Harry Tracy: The Last of the Wild Bunch (1982) - full transcript

By the year 1900, Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, John Wesley Hardin, and virtually all of the West's legendary outlaws are either dead or in jail pending execution-all of them, that is, except train robber and escape artist extraordinaire, Harry Tracy. As the last survivor of the Wild Bunch, Tracy pulls off a series of profitable robberies before making his way west to Portland, Oregon, in search of Catherine Tuttle, a judge's daughter who has captured his heart. Instead, Tracy is betrayed, arrested, and imprisoned. But no jail can hold him for long. After making his escape, Tracy becomes the target of the largest manhunt in the history of North America. He seeks out Catherine who joins him in his flight, and their love deepens under the constant threat of capture. With hundreds of posses and national guardsmen on their heels, Tracy knows that time is running out-and when it does, there will only be two options: surrender or die...

Hey!

What the..

Music.

Damn Nate,

he did it again!

[gunshots firing].

Music.

If I didn't have

bad luck,

I wouldn't have

any luck at all.



Look, why don't you look

where you're going?!

Lord, you're the prettiest

thing I ever saw.

What's your name?

It's Harry Tracy,

the desperado.

That's already killed

20 men.

Well, that's not right,

ma'am.

As far as I could count,

there's only, uh...

1...2...



8!

Hey, Morrie!

You ain't mad

are you?

Hold it!

I'm the Sheriff here

and this man is my prisoner.

Just who the hell are you,

anyway?

I'm Morrie Nathan,

United States Marshall

for the Utah.

You should've been

expecting me.

I'm gonna take this man

back to the penitentiary.

It's good I came by

when I did

or he wouldn't be

anybody's prisoner,

now would he?

Hey! No pictures!

No pictures!

Get that thing out of here.

Hold on now, Morrie.

Let's just wait one minute.

You shouldn't be taking

all the credit for this.

If I hadn't stolen a horse.

Damn gun-

see?

He admits it now,

you hear?

Now, if I'd have my rifle-

any man who's stealing

on Christmas Eve,

ain't got no decency,

and should be strung up

pretty damn quick.

Heard you about hanging me

and it's Christmas.

Shut up, Harry, or else.

I said, he's my prisoner.

Boys don't start now.

You let him break out.

He got out

of your penitentiary first.

I could've had him

in North Dakota.

Show me a warrant, boy!

What you say your name was?

She's Catherine.

I'm her sister, Judy.

We're from Portland.

That's in Oregon.

Portland? Way out there.

You know what I always want

to do?

I always wanted to get me

on a boat and go for a ride

on the ocean.

Have you ever been

in the ocean?

Cate, man's a primitive.

I've read he eats babies.

IWell, that's only cause.

they're so tender, ma'am.

Don't fret on him.

They were just Indian babies.

TheYou know what I'm goinges.

to do the time next time

I break out?

I'm going to come

see you Kate, in Portland,

Oregon.

Up you, come on.

Well, look at here Tracy.

Look at here!

Here's your ugly face

right in front page.

Bet you hear her

being a young wench.

It says Catherine Tuttle,

daughter of recently

deceased federal court judge

Benjamin Tuttle,

Portland, Oregon,

was instrumental

in the apprehension

of famed outlaw,

Harry Tracy.

That's the newspaper people.

Reporters, I don't know

how they do it

but every single time

they get there.

Let me see it, Morrie.

This can't be

a Tuttle now,

she's much too famed

for the likes of you.

Morrie, let me see it.

Judge's daughter.

Ain't that pathetic.

Are you the one?

Are you responsible for this?

Yeah.

But, but ma'am,

that picture, your picture

will be on the front page

of papers from New York

to San Francisco.

Most folks would tickle

death to get their picture

in the paper.

Well, I am not one of them.

Besides,

I had no more to do

with apprehending him

than you did.

It's all lies.

You call him

a mad dog killer.

Yeah, when he could've

harmed us.

He did nothing.

He could've taken us

hostage

or raped us.

Why didn't you get a picture

of that marshall trying to...

I think he hit this man

over the head instead of

this.

But, miss,

I can't take pictures

while people are moving.

No,no,no,no,no.

That's quite enough

squabbling.

My daughter is quite capable

of making up her own mind

and I'm afraid

you'll just have to abide

by her decision.

You're ashamed, ma'am.

I mean, everyone can see

how Tracy was real taken

with her.

Now, your daughter

could become

a celebrity

practically overnight.

I mean to say

we all know how outlaws

get even more famous

once they're dead.

What do you mean dead?

Tracy wasn't

that severely injured.

Besides, they've taken him

to prison, not to the gallows.

Well, if that marshall

has his way.

I reckon Tracy won't

make it back to prison

this time.

Supposedly he caused

trouble again

and now they got him

staked out behind the jail

in his long underwear.

Another hour,

he'll be frozen to death.

They can't do that.

No, they can't.

Good lord,

what have they've done?

He's still breathing,

mother.

Ladies, just who the hell

are you?

Who would it be

that I know the law

better than you do, Sheriff?

This is a criminal act

This isfor whichal act

you could be jailed.

Now, you get this man

unshackled and inside

before he perishes.

The Marshall's doing, ma'am

not mine.

And being Federal Marshall,

oh well, that means he's got

more authority than I do.

And well, it means

he's got the keys too.

I see.

But where is this Marshall

then?

[door opens].

What the hell?

We haven't time

for pleasantries, Marshall.

for pIf you don't comehall.

and take your prisoner inside

you'll have his murder

on your hands.

And I can assure you

I will press charges myself.

And who the devil are you

to be telling me what to do?

I am the widow

of a federal court judge.

And as such I still know

who to go to

in order to have

your hide.

We can start

with the Governor,

if you wish.

[bells ringing]

I am not sure

how I'm gonna thank you

for all you've done for me.

I won't forget you.

I I think perhaps

it might be best

if you didn't.

What in the hell

is the matter with you?

Didn't you even think

to take your hat off

for a lady?

I don't ever take

my hat off.

And sure enough

not for some soft-hearted

meddling woman.

[water splashing].

Music.

We better go

check the cars.

Pretty girl like you

ought to be waiting

on a new year at a party,

don't you think?

You sure don't say much,

do you?

I can never think

of anything to say.

Or you could say

you'll remember me.

You could say that,

one time.

I will remember you.

Happy New Year,

Catherine Tuttle.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year, Harry Tracy.

Make a wish.

Music.

I've got to use

the facility.

Nothing fancy, huh.

Only one way I know

how to do it, Morrie.

[knocking on door]

Hey Tracy!

Don't go falling asleep

in there.

Put them down.

Put them down!

Now, who's in the box car?

Two boys watching

the horses.

They don't even got guns.

I have every reason

to blow you to kingdom come,

Morrie.

But I never shot a man yet,

who wasn't defending himself,

and I ain't about to start

right now.

Now, you got off here

I guess that means

this is your stop.

Now, turn around single file

and start walking.

All of you.

It's a long way

to Utah, Morrie.

Single file that way.

Come on, keep going.

Right behind him.

Start trotting.

Trot!

Don't look back.

Music.

Take this train

up the track and don't stop

until you got a least

ten miles, alright?

[gunshot firing].

Music.

Happy new year, boys!

Make a wish!

Music.

Who are you?

Who am i?

The question is

who the hell are you?

I'm Harry Tracy.

Tracy?

You are Tracy.

I'm Dave Merril.

I didn't ask you

what your name was.

I asked you who you were?

I'm a painter.

I come all this way to paint

this country side

and famous outlaws,

just like you.

You look like you could use

a little warm food

and a fire, Harry.

Won't you come to the cabin.

Nobody calls me Harry

but my mama.

She's in Indiana.

Music.

Where is everybody?

Where's all the boys?

I guess you aint heard.

They're all gone.

All of them.

There's nobody here
but me.

I came here to paint them

but there's nobody's here.

Music.

You're really a painter?

Yeah.

A good one too.

Pays none too sweet.

PayA couples timest.
I'd have to do

a little fast business

to get some money.

But I'll tell you something,

Harry.

I think the world

should see a portrait

of you done by me.

That's what I think.

Something else

I'd be real honored.

I could ride with you too.

Well, a little portrait's

just fine.

Riding with me south,

I don't want you dead.

And I sure as hell

don't need you.

I'm sorry.

I've come a long way

I swear.

And I got nowhere else

to go.

You know what year it is?

1900.

Oh that means,

is it taking a more

wild bunch to joing up with?

All that's left is

ten horned politicians,

government bootlickers,

hired law.

There's no more outlaws

left, David.

It's over.

That's over.

Even for portraits.

None left.

That actually means

that's there's

not gonna be

anymore Americans left.

And you know

what else it means?

You gotta be a painter.

Cause David Merrill,

you sure as hell can't cook.

[gunshots]

What are you doing?

[gunshot firing].

Killing my horse.

Do you suppose we could do

another one for my ma?

She's the only body

I ever been partial to

in my life.

She's the tickle pink.

You really wannna rob banks,

Dave?

Uh-hmmm.

You know what they'd do

to you if they catch you?

No, what do they do?

Hang yah.

It appears not easy even

getting that right.

They tried doing the job

on a poor, old,

black jack ketchum,

and they waited

to speak down some bad,

that they tore his head

clean off his shoulders.

I'd think it over, Dave.

It could be a mighty plate.

I can't wait anymore.

Well, you are a hell

of a painter.

Yes, you're David Merrill.

You are pretty damn good.

Hah!

One a hell of a painter.

It appears as though

you'll be riding out

pretty soon, Harry.

We should think about

taking me along.

I'd like to ride with you.

I'm a good hand.

Yeah.

You damn never married

your hand, this one.

It's probably why

you can hardly see.

No, wait a minute.

I can see as good as you,

and you know it.

Oh really?

You razed a bank?

Razed a bank? Sure.

A couple.

You better not eat this.

That's pure bull,

and you know it.

The only thing you ever

razed in your life

was your pants.

David...

You are surely

the mold on the market.

Any man so desperate

being an outlaw,

there ain't hardly

none left.

There's a hand up.

Besides,

you ain't got much

of a future as a painter.

You said so yourself.

You'll make

a pathetic outlaw.

But I'll be there.

Okay?

You just keep driving this

until we a pond.

Jumping off to the right.

We got the horses there.

Keep this thing going

until I tell you to stop.

Then you stop, alright?

Music.

Boys...

You can tell him

Harry Tracy is back.

Music.

Alright! This is it!

Stop!

Music.

Go get at the ledge.

Keep going! Come on!

Music.

[gunshots].

Come on.

My glasses.

I can't hit them?

Come on, get in the woods.

[gunshots].

I'll shoot them.

You get in the woods!

Get in the woods!

[gunshots].

Help me off

with my boots.

I thought I was gonna die

on that train.

Some robber, you are.

Here, the other one.

What a gunman!

Well, ain't that funny.

I could've lost my glasses

permanent.

Where's the money?

What money?

Oh, didn't you see, huh?

OWhile you were helping?

the engineer

drive that train,

I had the chance,,

to spend it.

Take my boots, come on.

This way so we won't

be seen.

We got to hurry up.

Get around there.

Behind the horses. Go.

Just go over there.

Come on, boy.

Let's go.

Come on, little boy.

Get on that train

with me, boy.

Good boy.

Come on

we'll get some horses.

Come oN. Come on, now.

We got horses over there.

Hey!

Excuse me.

But they split up.

One went that way.

The other one over there

in the woods.

Yah. Yah. Yah.

Harry,

that was some slick.

That was some slick.

Well, David,

that's more than

I can say for you.

You know, I got a certain

kind of reputation

to uphold.

I can't continue to tolerate

this kind of rat hole

incompetence.

Word is gonna get around.

Why is it my fault

some fool

pull the emergency switch.

It wasn't my personal doing.

Wait a minute.

Forgive me.

There is one good thing

about banks.

They ain't moving

when you're robbing them.

Come on.

Music.

Okay. Everybody.

This here is a raid.

Don't nobody move nothing,

know how.

You sure got

impeccable grammar,

you know that?

For goodness sake.

You can't rob my bank.

This is the 20th century.

I'm Harry Tracy.

This is David Merrill.

I presume that you're

the manager.

- Is that correct?

- Yes.

We're not actually

robbing your bank.

We're making what

you might refer to as

forced withdrawal.

But we haven't been robbed

since '87.

Well!

Don't you think it's time

you were?

Don't you want to make

few headlines, huh?

You know what this is,

right here?

Nitroglycerin!

And there's enough in this

little vial that I have here

to blow us off,

him and me and my

fellow Dave here

and all of you fine

progressive folks from here

to smithereens!

Oh, no!

Music.

Come on, Harry.

Let's go.

Oops. Make a wish.

My god!

A robber came up!

You know, Sheriff,

we could look from

hell of correction

I can't find a sign

on those two.

Little wonder that Tracy

knows all there is to know

about running.

But what if he should

come back?

You know I got to mind

payrolls coming in

at the end of the week.

Burchill, you'll be out

of the territory

by tomorrow morning,

either in Utah or Colorado

just as far away

as you can get.

Skemp.

Here, Skemp.

Hey, Skemp.

That's a good watch dog. Yeah.

You've earned your reward,

yeah.

Come on.

Let's go for a walk.

Atta boy.

Oh, god! It's them.

The Sheriff said he wasn't

gonna come back here again.

I chose you wish it's not.

I'm ready for you

this time.

You better not try anything.

He's viscious.

Sick him.

Sick him, Skemp.

Turn him into pieces.

[dog barking]

Well, he...

He's...Usually vicious.

Usually

Good dog, Skemp. Yes!

Must be his day-off

from viciousness, huh?

No siree.

You're not going to fool me

with that.

Sir, I would never be

fooling you, would i?

Not again.

Not on this day.

[bomb explosion].

[coughs].

Holy Jesus!

You portlets.

[coughs].

Come on. Come on boy.

Let's go home. Harry's gone.

Come on now.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Dave!

Somebody's got backbone

around here.

[coughs].

Music.

Harry, we're going to ride

all the way

to pacific ocean.

Yeah.

But first I got a little

score to settle

with a fellow.

But it's actually on the way.

Uhh, I'm sick of potion.

Harry, who lives here?

Morrie Nathan.

He's a united states

Marshall.

Morrie Nathan.

I've heard of him.

He's supposed to be kind of

a mean bull, isn't he?

What are you going to do?

Kill him.

Worse.

Ahh!

Hi, Morrie.

Well, I might've known

it would be you.

And who's that laughing

hyena you got with you?

You better shut your mouth,

lawman, because if I put

some holes in you,

you're gonna sink quicker.

Word I get is you've been

busy lately.

That the way of it?

No, not really.

Actually, Dave and I were just

kinda passing by and figured

that we'd pay you a visit.

You know,

use the old facility.

Especially, as how I recollect

a few months back,

you tried to

freeze me out, Morrie.

We're standing here

to your own waste

and your own poo.

And far to say as being

froze out,

but it'll have to do

until next time.

The next time, it will be

when I catch you, Tracy

cause I swear, I will.

But I'll tell you something.

I ain't never seen

a dead lawman catch anything

but flies.

[gunshot].

Don't you ever do anything

like that when you're with me

again, you understand that?

I never drew down on a man

in my life

unless he had a fair chance.

Now put that

in your holster.

Put it away.

I'll tell you something.

How is it that

whenever a body needs

a photographer,

they never seem

to be around.

Well sir, what do you think?

Well, now Harry.

Somehow, I thought it'll be

a little bit bigger.

You figure?

What's the hell's the matter

with you, boy?

When we get to Portland,

they got banks,

and trains there too

and I got a young lady

with a smile.

Music.

I gotta get me

one of those

new pocket watches.

What are we gonna to do now?

Well, first off,

we're gonna find out

where she lives.

Then, maybe we rob a bank

and have some money. Okay?

I maybe taking my life

with my hand,

but let me ask

you something.

You gotta stream on.

If you don't know

where she lives,

what you gonna do, ask them?

I'm a sweetheart. Alright?

There's something special.

That's what screws up

people.

I mean, that don't reflect

good on earth, I'm wandering

around town and people

are thinking, Harry Tracy

is asking where she lives.

They got a phone company,

let's peek on their books.

Would you like

a ride down, sir?

No, no. Go ahead.

If you have the phone number,

If youthey'll give younumber,
the address.

If you have the address,

If ythey'll give youess,

the phone number.

If you don't have

either one,

they ain't going to give you

either one.

Pathetic.

Got a paper boy?

Yup.

What you want it for?

Two cents.

Atta, boy.

Thank you, sir.

Paper!

Listen to this.

Notorious desperado,

Harry Tracy held up

Youth County Bank

in Bellfoot South Dakota

on saturday making off

over 8,000

in hard currency.

What does it say about me?

Couldn't say.

Either one of us was there.

What's the matter with you?

Oh, I held that bank up.

Scary. Three years ago.

Alright.

But isn't this

how you get famous

isn't this you get

written up?

No, it isn't!

And I'm sick and tired

of people doing this to me

saying that I did things

for I never was.

I'm gonna to stop it.

What if Catherine heard

something like this?

What is she supposed

to think?

Officer, you don't know

a good lawyer in town,

do you?

Certainly, sir.

Raymond millhouse.

He's the best in state.

Where is he at?

He's just down the street.

Big bay window

is his office.

Some people say

he's gonna be

our next Governor.

Thank you.

Now then, just

what is it

that you wish me to do

about this, Mr. Tracy?

I want you to write out

a sworn statement

that I'm sitting right here

in your office,

in this chair this morning,

so as they'll all know

that there's no way

that I could've been

the one that razed that bank

back in Dakota.

Then I want you

to take this statment

down to the newspaper

and make sure

that they print it.

And you can say that I was

holding a gun on you

if you want.

But you're not holding

a gun on me, are you,

Mr. Tracy?

Well now, that could be

arranged big'o.

I'm taking a risk

coming here to you.

But then

I'm not running

for Governor, am i?

Folks around here are saying

that raymond millhouse

is gonna be

the next Governor.

Policeman told me that

down the street.

You need publicity.

You need money.

How much?

Well, there's a risk.

Beyond the matter

of compromising

my principles.

The cost would be

considerable.

Tell me,

is your reputation worth

that much to you, Mr. Tracy?

My reputation to me

is worth everything.

And I might add

a hell of a lot more

than yours will ever be

to you.

Now you just tell me

how much.

Ten thousand.

Are you asking me

for $10,000?

$10,000.

I, I don't have $10,000.

I got about

six-sixty five hundred.

Dave, loan me $3,500.

Hell, no.

Now, Harry, I'm not getting

involved in a fool play

like this.

Now, I'd like to see my name

in the papers.

It don't matter to me

whether I razed that bank

or not.

No!

Ten thousand, Mr. Tracy

or we have nothing more

to talk about.

Get your pen out.

Start swearing out

the statement.

I'll go down

and borrow the money.

Music.

Could you give me

a little bit more?

Atta, boy.

Get it.

Here you go, son.

Look, walk on that side

of the street.

I'll meet you at

the lawyer's office.

thI'm running away..

Hide it.

Hey, did you see that?

Music.

Follow the trolley

and you're not gonna

get hurt.

Come on, take this thing

around the corner.

Around the corner!

Alright, alright.

Whatever you say.

Catherine!

Catherine!

Catherine!

Cath-

Catherine!

Catherine!

Hold or I'll shoot!

Catherine!

Officer, i, I was just

chasing after the trolley.

Yeah, I waS...

On my way to make

a deposit.

That's him.

That's Harry Tracy.

Tell it to the judge.

Harry Tracy,

you are hereby sentenced

to 20 years confinement

in the state penitentiary.

David Felix Merill,

you are duly sentenced

to 13 years in the same

institution.

Did you hear, Mr. Tracy?

Yes, sir. I heard you.

I heard every word

you said.

I want you to know

it was my fault

that we got caught.

It wasn't this man's.

And I would also

like you to know

that it don't matter

whether you lock me up

for one day or 20 years.

It will all feel exactly

the same to me.

[gavel pounding].

[chains clinking].

[hammer pounding].

I'm up!

[hammer pounding].

[rumbling].

[thud].

Harry, these hands

are not doing much painting

anymore.

Have you noticed?

You haven't noticed.
You know why?

You son of-just because

of you I'm in here!

You are really pathetic,

David.

Hey, hey.

Yours is coming!

Music.

My love for you

is as wild and true

as the wind over the sea

on winter nights

so bleak and cold

it always will remain

on summer eves

when the breeze

whispers your name

like a star of this

I'll be singing

oh with you

I will spend every evening

and my love

like the light above

shall shine eternally

at the end of time

you'll still be mine

and I'll be here with thee

music.

[horse galloping].

How are you?

You finally got

the smell off,

did you, Morrie.

You did it coming here,

Harry.

What are you doing

around here?

I was out here on business

and I heard that nobody

comes to visit you

for a while

and I just thought

I'd pop in

and pay a little

social call.

Looks like

you've been doing

quite a bit of popping

on muffins.

Couple of lbs there

you stored down there.

Well, that's because

I haven't had you

to chase around

for the last 2 years,

Harry.

You're starting to look

a little bit

like an impregnated woman

there, Morrie.

What do you think?

I'm told you've been

acting a bit like woman

yourself lately,

haven't tried to break one.

When I break, Morrie,

I reckon you'll be the first

to know.

Yeah, I know.

I'd come running too.

And if I may,

you're gonna let up

until I kill you.

Morrie,

it's a pretty big word

for you. Kill.

You better be able

to back up what you say.

tYou know what I think,.

Morrie?

I think you better

make a wish.

[rumbling].

Wanna bust out?

I found that the warden

can be bought.

I told him we had 12,000

hidden in the woods.

Boy, he was caught.

And that we would be

more than glad

to give it to him

if he shoved us out.

All the way out.

See them pattern marks?

SeeThere's gonna berks?
two shotguns in.

When the warden comes by,

we can snip him up.

We'll take him out.

We'll strike him out.

Cleaning up here.

You'll have to bring me

some more.

Okay.

Don't think about it

too long.

Everybody knows Harry Tracy

can't be kept in a cage

like a common animal.

Me, I'm a painter, my talent,

I'm not dying here

in this sweatbox.

Come on, we got to do it.

I've been in here

long enough.

We'll go for it.

You're going to have

to bring me some more of this.

Sure.

Neither shotgun will have

live shells in them.

That way, once we get

in the yard, you and me

can drop down.

My men will get a clear shot

at Tracy.

Alright.

Just so as your men know

which side I'm on.

Sure.

And I get a pardon.

I get a full pardon.

It's already been arranged

with the new Governor.

You got my word.

That'll teach him

to run.

Visitor for Tracy.

Let's just tell the Marshall

I don't want to see him

again.

It's not the Marshall.

He didn't come along.

How's your family?

My mother's fine.

Judy got married

last spring.

Sh-she's very happy.

How about you,

are you happy?

Oh, I don't have any plans

to get married.

That'll be quite a while.

Why did you

come here?

I could ask you

why you came

to Portland.

But I think the reason

are the same.

The judge at your trial

is a known friend

of the family.

And I've been talking to him

about reducing your sentence

and I think

if you'll promise not to

attempt an escape...

Catherine,

please don't ask me

to do that.

I can't promise you that.

As soon as I see we're clear

I'm gone.

You onced promised me

that you will come

and see me.

I cross my heart.

[rumbling].

Drop your gun better

or they'll kill me .

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

Harry, the shotgun.

Use the shotgun.

It's better.

I got a rifle.

I don't need a shotgun.

Come on, the keys.

Hey, get the keys.

Open it up.

[keys jingling].

Get down. Both of you.

Step out of this joint,

you're both dead.

Don't fire!

They'll kill me!

Do whatever they say!

Go ahead shoot.

[gunshots].

Don't fire for god's sake!

They'll kill me!

Throw them down!

Throw your rifles down!

All of you! Come on!

Music.

Open it up.

Come on, come on.

[gate opens].

And we're headed

to the door

slowly, slowly, slowly,

slowly.

Open up.

[gate opens].

[keys jingling].

Spikey,

you knew you all the time!

[gunshot ].

Music.

with you, man?

We don't do things like that.

Music.

[gunshots].

Music.

[dogs barking].

Music.

Mrs. Tuttle!

Harry Tracy.

I just had to come

see her, ma'am.

I understand.

Have you eaten?

Come inside.

Really?

I always thought

that I liked it.

I'll buy me a house

and then paper swirls

with bank notes.

Then invite me a

banker over for dinner.

And I'd watch him choke

when he comes through

the door.

God, that would be worse

to him than paint the place

with his own blood.

Where did you get the money?

First stop

in the post office

yesterday.

You got to have work

around money nowadays.

It sure as hell

ain't that good

like the old days.

[horse trotting].

[horse snorting].

They said you escaped

with another man.

Where is he now?

Dave Merrill.

Yeah, he's...

A few miles from here,

in a graveyard.

He's dead?

[laughs].

He's a pretty

marginal fellow, David,

but he ain't dead.

You know graveyard's

a good place to hide out

because you'll never

look there if you're

going to take and find

anything alive.

[knocking].

The men are coming.

Music.

Get in the house.

Music.

You don't have the right

to enter our home this way.

Please leave at once.

Well, if you're not

hiding him,

I'm sure you won't mind us

looking around a bit.

He's absolutely right,

mother.

We have nothing to hide,

Marshall.

You're welcome to look.

Marshall!

Marshall, up here quick!

Music.

There he goes.

He's down on the ground!

He's there by the river!

Music.

[horse galloping].

Music.

[rifle cocking].

[horses galloping].

Come on, come on!

Oh!

[horse galloping].

[rifle cocking].

Cut the wire, son.

And get on down here.

What do you think?

Well, I think

you ought to button

your fly.

You go ahead

and put these clothes on

if you'd like to, son.

But I wouldn't recommend it.

But IWhy don't you taked it.

your wagon and go on home.

[rifle cocking].

And when you get there,

you tell your folks

that Tracy treated you

decently.

Cause you and I

both know, boy, that

I could put a bullet

right between

them crossed eyes,

couldn't I?

I'll tell them, Mr. Tracy.

Giddy up!

[horse snorting].

[horse trotting].

[coughs].

What the hell

is she doing here?

A present.

She got a gun.

We're not safe in these.

They're sniffing around

in these woods real hard.

So we're going to have

Sto move for a couplee

of hours.

Yeah, that's real smart.

If you let me drill him

when I had the chance,

we wouldn't have this problem.

We wouldn't see that warden

chasing us, do you?

Take the blanket.

Let's go.

[horse trotting].

Sit down a minute, Cate.

I'm okay.

It's alright.

Just take a rest.

Sit down right there.

Thank you.

Come on, Harry.

We gotta keep moving.

She's resting.

Resting?

What the hell?

Thanks.

Now, that's real touching.

I always knew you were

a gentleman, Harry.

You know when we share

everything-

Shut up!

We share everything.

Shut up!

She's with me.

I'll be right over here.

That's real good news.

[coughing].

Your friend

is really strange.

Don't worry about him.

He just shoots his mouth off

when he gets scared.

You are with me.

Do you understand that?

Dave?

What?

You want to talk

about this?

Talk about what?

Remember our old friend,

raymond millhouse,

the lawyer in Portland

we got messed up with?

I do.

He's the Governor

now, Dave.

I guess you already knew

that, didn't you?

I did not.

Really?

Did you read that?

What's it say?

Hmmm?

It says

you betrayed me, Dave.

That's what it says.

That you made a deal

with the warden to get me

killed and save your life.

That's why both of you

and the warden panicked

when I went for the rifle

instead of the scattered guns.

That's also why you shot him

before he had a chance

to open his mouth.

Ah, hell.

It's your fault

we got put in prison, Harry.

It's your fault.

You lost your nerve

in that bank raid.

I never lost my nerve.

I was chasing after

Catherine, you know it.

She was on a trolley,

I was trying to catch up

to it.

What the hells the matter

with you?

You never had any respect

for me as a man, Harry

or as his talent.

Ever!

You don't have

any talent, Dave.

People with talent got guts.

You got guts?

Then turn around and walk

10 paces that way.

I'll walk 10 paces this way.

We'll turn around and fire,

fair enough?

Well, you're such a gentleman.

How about 7?

Well, what about one Dave?

Well, wWould that be Dave?

a little better?

Oh, it's loaded. Believe me.

Not like the one

back at the pent.

Count them off.

[rifles cocked].

You're not even fit

to be an outlaw.

Count them off.

1, 2, 3...

Harry!

[gunshot].

Are you alright?

Catherine, are you alright?

We've got to still move

for a couple of hours

before you get down.

Can you do it?

You've gotta do it,

Catherine.

Come on, pick it up.

You'd think he could at least

get us 4 or 5 steps

before he tried something

like that.

Pathetic.

Music.

Could somebody lift
that blanket off his face

so I can get a true likeness

of this historic occurrence?

America will wanna know.

[camera flashes].

[horse snorting].

[train whistles].

[train engine roaring].

Harry!

Harry!

Harry!

Catherine, go home.

[train engine roaring].

You're wrong.

I'm not wrong.

You stay with me,

Yo they're gonna,,

hunt you down

like a dog.

And kill you the same.

Now, go home.

If you stop now,

they'll leave you alone.

Please!

Catherine.

Catherine, the newspaper said

that the Governor has sworn

to bring me down.

There's a 150 men

on the chore everyday

and more is coming

all the time.

Please, please go home.

I, I know

I know Harry

[train whistles].

Oh god!

Are you alright?

I want to come

with you, Harry.

Oh, Catherine.

Listen to me, please.

I want to come with you.

Just listen to me.

I'm wanted in six states,

dead or alive.

This time

it's gonna be dead,

Catherine.

They'll never put me

in another cage

and they'll never ever

gonna hang me.

[horse galloping].

When we were in a bunch,

we took an oath

that if anyone of us

were ever trapped or wounded

and couldn't see our way out

we do it ourselves.

Never let the law.

Not any of them

kept their vow.

But I can tell you

right now, Catherine,

that I'm gonna keep mine.

They'll never gonna take me.

Never!

They'll never

gonna find you.

We're gonna go.

some place safe

[gunshots].

Music.

That's Tracy

and his woman, alright.

He killed two of my men.

He's disappeared

like a puff of smoke.

[axe pounding].

[water splashing].

Slapping the old hog

ey, son?

You are Tracy!

Hey daddy, it's Tracy.

How are you doing?

I'm Harry Tracy.

This is Catherine.

Good afternoon.

Hello.

We'll move on along.

If you're worried

about the danger,

but, we sure

could use a meal.

Now, we insist on paying.

Well, I don't think

paying is the-

I read about you

in herald times.

Pa said I must've

read it a hundred times

already.

Well, look at this.

Three banks and a train

all in one day?

Huh, son, I never did

anything like that.

Didn't your pa tell you

that sometimes stories

in there ain't always

a hundred percent true?

Look at here

at the picture here.

Now, look at me.

Come on,

ain't I better looking

than him?

Yeah.

I'm Ely Porter.

I want you to meet

my wife Helen, my boy Matt,

and my girl, Glendoline.

You're welcome

to sit with us, sir.

Hey, Matt.

We won't have any trouble

paying for the food.

What we have

comes from the soil.

Thank you.

Won't you come in?

You'll be wanting

to wash up.

I think we both

like to wash.

You children stay outside

till I say.

No, no, ma'am.

That's okay.

Let them come on in.

We're gonna move

right along

as soon as we finish

eating

so as not to cause you

any problem.

Every couple of days

a new crowd comes busting

through here

asking if we've seen you.

Huffing and blowing

about how dangerous you are

to every man, woman

and child.

It's a lotta lie

more than I've ever known.

We won't.

We owe it, will we pa?

No, son.

That's between you,

the bank, and the railroad.

They never did anything

for folks like us.

They never will, Ely.

They will never do anything

for folks like you.

Catherine,

these are pretty much worn

but at least you'll have

a change of clothes.

- Oh, thank you very much.

- Good luck to you, Harry.

You've been very kind

to us. Thank you.

Boy, you know what that is?

Yes, sir.

What is it?

A bullet.

And where does it go?

In your gun.

Very good. You want it?

Yes, sir.

Go ahead

but don't ever say

that Harry Tracy

never gave you nothing, okay?

No, sir.

Okay.

You all make a wish now.

Music.

Where do we go from here?

Oh, reaching left to right,

they'll be expecting us

to go either into Canada

or to the ruse.

It's Nathan and his Indian

we got to worry about.

The Governor will be trying

to scrounge out every

lay about and glory secret

he could find.

They're more suited

to shoot each other

in cowardice than they are

at us.

You're the expert.

North or east?

What do you think?

I don't know.

Let's not do either.

Let's go northwest.

Music.

My goodness.

Is that not

the most beautiful thing

you've ever seen

in your life?

Yeah.

It always inspired me.

In the waters,

everything's a test.

Tell me something, Captain.

When you were a boy

did you always dream working

on boats like this?

Come to think of it,

suppose I did.

How about you?

I dreamed of being

an outlaw.

Yes, sir.

I dreamed of being

an outlaw.

Music.

Thank you again

for a wonderful day!

Welcome.

We enjoyed having you.

You take care

of each other now.

[horses galloping].

[laughing].

God damn it.

Hold it.

It tickles, hon.

Oh god,

I'm not gonna

lug you around all day.

My back is killing me.

My Hold your horses.e.

I got another one.

Oh god,

I hope you're gonna pay

for this ride

and maybe a fee.

But it sure as hell

ain't free.

How are you?

Fine.

This your patch?

We thought

probably it was wild.

We didn't see a house

around or anything. So...

Well, it was last year

when I bought the place.

Would you be

Harry Tracy?

All day.

This is Catherine.

My name is Eddie Hoyt.

Pleased to meet you, Eddie.

Shake my gun.

Yes, sir, Eddie.

It looks to me like you got

the makings of a real

fine place here.

It appears to me

like you've done a hell

lot of work for a man

all by himself.

It's hot, hon.

With that barn and all.

I was hoping to finish

that barn in the summer

but I ran out of money.

I'll have to wait

for spring now.

Well, we got plenty

of money.

We'd be glad

to give you enough

to make sure

you could get it finished.

Oh, I couldn't do that.

Oh,You don't know meat.

from a flat rock.

You got no call to be

helping me out

in that fashion.

No, I couldn't do that.

We've got no worthy use

for this, Eddie.

We're actually getting

a little tired

of dragging it all over

the countryside with this too.

Here, it's yours.

Come on.

Carry on.

Good.

Good heavens.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

It's yours.

Now, I'll tell you

what we're gonna do,

Catherine and I.

We're gonna stay here

and help you

till you get that barn

erected.

How's that?

All you got to do is

keep us in food

and real good coffee

and promise

no matter what,

you will tell no one

where we are.

Fair enough?

Oh yeah.

I wouldn't do that.

No, sir.

You're a good man, Eddie.

What do you think, Catherine?

Is that alright with you?

Yes.

Get going, boy.

I think we can trust him.

I mean he...

He's trusting us

with his place.

He leaves us off.

I love you, Harry Tracy.

Scoundrel and bad man

and all-around impostor.

Oh yeah, fooled me

for quite a while,

haven't you?

I love you too,

Catherine Tuttle,

shameless consort

of desperados.

Music.

Welcome back.

That's a heck of a load

of wood.

You know what we can do

first thing in the morning?

We're gonna put some posts

on that barn.

How's that?

Mighty fine.

Music.

[hammering].

Eddie,

just look out there

for a minute.

Don't turn around

but there's a bunch of men

coming up behind us

right now

and they got me

surrounded.

Oh my god.

I didn't do it.

I know.

What?

I know you didn't do it.

I know you didn't

say anything.

I'm gonna go down

real slow.

I want you to come

after me, slow.

Don't panic.

When we get on the ground

you're gonna grab Catherine

and take her into the shed

and keep her there

and you must promise me

you must keep her there

until all the shooting

is over.

Will you do that?

It's a promise.

I'm gonna go first.

Hammer.

Keep hammering.

[hammering].

[horses galloping].

Harry, what's wrong?

Eddie.

Harry?

Music.

[gunshots].

Hey, Morrie,

[gunshots].

Glad you could make it.

[gunshots].

That was an indication

to say I'm over here.

[gunshots].

You guys couldn't empty

our house if you were

sitting there

in your right mind.

[gunshots].

What's the matter?

I'd say the americans

are fantastic except for

Morrie's Indians!

[gunshots].

We got him, boys.

See that?

[yelling].

[gunshots].

I can't stop those morons

shooting.

But if you could talk him

out of that field

I can likely keep him alive.

That isn't what he wants.

Even you must understand

what he's doing, Marshall.

[gunshots].

[panting].

Catherine!

Catherine.

I'm here.

[panting].

Make a wish.

[gunshot].

Hold it.

Hold it.

That's good.

[chattering].

Music.

My love for you

is as wild and true

as the wind over the sea

on winter nights

so bleak and cold

it always will remain

on summer eves

when the breeze

whispers your name

like a star of this

I'll be singing

oh with you

I will spend every evening

and my love

like the light above

shall shine eternally

at the end of time

you'll still be mine

and I'll be here with thee

my love for you

is as wild and true

as the wind over the tide

as it travels 'round

this whole wide world

it gathers seeds of love

through desert sands

through snow and ice

and high up above

it gathers all

the thoughts

of lonely couples

until the cup of love

over bubbles

and with a song

it carries on

through the skies of blue

at the end of time

you'll still be mine

and I'll be here with you

my love for you

is as wild and true

as the wind over the sea

on winter nights

so bleak and cold

it always will remain

on summer eves

when the breeze

whispers your name

like a star of this

I'll be singing

oh if you ever spend

every evening

and my love

like the light above

shall shine eternally

at the end of time

you'll still be mine

and I'll be here with thee
