In the Emmy Award-winning miniseries Lonesome Dove, the characters of Woodrow Call (Tommy Lee Jones) and Augustus McCrae (Robert Duvall) meet for the last time as Gus dies and Woodrow accepts his old friend's final requests.
"You don't get the point, Woodrow," Augustus said. "I've walked the earth in my pride all these years. If that's lost, then let the rest be lost with it. There's certain things my vanity won't abide." "That's all it is, too," Call said bitterly. "Your goddamn vanity." He had expected to find Gus wounded, but not to find him dying. The sight affected him so much that he felt weak, of a sudden.
--Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove" novel
Gus's death scene wasn't even rehearsed. Bobby and Tommy Lee knew what it would be. The banter between them was wonderful. One man is dying and the other one knows it.

Lonesome Dove is a 1985 Western novel by American writer Larry McMurtry. It is the first published book of the Lonesome Dove series and the third installment in the series chronologically. It was a bestseller and won the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. In 1989, it was adapted as a TV miniseries starring Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall, which won both critical and popular acclaim. McMurtry went on to write a sequel, Streets of Laredo (1993), and two prequels, Dead Man's Walk (1995) and Comanche Moon (1997), all of which were also adapted as TV series. This six-hour miniseries, based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Larry McMurtry, revitalized both the miniseries and Western genres, both of which had been considered dead for several years. Lonesome Dove earned 18 Emmy nominations and inspired a pair of miniseries sequels as well as two attempts at an ongoing television series.

The Best I’ve ever seen in my 71 yrs of life, every time I see the scene when Gus passes away i get tears in my eyes! It may only be a movie but it’s one hell of a movie!
68 and feel the very same.
Happy holidays to both of you, 45yrs old here and I also cherish this movie, these actors and Larry's books.@@righteyeartistry156
Fifty and couldn't agree more.
52, I hear ya !!!
46
I have never seen a film whos characters absolutely nailed their description in the book come anywhere close to this
An absolute masterclass in filmmaking
This is the only movie that makes me cry every time I watch it
Lonesome Dove was and is a classic unmatched.....and that's saying a lot. "By God Woodrow....it's been quite a party ain't it?"
The lonesome dove mini series is the single best western ever made its fitting that it closed the era of westerns nothing has even remotely came close to lonesome dove and likely never will
This Georgia boy agrees.
As a grown man I still tear up every time I watch Gus die. Two friends who have been through it all saying what needs to be said
Yes Gus dying was a hard thing to watch.
I've never had to say goodbye to my lifelong friends of 50 years- but its coming soon i guess
@davidwallace6031 I am near 83 ( luckily very fit ) I have lostv5 good friends in last 10 years who were all way younger than me .This is the thing most people don't think of ,as you get older ( as in my case in my 80s ) I am losing friends too fast .
I wish I had friends that would ride for me like this.
@timanderson944 life can be a bitch .A good friend of mine moved to Canada .Played guitar like me .must be 10 years back he got the dreaded big C. He knew he would not be here long and we had many whatapp talks .He told me a week before he went he was sending me something to remember him by ,and told me he loved me.
His wife organised the sending ,but would not tell me what was coming .About 2 weeks later I got a delivery from a special post deliv guy.When I saw what he was handed me I instantly recognised the shape of a hard guitar case.
He had sent me his electric £1000 sunset red guitar .
Well I am not ashamed to admit it I was totally choked up.He was gone a few weeks later ,but I can never sell that guitar. It cost him around £300 to send it all the way from Vancouver.
If you have ever had a friend like that you are lucky in life.
Robert Duval and Tommy Lee Jones - a truly inspired pairing - beyond brilliant
Hall of Fame scene with two best friends saying goodbye. Love that Gus said "Slow, but sure took you long enough to get here Woodrow." Gus knew Woodrow would find him.
This entire thing, from the book, to the TV, is the most incredibly beautiful depiction of Life that I have ever encountered.
The best role Duvall ever played, and that is saying something. None of the sequels ever measured up without his persona, and Ive seen them all.
Watched this for the first time a week ago. They sure don’t make em like this no more I reckon.
This part was beautiful. Masterful work. Dern near Perfection
This scene broke my heart and always will. 💔
The best Western ever made- nothing comes close
When Call sits back and puts his hand up to his eyes, it spoke more than any words could. Amazing scene.
it's at the end of a man's life, that he sees the most clearly. A Master Class in acting.
I was about 14- 45 years ago and i cried- didn't want gus to die
Still get tearful- but can relate to gus's philosophy
Melts my heart seeing this after all we went through together.
I can't believe how old this is. Time is so fast. I thought it was the 90s. This was a heartbreaking scene. I had no idea . Thanks for posting
Thanks again. I Always appreciate your insight.
I think 1989???
By far one of the most heartbreaking scenes in cinematic history.
Just saw the clip you posted today Oct 4 2023. What an excellent video. Brought tears.
Gonna repost it. I saw a typo
Tonight
When you hear the old saying “ caught lightning in a bottle” this is what they meant. This scene makes even the greatest of tragedies pale in comparison. 2 masters doing what they do best.
One the greatest friendship ever ❤what man will lay down his life😢 for his friend
our front gate has a faded bronze sign says "the tear drop horse pens uva uvam vivendo varium fit we don't rent pigs" our middle gate has a replica of the orignal sign and our field gate has the dialog between them talking about the sign.
This is really an awesome tribute to them. ❤
Some of the best acting I've ever seen.
From 5:00 to 13:00 is arguably the best scene in all of Lonesome Dove. Best Western I've ever seen.
One great movie all-time classic
As a 60 year old, there are only 2 scenes in movies, that I can tear down "On Demand" to. This scene, (And I love how he tips the educated Piano Player 1,000$ in today's money), and, in "Man on Fire", when Denzel sacrifices his life for the young girl kidnapped. ❤
One hell of a movie! One of the best Westerns of all times! A true love story of two men!
gets me every time
DITTO
It has been my life's journey to find a friend like that and I have only found one Christ
Then you've succeeded.
I was so lucky. I found 4 friends like that .I have lost 2 and have 2 left .I am a fair bit older than them at 82.
Yes sir.
Kind of like John Wayne in the Cowboys, everytime i watch both movies im wishing Wil Andersen and Agustus Mcrae will live!
you know i saw cowboys as a kid on tv literally once and it never aired again
so i wanted to see it again last year so searched the bowels of hell looking for it (the internet actually) so i rented it
from google and literally two days later i found it on the fawesome app. for free theres a bunch of john wayne movies floating around the internet free movie sites and yt.
I lost a friend because of pride, on my last deployment.
As a kid watching this series it felt like I was watching Grampa die. It hurt so bad.
The best film ever made- every emotion covered
I love this movie.....
Always chokes me up.
I do not weep for the sins of Man, I weep for the glory of men that have had the strength to endure what's been put on our plates as men by the God that did create us..
If memory serves me correct, Woodrow never made it back to Montana.
Nope. He was back in Loneome Dove, actually, and stayed in the south. The ranch up north broke up shortly after, and he went on to become a man hunter, which is like a bounty hunter only with the law on his side. Pea Eye came back south too, and settled in Kansas? I think? Call would take Pea Eye with him on these pursuits. Read 'Streets of Laredo' by Larry McMurty. I won't post any other spoilers :)
probly the only time that man cried
what are lifetime friends for! they just got to Montana, now Woodrow has to drag his best friend BACK TO Texas by horse ! 1500 mile on horseback ! Damn !
Dangerous business writing to 2 women
Excellent ....
Apart of my life
👍👍👍 📺
I could sort of relate to rather dying than having my legs sawed off. Even in poor health, I've never been the type to go to the doctor. Rather let my body fight. I don't know how accurate it is that an arrow shot would cause a life risking infection though. I've never heard of anything like that. Even during the Roman empire and the Medieval period, arrow wounds that didn't cause death were treated fairly successfully without the need of removing limbs.
The arrow wasn’t removed in time, that was the problem.
