What is this?

Will, take a look in those saddlebags.

My name's Payton.

Mind telling us where you're headed?

Going to the town called Poco Tiempo.

What for?

We got business there.

What kind of business?

What's this all about, mister?

I asked you what kind of business.

Not until you tell me what this is all about.

We're just drovers from a cattle drive 15, 20 miles east of here.

The boss sent us to town to pick up expense money.

The boss sent two of you on one horse?

No, we got caught in a rockslide. This one got lame.

The other one broke his leg. We...

We had to shoot him.

You said something about expense money.

That's right. Supplies and stuff.

So where did you expect to get this expense money?

From the confectionary store.

From the bank, Mr. Payton.

How do you know the bank's still standing?

Standing?

You don't know anything about the fire?

But you know the bank's still standing?

Look, we don't know anything about...

Save your breath. He ain't gonna believe you anyhow.

Why not? 'Cause it's not the truth?

There's nothing in the saddlebags, Mr. Payton.

What did you expect to find?

Perhaps $10,000.

Stolen from the bank?

No. Not from the bank.

We can prove who we are and what we're doing.

Look, shut up, will you?

Oh, you are a real rough one, aren't you, mister?

You got no call coming around here bracing us.

That's for us to decide.

Get that rifle off me, mister.

Charlie, you double ride with one of these men.

Will, you take the other.

Look, I ain't riding nowhere.

Hold on, Rowdy. They're riding us into town.

It beats hoofing it.

Mister, you're coming with us.

Now, you can come peaceably, or you can make trouble.

But either way

you're coming with us.

Find anything yet? Nothing yet,

but we're still looking.

This might've been a town once, but it sure ain't no more.

Finest cotton-growing country in Texas.

It'll be a town again. All right, come on.

Well, this is the mission.

Mean anything to you?

What are you gettin' at?

Is there any reason why you don't wanna go in?

You lead the way, mister.

You're the one who's trying to prove somethin'.

Sister, we just brought these two men in.

Are they the men?

You saw them when they grabbed him and ran him off.

You got a good look.

Are these the ones?

We've never seen them before, Mr. Payton.

Never.

Sorry to have troubled you.

All right. Let's get out of here, all of you.

We can't go on like this, Sister.

We've got to tell them. Who can we tell?

I suppose we can't.

You know we can't.

All right.

You didn't steal the money.

Means you didn't do the other thing.

You're free to go.

What other thing?

Murder a priest.

That's one thing they might've told us before.

We'd have been on their side.

Yeah. Well, lookie yonder.

Wouldn't you know it? The first thing they rebuild is a saloon.

Come on. Whoa.

What do you mean, "whoa"?

We got two things to do in this town,

and that's pick up money...

Get some remounts and get back to the herd. I know.

Well, why don't you see if you can pick us up

a couple of horses? Well, take money.

Well, that's what we came here to get, isn't it?

This horse ought to be worth somethin' in trade.

I'm going over to the bank. I'll meet you later.

Who runs the livery stable?

Right here.

You got a couple of horses to sell?

To sell? Yeah, this one's lame.

Oh, a little rest, he'll be all right.

I'd like to swap you him and give you something to boot

for two Summerlin.

Here.

Be three or four weeks before he can be rode.

I know. Well, I don't have no horses.

It says "livery stable."

Thought you had a corral out in back somewhere.

Oh, I had horses all right. All of them in there.

Every last one of 'em gone in the fire.

Must've been mighty bad. Yeah.

Middle of the night. Like seeing your own family burn up.

I never heard no screaming like it.

Well, anybody else have horses?

You won't find any horses in this town for sale.

We need every one we got left.

I'll even buy that one off you.

Well, that won't do us no good unless we get something to ride.

We gotta hook up with our outfit.

Where's your outfit at?

Cattle drive. Twenty miles from here. More by now.

Moving north? Yup.

Oh, you best take the stage out of here.

Stage?

Yeah, we got a line running between here and Blanesville.

That's 50 miles northwest.

You could pick up horses there.

Get what you came for?

Yeah, they had enough money in the bank for Mr. Favor's draft.

Uh, we owe anything here?

Just ain't no horses to be had.

Unless we reach a town 50 miles from here.

Who says? Livery man.

Fifty miles sounds kinda crazy to me.

Well, no more than us walking back to the herd.

Man says we can reach that town by stage.

Yup. Coach pulls out in the morning.

You wanna buy our horse there?

Uh, gonna need some care. About $15 high as I can go.

That's fair enough. Considering everything, I guess.

Don't wanna sell the saddle, do you?

Them saddles ain't inlaid, but they're good-working saddles.

Ought to be worth a few dollars.

Well, we'll keep the saddles.

What I wanna know is, who'd wanna kill a priest?

Bad thing. Real good man.

See, we raise cotton here. Planting's everything.

The whole crop was in that storehouse when it burned.

Now, Father Sebastian,

he went out to other places and raised money.

To buy us seed to keep us goin'.

Went all over. Talked to men he knew.

Night he got back, him and that money disappeared.

Two men. The nuns over at the mission saw it.

They grabbed him and yanked him away.

Was he shot.

Well, now, Father Sebastian,

he's the kind of man that'd turn up if that shot had missed.

Well, uh, I'll need a bill of sale on that horse.

All right.

We'll fix it up over at the saloon. Have a drink on it.

All right, hold it right there.

Father Sebastian, are you all right?

I'm fine. Sleeping on this hard pallet?

The harder the better. It's not imperative.

Maybe you'll tell me now.

Who were those two men out there you didn't know?

We told you the truth. We didn't know them.

Those men were brought to us as suspects.

What did you say? Well, what was there to say?

We'd never seen them before.

But they'll wait. They'll go away and stop

and watch you two come down here.

They went away. We're being very careful

that no one learns about this place.

All it means is the padre's life.

Sisters, do as I say.

Go to Mr. Payton and the others and tell them about this.

Father, Father... We don't mean to disobey you,

Father, but we can't do it. Go and tell them.

Please forgive us. For your sake.

That's right, for his sake.

I'll ask you again.

How long do you think you're going to get away with this?

The town is blocked off everywhere.

How can you get out?

Huh. He won't mention money.

I'll mention it.

How are we going to get the money out of here?

That's real easy to mention.

We're not gonna take it out. They are.

We? MAN: You and her.

The saints be with you.

You think you can rely on the sisters?

They like you.

Supposed we put it up to them?

We can't do it.

Oh, you mean you don't care what happens to the padre?

I wouldn't think you'd dare.

According to you, no.

According to me, there's no choice.

Sisters, you... Your work is upstairs.

You... You are needed there.

They can get somebody else to do the work.

There's plenty of women in this town.

All the sisters gotta say is they're tired or somethin'.

Yes, they can take care of things until we return.

No.

Oh, Father, we've got to do as these men say.

Sister Frances, the town isn't a town anymore,

and we have lost the money.

We can start over.

But we can't lose you.

Well, what do you want us to do?

You take this bag to Blanesville. Both of you.

As simple as that. No arching.

When you get there, you go to the hotel.

There'll be a man waiting for you. A man named Carter.

You give him the bag.

And Father Sebastian?

As soon as Carter gets the bag he'll telegraph us here.

Ain't that somethin'?

One of the few buildings that escaped the fire.

The telegraph office.

Ain't that somethin'?

As soon as we hear from Carter we'll turn the padre loose.

Understand?

Sisters, you stay here.

We have no other choice, Father.

You going or not?

Yes.

Yes, we'll do it.

Sister Frances, Sister Joan, I order you not to.

Father, we're not disobeying, but you must go on living,

whether what we do seems wrong to you or not.

Please forgive us. Just a minute.

We'll keep the money. The stage doesn't leave till morning.

Hey, I-I didn't know you was leaving town, Emerald.

It's a dull town, Mr. Swanson.

Couldn't get that roulette wheel to do what you wanted it to?

That's right. We're gonna miss ya.

I'm sure you are. I mean it,

you take care of yourself, you hear?

Don't ever worry about me.

Dance hall or not, that's a mighty purty girl.

It's gonna be a long ride.

Yes. Yes, it will be.

I expect we should get acquainted.

Yes, I expect we should.

I'm Emerald Carney.

I'm Sister Frances,

and this is Sister Joan.

I felt kinda funny when I saw you in here.

I got the feeling maybe you weren't going to approve of me.

That's odd.

I somehow got the feeling that you might not approve of us.

Well, bless you both.

What I mean is, I think we'll get along fine.

Yes, I'm sure we will.

Hey. I've been wondering how those gals are gonna get along.

Yeah, well, why wouldn't they? They're all gals, ain't they?

So to speak.

Well, uh, you ready to get started?

Yeah. I'm waiting for the sign painter.

About time he shows up.

Uh, let me see that please.

What do you have in that bag, Sister?

You may look inside, Mr. Payton.

Sorry.

All right, come on.

Come on what?

Get out and bring your satchel with you.

What for?

You know we're not letting anyone leave town

without searching them first.

You try searching me.

Are you gonna out by yourself, or do you want my assistance?

I'm staying right here.

You can take this.

What do you think you're doing, Payton,

wringing a chicken's neck?

Handle those things carefully.

I just laundered them.

Here.

What kept you from dropping it on the ground?

I'm sorry.

Don't say you're sorry.

Just don't say anything.

I wanna hate you with a clear conscience.

Men.

You don't know how well off you are without them.

All right? It's all right.

Here, I'll take your case.

All right, you boys can get on board now.

Can I have that bag? I'll put it in the back.

How'd it go? They searched everybody

on the coach but the sisters. That's what I figured.

Now it's my turn to get some fresh air.

Meet you in five. That's the time it takes to saddle horses.

Saddle the horses?

You figure on walking the plains, Bill?

You wanna miss the sisters' arrival?

You told them to give the money to someone named Carter.

You think I'm playing tricks? Who else is in this but us?

You know there ain't no Carter.

Why'd you tell 'em there was?

What if they start asking around for somebody named Carter?

We'll be there.

But you told 'em we're staying here,

letting the father go when we get the telegraph.

I told 'em what I had to tell 'em.

If we're gonna get there before they get there

we better get started.

I told you I was gonna saddle the horses.

What if we have any trouble gettin' out of here?

We'll get out. As long as we let 'em search us.

As long as we don't have the money.

He'll be able to tell everybody what we look like.

You saddle the horses.

Sleeps like a baby, doesn't he?

Baby bulldog.

Is it, uh, is it all right?

Is what all right?

Well, is it all right to speak?

I've been wondering why you've been so silent all this while.

Have you? Yes.

I mean, yes, I think I have.

Yes, I'm sure she has.

I'm sure she has too.

Would you ladies care for a drink?

No. No, thank you.

No, thank you.

What's in it?

Just plain water, ma'am.

Save it. You may have to wash later.

What did you want to speak about, Mr. Yates?

Well, I wanted to thank you, ma'am,

for helping Jim and me out of that mess.

Thank you too.

We only told the truth.

Well, sometimes the truth's hard to come by

when a man needs it the most.

Is that bad?

Well, it's more of a nuisance than anything else.

May I help you?

Sister.

Thank you very much.

Practically a diamond hitch, ma'am.

You ladies must learn a lot in your work.

I've known how to tie bandages since I was a little girl.

I was brought up on a ranch with my four brothers.

Where was that? Southwest Texas.

Well, that's my country.

What was your name then? If you don't mind me asking.

Conroy.

Conroy?

Well, I... I've heard my pa... Da... Dan Yates...

I've heard him speak of the Conroy's.

Gee, I probably would've met you before.

I went in the war when I was 16.

Say, wasn't your family hit pretty hard

in the Comanche raid?

Yes, I lost two of my brothers.

But that's how I met Sister Frances.

Some of us were taken to the church for sanctuary.

Father Sebastian.

Yeah, the wheel's lockin'.

She's froze up. Gears goin' inside.

They tell you you're working for a new line.

All fine equipment.

Yeah, and good men taking care of it.

Well, you carrying any grease?

I am unless one of them lunkheads

forgot to hang the bucket.

You'll have to work this wheel loose

before it'll do any good.

Unlock the team, Jack.

Nothing like breaking down in the middle of nowhere.

Taking them long enough.

Getting that wheel off is hard.

I don't know how you stand in those clothes you wear.

We don't think about it.

Come to think of it, I don't know why you girls

ever lock yourself in for a life like that.

Ever feel sorry about it?

Sorry?

Good-looking kid like you.

Ever wish you could back out?

Back out?

From what you're doing. Being a nun. Sister.

Well, I still have that choice.

Oh, yeah?

You see, I haven't taken my final vows yet.

Oh?

And maybe you're not so sure you want to stay in.

Why do you say that?

Way you been looking at that drover.

Can't say as I blame you.

You sure got a lot of play on it.

Nothing wrong with that flange.

It's another 10 miles to the relay station.

Wheel stays on and we'll make it.

All right, let's get it off the jack.

All right, ladies, ready to go.

Thank you, drover boy.

Ever so much, drover boy.

Hyah. Weezer.

Hold the team, Ben, we're not going out for awhile.

Trouble? Yeah, bad wheel.

Let's go.

We're gonna have to make a stopover for repairs.

Might be a little while, so best you ladies go inside.

Let me help you with that, ma'am.

I'll take... I'll take it.

I'll take it.

This isn't so bad, if we have to spend the night.

Us girls can be real cozy here.

Spend the night? But we have no time for that.

The men sound real discouraged about the coach.

It ain't the wheel.

It's the axle, it's bent.

We'll have to take it off, put some heat on it,

and straighten 'er out.

I guess we better tell the passengers.

Ladies, I'm sorry, but it looks like

we're gonna have to lay over till morning.

But we can't do that.

We must go straight through to Blanesville.

Believe me, ma'am, it can't be helped. we gotta fix the coach.

Ben says you ladies can have the cabin for the night.

But we can't wait that long. Is there...?

Is there a buggy we can hire, or...? Or anything?

Ben, can you help?

Well, there's a buckboard I guess you could use,

but it's more than 25 miles from here to Blanesville, ma'am.

Yeah, Sister, and you don't wanna go off alone with that.

But I'm afraid we must.

You'll let one of us go with you?

Oh, please, you must let me do this my way.

Well, there's a rig I-I could fix up for you.

Oh, thank you.

Jim.

Yeah?

Keep an eye on him, will ya?

Sure. What for?

Just let me know if he does anything unusual.

All right.

You can be certain this wagon will be returned.

I ain't worried about that, ma'am.

Two ladies that bothers me.

You sure you wanna do this?

Yes. Yes, we'll be all right.

How's it coming?

Ah, we'll heat it up and straighten it.

Rowdy.

That sign painter headed for the grill.

Didn't hardly wait for the buckboard to pull out.

Stay around in case I need you, huh?

Now, I want that. No, you can't have it.

It doesn't belong to you. Give it to me.

No, you can't have it. Come on, give me that.

Hold it right there.

Go ahead and pull that. Go ahead.

Drop that bag.

Drop it.

Turn around.

Get outta here.

Keep going.

Oh, we... We want to thank you.

You're liable to, uh, run into some more of this.

I think you better let me drive you back.

The coach'll be ready in a few hours. We're all working on it.

Well, all right.

I'll sit in the back, Sister.

Please.

You came back.

Yes. Ma'am.

Yes?

I'm afraid I got bad news for you.

Father Sebastian.

Message from Poco Tiempo. Says your priest is dead.

Got it straighten out?

That ought to do it.

Let's get it back on the coach.

What is it?

Father Sebastian?

Yes.

But I'm being selfish too. I'm thinking about my own life.

That isn't selfish.

I'm afraid, Sister.

I've been afraid for a long time.

Yes. Yes, I know.

I don't feel I can go through with it.

I don't feel I belong.

And now that it's too late to help Father Sebastian...

Well, we must still finish our journey.

Father would've wanted that.

We'll take the money to Blanesville

where it'll be safe.

And then?

Joan,

I'm sure most of us felt the same way you do.

Deeply humble.

Fearful of taking the final step.

Not you.

Yes. Even now.

About many things.

Not you, Sister.

What do you think we are, Joan?

We all doubt ourselves.

We all feel unworthy.

Then why?

What is there in it for any of you?

Helping others.

Expressing our faith and devotion in sacrifice.

This makes us feel worthwhile.

This renews our own strength.

I don't have that in me.

Oh, yes, but you do.

A need to serve is very strong in you, Joan.

And you must respond to it.

For peace of mind.

And fulfillment.

For you it's the true happiness.

I've made up my mind, Sister.

I'm not taking my final vow.

She's all yours. Ready to roll.

I'll tell the women.

Yeah,

you're the kind of a man, all right.

Kind of what?

Kind of man a woman would make a fool of herself over.

What are you talking about?

That pretty young nun. She's not gonna take her final vows,

just because of you.

Have you been drinkin'? I have not.

Then make sense, will ya?

Oh, I'm making all kinds of sense.

That girl. She's not in with the rest of those churchwomen yet.

Not all the way. She hasn't given her final word.

And now she's not going to.

Yeah, what's that gotta do with me?

You and her come from the same part of Texas, don't you?

Yeah.

You're the good-looking boy from home.

She saw the likes of you, and that was it.

You always go around talkin' like this?

Oh, I'm a gossipy, meddlesome female.

You know any who aren't?

Yeah, those two in there.

May I help you? Oh, no.

No, thank you. Uh, Sister. Um...

I don't want you to think I've been making any trouble for you,

and not on purpose anyway.

Trouble?

Yeah, I... Well, what I mean is, I have, uh,

greatest respect for you ladies. All of you.

I don't want you thinking I'm trying to be fancy or anything.

Fancy?

Oh. Oh, have you been talking to that girl?

Emerald?

Yeah. She told me that Sister Joan was gonna quit your outfit

on account of me.

Oh, please believe me.

Sister Joan has all the qualities needed

to become a dedicated nun.

But leaving us or staying with us, that's her decision.

Her's alone. You had nothing to do with it.

Oh.

I'm sure glad you said that.

I... I didn't think there was anything wrong

with me talkin' to her about her kinfolk.

No.

No, of course not.

Perhaps...

Perhaps you've become a symbol to Sister Joan.

Your image is part of a world that she used to know.

You've been very helpful. Very strong.

This might affect her decision.

But whatever the outcome, it's no fault of yours.

We're all waiting for you.

Oh.

Why don't you and me, uh, sit together the rest of this trip?

Come on.

Jack. Drop the bag and tools, they're the painter's.

Oh, uh, Ben, give this to the painter when he gets back.

Give this to him too.

All ready?

Weezer. Hyah.

Hyah.

We got a lot of riding ahead. I figured this would be

a good chance for you and me to get acquainted.

Kind of a new idea on your part, isn't it?

Yeah. That's the way it goes.

I saw you standing in that doorway

and you looked mighty pretty.

Uh-huh.

Whoa.

Good time to stretch your legs, folks.

It's time for me to water the horses.

Pardon me, ma'am.

Thank you, Rowdy.

Rowdy? Hm?

Could I talk to you?

Excuse me.

What are you trying to prove, playing up that girl?

Oh, we're just having a little fun.

Well, she don't think so.

Not with all that hogwash you're givin' her.

She knows I don't mean it. Well, maybe not at first,

but the last two hours now she's been lapping it up.

I'm older than you, Rowdy, and I know what I'm talkin' about.

If you ain't careful you're gonna be

neck-deep in women trouble.

I can take care of myself.

I hope so.

I hope that girl isn't going to be hurt by what he's doing.

Hm?

Those two out there.

Haven't you noticed?

No.

He's been paying a lot of attention to her.

Sister.

Yes?

Did you mean it when you said you were fearful and uncertain?

About taking my final vows?

I felt just as you do.

Mr. Yates.

Yeah? How much farther

would you say we had to go?

Oh, I'd say around 5 miles or so.

Oh.

Uh...

I wanted to tell you, ma'am, about, uh, Emerald and me.

Oh?

We got engaged.

Engaged?

Yeah. I asked her and she said yeah.

Oh.

So you gonna be all right when you get to Blanesville?

After you leave the coach and all.

You're thinking about the money.

Uh-huh.

We're taking it straight to the bank.

I don't believe there'll be any trouble now.

We got a change of plans. Word just came through

about the priest being shot. It's all over town.

Nuns might find out about it before they get to the hotel.

So we meet them just as soon as they step off the stage.

That's right.

Whoa, whoa.

Get 'em out.

Just stay quiet, friends.

Give me your gun.

Handle first.

You're gonna step out, one at a time. Men first.

Come on, move. Get out.

All right, move. Turn your back to me.

That's it, you're behaving real nice. Come on.

All right, ladies. Move, get out of there.

Okay, Colley. Get the bag.

Nothing in it.

All right, where is it? That money belongs to God.

Where is it? I'll never tell you.

Ain't in here.

Now, listen, lady. Ah.

I know where it is. You got it on ya.

You took it out of that bag

and cached them in those clothes of yours.

Is that right, Sister? They're women, Colley.

Churchwomen. Not much we can do about it.

But you can. Get in there and take the money off of her.

I wouldn't do anything for you.

You act stubborn, you won't like what I'll do to your face.

Haven't you done enough? Get in there.

You next. Come on, come on.

Search her.

What's going on here? Hold it.

They came from Poco Tiempo.

Those are the men that murdered Father Sebastian.

Which ones?

That man.

And this one.

All right. Come on, a few of you men take him. Let's get him in.

Get up there.

Take him. Come on.

Go in and tie him.

I've been thanking God for his help.

Now I want to thank you for helping God.

Well, I was glad to help him, ma'am.

Can I help?

Thank you, but the driver will take him somewhere he can rest.

Oh, I'd like to talk to you.

You all right now? Yes.

All he needs is a good stiff drink.

Come on, Jack.

What was it you wanted to talk to me about?

I'm deeply touched by what you're trying to do,

but it's unnecessary.

Oh, well, what am I trying to do?

Why taking the veil

is a final and irrevocable decision.

We're all mortal.

Even the best of us have our weaknesses.

And when we're

facing the sacred moment,

we all tend to hesitate

and falter.

Yeah, I guess so.

I've finally overcome my self-doubts.

And I told Sister Frances that I was ready to take my final vows.

I'm... I'm glad for you.

That man was hurt and needed my help.

Little while ago you needed help too.

Sure. Well, I understand.

I hope you didn't think that, uh...

Well, what I mean is,

I understand why you sisters help,

because, uh...

well, sisters are great helpers.

I'm grateful that you spare me from

having to spell it out for you.

What about your engagement?

Oh, you don't have to worry about Emerald.

She understands I didn't really mean it.

Does she?

Emerald, there's a...
