- Did you see what I saw?

Come on, Joe, open her up. We're
gonna have a big day today.

Come on, get the door open.

- You in a hurry?

- Yeah, I sure am.

- You're a fool. Come on.

- All right, all right ladies
and gentlemen, let us begin.

Now will the bride and
groom kindly step forward.

Will Kane and Amy Fowler,
you appear before me

in my capacity as Justice of
the Peace of this township,

to be joined together in
the bonds of holy matrimony.

- Man, it sure is hot.

- Hot? You call this hot?

Well I'll be--

- What's the matter?

- Thought I saw Ben Miller.

- Aw, he's
down in Texas somewhere.

- I know. Looked like
Pierce and Colby, too.

Oh, it couldn't be, though.

- My goodness gracious.

- Noon train on time?

- Ah, yes sir. At least I think so, sir.

Don't know reason why it
shouldn't be. Mr. Pierce.

How are you, Mr. Miller?
Mr. Pierce, Mr. Colby.

- Do you, Will Kane, take
Amy to be your lawful

wedded wife, to have and to
hold from this day forward

until death do you part?

- I do.

- Do you Amy take Will to be
your lawful wedded husband,

to have and to hold from this day forward,

until death do you part?

- I do.

- The ring please.

Then, by the authority
vested in me by the laws

of this territory, I
pronounce you man and wife.

I can't speak for the rest of you men,

but I claim an ancient privilege.

- Moving mighty fast for a Sunday.

- Will!

- All those people.

Amy, seems to me like
people ought to be alone

when they get married.

- I know.

- I'm gonna try, Amy. I'll do my best.

- I will, too.

- The honeymoon is officially
over. Come on, everybody.

And don't look so shocked ladies.

- No way to treat a man
on his honeymoon day.

- A man's entitled to a little
privacy on his wedding day.

- Well, one more ceremony
and Will's a free man.

More or less.

Marshal, turn in your badge.

- To tell ya the truth,
I kinda hate to do this

without your new marshal bein' here.

- Will, Fuller, Howe, and
I are the entire board

of selectman in this community.

We're also your very good friends.

With the fine job you've done
here, I feel free to say,

and the judge'll bear me out,

this town will be safe till tomorrow.

- You win. But don't ever marry a Quaker.

She'll have ya runnin' a store.

- I can't picture you doin' that, Will.

- I can.

- So can I, and a good thing, too.

- Thank you.

- You didn't talk that way
when you were wearin' a star.

All right, it's comin' off.
But I got to be paid, first.

- Let me down.

- Not till ya kiss me.

- Let me down, you fool.

- Nice delaying action, Will,
you should've been a lawyer.

- I was meant to be a store keeper.

- Marshal, telegram for you.

It's terrible, it's shocking.

- They pardoned Frank Miller.

- What is it, Will?

- I don't believe it. Week ago, too.

Nice of them to let ya know.

- And that ain't all.

Ben Miller's down at the depot now

with Jim Pierce and Jack Colby.

He asked about the noon train.

- The noon train?

- Will, you get out of this town.

Get out of this town this very minute.

- Come on, let's get him going.

- What is this man?

- Oh never mind that now.

Just get going,

and don't stop till you
get to get to Clarksburg.

- But what is it, Mr. Howe?

- Don't you worry, lass.

We'll get ya outta town in a minute

and everything will be all right.

- Will, we'll take care of everything.

- I think I ought to stay.

- Are you crazy? Think of Amy.

- Goodbye Amy.

- Goodbye Amy, don't worry.

Everything will be all right.

- Go on boy, hurry!

- Huh, that's funny.

- What?

- Well, you can't see now.

Kane and his new wife just
took off in a big hurry.

- What's so funny?

- I mean a big hurry.

Hey, you don't suppose Kane's scared

of those three gunnies?

Well you didn't see him.

I never saw him whip a horse that way.

- Sam?

- Come in, Helen.

- Ben Miller is in town.

He has two of the old bunch with him.

- I guess I'll take a look around.

- Why are you stopping?

- It's no good. I've got to go back, Amy.

- Why?

- This is crazy, I
haven't even got any guns.

- Then let's go on. Hurry.

- No, that's what I've been thinkin'.

They're makin' me run. I've
never run from anybody before.

- Well I don't understand any of this.

- Well, I haven't got time to tell ya.

- Then don't go back, Will.

- I've got to, that's the whole thing.

- Kane is back!

- I don't believe it.

- Just seen him.

- How many coffins we got?

- Two.

- We're gonna need at least two more

no matter how ya figure it.

- You better get busy, Fred.

- Please, Will.

If you'd just tell me
what this is all about.

- I sent a man up five
years ago for murder.

He was supposed to hang.

But up north, they commuted
it to life. Now he's free.

I don't know how. Anyway, it
looks like he's coming back.

- I still don't understand.

- He's a--

Well he was always wild, kinda crazy.

He'll, he'll probably make trouble.

- But that's no concern
of yours, not anymore.

- I'm the one who sent him up.

- Well that was part of your
job. That's finished now.

They've got a new marshal.

- He won't be here till tomorrow.

Seems to me I've got to stay.

Anyway, I'm the same man,
with or without this.

- Well that isn't so.

- I expect he'll come lookin' for me.

Three of his old bunch
are waiting at the depot.

- That's exactly why we ought to go.

- He'll just come after us. Four of 'em.

We'd be all alone on the prairie.

- We've got an hour.

- What's an hour?
- Well we could--

- What's a hundred miles?

We'd never be able to
keep that store, Amy.

They'd come after us and
we'd have to run again,

as long as we lived.

- No we wouldn't. Not if they
didn't know where to find us.

Oh, Will. Will, I'm begging
you, please let's go.

- I can't.

- Don't try to be a hero.

You don't have to be a hero, not for me.

- I'm not trying to be a hero.

If you think I like this, you're crazy.

Look Amy, this is my town.
I've got friends here.

I'll swear in a bunch of special deputies

and with a posse behind me,

maybe there won't even be any trouble.

- You know there'll be trouble.

- Then, it's better to have it here.

I'm sorry, honey. I know
how you feel about it.

- Do you?

- Of course I do. I know it's
against your religion and all.

Sure I know how you feel.

- But you're doing it just the same.

Oh Will, we were married
just a few minutes ago.

We've got our whole lives ahead of us,

doesn't that mean anything to you?

- You know I've only got an
hour, and I've got lots to do.

Stay at the hotel until it's over.

- No, I won't be here when it's over.

You're asking me to
wait an hour to find out

if I'm going to be a wife or a widow.

I say it's too long to
wait. I won't do it.

- Amy.

- I mean it, if you won't go with me now,

I'll be on that train when it leaves here.

- I've got to stay.

♫ You made that promise when we wed

♫ Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'

♫ I know you're grievin'

♫ I can't be leavin' ♫

- Glad ya got here Percy.

- Are you?

Have you forgotten that I'm the man

who passed sentence on Frank Miller?

You shouldn't have come
back, Will. It was stupid.

- I figured I had to. I
figured I had to stay.

- You figured wrong.

- I can deputize a posse,
10, 12 guns is all I need.

- My intuition tells me otherwise.

- Why?

- No time for a lesson in civics, my boy.

In the 5th Century B.C.,
the citizens of Athens,

having suffered grievously under a tyrant,

managed to depose and banish him.

However, when he returned some years later

with an army of mercenaries,
those same citizens

not only opened their
gates for him, but stood by

while he executed members
of the legal government.

Similar thing happened
about eight years ago

in a town called Indian Falls.

I escaped death only through
the intercession of a lady

of somewhat dubious
reputation, and the cost

of a very handsome ring which
once belonged to my mother.

Unfortunately, I have no more rings.

- You're a judge.

- Been a judge many times in many towns.

And I hope to live to be a judge again.

- I can't tell ya what to do.

- Why must you be so stupid, Will?

Have you forgotten what he is?

Have you forgotten what
he's done to people?

Have you forgotten that he's crazy?

Don't you remember when he
sat in that chair and said,

- You'll never hang me. I'll come back.

I'll kill you Will Kane.
I swear it, I'll kill you.

- There you are, ma'am.
This'll take you to St. Louis.

- Thank you.

- Maybe you'd rather
wait somewhere's else?

Like at the hotel, maybe.

- All right, thank you.

- I'm awfully sorry about
all this, Mrs. Kane.

But don't you worry.

The marshal will take
care of himself all right.

- Thank you very much.

- Hey that wasn't here five years ago.

- So what?

- Nothing... yet.

- Harvey, don't you think
Kane will be looking

for you right now?

- Yeah.

- You're really sore at him?

- Wouldn't you be, if you were me?

- I suppose, if I were you.

- Be back in a while.

- Bye, Will.
- Goodbye.

- You think I'm letting
you down, don't you?

- No.

- Look, this is just
a dirty little village

in the middle of nowhere.

Nothing that happens
here is really important.

Now, get out.

- There isn't time.

- What a waste. Good luck.

- Johnny.

Why aren't you in church?

- Why ain't you?

- Look, will ya do somethin' for me?

- Sure.

- Go find Joe Henderson,
Mark Howe, and Sam Fuller

and tell 'em I want 'em here.

- Right.

- Then find Harv Pell.

- You don't have to do that. Here I am.

- Well, where have ya been?

- Busy.

- You know what's doin'?

- Sure.

- Well, come on, we got lots to do.

- Ah, hold up a second.

This ain't really your job, you know?

- Well that's what
everybody keeps tellin' me.

- Yeah, well when I tell
ya, it means somethin',

so you can just listen a second.

- All right, I'm listenin'.

- This is the way I see it.

If you'd gone with the
new marshal not due here

till tomorrow, I'd be in
charge around here, right?

- Right.

- Well tell me this, then.

If I'm good enough to hold down the job

when there's trouble,
how come the city fathers

didn't trust me with it permanent?

- I don't know.

- Don't you?
- No.

- That's funny. I figured
you carried a lot of weight.

- Maybe they didn't ask me.

Maybe they figured you were too young.

- You think I'm too young, too?

- You sure act like it sometimes. Come on.

- It's very simple, Will.

All ya gotta do is tell
the old boys when they come

that I'm the new marshal.

And tomorrow, they can
tell the other fellow

they're sorry but the job's filled.

- You really mean it, don't ya?

- Sure.

- Well I can't do it.

- Why not?

- If you don't know, it's
no use me tellin' ya.

- Ya mean you won't do it.

- Have it your way.

- All right, the truth is

you probably talked
against me from the start.

You've been sore about
me and Helen Ramirez

right along, ain't ya?

- You and Helen Ramirez? I--

It so happens I didn't
know, and it doesn't

mean anything to me one way or the other.

You ought to know that.

- Yeah, you been washed
up for more than a year.

Well you go out and get
yourself married, only

you can't stand anybody takin'
your place there, can ya?

Especially me.

- You're--

I haven't got time, Harv.

- Okay, then let's get down to business.

You want me to stick,

you put the word in for me like I said.

- Sure I want ya to stick.
But I'm not buyin' it.

It's gotta be up to you.

- I thought you'd grew up by now.

- I thought your disposition
might've sweetened up a little

down in Abilene.

I guess we're both wrong.

- What's so funny?

- Did you really think you
could put that over on Kane?

- Why not?

- When are you going to grow up?

- I'm gettin' tired of that kinda talk.

- Then grow up.

- Cut it out!

- All right.

- Why shouldn't he have
gone for it? He needs me.

He'll need me plenty when
Frank Miller gets here.

- That's possible.

- Should've had me made
marshal to begin with.

He's just sore is all.
Sore about you and me.

- Is he?
- Sure.

- You told him?
- Sure.

- You're a fool.

- Why? Didn't you want him to know?

Hey, who did the walking
out anyway, you or him?

- Get out, Harvey.

- I might just do that.

- Then do it.

- You don't mean that.

- Try me.

- You're gonna talk different
when Frank Miller gets here.

You might want somebody around ya then,

when you're tryin' to
explain to him about Kane.

- I can take care of myself.

- Sure. Only, from what I've heard,

you might not be so pretty
when he gets through with ya.

I won't be back.

- Good.

Come in?

- I just saw Harvey. Is
everything all right?

- I think I have to talk with Mr. Weaver.

- You're getting out?

- Yes.

- You want me to give Kane a hand?

- No.
- All right.

- May I wait here for the noon train?

I said, may I wait in
the lobby until noon?

- Sure, lady.
- Thank you.

- You're Mrs. Kane, ain't you?

- Yes.

- You're leaving on the noon train?

- Yes.

- But your husband ain't?

- No, why?

- No reason, but it's mighty interesting.

Now me, I wouldn't leave this town at noon

for all the tea in china.

No sir, it's going to
be quite a sight to see.

- Will. I just heard--

- Hello Herb.

- You can count on me.
You know that, don't ya?

- I was figurin' I could.

- Well ya cleaned this town up.

You made it fit for women
and kids to live in.

Miller, nor nobody else will
ever drag it down again.

- I was hopin' people would feel that way.

- What other way is there?

How many men ya got lined up?

- None yet.

- Well ya better get goin' man.

I'll be back in 10
minutes, loaded for bear.

- Where is he?

- He's coming up the back
way. There's a careful man.

- Come in, Mr. Weaver.

- Hello, Mrs. Ramirez.

- Hello, sit down please.

- Thanks.

Is there anything wrong, Mrs. Ramirez?

- No.

- Then, why did you send for me?

- I'm leaving town. I
want to sell the store.

Do you want to buy me out?

- Well, how much did you want?

- Two thousand. I think that's fair.

- Well, it's fair all right,

but I couldn't raise that much right now.

- How much can you raise?

- Oh, a thousand dollars.

- All right. You can pay
Sam the rest in six months.

And he'll get it to me. A deal?

- Yes, ma'am.

- All right, Mr. Weaver. Thank you.

- Mrs. Ramirez, I want to
thank you for everything.

I mean, when you first called
me in and put the deal to me

about stakin' me in the store
and bein' a silent partner.

You know, my wife thought--

Er, what I really mean to say is that,

you've been real decent to me right along.

And I want you to know that
I've been honest with you.

- I know you have, Mr. Weaver.

Goodbye.

- Goodbye, Mrs. Ramirez.
And good luck to you.

- Thank you.

- Oh Will.

- Amy, you've changed your mind.

- I thought you'd changed yours.

No, Will I have my ticket.

- I see.

- Open 19 and clean it up good.

Mr. Miller's very particular.

- Is Helen Ramirez in?

- Yes, sir.

Think you can find it all right?

- Come in.

What are you looking at?
You think I have changed?

Well, what do you want?
You want me to help you?

You want me to ask Frank to let you go?

You want me to beg for you?
Well, I would not do it.

I would not lift a finger for you.

- I came to tell ya he was comin'.

I should've figured you'd know about it.

- I know about it.

- I think you ought to get out of town.

I might not be able to,
well... anything can happen.

- I am not afraid of him.

- I know you're not, but
you, you know how he is.

- I know how he is.

Maybe he doesn't know.

- He's probably got letters.

- Probably.

Nothing in life is free.

I'm getting out. I'm packing.

- That's good.

Un año sin verte

Sí, lo sé

Goodbye Helen.

- Kane, if you're smart,
you will get out, too.

- I can't.
- I know.

- May I ask you something?

- Sure.

- Who is Miss Ramirez?

- Mrs. Ramirez?

She used to be a friend of
your husband's a while back.

Before that, she was a
friend of Frank Miller's.

- I see. Thank you.

You don't like my husband, do you?

- No.
- Why?

- Lots of reasons.

One thing, this place was always busy

when Frank Miller was around.

I'm not the only one.

There's plenty people around here think

he's got a come-uppance coming.

You asked me, ma'am, so I'm telling you.

- Ya know what, think
I'll go get some liquor.

- You have to have it?

- Yeah.

- If you're goin' after that woman.

- I said I was goin' for liquor.

- You keep away from Kane.

- Sure. I can wait.

- Hiya Harvey.

- Hello, Harv.

- How are ya?

- Where's the tin star?

- I, er, turned it in. I quit.

- Smart move.

- I didn't ask ya for your opinion.

- Hey, Ben!

- Ben! How are ya, Ben?

- Look who's here!

- How are ya Ben?

- All right, give me a bottle.

- Been a long time, Ben.

- Yeah.

- Yes, er, how's Frank?

- He's not complainin'.

- Well, there'll be a hot time

in the old town tonight, eh Ben?

- I wouldn't be surprised.

- I'll give ya odds,
Kane's dead five minutes

after Frank gets off the train.

- That's not much time.

- That's all Frank'll need because I--

You carry a badge and a gun, Marshal.

You had no call to do that.

- You're right.

- No.

- I guess you all know why I'm here.

I need deputies. I'll take all I can get.

- You must be crazy, coming
in here to raise a posse.

Frank's got friends in this
room. You oughta know that.

- Some of you were special deputies

when we broke this bunch.

I need ya again, now.

- Things were different then, Kane.

You had six steady
deputies to start off with.

Every one a top gun. You
ain't got but two, now.

- You ain't got two.

Harv Pell, here, says he just quit. Why?

- That's between the two of us.

- You're askin' an awful lot, Kane,

considering the kind
of man Frank Miller is.

- All right. We all
know what Miller's like.

That's why I'm here. How about it?

♫ He made the vow while in state's prison

♫ Vowed it would be my life or his'n

♫ I'm not afraid of death, but oh

♫ What will I do if you leave me

♫ Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' ♫

- Mildred, Mildred, he's coming.
Now you do like I told ya.

I'm not home. Don't let him
in, no matter what he says.

I'm not home.

- Sam, he's your friend.

- Don't argue with me.
He'll be here in a second.

- He won't believe me.
He'll know I'm lying.

- You do like I tell you.

- Hello Mrs. Fuller. Is Sam in?

- No. No, he isn't.

- Do you know where he is, Mrs. Fuller?

It's important to me that I find him.

- I think... he's in church,
Will. He's gone to church.

- Without you?

- I'm going to go in a little
while, as soon as I dress.

- Thank you, Mrs. Fuller. Goodbye.

- Well, what do you want? Do
you want me to get killed?

Do you want to be a widow?
Is that what you want?

- No, Sam, no.

- Kane.

- What's the matter, Jimmie?

- Nothin', I've been lookin'
for ya. I want a gun.

I want to be with you
when that train comes in.

- Can you handle a gun?

- Sure I can. I used to be good, honest.

- But why do you wanna--

- It ain't just gettin' even.

It's a chance, see, it's what I need.

Please Kane, let me get in on this.

- All right, Jimmie, I'll
call you if I need you.

Get yourself a drink meanwhile, huh?

- Come in, Sam.

- You're leaving town.

Where ya goin'?

- I don't know yet.

- That doesn't make much sense.

You're afraid, huh? Afraid of Miller?

- No.

- Sure ya are. You wouldn't be runnin'.

You've got nothin' to be worried about,

as long as I'm around, you know that.

I'm not a-scared of Miller.
I'll take him on anytime.

- I believe you.

- Then why are you going?
You cuttin' out with Kane?

- Oh, Harvey.

- Then why are you going?

- What difference does it make?

- It's Kane. It's Kane, I know it's Kane.

- It isn't Kane.

But I'm going to tell you something

about you and your friend, Kane.

You're a good looking boy.
You have big, broad shoulders.

But he is a man.

It takes more than big, broad shoulders

to make a man, Harvey.

And you have a long way to go.

You know something? I don't
think you will ever make it.

- Let me tell you something.
You're not going anywhere.

You're stayin' here with me.

It's gonna be just like it was before.

- You want to know why
I'm leaving? Then listen.

Kane will be a dead man in half an hour.

And nobody's going to
do anything about it.

And when he dies, this town
dies, too. I can feel it.

I am all alone in the world.
I have to make a living.

So I'm going someplace else. That's all.

And as for you, I don't like
anybody to put his hands

on me unless I want him to.

And I don't like you to anymore.

♫ He made the vow while in state's prison

♫ Vowed it would be my life or his'n

♫ I'm not afraid of death, but oh

♫ What will I do if you leave me ♫

- Our text today
is from Malachi, Chapter 4.

For behold, the day cometh
that shall burn as an oven.

And all the proud, yea,
and all that do wickedly

shall be as--

Yes?

- I'm sorry, Parson. I don't
want to disturb the services.

- You already have.

You don't come to this
church very often, Marshal.

And when you got married today,

you didn't see fit to be married here.

What can be so important
to bring you here now?

- I need help.

It's true I haven't
been a church-going man,

and maybe that's a bad thing.

And I didn't get married
here today because,

because my wife's a Quaker.

But I came here for help because,

because there are people here.

- I'm sorry, Marshal.

Say what you have to say.

Maybe some of you already
know it, but if you don't,

it looks like Frank Miller's
comin' back on the noon train.

I need all the special deputies I can get.

- Well, what are we waitin' for?

Let's go.

- Hold it a minute. Hold it.

Before we go rushin' out into somethin'

that ain't gonna be so pleasant,

let's be sure we know
what this is all about.

- Now let the man talk.

- What I want to know is this.

Ain't it true that Kane
ain't no longer marshal?

And ain't it true there's personal trouble

between him and Miller?

- All right, all right, quiet everybody.

If there's a difference of opinion,

let everybody have a say.

But let's do it like grown up people.

And let's get all of the
kids out of the building.

- Anything on the train?

- It's on time as far as I know, sir.

- I say it don't really
matter if there's anything

personal between Miller
and the marshal, here.

We all know who Miller
is and what Miller is.

What's more, we're wasting time.

- All right.

McCoy.

- Yes, we all know who Miller is.

But we put him away once, and
who saved him from hanging?

The politicians up north.

I say this is their mess.
Let them take care of it.

- LeClerc.

- Well I say this.

We've been payin' good money right along

for a marshal and deputies.

Now the first time there's any trouble,

we're supposed to take
care of it ourselves.

Well, what have we been
payin' for all this time?

I say we're not peace
officers. This ain't our job.

- I've been sayin' right along

we ought to have more deputies.

If we did, we wouldn't
be facing this thing now.

- Just a minute, just a minute.

Everybody quiet. Keep it orderly.

You had your hand up, Ezra.

- I can't believe I've
heard some of the things

that have been said here.

Y'all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Sure, we paid this man,
and he was the best marshal

this town ever had.

It ain't his trouble. It's ours.

I tell ya, if he don't do what's right,

we're gonna have plenty more trouble.

So there ain't but one thing to do now,

and you all know what that is.

- Go ahead, Gibby.

- This whole thing's been handled wrong.

Here's those three killers
walking the streets,

bold as brass.

Why didn't you arrest 'em, Marshal?

Why didn't you put 'em in
jail, where they ought to be?

Then we'd only have Miller to worry about

instead of the four of 'em.

- I haven't anything to
arrest them for, Mr. Trumbull.

They haven't done anything.

There's no law against 'em
sittin' on a bench at the depot.

- I can't listen to any more of this.

What's the matter with you people?

Don't you remember when a decent woman

couldn't walk down the
street in broad daylight?

Don't you remember when
this wasn't a fit place

to bring up a child?

How can you sit here and talk
and talk and talk like this?

- What are we all
getting so excited about?

How do we know Miller's
on that train, anyway?

- Oh, we can be pretty sure he's on it.

Time's getting short.

Parson, you got anything to say?

- I don't know. Commandments
say, Thou shalt not kill.

But we hire men to go
out and do it for us.

The right and the wrong
seem pretty clear here.

But if you're asking me to tell my people

to go out and kill, and
maybe get themselves killed,

I'm sorry, I don't know
what to say, I'm sorry.

- All right, I'll say this.

What this town owes Will Kane here

it can never pay with money.

And don't ever forget it.

He's the best marshal we ever had,

and maybe the best
marshal we'll ever have.

So if Miller comes back here today,

it's our problem, not his.

It's our problem because this is our town.

We've made it with our
own hands, out of nothing.

And if we want to keep it
decent, keep it growing,

we've gotta think mighty clear here today.

And we've gotta have the courage

to do what we think is right,
no matter how hard it is.

All right, there's gonna be fighting

when Kane and Miller meet.

And somebody's gonna get
hurt, that's for sure.

Now, the people up north are
thinking about this town.

Thinking mighty hard,

thinking about sending money down here

to put up stores and to build factories.

It'll mean a lot to
this town, an awful lot.

But if they're gonna read about shooting

and killing in the streets,
what are they gonna think then?

I'll tell ya.

They're gonna think this is
just another wide, open town.

And everything we worked
for will be wiped out.

In one day, this town will
be set back five years.

And I don't think we can let that happen.

Mind you, you all know
how I feel about this man.

He's a mighty brave man, a good man.

He didn't have to come back here today.

And for his sake, and
the sake of this town,

I wish he hadn't.

Because if he's not
here when Miller comes,

my hunch is, there won't be any trouble.

Not one bit.

Tomorrow we'll have a new marshal.

And if we can all agree here
to offer him our services,

I think we can handle
anything that comes along.

To me, that makes sense.

To me, that's the only way outta this.

Will, I think you better go
while there's still time.

It's better for you,
and it's better for us.

- Thanks.

- Why don't you put that thing away?

- Bang, bang, you're dead Kane!

♫ Don't forsake me, oh my darlin'

♫ On this, our wedding day

♫ Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'

♫ Wait, wait long ♫

- I sent a kid to find ya. Didn't he come?

- He was here.

- You've been my friend all my life.

You got me this job. You
made 'em send for me.

Ever since I was a kid, I
wanted to be like you, Mark.

You've been a law man all your life.

- Yeah, yeah all my
life. It's a great life.

You risk your skin catchin'
killers, and the juries

turn 'em loose so they can come
back and shoot at ya again.

If you're honest, you pour your
whole life, and in the end,

you wind up dyin' all alone on
some dirty street, for what?

For nothin', for a tin star.

- Listen, the judge has
left town, Harvey's quit,

and I'm having trouble gettin' deputies.

- It figures. It's all
happened too sudden.

People gotta talk themselves
into law and order

before they do anything about it.

Maybe because down deep, they don't care.

They just don't care.

- What'll I do, Mark?

- I was hopin' ya wouldn't come back.

- You know why I came back.

- Not to commit suicide.

- Sometimes, sometimes
prison changes a man.

- Not him. This is all planned,
that's why they're all here.

Get out, Will. Get out.

- Will you come down
to that depot with me?

- No.

You know how I feel about you,

but I ain't goin' with ya.

Seems like a man with
busted knuckles didn't need

arthritis too, don't it?

No, I couldn't do nothin' for ya.

You'd be worried about me.

You'd get yourself
killed worrying about me.

It's too one-sided, like it is.

- So long, Mark.
- So long.

It's all for nothin',
Will. It's all for nothin'.

- Excuse me. What is Mrs.
Ramirez's room number?

- Three.
- Thank you.

- Come in.

- Yes?
- Mrs. Ramirez?

I'm Mrs. Kane.

- I know.

- May I come in?

- If you like.

Sit down, Mrs. Kane.

- No, thank you.

- What do you want?

- Please, it's just that
I'm afraid if I sat down,

I wouldn't be able to get up again.

- Why?

- It wasn't easy for me to come here.

- Why?

- Look, Mrs. Ramirez, Will and
I were married an hour ago.

We were all packed and ready to leave and,

and then this thing
happened and he wouldn't go.

I did everything, I pleaded, I threatened.

I just couldn't reach him.

- And now?

- Well that man downstairs, the clerk.

He said things about you and Will.

I've been trying to understand
why he wouldn't go with me,

and now all I can think
of is that it's got to be

because of you.

- What do you want from me?

- Let him go. He still
has a chance, let him go.

- I cannot help you.

- Please.

- He isn't staying for me.

I haven't spoken to him
for a year until today.

I am leaving on the same train you are.

Then what is it? Why is he staying?

- If you don't know, I
cannot explain it to you.

- Well thank you, anyway.
You've been very kind.

- What kind of woman are you?

How can you leave him like this?

Does the sound of guns
frighten you that much?

- No, Mrs. Ramirez. I've heard guns.

My father and my brother
were killed by guns.

They were on the right side,

but that didn't help them any
when the shooting started.

My brother was 19. I watched him die.

That's when I became a Quaker.

I don't care who's right or who's wrong.

There's got to be some better
way for people to live.

Will knows how I feel about it.

- Just a minute.

Are you going to wait
for the train downstairs?

- Yes.

- Why don't you wait here?

♫ Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'

♫ On this our wedding day

♫ Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' ♫

- Well, I got no use for
Kane, but I'll say this.

He's got guts.

- Mighty broad-minded, Joe.

- Now you Harv, I always
figured you for guts.

I never give ya any credit
for brains till now.

- What's that mean?

- Nothin', only it takes a smart man

to know when to back away.

- If I can't pick my company
when I drink in here,

I ain't comin' in here anymore.

- Okay.

All right.

Humph, the boy with the tin star.

All right, if that's the way you want it.

All right boys, what are ya gonna have?

Let's dig in here.

- Put a saddle on him,
Kane. Go on, saddle him up.

He'll go a long way before he tires.

That's what you were thinkin', wasn't it?

- Kind of.

- You scared?

- I guess so.

- Sure, it stands to reason.

Come on. Let me help you.

- Seems like all everybody
and his brother wants

is to get me out of town.

- Well, nobody wants to see ya get killed.

Hold it, where ya goin'?

- I don't know. Back
to the office, I guess.

- Oh no, you're gettin' on that horse

and you're gettin' out.

What's the matter with you?

You were ready to do it
yourself. You said so.

- Look Harv, I thought about
it because I was tired.

You think about a lot of
things when you're tired.

But I can't do it.

- Why?
- I don't know.

- Get on that horse, Will.

- Why is it so important to you?

You don't care if I live or die.

- Come on.

- Don't shove me, Harv.
I'm tired of bein' shoved.

- I hate this town. I always hated it.

To be a Mexican woman in a town like this.

- I understand.

- You do? That's good.

I don't understand you.

No matter what you say,
if Kane was my man,

I'd never leave him like this.

I'd get a gun. I'd fight.

- Why don't you?

- He is not my man. He's yours.

- Ya got some clean water I can use?

- Why sure, Marshal. Sure, sure, sit down.

You in some kind of trouble, Marshal?

- No, no trouble.

- What are ya building?

- Oh, just fixin' things up out back.

Now take it easy, Mr. Kane.
Just settle back, that's it.

Fred, Fred, hold it a while, will ya?

- Hold it?

- You just stop till I
tell you to start again.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome, Marshal.

Oh, no charge.

- You can tell your man he
can go back to work now.

- Will.

- I guess I forgot about you, Herb.

I'm sure glad you're here.

- I couldn't figure out
what was keepin' ya.

Time's gettin' pretty short.

- It sure is.

- When are the other boys gonna get here?

We gotta make plans.

- The other boys? There
aren't any other boys, Herb.

It's just you and me.

- You're jokin'.

- No, I couldn't get anybody.

- I don't believe it.
This town ain't that low.

- I couldn't get anybody.

- Then it's just you and me.

- I guess so.

- You and me against Miller
and all the rest of them.

- That's right. Do you want out, Herb?

- Well. It isn't that I
want out, no.

Ya see. Look, I'll tell ya the truth.

I didn't figure on
anything like this, Will.

- Neither did I.

- I volunteered. You know I did.

You didn't have to come
to me. I was ready.

Sure, I'm ready now, but
this is different, Will.

This ain't like what you
said it was gonna be.

This is just plain committing
suicide and for what?

Why me? I'm no law man.

I just live here. I got nothin'
personal against nobody.

I got no stake in this.

- I guess not.

- There's a limit how
much you can ask a man.

I got a wife and kids. What about my kids?

- Go on home to your kids, Herb.

- You get some of the other fellas, Will,

and I'll still go through with it.

- Go on home, Herb.

What do you want?

- I found him, Marshal,
like you wanted me to.

All but Mr. Henderson.

- I found him, thanks.

- You're welcome.

Marshal, listen, let me fight with ya.

I ain't afraid.

- No.

- Please let me, Marshal.

- You're a kid. You're a baby.

- I'm 16, and I can handle a
gun, too. You oughta see me.

- You're 14, and what
do you want to lie for?

- Well, I'm big for my
age. Please, Marshal.

- Well, you're big for
your age all right, but no.

Go on, get outta here. Go on.

Hey Charlie, you can go home now.

- Huh?

Oh, thanks Marshal.

I sure appreciate it. I certainly do.

You don't happen to know if
the saloon's open do you, Will?

- I said go home, Charlie.

- Yes, sir.

- So long, Helen.
- Goodbye Sam.

- Take care.

- Hello, Frank.

- How are you, Frank?

- Everything ready?

- Sure, just the way you want it, Frank.

- Yeah, we got your gun over here.

- Let's get started then.

- Can't you wait?

- Just wanna be ready.

- Miller!

Go!

Ya!

Ya!

Ya!

Ya!

Ya!

Hey!

- All right, Kane, come on out.

Come out or your friend here'll
get it the way Pierce did.

- I'll come out. Let her go.

- As soon as you walk through that door.

Come on, I'll hold my fire.
