我的意思是，你不能确切地说 那是肘对肘的方式。
你得到了你的马。不要按你的运气。
告诉我一些事情，巴克。 你对我有什么不满？
没什么，除了这是一个愚蠢的农民 让黄鼠狼在鸡舍里旅行。
当我看到一个东方人时，我就知道了。
这些人不适合采摘。
我告诉过你我不是东方人。 我是一个传教士。
另一方面，你可以说 西边有螨虫。
阿门，兄弟。
五重，阿门。
啊！啊！
啊！哇！

你想要什么，中士？
我有一辆货车火车经过。
四十人之首， 不包括儿童。

你有五天时间过去。
这很紧迫。他们有对不起马 和破旧的骡子。
五天。
好的。
十块钱一个。
我在想六块钱。
八。
他们必须熬过冬天， 他们有了孩子。
你告诉他孩子不值八岁。
八。孩子没什么。
他们将需要食物。 如果我杀了三头水牛，我就能过得去。
一头水牛。
我丈夫说两个水牛，如果你必须的话。
谢谢你，辛西。
兄弟，你是一个多方面的人。
你怎么知道迪克 和他们一样的印度人？
你跟踪我干什么？
我？事实是，我迷路了。
我赞美上帝我找到了你的踪迹
或者我可能已经死在这里了 像一个异教徒。
托比？托比？
天啊！
来吧，现在。在那里。那挺好的。
这里。现在没事了。
那里，那里。那里。
给我一些水。
而且钱没了。全部 1,400 美元。
我们将如何度过冬天？ 我们从哪里得到食物和种子？
没有用。我们已经转身了。
本尼，苏珊娜，
铜匠汤姆，约瑟夫。
瑞秋的托比。
都死了。
但山谷在那里。
绿色和狂野。
在那里。
我们要继续。
你没有补给，没有食物。
你不能熬过冬天。
然后我们死在雪地里。
不，你不会死在雪地里的。
- 老人说我们继续，嗯？ -是的。
好吧，那么，上帝保佑，我们要走了。
但现在你知道我们没有钱 付给你我们欠你的钱。
没关系。您为安全通行付费 通过印度土地。
- 你会穿过盐井的北边。 -嗯。
你只有五天时间过去。
我会在某个地方找到你 佩科斯以北。
什么都没有留给你，东方人。
你可以来也可以走。没关系。
你听说过铜泉吗？
-十名骑手，老板叫德夏。 -你怎么认识他的？
他们用你的马抓住了我 在一个叫做法国人福特的小站。
他们问了很多刻薄的问题。 现在我知道为什么了。
铜泉？
我听到他们说他们在那里打洞。
我记得他们每个人的脸。
德夏，等一下。
-好吧，奥利，情况如何？ -我想跟你说话。
欣喜的。弗洛伊德，给我一杯波旁威士忌。
你遇到了一对 那边的马车火车。
好吧，我们只是聊了几句而已。
现在你听我说，德夏。
没有人会被枪杀， 在这个小镇上也没有被打断，也没有被烧毁
只要我对此有发言权，
这适用于有色 以及其他任何人。
好吧，现在，奥利， 我只是骑马去取我的邮件
并花一点时间 在以斯帖家就完事了。
没关系。我告诉你。
那些人可以自由出入 随心所欲。这就是法律。
警长，你有任何官方投诉 反对我和我的孩子们？
我的意思是，我们是真正的劳工招聘者
受雇于三角洲种植园主 路易斯安那州协会。
那里有一种完整的生活方式 那是下水道了。
我们不希望看到它被浪费掉。
我不在乎你为谁工作。 这不是路易斯安那州。
现在，你在我的镇上走得很轻。
就是他们。 Deshay是那个戴着帽子的人。
里面只有八个人。
是的。另外两个在沙龙里。
You stud yin' on takin' 8 'em 一口气？
五。三个人在楼上忙。
是的，但他们不会永远被束缚。
我只是要让他们措手不及。
让我和他们谈谈。
你让他们措手不及。
祝福这个家！
我是威利斯•奥克斯•卢瑟福牧师
高阶和低阶的 圣洁劝说教会的成员。
滚出这里。
你—你记得我们有 以前遇到过吗？
- 是那个老传教士。 -是的，兄弟。
看，我经营着一个选择性的房子。
- 这不是你的新奥尔良婴儿床之一。 -住口。
你想要什么？
嗯，先生，呃，你确实记得
有一个卑鄙的罪人 你对 Buck 的名字感兴趣。
你知道他在哪里吗？
他们有看不见的眼睛， 直到它们被打开！
不要和我开玩笑。
哦，我可不是小事，先生。
但我—我似乎确实记得 提到了一笔款项。
准确地说，五百美元。
他在哪里？
是的，虽然他像影子一样逃跑， 但我要带你到他那里去！
但是要500美元。
现在看，我不会和你讨价还价。
你告诉我们他在哪里。 然后也许我们谈论金钱。
你会把他赶出我家吗？ 我要考虑我的名声。
“你使那个女人耶洗别受苦， 自称为女先知的人，
教导和引诱我的仆人 行淫。”
启示录，第二章。
- 他到底在这儿做什么？ - 他在说教。
没错，兄弟。我在说教。 我的文字是淫乱。
“行淫的人 得罪自己的身体。”
哥林多前书 1.
就是你，以斯帖。
淫乱。这就是毁灭之道。
淫乱。淫乱。 这就是他们教导国家的方式。
感觉家里在说教，嗯？
只要你停止这种淫乱！
哇哈哈！
有钱人娶了他一个配偶。 可怜的人，他只是通奸。是的先生。
是的先生。哇哦！
他们在鼓掌。他们在等。 是没有时间 fornicatin'。
我是巴克。
我相信这本好书。
这里不超过一百美元。
我得到了大约30个。
钱在哪里？
它在哪里？
-钱！ -来吧，巴克！
来吧，我在和你说话。它在哪里？
来吧，巴克，我们得行动了！
来吧，传教士。
坚持我，耶稣。
你会快点吗？
他们到底要做什么， 跟踪我们穿过四英里的绵羊池？
他们不必这样做。 他们知道我要去哪里。
他们以前去过那里。
一百五十七美元。
他们喝醉了然后搞砸了 超过一千美元。
这喝多了。
他们甚至没有我的500。
什么500？
他们会付钱给我来送你。
嗯，我在这里，不是吗？
他们死了，不是吗？
啊！
是的。
哦，巴克！耶稣！
你没事吧？
我跑到安妮•彭内贝克家 她带我进去了。
- 他们没有伤害你吗？ -在我的头上铐了一些，仅此而已。
就这样。
他们袭击了圣安妮教区的人。
他们杀了一些，然后把它们烧掉了。
-嗯，你最好休息一下。 -我没有时间。
我不知道你是活着还是死了。
我不能回来。 他们本来可以等着的。
我知道我知道。
马在灌木丛中。
那是露丝。露丝，这是传教士。
您的仆人，夫人。
你们都坐下。 我给你弄点吃的。
我们在哪里可以得到一些马在这里？
Liza Pennebaker 有马。
不用担心。我们可以信任他们。 她是我的朋友。
几匹马？
至少一个，给你。
你必须来。他们来过一次， 他们可以再来。
- 他们还在追你？ - 不是所有人。有些死了。
八，准确的说。
我们向北走，就像我们说的那样？去加拿大？
不，我们—我们不能。还没有。
那么，为什么不呢？
我们要去哪里？
你在这个国家做了你能做的 一切都以火和坟墓告终。
我不会再住在这片土地上 你听见了吗？
战争并没有改变什么或没有人。
这是— II-就像毒药 浸入地下。
他们不会'给我们任何东西'。 不是没有 40 英亩，也没有骡子。
而不是自由，也不是。
它—就像毒药 浸入地下。
你知道，时间不多了。
我不想度过余生 洗别人的衣服。
我想和你一起住在某个地方，巴克， 喜欢自然人。
我——我想要你的孩子 我想在某个地方抚养他们
甚至没有的地方 奴隶制的影子。
我想到了缝纫，你知道， 为我的家人做漂亮的东西
而我的手还稳。
我想和你一起去一个地方，巴克。
我——我想要你的孩子， 但我不会让他们在这里。
我要去某个地方。
他们不会让我们在加拿大，
我会去大海的边缘 我会离开这里。
圣安妮教区民...
他们要去那里 他们没有食物，没有种子……
冬天来临时，它们会挨饿。
巴克，亲爱的，你只是一个人。
但我答应了。
吃你的饭。
我去看看那些马。
你研究什么，亲爱的？
你为所有的杀戮而烦恼。
不。
我以前杀过人。
我只是不知道 哪条路转不了了。
我想他们打败了我。
司机不能在奴隶制中做到这一点 天，也不是战争中的叛军。
但现在我想……他们打败了我。
你只是累了。
你知道，当天黑的时候，它看起来像 心脏有时会受到伤害。
你会继续战斗 最好的方法。
看来没有别的办法了。
我爱你，巴克。
你从哪里弄到他们的大炮？
莱文沃思堡的枪匠。
你从哪儿弄来的那本有趣的圣经？
嗯，那是我的遗产。
战前，当我还是个孩子的时候，
我妈妈和我被卖了 到这里旅行的传教士。
我会为他取来 并开始收藏。
而当他喝醉的时候， 我会把他拉到床上去。
他曾经在这些小镇旅行， 宣扬罪恶和地狱之火。
当他得到他们的女孩 充满圣灵，
当他们准备悔改时， 他会搞定他们。
在这期间他会... 带我妈妈上床睡觉
我会和马一起睡。
渐渐地，大约 16 岁， 他派我去城里买一壶威士忌。
我回来的时候，妈妈已经不在了。
他以几百美元的价格卖掉了她。
那天晚上他喝醉了
他说，呃，“男孩，让我上床睡觉。”
所以我把那个人带进了晒黑场 由石灰坑。
我让他就在那里睡觉。
我用雪松围栏把他抱在下面。
没有近亲， 所以我得到了马车，那匹马……
传教士的衣服和这本有趣的圣经。
你去哪里找那笔钱？
我不知道。
如果是我，我会—我会找钱 钱存放在哪里。
就像在银行一样。或者快递公司。
我们只是骑在某个城镇， 走进他们的银行，然后拿走，是吧？
没错，兄弟。
我只知道那个地方。
他们没有警长，没有副警长 几乎没有男人
因为他们都在乡下 追着两只可怜的野手。
你疯了。
是的。
你想要什么，男孩？
你发出声音 你是个死人。
我们没有一整天的时间。
盒子里装了什么？
-盒子里装了什么？ -美国政府装运。
运送什么？
什么？
金子。
金子！
亲爱的上帝，全能的，那是金子。
纸币在哪里？
没有。
我把现金押金寄给了银行。
你会摆脱它吗？
那是一团糟的黄金。
你不能把它骑在马上。
钥匙在哪里？必须有一把钥匙。
它在德克萨斯州。
他们总是单独发送密钥。
他说的是实话。 但必须有纸币。
现在，我要问你最后一次了。
哪里来的纸币？
我告诉你了。在银行。
我寄过去了。
-你认为呢？ -我勒个去。
否则我们就浪费了 整个上午。
嘘！
小队骑马过去。警长和他们在一起。
嗯，就是这样。让我们离开这里。
牧师。
我要去那家银行。
那家银行在街对面 从警长办公室。
那里有很多钱。
否则我们就浪费了 整个上午。
你是那个疯狂的人。
等待！等待！
早安，以斯帖小姐。 你今天感觉如何？
更好一些，谢谢。
这样的事情不容易忘记。 但生活还要继续。
我今天的钱够你银行用吗？
- 钱就是钱，女士。 - 也来之不易。
罪的工价。 才 30 岁，我得到 3% 的收益。
有人用一些东西粘住了我 俄亥俄州的钞票。他们有什么好处吗？
这取决于偿付能力 该特定银行的。
耽误！耽误！
耽误！
啊！
- 他们会逃跑的。 -是的。
你开枪，男孩，我们就死定了。
你要辞职吗？
记得那辆货车 你们开枪了吗？
-是的。 - 他们再也没有回来。
我想知道他们是否有计划 加入他们。
他说他不会为你而战。
我明白。
告诉他我只是需要帮助 打通我的人民。
他们需要补给。
我可以付钱。
干肉，他能卖多少就卖多少。 马，粉末和射击。
五匹马。
没有粉。
没有枪。
再问他。
告诉他—告诉他我们都是兄弟。
他不会给你枪的，中士。 他们来得太猛了。
-食物？ - 肉干。
面粉。玉米。
不要要求更多。
他阻止了那支队伍，因为他给了 他的话让你的人安全通过。
——他不会再做了。 -再问他一次。
告诉他他们只是在寻找 为自己的土地，
他们将不得不 拼尽全力去寻找它，
因为他们不能住在那里，不可能。
在黄头发之前，
我的父亲，我的祖父 狩猎水牛和赛跑的小马
把女人带到福克斯河所在的土地上 穿过骷髅地的草原，
现在是谢里登堡的铜泉。
现在我们背靠背在这里 对雪山。
黄发送车， 士兵和说话的电线。
明天我们会像鬼一样，
就像梦中出现的灵魂 没有地球可走。
但我们会战斗。
我们将奋斗十年十年
和我们孩子的孩子 还是会打。
我们需要我们的枪、子弹和火药 为了我们自己的战斗。
告诉他他的敌人是我们的敌人。
他说，你们黑人战斗 与那个敌人对抗我们的人民。
我不再参军了。
他知道，巴克。
没有枪。没有子弹。
一千八百元。 那是你的份额。
对于我们刚刚收到的， 我们奉耶稣的名感谢，阿们！
我要向东回到伊利诺伊州， 我要给我买一个帐篷，
我会拥有最大的 该死的复兴会议
自从所罗门王传道 对他的妻妾。
阿门。
而你，兄弟， 你那里有个好女人。
你应该拿那笔钱 给自己买一份生活
做她想做的事，也许— 去加拿大。
好的，兄弟，一个问题。
我怎么离开这里？
去伊利诺伊州？
一两种方式。
你可以原路返回 并且横跨堪萨斯。
外面有个团 触发痒。
-就在这里。 -嗯。
另一种方法是什么？
你可以继续向西穿过佩科斯， 我要走的路，
上山 沿着爱达荷州北部，
然后回到加拿大边境。
-这需要多长时间？ -整个冬天。
整个冬天。我的机会是什么 偷偷溜过去？
不多。
你知道，当我第一次抓到你的时候 吃我的兔子，
我应该给我一块石头 把你弄得头晕目眩
让你等死。
巴克！巴克！
侦察兵进来了。那个小队没有回去。
他们向北走，追踪货车。
他们离火车有多近？
从大河出发一日游。
问他我们需要多长时间 直接赶上他们。
也许两天。
他说他会给你指导 带你穿越高通。
记住，他们不会为你而战。
我知道。
嗯，看起来后门是开着的。
我可以滑过 并抓住我的机会。
看，兄弟，你走了 半程以上
和他们一起圣安妮教区的人。
这是一个正常人所能做的。
你想为他们而死是为了什么？
发生了什么？ 有人关后门？
如果他们要加入他们， 他们应该在日落前做。
让我们完成那辆货车。
他们没有违反我所知道的任何法律。
他们得转身。
怎么了，孩子？ 你对他们有什么不满？
你站在他们一边？ 你对他们的凶手心软？
他们杀了博叔叔，不是吗？ 他们抢劫了银行。
他们没有。巴克和那个传教士做到了。
这就是我们所追求的。
你不明白。 我得把他们的野手转过来。
如果我们现在让他们田野休耕， 我们完全失去了一切。
我们必须保持原样。
我们要保留东西 他们理应属于的方式。
现在，你有 16 个白人 在下面。十六。
你只给我一半， 我会完成那项工作。
就我而言， 那辆马车可以去任何它喜欢的地方。
你迈出一步 对付那些人，
我带你回铜泉
绑脚 在你的马腹下。
-奥利在哪里？ - 上去掩护通行证。
-他说你负责，马库斯。 -是的？
如果巴克通过，他会发出信号。
- 他要我们做什么？ - 乘坐马车火车。
好吧，如果他是这么说的话。
我们走吧！
- 你必须把它带给他们。 -嗯，你要做什么？
-我们可以把他们拉到南方。 -但是——
你和马车一起去。 我稍后会来找你。
啊哈！
来吧。爬上去。
绕到他们面前，把他们砍掉！
我跑了！
Your land runs a thousand rods to the left of that big tree.
Then it follows the creek.
You keep this paper good now.
You want to stay with us a spell?
Sure be obliged.
Thank you.
Good luck.
Now you listen to me, you hear.
You people from Louisiana, ain't you?
Well, there's plenty of good work for you back there,
choppin' cotton, cuttin' cane.
Good jobs with people that know you.
You was born there. You was raised there.
You don't belong out here.
You couldn't last a winter.
You ain't got no place to live.
No farm tools, no seed.
So you're gonna turn around and go home.
Hey, you.
Come here.
Where's Buck?
I'm lookin' for your wagon master, name of Buck.
No Buck here.
D-Don't know nobody named Buck.
He's the one that brought you here, ain't he?
So where'd he go?
Where'd you hire him, and where's he eta yin'?
Man who brought us here named somethin' else.
Ain't no Buck —
Where is Buck?
He's leery, Floyd.
Now, you hear me.
You're gonna go outside, you're gonna wave to your man.
If you holler or anything, I'll kill everything around here that moves.
Everything.
Get them horses. Floyd!
Head out!
Ahh!
Well, howdy do!
- I need a horse. - I can see that.
I'll pay you $20.
That's a handsome price.
But I ain't in the horse-trading business, brother.
I got to travel fast.
Well, I sure do wish I could be of service to you, but...
-I don't want to have to take him. -Who says you have to?
Hold it.
You got any objection if I get into my drawers?
Or do you need them, too?
Just gettin' my boots, brother. Just gettin' my boots.
-You're eatin' my rabbit. -What you doin' out here?
Gettin' into my drawers.
-You sure enough gonna take my horse. -Drop your drawers.
-Now you just wait a damn minute. -Drop 'em!
Damn.
You forgot your coffee!
There's two mountains pointing up to the sky.
Beyond that there's a valley,
green, with cool water.
I can see it. It's there.
Called Colorado.
But don't turn back.
That valley is going to be our home.
We're going on.
All right.
Night riders hit Pappy Whitlock and his people here, two weeks ago.
Three days later, they burnt out a wagon train
supposed to meet me at Sulfur Flat.
That here.
Then they got the Deaf Smith County people at the water hole this side of Clay Town.
They're headin' this way.
You got to move out tonight.
Morning, sir.
Could you get me a bottle of drinkin' whiskey out here?
You could go inside.
Man, good liquor is best enjoyed under the open firmament.
Anyways, my heart yearneth for the dusky company
of my own emancipated people.
Where are the colored folks around here, son? Where do you live?
With my mammy and the rest at Mr. Logan's place. Ten miles out.
Do all the colored live there?
No, sir. I mean, we just passing through.
We made a crop for Mr. Logan.
Toby! Boy!
The whiskey, son.
Forty cents a bottle. Cash money.
Oh.
Ahh. Oh.
Where'd you get that horse?
Well, that animal was delivered to me in the wilderness.
Where's the man who rode that horse?
I don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know?
Well, a man cometh and a man goeth,
and in this trackless wilderness, who shall know but the Lord?
Don't play with me.
Nobody back there, Uncle Beau.
Where's Buck?
-Is that his name? Buck? -Where is he?
Mister, I'm looking for that miserable, no-good, low-down sinner myself.
And when I find him, I'll smite him hip and thigh.
-How come you got his horse? -On account of he stole mine.
-A-And left me out there to perish. -He's lyin'.
A-As God is my judge, I-I swear on this Bible.
What you doin' out here?
Just wanderin' as the Lord wills, spreadin' the word of the gospel.
I'm doin' like you gentlemen. I'm just a-fightin' sin.
You hear me. We want this Buck. We want him bad.
You see him, you tell us where he is,
there's $500 for you.
You remember that?
Five hundred dollars.
That's easy to remember.
Uh...
I don't suppose, with that kind of money, you particular whether he dead or alive.
Either.
And if in my search for this sinner I finds him,
tell me, where do I finds you gentlemens?
Copper Springs. Ask for Deshay.
Deshay. Uh, Mr. Deshay.
So you a wanderin' preacher, ministerin' to your people out here, hmm?
Yes, sir.
Though there's few and far between, the need for salvation is everywhere.
Best thing you can tell 'em — turn around and go back home.
Uh, turn around and go back home!
Young man!
-Pleasant afternoon. -Yes, sir.
You walk home every day?
-No, sir. I sleeps under the bar. -Oh?
But they all finished with the crop for Mr. Logan,
and they going to have roast pig and chicken.
That a fact? Who's your preacher?
We ain't got none.
Then who gives thanks to the Lord?
Just ol' Uncle Cudjo. He's more conjurer than preacher.
That a fact?
May I prevail upon you to share my beast of burden?
The horse, son.
Who's that with Toby?
Blessings in his name!
I am the Reverend Willis Oaks Rutherford
of the High and Low Order of the Holiness Persuasion Church.
Well, where are you from, Reverend?
Sunflower County, Mississippi, mostly.
And whereabouts you headin"?
The vastness of God's green earth.
There is no corner that does not challenge my ministry.
I'm here today and I could be there tomorrow.
Uh, where you from, brother?
-We all from St. Anne Parish, Louisiana. -Oh.
My name is Kingston.
Pleased to meet you, Brother Kingston.
Well, well, well.
-Sister. -Reverend.
You've come a long way. Along way.
And we going further yet.
I do admire to meet a good Christian congregation.
Yes, and — and if you will permit me,
after a bit of supper,
I would like to offer a prayer for your — for your safe guidance here
beneath the wonders of God's creation.
Oh!
How'd you find me?
I asked your horse.
It's all right. Ain't nothin'.
What's on your mind?
My horse, amongst other things.
All right, you get your horse. What are you doin' 'round here?
Just spreadin' the sweet word of the gospel.
You a preacher?
The Reverend Willis Oaks Rutherford
of the High and Low Order of the Holiness Persuasion Church.
Well, you can take supper here, Reverend. That'll square for the rabbit.
You can rest a while and then you move on.
Buck!
...50, 60, 70, 80, 90,
400, 410, 420.
Four mules, a litter of pigs.
Right on the barrel head, fair and square.
Yes, sir. That's right.
Now, if you folks want to stay around and plant another crop,
we'll make the same deal.
No. Expect we'd better be moving on.
But much obliged to you anyway, sir.
All right.
Wait a minute. Come on.
Hyah!
-Hyah! -Come on, come on!
Hey! Hey! Whoa!
Which way you ridin', Preacher?
Well, I ain't exactly settled my mind yet.
-Well, you got about three possibilities. -Oh?
North, south or east.
-What happened to west? -We goin' west.
Well, there's a lot of room out there in the west.
I mean, you couldn't exactly say it was elbow-to-elbow out that way.
You got your horse. Don't press your luck.
Tell me somethin', Buck. What you got against me?
Nothin', 'cept it's a fool farmer let the weasel travel in the chicken coop.
I know an east-man when I see one.
These people ain't for picking.
I told you I ain't no east-man. I'm a preacher.
On the other hand, you could say it's a mite stuffy out there to the west.
Amen, brother.
Fivefold, amen.
Hyah! Hyah!
Hyah! Whoa!
-You double your watch tonight now, hear? -Yeah. I'll do that.
I'll be back tomorrow by sundown at the latest.
-You can find the water holes on the map? -Yeah, they're plain.
Indians!
Buck! Indians!
-What the hell are you doin'? -Get down off your horse.
-Have you looked behind you recent? -Get down!
Don't tell me you done took to prayin'.
Preacher, you do as I say.
You hunker down and keep your mouth shut.
Sweet Jesus.
Lord have mercy, looky there.
If you don't be quiet, you're gonna be dead.
-Sinsie. -Buck.
-Do you have good health? -Yes.
-Things go well? -Some things, some days.
What do you want, Sergeant?
I got a wagon train comin' through.
Forty head of people, not including children.
- What kind of people? - Black.
I want them to get through safe to the pass north of the salt wells
on the west bank of the Pecos.
You have five days to pass.
That's pressing. They got sorry horses and worn-out mules.
Five days.
All right.
Ten dollars each one.
I was thinking on six dollars.
Eight.
They gotta live through the winter, and they got children.
You tell him children ain't worth eight.
Eight. Children nothing.
They're going to need food. I can get by if I kill three buffalo.
One buffalo.
My husband say two buffalo, if you must.
Thank you, Sinsie.
Brother, you're a man of many parts.
How do you know how to dicker with them Indians like that?
What were you trackin' me for?
Me? The fact is, I got lost.
And I praise God I found your tracks
or I might have perished out here like a heathen.
Toby? Toby?
Oh, God!
Come on, now. Right there. That's good.
Here. It's all right now.
There, there. There.
Get me some water.
And the money's gone. All $1,400.
How are we gonna live through the winter? Where're we gonna get food and seed?
Ain't no use. We done been turned around.
Benny, Susannah,
Tom the cooper, Joseph.
Rachel's Toby.
All dead.
But the valley is there.
Green and wild.
It's there.
We gonna go on.
You ain't got no supplies, no food.
You can't make it through the winter.
Then we dies in the snow.
No, you ain't gonna die in the snow.
-The old man say we goin' on, huh? -Yeah.
Well, then, by God, we're goin'.
But now you know we ain't got the money to pay you what we owe you.
Don't matter. You paid for safe passage through the Indian land.
-You'll cross north of the salt wells. -Uh-huh.
You only got five days to pass.
I'll find you somewhere north of the Pecos.
Ain't nothin' left here for you, east-man.
You can come or go. It don't matter.
You ever hear of Copper Springs?
-Ten riders, boss named Deshay. -How you know him?
They catched me with your horse in a little stop called Frenchman's Ford.
They asked a lot of mean questions. Now I know why.
Copper Springs?
I heard them say they holes up there.
And I remember every one of them faces.
Deshay, hold up a minute.
-Well, Ollie, how are things? -I want to talk to you.
Delighted. Floyd, get me a bourbon.
You ran into a couple of wagon trains out yonder.
Well, we just had a little talk is all.
Now you listen to me, Deshay.
Nobody's gonna be gunned down, nor whupped, nor burnt out in this town
as long as I have a say-so about it,
and that goes for the colored as well as anyone else.
Well, now, Ollie, I just rode in to pick up my mail
and spend a little time at Esther's is all.
Never mind. I'm tellin' you.
Those folks are free to come and go as they like. That's the law.
Sheriff, you got any official complaints against me and my boys?
I mean, we are bona fide labor recruiters
employed by the Delta Planters' Association in Louisiana.
There's a whole way of life back there that's goin' down the drain.
We don't aim to see it frittered away.
I don't care who you're workin' for. And this ain't Louisiana.
Now, you walk soft in my town.
That's them. Deshay is the one with the hat on.
There's only eight of them in there.
Yeah. The other two are in the saloon.
You stud yin' on takin' eight of 'em in one gulp?
Five. Three of 'em busy upstairs.
Yeah, but they ain't tied down forever.
I just gotta catch 'em off guard.
Let me talk to 'em.
You catch 'em off guard.
Blessings on this house!
I am the Reverend Willis Oaks Rutherford
of the High and Low Order of the Holiness Persuasion Church.
Get the hell outta here.
You — You do recollect that we have encountered each other previous?
-It's that old preacher. -Yes, brother.
Look, I run a selective house.
-This ain't one of your New Orleans cribs. -Shut up.
What you want?
Well, sir, uh, you do recall
that there was a certain mean oi' sinner you was interested in by the name at Buck.
You know where he is?
They have eyes that see not, until they are opened!
Don't trifle with me.
Oh, I ain't triflin', sir.
But I — I do seem to remember that there was a sum mentioned.
Five hundred dollars, to be exact.
Where is he?
Yea, though he flees as a shadow, yet will I lead thee to him!
But for $500.
Now look, I ain't gonna bargain with you.
You tell us where he's at. Then maybe we talk about money.
Will you get him out of my house? I've got my reputation to think of.
"Thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess,
to teach and to seduce my servants into fornication."
Revelation, chapter two.
- What the hell is he doing here? - He's a-preachin'.
That's right, brother. I'm preachin'. And my text is fornication.
"He that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body."
Corinthians 1.
That's you, Esther.
Fornication. That's the way to ruination.
Fornication. Fornication. That's the way they's taught the nation.
Feel that home preachin', eh?
Just you stop that fornicating!
Whoa-ha!
Rich man marries him a mate. Poor man, he just fornicate. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir. Whoo-hoo!
They's clappin'. They's waitin'. Ain't got no time for fornicatin'.
I'm Buck.
I put my faith in the good book.
Ain't no more than a hundred dollars here.
I got about 30.
Where's the money?
Where is it?
-The money! -Come on, Buck!
Come on, I'm talking to you. Where is it?
Come on, Buck, we got to move!
Come on, Preacher.
Stick with me, Jesus.
Will you hurry up?
What the hell they gonna do, track us through four miles of sheep dip?
They don't have to. They know where I've got to go.
They've been there before.
A hundred and fifty-seven dollars.
They drunk up and screwed away more than a thousand dollars.
That's a lot of drinkin'.
And they didn't even have my 500.
What 500?
What they was gonna pay me to deliver you.
Well, I'm here, ain't I?
And they's dead, ain't they?
Hyah!
Yeah.
Oh, Buck! Jesus!
You all right?
I ran to Anne Pennebaker's and she took me in.
-They didn't hurt you none? -Cuffed me on the head some, that's all.
That's all.
They hit the St. Anne Parish people.
They killed some and they burnt 'em out.
-Well, you'd better rest yourself. -I ain't got no time.
I didn't know if you was alive or dead.
I couldn't come back. They could have been waitin'.
I know, I know.
Horses are in the thicket.
That's Ruth. Ruth, this is Preacher.
Your servant, ma'am.
Y'all sit down. I'll get you something to eat.
Where can we get some horses around here?
Liza Pennebaker has horses.
Don't worry. We can trust 'em. She's my friend.
How many horses?
At least one, for you.
You got to come. They've been here once, they can come again.
-They still after you? -Not all of 'em. Some dead.
Eight, to be exact.
We going north, like we said? To Canada?
No, we — we can't. Not yet.
Well, why not?
Where we going?
You done what you could in this country and it all end on fire and the grave.
I ain't gonna live in this land no more, you hear me?
The war ain't changed nothin' or nobody.
It's — I-I-It's like a poison that soaked into the ground.
They ain't gon' give us nothin'. Not no 40 acres and no mule.
And not freedom, neither.
It — It's like a poison soaked into the ground.
You know, the time is goin'.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life washing other people's clothes.
I want to live somewhere with you, Buck, like natural people.
I — I want to have your children and I want to raise 'em someplace
where there ain't even a shadow of slavery.
And I think about the sewing, you know, making pretty things for my family
while my hand is still steady.
I want to go someplace with you, Buck.
I — I want to have your children, but I won't have 'em here.
I am going somewhere.
They won't have us in Canada,
I'll go to the edge of the ocean and I'll walks on away from here.
St. Anne Parish folk...
they're headin' out there and they ain't got no food, no seed...
and they starve when the winter come.
Buck, honey, you just one man.
But I gave my word.
Eat your food.
I'll go see about the horses.
What you stud yin', honey?
You troubled about all that killing.
No.
I killed men before.
I just don't know which way to turn no more.
I think they beat me.
Couldn't the drivers do it in slavery days, nor the rebels in the war.
But now I think... they beat me.
You're just tired.
You know, when it's dark, it looks like the heart just gets to hurting sometimes.
You're gon' keep on fightin' best way you can.
Looks like there just ain't no other way.
I love you, Buck.
Where'd you get them cannons?
Gunsmith in Fort Leavenworth.
Where'd you get that funny Bible?
Well, that's my inheritance.
Before the war, when I was a boy,
my mama and me were sold to this here traveling preacher.
And I'd fetch for him and take up collection.
And when he got drunk, I'd haul him off to bed.
He used to travel in these little towns, preachin' sin and hellfire.
And when he got them gals full of the Holy Spirit,
when they're ready to repent, he'd jig 'em.
Between whiles he'd... take my mama to bed
and I'd sleep out with the horse.
By and by, about 16, he sent me to town for a jug of whiskey.
When I come back, my mama was gone.
He sold her for a couple hundred dollars.
He got drunk that night
and he said, uh, "Boy, put me to bed."
So I lead that man into the tanning yard by the lime pit.
And I put him to bed right there.
I hold him under with a cedar fence rail.
There was no next of kin, so I got the cart, the horse...
preacher clothes and this funny Bible.
Where you gonna find that money?
I don't know.
If it was me, I'd — I'd look for money where money is kept.
Like in a bank. Or an express office.
We gon' just ride in some town, walk in their bank and just take it, huh?
That's right, brother.
And I know just the place.
Where they ain't got no sheriff, no deputy and hardly any menfolk at all
'cause they all out 'round the countryside chasing two poor field hands.
You're crazy.
Yeah.
What you want, boy?
You make a sound and you're a dead man.
We ain't got all day.
What's in the box?
-What's in the box? -US government shipment.
Shipment of what?
What?
Gold.
Gold!
Sweet God almighty, that's gold.
Where's the paper money?
There isn't any.
I sent the cash deposit over to the bank.
Will you get off that?
That's a whole mess of gold.
You can't carry it on a horse.
Where's the key? There's got to be a key.
It's in Texas.
They always send the key separate.
He's telling the truth. But there's got to be paper money.
Now, I'm gon' ask you for the last time.
Where's that paper money?
I told you. At the bank.
I sent it over there.
-What you think? -What the hell.
Otherwise we done wasted the whole morning.
Psst!
Posse's riding by. Sheriff's with them.
Well, that's it. Let's get out of here.
Preacher.
I'm going to that bank.
That bank is across the street from the sheriff's office.
There's an awful lot of money down there.
Otherwise we done wasted the whole morning.
You're the one that's crazy.
Wait! Wait!
Morning, Miss Esther. How you feeling today?
Some better, thanks.
A thing like that's not easy to forget. But life goes on.
My money good enough for your bank today?
- Money is money, ma'am. - Hard-earned, too.
The wages of sin. Just 30's I get 3% on 'em.
Someone stuck me with some Ohio bank notes. Are they any good?
That depends on the solvency of that particular bank.
Holdup! Holdup!
Holdup!
Hyah!
-They're gonna get away. -Yeah.
You shoot that rifle, boy, and we're dead.
You gonna quit?
Remember that wagon train you fellas shot up?
-Yeah. -They never did come back.
I'm wonderin' if they're plannin' on joinin' up with 'em.
He say he will not fight them for you.
I understand.
Tell him I just need help to get through to my people.
They need supplies.
And I can pay.
Dried meat, as much as he can sell 'em. Horses, powder and shot.
Five horses.
No powder.
No guns.
Ask him again.
Tell him — Tell him we are all brothers.
He will not give you guns, Sergeant. They come too hard.
-Food? -Dried meat.
Flour. Corn.
Do not ask for more.
He stopped that posse because he gave his word to let you people through safe.
-He will do no more. -Ask him again.
Tell him they're just looking for a land for themselves,
and they're gonna have to fight their way clear to find it,
'cause they can't live back there, no way.
Before the yellow hair,
my father, my grandfather hunted buffalo and raced pony
and took women on the land where Fox River crosses the grassland at Place of Skull,
now Copper Spring, Fort Sheridan.
Now we are here with our backs against snow mountain.
And yellow hair send wagons, soldier and speaking wire.
Tomorrow we will be like ghosts,
like the spirits that come in dreams with no earth to walk on.
But we will fight.
We will fight ten tens of years
and our children's children will still fight.
We need our guns, bullets and powder for our own fight.
Tell him his enemies are our enemies.
He say, you Black people fought with that enemy against our people.
I ain't in the army no more.
He knows, Buck.
No guns. No bullets.
Eighteen hundred dollars. That's your share.
For what we have just received, we give thanks in Jesus' name, amen!
I'm goin' back east to Illinois, and I'm gonna buy me a tent,
and I'm gonna have the biggest damn revival meeting
since King Solomon preached to his wives and concubines.
Amen.
And you, brother, you got a good woman there.
You ought a take that money and buy yourself a livin'
and do like she want, maybe — go to Canada.
All right, brother, one question.
How do I get out of here?
To Illinois?
One or two ways.
You can go on back the way we come and on across Kansas.
There's a posse out there with a trigger itch.
-Yes, there is. -Uh-huh.
What's the other way?
You can keep on west across the Pecos, the way I'm goin',
up into the mountains and north along the Idaho territory,
then back by the Canadian border.
-How long that take? -All winter.
All winter. What's my chances of sneaking past the posse?
Not much.
You know, when I first catched you eatin' my rabbit,
I should have gotten me a rock and bust you upside your head
and left you for dead.
Buck! Buck!
Scout come in. That posse did not go back.
They went north, tracking the wagon train.
How close are they to the train?
One day ride from the big river.
Ask him how long it would take us to catch 'em ridin' straight through.
Maybe two days.
He say he will give you guides to take you through the high pass.
Remember, they will not fight for you.
I know.
Well, it looks like the back door's open.
Figurin' I can skate on through and take my chances.
Look, brother, you walked more than half the journey
with them St. Anne Parish folk.
That's all a normal man can do.
What do you want to die for 'em for?
What happened? Somebody close the back door?
If they're gonna join with 'em, they ought a do it before sundown.
Let's finish off that wagon train.
They ain't broke any laws I know about.
They gotta turn around.
What's the matter, boy? What you got against them folks?
You on their side? You soft in the head for them murderers?
They killed Uncle Beau, didn't they? They robbed the bank.
They didn't. Buck and that preacher did.
And that's all we're after.
You don't understand. I gotta turn them field hands around.
If we leave them fields go fallow now, we done lost it all.
We gotta keep it goin' like it was.
We gotta keep things the way they rightfully belong.
Now, you got 16 white men down there. Sixteen.
You just give me half of 'em, and I'll finish that job.
As far as I'm concerned, that wagon train can go anywhere it likes.
And you make one move against those people,
I'll take you back to Copper Springs
with your feet tied under the belly of your horse.
-Where's Ollie? -Went up to cover the pass.
-He says you're in charge, Marcus. -Yeah?
He'll signal if that Buck comes through.
-What does he want us to do? -Take the wagon train.
Well, if that's what he said.
Let's go!
-You gonna have to take it to 'em. -Well, what you gon' do?
-We can draw 'em away south. -But —
You go with the wagon train. I'll come to you later.
Yah-hah!
Come on. Get up on top.
Go around in front of 'em and cut 'em off!
I ran out!
