00:00Here comes our transportation.
00:23We can board her when she stops for water.
00:25What about the brakeman?
00:26The last train I was on, one of them threw me off.
00:29You haven't been on the road very long, have you, kid?
00:31No, sir.
00:32You got any money?
00:33No.
00:34Here's two bucks.
00:35Give them to the brakey before you get aboard.
00:37Tell him one of them's for me.
00:38He'll let us ride.
00:40How come you're giving me a break?
00:43Look, kid, you want to get along on the road, you got to learn.
00:46Don't ask questions.
00:47What are you poking me for?
01:15You know you're not supposed to ride these trains.
01:20Now hit the cinders.
01:21Wait a minute.
01:22Didn't the kid give you the $2?
01:23Yeah, he gave it to me.
01:24Well, one of them was for me.
01:25Didn't he tell you that?
01:26So you're the one who put them up.
02:57Hello, pig.
03:08You just get off the train, Randall?
03:09Yeah.
03:10You're under arrest.
03:11You haven't changed very much, have you, pig?
03:12You're still ugly and your manners aren't very good.
03:13All right, boys, take them in.
03:14Easy with those shotguns.
03:15You tell me what I've done wrong, you can tell me right from where you're standing.
03:27For resisting a duly appointed officer of the law.
03:30I said you was under arrest, didn't I?
03:32You still haven't told me what for.
03:35Just for being on that train.
03:36They found a dead pink and detected down the track a ways.
03:40They wired ahead.
03:41We figured to find out who done it.
03:43It's got nothing to do with me.
03:46Now listen, pig, I was a paying customer on that train.
03:48I rode in a caboose all the way and I can prove it if I have to.
03:52All right, boys, leave them be.
03:53Let me go.
03:54Put your hands off me.
03:55I guess this must be the one you want, Sheriff.
03:56He's the only hobo on the train.
03:57I keep telling you that.
03:58I don't know what you're talking about.
03:59Last time I saw him, he was standing by the track near the Two Creek water tank.
04:00There was another fellow with him.
04:01Now, I didn't see him board the train, but the other fellow isn't with him now, so I
04:15guess he's the one they found back alongside the track.
04:17He's lying.
04:18I tell you, he's lying.
04:20Well, I guess you're the one we're looking for.
04:21Get your hands off me.
04:27This is no concern of yours, mister.
04:31Won't you ever cut down on me?
04:34All right, let's go.
04:49Hello, Pop.
04:50Hi.
04:51Still got my horse and saddle here?
04:52You left it here, didn't you?
04:53Well, that's quite a greedy.
04:54I've been gone for a month and you act like I just walked around the corner.
04:55Oh, the only time I know you, I don't figure I don't have to say I'm glad to see you.
04:56See, Pig got himself another prisoner.
04:57Looks kind of young.
04:58Well, he was old enough to take a swing at Pig down at the station.
04:59Eddie, Eddie.
05:00Eddie.
05:01Eddie.
05:02Eddie.
05:03Eddie.
05:04Eddie.
05:05Eddie.
05:06Eddie.
05:07Eddie.
05:08Eddie.
05:09Eddie.
05:10Eddie.
05:11Eddie.
05:12Eddie.
05:13Eddie.
05:14Eddie.
05:15Eddie.
05:16Eddie.
05:17Eddie.
05:18Eddie.
05:19Not enough to hurt him.
05:20That's too bad.
05:21What'd the kid do?
05:22Well, Pig says he killed a Pinkerton agent.
05:24Now, what did the boy want to go and do that for?
05:27Don't he know the Pinkertons posted a $200 reward for the arrest or conviction of anybody
05:30killing an agency man?
05:32You don't plan on collecting that money yourself, do you?
05:34Not me.
05:35Pig's doing all right at that.
05:39Is that right?
05:40This is four in seven months.
05:41What happened to the others?
05:43We hung them.
05:44Do you think they were guilty?
05:46The pig says they were.
05:49Your saddle's stacked inside.
05:51I'll put your horse out to pasture.
05:53How long will it take to bring him in?
05:55Oh, maybe an hour. We'll send somebody now.
05:58All right. Be back in an hour and pick up the horse.
06:01Where are you going?
06:03I think I'd like to talk to that boy.
06:15All right, boys. That's all for now. See you later.
06:18Okay, sir.
06:23All right, boys. Break it up. Come on. Let's go.
06:38What do you want?
06:40I'd like to see a prisoner.
06:43Your relative?
06:45Legal counsel.
06:48You bring your law degree with you?
06:51I don't need one.
06:53A boy's got a right to choose whoever he wants to defend him.
06:56Maybe, if he gets a chance.
07:00I want to see that boy, pig.
07:02Nope.
07:04Voters in this town ain't gonna like that pig.
07:06They won't like it a little.
07:08This ain't no concern of yours.
07:11Why don't you let him see the boy?
07:13Won't cost you anything.
07:15I said no.
07:17Under the law, you've got no right to stop him.
07:19What do you got to say about that?
07:28Mr. Blythe.
07:32You know, pig, I think that's why all the voters like you so much.
07:36It's your deep love for your fellow man.
07:42Sit down.
07:44Nobody's gonna hurt you.
07:46Who are you?
07:48My name's Randall.
07:50What's yours?
07:52Sim Cole.
07:54How old are you?
07:5618.
07:58Don't lie to me, boy. I'm not the law.
08:00What are you doing here?
08:02You might say I'm a friend.
08:04I haven't got any friends.
08:06You never know.
08:08You run away from home?
08:13You know, I did the same thing myself once.
08:17You're not gonna send me back.
08:19I can't send you anywhere.
08:21You're in jail.
08:23And you're charged with murder.
08:25No. I didn't kill anyone.
08:30Well, it might be that the sheriff's just fond of money
08:33and you've got a price tag on your head.
08:35What do you mean?
08:37Reward.
08:39You see, a lot of people have been coming west on freight trains.
08:41Now, they've been paying off the train crews instead of the railroad.
08:44Now, the company's got detectives riding on these trains
08:46with orders to pick up any trainman who accepts a bribe.
08:48That's what happened to me.
08:50You see, this man, he gave me $2,
08:52and he told me to give it to the branky.
08:54Then when...
08:55Easy. I want you to start at the beginning
08:57and tell me everything that happened to you
08:59from the time you left that water stop, yeah?
09:01Well, like I was telling you, see,
09:03we were waiting for this train to come along.
09:07He'll be gone for a few days.
09:09Be sure and take care of that boy, won't you?
09:11I'll take care of him till he hangs.
09:13Got a trial coming, pig.
09:15Well, forget it, fast.
09:17But if you're gonna be gone more than three days,
09:19don't bother to come back.
09:21Of course, there ain't gonna be anything here.
09:23Well, if he isn't, you will be, huh?
09:26You know, sometimes I don't understand you.
09:28You're a bounty hunter,
09:30and that's all Piggy is.
09:32He turns a man in for money.
09:34You want to make sure they hang the right man
09:36for personal pride, you know?
09:38The way he works, you better work fast.
09:40He meant that about the three days.
09:42Yeah.
09:43Who's the station agent here, do you know?
09:45I don't know.
09:46He's got a gun.
09:47He's got a gun.
09:48He's got a gun.
09:49He's got a gun.
09:50He's got a gun.
09:51He's got a gun.
09:52He's got a gun.
09:53He's got a gun.
09:54Who's the station agent here, do you know?
09:56Oh, it's Mark Crowe.
09:58Thanks.
09:59Listen, I'm gonna need my horse now.
10:00Hey, listen.
10:01You ever take advice, son?
10:03Eh, not often.
10:05I'll give you some anyway.
10:06There've been more railroad detectives killed on this division
10:08than there were Union soldiers to battle a bull run.
10:11These railroad men hang together.
10:13They ain't what I'd call gentle people.
10:16You could be smart.
10:17Back away from this.
10:19Now, listen, at the risk of offending you,
10:20I'm still gonna need my horse.
10:22Well, I already sent for him.
10:23He'll be here in about a half hour.
10:26I'll see you later on here.
10:38Oh, something you wanted?
10:40Oh, a little information.
10:42No more trains through here till tomorrow.
10:44One going east at 8 in the morning.
10:46You happen to see that treble on the platform this morning?
10:49You mean that kid the sheriff grabbed
10:51for killing the Pinkerton?
10:52Mm-hmm.
10:53Yeah, I saw it.
10:55Who was the brakeman?
10:56The man who pulled the boy off the train.
10:58Oh, there are a lot of trainmen come through here.
11:00Can't expect a man to know them all.
11:02I kind of expected you to.
11:04Now, suppose you tell me who he is and where I can find him.
11:06You must get into an awful lot of trouble,
11:08don't you, asking questions like that?
11:10I do, but you'd be surprised how many answers I get.
11:12Now, I'm not leaving here until you tell me who he is.
11:14His name is Bruner.
11:16Where can I find him?
11:18There's a division point at Juniper Wells.
11:20Juniper Wells, 30 miles west of here.
11:22Maybe there.
11:23Any particular place?
11:25Well, I hear he's got a girlfriend named Francie.
11:27Works at the saloon in the Davis Hotel.
11:33Much obliged.
11:51Thank you.
12:07Josh?
12:08Yeah?
12:09Josh Randle.
12:16In here, please.
12:20I'll make sure of it.
12:22No, no, no.
12:23Leave him alone.
12:25Get him out of town.
12:27How?
12:28You'll figure it out.
12:29About time he was waking up.
12:56What are you doing here?
12:58You left Solberg so fast I didn't get the money you owed me from a horse.
13:02I came after you and found you laying in the dirt, making sore noises.
13:06Where are we?
13:07About two miles out of Juniper Wells.
13:10Is this where you found me?
13:12Ways up the track.
13:13Must have thrown you off a train.
13:16Guess they didn't want your body messing up the streets of Juniper.
13:19Lucky for me you got a thick skull.
13:23Lucky for you, huh?
13:25I had no fancy digging a grave with nothing but a pocket knife.
13:29You know, I had a feeling somebody tried to kill me.
13:32They sure weren't wishing you a happy birthday.
13:35Take a pull on that.
13:36You look like you're about ready for embalming.
13:41Ain't exactly what I'd call a whiskey, but it tastes bad enough it'll make you forget your headache.
13:46Somebody knew I was coming into town.
13:49Everybody knew you was coming into town.
13:51That's the trouble with you youngsters.
13:52You get an idea and you want to turn the dog loose.
13:54You never think what they're after tree.
13:57I'm beginning to feel pretty stupid.
13:59Well, that sounds better than the way I'd put it.
14:01You get real wild and bushy-tailed.
14:04It never occurs to you that a telegraph can outrun a horse.
14:07It occurs to me now.
14:09Then maybe it'll occur to you that whoever killed that detective
14:11wouldn't be dead set against killing somebody else.
14:14I tried to tell you that the railroaders run Juniper Wells,
14:17and the railroaders hang together.
14:19I got one all picked out, hanged by himself.
14:25I'm surprised that hat fits on that bump you're wearing under it.
14:30Your horse ride double?
14:32Maybe.
14:33No need, though.
14:34I got yours staked out here in the brush.
14:36Pop, that's horse stealing.
14:38How do you think I got into the liver stable business?
14:41Besides, that horse belongs to me until I get that $40 back.
14:49Ah.
15:20Place your bets, gentlemen.
15:28Hitting?
15:31Ten or better.
15:39Down for double.
15:45California blackjack.
15:46Pay 21.
15:50Hmm.
15:51Gentleman wins.
16:02Marty.
16:05Feel a couple of hands for me, will you?
16:07Let's start fresh, Chance, huh?
16:12I'll have the usual.
16:13Make it two.
16:20You've been gone a while, Ed.
16:22I just wanted to be sure he was out of town.
16:25Was he dead?
16:26Well, you were there when I told him that.
16:28You went back.
16:29Oh, he'll have a headache for a few days, but he'll be all right.
16:35Look, don't you think it's about time you told me why you were after him?
16:38Why don't you just drink your drink and forget it, huh?
16:41Oh, look, honey, you know how I feel about you.
16:44There isn't much you could do that I wouldn't go along with.
16:46Oh.
16:47Well, let's keep it that way, huh?
16:51Ed, are you wanted by the law?
16:54Why?
16:55Well, I just wanted to know.
16:57Why is it so important?
16:59You've never had much love for them.
17:01Well, I still don't.
17:04It's just that I don't want to go to jail for something you've done.
17:07Oh, now, honey, would I go to jail for something you've done?
17:10It's just that I don't want to go to jail for something you've done.
17:13Oh, now, honey, would I get you into that kind of trouble?
17:17Listen, you meet me upstairs as soon as you get through, huh?
17:20I want to get some sleep.
17:33Thanks, Marty.
17:34It's all right, anytime.
17:36All right, boys.
17:37Let's play some bets.
17:40All right.
17:48Hey.
17:50Hope you ain't entertained any notion of going in there and not being recognized.
17:54Haven't much choice, have I?
17:56What about this?
18:00Yeah.
18:01You give me yours in about two minutes' time.
18:08Hey.
18:09Something just occurred to me.
18:11Yeah?
18:12If I wear this thing in there, some nearsighted joker might take me for you.
18:16That's right.
18:33Don't shuffle the spots off him, Francie.
18:37Cut.
18:40All right, gentlemen.
18:41Place your bets.
18:42The cards are coming.
18:43$30.
18:45Oh, I'm sorry, but there's a $20 limit, mister.
18:47My name's Josh Randall.
18:50I, uh, think we ought to have a little talk.
18:53Well, I'm busy.
18:55It won't take very long.
18:58Marty.
19:03It's all yours.
19:04Well, I mean, give me some of that stuff you sell for whiskey.
19:08Frank!
19:09The house is buying.
19:10Make the bet.
19:12You bet $100.
19:15You bet $100.
19:20You bet $100.
19:21You bet $100.
19:25You bet $100.
19:26You bet $100.
19:28You bet $100.
19:29You bet $100.
19:31You bet $100.
19:32The house is mine. Make mine a double.
19:37Drop that cannon. You might live a long time.
19:45All right, what do you want?
19:47A man named Bruner.
19:49I don't know anyone by that name.
19:51Look, honey, I've got a good ear for voices,
19:53and I've also got a headache thanks to you.
19:55Now let's start all over again. The man's name is Bruner.
19:59What do you want him for?
20:01Murder.
20:03Well, Ed wouldn't kill anybody.
20:05He did.
20:06Who?
20:07Picket and Detective. Found his body yesterday.
20:10You're lying. He wouldn't do it.
20:13Ask him.
20:25You'll kind of keep an eye on the hill, won't you, bro?
20:27Don't you worry, son.
20:30You and me has gotten to be real good friends, ain't we?
20:47Hold it.
20:50We'd better understand each other before you go in that room.
20:53I thought we already did.
20:55Well, not all together.
20:57You see, there's a lot more involved in it than just my headache.
20:59I just want you to go in there and ask a question.
21:01And, uh, I'm gonna be out here listening, hear?
21:13You finished early.
21:15The game folded.
21:17Come on, sit down. I'll buy you a drink.
21:27This place isn't good enough for you.
21:29I want you to find yourself a better room.
21:31Maybe even a little house.
21:33Sure.
21:35What do I use for money?
21:38You don't have to worry about money.
21:46Where'd you get it, Ed?
21:48I've been saving it, honey.
21:50I wanted a surprise for you.
21:52You know, I've been saving it.
21:54I've been saving it, honey.
21:56I wanted a surprise for you.
21:58I think you took that off the body of a Pinkerton detective.
22:02Who you been talking to?
22:04It's true, isn't it?
22:05I said who?
22:07Take your dirty hands off of me!
22:12You stay right in that door.
22:14And keep your mouth shut or you'll be next.
22:17I don't think so.
22:19Get a long ride ahead of you, Bruner.
22:21Put your hands in your coat pocket.
22:23All right, now back out of the room.
22:49Did you get the money?
22:51I want my half.
22:53What's the matter?
22:55Didn't you get the reward money?
22:57Uh-uh.
22:59What happened?
23:01Seems like Pig's got a sense of humor.
23:03Yeah?
23:05Yeah. Gave the kid the money.
23:07Told him it was my idea.
23:09That's easy.
23:11All we gotta do is find the boy.
23:13Where is he?
23:15Pig ran him out of town after he gave him the money.
23:18We're both out of luck.
23:20Not me.
23:22Forty dollars.
23:34Come on. Help me drink it.
