02x04 - Caesar's Wife

[bunniefuu]

-[hooting]
-[shouting]

[sooting, shouting
continue]

MAN:
Stay with it, boy!

[laughs]
Stay with it, boy!

Whoa, h*!

Oh! He's gonna be a good one.
Clean him up proper.

Will, darlin',
aren't you overdoing?

I'm gonna ride him.
I like to break 'em myself.

Can't hardly tell
which one of you
worked the harder.

-Look at you!
-No question. Me.

[laughs]

-[huffs]
-[chuckling]

That horse'll be nuzzling
sugar from your pocket in
just one more day, son.

There ain't a thing
on this place
that boy can't do--

-Not one single thing.
-I know.

Back in New Orleans,

-did you ever figure
to have a son like this?
-I never did.

-Still hard to believe.
-[chuckles]

Two years, she
still can't tell
what hit her.

I can tell you,
Miss Marvin.

It was a preacher--

And him asking you,
"Do you take this man
to be your"--

-You ever feel sorry?
-Oh, darlin',
don't you be silly.

Henry!

Oh.

Thought you might like to
look at these survey plans
of the railroad spur.

Make sure they don't lay
that track through
your living room.

[laughs]
I sure would.

Young lady, you look prettier
every time I see you.

Well, then I'll
have to ride over
more often.

This time I came by
to get some money
from you.

Fifty cents for
the church supper at
our place Saturday night.

-Fifty cents?
-Mm-hmm.

Why, that's
half a day's pay.

If I know you,
you'll eat
more than that.

We're never going to get
to study those plans
standing around out here.

Put your shirt on, son,
and come on in.

-Seein' how half this thing
is gonna be yours.
-All right, Pa.

-Audra, would you like
a cool drink?
-Mmm. Sounds wonderful.

-That's for me.
-Therese?

Darlin', I have to get
my roses into water.

Oh, Will, be sure
to come early
Saturday night.

-You bet.
-We'll need some help
with the tables.

You like her, don't you?

-Who? Audra?
-Mm-hmm.

I never thought about it.

She has.

[laughs]
Don't mean a thing.
We "growed" up together.

Oh, wait a minute.
I forgot the engineering notes.
Here.

Will?

Don't get involved
with her.

Not for your sake,
darling.

For hers.

Audra? Did I hear you say
you were going
to the De Kovens'?

-Yes. Why?
-Would you stop
at the Marvin place for me?

Henry likes to check
his olives against ours.

I meant to send them with you
when you went over
with Jarrod.

What's the matter?

-Did you and Will
have a fight?
-Oh, no, it--

It's just that I feel
so awkward whenever
I go over there.

I keep remembering
Mrs. Marvin.

I mean,
the real Mrs. Marvin.

Oh, Audra.
Therese is the real
Mrs. Marvin.

I know, but--

Well, he didn't have
to marry again so soon.
It was only a year.

He was lonely.
People do lots of things
when they're lonely.

Never mind.
I'll send them over
with Ciego.

Oh, that's all right.
I-- I'm going right by.

I don't mind.
Not really.

Mr. Seeger,
are my spurs ready?

Tomorrow, maybe--

If you ask me nice.

Well, you said you'd
have them two days ago.

Well, now, looking at a pretty
face like yours, a man don't
hardly know what he's saying.

I'll expect you
to have them tomorrow.
Early.

Yeah, walkin'-- and it's
the last time too.

Come on.

I hear tell that whiskey
and fire don't mix.

You know the rules, Seeger.
No drinkin' on the job.

Awful hot in here.
I didn't hurt nothin'.

Except me.
My horse threw
a shoe again.

It can happen.
No tellin' when
a horse is apt to--

Second time in 10 days.
Up by the river.

I had to walk him
all the way back in.

Now suppose you walk
on over to the office
and pick up your time,

and get out of here--
the sooner the better.

Barkleys.

Always high and mighty.

Need any help?

[laughs]
Sure. You bring somebody?

Nope. Just brought
something over for your father.

Audra?

Well, darling,
what a nice surprise.

Almost as pleasant
as it is unexpected.

-Hello, Mrs. Marvin.
-Hello.

-Mother sent those olives
over for your husband.
-Well, thank you.

You mean you rode
all the way over here
just for these?

-I could have
picked 'em up tonight.
-Tonight?

Church supper.
Well, I told you.
Over at the Barkleys'.

Oh, darlin',
I'm so terribly sorry.

Sorry? Sorry for what?

Well, the Weydons are comin'
over for dinner tonight.

They're sure
not coming to see me.

They come as much
to see you as any of us.

Really, darling, the way
she fusses over you--

Worth gettin' away
just for that.
What time?

Well, it--
It really isn't polite.

Half-past 7:00 okay?

That'll be fine.

-Uh, hey. Who you got me
sittin' with?
-Me.

You want your money back?

-Can I get it?
-Nope.

Well, then I guess
I'll just have to suffer.

[chiming]

THERESE:
Will?

-Kind of late.
-I couldn't sleep.

Why?

Weydons bother you too?

Silly.

Uh, how was the supper?

Good. Real good.

-Night.
-Will--

Uh, about this afternoon.
I guess that's why
I really waited up.

I just had to make sure
that you understood.

-Forget it.
-I can't.

-I wouldn't want you
to think that I--
-I don't.

I knew there'd be other
Saturday nights

and other suppers
and other girls.

I just couldn't stand
to see you hurt your daddy.

-Hurt Pa?
-Darling, you know
how proud of you he is.

How he loves to show you off
to all of his friends.

It just isn't right
to disappoint him--

To hurt him.

It isn't right to--

to hurt anyone
who loves you like that.

But, uh,

I never did mean
to offend you.

So, uh, kiss and make up?

Well, there's no need
to argue about it now.

There's, uh,
plenty of time
to talk things over.

Will? Uh--

Your, uh, daddy's got
to sign some papers.

He's, uh-- He's going
over to the Barkleys'
Monday morning.

Monday morning I'll be in town.

[door opens, closes]

-Any more left in there?
-No, that's it.

What do you say
you and me go get
a beer, huh?

I'll be right with you.
I gotta stop
at the saddle shop.

All right.

-What'll it be, Nick?
-An ice-cold beer,
please, Frank.

Hey.

Don't you think
you better take it
a little easy?

Nick. Nick Barkley.

Hey, now, now, now, now.
Come on.
Now you listen to me.

Your father happens to be
a very dear friend of ours,

and I don't think he'd
like it too much if he knew
I just stood around while--

Can't stand
nobody's pleasure, can you?

-Come on, Will. Let's go.
-I think maybe the poor boy
don't wanna go home.

It don't matter much
what you think.

Matters to me--
When I see a fella
needin' a drink--

-You're in the way, Seeger.
-That so?

Well, why don't you
just move me out?

[laughs]

[grunts, groans]

[exhales]

-And no reflection
on your beer, Frank.
-I understand, Nick.

All right, Will,
let's go home.

Well--

Thank you.

All right, let's go home.

Wasn't thirsty anyway.

Hyah.

How would you say
he's gonna feel
in the mornin', Heath?

-Pretty bad.
-[chuckles]

-Come on, Will.
-What happened?

-Come on, let's go, Will.
-Got kicked by a mule.

-With help?
-No, no. On his own.

-Well, he never had
a drink in his life.
-He's a fast learner.

Not wine nor
whiskey nor anything.
That's the way I raised him.

I don't think it
funny for you fellas to
weigh him down and dump him,

-and try to laugh it off.
-Now, wait a minute.

Are you trying to tell us
that we brought him back here
after we got him drunk?

If you're looking for someone
to tar, seems to me you're
lookin' in the wrong direction.

You raise a colt,
you teach him
to carry a saddle.

You raise a man,
you teach him
to carry a drink.

Come on.

Hyah.

Henry-- Here.
I'll take care of him.

Come on.
You come with me, boy.

All you need is a good rest.

I'll get you up to your room
and take real good
care of you.

In no time at all
you'll be feeling fine.
Come on upstairs. Whoop!

I'll get you.
Just relax.

It's all right.
There you are.

I know it sounds horrible--
whiskey to cure whiskey--

but it really does help.

It's called "hair of the dog."

Mmm.

[sighs]
You're very difficult.

But then you always
have been.

You never did know
what was good for you.

You should have stayed home
with me today.

We could have talked.

-You wouldn't have gotten
into any trouble.
-I'm all right now.

Not yet.
Now, you're not ready
to face the world yet.

You rest, nice and easy.

Therese will tell you
when all the whiskey's gone.

Suppose it had
to happen sometime.

But you didn't have to go
and get yourself sick
over it.

First drink's like
anything else--

First look at the ocean.

First ride in a train.

First love.

First heartbreak.

First stolen kiss.

You'd do that to him?
In his own house?

You're dirt.

I'm young.

Oh, Will, I've tried.

You don't know
how hard I've tried.

But I'm just not cut out
for an old man's darlin'.

And don't you try
to make me say I'm sorry,
'cause I'm not.

I'm not sorry nor ashamed
nor frightened neither,

because I know
that this is real.

It's clean, and it's good.

You're trash.
You're filth.

Don't say that to me.

Please don't say that to me.

You'd do that to him?

You're the scum of the earth.

My own father!

-He's not your father.
-What'd you say?

I said he's not your father.

That's right.

He took you out of an orphanage,
and they were glad
to get rid of you.

He agreed to keep you
till you were 24

and he had himself
a free work hand-- a sl*ve--

and that's all
he ever wanted anyway.

-You're lying.
-I found the key to the safe.
It's in his will.

That's why he never
lets you have a drink.

It's in his contract
with the orphanage.

Oh, Will.

Oh, darling, it doesn't
have to be like this.

I love you, Will.

I've known it for months.

Oh, please, Will.

-Please love me too, Will.
-Get out.

-Please, Will.
-Get out!

[gasps]

Will? You ready, son?

We're sittin' down
to supper.

[chuckles]
It's his first time.

He hasn't learned
you gotta make
yourself eat.

Darlin', I'll come with you.

It's mighty sweet of you,
nursing him all afternoon.

I don't know what
I'd do without you.

Will? Your daddy's here.

He wants you down
to supper, sugar.

Boy, you'll feel better
with some food
in your stomach.

You gotta try.

Will?

Oh, he's just ashamed,
darlin'.

He can't face you yet.

He's so very young.

Now, don't you let it
spoil your dinner.

Please don't worry
about him.

He'll be back.
Come on, darlin'.

Come on.

♪ [whistling]

[knocking]

-Will.
-Evenin', Jarrod.

Well, come on in.
I think Audra's
in the living room.

Well, what do you know?
He can even walk.

Will, how nice to see you.

How are you,
Miss Barkley?

What happened?
Your pa kick you out
for one little drunk?

Oh, Nick. We were just
going in to supper.
Won't you join us?

-Didn't come for supper, ma'am.
-Oh? Something else?

-A job.
-A job?

What's the matter, Will?
Doesn't your father have
enough work for you?

Oh, there's work
to do, I guess.

Comes a time when a man's
got to break away.

Start makin' out
for himself.

I thought,
you being friends, I--

I see.
Well, Nick does the hiring.

Just so happens
I'm short one man.
You any good in a forge?

-Job needs doing, I can do it.
-Thirty dollars a month
and keep.

Tell Mac I said
put you on, all right?

Thanks.

I wonder what happened.

I wonder.

Everything look
all right to you, Will?

I'll make out.

You know, I don't
like to pry, but--

Well, I've
known your father
a good many years.

As a matter of fact,
he was one of my
first clients.

I wouldn't like
to see him hurt.

Maybe you ought
to think this over
a little more.

I've thought it over.

Well, you know, sometimes
things seem a lot worse
than they really are.

If you've had some
little difference
of opinion--

No. Nothin' like that.
We get along fine.

Then it seems to me
he'd be hurt all the more.

You know, Will,
your father's had a lot
of hurt in his life already.

All those years
your mother was sick.

I really think
the only thing that
got him through it was you.

I don't think you have
any real notion of how much
you mean to your father.

You can stop playin' games.
He's not my father.

-Who told you that?
-It don't matter who or how.

I found out, is all.
Picked me out
of an orphanage.

Could have been me
or any other.
One, two, three.

"There's one looks
healthy and strong."

Signed papers
and put a ring
through my nose.

If I tried to run,
he could have
hauled me right back.

Will, I don't think
you run away from someone

who means as much to you
as he does.

-Is there some other reason?
-No. None.

I told you.
There's no other reason.

Just-- He let me think
I was his own, is all.

Jarrod, believe me.

Let it drop. Please?

I wish I could.

Good night, Will.

Oh, Jarrod. So early?

I apologize for the hour,
but I'd like to see Henry.

-It's rather important.
-Of course.

-Uh, won't you come in?
-Thank you.

No business
this morning, Jarrod.
I've been up half the night.

Will's gone.
He's disappeared--

without even a trace.

I know, Henry.
He's over at our place.

He rode over last night
and asked for a job.

Why?

For no reason?
Without even a word?

Well, he was pretty worked up.

He, uh-- He knows
the truth about himself--
About the orphanage.

He couldn't.

He couldn't,
unless you let it out.

I think you know
better than that.

You're the only other one
that knows.

It's written in my will.
You have it in your safe
right now.

-You have a copy too.
-Under lock and key--

Like it's always been.

He didn't get it from me.

-Who told him, Jarrod?
-I wish I knew.

Henry, you mean
Will isn't your son?

Oh, darling,
why didn't you
ever tell him?

We meant to.

We always meant to,
it's just that the right time
never seemed to come.

Maybe it's because
we didn't want it to come.

Maybe it's because
we loved him too much--

Thought that if we told him--

He'd understand that we
weren't just holding him.

There must have
been something else
that made him run.

I'm afraid you'll
have to ask him.

I'll ride over
and bring him back.

Henry, wouldn't it be better
if Will came back
on his own?

Oh, just you wait and see.
He'll come runnin' back.

First little spat he has
with Audra.

Now, if you don't mind,

I want to make sure
that Henry gets
some rest.

He's just been so upset,
poor darling.

I'll stop by tomorrow, Henry.

Good-bye.

I know what's really
botherin' Will.

-It's that girl.
-Audra?

She wants Will,
and she won't stop
at anything.

But you're a man,
darling,

and I wouldn't expect you
to understand.

Go on.

Ah! Oh, that's good.

-Real good.
-Course, it's only lemonade.

Listen, this is my drink
from now on.

-Thank your mother, will you?
-For what?
She's in town with Heath.

Well, then, thank you.

Whoa.

-Almost got away from me.
-You told Nick
you could handle a forge.

-A forge, not a fire.
-SEEGGER: Takes a man
to do both.

Left some tools-- My own.

They got my mark.

[dog barking]

[barking continues]

Will.

[hoofbeats]

You just forget it,
you hear?

I'm not coming home,
and there's no use
trying to talk to me.

Darlin', I was hoping
to talk to you-- alone.

Of course.

Was my mama,
I wouldn't argue with her.

We'll be alone here.
My family's away.

Oh, my.
This is a wonderful room.

Every time I come here--

You know, my daddy used to keep
his g*ns just like this.

Many's the time
I watched him oil and polish.

-You wanted to talk to me?
-Yes.

Send him home, Audra.

You can't hope
to hold him.

I'm not trying to.
I didn't even know
he was coming.

Well, of course you have
to say that, darlin'.
I understand completely.

Well, there's nothing to--
Sometimes you can't do
what you want.

Sometimes you gotta stop
and think of others.

Do you know
what you're doing
to his daddy?

I'm not doing anything
to Mr. Marvin or Will
or anyone else.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
please.

Playin' princess with me--
I know exactly what
you're up to, sugar.

Little Miss soap-and-starch
country girl.

Don't know "A" from "B"
or "which" from "what."

Gonna be pure
shocked to death
when I tell her.

You're not the only one
he's looked at.

That's right,
little country girl.

Things like that happen.

Everywhere I go,
everywhere I turn--

He's been after me-- me--
for months.

-I don't believe that.
-You're second choice,
darlin'--

-Strictly hand-me-down.
-I think Will ought
to hear this.

Audra!

[grunts]

AUDRA:
Will!

Will!

Will!

-[g*nsh*t]
-[gasps, groans]

Audra, what's the matter?

Why would she pick up a g*n?

-I don't know.
-Well, there must be
some reason.

Audra.

Will, she--
She was saying
such wild things, I--

I said I was gonna get you,
and she grabbed the g*n
and--

What kind of "wild things"?

Well, she said you were
always after her.

It was the other way around.

[horse nickers]

It'll k*ll Pa
when he finds out
the truth about her.

You should have seen him
when he brought her home.

It was like she started
a whole new life for him.

He never had much of one
before that--

Not with Ma,
and her being sick
all those years.

I can say it was an accident
and not tell 'em the rest.

No, the sheriff
will be asking questions.

But Jarrod'll know what to do.

Listen, I don't want you
to have to lie.

It's not really a lie.
It was an accident.

[footsteps]

Oh, Will, I thought you--

Mother--

-She--
-I did it, ma'am.

It was an accident.

Might be easier
if I tell him.

HENRY:
Will!

I thought
I heard somebody.
Oh, boy.

Oh, boy, did you
give me a hard time.

But it don't matter
now that you're back.
It don't matter one bit.

It just goes to show you
what pure foolishness
a man can do.

I should have told you
about the orphanage,
and...

I should have told him
how to hold a drink,

and not worried about
them takin' him away.

-Pa--
-I got plans for you, Will.
I got big plans. Yes, sir.

-Startin' today, Will,
I want you--
-Pa, would you stop?

-Will you-- Will you listen?
-Is something wrong?

Pa--

Pa, don't. Please.
You'll hurt yourself more.

What happened?

I asked you
what happened.

It was an accident, Henry.
Over at our place.

Your place?

She came to get me, Pa--
to bring me home.

We was in the g*n room
with Audra and--

Audra? Audra k*lled her?

No, Pa.

It-- It was me.

But it was an accident, Pa.

She-- She picked up the g*n,
admired it, like.

A-And Audra told her
to put it away because--

Well, it might go off.

Pa, then I reached
for the g*n and--

Pa, it's the truth.

Truth is, it was
the girl's fault.

-That's pretty wild talk.
-If she didn't tease him
to come over there,

Therese wouldn't have had
to follow after him,

and she wouldn't be
lyin' dead in the wagon.

No. No, Pa.

Underneath that pretty face
and that sweetness--

-You're wrong.
-Pa, if you'd just stop
and listen--

I gotta
make arrangements.

Whoo. What is it, Jarrod?

I don't know yet.
Steve just said
he wanted to see us.

[door opens]

Steve.

Sorry to have you ladies
drive all the way in,

but, uh, I'm afraid
it was necessary.

-Miss Barkley.
-Mr. Seeger, how nice
to see you sober.

I was sober on the day
of the shootin' too,

so I can recall it
real plain.

Now, Bert, you weren't there.
Nick ran you off last week.

Without even time
to pick up my tools.
That's why I went back.

All right.
Now you tell them
what you told me.

Sure. Like I just said,

I'm gettin' my tools,
and Mrs. Marvin rides up
and says to the girl,

"I wanna talk to you inside."

-So the two of them
go in the house together.
-Just the two of them?

There was just
two of them in there
when the g*n went off.

-That's not true.
-Will Marvin says
he was in there also.

Now, why would he lie?

He's stuck on the girl.
He'd wanna help her out,
wouldn't he?

Maybe save that pretty neck
from a stretchin'.

Mr. Seeger, I've lived here
a good many years.

I've seen men lie
for a drink or a dollar,

but to lie out of mean,
personal spite,

to try and destroy
a young girl's life--

I warn you, Mr. Seeger--

When we get through with you,

there will be no place
in this entire valley
that you can hide.

No place.

Just tellin'
what happened, is all.

I been figuring
on movin' down
Fresno way,

but if you need me
for the hearing,
I'll stay.

Ma'am.

Audra, he is lying,
isn't he?

That don't mean I can
keep his mouth shut.

He'll talk his head off
at the inquest.

-Inquest? I didn't think
you needed an inquest.
-I've got to call one now.

Friday afternoon, 3:00-- here.

Now, remember, honey,
you won't just be talking to us.

You'll be talking
to a coroner's jury,

most of them friends of Henry's,
probably just come
from the funeral.

They'll be feeling sorry
for him.

I know.

That's why you have to be
absolutely sure of what
you're going to say.

-I'm sure.
-Is there anything
you've forgotten?

Anything at all?

Nothing.

It was an accident.

-You'll swear to it?
-Yes.

Now, you say
she picked up the g*n

-and Will grabbed for it?
-Yes.

-So Seeger is lying?
-Yes.

Audra, I'm only trying
to help.

Now, come on.
There's nothing
to be frightened about.

You know, the word "accident"
can mean a lot
of different things.

If Will grabbed for the g*n
because he was worried--
That is how it happened?

-You keep asking me.
-I'm sorry, but if it did happen
some other way--

-I told you.
-He could have grabbed for
that g*n for a lot of reasons.

-If Therese were angry
or upset--
-She wasn't.

-You're sure?
-Yes, he wasn't even in the--

He wasn't even in the room.

You were the only one
there with her.

Yes.

-It was you who grabbed
for the g*n?
-She picked it up.

-I was so frightened.
-Why?

-Why?
-She was so angry, so wild.

-I--
-Why?

-Why, Audra?
-I can't tell you.

Audra, Jarrod can't defend you
unless you tell him
the whole truth.

Honey, I can't build a wall
without any bricks.

-Oh, Jarrod, I don't want
to hurt anybody.
-Who?

Audra, if I have to ask you
all night and all day,

I want to know who it is
you're protecting.

Now listen to me.
I've got a pretty
good idea already,

but I need to hear you say it.

Jarrod, I can't tell you.

You'll have to ask Will.

There he is.

If I was you,
I'd take it slow
and easy on him, Nick.

-Heard tell you can catch
more flies with sugar than--
-Than with vinegar.

Yeah, I know, but I don't
happen to be hunting flies.
Come on, get!

-I was just coming over
to see you.
-Why? What's the matter?

Just thought you'd like
to know that Audra's
got us worried.

-She seems pretty upset since
she heard about that inquest.
-Inquest?

Seeger told the sheriff
you weren't even in the room
when it happened.

You know Seeger.
He's lyin'.

Is he? Audra finally broke down.
She said the same things.

Now, Will, what
is all this about?

-She said you could tell us.
-There must be some mistake.

Oh, no, no. No, no.
No mistake.

She's holdin' something back.

There's no question
she's scared, and so are you.

Now, are you gonna
tell me why, Will?

Now, if you're
tellin' the truth--

Let go of my horse.

I'm afraid this
isn't gonna wait.

Look!

All right now, boy,
are you gonna start talkin'?

Nick! That's enough.

Oh, no. I've just started.
Now, boy, you better
start talking while you can.

-Let go!
-When you cool off.

Nick!

Well, just pure
boyish spirits, I suppose.

Trying to dig the truth
out of him, is all.

Will, wait a minute.

Well, brother Nick,
with your usual flair

you've locked the cage
before we caught the bird.

-Well, someone had
to open him up.
-What are you doin' here?

I was hopin' to talk to Will.

Will? Where you been?

I, uh-- I had
some things to do, Pa.

Kind of got behind.

Well, I guess I just can't
get used to the quiet
around here.

I thought
you'd be home for--

What happened?

Nothin', Pa. It was nothin'.

You don't get cut up
like that for nothin'.
Who done it to you?

Will you take
my word for it, Pa?
It-- It doesn't matter.

Well, it matters to me.
Now, who done it?

You have a run-in
with somebody?

I asked you a question, son.
I'd like an answer.
Now who was he?

-Nick Barkley.
-Why?

We had an argument,
was all.

-Just an argument.
-Over what?

-Look, Pa, it--
-The girl?

Why?

You know something
they don't want you
to say.

Like maybe you never did
go into that house
after all.

Maybe it was
just Audra and Therese.

-Maybe it wasn't an accident.
-No, no, you're wrong, Pa.

It's just like Seeger says.

All you see is the girl.
I don't count for nothin'
with you.

You're wrong, Pa.
Don't talk like that.

All right, I'll give you
one more chance.

Say what you know.

Tell me what
it is Audra don't
want you to say.

All right.
I left some supper for you.
Go in and get it.

[door slams]

Open up!
Come on, open up.

Open up, or do I
have to bust it open?

Henry.

You. You're the one
I want.

Yeah, that's
a pretty face all right.

No wonder the boy
can see nothin' else.

No wonder he couldn't see
the blood on your hands.

Yeah, he good
as told me.

You k*lled her, didn't you?

You picked up that g*n
and you shot her down

-when she tried
to get him back.
-Just a minute, Henry.

-Come on now, admit it.
-Henry!

I think you better go.

You'll pay for this.
You'll all pay for it--

For what you done to Therese,
what you done to me.

-Pa! I heard you ride out.
-It's just as well you're here.

You can tell her
for yourself.

Tell her you can't
protect her no more.

Don't you look
at him like that.
He's gonna tell the truth.

-He can't cover it up no more.
-I'm afraid no one can
cover it up any longer.

They couldn't tell you
about Therese

because the truth is,
she came here
for Will.

-She came because
I wanted him back.
-Because she wanted him back.

-You say just what you mean.
-I think you know
what I mean, Henry.

I always thought
you were a decent man.

I'd heard rumors
about her before,

but I guess I never wanted
to believe them.

Then, after the sh**ting,
I had to find out
for sure.

I checked up on her
in New Orleans.

You went pryin'
behind my back?

I asked questions.
I got answers.

She was 17 when she took
her first husband.

Two years later,
he was k*lled in a duel
involving her honor.

Four months later, Henry,
she married the man
that k*lled him.

They're lies, all lies.

Less than a year after that,
he brought suit
for divorce.

The charge was adultery.

First her life,

and now her good name.

Don't, Pa. It's true.
He's right.

Stop it.
He's telling the truth.
She was no good.

That's why Will had to run--
To get away from her.

She thought that I
was keeping him here
and said all sorts of things.

When I told her I was going
to go talk to Will, she--

She grabbed a g*n and--

He couldn't tell you.

He couldn't hurt you.

He loves you that much.

Pa?

Got a long way home.

[door shuts]

HENRY:
Now, you see, if you change
the line a little

-and put the railroad spur
through here--
-JARROD: Yeah?

It'll be better
for both of us.

That's pretty fine
orchard land.

Put in a crop of peaches,
apricots, plums,

and that'll cut
the loadin' costs down--
Way down.

That's a good idea
you've got.

He got it.
[chuckles]

-I learned him pretty fair, huh?
-Pretty fair.

Mother's setting
the table for lunch.
We were hoping you'd stay.

Well? Yes or no?

Be a pleasure, Audra.
I'll join you in a minute.

It's good to see you
smile again, Henry.

Well, I'll tell you, Jarrod.

Deep down, I guess
I always knew about Therese.

But I put blinders on--

Made a deal with myself.

After all those empty years,

I tried to buy
what time I had left.

You had two good years.

She was so young and pretty.

Always laughin'.

Can't be sorry for that.

Let's have lunch.
