>> You can't eat this stuff. It's rotten.

Do you hear? Yeah, what do you think we

are, dogs? We had the same garbage

yesterday. We want to eat up, not throw

up.

ALL RIGHT. HEY. AH!

YOU LAZY SON OF A [ __ ]

You'd better rustle something fresh up.

And make it quick.

You hear? Oh!

You make one move and I'll break it, you

bastard.

DO YOU HEAR ME? AROUND HERE, I'm the

boss.

The hell with the lousy bastard. Teach

him a lesson. That's it.

I'll get busy with that food.

Okay.

You made a mistake. Now, me how to use

that pistol on him. I just might.

Listen to me. When I was fighting with

him, he tried to pull his gun. Now,

would you believe that, hm?

You keep the watch on that guy.

Don't worry, boss. I will.

I'm sure he's up to something.

And I want to know just what the hell it

is.

You just let me know when you need me,

boss.

Go give the boy some hot coffee and some

good food.

All right, boss.

Well, how do you feel, Colonel?

Terrible.

How did I get here? You had a fever.

A high one.

You know, it almost killed you.

That'd be a fine way for a Southern

Colonel to go, wouldn't it?

Mind if I have a little drink of water?

Okay.

You're going to be all right.

We ought to be at Forsythe's place this

time tomorrow, Todd. Tomorrow?

But I thought we'd be on a train at

least another 4 or 5 days. Hell, you

were unconscious for 4 and 1/2 days.

Huh, we're in Texas.

If anybody knew what we were carrying in

this wagon, our lives wouldn't be worth

a plug nickel.

That's true.

And if I don't make [snorts] it, all the

gold will become yours.

You're not that sick a man, Todd.

I must be.

Supposing I don't live through this.

I only want you to promise me to get

Forsythe's.

Swear it on my death.

All right, I do.

I know what it means to you.

My sister.

The only person in the world who meant

anything to

I'll get him.

I'll have my revenge when I own that

ranch.

They'll know I'm somebody then.

Yeah. That's right.

Especially since you made me a partner.

And my payment for saving my life, don't

forget.

How long's it been

since you were back in Texas?

A long time.

Why do you want to buy Ambler's ranch?

For what Bart Ambler did. He fooled my

sister into providing him with a power

of attorney over all our holdings.

My sister signed the document.

And then he murdered her.

It was the last days before the

Confederacy ended.

And when the South finally quit

fighting, then Bart Ambler fled.

And I was able to get all our land back.

You know the rest.

Yeah, I know. You sold everything and

moved out here to get Bart Ambler's

ranch back.

But I can't help you there.

Anyway,

it won't be too easy to take Bart

Ambler's ranch away from him, Colonel.

Why won't it be easy?

To buy the ranch.

It's owned by somebody else. Now that he

knows the railroad's going through

there, he'll be trying to get it back.

I'm going to beat him to it.

I'm going to go have a look at the men.

Over.

Watch out for Block.

>> [music]

[singing]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> This is the heaviest damn wagon I ever

drove. It's only the Colonel, me, and a

few sacks.

One of us is packing too much weight.

Arm feels kind of funny.

Slept on it.

You want to be careful. Arms break, you

know.

Colonel Todd. How are you?

I was listening when you were talking to

Block.

You think he suspects anything?

Don't worry, we'll be all right. I'll

fire him.

I'm getting impatient. That's a valuable

cargo, Mallory.

>> [music]

[music]

>> We're almost there. It's just a little

further on. The Colonel won't have any

trouble making his contract. You watch

over the cattle, Sam.

Todd and me got to talk to Carter alone.

Then wait for me up there. We'll join

you later.

Ah!

Is Colonel Todd with you? Uh no, he's in

the wagon.

Uh he'll be here in a minute.

We're looking for a man, a Mr.

Jefferson.

He in there?

Yep. And he's getting kind of impatient.

Come on in.

This ain't no bunkhouse. GET OUT OF

HERE.

GIVE ME A WHISKEY.

DID YOU BRING the money?

That's none of your business.

And why are you so interested, hm? It

ain't every day you sell a ranch like

Forsythe's.

That's Block out there.

Why is he a friend of yours?

No.

He's no friend of mine.

Last time I saw Block, he was

high-tailing out of town just as fast as

hell.

>> [music]

>> That's Jefferson.

Seems preoccupied. Wouldn't you be if

you were going to sell Forsythe's?

From what I understand, Forsythe's

doesn't belong to Ambler anymore. It

belongs to Jefferson. Yeah, but when

Ambler finds out

Are you Colonel Todd, sir?

Yes. I'm Bart Jefferson. I'm ready to

sign the deed. So am I, Mr. Jefferson.

Good. Shall we go inside then?

>> Very well.

I don't Shall we sit down?

>> Thank you.

What are you doing here, Miss Ambler?

Are you Colonel Todd?

Uh what can I do for you?

A couple of months ago, a letter arrived

at the house, Colonel. It was addressed

to my brother, but since he was away, I

took the liberty of reading it.

It said Jefferson had made a deal with

you for the purchase of Forsythe's.

So Bart Ambler has a beautiful sister, I

see. Almost too beautiful to believe, I

might add.

If you can take a little advice, don't

buy the ranch, Colonel.

Are you speaking for your brother? No,

Bart doesn't know yet. But the one thing

he wants in life is to get back to

Forsythe's.

He and I were born on that ranch. It's

where we spent our childhood. Well now,

miss, that's very sad. But I'm afraid

I've already signed all of the papers.

But he left to go raise the money, and

then before he has a chance to

Forsythe's is sold out.

Mr. Jefferson is a little bit too

impatient for his own good.

When my brother finds out, he's going to

be really angry.

Bart's not the kind of man you fool

around with. And if I were you, I

wouldn't think of buying Forsythe's.

Colonel, you listen to me.

Before he comes back, I get right out of

town. And just as far as I could go.

>> No. No.

I don't run.

I've heard about your brother, and he

doesn't scare me at all.

I've been through the war, Miss Ambler.

And I like a good fight.

Oh, miss.

Hold on. Excuse me.

Miss Ambler, isn't it?

You don't think there'll be any trouble

over the sale of the ranch, do you?

Wait, and you'll find out when my

brother comes back.

Now you tell your brother to think twice

about taking any action.

If he's prepared to hold on to his

ranch, then he's got to be prepared to

lose it.

Hey, mister. Take your hands off the

lady, and from now on, you better keep

them off.

There's nothing prettier than an angry

woman. Especially if she's kind of

pretty when she's calm.

Hey, Block. What are you doing here?

What do you mean?

I thought I told you

to stay at the wagon. I know, I know.

I'm getting it repaired.

Okay, but I don't want your services

anymore. Go see David and get your pay.

And it suits me if I never see you

again. You hear, Block?

You really have to leave right away, I

suppose.

>> Yes, I'm in a big hurry. Goodbye now,

Colonel Todd.

Well, you have a good trip back then.

Did you get rid of Block?

Yep.

And I got the idea Ambler knows him.

>> You're absolutely right, mister. In

fact, it was Bart Ambler who ran him out

of town for making a pass at Cora.

Well then, I figure he's the one who

sent the letter to Ambler about me. He

must be the one. Exactly.

Well, I'm going to get a little bit of

sleep now.

And uh

watch Block.

Bart Ambler is the only man I know who's

still alive after fighting that big

galoot.

Hm.

>> [clears throat]

>> Big or small, we're all the same. Alive

or dead.

Say, it's strange, you know.

What?

Well, they both signed contracts, but no

money changed hands.

So what?

Well, it seems kind of funny to me to

carry all that money around in a wagon.

The Colonel wanted it that way, and if I

were you, I'd keep this to myself.

Understand? Seems pretty clear. Mr., I

didn't get to be a healthy 50 years of

age by shooting my mouth off. You keep

on like that, and you'll live to be 100.

Give me another drink.

Tell me.

What kind of a man is this

Bart Ambler?

He's all right. He's powerless, too.

The only person Ambler respects is his

sister, Cora.

She's pretty nice, I guess. So was his

brother, Jim.

Is he dead? Uh-huh.

The good die young, Mallory. It's always

like that.

He

>> [music]

>> I'm looking for Jack and the other two.

Have you seen them? No. Try over at

Carter's.

Give me a whiskey.

And a deck of cards.

>> [clears throat]

>> What's the matter, Colonel? You look

tired.

It's not any problem for me.

Sleep now.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Carter?

We're trying to find that bastard

[music] who put his hands on Miss Cora.

He left.

And who's that?

That's the man who just bought 4 Sons.

>> Ah.

I play little cards myself.

Hey, Carter, get us some glasses.

That way the Colonel here can offer to

buy us a couple of drinks.

Sure, might be nice to play some poker.

>> [snorts]

>> You rotten bastard.

You were trying to cheat.

Nobody cheats me, Colonel.

Draw, man.

But I don't have a weapon.

You ain't going to shoot him, Jack, are

you? That's murder. Nah, not if no one

sees him murdered.

But you wouldn't want to kill me. That'd

be crazy.

>> Sure.

>> [laughter]

>> How long has it been since you swept up

this place?

This morning, Jack. All right, Colonel,

you're going to sweep up right now with

your tongue.

Stop it.

I gave you orders to stay out of this

place. Well, I figured Carter'd be happy

to find

>> but a beast. That's all you are. Well,

ma'am, if you like, I'll take you home.

>> I'll take care of myself. Now, get out

of here.

>> Come on.

Well, Miss Ambler, did I do a good job

for you?

I never told them to do this.

The next time you want work like that

done, you send your trained dogs to look

for me, do you hear?

You should thank God Colonel Todd hasn't

been killed. If he'd been carrying a

weapon, he'd be dead right now.

And you better thank God

he isn't dead.

Cuz I promise you,

I'd see every one of you Amblers hang,

even if I have to do it myself.

We got visitors. I don't think they're

here to see me. You want some advice?

I'm listening. Avoid it.

It's three to one and I won't be able to

help. So, if you want to fight him,

you're on your own.

I'm used to that. Jack's the one you're

going to have to look out for. The one

in the middle. The other two are just

hired hands. He's about as fast [music]

as they come, I'd say.

I'll remember that.

No.

Don't fight. Do me a favor, don't fight.

So, you're Jack, huh?

Well, well, good old Jack.

Now, let's see what kind of a man you

really are.

Take off your gun and tell your men to

do the same.

We'll settle this business right now.

You talk big, mister.

The same way you did with the Colonel.

I don't fight with my fists. Well, you

fought my friend, didn't you?

You're going to fight me now the same

way.

He wasn't wearing a gun. That's why he's

still alive.

You ain't going to be that lucky,

Mallory.

Jack! I gave you an order. Now, you get

out of here. I don't reckon I work for

you. I'm working FOR YOUR BROTHER.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT THEM ON THE GROUND.

NOW.

NOW, get the hell out of here and take

him with you.

You see that?

He was probably the quickest gun in the

whole state.

And Mallory dropped him like a sack of

potatoes.

Hard to believe, ain't it?

If you'd advised your friend the Colonel

not to buy the ranch, all this killing

could have been avoided.

I think a man should buy or sell what he

likes.

You know, our family was really attached

to that ranch.

Don't be angry with Cora.

She's an Ambler. Yeah, but she hates

bloodshed.

I reckon she's seen too much of it. She

saw some today, Carter, didn't she?

She didn't care for Jack.

All for the best, then.

The Colonel's too far gone to stay here.

I want you to take him to the small

ranch because that way I can visit him

more often. And I want you to do it

right away. You hear that, Mallory?

Doc, I hope you can come back. You know,

it's going to be awful hard to get him

off of this ranch. It's his house.

>> Yes, uh oh, but it's your house as well.

You know, 4 Sons a very big spread and

you don't have enough hired hands and

you've got too many enemies. Yeah.

Goodbye now, son.

Right. Goodbye, Doc.

>> [music]

>> Mallory.

Turn around.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Well, that's another horse you've

ruined, but you don't give a damn, now,

do you? I just think you might be a

little bit cracked. I'll get plenty of

horses before I get through round here.

You know I got a hold of the money for 4

Sons.

You're a bit late. Jefferson's already

sold the deed to 4 Sons while you were

out of town. Jefferson.

You sure about that? Why, sure I'm sure.

>> [laughter]

>> You must be new around here. Nobody ever

gets in the way of Bart Hamblin.

Sure, honey.

Who do you think you are, Bart Hamblin?

Wait a minute.

Cowboy,

I could kill you easy, but I won't.

You want to know why?

Bullets cost too much.

Times are changing, Bart. I'm telling

you. You're going to have to stop

pushing people about. Just give me a

whiskey.

Where's Jefferson?

Some other town. He left town when he

sold the ranch. He must have forgot that

I promised to kill him if he ever sold

horses.

Now listen, Bart. You ought to be a

little more careful about what you say

around here. You're not allowed to shoot

people in this town, and you know that.

>> He's right, Bart.

My pa got you elected sheriff.

Remember, if it wasn't for him, you

wouldn't be nothing but a busted-ass

cowpoke. You know that. And I'd keep

that in my thick head before I start

throwing my weight around. I hope your

stomach's in real good shape, sheriff,

huh? Because one of these days you just

might have to eat that badge.

Yeah, and then I might not.

I hear tell Block is back in town.

Uh well, I suppose I should go over and

say hello to him. I never seen a man

beat up so bad.

He had it coming to him. Only you can

behave in such a brutal manner as that.

I didn't want to wind up like the other

three guys who tangled with him. One of

them's dead, and the other two are

permanently injured. Yes, but you forgot

to mention that he was tied and bound.

And everyone knows about that other

thing when you hang a man for no reason

whatsoever.

He made advances to my sister, Cora. But

he was drunk, and he didn't know what he

was doing.

Maybe he should have stayed out of the

saloon.

If he did, he'd still be alive.

>> [laughter]

>> When I become boss around here again,

>> [music]

>> I won't forget any of you.

Yeah, don't you worry.

I won't forget.

Hey, Doc.

Tell me, just what the hell is it you

got against me now?

There's going to be a lot of bloodshed

around this here town, Bart, and you'll

be responsible for it.

>> I don't like it. That's all.

You know, you're going to stretch your

luck a little bit too far one of these

days.

You don't frighten an old man who'd be

better off dead anyway. But let me tell

you one thing, Bart. You've been

responsible for a lot of deaths in your

day, but you don't have the makings in

you to kill me.

Why not?

Because too many towns people respect

me, and if you murder me, you'd hang.

And I'd be happy if you were hung.

Bart.

Bart.

Bart.

Cora.

How are you?

The Forson ranch, somebody's bought it.

Yeah, I know.

And Jack, did you know he was killed?

Who was it? A friend of that Colonel

Todd who bought the ranch. Uh

so, he has enough courage to shoot a man

in the back.

>> No, you're wrong. He outdrew him.

No, that's impossible. Jack, no one was

a faster gunman than Jack. Well, he was.

Listen to me, Bart. Please, let's not

have any more killing.

Cora, I've been away a long time, and I

really missed you.

I've missed you, too, Bart. But please,

forget about the ranch.

Listen to me just this once. Please,

listen.

Why don't you go now? We'll talk later.

Go on.

>> place.

Now look, Block.

I sent you packing once. Do I have to do

it a second time? I wasn't packing.

I heard someone was going to come up

here and buy the ranch. So, I wrote you

a letter about it.

That's the whole truth, Bart.

You don't believe me, you can go ahead

and ask Cora.

I know you came back to see Cora.

I know where Jefferson is.

He's in Mexico. No.

Not Mexico.

I know where you can find him, Bart.

That's if you're interested.

That's good whiskey there, friends.

It's been a real honor to come. Though

if all my patients were this hospital

business, you I wouldn't get very much

work done, now would I, Colonel?

I hope you came as a friend as well as a

doctor.

Yes, I'm on my way to see a woman who's

expecting a baby, and those little tykes

don't wait, you know.

Well, I really must be on my way.

I'll come back and see you later,

Colonel.

As I said, the baby won't wait.

I'll be seeing you.

Goodbye, now.

So long.

Huh.

Huh.

Well,

we've been here only a few days, and

we've done all you wanted to.

No, not all.

What else were you planning on doing?

I have to get some rest.

My chest is hurting me.

I still feel a little bit weak.

Okay.

What is it?

Nothing for now.

But I have to keep looking over my

shoulder.

Ain't going to find it easy here.

Hey, take it easy on that water. It's

going to have to last us for a while.

We ought to catch sight of him right

soon now.

If you were telling me the truth.

Take it easy, Bart.

And stop riding me.

Don't forget it, Block. I could outdraw

you left-handed.

So, you just remember who the boss is

around here, and you'll stay healthy.

Now, look who's here.

Ain't it strange now who you meet around

these here parts?

What What do you want?

Get him down, Block.

Jefferson, I want what was mine.

I warned you not to sell.

NO. NO. BART, NO. PLEASE.

SEARCH THE WAGON.

NEVER MIND THAT. You won't find it

there.

>> Gold.

It's ours.

Get up then, Sachs block.

Quick.

Let's go.

Everything's fine, boss. Okay.

Sam, we got to wait a little while now

to get a better price for the cattle.

Suits me. They're in good pasture now,

with good men looking after them. You

can be sure, boss.

In the meantime, we'll take care of that

other unfinished business.

The Amblers?

Yeah, and I don't think it'll run as

smooth as Todd thinks it will. Well, you

know, the Colonel can always ask the

Sheriff.

The Sheriff? You really think that Bart

Ambler's the kind of man to worry about

the Sheriff? Yep.

>> [music]

>> I seen the way you've been making eyes

at Cora.

You better forget her.

Cuz if you don't, I'm warning you. No,

Bart.

I'm warning you.

I ain't taking no more off you.

From now on, we're partners.

We're in it up to our necks, and don't

you forget it.

Listen to what I say.

Nobody talks to me like that. I'll break

you in half, you hear? You better start

thinking about it real hard. Cuz if you

don't, you're going to be dead in hell.

As far as me and Cora is concerned, keep

your nose out. You'll be safe here. You

better be careful, though.

Keep well hidden.

I'll take the gold.

Come on, let's move.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Bart, we have some visitors.

And I think this is the right time for

you to patch it up.

But who?

Mallory, who else? The friend of the

Colonel's.

The one who killed Jack.

Yes, but he owns 50% of the ranch. I

don't want to see him.

First he kills one of my best guns, then

he moseys over for a nice friendly talk.

It's not all that friendly. Somebody

took a shot at the guy just the other

day.

Uh, what do I care?

And what makes you think it's true,

anyway? Bart,

where were you the last 2 days?

Oh, I've been around.

At least you should be willing to shake

hands with Mallory.

Haven't we got enough trouble already?

All right, I'll do it.

But I'm only doing it for you.

Thanks.

>> [music]

>> May I introduce

my brother, Bart.

How are you?

I want to buy back Four Aces.

How?

Paying for it.

With what?

With money.

Strange place, Texas.

Just what does that mean?

[clears throat]

Oh,

some people can get rich

overnight.

You want to get rid of it?

I'm willing to give you what you paid

for it.

No, I don't think the Colonel would

approve that.

And as for me, I'll be damned if I'll

sell you my half.

Say now,

how did you ever come up with enough

cash to buy Four Aces?

Using that pistol of yours?

Forget it.

There's no need to be angry. I want Four

Aces, and I'm going to get it.

>> [clears throat]

>> I'll have it, Mallory. I'm sure you know

the way your luck can change.

And if you are ever out of work, all you

have to do is come and ask. I'm sure I

can find you something big, small,

something nice and dirty, like you have,

Bart.

You got a big mouth. You open it once

more, and I'll close it for good.

Listen, Cora, you better tell your

brother to behave himself, or one of

these days you're going to be finding

him lying face down in the dirt.

>> [music]

>> Howdy. Hi Sam. What happened? Been kind

of quiet here.

What do we do now?

I guess I better get into town and do

some shopping, but the whole shebang's

in my hands until the Colonel recovers.

He's still sick, huh?

Mhm. And I can't leave him alone too

long.

You go on. I'll look after the ranch. I

mean, a friend's a friend, right

Malorie? Mhm. What about the cattle?

We should be rid of them in a few days.

I found a buyer, but you'll have to come

along.

All right.

I got to go now. I'll be back soon.

>> [music]

>> Well,

doing some shopping.

They tell me Jack drew first.

Hard to believe anyone's that fast.

Well, I tell you one thing, as far as

I'm concerned, I'd rather be his friend.

I'll have it all ready for you this

afternoon.

You can pick it up anytime you want to,

Mr. Malorie.

Tomorrow, my friend Sam Bonner will come

and fetch it.

>> As you wish. Pleasure to do business

with you.

So long.

Whiskey.

I heard Broad Ambler just made a lot of

money in the herd.

That's his business.

Tell me, Malorie, when Colonel Todd

bought the ranch, how did he pay

Jefferson? Gold.

Jefferson always said he didn't like

banks. He kept his money with him. They

tell me he's gone to Mexico, but he must

have taken one hell of a long way.

Why?

He ain't been seen in any of the towns

along the way, I'll tell you.

Nobody's seen him.

Probably changed his mind.

Went someplace else. Yeah, yeah, he

could have done that, I suppose he could

have.

One more question now.

What kind of gold did he get? Do you

know?

Mostly minute gold coin.

Ah, that's it.

Hey, you went to school.

You want to tell me what a half-breed

is? Well,

cross between a bastard [music] and a

big jackass. Ask him, he knows.

Take it easy, amigo. He's unarmed.

You asked for it.

>> [snorts]

>> No, please.

I'LL HURT YOU.

THANKS, AMIGOS.

MORNING, MISS CORA. HELLO THERE. Mind if

I come along with you? I don't think you

should.

Why not? No particular reason. I'm

sorry. I'd rather you didn't.

See you. Bye.

You want to see me?

Yeah. [sighs]

Yeah, I'm a little bit worried.

You know,

my sister What happened to

[clears throat] her?

Any other time I'd know what to do.

But this time

This one guy got fresh with her. Who was

it? The guy you used to work for.

Colonel Todd?

Nah, not him.

It's Malorie.

That's it. Who told you that?

Cora. I passed by her room the other

night and I heard some noise.

She was crying.

What about? Ah, you know women are like.

At first she wouldn't tell me.

But she finally said it.

That

Malorie was disrespectful.

Why, the bastard. He's going to pay for

that. He sure is. I'll see to that.

No.

No. What do you mean no? She's my

sister.

Yeah.

But I'm going to take care of him.

Malorie's mine.

What's Block doing out front?

I don't know.

You're not fixing to shoot it out with

him.

That depends on him.

That depends on him now, [music] Barney.

Block Stone, I don't know what you're

after,

but remember this, you had a chance to

kill me once, but that was the first and

last time.

If Ambler sent you, you just better go

back and tell him that he's wasting his

time. That's what you think.

I don't want to fight you.

But if you make one little move, I'll

blow your legs out from under you.

Have you ever seen an invalid Block?

Take a step and you'll be one for the

rest of your life.

You made her cry, you dirty bastard.

You rotten bastard.

Who did I make cry?

Yeah, I changed my mind.

I've changed my mind.

A bastard like you would be dangerous

even if he can't walk.

So I won't [ __ ] you.

I'll just blow your head clean off.

>> Mallory.

Howdy.

Be very careful when you see that Block

Stone. He believes that you made

advances to me and I'm afraid I saw that

a while ago. He wanted to fight with me.

And then after that?

Nothing.

I just told him I didn't intend to be

flattened by him. That's all.

Then what people say about you is true.

You're nothing but a hardened gunfighter

who figures he can just do Ma'am.

There's one way to handle a big man like

Block.

All I want to do is live in peace,

Mallory. And why shouldn't you? Believe

me, nothing happened.

Thank you for that.

Miss Ambler?

Please call me Cora.

All right, Cora then.

You know, for years I've stayed

I've stayed out of Texas.

But I'm glad I'm back.

Why? Because

because

because I met you.

Please do me a favor.

Don't kill my brother.

Why you? Did he ask you to do this?

>> No, he You know he asked you to do this.

Now tell me the truth. No.

Okay.

>> [music]

>> No.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

Your brother's orders. We're taking you

home. No.

Mallory.

Come.

>> [music]

[music]

[screaming]

[snorts]

[snorts]

[music]

[sighs]

>> How do you feel now, son?

Am I in one piece? Just barely.

You're in my house and you've been

asleep now for 2 days and nights.

No, no, no. You've been dead. Ah. Rest

now.

For how long?

About 4 or 5 days. Then I'm not sure

then you'll be all right.

And I'm not able to operate on your

brain to keep you out of trouble with

Block Stone. And what's more, I'm

telling you you're very fortunate to be

here.

From now on I use my gun. I'm fed up

with getting me all busted to pieces.

I've been a doctor for 30 years and I'm

getting tired of all this gunfighting

and killing.

Ah. Come in, Sheriff.

Well, he's awake, huh?

You all right?

All broken up.

Imagine you're pretty sore. But old

Block is in just about the same

condition. Doesn't cheer me up a bit.

Yeah, sure, sure. Anyway, I told Bart

Ambler I didn't want to see Block's face

around here. And I made it quite clear

if I do, I'll shoot him on sight.

Ah.

Well, excuse me, Doc, but a lot of the

town folks would like to know how he is.

So they asked me to ask you.

Much better now. Well, that's good news.

We were getting a little worried. In a

few days you'll feel all right.

>> Thank you for asking.

And

I almost forgot to tell you there's a

lot of people want me to wish you luck

and hope you get better.

And so do I.

Be seeing you.

There's many people anxious

anxious to see the half-breed get well.

But not the one I'm interested in.

Boss, he's coming.

I know. You go on up.

Come on in.

Bart Ambler.

You visit us so infrequently I figure

there must be some reason.

Is that right?

It has to do with Mallory.

The half-breed that wears his hair in a

pigtail?

Bart.

You haven't turned into a racist or

something.

His race has nothing to do with it.

I hate the bastard cuz he took away the

ranch.

I know, I know. It's very dear to you

because you were born there and also

because in a few years it'll be worth a

fortune.

That's touching, Bart.

You know

I was hoping, Nero

that when I returned

I might be getting some news about

Mallory's death.

You were, huh?

Doesn't look very dead, does he?

But I hear he's well now. And he's

getting out of the docks tomorrow.

Alone.

And he's going to the ranch. Alone.

Bart, you don't have to paint a picture.

We've been friends quite a while.

So I'll come right to the point. It

wouldn't be the first time I helped out.

And I have other reasons because Block

is one of my best men. But there's one

small thing you're not telling me.

I know, Nero, that I was the one who

talked the guy into it. Just come to the

point, will you?

I don't want Mallory to reach that ranch

at all.

Well, listen. Getting Mallory is not

going to be too damn easy. I know.

Why don't you do it yourself if you're

so anxious for it?

Because I told my sister Clara that I

wouldn't kill him, that's why.

So?

You know, when a man buys a horse, it

takes money.

So what?

Well, it's the same thing here, you

know.

Just takes more. What do you want?

You pay a thousand a piece for my two

guns.

And the same for me.

I'll pay it, but get it done. The money?

As soon as you bring them in.

You must know what a fast draw is. From

the back, you're faster.

I might be, but Block thought so, too.

Till Mallory showed him how.

I'll pay you now.

But you're asking a lot of money.

Well, that's the way we operate here.

Morning, Colonel.

Looks like the good news about Mallory

has done wonders for you.

It wouldn't be right to throw this

rancher's responsibilities on just one

man's shoulders. Yeah, and he's also got

those hyenas of Ambler's to deal with.

How things been, Sam?

I mean, as far as the herd's concerned.

Fine. They're all sold and the money's

in the bank in San Francisco.

Sam, you know, this morning

when Mallory gets back

he's going to find me a brand new man.

I feel a lot better, let me tell you.

If I'm lucky, I'll outlive one Ambler,

that bastard Bart.

He's not worth thinking about.

He's too much of a rat.

I'm going to watch Bart Ambler fall.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Lot of ambushes at field cross the horse

need.

Best to hear downwind.

Don't take any chances now.

Waitley's about 20 yards away. I'd sure

like him to know we're doing this for

Block. We are doing it for him, ain't

we? Yeah, and the thousand dollars.

[music]

We'll bury him there.

It's impossible for us to miss. Yeah.

Here he comes.

Get your head down.

YOU WAITING FOR ME?

>> [music]

>> WHAT DO YOU WANT?

COLONEL, WE BROUGHT YOU AN IMPORTANT

MESSAGE.

COLONEL!

HOLD IT, YOU. WHAT DO WE DO WITH HIM?

We ain't going to kill him. That way he

can tell everybody what he saw here.

>> [laughter]

>> Come on.

>> [music]

[snorts]

>> Don't worry about it, Block. You'll be

all right.

I know this ain't the best hideout in

the world, but I brought you some fine

food and whiskey

and two blankets. So, you see, you'll be

all right.

Can't make it out.

Can't make it out.

All right, Block, but I'm telling you

just this once, you'll have to stay

careful nobody finds you.

Cuz the sheriff told me he didn't want

to see you ever again.

And if he does, you're a dead man.

So, you stay here a few days.

Soon as Mallory's taken care of, you can

come back.

And

I'll have the ranch by then.

Bart, I guess you're satisfied now. What

about?

I know you sicked Block onto Mallory.

That wasn't my fault. When they fought,

I wasn't even in town.

Yes, I know.

You always know the right time to leave,

don't you now? And it was a coincidence

the sheriff knew right where to find

Block and Mallory.

Clara,

are you really interested in this guy?

Listen to me, Bart. The only thing that

interests me is how terrible you've

become since Paul died.

Terrible, huh?

Maybe, but in those days we were the

bosses of Carson.

And you just can't forget that bit,

can't you?

It's a question of prestige and honor.

But Bart, you know Carson was sold to

Jefferson, and after that Jefferson sold

the ranch to Colonel Todd. Jefferson

should never have done that. He waited

till I was out of town, then sold the

ranch right out from under us.

I want to own

Falson.

And I will. Then I'm sorry, but I can't

stay. Can't stay?

Where will you go? I don't know, but I

can't remain here. Cora, I forbid it.

Oh, really?

I won't be pushed around by you that

way. Do you know what a brother is?

I don't think so, Bart, or you wouldn't

act the way you do.

I'll go where I want to.

And I'll only come back here when you've

changed into a human being.

Doctor, how's Mallory? Don't worry about

Mallory. He's made of iron, believe me.

Just a flesh wound, nothing to really

worry about. May I visit? Not now, Cora.

He needs some rest now. Oh.

Huh.

There's Sam, Mallory's best friend.

The one who was there when those two

killers

got Colonel Todd.

What does that mean, doctor? You don't

think my brother would sink that low, do

you?

Whoever did it was a beast, that's

certain. The colonel was a very sick man

and wouldn't have lived long anyway.

Doctor, I want to go in now. You do love

him, don't you? Yes, I do.

And does your brother know about it?

>> It's not important to me what he thinks.

Well, I hope things turn out for the

best. Oh, I'm sure they will. You might

as well go see him. He's upstairs, Cora.

>> Thanks.

>> [music]

>> Cora.

Is anything wrong?

Well, I decided

to come here and live with me.

As soon as I can.

This was your ranch.

Can be yours again.

Only

depends on you.

>> [music]

>> Accident.

You want to be a boy for what?

TO FOLLOW HER DYING MOTHER, HUH?

I'LL GET YOU, BART.

I'LL GET YOU.

I'LL GET YOU.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> What happened to you, Jimmy? It was

Bart.

The bastard ambushed me. Shot you in the

back?

Yeah, in the back. Why?

Cuz I know too much and you better watch

him, too.

Beast and I'm just bad.

Just bad.

I'm shot.

Jimmy.

Jimmy.

Bastard.

Mallory.

Mallory. Cora.

I was just leaving. What's the matter?

>> [music]

[music]

>> Life with my brother is unbearable and

the sheriff has discovered everything.

I'm sorry about that, Cora. This is the

end.

Bart's more obstinate than ever.

I know.

Cora,

I'm going back

to the small ranch, all right?

I'll join you.

You sure, you saw her? With these two

eyes, she went to the Folsom ranch.

You sure of that? Wouldn't be here if it

wasn't.

Even my sister's against me now.

>> [snorts]

>> I'll finish this once and for all.

Bart Ambler.

>> [music]

>> What are you doing here?

I told you not to come back.

Do I have to kick you out a second time?

I came here to kill you, Ambler.

And by God,

I'm going to do it.

You double-crosser.

Hold it. Stay right there. Another step

and you're dead, Block.

Bastard.

I'm going TO KILL YOU.

YOU USED ME, BART.

I I'M GOING TO

BART, I killed Theo and you never kept

your word.

>> [music]

>> Sam.

How are you, amigo?

I sure hope you're not going to be

sorry. No, I won't.

Well, come on in then. It was your

ranch.

It still is if you want it.

I hope you forget.

Well, I got patients that need looking

after. Better be on the way. Do you mind

if I ride along with you, doc? All

right. All right.

Let's go.
