02:26I'm leaving right away, Paul.
02:27I pay a dollar a week for your education.
02:29I expect to receive full value.
02:31When you're late for school, I don't get that value.
02:33Yes, Paul.
02:35There's your pencil on the floor.
02:37Thanks, Paul.
02:39You'll pick it up.
02:40Oh.
02:41You know, if you'd learn to organize your things,
02:43you'd know where they were.
02:44Oh, thanks, Paul.
02:45And I won't forget to do my chores after school, I promise.
02:48And don't forget your books either, huh?
02:50Oh, yeah.
02:51Five times 10 is 50.
02:58And five times 20 is 100.
03:04Five times 30 is 150.
03:09Now, will you get to school?
03:10Michael.
03:20Michael.
03:21Sam Morley.
03:48It's been a long time, hasn't it, Lucas?
03:51Yeah, Sam, a long time.
03:56I heard they shot you down in Rio Hondo three years ago.
04:00Now, we rode enough cattle trails together for you to know better than that.
04:05Why'd you run out, Sam?
04:08I don't know.
04:10Well, maybe I thought I was just too good with a gun to waste my time punching bees, huh?
04:14Maybe.
04:16You always said you'd have a place like this some day.
04:19Marry a fine woman, have a son.
04:24I heard that when she died, you sold out and came out here with a boy alone.
04:29Uh-huh.
04:42Honest Lucas McCain, huh?
04:44That's right, Sam.
04:45How about you?
04:46Oh, they stopped looking for me years ago.
04:48And they think I'm dead, but I'm still worth $500.
04:58You better keep moving, Sam.
05:00Wait a minute, Lucas.
05:01You see, I came here for a reason.
05:03Reason?
05:04Yes, sir.
05:06I'm gonna give myself up.
05:07You're gonna give yourself up.
05:08I don't follow it, Sam.
05:09That's right.
05:10You see, is it odd if we go inside?
05:13Sure.
05:14Uh, you see, uh, I need the money.
05:29And you're the only man I can trust.
05:34What are you doing this for?
05:37For a woman I fell in love with.
05:41We were going to be married, and then she took sick.
05:45Said she wouldn't go through with the marriage.
05:48Not till she was well.
05:53So we, uh, took off for California.
05:59I thought maybe the climate out there...
06:01She know about your past, Sam?
06:04No.
06:09$300.
06:12$300 could probably save her life.
06:14She could get back to St. Louis then, where she could get medical care.
06:17Well, this is for $500.
06:20What about the other two?
06:21Well, you keep that for your trouble.
06:23There's just one thing, Lucas.
06:25I want her to have that money and be on that stage to St. Louis...
06:28before you turn me over to the marshal.
06:30Oh, no.
06:31Wait a minute, Sam.
06:32That way I'd have to raise the money first.
06:36I don't have that kind of cash.
06:37I'm sorry, Sam.
06:40All right.
06:42I'll raise it some other way.
06:43It's a strange thing, isn't it, Hal?
06:47You know, some men can never keep a promise to themselves.
06:52I was gonna do this the honest way.
06:54Hold it, Sam.
06:57What if I could raise the money?
07:01Well, you wouldn't have to worry, Lucas.
07:02I wouldn't run out on you.
07:05Why don't you come back to North Fork with me, where Beth is?
07:08I'll stay in your sights until the whole deal is completed.
07:15All right, Sam.
07:18I'll get ready.
07:21Six times 200 is 1,200.
07:26Mark!
07:28Dr. Burridge!
07:29Mark, would you be kind enough to do me a favor?
07:31There's a large bottle of white pills on the shelf right at the end of my desk.
07:35Would you be kind enough to bring them up?
07:37I'm in room 205, right at the head of the stairs.
07:40Yes, sir.
07:41Be careful.
07:42No dropping now, boy.
07:48I'm going to leave some instructions here for your daily use.
07:56The main thing is lots of rest.
08:02I want you to drink all the fresh milk you can get.
08:07This won't get you far if you're planning on running away.
08:20Well, I've been running all my life one way or another, Doc.
08:24I know.
08:25I didn't fool you, did I, Doc?
08:29But as they say, uh, soiled dove always looks gray.
08:34Not to Sam Morley, though.
08:37Well, excuse me, ma'am.
08:52Is Dr...
08:53Oh, here's your pills, Dr. Burridge.
08:55Thank you, Mark. Thank you kindly.
08:56There's something more I can do for you, sir?
09:02No. Well, that'll be all, Mark.
09:04Hadn't you better be getting on to school?
09:06Well, yes, sir.
09:08You're crying, ma'am.
09:11Something wrong?
09:12Something have to be wrong for a woman to cry?
09:20I don't know.
09:22Did you ever see your mother cry?
09:27No, ma'am.
09:29My mother's dead, but if something is wrong, I'd like to help you.
09:32I'd be most proud to ask if I should need you.
09:50School's waiting, Mark.
09:52Well, yes, sir.
09:54You're not very sick, are you, ma'am?
09:55No, no. I'll be all right.
10:02You see, so there's nothing to fear, Beth.
10:18Why, with Lucas's help, we're going to put you on that stage to St. Louis today.
10:22And she's going to be all right, isn't she, Doc?
10:24Yeah.
10:25You hear?
10:27You hear what Doc says?
10:28Mm-hmm.
10:30Sam never spoke about you until yesterday, Mr. McCain.
10:34I want you borrowing money, Sam.
10:36Now, we're not going to talk about that anymore, because it's done, isn't it, Lucas?
10:40It's done.
10:41He even offered me a job on his ranch to pay him back.
10:45He's laughing.
10:47You're not a farmer.
10:49I'm not going to be a farmer.
10:50A little line of sweat never hurt anybody, you know.
10:53Why, before you know it, you're going to be well, and I'm going to be waiting for you.
10:56If you people want me for anything, you know where you can find me.
11:00You coming, Lucas?
11:01Yeah.
11:03Lucas, I'll be in my room across the hall if you want me for anything.
11:07Fine.
11:11That's why I didn't want to marry you. I don't want to be a burden.
11:13No, you're no burden.
11:15Paying back McCain, that'll take a year out of your life.
11:19You dreamed about gold in California.
11:21If you're going to sweat, sweat for what you dream about.
11:23Honey.
11:24You worked for other men too long. You told me that a thousand times.
11:26But a year isn't going to make that much difference, is it?
11:32How sick is she, Doc?
11:34I'd say she's got maybe a month to live at most.
11:37I'd want Marley to know.
11:39That's too bad.
11:41You don't have any money to lend him, Lucas.
11:43No.
11:44What's going on?
11:46Between you and me, Doc, let's keep it this way till tonight, huh?
11:49Come on.
11:58Well, Lucas McCain.
12:01You're a long way from Oklahoma, Ferris.
12:04The man travels where his work takes him.
12:07What are you doing here?
12:09Seems to me I remember one other time I told you what I was looking for.
12:14You got in my way.
12:29Taken for granted that you put a lot of trust in me, how far could I influence you to take my word for something?
12:34Like what?
12:36Well, like if I was to tell you it was snowing outside and you looked out there and saw the sun shining.
12:42Try me.
12:44Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
12:47You ever see this before?
12:51Nope.
12:53I want you to wire the marshal in Santa Fe and tell him you've got that man in custody.
12:56That he was captured by me, Lucas McCain, this morning.
12:59Also, tell him to wire you the reward money right away.
13:02You might just as well have told me it's snowing outside.
13:08I suppose I'm not to ask any questions.
13:12No.
13:14Look, Mike, if anything goes wrong, I'm completely responsible.
13:16My ranch is worth more than $500.
13:18Morley will be in your hands one hour after that money gets here.
13:21I think we're both fools.
13:35Whoever saw it snow in July?
13:36I'm just asking if you've seen him come through here on the stage.
13:50Who?
13:52The man with the limp.
13:54He had a woman with him.
13:56Ain't you been listening to me?
13:57If I've seen him, I don't remember.
13:58If I remember, I wouldn't tell you.
14:00Does that answer your question?
14:08Want to send a wire, Mr. Trigger?
14:12As is.
14:15Who are you fooling?
14:17Where does Lucas McCain come in on this?
14:19You haven't got anybody in custody.
14:20I went by the jail ten minutes ago.
14:22That's right.
14:24You mean McCain is holding this man Morley?
14:27Mr. Trigger, will you send the wire as I wrote it?
14:29Yes, I wrote it.
14:59You ever run across a man named Ham Ferris?
15:02I haven't seen Ferris in five years.
15:04He's down in the street right now looking.
15:06As far as he knew, I was killed in Rio Hondo.
15:09He never forgets a face, that's his business.
15:10Maybe he saw you somewhere and remembered afterwards.
15:13Before you get any ideas,
15:15you stay in this hotel and keep out of his sight, you hear?
15:17Yeah.
15:21I should have the money for you in about an hour.
15:24Lucas.
15:26Listen.
15:27I don't know how to thank you.
15:28Don't thank me now.
15:30When I turn you over to the marshal.
15:48Small world, isn't it?
15:50I thought you'd be gone.
15:52I wonder how I had to take that.
15:54Kind of an old wanted poster I ran across.
15:59Fellow named Morley?
16:01Thought I recognized him one night in Goldfield.
16:05Then I looked this up and I was sure.
16:08He's somewhere in the territory.
16:10I think he's somewhere in this town.
16:13But you wouldn't know about that, would you?
16:15How would I know?
16:17Well, no, I didn't think you would.
16:19You don't go in for that sort of thing, do you?
16:22But maybe some of the folks around here seem to get off the stage.
16:26So I'll just sort of keep asking around.
16:29Yeah.
16:31Do that.
16:32Yes?
16:34It's me, ma'am.
16:36What do you want?
16:38School let out early.
16:39I thought I'd come by and see how you were...
16:40See how you were.
16:41You're leaving?
16:42I have to go away.
16:44If I get a rig at this table...
16:46How far is it?
16:48I have to go away.
16:49If I get a rig at this table...
16:50How far I have to go before I get a stage north?
16:51About 10 miles up to Deer Crossing.
16:52But you can't go alone, ma'am.
16:53I have to go away.
16:54If I get a rig at this table...
16:57How far do I have to go before I get a stage north?
16:59About 10 miles up to Deer Crossing.
17:01But you can't go alone, ma'am.
17:02I have to go away.
17:06If I get a rig at the stable,
17:09how far I have to go before I get a stage north?
17:12About ten miles up to Deer Crossing.
17:15But you can't go alone, ma'am.
17:24I said I'd be most proud to ask you to help.
17:28I need you.
17:32I want you to take it to Jor.
17:47Get it engraved. The instructions are in that note there.
17:50I want you to give it to a man, a Mr. Sam Morley.
17:53He's in the room across the hall.
17:55You understand?
17:56Yes, ma'am.
17:57And I want you to give him this letter, too.
18:00But not until after I'm gone.
18:02After I finish packing, I'll go out the back way to the stable.
18:06Well, don't you need me?
18:08Just for this.
18:09You just do this.
18:12And this is our secret until it's over.
18:17Yes, ma'am.
18:17I got an answer to my wire.
18:44Here's your money.
18:45Thanks, Micah.
18:47I sure hope you know what you're doing.
18:50One hour.
18:57Where'd you get that watch, Mark?
19:00I have...
19:00Come here, boy. Come here.
19:04What's wrong?
19:04Well, a lady asked me to keep a secret for her.
19:09She trusts me not to tell.
19:11What did she ask you to do, Mark?
19:13The lady in room 205.
19:15Well, how do you know?
19:17Now, never mind that.
19:18It's important you tell me, Mark.
19:19Well, she plans on leaving town without anyone knowing.
19:22Well, after she's gone, she wants me to deliver this watch I got engraved in this letter to Sam Morley.
19:27What I just told you is a secret, Paul.
19:29All right, Mark.
19:30Give it to me.
19:30I'll deliver it for you.
19:32But she asked me.
19:33Will you wait for me over at the table until I'm ready, you hear?
19:36Go on, boy.
19:36Come on.
19:37Go on, boy.
20:07Look, my son didn't want to tell me about you.
20:16I made him.
20:17I'm sorry.
20:20I know why you're trying to run away.
20:23I talked to the doc.
20:24I don't want Sam to know.
20:26What about that letter?
20:29It doesn't tell the truth if that's what you're asking, Mr. McCain.
20:33Except that I love him.
20:34That's the truth.
20:35And I wasn't going to take his money.
20:39You know, getting this money for you is a justification for Sam Morley's whole life.
20:46Don't rob him of giving it.
20:49Who are you, Mr. McCain?
20:53Trust me, huh?
20:54Like I'm trusting Sam to pay it back.
20:56His way.
20:56I'd like to ask you...
21:04Sam!
21:10The stage will be here in a few minutes.
21:13You better say goodbye.
21:14I'll be downstairs.
21:14You're giving me so much, Sam.
21:26I want you to have this.
21:29What?
21:31With all my love.
21:33You better say goodbye.
21:53I'll be right back.
21:57Now, you tell me what room Morley's in.
22:05Morley? We don't have a room.
22:09Head to the stairs.
22:20There he is.
22:24Get out of here already.
22:25Yes, sir.
22:27Where are you going?
22:31I'm taking Morley.
22:33You're a little late. He's mine.
22:35Yeah? If he's yours, then why haven't you got him?
22:38I have.
22:39Uh-uh. He hasn't been turned in yet.
22:42He's worth $500, and I'm getting it.
22:44Down those stairs, Ferris.
22:48You and I are going out back till that stage leaves.
22:50You and I are going out of the ranks.
23:04Why won't you give me a Kay?
23:05They're going out of there.
23:07There's and I'm getting it.
23:07There's...
23:08How many...
23:09You and I are going out of here.
23:10But it seems like it is not where you are.
23:12Now, you take care of yourself, hmm?
23:30Yeah.
23:33We'll just save up all the things we feel
23:35until I write to you to tell you I'm coming to you.
23:38All right.
23:39I'm not very good at writing you.
23:42You'll make it all up when you walk into that palace hotel, huh?
23:46Yeah.
23:46Yeah.
24:12Ready, Sam?
24:16Yeah.
24:22Let's go.
24:22Let's go.
24:30Why'd that lady change her mind about Mr. Morley and not run away?
24:35Can't you tell me, Paul?
24:37Maybe I'm a better son, so you'll understand.
24:42It's a long story.
24:43A little grown up to you, but I'll try my best.
24:45I'm a better son.
24:46Let's go.
24:47Let's go.
24:47Let's go.
24:47Let's go.
24:48THE END
