Will I? You, sir. Will you please
hand down our packs?
Right there. The lad and I will not
continue the journey.
[Jack] But Griffin...
Don't blubber. As we have no gold...
Here, put this on.
We have no heavy coats
to keep us warm.
There.
Thank you, sir. It would be foolish
for us to continue.
There. Good day.
Are you ready? Press on.
I don't see why
we couldn't have gone on anyhow.
I mean,
even if the map is gone, that's...
Shh. I do not think
those banditos will ride far
with an unwieldy bundle of jackets.
And if they're just feeling around
for hidden coins...
[laughs] They may not
detect the map. Mmm. Come on.
Let's get aboard.
Get that door closed.
No, wait.
Toss it down. That's my bag
right there. Toss it down quickly.
Oh, I have
a very important engagement.
[Griffin] It is.
Oh, see. Look! Look!
[Laughs]
[Griffin] There we go.
[Higgins] Wise plan, then, Griffin.
Oh, splendid.
Oh, I'll take that now, thank you.
[Higgins] Strange, isn't it,
how our paths continue to cross.
Oh, I won't trouble you to help me
into it. Just toss it up gently.
No, sir.
I refuse to give you the coat.
You'll have to shoot me first.
- No! Don't shoot!
- Toss up the coat.
[Laughs]
Oh, I have no doubt
that you are a scoundrel, Higgins.
But you're not the type
who would shoot an unarmed man.
Well, that is purely
a personal opinion on your part.
You're certainly not the kind
to shoot an unarmed man in the back.
Shall we go, Master Jack?
[Stammering] Sir? My back was turned.
Shall I count to three?
- One... two...
- Wait!
No, no, no, Master Jack! Wait!
- Throw, Jack!
- Here!
[Laughs]
Oh, smart boy, Jack.
And if I may once again
quote your friend Bartlett,
"Parting is such sweet sorrow."
[Griffin] Or as he might remind you,
"The path is smooth
that leadeth onto danger."
Oh, and I assure you, sir.
Our paths... [laughs]
Going from camp to camp
They searched for old Judge Higgins
Who kept himself so cleverly disguised
Their quest would not be through
And every clue was promptly utilized
Let's ask him.
Excuse me, sir.
Sir?
Uh, we wanted to ask
if perhaps you had seen
a rather large man pass this way.
His name is Higgins. Judge Higgins.
A-ha.
through Hang Town, headed this way.
[Speaks Chinese]
Maybe we should go ask some others.
Very well.
You're just wasting your time.
And just what
makes you say that, sir?
- Don't none of them talk English.
- Oh! Hmm.
Y'all want a dish of chow?
Just go in and help yourself.
I always do, every time I pass by.
- Don't they mind?
- Well, now, they ain't never said.
At least not so
I can understand them. [laughs]
[Laughs] Yes. I'm afraid
we must be on our way.
Now, hold on now.
This man you're looking for,
he sure sounds like old Cut Eye
over at Shirt Tail camp.
The only trouble is, he's a dentist.
He ain't no judge.
Well now, uh... Are you sure?
Did you meet him?
Meet him? I was the first one
after he come over to Shirt Tail.
He got me all hooched up so I
wouldn't feel nothing. Look here.
Oh.
Skunk pulled every dagbusted tooth
that had any gold in it.
We thank you, sir,
for the information. Good day.
[Shouting]
It's Judge Higgins they're hanging.
I demand to be heard
and I will be heard.
Open your mouth.
- In. Inside.
- Oh!
Wait!
[Griffin] Please! Wait!
Oh, we've come 50 miles. 50 miles!
We must use your dentist
before you hang him.
[Gasps]
[Moans]
Well, it looks to me like a
compound infection of an abscess root.
- [Higgins] Come closer, boy.
- [Moans]
- Open your mouth.
- No! He can't do that.
- He can't?
- The air. It's very bad on the tooth.
- The air.
- Oh. Oh, yes, yes! The air!
[Moaning]
Don't touch him! A thing like that
could be fatal to a boy his age
if he isn't treated immediately.
What are we gonna do?
We gotta do something.
- We can't let that poor boy suffer.
- Please, please.
You must do something
to help this poor lad.
All right, boys.
Old Cut Eye been duly tried
by miners' court.
and sentenced to be hung.
- However, this one time,
- [crowd murmuring]
We gonna temper justice with mercy.
- We gonna let you live long enough
- [moaning]
To pull this suffering boy's tooth.
Why, you'll never regret it, sir.
Thank you, sir. Oh, thank you.
[Crowd murmuring]
I was never so happy
to see anyone in my whole life.
Ow! [whispers]
Do you still have the map?
It's where nobody will find it
in 100 years.
Why don't you tell us where it is?
It won't do you any good
after they hang you.
Get me out of this alive...
...and I promise you the map is yours.
You are absolutely ridiculous. How
can we possibly do a thing like that?
- They'd shoot us all.
- Give me your word
- you'll do what you can.
- Oh, come along, Master Jack.
[Higgins] I have it. I have it.
Tell them I can't pull the tooth
till the swelling goes down.
It'll take several days.
You.
Give us the map first,
and I promise we'll do everything
we can to help you.
- You promise?
- I promise.
You said it was where nobody
would find it in 100 years.
That's the first place we'd look.
Not if I had been buried
with my coat on.
[Laughs] That's very good.
[Griffin stammering] But this map
is no earthly good.
The most important part is missing.
The end of the trail.
Shot away by that insolent varmint
who held up the stage.
You gave me your word
to do everything you can.
- We won't do anything.
- Master Jack.
Quite right.
Wait, Bullwhip! He tricked us.
Nevertheless, a gentleman
does not go back on his word.
Get away from that window, sonny.
Gentlemen, gentlemen!
You simply must wait
until another dentist arrives.
But he been convicted.
He gotta be hung!
[Crowd roars]
Have you ever been awakened
in the middle of the night
by an excruciating toothache?
One that throbs and pounds?
Like 1,000 hot knives
jabbing and searing
until you can feel it
down to your toenails?
[Gasps] It could happen tonight.
Yes, it could. Yes, to you.
Or you.
And you. It could happen
to any one of you.
Ah. But how?
How will you feel then, tonight,
when you have hanged the only
available dentist this morning?
For the time being, he's worth more
alive to us than he is dead.
But he gonna be
And we gonna get on with the hanging
as soon as another dentist shows up.
Oh, and one thing more.
As head of the miners' committee,
I'm ordering you and that boy
to get his grave dug.
[Miner] Have it ready and waitin'.
Kind of a reminder to him
that we mean business.
Dig her plenty deep, too.
We're gonna get rid of that crook
once and for all.
You know what was nice
about Bullwhip Brannigan?
Towards the end of the book,
after he built his rock palace
and married the Indian princess...
Indian princess?
- Oh!
- He told Tom Wingay,
