♪

We can leave our luggage
here, can't we? Yes, sir.

Fine. I guess you know, Major,

my father will certainly be pleased
you're taking this trip with us.

Here's the receipt for your passage,
Major. Thank you very much.

Come on, Major, we can still
cover a lot of San Francisco

before eight o'clock
tomorrow morning.

Charlie, the less we cover
of San Francisco tonight,

the better we'll feel
tomorrow morning.

I don't suppose by any chance you've
talked that pal of yours McCullough

into taking this trip with us,
have you?

No, sir. Flint's got some
big plans of his own.

We'll see you in
the morning. Yes, sir.

Thank you. Bye. See ya, Jamison.

I sent my things to the boat
this afternoon.

So did I.

Here's to a nice,
long sea voyage.

Here's to us. To us.

Senor, she is at table 14
with the scout McCullough.

Tell her the plans
have been changed.

I've had the lovers
taken off the boat.

She is to leave at eight in the
morning on the Jamison coach.

Si, senor.

♪

My partner and I
want to thank you.

Now I know why we are
told so often that

once you have been
to San Francisco,

part of your heart will always
remain behind the Golden Gate.

I hope that we will
meet again. Thank you.

If I had company like that
on a boat to New Orleans,

you wouldn't be able
to get me on a coach, either.

Listen, Flint,
with this keen appreciation

you've always shown
for the opportunity sex,

how have you been able to
escape marriage all this time?

I haven't always
wanted to escape it.

I guess I just never stay
in the same place long enough.

Why don't you just
give up the trail?

No... no, I'm a restless man.

You wouldn't like to have your
old job back, by any chance?

I mean, Dad sure would like to
have you drive for us again.

Nope. I'm had my fill
of coaching.

Yeah, I know.

Major Adams should have
seen you in your coaching days.

You remember that?
Your high-polish black boots,

your black trousers,
your black shirt,

your handkerchief
knotted just so...

Even among the drivers,
you cut quite a figure.

Oh, I enjoyed coaching.
I guess I just outgrew it.

Yeah.

You really intend to drive
this whole route by yourself?

Oh, yeah, yeah. We're
carrying our first load of mail.

You see, if we can make this
run in anything less than 24 days,

we've been promised
a government contract.

And boy, if we land that, we're
in business... I mean business.

Of course, if we don't, well, that's the
end of the Jamison Stagecoach Lines.

I didn't realize
you were in that deep.

Yeah, we had to mortgage
everything we had.

I had to buy some of
these special coaches,

and then I had to set up way
stations for meals and fresh teams,

and then I had to buy several
hundred head of horses and mules.

Then I had to hire a lot of men to
man these stations and be relief drivers,

and you know something, Flint?

You just can't carry
enough passengers

to make back that kind of money,

you just can't do it.

But you know the old man.

I guess he's had his heart set on
this ever since he bought his first coach.

Caleb, I wish you
the best of luck.

Come here, honey. Por favor, no!

I just want to kiss you goodbye!

Give him a little kiss!

Just a little kiss. Go on.

Why, you...

Oh, it's my arm!

We gotta get you to a doctor.

Don Felipe Alvarado? Si, senor.

You may choose any seat,
Don Alvarado. Gracias.

Good morning, Father
Giuseppo. Good morning, my son.

God has given us a beautiful
day to begin our journey.

Buenos dias, Senorita De Varga.

Buenos dias.

Uh, just put the trunk on top.

Morning, Major.

You don't have to yell.

Yes, sir.

Well, she's all loaded.

Let her roll, and
good luck. Thanks.

Let's roll.

Heeyah, ho!

What...?!

Hey! Slow down up there!

What are you trying to do?!

Give me that. Con permisso, sir.

Hey!

Slow down up there! Hey! Hey!!!

Hey!

Ohh! Where's my gun?
Topside, packed in your bag.

Heeyah, team!

It's a runaway!
I want to get out of here!

Go ahead. I'll open
the door. No, no!

SETH: Hey, you fool!

Whoa. Ho.

Ho. SETH: I want to talk to
that chowder-headed driver!

You blithering nincompoop!
What are you trying to do...

- You have 20 minutes, folks.
- Dinner served inside.

Hello, Major Adams.
You were driving?!

You got 20 minutes to get
your dinner. He was driving?!

Do you realize what could happen
traveling at that rate of speed

on such a trail?! I think so.

I was in the driver's seat. But you
have no right in the driver's seat...

Major Adams, this
is not the wagon train.

This is a stagecoach, and you know
as well as I do, the driver's in charge.

McCullough, I... Major Adams,

I hope it won't be necessary
for me to put you off the coach.

How dare you put that fella
in the driver's box!

Sorry you were
uncomfortable, Major,

but we did pick up two hours
in time. Two hours my foot!

We're lucky we aren't all
in kingdom come!

An inexperienced
driver like McCullough...

Wait a minute. Flint's
far from inexperienced.

He and I drove stage together
right after the war.

McCullough drove
stage? That's right,

and he was a great driver.
I was lucky to get him.

As you can see,
I'm in no condition to drive.

McCullough drove sta...
Well, I'll be.

What did we do last night, Bill?

Charles, my boy,
we did San Fran-cisco.

Did I have a good time?

Well, you cried a lot. I did?

Oh!

Oh, Major Adams,
would you care to join me?

No, thank you. I'm a
passenger this trip, remember?

No, it couldn't be. Nah.

Angela!

No siento, senor.
No hablo ingles.

But Angela...

May I be of
some assistance, senor?

The senorita De Varga
does not speak English.

Evidently, you have
mistaken her for someone else.

Yes, evidently I have.

What's the matter,
you got the brush-off?

When did you take Senorita
De Vargas's reservations?

Jim took 'em
late last night. Why?

Why? Have you taken
a good look at her?

No, can't say I
have. Well, look.

She remind you of somebody?

Yeah. She looks
a little like, uh...

That doesn't make sense.

Whether that makes sense or not,
that's Angela.

You told her
you were driving today.

No, I didn't have a chance.

After I left you
at the doctor's,

I want back to tell her,
she'd already left.

Well, maybe it isn't
Angela. You made a mistake.

I haven't made a mistake.
That's Angela.

Ten minutes.

Ten minutes, folks.

Come on, eat up. Let's go.

Whew.

No good either.

You know I'll never get used to
riding inside one of these things.

It's like riding in
a dusty old coffin.

Don't be so cheerful, Charlie.

Well, we have over 180 miles
now straight out in the desert.

How far is the next way station?

It's about 53 miles.

That's a long way. We'll have
to go easy on these horses.

Ho, Topper! Ho, Topper, ho!

We had more trouble
setting up this next station

than any stop on the route.

This is lonely country, boy.

Yeah, it belongs
to coyotes and tumbleweeds.

That's right. Won't see a
living soul now for miles.

Well, we have about 15 miles
to the next way station.

You see right there? So we
can rest there a few hours.

Sounds good.

You've been doing yourself
pretty good, son.

I'm sorry I blew up
at you the other day.

Forget it. How come you never
told me you used to drive stagecoach?

I don't know. I guess
I just thought it had

nothing to do with
my qualifications as a scout.

I suppose not.

I figured you had your mind
set on going back by boat.

I did.

But then Caleb broke his arm,

and it was too late for him
to get another driver.

Bit yourself off
quite a chunk, didn't you?

I must say you're
chewing it pretty good.

Thanks. Coming from you,
that means a whole lot.

You know, you're looking
kind of tired.

Why don't you let Bill and me
take over for a while?

No, thanks.
It's my responsibility.

Don't be so goldarn
stubborn, will ya?

You got a long ways to go.

Why don't you accept help
where you can get it?

I can drive, Bill rides
shotgun. How about it?

Well, it's 15 miles
to the next way station.

If you'll take it that far,
I'll be mighty grateful.

All right. I'll go tell Bill.

Angela, I went back to the
cafe to explain all this to you,

but you'd already left.

Now, if you're angry, let's talk
about it. Don't play games with me.

No entiendo, senor.

You know who I am
and I know who you are.

Now, what's the good of this?

The senorita says
you are making a mistake.

Tell the senorita I won't
make the mistake again.

Pete! Jackie! Git on there, boy!

Major, there's a little curve up
ahead there. I can see, Charlie.

Why don't you slow down, then?
Charlie, I'm doing the driving.

I know that.
That's why I'm so nervous.

Well, you're gonna
make me nervous.

Why don't you relax,
like Bill here?

Relax? He ain't
relaxed. He's petrified.

Come on, Petey,
get over there, boy!

Man, it sure is
a beautiful night.

I don't like it. It's too big and
empty. I know what you mean.

It's just like we were
the last ones left on earth.

That's it. Lonesome.

We'll be at our way station
by daybreak, boys.

Good. I'll be glad
to see some people.

Good cup of coffee
and a fresh team

and a few friendly faces
will do us all good.

Come on, Jackie! Heeyah, boy!

Come on, Jackie boy.

Pete, come on, you can make it.

Flint, you better get up.

We're just about there.

Major, over that hill.
Must be the way station.

Look at the smoke.

Nothing like a good cup of
coffee made over a wood fire.

Heeyah. Come on, boy.

Come on!

Heeyah!

Heeyah! Heeyah!

Get on the floor!
You too, padre!

Charlie!

Bill! Get on that team!

Keep 'em straightened
out! I got 'em.

Aaah!

You're a lady of many talents.

Whoa...

Padre, what is she saying?

In ingles.

Is he able to travel?

Yes, senor. Lady remove
the bullet. Only a flesh wound.

- Gracias, senorita.
- De nada.

How do you feel? I'm all
right. Let's get out of here.

No, we're gonna stop here
for a couple of hours.

No need to hold up
on account of me.

I can rest just as well
with the coach moving.

I know you can, but we can't.

We must not delay the journey.

Father, we try to continue now,

the horses will die
in the harness.

Well...

we are in your hands, my son.

We're gonna stop here until
the heat of the day passes.

You say your destination is
Fort Filmore? Yes, my son.

We'll try to get you
there on time. Gracias.

No, I don't need anything.

How we doin'?

We're almost there.

Still five hours
ahead of schedule.

See how important it is
to pick up time?

You never know what's gonna
happen from one mile to the next.

We'll get a fresh team at
Filmore. We're gonna need 'em.

Are you thinking
about Angela again?

Ah... I just can't
figure her out.

You still think Senorita De
Varga is your Spanish dancer?

Well, you've had a good
look at her, haven't you?

I was never fortunate enough
to know her as well as you.

What I can't figure
out is why. Huh?

Why.

Keep going straight ahead.

Don't move, Major
Adams, or you will die.

What is this?
Where's the priest?

What happened to the old lady?

I assure you, Major Adams,

if you move,
I will shoot if necessary.

We're turning.

We must beg your
indulgence, gentlemen.

Beg? Huh!

Demand, if you prefer.

Our direction lies southbound.

South? What is this?

We are on our way to Mexico.

Heeyah!

You're gonna get yourself
in some serious trouble.

You're interfering with the
United States mail, you know.

Senorita...

Heeyah!

Whoa! Whoa.

Gentlemen, some food.

I wonder how long it'll be before
anyone finds out we're missing.

You know, Major, we're ruined,

and my father isn't even
aware of it yet.

We still got 19 days to go
before you're ruined.

I wouldn't give up yet
if I was you.

Where are you taking us?

Why are you doing this?

You will be told
at the proper time.

Listen, if it's money you want...

Oh, no, senor. We have money.

We want what money cannot buy.

SETH: What's that
supposed to mean?

MAN: You will be told.

Flint.

Oh, we're back
to first names, are we?

Flint, may I try to explain?

With a gun in your hand?

I don't blame you for hating me.

That's very broad-minded of you.

Flint, before you judge me,

at least hear
what I have to say.

You got something to say,
you can say it to everybody.

What I have to say right now
concerns only you and me.

Nothing concerns
only you and me anymore.

Flint, please.

You said you didn't
speak my language, remember?

You were right.

They must not see your tears.

There is always a price.

Why did he have to be
the one driving the stage?

I assure you, if I had known,

we would not have been on it.

I thought I was so strong.

I thought I could face anything.

You can...

and you will.

I'll try, Father.

No man could wish
for a braver daughter.

Senor, I must trouble you for
the keys to the mail compartment.

You better
leave that mail alone!

Your mail will not
be disturbed, senor.

Senores,

you and your coach
have been temporarily enlisted

in the cause of
Mexican independence.

Mexican independence?

Then you're all
revolutionists, huh?

Si. We follow Porfirio Diaz,
the hope of Mexico.

That coach is carrying
United States mail.

I don't think you want our
government mixed up in your revolution.

We ask only a few hours of your
time and the use of this coach.

You haven't asked for anything.

It was the only way.

Please believe that
it was the only way.

The only way to
what? To get your help.

You don't really
expect us to help you?

We have not harmed you.
We don't intend to.

But these next few hours may
mean the lives of many men,

including my brother
and my father.

Please help us.

FLINT: If you'd asked
for my help in San Francisco,

just asked for it...
No tricks, no lies...

I'd have done anything for you.

The decision to ask or tell you
was not mine to make.

You got any idea what you've
done to the Jamisons here?

If this coach doesn't get
to St. Louis on time,

they lose everything
they've got.

If this coach does not
cross the border on time,

we will lose everything.

But you are speaking of money,
senor. I am speaking of lives.

You know this coach is carrying
United States mail?

This coach is also carrying
guns and ammunition.

And you expect to get it across the
border? You haven't got a chance.

That's exactly what we do have,
and all we have, a chance.

Our government is trying
to keep peace with your country.

The soldiers have been ordered
to avoid all border incidents.

We are gambling that they will
not search an American mail coach

that has lost its way.

That's what
you're gonna tell 'em?

No, senor. That is what
you are going to tell them.

Is that what you think?

That'll be the day.

You said it was late for us,
and I accept that.

But it is not too late
for bargaining.

If you help us at the border,

you will save the coach
and the mail.

You will be free of us and back on
your way again by midnight tomorrow.

And if we don't?

Then there will be
a fight at the border.

We will have to
shoot our way through,

and you may lose the coach.

You've thought of
everything, haven't you?

It seems inconceivable to me
that we should be so far apart,

so completely unable
to even communicate.

Our language is different,

but I have learned yours;
you can learn mine.

Our customs, our daily lives,
are different,

but surely these are
inconsequential.

We are warmed by the same sun.

We look up at the same stars.

And no one, neither you nor I,

can tell by the soil where
America ends or Mexico begins.

Are we, then, so far apart?

We laugh when we are happy...

we have the same longings,

the same hopes and heartbreaks.

We are born...

we grow old, and we die.

Surely you must realize none of
us are wholly free of one another.

The freedom which was
purchased in blood by your father,

it was given you
as a birthright.

We must fight and die for ours.

But even yours
is not completely secure

as long as we or any other
people live in bondage.

When tyranny threatens
or triumphs anywhere,

then freedom is threatened
everywhere.

There is only a line
between our countries,

but human dignity and freedom
meet oppression and bondage

at that line head-on.

Think of that.

Think of that and...

clear your conscience of it
if you can.

It's your coach, Caleb.
What do you want to do?

You're the driver, Flint.

I'll go by your judgment.

Major, what would you do?

It's like he says...
you're the driver.

How ironical and sad

that I should be
the messenger of my people,

and that a decision
which means life or death to us

must come from you...

who hate me so bitterly.

We are coming to the town.

Bill, if we get out of this
alive, I'm swearin' off.

Riding in coaches, that is.

Charlie, you've
already sworn off boats.

How you gonna get back
East next time? I'll walk.

Buenos noches, senor.

I'm afraid
I've lost my bearings.

This is a United States mail
coach bound for New Orleans.

You have cross the border
into Mexico, senor. Mexico?!

I told you you took the
wrong turn back at Filmore!

But no, you always know
better than anybody else.

Well, if you aren't
the cutest thing, honey!

I've heard about you Latin men,

but you're the first one
I've seen runnin' around loose.

Magnolia blossom,

I'm not gonna warn you again
about that flirtin'.

I can't can't have
no fun at all!

Much obliged for
straightening me out.

Is there a place we might get a
bite to eat before we head back?

Si, senor. There is an inn at
the end of the street, to the right.

You cannot miss it. You
don't know this driver!

Gracias, mi amor.

Come on, let's get outta here!

Get up there, will ya? Go on.

Major.

Yeah, sure.

Adios.

Adios.

Heeyah! Heeyah!

I'll tell ya one thing...

I'm really glad to
be back on American soil.

If we were at Fort Filmore right now,
we'd still be 36 hours behind schedule.

We just can't do it.

We're sure gonna give it a try.

Bill or Charlie can spell you
if you get tired. So could I.

Now what? Are
those De Varga's men?

I'm getting to the point where I'm
not gonna guess who anybody is.

Whoa. Whoa there.

Gentlemen, may I present
my son, Benito De Varga.

Major Adams,
Mr. Jamison. Mucho gusto.

My daughter, I think
you have already met.

Mr. McCullough,
my son, Benito De Varga.

Senor, we are forever
in your debt. Forget it.

We can never forget
what you have done for us.

Seems to me if you owe
anybody a debt, it's Jamison here.

They stand to lose
their stagecoach line.

ANGELA: We are
going to help you. How?

We know a shortcut to St. Louis.

Is it through pretty rough
country, part of it Apache country.

There are four of us here who have driven
it often, and we are at your service.

We have brought
extra horses, as you can see.

We will have to
rotate the teams.

My son feels
by driving night and day

he can make up
the time you have lost

and put you back on schedule.

Please, senor... let us try.

Flint, what do you
say? Let's hook 'em up.

Wooster, Hawks, give me
a hand with these horses.

Vaya con Dios, mija.

Adios. Adios.

The team, Senor McCullough...

Or we'll be late for St. Louis.

Relax. We're almost through
the Indian country.

We are not through it until
we are through Apache Pass.

I've heard about that pass.

I've ridden through it twice.
It's terrifying.

There are cliffs on both sides.

Give me some more line
on the leaders.

I'll shorten the tugs
on the swing.

All right, Charlie, hook it up.

What a fine time
to change teams.

We could be ambushed
here, you know.

Not here... the pass
is the danger spot.

Turn the horses loose!

Heeyah!

Heeyah, heeyah!

Major! Los Indios!

I wonder why they don't come
on? Well, they got a reason.

Major, there it is!

Stay down behind us! We're
gonna have to break through!

Heeyah!

Heeyah! Heeyah!

Heeyah! Heeyah! Heeyah!

Heeyah! Heeyah!

In the morning, St. Louis?

Yep, in the morning.

And this time
we shall not meet again.

If my life were
my own to give...

I would come to you
and I would say...

"Let me be all things to you.

"Let me honor and respect you

and follow you
all the days of my life."

Angela, I'd give anything
to hear you say that now.

If I did not have a
mission to fulfill, if I...

"If"... is that
the only word between us?

Yes, it is. It is the only word.

It is the preface for so much
that has happened between us

and the reason for so much
that has not happened.

Did you really intend to be
on the boat to New Orleans?

Yes!

Yes, we planned to
take the guns by sea,

but then someone found out.

We have to quickly change our...

And you just didn't
trust me enough to tell me.

Oh, no, no!

Flint, I would
trust you with my life...

but I did not have the right to put
the lives of others in your hands.

Angela, can't I
persuade you to stay?

No.

If I stayed,
I would despise myself,

and that would be as
bad for you as for me.

Are you sure?

Mexico means more to me than
any man will ever mean...

and no man will ever
mean as much as you.

You said the border between us
was only a line

that anybody could cross
with a single step.

It seems impassable enough now.

If it was a man,
I'd know what to do,

but how do you fight
a whole country?

We knew each other
such a few short days.

Too short.

I read somewhere
that parting is...

all we know of heaven
and all we need to know of hell.

In my language we say...

That means that...

That means...

That means to part
is to die a little.

You speak my language?

I realize now I always have.

Adios. Adios.

Adios.

I know how you feel, boy,

but it's not the end of
the world, you know.

No... just the end of a dream.

22 days, 12 hours,
and 17 minutes.

Well, we made it.
Yeah, we made it all right.

St. Louis, Missouri, via Tucson,
Arizona, Mexico, and Apache Pass.

There's a space here for
"Unusual events occurring in transit."

What shall I put there?

Well, what's your problem?

I think you're right.

"Trip... routine."

Ha ha! Couldn't have
put it better myself, son,

"trip routine." Caleb,
we'll be seein' ya.

Caleb.

SETH: As we stepped out
into the streets of St. Louis,

the wagons passing by
looked mighty good to us,

and I found myself looking forward
to getting a train on the trail again

and calling out
those old familiar words...

"Wagons, ho!"
