GOODNIGHT, THAT YOU?
SHERIFF.
WELL, SORRY, JUDGE.
I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU.
[CHUCKLING]
I GOT A NEW HAT.
WHAT DO YOU GOT FOR ME?
I CAN SEE YOU'VE BEEN BUSY.
WE CAN START ANYTIME YOU WANT.
I'D LIKE TO WASH UP FIRST.
THERE'S A BOWL OF WATER
IN MY OFFICE.
COURT'S SET UP
IN THE GENERAL STORE.
WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE COURTHOUSE?
BURNED DOWN,
ALONG WITH THE HOTEL.
SALOON DIDN'T BURN DOWN,
DID IT?
NOT YET.
GOOD.
YOU SEE TO I THAT IT DOESN' NOT UNTIL I'M GONE ANYWAY.
[]
WILL THIS COUR NOW COME TO ORDER?
JUDGE JOHN WILLIAM GOODNIGH PRESIDING.

[]
THE LAST CASE OF THE DAY...
DOOGAN VERSUS CASSIDY.
YOU'RE CASSIDY?
I AM,
AND IT'S AN HONOR
TO STAND BEFORE YOU, SIR.
YOUR REPUTATION PRECEDES YOU.
WELL, WHAT REPUTATION IS THAT?
WORD IS, YOU'VE NEVER
BEEN WRONG ON A VERDICT.
IF THAT'S TRUE,
WHICH I DOUBT,
LET'S HOPE
YOURS ISN'T THE FIRST.
OH, I'M SURE IT WON'T BE,
AS LONG AS
YOU FIND ME INNOCENT.
[CROWD CHUCKLES GOOD-NATUREDLY]
ARE YOU RELATED TO
MIKE CASSIDY?
NOT BY BLOOD,
BUT HE TOOK ME IN.
HE WAS A GENEROUS MAN.
HE WAS A HORSE THIEF.
IT'S NOT HIS FINEST QUALITY,
I WILL ADMIT--
NOR IS IT YOURS, YOUNG MAN.
THE GREAT TERRITORY
OF WYOMING
HAS A PENALTY
FOR STEALING HORSES.
IT INVOLVES A ROPE.
WELL, I DO PREFER
A NECKTIE TO A ROPE, SIR.
[CROWD CHUCKLING]
I ASSUME YOU'RE ACQUAINTED
WITH CHARLES DOOGAN.
I AM.
I WORK AS A BUTCHER
IN ROCK SPRINGS.
HE WAS A CUSTOMER.
HE'S ACCUSED YOU
OF STEALING HIS HORSE.
I'VE BEEN ACCUSED
OF MANY THINGS, YOUR HONOR.
PROBABLY LESS THAN
HALF OF THEM ARE TRUE.
I'M INTERESTED IN
THE OTHER HALF.
NOW, MR. DOOGAN COULDN' BE WITH US TODAY.
HE'S THE VICTIM
OF AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
YES, I WAS VERY SORRY
TO HEAR ABOUT THAT.
I'M SURE YOU WERE.
HIS AFFIDAVIT STATES
THAT ON THE DAY IN QUESTION
HE WAS RIDING HIS HORSE,
AND YOU GRABBED HIS BRIDLE.
TO BE PRECISE,
I ACTUALLY GRABBED
THE HORSE'S BRIDLE,
AS MR. DOOGAN
WAS NOT BRIDLED THAT DAY.
[LAUGHTER]
[CHUCKLING]
YOU'D MAKE A GOOD LAWYER.
THANK YOU.
THAT IS NOT A COMPLIMENT.
MR. DOOGAN'S HORSE
WAS ABOUT TO THROW HIM,
SO I INTERVENED
AS ANY GOOD SAMARITAN WOULD.
AND WHERE IS THIS HORSE?
IT RAN OFF.
DISAPPEARED,
NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN?
AND HOW DID
YOU GET HERE
FROM ROCK SPRINGS?
I RODE IN.
ON A COW?
[LAUGHTER]
YOUR HONOR,
I'M NOT A HORSE THIEF.
DO I THINK YOU'RE CAPABLE
OF STEALING A HORSE?
THAT AND MORE.
YOU'VE ALSO EXHIBITED
QUALITIES HERE TODAY
THAT LEAD ME TO BELIEVE
YOU COULD DO GREAT THINGS,
IF YOU CHOOSE.
THE ROAD YOU TAKE
IS YET TO BE SEEN.
[YAWNING]
FORTUNATELY FOR YOU,
I'VE HAD A VERY LONG DAY.
THIS IS MY LAST CASE.
I SORELY NEED A DRINK.
THAT COUPLED WITH
A LACK OF EVIDENCE...
INSPIRES ME
TO TAKE A CHANCE ON YOU.
YOU'RE FREE TO GO, MR. CASSIDY.
DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME.
THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR,
AND SHOULD WE MEET AGAIN,
YOU CAN CALL ME WHAT THE FOLKS
AT THE SHOP CALL ME--
"BUTCH."
[]
WELCOME BACK, JUDGE.
CAN I POUR YOU
A WHISKEY?
I WOULD NOT STOP YOU.
OH, A LETTER CAME
FOR YOU
A FEW MONTHS BACK,
AND IT LOOKS...
LIKE A WOMAN'S
HANDWRITING.
YOU OPEN THIS?
IS THAT ILLEGAL?
TAMPERING WITH THE MAIL,
THAT'S A FEDERAL OFFENSE.
I DIDN'T OPEN IT.
THAT'S, UH,
ON THE HOUSE.
[COUGHING AND SPLUTTERING]
WHAT IS THAT?
IS THAT COFFIN VARNISH?
ALL THE GOOD STUFF
WAS BOUGHT UP
BY SOME CASSIDY FELLOW.
[TICKING SOFTLY]
NOW, I WOULDN'T BLAME YOU
IF YOU TURNED ME OVER
TO THE AUTHORITIES RIGHT NOW.
LORD KNOWS, MY HUSBAND
WOULD ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE
IF HE KNEW I WAS TRYING
TO SELL HIS INVENTION.
WELL...
PARDON MY BEING SO BOLD,
BUT IF THIS DOES
WHAT YOU SAY IT DOES,
WHY SELL IT?
WELL, SIR,
I'M A GOD-FEARIN' WOMAN.
THE SIN OF DOING
WHAT I'M DOING ALREADY
IS SURE ENOUGH TO SEND ME
STRAIGHT TO HELL.
BUT I AM A WIDOW NOW
WITH NO MEANS OF SUPPORT.
I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK EAS TO BE WITH MY SISTER
AND TRY AND PICK UP
THE SHATTERED PIECES OF MY LIFE.
A SMALL NEST EGG
WOULD MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.
I UNDERSTAND.
SHOW ME.
OH, WELL,
IT'S REALLY VERY SIMPLE
TO OPERATE.
YOU SEE,
ONCE IT'S SET...
[RATCHETING CRANK]
ONE COMES OUT...
AND THEN THE OTHER.
THIS IS ASTOUNDING.
I CAN'T TELL
THE DIFFERENCE.
AS I MENTIONED,
THE PRESS CAN ONLY PRIN TWO BILLS EVERY SIX HOURS.
YOU SEE, THE PLATES
HAVE TO DRY COMPLETELY,
AND THE INK WELLS
MUST REBALANCE,
OTHERWISE THE BILLS COME OU BLURRED AND DISCOLORED.
[SNIFFLES]
MY HUSBAND
WAS WORKING ON
AN EXPRESS
DYE-TRANSFER SYSTEM
USING ALCOHOL-BASED INKS.
HE DIED BEFORE HE...
I'M SORRY.
[CRYING]
NOW, NOW, MY DEAR.
[SLIDES DRAWER CLOSED]
EVERYTHING'S
GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
HOW MANY OF THESE MACHINES
DO YOU HAVE?
OH, JUST THE ONE.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
[CLEARING THROAT]
SIR, YOUR WIFE
IS ON HER WAY IN.
MY WIFE?
I-I'M HAPPY
TO WAIT HERE WITH YOU
THE SIX HOURS THAT IT TAKES
FOR THE PRESS TO RECYCLE
SO YOU CAN SEE
THAT THE QUALITY IS--
NO, NO, NOW,
THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY.
THE, UM...
SOONER WE CONCLUDE
OUR BUSINESS,
THE SOONER
YOU CAN BOARD THAT TRAIN
AND BE WITH YOUR FAMILY.
UM...
THAT WAS 1,000?
I BELIEVE
WE AGREED ON 2,000, SIR.
MY-MY MISTAKE.
2,000 IT IS.
WELL, THANK YOU KINDLY.
IF I MAY,
A WOMAN ALONE,
SUCH AS YOURSELF,
ESPECIALLY
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,
COULD BE AN EASY MARK
FOR SOMEONE,
SO I WOULD ADVISE YOU
TO BE VERY CAREFUL
WITH ALL THAT MONEY.
OH, I SURELY WILL.
[]
CAN YOU GET ME
IN A GAME?
HOW LONG ARE YOU
HERE FOR THIS TIME?
LET'S SEE...
[UNCLASPING POCKETWATCH]
FIVE HOURS
AND 25 MINUTES.
I'D KEEP YOUR BACK
TO THE PINKERTON
BY THE DOOR.
SHUCKY DARN, LOOK AT THAT!
[LAUGHING GLEEFULLY]
YOU KNOW, YOU KEEP
WINNING LIKE THAT,
I'LL HAVE TO ACCUSE YOU
OF CHEATING.
WELL, I'D BETTER
STOP WINNING THEN.
[LAUGHS]
YOU KNOW, THERE IS AN EASY WAY
TO LEAVE A CASINO
WITH A SMALL FORTUNE.
OH, REALLY?
AND WHAT IS THAT?
WELL, YOU GO IN THERE
WITH A LARGE ONE.
[GIGGLES]
MISS TRUFFAULT...
WHAT A PLEASURE IT IS
TO FINALLY BE BACK
WITHIN YOUR GLOW ONCE AGAIN.
WELL, I'M AFRAID
THE PLEASURE'S ALL YOURS.
PERHAPS I CAN JOIN
YOUR FRIENDLY GAME.
TWO UNUSED, BEAUTIFUL BILLS...
COURTESY OF
A WIDOW FRIEND
IN FORT COLLINS.
YOU TOOK MONEY FROM A WIDOW?
TRUTH BE TOLD, SHE TOOK ME.
[CHUCKLES, SCOFFING]
FORTUNATELY,
YOU LOOK LIKE A MAN
THAT HAS MORE MONEY
THAN HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH.
YOU'RE SORELY MISTAKEN
IF YOU THINK
THIS IS ABOUT MONEY.
[GASPS IN FRIGHT]
SHE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
SHE'S GOT MY MONEY, MISTER.
ARE YOU ADDRESSING ME, SIR?
BECAUSE IF YOU ARE,
THE PROPER MONIKER
WOULD BE "COLONEL."
COLONEL CYRIL KNOX.
I DIDN'T MEAN ANY DISRESPECT...
COLONEL.
THEN YOU WILL LIVE ANOTHER DAY.
RETURN TO YOUR GAME,
GENTLEMEN.
THIS WOMAN
HAS BUSINESS ELSEWHERE.
CYRIL, DON'T DO THIS.
CYRIL--
I WAS A DAY
BEHIND YOU IN ABILENE,
ONLY HOURS IN ALAMOGORDO.
YOUR TRAIL IS LITTERED
WITH THE SOULLESS CORPSES
OF YOUR WOULD-BE BOYFRIENDS--
YOUR VICTIMS,
OF WHICH I AM NOT.
WELL, CLEARLY,
WE HAVE BOTH EXERCISED
POOR JUDGMENT RECENTLY.
SEEING AS HOW YOU'VE COME
ALL THE WAY FROM
FORT COLLINS,
WHY DON'T I
MAKE IT UP TO YOU?
[STAMMERS]
[FUMBLING WITH BILLS]
THAT'S $2,000.
I BELIEVE WE'RE EVEN.
EVEN?
I KILLED YANKEES
IN THE GREAT WAR.
I FOUGHT THE COMANCHE AND KIOWA,
AND THEY LEF NOT A SCRATCH ON MY HIDE.
[YELPING IN FEAR]
THEN YOU TAKE
A BOTTLE TO MY FACE
WHEN I'M SPIRITED?
SORRY.
NOT YET YOU'RE NOT,
BUT YOU WILL BE, HARLOT.
YOU WERE
GOING TO KILL ME--
JUST LIKE YOU DID
TO THAT POOR GENTLEMAN
OVER AN APPLE,
REMEMBER?
I WOULDN'T HAVE
KILLED YOU THEN.
I LOVED YOU.
BUT NOW...
[GASPING IN FEAR]
MY NAME IS LUCY TRUFFAULT!
I'M WANTED FOR LARCENY
IN THREE STATES--
NOW, HOLD ON!
I'M WANTED FOR LARCENY
IN THREE STATES,
AS WELL AS FORGERY,
FRAUD, AND LAND-SCHEMING.
LUCY TRUFFAULT,
ALIAS ALICE TRENT,
ALIAS ALICE IVERS...
WANTED FOR LARCENY, FRAUD,
LAND-SCHEMING, FORGERY,
AND BRIBERY
OF A PUBLIC OFFICIAL.
WELL, I NEVER BRIBED
A PUBLIC OFFICIAL.
SHE'S MINE, PINKERTON.
IT'S COLONEL KNOX, ISN'T IT?
I UNDERSTAND
YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING
FOR MISS TRUFFAUL FOR SOME TIME,
AS HAS THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
AND THE PINKERTON
DETECTIVE AGENCY.
NOW, IT CLEARLY SAYS
HERE ON THIS BILL
THAT ONCE SHE IS FOUND,
SHE IS TO BE BROUGH TO FORT COLLINS
AND REMANDED
INTO CUSTODY
OF A FEDERAL MARSHAL.
COLONEL, MY AUTHORITY HERE
SUPERSEDES YOUR DESIRE
IN THIS CASE.
NOW, YOU ARE WELCOME
TO VISIT MISS TRUFFAUL IN FORT COLLINS PRISON
IN TWO DAYS' TIME.
[SHACKLES RATTLING]
THERE IS NO PLACE
THAT YOU CAN GO
THAT I CAN'T GET TO YOU.
WELL THEN,
MAYBE NEXT TIME,
I'LL JUST HAVE TO TAKE
YOUR WHOLE EYE.
I AM YOUR PRISONER, SIR.
EXCUSE ME.
[TICKING SOFTLY]
[CLICKS, GEARS WHIZ]
[DEVICE CLANKS]
[CHUCKLES IN SATISFACTION]
[RATCHETING CRANK]
[CRANK RATCHETS FURIOUSLY]
[]
THANK YOU.
YOU PROBABLY SAVED MY LIFE
BACK THERE.
IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE
IT WAS GOING TO END WELL.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN A PINKERTON?
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK
TO THE DETAINEES, MA'AM.
WE'VE GOT A TWO-DAY RIDE.
THAT'S GONNA BE AN AWFUL LO OF NOT TALKING.
SIX YEARS.
SIX YEARS, GOODNESS.
WHAT YOU MUST HAVE SEEN
AND DONE IN ALL THAT TIME.
YOUR WIFE MUS WORRY CONSTANTLY.
NO WIFE.
A HANDSOME MAN LIKE YOU?
YOU OVERESTIMATE ME.
YOU UNDERESTIMATE YOURSELF.
MAY I SEE MY WANTED POSTER?
$200 REWARD...
THAT'S IT?
THAT'S DISAPPOINTIN'.
IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A WOMAN.
SO I'M NOT WORTH AS MUCH?
NO, MA'AM, YOU ARE NOT.
WELL, IF YOU WERE MARRIED,
YOU WOULD QUICKLY REALIZE
THAT A GOOD WOMAN
IS QUITE EQUAL TO A MAN,
IF NOT SUPERIOR.
FINE.
COULD YOU JUS TAKE THESE CUFFS OFF?
THEY'RE HURTIN'.
PLEASE?
WELL, I'M NO GOING TO TRY TO ESCAPE.
IF I DO, YOU CAN SHOOT ME.
ORDERS ARE
TO TAKE YOU IN ALIVE.
JUST SHOOT ME IN THE FOOT THEN.
[]
KILL THE PINKERTON
AND THE DRIVER.
LEAVE THE WOMAN FOR ME.
[]
[DISTANT GUNSHOTS]
[THUNDERING HOOFBEATS
AND GUNSHOTS]
[TRADING GUNFIRE]
[SHOTS BLASTING]
[RIFLE BLASTING]
I'M SORRY,
I'M SO SORRY...
[SHACKLES RATTLING]
[GASPING IN FEAR]
DON'T SHOOT!
DON'T SHOOT!
[KEY RATTLING IN SHACKLE]
DON'T SHOOT.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES.
THANKS TO YOU.
I'M AFRAID I CAN'T SAY THE SAME
FOR YOUR COMPANION.
MA'AM, WHA ARE YOU DOING
TRAVELING
WITH A PINKERTON?
MY FATHER HIRED HIM
TO ESCORT ME
TO FORT COLLINS.
I'M LUCY TRUFFAULT.
JOHN GOODNIGHT.
I WAS OUT WES BUYING SPECULATIVE LAND
FOR MY FATHER'S MINING COMPANY.
SUPERIOR MINES OF PENNSYLVANIA?
DUE TO
OUR FAMILY WEALTH,
HE THOUGHT I MIGHT BE
A TARGET FIR KIDNAPPING...
ARE YOU ROBBING HIM?
I WOULDN'T BLAME YOU
IF YOU WERE.
I'M NOT ROBBING HIM.
WELL...
IT'S GOING TO GET LATE,
AND I THINK I'D BETTER
BE ON MY WAY.
I CAN GET YOU
AS FAR AS THE NEXT TOWN.
OH, NO, THANK YOU.
YOU'VE DONE
QUITE ENOUGH ALREADY.
I'M JUST GOING TO TAKE
ONE OF THEIR HORSES.
THERE WERE
FOUR SHOOTERS, MA'AM.
I ONLY GOT TWO OF THEM.
I'M SURE
THEY'RE LONG GONE BY NOW.
I'LL BE FINE.
GIVEN THE STATE
OF YOUR LAST ESCORT,
I PROBABLY SHOULD
LET YOU RIDE ON ALONE,
BUT I'M AFRAID
I CAN'T DO THAT.
WELL...
IT'S VERY RARE TO MEE A REAL GENTLEMAN OUT HERE.
I'M NOT SURE YOU HAVE YET.
WHERE ARE YOU FROM,
MR. GOODNIGHT?
CHICAGO.
THAT'S A LONG RIDE.
THERE'VE BEEN A FEW STOPS
ALONG THE WAY.
YOU SHOO LIKE A LAWMAN,
OR AN OUTLAW.
YOU EITHER ONE?
NOPE.
I ADMIT THAT'S
A BIT OF A RELIEF.
WHAT, THA I'M NOT AN OUTLAW--
OR A LAWMAN?
WELL, LAWMEN
HAVE TOO MANY RULES,
AND OUTLAWS HAVE NONE.
I LIKE TO LIVE
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE.
INTERESTING THOUGHTS
FOR A WOMAN OF PRIVILEGE.
ARE YOU ACCUSTOMED TO
MANY WOMEN OF PRIVILEGE?
NONE THAT DRESS
LIKE THAT.
PURELY A BUSINESS
DECISION.
MOST LANDOWNERS,
BEING MEN,
ARE MORE INCLINED TO
GIVE ME A GOOD PRICE
WHEN I WEAR THIS DRESS.
WE'RE THAT PREDICTABLE,
ARE WE?
SADLY, YES.
I NOTICE YOU DON'T HAVE
MANY SUITCASES.
YOU TRAVELING LIGHT?
WELL, MY BAGS MUST HAVE
FALLEN OFF DURING THE ATTACK.
WELL, I HAVE A BLANKE IF YOU GET COLD.
THANK YOU.
[]
HOW LONG HAVE I
BEEN ASLEEP?
SEE THAT BALL
IN THE SKY?
THAT'S THE SUN.
YOU RODE ALL NIGHT?
YUP.
SORRY I WASN' BETTER COMPANY.
I'VE HAD WORSE.
REALLY?
YUP, I ONCE HAULED
A DEAD BODY
ALL THE WAY
FROM LAREDO TO LARAMIE.
I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO THANK YOU.
WOULD YOU
ACCEPT A REWARD?
YOUR COMPANY
IS REWARD ENOUGH.
[CHUCKLES COYLY]
WHOA...
I'M VERY GRATEFUL.
MAYBE... I HOPE TO
SEE YOU AGAIN SOME TIME.
WELL, WHAT ABOU RIGHT NOW?
YOU CAN GO WITH ME
INTO THAT SHERIFF'S
OFFICE RIGHT THERE.
OH, WELL, AS DELIGHTFUL
AS THAT SOUNDS,
WHATEVER FOR?
BECAUSE YOU'RE THE WITNESS
TO TWO MURDERS.
OH, WELL, I REALLY
DIDN'T SEE MUCH,
ALL DUCKED DOWN
INSIDE AS I WAS--
SHERIFF!
BUT ABSOLUTELY,
IF I CAN HELP...
[GROANING WEARILY]
JOHN GOODNIGHT.
THIS IS MISS TRUFFAULT.
HI, SHERIFF.
UM, HAVE WE MET BEFORE?
SURELY, I'D
REMEMBER THAT, MA'AM.
HER COACH WAS AMBUSHED
SOME 50 MILES OU ON THE MORMON TRAIL
WHEN I HAPPENED BY.
THEY KILLED THE DRIVER
OF THAT STAGE
AND THE PINKERTON
WHO WAS ESCORTING HER.
HIRED BY HER FATHER.
HE'S A BUSINESSMAN.
IT'S SUPERIOR MINES
OF PENNSYLVANIA, RIGHT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
THE PINKERTON WAS
SUPPOSED TO ESCORT HER
TO FORT COLLINS.
AND THE ATTACKERS?
TWO RODE OFF.
TWO DEAD--
HIRED GUNS
FROM THE LOOKS OF IT.
WELL-ARMED AND WELL-PAID.
THIS IS FOR THE RELATIVES
AND THE NEXT OF KIN.
OF THE TWO
THAT RODE OFF,
ONE OF THEM WAS AN APACHE--
FIGURED HIM FOR A TRACKER.
THE OTHER ONE
SEEMED TO BE IN CHARGE--
ALTHOUGH MISS TRUFFAUL MAY HAVE SOME
ALTERNATE THEORIES?
WELL, I DON'T GENERALLY
ACQUAINT MYSELF
WITH KIDNAPPERS AND MURDERERS.
OF COURSE NOT.
I'LL WIRE
THE PINKERTON OFFICE
AND LET THEM KNOW.
OH.
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'LL TAKE
BEFORE THEY GET BACK?
HARD TO SAY.
COULD BE A DAY OR MORE.
BIG STORM BACK EAST'S
BEEN KNOCKING DOWN
THE WIRES.
RIGHT.
WELL, IF THERE'S NOTHING MORE
I CAN ADD,
I'D LIKE TO BUY A FEW DRESSES,
REPLACE WHAT I'VE LOST.
YOU DO THAT.
WE'RE GONNA BE
DISCUSSING
SOME UGLY
PARTICULARS NOW.
WE WOULDN'T WAN TO OFFEND YOUR, UH...
YOUR DELICATE
SENSIBILITIES.
NO...
NO, NO, WE WOULDN' WANT TO DO THAT.
[CLEARS THROAT]
WHOEVER KILLED THAT PINKERTON
DID IT WITH A LONG RIFLE,
AND THEY WERE A HELL OF A SHOT.
FROM THE SADDLE, 100 YARDS,
STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART?
NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE
CAN SHOOT LIKE THAT.
I'LL PUT WORD OUT.
ALL RIGHT, HIS BODY
AND THE DRIVER'S
ARE IN THE BACK
OF THAT COACH.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THEM.
GOT YOUR DOCKE HERE, JUDGE.
I APPRECIATE IT.
[]
WHEN'S THE NEXT STAGE IN?
UM, WHERE YOU HEADED?
ANYWHERE.
EXCEPT CHEYENNE.
SPRINGFIELD LINE'S DUE IN
DAY AFTER TOMORROW.
THAT IS,
IF IT GETS HERE ON TIME.
NOTHING SOONER?
[CLEARS THROAT]
N-NO, MA'AM.
I COULDN'T HELP
BUT NOTICING
YOU'RE, UH, YOU'RE
WEARING THE SAME DRESS.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN
WOMEN'S CLOTHES,
MR. GOODNIGHT?
ON AND OFF.
MOSTLY OFF, I EXPECT.
THAT'S QUITE A LARGE
PLATE OF FOOD
FOR JUST ONE PERSON.
I GUESS I WORKED UP
AN APPETITE
SAVING YOUR LIFE.
YOU KNOW, I NOTICED
YOU WERE A LITTLE ANXIOUS
TO GET OUT OF
THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
I JUST DIDN'T LIKE
HOW HE WAS LOOKING AT ME.
MY GUESS IS
HE DOESN'T SEE A LOT OF WOMEN
WHO LOOK LIKE YOU.
WELL, HOW DO I LOOK?
WELL, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
IT'S A LITTLE PAINFUL
TO LOOK AT YOU.
OH.
LIKE LOOKING INTO THE SUN.
OH, IT'S MUCH WORSE.
THERE'S A TELEGRAPH OFFICE
ACROSS THE WAY
IF YOU WANT TO
WIRE YOUR FATHER.
I DON'T THINK
I WANT TO WORRY HIM.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GE TO FORT COLLINS?
WELL, AFTER YESTERDAY,
FORT COLLINS
HAS LOST ITS APPEAL.
I'VE DECIDED I'D TAKE A TRAIN,
HEAD BACK EAST.
WELL, THE NEAREST RAIL,
THAT'S...
THAT'S CODY.
200 MILES RIGHT THROUGH
INDIAN TERRITORY.
I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU'RE HEADED
IN THAT DIRECTION.
I HADN' PLANNED ON IT.
WELL, I'D MAKE I WORTH YOUR WHILE.
HOW SO?
OH.
MONEY.
OH, YOU DON'T LIKE MONEY?
ON THE CONTRARY,
IT'S, UH, IT'S HIGH ON MY LIST.
HMM.
WELL, WHATEVER ELSE IS
HIGH ON YOUR LIST,
MONEY'S ALL I'M OFFERING.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
I'VE GOT A LITTLE BUSINESS
TO CONDUCT HERE,
AND WHEN I'M DONE,
I'D LIKE TO HAVE A DRINK,
THEN A GAME OF CARDS,
THEN A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP,
PREFERABLY ON A BED.
GOOD, WE CAN LEAVE
IN THE MORNING.
YOU'RE PRETTY USED TO
GETTING EVERYTHING YOU WANT,
AREN'T YOU?
NOT ANY MORE
THAN YOU ARE, I EXPECT.
HMM.
WELL, I DO HATE
TO CUT THIS SHORT,
BUT I HAVE TO BE SOMEWHERE.
MISS TRUFFAULT.
OH, I HAVE NO OBJECTIONS
TO YOU CALLING ME LUCY.
GLAD TO KNOW IT.
BETTER NOT.
DON'T WANT TO
WAKE ANYBODY UP IN THERE.
[CROWD CHUCKLES]
WILL THIS COUR NOW COME TO ORDER?
JUDGE JOHN WILLIAM GOODNIGH PRESIDING...
LUCY.
WOULD YOU, UH,
LIKE TO JOIN US?
OH, PERHAPS
ANOTHER TIME, YOUR HONOR.
YOU HAVE SOMEPLACE
BETTER TO BE?
WELL, WHY NOT?
I AM QUITE INTERESTED IN
THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
YES, I THOUGH YOU MIGHT BE.
I GOT THAT WIRE OU TO THE PINKERTONS.
SHOULDN'T BE LONG NOW.
WONDERFUL.
GENTLEMAN AND LADIES
OF THIS COURT,
OCTOBER 31, 1847.
THAT IS THE DAY I WAS BORN,
NOT YESTERDAY.
SO, KEEP THAT IN MIND
WHILE TRYING NOT TO
PERJURE YOURSELVES.
FIRST UP,
TAYLOR VERSUS KEMPNER.
GENTLEMEN, WHAT SEEMS
TO BE THE PROBLEM?
MR. TAYLOR
BOUGHT A GUN FROM ME,
AND HE OWES ME $57.
THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY
FOR A GUN.
WHAT IS IT, GOLD-PLATED?
IT JUST CAME
ON THE MARKET, YOUR HONOR.
IT'S A DOUBLE ACTION,
SELF-COCKING PIECE.
FIRES TWICE AS FAS AS THAT OLD PERCUSSION CAP
PISTOL YOU HAVE THERE,
AND IT USES
A HIGH-VELOCITY CARTRIDGE
THAT'LL BURN EVEN WHEN WET.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT GUN
WILL FIRE IN THE RAIN?
HELL, YOU CAN FIRE I IN A BATHTUB.
WELL, MR. KEMPNER,
MY BATHS AREN'T USUALLY
THAT EXCITING.
[LAUGHTER]
BEFORE I ASK YOU
WHY YOU DIDN'T PAY HIM,
I'D LIKE TO SEE
THE GUN IN QUESTION, PLEASE.
THIS IS A VERY NICE GUN.
DO YOU ALWAYS TAKE
EVIDENCE FROM YOUR CASES?
TAKE?
I PAID $62 FOR
THIS ITEM RIGHT HERE.
YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME
YOU WERE A JUDGE.
I COULD HAVE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU?
ONCE PEOPLE FIND OUT,
THEY ACT DIFFERENT.
THEY TRY TO HIDE THINGS.
I JUST LIKE TO HAVE
A NORMAL CONVERSATION
ONCE IN A WHILE.
OH, SO YOU THINK I HAVE
SOMETHING TO HIDE?
EVERYBODY DOES.
IT MUST BE
A STRANGE FEELING,
DECIDING PEOPLE'S FATES.
PEOPLE DECIDE
THEIR OWN FATES MOSTLY.
BUT YOU HAVE THE POWER
TO PUT THEM AWAY.
I ALSO HAVE THE POWER
TO SET 'EM FREE.
WHICH DO YOU PREFER?
I COULD MAKE A MISTAKE
EITHER WAY,
ALTHOUGH IT'S HARDER TO UNDO
HANGING A MAN.
I THINK I'LL TURN IN
FOR THE NIGHT.
I HAVE A ROOM UPSTAIRS.
[CHUCKLES]
I HAVE MY OF OWN ROOM,
THANK YOU.
I'M SURE YOU DO.
I WAS JUS TRYING TO BE POLITE.
WELL, YOU ARE THAT.
CAN I WALK YOU
TO YOUR ROOM THEN?
THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY.
I'LL SEE YOU
IN THE MORNING THEN.
[]
WHAT'LL IT BE?
[HASTY KNOCK ON DOOR]
[COCKING GUN]
WHO IS IT?
[LUCY, QUIETLY]
IT'S ME.
CHANGE YOUR MIND?
THERE WAS A RA IN MY ROOM.
OOH, I HATE RATS.
I THINK I'D JUST FEEL BETTER
IF I STAYED
HERE WITH YOU TONIGHT.
OH, I KNOW I'D FEEL BETTER.
DID YOU GET YOUR WHISKEY
AND POKER GAME?
WHISKEY, YES.
POKER, NO.
AH.
THAT'S A SMALL BED.
HMM.
[SIGHING]
[]
ARE YOU COMFORTABLE?
OH, VERY.
GOOD.
[THUMPS HEAD]
WHERE YOU GOING?
I AM GOING OUT.
OUT WHERE?
OUT THERE.
ARE YOU COMING BACK?
OF COURSE, I'M COMING BACK.
I LEFT MY HAT, DIDN'T I?
[SLAMS DOOR]
[]
THE QUESTION IS,
IS LADY LUCK
GOING TO BE ON YOUR ARM,
OR ON MY ARM TONIGHT, FRIEND.
SHE CAN BE A FICKLE LADY,
CAN'T SHE?
LET'S SEE THIS DEED.
160 ACRES OF DIRT.
LUCKY ME.
GAME'S OVER,
GENTLEMEN.
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.
WHOA, WHOA,
YOU CAN'T STOP NOW.
YOU GOTTA GIVE US A CHANCE
TO WIN THAT BACK--
YOU WAN THAT LAND BACK?
I CAN ARRANGE
TO HAVE YOU BURIED ON IT.
FRENCH CROOK, RIGHT?
YEAH, I USED TO SMOKE THOSE.
FINALLY, SOMEONE CIVILIZED.
WELL, I WOULDN' GO THAT FAR.
YOU MIND
IF I PULL UP A SEAT?
WELL, IF IT SUITS YOU.
CYRIL KNOX.
A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU,
MR. KNOX.
JOHN GOODNIGHT.
IT'S COLONEL KNOX.
YOU LIKE GAMES OF CHANCE,
MR. GOODNIGHT?
WELL, THAT DEPENDS.
HOUSE RULES OR YOUR RULES?
HEY, IF YOU'RE WINNING,
FEEL FREE TO WALK AWAY.
HOW ABOU IF YOU'RE WINNING?
OH, I WILL BE.
CAVALRY, COLONEL?
INDEED.
YOU'RE NOT IN UNIFORM.
NO, I'M NO LONGER
ON ACTIVE DUTY.
YOU'RE NOT A, UH...
DESERTER, ARE YOU?
NO.
I'M JUST PURSUING
MORE PROFITABLE INTERESTS.
600...
NOT MUCH PROFI IN SERVING ONE'S COUNTRY,
UNLESS YOU, UH, COUNT HONOR.
HERE'S TO YOUR HONOR.
NO ONE HAS TOASTED MY HONOR
IN A VERY LONG TIME.
MINE EITHER.
DID YOU SERVE?
REGRETFULLY, UH, NO.
I SPENT SEVEN YEARS SERVICE
FIGHTING SAVAGES.
I DID WHAT WAS REQUIRED,
WHAT WAS NEEDED,
BUT CERTAIN ACTIONS
THAT WERE HERALDED
DURING THE WARS
HAVE FALLEN OUT OF FAVOR.
WELL, I WOULD SAY,
DEPENDING UPON WHAT ACTIONS
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT,
I'D SAY YOU GOT OFF LUCKY.
HOW'S THAT?
GROUNDS FOR DISMISSAL
IN THE MILITARY,
THAT MIGHT GET YOU HUNG
IN A CIVILIAN COURT.
ARE YOU A LAWYER?
I DON'T LIKE LAWYERS.
[GOODNIGHT CHUCKLES]
ME NEITHER.
THAT'S WHY I BECAME A JUDGE.
[CHUCKLES IN WONDER]
I NEVER BEAT A JUDGE
IN CARDS BEFORE.
YOU EVER LOSE TO ONE?
[CHUCKLING]
DO YOU BELIEVE IN LUCK, JUDGE?
I DO.
HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPLAIN
THE SUCCESS
OF THOSE YOU DISLIKE?
I DON'T.
I'M ALL IN.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
I'LL SEE THAT...
AND RAISE YOU.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
YOU THROW IN
ONE OF THOSE CIGARS,
AND THAT DEED RIGHT THERE,
WE'LL CALL IT EVEN.
COMIN' AT YA, JUDGE.
THREE KINGS.
WOW...
BEATEN BY A STRAIGHT.
AH...
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
I THINK I'M GOING TO
HAVE TO GET GOING.
I HAVE GOT ME A DATE UPSTAIRS
WITH A HARD FLOOR.
[COCKING GUN]
YOU DID SAY THAT I COULD
WALK AWAY IF I WAS UP.
I CHANGED MY MIND.
YOU GOING TO SHOOT A JUDGE?
I'M THINKING ABOUT IT.
WELL, WHILE YOU'RE THINKING
ABOUT THAT,
WHY DON'T YOU THINK ABOUT THIS--
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE
THAT DON'T LIKE YOU ALREADY.
YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
YOU'RE LIABLE TO GO TO JAIL
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
I HOPE WE GE TO PLAY AGAIN SOMETIME.
I HOPE NOT.
HEY...
TAKE THIS HOME,
YOU PUT IT UNDER YOUR MATTRESS,
AND YOU DON'T BRING I TO TOWN AGAIN.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
MY FATHER WAS A DIRT-FARMER
JUST LIKE YOU.
HE DIDN'T MAKE IT,
AND YOU WON'T EITHER,
IF YOU KEEP GAMBLING
YOUR STAKE AWAY LIKE THAT.
YOU GOT A WIFE AND KIDS?
YEAH.
WELL, THEY DESERVE
BETTER THAN THAT.
YOU GET HOME TO 'EM.
THANK YOU, SIR.
BLESS YOU, SIR.
[RIFLE COCKING]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IT'S THE APACHE
FROM YESTERDAY.
WHY IS HE GOING
TO SEE THE SHERIFF?
IT SEEMS STRANGE
TO FOLLOW SOMEONE
SO FAR, SO LONG.
IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE
KIDNAPPING.
WHAT DOES I FEEL LIKE?
PERSONAL.
I DON'T TRUST THAT SHERIFF.
MAYBE I DON' EITHER ANYMORE.
COME ON.
[SPLUTTERING
AND GASPING FOR AIR]
WELL, YOU SURE TOOK YOUR TIME.
YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.
BARELY.
WE ARE WELL OFF
THE BEATEN TRACK.
APACHE TRACKER.
RIGHT.
WHERE DID YOU GE THAT FANCY CIGAR?
I WON IT LAST NIGH OFF A BAD MAN
WITH A NASTY SCAR.
WHAT, YOU DON' LIKE CIGARS?
HOW INSIGHTFUL.
YEAH...
YEAH, SEEMS LIKE I'VE GO A LOT OF INSIGHT THESE DAYS.
NOT SLEEPING
WILL DO THAT TO YOU.
DO SHARE YOUR MUSINGS.
ALL RIGHT,
WELL, SINCE
YOU ASKED,
I'M BEGINNING
TO THINK
THERE IS NO SUPERIOR MINES
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
[CHUCKLES]
YOU DO HAVE
A SUSPICIOUS NATURE.
WHY DID YOU COME
TO MY ROOM LAST NIGHT?
I TOLD YOU,
THERE WAS A RAT IN MY ROOM.
SO, WHAT,
I'M THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS?
OR PERHAPS
I JUST WANTED TO SHARE
IN THE PLEASURE
OF YOUR COMPANY.
YEAH, IF THA WERE THE CASE,
I WOULDN'T BE SLEEPING
ON THE FLOOR.
[CHUCKLES]
SORRY, I DIDN'T REALIZE
I WAS ON THE WITNESS STAND.
THOSE MEN
WHO ATTACKED THAT STAGECOACH,
THEY WERE
IN TOWN LAST NIGHT.
AND I GOT A FEELING
THAT YOU KNOW
EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE.
REALLY? THEN
WHY WOULDN'T I TURN THEM IN?
I'VE BEEN ASKING MYSELF
THAT VERY SAME QUESTION.
SUPERIOR MINES OF PENNSYLVANIA
WAS FOUNDED IN 1831
BY NATHAN TRUFFAULT.
IT PRODUCES OVER
300 METRIC TONS OF COAL
PER YEAR.
IT WAS TAKEN OVER BY MY FATHER,
NATHAN TRUFFAULT II, IN 1864.
WELL, THAT IS
AN IMPRESSIVE LIST OF FACTS,
SO AT LEAST WE KNOW
YOU'VE GOT A GOOD MEMORY.
WELL, NOT AS GOOD AS
YOUR IMAGINATION.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
WHEN I'M SAFELY BACK HOME
IN PHILADELPHIA,
I WILL SEND YOU A LETTER
ON COMPANY STATIONERY.
I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.
GO.
[CLUCKING TO HORSE]
[]
LET'S STOP HERE.
WE'LL CAMP HERE
FOR THE NIGHT.
YOU RIDE LIKE
YOU'VE BEEN IN THE SADDLE
FOR A LONG TIME,
MISS TRUFFAULT.
WELL, THE WES IS A BIG PLACE, JUDGE.
WHEN YOU'RE BUYING LAND,
YOU'RE HARD PRESSED
TO FIND A GOOD PRICE
NEXT TO A RAIL LINE.
BEING A WOMAN OUT HERE,
ALL BY YOUR OWN...
I'VE BEEN KNOWN
TO FIND COMFOR IN THE ARMS OF
A STRANGER--
AS I'M SURE YOU HAVE,
MR. GOODNIGHT.
I'M A CIRCUIT JUDGE.
ALL I DO IS RIDE
FROM TOWN TO TOWN.
STRANGERS IS ALL I EVER MEET.
I MYSELF DON'T TEND
TO STAY IN ANY ONE PLACE
FOR TOO LONG.
YOU MUST BE THE SAME, I EXPECT,
TO CHOOSE A LIFE LIKE THIS.
I DIDN'T CHOOSE IT.
[CHUCKLES]
SO YOU DIDN'T MAKE
YOUR WAY OUT WES TO BRING JUSTICE
TO THE GREAT UNTAMED?
NO, I CAME OUT HERE
LOOKING FOR REVENGE.
DID YOU GET IT?
I'M NOT SURE.
HOW DID IT FEEL?
NOT LIKE I THOUGHT IT WOULD.
THEN MIGHT I ASK
WHY YOU HAVEN' RETURNED TO CHICAGO?
JUST SOME OF
THE PLACES I'VE BEEN,
THINGS I'VE SEEN,
THAT CHANGES YOU.
WELL, MAYBE ONE DAY,
YOU'LL FIND THE RIGHT WOMAN
AND SETTLE DOWN.
DON'T BE
THINKING IT'S ME,
'CAUSE IT'S NOT.
POINT TAKEN.
[]
[GUNS COCKING]
I JUST WANT THE GIRL.
WHY?
HE'LL KILL ME IF I SAY.
I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T.
[RIFLE BLASTS]
[RIFLE BLASTING]
[TRADING GUNFIRE]
FIRE IN HIS DIRECTION.
DON'T SHOOT ME.
[TRADING GUNFIRE]
[SHOTS BLASTING]
RIDE!
[GUNFIRE BLASTING]
WE'RE SITTING DUCKS
OUT IN THE OPEN
FOR THAT LONG RIFLE.
IF WE CAN MAKE I TO THIS RAVINE UP HERE,
AT LEAS WE'LL HAVE A CHANCE.
GO!
[SHOTS BLASTING]
[BULLETS WHIZ AND PING]
[BULLETS CRACK AND RICOCHET]
[SHOTS BLASTING]
WE'RE OUT OF REAL ESTATE.
WE COULD JUMP.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WELL, HE'S NO GOING TO FOLLOW US.
WOULD YOU MAKE THAT JUMP
IF YOU WEREN'T GETTING SHOT AT?
WELL, I AM GETTING SHOT AT,
AND THERE'S NO WAY
I'M GOING TO MAKE IT--
NO!
[SCREAMING]
THAT'S COLD!
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE I TO THAT BOAT!
[STEAMBOAT CHUGGING]
YOU DIDN'T EVEN ASK ME
IF I COULD SWIM.
I DIDN'T REALLY THINK
IT WAS GONNA MATTER.
I THOUGHT THE FALL
WAS GONNA KILL US.
NORMALLY, WE DON' TAKE ON PASSENGERS
BETWEEN PORTS,
BUT, IN THIS CASE,
WE'LL BE GLAD TO ACCOMMODATE
YOU, YOUR HONOR.
WELL, I APPRECIATE IT.
WILL YOU
AND MRS. GOODNIGH BE WANTING
A FIRST-CLASS CABIN?
OH, UH, TWO
FIRST-CLASS CABINS,
OR THE BEST YOU HAVE.
I PREFER ONE CABIN.
I BET YOU WOULD.
IT'S FOR SAFETY.
WELL, I'LL TAKE
MY CHANCES.
DON'T COME KNOCKING
ON MY DOOR
IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGH COMPLAINING ABOUT RATS.
CAPTAIN, ARE THERE RATS
ABOARD THIS SHIP, SIR?
I'M AFRAID SO, MA'AM.
MOST OF THEM
WEARING FANCY CLOTHES.
CAPTAIN, WHEN DOES
THIS BOAT DOCK IN CODY?
ABOUT 12:00 TOMORROW.
WE'VE A FEW STOPS
IN BETWEEN,
BUT SHE MAKES
PRETTY GOOD TIME.
I'M HOPING YOU HAVE
A CASINO ON BOARD, SIR?
OPEN ALL NIGHT.
[]
[INSISTENT POUNDING ON DOOR]
GO AWAY!
UH, SORRY, SIR,
IT'S THE CAPTAIN.
I'M SORRY
TO INTERRUPT.
[SIGHING]
OKAY.
THIS COUR IS IN NOW SESSION.
THE HONORABLE
JOHN WILLIAM GOODNIGH PRESIDING.
THIS BETTER BE GOOD.
YOU GOT ME OUT OF
THE FIRST HOT BATH I'VE HAD
IN ALMOST A WEEK.
ALL RIGHT,
WHO DID WHAT TO WHO?
I FOUND THIS MAN IN MY ROOM.
WELL, IT WAS
AN HONEST MISTAKE.
SEE, I HAD A LITTLE
TOO MUCH TO DRINK
AND I OPENED
THE WRONG DOOR.
WAS IT A MISTAKE THA YOUR HAND WAS IN MY SUITCASE?
I THOUGHT IT WAS MINE.
ANYTHING MISSING
FROM YOUR ROOM, MA'AM?
A DIAMOND BROOCH.
I ASSUME, CAPTAIN,
THAT YOU'VE SEARCHED
HIS PERSON AND HIS CABIN?
YES.
WE DIDN'T FIND A BROOCH.
WE FOUND THIS.
DO YOU WEAR
WOMEN'S JEWELRY, SIR?
I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT.
ARE YOU MARRIED?
NOT YET.
YOU A PIRATE?
OF COURSE NOT.
THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH A WOMAN'S RING
AND EARRINGS?
WELL, THEY'RE A GIFT.
IT'S MY MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY.
YOU'RE VERY GENEROUS.
WELL, I LIKE TO THINK SO.
I'M READY TO RULE.
I'VE BEEN DRUNK
A FEW TIMES,
SO IT'S NO DIFFICULT FOR ME
TO ENVISION
A CIRCUMSTANCE
WHERE ALCOHOL
COULD CAUSE A MAN
TO CONFUSE A ROOM,
OR EVEN A SUITCASE,
FOR HIS OWN.
THANK YOU, JUDGE.
BUT I HAVE
NEVER MET A MAN,
DRUNK OR SOBER,
WHO WOULD BUY DIAMONDS
LIKE THA FOR HIS MOTHER.
LET ME SEE THAT CANE.
YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING.
OH, YES,
IT PLEASES THE COURT.
PRODUCE THE CANE.
THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.
[RATTLING]
[UNSCREWING CANE HANDLE]
OH...
YOUR MOTHER
IS A VERY LUCKY WOMAN.
-I CAN EXPLAIN.
-NO NEED.
HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT COLD WATER?
I PREFER WHISKEY.
YEAH, SO DO I.
UNDER THE MARITIME LAW
OF THE TERRITORY OF WYOMING,
I FIND YOU GUILTY.
CAPTAIN, PLEASE ESCOR THE PASSENGER
OVERBOARD.
OVERBOARD?
WELL, GENTLEMEN,
LET'S NOT GET CARRIED AWAY.
NOW, PUT ME DOWN!
BE REASONABLE!
[THIEF SPLUTTERING
AND FUMING]
WHAT ARE YOU,
PIRATES?
THIS AIN'T RIGHT!
I GOT RIGHTS, YOU KNOW!
I'LL GET YOU!
[SCISSORS SNIP]
[BRISK KNOCKING]
YOU READY?
WELL, I SEE YOU GO THAT NEW DRESS.
I BOUGHT I FROM A WOMAN ONBOARD.
IT'S A LITTLE TIGH AROUND THE TOP.
YEAH, I NOTICED.
THAT LITTLE GUN
YOU HAVE
STRAPPED TO YOUR WAIST,
DID YOU GET THA FROM THE SAME WOMAN?
THE CAPTAIN.
HE'S AN ACCOMMODATING FELLOW.
WELL, I THINK THE $20 HELPED.
WHO SHOT YOU?
WHAT?
I KNOW WHAT A GUNSHOT WOUND
LOOKS LIKE.
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO TALK ABOUT IT?
I'D RATHER NOT.
ALL RIGHT,
IT WAS MY FATHER.
THE ESTEEMED
NATHAN TRUFFAULT.
AFTER MY MOTHER DIED,
HE TOOK TO BEATING ME.
WHEN I WAS 13,
I TRIED TO RUN AWAY,
AND HE STOPPED ME
WITH A BULLET,
THUS THE SCAR.
I'M SORRY.
WELL, I RECOVERED.
AND WHEN I DID,
I OPENED HIS SAFE,
TOOK EVERYTHING IN IT AND RAN.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE.
HE MAY BE DEAD,
FOR ALL I KNOW,
BUT...
I CAN ONLY HOPE.
IS THAT WHERE YOU GO YOUR MONEY FROM?
[SIGHS HEAVILY]
NO, THAT RAN OUT YEARS AGO.
NOW...
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW?
YES.
HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR STEAK?
IN A BOTTLE.
NO ICE, NO GLASS.
[LAUGHING AND BUSTLING CROWD]
[]
IS THIS SEAT FREE?
MONEY PLAYS.
WELL...
IT'S THE QUEEN OF HEARTS.
OH, HOW KIND.
ARE YOU COMFORTABLE?
OH, QUITE.
THE PRETTY LADY DEALS.
OH!
WELL, UM...
IS FIVE CARD STUD
ALL RIGHT WITH EVERYONE?
MM,
IT'S BEEN GOOD TO ME ALL NIGHT.
[GIGGLES]
[SHUFFLING CARDS]
ONE, TWO, THREE... FOUR.
TEN BETS.
$20.
OKAY.
I WILL SEE YOUR $20
AND RAISE YOU...
[CLEARS THROAT]
YOU'RE RAISING 50 ON A SIX?
UM... YES.
[LAUGHING INDULGENTLY]
IS THAT ALL RIGHT?
MA'AM, YOU EVER PLAYED
THIS BEFORE?
OH, YES, MANY, MANY TIMES,
WITH MY AUNT JOSEPHINE.
OH.
YOUR AUNT JOSEPHINE.
WELL, I WOULD LOVE TO MEE YOUR AUNT JOSEPHINE.
WELL, I WISH YOU COULD,
BUT SHE IS
RECENTLY DEPARTED.
MY CONDOLENCES.
HOW DID SHE DIE?
PENNILESS WOULD BE MY GUESS.
[SQUEALS GIRLISHLY]
WELL, WOULD YOU LOOK A THAT LOVELY,
LOVELY PAIR.
I'M PRETTY SURE
THEY HAVE BEEN.
[CLEARING THROATS]
I'M GONNA SAY...
PUT IN... $100.
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
I SEE TWO SIXES.
NOT THREE?
NO.
WELL, YOU MUST HAVE
A PEACH OF A HAND.
IT'S GOING TO COST YOU...
$100 TO FIND OUT.
REALLY?
YOU IN OR OUT, SIR?
I'M OUT.
I'M OUT.
ALL RIGHT...
UM...
TWO TENS.
TWO TENS...
$200.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
I'LL SEE YOUR 200,
AND I'LL RAISE YOU ANOTHER 100.
I THINK YOU'RE BLUFFING.
AM I?
[WHISTLING NONCHALANTLY]
SHOULD WE BARE OUR SOULS?
TWO TENS,
AND TENS BEAT SIXES.
NOT THREE SIXES.
[OTHER PLAYERS
CHUCKLE IN DISBELIEF]
[LAUGHTER]
QUEEN OF HEARTS
TAKES THE POT!
[TIMID KNOCKING]
WHO IS IT?
ME.
SLIDE THE MONEY
UNDER THE DOOR.
CAN I HAVE A WORD?
RATS AGAIN?
YOU WERE THE ONE THA WANTED TO SHARE A ROOM.
THAT'S BACK WHEN
I HAD $400.
NOW I DON'T.
I CAME HERE TO APOLOGIZE.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE
CLEANED YOU OUT LIKE THAT.
I HOPE IT WASN' TOO PAINFUL.
IT WAS.
WHY,
BECAUSE I'M A BETTER
CARD PLAYER THAN YOU?
YOUR APOLOGY NEEDS
A LITTLE WORK.
I'LL GIVE YOU
A CHANCE TO WIN IT BACK.
I GOT NOTHING LEFT,
EXCEPT MY CLOTHES.
YOU DON'T WANT THOSE.
MAYBE I DO.
I KNOW YOU DON' TRUST ME.
I KNOW YOU'RE MAD.
I KNOW YOU THINK I'M A LIAR
AND A CHEAT.
BUT, UH, MAYBE YOU COULD
FORGET ALL THAT FOR ONE NIGHT.
PROBABLY NOT.
I MIGHT BE
WILLING TO TRY, THOUGH.
[]
I FEEL SAFE WITH YOU.
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER
SAID THAT TO A MAN BEFORE.
I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE "SAFE"
WAS WHAT I WAS GOING FOR.
[CHUCKLES]
I MAY HAVE MISJUDGED
OUR SITUATION EARLIER.
MAYBE I COULD BE
THE RIGHT GIRL FOR YOU.
OH?
WELL, WE ARE
QUITE COMPANIONABLE,
AND...
I COULD KIND OF ENVISION US
SETTLING DOWN SOMEWHERE.
MAYBE GETTING A HOUSE...
AND A GARDEN.
I'M SICK OF HOTELS.
SOMEWHERE LIKE...
NEW ORLEANS, OR...
ATLANTA.
YOU'RE BLUFFING.
WHAT...
AM I SCARING YOU?
SORT OF.
WELL... LIFE IS SHORT.
IT CAN BE LONG, TOO.
[SIGHS PEACEFULLY]
CAN I ASK YOU
SOMETHING?
I WISH YOU WOULDN'T.
WHO'S KATE?
[SIGHS PAINFULLY]
I READ HER LETTER
WHEN I WAS GOING
THROUGH YOUR THINGS.
WHEN YOU WERE
GOING THROUGH MY THINGS?
I WAS CURIOUS.
THERE'S ANOTHER
NAME FOR IT.
SHE HAS LOVELY
HANDWRITING,
AND WORDS.
I KNOW IT'S NONE
OF MY BUSINESS,
BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKE
SHE STILL...
HAS FEELINGS FOR YOU,
FROM WHAT I READ.
SHE'S SOMEONE
I USED TO KNOW.
CAN'T WE JUS LEAVE IT AT THAT?
HMM.
[SIGHING]
ARE YOU UPSE SHE'S GETTING MARRIED?
NO.
WHY WOULD I BE UPSET?
BECAUSE YOU KEP HER LETTER.
SHE FOUND SOMEONE
THAT'LL BE THERE FOR HER.
SHE DESERVES THAT.
I'M SORRY.
[HEAVY BOOT STEPS OUTSIDE]
WHAT'S THAT SMELL?
THAT'S A BAD CIGAR.
JOHN...
JOHN.
TAKE THIS GUN,
AND YOU SHOOT ANYBODY
THAT COMES THROUGH
THAT CABIN DOOR.
EXCEPT ME.
I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE
FOLLOWING ME.
I'M NOT AFTER YOU.
SURE SHOT A LOT OF BULLETS
INTO ROCKS AND TREES
THIS MORNING.
I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR TRACKER.
WELL, JUST HAND OVER THE GIRL,
AND OUR BUSINESS IS DONE.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT SHE IS TO YOU,
BUT WE ARE FAR FROM DONE.
I KNOW YOU KILLED
THE PINKERTON
AND THE DRIVER.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE
WHAT YOU LAID WASTE TO
IN THAT CAVALRY.
THAT'S ACCUSATIONS
WITH NO PROOF.
I'VE GOT A SPENT SHELL
FROM THAT LONG RIFLE OF YOURS.
THAT'S ALL
THE PROOF I NEED.
I OUGHT TO PUT A BULLE IN YOU RIGHT NOW.
WHAT'S STOPPING YOU?
NOT MUCH.
WALK.
CAPTAIN,
TAKE THIS MURDERING
PIECE OF TRASH BELOW
AND LOCK HIM UP.
WHO IS HE?
HE'S A DISGRACE
TO THE MILITARY.
YEAH, YOU DIDN'T EVEN SERVE.
COWARD.
[BLOW THUDS, GROANS IN PAIN]
I'M SERVING NOW.
THAT'S FOR THE PINKERTON.
THAT'S FOR SHOOTING ME.
WHY NOT JUS KILL HIM RIGHT NOW?
HE'S GONNA HANG ANYWAY.
WELL, THAT'LL BE THE LAW
HANGIN' HIM.
IF I KILLED HIM RIGHT NOW,
IT'D JUST BE ME.
I TELL YOU SOMETHING, THOUGH,
THERE ARE TIMES
I WISH I WASN'T A JUDGE.
[MUTTERING]
THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
[CAPTAIN GROANS IN PAIN]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
[COCKING GUN]
[GOODNIGHT]: IT'S ME.
[UNCOCKS GUN]
WHAT HAPPENED?
YOUR KIDNAPPER,
HE'S LOCKED UP
UNTIL WE DOCK.
WELL, THAT'S
A BIG RELIEF.
YOU DON'T LOOK RELIEVED.
I JUST WISH
YOU'D KILLED HIM.
WHY?
BECAUSE DEAD MEN
DON'T TALK?
YOU'RE WANTED
IN THREE STATES.
FOUR IF YOU STAY HERE
ANY LONGER.
WERE YOU EVER
GOING TO TELL ME?
PROBABLY NOT.
A TRUTHFUL SENTENCE AT LAST.
I HAVE MY FAULTS.
HONESTY
IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
MY FATHER WAS THE FIRS TO PUT A BOUNTY OUT ON ME,
AND...
THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW SINCE.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO KNOX?
OH, I HURT HIM,
BUT NOT NEARLY BAD ENOUGH.
I LIED,
I TOOK SOME MONEY,
MADE SOME PROMISES
I DIDN'T KEEP.
HE'S A HATEFUL MAN
WHO'S DONE HATEFUL THINGS.
AND IF HE WAS
THE ONLY ONE YOU TOOK,
MAYBE I COULD LOOK
THE OTHER WAY.
THE WORLD'S FULL OF BAD MEN.
IT'S NOT FOR YOU TO DECIDE.
WHY, BECAUSE
I'M NOT A JUDGE?
IT'S HARD BEING A WOMAN ALONE.
THERE ARE VERY FEW WAYS
TO MAKE A FORTUNE.
NOT EVERYONE
NEEDS A FORTUNE TO LIVE.
WELL, I DO.
[SCOFFS IN WONDER]
YOU HAVE SOME UNUSUAL THOUGHTS.
[MEEKLY] PERHAPS.
BUT I NEVER DID BUSINESS
WITH ANYONE
WHO DIDN'T DESERVE IT.
AND YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO,
YOU CAN'T CON AN HONEST MAN.
CONNING A DISHONEST ONE
IS STILL AGAINST THE LAW.
WELL, I GUESS
THERE ARE WORSE THINGS.
THERE ALWAYS ARE.
[WOMAN SCREAMS IN HORROR]
JOHN, WAIT!
[GUNSHOT BLASTS]
GOODNIGHT,
WHERE'S THAT HARLOT?
[BULLETS RICOCHET]
[TRADING GUNFIRE]
[SHOUTING IN PROTEST]
IS THAT HOW YOU DO I IN THE CAVALRY,
HIDE BEHIND WOMEN?
LET HER GO NOW...
YOU THINK SHE'S SWEET ON YOU?
SHE TOLD ME SHE LOVED ME, TOO.
SHE SAID SHE WANTED TO
SETTLE DOWN TO ATLANTA,
START A FAMILY.
SHOOT HIM.
HE CAN'T,
SWEETHEART.
HE'S FOND OF YOU.
JOHN, I AM BEGGING YOU,
KILL HIM RIGHT NOW.
GO AHEAD
AND PULL THAT TRIGGER.
SHE'LL BE MY BRIDE IN HELL.
HE'S GOING TO
KILL ME ANYWAY, JOHN!
JUST SHOOT!
GO AHEAD,
TAKE YOUR SHOT,
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
ALL RIGHT.
THE GUN'S DOWN.

OUCH.
OH...
THAT'S THE BEST $62
I EVER SPENT.
OW.
[]
AM I IN HEAVEN
OR HELL?
NEITHER ONE YET.
THAT BULLE HIT THE PINKERTON'S BADGE
THAT WAS IN YOUR POCKET.
SAVED BY THE LAW.
I GUESS WE BOTH WERE.
HERE, THE DOCTOR SAID
YOU'VE GOT SOME
REAL BAD BRUISED RIBS.
THEY'RE GOING TO
HURT FOR A WHILE.
IT DOES.
KNOX IS DEAD.
THAT'S SOMETHING.
IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
I KNOW.
SO...
SHOULD I CALL YOU LUCY
OR ALICE?
WHICHEVER YOU PREFER.
I'LL STICK WITH LUCY.
YOU GOING TO TURN ME IN?
YOU HAVE REMORSE FOR YOUR ACTS?
NO.
YOU'RE NO HELPING YOUR CASE ANY.
YOU WANTED THE TRUTH.
I'M TIRED OF LYING.
ARE YOU TIRED OF RUNNING?
WELL...
I'VE BEEN AT IT A LONG TIME.
IT'S ALL I'VE KNOWN,
BUT, YEAH,
I AM TIRED.
THINGS COULD BE
DIFFERENT BETWEEN US.
I'D LIKE THAT.
IF YOU PAY YOUR DEB TO SOCIETY,
YOU GET A CLEAN SLATE.
OR YOU COULD JUST SAY
I GOT AWAY
AND WE COULD
MEET UP AGAIN LATER.
[CHUCKLES PAINFULLY]
I CAN'T SAY I'M NOT TEMPTED.
WELL...
WHY DON'T YOU SLEEP
ON THAT THOUGHT.
[GROANS]
WHAT WAS IN THAT WHISKEY?
LAUDANUM.
YOU DRUGGED ME?
THE DOCTOR SAID
IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOUR PAIN.
YOU JUST SLEEP NOW.
AND WHEN I WAKE UP,
YOU WON'T BE HERE, IS THAT IT?
SHH, JUST REST.
[GROANS GROGGILY]
[]
WHAT HAPPENED TO
YOUR OTHER DRESS?
I LIKED IT.
YEAH, BU THIS ONE'S MINE.
I KIND OF FIGURED YOU
FOR THE RIVER.
I CONSIDERED IT,
BUT THEN YOU'D HAVE TO
GO IN AFTER ME,
AND THAT WATER'S COLD.
ALWAYS THINKING OF OTHERS.
I WAS THINKING ABOU WHAT YOU SAID TO ME.
I'M TURNING MYSELF IN.
YOU SHOULD TELL ME THA THAT'S NOT A MISTAKE.
I CAN'T DO THAT,
BUT I DO KNOW A JUDGE
WHO MIGHT TAKE IT EASY ON YOU.
IS NOW A GOOD TIME?
NO, LET'S WAIT A BIT.

JUDGE JOHN WILLIAM GOODNIGH PRESIDING.

[]
THE LAST CASE OF THE DAY...
DOOGAN VERSUS CASSIDY.
YOU'RE CASSIDY?
I AM,
AND IT'S AN HONOR
TO STAND BEFORE YOU, SIR.
YOUR REPUTATION PRECEDES YOU.
WELL, WHAT REPUTATION IS THAT?
WORD IS, YOU'VE NEVER
BEEN WRONG ON A VERDICT.
IF THAT'S TRUE,
WHICH I DOUBT,
LET'S HOPE
YOURS ISN'T THE FIRST.
OH, I'M SURE IT WON'T BE,
AS LONG AS
YOU FIND ME INNOCENT.
[CROWD CHUCKLES GOOD-NATUREDLY]
ARE YOU RELATED TO
MIKE CASSIDY?
NOT BY BLOOD,
BUT HE TOOK ME IN.
HE WAS A GENEROUS MAN.
HE WAS A HORSE THIEF.
IT'S NOT HIS FINEST QUALITY,
I WILL ADMIT--
NOR IS IT YOURS, YOUNG MAN.
THE GREAT TERRITORY
OF WYOMING
HAS A PENALTY
FOR STEALING HORSES.
IT INVOLVES A ROPE.
WELL, I DO PREFER
A NECKTIE TO A ROPE, SIR.
[CROWD CHUCKLING]
I ASSUME YOU'RE ACQUAINTED
WITH CHARLES DOOGAN.
I AM.
I WORK AS A BUTCHER
IN ROCK SPRINGS.
HE WAS A CUSTOMER.
HE'S ACCUSED YOU
OF STEALING HIS HORSE.
I'VE BEEN ACCUSED
OF MANY THINGS, YOUR HONOR.
PROBABLY LESS THAN
HALF OF THEM ARE TRUE.
I'M INTERESTED IN
THE OTHER HALF.
NOW, MR. DOOGAN COULDN' BE WITH US TODAY.
HE'S THE VICTIM
OF AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
YES, I WAS VERY SORRY
TO HEAR ABOUT THAT.
I'M SURE YOU WERE.
HIS AFFIDAVIT STATES
THAT ON THE DAY IN QUESTION
HE WAS RIDING HIS HORSE,
AND YOU GRABBED HIS BRIDLE.
TO BE PRECISE,
I ACTUALLY GRABBED
THE HORSE'S BRIDLE,
AS MR. DOOGAN
WAS NOT BRIDLED THAT DAY.
[LAUGHTER]
[CHUCKLING]
YOU'D MAKE A GOOD LAWYER.
THANK YOU.
THAT IS NOT A COMPLIMENT.
MR. DOOGAN'S HORSE
WAS ABOUT TO THROW HIM,
SO I INTERVENED
AS ANY GOOD SAMARITAN WOULD.
AND WHERE IS THIS HORSE?
IT RAN OFF.
DISAPPEARED,
NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN?
AND HOW DID
YOU GET HERE
FROM ROCK SPRINGS?
I RODE IN.
ON A COW?
[LAUGHTER]
YOUR HONOR,
I'M NOT A HORSE THIEF.
DO I THINK YOU'RE CAPABLE
OF STEALING A HORSE?
THAT AND MORE.
YOU'VE ALSO EXHIBITED
QUALITIES HERE TODAY
THAT LEAD ME TO BELIEVE
YOU COULD DO GREAT THINGS,
IF YOU CHOOSE.
THE ROAD YOU TAKE
IS YET TO BE SEEN.
[YAWNING]
FORTUNATELY FOR YOU,
I'VE HAD A VERY LONG DAY.
THIS IS MY LAST CASE.
I SORELY NEED A DRINK.
THAT COUPLED WITH
A LACK OF EVIDENCE...
INSPIRES ME
TO TAKE A CHANCE ON YOU.
YOU'RE FREE TO GO, MR. CASSIDY.
DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME.
THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR,
AND SHOULD WE MEET AGAIN,
YOU CAN CALL ME WHAT THE FOLKS
AT THE SHOP CALL ME--
"BUTCH."
[]
WELCOME BACK, JUDGE.
CAN I POUR YOU
A WHISKEY?
I WOULD NOT STOP YOU.
OH, A LETTER CAME
FOR YOU
A FEW MONTHS BACK,
AND IT LOOKS...
LIKE A WOMAN'S
HANDWRITING.
YOU OPEN THIS?
IS THAT ILLEGAL?
TAMPERING WITH THE MAIL,
THAT'S A FEDERAL OFFENSE.
I DIDN'T OPEN IT.
THAT'S, UH,
ON THE HOUSE.
[COUGHING AND SPLUTTERING]
WHAT IS THAT?
IS THAT COFFIN VARNISH?
ALL THE GOOD STUFF
WAS BOUGHT UP
BY SOME CASSIDY FELLOW.
[TICKING SOFTLY]
NOW, I WOULDN'T BLAME YOU
IF YOU TURNED ME OVER
TO THE AUTHORITIES RIGHT NOW.
LORD KNOWS, MY HUSBAND
WOULD ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE
IF HE KNEW I WAS TRYING
TO SELL HIS INVENTION.
WELL...
PARDON MY BEING SO BOLD,
BUT IF THIS DOES
WHAT YOU SAY IT DOES,
WHY SELL IT?
WELL, SIR,
I'M A GOD-FEARIN' WOMAN.
THE SIN OF DOING
WHAT I'M DOING ALREADY
IS SURE ENOUGH TO SEND ME
STRAIGHT TO HELL.
BUT I AM A WIDOW NOW
WITH NO MEANS OF SUPPORT.
I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK EAS TO BE WITH MY SISTER
AND TRY AND PICK UP
THE SHATTERED PIECES OF MY LIFE.
A SMALL NEST EGG
WOULD MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.
I UNDERSTAND.
SHOW ME.
OH, WELL,
IT'S REALLY VERY SIMPLE
TO OPERATE.
YOU SEE,
ONCE IT'S SET...
[RATCHETING CRANK]
ONE COMES OUT...
AND THEN THE OTHER.
THIS IS ASTOUNDING.
I CAN'T TELL
THE DIFFERENCE.
AS I MENTIONED,
THE PRESS CAN ONLY PRIN TWO BILLS EVERY SIX HOURS.
YOU SEE, THE PLATES
HAVE TO DRY COMPLETELY,
AND THE INK WELLS
MUST REBALANCE,
OTHERWISE THE BILLS COME OU BLURRED AND DISCOLORED.
[SNIFFLES]
MY HUSBAND
WAS WORKING ON
AN EXPRESS
DYE-TRANSFER SYSTEM
USING ALCOHOL-BASED INKS.
HE DIED BEFORE HE...
I'M SORRY.
[CRYING]
NOW, NOW, MY DEAR.
[SLIDES DRAWER CLOSED]
EVERYTHING'S
GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
HOW MANY OF THESE MACHINES
DO YOU HAVE?
OH, JUST THE ONE.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
[CLEARING THROAT]
SIR, YOUR WIFE
IS ON HER WAY IN.
MY WIFE?
I-I'M HAPPY
TO WAIT HERE WITH YOU
THE SIX HOURS THAT IT TAKES
FOR THE PRESS TO RECYCLE
SO YOU CAN SEE
THAT THE QUALITY IS--
NO, NO, NOW,
THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY.
THE, UM...
SOONER WE CONCLUDE
OUR BUSINESS,
THE SOONER
YOU CAN BOARD THAT TRAIN
AND BE WITH YOUR FAMILY.
UM...
THAT WAS 1,000?
I BELIEVE
WE AGREED ON 2,000, SIR.
MY-MY MISTAKE.
2,000 IT IS.
WELL, THANK YOU KINDLY.
IF I MAY,
A WOMAN ALONE,
SUCH AS YOURSELF,
ESPECIALLY
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,
COULD BE AN EASY MARK
FOR SOMEONE,
SO I WOULD ADVISE YOU
TO BE VERY CAREFUL
WITH ALL THAT MONEY.
OH, I SURELY WILL.
[]
CAN YOU GET ME
IN A GAME?
HOW LONG ARE YOU
HERE FOR THIS TIME?
LET'S SEE...
[UNCLASPING POCKETWATCH]
FIVE HOURS
AND 25 MINUTES.
I'D KEEP YOUR BACK
TO THE PINKERTON
BY THE DOOR.
SHUCKY DARN, LOOK AT THAT!
[LAUGHING GLEEFULLY]
YOU KNOW, YOU KEEP
WINNING LIKE THAT,
I'LL HAVE TO ACCUSE YOU
OF CHEATING.
WELL, I'D BETTER
STOP WINNING THEN.
[LAUGHS]
YOU KNOW, THERE IS AN EASY WAY
TO LEAVE A CASINO
WITH A SMALL FORTUNE.
OH, REALLY?
AND WHAT IS THAT?
WELL, YOU GO IN THERE
WITH A LARGE ONE.
[GIGGLES]
MISS TRUFFAULT...
WHAT A PLEASURE IT IS
TO FINALLY BE BACK
WITHIN YOUR GLOW ONCE AGAIN.
WELL, I'M AFRAID
THE PLEASURE'S ALL YOURS.
PERHAPS I CAN JOIN
YOUR FRIENDLY GAME.
TWO UNUSED, BEAUTIFUL BILLS...
COURTESY OF
A WIDOW FRIEND
IN FORT COLLINS.
YOU TOOK MONEY FROM A WIDOW?
TRUTH BE TOLD, SHE TOOK ME.
[CHUCKLES, SCOFFING]
FORTUNATELY,
YOU LOOK LIKE A MAN
THAT HAS MORE MONEY
THAN HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH.
YOU'RE SORELY MISTAKEN
IF YOU THINK
THIS IS ABOUT MONEY.
[GASPS IN FRIGHT]
SHE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
SHE'S GOT MY MONEY, MISTER.
ARE YOU ADDRESSING ME, SIR?
BECAUSE IF YOU ARE,
THE PROPER MONIKER
WOULD BE "COLONEL."
COLONEL CYRIL KNOX.
I DIDN'T MEAN ANY DISRESPECT...
COLONEL.
THEN YOU WILL LIVE ANOTHER DAY.
RETURN TO YOUR GAME,
GENTLEMEN.
THIS WOMAN
HAS BUSINESS ELSEWHERE.
CYRIL, DON'T DO THIS.
CYRIL--
I WAS A DAY
BEHIND YOU IN ABILENE,
ONLY HOURS IN ALAMOGORDO.
YOUR TRAIL IS LITTERED
WITH THE SOULLESS CORPSES
OF YOUR WOULD-BE BOYFRIENDS--
YOUR VICTIMS,
OF WHICH I AM NOT.
WELL, CLEARLY,
WE HAVE BOTH EXERCISED
POOR JUDGMENT RECENTLY.
SEEING AS HOW YOU'VE COME
ALL THE WAY FROM
FORT COLLINS,
WHY DON'T I
MAKE IT UP TO YOU?
[STAMMERS]
[FUMBLING WITH BILLS]
THAT'S $2,000.
I BELIEVE WE'RE EVEN.
EVEN?
I KILLED YANKEES
IN THE GREAT WAR.
I FOUGHT THE COMANCHE AND KIOWA,
AND THEY LEF NOT A SCRATCH ON MY HIDE.
[YELPING IN FEAR]
THEN YOU TAKE
A BOTTLE TO MY FACE
WHEN I'M SPIRITED?
SORRY.
NOT YET YOU'RE NOT,
BUT YOU WILL BE, HARLOT.
YOU WERE
GOING TO KILL ME--
JUST LIKE YOU DID
TO THAT POOR GENTLEMAN
OVER AN APPLE,
REMEMBER?
I WOULDN'T HAVE
KILLED YOU THEN.
I LOVED YOU.
BUT NOW...
[GASPING IN FEAR]
MY NAME IS LUCY TRUFFAULT!
I'M WANTED FOR LARCENY
IN THREE STATES--
NOW, HOLD ON!
I'M WANTED FOR LARCENY
IN THREE STATES,
AS WELL AS FORGERY,
FRAUD, AND LAND-SCHEMING.
LUCY TRUFFAULT,
ALIAS ALICE TRENT,
ALIAS ALICE IVERS...
WANTED FOR LARCENY, FRAUD,
LAND-SCHEMING, FORGERY,
AND BRIBERY
OF A PUBLIC OFFICIAL.
WELL, I NEVER BRIBED
A PUBLIC OFFICIAL.
SHE'S MINE, PINKERTON.
IT'S COLONEL KNOX, ISN'T IT?
I UNDERSTAND
YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING
FOR MISS TRUFFAUL FOR SOME TIME,
AS HAS THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
AND THE PINKERTON
DETECTIVE AGENCY.
NOW, IT CLEARLY SAYS
HERE ON THIS BILL
THAT ONCE SHE IS FOUND,
SHE IS TO BE BROUGH TO FORT COLLINS
AND REMANDED
INTO CUSTODY
OF A FEDERAL MARSHAL.
COLONEL, MY AUTHORITY HERE
SUPERSEDES YOUR DESIRE
IN THIS CASE.
NOW, YOU ARE WELCOME
TO VISIT MISS TRUFFAUL IN FORT COLLINS PRISON
IN TWO DAYS' TIME.
[SHACKLES RATTLING]
THERE IS NO PLACE
THAT YOU CAN GO
THAT I CAN'T GET TO YOU.
WELL THEN,
MAYBE NEXT TIME,
I'LL JUST HAVE TO TAKE
YOUR WHOLE EYE.
I AM YOUR PRISONER, SIR.
EXCUSE ME.
[TICKING SOFTLY]
[CLICKS, GEARS WHIZ]
[DEVICE CLANKS]
[CHUCKLES IN SATISFACTION]
[RATCHETING CRANK]
[CRANK RATCHETS FURIOUSLY]
[]
THANK YOU.
YOU PROBABLY SAVED MY LIFE
BACK THERE.
IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE
IT WAS GOING TO END WELL.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN A PINKERTON?
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK
TO THE DETAINEES, MA'AM.
WE'VE GOT A TWO-DAY RIDE.
THAT'S GONNA BE AN AWFUL LO OF NOT TALKING.
SIX YEARS.
SIX YEARS, GOODNESS.
WHAT YOU MUST HAVE SEEN
AND DONE IN ALL THAT TIME.
YOUR WIFE MUS WORRY CONSTANTLY.
NO WIFE.
A HANDSOME MAN LIKE YOU?
YOU OVERESTIMATE ME.
YOU UNDERESTIMATE YOURSELF.
MAY I SEE MY WANTED POSTER?
$200 REWARD...
THAT'S IT?
THAT'S DISAPPOINTIN'.
IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A WOMAN.
SO I'M NOT WORTH AS MUCH?
NO, MA'AM, YOU ARE NOT.
WELL, IF YOU WERE MARRIED,
YOU WOULD QUICKLY REALIZE
THAT A GOOD WOMAN
IS QUITE EQUAL TO A MAN,
IF NOT SUPERIOR.
FINE.
COULD YOU JUS TAKE THESE CUFFS OFF?
THEY'RE HURTIN'.
PLEASE?
WELL, I'M NO GOING TO TRY TO ESCAPE.
IF I DO, YOU CAN SHOOT ME.
ORDERS ARE
TO TAKE YOU IN ALIVE.
JUST SHOOT ME IN THE FOOT THEN.
[]
KILL THE PINKERTON
AND THE DRIVER.
LEAVE THE WOMAN FOR ME.
[]
[DISTANT GUNSHOTS]
[THUNDERING HOOFBEATS
AND GUNSHOTS]
[TRADING GUNFIRE]
[SHOTS BLASTING]
[RIFLE BLASTING]
I'M SORRY,
I'M SO SORRY...
[SHACKLES RATTLING]
[GASPING IN FEAR]
DON'T SHOOT!
DON'T SHOOT!
[KEY RATTLING IN SHACKLE]
DON'T SHOOT.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES.
THANKS TO YOU.
I'M AFRAID I CAN'T SAY THE SAME
FOR YOUR COMPANION.
MA'AM, WHA ARE YOU DOING
TRAVELING
WITH A PINKERTON?
MY FATHER HIRED HIM
TO ESCORT ME
TO FORT COLLINS.
I'M LUCY TRUFFAULT.
JOHN GOODNIGHT.
I WAS OUT WES BUYING SPECULATIVE LAND
FOR MY FATHER'S MINING COMPANY.
SUPERIOR MINES OF PENNSYLVANIA?
DUE TO
OUR FAMILY WEALTH,
HE THOUGHT I MIGHT BE
A TARGET FIR KIDNAPPING...
ARE YOU ROBBING HIM?
I WOULDN'T BLAME YOU
IF YOU WERE.
I'M NOT ROBBING HIM.
WELL...
IT'S GOING TO GET LATE,
AND I THINK I'D BETTER
BE ON MY WAY.
I CAN GET YOU
AS FAR AS THE NEXT TOWN.
OH, NO, THANK YOU.
YOU'VE DONE
QUITE ENOUGH ALREADY.
I'M JUST GOING TO TAKE
ONE OF THEIR HORSES.
THERE WERE
FOUR SHOOTERS, MA'AM.
I ONLY GOT TWO OF THEM.
I'M SURE
THEY'RE LONG GONE BY NOW.
I'LL BE FINE.
GIVEN THE STATE
OF YOUR LAST ESCORT,
I PROBABLY SHOULD
LET YOU RIDE ON ALONE,
BUT I'M AFRAID
I CAN'T DO THAT.
WELL...
IT'S VERY RARE TO MEE A REAL GENTLEMAN OUT HERE.
I'M NOT SURE YOU HAVE YET.
WHERE ARE YOU FROM,
MR. GOODNIGHT?
CHICAGO.
THAT'S A LONG RIDE.
THERE'VE BEEN A FEW STOPS
ALONG THE WAY.
YOU SHOO LIKE A LAWMAN,
OR AN OUTLAW.
YOU EITHER ONE?
NOPE.
I ADMIT THAT'S
A BIT OF A RELIEF.
WHAT, THA I'M NOT AN OUTLAW--
OR A LAWMAN?
WELL, LAWMEN
HAVE TOO MANY RULES,
AND OUTLAWS HAVE NONE.
I LIKE TO LIVE
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE.
INTERESTING THOUGHTS
FOR A WOMAN OF PRIVILEGE.
ARE YOU ACCUSTOMED TO
MANY WOMEN OF PRIVILEGE?
NONE THAT DRESS
LIKE THAT.
PURELY A BUSINESS
DECISION.
MOST LANDOWNERS,
BEING MEN,
ARE MORE INCLINED TO
GIVE ME A GOOD PRICE
WHEN I WEAR THIS DRESS.
WE'RE THAT PREDICTABLE,
ARE WE?
SADLY, YES.
I NOTICE YOU DON'T HAVE
MANY SUITCASES.
YOU TRAVELING LIGHT?
WELL, MY BAGS MUST HAVE
FALLEN OFF DURING THE ATTACK.
WELL, I HAVE A BLANKE IF YOU GET COLD.
THANK YOU.
[]
HOW LONG HAVE I
BEEN ASLEEP?
SEE THAT BALL
IN THE SKY?
THAT'S THE SUN.
YOU RODE ALL NIGHT?
YUP.
SORRY I WASN' BETTER COMPANY.
I'VE HAD WORSE.
REALLY?
YUP, I ONCE HAULED
A DEAD BODY
ALL THE WAY
FROM LAREDO TO LARAMIE.
I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO THANK YOU.
WOULD YOU
ACCEPT A REWARD?
YOUR COMPANY
IS REWARD ENOUGH.
[CHUCKLES COYLY]
WHOA...
I'M VERY GRATEFUL.
MAYBE... I HOPE TO
SEE YOU AGAIN SOME TIME.
WELL, WHAT ABOU RIGHT NOW?
YOU CAN GO WITH ME
INTO THAT SHERIFF'S
OFFICE RIGHT THERE.
OH, WELL, AS DELIGHTFUL
AS THAT SOUNDS,
WHATEVER FOR?
BECAUSE YOU'RE THE WITNESS
TO TWO MURDERS.
OH, WELL, I REALLY
DIDN'T SEE MUCH,
ALL DUCKED DOWN
INSIDE AS I WAS--
SHERIFF!
BUT ABSOLUTELY,
IF I CAN HELP...
[GROANING WEARILY]
JOHN GOODNIGHT.
THIS IS MISS TRUFFAULT.
HI, SHERIFF.
UM, HAVE WE MET BEFORE?
SURELY, I'D
REMEMBER THAT, MA'AM.
HER COACH WAS AMBUSHED
SOME 50 MILES OU ON THE MORMON TRAIL
WHEN I HAPPENED BY.
THEY KILLED THE DRIVER
OF THAT STAGE
AND THE PINKERTON
WHO WAS ESCORTING HER.
HIRED BY HER FATHER.
HE'S A BUSINESSMAN.
IT'S SUPERIOR MINES
OF PENNSYLVANIA, RIGHT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
THE PINKERTON WAS
SUPPOSED TO ESCORT HER
TO FORT COLLINS.
AND THE ATTACKERS?
TWO RODE OFF.
TWO DEAD--
HIRED GUNS
FROM THE LOOKS OF IT.
WELL-ARMED AND WELL-PAID.
THIS IS FOR THE RELATIVES
AND THE NEXT OF KIN.
OF THE TWO
THAT RODE OFF,
ONE OF THEM WAS AN APACHE--
FIGURED HIM FOR A TRACKER.
THE OTHER ONE
SEEMED TO BE IN CHARGE--
ALTHOUGH MISS TRUFFAUL MAY HAVE SOME
ALTERNATE THEORIES?
WELL, I DON'T GENERALLY
ACQUAINT MYSELF
WITH KIDNAPPERS AND MURDERERS.
OF COURSE NOT.
I'LL WIRE
THE PINKERTON OFFICE
AND LET THEM KNOW.
OH.
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'LL TAKE
BEFORE THEY GET BACK?
HARD TO SAY.
COULD BE A DAY OR MORE.
BIG STORM BACK EAST'S
BEEN KNOCKING DOWN
THE WIRES.
RIGHT.
WELL, IF THERE'S NOTHING MORE
I CAN ADD,
I'D LIKE TO BUY A FEW DRESSES,
REPLACE WHAT I'VE LOST.
YOU DO THAT.
WE'RE GONNA BE
DISCUSSING
SOME UGLY
PARTICULARS NOW.
WE WOULDN'T WAN TO OFFEND YOUR, UH...
YOUR DELICATE
SENSIBILITIES.
NO...
NO, NO, WE WOULDN' WANT TO DO THAT.
[CLEARS THROAT]
WHOEVER KILLED THAT PINKERTON
DID IT WITH A LONG RIFLE,
AND THEY WERE A HELL OF A SHOT.
FROM THE SADDLE, 100 YARDS,
STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART?
NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE
CAN SHOOT LIKE THAT.
I'LL PUT WORD OUT.
ALL RIGHT, HIS BODY
AND THE DRIVER'S
ARE IN THE BACK
OF THAT COACH.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THEM.
GOT YOUR DOCKE HERE, JUDGE.
I APPRECIATE IT.
[]
WHEN'S THE NEXT STAGE IN?
UM, WHERE YOU HEADED?
ANYWHERE.
EXCEPT CHEYENNE.
SPRINGFIELD LINE'S DUE IN
DAY AFTER TOMORROW.
THAT IS,
IF IT GETS HERE ON TIME.
NOTHING SOONER?
[CLEARS THROAT]
N-NO, MA'AM.
I COULDN'T HELP
BUT NOTICING
YOU'RE, UH, YOU'RE
WEARING THE SAME DRESS.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN
WOMEN'S CLOTHES,
MR. GOODNIGHT?
ON AND OFF.
MOSTLY OFF, I EXPECT.
THAT'S QUITE A LARGE
PLATE OF FOOD
FOR JUST ONE PERSON.
I GUESS I WORKED UP
AN APPETITE
SAVING YOUR LIFE.
YOU KNOW, I NOTICED
YOU WERE A LITTLE ANXIOUS
TO GET OUT OF
THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
I JUST DIDN'T LIKE
HOW HE WAS LOOKING AT ME.
MY GUESS IS
HE DOESN'T SEE A LOT OF WOMEN
WHO LOOK LIKE YOU.
WELL, HOW DO I LOOK?
WELL, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
IT'S A LITTLE PAINFUL
TO LOOK AT YOU.
OH.
LIKE LOOKING INTO THE SUN.
OH, IT'S MUCH WORSE.
THERE'S A TELEGRAPH OFFICE
ACROSS THE WAY
IF YOU WANT TO
WIRE YOUR FATHER.
I DON'T THINK
I WANT TO WORRY HIM.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GE TO FORT COLLINS?
WELL, AFTER YESTERDAY,
FORT COLLINS
HAS LOST ITS APPEAL.
I'VE DECIDED I'D TAKE A TRAIN,
HEAD BACK EAST.
WELL, THE NEAREST RAIL,
THAT'S...
THAT'S CODY.
200 MILES RIGHT THROUGH
INDIAN TERRITORY.
I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU'RE HEADED
IN THAT DIRECTION.
I HADN' PLANNED ON IT.
WELL, I'D MAKE I WORTH YOUR WHILE.
HOW SO?
OH.
MONEY.
OH, YOU DON'T LIKE MONEY?
ON THE CONTRARY,
IT'S, UH, IT'S HIGH ON MY LIST.
HMM.
WELL, WHATEVER ELSE IS
HIGH ON YOUR LIST,
MONEY'S ALL I'M OFFERING.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
I'VE GOT A LITTLE BUSINESS
TO CONDUCT HERE,
AND WHEN I'M DONE,
I'D LIKE TO HAVE A DRINK,
THEN A GAME OF CARDS,
THEN A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP,
PREFERABLY ON A BED.
GOOD, WE CAN LEAVE
IN THE MORNING.
YOU'RE PRETTY USED TO
GETTING EVERYTHING YOU WANT,
AREN'T YOU?
NOT ANY MORE
THAN YOU ARE, I EXPECT.
HMM.
WELL, I DO HATE
TO CUT THIS SHORT,
BUT I HAVE TO BE SOMEWHERE.
MISS TRUFFAULT.
OH, I HAVE NO OBJECTIONS
TO YOU CALLING ME LUCY.
GLAD TO KNOW IT.
BETTER NOT.
DON'T WANT TO
WAKE ANYBODY UP IN THERE.
[CROWD CHUCKLES]
WILL THIS COUR NOW COME TO ORDER?
JUDGE JOHN WILLIAM GOODNIGH PRESIDING...
LUCY.
WOULD YOU, UH,
LIKE TO JOIN US?
OH, PERHAPS
ANOTHER TIME, YOUR HONOR.
YOU HAVE SOMEPLACE
BETTER TO BE?
WELL, WHY NOT?
I AM QUITE INTERESTED IN
THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
YES, I THOUGH YOU MIGHT BE.
I GOT THAT WIRE OU TO THE PINKERTONS.
SHOULDN'T BE LONG NOW.
WONDERFUL.
GENTLEMAN AND LADIES
OF THIS COURT,
OCTOBER 31, 1847.
THAT IS THE DAY I WAS BORN,
NOT YESTERDAY.
SO, KEEP THAT IN MIND
WHILE TRYING NOT TO
PERJURE YOURSELVES.
FIRST UP,
TAYLOR VERSUS KEMPNER.
GENTLEMEN, WHAT SEEMS
TO BE THE PROBLEM?
MR. TAYLOR
BOUGHT A GUN FROM ME,
AND HE OWES ME $57.
THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY
FOR A GUN.
WHAT IS IT, GOLD-PLATED?
IT JUST CAME
ON THE MARKET, YOUR HONOR.
IT'S A DOUBLE ACTION,
SELF-COCKING PIECE.
FIRES TWICE AS FAS AS THAT OLD PERCUSSION CAP
PISTOL YOU HAVE THERE,
AND IT USES
A HIGH-VELOCITY CARTRIDGE
THAT'LL BURN EVEN WHEN WET.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT GUN
WILL FIRE IN THE RAIN?
HELL, YOU CAN FIRE I IN A BATHTUB.
WELL, MR. KEMPNER,
MY BATHS AREN'T USUALLY
THAT EXCITING.
[LAUGHTER]
BEFORE I ASK YOU
WHY YOU DIDN'T PAY HIM,
I'D LIKE TO SEE
THE GUN IN QUESTION, PLEASE.
THIS IS A VERY NICE GUN.
DO YOU ALWAYS TAKE
EVIDENCE FROM YOUR CASES?
TAKE?
I PAID $62 FOR
THIS ITEM RIGHT HERE.
YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME
YOU WERE A JUDGE.
I COULD HAVE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU?
ONCE PEOPLE FIND OUT,
THEY ACT DIFFERENT.
THEY TRY TO HIDE THINGS.
I JUST LIKE TO HAVE
A NORMAL CONVERSATION
ONCE IN A WHILE.
OH, SO YOU THINK I HAVE
SOMETHING TO HIDE?
EVERYBODY DOES.
IT MUST BE
A STRANGE FEELING,
DECIDING PEOPLE'S FATES.
PEOPLE DECIDE
THEIR OWN FATES MOSTLY.
BUT YOU HAVE THE POWER
TO PUT THEM AWAY.
I ALSO HAVE THE POWER
TO SET 'EM FREE.
WHICH DO YOU PREFER?
I COULD MAKE A MISTAKE
EITHER WAY,
ALTHOUGH IT'S HARDER TO UNDO
HANGING A MAN.
I THINK I'LL TURN IN
FOR THE NIGHT.
I HAVE A ROOM UPSTAIRS.
[CHUCKLES]
I HAVE MY OF OWN ROOM,
THANK YOU.
I'M SURE YOU DO.
I WAS JUS TRYING TO BE POLITE.
WELL, YOU ARE THAT.
CAN I WALK YOU
TO YOUR ROOM THEN?
THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY.
I'LL SEE YOU
IN THE MORNING THEN.
[]
WHAT'LL IT BE?
[HASTY KNOCK ON DOOR]
[COCKING GUN]
WHO IS IT?
[LUCY, QUIETLY]
IT'S ME.
CHANGE YOUR MIND?
THERE WAS A RA IN MY ROOM.
OOH, I HATE RATS.
I THINK I'D JUST FEEL BETTER
IF I STAYED
HERE WITH YOU TONIGHT.
OH, I KNOW I'D FEEL BETTER.
DID YOU GET YOUR WHISKEY
AND POKER GAME?
WHISKEY, YES.
POKER, NO.
AH.
THAT'S A SMALL BED.
HMM.
[SIGHING]
[]
ARE YOU COMFORTABLE?
OH, VERY.
GOOD.
[THUMPS HEAD]
WHERE YOU GOING?
I AM GOING OUT.
OUT WHERE?
OUT THERE.
ARE YOU COMING BACK?
OF COURSE, I'M COMING BACK.
I LEFT MY HAT, DIDN'T I?
[SLAMS DOOR]
[]
THE QUESTION IS,
IS LADY LUCK
GOING TO BE ON YOUR ARM,
OR ON MY ARM TONIGHT, FRIEND.
SHE CAN BE A FICKLE LADY,
CAN'T SHE?
LET'S SEE THIS DEED.
160 ACRES OF DIRT.
LUCKY ME.
GAME'S OVER,
GENTLEMEN.
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.
WHOA, WHOA,
YOU CAN'T STOP NOW.
YOU GOTTA GIVE US A CHANCE
TO WIN THAT BACK--
YOU WAN THAT LAND BACK?
I CAN ARRANGE
TO HAVE YOU BURIED ON IT.
FRENCH CROOK, RIGHT?
YEAH, I USED TO SMOKE THOSE.
FINALLY, SOMEONE CIVILIZED.
WELL, I WOULDN' GO THAT FAR.
YOU MIND
IF I PULL UP A SEAT?
WELL, IF IT SUITS YOU.
CYRIL KNOX.
A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU,
MR. KNOX.
JOHN GOODNIGHT.
IT'S COLONEL KNOX.
YOU LIKE GAMES OF CHANCE,
MR. GOODNIGHT?
WELL, THAT DEPENDS.
HOUSE RULES OR YOUR RULES?
HEY, IF YOU'RE WINNING,
FEEL FREE TO WALK AWAY.
HOW ABOU IF YOU'RE WINNING?
OH, I WILL BE.
CAVALRY, COLONEL?
INDEED.
YOU'RE NOT IN UNIFORM.
NO, I'M NO LONGER
ON ACTIVE DUTY.
YOU'RE NOT A, UH...
DESERTER, ARE YOU?
NO.
I'M JUST PURSUING
MORE PROFITABLE INTERESTS.
600...
NOT MUCH PROFI IN SERVING ONE'S COUNTRY,
UNLESS YOU, UH, COUNT HONOR.
HERE'S TO YOUR HONOR.
NO ONE HAS TOASTED MY HONOR
IN A VERY LONG TIME.
MINE EITHER.
DID YOU SERVE?
REGRETFULLY, UH, NO.
I SPENT SEVEN YEARS SERVICE
FIGHTING SAVAGES.
I DID WHAT WAS REQUIRED,
WHAT WAS NEEDED,
BUT CERTAIN ACTIONS
THAT WERE HERALDED
DURING THE WARS
HAVE FALLEN OUT OF FAVOR.
WELL, I WOULD SAY,
DEPENDING UPON WHAT ACTIONS
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT,
I'D SAY YOU GOT OFF LUCKY.
HOW'S THAT?
GROUNDS FOR DISMISSAL
IN THE MILITARY,
THAT MIGHT GET YOU HUNG
IN A CIVILIAN COURT.
ARE YOU A LAWYER?
I DON'T LIKE LAWYERS.
[GOODNIGHT CHUCKLES]
ME NEITHER.
THAT'S WHY I BECAME A JUDGE.
[CHUCKLES IN WONDER]
I NEVER BEAT A JUDGE
IN CARDS BEFORE.
YOU EVER LOSE TO ONE?
[CHUCKLING]
DO YOU BELIEVE IN LUCK, JUDGE?
I DO.
HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPLAIN
THE SUCCESS
OF THOSE YOU DISLIKE?
I DON'T.
I'M ALL IN.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
I'LL SEE THAT...
AND RAISE YOU.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
YOU THROW IN
ONE OF THOSE CIGARS,
AND THAT DEED RIGHT THERE,
WE'LL CALL IT EVEN.
COMIN' AT YA, JUDGE.
THREE KINGS.
WOW...
BEATEN BY A STRAIGHT.
AH...
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
I THINK I'M GOING TO
HAVE TO GET GOING.
I HAVE GOT ME A DATE UPSTAIRS
WITH A HARD FLOOR.
[COCKING GUN]
YOU DID SAY THAT I COULD
WALK AWAY IF I WAS UP.
I CHANGED MY MIND.
YOU GOING TO SHOOT A JUDGE?
I'M THINKING ABOUT IT.
WELL, WHILE YOU'RE THINKING
ABOUT THAT,
WHY DON'T YOU THINK ABOUT THIS--
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE
THAT DON'T LIKE YOU ALREADY.
YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
YOU'RE LIABLE TO GO TO JAIL
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
I HOPE WE GE TO PLAY AGAIN SOMETIME.
I HOPE NOT.
HEY...
TAKE THIS HOME,
YOU PUT IT UNDER YOUR MATTRESS,
AND YOU DON'T BRING I TO TOWN AGAIN.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
MY FATHER WAS A DIRT-FARMER
JUST LIKE YOU.
HE DIDN'T MAKE IT,
AND YOU WON'T EITHER,
IF YOU KEEP GAMBLING
YOUR STAKE AWAY LIKE THAT.
YOU GOT A WIFE AND KIDS?
YEAH.
WELL, THEY DESERVE
BETTER THAN THAT.
YOU GET HOME TO 'EM.
THANK YOU, SIR.
BLESS YOU, SIR.
[RIFLE COCKING]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IT'S THE APACHE
FROM YESTERDAY.
WHY IS HE GOING
TO SEE THE SHERIFF?
IT SEEMS STRANGE
TO FOLLOW SOMEONE
SO FAR, SO LONG.
IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE
KIDNAPPING.
WHAT DOES I FEEL LIKE?
PERSONAL.
I DON'T TRUST THAT SHERIFF.
MAYBE I DON' EITHER ANYMORE.
COME ON.
[SPLUTTERING
AND GASPING FOR AIR]
WELL, YOU SURE TOOK YOUR TIME.
YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.
BARELY.
WE ARE WELL OFF
THE BEATEN TRACK.
APACHE TRACKER.
RIGHT.
WHERE DID YOU GE THAT FANCY CIGAR?
I WON IT LAST NIGH OFF A BAD MAN
WITH A NASTY SCAR.
WHAT, YOU DON' LIKE CIGARS?
HOW INSIGHTFUL.
YEAH...
YEAH, SEEMS LIKE I'VE GO A LOT OF INSIGHT THESE DAYS.
NOT SLEEPING
WILL DO THAT TO YOU.
DO SHARE YOUR MUSINGS.
ALL RIGHT,
WELL, SINCE
YOU ASKED,
I'M BEGINNING
TO THINK
THERE IS NO SUPERIOR MINES
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
[CHUCKLES]
YOU DO HAVE
A SUSPICIOUS NATURE.
WHY DID YOU COME
TO MY ROOM LAST NIGHT?
I TOLD YOU,
THERE WAS A RAT IN MY ROOM.
SO, WHAT,
I'M THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS?
OR PERHAPS
I JUST WANTED TO SHARE
IN THE PLEASURE
OF YOUR COMPANY.
YEAH, IF THA WERE THE CASE,
I WOULDN'T BE SLEEPING
ON THE FLOOR.
[CHUCKLES]
SORRY, I DIDN'T REALIZE
I WAS ON THE WITNESS STAND.
THOSE MEN
WHO ATTACKED THAT STAGECOACH,
THEY WERE
IN TOWN LAST NIGHT.
AND I GOT A FEELING
THAT YOU KNOW
EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE.
REALLY? THEN
WHY WOULDN'T I TURN THEM IN?
I'VE BEEN ASKING MYSELF
THAT VERY SAME QUESTION.
SUPERIOR MINES OF PENNSYLVANIA
WAS FOUNDED IN 1831
BY NATHAN TRUFFAULT.
IT PRODUCES OVER
300 METRIC TONS OF COAL
PER YEAR.
IT WAS TAKEN OVER BY MY FATHER,
NATHAN TRUFFAULT II, IN 1864.
WELL, THAT IS
AN IMPRESSIVE LIST OF FACTS,
SO AT LEAST WE KNOW
YOU'VE GOT A GOOD MEMORY.
WELL, NOT AS GOOD AS
YOUR IMAGINATION.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
WHEN I'M SAFELY BACK HOME
IN PHILADELPHIA,
I WILL SEND YOU A LETTER
ON COMPANY STATIONERY.
I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.
GO.
[CLUCKING TO HORSE]
[]
LET'S STOP HERE.
WE'LL CAMP HERE
FOR THE NIGHT.
YOU RIDE LIKE
YOU'VE BEEN IN THE SADDLE
FOR A LONG TIME,
MISS TRUFFAULT.
WELL, THE WES IS A BIG PLACE, JUDGE.
WHEN YOU'RE BUYING LAND,
YOU'RE HARD PRESSED
TO FIND A GOOD PRICE
NEXT TO A RAIL LINE.
BEING A WOMAN OUT HERE,
ALL BY YOUR OWN...
I'VE BEEN KNOWN
TO FIND COMFOR IN THE ARMS OF
A STRANGER--
AS I'M SURE YOU HAVE,
MR. GOODNIGHT.
I'M A CIRCUIT JUDGE.
ALL I DO IS RIDE
FROM TOWN TO TOWN.
STRANGERS IS ALL I EVER MEET.
I MYSELF DON'T TEND
TO STAY IN ANY ONE PLACE
FOR TOO LONG.
YOU MUST BE THE SAME, I EXPECT,
TO CHOOSE A LIFE LIKE THIS.
I DIDN'T CHOOSE IT.
[CHUCKLES]
SO YOU DIDN'T MAKE
YOUR WAY OUT WES TO BRING JUSTICE
TO THE GREAT UNTAMED?
NO, I CAME OUT HERE
LOOKING FOR REVENGE.
DID YOU GET IT?
I'M NOT SURE.
HOW DID IT FEEL?
NOT LIKE I THOUGHT IT WOULD.
THEN MIGHT I ASK
WHY YOU HAVEN' RETURNED TO CHICAGO?
JUST SOME OF
THE PLACES I'VE BEEN,
THINGS I'VE SEEN,
THAT CHANGES YOU.
WELL, MAYBE ONE DAY,
YOU'LL FIND THE RIGHT WOMAN
AND SETTLE DOWN.
DON'T BE
THINKING IT'S ME,
'CAUSE IT'S NOT.
POINT TAKEN.
[]
[GUNS COCKING]
I JUST WANT THE GIRL.
WHY?
HE'LL KILL ME IF I SAY.
I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T.
[RIFLE BLASTS]
[RIFLE BLASTING]
[TRADING GUNFIRE]
FIRE IN HIS DIRECTION.
DON'T SHOOT ME.
[TRADING GUNFIRE]
[SHOTS BLASTING]
RIDE!
[GUNFIRE BLASTING]
WE'RE SITTING DUCKS
OUT IN THE OPEN
FOR THAT LONG RIFLE.
IF WE CAN MAKE I TO THIS RAVINE UP HERE,
AT LEAS WE'LL HAVE A CHANCE.
GO!
[SHOTS BLASTING]
[BULLETS WHIZ AND PING]
[BULLETS CRACK AND RICOCHET]
[SHOTS BLASTING]
WE'RE OUT OF REAL ESTATE.
WE COULD JUMP.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WELL, HE'S NO GOING TO FOLLOW US.
WOULD YOU MAKE THAT JUMP
IF YOU WEREN'T GETTING SHOT AT?
WELL, I AM GETTING SHOT AT,
AND THERE'S NO WAY
I'M GOING TO MAKE IT--
NO!
[SCREAMING]
THAT'S COLD!
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE I TO THAT BOAT!
[STEAMBOAT CHUGGING]
YOU DIDN'T EVEN ASK ME
IF I COULD SWIM.
I DIDN'T REALLY THINK
IT WAS GONNA MATTER.
I THOUGHT THE FALL
WAS GONNA KILL US.
NORMALLY, WE DON' TAKE ON PASSENGERS
BETWEEN PORTS,
BUT, IN THIS CASE,
WE'LL BE GLAD TO ACCOMMODATE
YOU, YOUR HONOR.
WELL, I APPRECIATE IT.
WILL YOU
AND MRS. GOODNIGH BE WANTING
A FIRST-CLASS CABIN?
OH, UH, TWO
FIRST-CLASS CABINS,
OR THE BEST YOU HAVE.
I PREFER ONE CABIN.
I BET YOU WOULD.
IT'S FOR SAFETY.
WELL, I'LL TAKE
MY CHANCES.
DON'T COME KNOCKING
ON MY DOOR
IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGH COMPLAINING ABOUT RATS.
CAPTAIN, ARE THERE RATS
ABOARD THIS SHIP, SIR?
I'M AFRAID SO, MA'AM.
MOST OF THEM
WEARING FANCY CLOTHES.
CAPTAIN, WHEN DOES
THIS BOAT DOCK IN CODY?
ABOUT 12:00 TOMORROW.
WE'VE A FEW STOPS
IN BETWEEN,
BUT SHE MAKES
PRETTY GOOD TIME.
I'M HOPING YOU HAVE
A CASINO ON BOARD, SIR?
OPEN ALL NIGHT.
[]
[INSISTENT POUNDING ON DOOR]
GO AWAY!
UH, SORRY, SIR,
IT'S THE CAPTAIN.
I'M SORRY
TO INTERRUPT.
[SIGHING]
OKAY.
THIS COUR IS IN NOW SESSION.
THE HONORABLE
JOHN WILLIAM GOODNIGH PRESIDING.
THIS BETTER BE GOOD.
YOU GOT ME OUT OF
THE FIRST HOT BATH I'VE HAD
IN ALMOST A WEEK.
ALL RIGHT,
WHO DID WHAT TO WHO?
I FOUND THIS MAN IN MY ROOM.
WELL, IT WAS
AN HONEST MISTAKE.
SEE, I HAD A LITTLE
TOO MUCH TO DRINK
AND I OPENED
THE WRONG DOOR.
WAS IT A MISTAKE THA YOUR HAND WAS IN MY SUITCASE?
I THOUGHT IT WAS MINE.
ANYTHING MISSING
FROM YOUR ROOM, MA'AM?
A DIAMOND BROOCH.
I ASSUME, CAPTAIN,
THAT YOU'VE SEARCHED
HIS PERSON AND HIS CABIN?
YES.
WE DIDN'T FIND A BROOCH.
WE FOUND THIS.
DO YOU WEAR
WOMEN'S JEWELRY, SIR?
I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT.
ARE YOU MARRIED?
NOT YET.
YOU A PIRATE?
OF COURSE NOT.
THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH A WOMAN'S RING
AND EARRINGS?
WELL, THEY'RE A GIFT.
IT'S MY MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY.
YOU'RE VERY GENEROUS.
WELL, I LIKE TO THINK SO.
I'M READY TO RULE.
I'VE BEEN DRUNK
A FEW TIMES,
SO IT'S NO DIFFICULT FOR ME
TO ENVISION
A CIRCUMSTANCE
WHERE ALCOHOL
COULD CAUSE A MAN
TO CONFUSE A ROOM,
OR EVEN A SUITCASE,
FOR HIS OWN.
THANK YOU, JUDGE.
BUT I HAVE
NEVER MET A MAN,
DRUNK OR SOBER,
WHO WOULD BUY DIAMONDS
LIKE THA FOR HIS MOTHER.
LET ME SEE THAT CANE.
YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING.
OH, YES,
IT PLEASES THE COURT.
PRODUCE THE CANE.
THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.
[RATTLING]
[UNSCREWING CANE HANDLE]
OH...
YOUR MOTHER
IS A VERY LUCKY WOMAN.
-I CAN EXPLAIN.
-NO NEED.
HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT COLD WATER?
I PREFER WHISKEY.
YEAH, SO DO I.
UNDER THE MARITIME LAW
OF THE TERRITORY OF WYOMING,
I FIND YOU GUILTY.
CAPTAIN, PLEASE ESCOR THE PASSENGER
OVERBOARD.
OVERBOARD?
WELL, GENTLEMEN,
LET'S NOT GET CARRIED AWAY.
NOW, PUT ME DOWN!
BE REASONABLE!
[THIEF SPLUTTERING
AND FUMING]
WHAT ARE YOU,
PIRATES?
THIS AIN'T RIGHT!
I GOT RIGHTS, YOU KNOW!
I'LL GET YOU!
[SCISSORS SNIP]
[BRISK KNOCKING]
YOU READY?
WELL, I SEE YOU GO THAT NEW DRESS.
I BOUGHT I FROM A WOMAN ONBOARD.
IT'S A LITTLE TIGH AROUND THE TOP.
YEAH, I NOTICED.
THAT LITTLE GUN
YOU HAVE
STRAPPED TO YOUR WAIST,
DID YOU GET THA FROM THE SAME WOMAN?
THE CAPTAIN.
HE'S AN ACCOMMODATING FELLOW.
WELL, I THINK THE $20 HELPED.
WHO SHOT YOU?
WHAT?
I KNOW WHAT A GUNSHOT WOUND
LOOKS LIKE.
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO TALK ABOUT IT?
I'D RATHER NOT.
ALL RIGHT,
IT WAS MY FATHER.
THE ESTEEMED
NATHAN TRUFFAULT.
AFTER MY MOTHER DIED,
HE TOOK TO BEATING ME.
WHEN I WAS 13,
I TRIED TO RUN AWAY,
AND HE STOPPED ME
WITH A BULLET,
THUS THE SCAR.
I'M SORRY.
WELL, I RECOVERED.
AND WHEN I DID,
I OPENED HIS SAFE,
TOOK EVERYTHING IN IT AND RAN.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE.
HE MAY BE DEAD,
FOR ALL I KNOW,
BUT...
I CAN ONLY HOPE.
IS THAT WHERE YOU GO YOUR MONEY FROM?
[SIGHS HEAVILY]
NO, THAT RAN OUT YEARS AGO.
NOW...
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW?
YES.
HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR STEAK?
IN A BOTTLE.
NO ICE, NO GLASS.
[LAUGHING AND BUSTLING CROWD]
[]
IS THIS SEAT FREE?
MONEY PLAYS.
WELL...
IT'S THE QUEEN OF HEARTS.
OH, HOW KIND.
ARE YOU COMFORTABLE?
OH, QUITE.
THE PRETTY LADY DEALS.
OH!
WELL, UM...
IS FIVE CARD STUD
ALL RIGHT WITH EVERYONE?
MM,
IT'S BEEN GOOD TO ME ALL NIGHT.
[GIGGLES]
[SHUFFLING CARDS]
ONE, TWO, THREE... FOUR.
TEN BETS.
$20.
OKAY.
I WILL SEE YOUR $20
AND RAISE YOU...
[CLEARS THROAT]
YOU'RE RAISING 50 ON A SIX?
UM... YES.
[LAUGHING INDULGENTLY]
IS THAT ALL RIGHT?
MA'AM, YOU EVER PLAYED
THIS BEFORE?
OH, YES, MANY, MANY TIMES,
WITH MY AUNT JOSEPHINE.
OH.
YOUR AUNT JOSEPHINE.
WELL, I WOULD LOVE TO MEE YOUR AUNT JOSEPHINE.
WELL, I WISH YOU COULD,
BUT SHE IS
RECENTLY DEPARTED.
MY CONDOLENCES.
HOW DID SHE DIE?
PENNILESS WOULD BE MY GUESS.
[SQUEALS GIRLISHLY]
WELL, WOULD YOU LOOK A THAT LOVELY,
LOVELY PAIR.
I'M PRETTY SURE
THEY HAVE BEEN.
[CLEARING THROATS]
I'M GONNA SAY...
PUT IN... $100.
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
I SEE TWO SIXES.
NOT THREE?
NO.
WELL, YOU MUST HAVE
A PEACH OF A HAND.
IT'S GOING TO COST YOU...
$100 TO FIND OUT.
REALLY?
YOU IN OR OUT, SIR?
I'M OUT.
I'M OUT.
ALL RIGHT...
UM...
TWO TENS.
TWO TENS...
$200.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
I'LL SEE YOUR 200,
AND I'LL RAISE YOU ANOTHER 100.
I THINK YOU'RE BLUFFING.
AM I?
[WHISTLING NONCHALANTLY]
SHOULD WE BARE OUR SOULS?
TWO TENS,
AND TENS BEAT SIXES.
NOT THREE SIXES.
[OTHER PLAYERS
CHUCKLE IN DISBELIEF]
[LAUGHTER]
QUEEN OF HEARTS
TAKES THE POT!
[TIMID KNOCKING]
WHO IS IT?
ME.
SLIDE THE MONEY
UNDER THE DOOR.
CAN I HAVE A WORD?
RATS AGAIN?
YOU WERE THE ONE THA WANTED TO SHARE A ROOM.
THAT'S BACK WHEN
I HAD $400.
NOW I DON'T.
I CAME HERE TO APOLOGIZE.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE
CLEANED YOU OUT LIKE THAT.
I HOPE IT WASN' TOO PAINFUL.
IT WAS.
WHY,
BECAUSE I'M A BETTER
CARD PLAYER THAN YOU?
YOUR APOLOGY NEEDS
A LITTLE WORK.
I'LL GIVE YOU
A CHANCE TO WIN IT BACK.
I GOT NOTHING LEFT,
EXCEPT MY CLOTHES.
YOU DON'T WANT THOSE.
MAYBE I DO.
I KNOW YOU DON' TRUST ME.
I KNOW YOU'RE MAD.
I KNOW YOU THINK I'M A LIAR
AND A CHEAT.
BUT, UH, MAYBE YOU COULD
FORGET ALL THAT FOR ONE NIGHT.
PROBABLY NOT.
I MIGHT BE
WILLING TO TRY, THOUGH.
[]
I FEEL SAFE WITH YOU.
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER
SAID THAT TO A MAN BEFORE.
I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE "SAFE"
WAS WHAT I WAS GOING FOR.
[CHUCKLES]
I MAY HAVE MISJUDGED
OUR SITUATION EARLIER.
MAYBE I COULD BE
THE RIGHT GIRL FOR YOU.
OH?
WELL, WE ARE
QUITE COMPANIONABLE,
AND...
I COULD KIND OF ENVISION US
SETTLING DOWN SOMEWHERE.
MAYBE GETTING A HOUSE...
AND A GARDEN.
I'M SICK OF HOTELS.
SOMEWHERE LIKE...
NEW ORLEANS, OR...
ATLANTA.
YOU'RE BLUFFING.
WHAT...
AM I SCARING YOU?
SORT OF.
WELL... LIFE IS SHORT.
IT CAN BE LONG, TOO.
[SIGHS PEACEFULLY]
CAN I ASK YOU
SOMETHING?
I WISH YOU WOULDN'T.
WHO'S KATE?
[SIGHS PAINFULLY]
I READ HER LETTER
WHEN I WAS GOING
THROUGH YOUR THINGS.
WHEN YOU WERE
GOING THROUGH MY THINGS?
I WAS CURIOUS.
THERE'S ANOTHER
NAME FOR IT.
SHE HAS LOVELY
HANDWRITING,
AND WORDS.
I KNOW IT'S NONE
OF MY BUSINESS,
BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKE
SHE STILL...
HAS FEELINGS FOR YOU,
FROM WHAT I READ.
SHE'S SOMEONE
I USED TO KNOW.
CAN'T WE JUS LEAVE IT AT THAT?
HMM.
[SIGHING]
ARE YOU UPSE SHE'S GETTING MARRIED?
NO.
WHY WOULD I BE UPSET?
BECAUSE YOU KEP HER LETTER.
SHE FOUND SOMEONE
THAT'LL BE THERE FOR HER.
SHE DESERVES THAT.
I'M SORRY.
[HEAVY BOOT STEPS OUTSIDE]
WHAT'S THAT SMELL?
THAT'S A BAD CIGAR.
JOHN...
JOHN.
TAKE THIS GUN,
AND YOU SHOOT ANYBODY
THAT COMES THROUGH
THAT CABIN DOOR.
EXCEPT ME.
I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE
FOLLOWING ME.
I'M NOT AFTER YOU.
SURE SHOT A LOT OF BULLETS
INTO ROCKS AND TREES
THIS MORNING.
I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR TRACKER.
WELL, JUST HAND OVER THE GIRL,
AND OUR BUSINESS IS DONE.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT SHE IS TO YOU,
BUT WE ARE FAR FROM DONE.
I KNOW YOU KILLED
THE PINKERTON
AND THE DRIVER.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE
WHAT YOU LAID WASTE TO
IN THAT CAVALRY.
THAT'S ACCUSATIONS
WITH NO PROOF.
I'VE GOT A SPENT SHELL
FROM THAT LONG RIFLE OF YOURS.
THAT'S ALL
THE PROOF I NEED.
I OUGHT TO PUT A BULLE IN YOU RIGHT NOW.
WHAT'S STOPPING YOU?
NOT MUCH.
WALK.
CAPTAIN,
TAKE THIS MURDERING
PIECE OF TRASH BELOW
AND LOCK HIM UP.
WHO IS HE?
HE'S A DISGRACE
TO THE MILITARY.
YEAH, YOU DIDN'T EVEN SERVE.
COWARD.
[BLOW THUDS, GROANS IN PAIN]
I'M SERVING NOW.
THAT'S FOR THE PINKERTON.
THAT'S FOR SHOOTING ME.
WHY NOT JUS KILL HIM RIGHT NOW?
HE'S GONNA HANG ANYWAY.
WELL, THAT'LL BE THE LAW
HANGIN' HIM.
IF I KILLED HIM RIGHT NOW,
IT'D JUST BE ME.
I TELL YOU SOMETHING, THOUGH,
THERE ARE TIMES
I WISH I WASN'T A JUDGE.
[MUTTERING]
THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
[CAPTAIN GROANS IN PAIN]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
[COCKING GUN]
[GOODNIGHT]: IT'S ME.
[UNCOCKS GUN]
WHAT HAPPENED?
YOUR KIDNAPPER,
HE'S LOCKED UP
UNTIL WE DOCK.
WELL, THAT'S
A BIG RELIEF.
YOU DON'T LOOK RELIEVED.
I JUST WISH
YOU'D KILLED HIM.
WHY?
BECAUSE DEAD MEN
DON'T TALK?
YOU'RE WANTED
IN THREE STATES.
FOUR IF YOU STAY HERE
ANY LONGER.
WERE YOU EVER
GOING TO TELL ME?
PROBABLY NOT.
A TRUTHFUL SENTENCE AT LAST.
I HAVE MY FAULTS.
HONESTY
IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
MY FATHER WAS THE FIRS TO PUT A BOUNTY OUT ON ME,
AND...
THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW SINCE.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO KNOX?
OH, I HURT HIM,
BUT NOT NEARLY BAD ENOUGH.
I LIED,
I TOOK SOME MONEY,
MADE SOME PROMISES
I DIDN'T KEEP.
HE'S A HATEFUL MAN
WHO'S DONE HATEFUL THINGS.
AND IF HE WAS
THE ONLY ONE YOU TOOK,
MAYBE I COULD LOOK
THE OTHER WAY.
THE WORLD'S FULL OF BAD MEN.
IT'S NOT FOR YOU TO DECIDE.
WHY, BECAUSE
I'M NOT A JUDGE?
IT'S HARD BEING A WOMAN ALONE.
THERE ARE VERY FEW WAYS
TO MAKE A FORTUNE.
NOT EVERYONE
NEEDS A FORTUNE TO LIVE.
WELL, I DO.
[SCOFFS IN WONDER]
YOU HAVE SOME UNUSUAL THOUGHTS.
[MEEKLY] PERHAPS.
BUT I NEVER DID BUSINESS
WITH ANYONE
WHO DIDN'T DESERVE IT.
AND YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO,
YOU CAN'T CON AN HONEST MAN.
CONNING A DISHONEST ONE
IS STILL AGAINST THE LAW.
WELL, I GUESS
THERE ARE WORSE THINGS.
THERE ALWAYS ARE.
[WOMAN SCREAMS IN HORROR]
JOHN, WAIT!
[GUNSHOT BLASTS]
GOODNIGHT,
WHERE'S THAT HARLOT?
[BULLETS RICOCHET]
[TRADING GUNFIRE]
[SHOUTING IN PROTEST]
IS THAT HOW YOU DO I IN THE CAVALRY,
HIDE BEHIND WOMEN?
LET HER GO NOW...
YOU THINK SHE'S SWEET ON YOU?
SHE TOLD ME SHE LOVED ME, TOO.
SHE SAID SHE WANTED TO
SETTLE DOWN TO ATLANTA,
START A FAMILY.
SHOOT HIM.
HE CAN'T,
SWEETHEART.
HE'S FOND OF YOU.
JOHN, I AM BEGGING YOU,
KILL HIM RIGHT NOW.
GO AHEAD
AND PULL THAT TRIGGER.
SHE'LL BE MY BRIDE IN HELL.
HE'S GOING TO
KILL ME ANYWAY, JOHN!
JUST SHOOT!
GO AHEAD,
TAKE YOUR SHOT,
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
ALL RIGHT.
THE GUN'S DOWN.
[CHUCKLES] FOOL.
[SHOTS BLASTING]
[BLOWS THUD HEAVILY]
[EMPTY GUN CLICKING]
[SHOT BLASTS]
[LUCY SCREAMS]
NO!
JOHN!
[PISTOL BUTT SMACKS]
NO-- [SCREAMS]
YOUR LUCK RAN OUT.
FATE FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO YOU.
[SHOTS BLAST]
[WINCING IN PAIN]
OUCH.
OH...
THAT'S THE BEST $62
I EVER SPENT.
OW.
[]
AM I IN HEAVEN
OR HELL?
NEITHER ONE YET.
THAT BULLE HIT THE PINKERTON'S BADGE
THAT WAS IN YOUR POCKET.
SAVED BY THE LAW.
I GUESS WE BOTH WERE.
HERE, THE DOCTOR SAID
YOU'VE GOT SOME
REAL BAD BRUISED RIBS.
THEY'RE GOING TO
HURT FOR A WHILE.
IT DOES.
KNOX IS DEAD.
THAT'S SOMETHING.
IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
I KNOW.
SO...
SHOULD I CALL YOU LUCY
OR ALICE?
WHICHEVER YOU PREFER.
I'LL STICK WITH LUCY.
YOU GOING TO TURN ME IN?
YOU HAVE REMORSE FOR YOUR ACTS?
NO.
YOU'RE NO HELPING YOUR CASE ANY.
YOU WANTED THE TRUTH.
I'M TIRED OF LYING.
ARE YOU TIRED OF RUNNING?
WELL...
I'VE BEEN AT IT A LONG TIME.
IT'S ALL I'VE KNOWN,
BUT, YEAH,
I AM TIRED.
THINGS COULD BE
DIFFERENT BETWEEN US.
I'D LIKE THAT.
IF YOU PAY YOUR DEB TO SOCIETY,
YOU GET A CLEAN SLATE.
OR YOU COULD JUST SAY
I GOT AWAY
AND WE COULD
MEET UP AGAIN LATER.
[CHUCKLES PAINFULLY]
I CAN'T SAY I'M NOT TEMPTED.
WELL...
WHY DON'T YOU SLEEP
ON THAT THOUGHT.
[GROANS]
WHAT WAS IN THAT WHISKEY?
LAUDANUM.
YOU DRUGGED ME?
THE DOCTOR SAID
IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOUR PAIN.
YOU JUST SLEEP NOW.
AND WHEN I WAKE UP,
YOU WON'T BE HERE, IS THAT IT?
SHH, JUST REST.
[GROANS GROGGILY]
[]
WHAT HAPPENED TO
YOUR OTHER DRESS?
I LIKED IT.
YEAH, BU THIS ONE'S MINE.
I KIND OF FIGURED YOU
FOR THE RIVER.
I CONSIDERED IT,
BUT THEN YOU'D HAVE TO
GO IN AFTER ME,
AND THAT WATER'S COLD.
ALWAYS THINKING OF OTHERS.
I WAS THINKING ABOU WHAT YOU SAID TO ME.
I'M TURNING MYSELF IN.
YOU SHOULD TELL ME THA THAT'S NOT A MISTAKE.
I CAN'T DO THAT,
BUT I DO KNOW A JUDGE
WHO MIGHT TAKE IT EASY ON YOU.
IS NOW A GOOD TIME?
NO, LET'S WAIT A BIT.
