Hello, micah. I've just met nils swenson on the road,

He said you wanted to see me.

That's right, you got a few minutes?

Well, mark an' I were gonna have dinner with milly.

Oh, this won't take long.

All right. Son, you go over an' get milly,

I'll meet you both at the hotel.

Sure, pa. Hello, mr. Hamilton.

Lucas?

Hello, john.

Did you uh...Tell 'im?

No, not yet.

Tell me what?

Well, this came in this mornin' from... Yuma.

$50,000!

That's right, all in cash.

It'll will be in tomorrow night on the yuma stage.

I'm gonna hold it in my bank for the army.

It's to pay for some texas beef arrivin' at fort sumner.

That's an awful lot of cash to be travelin' by stage.

Oh, it's safe enough.

They built a special strong box into the body of the coach.

And it can't be opened without the proper key,

Which I have here, an' it's too heavy to be moved.

Micah, you better hold this.

Now, the money is gonna have to be transferred by hand,

From the strong box into john's safe.

That's the only time it'll be vulnerable.

That's what we wanna talk to you about.

Micah will be standin' guard durin' the transfer,

But we'd both feel a lot better if you'd help us out.

All right, I'll be here early tomorrow afternoon.

Thank you, lucas.

A little extra caution never hurts, you know?

Especially where $50,000 in cash is concerned.

Well, I feel a lot better now, micah.

Would you care to join me in a beer?

I'd be delighted, john.

Oh...Excuse me.

It was a wonderful dinner. Thank you, lucas.

My pleasure, milly. This oughta help repay you for takin' care

Of this monkey tomorrow night.

You don't have to repay me, mark's always welcome.

Besides, we have fun playing checkers and reading.

Yup, an' you're still three games up

On me from the last time.

Well, we'll just have to see what we can do about that.

Son, do you mind gettin' the horses?

Uh... All right, pa.

If the stage is too late gettin' in, mark could spend the night.

Oh, I don't think that'll be necessary, milly,

It's always on time.

But...Well, carryin' all that money,

Would they keep to their regular schedule?

Oh, I don't see why not.

Like john hamilton said, it's safe at least till it gets here.

Then all we've gotta do is transfer it from the strong box

To the bank. It'll be well guarded.

You will be careful, won't you, lucas?

Stop worryin', milly.

Guess I can't help being a woman.

No, you can't.

Mark: All ready, pa?

Ready, son, good night, milly.

Thanks, lucas.

Night, miss milly.

Good night, mark.

Just be quiet now, quiet.

I don't want to hurt you, young lady, so don't you make a sound.

You do, an' it might be your last. You understand?

Andy, the windows.

Street's clear, mr. Sloan, looks like everyone's on his way home.

All right, I'm takin' my hand away now.

Don't make a sound, understand?

Perfect, this is just perfect.

How'd you get in here? What do you want?

Just be quiet, young lady, you'll find out in good time.

Tell me, does anyone ever have occasion to use your buggy shed,

Out back there?

Then our animals are as safe as we are.

What is it you want?

I do hope you'll pardon the intrusion,

But it's necessary that we keep you company for a while,

At least until tomorrow night.

Now, the more co-operative we are with each other,

The easier it will be.

Tomorrow night?

Yes, only until the yuma stage arrives.

No. No, you can't!

Mr. Sloan told you, don't you give us any trouble.

It's all right, andy.

I believe the young lady understands.

It wouldn't do for you to... Act up again, you know?

Andy sometimes uses his gun... On impulse.

Please, please will you go away?

We shall, when we are through.

Very nice, you've a very nice store here.

Surely you don't intend stayin' here until tomorrow?

I'm afraid we do.

But tomorrow's a work day,

People will expect the store to be open.

The store will be open as usual until it's regular closing time.

And all day long.

Just remember one thing, as I said before,

Andy sometimes uses his gun... On impulse.

He'll kill you, or anyone else for that matter,

Who interrupts our plans. Is that clear?

Ah, you fixed the rifle?

Yeah, it was just a firin' pin. It's workin' better now.

Yeah. Say, pa, where'd you put my saddle bags?

Where'd I put your saddle bags?

Yeah, I've been lookin' all over for 'em?

What would I be doin' with your saddle bags? Look under the bed.

Mark: Nope, not there.

Well, try the closet, then.

Mark: Not there either.

How about the kitchen? Look behind the wood box.

I found it. Wonder how it got there.

yeah, I wonder.

I'm all ready.

You feed the animals?

Yup, sure did, even milked the cow.

Did you clean out the well an' chop up the fire wood?

Everything's done just the way it should be.

Good, let's go.

Oh, pa, do we... Have to come home tonight,

After you finish your work with micah?

Oh, why not?

Oh, I don't know, it's...

Just that we haven't spent the night in town for a long time.

Oh. You know somethin', son?

I've worked hard buildin' up this ranch

An' someday it's gonna be yours. But I'm beginnin' to wonder.

'bout what?

Well, the way you like to go to town these days.

I'm wonderin' if wouldn't rather

Be a city slicker than a rancher.

Me?

Oh, you never say no to an opportunity

To go to north fork these days.

You know the time was when...

You used to like to stay here an' work the animals,

Fish in the pond, herd the cattle.

Well, I don't see you stickin' around any more

Than you have to, especially since miss milly showed up.

You know somethin', mark?

What?

You left the front door open.

An' you are gettin' too big for your breeches.

But, milly, I ordered that cloth over a month ago.

Surely it should be here by now?

Well, maybe it did come in.

There are some things in the storeroom

That I haven't unpacked yet.

Well, I-I'll help you look for them.

No, no, please, uh...

Things are in pretty much of a mess in the storeroom.

I'll look for it tonight.

But I need it today.

Mrs. Vernam, please, it's gettin' late,

Will you come back tomorrow?

Well.

May I offer you...My congratulations?

You did very nicely all day long, not a single slip-up.

You did fine, you-

What's the matter?

Who are they? who are they?

Lucas mccain an'... An' his son.

So?

The boy was goin' to stay with me while his father helped

The marshal take the money off the stage.

He comes here, you get rid of him.

Decisions will be made by me!

Sorry, mr. Sloan.

If the boy was to stay with you, so he shall.

If he's turned away, it might seem odd.

Suspicion would be cast in this direction, we can't afford that.

After all, he's only a boy.

No!

You have no choice, your life now depends on...What you do.

Yours, the boy's, yes, even his father's.

Hi, mark. Lucas boy? The stage won't be in for quite a while.

Well, I wanted to get mark settled. Where's john?

He's stayin' in the bank.

Well, should I just go over to miss milly's?

Come on, I'll walk over with you.

All right.

Meet me in the bank.

Fine.

They're coming.

Now, you do like mr. Sloan told you,

So help me we'll get that big sodbuster first.

People'd hear, you'd never get away with it.

Don't tempt me, lady, don't you tempt me!

I am sure the lady... Will co-operate.

Milly? Milly, you in there?

Milly? Hey, you closed early.

Oh, well, I-I was busy, I was checking my inventory.

Oh. Well, if mark can help you with that any,

You put 'im to work.

Oh, lucas? I thought maybe you'd stay an' eat with us.

I'm gonna bake an apple pie.

Oh, boy!

You can see apple pie is his department.

You behave yourself, boy.

Somethin' wrong?

Oh, mark.

What's the matter?

It sounded like you was gonna slip a little,

But you did just fine.

Who's he? What's he doin' here?

Mark.

What she's tryin' to tell you, kid,

Is for you to do like your daddy said.

Behave yourself an' nobody's gonna get hurt.

You better listen to him, boy.

As soon as we finish with our...Business here,

You won't have to worry about us anymore.

They're gonna rob the stage when it comes in.

No!

Milly: Leave that boy alone!

I'm gonna tell you what she already knows.

You try that again, somebody is gonna get hurt.

That goes for your daddy an' anybody else gets in our way.

You understand?

Listen to him, mark, it's the only thing we can do.

Did you hear what she said, boy? Take them in the back, andy.

Make sure they don't cause any trouble.

It's gettin' dark, it won't be long now.

Marshal an' the boy's father just come out.

Nice an' quiet.

Is that good?

Let's make a final check.

Stage should be here in about 10 minutes, I'd say,

Providing it's on time.

Well, young lady, you've done just fine, just fine.

In a while we'll be through with our business here

An' have left your little town far behind.

So don't spoil it with any...

Last-minute heroics.

Do you understand?

Son, tomorrow you can tell all your friends about it.

Howdy.

Evenin'.

First town I've seen in quite a spell. Sure is quiet.

Been travelin' far?

Yeah, just come down from the state plains.

Buffalo man, huh?

Used to be, still would be if I could find some buffalo.

They are sure dyin' out.

Well, you're in cattle country now.

Yeah, I know.

Well, I reckon I'll wash down some of the dust

I've been eatin'.

He made it, right on time.

Now, all we do is wait.

We wait.

Yes, mr. Sloan.

Micah, fella just rode in carryin' a buffalo gun

Said he'd come down from the state plains.

So?

His horse is dusty, but he's not sweaty.

Doesn't look to me like he's been ridin' very far.

Where is he?

In the saloon.

Let's take a look.

Here she comes.

How was the trip, oliver?

Fine, micah, fine.

Far as I'm concerned, we could have had a load of baby clothes

In that strong box.

Well, let's unload it.

All right. You got the key.

When they open the box, not until they open the box.

Lucas!

Pa.

I don't know what good locking the door is goin' to do.

Miss milly, were you scared?

Well, to be perfectly honest with you, I was really scared.

So was I.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

Well, that's that.

The money is all safely locked up in the vault.

Say, pa, why don't we go get micah an' mr. Hamilton an'

-An' go get somethin' to eat? I'm hungry.

Hungry? What about all that apple pie you ate?

Well, how could I eat with my mouth gagged

And my hands tied behind my back.

All right, all right. We'll get-

We'll get micah an' mr. Hamilton an' we'll get some apple pie.

Good. Come on.

Come on.
