All language subtitles for The Virginian - 07x21 - Eileen

Whoa.

[ Grunts ]

Good morning, Mr. Grainger.Morning.

Come to meet someone?No, Charlie.

I just drove into town
to watch the train
come in.

[ Chuckles ]
Ah, she oughta be here
any minute now.

Well, that's fine.

Got held up at the ranch
a little. I was afraid
it might be on time for once.

[ Laughs ] [ Train Whistle Blowing ]

Well, she almost is.

[ Steam Hissing ]

Uncle Clay.

Eileen!
[ Laughs ]

I wouldn't have recognized you.
Where are your pigtails?

I got rid of those
about 10 years ago.

Well, I must say,
it's an improvement.

I always knew you'd grow up
to be a pretty girl,
but I had no idea-- Well--

Thank you. Oh, you
haven't changed a bit.Well, thank you.

That's nice to hear
even if it isn't true.
How's your father?

Oh, he's just fine.
Said to give you his best.How was the trip?

It was good.
I'll feel a lot better
after I've had a hot bath.

Well, that'll be
the first thing
on the agenda.

[ Clears Throat ]
Here we are.

I tried to talk your father
into moving to Wyoming.

He thought his roots
were too deep in Nebraska.Well, Mother's buried there.

I guess that's enough
to make him stay,
aside from anything else.

She was a lovely woman.

You look very much
like her.Thank you.

Uh, how much did Daddy
tell you in his letters...

about me?

Well, we're pretty old friends,
your father and I.

He told you then.

Well, we don't need
to have a reason
to want you to visit us.

You know that.

Ho.

Yep, nothing like
stringing wire to
build up a man's appetite.

I didn't notice you working
all that hard.Well, I didn't wanna show off.

Figured maybe that mustache
was weighing you down.

Coming right along,
isn't it? Huh? Huh?

Who's that with Mr. Grainger?Didn't you get the word?
We got a visitor.

- Daughter
of an old friend of his.
- [ Whistles ] Sure is pretty.

How can you tell
from here?

Instinct.[ Laughs ]

Whoa. Well,
this is Shiloh.

[ Sighs ]
No wonder you wrote
about it so glowingly.

[ Clay ]
Boys, come and meet
our guest.

[ Virginian ] How do, ma'am?My foreman,
and that's Trampas.

Miss Eileen Linden.

How do you do?
Welcome to Shiloh.

Thank you.
I already feel at home.

Elizabeth around?

I don't know.
We just came in.

Well, she's probably
up at the house.

See you again, I hope.

You were right.
She is pretty.

Yep. My instinct
never lets me down.

And I'll tell you something
else about my instinct.

It tells me that I'm gonna
take her to the dance
Saturday night.

Sorry Holly isn't here
to greet you.

But her sister took sick,
and she went to help
take care of her.

She'll be here
next week though.

Elizabeth!

Coming!

I've been looking forward
to meeting you for so long.

Well, it's nice
to be here.

Well, show her
to her room.Come on.

I just finished
tidying it up.
I hope you like it.

I'm sorry I brought
so much luggage.

Don't worry.
Elizabeth would have
brought twice as much.

Uncle Clay![ Laughs, Grunts ]

Here we are.

This is lovely.Oh, yeah.

[ Clears Throat ]
I'll put these down
over here, yeah.

Well, make yourself
at home. See you later.

Thank you,
Uncle Clay.

I hope you won't be
too bored here.

There isn't much to do,
unless you like to ride.Oh, I do.

Oh, good. We'll go out
right after lunch.

Oh, and there's
a dance in town
next Saturday night.

They're usually
pretty good fun.

At least you'll get
to meet everybody right at
the beginning of your visit.

Don't feel you have
to entertain me.Well, I don't.

But who knows,
maybe you'll meet
someone you like.

Well, there's nothing
like a beau to make
the summer more enjoyable.

What I mean is,
I'm not looking for a beau.

Have you got one
back home?

Yes.Are you engaged?

Not officially,
but we hope to be.Well, I don't understand.

If you both hope
to be engaged,
what's stopping you?

My father.
[ Sighs ]

I might as well tell you.
Your uncle knows
all about it,

but I guess he thought
it was supposed to be
a secret.

That's the trouble with men.
They keepsecrets.

Daddy doesn't approve
of the man I'm in love with.

He got us to promise
not to see each other
for six weeks...

in hopes that
I'll come to my senses,
as he puts it.

Out of sight,
out of mind.

Well, that's what he'd
like to have happen.

But he said if we still
feel the same way after
the trial separation's over,

he'd withdraw
his objections.

It's gonna be
a long six weeks.

That's what I thought
until I got here.

Now I think
I'm gonna enjoy myself.Good.

Oh, I'm sorry I brought up
the dance. They're not
really that much fun.

We'll have as good a time
staying home.

That wouldn't be fair
to you. I'll go,

just as long
as we both understand
I'm not looking for a beau.

No beau.
Just an escort, right?Right.

Is he the one
with the mustache?If you could call it that.

He's been trying
to grow it for a week.

- I thought it was
kind of cute.
- So does he.

Anyway, he hasn't
asked me yet.

Oh, he will.

I'd say by... 12:30.

- Did he say he was going to?
- He didn't have to. I know him.

Oh, excuse me.

[ Elizabeth ]
Coming.

[ Knocking ]Coming.

Hello.Hi.

Come on in.

Uh, I have something
to ask your houseguest.

She's upstairs.
Eileen!

Yes?Trampas would like
to see you.

Be right down.

Are you sure
I can't help you?

Well, it's-- it's personal.

Oh.

Aren't you afraid
you're gonna rub that off?

Still don't like it, huh?

I'm getting used to it.

Hi, Trampas.Howdy.

Trampas wants to
ask you something.Oh?

Yes, ma'am. Uh--

[ Clears Throat ]
Well, I was--
I was thinking...

that you want a horse
to ride while you're here,
don't you?

Oh, I suppose so.

Well, uh, I was just think--
wondering before
I cut one out,

how well you rode.

I mean, do you want
a nice spirited horse
or a gentle mare or--

Oh, well,
whatever you can spare.

Well, now,
we got all kinds.

Well, I thought Uncle Clay
had decided on Breezy.

As a matter of fact,

I thought I heard him
tell you so yesterday.

By golly, you're right.
Well, Breezy it is.

Uh--

Oh, uh, by the way,
did Elizabeth tell you about
the social life around here?

Oh, she said
there wasn't too much.Not too much? You--

You didn't tell her
about the dance
Saturday night?

Come to think of it,
I think she did mention
something about that.

Well, the way I see it, as soon
as the word gets out Elizabeth's
got a pretty houseguest,

every fella within a hundred
miles will come knocking
at this door...

asking you to go
to the dance with 'em.

Now, I think it will make it
a lot easier for you
to get rid of them...

if you tell them
you already have a date.But I haven't.

Well, now I can take care
of that little detail for you.

- You can tell them
you're going with me.
- I'd love to.

[ Chuckles ]
Well--

Trampas, what time is it?

Huh?What time is it?

Oh. It's, uh,
20 past 12:00.

Ten minutes to spare.

- Spare for what?
- Oh, it's not important.

Oh. Well, I'll, uh--

I'll go saddle Breezy.

Bye-bye.

[ Both Laughing ]

[ Sighing ]
Oh.

[ Horse
Approaching ]

[ Blusters ]

Hi.Howdy.
Looking for somebody?

Foreman around?You're talking to him.

Can't get any luckier
than that. Figured you
might need a good cowhand.

We can always use a good hand.
Somebody send you,
or are you just drifting?

Uh, just drifting.

Pay $30 a month,
room and board.

It's a living.
When do I start?

- Right now if you like.
- Fine.

Empty bunk inside. Put your
saddle roll on it. Then you can
ride out to the range with me.

All right, boss.

Howdy.

Have a good ride?Oh, we did.

I feel like Breezy and I
are old friends.

- He's a good horse, all right.
- [ Door Slams ]

All set, boss.

[ Virginian ]
Let's go.

[ Elizabeth ]
Harper.

Shall we go up
to the house?

Are you all right?

Oh.

I-I guess I was just
a little dizzy for a minute.

Well, maybe we did
too much for the first day.

No, I'm all right now.

[ Crickets Chirping ]

That's right.
[ Laughs ]

You're not eating
very much, Eileen.
You like something else?

No, this is--
This is just fine. I--

I'm just not very hungry.

Well, probably take
a day or two for you
to become acclimated.

Then if you don't
clean up your plate,
I'll really be worried.

[ Knocking ]Come in.

Mmm.

Sorry. I didn't know
you were eating.Sit down.

I can come back later--Have a cup of coffee.

Oh, thanks.We'll be through
in a minute.

How's that new man
you put on today?

He can ride
and throw a loop.

You don't sound
very enthusiastic.

No reason to be.

Any reason not to be?Not so far.

I guess maybe
I just don't
take to him.

Well, we're only asking him
for an honest day's work,

not to become
a member of the family.

[ Shudders ]
Will you excuse me?

I'm just not feeling
very well.

Would you like me
to come up with you?No, I'll be fine.

I just have to lie down
for a little while.

Anything happen today,
Elizabeth?

Not that I know of.

Maybe she just had
too much sun this afternoon.

That girl was raised
in the sun.

Better keep an eye on her.I will.

Well, shall we
get to work?Yes, sir.

Bring your coffee.

[ Person Whistling ]

[ Whistling Continues ]

[ Mouthing Words ]

[ Knocking ]

Can I do anything
for you?

Oh, no, thanks.
It's just a headache.

Well, if you want something,
I'll be in my room.

Thank you.

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

[ Murmurs ]

Peter, you shouldn't
have come here.

I couldn't stay away.We gave our word.

Yeah, at gunpoint.
Well, it was the same thing.

That doesn't make
any difference. This isn't
right, and you know it.

It's the promise
that he made us make
that isn't right.

Listen to me, huh?
Sit down.

Listen. Look, now
we're not children.

Now, what right has he
got to make us play
some childish game?

Peter--No, no, no. Let me talk.

I knew the minute I said
good-bye to you that last night
that it wouldn't work.

Why should two people who love
each other be separated
for six long weeks?

Because we promised. Doesn't
that mean anything to you?

You mean a lot more.

No.Marry me. Now. Tonight.

We can ride in
to Medicine Bow.No, Peter, I couldn't do that.

Hmm.

You know,
I thought you loved me.

Oh, I do.
You know that.

Well, then?

I just don't want our marriage
to be a-- a runaway--
something furtive,

as if we're ashamed
of what we're doing.

Well, as long
as weknow better, now,
what difference does it make?

It does make
a difference to me.

All I know is that each day
without you is like a month.

I want to be with you.
Don't you understand?

I love you.

But it won't be long.

All Father asked
was six weeks.

What's that compared to the rest
of our lives together?

[ Scoffs ]

To me, six weeks
is forever.

[ Exhales ]
If he found out,

or if Mr. Grainger found out,
I'd be sent someplace else.

[ Laughs ]
I don't--

I don't care if they
send you around the world.
I'll follow...

just to see your face,

to hear your voice.

I better go.Tomorrow night.

Peter--I'll be waiting for you.

Peter, we shouldn't
see each other again.
We made a bargain.

Look, we'll talk it over,
and we'll decide what to do.

[ Sighs ]
I don't know.

Wait.

[ Footsteps ] [ Door Opens ]

[ Sighs ]

You gonna
take in that dance
Saturday night?

Sure thing.I'll go with you.

No, you won't.
I got a much prettier date.

Who? Liz's houseguest.
Real nice girl.

How'd you manage
to get a date with her?

Well, I gave the matter
a lot of thought.

Then I finally figured
how it might work out.

I asked her.

Morning.

Well, good morning.
You're up early.

Oh, I thought I'd take
a ride before breakfast.

Oh. I take it
you're feeling better.

I guess all I needed
was a good night's sleep.

Where's Elizabeth?I didn't want
to wake her up.

Mmm. Well, don't get lost.

I won't.

[ Mooing ]

[ Calf Bawling ]

[ Cattle Mooing ]

[ Bawling ]

[ Mooing ]

Eileen.

Hi.

Come on.

Peter, someone
might see us.

- There's nobody else around.
- But you can't be sure.

Well, what difference
does it make?

If you can go out with one
cowhand, you can at least
talk to another one.

Or wasn't I supposed
to know about that?

- I guess I wasn't.
- Peter, wait.

Wait.

I thought that'd get you
off your high horse.

Peter, that wasn't fair.Anything's fair
in love and war.

And this is just
a little of both.

Then you're not really jealous
about my going to the dance
with Trampas?

It'll be a cold day
in July when I'm jealous
of that cowpoke.

Besides, I'll be there
to keep an eye on you.

You won't be here, Peter.
You've got to leave.

Now look, we've been
all through that.And I still feel the same way.

What we're doing
is cheap and dishonest.

It couldn't be that
you're just trying to get me
out of the way, could it?

Peter, you know better
than that.

Well, how do I?Please.

If you loved me, you'd want
to get married as much as I do.

That doesn't have anything
to do with it.

It's got everything
to do with it.
It's as simple as that.

Now, I'm not going to stand
here and argue with you.

Either you leave or I do.

Now wait a minute.Let me go.

No, honey. Not like this.Peter, let me go.

Not when you're angry.Well, I'm not angry.

I-I will be
if you don't stop this.

[ Eileen ]
Don't.

Peter, let me go.

Don't, Peter. Peter--

Stop it. Stop!

Stop!

[ Gasps ]
Trampas, don't!

- [ Groans ]
- Stop it!

- Leave him alone!
- Come on! Get up!

Peter,
are you all right?

[ Groans ]Are you all right?

[ Groans ]

[ Panting ]
You think
he'll tell Grainger?

I don't know.
I don't know what to think.

I just feel so cheap
and ashamed.

What do you care
what that cowhand thinks?
It's Grainger I'm worried about.

If he found out about us,
I don't know what I'd do.

I think I-- I better go
before someone else
comes along.

Well, wait a minute.Good-bye, Peter.

We can't leave it
like this.

Wait. Look.

We'll talk it over tonight
and settle it once and for all.

Come-- You owe me that.

8:30.
I'll be waiting for you.

Might as well get a room.
We might be here for a while.

- I've seen towns I like better.
- You don't have to like it.

Suppose he doesn't
come into town?

He will.

What makes you so sure?

I know him.

Oh, Trampas.Ma'am.

Oh, Trampas, please wait.

I know what you
must think of me, but--
[ Sighs ]

I just can't explain
everything. Not yet.

I just wanted you to know
that it wasn't what
you thought out there.

Well, like the foreman says,
I'm not paid to think.

Let me take
your horse for you.

Please, Trampas.

You're not making it
very easy for me.I'm listening.

He's someone I know
from back home. He--

[ Sighs ]
Well, he followed
me here, and--

I love him,
and he loves me.

As soon as we can,
we're gonna be married.
I just wanted you to know that.

You didn't have to tell me that.
I wasn't going to say anything.

That's not why I told you.
Please believe that.

Excuse me.

What are you doing inside
on a beautiful morning
like this?

Your houseguest was up
at the crack of dawn.

She's not my guest.

Don't tell me you two
have had a fight already.

No, of course not.

We just don't have
to spend every minute
of the day together.

I thought you'd like
a little female companionship.

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

You sure you didn't have
an argument or something?I told you, no.

Please, Uncle Clay.
Can't you just
leave us alone?

Sorry.

Good morning.Good morning.

Your door was closed
when I got up. I didn't
want to disturb you.

Did you have a good ride?

Very nice.
Would you like
to come in and talk?

I have a couple of things
I have to do in my room. Please?

I have to talk to someone.

What's wrong?Everything.

You remember I told you about
that boy from back home I wasn't
supposed to see this summer?

He's here.At Shiloh?

He just showed up.
I didn't know
anything about it...

till I saw him yesterday
when we came back from our ride.

Was he the one you
were with last night?Yes.

You saw us?Oh, Eileen,
I certainly did.

It's nothing
to be happy about.Oh, well, I'm sorry.

I just-- Well, I didn't
know who he was,

and when I saw you
out there with him--

You thought I was sparking
with some cowhand
I'd just met?

I didn't know
what else to think.

I wish it was
as simple as that.

What are you gonna do?

Well, he wants us to run away
and get married.

I don't want
to do it that way,

not after the promise
we both made.

You told me that you didn't
just promise not to run away
and get married.

You promised
not to see him at all.

I've gotta see him
once more. Tonight.

If he won't leave then,
I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Maybe Uncle Clay can help.

I'd rather not bring him
into it unless I have to.

I had to tell someone.

I'm glad you did.So am I.

I couldn't have both you
and Trampas thinking--Trampas?

I ran into Peter out
on the range this morning.
Trampas saw us.

He thought the same thing
you did.

He and Peter had a fight.

I had to tell Trampas
who Peter was.

You can trust Trampas.

The only one
I'm not sure of is myself.

I do love Peter,
and I do want to marry him.

It's just I--
I'm disappointed in him.

Does that
sound strange? Not at all.

And stop worrying about it.

I'm sure you're gonna be able
to work it all out tonight.

I hope so.

Now, on to more
important things.

I want to show you a pattern
I just got from Kansas City.
Come on.

Everyone's gonna tell me
the neckline's too low,
but I want you to see it.

I think
it's absolutely perfect.

[ Door Closes ]

[ Crickets Chirping ]

Yes, sir,
those were the days.

Your father and I
shared many an adventure
when we were young men.

So I've heard from him.Well, now, I hope
you haven't heard too much.

Don't worry.
He's very discreet.[ Laughs ]

Come on into the living room.
I got some pictures
I want to show you.

Your father as a young man.Uncle Clay, we were
gonna go for a walk.

This'll just take a minute.

[ Men Chattering ]

Gonna have a beer.

Come on, Trampas, before
they drink up all the beer.

Be right with you.

[ Door Closes ]

[ Horses Departing ]

[ Clay ]
Have you seen this one? [ Eileen ] I don't believe so.

[ Elizabeth ]
He was handsome, wasn't he?

Yeah. And here's one
of the two of us.

You were handsome too.Thank you, my dear.

Even if you did put it
in the past tense.

What I meant was,
you were handsome then,

and now you're
distinguished looking.Hmm.

Well, you got out
of that very nicely.

Well, how about our walk?Here's something else
I want to show you.

Your father gave
that set to Holly and me
as a wedding present.

Oh, it's beautiful.Do you play chess?

Not very well.Well, we'll soon
find out. Sit down.

Not now, Uncle Clay.
We want to go for a walk.You can do that later.

I want to find out just
how well Jud Linden taught
his daughter to play chess.

I can't give you
much of a game.Well, that doesn't matter.

I haven't had anybody
to play with since Holly left.

Uncle Clay--You two can be
together all day.

Now, you can spare her
a few minutes while I teach her
the fine points of the game.

[ Sighs ]
Your move.

♪♪ [ Playing Notes ]Elizabeth.

[ Creaking ]

Checkmate.

[ Sighs ]
You win.[ Chuckles ]

Don't worry.
We'll sharpen up your game
before the summer's over.

Now you can take that walk
I've been hearing
so much about.

Come on.Thank you for the game,
Uncle Clay.

Next time,
I'll beat ya.[ Chuckles ]

I'll wait here
while you talk to him.

Well, I hope you don't
get in trouble
with your uncle.

Well, I said I was
gonna take a walk, so I'll
take a walk right here.

I won't be long.

Peter?

Peter?

Peter?

That was quick.He wasn't there.

Well, it is getting
pretty late.

He probably thought
you weren't able
to make it.

[ Chattering ]

Drink up.
Next round's on me.Hmm?

Drink up.
Next round is on me.No. I pass.

You feel all right?Well, sure,
I feel all right.

I just don't want
another beer.
That's all.

Fill her up, Bart.Right.

Whiskey.

Leave the bottle.

That new hand, Bowers,
just came in.

Should I ask him
to join us for a drink?

No.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door Closes ]

What's your hurry?

I got a friend over there.You got a friend here too.

What'll you have?Um--

- Champagne?
- [ Chuckles ]

Strictly
first-class, huh? Mmm.

- Champagne for my new friend.
- Champagne comin' up.

You're right.
Should I get him?

Wait.

I think
I'm gonna like you.

We'll get along
just fine.[ Chuckles ]

How late do you have
to hang around here?

That all depends.

I think I'll check out.Stick around a while.
It's early.

Ah, it's gettin' later
all the time.

You gonna pay for
that champagne, friend?

Sure I am.
I always pay my debts.

Remember that, Trampas.

If you got
anything on your mind,
you go ahead and do it.

Anytime, anyplace.

[ Bottle Slams ]

[ Chattering ]I'll bet a dollar.

[ Coin Clatters ]

I'm not looking
for any trouble.

[ Chuckles ]
Where are you going?

[ Doors Clatter ]Killjoy.

You sure know how
to have a good time
when you come to town.

Thanks.

What are you doing here?
You didn't have to follow me.

Looks like it's a good idea
that we did.

Hello, Romeo.

I thought you were supposed
to be romancing that rich
girlfriend of yours,

not some 10-cent saloon girl.

I am.
You gotta believe me.

I don't have to
believe anything till I see
that money you owe me.

Look, I told you before,

as soon as Eileen and I
get married,

I'll be able to get my hands
on plenty of money--
more than I owe you.

It just takes time.

You're running out of time,
I'd say.

Wouldn't you? Yeah, I'd say.

I don't like this place.

[ Sighs ]
It's all set.

So just quit
crowding me.

[ Groans ]

Don't get fresh,
kid.

Why would she want
to marry you anyway?

[ Groans ]
She will, I promise.

Just give me one more day.

One day. That's all.

And after this,
don't get in over your head.

Stick to them two-bit games,
where you belong.

Now on your way.

Think he'll make it?

He'd better.

Trampas.Morning.

Have the men left
for the range yet?

Most of them.Oh.

Uh, I guess this is
as good a time as any...

to apologize for the way
I acted yesterday...

when you were trying
to explain you and Bowers.

Well, I'm the one who should
apologize for letting you
think out there that--

Good morning.

Sir Galahad making
a little time for himself
by carrying tales?

I bet he couldn't wait
to tell you all about it.

Probably had her
all picked out for himself
until I came along.

Believe me, she didn't
mean a thing. She was just
somebody to talk to.

That's all there was to it,
no matter what he told you.

He didn't tell me anything.

I don't believe it.
Now, what--
Eileen, wait a minute.

I thought--I know what
you thought, Peter.

Look, there wasn't
anything to it, I swear.

I was sore
when you stood me up.I couldn't get away.

I tried, but I couldn't.Well, I didn't know that.

I had a couple of drinks
in the saloon, and I bought one
for one of the girls.

That's all there was to it--
one drink and a little talk.

Look, you believe me,
don't you?

Yes.

Then everything's
all right.

Everything's
not all right, Peter!

Eileen! Bowers.

Thought I told you
to work the north meadow.

What was that
all about?Wouldn't know.

Wouldn't know,
or wouldn't want
to tell me?

Little of both.

I know I should have
told you right away,
but--

Well, I just didn't
know what to do.

You were in
on it too, huh?Yes, sir.

I wish you had
told me right away.

But the important thing is,
what are you going to do now?

I'm gonna do exactly
what Father told me to do--

send Peter
away and not see him again
until the time we agreed on.

- You still love him?
- Yes.

You don't sound
too positive.

[ Sighs ]
I'm just
a little disappointed.

You mean about his conduct
last night in town?

No, about
his coming here at all.

I don't condone it,

but then
a young man in love...

doesn't always act
in the most rational manner.

Do I have your permission
to see him once more
to tell him he has to leave?

As long as
it's gone this far,

I don't suppose one more time
would make it any worse.

[ Sighs ]
You'll have
to tell Father, of course.

When your father sent you here,
he made you my responsibility,

the same as
Elizabeth would be to him
if the situation were reversed.

I'll have to give it
some thought, Eileen.

That's about all
I can say right now.

Well, whatever you do
is all right with me.

I'm just
so sorry I turned out
to be such a problem.

[ Chuckles ]

You're no problem.
Sometimes growing up is.

And that includes you.

There was nothing
I could do.

He got to her first.

He built last night
into a big thing.
You know how women are.

You're not gonna marry her
tonight or any other time.

Is that what
you're saying?Now, look.

Look. On the--

Look, on my way
into town today,
I was-- I was thinking.

Fact is, I've had something
in the back of my mind for
some time now, just in case.

Like what you want
on your grave marker maybe?
[ Chuckles ]

It better be good, boy.

About $5,000 good.

It is.

And it's a lot easier
than the other way,
believe me.

I'm listening.

Kidnap her.

Well, it-it'll work.

Leave a note for Grainger
to telegraph her old man.

He'll put the money
on the line faster for his kid
than you can pick it up.

Now, you wouldn't
mind that, would you?

Getting it all
in one lump...

even quicker
than you expected.

And what do you
get out of it?

Off the hook with you.

I'll get her out
to the north entrance
of the ranch tonight,

and you be waiting.

Only thing, make it look like
you're taking both of us...

so she won't know
I'm in on it.

Just for old times' sake.

Yeah.

[ Chuckles ]
Something like that.

Besides, with a little time,
she'll still come around.

She'll still marry me.
You'll see.

That's your problem.

We'll need a place
to hide out for a few days.

Well, that shouldn't
be hard to find.

I don't like it. I know.

You'd rather kill him.

But me? I'd rather
have the money.

- Then we got a deal?
- You get her to the gate.
Then we got a deal.

[ Chuckles ]
I'll have her there.

You'll remember--

make it look good.

I will, boy. I will.

[ Door Closes ]

[ Cards Shuffling ]

[ Crickets Chirping ]

Do you think this
will be all right?It'll be perfect.

[ Sighs ] Maybe Trampas
won't want to take me
after all that's happened.

Well, don't worry about that.

Even if he doesn't,
there are plenty
of others who will.

I feel so much better
now that I've told Uncle Clay.

I know what you mean.

I'm not very good
at going around with
a guilty conscience either.

When are you
gonna tell Peter?As soon as I can see him.

I looked for him after I left
Uncle Clay this morning,

but I guess he was out
on the range all day.

Do you want me to go and see
if he's in the bunkhouse?

No, it can wait
till morning.

How do you think he'll take it
when you tell him
he has to leave?

I've already
told him that.

I guess he sensed I wasn't
really a hundred percent sure
I wanted him to leave.

Are you sure now?

Yes. I'm glad.

Well, I guess it's
about time to turn in.

Good night.Good night.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[ Pebble Clatters
Against Window ]

[ Pebble Clatters ]

- [ Mouthing Words ]
- [ Mouthing Words ]

I was afraid he might
have found out about us.Oh, he already has.

I knew Trampas wouldn't
keep his mouth shut.

Trampas didn't
tell him. I did.Why? What'd you do that for?

I just had to.
I couldn't go on
deceiving him any longer.

What'd he say?Well, he was
very understanding.

Yeah. I bet.No, he really was.

He-- Well,
he even said we could--
we could see each other...

so we could
say good-bye.

Do you know something?
I've been doing
a lot of thinking.

And I agree
with both of you.

I shouldn't have come here.

I should have stuck
with the deal we made.

Oh, I was hoping
you'd say that.

I guess I just got
a little mixed up.

I was so afraid
I'd lose you.

But you know better than that.

I should have, but I didn't.

Well,

I guess it's good-bye then
till the summer's over.

Five minutes more?

He couldn't object to that.All right.

You know, I, uh-- I feel
like there are eyes
at every window.

Let's walk up the road.

I've behaved like a heel
ever since I got here.

I guess I always knew
I shouldn't have done it,
and it put me on edge.

Oh, I felt the same way.

Guess we're just not
cut out to be dishonest.

Maybe your father had
the right idea after all.

Do you really
feel that way?

I had some
growing up to do.

When you left, I was
so afraid of losing you,

I couldn't think
of anything else.

I see things
a lot clearer now.

Look, would--
would it be all right
if I kissed you good-bye?

[ Hammer Cocks ]Now be real quiet,
and nobody'll get hurt.

What's this all about?

[ Groans ]

Do as I tell you, miss.
Everything'll be all right.

[ Singsongy ]
Eileen.

Come on, you sleepyhead.

Uncle Clay.

Uncle Clay!

In here.

- Uncle Clay, Eileen's gone.
- What do you mean?

I just looked in her room.
She's gone.

Well, maybe
she got up early.

No, her bed wasn't slept in.
I saw it.

- Are you sure?
- Of course I'm sure.
I was just in her room.

When'd you last see her?

Last night.
We were talking
in her room.

Well, did she say anything
about running away, or--

Just the opposite.
She was the happiest
she's been since she got here.

That doesn't make sense.

Unless she saw Bowers
again after you left...

and he got her
to change her mind.

Well, we'll soon
find out.

"We've got Eileen Linden.

"It will cost $5,000
to get her back.

"Put ad
in Medicine Bow paper...

"when you have money.

We will tell you
where to deliver it."

Mm-hmm. No, I haven't
seen Bowers this morning.
Why?

We found this
on the front door.

Is it true? Is she--

She's gone.
Wasn't in her room
last night.

Think Bowers is in on it?

Well, I did at first.
Now I don't know what to think.

Trampas?

He sent the men
out this morning.
He might have seen him.

Yo?

Where's Bowers?
Do you know?

Uh, he didn't show
this morning. I was just
comin' in to tell you.

Why? Somethin' wrong?

Well, I just learned yesterday
Bowers was Eileen's sweetheart.
That's why he followed her here.

She said she was gonna
tell him to leave.

That note says "we."

Did she mention
anybody else?

- No.
- Wait a minute.

The other night at the saloon,
there were two men
that seemed to know him.

Who were they?

I don't know.
I never seen them before.

- Did you get
a good look at 'em?
- Pretty good.

Enough to recognize them
if I saw 'em again.

Are you gonna telegraph
her father?

No, not yet.

[ Clopping Hooves ]

Want me
to get up a posse?

No, I don't wanna
do anything that's going to
jeopardize the girl's safety.

[ Abbott ]
How do you want
to handle it?

I'm gonna do just what
the note says to do.

And if one of the men Trampas
saw the other night shows up to
buy a paper, we'll follow him.

If it turns out
my hunch is wrong,

we follow orders
and pay the ransom.

Once we've got her back safely,
it's all yours.

- Until then, we do it my way.
- Whatever you say.

I'm goin' by the bank,
draw the money,

and then I'm goin' by
the newspaper office.

You and Trampas
wait, eh?Yo.

What do you think,
Mark?

Well, I think Grainger's
hunch better be right.

Otherwise,
once they get the money,

they may not want
any live witnesses around
to identify them.

[ Clopping Hooves ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Coins Dropping ]

Whoa. Howdy.

- Trouble?
- He's got a stone
under his shoe.

Oh. Need any help?

No, thanks.
I can handle it.

Well, I-- I was just,
uh, taking a shortcut
back to Shiloh.

Yeah.You sure you don't
need any help?

No, I don't need any help.

Something go wrong?We don't know.

Well, then
I'd better hurry up.
I'm gonna miss supper.

[ Clicks Tongue ]

Think we oughta
move in?

No, not yet.
If we're on the right track,

I want him to lead us
to where they're holding her.

You think he spotted Trampas
following him?

We'll know pretty soon
one way or another.

[ Clopping Hooves ]

You take over.
We'll stay back.

Sheriff!

What happened
back there?

Well, he stopped
to pull a rock out
of his horse's hoof.

- I didn't see him till I
was almost on top of him.
- Think he caught on?

I don't know.

I babbled on, took off
like I was in a hurry...

and doubled back
when I got out of sight.

- He still on the same course?
- I think so.

- We're still in business.
- Well, I'll stay back.

If he sees me again,
we're cooked.

Everything all right?We're in business.

Inside, third page.

[ Clopping Hooves ]

Did you find it?

Yeah. I guess Bowers knew
what he was talkin' about.

Any problems here?

He's too smart
to give me any trouble.

Cheer up, miss.
Won't be long now--

soon as I write a letter
to let them know where
to leave the money.

They'll catch you, you know,
when you try to collect.

You better hope they don't.
Both of you.

Don't worry, miss.

I'll find a place
they can't watch.

Take it easy, honey.

All we want to do
is get you home
safe and sound.

Plenty of time later
to catch 'em.

Well, what
do you think?Well, it's worth a try.

It's got to be timed
just right.

We'll wait till
you're out of sight
before we make our move.

Trampas and I will
go around that way.

[ Hammer Cocks ]

Jim.

Yeah. There's someone
out there.

Just a cowhand.

False alarm. You can relax.
You're not going anywhere.

Drop your guns!

- [ Body Thuds ]
- Are you all right?

[ Gunshot ]

I know how you feel, but--

No, he doesn't.
Does he, Bowers?

- What's that supposed to mean?
- Don't listen to him.

He'll say anything
to save his skin.

[ Abbott ]
Like what?

[ Hutton ] Like this whole
thing was Bowers's idea,
to pay off a gambling debt.

That's a lie! That's a lie!

I never saw them before
in my life until they
kidnapped both of us.

- [ Abbott ] Trampas?
- [ Peter ] What's he got
to do with it?

[ Virginian ]
Trampas saw you two
together in town.

That's why we
followed him out here.

[ Uncocks Hammer,
Holsters Gun ]

I'm sorry, Eileen.

You can tell us
all about it back in town.
Come on.

[ Whoa ]

[ Clay ]
You're gonna have to hurry,
or you'll miss that train.

Well,
I wouldn't mind.

Neither would I,
but your father might think
differently about it.

Good-bye, Trampas.

Good-bye.

Sorry the way
things worked out.

Well, it wasn't
your fault.

Guess I just had
a little growing up to do.

You two can finish
this conversation
next summer.

I'm gonna talk her
into coming back.

You do that.

All right.
