Whoa. I'll get this ear
and you get on.

Whoa.

Let me get my seat, now.
Whoa, now.

- You got him?
- Yeah.

You got him, you got him?
All right. Go!

You let him know who you are, boy!

Yeah, boy!

You got him, Joe.
You got him!

- That's it, Joe.
- Whoa.

Kid looks pretty good.

Well, hell.

Yeah, I taught him
everything he knows.

How was the war?

Well, it was all right.
How was prison?

Glad to be out.

I'll bet.

Dock still in?

They might let him
out of jail someday

if he'd stop trying to escape.

You'd have done pretty good
if you hadn't pulled leather!

Like hell I did. I ain't never touched
a saddle horn in my life.

Howdy, Willis.

Little brother Joe
done went and shot up like a weed.

Happens that way.
Hey, you want to try a ride?

Hell, no, I don't. I leave that
to you and big brother Jess here.

Say, what is
the going rate these days

to get your brains
beat out on a saddle?

Same as always.
Dollar a day, beans, and hay.

- How long you been out?
- About a year.

- Doing what?
- White boy picking cotton.

Ma's gonna be happy to see you.

Hey, ma!
Will's home!

- Pa around?
- Oh, no. I ain't seen him in weeks.

He's off chasing honey ponds
and fritter trees as always.

That'd be James w. Newton, all right.

Everybody says he's a good man.

Just can't nobody figure out
what he's good for.

Ma, I've been dreaming about your
squirrel dumplings for four years.

And that's the last one, son.

Almost finished breaking
the ferguson Colt?

Yes, ma'am.
He ain't that tough.

I reckon we'll have about $10
by the end of the week.

Yeah, he still owes us four
from last week.

- You gonna go get it?
- Yeah. I will.

Willis, are you gonna stay on?
You can help us break some horses.

No, you let Willis finish his dinner.

No, little brother.
I'm just staying a bit.

Besides, I ain't horse-crazy
like you boys.

Well, it's nice to see
you ain't changed, Willis.

Well, you should have seen her, ma.

We was all set up.

Talking about getting married,

living on the 40 acres,
the whole bit.

And then some old jealous rat
went and told her old man

that I'd been in the penitentiary,
and that was it.

Cut me off,
couldn't see her no more.

He still wanted me to stay on
and work his crop.

Hell, I was the best cotton picker
he ever had.

Just didn't want
his beautiful daughter

hooked up with an ex-con,
was all.

A man gonna tell me that
i ain't good enough for his daughter,

but I'm good enough
to work his crop?

I said, "to hell with you."

I know it ain't fair, son.

But maybe you should've stayed
and tried to work it out.

How?
How, ma?

Like I tried to work it out
up in cottonwood?

When folks that knew me all my life
stood up, testified against me

in a court of law
and I ain't done nothing?

I'm gonna work some things out,
all right, ma. You just watch me.

If it ain't fair
when it's all said and done,

it's gonna be unfair
on my side of the fence.

Guide us to thy side, lord

guide us to thy side

the pathway of the lord's angels

can have no earthly goal

but good are cold and silver win

the devil wins your soul

guide us to thy side, lord

guide us to thy side

take wish god will pave,
his hour is now known

but he helps those
that help themselves

and protects
the weak from strong.

So where do you know
this fella from?

We were in the pen together.

His brother stole some cotton,
drug him down with him.

He didn't do nothing.

Kid's green, but he's got guts.

This here's my business associate.

How do you do?
Brentwood glasscock.

- Willie Reed.
- Nice to meet you.

You as well.

There's been a slight change
in plans, fellas.

I went out there and got it set up.

We're going in at 12 noon
instead of 12 midnight.

Slim, I didn't travel 300 miles

to stick a gun in someone's face.

Then you can hold the horses.

Night jobs is too much work anyhow.

- Well, I ain't afraid of hard work.
- This'll be a milk run.

Mr. glasscock?

The chief wanted y'all
to have a drink on him.

- It's Napoleon Brandy.
- Thanks.

Heard they hit another pool
south of town.

- Yes, sir. They sure did.
- Who's "they"?

Chief baconrind,
one of the osage millionaires.

Last year,
they wouldn't let him in here,

but the policy's changed.

Yeah? Why's that?

He bought the place.

- Oil, huh?
- Mm-hmm.

To Oklahoma, gentlemen.
The sooner state.

The sooner we get out of here,
the richer we're gonna be.

- You ain't gonna drink that?
- No.

Lordy, Indians drink anything.

I prefer to go in at night.

There's more time to do your work,

and there's a lot less people.

Look, there's an easy way to do this
and a hard way.

As long as I'm leader of this outfit,
we're gonna do it my way.

Which way is that, slim?

Why don't y'all relax?

I got this sheriff's pecker
in my pocket.

We just cut him in on the take,
that's all.

I still prefer nights.

Thanks a lot, Alvin.
See you next year.

Thank you, Mr. Williams.

- Howdy.
- Howdy.

Can I help you, sir?

This here's a bank robbery
and I want all your money.

Hands up, everybody.

Come on.

Howdy.

Do us both a favor
and just keep walking. Come on.

Lock him in that vault
and get that boy out of there.

Come on! Let's go!
They're leaving!

Why is this happening, slim?

Jesus!

Double-crossing bastard.

- Yeah?
- Glass, open up. It's me, Willis.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

Anybody see you come up here?

No, I come up the back.

That's avis, my wife.
Avis, this is will Reed.

- Howdy.
- Hello.

- Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
- Charmed.

Sorry to wake you tonight.

Well, they got slim.

I know.

Newspaper didn't say nothing
about him being dead, though.

- What did we get?
- What did you get?

Nothing. I got out alive.

Well, if all we got's mine,

it's not a hell of a lot.

Just some damn victory bonds.

If we got expenses for slim,

there's not more
than a few thousand there.

It's not worth all that aggravation.

I'm with you on the idea
of these night jobs, glass.

Yeah, now, I figure that
damn Jesse James routine we pulled...

Hell, that was over
at the turn of the century.

I tried to tell that idiot
there's less risk in night jobs.

Especially if you work
the smaller banks.

But we're gonna get the big banks

because that's where
the money's at.

The difference is,
we got to do it right.

Yeah, yeah,
we got to scout our locations.

We got to get the best cars,

gotta keep new tires on them,
and plan our routes.

I can take care
of the getting in and getting out...

And you got
the Nitroglycerin, right?

Oh, yeah.

So that's where you keep that stuff.

Yeah.

Avis is rather fond
of keeping it under the bed.

Aren't you?

These look promising.

None of those are traceable.

I suppose I could give you
70 cents on the dollar.

Ninety.

Eighty,

and I promise
never to tell anybody

where they came from.

Eighty would be good.

Eighty-five would be better.

And we promise
never to rob your little bank.

- Deal.
- Deal.

You know,
I'm retiring next month

and I've got some
information here

that might be valuable

to boys in your line of work.

It's a few square-door safes
i know about

in this part of the country.

'Course, it'll mean
a little investment on your part.

Can I help you?

- I like that red cross pin, avis.
- Thanks.

- You a nurse?
- I was. That's how I met Brent.

One day
he was just another patient

and then I ran off with him,

and, well, here we are,
casing a bank.

He takes all them powders and stuff.
He ain't sick or nothing, is he?

No, it's just him.

I wear this for luck.

How's she look, glass?

That list is genuine.

I knew that old man
was an honest criminal.

We can punch through the drum.
The box is an old rotten packer.

You can blow her
with the grease, yeah?

Oh, yeah.
Anything with a square door.

- It'll take it off there in one pop.
- All right.

What else is on that list?

Well, we got 41 banks here.

I figure we wait till these marks
are flush with that harvest money...

And then we take them...

One by one.

That's good.

Very good.

Who's gonna handle security?

Now we need security?

While we're in the bank, someone's
gotta be outside and watch our backs.

We'll find somebody.

I reckon I know some fellas
we can count on.

- What?
- I want a soda pop.

We'll get a soda pop.

Would you look at this?

My goodness.

Welcome to Omaha, boys.

- Howdy, Willis.
- What do you say, little brother?

- You look good.
- Yeah? I feel good.

- Jess.
- Look at Willis, the city slicker.

- You like that, boy? Like that?
- Well, yeah.

- Why'd you bring all that horse stuff?
- You said you had a job for us.

Well, I do have a job for you.
Just not that type of job.

What do you think of Omaha, boys?

Looks good.

Everything looks good

from the seat of a studebaker.

Oh, my. Oh, my.
Hello, darling.

Say good-bye to daddy there.
Say hello to me.

Oh, my goodness.

I like this town.

Look out!

Yep, it cost $1,900
off the showroom floor,

but this one's an even two
on account of these custom disks.

- Can you handle a car like this, Joe?
- Couldn't do no worse.

Good. That'll be part of your job.
Let's get you boys dressed.

I don't know about this, Jess.

Well, let's string him along
for a little while.

Yeah, you're looking sharp.

Look at him. Look at him.

Look at him!

- What do you do for a living?
- What do you do?

- I'm a manicurist.
- You are? A manicurist.

All right. What do you think
of these nails here?

- You need to come in.
- They need some help, don't they?

Hey, don't you look all spiffed up!

I was gonna say
the same thing about you.

Fellas, let me introduce y'all
to these two fine ladies.

This here is Catherine
and this is Madeline.

- Howdy, ma'am.
- Joe and Willis.

- Hi.
- So what business are you boys in?

Well, that's a mighty fine question.

Exactly what kind of businessman
are you, Willie?

A damn successful one.
Now, are you all coming?

Would you like to join us for dinner?

- Sure.
- Okay.

Well, all right.

Now, I don't tell
a lot of people this,

but I am good friends
with pancho villa.

No, it's the truth.
That's true.

He comes to Texas all the time,
i go to Mexico, we drink together.

He's always catching hell
in the papers.

I'm telling you,
he's a great man.

A great man, pancho villa.
A friend of mine.

You ever had a steak so thick?

Mm-mm.
No way, Willis.

I ain't never broke the law in my life.

The saddle's hard,
but at least it's honest.

I ain't never broke the law
in my life neither, little brother.

And they gave me
three years for it.

What about them watermelons
and chickens? That hog?

I ain't talking about that.

You're talking about
taking people's money.

Not people's money.
The bank's money.

Banks have been dealing dirt
to our people

since before we was born,
little brother.

It's time we dealt some back.

Farmers got their money
in them banks.

Insurance companies.

See, all the banks is insured now,

and that's who takes the loss.

Hell, they are the biggest crooks
of them all.

We are just little thieves stealing
from the big thieves.

That's all.

Have you turned
the little baptist yet?

We've got two pieces of cake
over there,

and they do have a friend.

It just don't figure up to me,
that's all.

Pa's been doing
his clean-living routine.

- It's rubbing off on the kid.
- Yeah.

Well, if the kid ain't up for it...

Well, it ain't like I'm afraid
or nothing.

- How's it look?
- Pretty dead.

Yeah?

Only an idiot would be out
on a night like this.

I don't know, Jess.

If somebody comes,
i don't think I can pull this trigger.

Listen, Joe,

we're gonna do
what we talked about.

We're not gonna kill anybody.

That's why we got these
loaded up with bird shot.

Just gonna get this over with,

and then we're gonna
get back to that cake.

All right?

- All right.
- All right.

You light the fuse
right after you pour it,

and you've got to pour it very steady.

Because if you get a gap
in that liquid...

It's gonna blow off crooked
and jam up.

See, dynamite blows out
in all directions,

but nitro shoots straight out.

Anything that's not
nailed down in here

is going right out that door
over there.

How long you been doing this?

Too damn long.

According to the odds
and the gods...

You only get to make
one mistake with this.

Then they walk
around the edge of the crater...

And if they find a finger or toe...

Well, that's what they bury.

We should probably leave now.

What if they
blow themselves up in there?

Well, I reckon you'll be
the first to know.

Whoo!

Stop that noise!

Who are you
and what are you doing down there?

Go back to bed, lady.

I got a fire siren up here.
Do you hear me?

Yeah, well, there ain't no fire.

And if you don't tell me
what you're doing,

I'm gonna crank it up.

You touch the damn siren, woman,
I'm gonna blow--

sorry to wake you, ma'am.

We're repairmen.
We're down here trying to fix a lock.

Oh, no, you're not.

Not at 2:00 in the morning.

Look, you touch the damn siren,

I'm gonna blow your whole building
to kingdom come!

Hey, I said turn that off!

You're bank robbers, that's what
you are! You're bank robbers!

Somebody catch these men.
They robbed the bank!

- Don't make me come up there!
- You're mean, you know that?

- Somebody stop these men!
- Whole damn town's

gonna be here in a minute.

- Jess!
- What?

Get in there and carry that silver.
We're getting it all. Whoo!

- Where?
- Behind the smoke!

Catch them!
They robbed the bank!

That's my money in that bank!

- Well, it's our money now.
- No!

Go back to bed!
All y'all!

All is well. All is well.

Let's go!
Pick your feet up, boy!

- It's like lead shot, Willis.
- Hell, when I was your age,

I could've passed you
running backwards with that load, Joe.

- Get it all?
- Still a calendar in there.

Look at them idiots
shooting at each other!

It's a hell of a way to make a living.

Whoo!

I wanna ship this back to Texas, miss.

Well, whatever you say, Tex.

Ain't you a little young
to be running a hotel?

Well, ain't you a little young
to be staying here all by yourself?

Yeah.

Good evening, ma'am.

What can I get for you?

You got any out-of-town papers?

No, sorry.
You might want to try the depot.

I tell you what.
How about that one right there?

- "The police gazette"?
- Yeah. Sounds good.

Let me get that for you.

I was gonna say
only criminals read the tabloids,

but you don't look like
any criminal I ever met.

Well, you'd be right about that.

- Nickel for the paper?
- Yes, please.

So, what's fun to do in Omaha?

Well, you could chew gum.

It's been nice chatting with you,
but I have to close up now.

Looks like we're going
to the same place.

Piece of wrigley's?

- Hey, Louise.
- Hey, Kat. How are you doing?

Howdy. Will Reed.

Old friend of Louise's here.

- Hi there.
- So how do you two know each other?

Well, that is a wild story.

I'll let you tell it.

Boy, that is a wild story, isn't it?

Matter of fact,
it was 16 years ago to the week.

I was frog-gigging
right down in gracey creek.

I come around the corner
and who do I see

bogged down to her knees in mud
with a frog

stuck on the end of her gig

but miss Louise here.

Boy, we got a lot
of catching up to do.

Yeah, I guess we do. We do.

Louise, frog-gigging-

two on a match?

No, thank you.
I make it a habit to stay too busy.

Busy doing what?
Gigging frogs?

No, I'm an oilman.

Really?
You have oil Wells and all that?

Yep. Working on one right now.

She's a real wildcat.

You have quite a line, Mr. Reed.

Well, my friends call me Willis, Louise.

Say, you ever heard of this place
called the argosy ballroom?

Yeah.

What do you say you and I get on
over there on Saturday night?

- I have to tell you something.
- What's that?

I have a son.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- What's his name?
- His name is Lewis.

He's 10 years old.

His father died in the war.

I love kids.
Why don't you bring him along?

We'll go to the picture show instead.

Well, I think he would
like that very much.

And you?

There you are.
Sorry I'm late.

- Arthur, this is Mr. Reed.
- Will Reed. Pleased to meet you.

Arthur Adams.

Arthur owns the cigar stand
where I work.

You ready to go?

There's more money in that pile
than pa made in his whole life.

You got that right.

As long as you're telling this here
Louise you're an oilman,

why don't you just be an oilman?

Hell, I will be soon.

If you boys are smart,
you're gonna invest with me.

Oil, huh?

Well, good luck to the both of you.

Any money I make I'm putting
straight into stocks and bonds.

You're what?

Silk stockings
and bonded whiskey.

At least till I get myself killed.

- You want avis to carry your share?
- No.

Put that thing away, Jess.
Nobody knows us around here.

Yeah, who's that?

The law.

Looking for a bunch
of no-good Newtons.

So you finally
wore them tracking dogs down.

God almighty!
Dock, you son of a bitch!

- They finally let you out?
- "Let"?

- Well, hell, I escaped.
- Hot damn good to see you, hoss.

It's good to see you, brother.

Well, who's this?

Joe.

- Your brother.
- Joe!

Joe, I haven't seen you in a long time.

Well, damn if this don't call
for a celebration.

Willis, you weren't lying
in that letter you sent me?

Hell, no.

Got 5,000 in cash
and 3,000 in bonds on this mark here.

Well, to hell with picking cotton.

God damn it, Willis.

Joseph,joseph.

You got my hair, you--

what about Willie hart?

William hart's good,
but I like tom mix better.

Tom mix?

Yeah, but them outfits he wears
is kind of fruity, don't you think?

He can rope and ride
better than any of them.

I want to be a cowboy
when I grow up,

but mother says
i have to stay in school.

Well, your ma's right about that.

You don't stay in school, you're gonna
end up picking cotton all your life.

That don't sound
like too much fun, does it?

No.

- What's next?
- Could we get a chocolate soda?

Lewis!

How about a triple chocolate soda
with a big scoop of ice cream?

- Okay.
- That sound good?

I'll race you for it.
Ready, set, go.

Watch it.
There's your ma.

I got him, Joe. I got him.

It's like a six-pointer.

Yeah.

Some hunting season
this turned out to be.

I tell you what, boys.

We hit every bank on this list

and I guarantee we gonna
make enough money to retire.

Then y'all get to do
all the hunting you want.

What do we need that
glasscock fella around for?

There's enough of us.

Well, I'll tell you why, hoss.

'Cause he knows his grease

and every damn criminal
between Canada and Mexico.

While you two are back there drinking
and farting around,

him and avis are off
scouting the marks.

I think we should get
in the booze business.

Everybody knows that all
the big money's in bootlegging now.

Yup, and where's all that money
gonna end up, Jess?

- I don't know.
- In a bank, that's where.

Willis thinks it ain't wrong
because all them banks is insured.

To hear him tell it,
you'd think we were doing them a favor.

See, if nobody ever robbed a bank,

then all them insurance companies
would go broke

- because nobody would need them.
- That's right.

I take it you ain't working today, Jess?

What's she read, Joe?

Fourteen-six, since the last time.

All right. This getaway map's
got to be perfect, Joe.

We oughta be able to drive this route
with the headlamps off.

When do we get out, Willis?

Where's it end?

When we're millionaires,
that's when.

How much is
a million dollars, exactly?

A million, hoss, is a one

and that many zeros.

...you got more guns and running,

you got more crime,
and it just ain't worth it.

You done yet?

I'm just giving this fella
my opinion of this new prohibition.

You ain't any less of a drunk now
than was when hooch was legal.

That's exactly my point.

That particular law
ain't really doing its job, is it?

Let's go, Jess.

- You got a wife?
- Mm-hmm.

- You got kids?
- Mm-hmm.

All right. Here you go.

Now, if I get arrested,
you've got to bail me out.

- Mm-hmm.
- All right, all right.

Have a good night.

Who knew making money the easy way
would be so damn much trouble?

It's colder than a bull's balls
in a blue norther.

It's colder than a day-old dumpling.

Colder than pa's ass
at plowing time.

Well, I guess this may encourage folks
to write more often.

- Well, boys, it's our lucky night.
- Oh, yeah?

Yeah. I was up on that pole
and I was thinking.

I done decided
we're gonna get that other bank, too.

Hell, Willis.
I'm tired already.

What are you talking about?
Both banks?

Hell, yeah, both banks,
and at the same time.

It's so cold out here,
there won't even be a dog barking.

Jess, go with glass,
dock, you come on with me,

and, Joe, you soldiering
the whole damn street. All right?

- Two banks?
- Yeah. What do you say?

- Okay.
- All right.

Glass, what's your watch say?

Willis, are you positive
you can blow that safe?

Sure, he can.

Why you got to be questioning
every damn thing?

When the 2:40 freight whistle blows,
you light your fuse

and let's get the hell out of here
to someplace a little bit warmer.

Well, let's go, boys.

- Willis?
- Yeah?

- Do you know the money's in there?
- It's a bank, ain't it?

What?

Stand back and let me show you
the two-step method.

What the hell are you talking about?

Step one.

Step two.

That's an awful big shot
you're pouring.

Yep.

Like ma always said...

God hates a coward.

Whoa, mister.
Whoa, now. Whoa.

- You're gonna have to go another way.
- There ain't no other way.

Well, turn around, then.
It ain't safe.

I'm too tired for your nonsense.
Get out of my way, boy.

Giddap there!

You are a real desperado, Joe.

I told him it wasn't safe.

But you said he...

He threatened to--
what was it?

Blow up your entire family
with dynamite?

Well, now, that was just at first.

I can't remember too much,
but he was friendly.

Kind of funny.

You know we sent out a posse
and that airplane, too.

Oh, yeah. I know.

Believe me,
these fellas are long gone.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Mr. aldrich.

I'll buy all of that gum.

- Well, hello, stranger.
- Hello, Lou.

Matter of fact,
I'll buy the whole damn cigar stand.

One of my Wells just come in.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

I was figuring, that bigheaded boss
of yours isn't here,

I slip one of these hundreds
in the till for the daily profits,

sneak you out of here,
we take a slow drive in the country.

What do you say?

Willis, I don't know.

- Two hundred. Three hundred--
- Will Reed?

That's him.
He's one of them.

I'll be back in just a second, love.

Ma'am, gentlemen.
Can I help you with something?

Come upstairs with us and
explain what we found in your room.

Well, I don't see how
that's any of your business.

But come to think of it,
shouldn't be a problem.

What did they do?

They just searched me,
made me put this on.

Well, get it off.

- What for?
- Because you got a--

that's them, all right.

I know them voices anywhere.

Had on that same red sweater.

- Thank you very much, sir.
- That's what for.

Take him on back down.

Lying son of a bitch!

I ain't never seen that
old man in my life.

Tomorrow morning,
you boys are gonna be indicted

for robbing
the motion picture theater.

If you got a statement you care to make,
I'll be down the hall.

Oh, I got a statement for you!

- That old man can't even see!
- Settle down, Joe.

We didn't rob no damn picture show
and you know it.

Yelling ain't gonna do us
no good at this point.

They got us here.

We got to figure out
how to get the hell out of here.

We wasn't within
five hundred miles of here that night.

They can't prove
we robbed nothing.

Hell, boy, they just did.

Hey, don't you get it?

This here's a shakedown.
Congratulations on your first one.

They already got that 2,000
from our room.

Which is, I'm sure,
three times the amount

that was stole
from the picture show.

Willis.

All the time I was growing up,
you and dock,

you was off in the penitentiary

and god knows where else.

I never knew it was like this.

Lord help me, I never knew.

Well, it is, little brother. It is.

But don't you worry, though,
because we're gonna get more.

Now, I'm about to show you

why we wear

our savings account.

Jailer! Let me out of here.

I've got a confession.

Sweet boy

syncopate your mama
all night long

with that dixieland strain

play it down

then do it again

every time I hear that tune

good luck says,
"I'll be with you soon"

that's just why
I've got the milenberg joys.

Take it, boys.

Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I think you're very attractive.

So you're not an oilman,
are you?

What do you mean by that?

Well, you know,
there's talk around the hotel...

And all that money they found
in your room.

All that money?

Me and my brothers
made that money gambling.

You're a gambler?

No, I am no such thing.

I'm just making money right now
playing high-stakes poker and such

so I can be that oilman.

You two look like
fine young gentlemen.

Why don't you come out here
for a second?

Hey, little darling.

Now, I have a question for you.

What I am is a businessman,

like a lawyer or someone
playing the stock market.

I'm just making a living.
Do you follow me?

Yeah, okay.

All right.

I thought you boys said
you were oil men.

Oh! That's a lie!

You hear about those two banks
'm Honda, Texas'?

We did that.
He robbed one, I robbed the other.

We went in there and I said,
"let's get them both."

- We're rich.
- Yeah, and goddamn you, uncle Sam.

I am a veteran.
I fought the kaiser near single-handed.

- My brother, the war hero.
- Hell, yeah.

Never got out of camp.

- Don't interrupt!
- Just New Jersey.

I can outdrink, outride,
and outrope

any member of this congregation.

And I will lick any man
that says different.

And I will lick you
if you say different.

Ninety-four, ninety-five.

Well, hell, yeah, there's a pattern.

One, they've all been robbed.

And two,
my company had to pay out.

And now it's up to the federal
government to bail you out,

right?

Square-door safes
blown with precision,

no rough stuff,

couple of men outside for security,

and the few watchmen
they've taken

say they're just a bunch of

"please" and "thank you"
country boys.

If I got that much money
in two years,

I believe I'd say
"thank you," too.

Half the banks are clipping
the association

for a hell of a lot more
than was stolen.

Damn bankers think it's a license
to steal now that they're all insured.

You oughta just
double the premiums

on any bank that won't spring
for a round safe.

That's just fine.

In the meantime,

what is my government
gonna do about this bunch?

We're after them.

And when we catch them,

we're gonna put them away.

- Are we there yet?
- Get back to sleep. You're next.

- So how'd we do, anyway?
- I don't know. We've done better.

- We'll do the count in the morning.
- All right. Get some sleep.

'Night, boys.

Willis Newton.

If it ain't my old partner.

Seems you done all right for yourself
after we parted company.

Get yourself a top-notch crew
and all.

Well, slim,
the only crew I got's drilling for oil.

- So how the hell are you?
- Can't complain.

Thought we might talk
a little business.

So where you working these days?

Chicago.
Things are hopping there.

Big fix is in.

Cops, politicians, judges.

Hell, they even bought
the world series.

- Boy, you must be in heaven.
- Yeah.

Put you onto some sweet
business opportunities.

We even have a mutual friend.

Murray, one of your laundry fellas.

I tell ya, slim, those days
are pretty much over for me.

But I do appreciate the offer.

Yeah.

If for any reason
things don't turn out how you figured...

Look me up in Chicago.

There was some creep outside earlier
who wanted to talk to you.

It was just some old guy I knew
way back when.

What are you doing
sitting in the dark?

Hey, what's the matter?

What's wrong, baby?

Willis, do you trust me?

Whoa, whoa.
Tell me what happened.

Did he say something
to upset you?

No.

I went to the bank today

to put your business things
in the deposit box.

I didn't want to fold up
the oil lease papers,

but the box was too small,
so I opened it.

Willis, there was
so much money in there.

I know you haven't
made any money in oil yet

and you can't be winning
that kind of money gambling.

And I've seen you sign in at hotels
under all these different names.

Reed, Rogers...

I found something in yourjacket
that said your name was Newton.

Reed isn't your name, is it?

Why, Lou?

I don't even know your real name.

I don't see how that matter much.

You know that's just a part
of my business.

- Am I just a part of your business?
- No, I didn't say that.

What is your business?

You know what my business is.

I don't think I do.

Anyway, I put all that money
in a savings account.

You what?

It's too much money
to just be put in a box.

Oh, no.

No. No, no.

You really shouldn't
have done that, honey.

Why not?
The deposit box is in my name.

You put the car in my name.

When it comes to money,
you do what I tell you.

But if it's going to be in my name,
i think I have a right.

Listen, I got that money
from a bank robbery.

From robbing a bank!
Are you happy now?

A savings account?!

Are you trying to get me
thrown in the pen?

- They can track that stuff, Lou.
- You're a bank robber?

My god, I'm in love with you.

A bank robber?
And a big liar!

Don't go acting like
I'm the only one

that's been telling stories
around here.

Don't do it.

- What?
- What?

Like Lewis' daddy
being killed in the war.

Oh, yeah. Well, in fact,
he's still kicking around somewhere

- and you're still married to him.
- You don't know anything about my life.

You have no idea.

No, I don't, and you sure as hell
weren't gonna tell me, were you?

At least I'm not stealing from anyone
or almost getting myself killed.

God damn it, Lou.
I was born into nothing.

Nobody ever gave me nothing, neither.

So it's real simple.

You do what you got to do
to get through this world

and I do what I got to do.

But you're a bank robber.

Yeah.

I rob banks.
That is what I do.

It's what I'll keep doing
until I make enough money

from my oil business.

Louise,

I love you.

I want to be together all the time.

When I think about us,
I'm thinking about forever.

Then why didn't you tell me?

I was afraid you'd leave me
if you found out.

I wouldn't have left you.

See, no matter
how much money you have,

you've got nothing

if you can't trust someone
as close to you as I am.

Do you understand that?

Yeah.

I tell you what.

This next trip,
we're going up to Toronto

and I want you to come with me.

What?

I'm in love with a man
and I don't know even know his name.

- You do, too.
- No, I don't.

Name is Mr. Newton

and you are my Mrs. Newton.

The guns go down under here.

You put 'em under a douche bag
and the customs man won't touch it.

What about the Nitroglycerin,
do you carry that, too?

No.

Do you ever get afraid?

I mean, what if they get caught?

That's not a lucky question.

Evening, ma'am.

Mary had a little lamb

her daddy killed it dead

now it goes to school with her

between two chunks of bread

Mary, Mary, Mary...

What?

Mosler, son of a bitch,
is 11 inches thick.

She's shabby, shot,
and short and too, too, too...

When I started out, you could punch
through a vault door with a Jimmy bar.

Could they not sing?

It's gonna take a hell of a lot
of explosives to blow that.

That's all right.

We got a hell of a lot of explosives.

Can I be brutally honest with you,
Willis?

Shoot, glass.

Never mind.

Damn.

Son of a bitch
looks 11 inches thick to me.

What the hell have we got here?

- How do you get that open?
- You don't.

A month ago,
they didn't have a round safe.

These are worthless.

Damn it, glass. Don't tell me
we come all the way to Canada for this.

You blink your eyes
and everything changes.

Registered goddamn bonds,
controls on explosives,

round-door safes,
cannonball safes,

goddamn bureau of investigation

chasing you across state lines!

Oh, god, what did I do?

I thought you said you didn't smoke.

I didn't say I didn't smoke.
I said it was a waste of time.

Just like this whole damn trip
to Canada.

Well, what about our vacation?

Hey, come on, let's get off here.
Come on.

I'm glad they're changing the safes.

I mean, you said you were done
with all that anyway.

You mean to tell me
it's right out there on the street?

It's the dumbest thing
you've ever seen.

These canucks take
all the currency to one place, right?

They count it out, they swap it out,
and then walk the shit

right back out in the street.

- What about guards, Willis?
- There ain't no guards!

- Hey, no guards?
- Just two canucks and a bag of money.

- Just stick a gun in their face.
- Boom, they drop the bags.

- Simple snatch and run.
- It'll be just like

stealing old tobe Roberts'
watermelons.

- Hey there, Louise.
- Hey, Lou.

Just talking to the boys
about a little business.

- How are you, beautiful?
- Howdy, ma'am.

I never thought we'd go back to this
broad-daylight,

Dalton boys kind of thing, Willis.

What's the matter?
Your stomach bothering you, glass?

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

This is gonna be
a lead-pipe cinch, boys.

Everybody know what to do?

I think I know the plan.
You grab the bag and we'll protect you.

- So is this the spot?
- Yeah.

Little bit more, Joe,
little bit more.

I thought it was right back there.

Little bit more.

We ain't gonna get that one bag.

We're getting all them bags.

Go to hell.
That ain't the plan.

Well, the plan just changed,
god damn it. We're getting it all.

Oh, shit.
Here they all come.

Dock, get that one there,
glass and Jess, you take them two,

and I got this one
coming right at us.

Well, come on, you sons of bitches.
You want to live forever?

Drop the bag or I'll blow you
straight to hell. Drop it!

Drop the bag
and get your hands up. Let's go.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Give me the bag.
Give me the bag!

- It's a holdup!
- Shit.

Drop it.

I said drop it,
god damn it.

You stupid sons of bitches.

Get him!

Don't move.

Call the police.

- Police!
- They've got guns!

Hold it right there!

What are you doing
with that damn gun?

Shit! God damn it!

God!

Get off me,
you ignorant canuck bastard!

Get off my leg.

Get the hell out of here,
you son of a bitch. Get out of here!

Get off my leg.

God damn it. Shit!

Stop them! Stop them!

Jesus!

Let 'em go.

Get out of here!

- Hold it right there.
- Drop the goddamn gun.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Joe.

- Come on. Go.
- Drive.

- Drive, drive!
- Get dock on the way.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

- Let's go.
- Come on.

Get down, Jess!

Where the hell were you?

- Jesus.
- Damn it.

- Oh, gosh.
- What the hell was that back there?

You trying to kill us all, huh?

What a fiasco.
Everybody in Toronto saw us, Willis.

Well, we sure didn't see you!

Where the hell were you,
you yellow bastard?

Didn't fire a shot.

Listen to me, you idiot.
I'm not supposed to fire a shot.

You're not supposed to fire a shot.
We're supposed to be backup, Willis!

You back up any further,
you'd be in Chicago.

I'm a professional, Jess!

- I stick to the plan.
- Plan? What plan?

Everybody, shut up.
It ain't over yet. Got it?

We're gonna see you two
back in the states.

Why didn't you just call the radio
and tell 'em we were coming, Jess?

- Stupid.
- There's some windows

- you haven't shot out yet!
- He had no idea what was going on.

- Where the hell was he?
- I know.

I thought you were dead.

They made an announcement at the track.
Everybody's talking about it.

- I'm fine.
- They said one of the gang was dead.

Nobody was hurt.
We got away.

Willis, we've got to get out of here.

I was so stupid today, Lou.

I wanted it all.

I almost got my brothers killed.

I don't know--

I don't know
how we got out alive, Lou.

Hey, I know that gal.

Went to Sunday school with her.

In Parsons.

How much you think
was in those bags?

Whatever it is,
it ain't worth it.

"All four wounded bank employees
have been treated."

Bunch of stupid,
thickheaded canucks.

"Six bandits got away
with an estimated $200,000."

Hell, maybe 80.

Them damn canucks
are pencil-whipping

the insurance companies
just like back home.

You tell me, Lou,
who's the criminals here?

"They are believed
to be American citizens,

one of which is thought to be
critically wounded.

Police are combing
hospitals and doctors' offices,

hoping to find a trail of blood
that will lead them to the perpetrators

of this shocking crime."

Wouldn't have been
no shocking crime

if they just would've just dropped
them bags like a regular person.

Lou, you coming at me, right?
You got a bag--

out of nowhere comes a gun.
What do you do?

Boom, drop the bag.
I pick it up, I'm gone.

How hard is that?

Goddamn.

- Willis?
- Mm-hmm.

You have to promise me
this was the last bank robbery.

Damn right
it was the last bank robbery.

Because from now on,
it's the oil business, and that's it.

You're crazy.

Why don't you tell me
about this oil well?

- This oil well?
- Yeah.

- It's out in west Texas.
- Yeah?

- I even got a name for it.
- What is it?

I'll give you one guess.

Them big outfits been using
them high-dollar rotary rigs.

I don't care about none of that.

I put everything I got
into this here rig.

Where's my oil?

Hell, Mr. Wilson, they done stuck
too many straws in this soda.

There ain't no pressure left.

Let me see if I got this straight.

I put your ass in charge.

I've been paying you top dollar
for over a year now.

I show up today and you tell me
i got a chickenshit rig,

I'm getting outdrilled
by the bigwigs,

and you got nothing to show me
for it but a goddamn dry hole?

No, there was oil down there.
They got it all!

Ain't a damn thing I can do about it.

Let me just put it to you simple.

Just like an old sow's belly:
Six tits, seven pigs.

Looks like you're number seven.

Well, so who do we go after?

Every one of them
carpetbagging sons of bitches.

Go ahead!
That's standard oil over there.

John d. Rockefeller
from New York City.

Right there is Gulf oil, Mr. mellon.
He's a northerner too.

Go on, get him while you're at it.

Big city boys with deep pockets.

Hell, boy,
you ain't gonna get enough oil

out of that hole to part your hair.

That goes for all of you.

Every one of you lazy
sons of bitches is fired!

Come on, Joe.

Willis, I wish you'd
have let me do that.

What the hell you looking at,
Betty Crocker peckerhead?

Either one of you two know
where Jess run off to?

I got a good idea.
Why?

Let's go get him.

Ladies and gentlemen,
it's booger red's wild west show.

It's entertainment for the entire family

and education for the children.

You'll see the star-spangled pig...

- First place.
- He can't read.

First place.
Three times this week.

Looks good, big snakes,
but we got a real job for you.

- Are you ready to go?
- Well, I got a job doing what I like.

What, this?
This ain't real, Jess.

It's a damn zoo.

It is real.
It is real fun.

We're broke, Jess.

Yeah.

What are we gonna do?

We're gonna rob something.

Yeah, all right.

That well was a duster.

- Well, that explains it.
- Come on.

You run out of money
and you need me, Willis?

Look at the big oilman go.

Get off me.
What you doing with my bag?

So you boys lost all your money?

Well, at least
i know where mine went.

There's something
i want to ask you boys.

Well, you never ask us
anything, Willis.

Why don't you just tell us
what you decided?

Now, settle down.

All right.

All right, it's this.

Banks are pretty much over for us.

They've all gone
to cannonball safes.

There's hardly any
victory bonds left.

Most folks are putting their money
in the stock market these days.

Or oil Wells.

What are we gonna do, Willis?

I got something in Chicago

and, boys,

this is the big one.

I still got to check it out closer,

but I got fellas
working on the inside.

- I don't know, Willis.
- Yeah. Hell, Chicago?

- What's wrong with Chicago?
- I don't know.

"Hell, Chicago," since when you been
gun-shy about traveling, Jess?

- I don't like the white sox.
- Yeah.

Boys, I'm talking about
getting out of this game.

- We are out of the game.
- I'm talking about a couple of million.

- A couple of million dollars?
- Well, now that's interesting.

- That's a lot of money.
- That is a lot of money.

Yeah.

I'm talking about our children
and grandchildren

- not growing up on dirt.
- We won't have no kids we get killed.

Ain't nobody gonna get killed.

So banks are over for us.
So what?

What are we doing
but getting desperate?

That's when it gets dangerous.
You know that, Willis.

This ain't gonna be no Toronto, Joe.

I promise you that.

- Well, I only got one question.
- What's that, hoss?

Boys, do you know the money's there?

- Aw, Joe.
- Joe!

I can't believe you lied to me again!

That's before I got swindled
out of my oil and lost $100,000.

Besides, Lou, I said no more bank
robberies, didn't I?

This here's a train.
It's safer.

- Oh, god!
- I can't quit while we're busted.

You promised me no more jobs.
You said you were finished with that.

Well, I wanted to be
and I should have been.

Hell, I lost almost everything we had
trying to be legitimate.

God don't want me to be legal, Lou.

I've tried and tried my whole life.

My whole life
and I keep getting pulled back in.

But we still have more money
than most people do.

You know we ain't most people.

Besides, I owe the boys something.

They're not the ones
who want the money, Willis, you are.

Yeah, I am, but I'm the one who's got
to take care of everyone.

Will you forget everyone else
and think about yourself?

What's wrong with you?

Do you think you're the only man
who got a raw deal in this world?

No, but I'm the one
who's not gonna take it lying down.

You see?
You're never gonna get out of this.

Go on.
You go get your million dollars,

but someday you are gonna be alone,
Willis Newton,

- starting in about 10 seconds.
- Lou, stop, stop.

Get out of the car.
Get out of the car, Lou.

We're going to mother's.
Don't you bother us.

I want to stay with Willis.

See? See?

- What do you want?
- Name's Willie rice.

- Friend of Murray's.
- Come on in.

- Hey, Willie.
- Murray.

Glad you could make it.
Any trouble finding the place?

- None at all.
- Good. Come on.

Wait'll you hear about this setup.

It's the sweetest deal
i have ever stumbled over.

I grew up with this bird.
Bill fahy's the name.

Little punk kid out back
of the stockyards.

Puny little bastard.
Saved his bacon more than once.

Anyway, he goes legit

and becomes a postal inspector,
of all things.

Then two months ago,
they transfer him from D.C.

Back to his old neighborhood.

He likes the girls
and he likes the ponies.

Now, with the girls,
you pay them enough,

they always finish in the money.

But the ponies...

He's in deep
with some serious people.

More than a postal inspector
makes in a lifetime.

Anyway, he comes to me,
and he says--

Jimmy, I get the picture.

Let me introduce you.

I want you to meet somebody.

Don't tell me your name.
It doesn't matter.

You're a friend of his or he wouldn't
even buy the first round,

chiseling bastard.

Nice girls, huh?

Hey. It's the man
i was telling you about.

The one that's gonna help us out.

Details, details.

Hey,buddy.
Details is my middle name, all right?

That's why I want to know everything
there is to know about this mail train

that I've been hearing about.

I'll supply the guys,
the gas, the guns, the guts.

You boys can sit back and split even
with everybody on the ground.

Can you handle that?

Yes, sir.

Good.

The consignments come down
every Thursday on the 57 train.

The Milwaukee registers
are the pay dirt.

Last week, it was 63 bags...

Insured for three million.

And sometimes
the federal reserve

loads extra bags
at the last minute.

I'm gonna check all this out,
then do some planning on this train.

Afterwards,
any laundry work needs doing

on the bonds or the new mint money,
you take it at five percent, Murray.

- Ten.
- Seven and a half.

Done.

It's gonna be dark out there tonight.

So I think it's a good idea
if we wear these light hats

so we can identify one another.

How do we know
we're not being set up?

Shit, Joe. Wait.

We're from Texas,

and these fellas must know
plenty of thieves in Chicago.

- Yep, and the thieves know them.
- Chicago's run by the mob, Joe.

Irish, Italian, whatever.

Someone makes a score,
they got to fork a big chunk of it over.

A bunch of country boys like us ride in
there, do the job, and we're gone.

- They get no tax from the big boys.
- Gone.

Mail train's a federal offense, Willis.
Federal.

Joe, breaking the law's
breaking the law.

We ain't talking no little robbery here.

No, we sure as hell ain't talking
no little robbery here.

And when the heat's on,
we got our friend on the inside

who's gonna be
running the investigation.

I just got one question.

Hell, yeah, the money's there.
Three million dollars' worth.

I just seen it through
a little peephole downtown.

God damn it, boys.

This is everything
we've been working towards.

We got a job to do here
and if we do it right,

it's the last one.

It's too much money, Willis.
How do we get away with that?

It's like killing someone.
They ain't just gonna let it go.

- We'll be in Mexico.
- You ain't up for it today, Joe?

- I ain't saying that, it's just--
- Joe, here's your chance. You want out?

That ain't it and you know it.

I'm in.

I'm just asking, are you sure?

All right.

Boys...

We're fixing to make history.

All right. Get up and get off, boys.
This here is my train.

Scram, boys. The bulls!

Thought we was the law.

How about that?

Ten-twenty.

Get your hands up
or I'll blow your head off!

Get them up.
Keep your hands up.

We're stopping this train
at the two-mile crossing.

Mister, don't make me blow your guts out
because I will. Now flash it.

- Get your mitts on that throttle.
- Do what he says, Steve.

What's wrong with you?
You been kicked in the head by a mule?

Hold on.

It's going too far.

Damn.

God damn it.
Now look at where we are.

Back it up to where I said
in the first place. Now!

- Sir, it's gonna take a minute.
- It better take a quick minute.

Ain't this a hell of a way
to make a living?

Everybody in there,
come on out.

What in the hell is going on?

Keep them hands up.
We're robbing this train.

I was wondering
if we'd hit something.

- Anybody in there?
- No, just me.

All them postal turkeys is up front.

I'm gonna go see
what the hell's going on up there.

Get down off of there.
We're going up to the crossing.

- Where is everybody?
- I don't know.

Something ain't right.

That big son of a bitch
must have run off.

What the hell's going on
with this train?

Hey.

Hey, drop that goddamn gun!

At the crossing.

You probably parked on it,
you stupid rat bastard.

Coming down with two!

Coming up with one.
Slowly.

- Remember, they got guns in there.
- Yeah, so do we.

- I got him. I got him, Joe.
- Got him?

Mail car 2105.

All right, everybody outside now.
Let's go!

Watch the window.

Damn, don't shoot.
We're out here too.

Jackson, get that poison gas.

All right, you silly bastards.

You're about to wish to god
you had come out.

Mister, don't let
him kill them in there.

Oh, it's all right.
Nobody ever died from a stink bomb.

Drop them guns, now!

Come on.

- Get over there.
- Hurry up. Let's go. Let's go!

- You, drop it.
- Who's the head honcho here?

All right, move it, y'all. In here.
Come on, now.

I'm only after the registered mail
and I want every sack of it.

- You understand me?
- Yes, sir.

Good. Let's go.

Talk to me.

Milwaukee registers are all up here,

St. Paul goes back this way,

and this section's
going to Minneapolis.

There it is.

All right.

Start helping me toss these out
and get Milwaukee first.

- Every single bit of it, honcho.
- Yes, sir.

Coming down.
Where the hell have you been?

Jesus! Some hoosier
was trying to sneak off the other side.

Had a shotgun. God damn it.
I had to shoot the son of a bitch.

Y'all got anybody over there
on the other side?

You've got us all here, mister.

- Joe, you got all of them.
- All right.

I got him.
Hell, I shot him five times, Jess.

No, no, no.
He's further down the line.

Every one of you will pick up a bag
and lug it over to them two cars.

- Get going.
- Let's go.

- Grab two.
- Throw it down here.

Put them in the backseat of that car.

Some of you come here and start
loading in the back of this car.

Oh, my god.

You idiot!

You shot dock!

No, no, I didn't.
That's a hoosier, Jess.

Oh, Jesus.

You shot my brother.

God damn it, Willis! Willis!

Get over here. It's dock!

- Jackson?
- Yeah. Go.

I think we can take this guy.

Yeah, you might all could take me,

but two or three of you
are gonna die doing it.

Now, get back to work.

Easy, dock.
Dock, come on. Oh, shit.

No, no. Shit.

- God damn it.
- He's bleeding to death.

Oh, shit.
We got to get him to a doctor.

You hold it.

We're gonna get you
out of here, hoss.

Damn it.
You just hang in there.

You hold on, hoss.

Come on, dock.
Come on, now.

Come on.

Did you get it?

Come on.

Easy. Come on, come on.
Get that on there.

Get the hell out of here.

Now!

Jesus, Willis,
i don't think he's gonna make it.

Yes, he is and you're gonna
get us a doctor, Murray.

Out here? Forget it.
Chicago maybe.

Then we'll bring him to Chicago.

They'll tear the town apart
in a couple of hours.

A doctor sees him,
he'll call the cops.

Let's keep our heads about this, Willis.
This could blow the whole damn deal.

We'll split the money
and cut our losses.

This job ain't finished till dock's
taken care of, you son of a bitch.

- Bad idea, bad idea.
- Take it easy, fellas.

Goddamn you, Murray, you know people.
That's why you're in this deal.

I don't give a goddamn how,
but find someplace

and you dig somebody up
and if you don't,

I swear,
you're not gonna make it.

Calm down, Willis. Calm down.
I know a guy.

Let's go, then, god damn it.

Joe, take dock with Murray and slim.
We'll stash the money.

- Eight shares, eight different places.
- All right!

We're gonna trust you
with our shares?

We're trusting you
with our brother.

Damn!

Jesus, Murray, I don't like this.

Somebody had to see us
drag this bloody son of a bitch up here.

How is it he's not dead yet, doc?

I don't know. Chest wound
alone should have killed him.

Went in between his heart
and his lungs.

I'll be back tomorrow
to work on the fractures in his arms.

Keep your mouth shut
and don't get seen.

He wants to win a fiddling contest,
that's his problem.

It'd be a good idea
if we got the hell out of here, too.

Joe? Get.

Hey.

We ain't leaving you, dock.

When you wake up,
I'll be sitting right here.

Don't pass nothing
till you get to Texas.

Remember, no contact for a year.

He didn't have a hat on, Willis.

God almighty.

Joe.

Visiting hours is over, pal.

Fan him.

Just like the kid.

- He's got an anchor on it.
- What the hell is this about, fellas?

- What are you doing up here?
- They told me I could buy beer up here.

Come a long way for a drink, Tex.

- You got a name, candy boy?
- Yeah, I got a name. Name's will Reed.

I'm an oilman, god damn it.
I'm throwing a party. I came here--

party's all over, pal.

We got your buddies
two hours ago.

That was an awful big score
you guys made last night.

It's too bad half the world saw
you guys coming up here.

I'm just a messenger boy
in this scheme, all right?

You two seem like good old boys.

We can work something
out here, can't we?

Is that so?

I ain't got none of that money,

but I can get my hands
on a nice chunk of it

if you're interested.

They say the value of money
is all relative.

This, for instance,
is only 10 smackers.

It's nothing compared
to the millions you crooks pinched.

But...

It can pack a pretty hefty wallop.

Time's relative.

You're what, 22, 23?

You'll be 50 years old
before you get out of prison

if I don't get some answers.

We got plenty of time.

Because.

I need you, Lou.

Come on.

You can tell me, can't you?

I know this hurts.

I hope I die first.

Chief schoemaker?
There's a message for you.

- They say it's urgent.
- Thanks. We'll talk later.

Time is running out, pal.
Looks like you've been jobbed.

- She'll be here.
- She?

Yup. She's a business associate.

She doesn't know what this is about.
She's just bringing the money.

Ain't a skirt in the world
I'd trust with 20 gs.

I'd be worrying
about every time I let her down.

Every time she caught me
hanging a story on her.

Women never really forgive you
for that stuff.

We've waited a half hour.
She ain't gonna show.

There she is.

I've got the money.

- Yeah. You saw the papers?
- Yeah.

We're just business associates, Lou.
You don't know nothing.

- Okay.
- I'm getting out of this, Lou.

When the time's right,
we're busting Joe and dock out.

All right?

Hey, Lou.

This one's pretty.

You say you two
are just business associates?

Back off, flatfoot.

- It's all here. Let him go.
- Yeah. Get lost.

Nice doing business with you,
candy boy.

Let's have it.

You're in a lot of trouble.
You're coming with me.

- Take her down to the precinct house.
- Yes, sir.

God damn it.
Backstabbing yankee bastards!

Couldn't you have counted it
a little faster?

So you're the smart one, right?

I take a bird like you downtown,
you get a lawyer, you post bail.

I never see you again.

No, my friend.
I'm taking you to rockford...

Where my cousin's the sheriff.

He's got a nice little solitary box
up on the third floor.

I think you'll like it.

Unless, of course,
you want to tell me

where that post office loot
is hidden.

So you can go tell the feds about it?

Most of it.

I'm real sorry
to disappoint you, chief,

but I ain't talking,
unless it's to the man in charge

and you ain't him.

Yup, biggest one ever.

Makes quite a splash,
this kind of thing.

Well, nobody got hurt
but one of their own.

But all them zeroes...

Yeah.

The public's gonna want
to see blood on this one.

What we got to do here

is put our heads together
and try to figure out

who the inside man was.

I'm sorry. Inside?

They knew every consignment
on that train.

Somebody pretty high up
on the inside must have tipped them.

And I'll bet you my paycheck

it was someone
right in your department.

Huh.

Okay.

Thanks for coming, Lou.

I would've come sooner,
but they wouldn't let me.

I know.

Schoemaker give you the list
of bad things that'll happen to me

if I don't tell him what he wants?

He said you could go in for life,
Willis.

Could. I mean,
if I don't play my cards right.

They said you were in solitary.

Yeah.

How can you bear it?

I just sit there thinking.

About you, mostly.

I swear, it's like
you're there with me, Lou.

I can look into your eyes.

I hear your voice.

I even smell your hair.

I just think about being
in the same room with you, Lou.

Not talking or nothing.

Just knowing you're there.

You have got quite a line,
Mr. Newton.

I suppose I do.

Lou.

You know all them things
i used to tell you I wanted?

All I want now is to be with you.

Mr. aldrich,
i hope this doesn't take too long.

I told my wife that I would try
to make it home for dinner.

No, no, it won't take but a minute.
In fact, it's right in here.

Go ahead. Take a peek.

Son of a gun.

That's strange, isn't it?

A peephole
looking into the sorting room.

Son of a gun.

Anybody could have made this.

Anybody exactly...

Your height.

Yeah! Come on, now.

What did I tell you?
I ain't never been throwed.

Perfect record.
You owe me 50 yankee dollars.

Hell of a ride, son. You win.

Well, that horse wasn't near
as mean as you said.

I come all the way
from Mexico for that?

Not just that, Jess.

I'm frank hamer, Texas rangers.

Folks up in Chicago would like
to have a little word with you.

Hell.

Frank hamer.

Well, frank,
how about you let me go,

I'll let you keep that 50?

I guess not.

You guess not.

Howdy.

Take a good look.

- That light's bugging me.
- Look familiar?

- Yeah, I know them.
- Identify them.

Well, let's see.

This is rube waddell.

That's 'his speaker,
Rogers homsby.

- Isn't that Ty Cobb?
- Yeah, that's Ty Cobb.

You know this bird?

Well, looks like he was weaned
on a pickle, don't it?

Shut up.

Do you know him?

No, I don't,
and I wouldn't care to, neither.

You know, Jess, your brothers
have spilled the whole deal.

Well, great.
Then you don't need me, do you?

Sit down.

Look, chief, you are doing
a hell of a job on this case.

I want to congratulate you
on pulling us all in,

but you could squeeze me
and my brothers

from now until judgment day

and you ain't gonna get
word number one out of us.

Get out of here.

We got you,
we got your brothers,

we got Murray,
we got slim.

We even tracked down
your old pal glasscock

at a health spa in battle creek.

Still can't help you, sir.

I'm getting sick and tired

of you stupid,
closed-mouthed country--

go easy on that stuff, chief.

You're either the smartest or dumbest
son of a bitch I ever dealt with.

We've tried it your way for three months
and haven't found a nickel.

Let's try it mine.

- Hey, Willis. K.P. Aldrich.
- Howdy.

Feel like I know you already.

You met chief schoemaker.

- Oh, yeah.
- Well, sit, sit.

So you from
the federal government?

That's right.

It's about time.

- Uvalde, right?
- Yep.

- I'm from Austin myself.
- That's pretty country.

That it is.

Look, Willis,
I'm gonna put it to you square.

We got to figure
some way out of this.

Yeah.

I figure since
it's Joe's first offense--

Willis, I got a file
as thick as your arm there

on jobs you fellas pulled
all across the country.

I've been following you boys
for a while now.

And I got to hand it to you, Willis.

You sure as hell had yourself
one hell of a gang.

But I'm sure some people
in the justice department

might be interested
in digging up some old business.

If I deal, do we walk?

No, not right away.

Not on this one.

But I could be very,
very influential

with the judge
who is going to do the sentencing.

Give me details.

You and dock won't get more than 12.
Should be out in four.

Murray and slim,
they'll probably--

no, them bastards
got their own money.

They can make their own damn deal.

What about Joe?

If Joe and Jess
make a good impression in court--

no, no. See, now, Jess didn't
have nothing to do with this.

Hell, he was off running horses--

Willis, we got Jess
when he came across the border

to ride a pony on a bet.

So don't bullshit me, son.
I'm being straight with you here.

All right.

How much?

They could get off
with a year or so,

but for that,

I need all the money back

and I need you to hand me

that little weasel bill fahy.

You know us Newtons
do a lot of things, Mr. aldrich,

but there are a few things
we don't do.

We don't kill nobody,

we don't steal from women
and children,

and we don't rat.

Somebody's got to, Willis,

or we don't have a deal.

May I approach the witness,
your honor?

You may.

Could you identify
for the jurors

the person in this courtroom

who actually

masterminded the robbery?

It's the gentleman sitting there
in the brown suit,

William fahy.

He's a liar.
I've never seen this guy in my life!

I'm being railroaded.

It's not me.

It's them.
It's Willis Newton.

He planned the whole thing
with his brothers. It's him!

Order in the court.

Sit down, Mr. fahy,

or I'll have you removed
from this courtroom.

The Newtons will
be dealt with soon enough,

but since this is your trial,

I suggest you concern yourself
with the business at hand.

Willis.

I think this is gonna work.

Well, when it does, you're gonna be
talking to an ex-millionaire.

Do you understand the meaning
of a guilty plea, Mr. Newton?

Yes, sir, your honor.

It means we're guilty.

You caught us with the wet finger
in the sugar sack, sir.

We're guilty, guilty, guilty,

and we're awful sorry
we put everybody through this trouble.

See, we're simple cowboys

and we don't know much about guns

and, you know, train robbing.

It just sort of come along on a lark,

if you know what I mean.

Is it true you turned
to the fireman and said:

"Ain't this a hell of a way
to make a living?"

I guess, I guess.

But a fella has to ask himself

what's right and what's wrong.

And what we did was wrong.

I suppose we messed up
that train robbery

about as much as any outfit could.

Even managed to shoot
our own brother.

No...

Your honor,
i figure that the Newton boys

was never cut out
for the wrong side of the law.

- You may sit down, Mr. Newton.
- Thank you very much, your honor.

Counselor,
approach the bench.

- Hell of a performance, Jess.
- Folks seemed to appreciate it.

Yeah, damn right.

Tell you what, it's a good thing
we still got that 35,000.

Actually, we don't have that 35,000.

- Did you spend it?
- No, I didn't spend it. I buried it.

I went out one night
with this cabdriver.

He was a great guy.

We found a perfect spot,
we covered it up

and I come back
a couple of days later.

It's daylight,
and the whole damn place

looks exactly the same.

I can't tell one rock from another.

What you're saying

is you got drunk
and you lost that money.

I probably had a couple,
but that wasn't the thing.

The trouble was, this cabdriver
was on a serious drunk.

This son of a bitch-- he didn't even
know what road we was on.

He was no help at all.

God damn it, Willis,

I'd been looking
for that money every day

until they come
and drag my ass up here.

Would the defendants please rise?

I guess you're right,
brother Jess.

Us Newtons ain't cut out
for the wrong side of the law.

Here they come, here they come!

Back up.

My first guest

is a gentleman who was
one of the Newton brothers.

Would you welcome
Joe Newton. Joe?

- How are you, sir?
- Fine, fine.

- It's nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

I think people thought
i was really joking

and this was kind of a put-on.

- That we were gonna have--
- nothing put-on about this.

- This was in 1924?
- 1924.

That you robbed a train.

What train was that, now?
Now, I wasn't around in 1924.

It's rondout of Chicago,
right out of rondout, Illinois.

- About 30 miles out of Chicago.
- Right.

It was a little station
called rondout.

That's where they got the name,

and it was a mail train,
going west.

Right. Now, it says you--
in four years, you robbed 80 banks.

Well, we robbed a lot of them.

No, we didn't rob
all the banks in Texas.

We robbed 30, 40,

but we robbed plenty
of them in other states

like Illinois,
Arkansas, Missouri,

Kansas, Wisconsin,
north and south Dakota,

and several other states.

We were just like doctors,
lawyers, and everybody else.

It was our business to do that.

We never killed anybody
and we never wanted to.

All we wanted was the money,
to make money.

You lived pretty well, I suppose,
when you were...

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, we stayed at the best hotels,

ate at the best cafes, drove the best
cars there was in them days.

- Yeah. A lot of women?
- Well, there's always--

if you got a good car
and a pocketful of money

and you're a young man...

That'll help you quick with that.

Nobody never give me anything
but hell in my life

and I never done anything
i been ashamed of doing, either.

I've done some things
i was sorry of.

One thing I was sorry of,
we robbed a bank up in Kansas

and ole boy inside got scared and
ran off and left $200,000 laying there.

All he had to do
was put it in the handbag.

When I bawled him out,
we said, "we got enough."

I said, "we never get enough."

I said, "when I go in to get anything,
i want to get it all."

From then on, I went inside.

They was cleaned out
when I come out.

When did they catch you?
Right after the 1924--

right after that-- one of our men--
it wasn't one of us--

but it was one of the men
that was working with us.

He got excited, and he--

it had to be excitement.

He went up and across on the other side
where he wasn't supposed to be

and shot my brother,
one of my brothers.

- Killed him?
- No, no.

He shot him
five or six times with a .45.

It should have killed him.

- A .45 is a big-bore weapon.
- Yeah.

That should have pretty well--
your brother recovered from that?

Yeah, recovered
and lived to be 83 years old.

Yeah?

My mother was over
in cottonwood one day,

and she met my schoolteacher.

I had quit,
and she asked her why.

My mother said, "his clothes
got so bad, he was ashamed to go."

She said,
"he's the smartest pupil I ever had.

If you send him for an education,

there's no telling
what he'll make out of himself.

If he don't get his education,

there's no telling what he'll do."

How old were you
when you started this?

Nineteen years old.

Nineteen years old.

When was the first time
you went to jail?

That rondout train robbery.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I thought you were gonna
put that on and stick me up.

You thought I was gonna--
you thought i--

I thought you were.

I thought you were
putting your mask on

and were gonna sort of--

old habits die hard,
don't they, Joe?

Let me ask you something now.
Looking back on this,

if you had to do it over,
you wouldn't recommend--

no! We was crazy for doing it.

I look back and see then,
but you're young then.

Then somebody said,

"why didn't you invest
that money into something?"

I said, "who wants a better job
than what we already got?"

That's what we thought then.
Need money, go rob another bank.

- But you wouldn't recommend that--
- no, I wouldn't. That'd be crazy. Yeah.

When I first begin to think
of robbing banks,

I never thought of hurting anybody.

I knew
all of them bankers was rich,

and they didn't
care about hurting--

they didn't care
about hurting us poor farmers.

So why should I care
about hurting them?

Why shouldn't I steal
from them?

It's just one thief
stealing from another.
