Well, I hope you remember

the combinations.

Oh, yeah, I do.

But I'm not going to open that box

until you get rid of the gun.

- You don't trust me?

- I trust you.

But like you said, we're partners, right?

But you have a gun, I don't.

That's my deal, take it or leave it.

What's to keep me from just shooting

the locks off this box?

Or better yet...

I shoot you...

and throw the box in the trunk.

Yeah, you could do that.

What about the caretaker, though?

He might hear the shot.

He might call the deputies.

Might get a little messy, even for you, Lyle.

You know, Wayne,

I think you got me all wrong.

I'm not greedy.

- Fair is fair, right, partner?

- Right.

All right.

There you go.

Open the box.

Wayne...

you're making a mistake.

Do you really think

he's going to let you keep half that money?

Mike, that hurt.

Don't worry about me, Mike.

I think he's going to let me keep it all.

Now, Wayne, does this mean

that we ain't partners?

- Just get away from the car.

- Come on.

Come on, move it.

- Move it!

- All right, all right, all right.

Go on, get over there.

Get back. Move back.

Now, come on, you aren't going to

leave me out here, are you?

Come on, after all I've done for you.

I got you out of jail and everything.

I tell you, human nature.

All right, who's got the keys?

- I've got them right here, partner.

- Give them to me.

Okay, I'll tell you. I'll drive.

You just tell me where we're...

Look, stop moving!

Just slow down, you son of a b*tch,

just stay right there!

Now give me the f***ing keys!

Okay, here. I was just kidding. I mean...

Stop moving!

- Now give me the keys, come on.

- Okay, now.

Easy does it.

(Gun firing)

It sounded like a gun.

- Let me help you, okay?

- Stay away.

- It's okay.

- No.

Why don't you give me the gun?

Better call the Sheriff.

Where the f*** are the keys, Wayne?

Where the f*** are the keys, Wayne!

What the f*** did you do with the keys?

All right, I'll let him know. Thanks.

Hello, Matt?

- Come in, Matt.

- Go ahead, Jane.

Mrs. Hornaday just called.

Out at the cemetery. She said there's

some people out there shooting guns.

What should I do?

Call them back, tell them to stay put.

We'll be right there.

Come back here.

I'm not finished with you.

Hey.

You know what? I am better than you.

(Gun firing)

Suzanne.

The train.

Suzanne!

Hurry!

- Drop the bag!

- No!

Then give it to me.

I guess this means,

you'll be going to Mexico by yourself, huh?

There's the door. I suggest you use it.

Is that what you said to the ranch hand?

- You shot him, didn't you?

- Yeah.

Obviously I didn't do a very good job.

Next time I'll be a little more thorough.

Why?

Why? He found out about me.

He wanted my money.

That's what it's all about, isn't it?

Stay away from the bag.

Michael...

I kind of like you. Don't make me shoot you.

That's right. No bullets.

Michael, please.

We can work something out.

There's enough money for both of us.

I'm really sorry.

I'll give you half. I'll give you half.

You stupid son of a b*tch!

You want it?

Go get it.

You son of a b*tch!

(Police car siren wailing)

Sh*t.

Adios, Red Rock.
