"How old was little Sarah Elizabeth?" "She was just shy of a year." "Lined with blue velvet." "Yeah." "Yeah, she'd like that." "This'll do, Mr. Goodpasture." "I'll give you some time." "She'll rest easy in that." "Yeah." "Poor little girl." "Do you think me and Sarah Elizabeth will recognize each other when I get to heaven?" "I suspect your brothers are taking care of her, you'll recognize them." "They done murder." "They might not get there." "We need to go." " It's Ransom." " Oh!" " You sent for me?" " Saddle the horses." "I got me a tip about three good Christian Hatfields we gonna apprehend." "We go now, cross the river quick, they won't have time to hide." "I'll round up the men posthaste." "You coming?" " He will be." "Ah!" "Ah!" " Yeah, come on!" "Unh!" "#... washed in the blood of the lamb #" "# Are you fully trusting In His grace this hour?" "#" " Brother." " That's Tom Chambers, get him." "What is this?" "His brothers." "There he is, him too." " You can't do this." " Who's the next one?" "What is this?" "This is a house of God." "Ma'am." "Let's get out of here, boys." "# Are you washed in the blood?" "#" "# In the soul... #" "Whoa." "Whoa." "What's all the ruckus?" "Folks are celebrating Mr. Phillips' success." "He hasn't caught Devil Anse yet." "He's poorly." "Got pleurisy." "Jim." "Ain't you a sorry sight." "Want I should come back later?" "Speak your mind." "Phillips' gang raided services at the Tug Fork church." "Seized Tom Chambers, and the Mahon brothers." "Smacked Preacher Garrett for no apparent reason." "Anse, they are shoving it in our face." "Yeah." "Any word from your man, John B. Floyd?" "Governor Windy ain't doing shit." "Too busy letting lawyers get in his ear." "Getting his back up against these New York muckrakers calling us a savage mountain tribe." "It's up to us, like always." "What do you propose?" "Cut off the head of the snake." "Be awful treacherous going after Frank Phillips." "He's got an army around him." "No, he's..." "He's the fangs." "We gotta kill Randall McCoy." "I'm Attorney Perry Cline, Esquire." "I represent you till the court deems it necessary to appoint a public defender." "You think we got a better chance if we keep you on as our lawyer?" "Well, it's up to you." "I do know the circumstances of the case better than anyone." "Yeah." "Now, these stamped envelopes are to contact your family members to assure them you're being well-treated." "And to arrange payment of my retainer." "It's $50 cash, receivable at my office." "You killed my sons." "Your murdering sons." "Not guilty till proved innocent." "Men like you who deserved a fair trial." "I pray you hang." "I will supply the lumber for the gallows and I will tie the knot on your rope." "And when your neck snaps, I will rejoice as you are sent to boil in eternal damnation's hellfire." "A merry Christmas to you too, sir." "You all right, Ma?" "You hear that?" "Hear what?" "Shh." "They'll come from over there." "Who will?" "Hatfields." "They'll come from over there." "Ma, Hatfields..." "Ma, Hatfields hiding out from Bad Frank." "They ain't gonna come across this side of the river." "Let's go inside, huh?" "No one's coming tonight." "It's not tonight I speak of." "We're hunted like animals by hired trash." "Uh-huh." "Family and friends kidnapped and murdered, the law stood by." "Law's done nothing." "Even so, if there was anything..." "Anything I had that by giving it..." "I could end this bloody struggle, I would give it gladly." "I would give my life if it would end this." "He would not." "What I will not give... is one more drop of this family's blood." "So tonight... this New Year's Eve we end this forever." "I's with you, Mr. Hatfield." "You ain't coming, Billy." "You ain't ready." "Thank the stars, I ain't too late." "Lots of time, Johnse." "We all just waiting for your pa to finish his coughing fit." "We can be there by dawn... make our approach with the sun at our backs." "Time of the morning, the day it is, they won't expect nothing." "We harm no one we don't have to." "Once Randall sees how it is, he'll surrender himself to protect the others from harm." "We take him alive." "Thought we was getting rid of him." "Once Randall McCoy is extradited as our prisoner-of-war... we execute him here, in West Virginia." "The state where he committed his crimes... as is proper." "Unh!" "I'm not dizzy." "Stepped on a stone or something." "Yeah, I know." "We still gotta get you to the doc." "No, there's no time." "You're too sick, Pa." "We can do this." "Okay." "Damn." "Anse... it'd be a worthless trip if you start coughing like that and give us all away." "No one but Randall taken." "And him not harmed." "Him not harmed." "Or you answer to me." "All right, y'all, saddle up." "Go to bed, Anse, we'll get Randall." "MAN 2;" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "MAN 3;" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Randall." "Wake up." "They're here." "Shh." "Ah!" "What is it, Poppy?" "Get them children down." "Get down." "Get down." "Go on, go on." "May hell be my heaven," "I will kill any man who goes back on me." "This powder will burn." "All right, as planned, go on now, go on." "Pa said just Randall." "We take him back over the Tug to West Virginia." "You think Randall McCoy's gonna let himself get took live?" "We gotta try." "Randall McCoy!" "Your final day has dawned!" "Save your family." "Surrender yourself." "You hear me?" "Your final day has dawned." "Jim." "Jim." "We got all sides covered now." "Every door, window and rat hole." "Ain't nobody gonna get out without us seeing them." "Who's got the back?" "Cotton Top." "Ugh." "Johnse's with him." "All right, I'll go check them out." "We got your whole farm surrounded, McCoy." " Might as well come on out." " Get down." "Do it now and we spare your family." "I seen that Jim Vance." "Cap Hatfield and others out of sight taking cover." "How many?" "Fifteen, probably more." "Go on, go on." "Get behind and sit." "Go on." "Don't shoot unless they do, or someone charges." "Can't get a good shot noways." "Shh!" "Shh." "Sorry." "I got this tune stuck in my head." "Where's Johnse?" "He said to watch the back is all I know." "Don't let no one out." "Watch the back." "Randall McCoy... come on out and face the day or else I have to burn your house down." "You want your little ones consumed in fire?" "Shh." "They're all right." "Don't listen." "Their wee bodies a-hissing and a-steaming?" "Randall!" "Go out the back." "Run for the woods." "I gotta go out there." "If I can get a showdown with Jim, maybe the others will back down." "Randall, he'll shoot you down like it was nothing." "I'm begging you, husband, slip out the back while you can." "If they know you're gone, they'll leave us be." "Cotton Top, what's that?" "Hold your fire!" "Get down." "Get down." "Hold on!" "Goddamn it, I ain't gave the order yet." "Hold on!" "I said, hold your fire!" "What the hell?" "Cotton started shooting." "Must've seen McCoy stick his head out." "Well, go find out." "Hey, my pa's not here!" "He stayed over in Pikeville last night!" "I said for him to come out!" "He's not here!" "Ain't nobody in here but me, except women and childrens!" "Randall!" "We're all waiting for you!" "He's not here!" "Heavenly Father, spare my family and smite my enemy." "I beg of you, have mercy in our hour of need." "Have mercy, Lord Jesus." "He..." "We said let nobody out the back." "Nobody out the back." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "Just courtesy is what is it." " You son of a bitch!" " Get back here." "We gotta get the fire down." "We need more water." "Use the buttermilk." "You're burning woman and children, you coward!" "What kind of devil are you, Devil Anse?" "!" "Alifair!" "Now you listen to me, you get Ma and the kids out the back, all right?" "Mama, come on, let's go." "Go on, get them out!" "Mind the babies, Alifair, I'll be along." "Ma." "Go, go, go!" "Don't stop." "Go on." "Go on, Fanny." "You gotta go back inside." "Keep going." " Get back inside." " Aah!" "It ain't allowed." "I let them..." "I let them out the back." "You got one." "That's good enough." "It ain't allowed." "I want Randall McCoy!" "Well, you got his son!" "Unh!" "Poppy." "Poppy." "Hey." "Fanny." "Come here." "Where's your mother?" "Alifair got hurt." "Hold your fire." "What the hell are you doing?" "Crazy stupid bitch." "I was having a dream when Sally said, "They're here."" "I heard Jim Vance yelling:" ""Randall McCoy, come out and face the day."" "It was me they was after." "Can you lean your head back?" "I need to look in your eyes." "I told Sally, "I gotta go out there."" "She said, "You do, they'll kill you." "Try and get out the back." "Me and the children, we'll be safe when you're gone."" "I want Rosie." "I know, honey." "It's gonna be all right." "I want my Rosie." "I know, sweetheart." "I lit out and made for the woods." "Then I heard the shooting." "After a while, I seen the smoke." "Then I saw the children." "Children told me" "Alifair was leading them away from the fire when they shot her." "I took them deeper in the woods." "We knelt and we prayed." "When I got back, they was gone." "The house was on fire." "I seen the devil in that fire." "He was walking around, laughing at me." "Mr. Phillips." "Plain as day, he was laughing." "You gotta see this." "Sally was laying on the ground next to Calvin." "I picked her up and I held her in my arms for I don't know how long." "And when I next looked up, he was here." "Your son Jim is on his way to get the kids." "You and Mrs. McCoy will stay in my house." "I prayed to a merciful God who showed us no mercy." "His will, Randall, not ours, be done." "This is his Will?" "My children dead, and my wife hurt, and my house burned?" "Where was God?" "If this is his will, what kind of God is that?" "What kind of God is that?" "Let's get you here on the wagon." "Shot McCoy girl." "Looks like she seen a devil." "Whatever we want now." "Rules are done." "Hey, Charles." "Oh." "What?" "You know, looking at this family, peacefully feeding, reminds a body why we kill McCoys." "Excuse me?" "Sit down, sit down." "It didn't turn out so well." "Tell me." "That goddamn half-wit, Cotton turd..." "Hey." "Oh, this probably ain't fit for the ears of young'uns." "Oh, my." "Take your brothers." "Let's go." "Go." "Shut the door behind you." "Just say it." "Our foray against old Randall was interfered with by family members." "While ole Randall's running scared like a jackrabbit, his heir, Calvin," "come charging us, shooting with deadly intent." "Had no choice but to kill him." "You said "family."" "Ah." "One of ole Randall's older daughters, um... she'd gotten away and got killed accidental." "There may have been others." "We tried to burn them out." "All unforeseen, Anse." "You know, your boy Cap, he done good now." "And Randall got away." "Yup." "And what of Randall's wife?" "She run mad." "Barreled straight at me in her dishabille." "And?" "Yeah, I..." "I laid her in the back of the ear with my rifle butt." "I believe she's done." "What do we do now, Jim?" "Hm?" "Kill them all?" "Reverend, what is it?" "Ma'am, I have some terrible news." "You couldn't tell me what you and your butchering family did this time, could you?" "!" "Stop it." "Stop it." "Could you?" "!" "Goddamn it, stop it!" "Horrible." "Horrible!" "Just horrible." "How could any man on God's green earth do something so horrible?" "It wasn't me." "How'?" "!" "Goddamn it, Uncle Jim and them was trying of get rid of Randall McCoy so all this fighting gets stopped." "Their intentions was right." "Oh, their intentions." "Like you wasn't a part of it." "Even if I was there, don't mean I participated in any killing." "Like people said I was on that firing squad that killed Tolbert..." "You were on that firing squad." "Everybody knows!" "I raised my gun, I missed on purpose." "Last night was no different." "You were there." "You were." "You helped Jim Vance murder my entire family." "Oh, hell, no, I didn't." "You know, it made me sick." "Hell, if I knew they was gonna do such," "I'd have never gone." "It was that weak-brained Cotton Top shot Alifair." "Jim Vance is celebrating now." "Oh, hell no, he ain't." "Pa sent him and Cap over Thacker Mountain to lay low a while." "He's a-hunting deer up Big Muncie Creek trying to put food on the goddamn table." "Because our family can't even go to a store without some McCoy bounty hunter ambushing us." "Come on, hey, hey." "You know what?" "Let's pack the hell up." "Let's pack the hell up." "Let's go west." "Just get..." "Get away from all this grief, misery." "It's tearing us apart." "Go away with me, Nance?" "Let's go, let's go." "I'll be in Pikeville... with a real man." "Me and Frank Phillips... we're getting married." "T.C. Crawford from the New York World." "I have a few questions about the origin of this feud." "No feud, not from how I see it." "Well, how would you describe it, sir?" "A many-year campaign of swindling and murder against my family." "By Anse Hatfield and his clan?" "Devil Anse Hatfield." "Governor Wilson of West Virginia has said the men arrested for your sons' murders were taken illegally." "There was an error of paperwork, our courts will adjudicate." "My house burned was no paper error." "No court can resolve my daughter, my son shot dead, my wife so grievous injured." "Atrocities that a just God would not allow." "May we take a photograph, sir?" "Your weapon." "I want you to hold it, please." "Our readers will really appreciate this." " Can you hold it please?" " Hold the gun up a little bit higher." "It's all right, Randall." "Shows we're serious about justice." "You look righteous, sir." "There's going to be a flash." "Sally, you still getting them headaches?" "You all right?" "Hey, Mama." "Hey, it's Roseanna." "Rosie?" "Anything you need?" "She's all right." "Oh, Mama." "I know where you can find Jim Vance." "Ha, ha." "Yeah?" "Tell me about it." "Uh-huh." "Don't alter your pace, don't look about." "There's men concealed in them trees up ahead of us." "Who is he, Phillips?" "Most likely." "Should've killed that goddamn fox years ago." "Look here, Cap, when all this starts, you not being dead, you break downhill." "You understand, son?" "Yes, sir." "Skedaddle!" "Unh!" "Stay down, Jim!" "Run, Cap, run!" "No sense the both of us eating these bastards' bullets!" "Get down." "Aah!" "Unh!" "Jim!" "Goddamn it, boy!" "I said, get!" "Or else I'll come back from hell and tan your hide!" "Jim!" "One down." "Watch out." "Give me that damn rifle." "Argh!" "Sidle round." "Shit." "Son of a bitch." "Leave him be, he's mine!" "I'm terrible sorry, Howls, Jr." "So sorry." "I do believe this is the end of the line." "I'll be right behind you, boy." "Right behind you." "Don't shoot." "Not yet." "Time to meet your maker." "Which way you gonna go, Uncle Jim?" "Unh!" "You got my damn boots all dusty." "It's Cap, he's hurt." "Mr. Hatfield, Mr. Hatfield." "Mr. Hatfield, Cap got shot." "Jesus, what happened?" "Get away from him." "Posse got Uncle Jim." "All right." "Bad Frank shot him in an ambush." "Unh!" "Killed his dog, shot me." "There ain't no lead in there, Mama." "All right." "All right." "I'm all right." "You say they got Jim, where is he?" "Where is he, Cap?" "I'm sorry, they..." "He's dead, Pa." "They took his body." "All right, all right, all right." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "Uncle Jim." "Where Johnse at?" "He at his cabin?" "Bad Frank is gonna probably hit him next." "I'll get some boys to ride by Johnse, make sure he's all right." "Take him to the stream to wash off that blood and dirt." "I'll get some tincture and bandages." "How'd he know where he was, Pa?" "Huh?" "Your snoring used to keep me awake." "Now it's the silence." "My mind won't rest." "You're thinking about Uncle Jim?" "I always thought someday I'd have to..." "Have to kill him myself." "Well... it's a miracle Cap wasn't killed too." "Only two people knew where Jim and Cap had gone." "Where they'd be that day." "Who?" "Me... and Johnse." "Well, how do you know that?" "Anybody could have said something." "I know." "I know." "No, Cap or Jim could have..." "I know because I made sure." "Johnse is no Judas." "No, he's not, but people have died, Levicy." "You can't say you didn't have a part in that." "Now I'll have to live with..." "But we both know our boy is not a careful person... especially around women." "What do you intend to do?" "Get some sleep." "Anderson?" "You should too." "Yeah, good boy." "Hey, Daddy." "How long you been standing there?" "A while." "Where were you the other day?" "Oh, I was up in Boone County making a delivery." "You know..." "You, uh..." "You going to work this morning?" "Thought you and me might go fishing." "Today?" "When you're finished there, saddle my horse." "All right." "What are you doing?" "Me and Johnse are gonna have a talk." "I have to know what that means." "You think I mean him harm?" "I need to hear otherwise." "I will hear you say it." "I'm taking him fishing, Levicy." "So long, big brother." "You sure you don't wanna fish?" "I'm going to." "Remember the last time you brought me out to this old fishing hole?" "I don't recall that." "I do." "I know because I was in that willow tree over there up on that limb." "You recall what you said to me?" "I do." "You said if I fell in, I was gonna scare the fish." "And once I was in, chances of you getting me out weren't good on account that you were not partial to cold water." "You recall having said that?" "Well, I believe I just coaxed a laugh out of you, Pa." "Goddamn, I don't remember the last time I seen that." "It's too bad about you and the McCoy girl." "Which one?" "The one that ran off with the man that killed your Uncle Jim." "You recall pretty good, Johnse." "Anything you wanna say to me?" "I know I shouldn't have trusted her, I know that for damn sure." "You know, I hate all this." "I always have." "I think all I ever wanted to do was play." "Just laugh and play." "It seems like nobody around here ever laughs anymore." "Except maybe when a McCoy gets maimed or killed." "You know, it must be a trial for you, Daddy." "Me not being like you." "You are who you are, Johnse." "No, what I mean is, everybody looks up to you." "I mean, even your older brothers." "You know, there ain't..." "There ain't nobody to look up to me." "Hell, there are those that say Cotton Top is of more use." "I don't know how to be in this family." "I mean, I got..." "I got all the memories, you know, I know all that's happened." "I just..." "I don't have the hate that comes with being a Hatfield." "You know, I look up at that sky, Pa, and those clouds going by." "I know they're headed somewhere different than what we got here." "I seen these pictures and these stories about Oregon." "Man, they got these millions of trees to be logged." "I mean, even more than here." "Wild rivers with fish as long as your arm." "No McCoys to shoot at or get shot by." "It's heaven on earth." "That's what that is." "That's where I aim to go." "You won't outrun yourself in Oregon, Johnse." "Can I ask you a question?" "If I would have fell in that day, scared those fish... would you have let me drown?" "There's a big old bear." "Johnse bagged him when he come up behind us." "I never seen him." "That boy always did have quick reflexes." "He just too damn handsome for his own good." "You know, he's a lot like his daddy, except for the handsome part." "Boy's nothing like me." "What brings you out this frosty morn?" "Well..." "I got news about our appeal." "Governor Windy's taking it all the way to the United States Supreme Court." "Now we gonna be in the law books, maybe get our boys out of jail back in their homes where they belong." "Anybody who Knows anything about jurisprudence says there ain't no doubt." "Only one thing gonna resolve this, big brother, and it ain't Miss Jurisprudence." "I don't know what you're planning here, but all this damn bloodshed and killing's gotta stop." "Uncle Jim was the last straw." "I'm turning myself in." "You insane?" "Then blaggards will shoot you down." "I already sent word to Perry Cline." "Perry Cline." "You think that skunk will keep his word?" "It's done, Anse." "I'm gonna fight this thing the best way I know how." "I'm gonna fight it in a courtroom." "Yeah, in a Kentucky courtroom." "But not with a damn gun." "Well, guns never failed me, Wall." "Not like judges and lawyers." "It's gonna be the way it's always been between you and me, little brother." "You're gonna handle things your way and I'm gonna do them my way." "Wall, I never told you about something I said to Ellison." "Maybe the last thing he remembered, maybe not, but it's haunted me ever since." "So right now I don't wanna..." "Right now I don't wanna say something to you I'm gonna regret." "You ain't got no cause to worry about that, Anse." "Get along there, boy." "Hey." "I'll be seeing you right after I leave Miss Jurisprudence." "Ha!" "Go on." "Get over here." "Look who's coming to town." "Oh, my Lord." "Look who's here." "My name is Justice Wall Hatfield." "I've surrendered myself on a Kentucky warrant for due process of the law." "Hatfield, you are under arrest." "I'm turning myself in, Phillips, you'll collect no bounty on me." "Give me some of that, crazy lady." "Don't you spit at me." "No, I ain't gonna do that." "No, not now." "Hey, you mind if I borrow my boss from you, ma'am?" "Logan Banner." "Says Hatfield's getting ready for war again." "Buying every hardware store in three states out of guns and ammo." "Hillbilly dirt rag." "Means nothing." "You need a drink." "Mr. Cline, what's your pleasure?" "Already got a fine libation." "I understand we're celebrating more than the capture of Wall Hatfield." "Meet Mrs. Frank Phillips." "Congratulations." "Mr. Phillips?" "Mr. Phillips." "A mob of Hatfields is forming over at Mate Creek." "Devil Anse himself at the lead." "Looks like they're a-fixing to ride this way." "Hatfield's busting his relatives out of jail." "We gotta stop them, Frank." "Round up the deputies." "Enlist every able-bodied man you can." "Yes, sir." "Come on." " Let's go." " Come on." "About time I see Devil Anse." "We got this, Mr. Cline, we got this." "Kill them." "Yes, ma'am." "Every single one." " Let's go." " Yeah." "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "All right, let's go." "The law be damned." "Hatfields be damned." "God be damned." "Damn you all to perdition." "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Get down." "Hatfield!" "McCoy!" "Hatfield!" "Fire!" "Hatfield!" "Get your old man back." "He gonna be the first one killed." "Get over here." "We need more men." "Yeah!" "Trying to get yourself killed?" " Leave me be!" " I need help." "Kill them all!" "Kill them all!" "Go." "Shoo." "Go." "You all right there, Pop?" "Yeah, go on." "He's shot." "Damn it!" "Let's go!" "Goddamn it." "Here!" "He's here!" "Oh!" "Unh!" "Come back." "Come back and fight!" "Mine." "Unh!" "Oh, heck." "I didn't mean to." "Get out of here." "Billy." "Find cover and stay put." " Go." "Go." " Go." "It's a trap!" "It's a..." "Hey!" "Get back!" "Get everybody back to the horses!" "Anse." "We gotta get out of here, Anse." "They're flanking us on both sides." "Son." "Cap!" "Cap!" "What?" "Pass the word, we're pulling out!" "We're pulling out!" "Move!" "Joe!" "Help me here with Billy." "I'm taking him home to his mama." "Let's go!" "They're quitting the field." " Let's go." " Come on." "Oh, call out to him." "When he stands up, I'll blow his head off." "Hold off!" "We got us a prisoner." "They don't." "I give up." "Means we won the day." "Go get him!" "We won." "I won." "Bless the baby Jesus." "You all right?" "Move!" "Stand up." "Come on, get." "Just a few steps more." "Doctor said it was good for you to walk." "The room is not right." "I know, Mama." "It's Perry Cline's house, that's why it looks different." "Here." "I don't like Perry Cline." "I know, Mama." "After I die..." "I would like my body destroyed by electricity." "Can you remember that, Roseanna?" "Yes, Mama." "I don't like Perry Cline." "I know, Mama." "Uncle Randall?" "Randall, we're here." "The hell are you doing here?" "Frank Phillips asked me to take you to Mr. Cline's house." "You disgust me." "How's your mother, Roseanne?" "She's, uh..." "She's better in some ways." "She's not right yet." "I hear tell you're sick as well." "Yeah." "We was friends, Nancy." "Why'd you hurt me the way you did?" "You hurt yourself taking up with Johnse." "Me marrying him just saved you a whole lot of pain." "You love him?" "I never did." "I hate him." "Just like all the demon Hatfields." "Me and Johnse was never nothing against you." "It was just plain old revenge." "Swore to killing Hatfields when I was young." "Revenge is all I got inside of me." "Yah!" "Good news, judge." "The supreme court has ruled, incorrectly, I believe, that taking you people without West Virginia's consent was illegal." "So we're going free?" " You hear that?" "We're going free." " Selkirk... a lawyer's smile promises more to come." "Court also ruled, properly this time, that since you're already in Kentucky, as long as you're legally re-arrested, you can be brought to trial." "Mr. Phillips." "Gentlemen, y'all under arrest." "It's your daughter Roseanna." "I'm coming up behind you." "I'm standing next to you." "You see me, Poppy?" "You hear my voice?" "I hear you." "Dead children." "A dead grandchild." "A mad wife." "Anybody would think you'd embrace a still living daughter." "When I was a little girl, you once told me I was your favorite." "I lived on that for years." "Just that tiny bit of approval... made me believe I could do anything in this world." "Because for all your preaching, and all your praying... in our house, you were God." "Here, let me take that for you." "You're looking particularly pale today." "You well?" "Yeah." "Thanks for asking." "Roseanna." "You know, my offer of years ago... it still stands." "Oh, Perry, you don't want me, I'm all used up." "Don't say that." "I do want you." "I just wanna make you happy." "Take care of you." "I should probably just do these dishes up and..." "You know, I've always loved you." "Roseanne." "Roseanna!" "Roseanna." "Randall!" "Doc!" "Roseanna!" " Roseanna." " She's not moving!" "She fell!" "I don't understand." "Randall, get in here!" "Oh, my God!" "Roseanna, can you hear me?" " She's bleeding!" " Oh, no, no." "What's wrong with her?" "There, there, Mother." "It'll be fine, just fine." "Doc Rutherford says this hospital in Lexington can help you." "You must let your heart break." "Only when the most innocent part of you suffers, can there be change." "Else, nothing remains of you." " She able to talk today, Randall?" " She speaks, but her words carry no meaning." "An improvement on all the wailing and rabbit noises." "You're not sending me away to get better." "You're sending me away so you can go to hell with Perry Cline." "Yah." "Is it true that I murdered her in the first degree?" "Alifair McCoy." "You murdered her." "Did anyone tell you to say this?" "You said to say that no one did." "You mean no one told you to say anything?" "Only that I murdered her in the first degree." "I beg the court... my client's nothing but a poor simple-minded fool." "Born that way." "Now, he admits his guilt and throws himself on the mercy of the court." "Wall Hatfield, life in prison." "Selkirk McCoy, life in prison." "Alex Messer, life in prison." ""Cotton Top" Ellison Mounts... death by hanging." "That's fine because Devil Anse, Cap, and all of them are gonna come at midnight all armed and terrible."
