0:01:39 > 0:01:42GUNSHOT
0:01:59 > 0:02:02GUNSHOT
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Thank you, gentlemen, and ma'am.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04- I've always been lucky, but never expect three aces! - Were you alone down there?
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- I'm most always alone, but I welcome company now. - Where you from? Georgia?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- North Carolina.- Just as bad.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I can smell a Southerner a mile off.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20A smell I don't like. Ungodly, slave-trading secessionists.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Not fit to live. Sorry we saved your hide.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28Well you did and I owe you, but don't make me forget that.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Listen to that talk. Just like a whip-lashing Reb.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35And a tinhorn to boot by your look.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Put that away, Zeff.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Wait for the war to start before fighting it.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I agree.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I'm Owen Pentecost. I'm on my way to Denver.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54So are we. I'm Stephen Kirby.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57This is Zeff Masterson.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I hired them to ride with me to Denver.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02They're taking orders from me.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06If you can take orders you can ride with us.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Yours to command, ma'am.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Forget it, Zeff.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20Aim your whiskers at Pike's Peak and keep them pointed that way.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47As soon as I find what I want, watch my belongings till tomorrow.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Then your job is done.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Those all your pretties,
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- all those packs, all those mules? - Not to wear, to sell.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- I'm opening a store. - Catering to ladies at the frontier?
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Why not? I know style, I've money. Took a chance on Denver women.
0:05:07 > 0:05:14Holy Jehosaphat! I've been riding shotgun on a load of lace drawers!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Good evening. I'm Father Murphy.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Church is over there. Mass tomorrow at six and nine.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28- Thank you. Crossing the Rockies is something to be thankful for. - I like to say thank you.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33I like to sleep late, but I'll gamble on anything, even church.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Toss a coin, Kirby.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Heads for the church. Tails for the devil.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Tails it is.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Care to make it two out of three? - No, thanks.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48The lady looks tired. Perhaps I can help you get settled.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02This is Phil, porter and room clerk.
0:06:02 > 0:06:08These folks just got in to town. Before they tell you, they call me Phil the Cannibal.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It was only once!
0:06:10 > 0:06:14A man eats something he shouldn't, they call him names!
0:06:14 > 0:06:20The lady wants a room with a bath. Hey, boys, a free leg show!
0:06:20 > 0:06:26Every gal oughta wear them pants! > There oughta be a law!
0:06:26 > 0:06:31They don't mean any harm. They used to make fun of my skirt.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I'll see you to your room, Anne.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39I paid you to see me across the Rockies. I can cross the room alone.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44No Southern chivalry, please, Mr Pentecost.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I heard the excitement.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07They sure are tight pants.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Must make you uncomfortable. Your wife?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- No.- Your girl?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14No.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17You thinking about staking a claim?
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- Will you sleep better tonight if I tell you? - Won't sleep at all, I just got up.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Time to go to work. Go ahead, tell me.
0:07:27 > 0:07:34We were travelling companions. To save you asking, so were two others.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38What's a man from dear old Dixieland doing out here?
0:07:38 > 0:07:43Most Southerners are leaving before the war starts.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47You must like to take chances.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- What's your name?- Owen Pentecost.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54High sounding name.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Guess maybe that's why you took it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I just heard you got back, Zeff.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25Folks are anxious to hear the news. Is there going to be a war?
0:08:25 > 0:08:32- Are we gonna fight or just talk? - There'd better be a war. The North won't stand for this.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I'm itching for the day we stamp out those slavers.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39It ain't natural, brother against brother.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Don't call that scum my brother! I had me a brother.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48He stood side by side with John Brown from Kansas.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51They hung him like a dog... alongside John Brown.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Stay away from him.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Nobody helps him. He's got it coming.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04He's one of those Missouri men. Half North, half South...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08..on the fence looking for the safe side.
0:09:08 > 0:09:14This ain't no soft war and there ain't no brothers just friends
0:09:14 > 0:09:15and enemies!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Every loyal man knows that's the truth.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20< Sure we do.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24You've won the round and the fight.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Zeff makes a lot of sense. We've a lot of enemies here.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36We don't wanna see your ugly face in town, so get moving.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- Stop shooting off your mouth and cracking heads.- They need cracking.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Sure they do, but at the right time.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Get them riled and they'll riot. Next thing it's the military.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Let 'em come. We'll start the war right here.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59I don't need soldiers. It took me a long time to get to run this town.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04- A good part of town's already in your pocket.- I got more pockets!
0:10:04 > 0:10:08I need time, then we take care of the army.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Boss, there's a new man inside, a Southerner.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16He's been putting a big dent in the faro bank.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I'll be right there.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Zeff, we're on the same side, only wait a little.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Might be a long war.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34What are you waiting for? Start the game.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Mr Pentecost, I'm Jumbo Means, proprietor.
0:10:38 > 0:10:44When I set out to see the world, some drunkard said, "The elephant's loose!"
0:10:44 > 0:10:47He immediately signed the pledge.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Since then an elephant's been my good luck charm.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Now, what is the secret of your remarkable luck?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57An indifference to elephants.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59One of us must be wrong.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Which one, Mr Pentecost? Shall we see?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- I'll pass the time with you. - I'll get a table ready.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Why are you so good to me?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I get a percentage of the profits.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Doin' all right, aren't you?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25There's room for improvement.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27For a smart girl?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29For a smart girl.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33And this is the spot, the best place in downtown Denver.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35You found elephants?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Trained ones. When they get wild they're dangerous.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45There's a man here from our part of the country.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Owen Pentecost. Are you acquainted?
0:11:48 > 0:11:54- No, but if he's from the South we'd like to welcome him. - We could use a friend. So few of us.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59I hope it'll be peaceful... Sunday morning, too.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Your luck still holds, sir. That's the second straight win. >
0:12:17 > 0:12:20You're not betting?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I don't think the hand's worth it.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31A pretty hand to throw away, but it can't beat four kings.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Yes, four kings, Mr Jumbo.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38I know your hand as well as you know mine.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Then you're cheating, sir.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Maybe you might call it that.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Marked cards, I can read them as well as you can.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Expect me to shut my eyes and lose my shirt?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Thanks, Pentecost. And he did have four kings.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Fast work. You're a useful man to know.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Southern trash. I'll run you all out.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10< Not With Lincoln in the White House. PIANO PLAYS "Union Forever"
0:13:12 > 0:13:14This is no put in of yours, Rogers.
0:13:14 > 0:13:20- You Northerners stick together, why shouldn't we? - PIANO PLAYS "Dixie"
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Name's Rogers, Pentecost. Robinson, Rollaston, all from Georgia.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31Heard of you, heard a great deal. We might have a lot to talk about.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Are you one of us?- I'm from Vermont.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Go back to Georgia, all of you.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Colorado will belong to us Union men,
0:13:39 > 0:13:44the only part coming to you is six foot down. PIANO PLAYS AGAIN
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Shut up with that music.
0:13:46 > 0:13:52- I guess you don't wanna hang around, Mr Pentecost. - His crowd is your borned enemies.
0:13:52 > 0:13:59- There are no flags on gold, North or South. I've got a poker game going.- Not with me, sir.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11Since you're a stranger here I'll give you another chance.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13A new deck...
0:14:13 > 0:14:15and an honest deal.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Anything you want,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19honest or dishonest.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Make it dealer's choice.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I don't trust that Pentecost one little bit.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Maybe we been judgin' him wrong. He's a Southerner born and bred...
0:14:33 > 0:14:37You ain't thinking of lettin' him snoop around the mine?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41He said he might have a lot to talk to us about.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46We know nothing about him, except that he's hobnobbing with Yankees.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50If he came alone he couldn't do no harm.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Might be nice to talk to a man from home.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58We got bad ones at home, too, and I'm a-bettin' he's one of them.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03One hundred.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07One hundred,...
0:15:08 > 0:15:11..and five hundred more.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Up two thousand.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Call.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Well, I'm done, finished. You've taken all my cash.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36But I intend to have it back, Mr Pentecost.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40All legitimately, I promise. Just one more hand.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42What are you betting? IOUs?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44No, the Circus Tent.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Bar, hotel, warehouse, stock, everything.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Everything against my own money.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57All right.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Call to you, five cards high.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Since I don't trust you any more than you trust me,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07shall we leave it to the lady to deal?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24First card to our guest.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Three eights.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Strong hand.
0:16:40 > 0:16:46Just in case you act disappointed if you don't draw the third queen.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51You get your queen, I'll put the gun away and you'll have your money.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00My last card, please.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10You asked me to deal.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11You lost.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Now, you either gotta pay up or get killed.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Yes, I lost, Mr Pentecost.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20But I'm not a loser.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Let her tell you that.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36That cheatin', no good woman.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42We're not dead. Across there would be a good place to open up again.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44What are you gonna use for money?
0:17:44 > 0:17:48There's plenty of patriotic money for a loyal man.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55All of a sudden you're drunk.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59I never show it till I relax. I'm very relaxed now.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Come here.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09You know something? Jumbo's right, that WAS a crooked deal.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14- But only the last card. - That was supposed to be another queen for Jumbo.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19- I saw you switch it.- I thought it'd be nice to be under new management.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Don't get relaxed just cos you're the new owner.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28And don't get too flattered that I slid a card from the bottom.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33- Men are awful quick to flatter themselves. - Sure, we're dogs. Unfeeling dogs.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- I wonder what a feeling dog is like. - Not like Jumbo.
0:18:37 > 0:18:43He did me out of a hunk of my cut. His books are a great work of fiction.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Sad fiction at that, I bet.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- I don't cry.- I can see you're not the crying kind.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Not that I haven't done my share.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Men?
0:18:53 > 0:18:59What else? All the way from Boston to San Francisco and back to Denver.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02But I always end up laughing.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Like now?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Like now, I think.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12- How do you know I won't give you a dirty deal?- I don't.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15But you gotta be better than Jumbo.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17And you look a whole lot better.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19HE LAUGHS
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Feel better, too.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25What are you doing so far from the old plantation?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29There was a little trouble. I took the blame.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- For something you didn't do?- Oh, I did it. That's why I took the blame.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Get out of here.
0:19:40 > 0:19:46- You shouldn't leave your door unlocked.- The lock's broken but this pistol isn't.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Didn't know this was your room, sort of stumpled against the door.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- I'm sleepy.- Well, then go to bed.
0:19:53 > 0:19:59Not too sleepy to see how different you look. Buckskin does a lot for you
0:19:59 > 0:20:03but silk does more. That little bit of silk much, much more.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07I'm in no mood for visitors, Mr Pentecost.
0:20:07 > 0:20:14- I'd hate to have to shoot you to prove it.- You're safe as if you're in your own room.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18I like that ribbon in your hair, makes you look sweet and feminine
0:20:18 > 0:20:21and pretty and feminine.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Very smooth and feminine.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29You make a good hotel man, Owen.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Just that nice personal touch to please the guest.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Hotel man?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- I'm the new proprietor. I won the place.- On a decision.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I wish you a good night.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Or a good morning,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47or a good afternoon, or a good whatever it is.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Jumbo's room.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02I'll have it fixed up, move out all the little elephants.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06No sense in doing it now, you'd only see more of them.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Well, if hair ribbons are your weakness, why didn't you say?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16HE SNORES GENTLY
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Rogers, come here.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50A HORSE APPROACHES
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Where's the head man?- He's comin'.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Call this Southern hospitality?
0:21:59 > 0:22:03You seem to prefer Yankees. What brings you here?
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- I've never seen 2 million in gold. - Neither have we.
0:22:07 > 0:22:15- That two million in gold you've taken out of the ground.- What gives you the notion that we have it?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Heard it in a saloon in Atlanta.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20You believed it? Some drunk blabbin'.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Why do you think I came out here?
0:22:23 > 0:22:30- 2 million in gold must be a purty sight to set your eyes on. - Maybe your hands, too.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- I'm trying to help. - We don't need help.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Let him talk, he's from home. What part?
0:22:36 > 0:22:41- North Carolina. - Almost as good as Georgia. Go ahead.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43You're in trouble.
0:22:43 > 0:22:49Mining for three years. Had plenty of chance to get away but you waited too long.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51War's coming any day now.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56When it does, Yankee troops are gonna get in your way. Unless...
0:22:56 > 0:22:58What? What can you do?
0:22:58 > 0:23:05There's a big warehouse belongs to the Circus Tent, got a lot of wagons there, strong ones.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Plenty of guns, food, for the long trip back.
0:23:09 > 0:23:15- Will you show me that gold?- Why? - I want 50,000 for what's in my warehouse.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19You dirty renegade. Sellin' out your country.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23I'm sellin' out my wagons in a respectable, profiteering way.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28The money isn't ours. Belongs to the South to fight the war.
0:23:28 > 0:23:34- They can have the rest of it. - For a minute I thought that you were a loyal man.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Sure I'm loyal.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Got an undying loyalty to myself and no-one else, nothing else.
0:23:43 > 0:23:49If you're thinking of shooting me, let me remind you that Jumbo Means is after the Circus Tent.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54When he gets it, where are you gonna get your wagons?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Waiting to hear from you.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58But think fast.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Where's Miss Boston?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Out in the warehouse.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23What's all this?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25An inventory.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28This is a list of everything you own.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Looks very official.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- You even signed your name. - I belong on that list, too.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38I don't like owning things, certainly not people.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43All you want is money for gambling, drinking, maybe travelling?
0:24:43 > 0:24:48I'm staying it takes two weeks to get your laundry in this town.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52If you get restless, this oughta pay your way to China or wherever.
0:24:52 > 0:24:58- What are these?- Mining claims Jumbo took in for a half a ham or a keg of whisky.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00They're yours.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- Any good?- Some, I guess. They haven't been worked much.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- Why?- Lots of reasons. Folks run out of money, turn lazy,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10get discouraged.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15Let's encourage them. This town needs a good old revival meeting.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- With you doing the preaching? - With me doing the preaching.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23I've got a sermon that'll fetch them a gospel of gold.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28- Talking about gold perks you up. - What's wrong with gold?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Especially in the colour of a woman's hair?
0:25:31 > 0:25:35I don't care about the colour of a girl's hair.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40As long as she has a reasonable amount, I don't complain.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44MEN CHATTER
0:25:57 > 0:26:01It'll be drinks on the house when I'm through talkin'.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03MEN SHOUT APPROVINGLY
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Let me tell you why I invited you.
0:26:07 > 0:26:13You're gamblers or you wouldn't be in Denver, so here's a game for everyone,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16North and South, friend or enemy.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19They've had enough of your gab, what's your game?
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I don't blame you for being suspicious, Mr Jumbo.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28I wouldn't be surprised if some cheating might not have gone on right here.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32That's why I'm moving this new game outside.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37It'll be the biggest gambling table you ever saw, reaching for miles.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42And big stakes. You can't lose, you might win, so listen to the lady.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Mining claims. Take your choice.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Gold in maybe all of them. Who's gonna be dealt in?
0:26:48 > 0:26:53There ain't no gold here. Your pals from Georgia got it all.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58There's plenty of gold, only it's not going to find you. You've got to dig it out.
0:26:58 > 0:27:04- I ain't even got a shovel or a pick. - He had to sell 'em to buy grub.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09I'll stake any man who wants to work to buy whatever he needs.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Wagon, warm clothes
0:27:11 > 0:27:15and a new dress for his wife in that new store.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20When anybody strikes gold, I want half and I'm gonna get half.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25No excuses, hard-luck stories, double crossing. Half is mine.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Who'll be the first to sign up?
0:27:28 > 0:27:35- Sign the paper and you get your money and your tools. - Gimme one o' them papers!
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- No, Lawford, he's a swindlin' Rebel. - I don't care, I'm busted.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43He'll rob you blind. Him and that cheatin' woman.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I know her like a book.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49You never got past the cover, elephant boy.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52MEN LAUGH MOCKINGLY
0:27:53 > 0:27:55What about you, Mr Kirby?
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Doesn't seem natural, you not interested in gold.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Peculiar you never talk about gold.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Everybody in Denver does, except Father Murphy.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Heaven's paved with gold, that's enough for him but what about you?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13If it's a secret, it's a secret.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Pick out a good one for me, Pentecost.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24So, now we're in the gold-mining business.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Chances are you'll end up with more lead than gold.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32- Do you wanna sell your percentage? - I'm hanging on to what I've got.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Sentimental value.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Owen...
0:28:36 > 0:28:40if there's a war, I'm North, a Yankee. You're South.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42What happens to us?
0:28:42 > 0:28:44I shoot you, I guess.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Oh!
0:29:03 > 0:29:09- Oh, good evening.- Can't let Denver's fashion centre open without celebrating.
0:29:09 > 0:29:15Only champagne in my warehouse. Bet it's the only one from here to San Francisco.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20- It's very neighbourly of you. - You're a special kind of neighbour.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22That's getting cold.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Takes a little longer to chill it in spring water.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29You're a strange man, Mr Pentecost.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33There are many things to admire in you,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35some to be afraid of.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Afraid of? What?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Well,...
0:29:39 > 0:29:44I don't think you'd ever give yourself the worst of it, with man or woman.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Ann, you are something special, a lady.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51It's the first thing I noticed, it's born in you.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- SHE GIGGLES - I'm glad you're positive about it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59A beautiful lady, high on her pedestal, so out of reach.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05See how simple it is, your ladyship?
0:30:05 > 0:30:10I prefer to come down from a pedestal under my own power.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13When you do, I'd like to be around.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15KNOCK ON DOOR
0:30:21 > 0:30:23It's the last of the stuff, Ann.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- First customer?- No, just looking.
0:30:26 > 0:30:32Before you put me to work alongside Kirby I'll say good night and good luck.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Enjoy the champagne, Kirby.
0:30:35 > 0:30:42- You're angry, Stephen, but you have no reason to be.- I hate to see another man taller in your eyes.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47- You're imagining things.- He's a new type for you, you're curious.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- There's no need to analyse my emotions,- Maybe there is.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Anyway, I...I have to leave now.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Good night, Ann.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00FOOTSTEPS
0:31:04 > 0:31:06KNOCK ON DOOR
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Come in.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Sir, Captain Kirby reporting to Colonel Gibson.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18Forget the salutes, my boy, till we put our uniforms on again.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23- How do you like secret service? - It's a change now I'm a gold-miner.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28And I'm a writer, my wife says I couldn't have picked a worse disguise.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33She thinks writers are depraved and romantic. She even wanted to help.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- Is Mrs Gibson coming, sir? - Good heavens, no.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42If Mrs Gibson has a fault, and she won't admit it, it's talking too much.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Anything from Washington, sir?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Nothing. The whole idea is crazy.
0:31:48 > 0:31:53We couldn't bring in troops. That'd be martial law and this is peacetime.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57But they order us to stop that gold going South.
0:31:57 > 0:32:04- If we don't they'll shoot it back as cannonballs.- I say start the war now and move the troops in.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08But Mr Lincoln is too namby-pamby for his job.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- They say the man prays. - He's a good Christian, I suppose.
0:32:12 > 0:32:17I'm a good Christian but praying's not gonna prevent this war.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21North and South are natural enemies like husband and wife.
0:32:21 > 0:32:26Oh, that young lady you were with today, I hope she's not inquisitive.
0:32:26 > 0:32:32Oh, no, she hired me as a guide at Fort Larame, never asks questions.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Mighty few of those left.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Nothing like a strong, silent woman.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Must be caused by an accident at birth, wouldn't you say?
0:32:41 > 0:32:46- I suppose you want to be getting along. Good night.- Good night.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Oh, yes.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53Forget what I said about Mr Lincoln. I'm praying to be a general.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- Good night, sir.- Good night.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01- Your servant, ma'am.- I'm afraid I'm in a hurry, Mr Pentecost.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06- Stephen has invited me to see his mine.- Our mine he and I are partners.
0:33:06 > 0:33:12- Nothing like lunch with a woman for a tired miner.- I'll tell him you said good appetite.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15I'm going that way, myself.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19If you don't mind, that is. Got a lot of partners to see.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04I get off here.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Wish Kirby good luck.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12I have enough lunch for three, if you'd care to join us.
0:34:12 > 0:34:17So I won't be lonely? Thank you. Mind waiting a minute?
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Howdy.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Glad to see you.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34- Hello, Lawford, how are things? - Well, not very good. That's a fact.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36All through for the day?
0:34:36 > 0:34:44- I'd be wasting my time putting any more work in this claim. - Maybe you're giving up too soon.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48I'm no greenhorn, I know when there's gold and when there ain't.
0:34:48 > 0:34:55Been prospecting more than two years, wife and kid in Michigan gave up on me,
0:34:55 > 0:35:00kinda hard writing them the next time's gonna be the lucky time.
0:35:00 > 0:35:06- Dig those ashes out of that hole, Lawford.- What for? There's nothing in there.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11- If there's nothing I'll pay you for your time.- I didn't make a strike.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Why'd you cover up the hole?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16No special reason.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26What did you hit down there?
0:35:26 > 0:35:30White quartz? Is that what you didn't want me to see?
0:35:30 > 0:35:35Easy, soft veins you can get at with a pick and shovel?
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Dig.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41I found it, struck over a week ago. I clawed gravel till my hands bled.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45What's mine is mine!
0:35:45 > 0:35:50- I got friends who wouldn't stand seeing me robbed by no secess'. - We made a deal.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54You ain't collecting nothing! GUNSHOTS
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I'm sorry you had to see it.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21He reached for his gun, so did I.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25And you won.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Would you rather it was the other way?
0:36:31 > 0:36:33I hate all killing.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39First thing to do is get the body back to town.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57MEN CHATTER
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Get away from there, you buzzards!
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- Who is it?- Keep your hands off!
0:37:17 > 0:37:19We brought him to you, father.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24- I don't know if he's one of yours. - What does that matter?
0:37:24 > 0:37:30Matters that Lawford is lying here dead. All your praying ain't gonna change that.
0:37:30 > 0:37:37- We got a way of dealing with murder. - Sure it's murder, Mr Jumbo? Mighty fast verdict.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40You can't talk your way out of this.
0:37:40 > 0:37:46- Hanging's too good for him. - Needs a whippin' with a whip that'd lay his back open.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48I knew she'd cause you trouble.
0:37:48 > 0:37:54Go riding with her and look what happens. She has her own man to do her killing.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58You're as bad as he is. Cheatin' trash, both of you!
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Be quiet. Have you no respect for the dead?
0:38:02 > 0:38:07Why be so quick to shed more blood? Bring him in the church.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Look out, Owen.
0:38:24 > 0:38:30That's the only one I'm wasting. Try that again, there'll be a lot more going to church.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34Before more get killed, let me tell you how it happened.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- WHISPERS: - I'll tell them. Self-defence is no crime.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43They'd never believe you, they'd try and hang you.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46I was with Owen Pentecost today, all day.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49We stopped by Jack Lawford's claim and...
0:38:49 > 0:38:51and found him dead.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54CROWD MURMURS
0:39:05 > 0:39:08CHILDREN SHOUT EXCITEDLY
0:39:12 > 0:39:14A DOG BARKS
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Here, here, here.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Keep out of this, let 'em fight fair and square.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33That round lasted long enough. What's this all about?
0:39:33 > 0:39:38- That kid got out of my coach and started fighting.- He started it.
0:39:38 > 0:39:45- I just asked if you knew where my father was.- And all I said was, "What's your old man's name?"
0:39:45 > 0:39:46All right.
0:39:46 > 0:39:54When I said "Jack Lawford" you laughed, said he might be one of two places. Then the other kids laughed.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59- That made me mad so I started swingin'.- Aw, you can't take a joke.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01- Your old man's dead.- That's enough.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Don't you talk that way to my boy.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Let's get away from here.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14He...He is dead,
0:40:14 > 0:40:16isn't he?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Yes.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24But I want you to know you're with friends. What's your name?
0:40:24 > 0:40:30Gary. Gary John Lawford, middle name's after my father. Did you know him?
0:40:30 > 0:40:31Yes.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35How...How did it happen?
0:40:35 > 0:40:41Well, let's get settled first and then we can talk. I'll take care of you.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43He's coming with me.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50- He'll stay with me.- How can he stay with you? You, of all people.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53How could you face him day after day?
0:40:53 > 0:41:00- Do you think room and board is going to make it up to him? - I'm handling this my own way.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06I didn't know about Jack Lawford. Musta died since my last trip.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Poor kid ain't got nobody, told me his mother died.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Some friends sent him out here.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Well, I guess it's time for a drink. I'm an orphan, too.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Get some soup, Phil, and some ham and eggs.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25- Yes, sir, soup's on the fire. - That all right, Gary?
0:41:25 > 0:41:27I guess so.
0:41:47 > 0:41:52This is all wrong, keeping him here with you, and you know it.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Or is this the way a gambler like you pays his debts?
0:42:00 > 0:42:04We'll make this a fine room for you, Gary.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06How did it happen?
0:42:06 > 0:42:08You can tell me, I won't cry.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12All right.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16He was killed in a gunfight.
0:42:16 > 0:42:21He did the best he knew but ran up against something he couldn't beat.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Who? Who was it?
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Who killed him?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28No-one has found out, yet, Gary.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Taste this, Gary, you'll feel better.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35I'm glad you're here, we're gonna be great friends.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38HE SOBS Don't be afraid to cry.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Even big men cry sometimes.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Eatin' time.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Thanks, Phil.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00Say, Miss Boston, is this answer right? Let me take a look.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Never make a mistake when I do that.
0:43:11 > 0:43:12Correct.
0:43:12 > 0:43:17How come you need all this learnin'? You a rich fella now.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21Mr Pentecost and I are partners, just like him and my father.
0:43:21 > 0:43:26Owen only has two of these, and now one of them's yours. Let's try it on.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35There.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47Spittin' image of the boss.
0:43:47 > 0:43:52That's right, Gary, be like him. Take it from someone who knows.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55CHILDREN SING TUNE OF "John Brown's Body"
0:43:55 > 0:43:59# Jack Lawford's body lies a-mouldering in the grave
0:43:59 > 0:44:02# Jack Lawford's body lies a-mouldering in the grave
0:44:02 > 0:44:05# And his son don't give a hang
0:44:06 > 0:44:09# Jack Lawford's body lies a-mouldering in the grave
0:44:09 > 0:44:13# Jack Lawford's body lies a-mouldering in the grave
0:44:13 > 0:44:18Don't bother with those boys, Gary, wait till Owen gets home.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21I don't need him. I'll shut them up myself.
0:44:21 > 0:44:26- Stop him, before he hurts somebody. - Let him crack a couple of heads.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28SINGING STOPS
0:44:28 > 0:44:31We ain't done nothing!
0:44:31 > 0:44:34What's the idea riding down these poor boys?
0:44:34 > 0:44:40If you have anything to say, don't hide behind kids. Sing it to me.
0:44:42 > 0:44:47- Go on back, Gary, concert's over. - This is my fight, not yours.
0:44:47 > 0:44:53- Milk's better for you. - You can have your bottle, I'm getting something better.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10You're all right. Learning fast.
0:45:10 > 0:45:11Mad at me?
0:45:11 > 0:45:13Yes.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15Well, no.
0:45:17 > 0:45:21You taught me how to ride teach me about this.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25How do you get it out so fast? Give anybody a shot but still win.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27That's what everyone says.
0:45:27 > 0:45:31Teach me how to work a gun like you do.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34Little young for guns. You're just a boy, Gary.
0:45:34 > 0:45:40Not if I can shoot like a man. Then I'll find out who killed my father.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42Isn't that what you'd do?
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Yes, that's what I'd do.
0:45:45 > 0:45:49I'm sorry I was mad at you, even for a little while.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52- Let's get started.- Where? - Your first lesson.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15Throw them as high as you can.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21GUNSHOT
0:46:21 > 0:46:24Gosh! You didn't even look.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26I looked.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41I don't see how you did it so fast.
0:46:41 > 0:46:47- You'd been standing in front of me you'd never have found out. - I'll never shoot like that.
0:46:47 > 0:46:53You wanted to learn? If I teach you, you will. Let's try it over here.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03More shots. They're coming from over there.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Now let's see you try it.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13Here, get used to the feel of it.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26Huh! What does he wanna do?
0:47:26 > 0:47:30- Make that boy everything he is himself?- What is he?
0:47:30 > 0:47:35- Outside of someone who interests you.- It's the boy I'm thinking of.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Straighten your arm.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39It's heavy.
0:47:39 > 0:47:43- But perfectly balanced. - It sure is heavy.
0:47:43 > 0:47:48- I'd like one I can handle.- No gun is a toy, it's meant to kill with.
0:47:48 > 0:47:54I can teach you to hit what you aim at, but I can't teach you to kill what you shoot at.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56Let's try it again.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00That's it.
0:48:00 > 0:48:05You're getting awfully worked up over a little shooting lesson. GUNSHOT
0:48:05 > 0:48:08With his own gun, that he's killed with.
0:48:08 > 0:48:13As far as I know he's killed a couple of Indians. Anybody else?
0:48:13 > 0:48:19- GUNSHOT - I don't know his record, but someone ought to teach him a lesson.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Oh, I wish I were a man.
0:48:21 > 0:48:27Sometimes I think it would be much easier for everyone concerned if you were.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35KNOCK ON DOOR
0:48:42 > 0:48:44KNOCK ON DOOR
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Come in. Please.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52Thanks for inviting me over.
0:48:53 > 0:48:57I'm afraid this isn't a social occasion.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59What is it, a bargain sale?
0:48:59 > 0:49:02I saw you and Gary this afternoon.
0:49:03 > 0:49:06I can't drive it from my mind.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09You're teaching that boy to shoot.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12To kill, to be a gunfighter like yourself.
0:49:12 > 0:49:19- Think I'm not bringing him up right?- Haven't you done enough to him, murdering his father?
0:49:20 > 0:49:22So it's murder now?
0:49:22 > 0:49:25- Next case.- What?
0:49:25 > 0:49:29Trial's over, your honour, you found me guilty, goodbye.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32You're guilty more than you think.
0:49:32 > 0:49:36I'll tell you why you're training that boy to use a gun.
0:49:36 > 0:49:42So the boy can save me the trouble of suicide, isn't that what you're thinking?
0:49:42 > 0:49:48It's on your mind, or you wouldn't say it. If you have a conscience.
0:49:48 > 0:49:52Or at the last minute will you be yourself and shoot the boy?
0:49:52 > 0:50:00You're quite a girl, Ann. Think nothing of toting petticoats across the Rockies. A real pioneer.
0:50:00 > 0:50:05- Is that sarcasm?- Compliment. Don't be so sure you can read my mind.
0:50:05 > 0:50:09- Or heart, too, for that matter. - I can read Gary's heart and mind.
0:50:09 > 0:50:13He loves you, worships you.
0:50:13 > 0:50:18- Then, one day, he'll find the truth. - I'll tell him when he's ready.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20And then how he'll hate you.
0:50:20 > 0:50:26He'll try to stop loving you until it nearly drives him crazy.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29That's what loving and hating someone can do.
0:50:29 > 0:50:32Are we still talking about the boy?
0:50:32 > 0:50:35Or is that your feeling, too?
0:50:35 > 0:50:38Don't try to put words in my mouth.
0:50:38 > 0:50:42Why not? Aren't you proud of hating me?
0:50:44 > 0:50:46Just ashamed of nearly loving you.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00Never did much talking about love.
0:51:00 > 0:51:04You don't know the meaning of the word.
0:51:04 > 0:51:08Got plenty of hate in you, don't know how much love.
0:51:08 > 0:51:12More than you know, but not for you. Not any more.
0:51:12 > 0:51:16- Nothing's over that fast.- Killer like you, everything dies fast.
0:51:16 > 0:51:21- I hate your hands on me...- Is that what makes your heart beat so fast?
0:51:21 > 0:51:24I never want to see you again.
0:51:24 > 0:51:28- I want to forget I ever knew you. - I'll make it easy for you.
0:51:47 > 0:51:51BUGLE PLAYS
0:51:58 > 0:52:01BAND PLAYS "John Brown's Body"
0:52:04 > 0:52:06We're with you, Abe Lincoln!
0:52:06 > 0:52:10- They won the battle but we'll win the war!- Remember John Brown!
0:52:14 > 0:52:17Clean up Denver, clean out the Rebels.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28The only good Rebel is a dead Rebel!
0:52:29 > 0:52:32Let's wipe out the South!
0:52:33 > 0:52:36Remember John Brown!
0:52:37 > 0:52:41We'll pull the Rebels off the map!
0:52:51 > 0:52:53CHILDREN CHANT
0:53:01 > 0:53:03Well, it's started.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05Fort Sumter surrendered.
0:53:05 > 0:53:08Won't last long, be over in 90 days.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11The Yanks back east have no stomach for war.
0:53:11 > 0:53:18You don't need a stomach, you just need a law, and guns and money, and Lincoln's got them.
0:53:18 > 0:53:22- You ain't a Yankee sympathiser, are you?- No.
0:53:22 > 0:53:28- Them men paradin' are your enemies, as well.- Your neighbours aren't your brothers tonight.
0:53:28 > 0:53:34- Better wait till it quiets down. - I knew you'd be on our side when the time came.
0:53:34 > 0:53:38- You belong to us, now. - I belong only to myself.
0:53:38 > 0:53:41I'm not joining any parade, yours or theirs.
0:53:41 > 0:53:45I like walking alone, no ties.
0:53:45 > 0:53:49Don't ask questions, don't answer.
0:53:51 > 0:53:54Man's gotta be sentimental to fight a war.
0:53:54 > 0:54:01Gotta have a lump in his throat about God and country and home and mother, all the pretty things.
0:54:01 > 0:54:03No lumps.
0:54:06 > 0:54:10- What are you going to do? - About the war?
0:54:10 > 0:54:14What any sensible man would do stay alive.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19Keep your paws off them guns, all of you!
0:54:19 > 0:54:23Now, Mr Gunslinger Pentecost, you buy the drinks
0:54:23 > 0:54:26so we can wish a long life to President Lincoln.
0:54:26 > 0:54:30You'll drink, or we'll pour it down your throat.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33And then we're gonna clean you out.
0:54:33 > 0:54:37We ain't harmin' the woman if she keeps out of the way.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40Unbuckle your gun belts and drop 'em.
0:54:40 > 0:54:44Maybe you'd rather take mine from me. You'd like that.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47I can't think of nothing I'd rather do.
0:54:47 > 0:54:51Except to cut you down with your own lead.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53GUNSHOT
0:54:57 > 0:54:59You shot your own man.
0:54:59 > 0:55:03The rest of you get out before somebody else gets killed.
0:55:03 > 0:55:07Maybe it'll be you. We still got you three to one.
0:55:07 > 0:55:13Maybe it'll be me, but if anybody wants to be sure of being alive, now's your chance.
0:55:13 > 0:55:15GUNSHOTS
0:55:31 > 0:55:33- My man's in there!- So's mine!
0:56:09 > 0:56:11GUNSHOT
0:56:11 > 0:56:13Don't worry, they missed me.
0:56:13 > 0:56:15Gary! Put that gun away!
0:56:15 > 0:56:17GUNSHOT
0:56:17 > 0:56:20I got him! I got him!
0:56:20 > 0:56:22Get the others!
0:56:22 > 0:56:25No! No!
0:56:25 > 0:56:27Stop it!
0:56:30 > 0:56:32CROWD MURMURS
0:56:32 > 0:56:34Are you all right?
0:57:08 > 0:57:10I'll be...
0:57:10 > 0:57:12back on my feet in no time.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14Sure you will.
0:57:16 > 0:57:21Oh, it's not bad, just a crease. Pretty close to the right place.
0:57:21 > 0:57:25See what happened to the doctor. I'll fetch him.
0:57:25 > 0:57:27Nothing but a twinge, it's OK.
0:57:27 > 0:57:33These Colts are exactly like mine, only I ain't gettin' the same results.
0:57:33 > 0:57:37Seein' you standin' by our side down there was quite a comfort.
0:57:37 > 0:57:39The way it should be.
0:57:39 > 0:57:44Don't be carried away, I was just trying to save my own skin.
0:57:44 > 0:57:50Can't you see he doesn't feel like talking? He's done enough for you.
0:57:52 > 0:57:54Hurt much?
0:57:56 > 0:58:00Knocked the wind...out of me for a while.
0:58:00 > 0:58:03I was too scared to cry downstairs, I...
0:58:03 > 0:58:07I thought I'd go crazy until I could see you breathing.
0:58:07 > 0:58:11When you opened your eyes and looked at me...
0:58:14 > 0:58:18I-I didn't mean to eavesdrop. Door was open, you know.
0:58:39 > 0:58:41Here's the doctor!
0:58:51 > 0:58:53Your very good health!
0:58:54 > 0:58:56Ahh!
0:58:57 > 0:59:01Epidemic's got you, too, eh? It's all my fault.
0:59:01 > 0:59:06Never woulda been hit if he hadn't tried to stop me from shooting.
0:59:07 > 0:59:11I guess he didn't want a gun in your hand, Gary.
0:59:13 > 0:59:17The kid needs more lessons, that's all.
0:59:18 > 0:59:22I'll have to keep you ladies out. Gotta undress our friend.
0:59:22 > 0:59:28Stay and help, young fella, I've delivered two babies and took out six bullets tonight.
0:59:33 > 0:59:39- Goodnight.- He'll get along better with one nurse than two.
0:59:40 > 0:59:45- If you feel that way.- You got a good idea how I feel about him.
0:59:45 > 0:59:49Enough of an idea to know you're in love with him.
0:59:49 > 0:59:54It's easy to tell. Just looking at me looking at him and you know it.
0:59:54 > 0:59:58Yes. Now, I hope you're satisfied.
0:59:58 > 1:00:01Don't try to be so superior.
1:00:01 > 1:00:04I wasn't even trying.
1:00:04 > 1:00:08All right, Miss High And Mighty, I can throw low punches, too.
1:00:08 > 1:00:14You're crazy about him, only you don't know how to love a man.
1:00:14 > 1:00:21- You'd like to believe that. - You wouldn't be happy unless you could change him all around.
1:00:21 > 1:00:24Loving a man isn't always storybook pretty,
1:00:24 > 1:00:29but that doesn't stop you loving him, no matter what he is.
1:00:29 > 1:00:31Can you do that? Can you?
1:00:36 > 1:00:41That's a one-way love. I'll give a man as much as you - everything,
1:00:41 > 1:00:45but it's got to work both ways.
1:00:45 > 1:00:48Yes, I love him,
1:00:50 > 1:00:53but I also pity him.
1:02:02 > 1:02:07All right, men. To our friends.
1:02:14 > 1:02:19If it ain't Mr Kirby. I never knew you was a soldier.
1:02:19 > 1:02:23Kind of had a feeling you might be army.
1:02:23 > 1:02:27Who thought this up? We were mourning our dead.
1:02:27 > 1:02:33Mourn your dead all you like, they don't rate these flags. Can't let you do that.
1:02:33 > 1:02:39These men weren't heroes, they were killed in a brawl, not a battle.
1:02:39 > 1:02:44We were avenging Fort Sumter. We were licked there, too.
1:02:44 > 1:02:47Civilians aren't supposed to wear army caps!
1:02:47 > 1:02:53I issued them. I've got friends back east, powerful friends.
1:02:53 > 1:03:00I don't care if you and the Secretary Of War are kin. You can't belittle his friends.
1:03:00 > 1:03:05You've got a suspicious friend giving aid to the enemy.
1:03:08 > 1:03:11You still a sergeant? No.
1:03:14 > 1:03:20Army regulations say sergeants are sacred, but not ex-sergeants.
1:03:20 > 1:03:24Martial law has been declared as of now.
1:03:24 > 1:03:30I could use 100 volunteers. Nobody in Denver carries guns unless he joins up.
1:03:30 > 1:03:34You need a quartermaster, ammunition, supplies, dry and wet.
1:03:34 > 1:03:38You've got the job, only I set the prices.
1:03:38 > 1:03:45The rest of us are going to keep order and prevent contraband from going out. That's gold.
1:03:45 > 1:03:48Rebel gold? That's right.
1:03:48 > 1:03:53Just so I won't hit you again, I'm making you top sergeant.
1:03:53 > 1:03:56I don't know that I want the job. I'll take it.
1:03:56 > 1:04:02What do you know about soldiering? Come on, make a double line.
1:04:02 > 1:04:04Don't you know what double means?!
1:04:04 > 1:04:09You had a hankering for war, now you're gonna get one!
1:04:09 > 1:04:14Stomachs in, chests out! Now you look a bit like soldiers!
1:04:15 > 1:04:17ATTENTION!
1:04:18 > 1:04:21All present and accounted for.
1:04:21 > 1:04:28Sergeant, as soon as we're finished here, post two sentries up at the Southerners' mines.
1:04:28 > 1:04:33Marv, that job's for you and Toby. Right, Sergeant. At ease.
1:04:33 > 1:04:41As soon as you take the oath, you can carry guns and rate flags on your coffins.
1:04:41 > 1:04:43Now, raise your right hand.
1:04:55 > 1:04:56BRANCH CRACKS
1:05:34 > 1:05:38Colonel Gibson, they got away, sir, gold and all.
1:05:38 > 1:05:42Marv and Toby are dead at the hands of them hellhounds.
1:05:42 > 1:05:47You're making a military report, not delivering an obituary.
1:05:47 > 1:05:52Marv seen them. They got about 20 men loaded with saddlebags of gold.
1:05:52 > 1:05:59They can't be far out of town. They're headed for the warehouse behind the Circus Tent.
1:05:59 > 1:06:05Nothing could be better. Got 'em all together. If only I had my own men.
1:06:05 > 1:06:09We don't need help if we fight for Abe Lincoln and John Brown.
1:06:09 > 1:06:14You didn't do too well by them at Pentecost's bar.
1:06:14 > 1:06:18- We were tricked. - So was Napoleon at Waterloo.
1:06:18 > 1:06:24- Assemble your men, surround the warehouse, I'll be over there directly.- Yes.
1:06:24 > 1:06:28Kirby...I have a special job for you.
1:06:30 > 1:06:35Sir, request permission to be in on this fight with Pentecost.
1:06:35 > 1:06:38That sounds more like a private fight.
1:06:38 > 1:06:41Well, it is, sir.
1:06:41 > 1:06:48Since our objective is to put Pentecost out of action, I can promise you an enthusiastic job.
1:06:48 > 1:06:54Sorry, Kirby. Now, these troopers must think they're on a sightseeing trip.
1:06:54 > 1:06:59You leave here at once, you should be able to meet them here.
1:06:59 > 1:07:05I don't know how many they'll have left after we clear out that warehouse, so take command.
1:07:05 > 1:07:07Yes, sir.
1:07:33 > 1:07:38You hadn't ought to be out of bed, you ain't healed good yet.
1:07:38 > 1:07:41I saw you let them in the warehouse.
1:07:41 > 1:07:47Don't you be mad at me and don't be mad at them neither. They wanna see you.
1:07:47 > 1:07:50Go to bed. I'll handle them.
1:07:50 > 1:07:54Might as well know, I'm joining up with them.
1:07:56 > 1:08:01- Why?- Cos I'm from Arkansas like some of Mr Rogers' men out there.
1:08:01 > 1:08:05I ain't saying I hate the Yanks, some are my friends,
1:08:05 > 1:08:11but when my folks start shootin' at their folks, I belong at home.
1:08:11 > 1:08:16It's a choice every man has to make, it isn't always easy.
1:08:16 > 1:08:20Way I see it, a man can't turn his back on his own people.
1:08:23 > 1:08:27All men aren't alike. It's always hard to be different.
1:08:27 > 1:08:31That don't mean it's always right to be different.
1:08:31 > 1:08:36Shucks, I don't know. I ain't got brains, I do what comes natural.
1:08:55 > 1:09:00We heard Yank troops were on their way. How about the wagons?
1:09:00 > 1:09:04There they are, get your men busy loading them.
1:09:04 > 1:09:08- We have things to talk about. - I don't think so.
1:09:08 > 1:09:11We could use your gun and that luck.
1:09:11 > 1:09:17And not forgetting your brains. It's not gonna be easy getting home.
1:09:17 > 1:09:21We're gonna have to be a lot smarter than I know how to be.
1:09:21 > 1:09:28We're miners not soldiers, we don't mind to fight, but we need a leader, a captain.
1:09:31 > 1:09:36- The sooner we get started the better.- You'll go with us?- Yes.
1:09:36 > 1:09:43We're not asking you to waste your time. We'll pay you 10,000, including your guns.
1:09:43 > 1:09:48If you're hiring my guns, they're worth more than that.
1:09:55 > 1:09:57Have a look.
1:10:00 > 1:10:06If you think you can get past them, go ahead. My price is 100,000.
1:10:08 > 1:10:15It ain't our gold to give away. If you weren't a Southerner, I wouldn't have you at all.
1:10:15 > 1:10:19- Blood's thicker than water. - Mine's more expensive.
1:10:25 > 1:10:27Owen.
1:10:28 > 1:10:32- I'm leaving with Rogers and his men. - Tonight?
1:10:32 > 1:10:33Yes.
1:10:33 > 1:10:38What made you change your mind? Did someone play Dixie?
1:10:38 > 1:10:41- Yes, someone did.- What about me?
1:10:41 > 1:10:46Circus Tent is yours and the gold in the safe, for you and Gary.
1:10:46 > 1:10:52I'm not talking about money. I cheated to get you, I'm not letting you go.
1:10:52 > 1:10:56Take me with you. I'll do anything, I'll wash, I'll cook.
1:10:56 > 1:10:59Don't leave me, Owen.
1:10:59 > 1:11:03Nobody else can go along, least of all a woman.
1:11:03 > 1:11:08If you wanna die, that's why you're going, because of her.
1:11:08 > 1:11:13I mind very much dying, it's not because of any woman.
1:11:13 > 1:11:16You'll forget me in a week.
1:11:16 > 1:11:20I'll remember you as long as I'll remember anything.
1:11:23 > 1:11:30- What are you doing up in the middle of the night?- I've been saddling up my horse. Ready to go?
1:11:30 > 1:11:34No, you're staying with Boston. You and she are partners now.
1:11:34 > 1:11:41No, you and I are partners all the way. You told me that the first day I got here.
1:11:41 > 1:11:47You made the boy a copy of you and now you wanna turn him loose.
1:11:47 > 1:11:54You can't walk out on people who love you. I'm a partner, too, every minute of all the way.
1:11:57 > 1:12:05You and Boston aren't Southerners. You wouldn't be welcome with the Rebels. They're calling us traitors.
1:12:05 > 1:12:12- If you're one, I wanna be one, too. - You're a Northerner, like your father and your people.
1:12:12 > 1:12:17My father's dead and you're the nearest thing I have to a father.
1:12:17 > 1:12:23- If he were alive, he'd want you to be on his side.- He's not alive, so I'm going with you.
1:12:25 > 1:12:28It's my fault he's not.
1:12:32 > 1:12:35I killed him.
1:12:39 > 1:12:42No, Owen. It isn't true, Gary.
1:12:42 > 1:12:48I told you he run up against something he couldn't beat. It was me.
1:12:48 > 1:12:53He never had a chance. Call it murder if you want to. Now you know.
1:13:10 > 1:13:15Go after him. Help him get over it. Promise me you will.
1:13:17 > 1:13:19Owen.
1:13:19 > 1:13:21Kiss me.
1:13:21 > 1:13:24Kiss me hard.
1:14:06 > 1:14:11What do you want? You looking for the boy? Have you seen him?
1:14:11 > 1:14:15He seemed anxious to get away. Anything wrong?
1:14:15 > 1:14:20Tell me where he is. If not, I've no time to be bothered with you.
1:14:20 > 1:14:23You're going to catch cold.
1:14:23 > 1:14:28You must have seen which way he went. He's over at my place.
1:14:30 > 1:14:33What's he doing over there?
1:14:39 > 1:14:43Wait a minute. How does he happen to be in your place?
1:14:43 > 1:14:49No mystery. I saw him heading for your warehouse,
1:14:49 > 1:14:57told him there was going to be shooting and no-one was allowed in the street except the military.
1:15:04 > 1:15:07All right.
1:15:10 > 1:15:15He won't come out, not tonight. He's got to come out.
1:15:24 > 1:15:31You tried locking me in a room once before. You're not fast enough on your feet - too fat!
1:15:33 > 1:15:39I don't like being called that, not by a woman, not by you.
1:15:42 > 1:15:46You fool! You silly, fat fool!
1:15:46 > 1:15:49You lost me the Circus Tent and you.
1:15:49 > 1:15:51You never had me!
1:15:51 > 1:15:54You didn't try to fight him off, did you?
1:15:54 > 1:15:59You're sick! Sick in your dirty, diseased mind!
1:15:59 > 1:16:03Many times I wanted to kill you when you were together.
1:16:08 > 1:16:15No! Jumbo, no! He's running away from me. He doesn't love me.
1:16:36 > 1:16:43This is Colonel Gibson. Any resistance will be hopeless, but I wanna avoid bloodshed.
1:16:43 > 1:16:47You will open those doors, come out unarmed,
1:16:47 > 1:16:51you will be treated fairly as military prisoners.
1:16:51 > 1:16:56You have two minutes, then I will lay siege to this building.
1:16:56 > 1:16:59MEN CHEER
1:17:08 > 1:17:13Go back, they'll lock you up, that's what they did to some others.
1:17:13 > 1:17:18- Gary, you shouldn't be here. - I had to watch, he's in here.
1:17:40 > 1:17:44A minute gone, a minute left.
1:19:14 > 1:19:17He got away!
1:19:19 > 1:19:23For a minute I wished he was dead, but I don't know.
1:19:26 > 1:19:31I've marked out where Captain Kirby is meeting the cavalry troop.
1:19:31 > 1:19:38- One of us is sure to get through. - The rest is in Kirby's hands. Now, off you go.
1:19:46 > 1:19:52Who goes there? I got orders for Captain Kirby.
1:20:15 > 1:20:20- I thought you wanted to keep a lookout till dawn. - Saw all I want.
1:20:20 > 1:20:24Cavalry the other side of that hill. Get the wagons to go.
1:20:24 > 1:20:30Too risky in the dark. They'd be sure to hear us.
1:20:30 > 1:20:35I want them to hear us. Switch the gold around so I've got two empty wagons.
1:20:35 > 1:20:41Wait here till you hear the cavalry and then off you go that way.
1:20:41 > 1:20:45- Suppose you don't fool 'em. - Then you're in trouble.
1:20:45 > 1:20:48I want to start before the Yankees are awake.
1:20:48 > 1:20:54They catch up with one of us, find the wagon empty, the other man saves himself.
1:20:54 > 1:21:01Yep, if that happens to be you, you'll find your 100,000 waiting for you in Atlanta.
1:21:01 > 1:21:05You can deduct for the wagon and team I'm driving.
1:21:05 > 1:21:09I ought to feel free to treat it like it belongs to me.
1:21:09 > 1:21:14- You're still working with us? - I pay for what I get.
1:21:14 > 1:21:21I figure it's worth, let's see, make it an even 100,000.
1:21:21 > 1:21:24- A whole 100,000? - Can't pick up bargains in the wild.
1:21:24 > 1:21:27That's generous of you.
1:21:27 > 1:21:32- It just goes to show...- Shut up about it before I change my mind.
1:21:53 > 1:21:57- Get the men mounted.- Mount up, boys.
1:23:31 > 1:23:34Two men take care of him!
1:23:42 > 1:23:46Take six men and go after that wagon.
1:23:46 > 1:23:50The rest of you men, spread out over that hill!
1:24:38 > 1:24:43I didn't know it was you I was following in here. Where's Rogers?
1:24:46 > 1:24:53They won't get far. There's only one way to go and I can travel twice as fast as they can.
1:24:53 > 1:24:59There's more than one way out. You'll never catch them. You've lost, Kirby.
1:24:59 > 1:25:03I've been looking forward to seeing you alone.
1:25:03 > 1:25:07I've often wondered if I could shoot a man in cold blood.
1:25:07 > 1:25:14The betting'd be ten to one against. You can't play form on a man with a gun if he's riled up.
1:25:14 > 1:25:21- I'm riled up enough and do you know why?- You're a professional soldier, so it must be a woman.
1:25:21 > 1:25:25Don't be so light-hearted about it.
1:25:25 > 1:25:30You've always been after Ann, but I thought everything was open,
1:25:30 > 1:25:36- but when Masterson blurted out that you and she...- There was never anything like that.
1:25:36 > 1:25:41Ann's not for me. I might have thought different once, not any more.
1:25:41 > 1:25:47- It's easy to talk, twice as easy to lie.- Don't I know it.
1:25:47 > 1:25:51But I guess this is a time to tell the truth.
1:25:51 > 1:25:54Tell it to myself as much as to you.
1:25:54 > 1:25:59There are two people in the whole world I need and want.
1:25:59 > 1:26:04One of them, I can't ever have - Gary.
1:26:04 > 1:26:07The other one is not Ann.
1:26:09 > 1:26:11- Boston?- Yes.
1:26:13 > 1:26:18Since you're going back to Denver and I'm not, tell her...
1:26:20 > 1:26:28Love is a word that never came easy to me, Kirby, but it does now. Tell her that.
1:26:38 > 1:26:41Can you walk four miles?
1:26:41 > 1:26:46The stagecoach for Santa Fe passes by over that way.
1:26:48 > 1:26:51Might be hot walking.
1:26:53 > 1:27:01- What's it going to be - Colonel Pentecost?- Just plain Private, so a salute's coming to you.
1:27:08 > 1:27:13We've lost him. No use wasting any more time around here.
