[ raining ]

[ gasps ]

Aah!

What did you do to scare my boy?

Well, I might've said "bang."

Put that thing down.

It's just me. You don't have

a hell of a lot to worry about.

Hear me well.

I'll let you die

Before I let you harm my boy.

Ha ha ha ha.

Evening, Doc.

Mr. Hunter.

Sheriff.

Some sick people

out at the Yoder place

Concerned about your

neighbor's welfare, are you?

Recognize anyone?

Well, is that him?

Is that the man out there

with the Yoder widow?

Yeah,

I was up there looking

at the hole in his side.

Probably dead by now.

I'm thinking those

holy howlers have hired him.

I thought they relied on the lord

.

To fight their battles

Maybe they're getting sick

of losing 'em.

[ throws coin on counter ]

What the hell --

Are you some kind of a nun?

I'm a daughter

of the plain people.

This is a plain house.

We trust in our god

to take care of us.

Punishment for the wicked

Punishment?

Is that what you think

I'm offering you?

No. No, ma'am.

You have my gratitude.

Well, it seems a bit late

for a proper meeting,

Since you've already cursed me,

choked me,

And bled buckets all over

my best muslin sheets.

And you've stripped

me buck-naked.

I'm Rebecca Yoder.

Johnny Gault.

John said, "I am the voice of

one crying in the wilderness..."

"make straight the way of the lord."

You know the scriptures.

I've had a few lessons.

Where's Mr. Yoder?

Benjo:
"s"...

"c"...

"I"...

Concentrate.

"I"...

"s"...

Concentrate, Benjo.

Someone's coming.

Stay right there, Benjo.

Mose! Get in the shed!

Afternoon, ma'am.

Water the horses

if you want.

Then ride on, please.

Much obliged, ma'am.

No, that's not

what I want.

Mr. Hunter, my place

is not for sale.

Must be hard

for you and your boy.

Out here all alone

since your husband died.

Don't turn your back on me, woman.

Now, you listen,

and you listen carefully.

Well, well.

Johnny Gault, isn't it?

I believe I heard

you speaking unkindly

To this kind lady.

So?

So please don't do it again.

Ma'am.

Be seeing you again.

I hope so.

Hyah!

Mr. Gault.

Yeah.

This is not the way to spend a life.

Ma'am!

Mr. Gault.

The fever has settled in his chest.

Whoever it was said,

"only the good die young"

Never lived in Montana.

Laudanum.

It will ease his passing.

God knows,

where he's going,

There will be

suffering enough.

The lord may yet see fit

to save him.

He might,

Though I can't say I believe

He'd be doing the rest of us

much of a favor.

But how can we know

what someone's fate will be?

You have a care, Mrs. Yoder.

The powers of darkness

sometimes do prevail.

[ muttering ]

Lead us not into temptation...

Deliver us from evil...

Forever and ever...
