Judd, you can't.
I got to
get in the house.
Poke your head out in the
clear, and a Falin will get you.
But Melissa,
she's going to have a baby.
Hit you, David?
No Falin can ever
get me, Uncle Judd.
Oh, God, give her the strength to be good,
to be never hateful
and never fight.
And don't let her
carry the burden of fear,
watching her loved ones
and seeing them die.
Always asking
out of her heart,
"Why has it got to be?
Why has it got to be?"
When it's twilight
on the trail
And I jog along
The world is like a dream
And the ripple of the stream
is my song
When it's twilight
on the trail
And I rest once more
My ceiling is the sky
is my floor
Never ever have a
nickel in my jeans
Never ever
have a debt to pay
Still I understand
what real contentment means
Guess I was born that way
When it's twilight
on the trail
And my voice is still
Please plant
this heart of mine
Underneath the Lonesome
Pine on the hill
And I says to him, I says,
"Look here, Zeke Denker,
"you're driving your hogs
to mighty poor swill."
Bet that buttoned him.
Not Zeke.
He's the laughingest man I
Laughs when it's clever enough to rain.
Laughs when
the sun shines.
He looks me
right in the eye...
Dave's better.
Is he?
Yep.
Perking up a mite.
Arm's a little green
but I stuck a chaw
of tobaccy on it.
Cold rifle barrel
will do it more good.
What he have to say?
About the Falins I mean.
"Eat your sow belly and get
for home." That's what he said.
Said, "Ain't gonna be no
fighting till I can tote a gun."
And I come six miles.
Six miles.
I can throw a clump
of dogwood that far.
I'm nigh on to 30 miles.
Look. Look.
Gather around now.
Gather around.
show you something now.
Maybe we's will
get a go at the kid.
Whenever Judd Tolliver gets
an itch to plug the Falins,
he starts playing
with the young ones.
I'm gonna be
the human hub.
Now, Willie, you go down there and
stop me if I get to going too fast.
Lizzie Bee, you better
go down and help Willie.
Look out now, here I come.
Don't forget to stop me.
Well, why didn't
you stop me?
Judd's better than that
wagon show we saw once.
Melissa, you got a bellyache or something?
Just thinking, Lina.
Sakes and sassafras!
Thinking
boils the pot over.
It boils over and over and
over if you ain't thinking.
Killing.
All the time killing.
They are planning it now.
They done it yesterday,
and the week before,
and the year before that.
Ever since I was a little child they done it.
Kill a Falin.
Kill a Falin.
That's all they could say.
Plowing, splitting reins.
Filling the corn crib.
Kill a Falin! And the echo comes
back to us from over the hills.
Kill a Tolliver.
Kill. Kill. Why?
Melissa!
What you biting
your paws about, Auntie?
Worrying, I guess, June
and Buddie ain't back yet.
Where they be?
Over at the yard doctor,
getting a potion for you.
Is that the way
you like it?
Just right.
You should have let me
get a town doctor, Dave.
It don't look right.
It's too swole up.
You're awfully
good to me, Auntie.
You're a good boy, Dave.
Your boy.
My boy.
Sometimes I wished I was,
Auntie. Then I wished I wasn't
'cause if I was, I couldn't
marry June and if I wasn't...
Relations like we ones
got me all thicked up.
Cousins are always thicker than
fleas in the mountains, Dave.
I'm a big, big
black bear.
I'm a mean black bear.
I'm getting closer.
I'll get you.
I'm coming closer.
You laugh at me, foreigner,
and I'll... I'll...
I don't blame you, I'd
do the same thing myself.
That was funny.
Why didn't you laugh?
She's one of
the Tollivers.
That's still funny.
She didn't think so.
That's a woman's privilege.
Now, where were we?
Right in the middle of
that fault, over there.
Yeah.
Two years supply of strip-coal
before we have to drift mine it.
We'll steam-shovel
the top coal
and make it pay for
the railroad up here.
You haven't got it yet.
No.
Well, suppose you let me worry about that.
privilege is yours, my friend.
You got that privilege
this very minute.
Start using it.
I was just
running in that wood,
and I heard
she was a bear.
And when I looked
around to see if she
was going to eat me,
she was gone.
Maybe she ate herself
and disappeared.
Judd Tolliver,
how you talk.
Child. Child. You mustn't.
Juny's coming back.
Maybe she stopped
down by the river.
Looks like she fetched
the river with her.
June!
Well, I brung it,
didn't I?
June, if you ain't
the lookingest...
I've been running
across that log
ever since I was knee high to a grasshopper.
I can catch a squirrel
on it with one hand,
but when that dog
see that foreigner...
Foreigner?
He stopped right smack-dab in the
middle of the log and I tripped.
What was
the foreigner doing?
Don't know.
Wasn't looking.
Before you know it, there
I go. Plunk, right down.
What did he look like?
Just had a squint.
He's about so tall,
about that wide.
Was all dressed in brown,
even his hat.
And his coat had a belt.
Just a squint?
Dave Tolliver,
if you're thinking
what I'm a thinking, I'm
going to tell you off.
Go down to the creek
and wash your dirty face.
For two carrot seeds,
I'd rub it all over you.
You do it, and I'll spank you where it hurts.
You will, will you?
Did that hurt?
How could it?
Oh!
I've been talking
to your pappy.
We's going to get married.
When?
Hog killing time.
Your pappy has invited all the Tollivers.
The whole kit
and boodle of them.
I ain't marrying
till green up.
Spring's always
the time to do them things.
Then it'll be next green up and the next.
I don't feel nothing.
Like... What do you mean?
I don't know.
Come on. Come on.
Dinner.
Come on.
Better make it just a dipping, June, or them
hungry mouths
will eat that table bare.
Ma. Come here.
Ma. Do I...
Do I like Dave?
Why, honey,
I think you do.
Like you like Pappy?
Well, you remember when
Dave went to Pokey Wells,
you was a-grieving for him
then, weren't you?
And when he's to home, he
don't make no nevermind to you?
But, Ma...
Melissa,
the folks are waiting for their dinner.
Coming.
Well, that's
liking, honey.
This here man wants
to talk to you, Judd.
Does, huh?
My name is Hale,
Jack Hale.
I wonder if I could
see you alone.
Here's all right.
Well, I...
You see, I wanted to
talk to you about coal.
The coal on your property,
I mean.
You know what I mean? The
fault down about a mile.
Well, you've seen the coal.
You know what I mean.
The fault. The Alton people,
I'm with them and they...
You was talking
about coal.
Oh, yes. Coal.
There'll be a railroad
up along the Ticopi
and then down across the ridge to your place.
Who said there would?
I mean, of course,
if it's agreeable with
the contracting parties,
like yourself.
The thing will make you rich.
And if we can
