Senora Nunez came in.
She's burning up with fever.
Go cool her head, recite the 23rd psalm.
I'll be there in a bit.
"Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
"I will fear no evil."
- Morning, kids. - "Thou art with me.
"Thy rod and staff, they comfort me.
"Thou preparest a table before me
“in the presence of mine enemies.
"Thou anointest my head with oil.
"My cup runneth over.
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
"all the days of my life and I will dwell
"in the house of the lord forever."
Darling, get me some cocea paste
and my tooth plier, please.
Yes, ma'am.
No, no.
She don't worry about the pain, no.
It is her only tooth.
She worry how she look.
Thank you, come on,.
Thank you.
No, no!
I'm gonna need you to hold your grandmother down.
Darling, can you hold her arm?
Pin that, dot, hold her nose, hold her nose.
I hate to ask but can you pay me for this today?
Ma, would you say I'm more fearless and eloquent
or serene and dignified?
One's Paris fashion and the other's London.
London, huh?
But personally I think I'm more Paris.
You're not even looking.
I've never known such a dainty piece of girlhood.
Do you think you can change them bedclothes?
Can't dot ever change 'em?
You're always dreaming about expensive flirty things.
I don't have to buy 'em.
No one better be giving you gifts, child.
I can sew you know.
And just where are you gonna be wearing them, Lilly?
Now get to them bedclothes.
Jumping "pinches coyotes sons of bitches.
That lightning sure did kill her.
This calf ain't gonna last the night out here.
Let's put her in the barn.
Senor brake.
Indian.
Apache, maybe.
Some kind of apache son of a bitch.
Good day, sir.
I said, hello.
That your man over there in the trees?
What is he planning on doing with that carbine?
We've had trouble with coyotes killing calves.
Tell him I'm not a coyote.
Is that the healer's place?
You come for doctoring?
Lady shuts her doors at sundown.
She's pretty firm about her hours.
You're welcome to spend the night,
see her in the morning though.
I thank you kindly.
Barn's this way, mister.
There's a spare bunk over there, Mr...
Mr. Fernandez.
Jones.
The man that owned that saddle tried to kill me.
I was living with the jicarilla.
I suppose he thought I was one of them.
You're apache, huh?
What'd you say?
Forget it.
What did you say?
Come over here.
Hey!
Now, I mean it!
There'll be no trouble here.
If that's too tough for you to understand, you can move on.
Emiliano, unpack his mule.
You will keep your hands off of my mule
Emiliano.
- Don't slam that door. - Yes, ma'am.
There are houses in Cleveland with lamps
that run on electricity.
I'd like to see Cleveland.
Can you fetch the water, please, dot?
Yes, ma'am.
At the fair, there's gonna be expositions of the future.
There's gonna be a graphophone.
You can hear your own voice back on it.
The dickersons are going.
Brake can't spare you.
Not tomorrow with the cows calving.
the fosters too.
Got all the future you need right here.
Riding all day with this cramping and all.
Don't you ever act helpless
and pitiable to win favor with a man.
Some people shouldn't give advice on how to act with men.
And it's pitiful, not pitiable in english.
you heard what I said.
That pail's half-empty.
I didn't do it.
It's that old Indian's dumb old mule.
What Indian?
Some drifter looking for doctoring.
If you're gonna eat barefoot
why don't you take supper
with the other animals in the barn?
My boots don't fit no more.
Cut off my blood circulation.
It's your birthday soon.
I'll have gangrene by then.
Your mother may just have to saw off your feet, then.
Like poor old Mr. swenson.
Mr. Jones.
Maggie, this is the visiting gentleman I mentioned.
I'll bet a warm meal sounds pretty good to you.
Magdalena.
I'm afraid we have just enough food for family.
We can't be offering our hospitality tonight.
I'm sure we can all do with a little less on our plate.
I'm quite sure we can't!
I have two growing girls to feed.
Maggie?
Maggie.
Lilly, why don't you say grace.
that man in the house her husband?
These are good people, stay away from them,
go steal somewhere else.
Go away,.
The damn coyote came up to the barn.
What's going on?
Everything's fine, Mr. Jones just shot a coyote.
That was no coyote.
He's good at killing things.
That wasn't no lucky shot.
Made for that lion to climb this slope
in the light of the moon.
Nice shot.
no wind.
Who is he?
Called you magdalena.
Your hair bristles when you lay eyes on him.
He scares me, is all.
Nobody scares you.
can't trust him.
Maggie, who is he?
He's my father.
I thought your father was dead.
He is.
To me, he is.
I want him gone, brake.
You want him gone?
He's your kin, you just can't...
He ran off when I wasn't dot's age.
Went Indian.
Turn your back, he'll eat your horses and dogs.
He's being chased or running from something,
ti don't know what.
But he's bad, brake, I swear.
I do not want him near my children.
We're Indians, Lilly.
We're Indians.
Does he do that all night?
Oh, he's just getting started.
You come here for the healing?
In a manner of speaking.
Thought you might be hungry.
It's rabbit stew.
I can't eat rabbits.
I was bitten by a rattlesnake.
All right.
When there's company, you sleep in there.
Is that right?
That's right.
you're not her husband?
No, sir.
Not for lack of asking.
They your children?
no.
What happened to their father?
You don't know this?
I can't say what all happened between you two but,
you ain't welcome here sir.
But she's a good Christian.
She won't turn away any man in need.
Tomorrow, she'll give you what doctoring she can
then you're on your way.
There's some places where a father would kill a young man
for doing what you're doing, you know that, don't you?
If you have something to say, say it.
Are you really a Indian?
Brake said you rode with the chiricahua.
That's right.
So that means I'm part Indian, right?
no.
Not at all.
You look stupid trying to work
in those fancy clothes, you know.
I'm leaving here as soon as I can.
I'm moving to the city.
But grandpa's visiting.
Did you see him?
He's a savage.
They're gut-eaters, you know.
I was born into the wrong family, I swear to god I was.
I appreciate this.
Take off your shirt.
- Magdalena. - Don't call me that.
It's not my name.
Where's it hurt? Hurts when I breathe.
Mostly around here.
Yeah, your muscles are torn just under your ribs.
You need to put a cottonwood plaster to it.
You'll live.
I never thought you'd turn out to be a healer.
I remember you had that yellow cat one time.
You were crying because a badger bit its tail off.
Your mother came running... - don't remember.
Not in front of me.
'Cause I remember my mother.
My mother died scrubbing a man's floor.
And you killed her.
Didn't shoot her or stab her, but what you did.
You broke her!
And I remember my brother too.
He lasted six years.
I bet you never even knew his name.
And I remember praying hard every night
that you'd come home.
On the day I put him in the ground
I remember praying even harder you were dead.
So you don't want to reminisce with me, that I promise you.
I earned this money in large part
killing mountain lions for ranchers like you.
I want you to have it.
If I were destitute and drawing my last breath...
This is good money.
You take this money for your children.
- Take it for your funeral. - Magdalena.
I've done my duty as a Christian.
You get the hell off my ranch!
The senora!
I'd stop now.
Maggie asked you to leave.
I think it's time you did so, sir.
Right about now.
So long.
Nice making your acquaintance.
Lilly, please?
Ask your mother.
She'll just tell me to go on my own.
I'm scared, it's cold out there.
Lilly, please?
Fine, I'll take you.
What's done is done, I guess.
I know you would have done different.
I appreciate your regard, brake.
Ti do.
Well, night, then.
Did they see you come in?
We can't make a sound.
Lilly.
Come on, it's freezing.
Figure we can get them all branded in a day?
You want dot to stay for company?
Brake, you said I could go.
You promised.
Mama, you promised too.
Oh, I'm fine.
He won't be coming back.
This will help the cramping.
The calves are a lot more important
than hearing your own voice come out of some machine.
Well, I guess you never had anything but this.
So why should I?
Come on, let's get going.
You sure look frilly to be working cattle.
I'll keep an eye on them.
just be home before dark.
All right.
Easy now.
That's right.
Dot?
Darling?
Get, get!
Dot?
No!
Dot!
Oh, lord, darling.
Mama, I'm cold.
I'm here, come here, darling.
Are you all right?
I'm cold, I'm cold, mama, I'm cold.
Darling, where's Lilly?
Emiliano.
Yeah, I know.
Darling, where's Lilly?
Emiliano and me, we was in the arroyo.
We heard shots from where brake and Lilly was.
He told me, "stay down"
Emiliano did.
"Don't move, stay down."
He went to see but he didn't come back.
I waited like he said, but he didn't come back.
Brake was screaming, mama.
He screamed so long I wanted him to stop.
I know, I know it, I know it.
then he did.
Then someone rode away with Lilly.
I wanted him to stop!
I know it, I know it.
Darling, did you see who?
Who took your sister?
He wore a hood.
He was Indian.
I'm sorry for your loss, ma'am,
but I'm afraid you've got the wrong fella in mind.
I've had the man you're describing in jail since last night.
Sold himself a lion's hide and got quite a drunk on.
Unacceptable drunk.
He did say he was staying out by your place, though.
There's been several raids like this on people here lately
in Arizona and new Mexico.
Some apaches jumped the reservation
at San Carlos middle of last month some time.
We've been getting communications about them near every day.
To fort bowie.
From me.
Possible your hostiles attacked local ranch.
Two dead, one girl missing.
Named...
Lilly gilkeson.
Stop.
This takes just a moment.
The device is truly a miracle.
And now you'll hear your voice back as clear as day.
Ladies. My name's Louise Dewey.
My name's Louise Dewey.
To sheriff purdy
of chloride.
Believe hostiles
headed northwest
toward Colorado river.
Fourth cavalry
will pursue
in due course.
Well, there you have it.
I'll send the undertaker
out for the remains.
You're not going after them?
Not under the present circumstances, ma'am, no.
With the fair in town, I need all the men I have right here.
If you don't follow now, their trail will get cold.
The army is handling the situation.
They have apache scouts.
Takes an apache to catch an apache.
If someone doesn't go now, my daughter may be dead.
Ma'am, I am elected to keep vigil over this town of ours.
Just one or two men, sir, that's all I'm asking.
Ma'am, I am sorry.
Seth, I need a word with you.
It was the Indians did it.
Now, ladies, I will not authorize fireworks
until a water wagon is here.
Ma'am, that's the drunkard from last night.
What would you like me to do with him?
Let him go.
Ti don't care.
Mama?
Darling.
I want you to ride over to the handys'...
- No, no, I won't. - And stay there
'till I get back.
I'm not gonna stay behind.
I'll follow you as soon as you're gone, you know I will.
Darling...
I'm not, you can't leave me, ma.
I'm going with you, mama, please, I am.
Now, you hear me, dot...
I'm not staying behind.
Wherever you put me, I'm coming after you, ma.
You know I'm not gonna stay put.
I swear to god, I won't stay put.
Hush, hush.
Hush.
The army's headed in the wrong direction.
17 horse tracks.
Three shod, one outrider, two cavalry horses.
Six horses were tied together carrying light loads.
Probably young women, children.
And their captives, 'cause they're being
led along like packhorses.
They're headed south.
Not north.
Probably trying to make it to the Mexican border.
The apaches sell a lot of girls over there.
Top dollar.
Can you track them?
Yeah, you could track them.
But if you catch them, you'll wish
you'd stayed in that house.
- I don't wanna catch them.
You just keep me on their trail 'till I get the army
down to fort selden to catch them.
You wanted to give me money.
Do this instead.
Taking this child out there is awful foolish.
I know my daughter.
Leave her behind, she'll just be following.
No way to care for a young girl.
What would you know about any of it?
I'll be just fine, thank you.
Come on, how.
Shht, shht, get on, come on now.
Fend for yourselves, we'll get back.
Pretty moon, Anne.
Old Bob Hadley was supposed to stop by tonight.
God.
Mama, I'm afraid in my room.
It's just your fever giving you bad dreams, honey.
You want mama to sing you a song?
Mama, you think and... hush.
You stay here with the horses.
Yes ma'am.
Don't ride ahead like that.
They camped here, before they went to your ranch house.
Came back here after they stole your daughter.
- Those are... - Those are deer bones.
And they're still warm, they left here this morning.
How do you know they're still warm...
Don't destroy those tracks, child!
Don't you lay a hand on her, not ever.
I wouldn't hurt this child in any way.
Nor hurt you.
Dot,
my name's dot.
it's not hers.
Your man didn't keep his rifle very clean.
If he wanted to marry you, though, I guess that's something.
He's not all bad.
Did you ever marry?
Dot's father was my husband.
He built the ranch with me.
The notion of it was better than the doing, I guess.
what about the other one's father?
Didn't get much of a look at him.
Maggie?
What you're doing, you're doing for your own soul.
Because what you've done, you can't undo.
you can all move now.
Sir, do you suppose it's safe for me to be on my way now?
Mister, I don't suppose nothing.
You're theirs now.
They captured you.
Could you help me, please?
Go into the cave, bring picture-maker, go!
I see you gentlemen are engaging
in a little frontier recreation out here.
No, these girls are going to market.
We ain't supposed to Sully the merchandise.
I see you share a fondness
for the photographic arts like myself.
Sir, may I have the honor of posing you
with your captives, please?
Please, please.
That's perfect, now very still.
Help, please help us.
Look your best.
Lord, protect us.
Stay behind me.
Indians. yeah.
But not the way you're thinking.
Is there time enough to give these men
a proper Christian burial?
Dead's dead, one way or the other.
I asked if there was time.
Yeah.
There's time.
get in.
Prepare to dismount!
Dismount!
The two on the porch
have expired, lieutenant.
Ask him why he murdered those men in the yard.
I didn't murder anybody.
They were dead when I got here.
What are you doing in here?
My granddaughter was stolen two days ago.
And I trailed her to this place.
What's her name?
You don't know your granddaughter's name?
Well, her sister's name is dot.
we found two horses with a bunch
of women's property in them.
Hang him.
- Other side! - There he goes!
I didn't kill anyone!
I said, I didn't kill anyone!
Come out and show your hands!
I am looking for my granddaughter!
Then you tell me her damn name!
-I don't know her damn name!
Lilly!
Lilly gilkeson.
you know this Indian?
he's no Indian.
damn well looks Indian to me.
No, he's a...
That's my father.
I've been hoping we'd find you, sir.
We need your help.
We tracked my daughter south from chloride.
They're heading toward Mexico.
Near as we can figure
they've hit six or seven homesteads so far,
including this one.
Army should've killed those heathens
when they had the chance.
They're army, ma'am, deserters.
Why, I thought they were apache.
Apache scouts.
Formerly on uncle Sam's payroll.
Like happy Jim here.
We use them to hunt down other apaches.
these Indians were American soldiers?
Then a couple of months ago, some of them turned,
shot some white officers and jumped
the reservation in San Carlos.
The 4th cavalry started all this by hanging their chief.
Don't know what they were thinking.
What makes you think they were thinking?
This whole territory's gone topsy-turvy.
You got Indians running with whites,
whites running with Indians.
Get those prisoners moving!
Come on, squaw man, get on the way here.
Happy Jim.
Blessed be the lord, my rock.
Who traineth my hand for war and my fingers for battle.
A mans like unto a breath.
His days are like a shadow that passeth.
I'm sorry to disturb you, lieutenant!
Some fightin's broken out.
Break it up!
What's going on here?
I said, break it up.
I found it first, lieutenant.
Lying bastard!
Looks like god intended you two to share.
Any man found looting
will have the value of their property deducted from his pay.
They're enlisted men.
Post two men over there. I'm going
to camp down by the river.
If I stay here very long, I might misbehave.
Right over there.
Somebody might have to kill me.
Lieutenant?
I imagine you plan to ride first thing.
Would it be all right if my daughter and I
rode along with you?
Naturally, I'm quite concerned.
Ma'am, capturing those renegades
is the army's highest priority.
Yes, of course.
Butcher a couple of those goats for supper!
And I'm grateful.
But that is the assignment of the 4th.
But the 4th is going in the wrong direction.
I assure you, they will be redirected
as soon as we reach fort Stanton.
Stanton's three days away, lieutenant.
My daughter will be in Mexico by then.
Ma'am, I grieve for your situation, I truly do.
But my assignment is to return these hostiles
in my capture to Stanton
for their prompt and immediate deportation.
you like fish?
Go water the horses.
I watered them back at the...
I'm not asking.
Don't make them too raw, please.
Very well, ma'am.
Lilly, she's
not the same as dot.
She's not strong.
She gets hurt so easy.
Sage?
- What? - For the fish.
Look, I know I only asked you to get us
as far as the army
I asked you if you wanted some Sage
put on your fish.
Yeah, all right.
None for dot.
We'll ride at first light in the morning.
If we can catch up to them,
I might have enough money to buy her back.
If they make it to Mexico
your child is lost.
Hey, that stuff will make you sick, but I like it.
No, no, no, no, whoa.
That flash behind her head bother you?
It's just, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
There's no magic.
It's an optical defect, a flaw.
A flaw, flaw, flaw.
Wait, wait, hey, wait.
Look at these, look at these, see?
I know where all the prettiest girls live,
from Arizona to Texas.
You pick the ones you want,
and I'll take you right to them, right to their door!
Look, all the pretty girls, see?
All of them, I'll take you, look!
What was that?
What did you just do?
I'll get it done.
Who of you can skin a deer?
Hey, who of you can skin a deer?
Me,
I can.
All right, gotta gut her.
I can't see.
What is happening to me?
Somebody tell me.
What is happening?
Ti can't see.
Please, I can't see!
Where's clubfoot going?
I thought we was dropping back down into Mexico.
Seven's an unlucky number for him.
He wants eight girls.
We go now.
shit!
Here.
Fill the packs with meat.
I gotta take Sally.
No, I gotta take my little girl.
No, she just needs water, she's fine.
Shut up, she's dead now, mama.
- She's my baby. - Shut up.
No!
No, no, no!
No, no, no, no.
No! - Get up!
Get up!
Get up! - Get up!
Trying to make a fool of me.
It's gonna be all right.
I think my feet grew two sizes today.
Try these.
They're beautiful.
They were my wife's.
My grandmother?
no.
Mamal
mama! dot?
You all right?
You get bit?
Did those snakes bite you?
no.
Mama, a dead man's in there.
Mama, look at his eyes.
What happened to him?
He lost control of his wagon.
Maybe he had a heart seizure.
He didn't have a heart seizure.
His heart's in that hole.
What's behind her head?
Some people would think it's a sign.
A good sign or bad sign?
It wasn't a very good sign for that fella.
Come here, child.
- What are you doing? - These are for protection.
The man who did this is a brujo.
A what?
it's a witch.
You need to wear one too.
You can believe in your witchcraft
and your impiety all you want.
I believe in what I've seen, girl.
Snakes belong on the ground.
This one hangs them in the air.
A man's heart holds his spirit.
This one digs it out of his body, bleeds it out
and throws it in the dirt.
No, don't you start this.
I know a brujo strong enough to put an arrow
in you from one mile away.
I know a brujo who laid his hand on a child one time.
One time.
The child cramped up, fell down
and spit up white bees 'till she died.
You stop this, you hear me?
You're scaring her.
She needs to be scared and so do you.
Mama, please, please.
Just on her.
We gotta get through that canyon before the storm hits.
You go on and I'll follow.
Hey, give me some of the medical stuff
they stole, that laudanum.
You like that stuff.
You know, I drink enough of this stuff, I swear
you start to look good to me.
Hey.
They give this to my grandma
when she was fixing to croak.
Mamal
mama!
I'll get her!
Get those horses and tie them to higher ground!
I've got her!
Dot, you hold on to me!
My foot's caught!
Hold your breath, right now!
Gotta piss.
Sit up.
I can get us out of here.
- Do you hear that? - You mustn't speak.
My baby's calling me.
No, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
Your baby's passed on.
No, that's just how she sleeps.
There's nothing you can do, so please just...
There, there, my baby.
Here, watch out while I get the horses.
Hey, hey, I'm just going to get those berries
I promised you, don't wander off.
Lord, forgive me.
No!
Stop squirming.
- Goddamn you! - Give her to me.
Get up! no!
I got her. no!
Tie her legs!
- Shut up! - Why?
Now we're gonna be back to seven,
and seven's an unlucky number.
Whore! - Stop!
Thank you.
crawl.
You're better than them, but you're not better than me.
can she have the moccasins how?
Yeah.
Can I just?
I'm glad you were here.
I was bitten by a rattlesnake.
What?
A good shaman gave me two amulets.
Told me not to eat rabbit meat for a year
to say my prayers every morning
take care of my family, and I might get well.
You're telling me the only reason you came back
was because you were following
the say-so of some medicine man.
Is that right?
Yes, absolutely, a rattlesnake
can make your soul, um...
Very sick.
That's likely not what you want to hear.
But it is the truth.
Go on,
hit me.
You won't fetch as many pesos with my face swollen,
and you know it.
Keep still.
don't.
Tell us what luch we'll have.
I don't believe in luck. - I do.
Well, I know what I know.
What are you reading?
Not reading.
You paint pictures. not for a while.
You remember that I went to art school in New York
before I met your mother?
Some life you've lived.
some life.
What was my boy like?
Very tall for his age.
And
curious, like dot.
He liked singing.
He had hair like...
He looked very much like mother.
Do you even remember my mother?
What she looked like?
Yes, I remember.
What was his name?
My son.
Jacob.
that them?
Once they clear those trees,
they'll be riding in line along that river.
I'll shoot the front horse.
You shoot a horse in the middle.
If we're lucky, they'll scatter.
Thought we were gonna buy her back.
the more of them we kill
the easier they'll be to reason with.
Maybe she'll get clear and save us the trouble altogether.
Dot, you keep shooting.
Try to hit a horse.
There's nothing hard about pointing this thing.
Pulling the trigger.
I know.
And everything hard about taking the breath out of a man.
That's why you say a little prayer.
You say god,
forgive me for what I do.
That way, when the time comes you'll have faith
in the order of things and you'll feel free in
in your heart to fire.
Ma, I don't have...
Pay attention to your mother, child.
Yes sir.
You any good at waiting?
No, sir.
Well, today you will learn to be good at waiting.
Mother of Jesus
you watched your child suffer.
Give me strength.
Stop my hands from trembling.
Let them come on.
Not vet,
not yet.
Let them come.
On my call, pick a horse in the middle
and shoot him in the neck.
hah!
I can't see Lilly.
Dot!
Take everything.
They're chiricahua.
I lived with him and his family for a time.
Good, that's good, isn't it?
Name's kayitah.
Think the other one's his son.
They want our horses and guns.
I am not giving over my horses.
You understand?
You'll have to kill me first.
You tell him, you can tell him what I said.
You tell them to get on their way.
Even better, you tell them
we want their guns and ammunition.
Go on. You tell him.
Ain't no undergarments or nothing.
Dot, bring me my bag.
Go outside, sweetheart.
You don't know what diseases these people have.
I don't usually operate on Indians.
They have green blood and there's a pinecone
in their chest instead of a heart.
Just give me that mescal.
All right, it'll hurt.
He told me
this brujo's mother was raped by a witch.
Came out of her womb two years later
with a full set of teeth.
I'm not feeling too good myself.
Don't sit too close, darling.
I'm not feeling too good.
It's so cold.
It's not that cold, ma.
Yeah,
he was.
no.
Hello.
What are you doing?
I'm dreaming of what's gonna happen tomorrow.
can I dream on it too?
I don't know, can you?
can't.
Mom's talking in her sleep again.
Sometimes at home, she talks so loud we have to wake her up.
Sometimes she cries.
Other times, she sounds like somebody's hurting her.
And all the next day, she looks at Lilly funny.
Me and Lilly notice, even though mama doesn't,
ti don't think.
What happened to her?
- I don't know and I wouldn't ask.
I think when she was young, she was...
Treated with cruelty.
She was alone in the world at that time.
You wish you'd been there?
I don't wish.
Mama.
Ma, wake up, you're having a bad...
don't touch her.
Go get your mother's Bible.
Is it bees? go on.
What did you leave behind at that camp?
Today, this day,
what did you leave behind?
- I don't I don't know.
Mama, don't let him, mama.

Morning.
Good morning.
Reckon I drank from the wrong bottle.
Wrong as can be.
Here.
You need to keep that on.
You know, dot was wearing hers when she almost drowned.
Yes,
almost.
After we attacked them,
you reckon we can still buy them back?
I don't know, money's always money.
But we don't have enough to buy them all, though.
Two or three at the most.
You get Lilly.
And whoever else you can.
Sorry for the rest.
Should be back by dark.
If we're not, leave at daylight tomorrow.
That means go home.
You and dot.
You understand?
You tell me yes, or I'm not going.
I understand.
Kayitah.
I want to buy two girls.
Yeah?
Do I deal with you?
no.
You deal with him, there.
That's my mother's.
What did you do to my mother?
What did you do?
Ma?
Needs.
Grandpa said we was to leave in the morning.
he'll come back.
He's gonna come back.
Reward all those who have done us good.
Pardon all those who have done or wish us evil.
Give them repentance and better minds.
Be merciful, o god, to anyone who's in any trouble.
And deal with them, o god of pity, according to their needs
with kindness, just as Jesus Christ, your son, did.
I told you to go home.
How bad are you hurt?
I've seen the girl.
She's still alive.
Are we gonna go get Lilly?
you can raise this child.
Take her home.
And you can be sure of that.
You do anything else, you're likely to lose two daughters
and your own life.
I don't know how to leave her.
You can't turn away from that?
Can you?
All right.
Magdalena.
All right.
You.
You scared of dead things?
They finally going to get buyers?
He'll be back, we sell them today.
Hey, my friend, we're getting paid today.
It's a trick, you idiots!
get down there.
Mama.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
It's all right, baby, it's all right.
You cut them loose, get to the horses!
Get going!
Get out of here, Maggie.
We don't have time to drink water, let's go!
Can they catch us?
Oh, yeah.
Help me.
Take my arm.
I got her.
We're going to the top!
If your horse quits, get off and go on afoot!
Hold on to the tail, I got you.
You knew this was here.
I've had occasion to use it before.
We'll never make it over to the other side before dark.
We'll have to last out the night right here.
Put as much dry brush as you can carry in this gap!
Are you all right?
Uh-huh.
Your hair's all tangled.
Here, let me get it.
It's all right.
It's all right, lill-lill.
You'll see.
I dreamed on it.
We're gonna get away, and grandpa's gonna come live with us
and we're all gonna be a family.
You'll see.
Right, ma?
Isn't that right?
Yeah.
You know that Indian name of yours?
What's that mean?
Very hard to translate that.
Try it.
it means "shit for luck."
Is that right?
Yes, it is.
Chiricahua value family very highly.
A man doesn't live with his wife and children
he's not considered particularly...
Enviable.
I don't have any Indian brothers or sisters?
none that lived.
What did you see in them,
you didn't see in us?
Why didn't you stay?
There's an apache story about a man
that woke up one morning and saw a hawk on the wind.
Walked outside and never returned.
After he died, he met his wife in the spirit world.
She asked him why he never came home.
He said, "well, the hawk kept flying."
There's always the next something, Maggie.
I wasn't any kind of a rancher, I was a painter.
And that will take a man away.
You tell yourself you're protecting them,
they're better off without you.
Stay or go, there's nothing a man
can do to protect his family from himself.
I guess I do realize now I made people's lives more
difficult by the things I have done
and the things I have not done.
People I did love, mostly.
I'm not forgiving you.
Not asking you to.
I wore that birthing both my girls.
I thought I'd die wearing it.
I've always liked this thing.
Your mother gave it to me.
Never meant to leave it behind.
Thank you.
I better see to Lilly and them.
Pull those horses back!
Your brujo's dead!
Magdalena.
Do you want me to wait with you?
Or do you want me to take you home?
Home.
Let's go home.
