Yellow Rock

---

Since the time of my elders,

when the white man first came upon us,

we have struggled to survive,

and live our peaceful ways.

But their shadow cast its curse

upon our people

and darkened all our days.

They took our small ones,

and sold them as slaves.

They took our scalps and

sold them for profit.

Our heads were severed for more.

Our hearts were full of sorrow.

We prayed to the Great Spirit in the sky:

Do not abandon us.

Our only reply....

the sound thundering hooves upon

the chest of our Mother Earth.

The sound that was once the Great Buffalo

is now of only those who

come to take our lands.

Welcome to Yellow Rock

Gentlemen.

Whisky for all of us.

Leave the bottle.

Thank you, sir.

You remember me?

Yeah, I remember you.

I'm looking for Tom Hanner.

You know where he is?

He's probably drunk somewhere.

He don't come around here no more.

Where is he?

I really don't know.

That's more like it.

Try the church.

- Give me a bottle of whiskey.

- Yes, sir.

That'll be 25 cents.

Dietrich.

Thank you.

I need to talk to you, Tom.

I heard you lost your boy.

I'm sorry to hear that.

My brother and his son went trapping.

They never came back.

Around Falcon's Peak.

That's near the Black Paw territory.

I need you to take me

and my men out there.

It's the only kin I have, Tom.

And you're the only man

I know who could find them.

They don't take kindly on white men.

I know that.

That's why I need you.

There is $ 20 gold.

And more once we get up there.

Did you found him?

Yeah.

Dietrich!

Look at me, son-of-a-b*tch!

I am McKInley's son.

You remember him?

Get up.

Get up!

Tell us or die.

Go get him.

Hanner?

You're in there?

He ain't in there, boss.

Where is he at?

I tried to relieve it.

Take his pulse.

I have to open up

his leg and make a suture.

Explain it.

Tell her to keep calm.

You have to hold him back.

Hold him down tight.

I have his leg.

Come on!

I'll kill you, son-of-a-b*tch!

What the hell are you shooting at?

Hold it.

There are more of them.

Come on! Come on!

I'm just stepping on ahead.

How about that one, Farley?

Yeah, siree! I got it good.

That ain't even good meat.

Out of the way.

Jack ass.

Indians believe that killing

a raven is a bad omen.

Doctor, what should we tell her?

Goddamn it, Farley!

What the hell are you up for?

Have you seen a ghost?

Goddamn, you're a damn jack ass.

Hey, Mr. Dietrich.

You want a little whiskey?

Put that away.

You want some?

- You've seen him, huh?

- I hardly know the man.

They say the ancient ones

work through your hands.

When moon rises,

they're gonna sing for Little Bear,

with the spirit of the gods.

And they want

you as an honored guest.

I'm the one who's honored.

They give many thanks to you.

Many blessing.

I'll be back before moonrise.

There's a cabin, a few miles out.

At the end of Canyon Creek.

We will stop there.

Why?

This is Black Paw territory.

They know we're here.

Without their permission to pass,

this is as far as we're going.

There's a doctor at that cabin,

she takes care of them.

She'll do the talking for us.

- Can't you do it?

- I'm afraid not, this is the only way.

That's the medicine you need

to give to your daughter.

You need to give the medicine.

Sarah!

He doesn't understand what I'm saying.

Put ??two spoons.

Wait here, I'll let you know.

Anybody home?

I'm just here to see the doctor.

You're talking to.

Tom Hanner.

You look like hell.

Yeah, it has been a tough year.

That's why I am here to talk about.

I need your help.

How long have they been missing?

About a week now.

It'll take a while to search,

a few days at least

There's no telling what injuries

we're dealing with.

All I know is that they

didn't come back

and that sure ain't good

for my brother and his boy.

Then there is no time to waste.

Tom, if you gonna lead through

the territory,

you're gonna need full consent

from all the elders.

The doctor better come back

with the right answer.

Mister, she'll come back with

the only answer that there is.

Hanner.

He doesn't understand our language well.

I tell him why you are here.

We do not know where they are at.

They were trapping near Falcon's Peak.

They could have crossed your

territory by mistake.

I know you have no reason to help us.

But we just mean to find the man and the boy,

and get of your land as quick as possible.

You seem to speak truth,

but the white man has lied to us before.

Those were dark days for us.

Did you take money from these white men?

Yes.

You take money to save two lives,

there is no honor in this.

You're right.

He says your heart is good,

you speak the truth,

but we must talk alone.

I thought you'd left

these people by now.

Why? These people needed me,

that's what mattered.

You're all alone.

No, I was alone back there.

We have permission to

pass through, tomorrow.

Aces.

Three cowboys.

It's round-up time!

Damn it Roscoe,

that's four hands in a row!

If you weren't so busy drinking,

you'd better cards to play.

If you don't shut your trap,

I'll shut it for you.

Why do we bring him along with us!

To hell with you, Farley.

You're always cutting on me.

You want to shut my trap, old man?

Then why don't you shut it, shut it!

I'm not gonna warn you again,

you hear me?

- Do you hear me?

- Yeah.

It smells like sh*t in here, lady.

That's because you boys need bath.
