All language subtitles for Montana Belle (1952)_Eng

Looks like the Daltons got company.

Woman.

Ah, those injun eyes of yours.
It is woman.

Squaw. Only trouble
come with squaw.

I've had some times with 'em I
wouldn't exactly call trouble.

What you suppose they want
to bring a woman here for?

Could be several answers
to that question.

Boys, this is Belle Starr.

My brothers Emmett, Ben.

This is Mac.
Howdy.

And Ringo.
He owns the place.

You don't mind one
more, do you, Ringo?

He don't mind.

What's her play, Bob?

Law had her, Emmett.

Mob in Rawhide
was gonna lynch her.

Mac, you and Ringo give me a
hand with these cuffs, will you?

Come down here, Belle.

Ain't we got our hands full
enough without Sam Starr's wife?

She ain't his wife any longer.
She's his widow.

What happened to Sam?

They killed him this morning.
Gunfight up at his place.

I told Bob it wasn't his
business, but you know Bob.

He'd have tried it alone.
He wouldn't have had a chance.

What else could I do but
put in with him? Nothin'.

That does it.

Thanks.

Come on in the cabin.
I'll get ya somethin' for those wrists.

Bob.

Are you a Dalton too?

[ Scoffs ]
No, ma'am.

What are you gonna do with her?
Haven't figured that out yet.

Let her stay here for a while, I guess.
Did ya kill any of the posse?

Just nicked 'em. That's all.
Did they know you're a Dalton?

One of 'em did. Grat downed him.
Why didn't ya stop to think?

They never stop
to think of nothin'.

You know they're gonna turn the
Oklahoma Territory upside down?

Just as we lay low to let things die
down, you pull something like this.

Now, look. Grat can tell ya.
They were gonna string her up.

It was still none of your business.
I made it my business.

I don't like the idea of anybody
swingin' from the end of a rope.

Yeah. 'Specially when
it's a pretty girl.

Yeah. 'specially when
it's a pretty girl.

[ Knocking ]
Come in.

- Hello, Tom.
- Well, Matt Towner.

What brings you to Guthrie?
You.

Me? Sit down.

What could the bankers' protective
association want with me?

We carry the insurance
policies on most of the

banks in Kansas,
Arkansas and the territories.

Oh. Every time a bank is
robbed, it costs us money.

A lot of 'em are being robbed.

It's costing us a half a million
dollars a year. We don't like that.

Half a million. Won't take many years
of that to put you out of business.

We'll be out of business before you
know it, unless the Daltons are caught.

That's what I'm doing here. You're a
decent citizen, Tom. You always have been.

Wouldn't you like to see
the Daltons caught?

Sure, but that's your job
or the U.S. Marshal's.

We're doing the best we can,
but it's not good enough. But you, now...

Everybody in the territories
knows you. You have friends.

You hear things... things
a lawman doesn't hear.

If anybody can get
these men, you can.

We're willing to make a deal with you.
What kind of a deal?

$25,000 for the Daltons.
[ Chuckles ]

Come here, Matt.
I want to show you something.

I've got 25,000.
That's quite a pile.

I always keep about 50,000 on
hand in case of emergencies.

It's a wonder the Daltons
haven't visited you.

I don't noise it around how well
I'm doing here. Maybe you ought to.

Maybe getting the Daltons wouldn't
be as big a job as you think.

How high will you go?
All right, Tom. I won't bargain with you.

I told 'em you'd be expensive.

I'm authorized
to offer you $100,000.

10,000 now...
[ Clears throat ] Yeah.

It's a deal.

I can't stand much more of this.

[ Horse approaching ]

That horse... barefoot.
Maybe Indian. I go see.

[ Speaking Indian dialect ]

All right. Was Running Elk from Agency.

Running Elk say Pete Bivin want meet you...

Tomorrow afternoon,
soldier fort.

Pete say tell you
he got something.

Maybe Pete has got something besides
the itch. Tell him I'll be there.

[ Speaking Indian dialect ]

I'm going to bed.

Night.
Good night.

Let her alone.

I'm gonna get a pail of water, Bob.
The water can wait.

I can't.
I'm gonna get it now.

Bob, stop it.

[ Chuckles ]
Cut it out, both of ya.

Ain't you ever gonna get
tired of being a widow?

[ Scoffs ]
If I do, I'll let the ladder down.

[ Door slams ]
[ Chuckles ]

I told you to leave her alone.

That's funny.
I can't hear nothin' you tell me.

[ Blows landing, grunting ]

[ Whinnies ]

[ Whinnying continues ]

What's goin' on here?
Get over there!

Only trouble come with squaw.

You hotheaded fool.
You would bring that woman here.

[ Shouts ] Hey, Pete! [ Grunts ]

[ Laughs ] Oh!
Ain't there any peace in the world?

Hello, Emmett. How are ya, Pete?
How's the tradin' business?

I'm just scratchin' the surface.
Why don't you take a bath?

What's the use?
A man just gets dirty all over again.

[ Coughs ] I see
runnin' elk got to ya.

Yeah, last night.
What do ya want to powwow about, Pete?

I just figured that with every bank in
the territory crawlin' with guards that...

Maybe you boys were lookin' for
somethin' easy for a change.

Like what, for instance? There's a place
in Guthrie just bustin' with double eagles.

What place?
[ Spits ]

Not so fast, Emmett.
What about me?

If it works out all right,
you get $1,000 like you always do.

That's different.
What place in Guthrie?

The Bird Cage.

Tom Bradfield's doin' so much business,
he ain't got room for his money.

Don't trust a bank... afraid them
Dalton brothers will stick it up.

[ Chuckles ] Keeps it in
a safe in his back room.

How much money?
There oughta be a lot of it.

I'll say that if you got there
Saturday night around midnight,

it should be good
for $50,000 or better.

It's just like shootin' fish in a barrel.
Here. I'll show you.

Sounds good.

Now, here's the Bird Cage.
There's three steps up to the front porch,

then there's swingin' doors,
great big ones.

Bar's over against this wall,

gamblin' room here,
and the office with the safe in it's here.

Safe?
How do we get it open?

I think we can induce Tom
Bradfield to open it for us.

That's rough,
but it gives you an idea.

I'll draw it out on paper later.
We can go over it again.

Pete says if we hit this
place Saturday night

about midnight,
it oughta be pretty big.

Maybe 50,000.
Saturday night?

It's apt to be crowded, ain't it?
So much the better.

Do we use Mac and Ringo on this?
We can handle this ourselves.

Then we're going up to Yellow Deer's
place, up near the Pawnee Nation.

It'll be a little quieter there.
What's this, the new hideout?

That's right.
Pete Bivins is gonna fix it for us.

You mean, we're leaving here?
That's right.

Why?
It's been decided.

First I heard about it.

We didn't want to say nothin' till
we were sure. Now that we got a job...

You talked about it before you were sure.
How come I wasn't included?

You had somethin' else
on your mind, remember?

[ Huffs ] You're cutting off
your nose to spite your face.

If you don't like Belle
here, tell Ringo and Mac.

It won't be safe if we kick her out. Could
tip off the law, make a deal for herself.

It's all settled, Bob.
We're movin' up near the Pawnee Nation.

We're movin' tomorrow so we can be there by
sundown. We'd like to have you go with us,

but that's up to you.

You move someplace,
and I move with ya.

You'd better forget about me. You'll only
get in more trouble with your brothers.

Stop thinkin' about my brothers.
Think about me.

Why should I?
You figure I oughta be grateful

to you for gettin'
me away from the law.

Well, I didn't ask you to do it.

I'm not asking you to be grateful, Belle.
I'm asking you to love me.

No, thanks.
I was married to one outlaw.

The last payoff's always the same.
Boot hill.

- Oh, hello, Pete.
- Hello, Mr. Bradfield.

How was your trip?
I saw Emmett Dalton.

And?
They're comin'.

When? I recollect you and
I made a deal about that.

I've already paid you $250.

Well, that was for tryin',
but this time is sure as shootin'.

How much are the Daltons
paying you?

Well, now. Fifteen hundred?

I'll double it, if it comes off.
That's what I wanted to hear.

Tom Bradfield's word's just as
good as his bond. [ Knocks ]

When are they coming?

I suggested Saturday night.

I recollect they'll probably come
"tricolatin'" in here around midnight.

Good. Here.
Break the seal for a change.

Well. Now, ain't
that handsome?

Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Got about a week more here. That's all.

Just one thing: Don't let on to my
brothers that I mentioned coming back here.

When we leave, act like it's permanent.
You can do that? Sure.

Only thing is, I don't like leaving
you here with Mac and Ringo.

I can handle them. Just take care of
yourself. Don't go gettin' shot up.

No bullet's gonna get me, Belle.

I'll live to be an old man and die
in bed with you holding my hand.

That's right. They don't need no help.
They're big boys. The Dalton gang.

Every time anything important comes
up, they can handle it by themselves.

Except... place.

Cool off. Not worry.
No can handle.

Come to us.
We pay our way, don't we?

When come back,
pay more. Lot more.

Where is all this jawing gettin' us?
Let's get movin'.

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshots ]

I never did cotton much
to a rifle anyhow.

I'm a six-shooter man myself.

That's mighty pretty shootin', Belle.
No want her shoot at me.

[ Chuckles ]
Watch this.

Hmm. Good thing you got us men around in
case there's any shootin' to get done.

Combs, we could ride
these hills for a year and

still never find Belle
Starr and the Daltons.

I'll find 'em if it takes five years.
All right. Have it your own way.

- [ Horse galloping ]
- Hey.

What do you make of that?

Ah, looks like an Indian.

[ Speaking Indian dialect ]

You savvy his lingo? Yeah, cherokee. Says
there's a white woman beyond the creek.

Is he sure it's a white woman?
[ Speaking Indian dialect ]

Belle Starr. Says she's young, beautiful.
Thinks it's Belle Starr.

Maybe we better take a look-see.
You bet we'll

take a look-see.
Tell him to lead the way.

[ Speaking Indian dialect ]

Mac! Ringo!

There's a dozen men
comin' up the hill.

Saddle up, Ringo.
I'll hold 'em off.

Back to your horses, men!

[ Whinnies ]

There's a fork ahead. You take the
hill trail. I'll take the other one.

Meet us at Jim Clark's place, Absaroka.
Jim Clark. Absaroka.

I hate to believe that about them.
It could have been just bad luck, you know.

Not bad luck.
Bad talk from Dalton.

Ringo's place was as safe as your mother's
arms until one day after they leave.

Was it found
by one man? Oh, no.

A dozen gun-hungry deputies who knew what
they wanted and just where to find it.

I only want to live long enough
to meet the Daltons one more time.

We'll talk it over in the smoke.

If I knew what this job of theirs
is, I'd say, "let's beat 'em to it."

I know what it is.

So Bob did tell you, huh?
He told me.

Belle, are you certain in your own mind
the Daltons tipped off Ringo's place?

It had to be.

When they pulled out, they were mad.
They didn't have any love for Mac or Ringo,

and 'specially me.

That settles it as far as I'm concerned.
Let's have it, Belle.

It's the Bird Cage in Guthrie...
A gambling house.

I know the place.
Tom Bradfield runs it.

They're taking it at midnight, Saturday.
[ Chuckles ]

That's just half an hour after we take it.
Wait! Ringo not like.

Ringo not like what?
Working with woman?

Maybe Ringo wrong.

You look like squaw.

Ride, shoot like man.

[ Chuckles ] Jim,
dig us up some blue bandanas...

Make 'em think
we're the Daltons.

You'd better find some
men's clothes for me, then.

Baldy, you take your
men and cover the north

end of town.
Frank, you take the south end.

Baldy, I got ten dollars
says I get the first Dalton.

Make it 20, and it's a bet.
Good luck, boys!

I hope Tom Bradfield's got the right dope
on the Daltons coming in around midnight.

♪♪ [ Piano ]

Check your gun, mister.
Rule of the house.

There's your check.

[ Hoofbeats approaching ]

Back up against the wall. All of ya!
♪♪ [ Stops ]

Turn around.

[ Man ]
It's the Daltons! It's the Dalton gang!

Keep them faces to the wall.

Tellers, take out that cash.

Stick 'em up!

You men back there!
Get on your feet! Face the wall.

- Fill it up.
- Fill it up.

Get away from the bar
and turn around!

Fill it.

You Tom Bradfield?
Yes.

Get in your office
and open up that safe.

Ben, you're gonna handle the horses. Grat,
you and Bob take the tables and the bar.

I'll handle the safe.

There's the Dalton gang.
Let 'em have it, men! [ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshots ]

Let's go.
Keep 'em up.

Anybody move...

If it weren't for your goldarn house
rules, I'd have had ma gun!

[ Gunshot ] Give me a hand here, somebody.
Ed Davis been hurt bad.

What about the Daltons? You know what
chance we have catching them now.

Let's get him
over to Doc Kenny's.

There it is. 2,100. 2,100?

It's all we got.
You said 50,000.

In the safe, yes. We'd have got it
if the Daltons hadn't-a showed up.

Let's split it,
and you be on your way.

Keep your shirt on. We'll get goin'
as soon as we figure out where to go.

My place no good
for hideout now.

I'm not gonna hide out. The law's not gonna
make me run from hole to hole like a rat,

and they're not gonna try me
for any killin' I didn't do.

Pretty big job for a woman
fightin' the law single-handed.

Why single-handed?

Why can't we go into
business for ourselves?

[ Scoffs ]
What kind of business?

[ Sniffs ]
We got any choice?

[ Chuckles ]
Belle Starr gang.

[ Laughs ] That oughta rile up
the big boys... the Dalton gang.

[ Pete ]
Whoa! Well, now, whoa!

[ Spits ]
Hey, you Daltons!

It's that double-crossing
fathead, Pete Bivins.

I'll handle him.

Well, now, if you boys ain't the one.
That's as slick a trick as I ever did see.

That's the way experts do a job of work.
Yeah, experts.

How much did you get?
That ain't funny, Pete.

Well, now, I ain't aimin'
to be funny.

Or I ain't aimin' to be talked
out of my share neither.

How much did ya get? Got shot out of town.
That's what we got.

Well, now,
there was some shootin'.

That was after you took the bar
and the gamblin' tables.

In case you don't know it,
I was in the place.

I was standin' at the bar when
you fellas come rammin' in there

and scooped up the money.

[ Giggles ] That was as slick
a trick as I ever did see.

What I'm aimin'
to find out is...

How much did ya get?

Enough so you get a little.
Here. Well, now. Thanks.

Well, now. That ain't
no king's "handsome,"

but as my pa always said,
"somethin' is better than nothin'."

Well, now, I gotta
be gettin' back.

Yah!
Well, now. Giddap!

What did ya give him that money for?
Keeps him on our side.

You told Belle we were
takin' the Bird Cage.

I dropped a word or two.
I never thought... you never think!

She beat us there. We keep her from
gettin' strung up. She double-crosses us.

She didn't do it. It was Mac.
Same thing, isn't it?

No, it ain't the same thing!
Belle Starr's no outlaw.

Listen to this.

"In the opinion of many, Belle Starr
and the Daltons are working together...

In the largest
crime combine on record."

Belle Starr and the Daltons
working together.

And here we sit. Hidin' out while she
stirs up a whole territory against us.

Why don't you go
out and stop her?

Why don't you?
She's your woman, ain't she?

Or is she Mac's?

Maybe that's something
I oughta find out.

It's all right.

[ Man ] Mrs. Winters? Yes.

We've been expecting you.
I'll show you to your room. Thank you.

Right this way, please.

[ Knocking ]

Come in.

Where do you want this thing, Belle?
Just put it there any place.

Boy, is that somethin'.
You like it?

[ Chuckles ] The man who
wouldn't is a sheepherder.

Did you get fixed up for
rooms all right? Uh-huh.

We went out and had a look around the town.
Look better at night.

Ringo, you're not on the reservation now.
Watch how you talk.

Try it again.
It look better at night.

[ Chuckles ] She'll have you
spoutin' poetry before you know it.

Ringo, don't you dare
sit on that dress!

Belle, aren't you takin' an
awful chance in this thing?

What if someone from
rawhide should spot you?

Nonsense. In this wig and getup,
do I look like Belle Starr from rawhide?

No. I guess you're safe enough at that.
New feathers sure do change a woman.

Why we... why have we
got to wear monkey suit?

You button that collar
and tie that tie.

You have to wear these
so we can go into the

Bird Cage without anyone
getting suspicious.

You two get out of here,
because I'm gonna get into something...

That'll make Tom Bradfield
sit up and take notice.

[ Chuckles ]
Come on.

I don't like these
monkey suits either, Ringo.

You belive Belle Starr's
working with the Daltons?

Probably working against them.

Daltons are too smart
to tie up with a woman.

[ Wolf whistles ]

How do you do, ma'am? How do you do?
You must be Mr. Tom Bradfield.

That's right.
My name is Lucy Winters.

My pleasure, miss winters.
Mrs.

Oh. We've heard a lot
about you in Montana.

Montana?
Yes, I come from there.

My husband and I had
a small place in butte.

I tried to run it myself after Richard
died, but it was just too much for a woman.

I can understand that.
So I sold the business and came out here.

My, you really have a nice place.
Would you like to look around?

Yes, I'd love to.
Good.

Do you permit women to gamble
here, Mr. Bradfield?

Anybody with a dollar can gamble
here, Mrs. Winters.

Well, I have a dollar.
What's your favorite game?

Blackjack. If you'd like,
I'll take your dollar.

All right.
Get me a fresh deck, Joe.

Here you are.
Thank you.

What'll it be, gents?
Rye.

Let's start with 50.

There ya are, Mrs. Winters.
Fifty dollars' worth.

You must feel lucky.
I do.

How... does it stand now?

Bradfield just broke 21 3
times straight for 500 a throw.

She's lettin' it ride.

Luck like that not hold.

All right, pain-in-the-face.
Wait till it breaks

before you start the death
chant, will ya?

I'll stand.
Well, I need help.

That settles that.

My compliments, Mrs. Winters. You've
won $25,000 in little less than an hour.

I think that's enough
for one afternoon.

Drinks are on the house, gentlemen.
Go ahead and collect 'em.

Mind if I call you Montana?

After all, Mrs. Winters
sounds rather formal.

Calling a beautiful woman by a
name that particularly suits her...

Isn't very much to ask
for 25,000, is it?

No, it isn't.
Please do call me Montana.

There was a lot of luck connected
with winning that 25,000.

Yes, and there was a lot of knowing
when not to crowd your hand.

Maybe you'd better hire me
to deal Blackjack for you.

I have a better proposition than that.
How would you like to be a partner?

Half interest for your 25,000.

Are you serious?
I am.

You can be a lot of use to me.

Well, that's life for you.
I came in here to ask you for a job.

I used to sing in our place.

Buy a half interest and
hire yourself as a singer.

It's a deal. Good. Then we might
as well announce it right now.

Gentlemen,
your attention a moment.

I'd like to present my new partner
and half owner of the Bird Cage,

Lucy Winters of Montana.

Now, Montana of the Bird Cage.

Good for you, Tom.
Good luck, Montana!

How 'bout another on the house? Oh,
gentlemen, this time the drinks are on me.

Oh!
That's a pleasure.

May I take you to the hotel? Oh, no.
You're busy here. I'll see you about 8:00.

You must be plumb loco to take half
interest in that dump 'stead of the 25,000.

Keep your shirt on, Mac.
The 25,000 is still in the safe.

There's plenty more with it.
Looks like it's gonna stay right there.

I don't savvy.
What don't you savvy, Ringo?

What we get
out of half interest.

For one thing, we get the
sweetest little hideout on record.

[ Mac ] Hideout?
That's what I said. Hideout.

Who's gonna figure that Tom Bradfield's
blond partner and the two new men...

Are the Belle Starr gang?

What new men?
You and Mac, of course.

You are loco.
She's not, I am.

You worked for me in Montana.
That's why you're with me now.

As half owner, I put you to work for me.
You as a dealer, and you as a lookout.

From now on,
we operate from the Bird Cage.

Maybe she not loco.

Thanks, stranger. Suppose we sit down
over here. You can tell me about it.

Well, you sure look like that
gilded Lily you were singin' about.

- What do you want?
- Shh!

If'n a man was to tell you where
Bob Dalton was... I'm busy now, Pete.

See me later.
Later might be too late.

Where is he?
Well, now, for $1,000...

500.

Well, 500... all right, all right.
Where is he?

Right out there gabbin' with montany.
Are you sure?

I'm so sure, I'm certain.

I'll go out this way.

All I want to do
is meet Mr. Bradfield.

Why, it would be downright bad manners if
I pulled out now, without sayin' howdy.

I know what you want to do to him.
Then let me get it done.

Where is Bradfield?
I'm Bradfield.

So you're Tom Bradfield, eh?
Yes.

It's the rule of the house to
check guns with the bartender.

I never obey rules.
I'll have to ask you to leave.

Maybe I don't want to leave.
The jail's right next door.

I don't like jails. I'll leave.
Why don't you show me to the door.

That'll be my pleasure.

Ever meet a man you
couldn't cotton to? A man

you'd like to whip
till he can't stand up?

Frequently. Why?

You shouldn't have done
that, Mr. Bradfield.

[ Gunshots ]

Mr. Bradfield isn't armed, stranger.
Let's keep this fight even.

All right, Mr. Bradfield.
Your lady friend called the turn.

Looks like you're having quite a
party, Tom. Who is this fella?

He's Bob Dalton.
By jingo, it is Bob Dalton!

Thanks, lady, for everything.
I'll try and do the same for you sometime.

Lock him up!

I'll take that.

That was pretty fancy shooting, Montana.
Thanks. It was nothing, Tom. I...

If I had known he was Bob
Dalton, I'd have folded up.

Now, now. That's no way to behave.
You want these?

Give 'em to Montana as souvenirs.
Put them in my dressing room.

You're in no condition to work tonight.
Let me take you to the hotel.

No, Tom. I'll be all right.

I'll just change my clothes and run along.
Thanks. 'Kay.

Find Mac and bring
him to the hotel.

He's much too nice to kill.

Hey! Take it easy, will ya?
Hold still. You're not gonna die.

You've got a job to do tonight.
We takin' the Bird Cage?

No. We're getting Bob
Dalton out of jail.

Oh, we are, are we? Yes, we are.

The Daltons owe us a grudge,
and the Daltons pay off.

Bob told me so when
I shot his guns away.

I want him out of jail before he talks.
And after he's out of jail?

You and Ringo can have him.
He won't talk.

[ Sighs ] How we
gonna crack the jail?

I'll tell you that later.
Ringo, you go and get Jim.

Bring him back here, and then
you and Mac change your clothes.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Showdown, Belle.

It's time you and me
had one. Sit down.

What about?

About a lot of things.
Name a few.

About comin' back here to take
the Bird Cage, for one thing.

We've been here for three weeks,
and what's happened? Nothin'.

But I didn't know how wonderful
it was to have nice clothes,

clean sheets on the bed,

more hot water than you can use.

If you're on the level, why don't we take
the Bird Cage now and get out of here?

Because I'm not ready to,
and when I am, I'll let you know.

I'm still doing the
thinking for this outfit.

All right,
but let's get one thing straight.

I see you goin' soft on Tom Bradfield,
and I'll burn you both down.

With lead. And I'll get him first,
so you can see what it looks like.

You're making an awful
fuss over one little kiss.

You're old enough to know that
that's the way a smart woman works.

Now, go on. Get outta here.

Where are your brothers?
I don't know.

That's ten times you've
asked me that question

and ten times I told
you I don't know.

It's the only answer
you're gonna get.

You know, you might make yourself a good
deal if you did tell us where they are.

I don't make deals.

Where's Belle Starr?
She's...

She's with my brothers,
and I don't know where they are.

Lock him up!

And don't take
your eyes off him.

Wherever those Dalton brothers are, they'll
be coming after him, and I want them to.

You want them to? Certainly.
Then we get the whole Dalton gang.

Good idea.

Hey!

Hey, you fellas!

If you got any fire equipment,
you better get it to rollin'.

Miller's barn's
got itself on fire.

- [ Bell clanging ] - Hey! Get out there,
folks! Miller's barn's about to burn.

Bucket brigade! Bucket brigade!
Fall in. There's a barn burning.

Come on!
Come on.

[ Clanging continues ]

[ Bell ringing ]

Stay here with me. I'm not taking
any chances with Bob Dalton.

All clear.

Don't draw.

Keys.

Over there.

[ Keys clatter in lock ]

Inside.

Yah!

Help, somebody! Come in here!
Open this door!

Fine deputy you
turned out to be.

Sittin' there readin' a newspaper.
You're under arrest.

I don't get you, Belle.
Knockin' my guns off that way.

If you'd-a shot Tom Bradfield,
they'd have strung you up right there.

Now you figure I oughta be grateful to
you, huh? We're square.

You got me away from the law.
I did the same for you.

The slate's clean. That's a cute way
of figurin' after crossing us up...

On the Bird Cage job,
nearly getting us all killed.

You got a cute way of figurin' too,
sending that posse out to Ringo's.

Posse? What are you talkin'
about, posse?

I went back to Ringo's to get
you, like I promised.

The place was burned down. Nothing but
ashes. Who do you think burned it down?

Me? I'm telling you we
didn't send a posse up there.

We Daltons wouldn't send
a posse after anybody.

Then how did they find us
one day after you left?

Anybody do any huntin'?
Shootin'?

That was it.
It must have been.

Mac and I did some target shooting.
Somebody must have heard us.

No use talkin', Tom.
I'm gettin' old.

It's quite an accomplishment
for a man to grow old...

In this country,
especially with the Daltons around.

They got a lot of nerve,
pulling a thing like that.

If they did it.
What do you mean "if"?

I'll let you know.

Well, now. I think I'll have another.
[ Giggles ]

How long do I stay
holed up here?

When the excitement dies
down, Mac and Ringo

will come back and
ride you out of town.

Hmm. That oughta be
quite a ride for me.

[ Knocking ] Who is it?

Tom Bradfield. Just a minute.

Come in, Tom. Hello, Montana.

I, uh... I thought you might be worried
about all that commotion down there.

Yes. I was asleep. It woke me up.
What was it all about?

Bob Dalton got away.
No.

Seems his brothers rescued him.
They set fire

to the livery stable
to draw off the crowd,

and then they stuck up the jail.

There's just no limit to what those
Daltons'll do. Will you sit down?

No. No, thanks. I won't wait.
I, uh... I'm afraid it might not be safe.

Not safe?

Didn't anyone ever tell you
you're a very dangerous woman?

[ Chuckles ] Is that
supposed to be a compliment?

It isn't every woman that can hide her
crowning glory and still remain beautiful.

[ Chuckles ] Them's mighty pretty words.
I have a proposition for you.

Proposition? How about a ride in
the country? Nice out there now.

Indian summer. We'll take a basket
and have a good, old-fashioned picnic.

Proposition accepted.
Make it soon.

We will. Good night, Montana.
Good night, Tom.

That smooth-talkin' dude.
Someday, I'll knock his head off.

You tried that tonight.
You can't go for him, Belle.

What about that promise to go to California
with me? No, Bob. I'm staying here.

What? You're sitting on dynamite.
Somebody'll spot you, sure.

I'm sorry. I've got some
unfinished business in Guthrie.

You think Tom Bradfield will stick to
you when he finds out you're Belle Starr?

Tom Bradfield means nothing to me.
When I finish my business

here, I'm leaving without him.

Come with me, Belle.
I'll get you everything you want.

Just think. California. Loaded with
soft touches just waitin' for us.

Come on, Dalton. We got your horse down
below. We had the Daltons all wrong.

They didn't send that posse out to Ringo's.
That what he told you?

No. It's true. Someone must've
heard us target shooting that day.

I was afraid of that.

I want you boys to see that he gets
out of town. We'll see to that.

And safe. If anything happens to
him, you'd better not come back here.

He'll be safe... this time.
Come on, Romeo.

Wait.

Thanks. If you ever need
me, get in touch with

Yellow Deer's place
near the Pawnee Nation.

Hiya, Tom.

Hello, Tom.
Good to see ya, Matt.

I was just going to tell Mr. Rideout about
your scheme for trapping the Daltons.

But it should come from you.
Go ahead. Well, you see, jeptha,

heretofore, about a million dollars
annually has been paid out...

Through half a dozen banks
for government beef contracts.

- Yes, I know. -Now, it's my idea,
if we can get all that money in one bank,

it's just the prize the Daltons
would be certain to go after.

You're going to have a chance to find out.
I finally got through all the red tape.

Money will be delivered to Mr. Rideout's
bank here Tuesday the 11th.

- You guarantee the information will
get to the Daltons? - Absolutely.

I'm nervous.
A million dollars in my bank...

Fully covered by the
bankers' protective.

But if the Daltons do come to get
it, there'll be shooting.

Probably will be, but that's no
reason that you should get hurt.

Well, I certainly hope not.
Well, what do I do next?

Tell the world about it. Make a big spread
in every newspaper in the territories.

Start people talking about it.
We're gonna

make it the biggest day
in Guthrie's history.

And we will. Come on over, Matt.
I wanna talk to you.

So long. So long.

A million dollars. Whoo!

I always thought that was
something you just talk about.

Now aren't you glad
we stayed in Guthrie?

Do we take it? You bet we do.
But we'll need help.

Who you got in mind?
The Daltons.

Why them? Because we owe them
something from the Bird Cage job.

Where do we find them? Bob told me to
contact Yellow Deer near Pawnee Nation.

I know Yellow Deer.
Good.

You two go and see if
the Daltons are interested.

If they are, stay with them
until the night of the tenth.

I'll have the layout by then,
and we'll operate from Jim's place.

You mustn't do that. Why?
Didn't you want me to?

Oh, it's not that.
It's just... just what, darling?

It's not good for either one of us.
Why?

[ Sighs ] Don't ask me why.
Do it again.

Tom? Yes?

Last night, when you were
talking to marshal ripple,

I heard you say that soon
we'd all be out of date.

That's right.
We were talking about the Daltons.

Just what did you mean?
Just that the territory is growing up.

You see, in a new country, everyone
gets the feeling that anything goes,

and that brings on a wave of lawlessness
such as we have in Oklahoma today.

But that sort of thing is going
out, and so are we.

Why "we"? Because we're
professional gamblers, darling.

Honest, yes,
but all part of the era.

We're getting out of date too.

Well, suppose... suppose what?

Nothing.

There was something you wanted
to say to me, wasn't there?

Well, it's just that
i... it's really nothing.

Darling, if you ever do
wanna say anything to me,

you won't be afraid to come to
me, will you?

No, Tom. You're the one man
I'll never be afraid of.

Don't you think we'd better be getting
home, darling? It's getting late.

[ Tom ] Well, the horse is
going just as fast as he can.

Belle says to meet at Jim's
place the night of the tenth.

Belle says that... "Belle says."
What is this "Belle says"?

Is she ramrodding this outfit?
She's ramrodding this job.

Do we know we can trust her? She crossed
us on the Bird Cage job, didn't she?

I told you how that play came up.
Now, shut up. Don't tell me to shut up.

If Emmett Dalton winds
up in a Guthrie street

with a belly full of
.45s, that'll be me.

I wanna know what I'm gettin' into.
And I'm tryin' to tell ya.

You don't like the
setup, just say so.

Emmett's talkin' through his hat.
I like it.

Sounds good to me, Emmett.
All right. Count me in.

But if anything goes wrong,
don't blame me.

Happy?
Course I am.

What woman wouldn't be with you, Tom?
This has been the happiest week of my life.

And you're a different person.
Different? In what way?

Well, you always seemed to be
guarding against something.

That tenseness is gone now.
You're more lighthearted...

And quick to laugh and, well,
just a lot of fun to be with.

I hope you always remember me that way.
Remember you?

Why, I'll never let you get far enough
away from me to have to remember.

You'll always be right here.

You're my partner, aren't you?
Yes. I'm your partner.

Let's drink to that partnership...
A partnership without deception,

so it can endure and
bring happiness...

And pride to both of us.

Drink.

Tom, you'll have to excuse me now. I must
change, or I'll be late for my number.

Anything wrong?
What's the matter?

Tom, there's something
I've gotta tell you,

and I don't know any way to
say it except straight out.

I'm Belle Starr.
I'm glad you told me.

That's the one thing I've
been waiting to hear.

You knew it? Yes.

Ever since the day I
played Blackjack with you.

Why didn't you turn me over to the law?
Well, because I knew...

That sooner or later,
Belle Starr would lead me to the Daltons.

Oh. So that was it.

Well, that's the way it started.
But things have changed... a lot.

You see, I happen to love you.

Do you, Tom? Do you really?
More than I thought possible.

That's all I need to know.

Oh, Tom. Why couldn't
it have happened sooner?

But it isn't too late... If you don't
ride in with the Daltons tomorrow.

You knew that too.

I've been certain ever since
Mac and Ringo turned up missing.

What about me?

You're going to Mexico...
Tonight.

And I'm going to join you
as soon as possible. Mexico?

I can't keep running away from the
law forever. No, and you won't.

In a year or two,
I'm coming back from Mexico with my wife.

I'm going to say to the proper
authorities, "this is Mrs. Bradfield.

"She used to be Belle Starr.

She has a debt to pay,
and let her pay it."

And when that debt is
paid, I'm going to try

to make life what it
ought to be for you.

When that day comes, let me know.
I'll pay off.

I knew that. Now, you hurry and pack,
and I'll arrange some transportation.

I want to get you
out of here tonight.

Figuring on taking that
trunk with you? Mac.

You told me to come and get you the
night of the tenth. This is the tenth.

Yes. I forgot. Forgot?

Did you forget we're taking a million
dollars out of the bank tomorrow?

Mac, I'm out of that deal.
You tell the others to give it up too.

Give it up? What's the matter with you?
Lost your nerve?

Yes. Yes, that's it.
I've lost my nerve.

Well, if you have,
I've lost my right leg.

There's something else here.
What is it, Belle? It's nothing.

It's just that it's too great a risk.
We'd never get away with it.

You tell the boys
not to come to town tomorrow.

[ Pete ]
Whoa. Well, now. Whoa.

[ Pete ] You want me to give
you a hand with montany's trunk?

[ Tom ] Yes.

So that's it, huh?
Tom Bradfield finally got to you.

Well, you won't have him long,
because when he comes through that door,

I'm gonna drill him...
Dead center.

Mac, please.
Give me a chance to be happy.

You love him, don't you?
Yes. I love him.

Women are funny.
You stand here telling me you

love Bradfield,
asking me not to plug him.

You know I'd shoot
ten men to get you.

Yep. You're funny people.
[ Pete talking, indistinct ]

Mac, please.

[ Knocking ]

Just a minute.

Good-bye, my love.
Good-bye, Tom.

You've got everything? Money and
instructions on how to reach me? Mm-hmm.

Be a good girl.
I'll be the best girl you ever knew.

[ Coughs ] All right, Pete.
Take good care of her.

She'll get nothin' but the best.
Hyah!

[ Mac ] Hold it, Pete.
[ Pete ] whoa. Well, now. Whoa.

Hate to bother you, but there's some
folks over at Jim Clark's place...

In Absaroka wanna
see this young lady.

[ Spits ] But I ain't goin' to Absaroka.
Yes, you are.

Do as he says, Pete. If you say so. But
there's gonna be trouble when we get there.

Not if you've got a brain in that
fool head of yours, there won't.

- This way. - [ Pete ] Hyah.

[ Blows ] I was beginning to
figure she'd lost her nerve,

when up drives
Bradfield in Pete's rig.

- I got the whole play then.
- You're all tangled

up. She got me out of
jail, didn't she?

Sure, she did. She had to. If you'd-a
told those suckers in Guthrie...

She is Belle Starr,
they'd-a stretched that pretty neck.

Well, now. Belle Starr!

What's that got to do with this job?
Mac just told ya.

She wants to play dandy with Tom Bradfield,
so she don't want no trouble in Guthrie.

It's a double-cross that even you could
see if skirts weren't blowin' in your eyes.

I'll string along wi emmtht on that.
We've

been spouting off about
a million-dollar haul.

Let's get in and make it.
What about Belle?

She rides with us
or she stays right here.

What do you mean "right here"?
I mean in a hole right under this floor.

You know I won't hold still for that.
Oh, yes, you will.

I ain't taking any chances with this woman.
If she's riding with us, we can watch her.

If she ain't ridin' with
us, she stays here.

- Let's hear from Belle.
- I'll ride with you on one condition:

I want Bob's word that he'll
leave Tom Bradfield alone.

All right, Belle,
if you want it that way.

Well, let's quit all this horsing
around and get some plans made.

You get the layout of that bank?
Yes.

Jim, get me a paper and pencil.
One of ya drag my trunk off Pete's wagon.

I'll need some work clothes.

We have every reason to expect
the Daltons before 11:00.

Warn the citizens to keep off
the streets and avoid panic.

You, Stewart,
take over the teller's cage.

Rideout and his clerks
will keep out of the way.

And remember this, men: If you see
any of the Daltons riding into town,

let 'em alone.

We want 'em to get into that
bank and get that money.

That's evidence.
We'll get it when they get out.

You wanna add anything, ripple? Looks
like you've done things up brown, Tom.

Matt? Not a thing.

All right, men.
Let's get your legs moving.

Drink? Too early.

Looks like you're really
gonna make it stick

this time... if the
Daltons come to town.

They'll come.
You seem mighty confident.

I couldn't be more confident if
the Daltons told me themselves.

In that case, it looks like I'll be
paying you $90,000 before the day is out.

- What are you going to do with it?
- Well,

I'm gonna shoot part of
it on the "rip-roaringest"

Mexican honeymoon
you ever heard of.

Mexican honeymoon.
That charming partner of yours, I'll bet.

That's right. Belle and I
are tremendously in love,

and eventually,
we should be tremendously happy.

Belle? I thought her name
was Montana.

Oh, that's only her nickname.
Her real name is Belle Starr.

Belle...

Belle Starr?
Apparently you've heard of her.

See here, Tom. This is no time to jest.
I'm not jesting.

My partner and the woman
I love is Belle Starr.

Wait a minute. There are a lot of
things I don't understand here.

Where is she now? Mexico.
Or should be in a few hours.

But she's an outlaw,
as much an outlaw as any of the Daltons.

She's a criminal with a price on her head.
If the law...

I know. If the law got her, they'd put
her away for life. They certainly would.

Are you married? No.
We haven't had time.

A couple of things I've got to
think over here. Belle Starr.

Oh, hello, Stewart. My safe is open
already. I'll take it now, Mr. Rideout.

You go over to the courthouse and wait.
Yes, sir.

There sure ain't much stirrin'.

Everybody's probably got a
hangover from last night's doings.

It just ain't natural. Remember?
I told you not to come.

Yeah. We remember.

Fill 'em up... full.

Well, it must be about time, Tom.
You wanna go down and see if the fire...

What on earth?
I couldn't wait to get to the door.

I figured the window'd be quicker.
Are you drunk?

No. I ain't now,
but i'm-a aimin' to be.

Tom, your Montana is Belle Starr, and the
Daltons are makin' her hold up the bank.

What's that? [ Chokes ] Well,
they nabbed us last night,

and Emmett was gonna shoot her 'cause she
tried to talk him out of robbin' the bank.

Then Bob, he was comin' here and kill you.
Well, it wound up that...

She promised she'd
ride with him if they'd

guarantee her that they
wouldn't bother you.

Where's Montana now?
She's ridin' with the Daltons...

To hold up rideout's bank.

Take it easy, Tom. This puts a
different light on things. Sit down.

Keep 'em high.

[ Gunshots ] [
Horses whinnying ]

[ Gunshots continue ]

No, Tom. I'd kill you before
I'd let you go out there.

You can't spoil things now.

Well, now. I don't care
whomsoever else you shoot,

but I don't want you shootin'
Tom, 'cause he's my friend.

[ Gunshots ]

Belle's down!

Hold your fire!

Montana!

- Montana!
- Go back, Tom! They'll kill you!

- You made her a promise.
- Montana!

[ Gunshot ] Here.
Give me a hand.

[ Gunshots continue ]

All right, Bradfield. Take her.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Gun clicks ]

Come on, Bob.
Let's walk out of this town.

All right, you dogs, drop your guns.
You're under arrest.

Take 'em down to the jail.

[ Crowd murmuring ] I've got
an announcement for you folks.

The Dalton gang is out of business.
[ Crowd cheering ]

Jim Clark, Mac and Ringo are dead.
The Daltons are shot up,

but they'll live
to face the jury.

I wanna know who was that young bandit
that Tom Bradfield took out of the bank.

That young bandit
was Belle Starr.

Belle Starr? Conway, get a posse mounted.
We'll ride them down.

[ Groaning ]

Oh, Tom... Tom, I tried to...

I know. Pete Bivins told
us all about it. [ Sighs ]

Too bad it had to end like this.

It's not going to end.
I'll get you a doctor,

and when you're patched up,
we'll still have that Mexican honeymoon.

[ Chuckles ] [ Man ] hyah! Hyah!

What's that? Ripple...
and a posse.

[ Men chattering ]

Looks like we'll have to
wait for that honeymoon.

But when I come out,
I won't owe any man anything.

I'll be all yours
then... honestly yours.
