02x30 - The Duke LeMay Story

[bunniefuu]

Oh, and Charlie, let me help you.

Well, thanks, man.

It's kind of tricky.

Yeah, well,
why don't you go and hit and team?

Let me finish loading for.

One thing I will

highlight Charlie as Wagon Master.

Oh, he's out trying to sh**t some turkey,
I think.

Oh, the deputy here
calls himself Brad Williams.

He's looking for the medic.

Don't do tap.

I knew they'd come for him
sooner or later.

I don't think you'll find that funny.

What's the trouble, Flint?

The strange. My trouble.

I've been tracking it for a week.

It's pretty rough country
for a man to be traveling alone.

What's your problem?

I don't mind telling you
the light on cotton or wagon trains.

An escaped convict. What?

Look, don't play innocent with me.

You've been hiding.

Duke LeMay for over a thousand miles.

Wait a minute.

Are you accusing us of breaking the law?

No. Yes, Bill.

I been trying to explain
to the deputy here.

There's no one named LeMay on the train.

But you can. First of all, you want to.

But I aim to search these

here wagons until I find it.

Let make

you drop it, McCullough.

The rest of the drama.

Will probably

dead.

They had. Got.

Dumb. Move.

Don't nobody try nothing.

You'll get that horse over here.

Come on and move.

You better do as he says. Wait a minute.

You better explain yourself.

Larson. LeMay.

Duke. LeMay.

Rational. A man.

Whatever you call yourself,
you respond to.

Put the g*n down. Sure.

You stand still.

Hold on, McCullough.

You plan on k*lling me, too?

I don't plan on.

k*lling anyone

Later.

Don't push me, McCullough.

I don't want to.

You think you're
just going to ride out of here?

I know I will.

How far do you think you're going to get?

Far enough.

Well,

you better
say that David has got some handcuffs.

Thanks, John.

Nothing to it.

You know, Charlie, I take back everything
I said about you and that bullwhip.

Now, maybe I'll get a little more respect
around here.

Hey, Fred.

Yeah?

Take a look at this.

What is it?

It's a warrant for the arrest of Duke
LeMay, Eliot Stanley

broke out of Illinois prison
three months ago

in Kansas City.

Was convicted of robbery.

This goes back to when he was a kid.

You did?

A man sized job with that g*n to his.

Yeah.

You better put those on
and I'll go find the major.

You know,

I just can't believe

that boy has been on this train
all these months.

There's never been one inch out of line.

And the
deputy was so quick to use his g*n.

I don't know.

This can't turn your back on that one.

That's sure here. Not on this. Record.

Well,
we can't keep him on the train either.

How far is the nearest lock for Hagen's

major out? Well, look at this.

You just keep your fingers off of that
bird.

I'll be there when he's cooked this time.

What I come to tell you about is LeMay.

Folks over there caused a lot of trouble.

What do you mean, trouble?

They're talking about ham.

That settles it.

How far is it. Before it happens?

Oh, it's a three day run.

That's good. Then you can. Be back with us
before we hit the high. Country.

No, not me.

I spent too much time with him.
I don't want any part of that plan.

He's going to have to be taken to the law,
and you're going to have to do it.

No, He's doing this us a thousand miles.

Does he seem like a m*rder*r to you?

Always seemed like a nice fellow to me.

Well, that doesn't make any difference
what we think about him personally.

This country is run by laws, not by men.

And this man's
got to be taken to the light.

So you let Hawks like that? Hawks
take him.

I need hawks to help me run this train.

But he's got to be taken to the law.
That's the wagon master's problem.

It sure is.

And I just saw
that you're going to take him.

I sign on to scout.

Have I ever done you any favors?

Right

here on your fleet.

I'm not going to envy you either.

If you don't.

Prepare that bird right now,
you start picking him.

You put him in a stew, I'll put you on it.

You're not about an object
now, Major. Me? Get out of here.

McCullough That man grew on me.

You saw it. The major saw it.
Everybody saw it.

I didn't even know it was there.

You know, he was a deputy.

No, I didn't.

I swear.

And I turn in, I'll have to write out
a statement for the authorities.

It'll have both sides.

Yeah,

I know.

The civil court
is going to give you a fair trial.

They'll.

But they ruined this one last time
I was through.

That was Rich Farmington.

Thanks.

He turns the rivers into a wilderness.

Water springs into dry ground,

a fruitful land.

And to in this.

Man drought are all old friends.

So cause trouble.

I myself in here and I would have been
around here in months only.

And we better fill a canteen

was probably dry, but

I guess it won't hurt to check.

Yeah,

you should have shot me.

I'll be sorry you did that for you.

Get the court, Hawkins.

The color. You're a fool.

I don't know.

You're the one that lost the horse.

Let's move.

All right.

Start walking.

I said start walking.

What?

Well, how do you expect me

to get to it. Huh?

Spoon, feed

and just a little out of my line.

Now. I thought I could trust you.

I'd turn you loose.

Trust me.

I'm tired of running.

I love me.

You got a bargain.

Just remember, you're free.

Only as long as you don't try to steal
freedom. How?

But all those years it was stolen from me

trying to tell me they put you in jail
just because your name is Duke.

Let me

almost.

Sometimes I feel that way.

How to manage a hungry?

I'm thirsty.

I guess I was born thirsty.

I get a funny thing

All day.

While we was on the.

Move,
I kept thinking back to when I was a kid.

Would color.

You ever have nightmares?

Oh, kids have nightmares.

I still have them.

But I don't suppose
you know what it's like.

For a 12 year
old kid to walk ten miles for a canteen

full of water?

I remember the whole world had dried up.

Not just our farm mind here
with the whole world

and everything in it had died.

Bit by bit, though.

Finally, there wasn't a green
growing thing left on this earth.

Everything seems worse when you're a kid.

Well, looking back now, sometimes.

It's so hard to separate
what was real from the dream.

Sometimes I can see it just as plain

my old man walking the land with his wits.

Instinct. You mean it was a thousand?

He was always sure that tomorrow would.

Change
that stinking dust into a green valley.

He should have moved.

You and you up.

But he lost in h*.

Chi Minh lot.

Cholera.

Just as we were getting ready to move,

a great epidemic swept through our valley

above the old man, one of his great well,

by that time Mom had it.

The stock was all dead.

So I took a g*n and I.

Stole a horse.

Before I got back to the farm.

The law was there,

so I shot a deputy then.

Did no good.

Mom was already dead.

I got away.

I going to run. And ever since.

I think the one said something
about being in prison.

I took an honest job once.

Or when nothing fancy clicking.

But it was a good time, good people.

And then I shot

Deputy, decided it was too good for me.

I got on Ray.

I'd have been all right, so. But

he found out about my past.

He got tough.

I got tougher.

How much time to give you?

The state of Illinois rewarded me

with three long years.

I still owe one two.

Do me a favor.

Tell me any time.

Like what?

Don't make me judge you.

Well, who's asking you to?

All I'm asking is a break.

I don't stand a chance.

Back at Fort Hawkins.

With my record. They're going to hang me.

Really?

Or not?

McCullough,

Don't take me back to her.

Don't, please.

I'm back in.

You made a bargain.

Well,

I'm now

Buffalo.

Oh, no. Rocky can't do this to Davey.

Sarah, there are some things
that have to be done.

We must not question the will of the Lord

here.

It's almost finished,

baby.

Wait a minute.

You just put on your rock our looks.

Can I see it first?

Sure,

Davey.

Something wrong?

Oh, no.

Only you know,
you're beginning to grow up.

You're practically a man now.

It's about time that you learn that.

Well, there are some problems in life
that can only be solved

in a way that might seem cruel.

What I'm trying to say is that

grown ups,
especially men, have to be very strong.

They have to learn

how to accept these things,
even though it might seem hard for them.

What things,

baby?

I know how much you love old rock.
We all do.

What about old rock?

Like your father.

David.

David.

Davey, come back.

You're going to k*ll.

All right.

Well, you are.

You go back to the house, boy.

I won't go back.

You're going to k*ll me, right?

Well, yes, I am.

I'm sorry, son.

There's nothing I want to do. Why?

He's an old, tired animal.

He hasn't got much time left.
No matter what. I do.

Why k*ll him?

Davey, look around you.

Look at our land.

Look what the drought has done to us.

As long as the good Lord sees
fit to withhold rain,

we must do everything to conserve
what little water we have left.

The good Lord doesn't mean to k*ll Rock.

Davy. The water. Every drop of water.

Old rock brings is that much less
for the healthier livestock.

Don't you see, son?

You deprive them of that chance
of living through all this.

What about him?

Does he deserve a kid?

The horse is useless. But he's mad.

In times like
these, only the strong deserve to survive.

It's the way of the world.

But dead baby
no more old rock must be destroyed.

I'm sorry.

You'll have no pain.

I can promise you that much.

I'll go on back to the house.

You can't k*ll a rock.

Please, Mr.

Go and do it. Please, baby.

We don't involve strangers
in our problems.

Baby, you must forgive my son.

I've tried to teach him not to beg.

But it seems to me you've

taught him how to fight
for what he believes.

That's even. More important.

Excuse me.

Here, boy.

You know nothing has changed.

We'll take care of it in the morning.

Well, that was a poor greeting.

I met you, Sinclair.

Boy is my son, David.

Glad to know you love my Duke Lumley.

How may I help you?

Oh, well, my horse flipped a shoe.

Come on in the shed bank.

Suppose you were wondering
what that was all about?

Oh, I got a pretty fair idea.

It's been an unusually long drought.

We're the last family in the whole area

to hold out,
and everybody else pulled up and left.

So I noticed.

Not much more water left in our system.

And when that goes, we go to.

So you can see it doesn't make much sense

to keep an old horse
who's all but lived out his life anyway,

because that's hard to avoid.

Davy is age, you understand?

It ain't easy.

To accept death at any age.

You find everything here you'll need.

I'll get Davy to help you.

All right.

You're the fisherman, Curly.

And the long time. Oh.

Oh. Being so close to Fort Hawkins,
I'd think you'd have lots of friends.

No, nothing to draw.

It got so bad.

It's all been me and All right.

Where's your ma, Davy?

She died when. I was born.

But we go up to her grave often.

Sure is beautiful.

Kind of like this place, don't you?

Oh, sure.

It's just about the best grand,
You know, territory One is water,

baby.

Yeah.

Oh, here.

This is my sister, Sarah.

I haven't done my chores.

Sarah, this is my pal Duke.

We should do chores.

Hello?

Hello.

Well.

I guess it's my fault
I kept you from doing his work.

Dave. He's pretty good at that.

And I thought he was a big help

and a mighty grateful to your fellow
for everything.

You're not going, are you?

Yeah.

As soon as I finish this,
I got to be on my way.

Why don't you ask him to stay for supper?

Well, go.

I ask him.

Davy, please don't worry, Duke.

He will.

That some boy.

A lonely boy.

Well, from the way he tells it, he
and that old horse have a pretty good time

together.

Oh, Brock does the best he can for him.

You will stay for supper?

Oh, no, ma'am. I'm afraid not.

A debut.

Be disappointed.

Well, I tell you what.

If you promise, let me break some of them.

I'll even help you with the dishes.

Monty and Duke.

Where everything was just fine.

Wait just a minute.

They're clean.

My not too.

Well.

I guess we better since. Oh.

Allow me, ma'am.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Priscilla. May,

The Lord's table is no place for a weapon.

I'll take it.

All right, David. Why,

thank you.

Our father.

We thank you for this food.

We thank you

for the blessings this day and
for the help that was bestowed upon us.

We receipts to our father
for an end to our hardships.

But if this is not to be,
we ask for strength and understanding

in the face of our adversity.

Amen.

Amen.

Welcome to our home.

Thank you, sir.

You've.

Oh, no, thanks.

I'm all through.

Yes, ma'am.

What is it you want?

And shouldn't be afraid. I want him.

Right.

You do this kind of thing real well.

McCullough.

You ought to wear a badge.

Explain yourself.

Is the man with all the answers.

Let him explain.

What they mean.

Look, what are we talking about?

It's all right, Mr.

Sinclair.

He's got a claim on me.

I don't understand.

Well, Mr.

McCullough is a scout for a wagon train
I've been traveling with.

I broke away from him this morning

at g*n.

A horse that his

go on?

Well, he was taking me to Fort Hawkins.

I guess I'm.

I'm what you might
call a fugitive from the law.

What he's trying to say is

that I'm taking him in
to stand trial for m*rder.

He's going to get me.

Thank you.

All right, McCullough.

Now you got your belly full.

If we're going to go, let's get moving.

I'll tell you when we're leaving.

You can't take him. Denied

a reason
why you can't pick up in the morning.

You're welcome to bed down in the barn.

Thanks. I am a little sore.

Sit down.

Don't get yourself worked up, McCullough.

Any objections
to my helping with the dishes?

But if you just tell me
what I can do to help you.

I don't need your help.

I mean, I'd be.

All you thought I was,
but being here ain't is my idea.

How could you do all those things?

Why did you lie.

When the only truth

a man has only once

he's got a lie

just so he can live with herself?

What about that man?

The man who died?

Well.

Whatever happens to me

is going to be twice as bad
after knowing you.

Why did you come here?

Why do you ever think about
singing a Well.

You never had any need to sing a
well before.

Up to the last few years,
we could always store

enough water in our system
to tide us over.

I say

times it almost seems
as if the Lord and for saving us.

Do you ever have a doubt?

Look over your place.

What them charlatans

are that men pretending to be
something that you're not.

Oh, I don't know, Davy.

I don't know what you might call them.

People with a gift.

Now they say that thousands can find water
despite holding a fork.

Stick in their
hands. That's what they say.

You ever see anyone do it?

Well, Mr. McCullough.

There are those who believe more than what
the eyes can see.

I take this farm.

What makes you think that there
mightn't be water underneath this place?

Plenty of water just waiting to be found.

If God had intended us to discover water
from above the ground,

He would have provided some simple
and natural means for doing so.

He did.

Mr. Sinclair

fell in the wilderness.

Shallow waters break out

and streams in the desert,

and the parted ground shall become a pool

and a thirsty land springs the water.

You're a doubter.

Davy. Mr. Lammers.

A lot of. Things, but he is.

You are a Dodger, are you?

You're doing fine, I suppose.

With the boy had a broken arm.
Then you'd be a bond doctor.

What he mean?

I mean, he's a charlatan.

But he spoke the words of the Lord.

He certainly did. But speaking them,
I don't think that's quite enough.

It's living by them. It can't.

A color, please.

You remember the last time you said
please to me.

You're not going to fool
these people as long as I'm around.

Can't you see what he's trying to do
is using you?

He'd pretend to be anything.

As long as it helped to k*ll me.

But what if he could find water for us?

Well, Davy,
I think that's what I'd call a miracle.

Run upstairs to bed, Davy.

But dead now

we're using blankets.

Thank.

Well, you finally got me locked
up, McCullough.

You ought to sleep real good.

I will.

You know, one thing
kind of interests me about you.

How is it you can quote the Bible so well?

My old man,

it was just like Sinclair.

It's kind of hard to believe.

I mean,
you think he'd done a better job with you?

You're
going to start preaching at me, too?

No, it's a little out of my line,

like spoon feeding,

but somebody's got to get to you.

You couldn't keep your bargain with me.

You got these people to believe in. You

feed them
a lot of nonsense about finding water,

get their hopes all up, and use the Bible
to back up your lies.

There's no excuse for it.

Best excuse in the world.

My neck.

McCullough.

Yeah,

you did? Sure.

I'm lying about the water.

I'm only sure about one thing, my man.

Next time I lock you up,
it'll be at Fort Harkin.

Or in the wilderness waters, breakout

and streams in the desert.

And the parched ground shall become a pool

and the thirsty land springs of water.

Here's your tea, Father.

Thank you.

That man.

He has a name.

More than one. From what we've been told,

it would be foolish
to believe a man like that.

He says what he must.

And that is not always the truth.

I know.

I'd rather you didn't see Mr.

LeMay in the morning.

Is that the way the Bible says
to treat a sinner,

or does it speak of forgiveness?

You care for him, too?

A young girl. Much too young.

Too young to feel affection.

You know nothing of such things.

And whose fault is that?

Here?

It's all I can bring tonight.

There's not very.

Much that

I know how I.

Sounded,
but didn't really mean all those things

he said he just worried
because the water was almost all gone.

He really didn't want to do it.

I know what

I was hoping.

Maybe Mr. Mania

helped, helped to perform.

Remember

that it could be back in two years.

The green grass could.

I bet you wouldn't mind what I say.

Don't give him a chance.

No one's ever going to hurt you, Rod.

No one. Hello.

Let him

like.

Thanks and good to hear the spirit.

You've been very kind.

You're ready.

The man.

Was Davy.

The voice upstairs. You won't come down.

McCullough.

Could we say goodbye to him? No.

Sorry.

The sooner we get out of here,
the better for everybody.

Let's go. Now.

I want him to stay.

I'm sorry, Davy.

I can't do that.

You know, you never want to aim a g*n
at a man unless you intend to use it.

Davy, give me the g*n.

Give it to me, Davy.

He's going to stay.

One thing.

Call.

It's a dousing rod.

When we're over water, it points downward.

We'll make the work.

I know.

Like people.

I guess

sometimes they do funny things

and there's no accounting for you.

Mr. McCullough.

Try to understand.

We've had to watch our crops dry up.

Everything we've worked for go to ruin.

Now, Davy

O'Rourke's not just a tired old horse.

To him, he's his friend.

All right,
So the only companion Davis ever had.

I understand all that.

I just think you've put your trust
in the wrong man.

Possibly.

But Davis got to have his chance,

and so do I.

Seems to me
you've covered every foot of this ground.

What's the matter, Matthew?

Losing your faith.

It could have made some spike.

There's fear, Davy.

If he could really find water,
you know, founded by now.

Let yourself go.

I swear.

Look,

we'll.

Here's where we dig.

Looks to me like you drag this out
as long as you could.

I was ready to quit.

A while ago.

You thought I was a sent.

Change your mind.

Those clouds and wind without rain.

So is he that boast of himself
of his gifts falsely.

Though You're dealt with.

We dig.

Why did you do that?

I just wanted you to see how the two work
together.

Very clever fellow.

The man that your father to believe in him
put the g*n in David's

hands and turns you against everything
you've ever been taught.

All in one day.

Why don't they get back?

What makes you think they're coming back?

I mean, it figures.

A 50 year old man, a 12 year old boy
and took the man.

Well, I know he's a criminal,
but he wouldn't hurt them.

Why not?

What does he have to lose?

Please help us.

How far now do you think we have to go?

Lustig says we're not.

How deep.

What is that? We'd
have to dig all the way.

To China in order to prove you a liar.

Mr.. You interest me.

You want water so bad you can taste it.

Yet you'd rather be right about me
than find it.

It's hard to believe any good could come
from somebody who's done what you've done.

Well, that a righteous man
like yourself could do wrong.

The law must judge you.

Not I.

And that's all you've been doing
since McCullough turned up here.

Well, Mr..
I've been judging you to morrow.

You ain't nothing
but a self-righteous hypocrite.

I've been getting that from all kinds of.

People all my life.

LeMay

Here.

McCullough, Take this liar out of here.

He's only been. Leading me on.

And you decide then.

What do you mean?

I mean,
he hasn't changed much this morning.

Wait a minute, McCall.
You know what he is.

You told us all yourself.

I told you to make a fool out of you.

And it seems to me that he has.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You were willing to walk out of your house
and have your daughter hold a g*n on me

so he could come out here and dig
for his water.

Now, wait a minute. Now you wait a minute.

As long as you thought you could get
what you wanted from a man,

you were willing to turn your back on,
Every principle you supposedly believe in,

including your family,

is right.

What he calls you, whatever he is,

you're a hypocrite.

Take this man and get out of here.

Both of you, Get off my land.

We intend to take.

Come on, let me.

McCullough, There's water here. I know it.

I'm on May, baby. No,

don't run it.

Run One.

Baby,

baby boy.

Not just Grace's shoulder.

Oh, thank God we went to Duke

Davy.

Untrue run right here.

Duke, can you forgive me?

There's someone else.

You must forgive me first.

An accident,

A miracle.

You look.

Miserable. Me?

I don't know how to thank you
for all you've done for us.

I think you've done more than
just give us a future here.

You've helped open my heart

by Goodbye, sir.

Goodbye.

Goodbye,

Davey boy.

I was afraid we weren't
going to be able to say goodbye.

We got a long walk
in it. Oh, no, You don't.

I came.

I don't want to be able to bring him back.

Maybe he'll bring you back.

Our friends.

Things happen.

I may well,

tell me

what to.
