"Best come on out!" "Our horses." "[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]" "[PLUNGER WHIRRING]" "What in the hell's going on here?" "Mr. Butterfield, all finished in Bisbee?" "Mr. Boles." "Better hurry." "We're making the last blasts through the mountains this week." "That's my prisoner." "I'm taking him to Contention, putting him on the prison train to Yuma." "What prisoner?" "Come now, Mr. Boles, that's Ben Wade you have there." "Ben Wade gunned down my kid brother in front of me six years ago in Abilene." "Your brother was a lyin', bilking' card sharp." "That is, if he's the asshole I remember." "Could, of course, been some other asshole I killed that I forgot about." "[PLUNGER WHIRRS] [ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]" "[STIFLED GROAN]" "You can't do that." "That's immoral." "[PLUNGER WHIRRS]" "[ELECTRICITY STOPS]" "Moral ain't got a damn thing to do with it." "I was expecting to collect a $200 reward for that man." "I'm delivering him to Contention." "I need that money." "Need it bad enough to die?" "Well, at least let us take our horses." "I got no problem with that... as long as you ride away, mister." "Nice knowing you, Dan." "Yah!" "Did you see me get that one with the shovel?" "[GUNSHOTS] [GRUNTS]" "Doc." "Doc!" "[GUNSHOTS]" "Dan!" "[HORSES NEIGHING]" "Goddamn it!" "Did we make it?" "Did we get away?" "Yeah, Doc." "We did." "Thanks to you." "We need a place to lay low." "Keep him outta sight till the train comes." "There's a hotel up here." "I'll check us in." "You ride around back." "All right." "Follow me." "Hello, gentlemen." "Hey, William, you go keep a watch at the railhead." "If you see them coming" "I'll let you know." "And William?" "There's a Can-Can on the hour if you're interested." "It's the bridal suite." "Hope you don't mind." "It's all they had." "Well, well." "That looks like rain clouds over Bisbee." "You still need that $200, Dan?" "Shut up." "Mr. Evans, you continue to give me great confidence." "DAN:" "Well, it ain't 3:10 yet." "I'm gonna go see about the marshal." "Come on, move." "Let's go." "We're looking for a group escorting an outlaw by the name of Ben Wade." "Yeah, we been chasing him through these tunnels." "Who are you?" "What's it to you?" "Ben Wade killed my brother." "Then your brother must be famous." "You boys some kind of posse?" "I hate posses." "[TICKING]" "[HORSE NEIGHS IN DISTANCE]" "So this is the bridal suite." "Now, I wonder how many brides have taken in this view." "[CHUCKLING]" "What are you gonna do with your $200 now, Dan?" "Now that the rains are coming?" "[SIGHS] I owe people money, Wade." "That drought left me in the hole." "Well, what do you think about double that amount?" "You could pay your debts, buy a hundred more cows, build a new barn." "How you reckon I'm gonna do that?" "Just lay down your gun and let me walk out the door." "It's worth $400 to me." "Is that what you reckon my price is?" "No." "No, I reckon it's a thousand." "$1,000." "Now, there's 10 times that amount in Butterfield's coach." "Oh, yeah?" "You want my cut, Dan?" "[CHUCKLES]" "It's all yours." "Isn't that kind of reckless of you, Wade?" "Seeing as, uh... you're so sure that, uh, your crew's coming to get you?" "Oh, they're coming, Dan." "Sure as God's vengeance, they're coming." "But I just like to do things easy." "Imagine what you could do with a thousand dollars, Dan." "You could hire a couple of ranch hands." "Your boys could go to school, grow up smart." "What about Alice?" "She would be the proud wife of a bona fide Arizona rancher." "All you got to do is say yes." "[LAUGHS]" "Well... would you give me a bank note, Wade?" "Or maybe you'd be kind enough to make a deposit for me." "Cash." "Well, you-- you tell me, Wade." "How would I account for-- for that amount of money?" "And what would I tell people when I spend it?" "That, uh" "That you got the jump on me, you escaped, and somehow I got a fortune?" "Hmm?" "[LAUGHING]" "No." "How dumb do you think people are?" "Nobody needs to know." "You know what?" "Would you do me a favor?" "Don't talk to me for a while." "You mean we're still not friends?" "No." "No, we're not." "[CHUCKLES] Come five minutes to three, we're gonna be a hell of a lot closer than you think." "♪ They're gonna hang me ♪" "♪ In the mornin' ♪" "♪ Before the night is done ♪" "♪ They're gonna hang me ♪" "♪ In the mornin' ♪" "♪ I'll never see the sun ♪" "[TICKING]" "[KNOCKING]" "Who is it?" "It's me, Dan." "I brought help." "You been gone a long time, Mr. Butterfield." "How do I know somebody ain't got a gun on you out there?" "[METAL SLIDING]" "Dan, this is Marshal Will Doane." "Marshal." "Mr. Evans." "Two of my finest men:" "Harvey Pell..." "Sam Fuller." "I'm sorry about all that, Marshal." "I really am grateful for the help." "Don't mention it." "So you fellas really gonna help put me on this train?" "It may not seem like it, Mr. Wade, but we got law and order in this town, just like any other." "Well, that's very reassuring, Marshal." "How much is Butterfield paying you?" "That's none of your business." "You gonna come with us?" "Oh, I'll be walking with you... every step of the way." "You have my word on that, Dan." "So there's five of us." "Five is good." "[WADE CHUCKLING]" "It ain't enough." "It ain't nearly enough." "[KNOCKING]" "Pa!" "That's my boy." "They're coming." "They're coming this way." "I seen 'em." "Where?" "About a mile out." "Same way we come." "How many are there?" "Seven." "Eight." "Which is it, boy?" "Seven or eight?" "Seven." "Yah!" "Yah!" "Folks, sorry to bother you, but I'm gonna need you all to move outside as quickly as possible." "That's it, folks." "Thank you very much." "That's it." "Move along, folks." "Move along." "[CROWD CHATTERING]" "MAN:" "Come on, now!" "MAN #2:" "Hey!" "Get out of my way!" "Right there." "[RAPPING ON DOOR]" "[MEN LAUGHING]" "There sure are a lot of 'em." "FULLER:" "I didn't figure on it being the whole gang." "Boss." "Boss?" "Boss, you in there?" "What do you want me to tell him?" "You tell him you'll write him a letter every day from Yuma." "You be careful, Wade." "Charlie." "Boys." "MEN:" "Boss." "Hey, Boss." "Yeah." "Charlie, why don't you take the boys down to the saloon and buy 'em a drink." "You okay?" "Oh, I'm fine." "I'm just sittin' up here with my four new friends." "Hey... that's enough." "Thank you, Charlie." "Boys." "Listen up!" "Listen up!" "That's Ben Wade they have up there." "Ben..." "Wade!" "Now... the Railroad intends... to put him on the 3:10 to Yuma... and hang him." "What's he doing?" "We will give you 200 cash dollars to any man who shoots any one of his captors." "MAN:" "How much?" "200 cash dollars guaranteed!" "$200 guaranteed!" "[CROWD CHATTERING]" "Right here." "You got me." "Hand it over." "I'll tell you now, mister." "I'll take 200." "Give me the money." "Well, you gotta shoot 'em first." "There's gotta be 30, 40 more guns out there now." "Oh, to hell with this." "Now just a minute, Marshal." "Look, look." "If it's a fair fight, well, sure." "I'd stay for that." "A fair fight, that" "That's a man's duty, but... there's only five of us." "I'm sorry, mister, but I'm not gonna die here today." "And neither are my men." "Marshal... forgot this." "Marshal" "Marshal!" "Marshal, what's the" "[SIGHS]" "Now, you see, Dan... generally, pretty much everyone wants to live." "I'll double your money." "Let's go, boys." "Please." "Do you wanna see us shot down in the street?" "This thing happened in Bisbee." "That means Butterfield, too." "Why bring your troubles to Contention?" "We've got families." "Every one of us is a family man." "I'm a family man, too." "He's gonna walk out on you." "Then you best get out like the rest of us." "WADE:" "He's gonna comeback up here, and he's gonna walk out on you." "Now what you gotta figure is why you and your boy are gonna die." "Because Butterfield's railroad lost some money?" "[GUNSHOTS]" "Is that all of 'em?" "MAN:" "Get inside!" "MAN #2:" "Get a doctor!" "Almost." "Your move, General." "What do you expect him to say?" "I expect him to say something that makes sense." "Something that might save the two of you." "Take a look, Dan." "What's the matter?" "You don't wanna see?" "I'll see 'em soon enough." "What about you, kid?" "You wanna look?" "You stay away from the window, William." "WADE:" "Go on, take a look." "Animals, all of 'em." "Campos, stand there." "Jackson, back door." "They're gonna kill you and your father, William." "They're gonna laugh while they do it." "I think you know that." "Call 'em off." "Why should I?" "Because you're not all bad." "Yes, I am." "You saved us from those Indians." "I saved myself." "You got us through the tunnels." "You helped us get away." "If I'd had a gun in them tunnels," "I would have used it on you." "I don't believe you." "Kid, I wouldn't last five minutes leading an outfit like that if I wasn't as rotten as hell." "[WATCH TICKING]" "[CONTINUES TICKING]" "Dan?" "I can't do it, Dan." "And if I can't do it, you shouldn't do it, either." "They say discretion is the better part of valor." "BUTTERFIELD:" "If you think you have an obligation to me or to the Railroad, I assure you you do not." "I'm releasing you." "It's just you left, Dan." "Just you and your boy." "Maybe he's right, Pa." "Maybe we should go home." "Well, what did Doc Potter give his life for, William?" "And McElroy?" "WADE:" "Little red ants on a hill." "BUTTERFIELD:" "I'll pay you the 200, Dan, right now, and you can walk away." "You know, this whole ride, that's been nagging on me." "That's what the government gave me for my leg." "$198.36." "And the funny thing is that... when you think about it, which I have been lately, was they weren't paying me to walk away." "They were paying me so they could walk away." "Don't muddy the past and the present, Dan." "No, no, no, Wade." "I'm seeing the world the way it is." "If you take him to the train, Pa, I'm going with you." "No, Mr. Butterfield's gonna take you home." "No, I'm not going anywhere with him." "Yes, you are." "I'm staying here with you." "You're gonna hold up in a room across the hall." "You're gonna wait until we leave." "I'll get him to Bisbee, Dan." "I promise you." "Oh, you're gonna promise me a lot more than that, Butterfield." "I want guarantees that Hollander and his boys will never set foot on my land again, and that my water's gonna flow." "And I expect you to hand my wife 1,000 cash dollars when you see her." "You got money to spare." "I can deliver that." "Just get him on the train." "You heard him?" "I heard him." "William, I want you to give this back to your mother." "I want you to tell her that it helped me find what was right." "Pa..." "I can't." "I can't just leave you." "I'm gonna be a day behind you, William." "Unless something happens, and if it does," "I need a man at the ranch to run things, protect our family, and I know that you can do that because you've become a fine man, William." "You've become a fine man." "You got all the best parts of me." "What few there are." "And you just remember that your old man walked Ben Wade to that station when nobody else would." "[DOOR OPENS]" "[WATCH TICKING]" "You know, squeezing that watch won't stop time." "Don't get so scared." "You might back a bad move." "You ever read the Bible, Dan?" "I read it one time." "I was eight years old." "My daddy just got hisself killed over a shot of whiskey, and my mama said, "We're going back East to start over."" "So she gave me a Bible, sat me down in the train station, told me to read it." "She was gonna get our tickets." "Well, I did what she said." "I read that Bible from cover to cover." "It took me three days." "She never came back." "[CHURCH BELL TOLLS]" "[BELL TOLLS]" "[BELL TOLLS]" "It's time." "[DOOR SLAMS]" "[LATCH CLICKS]" "It's a half mile to the station from here, Dan." "I guess we're walking." "There he is!" "Go and flush him out!" "Let's get to it!" "Lucky." "Dan." "Thanks." "Move!" "[GUNSHOTS]" "Come on!" "Might not get a chance to use those Scofields, Charlie." "Perhaps you can explain to me the next portion of your plan, Dan." "MAN:" "I think I got him!" "Hey." "Hey!" "Not the black hat!" "The rancher, you dumb-shits!" "The rancher!" "The ranch" "Charlie!" "Get back!" "Get back!" "Get back!" "Boss." "Boss!" "Let's go." "The white door." "Move it!" "[HORSE NEIGHS]" "All right." "I ain't doing this no more, Dan." "[DOOR OPENS]" "I'm getting you on that train, Wade." "Your son went back!" "The boy's gone, hero." "Ain't nobody watching no more." "You still got that one good leg." "Why don't you use it to get on home?" "Charlie!" "Charlie Prince!" "Yeah, Boss!" "Hold your fire." "I'm walking out." "CHARLIE:" "Hold your fire!" "I ain't never been no hero, Wade." "The only battle I seen, we was in retreat." "My foot got shot off by one of my own men." "You try telling that story to your boy." "See how he looks at you then." "CHARLIE:" "Boss!" "Boss!" "Okay, Dan." "Son." "They're on the roofs!" "They're on the roofs!" "Boss!" "Boss!" "Drop!" "Can you make this?" "Yeah." "Come on." "Come on!" "Go!" "Run!" "Spread out!" "[GUNSHOTS]" "What time is it?" "About 10 past 3." "Where's the 3:10 to Yuma?" "Running late, I suppose." "How late?" "[GLASS SHATTERING]" "Beats me." "Gets here when it gets here." "Goddamn trains." "Never can rely on 'em, huh?" "MAN:" "By the window!" "[MOOING]" "[GUNSHOTS]" "You know..." "[PANTING]" "I ain't stubborn." "Excuse me?" "You said I was stubborn for keeping my family on a dying ranch." "It's my son Mark." "The young one?" "He got tuberculosis when we was 2." "The doctor said he'd die if he didn't have a dry climate, so" "Why are you telling me this?" "I don't know." "I guess I just... wanted you to know that I ain't stubborn is all." "[CATTLE MOOING]" "WADE:" "Well, as long as we're making confessions" "DAN:" "Yeah?" "I've been to Yuma Prison before." "Twice." "Escaped twice, too." "[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS]" "[BELL TOLLING]" "First car, sliding door." "They'll be coming!" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Yeah." "I got a prisoner to go to Yuma!" "Well, you did it, Dan." "No!"
