The the.
Oh, you're
alright boy.
Can of us.
Come on.
The and the son
who did it.
And might be his father.
Yeah, that's it.
Go get a couple of shovels.
Well all right, so.
Ashes to ashes.
Let's do this.
The Lord give us and the Lord taketh away.
We commend his spirit.
The they hands the Lord
and away go to absolve of other charges
to us in nobody Patris.
It's really it's But it is somebody.
Hey, man.
Hey, man.
Come on, son.
We've got to get more over
more.
It's all over.
You can't just stay here forever,
Branch.
Better go get him
green back
and put him in one of the wagons.
We can't just leave you out here.
I'm sorry, Father
Can't leave
grave markers in this Indian territory.
They wouldn't touch the sign of God.
These people don't know our God.
They have strange ways, Father.
Believe me, I know.
I pick my wagon.
That's what I'd like to know.
I don't make sense to me.
I've tried to explain it to you,
Mr. Thorton.
The Major. Ask me to find a place
for the boy to stay here.
That will most likely.
What's going. On here?
This is a less crowded wagon,
just the two of them on it.
But Mr. Thornton doesn't want. It's
my wagon.
I've got a right to say who right?
How would they Armistice lines Have?
You better read the articles you signed.
Flynn
here's asking you to do the fair thing.
Mr. Adams.
Yeah. I'll see you a minute.
Just a second.
I was you. I do what he says.
What do you say?
One fair. Look at him.
He isn't even our kind.
Thornton. That's a shameful thing to say.
Well, it skins a different color.
What do you want me to do?
Ignore it. Pretend that it is a soldier.
Hey, stop it.
A boy just suffered grief like him.
I apologize for my husband.
I'm embarrassed for what he said.
We all are.
Now, listen, I didn't mean that.
What do. You mean?
Well, I was thinking about you.
If you care about me,
stop talking that way.
We apologize.
We'd be glad to take you with us
when you help him around the wagon.
Please, Mr. McCullough.
Seneca.
It's all right. Come on. Everybody.
Roland, let's move out the.
Sarnie
Boy, he just sit there like that
all the time.
I think he's still in shock. Need you?
My wife says he'll come out of it,
but I'll be honest with you.
You don't act like any kid I ever knew.
How many young boys
have you ever known that?
I've just seen their father home.
Would you like some water?
Some food for. His.
Aren't you hungry?
We're Mr.
and Mrs. Thornton.
We've never known a mexican boy before.
It's sort of new for us.
My husband is a good man.
Really?
Try to understand.
What's your name?
All right, folks, It's not that.
That's what a.
Lot of the.
Well, now it's a matter.
Of civilization again, Major.
Oh, will you quit that?
That's the third time
you've done it today.
I've never read books
when I'm around Comanche, I hope.
Just when I smell.
So listen, I'm not going to be starting
and stopping
this wagon train every time
you get a harebrained suspicion, I.
You show me something specific
and I'll run like I scared dear.
You and that scar are yours.
Major, I'm telling you, I smell sewer out,
and they're not very far off.
Looks quite enough to me.
What do you expect? w*r. Whoops.
Don't you get smart with me, McCullough?
We're moving ahead.
I guess.
Oh, what?
Well, not what
you wanted.
Something specific that ought to do.
Not help him is still alive.
Go on, Major. Tell me.
Those aren't so. Big.
I know. They're so beads.
So what am I supposed to do?
So next time. Listen.
There's no sense in us
sitting here arguing about it.
Getting back to the way Bill
will get some help with you right away.
I can't share of.
There's Indians around.
They caught some stranger up ahead.
There's no sight for a woman. Alicia,
you stay where you are.
There's nothing much you can do.
Nothing much anybody can do.
Is he dead?
You might as well be.
We'll leave a sunset.
Where?
Nice young fella at about 30 Curly hair.
Hard to figure out
what he's doing in this party.
Don't be afraid.
Nobody's going to harm you
anyway. Why?
But I come away from the time.
It's not a pretty sight for a boy.
Father,
right? Is too late.
He's laid out there so long
those wounds have festered.
I don't think we can save him.
Where are you gonna take him?
Back Here. Go get that food, boy.
Places infested with. With Sue in years.
What's the matter with him?
Get him out of the son.
Put him in our wagon here.
Alicia, It's the water in some clean rags.
Hey, boy.
What are you doing there?
Wait a minute.
Come back here.
Boy. You guys
know.
When this is starting?
The man's. In. Major.
If we had the proper medication,
we could help this.
I'm telling you, the man is dying.
I don't think there's a thing in the world
can say.
Well, is there somebody on the train
that's got medication that'll help.
Him or no medication?
The man's been cut up like this.
His left lay out in the sun.
As long as he has no medication that
I know of in this world is going to do.
Him any good here.
What are you doing
there, boy? Wait a minute.
I know what he's doing, but whatever it is
in some kind of a reaction,
maybe is some kind of a native
police never saw it before.
Major Adams, that kid.
So that's
what he's doing with those berries.
I saw him down in the wash.
He was crushing them up. Boy.
What is that stuff?
He wants to nurse the man.
Major Adams,
is there any good reason why shouldn't.
Whatever it is, it seems to be working.
It's the first time
the boy's reacted at all Nature.
He wants to help.
He wants to be of some use.
It would be good for him.
I remember your eyes. How?
Marie,
you think you can help this man? See?
All right.
Go to work on you.
I can do it alone,
gringo.
You hear me? Hmm?
Wow. Those are two.
Where are those other two going on?
I make you working, and you tell me
you're not going to die.
I need you.
I saw.
The as the advance party.
Now let's see.
They're talking to
you after the top of the arroyo.
What is it, a w*r party
or a hunting party?
It's not the right part of the country
for a major camp.
I'd say just a hunting party.
Come out of these hills
to pick up some meat scouts.
They're letting them know about us.
And I sure wish we was out of this valley
I don't like.
I'm looking down our throats.
We cannot run them.
We've got to meet them sooner or later.
They look you out there.
Isn't that a big playing area there?
Yeah, that's a big plain area there.
But we wouldn't
be getting out of tomorrow.
By golly, we better circle up
right here in this manner.
I like it. That's as good a place as any.
You sure don't like?
I'm heading this far. We're moving
now. Yeah.
Well, back and bring the wagons here
and tell them to circle up in this matter.
Will you come?
Stop Those
who are hunting for like in meat.
My name is friend Ortega.
What?
I'm pleased to know you.
I want to thank you for talking to the man
for me.
That man That was Major Adams.
He has charge of I Wagon train.
Where do you come from? One.
What do you stand at, boy?
Is that I've watch.
Yeah.
So watch.
My father had a gold watch.
He was going to give it to me.
But you learn to speak English so well.
Well, the Jesuits taught me Jesuits. What?
We're a Santa Caballero mission.
That's where I was raised.
And your family?
My mother was dead, that's all.
And my father was.
I mean,
my father worked very hard.
He was a great man,
but he was a mexican.
He had to travel very far to do many jobs.
And once a year
he would come to the mission.
He brought militias
here, come to take me away,
to start our new life
there.
Don't think about it.
Come on, let's hurry and
take him down. That drive, no doubt.
Make 180 degree walk with your
wagon. Come on, move it out.
Year.
We're going to circle for protection.
Major Adams orders.
Are we staying there?
Just down in that draw, boy.
Come on.
Come on, gringo.
Get well.
We about.
Fairfax.
Come on, get those riders in closer.
Bring us stuck inside the circle.
Carlos boxes high and make sure
there's a one about by every wagon
on your side.
Oh, come on,
Roger.
You stay back here.
Get under cover for starts.
Do you hear me?
There's lots of us, honey.
Everything's going to be fine.
Don't worry about me, James.
Boy, Come here.
Forget about that boy.
Why do you call me boy?
My name is Juan.
You know how to use one of these?
See, that becomes necessary
here.
You use it,
Pringle.
You hear me?
Where are those other two others?
Oh. Oh, Who are you?
We're your two friends.
I want to save them.
Where are they?
Yes, Save Edwards.
However,
I think you might. Want to save them.
Where are they?
This police
is where
I from.
Wash rocks face.
Cliff. Oh.
All Come on, engine.
Step out and get it.
Who is it?
Is that your b*llet?
But where are you?
Bully
with me.
Who are you Sure?
Yourself. Will you stop this?
We've been holed up here for days.
I need water, food.
If you've got any mercy,
man, show yourself.
Are you?
For some reason or other,
they haven't shown themselves.
So we're not going to take a look around
before everything busts out.
While we're gone. We take charge when?
Take care of yourself.
I'll make you pay me.
Garden manager.
Why don't you let me on my pay? Hmm?
Yeah, he's right.
You're too old.
And that is Rice County.
Don't you stay with Wags like he say.
Why don't you just mind your own business
for a change?
Come on, let's.
Sure get in touch anyhow,
you and your big mouth could.
If you like, next,
use 52 is the same address.
We should be giving you 60.
What's the matter?
I don't hear anything. The.
Hold your fire.
Oh, thank the Lord.
White man.
Help me.
Help me.
Here, son.
Here.
Now, easy.
That's enough.
Not too much all at once.
What are you doing out here
all by yourself, mister?
In this country.
Three of us Indians hit us.
We broke for the hills. Edwards and me.
Jarvis.
They got Jarvis.
We could hear him scream all night.
All night. They tortured him.
It was awful.
All right, take it. Easy, Jarvis.
That's our boy's name. Curly headed fella.
We found him. He's still alive.
It couldn't be Jarvis.
He couldn't be alive.
Not after the screams we heard.
And he was more dead and alive.
And we found him easy, Mexican boy.
This with us nursing back to life.
Mexican boy.
Yeah.
What about this other fellows with it?
He's on a cliff.
On top of the ridge there.
If we're ever going to get him,
we better get him now.
You up to it, Mr..
Come on.
We better get started then.
Here.
He's here.
Tuck.
Tuck you around here.
He was going to wait here.
Do you suppose he struck out for help?
Unless the suit got him.
Tuck.
Tuck you around here, Tuck.
Keep your voice down.
You raise every brave
within a quarter of a mile.
Keep quiet.
I better get started back.
Right. Come on, Mr.. This way. Come on.
Nobody around here. I'm sure he's here.
Look, he's frightened to death of Indians.
He wouldn't leave.
Couldn't
we go back and just take one more look?
Only place where you want us back to camp?
Quiet down.
Look, he wouldn't run away like this.
I'm sure he wouldn't.
No. Go back just once more and take a look
and see if we can find them together.
We go back just once more.
What do you make of this?
Tell you one thing.
It's not the work of an Indian.
Why do you figure that.
Indian one time?
Not that way now should walk away
and leave a perfectly good rope.
Well, who else in?
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
You know, you don't think that
I had anything to do with this, do you?
I didn't hang him.
He was my friend.
Keep your voice down. Wait a minute.
I swear to you.
Keep your voice down.
He was alive this morning when I left him.
I didn't hang him.
I'm telling you again.
I didn't hang him. He was my friend.
We better get back to the wagons.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Can't we.
Can't we bury him? Not now.
Come on.
Listen, Mr..
He was my friend.
I didn't hang him.
This looks like your friend.
That's Jarvis.
He's alive.
Yeah. Thanks to our Mexican friend.
They're
listed on his wounds.
I don't know. Some native polish.
As if this man's a friend of yours.
You can thank the boy for his life. Who?
Oh, Major.
Major.
I figured we should get underway
and push on through the night
and get out of this valley.
Mister, if you remember,
I just pulled you out of the brush.
I Why don't you let me run my own wagon
train?
Well, I'm just saying the glorified
settlement's only 8 hours ride from here.
I'm well aware of that.
Then I think we should
push on through the night.
We'll keep this bushwhack away from me,
San. Mrs.
Sardinian tells me that your name is one.
Is there. Any missing?
Well, let me see how my instincts had gone
today.
It just couldn't.
Be that these three fellows
we've come across had anything to do with
hanging your father.
Oh, no.
No. Those are not the men.
No, we.
Mr. Sutton,
I'd like to ask you a favor,
if you don't mind.
You can stay close to that fellow, Jarvis.
What I mean
is, just don't leave him alone with Juan.
But why?
Well, ma'am, I can't quite
put my finger on it, but I'd appreciate it
if you do like I ask.
You find another man out here today.
Been home.
Well, you don't think the boy did it?
I don't know.
When I got a lot of strange things going
on the back of my head, so just keep.
Your eye on him. We sure
as Jarvis.
Oh, his.
Well.
You were
traveling. Alone.
That's right, young king.
You ever see me before, kid?
I saw you an hour ago.
You were looking into the wagon
of your friend.
I think.
Well,
how many men you got out on the flank?
Eight men. That's all I could find.
Well, you've got to change the guard
every 4 hours.
How far out of. The 200 yards.
No time to give us 3 to 5 minutes if we.
See any good.
Major Adams says we should reach Glory
flat by noon
tomorrow.
Cutting to Cousin Verbena
cabins.
Large change room to space.
You come to your senses, Alicia.
He's a mexican.
He's a fine boy,
and he needs a home.
J And we need somebody to live
for beside ourselves.
Oh, for Pete's sake.
So let's see. I never figured on having a.
Six pigs and two horses in the pocket.
J You have your hands full with the crops.
You need somebody to help.
You on a hired hand.
I'll find you a hired hand
when we get there.
That's not what I want, J.
I want a son,
I swear. I'll assure you.
You drive
a man to the edge of his prejudices.
A mexican boy for a son.
Even starting.
Your bank might take advantage. Of that.
Mr.. Starting around. What?
Tomorrow morning we start out.
I'd like to switch positions.
Your wagon.
You've got good, strong teams.
Now, I want to put you back
first. Boy.
Boy said a supper run of.
He slipped away
in there.
What's that?
Had Mexican boys gone
so as Bully Herbert, he was sitting there
just a few minutes ago.
There was something going on around here.
It makes my skin kind of crawl. I don't
know what it is, but I don't like it.
Mr. Thornton?
Yes. No, James.
You stay right by this fellow.
Jarvis, will you, please?
You boys spread out and hunt that kid.
I want to find him.
Oh. Will you stay with Mr.
Jarvis, please? Please.
I must find one on.
What is it, son?
You're
traveling it to me by surprise.
Padre took your bicycle.
What have you been?
We are of the same faith.
One understand?
At any time of the day or night,
I'm available if you want to talk to me.
On the air.
Pondering soon.
And the time is not yet.
Don't stretch God's mercy too far. One.
It's infinite.
But don't deny yourself too long.
To you see me now, young.
You know who I am?
One Ortega Gringo.
Mexican kid.
All right. But Ortega son,
I'm sorry.
And you'll recognize this.
Boy's spots.
Where he knows what it is.
It was my father's.
Wake up.
I want you to be afraid when you die.
I've waited too long for this moment.
Yes, Padre.
My mind is now besieged with doubts
about you.
What?
I spoke with those men out there.
Major Adams knows Buddy
Herbert is missing.
I must tell you, I suspect you
of the most grievous since
those men looking for bully.
What will they find? One.
Are they the men who hanged your father?
And yet, if that were so, this man
would have been part of their deed.
And you gave him back his life.
Perhaps I shouldn't have spoken.
Forgive me, son,
if I judges you wrong
measure.
However.
This army.
The boy. No bully Herbert.
He's over there.
He's still keeps the women.
Mrs. Stark, you didn't leave Jarvis alone
in that wagon.
You were one.
Is that man still alive,
or have you k*lled him to?
I told you I'd take care of them,
didn't I?
I see they got what they deserved.
Why didn't you trust me, boy?
My father would have made a home for us
all the way from Mexico.
I spoke at our home
we would have in California.
He fought very hard all his life.
And he had nothing.
Nothing but his dreams of a home for us.
Then one day come and take me
from the present, he said to me.
We go north one way, start a new life.
That's the kind of man he was.
There was never such a good man.
I would defile my love for him
if I didn't hate this K*llers.
All right, Juan,
you're not out of the rain.
You're k*lling us overnight.
Along. Take care of that, man.
Come on, Get out of here.
Enjoy.
Take cover. I.
No, no, no.
Help me so powerfully.
I can't hear you.
You don't know what you're doing.
You don't know what you're doing.
Your father deserves to die.
Alberto, take.
It was a man who k*lled women.
If he joined at sea,
they're going to k*ll me.
But first, you're going to listen
to the truth about your father.
He started it all my stock.
But Edwards and Herbert,
they had reason to k*ll him.
You've m*rder*d his.
You've k*lled for nothing.
Your father k*lled a woman.
He k*lled a woman. Then
look, Look in the gold rush.
If you don't believe me.
Oh, look,
I know he's afraid to look.
He's afraid to find out what your old man
was like.
And especially Herbert's wife.
And your father m*rder*d
children, called blood
just like he k*lled Tucker
Edwards brother.
So for that reason.
I keep saying that
I believe
in love for a man.
Isn't that what it says?
It wasn't your father's watch at all.
He stole it from Herbert.
That he was your father
murdering,
thieving, mindless man.
And we tracked him clean from Abilene,
and we. Caught him.
And we k*ll him with righteous anger.
Remember that? We.
We had reason to k*ll him.
Holy Mary.
Holy.
My father. God.
Oh, well,
the time has come to cut loose from you
all now, Major.
Yeah.
There's certain you're going to like that
settlement of Glory Flats.
Real nice people there, by the way,
if you get a chance,
stop in the feed store
and say hello to Warren Hastings for me.
Thank you.
We will.
You Just one more favor, Major Adams.
I'd like to try again with the boy.
But we already said goodbye to him.
Please.
I'll go get it.
And in the forest on the Holocaust.
Bless me, Father, for I've seen
Father.
Have you seen one? Oh, there you are. One.
The surgeons are leaving right away.
They like to have a few words with you.
They'll have to wait. Major,
I'm hearing one's confession.
Oh, I'm sorry, Father. Well,
you take your time. I'll.
I'll wait over here. Oh,
I hope you
know what you're letting yourself in for.
Alicia, that boy has scars
that will carry to his grave.
We need him, J.
Even after knowing his background.
Even after all that.
You're a stubborn Dutch woman.
Unless you
watch.
You got the word of God in you.
I'll give you that much.
I k*lled in anger upon me.
But I.
I'm sorry. Now
I am sorry.
In the eyes of God.
That's unimportant, son.
Now you must make your atonement
to mankind
for your cry.
What will they do to me?
You'll have to face this alone one.
But you'll have a fair trial on that.
You have my way.
The negatives are the big ideas to us
in Normandy, Patrick.
It really.
It's pretty sunk to all. Amen.
Say your rosary one
and pray to God for your salvation.
Go in peace, my son.
Is your boy, Mr. Son.
I'll stop back in a couple of minutes.
Good morning, ma'am.
My husband and I are leaving
the train now.
We've got to talk with you.
Have all these people.
You were the only one
who treated me with respect.
I appreciate that.
You know, I wish you good happiness
with your husband in your new home.
Oh, just a minute. One.
I have so much to say to you.
Things which can't be said now
because it just isn't time.
This is going to be our new home out here.
There's place for a strong,
healthy boy around.
If you'd like to come and live with us,
we try to become like family to you
and love you.
Love me.
Can't you understand that.
I have k*lled two men?
We are asking you to be our son.
Father
Martin says there's going to be a trial
that could send me to prison.
We'll deal with that when it comes.
I am a mexican J.
Oh, we're hard working people.
Boy, don't think for a minute
that I'm an easy man.
Well, there'll be soft times to.
What do you say, boy?
My name is one.
All right. One.
Come on and get aboard your family wagon.
So, Sergeant, good luck.
Thanks for everything.
Thank you for tonight.
Hope the land is good to you out there.
Back to.
The. Jail and our father.
I sure hope those people do well,
somehow they've given me a new respect
for the human animal.
Major, may I tell you. About our father?
My father?
I shouldn't open my big mouth.
I've got to. Get a wagon.
Yeah.
Oh, wagon.
We are in.
Europe
a little over a month there in Paris.
All aboard. My the weather.
So the Lord prismatic colors side
by side for the wagons to
wagons for.
A passenger in a.
Winter wonderland present.
We're going to sit down on a board.
I am the weather friend to the Lord.
We stay together side by side. I.
