Our journey will be over soon.

Good luck.

Mr. Calhoun? Yes, welcome aboard.

Let me give you a hand.

I can manage.

I think you know I'm not to be disturbed.

Oh, Mr. Calhoun.

Yes? Grimes is the name. I represent the South St. Louis Distillery Company.

We make everything from the finest Scotch whiskey to cooking sherry with a

sideline of horse liniment.

What can I do for you? Well, as president of BPS &D, if you would let us

that you drink nothing but golden slipper champagne, we'd furnish you with

year's supply.

I'm afraid that won't be possible. It's against the company policy.

Oh.

Well, you just keep that on the house.

Thank you

Then Gallo

Just a precaution. I have been told this is primitive country.

An added precaution.

I give orders not to be disturbed.

That better be important.

It is, to me.

Your instructions from President Grant?

Yes.

If I'm to escort you to your destination, I think I have a right to

something about you.

That is a request to carry me to my destination in secret.

That is correct?

Right.

Is there something in there that gives you the privilege to question me?

No, there isn't.

If you have any more questions, ask President Grant.

Good night.

Monsieur Calhoun.

Calhoun.

Would you have these shine for me, please?

I'll ask President Grant.

You forgot we were going to have champagne together?

I've been a little busy.

Are you going to be busy all night?

I hope not.

Then perhaps later?

Perhaps.

Why then, maybe the champagne will be a little colder.

Oh, Pierre, they're even more beautiful than you described them.

Every stone in that necklace is fully faceted and over two carats. In

Paris, this will bring even more money than either of us ever dreamed of.

Set as they are or broken up?

The value is there either way.

Why? I don't know very well why.

There is some dividing to be done, no?

I think what I like most about you, Angela, is your trusting nature.

I trust you exactly as much as you trust me.

This is why we work well together.

I have missed you, Angela.

What is it?

Gomez.

Gomez? At a time like this?

What about him?

You're not worried?

I only worry about Gomez when I see him.

You think that separating at the border threw him off the truck?

Oui.

Uh -uh. You think it threw him off your truck, not mine.

You had better get back to your passenger car.

Just remember, Pierre, if he's following me, he's going to find you.

Angela.

Then let us both hope that you are never found.

Is the champagne cold yet?

Probably is.

But unfortunately, it's going to have to be later.

Are you avoiding me for any particular reason?

I'm not avoiding you at all.

What is it?

My car is occupied.

Ben.

If I were in trouble, would you help me?

What kind of trouble could a pretty girl like you get into?

There is a man with the wrong idea about our friendship.

He might be following me.

Try to get me off this train or even kill me.

Let me say this.

As a paying passenger of the BPSV, you're entitled to all the protection we

give you.

And in your case, perhaps even little.

Thank you, Ben.

I know.

He may have recognized me.

He may have.

Well, if he finds me, he finds you.

And if he finds me, the President of the United States has requested that I be

transported safely to my destination.

And me?

The president has made no mention of you.

Very convenient.

So you are protected and I go with Gomez.

And these go with me.

They go with you and me and Gomez if I tell him you are here.

Angela, would you be interested to know what you're going to do about Gomez?

I'd be very interested.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

He's only one man.

If Gomez makes a move to take you, let Monsieur Calhoun know.

As one of his passengers, he will protect you.

I'm sure you have noticed, Monsieur Calhoun.

I've noticed.

The important thing for you to remember, Angela, is that Gomez will not arm you

as long as Gomez does not know I am on this train.

Good morning.

Nice day, huh?

Oh, yes. Very, very nice.

Glad to see you didn't fall off of the train last night.

What?

I came back to the platform and you were gone.

Obviously, if you didn't fall off of the train, you must have gone into the

private car to see LeDuc.

I don't know what you're talking about.

It's not the policy of this railroad to question its passengers.

But this particular instance, no one was to know he was on board.

I still don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, I think you do.

And you're right, sir.

She is Le Druk's lady.

I don't know any Le Druk.

Angela Teran.

It's taken me a lot of time and trouble to find you.

Ben, whoever he is, he's offensive and a liar.

May I ask who you are, sir?

My credentials.

What can I do for you, General Gomez?

General?

Look at him. He's a peon.

I have come to arrest this lady and Le Druk for crimes against the Republic of

Mexico. Can I ask what the crimes are?

Yes.

Le Druk, high treason.

And the murder of hundreds of my countrymen.

And this lady for helping him to steal a fortune and jewels that belong to my

government. Don't accuse me of your fantasies. Now she will say that I have

never seen Le Duc.

And she will be right.

The butcher himself was never seen.

He remained hidden.

But she, she is the key to him.

She was known and followed to your train.

To Le Duc. You are insane.

Mr. Calhoun?

I'm taking them off your train at the next stop.

Nobody's going to be taken off this train without their permission.

Sir, I represent the Mexican government.

And I represent the President of the United States.

I ask you to turn these fugitives over to me.

I can't.

At the risk of causing much violence?

That'll be up to you.

We shall see.

You didn't believe him

Who

is

it?

turned out to be more of a problem than I figured.

Oh? There's a man up in the passenger compartment with the name of Gomez.

General Francisco Gomez. Do you know him?

I know of him.

He wants to take you and Miss Turan back to Mexico.

But you can't allow that.

No, I can't.

Then there's nothing for me to worry about, is there, Calhoun?

I run a small realm.

I don't want any trouble with the Mexican government.

Willie Calhoun, an insignificant man like Gomez.

I don't consider a general in the Mexican army insignificant.

Two months before he became a general, he was an order of sheep.

Well, this sheepherder, as you call him, says that among other things, you're

wanted for murder.

Do you think your president would order you to deliver safely a murderer to his

destination? He didn't telegraph me his thoughts.

That's because I am certain he does not consider me a murderer.

Have you ever seen a slaughterhouse?

Yes, I have.

Monsieur Calhoun, there's nothing illegal about the slaughtering of

there? And revolutionaries are no better than cattle.

Personally, I'd like to throw you off of this train headfirst.

But you can't do that, Calhoun, without disobeying your president, eh?

Ben!

You'd better come with me, Crick. What's the matter?

There are some men on railroad tracks about one mile ahead.

Mr. Calhoun.

Sorry, there are no passengers allowed up here, Mr. Grant.

I'm aware of that, but under the circumstances, I think I better identify

myself.

Secret service, huh?

I was assigned to this train by President Grant to make sure that

reaches his destination.

Thank you.

You seem to be all right up here right now. You might check on LaDruque and see

if he's all right.

That was only the first encounter, sir.

Well, you'd better see to it it's the last.

It won't be the last.

I followed Rook and the woman this far.

I'm not going to stop following them until I get them.

Slow down, Lucas.

You just stop part of it, General.

performance is commendable.

I hope you can do the same.

They'll be back.

Next time, they may take you.

With you to protect me?

That does not speak well for the secret service of your government.

I'm only one man.

Then your superior should have said more.

If you cooperate, you can save your own life.

Oh? Oh.

We know you're carrying a fortune in Jules Latroux.

The Mexican government claims they were stolen.

That is a lie.

Just the same.

Isn't it better to give the jewels to Gomez and get to the California coast

alive? Jewels belong to me.

Monsieur.

What are you doing?

Whether you like it or not, I'm saving your life.

He jumped every office.

Scout blocked the railhead.

Be sure that Dave Tarrant meets me at the junction point and understands this

last paragraph.

It's as good as dead, Ben.

We have to go through the mountains.

Over here.

It's the only way to get to the train.

Of course.

The horses.

This is where we'll capture Le Druk.

In the Brink's depot. Yes.

The Brink's depot.

Let's go!

What's Paris like, Pierre?

Like any other city, if you are poor, but if you are rich, it is the city of

life, the capital of the world.

And we will be rich, Pierre.

Oui, we will be very rich.

Not easy enough, Angela. Give it to me.

Well, they are mine too, aren't they?

I will decide that.

When and where and how much.

That was already decided. We share equally, beloved.

Angela, give it to me.

It would be so easy to kill you.

Not while you need me.

And I do need you.

As an ally and as a woman.

And as a loyal ally, Pierre.

I'm not your woman!

Angela, we should...

Talk it over beloved Of course beloved and

we will in Paris

Then

I was just coming to see you what did you have in mind?

How would you like to be rich?

How rich?

Perhaps two million dollars?

What would I have to do to earn that kind of money?

Kill a man.

Le Drec.

He deserves killing.

And I deserve an explanation.

The two million?

He's got Empress Carlotta's jewels.

He got them when she was a prisoner.

Now she's gone.

And the jewels belong to whoever can take them.

To you, Penn.

And all I have to do to get them is murder a man.

But you can call it execution.

The reason is the same.

Two million.

Because I wouldn't like to wake up some morning with a knife in me.

What? Or maybe a little arsenic in my coffee.

You are laughing at me.

Or perhaps a little ground glass in the sugar.

You make me so hungry I could feel you.

Precisely what I've been talking about.

on the tracks at Junction Point, Mr. Calhoun?

Do we run right over him?

I don't think so this time.

That'll be Dave Terrence.

I brought the horses. Barnabas is checking the line. What's going on

I'll tell you about it on the way.

Barnabas. Yes, sir.

Get a message off the break junction. Tell them we'll be there within the

I can't. The line's dead.

Well, it's probably broken.

Cut.

By who?

A man by the name of Gomez.

Why have we stopped?

We had to pick up two of my men.

This is Dave Tarrant, our chief construction engineer.

Barnabas Rogers, executive assistant.

The spirit of drugs.

A special passenger.

Pleasure. Now, for me, the kindest word I can think of, Calhoun, is stupidity.

You are to get me to my destination, not pick up stray employees.

Really, no need to hurry now.

Gomez is all ready at Briggs Junction.

Congratulations.

Where's Grimes?

He got over at the last station to make arrangements for my journey once I leave

the train.

It's a long way to go.

The president has informed you of my destination?

Yes.

Of course, he would have to.

He has made you responsible for my safety.

What kind of a special passenger is he?

Very special.

President Grant thinks he's special?

I'm afraid so.

And the fact that you dislike me, Calhoun, is not relevant.

Remember, I don't like you either.

Excuse me, sir. Who's after you?

Criminals. That's if you want to call the Mexican government criminals.

The rebel Mexican government. The illegal Mexican government.

Although I admit that is a poor defense if they seize me.

What will they do to you?

Kill me.

With all due ceremony, of course.

Arrest, trial, appeal, then public execution.

He's got to get his hands on you first.

But I'm sure he won't.

I have every confidence in you, Monsieur Calhoun.

Because if Gomez kills me, he will most certainly kill Angela.

If you don't mind, I would like to be alone.

You've got five minutes to get into your trail clothes.

Why? You just keep having coffee.

Who's Angela?

I'm not sure yet.

Part of us.

Did you see if you could find her? Angela Tran is her name. Ask her to come

here a moment. After that, see if you can find a passenger on board with the

name of Grimes.

The Mexican government's after him. Our government's trying to protect him. And

the DPSD is right smack in the middle.

And now that you've met him, how would you like to risk your life for him?

Oh, not very much.

Get killed, your chances of getting hurt are very good.

Will I get a medal or something?

Afraid you won't even get a hero's burial.

Sounds normal.

I guess I volunteer, don't I?

I want you to understand, sir, we are not bandits.

Here, let's look.

In the name of the Republic of Mexico, I arrest you for treason, robbery and

murder.

Enough.

No more water.

Among other things, we're short on water. As well as time.

Well, let's move out.

What about food?

It's jerky. Chew on it.

Interesting. Who discovered this?

Indians?

Of course, for torture.

This is idiotic, Calhoun. We can stop someplace for a meal.

We haven't got time.

I thought time was what your friend was buying for us.

It is. It's getting higher priced every minute.

Now let's move out.

Prepare yourself, Le Duc.

Where are the jurors?

Barbarians.

Oh, no.

Barbarians kill their enemies slowly and painfully.

The way you kill my brother.

The way you kill hundreds of my countrymen.

Your death will come quickly.

I promise you that.

Thank you.

Again, Le Duc.

The jewels.

And again, Gomez, I do not have them. You think we are a very patient people?

Are we?

Like cattle.

General, we have searched the train from top to bottom.

Calhoun, gone.

And the woman, also, General.

I am a very Christian man.

I'm perhaps a hypocrite, because I am ashamed of what we will do to you.

Nevertheless, it is necessary.

Well, as I have decided that you are correct.

You are a hypocrite.

Calhoun!

I order you to make camp.

Calhoun!

We make camp here now.

Talk while you're still able Oh

This one is very stubborn give him another

chance Where are the jewels?

They're on the way to California.

What?

You give the jewels to someone else, LeDuc?

I'm not LeDuc.

He makes fools of us, Canada. No, I don't.

Explain.

I'm not LeDuc.

My name is Dave Terrence.

I'm construction engineer on the BPS &D.

How do I know who you are?

If I had my diploma, gentlemen, I'd show you.

You will do better than that.

Cut him loose.

We'll find out.

This

is

a wood -burning, eight -wheeled rogue locomotive engine.

Having four coupled wheels and a four -wheel swing bolster.

Truck cylinders are 60 inches in diameter with a 24 -inch stroke.

The boilers are Pennsylvania cold glass charcoal iron, 3 -8 of an inch thick.

All the horizontal seams and the junction of the waist and the firebox

double riveted.

Rocksman weight, 65 ,000 pounds.

Anything else you'd like to know?

Yes.

The manufacture of the engine.

Baxter Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, 1868.

Satisfied? Almost.

Start the engine.

Go, hold it. Hold it.

The train running.

Since you helped the troop get away from us, they're going to help me catch up

with them.

Do I look terrible?

No, you look fine.

Matter of fact, you look like quite a woman.

Why? Because I haven't broken into hysterics?

No, because I know you're tired and I know you ache.

Still, you're not complaining.

Muy macho, Angel.

¿Por qué no?

Soy una mujer.

I'm not a toy.

Calhoun!

Just one moment, and we move on.

Le Drogue surprised me a great deal, too.

He's tough.

But I think you are tougher.

We're not having a contest at National.

Ben, you could kill him out here. Leave the body for Gomez.

I won't.

He'd kill you in a minute.

He lied to me.

Betrayed me. And you're mad enough to want to kill him. But I'm not.

And I'm not a thief.

And I am.

I'm being honest with you, Ben.

I want my share of Carlotta's jewels.

I was born in the dirt.

It's been a long journey to here.

To where I can see myself rich.

A lady of quality.

I don't want to give that up.

It's your decision.

Like all women, I want all the prices.

Wealth, yes, but a man also.

Ben, some other time, if I came to you, would you accept

me, knowing what I am?

We can move now.

I'll wait for your answer.

Get out, Ronald.

What are you doing? Give them back to me!

Both of you.

Come ahead.

Ben.

Get out of here.

Thief.

Vaya con Dios, Ben.

God with God might be right.

Will you die fighting for Le Druk?

Will you and your men?

We are strong.

Then take your best shot.

I cannot be responsible for the death of good men because of one bad one.

You've got the jewels.

All right.

We have the jewels.

And the drug is in God's hand.

I pray he closes his fist.

Go, Mr. Cameron.

Guarda eso.

Thank you, Senor Gomez.

You're an honorable man.

We are both honorable men fighting over that butcher.

Go.

I suppose I should thank you, Calhoun, but I won't.

As I see it, you owe me some two millions of dollars.

You can argue that matter if you like.

Oh, no.

I never waste time on useless anger.

And I cherish some small satisfaction in knowing that you have suffered a good

deal for a man you love.

Angela? There is no need for me to go to Paris, Pierre.

Bon voyage.

Good luck, Calhoun.

Angela is charming with her truly incredible capacity for betrayal.

He has not gotten away completely.

The good Lord would deal with him in his good time.

Knowing that does not afford me the pleasure I would get from seeing him

Bonjour, mon ami.

I am Pierre Le Duc in the Foreign Service of France.

We have been expecting you, monsieur.

You are under arrest.

Are you any of your senses?

The government hears about this, you will answer to Madame Guillotine.

It was the government that ordered your arrest, monsieur. You are lying.

You are lying!

God have closed his fist.

Bounce!

That's it.

Where I turn off.

Away from me?

Back to the railroad.

Thank you for not letting Gomez take me.

I haven't got time to be a judge. I've got all I can do to try to finish this

railroad.

You just keep going the direction you're headed.

Come to a little place called the City of the Ancients.

It's a sleepy little pueblo.

It may never amount to much, but I'm sure that a pretty and an enterprising

like yourself would do just fine there.

And will you come on a visit sometime?

Just to see how fine I am doing?

Breath.

Goodbye.

Jess?
