02x19 - The Last Man

[bunniefuu]

But hey, what we got?

You know, what is it, Car?

You know for sure.

The roughest.

So come on,

let's look at this waterbed and let it.

Hit out in the middle of the night
to look in a water.

Barrel. Just look in the barrel, Willie.

Ice. Yeah. Ice.

I woke up cold,
so I had to make myself some coffee.

Charlie's got to wash it.

Looked at the thermometer.



We feel that cold.

By golly, I'll tell you it is.

You know what that means, don't you?

That means it could snow any day now.

I'll be nice
right in the middle of these mountains.

So pretty lucky so far.

Only a few flurries.

I'll tell you.

We get a real storm.

We could be snowed in inside of five
or 6 hours.

Lord only knows for how long.

It means you're going to have
to get on that horse here and go to work.

I know that there's some passes through
these mountains and other trains of use

where I'd say three or four days.

Are you telling me about the passes?

Yes, I'm telling you, and I'll wake up,
will you?

All right.

I'll get on my horse
just as soon as I've had some breakfast.

Oh, boy. I don't like to rush,

but if you don't find the right pass

for us, maybe a lot of people start
to freeze to death.

That, I assume, means
you are the lead on the trail.

I'll have some coffee
ready for you at the time.

You're ready

and not being a doctor,

I can't give an expert opinion,

but I'd say he's not so much hurt.

Just half. Starved.

Oh, I can't figure out what he was
doing up there in the mountains.

You know, there's some calling Indians up
here.

Always.

He might have been captured
and maybe escaped, huh?

Well, then why do you try to jump me?

He doesn't like you.

Look, I know you find that
hard to believe, but it is possible.

Hey. Hey,

take it easy.

You got nothing to worry about.

You're among friends.

Easy, fellow.

Easy.

No, My back. You all right?

All right, all right.

I'm among friends.

Remember the man told you.

And you tell us your name.

Your name

or a name?

Yes. And?

And it's.

I don't know.

I can't remember.

Do you remember what happened to you?

Do you remember where you're from?

I don't know.

I don't know.

He's in our easy.

Take it easy.

What's the matter? Hey.

Peter.

I fixed him up a good thick broth.

Oh, that's fine.

I'll get a cup derby. It's blazing hot.

Hey, fella, listen,
you can't drink here too fast.

You k*ll your. Man.

Listen, man, wait a minute.

You can have the rest of that.

Now, wait, wait.

He'll be out of his mind with this.

Sure.
Nothing wrong with his teeth. Poor devil.

Well, I better get back out on the trail.

Make sure you got that canyon with you.

We've already lost today.

Oh, what's wrong?

You can't go there.

You can't go there.

Hey, you can't

hit him.

I'll take him. Picture.

Come on, let's go there.

He's just.

He gets.

Sit down, Sit down, sit down.
Get out of here.

I'll sit down. You're all right.

Listen. Me with you.
All right? You're all right.

You hear me?

Easy,

easy.

I want this train to be ready
to roll a minute.

MacArthur gets back here.

Now pass it.

Do you have any luck?

Yeah. I want a pass
if we can get through it. Good.

It's been used before by wagon. Train
when we can get ready. Wait a minute.

Before you move our train.

Darling,
I think you better come and look at.

What you seen.

What the devil do.

You just come and look at it?

Johnny, get my horse.

Yeah.

There it is.

I'll be.

Well,
this is what I didn't want you to see.

Wasn't any sign of life, huh?

No. Let's take a look around anyway.

Oh. This is it.

Real pretty. And

hey, here's some.

Well. No,

nothing.

Here's some.

The McClintock party.

Independence, Missouri is Sacramento,
California.

I'm a clinic party.

You know how long
they've been looking for that outfit and.

Disappeared about a year ago, didn't.

I? Left. Saw them before.

Nobody heard them since.

Oh, Lordy.

Am I ever going to tell that girl?

Hmm? Emerson's daughter,

young fella she was going to
marry, was with that outfit.

That's too bad.

Padilla, back at the train
must be the only survivors.

Yeah, I guess so.

Oh, no, it didn't. Huh?

I wonder how I managed to survive.

Not only nice,

let's get out of here

and sleep.

Hey, fellow

fellow, will you please try to remember

the McClintock wagon train?

Look at this.

When you look at it, doesn't
that mean anything to you?

Just like talking.

To a storm.

Major,

My father said you found the McClintock
wagon train.

That's right. When we did.

You're sure it's not some mistake?

It isn't some other one.

No mistake.

Oh, look,

can I ask him about Selma?

Honey,
the man doesn't even know his own name.

I must talk to him.

It won't do you any good.

I got to know about Jim.

Please

go ahead.

You must help me.

Please.

Please try to understand what I'm saying.

If you were with the McClintock wagon
train, you must have known

James Norton.

Yes, Yes,

please try.

He's 24 and he has a big booming laugh.

But I swear you can hear from five miles.

Please listen.

He's a big man

with a wild shock of red hair
that anyone ever did see.

You get such a feeling of strength
from him.

I could almost hear the world apart

if he didn't mind to.

But as strong as this,

that's how gentle he's.

If you were with that wagon train,

you must have known him.

I don't remember.

You. Ellen.

Ellen, please.

Maybe don't

you don't suppose
anyone else was left alive?

None.

Makes you kind of wonder, doesn't it? Why?

Why? They all die with him.

Major.

Major, Wake up. Wake up!

What do you.

What's the matter?
What do you want? It's gone.

Who's gone?

That stranger fellow?

Where the devil will he leave?

I went. Out to check the horses
and saw him.

Right off.

See which way he headed?

Yeah. He went north.

North, huh?

Yeah,

I know, but I know where he went.

I know. Better get Clint.

My horse said, Come on, Charlie, get mad.

Always.

Hey, what are you doing there?

Hey, wait a minute.

Yeah. No, no, no.

Give it to me. Give it to me in there.

You get me coming.

I'm going to let you get rid of yours.

You listen to me. Give it to me. I get

the diary of William Capehart.

Capehart?

Yeah.

I intend to keep it day by day
account of my journey

from Independence,
Missouri, to Sacramento, which

may be of interest to my dear
wife and child

when they join me in California.

So record of the whole trip,
February 10th.

I wondered why the building
was trying to burn it.

But come on, we've got to get this film
out of here.

Bullock
And I'll give you a heads up right now.

You have to get in.

Barnum at the ruins.

Yeah.

Oh. Really?

Well, you

all right?

Following it down. No.

No. Listen,
I told you I was sorry I had to hit you.

Now nobody's going to bother you here.

Come on, Get out

and take him in the wagon.

Bill,

I think

you better get yourself some coffee and
something to eat and get back on the job.

I want to get out of here today.

Say you.

What was he doing when you found him?

He was trying to burn this kind of another
wagon train.

How about some flapjacks?

Well,
no, I does have time for some coffee.

May I look at the diary?

I don't think you'd find a very pleasant
reading.

Please. It might mention Jim.

She has a right to look at it
if she wants to.

Flint. Please.

Your father.

I think you reckon with.

I'd like to know what's inside there.

I would like to read it alone.

Now. Ellen, don't read any more of that.

It won't do any good.

I want you to hear some of this.

You should all listen.

December 9th.

Still it snows. Will it ever stop?

Two more children died today.

Joan Hagan, aged eight,
and the Larson baby

who was not one year old,

buried them in the snow.

Everyone
but George Stanton attended services.

Later, there was a big squabble.

Some of the people saying
that upon returning

from burial
that some of their rations were missing.

Though this looks bad for Denton,

I cannot believe any human being
would do such a thing.

God rest the two little children.

They are finally at peace.

Christmas Day.

Everyone is ill and growing weaker,

except George Denton,
who somehow remains in good health.

Despite our hardships.

January 4th, snow

fast losing all hope.

Mr. Marsh and Helen
Blake died during the night of starvation

here we

are reduced to boiling hides in snow water

until they melt into a sort of glue.

Despite its dreadful taste,

No one refused to portion

no one but Denton,

who continues to thrive,

Know how?

I do not know.

February ten,

everything that can be used
has been eaten.

All our animal, our dogs

even peeled mind,

not even hides are left.

Four of us remain alive.

Very weak.

Can hardly write

Denton alone remain strong and well.

He has the last the ammunition.

We have none.

God help us,

Ellen.

Let me alone.

We know who you are and what you've done.

We know that you're George Denton.

This is the trailer the clinic party took.

We'll turn off here and go down into this
canyon at the base of it.

It's very narrow
and it's filled with timber.

But I figure with two days of hard work,
we ought to be able

to hack our way through. Now,
once through there.

This is a meadow.

It goes in the rolling
hills and we pick up here.

Hey, fella,

you better get back in that wagon.

My name is George Denton.

Yeah, I know.

That's why I'm telling you.

Get back in the wagon.

Oh, Well, how long do you think
it'll take to clear that place up?

Like I said today?

Well, that's fine.

Said here at Salem Point,
we pick up the migrant road.

But you tell me that.

How tough is it right down in here
where you said we had to hit her.

Which we said to raise a hard work,
but I think we can make it.

Well, it's all right, then.

These are

the engine.

Then put that razor down
and get in the wagon.

I never wore a beard.

Even during the worst days

when the rest of them
began to look like apes.

Do the world a favor. Cut your throat.

Give me that razor, then.

I haven't finished with it.

All right, I'll wait.

You go ahead and finish shaving
and you get in the wagon

like I told you,

You don't.

Look no different than anybody else.

He's different.

Yes, dear. Different?

Yeah.

What have they got against me?

You should know.

A man's got a right to stay alive.

Let those others die like heroes.

They shouldn't look like heroes.

And they didn't like it
when I said I wasn't going to die.

And I didn't.

I'm here alive with food in my belly.

To boast about it.

Damn, you should be ashamed.

I have a

I'll.

Get back in that wagon.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Our scout has finally gotten around
to earning his pay

so we can get on the move again.

Plan to start hitching up right away, and
we'll be on the road inside of an hour.

Major, what about Dan?

When he stole food for himself,
he was k*lling those people

as surely as though he used a g*n.
Where's the. g*ns? Quick?

Yes, indeed. It's more mean.

Let the authorities take care of Dan.

Why wait that long?

What would you suggest, Mr. Harris?

I got some high grade rope in my wagon.

Like I said, inside of an hour,

I would be on the trail.

Well.

I don't like people looking at me
like that.

Just like those in the other wagon train.

It makes me sick.

You know what

those five people in the party
tried to do?

They tried to k*ll me.

I'm telling you, they tried to k*ll me.

I wonder why.

You don't believe they tried to k*ll me.

Well, let me tell you.

Why don't you just sit down and shut up?

They all said.

Almost.

How's it going out to all right.

I guess

somebody seems very happy about that.

Passenger, passengers, Nobody.

And I'm not either.

Is there any way to bypass that McClintock
camp?

No, no.

Let's get it over with.

Come on back, you wagons, everybody.

I'm going to roll now.

Let's get goin, wagon.

Hey, I want to keep moving right through
here.

Don't stop for anything, all right?

No matter what, keep on moving.

Don't stop.

In this camp, Brittany,

He's been out of the cameras right?

Oh, Oh, and.

We got 20

like the devil this happened Build.

Oh, they hit that rock back there.

Diana.

Hey, do you know if your voice doesn't
give us

valuable backup
that was recorded by his ex-lover?

He's got a spare right

one. Right.

You like to borrow that? It's
actually yours.

I hope you jumped in with it.

Now you good work.

Well.

You fellows give him my hand.

Get him in the wagon
this time. You better time up. Good.

I guess I better

not try.

I still

see a little tighten up now,

Major.

Yeah.

How much longer will it take?

We're almost finished
now. This is k*lling Ellen.

Look at her.

Why the devil?

And you keep her in the wagon.

Believe me, I tried.

I'll keep at it, Bill.

All right, come on.

Let's get that wheel on.

Look, Mama,

look what I found.

Can I keep it?

No. Chris,

go sit by the fire.

Come on.

I'll.

It wouldn't be so awful if.

If I knew what one was.

Jimmy.

But not even to know that he's here.

Not even to know where to look.

I know, honey.

I know.

Pretty good, isn't it?

Supplying free.

Transportation to the.

Skunk who help do all this.

I can't stand it

that I can't stand looking at that wagon
knowing he's inside.

Say, I hate him.

I maj

you wouldn't say I was a hothead
like our friend Harry's here?

I don't think so, No. Why?

Well, I think we should settle with Danton
here and now, right where it happened.

This is a wagon train, Mr.

Wentworth, not a jungle. You're right.

But a wagon train is
just like civilization in miniature people

from many different countries, different
faiths, many different backgrounds.

So though the basic laws of humanity
should apply to us

just as much as they do to any community.

Yeah, right, right, right.

Why don't you get to the point, Wentworth?

The point is that civilized

people have always had the right to deal
with criminals like Daniel.

Forget Ellen.

Major remembers some.

Of the things
Capehart wrote in that diary.

He watched. Sigmund starve to death.

And heard them beg for the food that he.

Had stolen.

And that meant nothing to him.

He took food
that belonged to children. And he.

Stood there and watched those children die

and k*ll them.

Then back here.

Well, you I'm going to tell you
once and once over, I'm going to tell you

my men and me, I've got g*ns.

I'd hate to use them on you,

but if you go in there
and try to get them, you'll force me to.

We can deal with them.

We'll do it.

It's not where it says civilized men.

That's the way we want it.

All right, then the first thing we do is
see that he gets a fair hearing.

He's Capehart diary.

Enough as one piece of evidence. Yes.

That diary is only one man's word.

There may be other things around here
that'll tell us a different story.

How can that be?

I don't know. But we can find out.

We'll sift through everything
in this whole camp, find any books, any

letters, anything that'll tell us anything
about them for him or against him.

Is that fair enough? Yes.

All right, then we'll forget about
pulling out a daybreak like we planned.

We can't.

We'll give ourselves two or three days.

It'll take that
much at least to do it right.

Two or three days.

It's liable to cost.

Most of the people in the wagon
train their lives.

Lives? Right?

You might just as well face it.

And how do you figure that. Charlie?

Go see what that thermometer says.

What does it read?

Charlie Murphy stands right at 38.

Measure the.

That shouldn't surprise
you folks too much.

See the ladies here with the shawls on

the coffee
pots have been doing a real good business.

Take a look at that sky of their case.

You don't know what those are.
Snow clouds.

How can it snow? Very hard in October?

I don't know.

According to the almanac, it can't do.

You ought to believe the almanac.

Or do you want to believe that ice your
found on your water barrels this morning.

It's easy standing around here in our warm
clothes with our bellies full

and all of our wagons
full of good supplies, everything we need.

The very best of everything.

Meat, flour, dried fruit, everything.

Really easy for us
to talk about a man like Denton.

But if we get caught in the snow,

maybe we won't be so quick to judge
when our food is gone.

And we've eaten all our livestock,

and we're down to where we boil
in the heights and even the harness.

And then we go out
looking for field mice to eat.

Then we really begin to starve.

Then it's a question of whether you
stay alive or whether you die in a snow.

And who knows, maybe we'll find a death
in there, too, in our own outfit.

I don't think so.

But you can't be sure,
can you, Mr. Emerson?

Nobody can be sure
just where a man's breaking point is.

Not until that point is reached.

We can't stay here.

We can't be trapped in the snow.

Mary, be quiet.

And I've got two babies to worry about.

Doesn't that mean anything?

Who's not supposed to get.

What about our kids?

Are we supposed to take a chance
on them dying

so that Danton can have
what you call a fair trial?

Yes, I agree with.

Good point.

We're all supposed to be civilized people.

Isn't that what you said, Wentworth?

That doesn't mean we should jeopardize
the lives of the entire train.

I couldn't agree more.

So why don't we do?

Like I said, we take him with us and
turn him over to the proper authorities.

I'll guarantee you,
you won't get away again.

Wentworth, I have been here for a while.

I don't want it on my shoulders.

I mean it. Staying here
is going to get us into trouble.

And I know
Ellen feels the same way about it.

All right, then. Let's hear
no more about it.

We pull out of DAYBREAK.

Let's drag Captain off now.

Get it over now.

Why don't you come down here? It's

all right, boys.

Let him go.

Let him alone.

Get in

with him.

And the. Reason he.

Shot himself,

he tried to aim for his heart.

Yeah.

I know where I got this g*n.
I don't. Know.

But I guarantee I'm going to find out.

John, I get them out of it.

Wait a minute.

Wentworth told me
that he had some newfangled instruments.

Why don't you go get him?
Ask him. Got him.

Give us a hand.

As he dead.

I said to one with the Major
wants to see you right away. Why?

You're the closest thing to a doctor
we have.

This man's pretty bad off.

But I'm not a doctor and therefore
not bound by any of the laws of medicine.

What is that supposed to mean?

Tell the major I'm sorry,
but the answer is no.

But this man could die.

That man is responsible
for a lot of other people dying

in a car.

Wentworth, what's keeping you? Mr.

Wentworth says the answer is no. Oh,

the rest of you agree with that, do you?

You put him

well this Sunday
when your prayer books are open,

your voices are raised in sacred hymns.

You won't mind
if I laugh out loud with you.

The good book says an eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth.

Maybe you know more about that than I do,

but it seems to me
it also says Vengeance is mine.

So say it.

The Lord is bleeding again.

Let go get went for his medical care.

Mr. McCullagh,
those supplies are my property.

McCullough In case any of these
civilized citizens try to stop you,

you've got a g*n. Use it.

I don't need a g*n.

Wait.

All right, I'll get the medical supplies,

but we'll take this matter up again later.

Major

Clark?

Yeah.

There's some stuff in there.

Crop collodion?

Yes, Particularly.

About some of it.

And some cotton wool.
Didn't give it to me.

This sure looks poorly.

That's about all we can do for.

For now.

Keep that press tightly wound.

I beg all to

forgive me.

He left this note.

Oh, I beg all the. Forgive me.

George Denton.

I sure don't.

Like the way he

was. Probably doing the best he can.

Charlie. It is a major commitment.

It was a matter.

He can't be cured.

Stan. Look. Look at my handwriting.

Same in the diaries
it is here on the note.

We've seen through. The names.

I believe you're right.

This is Mr.

William Capehart.

And why did he say? Was that?

Probably because we told him he was

period.

He's out of his head.

We did hold him as the king of England.

He, too, believed it.

I think we owe it to him
that I go out and tell the people.

Yeah, I do, that we

it's true.

But how could it be?

The handwriting's the same.

He is Capehart.

But if we had brought him
out of that wagon.

And used some of Harris's free rope,

had that have been pretty, wouldn't it?

God forgive us for what we almost did.

Sometimes I wonder if God doesn't get
just a little tired

of forgiving.

Well.

Leading stuff, but he's still unconscious.

Better sit down, Major. Thanks to.

Oh. If he ain't, then

why did he try to burn his diary?

And why did he try to k*ll himself?

I don't know

how hard he stay.

Alive until we.

Found him.

Harris, I can't give you

any neat little answers
all wrapped up like a package.

I don't know.

Anybody knows that when the snow melts,
that there's berries to eat,

bark of a tree or grass.

If he was able to hit a rabbit
in the head of the rock, who knows?

I don't.

Maybe the will to live
had something to do with it.

Besides,
he wasn't much alive when we found him.

Anyhow, even if he were. Dead.

What right did we have to be?

Judge, jury and hangman?

You didn't talk like that before.

None of us talk that way before.
Thank you.

Our problems
with the man inside, our unfinished.

What do you mean?

About to tell them Major

malfunction.

I usually make the decisions on my train.

But since all of your lives are at stake,

I think you should make this one.

I want you to realize that

when a man makes a decision,

he's got to accept the responsibility
for that decision.

So here's your problem.

If we pull out of here tomorrow morning,
like we planned,

his every chance in the world,
that that man in that wagon

will start to bleed again.

And if he starts to bleed, he's
all through.

On the other hand,

if we stay here and we get snowed
in, well, just look around you.

You can see what might happen.

I'm not going to presume
to make this decision for you people.

You're going to have to make it yourself.

When you say pull out in the morning,

we pull out.

Sometimes God doesn't forgive it

and let it go at that.

Well, what's it going to be?

We'll stay on top course.

We take a chance on a man
bleeding to death.

You know, Bill,

a man can just drive himself batty
trying to figure people out.

But don't ask me
what I'd have said if he was really down.

Major.

He's coming out of it.

Easy, fella.

Take it easy now.

You're all right.

What happened?

You shot.

Yourself,

but you're going to be all right.

Where am I?

Here with my wagon train.

Who are you?

I'm Seth Adams.

With an eclectic party.

We're snowbound and desperate.

Trouble with starving in need of food. Oh,

that's wrong.

It's too late for this.

Some woman

told me that our George Stanton
always had a dream.

We know you're not George Tappan.

I doubt

I didn't know who I was.

I only knew that I'd

done something wrong.

I had to keep
everybody away from the place.

Something very wrong.

I She said that I was ten.

I told myself it must be true.

And that's why I wanted to k*ll myself.

You're not down

here, William Capehart.

Well.

Capehart,

you wrote this diary.

You remember that diary?

I tried to burn?

I remember now

what I did.

It never stops.

No, I

never.

We grow hungry and sick.

We can't die

every day.

One, two or three

buried in the snow.

Yeah.

Of how I

walk through the

valley of the shadow of death

Shall fear no evil

Thou art with me,

Sarah.

He's all right.

Finally,

there were just the three of us,

James Norton, myself

and Charles Tear

down was waiting for us to die

somehow. I don't know.

We hung on.

Day after day.

He watched and waited.

You know,
I couldn't leave anyone in my home.

I thought he'd done.

Oh, it was so quick

of a single kick, his boot.

He goes, I cross it and I.

And then one night he said,

he said,

If you're alive,

when I wake up in the morning,

he won't be alive for long.

Now, Dad was asleep and Joe and I got it.

He got mine.

We were told to do anything about it.

Jim was almost dead.

He couldn't talk anymore
and I couldn't breathe.

But thinking I had somehow

living through the night and down
k*lling him.

No, I had a knife.

And in the dark,

I crawled down my sleeping.

I was pounding.

I was closed

that I quoted
crowded, saying it was waking up.

It came out with a knife.

Please, come on, wake up.

It was all right.

It was just.

I mean, I'd reached

I raised a knife
over the whiteness of his throat

and that

I couldn't

I couldn't k*ll.

But I must

k*ll, k*ll, k*ll him all together.

He was waking up

to it now.

I punched the knife down.

That's the last thing I remember

of anything.

You know, young lady, you're taking on
quite a bit of work for yourself.

Our wagon is roomier than yours for

Helen.

Don't try to fool me.

I want to take care of him.

Maybe that way I won't feel so ashamed.

Honey, there's nothing wrong with shame.

You know, it's funny.

The only animal in the whole world to feel
shame is a human animal.

You want to take care of a patient?

Yes, Major.

One. Charlie, let's get ready to roll.

All right, you folks get loaded up and
all right away.

Hurry up now.

What's that silly grin on your face for?

You know, Major, when I first met you.

Well, to put it very frank,
I didn't think you were any too bright.

Oh, but it's amazing what a couple
of years with me has done for you.

Well, boy, I just want you to know
that I'm really grateful to you.

You know?

Oh, Wagon train.

On the prairie where there ain't.

No rats all over mountains
where the has gone aboard.

I am the weather, Prancer the Lord.

We stay together
side by side for the wagons, for

wagons.

Train.

Oh, and a passenger in.

A winter wonderland.

Be said, we're going to sh**t to

look the polar.

Good Looking for a girl
needn't can be pretty

if she ride all the wagons for

wagon.

Oh, God.

To keep them on the long line to go

and follow the snow

all alone wagon to

never had a cabin in Virginia.

Frost don't.

Oh won't get out of poverty.

Always sit on a board crying
The weather bring to the wall

We stay together side by side.

All the names they.
