train right from under you.

And now the $500,000 has

been locked...

up in the bank vault.

- That damned dirty Indian!

- Calm down, Duncan.

You can still help.

They're running around like a pack

of scared rabbits in town.

They think I've gone to Wellington

for help.

So what?

So you capture me...

and you take me to Esperanza.

We go to the bank, and you force

me to open the safe.

The money's there in the bank.

I know how to open the door.

Then you can give me my share.

Okay.

But be careful.

This is your last chance.

You sure he'll come?

What did he tell you, Estella?

What'll we do if he doesn't

show up?

Things will be just as bad

as before.

They'll be worse.

Damned Indian.

Do you think he'll come?

That's enough!

We can fight them ourselves!

All right, get up. We'll show them!

Go ahead.

Besides, we don't know if that

Indian's telling the truth.

It could be a trap.

Wait a second. Didn't he bring

us the money?

She's right.

I'm sure that Chester will make

it to Wellington.

And he'll come back here

with the Rangers.

Meanwhile, trust the Indian.

He'll guard us.

All by himself? An Indian?

Time was when we'd pay a

dollar for his scalp.

No, we need the Rangers.

Don't count on that.

They won't come.

Your man took the wrong way.

What do you mean?

You'll see.

I know that I'm the man you need.

And you're absolutely sure you can

fight that gang alone?

We won't be able to help you

at all, don't forget.

Aman who knows what he wants...

is worth a lot.

Well then, what do you want?

I told you, a dollar a head.

All right. You'll defend us.

And one other thing.

You the sheriff?

No, the deputy.

He's the sheriff.

What do you want?

- That.

- What?

You want us to appoint you as

sheriff, is that it?

That's right.

But you can't.

An Indian sheriff?

The only ones elected in this

country are Americans.

My father was born here,

in the mountains.

His father before him and

his father before him

and his father before him.

Where was your father born?

But what has that to do with it?

I said, where was he born?

In Scotland.

My father was born here,

in America.

And his father before him and

his father before him

and his father before him.

Now, which of us is American?

And that's mine.

It belongs to me.

Thanks.

- All right?

- Good.

Go home and stay there...

and keep out of my way.

Get me some dynamite.

Then I'll tell you what to

do with the money.

They're coming now.

The rotten filth.

Girls, don't move. Duncan's

in town.

If he sees us, we're as

good as dead.

Good Lord!

Why, it was utter insanity to rely

on that Indian.

I hope Chester gets to Wellington.

By now, it's our only chance.

I don't know. Let's pray.

No tricks, Duncan.

Don't worry. You'll

get your half.

All right, where's the money?

Or were you lying all along?

I swear. It was here.

I don't understand.

- I saw it.

- You're a liar! Where's the money?

They must've hidden it somewhere.

But I'll find it.

Where is the money?

- I tell you, I don't know.

- Where's the money?

My wife will know where they hid

it. Give me time to talk to her.

Chester!

No! Oh, Chester.

No, ma'am, you must not go.

- No.

- Stay inside.

Chester!

Chester, no.

Darling.

Chester, the Indian has it all.

He hid it.

It's my fault.

- I gave it to him.

- So, all the money is with the Indian?

Forgive me, darling.

- Come here.

- No, let me go. No.

No, let me go.

Joe! Please help me.

Hey, Indian! Come out!

Come on out, do you hear me?

Throw your gun down, or I'm

gonna kill this woman.

- Can you see her?

- No!

She's an Indian like you are.

Get down here fast, redskin,

if you...

don't want this squaw to die.

What are you waiting for?

Slaughter him!

You hear me? Slaughter him.

He's got to talk.

You damned Indian.

Where did you put all that money?

Speak up!

You'll end up talking.

Sooner or later.

I know you'd rather get a slug,

but that's too simple.

First, you'll have to tell us where

you hid the money.

Now, will you talk?

Where's the money?

Talk.

That's enough, brother!

We'll never know where

the money is.

Corpses can't talk.

Leave him be for a while.

String him up by his feet.

You can get yourself a little

fresh air tonight.

Tomorrow, after you've had a good

rest, you and me will have our talk.

You frightened me, girl.

Next time you come, let us

know that it's you.

Or you might get an arrow

through the stomach.

We have to be prepared, in case one

of Duncan's men finds us here.

Well, I've really had it.

Let's get out of this town.

- What are we waiting for, Chuck?

- Me, too.

Why, the people here

are all cowards.

Didn't you see? No one even tried

to save that poor Indian.

You didn't do anything either.

But why have you come to us?

Please, help me save him.

He gave himself up...

to save my life.

He saved our lives, too,

remember, Chuck?

Yeah, of course I do.

Estella's right. There must be

something we can try.

Females!

Very well then, but I'll do it alone.

This is no job for women.

What are you doing here, huh?

- Me?

- Answer me.

I'm taking a little walk.

- Here?

- Sure, I'm just crazy about horses.

And you know what? I noticed that

white one has a limp.

- Are you sure?

- Look for yourself. Look.

You dirty little...

Help!

Help!

Thank you, friend.

Thank you.

They've let the Indian get away!

They're all going

to pay for this.

Listen to what I have to say.

If by noon the money

hasn't turned up,...

expect everyone to die!

That's absurd. They're all innocent.

Nobody knows where it's hidden.

Well, somebody does.

I'll be waiting.

For the love of God, Duncan!

I've warned you!

- I'll be leaving.

- What do you mean?

I'll just be hiding.

But I need someone to bring those men

that are guarding the corral to me.

But not me, huh?

Some jobs a man can't do.

But the big blonde can

do it. Maybe.

Yes, that would be exciting.

But I don't murder men.

But he said nothing of killing.

All you have to do is get

him to follow you.

I'll do the rest.

Just leave it to us.

But I want you to live.

Why don't you go before

it's too late?

I have to finish what I've started.

Why do you hate Duncan so much?

If it's not for the money that you

kill those bandits, then why?

Someday when you grow up,...

and don't ask so many questions,...

maybe I'll tell you.

Well, hello.

What are you hanging around

the corral for?

You know it ain't allowed.

Just as I passed here, this

garter unhooked.

I'd certainly appreciate a little

friendly assistance?

With pleasure. I know all about

these things.

It tickles. Thanks a lot.

You certainly are one

big barrel of fun.

Let's have a little kiss for

the hero, huh?

Oh, no, no. Not here.

Why don't you come to

my cabin later?

Don't be late now, and bring your

buddy for my girlfriend.

Wait! Wait!

Barbara, what happened?

- They're coming.

- Come on.

Coming?

I found two girls. Come on!

What about the horses?

Let them find their own girls.
