You understand?

Jesus loves you, son.

You're not dying.

You're not dying.

You're not dying.

You're not...

You're not dying.

You know they shoot

deserters, don't you?

Hell, they shoot everybody

around here anyway.

It don't seem to

make no difference

where the bullet

comes from.

And you're stealing a mule.

You know, we can bury him

proper right here, newt.

We don't have to leave him.

He's going home, Jasper.

It's where he belongs.

Here.

Take my hardtack too.

It's a long trip.

'Preemie u.

He died with honor, newt.

No, will, he just died.

I tried to

save him, Annie.

I did everything I could.

He was... he... he...

It ain't your fault.

You didn't start

this war, did you?

Or drag him out of here.

My boy.

My boy.

They hung three deserters

down in Perry.

Didn't put 'em

back in the army.

Just hung 'em.

Yeah, I got a leave.

No, you didn't.

His mama deserves

to see her son again.

Hmm.

She don't deserve

to see him like that.

No.

No, she don't.

"Lf I go up to the

heavens, you are there.

"If I make my bed in the

depths, you are there.

"Even in the darkness,

will not be dark to you.

"The night will

shine like day,

"the darkness is

as light to you.

"It is you who hath

possessed my reign.

"It is you who hath covered

me in my mother's womb."

No, not that cloth.

That's my loom.

No! No! L worked

so hard on that.

Ma'am, ma'am,

stop it. Stop it.

That's for my baby!

That's not for your babies.

We're just taking

what's rightfully ours.

Please make them stop!

You got the court order?

Yes, but...

What did the

court order say?

That we will take 10%.

You're taking everything away!

Why are you taking everything?

They took everything

out the smokehouse.

And that ain't tax,

they just ate it.

All that meal we ground.

Honey, we'll get you some more corn meal.

Of course we will.

Well, that ain't the point!

I grew that corn.

Everybody know how

to blow one of these?

Yes, sir.

All right, look here.

If they come back,

I want you to blow that

as loud as you can

as soon as you hear

them riding up.

Yes, sir. I'm just

over this Ridge here.

I'll be here soon.

You got any

more of those?

Yeah, we need some more.

Gettin' hotter.

Let me feel him.

Come on, will.

Be a good boy.

He is a good boy. He's

just got a fever is all.

He's burning up.

Where are you going?
