Mr. Charlie Burton registered here?

Your name Yuma?

Yeah, Yuma.

Johnny Yuma.

Figured.

You're in four.

Who asked for a room?

The old man paid for it.

He's in five.

There's a fire through here.

Hey, Yuma!

Johnny, how are ya?

Tony, hey, it's good to see ya.

What're you doin' here?

Same thing you are, buddy, come on.

What're you talkin' about?

I got something to show ya, come on.

How are ya, mate, how you been?

Gotcha!

Hey, what we got here?

The whole Confederate Army?

No, we're just the patrol, Johnny.

You fellas get a letter too?

I was with the cutest little redhead

in the port of Savannah when I got mine.

What does Mr. Burton want with us?

Well that's the thing, see, we don't know.

He won't talk till we're all together.

I guess you know about as much about it as we do.

Well just what it says in the letter,

that our future depends on us being here.

Hey, let's go see what the old man wants.

Yeah, come on, let's go.

You know, I'm shippin' outa Savannah when I get home.

How about comin' along with me?

Ah, no thanks, sailor.

Come in.

Evenin', Mr. Burton.

How you feelin', Mr. Burton?

So y'all finally got here.

You must be Johnny.

Yessir.

I'm glad you could make it.

The Fateful Patrol.

All here except my son, Matt.

In his memory, I'm gonna give you all a fortune.

I've read this letter over so many times,

I almost know it by heart.

Dear Mr. Burton.

By now you've gotten the news from the War Department

of Matt's death.

We thought it might help a little to know the way he died.

Matt and the four of us who signed this letter were sent out

on a patrol to destroy an enemy cannon emplacement.

We succeeded, then with the Yanks right on our heels,

we had about one chance in a thousand

to make it back to our lines.

Without our knowin' it, Matt fell back to cover our retreat.

It cost him his life but he saved ours.

We think he's the bravest man we ever knew.

We thought you'd like to know.

With deepest sympathy,

Johnny Yuma, Tony Parlio, Vic Nelison, Stan Benton.

I guess it wasn't easy for you to write that letter.

I appreciate it.

I appreciate your tellin' the army about it

so I got the medal.

He deserved it.

I waited a long time for this.

I spent the last year and a lot of money

trackin' y'all down.

I got a bad sickness and I, I's gettin' mighty afraid

I wasn't gonna last long enough for this.

Come here, son.

Matt wrote me about all the men but you, Johnny,

were his favorite.

I'm a prospector.

I have been all my life.

About two years ago I made a gold strike

in the Mohave Desert.

Probably worth about a million dollars.

Here's a map.

Well, ah, are you givin' this to us?

Matt was my only child.

I'm sure he'd want me to do this for his friends.

I must be dreamin' this.

I'll be a whale's uncle.

I million in gold.

Ah, now, now, don't count on it.

It's gonna take an awful lot of money just to get there

with the equipment and stuff.

Already thought about that.

This came from the mine.

Enough there to buy everything you need.

What about water?

Don't worry about it, son.

There's water.

I tapped into an underground river.

I guess there aren't any words to express my feelings.

Well Mr. Burton, I don't know what to say.

Hey, the wind's knocked outa my sails too.

Thanks, mate.

That same goes for me too.

I wouldn't talk about this to anybody.

Word gets out, every desert rat in

the territory'll be after you.

Good luck, fellas.

Thank you, sir.

Just one thing, you're all good friends.

You went through the war together.

Don't let the money change that.

Oh no, I think we're all good buddies.

That's right.

My bond, skipper.

Oh boy, I'm gonna lay one on.

Hey, let's go, I'm gonna buy all of ya a drink.

I would but ma said I was wastin' my money comin' here.

It would be a nice feelin' to know it's there.

I'll bet you'd throw yours away on the first girl you meet.

Ha, no sir, I'm gonna buy myself a schooner.

Not one, but a whole fleet of 'em.

I'm gonna be the biggest shipper on the whole coast.

Think a quarter of a million's gonna be enough for ya?

Go ahead and laugh, maybe the kid'll come in

on it with me.

How 'bout it, Tony?

No, not me.

Still wanna be a doctor, Tony?

No, heck no.

I'm gettin' me the greenest land I can find

and the fattest steers and the biggest spread of all.

I'm gonna be the richest cattleman in all of Texas.

That's the first time I ever heard you

say anything positive about anything.

That's the power of money for ya.

Just think, good ol' Matt made this all possible.

Yeah, good ol' Matt.

I can't even remember what he looked like.

Well it's been a long time, whaddya expect.

Hadn't been for the war, none of us woulda ever

spent 10 minutes together.

And all this buddy buddy junk the old man's passin' out,

now all of you guys pickin' it up.

Now come on, let's face it.

Any way you slice it, it's horse meat.

That the way you feel about it, Tony?

No.

No, heck no.

How 'bout you?

Course not.

Well how 'bout you, Vic?

Huh?

Your share, how do ya figure you're gonna spend it all?

Oh, only one way to spend it.

What I know best.

Guns, gentlemen.

You know I'm gonna make 'em.

War is becomin' business so when they start shootin' again,

they gonna be usin' my guns.

Yeah, well I guess we're all pretty lucky.

Well it's the first time anybody ever

gave me anything, I'll tell ya.

Matt gave you somethin'.

He sure did.

He gave you his life.

Maybe, but then could be he was just tryin'

to prove somethin' to himself.

You know, you're like a blue bellied shark,

comes around ships.

You keep talkin', you'll never see that mine, sailor boy.

Boy, I think Matt'd turn over in his grave

if he could hear us talkin' like this.

Matt, Matt, Matt, I'm sick of hearin' about him.

He wasn't all that heart of soldier.

Well you forget all the times he'd run?

Yeah, I forgot all those times.

I just remember the time he stood there and took it for us.

I don't trust him with that map.

Oh, wait a minute, you.

Now we all have a part of the map.

Everybody satisfied?

It'll do for now.

I'm sorry, Johnny, I'm sorry it had to be this way.

So is he.

Come on, Mable, let's turn in.

Come on.

So long, sport.

So long, sport.

This dump is so cheap, they even save money

on lamps in the hall.

I'll get a match.

There's never anybody around this dump.

Mr. Burton?

Mr. Burton?

I know how you must feel.

I thought you were friends.

Matt wrote me what good friends you were.

It's hard to explain war, Mr. Burton.

Men are thrown together.

But in peacetime our lives go off in different directions.

We don't know each other anymore.

I hate to say this but one of us is a murderer.

I wish you'd keep your door locked.

He's only after the map, isn't he?

I haven't got it anymore, Johnny.

He might figure you could draw another one.

All right, Johnny, I'll take care.

Thank you.

Goodnight, sir.

Could I ask you a question.

Why sure, Reb.

Sit down.

Whaddya wanna know?

What's a pretty girl like me doing in this hole?

Nothing personal.

Well, that's a new one.

You're in the room next to mine, number six.

Okay, bring on the whiskey, Mike.

Nevermind that.

I just want to know whether you saw

or heard anything when you came down the hall.

No, Reb, nothin'.

Quiet as a grave.

It's a bad word to use around here, ain't it.

Thanks.

Hey, Reb.

Would you mind walkin' me to my room?

This dump gives me the creeps.

Gypsy told me once I was gonna die by violence.

I've sure been tempting fate.

The light's out again.

Yuma.

Hold it, drop it.

Drop it.

Why didn't you get me in the back like the others?

What'd ya do, run out of knives?

I warned y'all.

Why didn't ya listen to me?

That boy'll be hung for murder.

That leaves just you, Johnny, the last of the patrol.

Just me with a knife in my back, is that your plan?

Johnny.

Then you could turn Tony in for three murders.

You're the only one Vic woulda let come close enough

to knife him in the back.

It was Tony.

He had his chance when he was behind me.

He woulda done it then.

Why'd you kill 'em?

Why?

Murderers.

Murderers, you killed my son.

You ran off and left Matt.

That's why you got him a medal, to hide that you ran.

We wrote you how it happened.

You lied.

My son was weak, he didn't know how to be a hero.

He didn't just stay behind, you ran off and left him to die.

They killed my son.

You ruined everything.

Took me three years to plan how to get back at you.

I know.

Have us wander around the desert lookin' for

a mine that wasn't there.

Die of thirst.

I wanted you to die, slow,

so you'd know what I went through.

When you started talkin' about hirin' a scout,

I knew you'd get back.

I never figured on ya not being friends.

Not stickin' together.

Had you sized up all wrong.

Something else you sized up wrong, Mr. Burton.

Your own son.

He was a hero, you shoulda believed us.
