Yes, sir, nothing like a bath and a shave

after a hot day's ride.

Sort of gets the blood to coursing, as you might say.

There now. How's that feel?

Good.

You know, I'll tell you something.

After a week like this, this is exactly the thing

I'd prescribe for myself.

You know, after I close up and I pull down the shades

and I lock the doors, I fill that tub in there

with water just as hot as I can stand it.

Then I kind of sink down in it with my clothes off, of course.

And all my troubles wash away.

And I dump 'em out with the used water.

There. I guess that does it.

Ah, cooked to a turn, I'd say.

I'll give you a little... Little dab of this.

Ahh... here we go.

There. Uh-oh. Oh, hold on there.

I missed one.

Gotta... Gotta make it perfect.

There we go. That's better.

Now. There you go.

I'm sorry to keep you here after your closing time.

That's perfectly all right all right, sir.

It's always a pleasure to take care of a gentleman like you.

I don't mind staying anyway,

'cause when I go home, I got nobody to talk to.

- I'm a bachelor. - There you go.

- Are you stranger in town? - Yeah.

You just passing through, or you planning to stay with us?

I'm just passing through.

Well, if you're looking for a little lively entertainment,

I can recommend the minstrel show over at the Four Aces.

It's replete with lively tunes and toe-tapping rhythms.

Here's your change.

Thank you.

I guess I'll settle for a quiet evening.

Well, to each his own.

- Good night now. - Good night, sir.

♪

Well? My room ready?

Yes, sir. We took your bag up for you.

Is there anything else you'll be needing?

Does the stage for Medicine Bow leave tomorrow?

- Yes, sir. - What time?

Usually around noon.

They pick up the mail and leave about a quarter past.

- I wanna leave on it. - I'll arrange it for you.

Upstairs and to your left.

Thanks.

I'm not the person you want.

Why don't you just get out of here and leave me alone?

Look, I said get out.

You're hurting me!

Please leave me alone!

Just get out! Get out, and leave me alone!

Stop it! No, please, get out!

No! No, let me go!

Please, let me go!

([woman shouts)

- You hurt, miss? - No.

Let's have a look.

Jenny.

Jenny Davis.

Yes.

What were they doing to you? Who were they?

I-I don't know.

What happened?

Oh, they...

One pretended he was a desk clerk

with a telegram, and when I opened the door,

they forced their way in.

- What did they want? - I don't know.

Had you ever seen them before?

No, they just kept asking me to tell them something.

They must have thought they knew you.

But I didn't know them.

Believe me, I'm as confused about this as you are.

If I knew what it was all about, I'd tell you.

Maybe they thought you were somebody else.

I suppose so.

You'd better have a doctor look at that.

No, no, it's all right.

I suppose there's no point in trying to find them now.

Jenny Davis.

What a way to meet again after all these years.

It's Jenny Grues now.

Oh.

Well, it's good to see you again, Jenny.

It's good to see you.

Here. Sit down.

Thank you.

What are you doing here anyway?

Just passing through.

Are you traveling with your husband?

No.

No, he's... he's dead.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Look, let me get a doctor to look at that,

and you'd better speak to the Sheriff, too.

I don't want to bother.

They didn't hurt me, and they didn't take anything.

Well, Jenny, they broke in, and you are hurt.

Now, look, I'll talk to the Sheriff...

No, please, I don't want you to.

- Look you've gotta do something... - No.

Uh... all right.

Could we... could we talk later, please?

I'm... I'm sorry. I'm... I'm so rattled right now.

I... I haven't even thanked you.

I... I really would like to just be alone for a little while

to sort of get myself together.

Oh, sure, of course.

I'm in the room directly across the hall

if you need anything.

All right.

Have you had supper?

N-no.

Would you like some company?

All right. Thank you.

I'll knock on the door

when I get myself more presentable.

That's fine.

Put the chair against the door.

♪

We lived very quietly, really.

My husband was interested in real estate, town planning,

nothing in the least melodramatic,

nothing that could explain what happened this afternoon.

Unless...

Unless what?

Well, tell me about yourself.

What have you been involved with all this time?

- Did you marry? - No.

Did you have a happy marriage, Jenny?

Yes.

He was... a wonderful man.

I loved him very much.

He shouldn't have died.

I'm sorry I didn't know him.

You would have liked him.

When did you marry?

About a year after I last saw you.

Took me longer than that to get you out of my mind.

- Did it? - Mm-hmm.

Apparently, he gave you a better life

than a saddle tramp could have.

Oh, now, I never called you that.

Well, somebody did.

I called you a drifter, and you were.

Mm.

But you look like a man of substance yourself now.

You haven't told me what you do.

I'm foreman at Shiloh Ranch near Medicine Bow.

Big cattle spread. I'm here on ranch business.

Medicine Bow?

Yes. What about it?

When are you going back?

On tomorrow's stage. Why?

I lied to you about something.

The men in my room,

I have seen them before. Excuse me.

When?

Three days ago in Cottonwood.

Do you know who they are or why they were following you?

No.

Jenny, you've got to talk to the Sheriff.

No, I... I don't want to make a fuss.

Why not, Jenny?

Because it would only delay me, and I can't stay.

I just can't. I must leave tomorrow.

Where you going?

I'm taking tomorrow's stage, too.

I'm going past Medicine Bow...

on to Dry River.

Then we'll be riding together to Dry River.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to...

I-I've never been frightened before.

I don't know how to ask someone to help.

I had no right to do that.

Jenny, what else haven't you told me?

If I'm going to help you, I've got to know.

Can't you think of any reason why those men are following you?

No.

Could it have something to do with your husband?

Did he have any enemies?

Did you know all of his friends, everything he did?

Just before my husband died, he went on a trip,

only for two or three days.

Where?

Dry River.

Why are you going there?

I had a telegram from a man there.

He said he knew my husband

and that it was important for me to meet him there.

- Didn't he say anything more? - No.

I wired back and asked him.

He said he'd explain when he sees me.

I'm so glad you're going to be with me.

Would you like to go for a little walk?

No, thank you. I'm... I'm really tired.

- Do you mind? - No.

See me to my room?

Sure.

♪

Just a minute.

Well... no visitors.

- Good night. - Good night.

Thank you for everything.

You haven't changed.

No.

It's good to see you again.

Yes, it is.

♪

Whoa. Whoa, boy. Whoa.

Whoa. Ho there, boy. Ho, ho, ho.

Ain't you coming out, Mr. Randolph?

I think not. I'm better off staying here.

Maybe I can fetch you something, maybe something cool to drink?

Thank you, no.

Well, then, I think I'll just get out and stretch my limbs.

Jenny? The stage just pulled in.

Oh.

I'll be just a minute.

Here. Let me get that.

Thank you.

Is this all the mail?

Yeah, and most of it week-old newspapers.

- Anything to go? - Just these.

Oh, and I got another passenger for you.

Driver.

You go through Warren Pass, don't you?

No, that washed out two months ago.

Oh? What route you take now?

Straight out to Crazy Woman Creek.

Road bends there

up to the big rocks and on to Alkali.

Stop there for the night.

No stops before you get Alkali?

Water the horses maybe at, uh, Woods Creek

if it ain't run dry.

- No town stop? - Don't pass through no town.

Mm. How many passengers you carrying?

Well, that all depends. You riding with us?

No.

Mister, for a man who's not riding on this stage,

you're mighty curious about where it goes.

You mind telling me why?

Why should I?

Because I am riding on it, and I'd like to know

if somebody's planning a party for it.

Well, who are you?

The man who just asked you a question.

Well, mister, that means exactly nothing to me.

Jenny, do you know this man?

No. No. I never saw him before.

Mister, maybe I owe you an apology,

but you'd make things a lot easier if you'd tell me

why you wanted to know all those things about the stage.

I was curious.

That's a good answer. I'll remember it.

If you folks are going, better get aboard.

Oh, thank you.

Wait just a minute! Wait for me!

- Can I help you up? - Yes, thank you.

I do believe we should introduce ourselves,

long as were gonna sort of be keeping company for a while.

My names Mary Ann Travers,

and this here's Mr. Randolph.

How do you do? I'm Mrs. Grues.

- Hello. - How do you do?

Mr. Randolph's traveling west for his health,

and I'm meeting up with an aunt I never seen before,

and I'm gonna live with her on the ranch,

and I'm just excited as I can be about it.

♪

Hah! Yah!

Where you traveling to?

Dry River.

- And you? - The same.

Oh.

It's just a coincidence, Mary Ann.

We're old acquaintances, and we met again last night.

Well, my goodness.

You certainly don't have much to say for yourself, do you?

Not much to talk about.

You just like being mysterious.

I think this is the most exciting trip

I'm ever gonna have.

Beautiful lady and a mysterious... stranger.

And an invalid gentleman.

A lunger.

And me!

All traveling together on the same stage

into who knows what.

♪

When do we take her?

When I say.

Thank you.

Is someone following?

I'm not sure.

I haven't seen anything for a while.

Evidently, you expected it. Why?

That's kind of nosy, Mister.

They're... They're following me.

I don't know why.

It's been going on for several days.

Interesting.

Some men broke into my room last evening.

I don't know what they wanted.

This gentleman fought them off.

How very gallant.

How do you propose to cope with them?

Depends on what they do.

Are they law officers?

No.

Can you use that gun?

Yes.

That's good.

I am armed myself.

I may be ill,

but I have a healthy will to survive

and a destination I mean to reach.

I would have chosen a calmer journey,

but... but if somebody plans to interrupt it,

I assure you, madam, it is not just gallantry.

I'm very grateful.

Take a look behind you, driver!

I've been watching them. What do they want of us?

I ain't carrying nothing worth taking.

Well, they don't know that! Lose them if you can!

Hyah! Hyah!

♪

What's the matter?

Nothing yet. We may have some trouble.

Oh, that's all right.

I'm brave.

I'm sure.

They're closing in.

Hah!

Hah!

Hah!

Hah!

Oh, my gosh.

Everybody all right?

- I'm all right. - How are you doing?

Get up to those rocks. Get behind one of them and hide.

And stay put. Hurry up now.

Where'd they go?

They'll turn up.

Maybe they wasn't chasing us at all.

They was riding awful fast.

Then why didn't they ride past us?

Well, I don't know.

We gotta get out of here

No use, mister. It's busted.

How far are we from the station?

- Another four or five hours. - What about these horses?

They're wagon-broke, not saddle.

Them ladies couldn't ride them. Besides, there's only four.

How much water you carrying?

I got a full keg in the back, and I got a canteen up on top.

- Carrying any food? - No.

Get the canteen, and let's make it to the rocks.

Hurry up.

Do you want to try to reach the station by horse?

We'd have to leave them. We can't do that.

You gotta stay here.

I'll take one of the horses and go for help.

Well, those fellas are after us, not you.

I think you'll be safe.

How long do you think it'll take you to get back?

Not before mid-morning. Gotta get a new wheel.

All right, go on. Get going.

I'll cover you.

♪

Where are they?

Not far away. You can bet on it.

Well, they ain't going nowheres,

not for a long time.

You do the right thing, and heaven will reward you.

Should we move in on them now?

We can.

We can do something smarter, like not getting shot at.

We'll move in a little closer,

down below, behind that rock.

And don't let them see us.

Once they know we're here,

what they can't see, they'll worry about.

All right, Jenny, get on up there.

- Take that with you. - What are you going to do?

I'm gonna get whatever I can out of the stage.

- Well, I'll help. - No, you won't.

Randolph, you cover me while I'm out there.

Go on now.

This looks like a good spot.

Yeah.

We've got a good view of what's happening down there.

If there should be trouble, we could see it coming.

They won't be able to pick us off.

You get the feeling we're being watched?

Yeah, right in the back of my neck.

I'm beginning to feel self-conscious.

I hope we're not boring them.

Wish I knew why they were holding off.

I'm sorry I got you into this.

Enough of that, Mrs. Grues.

I got my own reasons for joining in this fight,

even if it's not my concern.

- See what you've done? - Here.

No, I've got my own cup.

Thanks. How much water do we have?

There's a full keg on the back of the stage,

but I couldn't get it loose.

Should be enough with what's in the canteen,

except we have to share with the horses.

I've gotta get back down there and picket them somewheres.

I can't leave them standing in the sun like that.

It's so quiet.

Yes.

But you're being a brave girl about this, Mary Ann.

Gets a little darker, I'll scout around for some wood,

maybe scare up a rabbit for supper.

Unless you're partial to rattlesnake.

Can you see them from here?

They're perched right over there behind those rocks.

All they got is what they could carry.

If they want anything else...

Boys, we're sitting in the seats of the mighty.

All we have to do is keep right on sitting.

Ain't we gonna take her?

Oh, we'll take her.

How much more of this water have we got left?

If we run out, I know where there's a water hole

only a piece a ways from here.

Good, good. We'll leave the horses there.

Are we gonna stay?

There are four of them and only three horses.

Most of their water is in that stage keg.

I'd sure hate to see that keg spring a leak.

Hey, that... that driver, he's gonna be back tomorrow

with help, most like.

If you can think of a way of stopping him.

Well, yeah, but if he don't get back to the station

with that stage, they're gonna come looking for him.

Not for two more days, they ain't.

We gonna stay that long?

Why don't you just move in on them right now?

Boy, you sure don't mind getting shot at, do you?

Maybe you'd like to see her catch a bullet.

If you do things my way, we don't risk anything,

and they lose everything.

Gonna thirst them out, huh?

We're going to do a little more than that.

We don't do anything until tonight.

♪

- All quiet? - Not a sound.

I'll stand watch for a while.

No, I'm not tired.

Yes, but you will be, and I for one prefer

that you be alert in case of an emergency.

I haven't used this in years,

but it's in good condition, and one doesn't forget.

All right.

Can't you sleep? What is it?

They want me, not the rest of you.

Look, if you're thinking about giving yourself up to them,

just forget about it, because it wouldn't work.

They know if they took you, the minute we got to town,

we'd have posses on their trail,

so they wouldn't let us get to town.

Then what do we do?

Wait.

For what? Until they make a move?

Until the driver gets back.

Will they let him?

We'll face that when we have to.

Look, Jenny, nobody's very brave at this time of night.

But they haven't done anything yet.

Maybe they won't.

We'll just have to wait and find out.

What happened?

All right, everybody stay back.

Why are they shooting?

I don't think they were shooting at us.

The horses are gone. They cut 'em loose.

They got us pinned down here.

♪

♪

How you doing?

Give me the canteen.

I'll make a run and get it filled.

Sorry I frightened you.

Hope you girls don't mind rabbit again for breakfast.

I scared him as much as he scared me, I guess.

Easy with the water, Mary Ann.

I found out what they were shooting at last night.

The water keg is full of holes.

This is all we have left till the driver gets back.

Why are they doing this? I mean, who are they?

I told you before. We don't really know.

Look, we've just got to keep our heads about us.

And I know you can do it, Mary Ann.

Yeah, well, I'll try.

We don't really know where they are,

but we can be pretty sure they can see us and anything we do.

I think we're safe enough here.

They let me get down to the stage

without trying to stop me,

because they wanted us to know our water was gone,

but I don't think they'll let us get away from here.

Well, what about the driver?

How we gonna get to him when he comes?

I'll figure out some way. Don't worry about it.

In the meantime, we just sit tight, all right?

No, I'll be all right.

I've lived through worse and survived.

I'm glad you're on our side.

You know what they're trying.

Yes.

Don't let 'em break you,

and don't go feeling the way you felt last night.

If that driver doesn't come...

We'll scout around, maybe find a water hole,

maybe track the horses.

They'll see you.

I'll make sure they don't.

I've got to know one thing, Jenny.

Have you been telling me the truth?

Yes. I have.

Alfie's back.

Good, good. I always could trust that boy.

You know, Mort, you oughta take a lesson from him.

Once he sets his mind to do something, it gets done.

How'd it go?

Nice.

I never seen two more surprised fellas.

Good, good. Any trouble?

Oh, nah, there was just the two of 'em in the wagon,

driver and this fellow with a shotgun.

They were sitting up there like two cans on a fence post,

and I just popped 'em off.

Then I cut the horses loose and burned the wagon.

See? What'd I tell you?

Anything happening here?

No. They're cooking away real slow.

They'll move soon.

♪

Does anybody know what time it is?

Past noon.

Driver's not coming.

Something's held him up is all.

Well, that's the last of the water.

I'm gonna try making it down the back slope.

It's less likely they'll see me.

There's a lot of dry washes around here.

One of them ought to lead to a water hole.

If I don't find one, we can hold out till tomorrow.

By then, they'll have folks out hunting us.

If anything happens here and you need me, fire this.

Be... careful.

Just as careful as I know how.

Something's moving.

Yeah. Other side of them rocks.

Man or a woman?

Man.

That means they're out of water,

and they're looking for some.

Don't let him get near it.

Well, I can't see him anywhere.

Well, if you can't, they can't.

That's a pretty good range.

I've hit further. You want me to pick him off?

No. A dead hostage doesn't do anyone any good.

Do like I say.

Oh, his fever's higher.

I wish I had some cologne. I could use it to cool him.

Oh, I have some in the stage.

Why did they want you?

Oh, they didn't want me.

♪

You all right, Mary Ann?

You just stay away from me, you hear?

I don't want to have nothing to do with you.

What's the matter? W-why did she say that?

You always were a convincing liar.

Let's have the truth.

- I've been telling you. - Stop it.

You know what they want. They told her.

I don't!

The truth, Jenny.

Those men told Mary Ann that we'll all die

if you don't tell them where the money is.

What money?

Is it theirs? Did you take it from them?

Did your husband?

Jenny, answer me. What was your husband?

My husband's a thief.

He isn't dead. He's in prison.

When will he get out?

Not for another year.

Who are those men?

His partners, I think.

I-I never knew them.

He said there were four of them besides him.

What money are they talking about?

They took it from a bank.

My husband hid it six years ago before he went to prison.

I guess somehow, they... They think I know where it is.

They must've been watching me.

I went to visit him last week, and then I started on this trip.

They probably think he told me where it was.

Well, he didn't...

and I don't know.

Then why are you going to Dry River?

My family's there. I'm going to be with them.

You're lying.

Fine, I'm lying.

Jenny, why are you doing this?

Is the money so important to you?

- How much is it? - I don't know.

- You do know. - All right, I do know.

Jenny, tell me the truth. I don't care what it is.

We're in trouble here, and lying won't get us out.

I have been telling you.

No, you haven't!

- Where you going? - To them.

- No, you're not. - Why not?

Because I don't believe a word you've told me.

There's some other reason why you're doing this,

and I want to know what it is.

I'm thirsty, and they have water.

Now you stop that.

Did you know he was a thief when you married him?

No.

When did you find out?

When they arrested him.

Did you know he'd hidden the money?

He told me once when I visited him in prison.

But he didn't tell you where it was,

and you didn't know those men were looking for it.

And they never came to you or threatened you

or followed you, not before the other night

- in the hotel room? - No.

All right.

It doesn't change anything. We're still here.

And whether you're lying or not, I can't turn you over to them,

and I won't.

We'll get out. Now come on up here.

Don't you get tired just waiting?

We don't have to wait much longer.

They'll make a move come around sundown.

How do you know?

Mort, why don't you hearken to the wisdom of the wise?

I'm harkening.

When they make their move, we'll move down

and be there waiting for 'em.

She'll come to us. You'll see.

Then we'll have them without anyone getting shot at.

Jenny, Mary Ann, come up here. I want to show you something.

Look at that ridge over there. Fix it in your mind.

Why?

So you'll know the shape of it in the dark.

Look at the hills around it on both sides.

Look close, both of you.

When it's dark enough and they can't see us,

we're gonna go down there, cross over to that ridge,

climb it, and go down the other side.

Oh, he won't be able to.

What's on the other side?

Horses and a water hole. I saw them earlier.

Why didn't you tell us?

I didn't want to get your hopes up.

That's where their camp is.

There's a chance we can make it in the dark.

Maybe we can get close enough to them and surprise them

and maybe get a chance at their horses.

What about Mr. Randolph? He can't ride.

- We can't leave him here. - It'll kill him.

John stands a better chance going with us than staying behind.

They won't take kindly to our making off with their horses,

and if they find him...

Oh, Mr. Randolph!

His unconscious.

He has to have water.

Jenny! Jenny, wait! Come back here!

Jenny, come back! Wait up, Jenny!

Don't go over there! Jenny!

That's far enough!

Give me your gun, mister.

Now call down your friends.

One of them is sick.

Please, I-I'll come with you.

Give him some water.

Alfie, take a look.

You know what happens if he gets into trouble.

Hold... Hold still.

I ain't gonna hurt a pretty little thing like you.

You better come on up here, Kinroy!

Get 'em up there, Mort. Get 'em up there!

Come on. Come on.

Looky here, Kinroy. Looky here what we got.

Well, what do you know? It's him.

but it's him, all right,

Haven't set eyes on him in years.

We didn't do anything,

didn't have to, seeing as how you were still hanging on.

But you know what we want, don't you, partner?

She claims you never told her where you hid it.

I didn't.

I believe you.

But you're gonna tell us, aren't you, partner?

There are three good reasons why you should.

Her...

her...

and him.

Oh, they want you to tell.

So take your time. Give it a little thought.

But you'd better come up with the right answer.

Otherwise, they ain't gonna live.

Just remember, you're the smart one.

You're the one that always figured things out for us.

I bet you figure this out, too.

They let you out of prison early because you were sick,

didn't they? And you and the missis

fixed to meet on the stage so we wouldn't know about it.

My, my.

The things folks'll do for money.

Here's water.

I tell you, it does the heart of a man good

to see his friends enjoying his hospitality.

Now, are you gonna tell us or not?

Just a minute.

How can you be sure he's telling the truth?

You three'll be sure if he isn't.

Suppose he died while you were finding out he lied.

There's another way you can be sure.

Why are you so anxious to help?

Save my neck. You want a deal?

What kind?

You give her part of the money.

Now, just why should I do that?

Because then he'll tell you where it is.

You want her to have it, don't you?

Would you tell them if they agree to a split?

I don't trust them.

You don't have any choice, Grues.

You know how sick you are.

If you die before you tell 'em, she won't get any of it.

Will you split with her?

Sure.

Three of us and her?

That's a quarter each share.

Hey.

If we find it.

I give you my solemn word, partner.

All right, tell me.

Are you buying time?

Yeah.

What's he saying?

Louder so we can all hear.

He'll kill you after he finds it.

You let me worry about that.

Time's running out on you, partner.

Do I have to show you?

You know the Calico Hills?

- Yes. - I don't.

Beyond Dry River, there's an old mine.

It's called Paydirt.

- I know the place. - Well, I sure don't.

You better tell us more, partner.

In the mine shack...

under the... under the floor.

Coughing ain't enough. Make him talk.

He's said enough. I can lead you there.

It's up to you.

You can stay here if you like, wait till he wakes up,

ask him more, or wait till he's strong enough

to travel if he lives.

Of course, the longer you wait, the more chances you take.

They'll be sending people out to look for that stagecoach

and driver today or tomorrow.

Shouldn't be hard to find out where we camped.

All right, boys.

You, only you.

I'll take you to the money.

They can stay here with the rest till you come back.

Those are my terms.

Now, that's pretty smart of you.

Pretty good way of splitting us up.

Now you listen to my terms. Alfie comes with us and her.

Why her?

Make sure you're telling the truth.

If you're not, she gets it.

Mort, stay here.

See that our old partner doesn't go skipping off again.

What about the girl?

She'll keep you company, and that's all.

Just see you come back with my share of the money.

Have faith.

All right, that's it. You made yourself a deal.

Let's get on with it.

You two take my horse. You'll ride double.

Come on, Jenny.

Jenny!

Jenny!

Just like old times, partner.

Doing for each other again.

Nice getting together with you.

♪

Leave me alone!

Mort!

You dropped the gun belt.

Just leave us alone, and get away from here!

Shut up, girl!

Now...

one of you tell me...

where they're going.

♪

Paydirt Mine. "Keep out," huh?

Alfie, stay here with the girl.

She tries anything, put a bullet in her.

All right, Mister, let's go.

Said it was under the floorboards.

Start pulling 'em up.

Which one?

These are loose. Pull them up, and see.

Come on, faster.

Nothing there. Maybe he buried it.

- Start digging. - Well, where?

Here! Here!

♪

What's going on? Did you find it?

Not yet. Come on, dig.

Here it is.

It's stuck. I'll get it open.

Ooh, I ain't seen that in a long time.

Too long.

What if we don't go back for Mort?

- What? - What if we don't go back for Mort?

Where's the girl?

All right, up, both of you!

Leave that gun alone. Come on, move!

There it is, Jenny. Was it worth it?

I'll be taking that.

And the gun.

Thank you.

The curious man from the hotel.

Who are you? Are you Morgan?

No, ma'am. He was one of them.

I figured you for a lawman.

That's close enough. Pinkerton.

Bank hire you to get the money back?

That's right.

I've been trailing Grues ever since he got out,

figured he'd head for the money as fast as he could,

seeing as he was so sick.

Like I asked once before, who are you?

I'm a friend of the family's

on the bride's side.

Well, maybe you'll tell me more while we ride.

You taking us in?

I'm taking those two.

They both have charges against them.

Had a warrant paper on three. Had to shoot one.

My husband?

No, he was all right, last I saw of him.

The young lady, too.

I figure about now, they're...

They're both safe in Medicine Bow.

Well, Jenny, we'd better get moving.

Jeremy will be waiting, and he'll be worried.

Can you forgive me?

Sure.

Thank you.

"At sunset, he would have stopped for the day,

camping on the spot.

He looked above to estimate the ground

he could cover on the morrow."

Oh.

You're all right. You're safe.

Thank you.

They certainly do surprise a person.

How is he?

Oh, he's coming along just fine.

Did you get the money?

It went back to the bank.

I paid for that, Jenny,

with six years of my life.

I have nothing to give you now,

nothing for all you went through,

nothing for all that time.

It doesn't matter.

Nothing, Jenny.

I don't want anything.

Well, then, why?

Because I thought you wanted it.

Oh, Jenny.

We have enough...

for the rest of our lives.

You know, she would have died for that husband of hers.

Yeah.

She must love him something fierce.

I wonder...

What?

Well, I wonder if I'll ever love anybody that much.
