[ theme song playing ]

All right, everybody up!

Come on, boys! On your feet.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Come on, Randy, wake up.

It's Christmastime.

Christmas, huh?

You don't look much like Santa Claus.

Well, it's cold enough to be Christmas.

Here we go again.

Yep.

[ yawns ]

Brr. Morning like this,

that colt I'm breaking is liable to hump up

and throw me clear to the Judge's study.

Maybe it'll be too cold.

VIRGINIAN: Let's go! Let's go, boys!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Freezing. It's freezing.

It's the middle of June, Randy, and it's freezing.

Couple hours it'll be boiling.

I guess that's Wyoming for you.

Is that what it is? I got another name for it.

Wonder what Cooky's got for breakfast.

I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.

That's probably what we're gonna get.

Clear to the Judge's study, I guarantee you.

All right, boys,

got a lot of yearlings to bring in.

Randy, you and a couple others bring up some posts.

I want to fence a part of that ridge.

Trampas, you can start by cutting them out.

Hey!

Oh!

If that's colt's too much for you,

maybe we can find you something a little gentler.

Well, if he isn't trying to throw me every morning,

he's trying to rub me off on a fence.

The other morning he--

All right, all right. You gonna sit there all day?

Do you think it was my idea?

Come on, you're acting like a tenderfoot.

It's not my foot that's tender.

Whoa, mustang.

[ neighs ]

Whoa, son.

I'm gonna get you to dance

if it's the last thing I do.

Come on. Come on.

Hyah! Hyah! Get up there.

Move out! Get 'em together, boys.

Come on! Get up!

Hyah!

Get in there!

Hyah!

Get up there.

Here you are, Trampas, nice and hot.

Hot beans.

Nothing like hot beans on a cold, rainy day.

Heh heh! Cold, rainy day.

[ chuckling ] Yeah.

Sure is a scorcher, ain't it?

Ain't been this hot since...

Yesterday.

[ sighs ]

Ain't no worse than usual.

No, I guess not.

Cooky, how do you do that?

Do what?Eat your own cooking.

Well, I gotta set you boys a good example.

I don't want you eating nothing I wouldn't eat myself.

You must have a stomach like a mule.

Trampas, you hold tongue, now.

He don't mean nothing by it, Cook.

Well. Well, don't bother me none.

Twenty-five years ago it was the same way, I guess.

Tough and rancid.

I bet you didn't cook beans any better.

Well, I was no cook then.

Rangehand just like you, Trampas, and a good'un.

Then, before I knew it, I got old and all stoved in,

and, well, here I am.

But 25 years ago, just like you.

When you get to be my age,

maybe they might just make a cook out of you, too.

What did it all get you?

Well, yesterday I won $4 playing poker,

and I'm alive.

What's his problem?

Tight boots, I guess.

[ laughing wheezily ]

That's a good'un.

Trampas!

Get all those yearlings cut out yet?

All? That's a bumper crop we got.

Take a while to get all them.

Better get back to the herd.

Is it all right if I have a drink first?

Sure. Get a move on.

Those yearlings won't be yearlings much longer.

A man can parch himself to death at this job.

Something's sure been bothering him.

I've noticed that.

Get that stray!

Keep 'em moving! Keep 'em moving!

[ whistles ]

Keep 'em moving!

I'm sure glad that's over.

For today.

Another long day, another short dollar.

Want to go into town?Go into town?

I couldn't go to town if my life depended on it.

That's good. Save it for Saturday night.

We're moving out an hour early in the morning,

make up for the time we lost today.

Doesn't make much point in going to sleep, then, does it?

It's up to you.

Up to me? Ha. That'll be the day.

Where are you going?I'm going into town.

If he doesn't like it, he can...

Just don't stand there.

Get cleaned up, and maybe I'll take you with me.

[ piano playing ]

Any side bets?

Come on, quit stalling.

Oh, keep quiet. Take your time, Luke.

Thank you, Daisy.

Your beauty is exceeded only by your unswerving loyalty.

Now, remember, if one of those drops...

A bet's a bet.

Now, if I could have a little advance against my winnings...

Forget it.

Give him one on the house, Sam!

[ chuckling ]

Daisy, I admire your powers of persuasion.

Sam.

Right with you.

How do you like that? Customer comes in...

You know, you sure been acting skittish lately.

Maybe it's none of my busi-- Like you say.

It's none of my business, sure.

Hey, Sam, how about some service down here?

What are you running, a saloon or a circus?

Luke!

Trampas!Luke!

No-good grifter!

Me? You wrote the book. What are you doing here?

I hate to break up a reunion, but, uh...

Yes, of course. That's one I lose. Congratulations.

The bet was $5.$5, of course. Put it on my bill.

What bill?

His bill! Go on, Sam.

Luke's an old friend of mine, and bring us a bottle.

Trampas, how you been?

Trampas, you look different. I just can't believe it.

You know what I mean?

I just can't believe it.Where are my manners?

Excuse me. May I present Daisy, Trampas?

Oh, I already know Daisy, but I didn't know you knew her.

Well, actually, I only met her an hour or so ago...

but sometimes friendship blossoms...

Yeah, I remember.

Listen, let's have a drink and you tell me all about it.

Hey, Sam! Randy!

Hey, Randy. Come here.

You know everybody in town, don't you? Say, you live here?

Randy, I'd like you to meet

an old friend of mine, Luke Milford.

Randy.Glad to meet you.

Warn you right now, you're in bad company!

[ all laughing ]

Hey, Luke, what are you doing here?

Passing through.

Say, Tramp, what are you doing here?

Workin'.

Shortin' cash? Well, that happens.

You don't work regular, do you?

Well, what do you do?

[ starts to play ]

Cowhand.

Trampas!

Cow?

Well.

Well, that's not so bad, being a cowhand.

I mean, uh,

where would we be without our cowhands?

We're a young country.

We need our beef. We need our cowhands.

Men like you, Tramp, and you, Randy, we need ya!

Here, let's drink to you.

All right, Daisy?

Let's... pay... tribute to these men!

You bet I will, Luke.

Never knew how much we need our cowhands.

To cowhands everywhere!Everywhere.

Besides, it's not as if you're gonna be a cowhand all your life.

Oh, you bet. That's for sure, Luke.

What else are you gonna do?

Well, I'm gonna be president.

Right! I'll put my money on you, boy!

Hey, Tramp...

Tramp, remember Chicago?

Remember that bet we made?

DAISY: Were you in Chicago?

Oh, Chicago's my hometown.

Remember Lord Moneybags, the Englishman?

Lord Moneybags took a fancy

to a certain piece of property,

and I bet...

I bet Trampas I could sell it to him.

What property was it?

A piece of Lake Michigan's

North Shore, and he bought it.

Hey, look, Luke, how long you gonna be around?

Well, it depends.

I thought I'd scare up a nice little game

of three-card Monte here, but it seems the citizens

have been burned recently, so, uh...

Oh, you, uh... you short of cash?

No. No, no, no, no.

No, no.

Long on greed.

Hey. Hey! I got an idea.

We're shorthanded at the ranch.

Now, I know I can talk to the foreman and--

Work? F-for wages?

Oh, it's not so bad.

Just for a week, a few days, and then...

Nah, nah. You know me.

I just never got the hang of it.

I'll bet you $5 you can't last a day.

You're on!

Great, Luke. Great. Great.

We'll get a couple hours' drinking time,

then we'll head back to the ranch.

Hey, don't forget we gotta start early in the morning.

Eh, no, that's all right. We got plenty of time.

We'll stay for a while, then we'll take off.

Well, as a matter of fact, I don't think

I can make it, now, can I Daisy?

No. You promised you'd--

Yes, I promised I'd... teach her a few card tricks,

something for her old age.

[ laughing ]

Ah, pard, it's gonna be good.

Hey, Randy, play us a song.

Whoa, girl. Whoa!

Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!

VIRGINIAN: Trampas!

Hey, Trampas!

He's pretty good.Well, I said he was.

He's kind of slow, though, like he's playing a game.

Well, he's enjoying himself.

That's why he does things. That's who he is.

You might tell him we're paying him to work, not enjoy himself.

You sure can't do both around here.

Still off your feed?

Howdy. Problem?

No.

Doing well, Milford.

Not easy, mixing with a herd.

I'm used to it.

I was a yardhand in Chicago once.

Never liked it, though.

I don't know too much about yard riding.

Out here we move a little faster.

Sure.

It's not my idea of paradise.

There's worse places, I guess.

Yeah. And better.

Last place in the world I expect to find you, Tramp.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Well, I just, uh, just drifted in.

'Fore I knew it, it's been three years.

Stuck.

Well, it happens to people.

Mm.

You know, you drift in,

get stuck, ranch, job, a wife, a rut.

Don't like it there, you don't belong there.

But they don't do anything about it.

Before you know it, it's three years,

a lifetime.

Yeah, but...

Well, what we were doing,

after a while there got to be no point to it.

I mean, we weren't getting anywhere.

It was fun, but...

What are you getting here, boy?

What's the point of all this?

Huh?

Pushing steers?

It's honest work.

[ laughs ]

Honest work?

I don't know, maybe you're right.

My kind of life, taking it easy,

living high on the hog when I can,

not crying when I can't.

I do what I feel like doing.

May not get me anywhere.

Only one place you get to anyway

with six feet under,

and in the meantime

you can have this, if it's what you want.

Come on, let's get going.

Those yearlings are getting older by the minute.

Yeah, so are we, boy. So are we.

Get in, now. Hyah! Hyah!

[ neighs ]

Ew.

What is it?

Beans.

What happened to them?

[ chuckling ]

Eh.

Hey, Luke, you gotta eat.

I'm gonna wait.

Daisy's gonna fix me a steak.

After chasing those yearlings all day long,

I don't know if I can look a steak in the eye.

Hey, look, you said you're just passing through.

Where to?

Well, I never been to Dakota country.

That's a trip.

Well, I'm in no hurry.

I hear Deadwood's quite a town.

Deadwood? That's where they found gold.

Uh-huh.

Oh, I don't see you prospectin'.

Well, there's all kinds of prospecting,

as you may remember.

You know, some people just don't know

what to do with sudden wealth unless they share it?

Probably go on up there and help 'em out.

[ laughing ]

Hey, Tramp.

Hmm?Why don't you come with me!

No, I...

Well, sure! Why not?

There's nothing holding you here, is there?

You're your own man, aren't you?

Ain't finished cutting out them yearlings yet.

Yeah. Yeah, them yearlings.

You're in a rut, you know it?

Oh, no, I'm all right. I'm just...

I'm just tired, that's--

No, more than than. I know you, boy.

You can't stand being locked up,

and this is one big jail.

And here comes the warden.

Trampas, you do it on purpose, or you just gone stupid?

Wait a minute. What are you talking about?

Somebody left the gate open on the corral,

and half those yearlings have gone back to the herd.

I didn't leave your gate open.

Well, somebody did.

I naturally figured it was you,

seeing as how you've had your hands full with that colt.

Well, somebody don't mean me!

Let's quit arguing about it and start keeping the gate closed.

Now, you and Milford get on back out to the herd.

Separate those calves again, and make sure this is the last time!

Now, just a minute. What are you riding me for?

I do my job.

I'm not riding you any farther than I'm riding anybody else.

They can just take it better, that's all.

I can take it a lot better than anybody else.

Got something on your mind?

I got a lot of things on my mind!

This job, and... a lot of things.

Now, just slow down.

I don't know what you got in your craw,

but if it's something I'm responsible for--

You're sticking in my craw.

You with your hurry up, do this,

close the gate, open the gate, your colt...

I'm fed up.

You're finished?

Yeah!

Yeah, I'm finished.

Do you have to have that steak tonight?

Heck, no.

Daisy'll be a little disappointed, but I think--

Good, we're going.

You can take your colts and your ranch

and your job and you know what you can do with them.

You don't want to do anything you'll be sorry for.

From now on, I'm not gonna be sorry for anything.

Maybe you and I better have a private talk.

No, no thanks. I'm tired of your private talks.

So long, Randy.

You can have my beans.

I quit.

Yeehaw!

[ sighs ]

You know, I feel...

Good. Sure you do.

No, I mean, I feel real good.

[ chuckles ]

You know, I had a dream last night.

Mm?

You know what I dreamt?

I dreamt I did leave that gate open,

and when the Virginian called me on it,

I looked right at him and I...

I laughed.

Do you good. I know.

That gate.

Well, maybe we'd better get moving, huh?

No rush. Deadwood'll wait.

Yeah.

Hey, Luke, you remember that gal in St. Louis?

Which one?

The one with the, uh...

Mary Lou. Mary Lou.

Didn't her old man come from Deadwood?

I think so.

He ran the saloon.

That's right!

Maybe we can, uh, look him up, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, but, uh, there's no rush.

Oh, no. No rush.

Deadwood'll wait.

Oh!

Oh!

It's been a long time since I've had a town like this!

Well, it's not Chicago, but...

It ain't Medicine Bow, either.

Man, look at that!

What'll we do first?

I don't know.

We could find ourselves a hotel.

Yo. We could look around a while.

Yeah.I could buy you a drink.

And I could buy you one!

We got ourselves a problem.What's the problem?

With all these saloons in this town,

It's gonna take us a long time to find Mary Lou's old man!

Yeah, well, there's no rush.

No rush?

[ piano playing ]

Whoo-hoo!

Howdy!

Hey, there!

Hey, Tramp, you know what this is?

No, what?Livin'!

Livin'!Is that what it is.

Pardon me.Excuse me.

Howdy!Howdy!

Whiskey.Right.

Uh, hey. Ahem.

You don't happen to have a daughter by the name of Mary Lou?

I hope not.

Well, gonna have to keep looking.

Ladies, allow me to, uh...

Allow-- allow me--

Allow me!

Lucius, you have lost your touch.

You could do better?

I couldn't do worse.

Uh, who are they?

The redhead's Irmette and the other's Mina,

and I'd let it stay that way.

Private property.

Private property?

You know, anytime someone says that to me, I always--

That's a dumb thing for somebody to say,

especially to us.

Shall we?

Why not? Oh, wait a minute.

Irmette and Mina look like they have expensive tastes.

Well, we've got, uh, $61.

Well, that's splendid, for a start.

Um... Yo.

Uh-oh.

Howdy.

Mm... right.

Hey! How you doing?

Not bad. You?

Pretty well.

Pretty well? Honey, you're doing fine.

Where's he going?

What's the matter with him?

He just folded, mister, that's all.

But he didn't drop $20.

I thought he owned a claim. Where's all his gold?

Next time you see an Indian, ask him.

You see, honey, the federals put in a new law--

you can't prospect for gold on Indian territory.

That's where most of it is, Sioux country.

My office see to it it stays there.

That's gonna make for some mighty rich Indians.

They ain't rich. They don't keep the gold.

Don't do mining or nothing.

Isn't that awful? Such a waste.

Downright uncivilized.

But don't you worry your head, honey.

Somebody'll always take care of you.

Irmette?

Mina, I think we're in for it.

Howdy.

No rush. No rush.

Pardon me.

Ooh.

Pretty good, huh?

Pretty good?

Luke, I haven't been in a fight like that since...

Didn't I tell you we'd have ourselves a time?

Yep, you were right, Lucius.

Ah, this is the life.

What a fight. What a fight.

Luke. What about the money?

Hold on.

It's all right. I got it right here.

You got it?Mm-hmm.

Oh!Look at that.

$286.

[ whistles ] That much?

That's not bad.

How long d'you think it would take you

to pick up money like that,

eh, punching cows, eight or nine months?

Well, like you said, there's all kinds of prospecting out here.

Yeah, but you remember

what the solider boy said about the gold?

Off limits.

Eh, probably isn't any gold out there anyway.

There's gold out there, all right.

Gold, huh?

Mm-hmm. I saw it.

That a fact, you saw it?

Out there in the hills.

You say you saw a lot of gold?

Enough to know there's plenty more.

Well, if there's gold out there,

then how come you're in here

instead of out there mining it?

Good question.

Needed a stake.

Came back up...

The sheriff picked me up for an old hotel bill.

Huh. That's too bad.

Eight dollars.

Eight dollars!

And I know where there's a million, maybe.

[ laughs ]

A million sounds great.

Now if you could only put your hands on $8.

Grab a stake, not much, few supplies.

Then you'd have your million in no time, huh?

That's right. That's right.

This gold of yours, it's not on Indian land?

No, it's not.

There's a new law we heard about--

no prospecting on Sioux territory.

Well, the army does a lot of talking about that law,

but, uh, mostly they look the other way.

Anyhow, uh, this gold is not on Sioux territory.

I checked on it. Ain't on their land.

[ bars rattling ]

Morning.

Morning.Morning.

You boys sleep all right?

Oh, very comfortable, thank you, sir.

Good, good.

Now if you got the wherewithal to pay the damages...

It's, uh, $45 and $2 for putting

your horses up at the livery.

We got the wherewithal.

Fine.

[ humming ]

Well, uh, good luck.

And I hope you hit it big.

I don't need it. I know I will.

[ chuckles ]

Have your breakfast in a couple minutes, Finley.

Oh, that's good. I'm hungry.

There you go, Sheriff. The wherewithal.

Hey, Sheriff, will $8 take care of him, Finley?

Yeah, that's right.

You gonna pay it?

Yo. Deadwood's been good to us.

Sheriff, if we could trouble you for our gunbelts.

Sure.

I want to tell you something.

You boys have had your fun.

I'd appreciate it if you'd keep moving.

Got enough trouble around here as it is

without somebody from the outside coming in.

Don't worry about us, Sheriff.

We'll be as good as gold.

[ chuckles ]

So long.

Tramp? Huh?

What got into you?

I don't know. I just felt sorry for him.

Boy, I got you just in time.

You got "soft touch" written all over you.

Well, easy come, easy go.

Well, what are we gonna do now?

How 'bout breakfast?

Hey, I wonder if Irmette and Mina can cook.

Well, let's find out.

Hey. Hey, hey! Hold on a minute.

Hey, that was a nice thing that you fellas did.

I won't forget it.

That's all right. Good luck again.

Wait! Wait a minute. I-- nobody ever

did anything like this for me before,

and I'd like to show my appreciation.

You can come in with me on the gold.

You mean you'll let us stake you?

Not much.

Split three ways.

All I want is a third.

Well, uh, thanks, Finley,

but we've got things to do.

Hold on, Tramp!

What have we got to do?

Well, the ladies.

Well, they'll keep.

You say you saw the gold?

I saw it, and there's plenty for all of us.

You ever been prospectin'?

No. You?

No.

Want to go in with him?

Do you think there is gold?

Who knows? If there is, fine.

If there isn't, we're out a couple

of hundred dollars a couple of weeks.

Well... all right.

I've never been a millionaire before.

Me neither.

[ laughs ]

I bet we can get used to it.

Well, will you do it?

You made yourself a couple of partners.

Well, that's good!

That's real good.

What'd you say your name was?

Finley.

These ashes are still warm.

Maybe somebody else knows where your gold is.

No, nobody knows.

Maybe a trapper's here, a hunter.

Could it be Indians?

No. This ain't their land, I told ya.

How much farther to go, Finn?

Three, four hours.

Right over those hills.

Uh, there's a creek that cuts through a canyon.

LUKE: Are you sure this is the place?

Lookit.

Well, Tramp, you ready to make your first million?

You bet.

Now, the first thing we gotta do,

we gotta build a rockerbox.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute.

Let's unpack first.

Let's get something to eat.

I'm starved.

Ben, we've been riding all day.

But you don't understand.

We gotta get started. We got--

Ben, we waited this long to become millionaires.

We can wait a little bit longer.

Let's unpack. Let's get some rest.

Tomorrow morning, then we'll get to all that gold.

What do you say?

All right.

I guess I am a little impatient.

I don't blame you, Finn, not at all.

Come on, let's set up camp.

Hey, Luke. Throw me a biscuit.

Ben, you ever make a strike?

No.

I've been looking for nine or ten years.

[ laughs ] That's what I like, is a man who doesn't give up.

'Course, maybe you didn't have anything else to do, eh, Finn?

I had a lot to do. A lot!

Yeah? Like what?

My wife and I near broke our backs down in Missouri,

but we put together a pretty good little farm.

I don't reckon I ever loved anything like I loved that.

But I-I had some back luck,

and, well, I couldn't hold on.

So the banks took it over.

I had the feeling that it was mine.

I worked for it,

but all the time it belonged to them.

I don't guess I...

ever felt at home anywhere since then.

Always wantin' to see...

the sun coming up over my own wheat again.

I promised my wife.

I dream about it.

If I...

If we hit...

I bet I have a big spread,

maybe even 60 or 80 head of cows.

And wheat.

I'm gonna have a couple of fields

that you can't even see across!

For my wife.

I promised her.

She's waiting for me.

Nine, ten years, huh? She still waitin'?

Sure she's waiting.

Think she's like the women you know?

Ben, I'll tell you what to buy women.

You buy them furs and jewels,

a big house with servants.

Yeah.

Maybe even servants,

so she won't even have to lift a finger,

so she...

so she and me can just sit there

by the fire, warm.

You'll see.

It's out there.

All the gold in the world.

There's gold.

[ gunshot ]

Was that you?

Yeah, yeah, I saw a rabbit.

I thought we'd get some fresh meat for a change.

Missed, huh?Eh.

More beans.

You shouldn't fire that gun around here.

Why not?

Just not a good idea.

Who's it gonna bother, Finn?

Nobody, it's just not a good idea.

Well, uh, since we're all up,

might as well get to work.

Not only still eating beans,

we got another ramrod.

Aren't you glad I got you away from all that hard work?

Whoa! Trampas, I--

Now, hold on there!

I'll tell you something.

I'm about ready to say good-bye to the gold...

if there is any gold.

'Morrow. Can't stop now.

Tomorrow. I think you said that yesterday and the day before.

'Morrow. Wait 'n see.

Ben.

Luke.

Ben.

What is it?

Let me see.

Hey, get some water, Luke.

Get some water.

Yeah, hurry up.

Dump in it there real neatly.

Pour it easy, easy, easy.

It's bigger than the other time.

That's enough.

What do you think?

Be careful.

What do you--

Don't drop it.

Careful with it, Finley.

Ben?

Yeah. Yeah.

What?

It's gold? It's gold?

Yes.

Th-th-that's gold?

Yeah.

We found gold.

It's gold!

Hey!We've got gold!

Gold! Gold! Gold!

We found gold!

[ yelling ]

We found gold!

We found gold!

Hey!

We found gold! We found gold!

Hey, we found gold! We got gold!

[ laughing ]

You know, I can see me coming back to Shiloh.

Oh, what a day that's gonna be.

I'm gonna buy the Judge

a whole case of good sipping whiskey, you know?

And Randy?

Whew! And Randy, I'm gonna buy him

some new strings for his guitar.

Well, heck no, I'm gonna buy him a whole new guitar.

[ both laughing ]

And the Virginian...

I'm gonna buy him

a pearl-handled, diamond-studded whip.

A whip?![ laughing ]

I never figured you'd go back to Shiloh.

Oh, you know, Luke, just--

just for a visit,

to show off a little.

Hey, Finn?

You've been awful quiet.

Have been, ever since we hit it.

I guess maybe it's 'cause I've been looking so long.

Bet you can't wait to get back to see your wife.

She's sure gonna be surprised.

I never figured it would happen.

Finding the gold?

Striking it rich.

You know, all the years of drifting around,

waiting for that big, once-in-a-lifetime chance.

I never figured it would happen.

Oh, I saw a lot of guys make it.

There was a kid who lived next door to me.

Uh, he was, uh...

He...

There was nothing special about him.

He owns a city block in Chicago now.

I always thought I'd miss out.

Ah, look, you never cared that much.

Easy come, easy go. That's him.

I care. I just never figured it would happen.

It's happened now, though.

I still can't believe it.

[ laughing ]

Real gold.

Yeah.

[ laughing ]

Real gold.

It'd be funny if it wasn't.

Hey, maybe it's fool's gold.

Shut up.

Oh, I was just kidding with you.

Well, now, you said we gotta get used to it.

Easy.

They're even bigger than the others.

[ hoofbeats ]

Trampas.

[ click ]

[ click ]

Hello.

I seen you camping from up on the hill there.

My horse has pulled up lame.

Got something stuck in his hoof.

Thought maybe you might have something to help me get it out.

Uh, yeah. I think so.

Hold on a minute.

Here, try this.

Yeah, these nippers ought to do it.

Whoa, baby.

Come on, Danny boy.

You, uh, having any luck?

No. No luck at all.

Well, no more of this gold digging for me.

I done tried it twice.

It ain't for me.

I'm going back to Montana.

Well, reckon that ought to do it.

Well, 'spect I'll be on my way.

Thanks.

And, uh, good luck.

Thanks again!

I don't like it.

You believe he's telling the truth?

I don't know.

Might come sneaking back tonight,

three of us sleeping.

Maybe we ought to take a little turn at guard duty.

I'm gonna make sure our friend

keeps heading for Montana.

Is he gone?

Luke?

I could've just shot him.

Maybe save us a lot of trouble.

Come on, let's get back to work.

[ neighing ]

I had to.

He had a bow in his hand.

I thought he was gonna...

Better go get a shovel and bury him.

I'll do it.

I'll bury him.

Ben, we're on Indian land.

It's true, isn't it?Yes.

I knew it.

I knew it all along.

I didn't say anything because...

'cause I wanted the gold, too.

When you're looking for gold, nothing else matters.

Now you know what it's like, too.

Luke, let's pack up and leave.

Leave?

What good's gold gonna do us

with a Sioux arrow in our back...

or a sentence in the penitentiary?

Might be making sense.

Gold's just about run out, anyway.

Oh, why don't we, uh, finish up today?

Get a good rest tonight, take off tomorrow morning.

We'll need all the rest we can get.

Remember who's waiting for us in Deadwood.

All right, we'll leave in the morning.

[ gun clicks ]

What's the matter?

Somebody's gonna be looking for that Indian.

[ neighs ]

It's getting late, Luke.

Yeah, sure, sure, but we can't leave now.

[ gunshot ]

Up there on the cliffs.

There's rocks to the right.

You circle around. I'll go left.

Whoa.

Looks like he got away.

Yeah, left us some empty cartridges.

Well, maybe he's still up here.

Biding his time.

Letting us fill gold sacks for him.

Come on, Luke. Let's get back.

I heard shots.

Everything all right?

Yeah, somebody's taking some shots at us.

Could've been the man with the lame horse or anybody,

though he doesn't seem to be around anymore.

You weren't here.Huh?

You weren't here when the shots were fired.

No, I wasn't.

Finley, these cartridges.

They could've fit into your rifle. What?

They could fit anybody's rifle.

I was downstream the other way.

I wouldn't do that.

I couldn't kill anybody.

Nobody.

Not even an Indian.

I'm not talking about an Indian!

Luke!

I'm talking about you!Luke!

You could've circled around those hills.

I don't care which way you started out.

Now, look, wait a minute.Wait for what?

It's what he had in mind from the start,

getting us to stake him, do his digging for him,

and then sneaking up behind us!

I'm gonna fix you so that you--Luke!

Luke, now, come on.

That's not true!

Of course it's not true!

Luke, what's the matter with you?

Look, I don't want the gold.

You two can have my share.

I don't want the gold!

Ten years of looking and you don't want it?

You expect us to believe that?

I'll go. You can have it all.

Oh, you'll go, you'll go! No, Luke!

And come back tonight when we're sleeping!

No! I don't want the gold!

No? What about the big house, the servants for the wife?

Can't go back there without the gold.

You can't buy a house without--

I can't buy her anything! My wife is dead!

S-she died ten years ago. I killed her.

You killed her?

Killed her.

I left her when she was sick and hungry.

[ stutters ]

And while I was looking for this, she died.

So I don't need the gold.

I wouldn't know what to do with it.

Uh, Finn? Uh...

Okay, I believe you.

Talked out of turn.

Nobody's getting this gold.

Now, Luke.

Luke, if we're gonna leave in the morning,

we ought to get started now, don't you think?

Hey. Hey, Luke!

You know, uh, when we get to Deadwood,

there's gonna be a couple ladies

mighty glad to see us.

There's still gold in there.

Look, there's a... a river full.

A fortune.

Luke, l-l-let's sift out what we got now

and let's get out of here, huh?

Go? Now?

You're crazy.

No, Luke, I'm talking sense.

I'm not going anywhere.

Hey. What are you doing?

I'm leaving.

Taking my share of what we've already found and I'm leaving.

It costs too much, Luke. Look at you.

Costs too much.

You're not going, Tramp.

Aw, Luke--

Now, listen I-I, I can't take any chances.

What do you think I'm going to do,

circle around and kill you?

Well, no. No, no. I don't think that.

You might spoil everything.

You might... leave a trail in the desert

or start showing the gold or shoot your mouth off in town.

I don't know, I just can't take any chances.

Don't!

Don't move.

I mean it.

I--

Finley, take his gun.

Come on, take his gun! Don't make me kill him.

Who you gonna kill now, Luke?

[ gunshots ]

Tramp, sorry.

Here.No.

Good for your head.

Come on.

Look, I'm gonna have my gold!

You know what this means?

Do you?

It means no more scrounging,

that's what it means.

It means...

no more two-bit scores.

No more rube sheriffs tossing you across a county line.

I'll be free.

Really free.

Luke, one man's dead. You almost killed another.

Listen, boy, this gold's taking me home!

Chicago!

[ laughing ]

Yeah.

I'm gonna buy me my own city block.

You know what it's like to be poor,

dirty, begging, hungry poor.

See, I...

I could buy anything now.

Power. Success. Respect.

[ inhales deeply ]

[ shatters ]

[ clank ]

Get him.

He got away.Where?

[ sarcastically ] I don't know.

He'll be back, Luke, with more of them.

Let's go.

We'll take him with us,

just in case we run into any of his friends.

All right?

Cut the pack horses loose. Load the gold.

Cut him loose so he can move.

Long way from Chicago, isn't it, Luke?

Cut him loose.

You said you wanted to leave, didn't you?

What are you gonna do with him?

Let him go when we get outta here.

Lake Michigan. Maybe I'll buy it for myself. Mine!

[ laughing ]

Eh, Tramp, we'll have ourselves a time!

Come on, you were acting like a kid. I had--[ gunshot ]

Luke, over here in the boulders.

Tramp!

Come on.

[ gunshots ]

Down there across the valley

is the territory border.

Can't be much more than a mile.

We made it, Trampas.

I don't think so.

We've got your brave.

You see? Your brave!

Watch at the sides.

We don't want any trouble.

No trouble.

Only want to pass.

The gold.

Give it to them, Luke.

It's mine!

I'm not giving them any of my gold.

Now, you just move over there,

'cause we're coming on through.

We've got your Indian boy, understand?

Now get out of the way, or there'll be one dead brave!

Luke, Luke, listen. Listen.

Let me go. Stay where you are.

I'll kill if I have to.

I believe you would.

I'm gonna have mine.

You understand?

I'm gonna have mine!

Luke!

Heh.

You had to...

Tramp... I just never got the hang of it.

Luke, take it easy.

No, it--

It happened.

Before the gold.

A long time ago.

I...

Did I ever tell you about the...

girl in Chicago?

The one I never kissed?

Trampas, I-I'm sorry I got you into it.

No, Finn, it...

I guess we got ourselves into it.

Anyway, you knew where to find the gold.

I knew where to look.

And that, uh, that key.

That belong to your place?

Yeah, I kept it.

I don't know why.

I got no use for it.

Well.

So long.

Uh, Finn.

I got a little cash from before. You--

No, no. No thanks.

I don't need it.

Hey, Trampas. Where you goin'?

Well, I'm leaving.

Why in a hurry?

Oh, I'm in no hurry.

Why don't you come inside and talk over old times?

Sorry, uh...

I'm fresh out of old times.

Ma'am.

Howdy.

I, uh...

I was wondering if you could use another hand.

I had some yearlings to cut out a while back.

It's all done now.

Any colts you want broke?

Food's not much.

Hard work, long hours in the sun, lots of dust.

Not much pay.

Put your stuff in the bunkhouse.

I guess you can find a place.

Yeah. I reckon I can.
