Wee!

This contract, that music, let's sing it.

Before we sing it, we've got to get Apex Mining to sign it.

That's what I'm waiting to hear from Mr. Simpson for right now.

When he signs it, it's going to be a long, smooth run for the BPSD, believe

Nothing interferes. What could interfere? We only got one stop before

Ridge, Morley Junction, and you know nothing ever happens in Morley Junction.

That's a spirit, Barnabas. Upward and onward.

I'll drink to that.

So will I. Go get us some coffee.

We sure live dangerously.

Morning, Ben.

Morning, Neil.

We got a passenger to pick up here?

Yeah, she bought her ticket here the first thing this morning. Her name's

Carter, but I don't know what's keeping her.

Well, I suppose BBS and E can always wait a few moments on the passenger.

Trash them, she's a lady.

Where's she staying?

Boarding house, one across from the livery stable.

Well, let's run over there and see what's keeping her, Bart.

Sure.

Where are you going? I'm leaving. No, you ain't.

Oh, you fool.

Let me go.

Let me go.

birthday Angie

He's in pretty bad shape, Ben. Just below the heart.

All right, let's get him to a doctor.

Afraid there ain't no doctor in Morley Junction. Not since old Doc Harris

on. Your nearest doctor's in Summit Ridge.

You know who this fella is?

Yeah, that's Josh White's boy, Frank.

The ranch is ten miles east of Twin Peaks.

Well, that's the way the devil out. Even starting now, we wouldn't be able to

get out until after sundown.

He's not going to make it anywhere if we don't get him some help.

All right, tell his folks we've taken him to the doctor at Summit Ridge. They

can pick him up there. Some of you folks lend a hand, get him over to my private

car.

I'm not sure.

She was trying to fight him off, and I jumped him.

We fought a little bit, and he pulled out a gun, and I tried to take it away

from him, and it went off. And then you, you started shooting at me. It wasn't

what it looked like.

Then you tell me how it was.

Well, Frank and I have been seeing each other.

I had a special reason for not seeing him tonight.

And then he tried to stop me from leaving.

I'm sorry.

I'm glad you're not hurt.

Yeah, well, I'm glad you're a rotten shot.

All right, Bunkers, let's get these things on board.

Oh, Ben!

Ben! I don't know what's going on around here. I've come near forgotten.

There's a telegram coming for you.

Always excitement around the iron horn.

May I have your steps?

President of Apex Mining Limited.

This company had a board meeting, and they voted unanimously to award the

freight contract to BPSD.

They'd like to have one of our officers at Summit Ridge tomorrow sign the

contract.

Congratulations.

But he's still alive, Mr. White.

They took him on a train to a doctor at Summit Ridge. Who shot him?

Name's Barnabas. Works for the railroad.

Why'd they shoot Frank?

Well, it was over this girl, Angie Carter. Frank was... Where'd they take

I told you, to a doctor at Summit Ridge.

There's a grave out at Summit Ridge.

That'll slow him. We ought to shortcut it. What are you gonna do? Huh? Bring

Frank home. Come on.

Until we get him to a doctor.

I don't think there'll be any complications as long as he stays quiet.

How long have I been on this train?

About an hour out of Morley.

Run away to the doctor in Summit Ridge.

How bad?

You'll be all right.

You just stay quiet.

Like my pa.

We're taking care of that.

Our station master's going over to see you, father.

How do you feel, Frank?

Oh, it's all right if I talk to him, isn't it?

It's all right with me if it's all right with him.

Just don't get him excited.

Look at the fever.

I'm sorry, Angie, for what I've done.

Why didn't you tell me you was leaving?

I couldn't.

Why? Don't ask me. I don't want to talk about it.

Paul found out about us, didn't he?

I seen him riding out to town last night by himself.

He came to see you, didn't he?

He asked you to leave?

No, he ordered me to.

He even offered to pay for my ticket.

Angie, maybe what happened is for the best.

I'm away from him now. I don't ever have to go back.

Just concentrate on getting well.

Right now, that's all.

In my shirt pocket.

Something there for you.

Happy birthday, Angie.

It's beautiful.

Thank you.

That was my mother's.

Will you wear it?

Take this. It'll help you sleep.

Listen, I want you to know I wouldn't have drawed on you if I hadn't been

whiskied up.

I guess I ain't used to it.

I'm not blaming you for what happened.

It was my own fault.

We'll cut across and catch up to Frank in a train up there, at the ridgeline.

And then we're going to get the one who shot Frank.

How is he?

Barnabas just gave him a pill.

He's still feverish.

That'll help.

Just take it easy.

We'll be there pretty quick.

You sure this is the right thing to do?

Birthday take four with Frank shot up and everything? Sure.

It'll ease the tensions until we find a doctor.

Well, it's plain looking and it's three days old.

It's the sentiment that counts, Barnabas, if you say so.

Although I sure never figured to be singing happy birthday to somebody who

almost shot me.

If her aim had been any better, we'd be wailing for you instead of singing happy

birthday to her.

What are you looking for?

Candles.

How many should I use?

How many you got?

Well, when she's under 40, I got enough.

Yeah, now listen, you gotta be diplomatic about this thing. You know,

insult a lady by guessing her age wrong.

Oh, really? Well, give me a figure.

All right, I'll work on it.

I'd say she's 20.

21? Yeah.

Maybe 19, I don't know.

Barnabas, come on now, you're going about this all wrong. Well, what do we

You, you went to college. You ought to know how to handle a situation like

I studied engineering, not etiquette. Well, I say stick them out. Barnabas,

got the touch of a gandy dancer. Now, this is a cake, not rail bed. And these

are candles.

So how many do we use?

All right, we use one for good luck.

Hey, that's brilliant.

Good old MIT.

MIT.

That'll do just fine.

Well, it's not too bad.

It's all right. The candle's a little crooked. What?

Well, I... Yeah, there's one good idea at the bottom.

You know, that cake was really a week old.

Wouldn't have been any good anyway.

Well,

hey, I got something else. What?

Raisin loaf.

Huh? Yeah.

It's even plainer, but it's fresher. All right, now don't manhandle it, huh?

Okay, you put the candle in.

And I'll carry it.

At certain times.

There.

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute. We've got to light it up.

All right, sir. Let's go.

Lead the way.

Happy birthday, Miss Angie.

It's not much of a cake, Angie. It's just a raisin loaf we give to the

passengers.

Another of the services, the BPSD.

Thank you.

That's nice.

Happy birthday, Angie.

Could be happier.

It will be.

You'll see.

Gonna make it.

Stand up to Pa.

Tell him I'm my own man.

Wish we had our music box.

What music box?

Well, that's how I met Frank.

I was working at the general store and he came in to buy one.

We began seeing each other, but his father was against it.

Why? You're not hard to take.

Excuse me, I meant that...

It's all right. I don't apologize for giving a woman a compliment.

But no unhappy thoughts.

It's my birthday and Frank is here.

Make a wish.

Are you on this train?

I'm Ben Callow. I own this train, and you almost wrecked it. Why?

Frank Wyatt's my son.

Why didn't you just flag us down?

Or Wyatt.

Where is he?

In my private car.

Dave, get that cleaned off.

Barnabas, keep everybody on the train.

Folks, everything's all right. Please sit back in the car.

I did. That's why I'm on this train.

Get your boy resting in there, Mr. Wyatt. It's the best thing for him until

can get him to a doctor.

Best thing for him right now is to be with his own folks.

He's getting care and a doctor. Doctor? He don't need a doctor.

Wyatt's always looked after their own.

That boy's hurt pretty bad. He's still got the bullet in him. I'm aware of

Mr. Calhoun.

Boys, go inside and move him out.

If you move him right now, you're going to open up that wound and he can't last

very long.

I don't relish interference from you or her. Move, I said.

If he dies, it'll be on his own land.

Not likely.

I'm as good as any doctor.

I tend to three motherless sons. I'll get the bullet out.

What's the matter with you, Mr. Wyatt?

So fiercely proud you'll risk Frank's life to prove you're right?

You've caused enough trouble, girl.

No, you've caused the trouble.

I don't know why you hate me or what drives a man like you to do what he

but I'm sorry for you.

You've said enough, done enough.

You've lost Frank, Mr. Wyatt.

Wounded or well, you've lost him.

Where did you get that locket?

This girl's a passenger on this train.

And as such, she's entitled to all the protection that we can give her.

And her property.

This ain't her property.

He's right, Mr. Calhoun. It doesn't belong to me.

Emmett, you shouldn't move him.

Move, I said!

Not you.

Get off the train.

Don't try anything.

My son dies, this one dies too.

Just one move and he dies right here.

Now get off the train.

Where's Ben?

He's in there.

Ben?

What's going on? I just saw Wyatt with a gun to Barnabas' head. I tried to stop

him, thought he blew mine off, too. They can't move too fast. That wagon

unloaded my horse for me, will you? We didn't bring it. There wasn't enough

in the baggage car.

Where can I get a horse?

The Harper homestead, just off of Sands Point. I'll go with you. You stay right

here. Stay with this train. When you get into Summit Ridge, tell the sheriff

what happened.

No, Barnabas means just as much to me as he does to you.

I'm sure he does. And it'll be three against one.

I can count, and we've also got a contract to sign at Summit Ridge.

Barnabas comes first. Of course he does.

I'm not asking you. I'm telling you.

Now, I'll meet you here on the return run. Give me a couple of blasts on the

way.

Get a drink down, son.

We still got a long pull to get there.

Now you take it easy.

You're with your family.

And we're taking you home.

No, Frank.

What's he doing here?

Now just take it easy, son. Why is he tied?

After what he's done to you.

You thirsty?

Now go on, drink.

The water's right there.

You've got a real good sense of humor, mister.

Pa, let him go, please.

Don't talk, son.

Give him the water and let him go.

It wasn't his fault.

I'll give it to him then.

I'll do it, Frank.

That's enough.

Let him go. No.

You're too good.

Even to your enemies.

You're learning the hard way.

It's as sinful being forgiving as it's righteous to protect the ones you love.

But it was my own fault.

He's right, Pa. Let him go.

Oh, Emmett, hold your tongue.

I've enough trouble getting back there.

How are you? Ben Calhoun, BPSD Railroad.

Whit Hopper.

You got any horses for sale around here?

No reason to sell horses in my business, Mr. Calhoun.

Them there in the corral of Saddlebrook can take your pick.

What about the brown one?

Oh, he's fit.

Not as gentle as most.

What are you asking for?

Seventy dollars.

Well, I'll throw in a saddle bridle, too All right, you've got a deal You're a

tell that behind the barn door

I had a peculiar man out in this country without a horse.

Where you heading?

Wyatt Ranch.

I'd be much obliged if you could show me a little shorter route other than going

through Twin Peaks.

In a hurry?

Yes, one of my men shot young Wyatt.

Frank was?

It was an accident, but I don't want to let the situation get any worse than it

already is.

You're going to have to find your own way, mister.

Look, now, I don't know who's right or wrong.

But I ought to keep my nose clean. I do business with Josh Wyatt.

Now, he's a good man.

But he can also be a vengeful one. I don't want to cross him.

Here's your money back, mister.

I'm sorry.

We made a deal.

My horse.

Now, look, take your money.

We're home, boy.

Yeah, you and Emma take Frank inside.

You've got to make par C.

I will try.

But you've got to rest now. Don't worry.

Water's clear and cool.

My boy's painting.

And you're going to paint, too.

Before I'm through with you, you'll know the devil's all anguish.

I've met the devil, Mr. Wyatt.

Walks and talks like a man, and he's got a son that don't respect him any more

than I do.

Oh, you've still got a lot of spunk left in you, ain't you?

Good. I don't relish breaking into a weak -kneed cult.

But you'll need more than spirit to see this day through.

Now get back up on your feet.

Paul, come quick. Bleeding started again.

My boy's bleeding.

Now you hear this.

You... If he goes, you won't just die.

But you'll wish you could.

I promise.

Cal.

Keep an eye on him while I tend Frank.

Sheriff Barton.

My name is Tarrant, sir. Dave Tarrant.

I'm with the BPSB.

Something I can do for you, Mr. Tarrant? Yes.

Our train was stopped. Two men were taken off. Taken?

Well, they were involved in an accidental shooting up at Morley

Who was it that was shot, Mr. Tarrant?

His name is Frank Wyatt.

One of Josh Wyatt's sons.

Yes, sir. You know him?

Some. The boy dead?

No, no, but he's pretty badly wounded.

What is it you want from me, Mr. Tarrant?

Your help, Sheriff. The president of our railroad, Ben Calhoun, rode up after

them. He's alone.

And you want me to organize a posse and ride out there?

Yes, of course.

I'm afraid I can't be any help to you, Mr. Heron.

You can't?

What do you mean you can't?

You can't or you won't.

Well, Josh Wyatt's place is homesteaded. It's on government land.

It's out of my jurisdiction.

That's a legal technicality, Sheriff. You can't hide behind that.

I think you'd just better simmer down.

Don't the lives of two men mean anything to you?

Mr. Tarrant, if you want some help, I suggest you wire the U .S. Marshal's

office at Porterville. That's two days' ride from here.

Maybe, Mr. Tarrant, if your railroad had had the foresight to lay track up

there, why, you might have cut that time in half.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got work to do.

What is it about Josh Wyatt that makes you all run scared?

Get out of here, Tarrant, before I invent a law and throw you in jail.

I'd take you up on that, Sheriff.

If it would get you off your scared rump.

But I see you're too fat on both ends to do any good.

It's out.

You think you'll be all right?

Feel here with rest care and faith

Frank

You're gonna be all right bullets out You

remember when you was a young and you could hold busted up on that horse rode

you I took care of you then I'm gonna take care of you now

Looks like he's going to make it.

If he don't, there'll be two for burying.

Mr. Tarrant?

That's right.

Harry Simpson, President Apex Mining. I came right down as soon as I got your

message. Well, how do you do, sir?

Not too well at the moment. I've been waiting down at the mine until you sent

for me.

As a matter of fact, I've been waiting for nearly two hours until some officer

of this company kept an appointment.

I'm sorry, Mr. Simpson, but something of a very personal nature came up to

detain me.

It was important.

More important than signing a contract with my company?

At the moment, sir, yes.

It wasn't intentional, but it was important.

I don't like your attitude, Mr. Tarrant.

As a matter of fact, if that is the general attitude of this railroad, I

as well take my business elsewhere.

Where will you take it, Mr. Simpson?

We have the only railroad that runs a spur line anywhere near your mine.

Our time will cut any wagon freighting company by three days, and our rates are

cheaper.

You are an impertinent young man.

I don't mean to be, sir, but it seems to me that the BPS &D and your company

need each other.

Now, if you've got those contracts, I'll be glad to sign them.

I have those contracts.

That copy right there.

I can just sign.

My copy.

Thank you very much, Mr. Tarrant.

Hello, Dave.

Oh, Angie.

I was looking for you at the cafe. I wanted to say goodbye.

Oh, I had to come back here and load a horse.

If Barnabas and Ben aren't waiting when I get to the Ridgeland, I'm going after

them. What about you?

What are you going to do?

I'm staying here.

If you can get word to Frank, please tell him I'm in Summit Ridge.

I'll do what I can.

Thank you.

Goodbye, Dave.

Goodbye, Angie. Maybe I'll see you on the next swing through.

I'll spell you. Go in and see your brother.

How is he, Pa?

Could be better.

Do something for me, will you?

Sure, Frank.

In the bureau.

Bottom left -hand drawer.

Under my shirt's music box.

What?

Music box.

Get it, Cal.

Angie sold it to me.

Paul know about it?

No.

What you want with it?

Reminds me of her.

Paul won't like that.

Of her.

Our ma.

I didn't think you'd remember her.

You were just a little shaver when she... When she what, Emmett?

Died?

No.

She didn't die.

You're the oldest. You'd know.

She left, didn't she?

She left.

Look, Pa don't like we should talk about her.

Do you know where she is?

No, it's... I lost touch.

It was a long time ago.

I don't think Pa took that bullet out so good.

You hush, Frank.

Listen.

Something should happen to me.

You two look for her.

Will you?

Promise?

We'll look.

I got that hankering, too.

I remember music.

Like it's in this box.

She had one like it.

Put it away now, Frank. I'll see it.

Cal, I'm not scared of him no more.

Don't you be.

It means well, Frank.

What he means and what he does.

You're gonna get well, Frank.

And maybe all of us will stand up for ourselves.

You too, Cal.

I'd like to, Emmett, but you know Paul, he always... It's gotta come sooner or

later. What he's doing to that poor kid out in the yard right now?

He's still here?

Paul won't let him go.

He's got to, he's got to.

It was my own fault. What happened?

Don't rile yourself, Frank.

We'll do something.

But Pa's got the key to the lock.

Chained him?

Like he done us when we was kids? When we was bad?

Easy, Frank.

It's wrong.

So wrong.

You tell Pa.

I want to see it.

Frank, tell him.

Think maybe we could talk to Pa?

Sooner or later, somebody's got to.

Car table set.

Some deed?

He's not going nowhere, Pop.

Where'd you get that boy?

I bought it a while back.

I've never seen it or heard you play it before.

It's because I always waited till he was gone.

Off to town, away with the herd.

Why?

Because I knew it would remind you of her.

Right.

I don't think I'm going to get well.

At times I can feel it.

Like I'm sinking down to a place that's dark.

Don't talk like that, son.

There's something I've got to know, Pa.

You never told me why she left.

It was like she was never here.

Like I never had a mother.

I never wanted you to know about it.

Please.

She worked in one of those saloons in Mason City.

More than fancy dresses with the silver beads.

Oh, she turned my head all right.

Mine and every man that rolled through that town.

She was a pretty woman, Pa.

Can't blame her for that.

Like it was wrong being pretty.

I'm trying to tell you what she was, son.

What she was.

I heard you say it.

How many times I heard you say it?

She was no good. She was dirt.

She was my mother.

That don't change what she was.

Then why did you marry her?

I was young like you.

I loved her.

Even knowing about her. Then you three boys came along.

And I began to think back.

About her and what she was.

And it began eating at me until I could think of nothing else.

You run her off.

Like you did Angie.

Like you would anyone else that comes around us.

When are you going to realize we're grown?

I run that girl off for your own good.

You got no schooling.

You don't know anything but ranch work.

Why, you go off with that girl and take on somewhere as a hired hand?

How long do you think that kind will stay with you?

I don't know, Pa.

And I don't guess I'm ever going to know.

Frank, you rest in men.

Pa, give that boy a horse and let him

go.

I ain't letting him go until I know exactly how you're turning out.

Nobody crosses a Wyatt.

Somebody's coming.

That's far enough, Calhoun.

If you take one

more step and I won't miss.

Hi, Zunar!

Just take it easy.

Drink slow.

This isn't even done to animals.

You box yourself, Calhoun.

You won't get out of here alive.

What's the matter with you?

You're out of your mind.

You almost killed your own boy by moving him 20 miles in his condition.

And now you leave this boy out here to die like he was some sort of a criminal.

Here's the blind. You can't see what you're doing.

Your hate is killing, Frank.

Look what you're doing to your other sons by making them a part of this.

And it's not going to stop here.

You're going to have to kill Barnabas, then me, then you're going to have to

kill the others that come looking for us.

Scatter, boys.

I got them good this time.

We ain't killers, Pa.

Move, I said.

Pa, don't.

Get back in bed.

Cal, let me.

Get him back in bed.

No.

Pa.

Can't you see?

You lost us all.

He's dead, Pa.

Give me the key.

Take your friend. Mr. Cowan and you'll need another horse.

It's a little enough we can do for what we put you through Thank you
