Whoa!

Come on, let's go, haa!

What is it now?

You don't know how funny you look.

You can't even follow wagon tracks, let alone hoof marks

On a travelled road like this.

I don't care if your father was an apache chief.

Navaho, not apache.

An indian have powers white man never understand.

We are not far behind gannaway, I tell you that.

Well it's almost as good to keep 'im movin' as to catch 'im.

Keep 'im movin',

He can't get the money without us knowin' about it.

Ah, I pick up his trail first thing in the morning.

I tell you what, you follow the trail an' I'll follow the road,

An' I'll be in north fork before you.

I sure hope everything tasted all right.

Ah, just fine thanks.

Oh, it's a growin' town, lots of business opportunities,

Mister... And a considerable social life.

Just fine, thanks.

For those who care to be sociable.

Mornin', ruth?

Mornin', marshal.

Your usual breakfast, micah?

I think so. No, make it just scrambled eggs and toast.

You know him?

Eh, seems I should, but I can't place him.

He's a stranger in town,

On business.

Kinda nice-lookin' though, huh?

I'll get your eggs.

Marshal, may I sit down?

Sure, go ahead.

My name is gannaway, russell gannaway.

Do I know you?

I thought marshals were supposed to have good memories for names.

I have. I'll place you, just give me a minute.

I'll save you the trouble, marshal.

There was a poster on me about four years ago.

Poster... Oh, yeah.

Stagecoach robbery, just outside o' town.

What are you doin' back here?

A man just out o' prison has to start someplace.

Has to convince people that he's honest.

I thought I'd try to convince the people

Where it'd be the hardest.

Maybe easier said than done.

Well, marshal, you don't have to believe me,

I just want a chance, that's all.

What are you figurin' on doin'?

Well, I have a friend in these parts, I think would help me.

Friend?

Yeah, a fellow named lucas mccain, you know him?

Yeah, I know him.

Seems to me the $5,000 in that stagecoach robbery

Was never found.

That's all I ever heard about in prison.

Everybody wantin' to know what happened to the money.

You don't know?

You've gotta believe me, marshal, I really don't know.

You wanted to talk to lucas mccain, now's your chance.

Oh, yes, excuse me, marshal, will you?

Don't you want your eggs?

Later, ruth.

Who was that nice young man, marshal?

Later, ruth.

Lucas, I had time to plan an' think.

I can see now how wrong I was.

A man's gotta have friends and he's gotta be respected.

That's why I came back to north fork.

Figured I have to make amends here

Before I could start makin' a life for myself.

Well, you know, russell, it's not gonna be easy.

Especially since that money's never been recovered.

I can't return what I never had.

You still believe me, don't you?

Well, if I didn't, russell,

I wouldn't be willin' to help you now.

Thank you, lucas.

Hello, micah?

Town's full of strangers this mornin'...

I don't recognize that pair.

Lucas, if you would, there is a way you could help me.

I need a week or two of hard work in the open air,

So I can... Feel myself again.

If you have any stumps to pull or rocks to-

To clear, I'd appreciate it.

Well, my place is in pretty good shape now.

Oh, I don't expect to get paid, you understand,

Just found and a place to sleep, that's all.

Uh, pa? There're some rocks in the north field near the road.

I know it, son.

All right, russell, you've got yourself a job.

Oh, I appreciate that, lucas.

My horse threw a shoe,

I'll get it fixed an' then I'll be ready to leave with you.

Excuse me.

You, eh, know 'im pretty well, lucas?

I used to, micah.

He helped mark an' me get settled when we first came here.

Son, I was... Hesitatin' because of you.

But, pa, he deserves a chance

Just gettin' out of prison like that.

And besides, you've been threatenin' to clear up

That field for two years now.

I never know with you, mark,

Whether you're being charitable or practical.

I never could understand russell robbin' that coach.

He's was a respectable rancher.

You got any coffee?

Sure.

Our friend has found a friend here in town.

Yeah, that may take a little watchin'.

He looks dangerous, that tall one.

I'm gonna get a drink, you keep an eye on 'im.

Why me?

You're always tellin' me you got better eyesight.

The main rivers that flow

Into the mississippi are the ohio, the tennessee,

The... The missouri, the arkansas an' the red.

Oh, I got the team hitched to the stone wall.

It's nippy out there.

Well, have a cup o' coffee, and warm up, russell.

Ah, thanks.

Mark, if you get through that geography test without shamin'

Yourself today, I'll buy you supper at the hotel tonight.

Really, pa? I'll do her!

And by the way, son,

Get back early now

Because we have to get into town right away.

We do? I thought we already picked up the mail yesterday.

Yeah, we did, but I have some bank business.

Our catalogue order is comin' in on the stage tomorrow

An' I'd like to have the money ready.

That's better.

Oh, russell, if you'd like you can join us for supper.

That is, if mark doesn't get his rivers crossed up.

Thanks, I'd like to. I'll get started now.

Main rivers that flow into the mississippi are the ohio,

The tennessee, the missouri, the arkansas an' the red.

Whoa!

Pa says he changed his mind.

You might as well just pile the rocks on the side of the road

Here an' make kind of a wall.

Well, one place is as good as another.

You on your way to school?

Uh-huh.

Look, son, if you don't get movin'

I'll ask you to help me here.

Uh-uh! I guess school work's easier than this. See you later.

Hey, ol' friend, good morning.

Wish he'd wear his gun.

I always feel mean shootin' a half-dressed man.

This trick of the navaho always works,

We can strap his gun on him afterwards.

It's not the same.

I didn't see you ride up.

Indian trick.

He was busy talkin' to the boy.

What do you want?

Well, we're not interested in renewin' old friendship,

We want the money.

Look... Look at it this way,

I spent four years in prison an' you two went scot free.

Look at it this way, we helped you rob that stage.

So we have an equal share.

But I'm the one that got caught.

I figure my time in prison is worth that share.

Go strap on your gun.

Besides I don't have the money.

Strap on your gun or we'll strap it on you

After you're dead.

If you kill me, you'll never get the money.

Neither will you. It will be an indian standoff.

Mexican standoff.

Wait a minute, if you'd had the money,

You wouldn't have to come back here to north fork.

Figures you must have hid it here after the robbery. Where?

Now, I didn't hide it, I gave it to someone.

As soon as I get it back, I'll split it with you.

I don't believe you. Who did you know here to trust?

I can't tell you.

Do you believe him? Who does he know?

The man he's workin' for.

Is that it, gannaway? Mccain got the money?

Yeah, yeah, mccain, that's right, he's got it.

Well, let's get it from him.

Well, now wait a minute, he's not carryin' it around with him,

He's got it at the bank.

All right, let's go get it.

Well, we can't all three of us go an' get it from him.

Mccain is known as an honest man around here.

I promised 'im a split if he'd keep it for me.

I'll have to get it myself.

All right, but you gotta get it today. We're tired of waitin'.

I can't do it today.

I told lucas I'd stay around here at least a week to work

Around the place.

Now, can't you wait a week?

Tell him you changed your mind.

He'll get suspicious.

Tell him you hurt your hand so you can't work anymore

So you must leave right away.

Then ask for your money.

Pretty crafty.

All right, I'll get 'im to give it to me this afternoon.

We're goin' in for supper.

An' then I'll meet you back here an' we'll divide it.

No, not here. The hotel, as long as you're eatin' in town.

Then we'll ride out after dark.

Yeah. Well I'll get started right away.

Gannaway, remember, you hurt your hand.

All right.

Why wait until after dark? We can leave any time now.

Why split it three ways?

I like your thinkin'.

My father would have been proud of you.

Thank you. You watch him 'til he gets into town.

Why me?

Cuz I don't trust him, and I trust you.

Mornin'.

Mornin', marshal.

Saw you boys ride in yesterday. Stayin' long?

Don't plan to, no.

Where's your partner?

Partner?

An indian you rode in with, where's he?

No partner, just rode in together.

I was just askin', lots of new faces in town lately.

You always ask a lot of questions, marshal?

My job.

You're good at it, marshal.

No need to worry about me though, plan to leave town

Tomorrow mornin'. Got no business here at all.

Now, listen, I'd like to get a drink

An' buy a few things at the store.

I'll see you at the hotel.

We'll be about 20 minutes at the bank.

How'd you get in there? I've been lookin' for you.

You never see indian when he don't want to be seen.

Gannaway didn't go into the bank with them.

I know. He's right in there.

Let's ask him why.

I see you got 'im here all right,

How come you're not in the bank with 'im?

Come here.

I didn't wanna get 'im suspicious.

Wouldn't do it if he thought I was anxious or didn't trust 'im.

When are you gonna get the money?

Right after dinner at the hotel.

You can wait an hour, it'll be dark then.

We'll be there.

No, this town's got a nosy marshal.

We'll be outside watchin' for you.

You better go after him,

Don't leave him alone with that money too long.

All right, I'll meet you here in the saloon after dinner.

No tricks.

No tricks, believe me.

Believe you? That'll be a day.

I feel a... Great desire growin' in me to lift his scalp.

Sorry, little brother,

I'm afraid we only got time to kill 'im an' take the money.

Come on, I buy you some fire water.

That nosy marshal is in there with them,

They're still eatin' supper.

Any sign of the money changin' hands yet?

No.

Well they'd have to get rid of the marshal first.

We'll be ready for him.

Where did you put the horses?

In the alley over there.

We take cover over there an' watch both doors to the hotel.

Come on.

Went over all my old records this afternoon,

It refreshed my memory, that money was never found.

Thank you, ruth.

An' there were men involved in it,

That were never found either. 'cept you.

You're gettin' at somethin', micah.

I think so, but I'm not sure what.

Just strikes me funny that gannaway here

Should come to town an' then those other two strangers

Show up about the same time.

Oh, just a coincidence, that's all.

Maybe so, but they were watchin' you pretty good this afternoon

An' I was, too.

An' you were all three together in the saloon.

Why I don't know what they were doin' there,

But I was just gettin' a drink.

That's no reason to badger a man, micah.

It's enough.

Suppose those two fellows are somehow connected

With gannaway here.

Remember the money was never found.

Suppose they think he's got it hidden?

Now that he's stayin' at your place,

That involves you an' mark.

What d'you mean?

Well, if there's any shootin', you an' your father

May find yourselves right in the middle of it.

He's right, russell.

I know we're old friends, but I still have to ask you.

Did you do anythin' to put mark in danger?

Well... Listen, lucas,

I can understand the marshal being suspicious,

But we're old friends, like you said,

I wouldn't do that to a friend.

Anybody want seconds?

Yes, I'd like some, it's very good.

I thought you hurt your hand pretty bad this mornin',

You handle that knife an' fork pretty well.

You don't seem to have any pain. Now, lemme see it.

It's nothin' but a bruise.

All right, gannaway, now, I want answers.

How about those two men in the saloon?

An' why did you strap on a gun this afternoon?

Well... To protect myself, lucas.

They- they thought that maybe I might have the money hidden.

An' they threatened me.

Have you hidden the money?

No, no, I told 'em, I told 'em I don't have the money.

Well, it doesn't look like they believe you,

They're still in town.

Yeah. Why didn't they leave? What else did you tell them?

Did you tell them you had it hidden

Or maybe somebody was keepin' it for you?

Is that why they're waitin' around?

Is that it?

Did you put my son in danger with a lie like that?

Did you?

I had to, lucas, you don't know those men.

If I didn't promise to get it back, they would have killed me.

Where were you supposed to get it from?

Well...I couldn't tell 'em it was hidden.

I had to tell 'em I gave it somebody else an'...

An' I was gonna get it back from 'em.

Somebody else. Who? Who!?

-You. -Me? Why me?

Lucas, I can't face them alone, but you can,

You're good with a gun.

You figured on me to do your killin' for you.

Listen- listen, suppose the money is hidden near your place,

With those two out of the way.

Listen, lucas, we can find it, you an' me.

You get out of here before I kill you!

Didn't he want the stew?

Pa, won't those two men kill 'im?

All he has to do is come up with the money, son,

To save his life, an' I'm sure he can do that.

Sanchez, brooks! Brooks.

Sanchez. Mccain tried to kill me, he's got it.

He lied to me, he double crossed me, he's got the money.

He's got it?

Says he's got it on him.

Now, listen to me, gannaway is lyin',

I haven't got the money.

They'll never believe me,

They can't take a chance I might be lyin'.

Where are they?

Out behind the furniture wagon.

I'll cut across in my office an' get 'em in the crossfire.

Good. Mark, you get behind the desk out of the way,

You too, ruth.

Mccain, throw the money out in the street.

That's all we want.

We're trapped here!

Stay with 'im.

You get inside the hotel in the rear.

Pa, behind-!

Pa, micah's not here.

just our luck.

I hope he gets back soon.

There's too much money here to leave unguarded.

That sure was a lot of diggin'.

But, it was worth it to find that money.

An' besides, we cleared away all those rocks

That were layin' in the field, didn't we, pa?

Hmm.

Pa, didn't we?

Well, almost done, anyhow.
