OI' Antoine speak for Gabriel Jimmyboy.

Wait, you'll speak for him?

Is there something you know?

I mean, about what happened?

I know that day very well.

[speaking in Native American dialect]

Antoine, why do you talk of the past?

That has nothing to do with Gabriel.

[speaking in Native American dialect]

Oh, he know it's old man's talk.

[continues in Native American dialect]

...the General Howard.

What are you talking about General

Howard for? That was 9O years ago.

- [continues in Native American dialect]

- Now, Antoine...

We wait now.

Well, I guess the best thing we can do

is smoke a peace pipe. Here.

[continues in Native American dialect]

Smith isn't gonna like this, Ma.

It's been more than three hours. He

may be lying in a pool of blood by now.

You lock that door and don't

let anybody in. Do you hear me?

- OK, Ma.

- OK.

The policemen,

they pay $500 anybody find Gabriel.

I bring Gabriel to this court,

take $500 and get good lawyer.

- No.

- [speaks in Native American dialect]

Hey, hold it! Just wait a minute.

We don't need money for a lawyer.

The Indian Bureau will get

a lawyer for Gabriel Jimmyboy.

- You trust Indian Bureau?

- Well, sure.

Sure. You not Indian.

[horse galloping up outside]

[speaks in Native American dialect]

That's just Norah, my wife.

She's come to tell me how late it is.

Gabriel, she's not mad at you.

She's just gettin' set to bawl me out.

So long, Antoine. Bye, Gabriel.

You think over what I said. Hmm?

Are you all right?

Norah, it isn't often that I get mad.

Please don't get mad now, Smith.

- Well, you oughta know better.

- I couldn't help it.

I got to thinking of you up there

all alone with that crazy murderer.

- He could've killed you.

- You could've got us both killed.

Aw, Smith.

- Smith, Smith.

- All right.

I'm sorry. It's just that

I've been so churned up lately.

- Smith?

- What?

What about Gabriel Jimmyboy?

I told him to give himself up, but the

guy's scared they're gonna hang him.

Rightfully he should give himself up,

shouldn't he?

I don't know about "rightfully."

There's only one thing worse than being

a cow rancher:
That's being an Indian.

- [Albie] Did you ever see him?

- [Peterpaul] Sure. Lotsa times.

Does he look like...

he killed somebody?

Look like Indian.

You're a great help. [sighing]

- [whispering] Hold still.

- I'm trying to.

- Shh...

- [dog whining]

- Charlie, cut it out.

- Shh...

- Charlie, go away.

- [grunting]

- [Peterpaul] Run! He's got a gun!

- [dog barking]

- I see him. He have gun.

- You didn't see anything.

- There wasn't anybody in there.

- You sure?

Sure, I'm sure.

You got too much imagination.

- Sound like somebody with gun.
