Shane ending / spoiler
Jack Wilson, one of the villians' gunsilngers, angers Frank Torrey (a sod-buster) into drawing by taunting him, and then kills him. Then, the villains come to Joe (Sr.) and tell him to meet Ryker to talk things over at the saloon. Joe naively accepts, but Shane hears from a traitor of the bad guys, who tells him that it's a set-up. Shane tries to warn Joe (Sr.), along with his wife, and eventually is forced to fight with Joe and knock him out cold. Marian forgives Shane, but Joey (Jr.) yells "I hate you!" and runs away. Marian then says a heart-felt good-bye to Shane, leaving the possibility that they're in love, and realizing she'll never see him again. As Shane rides off, Joey (Jr.) decides to forgive Shane, but Shane is already gone, so Joey followes him. At the saloon, Shane confronts Ryker and Wilson, and shoots them both (after talking). Shane starts to leave but Joey, who is watching from behind the door, sees Lewis trying to shoot Shane. He warns Shane, who turns around just intime. But, Lewis shoots once before Shane shoots, and Lewis dies. Shane goes out of the bar, and meets Joey, who apologizes and tries to convince Shane to stay. He also notices that Shane has been wounded ("Shane! You're hurt! It's bloody!"), but Shane shrugs it off and rides away. Joey yells "Shane! Shane, come back!", but Shane pays no attention - he is dead, his horse still riding along the mountains.
