"(male) lt's you." "I heard they let you out." "I was glad when I heard." "I never thought you was guilty in the first place." "You can asked anybody." "She's resting fine now." "It was scarlet fever, just about one month ago." "If they had let you out a few weeks sooner." "You ain't planning on staying around here, are you?" "You'd be welcome back, of course." "I was only thinking of you and memories." "Hey Mister, we sure are glad to see ya." "We got ourselves robbed." "They took everything they could carry off, including our team." "They haven't been gone long." "You can catch up to them pretty easy." "Chasin' down armed men ain't ever easy, sorry." "They stole nearly everything we have." "Now if you help us out here, I'll see to it you get a reward for it." "I make it a rule never to get tangled in other people's problems." "It never pays off." "Mister, I'm in a tight spot here." "I got business in placerville." "Here's some water and somebody will be along in a bit." "(female) Well, you're not much better than those outlaws were," "leaving us out here like this." "What makes you think I'm not an outlaw myself, ma'am?" "Let's go." "(bartender) Did you leave any of that road outside in the street?" "(male) You know anybody around here by the name of" "Hobbs!" "DoubIe-deaIing dog, Hobbs!" "This just ain't your lucky day now, is it?" "It ain't yours either." "Put it down." "Put it down." "well, now there's a man who ain't afraid to do what's right." "Mister, what you doing this for anyway?" "Oh, we just gonna talk a bit." "If all you want is to talk, we can gob back to that card house in town and talk like civilized men." "Hey!" "Where's the gold?" "gold?" "Four years ago, you, WiIIet and the rest of your gang robbed a payroll train." "Got away with a hundred thousand dollars in gold, and I want it and I want it now." "The fact is we never got that gold off the train." "Starting to get nervous, Hobbs." "(Hobbs) Wait a minute, we never could have got all that gold off the train, got away with half the U.S. Army chasing us." "We got a guy on the train named floyd Jackson." "Jackson took the gold off the train in Sacramento and hid it." "I'm really twitching' now." "I swear I ain't lyin', Mister." "Here, reach in my vest pocket." "Go on." "Go ahead." "That's a map to where it's hid." "That's a half a map." "That's right." "Ain't no good without the other half." "Jackson figured if he led us to the gold straightaway, we could have killed him and his wife, so we made up that map, and he gave the other half to his brother Dwight for insurance." "He was so mad, he shot him anyhow." "I didn't like what was going on, so I took that map and I lit out with it." "Where's Dwight Jackson now?" "He's been hiding out the Iast 3 years like me." "He got ahold of me and said we was gonna meet the fourth of july." "Said we'd put them maps together and split the gold and that way nobody'd get killed." "WiIIet already spoiled that plan." "We was to meet in a little mining town up in the mountains, name of fairplay." "AII right, Hobbs." "You and me's gonna go to FairpIay, and I'm gonna show you to Jackson." "But I want you to remember something real good, it don't make much difference to me whether he sees you breathing or not." "Ain't there a road to this town?" "(Hobbs) Sure is, a good one, but what if Jackson's sitting beside it with a Sharps rifle?" "I thought you two were friends?" "With a hundred thousand dollars, you can afford new friends." "How is it you come to know so much about the robbery in the first place?" "There was a fifth man with you." "That's right." "little Jamie, he got himself all shot up and killed when he tried to double back and surprise the payroll guards." "Yeah, well I came on him before he died, tried to help him, but he was too far gone." "But before he kicked he talked to me." "He led me to WiIIet and WiIIet led me to you, Hobbs." "helping Jamie the way you done, folks could have got the idea you was in on it too." "several people did." "You went to prison for that?" "Mister, you are one unlucky man." "[gun fires]" "(male) Mister, you may be fast, but you ain't that fast." "I don't like people pointing guns at me, Mister." "Not particularly fond of it myself." "(male) Let's get the money from Hobbs and get out of here." "Mister, what happened to you?" "Horse threw me." "I heard a gunshot." "Yeah, well, I was trying to get somebody's attention." "Looked like it worked, huh?" "You're under arrest." "What, there's a law against getting thrown by your horse?" "No, there's a law against holding folks up on the highway." "Somebody robbed a freight wagon outside PIacerviIIe yesterday." "You look like you might just be somebody." "Nothing quite like the sound of iron bars closing behind a man, but I expect you heard it before." "I don't expect me being innocent's gonna affect my sentence any, huh?" "What's your business, Mister?" "Kincaid, Jake Kincaid." "Ranch work when I can get it." "up in these here mountains." "Oh, I had a place around Grass valley." "Take a little holiday." "Heard y'aII have a pretty good fourth of july celebration here." "What were you doing up on Sawtooth instead of coming in on the main road?" "I guess I took a wrong turn." "I guess you did." "Oh Emma, I was just gonna come see you." "Sam told me you had one of the robbers here." "Did he have my money on him?" "(male) Oh, not two bits." "Says he didn't do it." "You recognize him?" "I sure do, and he's a lowdown, dirty skunk." "He's just not the lowdown, dirty skunk that robbed us." "He was there all right, too busy with his own concerns to help us out though." "well, can I go now?" "Not just yet." "She said I'm innocent." "What more do you want?" "She said you didn't rob her." "That doesn't mean you're innocent." "I'II look into that myself." "(Emma) Talbert came by last night, made me another offer on my land, happened to hear I was short on cash." "Turned him down flat, of course." "Don't you think it's a little suspicious that he knows about the robbery almost before you do." "I don't have any proof, Emma." "Pretty convenient for him I'm robbed just now." "Why don't you sell TaIbert your place?" "What?" "sell him your place." "Emma, TaIbert's a bad man." "He's used to getting his own way, and I can't watch over you day and night." "Nobody's asking you to, Bob." "I'm not going to sell, and if TaIbert gets that deed to my land, it will be over my dead body." "Emma, that's what I'm trying to prevent!" "well, we're doing the best we can." "well, your best ain't adding' up to spit." "Now listen up, I don't want any more funny business" "like we had the other day." "Now you two water heads better find a way to persuade" "Emma wilson to sell out or you're out of a job." "Sheriff Logan" "Sheriff Logan is in my pocket." "Now I want that deed in my hand by the end of the week, or I may just have you arrested myself." "Now get out of my sight!" "Morning, sheriff." "Oh, JW, Mary Ann." "Haven't you had that baby yet?" "well, this baby's gonna be as stubborn as his father is." "He's just gonna do things in his own time." "Oh, don't you be too tough on JW." "I mean, he moves at his own pace, but he does the smart thing in the end." "He married you, didn't he?" "Sheriff, I heard about that freight wagon getting robbed." "Did the fella you brought in do it?" "I'm looking into it, JW." "Now sheriff, if you need any help, or if I can do any" "(Sheriff) JW, JW, I fired you so that you can spend more time with this family you're building here, so you can take a more sensible job rather than out on the trail eating dust with me." "AII right." "You two go on." "Gents, haven't seen you around before." "Is there a law against being new in town, sheriff?" "No, I just like to know the comings and goings of my town." "Your town?" "TaIbert owns this town, everybody knows that." "Maybe but this badge and the jail that goes with it belong to me." "I'm Griggs." "This here's Bickford." "Like it says there, we're in the employ of the Talbert Lumber Company." "Since it's the Talbert Lumber Company that feeds the horse in this one-horse town, that makes us important people." "That's right." "well, where were you two important people yesterday afternoon?" "TaIbert at the mill." "Doing what?" "He hired us to manage the whole operation." "You two don't like bright enough to manage an empty outhouse." "You can't talk to us like that." "Sit down and shut up." "Now let me teII-- [groaning in pain] Ow, ow, ow." "[laughing]" "(Griggs) Come on back when you can stay a while!" "(male) Why bother to come see me when you won't take my advice?" "I keep waiting for your advice to improve." "It won't." "You know, that bullet in your chest is starting to move." "A smarter doctor-- a younger doctor might be able to get to it, but if I tried with these hands," "I'm liable to finish what Quinn started." "You need a surgeon, not a sawbones." "I can't leave town right now." "people would understand." "They're your friends." "Emma wilson would." "Don't you say a word to Emma or anybody else." "well, if that chunk of lead gets loose and travels to your heart, people are gonna find out soon enough." "I'II think about it." "Don't take too long, Bob!" "(Kincaid) I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I can't--I'm sorry." "I can't--l'm sorry." "(Sheriff) Kincaid!" "Kincaid, I just got a wire back on you." "Says here you served four years in the territorial prison." "And since you're not wanted for anything at the moment, you can go." "How about my gun?" "I'II hang on to that 'tiI you leave town." "Anybody show up with my horse?" "Check with Luther in the livery." "Maybe he knows something." "Kincaid, maybe Luther has a horse you can have cheap, 'cause I know that you're real anxious to get back on your way, aren't ya?" "(female) Most folks know better than to try and cross a street when Asa WandeI's delivering the mail." "You must be new here." "Yeah, I must be." "well, welcome to FairpIay." "Sure hope you Iike our town." "Name your poison." "Whiskey." "I couldn't help notice you're not from around these parts." "By gosh, aren't you the man that Bob Logan brought into town in front of a gun this morning?" "Just 'tween us, what'd you do?" "Come here, just between us, murder." "See, I killed a nosey bartender in placerville." "Hey, no offense, stranger." "I'm just naturally curious." "I Iike to talk to people." "It comes with the job." "I Iike to talk to people." "It comes with the job." "What?" "What is it?" "What?" "You, what are you doing here?" "A horse threw me, I thought somebody might have showed up here with it." "No, no, and I don't know why you think I'd lift a finger to help even if he did." "Those bandits ran off with my spectacles yesterday." "Now that I get a better look, where do you come from, Mister?" "Around, places." "places like ShiIoh?" "Gettysburg?" "Jake Kincaid." "Jake Kincaid is who you are." "I knew I knew you from the war." "It was Major Kincaid then." "That was a Iong time ago." "( male) It was a Iong time ago." "There's times it seems like it was just yesterday." "Luther Hanks, I served under you in the 101 st" "Georgia regulars, but you wouldn't have any reason to remember me." "well, you feel I don't?" "As I recall, you were the worst shot, Hanks." "A gunnery sergeant at that." "Major, my eyes got so bad, I got to where I couldn't tell the front side of a blue uniform from the backside of a gray one." "Y'aII made me the company blacksmith and that was before I couId do any real damage." "We nearly whooped 'em, though, didn't we, Major?" "That we almost did, Hanks." "Up until Gettysburg." "That wasn't your fault, you had your orders." "I wouldn't say this to anybody north of the Mason Dixon line, but general Lee was out of general that day, simple as that." "He flat made a mistake giving that order." "And I made a bigger one following it." "well, truth is, Hanks, I'm a little down on my luck right now." "What I couId use is a job." "I'd do anything around this livery you need me to do." "Job's not mine to give." "I just work here myself." "Who do I talk to then?" "well, Major." "Hear you own the livery." "That's right." "well, Luther Hanks looks like he can use some help over there, and I can sure use a job." "I was robbed yesterday, remember?" "I don't have the money to hire any help." "well, maybe we can make us a trade for some supplies, use of a horse." "Mister, I've made it a rule to never get myself tangled up in other people's troubles." "It just never seems to pay off." "hold on." "I guess it's not very Christian like of me to turn down a man looking for good, honest work if you're willing to work in exchange of the trade of a mule." "mule?" "Take it or leave it." "I'II take it." "In that case, I think I have the perfect job for you." "Forgot to tell you she has a sense of humor." "Yeah, I can't stop laughing." "I can't stand to watch this even with my eyesight." "I'm going over to the saloon, see if anybody needs me." "Hey boy, watch our horse and see they get some water." "Yeah sure." "In case anybody asks, who do I say they belong to?" "Mr. Griggs and Mr. Bickford." "Do a good job and I'II see that you get an extra nickel." "That was a good one, Griggs." "Thanks, Emma." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Ma'am, you owe the TaIbert Lumber Company $1 75 for lumber." "TaIbert sent us to collect." "TaIbert knows I don't have that kind of cash." "I'd have to draft a bank note to get that kind of cash." "TaIbert was real clear was on that, cash." "well, I don't have the cash, so you'II just have to take back the lumber." "We don't want the lumber." "We got a saw mill." "We got all the lumber we need." "Looks like we got ourselves a little problem here, now don't we?" "Must be something on these shelves worth a few dollars, huh, Bickford?" "Don't do that." "Maybe next time you'II think twice before you order lumber you can't pay for." "Ow!" "How about that keg of molasses over there?" "How about a couple sacks of flour?" "That's a good idea, I'm partial to biscuits and gravy." "That's a good idea, I'm partial to biscuits and gravy." "Yeah, maybe you should cook me up some biscuits and gravy, huh, sweety?" "Yeah." "Leave her be." "You best get back to the manure pile, sodbuster, before I blast you back there." "(Kincaid) You boys better get on your horses and get on out of here." "Are you stupid?" "I'm holding a gun." "Griggs is a dangerous man." "He's killed many a fool such as yourself." "Now you best tuck your tail and get." "What's going on in here?" "We were going about our business when this crazy sodbuster came in." "Broke a frying pan over Griggs' head." "AII right, what happened in here?" "These two are working for TaIbert and decided to take it out on my store, and this one came in." "AII right, you two, come on." "You mean to arrest us?" "Yes, I do." "(Bickford) Well, what about him?" "Not just yet." "Now get up, Iet's go." "Come on!" "(Emma) Well, I thought you didn't believe in getting yourself tangled up in other people's troubles." "I guess I act sometimes before my good sense catches up to me." "well, I best get back to my perfect job." "Mister, you just helped me out here and I don't even know your name." "Kincaid." "well, Mr. Kincaid, looks like I'm gonna need an extra hand around here after all, that is if you're willing to trade for supplies." "Yes, ma'am." "I'd be interested in that." "Thank you." "still need that horse, Mr. Kincaid?" "Yes, ma'am, until mine shows up." "well, I had a building that was burnt down a while back and I was thinking about having it rebuilt." "What kind of carpenter are ya?" "well, I can hit a nail, yeah." "Like I said, I don't have any money, but I can trade you for some more supplies, maybe a new set of clothes." "It looks like you could use 'em." "Do we have a deal?" "We got a deal." "You do understand this is strictly business, don't you?" "Oh, yes, ma'am, this is strictly business, yeah." "Pretty nice shirt you're wearing, Major." "Miss Emma give you that?" "Yeah." "(Hanks) I always knew she was generous, but a shirt like that?" "It's just a shirt, Hanks." "Just a shirt." "That's charlie Coats." "Her given name's CharIene, but that don't seem to fit." "You know, her daddy used to beat on her and her mama, then he run off last year, that was the best thing that could have happened." "Your yelling must have brought back some bad memories." "Might be good if you was to go talk to her." "I got work to do, Hanks." "well, Mr. TaIbert, what can I do for you?" "Logan, how long you intend keeping my men in jail?" "'TiI somebody pay for the damages to Emma's store." "well, it ain't gonna be me." "The woman owes me money." "Fine, it's not my dispute to settle." "Have her add up the damages and I'II deduct it from her bill." "AII right." "Mr. TaIbert, Emma's had a mighty bad streak of luck here lately." "You know anything about her freight wagon being robbed the other day?" "Now are you accusing me of something, sheriff?" "No, sir, I'm just asking questions." "well, you know as mayor, I can have another man wearing that badge by the end of the week." "Now are you gonna let Griggs and Bickford out?" "Or am I gonna have to take that badge?" "Now get on." "Let's go." "Go on!" "TaIbert, if I catch any of your men roughing up Emma again," "I'II take off this badge and I'II ram it straight down your throat." "straight down your throat." "(female) Good afternoon, Mr. Kincaid." "I heard what you did for Emma wilson yesterday." "I had a feeling about you." "A feeling?" "I had a feeling you'd fit right in here." "FairpIay needs good people." "well." "Do you sing?" "Huh?" "well, the church choir needs another male to sing bass." "MatiIda Grant's been singing bass, but it really should be a man." "You got a nice deep voice." "well, ma'am, I don't" "Anyway, these are for you." "It's some boiled sweets I made." "Horehound and sassafras, a sort of welcome to town gift." "Now you enjoy 'em and we'II see ya in church on Sunday." "Come on Lizzy." "well, you feel I can be trusted?" "No, I figure it's time you leave town." "Can't do that, sheriff, I got me a job here." "Why are you here, Kincaid?" "I gotta meet somebody." "Who?" "Can't tell you that." "(Sheriff) Why not?" "Oh, I don't know, sheriff." "I guess I just like being mysterious." "I owe you for helping out Emma the way you did, but that only goes so far." "At the first sign of trouble, you're goin' back in jail." "Sheriff, trouble's the Iast thing in the world I want." "Why you IittIe-- hey, hey, come here." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Come here." "Why you chucking' rocks at me?" "I don't like you." "You don't even know me." "I know you yelled at me yesterday when I all I was trying to do was help out." "Now I wasn't yelling at ya." "AII right, I raised my voice a little bit." "Look, I couId sure use some help today." "I got better things to do." "Like breaking' windows?" "Yeah, I saw you." "Got a pretty good arm on ya for a girl." "What do you mean for a girl?" "I can whip any boy my age in town and some older." "I believe ya." "You keep a secret?" "Mm-hmm." "Take a look at that." "What is it?" "It's a map." "I can see that." "To $100,000 in gold, half of one at Ieast." "Is the gold around here?" "well, I don't know." "We'II find out when I find the other half." "could I come along when you go after the gold?" "well, if I took you along with me that means I'd have to cut you in for a share." "What would you do with all that gold?" "Maybe I'd get a pony and candy every day." "And books!" "I Iove books!" "And new clothes for every day of the week!" "I reckon I couId get just about anything in the world." "well, I reckon you could." "Except for what I really want." "And what's that?" "It's for my pa to get well and not hurt people anymore." "I guess not even gold can fix everything." "Hey, you Iike candy?" "well, I got some sassafras and some other stuff over there" "Ms. waiter gave me, you want some?" "Come on." "Hey...you reckon that boy that you blamed that broken window on likes candy?" "Why don't you make sure he gets some too?" "Ooh, it's hot out here today." "Looks like you all can use some lemonade." "That's okay, Miss Emma." "I gotta go." "well, this certainly is a treat." "Thank you." "The only thing sweeter is the lovely lady that made it." "Oh, well, thank you, Luther." "I guess I better get back to the store." "Oh, Major, I wouldn't do that." "I got some hooch here you can rinse with." "Lord, I Iove that woman like a daughter, but her lemonade could pucker a cannonball." "You know, Major, after the war I just couldn't seem to settle in one spot, so I traveled this entire country top to bottom, east to west, and I seen a Iot of sights." "But for people, I never saw the beat of the folks right here in fairplay, no, sir, never did." "That's why I settled in." "Guess I'm stuck here from now on." "It's a mighty fine town, mighty fine." "You getting to something, Hanks?" "I know you ain't no road agent, Major, but you're here for something, something that might add up to trouble for so much these folks I care so much about." "I'm looking for a fellow named Dwight Jackson." "You ever heard of him?" "Not that I can recollect." "When you find this Jackson, is it gonna be a friendly reunion or something a little more lively?" "well, he's got a hundred thousand dollars in gold that belongs to me." "I don't suspect he'II be too happy to see me." "Expect not." "What's he look like?" "Never laid eyes on him." "AII I know is he's got a reputation with a gun and he's gonna be here july 4th." "carl, you get us fired from every job we get." "Sorry, Hayes." "I got bored." "I think that's all about to change." "well, I'II be." "Huh?" "When'd they let you out." "Short time back and I rode straight on down to see my old pals." "Mexican Bob and Luke Tanrussy." "Hey, Bob's a good man for a Mexican." "Bob, I was just giving you a compliment." "I got business in fairplay, beat a dollar a day." "I'm still a young man." "I couId use some fun." "Oh, I can provide that." "You boys want something?" "Yup." "Coffee." "Man, I was beginning to feel like I was born on that horse." "Are you boys from FairpIay?" "Yup, that's right." "You must be Kincaid." "Sheriff Logan said we ought to keep a watch out for you." "Yeah, Sheriff Logan sure takes his job seriously, where I'm concerned." "FairpIay was a boom town years back." "When the mines played out, a Iot of the good folks left." "Then the lumber companies moved in." "The roughnecks would have drove out the rest of the decent folks, but Logan wouldn't let it happen." "He's a good man." "Is that right?" "So you fellas know Emma wilson?" "That we do." "Fine woman." "Pretty, owns property too." "She don't have a husband?" "He got killed in a shootout, must have been 5 or 6 years ago." "Sheriff Logan took it awful hard." "Is that right?" "Yeah, James was Logan's deputy at the time." "Logan blamed himself." "Can't be an easy thing feeling responsible for another man's death." "Mr. Kincaid." "So how are things coming along?" "Going really good." "I'm gonna start on the roof in a little bit." "Not today, you're not." "There's a city ordinance against making noise on Main Street before noon on Sunday." "You did know today was Sunday, didn't you?" "No, ma'am, I can't say that I did." "well, I'm on my way to church if you'd care to join me." "It'd give you a chance to meet some folks in town and" "Don't really see much point in that." "Oh, that's right." "You're just passing through." "Suit yourself." "Let's go, Asa." "Amen." "(Ms. Walter) Mr. Kincaid!" "I'm so glad you came." "The hymns are about to start." "You come sit with me, you can share my hymnal." "They tricked me the same way when I first got to town, Major." "Romans 15:1 , "And we who are strong are to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves."" "I like that verse." "I like it because it speaks so well of how many, but not all the good citizens of fairplay try to conduct themselves in their day-to-day life." "And verse 3 goes on to say, "And Christ pleased not himself' which I interpret to mean it is in the wishes of God when the strong and the capable set aside their personal profit and pursuit to help and assist those" "who cannot help themselves." "(congregation) Amen, brother." "Let's go to page 107 and stand up and let's sing praises to God." "♪ Amazing grace, how sweet the sound ♪" "♪ that saved a wretch like me ♪" "♪ I once was lost, but now am found ♪" "♪ Was blind but now I see ♪" "Mr. Kincaid." "I was happy to see you changed your mind about church." "well, you never know about me." "well, that's true." "I would have said you were the worst sort of dirty scoundrel leaving us out on the road there like that." "I believe you did say that." "But you're not Iike that at all." "I can see that now." "Mr. Kincaid." "Yeah." "would you care to join me on a buggy ride?" "♪♪♪ I haven't been many places in my lifetime, this must be the most peaceful place on earth." "It is a might peaceful at that." "James, my husband's name was James." "We used to come up here and sit and talk for hours and hours." "Have you ever been married, Mr. Kincaid?" "No." "I tell ya, when you lose someone, it's very difficult to pick up and go on." "You must have loved him an awful lot." "(Emma) Yes, I did." "After he was killed, I would come up here almost every day and in the stillness," "I thought I heard his voice guiding me and comforting me and loving me like he always did, but I realize it wasn't his voice at all." "It was the voice of God." "God?" "Yes." "I thought God did all his talking with thunder and lightning, things like that." "He can do that all right, or it can be as soft and gentle as the summer breeze." "You ever heard the voice of God, Mr. Kincaid?" "No, ma'am." "I can honestly say if there is a God, he ain't never said a word to me." "well, there is a God, and he's speaks to us all, you just have to be willing to listen." "Hey, watch it." "Get out of here!" "Crazy kelly?" "[screaming]" "Hey, leave her alone." "What are you doing?" "What's your problem?" "Oh!" "Uh-oh." "(Kincaid) Hey!" "Hey!" "Let him go." "Boy, it looks like you had a little too much fire water." "Now why don't you drop that ax handle and go on home?" "♪♪♪" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Get him, Jake!" "(male) Look out, Jake!" "That was a lucky shot." "[gun firing]" "♪♪♪" "hello, sheriff." "Take this with you, Luther." "Thank you." "What's wrong, Bob?" "I'm worried about you, Emma." "Now Bob, if there is about TaIbert again," "I'm not gonna go into it." "No, no, I'm talking about Kincaid." "You're getting mighty friendly with him." "When did being friendly become a crime?" "well, you don't know anything about him, where he's from, why he's here, you just don't know." "What do I need to know?" "He spent time in prison, and he came into town" "looking for a man and he won't tell me who or why." "And he's a fast gun and that means nothing but trouble." "Now he's not being truthful to me or truthful to you." "There's nothing between me and Mr. Kincaid, and I'm a grown woman." "I think I know my own mind." "Not about this and not about him."

"Wire the sheriff's office in Auburn, if you need me." "Yes, sir." "♪♪♪" "(male) Tell me, friend, how's the price of cattle holding up these days?" "Can't complain, I believe they treated me fairly." "You know fair treatment is all you can ask for in this world." "generally it's a little hard to come by." "Whoo!" "Hey, since my horse went lame on the trail, you think these good folks'd want to part with this one?" "I'm Wes Coe, this is my boy, Trent." "That's harley and Frank." "Hey boy, I think your dad's a reckless man." "I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand you." "No place for a boy out here on a trail drive." "Mister, just who do you think you are?" "You know, I figure anybody that's that reckless just might be foolish enough to bring all that cattle money home here on the trail rather than stuffing it in a nice, cozy, warm bank, so how about it?" "Mister, we haven't got much, but you can have it." "Just let us be." "Good, hand it over." "Don't be getting brave here, we gotta get this boy home to his mom." "Hey, Mr. Coe, it doesn't look like you've been fairly treated at all, but I guess it will have to do." "And what I said earlier, the drive is no place for a boy." "for a boy." "No!" "[gun firing]" "♪♪♪" "What's this Kincaid fella up to anyway?" "Hicks, you ever heard of a fella named Dwight Jackson?" "Dwight Jackson?" "No, I don't think so, why?" "Oh, nothing." "♪♪♪" "(Emma) Oh, looks like you might be enjoying yourself a little bit this afternoon, Mr. Kincaid?" "Kind of reminds me of back home a little bit." "There's a dance tonight, I don't suppose you'd be coming." "Ma'am, you just never know." "You just never know." "Maybe I'II see you there then." "Maybe." "♪♪♪" "(Sheriff) Kincaid." "Sheriff, buy you a drink?" "Sure." "I understand you're famous about buying drinks, but mostly for yourself I hear." "I told you I was gon' find out how innocent you are and as it turns out, not very." "You want to get to your point?" "I just rode back from Auburn, talked to an old friend who used to be sheriff in Grass valley." "He says you used to spend every day trying to drink up all the whiskey in town." "Right before you got locked up, he says you swore up and down you never stole that gold, but you were such a worthless miserable cuss, nobody believed ya or much cared." "Whatever you got, you deserved." "Putting your wife down like you did all alone." "Said she scrubbed floors and cleaned up in boardinghouses after you drank away the ranch." "Everybody said she was a fine, decent woman with one weakness, that no good, worthless Jake Kincaid." "people in this town, they're starting to respect you, respect you don't deserve." "Why don't you get out of here before you hurt them" "like you hurt everybody you touch?" "Emma wilson deserves a better man than you, and I bet you deep down in your heart you know that's the gospel truth." "And whatever it is you have to do in fairplay, you get to it and you get out before you start hurting people again."

"Let's kill her." "kill her?" "We kill Emma wilson, the sheriff will come down on us hard." "kill him too." "Maybe we should kill him first just to be cautious." "That's brilliant." "Why don't we just kill everyone in town while we're at it?" "Use dynamite and blow the whole place down, why don't we?" "I believe you're really as dumb as everyone says you are." "It wasn't my idea to think." "I was forced into it." "Wait a minute, I think maybe I got me an idea, how we can get that deed for TaIbert and get that big old sodbuster back at the same time."

"[gun fires]" "♪♪♪" "I told you tie the horses up!" "Sheriff, what happened?" "It was those two TaIbert boys, they were trying to blow up a safe in Emma's place." "Somebody hit me with something, I guess." "well, Iet's mount up and catch them before they get too far." "I'm coming with you." "Oh sheriff, you ain't going anywhere, you're hurt." "You ain't gonna do us any good if we have to tie you on a horse." "Sam, you get him to the doc." "Yes, sir." "Come on, fellas, Iet's go." "well boys, there sure ain't gonna be much moon tonight." "There you are, Major." "I've been looking for you." "It's gonna be tough tracking these guys tonight." "We can really use some help." "These are your people, Hanks, not mine." "I told ya there was nothing I couId do." "You'd be better off taking a gun and putting a bullet in your own heart, then we wouldn't have to look at this." "You have to see a surgeon, now!" "I know you're right, doc, I just can't leave town now." "If I did, TaIbert would take it over hide and horn." "Doc, is he gonna live?" "(Doc) He might, pigheadedness and stubbornness aren't necessarily fatal." "Thanks, doc." "I was pretty hard on you the other day." "I know you're just trying to watch out for me, and I guess what I'm trying to say is you're my best friend, and I don't know what I'd do without you." "Truth is you're right about Jake Kincaid after all." "It gives me no pleasure to hear, Emma." "I'm sorry." "I better saddle up and catch up with the boys." "♪♪♪" "Looks like you've worked yourself right out of a job." "Now what are you gonna do?" "♪♪♪" "(male) There ain't much left for your services, Doc." "(Doc) Who is it, Pike?" "What's left of him looks like charlie Hobbs." "Kincaid, Pike just rode in with a body slumped across the back of his mule." "What's that got to do with me?" "They found him up on the sawtooth, you know, where you took that wrong turn." "He was gunshot." "I don't know if you killed him, but you sure as hell lied to me about being alone." "You're under arrest." "Not today, sheriff." "You got no choice." "♪♪♪" "You know how close you are to dying'?" "Yes, I do." "♪♪♪" "What's going on here?" "He's under arrest, Emma." "Did you have to do this in front of the whole town here?" "This doesn't concern you, Emma." "I think it does." "well, you think what you want 'cause I've never known you to do anything else." "Stay out of this." "Yeah, real special place you got here, ma'am." "Jake." "Jake, what are they doing to you?" "Go away." "I can help you, Jake, just tell me what to do." "We're friends, remember?" "I said go away." "I'm tired of looking at ya." "♪♪♪" "Whoa!" "This just came in." "AII right, Sam." "Who else knows about this?" "I came straight here." "AII right, don't say anything, but get folks together for a town meetin'." "What's going on?" "AII right, folks, I just got some news." "Josh Quinn was busted out of the territorial prison by his gang." "If he's headed this way, he could be here as early as daybreak." "Now I don't think there's any need to panic, but I would Iike to deputize a couple of you men just in case." "(Talbert) Now that'd be a big mistake, Logan." "The last time you tried turning these shopkeepers into gunsIingers, you got James wilson killed." "I don't need you to remind me of that, TaIbert." "well, I'II ask you then." "What's Josh Quinn want here?" "Why, he wants Bob Logan." "He wants Bob Logan for killing his brother, then sending him to prison, and if Bob Logan ain't here, we're not gonna have any trouble." "And I have the authority to remove Bob Logan as sheriff." "I believe that's the safest way." "(Sheriff) Now listen to me, Talbert's been looking for an excuse to get rid of me for over a year, and if you let him get away with this, he's gonna own this town, lock, stock and barrel." "The worst thing we can do is get more innocent people killed, and I'm passing an ordinance right now." "There'll be no deputizing, and everybody will be off the streets tomorrow." "(Hanks) Shut up, Talbert." "(Sheriff) No!" "TaIbert's right." "You folks stay home." "Keep with your families." "I'll handle this." "Go on, get on home, you heard him." "There's a new man in town, fastest I've seen." "He pulled Griggs' gun right out the holster before he could even blink." "Shut up, oaf!" "That's how wild stories get started." "Fast gun?" "Give me a name." "Jake Kincaid." "So the blue and the gray get to fight another day." "beautiful." "[laughing]" "You're a fool, Logan." "Maybe, but I'm not the one behind bars." "But I ain't gonna be the one dead tomorrow, am I?" "Mr. Hicks, what can I do for you?" "well, I just wanted you to know that tomorrow you can count on me no matter what happens." "Oh, that's a comfort." "well, that's right, sheriff." "No matter what happens, I'm right behind you." "I believe you have something that belongs to me." "Jackson?" "You know, when I heard you were asking about" "Dwight Jackson, well, I figured you were someone on my trail from the old days, and when Hobbs arrived this morning dead, well, then I knew." "Now hand over the map." "I am not a violent man by nature, Mr. Kincaid, but I will blow your brains across that wall if I have to." "Now hand over the map!" "I've been trapped in this town for a year just waiting to make my move." "FairpIay, I'm going to San Francisco to spend my gold." "That's my gold, Jackson." "(Jackson) And you're the kind of man who would track me from Fresno to the ends of the earth to get it." "I can't allow that." "If you pull that trigger, everybody in this town will know what's going on in here." "Oh, that's all right." "I got my horse right outside." "Besides, I'II be halfway to San Francisco before they know what hit you." "hello, sheriff-- [gun fires]" "♪♪♪" "Sheriff, you okay?" "Yeah, I'm all right." "Where you going?" "We're gonna need you tomorrow." "Hanks, I come to this town to get my gold, not get myself killed, and my gold's gonna be in San Francisco in about 3 days." "First morning light, that's where I'm heading." "Sheriff, you sure you gonna be okay?" "I'm fine." "I'm all right." "Major." "I ain't staying." "Major, that Quinn is coming is Josh Quinn the Yankee butcher of Marysville prison." "You know what kind of man he is." "You know the stories as well as I do, and he's got a score to settle with these good people here." "It's not my fight." "Not your fight?" "Why do you think you're here, Major?" "Why do you think I'm here?" "Why do you think Josh Quinn is coming just now?" "Coincidence." "Coincidence is God's way of staying anonymous." "Oh not you, Luther!" "Every time I turn around, somebody in this town's throwing God in my face." "well, Iet me tell you something, there's a hundred thousand dollars in gold that belongs to me, and I paid dearly for it." "And you, sheriff Logan, Emma wilson or the God almighty himself ain't gonna stop me from getting it!" "You ain't the man I thought I knew." "I never was." "♪♪♪" "I'm going after my gold." "That's not why I'm here." "I'm not here to stop you." "Then why are you here?" "It ain't Sunday." "I need you to tell me something before you go." "What might that be?" "I think you know." "Pardon me, ma'am, but I just ain't in the mood for games right now." "please." "(Kincaid) What?" "tell me." "tell you what?" "The truth." "Ma'am, I don't know what you're talking about." "Jake tell me, please." "Tell me." "They call me a hero, ma'am, because I took 2,000 men to their death." "'Cause I didn't have enough guts to disobey an order" "I knew was wrong." "That don't make me a hero." "That makes me a coward." "Jake." "And there's something else I gotta tell you too." "I was married, a good woman like you." "After the war, I started drifting, didn't come home much, when I did" "I was usually drunk." "She'd take my boots off for me and put me to bed and put my head in her lap." "She'd start singing songs, church songs mostly." "She was a good woman." "She died while I was in prison and they said it was the fever, but I know what it was." "My wife died of a broken heart that I gave her." "See, ma'am, I seem to bring only hurt to the people I care about." "I just ain't no good." "That's not true." "You're not gonna find the truth in gold." "Maybe not, but it could sure buy a Iot of whiskey." "♪♪♪" "Ah!" "You ever heard the voice of God, Mr. Kincaid?" "Your wife dyin' like she did all alone." "I guess not even gold can fix everything." "(Hanks) You ain't the man I thought I knew." "(whispering voice) Gold!" "He can do that all right, or it can be as soft and gentle as a summer breeze." "You just have to be willing to listen." "♪♪♪" "What are you doing here?" "You wouldn't believe me if I told ya." "welcome back, Major." "It's good to be back, Hanks." "♪♪♪" "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Hey, Hayes, I ain't bored anymore!" "I guess I'II head on down the street." "Get settled in on the Ieft flank." "Oh, Hanks." "Yeah." "You hear this spur here?" "Yeah," "well, when you hear it down there, don't shoot at it, huh?" "well, TaIbert, I hear some ugly rumors that you're the mayor now." "well, now, I ain't gonna be the mayor much you go shooting this place full of holes, Quinn." "Listen, got a proposition for you." "Logan, Logan's through here after today." "Fairplay's gonna need a new sheriff now." "This is gonna be a rich town in a few years, Quinn, and with you as my sheriff, there ain't nobody gonna want to run against me." "These mountains here, this can be our empire." "We got us a deal, Quinn?" "[gun fires]" "Whoo!" "(Quinn) Carl, go feed Talbert's body to the vermin." "Sheriff, Quinn just killed TaIbert." "If it was anybody else I'd pin a medal on them." "I'm coming with you, sheriff, and there's nothing you can say that will stop me." "I believe ya, JW." "Kincaid?" "Yeah." "What do you think?" "Same thing you are, sheriff." "Hey, son, have you ever" "♪♪♪" "(Ms. Walter) Jake?" "Sheriff Logan, where is everybody?" "Oh." "I just got back from North Fork," "I brought you some peanut brittle." "Mrs. waiters, take that peanut brittle and you take it on down to sheriff's office." "Oh my!" "[screaming]" "Oh!" "Ms. Waters, you all right?" "Ye, I'm all right, Jake." "Jake, Jake you been shot." "I'II be all right." "(Hanks) Let me--Ow!" "Sheriff, I can still fight!" "Don't you let him back out here." "♪♪♪" "[screaming]" "Lizzy, my Lizzy's out there." "Ms. waiters, Ms. waiters, I'm gonna go get here." "You stay here now." "I've never seen such a fuss over peanut brittle." "♪♪♪" "Kincaid, Quinn's orders." "You back off now, she lives." "You disobey those orders, ashes to ashes, dust to dust." "Don't let him kill me, Jake." "Oh, Jake, you can trust me on this." "Oh!" "[gun fires]" "Ah!" "Logan, no!" "(Sheriff) Get out of my way!" "I'm gonna put a bullet right through his heart!" "Logan, I know that voice you're hearing right now." "Don't listen to it." "No, he deserves to die!" "I know he does but, Logan, look at me, look at me!" "Now you're a good man." "You ain't like him." "You kill him like this and he'II eat you up forever." "You pull that trigger right now and you die." "believe me, I know." "I don't know how I let you folks talk me into this." "You know, now that Quinn's in prison for good, there's no reason for you not to go get well, sheriff." "well, you kiss that baby for me when it's born." "You're gonna be in my prayers, Bob." "Thank you, Emma." "We're gonna miss you, sheriff." "You take care of my town." "I will." "As soon as they dig this bullet out of my chest," "I'II be back, understood?" "Understood." "You're a good man, Kincaid." "Thank you, sheriff." "Let's go, Asa." "♪♪♪" "(Emma) You know, you still haven't told me why you came back." "well, I guess for the first time in my Iife," "I was willing to listen." "I Iove you, Emma." "(Charlie) Jake, Jake." "Hey." "Are you still going after your gold?" "well, charlie, I already found my gold." "You did?" "Yup, it was right here all along."
