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.
00:12:01I ain't even a�orn.
00:12:06No.
00:12:07Help!
00:12:09Help!
00:12:22Help!
00:12:22Help!
00:12:23Help!
00:12:25Help!
00:12:26Help!
00:12:27Help!
00:12:28Help!
00:12:30Oh, he's in the quicksign, David.
00:12:42You're hilarious.
00:12:51Be careful, Father.
00:12:52Oh.
00:13:00All 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 a heart right now.
00:13:32I wonder who done it.
00:13:33Death in this desert always means holiness.
00:13:36He needs our hope no matter who he is.
00:13:38Bring him out, lad.
00:13:55Well, how was your patient today, Miriam?
00:13:57About the same, Father.
00:13:58No better, no worse.
00:14:00He'll prove, my child.
00:14:02The same power that delivered him from his enemies will restore him to health.
00:14:07Enemies.
00:14:09Father.
00:14:09The last man who asked me that tried to kill me.
00:14:24Well, never mind.
00:14:25Well, never mind.
00:14:26It doesn't matter.
00:14:28We judge a man here by his deeds, not by his name.
00:14:32Rest easy, and we'll have you on your feet in no time.
00:14:34I don't know how I can repay you.
00:14:38I don't know how I can repay you.
00:14:43Let's go.
00:14:44We missed you last night.
00:15:07Where were you, my lad?
00:15:09Why, uh, on the West Range.
00:15:11The stock is crowding seeping wells, and some of them should be driven out.
00:15:16Didn't look that way to me last time I was up there.
00:15:20That 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.
00:15:25Well, you sure are paying a lot of attention to him.
00:15:49Who is he?
00:15:51Another stranger lost in the desert.
00:15:52Why does your father bring strays around here?
00:15:57Well, this man might be anything.
00:15:59What difference does that make?
00:16:01He needed our help.
00:16:03Oh, snap.
00:16:04You've been drinking again.
00:16:06Oh, why won't you let liquor alone?
00:16:08You know well enough why I drink, Miriam.
00:16:11If you'd only give me some encouragement.
00:16:13Well, I like you.
00:16:14You know that.
00:16:15Sure, I know.
00:16:17The way you like everything around here.
00:16:19That isn't what I want, Miriam.
00:16:21Quiet.
00:16:21You'll awaken him.
00:16:22Oh, now, snap.
00:16:23Please go away.
00:16:24He needs rest.
00:16:38Why didn't you come right back and report?
00:16:41You know you can depend on me.
00:16:43You won't have to worry about him anymore.
00:16:45He's at the bottom of that sand pit at Satan's Pass.
00:16:48What's left of him.
00:16:51It ought to be worth a lot more than this,
00:16:52seeing as how important Abbot was to you.
00:17:02Stop that noise.
00:17:05All right.
00:17:06That's an unusual looking blanket.
00:17:28Well, it's not a blanket.
00:17:30It's a poncho.
00:17:32Here's one.
00:17:34See?
00:17:34It's woven so your head can go through here.
00:17:37Oh.
00:17:37Our men wear them on the high ranges.
00:17:39It gets mighty cold up in the plateaus.
00:17:41Beautiful colors.
00:17:43We make the dyes ourselves.
00:17:45You do?
00:17:46How?
00:17:46From roots, flowers, rocks, even from insects.
00:17:51You people seem to be able to do almost anything.
00:17:54We have to.
00:17:55Almost everything we use here we make ourselves.
00:18:01Miriam, soap and water, please.
00:18:03Yes, Father.
00:18:06Excuse me.
00:18:08Sure.
00:18:08Thornton doesn't seem to like me.
00:18:22Can't blame him, can you?
00:18:24You know, he'd give his right arm
00:18:26if Miriam worried over him
00:18:27as much as she has over you.
00:18:31But he doesn't seem to be any too fond of you, either.
00:18:34You got a keen eye, ain't you?
00:18:35No, I don't trust him.
00:18:38Bad blood.
00:18:40You know, his father was a rum runner.
00:18:42He used to cheat the Indians
00:18:43out of their ponies and blankets
00:18:45by giving them bad whiskey.
00:18:47Cousin Andy picked him up
00:18:49when he was a little shaver
00:18:50and gave him a home.
00:18:52He thinks he's the salt of the earth.
00:18:54Gonna make something out of him.
00:18:57But I'm thinking you can't make
00:18:58a lily-white dove out of a desert hawk.
00:19:05You stay here, Miriam.
00:19:25What do you want, Nebraska?
00:19:42No trouble this time, Davey.
00:19:44No holding this rider ever came here
00:19:46without bringing trouble.
00:19:47That's enough, David.
00:19:51Hey, boss is raising the ante
00:19:53on you this year, Andy.
00:19:54He wants a thousand head of steer.
00:19:57A thousand?
00:19:58Is he crazy?
00:20:00Well, he figures that the use
00:20:02of this oasis
00:20:02and the land and water
00:20:04on the West Range is worth it.
00:20:06Well, we found that water
00:20:07on the West Range
00:20:08and we opened the seeping wells.
00:20:09They belong to us.
00:20:10Holderness claims
00:20:11that all belongs
00:20:12to the Aridic Company.
00:20:14You don't have to argue
00:20:15it out with him.
00:20:16Holderness.
00:20:17Every time the nabs
00:20:18find Rich Range
00:20:19in new water,
00:20:20he claims it for his company.
00:20:22Who does Holderness work for?
00:20:24Who's behind
00:20:24that carefully concealed company
00:20:26that he always blames
00:20:27for his lawless actions?
00:20:29Well, your guess
00:20:30is as good as mine.
00:20:31Well, you go back
00:20:32and tell him
00:20:33that I live by the old law
00:20:34that says,
00:20:35render unto every man
00:20:36that which is his.
00:20:38But I'm going to fight
00:20:39the claim of his company
00:20:40to the West Range
00:20:41and seeping wells.
00:20:43And until the boundary
00:20:44is legally decided,
00:20:45I'm not going to pay him
00:20:46a thing for the use.
00:20:48Well, I'll tell him, Andy.
00:20:51But I'm warning you
00:20:52friendly like...
00:20:55You better think it over.
00:21:09Well, you...
00:21:13You don't seem to be
00:21:14on very good terms
00:21:15with your landlord.
00:21:16No.
00:21:18I'm afraid for David and Father.
00:21:20They're all I have left.
00:21:21Yes, I know.
00:21:23Knows he told me
00:21:23about your brothers.
00:21:25Holderness was responsible
00:21:26for their deaths.
00:21:27What?
00:21:27He gets rid of everything
00:21:28that stands in his way.
00:21:31Well, wouldn't it be wiser
00:21:32then to get out?
00:21:34We can't get out.
00:21:36We belong to the desert.
00:21:37We're part of it.
00:21:38It's part of us.
00:21:40And we made this oasis
00:21:41what it is.
00:21:42Bit by bit,
00:21:43we reclaimed it
00:21:43from the desert.
00:21:45It should belong to us.
00:21:47I thought it was yours.
00:21:48No.
00:21:50Holderness claimed it
00:21:50for his company.
00:21:51We merely lease it.
00:21:53He charges us
00:21:54whatever he likes.
00:21:55I should think
00:21:56you'd go to the law then.
00:21:58Holderness seems to be
00:21:59the law around here too.
00:22:00Well, what happened?
00:22:08Well, that old war horse
00:22:09just the same
00:22:10has told me to go
00:22:10and jump in the lake.
00:22:12And I might have done it too
00:22:13if there'd have been a lake.
00:22:14You should have sent me.
00:22:15Yeah?
00:22:16Well, I want to be around
00:22:17the day that you
00:22:17pulled down on Andy Nabb
00:22:18with them fancy guns of yours.
00:22:20Are you trying to tell me
00:22:21that that old kook
00:22:22can handle a gun?
00:22:23Better and the best.
00:22:24So to say,
00:22:25guess you may never
00:22:26heard of Nabb's trick.
00:22:27What do you mean,
00:22:27Nabb's trick?
00:22:28Well, I ain't never
00:22:29seen it myself
00:22:29but they say
00:22:30if he pulls it on you
00:22:31you never live
00:22:33to profit by it.
00:22:33That's enough of that.
00:22:34Come on in here with me.
00:22:45I think they need
00:22:46another lesson.
00:22:47Now take some men
00:22:48go to the West Range
00:22:49and blow up seeping wells.
00:22:51Well, it's only water
00:22:51and 30 miles.
00:22:52That's why I want it done.
00:22:54I just done my part
00:22:55of this particular dirty job.
00:22:57I ain't carrying no war
00:22:58to dumb cattle
00:22:59that can't defend themselves.
00:23:00It's old Square Deal,
00:23:01Nebraska talking again.
00:23:03Oh, shut up.
00:23:05Chance, you do it.
00:23:07All right, hurry it up, man.
00:23:23Come on.
00:23:24All right, boys.
00:23:38Come on.
00:23:39You've walked a long way.
00:24:04You'd better rest.
00:24:05Oh, I'm not tired.
00:24:07I am thirsty.
00:24:08Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:10I'll be back.
00:24:10Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:13Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:14Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:15Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:15Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:16Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:16Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:17Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:18Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:19Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:20Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:21Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:22Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:23Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:24Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:25Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:26Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:27Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:28Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:29Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:30Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:31Oh, I forgot to feed honey.
00:24:32I've been wanting to have a little talk with you, mister.
00:24:44Well, here I am.
00:24:45What is it?
00:24:46Who are you?
00:24:48Where did you come from?
00:24:49Well, that happens to be my business.
00:24:51Well, I'm making it mine.
00:24:53When are you getting out of here?
00:24:55Oh, that all depends.
00:24:58Well, I'd make it soon if I were you.
00:25:01Why should I?
00:25:02You know what I mean.
00:25:04I'm letting no one come between Miriam and me.
00:25:07I'll kill anybody who tries.
00:25:09You understand?
00:25:12I'm leaving here when Andrew Nabb tells me to.
00:25:15Not before.
00:25:18Then whatever happens to you, remember, you brought it on yourself.
00:25:21Anything wrong, Jack?
00:25:37No, nothing to worry about.
00:25:46Where are you going, David?
00:25:48To the West Range.
00:25:49Trouble comes from Holderness.
00:25:50That's where it'll begin.
00:25:52Why don't you take Snap with him?
00:25:53I don't trust you.
00:25:56Oh, you've let nosy poison your mind.
00:25:59Don't you think I can see for myself?
00:26:01And so could you.
00:26:02But you tolerate things from Snap you wouldn't take from your own flesh and blood.
00:26:05Well, just what do you mean, son?
00:26:09You'll find him, father.
00:26:10You'll see what I mean.
00:26:11You'll see what I mean.
00:26:41You'll see what I mean.
00:27:11Snap!
00:27:12Snap!
00:27:27Snap!
00:27:31Lord, I might have killed you.
00:27:35Maybe I'd been better off if you had.
00:27:37Oh, no.
00:27:38Come on.
00:27:41You know the trail of misery that stuff brings.
00:27:45Why do you touch it?
00:27:49It's, uh...
00:27:50It'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.
00:28:00I started drinking when I saw her falling in love with another man.
00:28:04The man who never worked for her and fought for her the way I have.
00:28:07Who is he?
00:28:08Who is he?
00:28:09Who is he?
00:28:10Well, you don't even know his name.
00:28:11He isn't honest.
00:28:12He couldn't be or he wouldn't have anything to hide.
00:28:14Well, maybe it would be better if I sent him away, but I can't turn the man out.
00:28:20Well, it's either him or me.
00:28:24Oh, I guess it doesn't make any difference what happens to me now.
00:28:26No, I'm not going to let you go.
00:28:28Not like this.
00:28:32If I was sure of Miriam, I'd never touch another drop again as long as I live.
00:28:36I swear it.
00:28:41Will you take that pledge on the book?
00:28:43Yes, Father Neb.
00:28:49Come with me.
00:28:59Nosey will drive you wherever you care to go.
00:29:02I 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.
00:29:09If 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.
00:29:20Goodbye, Miriam.
00:29:21Goodbye, Jack.
00:29:22Goodbye, Jack.
00:29:39The seaping 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 better come with us.
00:30:00Nosey, what's the formation of the soil around those wells?
00:30:11Well, it's rocky and kind of steep up above them.
00:30:15Have 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?
00:30:38You'll see.
00:30:39You ain't no cow man.
00:30:40What can you do up yonder?
00:30:41I might be able to find some water.
00:30:43Believe it or not, I studied geology in college.
00:30:46Yeah?
00:30:47What are you going to do with that thing?
00:30:49That's a divining rod.
00:30:51I'm going to find that lost channel.
00:30:53And I didn't learn how and know it.
00:30:55I didn't learn how and no college either.
00:31:25It'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.
00:31:34Why, 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.
00:31:42Come on.
00:31:43Come on.
00:31:44Come on.
00:31:46Come on.
00:31:55Come on.
00:32:00No, no, no, no.
00:32:02No!
00:32:03No!
00:32:04No!
00:32:05No!
00:32:06No!
00:32:07No!
00:32:08No!
00:32:09No!
00:32:10No!
00:32:11No!
00:32:26Whoa.
00:32:28They sure did blow it out, didn't they?
00:32:30Yeah.
00:32:34Well, I'll soon find water for you again.
00:32:37You don't really believe in that thing, do you?
00:32:39Sure.
00:32:40Divining rod is good enough for Moses.
00:32:41I reckon it's good enough for me.
00:32:43Say, that rock strata works down to a depression point right there.
00:32:47That means water.
00:32:49Oh, you're crazy.
00:32:51Well, I've got plenty of company, anyway.
00:32:53I know I'm loco.
00:32:55But you're a loonier than I am, cause you think you've got sense.
00:32:59All the water you can find up there, you can put in your eye.
00:33:02Let's go and find out.
00:33:03Mm-hmm.
00:33:04Mm-hmm.
00:33:05Mm-hmm.
00:33:06Mm-hmm.
00:33:08Mm-hmm-×”-
00:33:25Mm-hmm.
00:33:26I don't know.
00:33:56Looks like you found something, all right.
00:34:13Yeah.
00:34:14Who's crazy now?
00:34:15I hate to tell you.
00:34:18Cap one of those for me, will you, Nosy?
00:34:20Yeah, sure.
00:34:26Give me a couple of sticks.
00:34:28Oh, my God.
00:34:58All right, let's get out of here.
00:35:06Let's get out of here.
00:35:14Let's get out of here.
00:35:16Let's get out of here.
00:35:24Let's get out of here.
00:35:32Let's get out of here.
00:35:40Let's get out of here.
00:35:42Let's get out of here.
00:35:52Let's get out of here.
00:36:00Let's get out of here.
00:36:02Let's get out of here.
00:36:03Let's get out of here.
00:36:04Let's get out of here.
00:36:06Let's get out of here.
00:36:08How do you like that for a miracle, Andy?
00:36:10And there's water enough there to make a garden spot out of this too.
00:36:15Don't 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?
00:36:29All right, if you let me.
00:36:32As long as you like.
00:36:34That goes for all of us, Jack.
00:36:45Come in.
00:36:57Well, you sure outsmarted yourself when you plugged up the seeping wells.
00:37:00Well, they got more water up there now than they know what to do with.
00:37:05Who found the water?
00:37:07The tenderfoot, the nabs picked up in the desert.
00:37:10Supposed to be a geologist.
00:37:13A rock picker.
00:37:14What's his name?
00:37:16He calls himself Jack.
00:37:17Jack what?
00:37:18I don't know. I never heard.
00:37:19I don't think anybody knows if he has a last name.
00:37:22He's the kind of a fellow that's trying to come between Miriam and me.
00:37:26What sort of a man is he?
00:37:28Why don't you take a ride out to the oasis and see for yourself?
00:37:34I think I will.
00:37:44You mean these are all for me?
00:37:49Well, 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.
00:37:59I don't know what to say.
00:38:01You don't have to say anything.
00:38:03You've earned them.
00:38:04Why, you haven't seen the best present of all yet.
00:38:19There it is.
00:38:20You, you're not giving me silver mane too.
00:38:25Yes.
00:38:27He's a great horse, Jack.
00:38:30Be good to him, won't you?
00:38:31Be good to him, won't you?
00:38:41It's holiness.
00:38:52Just give me that, David.
00:38:56There's me.
00:39:01So you're the rock picker.
00:39:14You mean I'm a geologist?
00:39:16Yes.
00:39:17How did you know?
00:39:19Oh, 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.
00:39:25Thanks.
00:39:26I may do that.
00:39:28But right now I happen to be working for Mr. Knapp.
00:39:31You look lovely, Miriam.
00:39:33How are things with you and Snap?
00:39:38What do you want?
00:39:43A thousand head of cattle, when do I get them?
00:39:45For ten years, Holderness, we've been persecuted by you.
00:39:49In the name of your company, you've plundered and pillaged
00:39:53and killed all who refuse to pay you tribute.
00:39:56Three of my sons are dead because of you.
00:39:58That's enough, Nab.
00:40:00You're rotten all the way through, Holderness.
00:40:03You fattening the lifeblood of every family in this desert.
00:40:08Why, you blabbering old fool.
00:40:10I'll show you.
00:40:11I'll show you.
00:40:24Well, Nab's trick.
00:40:26Hey, I never would have believed it.
00:40:30You're alive today only because there's a higher law than man's.

00:43:42I had to wait for this, and it was worth waiting for.
00:43:44No other girl in Aretai ever had one like it.
00:43:48Miriam!
00:43:55It's for you. Open it.
00:44:22Well, aren't you going to say something, Miriam?
00:44:25It's beautiful.

00:44:35See?

00:44:35See?
00:44:36See?
00:44:36See?
00:44:36See?
00:45:06Father, 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.
00:45:26Ride through the Aradha.
00:45:28Tell all our friends that Snap and Miriam are going to be married two weeks from today.
00:45:36Let'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.
00:45:53Expect to find more water over there too?
00:45:55Maybe.
00:45:57You know why I like you?
00:45:59You're the first cuckoo I ever met who's more curious, sir, than me.
00:46:03Come on, let's go.
00:46:05Yeah.
00:46:16Jack.
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.
00:47:06If this was clear, what's on your mind?
00:47:08We 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.
00:47:24That rock thick has been getting in my way around here.
00:47:27Yeah.
00:47:28I 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.
00:47:43Hey, Nebraska, what's the best way to get up to the Crimson Glory?
00:48:06Well, if he don't know the short trail, it's best to go around him 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 Nair.
00:48:35Oh, Miss Nair.
00:48:36Oh, Miss Nair.
00:48:36Oh, Miss Nair.
00:48:48Jack, 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?
00:49:09Who's Chick Chance?
00:49:10One holding this man.
00:49:11A fellow with a smile like a knife.
00:49:13Always whistling.
00:49:16Whistling?
00:49:18I think I know the gentleman.
00:49:22Well, he's coming around by Satan's past.
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.
00:49:45He's riding toward the pass.
00:49:46Yeah.
00:49:47I never saw such a fellow
00:49:49for riding into the wrong places.
00:49:51It is.
00:49:59It is.
00:50:08I just want to have a job.
00:50:09This is because of his manners.
00:50:10He'scycle.
00:50:11It's his girlfriend.
00:50:11You'll be safe on this.
00:50:12That's how he lives.
00:50:13He's taking eight hours over...
00:50:13Just like your man
00:50:14and getting to be out.
00:50:16She's taking a girl on a lap.
00:50:17Look at him.
00:50:19They're acting not up.
00:50:19Captain.
00:50:42Remember me, Mr. Chance?
00:50:46Why, you, you're John Abbott.
00:50:49Yeah, what's the matter, forgotten how to whistle?
00:51:19I 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 Thornton.
00:52:49Right or wrong, it must be kept.
00:52:50And 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.
00:53:20Where are you going?
00:53:36What difference does it make?
00:53:37I'm getting out of here.
00:53:38So, you're going to quit without trying, huh?
00:53:41Running away from the thing you want most.
00:53:44Why didn't you just grab her, throw her on a horse, and run off with her?
00:53:47Oh, 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, Nosey.
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 Nabs any better than the Abbots?
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,
00:54:13and I was taking care of your clothes.
00:54:15Now, listen, Nosey.
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 blah-blah-ing
00:54:25and boo-hooing when they're stuck on a fella?
00:54:28You 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.
00:54:40You know, the trouble with Miriam is she's scared you'll get hurt again
00:54:45if you and Snapp lock horns over her.
00:54:48Yeah.
00:54:49She'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?
00:55:01Well, I'm going to stick around here and see that wedding
00:55:03and be the first to congratulate the happy couple.
00:55:05Hold on now, you ain't aiming to start...
00:55:07Even give her a wedding present two weeks from today.
00:55:11That's just time enough to get a letter to Chicago and back.
00:55:30Hey.
00:55:33Is there a letter here for John Abbott?
00:55:35No.
00:55:37Maybe you haven't heard, Holderness,
00:56:02but opening other people's mail is a penitentiary offence.
00:56:05I represent the Arata Company.
00:56:07And Abbott, since he's dead.
00:56:10Pretty sure of Abbott's death, aren't you?
00:56:13Even a man like Chick Chance slips up once in a while.
00:56:17I'm John Abbott.
00:56:18I'll take care of that.
00:56:32You're a notary, aren't you?
00:56:33Yes, certainly.
00:56:36Notarize my signature.
00:56:36Take it easy, boys.
00:56:48What?
00:56:49What's the matter?
00:56:50Hello.
00:56:50What's going on in there?
00:56:51You don't mind what's going on.
00:56:52Unbuckle those guns and drop them.
00:56:57Come on, hurry up.
00:57:03Get in there.
00:57:05Come on.
00:57:06This is a grantee transferring certain properties in Arata to one Miriam Naab.
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 for 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.
00:58:28I'm not around for that.
00:58:29We're riding for Rock développ.
00:58:30Take this.
00:58:30I'm not through yet.
00:58:31One, two, two, one.
00:58:32One, two, three, four, two.
00:58:33One, two.
00:58:34One, three, four, two.
00:58:34One, two, three, two.
00:58:35One, three, four, four, three, seven.
00:58:49Hello, Dad.
00:59:19I get it, Miriam.
00:59:31What's the deed to the Oasis?
00:59:34Then you're the owner of the Aritar.
00:59:37Yes, but I want you to know that whatever Holderness did wasn't done in my name.
00:59:42Why, there's no need for you to tell me that, my boy.
00:59:45Well, I'm grateful to you, Jack, but we can't accept this.
00:59:49Why not?
00:59:51My rights, the Oasis ought to belong to the Navs anyway.
00:59:57You'd better dress, dear.
01:00:19Why not?
01:00:29Miriam.
01:00:32Miriam.
01:00:45Listen, you ain't going to marry Snap.
01:00:47I ain't going to let you do something you'll 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.
01:00:59What are you saying?
01:00:59You heard me. He's all I said he wasn't more.
01:01:02Why, listen. He's been working for Holderness for years, and I can prove it.
01:01:19Now, 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.
01:01:29Miriam, meet you at the railroad station at Granite Junction.
01:01:42Thanks, Josie.
01:01:50Miriam.
01:01:50She's gone. She's riding out across the desert.
01:02:09You had something to do with this.
01:02:10Miriam's horse is gone.
01:02:22You're staying here, Jack.
01:02:24You're staying here, Jack.
01:03:09We'll hold her in case the naps start in it.
01:03:39Hello, Miriam.
01:03:49What sort of a honeymoon is this, Snap?
01:03:51Davey!
01:03:52They call that bridle.
01:03:53You know of anyone who has a better right to it?
01:03:56It looks as if you picked the wrong place to start troubling him.
01:03:59You 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.
01:04:08Please go back, Davey.
01:04:09Not without you, Miriam.
01:04:11Davey!
01:04:12Go!
01:04:14Drive for Father, Davey!
01:04:16You won't get very far.
01:04:27Here's a record of all the money holding this page, Snap.
01:04:53Been going on for years.
01:04:54We'll ride against Holiness Andrew.
01:04:55Every one of us has got a score to settle with him.
01:04:57Yes, sir.
01:05:01Well, maybe this will change your mind.
01:05:03Look at that.
01:05:04For taking care of Saul Nabb.
01:05:06One hundred dollars.
01:05:08Snap Thorton killed your boy Saul.
01:05:16Why, it's David!
01:05:17Oh, what's happened?
01:05:29David.
01:05:30Mr. David.
01:05:33Doesn't it hurt enough?
01:05:37Jack.
01:05:37The Holiness has buried him in the past.
01:05:42Oh, I'm sorry.
01:05:43I'm sorry.
01:05:43I'm sorry.
01:05:43I'm sorry.
01:05:43I'm sorry.
01:05:44I'm sorry.
01:05:45I'm sorry.
01:05:48David.
01:05:49David.
01:05:49Who did it?
01:05:54Hold it.
01:06:12Let's go.
01:06:42Let's go.
01:07:12Now, won't you go in?
01:07:19Where are you going?
01:07:30To get Miriam.
01:07:32Careful.
01:07:41You'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.
01:07:49You got this place covered.
01:07:51Let's get on with my affairs.
01:07:52Now, hold on.
01:07:53Just as Quirk says, such a marriage won't be legal.
01:07:59All right, then.
01:07:59I'm taking her back to the Nabs.
01:08:01No, you don't.
01:08:01And keep out of there.
01:08:02I'm getting out.
01:08:04Sure.
01:08:05But you're going alone.
01:08:07What are you going to do with her?
01:08:08If it's any of your business, I'm keeping her here in case Nabs 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.
01:08:21Let's go.
01:08:51I'm going to leave you to take care of yourself this way.
01:08:56And it can't be helped.
01:09:17Where's holding this?
01:09:18Tell me before I...
01:09:19Oh, save your bullet, Andy.
01:09:21I ain't got long to live.
01:09:25Fighting's my business.
01:09:27Playing the lowdown on women is something I can't stem it.
01:09:33He's in the canyon at the...
01:09:35for the Rock Mountain.
01:09:36Get out.
01:09:37Come here.
01:09:39Get out.
01:09:39There he is.
01:09:49Mosey along.
01:09:53The Rock Mountain.
01:09:55...
01:09:57That's all.
01:09:59It's all.
01:10:00I'll be right back.
01:10:01Oh, sure.
01:10:01Mr.
01:10:03Look.
01:10:04I'm looking for a blessing.
01:10:05I'm coming for you.
01:10:07Oh, yeah.
01:10:09Little boy.
01:10:10By the way.
01:10:11Oh, yeah.
01:10:12I'm looking for this.
01:10:13To be the years, I'll be right back.
01:10:14I'll be right back.
01:10:15Over the way.
01:10:16To be the first I can't speak.
01:10:16Look out, Jack.
01:10:46Look out, Jack.
01:11:16Andy, he's riding at last.
01:11:33Andy, he's riding at last.
01:12:03Andy, he's riding at last.
01:12:33Go on, go on.
01:12:39I'll let you have it.
01:12:40Go on, go on.
01:12:48Go on, go on.
01:13:00Go on, go on.
01:13:12Isn't it beautiful?
01:13:14I'll always love this desert, Miriam.
01:13:17It's brought me everything I've ever wanted.
01:13:22Our heritage.
01:13:24Yours and mine.
01:13:25Alan.
01:13:27Alan.
