Please, I'm begging you.

Nobody wants to walk out on you.

This happened in Bisbee.

Why bring your troubles here?

We've got families.

Every man here is a family man.

Dan's a family man too.

I'm a family man, in a way.

Let's get out of here.

You see, Dan, everybody wants to live.

Butterfield too. He'll walk out.

No, he won't. He'll stick.

He's human.

At five minutes to 3,

Butterfield will walk out...

...and leave you all alone.

Now what do you figure

you're gonna die for?

Because Butterfield

lost his gold shipment?

Because a fool

got what he deserved?

I'm going up to talk to Dan.

You watch out from here.

Drop the gun.

Dan, the roof!

Take good care of him.

Dan, open up.

- What happened to Alex?

- I heard shots.

I ran. They were dragging him

to the hotel.

Dan!

Guess that leaves just the two of you.

If there's one more shot, I shoot you.

Tell them.

Hey, Charlie.

You've got one more shot.

Make it good.

We'll use it going to the station.

Go see what they did to Alex.

Listen to me, Dan.

I'm not going through with it.

And you aren't either.

- What happened to Alex?

- Dan...

- What happened?

- Dan, if you think you have...

...any obligation, you don't.

I'm releasing you. Alex is dead.

The odds are changing, aren't they?

Now it's one against seven.

You have no obligation.

You'd better listen to what he said.

You'd better...

You're real lucky, Dan.

A woman like that to come home to.

Alex.

Dan?

Where are you?

Here.

If he moves an inch,

give him both barrels.

Dan, where are you?

Alice.

Did you hear that thunder?

- Lf you're doing this for me...

- lf it rains...

If it's something I said...

Everything would be green.

Dan, please don't be stubborn.

I heard thunder.

Dan, there's no thunder.

There won't be rain either.

If I ever said anything

that made you think...

...I was complaining...

...it just isn't true

because I love everything.

Every minute.

All the worry, all the work,

all the hurts of life.

If it's the $200 you need,

I'll still pay.

Don't go through with it.

I've got to.

- For the money?

- No.

- For me?

- No.

- Then why?

- I've got to, that's all.

I don't want a hero. I want you.

If I didn't have to do it, I wouldn't.

But I heard Alex scream.

He gave his life

because he believed...

...people should be able to live

in peace together.

You think I can do less?

Don't. No, please don't

go through with it.

You know I've never been able

to give you very much.

No pearls, nothing.

Sometimes not enough

food for the family.

Maybe this'll be something

worth remembering.

What are you saying?

- Don't you think you'll make it?

- Of course.

At 3:
00, I'll walk to the station.

Then why are you talking

about a memory?

I mean, the boys'll always remember...

...I walked Ben Wade to the station.

You go downstairs.

I'll be down in a minute.

It's time, Wade.

Butterfield, I'm gonna take him

out the back way. Stay with Alice.

As soon as we get near

those cattle pens...

...take Alice and drive her

out of town as fast as you can.

All right, then.

Alice, I don't want you to worry.

I'll get him to Yuma.

Then I'll be right back.

I'll be waiting.

One more shot and I'll cut you in two.

I told you, you have just one more

shot. Next time, make it good.

There they go!

You'll have trouble

making that next corner.

That's thoughtful of you, friend.

Go first and you'll get it from ahead.

Go last and you'll get it

from back here.

- Worked all right, didn't it?

- It worked real good.

Wait.

One of my men up there

on the roof.

Why don't you wave to him?

Well, right on time.

I won't have to wait.

There's still time to get out of this.

There's still time.

Cross the street.

Here we go. Now.

They're headed for the train!

Why the stop?

To do you a favor. Run before

they chop you down.

Move.

All right.

That's not so far. We should

make that real easy.

Tell them to come out.

You tell them.

Too bad, Dan. You made a nice try.

We'll be on that baggage car.

Stay where you are!

Drop, Ben!

Drop, Ben! Drop!

Go down, Ben! I'll kill him!

Let's go.

- How do I know you'll jump?

- You'll have to trust me. Jump!

- Why'd you do it, Ben?

- I don't like owing any favors.

You saved my life at the hotel.

Besides, I've broken

out of Yuma before.

Well, my job's over

when I get you there.
