03x03 - Siege at Jubilee

[bunniefuu]

Better separate, Devon.
That posse's closing fast.

Suits me.

Give me the saddle bags.

Be a fool to split with
a young greenhorn like you.

[ g*nshots ]

Mike,
hang this on the fence.

Okay.

You ain't kidding me,
are you, Slim?

Miss Daisy's riding
all the way to Cheyenne?

Yep, got
some shopping to do.

Here she comes now.

Great day in the morning,
I'd better dust off them seats.

Slim.

I hope that Mose will
keep that thing on the road.

He kind of comes unhitched
when you're around.

Oh, now.

Howdy, Miss Daisy.

Good morning, Mose.

Sure glad you're going
to be aboard, ma'am.

Ooh.

Thank you.

[ laughing ]

Slim, you better go in
and talk to Jess.

He's getting stubborn again.

Oh, no.

We can't let him back out now,
what would Mike think?

Oh, you're right.

I'll get him
one way or the other.

Are you coming?

Daisy went to a lot of trouble
to take you to Cheyenne.

You can't back out now.

That's real easy
for you to say

when I'm the one
with a sore tooth.

All you have to do is
go to the dentist with her

in Cheyenne.

He'll fix you up.

I'd rather go
to the doc, Slim.

Look, he won't be back
to Laramie for 6 weeks.

We've been all through this,
Jess--you can't wait that long.

I can wait.

You're setting
a fine example for Mike.

He sees you balk, we'll never
get him to a dentist.

Now come on.

[ sighs ]

It'll be my pleasure to
introduce you around Cheyenne,

Miss Daisy.

There ain't many that
knows that town the way I do.

Oh, well, thank you, Mose.

Oh, here's Jess.

Now you be a good boy,
darling.

What you got on your hair,
Mose?

Sure smells funny.

Well, I just put
a little hair tonic on, son.

I ain't hankering to be
smelling of horses

and harness leather
for the rest of my life.

Do I really have to,
Slim?

Yes, you really
have to, Jess.

Better get rolling,
Mose.

Everybody
is in such a hurry.

Now you two
take good care of each other.

We will.

Good luck.

Go on, go on.

Oh, Miss Daisy.

Go on.

Oh.
Stage will be leaving
in a few minutes, Miss Daisy.
I just thought I'd warn you.

Don't worry,
I have most of my shopping done.

How do you feel?

Oh, much better, thanks.

Good, you wait here,
I'll be right back.

Perhaps you'd like to meet
Miss Jenkins.

She is a wonderful person,
single too.

Some other time,
huh, Miss Daisy?

I don't feel
so good right now.

Oh, but I thought
you were feeling better.

Well, it comes and goes,
see, and right now it's back.

What a shame.

I'll hurry.

Hold it, mister!

[ glass shattering ]

[ clicks ]

Come on out, mister.

You can't blame a man
for trying.

Don't count on it.

Come on.

Oh, thank you.

I sure do appreciate

you agreeing to let Jess
help me out, Mrs. Cooper.

Well, I'm afraid I can't take
any credit for that.

He wouldn't have had it
any other way.

If I'd have known
Jess was in town,

I'd have deputized him

to take Devon to Laramie
in the first place.

Are you sure
he is one of the men

that robbed
the Laramie bank?

Well, the description
sure fits, ma'am.

As I told Jess, I had a posse
trailing the two of them.

They split up.

The other fella
got away with the money.

We caught up with Devon
over by Jubilee

between here and Laramie.

We didn't come through
any place called Jubilee.

No, ma'am, you didn't,

it's a deserted mining town
on the old road.

Are you going to
stand there all day, sheriff?

Least you could do when you ask
a lady to leave town

is open the stagecoach
door for her.

I beg your pardon.

Sure you wouldn't rather
take a later stage?

Mercy, I wouldn't miss this
for anything.

There's Jess.

Is that the man with him?

That's him.

Hobey Devon.

Better get aboard,
Mrs. Cooper.

Sorry about the lump,
sheriff,

especially since it didn't do
neither of us any good.

You'll get your lumps
where you're going.

Yeah?

Only I'm not there yet, am I?

Inside, Devon.

Bates.

Hold the coach!

Hold it, hold it!

Thank you, sheriff,
thank you much.

Good luck, Jess.

Sure appreciate
you helping me out.

Glad to help you out,
sheriff.

Unexpected pleasure
riding with you, Opal,

and these fine folks.

Hmm, speak for yourself,
Frazer.

Say, where'd you get
enough cash

for the stage fare
anyway, huh?

Lady luck, my dear,
lady luck.

I hear you didn't pay
for your trip.

Oh, shut up, Frazer,
I didn't steal that miner's poke

and you know it.

If you were falsely accused,
my dear,

you should have appealed
to the sheriff.

Oh, please
don't "my dear" me, lady.

You wouldn't have any idea
of what I was talking about.

Now, Opal, the lady
is only trying to be nice.

Clemson Frazer, ma'am,
at your service.

Don't mind Opal,
she's a bit upset, Mrs...

Cooper, Daisy Cooper.

Pleased to meet you,
ma'am.

Clemson Frazer, sir.

[ chuckles ] Seems we ain't
appreciated much.

You're that Hobey Devon,
ain't you?

Could be.

I've been hearing a lot
about you in the last few days.

Did you really get $20,000
from that Laramie bank?

What do you think?

[ horse neighing ]

Devon's on the coach
headed for Laramie.

Sheriff deputized a ranch hand
named Harper to take him.

Just one deputy?That's all.

There's a driver,
man passenger, two women.

We shouldn't have any trouble
getting him off

with the help we got aboard.

Sounds good.

We'll ride across the foothills
and throw up a roadblock.

DRIVER: Whoa!
Now settle down! Whoo!

Just sit back, deputy.

And keep your hands
in your lap.

If this is your idea
of a holdup, mister,

you're liable to be
a little disappointed.

Some friends of mine
will be here shortly

and you can take it up
with them.

There ain't nothing
on this stage worth stealing.

Oh, yes, there is.

Something worth $20,000.

You shouldn't have held out
on Burrows that way, Devon.

What do you know
about Burrows?

Oh, I did some favors for him
in the past,

and this payoff
ought to be mighty good.

Who's Burrows?

Devon's partner
in that bank job.

Only he didn't get the money

the way
everyone thought he did.

But he'll probably
be here later.

Like I said,
you can ask him.

And he'll probably
ask you some questions too,

and you'd better know
the answers.

Whoa!

Stay put, deputy,
stay put.

Broke the trace,
we're gonna have to fix it.

All right, everybody,
move it now.

What in top hat's
going on here?

I'm not sure, Bates,
but whatever it is,

it means trouble.

How long will it take you
to fix that trace?

Oh, it shouldn't take long.

I can get it back together
some way.

What was he doing,
trying a holdup?

No, not exactly.

We'd better wait outside
while you're fixing it.

We'll be sitting ducks
in here.

You first, Miss Daisy.

What kind of trouble
are you expecting?

A g*nman named Burrows
is out to take my prisoner.

He's got some men with him.

Outside, Devon.

This gent tipped his hat
when you started to pull up.

Thought it was his friends
stopping the coach.

Over there.

What are we gonna do,
turn back?

I'm not sure yet.

Climb down, Frazer.

That'll be enough of that!

He had it coming and more.

You just let me
handle it, huh?

Come on, miss.

Mm, ladies first, huh?

Just stand over
by your friend Frazer.

Look, I didn't have
anything to do with this.

A waste of time, lady,
he ain't worth it.

All right, Frazer,
what was the plan?

I don't know, I don't know.

Frazer.

Well, as it didn't work out,
won't you help us now?

I was supposed to
keep you covered

when the stage was stopped.

Burrows and his men
were gonna take Devon

and make him show them
where he hid the money.

Where were
they gonna stop us?

I don't know, some place
between here and Laramie.

Where were they coming from?

Nobody ever told me.

A big fella named Truk
gave me money enough

to pay for the stage
in-in Cheyenne.

That's all I know,
I swear it!

We can't turn back.

They could be
in back of us by now.

Yeah, and they could have
cut across the foothills

and be in front of us too.

How far is it
to the Jubilee turnoff?

A mile or so.

You thinking of taking
the old road into Laramie?

Maybe, take longer

but it might throw
those hard cases off our trail.

Nobody living in Jubilee,

that road could be
in pretty bad shape.

DEVON: It's passable.

Might be slow
but it'll get you to Laramie.

We'll try it, Bates.

Get that trace fixed
in a hurry, huh?

Sheriff tells me
the posse caught up

with you over by Jubilee.

Don't figure
on getting off there, Devon.

I haven't any notion
what you mean, deputy.

Just a warning,

in case
you left anything there.

Can't figure
what's holding them up.

Should have been here
long before now.

Yeah, well,
if that Frazer slipped up,

he's sure gonna
wish he hadn't.

One way to find out.

Yeah.

It shouldn't be too difficult
to pick up their trail.

But remember,
I want Devon alive.

It's about ready, Jess.

Right.

Are you sure you can
handle things inside, Witmore?

No problem.

[ indistinct ]

If Burrows does show up,

how about turning Devon
over to him?

What he deserves.

Maybe so.

As long as we got him,
they'll take it easy on us.

They want him alive.

DEVON: Seems like I'm
your ace in the hole, don't it?

You know,
if Burrows was to take me,

he wouldn't think twice

about leaving the rest of you
for the coyotes.

He's about
as low as they come.

[ scoffs ]

Since you double-crossed him,
what does that make you?

He threw down on me,
tried to take all the money.

Settle back, Devon.

Don't worry about him,
ladies,

I know his kind inside
and out.

Now what's that
supposed to mean?

Well, maybe you didn't
recognize the name.

Witmore, Matthew Witmore.

Oh, yeah,
I should have known.

Territorial prison.

Are you the warden?

The one they call "The Whip"?

I've heard some of the boys
up there call me that.

Anyone gets out of line,

they generally find out
whether it's true.

BATES: Jess,

did the best
I could with this tug.

It's still kind of weak-like.

Good, Bates.
All right, climb aboard.

We're rolling.

Over there, Devon.

Now don't you worry
about a thing, Miss Daisy,

I'll be riding shotgun
with the driver.

Worry?
Me?

It's the most interesting trip
I have ever taken.

Giddyup there, Tony!

Oh!

I'm sorry I can't let go.

You better hold it.

You're pretty good at reaching
for other people's property.

Never stole before,

never would this time,
but I was at the end of my rope.

At your age?

Since '65, ma'am,
I ain't had more than $20

at any given time.

I've done everything
I could to earn it straight.

For me it just don't work.

Amen, brother.

What was your plan?

Serve your time,
come back for the money?

Might be worth it.

Not at my prison.

I've been through worse.

Yeah, where?

Prisoner of w*r
at Camp Douglas.

The way the North ran
that place made Andersonville
look like a Sunday picnic.

That may be.
The way I heard it,

there was a bank teller
k*lled in that holdup.

Maybe they'll hang you
before you ever get to us.

That was Burrows doing,
not mine.

Last time I k*lled
was at Chickamauga.

Were you at Chickamauga?

Yes, ma'am,

General Bright's brigade,
Tennessee Army.

Why do you ask, ma'am?

My son was there.

He was under General Thomas,
the Union Army.

He was k*lled there.

[ marshaling horses ]

I don't know
which is gonna give out first,

this coach or me.

Oh!

Just keep your seats.

Well, now what do you think
we are trying to do?

Watch out for that rut!

Hold it, friend.

Toss that g*n aside.

Now climb down.

Hold it.

Well, let me help Jess,
he's hurt.

Never mind him,
we've got other things to do.

Frazer,
get Witmore out here.

After that, get the keys
to these cuffs from the deputy.

Hurry it up, Frazer!

Okay, uh, Opal, help me,
lend me a hand, will you?

You, uh, don't think

you're going to get away
with this, do you, Devon?

Right now, I'm letting these
g*ns do my thinking for me.

Oh, oh, I'm faint.

[ gasping ]

Sit right there,
right there.

[ g*nsh*t ]

Hold it, Devon!

Oh, Jess.

Thanks for the help,
Miss Daisy.

I didn't know
what else to do.

When in doubt, faint.

Good going, Jess.

I'm sorry about the wheel
but when that tug broke

I couldn't do anything
with the team.

That's all right, Bates.

What are we going to
do now?

I don't know.

Let's take a look.

You all right, Witmore?

I'll make it.

But that wheel won't.

I figure Jubilee
is just over that rise.

We still got the horses.

Yeah, four of them
and seven people,

two of them women.

Condition this
Jubilee road's in

it's no place
to be riding blind.

We'll walk into Jubilee.

If you want a ride so bad,

you're welcome to fetch yourself
after we get there.

See if you can get those
horses ready, will you, Bates?

BATES: Sure enough.

Get anything we need out
of that coach, will you?

Canteens, blankets,
anything we can use.

You figure
you're in charge now, deputy?

That's the way it is,
Witmore.

And this backs me up.

But I'm willing to take it off
if you want to argue the point.

Give him a hand,
will you, ma'am?

If it hurts,
grit your teeth.

Does it?

No, ma'am.

That's what
my ma used to say

whenever I'd stub my toe
or get a knot.

Grit your teeth.

It helps.

Really it does.

Your mother live out west?

No, ma'am,
she died during the w*r.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was gone.

When I got back...

there was nothing.

I've been drifting ever since.

I guess
when old Witmore gets me

in that prison of his
my drifting days will be over.

I'm not sure it's ever
too late to start over,

make up for your mistakes.

Who'd believe
I'd ever want to do that?

I would.

It don't make sense,

them wheel tracks
take the Jubilee cutoff.

Yeah, they must have smelled
a nice little old rat.

Yeah, a rat
by the name of Frazer.

Yeah.

Come on.

Hey, you ain't aiming for us

to navigate this road
in the dark, are you?

You got a better idea?

I got no use for walking,
I can tell you that.

Come dark, you could snap
a horse's leg real easy--

All right,
we'll take it real easy.

They can't move
any faster than we can.

You sure you don't
want to wait till sunup?

I'm leaving right now.

Jess, if we're gonna
stay in the saloon,

you want me to tie
the rest of horses round back?

Yeah,
I guess we'd better.

Put them someplace close
but out of sight, huh?

Sure enough.

I hope you know
what you're doing,

going back the way we came.

That old road gets worse
between here and Laramie.

At least I know
what to expect if I go back.

Does that include Burrows
and his men?

I don't think
they'll try to move at night.

Yeah, well, just the same,
I'd keep an eye out.

Yeah, you better do the same.
Give me a leg up.

We better get inside.

Gonna hang that lantern out

so Burrows and his men
can ride right in on us?

We'll stay in the back room,

we can block out
any light in there.

Don't worry about your friends
getting to you, Devon.

I'll be right
beside you all the time.

Thanks, deputy.

I'll also be right beside you
if you try to get to the money.

The money?

It's here in Jubilee,
ain't it?

You seemed kind of
anxious-like to come this way.

Besides, the sheriff told me
the posse caught up

with you around here.

It all adds up.

It's a pretty good size town.

Go on and look for it.

You want that money to rot,
Devon?

Just like you will in a cell?

I'll be back for it
one of these days.

Help me get this stuff inside.

Come on, Devon,

we don't have to
take it out on her.

Oh, thank you.

Don't mention it.

Would you light the way,
Miss Daisy?

This ain't gonna work,
Burrows.

One of the horses
already started to pull up lame.

All right, we'll camp up
ahead here till daylight.

Camp over here.

Even at Judgment Day,
Miss Daisy,

you'll be tidying things up
before you go.

And you and Slim and Mike
will be coming right along

behind me
mussing them up again.

Well, things seem
quiet enough in here.

I'm gonna check outside,
see how Bates is doing.

It's getting cold,
you'll be needing these.

Why, thank you, ma'am.

It was either stay here
and freeze to death

or try escaping.

This kinda changes things.

You know, I'd forgotten
all about those.

But I'm not worried.

You're both nowhere
near as bad as you make out.

Excuse me, I want to go
and cheer up Mr. Frazer

if I can.

I don't know
how to take her.

I wish I never met her.

She's my ma
and preacher back home,

schoolmarm,

first sweetheart
all rolled into one.

Oh, come on.

You're not gonna let her
stop you, are you?

You've been doing an awful
lot of talking

without making much sense.

Of course the money's here,

but it might as well be
in Siberia.

Listen, if I help you
get out of here,

will you cut me in on it?

You got the money
hunger too, huh?

When you can't do it
any other way, you steal.

Yeah, I got the hunger.

So you did take that
miner's poke, huh?

Oh, look,
he had it coming to him

just the way
you said Burrows did.

All right, all right.

No point in us fighting.

Well, will you cut me in?

Sure, why not?

That money is an awful
long way from here,

even though
it's just down the street.

Does this bring it
any closer?

Closer than
I ever figured.

That deputy
comes in here alone,

you can get the drop on him
easy enough.

Then jumping the stage driver
shouldn't be too difficult.

I'll get him over here.No, wait, wait.

No, I'm not going to wait.

Burrows could be on his way.

Deputy!

Deputy,
I don't feel so good.

What's your trouble?

It's not mine...

it's yours.

All right, lift your hands now
nice and slow.

You're making a mistake,
Devon.

Maybe,
but it's done now.

Come on over to the table.

Come on, move along.

Opal's gonna need light
to get these bracelets off

once you give her the key.

All right,
where is it?

You're the pickpocket,
you find it.

I'll just do that, deputy.

DEVON: Don't move.

Do as he says, Miss Daisy.

Hobey Devon,
you give me those g*ns.

You stay back,
Mrs. Cooper.

Hobey, the g*ns now.

Stay where you are,
Miss Daisy.

Don't move, Harper.

I'll drop you
right where you stand.

I don't think you will.

You haven't k*lled
since Chickamauga, remember?

That doesn't mean
I can't do it again.

I think it does.

You had good reason then,
you haven't any now.

I think $20,000
is good reason enough.

Don't listen to her, Hobey.

Do you really want to
make him a k*ller?

I thought as much,
I'm glad.

You see, I'm not the only one
who cares what happens to you.

I'll take the g*ns now.

Thank you, Hobey.

You won't regret it.

Hope you're right, ma'am.

Well, you're real proud
of yourself, aren't you?

I'm sorry, Opal,

I just couldn't go
through with it.

Well, now there's a saying men
seem to be pretty handy with.

"I couldn't go
through with it."

Well, I guess
I couldn't go through with it

either this time.

But I was sure hoping that
I had found the man who could.

Well, I've been
wrong before.

[ horse approaching ]

What's up?

A rider coming.

Wake the others, tell 'em
to spread along the road

and take it easy.

It might be Devon
making a break for it.

Right.

[ grunting ]

Well, I'll be.

You know him?Yeah.

I wasn't sure when I seen him
get on that stage at Cheyenne.

But I was right.

This here, boys, is The Whip.

Mr. Matt Witmore hisself.

The warden, are you sure?

You want to see my back?

I got the scars to prove it
and he done it.

Why, you--Wait, wait.

From that coach,
you know where Devon is.

Let's start talking, Witmore.

Truk, you want to
make him talk?

Ain't nothing suit me
any better.

The earlier start we get,
the better.

We have to double up
on our horses,

so it will be slow going.

You think Witmore made it?

We can only hope he did.

What's on your mind,
Devon?

Well, I got
something to say.

Make it fast,
we ain't got much time.

It was a long night.

I-- I didn't sleep
but I did some thinking.

Mrs. Cooper
here made me realize

I've been on the wrong road.

I think it's time
I got back on the right one.

Now before we leave,
I'll take you to the money.

You can return it.

[ g*nsh*t ]

[ gasps ]

Witmore didn't make it.

Now we really got trouble.

Deputy?

Deputy!

Can you hear me?

Yeah, I hear you!

Want to do a little trading?

What's left of Witmore
for Devon.

What about the rest of us?

Once we get
what we've come for,

you'll be free
to leave here.

Please, Harper, help me.

Witmore looks like

they drug him
all the way back.

Yeah.

I hate to think
what'd happen to us...

whether we give him
Devon or not.

There just might be a way
out of this

if you're willing
to take a chance on me.

All right, let's hear it.

Now Burrows won't be hurting me
till I dig up the money.

If I do dig it up...

none of you going to
live long afterwards.

Burrows don't leave
many witnesses.

Yeah, I've been
thinking about that.

You hide that derringer on me,

let me go out
and trade for Witmore.

They'll all be interested
in the money,

so I'll take them
to the stable where I buried it.

You planning on
digging it up for 'em?

No, let them dig it up.

When they do,
I'll bring out the derringer.

And if you and the driver here
happen to be handy,

maybe we can get to them
before they get to us.

You'd better
make up your mind, deputy,

we ain't got all day.

All right,
he's coming out!

Just try and stall him, huh?

Give us time to get set.

It shouldn't be too hard.

Burrows will probably say
I'll still get a split

if I'll show him
where the 20,000 is.

We're counting on you,
Devon.

All of us.

Howdy, Burrows.

I've been wondering
how I'd get word to you

where the money is.

Now I can just show you.

Real nice of you, Devon.

Kind of hoped you'd feel
this way about the whole thing.

Witmore told us
just about everything

we needed to know
including the fact

the money was hid
right here in Jubilee.

You worked him
over pretty good.

I never did care
much for wardens.

Uh, do I still get a split?

Sure.

Sure, we're just about
even up now, Devon.

All right, let's go.

Keep an eye on the saloon,
Charlie.

The rest of you,
come on.

[ gasps ]

There.

Mr. Frazer, please.

Yes, ma'am.

Would you go
and stand guard at the door

as Jess asked you to?

That's why
he gave you the g*n.

I'd feel much safer.

Yes, ma'am.
Okay.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, I found it!

Give it to me.

All right,
hold it right there.

All right, hold it!

Drop it.

Get their g*ns,
Bates.

All right, back up.

[ grunting ]

[ g*nshots ]

Watch 'em, Bates.

[ grunts ]

Boy, I thought
you'd never get back.

I had that feeling
once or twice myself too.

Then I thought
how much you would miss us,

so we dropped everything,
came right home.

And it is home.

Miss Daisy, Jess.

Slim.

That tooth must have had
awful long roots.

Yeah, it sure did,
clean down to my boots.

Yeah, sure.

What happened, Miss Daisy,
he get lost in some saloon?

As a matter of fact,
we both did.
