Hatfields & McCoys

Everybody get a move on!

We're loading on the run!

Head for the tree line!

Fall back!

We'll make our stand on the ridge.

Cover your backs!

Come on, let's go!

Don't stop!

Here they come!

Come on! Come on, let's go!

Come on.

I'll cut them damn buttons off, randall.

Makes you a target.

At least I can stay warm at night.

How are you still keeping your britches up?

Nature provides.

Over here!

Take cover and reload!

You're gonna lose that arm.

I'll give the arm.

Just want to live.

Here they come!

Don't shoot!

Hold fire.

Hold fire.

Yankee cavalry coming.

Company strength.

Yankee cavalry coming.

Company strength.

This could be it, anse.

Best make your peace.

Yeah, well, I never courted god before, randall.

I doubt he'll hear me now.

On the left!

On the left!

Can't hold this.

Get the boys back to the line.

Tell them to leave the pistols with me.

Soldier, on your feet now! Move!

We're moving out!

Them that's got sidearms,

put them in this sack here.

Come on, let's move!

Go on.

I'm a faster runner than you are.

Hey, anse.

I'll pray for you.

We're moving out!

Make it stop.

Make the hurt stop.

Oh, oh, hey.

Make it go away.

That's it.

Yeah, that's good.

I'll take some of them biscuits and beans.

Got your sidearms back for you.

Well, I'll be.

How many yanks you kill, devil anse?

How'd you get away, captain?

Damn miracle.

Anse.

What do you think you're doing?

Well, I ain't stayin' to watch the boys we just saved

die for a lost cause.

Lost?

You don't believe that.

I do.

Come on, what do you think would happen

if every soldier decided for himself

when the war was lost?

Be shorter wars for sure.

Don't make a cause no better, randall,

when good men die for it in vain.

From here on out, I fight only from home.

We're your home.

You can't just twist things to suit yourself.

This is desertion.

I don't look at it that way.

I figure I deserted my family when I signed up.

You'd be wise to come with me.

You took an oath, anse.

We swore 'death before dishonor.'

Nothing changes that.

What if I'm on that firing squad that has to put you down?

Well, if it comes to that, don't flinch.

This is wrong. I can't let you do this.

You take care of yourself, randall.

Many thanks for today.

God hates deserters.

You ought to buy your dog a drink, uncle jim.

And a little of this.

And a little of that.

Smell good too, don't you?

Damn dog.

You get that coat off a dead yankee?

No, I did not.

You find it in an outhouse somewheres?

No, I did not.

Where'd you get it then?

I wore it throughout the rebellion.

My nephew,

'devil' anse Hatfield,

proudly serves these here confederate states of america,

as does your brother randall.

Yet you dare come in here

and wear that goddamned bluebottle jacket,

you son of a bitch?

Near as many around these parts

are fighting and dying for the union.

As for me, war is passed,

but I ain't got another jacket.

Howsomever, being as how I'm getting a little hot in here,

I will take it off.

Put it on my charge.

You're gonna throw that damn yankee jacket on the floor,

and you're gonna piss on it.

I'm going on home.

Don't much care for the perfumed stank in here.

Can't even pay for your drink.

What kind of a damn man are you?

The kind who, you wanna come after,

you'll find ready, Jim Vance.

Unlike your kinfolk here,

i'm not afeard of no man

on account of he uses his dog for a whore.

Leave it now, uncle jim.

Do you bluebellies know the penalty for thievery?

Please, sir.

We were just really hungry.

That's all.

Please. Please, sir.

We were just-

I don't want to hear it. You just keep walking.

I got a good plan for you boys.

Quit your lollygaggin'.

Git.

Oh, my god!

Where you taking 'em, uncle jim?

Anse Hatfield, you're back!

Hold up, you bastards.

Guarding the home front, I see.

Yep.

You know nothing gets by old jim.

I caught these yankee shit heels a'pilfering corn.

He meant to take your life, nephew.

I never. We was just hungry.

I saw murder in his eye.

Please, sir. Don'm t hit lekill me.

On your way, yankee bill.

Go on.

And I'd hurry it up.

And I thought you was letting him go.

So did he.

After you blew out the other one's brainpan,

what choice did I have?

Yep.

Don't want to leave no witnesses.

Died unafraid,

how a man should die.

That's a damn shame.

That yankee piss pot should've suffered.

Yeah, well, you hate 'em so much,

how come you didn't sign up to fight 'em?

Fighting on others' terms is how you lose,

and losin' is intolerable to me.

Well, I'm back now and still head of this family.

I ain't gonna be no problem.

Good.

Then you'll understand when I tell you

to get these bodies off the road,

somewhere no one ever finds 'em.

Yeah.

It's gonna be like it was before.

Lookit Mr. Howls over there, all smilin'.

He's glad you're back too...

With all your fine plans.

Get the bodies off the road.

What were you doing in there anyhow?

Not even home yet and you get yourself into a drunken fight,

you shiftless fool.

I'm hidin' out at the still

till this ruckus with Jim Vance blows over.

You'll drink yourself to death up there.

I ain't going up there to die.

I'm going up there to stay alive.

Ain't right.

Come home from the army,

breedin' me like I was cattle,

then you take off again?

No, you've got your duties as a husband and father.

Kids, mind your mama while I'm gone.

We will.

Levicy.

Anderson?

I'm done with the war.

You ain't going back?

I've given enough.

I'm back for good, darling.

Lord, you lived through it.

How's our little boy?
