Ballad of Cable Hogue The

en
00:00:43 Sorry, old-timer...
00:00:45 ...but you're only part poison,
00:00:50 Getting a little thirsty too.
00:00:59 Taggart?
00:01:02 Bowen, go easy.
00:01:08 You peckerwoods just raised hell
00:01:44 Find any water?
00:02:07 I appreciate humor, boys...
00:02:10 ...but I'm beginning to think
00:02:15 What else we got to do?
00:02:20 What did you find?
00:02:22 Ten thousand gallons of sand,
00:02:26 We had you shaking, didn't we, Cable?
00:02:30 Hold him, boy. Get over there.
00:02:36 It's just like you said, Hogue.
00:02:38 There's water enough for two,
00:02:41 You damn fool. You had us.
00:02:45 You just wouldn't pull the trigger.
00:02:47 - Because you're yellow.
00:02:52 - Hell, you're yellow, Hogue.
00:02:56 Old Cable's yellow
00:02:59 Old Cable is white
00:03:02 But that's all right
00:03:04 Taggart and Bowen as slick as you please
00:03:10 Hey, fellas. Leave me a little.
00:03:14 - Please.
00:03:17 Fifty thousand gallons of sand.
00:03:24 - We've got your water, Cable.
00:03:28 Call me yellow.
00:03:32 Leave me to dry and blow away.
00:03:35 Sing a song about it!
00:03:39 Laugh at old Cable Hogue, huh?
00:03:44 I'll get out! I'll get out!
00:03:48 Don't you worry none about that!
00:03:51 You just...
00:03:53 ...worry about when I get out.
00:03:56 I'll find you, Taggart.
00:03:59 You, Bowen,
00:04:02 You never could tell gold-shine from
00:04:07 A big difference!
00:04:11 I'll live to spit on your graves!
00:04:24 Old Cable's yellow
00:04:27 Yellow!
00:04:31 We got your water.
00:05:52 Ain't had no water
00:05:56 Getting a little thirsty.
00:06:00 Just thought I'd mention it. Amen.
00:07:06 Yesterday, I told you I was thirsty...
00:07:09 ...and I thought you might
00:07:15 Now, if I sinned,
00:07:20 ...and I won't do it no more...
00:07:22 ...whatever in the hell it was I did.
00:07:32 I mean that, Lord.
00:08:42 Four days without water. You don't
00:08:48 ...you ought to try going dry for a spell.
00:08:51 Listen to me. Listen to me.
00:08:54 If I don't get some soon,
00:09:02 Careful, now.
00:09:26 Lord...
00:09:28 ...you call it.
00:09:31 I'm just plain done in.
00:09:34 Amen.
00:10:16 Hogue...
00:10:18 ...found it.
00:10:40 Told you I was gonna live.
00:10:42 This is Cable Hogue talking.
00:10:47 Cable Hogue. Hogue. Me.
00:10:51 Me. I did it. Cable Hogue.
00:10:55 I found it. Me.
00:11:25 Wagons.
00:11:29 Stagecoaches.
00:11:31 Buckboards.
00:11:34 With kids and mamas.
00:11:39 People.
00:11:43 Going somewhere on a road.
00:11:52 And I'm on it.
00:11:56 Me and my water hole.
00:12:03 I whipped them bastards.
00:12:06 Now all I gotta do is wait.
00:12:10 Get out of there, boy.
00:12:12 Get with it. Hop on.
00:12:17 Hey, wait a minute, fellas.
00:12:19 Please.
00:12:23 Is something the matter?
00:12:27 He is, we ain't.
00:12:28 - Nice evening, fellas.
00:12:32 - I'm halfway to hell and looking for help.
00:12:35 You've fallen among good hands.
00:12:40 - You want a ride in?
00:12:43 - Matthew, chapter 2, verse 3.
00:12:46 I've told you never
00:12:49 As I hear, I judge,
00:12:52 - John, chapter 5, verse 30.
00:12:55 In the 26 years of our marriage,
00:12:59 ...I have never questioned
00:13:03 It seems ridiculous to sit in the middle
00:13:09 We're near halfway in.
00:13:11 - How about $3?
00:13:14 If sugar were 2 cents a barrel...
00:13:17 ...I couldn't afford a pinch of salt
00:13:21 - I was robbed about five days back.
00:13:24 - Robbery, did you say?
00:13:28 - They took everything I had.
00:13:32 Your language is disgusting.
00:13:35 Hell, we know that.
00:13:36 Well! More profanity.
00:13:39 Shoot, partner, crawl on up.
00:13:43 - What do you expect me to do?
00:13:46 We should leave.
00:13:49 - No, thanks.
00:13:52 Don't fret, Your Honor.
00:13:55 We're just fixing to leave
00:13:58 - Count your what?
00:14:03 Watering his mule?
00:14:06 - I'll explain it to you later.
00:14:09 - Oh, Deaddog's...
00:14:12 - And Gila City is about...
00:14:15 - I don't see any mules.
00:14:18 Wouldn't be no good without water.
00:14:20 This stage appears to me
00:14:23 Please.
00:14:24 No water between Gila and Deaddog?
00:14:27 Nope.
00:14:30 Sure don't seem to bother me none.
00:14:34 Daniel, are you going
00:14:37 Be worth a lot if a fella was to find it?
00:14:40 Worth a damn sight more than gold.
00:14:43 - Driver, it's getting dark.
00:14:47 - Damnedest thing I ever saw.
00:14:51 Got enough water to hold you?
00:14:54 - Never, anywhere.
00:14:57 - Yep.
00:15:01 Fellas?
00:15:03 Sure do... Well, many thanks.
00:15:08 - Many thanks till you're better paid.
00:15:12 I am going to report you
00:15:16 You shall never drive again,
00:15:18 The wrath of God cometh
00:15:22 - Ephesians, chapter 5, verse 6.
00:15:26 Hallelujah, brother! The Lord
00:15:32 - Matthew, chapter 2...
00:15:35 Next week. You sure
00:15:39 No.
00:15:41 No.
00:15:49 I'll be right here, Hogue.
00:15:52 Right here.
00:16:40 Hey, feller.
00:16:45 Hey, hold up there a minute, feller.
00:16:53 That's 10 cents. That's my water.
00:17:00 - Found it where it wasn't. Ten cents.
00:17:13 - You shouldn't have done that.
00:17:22 - Give me that rifle.
00:17:26 Now get out.
00:17:33 Drop by again.
00:17:36 You're my first customer.
00:17:56 Appears to me you've been
00:18:01 Not that it seems to bother you none.
00:18:23 Peace and goodwill, brother.
00:18:26 - Careful, son, I'm a man of God.
00:18:37 - Anybody with you?
00:18:41 I am the Reverend
00:18:43 ...preacher to all of eastern Nevada
00:18:48 Well, you're a sorry preacher.
00:18:51 And a hell of a sneak.
00:18:52 In my case, sir, those thus attributed
00:18:56 And speaking of such,
00:19:03 I'm Cable Hogue.
00:19:05 Cable? That's rather
00:19:20 You have builded an oasis
00:19:23 Oh, no, I just stumbled on that mud hole
00:19:29 You might call this place
00:19:35 Yeah.
00:19:36 That excavation, a wine cellar perhaps?
00:19:40 No, that's a three-holer.
00:19:47 I see tragedy has already struck
00:19:51 No, that's no tragedy.
00:19:53 Shot the son of a bitch.
00:19:57 He was my first customer.
00:20:01 Well said and well done. Defend thyself
00:20:06 You're a Good Samaritan to offer help...
00:20:08 ...to a needy traveler...
00:20:15 Water to men, sheep and hogs, 10
00:20:19 - Of course.
00:20:22 - In advance.
00:20:24 Which means before you drink,
00:20:28 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
00:20:31 You talk like a man of God, all right. But
00:20:36 My poor, misguided friend,
00:20:40 I will redeem you.
00:20:42 Ten cents, you pious bastard,
00:21:28 What church did you say you was with?
00:21:30 The Church of the Wayfaring Stranger.
00:21:35 Just like that?
00:21:38 - Just like that.
00:21:40 Wherever I go, it goes with me.
00:21:44 Would you like to see some
00:22:01 Why, that one's naked
00:22:04 Naked we come into this earth,
00:22:16 Well, well, brother Hogue.
00:22:20 I foresee a great community
00:22:23 Busy thoroughfares, alabaster buildings...
00:22:27 ...a thriving community
00:22:30 - Amen.
00:22:34 To sell, of course. I wish to buy.
00:22:37 Well, considerable.
00:22:39 I didn't see any boundary stakes
00:22:42 I suppose you've been too busy to go
00:22:47 You know, if anyone were to drop
00:22:52 ...there would be 47 men
00:22:55 ...with a claim in one hand
00:22:59 Yes, this information could mean
00:23:10 What a blessing religion must be,
00:23:15 The loan of your horse.
00:23:17 It's nothing, my friend.
00:23:20 I hate to go in among them...
00:23:23 ...but you've shown me the way
00:23:27 My only aim in life is to help
00:23:32 ...and the members of my parish.
00:23:35 God bless you, preacher.
00:23:37 Make yourself to home.
00:23:39 Only don't forget, every time you take
00:23:44 ...or I'll blow your ass
00:23:46 Come on, get up there. Get up there.
00:23:54 Well, get in...
00:23:57 ...get it over with...
00:24:00 ...then get out.
00:24:27 Please, miss.
00:24:30 Yes?
00:24:35 Please...
00:24:43 Well, hell, could you tell me
00:24:48 Well, you're looking right at it.
00:24:52 Can't you see the sign?
00:24:55 Well, you see, miss, I...
00:25:00 Well, hell, I don't read too goddamn
00:25:08 Which one is it?
00:25:12 It's right there, with the white sign.
00:25:18 Thank you kindly, miss.
00:25:24 The stage office?
00:25:29 It's kitty-corner from here,
00:25:32 - Thank you, miss.
00:25:35 Thank you truly.
00:26:22 How much it cost to file?
00:26:24 Will this be under the Desert Land Act
00:26:27 Well, I wanna do what's right.
00:26:30 Under the Desert Land Act, an individual
00:26:34 ...at a dollar and a quarter an acre.
00:26:37 Plus proof of reclamation.
00:26:39 Now, whoa. Hold up there, fella.
00:26:41 What the hell does all that mean?
00:26:44 Land without water is not allowable.
00:26:46 If you can't substantiate
00:26:49 Hold on there, fella. I got water.
00:26:51 Water?
00:26:56 - Where?
00:26:58 Eight miles through that Red Rock pass.
00:27:04 - Seems to be open at present, but...
00:27:07 - There's no water there.
00:27:10 If you can't drink it,
00:27:13 Speaking of which, where is it?
00:27:15 All right. What's your name?
00:27:17 Cable Hogue.
00:27:19 C-A-B... L-E or E-L?
00:27:28 How do you spell Cable?
00:27:30 If you're bogging down on Cable,
00:27:34 - How much it gonna cost?
00:27:40 Here.
00:27:43 What will that buy me?
00:27:47 - That will buy you two acres.
00:27:50 Let's see what it'll do,
00:27:54 - Two acres, Mr. Hogue?
00:27:57 - Well, yeah.
00:28:19 Two acres at Cable Springs,
00:29:12 - You put her down right there.
00:29:15 - I want a copy on my desk.
00:29:31 You the boss here?
00:29:33 - I'm Quittner.
00:29:39 Well, I'll bet you ain't
00:29:51 So you bought yourself a claim
00:29:55 - So what?
00:29:59 I can believe it.
00:30:02 Where is this claim, Mr...?
00:30:05 - Mr...?
00:30:07 C-A-B-L-E.
00:30:10 - It's at Jackass Flats, about a mile...
00:30:13 ...is so important
00:30:37 You trying to tell me you found water
00:30:41 If you was to give me $35...
00:30:47 ...I'd cut you in for half.
00:30:51 This stage line's been operating
00:30:54 We've looked under every rock
00:30:58 If there was water in that 40 miles,
00:31:02 - I'm telling you straight!
00:31:06 I've had my belly full of broken-down
00:31:10 ...and get-rich-quick-on-my-money
00:31:12 Every one of you comes by here
00:31:16 You're the only son of a bitch that has
00:31:21 Now, I let you talk, I listened to you
00:31:27 Get out and stay out, partner.
00:31:33 - By God, this is worth something.
00:32:21 - Eleven hundred.
00:32:23 Thirteen fifty.
00:32:25 - Forty, 45.
00:32:29 One thousand one, two...
00:32:31 - Ninety-two hundred.
00:32:34 ...five, six...
00:32:43 - Something I can do for you?
00:32:46 That's me. Mine. Mine.
00:32:49 Across the street there, they think
00:32:54 No water?
00:32:56 Listen.
00:32:58 I was robbed and left to die
00:33:06 Well, do I look dead?
00:33:09 No, sir. Climbed up on my hind feet
00:33:13 W-A-T-L-E.
00:33:16 That grabs you by the short hairs,
00:33:19 - You've got the floor.
00:33:22 ...can laugh at me all they want,
00:33:26 Wouldn't you think
00:33:28 In all the long, wrought-out,
00:33:33 ...bladder-busting
00:33:35 ...there's not one spot
00:33:39 Now, if I could bring comfort to
00:33:43 ...food and drink to the drivers,
00:33:46 ...what would be wrong with that? A
00:33:51 - Would you doubt a man of the Gospel?
00:33:54 That's the first man I'd doubt.
00:33:57 By golly.
00:34:00 I'll be damned.
00:34:02 Looks like I came to the right place
00:34:05 What do you want?
00:34:09 Grubstake.
00:34:11 Thirty-five of them green ones.
00:34:13 Have you any collateral?
00:34:17 Do you own anything?
00:34:20 - Why, sure. I told you, there.
00:34:46 Well, I'm worth something, ain't I?
00:34:58 I want to hear more.
00:35:02 - Why?
00:35:06 Hey, I always thought you bankers
00:35:10 - I didn't know you'd talk to trash like me.
00:35:14 Well, lend, borrow, invest
00:35:18 What the hell else do you call it?
00:35:21 What's your name?
00:35:24 Cable Hogue.
00:35:26 Cable, with an L-E.
00:35:28 So, Mr. Cable Hogue...
00:35:32 ...is $35 all you want?
00:35:37 Will a hundred get you started?
00:36:28 Hey, Hildy, you got a new customer.
00:36:34 Go on in, mister.
00:36:36 She's just waiting for you.
00:36:39 Standing like a jackass eating cactus.
00:36:46 Yes?
00:36:50 Hello.
00:36:57 Did you want to see me?
00:37:07 Well, come on in.
00:37:36 Honey, you was smelling bad enough
00:37:39 I smell a lot better right now though.
00:37:56 Hey, look at that. Inside plumbing.
00:38:00 As good as anything you'll find
00:38:07 Sweet glory, love.
00:38:11 Well, I had to get you rinsed off,
00:38:17 I swear I never seen a man so dirty.
00:38:20 You know, you must have had
00:38:24 Well, feel a lot lighter now, Millie.
00:38:30 My name is Hildy.
00:38:40 Well.
00:38:43 Now, don't you be mixing me up
00:38:49 Don't worry. I won't.
00:39:01 You know, honey...
00:39:04 ...if you're ever thinking
00:39:07 ...I'm building myself a place.
00:39:12 It's gonna be something.
00:39:17 No.
00:39:19 I've had enough of this damn desert.
00:39:23 Not me. Not yet.
00:39:26 I'm on my way up.
00:39:34 Undo me.
00:39:53 San Francisco is my next stop.
00:39:56 San Francisco?
00:39:58 - And when I hit Frisco...
00:40:03 ...I'm gonna hit it in style.
00:40:06 - Two days and you're tired of it.
00:40:12 I ain't even got there yet.
00:40:17 Oh, you'll get there, all right.
00:40:20 You bet your sweet life I will.
00:40:25 One way or another, love.
00:40:29 And when I do hit Frisco...
00:40:32 ...I'm gonna be the ladiest damn lady
00:40:46 I'm gonna marry me the richest man
00:40:51 Maybe the two richest men.
00:40:55 Well, if you ever need any help...
00:41:01 - You remember my name?
00:41:14 Come here.
00:41:22 God's pure and natural elements
00:41:27 Sinners.
00:41:29 What's wrong?
00:41:32 The devil seeks to destroy you
00:41:38 Ask me how I know.
00:41:41 There are those of us who talk to God.
00:41:47 He said:
00:41:50 "Inventions are the work of Satan.
00:41:55 Tell them how it is, James."
00:41:59 I gotta go. That pious son of a bitch
00:42:03 - What?
00:42:07 Hogue.
00:42:10 Hogue.
00:42:14 - Come here.
00:42:16 And gather by the river
00:42:20 That's what the Almighty said.
00:42:26 Lost it. No good.
00:42:32 Trouble is, I... I forgot
00:42:37 Build me a claim monument.
00:42:38 - What in the hell are you talking about?
00:42:43 - Bother me.
00:42:45 All the way through it.
00:42:51 Keep thinking of that damn preacher
00:42:56 - Maybe come here to cheat me.
00:42:59 Hell of a time to hold a goddamn
00:43:02 What is the matter with you?
00:43:07 Hey!
00:43:09 What?
00:43:10 - Ain't you forgetting something?
00:43:14 Well, what about me?
00:43:17 - Me. Me and my money.
00:43:22 For what?
00:43:41 Well, if you don't want me here.
00:43:43 Easy. Easy.
00:43:47 Whoa, hold up there, now. Careful.
00:43:52 - Didn't take you long, mister.
00:43:55 Hildy, listen to me. I told you.
00:44:00 Sold me out.
00:44:03 - I'll be back.
00:44:08 Look at him go!
00:44:14 Attagirl, Hildy.
00:44:22 - There you are, you son of a bitch.
00:44:26 - You call yourself a man?
00:44:29 - I got business at the springs.
00:44:33 Now, get up here and settle up.
00:44:35 - Later, Hildy.
00:44:40 Well, you know how it is, folks. Women.
00:44:50 Just a damn minute, Cable!
00:45:04 - Peace. Everything will be all right.
00:45:09 - Not you. You!
00:45:12 Is that you, Robert?
00:45:24 Get ahold of him, Frank.
00:45:27 Get him! Get him!
00:45:30 Go get him, Frank!
00:45:39 Nasty man, we'll never see you again.
00:45:42 - Hope he breaks his neck.
00:45:50 - Come on, let's ride him out of here!
00:45:55 It's all right, folks.
00:45:57 Yeah, it's all right.
00:46:02 Hey, come back here!
00:46:04 Cable Hogue, you're no damn good!
00:46:07 - I'll be back!
00:46:14 You hussy!
00:46:50 Welcome back to the fold, brother.
00:47:02 Drink up, preacher.
00:47:04 Gonna get spruced up.
00:47:09 I got unfinished business in Deaddog.
00:47:13 Amen.
00:48:16 Thank you.
00:48:20 That collar comes off as easy
00:48:23 Of course. If I cannot rouse heaven,
00:49:01 You see?
00:49:03 I told you. Went clean through.
00:49:09 She took her.
00:49:20 Children, we are gathered here under
00:49:24 Not now, Josh.
00:49:28 Hildy...
00:50:13 Now, Josh.
00:50:15 Children, we are gathered here under
00:50:43 Cable Hogue, take off your damn boots.
00:50:49 Now, that's better.
00:51:02 Well, the Lord giveth
00:51:17 Good evening.
00:51:33 Just passing through.
00:53:44 Yes?
00:53:49 My apologies for intruding
00:53:53 ...but being a man of the cloth
00:53:56 ...without at least offering you
00:54:10 I am Reverend
00:54:13 Reverend, thank you for coming.
00:54:31 Come, child, take my hand.
00:54:43 The Lord works in many ways.
00:54:45 Sometimes, when he has dealt too much
00:54:50 ...he sends a messenger
00:54:54 - He does?
00:54:59 Such a messenger am I.
00:55:02 Come, child, lay your head
00:55:07 This is a shoulder for the grieving...
00:55:11 ...a hand to be gripped in despair...
00:55:14 ...a vial to pour one's heart into.
00:55:18 My only mission in life
00:55:23 ...which I humbly offer you now.
00:55:29 Now...
00:55:32 ...what great weight can I lift
00:55:37 It's Frank.
00:55:40 Frank? Frank. Where?
00:55:43 He's dead.
00:55:45 I just got the telegram today.
00:55:47 - Happened in Gila.
00:55:49 He's been gone two days
00:55:51 How pitiful.
00:55:53 Weep your heart into mine, child,
00:55:57 I will be the reservoir for your sorrow.
00:56:06 Reverend Sloane, it's so good to know
00:56:10 Thank not me, I am but an emissary
00:56:16 Out of the depth of your sorrow...
00:56:19 ...we shall find the beauty of his love.
00:56:25 Even now as we stand here
00:56:28 ...feel your grief subside...
00:56:32 ...as I absorb it through my palm
00:56:38 I do, Reverend.
00:56:40 Feel your pain...
00:56:43 ...flowing freely...
00:56:47 ...out of your heart...
00:56:50 ...and into my hand.
00:56:53 I feel it.
00:56:56 Come, child.
00:56:59 Together we shall purge this grief
00:57:02 ...and release your true spirit
00:57:10 Claudia, it's me.
00:57:13 It's my husband.
00:57:16 - But he's the telegram.
00:57:19 - Clete doesn't know yet.
00:57:22 Claudia. Open the goddamn door!
00:57:25 Would you help console Clete
00:57:28 - Claudia!
00:57:34 - What the hell is going on here?
00:57:39 There's been a death in the family.
00:57:41 It's Frank. He's dead.
00:57:48 Kneel.
00:57:50 Bow your heads.
00:57:53 In this, your moment of need,
00:57:58 Yea, I will comfort you.
00:58:02 And bring you to a better understanding
00:58:07 ...and death...
00:58:10 ...and love.
00:58:13 Thank you, Reverend.
00:58:14 I loved that kid, Reverend.
00:58:17 Crazy loon that he was.
00:58:19 I know.
00:58:22 I know.
00:58:25 She was a treasure waiting to be found.
00:58:28 A dew-kissed flower
00:58:31 - Her breath was that of a wanton angel.
00:58:34 I shall walk in her breezes,
00:58:38 ...lie in the golden arches
00:58:41 Oh, brother Hogue, it grieves me bad
00:58:48 Your cup run dry, preacher.
00:58:50 Man's a poor sport
00:58:53 I don't pleasure them, brother Hogue.
00:58:56 ...with loving care. That's all she needs.
00:59:00 There's been a death in the family,
00:59:03 Her husband will give her all the help
00:59:07 Hildy? Who gives her all the help she
00:59:15 Hildy ain't mine.
00:59:17 Nobody owns Hildy. She's got her life
00:59:23 Right where I wanna be.
00:59:26 That's not exactly true, Cable.
00:59:29 You love that girl.
00:59:33 Hey, up and at them! You're no help
00:59:53 Brother, sometimes I question
00:59:57 You don't know nothing
00:59:59 I gave a week's
01:00:02 - That's a man's swap.
01:00:05 ...you're bedded on lizards and rocks?
01:00:10 Only thing I like about cities. City beds.
01:00:18 - My little Claudia springs to mind.
01:00:23 I ought to venture into Deaddog
01:00:26 - Burning with passion, preacher?
01:00:29 I ain't never had a passion.
01:00:31 What do you call that vengeance
01:00:34 That's the passion that'll nurture
01:00:41 Taggart and Bowen left me to die.
01:00:43 If my feet don't get cold
01:00:47 ...I aim to kill them.
01:00:50 - "Vengeance is mine," sayeth the Lord.
01:00:55 Just as long as he don't take too long
01:01:00 Get up there!
01:01:53 Did it ever occur to you, Cable...
01:01:57 ...how wise and bountiful God was...
01:02:01 ...to put breasts on a woman?
01:02:04 Just the right number in just
01:02:08 Well, where in the hell else would he
01:02:13 It's a thought.
01:02:17 Have you ever noticed
01:02:19 Of course I have. Some go all the way
01:02:25 The thigh, the soft abundance of the
01:02:38 Cable.
01:02:39 There appears to be...
01:02:43 ...a small hole in the sack.
01:03:14 - Howdy, Mr. Cushing.
01:03:16 - Thought I might pay you a visit.
01:03:20 You've done remarkable things
01:03:23 Thank you, Mr. Cushing.
01:03:26 - I see you've got neighbors.
01:03:29 Yeah, they'd like to be.
01:03:31 - Tell me, have they found anything?
01:03:35 And they've been digging for 13 days.
01:03:39 Any sign of water down there, fellas?
01:03:41 Looks like I bought the right
01:03:47 All right, Hogue, all right.
01:03:52 Don't fill up the holes.
01:03:55 - Let's get the hell out of here.
01:03:58 Never did like water anyway.
01:04:01 Good afternoon, Mr. Cushing.
01:04:04 Well, you got us, Hogue. We're beat.
01:04:07 Here's your contract.
01:04:11 I've already signed it.
01:04:15 Everything comes to he who waits.
01:04:18 Just sign your name right there.
01:04:24 That makes it official.
01:04:30 By the way, Hogue, I reckon this is
01:04:34 - Yeah? What's it gonna cost me?
01:04:51 Well, now.
01:04:55 If that don't beat all.
01:04:59 Gonna have to buy you a flagpole.
01:05:03 I'll make my own.
01:06:01 Hey there.
01:06:03 Hey there. More, please. More.
01:06:07 Would you mind if I had
01:06:10 It's really very tasty.
01:06:19 - Good heavens.
01:06:24 Makes them easier to wash.
01:06:28 Keep track.
01:06:30 - It's delicious.
01:06:34 - Good, fresh meat.
01:06:39 - Jack rabbit.
01:06:41 - Coq au vin? What's coq au vin?
01:06:46 Breast of quail, dove thighs,
01:06:49 Yeah. Rattlesnake, ground squirrel...
01:06:55 ...black gopher, horny toad,
01:07:00 ...and pack rats and prairie dogs
01:07:04 Of course, if you get ahold
01:07:08 You see, out here what you gotta do is,
01:07:14 Hey, wait a minute, there's dessert!
01:07:16 Matthew, stop eating that!
01:07:22 Matthew, I'll spank the living daylights
01:07:25 - All aboard!
01:07:27 Matthew? Now, I said hurry, Matthew.
01:07:30 All right, let's go, folks.
01:07:35 Cable, I'm off into Deaddog. The call
01:07:41 ...without endangering my soul.
01:07:44 - Careful your ass don't get shot.
01:07:48 It's a hell of a name to call it.
01:07:53 I reckon you're right.
01:07:59 - Josh, tell Hildy...
01:08:03 That's all you can do. You can't convince
01:08:07 We'll see about that, Cable. We'll see.
01:08:49 Hildy, I don't know why you're here,
01:08:53 I was asked to leave.
01:08:56 By the good people of the town.
01:08:58 Good people? Deaddog?
01:09:01 I never met any.
01:09:06 Except you.
01:09:12 Ain't got around to doing my dishes yet.
01:09:43 Sun makes them real pure, you see.
01:09:51 See Joshua?
01:09:54 Surely did.
01:10:02 Oh, he talks a lot, Cable...
01:10:06 ...and well too.
01:10:09 But, you know, I just ain't ready
01:10:23 You make yourself to home.
01:10:58 - Now?
01:11:23 You've been awful nice to me, Hogue.
01:11:27 Never bothered you none what I am?
01:11:29 Hell, no, it never bothered me.
01:11:32 I enjoyed it.
01:11:34 Well, what the hell are you?
01:11:38 Human being. Try the best you can.
01:11:41 - We all got our own ways of living.
01:11:45 Gets mighty Ionesome without it.
01:11:50 You know, Miss Hildy,
01:11:54 Well, sometimes, I wonder
01:11:58 - Why don't you live in town?
01:12:02 In town I'd be nothing.
01:12:06 Been that before.
01:12:08 Out here I, well...
01:12:15 ...got a good start.
01:12:18 - If you'd like to stay on awhile...
01:12:23 I can't stay.
01:12:28 San Francisco for me.
01:12:38 But not tonight.
01:12:43 Now, that is a picture.
01:12:46 You've seen it before.
01:12:50 Lady...
01:12:53 ...nobody's ever seen you before.
01:15:48 Blackie! Get on, boy!
01:15:51 Get up, boy!
01:15:53 Three hours early.
01:15:55 - What?
01:15:58 Well, go get me a robe.
01:16:02 It's too little. Go get my robe.
01:16:31 Welcome to Cable Springs.
01:16:35 Get up there!
01:16:39 Won't be here much longer.
01:16:42 If I don't go now,
01:16:47 Soon as they come.
01:16:51 What if they never come?
01:16:55 Whoa, whoa, boy.
01:17:01 It ain't worth it, Hogue.
01:17:05 You ought to just forget them.
01:17:08 Some things a man can't forget.
01:17:12 I got me two of them,
01:17:18 I've been waiting a long time, Hildy.
01:17:22 Well, you couldn't handle them last time.
01:17:26 Next time you'll probably
01:17:40 Even if you did get them, and you got
01:17:45 Don't you worry none about that.
01:17:50 But it's a big town, Hogue. A real city.
01:17:56 I don't care where you are, Hildy.
01:17:59 I said I'd find you
01:18:04 And quit changing the subject.
01:18:18 I think he's after me, Cable.
01:18:19 - He's gonna kill me.
01:18:22 - I'm serious.
01:18:27 She was not a sister in purity.
01:18:30 I found her weeping by the stable. Clete
01:18:34 - And?
01:18:37 Lovely days and nights.
01:18:40 ...confessed and begged for forgiveness.
01:18:43 He never forgave me.
01:18:47 - Good luck, preacher.
01:18:50 ...death rides closer. We're in trouble.
01:18:54 To err is human, brother,
01:19:08 Somebody's coming.
01:19:12 You better hide yourself.
01:19:13 - Don't go in the bedroom, Hildy's there.
01:19:16 That's the one. And you better behave,
01:19:27 Morning, Preacher Sloane.
01:19:30 Good morning, Hildy.
01:20:07 - Can I help you, mister?
01:20:10 - Which one?
01:20:13 Oh, that.
01:20:15 That's mine.
01:20:19 - What's its name?
01:20:24 Old Alexander.
01:20:26 I will protect you.
01:20:29 Joshua, what the hell
01:20:34 Funny name for a mare.
01:20:36 Well...
01:20:38 ...like the lady said to the sailor,
01:20:43 Yea, I will protect you as a shepherd
01:20:47 Yeah, well, I heard about
01:20:50 ...and you ain't sticking my feet
01:20:53 You listen to me.
01:20:56 I'll pay a hundred dollars in gold,
01:21:00 A hundred dollars?
01:21:03 - If I see him, you'll get him.
01:21:05 So long, fella.
01:21:07 - Don't forget.
01:21:10 You better not.
01:21:13 Preacher! I told you to stay
01:21:22 Thank you, Cable, for sanctuary.
01:21:27 - My dear, this smells delicious.
01:21:32 - It is good.
01:21:35 - That'll be 50 cents.
01:21:38 - Not fair? He should pay me double.
01:21:42 That's because you
01:21:49 Oh, brother, you really are
01:21:53 Don't push your luck, Josh.
01:22:06 - Wouldn't you like to say grace?
01:22:10 Very well, then, I'll say grace.
01:22:29 Dear Lord, we thank thee
01:22:32 ...and that we can share it as one.
01:22:35 We thank thee for thy goodness
01:22:38 Bless this food, O Lord...
01:22:46 And bless this house.
01:22:52 - Amen.
01:22:55 Amen.
01:23:00 Thank you, Hildy.
01:23:04 Hogue...
01:23:08 ...I'll be leaving tomorrow.
01:23:11 You knew I was only gonna stay
01:23:16 It's been over three weeks already.
01:23:19 - It can't be.
01:23:26 Guess I got used to your cooking and all.
01:23:33 It has been nice hearing you sing.
01:23:47 I admit, I thought a lot about staying.
01:23:56 You treated me like a real lady, Hogue.
01:24:01 You were good to me.
01:24:09 Not good enough?
01:24:15 Maybe too good, I don't know.
01:24:20 I just can't handle it.
01:24:28 Thank you very much for everything,
01:24:32 Excuse me.
01:24:39 Sort of lost my appetite.
01:24:43 I better find you
01:24:47 No need.
01:24:54 That bed in there will suit me
01:24:58 It's fine and dandy, but it ain't yours.
01:25:02 Well, isn't a guest
01:25:06 A paying guest.
01:25:07 Oh, stop it. Both of you
01:25:16 Outside, both of you.
01:26:02 - Good night, Cable.
01:27:19 Morning, brother Hogue.
01:27:22 Nope.
01:27:28 - Is Hildy up yet?
01:27:32 - How do you know?
01:27:47 Funny thing...
01:27:51 ...it doesn't matter how much
01:27:55 ...how many women you've been with.
01:27:59 Every once in awhile, one of them...
01:28:01 ...cuts right through.
01:28:04 Right straight into you.
01:28:14 What do you do about it?
01:28:19 I suppose maybe when you die
01:28:26 So long, Cable.
01:28:31 So long, Josh.
01:29:26 It's me!
01:29:28 Cable Hogue!
01:29:31 Right here!
01:29:36 Waiting.
01:29:44 Right here! Waiting!
01:30:11 Come on, boy. Get with it.
01:30:26 Come on, Blackie! Get in.
01:30:35 Get in there, boy.
01:30:42 Whoa, boy.
01:30:44 Don't feed them, we're just staying
01:30:48 - And we're running late.
01:31:05 Welcome to Cable Springs.
01:31:13 It's out in the back, ma'am.
01:31:16 I was wondering and worrying if you got
01:31:21 Howdy, Cable.
01:31:25 Hogue.
01:31:26 Come on and have a drink of the
01:31:30 I found it where it wasn't.
01:32:00 - How long you had this place?
01:32:04 Pretty big layout.
01:32:07 Well, I owe it all to you boys.
01:32:11 When I come out of there, I found this
01:32:20 Looks like you done real well.
01:32:24 Big, fat bankbook, huh, Cable?
01:32:26 Hogue in a bank?
01:32:30 ...you don't know him at all.
01:32:32 Here you go, Cable.
01:32:33 Another month paid in full.
01:32:36 No, no banks for me.
01:32:39 I'll just put this in the old sock,
01:32:44 - We're glad to hear you're doing so well.
01:32:48 ...I'd be a rich son of a bitch
01:32:52 All right, folks, let's go!
01:32:57 Well, I owe it all to you boys.
01:33:01 Now, you come back
01:33:04 - We will.
01:33:07 Now, you can count on it.
01:33:22 Blackie, get out of there. Come on, boy.
01:33:26 Get out of there.
01:33:29 - See you, Hogue.
01:33:43 Taggart and Bowen
01:33:48 Took all the money and left for the trees
01:34:01 Hey, Cable?
01:34:04 We come for that visit.
01:34:06 Cable!
01:34:10 I don't think he's here.
01:34:15 No, I don't think he is.
01:34:18 You check inside.
01:34:23 Come on, get up there.
01:34:30 We'll drink all your water, Cable.
01:34:33 We'll drink your well dry
01:34:37 Water goes good with a bottle of rye
01:35:58 Bowen. Bowen!
01:36:05 Just lookie what we got here.
01:36:22 Another one.
01:36:27 What do you think?
01:36:29 Well, we found the copper.
01:36:31 Gold and silver gotta be next.
01:36:35 Why in hell don't we just wait
01:36:38 - Let him do the digging?
01:36:47 - You heard that.
01:36:49 Come on out.
01:36:53 With your hands up, fellas.
01:36:56 Think it over.
01:36:59 I got lots of time.
01:37:02 What's he doing?
01:37:04 Well, I ain't gonna poke my head
01:37:09 Hogue?
01:37:11 You know you ain't got no guts.
01:37:14 Why, last time you had a gun on us
01:37:18 Yeah, now, of course that's a fact.
01:37:22 You said I was yellow.
01:37:26 Wanna try your luck again?
01:37:29 - He's bluffing.
01:37:31 Sun's kind of hot, ain't it, fellas?
01:37:33 Of course you could enjoy it
01:37:37 And that's what I got, plenty of water.
01:37:41 - Get over. Right up there.
01:37:45 I ain't running this time, fellas.
01:37:48 - Staying right here.
01:37:50 - Sooner or later you gotta come out.
01:37:57 One, two...
01:38:00 ...now!
01:38:10 - We got him.
01:38:14 Take a look.
01:38:17 - You're sure?
01:38:23 Give me a boost.
01:38:26 Easy and up we go.
01:38:29 Little higher, Taggart.
01:38:32 - Get up there.
01:38:36 Easy.
01:38:40 Put me down.
01:38:45 - We never touched him.
01:38:47 Well, why in the hell
01:38:56 Now what's he up to?
01:39:05 Hey, Taggart.
01:39:09 Oh, my God. Taggart, help me.
01:39:13 Hey. Hey!
01:39:16 - Hey, Taggart.
01:39:18 Hey! Taggart!
01:39:22 Taggart. Son of a bitch, Taggart.
01:39:30 God.
01:39:32 - Taggart, I'm leaving this place.
01:39:35 Hold up there, boys.
01:39:44 Now, you can start taking off your duds.
01:39:48 Get them off.
01:39:56 Keep your underwear, that's all.
01:40:07 And your boots, get them off.
01:40:10 Boots.
01:40:15 - Socks too.
01:40:22 Now...
01:40:25 ...you're gonna head back out
01:40:29 Because if I catch you on a road,
01:40:33 But there's no water.
01:40:36 And don't that sound familiar?
01:40:39 I ain't going.
01:41:06 You ain't got the guts, Hogue.
01:42:01 No. No, no.
01:42:03 No, Cable.
01:42:05 No.
01:42:11 Hey, what's that?
01:42:14 - What?
01:42:18 I seen one once before.
01:42:21 - Out here, on them roads?
01:42:30 Help! Help!
01:42:33 He's gonna kill me!
01:42:35 Kill me!
01:42:37 Stop!
01:42:38 Stop!
01:42:42 You damn, dumb, dumb bastards.
01:42:50 Horseless carriage.
01:43:02 Went right on by.
01:43:14 Well...
01:43:17 ...that's gonna be
01:44:00 I can't go it out there, Cable.
01:44:07 - That right?
01:44:09 All I did was...
01:44:17 I'm sorry, Cable.
01:44:22 You know how it was with Taggart.
01:44:27 Yeah, I know.
01:44:31 Bury him.
01:44:33 Bury him.
01:45:39 He's under.
01:45:42 Good.
01:45:45 What else would you like me to do?
01:46:05 What kind of a cockeyed
01:46:08 Ain't got no passengers,
01:46:11 Well, it don't matter really.
01:46:14 - Leaving?
01:46:17 It's a big world, fellas.
01:46:19 Next stop, San Francisco.
01:46:21 You serious?
01:46:23 So you're really going in
01:46:25 - Shoot, that ain't like you.
01:46:28 - You just watch me.
01:46:30 - You bet I mean it.
01:46:33 You just can't up and leave
01:46:36 Well, what are we gonna do
01:46:46 Gentlemen, I'd like you
01:46:51 ...Samuel D. Bowen.
01:46:57 Hey, get some clothes on.
01:46:59 Yes, sir.
01:47:01 Now, wait a minute.
01:47:03 - You can't leave some fool...
01:47:06 ...running around in his long johns
01:47:10 My God, what's that?
01:47:14 Ugly-Iooking damn thing, ain't it?
01:47:25 Kind of strange, moving all by itself.
01:47:30 I seen two before.
01:48:15 That there lady is Hildy.
01:48:19 Hi, Hogue.
01:48:21 The ladiest damn lady I ever saw.
01:48:53 I beg your pardon, sir.
01:48:55 - Might I borrow a tank of water?
01:49:00 No, no.
01:49:03 Mr. Cable Hogue don't
01:49:23 Hey, Cable?
01:49:32 Cable.
01:49:35 How much water you think
01:49:38 Three, maybe four horses' worth?
01:49:40 Well, how the hell would I know?
01:49:47 That'll be five horses' worth,
01:49:52 Pull it up on the rise
01:50:11 Get that damn thing out of here...
01:50:13 ...before my team takes a notion
01:50:19 Hildy, you do look fine.
01:50:23 I guess you found one of those rich
01:50:30 Well, let's just put it
01:50:33 I ain't hurting no more.
01:50:39 I was just headed for New Orleans.
01:50:45 I stopped by to check
01:50:51 I'm ready.
01:50:54 You'd leave your desert, Hogue?
01:50:57 Hell, I've already gone, honey.
01:51:06 I'll go get ready.
01:51:08 I'll be back in a minute.
01:51:13 We got nothing but time, Hogue...
01:51:17 ...nothing but time.
01:51:22 Hey, fellas, I'm headed
01:51:26 By God, I wish
01:51:39 Hey.
01:51:47 I seen two before.
01:51:52 I guess you need the water
01:51:56 - No. It burns gasoline.
01:52:01 Did you hear that, Cable?
01:52:05 Well, of course it does.
01:52:08 You know, maybe a fella could pick up
01:52:13 That gasoline.
01:52:17 Mister, that'll cost you 10 cents more.
01:52:23 Hey, Bowen.
01:52:27 - Hogue, watch out.
01:52:30 Hold it.
01:52:37 Oh, my God. Hogue?
01:52:45 Son of a bitch
01:52:50 - You hurt, Cable?
01:52:55 No, I'm not.
01:52:59 Hell, Hogue. It's a long ways
01:53:16 Well, thanks, fellas.
01:53:18 Much better out here.
01:53:37 Josh.
01:53:40 Well, well, brother Hogue.
01:53:42 What's all this?
01:53:44 What in the hell is that?
01:53:47 Just a means of transportation.
01:53:49 - Well, it sure is an ugly thing.
01:53:53 - Are you in trouble?
01:53:57 Well, it comes to us all.
01:54:00 Oh, shut up, Joshua. It ain't so.
01:54:04 You'll be up and around in no time.
01:54:06 - Cable?
01:54:09 I wanna thank you
01:54:12 And here I waited three years
01:54:16 I was gonna piss on your grave.
01:54:24 Boys, when I go just bury me where
01:54:30 Oh, hush, Cable.
01:54:33 Hildy. That man you was married to...
01:54:39 He died about a month back
01:54:45 But he died happy.
01:54:50 I'll just bet he did.
01:54:52 As a matter of fact, if you gents would
01:54:57 ...I'd kind of like to throw a little...
01:55:01 - Hang in there.
01:55:03 ...this is a time for deep and serious
01:55:10 Josh, it's about time
01:55:13 - Preach me a funeral sermon.
01:55:18 A good one. Don't make me out no
01:55:23 - You mean now?
01:55:25 It's not so much the dying
01:55:28 ...it's not knowing what they're
01:55:32 Now, all my life I've been
01:55:35 Now...
01:55:38 ...gotta do the other.
01:55:42 Well, come on, now,
01:55:45 I ain't got any time.
01:55:47 - Brethren!
01:55:51 We are gathered here...
01:55:56 ...in the sight of God and all his glory...
01:55:59 ...to lay to rest Cable Hogue.
01:56:05 Now, most funeral orations,
01:56:11 Compare him to the angels,
01:56:15 But, you know, Lord,
01:56:19 Hang in there, preacher.
01:56:21 Now, a man is made out of bad
01:56:24 Cable Hogue was born into this world,
01:56:29 He came stumbling out of the
01:56:33 Sounds right, is right.
01:56:34 Out of the barren wastes
01:56:39 - I don't know.
01:56:41 - Who said that?
01:56:44 But you could do worse, Lord...
01:56:47 ...than to take to your bosom
01:56:52 He wasn't really a good man,
01:56:57 But, Lord, he was a man.
01:57:00 Amen to that.
01:57:05 He charged too much...
01:57:09 ...he was as stingy as they come.
01:57:11 Yes, he might have cheated,
01:57:16 Rich or poor,
01:57:20 When Cable Hogue died...
01:57:22 ...there wasn't an animal
01:57:27 There wasn't a star
01:57:31 There wasn't a man he was afraid of.
01:57:40 Now the sand he fought and loved
01:57:45 Now he has gone into
01:57:49 ...of the souls that pass
01:57:54 In some ways he was
01:57:57 ...and right or wrong,
01:58:02 But if you feel he is not...
01:58:04 ...you should know that Hogue
01:58:10 And I'm sure hell will
01:58:17 He never went to church.
01:58:22 He didn't need to.
01:58:24 The whole desert was his cathedral.
01:58:27 Hold up!
01:58:29 I'm coming in tonight.
01:58:32 Hogue loved the desert...
01:58:34 ...Ioved it deeper than he'd ever say.
01:58:37 He built his empire...
01:58:40 ...but was man enough to give it up
01:58:57 Lord, as the day draws toward evening,
01:59:02 We say adieu to our friend.
01:59:08 Take him, Lord.
01:59:15 But knowing Cable,
01:59:21 Amen.
