Original subtitles

Better separate, Devon. That posse's closing fast.

Suits me.

Give me the saddle bags.

Be a fool to split with a young greenhorn like you.

[ gunshots ]

Mike, hang this on the fence.

Okay.

You ain't kidding me, are you, Slim?

Miss Daisy's riding all the way to Cheyenne?

Yep, got some shopping to do.

Here she comes now.

Great day in the morning, I'd better dust off them seats.

Slim.

I hope that Mose will keep that thing on the road.

He kind of comes unhitched when you're around.

Oh, now.

Howdy, Miss Daisy.

Good morning, Mose.

Sure glad you're going to be aboard, ma'am.

Ooh.

Thank you.

[ laughing ]

Slim, you better go in and talk to Jess.

He's getting stubborn again.

Oh, no.

We can't let him back out now, what would Mike think?

Oh, you're right.

I'll get him one way or the other.

Are you coming?

Daisy went to a lot of trouble to take you to Cheyenne.

You can't back out now.

That's real easy for you to say

when I'm the one with a sore tooth.

All you have to do is go to the dentist with her

in Cheyenne.

He'll fix you up.

I'd rather go to the doc, Slim.

Look, he won't be back to Laramie for 6 weeks.

We've been all through this, Jess--you can't wait that long.

I can wait.

You're setting a fine example for Mike.

He sees you balk, we'll never get him to a dentist.

Now come on.

[ sighs ]

It'll be my pleasure to introduce you around Cheyenne,

Miss Daisy.

There ain't many that knows that town the way I do.

Oh, well, thank you, Mose.

Oh, here's Jess.

Now you be a good boy, darling.

What you got on your hair, Mose?

Sure smells funny.

Well, I just put a little hair tonic on, son.

I ain't hankering to be smelling of horses

and harness leather for the rest of my life.

Do I really have to, Slim?

Yes, you really have to, Jess.

Better get rolling, Mose.

Everybody is in such a hurry.

Now you two take good care of each other.

We will.

Good luck.

Go on, go on.

Oh, Miss Daisy.

Go on.

Oh. Stage will be leaving in a few minutes, Miss Daisy. I just thought I'd warn you.

Don't worry, I have most of my shopping done.

How do you feel?

Oh, much better, thanks.

Good, you wait here, I'll be right back.

Perhaps you'd like to meet Miss Jenkins.

She is a wonderful person, single too.

Some other time, huh, Miss Daisy?

I don't feel so good right now.

Oh, but I thought you were feeling better.

Well, it comes and goes, see, and right now it's back.

What a shame.

I'll hurry.

Hold it, mister!

[ glass shattering ]

[ clicks ]

Come on out, mister.

You can't blame a man for trying.

Don't count on it.

Come on.

Oh, thank you.

I sure do appreciate

you agreeing to let Jess help me out, Mrs. Cooper.

Well, I'm afraid I can't take any credit for that.

He wouldn't have had it any other way.

If I'd have known Jess was in town,

I'd have deputized him

to take Devon to Laramie in the first place.

Are you sure he is one of the men

that robbed the Laramie bank?

Well, the description sure fits, ma'am.

As I told Jess, I had a posse trailing the two of them.

They split up.

The other fella got away with the money.

We caught up with Devon over by Jubilee

between here and Laramie.

We didn't come through any place called Jubilee.

No, ma'am, you didn't,

it's a deserted mining town on the old road.

Are you going to stand there all day, sheriff?

Least you could do when you ask a lady to leave town

is open the stagecoach door for her.

I beg your pardon.

Sure you wouldn't rather take a later stage?

Mercy, I wouldn't miss this for anything.

There's Jess.

Is that the man with him?

That's him.

Hobey Devon.

Better get aboard, Mrs. Cooper.

Sorry about the lump, sheriff,

especially since it didn't do neither of us any good.

You'll get your lumps where you're going.

Yeah?

Only I'm not there yet, am I?

Inside, Devon.

Bates.

Hold the coach!

Hold it, hold it!

Thank you, sheriff, thank you much.

Good luck, Jess.

Sure appreciate you helping me out.

Glad to help you out, sheriff.

Unexpected pleasure riding with you, Opal,

and these fine folks.

Hmm, speak for yourself, Frazer.

Say, where'd you get enough cash

for the stage fare anyway, huh?

Lady luck, my dear, lady luck.

I hear you didn't pay for your trip.

Oh, shut up, Frazer, I didn't steal that miner's poke

and you know it.

If you were falsely accused, my dear,

you should have appealed to the sheriff.

Oh, please don't "my dear" me, lady.

You wouldn't have any idea of what I was talking about.

Now, Opal, the lady is only trying to be nice.

Clemson Frazer, ma'am, at your service.

Don't mind Opal, she's a bit upset, Mrs...

Cooper, Daisy Cooper.

Pleased to meet you, ma'am.

Clemson Frazer, sir.

[ chuckles ] Seems we ain't appreciated much.

You're that Hobey Devon, ain't you?

Could be.

I've been hearing a lot about you in the last few days.

Did you really get $20,000 from that Laramie bank?

What do you think?

[ horse neighing ]

Devon's on the coach headed for Laramie.

Sheriff deputized a ranch hand named Harper to take him.

Just one deputy?That's all.

There's a driver, man passenger, two women.

We shouldn't have any trouble getting him off

with the help we got aboard.

Sounds good.

We'll ride across the foothills and throw up a roadblock.

DRIVER: Whoa! Now settle down! Whoo!

Just sit back, deputy.

And keep your hands in your lap.

If this is your idea of a holdup, mister,

you're liable to be a little disappointed.

Some friends of mine will be here shortly

and you can take it up with them.

There ain't nothing on this stage worth stealing.

Oh, yes, there is.

Something worth $20,000.

You shouldn't have held out on Burrows that way, Devon.

What do you know about Burrows?

Oh, I did some favors for him in the past,

and this payoff ought to be mighty good.

Who's Burrows?

Devon's partner in that bank job.

Only he didn't get the money

the way everyone thought he did.

But he'll probably be here later.

Like I said, you can ask him.

And he'll probably ask you some questions too,

and you'd better know the answers.

Whoa!

Stay put, deputy, stay put.

Broke the trace, we're gonna have to fix it.

All right, everybody, move it now.

What in top hat's going on here?

I'm not sure, Bates, but whatever it is,

it means trouble.

How long will it take you to fix that trace?

Oh, it shouldn't take long.

I can get it back together some way.

What was he doing, trying a holdup?

No, not exactly.

We'd better wait outside while you're fixing it.

We'll be sitting ducks in here.

You first, Miss Daisy.

What kind of trouble are you expecting?

A gunman named Burrows is out to take my prisoner.

He's got some men with him.

Outside, Devon.

This gent tipped his hat when you started to pull up.

Thought it was his friends stopping the coach.

Over there.

What are we gonna do, turn back?

I'm not sure yet.

Climb down, Frazer.

That'll be enough of that!

He had it coming and more.

You just let me handle it, huh?

Come on, miss.

Mm, ladies first, huh?

Just stand over by your friend Frazer.

Look, I didn't have anything to do with this.

A waste of time, lady, he ain't worth it.

All right, Frazer, what was the plan?

I don't know, I don't know.

Frazer.

Well, as it didn't work out, won't you help us now?

I was supposed to keep you covered

when the stage was stopped.

Burrows and his men were gonna take Devon

and make him show them where he hid the money.

Where were they gonna stop us?

I don't know, some place between here and Laramie.

Where were they coming from?

Nobody ever told me.

A big fella named Truk gave me money enough

to pay for the stage in-in Cheyenne.

That's all I know, I swear it!

We can't turn back.

They could be in back of us by now.

Yeah, and they could have cut across the foothills

and be in front of us too.

How far is it to the Jubilee turnoff?

A mile or so.

You thinking of taking the old road into Laramie?

Maybe, take longer

but it might throw those hard cases off our trail.

Nobody living in Jubilee,

that road could be in pretty bad shape.

DEVON: It's passable.

Might be slow but it'll get you to Laramie.

We'll try it, Bates.

Get that trace fixed in a hurry, huh?

Sheriff tells me the posse caught up

with you over by Jubilee.

Don't figure on getting off there, Devon.

I haven't any notion what you mean, deputy.

Just a warning,

in case you left anything there.

Can't figure what's holding them up.

Should have been here long before now.

Yeah, well, if that Frazer slipped up,

he's sure gonna wish he hadn't.

One way to find out.

Yeah.

It shouldn't be too difficult to pick up their trail.

But remember, I want Devon alive.

It's about ready, Jess.

Right.

Are you sure you can handle things inside, Witmore?

No problem.

[ indistinct ]

If Burrows does show up,

how about turning Devon over to him?

What he deserves.

Maybe so.

As long as we got him, they'll take it easy on us.

They want him alive.

DEVON: Seems like I'm your ace in the hole, don't it?

You know, if Burrows was to take me,

he wouldn't think twice

about leaving the rest of you for the coyotes.

He's about as low as they come.

[ scoffs ]

Since you double-crossed him, what does that make you?

He threw down on me, tried to take all the money.

Settle back, Devon.

Don't worry about him, ladies,

I know his kind inside and out.

Now what's that supposed to mean?

Well, maybe you didn't recognize the name.

Witmore, Matthew Witmore.

Oh, yeah, I should have known.

Territorial prison.

Are you the warden?

The one they call "The Whip"?

I've heard some of the boys up there call me that.

Anyone gets out of line,

they generally find out whether it's true.

BATES: Jess,

did the best I could with this tug.

It's still kind of weak-like.

Good, Bates. All right, climb aboard.

We're rolling.

Over there, Devon.

Now don't you worry about a thing, Miss Daisy,

I'll be riding shotgun with the driver.

Worry? Me?

It's the most interesting trip I have ever taken.

Giddyup there, Tony!

Oh!

I'm sorry I can't let go.

You better hold it.

You're pretty good at reaching for other people's property.

Never stole before,

never would this time, but I was at the end of my rope.

At your age?

Since '65, ma'am, I ain't had more than $20

at any given time.

I've done everything I could to earn it straight.

For me it just don't work.

Amen, brother.

What was your plan?

Serve your time, come back for the money?

Might be worth it.

Not at my prison.

I've been through worse.

Yeah, where?

Prisoner of war at Camp Douglas.

The way the North ran that place made Andersonville look like a Sunday picnic.

That may be. The way I heard it,

there was a bank teller killed in that holdup.

Maybe they'll hang you before you ever get to us.

That was Burrows doing, not mine.

Last time I killed was at Chickamauga.

Were you at Chickamauga?

Yes, ma'am,

General Bright's brigade, Tennessee Army.

Why do you ask, ma'am?

My son was there.

He was under General Thomas, the Union Army.

He was killed there.

[ marshaling horses ]

I don't know which is gonna give out first,

this coach or me.

Oh!

Just keep your seats.

Well, now what do you think we are trying to do?

Watch out for that rut!

Hold it, friend.

Toss that gun aside.

Now climb down.

Hold it.

Well, let me help Jess, he's hurt.

Never mind him, we've got other things to do.

Frazer, get Witmore out here.

After that, get the keys to these cuffs from the deputy.

Hurry it up, Frazer!

Okay, uh, Opal, help me, lend me a hand, will you?

You, uh, don't think

you're going to get away with this, do you, Devon?

Right now, I'm letting these guns do my thinking for me.

Oh, oh, I'm faint.

[ gasping ]

Sit right there, right there.

[ gunshot ]

Hold it, Devon!

Oh, Jess.

Thanks for the help, Miss Daisy.

I didn't know what else to do.

When in doubt, faint.

Good going, Jess.

I'm sorry about the wheel but when that tug broke

I couldn't do anything with the team.

That's all right, Bates.

What are we going to do now?

I don't know.

Let's take a look.

You all right, Witmore?

I'll make it.

But that wheel won't.

I figure Jubilee is just over that rise.

We still got the horses.

Yeah, four of them and seven people,

two of them women.

Condition this Jubilee road's in

it's no place to be riding blind.

We'll walk into Jubilee.

If you want a ride so bad,

you're welcome to fetch yourself after we get there.

See if you can get those horses ready, will you, Bates?

BATES: Sure enough.

Get anything we need out of that coach, will you?

Canteens, blankets, anything we can use.

You figure you're in charge now, deputy?

That's the way it is, Witmore.

And this backs me up.

But I'm willing to take it off if you want to argue the point.

Give him a hand, will you, ma'am?

If it hurts, grit your teeth.

Does it?

No, ma'am.

That's what my ma used to say

whenever I'd stub my toe or get a knot.

Grit your teeth.

It helps.

Really it does.

Your mother live out west?

No, ma'am, she died during the war.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was gone.

When I got back...

there was nothing.

I've been drifting ever since.

I guess when old Witmore gets me

in that prison of his my drifting days will be over.

I'm not sure it's ever too late to start over,

make up for your mistakes.

Who'd believe I'd ever want to do that?

I would.

It don't make sense,

them wheel tracks take the Jubilee cutoff.

Yeah, they must have smelled a nice little old rat.

Yeah, a rat by the name of Frazer.

Yeah.

Come on.

Hey, you ain't aiming for us

to navigate this road in the dark, are you?

You got a better idea?

I got no use for walking, I can tell you that.

Come dark, you could snap a horse's leg real easy--

All right, we'll take it real easy.

They can't move any faster than we can.

You sure you don't want to wait till sunup?

I'm leaving right now.

Jess, if we're gonna stay in the saloon,

you want me to tie the rest of horses round back?

Yeah, I guess we'd better.

Put them someplace close but out of sight, huh?

Sure enough.

I hope you know what you're doing,

going back the way we came.

That old road gets worse between here and Laramie.

At least I know what to expect if I go back.

Does that include Burrows and his men?

I don't think they'll try to move at night.

Yeah, well, just the same, I'd keep an eye out.

Yeah, you better do the same. Give me a leg up.

We better get inside.

Gonna hang that lantern out

so Burrows and his men can ride right in on us?

We'll stay in the back room,

we can block out any light in there.

Don't worry about your friends getting to you, Devon.

I'll be right beside you all the time.

Thanks, deputy.

I'll also be right beside you if you try to get to the money.

The money?

It's here in Jubilee, ain't it?

You seemed kind of anxious-like to come this way.

Besides, the sheriff told me the posse caught up

with you around here.

It all adds up.

It's a pretty good size town.

Go on and look for it.

You want that money to rot, Devon?

Just like you will in a cell?

I'll be back for it one of these days.

Help me get this stuff inside.

Come on, Devon,

we don't have to take it out on her.

Oh, thank you.

Don't mention it.

Would you light the way, Miss Daisy?

This ain't gonna work, Burrows.

One of the horses already started to pull up lame.

All right, we'll camp up ahead here till daylight.

Camp over here.

Even at Judgment Day, Miss Daisy,

you'll be tidying things up before you go.

And you and Slim and Mike will be coming right along

behind me mussing them up again.

Well, things seem quiet enough in here.

I'm gonna check outside, see how Bates is doing.

It's getting cold, you'll be needing these.

Why, thank you, ma'am.

It was either stay here and freeze to death

or try escaping.

This kinda changes things.

You know, I'd forgotten all about those.

But I'm not worried.

You're both nowhere near as bad as you make out.

Excuse me, I want to go and cheer up Mr. Frazer

if I can.

I don't know how to take her.

I wish I never met her.

She's my ma and preacher back home,

schoolmarm,

first sweetheart all rolled into one.

Oh, come on.

You're not gonna let her stop you, are you?

You've been doing an awful lot of talking

without making much sense.

Of course the money's here,

but it might as well be in Siberia.

Listen, if I help you get out of here,

will you cut me in on it?

You got the money hunger too, huh?

When you can't do it any other way, you steal.

Yeah, I got the hunger.

So you did take that miner's poke, huh?

Oh, look, he had it coming to him

just the way you said Burrows did.

All right, all right.

No point in us fighting.

Well, will you cut me in?

Sure, why not?

That money is an awful long way from here,

even though it's just down the street.

Does this bring it any closer?

Closer than I ever figured.

That deputy comes in here alone,

you can get the drop on him easy enough.

Then jumping the stage driver shouldn't be too difficult.

I'll get him over here.No, wait, wait.

No, I'm not going to wait.

Burrows could be on his way.

Deputy!

Deputy, I don't feel so good.

What's your trouble?

It's not mine...

it's yours.

All right, lift your hands now nice and slow.

You're making a mistake, Devon.

Maybe, but it's done now.

Come on over to the table.

Come on, move along.

Opal's gonna need light to get these bracelets off

once you give her the key.

All right, where is it?

You're the pickpocket, you find it.

I'll just do that, deputy.

DEVON: Don't move.

Do as he says, Miss Daisy.

Hobey Devon, you give me those guns.

You stay back, Mrs. Cooper.

Hobey, the guns now.

Stay where you are, Miss Daisy.

Don't move, Harper.

I'll drop you right where you stand.

I don't think you will.

You haven't killed since Chickamauga, remember?

That doesn't mean I can't do it again.

I think it does.

You had good reason then, you haven't any now.

I think $20,000 is good reason enough.

Don't listen to her, Hobey.

Do you really want to make him a killer?

I thought as much, I'm glad.

You see, I'm not the only one who cares what happens to you.

I'll take the guns now.

Thank you, Hobey.

You won't regret it.

Hope you're right, ma'am.

Well, you're real proud of yourself, aren't you?

I'm sorry, Opal,

I just couldn't go through with it.

Well, now there's a saying men seem to be pretty handy with.

"I couldn't go through with it."

Well, I guess I couldn't go through with it

either this time.

But I was sure hoping that I had found the man who could.

Well, I've been wrong before.

[ horse approaching ]

What's up?

A rider coming.

Wake the others, tell 'em to spread along the road

and take it easy.

It might be Devon making a break for it.

Right.

[ grunting ]

Well, I'll be.

You know him?Yeah.

I wasn't sure when I seen him get on that stage at Cheyenne.

But I was right.

This here, boys, is The Whip.

Mr. Matt Witmore hisself.

The warden, are you sure?

You want to see my back?

I got the scars to prove it and he done it.

Why, you--Wait, wait.

From that coach, you know where Devon is.

Let's start talking, Witmore.

Truk, you want to make him talk?

Ain't nothing suit me any better.

The earlier start we get, the better.

We have to double up on our horses,

so it will be slow going.

You think Witmore made it?

We can only hope he did.

What's on your mind, Devon?

Well, I got something to say.

Make it fast, we ain't got much time.

It was a long night.

I-- I didn't sleep but I did some thinking.

Mrs. Cooper here made me realize

I've been on the wrong road.

I think it's time I got back on the right one.

Now before we leave, I'll take you to the money.

You can return it.

[ gunshot ]

[ gasps ]

Witmore didn't make it.

Now we really got trouble.

Deputy?

Deputy!

Can you hear me?

Yeah, I hear you!

Want to do a little trading?

What's left of Witmore for Devon.

What about the rest of us?

Once we get what we've come for,

you'll be free to leave here.

Please, Harper, help me.

Witmore looks like

they drug him all the way back.

Yeah.

I hate to think what'd happen to us...

whether we give him Devon or not.

There just might be a way out of this

if you're willing to take a chance on me.

All right, let's hear it.

Now Burrows won't be hurting me till I dig up the money.

If I do dig it up...

none of you going to live long afterwards.

Burrows don't leave many witnesses.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that.

You hide that derringer on me,

let me go out and trade for Witmore.

They'll all be interested in the money,

so I'll take them to the stable where I buried it.

You planning on digging it up for 'em?

No, let them dig it up.

When they do, I'll bring out the derringer.

And if you and the driver here happen to be handy,

maybe we can get to them before they get to us.

You'd better make up your mind, deputy,

we ain't got all day.

All right, he's coming out!

Just try and stall him, huh?

Give us time to get set.

It shouldn't be too hard.

Burrows will probably say I'll still get a split

if I'll show him where the 20,000 is.

We're counting on you, Devon.

All of us.

Howdy, Burrows.

I've been wondering how I'd get word to you

where the money is.

Now I can just show you.

Real nice of you, Devon.

Kind of hoped you'd feel this way about the whole thing.

Witmore told us just about everything

we needed to know including the fact

the money was hid right here in Jubilee.

You worked him over pretty good.

I never did care much for wardens.

Uh, do I still get a split?

Sure.

Sure, we're just about even up now, Devon.

All right, let's go.

Keep an eye on the saloon, Charlie.

The rest of you, come on.

[ gasps ]

There.

Mr. Frazer, please.

Yes, ma'am.

Would you go and stand guard at the door

as Jess asked you to?

That's why he gave you the gun.

I'd feel much safer.

Yes, ma'am. Okay.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, I found it!

Give it to me.

All right, hold it right there.

All right, hold it!

Drop it.

Get their guns, Bates.

All right, back up.

[ grunting ]

[ gunshots ]

Watch 'em, Bates.

[ grunts ]

Boy, I thought you'd never get back.

I had that feeling once or twice myself too.

Then I thought how much you would miss us,

so we dropped everything, came right home.

And it is home.

Miss Daisy, Jess.

Slim.

That tooth must have had awful long roots.

Yeah, it sure did, clean down to my boots.

Yeah, sure.

What happened, Miss Daisy, he get lost in some saloon?

As a matter of fact, we both did.
