[00:02:04]>> Well, then start walking.

[00:02:06]>> It's your railroad now. You got to get us out of here.

[00:02:09]>> I've got to find a killer. We tried. We didn't even find a footprint.

[00:02:13]>> We hunted Ben, but there wasn't anything. It's just noises. Fires that disappeared and we looked for them.

[00:02:20]Tracks right up the side of a cliff.

[00:02:21]Whatever it is, it's just not real.

[00:02:24]Well, these three bodies are real.

[00:02:27]First thing we're going to do is bury him. Then I'm going to find out who killed him. Now, you either go along with it or get out.

[00:02:43]All right, Mr. Calhoun.

[00:04:00]>> [music] [music] >> No tracks, no marks, no nothing. [music] You're wrong. There's a feeling of what?

[00:04:26]It's kind of like walking into a bear's cave. If there's no bear in there, it's just a hole in the rock. So, he's in there waiting.

[00:04:37]We split up here. You going up that way.

[00:04:40]I'm going to [music] check back over in here. If anything moves, you shoot it.

[00:11:20]All right, boys. They're out now. Thank you.

[00:11:36]He's alive. Just will he live.

[00:11:41]>> No reason why he should, but he will.

[00:11:48]What happened?

[00:11:50]Looks like he tangled with a grizzly.

[00:11:52]>> It was a man.

[00:11:54]>> What?

[00:11:59]I found this alongside of him to a faithful scout, cougar man, from an appreciative commander, General Walter A. Rutled Fort Wuka, November 11th, 1872.

[00:12:23]>> I can't help you.

[00:12:27]>> You're the best scout the army's got. If you can't, who can?

[00:12:29]>> Somebody else.

[00:12:34]I ain't up to it no more.

[00:12:38]All I want is what I got. Quiet post, regular pay.

[00:12:44]some broken down or rap a whole scouts to boss around.

[00:12:48]I don't want no part of cougar man.

[00:12:51]He's a ghost.

[00:12:55]Ghost from a time when I was young.

[00:12:59]When I thought I was a man to be reckoned with.

[00:13:04]I don't like you, Calhoun.

[00:13:07]I don't like you for telling me Cougar Man's alive. for reminding me that I'd be scared.

[00:13:14]A long time ago when the army took old chief Nachiti.

[00:13:19]>> I understand he betrayed Niti.

[00:13:21]>> No sir.

[00:13:23]No sir. That's a story for the newspapers.

[00:13:28]Cougar man brought Chief Niti in to talk peace under a white flag.

[00:13:34]The army took the old man and shipped him off to a prison in a Florida swamp.

[00:13:41]He went cursing Cougar Man. Died there cursing him.

[00:13:47]Cougar man carries that curse and he's making the wide eyes pay for it. Now you ready to fight all that?

[00:13:55]I have to. And if you don't want to believe what I'm telling you, come on in here with me.

[00:14:08]Come on.

[00:14:17]>> [music] >> Cougar man lives.

[00:14:27]>> I'll need help to find him.

[00:14:29]>> Who are you that hunts a ghost?

[00:14:31]>> He's not a ghost. He is sacred. He's an Apache.

[00:14:36]Since when did an Apache become sacred to an Arapjo?

[00:14:41]>> He is more than an Apache.

[00:14:44]You will go.

[00:14:45]>> Why is he more? What makes him so big?

[00:14:47]Why is he different than other men?

[00:14:56]>> He is all the world's misery in the soul of one man.

[00:15:04]To see him is to grow [music] ill.

[00:15:12]>> To touch him is to [music] wither.

[00:15:22]>> To fight him is to die.

[00:15:29]My partner fought him. He's not dead.

[00:15:32]That is not for me to [music] know.

[00:15:49]>> [music] [music] >> Mr. to Calhoun.

[00:16:21]I will help you find cougar man.

[00:16:30][music] [music] One drink and then business.

[00:17:31]I know all about the great Calhoun and your mighty iron horse.

[00:17:40]What about this cougar man?

[00:17:44]>> Cougar man is at war with all men, with all men's gods. He has made his own brand of honor. He has lived by it just as he must die by it.

[00:18:01]Why you pursue Kar man?

[00:18:06]Cuz he killed five of my men.

[00:18:09]Yes, I will tell you how to find him because it will be the end of your mighty iron horse.

[00:18:20]More whites will not come.

[00:18:23]It is cougar man I help because it is he who will kill you.

[00:18:34]Heat.

[00:18:53]Heat.

[00:19:14]Heat.

[00:19:22]Heat.

[00:19:49]>> [music] [music] [music] >> Heat. Heat.

[00:20:07][music] >> [music] [music] [music] >> Suppose he does understand the message like the man who talks said. How's he going to accept? You'll find a way to tell me.

[00:20:44]>> Tell you, Ben? The man's an animal. You can't talk to him.

[00:20:47]>> Well, I have to. But >> Ben, that's what man who talks wants you to do. He wants Cougar Man to get his hands on you.

[00:20:55]>> That's not exactly the way I've got it planned.

[00:20:57]>> What do you mean?

[00:20:59]>> Once he accepts my challenge, there'll be a short truce and allow me to get up into the Sheba Rock Country where Cougar Man lives.

[00:21:06]>> That doesn't make any sense to me, >> Ben. The Chiba Rock Country is 200 miles of desolation. The man who talked tells you exactly where you can find Cougar Man.

[00:21:16]>> He didn't have to tell me. Once I'm up in those rocks, Cougar Man will find me.

[00:21:27]>> Hold your fire. Hold your fire. He's gone.

[00:21:34][music] Ellie accepted the challenge.

[00:21:48]Put that light back on. It's me he's after.

[00:21:51]>> Why didn't he just shoot you?

[00:21:53]>> Yeah, he didn't throw a spear at Johnson Wilson and the others. Benny could kill you. And you're going to go out there and let him do it.

[00:21:59]>> You going after him tonight?

[00:22:01]>> Going after him right now. Not going to give him time to get set.

[00:22:06]>> I'll saddle your horse. No, I'm going on foot >> on his terms in his territory.

[00:22:14]>> Same rules apply to both of us. Dave, >> man who talks believes that when Cougar Man ends his curse by dying that the world is going to freeze over for the Indian.

[00:22:25]>> You believe that?

[00:22:27]>> I don't, but the Indians do. They also believe that when the railroads finished that it'll seal off the migratory route of the buffalo to the north.

[00:22:37]thereby put an end to the greatest hunting grounds in this part of the country. That happens, it'll be a long, cold winter.

[00:22:52][music] Yes.

[00:25:11]>> Man who talks so that you could kill me.

[00:25:16]>> Isa, tomorrow when truce is over and hunting begins, I will kill you.

[00:25:26]Last night I prayed I asked great father give you skill worthy of your courage.

[00:25:35]>> Get on with it.

[00:25:37]>> Did man who talks teach you how to die.

[00:25:43]>> I didn't know there was but one way.

[00:25:45]>> There are many ways.

[00:25:48]I have seen them all.

[00:25:50]>> All but one. Yours.

[00:25:54]>> What is your name?

[00:25:57]Calhoun. Huh? Ben Calhoun.

[00:26:01]>> Calhoun.

[00:26:06]Those were your men. I killed.

[00:26:09]They were.

[00:26:11]They all had one face, Khun.

[00:26:15]Cursing me.

[00:26:18]End it if you can. Khun.

[00:26:23]I am cursed.

[00:31:28]Why do you break the truth?

[00:31:32]>> What do you mean?

[00:31:34]>> The trap. The falling rock.

[00:31:39]To keep you honest.

[00:31:41]You broke the truce when you came after me.

[00:31:45]I'm not here to play a game.

[00:31:48]>> You will play the game before you die.

[00:31:54]Kahun, >> what do you want?

[00:31:59]>> How many kills do they give me?

[00:32:03]>> The legend says 500.

[00:32:22]I want to kill that general.

[00:32:27]Grandandy said for me to tell you that the Chitty died in prison.

[00:32:41]I cheat.

[00:33:14]>> Obey your customs.

[00:33:16]>> To kill me, you will obey the customs as I will to kill you.

[00:33:24]>> Why?

[00:33:26]Why all this killing?

[00:33:31]All those dead.

[00:51:05]What do you want with this stuff?

[00:51:35]Alcohol, ether, and nitrate to fix you right up.

[00:51:41]Not getting skittish, are you?

[00:51:44]I'll drink it if you will.

[00:51:51]>> I hope that guarantees a quick man.

[00:51:53]>> It does.

[00:51:55]I'm pretty lucky he was an amateur shot.

[00:51:58]Who the devil would have figured we'd be taking for a couple of claim jumpers?

[00:52:03]>> You know, Dave, we ought to be through that past by October. Then with the Wilson freight contract, we'll be out in the open by spring. We're actually in pretty good shape.

[00:52:15]>> Oh, you bet. You know that gorge will save us 22 miles of rerouting.

[00:52:19][clears throat] >> Well, I think as a junior partner, you have a right to know the facts. The fact is that >> Ah, don't tell me. I can hear you before you say it. We can't afford to reroute two miles.

[00:52:30]Oh, here it is. Now, take a look at this, Ben. You'll see what I mean.

[00:52:34]Completely inaccessible from both flanks.

[00:52:41]>> Telegram, Mr. Calhoun, here's the answer you've been waiting for.

[00:52:44]>> Thank you.

[00:52:44]>> Thank you, Mr. Calhoun.

[00:52:49]>> You want to make it 10? Nope. $5 still says it's federal property.

[00:52:58]Well, don't tell me the Union Pacific owns it.

[00:53:01]>> You weren't shot by any amateur. Dave Barnabas, where's that short bit novel you bought in St. Louis last month?

[00:54:37]>> Please >> sit still.

[00:54:39]>> Please don't.

[00:54:42]>> Uh, don't do that. Please don't use a gun that kills 18 men.

[00:55:00]>> Come on. I want to hear Chico Trent tell us how he made those guns skin back.

[00:55:09]>> They're shaving Chico Trent.

[00:55:17]>> [screaming] >> Please don't.

[00:55:18]>> More daring gun. The law never knew the dead crack shot.

[00:55:27]>> Don't please.

[00:55:31]>> Oh, you draw him. You die that day. Have to raise him.

[00:55:37]>> Stand up to him.

[00:55:39]>> You deputies in the wrong camp. You draw no pay here.

[00:55:45]God. No. Said drop the razor.

[00:55:56]Now, >> anybody else want to stop a free shave?

[00:56:00]I got a couple of free drinks for anybody who will take these people to the funeral parlor.

[00:56:08]She was a gun. Please let me I [music] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> I'm just an observer, Mr. Calhoun, we never shook hands, but uh I saw you win your railroad in that poker game.

[00:57:12]My name's Red Patel. I own that saloon over there. Why don't you drop in for a drink sometime on me?

[00:57:24]Get back to her.

[00:57:28][music] Oh, you boys were just run over by an iron horse.

[00:57:42]>> He owns the BPS andd railroad line. His name's Calhoun.

[00:57:46]>> Calhoun? Yeah, I heard about him. Ben Calhoun.

[00:57:49]>> Why'd you let him stop the shave?

[00:57:51]>> And why would a big steam and smoke jet ride into town on a horse with a packed u? We must be here for only one thing.

[00:57:58]High Devil. That's why I didn't blow his head off. I want to see what High Devil is worth to him.

[00:58:04]>> Where have you been for so long?

[00:58:06]>> Prison. The one you never heard of.

[00:58:09]>> How long?

[00:58:10]>> 5 years.

[00:58:11]>> For what?

[00:58:12]>> Gunfighting.

[00:58:14]>> Gunfighting?

[00:58:15]You must have made history, Chico.

[00:58:18]>> I did.

[00:58:19]>> You're the only gunfighter I've ever known that had to go to jail for gunfighting.

[00:58:24]>> Come on in.

[00:58:40]Sit down.

[00:58:49]>> Want a drink, Ben?

[00:58:50]>> No, thank you.

[00:58:52]>> Why don't you get out of those clothes and let me get you one of my suits?

[00:58:56]Oh, I fit this one.

[00:58:59]Who is this fell? He looks familiar.

[00:59:02]>> Oh, that's it's the fell I used to ride with.

[00:59:09]You know, 5 years ago, that bunch out there. They wouldn't have faced you all at one time if they' had the guns drawn.

[00:59:15]You were still in the holster. Now they're out there dry shaving you, ridicuing you, making fun of you. Why?

[00:59:21]What happened?

[00:59:24]Oh, there's always some showoff trying to ride me just because I was a good man with a gun. 5 years ago, I I'd have blown a hole in her belly.

[00:59:34]But now I uh I'm scared, Ben. I'm just plain scared.

[00:59:41]How do you live? Saloon's swamper work for whiskey.

[00:59:47]Red Battel saloon.

[00:59:49]>> Yeah. Why didn't he stop? They work for him too and quit.

[00:59:56]>> I did.

[00:59:59]How you going to live now?

[01:00:03]>> Dig graves.

[01:00:05]Bottle a hole.

[01:00:08]I knew you were a proud man. You knew where you were going, what you wanted.

[01:00:16]You [music] even told me about a girl that you fell in love with. You going to get married. What happened to her?

[01:00:22]Yeah, I uh I had a feeling for someone once and I uh I killed it. [music] I keep asking myself why.

[01:00:36]I don't understand why.

[01:00:40]Maybe you can tell me, Ben.

[01:00:46]young [music] Irish poet living over there in England.

[01:00:51]He might have the answer.

[01:00:53]I think he's the one that said that every man kills the one he loves.

[01:01:00]Coward with a knife. A brave man with a word.

[01:01:06]You here scratching for gold? I'm here trying to negotiate a rightaway across [music] High Devil. Got a deal with a woman by the name of Jess Santine. Do you ever hear of her?

[01:01:21]She's a killer.

[01:01:26][music] Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[01:02:03][music] [music] Much obliged.

[01:02:25]What do you want?

[01:02:29]>> I don't want your gold.

[01:02:31]>> Don't care what you have to get off my property.

[01:02:33]>> That cat ought to entitle me to five minutes of talk.

[01:02:37]>> Talk.

[01:02:39]>> My name's Ben Calhoun.

[01:02:42]I uh Isn't there some place we can go and sit down? I'd like to discuss a proposition with you.

[01:02:48]>> That dead cat ain't worth it.

[01:02:50]>> What I want to talk to you about involves a lot of money. You're interested in money, aren't you?

[01:02:54]>> Of course I'm interested in money.

[01:02:57]What's your business?

[01:02:59]>> Finding shortcuts through mountains, cross deserts, rivers, all for the BPS indeed.

[01:03:05]>> Talk English. It's >> the fastest growing railroad in the country. Right.

[01:03:10]>> I see. And you're here to get right away over High Devil to save time and money.

[01:03:15]That it.

[01:03:17]>> That's it.

[01:03:18]>> Get off my property.

[01:03:22]>> You just said you wrenched.

[01:03:23]>> I rode on railroads, mister. I saw your candy butcher sell those dime novels about me. I hate all railroads. Now wolf bag [music] across that bridge.

[01:03:35]>> Now you listen to me. We don't have any candy. butchers [music] on my train or news butchers or any other kind of butchers. We haven't had since the day we fired up the first stick of wood.

[01:03:46][music] You understand that now? You don't hate to beat the S& do you?

[01:03:54]Are you ready to talk a deal?

[01:03:57]>> But you've got to meet my price.

[01:04:00]>> All right. How much do you want for the rideaway across High Devil?

[01:04:05]>> Your wedding ring.

[01:04:22]I sure like the way you kiss.

[01:04:26]>> I think everybody likes everybody when they kiss you. [music] >> But you're not everybody and I'm a murderer.

[01:04:36]Some girls when they kiss they turn all redfaced.

[01:04:40]Some get scared.

[01:04:42]Some call for help.

[01:04:45]Some faint.

[01:04:50]Some bite.

[01:04:52]Some cry.

[01:04:56]Me.

[01:04:59]I died.

[01:05:02]I died inside the first time a man kissed me.

[01:05:06]>> Tom Santine.

[01:05:09]>> No, someone else >> with Tom Santini. It was more of a solid kind of kiss, a kiss of great promise.

[01:05:27]But he fooled me.

[01:05:32]I thought he was all mine. He wasn't.

[01:05:36]He needed killing and I obliged.

[01:05:42][music] Nobody believed me and I died a second time in prison.

[01:05:49]Oh, more wine, please.

[01:05:54]>> [music] >> But the new governor, he believed me. [music] What vintage is this?

[01:06:08]>> 61, the year the French landed at Vera Cruz.

[01:06:15]>> The newspapers crucified the governor for pardoning me, and the dime novel vultures gave me a new name.

[01:06:25]>> [music] >> Madame Blue Beard of the West, murderer of four husbands.

[01:06:36]I was only married once.

[01:06:39]I only had one husband, Tom Santine.

[01:06:44]But he couldn't live up to being the man I thought he was.

[01:06:48]He was sick on loco wheat.

[01:06:52]kill and [music] sick. On our wet night, he said he'd kill me if I told anybody about his sickness.

[01:06:59]And then he got drunk and ashamed and ugly mean.

[01:07:08]I had to kill him before he choked me to death.

[01:07:24]You're using up a lot of steam for a short run, babe.

[01:07:29]I want to ride to the end of the line.

[01:07:33]>> But you're not serious about marrying me. You don't even know me.

[01:07:38]>> I don't love you either, but I like the way you size up.

[01:07:46]Mary test means something.

[01:07:49]>> As much as your railroad means to you.

[01:08:01]>> Desperate women make fools themselves.

[01:08:03]Ben, I'm sorry I repulse you.

[01:08:12]>> I look 40, don't I?

[01:08:18]No, you don't. 20 perhaps.

[01:08:22]>> 25, >> whatever it is.

[01:08:26]It all adds up to quite a woman.

[01:08:30]>> And a woman can't live without a man.

[01:08:34]But what man would love a freak like me?

[01:08:38]One, two, three, four. or she loads the gun and locks the door and Jez Santine will shoot one more.

[01:08:50]You ever sing that ballad?

[01:08:55]>> Yes, I have.

[01:08:58]>> You like it?

[01:09:00]>> I never really thought it before till now.

[01:09:08]>> They even wrote a play about me.

[01:09:14]How about some more wine?

[01:09:17]>> I even heard kids sing that ballad in the street.

[01:09:22]That's why I'll trade hard devil for a ring.

[01:09:26]I've got no other play.

[01:09:30]>> You're too young and you're too pretty, Jed, to settle with the first man that comes along.

[01:09:35]You've got to find somebody that you can love. Somebody that'll love you.

[01:09:41]Miracles aren't made for murderers.

[01:09:44]And I'm not waiting for that hand to come up.

[01:09:49]Is it a deal?

[01:09:55]>> Well, I'll work something out.

[01:10:01]>> No, Ben.

[01:10:04]It's got to be one or the other.

[01:10:07]Marry me or leave me. Which shall it be?

[01:10:11][music] [music] [music] >> [music] >> Ben, you never wore that dress for me.

[01:10:53]>> I'm sorry, Jez. Uh, I'll buy you a new one. Same color, Jez.

[01:11:00]rotting up here like a hermit as Major Loco.

[01:11:09]>> I want High Devil to pay off for you.

[01:11:12]>> You want it for yourself?

[01:11:14]>> I can take it anytime.

[01:11:19]You'll have to kill me first.

[01:11:22]And that you won't do because you want me alive and glowing.

[01:11:29]>> Oh jeez. No, man. It feels safe married to you except me.

[01:11:35][laughter] >> Don't bet on that.

[01:11:44]If you've got any serious ideas about Ben Calhoun, I'll deliver his head to you in a basket.

[01:11:53][bell] [music] Ben, we figured you'd close the deal with her. And that's why I went ahead and committed a construction crew. I've got them working on these blueprints right now.

[01:12:28]>> She's as mule-headed as I am.

[01:12:30]>> You believe her? I don't.

[01:12:31]>> Mr. Calhoun, I tell you what I do.

[01:12:33]>> She's got a pretty good reason for killing Tom Santi.

[01:12:36]>> Yeah, so she says.

[01:12:36]>> Mr. Calhoun.

[01:12:37]>> What about the other three husbands?

[01:12:39]>> There were three. There were only one.

[01:12:41]>> Mr. Calhoun.

[01:12:42]>> You forget, Dave, that notorious people are targets for scandal.

[01:12:46]In fact, you take those James boys. They get blamed for every hold up for a thousand miles around Missouri. You've got to admit that a murderer of four husbands sells a whole lot more books than the murder of one.

[01:12:55]>> That's her version.

[01:12:56]>> Mr. Calhoun.

[01:12:58]>> What is it?

[01:12:59]>> I'll marry her.

[01:13:00]>> You will?

[01:13:01]>> Yes, sir. High Devil can open up the West for us. Laying track of the Pacific is more important than personal desires.

[01:13:08]>> And he's right.

[01:13:08]>> Oh, he is. Huh? Well, I'm glad you feel that way. Why don't you marry her?

[01:13:12]>> Because she wants you. I'm afraid if you don't meet her terms, we're all going to be in the scrap iron business.

[01:13:17]>> What happened to your scruples?

[01:13:18]>> Well, they just happen to be all gone right now.

[01:13:21]>> Anything for the railroad. Is that it?

[01:13:22]>> Well, that's what you're always preaching. There's no way we can do it, Ben. You've got to marry her because Wilson told me this morning to forget the freight contract.

[01:13:30]>> He gave me till October.

[01:13:31]>> He's changed his mind.

[01:13:32]>> Why? Why? Because no other line has been able to build rails over that high devil. That's why he told me he's given the whole business to some some wagon freighting outfit unless you delivered a clearance from Jess Santi. No later than Friday. Friday. That's only two days.

[01:13:46]And that's the situation. Ben, you've got to marry her. Get the right away.

[01:13:50]Get the freight contract. Start laying rails. Build that bridge. Get rolling.

[01:13:53]And then lose her.

[01:13:57]>> Is that what you really want?

[01:13:59]>> Oh, no. Well, I didn't think so. I'll get the clearance.

[01:14:04]>> How?

[01:14:04]>> I don't know how.

[01:14:07]Who knows? Maybe she'll go for a younger man.

[01:14:10]>> Mr. Calhoun, no mission is too difficult. No sacrifice too great. And every mile forward for the BPS and D calls for supreme sacrifice.

[01:14:18]>> Oh, you hear that, Dave? With spirit like that, we can't lose.

[01:14:22]>> Where's Mr. Wilson?

[01:14:23]>> He's out in your car waiting. All right.

[01:14:26]You >> tell him that I'll have that clearance for Friday.

[01:14:29]>> Throw me that towel on your way out, will you?

[01:14:35]Wait a minute. Have him send me up a dry one.

[01:14:42]>> Well, I'll tell her about your proposition there, Barnabas. If she goes for it, I'll send for you.

[01:14:47]>> Yes, sir.

[01:14:59]>> Freddy. Hey, come in.

[01:15:05]Did you ask Chico Trent to have breakfast with me? I think you better fetch him yourself, Mr. Calhoun.

[01:15:15][music] [music] All right, get get out.

[01:15:37][music] >> Are you all right?

[01:15:46]I've been in town 4 days now. They wake me every morning this way. Hey, sit down.

[01:15:51]>> What do you hang around here for anyway?

[01:15:53]Oh, be the same anywhere I go.

[01:15:57]>> I'll get you the job on the railroad if you straighten yourself out.

[01:16:00]>> Oh, I just cause you trouble, Ben.

[01:16:03]Besides, they'd find out about me.

[01:16:05]>> You fight back.

[01:16:07]>> Yesterday, a 14-year-old wit-nose horse whipped me on a bet. I run whining.

[01:16:15]Now, I know where I've seen that face.

[01:16:17]That's Tom Santine. I saw him in a police gazette. What did you tell me you knew him?

[01:16:23]It is him, isn't it?

[01:16:25]>> Yeah, that's Tom.

[01:16:28]What kind of a fellow is he?

[01:16:31]>> It wasn't a mean streak in him.

[01:16:39]>> Do you know Jez Santine?

[01:16:43]She said, "Dear Tom, will you marry me?"

[01:16:46]He said, "Dear Jez, will you marry me?"

[01:16:50]1 2 3 4. She loads her gun and [music] locks the door. And Jez Santine will shoot one more [laughter] [laughter] shot for Tom Santine. Dead right through the head. right through the hair.

[01:17:25][laughter] She said you will marry me.

[01:17:29]>> He said, "Dear Jez, will you marry me?"

[01:17:33]One, two, three, four. [singing] >> Bang, bang, bang, bang.

[01:17:41][laughter] >> She loses her gun and locks the door and Jeene will shoot one [laughter] more.

[01:17:49]Jez shot put Jim Rice dead right through the head. Right through [music] [music] >> [music] >> It's all right now.

[01:18:33]>> He just grazed you, Mr. Calhoun.

[01:18:37]>> Going to be sure to help.

[01:18:38]>> I won't miss him.

[01:18:44]How many of these did you pay for?

[01:18:46]>> Three.

[01:18:48]>> Give me a hand, Chico.

[01:18:56][music] Chico.

[01:19:06][music] We'll [music] go out to your place to help you unload.

[01:19:27]Get aboard, Chico.

[01:19:30][music] Unless you want to stay here and bury him.

[01:19:35]Go by the hotel and pick up my horse.

[01:19:38]>> [music] >> I was [music] wet-nosed on go by my father. He was a carpenter, but he taught me how to scratch for flakes before I learned to walk.

[01:19:54]22 years ago, my father helped Jim Marshall help John Sutter.

[01:19:58]>> To John Sutter, >> my father saw the first chunk of gold Marshall found in the Mill Channel. Man always kills a thing he loves.

[01:20:09]>> And uh that's how my father got the gold fever.

[01:20:14]A >> coward always uses a knife.

[01:20:17]A brave man uses words.

[01:20:20]>> He died busted >> to high devil.

[01:20:22]>> And he left me a high devil >> to Tom Santi.

[01:20:27]>> What are you waiting for?

[01:20:30]Pick up that rifle.

[01:20:32]If you had any guts, you do something about Tom instead of sitting there like a deadbeat gunhawk washing down wine to give your backbone some sand or pick up that rifle.

[01:20:47][music] Go on, shoot me.

[01:20:53]Shoot me.

[01:21:06]I was just going to put it in the corner.

[01:21:14]>> She's right. I did come here to kill her for what she'd done to the finest man I ever rode with.

[01:21:21]>> Did you ever ask her why she killed it?

[01:21:25]You said something about a man always kills the thing he loves.

[01:21:30]Some men don't, Ben.

[01:21:36]I couldn't do it. I uh I love her too much.

[01:21:42]It's not what I ask you. Did you ever ask her why she killed you?

[01:21:48]>> Gone crazy.

[01:21:51]>> You believe that? Well, it was in the papers >> and you believe that >> it was in print.

[01:21:57]>> A lot of things are in print that are just exaggerations. Do you understand what exaggeration is, Chico?

[01:22:04]>> Exaggerations.

[01:22:05]>> Exaggeration is a part of our lives.

[01:22:09]People have to live on scandal.

[01:22:13]A Jezantine was only married one time.

[01:22:17]The rest were lies. But one lie put into print and people will swear to it that it's gospel.

[01:22:24]>> Well, I didn't really swallow all that stuff about those other men, but about Tom Santine.

[01:22:33]If you'd have known him, I think it's about time you've learned that his halo is just about as twisted as your ideas of Jez are.

[01:22:43]I liked him more than a brother.

[01:22:47]Well, he was a chicken-hearted wife, beater, and your worst enemy.

[01:22:51]>> He was my best friend.

[01:22:53]>> Well, then I'm going to tell you about your best friend. When you and Jez broke up and you rode out of here, did your best friend ride with you?

[01:23:00]>> Well, he >> No, he stayed behind. And just about the time that Jez needed someone in the worst way, your best friend showed up.

[01:23:10]And even though she loved you and still does love you, she married that mongrel because he offered her the thing that she wanted most and the thing that scared you the most. That was a home.

[01:23:24]Did she say she still loved me?

[01:23:27]>> Why don't you ask her?

[01:23:28]>> Did she say she still loved me?

[01:23:29]>> I say she still loves you, but why don't you ask her? And while you're at it, ask her why she killed your best friend.

[01:23:39]I'll do that.

[01:23:42][music] [music] Heat [music] up here.

[01:24:26]>> [music] [music] [music] >> This all sounds very definite, Mr. Calhoun. It is.

[01:24:54]>> Well, I'm not satisfied. I must see the authorization to the rightway before I sign our freight contract.

[01:25:01]>> I told you before, Mr. Wilson. Jet Santine will give it to me at the wedding. I only came back here to pick up a dress suit. And incidentally, you should have one that fit Chico.

[01:25:10]>> I have a hunch you're trying to pressure me into something, Mr. Calhoun, and I don't like it.

[01:25:15]>> Then come along with us to the wedding.

[01:25:18]I'll produce the authorization at the altar.

[01:25:20]>> I'll do just exactly that, Mr. Calhoun.

[01:25:23]Although I despise weddings.

[01:25:25]>> Good. Now Dave, keep working on the blueprints. How long is it going to take your crew to get started laying track up to High Devil?

[01:25:32]>> Tomorrow morning.

[01:25:33]>> All right. Barnabas, tell Mr. Holmes, I want to see him.

[01:25:39]>> Right, boss.

[01:25:40]>> And thank you for volunteering.

[01:25:42]>> Anytime, sir.

[01:25:44]>> You'll see what you missed when you meet her.

[01:25:49]>> Did you say she's marrying Chico Trent?

[01:25:51]I did.

[01:25:52]>> A notorious gunfighter marrying a murderer of four husbands. Oh, I read all about them in the dime novels.

[01:26:00]That's quite a match.

[01:26:03]Two of the most dangerous characters in the West.

[01:26:09]>> Stop it. Stop it, Rick. Stop it.

[01:26:13]>> Let her go.

[01:26:16]It's all the time that you're marrying him. Why? What do you see in this barfly?

[01:26:21]>> I've loved him. I've always loved him.

[01:26:24]Can't you understand that? I love him.

[01:26:26]>> Use the razor.

[01:26:28]>> No.

[01:26:33]>> Now, are you going to sign High Devil over to me?

[01:26:37]>> Yes.

[01:26:39]>> Yes.

[01:26:40]>> All right. Get the pen and ink, darling.

[01:26:43]>> Don't do it, Jazz.

[01:26:46]>> [music] >> I want a nice steady hand [music] again.

[01:27:14]>> [music] >> Dump that in our buck board.

[01:27:20][music] Tell Calhoun to deal with me.

[01:27:24]Darling, if you should if you stir him up, well, it'll be you who's slitting Chico's throat from ear to ear, not me.

[01:27:39]>> [music] [music] >> Oh, one shot from you. And Chico's head rolls right straight down that gorge.

[01:27:56][music] [music] >> [music] >> You know, Mr. Calhoun is going to surprise him with a honeymoon trip to St. Louis in his own private car.

[01:28:41]He just rode in with a wedding party.

[01:28:43]>> Like it.

[01:28:44]>> Jez.

[01:28:46]How are Jez?

[01:28:48]How jazz?

[01:28:50]>> It's too bad I can't let you be my best man, Chico.

[01:28:53]>> One day she'll love me the way she loves you. Even if I have to kill her. Well, jazz [music] >> [music] >> Heat. Heat.

[01:29:35][music] [music] Beautiful.

[01:29:50][music] >> I don't know what magic you used on her, Mr. Calhoun, but there isn't a line in the country that wouldn't give a fortune to be in your shoes.

[01:30:10]There's no magic, Mr. Wilson. Miss Santine just happens to favor the BPSD.

[01:30:16]Simple as that.

[01:30:16]>> Well, there's nothing simple about almost having a railroad company collapse just because of a shortcut. You owe the life of your line to that woman, no matter how many husbands she's killed. Oh, by the way, she isn't. Uh, >> no. No, of course not. She's in love.

[01:30:34]She hasn't got any time for gunplay.

[01:30:47]>> [music] [music] >> Hello, Jez.

[01:31:02]>> Hello, Ben.

[01:31:05]>> Prettiest bride I've ever seen.

[01:31:08]>> [music] >> The deal's off.

[01:31:14]>> I've heard of green nuptual jitters before, but you think we could find another subject to joke about? [music] >> It's no joke, Ben.

[01:31:25]I can't give you right away.

[01:31:32]>> What happened?

[01:31:35]I changed my mind.

[01:31:39]I'm sorry, babe.

[01:31:42][music] Where's Chico?

[01:31:46]>> Gone.

[01:31:49]I'm not marrying him.

[01:31:51]>> Why?

[01:31:54]>> I've changed my mind.

[01:31:55]>> So have I. Calhoun.

[01:31:59]>> I've sold the ride away. [music] >> Two.

[01:32:05]>> Red Vetel.

[01:32:14]>> [music] >> looking for Mr. Vitel.

[01:32:27][music] Show them in.

[01:32:41]>> I know three railroad speculators right now would set me up for life for clearance to High Devil.

[01:32:56]Make an offer.

[01:33:01]give you $2,500 in cash, $7,500 and four equal payments over a period of a year.

[01:33:09]Forget high.

[01:33:18]>> How much do you want?

[01:33:23]>> $25,000 cash.

[01:33:31]>> [snorts] >> and uh 50% of the BPS and D.

[01:33:39]>> You're out of your mind.

[01:33:44]>> You want to shoot pool or guns?

[01:33:47]>> How'd you get that right away?

[01:33:49]>> You meet my terms and I'll tell you.

[01:33:55]There's not a railroad in this country that would have made those terms.

[01:33:59]>> Oh, I'll find one. You know why? Because railroads are the future of this country, Mr. California.

[01:34:07]>> The water's over your boiler, and we both know it. But I'll give you a chance while you're drowning. Here, take a look at that.

[01:34:17][snorts] No, I don't want to see you go bust over a piece of paper.

[01:34:23]So, I'll play you for your railroad.

[01:34:25]Maybe I'll win the BPS and D the way you did.

[01:34:29]Maybe I won't.

[01:34:32]If I win it, I own it lock, stock, and wheels. If you win, you get the right of way to High Devil for $1.

[01:34:48]All right.

[01:34:51]Hey Paul, hi.

[01:34:57][music] [music] I'll take the solids.

[01:35:26][music] [music] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Heat. Heat.

[01:36:08][music] [music] [music] [music] Heat. Heat.

[01:36:44][music] >> [music] [music] >> Oh, bye. Barnabas, you should have waited till Chico was presentable to take this picture.

[01:37:27]>> Well, the wedding picture's got to be taken at the wedding or it just ain't official.

[01:37:31]>> Couple of days, his face will be good as new. Jez, most beautiful bride in St. Louis can introduce her brand new husband.

[01:37:38]>> Ben, >> and I'm going to tell you boys something right now. There's a whole lot more to building a railroad than just laying track.

[01:37:43]>> Mr. Calhoun >> to next year when Ben lays tracks smack in the Pacific by way of high devil.

[01:37:49]>> To the high devil.

[01:37:51]>> Matter of you, Barnabas? Well, honeymooners are supposed to be alone on their first night. I'll drink to that.

[01:37:56]>> Well, I've arranged for all three of us to sleep up in the camp.

[01:37:59]>> So did I.

[01:37:59]>> So did I. To the honeymooners.

[01:38:05][music] [music] >> [music] >> Is that the owner of this disaster be pretty anxious to sell? I don't know. A woman can get sentimental over a piece of string.

[01:38:39]This piece of string's been played out, then we're making a good offer.

[01:38:43]Nevertheless, we better make [music] it in a charming manner.

[01:38:53][music] Intermission, professor. The wood piles a little low. How about playing a tune on that axe?

[01:39:18]>> Look, how many times have I told you I can't deal seconds with callous fingers?

[01:39:36]>> [music] >> Miss Crystal Cochran.

[01:39:41]>> Yes.

[01:39:42]>> I'm uh I'm Ben Calhoun, the president of the BPS&D Railroad.

[01:39:49]Mr. Dave Tarant, our construction engineer. How do you do? I'd like to talk to you about buying a rightaway through your land.

[01:39:56]>> You want to buy this graveyard?

[01:39:58]>> Well, it's a strip you wouldn't miss, sir. Gentlemen, >> it's no deal. The land isn't for sale.

[01:40:04]>> But you haven't heard the offer, miss.

[01:40:06]>> Right. And we do want to hear it. Uh >> so uh come in. Uh come in, John.

[01:40:11]>> Uh I'm uh I'm John Burke.

[01:40:14]>> Pleased to meet you, Mr. Burke.

[01:40:15]>> Mr. Burke. It's a charming place you have here. Little ready cash, and you could make it blossom in much the same man as you have, ma'am.

[01:40:24]>> I'm flattered, Mr. Calhoun, but that's all.

[01:40:29]Very well. We'll be a little more practical then. I'll give you $3,000 for the rightway. Half in cash, half in BPSD stock.

[01:40:38]>> Yes. Let's be practical, Mr. Calhoun.

[01:40:40]The answer is no.

[01:40:45]>> All right. I'll make it all cash. Let's say now >> the answer is still no.

[01:40:52]>> Thank you for your interest, gentlemen.

[01:40:55]>> I don't think you fully >> [music] >> Then you name a figure. I did no sale.

[01:41:09][music] Good >> day. Miss Captain, >> are you out of your mind? That money could have got us out of this cemetery.

[01:41:24]>> Yeah. And into a real one.

[01:41:27]Uncle Johnny, this is still the best place to get lost in.

[01:41:30]>> We've tried it for six long months. We could lose ourselves in a big city.

[01:41:34]>> Yeah, until we needed money and you tried to get some with a deck of cards.

[01:41:37]About the fifth hand you played, he'd be coming in like a hound on a bloodscent.

[01:41:42]>> Crystal, please. I >> No, we've got to wait. [music] >> Just hope somebody kills him before he kills us.

[01:41:51][music] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Heat.

[01:42:30][music] [music] Heat.

[01:42:44][music] >> [music] >> I'm looking for Mr. Diver.

[01:43:08]>> Who wants him?

[01:43:10]>> Mr. Jordan.

[01:43:12]>> Cal. Somebody to see you.

[01:43:17]Cal, >> you got a first name?

[01:43:26]>> They just called me Mr. Jordan.

[01:43:28]>> I heard of a Mr. Jordan. Hired out as a town tamer.

[01:43:32][music] Tucson, El Paso.

[01:43:36]He was very particular about being called Mister.

[01:43:40]Are you I was.

[01:43:56]>> Well, I guess I can just forget about that mister. Everybody else has.

[01:44:01]>> You wanted [music] to see my husband?

[01:44:04]>> That's him.

[01:44:05]>> I represent the Sharps Rifle Company. I understand you're interested in some of our guns. Oh, you must be Mr. Jordan.

[01:44:15]>> Don't wait for his right-hand diver.

[01:44:17]Jordan met a faster gun.

[01:44:19]>> Not a faster gun.

[01:44:21]>> A bushwhacker from 200 yd away.

[01:44:23]>> They make a good pair.

[01:44:26]>> Yeah, together they might make one good man.

[01:44:33]>> I've got no time to waste on drummers.

[01:44:36]>> I've come a long way, Mr. Diver.

[01:44:37]>> That's your concern.

[01:44:40]>> [laughter] >> You've really hit rock bottom when even he won't go. You missed her. Get out, drummer.

[01:44:47]>> You too, Ringer. Get out.

[01:44:49]>> Goodbye, Sam.

[01:44:53]>> You, too. You heard my husband.

[01:44:59][music] >> [music] >> with the extra grading. It'll cost us $10,000 to run that line around her place. If we can get that right away for anything less, that's found money.

[01:45:27]>> Well, you just give me 10,000 reasons to try her again.

[01:45:31]>> And just to show my confidence in you, I'll start running a survey around her place.

[01:45:36]Well, getting to open a change of minds half the fun in life. Hey, Ben, she convinced me. You just can't win. Not this time. You want to bet?

[01:45:46]>> Thousand shares of BPSD stock says I can get her to change her mind.

[01:45:51]>> Well, now let's really make it worthwhile, huh? $5 cash.

[01:45:59]Well, that kind of money, I'll run those tracks right through her living room.

[01:46:22]Where are you going?

[01:46:24]>> Out >> after him. Isn't it bad enough the way you carry on in the store? Do you have to follow him into the street?

[01:46:31]>> If you don't like it, why don't you tell him? You're my wife and I'm telling you I didn't pick you out of the gutter, marry you, just to let some tinhorn come along and pull us both down into the gutter.

[01:46:43]>> Where is all that respect you promised me? Huh? When we walk down the street, all your respectable friends laugh at us. When I walk down the street with Sam Ringer, nobody dares laugh.

[01:47:15]Hey, Jordan.

[01:47:18]>> Yes. Yes, Mr. [music] Ringer.

[01:47:25]Yes, [music] Mr. Ringer.

[01:47:33]Tell me, peddler, how fast were you when they used to call you mister?

[01:47:41]>> The day has passed when I could show you.

[01:47:46]>> All right.

[01:47:52]Take your drink, pedler.

[01:47:57]Reach for it.

[01:48:06]>> [laughter] >> Were you ever that fast?

[01:48:10]>> Yes, Mr. Ringer.

[01:48:25]Don't turn your back on me, cuddler.

[01:48:37]>> [laughter] >> You are a very tough young man.

[01:48:43][laughter] >> He's laughing at you, Sam. He's got no respect for you. [laughter] All right. Go ahead, fella. If you want to hang Heat. Heat.

[01:49:32][music] >> [music] [music] >> Sam. Sam, get up. Get up. You can't let him beat you.

[01:50:04][music] >> [music] >> Thanks.

[01:50:17]>> We could have gotten out of here with $3,000. Now we'll be lucky if we get out with our hides.

[01:50:22]>> Maybe he's just passing through.

[01:50:24]>> We're gambling a lot on that. Maybe. You know, >> if he knew he'd be out here by now.

[01:50:43]>> [music] >> It's Calhoun.

[01:50:53]>> Before you say no, Miss Cochran, just hear me out.

[01:50:56]>> You don't have to say anything more, Mr. Calhoun. Well, at least give me a chance to explain.

[01:51:01]>> You already have.

[01:51:03]>> Already have what?

[01:51:05]>> Explained. You can have my land.

[01:51:08]>> You've got a real silver tongue, Mr. Calhoun.

[01:51:12]>> Thank you, sir. I also can recognize a mine when it's been salted. What made you change your mind?

[01:51:18]>> You're getting the land. What difference does it make? 3,000 cash.

[01:51:24]>> Cash will mean another 48 hours. I have to go to Scalp Lock and get it.

[01:51:28]All right, but in 48 hours or no sale.

[01:51:32]In the meantime, I want you to send somebody out here to stay until you get back.

[01:51:38]>> Could I ask why?

[01:51:39]>> I'm making it part of our deal, Mr. Calhoun.

[01:51:44]>> All right, Miss Cochran.

[01:51:48]You'll have your bodyguard.

[01:51:50][music] >> I don't know. Dave, >> guess you might call it a blessing in disguise. 6 months ago, I'd have killed him. I would have brought two more guns just like him looking for me.

[01:52:07]>> Yeah, I guess I understand. Look, I never was much at scene. Thanks. I had too much practice.

[01:52:14]>> Best in our line.

[01:52:19]>> It's It's beautiful, Mr. Jordan, but I can't accept it.

[01:52:25]>> Well, I wish you would. I helped design it back when.

[01:52:31]>> No offense, Spence, but I think that's a pretty good reason why I don't need one.

[01:52:37]>> No one says you have to use it on anything except rattlesnakes, bobcats.

[01:52:44][music] >> Thanks, Mr. Jordan.

[01:52:49]>> You did more for me. [music] >> [music] >> You wear that low?

[01:53:04]>> Oh, it's a present. Hey, how'd it go?

[01:53:07]>> You owe me $5.

[01:53:08]>> Oh, now don't tell me it worked. You mean that famous charm of yours did the trick? I don't think charm had anything to do with it. I think it was fear. She wants to get out of there fast. Well, fear of what? I didn't ask her.

[01:53:22]I just made the deal. Part of which included one of us staying out there for protection. You're going to have to ride the scalp lock and pick up the money.

[01:53:30]>> Oh, no. What do you mean no?

[01:53:35]Well, I I kind of like her.

[01:53:38]>> Well, she isn't trouble.

[01:53:41]>> No, she is trouble, I think.

[01:53:43]>> Yeah, well, I can take care of myself.

[01:53:46]You have a nice ride to scalp, Ben.

[01:53:49]Why does it always happen to the practical ones? You take that out there with you, it'll inspire confidence.

[01:54:01][bell] [music] >> [music] [music] >> You know, Ben said you wanted some protection. I didn't realize it was from your ax.

[01:54:50]>> How do you decide the chores around here? Toss a coin.

[01:54:54]>> He's too old for this.

[01:54:56]>> Well, he's made you about the prettiest logger I've ever seen this side of the Mississippi. May I?

[01:55:07]You make it look easy.

[01:55:08]>> Oh, it is for about the first 5 minutes.

[01:55:13]>> Listen, I don't mean to pry, but can you give me any idea of what I'm supposed to look out for for the next 48 hours >> for me?

[01:55:25]>> Well, that'll be a pleasure.

[01:55:27]How about the next 72 or 120?

[01:55:30]>> In 48 hours, I'll be gone.

[01:55:33]Well, anything can happen in two days. I once built a bridge unless Ben won a railroad and my father met and married my mother. All in two days.

[01:55:51][music] >> You mind boiled chicken warmed over?

[01:55:57]>> Anything after railroad food's a feast.

[01:56:13]>> [music] [music] >> Heat. Heat.

[01:56:28][music] >> [music] >> I already told you to get out and stay out.

[01:56:46]>> I came here to do a job.

[01:56:48]>> You're a poor excuse for a hired gun. I knew you were crippled. I didn't know you were yellow, too.

[01:56:54]>> The fee is $500.

[01:56:56]>> You've already proved you couldn't handle it.

[01:56:59]>> Can't handle a little mouse like that.

[01:57:02]Ringo wouldn't waste a shot on you.

[01:57:04]>> Have the money ready, Mr. Diver. Our deal was $500 cash on delivery.

[01:57:11]You'll be delivered.

[01:57:18][music] My parents died while I was still in pigtails. Dave, Uncle Johnny came charging to the rescue and took me along with him.

[01:57:27]>> Where?

[01:57:28]Oh, a lot of places doing a lot of things. Professionally speaking, [music] I'm a singer. Well, >> it's hard to find an audience out here, isn't it?

[01:57:40]>> Well, we uh thought we'd take a vacation.

[01:57:45]>> Cleaning house and dishes and chopping wood.

[01:57:50]>> Crystal, what are you hiding from?

[01:57:58]Dave, I haven't sung a note in months.

[01:58:02]Would you like to hear me sing?

[01:58:04]>> If you don't want me to ask you questions, just say so.

[01:58:07]>> Yes, I'd like to hear you sing very much.

[01:58:10]>> Thank you.

[01:58:13]It's going to be fun to dress up again.

[01:58:15]Give me 20 minutes.

[01:58:16]>> 20 minutes.

[01:58:22]Presenting Crystal Cochran.

[01:58:31]>> [music] [music] >> Why has thy merry face [music and singing] gone from my side?

[01:58:51]Leaving [singing] each cherished place, [music] cheerless and bored. [singing] Why has the happy dream [singing] blended with thee?

[01:59:11][music] pass like a flitting [singing] being sweet Laurely. [singing] Why has the happy [music and singing] dream blended with thee?

[01:59:34]Has [music and singing] like a flitting dream.

[01:59:39]Sweet [singing] Laura.

[01:59:51][applause] [music] [music] >> [music] >> There's no reason in the world why somebody like you has to be afraid [music] of anything.

[02:00:32]>> Right now, I'm not, except maybe of you.

[02:00:38]Crystal, all you have to do is tell me to go.

[02:00:43]>> I haven't heard anything.

[02:00:46]I haven't said anything.

[02:01:00]>> I can believe you built a bridge in less than two days.

[02:01:04]I was in a big hurry to get to the other side.

[02:01:17][music] >> I'm sorry.

[02:01:24]>> It was that bad. Let me try again.

[02:01:30]Bristle.

[02:01:35]Crystal.

[02:01:40]>> Crystal, >> send him away.

[02:01:43]>> We [music] need him >> as a target. We can't do this to him.

[02:01:57]>> It [music] wasn't your fault.

[02:01:59]>> There was nobody else out there, Burke.

[02:02:02]Yes, there was a rancher. She was going to marry in Denver 8 months ago, killed on his way to church.

[02:02:11]>> And he he still means that much to her.

[02:02:13]>> Before that, a farmer, little old farm, [music] let everybody know that he loved her. He didn't get a chance to ask her to marry him. He'd been faced down in a creek 3 days before he was found. I >> I don't follow. Well, Dave, she doesn't want this to happen to you.

[02:02:35][music] [music] >> What's the matter with you? You've been acting upy all night.

[02:02:51]>> I'm going home. He had a big day. Beat like a dog. You must be tired.

[02:02:58]I lost a fist fight is all.

[02:03:00]>> You lost a whole town. How you were lying there with your face in the dirt, me trying to get you to your feet so you'd look like a man again. Everybody was laughing at you.

[02:03:10]>> Who laughed, Po?

[02:03:14]>> What's it matter?

[02:03:17]Everybody knows that railroad fella can beat you anytime he wants to.

[02:03:23]>> Well, next time, tomorrow, it'll be different. My way.

[02:03:31][music] [music] [music] [music] >> Good morning, Mr. Ringer.

[02:03:56]I'm on my way to see a railroad man.

[02:03:58]I've got no time for you, peddler.

[02:04:00]>> The name is Mr. Jordan.

[02:04:08]What do you do now, Mr. Ringer?

[02:04:13]You're not answering [music] the peddler's questions, Mr. Ringer.

[02:04:21]No good thinking of running. You wouldn't have time to turn around.

[02:04:27]Your young lady would be ashamed of it.

[02:04:38][music] >> [music] >> together.

[02:05:05]Damn.

[02:05:08][music] He killed him.

[02:05:21]>> Who did Mrs. Diver?

[02:05:23]>> That railroad fella.

[02:05:26]He beat Ringer up yesterday and today murdered him.

[02:05:32]If he did, we'll find out about it. Come on, Tom. Take him inside, boys.

[02:05:53][music] Burke, I can't wait all day for her to come out.

[02:06:06]>> She sleeps late.

[02:06:09]>> Yeah.

[02:06:12]Got her. I'll be keeping an eye on her.

[02:06:14]I'll be up there on that ridge making a rough survey.

[02:06:17]>> I'll do that.

[02:06:21]>> [music] [music] [music] >> Did you send him away?

[02:06:42]>> No.

[02:06:44]>> Why?

[02:06:45]>> I told you we need him. If Jordan comes out here, what do you want me to do?

[02:06:50]play poker with him.

[02:06:52]>> We can't involve Dave.

[02:06:54]>> He's already involved. He's part of the land deal. Look, Crystal, I can deal cards, but I can't fight. I told you that. Every time a saloon brawl starts, I I crawl under the table. I I never was brave. Now I'm I'm over 50 years old.

[02:07:18]Crystal, look.

[02:07:22]If Jordan comes out here, I I can't help you. Maybe Dave can.

[02:07:27]>> I won't take that risk.

[02:07:30]>> You feel that way about this railroad man? After only one day?

[02:07:37]>> Well, how long are these things supposed to take?

[02:07:41]>> If you want him to know, you're going to have to tell them.

[02:07:46]>> [music] >> Careful move. Put that rifle down.

[02:08:07]>> Yeah.

[02:08:12]>> What's your name, mister?

[02:08:13]>> My name's Dave Terran. You know a man by the name of Ringer?

[02:08:17]>> He put in a charge against me for roughousing him.

[02:08:20]>> Well, they won't be able to put in a charge. He's been shot, killed, and you've been accused >> by whom?

[02:08:28]>> Mrs. Diver.

[02:08:29]>> Well, that's not too smart of a sheriff.

[02:08:32]I've been out the Cochran Ranch all last night and today.

[02:08:34]>> Well, now she'll tell that to the judge.

[02:08:36]You got no problems.

[02:08:39]Take Miss Cochran into town.

[02:08:46]You come with me.

[02:08:54][music] [music] >> No, Crystal. If you go into town, he'll know we're here. He'll kill us.

[02:09:13]>> You'll have lots of time for running while I'm in town.

[02:09:16]>> Oh, it wouldn't be any fun running without you, Crystal.

[02:09:25][music] >> [music] >> You should have taken him out of that cell to hang him.

[02:09:52]>> Mr. Diver, I know you have your suspicions, but you see, this man proved Tarant couldn't have done it.

[02:10:01]>> Well, I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Tarant. It's all right, Shar. Uh, >> come on, Dave. I got the horse.

[02:10:07]>> All right, Burke. I'll be right out with you.

[02:10:10][music] [music] [music] [music] >> [music] >> Heat. Heat.

[02:10:52][music] Mr. Jordan.

[02:11:06][music] >> Hey, I uh glad to see you out of trouble. I was coming to see if I could help. That is if a character reference from a drummer would carry much weight.

[02:11:22]Thanks for the thought.

[02:11:24]>> Looking for somebody?

[02:11:25]>> Well, yes. There was a there was a man out here with my horse, I thought.

[02:11:29]>> Well, uh man just left. He looked like he had the very devil on his tail when he took off.

[02:11:36]You know him?

[02:11:38]>> Yeah. He's a friend of a young lady we're buying some land from.

[02:11:41]>> Well, uh if you're not in as big a hurry as he was, I'd like to buy you a drink.

[02:11:49]Heat.

[02:12:00]Heat.

[02:12:09]Heat.

[02:12:29]Heat.

[02:12:46]What happened here?

[02:12:47]>> Bushwacked. Not the first time it happened.

[02:12:51]>> You say who did it?

[02:12:52]>> No, I didn't.

[02:12:52]>> It doesn't matter. I'm leaving town anyway.

[02:12:55]>> Well, that matters to me.

[02:12:56]>> Well, there's not much we can do about it, Sheriff. We didn't see him. I think right now this man needs a doctor.

[02:13:11]Easy now. Sorry about that drink, Dave.

[02:13:13]That's something else I owe you.

[02:13:15]>> Who keeps count, Mr. Jordan?

[02:13:17]>> It's easy for me. That side of my ledger isn't very full. I make a point of paying everybody back.

[02:13:24]>> How do you mean that? Both ways.

[02:13:27]>> Jordan, you must have some idea who tried to nail you.

[02:13:30]>> No, Sheriff. I've got a longer list and you've got years to track them down.

[02:13:35]>> Even now?

[02:13:37]>> Well, when can you convince young showoffs that if they did get what I had, they'd have nothing?

[02:13:44]>> Well, the doc will put a patch on this for you, Mr. Jordan. You'll be okay. I'm going to be getting back to the ranch.

[02:13:48]>> Take care of yourself. Well, >> yeah.

[02:13:51]>> Thanks again.

[02:13:53][music] >> [music] [music] >> You did better with a handgun than I could with a rifle. Burke. Why?

[02:14:27]>> He shot the man you're here to protect me from.

[02:14:30]>> Jordan.

[02:14:31]>> Mr. Jordan.

[02:14:32]>> You know him.

[02:14:33]>> I was his girl by his choice. I was supposed to dissolve with love every time he killed a man.

[02:14:41]>> If you know that much about him, you ought to know he's a [ __ ] >> He's not a [ __ ] Well, he was shot, but it healed.

[02:14:47]>> Is that why he wears his hand as a claw?

[02:14:49]As a decoration?

[02:14:51]He got tired of facing every kid who wanted to make a reputation by killing Mr. Jordan. He was afraid one day one of them might do it. The claw lets him pick his own time and place for killing.

[02:15:02]>> If that's true, what was I supposed to do? Get killed by him to buy you some more running time?

[02:15:08]>> Yes, Dave. That was the idea.

[02:15:11]>> Until she started thinking more of you than our skins.

[02:15:15]>> Never mind.

[02:15:16]>> No, she wanted to send you away last night. I wouldn't let her.

[02:15:23]>> How do you feel about it today? [sighs] >> Believe anything you want. Now, >> what I want to believe in can are two different things. All I see is a man who acts like a [ __ ] who gets himself beaten up to avoid trouble and gets bushwacked in the street.

[02:15:37]>> Look, I have no apologies. He killed two men because they loved her. She won't be free until he's dead.

[02:15:45]>> I'm sorry.

[02:15:46]>> You don't believe us. I don't know, >> Dave. Believe me.

[02:15:54]>> I've got to hear Jordan's side first.

[02:16:07][music] >> Crystal, please understand me. I'm I'm a logical person.

[02:16:13]>> Dave, I know what you are. I just wanted to tell you that when you get back, we won't be here.

[02:16:23][music] Now, you've really got me fenced in. I want to prove that you're telling the truth, Crystal.

[02:16:37]And if I do, I'll probably get my head blown off for it.

[02:16:40]>> Dave, please stay out of it. Either way, I can't win. Either way, I can't stay out of it.

[02:16:51][music] [music] [music] Heat.

[02:17:23][music] Heat.

[02:17:34]>> [music] >> Hey, what was it?

[02:17:46]>> Now hold it. Hold it.

[02:17:51]>> I didn't kill Sam Ringer.

[02:17:53]>> You murdered him. You shot him down without a chance.

[02:17:57]>> No, I didn't.

[02:17:58]>> You had to. He was shot in the chest.

[02:18:01]You aren't fast enough to beat him to the draw. Nobody was fast enough to beat Sam Ringer.

[02:18:08]>> There's somebody fast enough.

[02:18:11]>> Nobody.

[02:18:12]>> Mr. Jordan.

[02:18:20]>> Are you trying to blame that [ __ ] [music] Heat. Heat.

[02:18:32][music] >> [music] >> What do you expect [music] to win, Jordan?

[02:19:01]>> It's what I don't intend to lose.

[02:19:05]>> Crystal, what was ever so bad about me wanting love from you?

[02:19:09]>> Love? All you really want from people is fear. All right. It hurts you to lose.

[02:19:16]Well, you just lost. I'm not afraid of you anymore. And you're not going to have me bushwacked anymore.

[02:19:26]>> Just a minute, Jordan. Gentle.

[02:19:30]>> Look, I'm the one who bushwacked you.

[02:19:33]I'm the one who's responsible for that hand. There was no other way. Crystal, I knew that [music] when he gunned down that farmer.

[02:19:40]>> Your hands are as important to you as mine are to me. Let's see how you get along without yours.

[02:19:50]>> [music] [music] >> It's your deal, Tinhorn. [music] Heat.

[02:20:33]Heat.

[02:20:59]I can't I can't put it Crystal. cuz [music] [music] [music] Wait, [music] wait, wait, wait.

[02:21:57][music] >> [music] >> Rest.

[02:22:08]>> Dave, go. Get away from here.

[02:22:11]>> That's good advice, Dave. Take it.

[02:22:15]>> I guess I don't stand a chance against you, do I, George?

[02:22:17]>> None, Dave. None at all.

[02:22:20]>> You had me liking you for a while.

[02:22:22]>> When you felt sorry for me, till you found out I wasn't a [ __ ] >> Until I found out you were lying about it. didn't start out as a lie.

[02:22:31]>> Burke did [ __ ] me. You know, for a while it almost felt good not having to gamble against every showoff that wanted to prove something with my hide. That's when I took up drumming guns.

[02:22:41]>> Seems to me you had an easy way out. Why didn't you stay with it?

[02:22:44]>> My hand started coming back to me.

[02:22:47]Something else came back with it. It's a kind of a hunger that being a good drummer can't feed. And it's hard to give up your place on top. Dave, >> what nobody knew. I knew.

[02:23:01]>> Well, if that's what you need, Jordan, why don't you take it out on fellas like Ringer? Why take it out on a woman?

[02:23:06]>> Don't you understand? She's part of it.

[02:23:08]Let me take Crystal.

[02:23:11]Dave, you're the only one who ever did anything for me I didn't make him do.

[02:23:15]You're the only one who ever did anything out of friendship.

[02:23:19]Don't make me kill you, Dave.

[02:23:23][music] Heat.

[02:23:38][music] [music] Heat.

[02:23:53]I gave you the only chance I could. De [music] [music] >> [music] >> Dave.

[02:24:43][music] Hey.

[02:24:48]>> [music] [music] >> Jordan, don't. Please.

[02:24:59]>> Why couldn't you ever have felt that way about me, Crystal?

[02:25:05]>> Get out of the way, Dave. I won't plant the next one in your shoulder. I'll shoot right through you.

[02:25:16]I can put two bullets in you before you pull that trigger. Dave, you better start.

[02:25:26][music] [music] He wasn't lying. He didn't want to kill me.

[02:25:44]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Oh, where too, Mr. Diver?

[02:26:06]Is there a town on your line called Respect?

[02:26:11]>> No, ma'am.

[02:26:16]>> I'll go as far as that'll take me.

[02:26:25]>> Ben, the 3,000 isn't just for the rideway. I'm giving you the whole ranch.

[02:26:30]Well, well, I don't think Dave or myself, either one, could accept a gift like that.

[02:26:37]We'll buy it off of you and at a fair price, but I'm afraid you'll have to take part of it in stock.

[02:26:45]But it'll be worth a fortune someday.

[02:26:48]Crystal, why don't you wait around and watch it grow?

[02:26:56]You know I want to Dave, but I owe it to Burke. When he can take care of himself again, I'll come back.

[02:27:09]That's my u charming partner.
