"From the great spirit comes a unifying force that flows through all living things." "Through this, we are all relatives." "As I dance, I remember my friend." "Most men knew him as James Conners." "I know him as Shadowheart." "This is the most beautiful place in the whole wide world." "How do you know?" "You've never been anywhere else." "I don't need to go anywhere else." "I just know." "Not me." "I'm gonna see the world." "Well, better get back to town." "Let's go." "Come on." "I'll race you to the horse." "Okay!" " James!" " Yes, Father?" "I've been looking all over for you." "I'm right here." "Yes, I can see that." "Bring me that can of paint, would ya?" " Goodbye, Mary." " Bye, James." "Matthew..." "Chapter 6, verse 14 and 15." "Go." ""For if ye forgive men their sins," "Your heavenly Father will also forgive you."" "Go on." ""But if ye forgive not men their sins, neither will your heavenly Father forgive your sins."" "You know King James almost as well as I do." "Do you understand it?" "If I did, we wouldn't need preachers." "Fair, fair enough." "Your mother, God rest her soul, would be very proud of you, James." "Yes, Father." "All right." "Go on back to the house." "Finish your chores and come back here." "Come straight back here." "I need help with the cross." "Go on." "Hey, not bad." " How many tries?" " Eh, I stopped counting after 12." "Hey, James, let's see who can stick the knife in the post the most times without missing." "Can't." "Got chores to do." "Come on." "Here, you go first." "Hey, James." "Dang!" "Why do all churches have to be white?" "Tunney." "I mean, why not blue?" "Red?" "Why not a red church, Preacher?" "It's not what's on the outside that matters." "It's what's on the inside." "It's the inside, I like that." "Yeah." "You might want to include that in your sermon, Preacher." "What do you want, Tunney?" "Well, you've been paying the note on this property to a Mr. Rusty Knudsen, yeah?" "Right." " For about five years now." " Uh-huh." "And it appears that Mr. Knudsen had himself what you might call a stroke of bad luck last night at the poker table, and I had me what you might call a streak of good luck." "And I now own that deed." "Rusty was a patient man." "Gave me time to pay it off." "I never been one for the whole... patience thing." "It just kinda slows down the future and in my future, I can see in my future... that I'm foreclosing on your property if you don't pay me in full in the next two days." "You can't do that, Tunney." "Well..." "I can even do it in one day, Preacher." "I built this church with my two hands." "Yeah." "And fine job you done too." "Except for the lack of color... and the fact that you built it on my land." "This is a struggling parish." "Where are we gonna get that kinda money?" "Well... you could try praying." "I am not gonna lose this church... to a man who runs with prostitutes!" "Not a lot of running, mostly lying." "Yeah." "You know what?" "You just got yourself one day, Preacher." "I'm thinking" "I'm thinking a nice burgundy red." "Yeah." "What was that?" "Oh" "You" "Father!" "Father!" "I'm sorry, James." "I'm so sorry." "Remember what I taught you." "Forgive men their sins and the Almighty will forgive you yours." "Seek not vengeance." "No good can c..." "Father, no!" "No!" "I'm sorry, folks." "Let me through." "Oh God." " What happened here, Tunney?" " It was an honest mistake, Sheriff." "You see... me and the preacher, we was having a powwow about uh... uh..." "some money he owes me." "And then I turn my back, he pulls out his hammer." "I think he gonna throw it at me." "I mean, we all know what a temper he has," "So..." "I shoot him in self-defense." "I wasn't aware that Preacher Conners had a temper problem." "Well, he did." "Yes, sir." "So am I under arrest, Sheriff, or what?" "We have any witnesses?" "We have any witnesses here?" " Anybody see this?" " I saw it, Sheriff." " Me too." " I seen the whole thing." " It happened exactly like he said." " Just like Will here said." "You sure?" "Yes, sir." " Yep." " Well, that be that then." "Mind if I have my gun back?" "Sheriff?" "Merci beaucoup." "And you know where to find me." "Uh, boys, I don't know your names, but I'd like to buy you a drink." "All righty." "Whoa whoa whoa." "Lord have mercy, look at you." "Just come here." "You're an angel from above, hmm?" "Mighty fine bone structure." "Tell me, what's your name, little girl?" "Come here." "You come see me in a few years." "Right over at the saloon, okay?" "He just murdered my father and you're not going to do anything about it?" "He claims he acted in self-defense and he's got two witnesses to back him up." "I'm sorry, James." "I really am." "I'm sorry." "I'm innocent." "I'm innocent." " It was self-defense." " Yeah, and pigs fly." "Wait wait wait." "Oh-oh-oh-oh." "Oh, you wanna kill me, boy." "You wanna hurt me bad." "Come over here." "Come over here." "Come on, boy." "That's right." "Step up." "How you doing, hmm?" "You're hurtin' bad." "Well, see, my daddy... he taught me to keep this knife razor sharp for a day like this." "Go on, take it." "Take it, boy." "Ah!" "Now you cut my throat." "Go on." "Just like a pig." "You cut me." "Take a man's vengeance." "Come on!" "Come on!" "I'll even closed my eyes for ya." "Come on." "I can feel it coming." "Good boy." "I'll tell you what, boy... now shoo." "Come back when you're man enough." "And we'll finish this." "Hear?" "For that rainy day!" "Hey!" "Rainy day!" "To that rainy day." "Yes, sir!" "I knew that you'd be here." "The whole town's been looking for you, James." "Let 'em look." "I'm not going back there." "You can stay with us." "Thanks the same." "Are you coming back to Legend?" "When I do, it'll be to kill Will Tunney." " But, James, your father said that..." " My father's dead." "You better go back, it'll be dark soon." " Where will you go?" " I don't know, I..." "I have an aunt and uncle in Mobile, Alabama." "That's a thousand miles away." "I don't care!" " I best get going." " James, wait!" "So that you'll remember me." "Come on, now." "Run, little boy!" "Boy, where are ya?" "Why don't you come home... so we can finish this boy?" "A little bit jumpy there, Conners?" "Seems like you got something on your conscience." "Now me, I sleep like a baby." "Shut up, Haines." "Good night." "Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Conners." "The blood of Christ." "I know what it is, Haines." "Yea, though I ride through the valley of the shadow of death" "I shall fear no evil for thou art with me, Conners." "Thy knife and thy gun comfort me." "You ain't much for religion, are you, Conners?" "See, that concerns me." "I'm worried about your soul." "How do you know I have one?" "Go go go!" "Bringing these hostiles out of Canyon de Chelly, putting 'em on a reservation." "They don't look very hostile to me." "Neither does he." "We're gonna put 8,000 of them there... if they're smart enough to surrender." "Give 'em five-minutes' rest." "No water." "And watch out for that buck over there." "If he gets half a chance, he'll slit your throat." "Yes, sir." ""The Lord is my shepherd." "I shall not want." "He leadeth me by still water for His name's sake." "Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me."" "Put an end to it, Preacher." "These heathens don't need religion." "They're gonna be farmers if it kills them... and it probably will." "Hey, what are you doing?" "What'd you do that for?" "That's my lucky knife." "Well, I don't think you'll need it, Haines." "Long ride, Conners." "How about you buy me a drink?" "We'll call it sort of a last request." "What are you in such a hurry for, huh?" "What, you gonna catch up with that Injun party?" "I saw that look you and that squaw had." "What's going on here?" "Got a wild one here." "Yeah, well, who's collecting?" "James Conners." " Conners." " That's right." "Well, I'll be damned." "You're one lucky man." "Conners here usually brings 'em in more dead than alive." "Yeah, real lucky." "All right, let's go." "The suspense is killing me." "Why don't you get to the point... where I give a damn?" "Yes, Mr. Mayor." "It looks like it will now come out of Denver, head directly south via Pueblo, skirt the eastern side of the Sangre de Cristos through Cimarron and then southwest to Santa Fe." "And come thundering right through our lovely little town of Legend." "When the tracks are laid, the Pacific Railroad will deliver more business to this town than you've ever imagined." "Right at my doorstep?" " More or less." " More or less?" " You better hope more than less." " Yes, of course." "You see, I have bought every single piece of property here in Legend based on your advice." "And some people have died based on your advice here in Legend." "Accidentally, of course." "I can assure you, their value will more than triple." "However..." "However." "There ain't no howevers." "Your 10% lawyer fee don't include no howevers." "15%, actually." "How... how... regardless," "I do have to point out, there is still a parcel of land that you do not yet own." " You didn't make 'em an offer yet?" " Oh, yes, I did." "Howev...but they seem to be stalling." "I fear that if they see the surveyor, they may raise their asking price." "Yeah..." "Spider'll take care of that." " Who?" " Spider." "Spider." "Pleasure to make your acquaintance..." "Esquire." "Aw, relax, Garrick." "The future's on its way." "And I'm gonna make sure you catch the bouquet at my wedding." "I'm supposed to eat this?" "I'm just saying, I don't know what part" " of the chicken that is." " Okay, stop it." "I'm trying to..." " Can I eat my dinner in peace?" " What would you say that is?" "I would say it's something you don't have to eat, that's what I would say." " Every town, it's the same thing." " It's not every town." "No, you pick something out on your plate you can't identify," " and suddenly, it's like poison." " But it's not every town." "But see, I'm also eating with you." "So we eat together." "I know, but you seem to enjoy it." "Thanks, ma'am." " It is every town." " No, it is not." " I mean, two stops ago..." " How's your supper, gentlemen?" " Just excellent." " Thank you." "Definitely the best we've had since, um..." "Reno." "For your entertainment after supper, there are games of chance in the back." "And if you wish for some female companionship, that's available upstairs." "Just inquire with Billy at the bar." "Just ask Billy?" "Oh, well then... excuse me, I was just wondering if, um," " if you were..." " You might be..." " I mean..." " I only work downstairs." "Of course." "I'm sorry." "She only works downstairs." "It was an embarrassing question, but I asked it for your sake." "More for you two?" "You know that this stuff's real strong." "I'll be right back." "Evening, Mary." "You look tired." "You want to take the weight off, to make up?" "I'm..." "I'm fine, thanks." "I'm busy." "Well, I was, uh..." "Hey, piano man!" "Stop playing that music!" "Can't hear myself think." "Now, Mary..." "Mary..." "I..." "I was looking for you this morning before your shift, you know." " I went ridin'." " Yeah, you always go ridin'." " I like to ride." " Yeah, so do I." " It's fun." " I like to ride alone." "Yeah, well... soon that will change." "You're only gonna wanna ride with me, yeah?" " Look, Will..." " Yeah?" "I'm only workin' here to keep you from throwing my brother out of the livery that we own." "Owned." "And there are some benefits to being owned." "You know what I'm saying?" "I don't plan on sticking around to find out." "Oh yeah?" "Someday... soon..." "I'm gonna stop asking politely." "My angel." "I gotta..." "I gotta get to work." " What the hell are you looking at, Tom?" " Nothing, Will." "Then eat your damn food." "What's the trouble, Will?" "The trouble is..." "I..." "I put this woman on a pedestal and now I can't reach her." "Then knock it down." "Make her crawl back up." "Get off, Velma!" "Go make me some money." "I'll be upstairs... if you care." "Without any pedestals." "You reshoe our horses yet?" "Hey there, Mr. Finch." "Yeah." "I'll get to it, right when I'm done finishing off the real customers' horses." "Mr. Tunney is your real customer." "And he's also your boss." "Really?" "Well, I thought this was my livery." "Handed down to me by my father." " But..." " And taken by my boss." "You don't like it, you can always leave." "Without your lovely sister, of course." "Come on, stable boy, take your best shot." "Not as dumb as you look." "Wish I could say the same for you." "What?" "Hmm?" "Hmm?" "Huh, boy?" "Huh?" " What?" " Nothing." "Mr. Tunney and I are riding out come daybreak." "You have his gray and my sorrel ready by then." "Yes, sir." "Anything you want, Mr. Finch." "Just tell Tunney I'll be right here." "Right where you need me." "Well, hello, stable boy." "Conners." "Look at you." "Look at you." "You're all grown up." "And you're..." "and you're hairy and... and you're kinda scary lookin', tell you the truth." "So what you been up to all these years?" "Nothing worth talking about." "How's your pop been?" "He died about four years back." "Sorry about that." "Better he ain't around, seeing his son lose his livery." " What happened?" " Ah... it was a weak moment." "Will sent a couple of women of a..." "questionable profession over to my place." "And, uh, there was free whisky and all that, so, you know, stumbled into a saloon, lost the deed in two hands." " You gamble?" " Never." "Those whores had gotten the best of me." "Yup." "Tunney had it painted the day after you left." "Well, I should say Mayor Tunney." "Mayor Tunney?" "Yes, sir." "Hmm..." "You seen Mary yet?" "No." "Don't know if I plan to." "Mm... hmm." "Course you don't." "Come on, let's go get some grub." "Evening." "If you're looking for Velma, she works out of the saloon." "I'm not looking for Velma." "Let's get this next reading." "Okay, I just walked the last two miles." "Fine, then I'm on the transit." "I am on the transit in New Mexico," "You are on the transit in Utah." "Did you just make that up?" " We'll flip for it." " Fine, let's flip for it." " Heads or tails?" " Heads." " Wait." "Tails." " Tails." "Heads!" "Heads." "Heads." " I'll take heads, definitely." " Are you sure now?" "Yeah." "Wait." "What did I say?" " Heads." " Fine, heads." " Heads it is." " No more go-backs." "Morning, gentlemen." " Good morning." " Howdy." "Which one of you is Griffiths?" " That'd be me." " That must make you O'Toole." "That's right." "How do you know our names?" "Well, you're staying at my hotel." "Well..." "I..." "I'm hearing that you boys are running some kind of... railroad through here?" "We're just out here doing some preliminary measurements." "We're in negotiations with the person who owns this land to possibly cut through." "Yeah, well, negotiations are over." "Landowner signed over dinner." "The steak was a bit rare." "It looks like you drew your line wrong here." "No." "Uh, based on elevation and incline, rock and soil samples..." "you know, science?" "Uh, that is the best place to lay railroad tracks." " Best." " Yeah, well, I'm no surveyor, but it seems to me... like the line needs to go right through here... town of Legend." "Actually, because of our instructions, we..." "In fact, I'd bet your life on it, the both of youse." "And my best advice to you would be to take your pencil... go on." "You draw a line right there." "Go on." "Just move it over a half an inch." "Oh, that's good." "That's a really good line." " How do you like it?" " I do, I like it." "Yeah, you do fine work with that pencil." "Mr., uh..." ""Davinky."" " Actually, it's Da Vinci..." " Mm-mm-mm." " What's that?" " Never mind." "Yeah, well, you just make sure that the line stays right where it is." "I'll take this." "Took me almost a year to make my way back to Alabama and find my aunt and uncle." "Things were okay for a while... till the war came." "Our farm didn't have slaves." "We were part of the confederacy just the same." "Had no choice but to fight for the gray." "How long were you in the war?" "Too long, I suspect." "Long enough to know that God doesn't favor man." "James." "Mary, I..." "I've seen too many terrible things... terrible things that no God could just stand by and watch." " Man is on his own." " How can you say that, James?" "Your father was a preacher." "And God really favored him." "Do you really believe that?" " I've done too many things, Mary." " Shh." "Just let go." "Now you do sound like my father." "Your father was a great man." "Hey..." "I have an idea:" "What if we just start over and we pretend like you never left?" "All these years, we just stayed the same in our hearts." "I never did forget, Mary." "All I had to do was hold onto your ribbon and I was back home." "That's back here." "I came out here every day since you left... just hoping and praying that you would come home." "I should've came back a long time ago." "I've gotta ask you... did you come back to kill Will Tunney?" "'Cause that's the last thing I ever heard you say." "There's going to be justice." "But I don't want no more killing." "I just want to make up for lost time." "How do you propose we do that?" "Oh, yes, sir." "I think she needs a new coat... of paint." "Whoo!" "Things are back on track, Garrick." "I'm gonna take this town into the 20th century if I have to drag it kicking and screaming." "Kicking and screaming." "Excellent, Mr. Mayor." "How wonderful." "Did you know, Garrick," "I never rid a railroad track before?" "Why wait, Tunney?" "I'm sure you can catch a ride anywhere but here." "Ah." "And you are?" "I'm here to buy this church." "Well, it ain't for sale." "And it ain't no church." "It was a church." "It was my father's church." "Do you know who this is?" "Conners..." "Good God Almighty." "All grown up and... whiskers and all." "I didn't ever think I'd see your gutless hide in this town of Legend again." "That's the amount my father owed you on the note when you killed him." "Take it, count it, and leave." "Well..." "I ain't going nowhere." "You see, I own this town now." "Yep, all of it mine." "And I'm the mayor, and soon-to-be husband of your long-lost Mary." "I suggest you be gone by sundown, Tunney." "Oh, sundown." "Sundown." "Sunny side up." "No, ain't going nowhere." "Okay." "You want to see what that is?" "Go on." "What have we here?" "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, I..." "I remember that night." "Yeah." "That... that fellow was in the wrong place at the right time, just like your daddy was." "I'm glad to see you took care of my knife." "You can leave town now, lawyer." "Uh-uh!" "Without those." "Yes, sir." "I..." "I'm leaving straightaway." "You tell me something, boy." "When you woke up this morning, did you know you were gonna die today?" "How about you, Tunney?" "Did you get up this morning knowing you were gonna be aired out like the morning laundry?" "No more free drinks for you tonight, Samuel." "What's the meaning of this, stranger?" "This man is wanted for the murder of Nathan Carnes two years ago in Jamison County." "It was self-defense, Sheriff." "It's no more in self-defense" " than when you murdered my father." " James?" "That you?" "Your daddy... was a self-righteous fool who thought he was better than the rest of us townsfolk." "Yeah." "Jesus was the son of God." "Your daddy was a son of a bitch." "Go ahead, shoot." "Finish the job." "Truth is this town needs me more than it needs you." "I'm the future." "You're the past." "Should have killed you 15 years ago, boy." "Bounty's good dead or alive, Tunney." "I think I'd prefer dead." "Hey, hold it." "Hold it." "I'm waiting, boy." "I'm waiting." "Don't do it." "I'm waiting." "Yeah." "You still don't have the stomach." "Lock him up." "Mary..." "Mary, what the hell you doing with him?" "Mary, you come here now." "Mary!" "Marshal in Jamison confirmed the killing of Nathan Carnes by Mr. Tunney." "Said if we wait a couple days, he can meet us halfway." "How far is halfway?" "You know I get the piles if I have to ride too far." "Reckon a day and a half, maybe two." " All right, we'll wait." " Whoo!" " Want me to..." " Come on there, Brian." "No no." "That's all right, Brian." "Forget it." " Good night, Sheriff." " Night." "Night." "Mind the bedbugs don't bite." "If they do, get a shoe, beat 'em till they're black and blue." "Oh, that's a dumb move, Sheriff." "Sheriff?" "Sheriff?" "Why don't I just get you a nice "checkmate"?" "I'm thinking... tall," "European," "Velma's the best in town." "No, thanks." "Why not?" "Not like you haven't partaken before." "Fortunately, that part of me no longer has a say in the matter." "How old are you?" " 60?" "65?" " 71." "71." "Well, I take my hat off to you." "You have fulfilled your civic duty." "It's time for you to, uh, experience the financial ease of your twilight years." "10 years ago, I would have taken you up on your first offer." "Five years ago, I would have taken you up on your second." "But right now, in my twilight years, all I've earned is a life of regret." "Checkmate." "I should have locked you up 15 years ago." "Now shut the hell up or I'll hang you myself." "Let's go, Tunney." "It's judgment day." "Sheriff!" "Hold on, hold on." "Let me grab my horse and I'll ride with you guys." "Well, that's okay, James." "Uh, I'll take it from here." "Hey, he's still my prisoner." "Not anymore." "He's with the law now." "You make sure you ride straight through." "You can change its color, but it's still my property." "Load 'em up." "Let's move out." "Mary, don't you do anything foolish now that gonna stop you from wearing white at our wedding." "Mary had a little lamb." "Little lamb." "Little lamb." "You'd better go." "Why?" "Bad luck." "Go!" "The barber's waiting for you." "Get!" "We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage" "Of James Conners and Mary Cooper." "It is a time to rejoice." "And it is also a time to give thanks to the Lord." " Okay, hold it up!" "Hold up!" "Hold up!" " Whoa." "I gotta rest a minute." "Hey, Sheriff, how's that long ride treating your behind?" "You know something?" "Why don't we just turn around... head back to town for a nice little drink in my saloon?" "Let bygones be bygones." "Turn the other cheek." "What do you say?" "Hey, Brian." "Another peep out of him, you got my permission to blow him out of the saddle." "Brian, live and let live, right?" "Do you have the rings?" "Yes, sir." "Oh." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Whoa!" "Whoo!" "Six shots, Sheriff." "It's time for you to reload, by my count." "Now my boys here would be happy to sit by and watch you refill your pistol," "But Spider up there, you see, he ain't so obliging." "I now pronounce you, James and Mary, husband and wife." "You may now kiss the bride." "Now I'm a decent Christian fella, so I'm gonna abide by the law of live and let live, turn the other cheek, if you hand over the key to these handcuffs." "Finch." "Ah, yeah." "Much obliged, Sheriff." "Much obliged." "You know all that stuff about turn the other cheek?" "Well, I lied." " Congratulations, sis." " Oh!" "Thanks, Johnny." "James." "Come here!" "Oh." "You know, he don't clean up too bad." " No, he doesn't." " Yeah." "You take good care of her." "I will." "So, um, y'all two headed back to town, or..." "No." "No, not tonight." "We're not?" "I have a surprise for you, Mr. Conners." " All right." " Night, Johnny!" "Night!" "Night!" "Time to leave." "Finch, am I still mayor of this ungrateful little town?" " Yeah, boss." " Yep." "Then I'm appointing you sheriff!" "Ha ha!" "That makes you my deputy, huh, Charles?" "Yeah." "And your first job is to find Conners and arrest him." "For what?" "For the murder of Sheriff Sanders and his deputy." "Will!" " Hey!" "How're you doing?" " Hey!" "And where is my lovely little wife-to-be?" "What?" "Mary." "I asked you a question." "Where's Mary?" "She's celebrating her wedding." " Hey!" " Hey." "I guess it's just me and you." "Me and you, Ruby." "Now you better not go off and get married." "I'm gonna be the one that gets married next, if anybody is." "Hey, stable boy." "We interrupt a little something with your mare?" "Oh no, she stopped listening to me long time ago." "Well, that's a smart horse." "Can I help you fellas with anything?" "Where's your sister's horse?" "Don't know." "It's kind of late to be out riding, isn't it?" "I guess." "So where'd they go?" "Where did who go?" "We're not gonna play that game." "He doesn't know." " But I do." " Yeah?" "What?" "I followed her once, see where she rides off to every morning." "That's kind of disturbing to me, Spider." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "You don't want to do that." "Guess who's gonna win that game." "Spider, why don't you take that from him?" "Easy now." "Whew." "Give me your hand, boy." "Give me... your gun hand." "I'm pretty good with either one." "Show me." "I'll take this one." "We... we could have been brothers-in-law, you know that?" "You know what, Mr. Tunney?" "You're gonna get yours." "Maybe not in this life, but you're gonna get yours." "Yeah." "You son of a bitch." "Spider, take care of that." "Good evening, Mr. Conners." "Good evening, Mrs. Conners." "This is quite the honeymoon spot you picked out for us." "Yeah." "Yeah, I thought you'd like it." "I do." "Let's never leave here, James." " From this spot?" " Yeah." "From this spot." "Let's build our house here and raise our children by this creek, grow old together." "Okay." "Can we wait till the morning?" "Yes." "I love you." "I love you too." "Am I too late?" "What... what are you doing here, Will?" "I asked you a question, Mary." "Am I too late?" "Will, leave us alone." "Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Mary." "And she could have had a future." "She could have been..." "Mrs. Mayor Tunney because he loved her and he'd have given her the world." "But Mary, well, she had a little lamb... a little lamb." "Little lamb." "Don't..." "Will!" "Will, stop!" "Don't..." "So then the big bad wolf came to town... and he huffed, and he puffed," " and he made her a widow." " Don't!" "Will!" " Will!" " He made her..." "Don't!" "Will, stop it!" " ..." "A whore!" " Stop it!" "Just like he should have done a long time ago." "Will, no!" "No!" "Don't!" "Stop it!" "Leave him alone!" "Stop it!" "Please please please please!" "You say hello to your daddy for me." " You want to save him?" " Yes." " Go." " No!" "No!" "No!" "Mary?" "Ma..." "Mary?" "You kill him... slow." "You make him feel the pain." "Make him feel the pain." "It's time, bounty hunter." "Oh no." "Oh no, Mary." "He's dead now." "Well, uh, sun's coming up." "Sun's coming up, babe." "You wake up." "You sleep awhile." "Yeah, you..." "He'll bleed a long slow painful death." "You sleep good." "Miakoda." "Miakoda!" "No!" "Stop it!" "No!" " Whore!" "Whore!" " What's going on in there?" "Leave me be." "Come on, Velma." " Mary!" "Mary!" " It's all right." "It's all right." "He... he wants another bottle." "He's been drinking for days." "Don't look to me for pity." "Wait." "Wait, Velma." "Velma." "Velma." "Velma!" "Your fever has broken." "You rest." "Mary." "Where is she?" "I am Miakoda." "I'm James." "James." "The bible by King James." "You speak English very well." "I learned on the reservation." "Life is not good there." "Many Navajo have died." "That was you who helped us." "There were several others that escaped as well." "Thank you." "Your husband doesn't seem to like me very much." "Washakie is my brother." "He is not trusting of the white man." "Our parents were killed at our home in Tsegi by your Kit Carson." "I'm trying to forgive them for what they have done." ""Turn the other cheek"" "as your god says." "I've tried that." "It doesn't work." " You are still weak." " I'll be fine." "What did he say?" "I said you are foolish white man... and we should have left you to die." "What's going on?" "Hey, boss." "How're you feeling?" "I asked you a question." "We haven't been able to find Garrick." "And, uh, all the deeds have been given back to their original owners," "So I'd say we're pretty much, uh..." "Do not even dare to venture an opinion." "Okay, sorry, boss." "Yeah, well..." "Pacific Railroad... and them bigwigs coming into town to do their dog and pony show, we're gonna need to get them deeds back." "From everyone in town?" "Does that answer your question?" "We're gonna need more men." "How many?" "Many cockroaches as you can find." "Turn over every rock in this town." "Yes, sir." "I have decided that this town and the people in it do not deserve what I am gonna bring to them!" "Anyway, I'm gonna... uh, clean up." "You'd better hope I'm in a better mood tomorrow." "She was beautiful, the woman who passed." "She was my wife." "I am sorry." "There are wonderful things in your God's book about death that are like my people's beliefs." "I'm sorry, but I'm all out of beliefs for one lifetime." "We have all suffered a great loss." "But it is the valleys that we learn from... and not the hills." "Sounds like poetry, Miakoda." "When I hold this ribbon in my hand, all I see is blackness in my heart." "It is not blackness you see." "It is only a shadow." "You saved my life." "We saved each other's." "I am grateful." "It was you who gave us the knife." "It is an old Navajo saying." "It means he who saves a life shares his debt with those he saves." "Well, that doesn't sound too bad." "It is for him." "You'll do what is right for your heart." "I know." "Goodbye, Miakoda." "Hey hey... wha... wha..." "It's me." "How'd you two get away?" "Where's Mary?" "Huh-uh." "No." "No." "Look at me." "Look at me." "Look at me." " Mary, no." " It ends here." "Okay." "Wait." "Wait." "James." "Hello there." " Hi." " Come on, Penny." " What, Mother?" " Not yet, all right?" "Just wait." "Come on." "I know, come on!" "You need to cover yourself up, James." "Here's a coat." " Where's your horse at?" " Out behind the general store." "We can reach the marshal up in Jamison." "Maybe by tomorrow morning, but we gotta leave right now." "I'm not going anywhere." "What are you gonna do?" "You gonna take them all on by yourself?" "Sheriff Sanders is dead;" "his deputies dead." "Will killed them all." "Without the law, Tunney and his men, they control the whole damn town." "Not for long." "Hey." "Hey!" "You promised my sister." "What?" "I told her not to marry you." "What did you say?" "I told her she'd be making a mistake." "You ain't the same person we once knew." "I told her you ain't a man who settles down to a family." "She said I was wrong." "She said that you'd changed your old desperate ways." "She said that you promised her, and I believed her." "Listen to me, James." "If you go against everything that Mary believed in and you get yourself killed doing it, well, then you destroy any chance you have of being together at your end." "I'm sorry, Johnny." "Well, hold up." "Conners, all right, I'll make a deal with you." "Just... just ride with me to Jamison." "We'll talk to the marshal." "And if he don't agree to take in Tunney, then... well, we'll take him down together." "All of them." "I promise." "Finch!" " Let's go!" " It can't be." "Yeah?" "Hey, boss!" "James is still alive." "You want to repeat that for me?" "Him and, uh, Mary's brother rode out of town, and they were in a heck of a hurry." "Well... they're heading for Jamison to get the marshal." "Why don't you go get them first?" "And find me Spider." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Whoa!" "We need to rest them some." "And we need a place to bed come nightfall." "Got any suggestions?" "I ain't never been out of town this far before." "Fine." "Come on, Ruby." "James, what are you doing?" "What's she doing?" "Hey, did you see Mary's horse over here?" "No no no no no no!" "Washakie, Washakie, he's my friend!" " Washakie!" " Please, let him go." "You know this savage?" "No!" "Ow!" "He didn't mean that." "He didn't mean that." "Apologize!" "Are you serious?" " He understands English." " For whatever I said, I'm sorry!" "See?" "Washakie, he's sorry." "Please please, let him go." "Let him go." "Ow!" "What did I say?" "Howdy, ma'am." "Mm." "This is some pretty amazing stew there, Mia..." "Uh, Mida?" "Mayday..." "Miakoda." "Miakoda." "Miakoda." "Hm, that's..." "that's a pretty name." "If you head straight, you will come to a creek." "Once you pass twin rocks, follow it to Jamison." "The moon will show you the way." " They should stay the night." " No." "It is dangerous for all of us if they do not keep moving." "He's right." "Thanks again, Miakoda." "I'll come back here after I see the marshal." "It is time for us to move on." "We will be gone by then." "Here." "You keep it." "You are doing the right thing." "Mia... koda?" "Miakoda?" "Thanks again for that stew." "It really hit the spot." "And, uh, thanks to both of y'all for..." "Johnny!" "Johnny!" "We got 'em." "James, don't go!" "Don't!" "Stay here." "Hey hey hey hey hey!" "Stay with Miakoda." "She will be fine." "This is not your fight." "Your fights are now my fights." " Where are they, Finch?" " Shh." " Finch, where are they?" " Shut up." "Finch?" "Finch!" "We took care of Mary's brother, but, uh, Charlie got killed." "Well, I am deeply saddened by that news." "Where's the body?" "I want to see James's body." "Had to leave him there." "But I..." "I scared off his horse." "Yeah, well, he won't be needing that horse no more, will he?" "What I'm trying to say is James is still alive." "He had this Injun with him." " That's who killed Charlie." " He what?" "He had this Injun with him, and that's who killed Charlie." "So I had to leave him." "How many men you got rustled up for this meeting?" "Should be half dozen." "Yeah, Spider counts as six." "Okay, we'll go after James after the meeting." "Where are the people?" "Shh shh." "They must all be in the church." "What's your plan?" "We go on in there to take down the man who murdered my wife." "I'm not used to being the hunter." "Usually I am the hunted." "That is why I like this plan." "Evening, fine folks of Legend." "I am T.S. McKinley, the Pacific-West representative for the Pacific Railroad." "Thank you, thank you." "As you know, the Pacific Railroad is laying tracks in this area, which will make Legend one of its many stops." "Uh, that means that there will be a whole lot of new people and products coming to your businesses." " Furthermore..." " Beg your pardon, sir." "Yes, sir?" "This is the first we've heard of the railroad." "Yeah!" "Well, th..." "that's impossible." "We sent word months ago with several updates." "To who?" "We didn't hear about it." "That's right!" "Now now, calm down." "Calm down." "We sent them to your mayor's office." "All right, we gotta take out these two guys." "Where are they going?" " Miakoda!" " What is she doing?" "Let's go." "Hey there." "Lose your way off the reservation camp?" "My partner's talking to you, Indian girl." "She doesn't understand a word we're saying, do you?" "Man, oh man, you are a pretty one." "I'm looking for a light-haired man named James." "Well, look at that." "She can talk." "Can you tell me where to find him?" "Sure." "Climb off and I'll take you right to him." "You can handle things while the little redskin and I go look for her friend?" "Now my lawyer and political adviser" "Mr. Garrick Haring advised me to buy land." "Like everyone else in this town, I am also a businessman..." "And a thief!" "Is that true, Mayor?" "Well, now obviously Mr. Garrick Haring was keeping the information, uh, of a railroad deal to himself, and benefiting from my personal investments, of which he was to make a very generous 50%" "However, I was falsely arrested, thrown in jail, Mr. Garrick Haring was run out of town, and these townsfolk have reneged on these contracts which you all signed, handing over your properties to me." "I now own your land by law." "I get her when you're done." "If there's anything left." "You should not have come here, Miakoda!" "This is wrong, Washakie, and you know it." "This is his destiny." "You mustn't do this." "James, if you do this, you will have nothing!" "Washakie, get her out of here." "I will not run or hide from my beliefs." "Then that's your decision." "You will stay here." "We were forced to sell our land to the mayor!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Why don't you sell us the land back?" "Well, my friend, I would like to help you out, from the bottom of my heart." "But I only own 50% of your properties." "And I never go back on a deal." "What deal?" "However, you may rest assured that your businesses are gonna prosper because of all of this new currency which is a-rolling in from out there..." " through Legend." " To your pockets!" "Not if you overcharge us for that land!" " That's right!" " Well, I don't see that happening in the foreseeable future." "All right, break it up!" "Sorry, folks." "Just want to say support our mayor 100%." "Why, thank you, Spider." "Uh, as you can see, Mr. McKinley, we are all very excited about the prospect of a railroad coming through Legend." "And we look forward to Legend being your favorite stop." "In fact, you are now standing in what will be" "Legend's railroad depot." "Now, if you'll excuse me," "I am going to go to the saloon and get drunk, and celebrate this momentous occasion." "If anybody would care to join me?" "Please, the drinks are on me." "For half an hour at least." "I remember you." "Let's raise hell!" "Yeah!" "All right!" "We need a bottle!" "Where is everybody?" "Phil and Bob, customers!" "Where the hell is my piano player?" "I didn't give nobody the night off." "Velma!" "Velma!" "Get your daddy longlegs down here!" "There was supposed to be six men with us." "One, two, three, four was obviously enough," " with Spider." " Yeah, where is Spider?" "Spider..." "Spider don't drink." "Finch, whiskey, now!" "Make sure it ain't that watered-down public swill." "Come on." "I feel lucky tonight." "Yes, sir, which one of you is new to the game?" "Oh, yeah." "Will." "Yes, sir." " Will!" " What?" "Get up, Tunney!" "That sure was exciting." "Dang, you've gone and shot all my men." "And I had the winning hand." "I sure done raised hell when I killed your pappy, boy." "Why won't you just let me be?" "I'll tell you what..." "you name your price, anything you want in the world, it's yours." "Just name it." " I only want one thing." " Anything." "I want Mary back." "Will she do?" "She'll do." "Yes, sir." "Nice and easy." "I'm just gonna take my coat here, catch me a breath of fresh air, right outside." "Nice and easy does it." "Spider, if I weren't so cheap, I'd give you a raise." "Well, what have we here?" "Huh?" "I don't normally get requests for redskins, but my own personal tastes, oh, they run wild like the west wind." "Mm." "Easy does it." "Okay." "Spider..." "I want you to give me a good head start here." "We're not going anywhere." "Well... adios." "Okay, Chief." "No more Injun talk." "Chief?" "Shh." "Here we go." " That was not nice." " Hyaa!" "Washakie!" "Washakie!" "I will be fine." " Washakie." " What you do now must be done on your own." "Only friendship, my brother." "James!" "I've been looking all over for you!" "James!" "Bye, James." "Your mother, God rest her soul," " would be very proud of you, boy." " Yes, Father." "Remember what I taught you." "Forgive men their sins, and the Almighty will forgive you yours." "Come on, boy!" "Whoo-hoo!" "That was a lucky shot." "So!" "Still ain't got the guts to kill me, huh?" "This ain't your town no more, boy." "This is my town now." "What the hell are you still doing here?" "Your daddy, your wife, your daddy's church..." "they all gone." "This is my town." "It's my future." "Yeah!" "I am the decider here, and you are history, boy." "What was it your daddy said to you before he died?" "He said..." ""Forgive men their sins that He may forgive you yours."" "Now, tell me something, can you find a little forgiveness for me... in your heart, before I blow a hole in it?" "Hmm?" "You look at me, boy." "Look at me." "You look deep in my eyes with all that hate." "Yeah." "You can't hide from me, boy." "Come on, do it!" "I know you got it there." "Bring it on, boy." "Yeah!" "You can't kill me, boy." "You just can't kill me." "You want to know why?" "Huh?" "Well, your daddy said it." "He said to you, killing me, that don't make you any better than me." "You understand?" "You don't want to disappoint your daddy, do you?" "You don't want to fail our lovely Mary?" "You want to see them in heaven, right?" "Or you want to walk down my path?" "No." "No, you don't." "Better say your prayers, boy." "What the..." "I guess I failed." "Dedicated to Arthur H. Ament Justin Ament's Grandfather"
