03x35 - The Charlene Brenton Story

[bunniefuu]

Whoa!

Hey, look at that Bill.

I'll bet you the first drink at Jaycees.

I can beat them in a town.

Charlie, this is a supply wagon,
not a Roman chariot.

You know,
if you tried to raise that feller,

you'd probably jerk
the tongue about this out.

Listen, I take care of these wagons,
and they're ready to roll at all times.

Now. Wait a minute. Ben-Hur.

This isn't a coliseum.

It's a road in the town.

So now let's go the way we're supposed to.

Who is this? Ben-Hur.

Well, you wouldn't know about him.

He used to drive chariots
back in the Roman days.

You and your book learn it.

Yeah.

Get a doctor.

Come on. Get a doctor.

Your doctor.

Get a doctor.

Easy. Steady, man.

That's the judge.

And Joan. He's making the surgery.

What's about one of your passengers, even?
I think she's dead.

What do you. Mean?

There is this whole scandal back
at the Waystation.

Refused to ride further
with the disease. Women, they said.

But what could we do?

He'd peter fare just like the rest.

We figured
we had a duty to get her to a doctor.

We didn't make it anyway. She.

She's dead. 80.

What's the matter?

Plague.

Bubonic plague. Why?

You got to be mistaken, Casey.

Nobody ever heard of the plague
dispersed in the coast.

Maybe she brought it with them
from someplace else.

But I tell you, that poor woman in there,
God rest

her soul, died of bubonic plague.

Look, I know I've seen it too many times
on the waterfront in San Francisco,

and I'm getting her out of labor
for this cold chain.

It fit in place, too, right?

I'm going to do nothing of the kind,
bucko.

No, look,

isn't that

we don't have respect for the dead,
but we've got to think of the living, too.

You'll get that woman out of here
just as fast as you can.

We're not driving another foot with
the plague as close to us as the backseat.

Let go.

You'll drive to Perdition if you have to.

But you're not going to endanger the lives

of the people of this town
over the most part of me.

Own good customers. Now, up you get.

Come on.

I want you to keep on.

What are you trying to do?
Oh, you get as far as this goes, right?

Drive like the devil himself
was out there. I'll go.

I sure

hope he don't catch the plague
being so near to his passenger.

Well, he's been here,
too, for a long time, everybody.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised
if he didn't have it already.

Hey, Casey.

A bundled up man out of town so fast
you forgot the lady's luggage.

Well, I'm just thinking that it'll do her
just as much good

here as it would on the stage.

And why did you say Bill Nelson?

I didn't say nothing.

Well,
somebody says a safe preserve is my baby.

You know, I'll bet you what you're like.

That's the child of that poor
woman on the stagecoach.

Of course it is the poor.

Don't touch it. Don't touch it, Flo.

Why not? Because it's cast with plague.

Look, I would wipe out
hundreds of innocent people.

Oh, they. See. Oh.

Casey, it's just a little bit of a baby.

Why? It's no sicker than you and I are.

Oh, look in the dock.

I'll say the same thing
when it gets better. Huh?

What are we going to do with it
until it comes back, huh?

Yeah.
We'll just have to find somebody who.

Who can take you
and somebody who knows about babies.

No, no.

You can't ask anyone to do a thing
like that.

Casey's right, Flo.
We can't take a chance.

We got to get rid of it somehow.

Well, how do you get rid of a baby?

You put it on a horse
and have it right out of town.

So be sensible, will you?

I am being sensible.

And I'm the only one around here who is.

Look,
why don't we leave it over in the docks?

Office, huh? Oh, yeah, sure.

And it can cook its dinner on
Doc Stone, huh?

No, no, no. No, no, no, no. Not at all.

But look, it'll be safe there.

And since you don't seem to mind.

Well, you can feed it, huh?

Well, feed it. All right.

And it won't be in the way either.

It won't be in box office. Wait.

You don't mean to tell me that you're
going to put it in my saloon, do you?

I am in my own room
where it can't possibly harm

any of your courageous customers.

Oh, I imagine what you're doing, Flo.

Well, I'm asking what you're trying to do.

Some of you take this up to

go on. Oh.

This one.

Don't you see a lot of no furniture?
I'm sitting here.

Troy, you.

Hey, that's a good way to get your block
knocked off.

Yeah. Who's going to help you?

The same group that help me the last time.

Say they never heal up.

Certainly.

They're back in training inside, arguing
about who's going to supply the goat

for the barbecue at the Irish annual
outdoor picnic on the 4th of July.

Look, maybe.

Maybe you can stay over it, huh?

Well, we sure like to know
we're behind schedule.

Charlie and I just came in to pick up
some supplies.

Sure, Charlie. What do you mean?

You told me to tell me you got that
big whiskey, that little devil with you.

You run over clams. Come on.

Hey, Charlie, look what I found.

Casey, How are you?

Charlie, your son.

Take it easy. Take it easy. You,
of course, my breaking arm.

Oh, I wouldn't dream of that.
Do you know that I made more money?

I You the last day you were here
than I did all the days since.

Is that so?

Hey, now that I remember, you were the one
who started that fight last year.

Then you went over in a corner,

made a lot of bets with different

people, got a chair, sit down and watch us
do all the work.

Well, there's not going to be
any fighting this time.

Do you know that?

It took me three solid months

to replace that beautiful mirror
behind the back burner?

All right, now the first one is on me.
Come on. Wait a minute.

We've got to get those supplies for him.
I'll see you later, Case.

Oh, just one meal.

No, I don't think so. Oh, come on, please.

You know, ever since a major hit
his livestock on me, I've had enough.

Does it matter
that that's what I expect? That is.

All right, Charlie.

You go have just that one,
and I'll go in and see that Clem starts

filling the order, and then you come back
and help me load them one.

That's what I said.

Now, you keep your eyes on him, Casey,

because you know how he is
when he gets full.

Well, you know how he is.

I don't carry Jerry around here.

And I'm telling you, for the last time,
it's a god for me own herd.

You'll be find it on the barbecue spit

or there'll be no celebrating at all
for the Irish this 4th of July.

Here, Dad in the clear

will not be after eating any tougher goat
like you forced on us last year.

This year, we'll be feasting on a tender,
suckling young kid for me, you know.

Oh, that's true.

And will arrive at this conclusion
in a gentlemanly manner

like the gentleman that we are.

And he can be

out to have me first throw something at

Casey.
Your body looks better every year. You.

Oh, I'm glad.

How do you like that
new mirror shamrocks again?

Well, like I said, the first one on me.

Right? Right. Hey,

that Larry Brown, That does me an awful

lot of money.

Oh, what do you think you're doing?

Well, I promised Bill
I was only going to have one.

You know.

You sure know.

You wouldn't like a bucket

over and.

Boy, when I get my hands on that little.

Bird, that's one round. Apiece.

Ah, you. Always were the lucky one.

McClure throw.

We'll have to break the. Tie

and go on.

Get it. Go on. Oh, yes.

What was the most extraordinary thing
altogether?

Let's just have place
in the stagecoach on its way.

When we discovered. This little baby in.

Among the luggage that was left,
a little baby, a dirty little baby

to bed
that just exposed to the plague, though.

The plague?

Yes, the plague.

Well, that's bad. Bad bird.

It's terrible. Poor little down.

What are they going to do with it?
You know?

Do I know? Nobody in town wants it.

Maybe you could make it.

What do you mean, me?

Raise a baby with the plague,
You know, take a leave your senses, man.

But no, you don't.

Or don't think

nobody went

island.

Ireland has to be raised this slim.

Well, that settles it.

I, Patrick McClure.

Will k*ll the kid.

I heard what you said.

Indeed.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Say anything like that. Like what?

Don't try to lie to me.

I heard you say
you were going to k*ll the kid.

Well, that's right. I said it.

You really got to do it.

Well, naturally,
I the only man for the job.

Everybody knows that.

Well, if you do, you'll have to fight
your way through Johnny Wooster. Boy.

Oh, that first drink now.

Yeah, yeah.

No way, man. For the last 2 hours,
drink on.

Get away from this.

Well, get the job done.

It's just

suffice.
You want it the matter with you for

I know

it'll be known for you.

Could prove it to me.

Don't fight the same old Bill

for the.

Here you have the prettiest baby
I ever saw in my life.

Now, come on.

We're supposed to get to.

Oh, hi. This.

Would you ask Casey to keep it
quiet out there?

How do you expect me to get this baby
to sleep with all that noise?

Well, Mr.

Casey,

want you to go to the doctor's office

and see if you can find a medicine
for that place.

All right.

I'll be right back.

Honey, you still with this nice man
when you got here?

You take

the kids to pick you up.

You don't look like a baby to me.

And even if you won't like it,
can you imagine anybody k*lling a Cuban

kid like, you know, Sorry, I'm
a little Charlie Brown.

You get it here now, I going

on, by the way, hand up if you get

here.

We don't.

But I

it it

makes a difference.

I have changed a bit.

Have here a new customer came by.

Just like old times.

And I say m*rder the old again.

It breaks my nerves.

You always

talk about here.

Look,

look here.

You have

to. Go

there and

I'm telling.

You, be quiet now.

Yeah.

Don't go.

I told you I'm only going to work.

Just an excuse to you soon.

Come here.

And I think we deserve that picture. Huh?

Oh, I think you're afraid
it hasn't had a note yet.

Well, I think he will this time.

Casey,

You know.

About that dream now case.

It's a very good idea.

As a matter of fact,
I think I'll join you myself. But, God, I.

Oh, no.

What?

Oh, made me lovely, beautiful mirror.

Now, look what you've done.

What I did

was good to go.

Diamante. You.

Casey He didn't mean to do it.
It was a mistake.

Shut up. You're worse than he is.

You're the one that sent him in here
in the first place.

Look, all.
You have to do is send the bill.

The major. You know, I think.

He'll do the job.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey. The Hold your temper.

Holy crap.
What do you want me to kiss them, boy?

Do a shotgun. You like a candidate?

Yeah, sure I are.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, how'd you break it up?

Oh, but they broke it, and they ran off,
and they didn't pay me.

How could they?

You ran them out of here so fast.

Yeah. Yeah, I couldn't find out. Medicine.

You sent me over there to the doctor.

For what? Medicine?
Well, you did it again.

What did I do?

It wasn't easy to take you to town.

It ain't said.

Give me those lines. Yeah.

Yeah.

I got to be in there.

You got what?

I got a bad headache, Molly.

Yeah, You're worse now. And it made
you get through the night.

Campbell
The train now, without you, you survived.

So now there's a little
bit slowing down on your.

Oh, Oh.

My. Here
is for you to run on that team for.

You know, they.

Got a lot of miles to go yet today.

I told you to take it easy, Major Ben-Hur.

It's a lot.

Well,
we didn't want to hold you up, Major.

Then why did you hold me up?

Well, if Bill had been fighting all day.

Fighting? What do you mean, fighting?

Well,

he means I was fighting the word claim
about the price, the supplies we got on.

I suppose Clem gave you that black,
I thought.

Well, no.

Stupid here was driving
and we're going along.

He ran over a rock.

Last up here.
Hit me in the eye with his elbow.

And where were you all day? And a saloon?

No, sir.

Yes. Well, no, sir, I had one.

How many?

Well, two, maybe. That'll be the day.

All right, Bill, pull him in the line.

Charlie, you get back up in the lead.
Why you where you belong,

Bill?

I don't.

You drive at the beach for a while.

Look, he told you to drive.

You're his driver, aren't you? Yeah. No,
but I got this.

I got a headache, and I don't think
I could stand very ambivalent

about being late for the next three
or 4 hours. Well, it serve.

You're right.

If you had to.

Hey, how many drinks did you have anyway?

Well,

two. Charlie.

Pretty big ones. Yeah,
that's what I think.

Take them. I got.

Thanks.

Hey, Casey.

Casey, the baby's gone.

Casey, did you hear me?

Yes, I do.

And I'm thinking it's a good thing, too.

You had something to do with this,
didn't you?

I did not. Well, then who did?

Oh, how do I know?
Some of the townspeople, maybe.

Oh, Casey, what do you suppose
they could have done with it?

Oh, look, look, look.

The people around here aren't murderers,
you know?

Look, that baby's going to be.
She's perfectly safe.

It's my belief that the fellow

that was elected to do the job is trying
to get that baby back on the stagecoach

where it belongs in the first place and
where it'll be somebody else's problem.

Oh, I bet you they did it
while a fight was going on out here.

Hey, Casey, you send
me up for some medicine about that time.

But during the fighting,
a draft woman Well, I was busy in here

defending life and limb and me property.

Just as I thought it was that fellow from
the wagon train, the one with the beard.

He got me out of my room on purpose
so he could steal that baby.

Who Charlie used that He was good old man.

He got. Now,
what would he want with that baby for?

Well,
I don't know. But I know one thing, Casey.

That's
where that baby is on that wagon train.

What could splendid find them?

It's no concern of ours anymore,
as it shouldn't have been from the start.

Oh, look,
don't fret yourself about it, Flo.

Oh, I suppose you're right, Casey.

Of course I'm right. Though.

The best thing we could do is to pretend
that we never even heard of it.

Right.

Oh, there's a good girl.

In Sun

Casey.

Oh, oh, oh.

I had a some trouble already.

Oh, oh, oh,

baby, baby.

Oh, oh, oh.

You want to meet her to hear you
in? What do you do?

Don't
you make me take you right back to life

And no telling what
the morning people do to you.

I'll be quiet.

Will you please, please be brave to

hold all the.

Attention you can find out there.

Oh, oh,

oh, oh.

Now I see.

Remember how to did it

imagine

suddenly comes to me.

I think

that's it.

Well, I like it.

So do the job.

It better say,

you know, I don't know much about this,
but I will take a chance if you are.

Take.
That's what you're telling me myself.

How about just call you Johnny

for second thought?

I guess if you marry

a senior school district,

you'll see that.

Oh, oh, oh.

I always speak.

Oh, oh.

If you ever felt like being quiet,
now's the time to do it.

Shh, shh, shh. Music?

Yes. Thank you.

What incarnation do you think you're doing
on the new trail to California?

Where are the wagons? Well,
where do you think they are?

They're over there. Where they belong.

Why aren't you over there? Well, I was.

I was busy back there in the wagon,
and I didn't notice.

We're getting our lane.

Well,
how do you expect to notice where you are

if you're going to drive from the back
end of a wagon?

What's that flower doing?

All of you.
What are you doing? Baking a. Cake. Flour.

Oh, yeah, Flour.

That's it? Yeah,
that's what I said. Flower.

Yeah, right.

The flour upset back then.

I was back there
trying to straighten it up

and I didn't notice
we were getting off the trail.

Well,

do you think you can find

your way back to the train,
or shall I send a driver over to help you?

Oh, I can make it, I'm sure. Yeah.

You sure?

You all right now, Charlie? Sure.

I'll make it.

I'll make it now.

Well, then, hurry up,
because I want to make camp right away.

Yes, sir.

I'll be right there. No time at all.

Really nice.

I'm wasn't

sure what to call a bottle of milk.

Oh, it's been a long day.

Has Charlie.

Charlie,

or is that little cut short?

I have supper almost ready by now.
He hasn't even left the fair yet.

Oh. Started when?

He'll be long in a minute.

Oh, he's been acting kind of funny lately.

First time I ever knew him
to want to drive a supply wagon.

I just got a hunch.

I wonder if he's been nipping again.

Why do you say that?

You know, I noticed in my footlocker
there's a whiskey bottle missing.

It's funny
how you lose your taste for this stuff.

All of a sudden. His.

Oh, why? You know about it?

If it hadn't been for some of the same
stuff, you and I would have never met.

I guess
I was an old fool to do what I done,

but I just couldn't stand to see anybody
harm a little baby like you say.

Nothing wrong with you as sick as I am,
you know, you never will be.

If you stay with Mr.

Anthony.

I wouldn't even knew that was major.

Anyway, you and I were stuck together
for a few days.

That we have another town. Anyway.

And it must be a lot of folks in any town

that would like to have a nice little baby
like you.

We won't tell anybody about them, folks.

You. The parties have to be scared,
so no harm will come to you.

You know,
you just stick with Uncle Charlie.

I'll take care of it.

Would you worry about that?

Have I been

for speeding?

Hey, there's something missing.

Anything. Say.

How about the majors?

Gloves

or Mays?

Never missed one anyway.

Maybe sometime

I'll get one on our man on the train.

Hey, this is going to be all right.

You know, babe?

Yeah.

What do you think of this?

I the calculation work Here.

Take it

like it.

I do have a nice cold beer myself
that anything I hate,

it's hot meal cracking the gal.

In tear.

Gas. Major.

What was it? Okay.

Which
I guess I've been hearing all night. Hmm.

Tell him to shut up shop.

Do you say.

I just told him to shut up?

We all got that time.

Yeah, Yeah,
I know, I know. He just be quiet.

Go out and get to know Tommy.

I'll be right back
and change your record. I'd be back

with you

there

would.

Bill.

What are you doing at this?

Well, I woke up. You?

When I woke

up, I woke up
and saw your coffeepot steam.

I figured I'd pour myself a cup, so I did.

But you got a surprise, did you?

All know Charlie?

I always expect
to get hot milk out of a coffee pot.

Well, I woke up and I couldn't sleep. Joy.

Wonderful oatmeal.

Oh, very good. Very much sleep.

You know, Charlie, if I didn't know that
I was dreaming, I would say that

you have said at least a hundred times
how you hate milk.

Yeah, but I learned to like it hot.

Good for you.
You have a very good machine.

Well, here.

What is it?

It's hot milk.
You don't want to waste it, do you?

No, thanks. Thanks. Well,

crank it.

It gets cold.

Good stuff.

Metaphorically, by the way.

Well,
I want to tell you something, mister.

If you don't have coffee in that pot
in the morning, that man over there

will put you to sleep all day
with that on a chilly show.

Enjoy your nook.

The way you.

You know, I had my.

She had to pick up little baby.
I found you.

Bye bye dry.

I got to go.

Here we go.

We're going to have some nice milk, too.

Warm milk. Oh,

here has a say.

I think you can like your Uncle Charlie
a little bit, don't you?

And I begin to see why if I was getting
married, having babies like you.

But I guess just a way for an old girl
like me, You know, I was always so busy

trying to keep them getting whole day
with a woman I didn't want I was missing.

Well, now.

I know I'm dreaming this whole thing.
Bill.

Don't you people think you see? It's
what I'm about to tell you.

Sure you can't keep a secret like this
from the measure forever?

I'm not talking about forever.

Just for a few more days
when we get to Rockville.

What are you so afraid that he might do
if he does find out?

I don't know.

But I can't take a chance on him
making me take her back to a party flat.

And he might not believe that story
about them trying to k*ll her.

He might also say
that I had too much to drink.

Well, didn't you?

I don't make any difference
whether I did or I didn't.

I know what I know.

And he'd be read me off
all the way to California

for bringing a pleasant baby on the train.

Now, you know that.
Can't you just hear him?

Yeah, I have to admit that I can't. Well,
am I asking too much?

Just help me get her to a safe
place, then. Bill.

Charlie, I won't say anything,
but it sure isn't going to be easy.

What's so dang hard about you
keeping your big mouth shut for a change?

That's what you always tell me,
both of you.

Well, I was just thinking how much fun
I'd have revenue for the next ten years

for going
soft over sweet little thing like that.

Either. Well, it sure looks like it.

I'm just trying to save a human
being's life, that's all.

Well, babies are more human in.

Oh, now, Mr.

Casey says you are the one who forced
the driver to leave without my grandchild.

I'm holding you legally responsible
until I get him back.

Oh, down there, Mr. Brendan.

How was I to know that I was causing them
to abandon it on my own doorstep?

Ignorance of the law
is no excuse. Right, Matt?

Absolutely right, Mr. Brennan.

And I'm no man who makes idle threats.

Mr. Casey Right. Matt Absolutely right.

Mr. Brennan.

Mr. Brennan owns the bank in co*n Rapids.

He's very influential. That effect
now, huh?

Sure.

A two year old can see that

he can make it pretty tough on somebody
if his grandson isn't returned safely.

Really?

Well, now there's one thing he can't do.

And what might that be?

You can't make that baby your grandson
just by saying so because it's a girl.

Girl?

Well,

perhaps you're right.

I'm right.

You see, I didn't even know
my daughter had a child.

She was returning home
after the death of her husband.

I hadn't heard from her
since the day she ran off to get married.

I bet I know why she did that.

I'd advise you to hold your tongue, young

madam.

And I suggest, Mr.

Brennan,
that you'll follow your own advice.

Maybe you don't know it, but you owe
a debt of gratitude to this young lady

here For without her, who knows
what would have happened to that baby?

She risked her life to guard
and protect it.

Baby,
My angel, whose mommy died of the plague.

My daughter didn't have any plague.

Well, I beg to differ with you, sir.

I saw the poor woman with my own two eyes.

Are you a doctor, Mr. Casey?
Am I a doctor?

It's plain to see, Mr.

Brinton, that I'm a dispenser
of various types of refreshments.

Then I'll go by Doctor Scott's diagnosis.

She did not die of a contagious disease.

Oh, is that a fact now?

Yes. Now, if you'll be good enough
to tell me where my grandson

granddaughter is,

I don't know the exact truth.

It's our belief that the little Jordan is
on a wagon train heading for California.

Why Wagon train

California.

Wooster is a busy man,

cooks his vittles in a pan, picks
his toppers with his knife.

Will he ever find a wife?

Now, don't you cry, baby kins, Don't you?

Don't you whoop.

If you cry now, baby Chance,
I will bring you in

I, I don't You fight
that little one with double chin

If you cried out baby games,
I will kick you in sh*t

I would give you when it is
you do that, Charley.

What are you trying to do.

Luke? Every golden horse in the whole.

Outfit wants him out of here.
Don't you like my say?

I would like it. Even if that sweater was

Charlie Wooster is a busy man.

Gooks.

He has built in a pap chopper
with his knife.

Will he ever find a wife?

Casey, in.



Thanks for the loan, Major Adams.

Discharge it to Major Adams.

He'll take care of everything.

I know you boys go to town again, huh?

It looks like
I'll be making this trip for nothing.

But when you do make that next trip, do me
the favor of bypassing my place,

will you?

Will you stop this foolishness, Mr. Casey?

Now, tell the major
exactly what the culprit looked like.

Oh, I do better than that, Mr.

Benton. I'll name them for you.

It was none other than that old reprobate,
Charlie Wooster himself.

That's still the baby, Charlie.
That's right.

Now, I'd like a cup of coffee if he was.

Major Right over there.

Thanks again, Bill. Yeah.

Old stupid, huh?

Elbow sore.

You know, Bill, I've had a strange feeling
that something

happened back at Apache Flats
that you boys didn't tell me about.

Now, what is this about Wooster
stealing our baby?

Well, I had a little fight in Casey.
So. Fight, huh?

$50 worth.

Oh, he's a high Byner.

You know that
if we had to leave in a hurry,

and if Charlie had a baby
in our supply wagon, we left town.

I didn't know about it.

Oh, Hawkes,
if you're lying to me, so help me.

Sir. Truth, Major. Believe me.

All right, now.

All right,

Mr. Brennan.

Looks to me
like you're barking up the wrong tree.

May I point out my German?

Your train is still within

the jurisdiction of this law officer,
and I intend to prosecute to the fullest.

Now, Caputo deliberately
did this terrible thing.

Well, surely you must have heard
what Bill just said. Yes.

Perhaps he's telling the truth.
Perhaps he isn't.

So I intend to conduct a thorough
search of this train just to make sure

it's only fair to warn you, Major,
that legally

I can hold up this wagon train
until a thorough search is made.

You got to search warrants? Yes.

Well, no. Let me tell you something.

Just because you're wearing that badge,
that doesn't make you man enough

to hold up this train
for moving on schedule.

It's all happens.

And I'm a law abiding citizen, so
I'm going to let you to search this train.

But you better be through

with that search by 6:00 tomorrow morning,
because that's when we pull out.

And if you're in the way,
you get run over. Yes, sir.

Are you going to start
by searching my wagon right there?

Thank you, my dear.

Come up here.

Or is that old goat?

I don't know where he is.
I'll go find him.

You better find him and go darn quick.

I'm going to have to stay here
with these two buzzers.

See, nobody takes a shot at them.
Yes, sir. I'll get Mullett.

Well,

stealing babies.

Charlie,

I know

you can't move

anywhere. I'm

in Major.

One of these gentlemen here, Mr.

Brunson is looking for his infant
granddaughter.

It seems that someone stole the child
and he thinks it might beyond train.

I've tried to convince him otherwise, but
he insists on searching the whole outfit.

You mind if he takes a look
at your little brood here?

Ha ha. Ha ha.

I fail to see what's so funny
about it, ma'am.

Tell him, Major.

Well, it's like this, Mr. Brennan.

Grandma Mercer,
who raised 13 of her own children,

and now she's raising


I hardly think it's likely
that she'd feel somebody else's hands.

I see what you mean.

You mean all of those belong to just one
of your daughters every last one of them.

Count them.

If there's more than 13, you can have
what's left over.

One, two, three.

Don't be a fool. You already are.

I'm an act.

I. Where in the blazes have you been?

I've been having a baby and I've got a w*r
and nobody ever find you.

You're right in the middle of all that,
Mercer.

Kids, nothing's
going to happen to you. Charlie.

You're all wrong about this, man.

There's a baby's granddaddy,
and he wants her back.

There wasn't any plague
after all. I wasn't.

Oh, and you're in more trouble
than you've ever been in your life.

The old man's got the law out there
with him.

He swears he's going to have the man hung
that took his grandchild.

Matter of fact,
they're both in plenty of hot water.

Strictly speaking,
I didn't lie to the major,

but I did convincing that you didn't
having to do with it.

Thanks Bill.

I knew I could depend on you.

And it was real stupid of me to do that.

When he finds out
what a fool we made out of him,

man, we'd be better off
having that Brennan hang us.

Believe me.
What do you intend to do about it?

I'm going to take you to the Major,
and you can tell him whatever you want to.

But I don't want to have any more
to do with it.

I thought you would, my friend.

Charlie.

I'll think of something.

I've got it.

I'll make a deal with Brennan,
and he'll be so happy

to see that little grandchild he has.

You'll forget all about prosecuting
the person who took it,

especially
if that's the only way he can get back.

By gosh, that's what I'll do.

You mean I have to give him back?

Well, sure.

You have to give her back.

He's a blood relation.

He's got all the legal right
in the world to this baby.

Now, listen,

you go back down the major's wagon
and you wait until I come back

and don't you move. Do you understand?

Now I understand.

You got it

right.

Well, that's the truth.

Well, it's about time.

We left Apache Flats.

I didn't know anything about this,
and that's what I told you.

So I didn't lie to you.

Well, that'll do for a little.
One comes along.

You wait till I get my hands on that old
brand old galoot.

I'll listen, shall we go talk, man?

I'll talk to Brant myself. Now, darling.

Mr. Cobb.

Ram, it seems like there's been some kind
of a misunderstanding.

I think we can clear this whole thing
up very shortly.

We have word of the child.

Yes, I do.

You can have her back. On one condition.

A condition that is, if you don't have
the man arrested that took the child.

You can't protect
protecting a criminal, law abiding.

Well in the first place.
There's no criminal intent involved.

The man took the job because he thought he
was saving her life in the second place.

I'm not coming up for anybody.

This is the man's own proposition to you.

If you want that child back,
I would suggest that you forget

about getting even with him
and take things as they are.

I want my grandchild,
of course, Make no mistake about that.

So I have
no choice but to do what you suggest.

All right, Come on.

I'll show you where she is.

Nine, ten, 11, 12, 13.

Must be some mistake, Major.

No extra one here. Kind A trick is this?

I don't know,
but I'm sure going to find out.

I'll tell you that Major

Charlie's gone. He took a horse.

He's got a right to settles that.

Settle up.
Our horses will. Find him, Major.

If he wasn't a criminal before,
he certainly would be.

Now, when you say

that you were in a baby,

can we stop along just long enough
to get a little warm milk in your stomach?

Hey, nobody got to catch up with us,
and we're going to head north from here,

and I'm going to find us a little place
long before the milk of that all.

But it has a chance to turn

like that heck.

We're going to have to

call you back

the people

who milk the milk,
you may go buy by again.

I want to stay where you are.

I was very you're under arrest.

This is a sure I'm holding
you responsible for the safety of Mr.

Brenda's grandchild.
Hold it right where you are.

Don't come on in here. I'll sh**t.

And I mean it.

I care for that.

Don't
you know You're absolutely going to be all

right? You cut that out.

I'm gonna let.

You put down that g*n
to stop this foolishness.

I quit.

I ain't working for you anymore.

I'm leaving the wagon train.

What do you mean, you quit?

Have you lost?
What little sense I did have.

I said I quit.

Now you're going to wake me
and leave me alone

and take them vultures with
you before I start sh**ting.

There was something wrong with him.

I think he slipped the car.
I didn't think he'd go. This far.

But we're just wasting time when I shot
him. And.

Hold on, Mr. Brennan.

Some of these lovely get hurt.

Is something wrong with him?

Charlie, listen to me.

You can't keep Mr. Brennan's baby.

You've got to give him up, You understand?

Can you hear me?

I'm coming over there.

Don't do it, Major.

So help me. I'll sh**t you.

Charlie. I'm coming over there.

You feel you got to sh**t you?

Go ahead. Don't be a fool, Negga.
You'll get k*lled.

I don't think so till you here.

And make sure that our brave sheriff
doesn't get itchy fingers.

Charlie, I'm dropping my g*n belt now.

I just want to talk to you

for one.

Oh, hey, hey.

You. Johnny.

All right.

Go ahead.

Say it.

You know I'm a stupid old goat.

Should we hang a barrel?

I got into me.

I wouldn't blame you. Well,

sure spoke to me a year ago.

I couldn't get by with it.

He might have done it.

I. Please.

I don't know why.

I don't want

Fisk.

Sorry, Charlie.

Yeah, I guess. Almost.

You got to have something to love.

Somebody loves us.

My show.

I bet you're just like me.

But you never held a baby in your arms.

Oh, hold,

tiger, please.

Now, Jerry, you keep her.

You'll bring her back to Mr.

Brandy.

Back.

Back here and measure.

You hear that?

She call me Daddy.

Oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh.

Charlie,

I wonder if you could help me out
with a little problem.

Maybe you hold the baby for a second.

Okay,

Well, well, well.

You see, Charlie
never having heard from my daughter

about the baby and not finding a birth
certificate among her effects.

Well, I just don't have a name
for the little one.

And I thought maybe you'd like to help me
name it.

Well, I've been calling married.

I guess you wouldn't like that,

but I been thinking, Charlie,
if you have no objections, I'd.

I'd like to name her after you.

Me? Charlie?

That's a funny name for a girl in. Mm.

But we could call her
Charlene, couldn't we?

Charlie?

Hey, it's not a bad idea.

Charlie It's all settled in now

that your Uncle Charlie and I both name
you Charlie.

You hear that, Charlie?

You know, I think she likes it.

I think I'll take good care
of it, Charlie.

I promise you. I know you will.

And you're welcome to come by co*n Rapids
and see her anytime you around.

Thank you.

Yes. I
don't know much about babies, Charlie.

And I thought maybe you could give me
a couple of pointers before I leave.

Well, I'll tell you one thing for sure.

She'd all like a milk.

All You got to warm it up
for another thing.

When you change your little britches.

Always. It's a little pink rash again.

Now, I found it just old common flowers.

The best thing would work like this.

Claire's writer found out by accident.

When I first got to use the flour sack.

She was cured, by the way.

Oh, I can give you a list
about who got to know the nipple.

Don't you know?

She kind of cut into that?

Another thing. This is very important.

You know, when I used to feed her bottle,
she'd take the bottle.

All right?

And when she got through her face,
get rid of squished up.

I didn't want to have had it
on a little back.

You know, one day
she almost just called up on me. Liked it.

Hello there.
I've had it like that. She went

and started laughing.

I think that's important,
you know, make a baby laugh.

Would you like a 50? You know?
