Santa Fe Page #6

I know what hatred can do.

Some people get over it,

others don't.

You're condoning these men.

I was as revengeful against the South

because of what they took from me...

...as they must be against the North

because of what we took from them.

You've got a short memory.

Now you're talking the same kind

of hatred I had to fight.

It wasn't a hard fight with him

to help you, was it? A murderer.

I tell you the man

who was killed was drunk.

They had to shoot him

in self-defense.

- How do you know?

- Because Britt told me.

It's gone that far

between you, has it?

You're in love with him, aren't you?

Aren't you?

That's all the answer I need.

Twelve hours a day ain't enough

for a man to work.

Just a little run

down the line, he says.

Doggone if we ain't halfway

to Dodge City.

Well, just keep on going,

because that's where we're headed.

- What?

- You heard me.

Come in.

Well. You kind of like

surprise visits, don't you?

This will be the last one.

- Who else is here?

- No one.

So you came out to Colorado

to help the Santa Fe.

Finding out about a payroll

leaving tonight...

...was just an accident, I suppose.

Listen, Britt...

...we got a chance to square accounts

with those Yankees once and for all.

- Don't try to stop us.

- You bet I won't.

Ride for that train,

and you ride to your death.

Bat Masterson's men

will be aboard waiting for you.

But there won't be any money.

I don't believe it. It's a trick.

On Baxter's part.

I might lie for my brothers,

but I never lie to them.

Then I guess we'll have to

call off the whole thing.

Canfields are finished around here.

Pack out tonight,

and I'll go with you to Virginia.

You'll go with us?

- What about your ever-loving railroad?

- That's finished too, for me.

There's someone who believes in me,

in all the Canfields...

...and we are not

going to destroy that trust.

Yeah.

Come on, let's all go back home.

Yes. Yes, we'll go.

It's what I've always wanted, Clint.

Sure. We'll go.

Then be ready to leave in an hour.

There's something in town I must do.

Well, what's so funny?

We aren't gonna get the payroll.

Aren't we?

If the money isn't onboard that train,

there's only one place it can be.

In the railroad safe

at the Dodge City depot.

And with those marshals out of town,

riding that train, waiting for us...

...what could be nicer?

- But, Clint, we promised.

- I know.

Isn't it a lucky thing I was listening?

So Mr. Britt Canfield is your brother.

Wouldn't the railroad

like to know that.

Come on, before Crake

and the boys get tired waiting.

Will you see that this gets

to Dave Baxter in La Junta?

Wells, Fargo!

There's more than a payroll here.

There's a couple of hundred thousand.

Come on.

Outlaws robbed the depot safe

and shot a couple of guards.

Ella Sue, where are they?

I don't know.

You know they robbed the depot.

- Yes.

- Then you know where to find them.

- No.

- They've got to be brought in.

People were killed tonight.

I can't find Terry and Clint,

that'll mean more killing.

Innocent men. Doesn't that

mean anything to you?

Yes. Yes, it does.

They ridden to the way station

at Lyles Crossing.

They're going to stop

the westbound and escape.

Sanders planned it.

I was supposed to meet them there...

...go with them.

But it would always be

running away...

...somebody after you

all your life, hiding, afraid.

Anything's better than that.

I'd rather see Terry in prison.

Clint did this to us. I hate him.

No, Ella Sue. Don't hate Clint.

I'm the one to blame. I'm the oldest.

They always did what I said.

I should have

kept the family together.

Britt.

Save Terry for me, if you can.

I thought I'd find you here.

Where's the rest of your gang?

I realize all the Santa Fe meant to you

was a chance to get some fast money.

Take it easy, Baxter.

Where are your brothers?

- I can't tell you that.

- We'll catch them.

- Meanwhile, you're under arrest.

- You're making a mistake.

Britt had nothing to do with it.

He came to find them,

to make them give themselves up.

Is that true? Then you won't mind

telling us where they are.

You ever had

any brothers, Masterson?

- You leave me no choice.

- They're at Lyles Crossing.

- Ella Sue.

- Lf you hurry, you can get there.

I love Terry,

and I don't wanna love a killer.

Let's move.

Carter, stay here with Canfield.

- I've got to go with you.

- So you can tell them we're coming?

- Keep him here.

- I'm trying to save your lives.

- And theirs?

- Lf I can. They'll shoot it out.

- That's the way we'd like it.

- And you'll win, but you won't all win.

I wanna stop them

as much as you do.

If I can make them give up

without a fight, I will.

Swear him in as a deputy, Bat.

Captain Canfield's a good man

in a fight. I ought to know.

We're cattlemen, mister.

Want tickets for Fort Lyon.

How many traveling?

- Six.

- Seven.

There's a young woman

supposed to meet us.

I ain't seen nothing all day,

except you men...

...and what trains go whizzing by.

They don't stop unless I flag them.

How long till ours leaves?

Well, that's a touchy question.

Sometimes she's 10 minutes late,

sometimes two hours.

Last week, she was on time once.

I guess she'll be on time...

On time tonight too.

They're just telegraphing about it.

I guess I'd better tell them

that I've got passengers.

Forget about the tickets.

We'll use our passes.

Looks like they're here.

Just be ready to flag down that train,

and nothing will happen to you.

Ella Sue ought to be here by now.

I hope she don't get here.

A woman is only in the way.

I'm not going without her.

You can't rush them

without somebody getting hurt.

Yeah.

You inside there...

...come out with your hands up.

You can't get away...

- I'm going to talk to them.

- No, wait, Canfield. Don't risk it.

They're my brothers. I'll be fine.

They're desperate men

fighting for their lives.

They're still my brothers.

Clint, Terry, can you hear?

Clint, Terry, can't you hear me?

Yeah. Get away from here, Britt.

Go back.

There are too many of us.

Give up while you can.

You'll get a fair trial.

Fair trial?

If you want us, come and get us.

- Don't!

- Get away.

Could've figured you'd turn yellow

when it'd come to him.

Keep away from

that window, Sanders.

It's your own fault, Terry.

You shouldn't have done it.

Britt!

Britt!

We'll board the train on the fly.

As soon as the engine gets between us

and the marshals, make a run for it.

You're not getting on any train.

So you Canfields are all alike.

Come on.

Keep rolling.

Keep your hands off that brake.

Come down.

Stop this train.

Stop this train.

Honor your partner,

lady by your side.

Circle left for quite a while.

Circle right for half a mile.

Swing your honey

and give her a smile.

Allemande left with your left hand.

Back to the right.

To the right, left grand.

Meet your honey

and promenade home.

I wish to pay tributes to the men

who built this railroad.
