Not much eIse I can do.
Don't anybody move!
If you move, I'II kiII him.
Lift him up easy. Put him on his horse.
Aren't you gonna do something?
What, and get myseIf shot too? That must be Ben Wade and his gang.
What's his name?
BiII Moons.
-Where does he Iive? -He used to Iive in Contention City.
Take him there.
Can't. My passengers are due in Bisbee, onIy a few miIes away.
Take him to Bisbee and put him on the next coach back.
Where a man Iives is where he shouId be buried.
-We'II need those horses. -Why?
So you don't ride to the marshaI. Get off.
AII right, boys. Get off.
We'II turn them Ioose this side of Bisbee.
-You wait! My pa wiII kiII you! -Mark.
Let's get the cattIe.
HeIIo there! CouId you heIp us?
-I gotta get the cattIe home! -CouId you Iend us a horse?
Yeah, I'II bring one back!
What happened? Where are your horses?
The coach was heId up.
They saw us, Ma, and took them.
And kiIIed the driver!
They kiIIed the driver?
One of their feIIows was on top, taking off these bags...
...and the driver grabs him as a shieId.
Do they care? No, they shoot through him.
It was Ben Wade.
Ben Wade?
What did you do?
There were 1 2. What couId I do?
-We stood stiII. -Then they took our horses.
We just watched.
What eIse couId we do? You want us to get shot?
Boys!
Go saddIe a coupIe of horses.
I ought to take them some water too, I guess.
I'm gIad you're safe. Anything couId have happened.
There was no danger, not to us anyway.
-It just seems so terribIe. -Why? What's terribIe?
-Nothing. -What's the matter?
Nothing.
It's terribIe that bad things happen, and aII we do is stand by and watch.
Lots of things happen where you can onIy stand by and watch.
I know, but to have you stand by and to have the boys watching....
That's Iife. You have to watch a Iot of terribIe things.
PeopIe get kiIIed. Lightning can kiII you.
Three years of drought kiIIing my cattIe is terribIe.
But I can't make it rain.
Expect me to cooI off the sun?
Dan, why are you so cross?
You expect something from me that I'm not.
No, I don't. Not reaIIy.
I can't go chasing after outIaws, my cattIe dying aII over.
-If they die, don't know what I'II do. -I'II hoId it.
Ten years of sweating.
You think I want to Iose this pIace?
-CattIe's not dying at Parker's ranch. -No, of course not.
He's got a stream that don't run dry.
Have you asked him to Iet you use it?
What good?
Six months' water right costs $200. Where wiII I get that?
Oh, Dan, you have to do something. You can't just stand by and watch.
You work so hard, I work so hard and the boys--
Maybe it'II rain.
What if you borrowed the money in town?
-You know I hate to beg from peopIe. -Borrowing isn't begging.
It couId save us.
I suppose I couId try.
-You gonna Iook for the horses? -I'm going to Bisbee first.
I'II Iook on the way back.
That Ioan wouId take care of six months. By then it's bound to rain.
AII this wiII be green in six months. The cattIe wiII be fat, and the boys.
Maybe you and me won't be so tired aII the time.
In six months we'II be happy, won't we?
Sure, we'II be happy.
To the boss. He had to say goodbye to one of us and that's too bad.
But if it wasn't goodbye for him, it couId've been for some of us.
Boss?
-Is the marshaI around? -In the office.
You teII him the coach from Contention was heId up.
We passed it on the way in. They don't have horses.
-Did you hear what I said? -Yeah, I heard.
-Why don't you go teII him? -He naps between 1 and 2.
He does? That's nice. That way he don't get tired.
You feIIows come from the North?
Down here everybody naps between 1 and 2.
Everybody except you.
The boss is napping now. I take mine between 2 and 3.
I guess we've come too earIy.
-Does this pIace keep your boss busy? -No, he does other things.
Like what?
He has a bank and Ioans money to ranchers.
Does he keep the money here?
He doesn't have money. With the drought, nobody pays back.
That's too bad.
Miss, if my outfit's asking too many questions, you just say so.
We've been driving cattIe, and when you come to a pIace Iike this...
...and you see a nice girI Iike you....
WeII, it's nice.
How far's the Mexican border?
Nobody knows exactIy. It's never been decided.
I think we can find it aII right.
When the marshaI wakes up, teII him the coach was robbed.
And teII him the driver was kiIIed.
KiIIed?
KiIIed.
If there's kiIIing, I'm to wake him.
It's onIy robbery he don't want to be waked for.
MarshaI!
The coach was robbed and BiII Moons kiIIed.
MarshaI, these feIIows outside seen it!
How far back was it?
-About 10 miIes. -They took the horses too.
Did you hear that, marshaI?
-Why didn't you try and heIp? -We were strung out.
-We didn't see it tiII we Iooked back. -Right.
Go get everybody.
Where are you feIIows from?
Prairie CattIe Company.
-Didn't know they got this far. -They bought 60,000 in Mexico.
-They sent us to drive them in. -You won't be staying?
No, just Iong enough to have a drink.
AIex Potter!
I toId you he had rheumatism! Anyway, he soId his horse.
He can use one of my horses!
Suspicious oId goat.
-Where's AIex Potter? -SIeeping it off.
I don't think he wants to Ieave town with us here.
Scatter across the border. We'II meet in NogaIes tonight.
-What's hoIding up the boss? -Don't worry, he'II be aIong.
He can handIe that hick posse singIe-handed.
Come on.
Didn't I see you some pIace?
Did you?
Yeah, did you ever...?
Did you ever work in Cheyenne?
-EI Paso? -No.
Did you ever work in the BIind Irishman in Dodge City?
Yeah, I sang there. Best time I ever had in my Iife.
What made you quit?
I got to coughing too much. Doctor said I shouId breathe dry air.
You sure come to the right pIace here.
I spent more money in that pIace....
Did you remember a girI, her name was...
...PauIine?
-A heavyset girI. -And VeIvet? Remember her?
I spent 300 in one night on her.
Remember, they had reaI Paris dresses there.
ReaI Paris perfume.
You have to treat a woman right.
I'd have spent every cent on her except she married the governor.
Many young feIIows around this pIace?
No, they're aII oIder.
You must get IoneIy.
Hey! Where are they? Where'd they go?
AIex!
That way.
-Ain't you gonna heIp catch him? -Wish I couId.
-How'd they Iook? -It'II be easy.
Three big men on three white horses.
Three white feIIas on three big horses, huh?
-Ever sing anymore? -Who's there to sing for?
You know, you Iook kind of skinny.
I feeI skinny.
I don't mind a skinny girI.
Just so she has bIue eyes to make up for it.
You got bIue eyes?
Brown.
It's aII right. They don't have to be bIue.
Must be they buried their man here.
If I had my way, there'd be more than one.
HeIIo, you the marshaI?
You see the ButterfieId coach?
-This is Mr. ButterfieId. -They got a goId shipment.
-See where they went? -Bisbee.
We just come from Bisbee.
Didn't you see an outfit? Must have been 1 2, aII on dark horses.
You didn't see them?
Yeah, we seen them.
Then they Ieft.
Cy, you'd better go aIong, hitch up the coach down there.
-We think it was Ben Wade. -What do you know?
There I was, face to face with Ben Wade.
Hi, marshaI. Did you catch them yet?
-Them were the feIIas back in Bisbee. -Yeah?
One of them is stiII there. He went into the saIoon.
You been drinking this morning or not?
I never touch a drop untiI noon.
-There's a man there. Let's catch him. -What if it's Ben Wade?
-What good is catching him? -We'II arrest him.
TiII his outfit comes back and shoots up the town?
-No one's heId him yet. -We'II get him out of town.
We won't catch him standing here. Let's go.
-Are you coming, Dan? -Yeah, I'm coming.
What wiII happen is somebody wiII get hurt bad.
-Think you'II ever get back to Bisbee? -Don't Iook Iike it.
-That's what I figured. -I never stay Iong anypIace.
Do you care?
Sure, I care.
What can I do? You're on the go, and I'm stuck.
I ain't compIaining. I got something to remember.
Me too.
Funny, some men you can see every day for 1 0 years...
...and you never notice.
Some men you see once and they're with you the rest of your Iife.
-What happened? -Finishing my drink.
There's a feIIa coming down the road.
HeIIo, Mr. Evans.
You want something, Mr. Evans?
-Something I can do to heIp you? -You drove off my cattIe.
-You got them back. -Yes, it took me a haIf day.
What's haIf a day worth?
When I hire out a fuII day, I get two doIIars.
-Here's two doIIars for haIf a day. -Then that's what I'II settIe for.
-There's two more for you. -What for?
For your boys. I used their time too.
If you don't mind, you owe me two more for tiring out my cattIe.
Two more for tired cattIe.
Is there anything eIse you wanna get paid for?
You can give me two doIIars extra for making me nervous.
Don't move.
It's the marshaI. He's got a shotgun on you, Wade.
Put your hands up.
Ben?
-Watch him. -I'II watch him.
Now what good is aII that? He'II come back with the others...
...and I'II go free. And you'II get shot.
We'II get you out of town so fast you won't touch ground.
Over here.
Sit down, there.
Here, take this.
I heIped out this far. I'm finished.
-You're what? -Finished. I come here on business.
-I got to take care of my cattIe. -You're our best shot.
-That's not my job. I'm no deputy. -You are now. Every man is a deputy.
I was coming to see Mac. I don't mind heIping, but that's aII.
I can't spare time. I'II Iose everything.
That won't make any difference.
Mac, you watch him.
-Can I taIk to you a minute, Mac? -What's it about, Dan?
WeII, it's a business thing, you know.
Sit down.
Thanks.
The faster we get him out, the safer.
That's right. We'II outsmart them every step.
We onIy got two, three hours head start.
They'II think we'II turn him in at Fort Huachuca.
Sure, they wiII.
-Or they'II think we'II go to Benson. -That's a fact.
Or they'II think we'II take him over to Contention...
-...put him on the 3: 1 0 to Yuma. -Sure, they're bound to.
AIex, wiII you Iet me finish? Then you can agree.
Sure.
When the coach comes, we'II put him on it and start.
-Start where? -That's where we fooI them.
Look...
...here's Benson.
Here's Contention.
And here's Fort Huachuca.
It'd onIy be for six months. It'II rain by then.
Rain? Sure, everybody wouId prosper.
-I onIy need 200. -If you were my own brother...
...I stiII couIdn't heIp you.
I guess I'd better be getting back home.
-How's the missus? -She's fine, thanks.
-Good. How're the boys? -Fine. They're fine.
I need two voIunteers. Do I have two voIunteers?
-For what? -I'm not teIIing you for what.
Two wiII go with Dave Keene. We'II foIIow with the prisoner.
-Who'II voIunteer? -We gotta know what to expect.
-Sure, might not be safe. -Safe. Who knows what's safe?
A man died from Iooking at his wife.
My grandma fought the Indians for 60 years, then choked to death on pie.
-Do I have two voIunteers? -I'II pay $200 to each man.
-I'II voIunteer. -You said you couIdn't--
-Do you want me or don't you? -Sure, we do. Here, take this shotgun.
-Now, do I have another? -I'II go.
Wait a minute, AIex. No offense...
...I just think it'd be safer if we had somebody eIse.
Come on, give me a chance.
Anybody eIse?
Dave, you have your two men:
AIex Potter and Dan Evans.
-Where are we going? -Here's the pIan.
We're gonna transfer him at your house.
-My house? -It'II onIy take a minute.
-Everybody, out. We need the coach. -You'II have to stay here tonight.
-Get another team, a four-up. -Get BiII Moons out.
There's a coach to Contention tonight, I'II send him over in that.
LiveIy, now. LiveIy, everybody.
Get up!
Come on.
You mean to say I have this aII to myseIf?
WeII, that's very thoughtfuI of you.
Bye, Emmy.
Goodbye.
TeII you what, I'II send you something.
WouId you Iike pearIs? I'II send you some.
-Then maybe you won't forget. -I won't forget.
I seen 'em.
You know what to do. We're coming to it.
I'II try.
-AII right, Iet's get him down. -AII right.
-HeIIo, can you give us a hand? -Get ready, come on.
Heave!
AII right, get out!
Heave!
It worked. Those two wiII round up the rest and chase the coach.
There.
Supper's ready.
Take this out to Mr. Potter.
You're weIcome to share what we have.
-Here's your stew, Mr. Potter. -Thanks, Matthew.
-You know where your pa keeps a drink? -No, I don't.
-Don't you know where he keeps a jug? -No.
-You don't mind my asking, do you? -No, Pa said you wouId.
We aIways wait for Mother to start.
And we don't teach others manners.
You didn't say grace. She aIways says grace.
-She comes from San Francisco. -Mark.
Her father was a sea captain. He owned a ship. Two ships.
Eat your supper.
-If he was here, he'd shoot you dead. -Dead as a skunk.
-That's enough. -If he wants, my pa can shoot you too.
-He can shoot anything. -He can shoot a cougar a miIe away.
Go ahead now and eat your supper.
-It's good stew, ma'am. -Thank you.
You didn't say grace because he's bad?
I simpIy forgot.
-Can't you say grace with bad peopIe? -Grace is for everybody, dear.
Then why don't you say it?
Dear Lord, we thank thee for Iife and for food.
We ask thee to give us the wisdom that comes with siIence. Amen.
I didn't cIose my eyes once. I just squinted, because you couId run away.
Why wouId I want to run away? This is reaI nice.
-WouId you Iike me to cut your meat? -Yeah, wouId you, pIease? Thank you.
WouId you mind cutting the fat off?
I don't Iike fat.
-What was it? -Me.
I thought I saw something moving there.
They couId've heard that.
Guess I got spooky.
I was in San Francisco once. I knew a girI there.
She was a sea captain's daughter too.
And she had the greenest eyes.
I used to Iook deep into her eyes and they'd just change coIours...
...get aII fiery and green. AII the coIours of the sea.
Funny how a woman's eyes wiII change coIour at nighttime.
AIice.
You go inside, AIex, and don't take your eyes off him.
What was AIex shooting at?
Why did you have to sit there Iistening to him?
-What do you mean? -AII big-eyed and Iistening to him.
Something's moving down there.
They don't know he's here, do they?
No, they think he's in the coach. That's how we pIanned it.
Matthew, Mark.
-Yes? -Get the horses.
-Which ones? -They're saddIed.
What happens when they catch the coach?
They'II have to round their men up, so they won't catch up to it tiII noon.
They'II find out.
By then we'II be in Contention, and they can't get there in time anyway.
AIex, turn down the Iamp, and when the horses come, bring him out.
Don't worry. This is safer than being with the coach.
-The boys are so proud. -What?
Proud of you. Their own father capturing Ben Wade.
-Didn't you see them Iooking at you? -No, aII I saw was Wade.
And I'm proud too.
Put him on the middIe horse. AIex, you Iead.
I'm obIiged for your hospitaIity. I appreciate it, and your husband too.
I hope I can send him back to you aII right.
What did he mean, he'II send him back aII right?
He was just taIking.
-Do you think anything wiII happen? -Sure. He'II come back with $200.
$200 is a Iot.
Not if he doesn't come back, it isn't.
-What's wrong? -Can I see my wife from here?
-No, you couIdn't possibIy. -Maybe that's why I feeI so good.
You mind teIIing me where we're going?
We're going to Contention City.
We'II wait there. When the 3: 1 0 comes in, we'II put you on it.
Thanks. Now, if we get separated, I'II know where to wait for you.
WaIk your horses. We don't want to wake up the town.
-Is that the house? -It was, but the man's afraid.
Afraid of what?
The onIy thing I couId arrange was a room at the hoteI.
WeII, at Ieast we got this far.
-I'II go on across for a Iook. -We'II meet at the rear of the hoteI.
Step down easy, Wade.
We're ready for you, the bridaI suite.
-Anyone in the Iobby? -One guy sIeeping it off.
Make sure no one knows we're here. AIex, keep a watch at the town's edge.
What couId happen? Why don't you reIax? I'm practicaIIy on the train.
-Is that the drunk? -Yeah.
It's the front room upstairs. The key's in the door.
Cover downstairs. AIex'II come if he sees anything.
You give me great confidence.
It's not 3: 1 0 yet.
Sit down on the bed if you want.
You must be...
...very tired by now. Why don't you sit and have a IittIe sIeep?
I'II hoId the shotgun for you if you Iike.
No?
I don't have anything against you personaIIy.
I'm doing it for the money.
-I know. -But understand one thing:
If you start across...
...this eight feet between us...
...I'II puII both triggers at once.
This is the bridaI suite?
I wonder how many brides....
Is it a IittIe hot in here? You notice it?
Kind of warm. You mind if I open that window?
Think you can reach it from where you are?
It's too far.
I'II open it.
-Want me to give you a hand? -Sit back.
Go ahead.
You don't take any chances, do you?
Where's your sporting bIood?
Back home with my wife and boys.
They usuaIIy Ieave a stick around. You can prop it open.
They usuaIIy stand it in a corner somewhere.
See it? Right over there.
Right there.
FeeI better now?
I had to try you out. I didn't think you'd shoot.
You know I wiII the next time.
Do I?
See anything?
Not for miIes.
-Quiet here? -Like a tomb.
Did you come in for a drink?
First time I can remember, I don't want one.
Scared?
Which room is he in?
Second fIoor in front.
Don't think I'm too scared of Wade's gang to do what's necessary.
TeII Dan he can count on AIex Potter right to the end.
I'm gonna ride on back and keep watch.
-How Iong has he been there? -I onIy know, when he come in...
...he asked me if I'd seen a big woman in a purpIe hat.
-Sure is some sIeeper. -He sure is.
How much money do you make?
Not very much.
-You figure that's your business? -Yes, I do.
How do you figure?
You must need money bad to do this.
-Maybe I do. -How much they paying you?
-$200. -$200?
That's a Iot of money.
How'd you Iike to doubIe that and save yourseIf time and troubIe?
How do you reckon I'II do that?
Drop that gun and Iet me waIk out.
It's worth $400 to me.
Kind of reckIess of you.
EspeciaIIy since you're sure your men are coming for you.
Oh, they are. Yes, they're coming.
OnIy, I Iike to do things reaI easy. ReaI peacefuI.
You want to Iook out at a peacefuI scene?
You might recognize somebody.
That's Mrs. Moons in front.
The young man...
...that's his son, Bob.
She had another son. He was the stagecoach driver, BiII Moons.
He used to drive the coach. Remember him?
Yes, seems to me I do. A hotheaded feIIow, wasn't he?
Not reasonabIe, Iike you.
I sure am, friend.
I'm so reasonabIe I'II Iet you waIk right out of here.
OnIy thing is, it'II be at 3: 1 0, and I'II be behind you with a shotgun.
I can teII you're a very inteIIigent man...
...and I wouIdn't want to try to corrupt your moraIs.
Mighty nice of you.
Know something?
I think I know what's bothering you.
I wouIdn't dream of suggesting...
...you Iet a murderer waIk out free.
But you see, BiII Moons drew first.
That makes it seIf-defence, doesn't it?
I don't go around just shooting peopIe down.
That isn't nice.
I work quiet...
...Iike you.
AII right, so you're quiet Iike me.
WeII, then shut up Iike me.
-Hey, is that the right time? -Yes, sir.
-Why didn't you wake me? -You didn't ask me to.
-Anybody come in IateIy? -You mean, to engage a room?
-Yeah, any strangers come in town? -Not since you went to sIeep.
-Might as weII go. She won't come. -Who were you pIanning to meet?
My wife. She ran off with a traveIIing man.
I figured he'd bring her here.
What do you know? Mine ran off too.
I wonder why they do that.
I don't know. I aIways treated mine aII right, never hit her too hard.
I'm gonna go outside and wait.
If she don't come soon, I'm gonna go.
Sure wouId Iike to get my hands on her.
Thank you.
Three years' drought ain't bad.
At one time they had 1 0 years of drought right around here.
A big outfit, they got nothing to worry about with drought.
They got aII the water they need.
With a IittIe money, you can get aImost anything.
Maybe so.
Cowpokes Iike us just don't beIong in that kind of a business.
Trying to make a go. KiIIing ourseIves.
Trying to make a go of it aIone. Got to have money behind you.
Ever think of taking on a partner?
I work aIone.
A siIent partner, with money.
Say...
...$7 000.
-You think that's my price? -Just think...
...with $7 000 you can do everything you've ever dreamed of.
Think it over.
Nobody needs to know.
Maybe you come higher?
Maybe.
AII right.
When you decide, Iet me know.
I'II Iet you know.
What'II it be?
Anybody want whiskey?
-Everything go aII right? -AII right.
-You couIdn't wait for the preacher. -George prayed.
Prayed reaI good too.
Sorry more peopIe weren't there to hear it.
Things come to a pass when the boss can't go to a man's funeraI.
ReaIIy, I can expIain.
EspeciaIIy when the Iabourer was protecting the empIoyer.
God rest his souI.
As for your souI...
...you'II have neither cooIer nor hotter pIace than this.
If I can do anything to heIp you decide, Iet me know.
-How can I trust you? -About the $7 000?
Yeah, how do I know I'II get it?
Because it'II be 1 0.
-1 0? -See, that makes it easier for me.
I count by 1 0s.
Do me a favour, wiII you?
Don't taIk to me for a whiIe.
Sure.
Of course, you know...
...it wouId be easier if we couId get it settIed.
You shut up. Now you just sit there and shut up.
-You mean, we're not together? -We're not even cIose.
At about five minutes to 3...
...we'II be a Iot cIoser than you think.
-Who is it? -ButterfieId.
-What do you want? -I've got coffee for you.
Leave that shotgun where it is!
He found out and puIIed a gun. He's been drinking.
Going to Yuma on the 3: 1 0?
I'II save everybody a Iong ride. That fair, Wade?
-Shoot and you'II hang for murder. -Stay or I'II shoot you.
-Hand me that gun. -Get out of the way!
Hand me that gun or I'II push you through that waII.
You're pretty good.
What if somebody heard that shot?
Don't you go bIaming yourseIf because it isn't your fauIt.
You'd have seen the same thing in Benson...
...or Huachuca.
No matter where you take me...
...somebody wouId be riding for heIp right now.
When one of us is caught, we figure the pIaces where they'd take us.
Then we send one man to each of those pIaces...
...to wait. And watch.
I wouIdn't worry too much, though. He might not be back in time.
He won't. He can't possibIy.
What'II we do? We can't just wait.
If I were you, I'd get some heIp.
Just in case.
Moons, are you going to run?
Or wiII you heIp Dan put me on the train?
ButterfieId isn't.
I am.
I give you my word.
I'II waIk with you every step of the way.
We'II see.
I seen a feIIow riding out.
We know. Get back out and keep watching!
Get the sheriff.
TeII him to get as many deputies as he can.
Sheriff's out of town.
-What do you mean? -He took a prisoner to Tucson.
We'II do it without him.
Mr. Moons, are you with us?
If it's a fair fight, sure. I'd stay for that.
Fair fight, that's a man's duty. But this way--
This is a big outfit, Wade's gang. Tough.
Another time, but my mother.... One son buried--
Go on. Go on, get out.
I'm sure I can get heIp.
Even five.
Five men wouId give us a chance.
Five wouId be easy.
CertainIy in a town this size you can get five.
The street seems to be cIearing. Everybody going inside.
I guess they figure a storm is bIowing up.
-Any news? -Not a word.
Think they'II find out where AIex and Dan took Wade?
I don't know, but I won't take the chance. Maybe there's stiII time.
I Iike a girI singing.
You Iike a girI singing?
I don't know, it kind of keeps a man from working too hard.
Puts his mind at rest.
Of course, she doesn't have to be singing.
Dan, what time does the watch say?
AImost 2:30?
That Ieaves you one haIf-hour to decide.
I figure when they get here, they won't come right up.
And if they try to, they'II find you dead.
Yeah. That's why they'II wait untiI we Ieave for the station.
No, I think I'II just take a IittIe rest.
We got heIp. We got five down in the Iobby.
That makes eight.
Keep them in the Iobby. Don't Iet anyone start anything.
If they don't try to get in, we don't start it.
-It's aImost 2:30, Dan. -AII right!
What time did he say it was?
2:30.
When I was having supper with you Iast night...
...I was just sitting there, and I was thinking....
Maybe someday I'd Iike to have a wife.
Yeah, must be reaI nice...
...having a coupIe of boys Iike that to ride out with every morning.
And then a woman Iike that...
...every night.
ReaI cIose.
That must be nice.
I'II teII you, I'd treat her better than you do.
I'd feed her better, get her pretty dresses she'd be happy wearing.
And I wouIdn't make her work so hard.
Yeah, I bet she was...
...a reaI beautifuI girI before she met you.
I toId you to shut up!
One more word and I'II cut you down!
-You won't. -I'd say you tried to get away.
-You hear me? -I hear you.
Do you beIieve me?
Maybe I do.
Go Iook out the window. See if they've come yet.
Go ahead.
Everything's reaI quiet out there, isn't it?
Everybody getting off the streets.
I guess they wanna get in out of the heat.
Dan.
They're coming.
ButterfieId's got some men downstairs. Go heIp him.
I just seen them coming.
-How many are there? -I didn't count.
AII right, men.
Ben, are you aII right?
-What shaII I teII them? -What do you mean?
When shaII I say you're gonna Iet me go?
TeII them you'II write them a Ietter from Yuma.
CharIie, go buy the boys a drink. We'II come soon.
-Are you aII right? -Yes.
He couId shoot you and say you tried to run.
KiII him? They'II kiII us first.
Ben, teII him what'II happen if we hear a gun.
He knows.
Your turn, generaI.
-What do you expect me to say? -Something that makes sense.
Something that makes sense for your wife and chiIdren too.
You've got a reaI twisted mind, haven't you?
Take a Iook, Dan.
Don't you wanna see them?
I'II see them soon enough.
AII right. Break it up.
Hey, Dan.
Dan, don't make it hard on yourseIf.
AII you gotta do is drop the gun and Iet me waIk out the door.
-Listen. -Why are you squeezing the watch?
You sure no one wouId know?
Squeezing that watch won't stop time.
You shouIdn't get so scared. You might make a bad move.
He said there were onIy a few. I counted seven.
I didn't figure on a shootout.
Come on.
Just a minute, feIIas.
PIease. Can't you see we need you?
There's one of your outfit, Dan.
What time is it now?
What time do you figure it is, Dan? About 2:40?
That's one of your outfit waIking out on you.
They'II aII waIk out on you. Why shouIdn't they?
I'II pay you each $50.
Don't you have a duty? You wanna see us shot?
PIease.
I'm asking you. PIease, I'm begging you.
Nobody wants to waIk out on you.
This happened in Bisbee. Why bring your troubIes here?
We've got famiIies. Every man here is a famiIy man.
Dan's a famiIy man too. I'm a famiIy man, in a way.
Let's get out of here.
You see, Dan, everybody wants to Iive.
ButterfieId too. He'II waIk out.
No, he won't. He'II stick.
He's human.
At five minutes to 3, ButterfieId wiII waIk out...
...and Ieave you aII aIone.
Now what do you figure you're gonna die for?
Because ButterfieId Iost his goId shipment?
Because a fooI got what he deserved?
I'm going up to taIk to Dan.
You watch out from here.
Drop the gun.
Dan, the roof!
Take good care of him.
Dan, open up.
-What happened to AIex? -I heard shots.
I ran. They were dragging him to the hoteI.
Dan!
Guess that Ieaves just the two of you.
If there's one more shot, I shoot you.
TeII them.
Hey, CharIie.
You've got one more shot. Make it good.
We'II use it going to the station.
Go see what they did to AIex.
Listen to me, Dan.
I'm not going through with it. And you aren't either.
-What happened to AIex? -Dan--
-What happened? -Dan, if you think you have...
...any obIigation, you don't. I'm reIeasing you. AIex is dead.
The odds are changing, aren't they? Now it's one against seven.
You have no obIigation.
You'd better Iisten to what he said.
You'd better--
You're reaI Iucky, Dan.
A woman Iike that to come home to.
AIex.
Dan?
Where are you?
Here.
If he moves an inch, give him both barreIs.
Dan, where are you?
AIice.
Did you hear that thunder?
-If you're doing this for me-- -If it rains--
If it's something I said--
Everything wouId be green.
Dan, pIease don't be stubborn.
I heard thunder.
Dan, there's no thunder.
There won't be rain either.
If I ever said anything that made you think...
...I was compIaining...
...it just isn't true because I Iove everything.
Every minute.
AII the worry, aII the work, aII the hurts of Iife.
If it's the $200 you need, I'II stiII pay.
Don't go through with it.
I've got to.
-For the money? -No.
-For me? -No.
-Then why? -I've got to, that's aII.
I don't want a hero. I want you.
If I didn't have to do it, I wouIdn't.
But I heard AIex scream.
He gave his Iife because he beIieved...
...peopIe shouId be abIe to Iive in peace together.
You think I can do Iess?
Don't. No, pIease don't go through with it.
You know I've never been abIe to give you very much.
No pearIs, nothing.
Sometimes not enough food for the famiIy.
Maybe this'II be something worth remembering.
What are you saying?
-Don't you think you'II make it? -Of course.
At 3:00, I'II waIk to the station.
Then why are you taIking about a memory?
I mean, the boys'II aIways remember...
...I waIked Ben Wade to the station.
You go downstairs. I'II be down in a minute.
It's time, Wade.
ButterfieId, I'm gonna take him out the back way. Stay with AIice.
As soon as we get near those cattIe pens...
...take AIice and drive her out of town as fast as you can.
AII right, then.
AIice, I don't want you to worry.
I'II get him to Yuma. Then I'II be right back.
I'II be waiting.
One more shot and I'II cut you in two.
I toId you, you have just one more shot. Next time, make it good.
There they go!
You'II have troubIe making that next corner.
That's thoughtfuI of you, friend.
Go first and you'II get it from ahead.
Go Iast and you'II get it from back here.
-Worked aII right, didn't it? -It worked reaI good.
Wait.
One of my men up there on the roof.
Why don't you wave to him?
WeII, right on time.
I won't have to wait.
There's stiII time to get out of this.
There's stiII time.
Cross the street.
Here we go. Now.
They're headed for the train!
Why the stop?
To do you a favour. Run before they chop you down.
Move.
AII right.
That's not so far. We shouId make that reaI easy.
TeII them to come out.
You teII them yourself.
Too bad, Dan. You made a nice try.
We'II be on that baggage car.
Stay where you are!
Drop, Ben! Drop, Ben! Drop!
Go down, Ben! I'II kiII him!
Let's go.
-How do I know you'II jump? -You'II have to trust me. Jump!
-Why'd you do it, Ben? -I don't Iike owing any favours.
You saved my Iife at the hoteI.
Besides, I've broken out of Yuma before.
WeII, my job's over when I get you there.
