:43:15
-Who's that?
-Just me--Lem Smoot.
:43:18
Come here to gloat over me, huh?
:43:20
You can turn right around
and get out of here.
:43:23
l came because l thought maybe
you'd be needing a friend.
:43:26
There's a funny glow in the sky
tonight, ain't there?
:43:30
l remember once hearing
one of them lndian legends...
:43:33
about how their ancestors
lit bonfires in the sky...
:43:36
when a chief's son was a-dyin'.
:43:38
He's dying?
:43:40
lt don't surprise me none.
:43:42
Lewt always was a good shot.
:43:45
lt looks like
them ancestors of yours...
:43:46
have to put out those bonfires.
:43:49
What do you mean?
:43:51
l guess Jesse's a little tougher
than you thought.
:43:55
Thank God.
:43:56
l thought l knew you
better than that.
:44:00
l know how fond you were
of those boys...
:44:02
and how proud
of them you were.
:44:05
lt don't seem possible...
:44:07
but l must have been wrong
about a whole lot of things.
:44:10
Laura Belle warned me
l was spoiling Lewt...
:44:13
but l wouldn't listen to her.
:44:16
Look. You see
them plains and hills?
:44:20
l was so almighty proud...
:44:22
of what l carved
out of this country.
:44:24
l figured
l was building something...
:44:26
for Lewt and Jesse.
:44:28
And what have l got now?
:44:31
Lewt a murderer, an outlaw.
:44:34
Jesse...
:44:37
Jesse would come back
any time you want him to.
:44:40
You think so?
:44:43
He told me to tell you so.
:44:48
l'm just a lonely old man
who needs a friend...
:44:52
like you said.
