun.
09:08All of a sudden he's two foot shorter.
09:12Luke!
09:13Coming.
09:15I'm going to marry her.
09:17Don't you forget that.
09:34I was thinking to boil up some soap this morning.
09:37I got wood ash that high.
09:40When I was a boy, that meant it was spring.
09:42I've been wondering if you're strong enough.
09:46I'm strong enough.
09:49I mean if you'd like to sit by and watch.
09:54I'd like that fine.
09:58I like this soft for the washing and such.
10:01You want the hard soap, you need a store-bought lye.
10:04You're real handy around the house.
10:06I just turned 12 when Ma passed on.
10:07Sometimes it seems like I've never done nothing else.
10:09Just tend to Maddy and Pa.
10:12And the hired hands.
10:15They come and go.
10:18How long's Luke been here?
10:19About a month or so.
10:20Wasn't easy to get somebody after...
10:26After your Pa killed Sam Rayner.
10:32You'd have to know about that.
10:34You're hired to Mr. Rayner, ain't you?
10:36I'm not.
10:37But that you're hired to Mr. Rayner, ain't you?
10:40Yes.
10:42You maybe heard something about Sam and me.
10:49All of it.
10:53Luke been saying things to you?
10:59It ain't true.
11:01It's just the talk, that's all.
11:03It wasn't never nothing that took Sam and me.
11:09Luke got no right.
11:12He thinks he has.
11:14He says he's gonna marry you.
11:17Ain't nobody saying who marries me.
11:19Ain't nobody passing me around like I was a drink out of a bottle.
11:24I'm the only one to say, and I'll do my own picking.
11:26Anybody that pleasures me, big or small, fat or lean, one arm or two.
11:31I'm sorry.
11:34Luly.
11:39Luly, look at me.
11:42Now that's real pretty.
11:49You don't make much noise when it suits you.
11:52I'm a fascinating man.
11:56I'm a fascinating man.
11:58I'm a fascinating man.
12:00I can't hardly turn my back on you a minute, can I?
12:15Not you open the door to any stray goat to come sneaking up the path.
12:18You've got a dirty mouth.
12:31Go wash it out.
12:37If Abel don't kill you, I will.
13:08You don't have to leave.
13:13I don't want to kill your pa.
13:23What Luke said, you know it ain't so.
13:28The whole thing started about a year ago.
13:33I come on Sam in the hills.
13:36He was hunting a deer.
13:39There's one thing you've got to understand.
13:41The furthest I've ever been is to town.
13:43And Sam, he'd been everywhere during the war.
13:47He got to talking about it that day.
13:50He liked to talk.
13:52I liked to listen.
13:56Got to looking for him any time I rode out.
14:00Guess maybe he got to looking for me.
14:04And you'd talk?
14:07All the places he'd been, all the things he'd seen.
14:10Atlanta, Richmond, Baton Rouge.
14:14All the fancy parties and balls and the women in silks and laces.
14:24So I started to talk in the town.
14:30Pa asked me, was I meeting Sam?
14:33And I said, I was.
14:38And he killed him.
14:42There was no cause, there was nothing wrong.
14:48Do you believe me, Tate?
14:52I believe you.
15:01You have your gun.
15:04I gave it to him, Pa.
15:06Didn't make no difference.
15:08He had Luke's gun.
15:10Luke told me.
15:12Where's Luke now?
15:14Rode into town.
15:16He's quit.
15:18Thought he'd never come back.
15:20He's gone.
15:22He's gone.
15:24He's gone.
15:26He's gone.
15:28He's quit.
15:30Thought he was stopping to pick up stuff?
15:32Asked me to bring it to him next time I'd come in.
15:36Seems like he had a thirst and couldn't wait.
15:38Luke say what happened here?
15:41He said.
15:46Wherefore have you rewarded evil for good?
15:56You got your horse, now ride out of here.
15:59Luke's got a loose mouth.
16:07I'll be back.
16:09You do, you come prepared to kill or be killed.
16:36So help me, I've seen him with my own two eyes.
16:39I tried to tell the old man.
16:41Been more sense to bring a mad dog in the house.
16:43But you know him.
16:44He ratted himself in a verse from the book.
16:46And can't nobody say him yay or nay.
16:50Why, she didn't hardly wait till he was out of the house.
16:54Didn't even get herself a whole man either.
17:03No matter what she did.
17:05You just did worse.
17:09He tell you the rest of it?
17:12He tell you he's been begging to marry her?
17:16Tell him what Lily would say if she were here.
17:20She wouldn't have you.
17:22She wouldn't even look at you.
17:26She wouldn't have you.
17:28She wouldn't even look at you.
17:33You got the advantage.
17:35I got no gun.
17:39You got one now.
18:10Wouldn't want to take advantage of a man with one arm.
18:13Come on in, the drinks are on me.
18:39Come on in.
19:07Like it says in the book.
19:10Behold, I will deliver thine enemy.
19:13Just purely stupid.
19:14Why'd you come back?
19:17I owe your pa for his charity.
19:20I owe you too.
19:23Besides, you'll need me when Luke gets here.
19:26He ain't coming back.
19:28I just stake my life on it.
19:31He's coming back and with a gun.
19:35You got me here.
19:39Climb down.
20:04Do you think he's coming here?
20:06I think so.
20:07Wouldn't he be here by now?
20:10He'll use the dark.
20:13And after...
20:16He'll be riding out?
20:18Yes.
20:22Far places.
20:24Pretty names.
20:27Tucson.
20:29Aveline.
20:31Santa Fe.
20:33Someday I'm going to San Francisco.
20:35Sam told me you walk down the street, there's people from every place in the world.
20:39That's right.
20:44Someday I'm going to San Francisco.
20:52It makes you so sure they're coming here.
20:55A man like that can't stand to be laughed at.
20:58And you think he'd try to do me harm?
21:01He might.
21:02Or Pa.
21:04He'll try to kill your Pa before your Pa kills him.
21:08Tate.
21:11Why'd you come back?
21:14Your Pa's not a killing man.
21:28No later.
21:47You had to come back, didn't you?
21:51Riding with Sam, do you ever meet anybody?
21:54Only once.
21:58Him.
22:03You ever stop to think how the talk got started?
22:07You're the one.
22:10You started that talk.
22:14Tell him.
22:16Tell him why.
22:19Count.
22:22Her.
22:26You knew you didn't stand a chance unless you kept the others away.
22:30You dirt.
22:33Getting a man killed, you dirt.
22:36Use the high and mighty all the time?
22:39Too good for me?
22:41Too good to even stop and just talk?
22:47Don't you turn your back on me one time, do you hear?
22:50All right, that's enough.
22:59You're still hired out to Bert Raynor.
23:02Raynor wanted justice.
23:05He's got it.
23:32It wouldn't be any good.
23:36Churched one day, maybe widowed the next.
23:41They'll be riding out here by the dozens.
23:44You let me know who's the lucky one.
23:47Where?
23:49Kansas City, general delivery.
23:52I'll let you know.
23:54Maybe I can help with the doings.
23:57I'll let you know.
23:59Maybe I can help with the doings.
24:02Like give away the bride or something.
24:08Goodbye, Lily.
24:21Tate.
24:26You'll be the only man ever give the bride away twice.
24:56You'll be the only man ever give the bride away twice.
25:11The End
