[hooves pounding]

[gun firing]

[all shouting]

[gun firing]

[crowd clamoring]

STRANGER, IT'S NOT SAFE DOWN THERE.

THERE'S A LYNCHING GOING ON.

WON'T BE THE FIRST ONE I'VE SEEN.

[all clamoring]

IT AIN'T RIGHT, MR. BAYLESS.

IT AIN'T NEVER HAPPENED IN COFFEYVILLE LIKE THAT.

[woman screaming]

THEY GOING TO LYNCH A WOMAN?

AIN'T YOU HEARD, FRIEND,

KATE MANNING MURDERED A MAN.

KATE MANNING.

[Kate screaming]

[all yelling]

GET YOUR HORSES!

[all chattering]

THANK YOU, LORD.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, FILL IN ACROSS THE ROAD.

FILL IN ACROSS THE ROAD, EVERYBODY.

COME ALONG, NOW. HURRY UP. HURRY UP.

ACROSS THE ROAD.

YOU GOING TO LET US THROUGH, FATHER?

KATE MANNING'S ENTITLED TO JUSTICE.

IF YOU STAND THERE, WE'LL RIDE YOU DOWN.

YOU HEARD HIM, LUCAS GIBBONS.

YOU CAN RIDE US DOWN,

BUT YOUR WIFE AND DAUGHTER ARE STANDING HERE WITH ME.

AND YOU, JED HOLLISTER,

YOUR LITTLE BROTHER IS HERE.

MACK DOLMAN, YOU WIFE IS HERE, TOO.

CLEM STANTON, COME ON AND RIDE DOWN

YOUR OWN SISTER IF YOU WANT.

HE'S GOT ME BLUFFED.

ME, TOO.

THAT GIRL KILLED COREY BAYLESS' SON.

SHE'LL BE STRUNG UP YET.

WHEN COREY BAYLESS WAS YOUNG,

HE HELPED TO BRING LAW AND ORDER TO THIS TOWN.

IS HE SORRY?

WELL, LET'S GO.

[men muttering]

[all chattering]

[birds chirping]

DO WE TALK NOW?

I'M JOE BRANCH.

MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

NO.

THEY SAY YOU KILLED A MAN.

THAT'S RIGHT, I KILLED A MAN.

I'D KILL ANY MAN FOR THE SAME REASON.

WELL, MAYBE SOME TIMES YOU LOOK GOOD ENOUGH

FOR A MAN TO TAKE A CHANCE ON

WHETHER YOU WOULD OR WOULDN'T.

NOW YOU DON'T.

HERE, THESE WILL BE BETTER FOR RIDIN'.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, DO YOU?

SURE, I BELIEVE YOU.

THERE ARE WOMEN WHO THINK NO MAN'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR 'EM.

I WON'T KILL YOU, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.

NOW THAT'S A CHANCE FOR ME TO TAKE, ISN'T IT?

YOU DON'T KNOW COFFEYVILLE.

COREY BAYLESS RUNS IT, LIVES IT, BREATHES IT.

HE HAS IT RIGHT IN HIS POCKET.

HE'S MADE MILLIONS THERE.

I KILLED HIS SON.

YOU DIDN'T LIKE HIS MONEY?

BAYLESS TOLD THE TOWN I SHOT FRANK

BECAUSE FRANK WOULDN'T MARRY ME.

NOW YOU'VE HEARD BOTH SIDES,

BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT.

WELL, I WAS GONNA DO THAT, ANYHOW.

WHENEVER YOU'RE READY,

TELL ME WHY YOU SAVED MY LIFE THIS MORNING.

[water trickling]

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO REST.

I WAS.

YOU'RE SAFE. I DON'T HAVE A GUN ON ME.

I GOT YOUR NAME FROM VIRGIL SPANNER.

YES?

[Joe] YOU KNEW HIM?

MY FATHER DID.

YEAH, OLD PETE MANNING.

HE USED TO RIDE WITH SPANNER IN THE OLD JAMES GANG.

DAD PAID FOR HIS MISTAKES IN JAIL.

WHEN HE GOT OUT,

HE RAN A LIVERY STABLE IN COFFEYVILLE

AND HE WAS HONEST.

ONLY THE TOWN KNEW ABOUT HIM.

THEY HELD IT AGAINST YOU TODAY, DIDN'T THEY?

MAYBE. MAYBE THEY DID.

VIRGIL SPANNER DOESN'T THINK JESSE JAMES IS DEAD.

WHY, JESSE JAMES DIED MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO.

THERE'S A MARKER ON HIS GRAVE.

SOME SAY HE'S DEAD.

BUT THERE ARE OTHERS, LIKE SPANNER.

AND IF HE IS ALIVE?

I'LL FIND HIM.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ONE OF THE FEW

THAT HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT JOE BRANCH.

ALMOST EVERYONE ELSE THINKS JESSE JAMES WAS MY FATHER.

I HAVE TO KNOW.

DAD DIED LAST YEAR.

IF HE WAS ALIVE, HE MIGHT'VE HELPED YOU.

I WASN'T LOOKIN' FOR YOUR FATHER.

I WAS LOOKIN' FOR YOU.

[Kate] WHY?

I CAN SEE NOW WHY FRANK BAYLESS

FIGURED IT WAS WORTH THE CHANCE.

WELL?

NO, THAT'S NOT THE WAY I WANT TO GET PAID OFF.

VIRGIL SPANNER THINKS YOU CAN LEAD ME TO JESSE JAMES.

I CAN?

YEAH.

BUT YOU MIGHT GET HURT. KILLED, MAYBE.

WELL, HOW CAN I HELP YOU? I--I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU TO REMEMBER A FEW THINGS.

SPANNER SAID YOU KNEW JESSE JAMES

WHEN YOU LIVED IN GALE CITY.

I WAS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD WHEN I LIVED IN GALE.

I--I DO REMEMBER.

DAD TOOK ME TO JESSE'S HIDEOUT CABIN

IN THE MOUNTAINS.

JESSE WAS A QUIET MAN,

NOT LIKE THE STORIES I'D HEARD.

DID THEY TALK ABOUT MONEY, A LOT OF MONEY?

SOMETHING ABOUT A SUITCASE.

A CARPET BAG. I DON'T REMEMBER.

THAT SOMETHING WAS $100,000,

AND ONLY 3 PEOPLE KNEW WHERE THAT MONEY WAS HIDDEN.

JAMES, AND YOUR FATHER AND YOU.

WELL, ALL I KNOW IS THAT

MY FATHER DIDN'T BRING THE SUITCASE BACK WITH HIM.

DO YOU WANT THAT MONEY?

NO.

I WANT JESSE JAMES TO STOP ME FROM TAKING IT.

JOE, STOP TRYING. JESSE JAMES IS DEAD.

IF YOUR FATHER HAD THOUGHT THAT,

HE'D HAVE GONE AFTER THAT MONEY LONG AGO.

BUT HE DIDN'T GO AFTER IT. WELL, I AM.

IF I HAVE TO RAISE SOMEONE FROM THE DEAD

TO FIND OUT WHO I AM, I'LL DO IT.

EVEN IF I COULD FIND THE SPOT AGAIN,

HOW IS JAMES SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE UP TO?

THE ONLY WAY I KNOW, THROUGH THE DALTONS.

THEY'LL KNOW WHERE TO REACH JESSE,

IF HE'S ALIVE.

THE DALTONS ARE RUNNING FROM THE LAW AGENCIES

OF 7 STATES.

DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BOTHER WITH YOU?

FOR A CUT OF A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS,

YES, THEY JUST MIGHT BE INTERESTED.

ARE YOU TRYING TO PROVE THAT YOU'RE NOT JESSE JAMES' SON OR THAT YOU ARE?

[gun fires]

[gun fires]

[Joe] TAKE A LOOK AT HIM.

NO.

HE SHOT AT YOU.

WHO IS HE?

HE LED THE LYNCHING. COREY BAYLESS' FOREMAN.

JESSE JAMES COULD KILL LIKE THAT.

YOU FEEL SORRY FOR HIM?

THEY TRIED TO LYNCH YOU ONCE.

WELL, I GET IT IN EVERY TOWN I GO TO.

NOT WITH A ROPE, MAYBE, BUT IT'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENT.

EACH SHERIFF HAS A TAP ON THE SHOULDER FOR ME.

DRIFT. DRIFT ON, JOE.

THE SON OF JESSE JAMES ISN'T WANTED IN THIS TOWN.

SO YOU HATE EVERYBODY.

READ THAT.

WHEN I WAS A KID, I WAS LEFT ON STEVE BRANCH'S FARM.

THAT WAS TIED TO ME.

WELL, THE STORY GOT OUT.

I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO RUN AWAY FROM IT.

AND WHEN YOU'VE RUN ENOUGH, YOU'LL HAVE ENOUGH HATE, TOO.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.

I'VE GOT $137.

TOMORROW, WE'LL BUY YOU A HORSE

AND START LOOKING FOR THE DALTONS.

I'VE HEARD THERE WAS SOME GOOD IN JESSE JAMES.

CAN'T YOU REMEMBER THAT, TOO?

WE GOT A LOT OF RIDIN' TO DO.

[gun firing]

[gun firing]

[guns firing]

[Joe] ANOTHER ONE.

THIS TIME AT WAGONER.

LOOKS LIKE YOU WERE RIGHT, JOE.

YOU KNOW, THE WAY IT FIGURES,

THEIR HIDEOUT MUST BE DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER

OF ALL THOSE TOWNS.

THEY NEVER GET TOO FAR FROM IT.

JOE.

HE HASN'T BEEN DEAD FOR LONG.

SOMEONE MAY STILL BE AROUND.

LOOK, THE WIRES ARE CUT.

REMEMBER THAT TRAIN ROBBERY IN McALESTER?

YEAH. JOE, THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH HERE.

YEAH.

"ARMY PAYROLL FOR ADAIR ABOARD 3:20. NOTIFY..."

HE NEVER EVEN GOT TO FINISH.

LET ME SEE.

THE NEAREST RAILROAD STATION IS MUSKOGEE.

IT'S ONLY NOON. IF WE COULD GET TO THE SHERIFF--

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO MUSKOGEE?

NO.

NEITHER HAVE I.

THEY WON'T KNOW US THERE.

JOE, BE CAREFUL.

JUST BE WHERE I TOLD YOU WITH THE HORSES,

AND DON'T BE LATE.

[train bell clanging]

THE PAYROLL'S RIDIN' WITH THE MAIL

IN THE FIRST CAR BEHIND THE ENGINE.

MAYBE THE DALTONS WILL MAKE A PLAY AT ADAIR,

MAYBE THEY WON'T.

WE'RE ALL READY, MR. DAVIS.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE MY WIFE GETS SET UP AT THE HOTEL.

YOU DONE YOUR PART BRINGIN' US THE INFORMATION.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO WITH US.

WELL, THERE'S A $5,000 REWARD FOR THE DALTONS. I'LL GO ALONG.

ALL RIGHT.

UH, IS THERE ANYBODY RIDING UP FRONT?

REGULAR RAILROAD GUARDS RIDING IN THE MAIL CAR

WHERE THE PAYROLL IS. WHY?

WELL, I WAS THINKING,

IF YOU PUT A COUPLE OF MORE MEN UP FRONT,

YOU MIGHT CATCH THE DALTONS IN A CROSSFIRE.

LOU, GO WITH MR. DAVIS.

MAYBE HE'S GOT AN IDEA.

SURE.

IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY ANY OF THAT REWARD,

YOU'D BETTER KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN.

I AIM TO.

GETTIN' CLOSE?

WE JUST PASSED WEBBERS FALLS?

YEAH.

4 OR 5 MILES.

GETTIN' HOT IN HERE.

IF YOU WANT ME, I'LL BE OUT ON THE PLATFORM.

THE SHERIFF WANTS US TO GET UP WITH THE GUARDS.

HE MUST BE GETTIN' FINICKY AS YOU.

[knocking on door]

HI, LOU.

WE GOT ORDERS TO WET NURSE YOU BOYS.

THE SHERIFF'S KINDA GETTIN' A LITTLE JUMPY BACK THERE.

DROP IT, LOU.

YOU, TOO.

I'VE SEEN YOU BEFORE. YOU'RE JOE BRANCH.

THE NAME'S DAVIS, FRIEND. HENRY DAVIS.

TURN AROUND.

[train horn blowing]

[Lou] YOU'RE CROSSIN' THE SHERIFF, THE RAILROAD, THE DALTONS.

YOU'RE GONNA BE RIGHT POPULAR, MR. DAVIS.

[train horn blowing]

ARE--ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, COME ON. MOVE.

AH!

[train horn blowing]

[train engine chugging]

YOU'RE TOO LATE, BOYS.

11:30, AND I'M USUALLY ASLEEP AT 9.

YOU DON'T SAY.

THAT DOESN'T LEAVE YOU MUCH TIME FOR BIBLE READING, DOES IT?

I READ THE BIBLE, WHEN I THINK IT'S NECESSARY, FATHER.

WHEN YOU THINK IT'S NECESSARY?

MMM-HMM.

HMM. WELL, MAYBE THE GOOD LORD FIGURES

THAT RAILROAD PRESIDENTS HAVE BETTER JUDGMENT

THAN OTHER PEOPLE. MAYBE.

WE'VE DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST 10 MILES.

WILL YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?

I WOULD, MR. RUTHERFORD, IF THIS WAS THE PROPER TIME.

AH.

WELL, WHAT'S THAT?

THE END OF OUR JOURNEY. UP HORSES.

FATHER KERRIGAN, THIS MYSTERY IS HARDLY--

[Kate] EVENING, FATHER KERRIGAN.

EVENING, MISS MANNING.

I DON'T SEE ANYONE-- MANNING!

KATE MANNING?

SHE'S AN EXCELLENT BIBLE STUDENT, MR. RUTHERFORD.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU WEREN'T BEING FOLLOWED.

YOU BROUGHT ME HERE TO MEET A WOMAN WHO--

WELL, NOW, SINCE THIS ISN'T A COURT OF LAW...

YOU'RE ALSO MEETING A TRAIN ROBBER.

YOUR TRAIN.

HE CAME ALL THE WAY FROM COFFEYVILLE TO GET OUR HELP.

I COULDN'T REFUSE HIM, NOW, COULD I?

MR. RUTHERFORD, MEET MR. BRANCH.

[Joe] BRANCH?

BRANCH!

15 YEARS AGO, YOUR FATHER ROBBED ONE OF MY TRAINS.

YOU'D BETTER LISTEN, MR. RUTHERFORD.

I WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO--

HERE'S YOUR MONEY.

IF THE DALTONS GOT IT,

YOU WOULDN'T BE GETTING IT BACK NOW.

AND A LOT OF MEN MIGHT'VE BEEN SHOT UP.

MR. BRANCH DIDN'T WANT TO OVER-TAX ST. PETER.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT OF ME?

3 THINGS.

1ST, YOU'RE TO ACT AS THOUGH THAT MONEY HASN'T BEEN RETURNED.

AND 2ND, YOU'RE TO PRINT POSTERS

OFFERING A REWARD FOR ME.

AND LAST,

YOU'RE TO GIVE ME A $10,000 REWARD.

GIVE YOU A REWARD?

YOU STOLE THE MONEY.

JOE NEEDS THAT MONEY.

FATHER KERRIGAN.

WELL, NOW, THIS IS MORE A LEGAL THAN A MORAL PROBLEM, MR. RUTHERFORD.

IF YOU CAN HELP 2 PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN WRONGED BY SOCIETY,

I'LL BE ONLY TOO HAPPY

TO SAY A FEW EXTRA GOOD WORDS FOR YOU.

HMM.

WELL, THIS IS NO PLACE FOR A PRACTICAL MAN.

I'LL GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY.

I ALREADY HAVE IT.

PLEASE TAKE ME HOME.

OF COURSE, OF COURSE.

WHAT A WONDERFUL NIGHT, MR. RUTHERFORD.

IF IT WEREN'T JULY, I'D THINK IT WAS CHRISTMAS.

GIDDUP, HORSES! GIDDUP!

ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU BOYS?

TAKE A LOOK, BILL.

HE'S GOT 'EM.

JUST COPIES OF THE ADAIR BEE.

TRUCKIN' 'EM UP FROM ADAIR TO VINITA. THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' IN IT.

SHUT UP!

HERE IT IS. BIG AS LIFE.

[Bob] READ IT.

"DALTON GANG FOILED BY LONE TRAIN ROBBER.

"THE SHERIFF AND DEPUTIES AT MUSKOGEE TODAY

"DEFINITELY I-IDENTIFIED THE MAN WHO ROBBED

"THE M., K. AND T. RAILROAD

"OF $50,000 AS JOE BRANCH.

"BRANCH, REPORTED TO BE THE SON OF JESSE JAMES,

"WAS SEEN HEADIN' TOWARDS BARTLESVILLE,

AND IS BELIEVED HIDING IN THAT VICIN-VI--"

THAT'S ENOUGH. THAT'S ENOUGH.

BARTLESVILLE WILL BE CRAWLIN' WITH THE LAW.

MIGHTY SLICK OF THAT WHIPPER-SNAPPER

FOOLIN' THEM DALTONS, HUH?

GRAT!

HEAVENS TO BETSY, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT...

LET IT GO. THIS'LL PAY FOR THE APPLE.

NOW, MOVE. MOVE!

MOVE!

[horses neighing]

WHAT GOOD WOULD THAT HAVE DONE US?

I'M SORE. $50,000--

YOU'LL GET YOUR CHANCE WITH THE RIGHT MAN.

BY RIDING HARD WE CAN MAKE BARTLESVILLE BY TONIGHT.

[knocking]

KATE?

[Kate] YES.

IT'S IN THE PAPER. EVERYTHING.

JUST THE WAY YOU ASKED FATHER KERRIGAN TO DO IT.

HE'LL MAKE A CHURCH MAN OUT OF ME YET.

IT WON'T TAKE THE DALTONS LONG TO GET TO BARTLESVILLE.

WHAT IF THEY WON'T LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY?

JOE, WHAT IF THEY WON'T LISTEN--

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO, SAY THEY'LL KILL ME?

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT? THEY WILL.

I'LL BE BACK IN A FEW MINUTES.

AS SOON AS I LET THAT BARTENDER KNOW WHERE I AM.

HELP YOURSELF.

I'LL TAKE A FULL BOTTLE WITH ME.

$3.

[whistles]

$500.

AIN'T SEEN MANY OF THESE.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I CAN CHANGE THIS FOR YOU OR NOT.

I'M STAYING AT THE HOTEL. THEY COULDN'T BREAK IT.

WELL, SEE WHAT I CAN DO, NEIGHBOR.

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY, MISTER.

THE KIND THAT DRINK ALONE.

THEY DON'T TALK MUCH.

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

[knocking]

THE DALTONS WILL GO IN THERE.

IT'S THE ONLY SALOON IN TOWN.

ALL WE CAN DO NOW IS WAIT.

YEAH, WAIT.

IT COULD BE TONIGHT, TOMORROW.

ANY TIME.

JUST TO FIND A MAN WHO MIGHT BE DEAD.

GO TO YOUR ROOM AND GET SOME SLEEP.

[hooves pounding]

YEAH, IT'S QUIET ENOUGH.

MAYBE THE LAW GOT BRANCH ALREADY.

AND MAYBE HE NEVER CAME TO THIS TOWN AT ALL.

HE'LL LEAVE TRACKS SOMEPLACE.

COME ON.

[horse neighing]

JOE!

A COUPLE OF RIDERS DOWN THERE.

COULD BE THEM, MAYBE NOT.

I CAN'T WAIT IN THAT ROOM BY MYSELF.

ALL RIGHT, KATE. SIT DOWN OVER THERE.

OH, I READ IN THE PAPER ABOUT THAT JOE BRANCH.

THEY GET HIM YET?

NO, HE'S HOLED UP GOOD.

THEY SAY HE HEADED TOWARDS BARTLESVILLE.

I AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN'.

IT WAS PRETTY SMART, THE WAY HE BEAT THE DALTONS

TO THAT ARMY PAYROLL.

YEAH.

HEY, IT'S GOOD WHISKEY.

WE AIM TO PLEASE.

YOU STRANGERS HERE?

MMM-HMM.

THERE'S ROOMS AT THE HOTEL. THEY AIN'T FILLED UP.

THANKS, FRIEND.

YEAH, THINGS IS PRETTY DULL AROUND HERE.

OH, EXCEPT FOR THAT FELLOW WHO'D COME IN

AND PAID FOR A BOTTLE WITH A $500 BILL.

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY IN ONE HAND.

I SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM TO TAKE HIS BUSINESS ELSEWHERE

ONLY--ONLY THERE AIN'T NO OTHER ELSEWHERE IN BARTLESVILLE

500, HUH?

NOW THERE'S A HAND FOR POKER. TOO BAD WE MISSED HIM.

OH, YOU--YOU DIDN'T MISS HIM, BOYS.

HIM AND HIS MONEY'S AT THE HOTEL.

MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT UP THERE.

YEAH.

THANKS, FRIEND.

LIKE I SAID, WE AIMS TO PLEASE.

AH, NICE FELLAS.

ITCHIN', AREN'T YOU?

YEAH. WHEN I ITCH, I GOT TO SCRATCH.

JUST MAKE SURE IT'S HIM FIRST.

[horse snorting]

[keys dropping]

[blowing]

NOW WHICH ONE IS IT?

[whispering] DOWN AT THE END OF THE HALL.

OPEN IT.

OPEN IT.

MY FINGERS DON'T SEEM TO--

[whispering] PLEASE, GENTLEMEN, NO TROUBLE.

HOLD IT!

[gun dropping]

MY GUN WENT OFF BY MISTAKE. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

GET THEIR GUNS, KATE.

I'M GOING TO GUESS WHO YOU ARE.

YOU WERE READY. YOU EXPECTED SOMEONE.

IF YOU'RE THE DALTONS, YOU'RE RIGHT.

I AM BOB DALTON. THIS IS GRAT.

IT WAS A QUESTION OF WHETHER YOU GET HERE FIRST OR THE LAW.

I DID PLENTY OF ADVERTISING.

HE'S CRAZY. HE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

[Joe] WHICH ONE OF YOU RUNS THINGS?

I DO.

WELL, TELL HIM TO KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT.

WHY YOU-- I COULD BLAST YOUR HEAD OFF.

DO LIKE HE SAYS, GRAT.

WHERE'S THE REST OF THE GANG?

OUTSIDE OF TOWN.

THEY'RE WAITIN' FOR MY BROTHER AND ME. YOU WON'T GET FAR.

THEY WON'T HAVE LONG TO WAIT. I'M TAKING YOU THERE NOW.

MAYBE YOU ARE CRAZY.

GET THE BAG, KATE.

THAT YOUR WIFE?

I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP! SURE.

YOU WON'T BE HOLDING THAT GUN FOREVER.

IF YOU WANT ANY OF THAT MONEY YOU CAME AFTER,

YOU BETTER KEEP YOUR MEN AWAY FROM ME AND MY WIFE.

YOU GOING TO SPLIT WITH US?

MAYBE.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER.

LET'S GET GOIN'.

AND REMEMBER, I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

I TOLD THEM YOU DROPPED YOUR GUN, AND IT WENT OFF.

OH, YEAH. IT WAS LUCKY NOBODY WAS HURT.

UH, YOU'LL FIND THE ROOM MONEY ON THE DESK INSIDE.

MY FRIENDS HERE WANT US TO STAY WITH THEM.

OH, YES. FINE. YES, INDEED.

I--I HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR STAY.

[insects chirping]

BILL, AIN'T YOU THROUGH POLISHIN' THAT THING YET?

HUMAN BEING'S GOT A RIGHT TO DIE FANCY, EMMETT.

THERE AIN'T A FANCIER GUN IN THE COUNTRY.

YEAH.

ALMOST A PLEASURE TO GET SHOT WITH IT, HUH?

[horses approaching]

JOE BRANCH.

[Grat] HE SAYS THE GIRL'S HIS WIFE.

PUT IT DOWN.

I DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE WITH YOU MEN.

I COULD HAVE KILLED THESE 2 BEFORE, BUT I DIDN'T.

HE HAS THE 50,000.

ALL RIGHT, GET DOWN.

I'M HERE TO TALK BUSINESS.

I'M GOING TO SPLIT THAT MONEY WITH YOU,

AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE THERE'S 100,000 MORE.

WE'LL HEAR HIM OUT.

ALL RIGHT.

I MADE SURE YOU'D FIND US,

'CAUSE WE COULDN'T GET THAT 100,000 WITHOUT YOU.

AND YOU COULDN'T GET ANY PART OF IT WITHOUT US.

WHAT DO WE HAVE THAT YOU NEED?

JESSE JAMES HID THAT MONEY.

IF HE'S ALIVE, YOU CAN REACH HIM.

WHERE IS THE MONEY?

SOMEWHERE IN THE MOUNTAINS BETWEEN GALE AND COFFEYVILLE.

COFFEYVILLE?

YOU KNOW THAT TOWN PRETTY WELL?

I LIVED THERE.

WELL, THAT'S VERY CONVENIENT.

FOR COFFEYVILLE, WE WON'T NEED BRANCH AT ALL, JUST THE GIRL.

AND YOU WOULDN'T MISS NOT HAVING HIM AROUND, WOULD YOU, KID?

HOLD IT!

THAT'S 2 YOU GOT COMIN'.

GRAT! GRAT!

THAT WASN'T SMART.

I TOLD YOU TO KEEP HIM AWAY FROM MY WIFE.

WHERE IS THE TRAIN MONEY, BRANCH?

THERE'S 10,000.

10?

I'LL SPLIT THE REST WITH YOU LATER,

WHEN KATE AND I GET WHAT WE WANT.

YOU DON'T TAKE MANY CHANCES, DO YOU?

NOT ANY I CAN'T HANDLE.

WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT IN COFFEYVILLE?

FORGET COFFEYVILLE. IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

NOW LOOK, DALTON, I'M IN THIS DEAL ALL THE WAY OR THERE'S NO DEAL.

NOW, DO YOU WANT IT OR DON'T YOU?

LET'S GET ON WITH IT, BOB.

HE CAN'T BOTHER US ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

COFFEYVILLE HAS A RICH BANK. WE'VE BEEN THINKIN' ABOUT IT.

RICHER THAN $100,000?

MAYBE NOT. THEN LET IT WAIT.

ANYBODY SAID WE SHOULDN'T?

THE BANK'LL STILL BE THERE.

YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER.

NOT ALL OF IT.

YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME HOW I REACH JESSE JAMES.

WE'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT KNOW WHERE HIS BROTHER FRANK IS.

IF JESSE'S ALIVE, FRANK'LL LET US KNOW

WHERE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM. GILKIE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT HIM TO TELL FRANK?

TELL HIM THAT PETE MANNING'S DAUGHTER

WANTS TO SEE HIM.

TELL HIM THAT JESSE JAMES IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN HELP HER.

HAVE HIM MEET US AT JESSE'S OLD HIDEOUT CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS.

GOT IT? I GOT IT.

THEN BREAK UP CAMP.

WE GOT A LOT OF RIDING TO DO.

NOW, IF YOU'RE THE BOSS AS YOU SAY YOU ARE,

YOU BETTER HAVE SOME BRAINS FOR YOUR BROTHER, GRAT, TOO.

HE'S A GOOD MAN WITH A GUN.

YOU'VE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR. DON'T PRESS HIM.

IF HE BOTHERS KATE, I'LL KILL HIM.

MAYBE I CAN MAKE HIM SEE THAT $100,000

IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN A WOMAN.

[horse nickering]

JOE.

I'M AFRAID.

YOU ALMOST GOT LYNCHED IN COFFEYVILLE,

THIS SHOULDN'T BOTHER YOU.

[crickets chirping]

IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, THAT'S THE CABIN.

COME ON. COME ON.

[Bob] GRAT, EMMETT, YOU STAY HERE WITH ME.

BILL, STAKE OUT THE BOYS.

MAYBE JESSE WAS NEVER HERE.

WE SHOULD HAVE GOT THAT BANK IN COFFEYVILLE AND KEPT MOVIN'.

WE'LL BE MOVIN' SOON ENOUGH.

LOOK AFTER THE HORSES, EMMETT.

[door creaking]

WELL, PICK YOURSELF A BUNK.

I'LL TRY AND CLEAN UP A LITTLE BIT.

SURE. MAKE IT RIGHT COMFORTABLE.

IT'LL BE LIKE YOU BELONG TO ALL OF US.

GRAT! NOW LOOK, WE'RE IN A STRANGE TERRITORY.

WE DON'T KNOW WHO COULD BE AROUND.

GUNSHOTS COULD BRING 'EM LOOKIN'.

NOW JUST REMEMBER THAT, BOTH OF YOU.

NOW GO GET SOME WOOD. IT'LL BE COLD IN HERE TONIGHT.

GO ON.

WELL, IT'LL SHARPEN UP REAL NICE.

DON'T YOU WORRY, JOE, YOU AIN'T NO TURKEY.

[chuckling]

BRANCH.

THIS SHOULD INTEREST YOU.

I'D SAY JESSE SAT RIGHT THERE ONCE,

GIVIN' THAT A LOT OF THOUGHT.

EVERYBODY KNOWS BOB FORD TOOK THE GOVERNOR'S OFFER,

SHOT JESSE AND WAS PARDONED.

YET, YOU THINK JESSE IS ALIVE.

SOME SAY JESSE WASN'T SHOT,

THAT THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE IN HIS GRAVE.

NOBODY COULD EVER PROVE THAT.

THEY WILL, IF HE WALKS THROUGH THAT DOOR.

IT'D BE LIKE SEEIN' A GHOST.

[door creaks]

WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKIN' AT?

ONE OF THE BOYS SPOTTED HIM FROM THE HILLS, SO I RODE HIM IN.

DID YOU SEE FRANK JAMES?

I SAW HIM. SOMEONE WILL COME, ALL RIGHT.

HE WOULDN'T TELL ME WHO.

WELL, JESSE ISN'T COMIN'?

MAYBE. I DON'T KNOW.

FRANK SAID I SHOULD GO BACK ALONE.

WELL, WHEN WILL SOMEONE GET HERE?

I TOLD YOU ALL I KNOW.

IF IT ISN'T JESSE...

WE'LL SEE.

JOE, GET SOME MORE WOOD.

MAYBE I CAN COOK UP SOME OF THAT DRIED BEEF FOR BREAKFAST.

YEAH, I'LL GET THE WOOD.

THE BOYS THINK I WENT AFTER WOOD, TOO.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SCARED OF ME.

GRAT, LET ME PASS.

MAYBE WE COULD DO A LITTLE TALKIN'.

JOE DOESN'T HAVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING YOU TALK ABOUT.

GRAT!

[Kate screaming]

[Joe] GRAT!

I'M GOING TO GET YOU THIS TIME, GRAT.

[Joe grunting]

[grunts]

NOW, GRAT!

[water bubbling]

JOE! JOE!

STOP IT, JOE!

STOP IT, JOE!

[panting]

[footsteps approaching]

HE'S COMIN'. I SEEN HIM WITH MY OWN EYES.

YOU THINK IT WAS JESSE?

HE WAS RIDIN' TALL AND STRAIGHT IN THE SADDLE.

A REAL PROUD MAN.

I WOULDN'T KNOW HIM.

I WAS JUST A KID WHEN HE CAME TO OUR FARM.

[horse nickering]

FRANK SAID YOU'D ALL BE HERE.

YOU MUST BE KATE MANNING.

JESSE?

WHICH DALTON ARE YOU?

I'M NOT A DALTON. MY NAME IS JOE BRANCH.

SO...

WHO ARE YOU? IF YOU'RE JESSE, SAY SO.

MY NAME IS BOB FORD.

BOB FORD? THE FORD THAT SHOT JESSE?

THEN HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

THE MESSAGE SAID THAT PETE MANNING'S DAUGHTER NEEDED JESSE'S HELP.

IF YOU SHOT JESSE, FRANK JAMES ISN'T GOING TO SEND YOU.

HEAR HIM OUT, JOE.

YOU SAID YOU WERE SMART. YOU LISTENED TO HIM.

WELL, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS!

MONEY?

JESSE HID $100,00 AROUND HERE. WE WANT IT.

YOU'RE RIGHT. HE DID.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE IT.

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHERE HE HID IT?

BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THERE'S A MOMENT

OF JESSE JAMES' LIFE THAT I HAVEN'T LIVED

AND LIVED OVER AGAIN.

TALK! TALK! I'M SICK OF TALK. GET THE MONEY!

ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S MY BUNK.

I WAS SLEEPIN' THERE.

IF YOU HAD ANY REAL NOSE FOR MONEY, YOU'D HAVE SMELLED IT.

LOOK! CONFEDERATE MONEY!

JUST GREEN PAPER.

IT AIN'T WORTH A CENT!

I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU IF YOU'D LET ME TALK.

WHAT KIND OF A JOKE IS THIS?

IT WAS MONEY THAT WAS PUT AWAY BY JESSE

WHEN HE WAS RIDING WITH QUANTRELL DURING THE WAR.

THAT'S WHY HE NEVER CAME BACK FOR IT.

WHY, YOU...

[Kate] JOE!

THERE'S WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR,

A HANDFUL OF AIR!

COFFEYVILLE HAS REAL MONEY.

THERE'S 2 BANKS AND WE CAN GET BOTH OF 'EM.

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MEN.

WE GOT SOMETHING BETTER.

YOU SAY YOU LIVED IN COFFEYVILLE.

YOU KNOW THOSE BANKS.

YOU'RE GOING TO SHOW US HOW THEY'RE LAID OUT

SO WE DON'T MAKE ANY WASTED MOVES.

WITH WHAT SHE TELLS US, WE DON'T NEED SO MANY MEN.

YOU MEAN, YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE HER WITH US?

I ALMOST GOT KILLED FIGHTIN' FOR HER.

IF YOU KILL HIM, I WON'T TELL YOU ANYTHING.

YOU GOT THE GIRL. THAT'S ENOUGH.

TIE HIM UP.

COME AROUND. I'LL GET YOUR HANDS.

ANY IDEA WHERE THEY WENT?

I'D GUESS COFFEYVILLE.

THEY GOT KATE WITH 'EM.

YOU CAN'T BE ONE OF THEM.

NO, I'M NOT.

I THOUGHT I COULD FIND JESSE THROUGH THE DALTONS.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO FIND HIM?

I'VE BEEN CRUCIFIED ALL MY LIFE

BECAUSE THEY SAID I'M JESSE'S SON.

I GOTTA KNOW.

I CAN TELL YOU.

ABOUT THE TIME JESSE HID THAT MONEY,

YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER WERE KILLED BY QUANTRELL'S RAIDERS.

JESSE FOUND THEIR BABY, TOOK IT

AND LEFT IT WITH A FAMILY NAMED BRANCH.

I'VE BEEN TAKING A BEATING ALL MY LIFE BECAUSE OF THAT, HUH?

JOE, I'VE TAKEN A BEATING MYSELF FOR OVER 10 YEARS

BECAUSE JESSE IS MY FRIEND.

YOU SAID JESSE "IS" YOUR FRIEND.

THEY WROTE A SONG,

CALLED ME A TRAITOR WHO SHOT JESSE IN THE BACK.

THEY DIDN'T BURY JESSE.

IT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE.

TO THE WORLD, HE IS DEAD.

MAYBE IT'S THE SAME THING. I DON'T KNOW.

I'M GOING TO COFFEYVILLE.

YOU'LL BE TOO LATE.

I MIGHT BE ABLE TO BEAT 'EM THERE. I DON'T KNOW.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.

I'VE COME THIS FAR.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN A TRAIN'LL BE ALONG?

I HAD A CHANCE TO LEARN SOMETHING

ABOUT THE SCHEDULES ON THIS LINE NOT TOO LONG AGO.

THAT'S RIGHT. I READ ABOUT IT IN THE PAPERS.

[train horn blowing]

IT'LL STOP FOR WATER HERE.

NOW WAIT'LL IT STARTS MOVING AGAIN BEFORE GETTING ON.

I KNOW. I'VE BOARDED A FEW LIKE THIS IN MY DAY.

[train engine chugging]

[train brakes squealing]

[metallic clanging]

[train horn blaring]

MR. BAYLESS. MR. BAYLESS.

UH, YOU, UH, DIDN'T GIVE ME YOUR DECISION.

DO YOU WANT ME TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT FOR THE DAIRYMEN?

IT'S YOUR BANK.

WE DON'T WANT TO OFFEND YOU, MR. BAYLESS.

I'LL BE BACK SHORTLY. I'LL LET YOU KNOW THEN.

GET GOING, COLLINS.

STILL KOWTOWIN' TO THE OLD BUZZARD, EH?

THIS IS HIS TOWN.

SINCE HE OWNS 70% OF MY BANK'S ASSETS,

I CAN'T FORGET IT.

[horse snorting]

YOU SAY THE TOWN'S NOT MORE THAN A HALF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD.

AROUND THE BEND.

I TELL YOU, I CAN'T GO IN THERE. I'LL BE RECOGNIZED.

PUT THAT HAT ON.

PUT IT ON.

NOW PUT YOUR HAIR UP UNDER IT.

NOW NOBODY'LL KNOW YOU'RE A WOMAN.

JUST ME, AND THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS.

YOU'LL DO.

[train bell clanging]

HE'S GOING TO COOK A CHICKEN.

AH, SMALL BOYS ARE SO HELPFUL.

DURING MY PRAYERS, TOMMY HEARS ME SAY: "LORD, GIVE ME THE STRENGTH."
