"Can you give me a good reason why I shouldn't let them deal with you?" "Yeah, I can only think of one." "I'm not stupid enough to have known what she was gonna do." "Still, it's your responsibility, you brought her here." "For a good reason!" "At least I thought it was a good reason!" "Oh, you thought so, eh?" "Well, now, let me tell you something." "Mr. Heyes is innocent." "And so am I." "Why didn't you tell us this in the first place?" "Why do you think you had to lie to us?" "Because I was afraid someone would warn him." "I don't care what you do with me now." "Heyes, stay with her." "Make her as comfortable as possible." "I'II be back." "I'm sorry." "But I would do it again if I had to." "I believe you." "NARRA TOR:" "Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry, the two most successful outlaws in the history of the West." "And in all the trains and banks they robbed, they never shot anyone." "This made our two Iatter-day Robin Hoods very popular with everyone but the railroads and the banks." "CURRY:" "There's one thing we gotta get, Heyes." "HEYES.' What's that?" "CURRY:" "Out of this business." "LOM:" "The governor can't come flat out and give you amnesty now." "First, you gotta prove you deserve it." "Ah, so all we have to do is just stay out of trouble till the governor figures we deserve amnesty." "But in the meantime, we'll still be wanted." "LOM:" "Well, that's true." "Till then, only you, me and the governor will know about it." "It'II be our secret." "(GUN FIRING)" "CURRY:" "I sure wish the governor would let a few more people in on our secret." "NARRATOR:" "Alias Smith and Jones, starring Pete Duel and Ben Murphy." "Ain't you folks a bit previous?" "To what, sir?" "Well, the stagecoach ain't due here for a couple days yet." "Oh?" "This is a chartered stagecoach." "CARLTON:" "Garden City, Mrs. Phillips." "Where's the hotel?" "(CHUCKLING) Right over there, where it says, "Hotel."" "Would you Iike all yourthings brought in, ma'am?" "You just see to the horses, Carlton, and worry about my things when I tell you to." "Yes, ma'am." "May I be of service, madam?" "Yes." "You have a Mr. Smith staying here." "Would you tell him Mrs. Phillips is waiting in the lobby?" "Yes, indeed, ma'am." "That would be Mr. Furnifold Smith?" "That would be Mr. Joshua Smith." "We don't have a Joshua Smith." "Well, I was told he was staying here at this hotel." "I'm terribly sorry." "He usually travels with a Mr. Jones." "A Mr. Thaddeus Jones, I believe." "Oh, that Mr. Smith." "Yes, we had them for a while." "They said they were looking for work." "Mostly, they spent their time playing poker." "And they left?" "For where?" "I can't tell you exactly." "It was middle ofthe night." "Theyjust paid their bill and left." "They were, shall we say, a most unusual pair." "Have you any idea which way they went?" "West." "They rode off heading west." "CLARA:" "Joshua Smith!" "Well, he might be staying here." "Then again, he might not." "Oh." "Well, that's very generous of you, ma'am, but it's a rule ofthe house to regard folks' privacy, especially when they ask for it special." "Well, I respect that regard, sir, but Mr. Smith is my brother and I've just traveled 100 miles to see him." "Oh." "Well, in that case, he's usually across the street at the saloon, playing cards." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Forgive me." "Yes?" "But it's been such a long time since I've seen my dear brother." "What does he look like?" "CARLTON:" "Mr. Smith?" "You are Mr. Smith, Joshua Smith?" "Who would Iike to know?" "C.R. Phillips." "I don't know him." "Not sure I want to." "Mrs. Phillips is most anxious to have a few words with you." "I am authorized to offer you $100 gold if you accompany me right now." "Where to?" "Mrs. Phillips's suite at the hotel." "You wouldn't know anything about this?" "I'm not authorized to discuss it, sir." "I presume you are authorized to lead the way." "Oh, yes." "(KNOCKING)" "Mr. Smith, Mrs. Phillips." "Thank you, Carlton." "I won't be needing you anymore this evening." "Are you quite sure, madam?" "Quite sure." "Good night." "Thank you." "This may come as a surprise to you, but to save time, let me tell you that I know you." "Well, ma'am, if we'd met before, believe me, I'd remember." "Well, what I meant to say is I know of you." "You're Mr. Heyes." "Hannibal Heyes." "And you're wanted by the Iaw." "Well, that explains a lot." "I knew you had me mixed up with somebody else." "But everyone makes mistakes, no harm done." "Mr. Heyes, I need you desperately." "Lom Trevors, the sheriff at Porterville, told me where to find you." "(CLICKING)" "If you're looking for a gun, you won't find any." "Now that should convince you that I'm not interested in the 10,000 on your head." "Mrs. Phillips," "Lom Trevors doesn't know where I am." "And if he did, he wouldn't go spreading it around to every passing stranger." "So unless you have a very good reason for taking up my time," "I'II just be on my way." "Mr. Heyes, Mr. Heyes." "I want you to save my husband's life." "How's that?" "Well, it started with a shooting, a business quarrel between my husband and his partner." "My husband ran away to escape the charge of murder, only, the partner he thought he killed didn't die, and so all the charges were dropped." "Well, that sounds like real good news." "Well, except that he's still running." "He still thinks he's a fugitive, and I must get word to him before he does something desperate." "Well, I appreciate your problem, but I don't see how I can..." "Mr. Heyes, my husband has taken refuge in Devil's Hole." "Oh." "Well, you have got a problem." "If your husband is in Devil's Hole, the United States Cavalry couldn't get to him, let alone a woman." "But it's a well-known fact that Sheriff Lom Trevors was once on the other side ofthe law." "Now, I reason that if anybody wanted to penetrate an outlaw stronghold, it would have to be someone who knows outlaws." "Yes, and he knows some ofthe worst." "Yes, I know." "He sent me to you." "Mrs. Phillips," "I don't know what you or Lom expect, but even if I could get a message in to Devil's Hole..." "Mr. Heyes, there's only one way we're gonna convince my husband that he's free to come out." "You're going to have to take me to him." "Do you have any idea what you're asking?" "Now, Devil's Hole is a hideout for outlaws, and some ofthose..." "I can make it well worth your while." "Because we need the money, that's why." "The law's watching every trail into that place." "You know me, Kid, any sign oftrouble and I move like a whip snake." "Heyes, there's only one thing been keeping you alive all this time." "And what's that?" "Me." "Instead of letting me help, you're gonna be dragging a woman along with you." "Well, that's an improvement, isn't it?" "AII right." "AII right, so you're set on going." "At least let me go along with you." "Kid, may I remind you, the only reason we came to this town was to meet up with Colonel Harper." "And if one of us isn't here when he shows up, he's gonna give those two high-paying jobs to someone else." "You ask me, he ain't even coming." "I think he was half drunk when he made us that offer in the first place." "Kid, I'm going, and you're staying." "It'Il be the easiest1,000 we ever picked up." "AII right." "Suit yourself, Heyes." "It's your neck." "Kid." "She gave me this money to bind the deal." "You might as well hold it." "Go on." "Won't do me much good between here and Devil's Hole." "CLARA:" "This can't be the best trail." "HEYES:" "No, ma'am." "The law uses the best trail." "CLARA:" "What do they call this part ofthe country?" "HEYES:" "To tell you the truth," "I've always passed through here in such a hurry I never have time to ask." "CLARA:" "Why did you become an outlaw?" "HEYES:" "As long as this trip is, ma'am," "I still wouldn't have time to explain that to you, or even me." "What did Sheriff Trevors tell you?" "What makes you think he told me anything?" "I figure a woman doesn't ride off alone with a desperate outlaw unless she's got a wildcard tucked away someplace." "He said I could trust you." "I decided I didn't have any other choice." "I'm desperate, too." "HEYES:" "Both desperate?" "And I was beginning to think we didn't have anything in common." "Now we're getting into what they call Devil's Hole." "He owns it, but he don't live here." "How interesting." "A lot of people like it this way." "I can't imagine why." "Well, they figure if it was any prettier, it would attract a decent element." "CLARA:" "Why have we stopped here?" "HAYES:" "So I can point out to you that this is your last chance to turn back." "I have no intention ofturning back." "I know." "Why'd you fire your gun?" "So they won't fire theirs." "Who is it?" "Well, I can't tell yet." "CLARA:" "I don't see anybody." "And you won't." "That doesn't mean they aren't there." "From here on, you do exactly as I say." "Don't make any sudden moves or do anything that might be misunderstood." "Is that clear?" "Clear." "Right." "KYLE:" "Something don't smell right." "You'd better flash Lobo." "Lobo." "What?" "Somebody's coming." "LOBO:" "Well, it's just Monahan with supplies." "Uh-uh." "Kyle's flashing." "Maybe it's some more ofthem new boys Big Jim sent for." "That can't be." "The last ofthem rode in yesterday." "Mr. Heyes..." "Shh." "Aren't you being slightly melodramatic?" "I mean, they know you." "Yeah, and they know I went to make peace with the law, too." "I figure they'll treat me kind of cautious." "I don't blame them." "You shouldn't worry over it too much." "They never shoot ladies." "You mean, outlaws do have a code of honor?" "No, they have a shortage of ladies." "Can't be." "KYLE:" "It's Hannibal Heyes hisself." "And he brung a woman with him." "MATTSON:" "AII I can say is, he don't know Big Jim is back." "LOBO:" "Big Jim ain't gonna like this." "Good to see you, Kyle." "KYLE:" "Good to see you, Heyes." "Got yourself a real nice woman there, Heyes." "She's here on business, Kyle." "Oh, ain't we all." "Get the firearms." "You know the rules." "Faces change, but rules stay the same." "What do you plan to do with that?" "Trying to cover your eyes." "What for?" "For your own good." "Hold still." "It does my heart good to see old Wheat's keeping up my standards of discipline." "Wheat ain't here, Heyes." "Well, if Wheat's gone, who's running things?" "Well, the same man who ran things before you did." "Big Jim Santana." "What does he mean?" "Who is he?" "You can take the blindfold off now." "Ha, ha!" "Amigo!" "Hey, boys, Hannibal Heyes is back!" "Jim, I don't think you understand." "When I got back and you weren't here, you just don't know how disappointed I was." "But we'll talk about that later, eh?" "Just the two of us." "Boys, head for the canteen." "We have something to celebrate." "And the drinks are on me." "Jim, now, look." "I don't think you understand..." "Later, Heyes." "I said we'll talk about it later." "Just now, we have to attend to your lady friend's comfort." "After all, she is here." "There's nothing we can do about that, not just now." "Miss..." "Mrs. Phillips." "Mrs. Phillips, Jim Santana." "How do you do?" "Very pleased to meet you, Mrs. Phillips." "Lobo!" "Lobo, see that the lady gets set up in the back room." "Sure thing." "I'II join you soon." "I have a couple ofthings to talk over with Jim." "I'd Iike to explain to you why I broke the rules and brought a woman up here, Jim." "Hannibal, that is one ofthe questions on my mind." "Let's go inside and talk about it." "AII right, let's get down to business, eh?" "Hey. you all right?" "Hey." "Heyes." "Yeah, yeah." "What was that for?" "For not letting me know you were coming here." "Did it ever occur to you I might not have known you were here, Jim?" "Yeah, yeah, it occurred to me." "But you know how I operate." "I want to know things for certain." "Well, now I know for certain that you know who is once again running things in Devil's Hole." "Now, when you feel better, we'll talk about you bringing that woman here." "If you'd let me explain about that woman outside like I wanted to, we could have saved both of us a lot of pain." "Both of us?" "I don't feel any pain." "Unless you mean, of course, the mental anguish of... (GRUNTS)" "Thanks." "You're welcome." "Now, why don't we get down to business, Iike you were saying?" "So I can get out of here." "What do you mean, out of here?" "You just got here." "I came here on account ofthe woman, Mrs. Phillips." "We're here to take her husband home." "Tall, dark-haired, broad-shouldered, blue eyes and very handsome." "And you're sure he came here?" "Well, the Bannerman Detective Agency tracked him for eight months." "They're certain he came here." "Mrs. Phillips, if everybody was here that Bannerman claims," "Devil's Hole would be the biggest state in the Union." "You mean, there's no one here answering that description?" "Oh, on the contrary, I can think of nine, maybe 10 of my men, just offhand." "Aly Johnson, Monte Hoyt, Hamilton." "(GUN FIRING)" "Hamilton?" "Yeah?" "Hannibal Heyes just rode in." "And he brung you a surprise." "What kind of a surprise?" "Your wife." "Hey, that is a surprise." "I don't have a wife." "JIM:" "Those stories about you giving up are not true, are they?" "They're true." "Times have really changed since you've been gone." "Well, I know times change, and we change with the times." "It's part ofthe progress." "Well, that's what I did." "I progressed right out ofthe business." "Oh, amigo!" "To leave a sanctuary like this, one that no Iawman was ever able to enter." "To wander around the country, one jump ahead of every posse, every sheriff in the state." "That's not progress, that's insane." "I can see we're gonna have to have another talk." "Yes, I think so." "(KNOCKING AT DOOR)" "Hamilton, this is your lucky day." "HAYES:" "Give me that, what..." "Now take him to the bunkhouse." "See what Haller can do for him." "Well, it looks like you accomplished what you set out to." "Heyes!" "You know, Iwould rather she would have shot me, than any of my men." "Can you give me a good reason why I shouldn't let them deal with you?" "Yeah, I can only think of one." "I'm not stupid enough to have known what she was gonna do." "Still, it's your responsibility." "You brought her here." "For a good reason, at least I thought it was a good reason." "Oh, you thought so, eh?" "Well, now, let me tell you something." "Mr. Heyes is innocent." "And so am I." "He isn't my husband." "He was a man who came to San Francisco nearly a year ago." "And there he met a very lovely, innocent 17-year-old girl." "And she thought he was a storybook knight in shining armor, and she ran off with him." "And then he left her, with a child, abandoned her." "She was my daughter." "And she took her own life." "Why didn't you tell us this in the first place?" "Why do you think you had to lie to us?" "Because I was afraid someone would warn him." "And I wanted to kill him." "I don't care what you do with me now." "Heyes, stay with her." "Make her as comfortable as possible." "I'II be back." "I'm sorry." "But I would do it again if I had to." "I believe you." "Would you Iike a drink?" "No, thank you." "If you don't mind, I'II have one." "(SIGHS)" "What's going to happen now?" "I thought you just said you didn't care." "I mean, what's going to happen to you?" "You pick a fine time to start worrying about me." "Would you have come if I'd told you the truth?" "No." "You may not believe this, but outlaws, most ofthem anyway, have a pretty high regard for the jury system." "It's too easy for ajury to be fooled by a man as good with words as Matt Hamilton was." "You're not bad with words yourself." "You don't believe me?" "I didn't say that." "Ijust haven't had time to stop believing the first story you told me." "(DOOR OPENS)" "We've been fortunate." "Hamilton is not dead." "We'll be able to hear his side ofthe story." "You don't believe me either." "Oh, I believe you, Mrs. Phillips, but I want to hear Hamilton's story from his own lips before I finish what you've started." "How is he?" "He's coming around, but that's quite a bump he's got." "A bump?" "Yeah, one shot missed him clean and when he took the other one in his shoulder, he must've hit the wall and knocked hisself out." "Hmm." "Could be he just fainted." "(THUDDING)" "Feeling all right?" "I will when you've convinced me that you've got that crazy woman put away." "From what I hear, she may have cause to be a little crazy." "Cause?" "To go wandering around with a sleeve gun, shooting up innocent Strangers?" "You may be innocent, but you're no stranger." "She came here looking for you." "Before she goes back, you may wish she had killed you." "What are you talking about?" "What kind of a story did she tell you, anyway?" "She says that you seduced her 17-year-old daughter and then treated the girl so bad she killed herself." "She doesn't have a daughter!" "Never did." "She was married to one man for 12 years." "They never had any children." "You're calling the lady aliar?" "You bet that's what I'm calling her." "The whole story is a pack of lies from start to finish." "I met her in San Francisco." "I spent a lot oftime with her." "But then I got tired of her and I left town." "Go on." "That's it." "That was the end of it?" "That was the end of it." "Hamilton," "I came here to give you a chance to tell the truth." "That's the best you can do?" "I'm telling you the truth." "You don't know me very well, do you?" "When I say I demand honesty from my men above all else, that is exactly what I mean." "Now, I've heard two stories, yours and the woman's." "If you expect me to believe she came all the way here to kill you just because you denied her your charms," "I think you have another bullet coming." "Come on, Heyes." "Let's give the lady her gun and go on to more important things, huh?" "Wait, wait." "There is a little more." "When I left her, I..." "I took $25,000 of her jewelry with me." "(SNICKERS)" "One ofthem is Iying." "Oh, at least one." "HEYES:" "He says you're aliar." "Well, what do you expect a man like that to say?" "Mrs. Phillips, someone is Iying." "That leaves me with a problem." "You see, in my business, I have to have faith in my men, and my men must have faith in me." "Without it, we don't..." "Well, we don't have a chance." "Now, Hamilton is gonna be working for me." "I must know if I can trust him." "Honor among thieves?" "You could say that." "The point is, I want the truth, and I'm going to get it." "Is he threatening me, Mr. Heyes?" "Jim is not the kind of man who would threaten a lady, Mrs. Phillips." "Unless he really means it." "That's right." "Now, a lady as sentimental as you are, surely you must have a photograph of your daughter." "Yes, Mr. Heyes told me, though, to leave everything behind at the hotel I didn't need, and that's what I did." "I do recall saying something like that." "Mmm-hmm." "Then you do have a photograph in the hotel?" "Yes." "It's in a large leather trunk inside a very small cameo brooch." "I'II send for it." "Heyes?" "No, Jim." "JIM:" "To a swift and safe return." "HEYES:" "Thanks." "Now, look, I'm serious." "If there was some misfortune, you get yourself killed while you are away, this would delay my plan by several days." "You don't have to be so emotional about it." "Well, you are the one who thinks riding around the countryside being an honest man is smart." "I didn't say it was smart." "I said it was a whole lot better than this." "Besides, it's only temporary." "Hannibal, I am going to talk some sense into that young head of yours." "I hope you have enough brains to listen." "Now, the whole point of our having this little talk was me talking some sense into your head." "That amnesty arrangement." "How long do you have to continue hiding from the law, living like a gypsy?" "Until I prove to the Governor that I can lead an honest life, and look who's talking." "Ha, this is different with me." "Soon I'm going to be in one ofthose beach countries in South America." "Sun, music, women, wine, and more money than I can spend in a lifetime." "If you're so smart, why did you waste your seven years in prison?" "L didn't." "You learned a trade?" "Planned ajob." "You're hopeless." "Now, wait a minute, this is not just ajob." "This is the job." "Yeah." "You see, I knewthings had changed outside." "I also knew that when I came out, I had to do one big job." "One big one." "The biggest the Devil's Hole Gang ever did." "Then I could retire, and that's what you should do." "By the time you get through splitting with all the extra men you brought in on this job, you won't have enough money left for boat fare." "I don't care how big the job is." "You think there is enough money in the Wells Fargo Clearing House?" "The Wells Fargo Clearing House?" "The big one in Denver?" "Right." "Interested?" "I am not interested." "You are not, then you are crazy." "That's what you are, you're loco." "Oh, no." "No, I am not crazy." "You're crazy, Big Jim, and you want to know why?" "I'm gonna tell you why." "Because if I walk around on eggshells for better than a whole year, ifl manage to duck out of the way of every passing Iawman, and if, just if, nobody up at the state capitol happens to change their mind, then, and not until then," "I'II have worked my way up to where you are right now!" "(EXCLAIMS)" "Oh, no!" "Good night." "Don't bother to see me off in the morning." "I believe you need the rest." "You're not thinking too clearly." "(GUN FIRING)" "(GAsPS)" "You know, that's what I Iike about you, Clara." "You are so stubborn, so determined." "Now you listen to me." "I'm not gonna let you kill that man, understand?" "Not here." "HEYES:" "I appreciate your cooperation, Carlton." "You know, I had a feeling the first time we met that you didn't trust me and I didn't know whether you'd go along with Mrs. Phillips's note or not." "Did you find what you were looking for?" "Yeah, I guess you could say I found it." "JIM:" "Now, now, now, relax." "You're too tense." "CLARA:" "You seem to be far more patient than I." "Well, one thing a man learns in prison is patience." "Why'd you become an outlaw?" "Something to do with my family being cheated out of our lands in New Mexico." "I suppose I inherited a certain disregard for the Iaw." "Your father must have been a hot-blooded Latin." "(LAUGHING) No, no, he was a very gentle man." "No, it was my mother who could out-yell the Apaches." "She was Irish." "Did prison change your regard for the law?" "It changed my regard for prison." "Well, then why don't you leave this life?" "No, no." "It's not easy for a man to start all over again." "I'm not getting any younger." "Oh, my husband started at a very late age." "Your husband?" "Yes." "He died two years ago." "He was very successful." "We used to travel everywhere together." "You mean, you and your husband and your daughter?" "Yes." "He was a wonderful man." "Almost like a father to me." "Your husband was like a father to you?" "In many ways he was." "He was older than I am." "And I was only 16 when we were married." "I was quite lost when he died." "Then you were alone when this thing happened with Hamilton?" "Very much." "I feel like I've been half out of my mind until now, in these past few days." "I'm sorry if I've caused you any grief." "You've been very kind, and I don't deserve it." "I guess you bring out the father in me, too." "(SPLASHING)" "Ha!" "That's it!" "There he is, now, easy." "Huh?" "Easy_" "Bring it in slowly, carefully, eh?" "(SCREAMS) That's it!" "Lady, you have a most unusual way of catching fish." "You really do." "Howdy, Heyes." "Howdy, Kyle." "I see you're back." "Yeah." "(DOOR OPENS)" "JIM:" "Have any trouble?" "No." "Lady is real good at giving directions." "I found the trunk." "I found the brooch inside." "The picture." "Did you get the picture?" "Yeah, I got the picture." "May I see it?" "I don't get it." "You haven't been paying attention." "Mrs. Phillips has been lying to us like a Shanghai sailor." "You don't have a picture of your daughter?" "I have four pictures of her." "They're very precious to me." "They're in the safety deposit box in San Francisco." "JIM:" "Then why didn't you say so?" "Why do you have to go on lying to me?" "HEYES:" "To buy time, of course." "She wanted to get herself another shot at Mr. Hamilton." "Mr. Heyes is right." "I did want another shot at him, and since I've lost, I'm now ready to go." "Then you're still saying that the story you told me about Hamilton is true?" "Yes, it is." "(SIGHS)" "(GUN FIRING)" "Let me know when you want me to set up a fresh log." "Funny, very funny." "You still planning on going through with it?" "Listen, the secret of my job has always been the planning, not the shooting." "I was hoping you might have had time to think over what I'd said." "As a matter of fact, I did." "And?" "I hate to admit it, but you made a lot of sense." "Now, the woman made a lot of sense, too." "We had a chance to talk awhile while you were gone." "Now, what's a woman for, if not to influence a man?" "Did she influence you?" "I made a decision." "I don't want to go back to jail." "You know, Iwould like to see what James O'Finn Santana can accomplish in his remaining years." "Yeah, I'm proud of you already, Jim." "(JIM CHUCKLES)" "Unfortunately, I have to do this job." "I brought a lot of men here with the promise of a big fortune." "Without me, they couldn't do the job." "Jim, they're all good men." "Well, they're all men, anyway." "Now, if you level with them, I'm sure they'd understand." "Now, tell me, amigo, if you've ridden 1,000 miles with the promise of a fortune, would you be understanding, huh?" "Let's not give up." "Maybe I can think of something." "Yeah, and it better be good." "I'm out." "Buy me." "Thanks a lot, boys." "Well, I was just wondering when you were going to get by and join our little game, Heyes." "Yeah, pull up a chair, Heyes." "I'm busted out, anyway." "No thanks, Lobo." "To tell you the truth, boys, Ijust come to talk to you." "Sure thing." "What's on your mind?" "Well..." "Hey, listen up over there." "Heyes has got something to tell us." "Well, I might as well come right out with it." "You all know that Big Jim has spent seven years getting even with the Iaw." "Now, most of you are still wanted, so you haven't got that much to lose." "But Big Jim's got everything to lose." "So if you're gonna get mad at anybody, you might as well get mad at me 'cause I talked Big Jim into quitting." "He's going to be leaving with me tomorrow." "Well, I hope you'rejoking, Heyes." "No, I'm leveling with you." "'Cause I knew that's the way you'd want it, boys." "I think you miscalculated." "I came all the way from Dakota for this job." "And I think I'd Iike to hear what Big Jim has to say about this before I get feeling real mean." "Well, as a matter of fact..." "JIM:" "As a matter of fact, it's a good idea." "Apparently, I got here just in time to clear up a big misunderstanding." "Yes, it is true that I plan to quit." "What?" "Can't be!" "After, after we empty the Wells Fargo Clearing House in Denver, Colorado." "(ALL LAUGHING)" "I want everyone here first thing in the morning to discuss the plan." "Now, Lobo, I hold you responsible to see that these men get enough sleep." "I want everyone sharp, because we're ready to move." "Now, is that clear?" "They'II be in bed by 10:00 if I take an ax handle to them." "Good." "Oh, I..." "I have some bad news." "My friend Heyes here won't be able to join us." "He's got to remove a certain lady from our camp." "If not, were gonna have to take her with us on the job." "(ALL LAUGHING)" "AII right." "Good night, gentlemen." "Good night, boys." "Night." "JIM:" "Good night." "Do you boys see what I see?" "Well, what do you see?" "About the biggest double cross ever." "So you're not gonna listen to me." "You're really determined to just throw it all away?" "Yeah." "The plan I spent seven years working out in infinite detail," "I'm going to throw it all away." "Huh?" "Huh?" "But the way I saw it, there was no chance those boys would send me off into my new life with anything but a bouquet of bullets." "No, no, we have to find some other way to get out." "MERKLE:" "Well, now, we can't make him tell us the plan if he don't want to." "Unless we use the woman as a hostage." "Big Jim seems to have a special interest in her." "That's the dirtiest trick I've ever heard of." "But I Iike it." "(ALL LAUGHING)" "MERKLE: (WHISPERING) Jim and Heyes are in that room." "The girl's in that room over there." "Ready?" "Ready." "HEYES:" "They're all inside." "Let's go." "(HORSES DEPARTING)" "Get them!" "(MAN WHISTLES)" "Have you seen Hamilton?" "Matt Hamilton?" "No, he ain't been by this way." "Well, keep your eyes open!" "I want him stopped!" "(HORSES APPROACHING)" "(MEN CHATTERING)" "Hold it!" "Anybody come this way?" "No, nobody but Heyes and Big Jim and that woman." "Hey, isn't that Hamilton with... (GUN FIRING)" "They done passed Deadline Point." "There's no sense in us going on now." "Look, I know you have to go, but there's something I must know." "It's of no great importance other than..." "Well, it will drive me crazy if you don't tell me." "Now, what about..." "What about you and Hamilton?" "Oh, Jim." "I'm sure Mr. Hamilton is a terrible liar, because I know he's a terrible man and a thief." "I met him in San Francisco a few months after I lost the only man I ever loved." "I guess I was what they call vulnerable." "But I thought I had fallen in love with him, and then one day he vanished with $25,000 worth of myjewels." "I guess that makes me aliar, too." "Because I never did have a daughter." "Yeah." "Well, that's good." "That makes me feel better." "Now I can be at peace." "Now you can be at peace?" "That's right." "Standing here knowing I'm going to get on that stagecoach and ride out of your life, you can be at peace?" "I'm disappointed." "What are you trying to say to me, Clara?" "Hmm?" "Nothing." "Except, a man like you..." "Have you ever been to San Francisco?" "San Francisco?" "No, no." "I..." "I never got that far west." "Well, Jim, Ithink you and San Francisco are made for each other." "Well, now, do you know of any transportation heading that way in the next couple of minutes?" "Joshua, here is your money." "Thank you very much." "You're welcome." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "Goodbye, Mr. Jones." "Ma'am." "Gentlemen, I'm leaving, too." "Mr. Smith, thank you." "You did me a big favor." "I won't forget it." "You're welcome, Jim." "Goodbye." "Bye, now." "Bye, now." "Goodbye." "CURRY:" "You know, Heyes, I think we did a whole lot better by Big Jim than we did by ourselves." "HAYES:" "I don't know." "I think we have a very good and important friend in San Francisco now, if we ever get into serious trouble."
