"had a pairof balances in his hand. "and i heard a voice "in the midstof the four beasts say, "a measure of wheat for a penny. "and three measures of barley for a penny. "and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. "and when he had openedthe fourth seal, "i heard the voiceof the fourth beast say, "come and see.
"and i looked. "and beholda pale horse. and his name that saton him was death." "and hell followedwith him." here'sa towel for you. dinner willbe ready pretty soon. the way he wadedinto mcgill and his men, you should have seen him. well, he soundsno different than mcgill
or tyson or any oflahood's roughnecks. at least he wasn'tafraid of them. and that's whatwe need up here, someonethey can't scare. you scaredof 'em, hull? well,he should be, but he's tooall-fired stubborn. but i was scared,and that's the point. they had me scared,and they knew it.
lahood, he's got usall scared. lindquist left. he didn't even knowwhere he was going. "just going," he said. the colonyis beaten, hull. the only one whodoesn't know it is you. megan: and me.i'm not leaving until lahood'smen are whipped. every lastone of them.
hush, megan. now, see what you'redoing, hull barret? you got her talking more like yourdaughter than mine. now tell herthis is nonsense, this businessabout fighting. well, who said anythingabout fighting? you did. talkingabout this stranger. what is he,a gunman?

and thank youfor helping on hull's behalfthis morning. i'm sarah wheeler. this ismy daughter megan. megan. i guess we got kind ofcarried away there, but from the way that you handledthose men in town, i never would havethought--
would you say grace? certainly. for what we areabout to receive, may we betruly thankful. your shift startedover an hour ago. apologize, josh,we'd been here, but we got tied upat the sawbone's. what the hell happened? well, we had a little set-inwith barret, boss.
he was in town. and you got whipped in lahood, california,by a tin pan? well, there wasthis stranger, kind ofgiving him a hand. stranger? big guy. who are youtalking about? he left with barret.
didn't stick aroundto check. mcgill, take the sluice. jagou, tyson, elam,take over the mine. yes, sir. club! this man lahood,i take it he's the one you allare feuding with? yeah, well,him and his son. ol' coy lahood,he's a powerful man.
he come up herei guess in '54 or '55 i think it was. he was the first manto strike it rich. he saved himselfa poke, and then he'd stakenew claims, then he'd mine themout and buy some more. last couple years,he's been using them big hydraulicmonitors. oh, yeah.
they blastthe place to hell. excuse my french. morning, meg. hello. lahood, now he'smore powerful than ever. but carbon canyon'sthe only place his crewhasn't ruined yet. he's greedyfor it, too. does he have any lawful rightsto your canyon here?
oh, no. my claim isfiled in sacramento. same as everybodyelse's. and the only way lahood can takethis land legally is if we leave it. i take it he's beenkind of persuasive. i don't careif they all leave, i'm staying here. they killed my dogand my grandpa.
isn't thereany law around? someone you cantake your case to? oh, even if there was,lahood would own them like he ownseverything else. and there's not mucha lawman could do, even if we had one. 'cause lahood, he ain'treally killed anyone yet. meg's grandpa's heartgave out on him. i've beensort of taking care
of sarah and meganever since. it ain't thatwe're living in sin, and it ain't that i don'twant to marry the woman. it's just that one day,a few years back, her husband, megan's father,he lit out on her. and left herwith a half-grown child. and since then, getting hertrustful of a man has been, you know...well, it ain't been easy. but whenwe do get hitched,
how about youdoing the hitching? well, if you'rewaiting for a woman to make up her mind, you may havea long wait. yeah, i guess so. meantime, why don'tyou put me to work? oh, no, i couldn't askyou to, uh... well, i mean, you know, maybe if therewas something spiritual... well, that spiritain't worth spit
withouta little exercise. now youtell me where. yeah? well, ok. um, you know,i always thought that, um, if i could splitthat rock there and get to thegravel underneath, there's goldbeen waiting since the beginningof time. now, every morningfor two years,
i've beencoming out here. and you see, it's like this rockand me, you know, we have a kindof agreement. i'm goingto do it in, or it'sgoing to do me in. well, i'd hate to lay oddson who's going to win that one. yeah? well, i... you know, i thoughtof drilling it
and blastingthe son of a gun, but, you know,that would-- that would wreckthe stream, wouldn't it? yeah.dam up the stream. be the endof everything. well, there's plainfew problems can't be solved with a little sweatand hard work. hull? mr. preacher?
somebody's coming. do yourecognize him? the one on the leftis lahood's boy josh. the other one, i ain't neverseen him before. barret. friend of yours,barret? yep. he'sour new preacher. preacher, huh?
hear you messed upsome of my boys, preach. nothing personal. well, i hope you won'ttake it personal when we tell you to get the hellout of carbon canyon. well, there's a lotof sinners hereabouts. you wouldn't want meto leave before i finish my work,would you? club.
aaaah! jesus. your work done now,preacher? part of it,leastways. uhh! ohh! all right. get up. oh, oh, ooh!.
it's all right.take it easy. you could put itin a little ice, and that willtake care of it. ohh. ohh! ohh. thanks forstopping by, son. you thinkyou can make it? ice. boy.
well, the lord certainlydoes work in mysterious ways. preacher, my ass. [train whistle] good day,mr. lahood. whitey. watch that step,mr. lahood. why? damn thing move since we leftsacramento? thank you, mr. lahood!
welcome home,pop. morning, son, mcgill. boss, how wassacramento? paradise. politicians for everychinese laundry, 2 whoresfor every politician. if there was goldin the delta, i'd go there. how's business?
well, we're stillpulling low-grade ore out ofnumber 5 shaft, but that vein'sabout played out. uh-huh. we wentanother 20 foot down 12 shaft, pulled out nothingbut magnetite and shut her down. and that placer veinin cobalt canyon
is wearingkind of thin, too. what about carbon? well, we ran another raidthrough there a few days back. put a damn good scareinto them, didn't we, mcgill? yeah. yeah.we damn near run them outthis time-- lock, stock,and barrel. uh-huh?! seems this strangersort of came through
and pulledthem together. ain't that the wayyou see it, mcgill? yeah, that's whathe done. he kind of pulled themtogether. this one strangerdid that? hell, i expect you boysdidn't explain to him just who we are. i expect that once youexplain things to him, he'll decideto move on.
yeah, there ain't muchfor a preacher to do around hereanyway, right? a preacher! you let a preacherinto carbon canyon? we didn't invite him. he took up with hull. what the hell's wrongwith a preacher anyway? when i leftfor sacramento, those tin panshad all but given up.
their spiritwas nearly broken. and a man without spiritis whipped. but a preacher... he couldgive them faith. shit!one ounce of faith, they'll be dug in deeperthan ticks on a hound. you boys, you go throwa rope around that man. you bring him to me! no. don't.
if we get too rough, we'llmake a martyr out of him. don't wantto give them a martyr. that's true. well, you didn't get no help fromsacramento, boss? sacramento ain'tworth moose piss! they didn't signthe writ, i take it? not only that, some of them bast--whoa there, will.
some of thembastard politicians want to do away withhydraulic mining altogether. raping the land,they call it. we got to move on carbonand move fast and dig deep. 'cause the waythe wind's blowing, in another couple years, we may beout of business. those tin panshave got to go! and that preacher.
i'll have to find a wayto deal with him. were grandma and grandpa happywhen you got married, ma? i'm afraidthey didn't have a thimblefulof choice in the matter. were they surprised? your grandpatook the measles, and your grandmagot drunk. i supposeyou could say it surprisedthem some.
was it 'cause they thought youweren't old enough? your grandma was 15when she got married. no, i think what riled themwas who i married. think you'll be happymarried to hull? who says i ammarrying hull? hull's nice enough,isn't he? yes. he's nice. do preachersget married?
i don't see why not. how do i look? you look lovely. you are theprettiest daughter i could ever have. whoo! break your handthere, hull? nuggets! it's the biggestdamn nugget i ever seen! look here.
look at that. whoo!isn't that beautiful? that's almost asbeautiful as sarah, huh? sarah! look! yeah. it figures. they come fromunderneath that boulder. he found itunder the boulder right over there.
i was right! you know, i was right! and it must weighall of 4 ounces. that's a quarter poundof gold. see that? oh, is that real? real? just look at it! oh! honey! so, how aboutwe celebrate?
can we gointo town? i don't think that'sa very good idea. that would go a long way to clearing your credit,wouldn't it? well, it wouldat that. clear itand then some. can we, please? well, what doyou think? why not? we've gotas much right in town
as the next person. you going to town again,mr. barret? that's right.you want to come along? no. our daddy wouldn'tlet us go to town. sure is a nice dayfor it though, huh? i'll be right back. i'll go square thingswith mr. blankenship. take careof the ladies. won't be hard.
we'll get a sodaafter i'm done. look. i'll go get hull. that's all right. we'll be fine. mrs. wheeler. my papa wantsto see you, preacher. he does, does he? don't go. i knowit's a trick.
be all right. good day. what if they hurt him? shut up, megan. i'm sorry. it's all right. preacher, my nameis coy lahood. i know. uh, do you imbibe,reverend?
only after 9:00in the morning. when i heard a parsonhad come to town, i had an imageof a pale, scrawny, bible-thumpingeasterner, with a linenhandkerchief and bad lungs. that's me. hardly. your health, sir.
you know,it occurred to me, it must be difficultfor a man of faith to carry the message on an empty stomach,so to speak. so i thought,why not invite this devoutand humble man to preach in town? why not let the townbe his parish? in fact,
why not build hima brand-new church? i can seewhere a preacher would be mighty temptedby an offer like that. oh, indeed. first thing you know,he'd be thinking about getting himselfa batch of new clothes. why, we'd have themtailor-made. then he'd start thinkingabout those sunday collections. well, in a townas rich as lahood,
that preacher, oh, he'd bea wealthy man. that's whyit wouldn't work. can't serve godand mammon both, mammon being money. i openedthis country. i made this townwhat it is. i brought jobsand industry. i built an empirewith my own 2 hands.
and i've never askedhelp from anyone. those squatters,reverend, are standing inthe way of progress. theirs or yours? here, look, looklook at that writ! it comes hotfrom sacramento, and it tells me i'vegot mineral rights to that wholedamn canyon. that hardly seems likely.
if you hadthose rights, you would haveexercised them. no, i think those peoplehave legal claims, and you can't mine that canyonuntil they leave. damn it! you read.come on, read that writ! if it was worth the paperit was printed on, you wouldn't betrying to bribe me. what's your business with those tin pans,reverend?
nothing.they're just friends. well, youand your friends got 24 hours topack up and leave, or my men will ride through that canyonand run you out. i've beena law abiding man, but now i'mout of patience. and any bloodgets spilled will beon your hands.
you're a troublemaker,stranger. you spellbad cess in letters that stretchfrom here to seattle. thanksfor the drink. preacher... i mean,i've reasoned with you, and i bargainedwith you, and i'vecome up short. what's mine is mine.
and if you make mefight for it, i will. there's a man,a marshal, he keeps the peace,if you take my meaning. his name is stockburn, and he won'tbe as patient as me. these peopleat carbon canyon, would you be willingto pay cash for their claims? buy them out?
well, hell,i'd do anything to prevent bloodshed. how about$100 a head? how about 1,000? now, i'll tell you what.i'll come up to 125. stockburnand his deputies will cost youa lot more than that. how would you know? how much is it worth
to havea clear conscience? $1,000 per claim then, but i want themout of here in 24 hours! i paid it off all cashin full, sarah. i even had enoughto pay off spider's. where is he? in there. well, do something,hull. what wereyou doing in there?
lahood wasbuying me a drink. thanksfor the thought. all thosein favor. yeah. aye. any opposed? me, dang it. me and coy lahood seen a lot of groundtogether,
starting back in '55. he may be greedy,but he ain't no fool. if he's willing to coughup $1,000 a claim, it's 'cause he knows it's worth 5 timesthat much. the way lahood worksmaybe it is. the way we work, we're lucky to see$1,000 a year. i say wetake his offer.
suppose you struck a thousand bucksin nuggets. would you quitand blow town or keep digging? what do you say,preacher? what i saydoesn't matter. it's your sweathe's buying. why don't yousleep on it? make the decisionin the morning.
what if we don'tdecide in the morning? what happensif we can't decide? well, then i suppose lahoodwill take that as no. and then what? he said he'dcall in the marshal. what kindof threat is that? we have nothing tofear from the law. this is no ordinarykind of marshal. his nameis stockburn.
he travelswith 6 deputies. and they uphold whateverlaw pays them the most. killing is a way of lifewith them. now i'm telling you this 'cause in case you decideagainst lahood's offer, you're goingto meet him. you knowthis stockburn? i've heard of him. i don't know.
well, we all know whatwe're up against. lahood ain't justsaying, "take my offer." he's saying,"take my offer or else." we're family men, hull. we're no matchfor seven guns. yeah,but how many of us-- how many ofus are there? 20. i heardthe preacher.
i know these menare professionals, but it's still 20against 7, ain't it? and we knowhow to pull a damn trigger,don't we? men: yeah. look, if it comesdown to it, i'm willing to fight before i'llquit my claim, but damn it, lahood'soffer is fair.
i still votewe take his money and start afreshsomewhere else. oh, starting freshalways sounds good when you're in trouble. but before we voteto pack up and leave, i think we ought toask ourselves why we're here. 'cause if it'sno more than money, then we're no betterthan lahood himself. spider hereasked the question,
"if any one of us turned up$1,000 worth of nuggets, would he quit?"hell, no. he'd build his familya better house and buy his kidsbetter clothes, maybe build a school, or a church. if we were farmers,we'd be planting crops. if we raised cattle, we'd be tending them, but we're miners.
so we dig and panand break our backs for gold, but gold ain'twhat we're about. it ain't what i'm about. i came out hereto raise a family. this is my home. this is my dream. i sunk roots here. and we all... buried members of our familiesin this ground.
and this is their dream, too,and they died for it. now, are we goingto take $1,000 and leave theirgraves untended? we owe them morethan that, don't we? we owe ourselves more. because if wesell out now... what price do we puton our dignity next time? $2,000? less?
or justthe best offer? i say the hellwith lahood. i, uh,ain't a brave man, but i ain'tno coward neither. we took our chancesthis far. i vote wekeep it up. all: yeah. to hellwith lahood. let him come.
we're ready. i buried my dogover here. well, that'shallowed ground then. i said a prayerfor her. it was afterthe raid. i prayedfor a miracle. well, maybe some dayyou'll get that miracle. it was the dayyou arrived. i think i love you.
there's nothingwrong with that. if there was morelove in the world, there'd probably bea lot less dying. then there can'tbe anything wrong with making loveeither. i think it's best just to practiceloving for a while before you thinkabout the other. if i practicejust loving for a while,
will youteach me the other? megan,most folks around kind of associatethat with marriage. i'll be 15next month. mama was marriedwhen she was 15. will youteach me then? 99 out of 100 men would be proud to say yesto that, megan. but a young girl,
a young womanlike you... you wouldn't wantto spend your future on a man like me. why not? that's justthe way it is. i don't understand. i don't believe you. i don't wantto believe you. whatever you're saying,it isn't true.
it isn't fair. come on now. that's no wayto pass the test. test? trust. if you love someone, you've got to tryto trust what theytell you is true. even if it meansthey can't be together?
someday a young man'sgoing to come along, the right man... and none of thiswill matter anymore. if i was your mom, i'd be worriedabout where you are. it's my mamayou love, isn't it? your mama'sa fine woman. so are you. the way youlook at her,
and the way shelooks at you. it's true. i don't care.you can have her. i never wantto see you again. i hope you die, and i hope yougo to hell. tell your fatherthey turned him down. [train whistle blows] good morning.
you're just in timefor the mail. hell with the mail. boss wants thistelegram sent right now. preacher? he's gone. what? who? the preacher. packed upand left.
but why? where to? he must have leftbefore sunup. well... he must have goneto tell lahood about the vote last night. with his bedrolland coat? why, i can't believethat he's gone. i mean,it's not like him.
he would havesaid something to us. well, i reckonwe'll survive. all this talkabout fighting, no wonder he's gone. what's thatsupposed to mean? lahood and marshalstockburn be damned-- isn't that what youdecided last night? i spoke my mind,if that's what you mean. you got the rest of themto vote your way, didn't you?
they votedtheir conscience. they voted to fight. damn right! if that'swhat it comes to. you think they'dhave voted that way before the preacher came? you think theywould've voted that way if they knewhe wouldn't be here? they votedto stick together. the preacher washolding them together.
they knew hehelped you in town. they watched him stand upto that animal lahood sent here. they were counting on himto beat lahood himself. i reckon i did all rightbefore he came, didn't i? [explosion] damn, if thatdon't cut it. lahood dammed upthe creek. if you'd acceptedlahood's offer,
this never wouldhave happened. that's 10, 20, and 30. thank you, miss harper.come back and see us. reverend, whatcan i do for you? here you are. i reckon it's timeto pack up the missis and light out of here. don't seem likewe got much choice. how about you,barret?
any ideas? where'sthe preacher? he'll knowwhat to do. he ain't here. you meanhe's gone? he, uh... he went to tell lahoodthat we turned him down. but before he left... he said ifthat anything happened,
that he hoped we'd dolike he'd do... if he was here. shit. i don't know, um... i supposewe could dry pan for a couple of days. he'd hate to see us quitwithout we gave it our best. let's play at ita couple days. what can we lose?
one nugget, i'd like tofind me one big nugget. i'd shove it so far uplahood's ass it'd wink at himwhen he washes his teeth. you got sand, barret, but you can't lieworth a damn. withthe preacher gone and lahoodon the warpath, your life won'tbe worth spit. if i was you,
i'd pack themtwo ladies and git. huh? you angry at me? no. whatever gave youthat notion? you angryat mama then? i wouldn't say that,not angry. she hurt your feelings,didn't she? i knowhow that feels. yeah.well, uh...
let's talkabout it later. hull, can i borrowthe mare? can you saddle her? i already did. sure. take her outfor a stretch. rich, by christ! sweet holy ghost,i've struck it rich! gossage,look at this! henderson!
barret! look at this! eddie! teddy! you pairof tadpoles! come see what your daddypulled out of the stream! ha ha ha! lahood, youtwo-legged toad! i beat you! ol' spiderstruck it rich!
what you got there,daddy? what's it look like? you brainlessbarn owl! it's gold! go get the mules. we're goingto town. us? we're going to town! sarah, i wantto apologize
if anythingi've said or done is going to standbetween us. i can't thinkof any such. sure looks likespider's payday come. yeah. maybeit's just his turn, like it was your turna couple of days ago. leastwise, someone'sgonna leave carbon canyon a few dollars richer. looks like.
when we all pack up, i hope you know thatthere's room in my wagon for anything you'rewanting to take with you. are you asking usto leave here with you? i reckon we'reall going, aren't we? damn it, sarah, you know ever sinceyour daddy died, i've donethe best i could to help you and meganbest i know how
without puttingany conditions on it. now i'm puttin' one on. you owe me the truth. now, what do youhave against me? nothing. is there a chance for usbeing together? you are the decentest mani ever met, hull barret. the answer is yes. uh...sarah...
hull... i apologize... for beingso high-strung lately. it's just that i... i-i've beenso confused. with everythingthat's been going on, it's a wonderwe all ain't crazy. we got nothing moreto worry about. and we'll start all overagain someplace new...
the three of us. the first townwe get to, we'll find ourselvesanother preacher. another preacher. come to see howthe rich folks do it? maybe. does your mama knowwhere you are? i don't tell hereverything. she wouldn't likeit much
if she knewyou were here. 15--same age as herwhen she got married. i do whatever i want. want me toshow you around? that is whyyou came here, isn't it? about 3/4-mile upstream, we diverted halfof cobalt creek. it flows through a ditchalong the contours of the slope. ends up about100 yards up yonder.
it can't just end. well, it doesn't,really. flows into a lengthof three-foot pipe. and then that flowsdownslope real steep. and then that narrowsto a two-foot pipe and then aone-foot pipe. all that time thatwater's going downslope, it picks up speed. it picks up force by goinginto a thinner pipe.
it hurts my ears. by the time the waterreaches the monitor, i got about 200 poundsof pressure per square inch. i can blast that gravelout of that cliff, then it washesdown into the bed, then it travels rightthrough the sluice. looks like hell. i can get 20 tonsof gravel a day on this rig.
so tell me, what didyou really come up here for? i was just riding,taking a look around. yeah? i'm wantin'to take a look, too... at you. real close. aah! aah! look what i got me, boys. tin pan's daughter. get up on her, josh!

the way you warned usabout this stockburn fella, soundedlike you knew him. spider asked you that hisself. is it true? the vote you tookthe other night showed courage. you votedto stick together. that's justwhat you should do. spider made a mistake.he went into town alone. a man alone is easy prey.

would you carefor some coffee? the folk here tell methat you're planning to go to town and facethat marshal and his deputies. that's right. don't. it's an old score. it's timeto settle it. i wish there was somethingi could do or say to change your mind.
when you leftthe other day, it reminded me of a timewhen someone left me. after that i sworei would never be hurt again... or love again. then you rodeinto our lives. i couldn'thelp what i felt. oh, god, i wish i couldcontrol my feelings. after you left, i thoughtyou'd gone for good. it forced me to grow up,
see things differently. appreciate what i have. i need a man whowould never leave me. can you understand that? and you would leave againone day, wouldn't you? then it's bestthis way. i'm goingto marry hull. hull's a good man. yes, he is.
this is just soi won't wake up at night, for the restof my life, wondering. good-bye. good-bye, sarah. man, in distance:preacher! who is that? a voice from the past. sarah? close the door.
