Well?

It ain't long past
due now, just you wait.

You told me you had
a time device, didn't you?

I do.

Nitric acid, it burns down
the trigger spring.

When? What time does your
time device work?

You just can't
pin it down to the minute.

Well, the hour or the day
or the month?

Time device to blow dynamite
and acids.

The day I met you,

I should have had
my brain weighed.

I'm leaving.

Wait, look.
I tell you it'll work.

You all right?

[ coughing ]

I don't know.

But I know
something...

she works.

Hocus-pocus and all,
she works!

I told you so.

Hoo-whee!
[ laughs ]

Partner, we're gonna have us
that robbery,

one they'll remember in words
four to the pound.

[ laughs ]

He's firming to be
a proper man, Sarah.

Is he?

Or is he just dying slowly,
like his father before,

trying to bend the land
that won't bend.

You know, I told you that
fretting is what turns you old.

How do you suppose I'm to be
happy marrying an old woman?

I'm sorry, Bob.

It's just that
seeing him out there...

in this
old homestead.

It might as well be
covered with snow

for all
we get off it.

It just seems
so hopeless.

That's 'cause
hope starts with money.

And money is what
I aim to bring you.

Ain't I been telling you this
from time to time?

You know, Oregon's
the talk now,

we could go there
with money.

But how?

They won't give you money
on a promise.

Well, they will
on an invention, Sarah.

This time I know,
me and a friend we got--

An invention?That's right.

And it's sure fire
to make money,

plenty, money
and a preacher.

Now you just give me
a good kiss, young lady.

And you set calm
for a day or two

while I make the deal.

Well, howdy, son.

I ain't your son,
Mr. Murkland.

Peter...

That's all right.

Good man takes time
to know, Sarah.

Things are gonna be better
around here, son.

Slight easier.

Be an end to chicken scratching,
you'll see.

Yes, sir.

Just a couple of days,
Sarah...

and there'll be money.

Bye.

He carries power guns,
Mr. Murkland does.

You should be nicer,
Peter.

He's only
trying to help.

Lord knows
we can use it.

Now wait a minute,
I didn't mean it that way.

No boy could do more than
you've done, Peter.

But it takes more than
what we can do together.

It takes--Do you love him, Ma?

Do you?

Oh, well,
Mr. Murkland is...

is security.

Now every mother
has to love that, Peter.

I guess I see,

but I can't help thinking
of what Pa used to say.

A man
don't carry a gun

who don't aim to shoot it
at another.

Are you sure of this man
Tenney, Jess?

There's not a better man
in the West for the job,

Mr. Wilcox.

You might say
I'm staking my life on him.

Yes,
I suppose you are,

and I suppose
you could say

this town is staking its life
on the both of you.

Well, let's go meet this
Mr. Tenney and his men, eh?

[ laughing ]

Hey, Neely,
hurry it up.

You've been in there long enough
to polish you bare.

Not if you want me to get
five months of dirt off

in 5 minutes.

Who's got my boots?

Oh! Harley,
what are you doing?

Shaving
or plowing?

Harley,
you got a towel?

No, I'm sorry, I've got--
but you boys,

I'm out of soap,
I'm out of towels, I...

Give me a towel!

Oh, give him mine, Harley,
came to me, well recommended.

Here, take it.

Jess!

Speak of the devil,
what do you know?

How are you?
Good, good.

I want you to meet our
bank president, Mr. Wilcox.

United States Marshal
Jim Tenney.

Pleasure, Mr. Wilcox.Marshal Tenney.

Couldn't have picked a better
man to ride shotgun, sir.

Shipment's halfway there
with Jess in the box.

Well, Jess seems to have
a correspondingly

high opinion of you.

[ men laughing ]

Your--
Your men, Marshal...

Just peeling off
trail dust, sir.

You, know I'd be
a lot less than honest

if I didn't tell you
I never would have sent for you

if Indian trouble
hadn't depleted our law force

here in town.

Sheriff Corey won't be back
for at least another week.

Jess mentioned that
in his letter.

Marshal, this is a shipment
of $50,000

for redeposit
in Denver.

It represents
the lifeblood of our town.

Now if anything
should happen,

most of us
would be wiped out.

I can understand that,
sir.

Yes.[ men laughing ]

But do your men?

My men?

Marshal, they sound like
they're getting ready

to go on a picnic.

Men who enjoy life,
Mr. Wilcox...

Are particular
how they give it up.

It's still my motto,
Jess.

And a good one.

Well, I...

I guess I never
thought of it that way.

They have, sir.

The joking stops
when the guns strap on.

They've come up against
the toughest hard cases

in this country, Mr. Wilcox,
and they're still here.

No trouble,
is it, boss?

No, no trouble.

This is Mr. Wilcox,
president of the bank.

And, Mr. Wilcox,
these are my picnickers.

Dan, you want to take
a last check on that equipment?

Yes, sir.

Well, should we go over
those plans, Mr. Wilcox?

Yeah, yeah, fine.

What's more, we'll do it over
a bottle of napoleon brandy.

You all go ahead.

I got to send some equipment
out to the ranch.

Save a drink for me.

All right, Jess.
Marshal.

Hey. It's a long night
to recall,

but you haven't forgotten us
already, have you?

Miss Curtis
to strangers.
Strangers?

Well, you can't hardly
call us strangers,

seeing as we nearly drank you
and that saloon of yours dry.

Oh, yeah, the guards
with the shipment.
Yeah.

You were singing
under the tablecloth.

And you were showing
how Washington

crossed the Delaware
to greet his troops at Bull Run.

And you...

Like I said, Katie,
it was a long night.

As I recall,
you spent most of it

sleep under
the tablecloth.

What are you boys
doing out here

in the daylight
anyway?

Business. We're gonna be back
through here in about a week.

Five men, good and true,
with full pay.

Well, if you want to
lighten your pockets,

you know
where the casino is.

Hey, you don't seem
very impressed with us, girl.

Why should I be?

This town's got
no shortage of good guys.

Take that one
who's coming, for instance.

You take him, Katie,
we've already got him.

Excuse me.

Katie, would you
do me a favor?

I'd be glad to,
Jess.

I'm in kind of a hurry.

See if you could
run down Willard Smith

and give him this
list of supplies for me

to take out
to the ranch.

Sure, Jess,
I'd be glad to.

This really your idea
of a man, Katie?

I'd never look
any further.

Then you've
missed a lot.

I guess it's all
a matter of choice.

Why don't you
stay in town, Jess?

They've got enough guns
for one little bitty stage.

Well, that's an
important shipment, Katie,

about the most important
ever left this town.

I think the lady's
got a good point, Harper.

Why don't you
stay in town?

What are you
getting at?

I'll be simple enough.

Tenney and us,
we work together as a team.

We've all taken enough lead
in us to bottom of boat.

There ain't a man
amongst us

don't know what the man
next to him is gonna do

when the smoke starts.

Oh, we don't know
nothing about you,

nothing that's any good.

Meaning what?

Meaning a man's been
on a wanted poster

don't usually ride
with the law.

That was
a long time ago.

I suppose you've never been
part of a gang, huh?

I said it was
a long time ago!

What I did,
I paid for!

Now if you don't want me
riding with you,

you tell Tenney.

I'll take his say so,
not yours.

It was Wilcox
demanded you, not Jim.

I got me a history of
reading men right, cowboy,

and I read you as
being yellow as mustard

without the bite.

JIM: Hold it!

Pardon me, ma'am.

Now you keep this up
and someone's gonna

get a wrinkle
in their spine.

Anybody
want to be first?

Dan, did you
check that gear?

Right away.

Well, I guess I better
deliver your list, Jess.

Thank you, Katie.

Now come on,
ain't often

we got a banker
waiting for us.

Jim...

what about it?

Was it Wilcox or you
that asked for me?

Oh, pay him
no mind, Jess.

They just worked together
so long, that's all.

Ain't no one I'd rather
have in the box than you.

What about it?

Yeah, it was Wilcox,

but he knows you,
and he don't know me.

That makes sense,
don't it?

I don't know.

Sure you're
not recalling

what happened to me
and Prescott,

like Garnes
is trying to do?

You were proved innocent,
weren't you?

You know I was.

All right, then why should I
call it to mind?

Come on, napoleon brandy,
remember?

[ knocking on door ]

Who is it?

Ulysses S. Grant.

The surprise better work.

I just seen Tenney
and his men in the street

as I rode in.

Yeah, the same Tenney
and the same men

that near stopped
the Lincoln County War

all by their selves.

Eh, won't be many be
fighting this time.

Be a bomb like
the end of the world

or the beginning,
take your pick.

What time
she set to blow?

Ah, about midnight.

I figure that they'll be at
the Three River relay station

for the night
by then,

and we'll move in
without being seen.

And when she blows,
we'll have

a flat path to the loot,
then we move in and--

And then we'll be fatter than
a fox in a hen's pen.

We'll ride two men
in front of the stage,

two men to the rear,
two men inside of the shipment.

Jess, you're up on top
with the driver.

Carry no passengers
and only the lightest freight.

Mm-hmm. Well, what about
your stops?

Only at the relay stations
and only at night,

at which time we'll run
the stage inside the stables,

changing guard
around the clock.

Mm-hmm.

Well, Jess, how does
all this sound to you?

Good by me, sir.

To Denver.

Uh, it's too big.

Oh, please, mister,
these are the only effects

left of my wife's.

You see, I lost her.

She was killed in an
Indian raid

down in Twin Bukes.

I'd like to send these
to her sister.

It was a bad raid,
Mr. Garnes.

It's tender.

I mean, see, I ain't
much on wrapping

and, well, I'd just as soon
take my chances on the stage,

that is if you
don't mind.

Don't seem heavy,
Mr. Garnes.

All right,
stuff it in.

I hope your sister-in-law
will be pleased

with the effects.

She will.

All right, Jess.

Go.

Ho!

I'll check the cabins.

Unhitch the horses.

Hey, hey,
it's about time now.

All right,
let's close in.

When's it going off?

Anytime now,
anytime.

[ footsteps approaching]

What are you doing
out here?

Garnes,
Jim was right.

It's a long ride
to Denver.

We ain't gonna
make it any easier

quarreling
all the time.

I'm willing to let it lay
if you are.

I'll be honest with you,
I ain't no saint,

I don't figure
you're one either.

No argument there.
Yeah.

Tenney spilled it out for me
a little while ago, I...

found out all about you
and your past.

Sorry I was so mule
stubborn.

Forget it.

[ gunshots ]

See if they got the money,
Neely.

Burnt but alive, Jim.

So is this one
but Lord knows how.

The money's gone,
boss!

I'm gonna round up
the horses.

Right.

Dan, give me a hand
getting these men into camp,

start patching them up

and Jess and I'll
start trailing.

You ain't
leaving me here.

Somebody's got to
stay with them.

There'll be a stage through
here tomorrow,

get them on it,
see they get to a doctor.

Yes, sir.

Murkland?

I can't make it.

Oh, we got a start on them,
let's rest.

Ain't any use.

I feel the life
leaking out of my body.

Come on,
take some water.

Ain't any use
I tell you.

Bob...

Why do men take sort of
frothing over money?

[ gasps ]

Ha! Ha!

They've split up.

Then so will we.

You trail that one,
I'll take this one.

[ horse neighing ]

I caught one.

How bad?

Not too bad.

He was waiting up there
for me.

They split us up
on purpose.

I found my man
dead in his saddle.

Yours must have
run him up the trail

so as we'd split up.

How about the money?

Must be
on the other one.

Then we'll find it
and take it off him.

It's gonna be me
doing the finding, Jim.

Why?

You're going back.

You do any long riding
and that's gonna worsen

and you know it.

I can ride.

Yeah, but not far enough
and not fast enough.

You'll slow me up,
Jim.

I tell you
I can ride!

[ groans ]

Maybe you're right.

I better get moving.

Jess, you get him,
I don't care how or when,

but you get him.

I'll get him.

[ hollow clang ]

[ horse neighs ]

[ gunshots ]

Are you a lawman?

If I was, you'd be
tied across that saddle

right now,
wouldn't you?

Not if I wasn't
all you come for.

I seen you once
when I come to.

You were searching
for something.

Yeah,
and I found it...

in your pocket.

[ scoffs ]
Found it.

I happened to be
at a relay station last night

when a bank shipment
was stolen.

And bank shipments use
nice new bills like these.

Then you are
a lawman.

No, I'm just
a windmill monkey

to the dog that will trail
to the end

if the stakes
are high enough.

I got a swap for you.

Swap?

You need doctoring
real bad.

I'll get you to one
for a share of this money.

I ain't sharing
nothing.

[ coughing ]

That bullet's in pretty deep,
it's gonna have to come out.

Can you get it out?

Maybe...

with plenty of hot water
and bandages.

And I'll tell you
where you can find them.

There's a cabin to the end
of this north ridge.

You take me there
and patch me up

and I'll swap you
a share of the money.

Oh, I couldn't.
You need a doctor.

In town I don't know
what you do,

there's a cabin.

You either fix me up
or all the money

you'd end up with is just
what you got in your hand.

Well, what do you say,
doctor?

You got yourself
a deal.

[ horses approaching ]

What happened?

He stopped some lead,
ma'am.

You better get a bed
ready for him.

Give me a hand,
boy.

Is he going to be
all right?

I hope so.

Is he your husband?

No!

Sorry, Ma.

He's my fiancé.

I better start working on him
while he's still unconscious.

What are you
gonna do?

If I don't get that lead
out of him,

he'll be dead
by nightfall.

He's liable to
anyway.

Get me some boiling water
and some clean rags.

Do you want your fiancé
alive or dead?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'll get it.

You his
business partner?

You could say that.

The two of you gunmen,
most likely.

Most likely
it takes all kinds.

You got a poker
around here, boy?

Yeah.

Stick in that stove
and get it red hot for me.

Why should I
help him?

'Cause he's a human being
and he's in pain!

Now do what
I tell you.

I reckon I can stay up
with him, Ma.

Thank you, Peter.

Thank you most deeply,
but this is my duty,

but thank you.

I saw some deer sign
coming down the valley today.

When he wakes up, he's gonna
need some real meat broth.

You reckon you could take me
where they are?

I think so.

The best time for hunting
is early in the morning.

Best you get
some sleep.

Goodnight, Ma.

Goodnight.

Boy.

I appreciate
your help.

It took a man.

Thank you, sir.

Did I hear you say you were
Bob's business partner?

No, I just said that
to ease the boy.

I never saw the man
before.

You didn't even
know Bob?

No, I found him
on a trail.

He'd been shot.

He mentioned
this cabin.

And you brought him all this way
and tended him so.

Well, that's a right
Christian act, mister.

What we've been through
and I don't even know your name.

My name's
Sarah Hodding.

My son's name is
Peter.

Jess Harper,
ma'am.

It was a proper Christian act,
Mr. Harper,

we're most
beholden.

Man ought to do
what he thinks is right.

His pulse is
strong.

I think he's gonna be
all right.

You aiming on
marrying him?

A woman needs a man
to stand by.

A man her son
don't like?

Peter's young.

And the young
are truthful.

I'm sorry, I had no call
to say that.

I'll be honest,
Mr. Harper.

I'm getting older.

Bob Murkland was a,
was a chance to,

to leave this...

to leave this land

that took from me
the man I loved.

When Bob came here with his
talk of inventions and money

and a fresh start,
well...

Oh, what's the use of
talking about it.

There's no money.

I guess deep down I knew
there never would be.

You could be
wrong.

Maybe whoever shot him
was after the money.

And maybe he hid it
when he was holding them off.

I heard a lot of shooting
when I rode up.

I'd like to
believe in it.

You know, Bob's got a mark
of Cain about him,

something my husband used to
call the, the devil's shadow.

I never realized it
until tonight.

Tonight?

Yeah, the difference of feelings
between you and him.

Bob never would have
come all this way

and fought for
a stranger's life and won,

took hold of Peter
quiet and sure.

It was a man's way...

a man complete.

Such a man could do
most anything.

It touches folks
around him.

I, I didn't mean to sound
so forward, Mr. Harper.

Please excuse me.

I'm honored, ma'am.

But a man ain't always
what he seems.

I'm gonna get me
some sleep.

You call me
if he worsens.

There's one.

No, you take it.

I'm still
out of breath.

Missed.

Yeah, you stopped
your rifle.

You got to follow through
with your swing

before you
squeeze your shot off.

That's all right,
there'll be another one along.

Come on, let's sit.

I reckon
I ain't shot much.

Pa wasn't strong
on it.

With him, it was a cause
of trouble.

Trouble is not in the gun,
Peter,

it's in the man
behind it.

Pa might have
said that.

Same as he might
have said about

helping a human being in pain,
no matter what your feelings.

Sacrifice,
giving no mind in return.

I reckon you're a lot like Pa
except...

Except what?

Except you can do what you say,
Pa could only say it.

He was a dreamer
I guess.

Least that's
what Ma said.

Then you should have been
proud of him.

It takes two kinds of people
to make up a country, Peter.

Doers and dreamers

and the doers don't
have anything to do

unless the dream's
there first.

I never
thought of that.

What's that make
Mr. Murkland then?

He's either one
or none.

That's hard to tell.

You got to
know a man first.

Yeah,
I suppose so.

But I'm glad you and him
wasn't business partners

like I thought.

Ma told me.

I guess he aims to
make her happy and all but...

well, I'm just glad.

I suppose it isn't right to give
the quick of your feelings

but, well, when I'm with you,
Jess, it's like,

like there couldn't be
nothing wrong with living, ever.

Thank you kindly,
Peter.

Easy,
drink it slow.

Sarah, Peter.

Oh, you can't know

what it's like to be
amongst friends.

I had a little dream.

Went something different.

Oh, you remember
Mr. Harper.

At least you should,
he brought you here.

He took the bullet out of you
and doctored you proper.

It's an act of
pure Christian sacrifice.

You owe your life
to him, Bob.

Pure Christian sacrifice.

How upright of you,
Mr. Harper. Right.

I got us some money, Sarah,
invention paid off.

Oh, really?

I hid it back on the trail
when bandits tried to get me.

Oh, Bob, I--
I doubted you so.

It don't matter,
Sarah.

It's a new life
for you and Peter

that's important.

You got that now.

Leave me.

I got to talk to
Mr. Harper.

Drink this.

Now you know
why I done it.

They need money.

It takes money
to get a fresh start.

Yeah,
I can see that.

I figured you would as soon as
I got you down here.

Maybe you can
see this too.

It's gonna take all the money
that's hid back there

to get to Oregon
and all.

I can't split it,
Harper.

Oh, I could, I could give you
something for your--

Get this straight.

There's only
one thing to see

and one thing to say,
Murkland.

I'm taking everything
that's coming to me, everything.

In case you hatch up any ideas
why you're mending, don't,

because you were unconscious
when I brought you here

and I'm the only one
who knows the trail back.

And on top of that, there's only
two guns in this cabin

and they both
belong to me.

So I ain't giving,
I'm taking.

You got a surprise
coming.

Well, now, Peter,
two more of these

and you can take her
past the moon

without
spilling a box.

Cut that other sapling
in two for me, will you?

Oh, you bet,
Jess.

Here, Jess.

Jess, what's--
what's Oregon like?

I hear it's so nice that
even the sun is green

and you can grow things
just by smiling at them.

It must be pretty
though.

It will be a sight prettier
after you get there, Sarah.

There you go.

Always know the right thing
to say and do,

don't you,
Mr. Harper?

Maybe I should have said
if you get there.

If I get there,
what do you mean?

Well, there ain't nothing
that's certain

except night and day.

Can't pin your hopes
on just one thing...

'cause something can always
rise up and change them.

Nothing's gonna rise up
and change my hopes...

except of course
if there's wasn't any money,

but that's all
taken care of.

Yeah,
that's taken care of.

Besides, even
if I had to stay here,

it wouldn't be
the same place.

It'd be the place
where I met you...

and found out what
decency and kindness

and strength
can become in a man.

Man ain't always
what he seems, Sarah.

You said that once
before

and I still don't change
my opinion.

I hope you won't ever
have to.

I won't.

That's the only thing
that's certain,

except night and day.

[ chopping wood ]

Hey, we won't even
get a start to Oregon

if your son doesn't cut that
sapling in two.

I better help him.

Just like lightning,
Jess,

never strikes twice
in the same place.

You're coming down too hard,
throws your aim off.

Let the axe fall easy,
the blade does the cutting.

Here.

Ain't there nothing
you can't do?

Sure, there's lots of things
I can't do.

It took me
a whole box of shells

before I got
my first deer.

Come on, let's get that
wagon fixed.

[ gasps ]

Who was you
expecting?

You've been drinking.

Well, now I reckon
that's more like a wife.

Where did you get it?

I brought a couple of bottles
back in the last trip

for celebrating.

It's time for celebrating,
ain't it, girl?

I done healed, I got money
and I'm taking myself a wife.

Come on, it ain't often
we're to ourselves.

Stop.

Oh, I ain't got
enough decency

or kindness or strength,
is that it?

You were
listening to us.
Yeah.

Yeah, and it near
turned my stomach,

decency, kindness,
Christian acts.

Anything he's done has been
for his self, you hear?

What are you saying?

I'm saying that Mr. Harper
didn't do no sacrificing.

All he done was
a make a bargain

with a dying man.

He'd tend me, sure,

so long as I'd share
that money with him

when I got well.

That's our money,
Sarah.

Well,
that's not true.

Oh, it's true.

It's true, all right,
as certain as night and day.

Well, that's a lie!

It's a lie,
you hear?

Hold on, Peter.

He can't go on
saying that.

Yes, he can
'cause it's true.

You mean you did all
what you done for the money?

That's right.

[ laughs ]

Peter, listen to me.

Leave me be.

Look, it's not the way
you think--

Leave me be,
I say.

All right,
let's hold it up.

We can walk to it
from here.

Well, kind of like
coming back to your grave.

You might say
it came close enough

to be in a grave,
wouldn't you, Harper?

Just get the money.

The money?

Near forgot.

But that'd never happen to you,
would it, Harper?

I reckon you've been living
with the thought of that money

ever since
we left here.

Well,
it wasn't too far.

Near as close
as a hand to a glove.

Ah, they look as good
as new.

Except maybe what a trade rat
might've packed at.

That's right.

That's the gun
I took off of Boyd.

Maybe you remember
Boyd, Harper.

Maybe you trailed a horse
carrying a dead man.

I'd say you remember.

'Cause I had a chance
to do me some recalling

while I was mending.

And I done recalled
your face.

He was crossing the street
with Jim Tenney

the day I rode into
Laramie.

That makes you a law-dogger
smelling most the same.

I was riding shotgun
on that stage

you blew up and robbed
with your invention.

That invention of yours
almost killed five good men.

Huh, then I ain't
finished yet.

What's he saying, Bob?

Just stay set,
Sarah.

I'm saying that money
belongs to the people of Laramie

and you're gonna marry
a no good thief, Sarah.

You're wrong there too
'cause I ain't marrying nobody.

I never planned to.

What I got,
I'm taking lonesome.

You expected
different?

A prune with a kid

that can't scratch his self
without a guide.

You had a proper hideout,
that's all I wanted.

That and this...

He'll be all right,
Sarah.

It's just a flesh wound.

Oh, thank the Lord.

[ groans ]

Is he...?

Yeah, he is.

I figured if,
if I...

Sacrificed a little.

You're gonna be
all right, Peter.

In fact, you're gonna be
plenty all right.

It was very
nice of you

to share your Sunday supper
with us, Mrs. Cooper.

Oh, we enjoyed
having you.

I hope you and Peter
will have a safe trip.

Write to us soon.

Thank you.
We will.

I wish you'd listen,
Sarah.

Oregon's a long way off
with that load you got to go on.

I know, Jess.

I suppose we're foolish
but we've talked it over.

We figured we couldn't
go back to the cabin to stay.

It's what it amounts to, Jess.

I reckon
I understand.

Jess, our wagon,
it's gone.

Well, so it is.

But our wagon, that's all
we had in the world, Jess,

I wouldn't say that,
Sarah.

[ horses approaching ]

Easy, boy.

I don't understand.

Well, the new wagon was
Marshal Tenney's idea.

And, well, Jess and I
talked the stage line

into donating
those horses.

But why?

Well, ma'am, if that money
hadn't been recovered,

I'd be back to
skinning mules.

And, Sarah,

besides all your
personal belongings in there,

there's everything you could
possibly want on the trip.

Including a dog
for Pete.

[ barking ]

Plus
a $1,000 reward.

One? Oh, Jess,
you were the one that--

Jess tells it
differently.

If it hadn't been
for your son here,

Murkland might
never have been taken.

We're real proud of you,
boy.

Oh, I don't know
what to say.

Well, there's nothing left
to say, except goodbye.

If it sounds like we're
hurrying you a little, we are.

See, there's a wagon train
coming to the forks

in a couple of minutes.

We arranged for you
to go along with them.
