00:09:48,326 --> 00:09:50,807
Here come my partners.
Come on.
Let's move along now.

170
00:09:50,851 --> 00:09:54,681
General Wallace, I'm from
the Santa Fe Journal.
I'd like to talk to you.

171
00:09:54,724 --> 00:09:56,596
As he says,
a little later, please.

172
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:59,163
Move along, boys.
We'll see you later.

173
00:09:59,207 --> 00:10:01,731
How do you do, General?
It's good to see you here.

174
00:10:01,775 --> 00:10:04,168
Welcome to, uh,
our gold mine.

175
00:10:04,212 --> 00:10:06,475
[ laughs ]
I'm mighty happy
to be here, Jesse.

176
00:10:06,518 --> 00:10:08,085
Here. Sit down.Thank you.

177
00:10:08,129 --> 00:10:09,521
And congratulations.Thank you.

178
00:10:09,565 --> 00:10:12,394
Henry tells me you're
already producing good ore.

179
00:10:12,437 --> 00:10:15,266
Sure am.
Got your share right here.

180
00:10:15,310 --> 00:10:17,268
Thank you.

181
00:10:17,312 --> 00:10:19,488
When you first asked me
for that grubstake,

182
00:10:19,531 --> 00:10:21,751
I had a hunch
you were gonna be lucky.

183
00:10:21,795 --> 00:10:24,319
It's not luck, General,
it's science.

184
00:10:24,362 --> 00:10:26,538
Let me tell you something,
this is just the beginning.

185
00:10:27,583 --> 00:10:29,933
[ footsteps approaching ]

186
00:10:29,977 --> 00:10:31,761
General Wallace,

187
00:10:31,805 --> 00:10:33,981
I'm E.J. Bainbridge.

188
00:10:34,024 --> 00:10:36,505
This is my partner
Ben Rydell.How do you do?

189
00:10:36,548 --> 00:10:40,465
GENERAL: How do you do?We've been waiting
for you to arrive, General.

190
00:10:40,509 --> 00:10:42,380
Yesterday, we made
an offer for this mine

191
00:10:42,424 --> 00:10:44,774
to Mr. Martin and Dr. Hoyt.

192
00:10:44,818 --> 00:10:46,602
And I told ya
it's not for sale.

193
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:48,473
Now, you're interrupting
a business meeting.

194
00:10:48,517 --> 00:10:51,999
Now, wait a minute, Jesse.
I think the general
ought to hear this.

195
00:10:52,042 --> 00:10:55,829
These gentlemen offered
$100,000, General Wallace.

196
00:10:55,872 --> 00:10:59,876
The mine is not for sale.
Anyway, that's chicken feed.

197
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:03,663
Chicken feed?
What kind of chickens
are you feeding, now, Jesse?

198
00:11:03,706 --> 00:11:07,275
But we're making
plenty of money, General.
Why should we sell?

199
00:11:07,318 --> 00:11:10,060
You tell him why, Ben.

200
00:11:10,104 --> 00:11:12,062
Because that was
yesterday's offer.

201
00:11:12,106 --> 00:11:14,108
My partner and I
have talked it over,

202
00:11:14,151 --> 00:11:16,110
and today
we're offering $200,000.

203
00:11:16,153 --> 00:11:18,721
And I say no. Capital N-O. DR. HOYT:
Now, Jesse--

204
00:11:18,765 --> 00:11:20,331
That's quite a bit of money,
Jesse.

205
00:11:20,375 --> 00:11:22,856
I think we should
at least talk it over.

206
00:11:22,899 --> 00:11:26,163
Look, you two gentlemen own
two-thirds of this mine.

207
00:11:26,207 --> 00:11:28,818
You don't even have to listen
to Mr. Martin.

208
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,083
General, you wouldn't do
anything like that, would ya?

209
00:11:34,998 --> 00:11:38,001
No, Jesse, we wouldn't. JESSE:
Thank you.

210
00:11:38,045 --> 00:11:41,091
Mr. Bainbridge,
while we are indeed partners,

211
00:11:41,135 --> 00:11:44,704
Dr. Hoyt and I feel
that the mine rightfully
belongs to Jesse.

212
00:11:44,747 --> 00:11:49,230
So we wouldn't make any deal
without his full approval.

213
00:11:49,273 --> 00:11:52,059
See, I don't approve.

214
00:11:52,102 --> 00:11:54,757
Not for 200,000,
not for 300,000.

215
00:11:54,801 --> 00:11:57,238
300,000? JESSE:
That's right.

216
00:11:57,281 --> 00:12:00,981
What have you got
against selling, Jesse?
We're in this for the money.

217
00:12:01,024 --> 00:12:03,723
And it's gonna take
quite an investment
to bring in machinery

218
00:12:03,766 --> 00:12:06,203
to run this mine properly.Then we'll buy what we need!

219
00:12:06,247 --> 00:12:07,770
Look!
Will you look at these?

220
00:12:07,814 --> 00:12:09,816
Look at these assay reports.
Look at 'em, General.

221
00:12:09,859 --> 00:12:11,774
GENERAL: All right, Jesse.
Don't get excited. You see 'em?

222
00:12:11,818 --> 00:12:14,298
We'll do whatever you want.[ sighs ]

223
00:12:14,342 --> 00:12:17,127
Gentlemen, let us talk it over,
and we'll get back to you.

224
00:12:17,171 --> 00:12:20,043
Meantime, it occurs to me
that if I were going to invest

225
00:12:20,087 --> 00:12:23,090
the kind of money
that you're offering,
I would--

226
00:12:23,133 --> 00:12:25,701
Not that there's any question
of honesty, of course.

227
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:28,486
But if I were you,
I'd run an assay report
of my own.

228
00:12:30,401 --> 00:12:32,142
You don't mind, Jesse?

229
00:12:32,186 --> 00:12:34,492
No. Why should I?

230
00:12:34,536 --> 00:12:36,538
Yes. That's a good idea.

231
00:12:36,581 --> 00:12:39,019
I could take some samples
into Santa Fe
and be back by tomorrow.

232
00:12:39,062 --> 00:12:42,109
That way, you can tell
what you want to offer,

233
00:12:42,152 --> 00:12:44,111
whether or not
you want to go 300,000.

234
00:12:44,154 --> 00:12:48,028
300,000? Why,
we never made that offer.

235
00:12:48,071 --> 00:12:49,769
Well, I didn't say
I'd accept it.

236
00:12:49,812 --> 00:12:52,206
The fact is, I won't accept
anything tomorrow.

237
00:12:52,249 --> 00:12:53,903
Tomorrow I'm getting married.

238
00:12:53,947 --> 00:12:57,689
So, Mr. Rydell,
you take some samples
and run your own assay.

239
00:12:57,733 --> 00:13:00,170
All right, Jesse?I don't care what he does.

240
00:13:00,214 --> 00:13:02,085
Good. In the meantime,

241
00:13:02,129 --> 00:13:05,785
there'll be
no more talk of selling
until after the wedding.

242
00:13:07,787 --> 00:13:09,092
All right.

The mine's a fake!
There's no trace
of gold at all.

That ore's nothing
but plain rock.[ murmuring ]

00:13:36,511 --> 00:13:38,992
There's not a trace of gold
in any of that rock.

253
00:13:41,081 --> 00:13:43,953
I had a feeling
there was something wrong.

254
00:13:43,997 --> 00:13:48,436
Jesse, I think we all deserve
an explanation, don't you?

I got no time to talk.

256
00:13:51,265 --> 00:13:53,310
This won't take long, Jesse.

257
00:13:53,354 --> 00:13:57,793
Just tell us,
what is the truth?

258
00:13:57,837 --> 00:13:59,708
You with me, Danita?

259
00:13:59,751 --> 00:14:02,667
I'll always
be with you, Jesse.

260
00:14:02,711 --> 00:14:04,887
All right, General.
Let's have that talk.

261
00:14:12,373 --> 00:14:15,376
JESSE:
So, uh, well,
what more is there to say?

262
00:14:15,419 --> 00:14:17,595
Rydell picked the wrong samples,
and that's all.

263
00:14:19,728 --> 00:14:21,817
I'm afraid we can't
accept that, Jesse.

264

JESSE:
Why not?
You got paid, didn't ya?

265
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,604
Why, everybody who works here
at the mine got paid.

266
00:14:26,648 --> 00:14:29,085
Manuelo, you've been
getting paid ever since
you started work, right?

267
00:14:29,129 --> 00:14:31,000
That's right.
We got paid.

268
00:14:31,044 --> 00:14:34,264
But how, Jesse?From the gold!
How else?

269
00:14:34,308 --> 00:14:37,224
By golly,
I'm running a gold mine,
and I'm paying off.

270
00:14:37,267 --> 00:14:40,618
You got paid,
and everybody who works here
got paid.

271
00:14:40,662 --> 00:14:42,969
You want to argue about it.
You saw those assay reports.

272
00:14:43,012 --> 00:14:45,493
I couldn't fake those.
Why would I?

I'll show it to ya.

277
00:14:57,940 --> 00:15:00,203
No. Why should I?

278
00:15:00,247 --> 00:15:03,467
I don't have to prove
any more to you.
I paid ya.

279

Now, you don't have to trust me.
That's up to you.

280

But there is gold
in that box?

281
00:15:09,299 --> 00:15:12,259
I'm telling you there's a bar of
pure gold in that box, and I'm
asking you to believe me.

282
00:15:12,302 --> 00:15:14,783
We're trying, Jesse.
Believe me, we're trying.

283
00:15:14,826 --> 00:15:17,090
All right, all right.
I'll tell you what I'll do.

284
00:15:17,133 --> 00:15:20,832
Since you're not satisfied
with the partnership,
I'll buy you both out.

285
00:15:20,876 --> 00:15:24,184
I'll give ya $100 each
for your shares.

286
00:15:24,227 --> 00:15:26,229
$100? That's right.

287

Yesterday,
we turned down 200,000,

288
00:15:29,058 --> 00:15:31,321
and today you're offering us
$100 apiece.

289
00:15:31,365 --> 00:15:33,062
That's my offer.
Take it or leave it.

290
00:15:36,196 --> 00:15:38,154
I'll tell you what else I'll do.

291
00:15:38,198 --> 00:15:40,983
You don't want to sell to me,
I'll sell to you.

292
00:15:41,027 --> 00:15:44,117
$100. For $50 apiece,
you can have the whole mine.

293
00:15:45,596 --> 00:15:49,774
Does that include the bar
of pure gold in that box?

294
00:15:49,818 --> 00:15:53,778
That includes everything--
the ore, the mine,
and all the gold in that box.

295

That's right.

I don't know about you, Henry,
but I think I've had enough

of the mining business
for a while.

299
00:16:03,875 --> 00:16:06,704
Besides, I have
a territory to run.

300
00:16:06,748 --> 00:16:10,795
Jesse, I'll accept your offer
for my share of the mine.

301

And I have a medical practice
to take care of.

too, Jesse.

I don't need money
on my honeymoon.

have to sign papers.
Just a gentlemen's agreement.

310
00:16:40,390 --> 00:16:42,392
That should do it.Of course.

311
00:16:42,436 --> 00:16:45,047
Maybe we should shake on it.
That is, if you want
to shake with me.

I insist on it.
Sure.

313
00:16:48,094 --> 00:16:51,880
It's been a memorable

experience, I might say.

would you do me just one favor?

Anything.Show me the bar of pure gold
in that box.

from now on,

this mine belongs to me
