- Come on.

- I won't.

You're doing this for me because

you're afraid I'll be hurt.

I don't want to live without

you. We've gotta fight.

We're comin' out. Don't shoot.

Throw your gun out!

Put your hands up.

Oh! Oh, I told him to fight you,

to die fightin' if he had to!

Let me go!

Oh, mother, you won't

let them do this!

So, Grant, you're gonna

have it your way at last.

I told you I'd wait

until he was grown.

Well, now he's growed and he gets

his legacy. Only it's made out of him.

He earned it just as his

father earned the lead he got...

When he stole my brother's wife.

Then it was Jeb's

father! You loved him.

Yes, only she forgot she

was married to a Callum.

Bring a horse here. Get me a rope.

Jeb told me about the feud.

Now I understand the

part I didn't know.

It all started because

of your love, your guilt.

That's why you'd like

to see Jeb hanged.

You don't know what you're

sayin'. This is none of my askin'.

You never gave Jeb a chance. You never told

him the truth so he could protect himself.

- I was trying to protect you.

- That's a lie.

- You were ashamed.

- I've paid for what I did.

I gave the boy a home. I took him in.

That paid for all the killin's? For the

way my father died, and Jeb's father?

Well, it didn't! You loved his father.

Or are you ashamed now

to remember how you loved?

No. I loved his father.

You failed him, mother,

and you failed yourself.

You lost the man you

loved. He died here.

But my man won't,

unless they kill me too!

You can't!

I'm sorry, Jeb, for

all the wrong I did ya.

- Forgive me.

- You didn't have to ask me that.

- You've given me back my life.

- Oh, mother.

I told you once, Jeb,

never to look back.

Look ahead. I tell you that again now.

You couldn't then.

But now I can and will.

Take your wife home, Jeb.
