The Man from Laramie Page #7

- Pushed him?

- You don't think he fell?

With his eyes, he had

no business on a horse.

There's nothing wrong with

his horse's eyesight.

Somebody pushed him all right.

The same one who killed

Dave and Chris Boldt.

Who?

I'm afraid Alec is the only

one who can tell us that.

I have another call to make.

Sit with him until I get back.

You already know who

it is, don't you?

- What makes you say that?

- If you do, I want you to tell me.

If I knew, I wouldn't be

waiting for Alec to come to.

What are you afraid of?

- Why should I be afraid?

- I don't know.

- I don't know, but you are.

- I knew it'd come to this. It just had to.

It didn't have to.

Somebody made it happen.

When my father was dying,

he told me to leave.

He said everything here was built on greed,

killing, and that it'd go on that way.

I wouldn't listen. I saw

only what I wanted to see.

Tell me what you're thinking.

I've got to know.

I'm not sure.

I came as soon as I heard.

How did he die?

He's not dead, Vic. Not yet.

- How did it happen?

- We don't know. He's still unconscious.

- Maybe I can get him to...

- Take it easy.

- I've got to see him. I've got to know.

- The doc says his chances are just fair.

He may not wake up at all. You barging

in there won't help things any.

Why don't you pour

yourself a cup of coffee?

I heard he fell.

But Alec was too good a horseman

to fall out of a saddle.

Do you have any idea who'd want

to get rid of the old man?

Alec made a lot of enemies when

he was building up the Barb...

but that was long ago.

- If I could just see him...

- Just sit down and relax.

Kate's in there with him.

I can get him to talk. I know

him better than anybody else.

Lockhart, he's asking for you.

Who's there?

It's Will Lockhart, Mr. Waggoman.

Good.

Good. Come over here, Lockhart.

Come here, close to me.

Sit down.

I got going over those old bills.

I found out about the

shipment of rifles.

He made Dave do it.

He made Dave sign the order, too.

He wouldn't tell me

where they were...

but I know every hiding

spot in this country.

He killed Dave.

He tried to kill me, too.

Who?

The man in my dream.

He didn't come from far

away to kill my boy.

He was right here, in my house...

pretending he loved me like a son.

Vic.

That's the man you're looking for.

Where are you, Kate?

Here I am, Alec.

Don't go away, Kate.

I've never left you, Alec.

Hold it, Vic.

Unbuckle your belt.

Turn around.

I came 1,000 miles to

kill you, Hansbro.

- You're crazy! I never did anything to you.

- I'm not going to rush it.

- I've waited a long time for this.

- What are you talking about?

I never laid eyes on you till

that day at the salt flats.

- You've got no cause to shoot me.

- Shooting's too good for you.

What did I do to you?

Tell me, I've got a right to know.

I guess a man's got a right to

know what he's going to die for.

- The Dutch Creek massacre.

- I wasn't there. I never even heard of it.

My brother was there, along with a

whole patrol of kids just like him.

You sold the Apaches the guns they used.

It's as if you pulled the trigger yourself.

Give me a chance!

I'll give you the same

chance you gave Alec.

They're coming for their guns.

Kill me and they'll kill you.

Get over behind that wagon.

- What are you going to do?

- Do as I tell you! Get over there.

Kick that rock out

from under that wheel.

Get the wagon moving. Push!

Come on, get back here.

They paid for these guns.

- If they don't get them, they'll kill us.

- Push!

Get up that front wheel.

Pull up on that wheel.

Come on, do as I say! Harder!

Come on, harder!

Come on, back here.

Get away from me.

Get away from me.

I feel like such a fool.

At my age, too.

You look like a bride.

When's the wedding?

Just as soon as he's

well enough to stand up.

That won't be very long.

He's sitting up now.

Where are you, Kate?

He needs me. Isn't that wonderful?

- Good-bye, Miss Waggoman.

- Good-bye, Mr. Lockhart.

When you go East, you'll

pass through Laramie.

If you should ask for a Captain Lockhart,

anyone will tell you where to find me.

I'll remember that.
