["Pomp and Circumstance"]

I think the captain's gonna show up, bitch.

I ain't sure for her.

Gaby, Dots.

Look.

Captain.

It's been a long time since we all opened again or again.

Have a seat.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

Have a seat.

One more drink for the captain.

Captain.

Jabplin?

Well, here we are.

I recognize the prize use.

I'm getting a letter from me.

It surprised me that you know how to write.

Now where's that field report that Major Hawley wrote,

concerned Colonel Cloud's dead?

That's right, is it?

Right here.

Look, Soth, I think.

You can bet on that.

All right, took it off.

The Major just after he went and got himself shot.

Poor fella, dying like that for you to change to deliver it.

And the funny thing is, I forgot I even had it.

I saw that book the Colonel's widow wrote about him

being such a hero.

It was then it came to me.

Maybe the Colonel's widow would pay a lot of money,

just to keep him a hero.

Well, that's where you're wrong. I know the lady.

She might be shocked to learn how he really died,

but she would see all of you hang before she'd agree to pay any blackmail.

Oh, I don't think we're going to have any problems with you acting

as a goal between Captain,

especially with you being such a well-respected man in the community.

She'd see me hang, too.

Captain, you're disappointed. You got no way of knowing just what she's going to do.

We go into a lot of trouble. We wrote a long way. We aim to get paid.

I reckon you just better go ahead and give it a try.

When you let me finish, I got your letter.

I started thinking and I have a better idea.

Keep talking, Captain. I don't care how you do it as long as we get paid.

Two days from now, the Colonel's body is being shipped to Philadelphia,

to Lion State in a national shrine.

Because I served under him, I've been chosen to escort the body.

That's real touching? What are you getting at?

Well, if the body were to get lost along the way,

I'm sure the family would be glad to pay for its return.

You mean suggesting we kidnap a corpse?

If it doesn't offend your sensibility...

Captain, you can't thank one of your fandors.

I think that's a real good joke, I'm a girl.

We sure hate to see him rest in peace.

And you flew, and you flew.

What a doer, what a dream come true. What can you do?

From the tomb's impact, from the top of old dandelier hill of his forehead,

you, the ripenest, glorious, fightless man, the front of the river, knew.

And you flew, was a man, his big hand.

And he fought for an aridant to make for an aridant scream.

What a doer, what a dream come true, it was me.

You know, it only seems like yesterday when you were just a little piggy-tag,

and you were a little piggy-taggy.

And now, you are all grown up, and you're a young gentleman in Philadelphia.

That's Becky's idea. She figured his time is exposed to civilization.

Well, offhand, I'd say he isn't too happy about it.

Well, I wouldn't exactly call him overjoyed about having to wear that suit.

It's a sissy suit.

Oh, I wouldn't say that. I think you look real fine in it.

And it's a sissy school. There ain't anything else I need to learn.

When I ask him, I think you've already lost that argument to your mother.

You might as well make up your mind to that.

I ain't gonna like it, and I ain't gonna like any of the sissies that go to it.

I'll bet on that.

But you know, that feeling will all go away.

I could remember what I first left home.

Bet you could remember too, Daniel.

Yep. I can remember.

I don't know who it's harder on when it's time to go.

The parents or the children.

You know, I'm surprised you didn't bring Becky along.

Long trip.

Had some business with Ben Franklin in Philadelphia, so I got elected.

Well, it's been nice talking to you, Daniel.

If you'll excuse me now, I'll go and get your luggage taken out.

That coach will be here in a minute now.

But don't you hurry your meal.

I'll call you when it's time to go.

Thank you, brother.

Andrew, you better drink some of that milk.

It's gonna be a long time before we get there.

Looks like you've gone in the undertaken business game.

Looks that way.

Somebody from around here.

No, got on board late yesterday at Haylerville.

Going all the way to Philadelphia.

Well, at least you've got cool weather for the trip.

How long do we stop here, Robert?

All we've done is take some low dislugged.

Oh, well, there's no point in my getting out.

How many passengers you got for me?

Just two.

Daniel, boot in Israel.

They're bound for Philadelphia, too.

Daniel, that'll be a pleasure.

Daniel, coach is here.

Here we go.

Good morning, young man.

Since we're traveling together, let me introduce myself.

I know that you're Mr. Boone.

My name is Harris.

Logan Harris.

I know you, Mr. Harris.

This is my son Israel.

My pleasure, Israel.

Glad to have your company.

It's a dull trip traveling along.

Have a good trip, Gabe.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Hello!

Well, you sure are a welcome sight.

I've been walking this lonely road all day, just hoping and waiting for somebody to come along.

What happened?

Oh, no cause for alarm, Mr.

My horse broke a leg last night and put me a foot.

If you could told me to the nearest settlement, I'd not only be obliged, I got money to pay.

Sure would like to accommodate you, Mr.

But there ain't space inside for you in a saddle.

No, no, no, no. We can't leave the man stranded here. It will make room for him.

Well, thank you, sir, but I wouldn't want to put you out.

If it's all right, I'll ride on the boot with you.

It's all right of me, Mr.

Torsh, you saddle up here and climb on.

Uh, thanks.

I mean, you get the hard and scary, four-dark.

This is mighty kind to you.

Get up.

It's your big, lonely section to get set a foot.

Well, this is me, Picton. You'll faint.

I sure would have thanked you for stopping.

Most drivers wouldn't.

Highwaymen been on the holdup, coach's long here.

It's not a fact.

Yeah, in broad-open daylight, too.

Then I am fortunate you stopped.

You're real fortunate you didn't try to hold me up.

You might not know it, but I had a gun on you.

Underneath the coat.

You may not know it, but I got a gun on you right now.

And it ain't underneath my coat.

All right, Mr., what do you want?

Your gun.

Thank you.

There's an old road walking to the right.

About half mile up ahead.

That's where we turn on.

How are you?

There's an old road walking to the right.

About half mile up ahead.

That's where we turn on.

Oh, what's your need off the road?

What is that jabe thinking he's doing?

He's following orders, Mr. Brown.

And I would suggest that you do the same.

I can hardly miss it this distance.

Would be difficult.

What does this hold up?

Not in the accepted sense of the word.

It's a technicomity.

In one case you get robbed.

In this case you don't.

What happens in this case?

I get shot.

No, not if you don't cause me any trouble.

Under the circumstances you're looking at the most peace-loving individual you can run across.

Why don't you lower that blunder bus if we had a bump that could go off?

I'm glad to see you have a sense of humor, Mr. Bones.

I don't know how much of a sense of humor I have, but I sure know when I'm out in number.

Pa?

Have you been understanding what he's talking about?

Not completely.

But I do understand that gun.

Why don't you just keep on looking out to wend at the same way and try to enjoy it?

I've left you again.

Now that makes forty dollars I got coming.

Oh, there's no good in the play cards with you.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

Oh, there's no good in the play cards with you.

We're going to get the cards.

Any sign of them yet?

Nothing.

Nothing.

You know, I don't like it.

Why don't you lie?

If nothing went wrong, that coach should have been here by this time.

Now you heard me tell Lynch not to try to take that coach alone?

Yeah, alone.

You forget.

Captain's traveling with the deer departed.

Yeah, but what good can he do inside the coach?

Now I still say we all should have been there.

And I still say Lynch was right.

Now look, that coach is going to stop for one man walking,

but it ain't about to stop for any more.

Four men on horseback could have stopped it.

Well, that's right.

They wound up with somebody getting killed.

Now look, right now none of us is in trouble.

I just assumed it stayed that way.

Well, I still say.

Listen.

Jones, come on.

Ross, stay here.

We'll find out if everything's all right.

Right.

Oh!

Driver, down from there.

Lynch, take the coach around back and stable the horses.

Yes, sir.

Hi!

Mr. Boone, would you please step inside?

Glad you got here, Captain.

We were going to get worried, Ross.

I'd like your plan low and stay here very long.

Well, until morning, if everything goes well.

Captain, should we tie him up?

Oh, you might tie the driver.

I'd like to tell you something.

Mr. Boone would jeopardize the safety of his son.

I wouldn't do anything because harm to that boy.

That's right.

James, an old friend.

He wouldn't do anything to put Erzwell in danger any more than I would.

Very well, I don't take your word for it.

Thank yourselves, comfortable gentleman.

We won't be doing anything until it gets dark.

Light of fire, Timbo.

Yes, sir.

Give me one.

Let's go.

You know, Dennell, the more I think about it, the less sense it makes.

I need your bother to hold up that stage.

What are we waiting for?

Do you have anything about your own mistrips?

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Do you have anything about your own mistrip, Gabe?

Nope.

All this care has your luggage, and that corpse.

The corpse.

Maybe that was it.

You mean you think the father stealing that got to have her?

It's been done.

A man that had sinked that low,

wouldn't stop it committing.

Go ahead and sad, Gabe.

That's what it's like to sleep.

But you know what I mean, anyway.

Come on, Dennell, again.

I reckon nobody's missed that coach yet.

How sweet had visitors for it?

I should have anybody miss it.

It wasn't due at the next stop till dark.

It ain't too long, Lou Dark, now.

You think of that come looking for her?

I'm sure you're not going to miss her.

I'm sure you're not going to miss her.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You're not going to miss her.

I'm sorry.

You're not going to miss her.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You're not going to miss her.

You think of that come looking for us then?

No, not before morning.

We'll be gone shortly after that.

Don't tell Mr. Boone I want to talk to him.

What do you want him for?

He's going to collect our ransom for us.

I've been meaning to talk to you about that, Captain.

Just where is the money and how do we go about getting it?

Now, if I were to tell you that, Lynch,

you'd probably shoot me in the back and try to get it for yourself, wouldn't you?

Captain, you sound like you don't trust me.

I don't.

I go and get him.

You do trust him, as long as we have his boy.

I don't know.

You can still figure some way to double crosses.

No, I'm sure Boone is much too intelligent for that.

I go and bring him out here, please.

Yes, sir, Captain, sir.

Captain, what's the talk to you?

I don't know anything in particular.

Mr. Boone, why don't you ask him?

He's right outside.

Captain, he's off the wakes up game.

I'm going to see you about something.

Yes, a little conversation.

You can go now, Lynch.

I was well-seemed to you, Captain, I'll steer off.

No, you won't go on back inside.

Captain, you just don't have any faith in me, do you?

And I ain't sure I got much in you.

Well, that's unfortunate because right now you don't have any choice.

I'm not sure I got much in you.

Well, that's unfortunate because right now you don't have any choice.

Yeah.

Sir, Mr. Boone, perhaps you care to join me in a drink?

No, thank you.

You wish?

No, I heard there's no reason you can't be seated.

I take it your friends don't care too much for you.

My friends?

Whatever else you want to call them.

It is my misfortune, Mr. Boone, to find myself in league with men such as those.

And I suppose you're wondering why.

I've got my share of curiosity.

Well, maybe you remember the old slogan about war making strange bedfellows.

Mr. Harris, the war has been over for some time.

Not for me, it hasn't.

With a little luck.

It might end sometime tomorrow.

Nobody got your deal.

What are those two poleavans about out there?

They ain't real sure.

Why don't you stay with them and find out?

Captain told me to leave.

We ain't near me no more.

How come he thinks he can give us order?

Because we ain't got that ransom yet.

That's how come.

Maybe it's about time we took a hand in this.

He sit down, Tim, don't you know the captain ain't going to tell us nothing?

I'm not sure.

I don't know what you know the captain ain't going to tell us nothing.

Until we get that money, we're going to have to let him play soldier.

All I want to know is where that ransom is and who's going to pick it up.

That's what I want to know.

Well, he's sending Boone after it out on the way.

Son, we'll just sit and we'll wait.

He'll be in.

You still haven't told me why you called me out here?

No.

You see, I've been wondering just how far I could trust you.

Why should you trust me at all?

Because I need your help.

You kidnapped me and my son and you asked me for my help?

This is all admitted, super-cute of requests, but then this is a peculiar situation.

It was a mischance that you were on that coach, but there's no help for that now.

However, it does entitle you to an explanation.

Have you ever heard of a Colonel Martin Vincent Cloud?

Some sort of war he ruined.

That's the way the army's record reads.

In an engagement along the Saluda River with the enemy, Colonel Cloud, with a mere handful of men,

fought in heroic rearguard action which enabled his regiment not only to escape a British ambush,

but turn what seemed to be a defeat into a decisive victory.

There's more to it, but I won't bore you with that.

You seem to know the record pretty well.

I ought to. I'm the one who wrote it.

The only trouble is there's not a word of truth in it.

The truth, Mr. Boone, is that Colonel Cloud was a glory hunter, a drunk and a coward.

I served under him, so did Lynch and Timbo and those other two men.

There were five of us left when he was killed and the British did not shoot him, Mr. Boone.

He killed himself on the field of battle after getting most of his command completely annihilated.

Well, why did you falsify the record?

Respect.

Respect for his family. It didn't seem very important at the time, if you.

Words and a piece of paper.

The only trouble is that the Colonel's widow wrote a book about it, and Lynch got a hold of that book.

And he also has the field report written by the Colonel's adjutant Major Hawley who was also killed.

And Mrs. Cloud is a very wealthy woman.

So you threw in with them to blackmail her?

Black males and ugly business Mr. Boone are very dangerous.

Body snatching is easier.

I've already figured that out.

How much are you asking for the body?

$20,000.

I reckon I don't have to tell you what I think a man would rob a grave.

No, I reckon you don't.

But at least now you know why we're waiting.

There is just one more thing.

You're going to collect the ransom.

That's where you're wrong.

I've done a lot of things in my time, but I've never sold a corpse and I don't aim to start now.

Unfortunately, you don't have any choice, and neither do I.

I had planned to go after that money myself, but if I leave here now, I doubt very much whether you, your son or your friend Gay would be alive when I get back.

Suppose I run your errand for you. What'll happen after I get back?

I'll tell you very frankly that I don't know. That depends largely on you.

You know what you're asking me to do, Doctor? You're asking me to stick my neck in a noose.

I'll let me reassure you on that point. If you follow my directions, no harm will come to you.

Until I get back.

Until you get back.

Or if you're followed or you try to bring help.

There's one thing I can say for you. Don't leave any doubt in a man's mind.

Where do I go and what time do I leave?

How fast can you get to Salem back?

Depends on how I travel.

I have a horse here. He's strong and he's fast.

You sit about four hours each way.

All right, you have to be there by midnight and back here by dawn.

It's got to be pre-fime.

Lynch!

The element of time is most important, Mr. Boone.

The coaches don't vanish without arousing yet. Certain curiosity.

Yes, sir.

Saddle my horse from Mr. Boone and he'll be leaving shortly.

All right.

Listen to me, careful.

What did you find out, battle?

Well, much. I didn't know before.

The thing that killed us all to go ahead and do it now.

Well, Harry's wouldn't let him.

Harry's. I figured he is the leader of the gang.

Just until he got paid off.

Look, Gabe, I'm going to leave for a while.

You mean they're letting you go?

Not very far and not for very long.

Will you look after his reward gone?

You don't have to ask me that, Dall.

I do my best to see it. No harm comes to him.

Thank you.

I'm going to leave.

Hazel.

Paul?

Have we got to Philadelphia yet?

No, not yet. Remember we turned off the road to come here?

Now I remember. How long are we going to stay here?

Well, not long now.

Except I'm going to have to leave you for a little while.

Ain't you going to take me with you?

Not this time.

That's why I had to talk with you.

I want you to stay here with Gabe.

And I want you to do everything he tells you to do.

Would you do that for me?

And you won't be scared.

No, Paul. I won't be scared.

You'll be a good boy.

Captain's calling you.

Go back, sir.

Gatton, I want you to remember.

If Boon don't come back with that money, we're going to hold you responsible.

He'll bring it back.

You know what you have to do.

No.

Remember, you've only got till son up.

I thought that perhaps the boy might be hungry.

Go ahead, Israel. The rest of me eating it, so I reckon it ain't been poisoned.

Thank you.

Well, that's spoken like a little gentleman.

And I must say that you're dressed like a gentleman, too.

I may be a little.

But I ain't a gentleman.

I ain't human being one either. School or no school.

Seems as though I've blundered on a rather touchy subject.

You mind if I sit down, I find the time and pass as faster if you have someone to talk to.

I'd figure you'd be more comfortable to have the side of the room.

Those four.

I'd rather sit where I can keep an eye on them.

I don't know how you'd feel, mister.

Sit down if you mind, too.

Don't see it could do us any harm.

Thank you.

Do you know where my car went?

Yes, Israel. I know.

He's coming back, Amy.

Yes, he is coming back.

No one's going to hurt him, are they?

I give you my word, Israel, that no harm will come to him while he's gone.

Can't believe him, Gabe.

Well, I don't know why, but he reckon I do.

They eat you separate, Israel.

Thank you for your vote of confidence.

Well, I wouldn't call it confidence.

It's mostly because I can't figure where you fit into this.

Don't try, Gabe.

You'll only get more confused.

I don't know if the rest of you took note of it or not, but that captain doesn't seem to care much for our company.

I don't recollect he ever did.

That's what I mean.

I always figured I was as good as any man, except he never treated me like he thought I was.

Well, that's because you never had no school.

I'll make you bets that driving ain't had no school in either, but there they said.

Like there was long-time friends. Take a look.

And I'm very French at Timbo. Ain't gonna be for long.

You got something in your mind?

Yeah.

Yeah, I've been thinking what we leave here.

We ain't gonna have much use for the captain.

We're not killing him?

I ain't gonna let him run loose.

Well, Tim, let's do it now so we can get some sleep.

True, that is. We don't know what the captain told Boom.

No, that's right. That's right.

The captain hears us a cautious man.

Good beat Mr. Boom's gonna want to see him alive and healthy before we get paid off.

That sleeping is a good idea.

Price, why don't you stand guard for a while?

No sense all of us staying awake.

I'll spell you in an hour or two.

I'll be back.

Luther, Luther Michael!

Luther!

The end is closed for the night, so stop banging on that door.

You're trying to awaken the entire neighborhood?

Open up, Luther, it's me.

Dano, what in tarnation are you doing back here?

You're supposed to be part of way to Philadelphia.

Are you gonna open up or do I have to kick the door down?

Be right down.

You're gonna open up or do I have to kick the door down?

The end.

Now, Dan, when you please tell me what is this all about?

No questions, Luther. Just take my word. I'm gonna need your help.

Where's Israel?

He's all right for now and we'll be the son of.

Now, that just plain don't make sense.

It makes more sense than you know.

Now, I'm gonna need a fresh horse.

A fresh horse?

Yeah, I'm gonna have to plumb more out and I've got 40 miles to go.

You mean tonight?

I mean tonight.

Well, I can get you the horse, but man, you need some food and rest.

You just get the horse, Luther.

Well, if you're dead set on it.

Oh, I'm gonna need a pistol.

Oh, well, you'll find one behind the bar over there.

And make yourself a hot rum. You look like you could use it.

It's a good idea, Luther.

I'm gonna need a gun.

I'm gonna need a gun.

I'm gonna need a gun.

I'm gonna need a gun.

Maybe you're a poddensick.

It's late.

I know, but I saw you lights till burnin'.

Is your name Jason?

He has it.

Then I'm to say that Mr. Logan sent me.

Those are the words, sir.

Now if you come with me, I'll get you what you came from.

I don't suppose I have to count it.

No, sir. You can take my word. It's there. Just the way I was told.

All right, Jason.

Well, I'll be going then.

Dan, who's that?

The question was Luther.

Well, I can't ask you if you found the gun, can't I?

You can and I did.

And the room?

It's keeping hot for me.

You're in some kind of trouble, Daniel.

Not if you'll just tell me.

I don't tell you, then you won't know somebody asks you a question.

Well, I can raise the customer. If they like,

and in the morning I can round up some men.

Luther, just forget I was here and thank you for the money.

And in the morning I can round up some men.

Luther, just forget I was here and thank you for the horse.

It's fine.

Easy, boy. Easy.

I'll take a walk with you.

Badly you're hurt.

It's not your fall, boy.

Looks like you've got us in a mess of trouble.

What time is it?

It's almost three.

It'll be daylight an hour or so.

Oh, brother, I'm glad I'm sorry.

Is your car going to be sleeping?

Keep wondering what's going to happen.

I wish I could tell you, Gabe.

You don't get it.

You're getting almost time to move out.

If you want anything to eat, you better get it now and get the gear packed.

We won't waste any time once Boone gets here.

Yes, sir.

I am better saddle the horses to.

Now this time enough for that, we'll wait until it gets late.

Jim up.

Come on, Timo, wake up.

What's up?

Josh, are you?

Huh?

What's up, brother?

Josh, look.

Wake up.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Get our gear together.

You know, back to Santa Mike's rollies, and wake up, sir.

Hey, look at the horses.

Hey.

Does my ball come back yet, Gabe?

No, he's not coming back yet.

He's not due to sunrise.

I'll let you know.

You go back to sleep.

No, no, no, no, sir.

Don't shoot, mister.

I'm on the arm.

I ain't got a penny on me.

Well, this is no hold up.

All I want to do is trade horses with you.

Trade horses?

Yeah, mine fell and came down lame.

He'll carry on into sailing, but he won't get me to where I have to go on time.

I don't like your proposition, mister.

So step aside.

I'm going to get you a little bit more.

I'm going to get you a little bit more.

I'm going to get you a little bit more.

I'm going to get you a little bit more.

I'm going to get you a little bit more.

I know you're going to get your proposition, mister.

So step aside.

I don't like doing business this way, but you're giving me no choice.

Will you listen?

No, I'm listening.

I'm listening.

I want you to take my lame horse to Luther Michaels at the Golden Cup.

Well, I'm bringing you your horse the first chance I get.

Here's some money for your trouble.

CHALLENGE SCREAMS

AD Rickey

I'm going to get you a little.

Come on.

Timbo.

Oh.

Mr. Boone's a prof man.

Let's begin to figure he'd really double cross this.

Just when are you planning on your shump?

I'll let you go.

Hold you stay with the horses.

Back, Mr. Boone.

I trusted you, brought the money.

I brought it.

I left it down the road of patience

until I make sure that Gabe and my son are still alive.

Captain, that could be a trap.

You don't think I'd gamble with my son's life?

No, no, no, no.

Israel's all right, Mr. Boone.

Go on in and see for yourself.

Just a night.

You're getting here getting off for careless.

Mr. Boone might have brought a gun with him.

For yourself.

Oh, look at that.

Oh, it should, is that?

All right, go on.

Pa!

Are you all right, Israel?

I'm fine, Pa.

But I'm real glad you're back.

You satisfied?

You're not satisfied?

No, where's the money?

It's an elder buried bush about 100 yards up the road.

You won't have any trouble finding it.

What are you gonna do, Daniel?

I don't know, Gabe, until the time comes.

Israel, no matter what, I want you to stay put.

Do you understand?

No matter what.

I understand, Pa.

Anything I can do?

You stay here, Gabe.

Israel might need all the help you can get before we're done.

I'm all right, I told you.

Let me make the first move.

That's good.

All right, this is what you wanted, gentlemen.

Now you may take it and leave.

Tim, go have a look.

All right?

All right?

Sure looks like it.

And it sure feels like it.

You satisfied?

No, not I completely.

You got what you wanted, what else am I supposed to do?

What are the others?

That Mr. Lynch is my affair.

Captain, they're all right.

Lynch put that gun away.

No, not this time, Captain.

And about the others.

Ain't your affair no longer?

I'm taking over now.

It's of course you're all in this with him.

That's right, Captain.

We came to the conclusion that we just can't trust you anymore.

I got the money for you, didn't I?

That's right, Captain.

We appreciate it.

We really do.

But we don't have any need for you anymore.

All right, now I'm going to tell you just once more,

you get on those horses and get out of here.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Have us ride out, leave the rest of you here together?

First place you got, you can sink the law on us,

that's just what you do.

If I had wanted to bring in the law,

I could have done it a long time ago.

Sure, Captain. Sure.

Now you've been scheming something right along.

I don't know what it is, but you ain't getting away with it.

Because now we got insurance.

I don't know what it is, but you ain't getting away with it.

Because now we got insurance.

What?

We aim to take Mr. Boone's boy with us.

Just in case you aim to follow.

If anyone used so much as lay as a hand on that boy,

I will kill you, Lynch.

Now, Captain, now you won't kill me,

because I'm going to kill you first.

Now you've been giving orders long enough.

You've been kicking me around like I was a dog,

and I've been taking it because of that money.

You're the only one who would have get it.

Oh, things are different now, Captain.

I don't need you no more.

Hope get his gun.

That kind of pulls your fangs, don't it, Captain?

I reckon you won't be interfering with us no longer.

You need the Mr. Boone.

You know, for a while, I figured I'd have to shoot you too.

Now I doubt you'll give us much trouble.

If you want to keep your boy alive.

If you touch my son, Lynch, Harris will get a chance to kill you.

I'll be there first.

Well, now, listen to you when you're a big dog.

Mr. Boone, are you trying to scare me?

I'm not trying to scare you.

I'm trying to tell you.

Do it, Captain. Just give me an excuse.

Well, have my conscience set easy when I blow a hole through you.

Cross, go fetch Mr. Boone's boy.

I told you, Captain, I've been looking forward to this.

Go on.

Ha!

Yes, sir.

You stay here.

That's why I got to help him.

If only you get yourself hurt and you hurt me, now you're punk.

It'll be all right.

Hey!

Fine, hold it.

Over there, all of you.

The captain, it was, it was Lynch's idea about the mother.

No, Timbo.

Give me the time up.

Well, that doesn't fit in with my plans, Mr. Bone.

I'll take that field report now, Lynch.

All right, now get over there.

Now that I've got you lined up, I ought to shoot a lot of you.

Go on, get on your horses and get out of here.

Captain!

You heard me do it before I change my mind.

Go on, take it with you. It's worth it to me. Not to have to look at you anymore.

Timbo.

You wait for me.

Where'd he go? Let him go?

Yeah, the chances are they'll all get greedy and kill each other anyway.

Well, then why let him go?

Because it's my $20,000, Mr. Bone. It's my privilege to do with it as I please.

That so happens, I don't want to...

Oh, I hold it, hold it, hold it. Nobody's come to any harm now.

Please don't make me shoot you.

I'm living habit.

We'll give him an hour's head start and then you can be on your way.

I owe you my life, Mr. Bone. Lynch would have killed me.

It could be you thank me too soon.

You know, I still have to turn you over to law, don't you?

What for?

Well, the last I heard, grave Robin was still a crime.

You mean that coffin?

There's no corpse in that. There never has been.

Except that Lynch and the others don't know that.

That's why they won't be back.

You mean this has all been a put up job?

That's right.

They keep them from destroying an old lady.

You see, Mr. Bone, I haven't been entirely honest with you.

Colonel Cloud was my stepfather.

My mother thinks he's a hero. Why should I let her think any differently?

Does that make any sense to you?

You must begin into.

You know, the sun is scarcely up and it's already been a very long day.

Perhaps this time you'd...

Join me in that drink?

Well, this time, I'd be glad to.
