: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...
:42:00
...we had to tie 'em tail-to-tail
just to drag 'em down the mountain.
:42:03
Over a mile long it was,
that line of beaver pelts.
:42:06
Mr. Stuart, my father could take the truth
and stretch it about six ways.
:42:10
You sound just like him.
:42:13
I'll take it you meant that kindly.
:42:16
Well, I'd think twice
before I called you a liar.
:42:19
Tell me somethin', talkin' about liars:
:42:22
Why would a son of old Linus
get mixed up with a man like Mike King?
:42:27
I know what you mean.
:42:29
But Mike King isn't the railroad.
:42:32
I don't think he knows that.
:42:34
He's changin' the route back, is he?
:42:36
No.
:42:39
I know.
:42:40
But he'd do anything
to gain a day on the Central Pacific.
:42:43
But he's not a fool. He doesn't want a war.
:42:45
And neither do the Arapahoes.
:42:48
I think I could get them to agree
to this change in route if...
:42:51
...I could just sit down and talk with them
for a while.
:42:53
- How're you gonna get 'em to do it?
- That's just it.
:42:56
I need somebody that knows the language
and that they trust.
