Let's go.

I have never.

Quiet room available, D.

Here you are, Mr.

Richter.

Thank you.

Don't you worry, none. This money's for a good cause.

Yeah.

Us.

Come on, let's go! Now move it!

Thank you.

being stampeded by buffalo the men die young the women die lonely it's one of

the roughest towns in the west mister you're in nebraska territory now are you

sure you're not thinking about some different rock creek of course well

buffalo ain't exactly been a problem around here lately boy you see before

you three of the most successful businessmen in new york city new york

city yes on the surface these three appear to have little in common but they

share a dream.

All their lives, they wanted to see the wide-open spaces of the West, and now,

thanks to their hard work and yours truly, they can.

Benjamin Marsh, at your service.

William F. Cody.

Ah, charm.

Tell me, Mr. Cody, what do you do for a living?

I ride for the Pony Express.

Really?

What do you say you and I have a little chat?

Sure.

Get out of here, huh?

Better off alone with the kind of company this place has to offer.

All right, who's over there?

Company. Put it down.

Boy, for company, you sure don't talk much.

Maybe that ghost town spooked you too, huh?

Well, if you didn't like it so much, what the hell were you doing there?

Hey.

What? I'm hungry.

I don't see any reason for a condemned man to eat, do you?

Condemned? What are you talking about?

In case you forgot, you killed a man back there in Fairfield. No, you killed

a boy back there in Fairfield.

No, I ain't the one who killed him.

Well, he's dead.

And I don't see me and Robin Banks as being much better.

Yeah, well, I had my reasons for that.

Yeah, I'll bet.

I did. Good ones, too.

But not good enough for that deputy, and definitely not good enough for me.

So you're taking me back to Fairfield?

No, I'm taking you to Rock Creek.

Rock Creek?

And here I thought I'd run into a string of bad luck.

Hey, what'd you boys think of that?

Perhaps we could take a ride.

Sure, sure. No, no, no, no. I don't think that would be a very good idea.

Really, Mr. Marsh, it could be quite enjoyable.

No, no, these pony express horses are high-strung animals requiring a

professional hand.

Isn't there anything you could show them that would be a little less hazardous?

That's four for four.

Very impressive, Mr. Cody.

Maybe we could take a few shots. I used to be fairly handy with a squirrel gun.

Mr. Quimby, we've had this conversation about guns before.

What can we see that's less dangerous?

How do you spell saddle?

S-A-D-E-L.

You know, yesterday when you talked about writing up letters and all...

Said something that wasn't quite the truth.

What's that?

Uh, well, I said I didn't have no family, and I don't. But the fact is,

I... I think of Rachel and Lou and the boys as family, and

who knows, as time goes by, you might start feeling the same way.

It ain't the same thing.

Well done, Mr. Cody.

He sure fun to watch.

That looks like fun.

Could I give it a try?

No, no, no. Absolutely not.

Let me guess.

Less strenuous.

Look, I don't understand what's so harmful about letting these gentlemen

enjoy themselves.

Enjoy themselves?

Since this trip began, these men have met Indians, shot buffalo, roped steer

while they're having the time of their lives.

Then how come they never smile?

These men have paid me a sizable sum to show them the West.

Half up front and half when I get back to New York.

So? So I need the money.

And I'm not going to lessen my chances of getting it by letting them do

something foolish like shooting guns.

I don't think I understand.

Look, I just want to keep these men safe and let them think they're enjoying

themselves.

That just doesn't seem right.

Let's go.

The Indians wore suits.

The steer had udders.

And the buffalo was stuffed.

If anyone deserves to be stuffed, it's our Mr. Marsh.

This one Jimmy just wrote up. He's got a prisoner with him. A prisoner?

Who you got there, Jimmy?

Frank! Jesse!

It's my brother.

I didn't know where to send word.

It's good to see you, Jesse.

That's how you treat all visiting family members around here?

Hickok told me what you done, son.

If I was you, I'd make myself comfortable.

You're gonna be here for a while.

What are they talking about, Frank?

What'd you do?

Got a little scrape, is all.

Jesse, don't listen to him.

You know me, little brother. Just doing what I had to do.

Jesse?

Brother's gonna be with us for a couple of days till Norton get word to

Fairfield and they send someone back to pick him up.

Now, I'm not saying don't talk to him.

Just don't do anything you're gonna regret.

I want... Marshall, I just want to tell you I appreciate you taking care of

Jesse, giving him a place to stay and all.

Well, he kind of growed on us.

It's a pleasure taking care of him.

Well, you won't have to worry about that no more.

Now that his family's here.

I'll be back shortly.

Let's go, Jimmy.

What are you doing in Fairfield?

What do you think?

It's working for the cause, the South, Jesse.

And somebody got hurt?

Somebody always gets hurt.

You can't let that stop you from doing what you gotta do.

Damn.

You haven't even asked me about Ma yet.

She's all right, ain't she?

Last time I saw her.

Things ain't settling down at home, though.

She's still trying to find a place where we'd be safe.

Meanwhile, I thought you'd come along with me.

Really? You mean it? Sure.

I was planning on coming as soon as I could.

War's coming, Jesse.

We gotta stand with our people.

I want you to ride with me.

But now?

How?

Jesse, it's just time for you to do what you gotta do.

Here it comes, boys.

Found him.

Boy was always talking about Rock Creek. And I'll be damned if that wasn't where

he was.

Do you have her money?

Doesn't look like it.

But I reckon we can make him tell us where it is.

Frank pretty much ducked out when the shooting began.

I think we're pretty much looking out for himself.

Jimmy, how's Jesse taking seeing his brother in jail?

He's taking it a lot better than he will when he sees him at the end of a rope.

I'm sorry, Jesse.

No, you ain't.

You don't care about my brother.

No, that's not true. You don't know a thing about my brother. I know what I

saw in Fairfield.

My brother believes in things. He fights for what he thinks is right. Your

brother robs banks.

Take that back!

Don't you talk about my brother! Hold on!

Get off!

Jesse! Somebody get him off me!

Jesse! Get up! Come on!

That is enough!

I don't allow fighting around here, and I'm not about to start now. Do you

understand? I understand. I should be with my family.

Jesse, hold up.

Do you think there's any truth to what Jesse said about Frank believing in

things? No, it makes no difference to me.

Well, it does to Jesse.

Seems like sometimes you gotta accept the bad in order to hold on to the good.

I know how you feel.

No, you don't. Yes, I do. I had a brother who claimed he was helping the

South, too, but he was breaking the law.

Did you ever think that maybe he knew better than you?

That he was right and you should have helped him no matter what?

I wish I could have helped him.

He's wrong.

Well, he probably thought the same about you.

All right, safety.

Don't let Jesse get himself into too much trouble, okay?

How's that feel? You comfortable?

Oh, this is wonderful.

I feel like I'm really out wet.

This is very nice.

Here, kid.

Just hold on tight and give him a little kick.

I still say that this is a bad idea.

Relax, Mr. Marsh. Nothing's going to happen.

Now, don't forget your hats. Like this.

No.

Hold on with both hands.

I said both hands. Don't do that, Mr. Marsh. You're going to spook the horses.

All right, that's enough.

That's enough.

You all right?

You get away from him.

Come on, Mr. Quimby.

Let's get you back to the coach.

Really, I'm all right.

It's not you I'm concerned about, Mr. Quimby. Just think how devastated your

wife and children would be if anything should happen to you. I don't have a

wife and children.

I do.

Everyone back in the coach. Come on. Everybody.

Come on, let's go. Off your horses.

Let's go. Move, move, move.

Let's go.

Take it right to the west, gentlemen.

Your trip just officially ended.

Let's go. Come on.

I'm sorry about that. I was just trying to help.

Well, stop trying.

Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Cody.

Thank you, Mr. Cody. Bye.

You best go get something to eat.

About time.

Be right back.

Here to help me out, aren't you, little brother?

I ain't quite sure.

Yeah, you are. I can see it in your eyes.

Well, then maybe you better take another look.

Because that's what I'm doing with you.

What are you talking about?

Why'd you rob that bank?

I told you before, it's for the cause.

How do you figure?

There's people, and they train and organize men like me. We fight where we

can, keep the South strong.

I took the money for them.

And the gang?

We were all working together until I found out inside the bank that they was

gonna keep the money instead of giving it to us.

So I had to take it from them.

That's why we gotta take it back home.

I ain't quite sure, Frank.

You've changed.

I ain't the one who's changed. Yeah, you are. You've been here so long making

friends, you forgot where you come from.

Maybe I made a mistake coming here.

You know that ain't so, Frank.

Then get me out of here.

Letters. Hurry up.

None of them work.

You looking for these?

Son, I thought you and me had an agreement.

Stand easy, Markle.

It ain't you I'm interested in.

I'm watching JB.

I'll take those.

I want you.

And the money you stole from me.

You lied to me. That money is for people a lot more deserving than you. Shut up.

I ain't got time for your speeches. Open up that door, boy.

If I open it, they'll kill you, Frank.

If you don't, they'll kill us all.

Jesse! Jesse!

Come on, let's go!

We done good.

No sign of the gang.

Doesn't look like the type to quit.

Well, they're after us all right, but they won't be riding as fast, seeing as

we got two of their horses.

Don't worry, little brother. You ain't never gonna have to see their faces

again. We heading back home now?

Directly.

Right after we get the money.

Well, they might catch us.

Jesse, I risked my life to get that money because the South needs it. Our

people in Missouri need it.

I ain't gonna forget about it just because we got a couple turncoats on our

tail.

Besides, running from them's what makes it fun.

You're the one who's changed, Frank.

Yeah, well, I guess I have at that.

You'll change, too.

I don't know if I want to.

It's no turning back, Jesse. You passed a test today.

Ma's gonna be real proud of you.

Can't stop worrying about Teaspoon.

Yeah, well, you might as well.

Because he's somebody else you ain't never gonna see again.

Let's get out of here.

Fellow was just a farmer.

Probably wasn't even armed.

Gang killed him for his horse.

They're all riding single now.

Gonna be moving faster.

How many of them are there?

Seven.

It's a lot of trouble.

You got any idea where they're headed?

Frank and Jesse are doubling back, trying to lose the others.

It's not working.

Say they got an hour's lead.

What about us?

Well, with having to wait for daylight in Rock Creek, I'd say we're half a day

behind.

I don't know where Jesse and Frank are going, but the gang's going to meet them

there a whole lot sooner.

I thought you and I had an agreement.

You're going to do what the doctor said.

Well, it shouldn't surprise you. Nobody seems to be living up to their work

around here lately.

Think how confused Jesse was, teaspoon.

An older brother can be mighty persuasive, and one like Frank... Sound

like you're taking his side.

No, I'm not defending him.

But I can feel for him, and so should you.

Why?

Because you care for him.

Because he's a 14-year-old boy a long way from home who was missing his family

before his brother showed up. And now...

Now he may not even be sure who his family really is.

Rachel, how'd you come to get so smart?

East Blue and I heard about what happened.

Who done it to you? One of Frank's friends.

They ain't too happy with him, neither.

Why not?

Well, it seems Frank stole the money. They want it back.

Can you ride?

No.

Don't need to.

I already got Buck Lou and the kid out tracking them. There's no reason to

track them because I know where Frank and Jesse are going.

You do.

Teaspoon, you can't.

I've got to.

You're the one that convinced me.

You've got to stop them. Who?

They attacked me.

They stole my coach.

Who? They'll kill themselves.

Who are you talking about?

Just go find them.

with you fellas what are you crazy you could have got yourselves killed that's

just the point what you don't want to live we do want to live this is living

coming out to the west has been a dream of ours for years and years each of us

spent a sizable portion of our savings just to come here too and we felt it's

worth it after all when you you've spent your whole life looking at pictures the

real thing is worth almost

Well, it seems to me Mr. Marsh was showing it to you pretty good.

That's just it. He wants to show it to us.

He wants us to experience the West through the window of a coach.

Now, how's that any different than looking at pictures in a book?

Well, I guess you got a point.

I'm gonna go see Mr.

Marsh and tell him you fellas are all right.

I want you to come back and see me, but only when you're ready.

Oh, do me a favor.

Don't try another stunt like this again, please.

You remember that?

It just don't seem right, us just stopping here.

We can't track at night, kid.

Kid, what's the matter with you?

Seems like your mind's been on something other than what we've been doing all

day.

Something Jesse said.

About you?

About my brother.

He said that maybe I should have been helping him instead of trying to

convince him what he was doing was wrong.

That ain't so, kid.

Your brother was wrong.

I know that.

Just got me thinking.

About what?

About everything I left behind to come out west.

Friends.

For a long time, I thought that it was the last time I'd see them. I thought

they'd be just memories.

I ain't so sure anymore.

Lou, if this war starts, when it starts, those folks try to take away my

memories, I'm going back home, you hear me?

You're gonna leave Rock Creek?

Leaving you would be the hardest thing that I ever had to do.

But staying would be harder.

Easy, big fella.

You just want to get yourself right there. I see you, that's it. All right,

Peter. All right.

There you go, man.

There you go, Grimby.

Go away.

I'll have to talk to Russell Majors and Waddell about sounding you on, Mr.

Grimby.

Yes, sir. A real express ride.

Mr. Quimby?

Mr. Quimby?

Did I hit something?

I have to admit, you have quite a flair for this entertaining the public, Mr.

Cody.

I'd ask you to come and work for me if I weren't giving it up.

You're giving it up?

Why? They look like they're having fun.

Oh, yes, they're fine, but I think I've discovered I'm not exactly cut out for

the country.

All right.

Well, what about instead of bringing people to the West, bringing the West

back to your people in the East?

I don't quite follow you. I've been thinking about this, Mr. Marsh, ever

since I met you boys.

Now, imagine this.

If you got yourself together a couple of real fancy shooters and a couple of

dozen horses, and maybe some wild animals or something like that, like

buffalo or something, put that all together, bring it back to New York, and

you started to put on some shows.

No.

No, it would never work.

Oh, you're probably right.

It was just a thought.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Marsh. A pleasure.

Gentlemen, take care now.

You too!

Look at that, Jessie.

Never thought you'd see this many banknotes in your whole life, did you?

No.

Don't it make you feel good?

We're gonna be heroes when we bring this back.

How many more people are gonna die along the way?

I told you before, somebody always gets in the way.

What if next time it's us?

You're scared, ain't you?

Ain't you?

Not anymore.

Sometimes people gotta die for what they believe in.

And I'm ready.

I don't know, Frank.

Well, you better make up your mind, because if you ain't ready for what's

coming, you ain't gonna survive.

What's gonna happen?

Things are a lot worse than I've ever seen or you could imagine.

And a whole lot more is coming down the road at us, little brother.

And you gotta be ready.

Because if you ain't...

It's gonna roll right on over you.

How's your leg holding out?

Oh, don't worry about me.

You really think Jesse and Frank are in that old ghost town?

I gotta figure that's where Frank was hiding the money there when I caught

him. Well, you done good, Jimmy.

I guess that Frank is a real burr under your saddle. I didn't do it for Frank,

Teaspoon. I did it for Jesse.

Guess Rachel's been talking to you too, huh?

Somebody's got to look after me.

Let's hold up for a minute.

Well,

I've seen worse than Jesse.

Yeah? Yeah.

There's one young fella, he was so used to looking for trouble, I had to hide it

from him just to keep things interesting.

But I kept forgetting that he was so young.

Guess I forgot that about Jesse, too.

So, whatever happened to this young fella?

Well, much to my surprise, he growed up.

And you know what?

What?

You turned into one hell of a man.

Damn!

Come on, let's get this over with.

Let him go Kill now, we just give ourselves away to Frank.

You can hear that shot for sure Besides I

always like surprises

I don't like this place, Frank.

Come on, let's get out of here.

What was that?

Company.

Wait here.

So you're looking for?

I thought you thought wrong.

Better wrong than dead.

Jimmy? You okay?

Yeah.

You're pretty smart, Hickok.

Yeah, well, you better hope so, because there's six more where he came from.

So we can take him.

We?

You're crazy. You need my gun.

Well, I already got your gun.

Look, I know these fellas. They ain't gonna stop until we're all dead. Now,

you two want to face that alone?

Give me a gun, Teaspoon.

You take care of your brother.

We'll take care of the rest.

You're bleeding, and you ain't even started yet.

Teaspoon, your leg's been eating pretty bad.

I don't know.

62?

Bet man sure wouldn't like these odds.

I was hoping you had a couple of cards up your sleeve.

We'll see.

Be careful, son.

Jesse, let me go.

Come on, now's our chance to ride out of here free and clear.

What about Teaspoon and Hickok?

Ain't you figured out yet that what we've been doing is more important than

either of them?

No. I guess I ain't figured that out yet.

Maybe the others will quit.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

We got the guy on the left.

I got the guy on the right.

Just taking the one on the roof.

Jimmy? My leg.

You?

Got my damn shoulder.

What are you doing?

Same thing I always planned on doing. Going home with the money.

If you know what's good for you, you'll come with me.

I thought we was history until I got the last one.

Meet the guy on the roof?

Yeah.

I got the guy on the roof.

What are you doing, Jesse?

Couldn't have stopped this right now.

All right, Marshal, you can keep the money. All I want is Jesse.

No deals, Frank.

I'm taking you in.

You tell him.

I ain't ready.

What? I mean, I ain't going with you.

I guess you'd know better than me.

Give these to Mom.

Frank, I... I know.

Jesse ain't ready to go, but I ain't ready to stay I'll be back

I know

Teaspoon?

Frank!

Teaspoon, that's my brother

What happened here?

I think Jesse's finding out who his family is.
