This thing's useless.

So is this.

I guess I need a new canteen.

It's taking longer than I thought.

I'm almost out of lumber.

So you get more.

I am out of money.

Thought you started back out at the ranch.

It's only temporary.

All I've been able to find this whole month is our job.

Something will turn up.

I just want to give Ingrid a nice home.

You will?

As soon as you can.

A hundred dollars?

I'd expect any of us to buy in.

I'm trying to get the best player.

I am the best player.

Well, I've been advertising around the territory.

I'm looking for some competition this year.

Dr. Mike, let me help you. Thank you, Reverend.

Competition for what?

You ain't interested.

Well, how do you know?

Didn't you learn nothing yet?

High stakes, poker, and Kayla.

Bunch of stinking drunk men sitting around a table gambling, smoking,

dirty, and we'd like for you to come.

Interesting.

Oh, thank you.

Darn. Biggest I ever seen. Found him feeding on a dead bear. Got himself so

heavy he couldn't get away.

Watch it, boy. You can't do that. You've got to pay ten cents to look in there.

But, Mr. Bray, I'm not going to know if I want to pay to see what's inside if I

don't know what it is I'm going to see.

Do me a favor, boy.

Take some friends and have a look.

Let me know if it's worth seeing.

Thanks, mister. You bet.

Dr. Mike, I need a new buck saw.

Oh, well, I hope you're going to pay cash, because your account's all full.

I got two dollars to my name. Oh, what a shame.

Well, you're going to have to make do with that old saw, then, ain't you? Come

on, Mr. Bray.

Damn. Matthew.

I'm here for the big poker game early.

Well, I mean to be early. Gives me time to meet my opponents.

Gives me no one else.

Pardon me, Reverend?

I would be obliged if you could tell me where I might board my horse, Reverend.

Robert E. is just down the street.

Thank you, ma 'am.

Do you know Batman?

No.

I don't know him.

All right, here's your change. Here's your change.

Ma! Ma!

Come on, Ma.

We can see it now.

All right, now, everybody quiet.

Don't go poking or sticking your fingers in there.

Take it off.

Polly!

Eagle! A real eagle.

I wonder how they caught it.

What's the matter, Ma?

He doesn't look very happy.

When I was your age, my father took me to a zoo in Boston.

What's a zoo?

A place where wild animals live locked up in cages so people can come and see

them.

It was at a man's house. I remember a lion in a cage, pacing.

Pacing in a cage he could barely turn around in.

He cried all the way home.

Look at him, Brian.

He doesn't have enough room even to stretch his wings.

I know Sully taught you about eagles.

About how special they are to the Cheyenne.

How they carry prayers up through it.

Kind of like a church.

That's right.

Just the Cheyenne don't have zoos.

You seem to me a man that's down on his luck.

A man's never down on his luck unless he wants to be.

Julius Hoffman.

Matthew Cooper.

Buy you a drink?

Well, if you don't work, then how do you get your money?

Playing poker?

Is there something wrong with that?

No, I never knew anybody made a living off of it.

Poker's no different than life, my friend.

Everybody gets dealt bad cards.

How you play them, it makes you a loser.

Or a winner.

You can win with bad cards?

You sure you don't want a drink, my friend? I'm buying.

I'll have it.

It's got spirula.

What? A man said he'll have a sasparilla.

See if I got him.

If you want something, you gotta stand up and take charge for yourself.

You ever play?

My pa taught me how, but I never played with money.

Some think it's luck.

Others say it's all skill.

I say it's neither.

You wanna make money?

You've got to have the gut to stay in on a winning hand at all costs.

The rest, just learning how to read the other players.

See the dealer?

Every time he gets a good hand, he drinks.

See? He's so excited his mouth goes dry.

And the fellas put next to him with all the money.

Keeps his cards closed when he's bluffing.

Twenty more.

You make it sound easy. Like taking candy from a baby.

How much money you got?

A couple dollars.

Tell you what.

I'm gonna give you ten.

You can pay me back twelve after you win.

Well, I bet you don't.

Let's move on.

Worried about him?

It would just be nice to know where he is.

Maybe he found some work.

Well, I could have offered him work.

Ain't the thing.

Here's Ma.

He's just been a lot of pressure.

Well, it'd be nice to be able to help him.

He's got to find a way to help himself.

I could work for you, Ma.

After school at the clinic.

You don't even have to pay me much.

You want a job?

Well, uh... Look out of any of the clinic windows lately?

The windows are rather dirty, yes.

I'll give you a penny for every window pane that you wash, inside and out.

Could I be excused? I keep coming over with a new one frequently.

Well, if you finish up your chores before you visit.

And can I do this in the morning? She'll be here any minute.

She'll just have to wait. You know the rules.

I couldn't take all night.

I'll wash it for you.

For Nichols.

I'm home.

Sorry I'm late.

I lost track of time. You got a new hat.

Sure did.

It's a plate on the stove.

Thanks. I already ate it, Grace.

And it brought surprises.

It's a kaleidoscope.

I saw you eyeing it over at Mr. Bray's.

Gee, thanks.

Helene. Jane Austen.

You go.

You.

Sully.

You can't even... You didn't have to do that.

I wanted to.

How'd you manage to buy all these things?

Playing poker.

How could you? I only played a few hands.

It's just a game. Tell it, silly.

It's just a game, all right.

Depends on who you play it with.

Thought.

You might like these.

Matthew, you're very generous.

Just say thank you.

Please, for me.

I'm sorry. I can't accept these.

If you'd been working, it would be different.

Fine. I'll just take him back.

Brian, you've got to turn it.

Like that.

See?

This is very much money. But there were more sheets at time advantage.

Thank you for your fine work.

Thank you, Dr. Mike.

You're not to get supper tonight.

I promise.

My brother and sister's very happy you're coming.

I cook special.

What's this?

I want you to have it.

I can't take your money.

For money, for a new home, for our life together.

We'll keep your family, Wade.

See you tonight.

Keep your voice down.

No need to get upset. I've just come to offer you a donation.

You mean a bribe.

Oh, don't go getting all pious on me, Reverend.

No.

You've changed, Timothy.

But I have a feeling your fine flock would be interested in knowing what a

boy you've been.

Morning. Morning.

How are things?

Well, the children couldn't be happier.

I just can't accept the way he paid for their gifts.

Thanks, Billy.

Matthew.

Came from Widow Hanson's.

Sister needs that oak tree chop. It's two dollars.

I'll go buy later.

I'll see you too.

And I'll raise you five more.

Come on, boys.

Time to pass this by.

Myra, I'll have another sarsaparilla.

Come right up.

Waiting for the cows, Jake?

You're bluffing.

Come on.

Oh, flush.

Damn, you're lucky. Yeah.

Too lucky.

Man's never down on his luck. If he wants to be.

Take a break, Matthew.

Oh, I'm going to get warmed up.

I could, uh...

Take a break.

Miss Dorothy?

Yes, Brian?

Think Mr. Bray would ever sell the eagle?

Well, that depends. Maybe if he made a profit.

A profit?

Well, if somebody offered him more for that bird than he paid for it, he might

sell. How much more?

I'd say a dime.

And he only paid two dollars for it.

Listen, I forgot to mention I'm going to be eating at Ingrid's tonight.

Fine.

Brian.

Come on over here a second.

How about you do my chores tonight and I'll give you a quarter in advance?

A whole quarter?

Sure.

Widow Hanson said he never showed up at Chop That Oak.

I was busy.

Brian, could you look at the windows upstairs?

You weren't busy. You were playing poker.

Why don't you just say it?

All right, I don't approve.

Of gambling?

That's right.

I suppose you agree.

You mean more if it worked for it.

Well, why'd you take the canteen I gave you?

I've been thinking I shouldn't have.

Even the Cheyenne gambled. This is just games for fun.

What about the horse race?

That was a contest for a prize.

You know, you got everything worked out, so it's just right for you.

Maybe this is right for me.

You don't believe that.

Why not?

Juliet says that I got the touch.

I'm making money.

Lost a bit. I almost got enough for the big game.

What happens when you lose?

I'm not gonna lose.

I'm on a lucky streak.

Ten dollars.

You're ten.

Twenty more.

Stop it.

I'm out of money.

You in or out, big shot?

Lauren, how'd you like to buy a wagon for $15?

You're selling your wagon for $15?

That's right.

As long as I can buy it right back for $20 when I win.

What is this?

Hold your horses.

What happens if you lose?

You got yourself a wagon.

You got yourself a deal.

I'm in.

I'm out.

Freedom and weep.

Tens over twos.

Kings over eights.

Hey,

that'll be up for tomorrow.

I am sorry about Tupper. You promised you'd be here.

I know.

I forgot.

Why do you want to hurt me?

I don't want to hurt you.

I had this chance.

Look.

Look.

You got the job.

I got in a game.

I won.

play game with the money I give?

You can lose my money.

I didn't lose.

I didn't lose.

You can't win.

Ten times this amount.

I can buy lumber for the house. We can get married right away.

I can even help your family.

work, not play games.

You've not earned this money.

Ingrid! Ingrid, wait!

You've got quite an essay.

I've never seen anyone work so hard. You must be saving for something special.

I can't tell you. I'm a little proud.

Dr. Mike, it's me, Horace.

Dr. Mike, you'd better come now.

What happened?

It's Matthew.

He's probably found him by the saloon. He's beat up bad.

What happened?

Looks like somebody robbed him.

It's afraid to take him all the way up to the homestead.

You did the right thing.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Drive away.

Tell me he's a tourist.

I need to take him to the clinic for a proper exam.

I want your customer searched.

Whoever did this knew he had money.

I know it ain't one of your kind.

No, come now, not the good reverend.

You've got a man of God here who's pious and pure.

To accuse his flock of such a nasty deed, brother, would be like accusing

good reverend himself.

He didn't get a look at who robbed him? Nope.

Damn shame he's out of the game.

Figured you'd be happy about it. Oh, no.

A true gambler enjoys a real contest almost as much as the winning.

In fact, I'm surprised nobody's backing him. What is it that the miners call

that?

Grub staking.

What do you mean?

Well, you played with him.

Next to me, of course.

That boy had the best odds of walking away with that pot today.

I didn't see him doing so badly against you, neither.

Well, I guess we'll never know.

No, I ain't ever seen a body get cards like that.

Damn, he was lucky.

Well... That ain't luck, my friend.

You either have it or you don't.

The boy has it.

Gentlemen?

And one more for cleaning out the bins.

Talk back a few minutes.

He's all right. Walking around kind of funny like an old man.

What are you doing?

Finding the eagle.

What?

What about the eagle? Here, I'm giving you ten cents profit.

Folks that were going to see it have already come.

All right.

Who wants an old bird around here smelling up the place anyway?

Thanks, Mr. Bray.

It's picking up.

How'd you like to triple your money?

Sorry, it has to be so tight. I know it's painful.

I didn't lose my money gambling. I was robbed.

I didn't say anything.

You didn't have to.

You didn't have to.

I wish you didn't fight back.

Few things are worth taking a beating for, and money certainly isn't one of

them.

I'll get it.

Oh, Matthew, you've got to come. It's my surprise.

Aren't you coming?

Whatever it is, your brother worked very hard for this.

You just need some time, that's all.

It's a wonderful gift, Brian.

The most wonderful gift.

Freedom.

I won't let go.

He's got to take the prayers. Go on, fly!

I'll understand.

Who's taking you?

You've been riding one hell of a streak lately, and there's no reason we can't

come along. Of course, you get to keep 50%. Now, the investors' names and

amounts are all written right there.

That's us, and Dorothy, and Robert E., and Grace.

Jake,

you'd stake me $20? No reason we can't put our personal feelings aside.

We're all hoping for the same thing.

There's gonna be more than $1 ,000 sitting on those tables.

We got faith in you, Matthew.

Dr. Mike, I need to speak with you.

You have to stop this.

What are you talking about?

Some of the townspeople are staking Matthew in a poker game.

They're what?

They're giving him money to gamble.

And he's being set up. They all are. Believe me. I know.

How do you know?

How do you know?

Before I came to the Lord,

I had a different kind of life.

And it's not a life I'm proud of.

The more money I won, the more respect people gave me.

Pretty soon it didn't matter how I won it or who I hurt.

You end up playing on people's dreams.

You let them win.

You even cheat if you have to.

But in the end, it's easier if you just steal it.

Why didn't you say anything?

Because I've been a coward.

But I'm saying something now.

Ingrid!

Ingrid!

Ingrid, wait!

Wait!

You're playing this game again?

Very.

Accounting on me.

Ingrid, it's last time.

Promise. Promise.

You don't keep your promises.

Dr. Mike's engagement ring.

Your engagement ring.

No.

I cannot marry you now.

Come on, let's go.

Be great.

Matthew, don't do this.

Sorry, Reverend.

We got business.

Horace, you can't let him do this. I'm only in for ten dollars.

Just a game.

We gotta do something.

No.

Let him go.

Five -card draw, gentlemen.

Two -dollar Annie.

Sky's the limit.

Matthew.

Ain't nobody gonna be leaving these tables till you're all cleaned out or

got everybody's money.

Cheaters will be shot on sight.

Drinks are on the house.

For players only.

I can't

believe how the whole town seems to accept it, even Horace.

Well, nobody twisted Matthew's arm. He wanted to play. He's been playing for

three days. Hey, Grace, you're not a part of this.

I've been feeding this town on one stove for over a year.

It's time I got another. I deserve another.

And we're saving up to buy a place.

You're both in on it?

Well, so is Dorothy.

But it's wrong.

Trying to get something for nothing.

Well, it's easy for some folks to say. Folks who were born having things,

never been left wanting.

Why doesn't he want to go home?

I don't know, Brian.

Maybe he's been in that cage so long he forgot what it's like to hunt what it

feels to do for himself.

You think I'll remember?

Cheyenne believed that the eagle was a bringer of wisdom.

He can teach us how to see things more clearly.

Maybe he's staying for a reason.

We can't just leave him here.

He could get hurt.

Well, looks like it's down to just the four of us, gentlemen.

Ante up.

Here we go.

$100.

I'll see $100 and

raise you $200.

That's two more to you, Matthew.

I'm short $14.

I'm good for it.

That's not how the game is played, kid.

Loren, you need a wagon?

You bet with what you brought to the table, son.

That's a real diamond. That's worn covered.

Car. Four kings.

You drew three cards.

Sometimes I surprise myself.

Going so soon.

Timothy, old boy.

I was starting to think you didn't care.

No visit, not even a hello.

I hope you don't mind, Timothy. Reverend is so impersonal.

I come for the boy's money.

I offered you money before.

That's off the table now.

And as for the rest of it, I want it fair.

Now the whole town watched me.

I'm talking about the money that you stole from him.

And did you have to beat him, too?

Are you accusing me?

I know how you work.

Yeah.

Yeah, I suppose you do.

Can you prove it?

You're not leaving here with the boy's rightful money.

You gonna take it from me?

I do wish you would try, Timothy.

Just for a little time.

We used to fight like a man.

Hey.

Revan asked you politely.

Are you threatening me, boy?

Huh?

He ain't I am.

Since you're settling things up with the Revan, there's something I want to buy

from you.

I'm always willing to discuss a reasonable offer.

What?

Brian, will you get Colleen for me? She's your daughter.

I'll leave in a few minutes.

How's the head?

It's better than the rest of me.

I guess I really messed things up.

A man can't grow if he never makes mistakes.

It's a stolen money.

Reverend got it back for you.

You knew who took it.

How could you know?

I guess you're not the first man who's ever been taken by a slick gambler.

Reverend?

Julius?

Why are you giving this to me?

It's your money.

What do you suggest I give it to?

Is the reverend all right?

He said he never felt better.

Here.

I bought back something I thought you should have.

Matthew gambled with this?

I've seen the thickness before in the mining camp.

A man starts dreaming about all the things he can buy.

You lose a side of what's important.

I figured you'd know what to do with it.

Morning Evan I'll make a donation

Church

The

Lord will show me how to put this to good use

What are you all doing here?

We're coming to help.

Come on, Brian.

You go.

It's such a beautiful spot.

How could you come here?

After everything that I... Family, Matthew.

You taught me something about myself.

I realize that... I'll always want to protect you.

Keep you safe from hurt.

No matter how old or grown up you get.

I don't feel very grown up.

I don't know. I heard what you did about the money.

I'm very proud of you.

I gambled with your ring.

I lost it playing poker.

I know.

So I bought it back.

You still want me to have this?

Boy, I still want you to have it.

I still love you, and I always will. Nothing like that will ever change.

Although, I believe it will take some doing to get a certain young lady back.

She's worth the work.

Most things worth having are.
