02x04 - Ride the Wild Wind

[bunniefuu]

[ g*nsh*t ]

Drop that g*n, mister,
you ain't got a chance!

I wish we'd have
taken him alive.

Might have been able
to find out more about
the rest of the bunch.

This way we don't even know
who he is.

Look at the brand
on the palomino, sheriff.

Ain't that the Sherman's?

Yeah, maybe Slim
knows this hombre.

We can go by the Shermans'
on the way back to town.

Let's load him up.

Better round up our horses.

Finish pitching the hay?Not yet.

You know, I'd rather be
mending harness
than pitching hay.

Jess and I tried
to teach you,

but you always
had something better to do.

Yeah.

So I guess
until you learn how,

mending harnesses
is men's work.

Well, how come men's work
is always in the shade?

Well, you finish with the hay
and we'll teach you.

[ horse neighing ]

Howdy, Sheriff.Slim.

Looks like
you've been busy.

Yeah.
Laramie Bank robbed.

Bunch that did it
scattered.

This one was shot by Joe the
teller. We took out after him.

Looks like you caught up
with him, all right.

Yeah.

Wish we hadn't had
to k*ll him.

Maybe we could have found out
something about his g*ng.

I think it's the same one
that's been operating
all through the territory.

They get much
from the bank?

Cleaned it out real good.

Even took the picture
of President Grant
right off the wall.

They did? Andy idea
where they were headed?

Yeah, we think
they got a hideout

somewhere in the mountains
between here and Casper.

But nobody seems to know
where it is.

Ever see him before?

I don't think so.

Slim, look!
This is Cyclone.

I'll bet you
anything it is.

Well, look at the way
he stands.

Yeah, it's your brand, Slim,
that's why I thought
you might know

the fellow riding him.

No, I'm afraid not.

Yeah, this is
Cyclone, all right.

He was stolen from us
about a year ago.

Yeah, Andy could handle him
better than any of us.

They were real close.

I got a feeling this g*n slick
wasn't too easy on him.

Morgan and me had to load
the body on my horse.

The palomino was
too skittish.

Sheriff, if you're gonna
form a posse,

we'd glad to help.

Thanks, Slim.

Find any kind
of trail at all,

we might call on you.

At least you got
your horse back.

Yeah, we sure did.

Cyclone.

So long, Sheriff.So long, boys.

Come on.

You had quite a bit
in that bank, Slim.

Well, for some people it
wouldn't have been much, Jess,

but to me
it was plenty.

I don't
envy the sheriff.

That's a rough bunch
he's up against.

I got a feeling
he's not the only one

with trouble on his hands.

[ horse neighing ]

Hey, Jess.

That fool palomino!

[ horse neighing ]

Whoa! Whoa!
All right. All right.

Cyclone, steady boy.
Steady.

Cyclone!

Whoa, boy, whoa!

Steady.

That's it, boy.

Come on, Cyclone.
Easy, boy. Easy.

That's the boy.
Come on, Cyclone.

Easy there, boy.

We don't treat horses
like outlaws.

Easy, boy.

Well, I'm glad to see somebody
can handle this wild one.

Aw, he's not wild.

Just scared.
He'll get used to us.

Don't you count on that.

He's only been here a few days
and he's done more damage

than any 10 horses
in our string.

Slim is hopping mad.

I say he'll be all right
in a couple of days.

Well, that
settles it.

He's kicked
three horses,

bit the bay and busted
the fence this time.

He won't do it
again, Slim,
I promise he won't.

Oh, I promise you too,
because he's not going
to be here to do it.

Oh, but, Slim.

No arguments, Andy.

Maybe we could--

No, maybes
about it, Jess.

We've got enough trouble
around here without an outlaw

that cripples our horses
and tears the place up.

I'm going to sell him
tomorrow, and that's it.

Maybe Slim
will change his mind.

Oh, not him.

Well, you can't
blame him, can you?

We got to keep our horses
in shape for the stage line.

Every time something
like this happens,

it's money out
of Slim's pocket.

Yours and mine too.

Is that all you
grownups thinks about?

Money out
of your pocket?

Well, there are
more important things than that.

Ah, nobody will
listen to me, though.
I'm just the kid brother.

Andy, you got to learn to do
what's best for everybody,
not just yourself.

Now you think about that.

Nobody's gonna
take you away from me,

Cyclone,
don't you worry.

I'm big enough
to take care of myself

and what's mine.

Stake him out, Andy.

[ horse neighing ]

[ wind howling ]

Boone. Boone.

Huh?

Hear that?

I've been listening.

Look.

Whoever it is ain't in any shape
to give us much trouble.

You boys cover me.

Ooh, yeller boy.
Ooh, easy, boy.

Just a kid.

Dallas, build up
the fire.

Yeah. Looks like
he took a high road
under a low bridge.

Where's Curly?

Well, I told ya--
he took a slug when
we was leaving the bank.

Must have
finished him off.

Kid probably found the horse
and that yellow devil

just naturally up
and brought him here.

No telling who else
they brought with them.

How do you feel, mister?

Not so good.

You ain't gonna help
that kid, are you, Boone?

Where you goin', mister?

I was running away.

I mean, I was riding north.

There was a big branch,
and the wind...

Ah, sure whopped
you a good one.

You all alone?

Listen, Boone, we ain't gonna
take that kid with us.

Not to Miss Hanna's.

Now you don't want
to spoil the best hideout

we ever had,
do you, Boone?

He's sure to mess things up
for the widow.

I know one way to keep him
from talking.

Now, we covered our trail
real good up to now.

But anybody following that kid
is bound to find us for sure.

Well, now you two got it
all figured out, ain't you?

But like always,
you never figure far enough.

If anybody istrailing him,
our best bet is to hold him
as a hostage.

That's a fool idea.

You want to run
this outfit?

Never ask that question
unless you got the drop on me.

I'm still askin'.

All right, Boone,
you call the play.

But I can still think
you're wrong.

That kid ought
to go -- now.

You're at it
kind of early.

Yeah, I wanted
to get this fence fixed

before I went into town.

You seen Andy?
Nope.

He didn't build
a fire in the kitchen
or do the rest of his chores.

He is not in his room either.

He didn't?

The palomino
is gone too, Slim.

He must have liked that horse
more than I thought.

Yeah.

Only I don't think
it's just the horse.

He's growing up, Slim.

He thinks he should
have more of a say-so.

Maybe he should.

Yeah, maybe.

Well, shall we
go after him?

There's supposed to be
outlaws around.

He could get himself
into real trouble.

Let's get started.

You stay here, Jess.

I know how you feel
about Andy,

but I'm the one
that should go.

Yeah, somebody's
got to look after the place.

Right. First off, you can
look after this fence.

I'll get my gear.

Slim?

You must have
kicked out of the traces

a few years back yourself.

Meaning, don't be too
hard on Andy when I find him?

Something like that.

I tell you the truth, Jess.

I'm kind of pleased
he had the guts to break loose.

Trouble is now, how
we gonna find room

for a spunky kid
anda roughneck palomino?

[ humming ]

ANDY: Ohhh...

You coming to, Slim?

Well, now.
How you feeling?

Better, I guess.

Well, you ought to.

You've been sleeping in
the wagon most of the day.

You sure missed
some pretty country.

Did you call me Slim?
Yeah.

That's what you've been
saying in your sleep.

Is that what they call you?

No. Andy.

Oh.
My name is Boone Caudle.

Last night, weren't there
some other fellows with you?

Yeah.

Old Pike,
he's riding the palomino.

He'll be along directly.

And Dallas,
he's gotten ahead some.

They didn't seem too anxious
for me to come along.

Well, now....

you gotta get
used to them two, Andy.

They don't think too good
like us smart fellows.

One of them
got my horse?

Oh, we figured
it was Curly's horse,

friend of ours.

Well, he ain't, he's mine.

He was stolen
from us a year ago.

Sheriff brought him
in after k*lling the man

who was riding him--
an outlaw.

Oh.

Well...

poor old Curly.

You know, a man's got to
make up his mind

and then take his chances.

Wouldn't you say so, Andy?

Yeah, I guess so.

You know, a long time ago,

I got tired
of having people tell me

what to do and when to do it.

You know what I mean?

I sure do.

So I figured
I'd take what I needed,

so I took it.

Like I always say,

them that has it can't
take care of it proper,

then they don't deserve
to keep it, right?

Yeah. I guess so.

Of course now,
a fellow's got to stop,

settle down sometime.

So I've been
making plans.

And you're my plan, Andy.

Me?

I'll make a bargain with you.

You play along with me

and well, you give me your word
you won't run off

and give me away...

well, I'll keep
Pike and Dallas from

doing anything
you wouldn't like.

'Course, I'll turn you loose
when we get to Casper.

What about it?

Deal?

What about Cyclone?

Huh?My palomino.

Yeah, you drive
a hard bargain, mister.

He's yours.

'Course, I always figure
a bargain's a bargain.

I always keep
the ones I make,

even if it kills me--
or the other man.

Yes, sir, Andy.

Old Boone's coming down
to the end of the road.

One more little business deal
and I'll rid myself

of this fool wagon
and live a life of ease.

You a blacksmith too?

Yeah, it might look that way,
mightn't it?

Well, anyway,
that's the idea of it.

Traveling around like this
kind of fools the folks.

Even fools the widow.

The widow?

Yeah. That's where
we're heading for first.

We've been staying
at Miss Hanna's place
between trips.

Yeah...
she's a fine woman.

Must be.
Hired a g*ng of--

You watch your tongue, boy.

I've been courting
Miss Hanna Moore

for many a year now.

She'd have nothing
to do with me

unless I change my ways.

And don't you say nothing
to make her think
I ain't, neither.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, I figure on settling
down on her little ranch

and livin' peaceful-like
with a good woman

for the rest of my years.

When she sees me with
a nice young fellow like you,

well, she'll know I'm on that
straight road for sure.

What about those other two?

What does she think of them?

Well, I told Miss Hanna
they was my helpers.

That's about all they is, too.

Only you don't tell 'em
nothin' about me...retiring.

They might not take
kindly to it, huh?

Don't you worry.

I don't want anything
to do with them.

Well, now.

How do I look, Andy?
Huh?

Much better.

I mean fine.

Here.

You get yourself some
warm water and wash up.

I want you nice and neat
when you meet Miss Hanna.

Oh, what I meant was,
if you're of a mind to.

I don't think I got
all that blood out of your hair.

Oh!

All right.

Well, you took
long enough.

Wanted me to leave a hard
trail to follow, didn't you?

Yeah.

Ain't you prettied
up, though.

Think the widow
will let you stay

at the ranch house this time?

Pike, I want you to stay away
from Miss Hanna.

That means
talking about her too.

You ain't good enough
for her to walk on.

Don't worry.

I ain't about to get us
throwed out of our hideout.

That kid could tip our hand
anytime though.

He's my worry.

And I got
that all fixed.

It better be the way
you say, Boone.

It'd be bad all the way
around if it wasn't.

Whoa!

You wait here, Andy.

I better see what kind
of mood Hanna's in.

Never thought
you'd be the type

to let a woman scare you.

Oh, I ain't scared,
it's just...

that you got to treat
a woman different,

like a skittish horse,
you might say.

I'll take the horse.

You'll change,
come a few years.

That you,
Boone Caudle?

Hanna,
it's me, Boone.

Nice to see you, Hanna.

You sober, Boone?

Oh, yes, Miss Hanna.

See?

[ exhales ]

Good to see you,
Boone.

I was hoping
you'd say that.

Boone Caudle, you just about
got a load of buckshot

for your fresh ways.

I reckon it'd be worth it,
Hanna.

Oh!

I declare,
you're worse than ever.

In front
of all those folks, too.

Oh, well, now
you know Pike and Dallas,

they was here before.

That ain't Curly, is it?

Oh, no, ma'am.

Curly decided to go out
on his own, sort of, and, well,

I'll miss him too because
well, good help is hard

to come by these days.

I'm mighty pleased to know
that you're doing

so well in an upstanding
business like you are.

Things are going real good.

Had a nice profit this trip.Oh!

I don't care
nothing about the profit.

I'm just so happy
that you're staying with it.

I reckon you know
why I'm doing it.

I know.

Well,
who is that, Boone?

He looks like just a boy.

And a mighty fine boy
he is, too.

Andy.

Andy boy, come here.

It's a mighty sad story.

I'm trying to help him out.

Andy, my friend, I want you
to meet the best woman

in the Wyoming territory.

Miss Hanna,
this is Andy.

How do you, ma'am?

Well, I'm mighty glad
to have you here, Andy.

Boone, you aren't making
this poor boy

do your heavy work,
are you?

Oh! No, no, no.

Well, well, this, uh,

well, this poor boy's
ma and pa just passed on

with the fever and, well,

I'm just taking care of him

until I can take him
to his kin in Casper.

Oh, my goodness!

But make no mistake,
Miss Hanna.

This young fellow is
more a man than most
I've seen with beards.

I'm sure he's a brave one.

This is a mighty fine thing
you're doing, Boone,

taking him in.

I'll fix up the spare room
and you and Andy

can share it
while you're here.

Oh, no, no, no,
Miss Hanna.

No, Andy will sleep with us
men, 'cause,

well, now we ain't gonna be
no trouble to you.

Besides, when I move in there,
I ain't moving out.

Oh!

Well, at least you and Andy
will come and have supper.

Well, now that
there is something else.

Andy here takes
to my kind of living

but not to my kind
of cooking, eh, Andy?

But now don't you
go to no trouble.

Oh!

Why, it's a pleasure to cook
for a fine boy like him.

And for a good man
like you, Boone.

Thank you, Hanna.

Thank you.

Well, come on, Andy.
Let's go make camp.

We'll see you later, Hanna.

Now you just keep walking
and don't you make a sound.

Should I lay out my bed roll
before we go to supper, Boone?

Well, you do that, Andy.

Put 'em underneath
the wagon alongside of mine.

From the looks of it,
it could rain tonight.

The widow's serving
a late supper.

Yeah, I reckon as how
she got short notice.

Besides, it takes time
to cook as good as she does.

We eat beans.

Well, now
ain't that too bad.

Most likely you want
to write to the warden

and tell him how tough things
are on the outside, huh?

I ain't got no complaints.

So long as that place is
a safe hideout,

I don't expect to get fed.

That's right,
Dallas, old boy.

And after we visit
that bank in Casper,

you two can eat
whatever you're craving.

In the meantime that wagon
wheel needs fixing, Pike.

Give you something
to keep your mind on.

When are we gonna make
that visit, Boone?

To the bank, I mean?

I'll let you know
in good time.

Got a few things to do,
like stockin' up on ammunition.

HANNAH: Boone?

Andy?

Supper's ready!

Ah, comin', Hanna!

Come on, Andy.

Come on, boy.
Don't keep the cook waitin'.

Ha! 'Specially
this one.

Come on.

Ain't that sweet.

Well, I'll still rather
have beans

than watch Boone act a fool

and the widow
gushing over both of them.

That kid could
wreck everything.

Boone's only using him
to butter up the widow.

I wouldn't go
butting in, Pike.

Likely he knows
what he's doing.

Say, you want me to give you
a hand with that wheel?

No, I just about
got it done.

You're getting pretty handy
with them blacksmith tools.

Yeah, Boone's seeing
I get plenty of practice.

Ah, forget it.

He's done all right
by us so far.

He's got the two
of them sleeping

under here you notice,
away from us.

Better stay out
of Boone's way, Pike.

He don't like to be
argued with.

As long as things
are going good,

I ain't about to cross him.

You hear me, Pike?

Pike?

Yeah, I hear you, Dal.

Maybe you're right.

In case you ain't, I aim
to do something about it.

Something real simple.

Easy as falling off a log.

Well, I best
clear these up.

Wait, Miss Hanna.

You know, it ain't often
an old renegade

like me enjoys such
fine company and vittles, and...

well, I always figured
that people ought to say grace

as much after
eating as before.

Do you mind?

Oh, I think that's a beautiful
thought, Boone.

You go right ahead.

Thank you.

Lord, we thank you
for everything we got

and what we're gonna get.

Bless this fine woman
and this brave boy

and this old sinner. Amen.

Now, Andy,
get the package.

Boone Caudle,
what are you up to?

Oh, you'll find out.

You know, I seen
something on my trip

that I knew
right off you'd like.

So I up and got it for you.

Now you didn't
have to do that.

I didn't have to, no.

Wanted to? Yes.

There you are,
Miss Hanna, just for you.

Well, you're certainly
full of surprises tonight,

Boone Caudle.

Ain't very fancy wrappings.

Mercy me!

There he is,
the President General Grant.

Oh, it is just handsome.

I knew how much
you admired him so

I up and brought him to you.

What you need is a man
around here, Hanna,

but if you won't have me,

then I figured the General
will be second best.

Well, I'm mighty
proud to have him.

Let's see.

I think this is the best place
to put him, don't you?

I reckon it is,
Miss Hanna.

You know, I've been
thinking, Miss Hanna,

just one more trip
and I'll be pretty well fixed,

and, well, I know where I can
sell my blacksmith rig

for a good price,
and everything I got is yours

for the asking, Hanna.

Please, Boone, the boy.

Well, I've been thinking
about him too.

With a good woman
to stand by me,

I just bet I could
adopt him, legal-like.

Oh, Boone.

From what he said,
his kinfolk in Casper

ain't too happy
about his coming.

Hanna, you're a strong woman
but Lord knows

you shouldn't have been
out here alone all this time.

I've been leading
a straight life as best

I could just for you and...

We'll talk more about it
in the morning, Boone.

Oh, that's the best news
I've had

since the judge says
"not guilty"!

Oh, there's a young man
who could use some sleep,

I'd say.

I see what you mean.

Now you see how much
I need a woman around

to remind me of such things?

What do you say, Andy?

Shall we turn in?

Yeah, I reckon.

Thank you, ma'am.

You're welcome, Andy.

Hanna, thank you.

I won't be forgetting
this night.

Well, you'd better not,
Boone Caudle.

Turning my head as if I were
a young schoolgirl.

Oh!

Oh!

Well, let's go, Andy,
before I explode

like a keg of powder!

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

Whee!

Goodnight, Hanna!

Andy?

You asleep?

No.

You ain't said much since
we got back from supper.

Nothing to say.

Well, ain't you glad about
Miss Hanna saying yes to me?

You tricked her.

That wasn't right.

Oh, well, maybe a little,

but why,
I aim to make her happy.

Like adopting me?

Well, I'll just
have to tell her

your kinfolk
wouldn't hear of it.

I'm not going to lie for you
anymore, Mr. Caudle.

You what?

I said,
I'm not gonna lie for you.

She's too nice a woman.

What about our bargain?

I figure I've lived up
to my part of it.

I'm not going
any further.

Pike still ain't happy
at you being with us.

Well, I don't think
he'd be too happy about

you marrying Miss Hanna
and leaving the g*ng, either.

Why, you!

You--

A bargain's a bargain, boy.

You'd better know it.

[ creaking ]

Break it up,
you two.

Break it up.

Break it up!
Come on!

What are you
trying to do?

Wake up
the whole territory?

I heard the boy talking.

He's going to tell
the widow the truth.

And I suppose
you weren't trying

to get me right along
with him, huh?

You should have stayed put

instead of reaching
for the kid.

Then the wagon
would have cleared you easy.

Besides,
if I was after you,

why do you suppose
I didn't use a g*n?

On account of you're
so chicken-livered

you knew
I'd make you eat it!

Ease off, Boone,
we're too close to the house

to be carrying
on this way.

Let's move off a ways.

Come on.

What about him?

We can keep
an eye on him.

You want to stay
in business with me,

Dallas, you better
put away that g*n.

Speaking of staying
in business,

when do we hit
that bank in Casper?

When I get ready.[ c*ck g*n ]

What you mean
is tomorrow.

All right.

We'll go tomorrow.

That's more like it.What about the kid?

He knows too much
about us now.

We got to shut him up.

I'll take care of him
on the way in,

after we leave
the widow's.

It's a trick.

He ain't gonna
sh**t him.

He'll change his mind
before then.

I don't think so, Pike,
and just to make sure he don't,

I'm taking charge
of his r*fle and six-g*n.

I don't think Boone will pull
anything foolish.

He wouldn't want
the widow hurt none.

Now would you, Boone?

Boone,

when you coming back?

Might not be more
than a day or so, Hanna.

All depends on what kind
of business we can stir up.

You're not trying
to sneak away

or anything like that,
are you?

Oh, no, Hanna.

Oh, no, 'course not.

Why, it's just the opposite.

As a matter of fact,
after last night,

I wanted to get together
sort of a nest egg for us

so's I could ask you proper-
like what I've got on my mind.

Honest?

Why, that's the truth,
Hanna, so help me.

I'll be back from Casper
before you know it.

Where's Andy?

Well, you know that
poor boy was so tuckered out,

he's still sleeping back here
against the seat.

Oh!
Matter of fact is that
I'm going to talk

to his kin in Casper,
like I said last night.

I'm sorry
I doubted you, Boone.

Good luck
and I'll be waiting.

You take good care
of yourself now...sweetheart.

You too, Boone.

All right, let's ride.

Heeyah!

Come on, boy.
Heeyah!

Sorry
I had to do this, Andy.

Pike and Dallas wouldn't
trust you any other way.

You untie yourself
the rest of the way, boy.

Come on, boy!
Heeyah!

I ain't forgetting
we made a bargain, Andy,

but I had no choice
for what I got to do.

But don't move
till you hear a g*n go off,

and then I want you
to drop to the ground

like you're shot
clean dead.

And I want you
to stay that way.

No matter what happens,
you understand?

You said you wanted to do it
instead of one of us?

Go ahead.

Give him his r*fle, Pike.

One round of ammunition.

Uh, do I get to bury him
afterward?

Sure, you can bury him,
but bury him good.

We don't want him
found too easy.

You wanted to make it quick
for the kid,

here's your chance.

I didn't think
you could do it.

You probably
told the kid to act
like he was hit

then play dead
when you shot
close to him.

Pike ain't the kind
to miss.

Don't take all day,
Boone.

We got business in Casper.

Andy, don't move
till I tell you.

Andy?

Andy.
Andy, you all right, boy?

Andy.

You said not to move.

I didn't say not to talk.

Hey, hey. Yeah,

I didn't figure
they'd let me k*ll you.

Pike,
he don't trust nobody.

You mean,
he fired the g*n?

Yeah.

I slipped in one of those
cartridge cases

that had powder in it
but no b*llet.

Lucky I had some
in my pocket from last night.

Yeah, lucky -- for me.

Now listen, you stay
out of sight till we get.

Now it ain't very far to town,
you can walk it easy.

We'll probably be gone
when you get there.

You still
going to the bank?

Yep, I'm going.

Hey, what about
my horse?

You sure want everything,
don't you?

Now, they plan
on taking the wagon

and all the horses
into town

to give us some
fast legs to get away on.

You never know
how many of us

will be riding away
from this one.

Yeah, you ask
for your palomino in town.

He might just be there.

I'll be right back.

Boone, thanks for...

Well, just thanks.

Go on,
get in those bushes quick.

Pike's coming.
Move!

Come on, Boone,
don't grieve all day.

Yeah.
Yeah.

We gotta get going.

Howdy, ma'am.

I'm looking for a boy
on a palomino.

I think he was traveling
with some men and a wagon.

What's your business
with him?

Why, he's my brother.

Name?

Andy.

Andy Sherman.

I want to talk to you
about that boy.

You come on inside
and have a cup of coffee.

Here you are.Thank you, ma'am.

If Andy is your brother,
you've got a fine boy there.

Well, then he washere.

Oh, yes, he spent last night
camped outside.

He's traveling
with a friend of mine,

Boone Caudle.

I'm glad to know
he's all right.

Boone and Andy went
to Casper this morning.

Maybe I can catch up
with them then.

Well, I think he's expecting
to see you there.

He is?

Well, Boone
mentioned that

Andy had some kin
of his in Casper.

You like my picture
of President Grant?

Yeah.
Yeah, it's very nice.

Seems like I've seen it
before someplace--
or one like it.

Boone gave it to me
last night.

Boone.

Thanks for the coffee,
ma'am.

I'm awfully sorry,
I have to hurry.

Hey, Slim!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You all right?

What have you been
doing anyway?

Trailing you is like trailing
a dizzy jackrabbit.

Sure was something, Slim.

Nobody's
gonna believe it.

You were with the outlaws,
weren't you?

Yeah, I saw the picture
of General Grant

from the Laramie Bank
in the woman's ranch house.

You didn't tell her anything,
did you?

No, I didn't have time to.

Andy, who was that...

Who was that
Boone you were with?

He saved my life, Slim,
couple of times.

He did?

Well, I'm glad of that.

I guess he isn't what
you'd call a good man,

but Miss Hanna,
that's the widow woman,

well,
Miss Hanna and me,

we kind of like him
for what he is.

Well, I guess nobody
can blame you for that

after what he did
for you.

What did he do?

Just leave you out here
in the middle of nowhere?

Oh, no, Slim.

Him leaving me here
is what saved my life.

Well, those
other two outlaws

were forcing him
to go to Casper.

What are they going
to Casper for?

Oh, now look, Andy.

These men have
k*lled people,

robbed from others,
including us.

I know you feel like
you owe Boone something

but you can't pay him back
by letting him hurt others.

I guess you're right.

They're gonna hold up
the Casper Bank.

I'm glad you told me.

Hey, Slim, Boone isn't gonna
get hurt, is he?

I hope
nobody's gonna get hurt.

Come on.

Fire!

Fire!

[ panicky chattering ]

Hurry up with that water!

[ all shouting ]

That's the wagon--
at least what's left of it.

Funny it caught fire right
in the middle of town, isn't it?

Hey, that's Cyclone

and the rest of the horses
next to the bank.

I better let the sheriff know
what's going on.

You look after yourself,
hear?

That wagon belongs
to outlaws.

I don't care
who it belongs to.

If we don't put that fire out,
it'll burn the town down.

They're in the bank.

Boone!

It's the kid!
He ain't dead!

He will be.

Cyclone!

Here, Cyclone!

Boone.

What am I gonna
tell Miss Hanna?

What am I gonna
tell her?

Andy, that's something
you're gonna have to decide.

I want to thank you
for coming by.

Well, Andy wanted to.

He thought you'd like
to know what happened.

He was trying
to save my life.

Poor Boone.

k*lled in a hold-up

he had nothing to do
with, for a change.

Yes, ma'am.

All he could think about
was getting back here to you.

It was just bad luck
that we were in town

when those outlaws
were trying to rob the bank.

I always thought
that Boone would die

on the wrong side
of the law.

It's a comfort
to know he didn't.

Well, Andy,
we'd better ride.

Goodbye, ma'am.

Goodbye,
and thank you again.

Slim, I didn't feel
right telling a lie.

But I thought
I should do it.

It's hard to know
what's right at a time
like this, Andy.

The lie hurt you
in the telling of it,

but he truth
might have k*lled her.

That's what
I was afraid of.

Listen, you think you
can handle that horse
well enough to get us home?

I bet I can beat
that nag of yours.

That's a bet
you're gonna lose, mister.

Come on, boy!
