Post by bunniefuu »

Oh. Oh.

What's up, Major?

Giant. Sure got powerful.

Ha, ha.

Oh, Smoke signals up there talking about.

Us at first
as the wagons were heading that way.

And the Saxman says
you'll be waiting for us.

Now, get everybody pointed out right away.

And order in.

After sundown,

minute every other, like a stand.

The first watch.

Get a moon.

Oh, yes,

Mr. O'Malley.

You stop worrying.

Everything's going to be all right.

Sure.

Quiet out here tonight, Hap.

I just hope it stays that way.

If you. Adams

Here's

some way we could move around them.

Mr. Mason.

I'm not taking any chances
with this medicine, Mark.

Medicine. Mark is chief of the shire.

Hates white men.

Any white man I sent Michael
on to get a military escort.

That means we'll be losing a lot of time.

It's better than losing our scouts.

Nobody ever try to make peace
with his medicine.

Mark. He's

far as I know.

No white man's ever set eyes on him
and lived to tell about it.

It's funny thing

most Indians,
you know, won't attack at night.

And not this fellow
you attack any time at all.

He's got a chance to k*ll a white man.

God darn owls give me the creeps.

Especially this kind.

Why this kind of.

Yeah, this kind of fly.

What do you think, Major?

Oh, I don't know.

Ought to be daylight
in about another hour.

I don't think they'll jump.

Looking for a fellow.

Named Francis Mason.

You better show yourself, mister.

You'll be dead
before you get a chance to lay.

Eyes on him. What's

the buzz, Wilcox.

Are you out of your head?

Come on.

To a Cheyenne

w*r party at night, up to our wagon train
that's waiting to be attacked.

And don't want this stuff all high.

They like white meat,
fresh and tender from the East Scouts.

It's a lot nicer, too.

They ain't been burned. A shoe leather.

You ramrod in this outfit.

I am.

I've been riding a miller's
whole wagon train without you knowing.

You could have tried back.

You're doing the best job.

You know how we do.

All right now, sir.

Where is it? Francis Mason.

I'm Francis Mason.

A ritualist
and expect to meet you until later.

What you're looking for is
around these parts so we can get started.

Rodney started for the big country. Mr.

Man Can't tell where he's going to end up.

Sign. Don't give him much choice.

I'm gonna Irena, we got a long ways to go.

Come on, let's get started.

I'm not going anywhere yet.

With your permission, sir,
I'd like to talk to Mr.

Mason alone.

Go ahead.

He didn't seem very anxious.

You didn't read me Much proof.

Of what I told you.

All I know in my letter,
you load more on me.

Maybe you think you don't need me.

You need me. Mr. Mason.

You couldn't
stay alive out there to argue without me.

I'm not going out there with you.

But you give me some good reasons.

You want to find your brother, don't you?

That's what the advertisement said.

You offered $5,000 reward.

To the man who takes me to.

Central land.

That's right.

I'm so young anymore.

I got rheumatism sitting in the sun zlotys
and set in the saddle.

And I risk and aches and pains in my scalp
for just a ride in here.

I want it $5,000, Mr. Mason.

I And to enlighten it
by taking you to your brother.

You seem very sure.

Just as sure as I know
medicine Mark is sitting up in them hills

waiting to m*ssacre you.

Every man,
woman and child on this wagon train.

All right, I'll go with you.

I want to see the $5,000 I've got.

It said.

I want to see

rest of my losses in there.

Mr. Mason.

Major.

A driver.

I'll take my word into the fort.

What about you?

I'm going with Mr.

Wilcox.

Listen, you're a fool.

You can't stop me.

No, I don't reckon I can tell you.

Don, do yourself a favor.

When you ask that.

When the cavalry gets here,
they can tell you where

the shine of the thing is and where you're
going to get the most trouble.

I've been hunting,
trapping these hills for 25 years.

Look here.

It's all I ever have.

And that's the way

it's going to be till it gets
put in a pine coffin with the rest of me.

Quickest way.

I know. Getting K*llers, getting mixed up
with them. Thick head and shoulders.

I'm going now, Mr.

Mason.

You want me to help you catch up with me.

And no

jailhouse?

Oh, Carlo,

down.

Luck always poking their noses
in other people's business.

I know where it is. And come on.

They mustn't waste time.

The wagon train
is depending on the atmosphere.

I've set them shine on that whole wagon
train.

Yeah.

Somebody will have to cut my hair, locks
myself.

Out of Mr.

Mason.

Love fence.

It shouldn't be this far from the wagon
train.

It's too dangerous. I'm looking at acting.

Quite

spot after badge.

Just doing a good turn,
that's all I'm doing good for.

Who buys Wilcox for me?

Perhaps.

I don't want to button your affairs, Mr.

Mason, but I know this part of the country
I know is Wilcox,

and there's nothing
he wouldn't do for money.

That includes m*rder, g*n
running to the end.

His horse stealing,
you name it by just done it.

How come you ain't home yet?

How come you haven't been scalped yet?

Ain't nobody slick enough to catch.

Your answer, Mr. Mason.

Now, do you still propose to go out there
alone with this man?

Yes. There's
nothing I can say or do to stop you know,

you can stop by a drug act

so you can arrest him
for trying to swindle almost women.

Man, ain't no swindle.

You're leading them
right into the heart of medicine.

Marx country.
I know where I'm leading him.

No white man can go in there and live.

I a there.

Maybe I've got a secret.

All right.

But I'm sending a couple of men
along with you.

You know you ain't captain.

You know something?
You ain't tracking Me neither.

You have much money on him, Mr. Mason.

Enough.

Don't ever take your eyes off
of this man, Mr.

Mason, because he's liable to Robin
leaving the hills today.

He might even cellular the Indians.



And about 20 years ago,
I might not have had a reason.

Good luck, Mr.

Mason.

You won't be what.

I think the soldier told you, Mr. Mason.

I do. It's not important.

I intend to live
until I see my brother's face.

So do. I.

Till I get a hold of that $5,000.

Just as.

Motorcycles are gone.

And gone for some time.

Maybe they left when they saw the cavalry.

They're still following us.

Some out there
less than a hundred yards from us.

Now, How do you know. I can smell em?

Oh, watch form.

I smoke. I like.

This is just a Sunday
ride to church. Come on, Mr..

We're stopping here.

To pick the more exposed.

Spot and looking for it all afternoon.

Get out of your house.

Mr. Mason

is fixing to become bait.

Bait?

Yes, sir.

I'm aiming to let ourselves get catched.

Just a minute, friends.

Madison Marx, the only man alive,
can take you to your brother.

Medicine, Mark.

That's what I said. Now

you want to run along?

Go ahead.

I don't understand.

You mean my brother's a c*ptive?

Your brother's got a scar on his face.

And it's a terrible scar.

Something that could be.

More like a burn.

Red. No. Better.

Grover it.

I got burned.

Yes. It was a burn.

It was a hot call from the fireplace.

You wouldn't look

how long.

Only think we'll have to wait.

Just as long as he wants us

to wait him with his w*r
shirt covered with scalps.

Bravest legal wise of the owl.

That's what they say

about him, sent by the Great Spirit
to save him from the white man.

Great spirit.

With all his hate and all
his glory, he'd never catch your badge.

Wilcox stepped in when I let him go.

Come on, let's build a fire drill A big
and big enough to light up a mountain.

Big enough to warm all them Cheyenne,
who'll be watching us all night long.

From behind them rocks.

Why do you hate him?

So you think I'm a white man who don't?

But yours is a different kind of hate.

Almost as if you were jealous.

Jealous?

I had

more and
better chances than him to turn Indian

when I stayed with my own people.

Are you telling me that

medicine Mark, as a white man,
as white as you are?

He was one to live

where no white man ever lived before.

Or at least him.

How to live off the land,
how to hunt, how to keep his scalp.

Teach him everything you know,

you come out here
white faced and weak as a baby chick.

Oh, he is a client.

What Lily spoke was against all man

and a hundred times at night in his sleep.

And till I know the words myself,

he moaned.

Cain said to the Lord,

My punishment is more than I can bear.

I must go
strain and stumbling all over the world

and everyone that catches me will k*ll me,

which

I think one's come in close to Mr.

Mason and.

No. Telemedicine Mark.

I bring him his blood brother
who's been searching for him

these past 20 years,

vomits

the same red again.

The Lord set a mark on Cain

to prevent
anyone catching and k*lling him.

Cain left the presence of the Lord.

And scolded Mr.

Mason.

He showed

some alone I could not.

And don't make no noise, Mr.

Mason.

Look around
and all of a sudden you're out in front of

your insides.

Get to walking around like a snake.

In a Perry.

The What is it?

The horses are gone.

Second nature for trying to steal a horse.

But they didn't even leave in a huff.

Mark's sure were quiet about it,

Mike.

Last night, long ago. Sometime

that heathen brother George
got to spend down like we locked up.

The afraid Wilcox.

Nothing I can see here.

A smell.

It's just today.

I never did think I'd live to see the day
when somebody steal by Wilcox, his horse

right out from under his nose

and make less than a ghost.

Now there's no chance of our getting away,
even if we wanted to.

We never did.

It's just like to be

made a fool of, especially by him.

It sure is. Medicine Mark's doing.

Sure. I'm sure.

I teach him how to steal a heart
dinner out.

They're probably laughing at us.

Tell me more about him.

Tell you what?

Ever say you hated me?

Never mentioned a mention. Nobody

mostly
said things that I didn't understand.

You know, big talk, big words.

Sometime in a foreign language.

Go on, keep talking.

About more to talk about.

I had my knowledge and it took it from me
as fast as I could show him.

You must have been a good teacher.

And he knows more than I did.

And then he left.

You left? Why?

He didn't tell me.

You never talk

much when we were kids either.

He was different from the other boys
and for me

did by himself.

I still wanted to be left in peace.

They said my brother had no fight in him.

My father tried to make what he called
a man of him.

I was ashamed of him.

You never did tell me, Mr. Mason.

What did you put that mark on him?

No, I didn't tell you.

And found it.

Heathens
don't act like sensible human beings.

Tell medicine, Mark.

I bring him his blood brother,

I know you.

After

my brother learned to hate very young,

he believe we were all against him.

It was true.

No man was kind to him

except you.

You were kind to me, weren't you?

Buys Wilcox when you come to me
and I teach him all I know.

I told you that.

What haven't you told me?

What else is there to tell him?

How? I'm Harmon to k*ll him now?

He's had plenty of chances.

Why are you afraid?

Because you are.

I told you
I'd take you to your brother, Mr.

Mason.

I could change my mind.

And lose $5,000.

Maybe lose you.

One, you black hearted.

Heathens.

So what are we gonna do?

You want us to die first?

Tell my brother

I come with now

to attend for the wrongs I've done it.

Your Chatham

Salem, your medicine Mark.

No, this.

How you, my brother?

How I'm. You got the mark.

I see that when you first.

The Cheyenne are my people.

I was born and became a man with them.

I have no other people,

no other brothers.

I cannot see your face.

See it and you'll never see again.

I searched many years to find my brother

when I have seen him.

And there's nothing else I wish to see.

I not imagine you ever, Brother Don, I've.

Never asked you not

to go durn early in the morning.

I have to
look at that silly grin on your face.

I'm a happy man.

Made sure I got nothing
to do around here for a few days.

So I decided strip down my horse,
throw the pack

on the supply wagon
and sleep like a baby for a week.

Maybe you'd like to have woods
to serve your meals in bed for you.

Well, it's a good idea.

How the devil.

Can you think about sleeping
when that man Mason is out there?

Good morning, gentlemen.

Good morning.

Good morning, Kevin.

We are ready to start any time you are.

What about the Cheyenne?

My scouts tell me they have faded back
into the hills.

They haven't felt it very far.

Captain Cheyenne,

stick with the wagon train,
even with an escort waiting for a break.

And it could be that medicine
Mark has got something else on his mind.

I suggest
we get started as early as possible.

Tell me one thing, Captain.

What do you propose to do about that
feller?

Mason?

Mr. Mason is no longer our business.

Our job is to get this wagon
train safely to the fort.

You need my help, Captain.

If I do, I'll call on you.

Yes, sir.

Captain. Sir.

I still look pretty worried, madam.

I'm not very happy.

McCullough.

In your humble opinion,
if you ever had an unable opinion,

which is the more dangerous medicine
Margaret buys.

Look, that's. Amazing. Yeah.

From what I hear and BYD's Wilcox
spends money,

there's nobody is dangerous.

If you really want mine high, you.

Don't get paid for your opinion.
You get paid for being out in front.

They're telling me
what's going to happen to us.

What you have,
what the captain said, Whose hand you.

Him or me.

I've thought I didn't do your job.
Well. You?

Yes, sir.

Major, Sir.

Try to give me another cup of coffee

and go find Bill Hawks.

Get him to have everybody ready
to pull out as soon as it's daylight.

Yes, sir, Major.

Sure.

It was

Charles.

You say you are
medicine Marx brother. Yes,

I know him.

By the mark on his cheek.

I have been looking for you, Charles,

ever since Father died to bring you home.

With a Cheyenne. Go.

There is my home.

I do not know your father.

Therefore, I cannot mourn for him.

If I die for it.

He's my brother.

Untie him.

Are the bravest warriors
of the Cheyenne nation.

So afraid of an old man that they keep me
tied up like a dog.

A dog is a dog.

A mad dog must be roped
and tied until cured by death.

He allowed himself to be taken
to bring me to my brother.

No other reasons to.

They will be liars. We will not hear them.

Sit down,

my father.

Bull man.

Greatest of the Cheyenne is old.

Therefore listen and remember

that you may tell your children
and they theirs

tell how you lost your brother.

When we were boys,

my brother was kind and gentle,

and while he read his books,

I thought only foolish things.

I was jealous of him.

It seemed to me
my mother loved him more than me.

She saw in him the gentleness
that my father and I took for weakness.

She protected him from our cruelty.

But she died too soon.

I do not understand how father or mother
can love one son more than another.

Our father was a strong man, too strong.

His hand was of iron.

His sl*ves hid from him
when he came into the fields.

He was angry with you, Charles.

When you spoke against sl*very,

my brother stood alone

and said
God would not have given any man life.

He does not intend him to be free,

but his own people turned against him.

They said he wanted
to destroy his brothers.

We call him Cane

because I was ignorant.

I hated my brother.

Then one day we brave young men bound him

and burned the mark of cane in his cheek.

Even then, he defied us.

Suddenly I realized how brave he was

and I was ashamed.

You didn't tell him of your shame?

No. Why not?

I did not know how.

Nothing along.

The Cheyenne man who harms
his brother is put away from the people.

Or you sent away

now? My brother was sent away.

My father, who did not understand.

Did you try to stop your brother
from going?

You know why

I was afraid of my father?

It is a bad thing to be afraid.

But telling about it cleanses the heart.

Then came the w*r.

Many men died.

Among them our father.

No man fought more bravely.

I held him in my arms as he was dying.

And he said, Find Charles

and beg him to forgive me.

Will you forgive him, Charles

and and me.

And come home.

My father is bull man,

wisest of the Cheyenne.

I wear the w*r shirt.

He who wears it is forced into battle

Last to leave it.

You are my brother.

Like man kills the buffalo

My people go hungry

He shoots my young men

and all women well in the largess.

Our children have no fathers to make meat.

He wears the
w*r shirt must take care of his people.

Give them what they need.

Once I went to w*r with

only a lens to show
I was not afraid to die.

Now I go to w*r with g*ns
to keep my people from dying.

I wear the w*r shirt

and it is a heavy burden.

I would put it off,

but my people need me.

I will wear it

as long as I can.

Your people are in Virginia.

Come home.

The white man throws away his son.

The white man betrays his own brother.

A white man steals from his own kind,

leaves him to die in the desert.

Was your fault.

He was a devil. Tempted me.

You had $5,000 in gold
to take into the wilderness. Why?

I wouldn't do you no good.

Use mad anyway.

Mad with hate.

Don't you dance to the sl*ve in the.

You think to help a brother you come to.

Let Charles.

What can I do?

Tell him, you rich brother,
can you give me the $5,000 I'll give you.

You'll have back what I took from you.

Now I'll go to sleep one night
without warning.

Why you don't k*ll me

Even if it's my last night on earth.

I am does not crawl before those
he is armed

or he harms only his sworn enemies.

I am not your enemy.

You are a white man.

Your brother. The Cheyenne of my brothers.

I died.

They helped me to be reborn.

And I too will die

to be reborn as your brother.

I have no more word to my father.

It will be for you to decide

who wishes to make medicine
with the spirit

cannot be denied.

We will not deny. Him

my money.

Medicine for the k*ll you.

It is at $5,000 and.

Once I have fixed this to your skin,

a leather thong will attach them

to the rawhide on a tree.

And after that

you will walk four times to the left.

And then you turn to go four times
to the right.

Remember, always fall to the left

or to the right.

Three times before the sun goes down.

You're permitted to rest against the tree

for a brief period,
which you may not eat the minute drink.

When I have heard the spirit.

If you heard the spirit
and tried to break free of this,

if you cannot,

I will cut you loose after sundown.

But you dream come true.

I saw myself listening to an old man
among my brothers, the Cheyenne.

That was my dream.

The tree is ready.

The Cheyenne do not show pain.

The Cheyenne honors the brave man.

We will return you to your people.

It is not necessary
that you swing from the pole.

It is necessary.

Your spirit may be different from ours.

They may not hear you from this place.

You will hear me.

Faith is the first commandment.

Love the second.

I am ready.

Kneel.

Four times to the left.

Four times to the right.

It's a long journey.

I have heard

from.

Your brother Has the blood of a warrior

is stubborn?

He is not yet My brother.

So where

at once For the arrested?

I tell you again I feel forgotten.

You may arrest three times before sundown.

I would be proud to call this man Brother.

Jerusalem First woman.

I came on your face.

I had to get more when I said you had
more money than I have ever seen before.

The brains to learn in the year
what took me a lifetime to learn

Hate you for the chance

to get even with you.

The day I left

you are to die
and to finish the job myself.

Now I curse you
for doing on your own brother.

I cursed for being the devil.

She is your brother.

You're k*lling him.

In my father's house

for many.

Minutes.

Goodness in Mark.

My r*fle is pointed at your heart.

You will be the first

dead Even if we all that no one will die.

Not today, nor in the days to come.

We live in peace.

From now on.

The warrior medicine
mark only talks of peace.

It was his dream.

My brother's dream must come true.

Your brother

carry
my brother to the losses of the life men

see They make their journeys safer.

Is it dead?

He will live.

My children
will sing of him to their children.

I hope the warrior medicine.

Marcus is great in peace
as he has been in w*r

with.

Take your greatness to lead in peace.

Once we have learned to live
without hatred,

I will call him my second son

and you will call him brother.

I tell him you call him brother.

He knows.

But can I say to you.

What you say to
yourself is more important?

Honor.

Oh. Oh,

Have you there?

See, what I see with those couple in is

it's like two white men with

a splint.

McCullen buys, by golly.

Well. Mr.

Mason, I.

I know

you kept your promise.

I'll keep my money in my wallet.

I think you know what it is.



Yes, sir. I'll go and take it.

You and.

Schroeder.

Thank you, Mr. Mason.

Good luck to you, sir.

You too.

Now, what could I do with $5,000.

Cash and good luck, you.

All, Major.

I'll see you. Right.

Details for our

hour, Mr.

Mason. How you doing?

Fine, Major. Fine.

You're going back to Richmond
right away, are you?

No, no, I think not.

I rather like this part of the country.

I want to begin a new life,
and this seems like a good place.

Nice and.

Peaceful.

Peaceful?

Well, I guess.

Crawl along wagon, train.

Remember,
the wrinkle gets a little over a month.

The girl high
and the weather train to the Lord.

We stay together side by side

on the wagons for

I'm wondering
if he said we're going to sh**t.

Doesn't look to follow it up

Johnny can be pretty if she runs

Oh God. To keep people.

The long time to go and follow the SO.

Oh oh Lord.
