Carson City Page #4

What's your hurry?

Well, it's...

It's getting late,

And I'm not as young

as I once was, you know.

Good night.

I thought you didn't

go in for gunplay.

Wake up.

Dad, wake up. It's morning.

It's morning. Wake up.

Dad...

Dad!

Ohh!

Uncle Henry.

I heard

about your father.

I'm sorry I couldn't

get back from Reno

In time for the funeral.

- Any new developments?

- Not a thing.

- Sure does beat all.

- What are you hauling?

Rail sections.

Somebody's got to haul

their freight for them.

I figured I might as well

get all I can

Before they put me

out of business.

I'll be over and see you just

as soon as I get this delivered.

How about a drink

before we get back?

Wait a minute.

Susan...

I've been wanting

to talk to you.

Haven't you done enough?

I hear there's

talk around town

Blaming the railroad

for what happened.

Does that surprise you?

I've checked up

on all my men.

They've all accounted for

where they were that night.

Naturally.

They wouldn't lie to you.

Alan, please take me

back home.

You don't really believe

we had anything to do with it?

My father didn't have an enemy

in the world until this started,

But he fought the railroad,

and he was killed.

- What else should I think?

- That answers your question?

Come on.

Now I think

I'll have that drink.

That's more like it.

Mitchell didn't say

what was on his mind

When he came here

looking for me?

Just asked

if you'd been around.

Wish he'd found me. Maybe

this wouldn't have happened.

Nobody in this town

had anything against him.

It was

that railroad crowd.

They wanted to shut him up.

I think we ought

to run them out.

You can't

just take the law

Into your own hands

without proof.

What do you want

to do,

Wait till they kill

somebody else?

I think we've waited

long enough.

Speak of the devil.

Afternoon, gentlemen.

Two whiskeys.

Wait a minute,

Joel.

Railroad money's

no good in here.

New rule?

We put it in

when Mitchell got killed.

Are you going to bring

that bottle,

Or do I have to get it?

I got a right

to refuse service.

Let it go, hardrock.

Come on, we're leaving.

If you know

what's good for you,

You'll keep right on going.

I'm trying to keep the lid on.

Don't force your luck.

I'm not asking you.

I'm telling you!

Now get on out of town

before I...

Don't do that

unless you can back it up.

And get this,

all of you...

Any time you've got evidence

that a railroad man

Had anything to do

with Mitchell's killing,

I'll be the first

to bring him in. Until then,

I'll keep out of your way,

and you'll keep out of mine.

Watch it.

What's the matter,

afraid of getting dirty?

How'd you like to have

a nice cold glass of beer?

I forgot

what it tastes like.

I'm going to town.

I'm going to town!

Anybody coming with me?

Beer.

Nope, I'm not

supposed to...

Bring us some beer.

Yeah, sure.

And set up a bottle

of whiskey with them.

Hey, you, have a drink.

No, thanks.

I offered

to buy you a drink.

We don't want a drink.

Why don't you go

back where you belong?

I like it here better.

Any objections?

Come on, jeb.

Have a beer!

Next time somebody offers

to buy you a drink...

All right, boys,

party's over.

The party's not over

for you.

Let's get back to camp.

We signed on here

to build a railroad.

What we do after working hours

is our own business.

I made a deal with the town.

I intend to keep it.

We'll be back to work

tomorrow, not before.

All right, then,

We'll do it the hard way.

Everybody, back to camp.

Give him a hand.

Send me the bill.

"Railroad workers

terrorize town.

"Saloon wrecked in brawl.

"Once again,

Carson city has cause

"To regret the presence

of the railroad.

"As predicted by

the late owner of this paper,

It has brought with it

nothing but trouble. "

Don't you think you're

being a little unfair?

I wouldn't have

written it if I did.

Jeff was only trying

to stop it.

You know that.

Susan...

Yes?

I think it's about time

we got something settled.

We made an agreement that you

were to run the paper. I just...

I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about you and me.

I know I've never said

anything about it before,

But, well, I just figured

Someday maybe

you and I would...

Well...

Alan, don't.

Oh, I know this isn't the time

or place to ask you, but...

It isn't that.

It's just that...

Well, I've never thought

of you that way.

We've grown up together.

You've always seemed

more like a...

Brother?

I'm sorry, Alan.

I don't mean to hurt you.

I thought you always felt

the same way about me.

- I had no idea.

- Well, never mind.

We've always been honest

with each other.

You wouldn't want me

any other way, would you?

Why don't you be honest?

Why don't you tell the truth?

Didn't feel this way

before Jeff came back.

That has nothing

to do with it.

You fell all over yourself

when he came into town.

I wish I'd never

laid eyes on him.

That doesn't mean

I would have married you.

I don't believe it.

Everybody in town

knew you were my girl.

I think you've said

just about enough.

Am I also fired

from my job?

That's up to you.

I need you here,

But you don't have to stay

if you don't want to.

Where can I find

Jeff Kincaid?

That tent over there.

Hello, Alan.

Glad to see you. Sit down.

I didn't come here

to visit.

Read that.

It just came out.

Why show it to me?

I just wanted you

to know where I stand.

I've been getting an idea

of where you stood

For some time now.

It hasn't seemed

to bother you any.

I'm getting paid

to do a job.

If that's the way you see it,

well, that's your job.

Isn't it a little late

to be so tolerant?

You're talking about Mitchell,

I don't know more than you do.

I made that clear

last time I saw you.

Yeah. It doesn't go over

any better with Susan.

Let's leave her

out of it, shall we?

You've been trying

to undermine me

Ever since you got here.

I'm not doing but get

a railroad built.

You're a liar.

If you weren't my brother,

I'd call you on that.

Only a half brother,

but don't let that stop you.

I don't know what happened

between you and Susan,

But I didn't have anything

to do with it.

Not much.

The big engineer...

Big talk about Panama,

San Francisco.

I'm just the guy

that's been here all along.

I have enough trouble without

having to wipe your nose.

If you're such a good man,

grow up and act like one.

All right,

I'll start now.

Come on.

What are you waiting for?

Get out.

Hello, Kincaid.

Just a minute.

That's got it.

Hello, Mr. Sharon.

I was going to send you

a wire tonight.

We ought to be punching

through here.

That's not all you've been

punching lately.

Davis sent this to me.

There's enough bad feeling

against us in town already

Without something

like this happening.

Don't believe everything.

It wasn't that bad.

I got you out of jail

to do this job.

One more episode like this,

you'll end up back there.

It would be a relief.
