(Train whistle blowing)

(Engine chugging)

(Theme music playing)

(Horse neighing)

(Ringing bell)

Ben! Mr. Calhoun.

Where is everybody,
where's the crew?

We're here. All three of us.

What was it an Indian
attack? Typhoid? What?

Worse. Gold.

There's been a strike
up at antelope peak.

Half the crew quit
right on the spot.

The other half sat around and
thought it over for a day and then quit.

They're all up there at
antelope peak, digging for gold.

I'm sorry Ben, when that
order came in to my sa office,

I couldn't lie, it was
gold, high grade.

The whole town
is talking about it.

I tried to hire a new crew but
there isn't an able bodied man

left inside a day's ride.

Well, then make
it a two day ride.

Pay whatever is necessary,
but get a crew of men up there

and get that bridge
fixed across devil's gorge.

Now I want to rebalance
every rough spot on this land

and fool that army
ship that comes through.

What army ship?

Supplies, from fort
Riley to fort defiance.

After a week's talking, I
finally convinced the army

to let the bps&d do the hauling.

If we do a good
job, there's a chance

we can haul all the supplies
to the army in this territory.

Boss, that's great.

It is, provided I
can do the things

that I guaranteed
them we could do.

That's giving them
good, fast service

and a look at the fastest
growing railroad in the west.

Not this graveyard.

I'm sorry Ben, I
had to tell the truth.

You could've whispered it.

All right Dave, get out
of here and get us a crew.

Now, what's the shortest
route up to antelope peak?

I'll show you.

Barnabas, as of
now, you're in charge.

I'll find us a crew, Ben even
if I have to Shanghai 'em.

If they can breathe,
you hire 'em.

Straight up this trail, Ben.

Very neatly done, Mr. Jonas.

Oh, I didn't like it much.

I count Ben Calhoun
a good friend of mine.

But $500...

Buys a great deal of friendship.

Yes? (Chuckles) Yeah.

Pay him Mr. Kellam.

Yes, sir, Mr. Ross.

It should be an
interesting journey

for Ben Calhoun.

(Exhales) Very good. Very good.

Oh yeah? Just perfect.

The town's empty. Everybody's out
chasing gold. My business is ruined.

And when I do get a
customer, he buys milk.

Ja, milk is very
good for your health.

Standing all day
in saloon is not.

You come work
on my logging crew,

and in six months, six months

you will grow muscles.

I don't need muscles
to count my money.

Look, money is just
no good for a sick man.

What you need is exercise.

Huh?

I'm getting all the
exercise I need.

My swamper, my
bartender, my two girls quit.

I'll tell you one thing,
if I ever run across

that dang fool who spread
those gold strike rumors,

I'll shoot him.

Nils: We'll both shoot him.

Nils!

Hello, Dave.

You too? Yeah.

You drinking?

Yeah, Sam, a small beer.

That figures. (Both chuckle)

Nils, I've covered every
farm, ranch and town

between here and the railroad.

Have you got any ideas? No.

I have to shut
down business too.

Yeah. No loggers.

Here you are. Nobody
here but me either. Thanks.

All my helps gone too.

Say...

I need a man to spot me
behind the bar would you...

Oh, no.

Wait a minute, you don't
have any bartenders?

And you don't have
any loggers, huh?

Gentlemen,

I have a reasonable
proposition to offer you.

Odd man hires the other two.

Dave, you sound
just like Ben Calhoun.

Uh-huh, he's contagious.
Well, how about it?

Ah, with the amount
of business that I got

I can do it all
myself just fine.

All right, how about
you nils? (Chuckles)

You're going to make first class
logger, Dave. And I will show you.

One flip, you call.

Heads.

Tails. Aha!

When can you start? Tomorrow.

I will be at your camp early.

Oh.

(Chuckles)

You are boss now Dave,

you pay.

Goodbye Sam.

Dave: See you tomorrow nils.

I don't know whether
the bps&d can afford it.

See a dime for the beer
and nickel for his milk.

Unless you like to go hog
wild and have two beers.

Sam, you find me a work crew and I'll
buy every drink you have here in the house.

Including coal oil
and horse liniment.

Uh, kings port?

Oh, no, I've tried it.

Uh, bricks junction?

(Scoffs) Bricks junction?

Population was down to a
blind man and a small boy,

and when I left, they were
both heading for antelope peak.

Well, I've ran out of places.

Yeah, and I've run
out of time. Thanks.

(Horses galloping)

Customers.

(Chuckling)

Bring out your private
stock, mister, we're thirsty.

Where are you boys from?

Texas,

just trailed a herd
into Cheyenne.

I'm heading back home now.

Then you haven't heard
the word about... Aw!

Sorry, Sam.

Heard about what?

All about the great
opportunities up here

for able bodied men.

Right, Sam?

Your men sure are in luck.

You've come to the right
place at the right time.

Well last time I
heard that kind of talk,

I got my pocket picked.

(Chuckles)

What are you pushing?

Uh, well, i'm, uh...

I'm pushing on a sleeper
for the bps&d railroad.

Oh, I'm Dave tarrant,

chief engineer and I'm hiring.

Well, we ain't railroaders.

And that's where
the luck comes in,

you see I'm ready to
pay you while you learn.

Pay how much?

Five dollars a day plus found.

Well now we might
be interested but,

you have to talk to our trail
boss first. He's coming in now.

Good day sir.

(People cheering and
shouting at a distance)

Good evening.

Anything I can
do for you mister...

Calhoun, Ben Calhoun.

I'm looking for a group
of railroad workers.

Up here? Yeah.

They thought they could get rich

a little quicker this way.

I see a lot of men,

they come and go up here.

Well, they'd all be in a group.

A big fellow with the name of Mike
connolly would be bossing them around.

Well, they may have come in.

Name doesn't mean anything.

Everybody is a
stranger in this town.

Just arriving and not
planning on settling down.

You can ask about your men
over there at the antelope house.

How long have you been
around here marshal?

I'm one of the
earliest settlers,

still alive.

And you haven't noticed a
bunch of railroad workers?

I only notice the trouble
makers, Mr. Calhoun.

But I'll ask around
about your men.

Thank you.

I'll be at the antelope house.

(Upbeat piano music playing)

(People cheering and
shouting at a distance)

Good evening.

It's improving.

You're new, you're
hunting for gold?

No, men.

Well that would be the
marshal's department.

But fair warning,
he's good at it.

I'm not hunting for
them with a gun.

I'm hunting for
my railroad crew.

They'll be all in a group,

and a big fellow, Mike connolly,
he'd be out in front of them.

Try the Henderson
mine, a mile south of here.

Thank you.

I'll take your gear for you.

You work here?

In a way.

Thank you, I'll be back soon.

I'm sure you will.

So that's Ben Calhoun?

Where's he going?

The mine.

You told him?

Why not? He's gonna find
out sooner or later anyway.

Well, I'd be happier
if it was later.

Mr. Ross hired me to keep Ben
Calhoun here in any way I choose.

He's paying you to handle a gun,

not me.

If you say, alix.

But if you can't keep
Calhoun here, I will.

Not by shooting him?

Well, maybe I am.

Leach is at the mine and
he won't shoot Calhoun.

But he sure is gonna
discourage him.

(Whip cracking)

(Whip cracking)

Hold it mister, this
is private property.

I don't want to see the mine. I
want to see the men working inside.

Nobody goes in there.

Well, I am.

(Whip cracking)

Now get up,

get inside.

Mr. Calhoun.

Boys, boys, it's Calhoun.

It's Calhoun, boys.

Tell them to throw
down their guns.

Drop them.

Now get the leg
irons off of those men.

They're prisoners.

And you're five seconds
away from being a dead man.

Calhoun, behind you.

These men were
found guilty by court.

They're legally imprisoned.

Slavery is illegal.

In a mining camp,
there's no court of law.

Now get the leg
irons off of those men,

and get them cleaned up and fed.

And if I say no?

Then I'll take the keys.

Connolly!

I'm very ready.

Well, I wouldn't want you
to break the law, Calhoun.

Where will I find the
owner of this mine?

Back in town.

You've got an unusual taste
in bracelets, miss Henderson.

I, uh, explained that
you own the mine, alix.

Yes, I own a mine
and a supply business

where your men ran up
debts they couldn't pay.

So you had them
arrested, that's alright.

This is another thing.

A couple tried to get away.

The leg irons were to
prevent them from escaping

and the whip...

I didn't know about the whip.

Leach? Then fire leach.

I'm sorry Mr. Calhoun,

will you sit down and accept
my apology and a drink?

Thank you.

And I'll have the
leg irons removed.

They're already removed.

And Mr. Calhoun's men are
getting washed-up and fed.

(Chuckles)

You've been busy,
you need that drink.

Rye, bourbon,

or do you prefer
your liquor mixed?

Jack of all trades,
are you, marshal?

Master of one.

Bourbon.

I'd like a glass of
Sherry, also please.

How much money do
these men owe you?

Could you bring me my ledger?

You're a strange
man to own a railroad.

I thought railroad
presidents were fat old men,

that sat around, counting the money
they made off of orphans and widows.

The railroad keeps
me quite busy,

and I don't make a living
off of widows or orphans.

We're a long way from
supply centers Mr. Calhoun,

and transportation
costs are high.

I think under the circumstances,

since I owe you so much
money, you can call me Ben.

All right, Ben.

$50 for a five pound
sack of potatoes?

They're very
nourishing potatoes.

They'd have to be.

These men were robbed blind.

Your men weren't robbed blind, they
were robbed with their eyes wide open

and dreaming of gold.

Which you seem to
have found, right here.

Not until you pay me.

Price too steep?

(Chuckles) I own a railroad,
not the United States mint.

What are you gonna
do about your crew?

I would let them work it off.

You're leaving, Mr. Calhoun?

Unless you have some objections.

Oh, Ben, is this the way to
end a business conference?

I'm willing to
meet you half way.

Where is that?

Oh, my room, dinner, champagne.

I'll give you time to
bathe and change first.

I had a room prepared for
you and your clean shirt laid out.

How did you know
I had a clean shirt?

I searched your saddlebags,

occasionally I am unscrupulous.

(Chuckles)

You say you had champagne?

Alix: On ice.

Even on a warm night?

On a warm night, the
ice sometimes melts.

And what will the
temperature be tonight?

Very warm.

There's the big one.

Don't worry about him.

And remember, nobody makes a
move until I'm ready, gentlemen.

(Horses neighing)

Well, speak of the devil.

A mean looking bunch of heads.

It's good to see them.

Oh, yeah.

I'd just about given
up on you, Mr. Ross.

I said we'd be here.

Well, it appears you do
need help, Mr. Tarrant.

When can you start?

At once.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Why is it no man alive
knows how to tie a tie?

That's why. Mm...

Let's start all over
again. Don't tempt me.

I'm in a hurry.

We haven't settled
anything about your men.

I'm going to give
you $1500 in cash,

and a note for $3500,

due and payable, when I
get to the bank in scalplock.

(Laughs) That's not even
half. That's the best I can do.

Why, it's not good enough.

Maybe I'd better start
all over. (Chuckles)

That's strictly between
you and me, Ben.

I admit to being
fond of you but, um...

I'm no lady.

I gave up being sentimental
a few mistakes back.

I, um, I like your style
but I like your money.

And speaking to the
president of the bps&d railroad,

you'll have to better the deal.

(Chuckles)

You're thoroughly unscrupulous.

But it's refreshing.

I'll give it some thought.

Might go out to check on my men.

Take your time.

I, um...

Might not buy your deal but
I like the way you negotiate.

(Chuckles)

(Sighs)

Expensive taste.

I knew you when a glass
of cheap beer was a treat.

And I knew you when
you didn't enjoy whips.

And leg irons.

It worked, didn't it?

It brought Calhoun here.

(Chuckles) Yes and I delayed.

(Laughs)

Maybe you're right, maybe
we're both just the same.

Two nice people.

Mr. Ross didn't
hire us to be nice.

Where is Calhoun going now?

Went to see his men.

He looks over them
like a mother hen.

Yeah, well, he needs them.

But remember, he can't have
them, not for another two days.

Yes.

I'll keep bargaining with him.

Ben will stay in antelope peak.

Ben?

Don't get too friendly with him.

Mr. Ross paid me $5000

to decoy Ben Calhoun.

I'm not forgetting that.

Well, you just
remember the rest of it.

We sullied those claims,

started the story
about the gold strike,

fixed this place up,
hired you, all of it...

Just to get Ben
Calhoun and his men

away from the railroad, up here.

I know what's at stake.

Oh, no you don't.

When Mr. Ross gambles this much,

he wants everything
to go real smooth.

That's why I'm here.

Galt, I made a deal, but
nobody was to get hurt.

You made a deal
and you're in it now.

Ben Calhoun is not gonna
ride out of here. I guarantee that.

No! Oh, yes!

And if you interfere, it's
gonna happen right now.

There's a dozen
ways to kill a man, alix.

But the surest and
the fastest is with a gun.

Where do you want these?

Nils: Over here.

Go get spike handle.

It is not straight.

Nils: Mister?

You come with me.

Where we going, Swede?

To work.

Go ahead.

First we pick up tire.

What do you mean, we?

(Laughs)

Where do you want it, Swede?

Over there on roadbed.

Mister.

I tell you to put tire
over there. Huh?

I don't work for a man unless
he can do more than I can.

(Chuckles)

(Grunts)

(Chuckles)

Now...

You put tire over there, huh?

Oh, no, I don't see no
need for a man to do it,

when there is a mule handy.

You want trouble, huh?

I'm handing out trouble.

(Grunting)

(Grunting)

You know that white boy
got hurt, I better stop him.

Uh, not quite yet, Mr. Tarrant.

Humility is a valuable asset.

And I look forward
to Ferris acquiring it.

Come on little man.

The mule is waiting.

(Panting)

Like I say...

You put tire, over there,
on rail roadbed, huh?

(Panting)

Little man.

That will do.

Ferris.

Back to work.

(Cocking gun) Everybody.

Oh-oh, but, Mr. Ross,
it was only a fight.

Well, maybe a fight and a half.

True, but I don't
want Ferris damaged.

He's useful.

I think, uh, we should
have a little talk,

Mr. Tarrant. (Hammers clanging)

Inside.

Style.

I like style, Mr. Tarrant.

In a man...

Or a woman.

(Chuckles)

Things like this.

Yes, I believe, I'm going
to like it here, Mr. Tarrant.

You said you wanted to talk.

Oh, yes.

I'll make it short, Mr. Tarrant.

I'm in charge here now...

Until tomorrow.

Why?

Why?

I might give you
several reasons.

Money, wealth, a fortune.

In any case, a sum sufficient
to make me very eager.

So eager indeed that I must
ask for complete obedience.

From yourself...

And your companions.

And if we don't cooperate?

At the first sign of trouble,

I kill the boy.

Then the big Swede.

Then yourself.

Don't make trouble, Mr. Tarrant.

You noticed my men were lazy.

They hate to dig graves.

You mean, you want
to gamble for your men.

I can't buy them back,
maybe I can win them back.

Hmm... What game?

Poker.

Against any house
player you name.

Me.

(Chuckles)

That would be something.

Mm. Don't fool yourself.

I'm fond of you, Ben Calhoun.

But when I play
poker, it's for blood.

Are you putting your railroad
up as security, Mr. Calhoun?

Only a piece of it.

To back whatever money I need

beyond the $1500.

Your men worth that much?

They are to me, I need 'em.

You mean they need you.

You can pick up a crew
of pick handlers anywhere.

What makes these men so special?

Just one thing, gault.

They work for me.

You have titles to your
railroad, Mr. Calhoun?

Ben: Not with me.

But I'll give you a
note if it's all right.

Alix: Of course.

Cut.

This is to be a two handed game.

Mr. Gault will
deal for both of us.

House rules.

House rules.

Your choice, draw or stud?

Leave it up to the lady.

Stud.

Queen will bet...

50 dollars. Call.

Who runs your railroad,
while you're up here?

I'll bet you 100 more.

It's a young fellow by
the name of Dave tarrant.

Chief construction engineer.

He owns 3%.

I'll call your 100
and raise 100.

Nice to have a
man you can trust.

Call and raise you 200.

Aces, huh?

I am a trusting man by nature.

That's why we're
using your deck.

Call.

Gault: Nines.

Pair of nines that's 300.

I'll call.

Well...

That's a pretty little card.

Bet your nines.

Five hundred.

I'll see your 500...

And raise you...

250...

And $8.

Call.

Three sevens.

Not good enough.

You need some cash, Ben?

Why do it in bits and pieces?

I'll play you one hand.

Twenty five percent of my
railroad against everything you own.

Well, now, that's big gamble.

And I want to win it all.

Plus, I want to win
some information.

What?

What did you pay Jonas,

to spread the rumor of gold?

I don't know any Jonas.

The game is on
the table, Calhoun.

Then deal it.

One hand straight through.

Rumor of a gold strike, it is.

Like a forest fire, it
spreads very quickly.

Well, everybody
up here is full grown.

They all have the right
to what they believe.

You believe there is
gold at antelope peak?

Miss Henderson
owns a mine, Calhoun.

Miss Henderson holds a hole
in the ground, nothing more.

Then why are you willing to
gamble so much of your railroad

against my gold mine?

Your worthless
gold mine, you mean.

(Scoffs)

The samples of ore
I saw in that mine

wouldn't even make a good
low grade balance for a roadbed.

Oh, why this game Ben?

Cause I'm a gambler.

I want to get it
over with quickly.

And it appears to be over.

What does that mean?

It means that miss Henderson
and I are now partners in the railroad.

Aren't you gonna
look at your hole card?

It's not necessary.

Your hole card is
the important one.

Play your hand.

You made it look
good on the table, gault.

But 3 tens don't
beat 3 aces, do they?

Well, I always said it pays
to have an ace in the hole.

You're wrong, Ben.

Your hand's good. You win.

I fold.

You can't.

It's my hand and I'll
play it my way, gault.

Well, then I'll play mine.

And don't you be a fool, gault.

I've had a gun on you since
you sat down at this table.

You're bluffing? Am I?

Then call that bluff.

Get your hand away from the gun.

Either get it away or use it!

All right.

Now who paid you to keep
me and my men up here?

A man named Mr. Ross.

It's the army shipment, Ben.

Alix.

For just a load of supplies?

Supplies?

You don't even know what
your railroad's carrying?

Well, I'd be interested
in finding out.

Sure.

It's too late for you
to do anything now.

Mr. Ross is gonna have
it all wrapped up tonight.

It's a payroll, Calhoun.

Six months, payroll.

And all the financial
department funds for Ford Butler.

Quarter of a million dollars.

Now I understand.

Mr. Ross paid me $5000 to
get you and your men up here

and keep you up here.

He's the man in charge.

He bribed an army clerk and
found out about the shipment.

He's down at your camp
now waiting for the train

and there is nothing
you can do about it.

It's too late, Ben.

I'm sorry.

Gault: Relax, Calhoun.

Tomorrow night, you and your
men can go on back and no trouble.

It's the army's
money, not yours.

Except that I'm responsible
for whatever travels on that train.

Bad hand, marshal.

You should have played it.

My gun's still in here.

Ben! (Gun shot)

Ben, be careful.

(Train whistle blowing)

How about ten
minutes away, I'd say.

Ten minutes and $250,000.

It'll aid us and pay with your
hands, does it, Mr. Tarrant?

As far as a gun in it.

You see, you've a puritan
sense of righteousness.

(Train whistle blowing)

Ferris, you stay with the Swede.

The rest of you spread
out and start looking busy.

Let's go, Swede.

(Train chugging)

I'd like to prepare
for any eventuality.

That's a big payroll, Mr. Ross.

There's bound to
be a military escort.

No, Mr. Tarrant.

The army gambled on secrecy.

Two men in the
baggage car. That's all.

You understand the
situation, don't you?

You flag the engine.

One wrong move on
your part and Mr. Tarrant

and the Swede get
a bullet in the head.

Yes, sir.

(Train chugging)

We'll watch from
here, Mr. Tarrant.

(Train whistle blowing)

Get out.

(Grunts)

Murder, Mr. Ross? Kellam!

Take him out.

Only when it's necessary.

I presume you know how
to run this train, Mr. Tarrant?

You might get away with the
payroll, but you can't steal a train.

Can't I, Mr. Tarrant?

There's an abandoned spur
five miles past dawn's crossing,

and a man waiting
there to switch us on to it.

Fresh horses waiting
at the end of the spur.

By the time anyone finds your
train, Mr. Tarrant, we will be in Mexico.

You have ten seconds.

I'll need a fireman.

Very good, Mr. Tarrant.

The Swede likes to work.

Ferris.

See that the Swede keeps a
hot fire going in that fire box.

The rest of you ride
in the passenger car.

We'll take the private car, too.

I might as well ride in style.

Mr. Tarrant.

(Train whistle blowing)

You'll make an excellent
bartender, barnabas.

I may even let you
come with us to Mexico.

Ah! Very dapper, kellam.

Now, take that outside and
keep the other men alert.

Another half hour,

we'll reach the
end of this spur.

Right.

(Train whistle blowing)

It's a danger signal.

It's the old riverton spur.

But that goes
nowhere, Mr. Calhoun.

They haven't stolen a payroll, they've
stolen the whole confounded train.

I could go back and
fetch the other men.

There's no time for that.

By the time we get
back they'll be gone.

Let's go around this way.

(Spurs horse)

(Train whistle blowing)

What's all that tooting for?

To clear the tracks.

You never know
what's ahead of you.

Well, you just keep her rolling.

Get your back into it, Swede.

(Whispering)

You just keep that fire going.

(Train whistle blowing)

That's enough of that.

(Horse neighing)

(Train chugging)

(Grunting)

Hey, hold it.

(Brakes screech)

Where's barnabas?

Your car.

(Gun shot)

(Gun shot)

All right, hold it.

Now, drop it.

(Grunting)

Oh, no boy...

I need you.

Move.

Hold it.

Calhoun.

Gault failed?

Gault's dead.

I'm delighted to hear it.

The best laid plans...

Well, you have your train,

the army payroll is intact.

Shall we call it quits?

Not quite.

You didn't buy tickets
for you or any of your men.

You owe the bps&d
a lot of money.

Good point.

But then I have
something of value to trade.

Don't let him bluff you, boss.

You also got a man
right behind you.

Oh?

And where would he drop from?

(Cocking gun) Hands all up!

(Gun shot)

Best laid plans...

Ben Calhoun, open up in there!

You all right? Yes, sir.

What're you doing here?
What's all this shooting about?

Well, we were just celebrating.

Celebrating what?

Well, celebrating our railroad
getting back on schedule.

Now, you get back on duty.

Yes, sir.

How'd you get tangled
up with that bunch?

Well... believe it or
not Ben. I hired them.

Come along now. Keep moving.

Keep pushing, or it's
back to the mine, you go.

Step along then.

Put up there. Come on now.

Connolly: Move
along, move along.

All right, step back.

Let's go back for the other one.

Where you going Ben?

Vacation.

Hey, when will you be back?

When the champagne runs out.

Toast, Mr. Tarrant?

To your good health, Mr. Rogers.

Thank you.

I had a vacation once.

It sure didn't look like that.
