The poet once said, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I'll raise you a thousand.

What poet?

A man by the name of Conley. He was my gang boss until about a month ago when

broke his leg.

Did you have to shoot him?

Not hardly.

I call and raise you.

Five thousand.

I'd have been better off than the nurse who made my cattle.

Well, it beats me.

Mr. Walcott.

All I own is one small silver mine, Calhoun.

I just heard.

Mr. Calhoun's winning.

Big. That leaves you and me, Mr. Calhoun.

And I just raised.

Here. With a piece of paper.

I don't accept IOUs in a poker game, Mr. Patrick.

I have the collateral.

Upstairs in my room.

Upstairs, you say? All right. I'll trust you. Just that far.

He could win close to 50 ,000.

Yeah, I'll lose us 30 miles of track.

I'll call.

Call Black.

King Hyde.

You lose.

As another poet said.

You mentioned something about collateral.

Upstairs. If you gentlemen will excuse us.

Barnabas.

Get this picked up over the car.

Right. Another 60 miles of track, partner. This way, Mr. Calhoun.

Mr. Calhoun, I'll be honest.

It'll take me a little while to get the $5 ,000 together You neglected to

mention that downstairs.

I thought I had the winning hand downstairs But as I said, I'll leave a

guarantee with you while I raise the money Come in

Next, careful.

Senorita Teresa del Santander.

In other words, you have pawned me.

are amused?

No. Not at all.

Matter of fact, I agree with you.

Slavery is illegal.

Besides, I'd rather have collateral than I could put up at the bank.

In other words, no.

Mr. Calhoun, I sell mining equipment.

To raise your money, I'll have to go up to the mining camps.

I can't take Teresa there.

No, you cannot take Teresa there because Teresa will not go one foot with you or

with you.

Good. I don't want the responsibility, but I do want the money.

I see.

You do not trust Patrick to come back unless I go with you. That was his idea.

And what will Senor Calhoun do if I refuse?

Probably shoot me. Good.

Shoot him. I will watch.

Afraid I can't do that either.

Just yet.

One gentleman can't shoot another one in the presence of a lady.

Now, it looks like I'm going to have to go along with you, Mr. Patrick.

But you know how to get a hold of me. Then I guess you'll have to go along

me, Teresa.

Not at all.

I'm going with Señor Calhoun.

Rather than trust you one little inch.

Next time you would gamble me away to an Indian.

Trust me, Mr. Calhoun.

I'll be back in a week.

Querida.

We should have a great deal to discuss.

In a week.

I will send for my luggage.

Señor.

Tell me something, Curry.

What chance would a big cattleman or president of a railroad or a rich

have in a poker game against our great Dan Patrick?

Playing with all the money we could raise, $20 ,000.

I had bad cards.

So why didn't you do yourself good ones?

Calhoun's sharp. He would have spotted me.

You didn't mention that when we agreed to back you. Part of that $20 ,000 was

money too, Curry.

And now all of it belongs to Calhoun.

Ten more.

You realize he must have picked up over $50 ,000.

He did.

Luckily.

Luckily. He won it, he has it.

And Teresa.

All in one place.

Like money in the bank.

All we have to do is make a withdrawal.

Hmm?

Dave left on the work train, boss.

He'll be in Kansas City by Tuesday.

That's good. You can order the rails on Wednesday, and we should be laying them

down inside in two weeks.

Why?

What do we do with her?

I am not her. I am Senorita Teresa del Santador.

And this is Mr. Barnabas Rogers, who will now apologize.

Ms. Santador is going to be our guest for approximately a week.

Oh.

Well, I apologize.

I'll get dinner started.

Unless you can cook.

I am not a servant.

You can't cook.

I can cook. And very well if I choose to do so.

I'm sure of it.

However, it shouldn't be necessary.

I suppose you feel I should do something for your hospitality.

I didn't ask a thing.

What is that vile smell?

Dinner.

cooking bean stew.

No, you are assassinating it.

Hey, what are you doing?

You know something? I don't think I'm going to like your company much.

Perhaps, but that does not give you the right to poison me.

I apologize again.

It's the best meal we've had in a long time.

Thank you.

You're more than a cook, Teresa.

You're a magnificent chef, as well as being a lovely young lady.

Thank you.

Now your luggage is here. Is there anything else you're going to need

pull out?

Pull out what?

This is a railroad car.

We hook onto the train and head for Buffalo Pass.

Don't worry. We'll be back well within the week.

I am not worried.

Marvis, would you ask the crew to get ready to hook on as soon as the train

here? All right, boss.

See you later.

Thank you.

I used to do that for my father.

I will clear the table.

Patrick wants to talk to you outside.

I am not interested.

Patrick said it was important. Something about him catching up to you?

All right.

Up the hills to the west.

I, uh, felt like taking a walk.

Good idea.

Mind if I go along?

Not at all.

Oh, this way.

Perfect. They're both out of the way, and that car's empty.

Get the horses, Curry. Let's go walk out.

There are trees everywhere here.

It is a much kinder country, then.

Mexico?

I have never said I am from Mexico.

I don't want to pry.

You can tell me as much or as little as you want.

I have nothing to tell.

How much longer?

Done.

Got a mask?

Good work.

Let's get the girl. Look, we've got what's important.

I want the girl.

Go get her. We'll keep the money warm.

The horse is ready, boss.

What are you going to do?

To you, nothing.

Except see to it that you don't leave.

Mr. Calhoun, I don't think she knew they were going to blow the safe.

I did not. I did not know.

Maybe not. But you said you saw three men. One of them you thought was

Well, one of mine I know was Patrick.

I'm going after him. And you in charge until I get back or until Dave gets here

and see to it that she doesn't leave.

Yes, sir.

You cannot hold me a prisoner.

Well, you've got a choice.

You either stay here with Barnabas or in a scalp -lock jail.

Then we'd better get out of here.

Calhoun's sure to be after us. So we split up here.

How do we know which one he'll follow?

Watch.

Hey, what are you doing?

He'll follow me.

How do you know?

You left me a warning.

I thought I was being smart.

Where are the others?

On their own ways.

You don't owe them anything, you know.

And I owe you less.

Except maybe for the money.

And you can have that.

All right, boy.

Go home.

We are going east, toward Kansas City.

That's right.

That is the way I wanted to go.

Home.

No.

Look, Teresa, you've got to stop bridling every time I ask a question.

Perhaps you should stop asking questions.

I just want to help you. I am fine.

There is only one thing I need.

To be let go.

Sure, all by yourself.

Without money or friends.

Go where?

Patrick? Hmm?

How long you been his girl?

His girl?

I am not his anything.

He's just a man who helped me when I needed help.

He is a gentleman.

And you're a lady, except you can't tell the truth. And he robbed us and tried

to kill my boss.

I'm sorry.

I am sorry.

I just do not want to believe Patrick did that.

Or that he is a criminal.

Barnabas, I am not his girl.

I believe you.

You think I'm easy.

Some sort of cheap girl.

No, I don't. Oh, I see. You have no respect.

Listen, Teresa.

You do that once more and I'll kill you.

Two bits apiece. Put them in any empty stall and I'll unsaddle them.

Do you know that one?

Haven't had the pleasure.

Belonged to a man by the name of Curry.

He had two friends, Walcott and Patrick.

Sounds like a sociable fella.

Where can I find him?

They don't board their horses with me.

That one seems to know his way around.

Would $10 buy me any information?

Notice the way I walk?

About 20 years ago, somebody asked me a question about somebody else. I

answered. I got a bullet through my kneecap.

I don't answer questions anymore.

I'll make it $20.

That won't make me walk any straighter.

Isn't that Will Curry's horse?

Yes, it is.

Do you know him?

Yes.

I'm Dana Marion.

I own the hotel and the saloon. And the stable.

Pleased to meet you. My name is Ben Calhoun.

Dan Patrick was asking after Curry.

That's a coincidence.

Because I was asking after Mr. Patrick.

Also a Mr.

Walcott. I imagine they're both out at the Walcott mine.

It's three miles north, just off the Arrow Peak Road.

Are you interested in mining, Mr. Calhoun?

I am now, ma 'am.

Thank you.

My pleasure, Mr. Calhoun.

Drop in on your way back.

Thank you. I might just do that.

How much did he offer you?

Twenty dollars.

Let's call that a bargain.

Mr. Calhoun's riding into a very interesting business venture.

Smells great.

My kind of beans do.

I learned to cook for my mother. She is French.

Oh? Then I'm grateful to your mother.

She must be a fine cook.

Yes. She loves to be in the kitchen.

But all mothers are like that. Is not yours?

Well, actually, I wouldn't know.

I'm an orphan.

No family?

But that can be very good.

Good? Not having a family?

Sometimes a family can be like a prison.

The Duane are following you. You have no time to do anything, say anything,

think anything.

So you ran away from him with Dan Patrick.

Yeah.

He offered to help me and I went with him.

He's an outlaw.

Besides, he's too old for you.

I had no choice.

My father is a...

A very important man in Mexico. A fine man.

But he lives in the Middle Ages.

I am to marry a man of the proper station.

A man of my class.

None of this nonsense about love.

And he's concerned about you?

No. He is only concerned about what he thinks is right.

I have an aunt who lives in Kansas City.

She will take me in.

Patrick was helping me to reach her.

And that is the only reason I was with him.

Your only reason?

I bet he had other ideas.

You're a very attractive girl.

Oh?

Yes.

It is very nice of you to say that, Barnabas.

What did you... You said if I did that again, you'd kill me.

Perhaps, but not now.

Well, he's on his way up.

I told you we shouldn't have come here. Best place we could be.

How did he know where we were so fast?

Because I arranged for him to be told where we were as soon as he reached

Peak.

Why?

So he can walk into that mine looking for us.

You're out of your head.

If he's here, that means he's passed Curry.

That means he killed Curry.

But he won't kill us.

Not if we're hospitable.

Walcott, I want you to...

Invite the man in.

As soon as Calhoun walks in past me, I can't miss at ten feet.

What if he starts shooting first?

Good point.

Do you have a safe place to hide this?

Why?

Calhoun won't shoot anyone until he gets his money back.

If it's hidden...

Or if he thinks you haven't got it on you, he'll have to listen to you.

So take my share and hide it.

Now go ahead.

I trust you.

I've got a place.

Hide it with your... You'll never find it here.

Good.

Now just keep on walking.

I'll be aiming right at him.

Doesn't it bother you, shooting a man in the back?

Not as much as it'll bother him.

I'm a survivor, Walcott, not a hero.

I aim to be alive and rich.

Don't shoot, Calhoun.

Don't shoot.

I'm no gunman.

I'm not fit for this kind of trouble.

I've got money problems.

The mine's played out.

Patrick made it sound easy, but I'm no gunman.

Just a thief.

All right, a thief.

So call the law. I just want to stay alive.

Where's the money?

Where's Patrick?

Well, the money's in there.

Patrick wanted me to ambush you. I knocked him out.

I guess I got scared.

I left the money with him.

You don't believe me?

All right, call the law.

Not till I've seen Patrick.

Who?

During a month?

Maybe.

But no food and no water.

We might last a week.

Dynamite brought it down.

And only dynamites could have blasted open.

Barnabas? Your hair is beautiful.

Thank you for coming back to tell me that.

You're welcome.

I mean, no, I... I just wanted to tell you we'll be in Buffalo Pass by morning.

And then I can get a train to Kansas City.

Oh, thank you, Barnabas.

I can't let you go to Kansas City until Mr. Calhoun gets back.

I thought you were my friend.

I see that you were lying to me.

You only wanted to... Well,

you wanted to, too.

What's all the loose rock doing around here?

We had some slippage, so what?

There's a way out.

You better sit down, Gallo.

It'll go easier on you that way.

I'm not going to sit here and starve to death, and neither are you. So what are

you going to do?

We're going to start digging and try to dig our way out of here.

Go ahead.

You better be ready to die now.

Emma, put the thing down.

You're going to work.

Now you start digging.

Don't make any noise.

I had you calling me Dan a while back. Now we're all formal again.

What do you want with me?

Not much for the moment.

You robbed Senor Calhoun's safe. You can understand why I'm here. The one place

no one will think of looking for me is on Calhoun's train.

Did you kill him, Senor Calhoun?

He's dead.

And I've got most of the money.

But every lawman from Fort Defiance to the UP tracks is out hunting me. I hope

they find you and hang you.

I intend to reach Kansas City.

And you're going to help me. I will not.

I saw you and that boy together.

You like him, don't you?

Barnabas, he has nothing to do with you. Not yet.

But either you help me or I'll kill him.

No.

Yes.

You want to shoot me?

What is this, a celebration, huh?

I know what you're doing, Callahan.

Huh? A little pat on the back, a little fret.

You gonna keep driving me?

You know you're driving us nowhere.

And it's close!

Come on, deep down!

Glad Dave has the equipment arranged. I wish I had the money.

You got most of it, boss.

Patrick's still got two -thirds of it, wherever he is.

Teresa, do you have any idea?

No, Barnabas.

None.

I have told you everything.

Well, I know two of his men are dead because you tried to have me killed.

Now I'm going to find him.

That's the one who wanted me to kill, Senor Santander?

No, the older one.

The one who went into the car.

Mr. Benjamin Calhoun.

Two men have been killed, Teresa.

Could easily have been three, and all you can tell me is your aunt's address

Kansas City.

That is all I know, Senor.

She's telling the truth, boss.

All right, then.

That's it.

We'll be in Buffalo Pass shortly, and we'll put you over on Union Pacific at

that point.

Thank you, Senor Catalin. I am grateful.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go change my shirt.

Oh, Senor, I have been using your bedroom. It is untidy.

Last 24 hours, I've been ambushed twice and almost buried alive once. I don't

think a little untidiness is gonna bother me much.

It's not too untidy is it?

If you'll excuse me.

Who are you?

I am Luis de Santander.

You, of course, are Señor Calhoun.

My daughter you have already met.

Papa, Señor Calhoun is not the man who helped me run away.

I am listening, Teresa.

It was another man.

This is why I find you here.

Señor Calhoun very kindly offered me hospitality when the man I ran away

This other man you speak of.

He has a name?

Dan Patrick.

The salesman of mining equipment?

He, of course, is here and will confess his guilt.

But... Enough!

Finish it!

Señores!

I did not want your blood on my hands.

You leave me no choice.

Patrick is here.

On this train.

I had to lie to you. He threatened to kill Barnabas. Patrick is here, but

knows where or how.

Papa,

if you're going to shoot, anyone shoot me.

Believe me or kill me.

Patrick's here. I'm going to fight.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a rather small emergency.

What if I could ask all of you to step back in my private car, please?

No chance, Calhoun.

Now you'll have to come in after me.

He might try to jump.

Not at this speed.

He'll wait till we slow down for Cutter's fill.

Patrick!

Come out or I'll get dynamite and blow you out of there.

And blow up your train, Calhoun?

I'll take that chance.

You keep your talking.

Right.

Patrick!

Teresa told me all about it.

One thing.

You'll never lie to her again.

Barnabas, is it?

You like Teresa, don't you?

I enjoyed knowing her, too.

Buffalo Pass.

The end of the line.

Gracias, senor.

Well, I hope you have a nice trip back to Mexico.

I think we shall.

Your mother will meet us in Amarillo.

I have missed her.

I gave you my word.

In a month, Kansas City.

In a month.

Young man, my daughter will be under the care of her aunt at all times.

Of course, sir. I wish that understood.

Goodbye.

Gracias, senor.

Welcome home.

I'm glad to be back. The equipment's down at the freight depot.

Good. We've got one little problem. They want cash in the barrelhead. No,

thanks. No faith.

None. So what story do we give them?

Washout. Overdue payments. Bridge burnout.

Why don't we try something different this time?

Okay.
