Original subtitles

Better save some of that muscle for later.

You're going to fire the next leg of the run, remember?

Firing is going to be vacation after this.

I'll make you think vacation is far behind schedule as we are.

An engineer will have you hauling up to 20 miles.

Hey, Ben, would you mind taking over here for a minute? I've got to run these

manifests over the warehouse.

Cooperation you two boys are giving each other, I wouldn't think you'd interrupt

me.

I'll take it.

we get a breath of fresh air.

I'm sorry I can't accommodate you, Lenny, but it's not a bad idea.

Happen to have a match on you?

Yes. I don't have one on me for a fact.

But I have some right back there at the office. Well, I don't want to put you in

any bother. No bother at all. No bother at all.

Here you are, sir. Well, thank you very much.

his body's in that box.

I want him treated with respect.

Max, I mean, no disrespect, honey.

Well, lift it.

Never mind.

We'll never make it.

You wait here.

My name is Kinloch.

Morgan Kinloch.

Now, I need a little help getting my papa aboard this train.

I wonder if either of you gentlemen would care to oblige.

Love to.

That is, if my warden will set me loose, this clown will still be making jokes

while I hang him.

Sir, I have a little problem.

Yes, sir, I just overheard.

Surely the station agent or somebody ought to be able to help you?

Well, the station master is a little old for the job, sir.

Well, as you can see, my husband is not a young man himself.

I do hope you'll excuse him.

Oh, really, Catherine?

Now, now, now, now. You mustn't let it bother you, dear. People do get old.

Even distinguished Philadelphians named Falconer.

Maybe I can be... Oh, that's all right. I'll manage. Thank you.

Perhaps you'd care to help me get my father aboard the baggage car.

Go away and let me sleep, friend.

If your daddy's too drunk to get on the train, that's your problem.

My father is not drunk, friend.

My father is dead and in his coffin.

Well, let's hear an apology, friend.

You're muscling my shirt, friend.

There's no call for this.

I'll help you with your father.

Thank you kindly, Trooper.

Would you really have used that thing, friend?

You'll never know how close.

What do you think you're doing?

Now, you did want to brought a boy.

Not without me on the job. I told that old fool to wait here till I got back.

If you mean by that old fool our station agent, he was doing exactly what he was

told to do. He had a problem and he came to me with it. Your station agent? I'm

Ben Calhoun. I own this railroad.

Dave Tarrant, my associate.

We were working on the engine when this came up.

Have you feel we did the wrong thing?

No, not at all. Not at all.

Excuse me. I'll be getting back the engine.

I'm sorry.

Sort of got carried away, went off half -cocked.

Some sorrowing, I suppose.

Oh, I'm most grateful to you for your trouble.

You too, trooper.

No, sir.

What's the fare on a coffin?

I'll figure it out. Give you a wave, then.

Anything wrong?

I just want to check something inside.

Anything you're going to need for your prisoner before we pull out?

I've got all I need.

You've thought of everything.

head of the junction. Tell him to have a classy week.

I hope I'm not intruding.

It's charming in here.

Thank you.

I could be very comfortable here.

Very comfortable and so relaxed.

Well, I agree.

However, I've got quite a number of railroad problems this time, so if you

think that I'm rude, you'll have to excuse me.

You're not going to send me back to that plain old passenger car.

After this?

Perhaps some other time. Right now, I believe it would be quite impossible.

Well, all right.

But don't you forget, I'm on the train.

You work fast.

You're evicting uninvited passengers, maybe.

Evicting that?

That is necessary when you've got other problems on your mind, and I think we've

got a problem. What kind of problem? You remember the Grizzly Peak gang that

held up the territorial bank?

Yeah. Well, I think we've got a whole four of them on board.

The lawman's the same one on the wanted poster?

You sure?

Sure as I can be, without a picture for comparison.

Well, then, if he's not a lawman, this prisoner's not a prisoner.

Can you think of a better way to travel without being detected and arrested?

No.

What about the other two? You think they're on the train? There's no reason

they should split up. Anyone clever enough to think of traveling as a

and a prisoner is certain clever enough to think of something else.

Like traveling with a coffin?

Wouldn't that be a wonderful piece of deception?

Kinloch.

All that grief and sorrow.

If it had been, there was something in that coffin. If it wasn't a body, it

would... Gold.

Yeah.

$200 ,000.

Security. Gold.

That'd keep him hovering over it all right.

And another thing.

He's the only one that was close enough to have taken that poster.

He probably saw me looking at it and didn't want me to get another look.

well, Kinloch fits. There's no doubt about that.

What about the fourth man?

We know the fault. He was traveling on an Eastern ticket.

Which leaves us with the soldier and the sleepy -eyed gent who hates to be

disturbed.

It's you I'm thinking about, Glendaire.

You don't belong in surroundings like this.

You don't belong among people like this.

Catherine, someone might hear you.

Your health I have to watch, not mine.

I'm young enough to endure hardship, but you're not.

Who knows what you could catch?

Cooped up with a jailbird and a common soldier.

Catherine, shut up.

But dear, all I want is to... What do you want, Catherine?

Don't you worry, dear.

I won't go back on our bargain.

No. Not as long as the bonds can be cashed.

Glenn.

How cynical.

Ben, the sooner we do it, the better. Take him by surprise and turn him in at

the junction. You said there'd be a posse waiting.

There will be.

We're going to let the posse handle it.

He's better too clever to try to take my surprise. We'd probably wind up in a

gunfight with a few dead passengers.

It's a risk that I can't take.

But we can't just stand around here pretending we don't suspect.

I'm afraid we're going to have to.

And I don't want them to catch us with any guns either. It could be the match

that sets off the powder keg. What are you going to do?

Get a look in that coffin.

Welcome back. I was about to go looking for you.

Me or for the gold?

Was it in the coffin?

It was in the coffin.

Now what?

I'd better go collect the six dollars before Mr. Kinloch gets suspicious.

Yeah.

Mr. Calhoun?

Would you like a piece of candy?

No, thank you. Mr. Calhoun, I admired your private car so much, I was

wondering... Could you arrange for us to move in there for the rest of the trip?

I assure you my husband can afford whatever you charge.

Dear Catherine, how many different ways are you going to use to drive this way?

Are you uncomfortable, Miss Faulkner?

The lady thinks we're all poison.

You see why this is intolerable, Mr. Calhoun? We must move.

Sorry, ma 'am.

I carry on a good deal of business in that car.

If you'll excuse me.

You know, Catherine, I get the impression that he's disenchanted with

I can't imagine why.

How charming you must have been in your prime, my darling.

Six dollars even.

Not as bad as I thought.

We try to be reasonable.

Sorry about your father.

Thank you.

I respected him all my life.

With him by your side, you could go anywhere, do anything.

He even bought me out of three bad marriages.

Almost as bad as his back there.

I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

Once spurned, but twice tried.

I may do better with Mr. Tarrant.

Mr. Tarrant. Yes, ma 'am.

Perhaps you could be helpful.

I'll be blessed if he tries, ma 'am.

Well, I want to influence you to influence Mr. Calhoun.

Well, I win if you lose if you win.

You see, um...

My husband and I are very uncomfortable here.

It's not the accommodations, it's, um... The BPS &D doesn't pick its

passengers. They pick us.

Well, I would appreciate it very much if you would ask Mr. Calhoun to allow us

to move into his private car.

You'd have to ask him that.

I did, but he refused.

I could make it worth your while.

Well, now, that's not necessary.

But Ben Calhoun makes up his mind. A team of horses can't dislike.

It

looks

like twice burned.

You've got to report it, Glenn.

Why? It doesn't concern us.

I don't want to make any trouble.

My brave young husband.

All right, I'll do. Catherine, you stay where you are.

He has a knife.

And the sheriff is doing nothing about it. I say it's a clear case of a

policeman in league with a criminal.

You're wrong, Mrs. Faulkner.

He's not a policeman.

Matter of fact, they're both outlaws.

We have four outlaws on board, and they're all killers.

Four murderers.

And you're not doing anything about it. We don't want them to know that we know

about it just yet.

We've got a posse waiting for them at the junction.

You only think you have, friend.

You know how you feel about getting a telegram?

It's almost always bad news.

You hate to open the envelope.

But we wanted to make sure that nothing like that would be sent.

So I smashed the telegram.

Soon as you're done...

Kinloch wants to see you up forward.

That's Kinloch.

He moves us around like we're playing checkered.

You want to complain to him?

You know something, soldier?

This weapon is a little too fancy for you.

Haven't yelled uncle yet, have I? No, and I haven't had to yell for one scene.

To make a railroader yet.

How's the water holding up?

Enough to get us to the Mirage Tower tank.

Good.

I'm sure you would like to climb back in the train and send Dave up to spell

you. What for?

Nothing's going on back there.

Get up there and keep an eye on them for the rest of the trip, just in case.

But don't let them see you.

What did they do?

Use your judgment.

Did they act up any?

Nothing to speak of.

He made a little speech.

And I'll make it again.

Unless you men stop this, you'll be arrested and punished, all of you.

You hear that?

We could all get in trouble.

No use stirring them up, mister.

Just take it easy.

Hey, now there is a smart soldier.

I'll give you a piece of advice.

Just keep quiet.

Both of you.

The noise makes him mean.

Go on.

See what I mean?

Don't worry.

The seat can be mended.

But you two can't.

You would do that to us?

I think you would.

What's the score?

Oh, we're way ahead.

Mr. Calhoun.

Surely you and Mr. Tarrant aren't going to allow this.

I've open suggestions.

This is monstrous. I'm not accustomed to being treated like a prisoner.

Is your husband?

I notice you're not asking about him.

My wives were the same way. Never gave me a second thought.

Is Glenn all right?

Up to now.

And now that he's off your mind, suppose you fix us something to eat.

Me?

You mean prepare food?

My dear man, I'm not a scullery maid.

I wouldn't know the first thing about it.

Something to eat.

Now.

Careful, Brandon.

Now that's what I call real neighborly, friend.

Do you even know how to use an eggshell?

An eggshell?

Keeps it from boiling over.

Well...

I

told you I'm not very good.

At cooking.

Well, it doesn't leave you very much to brag about, does it?

Are you always so gallant?

Always.

When I don't like what's being offered.

Would $50 ,000 appeal to you more?

Trade for what?

For my life.

I'm no schoolgirl, Mr. Kinloch.

Now that everybody in the train knows who you men are, it's obvious you'll

us. When you leave so we can't talk.

I don't want to be killed.

You did mention $50 ,000.

50 of them negotiable at $1 ,000 a piece.

When I married Glenn, he was going to buy me the world on a platter.

But all he ever really bought is a ticket from nowhere to nowhere.

See the country, he says.

Traveling the... High and near trails, he calls it.

Cash is a bond only when we're down to nickels.

And I have to threaten to leave him.

It's like... It's like giving a child a gumdrop when he has a whole candy store.

I thought you said these were negotiable.

They are.

Only when signed by him in front of two witnesses. At the time and place of

cashing. With identification.

You think I'm crazy enough to risk forcing him at gunpoint in a crowded

All he'd have to do is yell.

I say

you live mighty high on the hog.

That's as good as I ever had.

Thank you.

Glad to see that you're a man of discrimination.

I would say that a man should never put a brake on his...

Pleasures.

Just on the necessities of life.

Have a drink.

Then you get this thing going again and fast.

We've got horses stashed 100 miles the other side of Broken Ridge.

We want to get to them quickly, quietly, and with no more fuss.

And after you get there quickly and quietly and with no fuss, then what?

have a long train ride back, and we'll be long gone. And we could be long dead.

You could kill us anywhere along the line.

True. But someone just may try to flag us down. I want you alive to deal with

that.

So, you're hostages.

And cooperation will buy you breathing time.

Looks like we've got no choice.

Find the woman.

You two come with me.

All right, get down out of there. Come on.

Mr. Calhoun killed the engineer.

You what?

He was stopping the train and I couldn't make him start it again. You told me if

anything went wrong to use my own judgment, right? I didn't tell you to

the man who runs the engine.

I didn't tell you to strand us out here in the middle of no place.

We're a hundred miles from our horses. It might as well be the moon. What do

mean, stranded? This kid can fire an engine. He can run one, too. Most

can't. Well, this one can't.

I think it'll be up to you.

You can run it, huh?

Come on, Dave.

Not for a band outlaw.

All right, Bunch.

If I didn't, we'd get something in return.

Like what?

Right now, we're sitting ducks for any one of these men with nervous trigger

figures.

If we can get you to your horses, we will.

If I didn't, you'd keep these men from using their guns.

All right.

Just don't try any tricks.

Don't think it's a trick when we have to stop for water at Mirage Tower.

Water? Just a minute. We got to have water or we can't run.

That's right.

No water, no steam.

No steam, we stop.

All right, get started.

As soon as we bury the engineer.

You give me much more palaver, you'll all be for burying.

All right, I'll say this fast.

You heard us talk about a water failure.

Ben's got one planned.

If it works, we'll steal the train back.

All right, what do I do?

Just get ready to run the engine when the time comes.

I'll tell you more later.

Okay, let's do it.

I bet I can offer you a little something to clear the dust, but there's barely

enough for me.

Take that back.

There wasn't enough for me.

You were in the private car?

Yeah, well, I didn't pluck this out of a bird's nest.

How's Catherine?

How's Mrs. Faulkner?

Why do you ask?

This guy all right.

She's his wife.

All of a sudden.

No discipline.

You talk too much, Trooper.

Next time it'll be your head.

Now that we know who's boss, I'll tell you how your missus is.

I'll tell you exactly how she is.

She's making eyes at any man she thinks can help her.

I'm waiting for my turn.

You've got no right to talk that way. Easy.

What can you see in a woman like her, mister?

The way I get it, she only married you for your money.

50 ,000 in bonds, wasn't it?

All right, if it amuses you, yes.

She married me for my money. Now you're satisfied.

Why don't you leave him alone? He's got enough on his mind.

Hey, I got a little something on my mind, too, soldier.

It's a notion to cut you open and see what kind of blood you've got.

If you've got to kill somebody to show how big you are, why don't you choose

Be a small loss.

Mister, you have got yourself a deal.

If you do, you'll have to kill us both.

And I give you my oath, mister. I'll live long enough to break your spine.

Sure you will.

Mr. Kinloch said you might be hungry.

I don't know. I could use a little something.

Would it be all right if I gave some to the others?

Well, let me see how many is here.

Here. You can split that between them.

They can keep it.

Now stop being a hero and eat what you can get.

Listen to the little lady. She makes sense.

I'm not hungry.

Glenn, go ahead and eat it.

I'm sorry, Catherine, for getting you into this mess.

It's too late for that now.

Corporal, what brought you to this godforsaken country?

I'm looking for the graves of my wife and child.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Don't you know where they're buried?

They're on a wagon train.

On the way to Fort Defiance, Arapaho Indians attacked.

They left no markers.

That's what I call a sad story.

Keep that up and I'll get to feeling real sorry for you.

What does someone like you know about feeling?

Well, what do you know?

The little lady has actually got a kind bone in her body.

Before sunup, I'm going to put you to the test about how kind you can be to

me.

You frighten me.

Guilty conscience?

I don't know what you mean.

Oh, that little deal we were talking about in the galley.

The bond.

At least your wife's alive.

Wait a minute. Don't tell me you've changed your mind about

the bonds. There's nothing to change.

You said yourself they can't be cashed without my husband's endorsement.

I've thought of a way that you can sign them.

After you're his widow.

His widow.

But that, that would mean... Uh -huh.

That's exactly what it would mean.

What do you think you're doing?

If you think you can hold us up, I'll see you a little better.

Then what do you think you're doing?

Tightening up the pet cart.

I had to drain off the sediment and the impurities to keep the water pipes from

getting clogged up.

That would reduce the heat factor. Oh.

Do you mind if I...

To get a breath of fresh air.

Why, of course not, dear lady.

Stay close to the car where I can watch you.

What are you doing?

You're not going anywhere.

I would like to pass if you don't mind.

Lady, your footwork dazzles me.

Well, yours does not impress me.

There are a couple of other points in your favor.

I'm not interested in your observations.

But I am interested in you.

Just lay right there.

you mind on other things, I see.

I'm just enjoying the view, stretching my legs.

Well, Lundy, I have no objections to romance.

Matter of fact, I'm a fan.

But at the right time and the right place.

We all have one thing to keep in mind.

So don't be impetuous.

Save your energy.

Stay in line till the job's done.

Right as usual, boss.

Cross my heart.

Thank you.

All right, the show's over. Get back in the cab. I'm finished.

You bet you are. You know, if I had my way, I'd blow you. You'd what?

Kill yourself another engineer?

Help yourself.

Then you and your friends would really be stuck out here.

Thank you.

Yeah, we should be there soon.

Come on, beautiful.

Join the party.

No. Come on. I don't want any, no.

This will stir up your blood.

Better cool him off.

What's the matter, Mr. Calhoun?

You getting an itch for the little lady yourself?

You're going to back him off, aren't you?

Oh, you try.

A little more respect for Brandy, Mr. Moore.

That's pretty good.

All right, let him go.

Looks like we're slowing down again.

All right, Calhoun, move. Where are we going?

Up front.

Find the store, Moore.

Stop here.

He has to. We're out of water. Well, never mind that. Just get going again.

Well, if I do, it'll blow up. Mister, I've been watching you all night, every

move that you made, every thingamajig that you touched, turned, or monkeyed

around with, so you see I can run this thing just as good as you can, which

means we really don't need you.

I told you, if you move that, you'll blow us up.

Why don't you let him go ahead, Dave? Find out for himself.

Hold it. Come on down out of there.

Stay there and watch that gauge, Barnabas. Yes, sir.

What do you mean, hold it? He did the same thing that the engineer did.

us right in the middle of no place.

Looks like it might be for good this time.

Did you fill it up with water at Mirage Tower?

Yeah, sure, and I drained the sediment out of the bottom. Did you close the

vent? Well, certainly. I always do. Well, then what happened to the water?

mind that.

What do you do about it? Well, we walk away while we can, or I'll stick around

here until she blows.

The pressure's in the red, Mr. Calhoun.

How far is it to the back of the spur?

We passed it about a half a mile back.

We went slow using the pressure that we've got now. Could we make it without

blowing up?

Sure, sure, if a guardian angel's handy.

Wait a minute. What is all this? What's this Baxter's spur?

Spur running up to an old mine.

Deserted now, but there's a well there.

Bucket brigade, we could fill that tender in very little time.

Since we know that, we don't need him.

I can run this machine.

Sure you can.

If you're going to move that throttle the way you started to, I hope you've

your prayers.

He never learned any.

All right, Calhoun, show us this water well.

You ride up there in the cab with your crew, just in case anything lets loose.

We'll go where it's safer.

Or maybe some of the others can. Take it.

Soon, brother.

Real soon.

You're going to shoot us all and we're through.

You must be a mind reader.

What's the matter?

You tired already?

Toilet apartment?

Right.

Check it for what?

Heat.

Put too much cold water into hot water and you get a free ride from here to the

Burley Gate.

There's enough of you left.

How does it look?

All ready, Mr. Calhoun.

All right, you and Dave know what to do.

Everybody run! She's gonna blow!

Get inside!

How far do we have to go until we get out of sight?

Get out!

Get out!

Don't shoot! Get out!

Don't shoot, you'll hit Perrine.

Good swap if I can get Calhoun too.

Kill it! Don't shoot!

Is she all right? Yes.

Can't we help the soldier?

I can't shoot without hitting him.

He's breaking his back.

He already did.

Hold it.

I got an idea.

Hey, Cal, hold!

Why don't you come out? Help your trooper hero.

We won't shoot.

You're crazy. He won't fall for that.

It's a trap.

I've set a trap in my home.

Get out.

I'll make you a deal.

You call out this war you've got going, I'll bring the train back. You can take

your gold and get out of here.

Fair enough.

Come take care of your soldier.

That train's never coming back.

We can still take a run at the Falconer bonds.

Calhoun! I'll make you a deal.

The soldier's life for the Falconer's bonds.

I want the Falconer's, you savvy?

Make up your mind quick.

No, no.

You're going to need it, Bert.

You wait while I'm in position over there and then walk out the front door.

Glenn, don't go out there. They'll kill you.

Not me. They'll kill you.

That was the plan. I would inherit the bond and sign them over.

To buy your life from mine.

I understand.

I couldn't go through with it.

Why not?

You lose your nerve?

Kinloch!

My wife and I are coming out.

What did I tell you?

No, Glenn, please don't go out there.

It took a lot of nerve to do what you did.

I want to thank you.

How's he?

He's going to be all right.

Everything's going to be all right.

Isn't that, Glenn?

I think so, Catherine.
