02x16 - The Hunter Malloy Story

[bunniefuu]

Folks forget hardship fast.

And I guess the good Lord met in that way.

Everybody was glad
to get out of the desert country.

They had forgotten about the mountains
that we still had to cross,

the dried out spokes and running
gear and rock and harness

just can't be ignored
and horses can be pushed just so far.

Then you've got to do something about it.

With as much of our equipment worn out
as it was, I didn't have any choice.

It had to be in topnotch
shape for the big climb ahead.

They were already behind schedule,
but I couldn't take any chances.

We'd have to make camp for a week
and hope that the snow

didn't come early in the passes

this late in the year.

A week was a long time to hole up,

but it was little enough time
to get the train ready.

We'd need every minute of those seven days
and the seven nights ahead of us.

I sent my up ahead to see
if he could find a pass

that would let us make up some time.

And I assigned a job to every man,
woman and child in the train.

I was just a little past pretty rotten.

Didn't I tell you?

Luck and change.

It had to change. You couldn't get worse.

Everything's going fine.

Maybe just being downright cooperative,
stopping the wagon train for repairs.

That'll give us the time to do the job.

Comfortable.

You know me. I don't like to be rushed.

Time with you.

One time for
it was like taking candy from a baby.

Trick and taking candy from a baby

as getting away before the baby cries.

Oh, we're going to take blood money
from that wagon.

They'd be like,
There's no use in gambling.

Only when Fuller wasn't lying.

When he told us
it was more than $1,000 cash in garnish.



In good, hard Yankee cash.

You know, do
a lot of things to my body and myself.

And Eric Garner.

Boy, has.

And a real nice

pretty little life.

He wouldn't miss the money,

and then he'd show me that pretty little.

Why don't you go getting
any ideas about that girl?

You just concentrate on the money.

Oh. Yeah.

I can't say when I've seen a more
pretty little girl

or got our.

Here I am sending little kids out

to cut firewood, nurses
to full grown men doing nothing.

Well,
they wouldn't volunteer for anything.

I'm not the type.

They don't know it,
but they're just about to be conscripted.

Norman, you two got jobs to do?

No, we're not looking for none.

No, don't.

Listen, I told the both of you
when you joined up with this outfit

that you'd have the same responsibility
to this train as anybody else.

Well, you see, Ted Gunn is paying us,

so we figure it's
only right to do what he tells us to.

Ted, Gunnar is not running this train.

I am going to Chesty. And you.

Listen. Let me tell you
a couple of things, mister.

But now, Major,
I didn't know you was so shorthanded. Why?

I'll give you my word that Berg.

He'll do anything you want him to do.

Oh, well, I sure will. All right, Bert,

you go find

Darrell Simpson, grab them hills
and cut some firewood.

Seems to me you're mighty generous
with your partner services,

but I'm in no mood for jokes tonight.

I'm going to walk away from here.

When I look back, I want to see you
over there at that forge, pumpkin.

Yes, sir. Major, I'm glad to volunteer.

Happy to be part of your work.

What are you trying to do?

Get us kicked out of here
before we get our hands on that money?

Along the way, it gives orders.

Anybody think he was the only one
who was in the army?

He didn't desert your forge.

You're going the wrong way.
I know which way I'm going.

I'm just going to wander

by Eric Garner on a wagon
and check on the little new bride.

I need a little inspiration
before I go to work.

I'll come with you.

It was any money around those minute.

That's the only inspiration I would.

Three's a crowd.

Get them straightened out.

Oh, I don't know.

He seems like a dog on shame.

Very nice.

Kids like them
saddled with two brains. Like those.

Well, they needed to drive a real quick.

You know, that's another thing.

The very next morning, after Garner's
regular, the driver got himself k*lled

in that saloon brawl,
those two showed up looking for the job.

That sounds like I got a suspicious mind.

I got one

can. Oh, you startled me.

Well, I'm sorry.

And I'm sure sorry Major Garnett
and your husband around.

He's helping Mr.

Clegg. Oh,

the coffee smell.

Would you like a cup?

I sure would, if you would.

I don't imagine a major
a mind if I dressed as brown?

You men have been working so hard.

I'm sure you wouldn't mind.

I found
that a man can do just so much work.

Hey, this is my friend.

Coffee. Ms.. Mrs..

This is mighty fine
Coffee for a young bride.

Mrs..

You know that husband?

He was a lucky man.

A pretty wife who can cook in two wagon
loads full of enough merchandise

to make him the most successful
business man in the whole way.

Yes, sir, he is. You're lucky.

He's brave to to risk everything on a trip
like this.

We hadn't thought of it as a risk.

No, no, you wouldn't.

You at your age,
you got your whole life ahead of you.

Everything's all fine.

You know,

Mr. Garner sort of reminds me of myself
when I was his age.

The real leader amongst
men. For such a young to.

Have wondered about you. Hmm.

Do you mind?

Oh, no, no, no.

Not much to wonder about.

I came west
when I was about your husband's age.

I was in the first gold rush.

I made a little. Lost a lot.

And pretty soon
it wasn't so young anymore.

But there are a lot like me.

I was not alone.

My father was in the first gold rush.

He was k*lled out here.

Oh, no, that's too bad.

Well,
it was a rough country in rough times.

That's a bad.

Lot safer, more peaceful one.

It needs a bit of courage.

Of course I don't want it.

Now, I know if you've got some silver
in a sock.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Gardner is going
to do all right. Pretty wife

mourning innocent,

even if he ain't got money and still do.

Alright,

well,

thanks for the coffee.

What's he hanging around you for?

We just needed a rest,
so I gave him a cup of coffee.

Well, I wish you wouldn't encourage him.

You two trusting.

People? I like him. I think he's nice.

Men are always nice to girls
when they want something.

You admit men finally learn.

Now, what do you know about men
raised by a doting mother and an old maid?

And what could they tell you about men?

Well, I think I know about you.

I guess you do.

A man like this going over here.

Then pull it towards one another.

How's it look to you back there, Bill?

Well, not so good.

And McCaskill wagon's in real bad shape.

All the spokes never Wheeler lose. Right?

I just saw him. The great catch.

All we can do is think
we can make it out of here in a week.

We've got to get out of here in a week.

A few days.

This time of year makes a difference
between life

and death to this whole outfit
once we get up that high country.

So keep them going right

now. Help you with that,

Whitey.

You could get yourself k*lled.

Got up. We're getting out of here.
Who are you talking about?

You heard me.

I said we're getting out of here right
now. You've got to look good.

You think I will get on a deal like this?

I guess something's come up.

And don't forget,
I'm still giving the orders.

You're giving the orders,
and all we've got

is a half a bottle of whiskey
an hour to set.

We'll do all right.
I'll think of something.

I like this one.
I don't want anything else. I'll hold it.

But the station wagon,
When we find out how to take that.

We'll find it
someplace else. That's final.

You rather tidy it.

We talk about it in the morning,

Colonel.

What's the matter, Malloy?

Keep pumping.

You want those shoes to get
cold on yourself?

Okay.

It's a real old Bible.

You got that?

It's been in my family for a long time.

George.

Your family Bible.

You know,

you told me that your father was k*lled
in the first gold rush,

and he died.

You look Major,

but when I get some sleep,
you're concerned for my health.

Mr. Wooster is really touching me.

I wasn't thinking about your health,
but I know how grumpy you get.

Malaria.

You know, God darn
well we're fighting time.

Why don't you stick to your job? You?

Yes. If you don't,

that's all about. And, you.

Know, we just wanted to talk

was the strangest thing.

I was reading my Bible when you came in
and start to ask me questions about it.

About your Bible,

you know.

And all of a sudden, he started asking me

questions about my father,
what I knew about him.

Murray was k*lled.

George Crampton.

That was my father.

Oh, he was a pretty famous man
in California

who's head of the vigilantes in
know town Marshal.

I thought you told me that you never knew
your father. No.

He left for the Goldfields
a short time before I was born.

He was going to send for Mother and me.

You never did.

Know he was shot by a drunk.

That's all we know from the letter we got.

Oh, that's too bad. Sorry to hear that.

I only hope that the man that k*lled him
got what he deserved.

I hope he did too.

If you.

Well, how about that play wagon?

Oh, it's going to split town.

And they could use some spare
double cream.

I think I saw some saplings
done over the creek.

Might cut.

A few of those.

Illustrate the how you get through
breakfast, get Bill down

to work on a broken leg of his won't
keep him from use with your life.

All right

embolus the name

George Clampett meaning the gold you

know, Major, we had a Roy
Clampett in the outfit with us.

Oh, that was Roy Crawford.

You're not head, I guess what?

Good.

But in the blue. Oh.

Oh, God.

What?

Marriage?

You man's gonna go

with your trouble.

Hey, that's my show.

Back off us car. You go.

What do you want to do is try to stampede.

He already had Major.

You couldn't keep your mouth shut.

Well, I didn't think that's the trouble
our gold is concerned about trying

to get by.

There.

Go. Poor, Rich.

We thought rich

come back.

Sure.

You don't listen to me.

You know, Charles,

look at those birds down there.

You know, I know what they're doing.

Scratching around
like a bunch of chickens.

You know, I'd like to have me
some of that yellow stuff.

Why don't you go on down there with him?

Stay there.

La snow gets up to that turkey neck here.

Hey, are you suppose an alcohol?

All that.

Travel back to Sacramento
and wash it out while sitting by the fire?

Well, if he could

not do that.

Blasted better work done on those wagons
in the last 3 hours.

Only man and cabin bill die.

Well, the reason
he's in Kansas, he's got a busted leg.

Are you going to get him back to work?

How did you ever know?

I know

how to yelling at him, that's all

that I'm cool off.

Talk some sense into

what?

That could be a man
like Bert, wouldn't it?

All a decent,
deserving people on this train

that Bert has to be
the one that finds gold.

Just no way.

Oh. Look what I got.

A dollar. A great dollar.

Like I get. Hey.

What's that one down the hall?

Come on. You've got to stake a claim.

You dig it now, win it

along the way.

Get played on it.

I've got to take you up a gold plated
coach and six high horses.

What do you say, Darrell?

Have a little blackjack.
How are you, girl?

Good. Come on, darling boy.

Oh. Oh,

it's just like old times. Why?

What?

Remember, Rush quit
that when you two died.

If I hadn't been for me,

remember, we saved a life.

It wasn't the only time in it way.

Let me see it again.

When you

Come on, let me see it.

Oh, good one.

You know, it's got a smell there,
but it sure is a little

liquor and women in the forest
going all the food a man can eat.

You do anything for gold

and sh*t. Malloy.

Still think we ought to pull out of here?

Pull out of here?

What are you talking about, man?

We got gold.

You mean I've got gold, don't you?

Oh, why?

We're plotting.

Is it always have billeted, Sheriff? Sure.

Like, look, besides, Whitey,

we can make a claim for two with me in it.

I stop crawling, I'll cut you.

I That's a good boy, Whitey.

I got to take care of Clay.

Sure.

Sure.

What do you think he's drawing?

What are you up to, Malloy?

That's my claim you're staking out.

I don't see any stakes around here.
That ain't mine.

I've been marking here for a half hour.

You're 15, 20 feet into my claim.

This when coming.

You'll get off this claim
or I'll k*ll you legally.

This is my claim. And I staked it out.

I was here first.

Law doesn't care about who was here first.

The law wants to know who staked out
first.

Malloy, you're a crook.

Get off my claim.

You put that down.

What are you doing on that claim?

Didn't you see that, Mark?

I said, look.

Oh, naturally, this is going to Please.

I didn't know it was you.

Please, I wouldn't. It you know that you.

I just have to make
the mark, please. Natalie.

I didn't know.

What kind of Indian sign she got on you.

She is none of your business, Burt.

She's a good looking girl.

She's not your type. Shut up.

Or when we get a let go,
you get a bond with a dozen.

Maybe there's something else

not said.

I just like her looks.

And I'll be doing you a favor
when I get rid of her husband.

You can't do that.

I mean, look, look, Whitey,

we don't need $2,000 anymore.

Cause not just like we don't need
those wagons of his anymore either.

We're. Sit here.

All the wounded knee gravel.

Diane, Lorraine, important anymore.

We found gold. It's
lying right here on the ground

waiting for us to pick it up.
That's right.

She has to pick it up.

And I'm going to make quite

sure we get the chance.

Gold on day one.

Not a bit of work done.

Lord knows how many more days for
they come to their senses.

Well, I'll just sit there.
Come on, get it.

Work on that harness.

In case you forgot, Major,
I'm supposed to be the cook.

Why don't you change your occupation?

My break coming at me.

Since when is work
making a lot of your work?

But the thing I didn't say is

my would never do said.

Do you still.

That? I suppose. Yeah.

Most of them are down there
trying to figure out

how they're going to spend the money
if they think they're going to make some.

I've already staked out
claims. I started digging.

You know, funny thing though, there's
only two of them know what they're doing.

That's Malloy and Burt.

The rest of them wouldn't know Gold
if they fell in 12 hours ago.

All those fine people, just farmers

all in the world they want to do
is take a plaster in the ground.

Now, look at them.

You know, Major, it's
just like they ought to.

Sick. Yeah.

Gold sick.

Some of them get over it, some don't.

What do you figure to do?

What I figure to do?

I'm going to take this train
on to California.

Let them stay down in them
rocks for a couple of nights

and they get cold
enough and listen up on their hands.

Yeah, And you won't be able to pry
some of them loose.

Then we'll them stay here.

By golly, we go on to California,

and those that stay, they'll never make it
through the winter course.

They won't

freeze or they'll starve. Or

what's worse, the golden foods,
or start fighting among themselves

and k*lling each other off.

And I'll have to remember
the rest of my life.

I left them here.

You know, Bill,
they couldn't give me two majors.

Yeah, me neither, Charlie.

It's a I like the army. How?

Well, if you're going to sacrifice
a platoon to save a regiment.

Well, you just do it.

Come on, let's go to work.

Maybe you're right.

What's this?

You got mine in

now. I'm going to leave that up to Ted.

The way he's digging away.

I know he'll be hungry

as a bear, so I just came over to fix him
a little supper.

Well, that's good.

Ted says it's
just know that he's going to find gold.

He just wants things for me, Major.

That's all it is.

You know what he said to me?

He said that he was going to dig me up

a solid gold coach and six white horses.

That's what he said. You?

Nah. Now hear, hear.

Everything is going to be all right.

Like he didn't.

Didn't even me like it.

It will be at road.

You know, a man's first set of gold
is sort of like snow blindness, I guess.

And it got me to

Mr. McCloy came at me like an animal.

It was screaming at me.

Don't you worry about that.

You just go ahead and get your husband.

Suffer.

You're a much more precious nugget
than he'll ever find around here.

I'm sure he knows it

here.

And so is your Adams.

Okay.

You worry about anything.

I'm going down here. I'll talk to him.

You tell him that I cried.

No, I won't tell him

anything, boy.

No, but I will.

All right.

I've seen Richard Dirt net under gambler's
fingernails.

How do you figure to get water up here?

Well, I need water for you.

Ever hear of a sluice box or rocker?

You're never going to get enough
gold out of here.

No. Mount anything without water.

Don't you let me worry about that, major.

Or I should just separate.

I want to talk to you too.

You got a tongue? We got ears.

I got a wagon train full of people
that are going to be in bad trouble

if I don't get them across the mountains
by the time the snow flies.

Well, and why don't you just go on?

I want you and Burke to help me get them
people back

to working on their wagons.

It's going to be in it for us.

I just kind of thought that maybe

helping prevent another Donner Party

might be enough reward for you,
not for me.

It won't.

Listen, I know enough about mine
and gold to know that there's no gold here

outside of the bottom of that dry
stream bed.

Those folks up
there just wasting their time.

And you know as well as I do.

That's the privilege.

It's only room enough here for two clams.

You already got them staked out.

We mean to keep them.

Nobody's
trying to take them away from you.

You got your markers down here.

Run into Sacramento, pile on them.

Come back here next spring and work them

before I can get you and Burke to leave

the rest of these folks to live with us.

Maybe we don't want them to leave.

Maybe we got sort of
fond of their company.

You've gotten
sort of fond of their supplies

to major.

From a month or six weeks.

There'll be 20 feet of snow in here.

All these people stay here with you.

It'll just be a miracle.

If any of you get out alive, I'll make it.

You wouldn't have guys around, huh?

You know, Burke and me, I

got an awful lot of friends around here
right now.

You see, we know all about mining gold.

And these good folks are counting on us

to teach him how you want to try
and take on our whole wagon.

Train yourself, Maggie.

Maybe.

Maybe I might.

He's got all the answers we need.

Yeah, To get his wandering sheep
back in the wagon train.

How many people say.

Oh, four or five wagons
when you come right down to it?

Some of them are walking lot.

Already with four or five wagons.

We can make it through the winter. Fine.

If we had the right wagon.

And if it was just you and me
and them supplies.

We'll have to pick and choose.

Take hold, Darrow didn't have supplies
in his wagon to feed his starving crow.

He's no good. No Radford's a gambler.

He'll take a chance. Craig. Maybe

I was thinking of Ted.

Gunner.

Forget about him.

Why worry about $1,000 when you're sitting
on a ghost full of gold.

For a smart guy?

You sure act stupid.

I was thinking of them, too.

Wagons. Oh, grocery store.

Now, for the last time, I'm telling you,
the plans we have are gone right through.

I'm getting tired of your telling me
to go.

You want to argue with me?

It ain't worth fighting.

It sure

ain't worth fighting about.

And at least we're better off than we were
yesterday.

Six more came back last night.

Yeah, I missed.

Serious. Six. My whole golden train.

What we need is men like Montgomery
and Craig and Redford.

Men, they can do something.

I just.

How you figure who's going to
stick with you and who ain't?

I just spent my life to be with us.

Ted Gardner was most anxious.

One on a train to get to California.

I that

all he's interested in is showing his wife
how much money he can make for

it stands a good chance.

Get himself k*lled out there
looking for gold.

Yeah, he sure does.

You know, Bill, kids these days,
they don't seem to figure

that this anywheres near you. So.

So he wants to.

Well, you keep these people working,
but you can't go on trying anymore.

Look at me.

Yeah.

Munoz is going in

as a young bride today,
fixing a little grabbed for the groom.

Oh, If he insists on staying down there,
I suppose he has to be fed.

Oh, you. In order to get.

He got to have a good ridge claim.

You'll be riding on a California
and a wagon full of nuggets.

When Mr. Burke. Takes time

to come

pick gold up trees, you know,
maybe a month or so.

Mr. Malloy
doesn't think it'll be that easy.

Oh. What do you say?

When?

Last night.

He said the 10th claim wasn't much.

Well, there'd be some gold there,
but not near enough. Milo.

He doesn't know moaning like I do.

I've seen worse claims.

And your husbands make a fortune.

Always a funny guy.

What do you know about Mr.

Malloy?

Just about everything
there is to know why.

Well, I kind of thought that he might know
something about my father.

Oh, he might even knew a lot of people.

What was your father's name?

George Clampett.

George.

I couldn't see it.

You want me to help you with it?
No, I can manage. Thank you.

George. Mm.

You don't Greenhorns

digging in more gold,
and they never find natural.

Well, we'll dig it up again after we.

After being around any longer, have

a missionary

lessons.

Honey.

Hey, take a look at this,

Rocky.

You hear that? Oh, this.

The house Jimmy here was dead.

I remember going in.

This bill came in about half back.

Oh, are you listening to me?

So I'm out of it all you hear gone crazy.

We know what you're going to say, Major.

Save your breath.

If you knew what I was going to say,

you'd be back there
working on your outfit right this minute.

I took a calculated risk.

How long up here for? Over a week.

I know that there's snow country up
in those mountains ahead,

and I know how quickly
those pastures can fill up.

You people all know what kind of shape
your gear is

in, and you know what
it's going to take to fix it.

So we go on, Who wants to go on?

Anybody does with any sense.

Anybody doesn't want to live, anybody does
that knows the difference between

a calculated risk and plain suicide.

I guess you people don't know
what these are like in the winter time.

Well, I do.

Have wounded out here before

Anyone who makes his mind up to
it comes to get out.

I think Burke's right.

We stick together.

We'll make out. We'll make out all right.

Just like that Donner Party

some time on your thinking about it,
you better start thinking

about what you're going to eat after
you've eaten your horses and your harness.

What's a little cold
weather to a field full of gold?

I know there's a field full of gold here,

and it'll still be there next spring.

And those that want to come and dig
it up, they're going to have

to move your cold bones out of the way
before they can dig.

Now, let me tell you something, and I'm
going to tell you, for the last time

I'm taking these wagons under California.

Weather is one of them.

Oh, it doesn't make any difference to me.

You want to come along?

Now's the time to come
and get your outfits fixed.

You're asking us to walk away
from a fortune.

It's not like maybe there's gold here.

There is going there.

We've all found it.

It'll still be there next spring.

Don't you understand?

I've got no ax to grind.

I didn't even stake a claim.

I just hate to see people like you

freeze to death and started as well.

It's not necessary.

I'm gone.

And then here you want to come along,
make up your

right Now,

little girl.

It'll leave that much more
for the rest of it.

Mighty poor pickings, though, Burke King
got the prime claim.

You got to work fast.

Hey, there's enough gold around here
for everybody.

You stick around and.

And we'll show you how to dig it out.

You make it sound easy.

Why shouldn't he?

He's got the best claim him in Molalla.

Most of it mine.

But right now,
everybody gets very excited.

Maybe.

But now everybody minds the stacked deck.

How is that going to leap
out of the gravel into our pockets?

That's all right.

There's no hard feelings.

You go on and work on your own.

Good.

Well, I'm glad to see you

folks made up your mind.

Ted, got to stay.

Yeah, I figured you.

I won't let him. He's got to leave.

You ain't going to do a thing to stop me.

If I have to drive him out of here
at gunpoint. He's leaving.

I say he's not.

Yes, he is. You won't stop me.

Get that shovel out.

What do you suppose young guys bridle do?

If I told her I knew what really
happened to George Clampett,

You didn't think I'd find out, did you?

Well, I have found out.

And you know what that means.

It gives me the whip payment.

From now on, You take orders from me, Mr.

Malloy.

All right.

Me and that girl will have a little talk.

Now, look, Whitey.

You have a g*n,
and whatever it is, you have to leave.

All I've written, go to stay

and I'll still have that little talk up.

Me you so much as breathe
the name of George Clooney.

But to that girl, I'll k*ll you
before you draw another stinking

breath.

There is gold here.

Look at it.

Eating ten, $20 worth.

Maybe all I had to do was pick it up.

You dug all day for this.

Or I'll get. Better.

Burchell, teach me.

Just give me a month. A month?

You don't believe Major Adams

in a month, it's going to be too late.

I want you to go out with the wagon train.

Slouch.

It'll only be for a month or so.

You and I have got a lifetime together.

Just give me a month to get all the gold
I can.

You know what, Major Adams says?

Makes good sense.

If I were you too, I'd go with the wagon.

Well, why don't you go on, then? Me?

I got no wife.

I got no wagons, only myself
to worry about.

Know, the more people
you can talk out of leaving,

the more gold you'll help yourself,
the less you waste your wife

for one month.

We won't be out of here in a month.

We have to dig a well.

We have to flume for water.

It'll be spring before we can wash gravel.

Even if we work day and night
before the ground's frozen. Boy

what can you get out of gold?

It's more important
than watching back right now.

Save your breath.

I just want to tell you how it is.

Is it Malloy?

Are you just an old man
who missed his chance?

Now you listen to me, too.

You think that gold is the beginning?

You think that. Once
you got a ship that everything.

Will be along gold in the beginning?

It's the end gold.

Is it something different?

You, us, one, one, one.

Just one, little one.

And then maybe just one more try over
the next.

You are in the next gulch.

One vein runs up, so maybe there's
another one just a little further.

A man will give up his wife every well.

Then maybe you do make a strike.

So you try and double it with the cards

and you lose.

Got to start all over again.

You're talking about yourself and you.

Myself, and thousands of others.

I've seen men get sick on gold.

I've seen them steal and k*ll.

Once it gets a hold of you. You finished?

Don't let that happen.

You've got too much to lose.

You know my father, didn't you?

I know George Clampett.

Where?

Tell me about him.

Would you meet him? In Platte Junction?

That was when he first came West.

I read the letters
that he wrote to Mother.

He had a good name in Blood Junction.

He's young, ambitious, a lot like you. Ted

is always talking about his wife,
how he's going to send for.

What if he hadn't been k*lled? Yes, sure.

But there's a lot I wouldn't have.

I've seen that gold
get them and drop this.

So until there's nothing left,
it could happen to you.

But don't let it kid go away.

And with it wagons.

Yeah, well, I'll think about it.

You do that, boy.

You think about. It.

We put.

You got there, Jack.

To drive it.

It's rather it's bigger

Goes right on

right on.

I told you to keep off my claim.
Your claim?

It's my crying alive.

You start it
the same way you stole the shovel.

It's my claim at all, Mark.

Nice and legal aim to protect it.

Legal?

Is it?

Oh, you stay out of this, Adams.

Every man here.
So I'm trying to jump my claim.

He got greedy.

There's no call to job claims.

Every man's claim is rich enough.

How do you not hedge? I'm not too busy.

Oh, here, give me a hand with this one.
A boy, please.

You just want to get him back
to his writing

platform.

It dies.

I'm going to see you hang
put in a jury in a country to convict me.

You see? Mighty sure of that.

I never been so sure
of anything in my life.

You're never going to live to see a jury.

And I was never more sure of anything
in my whole

life.

Well, I'm glad to see you back, girl.

They brought me out.
I had a right to stay.

And you can just consider yourself
lucky, Mr.

Say, you haven't seen this guy in a day.

I mean, you went on down to the street,
see what the damn blasted

You're going to try again, Major.

I'm not going to right away
and leave those two kids here

with people like Malloy and Burke.
I'll guarantee you that.

Certainly, I'm going to try again.

Should Burke and me can teach you
all you need to know about mine and gold,

I Look,
you bring your wagons right down in here.

The four of us will share and share alike.

That's the way it's going to be.

It don't seem just right.

Cutting old Daryl out the way we did.

What do you have to offer? Nothing.

What do you care?

You're getting your share.

Yeah, I'm got mine.

Fine. It's a deal, Bradford.

How about you, boy?

Take the hand.
This don't mean I play it out.

That's the way to talk, Jake.

All right, let's get at it. And

Hey, Whitey,

we're going to do all right.

Maybe we didn't get as many supplies
as we wanted, but we'll do all right.

We'll get plenty.

That's what I say.

And soon as we get
rid of Renfrew and Clay,

we open up their way
and find out what we got.

Now, if we rush and careful
right from the start.

With grannies to wagons we'll do
all right.

Gone is going. Is he?

I had a talk with him.

He must have changed his mind.

But it's a deal.

We ought to drop some papers,
though. It's just better business.

That's right.

We wanted legal tools, and it's like
Malloy said, we appreciate it.

You are giving us a job
when we needed you.

He said that if we were going to
bring in a full blooded partner and allow

good gravel, he'd rather be union anyway.

I said, What?

Don't look so absurd, Mr. Malloy.

I'm pretty good.

Kirk had promised
that he'd build up a cabin.

You're leaving?

You said it was Malloy's idea
to form a partnership here.

But I don't care what I said.

You're getting out of here,
the both of you.

My life.

Listen, you're not going to cut us
out of our deal.

You won't have any share if you're dead.

Now, when you get her out of here,
going to Mr. Malloy.

What are you talking about?
What do you. Think?

You got to go. Can't you understand me?

Talk to you and talk to you before.

Don't you understand?

Drop it, Burke.

Go with you.

What's this all about,

Major?

You've got to take that girl with you.

They can't stay here with us.

This don't make sense.

I thought you wanted them to stay.

Shut up, Malloy.

You shut up. Burke.

All my life, I've come to change
how come you don't want them to stay now?

Because I cut my life.

Because if she stays here, we'll k*ll him.

Why? Why?

I'm George Clampett.

You're a girl's father.

You made him.

Don't ever let her know.

She thinks he was a fine man.

She believed in him.

Don't ever destroy that belief.

That's the only.

That's the only thing I can give her.

And f*ck the devil
you think you're doing here.

Is it going to be hard
for you to believe Major Brady or not?

I'm looking for my watch.

You lost your watch last year
at Salt Lake City.

So I. Did. Yes, you did. Want.

Get out of here.

I suppose someday

people on other wagon trains
will stumble on to this gold field again.

And seeing these graves will wonder
never knowing

unless they're told a story of Hunter
hundred million.

But no one will ever know for sure

because a promise was given to a
dying man.


the way he wanted it.

A gift to a daughter
from a father that she never knew.

As we proceed

westward,
we will face the problems of today

with God's help, we will meet those

and the problems of tomorrow.

Oh, Wagon train

will remember no grass over mountains

where there has gone aboard
high in the weather to the Lord.

We stay together side by side.

No more wagons for

wagons for

a passenger
in a winter wonderland present.

We're going to sit down for a minute.

Looking forward.

God needn't be pretty if you ride

the wagons for

wagon.

Oh, God.

To keep them on the lawn.

I'm better to say.

Oh, oh, wagon.

Never had a cabin to begin.

Please don't have to wait
to get out of poverty for that

man aboard
Flying the weather plain to the road.

We stay together side by side.

All the way.
