02x21 - The Annie Griffith Story

[bunniefuu]

But who

he after.

I want your horse.

Do I?

I wanted more.

You'll have to come and get him.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

You're coming from Rome, are you?

This in. Kansas?

What are you talking about?

Major.

Cold enough for you, Major.

Sweating my life away from

a tiny canvas, doing the best you can.

If you can't take down Good Samaritan

airstrip, Senate.

How many wagons blown away?

I stopped counting.

We was headed the other way.

We're sure we make it time.

You know something

I never saw as hard as a Texan can.

That's right.

I wasn't born against it.

This whole train to be moving backwards.

I'll see that you get a feel for it
later. All

There's a feel of snow and a

dry snow in this country, Mr..

All the folks up ahead.

Major, came
you here hanging above the line.

You think McCullough is?
I don't know, but he's far ahead.

Not taking no more than we do.

I bet
wherever he ended up in snow this minute.

During the snow in this country. Charlie.

I am Sierra Petropolis.

No, you can't tell me.

I'm telling you this is too early.

You snow in this country
and you better not say anything different.

Get all these people on the train Panic.

I stick your head in the first boat.

If we can't go

now, what do I say?

Too much.

I'm not too worried.

McCullough blindness awaits you.

All right.

Why don't you back it up on this side?

Wind blows the past. Blows it all out.

I can't stop the wind, that's for sure.

Always building my on your way.

Why don't you take it down
deeper than a little volume.

Blockhead?

You know, most people take it like this
would take that round.

Throwing

people not smart like me.

You know, Charlie, I wonder how I keep
forgetting how really smart you are.

I'd like to know that myself
when I catch a break.

The point of the shuttle.

I'd suggest that you use something harder
and more important.

Like your hair.

Now, what did I say?

Too much

to do.

Certain major.

Yeah, Pop,
I was just about to peel my coat off.

You and I are. Don't you know?

Let me go there in cold.

Why don't you go on over there
by the fire ice?

Anything about being cold?

Oh, no, you did.

I got a reason for being cold.

Just keep it the way it is.

And you got your
own power. Oh, thanks, Pop.

Thanks.

Hey, Major.

Ever spend much time in Texas?

Yeah, some.

You must know what a northerner is.

Yeah.

And every place else
besides Texas, it's just a wind.

A big wind.

Crazy.

And wind right out of the north
comes from down the plains, straight

Canada turns everything to ice.

Snow.

I guess you've been over the high
Sierra, huh?

Oh, well, I haven't,
so I spent my cut off.

We both know damn
well some of those passes our fellas know.

But we also know that some of that passes
down South

Padre to Third Rail Street and Car
is going to pick the right ones for us.

Yeah, well,

I guess everybody's
glad to hear you say that, Major.

I see these wings wrap a hundred times
and die down before they was out.

Might be.

We're remembering that other train
we passed.

What was left of it
might be that kind of stuck in our minds.

Let me tell you something, Mr..

This train is part of where
that other one was.

We got food,
we got fuel, and we got clothes.

Our stocks in good condition,
and we're not lost.

And as far as I know,

everybody
on this train is in his right mind.

So if I was you folks,
I'd go get my belly full and keep warm.

And if you got to think about wagon trains
that came this way,

think about the ones that got through.

No, hard that.

Yeah, there's no mistake.

Why would you get to see on a color
come right right up under them

right now I got to tell you that

these are the bones of these people here.

Be sure he doesn't come in by tomorrow.

Don, I'm going to send you a Johnny.

I'm looking for him.

But you're.

He's lost.

Oh, he's not lost. He's never lost.

My figure. He's snowbound.

He's got to be

the first real windbreak.

We come across that
if we're on a colored trail.

He probably felt the same way
when he got here.

Why do you keep saying
if we're. On the trail?

Ain't you sure?

Aren't you? No, but I feel a lot better.

He was.

Somebody did come this way.

They passed me
campground. Now go look for some water.

Hey, wait a minute.

Charlie, wait.

What is it?

Right. But

sure looks like what.

Looks like they drag it off that way.

Yeah, Whatever it was,
it was bleeding when they dug it away.

You ain't taking the color.

I'm thinking it might be different.

I've been telling myself all along.

Ain't my count yet. Come this way.
You ran out of the snow.

You cut back to the south Kansas.

If he was able.

Out, maybe he had gone his way
past midday.

And if I know McCullough, he'd
be up riding by now.

And it's like I said, if he was able to

hunt.

When you're out here, Johnny,
I'm going to follow those tracks.

You coming with
me? You don't play Well, I am

you. Charlie.

Nothing just left.

Looks like this is it, Charlie?

Yeah.

Hey, you thinking anybody
living this old shack?

Are you thinking for a while?

I want to find out a few things.

You're trespassing.

You got no right.

What are you?

Damage. Look, Look Here. Good.

We're looking for a man.

Yeah, well, I ain't.

I sure ain't. Power about the track.

We've been on some tracks way down
from that clearing lead right up here.

Where? What if they do.

Holler about the blood.

Money of him?

Nothing ailed me. Absolutely nothing.

I'm just as fit as a fiddle.

About the blood, man.

There was blood all along the tracks.

We figured maybe our friend was hurt
and had to drag him along.

But I don't know
nothing about your friend.

And I don't have to stand out here all day
jawed with you.

That blood you saw all the blood.

Maybe if you have some man folks,
they might have seen him.

I got more men, folks than you can handle.

And they're not far away.

We'd be much obliged,
man, if you could tell us where they are.

Well, all right there.

Yonder in that box
canyon behind the clearing.

How far yonder?

About a mile.

Even here, a friend came nosing up here.

They might have got him.

Got him, ma'am.

You fool.

Man, you don't even know where you are.

Ought to let you find out.
Let him k*ll you.

What kind of man folk you got?

This here Shoshone country.

That box canyons was just shown
he can not get.

It's not only us, man.

As a whole wagon train
dependent on our friend.

Yo. With a wagon train.

Yes, ma'am.

And our friend Flint. He's a scout for us.

Where's your wagon train?

In. Why? West to California.

Risk always heading west.

Are you sure, man,
that you haven't seen Plant?

I ain't seen him.

I ain't seen him. Of course not yet.

We got a long,
hard road ahead of us, ma'am.

Which you are appreciated. If we can come
in, warm ourselves by your fire.

I ain't got no fire.

I ain't got no fire at all.

Not yet.

He ain't got no fire.

Go on, keep lookin.

Get used to it.

After a while.

Come on, now.

You slept around the clock. That's enough.

Yeah.

Wake up, I tell.

How did I get here?

I found you

went on before
that. I'll have to come back.

You found your shot.

God, with fever

and an awful mess.

Oh, that.

I ain't never seen a man. It wasn't.

Then I lay back there.

Got some work to do on you.

Makes me feel

real bad to see a man helpless like this.

Real bad for.

Yeah. Feel out to you.

I'm so nice.

He gave me everything. You own

your g*n, your money,

everything you got in this world.

What did I steal from you?

I wonder if I could have done a thing
like that. Hmm?

Who brought me?

I brought you.

I don't think I wasn't able

to guard strength
That man don't even know about.

Said something she let

it grows inside

her. I no pain.

Yeah,

well, I got no whiskey.

I could catch you one in a head.

That's the best I can do.

You could left me.

There ain't much

good to be dead,

you know.

Might be worth something to me at that.

And half that

might be worth something to the Shoney's

shop.

Oh, steady Now, how?

I ain't going to stay perched up
on this mountainside in the winter.

I tell you.

I breathe in.

Thanks to you.

Told you no good to me.

Dead.

Not the bear leg.

And I don't want you dyin.

I'll do it.

I can put a dollar for two of this down.

It might break up the fever.

Know?

I don't think I can eat a.

Spoon yourself, sir.

Come on.

And grab

no more.

I. It's a little bit ahead.

Do some good.

Who are you,

lady?

Who has a bread up to do?

What's your name?

Andy Griffith.

Andy Griffith.

Mrs..

I'm a married lady.

A part of the South.

Are you from.

It's so much going on here there
that I've been able to do much reading.

But what do you know about the South.

With mostly.

I had said

you are too plain any

no proper gentleman, not the plain woman.

These for life.

How West now Marion's easy

too easy in a marriage is hard.

You lose your husband.

Not looking for.

When you lose them, you try to find them.

Was going to look for something.

I look for those babies

three and three years

and then.

Sorry.

Sorry.

I did the burying a lot

every time.

The last

was just a little while.

How long have you been alone?

You mean this time?

Well.

And the trails open their spring.

He was off

the first year.

Blade was only here
when he wanted this time.

And he comes back.
I'm not going to be here to meet him.

That's why I stole from you.

I'm going home.

Pleasures me that the man is paying for.

He better come back
before the woman sets in.

Good.

He always does

that his way.

Likes to be warm in the winter.

Let's say like.

A big man

have good hair.

So rather than use

good eyes,

a congenital with a look,

they can cut you through.

It's not as easy to look at
since I cut him.

Cut him right down the face.

To k*ll him.

Well, that first year

part of it,
when we were new to each pattern.

That was all a long time ago.

And lot remembers that

the guy had the fever taken out

like this.

You don't say, you know, that.

To your wife and kids were doing.

Mrs. Garner isn't one to complain.

Yeah, of

course.

I'm not a family man.

I don't have any responsibility on anybody
but myself.

I got a feeling toward women
womenfolk majors that we best

get plenty of firewood.

You sure enough want us to keep busy?

Not if you don't want us to take time
to notice.

Notice?

Yeah, well, Hawks, Worcester,

we got two days on where?

I don't know that.

But there Don are.

Major would probably tell us
that he was off

looking for Flint McCullough.

All I can say is

they're moving somewhere.

We ain't

where to start.

You're not saying anything.

I haven't been thinking night and day

cause I'm not man with a wife
and kids is bound to be thinking,

worrying himself.

All I say

is that
we are going to be moving over to a storm.

Clear.

You can move away from it.

Make sense. It.

We can't move ahead.

We said here we ready or worse.

He was like, That's all the majors

been offering us.

You offering better, Cleve?

I'm going back.

I say that we know what's behind us.

We've been there.

You think about that gunner.

Hey, Pop.

Now it's empty.

How's the in the rear post to you?

I'm fixing to lay on some fresh water.

You're right in here.

Well, with me, smolders.

You better pop

that.

Oh, I said you don't have to hide it.

Well, what about Flint? You find him now.

We didn't find him.

We got an idea where he is.

No. Well, you better start talking, then.

Tell him about

that cute, crazy female
if you asked me, will it be better off?

Which is only female Shoshone.

What the devil are you talking about?

To get a little snow blind up there.

Well, I could have. That was enough snow.

Oh, there's a woman up there. All right.

It's a hard day's ride from here.

She's got a cabin about a mile from there.

There's a Shoshone camp
ran across a bunch of bloody tracks.

The led right up to her place
and figured it might be Flint.

She claims she k*lled a deer.

With all she's shown so close,
we didn't want to cause a lot of fuss

and have spotters
then sweep right down on the train.

He was a little bit of a thing
with shotgun.

Never saw anything like my life.

Well, if you know anything about Flint.

And she seen him, she said not.

She sure didn't want us around.

If we hadn't left there when we did,
we'd be a couple of steps up.

And that's no, that's very minute.

That's just great here.

Got a whole wagon load of people here.

You're going to freeze
to death, starve to death, or maybe both.

And I got two smart
young boys like you working for me.

They can't even handle a woman
with a shotgun.

You never saw a woman like her.

We wouldn't
be any good dead to you, would we?

You're not much good to me now.

Are you trying

to train?

And that battleship and that good

gal darned wind doesn't quit.

Pretty soon
it's going to blow snow down on us.

Any minute.

We couldn't pull out of here.
Now we want to do well.

I don't think anybody saw us
when we rode in.

That's why we holed up in
here knowing you'd come by.

I'm worried about that

girl durn flint,
who'd around the Shoshone country.

We can't afford to send another party out
after him.

He still might be up here with that woman.

If he is, let the good Lord be with him.

She's living
that close to that Shoshone camp.

You can just bet your bottom dollar that
she's living there with their permission.

If she's got him Corral somehow
he's just as good as a Shawnee prisoner.

We better around the parliament
on the land.

Some firewood. Come on.

I've been in spots like this before.

I've seen them. I know what they're like.

Nobody's going to tell me
that we ought to sit here

and let that snow cover us over
and nobody ever find us again.

I even dumb animals.

They got enough sense
to move out ahead of a storm.

You men with wives and children,

you think about that now
and you listen to me.

I said we're not smart
and we don't act smart.

I'm telling you.

Just what do you call action? Smart, Clear

move, Major.

Moving smarter than something here.

There's no way we can move this train now.

Oh, yes, there is.

Well, maybe you tell me about it.

I think maybe I better once say ways.

Move it back.

Back where we come from,
we know it's back there.

We know the water.

We know the trail's ports,

you know the weather.

It's got to be better than here.

Now you're just guessing.

I don't call that thinking.

It makes sense.

Oh, just sounds good.

It don't make sense.

You know, like the way it was
when we came through there.

But you don't know what it is now.

You sure don't want to talk about
what's ahead, do you, Major?

I know what's ahead.

I told you so.

That's why we're not moving. I.

I can't forget we lost our scout, too.

Out of the way.

He's the only one who
knows for sure what's ahead.

I've been through these passes
more times than you can count.

You're not answering me, Major.

But McCullough

is the only one who knows what
we're in for.

He's lost.

I ain't that.

In fact, I'd like to bet he's not lost.

Is he dead. Yet?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Seems to me there's a lot of things
the major don't know.

We're obliged to do what he says.

As long as I'm right
and master this outfit, you're obliged.

And if I had to get tough with you
to prove it, I'll get tough.

My major.

You're talking mighty rough.

The people you should accommodate.

I followed you
when you was a reasonable man.

And you said something just now
worth thinking about.

You said

as long

as I am one of your master,

you figured on taking over?

Did I say that

I could tie you up
for starting a mutiny like this?

I got no papers, Major.

Nobody's going to follow me
or bend their will to mine.

But I can leave this train
any time I want to.

Whoever follows me will be their business.

All right, you folks,

I'm just going to ask you one thing,
and that for you is your hands.

Your people signed on this train
because you wanted to go

where nobody told you
it was going to be easy.

I want you to remember all the reasons
that you had for going west

and then figure out for yourselves
whether it's worthwhile to throw over

all those reasons after we've gotten
two thirds of the way to the coast

of as humanly possible to get you
to California, I'll get the job done.

I'll guarantee you that.

I'll you, man, you better go gather
firewood,

gather all of it you can while you can,

because we're going to be here as well.

I know strength.

No sense to know it.

I was shown a w*r party.

Is that in fact.

Dug soldiers,

best fighters in the tribe.

They're friends of mine.

They brought me these.

How'd you get friendly with the Shoshone?

The act says I'm good medicine

here.

You know what he's talking about?

Diakiese a medicine man.

He brings me things that I need
when he gets.

Resident here in a big favor.

At first wind,

I and Diakiese said I want to blades,
traps.

Seems like every young
and I meet up with some kind of misery.

Hurt or dead.

Freedom nursed him.

I saved him. I've always been grateful.

You didn't tell him I was here to pay.

Ask and make something out of that.

Sure.

That you could have

turned me over to them.

They know that you're here.

I don't know just where.

But you could tell.

Any time
they come up with some gold or something.

That money that I can spend.

I'll tell them where you are right quick.

Why did you k*ll Blade?

I had to

yesterday.

I maybe two or three days ago.

I didn't

try to push what in the past

is ready to k*ll me for my horse

as him or me.

Was coming back

to call.

The other times he was coming back,

he k*lled the only living thing

that was still my

know.

Send you back to hell.

It's sort of funny.

Sorry.

You're always going to be sorry
about everything

you that

I be long winded.

I told you I don't aim to stay up here.

Now, the women.

Maybe I told Shoni about you.

I thought

I was.

I thought I was in for the.

First sign of. A let up.

I'm heading back

on the smart one. So. Well.

And your brain is strong.

You better get back in the wagon.

Warmer in there.

I just going out to check out this time.

Well,
I was back there and they're doing fine.

Somehow.

I always feel sorry for animals

and I do it for people.

When it's going to start.

They always feel it.

They worry more.

Yeah.

Seems like a man can
take care of himself somehow.

Yeah, it.

And then

you got to make out.

Then I get. All right.

And you go Steven up again.

The AP says that you be ready to travel
a little while.

Taking.

His medicine.

That saved you.

Why don't you go to him.

Get you safe passage to the wagon train?

Why? Any

a worried about me?

Nothing of the sort.

I couldn't at the Shoni get
you have dominoes and how could I?

You know you're pretty.

I have to set your mind to it.

The hockey set.

Spirit Devils have been talking to me
for a little while.

That you can't.

You're just out of your head.

You might as well get used to the fact

you're pretty

heavy. Get out of here.

Well, some proper gentlemen, I tell you.

You see.

Now, you better not go to sleep.

Seth has made it. Ready?

It pretty.

I declare declared another living thing.

It died on me.

I just given it.

Keep this stuff loaded up.

All your teams hardest road

of good luck, Carter.

You're going to need it

if your teams aren't enough boys in a row.

Come on, Charlie.

And you got to clean this up here.

What's the matter with you all?

Know who put

your old folks?

Well, I'll be

major him.

Sorry, I know what you have, Major,
but I ran into a little trouble.

Why didn't you help us up?

Was getting ready to go on without you
anyhow.

I see.

Annie,
this is the major. Major, this is Mrs.

Annie Grip. Man, I.

Never thought I'd live to see

the day when I'd accept hospitality
from a Yankee office.

Well, Major, what.

What any means is that she'd be very happy
if she could travel with you.

Where are you heading?

Ma'am? Please.

Headed for the south again,
but by way of the Sierras.

What are you, her interpreter?

Yeah, you might say when.

You listen to me, boy,

I don't know whether we're going
to get through this year or not.

We've got trouble enough as it is
without some strange female coming along,

complicating matters
worse than they are now.

Aren't you ashamed?

Getting all riled up in front of a lady,

are the man not to point out
that trail pack you told me about?

That's right, Major.

And is guaranteed a safe passage
through the Shoshone country. So

I thought maybe you'd be obliged and happy
if she could ride in your wagon. Look

my way.

Yes, Major.

Thank you very much.

May come this way, Annie.

I'll show you the Rangers wagon.

It's like you got your strength back.

I don't know.

I might need some special care.

Any time now.

When McCullough died last year,
had the Major been worried sick about you?

He didn't have to.

I had very good medicine for.

Oh, Charlie, this is Mrs.

Griffin. Howdy, ma'am.

McCullough.

There's a major know
you're dragging her along.

And I quit bellowing in my ear.

Yes, ma'am.

Thanks a lot, Annie.

Better put that. Hat back on.

Might catch cold.

Does he?

Shawnee says she's good medicine.

What's the matter with you?

She bite you.

Tell you all about it someday, Major.

I don't bother.

I probably wouldn't believe you anyhow.

Oh, that's good.

I get that.

Is that what's the matter with you?

Oh, come on over here.

Ready, Railroad. Charlie?

Yeah, I got.

I changed my mind.

I'm going with you.

And you're finally talking some sense.

Well, we're at the end of the line.

Hi, Mr.. Ryder.

Oh, by

railroad, wagon, train.

Remember, there are no rats.

A little over a month later,
there ain't no plans

to board
my on the weather train to the Lord.

We stay together side by side.

No more wagons for

wagons for.

Oh, and a passenger in a written
one learned present.

We're going to sit down.

Looking for it up to date,
looking for a g*n.

It'd be prudent if you ride all the wagons

wagon.

Oh, Got to keep.

On the wrong line to go and follow the

So oh oh lone wagon.

Never had a cabin in Virginia.

Don't know.

Won't get over that.

Nor the board.

I am the weather train to the w*r.

If we stay together side by side.

All the way.
