Nevada Smith Page #4

Synopsis: Nevada Smith is the young son of an Indian mother and white father. When his father and mother are killed by three men over gold, Nevada sets out to find them and kill them. The boy is taken in by a gun merchant. The gun merchant shows him how to shoot, to shoot on time, and to shoot straight. Everything that Nevada does goes to killing those three men. He learns to read and write just to learn their location. He pays people to tell him where they're at. He even goes to prison to kill one of them. While the movie is a Western and has plenty of action, it also takes a deep look into vengeance and how one can change after a haunting incident.

An Indian girl was asking about you.

Maybe she can help.

Where? How did you get?

You come back to us in trouble

and in pain. You are welcome.

- How long?

- Many days.

You talk in fever

of the death of your father and Tabinaka,

my brother's daughter.

You stay here with your own people.

Neesa, she became shame of Kiowa,

but she bring you home.

That's good. Maybe both of you

make each other well.

You stay here.

Oh, no. You get back in there.

It's hot water and it's good for you.

"See... See the frog...

...on a log.

"Rab sees the frog...

Three weeks you sit here.

You never laugh or smile.

"Can the frog see Rab?"

You learn to read not to make you wise

but to help you find men to kill.

"The frog can see the dog.

Rab ran at...

Do you think that I became

a dance-hall girl because I was bad?

It was because I was full of hatred

and foolish.

"See the lamp. It...

If there was a medicine that would

change the way I was, I would take it.

- Do you know of one?

- Neesa, it's got nothing to do with you.

Honestly, nothing.

If I could find a medicine,

I'd take it myself.

- Really?

- For true.

See the lamp?

It is out.

- It ain't going to work, Neesa.

- Why?

I'm going to have to go soon.

- When?

- One morning I'll be gone.

Make yourself at home.

You looking for anything in particular?

- Names, that's all. I'm no thief.

- Yeah...

- What kind of names?

- Friends of Jesse Coe's.

Are you a friend of Jesse Coe's?

I'm the one that killed him.

My name is Angie.

Mrs. Coe.

You might call me "The Widow Coe".

- I don't know what to say.

- I do.

Thank you.

Tell me about the men he rode with.

You know, you look young.

But any man that could take

Jesse Coe with a knife...

...had to be some man.

Do you know where they are?

Do you know their names?

Well, I think one of themes name is...

...Bowdre, Bill Bowdre.

He wanted Jesse to go on a bank job

with him, down in Louisiana.

And it's really too bad he didn't go.

- Why?

- 'Cause they got caught. Put in prison.

There was one other one.

I don't know his name.

That's all I can tell you.

"Western gang...

...robs...

...Bank of...

...New Orleans.

Two...

...a...

Hey, Cap... What's that word?

The word is "apprehended".

What does it mean?

Well, it means... caught.

Say anything

about where they were taken?

No, but a fella robs a bank down here,

they throw him in the state prison camp.

Much obliged.

- Corbin? How do you want yours?

- Just money!

- Sand, how do you want it?

- I want all of it, in that bag.

- Max...

- Shut up.

- The big money's in the vault.

- Get back.

Stay there.

There's only one this time, Warden.

Two years. He robbed a bank.
