[instrumental music]

[chuckles] Hey, I got you.

- You're in check. - Hmm.

Well, that was a fatal error, milady.

Your castle is tottling.

Your bishop is in jeopardy.

And your queen is doomed to extinction.

But you're still in check. [chuckles]

Hmm... you wouldn't settle for a draw, would you?

Well, why should I ?

I thought you'd say that.

[chuckles]

- Hello. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Do you play chess? - No, ma'am.

Poker's my game.

Well, let's see now.

Aren't you gonna move?

Well, I'd like to, but I don't see any possibilities.

[groaning]

Daddy!

What's wrong? Here, let me help you.

[Paul groaning]

Water, somebody get some water.

Conductor.

Breathe deep, daddy. Just breathe deep.

[groaning continues]

Well... Here.

I-- it's alright. He's had these spells before.

I know what to do.

- What's wrong here? - Ah.

Why don't you get these folks back in their seats?

The little lady seems to have everything in hand.

Alright folks, let's get back to our seats, now.

[gasps]

It's alright, daddy, just breathe deep.

[gasps]

Just rest. It's alright.

- That was a good one. - Then don't talk.

What's the matter with him?

Uh, she says that

this has happened to him before.

- I-- I'll keep an eye on him. - Or we can stop the train.

If you think it'll do any good.

W-- would it help to stop the train?

Oh, let's just get there.

Oh, alright.

But if you need me, you call on me.

Yeah.

Well, uh, could I have a blanket, please?

Sure. Here.

Thanks, I can handle it now.

Are you sure?

How far are you going?

Carlsville.

That's tomorrow morning?

It could be a long night.

Don't you worry, honey.

He'll make it.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

Hey.

How about me taking over for a while?

Oh, I'm not tired. Thanks anyways, mister.

Trampas, my name's Trampas.

Oh, I'm Hannah. Hannah Carson.

Hannah. Hmm.

I knew a girl named Hannah once.

Did you like her?

Hmm. She was married.

- To a preacher. - Oh.

But I would've liked her.

Um, you know, there's, uh,

about, uh, ooh, six hours, before we get to Carlsville.

I-- I can make it.

You sure?

Okay.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

Carole: I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

Is that perfectly clear?

I am going with Roy, I'll never come back.

What you don't realize is what kind of man he is.

Oh, he is more of a man than you ever were.

And he wants something out of life.

Not for me. I don't ask it for me.

I am tired, tired of it all.

Of the pretense, of the lies. What you can't know.

- What you have never known. - For Hannah's sake.

You're not the kind of woman

who can leave her own child.

But it's you she loves.

A proper gentleman of a father, not me.

She'll hear you. Now, Carole, listen to me.

- Carole: Let go of me. - Paul: Please.

Carole: I am going. Do you hear?

And nothing you can say can stop me.

I am going with Roy tonight.

And I-- I promise you this, Paul.

I'll never come back.

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

I'll never come back. I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

I'll never come back.

[sobbing]

[train chugging]

[instrumental music]

Really Trampas, I can make it.

Yeah, sure you can.

As soon as the doctor says so.

I've ordered a rig out from town.

Thank you, conductor.

Good luck, honey.

Board! [whistles]

Well, Trampas, it's starting.

Huh? oh, yeah. So it has.

But you told me you were going to Great Falls.

Yeah, well, I changed my mind.

I'd forgotten Carlsville's one town I always wanted to see.

No, you're lying. You're just staying to help us.

Well, that could be another reason.

Till I can find a doctor for your father

and a place for you to stay.

You don't have to, I can handle things now.

Yeah, I bet you can. I'll hurry up on that rig.

Daddy, you asked him, didn't you?

Yes, Hannah.

Does he know about... Carole?

Some. Enough.

His wife says that

Doc Harris will be here within the hour.

Well, he's out making his weekly rounds, but...

their son's gone to fetch him.

Thank you.

Is your pa feeling better now?

I think so.

Never better.

You'll find that Doc Harris is a good man.

I mean he sure knows his business.

You know that when my sister

was taken sick with the typhoid...

Excuse me, ma'am.

Do you think maybe you could stay with my father

until the doctor gets here?

Why sure, honey. But where would you--

Do you know anyone in town named Carole Carson?

No, no, I never heard of her.

Why?

I'd better go start looking.

Uh, Hannah?

Uh, you could maybe use a little help?

- Trampas. - Hmm?

Daddy told you why we're looking for my mother, didn't he?

Yeah, he told me.

Did he say it was because of me?

Mm-hmm.

That's what I want him to think.

It's how I got him to come.

But do you wanna know the truth?

He's the one who needs her.

Do you know what's really wrong with his heart?

It's broken. And I know that, even if he doesn't.

And I've got to find her for him, before...

W-- well, before anything can happen.

I've got to. I can't let anything stop me.

[chuckles]

I got a hunch that, uh, nothing's going to.

Look, uh, why don't you stay in there with you dad?

And I'll take a look around.

- Is that a deal? - Okay.

Oh, uh, Hannah, if, uh,

your mother was working in town

what would she be doing?

I don't know.

Well, how did you know that she was here?

One letter came. Just a note, sort of.

Then later, a package. A present for my birthday.

In December.

Oh.

Well, you-- you go on and see your dad, alright?

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

- Sheriff? - Mm-hmm?

Uh, I'm looking for a woman.

No, no, no. [chuckles]

No, her name is Mrs. Carson.

It says she was here around December.

Carson, December... No, I'm afraid I can't help you.

Is she, uh, wanted?

- No. - Well, have you got a picture?

I'll see if I can't dig one up.

You do that.

Thanks.

- A picture? - Travis: Mm-hmm.

Well, this is the only one I have.

Hmm.

Well... she sure is pretty.

Can I borrow it?

Okay.

Oh, sure. Sure, but not by that name.

Oh, I-- Yeah, I've seen her, alright.

- Where? - The North Star.

- Saloon? - Yeah.

- Oh, thanks. - Good luck.

Thanks.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chattering]

Uh. [chuckles]

Excuse me, uh,

I'm looking for somebody who I think works here.

Oh, who is it?

Well, uh, here, I...

I got a picture of her right here.

[music continues]

- Why? - Does she work here?

No, I asked you why?

Uh, a friend of mine is trying to find her.

A friend? [chuckles]

How much did she take him for?

Or maybe it was you, huh?

No, it's nothing like that, I'm just trying to

help him find her.

Huh? Well, she's gone.

She was working here, she called herself Alice Barnes.

She left a week, maybe, uh, ten days ago.

Ah, by request.

Why?

A fella named Roy Harkness

used to come in here regular for poker.

Used to win regular, too.

Too regular.

Bartender: See, Alice was working with him.

And when I found that out, I gave 'em both 24 hours

to get out of town before I told the Sheriff.

But do you know where she's--

- Hannah: Where did they go? - Hannah.

Well, tell me. Do you know?

- Get that kid out of here. - Yeah, alright.

- Hey. - Please, please tell me.

Where is she?

- Hannah: Do you know? - No.

Now, get her out of here.

- Do you? - Uh...

No, I don't know.

- Out - Alright, alright.

Come on. Hannah, I told you to stay...

[instrumental music]

Come on, honey.

Hannah, now you listen to me.

You never do that again, you here me?

[sighs] I had to.

I thought she was in there.

Trampas, please don't tell daddy...

that she's still with Roy. Please?

Now, now, don't worry, I-- I won't tell him. No.

You go on back to the hotel and I'll keep checking, alright?

Okay.

Trampas.

That redhead, she was lying.

She knows where they are.

- How do you know? - I just know.

Hmm. Here.

Now you'll go to the hotel?

Go on.

[piano music]

[music stops]

Okay, what is this?

Where are they?

Hannah says you are lying.

What's the matter with that kid?

Nothing. She's just trying to find her mother.

- You mean Alice? - Mm-hmm.

Maybe it'd be better if she didn't find her.

That could be. But she doesn't think so.

I don't know. I liked Alice.

She asked me not to tell in case O'Shea

tried to cause her some trouble.

Now, look. Hannah's father is sick.

He may be dying.

And she's sure if she finds her mother, it'll save him.

Well?

They're heading for a town up North.

A place called Loma.

Loma?

What did you find out?

Well, [clears throat] your hunch was right.

Redhead knew about your mother.

Well, where is she?

She's heading for a place called Loma.

- Loma? - Yeah, that's a town up North.

About 50 or 60 miles the crow flies.

But it'll take you about...

Oh, four or five days by coach or train.

Gotta go clear West to Great Falls

and then double back.

Five days to go 50 miles?

- Mm-hmm. - That's ridiculous.

A person could ride it in two.

A person, huh?

Well, just what person did you have in mind?

Well, I'll tell daddy. You get us horses.

Now, just wait a minute.

"Get us horses?"

You mean you won't go with me?

Hannah, that's a long, hard ride over a rough country.

I mean... it's hard enough for a man

let alone little sprout of a girl like you. Now--

- But I-- - Come on, let's go on inside.

Come on.

[dramatic music]

Hannah!

Hannah--

Hannah, get off that horse.

Hannah! Hannah!

Hey!

[whistles]

I've been riding since I was two

and I can take my horse anywhere you can!

And I'm going!

You're going when your father says

and where he says.

Now you get off that horse

before they get you as a horse thief.

Do you know what they do to... to kids who steal horses?

Shh. They hang 'em.

Yeah. You do ride well, though.

Get in there.

Five days you say, hm?

Uh, yeah, well, a lot will depend on

the stagecoach connections back from Great Falls.

Daddy, it's only a two-day ride over land.

And if Trampas and I started--

Trampas has been more than kind already...

for which, again, my thanks.

Oh, that's alright.

We'll carry it on from here.

Uh, excuse me.

But daddy, we might lose her again

if we wait too long.

I take it you're not kin to them.

Uh, no.

Anybody who we can contact?

Well, as you heard, the girl's mother

maybe up at Loma, but, uh...

Seems there's no one else.

Is he that bad?

Well, it's not just his heart.

Pneumonia complication with it.

He could live ten hours, maybe ten days.

Beyond that, uh...

Oh.

Well, doc, if, uh, the girl's left alone

what'll happen to her?

Well, she's a ward of the court.

Find some family to take her.

Otherwise, there's... the orphanage over at Lowlar.

No worse than most.

No better.

Thanks.

Oh, uh, Mr. Carson, I just remembered.

Trampas: I got some business I can do up at Loma

so, uh, I can make that ride for you.

Oh, when do we leave?

"We?" Oh, no, no. You're staying here with your father.

Well, but if I don't go, Carole might not come back.

- Hannah. - I have got to talk to her.

Paul: Hannah.

I'd like to speak to Trampas alone, please.

- But, Daddy-- - Paul: Hannah.

- Well... - What did he say?

- What? - The doctor.

He told me nothing.

But I was watching his eyes.

What's the verdict?

- Well, uh-- - Don't lie to me, Trampas.

He wasn't too hopeful.

How long?

Oh...

That's what I thought.

Take her with you, Trampas. Please.

Whether or not you find Carole...

it's better if Hannah isn't here.

Oh, now... Those doctors, you know, I, uh...

I-- I still don't believe him.

Don't make any bets on it.

I've put you through an awful lot of trouble.

I'd like to pay you for your time.

[chuckles]

Well, uh, I don't know the going rate

for helping a child find her mother.

So you just forget that.

Thank you.

Trampas...

there aren't many men I'd trust

to take my daughter on such a trip.

[chuckles] Well, thanks.

Uh, you know there aren't many men

who would try and take her on that trip.

Trampas: Uh... b-- by the way, uh...

Do you mind, uh, suggesting to Hannah

that every once in a while she'll do what I suggest?

I'll try.

And thank you.

[chuckles] That's alright.

Well, you just, uh... take it easy.

I'm sure everything's gonna be alright.

Hannah, be ready at 6:00 in the morning.

- I'm going with you? - That you are.

I'll get some horses and some supplies

and I'll pick you up at 6:00.

Well, let's leave right now.

No, because you need your rest

before we start out in the morning.

Now, I'll see you at six o'clock.

Boy, you sure are one for putting things off.

Hannah...

go on!

[instrumental music]

Oh, be there.

You've got to be there.

No! I'll have no part of it!

You heard her.

She calls it. That's the way it is, eh?

Well, looks like you could've saved yourself a trip.

Lafe: Oh, come on, Roy. Don't listen to her.

You said yourself, it was a perfect set-up.

Lafe, [scoffs] I'm tired. Please go.

I'll go when he starts making some sense.

- Now, look, all we have-- - Lafe, Lafe.

Roy: Use the back stairs.

And still stay out of sight.

It won't work, Roy.

Look. You and your brother do what you want.

I can't stop you.

But I am out of it.

Out of it? Why, honey, that place is a matchbox.

It's almost too easy.

And we do it at night, tomorrow night.

Now, that can mean almost an eight hour head start

for the border before they even know what's happened.

No, Roy.

Now, we case the place tomorrow, just to be sure.

For that, I need you.

But for the job itself, you'll be out of it, completely.

It's too simple. No trouble or no killing.

How can you be sure?

I tell you, I am sure.

No... don't, Roy.

Shilling is one thing.

But don't ask me to do this, please.

Do you think I'm not as tired

of this small-time action as you are?

Well, this one job can end all that.

There'll be a mine pay-roll in that safe tomorrow, honey.

Over 10,000. You know what that can mean to us?

Two days, we are in Canada.

Then East, on to Europe.

Everything I ever promised you.

Everything you deserve.

It's always the same, isn't it, Roy?

Your final argument. It never changes.

Roy?

Don't go.

[instrumental music]

Morning. I thought you were gonna sleep all day.

It's 5:30.

I told you six o'clock.

I know. But I got the horses for you.

And what's the idea of ordering me a gentle mare?

I got this chestnut instead.

Oh, you did, huh?

I hope he bucks you off.

What are we waiting for?

What about breakfast?

I had Ms. Crandall make some sandwiches.

Hannah: We can eat 'em on the way.

Whoa. Hannah!

[instrumental music]

Whoa.

Let's walk 'em for a ways now, huh?

- I'm not tired. - Yeah.

Hey. Hannah! Hey!

Hannah, pull her up. Pull her up.

You hear me? Hannah.

Hannah, when I say "pull up", you pull up. Is that straight?

Trampas: I don't care you're tired or not.

- The horses need the rest. - Wha--

And don't give me any nonsense about getting there alone.

Trampas: You wouldn't make it.

No more arguments or I'm taking you back to Carlsville.

- Is that clear? - Okay.

It's just too bad I couldn't have got

a ruggeder man to take me.

Walk 'em.

Boy, look at those falls.

Yeah.

Trampas: Sure looks nice, doesn't it?

- Yes, sirree. - It's too bad.

We got about six or five hours

before nightfall.

If we could... stop

and cool off for a while...

Nah, I guess a rugged gal like you would figure

that'd be a waste of time.

Could we, Trampas?

[chuckles] Sure. Go ahead and take a swim.

I'll wait for you behind this tree.

[Trampas whistling]

Oh, that was great.

- Yeah? - Is it cold?

Oh. Cold?

I bet it's not that cold.

[clears throat] Looky here.

Oh, boy!

Yup.

And...

- Madam? - Uh-huh.

Now it's my turn.

And, uh, you stay here, you hear?

I hear.

And Hannah, save me a sandwich.

[Trampas screams]

Whoo! It is cold.

Trampas: Whoo!

- Trampas? - Yeah?

What time will we get there tomorrow?

Uh... that depends.

Uh... maybe late afternoon.

Do you think she'll still be there?

Trampas: Huh?

Do you think she'll still be there?

She'll be there. Stop worrying.

Who's worrying?

Where will we camp tonight?

Trampas: Oh, uh, probably at the pass.

That's Indian country.

Blackfeet. Very unfriendly.

Don't worry, I'll protect you.

[chuckles]

[gun cocks]

[gunshot]

Well...

Trampas: Hey!

[gunshot]

What in the devil?

Ow, what?

What's goin' on?

What are you doin' with my gun?

I was only practicing.

I never shot a gun before.

Well, don't do it again.

Well, I just want to know how.

I-- I mean, sometime I might have to.

Would you like to give me lessons?

I was aiming at that tree.

Second time, I hit it.

Now, you listen to me.

Don't touch my gun again.

Is that clear? Don't touch it again.

I'm sorry. Gee.

Alright, I'm goin'.

Alone? Or you goin' like that?

No, I...

You look like a skinned rat.

There'll be no problem, Mrs. Davis.

We'll arrange the transfer for you.

All I need is a letter to your bank in Kansas City.

Yeah, uh, I'll see that you get it.

- Will tomorrow be alright? - Certainly.

Oh, one thing more.

Uh... these are my own separate funds.

By inheritance.

They'll be quite apart from the account

my husband would be opening.

I understand.

Now, as for helping you

find a good piece of property in this area.

Jenkins: I happen to know of several fine ranch properties.

I'd be glad to be of assistance to you.

You're very kind mister, uh...

Jenkins, Harold Jenkins.

Mr. Jenkins.

- Thank you so much. - It's a pleasure.

Dear.

[intense music]

Here. [grunts]

- How's that? - It's better than at home.

Hey, you gonna sleep with your boots on?

Yeah, too hard to get on the mornin'.

Besides, I don't wanna lose my spurs.

Good friend gave 'em to me. [Hannah chuckles]

See, I thought you were mad at me.

I was.

Then you cooked me that fine dinner.

Where'd you learn to broil a rabbit like that?

I cook a lot for daddy.

That's in the kitchen, of course.

It's much more fun over an open fire.

Yeah, huh?

[chuckles]

Now, I know a gal like you

couldn't possibly be afraid, but, uh,

in case anything happens, I'll be right here.

So, why don't you try and get some rest?

- I am tired, a little. - Yeah?

- Trampas? - Hm?

Do you really think she'll be there?

I can give odds.

[wolf howling]

What was that?

A wolf.

You think he'll come here?

Most likely not.

Oh, he may come down to take a look at us.

But, uh, wolves are more afraid of people than they are of them.

Except, maybe in the winter.

- Oh? - Yeah, it's true.

The stars are so beautiful.

Mm-hmm.

Do you know about stars?

Some.

When I have to travel by 'em.

You see that star at the end of the Big Dipper?

Yeah.

That points right to the North star.

- Polaris. - Mm-hmm.

And, uh... that one over there's Vega.

Na-uh, Vega's over there.

It's part of the constellation Perseus.

Now, Perseus was the prince who cut off

the head of the monster Medusa

to save the princess Andromeda.

- Where'd you learn all that? - My daddy told me.

He knows all the constellations.

He went to sea once when he was even younger than you are.

Oh.

Hm.

He's a wonderful man.

Except he dreams, sort of.

But he is wonderful.

Ever been married, Trampas?

No.

Ever been in love?

Yeah.

Never worked out though.

I may if I met a gal

who could cook a dinner like you did tonight

and was about, oh... ten years older.

I might've considered it.

I'm never gonna get married.

No?

Well, people who get married

just only try to change each other.

Hmm.

How 'bout children?

If I want children, I'll adopt some.

Plenty of kids who need a mother to love 'em.

Hey, look at that shooting star.

Why don't you make a...

[instrumental music]

[intense music]

Hey, wait a minute, honey.

You do me a favor and bring me another bottle of [indistinct].

Why, don't you think you've had enough?

Well, no, I ain't had enough.

I was celebrating. Man's got a right to celebrate, ain't he?

Huh?

[indistinct chattering]

[instrumental music]

Now, wait a minute, honey, I think you forgot somethin'.

What about my bottle, huh?

- Why don't you just go on home? - Well, I don't wanna go home.

- Can't celebrate at home. - Why?

Will you celebrate with me? Huh?

[laughs]

[instrumental music]

Get out. Go on. Git.

I want service here. Do you understand me?

Not tonight, friend, and not here.

No, wait, wait, I got a girlfriend.

I got girlfriend. She left me and now, I'm a free man.

It's a wonderful night and I wanna to celebrate.

Celebrate some place else, come on.

What? Oh-- Wait a minute, wait.

I'll tell you what.

I'll buy you a drink. How's that?

Some other time, friend. Now get out.

It's a wonderful night, and I wanna to celebrate

and I don't care what you say.

[gunshots]

Yee-haw!

You crazy fool, cut that out.

[explosion]

Alright, that's enough.

- Give me that back. - Run home and sleep it off.

Bartender: You can pick it up in the morning.

Man: Help, help, down the street.

There's been an explosion. I-- it's the bank.

The bank?

[intense music]

[screams]

Hey, you! Hey, stop that man, stop him!

After him, get after him.

[gun clicking]

Argh!

[instrumental music]

Where will we look first?

The saloon?

Well, that's where she was working in Carnesville.

Yeah. Now, look.

This time, I don't want you followin' to that saloon.

You hear me?

I want-- I want-- I-- is that a promise?

I guess so.

No, I want your word on it.

Alright, oh, and give me that picture that you...

Why don't you go sit up there on that porch up there and rest?

Alright.

- Sheriff? - No.

- Well, where is he? - I don't know.

Oh, ma'am, uh... I'm looking for the sheriff.

Oh, he's out with the posse.

We had a robbery here last night.

- Yeah, I heard. - Well, I'm his wife.

Um, if I can be of any help to you...

Well, I, uh...

Uh, yes, ma'am. I'm, uh...

I'm looking for a woman. Uh...

Here's her picture, right here.

Do you know this woman?

- Uh, no, I... - Who are you?

Well, I'm just, uh, looking for her.

Well, this-- this woman, and-- and the man she was with

those are the people my husband's gone after.

I mean, they robbed the bank last night.

But they didn't. They couldn't have.

- Hannah, I told you-- - You only said the saloon.

Hannah: Well, tell her she's wrong, Trampas.

It couldn't have been my mother.

- That's her mother? - Yes, ma'am.

Hannah.

Maybe it's a mistake, honey.

I mean, it's just that, well, she-- she was seen

in the bank with this man yesterday.

Woman: And now, they're both gone.

But we-- we aren't sure.

That-- that fella, uh, in the cell,

he could probably tell us something about it.

- Oh? - Oh, he was caught last night.

My husband's sure he has something to do with it.

But tryin' to talk to him, that's a waste of time.

- Hannah. - Mister.

Nobody named Carole Carson

had anything to with it, did she?

I don't know anyone by name of Carole Carson.

I don't know nothin' about any bank robbery

and it's a fine thing a man can't even get drunk and--

- Hey! - What?

We've gotta go looking. Don't you see?

They think she's guilty, just because no one's seen her.

- But, if we can find her-- - Sure, sure.

But I'll do the looking. You're gonna stay at the hotel.

Oh, no, uh, l-- let her stay with me.

I mean, a hotel's no place for kid.

Woman: I'll look after her.

Trampas, please let me come with you.

Hannah, I'll, uh, I'll keep looking for her

and if she's in town, I'll come for ya.

If she's not, then we'll have to wait for the posse

and that'll probably be in the morning.

And we will know more then.

You do believe my mother's guilty.

No, Hannah.

I-- I don't know.

I mean, I hope not. But I-- I don't know.

Trampas: Now why don't you just try and get some sleep?

And I'll get you in the mornin', hmm?

Alright?

I thank you, ma'am. Goodnight.

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental music]

[intense music]

[whispering] - Mister. Shh. - Little hot.

You do know, don't you?

Is that woman there after my mother?

Look, I told you before, I don't know nothin' about it.

Hannah: Shh.

Only you're lying.

Look, will you get out of here? Go back to bed.

All I want to know is where she is now.

If you know, tell me, please.

- Look, I told you... - Shh.

Um.

Just how bad you want to get to her?

What do you mean?

I mean, uh, supposin' I did know your mother

and supposin' I knew she ran away with somebody.

With Roy Harkness.

Uh, and, uh, she never knew that he'd

just held up a bank and that the posse was after her.

She'd be in a heap of trouble now, wouldn't she?

I mean, uh...

someone should warn her, right?

- Well, I can, I will. - No, no.

Where did they go?

You'd never find her. You wouldn't.

No.

But you could take me.

Keys are on the peg, hangin' right on the wall there.

You won't just run off?

You will take me to her?

- You swear it? - Sure.

Key's on the peg.

No, first I'll get our horses. They're out back.

You say you know my mother.

- What's her name? - Carole.

You heard me say that.

What name did she use in Carlsville?

Alice.

I'll be right back.

[indistinct whispering]

[intense music]

There he is.

- She's-- she's gone. - What?

S-- she's gone. And-- and the feller in the cell, with her.

He's gone too, Mr. Hendrickson.

Yeah, out-- out, out East.

See, I was headin' home, they come by me ridin' hard.

But I seen the fellow was that man they caught last night.

- You gotta find 'em. - Yes, alright.

Can you-- can you show me where

you last saw 'em, where they're headed?

Yeah, I'll-- I'll take you out there.

Alright, thank you.

Thank you.

Alright, kid.

- Ride's over. - Well, what do you mean?

Go on, head on back now. Git.

You promised.

You swore you'd take me.

That's right, I did. Now, git.

[laughing]

Alright, hold it up.

- I won't let you leave me. - Oh, you won't, eh?

Don't you dare.

You know what I'll tell them when they find me tied up?

- What? - That you kidnapped me.

Hannah: And you know what they do to men who kidnap girls?

- They hang them. - Yeah.

But if you do take me,

even if they catch us,

I'll tell them it was my fault.

I made you do it.

Hannah: I'll tell the judge that.

I promise. And I keep my promises.

Anyway, I will this one.

I swear it.

Please?

I've got to get to her.

Alright, let's go. Come on.

Ho, ho, ho, ho.

- Ho! - Whoo, uh.

It ain't no use, friend.

We ain't gonna get 'em. Not tonight, anyhow.

They had too much of a start.

Well, we'll keep trying anyway.

No, no, not me. Uh...

I'm sorry, I just can't make it.

Look now, the best idea would be for you

to go on back to town and wait for the sheriff.

- No. - Yeah.

Well, uh...

Look now, the odds are

they-- they followed that trail

on... to Crown Creek.

That's about three or four miles.

They'll cross that then they'll turn North

and head for the border.

Okay.

Well, thanks.

- Good luck. - Whoo.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

All clear, honey.

[intense music]

[music continues]

Well, how do you like it?

The mansion I always promised you, huh?

Can we just go on?

No, I told Lafe we'd meet him here.

Anyway, you've got to get some rest.

Hey, lie down in here.

- Could we build a fire? - Uh-uh.

Hey, it's not that cold.

Carole, it's over, done.

Smooth and easy, just like I said.

Come on, now.

Get some rest.

Wonder who lived here.

Oh, some old joker, probably

tryin' to make a strike.

Hm, over four years ago.

Shame.

Nobody ever told him there was an easier way.

[instrumental music]

Hey, look.

Cheyenne hunting party.

Better go this way.

Come on.

[horses galloping]

Better water these horses.

Better get yourself a drink too.

It's gonna be a long trip.

Hey! Come back here!

You liar! You crook!

Stop it! That's my horse!

There's a road back down about three or four miles.

Wait there. Somebody'll pick you up.

You're a low down, no good crook.

You're a...

You know what you are!

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[horses galloping]

Hello.

Hi.

How.

Do either of you speak English?

I speak.

Oh, thank goodness.

Can you help me?

Hannah: M-- my brother, he's lost somewhere.

We got separated when my horse threw me.

Could you take me to him? Please?

[speaking in foreign language]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

Hey, I thought you were gonna get some rest.

Oh, don't worry, he'll make it.

You know, it could be he just

had to, uh, lay low in town

until it was safe to leave.

Also could be that they caught him.

They never saw us together. What can they do?

Over 12,000.

You agree now it was worth it?

Here.

Buy yourself a sable coat.

You'll be the most beautiful woman in Paris.

Roy, I'm-- I'm still afraid.

I-- I don't know why.

It-- it, it's a feeling.

Please, shouldn't we go on?

We'll wait another hour.

[instrumental music]

Hi, brother dear.

Sorry you couldn't find me.

Thanks very much.

I hope I can do something for you someday.

Take better care of child.

Man: You are fool to lose her.

Oh, it was all my fault.

Still, he is fool.

[speaking in foreign language]

What are we waiting for, brother dear?

[dramatic music]

Is that where we're goin'?

That's right.

Come on. Git.

Hyah, hyah!

Carole?

Uh, I'm goin' up away and check for Lafe.

What is this?

That's Carole's kid.

That's right, Mr. Harkness.

- You brought her here? - I brought her?

You should have been there. This kid keeps showin' up.

Hannah: Where is my mother? Is she up there?

No.

No, I haven't seen your mother in, um, months.

You're lying.

She rode off from Loma with you after the robbery.

He told me.

Hannah: So you're a liar.

And you're also a card sharp.

And a wife stealer.

And now, you're a bank robber.

And I'll tell everybody unless you let me see Carole.

Your mother went back. Alone.

You're still lying.

Roy: Now Hannah, I have no desire

to see a young girl hurt.

Hannah: You'd better not. They'd hang you for it.

But you're going back now.

You're not following Lafe and me.

Is that clear?

Hang you by the neck

till you're dead.

Lafe, take her back and tie her up.

Leave her horse with her.

Tie her loose enough so she can get free.

- Hey, hey. - Carole.

Mother? Carole.

[dramatic music]

Carole!

Mother!

Hannah.

Oh, Hannah.

I-- I came to take you back.

Hannah: It's daddy. He needs you.

He's sick.

Tell them, tell them you'll go.

We're pulling out.

Sure to be a posse following them.

Hannah: No, she's coming back. Tell them.

Do you want Hannah in the middle of a shoot out?

Now, mount up.

He's right this one time.

Get on your horse.

[intense music]

[music continues]

Come on. I know we can do it.

- Come on. - No, Hannah, wait.

But we got to.

You can't let him take us any farther.

We've gotta get back.

Daddy's sick.

- Keep moving. - A moment, Roy.

I've got to talk to her.

The border's three hours away.

You can talk then.

Oh, don't listen to him.

Daddy'll be worried.

I've been gone so long now.

Hannah, there are certain things

you're still too young to understand.

I'm not too young.

I know you and daddy got married.

And when he needs you

no one can be more important.

Hannah, do you want your mother in danger?

It's your fault, if she is.

I told you, Roy, leave us alone.

Trampas: Hannah!

It's Tramp--

Hannah, you keep quiet.

Come on.

[dramatic music]

Hannah!

Hannah?

[music continues]

Hannah? Whoo.

- Hold it. - Hannah.

Right there.

Turn around.

Now take off your gun belt.

What's going on?

Lafe: I'll take it.

Hey!

You can't hurt him.

He's Trampas, he's a friend.

Be quiet.

Well, I see you found her, Hannah.

Now, Mrs. Carson.

Trampas: I made a promise to your husband

to help Hannah try and find you

and bring her back, with you, if you'll come.

That's all I care about.

The rest is none of my business

and I'm willing to leave it there.

- Who is following you? - Trampas: Nobody.

Posse's headed West, away from Loma.

You're not gonna believe that, are you?

Hannah: He's telling the truth.

And Lafe knows it too.

Let him go.

Tell them to let Trampas go.

Roy, if the man is alone...

Tie him up and gag him. We'll leave him here.

Roy, no.

It might be days before somebody found him.

He could die.

Go ahead, Lafe.

[dramatic music]

Give me the gun, Carole.

Carole, the gun!

Don't come any closer, Roy.

Hold it right there, Trampas.

Just which way are you gonna keep pointing that thing?

How 'bout it, Carole?

You heard him, Roy.

He came to take Hannah back

and he's going to do it.

Well, what about us?

Gonna let this cowhand wreck everything?

Roy: He will, if he takes us back.

Trampas: You know I can't do that.

Not alone.

I could never get you there.

Not without putting Hannah in danger

and I'm not about to do that.

Trampas: Like I said before,

your business has nothing to do with me.

You can just...

head up that trail and go to the border

for all I care.

Trampas: Just so that girl's not hurt.

I think you better do as he says, Roy.

And what about you?

Roy: You know what'll happen if you go back, Carole.

Go on, Roy.

You can't go back.

Go on!

Lafe?

You are coming back.

[instrumental music]

Hannah...

if I do come back

do you know what'll happen to me?

Well, you weren't in on the robbery.

Only I was.

And...

baby...

even if I weren't...

You were wrong about Paul needing me.

It's you he needs, and terribly.

Not me, not anymore.

You may be right

that I broke his heart.

But if I came back,

I'd only break it over again.

Hannah, I'm not the girl he married.

And I haven't been for a long time.

When you get married, it says,

"Till death do us part."

Yes, I know it does.

But when you're older, you will realize

that... other things can part us too.

Things you sometimes can't control.

But maybe you'll understand...

even if you can't forgive me.

Hannah...

Uh, I can't come back

because of what I am.

And so, you'll just have to leave me.

Go on.

I don't want you.

Who cares?

[sobbing]

[sobbing]

Hannah?

Don't tell daddy I cried.

Please, don't tell him.

Now, now.

Anyway...

a woman isn't a woman until she,

until she cries.

Nah-uh.

Now, uh, you listen.

You wait right here, you hear me?

Right here.

[instrumental music]

Trampas: Carole?

Carole!

Please go on, Mr. Trampas.

Take her back. That was hard enough to do.

For who?

Trampas: Mrs. Carson, there's still something you don't know.

You're husband isn't just sick.

He's dying.

Trampas: The doctor gave him ten days at the most.

Oh, no. Does Hannah know that?

No, I'd say something like that,

if the little girl is to know,

it should come from her mother.

Trampas: There's something else, Mrs. Carson.

When I told your husband I'd help Hannah find you,

he said Carole's a fine woman.

Trampas: And what happened between you two was...

was nobody's fault.

And if it wasn't for Hannah,

he-- he'd still let you go.

Trampas: But he didn't.

Because of Hannah, he took a trip

that may have cut years out of his life.

Trampas: So Hannah could find you.

Even if that's true,

I-- I can't go back because of the money.

Well, uh...maybe that...

that money isn't a problem.

As a matter of fact,

maybe anybody who were to...

bring it back might be very welcome.

But how on Earth?

Oh, a slight switch while

you and Roy were welcoming Hannah.

I'm afraid your, uh,

friends are gonna be in for a small surprise

when they reach Canada.

So, uh, the money isn't the problem.

That leaves the real problem.

How can I ever be the mother she deserves?

Trampas: Mrs. Carson, you're the only mother Hannah's got.

Maybe now, the only parent she's got.

Trampas: And if your husband is right,

Hannah is you all over again.

But you can be or do anything you wanted to.

Starting now.

And nobody can stop you.

[dramatic music]

[Hannah sobbing]

Mother!

- Mother! - Oh, Hannah.

Oh, poor baby.

Oh, Hannah.

[dramatic music]

Hannah?

Uh... maybe, uh...

Maybe I better go in first and check.

No, we'll all go in.

Mother told me last night.

Oh. Alright.

It's the doctor.

Doctor, this is my mother, Mrs. Carson.

How is daddy? I-- is he...

He's alive.

And improved?

I wish I could say that, Mrs. Carson.

I can't.

Harris: As I told you, he probably had ten days at most.

I'm still not sure I was wrong.

But you are, you've got to be.

Young lady, I've never believed in miracles.

But I've known some people who could make 'em happen.

We'll see.

In any case, I'm glad you're here, Mrs. Carson.

Is it alright to see him now?

That's better medicine than I could prescribe.

Well, come on, Trampas.

No, Hannah.

T-- this is strictly a family matter.

Besides, I gotta be riding on.

You say goodbye to your father for me.

I-- I guess you know that

sometimes there-- there's no words.

You've said them.

Trampas...

is almost 13 old enough to be kissed goodbye?

[instrumental music]

Oh.

I'd still say, if you were only ten years older.

Come and find me in ten years and...

Or I can find you.

Wherever you are.

- That, I believe. - Oh.

Go on.

- Bye. - Bye-bye.
