Old Henry

Ah.

Come on.

Look at me.

Where'd he get to?

Where'd he get to?

I don't know.

No!

Get the rope.

We's... headin' east, towards Indian territory.

He's in a bad way.

Is that everything you have to say on the matter?

I swear. I swear!

You know what?

I believe you.

Whoa. Duggan.

Whoa.

The hell?

How the hell you figure this wound up

out here in the middle of these grassland?

This will work out nice.

Just cut me loose.

You'll never see me again, honest. Just cut me loose.

Sit on up.

Well, you see, I would cut you loose,

but that just violates my sense of what's right.

It can be hard to tell who and what a man is,

he's got a mind to convince you otherwise.

My people were from New York, where I was born.

By the time I was three,

we'd made it to coffeyville, Kansas,

then down to Arizona, then new Mexico.

I was in Mexico proper for a time.

I've tried my hand at many a vocation.

Some more marginal than others.

Finally, I settled on the life of a farmer.

Which is what I am.

We got that hog, stock to feed,

and a root cellar to fill.

There's tractors can do this now in quarter the time.

Is that right?

And here I thought

farming was in your bones, Wyatt.

This would be a good place for you

to raise a family of your own.

I know your ma would have felt that way.

I ain't her.

Or him.

By wisdom is a house built,

and through understanding is it established.

Through knowledge are its rooms filled

with rare and beautiful treasures.

And blessed are those hearts that are set on pilgrimage.

Much as I'd like to stick around...

Listen to y'all quote scripture at each other...

I'm goin' bird huntin'.

Thanks for the help, al.

It does me good to be here.

Makes me feel like I'm still connected to Marie somehow.

Give your uncle a hand with his things.

That is, if you've had sufficient respite.

Thank you, son.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, I wanted to go huntin' this mornin',

but your pa said he needed some help.

Sure would like to go with you one of these days.

I don't think that'd go over too well.

Your pa's a good man, Wyatt.

I wouldn't let him marry my sister

if I didn't think so.

Soon enough, you'll be able to

do all the travelin' and shootin' you want to.

Stop frettin' about it.

We'll take two chops for supper and smoke the rest.

I ain't got time to render this. Throw it in the pen.

Don't it bother you sometimes, they eat their own?

Don't make no difference to a hog.

Why'd you settle here?

What's that meant to mean?

Why? Why the territory, of all places?

You could stake a claim,

hang onto it for a year, it was yours.

Seemed like a pretty good deal at the time.

Got here before the guns went off, you know that.

I still don't believe this is what you wanted.

Up at dawn, feedin' the stock, workin' the crops.

Hot or cold, rain or shine.

You'll discover there's worse arrangements.

Pa?

Easy, gal, that's it.

Had me a mare near just like this

when I wasn't much older than you.

Lookie here.

What do you think happened? Some kind of robbery?

- A shootout? - Shut your nonsense.

I'd best go look for the rider.

Yeah, I'll go saddle up.

You tend to this horse and stay inside till I get back.

But what if it's trouble, pa? I can help you.

Go on. Do as I say.

Hello.

Nope.

Wyatt!

- Is he alive? - Barely.

Was he alone?

No, but I dispatched with a dozen others was there.

Give me a hand.

He's... he's lost a lot of blood.

Is he gonna live?

Be up to us, I suppose.

Too far and too late to fetch the doc.

Well, I can go. Ride all night if I have to.

I'm sure you would.

So?

You'll stay right here. Hand over that witch Hazel.

That is an outlaw.

On the run, shot off his horse.

You think he killed somebody?

Wyatt, I know just as much as you do.

What's that for?

Seal the wound tight so he don't bleed out overnight.

No! Don't never elevate the feet with a chest wound.

I've seen the scars on your body.

'Cause I ain't hid 'em from you.

Now maybe you'll understand your raisin'.

Put your hand right here.

Where you goin'?

Just keep applyin' pressure till I get back.

What now?

Bullet's gotta come out. And he won't make the ride.

Half that rope.

I'll fetch the doc.

You'll stay here and keep an eye on him.

You really think that's necessary?

It ain't not necessary.

Now, why don't you cool his fever

instead of vaporizin' on every

thought that comes into your head?

Trail's cold.

We'll get him.

That dog could track a fish through water.

Come on.

He should come to, you keep your distance.

It don't matter he's tied up.

I can handle myself.

You just do as I say. I'll be back soon as I can.

Come on.

Where's Billy at?

Keep your head down. You'll be all right.

Whoa.

He was here.

Don't look like it to me.

If I'm right, he weren't alone.

Whoever it is knows what he's doin'.

Covered his tracks as good as anyone I've run across.

Weren't for this rain, I'd have found him sooner.

I don't need you to speechify the inner workings

in your halfwit canine mind.

I need to know where he's headed.

Well, that don't exactly narrow it down.

Where am I?

Who the hell are you?

M-My pa found you, close to dead.

He brought you back here.

Oh, yeah?

Who's your pa?

Nobody. Uh...

Henry. Just a-a farmer.

What, it's only you and him here?

He here now?

He's just out back.

Tendin' to the hogs.

Oh, yeah?

Well, go fetch him.

Quit mov... moving!

Right now, I don't want to hurt you.

I don't want to hurt you. Stop moving!

Where'd you put my gun and my satchel? Listen to me!

I don't know what you're talkin' about, mister.

Don't you lie to me!

What'd you do with my gun and my satchel?

Pa!

How'd he get loose?

H-He wriggled free.

Wriggled free?

And got hold of my knife I left on the bedstand.

Well, that's on the both of us.

Help me tie the son of a bitch back up.

Okay.

You better think long and hard on what you got yourself into.

Funny, I was about to tell you the same thing.

What you aimin' to do with that?

Gonna dig that bullet out of you,

maybe get some answers in the process.

I like what I hear,

I might be inclined to give you something to ease the pain.

No.

No!

Okay! Listen, listen!

No!

Let's start with you tellin' me who you are.
