02x35 - The Andrew Hale Story

[bunniefuu]

Ga ga ga.

All right, Bill.

Hold it.

Give me a hand here.

Feel better,

Hugh.

Who brought me back from the dead?

Lucky we came along.

What's your name? Mr.

K. K.

K and

Kane.

Transfield.

Glad to have you with us.

Can I have one of my boys
back to get some clothes for you? Hi.

I was go as I came.

And I thank you for your kind.

No, no, no.

Just take it easy.

Where would you go anyhow?

Into the desert.

Man, there's not a single, solitary thing
for a hundred miles behind us.

I don't know how you got
where you did on foot.

There were many of us.

We were attacked in ruins.

I found myself alone in the wilderness,

and he was left for dead.

Someone who didn't scalp you.

And we should go back.

Let's go back to my people.

Na, na na. Easy, follow.

Easy.

You just stay with us
till we reach the next settlement,

and we'll find out about your people.

Oh, I'm a man encouraged.

I must not conflict my cares about you.

Oh, now listen to me. Listen.

You can earn your way.

I need an extra hand.

Here you are, old timer. Try these on.

Everybody wants to help.

I see you are among friends.

As soon as you've rested
little and feel better.

You try those clothes.

That's good.

Oh, he's a strange old duck, isn't he?

And he's bound to be kind of mixed up
right now.

Bill.

Most likely
he's been lying around that sun for days.

Figure
those clothes fitted when he started out.

Ranks and lose an awful lot of weight
in the desert.

Remember, old man
Callahan lost his mule, came in on foot,

£60 lighter than he was
when he started out.

I'll bet this old man had a tough time
before we caught up with him.

He looks at.

Me. Well,
I sure wouldn't want to go through it.

Well, I got more chores
due for supper. I'll get going.

Where is Charles B?

What are we having supper. In that stew.

Stew?

Yeah.

It's not still like that.

Same muck we had last night.

Major
Guys, you're getting to be a fussy figure.

How can the.

Same thing be harsh one night to stew the.

Next landing? Water?

What are you going to call it tomorrow
night?

Look,

Charlie,
what are you trying to do, Stretch

one piece of meat all the way from.

Kansas to California?

Major. All the years I've been with you.

You've never once come to me
and said, Worcester, you're a good cook.

What do you want me to do, Charlie?
Lie to you?

Well, it looks like you ain't starving.

Oh, shut up.

Getting fatter every day.

What's that?

I said I hope it lasts another day.

Given, folks.

You know.

Good evening, Major. At home.

I want to take some more pictures of folks
as we start in the morning.

You know, character studies, America
rolls westward, the faces of history,

then that sort of thing.

I don't want you to question people.

On autumn so I won't get in anybody's way.

Don't take anybody's picture
without your permission either.

You understand?

Isn't that the old man you picked up
yesterday?

Yeah, that's him.

What's his name?

Can transfer something on the transfigure.

I think it is. Why?

Well, I've seen him someplace.

Transfer.

You got

from Chicago to changed his name.

Garrison,
can't you ever mind your own gall

darn business.

Can transfer them.

Take it easy there, feller.

You're quite.

Got your ceilings yet?

I lost my glasses someplace.

Say, I just happen to have an extra pair
right in my trunk.

I'm always ready for any
and all emergencies.

Don't let it go to your head, Charlie.

Just give the man the glasses. Yeah,

I'd better.

It'll be just fine.

I'm very grateful to your friend.

You're welcome to

Stew.

Certainly smells delicious.

Mighty grateful. You too. Friend.

Mr. Transfusion.

Don't make any hasty decisions.

You better take steps to first.

How? Still it is.

You know, lights in the desert
is the best part of the whole trip.

I swear I'd pitch my tent live right here
if it wasn't for the dead blasted days.

The heat in the daytime out
here is just infernal.

I guess you know that, don't you?

But the nights are soft
and blessed with the winds.

Night means rest after the long journey.

Time of quietude and star

sleep without dreams.

With a man at peace with himself.

Yeah.

I'll tell you right now, I'm not that man

living.

I close my eyes, I start fighting Indians
and chase mules,

fighting Indians and fought and rivers
fighting Indians

and climbing mountains
and fighting more Indians.

So I wake up in the morning
just about as tired

as was when I went to bed.

You've asked very few questions of me.

How much to transfigure?

I figure I'm not entitled to know
everything there is to know about you

any more than you're entitled to know
everything there is to know about me.

But I can't judge a man by now.

I better give up.

But still,
the chaff gets mixed in with the wheat.

Sure it does.

We just sift out the chaff, that's all.

But you don't know who I am,
where I came from.

That's your business. My friend.

And your problem. If it is a problem.

Thank you.

All. You're the man

Major Adams picked up yesterday,
aren't you?

Well, I'm Martha English,
and that's my husband, Garth.

And this is Garth Jr.

A fine looking boy.

He was born in that wagon
right out in the middle of Colorado.

Boy, he's a little fretful this evening.

There's a fever that sometimes comes
in these desert regions.

Fever?

He ain't got no fever.

Babies
get fretful in this kind of weather.

He is. Hot. God.

Feeling all right?

So he's hot. I'm hot.

We're all hot.

So hot. Part of the country.

Yes, it is the fever.

What do we do?

Well, grow in this region.

You boil, extract a portion.

Oh, herbs, potions.

Let me tell you something.

Nobody gives my baby
any of those Indian remedies.

My friend.

The Indian live sickness dies, and the
same remedies that cure him will cure us.

You're young,

and like so many young people,

very intolerant when you're older.

If you live to be older,

you will accept life from any hand
that can hold it out.

Well, who are you to preach to me?

Look at me.

I correct.

I have no right to preach to anyone.

I should have spoken to him that way.

God, he only wanted to help the baby.

There's something about him I don't like.

Did you see the look in his eyes just now?

God, don't you scare me?

Oh, he's not like us.

Does he have to be like us?

The good Lord
didn't mean for us all to be alive.

Well, there's something strange about him.

I don't trust him.

Cause, God,

he's not like us.

Come on, get up there.

Go out.

I'll do it.

Mrs. Anderson, you're wrong. Tired.

What they need.

Right now is a little help.

What are you doing?

Back to back I to give a little boost.

Help them get started.

Well, why didn't you say so?

You push and I am full.

Get in.

Come on down.

Come on.

Miss Anderson will take care of it.
Never mind.

I might give us a hand here

if I push the.

Driver,

I now get all.

Together. All together. You ready?

Hey, let's go.

Sir, I am God.

Well.

They ain't had a going over like that
since my son.

Oh, he said

such talk about them
food, meals every night.

They had to be taken care of
before he'd sat down for a minute.

We can't make them for that this more.

He used to say.

It didn't even get as far as the Rockies.

It was the cholera.

Sometimes when I'm awake,

I think I hear him
and I get up to see, Oh,

those are the worst moments

I know.

Darkness and emptiness.

No comfort to me.

I pray the Lord to be shown how to accept.

I pray the good Lord in His infinite mercy

to tell me why a broken down woman

and four broken down all mules around here
alone in the middle of the wilderness,

heading west.

How fortunate

you are to believe in the Lord
and His infinite mercy.

For what is there.

If you don't believe.

There is nothing.

You must learn

to pray for light in the darkness.

No light will come for me.

Yes, Mr.

Garrison.

First name is Elliott.

I call a few people by the first names Mr.

Garrison, and only after
I've known them a long time.

Well, now, Marilyn,

I feel I've known you very long time.

You've done well, haven't you?

Marilyn

married a fine gentleman

with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Nice to see how
well you've come up in the world.

Nice name,

Marilyn.

Much nicer than Lord.

I think every girl should be allowed
to pick her own name,

particularly
if the old one has become a little

unsavory.

You get out of here.

I was quite a photographer.

And in West Virginia, you know,

and I'll be glad to show you

a few samples of my work, Marilyn,
And I'll be glad to show your.

Husband to use.

I enjoy photographing beautiful women.

Marilyn.

Maybe.

Maybe you can pose for me again sometime.

We'll have a nice talk.

You know, nothing

can wait.

I'm an aunt. I'm not. Oh, no, Don't.

Stay out of this, Marilyn. No way.

Let me talk with you.

Don't understand
what goes after my wife. Show me.

Don't you? Don't be a fool, Handler.

I got no quarrel with you.

Get out of the way.

If you k*ll. This man,
you destroy yourself.

Please listen to him, Joe.

Please listen to it.

Step aside. If you value your life.

I put no value on my life.

If I put a value on your life
and I order you to consider it.

He made advances to my wife.

A crime not punishable by death.
Think, man.

See your whole life ahead of you.

Don't
throw it away in one moment of anger.

Give me the g*n.

Show He

either loves
his brother abiders in the light

but he that hate is
His brother is in darkness

Beloved, let us love one another

For every one that love us North God

behold what manner of love
the Father hath bestowed upon us.

That we should be called the Sons of God.

Oh, well,

all I see is

here.

What's the matter with me?

I just make

hot day.

Oh, now, Jamaica.

What happened?

Charlie had hot under his belt.

Let's get him into the wagon.

But, gee, if he'd only come to line up
to tell us what to do.

I have to try to break the fever.

We had some powder for the fever cane,
but the major gave all of the English just

for their baby.

Get some medicine.

He's not going to die, is he?

Not If I can help it.

I'm going out and gather some herbs.

Bill, ask Mrs. Anderson
to come down and sit for the major.

I'll send a write down.
I can see what the major.

No, no. You and Bill have double duty.

No. To the major sick.

Mr. Cain wasn't my fault.

I made you got sick,
Was I mean, my cooking didn't do it.

Of course not. But

I need to think I did it.

You ain't fixing to give me

that witch's brew to Major Adams, are you?

May help to break the fever.

Well, are you just going to stand by
and watch him m*rder Adams?

You watch your tongue Go.

I think I'll cut it out.

Now, just a minute.

You're a troublemaker.

You'll always have been a trouble maker.

If you any means of saving Major Adams
life.

No, of. Course you haven't.

But that stuff, he's coconuts,
Indian medicine.

Maybe Indians
know more about medicine than you.

Do you ever stop to think.

About what difference does it make,
what kind of medicine it is?

It saves his life because Indians
are savages no more than you are now.

All right, All right.

But supposing

that medicine doesn't work,
Suppose an Adams dies.

What happens to us, man? That's right.

We all die here.

My friends.

I've seen men before with this fever.

If nothing is done to help Major Adams
almost surely die.

Can you guarantee that medicine
will save his life?

No. No, of course I can't.

The only assurance I can give you
is that the medicine I have prepared

has saved the lives of other people
stricken in the same way.

We only got your word for that.

If you don't wish me to give this to Major
Adams,

you must k*ll me.

Well, none of you with me.

Come on, Garth, put that g*n away.

We have to do something.

You're right, Mrs. Hamilton.

We have to do something.

Even if we fail, we must try

not to drop him up.

We must get him to drink
quite a bit of this.

All right?

Gordon Blazes is going on here.

Is he going to be all right?

He was broken.

Hallelujah.

Well, how do you feel.

Today, Major?

I feel just great.

That's why I'm down, chopping down trees.

Just trying to be pleasant.

And I'll try the impossible
mustard gas and.

Take that infernal contraption
and get out. Of here.

You don't have to be unpleasant, Major.

Just because you're sick.

You get sick your way and I'll get sick.

Man, I can't get out of here.

And I've been looking all over for you.

I want to see you right away.

Was gi See when I tell you he's
going to blow himself into a relapse.

Come on.

Can we all Major?

What The tarnation took you so long?

I only been going 5 minutes.

You have been gone.



Well,

why don't you ask me how I feel?

I wouldn't dare.

You're a lot better today
than it was yesterday.

How would you know?

Because you're ordinary, that's why.

Get out of here.

Sit down. Can

I. Can?

How much longer

you going to keep me buried down here?

Well, you won't be able to be up
and around for at least a week.

Week.

It's the best you can do.

That's the best you can do.

And I'm going to tell you so

tomorrow morning, DAYBREAK.

We pull this wagon train
right out of here.

We'll make as many miles
as we can early in the morning

and the rest during the heat of the day.

You can't do that, Major.

You ought
to these people to take care of yourself.

I ought to these people
to get them out of this desert.

You're in no condition
to lead a wagon train,

and maybe I'll just let you lead it.

You're joking.

McCullough's crew over near
the side of the Desert

Hawks and Wooster can run this outfit.

If you'll give me a hand.

What makes you think I can?

I know you can.

I've seen you take a hold around here
a couple of times,

Major.

I once led a group of people
into the middle of an Indian ambush.

And that can happen to anybody.

I was born to a w*r upon his heart,
and I ignored that warning.

I led many people to their death.

This is your chance
to lead people back to life.

The past is gone. Done.

You can't change that. What really matters

is the present and the future.

What you're going to do from now on.

That's what counts.

You know, I can't refuse you.

I know you can't.

It's like it's

going to be another scorcher again.

Operation too hot for the major.

Well, I'll tell you something.

You'll make it plenty hot
for the both of us before this day's over.

f*cking tarnation.

You too. Doing your sick
man. What are they?

Get up the and the other one. Get behind.

See what I mean?

Joe, why don't you watch
where you're going, Major?

I can't see under the wagon.

Well, you can't see under your nose.

You're supposed to be sick.

I am sick,
and I'm getting sicker by the minute.

You're a worse driver than you are, Major.

That's the biggest thing you've ever tried
to be in your whole life.

Next year, I'm
going to get myself a new wagon master.

All right, all right,
all right, all right, all right.

But right now,
you better take care of your Got.

All right, All right.

Hey, how's the baby?

He's all right,
but we don't need any help from you.

I wonder if I.

Could tell you a minute.

Hello, Mrs.

Ambler.

It's about Mr.

Garrison.

Has he been bothering you again?

Oh, Mr.

Garrison knows
I've been here in jail once.

He worked

at the courthouse where I was sentenced.

I meant to tell my husband, but

somehow
it never seemed to be the right moment.

Now he has pictures You said he's going
to show to Joe if I don't give him money.

Pardon me, ma'am. Can.

Looks like we need it up ahead.

All right, Bill.

Well, don't give him any money.

Let me think it over.

I'll help you if I can.

What happened, Charlie?

I snapped a couple of old dead
flies to look at.

Why don't you wear your glasses
so you can see where you're going?

You'll get back in bed.

All right.

Anybody stay in bed with that chowder?

Head driving like you does,
or even a holy terror.

Today, I heard that.

Major Adams.

For the moment, you are my patient.

Now you get back in that bed
where you belong,

or you'll get up on that horse
and lead the train.

What's it going to be?

I'm not well enough to get on a horse yet.

You know. It.

I'll get you a couple.

Hold and some help.

Thanks for taking.

Hi, Bill.

She's very real.

Well, I mean, thanks a lot.

Get back to your wagons. Go up.

Hey, why don't you hop up?

You're driving me.

Charlie.

Have you forgotten that we played
a little two handed?

Decide who was going to drive it.

And this is the first time, I wonder.

Anyway, Bill,
this is more than one man to stand.

He's nervous. I'm nervous.

The horses are nervous.

That b*stard ready to drive, will you?

Oh, all right, I'll drive.

But just for a little while,
You understand?

Good, good

wagon. Oh,

How you doing?

Removing the whip and the scourge. Yes.

Bill.

Come on.

Can you stay out of that fight?

Let's can start to get the worst of it.

I do.

Not. I think I've had enough.

Don't.

May I trouble you

for the use of your firearms?

Some old things.

I have no use for

clay as well as the picture

standing.

What a small frame they really make.

How can I thank you?

Even if Garrison has the courage
to go to your husband,

it'll be his word against yours.

Thank you.

No cane.

Next time you go to throw. All right.

You'd better keep your left off.

He was able to get hurt sometime.

Fisticuffs are a little out of my line.

What?
That young man. Had it. Coming to him.

You care to ask any questions?

Why? No.

It's like I told you.

It's your business friend.

Let there be no strife.

I pray between me
and the what we'll be, brethren.

You know, Cain, sometimes

when I listen to you talk,
I could swear you were a minister.

I was a minister of the gospel
at one time.

I no longer have a flock

or a God.

I don't believe that

people

in Mr.

English here have got something
you'd like to ask you.

Well, I wouldn't blame you if,

but I know how you must feel.

Well, you wouldn't take
what's passed between us

out on a baby, would you,

Mr. Cain?

My baby's dying.

I'm afraid
it's too late to do anything. And,

well, if you could do something.

Entirely up to you can

you think there's anything you can do?

And you like to try it? You go ahead.

But if you don't,

Lord knows that nobody on this train

can blame you

for. Oh!

Oh. God.

Please,

Please.

In a little more than a while.

How soon will we know?

Tomorrow, maybe.

What kind of herbs are these?

Purely medicinal,

I assure you.

There's no witchcraft involved.

It's a combination the Indians have found
effective in breaking the fever.

Now there's nothing more to do but wait.

Mrs. English, why don't you go outside
with your husband and try to rest?

I'll call you if there's any change.

Thank you.

I'll bite with me.

First falls.

Eventide.

The darkness deepened

our father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth

as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

Forgive us

our trespasses as we forgive
those trespass instances.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the

lion, the king, power and glory for

good.

O Holy Father in heaven,

I thank you for the miracle of this night.

No, I don't think I've ever seen a father.

Looks like him.

We picked up his trail across the desert.

There were indications that he might
have gotten close to your train.

You say he k*lled a man, huh?

Yes. One of his own flock.

We found the body in the desert
with the r*fle beside it.

What makes you think this followed it?

We found Andrew
Hale's glasses beside the body.

Glasses lets people wear glasses.

Hale wore them all the time,
blind as a bat.

Without them,
he couldn't see without his glasses.

How do you figure?
He found his way anyplace?

Well, maybe just blind luck. Who knows?

I don't know.

Morse doesn't seem to me like you
got much of a case against this fellow.

But we'll know for sure
when we talk to him.

If we talk to him.

He looks like a big man. Really?

Yeah. He is always better in £200.

You've never heard him preach, Major.

Where would I ever hear him preach?

Oh, you might run into him
in your travels.

He was a real spell binder.

He's got quite a number of followers
leading them west,

looking for a place where
they might settle down like Brigham Young.

They're still waiting for him
to come back.

They haven't moved
since he left last year.

Never seen him.

Excuse me, Major.

All I can, Mr.

Garrison would like you to drop
by his wagon so you can do all I can.

This is Lieutenant Bailey and Lieutenant
Gregson.

Mr. Transfigure has been helping me
run the train.

While I was sick. Nice to meet you.

Thank you.

Pleasure.

Go ahead, Garrison.

I'll come right. Over to him.

He was going to spend the night.

Yes. If we may.

I expect you
be getting an early start in the morning.

No. Tomorrow, Sunday,
we're going to lay over for arrest.

You boys, make yourselves at home.
Some coffee in the father.

See you. Later.

Thank you.

Hey, what's on your mind now, Garrison?

I wouldn't take that tone, Major.

I may be about to do you a favor.

Get on with it.

I understand
the Army's looking for Andrew Hale. So.

Well, I took some pictures of Hale once,
and I think they may be of.

Interest to you. Army's
already got pictures of it. Yes, sir.

And look at these.

I'll look at this. I see.

Garrison,
you're a confounded troublemaker.

Well, to my eye, Major,
there's a very close resemblance here.

Your doctor up a thing like this
and get a man home.

A man has saved your life.

What kind of a snake in the grass are you?

You got it in for me, Major.

I know that you've had it in for me
from the very beginning.

You're no good.

And you're going to leave this train
at the very next settlement.

I'll sit down here, snatches to

those.

Those two army fellows I was talking to

said they were looking for a fellow named

Andrew Hale.

Showed me a picture.

Big fella.

Weighed over £200.

I told him
I'd never seen a fellow like that.

He let me pull out
first thing in the morning.

The long, hard day for me.

I think I'll turn in.

How about you?

No, I think I'd like to take a walk.

Cane,

I haven't had a chance to thank you

for what you did when I was sick.

Thanks,

Mr. Chance.

Future.

I've been walking, trying to decide
what to do.

I'm going to tell you.

You don't have to tell him.

Well,
if I don't, there'll always be a shadow.

Would you want to go through life
running from a lie?

Isn't it best to face it once and for all?

I have to tell him.

Even if I lose him, I have to tell him.

If you run from the truth
and a lie can seem to be true,

I've got to face it once
and for all and have done with it.

The darkness is past the true light.

No shine,

no lie as of the truth.

Little children let no man deceive you.

He that do with righteousness
is righteous.

The no

Oh oh, oh.

Why is.

And the Lord, said a mark upon

in what seems another lifetime,

but which was only a few short weeks.

I wrote it, the head of my flock,

leading them into the wilderness.

And I realize now that I was a man

possessed of sinful pride,

for I
was warned of the danger in the valley.

I said,

We are God's chosen people.

Follow me

and you will be saved.

My people followed.

Many of them died.

And as I looked upon the dying
and the dead,

I did not fall upon my knees and pray,

forgive my father,
my conceit, my arrogance.

I shouted to the heavens.

There is no God.

And I fled into the desert alone on foot,

unarmed, without food or drink,

and mocked me.

Well, that too, was arrogance,

for even then
I was attempting to impose my terms

upon the Almighty.

I was saying.

I, I am sure and I will die.

Because I no longer choose to live.

I was utterly alone,

pursuing death across the endless
empty surface of the world.

Sun rose like fire in the

east, seared across the sky
and burned out in the west.

Indians passed by at a distance,
did not see me.

Reptiles crawled past me.

And then

the cruelest moment

one of my people found me

and raised his g*n against me.

And in a moment of sudden madness.

I struggled to fend off that very death

I had so relentlessly sought.

In the struggle.

The r*fle discharged,

and the man I had loved

and taught and led lay at my feet.

I looked at his lifeless form
in the very depths

of bitterness and despair.

And so I wandered off

with the mark of Cain branded upon me,

and still God would grab me.

No release or let me die.
