0:03:50 > 0:03:53Well, what did you do that for?

0:03:53 > 0:03:55I don't like anybody followin' me.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58I don't like to be hit,

0:04:06 > 0:04:09This time, it ain't gonna be so easy.

0:04:09 > 0:04:10Wait a minute. Hurt your ankle, didn't you?

0:04:10 > 0:04:13I ain't fightin' nobody with a hurt ankle.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14You're sure enough gonna fight me.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17I ain't waitin' around three or four days for it to get better.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Huh. Sounds mighty real.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42'they was real friends,

0:05:42 > 0:05:45'and the only fightin' they'd done was with others.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47'Jim sold his wagon,

0:24:50 > 0:24:51and listen good!

0:24:51 > 0:24:54I didn't tell you before because men get drunk

0:24:54 > 0:24:56and talk too much, like Labadie.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Not one.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26We are going to trade furs with the Blackfeet.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29It takes two, three months just to get there.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Maybe more, huh? But this time,

0:25:31 > 0:25:34we are not going to take the leavings of the company.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37This time we go past their forts,

0:25:37 > 0:25:39past their trading posts, where they do not dare to go.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41Why you don't tell us this when we sign on?

0:26:00 > 0:26:03Because we have the Indian girl.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05She is...er, Calloway, you tell.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Well, the girl's a Blackfoot,

0:26:07 > 0:26:09daughter of one of their chiefs.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12They're gonna be mighty thankful when we bring her back.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34only because we want to be the friends,

0:26:34 > 0:26:36the brothers of the Blackfeet, huh?

0:31:10 > 0:31:12What did you do?

0:31:12 > 0:31:15Nothin', but finally the coach threw a wheel and turned over,

0:31:15 > 0:31:16and I sure was glad

0:31:16 > 0:31:18cos she lit right on top of me.

0:31:18 > 0:31:19Well?

0:31:19 > 0:31:22Well, when I got my nose bent back

0:31:22 > 0:31:24and we got untangled,

0:31:24 > 0:31:27I, er... I got to see her face.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29Pretty?

0:31:29 > 0:31:30Pretty.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56They tell me curiosity killed a cat once.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58Couldn't wait, could you?

0:31:58 > 0:32:00Don't look too bad for an Indian.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02How'd she get lost from her people, Zeb?

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Crow war party catched her.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06Crows and Blackfeet hate each other.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08Pure luck she slipped away

0:32:08 > 0:32:09before they killed her.

0:32:09 > 0:32:11How'd Jourdonnais get her?

0:32:11 > 0:32:13He found her floatin' down the river

0:32:13 > 0:32:14in a canoe, half-dead

0:32:14 > 0:32:16way up past the platte,

0:32:16 > 0:32:17three or four years ago.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19That's when he got the idea for this trip.

0:32:19 > 0:32:23How do you talk to her if she don't speak our language?

0:32:23 > 0:32:26I talk hers. I been among them.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29This child's seen a heap of Indians

0:32:29 > 0:32:32and most of this country.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35She's big and wild...

0:32:35 > 0:32:37cold as hell, the seeds skedee,

0:32:37 > 0:32:41and the tetons standin' higher than the clouds.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44But by beaver, there's nothin' prettier

0:32:44 > 0:32:46than the upper Missouri.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48She's wild and pretty,

0:32:48 > 0:32:49like a virgin woman.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52But the prettiest part of it all

0:32:52 > 0:32:54belongs to her people -

0:32:54 > 0:32:56Blackfeet, proud Indians.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59Ain't gonna let no white men spoil their country.

0:32:59 > 0:33:01The only thing they're feared of

0:33:01 > 0:33:02is a white man's sickness.

0:33:02 > 0:33:03What's that?

0:33:03 > 0:33:05Grabs. White men don't see nothin' pretty

0:33:05 > 0:33:07unless'n they want to grab it.

0:33:07 > 0:33:09The more they grab, the more they want to grab.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12It's like a fever, and they can't get cured.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14The only thing for them to do is keep on grabbin'

0:33:14 > 0:33:16till everything belongs to white men

0:33:16 > 0:33:18and then start grabbin' from each other.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21They reckon Indians got no reason

0:33:21 > 0:33:23to love nothin' white,

0:33:23 > 0:33:25but by beaver, this child would rather be

0:33:25 > 0:33:29in that Blackfoot country than anywhere's else.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32Many's the times I dodged them,

0:33:32 > 0:33:34makin' cool camp, thinkin' my time was up,

0:33:34 > 0:33:36and all the time, livin' good, loose,

0:33:36 > 0:33:39and free as a badger in a good pond.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42Kind of like that country, don't you, Zeb?

0:33:42 > 0:33:43Yeah.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46< That's the country where my brother was killed, ain't it?

0:33:46 > 0:33:48That's right. That's where Ben were killed.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51He weren't much older than you are now.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53In fact, I weren't much older myself.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55I thought you'd have forgot.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57Why should I be forgettin'?

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Do you forget what this is?

0:33:59 > 0:34:00ZEB: Looks like a scalp.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02You give it to me.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04You said you took it off'n the Indian that killed my brother.

0:34:04 > 0:34:05That's right, I did.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07That's why you don't like Indians.

0:34:07 > 0:34:08Would you?

0:34:08 > 0:34:09Must have been the time

0:34:09 > 0:34:11I went back to tell your ma.

0:34:11 > 0:34:12That's right.

0:34:12 > 0:34:13It's been a long time, hoss.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15If I was you, I'd get rid of it.

0:34:15 > 0:34:16Why?

0:34:16 > 0:34:18You're always askin' questions. Just get rid of it.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26I wouldn't mix up in this if I was you, hoss.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38You all through?

0:34:54 > 0:34:56Whew. She's worse than a spit cat.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Lucky for you she didn't have a knife.

0:34:58 > 0:34:59She'd have stuck it clean to your gizzard.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01What for? Why'd she want to grab this?

0:35:01 > 0:35:02That's a Blackfoot scalp you got,

0:35:02 > 0:35:04and she knows it.

0:35:04 > 0:35:05Ain't you never thought

0:35:05 > 0:35:08why an Indian takes a scalp? Why?

0:35:08 > 0:35:09To shame an enemy.

0:35:09 > 0:35:10The way she figures,

0:35:10 > 0:35:12there's a Blackfoot brave somewheres

0:35:12 > 0:35:13that can't show his face in the hereafter

0:35:13 > 0:35:15till that thing is buried under the ground.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18You mean, you got to be buried whole? Sure.

0:35:18 > 0:35:19That's a right funny way to think.

0:35:19 > 0:35:20No reason a body can't think

0:35:20 > 0:35:22the way they want to, is there?

0:35:22 > 0:35:24Why don't you give it back to her?

0:35:24 > 0:35:26It's all right, hoss, but if I was you,

0:35:26 > 0:35:28from now on, I'd sleep with one eye open.

0:35:28 > 0:35:32Any good at one-eyed sleepin'?

0:35:32 > 0:35:34You get awful tired. Ha ha ha!

0:35:45 > 0:35:47ZEB: 'By September,

0:35:47 > 0:35:48'we was past the mouth of the platte,

0:35:48 > 0:35:50'a thousand miles upriver,

0:35:50 > 0:35:53'gettin' nigh on to the Fur Company territory.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56'Things was goin' good, too good,

0:35:56 > 0:35:57'cos it weren't natural for the company

0:35:57 > 0:35:59'to let us do what we was doin'

0:35:59 > 0:36:01'without tryin' to stop us.'

0:36:02 > 0:36:04HARMONICA PLAYS

0:36:10 > 0:36:12Where you go, Calloway?

0:36:12 > 0:36:14You mean, where have I been?

0:36:14 > 0:36:15Been lookin' around.

0:36:15 > 0:36:16Seen anything?

0:36:16 > 0:36:18Didn't see nothin', not even a trace.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20Bon.

0:36:20 > 0:36:21What's good about it? Stop scrapin' your face and listen to me.

0:36:21 > 0:36:22I'm listening.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24You Frenchmen are all alike, always prettyin' yourself up.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26What you worrying about?

0:36:26 > 0:36:27The Fur Company.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29I figure they're goin' to do something about us,

0:36:29 > 0:36:31and it's gettin' near time for them to do it if they're going to.

0:36:31 > 0:36:32What will they do?

0:36:32 > 0:36:35I don't know. If I did, I wouldn't be worryin' about it.

0:36:35 > 0:36:36What are we doing?

0:36:36 > 0:36:38Well, we can't do much. We could put out some guards.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41Bon. About three of them.

0:36:41 > 0:36:42Look, you get the men together,

0:36:42 > 0:36:44and I'll tell them what to do.

0:36:44 > 0:36:45Well, today, not tomorrow.

0:36:45 > 0:36:46Ca va, ca va!

0:36:46 > 0:36:49And tell them to bring some guns with them.

0:36:49 > 0:36:50Bon.

0:36:50 > 0:36:51Don't know what good they'd do.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54They couldn't hit a bull's hind end with a lodge pole.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56Say, what's the Fur Company liable to do?

0:36:56 > 0:36:59Try to keep us from goin' up the river.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01Romaine, you come with me.

0:37:01 > 0:37:02And you two, one of you

0:37:02 > 0:37:04go down the river a piece,

0:37:04 > 0:37:06and the other up a ways.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14This looks all right.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16Now, just set down and don't move around.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18Just stay in one place. Understand?

0:37:18 > 0:37:20Oui. Keep your eyes open.

0:37:20 > 0:37:21If you see anything, shoot.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Don't bother to aim

0:37:23 > 0:37:25because you probably couldn't hit nothin' nohow.

0:37:29 > 0:37:32MAN SINGS IN FRENCH

0:37:42 > 0:37:47That music kinda gets inside a man, don't it?

0:37:47 > 0:37:48Yeah.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50What's he singin'?

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Oh, it's a very old song, monsieur.

0:37:53 > 0:37:57He tells of a man who is lonely for his woman.

0:37:57 > 0:38:02When he dreams, he feels his lips on her lips.

0:38:02 > 0:38:06Mostly that he's... very lonely without her love.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09HE SINGS

0:38:19 > 0:38:22SINGING CONTINUES

0:38:27 > 0:38:29SINGING CONTINUES

0:40:07 > 0:40:08Whiskey.

0:40:08 > 0:40:09I reckon he wants a drink.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11Give him a drink, Frenchy, huh?

0:40:11 > 0:40:14Could be he'll talk, and we'll find out what's ahead.

0:40:14 > 0:40:15What is he?

0:40:15 > 0:40:18He's a Blackfoot, Poordevil Indian.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21You run onto them every once in a while -

0:40:21 > 0:40:23no gun, nigh bared rump,

0:40:23 > 0:40:25a little tetched in the head, too.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27FRENCHY: Hey, voila.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48What the...what was that all about?

0:40:48 > 0:40:50She said he's making a laughing stock of the Blackfeet,

0:40:50 > 0:40:52swillin' down liquor and such.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55He sure is ugly, but he tickles a man.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57What do we do with him?

0:40:57 > 0:40:59Couldn't get shut of him now.

0:40:59 > 0:41:00He knows who she be,

0:41:00 > 0:41:03and he'll stay with us till we get there.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09'Well, Poordevil talked, all right,

0:41:09 > 0:41:11'and now it weren't only the Fur Company to worry about,

0:41:11 > 0:41:13'but we knew Indians was up ahead.

0:41:13 > 0:41:18'We went on, the old Missouri gettin' rougher and rougher.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20'Polin' and rowin' was too slow,

0:41:20 > 0:41:23'and the only way to make time was by haulin' the boat.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26'The French call it Cordelle.'

0:42:35 > 0:42:36The water's mighty rough-lookin'.

0:42:36 > 0:42:38If the Frenchman had a fool hen's sense,

0:42:38 > 0:42:40he'd back up and wait for better water.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46HE SHOUTS ORDERS IN FRENCH

0:42:55 > 0:42:57Is he tryin' to tie up? That rope won't hold.

0:42:57 > 0:43:00Jourdonnais! Hey, Jourdonnais!

0:43:00 > 0:43:01Chicken-brained...

0:43:01 > 0:43:03He can't hear you with that water.

0:43:03 > 0:43:05Well, go and tell him then. You, too.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07Tell him not to tie up.

0:43:07 > 0:43:09Hey, Jourdonnais!

0:44:48 > 0:44:49How is she?

0:44:49 > 0:44:51All right. Just waterlogged. She'll be all right.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53What do you reckon we ought to do?

0:44:53 > 0:44:54Hurt your hand?

0:44:54 > 0:44:56Nah, just my finger. What do you...

0:44:56 > 0:44:59Hurt? Not yet. Still numb.

0:44:59 > 0:45:00Should we carry her back?

0:45:00 > 0:45:01She ain't no feather.

0:45:01 > 0:45:03Far as I can make out,

0:45:03 > 0:45:05she don't want nobody around.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08She'll get back by herself.

0:45:08 > 0:45:11Could be we better go. Could be.

0:45:11 > 0:45:12That shirt ain't much cover.

0:45:12 > 0:45:14SHE SPEAKS BLACKFOOT Huh?

0:45:33 > 0:45:35Hey, Uncle Zeb, come over here, will you?

0:45:35 > 0:45:37I may be your uncle. You don't have to tell everybody about it.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39I ain't as old as you make it sound.

0:45:39 > 0:45:40Have a look at Jim's finger.

0:45:40 > 0:45:42How's Teal Eye gettin' along?

0:45:42 > 0:45:44Still mad, talkin' a blue streak.

0:45:44 > 0:45:46Here. She sent this shirt. There's a message with it.

0:45:46 > 0:45:48What's the message?

0:45:48 > 0:45:49She says you're even now.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51You saved her life today,

0:45:51 > 0:45:54and she ain't killed you yet.

0:45:55 > 0:45:56How'd you do that?

0:45:56 > 0:45:58Tree in the river got it caught.

0:45:58 > 0:46:00Ain't no feelin' in it.

0:46:00 > 0:46:03Feel this? Hmm-mm.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14Well, you reckon that I...

0:46:14 > 0:46:15Yep.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18Frenchy, get a jug, a big 'un.

0:46:18 > 0:46:22Boone, you get a chunk of iron, stick it in the fire.

0:46:22 > 0:46:24Labadie, you got a sharpening stone, ain't you?

0:46:24 > 0:46:25Oui.

0:46:34 > 0:46:36ZEB: No sense in bein' in a hurry

0:46:36 > 0:46:38about cuttin' a body's finger off. Here, have another 'un.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41Whoa, hoss.

0:46:44 > 0:46:45Ha ha ha!

0:46:45 > 0:46:47Empty.

0:46:47 > 0:46:49Wouldn't be if you hadn't given me that last one.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51I can fix that quicker than you can skin a cat.

0:46:51 > 0:46:54Oh, no. You gonna have your finger cut off, too, Zeb?

0:46:54 > 0:46:55No, he said it.

0:46:55 > 0:46:57Poordevil, too?

0:46:57 > 0:46:58Well, you and Poordevil

0:46:58 > 0:47:00gonna have your finger cut off just cos I be?

0:47:00 > 0:47:01That don't make sense,

0:47:01 > 0:47:03all that fuss over one measly finger.

0:47:03 > 0:47:05What'n if I was gonna have two cut off?

0:47:05 > 0:47:08You mean you'd cut off two of your fingers, too?

0:47:08 > 0:47:10Oh, that's what I call a real friend, yes, sir.

0:47:10 > 0:47:12Hey, Boone, would you cut

0:47:12 > 0:47:13two of your fingers, off, too, huh?

0:47:13 > 0:47:15I reckon he's about ready.

0:47:15 > 0:47:17I tell you, a man's lucky to have friends like that.

0:47:17 > 0:47:18Maybe even cut off a hand, too.

0:47:18 > 0:47:20Yes, sir, I got some real friends, real friends.

0:47:20 > 0:47:22Bring that iron.

0:47:22 > 0:47:23Then again, I don't know.

0:47:23 > 0:47:25People always want to do what everybody else...

0:47:25 > 0:47:26Hold him, Romaine.
