...it suited a man with frail hope.
You knew that wasn't his
real name, didn't you?
No, I didn't.
- A strange man, the Doc.
- Yes.
Tried to get himself killed.
I know he slammed a fellow,
because this fellow asked
about a house that burned down.
A wonder the Doc
didn't shoot him.
Why would he have shot him?
There's a story about the Doc.
A man named Temple
was a doctor.
He lived in a town where
the Ohio runs into the Mississippi.
Seems the doctor lived in a fine grand house
on the point that overlooked the joining of the waters.
that house one night.
A man and a woman were killed.
And the doctor...
...put a torch to the house
and burned it to the ground.
You can still see the burned fingers sticking
above the willows where the rivers meet.
- See anything?
- Rattlesnakes.
I dunno, something.
Hey, you looking to kill a snake?
Lady!
Lady!
Lady!
I've got water. I've got water!
Water. Water.
No, no.
Not so fast, lost lady.
Please, lady. I...
... I'm going
to shoot off a gun, ma'am.
Lady...
Lady, don't be scared.
to call the other searchers here.
You're going to be all right, Ma'am.
Frenchy promises.
- Come here!
- Is she alive?
Yes, but she sure is cooked.
She's cooked good.
Come here. Look, how she's
hanging on to my canteen.
She won't let go, see?
The poor thing ought to be dead.
Ain't much left from the neck up.
But she still is all woman
from there down.
I was only trying to
pay her a compliment.
There's nothing wrong in that.
We're going to make a litter
and take her to the cabin in Stump Meadow.
pass the word that you found her.
Just look here.
Maybe she was pretty.
Hey! The lost lady's found!
I found her!
At the canyon.
Me! She's alive!
I've found the lady, Doc. I want you to
come right away. She needs you.
I have a patient here.
What's the red head doing at your place?
She's dying. She didn't want to
do it where she works.
The Lost Lady is real bad.
They're taking her to Stump Meadow.
I'll be over as quick as I can.
- You ain't doing the red head no good, are you?
- No. I guess nobody ever has.
But I'm not leaving her now.
- How long will you be?
- Couple of hours, maybe.
Do you want me to strangle her
to hurry it along?
I don't want nothing from you, Doc.
Nothing at all.
I have done my duty in finding her.
You do yours when you see like it.
Glad you're here, Doc.
Let us know how she is, will you?
She didn't move once
the whole night.
The red head kick off?
Sure glad you got here, Doc.
- You own this place?
- Yes.
- Who put the axle grease on her?
