0:02:06 > 0:02:07Hello, Jim.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10It's hail and farewell, young Davey.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13A drink from your pa and a kiss from your mother,
0:02:13 > 0:02:14and I'm on my way.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Ma ain't here.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20That's why the wash hangs out all night? Where is she?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22She was sick a while.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26A good while if she let apples ripen on the tree.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29And then she...
0:02:29 > 0:02:30she died.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38And your pa?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40What about your pa?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43He's been sitting up there for I don't know how long.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Won't eat, won't move, and won't talk.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Maybe, er... maybe him and you
0:02:49 > 0:02:53better strike out up north with me for a winter of hunting.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Jim! You mean it? Huh?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Well, now... take the rest of these clothes in.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I'll go up and talk to your pa.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Mind if I say a few words, Big Davey?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I reckon you loved her, too, in your own way.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42I never reckoned I'd be as miserable as I was the day you won her,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44but now you lost her.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49She always thought to be buried in a proper graveyard.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Church singing and flowers.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11DOG GROWLS Leave go!
0:04:23 > 0:04:25What did he say?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Weeds around here grow as fast as...weeds.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29You ought to clear them out.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32They'll smother your mother's flower bed.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33We ain't going with you?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36You wouldn't want to grow up wild and woodsy,
0:04:36 > 0:04:37like a weed, would you?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Weeds grow faster and tougher than flowers.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Susan was afraid you would grow up woodsy,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45so she chose your pa instead of me.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I wouldn't want to change that.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51So I'll be back in the spring, Young Davey.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54You take care of your pa till then.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Bye, Jim.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Goodbye, Davey.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04HE SINGS A TUNE
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Pa, how long you going to carry on this way?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Davey, it looks to me like
0:05:34 > 0:05:37you ain't put soap 'n' water to your face in a week.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Reckon I could stand a shave myself.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57"Births and deaths."
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Back East, kinfolk gather round for funeral doings.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04You wouldn't know, Davey,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06but it makes the heart a lot easier.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Jim says why don't we all strike out north
0:06:08 > 0:06:10for a winter of hunting, maybe?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Dave, this is no time to go hunting.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I want you to write this in, careful-like.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16So you remember your ma.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Just say...

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Died October 15th...

0:06:48 > 0:06:50..of fever, aged 28.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55This is all you want in here?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Better add Northwest Territory.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04It's turning colder.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Get back! Back!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Now you stay back.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Davey?

0:09:30 > 0:09:32You come with me.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39You gave the cabin's-in-danger whistle, Pa.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40I did?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Where are we going?
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Saddle up.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Don't see no danger.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Blaze's liable to act up after being out all winter.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Hand me that halter.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52That's not cabin's-in-danger kind of danger.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Maybe not. Come on.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57You said I shouldn't use cabin's-in-danger whistle
0:09:57 > 0:09:59unless it was life and death danger.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01A cabin can be in danger in more ways than one.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Don't see no danger.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15We're proper farmers, Dave, not woodsy folk.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18A man goes bad if he can't have bread with his meals
0:10:18 > 0:10:21and a stitched garment on his back.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Hold him. Musket!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Your ma had reading and writing and music.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33The menfolk in our family were smiths, farmers,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35and maybe a doctor or preacher,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37but not no-account.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I'm going to be a hunter.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I'm going off to hunt and trade with Injuns.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Don't you ever say that again. Why not?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Because you're a Harvey,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49and there'll be a lady around the cabin.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Pa! Get cleaned up.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55We're riding to the stockade to get you a ma.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I won't have no other ma. The devil I will!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01You swear again, and I'll tan your hide.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Now, get!
0:11:02 > 0:11:04And don't forget your shoes.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Hey, Bob! Somebody wants to come across.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Look, Pa. If you was to want to change your mind and go home...
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I don't. Lead him on.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00I wonder what she'll be like.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Who?
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Your new wife.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Could be most anybody, I reckon.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Big and fat like Mrs Richter,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09or a scrawny old bag of bones like some.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I sure hope she don't whistle when she breathes
0:12:11 > 0:12:13if she's fat like Mrs Richter.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Davey, you chatter like a chipmunk.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17We gotta take whoever we can get to take you, Pa.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Welcome! Big Davey.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Howdy, Jed.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48Howdy.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Well, if it isn't big David Harvey.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Afternoon, Mrs Richter.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55And without Susan? Yes, ma'am.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Going to see the parson?
0:13:00 > 0:13:01I reckon.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I ain't so sure Parson Jackson will cotton to this, Pa.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Yeah. Me neither.

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Who is it?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Up above you, heavenwards.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Oh, Brother Harvey.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's a long while since you're out of the woods.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Tell me, what brings you? How goes the planting?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26How's my little beauty Susan?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Parson, could I have a word with you, private?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Ah...
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Marthy! Come brew a pot of sassafras
0:13:36 > 0:13:37for Brother Harvey.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Will of the Lord. I'll speak a word Sunday.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44They put it into the Bible, proper.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46What do you plan to do?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49I told myself to raise the boy the way she wanted -
0:13:49 > 0:13:51proper raising with Bible reading and writing.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53You told yourself right.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Only, a man with 30 acres cleared, 100 more to clear
0:13:57 > 0:13:59and crops to be put in, meat to be hunted,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01can't raise a boy proper.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Reckon not.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04You need a wife.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09A-ha!
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Oh, I've been fighting it!
0:14:12 > 0:14:15It's easier spoken of than did, Sister Jackson.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Unless you wait for new womenfolk from back East.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21My mind's set. I'd rather not wait. There might be none.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23There's the widow Richter. Parson Jackson!
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Brother David didn't say he wanted beauty. He needs a wife.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29We could wait for Millie Flan to grow up.
0:14:29 > 0:14:3115's a might too young to take on a widower's responsibilities.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33There's Goody Cosgrove.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35And five kids to go with her.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Parson, you're a fool.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39When a man chooses a ma for his boy,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41he wants a woman with experience.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Pa and me can get along.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45The bondwoman.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49I hadn't heard about bond servants in these parts.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Mr Green got her for 1,000 bushels of parched corn
0:14:52 > 0:14:54from traders last autumn.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56There was only one woman there.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Young Matt's got married since.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Mrs Green doesn't need anyone.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03You could get this bondwoman at a bargain price.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08Yeah, sure. I could buy a bond servant instead of a wife.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10I was thinking she'd make a fine wife.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Decent church folk don't live together
0:15:12 > 0:15:14under the same roof without marriage.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16No. Sure not.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18You're not only getting a wife and mother...
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I don't want any other mother!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22You're buying someone out of servitude.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Such things ain't forgot later on, Brother David.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Yeah, but I... Put pride behind thee.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32You ain't wedding for love, but to have a woman at home.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35That's true... I'll go with you, make the bargain.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Ma, you come along, too. There's human female questions
0:15:38 > 0:15:39I ain't prepared to handle.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Run to the store before it closes and see if anything came in.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Now, get!
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Well, hello, Young Davey.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03You holding anything for us from the east?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Sit and rest, son.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06I'm in a hurry.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09You young'uns are in a hurry anywheres,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11even on the fiery side of nowhere.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Three months by sea, five by land and river,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16three months sitting here, and he's in a hurry.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21What's your hurry, son? I can't tell you.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22There you be, Mr Impatient.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25All the way from Paris...France.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26I wonder what it is.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Thank you, Mr Gallus.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Oh, I forgot.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Mind you don't sell all them sugar hearts.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Pa promised me some sugar hearts.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I'll put some aside for you.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Thank you, Mr Gallus.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50You wouldn't like for me to take one on account?
0:16:50 > 0:16:51On account of what?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54MEN LAUGH
0:16:54 > 0:16:56On account I ain't had one in so long
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I forgot what they taste like.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Here. Skedaddle.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Thank you, Mr Gallus!
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Well, Big Davey, $18 now and 4 in the fall.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21I want a profit, not a loss.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24DAVEY: Suppose I pay $3.00 this fall.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26$18 now, 4 later.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27I can't afford any more.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Come out here, girl, where he can see you.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I stitched her two dresses.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33She didn't have anything.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34$4.00.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I'll give up my fees, Brother Harvey.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Give him his flesh money and I'll marry you for nothing.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Marriage!
0:17:48 > 0:17:49All right.
0:17:49 > 0:17:5118 now and 4 next fall.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Done! I'll take it.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55How old is she?
0:17:55 > 0:17:5725. And good health.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Except she talks to herself.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Do you talk to yourself?
0:18:06 > 0:18:07I guess I do.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10What's your name, girl?
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Rachel.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Rachel.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Well, let's get along.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Ceremony will be first thing in the morning.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22You're welcome to stay at the parsonage with us, Brother Harvey.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Thank you. Get yourself a wife, Pa?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Yeah...I reckon so.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Kinda thin, but...
0:18:30 > 0:18:31not bad lookin'.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37We're gathered together in the sight of the Lord
0:18:37 > 0:18:39to join this man and woman in holy matrimony.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41If anybody has any reason
0:18:41 > 0:18:44why these two should not be joined together,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47let him speak now or forever hold his peace.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Rachel, do you take this man
0:18:50 > 0:18:53to be thy lawful wedded husband? I do.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Do you take this woman, Rachel, to be thy lawful wedded wife?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58(I do.)
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Speak up. I do.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Put the ring on her finger.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07By the power of the voice
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I try to bring into this wilderness,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12I hereby pronounce you man and wife.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Oughtn't we be getting on, Pa?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I reckon the stock needs watering.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22I'll fetch the horse.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Give this young'un his Bible teachings.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Thanks for the use of the ring, Mrs Jackson.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I'll walk you to Mrs Green's for your things, Rachel.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44David Harvey's decent and hard-working.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46He ain't gonna be impatient.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I think I can make him a good wife. I do too, girl.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I trust you'll be tolerant
0:19:53 > 0:19:56easing this girl into her duties.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Oh, yeah. Of course.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01I've seen love take seed in rockier ground than this,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04but sometimes it takes tender cultivation.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I ain't anxious in that direction on account of Susan.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Don't expect more than you would of a bondwoman.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Well, Blaze only rides two.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17If one of them's Dave...
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Is it fitting a bondwoman should ride and you walk?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I'm used to walking.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26It ain't fitting a woman should ride astraddle.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29No need to ride to the barge.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Thanks, Parson. Goodbye.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Goodbye, Mr Harvey. The Lord be with you.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Goodbye, Rachel.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I hope we did the right thing.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Amen, Marthy.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Good luck, Big Davey!
0:20:53 > 0:20:55My second one was skinny, too.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Pa, what's a bondwoman, exactly?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Well, er...
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Maybe she could say better than me.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I-I'd rather hear what you think.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Is it like a slave?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Well, you do have to put out money for both of them.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Ain't that so?
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Yes.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Difference is that, well... slave don't get no pay,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28but a bond servant can get enough money
0:21:28 > 0:21:31to pay her worth. And she can buy herself out.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Where'll she get the money if you don't give it to her?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Well, that's true, too.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Then where's the difference?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Well... The difference is that...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40You'd better say.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I was going to say the difference is that
0:21:42 > 0:21:43I couldn't leave anyhow.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Why not?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Because I'm your wife now, too.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Oh...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I'm hungry, Pa.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Well, so am I.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13You've got to take care of Blaze first.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20DOGS BARK AND GROWL
0:22:29 > 0:22:31You must be hungry yourself.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I'll go first and light the light.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Out of here! Go on. Get out. Get out. Get out.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42DOG HOWLS
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Hush up, Musket!
0:22:44 > 0:22:46You'll find things in kind of a mess.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53If you tell me where I should put my belongings, I'll make supper.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Er, there's only one room besides this one.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Put your things there.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Maybe you can sleep in the loft.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Pa, this here parcel was meant for Ma.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Put it inside and save it till after supper.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Stock needs feeding.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39"Susan Harvey."
0:23:46 > 0:23:47I don't understand it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50It ticks to and fro, regular as music.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52That's what it is. Music box?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55No. Your ma wanted some contraption
0:23:55 > 0:23:57to give you music lessons by.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I guess I won't get no music lessons now.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14We took a lot of trouble bringing this spinet here.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16It belonged to her pa.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Drug it by boat, by wagon, finally by sledge,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22all the way from the stockade.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Davey and Jim Fairways and me cleared a path the whole way.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37A little music after supper is a mighty proud thing.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Do you recollect, Davey?
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Uh-huh.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47METRONOME TICKS
0:24:48 > 0:24:51If you close your eyes and listen to that ticking,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54you can almost hear her playing.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58TICKING CONTINUES
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Pa, I'll never love any other woman like I did Ma.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Go to sleep, Davey.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Goodnight, Pa.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Goodnight.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Oh. You'd better turn in.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I'll put up by the fire for the time being.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30TICKING
0:27:46 > 0:27:48CHICKENS SQUAWK LOUDLY
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Mr Harvey!
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Davey!
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Go away!
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Shoo! Shoo!
0:28:19 > 0:28:20I hope you're loaded
0:28:20 > 0:28:22and I hope you know what you're doing.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Sounds like the new girl is finally up and about.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Better go take a look.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Guess I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Ma could shoot anything.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00It's not so good, me not being able to shoot, huh?
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Susan could take care of herself,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05but I reckon with you, it'll be different.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Reckon she can't even whistle.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11We got a cabin's-in-danger whistle. I'll show you.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13LOUD WHISTLE
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Oh!
0:29:15 > 0:29:16You try it once. Go ahead.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Er, like this?
0:29:22 > 0:29:24SHE BLOWS
0:29:24 > 0:29:25Ohhh...!
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Try it with two fingers.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Like this, under your tongue.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34HE WHISTLES LOUDLY
0:29:36 > 0:29:39That was good, Davey. You'll get on to it.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42I'll learn. Maybe you could help me, Davey.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Come on, Pistol!
0:29:44 > 0:29:47He'll come around, by and by.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48I'll get breakfast now. Had it.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Oh...then I'll get right to the milking.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53I done it. Firewood? Yep.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05You'll need a spell to come to know what's expected.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Oh, you mean chores?
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Yeah.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11It's more than just chores, I reckon.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12Yeah, I reckon.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14I expected so, Mr Harvey.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15It's, er...
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Well, it's...it's appearances. Yeah?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22It ain't easy to speak of,
0:30:22 > 0:30:25but we might as well talk about it now,
0:30:25 > 0:30:27and we won't have to go over it later.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30There was something special about us - about me, that is.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32The way I look at it,
0:30:32 > 0:30:36building a home site ain't just doing what you got to do.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39There used to be a flower garden here.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41She was going to lay some flat stones
0:30:41 > 0:30:43so the floor wouldn't get tracked up. That's nice.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44It's just a cabin,
0:30:44 > 0:30:48but it's got a cellar like a house - a foundation.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50It's like giving the boy
0:30:50 > 0:30:53reading and writing and arithmetic,
0:30:53 > 0:30:55saying grace before meals.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57It's keeping up appearances
0:30:57 > 0:31:00no matter how deep you get in the wilderness.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01I understand.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Is that all?
0:31:06 > 0:31:10I reckon you'll have trouble with your hands at first.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13And it ain't fitting that you're so frail.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16You ought to fill out a little. I'll see to it, Mr Harvey.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17You sure got a mess of hair.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23That's all I got to say.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Except one other thing.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31At noontime, Susan used to come down to the fields where I was clearing.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35That's what I was wondering about mostly.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39What's that? Whether I was just expected to do chores
0:31:39 > 0:31:42and give the boy his schooling... Yeah, sure.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Or was more expected?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Well, you know, other things like...
0:31:45 > 0:31:48like comfort and knowing your moods
0:31:48 > 0:31:50and planning things together.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Well, things a bond servant wouldn't likely do,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56like going out in the fields to see your husband.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59The only reason Susan came out was to bring me my meal.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I'll...I'll bring your meal, Mr Harvey.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10PISTOL BARKS
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Good morning! Maybe.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29WHISTLING Morning, Davey!
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Come on, Pistol! PISTOL BARKS
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Whoa!
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Must have most of this cleared!
0:32:38 > 0:32:39Yeah.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Well...
0:32:42 > 0:32:44I'll be gettin' on back.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Come on!
0:32:53 > 0:32:54Come on, Pistol!
0:32:54 > 0:32:56PISTOL BARKS
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Evenin'. Did you have a good day?
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Yeah.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07Are you hungry?
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Are you hungry, Mr Harvey?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Yeah.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12That's good.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Goodnight, Mr Harvey.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50ROOSTER CROWS
0:33:55 > 0:33:58It don't seem fitting, Pa.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59What don't?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01It always seemed to me
0:34:01 > 0:34:04the master of the house ought to have the best place,
0:34:04 > 0:34:05instead of on the floor. Yeah?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07If she was to take the loft,
0:34:07 > 0:34:08we could share the room like last winter.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13She's got little enough comfort, Davey.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Come on, Pistol.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Good morning to you, too(!)
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Now, don't go talking to yourself.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Even if he don't open his mouth for months on end,
0:34:38 > 0:34:40don't start talking to yourself.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42It ain't fitting.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09You're the one.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Maybe if I could get to know you,
0:35:11 > 0:35:13and through you, the boy,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15and through the boy, his pa...
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Talking to a gun ain't like talking to yourself.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19If I could just learn to handle you
0:35:19 > 0:35:21without anybody hearing...
0:35:42 > 0:35:44GUNSHOT
0:35:57 > 0:36:00GUNSHOT
0:36:17 > 0:36:19I hit the candle.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Hmm! Pretty good if we'd meant it.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Rachel? Yes, Mr Harvey?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28How's the boy's schooling?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Well, he's bright.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Pa, did you hear anything queer today?
0:36:38 > 0:36:41I meant to ask. Did you hear it?
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Hear what?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Sounded like one time back home
0:36:45 > 0:36:47when a jug of cider busted open in the attic.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Sound comes from the north, I reckon. I reckoned southerly.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Someone shooting in the next valley, I reckon.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55I reckon. Yeah, I reckon.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Come on. Get over there and jump through.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03That's it.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Come on. Over. Over. Jump over it! Jump over.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09All right, Davey. Schooling time.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Jump over it, Pistol.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13Come on. Jump through.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19Davey!
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Why the devil won't you leave me alone?
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Please don't swear. Your pa don't like it.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29I'll swear like I want to, Rachel.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31You ain't going to tell me to not.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33I want you to know something.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36I ain't trying to steal your ma's place.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38You better shouldn't. Not with you nor with your pa.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41You couldn't if you wanted. I know.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43It's going to seem mighty queer to Jim.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Who is Jim?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Jim Fairways. A friend of the family.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49What will seem queer to him?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Me in the loft, Pa on the floor,
0:37:52 > 0:37:54with you taking the best room to yourself.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57It ain't fitting? No, it ain't.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Think I ought to take the loft?
0:38:00 > 0:38:04When Jim comes, maybe Pa will listen to him.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Maybe so, but in meantime, I got to do my chores.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11I got to do what's expected - teach you your schooling
0:38:11 > 0:38:12and try to keep cheerful.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15One reason your pa wanted me here
0:38:15 > 0:38:17so I could sort of mother you.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20The devil it was! You're a bond slave, that's all!
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Pa bought you.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24I seen him when he paid your price!
0:38:24 > 0:38:26You was 18 dollars and 4 owing!
0:38:27 > 0:38:30You can go out today without your schooling.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Zowee! Come on, Pistol!
0:38:32 > 0:38:34PISTOL BARKS
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Come on, Pistol!
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Mr Harvey?
0:38:58 > 0:38:59Is right here all right?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Well, hello, Musket.
0:39:06 > 0:39:07MUSKET GROWLS
0:39:08 > 0:39:10It takes Musket a while
0:39:10 > 0:39:12to get along with strangers.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13How long do you think it'll take?
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Er, Mr Harvey...
0:39:17 > 0:39:21I've been concerned about your sleeping by the fireplace.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25No need to be concerned about that. Oh.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Of course, when I was at the Greens',
0:39:28 > 0:39:30I did sleep in the loft.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32I hadn't thought about that.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Davey and me could share the big bed,
0:39:35 > 0:39:36and nobody would sleep on the floor.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39It would be more fitting, huh?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Sure. You're up first with the milking and breakfast.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42That's right.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46You know, that way,
0:39:46 > 0:39:48maybe the boy would be less resentful to you.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49Maybe.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54I'll see to it this afternoon, Mr Harvey.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07You been by the cabin, Dave?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Been hunting.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11No smoke from the chimney.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Supper fire ought to be up by now.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14You seen Rachel since schooling?
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Didn't have no schooling today, Pa.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19What's that? TURKEY GOBBLES
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Can I take your gun for one crack at that old turkey gobbler?
0:40:22 > 0:40:23How come you had no schooling?
0:40:25 > 0:40:27I want you to answer me, Davey.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30She said I could go out without no schooling.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33GOBBLING CONTINUES Just one shot at him, Pa.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Gobbler's meat'd taste mighty good for supper.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38What is it, Pa?
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Only an old gobbler.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Gobbler call is the Shawnee signal.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Be quiet.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50GOBBLING CONTINUES
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Ha-ha-ha!
0:41:06 > 0:41:10If I really was a Shawnee, I'd be hanging two fine scalps
0:41:10 > 0:41:13on my belt about now. Been a long spell.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Got a word of welcome for an old friend?
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Jim, the devil himself wouldn't consider that a fitting joke.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22I ain't acquainted with the gentleman.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25It ain't fitting for a man to talk about schooling
0:41:25 > 0:41:27when he hears a Shawnee call.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28There's signs of Shawnee up north.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31That ain't a joke, Jim. No, it ain't.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36It's been a fine year without any trouble of that sort.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Trouble comes when you don't least expect it.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Let's get this deer off the horse's back and in our bellies.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53That ought to be enough meat to hold you for a while.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56It must get pretty lonely for you, Big Davey,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59out here in the deep woods with no womenfolk.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01It is and it ain't, Jim.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04It ain't proper to raise a boy without womenfolk. No.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07A man can't hardly live without them either,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10'less he wants to grow up wild and woodsy.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Trying to talk yourself into something?
0:42:12 > 0:42:14It's a fact, Big Davey.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16I got an itch to live within four walls.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20I figure to get me a wife and maybe a piece of land.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23That ain't another joke, is it, Jim?
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Who's that?
0:42:30 > 0:42:31That?
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Her. Oh, her name's Rachel.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35Rachel.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39She's a bondwoman I bought from Matt Green.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Had to have a woman around the place. Uh-huh.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Can't raise a boy proper. Uh-huh.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Serving girl? No.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Kinfolk? No.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Just a bondwoman, huh?
0:42:53 > 0:42:57Bondwoman or no, decent folk can't live together
0:42:57 > 0:42:58without taking in marriage.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Oh, you took her in marriage.
0:43:03 > 0:43:04Come on in and set.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Rachel, this here is Jim Fairways. You've heard his name.
0:43:17 > 0:43:18That I have.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23How do you do, Mrs Harvey?
0:43:26 > 0:43:27How do you do?
0:43:31 > 0:43:33Davey, fetch the jug out of the barn.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36PISTOL BARKS
0:43:36 > 0:43:38Big Davey, it looks like
0:43:38 > 0:43:41you've got just about everything a man could want.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43You enjoy the idea of marriage?
0:43:43 > 0:43:45I'm tracking it like a wild critter.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48I congratulate the lady. She ain't trapped yet.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50You won't have any trouble. I ain't so sure.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Well, now that we're down to honest talk,
0:43:55 > 0:43:57is Big Davey the all-devastative,
0:43:57 > 0:43:59devoted husband he makes himself out to be?
0:43:59 > 0:44:01If he ain't, you're a powerful good cook,
0:44:01 > 0:44:03and I'm in a settling humour.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06Thought you might like something to eat.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08That's mighty considerate, ma'am.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Yeah. Thanks, Rachel.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15Don't go away, Mrs Harvey. Sit down.
0:44:15 > 0:44:16Yeah. Set, Rachel.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21Davey, you and me ever sing The Hunter's Song? No.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24You play the spinet, Mrs Harvey? No. Yes, I do.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29You never mentioned you could do that. You never asked me.
0:44:29 > 0:44:30It's been a long time.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33Well, you can chord, can't you? I think I can.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Now, everything I say you say, "just like me".
0:44:39 > 0:44:41That's all there is to it.
0:44:43 > 0:44:44# There once was a hunter
0:44:44 > 0:44:45# Just like me
0:44:45 > 0:44:47# Thought he'd go a-hunting
0:44:47 > 0:44:48BOTH: # Just like me
0:44:48 > 0:44:49# Took up his musket Just like me
0:44:49 > 0:44:51# And he set out at sunset Just like me
0:44:54 > 0:44:55# He was strong as an ox
0:44:55 > 0:44:57# And tall as a tree and smart as a fox
0:44:57 > 0:44:58# Just like me
0:45:00 > 0:45:02# He climbed up the mountain Just like me
0:45:02 > 0:45:04# Biggest, highest mountain Just like me
0:45:04 > 0:45:07# Felt a little thirsty Just like me
0:45:07 > 0:45:09# Found a fresh spring a-bubblin' Just like me
0:45:09 > 0:45:11# Bended down to drink some just like me
0:45:11 > 0:45:12# When he looked in the pool
0:45:12 > 0:45:14# What did he see?
0:45:14 > 0:45:15# Swell-headed mule
0:45:15 > 0:45:17# Just like me
0:45:17 > 0:45:20# Now what you say is entirely true
0:45:20 > 0:45:22# A swell-headed mule
0:45:22 > 0:45:23# Just like you... # You!
0:45:23 > 0:45:26THEY LAUGH
0:45:34 > 0:45:36THEY HUM
0:45:37 > 0:45:41# Dee-dee-dee, da-da-da-dum
0:45:43 > 0:45:49# Oh, the orchard blossoms ripen
0:45:49 > 0:45:54# Into fruits so round
0:45:54 > 0:45:56# And sweet
0:45:57 > 0:46:03# As with nature in her garden
0:46:03 > 0:46:07# So it is with all and one
0:46:09 > 0:46:12# Love may blossom
0:46:12 > 0:46:14# In the springtime
0:46:15 > 0:46:19# But it blooms
0:46:19 > 0:46:23# With summer sun
0:46:25 > 0:46:30# As with nature in her garden
0:46:30 > 0:46:32# Full with life
0:46:32 > 0:46:35# The days are long
0:46:35 > 0:46:38# Soft the evenings pass to... #
0:46:38 > 0:46:40RAPID TICKING
0:46:43 > 0:46:45I-I didn't mean to interrupt your singing.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50You know any more funny songs, Jim?
0:46:50 > 0:46:53I know a million of them. But I better be on my way
0:46:53 > 0:46:55if I'm to make the stockade before morning.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58Sure you won't spend the night, Jim?
0:46:58 > 0:47:00No, thank you, Big Davey.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02When a man craves marrying, it doesn't do to pause along the way.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06Too many things liable to start turning over in a man's mind.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11So long, Big Davey. Goodbye, Jim.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13Pleasure meeting you, Mrs Harvey. A pleasure meeting you, Mr Fairways.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15You're always welcome, Jim.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17Bye, Jim.
0:47:17 > 0:47:18Drop around any time.
0:47:18 > 0:47:19I'll do that thing.
0:47:19 > 0:47:20After you get settled.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25HE WHISTLES
0:47:30 > 0:47:33Well, I...guess I'll bring in the wood for the morning.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37Davey, go to bed. Rachel?
0:47:37 > 0:47:38Come on, Pistol.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40How is it you never mentioned being musical?
0:47:40 > 0:47:42You never asked.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44You said that before. That's right.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49That ain't what I wanted to talk about. Oh?
0:47:49 > 0:47:51Was Jim Fairways, er...
0:47:51 > 0:47:54offensive to you this evening? Why, no.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57No, I thought he was mighty nice...
0:47:57 > 0:47:58and cheerful.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02Being the way he is,
0:48:02 > 0:48:04he seems to take on around women.
0:48:04 > 0:48:05Oh?
0:48:05 > 0:48:07I just hoped he wasn't offensive. Oh, no.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Even with Susan he used to...
0:48:11 > 0:48:13That ain't what I wanted to talk about neither.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18Then what is it, Mr Harvey?
0:48:18 > 0:48:22Well...sometimes I don't think I rightly understand people.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27Davey tells me you didn't give him his lessons today.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30No, I didn't. Well, why not?
0:48:30 > 0:48:32Cos he said I was nothing but a bondwoman.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Was the hurt of that so that you couldn't school him?
0:48:38 > 0:48:40It was the way he said it.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45I reckon I'll get me a drink of water.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47Hard liquor leaves you thirsty.
0:48:54 > 0:48:55Where'd you learn music at?
0:48:55 > 0:48:59My pa. Your pa schooled folks in music?
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Yeah. And other things.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04Guess that's why he died in debt.
0:49:04 > 0:49:05Don't pay very well.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08You got bound into service for your pa's debts?
0:49:08 > 0:49:09That's right.
0:49:09 > 0:49:13I never knew. I reckon I never asked.
0:49:13 > 0:49:14I reckon.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16You can play any time you feel like it.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18Well, thank you, Mr Harvey(!)
0:49:18 > 0:49:20I didn't mean it that way.
0:49:22 > 0:49:26I'll see the boy gets music lessons, too, if you want.
0:49:26 > 0:49:27May as well give you a hand.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31Thank you.
0:49:31 > 0:49:34I, er, I think I'll get me a drink, too.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Salt pork leaves you thirsty.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Oh, look, there's a shooting star!
0:49:42 > 0:49:43Yeah.
0:49:43 > 0:49:45Lots of them up here this time of year.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47Pretty. Yeah.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53Stars seem so close to you up here.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55It's funny how people get separated
0:49:55 > 0:49:58with miles in between them.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01Don't seem right. No, it don't.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04DOOR OPENS
0:50:04 > 0:50:06I told you to get to bed.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09I'm thirsty.
0:50:10 > 0:50:12I reckon it was the singing.
0:50:21 > 0:50:22Night.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28I suppose singing does make you thirsty,
0:50:28 > 0:50:30like salt pork and hard liquor.
0:50:37 > 0:50:41Your hair looks sort of blue in the moonlight.
0:50:41 > 0:50:43The moon does funny things. It...
0:50:46 > 0:50:48I never looked at your face so close on.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53I didn't have it pictured clear in my mind...
0:50:53 > 0:50:56I mean, what it'd be like getting married again.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00I was thinking mostly of the chores
0:51:00 > 0:51:01and the boy and...
0:51:04 > 0:51:07But I reckon there's more to it than I reckoned.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12There should be talking to each other,
0:51:12 > 0:51:13respect...
0:51:15 > 0:51:17Maybe even...
0:51:17 > 0:51:19SHARP WHISTLING
0:51:21 > 0:51:23TICKING
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Where is the danger, Davey?
0:51:25 > 0:51:27You told me yourself
0:51:27 > 0:51:31cabin can be in danger in more ways than one.
0:51:31 > 0:51:32Go to bed, Dave.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34Aren't you coming? I said go to bed.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44TICKING STOPS
0:51:44 > 0:51:46I'm sorry, Rachel. I know.
0:51:47 > 0:51:48He was very fond of Susan.
0:51:50 > 0:51:51Well, of course.
0:51:53 > 0:51:54Rachel, I...
0:51:54 > 0:51:57I reckon I ain't ready to fall in love yet.
0:51:59 > 0:52:00Hmm.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Where are you going? To fetch the wood.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06You turn in. I'll get it.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36Piggy, piggy, piggy!

0:53:23 > 0:53:24What happened, Jim?
0:53:24 > 0:53:26If seeing store-bought clothes is funny,
0:53:26 > 0:53:29you may not want this store-bought tobacco
0:53:29 > 0:53:30for your pipe.
0:53:30 > 0:53:31A pipe and tobacco go together,
0:53:31 > 0:53:35but you and that parson's outfit... Bring me anything?
0:53:35 > 0:53:38Here's a few sugar hearts. Thanks.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40And, er... And what?
0:53:40 > 0:53:42Little something for your music schooling.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44What brings you back?
0:53:44 > 0:53:45Forgot my guitar.
0:53:45 > 0:53:49Couldn't start wife-hunting without my guitar.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52Staying tonight? DAVEY PLAYS
0:53:52 > 0:53:54DAVEY PLAYS BADLY Staying tonight?
0:53:54 > 0:53:57If, er, Mrs Harvey don't mind.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59She don't.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01Do you, Rachel?
0:54:01 > 0:54:04It's a joy. I took the liberty, ma'am -
0:54:04 > 0:54:06if it's acceptable to you -
0:54:06 > 0:54:09a little go-to-meetin' dress,
0:54:09 > 0:54:13in token for your caring for my two boys.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16Is it fitting I should accept gifts, Mr Harvey?
0:54:16 > 0:54:19I reckon so. Thank you, Mr Fairways.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21I figured for sometime after supper
0:54:21 > 0:54:23when you sit at the spinet.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32# Once was a man, a hateful man

0:55:16 > 0:55:17It's the Sabbath.
0:55:23 > 0:55:26These here from last fortnight are still fresh.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28Hadn't realised you'd been with us a fortnight already.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30Oh, more than that.
0:55:30 > 0:55:32Can I go swimming, Pa?
0:55:32 > 0:55:33Yeah, I reckon.
0:55:41 > 0:55:42Come on, Pistol!
0:55:48 > 0:55:50Pistol! Come on, boy!
0:55:54 > 0:55:55Lookee there, Big Davey.

0:56:00 > 0:56:01GUNSHOT
0:56:03 > 0:56:05Listen, Pa. I heard it again.
0:56:06 > 0:56:07Yeah, it's queer.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12Reckon it's Shawnee, Pa?
0:56:12 > 0:56:14Probably nothing but some old squatter.
0:56:14 > 0:56:16Queer sound to it. I can't make it out.
0:56:16 > 0:56:19Probably somebody shooting in some other valley,
0:56:19 > 0:56:21and all you get's the echo.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24Don't seem right, Rachel at the cabin alone.
0:56:24 > 0:56:25To set your mind at rest,
0:56:25 > 0:56:28I'll scout around on the other side of the valley.
0:56:28 > 0:56:29See you at dinner.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31Ma could've took care of herself.
0:56:31 > 0:56:32Yeah. Get your clothes on.
0:56:41 > 0:56:42Got your new dress on.
0:56:42 > 0:56:44Ain't you afraid you'll get it all wore out?
0:56:44 > 0:56:46It's the Sabbath.
0:56:46 > 0:56:47Oh.
0:56:59 > 0:57:00Dinner ready? Yes.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04Where's Mr Fairways?
0:57:04 > 0:57:05He'll be along. Oh.
0:57:09 > 0:57:10For the food we're about to receive,
0:57:10 > 0:57:13the Lord make us grateful. Amen. Amen.
0:57:13 > 0:57:16Remember the last time I wore this outfit?
0:57:16 > 0:57:17Yes, I do.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19It's been more than a fortnight.
0:57:19 > 0:57:22It certainly has. It's been an age.
0:57:22 > 0:57:23I didn't mean that.
0:57:23 > 0:57:26Oh. Well, what's been more than a fortnight?
0:57:26 > 0:57:28Since he's been visiting. Jim.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30It don't seem like it.
0:57:30 > 0:57:32Must make considerable more chores for you.
0:57:32 > 0:57:34He's generous about helping out.
0:57:34 > 0:57:36Not to speak of winter coming on.
0:57:36 > 0:57:38Well, not till after autumn.
0:57:38 > 0:57:40He said we're going hunting all next week.
0:57:40 > 0:57:43Oh? He may not be here next week.
0:57:43 > 0:57:44Stop eating like a pig.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46He's learning the boy woodsy ways.
0:57:46 > 0:57:48Not a sign, folks.
0:57:49 > 0:57:50Not a sign.
0:57:50 > 0:57:52Can't figure it out,
0:57:52 > 0:57:54unless there's a ghost around these parts.
0:57:55 > 0:57:58Say, you're kind of slicked out, ain't you, Big Davey?
0:57:58 > 0:58:00It's the Sabbath.
0:58:00 > 0:58:01No sign of anyone shooting?
0:58:01 > 0:58:03Nope. Nothing to be seen on the surface.
0:58:03 > 0:58:06Let me help you with that, Mrs Harvey.
0:58:06 > 0:58:08Oh. Thank you, Mr Fairways.
0:58:08 > 0:58:11You know something, Big Davey? You and me ain't hunted a fox yet.
0:58:11 > 0:58:13Let's test those hound dogs' voices.
0:58:13 > 0:58:15How about a week Saturday?
0:58:15 > 0:58:18Well, why wait so long?
0:58:18 > 0:58:20No hurry. I'll be around.
0:58:26 > 0:58:28SHE HUMS "The Hunter's Song"
0:58:31 > 0:58:34# Looked in the pool, and what did he see
0:58:34 > 0:58:35# A beautiful girl... #
0:58:35 > 0:58:38That's where you come in. I thought you'd gone hunting.
0:58:38 > 0:58:40I figured these garments need washing.
0:58:40 > 0:58:42Put them down. I'll do them for you.
0:58:42 > 0:58:45Don't want to add to your chores, ma'am.
0:58:45 > 0:58:47Seems Big Davey's already took care of that.
0:58:47 > 0:58:49It ain't really the washing.
0:58:49 > 0:58:52I...been trying to get you alone for quite a spell...
0:58:52 > 0:58:56Only Big Davey seems a mite miserly with your time and company.
0:59:01 > 0:59:02I think you and me got a secret.
0:59:05 > 0:59:07That's why I figured it might be profitable
0:59:07 > 0:59:08if we had a little talk in private.
0:59:11 > 0:59:13I don't think it would be very profitable for you.
0:59:13 > 0:59:17I'd rather you just went to Mr Harvey with your discovery.
0:59:17 > 0:59:21I only thought you could do with some advice on shooting, ma'am.
0:59:23 > 0:59:25You're losing your laundry, Mr Fairways.
0:59:41 > 0:59:44Here. I'll do it for you.
0:59:46 > 0:59:48First time I heard that shooting,
0:59:48 > 0:59:50I figured it might be you. Why?
0:59:50 > 0:59:53Susan took to the musket just like a minuteman.
0:59:53 > 0:59:55Now, why should I...
0:59:55 > 0:59:57Well, just because Susan could shoot...
0:59:57 > 0:59:59You're so much a pair in every other way,
0:59:59 > 1:00:01including a husband.
1:00:01 > 1:00:03No reason it shouldn't be the same with a rifle.
1:00:03 > 1:00:05But I don't hardly know how to shoot.
1:00:05 > 1:00:07Figured that.
1:00:07 > 1:00:09Then I don't know what you mean, Mr Fairways.
1:00:09 > 1:00:11I mean you're setting out to prove
1:00:11 > 1:00:14you're just as good as Susan Harvey any day, any way.
1:00:14 > 1:00:17All I mean is, I think you two
1:00:17 > 1:00:19ought to be friends instead of rivals.
1:00:19 > 1:00:21You'd have liked each other fine.
1:00:23 > 1:00:24What was she like?
1:00:24 > 1:00:26Oh, like you, mostly.
1:00:26 > 1:00:28How?
1:00:28 > 1:00:30Practical. Patient. Pure. Pretty.
1:00:30 > 1:00:32Maybe even beautiful.
1:00:32 > 1:00:34Oh. Smart, too.
1:00:34 > 1:00:35Smarter than me or Big Davey.
1:00:35 > 1:00:36She must have been.
1:00:39 > 1:00:42We both thought she'd marry me, but I never gave up hope.
1:00:42 > 1:00:45If she'd left Big Davey, I'd have married her in a minute.
1:00:48 > 1:00:49I'm getting better.
1:00:49 > 1:00:51You're pulling to the right.
1:00:51 > 1:00:54Yeah, I know. Comes of jerking the trigger.
1:00:54 > 1:00:55Don't you have to?
1:00:55 > 1:00:59No. You squeeze it, sort of easy and gentle.
1:00:59 > 1:01:03Sort of...caressing, like...holding hands.
1:01:05 > 1:01:07I think it's near time for Davey's lessons.
1:01:07 > 1:01:11I'm sure in need of a little schooling, Mrs Harvey.
1:01:11 > 1:01:12Mind if I hang around?
1:01:12 > 1:01:15No, not at all. We're having Bible reading today.
1:01:21 > 1:01:22Rachel give you your lessons?
1:01:22 > 1:01:24Sure. And Jim, too.
1:01:24 > 1:01:27Jim's good at schooling. He thinks of things to do.
1:01:27 > 1:01:30For sums, we figured a tree's age by its circles
1:01:30 > 1:01:33and how many weeks you take to get enough fox
1:01:33 > 1:01:35to make a fur coat for Rachel, and such.
1:01:35 > 1:01:37Ain't you and Jim going to hunt fox, Pa?
1:01:40 > 1:01:42Then you say, "just like me".
1:01:42 > 1:01:43Just like me.
1:01:44 > 1:01:46I reckon I'll do that.
1:01:46 > 1:01:48I reckon maybe I'd better.
1:01:48 > 1:01:51Can I sit with you while you listen to the hounds?
1:01:51 > 1:01:54No, Dave. Jim and me have been wasting for a talk
1:01:54 > 1:01:56for quite a spell.
1:01:58 > 1:02:00DOGS BARK
1:02:02 > 1:02:04Davey? Oh, what?
1:02:04 > 1:02:06You better come in now. It's past bedtime.
1:02:06 > 1:02:08Listen. They're on to him now.
1:02:08 > 1:02:11I sure wish I was up there with Jim and Pa.
1:02:13 > 1:02:16Wonder why your pa changed his mind about going hunting.
1:02:16 > 1:02:19He said Jim and him was wasting for a talk
1:02:19 > 1:02:21for a long time. Soon they'll light a fire yonder
1:02:21 > 1:02:23and sit out all night listening to the hounds
1:02:23 > 1:02:25and picking them out by their voices.
1:02:27 > 1:02:29Come on. You don't want to stay out here alone.
1:02:29 > 1:02:31Maybe after Jim talks to Pa,
1:02:31 > 1:02:33you won't be telling me what I don't want to do.
1:02:33 > 1:02:34Well, suit yourself, Davey.
1:02:38 > 1:02:40DOGS BARK
1:02:45 > 1:02:46That's Musket out front.
1:02:46 > 1:02:47Yep.
1:02:49 > 1:02:52Tobacco, Jim? No, thank you, Dave, I've brought along the jug.
1:02:52 > 1:02:54DOG HOWLS
1:02:54 > 1:02:56Emmy-Lou's a-tailin' him now. Yep.
1:03:00 > 1:03:04This is a mighty nice long visit you've paid us, Jim.
1:03:04 > 1:03:07Sure is. Mighty long for a walking man
1:03:07 > 1:03:09with an itch in his heels.
1:03:09 > 1:03:12I got rid of that itch. DOGS BARK
1:03:12 > 1:03:13Sounds like they jumped him now.
1:03:15 > 1:03:18Never knew a walking man who could stop walking
1:03:18 > 1:03:19and take root in one place.
1:03:19 > 1:03:22Oh, some can if they got reason enough to settle.
1:03:22 > 1:03:25I recollect your saying something about settling down.
1:03:25 > 1:03:28Still goes. Clear a few acres.
1:03:28 > 1:03:30That's right. Get yourself a wife.
1:03:30 > 1:03:32Yep.
1:03:32 > 1:03:33Wives don't grow on trees.
1:03:33 > 1:03:35Reckon not.
1:03:35 > 1:03:38Leastways, not on the trees around here.
1:03:39 > 1:03:41Never spoke truer, Big Davey.
1:03:41 > 1:03:43You got to go out a-hunting.
1:03:43 > 1:03:47Don't reckon I got so much hunting to do.
1:03:47 > 1:03:49SHARP WHISTLING
1:03:49 > 1:03:50Rachel's in trouble.
1:03:50 > 1:03:52Someone's got to stomp out the fire,
1:03:52 > 1:03:54so I reckon I'll go on ahead.
1:04:13 > 1:04:14You can come down now, Davey.
1:04:21 > 1:04:24Sure is a big 'un. Yeah, sure is.
1:04:24 > 1:04:26Rachel, I'd sure thank you
1:04:26 > 1:04:29if you wasn't to tell Jim or Pa about how I...
1:04:29 > 1:04:31Hey, Pa!
1:04:31 > 1:04:32Here.
1:04:33 > 1:04:35Mountain cat. A big 'un.
1:04:37 > 1:04:39Did you shoot him, Dave?
1:04:39 > 1:04:40She did.
1:04:43 > 1:04:45I thought you said you couldn't tote a gun.
1:04:45 > 1:04:48Don't say I never asked you about that.
1:04:48 > 1:04:50I heard the steers bellowing. Then Davey whistled here.
1:04:50 > 1:04:52Jim. A mountain cat.
1:04:52 > 1:04:54It... It was fretting the animals.
1:04:56 > 1:04:58Clean square between the eyes.
1:04:58 > 1:05:00No trigger jerking there.
1:05:01 > 1:05:02Thank you.
1:05:04 > 1:05:06Said she couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
1:05:06 > 1:05:08I've been practising in the cellar.
1:05:13 > 1:05:15Ain't you cold, Rachel?
1:05:16 > 1:05:18Oh.
1:05:18 > 1:05:19Come on, Davey.
1:05:19 > 1:05:21Come on.
1:05:22 > 1:05:24Let's get to skinning, Big Davey.
1:05:24 > 1:05:26Want to get an early start in the morning.
1:05:26 > 1:05:28You pulling out, Jim?
1:05:28 > 1:05:29As you said, I'm a man with an itch
1:05:29 > 1:05:31that ain't getting scratched around here.
1:05:36 > 1:05:38When you do get settled down, let us know,
1:05:38 > 1:05:40and we'll have a cabin raising. Yeah. Thanks.
1:05:40 > 1:05:43You all ready? Soon as I saddle my horse.
1:05:43 > 1:05:44I've already done that.
1:05:46 > 1:05:48Mrs Harvey, I... Goodbye, Mr Fairways.
1:05:49 > 1:05:52You're, er, you're forgetting your guitar.
1:05:52 > 1:05:53You'll be having use for it, I believe.
1:05:55 > 1:05:56Thank you.
1:06:12 > 1:06:14Mighty fine, fair woman.
1:06:14 > 1:06:16Yeah.
1:06:16 > 1:06:19Reckon she's worth more than you paid out.
1:06:19 > 1:06:21Four still owing.
1:06:21 > 1:06:22I'm willing, Big Davey.
1:06:22 > 1:06:24I don't get what you mean, Jim.
1:06:24 > 1:06:27You paid out $18 cash and 4 owing.
1:06:27 > 1:06:29I've got silver in my pocket.
1:06:29 > 1:06:32I'm prepared to pay you $40, cash money.
1:06:32 > 1:06:33She's my wife, Jim.
1:06:33 > 1:06:35You don't treat her like men treat a wife.
1:06:35 > 1:06:37You treat her more like a bondwoman.
1:06:37 > 1:06:39I been ten years in the deep woods, Jim.
1:06:39 > 1:06:41I never ordered anybody off my property.
1:06:41 > 1:06:43You ain't ordering me off.
1:06:43 > 1:06:45I'm leaving of my own accord, but not without Rachel.
1:06:45 > 1:06:48I offered to buy you out fair and square.
1:06:57 > 1:06:59Wait till I catch my horse, Dave!
1:07:00 > 1:07:03DOGS BARK
1:07:10 > 1:07:12DOGS BARK AND GROWL
1:07:17 > 1:07:19My horse! My cattle!
1:07:20 > 1:07:23BARKING CONTINUES
1:07:44 > 1:07:46Rachel!
1:07:46 > 1:07:48What is it? What's all the racket?
1:07:48 > 1:07:50They're fighting - Pa and Jim, like panthers!
1:08:08 > 1:08:10Men. Two full-grown men
1:08:10 > 1:08:13fighting like a couple of wild Indians. Why?
1:08:16 > 1:08:18Davey, why was they fighting?
1:08:18 > 1:08:20You shut, Dave. You speak, Dave.
1:08:20 > 1:08:23Jim wanted to buy you, and Pa told him...
1:08:23 > 1:08:25You shut it, Dave! He'll speak all he wants,
1:08:25 > 1:08:27and so will I. Maybe that's best.
1:08:27 > 1:08:29Tell Big Davey you're going along with me.
1:08:29 > 1:08:31Why, you... Now, hold on!
1:08:31 > 1:08:32Hold on!
1:08:32 > 1:08:34Me going along with you?
1:08:34 > 1:08:37This may come as a surprise, it did to me...
1:08:37 > 1:08:40So's I can be bought and sold as you two please?
1:08:40 > 1:08:43Now YOU want to buy me so you can have a wife and slave
1:08:43 > 1:08:44just like he has.
1:08:44 > 1:08:47Then when you want a change, you'll sell me like he's doing.
1:08:47 > 1:08:49Now, Rachel... You shut.
1:08:49 > 1:08:50I'm beginning to believe
1:08:50 > 1:08:53that's just the way you both think about a wife -
1:08:53 > 1:08:56someone to be bought or sold,
1:08:56 > 1:08:58someone to cook for you, do your chores,
1:08:58 > 1:09:00flatter your manhood every now and then.
1:09:00 > 1:09:02Manhood! Just look at you.
1:09:03 > 1:09:05I'm going back to the stockade.
1:09:06 > 1:09:08If you think the work I've done
1:09:08 > 1:09:10for you, Davey, and that lazy, no-account hunter
1:09:10 > 1:09:12isn't worth $18 cash and 4 owing,
1:09:12 > 1:09:15then you can warrant me with Judge Lang when he makes circuit.
1:09:16 > 1:09:18I wouldn't if I was you.
1:09:18 > 1:09:20He's likely to throw the lot of you in the guardhouse.
1:09:21 > 1:09:23DOOR SLAMS
1:09:26 > 1:09:28Pa, better go after the stock.
1:09:31 > 1:09:33Come back, boy.
1:09:38 > 1:09:39Get in there.
1:09:39 > 1:09:41Go on. Get in there.
1:09:41 > 1:09:42Get in there.
1:09:42 > 1:09:43Rachel.
1:09:45 > 1:09:46Rachel!
1:09:53 > 1:09:57Reckon I'll be on my way soon as I get a bite to eat.
1:09:57 > 1:09:59Worked up a powerful appetite.
1:09:59 > 1:10:00Pa.
1:10:02 > 1:10:05Guess we won't get no dinner cooked.
1:10:05 > 1:10:06Now, ain't that just like a woman?
1:10:08 > 1:10:10Lazy, no-account hunter.
1:10:10 > 1:10:13Seems kind of strange now she's gone.
1:10:13 > 1:10:15Davey, fetch me my gun. Where are you going?
1:10:15 > 1:10:17After her.
1:10:17 > 1:10:18Going to put a warrant on her?
1:10:18 > 1:10:20Nope.
1:10:20 > 1:10:22Can't do much without you laying hands on her.
1:10:22 > 1:10:24I never laid hands on a woman in my life.
1:10:26 > 1:10:28Figuring on reasoning her back?
1:10:28 > 1:10:29I ain't bringing her back.
1:10:29 > 1:10:30Oh.
1:10:30 > 1:10:32If she's ungrateful enough to leave the man
1:10:32 > 1:10:35that bought her out of bond and married her legal,
1:10:35 > 1:10:36then I don't want her.
1:10:36 > 1:10:38Then what are you going after her for?
1:10:38 > 1:10:41Shawnee. Ain't likely they'll move toward the stockade.
1:10:41 > 1:10:44Well, she might get lost.
1:10:44 > 1:10:46Mind if I ride along with you?
1:10:46 > 1:10:48It ain't my forest.
1:10:48 > 1:10:49HE WHISTLES
1:11:28 > 1:11:29Get down, Davey.
1:11:29 > 1:11:30Why?
1:11:37 > 1:11:39Rachel, er... What do you want?
1:11:39 > 1:11:42Oh, nothing, except, er... you might as well ride.
1:11:42 > 1:11:45It's a long ways to the stockade.
1:11:45 > 1:11:46I walked it before.
1:11:46 > 1:11:49Yeah. Well, here's the horse.
1:11:49 > 1:11:52Ride him back to the cabin and leave me alone.
1:11:52 > 1:11:54You're welcome to this horse, ma'am.
1:11:54 > 1:11:56No, thanks, Mr Fairways. I'm walking - alone.
1:11:56 > 1:11:58We can't leave you in the deep woods.
1:11:58 > 1:12:00Been Injun signs. That's true.
1:12:02 > 1:12:04Rachel, you shouldn't go off like this.
1:12:04 > 1:12:06It ain't that I'm trying to stop you,
1:12:06 > 1:12:08only you're going the wrong way. Oh.
1:12:08 > 1:12:12You've got to follow the river or you get lost.
1:12:12 > 1:12:13Thanks.
1:12:14 > 1:12:16Jim, I'd appreciate your allowing me
1:12:16 > 1:12:18to speak to Rachel alone.
1:12:18 > 1:12:19Like you said, it's not your forest.
1:12:19 > 1:12:21I'm telling you to stay away from my wife.
1:12:21 > 1:12:23Ain't exactly your wife either.
1:12:23 > 1:12:25Dave, hold this horse.
1:12:25 > 1:12:26She won't like it, Pa.
1:12:35 > 1:12:36# Dwells a spinster
1:12:36 > 1:12:38# Nigh to a bachelor
1:12:40 > 1:12:42# In between lives foolish pride
1:12:45 > 1:12:49# Long his beard and grey her tresses
1:12:50 > 1:12:55# Knowing not what happiness is
1:12:57 > 1:13:00# Thus they live there
1:13:00 > 1:13:04# Side by side. #
1:13:04 > 1:13:07Rachel's got you right, Jim. You're a lazy no-account.
1:13:07 > 1:13:10Some was meant to sing to lighten others' labours.
1:13:10 > 1:13:13Davey, want something to eat?
1:13:15 > 1:13:18I ain't hungry...not very.
1:13:18 > 1:13:19Well...
1:13:19 > 1:13:20just a little, maybe?
1:13:30 > 1:13:33I guess they're mighty hungry.
1:13:33 > 1:13:36There's plenty of game in the woods if they care to hunt.
1:13:38 > 1:13:40I reckon you're the better hunter, Jim. Thank you, Big Davey.
1:13:40 > 1:13:43I ain't accustomed to shooting in the dark.
1:13:43 > 1:13:45Answer me this. Would you give me half an hour
1:13:45 > 1:13:47to plead my cause alone with Rachel?
1:13:47 > 1:13:49Not while I'm able.
1:13:49 > 1:13:50I ain't no bigger fool than you.
1:13:53 > 1:13:54Well, I ain't hungry.
1:13:54 > 1:13:55Me neither.
1:13:56 > 1:13:59# In the churchyard
1:13:59 > 1:14:02# Now they are laid to rest
1:14:02 > 1:14:05# Buried with them
1:14:05 > 1:14:08# Foolish pride
1:14:08 > 1:14:11# Lonely graves
1:14:11 > 1:14:14# And granite heads
1:14:14 > 1:14:17# Graven only
1:14:17 > 1:14:22# Died unwed
1:14:22 > 1:14:27# So they lie there
1:14:27 > 1:14:28# Side
1:14:28 > 1:14:30# By
1:14:30 > 1:14:32# Side. #
1:14:35 > 1:14:38Davey. Hmm?
1:14:38 > 1:14:39You'd better go sleep by your pa's fire.
1:14:41 > 1:14:44Why? Cos he'll be hurt.
1:14:44 > 1:14:46He's probably lonesome for you. You reckon?
1:14:46 > 1:14:47Yeah.
1:14:50 > 1:14:53Your ma must've been awful nice, Davey.
1:14:53 > 1:14:56She was...and so are you.
1:14:57 > 1:15:00I reckon you take after her, not after your pa.
1:15:02 > 1:15:03Go on. Get.
1:15:08 > 1:15:11Pa. Get, you ungrateful whelp.
1:15:11 > 1:15:13She ain't so bad, Pa
1:15:13 > 1:15:14Just like a hound dog -
1:15:14 > 1:15:16take up with the first one to feed you.
1:15:16 > 1:15:20She told me to come back. She allowed you'd be lonely.
1:15:20 > 1:15:22What she doing to make a man less lonely?
1:15:22 > 1:15:25I reckon we'll get somebody else to do our chores.
1:15:28 > 1:15:31I think if you was to ask her... I ain't asking no favours.
1:15:31 > 1:15:33I'm going to speak my piece,
1:15:33 > 1:15:36get it off my chest, and go to sleep.
1:15:36 > 1:15:38Those that don't care to listen, I'd oblige.
1:15:40 > 1:15:43Rachel, I'm asking that you marry me. Just as simple as that,
1:15:43 > 1:15:45except for separating you and Big Davey.
1:15:45 > 1:15:47He never appreciated you.
1:15:47 > 1:15:49I ain't the catch of the river,
1:15:49 > 1:15:51but I ain't so mule-headed
1:15:51 > 1:15:53I can't admit I'm in love and do something about it.
1:16:00 > 1:16:02Well, I said my piece. Now I'm going to sleep.
1:16:02 > 1:16:04If you like the notion, think it over,
1:16:04 > 1:16:05let me know in the morning.
1:16:13 > 1:16:14I ain't never let Jim have the last word,
1:16:14 > 1:16:17and I don't intend starting now.
1:16:17 > 1:16:19Ask her to come back, Pa.
1:16:19 > 1:16:21If the boy wants you back,
1:16:21 > 1:16:22that's good enough for me.
1:16:22 > 1:16:24I ain't begging,
1:16:24 > 1:16:26but if you was to say the word, I'd be willing.
1:16:34 > 1:16:36Reckon the dogs would miss you, too.
1:17:03 > 1:17:05That's a mighty queer-looking sky.
1:17:15 > 1:17:18Too far east for you, ain't it? It's a forest fire?
1:17:18 > 1:17:20Maybe. Cabin in danger, Pa?
1:17:20 > 1:17:23Rachel, take Dave and ride to the stockade. Tell them.
1:17:23 > 1:17:25I'll go back with Jim, if he's willing.
1:17:33 > 1:17:36Davey, it could be Shawnee set fire to the cabin.
1:17:36 > 1:17:39Is that what they think? I reckon.
1:17:39 > 1:17:41Can you get to the stockade alone? Sure.
1:17:41 > 1:17:43Go there and tell them. But, Rachel...
1:17:43 > 1:17:44I got to go back. Now, go ahead.
1:17:58 > 1:18:00SHARP WARBLING
1:18:46 > 1:18:49Shawnee haven't been on the warpath for a while.
1:18:49 > 1:18:50They've lost their eye.
1:18:50 > 1:18:52I reckon east/west gives the best vision.
1:18:58 > 1:18:59Pretty quiet back here.
1:19:18 > 1:19:19He's letting out the stock.
1:19:19 > 1:19:21Hold your temper, Big Davey.
1:19:37 > 1:19:40Davey, you go out there and I'll knock your head off.
1:19:40 > 1:19:41But they turned the stock loose!
1:19:43 > 1:19:45Better to lose a few head of stock than your own.
1:19:59 > 1:20:01HORSE GALLOPING
1:20:05 > 1:20:07Someone's coming on a horse.
1:20:10 > 1:20:12It's Rachel come back alone.
1:20:13 > 1:20:15Moon's breaking out of those clouds.
1:20:15 > 1:20:17Head for the cabin!
1:20:25 > 1:20:27SHE SCREAMS
1:20:27 > 1:20:29Aah!
1:20:30 > 1:20:31Aah!
1:20:41 > 1:20:44I-I sent Davey on to-to the stockade.
1:20:44 > 1:20:46He'll make it. Yeah, I reckon.
1:20:51 > 1:20:54HIGH-PITCHED WARBLING
1:21:14 > 1:21:16Rachel.
1:21:17 > 1:21:19HIGH-PITCHED WARBLING
1:22:04 > 1:22:06You shouldn't have come back.
1:22:06 > 1:22:07It's just a matter of time now,
1:22:07 > 1:22:09and this isn't a fitting place for a woman.
1:22:09 > 1:22:12I reckon I know best what's fitting for a woman.
1:22:20 > 1:22:22GUNSHOT Aah!
1:23:39 > 1:23:41Fire's awful bad in the bedroom.
1:23:47 > 1:23:50Come on, Big Davey. We better hole up in the cellar.
1:24:13 > 1:24:14We're a little low on powder.
1:24:16 > 1:24:18Davey must be at the stockade by now.
1:24:29 > 1:24:31RACHEL COUGHS
1:24:58 > 1:25:00GUNSHOT
1:25:00 > 1:25:03GUNSHOTS SHAWNEES WHOOP
1:25:12 > 1:25:15If you're a Shawnee, prepare to meet your maker.
1:25:15 > 1:25:18If you're Big Davey, stay put till we smother the fire.
1:25:25 > 1:25:28All right. You can come out now.
1:25:28 > 1:25:30You all right, Pa? Yeah, Davey.
1:25:30 > 1:25:33I brung them, Jim. So you did. I'm proud of you.
1:25:33 > 1:25:34Where's my horse?
1:25:34 > 1:25:37Out there. We were mighty worried about you.
1:25:37 > 1:25:39Sister Jackson will be relieved.
1:25:39 > 1:25:41Parson, let's get after them Shawnee.
1:25:41 > 1:25:44Jim, I ought to give a word of comfort
1:25:44 > 1:25:47to Brother and Sister Harvey and arrange a cabin raising.
1:25:47 > 1:25:50If you take my counsel, you'll leave them two be.
1:25:50 > 1:25:53Reckon they've had enough visitors for the time being.
1:25:53 > 1:25:54Are you leaving, Jim?
1:25:54 > 1:25:57I'm a free man, Davey.
1:25:57 > 1:25:59I got an itch to my heel and a load in my gun.
1:25:59 > 1:26:02Ain't tasted food in a day and a half.
1:26:02 > 1:26:06Reckon I was just born to hunt the meat for other men's tables.
1:26:06 > 1:26:09Tell your pa I'll see him when spring comes round again.
1:26:09 > 1:26:12If you see Pistol, send him home.
1:26:12 > 1:26:14Let's go, men. Bye, Jim.
1:26:14 > 1:26:16Let's go! We'll be back to help you build.
1:26:19 > 1:26:23Pistol!
1:26:23 > 1:26:25HE WHISTLES
1:26:25 > 1:26:27Pistol!
1:26:27 > 1:26:28No more bedroom.
1:26:30 > 1:26:32No more loft.
1:26:34 > 1:26:35Oh.
1:26:35 > 1:26:37Now, that's a real pity.
1:26:45 > 1:26:47NOTE SOUNDS PERFECTLY
1:26:50 > 1:26:54The heart of it's whole and good, and that's what's important.
1:26:55 > 1:26:56I'll build a new case. Yeah.
1:26:59 > 1:27:02I reckon I never told you, I like the way you play.
1:27:20 > 1:27:21HE DROPS METRONOME
1:27:24 > 1:27:26There's a lot ahead of us.
1:27:28 > 1:27:29Yeah.
1:27:29 > 1:27:30Pa! Rachel!
1:27:30 > 1:27:32I found Pistol.
1:27:32 > 1:27:34He ain't hurt. He was hiding all the time.
1:27:34 > 1:27:37I'm glad, Davey. I'm awful hungry.
1:27:37 > 1:27:40Well, the fireplace is still there.
1:27:40 > 1:27:42Davey, run down to the river and check the fish trap.
1:27:42 > 1:27:44I'll cook up breakfast.
1:27:44 > 1:27:45But I'm all tuckered out.
1:27:45 > 1:27:47Davey.
1:27:47 > 1:27:48Do as your ma says.
