04x31 - The Will Santee Story

[bunniefuu]

So if

they give us any objection, what uses

they are in the wagon.

Let's go.

Month

by Business.

Does not pay for this.

Nobody.

You get your clothes,
you're plundering your hide

to count your blessings and go.

Where do you suggest With a place
where you here

No place
where you in laws and civil society.

Just keep going west.

I'll tell you something.

From where they come

from to.

No good,

they should know that by now.

My wife has 20

Well, helped me up.

They can go.

West clean to Japan
and you'll not find a place to light.

Head west, he said, as
if the land would swallow us up,

as if it would be any different from
what we'd already come through.

I didn't want to let on to my
how I felt inside,

but she didn't have to be told
it was getting too big for me to hide.

I figured to hit the Oregon Trail in a day
or to pick up a wagon train.

We had $148 a couple of tired horses
and a nickel's worth of hope.

We didn't make it.
Now there'd be nothing left to run with

Middleton.

That's what they'd call themselves.

As if a name could cover up for you.

Get seen as they was here,
you know, all the way from Saint Louis.

Expect that will make the folks
around here somewhere.

They're not giving us
any more credit for brains.

But that's not how you run the barn.
Naturally not.

What was the reason?

You serious? Of course.

Pretty stupid question.

Forgive me then,
but why didn't you leave them alone?

Let me ask you a stupid question, mister.

How'd you like it
if they live next door to you or slid

in along
side of the in church of Sunday morning

or so, that young lady
is off to school with your kid?

How would you like it if they picked.

Your town to settle in, huh?

I'm afraid I'd give you a stupid
answer to that.

But here

by yourself, another box of matches.

You'll probably have some more bonds
to burn.

About sundown.

On the third day, we came to the Oregon
Trail west of Fort Kiowa,

and sure enough,
there was our wagon train.

We looked down at the camp
and I got a cold feeling

in the pit of my stomach
I could tell myself into.

And out of

pretty.

Shall I say, something.

Like this little try.

Hello.

Hello. Are you traveling alone?

We are now.

We plan to join the train
there. They'll have us.

Oh, don't worry. You'll be welcome.

Are you going to California?

This going with no matter where you go.

We're going to California.
We have relatives in Sacramento.

I wonder if you could tell me
where I could find a wagon master.

At the west end of the camp.

His name's
Christopher Hill. Thank you kindly.

You know, burn our wagon

when they don't even think about that,

We just leave it up to everyone.

They ran a side of Chicago,
Leighton February.

And Saint Louis.

And Saint Louis.

And from there we went to Independence.

We thought we'd made it there for a while.

It was a lively town, a lot of strangers
and people coming through on the way west.

Nobody paid as much attention.

And one day a man came into the store
where I'd got a job

and he turned out to be a reporter
from the Chicago papers.

When was that? In June.

You know, we figured we were wrong
and trying to settle in a big town.

We found a little one just outside
of Denver place called Juniper Creek.

That's where they burned your barn down?

Yeah, I.

I thought for a time
they plan to do away with us.

So here we are.

We've run out of money to run with.

And if you don't take us,
I suppose we'll make it alone.

You can't do that.

So we're raising
thunder between here and south.

Part of the soil. Anywhere.
Some way, folks.

All in the world.

A wagon train is.

Is another town
pretty much like the one you just left.

But you're running it, aren't you?

I take you on.

I expect I'll find out.

How are you going to eat supper someday?

There I was, Charlie.

Spear being with us.

Nothing's dishing it up right now.

You stay put for a minute or two.
I want to talk this over.

For the Say.

You want to think it over?

I told them everything.

Oh, I don't know that I've done that.

You tell them about Lamont.

When they shot.

I'm tired.

That's what you always say.

For now,
you'll do as you're told, young lady.

What's your name, girl? Wendy.

Wendy Sheridan.

And where are you from?

Saint Louis, 401 Shantou Avenue.

My palms k*lled in a fire engine accident.

And we're traveling west to Sacramento
to see my Aunt Henrietta.

And I went to LaSalle Grammar School.

I forget the rest.

So you're doing fine.

Just don't write it off like a parent.

Pretty tough decision
for you to make, Chris.

You generally people
out of your own country like this.

Can you, Mr. Chris?

What's on your mind? Mr. Hill?

Just thinking of another
wagon train. Iran wants



out of Santa Fe, 440 M in San Diego,

three days out of Saguaro Springs.

Somebody recognized the blacksmith
in the border w*r.

Turned out he was a red leg.

Knight Rider, not too particular
who he k*lled at 40 or 50.

Missouri is with us. What happened?

A snake came out of his blankets
one morning before

sun up and hung up to a cottonwood tree.

Well,
I hardly think this will come to that.

No. Nobody's suspicion
a boy like that to look at him.

Butter. Would he melt his mouth?

Thanks.

It's generous of the.

Well, do we go and stay?

You go with us.

The first thing about to do
is get that chip off your shoulder.

I'm sorry.

I guess I'm just getting touchy.

I ought to

thank people for all the nice things
they done for us, but I'm just ungrateful.

I guess I'll. Just simmer down, son.
Simmer down.

I'm sick of it.

Nobody's got a right to Just.

A minute to fry pans on the fire here.

Won't do for you to mix them up.

One of them's
what the four of us think. And the others.

The job we hold out to do.
Take 285 people.

Good, bad and just plain miserable.

From St Kilda, Sacramento.

We take you on
the word gets out who you are.

We're liable to have a fight on our hands.

It'll bust up this whole outfit.

You understand that?

Yeah, I guess so.

Word will get around now.

You'll just be the Sheridan,
That's all I say. Taken

down.

Whatever you say. Chris is enough for me.

The way I feel about it.

Well.

Come on, I'll show you where to camp.

And that's their name.

I didn't get a chance to make this one,
to know where to find the way to master.

And I told them the strange one.

Fred.

Yeah.

How far south to the nearest settlement.

Now, let me think.

It would be Juniper Creek.

I think it's about 50 miles.

What do you suppose
would prompt three people

to take a 50 mile ride
through Indian territory all alone?

Did you find your camp all right? Yes.

Mr. Hale gave us the directions.

He showed me the kitchen.

Oh, it's good water.

There's a down log right over there.

And how the firewood.
Thanks. I'll find it.

That's neighborly of you.

And I better be getting back.

If there's anything we can do to help
you get settled, just let us know.

Thanks, Miss.

I suppose you know
more about tactics in a case like this.

And I've been through enough of it.

The Lord. No,

Mr. Hill, I can't tell you how
grateful we are that you took us in.

I hope it turns out to be a favor.

What do you mean?

And all kinds of people
in the South with. No.

That won't bother us none.

With 10,000
tip to ourselves as much as we can.

May not be as easy as you think.

Four or five weeks on a wagon train

set you up in an apple sack with a lot of
different kinds of people questioning.

You know, you might be seeing more
than you intend to.

I'd be careful. Mr. Hale.

For the last


the look and glance of everyone around me.

I thought out every word I've said before.

I said, it gets to be second nature.

We can in the night with a cold chill
at every noise and in the daytime,

watching the faces, watching the faces
of everyone that passes.

The friendly ones,
the strange ones are often

looking for that first sign of suspicion.

First Flight eight,

waiting for it to come

back.

A man with his head on the block
waiting for the ax to fall.

Don't you worry, Mr. Hill.

We'll be careful.

Jesse.

Your name is Jesse McDermott.

How do you know what you're asking?

Ask the kids to croak
when she come to fetch rotted.

She's a first rate cooker.

So I heard.

She's a real character.

Wendy, huh?

How many different kinds of wildflowers
did you pick this morning? 14.

She fetches the water
and does the dishes. Read.

That worked real hard.

Parking his hand while back.

She then sheriff again was.

To pay for her.

The nice girl for you to know.

Seems like you've done
quite a job of work, Mr.

Busybody.

Why don't you tell her you're looking for
a girl who says he's looking for a girl?

You did. He said he's the age boy.

You're not the age
for bringing it to his attention.

So that be enough on the subject,
young lady.

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Hardesty's.

He's playing for the dance tonight.

You can talk to him
for ages. His first dream.

I thought you might like to go.

I've got him in this harness
before tomorrow morning.

He doesn't play very often.

I'm sorry.

We aren't much of a family for dancing.

I'm sorry to bother you tonight.

Can I?

I thought you didn't like that.

Oh, hi.

You can tide them any harness.

Oh, if I get my fingers. Yes.

So I just thought I'd stop by
and take a look.

What do you think of it?

I think it's first rate.

You know, it's been a long time
since I've seen any dancing.

I thought I played the fiddle. Plays
very well.

I. Well, I know.

I bet you a very good dancer.

What gave you that idea?

I can tell by the way you tap your foot.

Or anybody can have their foot.

Like to dance. Miss you.

I think

I like it.

Let me help you.

Hi. Thank you. But

did you have a good time last night?

I guess.

My man's a powerful fiddler.

He's gonna play Tuesday night.
He promised.

Oh, look, what a nice dance for five days.

I'm going to make a pie.

Well, I declare.

That's such a surprise. Yes.

You don't look much like a pie over to me.

I made the best pie in Cedar Creek Valley
before I turned 16.

And you asked me real plans.

Sometime I'll show you the blue ribbon
I won.

A man can't eat a blue ribbon.

I'm pretty hard to please
when it comes to pay.

You know it isn't every blackbird
Pyle Eat mine.

I'm not so sure.

You look pretty young to be a first rate
pie maker.

You couldn't be more than 17.

I'm past 18.

Have you?

Try your pie out and anyone outside
of your family on your boat, for instance?

I haven't got any bows.

And as far as my pie making goes,
I've been told by a good many

that I'm natural born
and I'll prove it to you.

You just wait. All right. Thanks.

Bye bye. Bye.

Sure she's pretty, but you can't just walk
up to a girl like that and tell her so.

It's not like running down an antelope.

He loved to chase a girl away.

If you rush out like that,
you've got to take it slow and carefully.

Well. I know what you're going to say.

I don't care.

But the thing is, with a girl,
you've got to always

tell her something beside what
you're thinking, or she might run off.

You can tell her
she's pretty, feel her muscle.

And if she can cook and chop wood
and read at the house.

Well, she's. Liable to smack you one.

Isn't that right? Now, I.

I don't know.

Why don't you ask the young lady? Oh,

I just

finished giving one
to hear of finally talk about courtship.

I'm sorry I missed the beginning.

My mother would like to invite
you all over for pie BlackBerry.

I made it myself.

She wins blue ribbons with her pies. Mom.

Not tonight. I'm awful sorry, young lady.

It was sweet of your mother to invite us,
but we're all tied up.

Oh, we don't have to stay late.

I'm not tired, Mom.

I'd love some berry pie.

I've already made rice pudding.

Oh, it'll keep.

We'll be there.

I'll read up you after supper.

Thanks for the invitation.

You tell your mom
we'll be there and a half an hour.

It'll be nice to get acquainted.

We'll see you all directly.

Bye Bye.

They're just trying to be neighborly. Like

they were neighborly and Juniper Creek.

They're like a herd rabbit.

Now, you can't count a whole
the rest of your life.

Down south is getting cold.

You can't be a rabbit, Mom.

First and neighborly.

And they're friendly

and a curious.

You know as well as I do.

Well, this is no time to start
keeping company with a girl.

Oh, it doesn't do any harm
just to be nice to her.

That's all it amounts to. I hope so.

How about tell him
a doggone thing will cost my life.

And yourself seven.

I want you to know

my daughter can make circles around me
when it comes to buy.

I've already bragged enough on that
for the rest of the trip.

No, I want to hear more.

I want to hear about the blue
ribbon again.

I think she's trying to impress you, Will.

Mark and I raised first rate horses.

We ought to see our ranch back in Ohio.

Most beautiful

blooded riding stock in the world,
just across the river from Kentucky.

Cedar Creek Valley.

Better friend.
What do you think of that pie?

Oh, that's about as good as.

Pie can be.
Oh, you don't have to say that.

I mean it.
If it was such a nice ranch, Mr.

McDermott, why did you leave it there?

Maybe he doesn't want to talk about that.

Oh, no, that's
Where Did you folks say you were from?

Saint Louis? Oh, yes.

Sort of a seesaw kind of estate.

I mean, as far as the w*r went.

Well,
you might as well know we favor the South.

Well, I can speak freely, then.

That's why we left our ranch.
I favored the South, too.

Sold them cavalry stock during the w*r.

It made a lot of feeling
against us in the valley.

But my say, a man's
got to follow his own life.

And I expect he does.

There's a powerful lot of prejudice
there now.

Nothing a man can fight against.

Just coldness, ice cold silence
all around.

There's nothing in the world
we love more than that ranch.

We couldn't stay there.

They made us leave.

So we sold out,
packed up and headed for California.

Going to buy some breeding

stock out there and raise my horses
in the Sacramento Valley.

From here on in,

you know,

blind prejudice is a fearsome thing.

A fearsome thing.

So we started West

the next morning feeling like maybe
we left the hate and misery behind us.

The blast in the sky
I had had welcome written.

On it from one horizon to the other.

I'm glad to see you enjoying yourself.

Life.

You know,
got to let down every now and then.

What do you mean by that?

Nothing.

Excuse us.

With how

I was.

As I said before we left,
we should have taken the boat.

First thing you do when we make camp is
get out that barrel of trying the dishes

and kick them over. To me,
those dishes are broken.

I die.

Yes, but,

Jesse, I've been wondering
where you and Will went after the dance.

Last night we took a walk, which is to run
about none of your business.

You just asked me about Cedar Creek
before.

I know.

I told him my life history.

He tell you he's no good?

You asking?

He just told me
he doesn't like to talk about himself.

I like him very much.

Well, so far, so good.

Like every single one of them, Fred, That
was the bumpier stretch on the road. Yes.

Thank you.

It would be a powerful lot of comfort
to me in my declining years if you cared

half as much about my brittle bones
as you do these giant dishes.

Don't fret yourself.

If you broke in half, I'd cry.

What kind of
do we make in the thermos Stew?

What's that?

You take everything that you have left
over and boil it up in

a pot with three onions.

Square,
Jessie, and well down by the crate.

You know, I think he's stuck on her.

I got the same impression.

We never had a girl before.

Agnes.

A broken one.

Come here.

Wendy.

I can't believe that a boy will.

They never had a girl before. That's true.

It must be lots of pretty girls
in Chicago.

Children of

Chicago? Yes.

What?

We come from Saint Louis.

We lived at 401 shop, two Avenue.

My house k*lled in the fire
engine accident.

And we're traveling west
to see my Aunt Henrietta and I went to.

The South Grammar School.

I never lived in Chicago.

I ain't even been there.

My name is Wendy Sheridan.



I'm sorry, Jesse.

I'm mad.

I shouldn't have done that.

I've been helping you kiss me for days.

I better get back with

the matter.

Will.

I shouldn't be kissing you.

I've got no business doing that at all.

Well,

I love you, Cathy.

Oh, I.

Help me.

I love you. Oh,

I've got to tell you something.

I've got to tell you straight out
with no trimmings, excuses.

And when I tell you, you can go
your own way and I'll understand.

You remember that?

I don't care what it has.

My name isn't Sheridan.

It's Will Santi and Monsanto's
brother Lamont.

Maybe your folks didn't
let you read about it in the papers.

He was hung last winter.

They called him
the criminal of the century.

He took an ax to two girls from Bethany
Church one night after choir practice.

Nine.

When he and I are all a threat to
the family, my father couldn't stand it.

He k*lled himself
six weeks after it happened.

They ran us out of Chicago

and in Independence and St Louis
and Juniper Creek were still running.

They said Lamont was crazy.

They had bad blood on them.

That's the same blood that I've got.

I can't help it.

I've got it.
I've got his blood running in me.

I can run away from the rest of it,
but I can't run away from that.

I wouldn't matter.
It says I've come to love you, Jesse

and Marcellus.

This was no
time to be keeping company with the girl.

And I guess she was right.

So you better be on your way.

Well, I still don't care.

I don't care what your brother did.

I only care about you.

You better talk it over with your ma.

It doesn't matter what my ma has to say.

Well, my pa either

means that you have Santee.

He just told me it's about time.

I don't care who he is.

But I do.

You get back to camp.

There's

something wrong with.

You now.

You seem so quiet.

So there's nothing wrong.

What do you reckon is ailing him?

You too.

I know what's wrong with me.

I told.

Told what?

About Chicago?

I didn't mean to, Ma.

I was just sitting there talking with Mrs.
McDermott.

She's got a deep love dog.

I don't need itself to ask about Chicago.

And I said no.

No one Saint Louis that I lived on
Chapel Street.

My name is Wendy. There is

no. Maid.

I talk to you.

Good evening, Mr.

McDermott.

I, uh.

I don't want to interfere
with your fixing supper.

Not at all.

Won't you sit down? I just assumed stand.

Thank you.
I won't take too much of your time.

That is what I have to say.

Won't wait. That is not very long.

Why don't you just say it straight out?

Mr. McDermott would sound pretty blunt
if I did.

And I don't want to be unkind.

You've got to understand that.

Lord knows I've had troubles
enough of my old.

Lady friend to be down by the creek
and fetches pail of water.

I already did.

And go fetch another pail going Now,

first off.

I want you people to know
that I understand what you are up against.

I wouldn't feel it all the way I do
if it weren't for my daughter. Mr.

McDermott,
you don't have to go through all that.

Well.

Now. It's hard for a man
to find ways to say it gently.

I know it is leading up to

son. I'm glad you understand.

I didn't say that.

I didn't say I understand.

I'm not you, Mr. McDermott.

I'm Will, Sam.

And I heard inside
like someone stuck a knife in me.

But I'm not going to make it hard on
Jessie.

I won't see her anymore, I promise.

Thank you.

I was hoping.

Just a minute.

Just a minute.

Who is the rabbit now?

Hush, Mama.

Sit down with me.

I said sit down.

You say you understand?

I wonder if you do.

I wonder if you could ever understand
what it means

to have a child
like Lamont, to have been proud of him.

What's a healthy,
smiling £9 baby boy looking up at you

out of his cradle, your first born?

And to have that pride begin
to crack around the edges

as the months grow into years
and the dumps begin to creep in.

First, the temper tantrum and the cruelty,

the pouring colon
and the cat sitting at the fire

and beating on the neighbor boy's pony
until it bled,

tying up his brother
in an abandoned shack,

driving the neighborhood
to have crazy all night looking for it.

You couldn't understand that, Mr.

McDermott,
unless you had a child like Lamont,

you couldn't know how to help

you go to a school doctor.

He is trying to get help,
trying to paint self

that only needs love and understanding

deep inside yourself.

You know, it's more than that

and it won't ever change.

Along with that helplessness

dread of what's coming

when it grows up.

Get to strength
that's too big for you to handle.

Pleading with them,

pleading with them to put him away
somewhere where you won't hurt anybody

and always getting the same answers
is smart.

He's brilliant.

He's insane as you are.

All you need is love and understanding.

So what?

To move into his manhood.

You know, he's getting away with it.

So more and more women.

So in desperation, you almost drive him to
the church has a good voice.

It talked him into joining the choir.

I am as responsible as anyone for.

The death of those.

Girls,

you know.

And you know what I should have done, Mr.

McDermott, when that little boy was a
baby, you know what I should have done?

I should have taken my sister.

You know, it's true.

So don't tell me you understand.

You can go now, Mr.

McDermott.

I won't see Jessie any more.

I was going to pay for this.

Nobody.

You get your clothes, you're plundering.

I got your blessing to go.

Where do you suggest?

With a place for you. Here?

No place for you.
Anywhere in the civilized. You say.

I wonder sometimes.

Where I'd be if my family had been sent
to a general Hyde Park and

the world was going to come to an end.

You're only 18, Jessie.

You've got your whole life ahead of you,

Will be all kinds of bows around
since we get to California.

Time to come. You'll thank us.

Please don't lie.

To me, Mom.

Excuse me, sir.

Are you Fred McCullough?

I wasn't supposed to meet him here.

I was a member.

Are you at the Chris Hill wagon train?

Yes, sir.

What can I do for you?

Well, I wonder if you'll be good enough
to tell me where they're camped.

Oh, they won't be in for about an hour
or two.

You'll find them down by the river.
Other end of town.

Thank you.

You've got friends in the outfit? Friends?

No, not exactly.

Oh. How much longer?

To Sacramento?

Three days, maybe more.

I can't go.

On like this for 30 days.

You got no business coming here.

I didn't sleep a wink last night.

Me neither.

Well, well, this isn't silly girl talk.

This is something
I thought through from beginning to end.

I know that
I love you, Taffy. Please don't.

I promise you, you've.

Got no right to make you promise
that it's not his life.

It's mine.

If you ever stop to think maybe
he's right.

What do you. Mean?

Maybe if I had a girl like you,
I'd do the same thing he's doing.

Because you mean it.

When you said you love me.

How can you ask that?

Well, that's all that matters, isn't.

Just get on back to camp.

I'm sorry.

I won't do it.

I trust you.

Hear what I say?

Please let me talk to Mr. McDermott.

It'll be better if you just stay.

He's a grown. Woman.

She can make up her own mind.

Jess, just please let me talk.

I talk to

Sarah.

They wouldn't take it easy, Boy.

You better get rid of him right here.

I promise to take him to California.

I'll change your mind.

Then I'll call the committee together
and we'll change it for you.

Get on back to your wagon.

You too, Miss.

Please, Jesse.

Jesse, go on back to your mother.

Then you mind what I say?

Making it a little hard on me, aren't you?

I didn't intend to

take.

You ought to know by now.

You can't settle anything that way.

I'll never get anything settled anyway.

As long as I live. I can't wait to talk

first by.

I saw this coming
the first night you joined us.

I saw it coming.

I made my choice.
I'm going to back you up.

You can't fight the world, Mr.

Hale.

We're going to be going
through the country starting tomorrow.

Yes. We might get a scrap or two.

That's always possible.

Supposing we do get in a scrap?

Supposing I get k*lled?

Who's going to look after
my mother and sister?

I wouldn't worry about that.

Well, you would if you were responsible
for them like I am.

Would
you look after until we got to California?

Why would you. Yes, I would.

I want to get to Sacramento.

My mother's going to Cincinnati.

Should be welcome with at least
I think they should be welcome.

There should be one place.

Let it be welcome in this miserable world.

In a way, of course, I can't help it.

I can't take any more of it.

I'm not

well,

we have time.

Yes. What time is it?

It's like those. People.

What you doing out here?

I'm just getting ready for bed.

Go on, go asleep.

Don't
you fret none about what happened today

for you know
it will be in Sacramento tonight.

We didn't give the wagon master
the authority

to pick up just anybody
he felt like along the road,

which seems to me
we've got to draw the line somewhere.

And this is as good a place as any.

It's right.

All right,

let's draw the line right here.

We'll dump them on Tamarack
and go on without him.

According to the articles, the committee
can hand down that kind of a decision.

Right.

I'll nominate myself to go to the Santis

and give them the news that
all right with everybody.

Exactly what we want.

Good for decided then.

Well, Chris, I'm glad you see it my way.

I didn't say I saw it your way.

I'm just bowing
to the will of the committee.

Now, just a minute.

We've decided to dump them, but we haven't
decided the most important thing of all.

What's that?

What I'm going to tell them

if I'm going to report this decision,
I'll have to give them a reason for

leaving them here.

What have they done?

It's not what they've done. We just can't.

But the articles say the committee

has the right to sit in judgment
and authorize such punishment as it sees

fit in this case, dismissing the Santis
from his wagon train.

Now, what's the crime?

What are they done?

It's not what they've done. It's.

It's what they are.

I don't want to that.

It's exactly right, Chris.

They're just not the right kind of people,
that's all.

Oh, well,
who are the right kind of people?

You know doggone well what we mean.

Oh, no, I don't. I don't at all.

You start condemning a man for
you think he is instead of what he does.

You better tell me what he ought to be.

Well, he means.

A decent, upstanding citizen
like the rest of us here.

That's right.

All people like us.

Yeah. Yeah, right.

Who think like we do. That's right.

That's right.

Believe in what we do.

Yeah. Yeah, right. Yes.

Well, that makes it easier,

I guess.

You're a mormon, aren't you? Yes.

What about it, Seymour?
Here is a free thinker.

Now, you don't think alike at all.

When I disagree with both of you,

I guess that means we ought to split up
right here.

We're different.

Actually.

Carmody, you're an Irishman.

They're not. And I've. Only half.

Maybe we ought to put up a big sign
outside the camp here.

No Irish need apply.

You ran into a lot of that back
where you came from, didn't you?

That's why you're going west

now. All this.

And you're a Scotsman and a Presbyterian
and a Southerner.

All three about as opposite to me
as a man can get.

I expect I ought to bring you up
to the nearest cottonwood

tree dog.

You start condemning a man for what
you think he is instead of what he does.

You have to follow it
clear through to the end.

And it's a pretty miserable place
when you get there

in this country.

In these times,
we better not think about our differences.

We better concentrate
on what we have in common.

Why 285 human beings out here
in the middle of nowhere?

There's danger all around us,
and every man

needs the respect and love
and help from every other man.

And this company our I'll have to go down

now, gone back to your camps

and think on that for a while.

And you think about it too.

Chris I have to think of my daughter,

her affair with
that boy has nothing to do with all that.

That's the funny thing about it.
It never does.

What's that mean?

It means when it runs you out of Cedar
Creek, it's blind prejudice.

But when you turn on somebody else,
it's the righteous wrath of God Almighty.

That's what I mean.

That boy has been tortured
every day of his life.

You are too big a man
to stick your knife in him to.

Read Bread Wheels, run off somewhere
with a g*n.

He's going to k*ll himself.

Yes, he's going after him

again.

Whether one was Why?

I don't know who I am.

I agree with you, Will.

It is a lousy life from the day
you're born till the day you die.

It's a lousy life.

What do you say you have a name?

Was Santy Santa.

Claus. A musical sound?

Where's I heard it before?

Prominent family.

Oh, nationally famous.

Peter say. Hmm.

We're from Chicago.

The Chicago seventies.

My brother was Lon Santa,
the one that k*lled those two girls

with an ax.

And you're about the same size
as one of them.

They took an ax to both them
one night after choir practice,

and we got all our names
and pictures in the papers,

and they went to the scaffold,
laughing about it.

But you know something,

Jane?

He doesn't hold a candle to me.

I'm a much better man with an ax.

And he was much, much, much, much.

I do a nice, clean job.

This is my father's nickle plated p*stol.

He k*lled himself with it.

We're all famous in my family.

Jane were famous or great with an ax.

Were the best K*llers in the world
natural born.

It runs in the family.

And three.

I'll have the chestnuts shot up for you.

Buy some.

Thank you very.

Much for impressing my.

Well,

don't give me that.

No, please, Will.

I'm going to Kansas, the amigo.

My father. Give me that g*n. Well.

There's no hope for me, Cassidy.

They've got a curse on me.

Give it to me.

We've got a curse on me, Jesse.

I can't.

I can't try to fight it.
I can't run away from it.

I can't get away from it.

Oh, Will, to your answer,
I want to talk to you.

Well, bye.

But first, give me the g*n.

Now, what do you want?



That's all.

What?

You give me that.

Just five.

Minute.

I've come 2000 miles to talk to you.

Who are you?

I'm probably the only man in the world
who knows what you're

going through right now.

I've got something to give you.

Why don't you give me that?

Go on in your

will.

Please. Will you go on?

Leave me alone.

Through mother's womb.

About an hour ago.

City got loud and started
waving a p*stol around,

hollering something about his whole family
being K*llers, blacksmiths.

I go around the corner and the last thing
he saw was Duke talking to him.

Hammer Yeah. What about the g*n?

Well, he said he's still out in his
pocket as far as you know,

I don't think he'd use it.

I sure hope not.

Somebody give me a hand here.

You better get a bed ready for him.

Yeah, well, don't worry Now.

He's a pretty sick fellow.



I'd say
he'll like to spend the rest of his days

marching in temperance parades.

Jeff and I'm sorry.

I places with him upon.

Prospect. It is.

There was a man with him, followed him
all the way out to New York City,

had something to give him What he said
he had to give him back his faith.

Said a man can't live without faith.

I asked him who he was and he said
he was just knock out actor from New York,

but that he'd gone through the same
things will happen.

The terror and that and the doubts
and that, wondering

if life is really worth living.

I, I could see it like he did.

He said he discovered something

said it.

The devil's in this world.

Sharp, loud and long.

But in the end,
the angels always had brought him.

And he said,

he said, You three,
you have to be patient.

And in time they would die
and you'd be able to carry your name

proudly again.

And I had gone through this.

Yes, ma'am.

His brother k*lled President Lincoln.

His name was Edwin.
