don't wanna be tough scout.

Maybe not.

You figure you beat the man,

you win the breed, huh?

I'll tell you something, Varner.

Maybe the man beats you.

Maybe this half-breed, he'll be Indian.

Feed my dog.

Here, boy. Here.

Ned.

Ned.

Ned.

Ned.

Ned.

Ned.

I saw something.

You find the old man?

Yeah.

You won't hear him.

I'll hear him.

It doesn't happen that way.

He just comes.

I'll hear him.

I'm going to cross the clearing.

Head for the north side of the corraI

into the trees.

I'm gonna draw his fire.

If I don't,

at least he'll be watching me.

When I get to the middle of the clearing,

I want you out the storeroom window.

Our best bet's still having

two of us on him.

Keep well behind me.

If I can keep his eye on me...

...he'll still think

there's one of us in this house.

Let him know when I'm halfway across.

He's there.

Sam!

Hey, Sam.

Yeah?

He's hit.
