Get in here!

Get on up here!

It's about time.

Come on, open it up. Open up.

Come on! What they waiting for in there?

A special invite?

Come on, open it up or I'll get me a crowbar.

Must be a pretty fancy surprise to cause all this commotion.

- What is it? - I ain't telling you nothing

till we get it out to the ranch.

I told you it was a surprise.

Come on, open up there!

Open up!

All right, open it up...

Morning, Jim. Morning.

Mighty strange cargo we got aboard.

I was extra special careful at all the stops.

You'd better be, you got a mighty desperate man out here.

Come on, where is it? Where is it?

- Where's what? - My special order

from King's Department Store in San Francisco.

And don't tell me you ain't got it.

Okay, Joe, I guess we'll get pop's identification.

Swing it out here.

Come on.

- What do you got in here, Joe? - Come on.

Put that clod digger on there one more time

and you'll find out.

"Fray-gile." Can't you read?

If they wanted it stomped,

the sign would have said "stomp."

Just put your John Henry on there

or I'll "fray-gile" it right back to San Francisco.

Oh, Jim.

Pappy said to hand this to you personally.

It looks important.

Thank you. It is.

Get off this train and stay off it,

you chiseling little tramp.

Next time I catch you trying to steal a ride

in this train without a ticket,

I won't wait till we get to the next stop.

I'll throw you to the snakes.

Hold it, boy.

If anything's destroyed, they'll make it good.

That kid would have killed me.

You're right, he would have.

You might do well to remember that

the next time you throw somebody off of a train in that fashion.

Name was Davey Hewitt,

and he's got a way with a gun.

Davey Hewitt?

Two kegs of shoe nails. Anything else, Ben?

- That's about it, Charley. - All right.

Sign on your door, said "boy wanted."

Look, I can work in the back where nobody'd see me.

Sorry, I should have taken the sign down.

The Johnson kid too the job this morning.

The Johnson kid?

Charley, you talking about little Jamie?

It makes no never mind.

The job's filled.

Wait a minute, son.

Wait a minute.

Do you know anything about blacksmithing?

I know all there is to know about guns and horses.

Oh, I don't need any gun savvy,

but I could use a little horse sense.

I mean yours, not mine.

How'd you like to work for me at the livery barn?

I'm the blacksmith here in Gloribee.

My name is Ben Hobbs.

How about $2 a week and keep.

Just to start.

All right.

Davey Hewitt.

Davey, you've just made yourself a deal.

Charley, finish up that list. I'm gonna put the boy to work.

Come on, Davey.

Jessamie, this is Davey Hewitt.

He's going to go to work for us.

Davey, this is my daughter, Jessamie.

How do you do, Davey?

- Ma'am. - You can get started right now.

Take the wagon down to the livery barn and unload it.

I'll be down a little later on.

Jessamie will show you where it is.

Oh, Davey, listen,

this is the best cook in this town.

You just wait till you eat some of her peach cobbler.

- Pa. - Well, it's true.

Run along. See you after a while.

Yes, sir.

I got it in a fight.

Stuck a knife in my shoulder too.

You want to see that scar?

I'm sorry.

- Whoa. - Hey, Floyd.

Looks like old Jessamie finally got herself a boyfriend.

Yeah, maybe her old man built a trap.

Well, now come on, Jessamie. Don't you be bashful.

You tell us how you did this.

Did you win him in a footrace?

Or maybe it was a tater sack race.

Yeah.

Don't you think you ought to get down?

Yes.

Oh, yes, Jessamie, you do just what your boyfriend says.

Mind you, you step lightly.

Davey, would you please help me down?

Yeah, Davey, help her down.

Well, Jessamie, looks like you lost yourself another boyfriend.

Hey!

Get up.

Hey, we didn't mean anything, mister.

- It was only a joke. - What's the matter with you?

- Don't you know we're kidding? - Get out of here!

They ain't going to bug you again.

Come on in, Sugar.

Sure sorry I have to leave like this,

but you know how much Wells Fargo depends on me.

You just don't know how painful it is leaving you,

just for one little minute, even...

Mighty sweet of you, Beau.

Well, I was expecting someone else.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

Brought you a letter.

"This will confirm special shipment,

"Red Lake office to be stored, Gloribee Bank overnight

"pending status court following morning.

"Sealed pouches arriving by train approximately midnight...

Saturday."

Jim, you said I could have three days.

I was going to San Francisco.

You're going to have to make it some other time.

You know how much Wells Fargo depends on you.

Oh, Jim...

would you mind waiting downstairs?

Why?

I'm expecting someone.

Well, so am I.

Oh, excuse me.

I must have the wrong room.

I was looking for Jim Hardie.

No, no, no. This is the right room.

It's just the timing's wrong.

- Hello, Jim. - How are you, Mr. Japes.

Meet Beau McCloud.

- How do you do, sir? - How do you do?

Yeah, Beau was expecting somebody else.

Well, according to your message,

you're expecting something too.

We are. Close the door, Beau.

I'll ask you to keep this strictly between us.

Saturday night, we've got a great deal of money

coming in here that's going to have to stay overnight.

We were wondering if we could get you to come down

and open up your bank so we could store it in your vault.

Always glad to be of service to Wells Fargo, Jim.

Your money will be secure.

I'm sure there won't be any trouble.

I don't think there will either.

However, we've taken every precaution we know how.

Notified the sheriffs in three different cities.

It'll stop anyone tries to get away in those three directions.

And the only other direction they can go is to the south,

and I think the desert will take care of them there.

Man would have to be pretty foolish to cross that desert.

Yeah, either foolish or part lizard.

Looks like you've taken care of everything.

If there's anything at all that I can do for either one of you,

let me know.

- Thank you, sir. - Nice to have met you.

And you.

Now, would you mind doing something for me?

Oh, well, not at all. Not at all.

Good day, Beau.

Well, Jim, howdy. How are you?

Good, Ben. You?

Fine. Everything's fine.

We got a little problem here.

The shoe on his left front foot's a little loose.

Well, we just have to take it off and reset it.

It's going to take a little while.

Listen, while you're here,

Jessamie's over there in the back room.

Why don't you stick your nose in and say hello, will you, Jim?

- Well, be glad to. - Fine.

I haven't had a good cup of coffee all day long.

Good. Come on, boy. Let's get that shoe on.

Take it easy, bo. We've had our differences.

Why you shadow me, Hardie?

I'm not.

But as long as I'm being accused of it,

suppose you tell me what you're doing here.

Just what the warden told me to do.

Working my way up again.

From the bottom of the stall.

He told you right, boy.

You're still young.

You can build a good life for yourself.

Save your breath.

Judge gave me the same lecture.

Well, he also gave you two years

when he could have given you 20.

Might be well if you remembered that.

The only thing I'm going to remember

is coming out of that prison in a sack cloth suit

with a saw blade scar.

Now, you got your conviction, Hardie.

Now, we're quits.

Not quite.

You're working for friends of mine, hear?

That makes it personal.

Now, do they know about your record?

Yes, Mr. Hardie, we do.

Davey told us everything, and it makes no difference.

Then I'm glad, for Davey's sake.

I'm not asking any favors from you.

Well, I'm not doing you any favors.

I agree with Jessamie that every man is entitled

to a second chance if he really wants one.

He wants one, Mr. Hardie.

Then he's not going to have any trouble with me

or with Wells Fargo.

I came by to have a cup of coffee with you, Jessamie.

It looks like I run out of time now.

Pa and me are always glad to see you anytime, Mr. Hardie.

Thank you.

We'll see you again soon.

Boy, you're working with nice people here.

See if a little of that niceness can't rub off on you.

I never told you nothing about me.

Why'd you lie to him?

It wasn't exactly a lie, Davey.

You would have told us sometime.

Anyway, it don't make no difference.

About prison, I mean.

Well, that ain't your pa talking.

He gonna turn on me like the rest of them

soon as he finds out.

No, Davey.

People are really kind

if you'll just give them a chance.

Oh, sure.

Yeah, the world is just chock-full of loving kindness.

Isn't it?

When I got home from prison...

they was carrying my ma out of the house in a pine box.

And there was this old man in a black suit.

And he came up to me and he shook my hand.

And he told me how sorry he was.

And when I got back from the cemetery,

that same old man was there again,

waiting for me.

This time with the sheriff.

And he served me papers.

They took everything out of that house for back rent.

All I got to keep was an old suitcase.

And a picture of my ma.

That was kind of them, wasn't it?

Waiting till my ma was dead before they took her bed.

I'm sorry, Davey.

I guess you got a right to hurt more than most,

what with prison and everything.

I wish there was something I could do.

You got troubles of your own. How can you...

How can you pay any heed to mine?

Because it's nice sharing things with you, Davey.

Even trouble.

You run this place?

I sure do. What can I do for you gents?

Wash them down good. They need it.

You going to stay for the day or stay by the week?

I got some special weekly rates.

- We'll pay by the day. - Okay.

Dutch, pay him.

Davey! Davey!

That'll be a dollar apiece for the night.

Come on, son. Come on, get the horses.

He's brand-new. He's a little slow.

He looks real smart.

He should learn fast.

Hiya, Jim.

Hello, Jeb.

Come on, give me a hand, will you?

Come on, now.

Easy, now. Easy.

Come on, look out!

It's "fray-gile," I told you.

What on earth's name you got in here?

A petrified tree?

No, no.

Never you mind now.

Just let her down easy.

You got it.

You order something through Wells Fargo,

and you get enough hot air to bring it in by balloon.

Now stand back while I spring it open.

Well, Jim, what do you think of it?

Well, heh.

Well, I think it's just wonderful.

What is it?

What is it? Ain't you never seen a bathtub?

Uh...

What is it?

Well...

looks a little like a birdbath.

A birdbath?

That's supposed to be a bathtub.

I ordered a genuine $20 porcelain bathtub,

and what do they send me?

A birdbath big enough to drown a flock of geese.

I'll sue them, so help me!

Ah, I wouldn't do that, Jeb.

That's big enough for both of us

to take a bath in at the same time.

Well, here comes Ovie.

Ovie! Don't say anything about...

Whoa, boy. Whoa.

Well, how are you, Ovie?

Morning, Jim.

Whew! I've been out collecting donations

for the raffle dance Saturday night.

You planning on coming?

Well, I'm going to try to make it,

but I got a lot of work to do, Ovie.

By the looks of that buggy,

you're sure going to have a lot of raffling to do.

Yup, 100% donations so far.

Thought I'd finish up here.

Well, now.

What's that thing?

Something I picked up.

I don't suppose busying yourself with such important things

gives you time to come to the dance Saturday night?

Oh, that caterwauling and jostling around the floor,

that ruins my digestion.

Well, I don't know how it could.

You spend all your time elbowing up to the punch bowl anyway.

Well, I ain't going.

You ain't, huh?

Well, in that case,

I'm sure you'll be happy to make a donation.

Like those six jars of tomato preserves

you got hid under your sink.

Hey! You stay out of my...

Come on, now. Come on.

Hey, well, come on inside here.

Just a minute. Just a minute.

Well, well. My, my.

Well, if that isn't the prettiest thing

I ever did see.

Say, you know, I'm going to have to tell everybody at the dance

about how you're setting out a fancy birdbath for the crows.

Make right lively conversation, Jeb.

Oh, all right.

Take the preserves.

Is that all?

Well...

I guess I wouldn't mind going to that dance too much either.

- Unless you got other plans. - I don't.

I accept. And thank you.

And don't forget to bring your tomato preserves.

Jim, when you and Beau coming over to break them horses

Jeb swindled me into taking, huh?

- Swindled? - We'll be over

the first thing in the morning, Ovie.

What do you mean, swindled?

You can't put nothing over on me.

Them sneaky eyes give you away.

Sneaky eyes.

That sneaky woman... sneaky eyes...

Davey.

Davey, I washed and ironed this shirt for you.

Mm!

Hey, that's sure smooth.

I thought you might want it

for that dance on Saturday night.

I ain't going to no dance.

Ain't no better way to meet people and make friends, Davey.

Don't need friends.

I bet you dance real well.

I reckon I could get along without that too.

Like me.

- I didn't say that, Jessamie. - You were thinking it.

- Jessamie, I was... - That's all right, Davey.

Watching people dance is almost as much fun as doing it.

That's why I hope Pa will take me.

It's really all right.

I'll bet if you wanted to...

you could dance.

I tried it once.

Pa had to pick me up off the floor.

Oh, no, I don't mean none of that

hippity-hoppity reeling stuff.

I mean something smooth and close.

Like a slow waltz.

I never had nobody to try it with.

Boy, it's sure a shame to let a pretty shirt like that

go to waste.

Mm-hmm.

Jessamie...

I think I'm going to take you to that dance.

Yup.

You'll have to ask my pa.

All right. I'll ask your pa.

Hello, Davey.

Long time no see.

What are you doing here, Steger?

We were just going to ask you the same question.

Still working from behind, huh, Dutch?

Oh, relax, boy.

Seeing as we're in town for the same reason,

I thought we'd throw in together.

What are you talking about?

Don't play games with me, Davey.

I paid a lot of money to find out about that $50,000 shipment

coming into town.

Whatever your plan is, forget it.

We've got a better one, heh.

Oh, don't worry. We'll let you throw in with us.

For old time's sake, huh?

Steger, I don't care about any money coming into town.

Now, why don't you just get out?

Well, maybe he just cares about something else.

Like that little girl.

You look at her wrong, Dutch...

and I'll kill you.

Oh, sure you will, Davey.

But maybe not before Dutch gets to the girl first.

So why not listen to reason, huh?

Yeah, little Davey Hewitt.

The man who walks through walls.

Now, we can't let a talent like that go to waste,

- can we, Dutch? - No, guess not.

Why don't you make it plain?

All right.

You don't even have to become involved in the holdup, kid.

All you have to do is help us walk through a couple of walls.

What if I say no?

Now, you'd better think about that little girl, Davey.

She's lucky.

Dutch will just kill her.

Now, do you want to talk business?

Now, the train comes in tomorrow at midnight.

You got to be ready by then. Now, here's my plan.

Hold still. Just a minute.

We're not going unless they ask us to go.

Well, what's wrong with us asking them?

Shh! Act like a lady.

Unless you don't know how.

I'll tell you, that ain't no barber chair.

If you don't sit right,

you're going to be chinning the sky

- when he kicks the lid off. - Just be quiet.

I know how to break a horse.

All right.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

That crockhead's turned me inside out already.

You don't look any better, Jeb.

You better listen to me.

I'm telling you how to ride.

Come on!

Come on, rake him! Rake him!

Rake him. Hold his head up! Hold his head up!

Oh, goodness sake.

What you doing down there?

Taking a sun break. What does it look like?

If you think breaking a leg's

going to keep you from taking me to that dance,

you've got another think coming.

Come on, Beau. Ride him, Beau.

- Stick with him. - Keep his head up!

Come on! Hold on to him!

- Come on. Come on. - Come on. Come on.

- Come on, rake it into him. - Come on, Beau.

- Break it in there. - Stick with him.

Keep his head up!

- Stick with him! - Ride him, Beau! Come on!

Keep his head up! Come on!

Come on, hang on, Beau!

Darn!

Beau!

Is he hurt?

Are you all right, Beau?

Yeah, I guess so.

Was it fun?

Yes, I guess.

Do you feel better now?

Yes.

Will you take me to the dance tonight?

Yes, I...

Oh, you're wonderful, Beau! Oh!

Hey, dance? Wait a minute.

No, I'm not going to take you to any dance.

I can't hear you, I can't hear a word you're saying.

Wait just a minute, I'm not taking you anywhere.

I can't hear you. I can't hear you.

I can't hear you.

Wasp planning on asking my old pal May Gee

to go to the dance with me,

but I suppose she's already engaged for the evening.

However, if you're not busy, Tina...

Oh!

Well, guess that makes it unanimous.

Come on, back to the house, girls.

It's awful late. There's nobody left in town.

Everybody's at the dance except you and me.

And Davey?

Well, he... he must have gone.

He said he'd come just as soon as he finished his business.

It's been a couple of hours ago. I...

I think you'd better go with me.

Lord knows you've been hurt plenty in the past,

and one more hurt is...

Not Davey.

He's different.

All right, I...

I'm proud of you to trust him,

especially knowing what he's been.

I know what he is.

All right. I'll wait with you.

Go away, Pa.

But if I go away and he doesn't come,

you won't have anybody to help you...

I don't want any help!

I'm full-grown, Pa.

I've got to see this thing through alone.

Yeah.

I suppose you do.

Well...

I'll see you and Davey at the dance, then.

I guess I'm late.

You're here, Davey.

That's all that matters.

Jessamie...

I got something I want you to do for me.

And I want you to trust me tonight,

no matter what.

Are you finished with your business?

I think we're late for the dance.

Davey, you didn't answer me.

If you trust me, do I have to?

We're late for the dance.

Are you going to do something?

Well, I guess I could kick the table over

and stomp on it.

Oh, Jeb, you know darn well what I mean.

And don't tell me your feet hurt.

It ain't my feet I spent time on today,

and you know it.

Are you just going to stand in one spot and petrify?

You ain't going to petrify from punch poison.

Come on, you old fuddy. Dance with me.

Come on, put up, doggone you.

You just don't hop on that floor like a jackrabbit.

You got to glide into it.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

One...

Jebediah, when are you gonna stop doing your sums

so we can get on with our dancing?

- One, two, three. - All right.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

You sitting this one out, Jessamie?

Jessamie...

may I have this dance?

I can't, Davey.

Don't make me shame you.

Come on.

Come on.

I guess that's it.

Oh, do you have to go?

We're not going to be gone long.

You two keep an eye on each other till we get back

to take you home.

Home? But the night's still young.

And so are you, young lady.

Tina, you see she minds her manners.

Yes, Mother.

Come along, Mary Gee.

- And what about you? - I'm staying put

until the punch bowl's empty.

Besides, I'm just warming up at the game.

Oh, you know, you don't dance as ornery as you look.

Well. All right.

But I'm warning you, you step on my feet one more time,

I'm going to have you jailed for assault and battery.

We'll dance some more just as soon as I get back, you hear?

Where are you going, Davey?

Just some business I have to finish.

Davey, please don't go.

I'll be using your pa's horse.

If anything happens,

you can take the cost out of my war bag

under my bunk.

Davey.

Please come back.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Go ahead and shoot, Hardie,

and I'll blow this banker's head off.

Put your rifle down.

Put it on the desk.

All right, inside.

Steger!

What are you trying to do?

I'm giving you a better chance

than you'd ever give Jessamie.

If I let you live.

Now, are you both going to draw?

Or do I drop you right where you are?

Now hold it, Davey.

You want some of this money?

I want you dead.

Davey!

Hold it! Hold it!

Davey!

Davey!

What happened?

Davey!

Doctor! Get a doctor!

Davey.

Davey.

Oh, Davey, please.

I don't want a...

I don't want a doctor.

Just get me to the bank vault.

They got Hardie locked up in there.

We've got to find someone who knows the combination.

There's no need, Jessamie.

I opened it before.

Whoa. Whoa.

Are you all right? Oh, thank God.

Thank God.

Go ahead. Go ahead and cry.

Cry.

I did. I cried back at the dance.

You know, Jessamie,

Jessamie, I never been much of a Bible man, honey,

but, boy, your mother sure knew the book.

And there was a quote she used to tell me.

"By his deeds, ye shall know him."

And that's what it said. And that's what it said.

You're a woman now. You're a full-grown woman.

And there's something wrong in there.

And you've got to go find out what it is.

Only way to fight for something that you really want is to...

is to stand on your own two feet.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

If I'd have told you, would you have believed me?

We would have locked them up. You know that.

For how long?

As soon as they come out, they'd be gunning for Jessamie.

That's why I went along with them as long as I did.

I figure I could catch them after they took the money.

And then you could lock them up for good.

You did a fine job.

They got off with what money the bank had in the vault.

They got off with the $50,000 we were looking after.

- We couldn't lay a hand on them. - They're not going anywhere.

We've got a posse covering every trail out of town.

- We should be hearing from them. - That's where you're wrong.

They're taking to the desert on a dead run.

Fifty miles.

I'm trying to tell you,

they got the whole thing figured out.

Canteens full of water, cash along the way.

Flag markers to guide them.

You'll never catch them.

Yes, we will catch them.

Beau, you go get Waterloo and Jubilee

- and two extra horses. - Right.

One thing they hadn't figured on.

They thought we'd be in that vault

until the bank opened in the morning.

That'd give them an eight-hour head start.

They're going to run their horses right into the ground

between now and daybreak, trying to put as much distance

as possible between us and them.

But we'll catch them, all right.

We'll get them before they get a mile into that desert.

You keep an eye on him.

Steger!

My horse is limping bad, Steger.

We got to slow down. Come up lame if we don't.

We got to make time.

What's the difference? We got an eight-hour start.

Yeah. If we killed Davey, we have.

And if we didn't,

when we hit that desert we'll be safe.

They won't be able to follow us from there on out.

He's out of our range.

Just one of them.

Let's get them.

No.

They've just about used their horses up.

We'll get plenty of time to catch them

before they hit the desert.

Let's get the halters on these horses

and put the saddles over on the other one.

Looks like their horse has finally played out on them.

Looks like they split up here and went on foot.

- I wonder what they're up to. - I don't know.

Don't need both of us getting shot at right now.

I'll go on up this trail here. You take the high ground.

Maybe you can keep me covered on the other side.

All right.

Steger!

Steger?

Dutch!

Hold it.

Take it out.

Slow.

Now drop it over the canyon.

What about Davey, Jim?

You know he had nothing to do with this.

I think Davey's going to be all right.

I think right now you'd better go and pick up that other man,

secure the money bag and let's get on back to town.
