she's a fine looking woman.

You are doing all right

for a dead man, ain't you?

Good morning, ma'am.

Good morning.

From what I understand, you are

going to Fort Dobbs.

I'm heading that way myself, and...

I'd be real happy if I

ride along with your ways.

I'm getting real tired

talking to them mules.

...You're a friend of Mr. Davis?

No, he is not.

Let's back that.

I think you best be

moving along, Clett.

I'm talking to the lady.

And I'm talking to you.

Anything you got to do,

do it elsewhere.

We're all heading for the same place.

I don't see no harm in

sticking together.

An extra gun might come in handy.

Not your gun.

Maybe you don't want us

to get to Fort Dobbs?

Could it be you're afraid they might

find out what happened in Largo?

She know, right?

She thinks she does.

If she tells them soldiers at

the Fort you ain't dead...

It might go kind of

tough on you, huh?

I set out to take them to Dobbs and

that's what I full intend to do.

You're a nick.

You're sure you don't want

me going with you?

Real sure.

It suit yourself.

Like I said, we're all

going to the same place.

I'll be seeing you, Gar.

Come on, Joby.

Very pleased to have met you, ma'am.

If you got any ideas of using that rifle,

Ms. Grey, you better forget them.

Kill me and you and the boy

will never get to Dobbs.

- Mr. Davis!

- Yeah?

I'm sorry I shot you and

called you a horse thief.

That's all right.

No, I mean...

My dad says a man should never

say words against anybody,

unless he knows all the facts.

He says that sometimes

things look one way

and turn out to be all

together something else.

If he'd caught you

stealing that horse...

Why are we stopping?

Your mother.

She's falling behind.

She walks good, but she

ain't much on a horse.

How much longer we got to go, Mr. Davis?

Oh, we ought to be in Dobbs

some time tomorrow.

My dad, he's gonna meet

us there, ain't he?

Ain't he?

That depends.

No, it don't.

He will get through.

It takes more than a few

Indians to stop my dad.

You wait and see.

Chad!

Yes, sir.

A while back before I ran into

you and your mother, I...

...found a man.

He had been ambushed and

had an arrow in his back.

Yes, sir?

You go riding up over that

ridge without looking first

the same thing could happen to you.

Now, go back and ride

with your mother.

- But...

- Just do like I tell you.

What is it?

Stay alert on your horses.

If I make it across the flats

to those rocks,

you and the boy come across.

And if I don't...

You see that long peek,

ride for it and don't stop

until you come to the river.

It'll take you a couple of days out of

the way, but runs on down to Dobbs.
