00:00:30THE END
00:01:00Here's a letter I received this morning.
00:01:12Dear sir, in answer to your request for a report on the Aritar district,
00:01:16there is no improvement in conditions, the land is unproductive and...
00:01:20So my Aritar plea is worthless, sir.
00:01:22According to this.
00:01:23You mean to say that land is all left of the Abbott estate?
00:01:27It amounts to about that.
00:01:29In other words, I'm broke.
00:01:32Well, I had a lot of fun spending it while it lasted.
00:01:36Going broke may be the best thing that ever happened to you, Jack.
00:01:40There's a glorious opportunity in the West.
00:01:42You don't think I'm going out to the woolly wilds of Arizona and Utah
00:01:46and rebuild the Abbott fortune, do you?
00:01:49Why not?
00:01:50You never know what you may find in the desert.
00:01:52I know what I find all right.
00:01:54Snakes and rocks and cows and sand.
00:01:57And I don't like any of those things.
00:01:59You might also find a chance to use your expensive education.
00:02:03You studied geology, didn't you?
00:02:05Yes, but only because it gave me more time for other things.
00:02:10Now see here, Jack.
00:02:11You might as well make up your mind to do something.
00:02:13Well, I'm not going out in the desert to do it.
00:02:18Chicago's good enough for me.
00:02:20Yes, I suppose it is.
00:02:22I never thought I'd live to see an Abbott who was afraid to go out
00:02:25and claim what was rightfully his, no matter what the danger.
00:02:29But why try to claim worthless property?
00:02:32What do you mean, danger?
00:02:34Suppose I'm going to tell you that I thought you were being robbed.
00:02:38I'd say it was beginning to sound exciting.
00:02:41Well, I've already written Holderness, your manager out there,
00:02:43to turn everything over to you.
00:02:45How do you know I'm going?
00:02:49You're an Abbott, aren't you?
00:02:51All right, Judge.
00:02:55But don't be surprised if I come back wearing a five-gallon hat
00:02:58in one of those western get-ups.
00:03:00Those get-ups, as you call them, are worn by real men.
00:03:03Remember that.
00:03:05All right, Judge.
00:03:06Goodbye.
00:03:06Goodbye.
00:03:06Goodbye.
00:03:06Into thy merciful hands, O infinite power, I commend my son, thy will be done.
00:03:32Tobias, yes, please.
00:03:36I can't help it, David.
00:03:38He was so young, so strong.
00:03:41Why did they help?
00:03:43My daughter, it's not for us to question.
00:03:47It's about time someone started questioning.
00:03:49Where are you going, David?
00:03:53To get Holderness.
00:03:54I forbid it.
00:03:56You're always forbidding.
00:03:58No, Davey, this is not the time.
00:04:00Why isn't it?
00:04:01For years, Holderness has been robbing us, driving us further and further into this dead...
00:04:04My brothers, what have you done about it?
00:04:06Nothing.
00:04:07After all, your father has no real proof that Holderness was responsible for the killings.
00:04:12I have all the proof I need, Thornton.
00:04:14I hear my brothers calling me to even things for them, even if you don't.
00:04:19Violence is not the way to settle things, my son.
00:04:22I found that out years ago.
00:04:25I killed a man without first having proof that he was the one who wronged me.
00:04:30That must never happen again.
00:04:33A day of judgment always comes.
00:04:37You've been telling me that ever since Adam was killed.
00:04:39When is it coming?
00:04:40Who knows, Davey?
00:04:42Maybe at this very moment, a noose might be settling on the neck of Henry Holderness.
00:04:49Stay right here, my boy.
00:05:07There comes your friend Thornton, Chief.
00:05:14No friend of mine.
00:05:15Where are you heading?
00:05:30None of your business.
00:05:31Hello, Snack.
00:05:40Hello.
00:05:43What do you two fellas want?
00:05:45Nebraska and me just wanted to make sure everything was all right.
00:05:48It's all right.
00:05:48He's working for me.
00:05:51Why didn't you tell us?
00:05:53I only tell people what they're supposed to know.
00:05:56Now get out and wait till I call you.
00:05:57Why didn't you tell him?
00:06:08He might have started something.
00:06:09My business is with you.
00:06:11You're getting smarter, Snack.
00:06:12Sure I am.
00:06:14Old man Nabb just made me foreman.
00:06:16That's fine.
00:06:18Why, everything will be easy for us at the Oasis now.
00:06:21Not as far as you and I are concerned.
00:06:23I came in here to tell you that I'm quitting.
00:06:25Quitting what?
00:06:27Playing the game with you.
00:06:29From now on I'm shooting square with the Nabs.
00:06:32That sounds funny, coming from a man who killed Sol Nabb.
00:06:37I couldn't help that.
00:06:38It was either him or me when he found out I was working for you.
00:06:41Do you think the Nabs would accept that as an excuse if they knew?
00:06:48You can't quit me.
00:06:49You're in too deep.
00:06:50You can't quit me.
00:06:55Have a drink.
00:07:04And let's not have any more talk about quitting.
00:07:13What is the situation at the Oasis?
00:07:17The old man's cattle are doing fine.
00:07:19Over a thousand head on the West Range alone.
00:07:21Well, this is going to be a profitable year.
00:07:25I'll give you...
00:07:28an extra hundred this time.
00:07:32And we'll charge that to the removing of Sol Nabb.
00:07:38Sometimes I wish I'd never seen you.
00:07:41If you hadn't, you'd still be just a poor cow and struggling for a few dollars.
00:07:46Well, at least I wouldn't be a double-crosser.
00:07:48And a killer.
00:07:48Take that with you, if you like.
00:08:06Are you sure there ain't even a postal card for me, Gopher Face?
00:08:10That little waitress over in Granite promised to write me.
00:08:12I told you I ain't finished sorting the mail yet.
00:08:15These are all for the boss.
00:08:16The mail writer just came in.
00:08:29This one's from Chicago.
00:08:31It's from the lawyer.
00:08:32Well, you can go.
00:08:42Yes, sir.
00:08:46Clark.
00:08:47Yes?
00:08:48Send Nebraska in here.
00:08:50Yes, sir.
00:08:54Nebraska, the boss won't you?
00:08:55I want you to meet a man for me.
00:09:08You'll find him somewhere on the trail between here and the junction.
00:09:11Wait until he comes along.
00:09:12Sure, boss.
00:09:13I'll guide him in.
00:09:15I don't want that man to reach White Sage.
00:09:18You understand?
00:09:19His name is, uh...
00:09:22Wait a minute.
00:09:23If that's the kind of job it is, then Chick's a better man for her than I am.
00:09:28What am I paying you for?
00:09:30Fighting.
00:09:31Not murder.
00:09:33You're not getting a little bit yellow.
00:09:35I guess you know that I'm always ready to take plenty of short chances to earn my wages.
00:09:41But the other fella's got to have an even break.
00:09:46Old even break, Nebraska.
00:09:48That's him.
00:09:49You might try being that way yourself sometimes, Chick.
00:09:52It'll be a change for you.
00:09:54Uh-uh.
00:09:55One like you in this outfit is enough.
00:09:59I ain't so particular how I earn my pay.
00:10:02What's the name of this man you don't want to get here?
00:10:06Sometimes I think you enjoy your work.
00:10:10Dollar's a dollar.
00:10:11Who is he?
00:10:12No, his name is, uh...
00:10:14John Abbott.
00:10:15John Abbott.
00:10:17That's an easy name to remember.
00:10:19Remember?
00:10:40Nice view from up here, eh?
00:10:45Yeah.
00:10:47Mighty decent of you to guide me up here.
00:10:48I never found my way alone.
00:10:50Don't mention it.
00:10:52I'm glad I had the chance.
00:10:54Where's the town?
00:10:57Uh, just look down over that ledge and you can see where you're going.
00:11:00Mm-hmm.
00:11:30What did you say your name was?
00:11:36You asked me that before.
00:11:38Abbott, I told you.
00:11:39John Abbott.
00:11:40I just wanted to make sure I ain't making no mistake.
00:11:49What?
00:11:49That was a shot.
00:11:55Maybe someone's hunting.
00:11:56Up there on Satan's Pass with a pistol.
00:11:59Nothing to hunt.
00:11:59I ain't even a grasshopper up there.
00:12:01No!
00:12:23Help!
00:12:27Help!
00:12:39Oh, he's in the quicksign, David!
00:12:41You're hilarious!
00:12:51Be careful, Father!
00:12:52Oh!
00:12:57All the way, David!
00:13:14Take it easy, David.
00:13:15Take it easy!
00:13:22He's safe!
00:13:28A slug in his chest!
00:13:29It looks bad!
00:13:30Yeah, practically, whining in the heart right now.
00:13:32I wonder who done it?
00:13:33Death in this desert always means holiness.
00:13:36He needs all hope, no matter who he is.
00:13:38Bring him out, lad!
00:13:39All right!
00:13:55Well, how's your patient today, Miriam?
00:13:57About the same, Father.
00:13:58No better, no worse.
00:14:00He'll pull through, my child.
00:14:01The same power that delivered him from his enemies will restore him to health.
00:14:07Enemies?
00:14:09Father!
00:14:11You need have no fear of enemies here, my son.
00:14:15You're with friends.
00:14:17What is your name?
00:14:19The last man who asked me that tried to kill me.
00:14:23Well, never mind.
00:14:25It doesn't matter.
00:14:27We judge a man here by his deeds, not by his name.
00:14:31Rest easy and we'll have you on your feet in no time.
00:14:35I don't know how I can repay you.
00:14:37I don't know how I can repay you.
00:14:43That's good.
00:14:59Matt!
00:15:00We missed you last night.
00:15:06Where were you, my lad?
00:15:08Why, uh, on the West Range.
00:15:11The stock is crowding seeping wells and some of them should be driven out.
00:15:15Didn't look that way to me last time I was up there.
00:15:19That red eye you've been drinking makes you see double.
00:15:23Oh, leave me alone, will you?
00:15:24You know I've stopped drinking.
00:15:30Well, I'm sure I've been paying a lot of attention to him.
00:15:36Who is he?
00:15:37Another stranger lost in the desert.
00:15:40Why does your father bring strays around here?
00:15:55Well, this man might be anything.
00:15:58man might be anything what difference does that make he needed our help oh snap you've been
00:16:05drinking again oh why won't you let liquor alone you know well enough why I drink Miriam if you'd

00:16:44have to worry about him anymore he's at the bottom of that sandpit at Satan's pass what's left of him
00:16:49it ought to be worth a lot more than this seeing as how important that was to you
00:16:54stop that noise
00:17:03that's an unusual looking blanket it's not a blanket it's a poncho here's one
00:17:32see it's woven so your head can go through here oh our men wear them on the high ranges it gets
00:17:39mighty cold up in the plateaus beautiful colors we make the dyes ourselves you do how from roots
00:17:48flowers rocks even from insects you people seem to be able to do almost anything we have to
00:17:54almost everything we use here we make ourselves Miriam soap and water please yes father
00:18:04excuse me sure
00:18:08Thornton doesn't seem to like me can't blame him can you you know he'd give his right arm if Miriam worried
00:18:27over him as much as she has over you but he doesn't seem to be any too fond of you either
00:18:33you got a keen eye ain't you yeah I don't trust him bad blood know his father was a rum runner used
00:18:42to cheat the Indians out of their ponies and blankets by giving them bad whiskey cousin Andy picked him up when
00:18:49he was a little shaver and gave him a home he thinks he's the salt of the earth gonna make something out of him
00:18:56but I'm thinking you can't make a lily white dove out of a desert hawk
00:19:01Andy
00:19:24you stay here
00:19:25what do you want Nebraska no trouble this time Davey no holding this rider ever came here without
00:19:46bringing trouble that's enough David
00:19:48the boss is raising the ante on you this year Andy he wants a thousand head of steer
00:19:56a thousand is he crazy
00:19:59well he figures that the use of this oasis and the land and water on the west range is worth it
00:20:06when we found that water on the west range and we opened the seeping wells
00:20:09they belong to us
00:20:10holderness claims it all belongs to the arid company
00:20:13you don't have to argue it out with him
00:20:16holderness
00:20:17every time the nabs find rich range in new water he claims it for his company
00:20:22who does holderness work for
00:20:23who's behind that carefully concealed company that he always blames for his lawless actions
00:20:28well your guess is as good as mine
00:20:31well you go back and tell him that I live by the old law
00:20:34that says render unto every man that which is his
00:20:37but I'm going to fight the claim of his company to the west range and seeping wells
00:20:42and until the boundary is legally decided I'm not going to pay him a thing for the use
00:20:47well
00:20:49I'll tell him Andy
00:20:51but I'm warning you friendly like
00:20:53you better think it over
00:20:56well you you don't seem to be on very good terms with your landlord
00:21:03no I'm afraid for David and father they're all I have left
00:21:07yes I know
00:21:22knows he told me about your brothers
00:21:24holderness was responsible for their deaths
00:21:26what?
00:21:27he gets rid of everything that stands in his way
00:21:29well wouldn't it be wiser then to get out?
00:21:33we can't get out
00:21:36we belong to the desert we're part of it
00:21:38it's part of us
00:21:39and we made this oasis what it is
00:21:42bit by bit we reclaimed it from the desert
00:21:44it should belong to us
00:21:46I thought it was yours
00:21:48no
00:21:49holderness claimed it for his company
00:21:51we merely lease it
00:21:52he charges us whatever he likes
00:21:54I should think you'd go to the law then
00:21:57holderness seems to be the law around here too
00:22:01well what happened?
00:22:07well that old war horse just the same as told me to go and jump in the lake
00:22:11and I might have done it too if there'd have been a lake
00:22:13you should have sent me
00:22:14yeah
00:22:15well I want to be around the day that you pull down on Andy Nab

00:27:41You know the trail of misery that stuff brings.
00:27:45Why do you touch it?
00:27:49It's because of what happened between Miriam and me.
00:27:53Well, what has she got to do with it?
00:27:55Well, you know she's everything in the world to me.
00:27:59I started drinking when I saw her falling in love with another man.
00:28:03A man who never worked for and fought for the way I have.
00:28:07Who is he?
00:28:09Oh, you don't even know his name.
00:28:11He isn't honest. He couldn't be, or he wouldn't have anything to hide.
00:28:15Well, maybe it would be better if I sent him away, but...
00:28:19I can't turn the man out.
00:28:21Well, it's either him or me.
00:28:23Oh, I guess it doesn't make any difference what happens to me now.
00:28:27No, I'm not going to let you go. Not like this.
00:28:33If I was sure of Miriam,
00:28:35I'd never touch another drop again as long as I live. I swear it.
00:28:39Will you take that pledge on the book?
00:28:45Yes, Father Neb.
00:28:49Come with me.
00:28:51He knows he will drive you wherever you care to go.
00:29:03I wish you'd tell me what I've done to offend you.
00:29:05Well, you haven't done anything.
00:29:07It's just that it's best for all concerned that you leave.
00:29:11If that's the way you feel, there's nothing more I can say about it.
00:29:15But I want you to know that I'll never forget your kindness to me.
00:29:21Goodbye, Miriam.
00:29:22Goodbye, Jack.
00:29:42Stephen Wells has been blown up.
00:29:43That's the work of holiness.
00:29:45Snake and coyote.
00:29:46Oh, the poor cattle.
00:29:47The walls have caved in.
00:29:48Water probably will never run again.
00:29:49Well, we'll have to get the herd off that range before they die of thirst.
00:29:54Get the horses, Snap.
00:29:58Miriam, you'd better come with us.
00:30:07Nosy, what's the formation of the soil around those wells?
00:30:11Well, it's rocky and kind of steep up above them.
00:30:16Have you got any dynamite?
00:30:17Yeah.
00:30:18Get it.
00:30:19Get it?
00:30:20Yes, get it.
00:30:21What you want it for?
00:30:23Never mind.
00:30:24Get it.
00:30:25Oh, all right.
00:30:26What are we going to do with this stuff?
00:30:39You'll see.
00:30:40You ain't no cow man.
00:30:41What can you do up yonder?
00:30:43I might be able to find some water.
00:30:45Believe it or not, I studied geology in college.
00:30:47Yeah.
00:30:48What are you going to do with that thing?
00:30:50That's a divining rod.
00:30:51I'm going to find that lost channel.
00:30:54And I didn't learn how and no college either.
00:30:56Here.
00:30:57Here.
00:30:58Here.
00:30:59Here.
00:31:00Here.
00:31:01Here.
00:31:02Here.
00:31:06Here.
00:31:07Here.
00:31:08Here.
00:31:25That'll be weeks before we can find that channel.
00:31:27If I had the man who did this.
00:31:29What are we going to do about the cattle, Father?
00:31:31We'll have to take them to Rimrock Springs.
00:31:35Why, it's 30 miles across that desert.
00:31:36Half of them will be dead before we get there.
00:31:38Can't be helped.
00:31:39It's the only thing we can do to save any of them.
00:31:41Let's start the drive.
00:31:43Come on.
00:32:06Hmm.
00:32:09Hmm.
00:32:10Hmm.
00:32:26Whoa.
00:32:27They sure did blow it out, didn't they?
00:32:29Well, I'll soon find water for you again.
00:32:32You don't really believe in that thing, do you?
00:32:34Sure.
00:32:35Divining rod is good enough for Moses.
00:32:37I reckon it's good enough for me.
00:32:39Say, that rock strata works down to a depression point right there.
00:32:43That means water.
00:32:44Oh, you're crazy.
00:32:46Well, I've got plenty of company anyway.
00:32:48I know I'm loco, but you're a loonier than I am
00:32:52because you think you've got sense.
00:32:54All the water you can find up there, you can put in your eyes.
00:32:57Let's go and find out.
00:32:58Oh, of course.
00:33:24We've got plenty of water.
00:33:26You could also pick up anyobまず and get in your room.
00:33:31Boiling water
00:33:32PloING
00:33:34Ploing so much better.
00:33:35Oh, there you could.
00:33:37You can bloom.
00:33:38While I'm soft to the house late even if you knew it would Pas你

00:35:17so
00:35:28Oh, my God.
00:35:58I didn't like that for a miracle, Andy.
00:36:11And there's water enough there to make a garden spot out of this, too.
00:36:15And you was going to turn away the boy who done it.
00:36:19Father, you won't send him away now.
00:36:21Of course he won't.
00:36:24Will you remain with us?
00:36:28All right, if you'll let me.
00:36:32As long as you like.
00:36:35That goes for all of us, Jack.
00:36:36Come in.
00:36:41Come in.
00:36:58Are you sure outsmarted yourself when you plugged up the seeping wells?
00:37:01Well, they've got more water up there now than they know what to do with.
00:37:06Who found the water?
00:37:08The Tenderfoot, the nabs picked up in the desert.
00:37:11He's supposed to be a geologist.
00:37:13A rock picker.
00:37:15What's his name?
00:37:16He calls himself Jack.
00:37:17Jack what?
00:37:18I don't know.
00:37:18I never heard.
00:37:19I don't think anybody knows if he has a last name.
00:37:23He's the kind of a fellow that's trying to come between Miriam and me.
00:37:27What sort of a man is he?
00:37:29Why don't you take a ride out to the oasis and see for yourself?
00:37:31Well, I think I will.
00:37:47You mean these are all for me?
00:37:50Well, you'll be needing them, my boy, now that you're going to stay on with us.
00:37:53Yeah.
00:37:54Me and Miriam figured they was going to belong to you when we was making them.
00:37:58Well, I don't know what to say.
00:38:01You don't have to say anything.
00:38:04You've earned them.
00:38:05Why, you haven't seen the best present of all yet.
00:38:19There it is.
00:38:22You, you're not giving me silvermane, too.
00:38:26Yes.
00:38:26He's a great horse, Jack.
00:38:31Be good to him, won't you?
00:38:42It's Holderness.
00:38:53Give me that, David.
00:38:54I'll see you.
00:39:13So you're the rock picker.
00:39:14You mean I'm a geologist?
00:39:16Yes.
00:39:17How did you know?
00:39:18Oh, I've seen some of your work.
00:39:21I may pay you for locating that water for me.
00:39:23I've got some other prospects I'd like checked.
00:39:26Thanks.
00:39:26I may do that.
00:39:28But right now, I happen to be working for Mr. Knab.
00:39:31You look lovely, Miriam.
00:39:34How are things with you and Snap?
00:39:35What do you want?
00:39:43A thousand head of cattle.
00:39:44When do I get them?
00:39:46For ten years, Holderness, we've been persecuted by you.
00:39:50In the name of your company, you've plundered and pillaged and killed all who refuse to pay you tribute.
00:39:57Three of my sons are dead because of you.
00:39:59That's enough, Knab.
00:40:00You're rotten all the way through, Holderness.
00:40:04You fattening the lifeblood of every family in this desert.
00:40:08Why, you blabbering old fool.
00:40:11I'll show you.
00:40:12Oh, Knab's trick.
00:40:27Hey, I never would have believed it.
00:40:32You're alive today only because there's a higher law than man's.
00:40:37Now get out.
00:40:42Take this.
00:41:12My boy, keep it with you always.
00:41:15Behind it, you'll be as strong as he.
00:41:20Jack.
00:41:25Oh, Jack, what's wrong?
00:41:27Nothing.
00:41:28I'll be all right.
00:41:29Davy, help me.
00:41:31And be careful of him.
00:41:34Say, Andy, it's a good thing Snap ain't here to see Miriam making a fuss over Jack that-a-way.
00:41:41They must be separated.
00:41:43I promised her to Snap.
00:41:45Now hold on, Andy.
00:41:46You can't stop human nature.
00:41:48Tomorrow, I want you to take Jack up to Crimson Glory Meadows and keep him there until I send for you.
00:41:55And, uh, teach him how to use this.
00:41:59Come on, hurry up with that breakfast.
00:42:16I'm hungry.
00:42:17Ah, you're always hungry these days.
00:42:20You know, these two months up here sure made a big difference in you.
00:42:24Thanks to you, Dr. Nosy.
00:42:26Yeah, while I'm firing the flapjacks, you're getting some pistol crackers.
00:42:30I hung up some pine cones over there for you.
00:42:33Every time you hit a cone, you get a flapjack.
00:42:36Come on, start shooting.
00:42:37That's three flapjacks.
00:42:54Four.
00:42:56Ah, Nick, ain't a hit.
00:42:57You only wiggled it a little bit.
00:42:59Oh, getting technical, huh?
00:43:02Five.
00:43:02That's enough.
00:43:04Come on, I can't be flapping these flapjacks for you all day.
00:43:32Oh, you've been on the white stage all week.
00:43:40What were you doing there so long?
00:43:41I had to wait for this.
00:43:43And it was worth waiting for.
00:43:44No other girl in Aratai ever had one like it.
00:43:48Miriam!
00:43:54It's for you.
00:43:55Open it.
00:44:02Well, aren't you going to say something, Miriam?
00:44:27It's beautiful.
00:44:28I got the rings, too.
00:44:34See?
00:44:35See?
00:44:58Father, why don't you think of Miriam and let her decide for herself.
00:45:18A promise must be kept, my boy.
00:45:22They'll be happy.
00:45:23You'll see.
00:45:26Right through the Aratai.
00:45:27Tell all our friends that Snap and Miriam are going to be married two weeks from today.
00:45:45Let's take a ride over those hills.
00:45:47Why do you want to go over there first?
00:45:49Oh, might be interesting geologically.
00:45:52Expect to find more water over there, too?
00:45:55Maybe.
00:45:56Do you know why I like you?
00:45:59You're the first cuckoo I ever met who's more curious, sir, than me.
00:46:04Come on, let's go.
00:46:05Here.
00:46:17Jack.
00:46:17You know, Nebraska ain't doing that just for exercise.
00:46:31Unless I miss my guess, old Hank Holderness is fixing himself a hideout again the day of judgment.
00:46:36Come on.
00:46:36Come on.
00:46:46Come on.
00:46:46Come on.
00:46:55Hey, Port.
00:46:55The boys in town passed a word you wanted to see me.
00:47:02Haven't you got any better sense than to be riding in here in broad daylight?
00:47:05I made sure the course was clear.
00:47:07What's on your mind?
00:47:08You can't talk here.
00:47:09Go ahead and talk.
00:47:11There ain't been a sign of life around this place in more than an hour.
00:47:16How would you like to make a couple of hundred dollars?
00:47:20Depends on how much work I have to do to earn it.
00:47:22That rock picker's been getting in my way around here.
00:47:27Yeah, I heard about him.
00:47:31Hand all the money.
00:47:33He's a hundred now.
00:47:35You get the rest.
00:47:37After.
00:47:38Where is he?
00:47:40He's up in Crimson Glory Meadows.
00:47:43I'll find him.
00:47:52Hey, Nebraska.
00:48:04What's the best way to get up to the Crimson Glory?
00:48:06Well, if we don't know the short trail, it's best to go around them by Satan's past.
00:48:11What are they heading up there for?
00:48:13Got a little job to do.
00:48:14Oh.
00:48:15Who's going to get it in the back this time?
00:48:18Rock picker.
00:48:18Oh, Miss Schnell.
00:48:35Oh, Miss Schnell.
00:48:36Oh, Miss Schnell.
00:48:36Jack, you've got to get away from here.
00:49:06Why?
00:49:07Chick Chance is coming up here.
00:49:08He's going to kill you.
00:49:09What for?
00:49:10Who's Chick Chance?
00:49:11One holiness man.
00:49:12A fellow with a smile like a knife.
00:49:13Always whistling.
00:49:16Whistling?
00:49:20I think I know the gentleman.
00:49:22Well, he's coming around by Satan's pass.
00:49:24Oh, Jack, please.
00:49:25Please get out of here.
00:49:30Yes.
00:49:31Yes, I'd better go.
00:49:32Ride down to the oasis.
00:49:33You'll be safe there.
00:49:36Jack!
00:49:37Jack, you're going the wrong direction.
00:49:45Why, he's riding toward the pass.
00:49:46Yeah.
00:49:47I never saw such a fellow for riding into the wrong places.
00:49:50I never saw such a fellow for riding into the wrong places.
00:50:02kaikki?
00:50:03She'll see if she beat the gun.
00:50:14Describe the rider's and a very young life.
00:50:16When is some Saw Simon?
00:50:17Miss Monson?
00:50:18Miss Monson?
00:50:19Yes.
00:50:20Your first달� 54 years old, men were like this.
00:50:21Remember me, Mr. Chance?
00:50:45Oh, you...
00:50:47You're John Abbott.
00:50:48Yeah.
00:50:50What's the matter?
00:50:51Forgotten how to whistle?
00:51:21I almost wish you hadn't come up here today, Miriam.
00:51:34I'll miss you more than ever now.
00:51:37I'll miss you too, Jack.
00:51:39This afternoon's been the happiest I've ever known.
00:51:41Hi, Danny.
00:51:58What's up?
00:51:59I wrote up to tell you the news, Jack, but I guess Miriam's beat me to it.
00:52:04What is it?
00:52:04Well, Father sent me to carry the word to the Aretar Ranches that...
00:52:09What word?
00:52:13Well, hasn't she told you that she's going to marry Snap Thornton two weeks from today?
00:52:20Miriam.
00:52:21I'll go with you in a minute, Davy.
00:52:27Miriam, it isn't true, is it?
00:52:29Jack, there are some forces too strong to fight.
00:52:34What do you mean?
00:52:34What forces?
00:52:36All my life I've been taught to obey my father's every wish.
00:52:40It's too late to change now.
00:52:41But...
00:52:42But he can't marry you off to someone you don't love.
00:52:45It isn't fair.
00:52:45It isn't right.
00:52:46He made a promise to Snap, and right or wrong, it must be kept.
00:52:54And I thought you loved me.
00:52:57I do.
00:52:59You know that.
00:53:01Oh, please try to understand.
00:53:02I can't bring more trouble to my father now.
00:53:05Don't you see?
00:53:06I see he doesn't care what he does to you.
00:53:08Oh, don't say anything unkind, please.
00:53:12I'll never forget you, Jack.
00:53:15Never.
00:53:16Where are you going?
00:53:36What difference does it make?
00:53:37I'm getting out of here.
00:53:38So, are you going to quit without trying, huh?
00:53:41Running away from this thing you want most.
00:53:44Why didn't you just grab her, throw her on a horse, and run off with her?
00:53:49Oh, maybe you're scared of Snap, is that it?
00:53:52No, I'm not scared of Snap.
00:53:53Well, then you're scared of Andy Nabb.
00:53:55Oh, go away, nosy.
00:53:57Well, what's the matter with you?
00:53:58Are you a man or a mouse?
00:54:00A mouse, I reckon, or you wouldn't be quitting so easy.
00:54:03Are the Nabb's any better than the Abbott's?
00:54:07How did you know my name's Abbott?
00:54:09Oh, just kind of accidental, like.
00:54:10Some letters fell out of your pocket one day when you were sick and I was taking care of your clothes.
00:54:15Now, listen, nosy.
00:54:16I know who you are, and I know who owns all the air, so shut up.
00:54:21Don't you know that women always have to do just so much blab-lain and boo-hooing when they're stuck on a fella?
00:54:29You know, women always like to feel noble and self-sacrificing.
00:54:33That's just so that afterwards they can say,
00:54:36I told you so, if things don't pan out just like they expected.
00:54:41You know, the trouble with Miriam is she's scared you'll get hurt again if you and Snap lock horns over her.
00:54:48Yeah.
00:54:50She's washed your face and tucked your bib in so long now,
00:54:53she figures you ain't got mustard enough to take care of yourself even yet.
00:54:58And I guess you ain't.
00:54:59Is that so?
00:55:00Well, I'm going to stick around here and see that wedding and be the first to congratulate the happy couple.
00:55:05Hold on now, you ain't aiming to start something.
00:55:07I'll even give her a wedding present.
00:55:09Two weeks from today.
00:55:11That's just time enough to get a letter to Chicago and back.
00:55:30Hey.
00:55:30Is there a letter here for John Abbott?
00:55:35No.
00:55:36No.
00:55:36Maybe you haven't heard, Holderness, but opening other people's mail is a penitentiary offense.
00:56:05I represent the Arata Company and Abbott since he's dead.
00:56:08You're pretty sure of Abbott's death, aren't you?
00:56:12Even a man like Chick Chance slips up once in a while.
00:56:17I'm John Abbott.
00:56:21I'll take care of that.
00:56:22You're a notary, aren't you?
00:56:33Yes, certainly.
00:56:36Notarize my signature.
00:56:37Take it easy, boys.
00:56:47What?
00:56:49What's the matter?
00:56:50What's going on in there?
00:56:51Don't mind what's going on.
00:56:52Unbuckle those guns and drop them.
00:56:57Come on, hurry up.
00:56:58Get in there.
00:57:04Come on.
00:57:07Get a move.
00:57:08This is a grantee transferring certain properties in Arata to one Miriam Nabb.
00:57:17Do you swear?
00:57:18Yes.
00:57:20Nebraska!
00:57:20I'm afraid Nebraska won't be joining us, Mr. Holderness.
00:57:26That'll be four bits to make it legal.
00:57:34Now I'll just take this record of how you've managed my estate to your own profit.
00:57:39And if I were you, I'd get out of this part of the country before the sheriff gets here.
00:57:50Get him inside.
00:57:52Come on, get in that room.
00:57:53Hurry up.
00:57:54Get a move.
00:57:57Take this, nosy.
00:57:58Well, looks like we've come to the end of our roof.
00:58:10I'm not through yet.
00:58:11Break down that door.
00:58:12We're riding for Rock Mountain hideout.
00:58:28We're riding for Rock Mountain hideout.
00:58:50We're riding for Rock Mountain hideout.
00:58:54We're riding for Rock Mountain hideout.
00:58:55Hello, Dad.
00:59:21My gift, Miriam.
00:59:23I get it, Miriam.
00:59:30Why, it's a deed to the Oasis.
00:59:34Then you're the owner of the Aritar.
00:59:36Yes, but I want you to know that whatever Holderness did wasn't done in my name.
00:59:41Why, there's no need for you to tell me that, my boy.
00:59:44Well, I'm grateful to you, Jack, but we can't accept this.
00:59:48Why not?
00:59:50My rights, the Oasis ought to belong to the Navs anyway.
00:59:56You'd better dress, dear.
01:00:20Oh, oh.
01:00:26Oh, oh.
01:00:31Oh, oh.
01:00:32Miriam
01:00:39Listen, you ain't gonna marry Snap
01:00:47I ain't gonna let you do something you'd be sorry for all the rest of your life
01:00:50I'm not thinking of myself, you know that
01:00:52Now don't give me any of them high and noble ideas
01:00:55Snap's not only a drunkard, he's a spying, lying thief
01:00:58What are you saying?
01:01:00You heard me, he's all I said he wasn't more
01:01:02Why listen, he's been working for Holderness for years
01:01:06And I can prove it
01:01:07Now here's your horse and here's the open desert
01:01:21It's the last chance you've got to get the man you really love
01:01:24Will you take it?
01:01:26Yes, I will
01:01:27Good

01:03:30We'll hold her in case the naps start anything.
01:03:42Hello, Miriam.
01:03:44What sort of a honeymoon is this, Snap?
01:03:51Davey!
01:03:52They'd call that bridle.
01:03:53You know of anyone who has a better right to it?
01:03:55It looks as if you picked the wrong place to start troubling him.
01:03:58You keep on this, Holiness.
01:04:00My Snap's my friend.
01:04:02I wouldn't think of standing in his way.
01:04:04A wedding is a wedding with a healthy oasis or someplace else.
01:04:07Please go back, Davey.
01:04:09Not without you, Miriam.
01:04:10Davey!

01:04:25He won't get very far.
01:04:27Here's a record of all the money holding this page staff.
01:04:30Been going on for years.
01:04:31We'll write against Holiness Andrew.
01:04:32Every one of us has got a score to settle with him.
01:04:33Yes, sir.
01:04:34Yeah, you're right.
01:04:35No.
01:04:36No.
01:04:37No.
01:04:38No.
01:04:39No.

01:05:05No.
01:05:06No.
01:05:07No.
01:05:08No.
01:05:09Well, maybe this will change your mind.
01:05:10Look at that.
01:05:11For taking care of Saul Nab.
01:05:12One hundred dollars.
01:05:13Snap Thornton killed your boy Saul.
01:05:16Why, David.
01:05:17Oh, what's happened?
01:05:29David, Mr. Paddy.
01:05:33Doesn't it hurt now?
01:05:37Jack, the ordinance has buried him in the past.
01:05:47David, who did it?
01:05:52Oh, yes.
01:06:17No.
01:06:19No.
01:06:20No.
01:06:21No.
01:06:22No.
01:06:25No.
01:06:27Yes.
01:06:29Yes.
01:06:31No.
01:06:33The End
01:07:03Would you go in?
01:07:29Where are you going?
01:07:30To get Miriam.
01:07:32Careful.
01:07:33You're a justice of the peace.
01:07:43This is as good a time as any for the wedding.
01:07:45Oh, that can wait until we prepare this place for defense.
01:07:49Why, you're safe enough.
01:07:50You got this place covered.
01:07:51Let's get on with my affairs.
01:07:52Now, hold on.
01:07:53Justice Quirk says such a marriage won't be legal.
01:07:59All right, then.
01:07:59I'm taking her back to the Nams.
01:08:01No, you don't.
01:08:01And keep out of there.
01:08:02I'm getting out.
01:08:03Sure.
01:08:05But you're going alone.
01:08:07What are you going to do with her?
01:08:10If it's any of your business, I'm keeping her here in case Nab writes against me.
01:08:13You're lying and you know it.
01:08:14You're figuring on marrying her yourself now that she owns the Oasis.
01:08:18That's a good idea at that.
01:08:21Now get out.
01:08:21You're lying.
01:08:40I'd hate to leave you to take care of yourself this way.
01:08:56Can't be helped.
01:09:10Where's holding this? Tell me before I...
01:09:15Oh, save your bullet, Andy.
01:09:17I ain't got long to live.
01:09:20Fighting's my business.
01:09:22Playing the lowdown on women is something I can't stem it.
01:09:27He's in the canyon at the...
01:09:30for the Rock Mountain.
01:09:32Get out! Come here!
01:09:40Come here.
