the rifles, don't they?

You think I do things like that?

I know you would.

Yes, sometimes I don't like him.

I hate him.

You do?

He killed my husband.

Mrs. Grey?

I couldn't sleep.

That's is good, I'm glad.

You know, it makes

some lonesome night.

It's a shame, isn't it?

This country isn't safe

when it is dark.

Mrs. Grey?

Huh?

Your husband, how come

he stood up to Gar?

He didn't.

He shot him in the back.

This man got to have a pretty good

reason to shoot him in the back.

You were that reason, Mrs. Grey?

No.

You are traveling with him.

I had no choice.

You have now.

We could be in Dobbs this morning.

You mean you take us there?

That depends, ma'am.

A man can do an awful lot

of things for a woman like you.

What are you doing?

Gar has already done

one man in the back.

You don't think I'm gonna take a chance

something like that happen to me,

unless you're willing to give

me something in return, do you?

Turn her loose, Clett.

It might be better all around

if you just pack up and move on.

Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you?

That way you would have her

all yourself every night.

Is that why you killed her husband?

Get up.

I ain't gonna quarrel you, Gar...

Not at all. You can have her.

He said he was gonna

take us to Fort Dobbs.

I got to make sure that

Chad and I get there.

You can't wait to

turn me in, can you?

Why didn't you have Clett

shoot me in the back?

Like you shot my husband, huh?

I left a man dead man

in Largo, Mrs. Grey...

But I didn't kill your husband.

Hey, Gar!

There's gonna be a next time.

Chad!

Chad.

Chad!

Chad...

He can't be far, he's on foot.

He must have heard us last night.

Yes, ma'am.

What are you gonna do?

He's been lying to, Mrs Grey, but

finally I'm gonna tell him the truth.

How do you tell a boy

you killed his father?

How do you tell a woman

you didn't?

Chad?

Just let me be.

- Listen to me there's something I didn't...

- My dad is dead. You killed him!

You're wrong, Chad.

Wrong was I was not

telling you the truth.

Go away.

Not until you know how it was.

The man I was telling you about,

the one that the Comanches ambushed,

was your father.

My dad could take care of himself.

He could have got through.

He died trying.

You killed him.

He was dead when I found him.

Dead because he didn't want to

leave you and your mother alone.

You're lying.

I heard what my ma said.

You shot him.

Why?

I didn't kill your father, Chad.

I am telling you the truth, boy.

I don't believe you.

All right, have it your way.

But that's no reason to run off and

leave your mother like you did.

When we get to Fort Dobbs,

who's gonna take care of her?
