Original subtitles

Bud Pierce,

wanted in Kansas for murder, New Mexico for larceny

and in Texas for bank robbery.

And I wanted him too.

Not for the crimes he had committed,

but what he was planning that concerned me.

My name's Jim Hardie,

special agent for Wells Fargo.

Now, throw down that knife before you cut yourself.

Hold it.

Throw it down.

Now, throw down your gun.

That's what I like,

a man that's full of cooperation.

What do you want?

Right now, I need your horse to put my saddle...

If you're thinking about going for that gun, don't.

Be a shame to have to kill you over a horse.

Better think twice, mister.

They hang men for horse stealing in this country,

as quick as they do for murder.

Well, I got no choice.

They're gonna hang me if I don't steal and

they might hang me if I do.

You got troubles, all right.

That's right, I got troubles.

Without you I haven't got a problem in the world.

Now, wait a minute.

You're down on your luck, maybe I can change that.

How?

You interested in making some money?

A lot of money? Keep talking.

Kinda hard to think let alone talk with your

gun staring me in the face

Well, now that's more like it.

Now, where was I?

You were talking about money

made a lot of it.

Some friends of mine are forming a partnership.

It's a big deal.

We could use an extra hand.

A man like yourself.

It'd be the chance of a lifetime.

And all I've gotta do is put up your horse

and my ability, is that it?

Providing, you got the ability.

I've got the ability.

Well, looks to me

like you've just joined an organization

with a future, Mister, uh,

Carpenter, Clint Carpenter.

Glad to know you, Clint.

I'm Bud Pierce.

Uh,

do you mind?

We're partners now, remember?

Our motto is, share and share alike.

Don't mind sharing

a cup of coffee with you.

When it comes to money,

what I've got belongs to me,

what you've got belongs to you.

A selfish, but, uh,

very understandable attitude, Mr. Carpenter.

Now, speaking of money,

Where'd you say we were gonna get it from?

I didn't say,

but since you're so curious,

the Wells Fargo stage company in Yuma.

We are talking about big business, aren't we?

Hurry up and get through that cup

so I can have some coffee.

Partner.

Why don't you put that bacon slicer away.

Making me nervous.

What's the matter, Clint?

You touchy about cold steel?

Only time I like a knife

is when it's laying on a table

alongside of a plate.

Yeah, lots of people feel the same way.

Me, I'd rather have a knife than a gun.

It's a good deal more quiet,

there's no arguing that point.

Yeah, and up close in the dark you can't miss.

How much longer we gonna hang around here?

Take it easy,

you'll live longer.

Now, if that's who I think it is

we'll be pulling out real soon.

If it's not who you think it is

you better get out of the way.

Put your gun away,

he's a friend of the family.

Hiya, kid, you're late.

Yeah, I know. I circled way around

to keep from being followed.

Lucky thing too, I found us an extra horse.

Yeah, well, that's Jubilee.

That's my horse.

A rattler spooked him this morning,

when I was throwing the saddle on him he ran off.

Well, you walk into 'em.

I got some news for you, Bud.

Is it all right to talk in front of him?

Go ahead.

The money arrived in Yuma this morning.

BUD: Now, that's what I've been wanting to hear.

You still scheduled to ride shotgun?

LEW: I sure am, as a matter of fact,

that's what took so long.

We got some special orders from Wells Fargo.

Well, given enough time I could figure it out by myself,

but we'd save a lot of time if you'd tell me what's going on.

Lew here works for the Wells Fargo company.

I see.

Come out of there.

Hello, Bud.

What're you doing here, Kathy?

Let's just say I couldn't stand

being separated from you any longer.

So I followed Lew from town.

Now you better get her out of here,

this is no place for a woman.

Yeah, that's my feelings too.

Bud's not sending me anywhere.

I've heard too much. How much?

Enough to know that you're planning a Wells Fargo hold up.

KATHY: I'm here and I'm gonna stay.

You're not giving me the brush off this time.

Reef isn't gonna sit still for this, Kathy.

That's your worry.

BUD: You've gotta get out of here.

I'm staying.

All right,

but keep out of the way.

Now, let's get moving.

Oh, come on, I'm tired.

Let's go in the morning.

I said we're leaving now.

Like I said, this is no place for a woman.

Hello, Reef.

You had orders to come alone.

Don't worry about the girl,

she's just along for laughs. Oh, sure.

Bud thinks so much of my sense of humor, he's even

promised to give me a part of his share.

She's lying.

I promised her nothing.

What about him?

Well, seen as I couldn't ride with you on account of my

face being plastered on every 'Wanted' poster in town.

I thought we could use another man.

You thought wrong, I got Taylor for the job.

And I told you I want no part of Taylor.

Beat it, quick.

Or do you want me to throw you out?

You hold it, Bud.

Before you start saying who's gotta go,

How much does he know?

BUD: Enough.

You got a big mouth.

I'd trust him before I would your friend Taylor.

Look, we got one job and two men for it.

Good bye, Taylor.

I was about to say the same thing to you.

Let's get one thing straight.

Nobody's leaving here ahead of anybody else.

And there's only one man staying.

Looks as if there's only one way

to settle this, mister.

We've got no quarrel.

Reef says we do.

REEF: I have to agree with him.

You and I can split a share.

Sorry, mister.

It's either you or me, all or nothing.

HARDIE: Don't try it.

Just get out.

That was uncalled for,

you didn't have to kill him.

Stop squawking.

I just cut you in on a share of the company profits.

And got rid of an enemy in the process.

Somebody remind me never to turn my back on you.

Taylor was a louse.

If I was a bounty hunter I'd get a reward for killing him.

So, you got rid of Taylor.

Now, what about the girl?

Let her stick around till after we're through here.

And then what?

Don't worry so much,

Come on, gimme a hand.

BUD: If everybody does their part we'll pull this off.

And nobody gets hurt.

Says him...

sitting here while you put your necks on the block

Shut up, you know I can't show my face in Yuma.

But Lew here riding shotgun

and a couple of my men on the coach as passengers,

we can stand off any posse they send against us.

You all set?

All set.

I'll be on the coach when it rides into Yuma.

They got their tickets?

For a round trip to a fortune.

What about the driver?

Is he a part of it?

Nope.

We gotta use their regular driver.

To make sure the Wells Fargo agent in Yuma

delivers the box to him.

Sounds like you've got it figured down to the pretty pat hand.

We've been planning this a long time.

It's water tight.

You still haven't told me what part I play in it.

All you and me have to do is to

hang around in front of the Wells Fargo station

and see that everything goes along all right.

And then when the stage pulls out,

we mount up and follow it.

Well, it does sound water tight.

BUD: It's fool proof.

If you're through with

the man to man conversation I'll join you.

Who asked you?

I never was one to stand on formality.

Where do I fit in?

You don't.

Thought I might ride into Yuma with them.

I'm staying here and you're staying with me.

That sounds like a cozy arrangement.

Well,

Here's to success, gentlemen.

I hope you all get what's coming to you.

Good morning.

Looks like I'm in time for breakfast.

Help yourself.

Looks like a beautiful day outside.

For a hold up you mean?

That's not exactly what I had in mind, but...

I suppose it's a beautiful day for that too, where's Bud?

Who cares?

I thought he was the reason you were here.

Oh, he is.

Then, why...

Let's just say I have my reasons.

Same as you.

What do you mean by that?

You know it took me a little while but I finally got you placed.

Go ahead.

I've met a lot of people who were just

faces without names.

But I remember your name,

Mr. Jim Hardie.

I've got you worried, haven't I?

Relax, they're out with the horses.

I was working in a saloon in El Paso

about four years ago

when you arrested a man for a Wells Fargo killing.

Now that you know my name, what're you gonna do about it?

Well, if I wanted to give you away

I'd have done it before now.

Then why didn't you?

Because having you here is exactly what I want.

I'm the one who tipped off the Wells Fargo company

that there was gonna be a robbery.

You really hate him that much, huh?

Bud Pierce is an easy man to hate,

especially when you've had three years to build up that hate.

Behind bars, Mr. Hardie.

Sure I was in love with him.

That's why I lied and

wouldn't tell who the guilty one was.

KATHY: Woman will do almost anything for a man she loves.

But he just forgot to tell me one little thing,

He already had a wife.

You know, it's a funny thing.

When I found out about it I couldn't even hate her.

I just felt sorry for her.

But now,

There's nothing I wouldn't do to spoil his water tight plan.

You may get the opportunity yet.

I'm gonna need some help.

I'm staying here with Bud, remember?

What if I could arrange it for you to go into town,

Sure, with his blessings, I suppose.

Well,

what're you two so chummy about?

Clint was just telling me about San Francisco.

Spending your money already, Carpenter?

Thinking about it's half the fun.

Well, let's get our hands on it first.

Do you ever think that there might be a hole

in this water proof plan of yours?

What's that?

You and the law.

With all of that gold involved they're bound to be there.

So what if they are hanging around?

We don't tip our hand, all they're gonna see is a stage pulling out, anyway.

Why take a chance if it isn't necessary/

You send Kathy in ahead of us.

HARDIE: She can tell the sheriff a story,

What kind of a story?

Any kind of a story that'll get rid of

he and his deputy for a little while.

Not a bad idea.

Wouldn't hurt to try.

I don't like it, Bud.

I think she'll stay right here with you.

What do you say?

You willing to stick your neck out once more?

BUD: For me?

I'll make it up to you.

I hope so.

Yeah, we're a little early.

Stage ain't up yet.

Ooh. Sorta quiet down today.

Well, it's twelve o' clock,

Everybody's inside having their dinner.

Maybe.

But it still don't feel good to me.

Ah, there's something wrong.

You just got a case of nerves.

Oh, ho.

Seems all right.

Lew gave us the signal.

That kid wouldn't recognize trouble if it walked up and bit him.

Come on, let's join 'em.

Too many people hanging around

in front of the Wells Fargo office

might make them suspicious.

I'll risk it, come on, let's go.

We're gonna be here a coupla minutes, gents,

if you wanna stretch your legs.

Howdy.

LEW: Nice day.

How's it going, Lew?

No complaints so far.

Well, you're about to get one.

What's wrong?

It's the law.

Just take it easy and get that guilty look off of your face.

I thought the girl was supposed to get 'em out of town.

Now, look, don't start until we find out what he wants.

Howdy, sheriff.

Morning.

Which one of you is Clint Carpenter?

I am, why?

SHERIFF: Don't make any bad moves,

you're under arrest.

On what charge?

You'll find out after we get you locked up.

Now move out, the jail's right across the street.

I wanna know what the charge is.

The charge is doing away

with a Wells Fargo inspector named Jim Hardie.

Give me the gun, Jim.

These are heavy boxes, eh, Lew boy.

See if you're man enough to hoist it up.

Be right with you, Doc.

You fellas better get aboard

we'll be pulling out in a jiffy.

Hold it, one moment.

You're all under arrest.

Hyah!

Hey, Jake!

Grab that strong box, after those horses!

REEF: We'll cover ya.

Throw down your gun, Reef.

Well, we got 'em all, Mr. Hardie.

All but one, thanks to the girl.

Where is she?

She rode out of town like a scared rabbit,

just a coupla minutes after she tipped us off.

I guess she's afraid we'd arrest her too.

Well, I think I know where she went.

You look after them.

Hyah!

There's no need for you risking coming back here.

Sheriff's gonna drop all charges against you.

I'm not so sure about that, Mr. Hardie.

And it was worth it.

Just to see the look on his face

when I told him that I'd squared accounts.
