:40:00
The chief says the railroad's
busted the agreement.
:40:02
They've changed the route and are comin'
through the Arapahoe huntin' grounds.
:40:06
- You sure the chief's right?
- Plenty sure.
:40:08
They're getting the warpaint ready.
:40:14
Can you stand there and tell me...
:40:16
...that one little change is gonna cost
the Arapahoes one buffalo.
:40:20
- Or even one jackrabbit?
- Mr. King!
:40:22
They can be made to see it differently.
Who's hurting 'em?
:40:25
What's a railroad anyway?
Two tracks and a whistle.
:40:29
It's not the tracks they're afraid of.
It's what the tracks bring.
:40:33
The buffalo hunters slaughtering off
their herds.
:40:35
And then the settlers coming in.
:40:37
And when will that be?
Twenty, 30 years, maybe?
:40:40
By then, we'll all be dead.
:40:42
Right now we're just crossing the land.
:40:45
That's all. Land that's safe
to the Arapahoes for our lifetime.
:40:48
Now, you go talk to 'em.
Smoke a peacepipe with 'em.
:40:53
Just get 'em to make a new agreement.
:40:57
That's your job, isn't it?
Keeping the peace?
:41:01
I'll keep the peace, Mr. King...
:41:03
...if you keep your promise.
:41:14
Hear your name's Rawlings
and you're from Ohio.
:41:16
Your pa's name couldn't be
Linus Rawlings, could it?
:41:19
- Could be.
- Knew him.
:41:21
Jethro Stuart.
:41:23
- He used to speak of you.
- Used to?
:41:25
Pa was killed at Shiloh.
:41:28
Sit down, Mr. Stuart.
:41:31
Well, better than dyin' behind a plow.
:41:34
I tried it. Settled down for a year once.
:41:37
It took ten years off my life.
:41:41
Your ma...
:41:43
She must've been somethin' real special
gettin' old Linus to stay put.
:41:48
She was, Mr. Stuart. Very special.
:41:52
Old Linus.
:41:54
Two years runnin' once, your pa and me
trapped together. Up along the Wannakee.
:41:58
We got ourselves so many beaver...
