Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
If you want any tickets,
you'll have to go around,
...uh, to, uh, the front of the,
...uh...
Oh, well, I suppose it'll be all right.
What the hell am I doing around here?
They walk in here and do as they damn please.
Uh, let's see, uh, I hope I got...
Three?
That'll be seven dollars...
...and 50 cents.
Shh!
Are you Frank?
Frank sent us.
Did you bring a horse for me?
Well...
Looks like we're...
Looks like we're shy one horse.
You brought two too many.
Hey, Pa! Look!
That's enough for now.
It's getting late, come on home.
Boo!
Timmy.
Maureen, look.
Mm.
Ah!
Whatcha doin' there?
Go inside, quick, and get washed.
And don't touch the apple pie or the roast.
Patrick's already left for the station, huh?
Oh, he's getting ready, Pa.
Damn it, Patrick!
Coming, Pa.
Well...
...not bad, I'd say.
Bigger them slices, what the hell.
We're throwing a party, ain't we?
But these are the same slices as usual.
Yeah, sure.
As usual.
Maureen...
...soon you can cut the bread...
...in slices as big as a door if you want to.
You'll have beautiful new clothes,
...and you won't have to work no more.
We going to get rich, Pa?
Who knows?
Patrick!
Wait a minute.
Look at the filth on your boots.
Clean 'em.
The train'll come in...
...and there won't be no one to meet your mother.
Our mother died six years ago.
Go now. You'll really be late.
Hey, just a minute. Listen, Pa.
How am I gonna recognize her?
Well, you can't make no mistake, Patrick.
She's, uh, she's young...
...and, uh, she's, uh, pretty,
...and, uh, uh...
...she's a lady.
Uh, uh...
"For... For-For traveling, I'll be wearing a black dress...
..."and the, and the same, uh,
...straw hat I was wearing... when we met. "
Uh, uh... I'm going to get some fresh water from the well.
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are callin'...
And all the roses fall...
Maureen!
What are we gonna do with this one, Frank?
Now that you've called me by name...
Howdy, George!
Right on time, huh?
That's beyond them tracks.
I saw some mighty fine stock down South.
Is that so?
And the prices are real good.
Are these your valises, ma'am?
Yes.
Come, Sam.
Bring them over to her, Race.
We'll tote 'em for you, ma'am.
What have you got?
That true, the sawmill needs hands?
Was yesterday.
Why don't you tell your brother?
Hiya, Gramps.
Hi, Bill. We're back again.
Come on. Get a move on, will ya?
Ha! Ha!
Get the lead out of your asses, you red-skinned warriors.
I got a whole train to unload.
All right.
Shut down those feed sacks first.
Come on.
Come on...
What's your name, and the place you wanted to go?
Sweetwater.
Hmm?
Brett McBain's farm.
McBain.
Yeah, sure.
That stubborn, redheaded Irishman,
...killing sand for years way out there...
...in the middle of nowhere.
Sweetwater.
Only a loony like him could call that stinkin'...
...piece of desert "Sweetwater. "
Sweetwater!
Hiya!
Sweetwater.
That's right...
...a little more to the right.
Higher, higher.
Hold it there.
Here they are.
They got here with their damn rails.
They caught up with us again, hey, Lafayette?
Let's go!
- Right over. - Hey, slow down.
What's the matter with you? Slow down!
Hey, boys, watch out...
Watch out down there!
Slow down!
Ho!
Why are we stopping?
I told you I was in a hurry.
Don't the train stop?
Yeah.
What can I do for you, ma'am?
I would like some water,
...if it's no trouble.
Water?!
Well, you see, that word is poison...
...around these parts...
...ever since the days of the great flood.
You mean you never wash?
We sure do.
Well, I'd like to use the same facilities...
...you people do.
You sure can.
Just happen to have a full tub in the back.
And you're lucky.
Only three people have used it this morning.
Used it one at a time or all together?
I can tell you're accustomed to fine living.
Bet you come from one of those big...
...eastern cities.
New Orleans.
New Orleans?!
You've been there?
No.
But I got a cousin down there.
She runs a bar.
You know she...
Oh!
Oh.
Jug.
Do you only know how to play,
...or do you know how to shoot?
You know how to blow music from that?
Pick it up.
You!
You don't know how to play.
Try this one.
Take it.
Go on.
Here.
Bravo.
Huh.
Cheyenne.
We thought we'd never make it.
It's all right.
You're right on time.
To bury my escort.
If I'd waited for you, I'd be in jail by now.
Hey.
The gun.
You, uh, interested in fashions, Harmonica?
I saw three of these dusters a short time ago.
They were waitin' for a train.
Inside the dusters there were three men.
So?
Inside the men there were three bullets.
That's a crazy story,
Harmonica.
For two reasons.
One... nobody around these parts...
...got the guts to wear those dusters,
...except Cheyenne's men.
Two... Cheyenne's men don't get killed.
That surprise you?
Yeah.
Well, you know music...
Hmm.
And you can count...
...all the way up to two.
All the way up to six if I have to.
And maybe faster than you.
Yeah, go on.
Play, Harmonica.
Play, so you can't bullshit.
Only watch those false notes.
Like so?
And so this cousin of mine keeps writing me...
...to come on down to New Orleans.
"Come on down, help me with the bar.
Make a pile of money. "
You know, I don't think I'd get along in a big city.
It's too full of fast men...
...and loose women... beggin' your pardon, ma'am.
Oh, no.
Now I'm too used to a quiet, simple country life.
He's Timmy.
Yes.
Dear God.
On the day...
On the very day of your wedding.
Poor little miss.
Missus.
Mrs. McBain.
But we all...
Oh, but we thought...
I know.
It was to be a surprise today.
Brett McBain and I were married...
...a month ago...
...in New Orleans.
I am the resurrection and the life:
He that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Whosoever liveth and believeth in me...
...shall never die.
Amen.
Mr. Bennett!
What's he doing here?
I found this collar on a nail by the door.
You got no way of knowing, but this is as good...
...as a signature.
Cheyenne's hand.
But why?
Don't worry, Mrs. McBain.
We'll make him tell us before we hang him.
Let's get movin'.
Come on.
Let's go back to Flagstone.
No, Sam.
You go back.
You don't want to stay out here alone.
Why not?
This is my home.
You know, Wobbles...
...I'm kind of mad at you.
Frank wasn't there.
- Ow! - He sent three friends.
I don't know nothin', I swear.
I only arranged the meeting the way...
...the way you wanted it.
I don't know why Frank wasn't there.
I swear to you that I...
...'Cause he was at the McBains'.
That's not true.
Cheyenne did that job... everyone knows that.
We got proof.
That was always one of Frank's tricks:
Fakin' evidence.
I don't know. I swear.
I- I only arranged the meeting.
I swear I don't know nothin'.
Who's there?
Did you make coffee?
Make it.
Didn't sleep a wink.
Pack of turds dressed in black
rode herd on me the whole damn night.
Yeah, but I left 'em in the middle of the desert.
They're lucky, they'll be home in three days.
I'll do it...
...and you fix the coffee.
They want to hang me...
...the big black crows.
Idiots.
What the hell?
I'll kill anything...
...never a kid.
Be like killin' a priest.
A Catholic priest, that is.
Yeah, the world is full of people...
...who hate Cheyenne.
You see, I ain't the mean bastard...
...people make out.
Of course, uh...
...if somebody had in mind to kill me...
...it fires me up...
...and a fired-up Cheyenne...
...ain't a nice thing to see,
...especially for a lady.
But you're too smart to make him mad.
So this here's where I was supposed to do...
...all the killin', hmm?
Hmm.
Don't seem the place is worth a shit.
Now... if somebody gets dressed up to look like me...
...so they can hang this thing around my neck,
...I don't like it none,
...but I can understand it.
Hmm. What I don't understand...
...is the why.
Neither do I.
But I see you looked a lot for the why.
Yeah.
What if there were a whole heap of whys...
...round, yellow...
...you know the kind.
You rap 'em on a stone,
...and they go ding.
Maybe...
...but I didn't find them.
Hmm.
By the way,
...do you know anything...
...about a man going around playing a harmonica?
He's somebody you'd remember.
Instead of talkin', he plays...
...and when he'd better play, he talks.
You know, ma'am, when you've killed four,
it's easy to make it five.
Sure.
You're an expert.
Ma'am, it seems to me you ain't caught the idea.
Of course I have.
I'm here alone in the hands of a bandit who smelled money,
...and if you want to, you can lay me over the table...
...and amuse yourself, and even call in...
...your men. Well...
...no woman ever died from that.
When you're finished, all I'll need
will be a tub of boiling water,
...and I'll be exactly what I was before...
...with just another filthy memory.
You make good coffee, at least?
Not bad.
Congratulations.
Tell me,
...was it necessary that you kill all of them?
I only told you to scare them!
People scare better when they're dyin'.
Then can you tell me...
...what good was your stupid massacre?
Now a Mrs. McBain has turned up.
So, I didn't expect that.
It happens in business.
Let's say this is...
...something we didn't plan on.
I have no time for surprises, Frank.
You know that.
I got on board in sight of the Atlantic,
...and before my eyes rot,
I want to see the blue of the Pacific...
...outside that window.
I know where you got on board.
I was there, too, remember?
To, um...
...remove small obstacles from the track, you said.
Well, there were a few...
...but we traveled a long way just the same,
...and fast.
Even tuberculosis of the bones...
...travels fast.
Don't play the sick man with me, Mr. Morton.
I knew you when you were just barely limping.
I watched that dry rot rise a little more every day.
Any normal man'd put a bullet in his brain,
...but you... you just... got a little more hasty.
Otherwise, you ain't changed any.
I'd say you've changed, Frank...
...a lot.
You used to take care of certain things personally.
Now...
...you're keeping in the background.
You'll end up giving orders.
It's because now I don't want to leave you alone too much.
You're going to need somebody more and more every day...
...to stay near you...
- like a friend. - Or like a partner.
Hmm?
How does it feel sitting behind that desk, Frank?
It's almost like holdin' a gun...
...only much more powerful.
You see,
...staying with you, uh...
I'm beginning to think big, too.
This McBain business...
...is giving me ideas.
I'm sorry for you,
...Frank.
You're doing your best.
You'll never succeed in becoming like me.
- Why? - Because...
...there are many things you'll never understand.
This is one of them.
You see, Frank,
...there are many kinds of weapons,
...and the only one that can stop that...
...is this.
Now, shall we get back...
...to our little problem?
My weapons might look simple to you, Mr. Morton,
...but they can still shoot holes...
...big enough for our little problems.
Pretty soon, the widow McBain won't be a problem no more.
You wake up one morning and say, "World, I know you.
From now on, there are no more surprises,"...
...and then you happen to meet a man like this
...who looked like a good man...
...clear eyes, strong hands...
...and he wants to marry you...
...which doesn't happen often,
...and he says he's rich, too,
...which doesn't hurt.
So you think, "To hell with New Orleans.
"Now I'll say yes and go live in the country.
"I wouldn't mind giving him a half a dozen kids after all...
...take care of a house, do something... what the hell?"
Well, God rest your soul, Brett McBain...
...even if he's going to have a job...
...pulling you out of the devil's grip.
Still, I swear he left money around someplace.
If you can find it, you're welcome to it.
Mrs. McBain goes back to civilization...
...minus a husband, and plus a great future.
Hmm.
You deserve better.
The last man who told me that...
...is buried out there.
You know, Jill, you remind me of my mother.
She was the biggest whore in Alameda,
...and the finest woman
...that ever lived.
Whoever my father was, for an hour...
...or for a month... he must've been a happy man.
Hey. Hey! Ha, Ha!
Hey!
What do you want?
Cheyenne's right.
Once you've killed four, it's easy to make it five.
This isn't the time to leave.
Get me some water.
From the well.
I like my water fresh.
When you hear a strange sound, drop to the ground.
A sound?
Like what?
Like that.
He not only plays...
...he can shoot, too.
Good morning, Mrs. McBain.
- What brings you to town? - Good morning.
Maybe you don't remember,
...but yesterday at the funeral I...
...I remember very well.
Is there something I can do for you?
Yes.
See Frank... and tell him I know everything.
Why is everybody...
...hounding me about this guy Frank?
I don't know him.
I never heard of him.
I got my own worries...
...and all I want is to be left in peace.
Tell Frank I want to negotiate with him...
...personally!
You were told not to come here...
...for any reason.
Whatever business you have with Frank,
...keep it far away from here.
Yes, I-I know, Mr. Morton,
...but when I heard...
...that woman say she knew everything,
...I thought that the important thing was for me...
...to come over here right away and tell you about it.
You never thought it wasn't a trick?
Sure, but you know that I'm mighty careful, Frank.
No one could've followed me.
That's the first thing I learned working for you:
To listen unseen, and to watch unheard.
Hmm, you should learn to live...
...as if you didn't exist.
You-You've known me a long time, Frank.
You know you can trust me.
Wobbles...
...how can you trust a man...
...that wears both a belt and suspenders...
...a man can't even trust his own pants?
Let's get out of here.
The end of the line.
Yeah.
Get him on board.
Tie him up.
Wait, Frank...
I...
So nobody followed you.
No... you gotta believe me.
So this is the way...
...I can trust you.
I can explain.
I didn't know that he...
Get out.
No, no... no, Frank...
Get out!
Shh.
Frank, wait...
I told you to keep quiet.
Where are Logan and Jim,
they take care of the woman?
Someone took care of them.
We found them out at McBain's place.
Stone dead.
And the woman was gone.
Your friends have a high mortality rate,
Frank.
First three, then two.
So you're the one who makes appointments.
And you're the one who doesn't keep 'em.
What do you want?
Who are you?
Dave Jenkins.
Dave Jenkins is dead a long time ago.
Calder Benson.
What's your name? Benson's dead, too.
You ought to know, Frank, better than anyone.
You killed them.
Who are you?
Who are you?!
Frank!
The woman.
We're only losing time.
All right.
This time I'll take care of her personally.
Yeah, it ought to be easy for you.
Keep him warm for me.
If he gives you any trouble, hit him.
Not in the mouth... he's gotta talk...
...and plenty.
Meet me at the Navajo cliff.
By the way, I want you to keep an eye on that cripple...
...all the time, understand?
Sure, Frank.
