05x34 - The Frank Carter Story

[bunniefuu]

Have you got any water

to spare for me and my horse?

Something wrong, man?

Help yourself, Jason.

Yo. Yo.

He's back.

And after five years,
it's like seeing a ghost.

What are you talking about, woman?

Take them.

Carter's back.

He's older,
but I recognize him right away.

I thought he was dead.

Maybe he heard what happened to his mom.

Anybody
do what he done, Don't care for his wall.

Might be changed.

He's mountains.

He's coming to the barn.

Going to stop him.

I got nothing to say to him. Blood.

Thanks for the water, man.

He's changed, all right.

He don't even remember our name.

Go on, WOMAN.

And I pay attention.

Well, it comes from the ground free.

We always give it that way.

And thanks again.

But he ain't no hurry.

I'll take the back trail to town
and get to the car to run.

Now you make sure you remember everything
that happens.

Yeah. Joe.

I don't.

Know.

I want you to map.

Here we are.

Two grown up people, and we have to.

I feel like this is.

Where it ain't going to be much longer.

You won't believe either of you.

What is the gospel?

What happened?

Jason's come back.

You're lying, Joe.

On any Frank Miller Million.

We both saw him.

He stopped by our place
not 15 minutes ago.

And he'll be here any minute.

You went right into town.

Town surprised me too.

Why should it? As rather saloons,
aren't they?

Are you sure it was, Jason?

Sure. As I'm standing here.

Well, what do you have to say?

Nothing.
He just thanked us for the water and left.

But it Give your mind a good news.

I'll take care of that.

I appreciate you coming here to tell me,
Casper.

It's alright, Frank. I'm glad to do it.

I'll see you later.

She'll be going into town.

I think.

Maybe.

What are you going to do, Frank?

I don't know, but I'm

not stepping aside to let him take over.

How can you stop him?

Well,

I'll know more about that
once I talk to him.

Talk to him? What about?

He's back now and he's the boss.

He can do anything he wants to.

And you can't stop. Me
when I take over this place.

What about our plans?

I want to get married
and I want to have a house.

And when you promised me.

Well, plans change a little.

Promises stay the same.

No, I'm not going to

live with a worthless tr*mp
and an empty headed woman.

I did that half my life,
and I'm not going to do it anymore.

Do you understand? I won't go easy on you.
You're going to. Wake her up.

And I don't want to know about Jason
just yet.

How a leader.

What difference does it make?

It could make a lot of difference
until I talk to Jason.

Now you go back to town
and you stay in your room.

And honey,

stay away from Jason.

I was through with Jason five years ago.

He was a mistake in my life,
and I don't want any more.

Don't worry about it.

Everything will be all right,

Frank.

Please

don't you be a mistake to please.

Well, I'm Jason.

That's the second time today somebody's
talking what we done in my office.

Now get down off that horse.
I don't know what this is all about.

You'll find out soon enough.

Get down off the horse

and inside.

Sorry, Tom.

I couldn't let you ask questions out there
on the street.

I made a g*n.

I don't blame you for being confused,

But you like seeing a man
come back to life.

You're just making it more confusing.

What's your name?

Duke Shannon.

Scout for a wagon train.

Oh, let's have some answers from you.

Sounding fantastic.

I look, Mr. Bowden, Cyrus Bowden.

There's a wagon train
with over 200 people on it,

just four days east of here
that needs supplies and equipment.

I haven't got forever to find a time.

I can handle it.
So let's quit talking in riddles.

Everyone out there thinks you're
Jason Carter.

I wrote a

Dead man

was k*lled in a border town
saloon brawl almost five years ago.

And those people think that I've come back
to haunt them.

Obviously, I'm the only one who knows that
Jason Carter is dead.

He had some papers
with my name and address on them.

You got $1,000 too stolen from the safe.

Of course, nobody can get back the money

if you haven't told anyone else.

Why are you telling me now?

Because of Mary Carter, his mother.

He loved Jason
more than anything else in the world.

When she heard what he'd done,
it was too much for her.

She tried so hard not to believe it.

But from that moment, her mind stopped.

What do you mean, stopped?

Just that Shannon.

She can't remember past
the night Jason left town five years ago.

She waits for him
to come back home any minute.

Doctor from the east told me

that if she were to realize Jason is dead,
the shock could k*ll her.

I don't want that to happen.

So I've kept the secret.

But I won't have to keep it anymore.

If you will help me. Me?

What can I do?

Pretend you're her son, Jason.

You want me to.

You must be kidding.

You can do it.

I knew it the minute
I saw you riding up that street.

I'm riding right out
now. No, wait a minute, Mr.

Shannon, please hear me out.

You've got the whole town fooled.

You're huskier, looking stronger.

But five years is a long time.

It's possible that even someone like
Jason could have changed

and can change so much
that his own mother doesn't recognize her.

And if that happened,
the shot could k*ll her.

But it could start
her thinking right again.

And then?

Well, then I'll tell her the truth
the way it should have been done before.

Slowly, Not by a bunch of cackling women.

I'll pay you, Mr.

Shannon, $100. 200.

There's no guarantee
this will cure the woman.

You don't strike me
as a man who looks for guarantees in life.

I'm not how I live.

My life is my decision.

But I don't think you
or I have the right to decide life

or death for Mary Connor.

I'm sorry, Mr.

Potter.

Everything that

you're right.

I aim to stay that way.

I came to this town to buy supplies,
not to be a target.

I knew someone was sh**ting at Jason.

It's time we get the word out.

Jason's dead because I'm not about ready
to join in here waiting.

Please, Mr.

Shannon, I don't understand the sh**ting.

I can't expect anybody
to jeopardize his life.

Just forget everything you said.

I don't want to hurt anybody.

But I don't see anything about Jason.

Let's get off the street.

I think you can ride out.

I'll find a reason for it.

Mary Carter must mean a lot to you.

I think

it's time.

Love Mary Carter.

Four more years than I can remember.

When Jason was a small boy,
his father died.

I thought Mary and I would marry.

But she had more faith in the land
and a struggling young lawyer.

So she married a farmer.

He also had a small son

in two years.

He had drunk himself to death.

What happened to the stepson?
Frank Carter?

And Mary raised him as her son,
but all her affection went to Jason.

Where's this right now? He runs the ranch.

Mary doesn't know it, but what little
they have, she can thank him for that.

If her son did come back,
Frank would stand to be pushed out again

when Frank's big and strong,
and he'd fight for what is his.

Sure, but not with a g*n.

Refuse the g*n for a lot less on a ranch.

Or as a lawyer,
I know that better than most people.

Duke, you're right.

This is not your problem.

Wouldn't everyone wonder
if her husband left town again?

Something like that would be expected of
Jason.

Here comes Frank. Now,

Guernsey.

No, It was my brother in the saloon.

When you're going through anything

special, Frank.

Frank, listen to me.

Step out of my way.

I look like you're seeing a ghost.

A ghost is what you've been for
five years.

I don't see any reason to change it.

I have something to say about that.

You had yesterday
when you stole that money and run away.

The first time in my life
I got things going my own way.

They're going to stay my way.

Jason's leaving, Frank.

He doesn't want any trouble.

You'll find plenty of it if he stays here.

And I'll travel all over this country
for the past five years.

I can handle a little at home.

Where you been all this time?

Present.

You surprised the interesting people

you meet in jail and go back to him.

His ain't your home. Not anymore.

You shot at me to make sure.

What are you talking about?

Somebody tried to sh**t him
awhile ago in the back.

I never needed a g*n to whip you before.

Don't try it.

I swore if you ever got back
here, I'd give you

the beating of your

friend inside.

Right, Robert?

I mean it.

He's a thief, but jailbird.

He made it more serious.
Thought of me. What?

Every inch of that land
belongs to Mary Carter.

She's the one who settled it, cleared it
and built that house on it.

Now you get back to the ranch. What for?

I've got things to talk over with Jason,
and I don't want a bunch of those cackling

females to get to her first.

You remember what happened
the last time they did it.

And don't you say anything either,

Please, Rick.

We have to stay.

Right.

Where have you been all this time?

And then President, where else
would you expect them to be given?

No trouble. Finding out

or whatever it.

Takes to have any friends,

bartenders and gamblers
when they had the money?

Duke Jason, remember,

I'm grateful.

Very grateful for change your mind,

Frank. So convince. I'm Jason.

Maybe Mary Carter could be.

I'm sure of it.

There's a lot you have to know.

Let's go to my office first.

There's Martha Chambers.

Frank's on his way to see you now.

Who is she?

She grew up here.

Frank and Jason both loved her.

She wanted to marry Jason,
but his mother stopped it.

He's keeping company with Frank now.

Maybe she
the reason he's acting the way he is.

Why do you say that?

When a man is

fighting as hard as Frank is,
there's usually a woman behind it.

You know, Cyrus, I've got to get on that
wagon train business

of course, the general store is right
across the street.

I think I'll get a bath in the shade
while I'm at it.

No, I don't think you ought to shave
before seeing Mary.

You look more like Jason. This way.

I'll be back in about an hour.

Duke,

are you sure you want to go out of this?

I'm sure

you better find a way out for me
now that I'm in

command.

Frank,

He doesn't look at all the way we
expected.

Brierley's been imprisoned.

Cyrus thinks that seeing him
might make them all well again.

And then everything is going to
be just like it was before.

And whether Moll

gets well or doesn't get well,
nothing's going to be like it was.

Right. Don't you understand?

I told him to leave town.

He, the prodigal son.

Everything belongs to him.

And even he's

just going to ride out of town
and leave it all because you told him to.

I'm sorry. You have to come.

You should have missed. Well, I'm not.

If I. Bye. Now. Who tried to do it all?

Whether I'm good.

With them,

you ought to thank them.

Cyrus and Jason think I did it.

If Jason been k*lled,
I could have been the one hung boy.

I never thought of that.

Did you tell him about us?

No, I didn't think it was his business.

Didn't he ask about me at all

now? Why, sure. Did.

Oh, Frank,
there's no reason to be jealous.

It's just. It's what he feels about me.

Could be very important to what were.

And he still might

blame me for everything that's happened.

Why should he blame you?

After he stole

the money, came to my room
and wanted me to run off with him,

And I told him that no,

I wouldn't run away with a thief.

And he said he stole the money from me
to get things I wanted.

Well, I told him to get out or I'd scream.

And so he ran.

That's why I left town soon after that.

Because if anybody had found out about it,
they to blame me for everything.

People love to think that about selling.

Well, if you take me instead of Jason
in the first place, you never got

near saloon.

I know that.

I know that now.

But never let me know how you felt before.

You always need to get a hold of you.

Well, not anymore.

No. 19

to see

if he still blames me

to do anything.

It can hurt us.

He tried to hurt you, k*ller.

Before

Frank is fighting.

I thought there'd be much more here.

There's a lot here. All right.

But that's not the kind of farm Mary kept
hoping it always would be.

Frank was the one who saw it
for what it really was.

Grazing land slow, but sure, he's
been building it into a good cattle ranch.

It hasn't been easy.

Carter must have had more than her
share of disappointment.

I can understand why you wanted
to take her away from all of it.

I wish she could have seen it.

She was a determined woman.

The farm was what she wanted.

Nobody could beat her.

Only when

Jason threw her love back into her face.

Was it Shakespeare
said the most unkindest cut of all.

He also said one who love not wisely,

but too well.

She awake, Frank?

She's in the kitchen.

Oh, Frank,

I think Jason ought to go it alone.

No, I want to see and hear it.

And you're not getting ahead of me
again. It's all right with me.

Well, it's
not all right with me as far as your mark.

And remember,
you just been gone overnight,

so why would Frank and I'd be with you?

Wouldn't be natural.

You remember how it used to be?

You coming back from town, apologizing,
feeling sick from all the whiskey?

That's the way it's got to be now,

Frank.

You need to run

me right now.

Don't wait for Jason to get back.

I am back, Ma.

All right.

I don't blame you for being mad, Ma.

I'm sorry. My.

Oh, no.

Come back

right?

I can't it Seymour out, man.

You lied to me.

Are you lying to me that.

We're not lying?

Please, Mary, it is.

Jason, Your Jason.

No excuse to told it stronger.

That's some politician just

cool.

Jason would never wear clothes like that.

Never like that.

I exchanged with somebody else. Mine.

We were drinking.

It was a sort of a joke.

Think,

Frank, why did you do this to me?

All right.

They're going to be all right.

You just need a little rest
and everything's going to be all right.

She had me scared,
but she's beginning to remember.

How do you know?

She asked me
if the sheriff was still after you.

I told her that was all. Pat,
explain tomorrow.

It's easier said, sir.

Let's go outside.

You my ears.

I'm no doctor,

but I know you can't tell her the truth
as long as she's so scared and confused.

I know

she didn't act anything
like I expected her to

look so easy. So.

So right when I saw you.

I don't know.

Jason wouldn't dress like this.
She said no.

And I should have let you shave, too.

That was a stupid mistake on my part

as close to her a*s
as the closet full of them.

And I'll get cleaned up and
right into town tonight, just like death.

Now is that it might be a good idea.

Except.

Except what
Martha Chambers would you see is Jason.

You'd have to see her. And if Frank
found out about it, he'd do anything.

No, Doc, I can't let you do that.

I'll be too long, Frank.

I'll be one to get into town.

You said I'd make a better maid or worse.

You asking or hope if she'd gotten better,
she wouldn't have come to me.

She the gardener.

You. You know, Doctor,
How do you know that?

She wanted to know
if the sheriff was still after me.

She remember that?

That's right.

I never thought I'd say this.

I hate you in it,
but have your being here is going to make.

Oh, well, again, I'll tolerate you.

But have you got any idea of picking up
where you left off

or whip you to your knees?

Come on, let's give me those clothes.

All right.

All of your life, they.

They made a fool out of you.

And then

I can make one out of all.

You don't want that for us, do you?

It won't be like that.

Yes, it will be like that. Out.

You know it will be.

Martha, I swear to you,
as soon as Mark gets better,

I mean,
we're going to have an understanding.

What happened to you

A few hours ago, You were like a mountain
lion, and now you're a mouse.

It's just that.

Well, I kind of feel different

about certain things, so.

You know.

It's kind of hard to

put it into words. Try.

Well,

when. Mom.

First saw Jason, she was.

He was scared of

Jason.

Yeah,

Cyrus was right there
when she came to me. She.

She asked me to

help her.

She. She squeezed me hard.

And you can believe

it's the

first
time she ever put her arms around me.

She puts her arms around you
and you melt like candle wax.

Don't you know why she did that?

She's afraid you run Jason off.

So just like that, she loved.

You know,

she did it because she needed me.

Frank, I need you.

I can squeeze died.

And so far,

I think she's a woman
fighting for a worthless son.

But I'm a woman fighting for my man
in my home,

and I don't think
I should share it with her as your wife.

It just isn't right that I should have.

All right.

All right.

But with Jason back,
I've got a bargain for just half of it.

To come back and get nothing.

He'll give you nothing.

It's more that you have not Jason's.

You earned all of it,

Jason.

We're here. You get all that.

But he you here,
You've got to understand that.

And I want to have that ranch more.

I've got to understand that.

All right, All right.

Anything you say.

I'm not

dressed for dinner.

I'm sorry.

Jason's
got his mind up to come into town. Huh?

He's got a lot to tell me,
and I don't want him doing it all looking.

Not well.

Then you better get back

and to.

There's a better way.

Like waking from a nightmare.

That's what it was. Maybe.

I guess I.

I'm going to help you forget from Mary.

Seeing him again.

Maybe remember

of them in talking at once.

I made it

some money from you.

They seem to like it here,

and I couldn't remember anything.

Nothing the
women said to me after that made sense.

Doctor,
say it was because of your love for Jason.

Wouldn't let you believe it.

That I'm sorry.

So you just made me forget.

You don't have anything to be guilty
about. Mary

Lassiter,

please.

I am pretty protected.

Well, little Frank would go

a muslim.

I need to get more involved. So.

No, Mary.

I heard he couldn't

write

that.

Mary, There.

There's something I ought to tell you.

Well, that is, Jason's changed

things.

There's no

dress going into town

for a drink. Campbell.

Come on. Tomorrow.

Sorry, old

two hasn't changed.

But I thought it was your love for Jason.

That.

That's why I thought.

Since

the government.

The trouble of writing

about this. Jason, I promise.

You're right, Mom.

I remember everything, Frank.

Well, I'm glad you're all right.

And now that Jason's back,
you're feeling a little better.

Their view of things.
We got to get settled.

Settle it tomorrow.

Your mother's in no condition with her.

I don't mean that.

We have to settle it tonight.

I just want my feelings
known before Jason gets any notions.

Where is Jason.

Going?

Into town already.

Why didn't you stop? Frank?

What is it? You want to settle?

Mary, listen.

All right? Can.

Well,

I know

you've never had it in your heart

to love me, but I work.

I work hard, and I figure
I got a right to have the ranch.

Now the Jason loses it in
some poker table.

Frank sobs.

Cyrus, I know he's your son, but after
what he's done, no son deserves it all.

I won't part with my half of it more.

I won't.

He's been my son to

now. It's too late, Larry. No.

Mary,

If Jason were not here,
everything would be all right.

You know, now I thank God he's come back.

But if anything had happened to it,
I'd be mad.

Blame

came back

because it had to be

her face, saith the Lord.

And my purpose should be known until they

call.

He bought me a bottle to give you this.

And that he has.

k*lled by name one few.

You know I've been away for so long
I don't even remember

where the old station is.

On the other side of town.

I remember me.

If I tell you so much.

I like seeing you for the first time.

You're the same. It's

different somehow.

In five years.

Oh, yes, it has.

Are you still angry with me?

You belong to Frank now.

I belong to you.

And I always have.

When you came in my room with that money,
I just got scared.

That's why I didn't run away with you.

Please, you've got to believe me.

Do I?

And then

when you're

your mother got sick,

I felt responsible. So

I left town.

Every damn time I worked in.

I kept looking for you
so I could try to beg your forgiveness.

That's why I had to see it.

And I can.

I could tell you.

After the way

we parted,
I think you'd ever want to see me again.

I She had every right to feel that way.

God, it was all my fault.

You leave Frank for me?

Yes, I will.

This time you won't have to see any money
because Frank has saved up


that much more from the bank.

So if you signed away any claim,
you have to the ranch give you $3,000

and I can meet you later somewhere.

Grant isn't worth $3,000.

Frank. It is.

And remember,

I can be very persuasive

that you are not.

Jason. What are you saying, Mother?

Jason never kissed me like that.

It's been five years.

I could take him 500 years
to learn to kiss like that.

Who are you?

Jason. Oh, you're lying.

Now, look, I know 15 year old kid.

I know men.

Now, where is Jason? Is he dead? No,

no, he's.

He's getting too selfish to die.

He sent you here?

Didn't make

our gunfighter I you.

Well, Mr.

Gunfighter, what are you supposed to do?

Get Frank into a fight
so you can k*ll him?

I suppose that was part of you.

Was willing to pay $3,000
to get rid of Jason.

Because there's any loving him.

But life

is a woman suffering guy

taking care of worthless men
like my father

and like Jason.

Frankly,

he means a fine home

and a Carrington and silks and satin

I got rid of.

Jason wants to get Frank,
and I'll do it again.

You got rid of Jason? Yes.

I made him steel, and I made him run.

And then his precious mother got sick,
and they had ruined everything.

Was Frank in on it?

He's not much better than Jason.

He told me we'd get all the ranch,
and now he wants me to settle for half.

That's not enough for you

know.

Not if I can get all my.

And we can get all of it.

If you would k*ll Frank and Jason.

The square of land mean that much to you.

It isn't just the land, it's
Mary Carter's land.

She told Jason
that I wasn't good enough for him.

But to her, you are Jason.

And I just want to see her face

when we walk in
and tell her that we're married.

Mr. Gunfighter.

What?

He said

you won't be sorry, Jason.

Oh, Frank.

She's not worth it.

Frank.

Frank, you found me.

You found me, Frank.

You tricked me and told me that you'd been
here and tried to force me to stop it.

Bother

Frank because he's a priest.

If you love me, tell him.

That I went looking for Jason.

You should have known
Pablo would sell us over a bottle.

How might Jason pay you to k*ll me?

Jason's dead.

You k*ll him.

And then for five years, I was gone.

I'll tell you all about it.

Right

at a stage.

Leaving tomorrow.

Be on.

Come in

with Frank in the other room.

I just came in to tell you I'm leaving my.

Thing

so soon?

I got business.

Where are you going? South America.

They got diamonds and gold there.

All you have to do
is pick them up off the ground.

Gold, diamonds.

Not everybody's made for ransom like me.

I hate it. I always have.

You got Frank and Cyrus.

You won't be lonely.

When I see you again before you leave.

I'm leaving now.

Well,

goodbye. My

good bye.

Sure. On.

I think it was a mistake
to tell the truth.

So Frank

is leaving for South America tonight.

In about six months,
I get a letter saying he died.

Feel safe.

Say his last words were for her

idea. Mr.

Hanna.

Frank,

you bring your wagon train to Clayton.

You get everything they need
at friendly prices.

They'll be here.

But I won't buy.
