00:01:12Figure we'll be in Laramie in an hour.
00:01:14Thanks for the sandwich, ma'am.
00:01:17I have another if you'd like.
00:01:19No, thank you.
00:01:20This will hold until we reach Laramie.
00:01:22♪
00:01:25See any guys?
00:01:27Two of them.
00:01:29One riding ahead and one riding shotgun.
00:01:31Means the gold ship.
00:01:33♪
00:01:37I was just thinking about how different it is when you're not in the Army.
00:01:41You know, you're the first girl I've been this close to in over eight months.
00:01:46Eight months in the wild and I'd pick you for a traveling companion?
00:01:50No cause for concern, Miss Blaine.
00:01:52I'm here to protect you.
00:01:54Cole, when you boarded this coach, I told you he was through.
00:01:58And I meant it.
00:02:01We'll have your joke.
00:02:03I heard you were going to Laramie.
00:02:05Well, I decided to come along and protect you, Nora.
00:02:09Thanks.
00:02:10But the Sergeant here is already looking for the job.
00:02:14Just like the lady said, I'm here to protect her.
00:02:18♪
00:02:23Matt!
00:02:25Here they come.
00:02:28Horny, you take your men and cut them off.
00:02:32♪
00:02:48Hold up.
00:02:50♪
00:02:56Hi-ya!
00:02:58Hyah!
00:03:01Hyah!
00:03:03Hyah!
00:03:09Ho!
00:03:11Ho!
00:03:15Nora, I'll try to keep them busy.
00:03:18Slip out that door.
00:03:20I'll try to keep him busy, slip out that door and hide.
00:03:29Hurry.
00:03:30Shut up, that lunatic would have killed us all.
00:03:34Have you heard what that Nighthawk gang will do to anybody who shows spite?
00:03:44Get that cash box off that coach and unhitch the horse.
00:03:57How are you?
00:04:01He's been hit.
00:04:02Keep him laid.
00:04:03You mister, keep him high.
00:04:06All right, money and jewelry and no tricks.
00:04:08Come on.
00:04:13Come on.
00:04:18Not a broach, let a gal be crazy about it.
00:04:21All right, mister.
00:04:23Well, this time be like you'd have a roll on him.
00:04:25No roll, mister.
00:04:26I'm a gambler.
00:04:27Had a streak of bad luck in Medicine Bow.
00:04:29They cleaned me out.
00:04:30Uh-huh.
00:04:31Search him.
00:04:32Except for what's hidden in fancy boots.
00:04:38All right, pull that soldier boy out of there.
00:04:40Don't mind about him.
00:04:42Leave him alone.
00:04:43Why not?
00:04:44He may have six months play on it.
00:04:46I've got my reasons.
00:04:48I said leave him alone.
00:04:51All right, let's strip.
00:05:01I had over $2,000 in that wallet, you dirty little...
00:05:13Are you hurt?
00:05:14I'm all right.
00:05:15I'm mad.
00:05:16I'm more mad than I am hurt.
00:05:19The broach that they took was the only thing
00:05:21left that I had given to me by my mother.
00:05:24I'll buy you another broach for the first scare I see.
00:05:27Well, how'd you get so good beating up women?
00:05:30You practice on little kids and puppy dogs?
00:05:32She had it coming.
00:05:33She told that gang of bandits where I hid my wallet.
00:05:36Because he hit you behind the ear with his gun.
00:05:40So that's where it came from.
00:05:46Help me collect these bodies.
00:05:50We'll start hiking till Laramie comes on.
00:05:54Meanwhile, I'll forget about you slugging me from behind.
00:05:58And you forget about her.
00:06:00$2,000 ain't easy to forget.
00:06:05Our gambling friend thinks it's a good 20 miles to Laramie.
00:06:09Hope my shoes hold up.
00:06:11If they don't, I'll be pleased to carry you.
00:06:14I'll make it.
00:06:16I'll bet you will, too.
00:06:18The way you cut loose on that tin horn.
00:06:21Well, when you work in a saloon, you either
00:06:23have to learn how to fight or else you...
00:06:25You bruised your knuckles.
00:06:28But you won't chop down anybody else for those tonight.
00:06:31Still pack a pretty good left.
00:06:35Pretty as a picture, fighting a fool.
00:06:42What's the matter?
00:06:44Wayne, you're lonely and you're woman hungry.
00:06:47You're bound to want the first girl you come across
00:06:49when you're halfway through.
00:06:51Meaning I'd better fold if you want my hand?
00:06:56I'd be lying if I said yes.
00:06:58Well, he's coming.
00:07:06Find the rest of the posse.
00:07:07Tell them the search is over.
00:07:09Glad you men happened along.
00:07:11A long hike into Laramie.
00:07:13We didn't happen along, ma'am.
00:07:15The stage is hours overdue.
00:07:16We go out and look for it.
00:07:18Now, how many did this?
00:07:20Well, there was seven of them, Sheriff.
00:07:22Well, knowing you, Cole, you was hugging the floorboards.
00:07:25Let the soldier tell it.
00:07:27Well, Sheriff, they were waiting for us up in the hills.
00:07:30They got the driver and the other two guards
00:07:32with the first volley.
00:07:33Sudden and complete?
00:07:34Never had a chance.
00:07:35You think you'd recognize them again if you saw them?
00:07:38They had bandanas over their faces.
00:07:40Which way did they head?
00:07:42East.
00:07:43Pick up that trail when it gets light.
00:07:45You two, load the bodies atop the stage.
00:07:48Then hitch your mounts to it and drive these folks on into Laramie.
00:08:04Joe Emery.
00:08:05Wayne Bagley.
00:08:07You old son of a gun.
00:08:09I haven't seen you since we went through the suit campaign together.
00:08:12What are you doing here?
00:08:13Oh, just come to visit my brother, Brad.
00:08:16Well, I was just on my way to Jackson Hole on that stage there.
00:08:20Oh, that's too bad.
00:08:21I was just thinking it'd be swell to have you for a neighbor.
00:08:24It could easily be arranged, Wayne.
00:08:26I have a trading post up in the Grand Tetons northwest of here.
00:08:29Crime-free.
00:08:30You know, I outfit and go to stake a trapper and return for half his catch.
00:08:33By spring, you can make yourself a couple of thousand dollars.
00:08:36Why don't you come with me?
00:08:37I sure appreciate the offer, Joe, but I'm all set.
00:08:40I'm going ranching with my brother, Brad.
00:08:42He's running 2,000 head of cattle near here.
00:08:44Got me in as a partner.
00:08:46Name's Brad, you say?
00:08:47Yeah.
00:08:48Know him?
00:08:49No.
00:08:50Heard of him, that's all.
00:08:51Well, partnership and 2,000 head of cattle.
00:08:54He's a soldier at any time.
00:08:55Well, there you go.
00:08:57Mr. O'Blaine, meet my friend, Joe Emery.
00:08:59Hi, Miss Glynn.
00:09:00You sure didn't waste any time.
00:09:03Don't take him too seriously, Joe.
00:09:04This is his night to howl.
00:09:06Come on, Cattle Baron, let's tie into those big, juicy T-bones.
00:09:09All right.
00:09:10Joe, good luck on your trip, pal.
00:09:12Thank you, sir.
00:09:16Did you find out where your brother's ranch is?
00:09:19No, but he left a letter for me.
00:09:21Oh, I see.
00:09:23Did you find out where your brother's ranch is?
00:09:25No, but he left a letter for me to wait here.
00:09:28He said he sends them to town for supplies every week.
00:09:31But his man will find them.
00:09:32That's great.
00:09:33You're all set, then.
00:09:35Both of us.
00:09:40I brought you a present.
00:09:51Lovely.
00:09:53He didn't have any brooches like yours.
00:09:56It's beautiful.
00:10:00You think that'll help me grow on you?
00:10:04Do you know when to expect your brother's man?
00:10:07No, I don't.
00:10:08Actually, all I know about this deal was in Brad's one letter.
00:10:12He found me at Fort Sheridan right after the Custer Massacre last year.
00:10:16You read that?
00:10:18With Captain Benteen.
00:10:20Custer sent us in first, nonetheless.
00:10:23Benteen got some of us out alive.
00:10:25Brad saw the list of survivors.
00:10:27Oh, and then he wrote you the letter about the big spread of 2,000 heads.
00:10:32Well, it was supposed to be that big by this time.
00:10:35Yeah, the things that split us up and sent me into the Army
00:10:39were all buried in the past.
00:10:41He wrote that he was burning calves with an honest PW brand,
00:10:45Brad Wayne Ranch, Northwest America.
00:10:47Oh, that's wonderful.
00:10:50Yeah, except for one thing.
00:10:52I've been asking around town and nobody's ever heard of the brand.
00:10:56Didn't make that story.
00:10:59I don't see how a man can raise 2,000 head of cattle here
00:11:02and not have anyone in the town know the brand.
00:11:05Strange.
00:11:07Still, got to see for myself.
00:11:21Are you Wayne Santly?
00:11:23Yeah, that's right.
00:11:25Brad Santly.
00:11:27I'm Pawnee.
00:11:29You can start as soon as you're ready.
00:11:31I'll join you outside.
00:11:34Wayne, I'm glad you're back.
00:11:36Why don't you worry?
00:11:38One way or the other, I'll be back.
00:11:40There you go.
00:11:42Honey, Brad's my brother.
00:11:43He wants to see me.
00:11:45Okay.
00:11:46I'll be watching for you.
00:11:53How am I doing?
00:11:55Very sweet.
00:11:56Very tender.
00:12:00You know, my barracks room buddies should hear that I'm sweet enough.
00:12:05So...
00:12:30How far to the ranch?
00:12:32Get there soon.
00:12:36Want some?
00:12:37Never touch it.
00:12:50Shee-haw!
00:12:53Shee-haw!
00:13:00She says the guard won't go shooting at shadows.
00:13:03I lost half our horse there to sneak thieves.
00:13:06That happened last spring.
00:13:15You pick up my jaw in the back of the store?
00:13:17I got everything, Hannah.
00:13:19This here is Brad's brother Wayne.
00:13:21Howdy.
00:13:22Howdy.
00:13:30Howdy.
00:13:32That Wayne Santler you brung?
00:13:34There ain't no one else.
00:13:35Hey, Brad.
00:13:36Wayne's here.
00:13:37Come on in, Wayne.
00:13:39Let me have a look at you.
00:13:46Oh, Wayne.
00:13:48Brad, you old son of a gun.
00:13:50Yeah, it's been a long time.
00:13:52It sure has.
00:13:53Six years, two hitches in the gallow.
00:13:56Doesn't harm you much?
00:13:59Hey, can you still swap a belly punch, huh?
00:14:03Yeah, I remember now.
00:14:05Come on, try me.
00:14:09Ready?
00:14:13Come on.
00:14:16No, no, I get to see you, man.
00:14:18Remember, that was a rule.
00:14:20Yeah, so it was.
00:14:22Hey, you know, this son of a gun used to save up all his punches
00:14:25and sock them and hit me all at once.
00:14:28Come on, Wayne.
00:14:30Let's wash up for dinner, huh?
00:14:33Hey, uh, Wayne.
00:14:35Wash up.
00:14:41Six long years, huh?
00:14:45You were never off my mind, fella.
00:14:49You were never off my mind, fella.
00:14:52Can't tell you how I felt when we heard that the Seventh had been wiped out.
00:14:57They drunk a week in Cheyenne.
00:15:01Then the papers printed a list of survivors, and there you were.
00:15:06Boy, you stayed drunk for two weeks.
00:15:09Same kid, huh?
00:15:11No, kid.
00:15:13That's when I sat down and wrote you that letter.
00:15:15Offering you a partnership with the biggest cattle operation in the territory.
00:15:27Lay off the crap.
00:15:33What do you mean?
00:15:38This camp, this little ranch headquarters, is a hideout.
00:15:43And that letter you wrote me, all a pack of lies.
00:15:47And that's your change of ways.
00:15:49If you had any cattle at the time, they were rustled.
00:15:52You were still riding herd on other people's rams, and you probably are now.
00:16:02There was one honest thing in that letter, kid.
00:16:06One of my brother's back.
00:16:14What happened?
00:16:16Why?
00:16:17You knew I wouldn't play it your way.
00:16:20It was over a year ago.
00:16:22Sure, Wayne, I could have cut all ties and gone along with you, but now...
00:16:29I know so.
00:16:32You know, I've almost got it made, my way.
00:16:35Oh, come on. We'll iron it out after dinner, huh?
00:16:38Never could talk much in an empty gut.
00:16:43Come on.
00:16:52Brad, look at Kahila.
00:16:54You got all primped up for your brother.
00:16:57If this keeps up, I'll have to send her back to the lodge.
00:17:00Unless, of course, you have a mind to trade for her.
00:17:03Trade what?
00:17:05That dancehall queen you were making such a time with down at Laramie.
00:17:09Real fancy looking, Brad. Name of Nora Blaine.
00:17:12Look, keep her name out of this.
00:17:15And watch that half-breed tongue of yours.
00:17:25Pretty?
00:17:28Yeah, real pretty.
00:17:30Where'd you get it?
00:17:32Pony.
00:17:33I told you not to worry.
00:17:38Dammit!
00:17:41All right, Wayne. Get Pony's gun.
00:17:48Got a head, ain't you, Brad?
00:17:50You know my role about fighting in the outfield.
00:17:52Tell it to your brother.
00:17:54It was my intentions.
00:17:56All right, Wayne.
00:17:58Why'd you hit Pony?
00:18:01Kahila, come here.
00:18:03Let me have that brooch.
00:18:11This belongs to Nora Blaine.
00:18:14The Nighthawks took it from her.
00:18:16I know it. The stagecoach.
00:18:20You heard me, didn't you, Brad?
00:18:23I heard you.
00:18:27That's what you meant by almost having it made your way.
00:18:32You took that gold shipment, but you killed four honest men when you did it.
00:18:37Wayne, this is wild country.
00:18:39We tore it from the engines.
00:18:41Now it's a case of dog-eat-dog to see who gets off with the loot first.
00:18:45First we'll get the money, and then we'll get the ranch, and then the cattle.
00:18:48No, not me.
00:18:50I'll be heading for Jackson Hole on that offer Joe Emery made me.
00:18:54Going where?
00:18:55Trapping.
00:18:57Pony, what do you take for Kahila?
00:19:01You knew Winchester.
00:19:04Even Trey.
00:19:07All right.
00:19:09Kahila, you're from the Grand Teton country, aren't you?
00:19:13Pack some grub and saddle up two horses.
00:19:16You're guiding my brother to Jackson Hole.
00:19:19What happens to you after you get there is up to him.
00:19:21He can either keep you or turn you loose.
00:19:23First off, he makes the way into town to see his gal.
00:19:26He'll have some explaining to do.
00:19:28If you ain't forgetting, there's a $5,000 reward for information about us.
00:19:32He might figure to collect it.
00:19:35What about it, Wayne?
00:19:37Nobody will get anything out of me.
00:19:41You're still my brother.
00:19:44Go get ready.
00:19:48All right, boys.
00:19:51Let's make yourself nice and comfortable, huh?
00:19:54I don't want my brother getting shot along the trail.
00:19:59Brad.
00:20:02Come with me.
00:20:04You'll never get out of that gold.
00:20:06It can be like the old days.
00:20:08Both of us together.
00:20:11I'll be along as soon as I make a real strike.
00:20:15Good luck, kid.
00:20:19Good luck, Brad.
00:20:28You forgot something, didn't you, Brad?
00:20:31Don't let that look out, Hanna.
00:20:33Cahila knows the password.
00:20:35Then I'll gun him down.
00:20:37You told him to let nobody through.
00:20:53Will!
00:21:01One forty-four shot.
00:21:03No one just...
00:21:05Looks like your brother knew the password.
00:21:08That'll be a lesson to you.
00:21:10Screech lightning on the draw.
00:21:12All right, boys, relax.
00:21:14We better get that gold headed for Tedwood.
00:21:29Oh, a gal in tombstones waiting
00:21:32For a drifter they call Mike
00:21:35Cause he said that they would marry
00:21:38As soon as he could make a strike
00:21:41But he never found the nugget
00:21:43So he drifted on some more
00:21:45Till he met a gal in Deadwood
00:21:48Whose old pappy owned the store
00:21:51Now a gal in Deadwood's waiting
00:21:54For the drifter they call Mike
00:21:57Cause he said that they would marry
00:22:00As soon as he could make a strike
00:22:02But this lover he kept on drifting
00:22:05From old Wisco to St. Lou
00:22:08And the gals he found to love him
00:22:11Added up to quite a few
00:22:14Wait for me here.
00:22:15I may be a little while.
00:22:16You think quite true?
00:22:17No.
00:22:20Thirty gals will still be waiting
00:22:23When good Gabriel blows his horn
00:22:26For a sheriff's shot they have discerned
00:22:29Leaving all those gals to mourn
00:22:32Oh, if there's a town like Tombstone
00:22:38Just beyond the pearly gate
00:22:42You can bet the drifters found him
00:22:49Some more pretty gals to wait
00:23:01Thank you, Will.
00:23:03So you found him.
00:23:06Yeah, I found him.
00:23:08Just like I figured only worse.
00:23:14Here.
00:23:15My badge.
00:23:17Don't ask any questions.
00:23:22Bet I don't have to.
00:23:25I'm sorry for you, Wayne.
00:23:35What are you going to do now?
00:23:38I'm heading for Jackson Hole.
00:23:45Nora, I'm asking you to come along with me.
00:23:55Joe figured I'd make two or three thousand
00:23:57While I'm trapping this one.
00:23:59Hey, they'd go wild over a gal singer like you.
00:24:04How about it, Nora?
00:24:07There's one thing you'd have to do first.
00:24:10What?
00:24:15The Nighthawks have killed a lot of people.
00:24:18They're going to keep on killing them.
00:24:21You've got to tell the sheriff where you find them.
00:24:26What you're asking?
00:24:30When a man's hands are stained with blood,
00:24:34He forfeits all kinship rights.
00:24:40Nora, I'd side with her, cut off my arm,
00:24:42And turn my brother in.
00:24:47Come on, Nora.
00:24:50I'll take real good care of you.
00:24:52We'll have a fine life together.
00:25:00I'm not going with you.
00:25:07Well, I can't say I'll blame you.
00:25:10When you look at it close...
00:25:16Brad, I want home.
00:25:18I want children.
00:25:20I want to put down a roof somewhere.
00:25:25But as long as you cherish this blind devotion to Brad,
00:25:29I'd live in fear that he'd come and tear out the roof.
00:25:33So I put two and two together and came to get you as quick as I could.
00:25:37That's not what we are, Finley.
00:25:40All right, start talking.
00:25:42What's this all about, Sheriff?
00:25:44That brooch.
00:25:46How'd you get it back?
00:25:48And while you're at it, we'd be plum interested to know where you've been
00:25:51since you left town with the half-breed.
00:25:54If that's all you want to know, Sheriff, I think I can oblige you.
00:26:10Let's go!
00:26:12Let's go!
00:26:21Get the horse.
00:26:23Let's hope they know our blame.
00:26:33Wayne only mustered out of the 7th Cavalry a week ago.
00:26:37He had no idea Brother Brad was leader of the Nighthawks.
00:26:40You expect us to swallow that?
00:26:42I don't need your help, Cole.
00:26:44Wayne wasn't with him. Why did you run?
00:26:46Why didn't he come to me when he found out?
00:26:48Tell me where the Nighthawks were holed up?
00:26:50It isn't easy to inform on your own brother.
00:26:54Maybe you better explain that to the widows and children of the men who he buried.
00:27:00All right, you can go.
00:27:06You just gonna let her go?
00:27:08Well, I figure Wayne will try to get her out of town if he can.
00:27:12With all that reward money on your mind, Cole,
00:27:15you're not gonna let that happen.
00:27:24Wayne, he hurts. He needs you. Come.
00:27:28Wait for me over there. I'll get out of this outfit.
00:27:38Wait.
00:27:48Wait.
00:27:59Oh.
00:28:03Wait.
00:28:08Come here.
00:28:38Ah! Ah!
00:29:05I'm looking for Brad Sadley.
00:29:08That's me.
00:29:10Who shot him?
00:29:11The sheriff. The bullet's still on his shoulder.
00:29:14Throw him into the cabin.
00:29:15Handle him gently.
00:29:18You're Nora Blaine, aren't you?
00:29:20Yes.
00:29:21What happened?
00:29:22A gambler by the name of Cole Fender was with the sheriff.
00:29:26He must have been listening close when Wayne gave me back my brooch.
00:29:29He saw it taken during the holdup.
00:29:32Cole Fender.
00:29:34Yeah, I know.
00:29:39Saunders, get the whiskey.
00:29:44He'll be all right.
00:29:47Hurry up with that whiskey.
00:29:57Yes, sir.
00:30:02Pack all your cannon, too.
00:30:08Oh.
00:30:14Marnie.
00:30:16Get that bullet out.
00:30:22Well, he don't be tempted to cut too much.
00:30:27Sterilize the knife with whiskey.
00:30:30Do as she says, Marnie.
00:30:39How'd you know so blasted much about it?
00:30:43I spent years a nurse in the hospital at Fort Lincoln.
00:30:52Hold his legs.
00:30:56Well, quit stalling. Get it out.
00:30:59I'm not stalling.
00:31:01I'm not stalling.
00:31:03I'm not stalling.
00:31:05I'm not stalling.
00:31:06I'm not stalling.
00:31:17I can't find it.
00:31:20I'm sure I warned you.
00:31:21Quit it, both of you.
00:31:25It's not deep. Give me the knife.
00:31:28Do as she says.
00:31:29Yes, sir.
00:31:35Hold him down.
00:31:51Everything for the loving brother.
00:31:53The rest of us can do a scratch.
00:31:57What's the matter?
00:31:59Do you want me to cut all your bridges?
00:32:03Don't push me, Brad.
00:32:06All right, Marnie.
00:32:09Either you abide by my orders...
00:32:15or you can make your play right here and now.
00:32:18It's your choice.
00:32:29All right.
00:32:50Hi, kid.
00:32:51Hi, Brad.
00:32:53Feeling better?
00:32:54Much better.
00:32:55Brad.
00:32:57The sheriff knows that Coe Healy helped him to escape.
00:32:59He'll have a posse turning these hills inside out.
00:33:02Yeah.
00:33:05We may have some trouble tonight.
00:33:07Maybe Wayne and I can go to Jackson Hole tomorrow.
00:33:14We'll wait.
00:33:17See how he feels.
00:33:19He'll never let us get out of here.
00:33:22Not with what we know about him.
00:33:25Nora, he knows we wouldn't talk.
00:33:28He'd never be sure.
00:33:31I mean, if he were, the rest of the men would never let him take a chance like that.
00:33:40Tokyo.
00:33:42We'll get out tonight.
00:33:44We were...
00:33:45Sure you're strong enough?
00:33:48I'll be all right.
00:33:50When we get to the next town, I'll rest up.
00:33:55Get Coe Healy in here.
00:33:58I'll ask her to get our horses saddled and packed.
00:34:02I'll let you know where we are.
00:34:04All right.
00:34:05I'll ask her to get our horses saddled and packed.
00:34:27Horses saddled, packed, behind cabin in the draw.
00:34:30What about the guard at the rocks?
00:34:31I'll take care of him.
00:34:34He's getting on it.
00:34:35I'll be with you in a few minutes.
00:34:36Where are you going?
00:34:37Get some blankets.
00:34:38We're going to meet him.
00:34:39All right.
00:35:04Wayne?
00:35:07All packed up and ready.
00:35:08Well, what do you know?
00:35:15Pony!
00:35:23Get up the draw.
00:35:24I'll follow.
00:35:33Come on.
00:36:00Those shots came from the draw, Brad.
00:36:02Boy, he's in trouble.
00:36:03Get up there.
00:36:09It's Cole.
00:36:10He's brought the sheriff's posse.
00:36:16Brad, they'll kill him.
00:36:17Wayne!
00:36:19There's nothing you can do now.
00:36:20Brad has brought this on himself.
00:36:33Brad!
00:36:56It's all wiped out.
00:37:00I'm sorry, Wayne.
00:37:02Well, we got the gold ingots from the stage hold up and some from their other jobs.
00:37:13How are you coming?
00:37:14All done.
00:37:15No sign of the Santley brothers or Nora Blaine either.
00:37:19Brad was hit right there.
00:37:20Gunned him down myself.
00:37:21He can't have got far.
00:37:22We've combed the woods.
00:37:23He's either holed up or cleared out or dead.
00:37:26If he's still around, he'll need grub, bandages, blankets.
00:37:32He'll probably try to sneak back to the cabin.
00:37:36Vance, you and Hank hold up here for a couple of days.
00:37:40Stay out of sight and keep a sharp lookout.
00:37:43The rest of us will head back to Laramie and take the squaw with us.
00:38:32It was you who brought the posse.
00:38:34Your brother.
00:38:35He sent me to get the Sheriff.
00:38:36You're lying.
00:38:39He sent me to get the Sheriff.
00:38:43He betrayed you for the $5,000.
00:38:45I am not.
00:38:47You're lying!
00:38:49There was trouble too, Brad.
00:38:52But the $5,000 wasn't.
00:38:55My brother would never double-cross me.
00:39:00You know, Vance, that critter's still alive.
00:39:30I'll bet he's a far piece from here by now.
00:40:00You know, I'm afraid I'll have to get out of here.
00:40:28It's me, Pawnee. Did you get him?
00:40:31Yeah. Come on in.
00:40:35Shut the door.
00:40:40Did you see anything of Wayne and Nora?
00:40:42No. They must be well on their way to Jackson Road.
00:40:45Any idea how that posse found us?
00:40:47Yeah. A gambler named Coal Thunder.
00:40:51He said Wayne sent him after the sheriff.
00:40:55I squared the account with that rattlesnake.
00:40:59Maybe he was telling it straight.
00:41:02What are you driving at?
00:41:04Playing, ain't it?
00:41:06That reward money to help Wayne get set up with Nora Blaine.
00:41:09Pawnee, I kill one man for saying that.
00:41:12Two won't make much difference.
00:41:15The night before the posse got here, I heard a noise outside, so I went to look.
00:41:19I saw Nora. She had two horses saddled and a pack horse loaded.
00:41:23Then Wayne comes sneaking up and gunned me down.
00:41:26I figured it was clear enough because they knew that posse was coming.
00:41:29You're lying.
00:41:31Talk!
00:41:33He was toking blankets when I saw him.
00:41:36Maybe the blankets are still in that bedroom.
00:41:39Maybe they ain't.
00:41:43Let's see.
00:41:50No blankets.
00:41:52He turned on me.
00:41:54Turned on me!
00:41:56Like a dirty, mangy coyote.
00:42:01That was a soldier in six years duty bond.
00:42:07They're going to give my shoulder a chance to heal.
00:42:11And we're heading for Jackson Hole.
00:42:25Here they are, Wayne.
00:42:28A grand piton.
00:42:35Put it down.
00:42:46Wayne, get me there.
00:42:49Then maybe there'll be no more doubts.
00:42:54There can't be anything evil out there.
00:42:58I hate to spoil your pretty picture,
00:43:00but some of the toughest outlaws in the West have made Jackson Hole their hideout for years.
00:43:05Then I'll bet they're no longer tough.
00:43:09What a gal.
00:43:11You know, you'll have me trying to shake hands with the first grizzly bear we meet.
00:43:25I'll get it.
00:43:51There can't be too much ahead of us.
00:43:53I'd sure hate to have you on my tail, Brad Sandley.
00:43:56My name's Brad Kane.
00:44:11All right, Molly, just throw a hip-hop on that and roll it over here.
00:44:24Joe!
00:44:28Wayne! Nora!
00:44:34Well, welcome to you both.
00:44:38Sure is good to see you.
00:44:39Good to see you, Joe.
00:44:40Sure is good to see you.
00:44:42Oh, this is Moose McGlane.
00:44:44That's his new wife, Molly.
00:44:46Howdy.
00:44:47Quite a gal.
00:44:48Howdy.
00:44:49This is Jonathan Cooney.
00:44:50Howdy.
00:44:51This is Jonathan Cooney.
00:44:52He runs the sawmill down below.
00:44:54That is when he isn't busy saving our souls.
00:44:59Nora Blaine and Wayne Saddley.
00:45:01He campaigned with me against Chief Joseph.
00:45:03He was with the Seven.
00:45:05Welcome, folks.
00:45:06Any friend of Joe is naturally part of the family.
00:45:08Especially if he's cavalry.
00:45:10Looky here.
00:45:11The Sioux did it.
00:45:12Capping up on the Rosebud.
00:45:14I was riding scout for the second.
00:45:16Say, I hope you folks are planning on staying on.
00:45:20Well, that's sort of up to Joe.
00:45:22Is that trapping offer still go?
00:45:24Well, you're darn tootin' it does.
00:45:26In fact, I just got back yesterday from laying out my own trap line.
00:45:29Look, we can work it together.
00:45:31In fact, I'm kind of glad you brought along a partner.
00:45:35Well, I think I'd better explain about Nora.
00:45:38Oh, no explanation necessary.
00:45:40She's more than welcome.
00:45:42Well, come on.
00:45:43I'll show you around inside.
00:45:44Mr. Saddley, Moose and me will help you bring in your gear.
00:45:47Thank you, ma'am.
00:45:53Well, here's where the trappers pick up their food and supplies.
00:45:56Back here, it's where we store our furs.
00:46:02Empty now.
00:46:04Except for these few grizzly bear hides.
00:46:06But in a few months, it'll be filled with prime pelts.
00:46:09Mink, martin, fox, otter, raccoon and lobo.
00:46:12A regular gold mine, huh?
00:46:14Sold last winter's catch in Cheyenne for close to $27,000.
00:46:18$27,000?
00:46:19That's right.
00:46:20The rest of the trappers here with me made themselves over $2,000.
00:46:24I expect this season's catch to be better.
00:46:31You know, I'd just like to do that well.
00:46:36You didn't cotton the cattle raising, huh?
00:46:40Joe, you knew I wouldn't, didn't you?
00:46:43Well, that's all behind you now.
00:46:45Leave it there.
00:46:47Never did believe in taking shadows in a new territory.
00:46:51Besides, you got a whole heap to be thankful for.
00:46:54A whole heap.
00:46:56Ma'am, come on.
00:46:57I'll show you the living quarters.
00:47:02Oh.
00:47:04Do you like it?
00:47:06Never seen anything finer.
00:47:08Oh, you are.
00:47:09All right, bring that stuff in here.
00:47:10Oh, no, we wouldn't.
00:47:11Oh, now, look.
00:47:12I've always believed that a bride is
00:47:14entitled to some measure of privacy.
00:47:16Them's my sisters.
00:47:17You kinfolk?
00:47:19No, no relation.
00:47:20Yet you were traveling together.
00:47:22Jonathan, we've no right to pry into their business.
00:47:25When the Lord looked down upon Sodom and Gomorrah,
00:47:27he made it his business to wipe out
00:47:29the sin and corruption he saw.
00:47:32Speak with considerable authority about them.
00:47:34Are you by chance a preacher?
00:47:36I am a duly ordained minister, young woman.
00:47:38Then is it not as much your duty to prevent sin
00:47:40as it is to cast it out?
00:47:42Such is the will of the Lord.
00:47:45Then if you will, we would like you to marry us.
00:47:49Nora!
00:47:50Honey!
00:47:51Well, what are we standing around gawking for?
00:47:53We got a wedding to arrange.
00:47:55Honey, I'll cut down my wedding dress for you,
00:47:57and it'll fit you just perfect.
00:48:02Place the ring on her finger.
00:48:09I now pronounce you man and wife.
00:48:13You can kiss your bride.
00:48:19Congratulations.
00:48:20This is a chance I don't want to miss.
00:48:22Oh, me neither.
00:48:23Me neither.
00:48:24Oh, no, you don't.
00:48:30The house is behind us now, Wayne.
00:48:33I'm sure of the future.
00:48:36Very sure.
00:48:39The minute I saw you in Medicine Ball,
00:48:42I was sure.
00:49:03Howdy, old timer.
00:49:04Which way's the settlement?
00:49:06There's two of them.
00:49:07Joe Emery's up that-a-way,
00:49:09and Jackson's down yonder.
00:49:12What's the difference?
00:49:13If you got the law on your tail,
00:49:15it's Jackson's.
00:49:17If you're clean,
00:49:18Joe Emery's trapping camp's your dish.
00:49:22Thanks.
00:49:33Hi, Wayne.
00:49:34Hi, Molly.
00:49:35Hey.
00:49:36Hi, Tiffany.
00:49:37How's it out there in the trap line?
00:49:39Safe enough for my moose man all alone?
00:49:41Oh, Molly, there's a big grizzly robbing all the traps,
00:49:44but he's due to hold up any day now.
00:49:47Well, that settles it.
00:49:48Honey baby, I'm going with you.
00:49:50Oh, Molly.
00:49:52Women don't trap and kill fur animals.
00:49:55Well, you do your trapping.
00:49:56I'll just sit and watch for the grizzly.
00:49:58If he tries to bother my little honey baby,
00:50:00I'll break his darn back.
00:50:02You know, that Molly's quite a gal.
00:50:05Makes him a good wife.
00:50:07Yeah.
00:50:08You know, I'm sure glad I'm a married man.
00:50:10It's just rough territory for a bachelor.
00:50:18He looks real happy, doesn't he?
00:50:20What'd you expect?
00:50:21He'd be in mourning for you?
00:50:23He's got a lot more than I expected.
00:50:26Let's travel.
00:50:27You mean you ain't gonna take me?
00:50:29Let's travel.
00:50:30You mean you ain't gonna gun that sidewinder down,
00:50:32here and now?
00:50:35I can kill Wayne just as dead in the spring
00:50:37as I can right now.
00:50:39Crawfish?
00:50:41That's what you're up to.
00:50:42You're still trying to protect him.
00:50:44You're going soft.
00:50:46Not so soft as I ever aim to let you get the draw on me again.
00:50:51Look, Barney, it's a long trip here and back.
00:50:58I don't make that kind of trip without pay.
00:51:04We're gonna let all of Wayne's nice, decent, hardworking friends
00:51:08do a little fur trapping for us these next few months.
00:51:12In the meantime, we'll winter down in Jackson,
00:51:14pick up a few men.
00:51:16Yeah.
00:51:17I take it back, Brad.
00:51:19I gotta hand it to you.
00:51:21Let's go.
00:51:28What about his girl?
00:51:30Give me no more argument.
00:51:31She goes with the loop.
00:51:42Hey, that's quite a haul you made, Wayne.
00:51:45Otter, beaver, wolf, mink, three silver fox and two marlin.
00:51:49You did good.
00:51:50Real good.
00:51:51Well, we'll see about that.
00:51:54Oh, wait.
00:51:55Looks like you and Nora are gonna have to watch the store for a few days.
00:51:59Jake and I are going out and see if we can bring back
00:52:01some more of the Lord's favor.
00:52:04Yeah.
00:52:11Bring back a good cash.
00:52:13Well, enough anyway to line that crib.
00:52:16I'll be back in a minute.
00:52:18I'll be back in a minute.
00:52:20I'll be back in a minute.
00:52:22Way to line that crib.
00:52:27Crib?
00:52:28What do you mean?
00:52:29Joe's a more observing man than my husband.
00:52:34You mean?
00:52:36Oh, honey.
00:52:39What are you doing out here in that cold?
00:52:41Get inside.
00:52:52Come on.
00:53:11Hi, Adam.
00:53:12Hi, Wayne.
00:53:17Settlement's about a half a mile below.
00:53:19I'll take Pawnee with me and look the place over.
00:53:21You boys stay here.
00:53:23Brad.
00:53:25Something on your mind, Roark?
00:53:27Just this.
00:53:28Me and the boys took this job on your say-so.
00:53:31And Furze better be there, like you told us.
00:53:34You'll be paid well.
00:53:36I hate to see a man die with his pockets empty.
00:53:50Come on.
00:54:05What's the matter, Wayne?
00:54:08You'd think I was a ghost.
00:54:10Yeah, I'm the one you shot down, not Brad.
00:54:13Couldn't be that you knew that the sheriff and his posse
00:54:15were paying us a visit that night.
00:54:18Well, who's eating you, Brad?
00:54:19Let's have it.
00:54:20Who's been to fetch that posse?
00:54:23I got my gun on him.
00:54:26He said that it was you who sent him to the sheriff.
00:54:28He lied.
00:54:29You're wrong, Brad.
00:54:30Get out of this, Brad.
00:54:32Nor is my wife.
00:54:34So I'm all wrong about Wayne, huh?
00:54:37All right, you explain it.
00:54:39What are you listening to him for?
00:54:41You expect to get the truth out of him?
00:54:42Go on, cut him down.
00:54:43He still ain't said how you know he didn't rat on me.
00:54:46I wanted Wayne to tell the sheriff, and he refused.
00:54:53I wish I could believe that, Wayne.
00:54:57You can.
00:55:00You'll do your own thinking for a minute.
00:55:04Brad, I guess it's been a long time since either one of us
00:55:06has been inside a church.
00:55:09There's something we learned there as kids.
00:55:12You ought to remember it right now.
00:55:17Bible words don't fit my lips these days, Wayne.
00:55:21I'm not ashamed to remember.
00:55:25And the Lord said, where is thy brother?
00:55:29And Cain replied, am I my brother's keeper?
00:55:36Yeah.
00:55:40You know, you should have been a preacher, Wayne.
00:55:45All right.
00:55:48You say what you told me is true, and I'll believe you.
00:55:53Well, I don't!
00:55:54Matt!
00:55:55Keep your hand away from that gun.
00:55:58I'd shoot you both down now, but I don't want to rouse the camp.
00:56:01You don't want to commit suicide, Pawnee?
00:56:04You might get one of us.
00:56:05But you'd be a dead man before you could pull that trigger twice.
00:56:07Reach!
00:56:08Reach out!
00:56:10You hear that, son?
00:56:11Come on!
00:56:12Throw it over here.
00:56:13Don't try it.
00:56:16You were right, Brad.
00:56:18The pawn catcher furs already.
00:56:20Plenty for me and the boys.
00:56:22But you still have to take them out of the storeroom, Pawnee.
00:56:26I came for the furs, Brad.
00:56:28I'm coming back for them.
00:56:30It's only you and Wayne here right now.
00:56:33Leave it that way.
00:56:36I'm coming back with five men.
00:56:38We'll cut down anyone who stands between us and them furs.
00:56:42Now, if you're thinking of trying to get away, don't.
00:56:46You've got to be watched.
00:56:49Try and stop us.
00:56:51Take more in the furs.
00:56:55Take her.
00:57:06He said five other men.
00:57:09He was telling the truth, Wayne.
00:57:11Outlaw guns from Jackson Hole.
00:57:14You were going to kill me and clean out the storeroom.
00:57:18I'm sorry, Wayne.
00:57:20The two years I spent in prison has kept me from thinking
00:57:23about what I'm going to do when I get out of here.
00:57:26I'm sorry.
00:57:27I'm sorry.
00:57:28I'm sorry.
00:57:29I'm sorry.
00:57:30I'm sorry.
00:57:31I'm sorry.
00:57:32The two years I spent in prison has kept me from thinking
00:57:35straight ever since.
00:57:38Well, you're thinking straight now, Brad.
00:57:40We're together.
00:57:41If we get out of this, it'll be like old times.
00:57:47Yeah, that sure listens good, Wayne.
00:57:50But you're forgetting.
00:57:52I've got a lot of things to answer.
00:57:55You know, when that trail east is open up,
00:57:58I bet I can name you a dozen men slipping out of Jackson
00:58:01Camp to find the nearest sheriff.
00:58:03Yeah, for that blood money.
00:58:07Yeah, this is payable in gold, Wayne.
00:58:10You know, they say blood washes off gold.
00:58:15But I know better.
00:58:18Honey, why don't you lie down?
00:58:20You need your rest.
00:58:21I keep doing things to keep my mind off this waiting.
00:58:25Well, here's luck to you, Wayne.
00:58:28Luck to you, Brad.
00:58:31Both going to need it.
00:58:34What about Jonathan and the other men in the camp?
00:58:37I'm not asking anybody else to fight or battle.
00:58:42She never saw the Sandley boys in action.
00:58:44On the same side.
00:58:46I'll keep a lookout.
00:58:54Well, it'll take plenty of spell to get the boys together.
00:58:57I'll get a place to eat.
00:59:13Wayne, are you sure of him?
00:59:18Nora, look back.
00:59:20Brad never crossed us.
00:59:22In fact, he helped us go free.
00:59:45That'll do it.
00:59:46I wore it my laces.
00:59:48Good as stone.
00:59:50Yeah, if they arrived straight in,
00:59:53we'd be sitting ducks for a man at either end of this porch.
00:59:57No sign of him yet.
00:59:59What's keeping Pawnee?
01:00:01You think maybe he quit?
01:00:03Not Pawnee.
01:00:05He's been busting for a chance for years to gun me down.
01:00:09He'll figure his five guns can do it.
01:00:19You two will help Rorke set fire to the mill.
01:00:22The rest of you will come with me.
01:00:24Any questions?
01:00:26Let's get it over with.
01:00:33If we can drop some of them on the first ride in,
01:00:35we'd stand a chance.
01:00:39Nora, I told you to stay inside.
01:00:41I fixed something you've got to eat sometime.
01:00:45All right.
01:00:46Brad, you go first.
01:00:51Nora.
01:00:56Wayne just told me about the baby.
01:00:58I'm mighty happy.
01:01:11Nora, I...
01:01:13I ain't much at apologizing, but...
01:01:17I want you to know I could cut my tongue out
01:01:19for all the things I've ever said to you.
01:01:22Tell me that when the sun rises.
01:01:25My husband's still alive.
01:01:29I'm sorry I brought this on.
01:01:32Really.
01:01:39I'll send Wayne.
01:01:57Nora, wait here.
01:02:02Come on, Pawnee.
01:02:03Let's all meet up.
01:02:04Hurry.
01:02:13Do you think Pawnee fired the mill?
01:02:15Think of a better way to draw the men away from the settlement?
01:02:18Yeah, it was Pawnee all right.
01:02:20Who else?
01:02:23Where's Brad?
01:02:28Brad.
01:02:31Brad.
01:02:33Brad.
01:02:38Get back inside.
01:02:40Can't they seven gunmen alone?
01:02:44Brad?
01:02:47Seven.
01:02:48So you do think Brad's back with them?
01:02:50He isn't here, is he?
01:02:55You can ride straight into the porch.
01:02:57What about your brother?
01:02:59I got the both of them bailed up with the furs.
01:03:01We'll pack them along.
01:03:03Hard way.
01:03:04Fast change of mind, Brad?
01:03:07No change at all.
01:03:09But how can I tell you with them listening?
01:03:12Looks okay, but have your guns out.
01:03:16He's trying to talk them into an ambush.
01:03:37Brad.
01:03:39We got one of them.
01:03:41I thought I'd cut the odds down a little.
01:03:43Sure gave me a scare.
01:03:44Why didn't you answer me?
01:03:45They were within earshot.
01:03:48So you thought I crossed you, huh?
01:03:51Yeah, I did.
01:03:53It's a bad feeling, ain't it?
01:03:56I had it for five months.
01:04:00Brad, what got us this way?
01:04:02Used to be us two against the world.
01:04:06It's the same way again, kid.
01:04:08Us two against five.
01:04:10Three against five.
01:04:14She's a sadly, all right.
01:04:18Honey, why don't you eat something?
01:04:24You've got to eat sometime.
01:04:44Wayne, get inside.
01:05:13I've had enough.
01:05:32I'm clear now.
01:05:33Stay here!
01:05:34Get back!
01:05:53Wayne!
01:06:12I tried to roll the years back, Wayne.
01:06:24I did my best.
01:06:26Just like it was in the old days, Brad.
01:06:29Just like it was.
01:06:42I love you.
01:06:55How long can this go on?
01:06:57The good Lord's arranged a pretty exact schedule.
01:07:04Don't you want to see your new daughter?
01:07:07It's a girl?
01:07:08Yeah!
01:07:09Yeah!
01:07:28Brad, she would have gotten the boot out of this.
01:07:32You'd have had a present for her.
01:07:36He already gave her the most important present she'll ever get, Wayne.
01:07:41The future.
01:07:47One dies, one is born.
01:07:51I guess we're all our brothers, too.
01:07:54I don't remember.
