00:00You got here fast.

00:21Where is he?

00:23It was a fair fight, Amos. You know it.

00:25This one too.

00:27Only I'm not an 18-year-old boy.

00:30Where is he?

00:33At the bar.

00:58Which one of you is William Essie?

01:01Do I know you, friend?

01:03My brother. Two years ago in Houston.

01:05You killed him.

01:08That might be...

01:10I don't remember.

01:12He was 18.

01:13In a card game. He called you a cheat.

01:1818.

01:21I... I thought he was older.

01:24Your belly shot him.

01:26It took him a long time to die.

01:30You've been hurting me two years now.

01:33It took him a long time to die.

01:38I'll make it easier for you, friend.

01:43What about you?

01:45I'll watch.

01:52I had no choice.

01:54You know that.

02:01All right.

02:04This is something to you.

02:08And don't be a fool.

02:25Two years, a thousand miles.

02:29Nothing on your mind but killing a man.

02:35Let's go home, T.

02:37It's been a long time.

02:39Not my home, Amos.

02:41Sometimes I wish it was.

02:43Or a place like it.

02:45I guess I got used to your company.

02:47There's a place there for you if you want it.

02:49Oh, I thank you, though.

02:51Oh, I thank you, though.

02:53I'll go as far as Kesserling with you.

02:55Good.

02:56The fellow I met said there's a letter for you there.

02:58From Ted?

02:59He said it looked like a woman's writing.

03:01Probably Lucy.

03:04Let's go get it, then.

03:09You remember that pretty blue dress in the Kesserling store?

03:12Uh-huh.

03:13You think she'd like it?

03:15Oh, I think so, Amos.

03:17But you better give it to her after the wedding.

03:19Otherwise her pa might take a shotgun to you.

03:24He might at that.

03:33Bacon, coffee, sugar, flour.

03:36I guess that's about it.

03:40I said I guess you got everything you need.

03:43A box of shells, 44.

03:46Here, sir.

03:53You want to tell me what it's about, Amos?

03:55Or just to mind my own business?

04:03I'll get some of the gear and saddle the horses.

04:15Amos?

04:19I'm sorry.

04:21For who?

04:23For me or for my little brother Ted?

04:35There's no hurry, Amos.

04:36We could wait.

04:38No.

04:39I wouldn't want to miss the wedding.

04:41You better wait how long now?

04:43Two years.

04:46Sometimes things happen, Amos.

04:49Things people don't want but can't help.

04:53Man and a woman fall in love, want to get married.

04:56It's their right.

04:58You be a man.

05:00If he's wearing a gun when I get home, I'll kill him.

05:03What about Lucy?

05:05You gonna kill her too?

05:10I give you my thanks.

05:12I'll go your way.

05:22I think I'll go south for a while.

05:52I'll be back.

06:21Thoughts of sweet yesterday or bitter tomorrow, Amos?

06:25You always was a school teacher.

06:28They've been pushed hard.

06:30A couple of days rest do them a lot of good.

06:32In a couple of days we'll be home.

06:34They can rest then.

06:37Let's get some sleep.

06:40It's an ugly hate, Amos.

06:45It's ugly.

06:49It's ugly.

06:52And you don't have to see it.

06:55Well, I didn't take this stinking trip to see it.

06:58To stop it, gunfighter?

07:00You try a man's patience, Amos.

07:04Why'd you let me come this far with you?

07:08I don't know.

07:11Maybe I thought you could get him to run.

07:13Where?

07:17He's your brother, Amos.

07:20I don't want you to forget it.

07:23Why not?

07:24He did.

07:55You better get a shovel.

07:59That was a woman.

08:02Her name was May Crowley.

08:0428 years old.

08:08If anyone ever tells me a Comanche is a human being like you and me...

08:13Speak of the devil.

08:17Comanches.

08:19Can you talk?

08:21Can you talk?

08:23Some.

08:35Apache arrow.

08:38Apaches are bad Indians.

08:42Comanches are good Indians.

08:44Everyone knows that.

08:46Is it not so?

08:48The whole world knows how noble the Comanches are.

08:52You got tobacco?

08:54No.

08:56My pleasure.

09:04Let me see your gun.

09:06The gun that spits six times?

09:08That's right.

09:10No.

09:13Nothing would please me more than to show my Comanche friend my gun.

09:17But I have taken an oath.

09:21If I take it from its holster, I will kill with it.

09:29You, let me see yours.

09:31You've got your tobacco, now don't you push us.

09:35We're friendly.

09:37You're pigs.

09:41Six wild pigs can kill a pair of wolves.

09:45And die in the doing.

09:52Six bullets.

09:55Two guns.

09:58Enough to kill us twice.

10:03Another time.

10:06Another place.

10:09How shall I kill you?

10:13I shall dwell on it.

10:29I feel like I've been close to dying.

10:33So did they.

10:44You want to say something over them?

10:51The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh.

10:55Such is the way of the Lord.

11:00I wish we'd made a fight of it.

11:05He was right about the wild pigs, Amos.

11:09Like he said, another time, another place.

11:15Which way you want to go?

11:17Across the river, over by the Frazers and Kimberleys?

11:21I'd rather go together, old buddy.

11:25Which way?

11:29The river.

11:31Well, you tell them what you saw.

11:33Take care of yourself.

11:35I'll see you in about three days.

11:38Amos.

11:42If you get to your home place before I do,

11:45remember, he's your brother.

11:47I'm going to tell you something.

11:50My father was a Bible-reading man.

11:52But he never forgave nothing.

11:56I look like my father, Tate.

11:59When I was born, they said as long as I live, he'd live.

12:04When I was born, they said as long as I live, he'd live.

12:08I am like him.

12:10I never took nothing that wasn't mine.

12:13And I never let no man take what was.

12:17That man of Montana,

12:19he took my brother's life away.

12:22Away from me.

12:24So I took his away from him.

12:28You tell Taddy not to stay for the wedding.

12:33I won't.

13:03You're always getting somewhere before me.

13:29You got a good horse.

13:31You look worn, Amos.

13:33I'm tuckered.

13:35How was it?

13:36Real party.

13:38Must be 150 Comanches raiding between the Pliant and the Vandika.

13:42They got the phrases before I did.

13:44They took off one of the Kimberly women.

13:48And more.

13:49Kimberly?

13:51I think I knew them. They had a nine or ten year old girl.

13:54She's 14 now.

13:56That makes her a woman.

13:59You?

14:00There's just one band across the river.

14:03Maybe five, six.

14:06They attacked the Dougherty place, but they got stood off.

14:09Dougherty's a neighbor.

14:11Forty miles.

14:13Maybe they'll come visit us.

14:22That's right, Amos.

14:23He's still here.

14:26Did you think he wouldn't be?

14:29No, I guess not.

14:31He always did like that paint.

14:34Ever since you gave it to him.

14:37My own home.

14:41I'm dead tired and I stay up here sitting in the saddle.

14:46Maybe it's not home anymore.

14:50Let's go hunt some Comanches, Amos.

14:53That's a thing we're both good at.

14:56Did you tell him?

14:59Yes.

15:02He's my brother at that.

15:07Amos.

15:10I'm married.

15:13You ever know me to stop anything I started?

15:16Or be stopped?

15:18This time.

15:27You choosing sides?

15:30I guess so.

15:31If I have to.

15:33You tell him I'll give him another hour here.

15:36If he's still around after that, I'll kill him.

15:56Hello, Amos.

16:10Tell me, Lucy.

16:12What kind of man is your little tad?

16:14As good a man as his brother?

16:15Amos, don't.

16:17Go on, tell me, Lucy.

16:18You know them both.

16:19You're an expert on the Dundee brothers.

16:22Go on and tell me.

16:24I'll wait outside.

16:25You're old enough to hear.

16:28You leave her alone with me, she might try to touch me.

16:31Make me sick to my stomach.

16:34You're a pig, Amos.

16:36I don't like you anymore.

16:40Amos, we fell in love.

16:43Maybe it was because he was your brother.

16:46So much like you.

16:49Give a lady a smile, Amos.

16:51Tell her to be happy.

16:53You brought her, get her out of here.

16:55You can listen.

16:58I looked at him and I saw you.

17:02You want me to get down on my knees, I will.

17:07Please, don't kill him, Amos.

17:12Father, brother.

17:15What was I to him?

17:17Mother to?

17:19Seems like I loved him always.

17:24How long have you been married?

17:26Three weeks.

17:28That little?

17:32It's been over an hour, Lucy.

17:34Send your husband out here.

17:36He can't look you in the eye, much less bite you.

17:40Get her off her knees and get her out of here, gunfighter.

17:44You use that like it was a dirty word.

17:47You're so high and holy, gunfighter.

17:49It means killer, don't it?

17:51That's right.

17:53Don't you forget it.

18:08I didn't ask to come into your life.

18:10You invited me.

18:12I've known Taddy since he wore knee pants too.

18:17Lucy since it was pigtails.

18:20What am I supposed to do?

18:22Let you kill him?

18:25No good?

18:43He's got this temper.

18:45You go inside with Lucy.

18:48No, I guess not.

18:54Amos?

18:56I'm out here.

19:01You hear me, Amos?

19:04I hear you, trash.

19:20Go get a gun.

19:23Don't make me do this to you.

19:27Lucy, you best go inside.

19:30Lucy.

19:31No.

19:32Go inside.

19:41Is it your fight?

19:43I don't know.

19:45Just tell me when.

19:51Pick it up.

19:54You'd best go ahead and kill me, Amos.

19:57I won't fight you.

20:00We'll see.

20:06You'll fight?

20:07You'll pick up that gun, trash, and you'll try to kill me?

20:37You'd best go ahead and kill me.

20:41I won't fight you.

20:44I don't know how to forget.

20:47And I can't forgive.

20:50It's a terrible thing.

20:55All right, Amos.

21:00If you want it a fight, you've got it.

21:11All right, old buddy.

21:13I'm gonna kill somebody.

21:15I'd rather it be you than him.

21:18You're right, Arm Amos.

21:21It'll be a long time before you use it to beat a man like that again.

21:25You're not that good.

22:09I'll take that arrow out of you...

22:28...and fetch her back.

22:59Glad to see you back.

23:06Where is he?

23:10Up on the hill.

23:28They took his life away from me.

23:57I took theirs away from them.

24:27I took theirs away from them.

24:55THE END
