We're holding
two unpaid notes for you.

You almost had me fooled!

But not anymore!

I'll come for you!

Sometime, somewhere!

♪♪

You could've saved me
a lot of trouble down there
if you'd told me his name.

You might've gotten
the wrong man killed.

But there's nothing
you can do about it now.

You're wrong about that.

Look, Toby...you were
ready to go home

before you found out
it was Stacy.

Let's go home, then.

After I settle with him.

There's nothing
to settle, Toby.

I think there is.

He lied to you, Ellie.
I know that now.

He knew who I was.

He could've told me
the truth.

But all he was
interested in was
getting me out of there

to save his own skin.

To me, that doesn't
sound like a man

with nothing to hide.

Took you a while
to get here.

The herd takes more than
a little lookin' after.

I expect so.

All right,
what are you up to?

I'm not up to
anything.

I'm just doin'
my duty.

I heard about a murder,
and I brought
the killer in.

Well, let's take
a few shortcuts.

Stacy Grainger
did not murder anyone.

He killed a man
who was tryin' to rob him.

You know that
as well as I do.

You're only holding him
so we'll pay the toll
on our herd

and get him out of
your jail.

When you say
a thing like that,

you're saying
I'm using my office for
an unlawful purpose.

Well, let's say it
this way.

If I were to put
the toll money on
the desk right now,

it'd change the whole
picture, wouldn't it?

It would. And now
let me tell you why.

That boy's gonna have
a jury trial.

Since this is
the county seat,

the jurors are gonna be
people from this town.

Now, if that tax is paid
the way it should be--

no sweat, no trouble--

then the jurors are
gonna be what I'd call
"kindly disposed".

It's still blackmail.It's legal!

That's what I'm tryin'
to get through your head!

We go the law
on our side.

BELDEN:
That's some law--

tailor-made to do
what you want it to do.

Whenever you come across
somebody makin' laws

for the benefit
of strangers,

bring 'em around.
I'd like to meet 'em.

Well?

You gonna pay
that tax or not?

Because you'd better
get used to one idea
right now.

You try drivin' that herd
past us without payin',

and you're gonna leave
at least one man behind.

We don't have
that kind of cash.

We'll take cattle.

At fair market value.

I don't have the authority
to make that kind of deal.

I'll have to wire my boss.

Tell him his grandson
says hello.

I'll do that.

Can I see Stacy?

After you send
the wire.

♪♪

They're here,
and they haven't got Stacy.

Toby, give it up.

The law's between
you and Stacy now.

If you try anything,
they have the perfect
right to kill you.

And they will, Toby!

You really gonna
send that wire?

Yeah. It might get 'em
to relax a little.

We're not gonna pay him.No.

What if Mr. Grainger
wires back and says
we should pay 'em?

He won't.

He'll pay.
I know he will.

And if you're wrong?

Then we'll fight,
right out by
those fences.

The fence won't stop
that many cattle.

The fence is to serve
legal notice

that they're crossing over
onto our range.

If that doesn't stop 'em,
we'll use guns.

You mean,
Ben and his deputies
will use guns.

I'll be with them.

There'll be dead men...

on both sides.

Including his grandson.

And if that's the way
it has to be, it has to be.

Sheriff, we won.

Message came
from Medicine Bow

addressed to
the Shiloh trail boss.

"With regards
to your request,

"you have
full authorization

to make whatever
arrangements
you deem necessary."

All right, boys.
You can go home.

We won't need you here.

Might interest you
to know that you might
not hang after all.

Your grandfather
has decided to pay.

I don't believe you.

Take a look.

Well, everybody's

Hold it.

Just what do you want?

You got one of my men
locked up.

I came to get him out.Did you, now?

[ gunshot ]

Go ahead and try it

But he means it,
and so do I.

Get the keys.

Some guys will do
anything to get out of
ridin' drag.

All quiet so far.
Horse is out back.

♪♪

Well,
you guessed right.

They got a fence
across the trail

and men to back it up.

I guess there's
nothin' more to be said.

We'll have to
take out the fence.

Let's get started.

♪♪

[ men shouting,
gunfire continues ]

Cut our share out of
the front of the herd.

When you get 'em
well away from here,

I'll cut the fence
and let 'em through.

[ gunfire ]Hear that?

It's a stampede.

Probably coming
right at us.

No, they wouldn't do that--
not with Grainger in jail.

Use your head.
They're doin' it.

Come on,
let's get out of here.

No, wait. We gotta
try to turn 'em.

How, with bullets?
It's 100-to-1 shot.

Well, then let 'em
run right over us,
if they dare.

I say they won't.

Does the money mean
that much to you?

It's not so much the money.
We can't quit

now that we've
come this far.

Maybe you're right.

But that's the shame of it.

[ shouting, gunfire ]

It's not gonna work!
We're not gonna stop 'em!

Come on!

Hobart! Give it up!

HOBART: Aaaah!

Well, so much for
the head tax.

Anybody hurt?

Yeah, one of
their men, dead.

BELDEN: Comes trouble.

My trouble.

Stay out of it.

You ain't about
to draw on that kid,
and you know it.

If you think we're
gonna stand by--

I said, stay out of it.

You were laughing at me.

No.

All that time...

tryin' to be friends,
givin' me advice.

And behind it all,
you were laughing!

You're wrong. But even
if you were right,

even if I was laughin',

the only thing that's
really hurt is your pride.

Is that worth
killing a man for?

You killed my brother.

And you want to get even.

'Cause a man doesn't
let himself

get pushed around,
right?

Does he? Do you?

No. That's why this herd
was just stampeded.

That's why there's a man
laying on that trail, dead.

But a man has to use
his common sense, too.

He doesn't draw his gun
just because somebody
loosens his cinch,

or somebody busts
into a chow line.

Doesn't take a giant brain
to figure out how to fight
that sort of thing.

We're talkin'
about my brother!

All right,
let's talk about him.

What if it was you,
Toby?

What if you were
carryin' $400
of the boss' money

and somebody tried
to rob you?

Joe didn't try
to rob you!

Are you sure.

I mean, right down
at the bottom--

are you real sure?

Because if you are,

maybe we ought to
have it out.

Right now.

♪♪

Well, I guess we'd
better start puttin'
the herd together.

Well, good law
or bad law,
you broke it,

and I can't say
I like lettin' you
get away with it.

Maybe the next herd
that comes up the trail

will have time
to fight you in court.
I didn't.

Won't be necessary.

I think I can convince
the rest of the County
Commissioners

that we made a mistake.

Good-bye and good luck.Thank you.

Sheriff.

We decided that...

Ellie's going on back
and selling the ranch.

Then we're gonna move
on up to Canada.
