05x01 - The Captain Dan Brady Story

[bunniefuu]

The ladies and gentlemen,

when John Great Cloud's father and I met

in that fateful famous combat,

a fateful reenactment
of what you've just seen.

And when that noble savage
lay dying at my feet, I promised him.

I promised him that I would raise his son

just as if he were my own son.

I rang up a couple of promise.

And to John, you certainly have, Captain.

But in all that time, almost 30 years,
John and I have just been itching to get

back to our beloved West, live the kind of
lives that have meaning for us.

And that's why friends,

this year, Joe, tonight

is the last performance of Captain

Dan Brady's Wild West tour. Now,

in just two days,
John and I are leaving for Joe,

where I'm going to sign on as chief scout
for a wagon train

and I'm going to lead them
to my Rocky Mountains.

And we ain't coming back.

We ain't never coming back.

But I want you to tell all of my friends
all over this wonderful country

that this song, Mountain Man's Heart,

is full, full for all our kindnesses.

And I want you to tell them

goodbye.

Goodbye,

Road band.

Judas Crest.

We just lost it.

I don't see what else could
stop us coming in.

The article went out here on a pretty long
road, as well as the Pacific.

This looks good to me, Mr. Han.

I think I can assure you
that the contract is yours.

Right here.

I'm planning

to use this contract as collateral
to pay for some extra supplies we need.

So you could tell the local merchants
the same thing you told me.

My pleasure, Mr. Hill. Thanks very much.

Don't you worry about the army supplies.

It'll be in good And.

You must be terrible out there.

The Indians and all.

Oh, it's not so. Bad, really.

Of course.

You never know if you're coming back.

That's when you miss the important.

Things you left behind.

Things like you. Really.

That's why every minute you're
in civilization, you try to live.

They try to hold on to every.

Fleeting glance of beauty.

You poor dear.

Only I can make it easier for you.

Well, maybe I can think of something.

And you want something,

Charlie.

Goodbye, Charlie.

Where you going?

I'm not going anyplace.

But you are glad Mr. held back.

He wants to see you right
away. It's very important.

More important than this.

We're having a big meeting.
He just came back in the army.

I'm sorry. Worried about business?

You know how that is.

But maybe I can see you.

Later,

You know, Fine.

On second thought,
I'm not very important to me,

so I think I'll just think about it for a
while. Charlie, what do you want to do?

Writing this lovely little thing at the.

At the trouble with women
nowadays, they fighting too easily.

Grasso's 25 extra wagons that you ordered.

What about?

Oh, folks usually furnish their own.

Some folks just can't get
that kind of money together.

Right of ours.

And where they'll have a wagon
and we don't have a fare profit.

Oh, I checked the generic survey office.

There's nothing. No, in the way of maps.

I would have to check the route tomorrow
than anything else.

Nope. Nope.

Oh, yeah. Great.

I almost forgot. On Friday.

Telegram thing for you.

Telegram? Yeah.

Decided to accompany

your wagon train
as far as Colorado territory.

Glad to serve as Chief Scout.

Find Captain Dan Brady.

You short says that that's what it says.

Anybody know anything about this?

What's the matter with you about it?

Don't tell me you don't know
Captain Dan Brady.

Why? He's
the greatest frontiersman that ever lived.

Had a Wild West, don't we?
Only Saint Louis. That's what went down.

We know all about that. Charlie, Who do.

You think sent that way?

Somebody's trying to pull my leg.

Belle, you and Duke

go out to those Illinois people
and check every piece of their equipment.

Charlie, I want to see
your little manifest for tomorrow morning.

You want to talk to me?

Landon?

I will be right here checking the route.

What you going out there?

Hey, you take that up at eight yards
and park it through the Senate.

Approved

a diversion at ground Brown.

They'll have your extra honest
on your rigging up in the rock.

I just staggered right over there.

I $800 in a day and I'm worried
it will take you over 20 $500, Mr.

Brown.

You'll get the rest
when I get mine from the Army line. Mr.

Hill. Oh.

Oh, no, Don't leave that wagon.

They're moving up. Me

up out west.

You plan to go? You're not ever
coming, right?

You'll find the West is great with Wagon
train. You got the devil.

But leave. Thank you.

My blood brother John.

Great
Cloud will answer most of your questions.

I will tell you that I will be Chief
Scout on Christopher Hill's train,

which I have chosen,
because that is the only train this year

which closes approximate the trails west,
which I favored myself



Hail.

John, He doesn't seem to be here.

I'll be going my way.

Which of you

gentlemen of the crest
has been chosen to go west with us?

He and I, Captain Kovak and leader.

Splendid. Blend it.

I think we can assure you boys
plenty of good coffee.

Why are you here?

In fact, Joe, look it up

and send the bill to Captain Dan Brady.

Just look at me, Bill.

Who is that?

I haven't.

Thank you, Bill.

I'm up.

Captain Dan Brady.

I always make a guardian.

Hey, sure.

The area who is in here?

You re asking about?

Well, I think it's more fun if I just.

Why don't you find out for yourself,

Cameron? Hey.

Yeah. Now.

Bill, play to keep on coming up here.

Now, what's going on down there?

Now, you. Would not stand in one for.

The gentleman.

Indeed, sir.

I'm looking for Christopher Hill
Wagon Master.

If my house.

I'm Dan Brady.

We know who you are. Captain Brady.

Yes, sir.

You. Vladimir said you got my wife.

I got a wire guide.

Got nice professional
looking out for that.

John. Jessica.

Chris, I don't mind telling you, I'm
just itching to get back into harness

or Captain Brady.

I think there's been
some misunderstanding.

I already have a Chief scout, Mr.

Flint McCullough.

Oh, of course. Of course, Mr. McCullough.

I'll get along just fine.

You don't understand, Captain.

I'm perfectly satisfied
with Mr. McCullough's work.

You mean you're turning down the chance
to sign on Rocky Mountain?

Dan, as your chief scout?

Mr. Hale,
he doesn't mean anything of the kind.

Frankly, Mr. Hale,
I don't understand your attitude.

Oh, it's very easy to understand.

I admire Captain Brady very much,
but this happens to be my wagon train.

Don't go getting all upset, Chris.

I admit I didn't give you much notice.

Didn't matter. Notice I have a scout.

I don't need to.

If you'd like to sign on as a passenger,
I'd be delighted to have you.

I'd be honored.

We all would.

Especially me.

Chris, I.
I'm determined to go back to my mount.

I can hardly go as a passenger, can.

I just wouldn't look right.

I'm staying at the Palace Hotel.

I'm sure you'll change your mind
if you think it over.

I doubt very much of
I'll change my mind, Captain.

But thanks just to say.

Come on, John.

Well, I'm ashamed of all of mean.

That's no way to treat a man like him.

Captain Dan Brady
is one of the greatest heroes of all time.

By the way, he k*lled Red Cloud.

We saved them proper life.

Oh, hey, Captain, Come back as one.

And I think you should have been a little
more polite, but I'm doing pretty good.

Charlie,
What are you so upset about, Charles?

I'm not upset, but I was fixing to get him
to write his name on my cookbook.

Now look at him. He's mad and gone.

It's funny. I

write.

He wrote to.

I don't know

why I think that.

I know he's got

a lot of

great clout.

I know I'm mad, Hank.

So they overland freight lines.

I got your message. You wanted to see me?

What about Chris?

Hey, I kind of took the play away
from your boss, didn't he?

If that's all you wanted,
I can give that play back to you.

If you want to go on that train,
I can fix it.

I'm listening

over here,
and I'll tell you what I have in mind.

John.

Maybe we shouldn't have come.

Of course we should.

I know how much this trip West
has meant to you for all these years.

I figured I owed it to you,

but it just isn't working out.

It will now. We can fix it now.

Hey, hold up.

You want me?

It says train

Captain Dan,

what if I told you that Hale
got in over his head financially?

He got a couple dozen
extra wagons made up for running?

What if I said he ran his cost up four
or $5,000 higher than he could handle?

I don't see where
that would make any difference.

He got an army freighting contract
for $5,000.

It's the only thing.

He's got to give him money enough
to be able to roll out All seems to be

the kind of man
who can take care of himself.

Captain Dan, you're
a close friend of the secretary of w*r.

If you were to sell him a wire and suggest

that Hale wasn't
the best man for the contract, John,

that's political favoritism.

You know how I feel about things
like that.

I'm surprised at you.

You listen to me, Captain. Darned.



You're the type of person they teach
their children to respect and admire.

All this man Hale is trying to make
you look like a fool.

You owe something to this country,
and it was something to you.

But to use my friendship
with the Secretary of w*r, it's

downright unmanly.

I couldn't do a thing like that.

Well, I've talked to reporters
into holding up their stories for a while,

but sooner or later,
they'll have to file them.

And they'll tell the whole country
that a small time wagon master refused.

Rocky Mountain Dan is a chief scout.

He'll laugh at you, Captain Dan,
I don't want to hear that.

I always had contempt
for a man who used influence to get what

his abilities couldn't.

Maybe you're right, John.

In the old days, all I had to worry about

the planes and the buffalo and the Indians

and the good Lord, Todd.

But it was simple and good.

People said it was a hero. Maybe it was.

Didn't seem so at the time.

But enough people believe you are hero
and look up to you.

An imitation.

I guess.

You can't live your own life anymore.

You have to live it for them.

That's a bad thing.

And John, it won't be easy for you, but

you've got to do it.

Morning, Mr.

Hale.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Murray.

Well, say it's a fine day, isn't it?

Well, you get a taste of that air.

I pass the Missouri, make this smell
like a political convention.

I can't tell you how thrilled Ed
and I are,

but it's like opening up
a whole new world.

So much better than the old with rain.

Much left to the old world,

we had to sell almost everything
we had to afford this trip.

Well, most folks think it's well worth it
to take care of that rear axle.

Here's Mr. Murray.

I think so, but I'd like to
have you take a look at it.

We'll be raring to go. Good.

If you're a nice looking young couple,
I think.

You know,
he reminds me of me when I was young.

You mean he has to Arms and two legs.

Charlie,

someday you're going to say something
nice to me and I'm going to drop dead.

Now, somebody here wants to talk to you,

pal. I'm afraid I've got bad news for you.

My department of the services is blind
and so forth.

It's not important.

I had his contract.

Number 3172, three, four.

Awarded this state to Denver, Missouri.
Freighting Company.

That's Mr. Haines here. I'm sorry.

You mean he's got the freight contract?

That's what the man means, Major,
You assured me that contract was mine.

Sorry, Mr.

Hale, I've got my orders not to show me
where the army supplies are stored.

I'll have my men transferred to Mr. Haines
vehicles.

How about these help you?

Oh, practically every merchant in town.

Better than $4,000. Important supplies.

You got any money?

You know, I was counting on that contract.

You can pay
with what you were counting on.

You might start loading up our goods.

How'd you do it, Haines?

Would you buy somebody bigger than you
did? Ale?

Better eat them words, mister.

You're going to feed them to me, Sonny,
Right now.

Well, wrap it up, huh?

That's enough.

You'll stay out of this.
You heard what he said.

You heard what I said.

Stay out of it.

We've got your contract.

Now get out of my sight.

You forgot this,

Mr. Hailer.


driving them wages to California.

What are they going to do now?

Not only that, Chris,
but we need those supplies

that we expect to get out of state.

Joe, don't you think I know that
maybe you can make a lot of the bank?

Mr. Hayward.

I've tried that before.

I got the army contract,

they turned me down.
Now you'll think of something

somehow, somewhere
I've got to get a hold of $5,000.

I might as well be 5 million.

I back the last.

The double banded tied one in credit.

John came here to help me see if they.

Right. Yeah.

I'm just thinking maybe I'll go out
and buy myself some denim.

Some honest to goodness.
Chuck Berry homespun.

No reason why a man should look
like a dude west of the Missouri.

Why wouldn't cabin
people think of you in a certain way?

Yeah.

I'm getting a little tired of the way
people think about me,

but to take the belt a little out, John,
and sit time.

You and me
did a little living for ourselves.

I'm getting a little soft.

Got a miss Molinsky.

You're the same man you always were.

I don't know.



Well, ordinary men, maybe,

but not for you.

John,

I'm glad you're with me.

I don't know what I'd do without you,

but my great ground.

Gavin Brady.

It's hail, Captain Dent.

Oh, Chris, welcome to my cab.

Good morning, Captain Brady.

My friends call me Dad.

Thank. No, no, thanks.

I think I'll go get some breakfast.

Don't go, John.

Not on my account.

Well, what can I do about your clothes?

Well, you mind if I sit down?

I kind of like
to take advantage of furniture all around.

Give me here.

I imagine there are

no more chairs in the West than they were
when I was doing your kind of job.

Well,

am well, darned.

I have been doing some pretty serious
thinking lately.

You know, this wagon train I've got
is the biggest one I've ever had so far.

As you know, the responsibilities
are pretty awesome thing.

Wagon Master has a lot of worries.

Yeah, they has.

I remember once back

in 30 5ai think it was day


Fur Company train in Oregon country.

Yes 36 I had to make a big decision
whether to go south and meet the Blackfoot

or whether to go up north and then counter
the Nez Perce and the snow.

And I remember reading about that
somewhere in the lucky thing,

I went up north because we had to k*ll
a few dozen persons.

But down south the Blackfeet was gathering
by the thousands

the very next fur train that went through

the lot,
slaughtered every last one around.

And that sort of thing is exactly
why I'm here.

I have to thinking things over.

I've come to the conclusion

what I need is a man of your experience
on that young Mr.

McCullough.
He seems like a very capable man.

Yes. Yes. No denying that.

But with so many people depending on me,
I can't afford to take chances.

What I'm really trying to say, Dan,

is that I'd be proud
if you would sign on as my chief scout.

Well, thank you, Chris.

Make me feel better.

And I know to be reassuring my immigrants.

I appreciate your confidence and my

whole world has confidence in you
that I had the position.

I suppose you think it's strange me
wanting

to go back
to my old hunting grounds at my age?

I never gave it much thought and

got everything back east. A man.

Good one more money
than I could spend in the rest of my life.

Two or three
presidents, three or four kings.

I can call them by their first name.

The digging out on Long Island.

You could lose
the whole Cherokee Nation in

my one thing I never forgot one thing
here, John.

Never.

Let me forget I'm a western a Chris,
same as you and him

and a lot of things. I miss.

I miss the smell of sagebrush

and the buffalo millions up until
you can't see the dirt under their feet.

You won't find a buffalo
like that anymore.

That's just the trouble, Chris.

I've got to find the old things before
they're all gone.

I want to feel the earth
kind of wave under my feet

when I get near the mountains.

I want to hear the crackle of leather
and the role of wagon wheels.

Get some homesick.

Chris.

I'm tired of being what I am.

I want to be what I used to be.

You're all the same.

And and just a little older, that's all.

Then it's all set.

We'll take the train out.

We'll get them through.

Oh, just one thing, Dan.

I was planning on pulling out next week.

I guess now it'll be a little later.
All ourselves.

Wow. It's nothing important.
Just a little thing.

Money matter.

I've got to swing a laundromat.

$5,000 on Blake.

That's no problem.

No train.

I was going to be delayed
because of a few dollars.

It was.

Sure, 5000 is enough, but not all it.

And I got to let you do that.

I'll get someplace.

And. Nonsense.

I'm investing in a going 595
max and Brady is connected.

Well, it's bound to make money from you,
put it that way.

I'm sure it'll make things simpler.

Well, I guess
I better be getting back to Camp John.

I'll be coming out there today.
Oh, no, no, no need of that.

Oh, we want to get out of here
and start getting used to living the way

men ought to live.

John So, Captain, I do worry
a lot of anger as I will get in your way.

Matter of fact, you may find
I can be a little help.

I'm sure you can
walk Roosevelt later. That

the trail

I got
cracked the new barrel with the bark.

Maybe a couple of shot
to make you feel better, huh?

Why aren't you out of camp?
You've got to get on your toes later.

Find yourself a new job.

Now, what I do

well, how the dawn is Any hope?

Oh, there's always hope

of rent.

I guess the best thing to do
is come right out and tell you something.

What?

I've just taken on
Dan Brady as Chief Scout.

Why did you do that?

Let's just say for selfish reasons,
good publicity.

You can believe that if you want,
but I don't have to.

I said I'm sorry.

You may be a lot sorrier
before you get to California.

Even if Brady has everything that he says
he is, and I'm not so sure of that.

A lot can happen in 30 years. I know.

I want you to stay on Franklin.

I wouldn't want to head west
without you riding out ahead of us.

Well, that's what you're paying him for.

Stay with us.

I'm going to need you.

Take it all off the Jack Murray specs.

Fine.

Hey, Bill.

Look, they're all in all there.

That amplifies the crowd.

By golly, he must have done it.

You must have raised the money.

Yeah, but were

you're to see them,
I thought I have to go out to Panama.

Land it.

How did you do it? It's great.

That's not important. What's up, Chris?

While
there's been a slight change in our setup,

I just signed on and Captain Dan
Brady is our chief scout.

How do you. That's great.

You'll give me a pencil.

I didn't write his name on my cookbook.

Why don't you shut up?

Isn't that kind of a strange move?

Chris, you're entitled. Your opinion.

What about Flint?

I asked him to stay on.

Well, I'll be surprised if he does.

You think this was the right thing to do?

I didn't think
it was the right thing to do.

I wouldn't have done it.

I better get the word out on schedule,

so we might as well get acquainted because
we're going to be together a long time.

My name's Dan Brady, Rick.

And everyone knows who you are.

Captain Dan, I have to do that.

Good luck.

You'll all be interested
in all that's happened.

Dan Brady here, Rocky
Mountain down, signed on to be the chief

scout of our great men.

I was a little worried about
making this trip until this very moment.

I'm not afraid any longer.

Don't you worry about nothing at all
that you'll be just as safe

as if you were home in your old bed.

We'll go, John and me where we can
jump, Tucker.

Well, make ourselves at home.

Well, I have a spare supply wagon there.

You can use the time being a wagon.

Well, I didn't that.

Although there is no doubt.

You just show us where
we can drop our travels.

And that'll be all for us now.

Yeah.

That dog gets out of the wagon
and that man's home is in the saddle, Mr.

Hale.

It's like it always used to be yourself
able to find out?

The ground's gotten a little hard
in 30 years, and that's all right.

I'll show you. By the way, sir,

I told you what that man is leaving.

That didn't he? Isn't careful, Charlie.

He might get a lot of cocoa burrs.

And that long, pretty gray hair is.

Isn't it wonderful, Mr. Hawk,

ma'am. Rocky Mountain down.

Looking at us.

I grew up reading about it. Me, too.

Charlie, you can't read.

Well, I got friends that came

to read.

Hey, Horse.

Good.

Yeah. Is this here? The hay wagon train?

It sure is. You figured on joining up?
We sure are.

Come all the way from West Virginia.

Five families have us raring to go.

They come to the right place.
We just signed on Rocky Mountain.

Dan Brady to help scout.

No. Yeah, well, I'll be darned.

Well, ain't that something?

Sure is. Some. I would think so, anyway.

Get out

from Ohio.

They're

kerosene lanterns now.

Yes, sir. Fine.

This money can buy

all right for the city, but the world
takes up too much room in the wagon.

Viju, I'd just rather these lanterns burn.

Grease would.
Plenty of grease would. In the west.

Grease would.

Yes, sir.
I remember a time I kept 300 chi.

I was off my neck,
burning 100 sticks of grease.

What looked like a whole army was there.

Well, I hate to waste the money,
but if you say so, Captain Dare travel.

Lt is the only way.

Nice action.

As fine as money.

Goodbye, Captain. Down.

I'm afraid you wasted your money.

No range.

No. Wait to the b*llet.

I to sh**t more than a thousand yards
this year.

Things either good for 200.

But Mr.

House said that I have businesses
running a wagon train.

Mr. Murray,

you take my word for it.

Get yourself a good old chopped,
single shot.

Best g*n ever made.

I never saw a branch
with so much bad advice.

They'll be all right.
Now that you're here.

It's a great responsibility.

Heavy load on my shoulders.

Oh, that's the color

meaning to talk to you, Boy,

I hope are no hard feelings.

None at all.

I'm sure you do a remarkable job.

I hope I do it as well as you did there.

Flint, you've made quite a reputation
for yourself on this job.

I'd like to make you a little proposition.

So I've got two or three shows
still running around the Eastern Europe.

And far as I'm concerned,
I'd close them like that.

But I like the people are working for me.

I kind of figure out something to them.
And your audience has gotten them

now since I

kind of beat you out for this job

on a trip,
they turn it into something big.

Boy, How'd you like to take over
one of my companies?

I'll give you top billing.

Captain Dan Brady presents

Clint McCullough out of that sound.

Sounds big.

They get the word points
on this. Thousands.

And it a fortune, fame, roar of the crowd
travel.

Mr. Brady, don't.

You think you're going overboard
a bit with this advice to the immigrants?

Come again?

Don't you think you ought to make inquiry
from somebody who knows before

you tell these people to throw away
their supplies and change their gear?

Well, I've forgotten all about
as much about that as anybody, son.

That's the way you figure.
I guess it's none of my business.

What about your offer?

Thanks very much.
But I've got sensitive areas.

I don't think that Miers
would take very well.

To the roar of the crowd.

Well, that wasn't very polite of him.

He's just a hothead.
And then I'll go talk to it.

Yeah, you do that, Tom.

I didn't mean to insult him.

What color?

Yeah, that's my name.

I have a message for you from Brady.

I don't keep the secret.

He doesn't want any more back talk.

From now on, when he talks,
you shut up and listen.

Keep out of his way
and do what he tells you to do.

He doesn't like smart young? No, at all.

He wouldn't have any words.

You'd like that of your own, would you?

I mean, you're not quite as old as he is.

You heard what he said.

Stay in line or get out.

Haven't checked
half a stop on that little manifest.

Now, you do that before you go to bed
tonight, wasn't it?

Yes, sir.

Sir, you.

Are you holding
firm on Brady as your chief scout?

That's right.

But you've got to change your mind.

You've got to get somebody else

to take care of him, because I don't want
to have anything to do with.

This is my train, Mr.

McCullough.

I give the orders.
I do the hiring, firing.

That's right, Mr. Hale. He stays.

He stays.

I quit.

Oh, yeah, man.

Great job.

That bounty of thing.

You'll get used to it again.

Oh, Chris,

cut the old bones in a weak moment.

Hey, I was all there last night.

That will get a lot
deeper before we're through.

Maybe I better sign your wagon.

Dan Oh, now

they're sleeping on the ground.
All right, but,

young fellows, But what kind of a man
do you think Captain Dan is?

Well, sometimes it's not the kind of man
that's important.

It's vintage.

Oh, I'll be all all right.

It's just a matter of time.

And I'd like to talk to you alone.

I never had any secrets from John.

I don't plan to start now.

All right, Watch yourself.

Clint
McCullough quit the train last night.

My shame.

I like that boy.

I suppose it's because of me
taking his job.

I suppose that's part of it,
to be only human.

But that's not the only reason.

Dan, Everything changes a lot in 30 years.

Even the frontier.

I don't think you're going to find it.

Like you remember
I told you how I felt about that?

Sure you did.

But you've been giving our immigrants
a lot of advice.

That might have been fine


today, get them k*lled.

You mean Captain
Dan doesn't know what he's talking about?

I didn't put it that way, did I?

It sounded like it to me.

Listen, Hail
Captain Dan is known all over this world.

Well, all over the world

and west of the Missouri
are two very thoroughly different places.

And leave the wagon train to me
and my people.

That's our business.

I didn't mean to be meddling. Your word.

If anyone's meddling, Hale is Mr.

Gray Cloud.

I don't know what your function is
with Captain Brady,

but you don't have any at all with me.

And you'll do as I say, cause

I'm sorry I brought it in by.

Morning.

You listen to him if you want to,
but you will.

Something
that the other people in this train,

they're looking up to you, Captain Dan,

they're counting on you for advice,
not hail.

Whoever heard of hail his train?

You read the papers? It's
not the hail train.

It's the Captain Dan Brady train.

That's the way
the whole world thinks of it.

If he'll just pushes you out of the way.

I never heard the whole world
laughing at once, Captain Dan,

but I'll bet
you it's not a pleasant sound.

So I'll plant Chris right now very quick.

See to that. I get rid of Brady.

This is my train, not McCullough.

If he wants to quit, I can't stop it.

Chris.

This train can't go west
with Brady as a scout, and we know it.

As long as we haven't got
it might have been all right.

Whether without the title of Chiefs Guard,
at least he could have written on ahead

and got the work done.

Mr. Hill, I wouldn't want to walk across
the street with old man Brady guiding me.

You've got to get sent back to train.

I thought you were an admirer of his,
Charlie.

Well, I like news, but I wouldn't want to
ride on a horse race. What?

We don't anybody on Mr.

Hill, but, well,
we all think the same way.

Better get rid of old man Brady.

You might not want to butt in,
but you're sure as blazes doing it.

Now, I'll tell you boys the same thing
I told Clint.

I give one orders I think are necessary.

You don't like them.

There are two things you can do.
You can either take them

and keep your mouth shut
or you can pack up and leave.

I'm not sure I like being treated

that way, seeing as I didn't do anything
to deserve it at or something going on.

We don't know that.

Don't give him no right to jump down
our throats, does it, Charlie?

I don't like this any better than you do.

At least
we can give him the benefit of the doubt.

I guess you're right, Bill. Well.

Oh, sure, sure.

I'll get you some coffee next.

Well, Mr.

Hale.

All right.

What do you think of her?

And she A beauty.

Oh, yeah, she is.

Nice hobby.

Collecting old g*ns.

I had a Revolutionary w*r musket
once myself.

Well, it's no hobby.

I sold my Winchester to get this.

You got, like Captain
Brady says you need range.

Got to get out there and pop more of it.
A thousand yards.

Isn't you? Wonderful, man.

Ever since
he told us to get rid of our salt,

meat and flour and our oil, and he's
had every so much room in our wagon.

You speaking of Captain Brady.

Did I and Mr.

have such an interest in our well-being?

What's the matter, Mr. Hale? Didn't
we do right.

You seen Captain Brady tonight?

Well, he and Mr.

Great Cloud
rode out to camp for dinner a while ago.

Golly,

I want wanted one of these
ever since I was a kid.

Captain Brady says it's the same model
he used as I expect it is.

Mr. Murray.

I'd appreciate it
if you wouldn't leave camp tonight.

If you get a chance, pass the word around.

I think I'm going to have
some important news for all

we have

with the little dam.

Yes, I see.

Captain Brady,

I have never gone back on my word
in my life before, but I'm going to now.

You're not going to be my chief scout

because there's not going to be
any waiting.

What?

That's my decision.

I've already spent your money.

I'll try and get it back.

What? I can't get back out.

Try and pay you later.

No, you're not.

Hey, $5,000 buys
a lot of sake, so calm down. God,

Hell, I think you owe me an explanation.

Do I really have to?

I could have seen that fire of yours
a mile away.

So good to see you.

Now, with most of the buffalo gone,
the Sharps r*fles

practically useless compared
to a Winchester repeater.

I'm sorry, Dan, you're too old.

Times have changed.

You've forgotten too much.

I simply can't afford to risk the lives
of the people

on my train
to make an old dream come true for me.

Dan Brady
is the greatest scout in the world.

What's the matter with you? Hail.
That's enough, John.

He has got a right to his own decisions,
even if we don't agree with him.

Well, that is my decision on disbanding
the train when I get back to Camp Hale.

We've worked on this thing for months.

We have a press wagon going with us.

The whole world is watching a train.

You think I'll let you throw it away
just like that?

Do you really hate him that much?

What did you say, Ale?

The man's my friend. He's no friend.

Only an enemy would go to so much trouble
to make sure you made a fool

out of yourself
in front of the whole world.

You're a liar, John.

Shut up.

Don't tell me to shut up, you.

He doesn't talk much like a friend.

Maybe you'd better explain yourself.

That's right. Rocky Mountain.

Dan, back off.

I'm not acting now.

You better watch yourself, young man.

Don't try to give me advice, white man.

You forget I'm a shoe.

The son of a w*r, Chief Hale.

You want to know why I hate this big bag?

Oh, boy. Don't say that.

Because for 30 years, he's been making
money out of my father's grave.

His famous single combat with Red Cloud.

I know all about it.

Rocky Mountain.

Ben, you weren't even the Sue. No.

You had a shotgun.

My father had a knife, and they came face
to face in the Prussian Dakota.

That was his noble combat.

A shotgun against the knife
and a good press agent.

Oh, no, John, you make it sound wrong.

Well, now I'll make it smell wrong.



As long enough to find out
all the way to know about anyone.

You white men, you'll believe anything
I tell you often enough.

The American Fur Company train
never existed.

The battle at Buffalo Springs.

They thought that one up at Saratoga.

Hi. Got to hear the crackle of leather
and the wood wagon wheels rolling.

John,

why didn't you tell me?

What do you want me?

I want what you took from my father
and my people.

I want those chairs back.

John.

Anything I've done to hurt you.

I'm sorry.

I'm a savage. Being sorry isn't enough.

I was going to show the world what a great
Frontier's when you really were.

You told the press
you were going to die while you were.

But before you die, you'll hear
the whole world laughing at you.

John, You've always been my son.

I am the son of Red Cloud.

And you jeopardize

the lives of 300 people on my train
just to make a fool out of him.

What took 300 white land dealers mean?

I mean, you're all going to die anyway.

The Sioux Nation would have seen it,

and 30 years of bootlegging
would have been made worthwhile.

That's up.

You'd better move Indian West.

I'll move,

but it won't do you any good.

And come on back.

Let me take you into town.

Get that shoulder thing

about that water to Washington.

Chris It's all in the past, Bill.

Forget it.

I'll raise it like my own son.

That's the way I always felt about him.

There's don't talk about that
now, Captain Dan, Everything

he said was true.

I guess that wasn't so bad, was

I'm no Jim Bridger.

A pretty good shot.

Good scout.

But I never really did anything
until I k*lled Red Cloud.

Just forget about it, Dan.

Well, that's all it was.

He just came around the train.

There was an Indian.

They looked at each other.

I don't know.

I remember firing.

It just sort of accidentally.

After that, everything was a lie.

Mr. Hale, those reporters downstairs,
somebody got to talk to him.

Yeah, So I just got to talk to him.
Tell him the truth.

Now you're in no shape to know
what the truth is, Dan.

The rest has got to tell him.

They got to know how you come to believe.

So people keep repeating
and repeating things to

you don't know what's real and what ain't.

I call them things I'm supposed to turn.

I've had dinner

and then I.

I just can't remember it.

I'm talking,

man. If I join in.

Think this.

I just hit the streets.

Right?

So Rocky Mountain Dan,
a hero, saved the life of Chris Hale.

And terrific comeback, proving
that time is no enemy of heroes.

The most famous frontiersman in the world
was hurt so bad, etc., etc..

I could go on, but it all sounds the same.

Even this part about him being hurt so bad
that he can't continue

as your chief scout

pretty easy. I want you.

You're not a bad old boy
because you're in a lot of trouble.

Well, the way I see it, not necessarily
the kind of man a hero, really.

A lot of people think you

be brave, noble, heroic on a strong.

And those are the qualities
that people admire the most folks

and always have their heroes.

But Dan Brady made a pretty good one
for 30 years.

So let's let them keep their hero.

You're good man now.

Well, I better get it down, boy.

No, I.

I really shouldn't.

I got to get up.

To the camp and help
the boys get the wagons lined up.

You'll be

moving out first thing in the morning.

Oh, sure.

Well,
the first thing, an hour, Clara went.

Yeah.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

I'll let Christopher I.

Pardon? Oh.

I had.

Right.

Moving out, burning up there

but I.

He will get mad

will be no kind of a train without you.

Find a bunch of men there.

Young
They'll get along Just about everybody.

Feel sorry for Mr. Hill.

I'll leave you behind.

Well, I wouldn't want to be an issue to.

Al is a fine man and a great wagon master.

He's got a great scout.

I think you talk like that ever, man.

Rocky Mountain.

Danny, I said maybe we'll go to California

when your army of you can scout
everybody like to go with you.

I tell you, I thought

West ain't the way it was,

but I.

Can I get board scouting out for an while?

Then?

People might not even see no Indians

they'd like.

It was when I was taking folks
through rough, rough country

that manner to keep on his toes,
that he wanted to live.

I recollect a time back in 41,

maybe it was 42.

Well, that was 42.

Him down the Blackfoot

point. Fact

I was scouting for the old Trans
Mountain book

all by. Myself.

And then I went in the wagon train

back.
