The Cimarron Kid Page #3

it might do you good

to remember.

There'll be no killing

unless it's forced on us.

Course, this might

be one of them times,

like l said.

Well, men, it looks

like we got ourself

a new leader.

(DOGS BARKlNG)

l wonder who

that could be.

Where do we go, Pat?

The stables.

(CHUCKLlNG)

Well, John Sutton!

Glad to see you.

Same here, Pat.

lt's been a long time.

l want you to meet

a friend of mine,

Sam Swanson.

How are you?

Hello.

You remember

my daughter.

How do you do?

How do you do, ma'am?

Mr. Swanson.

Well, l'll lay a bet

there's something

mighty important

brings you

all the way out here.

lt is. The Daltons.

What about the Daltons?

You got two new

wagons there, Pat?

No, no. l was

just keeping them

for a friend.

Wait here.

Would you care to come

inside, Mr. Swanson?

No, thank you,

l'll wait here.

This probably

won't take long.

Mind if l look

in your barn?

Of course not.

The Daltons raided

Coffeyville.

You ain't heard

about it, eh?

No. lt's the first time.

l suppose they...

They got slaughtered.

All but two of them.

(HORSE NElGHS)

Hey, you you've got

a lot of stock here,

Pat.

Well, l've been

a little lucky.

What's eating you, John?

l've been on both

sides of the law,

and l'd feel complimented

if you sort of laid the cards

on the table.

All right, Pat. l said

two of them got away.

You think they

might be here?

l didn't say that, Pat.

Could be, though.

There's no sense

in us talking in

the dark like this.

One of them answers

to the name of the

Cimarron Kid.

That name doesn't spell

anything to me. l'm sorry.

Would you recognize it

if l spelled it to read

Doolin?

Bill Doolin?

That name does

sound familiar.

Though l don't know

where or what for.

Well, l'll be going.

Glad to know you're

doing pretty good in

the cattle business, Pat.

PAT:
Thanks, it's building.

Maybe some day

l'll have something.

Oh, this fellow

l mentioned,

this Doolin,

if you ever see him...

When you see him,

tell him l said thanks

for giving me an edge.

Tell him also,

l'm sure sorry l have to

keep on going after him.

Although he's riding

the wrong horse now,

maybe it's because he's

had a cold deck shuffle

all the way down the line.

And maybe it ain't too late

to make a deal.

Yeah, 50 years.

Of course, l can't

guarantee anything.

Pat, you've been a good,

law-abiding citizen since

you took this place over,

but harboring outlaws

is obstructing justice,

in case you didn't know it.

So long.

Let's go.

ls the Kid in there?

l'll tell you this,

we're lucky to be

leaving this place alive.

lf you don't kill a man

that's hunting you when

you get the chance,

he's gonna kill you some day.

That's a superstition l got.

Keep it to yourself.

Boys, l'm afraid

you'll have to go.

Come daylight, there'll

be a dozen deputies

swarming around here.

They'll stake out

this place for months.

l've been straight since

l came to the territory

from Texas

and l want to

keep on that way.

All l ask...

You won't be bothered

with us anymore, Pat.

That's a promise.

As a matter of fact,

we're pulling out

right now.

Saddle up.

Yeah, let's get going, boys.

Thanks a million, Pat.

lt's been nice

seeing you again, Pat.

How does it feel

to be honest?

l'll do it.

l'll ride up on

the back with you.

Honey, you ain't going.

Don't ever say that, ever!

l go with you, always.

But this is too dangerous.

l know.

lt's a bad life

and a bad way to live.

But l go with you.

Can l talk to you?

Sure.

Straight talk?

Yeah.

l know that a man

don't like a woman

who preaches to him,

tells him what to do

and how to run

his life and all that.

But l listened to what you

said inside the house and

it made sense.

About gunplay

and all that.

Why don't you

give it up?

lt's too late

for that now.

What do you think

you're gonna get

out of all this?

Money.

To spend on yourself?

For gambling?

For a girl?

None of them things.

What, then?

Land.

Land? Where?

A place far away.

l once heard a fellow

talking about a place

called Argentina.

He said with the proper

amount of money,

you could build yourself

a big cattle ranch there.

He also said,

you might even figure to

start yourself a new life.

Listen to me.

You're crazy.

You're all crazy!

Rose and Bitter Creek.

She should leave him,

but she won't, because

she's in love,

and all the time they're

heading straight to death

on a dark road.

You, too. You're

on that same road!

Excuse me, Miss Carrie.

Well, good luck.

Thanks.

Until next time.

Next time?

There's a new cattle town

called Boonesville.

Dad and l go there whenever

he's cattle to sell.

Boonesville.

l'll remember it.

STACEY:
Go well, Kid.

What's the matter, Stace?

Aren't you coming with us?

lf it's all the same to you,

l'd rather not this time.

l'd just like

to go on home.

l don't blame you.

Come on.

(TRAlN WHlSTLE BLOWlNG)

(GUNS FlRlNG)

Now, notice one thing

about the Kid's operations.

The way he moves around.

He circles wide.

Never repeats a town.

Dives east, then west.

l'm putting a detective

in every town where

the rails go through.

lt'll be a big net.

Maybe we can pull in

the fish that way.

You'll have to get

the rail companies

to stand the expense.

All right?

l think it can

be arranged.

lf it can be arranged,

and it should be,

this is exactly

what l want to do.

We'll put one man here,

one man at Pawnee

one man at Seminole...

Coffee.

Northbound train,

Stationmaster name

of Billingsley.

About 50,

not too tough.

KlD:
How big is the haul?

Payroll.

Railroad section workers

going up to Chickasaw.

$18,000.

The way she wangles

information out of people.

(BLOWS KlSS)

Rose, you're wonderful.

You know, that Swanson

fellow is really gonna

learn to hate us...

What happened to

your Guadalupe?

lt must've gotten torn off

in that last raid.

l looked all over

for it, Rose.

l keep telling her

l shouldn't wear

one of these things.

lt just doesn't seem right.

l mean, with me...

lt's right for me

to pray for you.

Rose thinks it

helps protect me.

l'm just lucky.

l don't know, Bitter.

Maybe it does help.

l used to believe that...

lt helps me, Bill.

Not him.

lt helps me to believe

that maybe l can plan on

something else someday.

Excuse me.

Hello, Bill. l came

into town with Dad.

He just sold

a herd of cattle,

so we'll be starting...

We'll be getting run over

if we don't get

out of the street.

Aren't you taking

an awful chance being

seen in a town like this?

No more than

any other town.

Besides, l wanted

to come here, Carrie.

l hoped l'd get

a chance to talk to you,

but l don't know.

Don't get panicky.

Who's panicky?

Let's look at these pretty

doodads over here.

Let's go inside.

CLERK:
Howdy, folks.

What can l do for you?

KlD:
We're just

looking around...

CARRlE:
We're looking

for some jewelry, please.

Oh, jewelry. Yes.

Just one minute, please.

You see, our... Our
