We'll drive the beef herd
toward home tomorrow.
Take them slow.
They're running off stock
on the east range.
Johnny was riding herd last night.
They shot his horse under him.
He walked and told Two Moons.
- Ben!
Get a horse!
You want I get some boys?
- No, we'll handle it.
Not a sign of them.
They rode in the stream.
You can't tell where they went.
Horse slipped, no?
- Which way, do you think?
Let's go.
Two, three...
...four, five, I count, Pa.
Six!
It's Pa!
Get out of here!
Let's go!
Get out of there!
Get up, you're not hurt.
Let this steer loose.
Could you change the brand
without botching it?
I've seen these two before.
We fired them last year.
They're no good.
Well?
We didn't mean nothing, Pa.
Just a couple little old steers.
- Why?
I don't know.
We needed the money, that's why.
Money? But you got money.
If you mean that lousy
40 a month...
Don't ever use that tone to me.
- Pa, we didn't mean nothing.
No, you didn't. You figured you've
steal some cattle and sell them.
Anybody would know that brand,
even though it had been raised.
But you figured nobody...
- Pa, we didn't even think of that.
I don't think you did.
You two together couldn't
have figure that out.
But somebody did?
Who put you up to it?
Nobody.
It doesn't make any difference.
You did it.
Be sure it wouldn't be a secret...
...you had to drag these
two lunkheads in with you.
They no talk.
Let them be. They're not to blame.
Just these two.
What should I do with'em?
They were caught rustling cattle
and changing the brands.
If you notify the Sheriff
the whole state'll know it.
We could hang them or shoot them...
- Cut it, Pa.
He thinks I'm fooling.
Lots of fellows felt that way
until we taught them...
...that you don't steal cattle
from Deveraux Ranch.
But the cattle are as much
yours as they are mine.
And they would have
been yours too, but...
What do you think, Ben?
You don't pay them enough.
Or you either, Ben?
They get the same as you.
If you ask me, I'll tell you, you
get twice what you're worth.
There ain't a man living who can
say that he stole cattle from me...
...but you two mushheads thought...
You wanted them so bad,
take them and get out.
The money you get for them'll keep
But remember this: . .
...don't steal them from here.
We can't let him do this.
Why not?
I warned them they were
only asking for trouble.
Pa, you don't mean this.
They're your own sons.
They're a couple of cheap
tinhorn cattle thieves.
Two men are dead because of them.
- You just can't do it.
I did. Let go, son.
You should have had
all this yesterday.
If I'd been half smart I never
