'It all started in the year 1832,

0:02:150:02:17

'back in old Kentucky on the road to Louisville.

0:02:170:02:21

'Jim Deakins was just a-mindin' his own business

0:02:210:02:24

'when he seed something in the trees - seed it move.

0:02:240:02:27

'Couldn't tell whether it was man, bear, or what.

0:02:270:02:30

'And Jim were the curious sort.'

0:02:300:02:33

BIRD CALLS

0:03:020:03:04

'Jim knowed there weren't a man or bear there,

0:03:060:03:09

'or that bird wouldn't have stayed around.'

0:03:090:03:13

RATTLING

0:03:200:03:22

I sure am much obliged.

0:03:280:03:30

< I'd like my knife back.

0:03:300:03:32

Sure. >

0:03:320:03:34

Here you are.

0:03:410:03:43

Was that you whistling like a bird?

0:03:430:03:46

Well, what did you do that for?

0:03:500:03:53

I don't like anybody followin' me.

0:03:530:03:55

I don't like to be hit,

0:03:550:03:58

especially when I ain't lookin' for it.

0:03:580:04:01

Why, you...

0:04:020:04:04

This time, it ain't gonna be so easy.

0:04:060:04:09

Wait a minute. Hurt your ankle, didn't you?

0:04:090:04:10

I ain't fightin' nobody with a hurt ankle.

0:04:100:04:13

You're sure enough gonna fight me.

0:04:130:04:14

I ain't waitin' around three or four days for it to get better.

0:04:140:04:17

Well?

0:04:170:04:18

Where you goin' with that team and wagon?

0:04:180:04:20

Louisville. That ought to be about right.

0:04:200:04:23

Ankle ought to be better then.

0:04:230:04:24

Want to take me along?

0:04:240:04:26

I sure don't want to lose you.

0:04:260:04:28

You won't.

0:04:280:04:29

'And that's how the two of them met up.

0:04:310:04:34

'Jim said afterwards he never knew why

0:04:340:04:36

'he took the feller along,

0:04:360:04:37

'exceptin' he couldn't figure him out,

0:04:370:04:40

'and as I was saying, Jim were the curious sort.'

0:04:400:04:43

That was you a-whistlin' back there, wasn't it?

0:04:430:04:45

MAN IMITATES BIRD CALL

0:04:450:04:47

Huh. Sounds mighty real.

0:04:470:04:50

I reckon we might as well know each other.

0:04:500:04:53

My name's Jim Deakins.

0:04:530:04:55

Boone Cardell.

0:04:570:04:59

What you runnin' from, Boone?

0:04:590:05:01

Sheriff. How come?

0:05:010:05:04

A feller stole my rifle while I was asleep.

0:05:040:05:06

And the sheriff's looking for YOU?

0:05:060:05:08

When I caught up with the feller,

0:05:080:05:10

the sheriff was around.

0:05:100:05:11

He believed his story

0:05:110:05:13

and threw me in jail.

0:05:130:05:14

I got out.

0:05:140:05:16

See you got your rifle back, huh?

0:05:160:05:19

She's worth gettin'.

0:05:190:05:20

Ain't never seed that kind afore.

0:05:200:05:23

Second barrel works when you twist her around.

0:05:230:05:25

Comes in handy sometimes.

0:05:250:05:27

I ain't never needed but one myself.

0:05:270:05:30

'Well, by the time they got to Louisville,

0:05:380:05:41

'they was real friends,

0:05:410:05:42

'and the only fightin' they'd done was with others.

0:05:420:05:45

'Jim sold his wagon,

0:05:450:05:47

'and the two of them headed west on muleback.

0:05:470:05:51

'What with gettin' into a ruckus most every place they stopped,

0:05:510:05:53

'it took them two to three weeks to get there.

0:05:530:05:57

'Then they seen it -

0:05:570:05:59

'the old Missouri river shinin' in the moon

0:05:590:06:01

'and across it, the lights of St Louis.'

0:06:010:06:04

JIM: Holy catfish, she's a big town.

0:06:040:06:06

How many people you think, Boone?

0:06:060:06:08

10,000, 12,000, Uncle Zeb said.

0:06:080:06:10

What?

0:06:100:06:11

Yeah.

0:06:110:06:12

Can't figure why folks will do it,

0:06:130:06:15

unless they don't know any better, huh?

0:06:150:06:17

I don't hanker to live in no anthill.

0:06:170:06:20

Me neither. Come on, Mother.

0:06:200:06:23

MUSIC PLAYS

0:06:250:06:27

Look at them, like bees swarmin'.

0:06:350:06:38

Never seed so many folks

0:06:380:06:40

stompin' up and down a street.

0:06:400:06:42

Hey, Boone, you ever notice how city men walk?

0:06:420:06:44

Duck-footed, with their bellies stuck out.

0:06:440:06:46

Look at the women, squeezed up round the middle,

0:06:460:06:48

like a sack with a rope around it.

0:06:480:06:50

Ha ha ha! Where are we

0:06:500:06:52

gonna start looking for my Uncle Zeb?

0:06:520:06:54

Reckon we ought to sell our mules first.

0:06:540:06:56

Hey, looks like a place over there.

0:06:560:06:58

Yeah.

0:06:580:07:00

Come on, Mother.

0:07:000:07:01

25, 26, 27, 28. There you be.

0:07:010:07:06

Bought yourself a nice pair of mules, mister.

0:07:060:07:08

Could be.

0:07:080:07:09

You wouldn't know a body

0:07:090:07:10

by the name of Zeb Calloway, would you?

0:07:100:07:11

What's he do?

0:07:110:07:13

Trapper, hunter.

0:07:130:07:14

Shorty, do you know a hunter

0:07:140:07:15

named Zeb Calloway?

0:07:150:07:16

Sure enough. Ain't seen him around here

0:07:160:07:18

in six or eight months, though.

0:07:180:07:20

Might find him up on the Cheyenne,

0:07:200:07:22

the Platte, the Yellowstone,

0:07:220:07:23

anywhere betwixt here and Canada - big country.

0:07:230:07:26

A lot of it, no white man ever sees,

0:07:260:07:28

except maybe this Zeb Calloway.

0:07:280:07:29

I sure wouldn't

0:07:290:07:30

call him no white man.

0:07:300:07:32

He's half an Indian.

0:07:320:07:33

It just so happens he's my uncle.

0:07:330:07:35

He was only jokin', mister.

0:07:350:07:36

Don't sound to me like jokin'.

0:07:360:07:38

He didn't mean nothin'.

0:07:380:07:39

That's all right. I just wanted to hear him say it.

0:07:390:07:41

Sure, I didn't mean nothin'.

0:07:410:07:42

That's better.

0:07:420:07:44

If I were you fellas,

0:07:440:07:45

I'd ask Sam Egleston where to find him.

0:07:450:07:47

Where do we find Sam Egleston?

0:07:470:07:49

Fur company down the street,

0:07:490:07:51

right on the corner there.

0:07:510:07:52

Thanks, mister. Thanks a lot.

0:07:520:07:53

Got more money than I ever had afore,

0:08:000:08:02

but it's too heavy.

0:08:020:08:03

Here, you take half of it.

0:08:030:08:05

Get out of here!

0:08:050:08:07

Crazy Indian.

0:08:070:08:09

What did you do that for?

0:08:090:08:11

Just don't like Indians.

0:08:110:08:13

Look, Boone, before we go in,

0:08:130:08:14

I want you to promise you won't hit nobody

0:08:140:08:16

just because you don't like Indians

0:08:160:08:18

or because he don't like your uncle,

0:08:180:08:20

or maybe just because he's cross-eyed.

0:08:200:08:22

Just for the night. Promise?

0:08:220:08:23

All right.

0:08:230:08:25

Sam Egleston here?

0:08:340:08:35

Sure. Sam.

0:08:350:08:37

Yes?

0:08:370:08:38

Mr Egleston, I'm trying to locate Zeb Calloway.

0:08:380:08:39

Know where I can find him?

0:08:390:08:41

Zeb Calloway?

0:08:410:08:42

Yeah. Huh!

0:08:420:08:44

I asked you a question, Egleston.

0:08:440:08:45

Ain't had an answer yet. You know where he is?

0:08:450:08:47

I don't know where he is,

0:08:470:08:49

and I don't care a tinker's damn,

0:08:490:08:50

as long as he stays

0:08:500:08:51

off of Company territory,

0:08:510:08:53

him and his French and Indian friends.

0:08:530:08:54

Is that all you got to say?

0:08:540:08:56

No. If you find him, tell him he still owes

0:08:560:08:57

the company for two barrels of whiskey

0:08:570:08:59

that never got delivered

0:08:590:09:00

to our trading post at Fort Missouri.

0:09:000:09:01

Only two barrels, eh?

0:09:010:09:03

And you don't know where he is, huh?

0:09:030:09:04

No.

0:09:040:09:06

Well, I reckon there's nothing much to thank you for.

0:09:060:09:08

Come on, Boone.

0:09:080:09:09

Good. You remembered what you promised.

0:09:130:09:14

Oh, I don't know. Ain't only four of them.

0:09:140:09:16

You crazy? I bet every man in that place

0:09:160:09:18

works for the Fur Company.

0:09:180:09:20

One way to find out.

0:09:200:09:21

You know, we ain't doin' so good findin' my uncle.

0:09:210:09:23

Yeah. Might have to hang around here a spell.

0:09:230:09:26

Hey, er... why don't we have a drink

0:09:260:09:28

before we do any more askin', huh?

0:09:280:09:30

I got a dry, and this money's

0:09:300:09:31

burnin' a hole in my shirt.

0:09:310:09:33

Come on.

Well, we ain't gonna use up all your money

0:13:350:13:37

payin' for a fight which weren't our fault.

0:13:370:13:39

How come I always push my knuckle back

0:13:390:13:41

and you never hurt yours none? Uh! Thanks.

0:13:410:13:44

Well, heads or tails?

0:13:440:13:47

For what?

I'm tired. My neck hurts. Something must have fell on me.

0:13:500:13:53

Heads.

0:13:530:13:54

Don't put your foot in my face on your way up.

0:13:540:13:58

MAN: Aah!

0:13:580:14:00

­ What in the thunderin' alley

0:14:000:14:01

are you tryin' to do, hoss?

0:14:010:14:03

Ain't there no place in town

0:14:030:14:04

where a man can get a little peace and quiet?

0:14:040:14:06

If a body can't get any sleep here... Uncle Zeb!

0:14:060:14:09

What? Don't you know me?

0:14:090:14:11

Well, I'll be dogged.

0:14:110:14:14

Boone Cardell.

0:14:140:14:16

That's right. And my friend Jim Deakins.

0:14:160:14:18

Howdy, Uncle Zeb.

0:14:180:14:20

Howdy, hoss. What in the Sam Hill are you doin' here?

0:14:200:14:22

We come lookin' for you, Uncle Zeb.

0:14:220:14:24

I mean, how come you're in jail?

0:14:240:14:25

Dogged if it ain't a disgrace,

0:14:250:14:27

findin' your own kin in jail.

0:14:270:14:28

Oh, I don't mind.

0:14:280:14:29

You don't mind? Well, you ought to.

0:14:290:14:31

I don't want no help from the likes of you.

0:14:310:14:34

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

0:14:340:14:35

What would your ma say, me findin' you here?

0:14:350:14:37

What about you?

0:14:370:14:38

Don't try to back out of it.

0:14:380:14:39

Well, you're here, ain't you?

0:14:390:14:40

Just plain providence, I reckon.

0:14:400:14:41

Where else would I have found you?

0:14:410:14:43

Well, what you doin' in jail?

0:14:430:14:43

You're just like your pappy. You talk too much.

0:14:430:14:45

I told my sister when she married him,

0:14:450:14:46

"You're gettin' mixed up with a bunch of jailbirds."

0:14:460:14:48

You keep him out of this.

0:14:480:14:49

Sic him, Boone.

0:14:490:14:50

He don't think no more of you than you do of him.

0:14:500:14:52

He says you're nothin' but a drunk.

0:14:520:14:54

He's not only a jailbird, he's a liar.

0:14:540:14:55

Well, the measly son of a shope...

0:14:550:14:58

Ha ha ha! Look what I shook out of his fist.

0:15:000:15:03

You ain't forgot what I learned you, hoss,

0:15:030:15:05

but you're slower than scat.

0:15:050:15:07

He's holding a bullet pouch.

0:15:070:15:08

Yeah, same as I had in mine.

0:15:080:15:10

That's how you hit so hard, huh?

0:15:100:15:12

ZEB: Won't bust your knuckles, neither.

0:15:120:15:14

I'll be doggone.

0:15:140:15:15

I don't reckon neither one of you fellas

0:15:150:15:17

would have a little drink?

0:15:170:15:18

No, you wouldn't have nothin' to drink.

0:15:180:15:20

Tell me what you're doin' in here.

0:15:200:15:22

We got in a fight with a man.

0:15:220:15:23

He said you was nothin' but a drunk.

0:15:230:15:25

It ain't nothin' much to fight about.

0:15:250:15:27

I would like to know what his name was.

0:15:270:15:29

Fella by the name of Egleston.

0:15:290:15:31

You let that polecat lick you?

0:15:310:15:32

Weren't only him.

0:15:320:15:34

Seems like the whole Fur Company fell on us, I guess.

0:15:340:15:36

They don't like you.

0:15:360:15:37

I don't like them, either.

0:15:370:15:39

I've been fightin' that outfit

0:15:390:15:40

ever since they killed my first partner.

0:15:400:15:42

Claimed he was rubbed out by the Sioux,

0:15:420:15:43

but they weren't Sioux, not by a gutful.

0:15:430:15:45

How come they did that?

0:15:450:15:46

We was free traders.

0:15:460:15:48

There ain't nothin' they won't do to stop competition.

0:15:480:15:49

They want to hog the whole Missouri.

0:15:490:15:51

Don't want anybody tradin' to Indians

0:15:510:15:53

unless'n they got a finger in the pie.

0:15:530:15:55

But enough about that. Tell me what you two

0:15:550:15:57

aim to do, where you're goin'.

0:15:570:15:58

Where are YOU goin', Zeb?

0:15:580:16:00

When I get out of here,

0:16:000:16:01

I'm going up the Missouri on a keelboat.

0:16:010:16:02

Sounds all right.

0:16:020:16:04

Yeah, we figured to join up with you.

0:16:040:16:06

Join up with me? Well, I don't know about that.

0:16:060:16:08

As I remember, you can shoot pretty good, Boone.

0:16:080:16:10

How about you?

0:16:100:16:12

Jim's pretty near as good as me.

0:16:120:16:13

"Pretty near"? How about that time...

0:16:130:16:15

Well, now, never mind that.

0:16:150:16:16

I'll take your word for it,

0:16:160:16:17

but first we got to...

0:16:170:16:19

Calloway, where are you?

0:16:190:16:21

Hello, Frenchy. Where you been?

0:16:210:16:23

Looking for you everywhere.

0:16:230:16:24

Why don't you try lookin' for me here first?

0:16:240:16:25

Save time.

0:16:250:16:27

MAN SPEAKS FRENCH

0:16:270:16:28

Talk English, hoss.

0:16:280:16:30

The mist, the fog, she's come up on the river.

0:16:300:16:31

ZEB: Looks like a good night, huh?

0:16:310:16:33

Look, Frenchy, I think we got trouble.

0:16:330:16:34

One of your crew's talked too much.

0:16:340:16:35

Who? Well, the reason I'm here,

0:16:350:16:38

some of them Company rats started waggin' their tongue

0:16:380:16:40

that your boat's gonna be searched in the morning.

0:16:400:16:42

No?

0:16:420:16:43

Yeah. Said you wouldn't get past Fort Leavenworth.

0:16:430:16:44

Who has told them?

0:16:440:16:45

Well, I think Labadie's been on the prowl.

0:16:450:16:47

You and Labadie - all along the river, wherever I go,

0:16:470:16:50

they tell me, "They were here.

0:16:500:16:52

"They had the whiskey. And they went away."

0:16:520:16:53

ZEB: It's a lie. I didn't get into the second bottle

0:16:530:16:55

before a ruckus started.

0:16:550:16:56

What do we do, Calloway?

0:16:560:16:58

You say there's a fog on the river?

0:16:580:16:59

If I was you, I'd slip out

0:16:590:17:00

without nobody knowin' it

0:17:000:17:02

and be up the river

0:17:020:17:03

a far piece before daylight.

0:17:030:17:05

Come on! Let's go!

0:17:050:17:06

You got to pay our fines

0:17:060:17:08

and get us out of here first.

0:17:080:17:09

I pay YOUR fine, but not those two jailbirds.

0:17:090:17:11

Oh, no.

0:17:110:17:12

Go on and sail. I'm going back to bed.

0:17:120:17:14

Now, wait a minute, Calloway. I can't go without you.

0:17:140:17:17

HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:17:170:17:19

Who are these men?

0:17:190:17:21

One of them's my nephew Boone,

0:17:210:17:22

and this is, er...

0:17:220:17:24

Jim Deakins.

0:17:240:17:25

Yeah, a friend of his.

0:17:250:17:27

They're both good hunters.

0:17:270:17:28

What do they hunt in jail?

0:17:280:17:30

Now, look, we can use them.

0:17:300:17:31

Quit wastin' time and pay our fines.

0:17:310:17:33

I waste time? You look here, Calloway.

0:17:330:17:34

One day you will be just too long in the jail.

0:17:340:17:36

You will rot there.

0:17:360:17:38

An excitable sort of fella,

0:17:380:17:39

but one you can count on.

0:17:390:17:41

Much obliged to you, Zeb, for getting us those jobs.

0:17:410:17:43

Yeah, thanks.

0:17:430:17:45

If I was you, I'd wait and see.

0:17:450:17:47

You was right about that fog, Frenchy.

0:17:510:17:52

It's going to be a right fittin' night.

0:17:520:17:54

I sure hate to leave without Labadie.

0:17:540:17:55

Who's Labadie?

0:17:550:17:56

The best cook on the river.

0:17:560:17:58

MAN SINGS IN FRENCH

0:17:580:18:00

Hey, listen. It's Labadie makin' music.

0:18:000:18:02

Hey, that's that...

0:18:020:18:04

is he a little Frenchman with a round face,

0:18:040:18:05

just like a baby's?

0:18:050:18:07

Yeah, that's him.

0:18:070:18:08

We'll get him. Maybe Egleston's in there.

0:18:080:18:09

Me and Romaine will take care of it.

0:18:090:18:11

A gal in there I want to see.

0:18:110:18:12

I'll tell her you'll see her in four or five months.

0:18:120:18:15

SINGING STOPS

0:18:210:18:22

Take him along.

0:18:220:18:24

HE YELLS IN FRENCH

0:18:240:18:25

Just gettin' my cook back.

0:18:250:18:27

MAN SHOUTS IN FRENCH

0:18:270:18:29

Hey, you're gonna drown him.

0:18:340:18:36

ZEB: No, he can take a heap of it.

0:18:360:18:39

You all right, hoss?

0:18:390:18:41

I feel fine.

0:18:410:18:42

Reckon you didn't give him enough.

0:18:420:18:44

Well, bring him along anyhow.

0:18:440:18:46

LABADIE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:18:460:18:49

HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:19:010:19:02

Silence!

0:19:020:19:04

Attention, vos tetes!

0:19:350:19:37

I reckon he knows where he's goin'.

0:19:570:19:59

Hope he does.

0:19:590:20:00

He knows.

0:20:000:20:02

Mandan.

0:20:070:20:10

Mandan.

0:20:120:20:14

MAN: Hoo-ee!

0:20:140:20:18

Come aboard.

0:20:180:20:20

HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:20:380:20:40

You boys get up here and keep out of the way.

0:20:450:20:48

MAN SPEAKS FRENCH

0:20:500:20:51

The lights - put them out.

0:20:560:20:58

I'll get it.

0:20:580:21:00

Nous sommes pret.

0:21:080:21:10

HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:21:120:21:13

Well, hoss, we sleep right here.

0:21:500:21:53

Got a long ways to go.

0:21:530:21:55

WOMAN SCREAMS

0:22:370:22:40

THEY SPEAK FRENCH

0:22:400:22:42

Hey, Chouquette, what you doing here?

0:22:420:22:44

HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:22:440:22:46

All right. So there's a woman on board.

0:22:460:22:47

Why is not your business. Go back to work.

0:22:470:22:50

Allez! >

0:22:500:22:53

The rest of you keep quiet.

0:22:530:22:55

Go to sleep.

0:22:550:22:57

Hey, Zeb, what's a woman...

0:22:570:22:59

Like he said, hoss, you better get some sleep.

0:22:590:23:02

ZEB: 'The first day out were a long one,

0:23:130:23:15

'the whole crew waitin' for the woman to show her face

0:23:150:23:19

'or for that crazy Frenchman to tell them

0:23:190:23:21

'what a female were doin' aboard the boat.'

0:23:210:23:24

MAN SPEAKS FRENCH

0:24:030:24:05

Hey, Calloway! Ha ha!

0:24:090:24:11

You know, Frenchy,

0:24:110:24:12

sometimes you look prettier to me than a...

0:24:120:24:15

That ain't no woman. She's just a girl.

0:24:310:24:33

She's an Indian.

0:24:330:24:34

Yep, that's right.

0:24:340:24:36

You've seen her now, eh?

0:24:360:24:37

You have the ideas maybe.

0:24:370:24:39

HE SHOUTS IN FRENCH

0:24:390:24:40

Take it easy, hoss.

0:24:400:24:41

HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:24:410:24:43

Speak English.

0:24:430:24:44

Have you seen their faces?

0:24:440:24:46

Sure, I've seen them. Tell them.

0:24:460:24:47

I tell them. It's time to talk now. Listen, everybody,

0:24:470:24:50

and listen good!

0:24:500:24:51

I didn't tell you before because men get drunk

0:24:510:24:54

and talk too much, like Labadie.

0:24:540:24:56

I talk to you later.

0:24:560:24:59

Now, first we talk business.

0:24:590:25:01

Most of time, you have signed on board

0:25:010:25:04

for 10 a month, belly full of food,

0:25:040:25:06

and whiskey three times a day, huh?

0:25:060:25:08

But this time, for more -

0:25:080:25:10

each man a share of the profit,

0:25:100:25:12

because this time we go far -

0:25:120:25:15

upriver 2,000 miles, maybe more.

0:25:150:25:18

No white man ever go so far before, huh?

0:25:180:25:21

Not one.

0:25:210:25:23

We are going to trade furs with the Blackfeet.

0:25:230:25:26

It takes two, three months just to get there.

0:25:260:25:29

Maybe more, huh? But this time,

0:25:290:25:31

we are not going to take the leavings of the company.

0:25:310:25:34

This time we go past their forts,

0:25:340:25:37

past their trading posts, where they do not dare to go.

0:25:370:25:39

Why you don't tell us this when we sign on?

0:25:390:25:41

Listen, Chouquette, I told you before -

0:25:410:25:43

men drink too much and talk too much.

0:25:430:25:44

But I don't understand.

0:25:440:25:46

If Fur Company cannot trade with Blackfeet,

0:25:460:25:49

how can we, huh? Pourquoi?

0:25:490:25:50

Pourqui? Parce que...

0:25:500:25:52

Speak English, hoss, and good English.

0:25:520:25:55

Bon.

0:25:550:25:56

You ask me why we can trade with the Blackfeet

0:25:560:25:58

and the company cannot. I'll tell you.

0:25:580:26:00

Because we have the Indian girl.

0:26:000:26:03

She is...er, Calloway, you tell.

0:26:030:26:05

Well, the girl's a Blackfoot,

0:26:050:26:07

daughter of one of their chiefs.

0:26:070:26:09

They're gonna be mighty thankful when we bring her back.

0:26:090:26:12

We'll get to the end of the river...

0:26:120:26:14

We'll get to the end of the river

0:26:140:26:15

only because we have the Indian girl.

0:26:150:26:17

You could have told them yourself.

0:26:170:26:19

Sure, I can. For us, she will be our, er...

0:26:190:26:21

our, er...

0:26:210:26:23

how you say?

0:26:230:26:24

Hostage.

0:26:240:26:26

Host-age? Hostage!

0:26:260:26:28

She'll protect us.

0:26:280:26:29

She'll tell her people that we brought her back

0:26:290:26:32

only because we want to be the friends,

0:26:320:26:34

the brothers of the Blackfeet, huh?

0:26:340:26:36

Now you see why, if anything,

0:26:360:26:39

ANYTHING happens to her,

0:26:390:26:40

the whole world - pfft!

0:26:400:26:42

So keep away. Leave her alone.

0:26:420:26:45

No talk, no play, no hands, no nothing.

0:26:450:26:48

If you do, Mr Calloway will shoot...dead

0:26:480:26:52

anyone who monkey, eh, Calloway?

0:26:520:26:55

That's right.

0:26:550:26:56

Well, you know now. What do you say, huh?

0:26:560:26:59

What do you say?

0:26:590:27:00

This is the time now to talk.

0:27:000:27:03

If you want to go back, you can.

0:27:030:27:05

Go back to St Louis right now,

0:27:050:27:07

but if you stay...

0:27:070:27:09

you must stay till the end, huh?

0:27:090:27:13

Anyone?

0:27:130:27:14

All stay.

0:27:140:27:16

Bon. Now we'll have a drink.

0:27:160:27:19

MEN TALK EXCITEDLY

0:27:190:27:22

ZEB: 'Goin' on up the river,

0:27:440:27:46

'the crew were good and worked together,

0:27:460:27:48

'like men will when they's believin' in what they's doing.

0:27:480:27:50

'They talked it over by their selves

0:27:500:27:52

'and figured Frenchy's scheme was a good one.'

0:27:520:27:55

'Only took ten days to get to Fort Leavenworth.

0:28:090:28:12

'What with extra whiskey and the gal aboard,

0:28:120:28:15

'the mandan couldn't have passed inspection at the fort,

0:28:150:28:19

'so we waited and went by them at night,

0:28:190:28:22

'oars muffled so as they couldn't see or hear us.'

0:28:220:28:26

ANIMAL HOWLS

0:28:260:28:28

CLANG

0:28:280:28:29

(Hey. Silence!)

0:28:290:28:31

Hey, Frenchy,

0:28:500:28:52

leave more whiskey on board than the permit allows.

0:28:520:28:54

Some corn liquor?

0:28:540:28:55

Let them grab a couple kegs.

0:28:550:28:57

Then they won't get suspicious.

0:28:570:28:58

If they ask about us,

0:28:590:29:00

you tell them you put us ashore

0:29:000:29:02

to hunt some fresh meat

0:29:020:29:04

and you'll pick us up above.

0:29:040:29:06

Bon. HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:29:060:29:08

Boat going back to Fort Leavenworth?

0:29:080:29:10

You just now catching on?

0:29:100:29:11

They'll go back past Leavenworth tonight

0:29:110:29:13

and tomorrow morning,

0:29:130:29:15

go through inspection

0:29:150:29:16

and then come back here,

0:29:160:29:18

and we'll load up again.

FRENCHY SHOUTS

0:29:390:29:41

That gal talk English, Zeb?

0:29:580:30:00

Teal Eye? She don't talk much at all.

0:30:000:30:02

Teal Eye? That her name?

0:30:020:30:04

It's just a name I give her.

0:30:040:30:06

You ever notice the eyes

0:30:060:30:08

of a blue-winged teal?

0:30:080:30:10

Kind of big, soft...pretty.

0:30:100:30:13

How come she never shows her face?

0:30:130:30:17

ZEB: Jourdonnais says with the crew around,

0:30:180:30:20

it's best that way.

0:30:200:30:21

Beginning to have my doubts about it.

0:30:210:30:24

It's funny, ain't it? Hmm?

0:30:240:30:27

Here I am, worryin' about a woman.

0:30:270:30:28

Men don't worry much about women when they're around.

0:30:280:30:31

When he gets way off from them, like we are now,

0:30:310:30:35

when he knows he's goin' a lot farther away...

0:30:350:30:38

That's a brand- spanking-new subject, hoss.

0:30:380:30:40

Well... what I mean is,

0:30:400:30:42

that's when a woman gets workin' in your mind.

0:30:420:30:45

You reckon you're a fool

0:30:450:30:46

for not noticin' before

0:30:460:30:48

how big a part of things they be.

0:30:480:30:51

Yeah, ain't nothin' like seein' a woman's face.

0:30:510:30:55

I remember once back in Kentucky,

0:30:550:30:56

I was in a stagecoach.

0:30:560:30:58

All night, I sat right next to a woman

0:30:580:31:00

who had her face wrapped up in a veil.

0:31:000:31:03

When the road got rough,

0:31:030:31:05

I couldn't help bumpin' against her.

0:31:050:31:07

Smelled good, too.

0:31:070:31:08

You gonna keep me on tenterhooks?

0:31:080:31:10

What did you do?

0:31:100:31:12

Nothin', but finally the coach threw a wheel and turned over,

0:31:120:31:15

and I sure was glad

0:31:150:31:16

cos she lit right on top of me.

0:31:160:31:18

Well?

0:31:180:31:19

Well, when I got my nose bent back

0:31:190:31:22

and we got untangled,

0:31:220:31:24

I, er... I got to see her face.

0:31:240:31:27

Pretty?

0:31:270:31:29

Pretty.

0:31:290:31:30

They tell me curiosity killed a cat once.

0:31:540:31:56

Couldn't wait, could you?

0:31:560:31:58

Don't look too bad for an Indian.

0:31:580:32:00

How'd she get lost from her people, Zeb?

0:32:000:32:02

Crow war party catched her.

0:32:020:32:04

Crows and Blackfeet hate each other.

0:32:040:32:06

Pure luck she slipped away

0:32:060:32:08

before they killed her.

0:32:080:32:09

How'd Jourdonnais get her?

0:32:090:32:11

He found her floatin' down the river

0:32:110:32:13

in a canoe, half-dead

0:32:130:32:14

way up past the platte,

0:32:140:32:16

three or four years ago.

0:32:160:32:17

That's when he got the idea for this trip.

0:32:170:32:19

How do you talk to her if she don't speak our language?

0:32:190:32:23

I talk hers. I been among them.

0:32:230:32:26

This child's seen a heap of Indians

0:32:260:32:29

and most of this country.

0:32:290:32:32

She's big and wild...

0:32:320:32:35

cold as hell, the seeds skedee,

0:32:350:32:37

and the tetons standin' higher than the clouds.

0:32:370:32:41

But by beaver, there's nothin' prettier

0:32:410:32:44

than the upper Missouri.

0:32:440:32:46

She's wild and pretty,

0:32:460:32:48

like a virgin woman.

0:32:480:32:49

But the prettiest part of it all

0:32:490:32:52

belongs to her people -

0:32:520:32:54

Blackfeet, proud Indians.

0:32:540:32:56

Ain't gonna let no white men spoil their country.

0:32:560:32:59

The only thing they're feared of

0:32:590:33:01

is a white man's sickness.

0:33:010:33:02

What's that?

0:33:020:33:03

Grabs. White men don't see nothin' pretty

0:33:030:33:05

unless'n they want to grab it.

0:33:050:33:07

The more they grab, the more they want to grab.

0:33:070:33:09

It's like a fever, and they can't get cured.

0:33:090:33:12

The only thing for them to do is keep on grabbin'

0:33:120:33:14

till everything belongs to white men

0:33:140:33:16

and then start grabbin' from each other.

0:33:160:33:18

They reckon Indians got no reason

0:33:180:33:21

to love nothin' white,

0:33:210:33:23

but by beaver, this child would rather be

0:33:230:33:25

in that Blackfoot country than anywhere's else.

0:33:250:33:29

Many's the times I dodged them,

0:33:290:33:32

makin' cool camp, thinkin' my time was up,

0:33:320:33:34

and all the time, livin' good, loose,

0:33:340:33:36

and free as a badger in a good pond.

0:33:360:33:39

Kind of like that country, don't you, Zeb?

0:33:390:33:42

Yeah.

0:33:420:33:43

< That's the country where my brother was killed, ain't it?

0:33:430:33:46

That's right. That's where Ben were killed.

0:33:460:33:48

He weren't much older than you are now.

0:33:480:33:51

In fact, I weren't much older myself.

0:33:510:33:53

I thought you'd have forgot.

0:33:530:33:55

Why should I be forgettin'?

0:33:550:33:57

Do you forget what this is?

0:33:570:33:59

ZEB: Looks like a scalp.

0:33:590:34:00

You give it to me.

0:34:000:34:02

You said you took it off'n the Indian that killed my brother.

0:34:020:34:04

That's right, I did.

0:34:040:34:05

That's why you don't like Indians.

0:34:050:34:07

Would you?

0:34:070:34:08

Must have been the time

0:34:080:34:09

I went back to tell your ma.

0:34:090:34:11

That's right.

0:34:110:34:12

It's been a long time, hoss.

0:34:120:34:13

If I was you, I'd get rid of it.

0:34:130:34:15

Why?

0:34:150:34:16

You're always askin' questions. Just get rid of it.

0:34:160:34:18

I wouldn't mix up in this if I was you, hoss.

0:34:220:34:26

You all through?

0:34:350:34:38

Whew. She's worse than a spit cat.

0:34:540:34:56

Lucky for you she didn't have a knife.

0:34:560:34:58

She'd have stuck it clean to your gizzard.

0:34:580:34:59

What for? Why'd she want to grab this?

0:34:590:35:01

That's a Blackfoot scalp you got,

0:35:010:35:02

and she knows it.

0:35:020:35:04

Ain't you never thought

0:35:040:35:05

why an Indian takes a scalp? Why?

0:35:050:35:08

To shame an enemy.

0:35:080:35:09

The way she figures,

0:35:090:35:10

there's a Blackfoot brave somewheres

0:35:100:35:12

that can't show his face in the hereafter

0:35:120:35:13

till that thing is buried under the ground.

0:35:130:35:15

You mean, you got to be buried whole? Sure.

0:35:150:35:18

That's a right funny way to think.

0:35:180:35:19

No reason a body can't think

0:35:190:35:20

the way they want to, is there?

0:35:200:35:22

Why don't you give it back to her?

0:35:220:35:24

It's all right, hoss, but if I was you,

0:35:240:35:26

from now on, I'd sleep with one eye open.

0:35:260:35:28

Any good at one-eyed sleepin'?

0:35:280:35:32

You get awful tired. Ha ha ha!

0:35:320:35:34

ZEB: 'By September,

0:35:450:35:47

'we was past the mouth of the platte,

0:35:470:35:48

'a thousand miles upriver,

0:35:480:35:50

'gettin' nigh on to the Fur Company territory.

0:35:500:35:53

'Things was goin' good, too good,

0:35:530:35:56

'cos it weren't natural for the company

0:35:560:35:57

'to let us do what we was doin'

0:35:570:35:59

'without tryin' to stop us.'

Where you go, Calloway?

0:36:100:36:12

You mean, where have I been?

0:36:120:36:14

Been lookin' around.

0:36:140:36:15

Seen anything?

0:36:150:36:16

Didn't see nothin', not even a trace.

0:36:160:36:18

Bon.

0:36:180:36:20

What's good about it? Stop scrapin' your face and listen to me.

0:36:200:36:21

I'm listening.

0:36:210:36:22

You Frenchmen are all alike, always prettyin' yourself up.

0:36:220:36:24

What you worrying about?

0:36:240:36:26

The Fur Company.

0:36:260:36:27

I figure they're goin' to do something about us,

0:36:270:36:29

and it's gettin' near time for them to do it if they're going to.

0:36:290:36:31

What will they do?

0:36:310:36:32

I don't know. If I did, I wouldn't be worryin' about it.

0:36:320:36:35

What are we doing?

0:36:350:36:36

Well, we can't do much. We could put out some guards.

0:36:360:36:38

Bon. About three of them.

0:36:380:36:41

Look, you get the men together,

0:36:410:36:42

and I'll tell them what to do.

0:36:420:36:44

Well, today, not tomorrow.

0:36:440:36:45

Ca va, ca va!

0:36:450:36:46

And tell them to bring some guns with them.

0:36:460:36:49

Bon.

0:36:490:36:50

Don't know what good they'd do.

0:36:500:36:51

They couldn't hit a bull's hind end with a lodge pole.

0:36:510:36:54

Say, what's the Fur Company liable to do?

0:36:540:36:56

Try to keep us from goin' up the river.

0:36:560:36:59

Romaine, you come with me.

0:36:590:37:01

And you two, one of you

0:37:010:37:02

go down the river a piece,

0:37:020:37:04

and the other up a ways.

0:37:040:37:06

This looks all right.

0:37:120:37:14

Now, just set down and don't move around.

0:37:140:37:16

Just stay in one place. Understand?

0:37:160:37:18

Oui. Keep your eyes open.

0:37:180:37:20

If you see anything, shoot.

0:37:200:37:21

Don't bother to aim

0:37:210:37:23

because you probably couldn't hit nothin' nohow.

Yeah.

What's he singin'?

0:37:480:37:50

Oh, it's a very old song, monsieur.

0:37:500:37:53

He tells of a man who is lonely for his woman.

0:37:530:37:57

When he dreams, he feels his lips on her lips.

0:37:570:38:02

Mostly that he's... very lonely without her love.

I reckon he wants a drink.

0:40:080:40:09

Give him a drink, Frenchy, huh?

Could be he'll talk, and we'll find out what's ahead.

0:40:110:40:14

What is he?

He's a Blackfoot, Poordevil Indian.

You run onto them every once in a while -

0:40:180:40:21

no gun, nigh bared rump,

She said he's making a laughing stock of the Blackfeet,

0:40:480:40:50

swillin' down liquor and such.

0:40:500:40:52

He sure is ugly, but he tickles a man.

0:40:520:40:55

What do we do with him?

0:40:550:40:57

Couldn't get shut of him now.

0:40:570:40:59

He knows who she be,

'Well, Poordevil talked, all right,

'Polin' and rowin' was too slow,

0:41:180:41:20

'and the only way to make time was by haulin' the boat.

0:41:200:41:23

'The French call it Cordelle.'

0:41:230:41:26

The water's mighty rough-lookin'.

0:42:350:42:36

If the Frenchman had a fool hen's sense,

0:42:360:42:38

he'd back up and wait for better water.

0:42:380:42:40

HE SHOUTS ORDERS IN FRENCH

Chicken-brained...

Well, go and tell him then. You, too.

How is she?

0:44:480:44:49

All right. Just waterlogged. She'll be all right.

0:44:490:44:51

What do you reckon we ought to do?

0:44:510:44:53

Hurt your hand?

0:44:530:44:54

Nah, just my finger. What do you...

0:44:540:44:56

Hurt? Not yet. Still numb.

0:44:560:44:59

Should we carry her back?

0:44:590:45:00

She ain't no feather.

0:45:000:45:01

Far as I can make out,

0:45:010:45:03

she don't want nobody around.

0:45:030:45:05

She'll get back by herself.

Hey, Uncle Zeb, come over here, will you?

0:45:330:45:35

I may be your uncle. You don't have to tell everybody about it.

0:45:350:45:37

I ain't as old as you make it sound.

How's Teal Eye gettin' along?

0:45:400:45:42

Still mad, talkin' a blue streak.

0:45:420:45:44

Here. She sent this shirt. There's a message with it.

0:45:440:45:46

What's the message?

0:45:460:45:48

She says you're even now.

0:45:480:45:49

You saved her life today,

0:45:490:45:51

and she ain't killed you yet.

0:45:510:45:54

How'd you do that?

0:45:550:45:56

Tree in the river got it caught.

0:45:560:45:58

Ain't no feelin' in it.

0:45:580:46:00

Yep.

0:46:340:46:36

Whoa, hoss.

Ha ha ha!

Empty.

0:46:450:46:47

Wouldn't be if you hadn't given me that last one.

0:46:470:46:49

I can fix that quicker than you can skin a cat.

0:46:490:46:51

Oh, no. You gonna have your finger cut off, too, Zeb?

0:46:510:46:54

No, he said it.

Poordevil, too?

0:46:550:46:57

Well, you and Poordevil

0:46:570:46:58

gonna have your finger cut off just cos I be?

0:46:580:47:00

That don't make sense,

0:47:000:47:01

all that fuss over one measly finger.

0:47:010:47:03

What'n if I was gonna have two cut off?

0:47:030:47:05

You mean you'd cut off two of your fingers, too?

0:47:050:47:08

Oh, that's what I call a real friend, yes, sir.

0:47:080:47:10

Hey, Boone, would you cut

0:47:100:47:12

two of your fingers, off, too, huh?

0:47:120:47:13

I reckon he's about ready.

0:47:130:47:15

I tell you, a man's lucky to have friends like that.

0:47:150:47:17

Maybe even cut off a hand, too.

0:47:170:47:18

Yes, sir, I got some real friends, real friends.

0:47:180:47:20

Bring that iron.

0:47:200:47:22

Then again, I don't know.

0:47:220:47:23

People always want to do what everybody else...

0:47:230:47:25

Hold him, Romaine.

0:47:250:47:26

Nobody ever lets a body do what...

0:47:260:47:29

Hey!

0:47:290:47:30

Hey.

There. How's she feel, hoss?

0:47:320:47:34

Ha ha ha! Fine.

0:47:340:47:36

Ha ha ha! Fine.

0:47:360:47:38

Here. Save one for me.

0:47:380:47:40

Dogged if he knows it's gone.

0:47:400:47:41

Ha ha ha!

0:47:410:47:43

Who's got it?

0:47:430:47:45

Got what?

0:47:450:47:46

My finger.

0:47:460:47:47

What's a man gonna do without his finger?

0:47:470:47:49

What do you want your finger for?

0:47:490:47:50

Didn't you tell me an Indian can't go to heaven

0:47:500:47:52

unless he's whole. Didn't you?

0:47:520:47:53

You sure did.

0:47:530:47:55

Sounds right, too, don't it?

0:47:550:47:56

How can you go up there without your finger?

0:47:560:47:58

That's what I say.

0:47:580:47:59

Who's got it? Who's got it?

0:47:590:48:01

Fine thing to do to a friend, lose his finger.

0:48:010:48:03

Aw, don't worry.

0:48:030:48:04

Cut off a man's finger and lose it.

0:48:040:48:07

I must have throwed it in the fire.

0:48:070:48:09

Holy cow.

0:48:090:48:10

I wouldn't do that to you, would I?

0:48:100:48:11

No, sir, I wouldn't.

0:48:110:48:13

Well, find my finger. Find my finger there.

0:48:130:48:16

'Two more weeks,

0:48:220:48:24

'and still nary a sign from the Fur Company.

0:48:240:48:26

'We was ashore now most of the time,

0:48:260:48:28

'huntin' meat.'

0:48:280:48:30

Sure is big country.

0:48:300:48:32

Only thing bigger is the sky.

0:48:320:48:35

Looks like God made it

0:48:350:48:37

and forgot to put people in it.

0:48:370:48:40

He didn't forget to put skeeters in it.

0:48:400:48:42

Worse than chiggers, ain't they?

0:48:420:48:43

Yeah. Like to bleed a man to death.

0:48:430:48:45

These ain't real skeeters. These is runts.

0:48:450:48:47

Huh? The further up we go,

0:48:470:48:50

the bigger they get.

0:48:500:48:52

They got stingers as big as pipestems.

0:48:520:48:54

Can't see what God made them for.

0:48:540:48:56

To remind a man he ain't so biggity, I guess.

0:48:560:48:59

Ain't much...

0:48:590:49:01

ain't much chance of forgettin' that.

0:49:010:49:03

Maybe that's why he gave us five fingers, huh?

0:49:030:49:05

Could be one reason.

0:49:050:49:07

I bet those skeeters are saying,

0:49:070:49:09

"Thanks, Lord, for everything,

0:49:090:49:10

"only why did you have to put hands on a man

0:49:100:49:13

"and a tail on a cow?"

0:49:130:49:15

Here they come.

0:49:200:49:22

She go for swim. He grab her.

Is she all right?

If you'd have quit, I wouldn't have started kissin' you.

What do you expect, sneakin' up on a man

0:54:000:54:03

I don't like havin' a knife poked in my face.

0:54:030:54:06

I'd have give you this if you'd have asked for it.

0:54:070:54:10

Instead of that, you had to...

0:54:100:54:11

I keep forgettin'. You can't talk, can you?

0:54:110:54:14

Bad enough tryin' to deal with a female that can talk,

0:54:140:54:17

but it's even worser with one that can't.

0:54:170:54:20

Can't tell what she's thinkin' or feelin' or nothin'.

0:54:200:54:23

Why don't you say something,

Yes, from there.

0:54:350:54:36

Where's Boone?

0:54:360:54:38

His gun's here.

0:54:380:54:39

ZEB SPEAKS BLACKFOOT

0:54:580:54:59

What is this? How'd she get this knife?

0:54:590:55:01

I gave it to her. It's a good thing, too.

0:55:010:55:03

You give her that knife?

0:55:030:55:05

I just said I did. Too bad she didn't stick it...

0:55:050:55:07

You're not so good without your...

0:55:090:55:11

Take him, Romaine.

0:55:110:55:12

You whip him just like Chouquette.

0:55:120:55:14

Sure, whip him. Go on.

0:55:140:55:15

Only look what you done to him.

0:55:150:55:17

What are you waitin' for?

0:55:170:55:18

He's cut up. Cut him up some more.

0:55:180:55:20

I should have known he was hurt

0:55:200:55:21

when he hit me no harder than a baby's pat.

0:55:210:55:23

You can whip him, all right. He's earned it.

0:55:230:55:25

But you're going to wait until he heals up enough to take it.

0:55:250:55:28

Easy, hoss, easy. Best we sew that thing up.

0:55:280:55:31

Give me a hand with him, Zeb.

0:55:310:55:33

ZEB: More hot water.

0:55:420:55:44

Here you are.

0:55:460:55:48

I remember once me and a trapper named Parker...

0:55:480:55:51

we run smack into a big grizzly bear.

0:55:510:55:53

Bear sure made a mess out of Parker before we killed it.

0:55:530:55:56

Ripped one of his ears clean off.

0:55:560:55:59

But this child just happened to have a needle

0:55:590:56:02

and some of this here deer sinew, just like we got here.

0:56:020:56:05

Yeah, while his ear was still hot,

0:56:050:56:07

I picked it up and sewed it back on his head,

0:56:070:56:09

and it growed almost as good as ever.

0:56:090:56:10

Here. Let me do that.

0:56:100:56:12

I can see. I can see.

0:56:120:56:13

My arms just ain't long enough, that's all.

0:56:130:56:15

I said growed almost as good as ever,

0:56:150:56:18

not hardly.

0:56:180:56:19

Seems I sewed Parker's ear on backwards.

0:56:190:56:22

Yeah, he hated me till the day he died...

0:56:220:56:25

on account of every time he'd hear a rattlesnake,

0:56:250:56:28

he'd turn the wrong direction

0:56:280:56:30

and step smack into it.

0:56:300:56:31

Dogged if I didn't do it.

0:56:350:56:37

Sounds like you're sayin' all that

0:56:370:56:38

to get out of sewin' him up.

0:56:380:56:40

Ever since that time, I been awful nervous.

0:56:400:56:42

I ain't gonna do it.

0:56:420:56:43

Here. You take this...

0:56:430:56:45

pour some whiskey on his wound and start sewin'.

0:56:450:56:48

He got what was comin' to him.

0:56:480:56:49

You ain't gonna hit a man when he's down, are you?

0:56:490:56:51

Well, I can wait till he gets up, can't I?

0:56:510:56:53

SHE SPEAKS BLACKFOOT

0:56:530:56:54

Hey, that's enough.

0:57:320:57:34

That's enough!

0:57:340:57:36

Hey, hoss, take a gander over yonder.

0:57:360:57:39

That's one way to get even with a body.

0:57:390:57:42

Two jugs in three days.

0:57:420:57:44

Here's one she ain't gonna get, though.

0:57:440:57:47

'The rains didn't last long.

0:57:510:57:53

'The water was higher, but the goin' was good.

0:57:530:57:55

'We even got some south wind to help us...'

0:57:550:57:58

'..and we passed the Cheyenne

0:58:030:58:05

'and worked up to the Yellowstone.'

0:58:050:58:07

Hold it, Frenchy. You're gettin' too het up.

Good figurin', Zeb.

1:02:311:02:33

Yeah, start a big fire - brush and such.

1:02:331:02:34

Streak and them will think

1:02:341:02:35

these buckos finished the job.

1:02:351:02:37

And left us afoot.

1:02:371:02:38

Yeah, only way to catch up with them.

1:02:381:02:40

The fire don't burn much.

1:02:401:02:42

Reckon a couple of us

ought to get behind them.

1:03:541:03:56

Makes sense.

1:03:561:03:58

I'll take Poordevil

When I get there,

1:04:011:04:02

I'll hoot like an owl,

Just don't nobody move, and you won't get hurt.

1:04:441:04:46

You're good for only one shot, Calloway.

1:04:461:04:48

JIM: Wouldn't nobody turn around. Here's one more shot.

1:04:481:04:50

How do you like them apples, Streak?

1:04:501:04:52

Crazy, both of you.

1:04:521:04:54

< Here's another that's crazy. Don't turn around.

1:04:541:04:55

POORDEVIL LAUGHS

1:04:551:04:56

Appears like the woods is full of Indians, too.

1:04:561:04:59

Pete, get their guns.

1:04:591:05:00

The rest of you'uns

1:05:001:05:02

get over there close together.

1:05:021:05:04

Crawl doin' it, and move!

1:05:041:05:06

Hurry!

1:05:061:05:07

You fellas got any sense, you'll throw in with us.

1:05:081:05:10

Why?

1:05:101:05:12

You've lost your boat. You can't go anyplace.

1:05:121:05:13

How do you know that?

1:05:131:05:14

We seen the fire a long ways off.

1:05:141:05:16

Knew just what it were

1:05:161:05:17

from a long way off, didn't you?

1:05:171:05:19

Weren't nothin' but a bunch of brush burnin'.

1:05:191:05:21

You thought just what we wanted you to.

1:05:211:05:23

What did you do with those two men?

1:05:231:05:25

They didn't burn the boat.

1:05:251:05:26

You-all - shut up.

1:05:261:05:29

Zeb, ask her if any of them bothered her.

1:05:291:05:30

THEY SPEAK BLACKFOOT

1:05:301:05:34

ZEB: Quit it, Poordevil.

1:05:351:05:37

Quit it.

1:05:371:05:39

What's he jabberin' about?

1:05:391:05:40

ZEB: He says Streak's got the prettiest scalp he's ever seed.

1:05:401:05:43

Could be we ought to let him take it.

1:05:431:05:46

ZEB: Well, come on. Let's get goin'.

1:05:461:05:48

Pete, get their rifles.

1:05:481:05:50

We'll be takin' your horses, too, Streak.

1:05:511:05:54

Just don't try followin' us.

1:05:541:05:56

'Well, Streak didn't try to follow up,

1:06:001:06:03

'and three days later, we come to the Company fort and MacMasters.'

1:06:031:06:08

HE SPEAKS FRENCH

1:06:111:06:13

Hey, keep them off the boat.

1:06:231:06:25

Bring them two rats along.

1:06:361:06:38

Frenchy, better drop off a couple of men here.

1:06:471:06:50

FRENCHY REPLIES

1:06:501:06:51

We warned you.

1:07:001:07:01

Figured you'd get here before we did.

1:07:011:07:02

Tell your lord and master

1:07:021:07:04

what happened, or didn't you?

1:07:041:07:05

I didn't tell him...

1:07:051:07:06

You can now anyway.

1:07:061:07:08

What's this...

1:07:081:07:09

Shut up and save it for later.

1:07:091:07:10

You can come, too.

1:07:101:07:11

Hi, MacMasters.

1:07:261:07:27

Hello, Calloway.

1:07:271:07:28

I want to talk to you.

1:07:281:07:30

First, you get up there where you belong.

1:07:301:07:32

Come on, you, too.

1:07:321:07:33

There's a couple of more.

1:07:331:07:35

Maybe they don't belong to you.

1:07:351:07:37

I wouldn't say that.

1:07:371:07:38

No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't admit nothin'.

1:07:381:07:40

But there's one thing for sure -

1:07:401:07:42

you sent these polecats to burn our boat,

1:07:421:07:44

but the only thing that burnt

1:07:441:07:45

was eight bags of flour and six bags of beans,

1:07:451:07:47

but we want them back.

1:07:471:07:49

I think you'll find them inside there, boys,

1:07:491:07:50

about two doors down. Just help yourself.

1:07:501:07:52

HE SPEAKS FRENCH

1:07:521:07:53

Now, MacMasters...

1:07:531:07:55

I know your plans, but Jourdonnais is a fool if he thinks...

1:07:551:07:57

If I'm a fool, you must be a...

1:07:571:07:59

Shut up, hoss. Go on.

1:07:591:08:00

I was going to say he's a fool.

1:08:001:08:02

We have plans for the Blackfoot country ourselves.

1:08:021:08:04

For the company, we claim it.

1:08:041:08:05

Why ain't you took it, then?

1:08:051:08:07

The time isn't right.

1:08:071:08:08

If it isn't right for an outfit like ours,

1:08:081:08:10

how close to right do you think it is for you?

1:08:101:08:13

HE SPEAKS FRENCH

1:08:131:08:14

Ah, you and your foolish plans for that girl.

1:08:141:08:17

All right, go on if you want, but you...

1:08:171:08:19

We're goin' on.

1:08:191:08:20

So's we understand...

1:08:201:08:22

He understands.

1:08:221:08:24

I got a gutful of you, fancy pants.

1:08:241:08:25

I don't know you,

1:08:251:08:27

but what I've seen of you, I don't want to.

1:08:271:08:28

Pickin' on women and sendin' weasels...

1:08:281:08:30

I don't see...

1:08:301:08:31

Take it easy, hoss.

1:08:311:08:33

I told you to shut up!

1:08:331:08:36

It's a good thing he laughed or...

1:08:361:08:37

Anyway, like he said,

1:08:371:08:39

we're goin' on ahead.

1:08:391:08:40

So don't send anybody up after us,

1:08:401:08:42

or they may not come back next time.

1:08:421:08:44

MAN SPEAKS FRENCH

1:08:441:08:45

We've told him what we want to,

1:08:451:08:48

and we got what we want to.

1:08:481:08:49

Does anybody else got anything to say?

1:08:491:08:51

Yeah, I...

1:08:511:08:52

Anybody but you, hoss. Let's go.

POORDEVIL LAUGHS

Hold that Indian!

I got another barrel on this gun,

1:09:211:09:22

if anybody wants it. Let him go.

1:09:221:09:24

Better let him go, Streak.

1:09:241:09:26

All right, let him go.

Hey, Calloway, what you think?

1:11:021:11:04

It may be a dodge to get us on the north side

1:11:041:11:07

so the whole bunch of them can jump us.

Keep up the middle.

He says they're Crows. They got war paint on.

Why should the Crows bother us?

1:12:331:12:35

You know, I can't figure it out.

1:12:351:12:37

Crows ain't been hostile for a long spell.

1:12:371:12:39

Somebody must have stirred them up.

Do you think they've gone, went, huh?

1:14:141:14:16

They've gone and went, but the question is,

1:14:161:14:18

will they stay gone and went?

1:14:181:14:19

I'll put the men on the cordelle, eh?

1:14:191:14:21

We make better time.

1:14:211:14:22

Men can't work on the south bank.

1:14:221:14:24

We'll put them on the north bank.

You're crazy.

1:14:261:14:27

Well, we got to do something.

Wait? HE SPEAKS FRENCH

1:14:381:14:39

You ain't askin' me, you're tellin' me.

1:14:391:14:41

He's right. We got to get upriver.

1:14:411:14:43

Sure. Look, Zeb, we're doin' no good settin' here.

Let's try! Let's try it.

before you put out the men.

Come on, Poordevil.

You can have him.

and if you see hide or hair of anything

1:15:301:15:32

fire a shot and head back to the water.

No chance of gettin' back to the boat this way.

We got to get to the river upstream.

Come on.

The farther out in the current we get,

1:17:171:17:20

the better off we'll be.

Wonder how Jim's makin' out.

1:17:261:17:28

Quit wonderin' about him.

1:17:281:17:29

Start worryin' about what's in front of us.

1:17:291:17:31

We just run off and left Jim...

1:17:341:17:36

Get down or you'll get a new part in your hair.

1:17:361:17:39

Watch out!

1:17:391:17:40

Kick hard. Don't make no difference now.

Hey, mandan!

Mandan!

1:17:441:17:47

How goes it, Frenchy?

We hurt them more than they hurt us.

Good.

1:18:111:18:13

Where is Deakins and the Indian?

1:18:131:18:14

I don't know.

1:18:141:18:15

We ran off and left them!

1:18:151:18:17

Huh?

1:18:171:18:18

Give me some dry powder.

1:18:191:18:21

Well, what are we gonna do? Ain't we gonna try to help them?

1:18:211:18:23

Take it easy, hoss, and shoot Indians.

1:18:231:18:25

'By night, they quit fightin',

'like Indians always do,

About dried out, hoss?

He don't know where Deakins is.

Jim told him to run.

1:19:571:19:58

He saw him fall and reckons he's hurted.

1:19:581:20:00

Why didn't he try to help him?

1:20:001:20:01

By that time,

1:20:011:20:02

a whole passel of Crows was after him.

Where's the last place he seed him?

1:20:041:20:07

He says he left Deakins about two miles below.

1:20:101:20:12

Just off where the fight was.

1:20:121:20:14

Yeah, and to get back hisself,

1:20:141:20:15

he had to circle way around the Crows.

1:20:151:20:17

That means he's hurted and right in amongst them.

1:20:171:20:19

It don't look good for him.

But worryin' ain't gonna help none.

1:23:201:23:22

but don't practise on me no more.

1:23:221:23:23

Come on, let's go. Let's keep movin'.

1:23:231:23:25

We'll dry out quicker.

1:24:481:24:49

Easy, Jim, easy. You been shot in the leg.

1:24:491:24:51

Just hold still now.

1:24:511:24:53

How'd you... how'd you find me?

1:24:531:24:55

Don't talk. Just lie back and keep still.

1:24:551:24:58

I'm cold...

1:25:001:25:01

awful cold.

1:25:011:25:03

I know it. You got some fever, too.

1:25:031:25:04

I'm gonna build a fire

1:25:041:25:06

to keep you warm.

1:25:061:25:07

No. Can't make a fire.

1:25:071:25:10

Can't make fire.

1:25:101:25:11

1:25:201:25:22

I know the Crows may see it,

1:25:221:25:24

but we got to take a chance.

1:25:241:25:26

He won't make it if we don't.

1:25:261:25:27

There ain't no help for it.

1:25:271:25:29

There ain't no way to...

1:25:291:25:30

THEY SPEAK BLACKFOOT

1:26:041:26:09

Hi, Poordevil.

1:26:221:26:23

Where did you come from?

1:26:231:26:25

POORDEVIL SPEAKS BLACKFOOT

1:26:251:26:27

< RUSTLING

1:26:271:26:29

Well, I'll be dogged.

1:26:291:26:30

Never reckoned I'd be glad to see an Indian.

1:26:301:26:33

Where's the boat?

1:26:331:26:35

Mandan? The Mandan?

1:26:351:26:37

POORDEVIL SPEAKS BLACKFOOT

1:26:371:26:39

Yeah, yeah. I sure wish I could talk to you.

1:26:391:26:41

I don't know what Poordevil's sayin',

1:26:411:26:42

except we can't get back to the boat.

1:26:421:26:44

We got to get out of here.

1:26:441:26:46

As I see it, the best thing to do

1:26:461:26:48

is to find a place and hole up

1:26:481:26:50

till you're good enough to travel.

1:26:501:26:52

How come you brung her along?

1:26:521:26:54

I didn't. It was her own idea.

1:26:541:26:56

Best you take her with you. Leave Poordevil with me.

1:26:561:26:59

Can you walk a bit, or are we gonna have to carry you?

1:26:591:27:03

Take his gun, Poordevil, and go on ahead.

1:27:091:27:12

HE SPEAKS BLACKFOOT

1:27:271:27:29

BOONE: What's he sayin'?

1:27:291:27:32

You mean you want us to hide up there? Hide?

1:27:331:27:37

SHE SPEAKS BLACKFOOT

1:27:371:27:38

Let's go.

1:27:381:27:39

Let's see that leg.

1:28:251:28:27

It's bleedin' again.

1:28:281:28:30

Yeah, and you're cold, too.

1:28:301:28:32

Me and Poordevil will get some wood for a fire.

1:28:321:28:35

Then we'll get that bullet out.

1:28:351:28:37

Reckon you can take a little cuttin'?

1:28:371:28:39

Just get it out.

1:28:391:28:40

Come on, Poordevil.

1:28:401:28:42

Never seed a shot with marks on it like these.

1:28:431:28:46

Come from a bullet mould.

1:28:461:28:48

Can you see?

1:28:481:28:51

Yeah.

1:28:521:28:53

Glad to get it out of me.

1:28:541:28:57

Thanks for doin' it.

1:28:571:29:00

I never did thank you for comin' after me.

1:29:001:29:05

Ah, you'd best get some sleep.

1:29:051:29:07

Soon as it's dark, me and Poordevil

1:29:071:29:09

will go out and get us something to eat.

1:29:091:29:12

'They hid out in the cave

1:29:141:29:16

'for nigh onto a week,

1:29:161:29:18

'waitin' for Jim to get fit enough to travel.'

1:29:181:29:20

'To keep clear of Indians,

1:29:231:29:25

'they slept days and travelled nights,

1:29:251:29:28

'and each day, Jim's leg was a-gettin' better.'

1:29:281:29:30

(Hold that horse's nose.)

1:29:541:29:57

(Them ain't Indians.

1:30:041:30:05

(That's the fellas at the fort.)

1:30:051:30:07

(Yeah, it's Streak, all right.)

1:30:071:30:09

What would they be doin' up here?

1:30:181:30:19

I didn't tell you, but after I was shot,

1:30:191:30:21

afore you found me that night,

1:30:211:30:23

a bunch just like that rode past where I was hidin'.

1:30:231:30:25

They was lookin' for me.

1:30:251:30:27

I'd have swore one of them

1:30:271:30:29

was an Indian with a white feather in his hair.

1:30:291:30:30

No foolin'?

1:30:301:30:32

Now seein' sStreak ride by just the same,

1:30:321:30:34

I know it weren't no Indian - it was him.

1:30:341:30:36

Are you sure? Dead sure.

1:30:361:30:39

In Crow country.

1:30:391:30:40

Right amongst them.

1:30:401:30:41

They could be headed for the mandan.

1:30:411:30:43

We'll cross the river further up a piece.

1:30:431:30:45

Yeah.

1:30:451:30:47

Just like we figured.

1:31:261:31:27

Streak was headed for here, all right.

1:31:271:31:29

Yeah. We better find out what's up.

IMITATING BIRD CALL

1:31:321:31:33

Jourdonnais, you'll get a good price

1:31:331:31:35

for your trade goods and your whiskey.

1:31:351:31:37

A good price for you but not for me.

1:31:371:31:39

How are you gonna trade without the girl?

1:31:391:31:40

BIRD CALL

1:31:401:31:42

Bet you when he sees us,

1:31:451:31:47

the first thing he says is, "Well, I'll be dogged."

1:31:471:31:50

Well, I'll be... how'd you get here?

1:31:531:31:56

You lose.

1:31:561:31:57

I figured you was both dead.

1:31:571:31:59

Is the girl all right, too?

1:31:591:32:00

Right back there with Poordevil.

1:32:001:32:02

Well, I'll be dogged.

1:32:021:32:03

How'd you get here?

1:32:031:32:05

Tell you later. What's goin' on in there?

1:32:051:32:07

What's Streak doin' here?

1:32:071:32:08

Tryin' to buy Jourdonnais. Buy the boat,huh?

1:32:081:32:11

Lock, stock, and barrel.

1:32:111:32:12

And he was thinkin' of sellin', was he?

1:32:121:32:14

Losin' Teal Eye almost took

1:32:141:32:15

the heart out of him.

1:32:151:32:17

I think it would.

1:32:171:32:18

After you left, we had more trouble with the Indians.

1:32:181:32:20

The crew got jumpy and rattled.

1:32:201:32:22

Jourdonnais had to shoot one of them

1:32:221:32:24

to keep them from turnin' back.

1:32:241:32:25

That Frenchman's got plenty of sand.

1:32:251:32:27

Now Streak's sweet-talkin' him

1:32:271:32:29

about promises I know MacMasters ain't gonna keep.

1:32:291:32:31

I don't blame Frenchy...

1:32:311:32:32

How did Streak say him and his men got here?

1:32:321:32:34

Said they come up this side of the river.

1:32:341:32:35

Never set foot in Crow country.

1:32:351:32:37

He's a liar.

1:32:371:32:38

We seen him and his men cross the river from the south side.

1:32:381:32:40

Yeah, and they didn't see us.

1:32:401:32:42

The south side? Mm-hm.

1:32:421:32:43

They'd have had to come through Crow country.

1:32:431:32:45

They did, and they wasn't too careful about it neither.

1:32:451:32:46

Sure wasn't worried about what was around them.

1:32:461:32:48

He couldn't do that

1:32:481:32:50

unless'n he's in with the Crows.

1:32:501:32:51

He is.

1:32:511:32:53

Could mean he set them onto us

1:32:531:32:54

and started this whole mess.

1:32:541:32:56

Why, the polecat.

1:32:561:32:57

Hold it, Zeb.

1:32:571:32:58

Jim and me want to do this.

1:32:581:33:00

Reckon I don't blame you.

1:33:001:33:01

How many men's with him?

1:33:011:33:03

Four, asides hisself.

1:33:031:33:04

When we go in,

1:33:041:33:06

warn a couple of our men you can count on to back us up.

1:33:061:33:08

Don't start nothin' till we do it.

1:33:081:33:09

We just want to be sure about Streak.

1:33:091:33:10

How will you do that?

1:33:101:33:12

Got a bullet we took out of Jim's leg.

1:33:121:33:13

Could be we'll find another like it.

1:33:131:33:15

I'll tell Teal Eye to wait back here

1:33:151:33:17

out of trouble till we call.

1:33:171:33:19

ZEB SPEAKS BLACKFOOT

1:33:191:33:20

on any more of our men gettin' hurt.

1:33:241:33:27

JOURDONNAIS: This is everything I have.

1:33:311:33:33

STREAK: Now, MacMasters is tryin' to be your friend.

1:33:331:33:36

ZEB: Bring you a couple of men.

1:33:361:33:38

THEY ALL TALK AT ONCE

1:33:381:33:40

JOURDONNAIS: Where have you been? What happened?

1:33:401:33:41

There's plenty of time for that later.

1:33:411:33:43

These boys got something to talk about.

1:33:431:33:45

Oui.

1:33:451:33:47

Streak, you know these fellers, don't you?

1:33:471:33:49

Howdy, Streak.

1:33:491:33:51

Yeah, last time we seed him back at the fort,

1:33:511:33:53

he was after Poordevil.

1:33:531:33:54

I got riled, that Indian wantin' my scalp.

1:33:541:33:56

He's cracked in the head, don't make sense.

1:33:561:33:58

Does to me.

1:33:581:33:59

Mightn't be here if it weren't for him.

1:33:591:34:01

No use holdin' a grudge.

1:34:011:34:03

You licked us once.

1:34:031:34:04

Now your outfit's in trouble,

1:34:041:34:06

and we're just tryin' to help you.

1:34:061:34:07

How? Who you gonna trade with?

1:34:071:34:09

Crows on the warpath.

1:34:091:34:10

MacMasters sent us on to warn you. Couldn't catch up.

1:34:101:34:12

BOONE: Which side of the river

1:34:121:34:14

did you come up?

1:34:141:34:16

This side, of course. Why?

1:34:161:34:17

You was doin' all right with that gun.

1:34:171:34:19

Just keep leanin' on it.

1:34:191:34:21

You wasn't on the other side at all?

1:34:211:34:24

You reckon we're crazy?

1:34:241:34:25

Them Crow are mean when they cut loose.

1:34:251:34:28

I aim to keep my hair.

1:34:281:34:30

Sounds right, don't he?

1:34:301:34:32

Yeah, sounds that way.

1:34:321:34:34

Sure, with the Crow against you

1:34:341:34:35

and without the Indian girl,

1:34:351:34:37

who you gonna trade with?

1:34:371:34:38

Sure.

1:34:381:34:39

What are you gonna do with your cargo? Why not sell it?

1:34:391:34:42

One reason - cos the Indian girl ain't gone.

1:34:421:34:44

Ain't gone? Where is she?

1:34:441:34:45

Back there in the woods.

1:34:451:34:46

ZEB: Wouldn't have believed it myself...

1:34:461:34:48

Couldn't you hear good where you was?

1:34:481:34:50

Get back.

1:34:501:34:52

Now just listen.

1:34:531:34:55

That makes you wrong, don't it, Streak?

1:34:551:34:57

Well, looks like we can make a better deal than afore.

1:34:571:35:00

That could be, but afore you start makin' a deal,

1:35:001:35:02

we'd kind of like to see one of your rifle bullets.

1:35:021:35:04

Bullets?

1:35:041:35:05

JIM: You got some, ain't you?

1:35:051:35:06

Why, sure. I got some extra in my pack.

1:35:061:35:08

The one you're carryin' will do.

1:35:081:35:10

You're welcome to some. Joe.

1:35:101:35:11

Let's see just one.

1:35:111:35:13

Like as two peas in a pod.

1:35:381:35:41

Ain't a doubt of it.

1:35:411:35:42

STREAK: Wouldn't start nothin', if I was you.

1:35:421:35:44

- Sic 'em, Boone. - Aah!

1:35:441:35:46

These are the ones that sicced the Crows onto us.

1:35:591:36:03

They ain't deservin' of it,

1:36:031:36:05

but I reckon you'd better bury them.
