(Train whistle blowing)

(Theme music playing)

That's him.

I wanted to be an engineer.

Turned out to be
a pretty good one,

as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I think so, too.

Yeah, just good enough
to walk the tracks.

You were hired to
keep the trains running,

that means walking
tracks, doesn't it?

Ben, nothing is gonna
happen to the tracks.

Now, Clay hennings
is running a bluff.

Be a tricky hand to play if he
wouldn't, though, wouldn't it?

Well, if you want my
opinion, Mr. Calhoun,

which you obviously don't...

Sure is hot out here. I could
go for something cool, hmm?

Yes, so could I. Come
on, I'll buy you all a beer.

You go ahead. I'll be
with you as soon as I get

Julie started on the work order.

All right.

Good day, Calhoun.

Hello, hode.

Right good to see
you, lieutenant.

Good to see you, too.

I'll just bet that's so.

Yes, sir. I'll just bet you've
been counting the time.

Well, that's two of us that's
been figuring, lieutenant.

You must have known I was
gonna catch up with you someday.

Well, here I am.

I'm ready and I'm waiting.

So why don't you
go ahead and draw,

so we can get this thing
settled that's between us.

I have no intentions of drawing.

What's done is done.

That's the way you
see it, huh, lieutenant?

That's the way I see it.

Gun fight wouldn't
change a thing.

And I've no intention of
letting you push me into one.

You came into town
with a taste for trouble,

you might as well forget it.

Unless you've also got a taste for
hanging, shooting me in the back.

(Gunshot)

You'll draw.

One barrel of flour,
three sides of bacon,

two large cans of lard,
one sack of dry beans.

How come you're
not writing it down?

You can leave
the list, you know.

I've got to check it over.

Listen, Bess
hennings was in today.

She asked me to tell you
that you're in a lot of trouble.

Oh?

Yeah, uh, she was really
quite worried about you.

She said that her
father's on a war path.

Yeah. That's no
new revelation, is it?

He's been on a war path
for the last four or five weeks.

He's been costing
us at work, too.

We have to go and check
those tracks every day.

But, Ben, he lost another
dozen head last night.

They were stampeded by
your train coming through.

They went right over the
headwall on long neck canyon.

He's been saying all over town that
he does not intend to lose anymore.

And I've told him a dozen times

to move those cattle
to higher pasture.

That's a whole lot easier than me
trying to move those railroad tracks.

Now we need 300 feet of rope,

two crowbars, two large hammers.

Why would Bess hennings
be worried about me?

Hardly ever spoken to her.

Do you ever notice the
way she looks at you?

No.

Then you're blind as a bat.

But you're not.

Matter of fact, did
anybody ever tell you

what beautiful eyes you have?

Oh, thank you.

Matched only by
your imagination.

I need two
crowbars, two large...

Two crowbars.

Whoa.

You got something to
do, you go do it, Bess.

Yes, pa.

There.

Bess. Good morning.

Hello, Bess. Dave.

You just get time
for the womenfolk?

Nice to see you, too, Clay.

Clay: I ain't finished yet.

I got plenty to say to you.

You tell Calhoun
I took all I can.

That cabbage stack of
his racing through at night,

spittin' and belchin' and firin'

and scarin' my steers
so almighty much,

they can't tell their
horns from their tail.

You tell Calhoun
that's gonna stop.

Clay, you know Ben's
got a schedule to keep.

Not out of my pocket, he ain't.

I'm not gonna
lose no more stock.

All right. You tell him.

I will, Clay, I'll tell him.

Right now, we've got some

unfinished business to do.

Mr. Hennings!

I'd like to talk to
you about a job. Oh?

My name is hode Avery,
I just rode into town.

I wonder if you could
use an extra hand.

Steers I've been losing lately,

I can hardly afford
to pay what men I got.

No, I won't be able
to use no extra man.

Oh, I work cheap on account
of I got no love for Calhoun.

Let's see your hands.

They're soft.

Wouldn't be no
good for cutting logs.

Cutting logs? I thought
you was running steers.

You could be right. I wouldn't
be no good cutting logs.

But if you need a hired gun,

I'm fast, and like I
told ya, I'm cheap.

If I need a gun against
Calhoun, I've got my own.

Now you get.

Pa, who was that?

Oh, just some gun hand.

He wanted to hire
out against Calhoun.

Hey!

How long does it take to
get that order ready, Julie?

Hmm, how's tomorrow noon?

I wanted to get it onto the morning
train after the work camp, if I could.

Yeah, don't worry,
if it misses the train,

for a little extra, I can always
haul it up by freight for you.

If anyone ever asks you tell
'em I'm giving odds eight to one,

that you never die broke.

What odds are you
giving that I'm dying single?

Mr. Calhoun.

Miss hennings.

Calhoun, I'm telling
you for the last time,

you try to send your
train through at night,

you'd better send
along some guns.

Hey!

Barnabas: You said you
wanted to tell me something?

Excuse me, I didn't know you
were gonna turn around like that.

Are you some kind
of blind jackass, boy?

It wasn't my fault. You
turned around kinda...

You're out of line, mister!

Go ahead! Go ahead, you
gonna straighten me out?

If you get out of
line again with him...

You just put your gun
where your mouth is.

That is, if you got the guts.

I got the guts.

That pleasures me just fine.

Any time you say.

You been to the office yet?

Dave didn't start
it, Mr. Calhoun,

he was just trying
to help me out.

It's all right. Party's over.

You won't always be
around to hold his hand.

And I'm still thirsty. You
were gonna buy the drinks.

Some other time,
Ben, if you don't mind.

We'll have supper at
the regular time tonight.

Right.

Want more potatoes, Dave?

Few more beans,
maybe? No, thanks.

Hey, I believe, uh,

hanging that beef improved
it a good deal, barnabas.

Tasted pretty good tonight.

Come to think of
it, hanging will help

a few friends of mine, too.

You want some coffee?

No, thank you. Had enough.

But I haven't had
enough conversation.

You're still upset about
this afternoon, aren't you?

Yeah.

But he'd have killed you, Dave.

He's a gun fighter, you're
not. You're an engineer.

He could have killed you, too.

It's possible.

Still, I've had a little more
experience at it than you have.

Does that mean we back off from every
saddle trap that comes through town?

No. But he didn't just
happen to ride through town.

He came here for the
specific purpose of killing me.

His name is hode Avery.

Before the war, I...

Did a hitch with the cavalry.

Before the war? Well, that
would have to be the union cavalry.

Before the war, that's all the
cavalry there was, barnabas.

Hode came to me at
Kansas. Joined my outfit.

Good man.

But he was one of those fellows
that never could take the discipline.

Still, in all, he was
the best man I had.

One day, I sent
him out on a patrol

looking for a bunch of apaches
that had burned a village.

He's the only one
that came back.

I found the rest
of the men later.

They were all dead, except one.

Before he died, he
told me what happened.

They were jumped by a bunch
of apaches, and hode Avery'd run.

When I got back, I
court-martialed him.

I was the only witness against
him. They gave him ten years.

Couldn't he understand
that you were just doing

what you had to do?

Well...

Perhaps he feels that he's
doing now what he has to do.

He's going to try to get
at me any way that he can.

Perhaps through you boys,
so you stay away from him.

What're you gonna do?

Too bad he had to come
in here right now, isn't it?

Just when hennings
is beginning to act up.

They say trouble
always comes in pairs.

I suppose all a man can do is

take care of 'em one at a time.

Where are you going?

I'm going after hode Avery.

(Cheerful music playing)

I wondered if we might
have a talk. Alone.

Rias, muevete, por favor.

You're a little
late, lieutenant.

Now, you look very good,
I must say, considering.

Why not?

I ain't done a lick
of work in ten years.

You only have to look at the
hands to see that. They're real soft.

Kinda shaky.

You see, that's from
worrying and sweating

when the rats are gnawing
and running over you

in the middle of the night.

That's from bad
food and solitaire.

You fixed me up
real good, lieutenant.

I didn't make the rules.

If I had have, perhaps I
could've taken into consideration

that even the bravest man,
one time or another, could run.

Especially a feller like me,

who knows it ain't worth it
to die for a few red savages,

because he knows
there's a big war coming on,

and he wants to get into
it and get his share of it,

'cause he wants to teach them
gents down there in the south

a lesson they ain't
never gonna forget.

Of course, everybody ain't
on the same side, are they?

There's this feller, he's got
to stand up in court and say...

You know what you said.

The fact that my sympathies
were the opposite of yours

had nothing to do
with my testimony

at your court-martial.

Of course not!

Of course not, lieutenant!

An officer's sympathies
ain't never with his men!

They got to go to
sleep with orders.

They got to get
up giving orders.

They got to run ya
and get some boots,

and run ya and get some horses!

An officer's got his duties.

That ain't good enough.

That don't give me back

no ten years of my life,

on account of the words you
slung out there in that court-martial.

Nothing I can do about that now.

Oh, yes, there is.

You can't get me back
no ten years of my life,

but you can give me the pleasure

of watching you pay for it.

By the way there, lieutenant,

this Mr. Hennings, he
runs cattle, don't he?

That's right.

Only, I wonder why he'd
want to hire me to cut logs.

You should've asked him.

What time's our train passing
the hennings' property?

A little after 10:00.

We'd better get out there.

They've been cutting logs again.

Well, ain't it a pity that
Mr. Calhoun is mad at Mr. Hennings?

(Men laughing)

Man: So the way I
heard it was, like, uh,

these guys was coming in from way out
in the country, and they got to this town,

and fellers were told they were
gonna have a dance around the town.

Now, you could all
bring a special animal,

'cause there's no
girls around there,

so a couple of guys were
currying up their horses,

you know, braiding their
manes and braiding their tails.

These other fellers
was bringing sheep,

and anything they
could find around.

They were really gonna have
themselves a real wingding.

(Men laughing)

So, they all getting ready to come
to this town and have the dance,

and this one guy
shows up, and he's got...

All right, throw down your guns.

Clay hennings' boys.

Well, they put it up,
they can take it down.

I don't know why.

We're gonna have to come back out
here tomorrow and put it back up again.

Maybe, maybe not.

Look after 'em, Dave.
I'll see you back in town.

Well, come on, you heard
the man. Take it down.

(Knocking on door)

Oh, Mr. Calhoun, what
a pleasant surprise!

Good evening, miss
hennings. Is your father in?

Even if you did come
out here just to see pa.

Please come in. Thank you.

Won't you sit down?

Pa, there's somebody
here to see you.

Pa, it's Mr. Calhoun.

Don't you hear
me? Clay: I hear you.

Well...

My daughter sounds
like we should be honored.

You'd think it was Gabriel
come to call. (Chuckles)

I don't think Gabriel knows
how to run a railroad, does he?

Clay: You've come about
them logs on the track.

I'm assuming you put 'em there.

You're assuming correct, and I'll give
you a tip, you can assume some more.

I'm gonna keep right
on putting them there,

as long as you keep running
your train through at night.

But we have to run that train according to
a schedule. We gotta keep that schedule.

It cost me eight, ten
head of good stock,

that iron devil of yours comes
screeching down the track.

I've got a right of way.

I've told you before, you can
run those cattle on higher ground.

There's plenty of
good grazing up there.

Not like that, there ain't.

The best feeding ground
in 20 miles is right there,

running along your track,

and I ain't about
to move my steers

on account of some
politician got rich

selling out decent, honest men,

putting a railroad through
good, tall buffalo grass

where shouldn't no railroad
ever ought to have been.

Well, that's one of the things
that I wanted to talk to you about,

try to get you to understand that a
railroad's there for the good of everybody,

and we've got
to think of others.

Don't you talk "others" to me.

You know what that
cost me last year?

More than 1,500 head, on
account of I had one sick steer.

One sick critter
in the whole herd,

they said, "shoot the lot.
Don't even save the hides,

"just douse them in coal
oil and set a match to 'em."

Yeah, that thinking of others,

that cost me four long
years of hard work,

and I ain't countin' it
to cost me no more.

Pa, that don't have to mean...

Clay: Wasn't
talking to you, Bess.

Calhoun, you said
what you come to say.

I gotta be up early tomorrow.

I gotta cut me some more logs.

(Door closes) Pa,
you done real good.

Only polite to say goodbye.

It's nice to know that
not all of the hennings

look on me as a dangerous enemy.

You're no enemy, for sure.

And I wouldn't
say too dangerous.

Ben Calhoun, you ought
to be ashamed of yourself,

making me lose control.

Sometimes a man doesn't
realize his own power.

Pa, sometimes you just put
me to shame. (Horse whinnying)

Hold on, listen.

(Horse whinnying) Pa!

The fool mare.

Pa, a gentleman like Mr. Calhoun
riding all the way out here,

with both hands open.

Ought to set us up proud,

he even took the
time. (Horse whinnying)

What in the devil could
be spooking her now?

Pa, listen to me!

Bess, you simmer down.

(Horse neighing)

(Horse neighing)

Easy.

Easy, now.

Now, now.

There ain't nothing
to be fussing about.

It's just some fella
riding out is all.

Now you settle down,
you hear? Hmm?

Ah, you fool women.

You're all alike.

(Horse galloping)

(Knocking on door)

Ben? What... What's the
matter? What happened?

Somebody just
killed Clay hennings.

Oh, no. That's awful.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

She's had quite a shock.

I've sent barnabas
over to get the marshal.

He should be here pretty quick.

Thought perhaps you could
look after her in the meantime.

Oh, of course. (Sniffles)

What will I do? I
ain't got nobody now.

Ben: Sure you have.
You've got a lot of friends.

Bess: Who?

You've got Julie, for one.

Ben, you won't forget
me? You'll look after me?

Ben: What you need
right now is a lot of rest.

I'll come back for you as
soon as the marshal shows up.

Thank you, Julie.

Oh, I noticed now she calls
you Ben. Used to be Mr. Calhoun.

Long as you're dreaming, Julie,

why don't you go to sleep?

Good night.

Good night.

Mr. Calhoun.

I've been looking for you. The
marshal wants you at the saloon.

Thank you.

Don't wanna wake anybody up.

Oh, there you are.

You're supposed to be resting.

I can't.

Miss Julie, when
will Ben be back?

Oh, he shouldn't be long.

Bess, could I ask
you a question?

Sure. You're my
friend, ain't you?

Uh, how much do you
know about Mr. Calhoun?

Well, I know he's a
gentleman, that's for sure,

and good-looking, of course.

From the talk you hear,
coming on to be rich.

I also know he's kind
and understanding.

Real gentle, too,
when he wants to be.

Except, I guess, he don't
show that face to everybody.

Well, i'm, um...

I'm very glad that you
can see him that way, Bess.

Might keep you from being hurt.

Hurt? (Chuckles) No,
he's gonna take care of me.

He said so right
in front of you.

Cal: Miss hennings?

Oh, hello, Cal. Miss Julie.

The marshal's in town. He
asked me to bring you over.

Well, Ben said he was
coming back himself.

He ought to be with
the marshal by now.

I just have to get my shawl.

We won't be a minute, Cal.

(Indistinct chatter)

Ben: I heard the
shot and I went back.

He was lying
there by the corral.

Not much question that he was
dead, but I checked him anyway.

You hear the shot, ma'am?

I ran right out.

Mr. Calhoun was standing by him,

and then I seen
what happened and...

You mind if I check
out your gun, Ben?

Just for the record, of course.

(Gun clicking)

Sure wasn't fired tonight.

Well, for the time
being, anyway,

we'll have to figure it
like the lawyers say.

"Killed by a person
or persons unknown."

You can't exactly
say that, marshal.

My name's hode Avery.

It just so happens that I was
at Mr. Hennings' place tonight.

You know anything
about the killing?

I do. I seen it, I
seen who did it.

Could you point him
out in a court of law?

I can, and I will
now. It was him.

(Crowd murmuring)

It's a lie.

I was the only witness
against him at his court-martial.

He's held a grudge ever since.

You just sat here on your
horse and watched him kill a man,

and you didn't
even try to stop him?

Well, I figured that, uh,
wouldn't be no sense in butting in.

It's a private fight. Ain't gonna
make no difference to me

one way or another
how it turns out.

I don't think you need a reading
glass, marshal, to see that

he's just trying to get even.

You said yourself you
had words with hennings.

You hear them, ma'am?

And they were quarreling?

Yes.

So what? He was
quarreling with everybody.

Ask any of the ranchers
around here. Ask Dave.

That's right. He put the
spurs to me this morning.

Is that true, ma'am?

I didn't see it. I
wouldn't know.

Mr. Calhoun's a member
of this community,

and highly
respected, I might add.

You can't expect to just ride in
here and say he shot down a man.

I'm just telling you
what I saw, and that's all.

What were you doing
out there tonight?

I rode out to hennings
to see about a job.

With Clay hennings?

That's right.

He asked me to go
to work for him today.

There must have been plenty of
people seen us talking on the street.

Is that true?

I couldn't say.

I wasn't there.

Let's see your gun.

I didn't say he shot
him with the sidearm.

Rifle?

My rifle hasn't been out
of its boot in two weeks.

That's your word against his.

No. Against two of us.

Me and my compadre,
we was out there together.

You're gonna be around?

Well, I was thinking
about goin' up to Denver,

but if you want me
to stay around, I will.

There's no need to set bond.

Just so you're here
for the coroner's jury.

My sympathies, ma'am.

I'm sorry.

I'm truly sorry.

Well, I could only
say what I know.

It's not your fault.

She's had a bad time. Why
don't you take her home?

Bess, it's very late.

I was just thinking.

Anything I can do to help?

No. Only one who can help is me.

If I can just think it out.

Well, this is a
good place to think.

It's nice and quiet and dark.

I come out here to
think, myself, sometimes.

Do you? Mmm.

I've found that if
you just sit quiet,

sometimes you can remember things
that you couldn't remember before.

Remember?

Mmm-hmm.

You mean, like maybe tonight?

Maybe.

You think I'm holding
something back?

I've gotta just say forgetting.

I said everything I know.

I told him all. You got no
right to make me out a liar.

I didn't make you out anything.

You just want Ben
to think bad of me.

Maybe you got some
notions of your own.

I think you got him
tied all up in ribbons,

broken, bridled, and heading
straight for the preacher's house.

Well, you ain't.

I can look at him same as you
can and can't nobody tell me to stop.

I'm sorry.

You've been good to me.

I've got no right to
carry on like that.

Except, you got to
understand, miss Julie.

Only thing I want is
to help him some way.

Any way.

I don't know how to lie.

And I would.

I'd lie from now
to sunup, if I could.

Oh, you gotta believe
me, miss Julie. (Crying)

I believe you.

Don't stay up too late.

I won't.

Good night.

(Door opens)

(Door closes)

You're wrong!

You've gotta face him
and make him tell the truth.

Just like that, huh? Yes.

What if he don't
want to tell the truth?

Then what do I do? Kill him?

Let the marshal and
everybody in town

think that I shot the only man
who could appear against me, huh?

Ben, he's going to force
you to draw sometime,

he wants that
personal satisfaction.

He's getting it.
Through any means.

Well, somebody's gotta face him.

I told you to stay out of it.

Well, maybe I can scare
him into telling the truth.

Don't you believe it.
He don't scare that easy.

He wants you or me,

I don't think he even
cares at this point.

Can taste it every
time he swallows.

Like I told you, Dave, he's...

He's too experienced
for you to try and handle

and under the
circumstances, I can't.

So, why don't we forget it?

Coming?

No, I think I'll have another.

I always had a
hankering to live in town.

Under the circumstances,
your father being killed and all,

don't you think perhaps
this is a little out of order?

Pa's gone now.

There's nothing I
can do about that.

But you're here.

I've heard lots of folks say

two can live cheap as one.

Providing the one
does live, of course.

Don't get himself harmed.

And I can see that you don't.

Well...

Well, that puzzled
me a good deal.

What magic wand you propose waving
to save me from the hangman's noose?

(Chuckles)

Well, now, don't
you worry about that.

I got it all figured out.

Now suppose I just
started remembering things.

What things?

Well, like how pa
was the only one

who got mad.

You wasn't mad at all.

Never made no threat
or promise of harm.

That's pretty good, for openers.

But it's not gonna win the pot.

Well, maybe,
did I try real hard,

I can remember
about Mr. Avery, too.

Remember what?

Well, what I heard, you see.

How Mr. Avery tried to
sell himself for a gun hand,

and pa wasn't buying
nothing like that,

and never offered
him no job neither.

So wouldn't that mean
Mr. Avery was lying?

Lying about you, too, I'd guess.

Wouldn't be no questions.
Folks would take my word.

No decent girl would
lie against her own pa,

and marry herself to
the man that killed him.

What a vicious
little cat you are.

I know what I want

and I'll spit and
scratch if I don't get it,

but I'll purr nice and soft
if I'm rubbed the right way.

Ben, wait.

I've never manhandled
a lady in my life.

But once I get you
through that door,

don't never come
back, or I may start.

I don't need your kinda
help. (Knocking on door)

Come in. Marshal:
Calhoun, you up?

Good evening, marshal. Now
you tell him what you just told me.

I just told Mr. Calhoun
that nothing,

absolutely nothing's gonna
make me change my story.

What'd she mean by that?

Means she wants to see me hung.

How about a drink? No, thanks.

I thought you might
like to look at this.

The doc cut that out of
Clay hennings tonight.

Then he was killed by a rifle.

Looks that way.

I took the Liberty
of taking this rifle

out of your saddle
boot at the livery stable.

This is your rifle?

Yes, it is. But I haven't
used it in quite a while.

It was fired no more
than six hours ago.

You mind handing
me back that slug?

It's not my place to say it,

but you got friends in
town. You'll need them.

(Door closes)

We got to do some regrading
out at bear claw bend.

Railroad's got a sag in
it. We might have a break.

Barnabas, you're gonna
wear a track in the floor.

Did you hear what
happened to Mr. Calhoun?

He's been charged with murder.

Yeah, I know.

Hode Avery framed him.

Ben talked to the marshal into
going out to henning's place.

Maybe they'll find something out
there to prove hode Avery a liar.

And meantime we
just sit on our hands.

(Sighs) I wanted
to do something,

but Ben overruled me.

Well, he didn't overrule me!

Where do you think you're going

I don't know.

Hode Avery was
proved a coward once,

I think he can be
forced to tell the truth.

Come here, barnabas.

Come here, sit down.

You want to learn
something about blueprints?

Not particularly.

Well, start learning.

Ben doesn't want
us to do anything.

Of all the people
that have tried

to get Ben Calhoun,

hode Avery gets him.

Right here, in our own town

with our friends
all over the place,

and without even firing a shot.

(Sighs) And all we
do is sit here drawing

lines with a pencil!

(Man humming)

Oh, hello, Dave. Gabe.

How are ya, huh? (Chuckles)

You know, I've heard
of blind-gated jackasses.

You calling me?

You're asking to get
yourself killed, boy.

Oh, I'm just asking
to walk down the street

and not find a lot
of trash underfoot.

I was just going in
for a cup of coffee.

Take me about five minutes.

Don't be here when I come out.

Somebody ought
to tell Mr. Calhoun.

It's a pity he's going
to miss the whole show.

(Sighs) Who'd have reckoned?

Somebody ought to tell him.

Ben, anything new?

Nothing to speak of.

We were just going
over to Mrs. Keller's.

She's going to lend Bess a
black hat and veil for tomorrow.

I think that'll be fine,

though I've never understood

why the living should
be punished for the dead,

why such an innocent face
should be covered by a black veil.

Seeing how things
are, Mr. Calhoun,

I don't feel that's a
proper thing to talk about.

Mr. Calhoun! Mr. Calhoun!

You better come quick!

Mr. Tarrant just
called out hode Avery.

Come on.

Come on, Bess. I can't go.

You can't go, why?
It's between them.

And you've no part in
this? Ben could get killed.

Leave me alone! Wait a minute.

You've been lying.
You've been lying!

What is it? What
are you not saying?

I can't go! What is
it you're not saying?

Nothing! Nothing!

Come on! You're gonna face this.

Leave me alone.

When you tell the truth!

Come on!

Come on, boy!

You gonna grow up real fast.

It's me you want, hode, not him.

It'd be a real pleasure,
officer lieutenant.

I'm sorry, Dave,
but it's my fight.

Dave: Rias, don't do it.

Leave me alone.
What does it matter?

Truth's gonna come out,
hode, one way or another.

Come on, now. I'd like you
to see what you're doing.

Look at this. Look at this! No!

Julie!

Come on. Come on.

Now, tell 'em.

I lied.

(Sobbing) I lied
so you'd need me.

I lied.

Dave, why don't
you take her home?

I'll have to talk to her later.

I'll see that hode
is taken care of.

Come on, Bess.

Ben, would you
like a cup of coffee?
