Hey, I got you! You're in check!

Mm-hmm.

That was a fatal error, m'lady.

Your castle is toppling, your bishop is in jeopardy,

and your queen is doomed to extinction.

But you're still in check.

Hmm.

You wouldn't settle for a draw, would you?

Well, why should I?

I thought you'd say that.

- Hello. - Hi. Hi.

Hi. Do you play chess?

No, ma'am, poker's my game.

Well, let's see now.

Aren't you going to move?

I'd like to, but I don't see any possibilities.

Daddy!

What's wrong? Let me help you.

Water, somebody get some water.

Conductor!

Breathe deep, Daddy, just breathe deep.

Here.

It's all right, he's had these spells before.

I know what to do.

What's wrong here?

Why don't you get these folks back in their seats?

The little lady seems to have everything in hand.

All right, folks, let's get back to our seats now.

It's all right, Daddy, just breathe deep.

Just rest. It's all right.

That was a good one.

And don't talk.

What's the matter with him?

She says this has happened to him before.

I'll keep an eye on him.

We can stop the train if you think it'll do any good.

Would it help to stop the train?

Let's just get there.

All right.

But if you need me, you call on me.

Well, could I have a blanket, please?

Sure. Here.

Thanks, I can handle it now.

You sure? How far you going?

Carsville.

Tomorrow morning? Could be a long night.

Don't you worry, honey, he'll make it.

♪

How about me taking over for a while?

I'm not tired. Thanks anyways, mister.

Trampas. My name's Trampas.

Oh, I'm Hannah, Hannah Carson.

Hannah. Huh.

I knew a girl named Hannah once.

Did you like her?

She was married. To a preacher.

Oh.

But I would have liked her.

You know, there's about, oh, six hours

before we get to Carsville.

I can make it.

You sure?

Okay.

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

Is that perfectly clear? I am going with Roy.

I'll never come back.

What you don't realize is what kind of man he is.

Oh, he's more of a man than you ever were,

and he wants something out of life.

Not for me. I don't ask it for me.

I am tired, tired of it all, of the pretension, the lies,

what you can't know, what you have never known.

For Hannah. For Hannah's sake.

You're not the kind of woman can leave her own child.

But it's you she loves.

Her proper gentleman of a father, not me.

She'll hear you. Now, Carol, listen to me...

Let go of me! I'm going, do you hear?

And nothing you can say can stop me.

I am going with Roy tonight, and I promise you this, Paul,

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

♪

Really, Trampas, I can make it.

Yeah, sure you can.

As soon as the doctor says so.

I've ordered a rig out from town.

Thank you, Conductor.

Good luck, honey.

Board!

Well, Trampas, it's starting.

Huh? Oh, yeah, so it has.

You told me you were going to Great Falls.

Well, I changed my mind.

I'd forgotten Carsville's one town I've always wanted to see.

Your lying. You're just staying to help us.

Well, that could be another reason

until I can find a doctor for your father

and a place for you to stay.

You don't have to. I can handle things now.

I bet you can. I'll hurry up on that rig.

Daddy, you asked him, did you?

Yes, Hannah.

Does he know about... Carol?

Some. Enough.

His wife says that Doc Harris will be here within the hour.

Oh, he's out making his weekly rounds,

but their son's gone to fetch him.

Thank you.

Is your Pa feeling better now?

I think so.

Never better.

You'll find that Doc Harris is a good man.

He sure knows his business.

You know that when my sister was taken sick with the...

Excuse me, ma'am.

Do you think maybe you could say with my father

until the doctor gets here?

Why, sure, honey, but where...

Do you know anyone in town named Carol Carson?

No, no, I never heard of her, why?

I'd better go start looking.

Hannah?

Uh, you could maybe use a little help?

- Trampas. - Hmm?

Daddy told you why we're looking for my mother, didn't he?

Yeah, he told me.

Did he say it was because of me?

Mm-hmm.

That's what I want him to think. It's how I got him to come.

But do you want to know the truth?

He's the one who needs her.

Do you know what's really wrong with his heart?

It's broken.

And I know that, even if he doesn't.

And I've got to find her for him before...

Well, before anything can happen.

I've got to. I can't let anything stop me.

I got a hunch nothing's going to.

Why don't you stay in there with your dad,

and I'll take a look around, is that a deal?

Okay.

Oh, Hannah, if your mother was working in town,

what would she be doing?

I don't know.

Well, how do you know she was here?

One letter came. Just a note, sort of.

Then later a package,

a present for my birthday in December.

Oh.

Well, y-you go on and see your dad, all right?

♪

- Sheriff? - Mm-hmm.

Uh, I'm looking for a woman.

No, no, no. No, her name is Mrs. Carson.

They said she was here around December.

Carson, December. No, I'm afraid I can't help you.

- Is she wanted? - No.

Well, have you got a picture?

I'll see if I can't dig one up.

You do that.

Thanks.

- A picture? - Mm-hmm.

Well, this is the only one I have.

Well, sure is pretty.

Can I borrow it?

Okay.

Oh, sure, sure, but not by that name.

No, yeah, I've seen her, all right.

- Where? - The North Star.

Saloon?

Yeah.

Hmm, thanks.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Excuse me, I'm looking for somebody I think works here.

Oh? Who is it?

Well, uh, here, got a picture of her right here.

- Why? - Does she work here?

I asked you why.

A friend of mine's trying to find her.

A friend?

How much did she take him for? Or maybe it was you, huh?

No, it's nothing like that.

I'm just trying to help 'em find her.

She's gone. She was working here.

She called herself Alice Barnes.

She left a week, maybe 10 days ago.

- Uh... by request. - Why?

A fella named Roy Harkness used to come in here

regular for poker.

Used to win regular, too, too regular.

You see, Alice was working with him.

When I found that out, I gave them both 24 hours

to get out of town before I told the Sheriff.

- Do you know where... - Where did they go?!

- Hannah! - Well, tell me, do you know?

- Get that kid out of here. - All right.

Please, please, tell me, where is she?

- Do you know? - No, now get her out of here!

- Do you? - I...

No, I don't know.

Out.

All right, come on. Hannah, I told you to...

Come on, honey.

Hannah, now you listen to me.

You never do that again, you hear me?

I had to. I thought she was in there.

Trampas, please don't tell Daddy

that she's still with Roy, please?

No, don't worry, I won't tell him, no.

You go on back to the hotel, and I'll keep checking.

- All right? - Okay.

Trampas, that redhead, she was lying.

- Hannah? - She knows where they are.

How do you know?

I just know.

Oh.

Here.

Now will you go to the hotel?

Go on.

Okay, what is this?

Where are they? Hannah says you were lying.

What's the matter with that kid?

Nothing.

She's just trying to find her mother.

- You mean Alice? - Mm-hmm.

Maybe it'd be better if she didn't find her.

That could be, but she doesn't think so.

I don't know. I liked Alice.

She asked me not to tell in case O'Shea

tried to cause her some trouble.

Now, look, Hannah's father is sick.

He may be dying, but she's sure

if she finds her mother, it'll save him.

Well?

They're heading for a town up north,

a place called Loma.

Loma.

What did you find out?

Well, your hunch was right. Redhead knew about your mother.

Well, where is she?

She's heading for a place called Loma.

- Loma? - Yeah, it's a town up north

about 50 or 60 miles as the crow flies,

but it'll take you about, oh, four or five days

by coach or train.

You gotta go clear west to Great Falls

and then double back.

Five days to go 50 miles?

- Mm-hmm. - That's ridiculous.

A person could ride it in two.

A person, huh?

Well, just what person did you have in mind?

I'll tell Daddy. You get us horses.

Now just wait a minute. Get us horses?

You mean you won't go with me?

Hannah, that's a long, hard ride over rough country.

I mean, it's hard enough for a man,

let alone a little sprout of a girl like you.

- Now... - But I...

Come on, let's go on inside, come on.

Hannah!

Hannah!

Hannah, get off that horse!

Hannah! Hannah!

Hey!

I've been riding since I was two,

and I can take my horse anywhere you can!

And I'm going!

You're going where your father says and when he says!

Now you get off that horse

before they catch you as a horse thief.

Do you know what they do to kids who steal horses?

Shh! They hang 'em.

Yeah, you do ride well, though.

Get in there.

Five days, you say, huh?

Yeah, well, a lot'll depend on the stagecoach connections

back in Great Falls.

Daddy, it's only a two-day ride overland,

and if Trampas and I started...

Trampas has been more than kind already,

for which, again, my thanks.

That's all right.

We'll carry it on from here.

Excuse me.

But, Daddy, we might lose her again if we wait too long.

I take it you're not kin to them.

No.

Anybody we can contact?

Well, as you heard, the girl's mother may be up at Loma,

but it seems there's no one else.

Is he that bad?

Well, it's not just his heart.

Pneumonia complication with it.

You could live 10 hours, maybe 10 days.

Beyond that...

Oh.

Well, Doc, if the girl's left alone,

what'll happen to her?

Well, she's a ward of the court. Find some family to take her.

Otherwise, there's the orphanage over at Lawler.

No worse than most.

No better.

Thanks.

Oh, Mr. Carson, I just remembered

I got some business I can do up at Loma.

So I can make that ride for you.

Oh, when we leave?

We? Oh, no, no.

You're staying here with your father.

But if I don't go, Carol might not come back.

- Hannah... - I've got to talk to her.

Hannah.

I'd like to speak to Trampas alone, please.

- But, Daddy... - Hannah.

- Well. - What did he say?

- What? - The doctor.

He told me nothing.

But I was watching his eyes.

What's the verdict?

Well, uh...

Don't lie to me, Trampas.

He wasn't too hopeful.

How long?

That's what I thought.

Take her with you, Trampas.

Please.

Whether or not you find Carol,

it's better if Hannah isn't here.

Well, doctors, you know, I... I still don't believe him.

Don't make any bets on it.

I've put you to an awful lot of trouble.

I'd like to pay you for your time.

Well, I don't know the going rate

for helping a child find her mother,

so you can just forget that.

Thank you.

Trampas, there aren't many men I'd trust

take my daughter on such a trip.

Thanks.

You know, there aren't many men

who would try and take her on that trip.

Uh, by the way...

do you mind suggesting to Hannah that every once in a while,

she'll do what I suggest?

I'll try.

And thank you.

That's all right.

Well, you just, uh... You take it easy.

I'm sure everything's gonna be all right.

Hannah? Be ready at 6:00 in the morning.

- I'm going with you? - That you are.

I'll get some horses and some supplies,

- and I'll pick you up at 6:00. - Let's leave right now.

No, because you need your rest

before we start out in the morning.

I'll see you at 6:00.

Boy, you sure are one for putting things off.

Hannah. Go on!

♪

Oh, be there.

You've got to be there.

No, I'll have no part of it.

You heard her.

She calls it, that's the way it is, eh?

Well, looks like you could've saved yourself a trip.

Come on, Roy, don't listen to her!

You said yourself it was a perfect setup.

Leif, I'm tired. Please go.

I'll go when he starts making some sense, now look...

Leif, Leif!

Use the back stairs. And still stay out of sight.

It won't work, Roy.

You and your brother do what you want.

I can't stop you. But I am out of it.

Out of it? Ah, honey, that place is a matchbox.

It's almost too easy.

And we do it at night, tomorrow night.

Now, that can mean almost an 8-hour head start for the border

before they even know what's happened.

No, Roy.

Now, we case the place tomorrow just to be sure.

For that I need you, but for the job itself,

you'll be out of it completely.

It's too simple. No trouble, no killing.

How can you be sure?

I tell you, I am sure.

No, don't, Roy.

Shilling is one thing,

but don't ask me to do this, please.

You think I'm not as tired of this small-time action

as you are?

Well, this one job can end all that.

There'll be a mine payroll in that safe tomorrow, honey.

Over 10,000. You know what that can mean to us?

Two days, we're in Canada,

then east on to Europe,

everything I ever promised you,

everything you deserve.

It's always the same, isn't it, Roy?

Your final argument, it never changes.

Roy?

Don't go.

Morning. Thought you were gonna sleep all day.

- It's 5:30. - I told you 6:00.

I know, but I got the horses for you.

And what's the idea of ordering me a gentle mare?

I got this chestnut instead.

Oh, you did, huh? I hope he bucks you off.

What are we waiting for?

What about breakfast?

I had Ms. Crandall make some sandwiches.

We can eat 'em on the way.

Ho, Hannah!

♪

Whoa. Let's walk 'em for a ways now, huh?

- I'm not tired. - Yeah.

Hey, Hannah, hey!

Hannah, pull 'em up! Pull 'em up!

You hear me?! Hannah!

Hannah, when I say pull up, you pull up, is that straight?

I don't care if you're tired or not.

- The horses need the rest! - Wh...

And don't give me nonsense about getting there alone.

You wouldn't make it. No more arguments,

or I'm taking you back to Carsville, is that clear?

Okay, it's just too bad I couldn't have got

a ruggeder man to take me.

Walk him.

Boy, look at those falls.

Yeah, sure looks nice, doesn't it?

Yes, sirree.

Yeah, it's too bad we got about six or five hours

before nightfall.

We could stop and cool off for while.

Nah, I guess a rugged gal like you

would figured that'd be a waste of time.

Could we, Trampas?

Sure, go ahead and take a swim.

I'll wait for you behind these trees.

Oh, that was great.

- Yeah. - Is it cold.

Oh, cold? Bet it's not that cold.

- Lookee here. - Oh, boy!

Yep. And...

Madame?

Uh-huh.

Now it's my turn.

And you stay here, you hear?

I hear.

And, Hannah, save me a sandwich.

It is cold! Whoo!

Trampas?

Yeah?

What time will we get there tomorrow?

Uh, that depends.

Uh, maybe late afternoon.

You think she'll still be there?

Huh?

Do you think she'll still be there?!

She'll be there! Stop worrying!

Who's worrying?

Where will we camp tonight?

Oh, uh, probably at the pass.

That's Indian country, Blackfeet!

Very unfriendly!

Don't worry, I'll protect you.

What the... hey!

What in the devil?

Ow! Wha... what's going on?

What are you doing with my gun?

I was only practicing. I never shot a gun before.

Well, don't do it again.

Aw, I just want to know how.

I mean, sometime, I might have to.

Would you like to give me lessons?

I was aiming at that tree. Second time, I hit it.

Now you listen to me. Don't touch my gun again.

Is that clear? Don't touch it again.

I'm sorry. Gee.

All right, I'm going.

Alone or are you going like that?

No, I...

You look like a skinned rat.

There'll be no problem, Mrs. Davis.

We'll arrange the transfer for you.

All I need is a letter to your bank in Kansas City.

I'll see that you get it. Will tomorrow be all right?

Certainly.

One thing more.

Um... these are my own separate funds.

By inheritance.

They'll be quite apart from the account

my husband will be opening.

I understand.

Now as for helping you find a good piece of property

in this area, I happen to know

of several fine ranch properties.

I'd be glad to be of assistance to you.

You're very kind, Mister, uh...

Jenkins. Harold Jenkins.

Mr. Jenkins. Thank you so much.

It's a pleasure.

Dear?

Here.

How's that?

It's better than at home.

Hey, you gonna sleep with your boots on?

Yeah, too hard to get on in the morning.

Besides, I don't want to lose my spurs.

Good friend gave them to me.

Say, I thought you were mad at me.

I was, but you cooked me that fine dinner.

Where'd you learn to broil a rabbit like that?

I cook a lot for Daddy.

But that's in a kitchen, of course.

It's much more fun over an open fire.

Yeah,

Now, I know a gal like you couldn't possibly be afraid,

but in case anything happens, I'll be right here.

So why don't you try and get some rest?

I am tired, a little.

- Trampas? - Hmm?

Do you really think she'll be there?

I'll even give you odds.

- What was that? - A wolf.

You think he'll come here?

Most likely not.

Oh, he may come down and take a look at us,

but wolves are more afraid of people

than we are of them, except maybe in the winter.

Oh?

Yeah, it's true.

The stars are so beautiful.

Mm-hmm.

Do you know about stars?

Some. I have to travel by them.

See that star at the end of the Big Dipper?

Yeah?

That points right at the North Star.

- Polaris. - Mm-hmm.

And, uh, that one over there's Vega.

Nuh-uh. Vega's over there.

It's part of the constellation Perseus.

Now Perseus was a prince who cut off the head

of the monster Medusa to save the Princess Andromeda.

Where'd you learn all that?

My daddy told me. He knows all the constellations.

He went to sea once when he was even younger than you are.

Oh. Hmm.

He's a wonderful man.

Except he dreams, sort of.

But he's wonderful.

Ever been married, Trampas?

No.

Ever been in love?

Yeah.

Never worked out, though.

I mean, if I'd met a gal who could cook a dinner

like you did tonight and was about, oh,

10 years older, I might have considered it.

I'm never gonna get married.

No?

People who get married just only try to change each other.

What about children?

If I want children, I'll adopt some.

Plenty of kids who need a mother to love them.

I guess so.

No, I want your word on it.

All right.

Oh, ma'am, I'm looking for the Sheriff.

He's out with a posse.

We had a robbery here last night.

- Yeah, I heard. - Well, I'm his wife.

If I can be of any help to you.

Well, I, uh...

Yes, ma'am, I'm, uh... I'm looking for a woman.

Got a picture of her right here.

Do you know this woman?

Well, I'm just looking for her.

Well, this... this woman and the man she was with,

those of the people my husband is going after.

I mean, they robbed the bank last night.

They didn't. They couldn't have.

- Hannah, I told... - You only said the saloon.

Tell her she's wrong, Trampas.

It couldn't have been my mother.

That's her mother?

Yes, ma'am. Hannah.

Maybe it's a mistake, honey.

I mean, it's just that, well,

she was seen in the bank with this man yesterday,

and now they're both gone, but we... we aren't sure.

That... that fella in the cell,

he could probably tell us something about it.

- Oh? - He was caught last night.

My husband's sure he had something to do with it,

but trying to talk to him, it's a waste of time.

- Mister! - Hannah!

Nobody named Carol Carson had anything to do with it, did she?

I don't know anyone by the name of Carol Carson.

I don't know nothing about any bank robbery,

and it's a fine thing a man can't even get drunk in this town!

- Hey! - What?

We've gotta go looking, don't you see?

They think she's guilty just because no one's seen her.

- But if we can find her...! - Sure, sure.

But I'll do the looking. You're gonna stay at the hotel.

No, let her stay with me. A hotel's no place for a kid.

I'll look after her.

Trampas, please let me come with you.

Hannah, I'll... I'll keep looking for her,

and if she's in town, I'll come for you.

If she's not, then we'll have to wait for the posse,

and that'll probably be in the morning,

and we'll know more then.

You do believe my mother's guilty.

No, Hannah...

I... I don't know.

I-I hope not, but I don't know.

Now why don't you just try and get some sleep,

Thank you, ma'am, thanks.

You wanna go upstairs?

Mister?

You do know, don't you?

Is that woman they're after my mother?

Look, I told you before I don't know nothing about it!

Shh!

Only you're lying.

Look, will you get out of here, go back to bed?

All I want to know is where she is now.

If you know, tell me, please.

- Look, I told you! - Shh!

Um...

Just how bad you want to get to her?

What do you mean?

I mean supposin' I did know your mother,

and supposin' I knew she ran away with somebody.

With Roy Harkness.

And she never knew that he'd just held up a bank

and that the posse was after her,

she'd be in a heap of trouble, now wouldn't she?

I mean, uh, someone should warn her, right?

Well, I can, I will.

- No, no. - Where did they go?

Never find it. You wouldn't.

No.

But you could take me.

Keys are on the peg hanging right on the wall there.

You won't just run off?

You will take me to her? You swear it?

Sure. Keys on the peg.

No, first I'll get our horses.

They're out back.

You say you know my mother. What's her name?

Carol.

You heard me say that.

What name did she use in Carsville?

Alice.

There he is.

She's... she's gone.

- What? - S-she's gone.

And the fella in the cell with her, he's gone, too.

- Mr. Hendricks. - Out east.

See, I was heading home, And they come by me riding hard.

But I seen the fella was that man they caught last night.

where you last saw them, where they're headed?

Yeah, I'll take you out there.

All, right. Thank you.

Thank you.

All right, kid, ride's over.

What you mean?

Go on, head on back now. Git.

You promised. You swore you'd take me!

That's right, I did. Now git.

All right, hold it up.

I won't let you leave me.

Oh, you won't, eh?

Don't you dare!

You know what I'll tell them when they find me tied up?

- What? - That you kidnapped me.

And you know what they do to men who kidnap girls?

- They hang them. - Yeah.

But if you do take me, even if they catch us,

I'll tell them it was my fault.

I made you do it. I'll tell the judge that.

I promise. And I keep my promises.

Anyway, I will this one. I swear it.

Please? I've got to get to her.

All right, let's go. Come on.

Whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa.

Ain't no use, friend.

We ain't gonna get them, not tonight anyhow.

- They had too much a start. - We'll keep trying anyway.

No, no, not me, I'm sorry. I just can't make it.

Look, now the best idea would be for you

to go on back to town and wait for the Sheriff.

No.

Yeah.

Well, look now, the odds are they've followed

that trail on to Crown Creek.

That's about three or four miles.

They'll cross that, then they'll turn north

and head for the border.

Okay, well, thanks.

Good luck.

All clear, honey!

Well, how do you like it?

The mansion I always promised you, huh?

Can't we just go on?

No, I told Leif we'd meet him here.

Anyway you've gotta get some rest.

Here, you can lie down in here.

Could we build a fire?

Unh-unh.

Hey, it's not that cold.

Carol, it's over. It's done.

Smooth and easy, just like I said.

Come on now. Get some rest.

Wonder who lived here.

Oh, some old joker, probably, trying to make a strike.

Yeah, over four years ago.

Shame.

Nobody ever told him there was an easier way.

♪

Hey, look!

Cheyenne hunting party.

Better go this way. Come on.

Better water these horses.

Better get yourself a drink, too.

It's gonna be a long trip.

Hey, come back here!

You liar! You crook!

Stop it! That's my horse!

There's a road back there about three, four miles!

Wait there! Somebody'll pick you up!

You're a low-down, no-good crook!

You're a... You know what you are!

Hello.

Hi.

How.

Do either of you speak English?

I speak.

Oh, thank goodness. Can you help me?

My brother, he's off somewhere.

We got separated when my horse threw me.

Could you take me to him, please?

♪

I thought you were gonna get some rest.

Oh, don't worry. He'll make it.

You know, it could be he just had to lay low in town

till it was safe to leave.

Also could be that they caught him.

They never saw us together. What can they do?

Over 12,000.

You agree now that it was worth it?

Here.

Buy yourself a sable coat.

You'll be the most beautiful woman in Paris.

Roy, I'm... I'm still afraid.

I don't know why. It's... it's a feeling.

Please, shouldn't we go on?

We'll wait another hour.

♪

Hi, brother dear. Sorry you couldn't find me.

Thanks very much.

I hope I can do something for you someday.

Take better care of child. You are fool to lose her.

Oh, it was all my fault.

Still, he is fool.

What are we waiting for, brother dear?

- Is that where we're going? - That's right.

Come on, git. Yah! Yah!

Carol?

Uh... I'm going up a ways and check for Leif.

What is this? That's Carol's kid.

That's right, Mr. Harkness.

You brought her here?

I brought her? You should've been there.

This kid keeps showing up.

Where's my mother? Is she up there?

No. No, I haven't seen your mother in months.

You're lying.

She rode off from Loma with you after the robbery.

He told me. So you're a liar.

And you're also a card shark and a wife stealer,

and now you're a bank robber, and I'll tell everybody

unless you let me see Carol.

Your mother went back alone.

You're still lying.

Now, Hanna, I have no desire

to see a young girl hurt.

You'd better not. They'd hang you for it.

But you're going back now.

You're not following Leif and me, is that clear?

Hang you by the neck till you're dead!

Leif, take her back and tie her up.

Leave her horse with her.

Tie her loose enough she can get free.

Carol! Mother! Carol!

Carol! Mother!

Hannah.

Oh, Hannah.

I-I came to take you back.

It's Daddy, he needs you. He's sick.

Tell them. Tell them you'll go.

We're pulling out.

Sure to be a posse following them.

No, she's coming back! Tell them!

Do you want Hannah in the middle of a shootout?

Now mount up.

He's right this one time. Get on your horse.

Come on, now we can do it. Come on.

- No, Hannah, wait. - We got to.

You can't let him take us any farther.

We've gotta get back. Daddy's sick.

Keep moving!

A moment, Roy, I've got to talk to her.

The border's three hours away. You can talk then.

Oh, don't listen to him.

Daddy'll be worried. I've been gone so long now.

Hannah, there are certain things

you're still too young to understand.

I'm not too young.

I know you and Daddy got married,

and when he needs you, no one can be more important.

Hannah, do you want your mother in danger?

It's your fault if she is.

I told you, Roy, leave us alone.

Hannah!

It's Tram...

Hannah, you keep quiet. Come on.

Hannah!

Hannah?

Hannah!

- Hannah! - Hold it.

Right there.

Turn around.

Now take off your gun belt.

What's going on?

I'll take it.

Hey! You can't hurt him.

It's Trampas! He's a friend!

Be quiet.

Well, I see you found her, Hannah.

Mrs. Carson, I made a promise to your husband

to help Hannah try and find you and bring you back.

With you, if you'll come. And that's all I care about.

The rest is none of my business,

and I'm willing to leave it there.

- Who's following you? - Nobody.

The posse's headed west away from Loma.

You're not gonna believe that are you?

He's telling the truth, and Leif knows it, too.

Let him go! Tell him to let Trampas go!

Roy, if the man is alone...

Tie him up and gag him. We'll leave him here.

Roy, no!

It might be days before somebody found him.

He could die.

Go ahead, Leif.

♪

Gimme the gun, Carol.

Carol, the gun!

Don't come any closer, Roy.

Hold it right there, Trampas.

Just which way you gonna keep pointing that thing?

How about it, Carol?

You heard him, Roy.

He came to take Hannah back, and he's going to do it.

What about us?

Gonna let this cowhand wreck everything?

He will if he takes us back.

You know I can't do that, not alone.

I could never get you there,

not without putting Hannah in danger,

and I'm not about to do that.

Like I said before,

your business has nothing to do with me.

You can just head up that trail and go to the border

for all I care, just so that girl's not hurt.

Think you'd better do as he says, Roy.

What about you?

You know what'll happen if you go back, Carol.

Go on, Roy.

- You can't go back! - Go on!

Leif?

You are coming back!

Hannah...

if I do come back, do you know what'll happen to me?

Well, you weren't in on the robbery.

Only I was.

And... baby...

even if I weren't,

you were wrong about Paul needing me.

It's you he needs, and terribly.

Not me, not anymore.

You may be right, that I broke his heart.

But if I came back, I'd only break it over again.

Hannah, I'm not the girl he married,

and I haven't been for a long time.

When you get married, it says till death do us part.

Yes, I know it does.

But when you're older, you will realize

that other things can part us, too,

things you sometimes can't control.

But maybe you'll understand. Even if you can't forgive me.

Hannah...

I can't come back because of what I am.

And so you'll just have to leave me.

Go on. I don't want you.

Who cares?

Hannah?

Don't tell Daddy I cried. Please don't tell him.

I won't.

Anyway, a woman isn't a woman until she...

Until she cries.

Now you listen.

You wait right here, you hear me?

Right here.

♪

Carol?!

Carol!

Please go on, Mr. Trampas.

Take her back. That was hard enough to do.

For who?

Mrs. Carson, there's still something you don't know.

Your husband isn't just sick, he's dying.

The doctor gave him ten days at the most.

Oh, no, does Hannah know that?

No, I'd say something like that,

if a little girl is to know, it should come from her mother.

There something else, Mrs. Carson.

When I told your husband I'd help Hannah find you,

he said Carol's a fine woman, and what happened

between you two was... Was nobody's fault.

And it wasn't for Hannah, he'd still let you go.

But he didn't.

Because of Hannah, he took a trip

that may have cut years out of his life

so Hannah could find you.

Even if that's true,

I can't go back because of the money.

Well, uh... maybe that... That money isn't a problem.

As a matter of fact, maybe anybody

who were to bring it back might be very welcome.

But how on Earth?

Oh, a slight switch while you and Roy were welcoming Hannah.

I'm afraid your friends are gonna be in

for a small surprise when they reach Canada.

So, uh, if the money isn't the problem...

That leaves the real problem.

How can I ever be the mother she deserves?

Mrs. Carson, you're the only mother as Hannah's got.

Maybe now the only parent she's got,

and if your husband is right and Hannah's you all over again,

well, you can be or do anything you want to do,

starting now.

And nobody can stop you.

♪

Mother!

- Mother! - Oh, Hannah.

Oh, my baby. Oh, Hannah.

♪

Hannah?

Uh, maybe, uh...

Maybe I'd better go in first and check.

No, we'll all go in.

Mother told me last night.

Oh, all right.

It's the doctor.

Doctor, this is my mother, Mrs. Carson.

How is Daddy? Is he...

He's alive.

And improved?

I wish I could say that, Mrs. Carson.

I can't.

As I told you, he probably had 10 days at most.

I'm still not sure I was wrong.

But you are, you've got to be.

Young lady, I've never believed in miracles,

but I've known some people who could make 'em happen.

We'll see.

In any case, I'm glad you're here, Mrs. Carson.

Is it all right to see him now?

That's better medicine than I could prescribe.

Well come on, Trampas.

No, Hannah.

This is strictly a family matter.

Besides, I gotta be riding on.

You say goodbye to your father for me.

I guess you know that sometimes, there... there's no words.

You've said them.

Trampas?

Is almost 13 old enough to be kissed goodbye?

I still say if you were only 10 years older.

Come and find me in 10 years and...

Or I can find you, wherever you are.

That I believe.

Go on.

- Bye. - Bye-bye.
