The Missing Page #6

I assure you, they'll be redirected

as soon as we reach Fort Stanton.

Stanton's three days away.

My daughter will be in Mexico by then.

I grieve for your situation, I truly do.

But my assignment is to return these

hostiles in my capture to Stanton...

...for their prompt

and immediate deportation.

- You like fish?

- Go water the horses.

- I watered them back at the...

- I'm not asking.

Don't make them too raw, please.

Very well, ma'am.

Lilly, she's...

...not the same as Dot.

She's not strong.

She gets hurt so easy.

Sage?

- What?

- For the fish.

I know I asked you

to get us to the Army...

I asked you if you wanted

some sage put on your fish.

Yeah. All right.

None for Dot.

We'll ride at first light in the morning.

If we can catch up to them, I might

have enough money to buy her back.

If they make it to Mexico...

...your child is lost.

Hey, that stuff will make you sick,

but I like it.

No, no, no, no. Whoa. That flash

behind her head bother you? It's just...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

There's no magic.

It's an optical defect. A flaw.

A flaw. Flaw.

Wait, wait. Hey, wait.

Look at these.

Look at these. See?

I know where all the prettiest girls

live, from Arizona to Texas.

You pick the ones you want,

and I'll take you right to them. Look!

All the pretty girls, see? All of them!

I'll take you... Look!

Take your bad luck to your grave.

What was that?

What did you just do?

I'll get it done.

Who of you can skin a deer?

Hey! Who of you can skin a deer?

Me. I can.

All right. Gotta gut her.

I can't see.

What is happening to me?

Somebody tell me.

What is happening?

I can't see. I can't see. Please!

Where's clubfoot going? I thought we

was dropping back down into Mexico.

Seven's an unlucky number for him.

He wants eight girls. We go now.

Sh*t!

Here.

Fill the packs with meat.

I gotta take Sally.

No, I gotta take my little girl.

No! She just needs water.

She's fine.

Shut up. She's dead now, mama.

- She's my baby.

- Shut up.

No!

No! No! No!

No, no, no, no.

No!

Get up!

Get up!

Get up!

Trying to make a fool of me.

It's gonna be all right.

I think my feet grew two sizes today.

Try these.

- They're beautiful.

- They were my wife's.

My grandmother?

No.

Mama!

- Mama!

- Dot?

You all right?

You get bit?

Did those snakes bite you?

No.

Mama, a dead man's in there.

Don't worry about that child.

Go on now.

Mama, look at his eyes.

- What happened to him?

- He lost control of his wagon.

Maybe he had a heart seizure.

He didn't have a heart seizure.

His heart's in that hole.

What's behind her head?

- Some people would think it's a sign.

- A good sign or bad sign?

It wasn't a very good sign for him.
