01x30 - Last Train to the Fair

[bunniefuu]

- [Click]
- Ahh.

There is a work of sheer beauty.

Never knew fancy scratchings
to make a g*n sh**t any better.

Fancy scratches?
That's etchings, my boy.

No other g*n
done quite like her.

- Now a g*n’s a g*n. It’s all in the man behind it.
- Is that a fiat?

I'll have you know that I won every
target sh**t at the Sacramento Fair...

- for the past six years.
- [Click]

- Well, now, that makes it all kind of too bad.
- What does?

'Cause I'm afraid your winning streak's
gonna have a break in it this year.

- Oh, now is that a fact?
- Well, there's one consolation.

- Uh-huh. What's that?
- Oh, it will all stay in the family.

[Laughing]

- Good morning, Silas.
- Good morning.

All the bags are in the
carriage except Miss Audra's.

Good. I think you got enough
food in here to feed an army.

- Mrs. Barkleys orders before she went to Sacramento.
- [ Chuckles ]

Don't make a statement like
that to me, boy, and walk away.

- Twenty dollars against that scratched-up r*fle of yours.
- Twenty dollars?

Well, now, you can't back up your
challenges with much of a bet now, can you?

Nick, will you see what's keeping
Audra? We're gonna miss the train.

You tell your brother about
my target sh**ting, will you?

- I don't know what he said, but take the bet.
- Forty dollars!

Boy, howdy, I think he's
rattled. That's half the winning.

Oh, Silas, did you put Miss
Audra's pickled cucumbers in there?

Right in here. I sure hope
she wins a ribbon this year.

Silas, why do you think Mrs.
Barkley went up to the fair in advance...

to be on the
planning commission?

- She went up there to buy off those cucumber judges.
- Oh, Mr. Barkley.

- [ Knocking ] - [ Nick] Last train
to the fair leaving in a half hour.

- Come in.
- Come on, come on, come on. You're holding everybody up.

- Would you get my bags for me, please?
- All right.

Oh, it happens
every time I rush.

- What happens every time you rush?
- I don't turn out right.

You turn out right enough to get your
proper share of looks from the boys.

- I wouldn't worry about it.
- I'm not in the least bit concerned about the boys.

[Laughing]

- Oh, Nick, I forgot my bag. I'll be right down.
- [ Nick ] All right. Hurry up.

[Nick] Come on, Audra.

Be right there.

Come on, come on, come on.
Time and trains wait for no man.

- Where are my cucumbers?
- I got 'em right here.

- Don't drop that.
- I'd rather cut off my arm.

Oh, excuse us.

Audra, you're
holding up the parade.

- He's not in the depot.
- I know. He's in the hotel.

[ Knocking ]

- Yes?
- It's the bellboy, Dr. Travers.

- What is it?
- A message for you, sir.

- Well?
- Uh, I'm sorry, sir.

There just wasn't a seat
left on the morning stage.

Well, I explained at the desk how
important it was for me to get passage-

I checked myself, sir.
There just wasn't a seat left...

not even up with the driver.

- What about a train?
- Oh, uh, there's a train, uh...

goin' to Sacramento in a little while,
but-but nothin' else till tomorrow.

How little is a little while?

- You said you were goin' to Modesto?
- I've changed my mind.

Well, train leaves at 3:00.

That's in about 15 minutes.

- Look, okay, son, thanks.
- Oh, sure thing.

Hey, uh, you want me to
carry your case for you?

- No, thanks. I can handle it.
- Oh, okay.

Oh, uh, if you're going to Sacramento,
uh, you might look in at the fair.

Well, uh, thanks, son.

- I just might, uh, do that.
- Good-bye.

Wee-haw!

[ Yelling, Whooping]

Hey, for a! Ole'!

[All Laughing]

By George, there should be a
state fair every day in the year.

Your liver wouldn't stand it.

If my liver can survive
all that red-eye...

I guess I can stand this imported
juice to drink today, huh, Jarrod?

Charlie, nothing will
ever slow you down.

Ten dollars says my Brahma
takes yours in the judging, Jarrod.

Now, Ab, I thought you
learned your lesson last year.

Is it a bet?

- All right, it's a bet.
- Good.

- Let's make it 20. I feel lucky.
- Done.

- [Chuckles] - Oh, excuse me.
I'm looking for the smoking lounge.

Oh, well, this is the last
car. It's up the other way.

- I'm sorry. This a private party.
- Excuse me, Jarrod. Oh, hello.

- How have you been?
- Hello.

Charlie. Charlie Wellman.

Uh, Dr. Travers, Mr. Wellman.
Uh, have we met before?

Well, I thought we had. I
guess I made a mistake.

- Excuse me, Doctor.
- And excuse me.

I'm Jarrod Barkley, Doctor.

If you think you can
stand the bedlam in here...

you're more than welcome
to stay and have your smoke.

I wouldn't think of intruding.
The vestibule will do just as well.

- Pardon me, all.
- Quite all right.

And I always put a little
cinnamon in my pickled cucumbers.

So that's how you win
the blue ribbon every year?

[ Well, I didn't put
any up this year.

What with the needlepoint I'm
entering, I just didn't have the time.

♪ [ Humming]
- For me?

Oh, the last two drumsticks,
but for a lovely lady.

Jarrod, guess what? Grace isn't
entering her pickled cucumbers this year.

- Oh, now, that's too bad.
- [Audra] No, it isn't. That's good.

Now maybe I'll have
a chance with mine.

- Hey, what is it?
- Oh, just a stitch.

Now what do you
mean, just a stitch?

Well, It's nothing. It's gone.

Give me that food. I'm starving.

Come on, you two. For
heaven's sake, stop frowning.

- Hey, hey, honey. What is it?
- Audra?

It's my stomach.

There was a doctor
just in here. I'll get him.

- What'd you do now, eat some of your pickles?
- She's got more sense than that.

My pickles are fine.

And, as I recall, you
both had some yourselves.

- Oh, I feel sick.
- Hang on, Sis. The doctor will be here in a minute.

- [Jarrod] Excuse me, Charlie.
- Excuse me, please.

- Would you mind? Thank you.
- Oh, oh, yes, Doctor.

- Honey, this is Dr. Travers.
- How do you do, ma'am?

Well, what seems
to be the trouble?

It's my stomach, here.

- Has it been bothering you long?
- Well, it started this morning just before we left the house.

Did you eat something
you shouldn't have?

Nothing the rest of
the family haven't had.

Mm-hmm. Okay.

I'll get my bag-

You might put her on
the sofa over there, hmm?

All right, Doctor. Come on,
honey, let's move over there.

Uh, Doctor, I'm, uh, Nick Barkley.
Could you tell me how she is?

- I won't know until I examine her, Mr. Barkley.
- Oh.

I wonder if you could get everybody
except the family to please clear the car?

Oh, yes. Fine.
Thank you, Doctor.

[g*n c*ck]

We got a nice reception
party waitin' for you up the line.

[Screams]

[ Door Closes]

- Doctor?
- Now you just relax, Miss Barkley.

- [ Gasps]
- Hey.

- Now you just rest easy, huh?
- Everything's gonna be all right, honey.

Jarrod, it's really
beginning to hurt.

We're doing
everything that we can.

And that's more than enough.

Now, open your mouth.

- What's that?
- Laudanum. It'll help deaden the pain.

Painless?

She has a badly
inflamed appendix.

- Are you sure?
- I'm sure.

- Well, what are you gonna do?
- There's no cause for immediate concern.

Do you suppose there's
any ice on this train?

There was some produce loaded in Stockton.
It'd be packed in ice, wouldn't it?

I could use some,
five or 10 pounds.

I'll get it.

Is there anything
else we can do?

Just help me get her as
comfortable as possible.

Well, Heath?

The doctor says it's her
appendix. I've got to get some ice.

Appendix?

[ Labored Breathing]

[ Door Closes]

The ice will keep the swelling
down. You're gonna be fine, just fine.

- Doctor... Any pain?

Not now.

- You see? Now try to get some rest.
- Doctor?

Thank you for being here.

- Is that all there is to it?
- For now.

The ice will control the swelling
until we get to the next stop.

We've got to take her
off, get her to a hospital.

The next stop is River Station.
There isn't any hospital there.

It's just a small mail pick up. There's not
another hospital between here and Sacramento.

Hmm. Four and a half hours.

We could cut that down if we
passed up some of the stops.

Any time you save
would be a help.

Suppose I talk to the conductor.

[ Door Closes]

SQ?

- So.
- Well, how are you feeling?

I don't feel a thing.

Unless it's my wings.

- Wings?
- I think if I tried, and not too hard...

I could fly right now.

Oh. Well, that's the
medicine the doctor gave you.

[Audra ] No, it isn't.

You always said I
was as flighty as a bird.

They're my bird wings.

[Chuckles] You know,
you're probably right.

Anything I can get for you?

- Mm-hmm.
- You just name it.

Would you make sure my pickled
cucumbers get into the judging at the fair?

You can count on it.

Even if my pickled cucumbers
haven't got any cinnamon in them...

they're pretty
good, aren't they?

Well, I-[ Chuckles]
You bet they are.

Nick?

I wonder what Mother will say...

when she meets the
train in Sacramento.

- Well?
- They're gonna pick up as much time as they can.

What about the
stop at River Station?

Well, there's two
passengers getting off and

a mail pickup, but
they’re gonna cut it short.

The conductor figures we'll make
it to Sacramento in three hours.

What about it, Doc? Can
she hang on that long?

I don't know. I certainly wouldn't
like to operate on this train.

- Operate?
- Do you think it will come to that?

Mr. Barkley, it could
very easily come to that.

Doctor?

Hmm? What is it?

Well, I suppose it isn't
any of my business...

but what happened on that
platform just a while ago?

You're right. What happened on
that platform is none of your business.

You see, everybody
transgresses in life, Mr. Barkley.

Some are less
fortunate than others.

It has a way of
catching up with them.

I suppose it isn't necessary to tell
you how grateful we are for your help.

No, it isn't.

But then, words are
only words, aren't they?

- If there's anything that my brothers
and I can do... There's nothing you can do.

These transgressions
you spoke of, I'm a lawyer.

If this was a legal matter, that man you
saw on the platform would be a law officer.

And if he were a law officer...

he wouldn't hesitate to
come in here and get me.

- Then who is he, Doctor?
- Who is he? I don't know his name.

But like some others...

he's a man who
wants to see me dead.

[Whistle Blowing]

Where's Heath going?

Oh, uh, he's gonna send a
telegram to Sacramento...

so that they'll
be waiting for us.

It's all right.

- Where are you going, Doctor?
- I'm running.

I'm running as far
and as fast as I can.

I'm sorry about your sister,
but don't try to stop me.

Doctor, listen to me. I don't know what
this is all about, but you can't leave now.

Mr. Barkley, stay
out of this, huh?

Doctor, whatever it is, my
brothers and I will help you...

- but, please, don't leave now.
- Just the three of you?

I don't think there's
much that you can do.

- [Audra Moaning] -
[ Nick ] Audra, take it easy.

Please, take it easy. Where's
the doctor? Where's the doctor?

- What happened?
- I don't know. She just sat up and started screaming.

She's in pain.

- Please take it easy, Audra.
- Where the devil is that laudanum?

- The doctor will be here in a minute.
- [Whistle Blows]

- [ Whistle Blowing]
- Take it easy now.

- That's just what she doesn't need.
- Well, she's in pain, Doctor.

- Now, Miss Barkley,
listen to me... Oh, Doctor-

please, help me.

Listen to me. No more laudanum.

The only way that we can keep a check
on the progress of the inflammation...

is by the severity and
the repetition of pain.

Now if I sedate you and your
appendix would burst, I wouldn't know it.

- Appendix?
- Well, you must have known that.

You must have sensed it.

Of course you did.

Now you’re gonna be all right.

I got the wire off
to the hospital.

Doctor, I want to
thank you for staying.

[Chuckles] I don't think that running
would have helped in the long run.

I'll stay with the train
until it gets to Sacramento.

Or until they come
and pull me off.

Mel and Ford will bring
him here. Right here.

Ah, it's been a long wait.

Aaron, the boy shouldn't
be at the hangin'.

- Don't start that.
- Do it, for her.

- Cut it out.
- Send him back.

- No.
- Send him back to the ranch, Aaron.

You think he should go
back to the ranch? Come on.

Andy.

Go on, tell him.

No need for you
to be here, Andy.

- What?
- Go on back to the ranch, son.

Not likely.

You never saw him
before in your life.

Just the same, I know
him better than you do.

Aaron, you did real fine.

If you haven't got any stomach for it, Deakes,
why don't, uh, you go back to the ranch?

You know, I ramrodded for your
pa long before you was born...

and cuffed you once or
twice while you growed.

Yeah. Well, after today...

there's nobody gonna cuff me.

[ Hoofbeats Approaching ]

This telegram just
came from Ford.

They failed.

Kellaher is still on the train.

Men, you ride on to the
watering stop and wait.

My boy and I won't fail.

We'll board the train,
and we'll take him off there.

All right, mount up.

[ Whistle Blowing]

- Doctor?
- I'm right here.

- I'm scared, Doctor.
- You're gonna be all right, Miss Barkley. I promise you.

You're gonna be all right.

Somebody’s after him. He doesn't
know who and he won't say why.

- [ Gasps]
- Miss Barkley...

there's nothing I can
do to ease your pain.

Dr. Travers.

What is it, Mr. Barkley? Did you expect
some saccharine story to cheer her up?

Well, the occasion doesn't
call for it. It calls for honesty.

Fine. That's just fine. Then perhaps you
can tell us what sort of trouble you're in.

Don't you think you have
enough trouble of your own?

Yeah. But it seems to be
all wrapped up with yours.

Well?

Well, let’s just say for some...

blood for blood is the
only just punishment.

It will be along any time now.

You sure stood up to Deakes
like the son I raised. [Chuckles]

Yeah. Well, sometimes,
I can't figure Deakes.

I mean, it was my
mother that was k*lled.

I told him you'd feel like that.

You wouldn't want somebody
else to do your job for you. I told him.

Drink, Son? Go ahead.

You're alongside of me
today. You're man enough.

Pity you didn't get to
really know your mother.

Well, you've made
it so I know her.

Just like I know the
man that k*lled her.

It was the-the touch of
her, the way she walked.

The finest woman that
ever set foot on the Earth.

She'll rest easy soon.

Yes, she will, Pa.

[Whistle Blowing]

You know what they say
about frowning, don't you?

No. What do they say?

It gives you wrinkles.

Don't you worry. It
looks nice on you.

Oh, you think so, do you?

Sort of distinguished looking.

You know, I - I think
it's a good idea...

for lawyers to be
distinguished looking, don't you?

Well, I think it's an
even better idea...

for them to win a
case once in a while.

Hang on, honey. Hang on tight.

[Audra Groans]

I’m-I'm really a case, aren't I?

You're a mighty pretty one.

Hey, re-remember
three years ago...

when you took me to San
Francisco to see that play?

I sure do.

After it was over...

I said I wanted
to be an actress.

You know, I think you would
have made a pretty good one.

- Jarred?
- What?

Really, I - I'm
gonna be all right.

- Of course you are.
- Don? worry

[Whistle Blowing]

[ Whistle Blowing]

[Whistle Blowing]

[Whistle Blowing]

I don't mean no
harm to you people.

- Easy, Mr. Barkley.
- Barkley? You Tom Barkley’s son?

- That's right.
- Well, if you don't mind, Mr. Barkley...

this is the man I'm looking for.

- Oh, now wait a minute...
Stand back! None of your concern.

Believe me it's our concern.

Take a look at him, Son.
Take a long, hard look.

[Aaron] That's the one.

That's the one that we've been
waitin' all these years to hang.

You don't even
remember me, do you?

- No.
- [Aaron] You hear that, Andy?

The name is Meyers.
Aaron Meyers.

That was a long time ago.

It was yesterday.

It's been yesterday
for 15 years!

Why are you after Dr. Travers?

- Doctor?
- Travers?

Why didn't you try Kellaher?
That's Lucian Kellaher.

- Is that true?
- Yes, it's true.

Lucian Kellaher.

The outlaw who sacked
Colbyville, burned it to the ground.

The man who destroyed
the work of a dozen lifetimes.

The man who k*lled
my wife and five others.

- He's also the man that was sent to prison for 13 years.
- He should have been hanged.

The law said he should go to
prison for 13 years, and he did.

- He bought the law!
- Look, whatever happened, happened.

The man served his sentence. Right
now, he's very useful. He's a doctor.

- He can't be a doctor.
- You're not fool enough to believe that, are you?

Doctor?

- Doctor!
- [Aaron] Stay away from her, Kellaher!

- She needs help.
- [Aaron] I said stay away from her!

- All right, that's it.
- [Aaron] Is it?

I got men waitin' at the waterin'
stop to take him off the train.

Well, they won't
if we don't stop.

[Whistle Blowing]

[ Whistle Blowing]

Take it easy, Miss Barkley.
Everything's going to be all right.

You can't get away
with this, Kellaher.

- I mean to see you hanged.
- Stand back.

Shh, shh, shh.

[ Travers ] Easy now. Easy.

[Groans]

[Whistle Blowing]

[ Whistle Blowing]

- Well?
- We lost them.

I tell you that is
Lucian Kellaher.

- You can't let him escape!
- [Audra Groans]

- Easy now. Easy.
- [Audra Groans]

- Take it easy, honey.
- Here's some more.

Your father himself would have
been the first to help string him up.

- Our sister needs him.
- He's an animal.

- He's got to be k*lled' -
[Andy] Why don't you just ask?

Why don’t you ask if he's got some
kind of papers to prove he's a doctor?

He's a fake. He is gonna k*ll
that girl same as he did the others.

Stand back. And don't you
move. Don't you dare move.

Shh. Easy. Easy.
Quiet. Shh, shh.

- Mr. Barkley?
- What is it?

I can't wait any longer.
I'm gonna have to operate.

You're not gonna let him
put a knife to your sister?

I spent 13 years in
prison for what I did.

Ten of them working
in the prison hospital.

During that time, Lucian
Kellaher ceased to be.

When I was released...

I continued my practice in
small cow towns and gold camps.

I was the only doctor the
people in those places knew.

I mended their broken bones...

sewed their torn flesh,
delivered their babies...

helped bury the dead.

Now maybe-

maybe I didn't pay for
Colbyville yet, but one thing-

I'm gonna save this girl's life.

What can we do to help?

The first thing you can do is stop this
train. I can't operate while it's moving.

Now you know if we stop,
those men may catch up.

And if we don't, her
appendix may burst.

- All right, Doctor.
- I'll uncouple this car. We'll send the train ahead for help.

- [ Door Closes]
- Now, help me move her in the rear compartment.

- I'll operate in there.
- Right, Doctor.

You two boys get over there.

The minute this car stops,
my men will swarm all over you.

And you won't be alive to see the
first one board. That's a promise.

Now move out.

[ Whistle Blowing]

There's some riders coming.

They're my men!

One word from me
and they open fire.

Well, as soon as they get within calling
distance, you better tell them to stop.

I don't have to
see Kellaher dead.

- Just knowin' that he's going to be is enough.
- [g*n c*ck]

There will be a bloodbath
that none of you will ever forget.

Moyers, you give me 30
minutes, and I'll go with you.

- Now wait a minute, Doc... I haven't
got time to argue. What about it?

- Thirty minutes.
- Tell your men. You stay with me.

Hold up there!

[Aaron ] You men
wait till I call you!

Well now, mister, you better
just pray they do what you say.

Because if they come any
closer, you're a dead man.

Don't you worry.

When Kellaher finishes butchering
your sister, you'll help us hang him.

[ Liquid Pouring]

After we finish, we got to get her
to a hospital as quickly as possible...

before infection sets in.

These aren't the most
sanitary of conditions.

- That train should be back before too long.
- Good.

Okay, wash your
hands in this whiskey.

- Now, hold on to this laudanum. She may need some more.
- All right.

Thread.

[ Horse Nickers]

A simple little tie at the base.

Scalpel.

[Groans]

Needle.

[Audra Groans]

[Sighs] There we are.

All right.

Now just make sure that
she gets plenty of rest, huh?

- She all right?
- Yeah.

In a few weeks, she'll
forget it ever happened.

All right, Kellaher, let's go.

He's not goin' with you.

- He gave me his word.
- We didn't.

- My men... [Jarrod] Meyers!

I'll have every lawman in this
state after them, I promise you.

- Well, I want Kellaher.
- Well, mister, you're not gonna to get him.

Yes, I will!

- Hold it!
- Andy!

[Aaron] Get Kellaher!

Now this is for my mother.

I-I've waited all
my life for this.

You stay back!

[Sobbing]

[ Sobbing Continues ]

He's not what you said.

[Sobbing]

He didn't k*ll my mother.

- He's Kellaher!
- You-

You heard him. You
saw him the same as me.

Lucian Kellaher is dead.

[Chuckles] All
my life I've waited!

And he's dead.

All my life.

[Door Closes]

Andy!

We're finished here.

The train's coming
back for us, honey.

Won't be very long till you're
nice and comfortable in a hospital.

Was I terrible, screaming
and carrying on?

[Nick] Screaming
and carrying on?

Doctor, in all your travels, you ever treated
a patient better than our sister here?

Your sister gets first prize.

Oh, speaking of prizes, would you remember to
enter those pickled cucumbers into the fair?

You may not win our sh**ting match, but
you just might place with those cucumbers.

Wait a minute now. Those
cucumbers aren't mine. They're-

[Whistle Blowing]

[Blowing]
