"Figure we'll be in Laramie in an hour." " Thanks for that sandwich, ma'am." " I have another, if you'd like." "No, thank you." "This will hold me till we reach Laramie." " See any guards?" " Two of them." "One riding ahead and one riding shotgun." "Means the gold shipment." "I was just thinking about how different it is when you're not in the Army." "You know, you're the first girl I've been this close to in over eight months." "Eight months in the wild, and I pick you for a traveling companion?" "No cause for concern, Miss Blaine." "I'm here to protect you." "Cole, when you boarded this coach, I told you we were through." "I meant it." "We'll have your joke." "When I heard you were going to Laramie, well, I decided to come along and protect you, Nora." "Thanks." "The sergeant here has already spoken for the job." "It's like the lady said." "I'm here to protect her." "Brad!" "Here they come." "Pawnee, you take two men and cut them off." "(GUN FIRING)" "It's a holdup." "Hiya!" "Hiya!" "Whoa." "(GUN FIRING)" "Go, I'll try to keep them busy." "Slip out that door and hide." "Hurry." "Goodness' sake!" "Shut up." "That lunatic would have killed us all." "You've heard what that Nighthawk Gang will do to anybody who shows a fight." "Get that cash box off that coach and unhitch the horses." "All right, out, you two." " He's been hit." " Leave him lay and pile out!" "You, mister, keep 'em high." "All right, money and jewelry, and no tricks." "Come on." "That broach." "I got a gal'd be crazy about it." "All right, mister." "Thought a dressed "hombre" like you would have a roll on him." "No roll, mister." "I'm a gambler, had a streak of bad luck in Medicine Bow." "They cleaned me out." "Search him." "Except for what's hid in his fancy boot!" "All right, pull that soldier boy out of there." "Never mind about him." "Leave him alone." "Why not?" "He may have six months' pay on him." "I've got my reasons." "I said leave him alone!" "All right, let's drift." "I had over $2,000 in that wallet." "You dirty little..." "Are you hurt?" "I'm all right." "I'm mad." "I'm more mad than I am hurt." "Truly." "The broach that they took was the only thing left that I had that was given to me by my mother." "I'll buy you another broach with the first steer I sell." "Well, how'd you get so good at beating up women?" "You practice on little kids and puppy dogs?" "She had it coming." "She told that gang of bandits where I hid my wallet." "Because he hit you behind the ear with his gun." "So, that's where it came from." "Help me collect these bodies." "We'll start hiking for Laramie come dawn." "Meanwhile, I'll forget about you slugging me from behind and you forget about her." "Two thousand dollars ain't easy to forget." "Our gambling friend thinks it's a good 20 miles to Laramie." "Hope my shoes hold out." "If they don't, I'll be pleased to carry you." "I'll make it." "I'll bet you will, too, the way you cut loose on that tinhorn." "Well, when you work in a saloon, you either have to learn how to fight or else you..." "You really bruised your knuckles." "You won't chop down anybody else with those tonight." "I can still pack a pretty good left." "Pretty as a picture, fighting fool." "What's the matter?" "Wayne, you're lonely and you're woman-hungry." "You're bound to want the first girl you come across that looks halfway decent." "Meaning I'd better fold and throw in my hand?" "I'd be lying if I said yes, but... (HOOVES POUNDING)" " Well?" " COLE:" "Somebody's coming." "Find the rest of the posse, tell them the search is over." "Glad you men happened along." "It's a long hike into Laramie." "We didn't happen along, ma'am." "When a stage is hours overdue, we go out and look for it." " Now, how many did this?" " There were seven of them, Sheriff." "Knowing you, Cole, you was hugging the floorboards." "Let the soldier tell it." "Well, Sheriff, they were waiting for us up in the hills." "They got the driver and the other two guards with the first volley." "It was sudden and complete, we never had a chance." "Do you think you'd recognize them again if you saw them?" "They had bandannas over their faces." " Which way'd they head?" " East." "We'll pick up their trail when it gets light." "You two, load the bodies atop the stage." "Then hitch your mounts to it and drive these folks on into Laramie." " Joe Emery!" " Wayne Santley." "You old son of a gun." "I haven't seen you since we went through the Sioux campaign together." " What are you doing here?" " Oh, just come to visit my brother, Brad." "Well, I was just on my way to Jackson Hole on that stage there." "That's too bad." "I was just thinking it'd be swell to have you for a neighbor." "It could easily be arranged, Wayne." "I have a trading post up in the Grand Tetons, nor' west of here." "Fine fur country." "You know, I outfit and billet and stake a trapper in return for half his catch." "By spring, you could make yourself a couple of thousand dollars." "Why don't you come with me?" "Sure appreciate the offer, Joe, but I'm all set." "I'm going ranching with my brother, Brad." "He's running 2,000 head of cattle near here." "Cut me in as a partner." " Name's Brad, you say?" " Yeah." "Know him?" "No, heard of him, that's all." "Well, partnership in 2,000 head of cattle" " beats soldiering any time, huh?" " Yeah." "Miss Nora Blaine, meet my friend, Joe Emery." "Hi, Miss Blaine." "Well, you sure didn't waste any time." "Don't take him too seriously, Joe, this is his night to howl." "Come on, cattle baron, let's tie into those big, juicy T-bones." " All right." "Joe, good luck on your trip." " Thank you." "Nice to have met you." "Did you find out where your brother's ranch is?" "No." "But he left a letter for me to wait here." "He said he sends into town for supplies every week." "Said his man will find me." "That's great, you're all set, then." "WAYNE:" "Both of us." "I brought you a present." "Lovely." "They didn't have any broaches like yours." "Oh, it's beautiful!" "You think that'll help me grow on you?" "You know when to expect your brother's man?" "No." "Actually, all I know about this deal was in Brad's one letter." "He found me at Fort Sheridan right after the Custer massacre last year." "You were in that?" "With Captain Benteen." "Custer sent us in first, on the left." "Benteen got some of us out alive." "But Brad saw the list of survivors." "And then he wrote you the letter about the big spread with 2,000 head." "It was supposed to be that big by this time." "Yeah, the things that split us up and sent me into the Army are all buried in the past." "He wrote that he was burning calves with an honest B-W brand." "Brad-Wayne Ranch, northwest of Laramie." "NORA:" "Oh, that's wonderful." "Yeah, except for one thing." "I've been asking around town and nobody's ever heard of the brand." "Doesn't make sense, does it?" "I don't see how a man can raise 2,000 head of cattle here and not have anyone in the town know the brand." "Strange." "Still, gotta see for myself." " You Wayne Santley?" " Yeah, that's right." "Brad sent me." "I'm Pawnee." "We can start soon as you're ready." "I'll join you outside." "Wayne, play them close to your vest." "Now, don't you worry." "One way or the other, I'll be back." "I hate to see you go." "Well, honey, Brad's my brother, he wants to see me." "Okay." "I'll be watching for you." "Okay." " How am I doing?" " Very sweet, very tender." "You know, my barracks room buddies should hear that I'm sweet and..." "So long." " How far to the ranch?" " We'll get there soon." " Want some?" " Never touch it." "(IMITATING COYOTE)" "(IMITATING DONKEY)" "Just so the guy won't go shooting at shadows." "Lost half our horses to sneak thieves." "It happened last spring." " Pick up my chewing tobacco of the store?" " I got everything, Hannah." "This here is Brad's brother, Wayne." " Howdy." " Howdy." " Pawnee, that Wayne Santley you brung?" " Ain't no one else." "Hey, Brad, Wayne's here." "BRAD:" "Come on in, Wayne!" "Let me have a look at you." "Wayne!" " Brad, you old son of a gun." " Yeah, it's been a long time." "It sure has." "Six years." "Two hitches in the cavalry." "(CHUCKLING)" "Hasn't harmed you much." "Hey, can you still swap a belly punch, huh?" "Yeah, I remember now." "Come on, try me." "Ready?" "(LAUGHING)" "Come on." "No." "No." "I get to save mine, remember?" "That was the rule." "Yeah, so it was." "Hey, you know, this son of a gun used to save up all his punches and sock them into me, all at once." "Come on, Wayne, let's wash up for dinner, huh?" "There you are, Wayne." "You can wash up." "Six long years, huh?" "You were never off my mind, fellow." "Can't tell you how I felt when we heard that the Seventh had been wiped out." "They drunk a week in Cheyenne." "Then the papers printed a list of survivors, and there you were." "So you stayed drunk for two weeks." "Same kidder, huh?" "You know, kid, that's when I sat down and wrote you that letter offering you a partnership of the biggest cattle operation in the territory." "Lay off it, Brad." "What do you mean?" "This camp is no ranch headquarters." "It's a hideout." "And that letter you wrote me, all a pack of lies." "And as for your change of ways, if you had any cattle at the time, they were rustled." "You were still riding herd on other people's brands, and you probably are now." "There was one honest thing in that letter, kid." "I wanted my brother back." "Brad, why?" "You knew I wouldn't play it your way." "That was over a year ago." "Sure, Wayne, I could've cut all ties and gone along with you, but now..." "No soap." "You know, I've almost got it made, my way." "Come on, we'll iron it out after dinner, huh?" "I never could talk much on an empty gut." "Brad, look at Coheela." "She got all primped up for your brother." "This keeps up, I'll have to send her back to her lodge." "Unless, of course, you have a mind to trade for her." "Trade what?" "That dancehall queen you were making such a time with down in Laramie." "Real fancy-looking, Brad." "Name of Nora Blaine." "Look, keep her name out of this." "And watch that half-breed tongue of yours." "Pretty?" "Yeah, real pretty." "Where'd you get it?" " Pawnee." " I told you not to wear it!" "Drop it!" "All right, Wayne." "Get Pawnee's gun." "Kind of high-handed, ain't you, Brad?" "You know my rule about fighting in the outfit." "Well, tell that to your brother!" "Such is my intentions." "All right, Wayne, why'd you hit Pawnee?" "Coheela, come here." "Let me have that broach." "This belongs to Nora Blaine." "The Nighthawks took it from her." "They held up a stagecoach." "You heard me, didn't you, Brad?" "I heard you." "That's what you meant by "almost having it made, your way."" "You took that gold shipment but you killed four honest men when you did it." "Wayne, this is wild country." "We tore it from the Injuns." "Now it's a case of dog-eat-dog to see who gets off with the loot first." "First we'll get the money, then we'll get the ranch, and then the cattle." "Not me." "I'll be heading for Jackson Hole on that offer Joe Emery made me." " Doing what?" " Trapping." "Pawnee, what'll you take for Coheela?" "Your new Winchester, even trade." "All right." "Coheela, you're from the Grand Teton country, aren't you?" "Pack some grub and saddle up two horses." "You're guiding my brother to Jackson Hole." "What happens to you after you get there is up to him." "He can either keep you or turn you loose." "First stop he makes will be into town to see his girl." "He'll have some explaining to do." "You ain't forgetting there's a $5,000 reward for information about us." "He might figure to collect it." "What about it, Wayne?" "Nobody will get anything out of me." "You're still my brother." "Go get ready." "All right, boys." "Make yourselves nice and comfortable, huh?" "I don't want my brother getting shot along the trail." "Brad." "Come with me." "Let them have that gold." "It can be like in the old days." "Both of us together." "I'll be along, as soon as I make the Rio strike." "Good luck, kid." "Good luck, Brad." "(LOCKING DOOR)" "You forgot something, didn't you, Brad?" "How's he gonna get past our lookout, Hannah?" "Coheela knows the password." "Hannah'll gun him down." "You told him to let nobody through." "(CAWING)" "One.44 shot." "No Winchester." "Looks like your brother knew the password." "Let that be a lesson to you." "He's greased lightning on the draw." "All right, boys." "Relax." "We gotta get that gold headed for Deadwood." "(SINGING)" "(PEOPLE LAUGHING)" "Wait for me here, I may be a little while." " You see white girl?" " Yeah." "(PEOPLE CHEERING)" "Thank you, Wayne." "So you found him?" "Yeah, I found him." "Just like I figured, only worse." " Here." " My broach." "Don't ask any questions." "Afraid I don't have to." "I'm sorry for you, Wayne." "What are you gonna do now?" "I'm headed for Jackson Hole." "Nora, I'm asking you to come along with me." "Joe figured I'll make two or three thousand by trapping this winter." "Hey, they'd go wild over a gal singer like you." "How about it, Nora?" " One thing you'd have to do first." " Name it." "The Nighthawks have killed a lot of people." "They're gonna keep on killing." "You got to tell the sheriff where to find them." "Do you know what you're asking?" "When a man's hands are stained with blood, he forfeits all kinship rights." "Nora, I'd rather cut off my arm than turn my brother in." "Come on, Nora." "I'll take real good care of you." "We'll have a fine life together." "I'm not going with you." "Well, I can't say I blame you." "I mean, when you look at it close..." "Brad, I want a home." "I want children." "I want to put down roots somewhere." "But as long as you cherish this blind devotion to Brad, I..." "But I'd live in fear that he'd come and tear up the roots..." "So I put two and two together, and came to get you as quick as I could." "Stand right where you are, Santley." "All right, start talking." "What's this all about, Sheriff?" "That broach." "How'd you get it back?" "And while you're at it, we'd be plumb interested to know where you've been since you left town with the half-breed." "Well, if that's all you wanna know, Sheriff, I think I can oblige you." "Let's go!" "Get the horses." "I'll talk to Nora Blaine." "Wayne only mustered out of the Seventh Cavalry a week ago." "He had no idea his brother Brad was the leader of the Nighthawks." "He thought he was running cattle." " You expect us to swallow that?" " I don't need your help, Cole." "If Wayne wasn't with him, why did he run?" "Why didn't he come to me when he found out to tell me where the Nighthawks were holed up?" "It isn't easy to inform on your own brother." "Well, maybe you'd better explain that to the widows and children of the men we buried." "All right, you can go." "You're just gonna let her go?" "Way I figure, Wayne will try to get her out of town if he can." "With all that reward money on your mind, Cole, you're not gonna let that happen?" "Wayne, he hurt." "He need you." "Come." "Wait for me over there, I'll get out of this outfit." "Wayne." "Wait here." "Okay." "(CAWING)" "I'm looking for Brad Santley." "That's me." "Who shot him?" "The sheriff." "The bullet's still in his shoulder." " Turn him into the cabin." " Handle him gently." " You're Nora Blaine, aren't you?" " Yes." "What happened?" "A gambler by the name of Cole Fender was with the sheriff." "He must have been listening close when Wayne gave me back my broach." "He saw it taken during the holdup." "Cole Fender." "Yeah, I know him." "Saunders, get the whiskey." "He'll be all right." "Hurry up with that whiskey." " Here." " Yeah." "Okay, take this." "(COUGHING)" "Pack all you can into him." "(COUGHING)" "Pawnee, get that bullet out." "Only don't be tempted to cut too much." "Sterilize the knife with whiskey." "Do as she says, Pawnee!" "How'd you know so blasted much about it?" "I spent a year as a nurse in the hospital at Fort Lincoln." "Hold his legs." "Well, quit stalling!" "Get it out!" "I'm not stalling." "(WAYNE GROANING)" "I can't find it." " Look, Joe, I warned you..." " Quit it, both of you!" "It's not deep." "Give me the knife." "Do as she says." "Hold him down." "Everything for the loving brother!" "The rest of us can go scratch!" "What's the matter?" "You gonna burn your bridges?" "Don't push me, Brad." "All right, Pawnee." "Either you abide by my orders or you can make your play right here and now." "It's your choice." " Hiya, kid." " Hi, Brad." " Feeling better?" " Much better." "Brad, the sheriff knows that Coheela helped me to escape." "He'll have a posse turning these hills inside out." "Yeah." "We may have some trouble tonight." "Maybe Wayne and I can go to Jackson Hole tomorrow." "We'll wait." "See how he feels." "They'll never let us get out of here." "Not with what we know about him." "Nora, he knows we wouldn't talk." "He'd never be sure." "And even if he were, the rest of the men would never let him take a chance like that." "Okay." "We'll get out tonight." "Sure you're strong enough?" "I'll be all right." "When we get to the next town, I'll rest up." "Get Coheela in here." "I'll ask her to get our horses saddled and packed." "Horses saddled, packed, behind cabin in draw." " What about the guard at the rocks?" " I take care of him." "Get mounted." "I'll be with you in a few minute." "Where are you going?" "To get some blankets." "We're gonna need them." "All right." "Wayne?" "All packed up and ready." "Well, what do you know?" "WAYNE:" "Pawnee!" " Head up to the draw." "I'll follow." " Right." " Those shots came from the draw, Brad." " Cory's is trouble." "Get up there!" "It's Cole." "He's brought the sheriff's posse." " Brad!" "They'll kill him!" " Wayne!" "(GUN FIRING)" "There's nothing you can do now." "Brad has brought this on himself." "They're all wiped out." "I'm sorry, Wayne." "Well, we got the gold ingots from the stage holdup, and some from their other jobs." "How you coming?" "All done." "No sign of the Santley brothers, or Nora Blaine, either." "Brad was hit right there." "Gunned him down myself." " He can't have got far." " We've combed the woods." "He's either holed up, or cleared out, or dead." "If he's still around, he'll need grub, bandages, and blankets." "Probably try to sneak back to the cabin." "Vance, you and Hank hole up here for a couple of days." "Stay out of sight and keep a sharp lookout." "The rest of us will head back to Laramie." "We'll take the squaw with us." "Cole!" "So it was you who brought the posse." "Your brother, he sent me to get the sheriff." "You're lying." "(STAMMERING) Look, he sent me to get the sheriff." "He betrayed you for the $5,000." "I know you're lying!" "You was trouble to him, Brad." "But $5,000 wasn't." "No." "My brother would never double-cross me." "You know, Vance, if that critter's still alive," "I'm betting he's a far piece from here by now." "(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)" "Brad, it's me, Pawnee." "Did you get them?" "Yeah." "Come on in." "Shut the door." "Did you see anything of Wayne and Nora?" "No, they must be well on their way to Jackson Hole." " Any idea how that posse found us?" " Yeah, a gambler named Cole Fender." "He said Wayne sent him after the sheriff." "I squared the account with that rattlesnake." "Maybe he was telling it straight." "What are you driving at?" "Plain, ain't it?" "That reward money'd help Wayne get set up with Nora Blaine." "Pawnee, I killed one man for saying that." "Two won't make much difference." "The night before the posse got here," "I heard a noise outside so I went to look." "I saw Nora." "She had two horses saddled and a pack horse loaded." "Then Wayne comes sneaking up and gunned me down." "I figure they was clearing out 'cause they knew that posse was coming." " You're lying!" " Truth!" "Talk!" "He was toting blankets when I saw him." "And maybe them blankets are still in that bedroom." "I'm thinking maybe they ain't." "Let's see." "Move!" "No blankets." "He turned on me!" "Like a dirty, mangy coyote." "That was the soldier in him." "Six years, duty-bound." "We're gonna give my shoulder a chance to heal." "Then we're heading for Jackson Hole." "Here they are, Wayne." "The Grand Tetons." "Let's get down." "Oh, Wayne, get me there." "Then maybe there'll be no more deaths." "There can't be anything evil out there." "I hate to spoil your pretty picture, but some of the toughest outlaws in the West have made Jackson Hole their hideout for years." "Then I'll bet they're no longer tough." "What a gal." "You know, you'll have me trying to shake hands with the first grizzly bear we meet." "They can't be too much ahead of us." "I'd sure hate to have you on my tail, Brad Santley." "The name's Brad Cain." "(HORSE SNORTING)" "All right, Molly, just throw a hip hock on that and roll it over here." "Joe!" "Wayne!" "Nora!" "JOE:" "Well!" "Welcome to you both." " Sure is good to see you." " Good to see you, Joe." "Sure good to see you." "Oh, this is Moose McLean." "That's his new wife, Molly." " Howdy." " She's quite a gal." "This is Jonathan Tooney." "He runs the sawmill down below." "Hi." "That is, when he isn't busy saving our souls." "Nora Blaine and Wayne Santley." "He campaigned with me against Chief Joseph." "He was with the Seventh." "Welcome, folks." "Any friend of Joe is naturally part of the family." "Especially if he's cavalry." "Lookie here!" "The Sioux did it." "Happened up on the Rosebud." "I was riding scout for the Second, and..." "Say, I hope you folks are planning on staying on." "Well, that's sort of up to Joe." "Is that trapping offer still go?" "Well, you're darned tooting, it does." "In fact, I just got back yesterday from laying out my own trap line." "Look, we could work it together." "In fact, I'm kind of glad you brought along a partner." "Well, I think I'd better explain about Nora." "Oh, no explanation necessary." "She's more than welcome." "Come on, I'll show you around the inside." "Mr. Santley, Moose and me'll help you bring in your gear." " Thank you, ma'am." " Okay." "Well, here's where the trappers pick up their food and supplies." "Back here, that's where we store our furs." "Well, empty now, except for these few grizzly bear hides." "But in a few months, it'll be filled with prime pelts." "Mink, marten, fox, otter, raccoon and lobo." "A regular goldmine, huh?" "Sold last winter's catch in Cheyenne for close to $27,000." " Twenty-seven thousand?" " That's right." "Rest of the trappers here with me made themselves over $2,000." "Expect this season's catch to be better." "You know what?" "I'd just like to do that well." "You didn't cotton to cattle raising, huh?" "Joe, you knew I wouldn't, didn't you?" "Well, that's all behind you now." "Leave it there." "Never did believe in making shadows in a new territory." "Besides, you got a whole heap to be thankful for." "A whole heap." "Well, come on, I'll show you the living quarters." "You like it?" " Never seen anything finer." " All yours." " All right, bring their stuff in here." " Oh, no, we wouldn't." "Oh, now look, I've always believed that a bride is entitled to some measure of privacy." " Them's my sentiments." " You kinfolk?" "No." "No relation." "Yet you were traveling together." "Jonathan, we've no right to pry into their business." "When the Lord looked down upon Sodom and Gomorrah, he made it his business to wipe out the sin and corruption he saw." "You speak with considerable authority about sin." "Are you, by chance, a preacher?" "I am a duly ordained minister, young woman." "Then is it not as much your duty to prevent sin as it is to cast it out?" "Such is the will of the Lord." "Then if you will, we would like you to marry us." "Nora!" "Honey!" "Well, what are we standing around gawking for?" "We got a wedding to arrange!" "Honey, I'll cut down my wedding dress for you and it'll fit you just perfect." "Place the ring on her finger." "I now pronounce you man and wife." "You can kiss your bride." " Wonderful." " Congratulations." "This is a chance I don't wanna miss." "Well, me, neither!" "Me, neither!" "MOLLY:" "Oh, no, you don't!" "The past is behind us now, Wayne." "I'm sure of the future." "Very sure." "The minute I saw you in Medicine Bow," "I was sure." "Howdy, old-timer." "Which way is the settlement?" "There's two of them." "Joe Emery, he's up thataway, and Jackson, down yonder." "PAWNEE:" "What's the difference?" "If you got the law on your tail, take Jackson." "If you're clean, Joe Emery's trapping camp's your dish." "Thanks." "BRAD:" "The park!" " Hi, Wayne." " Hi, Molly." " Hey." " Hi, Tiffany." "How's it out there in the trap line?" "Safe enough for my Moose man all alone?" "Well, Molly, there's a big grizzly robbing all the traps, but..." "Well, he's due to hole up any day now." "Well, that settles it." "Honey baby, I'm going with you." "Oh, Molly, women don't trap and kill fur animals." "Well, you do your trapping." "I'll just sit and watch for the grizzly." "If he tries bothering my little honey baby," "I'll break his darned back." "(LAUGHING)" "Well, that Molly's quite a gal." "Makes him a good wife." "Yeah." "You know, I'm sure glad I'm a married man." "This is rough territory for a bachelor." "(CHUCKLING)" "He looks real happy, doesn't he?" "What did you expect?" "He'd be in mourning for you?" "Got a lot more than I expected." "Let's travel." "You mean, you ain't gonna gun that sidewinder down here and now?" "I can kill Wayne just as dead in the spring as I can right now." "Crawfish!" "That's what you're up to." "You're still trying to protect him." "You gone soft." "Not so soft as I ever aim to let you get the draw on me again." "Look, Pawnee, it's a long trip here and back." "I don't make that kind of trip without pay." "No." "We're gonna let all of Wayne's nice, decent, hardworking friends do a little fur trapping for us these next few months." "In the meantime, we'll winter down in Jackson and pick up a few men." "Yeah." "I take it back, Brad." "I gotta hand it to you." "Let's go." "What about his girl?" "There'll be no more argument." "She goes with the loot." "Hey, that's quite a haul you made, Wayne." "Otter, beaver, wolf, mink, three silver foxes, two martens." "You did good." "Real good." "Looks like the other men have, too." "The good Lord has been most bountiful." "Oh, Wayne, looks like you and Nora are gonna have to watch the store for a few days." "Jake and I are going out and see if we can bring back some more of the" ""Lord's favors."" "Bring back a good catch." "Well, enough anyway, to line that crib." "Crib?" "What'd he mean by..." "I guess Joe is a more observing man than my husband." "You mean..." "Oh, honey." "What are you doing out here in the cold?" "Get inside!" " Hi, honey." " Hi, Wayne." "Settlement's about a half a mile below." "I'll take Pawnee with me and look the place over." "You boys stay here." "Brad." " Something on your mind, Roark?" " Just this." "Me and the boys took this job on your say-so." "Them furs better be there, like you told us." "You'll be paid well." "I'd hate to see a man die with his pockets empty." "What's the matter, Wayne?" "You'd think I was a ghost." "Yeah, I'm the one you shot down, not Brad." "Couldn't be that you knew that the sheriff and his posse were paying us a visit that night." "Something's eating you, Brad." "Let's have it." "Cole Fender fetched that posse." "I got my gun on him." "He said that it was you who sent him to the sheriff." "He lied!" "You're wrong, Brad!" " Keep out of this!" " Brad!" "Nora's my wife." "So I'm all wrong about Wayne, huh?" "All right, you explain it." "What're you listening to him for?" "You expect to get the truth out of him?" "Go on!" "Cut him down!" "Not till he said how you know he didn't rat on me!" "I wanted Wayne to tell the sheriff." "And he refused." "I wish I could believe that, Wayne." "You can, if you'll do your own thinking for a minute." "Brad, I guess it's been a long time since either one of us has been inside a church." "There's something we learned there as kids." "I think you ought to remember it right now." "Bible words don't fit my lips these days, Wayne." "I'm not ashamed to remember." ""And the Lord said, 'Where is thy brother?" "'" ""And Cain replied, 'Am I my brother's keeper?"'" "Yeah." "You know, you should've been a preacher, Wayne." "All right, you say what you told me is true," " and I'll believe you." " Well, I don't!" "Hey!" "Keep your hand away from that gun." "I'd shoot you both down now, but I don't wanna rouse the camp." "You don't wanna commit suicide, Pawnee." "You might get one of us, but you'd be a dead man before you could pull that trigger twice." "You reach!" "Reach high!" "Give me that gun." "Come on!" "Throw it over here, and don't try anything." "You were right, Brad." "It's a prime catch of furs already." "Plenty for me and the boys." "But you still have to take them out of the storeroom, Pawnee." "I came for the furs, Brad." "I'm coming back for them." "It's only you and Wayne here right now." "Leave it that way." "I'm coming back with five men." "We'll cut down anyone who stands between us and them furs." "If you're thinking of trying to get away, don't." "You're gonna be watched." "Try and stop us, we'll take more than the furs." "We'll take her." "(HORSE GALLOPING AWAY)" "He said five other men." "He was telling the truth, Wayne." "Outlaw guns from Jackson Hole." "Yeah, you were gonna kill me and clean out the store room." "I'm sorry, Wayne." "That two years I spent in prison has kept me from thinking straight ever since." "Well, you're thinking straight now, Brad." "And we're together." "If we get out of this, it'll be like old times." "Yeah, that sure listens good, Wayne." "But you're forgetting, I've got a lot of things to answer." "You know, when that trail east is opened up," "I bet I can name you a dozen men slipping out of Jackson camp to find the nearest sheriff." "Yeah, for that blood money." "Oh, no." "No, this is payable in gold, Wayne." "You know, they say blood washes off gold." "But I know better." "Honey, why don't you lie down?" "You need your rest." "I gotta keep doing things to keep my mind off this waiting." "Well, here's luck to you, Wayne." "Luck to you, Brad." "Both gonna need it." "What about Jonathan and the other men in the camp?" "I'm not asking anybody else to fight our battle." "She never saw the Santley boys in action." "On the same side!" "I'll keep a lookout." "(DOOR CLOSING)" "Well, it'll take Pawnee a spell to get the boys together." "I'll get a bite to eat." "Wayne, are you sure of him?" "Nora, look back." "Brad never crossed us." "In fact, he helped us go free." "That'll do it." "Fort Molasses." "Good as stone." "Yeah, if they ride straight in." "We'd be sitting ducks for men at either end of this porch." "No sign of them yet." "What's keeping Pawnee?" "Think maybe he quit?" "Not Pawnee." "He's been busting for a chance for years to gun me down." "He'll figure his five guns can do it." "You two will approach the side of the mill." "The rest of you'll come with me." "Any questions?" "Let's get it over with." "If we can drop some of them on the first ride in, we'd stand a chance." "Nora, I told you to stay inside." "I've fixed something." "You've got to eat sometime." "All right." "Brad, you go first." "Nora," "Wayne just told me about the baby." "I'm mighty happy." "Nora, I ain't much at apologizing, but I want you to know I could cut my tongue out for all the things I've ever said to you." "Tell me that when the sun rises," "(SOBBING) if my husband's still alive." "I'm sorry I brought this on to you." "Really." "(SOBBING)" "I'll send Wayne in." "(CRYING)" "(BELLS CLANGING)" "Nora, wait here." " Moose!" "What is it?" " The sawmill!" "She's burning!" "Do you think Pawnee fired the mill?" "Think of a better way to draw the men away from the settlement?" "Yeah, it was Pawnee, all right." "Who else?" "Where's Brad?" "Brad?" "Brad!" "WAYNE:" "Brad!" "Get back inside." "You can't face seven gunmen alone!" "Brad?" "Seven?" "So you do think Brad's back with them." "He isn't here, is he?" "You can ride straight in to the porch." "What about your brother?" "I got the both of them baled up with the furs." "We'll pack them along partway." "Fast change of mind, Brad?" "No change at all." "BRAD:" "But how could I tell you with them listening?" "Looks okay, but have your guns out." "He's trying to talk them into an ambush." "(GUN FIRING)" "Brad." "We got one of them." "I thought I'd cut the odds down a little." "You sure gave me a scare." "Why didn't you answer me?" "They were within earshot." "So you thought I crossed you, huh?" "Yeah, I did." "It's a bad feeling, ain't it?" "I had it for five months." "Brad, what got us this way?" "It used to be us two against the world." "It's the same way again, kid." "Us two against five." "Three against five." "She's a Santley, all right." "Honey, why don't you eat something?" "You've got to eat sometime." "(GUNS FIRING)" "Wayne, get inside." "(GUN FIRING)" "I've had enough." "I'm clearing out." "PAWNEE:" "Stay here!" "Get back!" "Wayne!" "(COUGHING)" "Tried to roll the years back, Wayne." "Did my best." "Just like it was in the old days, Brad." "Just like it was." "How long can this go on?" "The good Lord's arranged a pretty exact schedule." "Don't you wanna see your new daughter?" " It's a girl?" " Yeah!" "(JOE AND MOLLY LAUGHING)" "Brad sure would have gotten a boot out of this." "He'd have had a present for her..." "He already gave her the most important present she'll ever get, Wayne." "A future." "One dies." "One is born." "I guess we're all our brother's keeper." "If we could only remember it." "Subripped from original DVD by:" "Tantico (Croatia) 2009"
