All language subtitles for Gun Fury (Western 1953) Rock Hudson, Donna Reed & Philip Carey (BR)

Hyah!

Hyah!

People talk about Billy the Kid,
or Wes Hardin, or Sam Bass.

Well, they're tough
and they're bad,

but there aren't any as
bad as Frank Slayton.

Uh, sandwich, Miss Ballard?

No, thank you. I'll wait
till Rodgers Station.

Mr. Hampton?

No, thank you.

Three weeks ago, he and
his gang rode into Taos.

Murdered four people.
Burned and looted.

Carried off two Indian girls.

Is that why they sent
these soldiers along?

You see the strongbox we're carryin'?
Ah, gold.

Frightened, Mr. Weatherby?

Yes, sir. I admit it.

So why don't you stay out of
this part of the country?

I can't. I'm a bones buyer.

Buffalo bones, that is.

I sell them for fertilizer.

But, Mr. Hampton, what are
you doin' out this way?

You're a southerner,
aren't you?

Yes. An unreconstructed
southerner.

I saw my home, Richmond, after Grant
and his men got through with it.

I know how you feel.

My home was in Atlanta.

My sympathies, Miss Ballard.

We have a great
deal in common.

Intending to stay out
here in the west?

Yes. The man I'm going to marry
is meeting me in Haynesville.

We'll go on to
California from there.

San Francisco?

Oh, no. He has a ranch.

Ever lived on a ranch?

No, but I'm sure
that I'll like it.

Better wake up, Mr. Burgess. We're
pulling into Rodgers Station.

Whoa! Whoa!

Harris, take your men back to
Fort Grant for replacements.

Perhaps you'll join me for
dinner, Miss Ballard.

That's kind of you, Mr. Hampton,
but I'm afraid that I can't.

Oh, he's not meeting you here,
the man you're going to marry?

No. In Haynesville tomorrow.

Well, then I can't
permit you to refuse.

Why should you dine alone?

I'm quite flattered, Mr.
Hampton.

But you'll have to
permit me to refuse.

Don't worry about it, Mr. Hampton.
I'll eat with you.

If I'd known that, Mr. Burgess,
I wouldn't have asked the lady.

Hurry up with that strongbox.

We don't get many Southern ladies
coming through the station.

Oh, say, that's beautiful.

It's a wedding present
from my family.

Oh, there's a fine minister
in Haynesville. Mr. Midgely.

Are you going to be
married in the church?

Oh, yes, of course.

That's the only way to do it.

I'll go and fix
you a cup of tea.

And I'll bring you
some of my biscuits.

I bake them myself.

She's quite a
woman, isn't she?

As far as I'm concerned,
all women are alike.

They just got different faces
so you can tell them apart.

To a man without taste, I
suppose all things are alike.

She's as different
from other women

as cognac is from
corn liquor.

You get the same kind of
headache from either one.

She can smile without
making it a simper.

That's a rare quality
in a woman, Jess.

She's also getting married
at the next stop, remember?

Yes, to a grubby dirt farmer.

What'll she look like
a year from now?

What difference does it make to you?
It's hello and good-bye.

A sad thought. Don't
you think so?

Stay away from her.

What did you say?

Stay away from her.

My private affairs
are private.

Don't ever forget it again.

Who is it?

It's me, Mrs. Rodgers.

Ben!

Ben, I-I thought―

I rode all night and all day.

It was easier than waiting.

Uh, Mrs. Rodgers, you'd
better find me a room

if you're planning on
running a decent hotel.

- You know― - I had―

riding across the desert last night,
I kept thinking what I'd say to you.

Now I can't remember.

Have I changed?

Mm-hmm, prettier than ever.

I tried so hard to remember
exactly what you looked like.

The smell of your hair,
your pretty eyes.

Ben, I've never
been so happy.

I just can't believe that
we're really together.

I've waited so long, Ben.

When the war ended, I thought
the waiting was over.

And then when I had
to wait again,

I guess I thought it would
never really happen.

It has, Jenny.

But I'll make it up to you for
every one of those years.

There'll be a lady
sitting here.

Have you any white wine?
Vino?

I almost got married
once myself.

It was all set until her family
came west in a covered wagon.

If you could have
seen her family,

you'd know why the
wagon was covered.

Miss Ballard, you're
just in time for supper.

Mr. Hampton, this is my fiancé, Mr.
Warren.

Well, a surprise
and a pleasure.

Mr. Hampton is one of
the coach passengers.

How do you do?

We've been looking forward
to meeting you, Mr. Warren.

I hope you'll join
us for supper.

- Oh, thank you, but he's―
- Well, why not?

Well.

This may not be the
Mansion House in Atlanta,

but you'll make three lonely
bachelors think it is.

Oh, Mr. Burgess, Mr. Warren.

Mr. Weatherby, Mr. Warren.

Glad to know you.

Be seated.

I tell you, the south
had a better army.

We rode better, we fought better,
we were led by better men.

And so we were defeated.

Hmm, defeat. Fellow once said,
"what is defeat?" You go home.

War is terrible.

Not always, Miss Ballard.

Yeah, when a man's dead,

he don't worry about the
color of his uniform.

I still say the war could
have been prevented.

How?

By peaceful means.

Negotiation,
compromise, reason.

If you stay out in the west, Mr.
Warren,

you're goin' to find you can't
negotiate with a bowie knife

or reason with a six-shooter.

I seen Gettysburg. Two years later,
you could still smell the blood.

And I saw Richmond after they
burned it to the ground.

I've seen enough and I've
had enough of killing.

I'm sick of
violence and force.

I learned one thing: Bullets
are very Democratic.

They kill good men
as well as bad.

I'd like to try
the other way.

Try it.

But I fought your war, too, and
I saw a world die― my world.

And what destroyed it?
Force, Mr. Warren.

The war is over.

We can't go on thinking
about it forever.

I've forgotten it.

I'm interested only
in the future,

because that's where we're going
to spend the rest of our lives.

I spent five years fighting
somebody else's quarrel.

Now I don't quarrel
with anyone.

By not carrying a gun?
Is that how you do it?

By staying in my
own back yard,

which, in this case, happens to be
1,200 acres of good California land.

1,200 acres.

You can stand on
the front porch

and see straight
ahead for 3 days.

The ocean's the west boundary and
the river's the east boundary.

For me, that's
the whole world.

And what happens on the other side
of the river is no concern of yours?

That's right.

Mr. Warren, would you mind if I
danced with the bride-to-be?

Not at all.

Mind if I cut in, Mr.
Hampton?

Not much of a dancer, Miss Ballard.
I guess I got two left feet.

So you're gonna be
married in Haynesville?

Yes, tomorrow evening.

That's the worst
town in Arizona.

Gamblers, cutthroats,
loose women.

But I heard it was very―

why don't you take the
stage to Tucson tomorrow?

There's a nice mission there.

At night, the stars come
right down and kiss you.

It sounds very beautiful, Mr.
Burgess,

but I think maybe we'd better
keep going on to California.

You wouldn't lose
but a few days.

It's a real spot for
a honeymoon, ma'am.

A place to remember the
rest of your life.

Thank you, Mr. Burgess.

And for the thoughtful
suggestion.

I'd do it if I
were you, ma'am.

You might not get
another opportunity.

We haven't had a dance yet.
I hope they play some more.

We'll wait till they do.

The stage leaves early.

If we take Mr. Burgess'
advice, we won't be on it.

He thinks we ought
to visit Tucson.

Well.

We're going to
California, Ben.

We can't get there
too soon for me.

I've never seen
anything so beautiful.

You will when we get home.

Home?

The most peaceful
spot on earth:

Ocean all green, sky
blue, earth good.

It's like an island.

Sun shining all day long,

soft breezes blowing
in from the ocean.

It's what I've
always dreamed of.

It's all I've
dreamed about, too.

That must be the new escort.
We'd better hurry.

I hope you're prepared for a
rough ride, Miss Ballard.

That Cavalry
patrol's a bit late.

We'll get to Haynesville
just that much sooner.

Where's your horse?

I sold it.

Men, you're late.
Where's Sergeant Davis?

He turned in a sick call, sir.
That's why we was delayed.

- Positions.
- Hyah.

All ready here.

It's about time. Hyah!

Giddyap there! Ha!

Ha!

What's goin' on up there?

Ben, what's happened?

It's a holdup.

I'll take that.

I believe a new set of
introductions are in order.

My name is Frank Slayton.

And this is tom Burgess,
better known as Jess.

And those Yank soldiers
out there are my men,

formerly the army of
northern Virginia.

Get that strongbox.

You know where the horses are, Doc.
Go get 'em.

All right, come on out.

You first, Miss Ballard.

Thanks for cooperating,
lieutenant.

I'd like to use
him for a target.

And start the war between
the states again?

I'm surprised at you, Blinky.

All right,
Weatherby, come out.

What are you going
to do with us?

I got him.

He's dead.

Curly, get her on a horse.

Hey, Vincente, look at that
beautiful sack of gold.

If she's part of the take,
how do we split her up?

Same as the gold: Share
and share alike.

Forget my share of the gold.

I'll settle for her.

Better take your
share of the gold.

When you get to Barratto's
you can buy three like her.

At Barratto's? Like her?

Bring in the strongbox.
We'll split up the gold.

What's the matter, curly?
Doesn't she like our cooking?

Says she ain't hungry.

Well, I am.

Maybe you didn't hear me
when I asked you before.

What are you plannin'
to do with her?

I heard you before.

I want to know what
you got in mind.

Anybody else tried to push
me like that, I'd kill him.

Don't chance your
luck too far.

Hey, those are mine.

You can have her
dress, Brazos.

You might look good
in those skirts.

Get out there and saddle up.

Vincente.

You should've eaten
something, Miss Ballard.

We have a long ride ahead.

Change into those.

I'll stay as I am.

Don't make me do it for you.

I meant what I said.

Go ahead. Show her what a
Southern gentleman you are.

You left the door open.
Go back and close it

from the other side.

I'm not trying to run things,

but I won't let you
drag her along―

I told you to get out.

What's happened to you?

When we started, we only
went after carpetbaggers.

Then it was anybody who
had anything we wanted.

Then it was Indian women.
Now it's her.

What would you have done, left her
in the middle of the desert alone?

No, but we can
leave her here.

All right, Jess.
Have it your way.

All right! Take him
out and tie him up.

You wouldn't wear those
clothes, would you?

There must be some sense
of honor left in you.

There isn't much of that left
anywhere in the world, Miss Ballard.

Ordinary men live
by ordinary laws.

I'm not an ordinary man.

The laws I need, I make
for my own convenience.

Get her on a horse.
Get mounted!

I told you before, there
couldn't be two generals.

You want to go with
us or stay here?

You'd last about 24 hours.

Once I get mounted, you got a half
a minute to make up your mind.

You want out of this,
just yell out.

Never crawled for nobody.
I'm not about to now.

If you change your
mind, just call out.

That'll do it.

Where is she?

You look very much
alive for a dead man.

What'd they do with my girl?

Slayton decided to keep her.

Where are they headed?

- Mexico.
- Where in Mexico?

Think you got a prayer
against that outfit?

Where are they takin' her?

There's a price for
that information.

I go with you.

Slayton did that, huh?

I didn't tie myself up.

I don't have to ask you why.

You tried to keep
us off that coach.

You can thank me
while we ride.

You can't ride, and I ain't
got any time to wait for you.

We need each other, Warren.

I'm going to help
you get your girl,

and you're goin' to
help me get Slayton.

That horse is going to
have to carry both of us

if you want any
information from me.

There's a sheep camp.

Ho, ho.

Light and rest a while.

That's a lot of weight for one
horse to be carryin', ain't it?

How about selling
us one of yours?

We got a sorrel you can have.
$50, saddle and all.

I'll take it.

We're after the Slayton gang. We
could use some guns and ammunition.

Put a bridle on that sorrel.
Let 'em have some guns.

Some riders passed
us last night.

Our fires was lit, but
they stayed clear.

How long ago?

Seven, eight hours.
Headed southwest.

They weren't ridin'
fast, though.

They held up a
stage yesterday.

Killed three men and carried
off one of the passengers.

The girl I was goin' to marry.
We could use some help.

Believe me, there's nothing
we'd like more, all of us.

But we just can't up
and leave these sheep.

Couldn't one or two of your men come
with us? It'd make a big difference.

Mister, you know
anything about sheep,

you know we can't spare
a hand just now.

How much do we owe you?

$50 for the horse and
about $78 for the guns.

It'll take that much
to replace them.

Get used to the idea.

It's two of us now, and it'll just be
two of us when we catch up with them.

Sorry we couldn't
help you more.

Like some water, ma'am?

No, thank you.

We'll be stopping soon.

We went by a town back there.
Why didn't you let me go?

And have half the
population after me?

It'd take me till nightfall to
ride back there. You'd be safe.

I can't do that,
Miss Ballard.

Why? Why can't you let me go?

When I first saw you, it brought back
things I hadn't thought of in years.

Richmond, the ladies
in fancy dresses,

garden parties, dances.

It gets lonely out here
for someone like me.

The only women are the
ones you find in saloons.

They're not my kind.

You are.

Am I?

You're a murderer.

No more than the man
you were gonna marry.

You wouldn't call
him a murderer.

Yet he killed in
the war to live.

His war stopped. Mine didn't.

There's a saloon over there.

Lookin' for the sheriff? Yes.

He's in the barber chair.

Sheriff?

Yeah, what can I do for you?

The Slayton gang rode past
here last night heading south.

I'd like help to
go after them.

Well, who are you?

My name's Warren.

I was a passenger on
the Haynesville stage.

Slayton held it up and
kidnapped my girl.

Yeah, we heard the
stage was overdue.

Man come by this mornin'
from Haynesville.

What'd you say you wanted?

Some men who can use a gun.

Hmm. From me?

I only got two deputies,
and one is in Yuma.

Get up a posse.

You make it sound real easy.
But it ain't.

We got one up last
week, sheriff.

That was for a hangin'.
That's different.

You want to go after
Frank Slayton?

No, not me.

It's not his job, it's yours.

That stage line don't
go through here.

If it was held up, it'd
be over in Gila county.

But they went past here
not six hours ago.

Look, mister, I got plenty
of trouble right here.

I don't have to
chase after it.

Every Sunday morning, my jail's got
more people than the local church.

What's that badge for?

You've got a responsibility.

Just to this town.

And nowheres else.

Hey, you want some gun hands, try the
saloon. You'll be doing me a favor.

My partner's trying
that right now.

He told me I'd get
no help from you.

Hey, maybe Slayton
took your girl.

In that case, I'm sorry
for you, mister.

And even sorrier
for the girl.

If it was my job to tangle with
the Slayton gang, I'd do it.

But like I said, my
job's right here.

How did you make out?

Like I told you.
Nobody's interested.

Well, I guess I
shouldn't be surprised.

I remember tellin' Slayton that
first night at Rodgers Station.

What happens on the other side of
the river is no problem of yours?

Yeah.

So I guess I can't
complain, can I?

Do you know anybody who
feels any different?

Well, I learned
one thing, Jess.

A man's got to do
his own growin',

no matter how tall
his father was.

Slayton's headed
toward Rock Springs.

It's not much of a town,
but you can try there.

Maybe we'll have better luck.

Get mounted, Westy.

You and Vincente are going into
Rock Springs for supplies.

- You mean right now?
- Right now.

Get some liquor, too.
We're out.

And keep out of trouble.

We could do with a
little coffee, Doc.

You ought to smile a
little more, Miss Ballard.

When are you going
to let me go?

When we're out of Arizona.

When will that be?

Arizonans are like Texans.

They say they're never
out of Arizona.

If it wasn't for her, we'd
all be at Barratto's by now.

Have us a woman.
And decent food.

If you got any complaints to
make, Blinky, make 'em to me.

I might be able to take
care of them for you.

Whoa.

Your man's dead. It was
his choice, not mine.

Next time you're thinkin' of runnin'
away, ask yourself where you're goin'.

The answer's nowhere.

I took you because
you're as alone as I am.

You look at me like that because you live
in a world that doesn't exist anymore.

We'd have met before the
war― but we didn't.

And it's a different
world now, the south.

A world with three armies:

An army of mourners, an army of
cripples and an army of thieves.

Fortunately, I'm still in one piece
and no one's cryin' over me.

Fill the canteens, Jess.

Seen anything of
the Slayton gang?

They ain't working this
part of the state.

- You're wrong. I've been trailing them.
- Hear that, boys?

Man says the Slayton gang's
around here somewhere.

You seen them?

I was on the stage
they held up.

Go ahead. Help yourself.

Well, thanks.

There's no more than seven
or eight men in that gang.

As far as I know, they don't
know we're trailing them.

- Who's "we"?
- I got a partner.

We could always use
some more gun hands.

There's a pretty good reward
for the men who bring 'em in.

What reward have they got for
the men who try and don't?

They're right here in
your own back yard.

If they want something from
the ranches, they'll take it.

Your women included.

Then they'll wish they never
came through this county.

Especially if they get a hold
of my woman. Your deal, Chuck.

Get ready. We're riding.

It's Vincente,
one of the gang.

There were two of them.

No! We'll follow him.

Where's Vincente?

- I think they got him.
- Who got him?

I only saw one of them. Said he
was on that stage you held up.

- A big fellow?
- Yeah, real big.

Wearing a gray shirt?

That's him. The
other was outside.

They're trying to get
a posse together.

That's been tried before.
We're still here.

They're on our trail.

What if they run
into an army patrol?

Yeah.

We'll get started right now.

And listen, it may
not be Warren.

I don't want a word
of this to the girl.

Told you that woman
would be trouble.

Should have dumped
her in the desert.

We're breakin' camp.

It's no good. We
gotta stop a while.

If Slayton crosses that
border, we're licked.

Without horses, we're licked.

You can ride 24 hours a
day, but they need rest.

How far is it to Mexico?

That won't make any
difference to the horses.

All right, we'll
rest a while.

He tried to kill you, Jess.
Why?

I think I know. You
seen me before?

Maybe he doesn't understand.

Him one of men who
come and set fire.

They take our horses

and my sister.

He's talking about
the Taos raid.

I was there, but I didn't like
what happened. I tried to stop it.

That raid is one reason
I'm not with them now.

They took my woman. He's
helping me get her back.

They leave my sister
in the desert to die.

You want the man that did it?

Slayton left me to die,
too, tied to a stake.

See that?

- You go after them?
- Yes.

You go, too?

Slayton take life from me.
Now I take one from him.

I go, too.

It's up to you, Jess.

You drop this?

That makes us a party.
A hunting party.

War party.

Anybody hear
something just then?

What's the matter, curly?
Got the jumps?

Don't say anything and
don't look surprised.

He ain't dead.

Fellow you was going to marry.
He's alive and following us.

I got two horses at the bottom of the
slope. I'm gonna start something.

Don't go until I do.

What's that?

Not again.

Nobody heard nothing.
Ease off.

Well, I did.

Go on and take a look.

Mount up!

Curly's trying to get
away with the girl!

So you tried to
pull a sneak on us.

Yes, and I told her
about Warren, too.

Stake him out, Doc.

I hope you weren't fooled
by what he told you.

He was lyin'.

Why should he be?

To get you to go with him.

I think it was a case
of love at first sight.

He was telling the truth.

You shouldn't judge
a man by his face.

Curly's been a thief and
an outlaw since he was 15.

Warren's dead.

It isn't going to help
you to think he isn't.

Get her back to camp.

Who is it?

It's Curly Jordan.

They staked him out and
rode their horses over him.

Give me a hand.
We'll cover him up.

Probably got into trouble the same
way I did. He wasn't so lucky.

They go in valley.

Westy, you and Doc round
up the fresh horses.

Stella?

In here, Paco.

Where's your uncle?

He went to Nogales
to get drunk.

What's the matter? Couldn't
he get drunk here?

I wait and wait. I
know you come back.

You knew more than I did.

How long you stay this time?

Long enough to change horses.

We'll be back again.

Where you go?

Mexico.

Then I go to Mexico.
We go together.

Not this time, Stella.

You say next time
I go with you.

We gotta get across
the border fast.

I'll send for you.

You make me the promise.
This time you keep it.

Sorry, Chamaca.
You're stayin' here.

No. I go with you.

I get ready.

Now I see why you say you
no take me to Mexico.

Who is that?

She's from the holdup. It was
dangerous to leave her behind.

You have other woman?

I told you a hundred times.
You're my girl.

There isn't anyone else.

I no believe you.

But love is never equal.

One loves always
more than the other.

I'm willing to be that one.

I understand. But we gotta get
across that border before nightfall.

I told you I'll send for you.

When?

Just as soon as we
get things set.

I'll never see you again.

Oh, let's not fight about it.

I'll do anything you want,

only don't take other woman.

Don't start that again.

Stay away from her.

She is your woman!

Call her what you like.

- Let me go with you, please!
- I said no.

You think you're
finished with me!

Blinky!

Keep her here and
keep her quiet.

I don't care how you do it.

Take it easy, señorita.

He ain't the only
man in Arizona.

There's me, for instance.

You?

I'll be coming back this way.

Come back?

Sure.

And I'll have plenty
of money, too.

You won't come back.

If I did, would you wait?

You like me?

Why you no come closer?

Afraid of Slayton?

I ain't afraid of nobody.

Hey, Slayton.

Couldn't be nobody
but Stella.

I don't want her
following us.

Let's see if I get you. You want me to
shoot her, shoot the horse, or what?

Suit yourself, Blinky.

Jo, the water.

It's the Morales girl.

Another one of
Slayton's women.

It doesn't have to
mean anything, Ben.

What do we do with her?

Well, we can't leave her.

If we go back, we lose day.

We'd lose more than a day.

I got an idea she
wouldn't go back.

We carry her.

- How long will we be here?
- We leave in a few hours.

Why not stay a couple of
days and rest up a bit?

I said we leave
in a few hours.

Wasn't for her, we wouldn't be runnin'
like a bunch of scared rabbits.

For a change, Blinky, I
got to agree with you.

Barratto!

Frank!

I think you get
killed or something.

Who's gonna do it?

You take her to Mexico?

I'm not leavin' her here.
Let's have a drink.

Sure.

You should leave her
with me, Frank.

Mexico is no place
for such a one.

- And your place is, huh?
- Sure.

Where are all the boys?

Oh, they be back three,
four day from now.

So you bring her
for yourself?

What you got for me?

Not a thing.

How old is this one?

You sure you don't want
to leave her with me?

Positive.

Señoritas.

Barratto's place is
just beyond that hill.

That's less than a mile away.

Why don't we go
in after them?

I guess you don't know
much about Pete Barratto.

No, I don't.

He'll buy or sell
anything, and does.

Trades with the
bandits in Mexico

and the outlaws
in the states.

He has plenty of gunmen
there ready to back him up.

They won't be expecting us.

Why risk it?

Slayton's going into Mexico, and
he's got to go through there.

We'll be in those
rocks above them.

There's nothing to do but keep
the cinch tight a little longer.

Grab some sleep. I'll
take the first watch.

Why don't you try
to get some sleep?

I cannot.

You think you kill Slayton?

Yes.

Johash think he do it.

Yes.

Jess think he will do it.

When the time come,
I will be the one.

Will killing him
make any difference?

Will you feel any
better when he's dead?

Yes.

Is good? You like?

This water is still cold.
Could you get me some more?

The kimono.

Please, you've
got to help me.

This is for you.

You will help me, won't you?

How?

Here.

Oh, please, please.
I cannot help you.

These men are very bad.

They will kill!
They will kill!

Please! Please!

You won't be needing that.

It's not exactly to your
taste, but I like it.

I'm takin' you to
Mexico with me.

In Mexico, we'll live the way
people like us ought to live.

Comfortable and gracious.

The way the south
was before the war.

Is that such a terrible
thing to offer?

By this time tomorrow,
we'll be in Mexico.

We gonna leave
your woman here?

Maybe we ought to leave
you here, Blinky.

Where are the saddlebags?

They're inside.

How did you get here?

You with Warren?

Give her your spur, Westy.

They will kill you! Each
of them will kill you!

Señor Warren, Jess. Johash!

Jess?

Jess is with 'em?

Sí.

Jess knows which
way we're headed.

They'll all be out
there waiting for us.

Because we took that girl.

I told you to shut
up about her.

You've had enough of her.
Now get rid of her.

Are you telling
me what to do?

I'm telling you
what we think.

Blinky's right.

If we give 'em the girl back,

that'll get Warren
out of the way.

What about Jess?

Warren will do anything to get his girl.
You can make a deal.

A deal?

The girl for Jess.

The girl for Jess.

Just send word to Warren
you want to make a deal.

If we can send word to him, we can also
find him... And make a deal with these.

Do you know anybody can shoot
faster or straighter than Jess?

I don't want to
tangle with him.

We got the gold. If we can
dodge a fight, let's do it.

We don't know how many
he's got with him.

I don't want to die rich.

Supposing Jess don't
want to come in?

He's got a big stake
in this gold.

He'll come in.

I'll send word to Warren. Get
a hold of Barratto's boy.

- What are you gonna do?
- Go down to Barratto's.

You sure she wrote it?

It's her writing.

Slayton made her write it.

He wouldn't have sent it if he
wasn't ready to make a deal.

There's only one kind of
a deal he understands,

the kind that comes
out of a gun.

Now's the time to
be tough, Ben.

In a fight, there's a chance
Jennifer might get hurt.

I'm going.

He'll be sittin' there waitin'
to blow your head off.

I know him.

I'll take a chance.

You fooled me, Warren.

I didn't think you'd
have the guts to come.

I'm here.

You always liked
deals, didn't you?

What's yours?

I'm surprised.

No questions about
Miss Ballard?

She's a delightful girl,

especially when you
get to know her.

All right, back off, Warren.

You got a deal to offer?

I've got a deal.

We make a trade.
Jess for the girl.

Do I shoot him, or do
you take care of that?

Brazos, get back to your girl.
I won't need you.

I made a mistake. I'm
willing to admit it.

I didn't want him to hear it.

When I started, it was
just Jess and me.

Now that he's not with me, I
know how much I need him.

To keep the men in line, to
help me work out our plans.

Without Jess, I'm like a
man with only one arm.

- Is it a deal?
- That's up to Jess.

No, it's up to you, if
you want your girl back.

You tried to kill him once.

I offered to let him go.
He was too stubborn.

Why send for me?
Why not Jess?

I told you, he's
too stubborn.

That's one of the
reasons I need him.

How do I get word to you?

Build up your campfire so
we can see it from here

if it's a deal.

I'll bring your girl
to you in the morning.

You better make the decisions, Jess.
You know him better than I do.

I thought I did.

But he always crossed me.

Then don't go.

You think he's on the level?

They had a gun at my back. Could've
used it if they wanted to.

Maybe he does need me.

I kind of figured he couldn't
handle that crazy bunch.

Jess.

Don't go if there's going
to be any trouble.

They got a fortune down there,
and part of it belongs to me.

To me, it's worth a chance.

You think Slayton
talk straight?

It's a 50-50 chance.

If it wasn't for Ben,
I wouldn't be alive.

So I guess it's
a fair gamble.

Well, Jess...

When you're out in
California workin' hard,

remember old Jess.

I'll be down in Mexico rolling
in gold and living like a king.

Good-bye, Miss Ballard.

He bring anyone with him?

No, we came alone.

Good luck to you, miss.

Jess!

Johash! The horses!

Ben, don't! Please don't!

He killed Jess. You can't make
deals with men like Slayton.

It took Jess's life
to make me face it!

But it's all over. You said so yourself.
We'll be home in a week.

And leave Slayton
to someone else?

Ben, we have a whole
life ahead of us.

If I walk away from this, what
will that lifetime be like?

Ben, once you said our ranch
was the whole world for you.

It is for me, too.

I found out it isn't.
It can't be.

You end up losing everything
to men like Slayton.

Ben, don't. Come back, Ben.

Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!

It's our last stop
before Mexico.

We better get some water.

Blinky, I said you could
bring that bobcat along.

Keep an eye on her. She's
yours, so watch her.

How much further we gotta go?

Fifteen miles to the border.
We'll leave at sunup.

Think I'll enjoy
Mexico, Stella?

Sooner or later I kill you.

Let's make it later.

Westy, go see if there's
any water in that well.

There'd better be.

Put enough in my bag for
me and the gal now.

Johash, get around back.

You stay here and keep low.

Slayton!

Here's your water, Slayton!

When you get thirsty,
come out and get it.

Out the back.

Get those saddlebags.

Open it up, Jim. Open it.

Warren! We got a
friend of yours here!

We're comin' out!

Raise your gun a half an inch
and we'll blow her head off!

Kill him! Shoot him!

You never learned how to use
a gun, did you, Warren?

It's easy.

All you do is
pull the trigger.
