chance. Take your bag, step out and start walking.

All right. One more thing. Three men were with me that

day when I made plans to grab that engine and flats.

Riika, Pauquette and Veazie. Riika

I'd trust with my life...

Veazie? What've you got

to say for yourself?

We hear you've no money - we worry.

It's foolish to work for nothing.

Who says you are?

It's true he has no money.

If it's not, he must pay us today! Punch

her out for anyone who says so. Veazie?

I am happy with you, monsieur.

Espece de maudit!

C'est tout ainsi, bete!

Monsieur d'ennui,

la blame passe a moi!

Pay him off.

No, monsieur, I was wrong.

Double pay for everyone the minute

the log drive is finished.

I am sorry I had to act so bad. But, French, we are

proud of our heritage. We must protect our good name.

He's crazy. It was our duty

to make him take the blame.

Let's start logging!

If Brunner does not kill us all.

How's it look up the creek? Water'll be at

the top of the dam in a few days. That's great.

We'll raft them right down to the mill.

Is that Brunner gonna get a headache!

Oh, Mr Jingles, sing it for us.

I shouldn't do that to Napoleon.

All right.

WOMEN:
Aw! Just a

minute. I'm not finished.

Glad you could get here, Poole.

Go into the Belle and have a drink.

You'll get your instructions

at Talka. All right, Mr Brunner.

Senorita, I'm crazy for you.

Crazy? Crazy?

Tonto! Tienes piedras en la cabeza.

Huh? That means

you've got rocks in your head.

Those men that just left, are they new

engineers? No, ma'am. Powder monkeys.

Why bring them in from the outside? Every

logger I ever knew could handle dynamite.

This is different. The boss of that

gang, a fella named Poole, he's an expert.

I've heard of him. What's the job?

Hit the dam where Chipman's

building up water for his drive.

You've got to get up awfully early to

put anything over Mr Brunner, don't you?

Nobody can get up that early.

Lynne!

Oh, so that's the way we are today.

We're nowhere, Croft, and we're not going to be.

Those eight men that got off the boat, what's that for?

Lynne, darling, do I ever tell you how to run the

Belle? Don't tell me how to run MY show. That's fair.

Dynamiters and gunfighters.

Why can't you stop?

If Chipman gets those logs down the stream, he'll

have done what he set out to do. Do you want that?

This country is big enough for everybody to

share. I won't let anyone take this from me!

I'll be the number-one man wherever

I am. Don't tell me what to do!

Lynne... Lynne, what's the matter?

YOU killed him.

YOU killed my father!

Where are you going, Lynne?

You murdered him as you did Tim's

father, as you're trying to murder Tim.

Give me the hat, Lynne, You're not

getting out of here with evidence.

You're bluffing, Lynne. You haven't got what

it takes to kill a man. Don't make me prove it.

Give me the gun! And the hat!

I heard a shot... Keep an eye on the

Tilton place. Let me know when she leaves.

Get Jingles on the phone.

Tell him to bring the carriage.

Miss Lynne just drove out.

She's headed upcountry.

Let's roll. Call Talka. Tell Ed Bush to get

a team ready and to look out for Lynne Tilton.

Miss Lynne drove through. You drive.

We're heading for Chipman. I'll show you.

See him yet? No, not yet.

Hah!

Hah!

Pauquette,

is Tim Chipman at Chilco?

No, he's with the logging train

at the lake.

Better hurry, Miss Lynne.

I'll go down to the lake. If Mr Brunner comes,

tell him I went with Jingles. Oui, mademoiselle.

Whoa, boy! Whoa!

The buggy's on the way to Chilco.

Mademoiselle Tilton went to the lake

by the trail.

You go with Poole. Follow the road. Meet me

at the old Blackwater camp. Oui, monsieur.

Stop her.

Tim, Croft brought in Poole

and a gang of dynamiters

to blast out your river dam

so you can't get your logs down.

Where is Brunner?

Back in the woods with a rifle.

He tried to kill me, because I found

out... You found out that he killed Swifty.

Your papa always said... The only

way to beat Brunner was to kill him.

All right, Lynne, you stay here.

Riika will take care of you.

I won't be long. No, Tim...

No, I... I can't lose you any more.

You couldn't lose me if you wanted to.

Is that six-shooter loaded? No,

it's empty. Take this. Wait here.

What you hear, Riika?

Nothing, I guess.

Ole! Ja? Where did Miss Lynne go?

Don't know.

She was there on ground.

She got to Chipman. He's in the woods with a rifle.

Poole, come with me. Pauquette, cut in behind him.

Brunner's dead.

You're Poole. That's right, sir.

Get out!

Ole, who killed Tim's papa?

Brunner. They had fight.

Brunner beat him like he beat me.

Mr Chipman was old man...

and he died.

The Vermilion Belle takes pleasure in presenting the

new owner of the Vermilion Belle - Mr Jingles!
