When the Daltons Rode Page #6

Well, it did look like him,

anyway.

Come on, Ozark.

Get him out of here.

But I'll eat my shirt

if that ain't Ozark Jones!

Well, that may not be Ozark Jones,

but that's my horse!

I hope you can swim.

Come on!

Stop the train!

- What happened?

- The Daltons!

- They got the gold.

- They took our horses.

Eh. Well, you fellers

saved the train, anyway.

Whoa. There you are, ma'am.

- Thank you.

- Hey!

- Ma!

- Julie, darlin'! Oh, my dear.

Oh, it's like old times

seein' you again.

- I came just as soon as I got your message.

- I knew you would.

- That's all right. It's me brother Tim.

- How do.

You've had news, Ma?

Bob came home

night before last.

You mean he's there now?

Don't you want to see him, Julie?

Oh, Ma, I don't mean

to seem heartless, but...

so many things have happened.

Don't worry, darlin'.

I understand.

I'm just sorry

I brought you clear out here.

No, darling. I'll see him.

Thanks.

Giddyap.

- How is Tod, Julie?

- He's fine.

Though he's been awfully busy.

Spends most of his time in Kansas City.

Still trying to help my boys?

He's never given up hope, Ma.

He's such a good friend...

but I'm afraid it's too late, darlin'.

- Julie!

- Hello, Bob.

- Howdy, Miss Julie!

- Remember me?

- Hello, stranger. Clem Wilson.

- It's nice to see you all again.

Now she's seen the outside.

I want to talk to her alone.

- Oh, I catch on.

- See you later.

- I'll be upstairs if you want me.

- Thanks, Ma.

It's been kind of tough on you,

hasn't it, Julie?

Well, I guess we showed them

they picked on the wrong family.

Bob, we'd better have a talk.

I know what you're gonna say, but don't let it

worry you. This outlaw business is all finished.

The boys are going to California,

and you and I will go to South America.

Bob, there's something

you've got to hear. I'm not going.

So we'll go to California with Grat and

Emmett, or anyplace else you want to go.

- You've got to listen to me.

- I forgot how dark your hair was.

And your eyes,

they are like sapphires.

Don't you understand, Bob?

I'm not going with you.

- What's the matter? You scared?

- You know it isn't that.

What's to stop us?

Are you trying to tell me-

Nah. Nobody'd try to play my hand.

You're just scared.

Did it ever occur to you

that I might've changed?

- What do you mean?

- I don't love you, Bob.

- I'm not sure I ever did.

- Come on. Let's hear the rest of it.

No matter what you think, what's

happened to you has nothing to do with it.

Oh, I wanted to tell you before

Ben's trial. Tod wouldn't let me.

- Uh-huh. Tod Jackson!

- Wait a second!

Ma!

Do you think he'll go for it?

- Why not?

- Where are you going?

- I've got something to attend to.

Look, if I'm not back tonight, don't wait for

me. I'll meet you in Denver at the Mountain Hotel.

Wait a minute, Bob.

Me and the boys have been talkin'.

How about taking over the bank

in town before we split up?

- Nothing to it, Bob.

- I told you we were through, didn't I?

Now, get out of here

the way we planned- all of you.

- I still think we're crazy to pass it up.

- So do I.

It'll be a long time before we're this

close to the old home town again.

- Uh, Bob says we're through.

- But why?

- It's a shame to leave all that money down there.

- Yeah.

- That town owes us plenty.

- It sure does.

It sounds good, but what

about Bob's orders?

He won't even know about it

till we give him his share.

What about it?

Sure is a pretty girl

works in that bank.

Come in.

Hello, Jackson.

Come in. Come in.

Been up to the capital, I hear.

Did you also hear I found

what I was looking for?

Oh, you mean the Kansas Land and Development

Company. Yes, I did. Uh, sit down, sit down.

You covered up pretty cleverly with your holding

company, dummy directors and Rigby, didn't you?

They all served their purpose.

And a very profitable purpose,

I might add. Have a cigar.

You mean the railroad that's taken

that land off your hands for a right of way.

- You know everything, don't you?

- Including something you overlooked.

Did you ever hear of

a federal grand jury, Winters?

Oh-ho! You're wasting your time.

I've faced lots of them.

You should know it takes years

for those fellows to vote on indictment.

Well, there's one jury that won't be out

long when they get this information.

Drop in any time, Jackson.

And they have a price too.

But, uh, you won't like paying it.

Ring the sheriff's office.

Quick!

Where are they?

Right! Bill! George!

Bob! Have you gone

completely crazy?

- This town's swarming with marshals.

- You're awful worried about me, ain't ya?

Why didn't you stay where you were?

I would have come, had you sent for me.

I bet you would. Well, I couldn't wait.

I just had to see you.

- Well, I have news for you.

- Yeah?

Something that might give your boys

a chance to come back.

I've found out Caleb Winters is head of the

Kansas Land and Development Company.

That's fine. There wouldn't be anything

personal you want to tell me, would there?

- What?

- You've been doing all right for yourself, haven't you?

- Stop that!

- He's gonna get what's comin'to him!

- You beast! Have you no decency left?

- Shut up!

- You can't control our lives!

- Shut up and get out! - Bob!

- You keep out of this, Ma!

- Keep out of it?

Keep out of it, you say?

That's just the trouble.

I've kept out of it too long.

But when you turn on the only two friends

you've left in the world, then I'm gonna-

- Shut up! I know what I'm doin'!

- Son!

Oh, son, what have you come to?

That's not your son, Ma.

Your son would've understood

that when Tod and I fell in love...

we could no more help ourselves than

he could help what's happened to him.

- Your son would've understood that, Ma.

- Oh, Bob.

You can't make your own laws.

Why don't you go away

and leave us alone?

Do you hear me? Leave us alone!

Funny how things

get twisted, ain't it?

Oh, Bob.

Nobody leave this room!

Julie, will you tell Tod I'm sorry?

- I will, Bob.

- Son!

It's all right, Ma.

Don't worry.

There's Bob!

Keep him covered!

- Bob!

- I'm all right.

- Lot of smart boys, aren't you?

- Well, we just-

- Never mind. Where are the horses?

- In the alley.

All right. Look out.

I'm comin' in.

Grat! I'll try it first.

Give me one of your guns.

- Let me go!

- Shut up. Let me have it.

- All right.

- Go ahead. What are you waiting for?

- Emmett!

- Get goin'.

Get over there!

Well, Ozark Jones! I've been waiting

to get my hands on you-

- Nancy! Not now, Nancy!

- Well, you want to be a bandit, do ya?

- Let go of my- - Put that gun

down before I pin your ears back!

Nancy!

Oh, Nancy, I'm sorry.

Honest, I didn't mean to do it, Nancy!

But I'm in an awful h-

Ozark!

This is no good.

We're gonna have to make a run for it.

- How about you, Grat?

- I can make it.

All right. Hey, Clem. Come down here

where I can get ahold of you.

All right.

Ready? Come on!

Go on! I'm all right!

Go on, Emmett!
