One More Train to Rob (1971)

[bunniefuu]

Time, honey.

So soon?

Train's due at 3:10.

You're up and dressed.

I didn't even hear you.

You're not only dressed,

you've been out.

And from the smell

of that perfume,

I know where!

Now, Katy...

Now, you know that by sunup

every sheriff within 100 miles...

Is going to be coming this way,

and I had to set up an alibi...

Always have to be a cat house!

That's better.

I've got to go.

Now?

Now.

Or we'll never make the train.

Hi, Bart.

Do me the honor, madam.

Start tonight, well...

when you change trains

at Gallup, ma'am,

if you'd like I can have your

baggage transferred over.

Thank you. That's very kind.

California, is it?

The angels have smiled on me.

That's the very place

I'm headin' myself.

Really?

Sorry, ma'am.

This close to the engine,

cinders blow in.

You want it open, lady.

Just ask Mr. Nolan.

He owns this railroad.

That's not quite

what I said, laddy.

I said I built it...

me and 5,000 paddies like me.

I'm a commercial traveler now.

Gentlemen's Haberdasher.

But that's not to say

that one day I won't

be ridin' this line

in me own private car.

That's the marvel

of this country, sonny.

If a man works

and saves and invests,

there's no tellin'

where he can go.

Somethin's wrong.

They switched to red.

What's goin' on here?

Why in hell did you stop us

on the main instead of...

switching us onto the siding?

Mister, the Westbound

Express is behind us.

Your green lighting it

to highball right into us.

Guess we better hurry.

Just stay put. Don't

nobody try and be a hero.

Hot diggity! It's a hold-up!

Tell 'em to open up.

Like hell I'll open up! Charlie!

They stopped us on the main.

The Express is due any minute!

To hell with the Express!

For the love of God, mister,

just let us get this train

on the siding.

You got eight minutes.

To hell with your eight minutes!

Another train's coming.

It's going to crash into us.

Let's get outta here!

Stay put!

Reverend,

an appropriate hymn

might be helpful.

Wake up, Mom!

You're gonna miss everything!

Charlie, you've got to open up!

Please!

She's some ahead of schedule.

My God, Charlie!

We got women

and children on board!

Move it.

You, get on the floor.

Open 'em.

Can't.

They're tagged to Flagstaff,

and that's where the keys are.

Get on the floor with him.

Tie him up.

Quarters.

That's better.

It's bolted to the floor.

Dump the silver

and use the sacks.

Go right on singin', folks.

While everybody's in the spirit,

collect the blessings.

Everybody have their money

and jewelry ready, please.

And your personals

will be returned to you.

We're only interested

in valuables.

Bless you, brother.

Now, wait a minute. Hey!

This'll be in my report

to the railroad!

Hey, come on, stop that now!

I'll have that, ma'am.

Please, sir. It was a gift

from someone very dear to me.

Well, he knew quality

when he saw it.

So do I.

You damn scoundrel!

Nothin' but dang neckties

and sleep garters in this!

Well, we'll never use 'em.

It's all yours, drummer.

Nothin' worth a hoot

in this one either.

Show's over, folks.

Everybody stay on the train.

You're some train robber!

Ain't you gonna sh**t nobody?

Him and his bloody jokes.

He damn near took

the tip off my nose.

I think you should mention it

in your report to the railroad.

Who are ya

and where are ya headed?

James Abel Gant, sheriff.

Next stop Hidalgo Wells.

Up pretty early, ain't ya?

Experience has taught me the

best time to sell a good book

is before folks leave

to go to church.

Bibles, boxes of 'em.

Anything wrong, sheriff?

Nothin' concernin' you.

Up, on your feet.

Careful with that thing, mister.

Mr. Hilborne says

they're workin' for him.

Been here for a week

buildin' fences.

They finished too late yesterday

to get to the bank

to pay 'em off,

so we're goin' into

town this mornin'.

You sure they were here

all last night?

With four bits between us,

why go anyplace?

You search their gear.

She don't get up so soon!

She going to be mad!

Have you gone loco or somethin'

bustin' in here like this?

This is business.

Train was held up

a couple hours ago

and we're checkin'

all strangers.

Who are you?

Harker Fleet.

Passin' through

on my way to Texas.

Wait a minute, Roy. What time

did you say that hold-up was?

Three-thirty.

Well, that let's him off.

He came in here

right around twelve o'clock.

We got to drinkin' pretty good,

and I don't know

who passed out first,

but I guarantee ya we're both

right where you found us

since anyways one o'clock.

Well, sorry.

Anybody in here belong to these?

Me.

And they belong to

my horse outside.

This "H.F." stand for

Harker Fleet?

He's Fleet. You two

the law from someplace?

No, I'm Eli Jones,

and this here's

my little brother, Luke.

Never heard of ya.

He's right up here, Cora Mae!

Roy, what the hell's goin' on?

I don't know.

You're that Jones.

Here, Fleet,

put on your weddin' clothes.

Baby sister's a-waitin'.

I hope you got a understandin'

preacher in this here town, sheriff.

If this is what I think it is,

I'll see to it

he accommodates ya.

You're supposed to be out

chasin' train robbers.

And you're supposed

to be dressin'.

You're gettin' better than

you deserve in Cora Mae, Fleet.

By marriage, she comes

into one-third of our ranch.

Ain't much to look at right now,

but with a little timberin'

and a little fencin',

I figure with a couple

of years' hard work,

we're gonna have it whipped.

What would you say if I told

you I was a train robber?

Don't be funny, mister.

I got a sister of my own.

No, you doooon't!

Hark, you all right?

No!

Hark!

Hark!

Nothing personal, Cora Mae.

Don't hurt him!

Don't you worry, we'll get him!

What'd you have to

go and sh**t him for?

What for?

He is a train robber, isn't he?

I hope you ain't sh*t too bad.

I don't wanna have to

tote you to the weddin'.

How badly was he hurt?

Not bad enough.

They stood him up and

married him in the mornin'.

And in the afternoon,

took him to the county seat

and put him on trial.

Trial? For what?

He married the girl!

The sheriff busted an arm

and a leg when Hark took him

through Miss Luella's window.

And he sloughed a deputy

and broke his jaw.

Added up, it got him a sentence of

three years for felonious as*ault.

At least it'll

give him a breather

before they start

house-breakin' him in Abilene.

Not that I'm

mean-mouthin' him...

but messin' with every woman

he laid his eyes on,

if you ask me,

it was bound to happen.

All right. Clear out, lads.

We'll divvy up

when Katy's more herself.

Sure sorry, Kate.

Tough luck all around.

The black iron of it, Katy, is

if he'd listened to me, he'd

never of been in Hidalgo Wells.

I was against takin' on the job.

And you know why I let

him talk me into it...

In the hope with a

good stake in his poke,

I could convince him

to quit with me.

And show him how to run it up

into a fortune investin' in land.

The bastard!

While he was

runnin' around in Abilene,

I was waitin' for him

in San Antonio.

Ten miserable days I waited.

And when he finally got there,

he said he'd been snowed in.

Well, 'twas the truth.

We were snowed in.

That's right. You were with him.

What does she... look like

this Cora Mae Jones?

Cora Mae...

I'm not sure if Cora Mae

was the librarian...

or the girl in the restaurant.

It hasn't been an easy

life for ya, has it, Katy?

But that's Hark.

Yep, that's Hark.

To hell with him!

Katy, there's the money

to be cut!

See you later!

Much later!

Everybody says that

Yuma prison's a hell hole.

I can't bear the thought of it!

They're takin' you

away today, Hark.

I'm not that brave.

I just don't want to be here

to see it.

Will you forgive me?

Three years.

Three years...

That's such a long time!

Well, the judge said...

a man goin' to prison,

that's grounds for a wife

to get an annulment

if she wants it.

Except when

there's gonna be a baby.

That.

You just don't know

how much I loved you, Hark!

When you left me,

I just couldn't stop cryin'.

Why?

Cora Mae?

You are gonna have

a baby, aren't you?

Whose idea was a baby?

Tim Nolan's?

Well...

Mr. Nolan...

How did you know?

It just sort of came to me.

I'll handle it, Mr. Nolan.

Thanks, Josh.

It came in on the morning train, Mrs.

Nolan.

It is all you said... charming.

Is it not divine, Mr. Nolan?

Isn't that the same hat

you tried on in San Francisco

last month and didn't like?

I changed my mind

and had Nanette send for it.

And, those, too?

I want you to see them all on.

I'm due at the barber's.

Ladies.

Afternoon.

Howdy, Mr. Nolan,

nice to see you.

Be right with you, Mr. Nolan.

Thank you, Lawrence.

That Nolan fella

you were talkin' to,

would that be

Timothy Xavier Nolan?

Sure is.

I had a cousin who married

a Timothy Xavier Nolan.

Wife's name be Alice?

Nope. Mrs. Nolan's name is Katy.

Caught it in a bear trap.

Bad news?

Just news.

That's the only letter you got

the whole time you've been here.

It's the only one

I need, George.

It tells me where

to find some things

that belong to me.

Won't be long now, will it?

'Nother month?

Twenty-six days.

All right, on your feet.

We're gonna make that train to

San Francisco, you better hop-to.

Be tolerant

of our customs, please.

We must frighten away any demons

that might bring misfortune

upon us.

Drop your g*ns!

Open them all if you wish.

They contain the same thing...

Rocks.

The gold bouillon...

where is it?

Safe from thieves.

We expected you.

k*ll me also. Why do you wait?

No.

Because you're comin' with us.

Easy, now. Easy.

It was bandits.

You savvy? Bandits.

They take us by surprise,

k*ll your friends,

and take the old man.

And left you

with your g*ns, deputy?

My grandfather was right

to distrust you.

Who are you?

Please, son.

What's a white man doin' throwin'

in with a bunch of chinks?

Just helpin' keep

the peace, deputy.

Where you from?

Calador.

I'd have bet money on that.

Come back here, damn you!

Would you get back

where you belong?

Any more trouble outta you

and I'll whip the hide off ya!

Monty, quick!

Sheriff.

Don't stand there.

Cut him loose!

What the hell is this all about?

My grandfather

has been kidnapped

and two of our people m*rder*d.

And these deputies you sent us

were in league

with the men who did it.

And they nearly got us k*lled

for nothin'.

They were expectin'

to be bushwhacked.

We weren't escortin' no gold.

It was rocks.

Look, you,

it's one thing askin'

the law to protect you,

but usin' my deputies as decoys,

I have a mind to

throw you all in jail!

Ask them where my grandfather

has been taken.

It is your duty to find him.

I'll look into it.

Now, you clear outta here!

You're cluttering up the street!

We'll go when

these men are jailed

for being accomplices

to m*rder and kidnapping.

You talk good. Whoever taught

you, must've taught you the law.

But it won't do you no good

chargin' anybody with anything.

A Chinaman can't bring a

complaint against a white man,

and he can't testify

against him in court neither!

Maybe a Chinaman can't,

sheriff, but I can.

You'd be delighted to know

that you've got a eyewitness

to the whole thing!

I told you to git!

Now, clear out!

Clear outta here, all of ya!

Go on, git!

Nothin' to gawk at.

Go about your business.

Mister, I got

some advice for you...

Wherever you're headin',

you just keep movin'.

I intend to.

Tell me...

do you know where Timothy

Xavier Nolan's place is?

You know Mr. Nolan?

Old friends.

Used to work in

the railroad together.

Now...

let's get this complaint thing

settled out.

How do you spell "accomplice"?

With an "s" or a "c"?

Manuel, get Nolan.

Hello, Jimmy!

You look miserable.

Stomach gas?

Thought you weren't gettin' out

for another six months.

Hark...

Hark!

Lord, boy, it's good to see ya!

You weren't due out till March.

You didn't walk off,

now, did ya?

Good behavior.

Come in, come in.

Mr. Nolan...

I think the sheriff's

bustin' to tell ya somethin'.

It'll keep. Marty,

I'll see ya in town tomorrow.

It's really urgent, Mr. Nolan.

All right. Manuel,

fix Mr. Fleet a whiskey.

Katy!

I'll be with ya in a minute.

Thanks, friend.

Wait a minute.

Rocks!

Shut up!

What do you think of the place?

Ee.

What's keepin' Katy?

Maria?

S, seor?

Tell Mrs. Nolan.

Mr. Fleet is here.

Bien, seor.

Tim, Marty's waitin'.

Jimmy, will you

give me a minute?

Ain't that big of a thing to

get straightened out, is it?

This wouldn't be about those two

deputies in the cooler, would it?

It comes to me, one's named Gant.

Kin of yours?

My brother.

Hart, lad, you're

not aware of the order

of things in these parts.

Sidin' a Chinaman

against a white man...

It just isn't taken kindly.

I noticed.

The less said about the little

fracas you ran into this afternoon

the better for all.

You'd like me to tell the sheriff

to tear up that complaint.

Considerin' it'd be

a favor to Jimmy here,

I'll sleep on it.

I want Bert out now! Right now!

Jimmy!

I should've known

he was your brother,

the way he kept talkin' about

cuttin' me up for fish bait.

Jimmy!

They'll stay

where they are for now.

Tell Monty.

Well, now, Hark...

Katy.

Hello, Hark.

That painter cheated you.

She's prettier than that.

Last we heard you had

another six months to serve.

Everybody kept track.

I'm touched.

He said he had time off

for good behavior.

Good behavior? You.

Marriage must've

calmed you down.

How are your wife and child,

by the way?

Fine, thank you. Just fine.

Are they with you?

No. Little Timothy's

a might young to travel.

Timothy?

Yes, it was Cora Mae's idea

to call him Timothy.

It sure surprised me!

Why, I didn't know you'd more

than said hello to her in Abilene.

Am I invited to dinner?

Of course. That goes

without sayin'.

I could stand a wash.

Scrape off

some of this trail dust.

You certainly could.

Upstairs. The spare room

is the one on the right.

Manuel will bring you

some hot water.

I got some clean clothes

in my bedroll.

I almost forgot.

I didn't kiss the bride.

Hope I didn't spoil your supper

by not talkin'

when we were eatin'.

It's a habit I got into

in prison.

Gonna take me some time

to get over it.

Is that another habit

you picked up in prison?

Yeah.

Haven't got back to cigars yet.

Can't afford 'em.

Why don't you try one of these?

They were made

especially for me in...

San Francisco.

Thanks.

There are no spittoons.

Not in this house.

That's all right.

Let's talk about money.

What about my share

of the last job?

I hope you didn't blow it all

on chandeliers and silver.

It's invested for ya.

Every penny of it.

Right along with mine,

Katy's and Jimmy's.

What about Red and Slim?

They took their poke and

bought a spread in Wyoming.

How much?

Your end came to 9,000.

We made the usual split...

sixty percent between

the two of us.

Maria?

Bring Mr. Fleet

a bucket or somethin'.

Is that an honest count, Katy?

I did the countin' myself.

I thought it was more.

It's not half bad

to come home to.

Cora Mae and little Timothy

sure could've used some of it.

Things have been

mighty lean for 'em.

What did you want us to do,

send someone or go ourselves?

And say, "Here's your husband's

share of the robbery money"?

Tim would've found a way

if he'd put his mind to it.

You'll not regret

what's happened to your money.

It's done considerable drawing,

right along with ours.

You mean all this, all those

places in town, I'm a partner?

Now, don't play the rue, Hark.

You know damn well what Tim has

has nothing to do with you.

Are you forgetting

the brawls we near came to?

Because of me preachin' money,

begets money?

And should be invested

and not squandered away?

It did no good.

You didn't want roots.

And while you were blowin'

every cent that came your way,

I was savin'...

planning investments

from the first dollar I earned.

That's a pot of Irish.

He means

the first dollar he stole.

How much has my 9,000 begotten?

When we ship cattle to

market, it'll be doubled.

Fifteen thousand. Not Bad.

It ought to last a while

in the best suite

and the fanciest hotel

in Frisco.

Katy...

I've been tryin'

all evening to remember

what this place puts me

in mind of.

The presidential suite we stayed

in for a week in St. Louis.

It isn't like it at all.

Sure it is.

Of course, there was chandeliers

and... satin pillows.

What a week that was.

Don't tell me

you don't remember.

All I remember

about St. Louis is

that you lost all our money

playin' poker.

We had to sneak out

of the hotel,

and I had to leave every

stitch of clothes I owned!

Except what I had on my back.

Yep!

We sure had some times.

And now here we are,

both married,

only you to Tim

and me to Cora Mae.

It's like a penny

dreadful, isn't it?

It's Reverend Pedegril

and Mr. and Mrs. Williams.

I clean forgot I told them

to drop by.

We're throwin' a barbecue

here tomorrow night

to thank the contributors

of the school building fund.

I'm sure a man like you

is just loaded down

with...

civic responsibilities.

Well...

Hark!

I guess I'm not fit

company for a reverend.

Good evening, reverend.

Mrs. Williams. John.

Come in.

Quiet, John!

Manuel, take him to the house.

Not in Chinese.

Your grandson can read English.

Well, Mr. Chang?

How different the

circumstances, Mr. Nolan,

of this meeting and our last.

You came to me,

a respected businessman,

to negotiate a loan.

You made a bad mistake

turnin' me down.

Now write what you've been told!

It will serve no purpose.

Even if I instruct my people

to deliver the gold to you,

they don't know where

it is hidden.

But, of course, you

know this, Mr. Nolan.

The gold for shipment

is not stored in the mine.

He's squirrelin' the stuff.

So it's up to him

to tell us where it's at.

Good Lord, man,

do you value your gold

above your life?

My life was without value

the moment I was brought here.

You don't dare let me live.

So that's what's worryin' ya?

Mr. Chang, you can't

bring charges against me.

Thanks to livery laws your Chinamen

are always squawkin' about,

I can set you free in a minute

and never give it

a second thought.

I am human,

therefore I am

not without fear of dying.

But the gold is not mine.

It belongs to the Heaven

and Earth Association.

An for an elder of the tong

to hurt many lives to save one,

especially his own...

would be unworthy.

For the next ten minutes,

I'm going to give thought

to Jimmy's solution.

I suggest, Mr. Chang,

you give it some thought, too.

Now, shut the doors.

I want nothing heard

up at the house.

Come in.

Sorry I wasn't here

when you dropped in before.

Where have you been?

Same Katy.

Same tone, same question.

I'm sure glad Cora Mae doesn't

have a suspicious mind.

Hark, I want a straight answer.

Now where the hell have you been?

What have you been up to?

And you can stop tossin'

Cora Mae and your child at me

because if you think it bothers

me, it doesn't. Not at all?

Not one damn bit.

Then you're probably

not interested that

she had the marriage annulled

the day after the wedding,

and there never was a child.

The only conceiving done

was in the mind

of that famous marriage broker,

Timothy Xavier Nolan.

I don't believe it.

And why shouldn't you

believe it?

It gave him a clear

sh*t at you, didn't it?

And he sure got

what he aimed for.

Well, you weren't just playing

a game at supper, were you?

Well, what are you

trying to do, Hark,

prod Tim into a fight

so you can k*ll him?

No. That'd be stupid.

He's got Jimmy Gant

and a dozen g*ns.

Besides, I didn't like him well

enough to be buried with him.

Now, you will admit, he deserves

a little rap on the knuckles

for three years

and a chain g*ng,

but after that, I'll

take my money and you,

and we'll be on our way.

You really think I'm just

gonna pick up and go with you?

I've got a surprise for you!

I like being Mrs. Timothy Nolan.

I like being married

to a kind, honest man.

I like living in my own home

instead of some... some fleabag hotel.

I... I like being...

Being respectable,

instead of always on the run,

just... just one jump ahead

of the law,

and most of all, Harker Fleet,

especially I like having you

out of my system.

It took eight of the most

miserable months of my life

before I married Tim,

but it was worth it to get

you out, and you are out.

Damn. Damn you.

Damn you to hell.

Hark.

Wrong time, wrong place, Katy.

You bastard!

What are you

trying to do, test me?

Now, what's that

supposed to mean?

If Tim has me k*lled,

he loses you.

He knew that, now I know it.

You're not gonna go jumping

back into bed with my m*rder*r.

You know what?

I just might m*rder you myself!

Now, Katy...

Katy! Katy!

Do not set the place on fire.

Ice it. It'll keep till morning.

Now, clear out!

I'm going up to bed.

Well, the closet

or under the bed?

Get him out of here, Tim!

Give him his money,

and get him out!

That's for Cora Mae,

my used-to-be wife.

That's...

for little Timothy Fleet,

may he rest in peace.

The prison thing.

It... it was never

meant to happen, you know.

As long as it was a choice between

Cora Mae and you, I'm not complaining.

I'll m*rder ya!

My own wife in my own house!

What the hell kind

of friend are you, anyway?

No worse than you, friend.

Keeping a calendar on me

all the time I was in prison!

You were gonna send Jimmy Gant

or somebody else out

to see I never got back, right?

I'll not deny

it crossed my mind.

But now that we know all that Katy wants

to see of you is the back of your head,

there's no need to k*ll ya.

That must come

as a big relief to you, Tim.

I'll make you a fast deal.

Give me 10,000,

you keep the profits.

What time does the bank open?

Well, you're

very generous, but...

You're broke.

A temporary shortage

of cash, that's all.

I'll be getting your money

for you in a couple of days.

Not from that old Chinaman,

you won't.

I left one of your hired hands

hanging from the hayloft.

You didn't really try to borrow

the money from the old man, did ya?

I did.

And I suppose

you talked yourself into it.

You'd pay him back.

I would've.

Cattle and land prices

are down now,

but six months,

they'll be back up and higher.

You know the... the difference

between you and me?

You'd never admit

you're a thief.

I mean, you wanna be

an honest man.

You just can't

get the hang of it.

Me... I'm a thief.

And I can't think of a more

enjoyable way to make a living.

You wouldn't be

entertaining the notion

of getting the Chinaman's gold

for yourself, now, would you?

It's over 100,000.

If I said I wasn't interested,

you'd know I was lying.

And that's why you wanted Bert,

Gant, and Skinner kept in jail?

To get the bloody heathens

to trust you, right?

That's part of it.

Now the gold's lost to you,

let's drink to me

having better luck.

Hark, lad!

I've got men covering

every route on those hills.

That gold can't get more than

50 yards without me knowing.

I've also got Mr. Chang.

On your own, you've got nothing!

Neither have you.

The old man's outfoxed ya.

He won't talk, and you don't dare

b*at him for fear of k*lling him.

Now, where's that leave us?

It looks like we're

back in business together.

Right.

Now, who else is in

for the split?

Or just you and me?

I knew it was coming to that.

The bank in San Francisco

won't extend me naught.

I owe them $100,000.

With me holdings

wroth five times that much,

they're waiting like vultures

to swoop down and foreclose.

Tim.

How many times

have I tried to tell you

that banks are not

to do business with?

They're to rob.

Well...

you said yourself there's

much more than 100,000 now.

Everything over is yours.

Hark, for the love of sweet

Christ, don't back off now!

I'm bloody near destroyed!

Well, it wouldn't be

the first bad deal I've made.

But I'll need some pocket money.

How much?

Twenty, forty.

I'll bill anything else

to you I need.

You know, it's going to be

very difficult

to tell Katy about us

being partners again.

Does she know about the gold?

Nope. And I don't

want her to know.

I don't blame you.

It's very important to her

that you're respectable.

But she'll ask questions.

And you know how it is

with me and Katy.

I never could lie to her.

Anybody home?

Anybody home?

Why don't you look

before you swing?

Don't you recognize me?

Where's Yung?

Tell him Harker.

Fleet...

Yung, what the devil...

What are you doing?

Here. Put me down.

Put me down!

That's enough,

you damned heathen.

You call us heathen?

No right-thinking Christian would go

up against a man with a g*n on him.

Now, call him off!

Why are you here?

To help you out.

I told you yesterday I would.

What's happened since then?

I was your friend,

you were ready to...

You and that dog Nolan

are friends.

You're staying at his house.

Now, look, if we could

just have a sensible talk...

Get out.

Or I'll hand you over

to Wong again.

All right.

I'm going.

You've gotta be loco.

She's backdoor trade.

What's wrong

with the other girls?

Knock.

Toy! You awake? You up?

Yes, Madam Nellie.

I got a customer for you.

Paid for 20 minutes.

You want out sooner,

stomp on the floor.

Good morning, sir.

Very pleased.

How come you're locked in?

Madam Nellie wishes it so.

It is a custom with my people

to have tea first.

If you no want tea,

we go to bed.

You better...

You better fix the tea.

It'll make it easier

for me to keep my mind on

what I came here to talk about.

You came to talk?

Yeah, about Yung.

He's a friend of yours,

isn't he?

More than a friend.

He loves you?

I think yes.

Well, he's up to his neck

in trouble.

He needs help.

And I'm willing to help him.

Why you come to me?

Why you not tell this to Yung?

He won't listen to me.

That's where you come in.

He'll listen to you.

On the way out to the mine,

I'll convince you.

I only wanna be his friend.

You think to take me

to the mine?

Well, why not?

You're willing, aren't you?

And Madam Nellie?

Well, five dollars

for 20 minutes,

$50 will buy us more than enough

time to get there and back.

She no let me go

for less than $500.

$500?

That is price she pay for me.

She no take chance I run away.

Two time I try.

Well, who sold you?

Me sell me.

When my father die,

my mother she need money

to take small brother

to home China.

They not happy here.

So I get money.

Well, get out of that and into

something you wear on a horse.

Well, you got something

else, haven't ya?

Yes.

Why couldn't you get the

money you needed from Yung?

Was before Yung and Honorable

Chang come to Calador.

He save now to buy me,

but no have money yet.

Couldn't he borrow it

from his grandfather?

The Honorable Chang do

not approve of what I am.

Maybe it's better

for Yung I no go.

No! It's better if you go.

The Honorable Chang

will not only approve of ya,

he'll love ya.

You think yes?

I'm sure yes.

You're not going to

pay Madam Nellie $500?

Someday.

Morning, Katy!

I knew he was a loony!

Wouldn't have a white girl!

Had to have the Chink!

Maybe we'd better stop for

a while and let you unkink?

No. I fine!

In China, we say

when happy, make

everything feel good.

You make it so I happy.

Yeah...

I figured with

the right kind of present,

I might buy five minutes

talking time.

Who could that be?

Everybody on the list

is already here.

Why, she's Chinese!

I've had my men out

searching for that little...

Watch your language!

She's my guest.

What in hell do you

think you're doing?

Goodwill.

She's the first step

to the gold.

Be sure everybody's nice to her.

I like your tailor.

He'll be getting the bill.

Miss Toy.

Our host...

Mr. Nolan.

I'm glad you've come.

His presence offends Miss Toy.

Better send him home.

Good evening, Katy.

This is Miss Toy.

Our hostess... Mrs. Nolan.

Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.

Very kind of you.

Katy, please.

Don't you get upset,

now, and make a scene.

Why should anything

he does upset me?

What's the matter?

What'd you say?

Best I can recollect, "".

That does it.

What the hell

do you think you're doing?

He insulted my girl.

Hark!

Jimmy, drop it!

Drop it!

Thanks.

We go now, Mr. Fleet, please.

I'm sorry

we can't stay for supper.

But it was a real fine party.

I can't think when

I've had a nicer time.

Please come, Mr. Fleet.

Thanks.

My grandson looks upon you

as our savior, Mr. Fleet.

Not only did you devise

the means to rescue me...

And for this I am grateful...

But Yung also believes

you can perform the miracle

of getting our gold safely

to San Francisco.

It's no miracle.

It's a matter of the

know-how to handle Nolan.

Why, Mr. Fleet?

It is, ungracious

to question a benefactor,

but I must.

Why, at peril to yourself,

do you help us?

Well, I guess

you can thank Toy for that.

She told me about what your

town does with the money.

That it goes to our sick

and poor and the very old.

And this touched you.

A man'd have to be made out

of stone not to be touched.

But how is it you... you offered

your friendship to Yung

before you knew of Toy or

what purpose our gold served?

Could it be that you were

then thinking of...

getting the gold for yourself?

I was.

But now you've had

a change of heart.

Mr. Chang,

if there was any way I could

steal that gold, I would.

But there's no way.

Not with Nolan's men covering

every route out of here.

How then do you hope

to get it out for us?

With Nolan's help.

I'll deliver the gold to him,

he'll put it on the first train,

ten miles outside Calador, we

stop the train and take over.

Simple as that.

Simple?

Mr. Chang, robbing trains

is my profession.

That is hardly a recommendation

for trust, Mr. Fleet.

I am, bewildered

by your frankness.

I'm bewildered

by everything about you.

Well, maybe if I told you

about Nolan and me...

This is another thing to which

I cannot adjust my mind.

You are a guest in his house,

yet you speak of betraying him.

Isn't it more likely

it is us you will betray?

That you are working with Nolan and that

even my escape was arranged between you?

Mr. Chang,

I came to Calador

to k*ll Tim Nolan.

He stole my woman from me and

almost three years of my life.

He snags the woman.

If I k*ll him, I lose her.

Now, the next best payoff

is to take everything from him

that makes his life

worth living.

Without your gold,

he's destroyed.

I, scolded Yung as foolish

when he insisted

you were helping us

because you're

a humane, good man.

In the wisdom of my years,

I could not accept this,

but now that you tell me your

reasons are evil, for cruel revenge,

I find it easy to accept

and understand.

This will be difficult for me to... to

explain when I go to my ancestors.

Jimmy, you better stay here.

I'm going if you have to

tie me on.

Well, I'll be damned!

The almighty gall of ya.

We were just heading out

to find you!

I thought you might,

so I hurried.

The Chinese wanted proof

I was on their side,

so I gave it to them.

By letting the old Chinaman

slip away?

He was my ace in the hole.

He wasn't worth two deuces

in the barn. I...

It's all right.

I told her.

You're forgiven

for breaking up the party,

but, you coulda saved Tim

a lot of name-calling

if you'd just let us know

what you were up to.

Easier doing things my way.

I got myself hired to deliver

that gold to San Francisco.

They're just gonna

hand it over to ya?

Tomorrow night, 9:00.

$116,000 worth.

It took a lot of persuading.

I could use a drink.

They let you see it?

You counted it?

I saw it, I didn't count it.

I take their word for it.

Where the devil

did they hide it?

In the expl*sives cave.

Two ingots to a can

of blasting powder,

and if that gives you

any ideas, forget it.

They got it rigged

to blow a stranger to hell.

It's all too easy.

That old Chink's smart.

Tim...

you got a higher opinion of

Mr. Chang than he has of you.

I persuaded him your men'd be

looking for a heavy guarded shipment.

They wouldn't even bother to stop

a carriage with just me in it.

The San Francisco train

comes through on Tuesday.

Why is he letting you bring

the gold out Sunday night?

There's a whistle stop

midnight freight.

No Wells Fargo car, no guards.

Mr. Chang's waiting

for me to take it.

Wanna know how I sold him on it?

By guaranteeing that you didn't

have the brains to think of it.

Well, I'll not

make a liar out of ya.

That's the way

the gold will get there,

only it'll be me taking it.

You won't mind

if I meet you on the road.

We'll come back here

together and make the count.

100,000 to me,

and the rest to you.

Yeah, I thought

you'd wanna meet me.

Well, Katy,

bring out the glasses.

We've got

some celebrating to do.

Me for bed. I've had a busy day.

Your boys are still outside.

Jimmy might just be riled enough

to take a potshot at me

through the window.

You can't afford that.

Lord love him.

It's my welfare the

lad's always thinking of.

Him turning thief doesn't

bother you at all, does it?

You're just as happy about

seeing that gold as he is.

Happy, Hark?

He'd fall apart if he was broke.

And I'd feel like a

bitch leaving him.

When you walked

through that door,

it was all over for Tim and me.

You knew it.

It just took me a little

longer to realize it.

We better stay right here.

This could turn into

a hell of a situation.

Wherever you go

when you leave here,

take me with you, please.

Can you still pack

in five minutes?

In two, if I have to.

Are you that tired

you can't make the stairs?

I just thought

of another problem.

Don't get over-eager

and come closer than the

first turn-off to the mine.

And come alone.

Leave your army here.

The Chinese might hear 'em

and get spooked.

Laddy, boy,

you might've sold the

Chinese I was stupid,

but you know better.

Jimmy, what are you doing?

This damn rattler

was nesting in there.

What in blazes?

It's all there, Nolan!

Hark, lad.

What fool game are you playing?

You had your little joke.

Have done with it!

The gold bars

are worth 4,000 each.

Throw my share on the ground.

Quit stalling, Nolan!

Four of 'em!

Jimmy, you come on out

and get in the carriage.

And gallop those horses,

don't walk 'em!

Yah!

Nice and quiet.

Run over there

and get that gold for me.

No.

Run and you might have a chance.

Three more seconds here

and you're a dead man.

One, two...

Don't sh**t! It's me, Lynn!

I got him.

Boyle, you get the horses.

Mr. Fleet!

Get down! There's

more across the road!

You know, Wong is there.

You know, I... I went to a lot of

trouble to get you those g*ns.

Why didn't you use 'em?

We have missed.

Put me down, you overgrown ox!

Well, thank him anyway.

Get the g*ns and amm*nit*on.

The hatchets, too.

You took the chance of them

k*lling you for us, didn't you?

Not exactly.

Nolan did your people a favor.

He didn't show up alone.

So... nothing's changed.

Put it in the wagon.

Now, what is she doing here?

How you make robbery without me?

They no speak English.

Yeah...

Ridiculous, isn't it?

It is better to have more than

one with you to translate.

And we told my grandfather

Toy was needed to help

and was not afraid.

This pleased the Honorable Chang.

He smiled at me.

This changes things some.

Get two of those horses,

hitch 'em to the wagon.

We'll have to meet the train at

a different place, a lot further.

Hoo! Yee-haw!

Manuel, take a trunk to the barn

and we'll re-pack it.

You can all watch if you like.

Where's Hark?

Katy, come into the house.

He's dead, isn't he?

It was him or me, Katy.

He came at me sh**ting.

He was like a madman.

It must've been in his mind

to k*ll me when he came here.

And I went to meet him

alone like he asked.

You heard him!

Let it be, Tim.

Nothing happened I wasn't

afraid of from the start.

I hoped he was...

It was a fool hope.

Tim, you better

come out here quick.

Easy, now.

Hark's alive.

Just him and the Chinks.

No sign of our men.

Get into town and bring Monte

with every man he's got.

We're going after him.

No, you bloody fool.

He'll be going after us.

Now, roust out

whatever hands are left.

We'll need every g*n.

Eddie, look!

What's happening? I don't know!

Everybody behave.

Nobody'll get hurt.

Mister, we're... we're only

carrying freight and livestock.

Chinese train robbers?!

We ask your pardon, sirs.

In San Francisco, I will compensate

the railroad for the inconvenience.

What are you trying to do,

give my profession a good name?

Mr. Nolan.

If what you're moving

is that valuable,

you need all these men,

it's against the company rule

to take it on ordinary freight.

You'll have to wait

for a Wells Fargo car.

Mr. Kleinschmidt.

My company gives the

railroad a lot of business.

I don't think they'd like you

offending a good customer.

I'm not sticking my neck out.

If somebody else

wants to, all right.

I'll telegraph

the super's office.

Well? What are you waiting for?

Get it over there.

Damn it, you didn't

have to k*ll him!

All right, come on, come on!

Katy!

What are you doing here?

Hark isn't dead, Tim.

You wouldn't have all those

men with you if he were.

Katy, go home.

You're expecting him to

hit the train, aren't you?

In Heaven's name, girl,

go home, please!

How far back do the lies go?

Tell me!

Now, Hark was right

about you, wasn't he?

Wilson!

Drive Mrs. Nolan home,

and see that she stays there

till I get back.

Think back to how things

were for us before.

They can be the same again.

Blow whistle again, please.

Always is two whistle

when train come to station.

Eddie, we're never

gonna make this stop.

All right. This'll do.

Get this crate over here.

Monte, get up to the engine.

I don't want anybody looking

for the baggage, man.

Five are riding here with

me, the rest up front.

Front for me. I want Hark.

Come on, get it aboard!

Get the crate over here, Jimmy.

Come on! Get this trunk off!

Go back.

Take my word, I can use this.

Get off.

They're coming out the back!

His signal.

You go now, please. Fast.

Come on!

Let's get the hell out of here!

Jimmy, get back!

Hark, you bloody idiot!

The gold's getting away!

It's lost the both of us!

Yeah, but I don't feel so bad!

I got myself invited

to a Chinese wedding.

To give the bride away.

You mean to say it was in your

mind to let them keep the gold?

You can't stand it, can ya?

Neither can I.

Jimmy?

As soon as I start f*ring...

Hark!

Katy, get out of here!

Do what he says!

Get out of here!

Yah!

It's over for ya, laddy, boy!

Damn it!

You're the devil's

own son, Hark.

Lord love ya.

You're grieving for me.

Katy, I'll find no peace if I

thought I'd left you uncared for.

The ranch and all,

they've got to be saved.

Hark can do it for ya.

Me?

The Chinamen, Hark.

They're your friends.

They'll lend you the money.

When you pay them back,

there'll be nothing but

riches for you and Katy.

Half a million dollars, lad.

That's more than you

can steal in a lifetime.

Promise... promise me you'll...

look after things for her.

You'll not let her

lose anything.

You're sweet, darling.

I b*at you after all.

You're a rancher now.

Who knows? A month, six months,

you may even come to like it.

The favor I owed you, Katy.

I hobbled

and saddled him for you.

His wild... stallion days

are over.

Get the carriage.

We'll take him home.

That untrustworthy

son of a bitch.

He's done it to me again.
