"Enough." "I don't have to run away." "This is my land." "Murderers." "Blood river will be red with your blood." "Your people entrust you with this dagger, young Condor." "After thirty moons you'll be a warrior." "Remember." "(cut) Indians like you." "You killed my people without mercy." "But you'll pay, coyotes." "I memorised all your faces, white men." "There will be no respite for you." "'Ten Whites Killed by a Little Indian' (Blood River)" "Good morning." "How's it going?" "Hi." "One day this will all belong to my son." "To Ben, and his heirs." "The Websters will become stronger and more powerful." "They'll cut down this forest and cultivate these lands." "The railroad will pass through here one day..." "And a city will be built." "It might even be called Webster City." "You and Ben will make a good couple." "You could give me grandchildren that will continue my work." "Is that a marriage proposal?" "I don't think Ben needs me for that." "He already has." "He didn't tell me." "I wouldn't marry a man who tells his father everything." "You wouldn't." "Well, what did you say?" "I told him I'd give him an answer when he returns." "You see, Catherine..." "Even a woman has to think about her future." "The land Tom left to you and his son is small." "It was enough." "Don't let pride influence you." "The bible says it isn't a sin to marry a rich man's son." "When you and Ben get married..." "If I marry Ben." "This land, the forest..." "The farm, it will all be yours." "All the way to Blood river." "Blood river." "I was there the other day." "Why?" "Why do people visit haunted houses?" "They're frightened, but at the same time..." "They're attracted by a mysterious force." "I can't describe the feeling." "I know." "It was a bad story, Cathy." "I've been trying to forget it for years." "There was Luke, Ned.." "Matt, Paul, myself and a few others..." "We bought the best land in the area from the government." "We worked day and night but we were happy." "But one day, returning from work, all of a sudden..." "The Indians attacked us." "They threw themselves at us like wild animals." "They must've been drunk, it really was a river of blood." "Mr. Webster?" "Do you feel alright?" "Yes." "Are you sure?" "Yes, of course." "It happens every now and then, when I..." "Like I said, Catherine, it's a bad story." "We'd better get back to the ranch." "Mr. Webster?" "Mr. Webster, you look like you've seen a ghost." "I didn't see anything." "Why?" "Did you see something?" "No." "Perhaps it's a ghost?" "Only an idiot can do something like that." "You're right, only an idiot." "I told you not to follow me, I told you to leave me alone." "Ringo Hammond." "And you'd promised." "Yes, Mr. Webster." "No, Mr. Webster." "I don't think so, Mr. Webster." "I can't trust you." "You promised." "You're a dirty liar." "You don't the right." "You're a coward, and I..." "And you love me." "Well?" "What's this story about marrying Ben Webster?" "You're hurting me." "Answer me." "Please, Ringo." "Okay." "Here, Catherine..." "Look." "This is Ben Webster." "And this is what I'm going to do to him." "With our sign?" "Yes, and a knot." "Still untied." "Would you do it?" "I don't think so." "But I will." "Stay away from Ben Webster." "You really are crazy, Ringo." "Sure, it's part of my charm, isn't it?" "Great father, we're here at your request." "We listen to your words." "Brothers, the fifth moon has passed, it's time for our revenge." "Condor, Manitou guides your hand." "Listen..." "Speak." "We want to return to our land." "But those murderers are still alive." "With your approval..." "We'd like Condor to consult the black stone again." "Consult the stone." "Yellow skins, your time has come." "The spirits have spoken from beyond the grave." "Go, when the next moon passes we'll consult the stone again." "Is it ready, Alice?" "I'm hungry." "Thank goodness." "You're late, where have you been?" "Please, Alice, your husband didn't die of pneumonia, he died of an anger." "God rest his soul, he didn't curse me like you." "Do I have a clean shirt?" "There's always a clean shirt for you." "Do you really want Ben to marry Cathy?" "Alice, what do you have against her?" "Women can feel these things." "Men too." "I'd take her myself if I was younger." "You don't know how to recognise good stock..." "She's young, strong, and she's got a fine pair of..." "Look, she isn't one of your mares, able." "She'll give me a healthy and strong grandson." "What does Ben think?" "Did you remember to tell him?" "I know what's good for Ben." "You always know better." "She's a savage." "Better..." "We'd better tie them up." "Get some more rope." "I just want Ben to be happy." "Sure, so do I." "And he will be with her." "Tom Hammond was a good man." "But he wasn't her father." "What do I care?" "He raised her like one of his own, that's enough for me." "Not for me." "She lives with her crazy brother..." "And that Indian servant." "You're out of your mind..." "You want to sacrifice Ben to realise your dreams." "Right." "You're forgetting the most important thing..." "Ben is madly in love with her." "I know, I know." "And if Ben doesn't take Catherine, who will he marry?" "One of those placid, squalid Brian women?" "I want a pure blood daughter-in-law." "You want a grandson like some people want gold." "I have gold." "Help." "Get the rifles." "What happened?" "Did you see anything?" "Who was it?" "An Indian." "I haven't seen him around here before." "Impossible." "I'm sure of it." "And I'm sure he came here to kill Luke." "Only Luke." "He had the chance to kill me when I fell down." "William as well." "But he spared us, I'm not lying." "Why?" "Mr. Webster." "There's something strange going on." "Why did he only kill Luke?" "The black stone..." "The black stone of death." "Whose death?" "Zetra?" "When?" "Where?" "Who's going to die?" "Not talking about me, I hope?" "Leave us alone." "Be quiet, at least." "What do the stones say?" "Death waits in that direction." "Able Webster, perhaps?" "Tired from counting all his money." "Or our sweet little Ben, he might fall off a horse..." "Or sit on a rattle snake!" "Always the black stone." "Right." "Talking of Ben, he arrives today." "Where?" "In Ryan city." "Where are you going?" "Guess." "The black stone predicts a death, who will protect the ranch?" "You're here." "I'm glad you're back, Ben." "Look out." "Thanks, George." "Order what's needed." "Get it from Willy, understood?" "Okay." "The blade of Akra rests over you." "You are the hope of..." "What's this?" "Still playing your games?" "Go to hell." "If she doesn't stop, I'll..." "You won't do anything." "I need (cut)" "Don't you need me?" "Answer me, Catherine." "Ringo, I..." "You know..." "I saw you with Ben Webster." "Well?" "You (cut) drive me crazy." "You followed me." "No, seeing you together would've been too much for me." "Nothing happened." "Really?" "I promise." "What the hell's happening to you?" "I don't know." "Perhaps I'm not well." "Leave me alone, Ringo." "I'm tired, I want to rest." "Go away." "One day..." "I'll kill that cursed witch." "Greetings, great father." "Another white dog has paid." "Good." "Yes, Little Turtle, soon our people will have their land back..." "And will be avenged." "Brothers, Manitou is with you." "This vendetta has cost many lives." "True, Condor, but it's necessary." "Yes, great father." "Kill or die, we had no other choice." "Let's go to war." "No, the elders won't allow it." "But so many women and children have been killed?" "True, but it would've happened anyway." "Consult the black stone, Condor." "When the sun sets twice, another white coyote will die." "Our people are proud of you, Condor." "Only if you learn to defend yourself..." "Will other Indians like you follow." "They remain embedded in my mind." "We will have our revenge." "Manitou will protect you." "What have you done?" "Have you eaten a scorpion?" "With all the poison." "Well?" "Well, what?" "Don't adopt that tone, please." "I won't stand for you making fun of me, beautiful." "Do we always have to talk about this..." "This, what?" "Ringo, there's something about you that I don't understand..." "You have..." "Stop looking at me like that!" "Are you scared I'll find out what you're thinking?" "You should know me, we've been together for years." "Yes, but perhaps this will be the last time." "What are you trying to say?" "Liar!" "I went to Ryan city today, I spoke to the judge..." "He told me everything." "What did he say?" "That you and Ben Webster have asked for a marriage license." "Is it true?" "Answer me." "Yes." "Cathy." "Why?" "I want to get married, I want a wealthy husband." "Then my son can..." "Cathy?" "You're mine." "Don't you realise?" "You're mine." "Forever." "I've loved you since you were small." "I figured out you weren't my sister, the moment I saw you." "Look at me." "Tell me everything." "How can you think of marrying Ben?" "Tell me, my love?" "How?" "Are you crazy?" "I love you." "I love you." "Tell me it's just a dream." "Tell me it isn't true." "Don't speak." "Please don't say anymore." "Ringo." "I love you." "But I don't want to have a baby with you." "I want to have a child with Ben Webster." "You can't do this to me." "You have to go." "Go away." "Away." "If you still love me, go." "Go." "Go!" "Cheers." "Cheers." "Congratulations, old friend." "Thanks." "Have a drink with the guys." "Sure." "Congratulations, Mr. Webster." "Thanks, George." "Cheers." "Cheers." "I'm happy for you, Able." "Yes, sure." "You're not drinking?" "I know it's not the right time..." "And I'm sorry to disturb you, but I have to talk to you." "We're old friends, it's always the right time." "I wouldn't have talked to you now, if I wasn't seriously worried." "About what?" "Do you know what happened to Nick?" "And before him it was Luke." "And two days ago, to Jack Taylor." "You were right, this isn't the right time." "But Able, I have a bad feeling about this." "It's been troubling me for days." "I don't want to talk about it." "Come on, have something to drink." "Aunt Alice, let's dance." "No." "Come on." "I'm too old, Able." "You're never too old." "There are strange rumours coming from Ryan city." "What are they saying?" "You see, with all these murders..." "People are bringing up certain old stories." "I've heard them talk about it for years." "But none of it's true." "Webster's a good man..." "He's the best boss we've ever had." "Don't listen to them, Crawford." "I don't..." "But you should know what they're like." "You've known Able Webster less than ten years..." "But we grew up together." "We built this place." "Congratulations to both of you." "Thank you." "It's the best party there's ever been around here." "Right." "Everyone came tonight." "Except for Ringo." "May I have the honour of talking to you for a minute?" "Only for a minute." "This is for both of you." "My wedding present." "You keep it." "What is it?" "The deeds to all my property, for your first male child." "Then I'll be able to rest..." "And watch my son work the land the Lord has given me." ""The Lord has given me..."" ""The Lord has given me..."" ""The Lord has given me."" "We must be grateful." "Daddy, are you okay?" "Sure, why don't you and Catherine go and dance with the others." "I'm going to have a drink with the guys." "The barn is on fire." "Come on, hurry." "Bring water and get the horses safe." "Hurry up, bring water." "Quick, throw water on that side." "Come on." "Take the horses away, move the wagons." "Hurry up with that water, what are you doing?" "Come on, guys." "Move it." "It's catching fire on the other side." "More water." "Over there." "Mr. Webster, come and have a look." "Guys, come with me." "The person who started the fire drew that sign..." "It wasn't here before the party." "We need to talk." "Do you remember what I told you earlier?" "You have a lot of imagination." "It's not a sign of the Indians in this area." "You can't be sure of anything with the Indians." "They're unpredictable." "He needs help." "Zedra, what are you looking (cut)" "You have to see Ringo." "He needs you, and you need him." "It's old news, I don't like bringing up past history." "I didn't want to come back here." "I'd rather forget." "But you came back." "You know we'll never be able to forget." "You've become very elegant, they told me you're throwing money away." "Yes, that's right, I've got nothing left to lose." "They're looking for a man who looks like me." "Why are they looking for him?" "A bank robbery." "Ringo, what's going to happen to you?" "What do I care?" "It's going to end badly for me eitherway." "But first I want to have a good laugh." "Ringo, you're scaring me." "You don't know how much I missed you." "Run away with me." "We'll leave immediately." "No." "I love you, but I can't leave." "I'm a Webster now, and I must stay." "Whore." "Haven't you all ridiculed me enough?" "You'll see, one day I'll..." "You'll, what?" "I'll kill Ben Webster." "No, Ringo." "This is the life I've chosen and I can't change it." "But we can meet whenever you want." "I'm going." "Where?" "Anywhere where I don't have to think about you." "And if you can't?" "I'll come back, if I'm alive." "Please, Ringo." "Stay." "Please." "No." "No." "That filly is coming along very well." "Hey, they're here." "Well?" "Tell me?" "Don't just stand there, say something." "Congratulations, you're a grandfather." "You mean I'll have a grandchild?" "Yes." "George, we have to celebrate." "Now." "Go and tell Lowell, tell everyone." "My son's going to have a son, this is the best day of my life." "What if it's a girl?" "It doesn't matter." "The second one will surely be a boy." "Take my horse, go to Brentford for the milk." "I have to get the shop ready before the new equipment arrives." "Yes, daddy." "And don't go too fast, he's a tempremental horse." "What's happening?" "Help." "Mark!" "I guarantee you my grandson will be two metres tall." "What am I saying?" "Much taller!" "Stop talking rubbish, you look like a fool." "But I am a fool, the happiest fool in the world." "It shows." "Some tea?" "You said it." "Ned." "You're late, how come?" "They killed Mark." "Those bastards, they killed Mark." "Where?" "When?" "How did it happen?" "Damn them." "Mark is the tenth victim in less than six months." "The more I think about it, the more it seems impossible." "Who can it be?" "And why?" "Let's talk about it." "Come next door." "I'm so sorry." "Why didn't you listen to me?" "We could've done something." "Defend ourselves." "My son might still be alive today." "I understand." "You can't understand, it was my turn..." "It was my turn." "I should've been riding that horse." "I was the one they wanted to kill." "Doesn't this mean anything to you?" "We need to talk about it." "They've killed everyone who was..." "We had an agreement." "We agreed we wouldn't talk about it..." "Because we were ashamed." "In only we'd talked about it, perhaps we could have prevented all this?" "We must have killed fifty people that day, Able..." "Many of them women and children." "We took their land." "We didn't buy it." "There's no doubt now." "It's their revenge." "Why?" "Why wait so long?" "If they had killed your son, raped your wife..." "Would you have forgotten?" "They won't rest until..." "Until they've killed all of us." "Able, Luke and I held that woman while you raped her..." "And her daughter watched." "You and Ben must leave while you can still travel." "You'll stay in a real hospital, far from danger." "It's a good idea." "Then we're agreed." "I've decided as well, my answer is no." "Be reasonable." "I'm a Webster." "My son will be a Webster, he'll be born on his land." "It's what I always hoped for, but the situation here has changed." "For your own good, and the child..." "Let's go away." "My son will be born here." "There won't be peace for us until our vendetta is complete." "Yes, great father." "Condor, my tribe is impatient." "We all are, Black Eagle." "We will obey the sacred stone." "We must respect our promise." "Consult the black stone." "The black stone says death to the last two murderers." "Death." "We'll return to our land soon." "Manitou listens." "Our people will lose the battle..." "If we don't act now." "Go." "Be careful, dear." "I'm not made of porcelain." "I noticed." "It's not wise to laugh at a woman in my condition." "You aren't a woman, you're my wife..." "And I like pulling your leg." "We used to make them ourselves in my day." "Because you didn't have the money to buy them." "Have you seen Ezidera?" "She was just here..." "But who knows where she is now?" "Not even the devil could be close to that crazy mystic." "If I were you I would've sent her away a long time ago." "But you're not me." "What happend to you?" "(cut)" "I tried, Cathy..." "But I couldn't do it." "I can't live without you." "I need you." "There hasn't been a day or night when I haven't thought of you." "I did everything I could to forget you." "God knows I tried." "Damn it." "Why didn't you let me know when I was in Arizona?" "Why did you do this to me?" "Tell me, is it his?" "Or.." "I told you I'd give Ben a son." "You haven't answered my question." "My son must be a Webster." "With the blood of a Hammond?" "With the name of a Webster." "We'd better do it soon." "No, his leg's still swollen." "I don't want the horse to suffer." "Should I take something to Catherine?" "No, she's still resting." "So she should, in her condition." "Instead of running around like a..." "Alice, that's enough." "I went to the river yesterday, the land is ready for seeding." "We need the men here." "It's calm now..." "We could reduce the guards." "No, it might still be dangerous." "He'll leave, he'll never come back." "He'll never come back, there, he's leaving." "He's going away forever." "Leave her alone, you can ask her this." "You must forget about Ringo." "Forget about Ringo." "Willy, Crawford." "What is it?" "Someone's trying to break into the Hammond's ranch." "You two block the exits, hurry." "Who did it?" "Who?" "Hands up, bastard." "Drink, Cathy, you'll feel better." "I don't believe it, I know him." "Ringo wouldn't..." "You must rest." "No." "I want to see Ringo." "There's no point discussing this amongst ourselves." "There's a sheriff for these things." "He has the right to a fair trial." "But he's guilty." "Smith is right..." "I'm with him." "I'm not." "I mean the noose isn't enough for a coward like him." "That's enough, what do you think, Able?" "If he's guilty, he'll be hanged." "But he'll have a fair trial in Ryan city." "Now let's all go home and have a drink." "I want to see Ringo." "No, it's better you don't." "I know him well, he didn't do it." "Then why didn't he say anything?" "He might tell me." "He's scared." "And if he confesses?" "Then I'll tell you." "Okay, tell Willy I agree." "You shouldn't let her see him." "Catherine has the right to speak to him." "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, Catherine is a Webster now." "Let's give her the chance to find out the truth." "Be careful." "Leave us alone." "I say we have to take him to Ryan city immediately." "He's crazy, everyone said he wasn't all there." "We don't have any proof." "But we caught him in the act." "Try to remain calm." "It was him, he killed them." "Why did he do it?" "Why?" "Don't you see?" "He's insane..." "He's not responsible for what he does." "Leave me alone, I'm not well." "Please, Ben, I need to be alone." "What are you waiting for?" "Take him to Ryan city." "We'll take him tomorrow." "Why?" "I want to talk to him first." "It's your ranch, do what you want." "Let's just hope he doesn't escape or cause anymore trouble." "He won't escape." "If Ringo is insane, well, we don't hang lunatics." "Isn't that right, Ned?" "Ringo told me everything." "Then why did you say he did it?" "Don't you understand?" "Yes." "It had to be like this." "If they hurt him, no one here will be able to stop me doing what I want." "Is that clear?" "And..." "What do you want from me?" "Ringo will escape tonight..." "You must help him." "But they'll kill him." "No one will ever think he's hiding in our attic." "Yes, Ms. Catherine." "Mr. Webster, Ringo's escaped." "Gather the men, he can't be far." "Send Crawford to warn the others." "This time we'll hang him here, on the Webster ranch." "...and if you take Catherine away, and the son you gave her." "What did you say?" "You understood." "It hurts my heart to see Catherine crying for you..." "And for your son." "She only pretends to be nice to the websters to get the inheritance." "Why?" "Why does the wind blow impetuously from the east and carry away the leaves?" "It's not our job to ask questions." "There is no why?" "There is no reason." "Catherine won't stay in this house a moment longer." "Don't be so impulsive, like always." "My son cannot be born here." "Wait!" "Perhaps there is a way to resolve everything." "Listen, after you've eaten I'll prepare a horse for you..." "In the large stable." "Catherine will be waiting there for you." "I'll distract the guards so you can escape through the forest." "The time has come." "I'll get the doctor." "My son won't be born here, he isn't a Webster, he's a Hammond." "He's a Hammond, understand?" "He's mine." "I'll kill you." "Bastard." "Ringo, get away." "Yes, but you're coming with me." "It's impossible, I can't." "No, this time I'm not leaving without you." "I have to stay here." "Go." "No, now you'll do as I say." "I don't want to go." "You love me, you killed Ben for me." "Please." "Go!" "What's wrong?" "Have you gone mad?" "What's wrong?" "Tell me." "Call the others." "I want to know the truth." "The barn." "Hurry." "Run, Ringo." "Run!" "Ringo." "You'll pay for this, all of you..." "You'll pay for this!" "The Indian's are coming." "There are hundreds of them in the forest." "I'm worried we won't make it." "There's no reason to panic." "We can hold out until reinforcements arrive." "Bob should've made it to Ryan City by now." "Unless they got him." "What shall we do, Mr. Webster?" "He followed the river..." "He should be there now." "He won't see the Indians..." "They stab you in the back and disappear." "If the reinforcements don't arrive soon one of us will have to try." "They won't take me alive, I'll shoot myself and my wife." "Try to remain calm, it's the only way to get out of this alive." "If we do make it, I swear I'll leave this damned place." "Don't any of you try to persuade me to stay." "I told you five years ago, this isn't the life for us..." "It's all your fault." "Shut up." "What's going on?" "You must listen to me, now." "Our children have paid for what we did that day." "It was Ringo." "It was Ringo." "It's written in the holy bible..." "The Lord will send an avenging angel to punish those who have betrayed him." "We have sinned, we must die." "Lord, forgive me." "It's a boy." "It's a boy." "But he's..." "An Indian, yes." "That's impossible." "An Indian was born to a Webster." "An Indian who will return this land to his people." "Whore." "You slept with an Indian." "No, Ben Webster slept with an Indian, just like Able Webster twenty years ago." "In front of Izidra, my sister." "While my people were massacred, our village destroyed..." "And our land stolen by my father, Able." "You're a pig." "A dirty pig." "I never wanted to believe the rumours in the village..." "Able Webster, you've betrayed the people who trusted you." "People who were prepared to die for you and your ranch." "Catherine's right, you must pay for what you've done to us." "Damned bastard." "Put down your guns." "My people won't hurt you." "Subtitled by Able Webster and the Merry Pranksters."
