01:54You might as well stop skulking around back there, Fallon.
02:04There's plenty of coffee here for all of us.
02:18Should we all put our guns away?
02:19Larry, I've known you've been following me since the first day.
02:25Then you had plenty of time to think about it.
02:27You know what we want.
02:30Sure.
02:31That's why I've been leading you away from the claim.
02:34We've been making one big circle.
02:39Here we are.
02:40Your gun take us to that claim.
02:42Am I?
02:44You've got three guns on me.
02:46But this is a double-barreled shotgun.
02:48And before I hit the ground, it'll get all three of you.
02:52You see, I've got a big advantage.
02:56If you killed me, what would you have?
02:59Nothing.
03:00We'll argue that point later.
03:03Right now you put that gun down.
03:05And fast.
03:06I don't think so.
03:07You're gonna get on your horses and ride off.
03:09You might be able to kill all three of us with that scattergun you got there.
03:16But before you fire that second barrel, you'd have at least three bullets in you.
03:20I don't think you want to die.
03:23Nobody wants to die.
03:24But you're not giving me any choice.
03:27Sure we are, Sam.
03:28All you have to do is to drop that shotgun.
03:30And you're going to.
03:31Watch it now, Wes.
03:34Watch it shut up.
03:36We don't want to kill you, Harris.
03:38We don't want the whole mine, either.
03:40We just want you to cut us in for a piece.
03:43You're gonna need some help anyway.
03:45It'll be different if that mine belonged to you, but it don't.
03:48It belongs to Indians.
03:50So none of us have got any ride up here.
03:51But I found it.
03:53And I'm gonna keep it.
03:55I don't need any help.
03:57I'm gonna count to three.
04:00If you haven't dropped that gun, I'm gonna drop you.
04:04One.
04:07I'm not bluffing.
04:08We'll know in a couple of seconds.
04:14Two.
04:21You didn't have to kill him, Wes.
04:28He would have killed me.
04:30Ain't that right, Paul?
04:44That leaves you, Madsen.
04:46I haven't ever been to the mine.
04:49Well, your first partner, he certainly must have told you where it was.
04:52He was taking me there for the first time.
04:54He didn't tell me nothing.
04:55Oh, that's too bad.
04:57You've just seen enough to hang us all.
05:00We might forget that if we had a good enough reason.
05:02Wait.
05:03I swear I don't know where the mine is.
05:06But I know something just as good.
05:07It'll get you there.
05:08What's that?
05:10At the pack saddle station.
05:12Someone's coming in on the stage five days from now.
05:14Someone who knows as much as Sam Harris.
05:17But you need me there.
05:19Who's coming in?
05:19I'm not going to tell you anymore.
05:22I'll wind up the way Harris did.
05:24He's stalling, Pa.
05:25I'll tell you anything you want to know when the stage comes in.
05:28But not before then.
05:30I can get it out of him now, Pa.
05:32No, another dead man ain't going to get it first.
05:35You got something to trade?
05:37All right, we'll trade.
05:38But if you're bluffing, you're going to wish you got it just as quick as your partner did.
05:42You give me a chance.
05:44You won't be sorry.
05:46We'll see.
05:47Get your horse.
05:48You won't be sorry.
06:18I'll do it.
06:25Rib.
06:26Yeah?
06:27When I go back inside, you wait half a minute or so, then come in after me and say the stage
06:32is coming.
06:34But what are you going to do, Pa?
06:35You find out when you get inside.
06:38I'll do like I say.
06:40I'll make it sound right.
06:41Got a lot of food here
07:04if you fellas feel hungry
07:05No thanks
07:06Stage is coming, Pa
07:21That's part of the dust
07:23up on top of Pine Hill
07:24They're early today
07:25I'd better be getting
07:27them air horses ready
07:28The stage is practically here
07:39You tell us now
07:40I said I'd tell you
07:42when I got here
07:43That could be too late, mister
07:44Once it's in this place
07:45we'll be crawling
07:46with passengers
07:47you could go back
07:47on the deal
07:48and start yelling
07:48for help
07:49What's to keep me alive
07:51after I've told you
07:52what you want to know?
07:54Well, we're not killers
07:54You've got a short memory
07:56Harris would still be alive
07:58if he hadn't tried
07:59to use that shotgun
08:00You said we'd need you
08:01If that's so
08:02what you're so worried about?
08:03What are we haggling for?
08:05You tell us, mister
08:06and you tell us now
08:07You sit down, Wes
08:08Now look at this thing logically
08:10You don't really think
08:11that we'd take a chance
08:12on killing you
08:13with the stage
08:13just a few minutes out, do you?
08:15You've got a lot better sense
08:16than that
08:17All right
08:20Harris wrote to his wife
08:22in Boston
08:23and told her
08:24to meet him here
08:25He sent her a map
08:27of the claim
08:27in case anything
08:28happened to him
08:29She'll be on the stage
08:32Does she know you?
08:35Yes
08:35You're a liar
08:37Now you get out of here
08:39before that stage shows up
08:40Shouldn't we keep him here
08:42till we find out
08:42he's telling the truth?
08:43He told the truth
08:44Now get going
08:45You lousy butcher
09:00If you weren't my brother
09:01I'd shoot you right
09:02where you stand
09:02You mean you thought
09:04we were going to let him go?
09:05You can't get easier
09:06Imagine you could have
09:08stopped that stage
09:08before it got here
09:09and before you knew it
09:10this place could have
09:10been full of lawmen
09:11Now let's get him on a horse
09:13in the Dumpman Thorn Canyon
09:14Get him aboard
09:25Hey
09:43Station man's outside
10:00Something I can do for you?
10:01Nope
10:02Not a thing
10:02Just wondering
10:03You seemed to be
10:04in a mighty big hurry
10:05to get here
10:05I was
10:06Thanks for your interest
10:07anyway
10:08Morning
10:11Got some grub there
10:14for the passengers
10:15that's coming in
10:16You can dig in
10:17if you got a mind to
10:18Thanks
10:19Didn't get your name
10:21It's Maverick
10:22Hey, you must be
10:23waiting for the stage
10:24same as the others
10:25Oh, is that so?
10:26But they ain't much
10:27for conversation
10:28They thought you
10:29was the stage
10:30Sorry to disappoint them
10:31I don't get much
10:33company to talk to
10:34outside of a few
10:35skin trappers
10:35or someone heading
10:36for the Sioux country
10:37Ain't nothing drops
10:39in here
10:39except the agency
10:40stage
10:41or a few
10:42shade-minded
10:43sidewinders
10:43They make good
10:45eating
10:46nothing
10:56There we go
10:58Bye
10:59Bye
11:00Bye
11:01THE END
11:31THE END
12:01THE END
12:03THE END
12:07THAT AIN'T NO WAY TO TREAT THEM ANIMALS. THEY GOTTA GO BACK ON THE EASTERN RUN AS SOON AS THAT OTHER STAGE GETS IN.
12:11YEAH, BUT COMING IN I SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE SUE TRACKS. MAYBE A RENEGATE BAND, SO I GOT OUT OF THERE FAST.
12:17THERE AIN'T NO INDIANS BETWEEN HERE AND THE BLACK HILLS. AND IF THERE WAS, THAT THUMB WOULD START ACHING. WITH SOME FOLKS IT'S WEATHER. BUT WITH ME, IT'S INDIANS. AND THAT AIN'T NEVER BEEN WRONG YET.
12:27OH, YOU'RE JUST GETTING OLD, SAMMONS. IT'S Rheumatism THAT MAKES IT ACHE, NOT ENGINE.
12:33NOT ENGINE.
12:43MR. HARRIS?
12:47YES?
12:48I'M MR. MATSON, SAM'S PARTNER. HE'S A STAYING UP AT THE MINE AND I'M SUPPOSED TO TAKE YOU UP THERE.
12:53OH, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT SAM WROTE IN HIS LETTER.
12:56WELL, YOU SEE, YOU COULDN'T LEAVE THE MINE ALONE. IT'S IN SIOU COUNTRY. THE LAND BELONGS TO THE INDIANS, WHICH MEANS THE MINE AIN'T LEGAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
13:04NOW THAT KIND OF SITUATION'S JUST MADE TO ORDER FOR CLAIM JUMPERS.
13:08I SEE.
13:09NOW AS SOON AS YOU'RE READY, I'LL TAKE YOU THERE.
13:12BUT HOW CAN YOU? SAM WROTE THAT ONLY HE KNEW WHERE THE MINE WAS.
13:16WELL, THE FACT IS, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE ME WHERE THE MAP HE SENT YOU.
13:22WELL, IF YOU DON'T MIND, MR. MATSON, I THINK I'LL WAIT A WHILE.
13:26JUST IN CASE SAM CHANGED HIS MIND.
13:29WELL, THAT AIN'T LIKELY, BUT SUIT YOURSELF.
13:32NOW JUST LET ME KNOW WHENEVER YOU'RE IN THE MOOD TO GO, HUH?
13:35I WILL.
13:36THANK YOU, MA'AM.
13:38DON'T KNOW WHEN A MAUTION OF FOOD TESTED SO GOOD.
13:41IT'S JUST DELICIOUS. JUST LIKE OUR SUTTERN FRIED CHICKEN.
13:44IT'S RATTLESNAKE MEAT, MA'AM.
13:47RATTLE?
13:48OH.
13:49OH.
13:50AH.
13:51THAT'S JUST THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT SOUTHERN FRID CHICKEN.
13:56chicken. To each a zine, I was in the restaurant business and you kind of
14:02pleased them all.
14:09That fella has a familiar look.
14:14Be your friend asleep? That's right. Looks like a customer used to come into my
14:21place in Dodge City. The man was spare doftable ribs. Spare ribs.
14:27He don't like to be waked up and he's never been to Dodge City.
14:30My mistake. All right, folks, we're ready to rumble.
14:44Lateral!
14:51Come on.
15:13Mrs. Harris? My name is Mapper. I'm looking after this lady and I don't think your husband and
15:14Mrs. Harris, my name is Mapper.
15:17I'm looking after this lady,
15:19and I don't think her husband would want strangely talking to her.
15:22I don't think Sam Harris cares one way or the other right now.
15:25What do you mean?
15:27Well, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but your husband's dead.
15:30I buried him two days ago.
15:31You lie.
15:33I ran across Sam four days ago.
15:35The man had shot him and left him for dead.
15:37I tried to get the bullet out, but I did what I could for him.
15:41I hope you see what he's after, Mrs. Harris.
15:43Your husband's claim.
15:45You're a little late.
15:47Sam took me to the claim before he died.
15:49He asked me to come here and explain things.
15:51If you're telling the truth, why'd you wait too long to talk?
15:54I just figured I'd let you play out your hand first.
15:57Well, Mrs. Harris,
16:00you certainly ain't gonna take a stranger's word against Sam's partner, are you?
16:04Why take anyone's word?
16:06The man over there with his hat over his face.
16:10My guess is he's Mattson.
16:13And I don't think he's asleep.
16:15I think we'd better leave, ma'am.
16:31You're not going anywhere, either one of you.
16:33If you look hard enough, mister, you'll see there's two guns pointing right at her from underneath this table.
16:38You put that gun down right now, or she gets shot.
16:41Put it on the bar.
16:43What's going on here?
16:56Where's the hardware, Pop?
16:57You loco...
16:58Where is it?
16:59It's underneath the bar.
17:00Let's get it.
17:01I don't want inconvenience you on your whiskers, but we got business to transact.
17:15Now, if you just go over and sit by that water cooler there, you won't get hurt.
17:19Now, drag Mattson's body over behind the bar just in case somebody comes in.
17:24Shooting your husband wasn't our idea, ma'am.
17:30He forced it.
17:31Trying to use his shotgun.
17:32Meaning he was trying to keep what was his.
17:35You're gonna talk yourself right into a box, mister.
17:37Now, mine didn't blunt your husband anyway.
17:39It was on Indian land.
17:40From a practical standpoint, the gold is just there.
17:43I'm waiting for anybody that wants it.
17:46And we want it.
17:48I'll take that map, Mrs. Harris.
17:51I don't have it.
17:52Mrs. Harris.
17:54I'll strip every stitch off of you to get that map.
17:59It's on the stage.
18:01When you told me I was to take you to the mine, I didn't trust you.
18:04I decided then to leave my luggage on the stage.
18:07Rip!
18:08Wrap that stage and don't come back here without that luggage.
18:14Rip ain't got much stomach for that kind of job.
18:16There's always a chance you might scare off.
18:18You should have said me, Pa.
18:19I'd get it.
18:20Well, you just shot the driver to get it and we got enough worry as it is.
18:25I figured that maybe you could save us a lot of trouble.
18:28And you got plenty of that.
18:30Now, a man ain't leaving a million dollars worth of pay dirt
18:33without making up a little map to get him back to it.
18:36You're gonna have to read my mind to find it.
18:38Cause that's where it is.
18:39Every inch of it.
18:40Right there.
18:41We'll see about that.
18:42Take off your coat.
18:46How'd you find out about Harris's claim?
18:48Well, everybody know'd it.
18:50He took a chunk of that ore down to be assayed at Twin Bluffs.
18:54It ran 90%.
18:56When he turned down a hundred thousand dollars for the mine,
18:58it went all over town.
19:00Your boots.
19:02You weren't very smart.
19:06Harris knew you were trailing him.
19:08He led you away from a strike.
19:09We knew that.
19:10But Harris is dead.
19:12And I'm alive.
19:13Now you figure out who's smart.
19:15All right, your socks.
19:21You're wasting your time.
19:22I got plenty of that.
19:24I sure hope there's no such map on that stage, Mr. Harris.
19:28Right now, they're just keeping me around for insurance.
19:31If that map shows up,
19:34it'll just be another case of them having to kill.
19:37Because they were forced into it.
19:40If he does come back with a map, they won't need me either.
19:43They won't need any of us.
19:45You just stopped me from feeling sorry for myself.
19:47Or I'd get them all.
19:49Oh, no, no!
20:19Oh, my God.
20:49Was she lying?
21:07We'll never know.
21:08What happened?
21:09It was awful, Pa.
21:10Just awful.
21:11What happened, boy?
21:13There wasn't nothing left of that stage.
21:15Just a heap of burning wood and charred bodies.
21:18Well, why in the thunder would anyone...
21:20It was Indians, Pa.
21:21And they don't need reasons.
21:22What did happen?
21:23On the other side of Beaver Creek.
21:25Well, it ain't likely they'll be heading this way, then.
21:28The best pickings are between nine Twin Bluffs.
21:30Could be they're heading for your ranch.
21:32They got a spread?
21:33Over a thousand head just east of Twin Bluffs.
21:37Most folks say they had other brands on them first.
21:40A thousand head?
21:41Well, now, why would anyone with a spread that big want to kill a man over a mine?
21:47Doesn't seem to me like you need it.
21:50Well, why don't you answer him, Pa?
21:52That's a question I've been wanting to ask more than once.
21:55You ask it some other time.
21:56Well, maybe I can answer it for you.
21:58Sure, we got a big spread.
22:00But there isn't anybody in this valley who doesn't think we're dirt.
22:03We've always wanted to buy that land up above Jackson's place.
22:05Why?
22:06So you could cut off his water?
22:07With a gold mine, you could do that.
22:09You could get back a Jackson and all the rest of them.
22:11I don't know what you're talking about.
22:13Neither does he, Pa.
22:15I'm still thinking about those cattle.
22:17With you and your boys away, we'll make a nice haul for those Indians.
22:21I hear anything they can't carry away, they're burnt.
22:24You'd like for me to forget you and go back, wouldn't you?
22:26That's what you'd like.
22:27Well, he just might be right, Pa.
22:29Look, whose side you are, little brother?
22:31If you had any sense, you'd know.
22:32If you had any backbone, I'd know.
22:34You didn't like this idea from the start.
22:36Now you want us to give up and run for the ranch.
22:37What's the matter with you?
22:38You didn't have to kill Harris or Mattson.
22:40Now stop it!
22:41Both of you.
22:42At least you got one boy who can think for himself.
22:45Just to let you and me get one thing straight.
22:47Nobody comes between me and my boys.
22:49No matter what happens, we stick together.
22:50It's nothing but trouble, Pa.
22:52I should give it to him right now.
22:53No!
22:55Your Pa wouldn't like that.
22:56It just happens that I'm the only one who knows where the mine is now.
23:00Which sort of makes me a privileged character.
23:01That's telling him, mister.
23:03The same privilege don't extend to you.
23:05That's where you're wrong.
23:06Goes for the three of us.
23:09How far is this, Mike?
23:10Two days, hard riding.
23:12Rip, get all the food in this place together.
23:14I didn't say I was taking you.
23:16Mister, you only got one thing to bargain with, and that's your life.
23:19Now if you don't take us there, you're going to lose the privilege of staying alive.
23:25What about them?
23:26They ain't your problem.
23:26I'm making them my problem.
23:30All right.
23:31You take us there, and we'll let you all go.
23:33Correction.
23:35You let them go, and I'll take you there.
23:37Don't do it, Pa.
23:38They'd have a posse after us as soon as they hit twin bluffs.
23:40You don't have to tell me that.
23:41You're all going.
23:43The odds against you ever seeing that mine have just doubled.
23:46Wes, see how I'd like a slug in that left arm just to lower them odds a little.
23:50Look at him.
24:00Look at him, Pa. He's enjoying it.
24:02Shut up, little brother.
24:13Close them out of the window.
24:20Keep them off our backs.
24:45Manote!
24:46Manote!
24:46Manote!
24:50How many out there?
24:59It could be all of us against them instead of just the three of you.
25:02I wouldn't give you a gun if I was looking down my throat.
25:05They are.
25:15Are these the same Indians that burn the stage?
25:18That'd be my guess.
25:19Ow!
25:20I don't get it, Pa.
25:29If they're a raiding party, they would have stolen the stock and burned the barn by now.
25:33That's what I was thinking.
25:34They're after something.
25:35Yeah, but what?
25:39No matter what happens, I want you to know I'm grateful for what you tried to do.
25:42Frankly, I thought that getting you out of line would be the easiest part.
25:50I thought you'd be all broken up about losing your husband.
25:52But you don't exactly act like a grief-stricken widow.
25:55If it's of any interest, if it's of any interest, I lost my husband four years ago, the shock has worn off.
26:02I lost him to... call it gold fever.
26:07He left us to come out here.
26:08We have a son, Timmy.
26:12He's in Boston with my mother.
26:19Sam was doing it for his son.
26:21He wanted to leave him something.
26:23He did.
26:25He left him without a father.
26:26Hey, Quentin?
26:43I don't know.
26:49No, they ain't.
26:50Send out Tarwin with yellow coat.
26:53We go away.
26:54He means him, Pa.
26:59Wes, keep your eye on that Indian.
27:05What do they want you for?
27:07You've been in the Black Hills.
27:08You ought to know the answer to that.
27:10I want your version.
27:12Did you ever know the suit will let a white man out of their backyard when they thought he found gold?
27:16And they thought you had, huh?
27:17I didn't ask them why they were shooting.
27:20Just kept dropping nuggets, hoping it'd slow them down.
27:22They kept right on coming.
27:24And that's why they're out there now.
27:26They want to make sure you don't take nobody back there.
27:28Well, that's just a piece of it.
27:30I had to kill two of them trying to fight my way out.
27:32They don't take kindly to that.
27:34No, they don't.
27:36They know where the mine is?
27:37I was two hours away before they spotted me.
27:40Then you knew all the time why they raided that coach.
27:43They was looking for you.
27:44That's a fair deduction.
27:45And you knew that sooner or later they'd get here.
27:49Nothing's ever certain.
27:50Except where you're concerned.
27:52Pa, they ain't gonna wait much longer.
27:54You can't send him out there.
27:55He won't.
27:56Right now he thinks more of that gold mine than he does his own skin.
28:00Now he's only chance of finding it.
28:01Don't you be too sure.
28:03I told you nothing was for certain.
28:06There are few things I'll put money on.
28:08Like a straight flush.
28:10Or a crooked mind.
28:12There's too many of them out there, Pa.
28:15We're going too far now to turn back.
28:21You can't have the white man!
28:24You will all die for a yellow coat.
28:29We can't hold out forever, Pa.
28:31Well, at eastbound stage, he's gonna be by here soon.
28:33We'll try breaking out then.
28:35Suppose the stage hightails it back to twin bluffs when they hear the shooting.
28:38And suppose they bring back a full posse.
28:40We'd get the same treatment those Indians get.
28:43Hey, Simmons.
28:44What time's another stage come by?
28:45Ote, ote!
28:46Ote, ote!
29:00Ote, ote!
29:01It's worse than an oven.
29:21Well, they got it just as hot out there.
29:29Pa, look.
29:31Give up, yellow coat.
29:37You get up.
29:38Ain't you going to give them a chance?
29:40We wouldn't be holed up in here like rats now if it wasn't for him.
29:43He's getting a better chance than he deserves.
29:45Hurry, Pa.
29:46They're getting ready.
29:52Hold it.
29:53Give us time to think it over.
29:54Leave him out.
30:10You can have him.
30:13Hold it up.
30:26Let's go.
30:56Let's go.
31:26They'll drag them all the way to the Black Hills.
31:38Yeah, and they ain't going to be coming back, neither.
31:40Sure figured it right, huh?
31:42Don't turn around.
31:43I could have killed Wes.
31:48You start shooting and I will.
31:51Get the guns.
31:54You was hiding the gun here all the time.
31:56No, no.
31:56I always keep one up there for just such occasion.
31:58Now get the others.
31:59You should have dumped him out instead of Mattson.
32:01There's a lot of things I ought to have done, but right now he's in charge of the doing.
32:05Right.
32:06Now suppose you sit down.
32:17Can't we leave now?
32:19As soon as I transact a little business.
32:21I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to sit down.
32:24I don't understand.
32:26I said sit down.
32:27What's going on here?
32:28You two.
32:34Rip, go over to the end of the bar.
32:36Now look behind that post there.
32:52Unroll it.
32:58It's a gold nugget.
33:00Now look at the paper.
33:03That's a map, Potts.
33:04The one to the mine.
33:06You were right about one thing.
33:08I made sure I'd find my way back.
33:11I hid that behind there when I found out you three were here.
33:13Well, I'll be a three-toed sand lizard.
33:16You sure can't tell a grass snake from a sidewine until you get bit.
33:21So you got the map.
33:22What's that got to do with us?
33:24Since you're so interested in that mine, I'm going to sell it to you.
33:29It isn't yours to sell.
33:30You're about half right.
33:32Belongs to those Indians that were just here.
33:33I can't give you a deed, Fallon.
33:35Well, but I can't give you a map.
33:37You double-dealing hyene.
33:41Interested, Fallon?
33:42What's the deal?
33:43Fifteen thousand cash.
33:44Don't do it, Potts.
33:45The mine's worth a million.
33:46He's up to something.
33:47There's one thing about a crook.
33:49He thinks everyone else is dishonest.
33:51His question still needs an answer.
33:52Why only fifteen thousand?
33:53There isn't enough money to get me back in that Indian country.
33:57Not after what happened to me.
33:59What makes you think the same thing wouldn't happen to me?
34:02That's your problem.
34:03But you've got three times the chance that I have.
34:06If you run out of backbone, you can always call them in for your spread.
34:08But you've already killed two men to get what you want.
34:13I don't think a few Indians are going to stop you.
34:15You good things figured right down O'Hare, aren't you?
34:18You interested or not?
34:19Why'd I get fifteen thousand dollars out here?
34:22Not out here.
34:23At your ranch.
34:24It takes operating money to run a spread.
34:27Your money would be there.
34:29You can let one of your boys ride for it.
34:31I'm the only one that knows the combination that is safe.
34:35You can write out the combination.
34:38Or don't you trust your boys?
34:40All right.
34:41Give me a pencil and something to write on.
34:43Get it for him, Simmons.
34:47You're worse than they are.
34:48I'm sorry to disappoint you, ma'am.
34:50You let my husband believe you were his friend.
34:52He trusted you.
34:53He even showed you the mine.
34:55I didn't ask him to.
35:01You're going to take all day?
35:03Yeah, now make it fast.
35:10Now write out the combination.
35:23You better tell him to forget that first note.
35:25Because if he doesn't, you'll be dead.
35:28You'll be an orphan.
35:31Do like he says, Wes.
35:32I mean it.
35:33Just bring back the money.
35:43I'll take that map.
35:53You can have it back if he brings the cash.
35:56He will.
35:57Now, Simmons, suppose you tell me when the stage for the East is due.
36:01Oh, so now you're squirming.
36:03The shoe's on the other foot.
36:05As passenger agent here, you're supposed to give out that information.
36:09So you can make sure how much time you got to get your dirty money.
36:12Where money's concerned, it can be dirty, or dusty, or soggy.
36:16As long as it's money.
36:18Now, when's that stage due?
36:19I don't know.
36:20When I leave here, I have the choice of taking you with me, or letting you loose, or leaving you here with them.
36:29You know too much on Fallon for him to be as generous.
36:32You'd better tell him.
36:33It'll be here in two hours.
36:39Well, let's all just sit and relax.
36:41Since nobody's going anywhere.
36:49Well, if everything works right, you'll be on your way to Dodge City by morning.
36:52Thanks for your consideration.
36:54Well, since your son's in Boston, I figured you'd want to go there.
36:59Does it matter to you?
37:01Well, I promised your husband you'd be all right.
37:04It's too bad he died without knowing what kind of a man you really are.
37:08As for the mine, well, when opportunity scratches my back, I make the most of it.
37:13No matter who gets hurt.
37:14You can't lose something you never had.
37:16Sam died for it. It belongs to his son.
37:18He died for something that didn't belong to anyone.
37:21Then why did you say Sam left it to our son?
37:23It was Sam's way of thinking.
37:25When a man is dying, you let him think the way that makes that going easier.
37:30You have a way of twisting words, making black, white, and white, black.
37:34Next, you'll be asking me to thank you for stealing the mine.
37:37I might have that.
37:39It's a two-hour ride to the ranch.
37:41We both got something to lose if Wes don't make it back here before that stage gets in.
37:45He will.
37:47There's some things that even you can't guarantee.
37:50The Indians took care of that for us.
37:51Now, what would the burning of one stage, Coach, have to do with the other?
37:56Well, now, suppose you were driving the eastbound stage, and you ran on to what was left of the other one.
38:01Well, I'd hightail it back to Twin Bluffs for some help.
38:05Well, I see what you mean.
38:07That's going to give Wes more than enough time to get back here.
38:11Hey, you don't leave much to imagination, do you?
38:13If I did, I wouldn't be alive today.
38:15It'd be nice having a fellow like you on my side.
38:18I'm going to make you a deal.
38:20I've got one.
38:21Fifteen thousand against a million?
38:23Oh, I don't blame you for not wanting to go back up in them hills all by yourself,
38:27but if you was with me and the boys and a couple of hands from the ranch,
38:30you'd feel different about it.
38:32And you'd be a partner.
38:33Fifty-fifty.
38:35And I wouldn't get my fifteen thousand?
38:37No, you'd get a half a million.
38:39Or a bullet in the back.
38:41You've got too much imagination.
38:42Maverick, it's too bad you're a crook.
38:45I was just beginning to like you.
38:47Well, that's the way I feel about Rip over there.
38:49If he didn't have him for a father and a brother who shoots people for fun,
38:53it might turn out all right.
38:55The way things are going, he doesn't have much of a chance to straighten out.
38:58Pot calling the candle black.
38:59Maybe.
39:00But I've seen men who have been where he's headed.
39:03You tried splitting us up once before and it didn't work.
39:07Ain't that right, Rip?
39:10Now we're here on business, so spare us the sermon.
39:13Consider it finished.
39:15What kind of a hypocrite are you?
39:17A man doesn't have to be a saint to give advice.
39:20I just don't understand you at all.
39:22Things that don't make sense sometimes add up when you look back at them.
39:26I hope I live to have that opportunity.
39:28I'm counting on it.
39:29Didn't figure on him being this late, did you?
39:48Just might be the stagecoach might get here first.
39:51Yep.
39:52Just might be.
39:54Why don't you shut up?
39:56Well, since you ain't got no gun, I'll just ignore that.
40:00You know, if he's right, though, Pa, we'll be trapped in here.
40:02Well, you could leave now.
40:05If and he'd let you.
40:07Yeah, maybe we could.
40:08We're staying right here.
40:08That money must mean an awful lot to you.
40:19Is that my boy?
40:20Yeah, it's him.
40:32Now, how could I be that careless?
40:33Count it.
40:39It's there.
40:40Every lousy penny up.
40:43Your son doesn't sound convinced.
40:45You want to back out?
40:46Are you serious?
40:48You can have your money back.
40:50But you'll never see the mines.
40:52We made a deal.
40:54It's all there.
40:56All right.
40:58Here's your map.
41:04There.
41:05Right where I figured it.
41:07Next time, play your hunches.
41:08It's cheaper.
41:09Go, boy.
41:10Sit down.
41:12We've made a deal.
41:13You leave after we do.
41:15Simmons, get the horses.
41:16Take them all.
41:17What did I tell you, Pa?
41:18It's a stacked deal.
41:19We'll turn them loose about five miles out.
41:21Who knows?
41:21They may find their way back.
41:22I don't like it, Pa.
41:23If you did, it'd worry me.
41:26How can you let them go?
41:27They're murderers.
41:28They're murderers.
41:33The horses are ready.
41:54Shall we leave, Mrs. Harris?
41:55Pa!
42:25You killed him.
42:41No, Pa.
42:44I never killed him or nobody.
42:50Get your hands off me.
42:55What ever happened to you?
43:01It was always the three of us against everybody else.
43:04No, Pa.
43:08It was always you and him against everybody else.
43:17I'm sorry, Pa.
43:22Looks like you've got the mind all to yourself.
43:25Are you still going to let him have it?
43:28He paid for it.
43:29Cost him a lot more than he thought.
43:43We're here.
43:45It's the eastbound state.
43:46And they've got a posse with him.
44:00Thanks for all your help.
44:01They'll stand trial back at Twin Bluffs.
44:03From what I saw, Rip deserves a break.
44:06I'd be dead now if he hadn't warned me.
44:08I'll show him every consideration.
44:10Just a minute, Sheriff.
44:12I've been waiting for this lady to tell you, but since she ain't, I will.
44:16That two-faced lobo sold a map that rightfully is hers.
44:20Sold it to Fallon for $15,000.
44:24That's a serious charge.
44:26You want to accuse this man?
44:28No.
44:31I'm afraid that whatever he did, he had a right to do.
44:34That's the last time I'll ever try to help a woman.
44:39What about this map you sold?
44:41I made a map of a mine in the Black Hills.
44:44It belongs to Fallon now, and I don't think you can take it away from him.
44:48A mine in the Black Hills don't belong to anyone.
44:50I didn't sell him a mine.
44:52I sold him a map.
44:54No law's been broken.
44:55There's another thing, Sheriff.
44:57He was going to give them back their horses so they could get away.
45:00The horses belong to them.
45:02But they wouldn't have gotten far.
45:04I figured you'd send out a posse from Twin Bluffs.
45:07Can't arrest him for something he didn't get around to doing.
45:09Next thing, you'll be giving him a medal.
45:13I hope you have a nice trip east, Ms. Harris.
45:25Simmons was right about one thing.
45:46The money's yours.
45:50I couldn't have drawn the map if your husband hadn't shown me the mine.
45:53Well, if you intended for me to have it, why did you wait till now to tell me?
45:59If I hadn't, Fallon wouldn't have gone through with the deal.
46:03There's so much I don't understand.
46:05I...
46:06Time to roll them!
46:07But the map's worth a million dollars.
46:11And Fallon still has it.
46:13He bought it.
46:14But I wouldn't worry about that.
46:17Your husband didn't know too much about mining.
46:19He struck a pocket of free gold.
46:21It wasn't worth much more than the nuggets he had to save.
46:24He realized it before he died.
46:27Then you sold Fallon a worthless piece of paper for $15,000.
46:31He wanted the claim so bad that he killed your husband for it.
46:37I figured he should have it.
46:40I don't know what to say.
46:42I...
46:43Everything's ready, ma'am.
46:50I'm almost sorry I'm going back.
46:53So am I.
46:54Let her go!
47:17Ha!
47:18Ha!
47:24Sure is amazing how an hombre can steal a woman blind and make her love it.
47:41Yeah, keep this as a souvenir.
47:42Might bring you luck.
47:45Nothing more.
47:46It'll remind you of...
47:47Quite a woman.
47:54Do you?
48:16Hmm?
48:17What?
48:19Well...
