when they did until you learn how to

behave like a gentleman what's going on

pick an argument with Ringo which of

course is like committing suicide so

Ringo said good eh hey it's got a wicked

manner of fighting all his own

calls it a handkerchief duel I'll be

gone with you

all right gentlemen enjoy yourselves

there'll be no gun play today

you're quite right Mr Clancy I'm sick

and tired of these young high rollers

them out of my way

turn around

I'll give you one last chance to

apologize and get out of town Cowboy

you've been selling me in front of all

these men and I demand a showdown

you either turn around and fight

or I say you're a coward

you've been begging for it long and hard

Punk

I guess I'll have to oblige

if you're as Brave as you think you are

step up and grab the end of this

handkerchief

possibly miss you agree

I ask you a question

Why'd You Come here

I was worried so was father the police

have been to the house asking questions

about you

did they say what

yes

something about a train robbery

here in Arizona

what could we tell them

we told them what you've been writing is

that you were a prosperous cattle buyer

so you've never quite believed my

letters

is that it

we did John

[Music]

is this where you live yes it doesn't

look like a place that a prosperous

cattle buyer would live in

doesn't it

those two men

are they prosperous cattle owners too

forget you ever had a brother forget you

ever saw me Oh Come Back start over

again Johnny you're young yet you're

[Music]

[Music]

told me Johnny had left four years ago

that he had kept up a front of

respectability in his letters

I'm sure you will miss rainbow

a couple hundred dollars Matt he won't

come back for that

when you came up to the door you said

Ringo was telling those men something

about a train that's right

a train was making a 10-minute stop for

water at 4 45

what do you make of it Matt

I don't know

one of those state much hanging all by

itself in midair

I don't make anything of it to you well

I don't know

Ringo's the kind of a man that wouldn't

be talking about a train unless he was

going to catch one

a Rob one would he no it's a slim lead

if I ever heard one how many trains

stopped for water at 4 45.

yeah

and if there was such a trend it'd be

kind of interesting to know what he's

carrying wouldn't it

I don't know what I'd do without you

it's a home office wants me off at

Wilcox checking train schedules wait

hardly hear from me

sorry about all this Miss Ringo bye

Frankie

[Music]

the railroad dispatcher's office in

Wilcox I found out that an eastbound

Freight made a daily water stop at 4 45

this side of the Dragoon mountains that

in itself meant nothing but when I

learned that Wednesday's Freight was

bringing a quarter of a million in

silver bullion from the Arizona mines it

was too big a hunch to be overlooked

the Wilcox Sheriff thought enough of my

story to get up a posse

they're all here Matt Let's Ride

a train ride was part of the Trap

we were ready

Ringo wasn't going to disappear in the

sagebrush the water stopped was but a

few minutes off it was Wednesday July

the 5th 1882.

the water stops only a few minutes down

the line

[Music]

hey Matt look

it's a trap

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

whoa

[Music]

we're gonna have to swim for it

[Music]

[Applause]

we got to the bottom this way let's go

Ringo took a desperate way out and made

it it delayed me but didn't throw me off

I made my way down to the lake Ringo and

his men were gone but the trail was hot

[Music]

[Applause]

he's halfway across the desert we'll

never make it by now it's too hot to dry

get off here

what do you got Sheriff not very much

but you better take it Matt we'll head

on back and get some and we'll follow

you

oh good luck man thank you Lee I'll lead

it

[Music]

[Music]

rain goes harsh was fresh mine was not

in less than an hour I was tracking him

again

he was heading for the Border across the

desert

I could tell by the cyan Rainbow's horse

was giving out

he was walking his horse to spare him

like I was doing with mine

[Music]

who are you Mr what are you dogging me

for murder robbery Ringo you'll never

take me alive

foreign

[Music]

it looked like Ringo was going to make a

stand there at the edge of the desert

instead of going across

we exchanged shots to let one another

know we were both there

son went behind the Horizon the night

came on

I waited

[Music]

throughout the night I listened for the

Clutter of horses hoofs telling me Ringo

was making his break

I heard nothing

but the coyotes and insects

[Music]

[Music]

Rango did nature my morning reveley of

gunfire suspicious I started moving on

his position

foreign

Ringo's horse wasn't dead but not far

from it

Johnny had a good start on me I had no

canteen

it was a question of water in a few

hours or death

there was no use to turn back

there was no water that way

[Music]

Ringo headed along the desert route

known to the old Spaniard says or not a

de la muerte

a March of death

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

I couldn't go any further

my only consolation was that the desert

would claim Ringo too

[Music]

no

couldn't be

couldn't be Frankie come to help me

no I was a mirage

dream

[Music]

s

thank you

[Music]

when your Ringo couldn't be far away but

he might still be alive we move

cautiously

hey Matt

there he was flying beside his spring

too far gone to dig for the precious

water that lay beneath the sand

if he had only looked up and seen the

lake

he would have beat us and the desert

[Music]

thank you very much Mr Clark

the watch is the only thing I want to

remember Johnny bye

take the rest

[Music]

Let's Go Frankie
