The Furies Page #2

Synopsis: The 1870s, New Mexico territory: T.C. Jeffords is a cattle baron who built his ranch, the Furies, from scratch. He borrows from banks, pays hired hands with his own script ("T.C.'s"), and carries on low-level warfare with the Mexicans who settled the land but are now considered squatters. He has enemies, including Rip Darrow, a saloon owner who's father T.C. took land from. His headstrong daughter, Vance, has a life-long friend in one of the Mexicans, her heart set on Rip, and dad's promise she'll run the Furies someday. Her hopes are smashed by Rip's revenge, a gold-digger who turns T.C.'s head, and T.C.'s own murderous imperialism. Is Vance to be cursed by fury and hatred?

did ya?

Didn't think I could do it.

Ah, you grinnir ranahans!

Throw me a rope.

It must be a calf.

It looks like a man, but it can't be.

Only a brainless calf would

get himself stuck in the mud.

T.C., you come out of there.

You're too old to play at mud-pies.

No, muchachos.

What are they saying?

That never will they have

a fiiner chance to kill the patrn.

Never will they fiind him

with fewer men to help him.

Juanito -

S, Juanito.!

There is to be no trouble while she is here.

No guns.

That goes for you too.

You stashed my calf away here!

- Yeah.

- I told you before.

SenorJeffords...

it has always been our right on the land -

the right of we, the Herreras,

and those of the pueblecitos...

for as many years back

as you have hairs on your head!

Stop stealing cattle from The Furies!

I told you once, I tell you now.

I'll not tell you again.

At least he riled you enough

so you walked yourself out of the mud.

- For a fact!

- I tell you, if the devil riled you enough...

you'll walk yourself

right out of the fiires of hell.

- I give you my word, if I do, Daughter,

I'll take you right out of there with me.

Rightly speakir, it's no concern of yourn, but

I think it only fiit and proper you be a party to it.

Reynolds here representing Anaheim's Bank

has loaned me $100,000 on The Furies.

- That's right.

- Speak when you're spoken to.

- You favor my Napolon, huh?

- It's a fiine work.

He was a great one.

Started from scratch

to build hisself an empire.

Hey, how do you like me?

Well, no matter. No matter.

- About the matter of the cloud on title -

- The what?

The squatters constitute a cloud

on the title ofThe Furies.

As a condition of making the loan,

the Anaheim Bank...

will require the removal

of the squatters from the premises.

Pure legal mulch, Daughter.

It only means the squatters...

gotta be booted offThe Furies,

and so we gotta start bootir.

- No, you don't. Not the Herreras.

- You tellir me what to do?

- The pueblecitos, all right, but the Herreras stay.

- Mind your tongue.

I want your word on that, T.C.

That's one thing I want your word on.

Can't I never get the best of you? Never?

- Never.

Ah, you're a she-fox.

You got The Furies in you, all right.

You have my word on the Herreras.

Sign the mortgage.

It's fiit and proper.

- May I read it fiirst?

- Sign it.

Certainly, Father.

I suppose you'll use part of the money

to pay off some of your T.C.s.

- Why, you muleheaded, bone-eared -

- To pay off what?

What are these T.C. S

which are to be paid off?

Well, you see, uh, the folks hereabouts

don't get to see much hard money...

so I had these got up

for 'em to use for money.

My word's behind 'em,
