02x13 - The d*ck Richardson Story

[bunniefuu]

And you.

It's all right.

I'm all right.

This can't go on. It's the third time.

Well,
maybe we run from a bunch of hoodlums.

Who used to be our friends.

We can't stay here any longer.

We have to go. If we win.

We can't. Not with the baby coming.

Thinking about the baby.

That's why we have to go.

Oh, it's a new world out there.

And whatever happened you about me?

Forget that in any longer.

We've got to leave.

We've got to.

For four days, this lady.

Well, I'm beginning to feel like a sucker.

You got a head. Start, Charlie.

You look like one.

Very funny, huh?

You're old, Michael.

I didn't run into trouble.

When you get back, I'm won't tell him
you were worried about him.

He'll be the most surprised
man in the whole country.

It doesn't let up.

What is going to come out of that
man's like a dam.

Busted.

And see a few more days.

This is going to be important.

We can make one a bigger.

Well, we can make Miles.

Perry

have an incredible.

Ten minute rest. But.

Oh, ten milligrams box

as the message.

That's a good manager.

I don't know why the devil ever did it.

I swore a solemn oath
I'd never take another pregnant

woman on one of my trains.

But you did?

Yeah.

And I ought to have my head examined
for doing it, too.

I don't know what was the matter with me.

Look, Major,

we're here, and there's nothing
you can do about it now.

At least we mind our own business,

which is a lot
more than I can say for some people.

You're talking about the muffins, huh?

Tell me what's between you people
and them, anyhow?

That's a personal matter.

But if I had known
they were going to join the train

after we got rolling,
I wouldn't have signed up with you.

Excuse me, Major.

Come on out.

Stretch your legs.

Still rain.

Sunshine.

And now

I had the most awful dream.

Let's have your foot.

I doing The baby was here
and you were too wrapped.

And there was no one here to help me.

It's downright silly.

And you know it.

It's as clear as day.

And want to get some fresh air.

Anything I can do?

No, thank you.

All right.

Well, I'm
glad to see you up and running again, Mrs.

Wilson. Thank you.

Oh, it's nice
to see the sunshine in a girl made you.

Sure it is. I hope it stays this way.

Well, hello, Danny.

Hello, darling.

You said you was going to show me really
major route.

You worried, Danny?
I'm going to show you plenty.

Any one of these days. Day.

Where are you? Down.

I'm with the major mob now.

Don't you start wandering.

He means I mustn't pass the time.

Fail. Oh,

Is it true you k*lled my pappy, Mr.

Richardson? What's that, Danny?

You know damn. Them.

What is my mum?

Say again.

Danny.

I think you and me
got a little work to do down the line.

Go ahead.

I'll catch up with you.

You stay here with me now.

Hey, could you listen to your mother?

I know what the boy has been telling you,

but it was no more the truth.

That's pretty strong, Mr.

Milford.

Maybe it is, and maybe it ain't.

I ain't looking for trouble.

What's done is done,
and there's no help for it.

How can you talk like that?

Look what he did to your own son.

Fred. Dead, Laura.

Nothing will bring him back.

Listen, I've heard
If there's going to be any trouble

on this train,
I got a right to know about it.

Well?

Well.

The Richardson family and us, we came
from the same county back in Kentucky.

Me and my son Fred and Laura here.

She was married to Fred.

We we worked as a farm too much.

Oh, that is compared to the Richardsons.

They owned a bank.

Raise horses, owned
half the county folks looked up to him.

Old Percy Richardson.

He was a fine man. Made you

tell him all of it?

Well, Percy
Richardson died a couple of years ago

and his son took over that one word more
than six months before the bank failed.

Half the people in the valley went broke.

He got a year and a day for embezzlement,
but it was too late

to do any good.

I see.

No, you don't.

You don't see it at all.

Everything we had in
the world was in that bank, my friend.

He couldn't take it.

You didn't see him walking the floor

road, so he couldn't even hardly talk.

And you didn't go into that barn
like I did

find him hanging from a rafter.

It. Really, Laura, What's the use?

You want me to forget it?

Do you want me to forgive
my husband's m*rder?

What you're doing to the boy.

It's bad enough in one generation, man.

What'll happen if it spreads to two?

Now, don't you get me wrong, Major.

I ain't offered my hand to d*ck
Richardson.

I ain't forgotten what he's done.

Not only to me, Laura,
but to the other folks back home.

Move forward.
I won't have any trouble on this train.

And I'd like to get you a word
that you won't start any.

Well, I ain't looking for any,

but I ain't making any promises either.

I've told you I don't want any trouble.

I mean, exactly that.

You've got a lot bigger things
to think about than family

squabbles.

Why didn't

I listen to you
and wait till after the baby came?

I don't know why I didn't listen.

Now, Molly.

Where I can hear the worst ship at sea

rock.

f*ck this kid.

Oh. Oh.

What's going on back here?

Oh, I'll be right

back, honey,

get up.

Get out of here.

Can I give you a hand, Mr. Melville?

I don't reckon I need your help.

What's the matter, Grandpa?

Just get up, right? Yeah.

Yeah. You know what?

I'm here. Do.

It's a very sick horse, Mr.

Milford.
It's a cold. It's either in plain.

What does that mean?

Well.

Well, speak up, man. You know.

It looks to me like land.

It sure does.

Sometimes they call it sausage.

It's contagious. Usually fatal.

It's an infection they get from the water,
from another horse.

Every horse on the train might have

to go by.

You seem pretty sure about this, d*ck.

I am.

He knows his horses.

Knows them as well as anyone.

Oh, you better do something about this
measure. Oh, he sure.

And, well, let's stick.

Horse is going to be shot.

Chances are
that wouldn't make much difference.

The rest of them are
probably come down with it anyhow.

They better round up everybody, I guess.

Got to talk this over with them.

Come on, John.

All right, folks.

Are we've checked every one of the horses

and we find that over
half of them have got glanders.

And it looks like there's nothing we
can do for the rest of them.

We have no choice, folks.

No choice at all.

Every sick horse has got to be destroyed.

So I want you to check every one of them
very carefully.

You'll leave us
at the mercy of the Indians.

Major, I'm not worried about the Indians
in this part of the country.

Only thing that worries me is
if we get a flash flood

while we're down here in this wash

stock without horses,
that's all there is to it.

I know it's
only three days on up to Martinsville.

Probably a man or two can get up there

and get back with the herd
in about ten days and days.

What about the danger of flood?

So you have it all over there to the west.

Tomorrow morning,
we'll start hauling these wagons up there.

The best way we can.

We can get them higher and up there

so that they'll be
out of any danger of the flood.

We'll be all right
till we get some new stock.

Oh, buying horses calls for money, Major.

Most of us are.

Mr. Logan is 1500 dollars
in the emergency fund.

I'd consider this
an emergency, wouldn't you.

Major?

Who are
you planning to send after those horses?

Well, I don't really know.

I don't know
where the devil McCullough is.

I can send hawks in. I can't go myself.

I sure got to have somebody know
something about horseflesh.

I was raised buying and selling horses.

I've done it all my life. Let me go.

What about your wife?

You've got a baby. Do you know?

I do. Women?

I've been having babies for a long time.

I guarantee you, I could swing
a better deal than anybody on this train.

It's important to me.

I consider it a personal favor.

Well, I don't guess
there's any reason for you not to go.

The main thing is to get those horses here
as quick as possible.



The way the things shape up
now, it's a matter of life and death.

Richardson's going for those horses.

You better send me along to see that
he comes back.

You're just spoiling for it. Move it.

I'll get this straight.

I ain't asking for any trouble.

But when you got a dog
that bites your Muslim,

when you give money to a thief,
you protect yourself.

I'll break it up right

here.

Can I send a new two off tiger?

That would be just fine.

Might not be a bad idea.

That Major

and I won't start.

Nothing major.

The way I look at it, we're all.

In this together.

I don't have to like a man
to be on his side.

I'll fight the engines with him the way
I see it, that's not the way it is now,

what do you say, Richardson?

I'd like you to get out of here
before dark.

We're all in this together now.

If it wants to go along,
we'll ride the Madden.

Well, together they can carry the money.

Cartwright And that's settlement.

Pick the best horses you can
and get back here as soon as you can.

Remember,
there's a lot of folks counting on you.

Be back in about ten days.

The baby will be here by then.

And you said you'd be with me.

Don't go.

But get the horses, don't we?

I'm the logical man to go. I'm not.

Anybody could go.

Somebody
whose wife isn't going to have a baby.

You know what'll happen if we have a flash
flood before we get those horses?

I don't care what'll happen.

I want you here with me
when the baby comes.

Molly, I look at the people on this train

and I see how they look at me
like I'm a coward, a thief.

I can't do it.

And the way they look at you,
I can't stand that.

It's my chance
to put another look in their eyes.

Maybe it's the only chance I have
to prove to them that they can trust me.

That the Richardson are good people.

I don't care about reputations. I'm afraid

I'm going to die.

You're not going to die.

I'm only.

Ready to.

Be out in a minute. Major,

I've got to go.

I can't help it.

Maybe the baby will come
as soon as you think.

He'll leave me. Now.

You don't need to come back.

I told you I had no choice. I mean it.

I don't need you.

Just don't bother to come back.

All that suits me.

That's the first sensible thing
you've said in weeks,

Jake.

Mrs. Logan to look after you.
Don't you worry.

She'll be all right.

Come on. Go.

You watch out for yourself again.

I'll be all right, Laura.

And boy, you take care of your mommy.

And he. Good boy.

You watch your. Step, Grandpa.

I don't want him to k*ll.

You like you did Pappy.

Oh, hold on a minute.

Tony. You make it. All the way home
and get back behind it.

Give a shout.

Come on, now.

All together.

One, two, three. Go.

All right, Come on.

All together.

Let's go.

Smoke.

Morning.

Morning. Sounds good.

While we're moving,
the rest of these wagons.

Got a job
we'd like you ladies to do for us all

this harness has probably been infected.

It's going to have to be boiled in hot
water.

Wash with light. Can you do that for me?

Anything you say.

Thank you.

Oh, Miss Logan, how's Mrs.

Richardson feeling?

She ain't actin right, Major.

She don't talk and won't eat much. She.

She's made up her mind.

She's going to die.

Excuse me,

Miss Richardson.

Mrs. Richardson.

Now, what's all this crying about?

Molly Richardson?

Women have been having babies
for quite some time now,

and I don't think their menfolk
have ever been any help to.

Go with you.

Problems to be here.

Molly had a job to do

A job for all of us.

If there was a w*r on,

you'd want it to dry up, wouldn't you?

Well, every time a wheel

turns on a wagon train, it's w*r
and w*r against the land,

against the weather,
against the Indians, against something.

I may not come back.

What'll happen to me if he does?

He'll be back.

We can move it.

He hates it.

It's just not right.

You know.

Molly,

Im going out with Kent Milford's probably
the best thing that ever happened. I

That young

man of
yours, has got quite a bit to live down.

I think that's the reason
he wanted to go out for those horses.

Should have anything to live down at all.

Not at all. Not to see.

No, I don't see.

I've got to do so.

Somebody else in this world
has to know the truth.

He didn't steal anything.

Not after his father died
and d*ck took over.

The bank

was almost $200,000

missing from customers accounts.

There was only one.

It could have happened.

His father

worshiped him

and he made up his mind.

His father's name would always stand
for honesty and decency,

no matter what happened to him.

He tried desperately to raise the money

that was no use.

Send him to jail for the crimes committed.

In a manner.

You folks would be a lot better off

if everybody else knew about this.

I had made a promise

you won't.

You sure that's what you want.

With d*ck once

he went to prison so people wouldn't know.

All right, Molly.

All right,

all right.

Danny Coffee, Major. Yeah. Leather cup.

Thank you very much,

Grandpa.

Be all right, Major.

He'll be back here before you know.

I'll bet you if Mr.

Richardson tries any monkey, he find
my grandpa and get the drop on him.

You hush.

Well, I'll bet. Yeah.

You want a beer.

Danny, Why don't you get out and help
the man with the wagons?

Carry Mama Mellow ride.

But don't wander.

You hear me,

Laura?

You know, I think that at least that you
and Molly Richardson could do would be to

bury the hatchet.

What he did to me.

Revenge is no good for anybody, Laura,

and hurt you just as much as it does
the other people.

You know,
Laura, you're a mighty pretty woman.

And you must be sensible, too.

And one of these days,
pain is going to be gone.

And you're going to notice
the fact that the world

is just full of men
that need a woman like you.

There'll be some man that you need to.

You mustn't talk like that, Major.

Unless I've forgotten
my California's is full of men

that are lonesome.

Oh, this is a mighty good cup of coffee.

This kind of man likes to drink.

Thank you.

All right, come on, let's go. Hey.

What?

I do.

I can't catch it.

You're not fair. Come on. Hold

your fellows my back.

You're not pulling him.

I put him through it.

Yeah, Put a little beef into it.

You're going on in him yesterday.

I'll get him some coffee.

Excellent.

Excellent. Now, come on.

You're making it go.

We'll get an early start.

If a lot comes out,
we'll be a man the day after tomorrow.

Oh, I'm Steve. Is a poker night.

Use of this kind of writing?

It's not easy on anyone.

Flash floods.

Don't wait for tired muscles.

I know all about duty.

What you learn about it in prison.

I got something that'll help you.

Some ointment for those muscles

won't help your disposition any, though.

For better

or worse, we.

What do you.

A smoke, Pete? I know I better have a lot.

For a while there.

I thought you were an Indian.

If I had a bend,
you'd have been a long time dead.

We're with Major Adams Wagon Train.

This is Ken Milford.

My name's d*ck Richardson. Howdy.

Name's Casey.

But you men doing out here.

We're on our way
to Madden. Bill to buy horses.

Oh, I just might be able to save you
fellows a trip.

I'm with Joe.

Last year, outfits
driving heroin for Claymore.

Maybe we can make you a better offer. Mr.

Casey, save ourselves
that trip to Martinsville.

How far away is your wagon?

About a day and a half.

Well, now, let's see.

Take about three weeks to make Claymore.

I don't know.
The boss just might be interested.

Let's go see what he has to say about it.

Here's your phone company.

Howdy, Blaster.

You hear folks going to Martinsville
to buy some horses?

Oh, with the train day
and a half back, horses got sick on them.

It's all glanders, Mr. Lasseter.

This man here says you might sell us
some horses.

Well, I don't know.

I kind of half
promised these horses to the army, so.

You know, I'm no worse off than we are.

Well, my name's Ken Milford.

This is the greatest.

Huh? Well,
you won't find no better horses.

No way around here.

I ask anyone about Joe Brand.

I'm Joe Lasseter.

Mind if we look
at some of your horses, Mr.

Larson? I'd be proud.

Come on.

That.

What do you think?

They're in good shape.

They just saddle horses.

We need workers. Stock.

They may not be exactly what we want,
but we don't even know they got working

stock in Madden.

Oh, we could save ourselves
quite a few days if we buy these.

And then when we go through Madden Bill,
we can swap them for a heavier stock.

That is, if it got any.

Well, what do you say?

They're nice, clean legged stock.

I'm going to make you a real price, sell

you the whole shebang for

over $2,000.

And that includes
all the horses in the bank.

Savings, a dime's worth the money.

Would you pardon us, Mr.

Lasseter?

Horses are fine, but I still think
we'd be better off in Manville.

The quicker I'd change this money
for horses, the happier I'm going to be.

You never quit, do you?

I ain't taking no chances.

I'm going to buy those horses.

This lesson in our limit is 1500 dollars.

They're worth more than that.

What's all the money we got?

All right, If that's the best you can do.

That's a deal.

If you heard the horses
back to the wagon train with us here,

I might need it.

Bill of sale.

The drive through Madden Bill.

Folks might want to see it.

See? You understand?

Ride along in the wagon train.

I'll get the rest of the boys
and meet you.

Twin Forks later.

I master

everything.

And here's your money.

Wrestling

package.

Now, Mr.

Rogers, get away with my horses.

What do you mean, your horses?

We just bought them from Joe Lacerda.

You did your Lacerda?

That's right. Yeah.

The bill of Sale.

Well, that's a mighty cute

dodge, mister,
but you got the wrong signature, huh?

I didn't sign it.

My name's Lester.

Joe, This guy you shot, Casey.

All right,

Pete Thomas g*ng, just like you thought.

That other one over there. He's new to me.

That's Ken Milford you k*lled.

What if I make Adam's wagon train
bringing him up?

We got the right size trade. You heard him

say we'll take him to Martinsville.

George, when's due to come through?

Any day now.

We ain't had a legal hanging
in these parts.

This might just be the thing.

Get on your guy.

You're making a big mistake.

I told Mr. Bill.

I told.

You I'm from the wagon lane
real high, and we.

Did not do that.

And you. Go,

You're going to hang an innocent man.

That's what a judge and jury is for.

It has nothing to do with me.

Why don't you ride to the wagon train,
see for yourself,

and maybe have your pals bushwhack me?

Listen, my wife's having a baby.

We all slip. Mister,

you better think of a better yarn
than that

by Friday, or we'll be having
a new Saturday for sure.

When are we going to get this stuff in?

Know what's the matter with people?

You tell them to do things.

They never get them done
when they're supposed to be loaded.

Greed, right?
I never want to watch where you're gone.

All right.

I'll say one thing. Be measured.

You've got an even disposition.

Always bad.

Get out of here, you little major.

f*cking tarnation you want?

Well, I thought maybe
I could do something for your time.

I want you to do anything for me.

I'll tell you,

Major.

Well, what is. It, pet? Molly Richardson.

The baby's coming.

Well, that's. Fine.

She don't look right.

I don't like a color. Oh.

We got everything
ready to get us on to boil. Mrs.

Green's there. And Mrs.

Parker, who's had four kids herself.

I'm going to look.

There's Richardson, my.

d*ck is there.

You take.

Crazy Molly.

Pack it, doc.

He's.

You know Molly.

Easy.

He's not coming back

to what I said.

You never come back to me.

He'll be back.

Believe me. Oh.

Oh, Why don't you go back with the men?

There's nothing you can do around here.

You'd only be in the way.

You let me know
if anything happens on place.

Sure.

How is she.

Laura?

Why don't you go help them?

A baby may be a long time coming.

Well, I.

I'm sure you're afraid will understand.

All right, Major.

Thank you.

I still wonder if I didn't
write something on to an alarm.

Oh, you got nothing to worry about, Major.

I don't know that for a minute.

He doesn't look like much, but

I got a hunch he could flare up
and be pretty hard to handle.

I know just what you mean, Major.

I knew a fella in Santa Fe just like him
once tried to stab me in the back.

You're a big help, Major Adams.

Major, How is she?

Well, she's all right, I guess.

But the baby was born

dead or.

Nine months.

She's carried that life for the man

just at the last minute.

It slips away.

Sure is a shame,

Johnny.

You know, something

smells to me like I could change.

What breed?

I don't smell or read.

Well, how could you with that
brush growing up your nose?

Very funny.

Very major.

Hey, Dad.

Milford's horse.

Oh, boy.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

I hope I'm

having a trouble with blood on his.

Saddle he needs maybe. I don't know.

What do you suppose
happened to Richardson?

I don't know what happened to him.
Maybe he got a b*llet, too.

And what happened to Milford either?

Well, the Richards is on his way back here
with the horses.

Matter of fact,
I don't know anything about anything,

except we're stuck in the middle
of nowhere and no way to get out.

And that Milford. Horse?

Yes, Yes.

Milford Tars,

He's dead.

Richardson's k*lled him.

Oh, no. Laura, just a minute.

You don't even believe what you see,
Major.

He k*lled dead and left with the money.

And left his wife here with the wagon
train.

Fire. Don't talk like a fool.

We'll see who the fool is.
They had a fight.

You heard it yourself.

She told him not to come back. If he left.

That's right, Major. I heard it.

What's going to happen, Major?

No horses. No. We can stand here and wait.

I don't know what the devil's
going to have any more than you do.

Just keep your shirt on.

Well, yeah, I know we're in a mess,

and as soon as we can get out of it,
we'll get out of it.

We'll get out of it some way.

Gold Urn McCullough.

Each time

I send him off without a string around him
so I can yank him back when I need him.

I ought to have my head examined
properly off there, gallivanting

someplace between Madden Villa
and those mountains over there.

You sign of yourself, Major?

I'll shut up and go get my heart.

Yes, sir.

He'll take care of these people
on these wagons.

I'm going to find. Out what happened

to those.

All right, Sheriff,

I'm finished.

Let's have it.

Oh, I just got word
the judge is getting you tomorrow.

Is that right?

Yeah. Yeah,

Well, looks like the end.

Looks like the

help.

Help? How?

Last of the dog.

Connor took a stand.

At one

hole.

In Richardson.

Get over that horse.

My glad to see you, Major.

Why the g*n?

You mind about that?

Just get over that horse.

Like I said,
you've got a lot of explaining to do.

All right,

boy, do any talking.

Has Molly.

She's all right, baby.

Come here. Yeah.

Born dead.

On. It's pretty rough, maiden.

But it's going to be a lot rougher
unless you've got a good story to tell.

Where's Milford?

He. Did

you k*ll him?

No, Major.

That's not much of a story. Boy,

Most of Hawk's back on the train triggered
the Jew k*lled and offered

to go for the money yourself.

Do you think I did, Major?

I don't know.

I do know you're capable of lying to me.

Like letting everybody believe that
you're the one that took that bank money.

And I told her not to say anything.

Ever.

Let me tell you something, boy.

There's a place in the book where it says,

Let the dead bury their dead.

No matter what anybody says about your pa,
it can't hurt him now,

but it can sure ruin the lives of you
and that girl of yours.

Your pores name in with a nickel in San Francisco with George could be worth a lot.

And get pretty hard to carry after,
I imagine.

I'm sure it can.

What's the story here is about Milford.

The true.

Every word of it.

Major, I swear that.

What about this bunch of rustlers
that you got the horses from?

And I heard them say
they're going to meet over at Twin Falls.

That's where I was headed for
when you ran into me in Forks.

I know that country. Come on, son.

You'll make up some traveling

rest and I'll be in the cabin.

You cover the cabin from here.

And if I can get up there with that far
ahead, we'll have in a box.

Or you grab that

r*fle,

stand.

Hello?

The board is.

I think the rest of you might be alert.

What's the matter, mister?

Have a little falling out
with your friends.

That's right. There. In there.

I've got them. Hold up.

I'm trying to get back that money
I paid for those horses.

I've heard enough of that story.

Here, Jim, take this rope.

I'm telling you the truth.

There's good enough tree right there.

We'll got the others here.

Turn that funnel loose.

You want the rescuers?

We got a bend up in there,
but that boy's not one of them.

Who are you?

I'm Sam.

You better make up your mind.

I can't hold you and then go.

Well, I guess we better take a look.

Let's go down.

You all right?

Bye, Major.

I want to thank you.
Wanna thank me, Brooke?

More than you'll ever know.

Here's your money, Major.

Why don't you carry it yourself?

We got to go to Madden.

Well,
we still haven't got any horses, you know.

Come on,

you know.

That's good work.

Thank you kindly.

I'm d*ck. I'm sorry about the baby.

We all are.

Very nice to you, ma'am.

Thank you.

Mighty good boy.

Sure. Glad we had him on this trip.

Well, come on, get me a cup of coffee.

What are you standing there by?

Gee, you bet.

It's all right, darling.

It's all over.

I'm so sorry about the baby.

He was so weak.

Things were so bad for you all the time.

I carry

babies.

Can't come from this routine.

He wasn't meant to be

my next time.

Next time
there'll be no lie or ever again.

Any time

Lord gave

the Lord and taken away.

Blessed been the name of the Lord

Human I.

I just wanted to tell you how

sorry I am.

I carried a lot of hate around too long.

Oh, I guess, my friend.

But I guess he just couldn't

stand up to things
when they got too tough.

Maybe just living was too much for him

anyway.

Like the major says, I still got cattle
and there's no hate in him.

And we've got a new life to make
for ourselves in California.

Yes, we do.

All of it.

Ready now, Mr. Richardson?

We already know Major,

they close behind you.

Have you have any trouble?

Just holler.

Oh, all right.

Yeah.

Oh, wagon,

little baby.

Remember, there ain't.
No grass over there.

It has got to be high.

And the weather.

Praying to the Lord.

We stay together side by side the wagons,

wagon, train.

Oh, you're not the passenger
in a winter wonderland.

Be said,
we're going to die looking for it now.

Looking for a girl.

Need me pretty
If you ride all the wagons for

wagon Oh, Got to keep the long

lines

and follow the soul.

Oh, oh, Wagon.

Never have a cabin in Virginia.

Don't they won't get out of poverty.

All aboard Crying the weather
playing to the Lord.

We stay together side by side.

On the while.
