Woman Walks Ahead Page #4

Oh!

What will you tell McLaughlin?

That I put you on the train.

You climbed off again.

He trusts you?

He thinks I spy on my uncle

for the Agency.

But it's the other way around.

[SCREAMS]

[WHISPERS] What do you want?

[SPEAKS LAKOTA]

[SPEAKS LAKOTA]

Who was that?

Shell King.

This used to be his cabin

until I told him to leave.

He looked so...

...magnificent.

- [BELL CHIMES]

- [PEOPLE CHATTER]

[WOMAN] I needed to go to

the store the other day, but...

Kira! Kira, you come back here.

Do you always walk this fast?

Why?

I'm trying to get ahead of you

before someone sees us.

You don't walk ahead of a chief.

Should I walk behind?

Side by side is fine.

[BREATHES HARD]

Are you alright?

Walking so fast

has loosened my bullets.

Oh. What bullets?

I have four bullets

still in my body.

They move around.

What does your husband think

about you coming here?

I'm a widow.

- I'm sorry.

- I'm not.

Mrs. Weldon.

May I speak with you in private?

- What do you want?

- I'm here to rescue you.

Rescue me?

Hear you got yourself kidnapped.

These men are gonna

escort you to Cannon Ball,

catch the next train

heading east.

That's very kind of you,

Mr. Groves. Go to hell.

Mrs. Weldon,

Dakota territory is hell.

Since I've been here,

I've seen deplorable conditions

and I hear the treaty

you are here to serve

will only make things worse.

Look here, it's time

you get on that train

and report back

to your seditionist friends

in Greenwich Village.

Well, If I take the train,

I can be in Washington D.C.

by Thursday.

The editor of "The Post"

is an investor in my father's

shipping business.

From his office I will go

direct to the Senate,

then to the Bureau

of Indian Affairs,

and finally accept a

long-standing dinner invitation

with former

Vice President Buckley.

[WHISTLES]

You know, it'd be

kind of unfortunate

to meet all those important

people without all the facts.

So, the truth is important

to both of us. Good.

Maybe you should stick around

till General Crook gets here

and I have the final draft

of the treaty.

[LOWERS VOICE] Mrs. Weldon,

do not give him reason to hope.

No-one here's forgotten

and forgiven,

least of all General Crook

and the Seventh Cavalry.

Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse

massacred the Seventh

at Little Bighorn.

I don't need a history lesson.

It's not history

till it's over...

...and for the Seventh,

[WHISPERS] ...this isn't over

until Sitting Bull's dead

and if they kill him, half the

Sioux Nation'll throw themselves

against the American Army

and Little Bighorn

will be avenged.

You follow?

I'm just here

to paint a painting.

Whoa!
