Rawhide? ?Rollin', rollin', rollin'? ?Rollin', rollin', rollin'? Hyah! Hyah! Rawhide!? Hyah! Those cows have a right to bellow.
On a drive like this, they often have to go for days without grass or water.
The men driving them have a right to gripe.
Often, they have to go without food, water and sleep.
I have a right to worry about both men and beasts.
That's part of my job.
I'm Gil Favor, trail boss.
Good graze.
Nice-looking country after what we've been through.
We'll hold here for a couple of days, let those beeves fill their bellies.
They'll need it when they get back on the trail.
Sounds like artillery.
Sounds like dynamite.
Sounds like we lose a herd.
Head those steers off.
Turn the beeves! Turn them! We're going to lose them.
We're going to lose them for sure.
I'd have never brought you this way, Mr.
Favor, if I had known we was going to hit anything like this.
Not your fault, Pete.
Come on Rowdy, let's find out what this is about.
What kind of a town is that? Wouldn't exactly call it a town.
Women.
Not much doubt about that.
Working like beavers.
Hey, you know, the men must know something in this town the rest of us ought to find out.
Yeah, but what men? That's right- there are none.
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
There's one right over there.
Well, good to see someone wearing pants looks like they belong in them.
Tell us about this place, mister.
You always go around putting your foot in your mouth, boy? Right about now, it might be a real smart idea to try saying you're sorry.
Well, well, I-I Believe me, ma'am, I am sorry.
We got 3,000 head of cattle a couple miles back.
These explosions have them pretty well stirred up.
I'd like to find out where they are, and talk to somebody about getting them stopped for a little while.
No use talking to me about it.
You've got to go to the camp for that.
The camp- where's that? Liz, don't tell them.
They're here to take Charlie back to Huntsville.
Oh, honey, they said they was drovers.
I don't believe them.
They came for Charlie.
He's too sick to work, so they'll take him to Huntsville to die.
We haven't got anything to do with Huntsville, Miss.
Well, find the camp yourself.
Sorry if we upset the lady.
Just a minute.
Don't figure to stay here very long.
Men ain't allowed overnight.
Ma'am.
Hey, that's a real nice paint job.
What do you want? My name's Favor.
How do you do, Mr.
Favor.
I'm Anne Macauley.
Pleased to meet you.
I wonder if you could tell us where this place is they call the camp? You want to go there? It seems we have to go there.
You must be from Huntsville.
No, ma'am.
We're just drovers.
We're driving a herd up north to Sedalia.
You ladies certainly must like this camp the way you keep it hid from everyone.
"Like it.
" We'd still like to know where it is.
Well, just keep going in that direction.
You'll find it.
Thank you, ma'am.
They keep talking about Huntsville.
That's a fairly big town with a real big prison in it.
I don't get the tie-up, do you? Let's find that camp.
Take cover.
Everybody take cover.
Get clear, get clear.
Must be contract prison labor.
Somebody must have hired them from the state.
They're all chained together like animals.
Those women back there.
Their wives, their girls.
Living in a place like that, keeping other men out.
We've got to stop that somehow.
All clear.
Everybody back to work.
Move.
You got business here? Want to see the man in charge.
The warden don't like to be bothered unless it's something important.
It's important.
Something about the prisoners? Something about All right, you can see him, but you'll have to leave your guns and your horses here.
You'll find his shack down at the end of the path.
It better be important.
The warden ain't an easy man.
All right.
I'm not going to ask you again, either one of you.
Where is it? What can we say when we don't know anything about it? That's what you've been telling me ever since I came here, Macauley.
He won't be telling you much longer, warden.
Neither of us will.
If you're forgetting, we walk out of here free next month.
We ain't.
You're not leaving here until you give up that money.
You can't keep us here after we serve our time.
Can't I? What about the dynamite that's been stolen from the quarry in the past three months? I tell the prison board you did it, and you get five years added.
You ain't got no proof.
You can't even find it.
We'll find the dynamite, and maybe it will have your initials carved on each stick.
I'm not letting you leave here until that money's returned to the state.
Look, I told you 100 times, I lost it.
I dropped it in the river when I was trying to get away.
So you did.
I'm the judge who tried the case, remember? I'm the one who sent you to prison.
I know you, Macauley.
You were lying then, and you're lying now.
Can we go? We don't want to waste no more of your time.
Unless you come to your senses, you're going to have plenty of time to waste.
Take them away.
I still say we're inside our rights.
I say you're not.
Now, what's this? My name's Favor.
I got a herd of cattle here in the valley.
I want to talk to you about that blasting.
Take those men and lock them up.
Don't waste your breath asking any favors, mister.
Now, what's this about cattle? I'm running a herd through here- 3,000 head.
Your blasting is making it kind of hard to keep them from stampeding.
I'm afraid I can't help that.
If you could just hold off for a little while until we get them through I run this camp on a contract basis.
I'm behind schedule now.
All we need is a day.
Well, move them at night.
Moving them at night through this kind of terrain, we could lose half the herd.
Time is money with me- the state's money.
You'll have to work it out yourself.
Hey, uh, could we use some of that water over there? Help yourself.
Always nice to find someone so willing to help you, huh? Tod, who are who are they? Shut up, Cooper.
Who do you care who they are? Oh, let him say what he wants.
I thought maybe they could take a message for me to Jenny and tell her I'm all right, huh? That's important, very important.
That's important to all of us.
They're drovers, Cooper.
Maybe they could take a message, though.
What message? What kind of message is there for you to send? Maybe that-that the pain in here hasn't been so bad lately.
I think she'd like to know that.
I got a message for 'em.
Hey, mister.
Can I talk to you a minute? Go ahead.
Come on over here, will you? Listen, I heard you say you were trail drovers.
You go through that settlement comin' up here? That's right.
Well, there's a little woman there named Anne Macauley, real fine-lookin' woman.
Yeah, she was painting a shack.
We talked to her.
That's my wife.
She is? That's right.
At least I think she is.
Been kind of a long time, you know.
Well, uh, I'd like to get a message to her, and it's real important, see? We'll be going back through that way.
I'm supposed to be getting out of here next month, but, uh, it's going to be sooner now on account of good behavior, you know, and, um, so if you could tell her to get packed up and get ready to leave, 'cause it might be tomorrow, and she should be ready to leave tonight.
That's it? Yeah, that's it.
You'd be doing me a big favor, mister.
Sure, I'll tell her.
Thank you.
What was that all about? Did you give him my message, Tod? Yeah, I gave him a message.
It wasn't mine, though, was it? Hey, you know, Jenny- she worries a lot.
Let's go see Viner.
You got enough dynamite? Sure, sure, I have.
Let's make it tonight.
Whoa, now.
TonightNot a chance.
Make it tonight.
We'll go with you.
No, not me, Tod.
I couldn't make it.
I'm not well enough.
I'm talkin' about me and Kellino.
CrazyYou've only got about another month in here.
Clement'll see us dead before he turns us loose.
Why? What's the difference? You've got enough dynamite, haven't you? Why not tonight? Ah, you told me yourself.
I'd be insane to try to get away from here without horses.
Jenny wouldn't want me to try it, Tod.
Will you shut up? I know where to get horses.
You mean those three nags they got down at the settlement? No, I'm talking about horses- all you need.
Where? Did you see the two men outside? Yeah, I saw 'em.
Well, they got a herd of cattle in the valley.
That means horses, don't it? Lots of horses.
This is kind of fast.
Sure, it's fast.
You see a chance, you take it, don't you? They're not going to hang around waiting for you to make up your mind.
And what'll I do for money? You know what? No, I don't know.
You tell me.
I got money.
I got lots of money.
Me and Kellino, we got all the money we ever took then, right? That's right, but it's ours and we're keeping it.
What good's it going to do us if we never pick it up? You crazyWe need everybody in here to make a break.
They need money once they get out.
What are you going to do, hold out on 'em? Keep on talkin'.
It's nowhere near the town.
Once we get out, there's only going to be two of us to divvy it out me and Kellino but what you get'll be enough to get you lost till you're below the border.
That's all I'm guaranteein'.
That right? Yeah, that's right.
Go along with that? Well, I heard what you said, and if it ain't true, a lot of us in here'll be dead if we can't count on what you promised.
You can count on it.
Can't he? Yeah.
What about guns, Viner? Well, there's guns in town.
Those drovers aren't going to give up those horses easy.
All right, they fight.
What comes easy? Tod You're free and easy with our money, ain't you? Well, Viner and his bunch took a chance gettin' the dynamite.
They don't have to take us in, you know.
What's the use riskin' our necks to break out if we've got to give the money away? Who says we got to give it away? All we got to do is get out.
Hello, Liz.
You're lookin' kind of happy today.
I just wish all of you could be as lucky as I am.
Gettin' your own man back all to yourself? Must be pretty wonderful.
Just one more month.
We'll miss you, Anne.
Whatcha gonna do with this place? I thought I'd give it to Jenny Cooper.
That's why I'm trying to pretty it up a little.
Jenny.
She's scared out of her wits that they're going to take her husband back to Huntsville.
She's got a right to be scared.
They don't want sick men around the camp, and he has lung fever.
They can't, they just can't.
Oh, they will.
Where do you plan on going? Fort Worth.
Fort Worth Mr.
Viner took me there a couple of times.
I saw the prettiest hat in that town I ever laid my eyes on.
Real perky straw all covered in violets.
He hated it.
What do you want to give the place to Jenny for? I'll trade you something for it.
She needs it, living in that leaky tent.
Let her build her own shack like the rest of us.
Now, look, Sarah, Anne wants to give the place to Jenny.
How do you know what she wants? Why don't you stay out of it, Viner? Look, I like the place, Macauley- I'll swap you something good for it.
What, some of that rot gut liquor you boil up? I'm sorry, Sarah, I promised.
What's a promise? Why give it to that sniveling little crybaby? Because she belongs here, that's why which is more than you can claim.
You've got no man up here.
Why do you stay here? Answer me that.
Why do you stay here? I'm warnin' you, Viner.
You try somethin' with me and see what it gets you.
I stay here because I think it's the most beautiful spot in the world and because you're all such wonderful people to be around.
I stay here because I like it.
Does that answer your question? I'll talk to you about the place later.
I wouldn't trust that witch in any kind of a deal.
Don't worry, Liz.
I'm going to give the shack to Jenny.
I have a message for you, Mrs.
Macauley, from your husband.
From Tod? He says he expects to be let out sooner than he thought.
Wants you to be ready to leave right away, maybe even tomorrow.
But that? Well, he can't get out any sooner.
That's impossible.
That's what he told me to tell you.
Are you sure it was my husband? He said you were his wife.
Ann Macauley? Curly-headed man, well-built, easy way of talkin'? That's right.
Well, thank you, Mr.
Favor.
You're welcome.
Something's wrong, huh? Hmm? Well, they look unhappy to me.
They are.
You get the same feelin' I have there's going to be a break tonight? I got the feelin' we better get our herd movin', even over this rough terrain.
No matter what, huh? Afraid we've run out of choices.
Anne? Yes, Liz.
They couldn't be going to try somethin', could they? I mean, my Jack and the rest, and your Tod thrown in with 'em? Not Tod.
No tellin' what's going on up there.
I've been afraid of somethin' like this for a long time.
Liz, Tod only has a month to go.
But we don't know what's happened.
Sometimes, men are forced to make a break.
A breakWhat breakWhen? We don't know, Jenny.
What do you mean, you don't know? You must know something, or you wouldn't talk about it.
We don't know anything.
We don't know anything for sure.
A break.
Oh, that'll be fine.
My Charlie'll try it with the rest of 'em and get shot dead for it.
Jenny, stop worrying.
It's not going to happen.
What'll we do if it does? We stick by 'em like we always have.
Mr.
Favor, thought you weren't going to make it in time for supper.
What'd you find out there, Rowdy? You'd never guess in a thousand years.
Can you make it fast with that meal, Wishbone? Fast? We've got to move the herd out of here tonight.
In this kind of country? Got to.
That blasting's comin' from a prison camp up ahead.
Only time they stop is after dark.
Joe, you and Quince ride out and tell the rest of the men.
We'll eat fast.
We want to be well on our way before the first blast hits at sunup.
How 'bout some chow? Who is it? It's me, Jenny.
Oh, come in, Jenny.
I tried to go to sleep, but I'm scared.
I thought I'd come over for a few minutes.
I'm glad you did, Jenny.
You're so calm.
You're always so calm.
I'm not really calm, Jenny.
I've never been brave.
Never in my whole life.
Have you ever tried this? The Bible? I haven't looked at it since I was a little child.
We could sit down and read it together for a little while.
All right.
How's it go, Pete? It's ragged, boss.
Maybe we'll be far enough away by sunup.
Tod! Don't do it, Tod.
Tod! Tod, don't do it! Tod! Liz, Liz Viner.
What do you want? Did you hear that explosion? You think we're deaf? Do you think the men are trying to break out? I don't know.
Maybe they did it.
Maybe they got away.
How could they get away from a place like that? I'm praying nobody got killed.
You think they'll come here, Liz? I don't know.
Maybe they'll stay in the hills.
Yes, that's what they'll do.
They'll stay in the hills.
Oh, Jack! Come on, you know they're coming after us.
We need them guns fast.
Where's Sarah? I've been waiting.
But don't expect anything extra.
We made a bargain.
I came here because there was money for me if I did my job.
I've done it.
We'll need more than this.
Inside.
Come on, you fellas, inside and get them guns.
We'll be waiting for Clement and the guards when they come down the trail.
Come on, now, hurry it up.
Give me the dynamite, Tod.
You take care of Clement.
I got something else to do.
It better be about getting us them horses.
You better take care of Clement, or we ain't going to need any horses.
Anne, one of the men told me Charlie didn't try to escape.
He stayed behind.
Good, Jenny; there were two who didn't try.
There were t Tod.
Oh Tod.
You ready to go? But, but, Tod Come on inside.
Oh, Tod.
Oh oh, Tod.
What have you done? Never mind that.
Just let me look at you.
You know it's been two years since they let me see you? I thought I remembered how you looked and how you felt.
WhyWhy did you break out? I didn't remember half of it.
You only had a month to go.
I couldn't wait any longer.
Just a month and you couldn't wait? What's the difference? I'm out of there now.
But they'll get you back.
No, they won't; not me.
We're going to start living again.
I'm going back to work.
Are you ready, Tod? Yeah, I'll be right with you.
We're going for the horses.
But Tod We need them.
We got to have them to get out of there.
Where's my tools? You got them? Under the bed.
Now, what good's a carpenter when the law's after him? Don't you worry about that.
I got it figured this time.
You had it figured last time.
We'll talk about it later.
Well, we got the cattle quiet, but Pete's afraid to start moving them till morning.
Then we'll stay here till morning.
The warden said they didn't blast at night.
Maybe the convicts had other ideas.
We're heading back.
Take the cart.
Why, you miserable I'm sorry it got away, Mr.
Wishbone.
That noise startled me.
Charlie, Quince, get over with the horses.
Here, you can have mine.
Hurry up and get them leg irons out of the cart.
If that's a fight, I wish they'd use guns.
Convicts have to use what they can.
I don't get it.
The first two explosions were more than an hour ago.
Still think they're going to try to make a break? We'll soon know.
If they get loose, they'll come looking for horses.
They don't think they're going to get them? You plaster anything that moves.
No.
I'll handle this another way.
You wait here.
Somebody's coming in.
We'll wait.
I'd like to talk to you.
We talked enough this afternoon.
A little different now, though.
What do you want? Horses.
We need them bad.
You won't get them here.
How about we make a deal with you? You give us the horses, and then we can leave them someplace where you can find them.
We need every horse we've got, mister, and then some.
I was hoping you'd be reasonable about this.
You either give us those horses, or we're just going to have to take them.
Well, you were just thinking of trying that, weren't you? It will be different next time 'cause we got dynamite.
If you had dynamite, you'd have let us know by now.
We got it, all right.
It's back in the settlement.
It'll just take a little time to get it out here, so you better give us those horses, or we're going to blow your herd all over the valley.
No horses.
If that's the way you want it.
Pete, get up along that ridge.
See if there's room to move the herd that way.
You're going to bypass this mess? That's right.
We'll be breaking camp while you're looking the ground over.
What about that dynamite? Suppose they come out and use it on the herd while we're moving them? That's just why I'm going into town- to keep them from doing that.
Rowdy, Quince, Scarlet, Rick, Kyle mount up.
Don't you think you'd be better off if you took more men? You'll need all the rest of the men to handle the cattle.
If everything goes right, we'll catch up with you.
Now, get back up there and start scouting that ground.
Did you get the horses, Macauley? I'll have them.
Kellino back yet? I haven't seen him.
Some of the boys in the shack having a little cheer.
I broke out a barrel of hard cider.
Well, that's nice they can let a few of us do all the worrying for them.
How would they like it if Clement and his guards showed up all of a sudden? Didn't you hear the explosions? They figured Kellino already took care of it.
They better do more than figure.
Hey, Macauley! Look what we brought back.
And they had them irons all ready for us.
Well, I'd say we got something working for us now.
You got nothing but trouble working for you, Macauley.
You should have seen it.
Two blasts, and they come to their senses real quick.
Take him to the forge.
Chain him up.
Hey, Viner, where can we get something to eat? Well, there's Sarah's place, and I'll have my woman cook up something.
You don't have to worry about Clement catching up with me.
What do you mean? What about them horses, Tod? I thought you'd have them here by now.
The drovers are playing rough.
You hear me? What? Why don't you listen? I am listening.
You're not saying nothing.
I said the drovers are playing it rough.
The drovers are smart.
Did it ever occur to you the drovers might be smart? Did you tell them? Tell them what? About the dynamite.
Did you tell them? Yeah, I told them.
What did they say? Thanks a lot, lamebrain.
What's the matter with you? Opening your mouth in front of Anne.
She's your wife, ain't she? That don't mean she's got to know everything we're doing.
How about the horses, big man? Well, we got to use the dynamite, so we might as well get going.
I got to eat first.
I haven't had any food since morning.
We got to leave by daylight.
We'll be gone long before that.
Maybe taking time is good.
Maybe them drovers will think it over, they might see things our way.
Not that trail boss.
What's the trail boss mean to us? Horses.
Why didn't you take care of that trail boss? Where were you with the dynamite?! Using it, you understand? Where'd you be if I hadn't used it? That's enough out of you.
What do you mean that's enough? And while we're at it, where's the money? Same place it's always been.
Are you sure, Tod? Yeah.
Do you think your wife will give me food? Sarah will give you food.
I want to be alone with her for awhile.
After you shot your mouth off, I got to talk to her.
You can talk it out when it's all over.
I'll be back in ten minutes, and you better be ready.
I'll be ready.
Have my share ready.
What's the matter, all of a sudden you don't trust me? I don't trust anybody any longer than I have to.
I want my share on me when we go for the horses.
You'll have it.
What's in that sack, Tod, in the rain barrel? Annie, I'm hungry.
I only got a couple of minutes to eat.
It's dynamite, isn't it? We needed it to make our break.
You broke out.
What do you need it for now? So you can use it on the drovers? You don't have to make it your worry.
They've done nothing to you, Tod.
I got nothin' against them.
You're going to hurt them.
Nobody's going to get hurt unless they give us trouble.
Why should they give you their horses? They need them.
Tod Why did you do it? Why did you break out? You want to stay in this hole the rest of your life? In a month, you and I were going to walk out of here free.
You going to feed me, or do I ask Sarah? I'll feed you.
That first shack.
The forge, yeah? Yeah, so we can cover the road from out of town.
Leave the horses here.
Just one yell, mister, just one.
Get these irons off us.
It'd take too much time, make too much noise.
Now don't start anything unless they do.
Don't let anybody get past here.
I'm gonna go with you.
You stay right here.
There's too few of us as is.
Mr.
Favor, Macauley's the main one.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, but there's something you don't know.
What's happened to us, Tod? Annie, will you let it be, please? Look, I waited these years for you.
Stuck it out for you.
Will you listen to me? They weren't going to let me out of there next month.
They weren't going to let me out of there at all.
Why? Because of Clement.
I wouldn't bend to him.
He Why don't you tell her the real reason, Macauley.
Why don't you tell her why you really broke out? Don't try for it.
What is it? Tell her about the money.
Money? You better get out of here.
What does he mean? What money? What what you mean? It's for him to tell you, Mrs.
Macauley.
What money is he talking about? You haven't had any money since That's right.
Don't listen to him.
He's talking wild.
What's he know about me anyway? What do you know about me? What are you doing in here? Warden Clement told me.
Tod.
Will you leave this to me? Will you trust me? The only money you ever had in your life was and you told me you put that back when they took you.
You gave me your word.
All right I didn't tell you.
I didn't want to worry you any more than I had to.
I thought it was all over and it isn't, is it? Well, I didn't hurt anybody by keeping that money.
You didn't see Wells Fargo going out of business, did ya? It's not your money, Tod! I earned it with five years of hard labor.
I know what you went through.
Maybe you think I didn't go through it with you, but I did.
Every hour, every day you spent out there, I spent the same hours and the same days here.
But I don't want any part of this.
I don't want to make this any part of me or of us.
Well, I do.
You remember how it was in Fort Worth? Do you remember when I couldn't get work? Yes, but there's worse things.
What? What's worse than starving to death? What kind of a world do you think this is anyway? You think reading this book is gonna feed you and keep you warm? Well, that's fine right where it belongs in church on Sunday morning after you had a good breakfast.
It's not our money, Tod.
No, it's mine and Kellino's.
We paid for it with five years off our lives.
Well, I gave up just as many years but not anymore.
Not anymore.
What are you doing? Take me with you.
I want to be with you when they use that dynamite against you.
Well, go ahead and pack, Annie.
You have to pack if we're gonna leave anyway.
I brought you some vitals, Frank.
The others Hold it! I only meant to shoot at her feet.
They hear a shot or they hear her blab, it doesn't make any difference.
Trail drovers at the forge.
How many? Three, four.
I didn't stop to count.
They're not going to give us any trouble- not three or four.
Probably came to bargain about the horses.
Get the men together.
Do it easy.
Any trouble starts, blast those cowriders out of there.
I'll go get Tod.
Hold it.
Take it easy.
Let's get these men unchained, huh? I came to tell you some of those drovers are over by the forge.
I see one of them got to you.
You the trail boss? Tod says you play it tough.
Just trying to do my job.
But you gave it some thought and you came to your senses.
You don't want your cattle blasted into a stampeded, do you? The last thing a drover wants is a stampede.
First you played it tough, now you play it smart.
How many horses you gonna give us? Like I told your partner, no horses.
Then we'll blast your herd.
That's just why we came into town.
We don't want our herd blasted, mister.
Five of you against 30 of us.
One stick of that dynamite and we'll blast that forge into pieces as big as that.
All you've done so far is break out of jail.
You'll get extra time for that.
But you start killing, they're gonna hang you.
You're wrong, mister.
We killed four men when we captured Clement.
Now, it's not an original thought, but they can only hang us once, no matter how many men we kill.
Where is it, Tod? Come on, Tod, I swear I'll tear this place to pieces.
I've got a right to know.
Now where is it?! Under the bed.
The tools.
That's right.
Best tools in the world.
The only tools in the world.
No.
All right, I'll tell you what I'll do.
We'll make a sale.
I'll buy your horses.
I got the feeling you just might not live up to the terms of the sale.
Besides, we need every horse we've got.
No sale.
Mr.
Favor the dynamite in the rain barrel right outside the house.
I wouldn't try that.
Why did you stop him? If you hadn't of stopped him, I'd've been dead by now.
It'd be a burning inside of me, but it wouldn't be shame.
In a minute, the burn would be gone and everything would be all right again 'cause everything would be over.
Why did you stop him? Annie.
Annie, what have I done to you? Nobody should want to die.
Nobody should be made to want to die.
I didn't mean that.
Annie, I didn't even know.
The shot came from Tod's place.
Hold it.
Hold it.
Mr.
Favor's orders were no one leaves town.
We don't shoot unless they try to cross to Macauley's shack down there.
Get back inside, girls.
He's dead.
Tod.
You better not go out there.
Viner? What was the shooting about? Kellino's dead.
Who killed him? I did.
Are you crazy? Or maybe you're smarter than the rest of us.
Maybe, maybe not.
I can tell you one thing, though.
There ain't any money out here.
There never was any money waiting out here.
I lied to you because I couldn't break out of that place alone.
What are you getting at? What are you trying to say? There's no money out here.
This time I'm telling you the truth.
You selling us out? You make a deal with those cow herders? All I'm saying is, I lied to you about the money, but maybe you could make it anyway.
What about you, liar? I'm going back.
I got my own reasons.
It's got nothing to do with you.
You walk out on us, Macauley, and I'll cut you down.
I ain't walking out on anybody but me, Viner.
Cut those cow herders down! Tod! Tod? Hold it! Hold your fire! Can't you see what he's carrying? Put out that fuse before you blow us all up.
Hold it.
Anybody moves, I throw this.
Step on the fuse, trail boss.
Step on it.
You've got about ten seconds.
Throw down your guns.
If that goes, you go with it.
Throw down your guns! Cover me.
You all right? Oh, I'm fine.
Just fine.
Oh.
Tod.
Give the money back.
I will.
I will, Tod.
Head 'em up! Move 'em out! ?Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'? Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'? Though the streams are swollen? Keep them dogies rollin'? Rawhide? Through rain and wind and weather? Hell-bent for leather? Wishin' my gal was by my side? All the things I'm missin'? Good vittles, love and kissin'? Are waiting at the end of my ride? Move 'em on, head 'em up, head 'em up, move 'em on? Move 'em on, head 'em up, rawhide? Cut 'em out, ride 'em in, ride 'em in, let 'em out? Cut 'em out, ride 'em in? Rawhide? ?Rollin', rollin', rollin'? ?Rollin', rollin', rollin'? Hyah! Hyah! Rawhide? Hyah! ?Rollin', rollin', rollin'? Hyah! ?Rollin', rollin', rollin'?
On a drive like this, they often have to go for days without grass or water.
The men driving them have a right to gripe.
Often, they have to go without food, water and sleep.
I have a right to worry about both men and beasts.
That's part of my job.
I'm Gil Favor, trail boss.
Good graze.
Nice-looking country after what we've been through.
We'll hold here for a couple of days, let those beeves fill their bellies.
They'll need it when they get back on the trail.
Sounds like artillery.
Sounds like dynamite.
Sounds like we lose a herd.
Head those steers off.
Turn the beeves! Turn them! We're going to lose them.
We're going to lose them for sure.
I'd have never brought you this way, Mr.
Favor, if I had known we was going to hit anything like this.
Not your fault, Pete.
Come on Rowdy, let's find out what this is about.
What kind of a town is that? Wouldn't exactly call it a town.
Women.
Not much doubt about that.
Working like beavers.
Hey, you know, the men must know something in this town the rest of us ought to find out.
Yeah, but what men? That's right- there are none.
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
There's one right over there.
Well, good to see someone wearing pants looks like they belong in them.
Tell us about this place, mister.
You always go around putting your foot in your mouth, boy? Right about now, it might be a real smart idea to try saying you're sorry.
Well, well, I-I Believe me, ma'am, I am sorry.
We got 3,000 head of cattle a couple miles back.
These explosions have them pretty well stirred up.
I'd like to find out where they are, and talk to somebody about getting them stopped for a little while.
No use talking to me about it.
You've got to go to the camp for that.
The camp- where's that? Liz, don't tell them.
They're here to take Charlie back to Huntsville.
Oh, honey, they said they was drovers.
I don't believe them.
They came for Charlie.
He's too sick to work, so they'll take him to Huntsville to die.
We haven't got anything to do with Huntsville, Miss.
Well, find the camp yourself.
Sorry if we upset the lady.
Just a minute.
Don't figure to stay here very long.
Men ain't allowed overnight.
Ma'am.
Hey, that's a real nice paint job.
What do you want? My name's Favor.
How do you do, Mr.
Favor.
I'm Anne Macauley.
Pleased to meet you.
I wonder if you could tell us where this place is they call the camp? You want to go there? It seems we have to go there.
You must be from Huntsville.
No, ma'am.
We're just drovers.
We're driving a herd up north to Sedalia.
You ladies certainly must like this camp the way you keep it hid from everyone.
"Like it.
" We'd still like to know where it is.
Well, just keep going in that direction.
You'll find it.
Thank you, ma'am.
They keep talking about Huntsville.
That's a fairly big town with a real big prison in it.
I don't get the tie-up, do you? Let's find that camp.
Take cover.
Everybody take cover.
Get clear, get clear.
Must be contract prison labor.
Somebody must have hired them from the state.
They're all chained together like animals.
Those women back there.
Their wives, their girls.
Living in a place like that, keeping other men out.
We've got to stop that somehow.
All clear.
Everybody back to work.
Move.
You got business here? Want to see the man in charge.
The warden don't like to be bothered unless it's something important.
It's important.
Something about the prisoners? Something about All right, you can see him, but you'll have to leave your guns and your horses here.
You'll find his shack down at the end of the path.
It better be important.
The warden ain't an easy man.
All right.
I'm not going to ask you again, either one of you.
Where is it? What can we say when we don't know anything about it? That's what you've been telling me ever since I came here, Macauley.
He won't be telling you much longer, warden.
Neither of us will.
If you're forgetting, we walk out of here free next month.
We ain't.
You're not leaving here until you give up that money.
You can't keep us here after we serve our time.
Can't I? What about the dynamite that's been stolen from the quarry in the past three months? I tell the prison board you did it, and you get five years added.
You ain't got no proof.
You can't even find it.
We'll find the dynamite, and maybe it will have your initials carved on each stick.
I'm not letting you leave here until that money's returned to the state.
Look, I told you 100 times, I lost it.
I dropped it in the river when I was trying to get away.
So you did.
I'm the judge who tried the case, remember? I'm the one who sent you to prison.
I know you, Macauley.
You were lying then, and you're lying now.
Can we go? We don't want to waste no more of your time.
Unless you come to your senses, you're going to have plenty of time to waste.
Take them away.
I still say we're inside our rights.
I say you're not.
Now, what's this? My name's Favor.
I got a herd of cattle here in the valley.
I want to talk to you about that blasting.
Take those men and lock them up.
Don't waste your breath asking any favors, mister.
Now, what's this about cattle? I'm running a herd through here- 3,000 head.
Your blasting is making it kind of hard to keep them from stampeding.
I'm afraid I can't help that.
If you could just hold off for a little while until we get them through I run this camp on a contract basis.
I'm behind schedule now.
All we need is a day.
Well, move them at night.
Moving them at night through this kind of terrain, we could lose half the herd.
Time is money with me- the state's money.
You'll have to work it out yourself.
Hey, uh, could we use some of that water over there? Help yourself.
Always nice to find someone so willing to help you, huh? Tod, who are who are they? Shut up, Cooper.
Who do you care who they are? Oh, let him say what he wants.
I thought maybe they could take a message for me to Jenny and tell her I'm all right, huh? That's important, very important.
That's important to all of us.
They're drovers, Cooper.
Maybe they could take a message, though.
What message? What kind of message is there for you to send? Maybe that-that the pain in here hasn't been so bad lately.
I think she'd like to know that.
I got a message for 'em.
Hey, mister.
Can I talk to you a minute? Go ahead.
Come on over here, will you? Listen, I heard you say you were trail drovers.
You go through that settlement comin' up here? That's right.
Well, there's a little woman there named Anne Macauley, real fine-lookin' woman.
Yeah, she was painting a shack.
We talked to her.
That's my wife.
She is? That's right.
At least I think she is.
Been kind of a long time, you know.
Well, uh, I'd like to get a message to her, and it's real important, see? We'll be going back through that way.
I'm supposed to be getting out of here next month, but, uh, it's going to be sooner now on account of good behavior, you know, and, um, so if you could tell her to get packed up and get ready to leave, 'cause it might be tomorrow, and she should be ready to leave tonight.
That's it? Yeah, that's it.
You'd be doing me a big favor, mister.
Sure, I'll tell her.
Thank you.
What was that all about? Did you give him my message, Tod? Yeah, I gave him a message.
It wasn't mine, though, was it? Hey, you know, Jenny- she worries a lot.
Let's go see Viner.
You got enough dynamite? Sure, sure, I have.
Let's make it tonight.
Whoa, now.
TonightNot a chance.
Make it tonight.
We'll go with you.
No, not me, Tod.
I couldn't make it.
I'm not well enough.
I'm talkin' about me and Kellino.
CrazyYou've only got about another month in here.
Clement'll see us dead before he turns us loose.
Why? What's the difference? You've got enough dynamite, haven't you? Why not tonight? Ah, you told me yourself.
I'd be insane to try to get away from here without horses.
Jenny wouldn't want me to try it, Tod.
Will you shut up? I know where to get horses.
You mean those three nags they got down at the settlement? No, I'm talking about horses- all you need.
Where? Did you see the two men outside? Yeah, I saw 'em.
Well, they got a herd of cattle in the valley.
That means horses, don't it? Lots of horses.
This is kind of fast.
Sure, it's fast.
You see a chance, you take it, don't you? They're not going to hang around waiting for you to make up your mind.
And what'll I do for money? You know what? No, I don't know.
You tell me.
I got money.
I got lots of money.
Me and Kellino, we got all the money we ever took then, right? That's right, but it's ours and we're keeping it.
What good's it going to do us if we never pick it up? You crazyWe need everybody in here to make a break.
They need money once they get out.
What are you going to do, hold out on 'em? Keep on talkin'.
It's nowhere near the town.
Once we get out, there's only going to be two of us to divvy it out me and Kellino but what you get'll be enough to get you lost till you're below the border.
That's all I'm guaranteein'.
That right? Yeah, that's right.
Go along with that? Well, I heard what you said, and if it ain't true, a lot of us in here'll be dead if we can't count on what you promised.
You can count on it.
Can't he? Yeah.
What about guns, Viner? Well, there's guns in town.
Those drovers aren't going to give up those horses easy.
All right, they fight.
What comes easy? Tod You're free and easy with our money, ain't you? Well, Viner and his bunch took a chance gettin' the dynamite.
They don't have to take us in, you know.
What's the use riskin' our necks to break out if we've got to give the money away? Who says we got to give it away? All we got to do is get out.
Hello, Liz.
You're lookin' kind of happy today.
I just wish all of you could be as lucky as I am.
Gettin' your own man back all to yourself? Must be pretty wonderful.
Just one more month.
We'll miss you, Anne.
Whatcha gonna do with this place? I thought I'd give it to Jenny Cooper.
That's why I'm trying to pretty it up a little.
Jenny.
She's scared out of her wits that they're going to take her husband back to Huntsville.
She's got a right to be scared.
They don't want sick men around the camp, and he has lung fever.
They can't, they just can't.
Oh, they will.
Where do you plan on going? Fort Worth.
Fort Worth Mr.
Viner took me there a couple of times.
I saw the prettiest hat in that town I ever laid my eyes on.
Real perky straw all covered in violets.
He hated it.
What do you want to give the place to Jenny for? I'll trade you something for it.
She needs it, living in that leaky tent.
Let her build her own shack like the rest of us.
Now, look, Sarah, Anne wants to give the place to Jenny.
How do you know what she wants? Why don't you stay out of it, Viner? Look, I like the place, Macauley- I'll swap you something good for it.
What, some of that rot gut liquor you boil up? I'm sorry, Sarah, I promised.
What's a promise? Why give it to that sniveling little crybaby? Because she belongs here, that's why which is more than you can claim.
You've got no man up here.
Why do you stay here? Answer me that.
Why do you stay here? I'm warnin' you, Viner.
You try somethin' with me and see what it gets you.
I stay here because I think it's the most beautiful spot in the world and because you're all such wonderful people to be around.
I stay here because I like it.
Does that answer your question? I'll talk to you about the place later.
I wouldn't trust that witch in any kind of a deal.
Don't worry, Liz.
I'm going to give the shack to Jenny.
I have a message for you, Mrs.
Macauley, from your husband.
From Tod? He says he expects to be let out sooner than he thought.
Wants you to be ready to leave right away, maybe even tomorrow.
But that? Well, he can't get out any sooner.
That's impossible.
That's what he told me to tell you.
Are you sure it was my husband? He said you were his wife.
Ann Macauley? Curly-headed man, well-built, easy way of talkin'? That's right.
Well, thank you, Mr.
Favor.
You're welcome.
Something's wrong, huh? Hmm? Well, they look unhappy to me.
They are.
You get the same feelin' I have there's going to be a break tonight? I got the feelin' we better get our herd movin', even over this rough terrain.
No matter what, huh? Afraid we've run out of choices.
Anne? Yes, Liz.
They couldn't be going to try somethin', could they? I mean, my Jack and the rest, and your Tod thrown in with 'em? Not Tod.
No tellin' what's going on up there.
I've been afraid of somethin' like this for a long time.
Liz, Tod only has a month to go.
But we don't know what's happened.
Sometimes, men are forced to make a break.
A breakWhat breakWhen? We don't know, Jenny.
What do you mean, you don't know? You must know something, or you wouldn't talk about it.
We don't know anything.
We don't know anything for sure.
A break.
Oh, that'll be fine.
My Charlie'll try it with the rest of 'em and get shot dead for it.
Jenny, stop worrying.
It's not going to happen.
What'll we do if it does? We stick by 'em like we always have.
Mr.
Favor, thought you weren't going to make it in time for supper.
What'd you find out there, Rowdy? You'd never guess in a thousand years.
Can you make it fast with that meal, Wishbone? Fast? We've got to move the herd out of here tonight.
In this kind of country? Got to.
That blasting's comin' from a prison camp up ahead.
Only time they stop is after dark.
Joe, you and Quince ride out and tell the rest of the men.
We'll eat fast.
We want to be well on our way before the first blast hits at sunup.
How 'bout some chow? Who is it? It's me, Jenny.
Oh, come in, Jenny.
I tried to go to sleep, but I'm scared.
I thought I'd come over for a few minutes.
I'm glad you did, Jenny.
You're so calm.
You're always so calm.
I'm not really calm, Jenny.
I've never been brave.
Never in my whole life.
Have you ever tried this? The Bible? I haven't looked at it since I was a little child.
We could sit down and read it together for a little while.
All right.
How's it go, Pete? It's ragged, boss.
Maybe we'll be far enough away by sunup.
Tod! Don't do it, Tod.
Tod! Tod, don't do it! Tod! Liz, Liz Viner.
What do you want? Did you hear that explosion? You think we're deaf? Do you think the men are trying to break out? I don't know.
Maybe they did it.
Maybe they got away.
How could they get away from a place like that? I'm praying nobody got killed.
You think they'll come here, Liz? I don't know.
Maybe they'll stay in the hills.
Yes, that's what they'll do.
They'll stay in the hills.
Oh, Jack! Come on, you know they're coming after us.
We need them guns fast.
Where's Sarah? I've been waiting.
But don't expect anything extra.
We made a bargain.
I came here because there was money for me if I did my job.
I've done it.
We'll need more than this.
Inside.
Come on, you fellas, inside and get them guns.
We'll be waiting for Clement and the guards when they come down the trail.
Come on, now, hurry it up.
Give me the dynamite, Tod.
You take care of Clement.
I got something else to do.
It better be about getting us them horses.
You better take care of Clement, or we ain't going to need any horses.
Anne, one of the men told me Charlie didn't try to escape.
He stayed behind.
Good, Jenny; there were two who didn't try.
There were t Tod.
Oh Tod.
You ready to go? But, but, Tod Come on inside.
Oh, Tod.
Oh oh, Tod.
What have you done? Never mind that.
Just let me look at you.
You know it's been two years since they let me see you? I thought I remembered how you looked and how you felt.
WhyWhy did you break out? I didn't remember half of it.
You only had a month to go.
I couldn't wait any longer.
Just a month and you couldn't wait? What's the difference? I'm out of there now.
But they'll get you back.
No, they won't; not me.
We're going to start living again.
I'm going back to work.
Are you ready, Tod? Yeah, I'll be right with you.
We're going for the horses.
But Tod We need them.
We got to have them to get out of there.
Where's my tools? You got them? Under the bed.
Now, what good's a carpenter when the law's after him? Don't you worry about that.
I got it figured this time.
You had it figured last time.
We'll talk about it later.
Well, we got the cattle quiet, but Pete's afraid to start moving them till morning.
Then we'll stay here till morning.
The warden said they didn't blast at night.
Maybe the convicts had other ideas.
We're heading back.
Take the cart.
Why, you miserable I'm sorry it got away, Mr.
Wishbone.
That noise startled me.
Charlie, Quince, get over with the horses.
Here, you can have mine.
Hurry up and get them leg irons out of the cart.
If that's a fight, I wish they'd use guns.
Convicts have to use what they can.
I don't get it.
The first two explosions were more than an hour ago.
Still think they're going to try to make a break? We'll soon know.
If they get loose, they'll come looking for horses.
They don't think they're going to get them? You plaster anything that moves.
No.
I'll handle this another way.
You wait here.
Somebody's coming in.
We'll wait.
I'd like to talk to you.
We talked enough this afternoon.
A little different now, though.
What do you want? Horses.
We need them bad.
You won't get them here.
How about we make a deal with you? You give us the horses, and then we can leave them someplace where you can find them.
We need every horse we've got, mister, and then some.
I was hoping you'd be reasonable about this.
You either give us those horses, or we're just going to have to take them.
Well, you were just thinking of trying that, weren't you? It will be different next time 'cause we got dynamite.
If you had dynamite, you'd have let us know by now.
We got it, all right.
It's back in the settlement.
It'll just take a little time to get it out here, so you better give us those horses, or we're going to blow your herd all over the valley.
No horses.
If that's the way you want it.
Pete, get up along that ridge.
See if there's room to move the herd that way.
You're going to bypass this mess? That's right.
We'll be breaking camp while you're looking the ground over.
What about that dynamite? Suppose they come out and use it on the herd while we're moving them? That's just why I'm going into town- to keep them from doing that.
Rowdy, Quince, Scarlet, Rick, Kyle mount up.
Don't you think you'd be better off if you took more men? You'll need all the rest of the men to handle the cattle.
If everything goes right, we'll catch up with you.
Now, get back up there and start scouting that ground.
Did you get the horses, Macauley? I'll have them.
Kellino back yet? I haven't seen him.
Some of the boys in the shack having a little cheer.
I broke out a barrel of hard cider.
Well, that's nice they can let a few of us do all the worrying for them.
How would they like it if Clement and his guards showed up all of a sudden? Didn't you hear the explosions? They figured Kellino already took care of it.
They better do more than figure.
Hey, Macauley! Look what we brought back.
And they had them irons all ready for us.
Well, I'd say we got something working for us now.
You got nothing but trouble working for you, Macauley.
You should have seen it.
Two blasts, and they come to their senses real quick.
Take him to the forge.
Chain him up.
Hey, Viner, where can we get something to eat? Well, there's Sarah's place, and I'll have my woman cook up something.
You don't have to worry about Clement catching up with me.
What do you mean? What about them horses, Tod? I thought you'd have them here by now.
The drovers are playing rough.
You hear me? What? Why don't you listen? I am listening.
You're not saying nothing.
I said the drovers are playing it rough.
The drovers are smart.
Did it ever occur to you the drovers might be smart? Did you tell them? Tell them what? About the dynamite.
Did you tell them? Yeah, I told them.
What did they say? Thanks a lot, lamebrain.
What's the matter with you? Opening your mouth in front of Anne.
She's your wife, ain't she? That don't mean she's got to know everything we're doing.
How about the horses, big man? Well, we got to use the dynamite, so we might as well get going.
I got to eat first.
I haven't had any food since morning.
We got to leave by daylight.
We'll be gone long before that.
Maybe taking time is good.
Maybe them drovers will think it over, they might see things our way.
Not that trail boss.
What's the trail boss mean to us? Horses.
Why didn't you take care of that trail boss? Where were you with the dynamite?! Using it, you understand? Where'd you be if I hadn't used it? That's enough out of you.
What do you mean that's enough? And while we're at it, where's the money? Same place it's always been.
Are you sure, Tod? Yeah.
Do you think your wife will give me food? Sarah will give you food.
I want to be alone with her for awhile.
After you shot your mouth off, I got to talk to her.
You can talk it out when it's all over.
I'll be back in ten minutes, and you better be ready.
I'll be ready.
Have my share ready.
What's the matter, all of a sudden you don't trust me? I don't trust anybody any longer than I have to.
I want my share on me when we go for the horses.
You'll have it.
What's in that sack, Tod, in the rain barrel? Annie, I'm hungry.
I only got a couple of minutes to eat.
It's dynamite, isn't it? We needed it to make our break.
You broke out.
What do you need it for now? So you can use it on the drovers? You don't have to make it your worry.
They've done nothing to you, Tod.
I got nothin' against them.
You're going to hurt them.
Nobody's going to get hurt unless they give us trouble.
Why should they give you their horses? They need them.
Tod Why did you do it? Why did you break out? You want to stay in this hole the rest of your life? In a month, you and I were going to walk out of here free.
You going to feed me, or do I ask Sarah? I'll feed you.
That first shack.
The forge, yeah? Yeah, so we can cover the road from out of town.
Leave the horses here.
Just one yell, mister, just one.
Get these irons off us.
It'd take too much time, make too much noise.
Now don't start anything unless they do.
Don't let anybody get past here.
I'm gonna go with you.
You stay right here.
There's too few of us as is.
Mr.
Favor, Macauley's the main one.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, but there's something you don't know.
What's happened to us, Tod? Annie, will you let it be, please? Look, I waited these years for you.
Stuck it out for you.
Will you listen to me? They weren't going to let me out of there next month.
They weren't going to let me out of there at all.
Why? Because of Clement.
I wouldn't bend to him.
He Why don't you tell her the real reason, Macauley.
Why don't you tell her why you really broke out? Don't try for it.
What is it? Tell her about the money.
Money? You better get out of here.
What does he mean? What money? What what you mean? It's for him to tell you, Mrs.
Macauley.
What money is he talking about? You haven't had any money since That's right.
Don't listen to him.
He's talking wild.
What's he know about me anyway? What do you know about me? What are you doing in here? Warden Clement told me.
Tod.
Will you leave this to me? Will you trust me? The only money you ever had in your life was and you told me you put that back when they took you.
You gave me your word.
All right I didn't tell you.
I didn't want to worry you any more than I had to.
I thought it was all over and it isn't, is it? Well, I didn't hurt anybody by keeping that money.
You didn't see Wells Fargo going out of business, did ya? It's not your money, Tod! I earned it with five years of hard labor.
I know what you went through.
Maybe you think I didn't go through it with you, but I did.
Every hour, every day you spent out there, I spent the same hours and the same days here.
But I don't want any part of this.
I don't want to make this any part of me or of us.
Well, I do.
You remember how it was in Fort Worth? Do you remember when I couldn't get work? Yes, but there's worse things.
What? What's worse than starving to death? What kind of a world do you think this is anyway? You think reading this book is gonna feed you and keep you warm? Well, that's fine right where it belongs in church on Sunday morning after you had a good breakfast.
It's not our money, Tod.
No, it's mine and Kellino's.
We paid for it with five years off our lives.
Well, I gave up just as many years but not anymore.
Not anymore.
What are you doing? Take me with you.
I want to be with you when they use that dynamite against you.
Well, go ahead and pack, Annie.
You have to pack if we're gonna leave anyway.
I brought you some vitals, Frank.
The others Hold it! I only meant to shoot at her feet.
They hear a shot or they hear her blab, it doesn't make any difference.
Trail drovers at the forge.
How many? Three, four.
I didn't stop to count.
They're not going to give us any trouble- not three or four.
Probably came to bargain about the horses.
Get the men together.
Do it easy.
Any trouble starts, blast those cowriders out of there.
I'll go get Tod.
Hold it.
Take it easy.
Let's get these men unchained, huh? I came to tell you some of those drovers are over by the forge.
I see one of them got to you.
You the trail boss? Tod says you play it tough.
Just trying to do my job.
But you gave it some thought and you came to your senses.
You don't want your cattle blasted into a stampeded, do you? The last thing a drover wants is a stampede.
First you played it tough, now you play it smart.
How many horses you gonna give us? Like I told your partner, no horses.
Then we'll blast your herd.
That's just why we came into town.
We don't want our herd blasted, mister.
Five of you against 30 of us.
One stick of that dynamite and we'll blast that forge into pieces as big as that.
All you've done so far is break out of jail.
You'll get extra time for that.
But you start killing, they're gonna hang you.
You're wrong, mister.
We killed four men when we captured Clement.
Now, it's not an original thought, but they can only hang us once, no matter how many men we kill.
Where is it, Tod? Come on, Tod, I swear I'll tear this place to pieces.
I've got a right to know.
Now where is it?! Under the bed.
The tools.
That's right.
Best tools in the world.
The only tools in the world.
No.
All right, I'll tell you what I'll do.
We'll make a sale.
I'll buy your horses.
I got the feeling you just might not live up to the terms of the sale.
Besides, we need every horse we've got.
No sale.
Mr.
Favor the dynamite in the rain barrel right outside the house.
I wouldn't try that.
Why did you stop him? If you hadn't of stopped him, I'd've been dead by now.
It'd be a burning inside of me, but it wouldn't be shame.
In a minute, the burn would be gone and everything would be all right again 'cause everything would be over.
Why did you stop him? Annie.
Annie, what have I done to you? Nobody should want to die.
Nobody should be made to want to die.
I didn't mean that.
Annie, I didn't even know.
The shot came from Tod's place.
Hold it.
Hold it.
Mr.
Favor's orders were no one leaves town.
We don't shoot unless they try to cross to Macauley's shack down there.
Get back inside, girls.
He's dead.
Tod.
You better not go out there.
Viner? What was the shooting about? Kellino's dead.
Who killed him? I did.
Are you crazy? Or maybe you're smarter than the rest of us.
Maybe, maybe not.
I can tell you one thing, though.
There ain't any money out here.
There never was any money waiting out here.
I lied to you because I couldn't break out of that place alone.
What are you getting at? What are you trying to say? There's no money out here.
This time I'm telling you the truth.
You selling us out? You make a deal with those cow herders? All I'm saying is, I lied to you about the money, but maybe you could make it anyway.
What about you, liar? I'm going back.
I got my own reasons.
It's got nothing to do with you.
You walk out on us, Macauley, and I'll cut you down.
I ain't walking out on anybody but me, Viner.
Cut those cow herders down! Tod! Tod? Hold it! Hold your fire! Can't you see what he's carrying? Put out that fuse before you blow us all up.
Hold it.
Anybody moves, I throw this.
Step on the fuse, trail boss.
Step on it.
You've got about ten seconds.
Throw down your guns.
If that goes, you go with it.
Throw down your guns! Cover me.
You all right? Oh, I'm fine.
Just fine.
Oh.
Tod.
Give the money back.
I will.
I will, Tod.
