Once Upon a Texas Train (1988) - full transcript
Captain Hayes of the mighty law enforcement squad named the Texas Rangers reached the pinnacle of his career when he captured the notorious John Henry, an outlaw cowboy, and put him behind bars. Twenty years later, upon his release, Henry is older but unrepentant. Within six hours after leaving his jail cell, he evens the score with Hayes by holding up the Bank of Texas for $20,000 in gold. Hayes, in his fury, gets himself out of retirement to take up the chase once more.

PUT THE GUN DOWN, JOHN HENRY.
GOODBYE, JOHN HENRY.
20 YEARS IS A LONG TIME.
WELL, YOU'RE A FREE MAN.
HM.
I GUESS I'LL NEVER GET USED TO IT.
THEY'RE BROUGHT IN HERE RAMROD STRAIGHT.
ARROGANT, READY TO TACKLE THE WHOLE WORLD.
AND THEY WALK AWAY BROKEN-DOWN OLD MEN.
NOWHERE TO GO, NOTHING TO DO.
AND TOO WORE OUT TO DO IT, EVEN IF THERE WAS.
GIDDY-UP.
DID YOU GET THE DYNAMITE?
TWO BOXES.
THAT OUGHT TO DO IT.
[EXPLOSION]
[WHISTLES]
HOLD IT, HOLD IT!
[GUNSHOTS]
[PEOPLE SHOUTING]
MISSED HIM, DARN IT! COME ON!
CAPTAIN, HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE TO TELL YOU IT WASN'T
YOUR FAULT?
GOVERNOR, YOU APPOINTED ME HEAD OF THE PAROLE BOARD.
BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB.
NO SIR I'M NOT.
NOT ANYMORE.
I LET MY PERSONAL FEELINGS GET IN THE WAY OF THE DECISION.
I WAS THE ONLY ONE ON THE BOARD WHO FAVORED A PARDON
FOR JOHN HENRY LEE, BUT I GOT HIM OUT.
THEN WHAT DOES HE DO?
SIX HOURS LATER HE ROBS A BANK IN DEL RIO AND RUNS OFF
WITH 20,000 IN GOLD!
SO YOU MADE A MISTAKE.
YEAH, I SURE DID.
20 YEARS AGO.
I SHOULD'VE SHOT HIM INSTEAD OF BRINGING HIM IN.
NEXT TIME, I WILL.
NEXT TIME?
I GOT JOHN HENRY LEE OUT OF PRISON.
I CAN DANG WELL PUT HIM BACK IN.
IF I DON'T BURY HIM.
OREN...
I HATE TO SAY THIS.
YOU'VE BEEN ONE OF THE BEST TEXAS RANGERS TO STRAP ON A
GUN, BUT THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
AREN'T YOU A LITTLE OLD TO GO RUNNING AROUND CHASING AN OUTLAW?
WELL AIN'T HE A LITTLE OLD TO GO RUNNING AROUND ROBBING BANKS?
IF I KNOW JOHN HENRY, HE'LL SWING SOUTH FROM DEL RIO
ALONG THE BORDER AND ROUND UP HIS OLD GANG.
LIKE AS NOT, HE'LL PICK UP NITRO JONES, BEST POWDER MAN
IN THE TERRITORY.
BEEN BLOWING UP BANK VAULTS SINCE HE WAS KNEE HIGH TO A
STICK OF DYNAMITE.
HANDS AS SOLID AS A ROCK.
NOT A NERVE IN HIS BODY.
AND FARGO PARKER, GUNFIGHTER.
DANGEROUS AS THEY COME.
CUT HIS TEETH ON A WINCHESTER.
AND KELLY SUTTON, TIN HORN GAMBLER.
BEEN THROWN OUT OF EVERY HONEST CARD GAME IN TEXAS.
TALKS TOO MUCH AND DRINKS TOO MUCH, BUT HE CAN HANDLE IT.
AND CHARLIE LEE, JOHN HENRY'S BROTHER.
WAGON DRIVER, GETAWAY MAN.
THERE'S NOT A HARNESS HORSE EVER LIVED THAT CHARLIE
COULDN'T MASTER.
HE CAN TURN A RUNAWAY TEAM AROUND ON A DIME.
WAIT UP!
AND GIVE YOU SEVEN CENTS CHANGE.
LOOK OUT!
[CRASHING SOUND]
AS SOON AS JOHN HENRY GETS HIS BOYS TOGETHER, THEY'LL
DOUBLE BACK AND HEAD NORTH.
OVER THE BEND OF THE RIO BRAZOS.
THE BEND IN RIO BRAZOS?
YOU HEARD ME.
[GRUNTING]
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO KIND OF STAY AWAY FROM THAT
PARTS OF TEXAS.
WELL YOU THOUGHT WRONG.
IF I KNOW CAPTAIN HAYES, HE'S GOING TO HEAD STRAIGHT
FOR THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND QUIT HIS JOB ON THE
PAROLE BOARD.
HE THINKS IT'S HIS FAULT THAT I GOT TURNED LOOSE.
THEN HE'S GOING TO HEAD OUT AND ROUND UP HIS WHOLE OUTFIT.
ONCE HE GETS HIM, HE'S GOING TO COME BUSTING RIGHT AFTER US.
BE JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.
HE'LL PROBABLY HAVE NASH CRAWFORD WITH HIM.
WHO?
THE ONLY GUY TO EVER BEAT ME TO THE DRAW, FAIR AND SQUARE.
PUT A BULLET IN ME RIGHT THERE. STILL GOT IT.
I WAS TURNING BLUE ONE WINTER, AND THEM PRISON
DOCTORS WANTED TO CUT IT OUT OF THERE.
I SAID HECK NO.
YEAH, NASH CRAWFORD'S SOME KIND OF MAN.
HE GETS ON YOUR TRAIL, YOU'D BETTER BE READY TO BUY THE
FARM, BULL AND ALL.
TOUCH THAT GUN AND I'LL KILL YOU.
RIGHT.
NOW YOU TRY IT.
STAND UP TALL.
TALLER.
NOW, DON'T MOVE A MUSCLE.
CAN I MOVE MY MOUTH?
JUST ENOUGH TO LET THE WORDS OUT.
NOW GO ON.
TOUCH THAT GUN AND I'LL KILL YOU.
TRY IT AGAIN.
TOUCH THAT GUN AND I'LL KILL YOU!
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
I'M STANDING AS TALL AS I CAN.
IT AIN'T THAT, IT'S YOUR EYES.
I CAN TELL YOU'RE BLUFFING.
WELL I AM.
BUT YOU CAN'T LET THE OTHER FELLOW KNOW THAT!
I MEAN, YOU'VE GOTTA BE READY TO BACK YOUR PLAY COME

FIVE YEARS.
SEEMS LIKE MORE.

I'M PROUD OF YOU, OREN.
STANDING UP FOR JOHN HENRY THE WAY YOU DID.
CAN I SEE HIM?
I'M AFRAID NOT.
WHAT HAPPENED?
DIDN'T HIS PARDON COME THROUGH?
IT CAME THROUGH.
AND SOON AS HE WAS OUT, HE ROBBED A BANK IN DEL RIO.
AND YOU'RE GOING AFTER HIM.
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
ALWAYS THE LAWMAN.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S WRONG AND YOU KNOW IT.
THIS IS BECAUSE OF ME, ISN'T IT?
YOU THOUGHT IF I KNEW JOHN HENRY WAS OUT, I'D COME RUNNING.
YOU'RE HERE.
BECAUSE YOU SENT FOR ME.
I JUST WANTED YOU TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND ONCE AND FOR GOOD.
ALL THESE YEARS...
YOU'RE STILL JEALOUS OF JOHN HENRY.
ALL THESE YEARS.
I MARRIED YOU.
BECAUSE HE WAS LOCKED UP.
THIS TIME YOU'RE GOING TO SEE HE STAYS THAT WAY.
ALL I KNOW IS...
I WANT YOU BACK, MAGGIE.
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED ONE BIT, OREN HAYES.
NOT ONE BIT.
YOU FEEL THAT THERE BANK IN DEL RIO IS GOING TO PUT UP A
REWARD FOR US?
PROBABLY.
WELL, DON'T YOU THINK WE'RE KIND OF TAKING A CHANCE
SITTING OUT HERE IN THE OPEN AND BUILDING A BIG FIRE?
NAH.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THERE'S A LOT OF GOLD IN THAT THERE WAGON.
IT'S GONNA STAY THERE.
NOT IF ANOTHER OF 'EM COME TO CHASING AFTER AND JUMP US.
THEY WON'T.
BUT...
CHARLIE, THEM BANKERS IN DEL RIO ARE JUST LIKE THEY ARE EVERYWHERE ELSE.
LET THEM BE A LITTLE EXTRA CAREFUL ABOUT PUTTING OUT MONEY.
THEY'LL POST A REWARD, BUT IT AIN'T GOING TO AMOUNT TO NOTHING.
IT'S GOOD BUSINESS, BUT IT DON'T GO FOR RAISING NO
HELLACIOUS BIG POSSE.
YEAH, I SURE GOTTA HAND IT TO YOU.
YOU SURE DO THINK THINGS OUT.
WELL, I DIDN'T ALWAYS, AND I PAID FOR IT TOO.
20 YEARS.
BUT THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN NO MORE.
IT AIN'T?
CHARLIE, A MAN'S GOTTA HAVE A GOAL IN THIS LIFE.
SOMETHING TO KEEP HIM GOING.
AND I GOT MINE.
I WANT TO ROB A TEXAS TRAIN.
YOU ALMOST GOT IT DONE ONCE.
YEAH, BUT CAPTAIN HAYES AND HIS BOYS STOPPED ME.
BUT THEY WON'T THIS TIME.
YOU MEAN YOU GONNA TRY TO RUN UP THAT TRAIN AGAIN?
AIN'T GONNA TRY, CHARLIE, I'M GONNA DO IT.
THAT SUNDAY RUN FROM WACO.
I'VE HAD A LOT OF TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WENT WRONG
THE LAST TIME.
LAYING UP THERE IN PRISON, I WENT OVER IT IN MY MIND A
HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES OR MORE.
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE GOT ON THAT TRAIN IN WACO.
WE SHOULD'VE WAITED TIL THE BEND OF THE BRAZOS, AND WHEN
THE TRAIN SLOWED DOWN FOR THE CURVE, WE COULD'VE
JUMPED ON IT RIGHT THERE ON THE FLY.
THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO THIS TIME.
ON THE FLY?
WE'LL BE ALL OVER THEM EXPRESS GUARD BEFORE THEY
KNOW WHAT HITS 'EM.
NOW ONCE WE GET ON BOARD, I WANT YOU TO BRING THIS WAGON
FULL BORE UP ALONGSIDE THE TRAIN.
NOW THERE'LL BE A CLEARING THERE BY THE RIVER, SO
YOU'LL HAVE ROOM TO HORSE THAT RIG RIGHT ON UP NEXT TO
THE EXPRESS CAR.
BUT DON'T COME IN TOO QUICK.
KIND OF LAY BACK AND WAIT FOR THE EXPLOSION.
EXPLOSION?
YEAH.
I'LL TELL NITRO TO USE AN EXTRA STICK OF DYNAMITE ON
THAT SAFE, SO WHEN IT BLOWS, THE WHOLE SIDE OF THE
EXPRESS CAR WILL COME OUT.
WE'LL GET THE GOLD, THROW IT IN THE WAGON, JUMP ON THE
BACK AND TAKE OFF LIKE A SCALDED DOG IN THE HILLS.
WE'LL BE LONG GONE BEFORE THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
JOHN HENRY, ALL THAT RUNNING AND THE JUMPING?
YOU DON'T THINK YOU'RE UP TO IT, HUH?
WELL, YOU WILL BE.
WHEN YOU HEAR THAT TRAIN COMING AROUND THE BEND AND
YOU HEAR THAT WHISTLE BLOWING, YOU'LL BE LIKE AN
OLD FIRE HORSE HEARING THE BELL.
YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO HOLD YOU BACK, PROMISE YOU THAT.
WE'LL MAKE FOOLS OUT OF CAPTAIN HAYES AND HIS BOYS,
JUST LIKE THEY DID US.
AND UNLESS I MISS MY GUESS, THEY'LL BE WAITING FOR US AT
THE JUNCTION JUST BEYOND THE BEND IN THE RIVER.
JUST LIKE THEY WAS BEFORE.
BUT WE'LL BE IN AND OUT BEFORE THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
WON'T THEY CATCH UP WITH US?
THEY WON'T.
BUT WHAT IF THEY DO?
YOU EVER HEAR TELL THE STORY ABOUT THEM LIONS OVER IN AFRICA?
LIONS?
WHEN THEY START GETTING OLD, SOMETHING INSIDE OF THEM
TELLS 'EM THEY AIN'T GOT LONG TO LIVE AND THEY START
ROAMING AROUND, LOOKING FOR A FIGHT.
NOT JUST ANY FIGHT, BUT A GOOD ONE.
ONE THEY WOULDN'T MIND TOO MUCH NOT WALKING AWAY FROM.
AND IF CAPTAIN HAYES AND HIS BOYS CATCH UP TO US OUT
HERE, THAT'S THE KIND OF FIGHT IT'S GOING TO BE.
GOODNIGHT ALL.
THIS DUEL OF HIS COULD GET US ALL KILLED!
MAN CAN'T LIVE FOREVER.
NOT AROUND JOHN HENRY, HE CAN'T.
OKAY, YOU'RE FIRST NITRO.
NOW!
[GUNSHOTS]
NEXT.
THAT AIN'T FAIR, JOHN HENRY.
I CAN HIT THEM BOTTLES WITH A SCATTERGUN!
YOU COULDN'T HIT A BULL IN THE BUTT WITH A BANJO!
HE'S RIGHT, CHARLIE. USE YOUR HANDGUN.
I DON'T GOT ONE!

WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
BECAUSE HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE I'D COME AFTER HIM.
BUT THAT DON'T MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE, CAPTAIN.
DOES TO HIM.
THE ONLY TIME JOHN HENRY WAS EVER MADE A FOOL OF WAS WHEN
HE TRIED TO ROB THAT TEXAS TRAIN.
HE WANTS TO GET EVEN.
SOUNDS TO ME LIKE HE WANTS TO GET CAUGHT.

HE'S HAD A LOT OF YEARS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HE DID WRONG.
HE WON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN.

JASON, YOU'LL RIDE SCOUT.
YES SIR.

HE'S TAKING THE WHOLE THING TOO PERSONAL.
HIM AND JOHN HENRY USED TO BE FRIENDS.

SAME OUTFIT.
WHEN THE FIGHT WAS OVER, THE CAPTAIN JOINED THE RANGERS,
JOHN HENRY HE TOOK TO ROBBING YANKEE BANKS.
CLAIMED HE WAS GETTING EVEN WITH THEM FOR WINNING THE WAR.
THAT HAPPENED TO ME ONCE.
TAKING THINGS TO PERSONAL, I MEAN.
I WAS TRACKING A MAN THAT SHOT A SHOT A SHERIFF.
GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, THAT SHERIFF WAS TOO.
I WAS SO BLIND MAD I COULDN'T SEE THE TRAIL AND
HE GOT AWAY.
[LAUGHS] WELL JOHN HENRY WON'T.

WHY ELSE WOULD HE MAKE SURE HE BROUGHT THE LAW ALONG TO

YOU HEARD THE CAPTAIN, HE'S DOING IT TO GET EVEN!
NO HE AIN'T.

WE'LL BE WORE OUT BEFORE THE TRAIN GETS HERE!
SAME THING GOES FOR THESE HORSES, JOHN HENRY.

YOU WON'T.
BUT WHAT IF I DO?
NITRO, AIN'T NONE OF US AS YOUNG AS WE USED TO BE.
NOT NEARLY.
WE'RE PROFESSIONALS, AND THAT'S WHAT COUNTS WHEN THE

THAT'S WHAT SEPARATES THE MEN FROM THE BOYS.
EVEN THE OLD MEN.

I KNOW SO.
NOW LET ME RUN THIS DOWN FOR YOU ONE MORE TIME.
OKAY.
THAT'S THE HILL OVER THERE.
HERE'S THE RIVER.

US CHASING AFTER JOHN HENRY.
I SURE MISS 'EM.
THE OLD TIMES, I MEAN.
NEVER WAS A DULL DAY.
YEAH.
THAT'S THE TROUBLE WHEN YOU TAME A LAND.
ALL THE FUN GOES OUT OF IT.
FIRST THING YOU KNOW, THE SETTLERS COME IN AND THEY
BUILD A TOWN, AND THEN THE BANKERS AND LAWYERS MOVE IN
AND TAKE IT AWAY FROM THEM.
I GUESS THAT'S PROGRESS, JASON.
WELL, THEY CAN HAVE IT.
UH...
SPEAKING OF PROGRESS, HAS THERE BEEN ANY BETWEEN YOU AND MAGGIE?
I'M AFRAID NOT.
WELL IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT THE TWO OF YOU NOT BEING TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW THAT PREACHER DOWN IN SAN ANTON' SAID "'TIL
DEATH DO YOU PART" AND YOU SURE AS HELL AIN'T DEAD.
DID YOU EVER WANT ANYTHING SO BAD, YOU DID ALL THE
WRONG THINGS TO GET IT?
OH, TALKING ABOUT WOMEN, NO.
I'VE HAD A HANKERING FOR A FEW, BUT THEY NEVER DID GET SERIOUS.
MY BEING UGLY HELPED A LOT.
THERE WAS THAT NEARSIGHTED GAL DOWN IN SONORA TOWN.
OH YEAH.
THAT WAS THE ONE THAT WENT AROUND TELLING EVERYBODY HOW
MUCH SHE LOVED YOU.
EVERYBODY, THAT IS, EXCEPT HER HUSBAND.
THAT'S THE ONE!
AND AS I REMEMBER, HE WAS THAT CLOSE TO DOING YOU WITH
A SHOTGUN.
TAUGHT ME A LESSON: ALWAYS CHECK THE BRAND, MAKE SURE
YOU AIN'T DRIVING ANOTHER MAN'S STOCK.
AMEN.

WELL CAPTAIN, I GOTTA GET SOME REST.
I'VE GOT A BIG DAY TOMORROW.
GOTTA TIGHTEN MY HANDLEBARS.

THEY STAY HERE.
BILLY, YOU AND JOHN BROWN KEEP AN EYE ON THEM.
COME WITH ME.

GOT ENOUGH SUPPLIES AROUND HERE FOR MYSELF.
OVERLAND CALLS THIS A SWING STOP.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL TO CALL IT.
YOU SEE ANY HORSES OUT THERE?
YOU SEE ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A TEAM CHANGE?
THEY HIT ME LIKE THIS TWO, THREE TIMES A MONTH.
WHO'S THEY?
BREEDS, COMANCHE...
COULD BE THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER FOR ALL I KNOW.
AND WHAT HORSES THEY DON'T STEAL, THEY SCATTER UP ON
THE HILLS THERE.
AND HOW'S A MAN SUPPOSED TO GATHER ANIMALS AND WATCH HIS

NOW JUST YESTERDAY, THE EASTBOUND CAME THROUGH HERE.
I COULDN'T MAKE A TEAM CHANGE.
DIDN'T HAVE ANY STOCK!
FOR TWO CENTS, I THROW THE KEYS IN THE WATER BUCKET AND
RIDE OUT OF HERE.
ON WHAT?
HEH, WELL, WALK OUT.
SAY, LISTEN.
ARE YOU BOYS LOOKING FOR A JOB?
I COULD USE A GUN OR TWO AROUND HERE.
NO SIR, WE'RE JUST PASSING THROUGH.
WELL, LIKE I SAID, I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU OUT.
JUST MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME THERE.
I GOTTA GO OUT AND ROUND UP SOME STOCK FOR THE WESTBOUND.
WELL...
HE SAID MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.
NO BEANS.
WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT?
A PRETTY GIRL.
I DON'T KNOW HER NAME.
YOU GO ON ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS.
I GOT WORK TO DO.
YOU'RE TOO PRETTY FOR WORK.
THAT'S FOR FAT WOMEN.

IS TO BLOW YOU BOYS UP.

IF YOU'RE TRYING TO GET ON MY GOOD SIDE, FORGET IT.

LIFE'S DISAPPOINTMENTS.
I KNOW IT'S HARD, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN TO DO IT.

WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT GETTING KILLED?
I DON'T PLAN TO.
NO?
WELL THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, YOU AND THESE OLD
MEN WALK OUT AGAINST US.
WELL THEN YOU AIN'T GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, DO YOU?

YOU KNOW CHARLIE DON'T LIE.

WELL THEY AIN'T GONNA GET THAT CHANCE.
WE'RE MOVING OUT OF HERE, NOW.
AND GIVE THEM THE 20,000?
WELL, YOU GAVE IT TO 'EM!
AND I CAN GET IT BACK, BUT THAT AIN'T GONNA CHANGE NOTHING.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, WE'VE GOTTA FIGHT THEM BOYS OVER

WE'RE HEADING OUT FOR DEL RIO.
CAPTAIN...
WE'RE GOING TO DO IT MY WAY.
WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU WALKED OUT AGAINST A MAN IN
A GUNFIGHT, JOHN HENRY?
IT WAS AGAINST NASH HERE, WASN'T IT?
AND HE KNOCKED YOU DOWN.
HE'S GOOD.
NOT ANYMORE HE'S NOT.
AND THAT GOES FOR ALL OF US.
IT'S A LITTLE LATE TO START FEELING SORRY FOR OURSELVES,
DON'T YOU THINK?
IT'S A LITTLE LATE FOR A LOT OF THINGS.
AND STANDING UP TO THOSE BOYS IN THE STREET IS ONE OF THEM.
WE WOULDN'T HAVE A CHANCE.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE WOULD HAVE, CAPTAIN.
GO OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY, IS THAT IT?
WHY NOT?
IT AIN'T EVERY DAY A MAN GETS TO DIE DOING WHAT HE DOES.
YOU COULD BE WRONG ABOUT US, CAPTAIN.
WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, WE JUST MIGHT BE ABLE TO TAKE
THOSE BOYS.
I ALWAYS WAS BETTER AT GUNFIGHTING THAN RUNNING.
COME ON CAPTAIN, WHAT DO YOU SAY?
THEY'RE AWFUL YOUNG.
AND EVERY ONE OF THEM WOULD SHOOT A MAN JUST TO SEE HIM FALL.

I'M PROUD OF YOU, OREN.
STANDING UP FOR JOHN HENRY THE WAY YOU DID.
CAN I SEE HIM?
I'M AFRAID NOT.
WHAT HAPPENED?
DIDN'T HIS PARDON COME THROUGH?
IT CAME THROUGH.
AND SOON AS HE WAS OUT, HE ROBBED A BANK IN DEL RIO.
AND YOU'RE GOING AFTER HIM.
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
ALWAYS THE LAWMAN.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S WRONG AND YOU KNOW IT.
THIS IS BECAUSE OF ME, ISN'T IT?
YOU THOUGHT IF I KNEW JOHN HENRY WAS OUT, I'D COME RUNNING.
YOU'RE HERE.
BECAUSE YOU SENT FOR ME.
I JUST WANTED YOU TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND ONCE AND FOR GOOD.
ALL THESE YEARS...
YOU'RE STILL JEALOUS OF JOHN HENRY.
ALL THESE YEARS.
I MARRIED YOU.
BECAUSE HE WAS LOCKED UP.
THIS TIME YOU'RE GOING TO SEE HE STAYS THAT WAY.
ALL I KNOW IS...
I WANT YOU BACK, MAGGIE.
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED ONE BIT, OREN HAYES.
NOT ONE BIT.
YOU FEEL THAT THERE BANK IN DEL RIO IS GOING TO PUT UP A
REWARD FOR US?
PROBABLY.
WELL, DON'T YOU THINK WE'RE KIND OF TAKING A CHANCE
SITTING OUT HERE IN THE OPEN AND BUILDING A BIG FIRE?
NAH.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THERE'S A LOT OF GOLD IN THAT THERE WAGON.
IT'S GONNA STAY THERE.
NOT IF ANOTHER OF 'EM COME TO CHASING AFTER AND JUMP US.
THEY WON'T.
BUT...
CHARLIE, THEM BANKERS IN DEL RIO ARE JUST LIKE THEY ARE EVERYWHERE ELSE.
LET THEM BE A LITTLE EXTRA CAREFUL ABOUT PUTTING OUT MONEY.
THEY'LL POST A REWARD, BUT IT AIN'T GOING TO AMOUNT TO NOTHING.
IT'S GOOD BUSINESS, BUT IT DON'T GO FOR RAISING NO
HELLACIOUS BIG POSSE.
YEAH, I SURE GOTTA HAND IT TO YOU.
YOU SURE DO THINK THINGS OUT.
WELL, I DIDN'T ALWAYS, AND I PAID FOR IT TOO.
20 YEARS.
BUT THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN NO MORE.
IT AIN'T?
CHARLIE, A MAN'S GOTTA HAVE A GOAL IN THIS LIFE.
SOMETHING TO KEEP HIM GOING.
AND I GOT MINE.
I WANT TO ROB A TEXAS TRAIN.
YOU ALMOST GOT IT DONE ONCE.
YEAH, BUT CAPTAIN HAYES AND HIS BOYS STOPPED ME.
BUT THEY WON'T THIS TIME.
YOU MEAN YOU GONNA TRY TO RUN UP THAT TRAIN AGAIN?
AIN'T GONNA TRY, CHARLIE, I'M GONNA DO IT.
THAT SUNDAY RUN FROM WACO.
I'VE HAD A LOT OF TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WENT WRONG
THE LAST TIME.
LAYING UP THERE IN PRISON, I WENT OVER IT IN MY MIND A
HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES OR MORE.
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE GOT ON THAT TRAIN IN WACO.
WE SHOULD'VE WAITED TIL THE BEND OF THE BRAZOS, AND WHEN
THE TRAIN SLOWED DOWN FOR THE CURVE, WE COULD'VE
JUMPED ON IT RIGHT THERE ON THE FLY.
THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO THIS TIME.
ON THE FLY?
WE'LL BE ALL OVER THEM EXPRESS GUARD BEFORE THEY
KNOW WHAT HITS 'EM.
NOW ONCE WE GET ON BOARD, I WANT YOU TO BRING THIS WAGON
FULL BORE UP ALONGSIDE THE TRAIN.
NOW THERE'LL BE A CLEARING THERE BY THE RIVER, SO
YOU'LL HAVE ROOM TO HORSE THAT RIG RIGHT ON UP NEXT TO
THE EXPRESS CAR.
BUT DON'T COME IN TOO QUICK.
KIND OF LAY BACK AND WAIT FOR THE EXPLOSION.
EXPLOSION?
YEAH.
I'LL TELL NITRO TO USE AN EXTRA STICK OF DYNAMITE ON
THAT SAFE, SO WHEN IT BLOWS, THE WHOLE SIDE OF THE
EXPRESS CAR WILL COME OUT.
WE'LL GET THE GOLD, THROW IT IN THE WAGON, JUMP ON THE
BACK AND TAKE OFF LIKE A SCALDED DOG IN THE HILLS.
WE'LL BE LONG GONE BEFORE THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
JOHN HENRY, ALL THAT RUNNING AND THE JUMPING?
YOU DON'T THINK YOU'RE UP TO IT, HUH?
WELL, YOU WILL BE.
WHEN YOU HEAR THAT TRAIN COMING AROUND THE BEND AND
YOU HEAR THAT WHISTLE BLOWING, YOU'LL BE LIKE AN
OLD FIRE HORSE HEARING THE BELL.
YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO HOLD YOU BACK, PROMISE YOU THAT.
WE'LL MAKE FOOLS OUT OF CAPTAIN HAYES AND HIS BOYS,
JUST LIKE THEY DID US.
AND UNLESS I MISS MY GUESS, THEY'LL BE WAITING FOR US AT
THE JUNCTION JUST BEYOND THE BEND IN THE RIVER.
JUST LIKE THEY WAS BEFORE.
BUT WE'LL BE IN AND OUT BEFORE THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
WON'T THEY CATCH UP WITH US?
THEY WON'T.
BUT WHAT IF THEY DO?
YOU EVER HEAR TELL THE STORY ABOUT THEM LIONS OVER IN AFRICA?
LIONS?
WHEN THEY START GETTING OLD, SOMETHING INSIDE OF THEM
TELLS 'EM THEY AIN'T GOT LONG TO LIVE AND THEY START
ROAMING AROUND, LOOKING FOR A FIGHT.
NOT JUST ANY FIGHT, BUT A GOOD ONE.
ONE THEY WOULDN'T MIND TOO MUCH NOT WALKING AWAY FROM.
AND IF CAPTAIN HAYES AND HIS BOYS CATCH UP TO US OUT
HERE, THAT'S THE KIND OF FIGHT IT'S GOING TO BE.
GOODNIGHT ALL.
THIS DUEL OF HIS COULD GET US ALL KILLED!
MAN CAN'T LIVE FOREVER.
NOT AROUND JOHN HENRY, HE CAN'T.
OKAY, YOU'RE FIRST NITRO.
NOW!
[GUNSHOTS]

THAT AIN'T FAIR, JOHN HENRY.
I CAN HIT THEM BOTTLES WITH A SCATTERGUN!
YOU COULDN'T HIT A BULL IN THE BUTT WITH A BANJO!
HE'S RIGHT, CHARLIE. USE YOUR HANDGUN.
I DON'T GOT ONE!
HERE, USE MINE.

I GOTTA GO OUT AND ROUND UP SOME STOCK FOR THE WESTBOUND.
WELL...
HE SAID MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.
NO BEANS.
WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT?
A PRETTY GIRL.
I DON'T KNOW HER NAME.
YOU GO ON ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS.
I GOT WORK TO DO.
YOU'RE TOO PRETTY FOR WORK.
THAT'S FOR FAT WOMEN.
AND BALD-HEADED MEN.
THAT LEAVES THE REST OF US TO HAVE FUN WITH EACH OTHER.
CLARA?
NO.
THAT GOES WITH A REDHEAD.
BERTHA?
[LAUGHS]
NO, THAT GOES WITH A COW.
KITTY?

HEY SONNY.
PEOPLE DON'T GENERALLY CALL ME "SONNY."

IS THAT SO?
YEAH, THAT'S SO.
IS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SAY NOW THAT
I'VE REMINDED YOU OF YOUR MANNERS?
YEAH.
CAN I BORROW A MATCH?
IF IT AIN'T INJUNS STEALING MY HORSES, IT'S SOME NO-GOOD

YOU SAID THERE WERE TWO OF THEM?
THAT'S RIGHT.
HOW OLD?
20 OR SO.
THEM IN THE WAGON WEREN'T.
THERE WAS FIVE OLD MEN.
I SAW THEM WHEN THEY RODE OFF.
LOOKS LIKE JOHN HENRY BROUGHT ALONG SOME YOUNG GUNS.
WHICH WAY WERE THEY HEADED?
SOUTH.
MUCH OBLIGED.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!
THANK YOU.

IT'S A SHAME YOU BOYS DON'T KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR TRADE
THAN YOU DO.
YOU'D WENT OUT AND FOUND YOUR OLD BANK TO ROB.
THAT WAY, YOU WOULDN'T BE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE.
SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU'RE THE ONES IN TROUBLE.
WELL, IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO IT WE ARE.
DO WHAT?
KILL US.
YOU THINK WE'D DO THAT?
WELL YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
THING ABOUT IT IS, WHEN YOU DO GET RID OF US YOU'VE
GOTTA MAKE SURE IT LOOKS LIKE THE GOLD GETS LOST TOO,
OR ELSE THEY'LL FIND US DEAD, THE GOLD GONE, AND
THEY'LL COME RIGHT AFTER YOU.
THIS TIME THEY WON'T BE COMING AFTER YOU FOR STEALING.
THIS TIME THEY'LL BE COMING AT YOU FOR KILLING.
MAN DON'T KNOW THE ROPES IN THIS BUSINESS, HE'S LIABLE
TO WIND UP WITH ONE AROUND HIS NECK.
WELL WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IF I TOLD YOU I ALREADY GOT THAT
WORKED OUT?
I'D HAVE TO DOUBT IT.
EVER SINCE YOU GUYS JUMPED US BACK THERE, I'VE BEEN
WRACKING MY BRAIN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I WOULD DO
ABOUT IT IF THE SITUATION WERE TURNED AROUND.
I HAVEN'T COME UP WITH ANYTHING YET.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MAN GETS A LONG WAY
DOWN THE ROAD.
HIS MIND DON'T WORK AS GOOD AS IT USED TO.
SOME WAYS IT DON'T.
SOME WAYS IT DOES.
TAKE RIGHT NOW FOR INSTANCE.
I CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU BOYS ARE THINKING.
YOU'RE THINKING YOU WISH YOU HAD ANOTHER WAY OUT OF THIS.
BECAUSE DEEP DOWN, YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SPEND
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE KNOWING THAT YOU KILLED FIVE MEN.
FIVE OLD MEN.
MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
YOU MEAN KIND OF LIKE PUTTING US OUT OF OUR MISERY
LIKE THE NO-GOODS THAT WE ARE?
WELL, YOU COULD SAY THAT, YEAH.
COURSE YOU GOTTA GET IT DONE FIRST.
THAT MIGHT NOT BE SO EASY.
WELL, YOU SAID THAT LIKE YOU WERE PLANNING ON STOPPING US.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IF I TOLD YOU THAT I ALREADY HAD THAT
FIGURED OUT?
I'D HAVE TO DOUBT IT.
FIGURED YOU WOULD.
YOUR HIDE.
SEEMS TO ME WE SHOULD'VE CAUGHT UP WITH THE CAPTAIN
AND GEORGE RIGHT NOW.
WE'LL BE LUCKY TO CATCH UP ON THE WALL, THANKS TO YOU.
WASN'T MY FAULT I HAD A FLAT!
YOU'LL GET MORE THAN THAT IF THE CAPTAIN RUNS INTO
TROUBLE AND WE AIN'T THERE TO HELP HIM.
HOLD IT?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
PUTTING ON MY NIGHT WATCHMAN GLASSES.
I THINK I SEE SOMETHING.
[CHUCKLING]
JUST AS I THOUGHT.
THERE'S A TOWN UP AHEAD.
THAT TOWN UP AHEAD HAS BEEN THERE FOR THE LAST HALF HOUR.
IT HAS?
JASON FITCH, YOU ARE THE WORST TRACKER I EVER DID SEE.
I MEAN, YOU DON'T HEAR GOOD, YOU'VE GOT NO SENSE OF
DIRECTION, YOU'RE BLIND AS A BAT.
IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF YOU HANG UPSIDE DOWN WHEN
YOU SLEEP!
WANT ME TO GET DOWN AND WALK?
NO I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET DOWN AND WALK.
YOU'LL GET LOST.
HOLD ON.
YOU DON'T SUPPOSE JOHN HENRY GOT HIMSELF CAUGHT NOW, DO YOU?
HUH.
COULD BE.
HELLO, THE SALOON.
THIS IS CAPTAIN HAYES, TEXAS RANGERS.
[GLASS SHATTERING]
[GUNSHOTS]
HOW MANY OF THEM ARE THERE?
ONLY SAW TWO.
GOTTA BE MORE THAN THAT.
THOSE BOYS ARE KIND OF TOUCHY, AIN'T THEY?
CAPTAIN, WHAT'S GOING ON?
SOUNDS LIKE YOU STARTED A WAR!
WE DID.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHICH SIDE WE'RE ON.
IT AIN'T HOW MANY THAT YOU'RE UP AGAINST YOU GOTTA
WORRY ABOUT, YOU KNOW.
IT'S WHO THEY ARE.
THAT'S CAPTAIN HAYES AND HIS BOYS OUT THERE.
BOYS?
THEY LOOK LIKE A COUPLE OLD GOATS TO ME.
OLD OR NO, YOU'VE GOT YOUR WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU IF
YOU'RE PLANNING ON GETTING SAFE AWAY WITH THAT GOLD.
SHUT UP!
WHY DON'T YOU JUST TAKE THE REWARD MONEY AND LET IT GO
AT THAT?
LOOK OLD MAN, I SET OUT TO SPEND THAT GOLD AND THAT'S
WHAT I FULL INTEND TO DO.
WHAT A MAN INTENDS AND WHAT HE DOES IS SOMETIMES DIFFERENT.
WHAT A MAN INTENDS AND WHAT HE DOES IS SOMETIMES
I INTENDED TO ROB A TEXAS TRAIN.
FOR 20 YEARS I INTENDED THAT, AND I DIDN'T GET IT DONE.
AND THIS...
THIS DYNAMITE.
THAT'S ANOTHER THING I INTENDED TO DO.
IS TO BLOW YOU BOYS UP.
BUT I DIDN'T.
WELL, I GOT TO THINKING.
IT AIN'T RIGHT.
YOU'RE YOUNG AND YOU'VE GOT YOUR WHOLE LIFE IN FRONT OF YOU.
IF YOU'RE TRYING TO GET ON MY GOOD SIDE, FORGET IT.
I DON'T HAVE ONE.
ALL I'M SAYING IS YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN TO PUT UP WITH
LIFE'S DISAPPOINTMENTS.
I KNOW IT'S HARD, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN TO DO IT.
QUIT PREACHING.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST TOSS ME THAT STICK, NICE AND GENTLE?
WHY DON'T YOU COME AND GET IT?
YOU'RE NOT AFRAID OF AN OLD MAN, ARE YOU?
'COURSE, I DON'T BLAME YOU IF YOU ARE.
IT'S LIKE YOU SAID: A MAN GETS ON DOWN THE ROAD,
SOMETIMES HIS MIND DON'T WORK AS GOOD AS IT USED TO.
YOU MAKE A WRONG MOVE, I'M LIABLE TO PANIC, THROW THIS
STICK OF DYNAMITE IN THE STOVE HERE.
YOU'RE BLUFFING.
THERE'S ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.
I THINK HE MEANS IT, COTTON.
I KNOW I MEAN IT.
YOU SEE, I DON'T HAVE A GOOD SIDE EITHER.
NOW WHY DON'T YOU BOYS THROW YOUR WINCHESTERS DOWN OVER
THERE AND GET OUT OF THE DOOR, AND ME AND MY FRIENDS
WILL WALK ON OUT OF HERE.
SUIT YOURSELF.
[GUNS COCKING]
HOLD IT!
DO LIKE HE SAYS.
WELL IF YOU DON'T MIND, WE'LL JUST LEAVE THE GOLD OVER THERE.
LEAVE IT?
YEAH, THAT WAY I KNOW YOU BOYS'LL BE HERE FOR THE FIGHT.
THE FIGHT?
WE'LL LEAVE YOUR GUNS IN THE WAGON OUT THERE.
THAT WAY IT WILL BE FAIR.
YOU MEAN YOU WANT TO HAVE A SHOOTOUT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S KIND OF OLD FASHIONED, AIN'T IT?
WELL IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.
WELL, THE WAY I LOOK ON IT IS YOU GOT THE DROP ON US.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THE GOLD AND GO?
IF WE DO THAT, YOU'LL JUST COME AFTER US AND JUMP US AGAIN.
THIS WAY IT'LL ALL BE OVER, ONCE AND FOR GOOD.
WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT GETTING KILLED?
I DON'T PLAN TO.
NO?
WELL THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, YOU AND THESE OLD
MEN WALK OUT AGAINST US.
WELL THEN YOU AIN'T GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, DO YOU?
EXCEPT FOR THOSE WHO'LL BE COMING AFTER YOU.
KIND OF A HIGH PRICE TO PAY TO GET US TO THE END OF A ROPE.
WE AIN'T PAID IT YET.
SHOULD WARN YOU, IT'LL PROBABLY BE HARD TO KEEP
CAPTAIN HAYES AND HIS BOYS OUT OF THIS.
THERE'S NOTHING THEY LIKE BETTER THAN A GOOD FIGHT.
IT AIN'T EVERY DAY THEY GET TO BE ON YOUR SIDE.
WELL, I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.
IT COULD BE A PROBLEM.
WELL YOU'D BETTER WORK IT OUT.
YOU'RE GOING TO NEED ALL THE HELP YOU CAN GET.
OH, BY THE WAY.
IF IT'S ALRIGHT, WE'LL JUST WAIT TIL MORNING TO LEAVE
YOUR GUNS IN THE WAGON.
ME AND THE BOYS, WE DON'T SEE TOO GOOD IN THE DARK ANYMORE.
COME TOMORROW, YOU WON'T SEE AT ALL.
WE'LL SEE.
I DON'T CARE IF YOU SWEAR UP AND DOWN ON A STACK OF BIBLES,
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
I TRUSTED YOU ONCE, I AIN'T GONNA DO IT AGAIN.
I DON'T BLAME YOU, BUT I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH THIS TIME.
WE'S GONNA TAKE THAT GOLD BACK TO DEL RIO.
CHARLIE, CHARLIE'LL TELL YOU.
YOU KNOW CHARLIE DON'T LIE.
ALL I KNOW IS YOU AIN'T GOING TO CROSS ME AGAIN.
I'M GOING TO SEE TO IT THEY PUT YOU BACK IN THAT CELL
AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!
AND LET THOSE FOUR NO-GOODS OVER THERE GO FREE?
THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING.
THEY THREW DOWN ON YOU.
THEY'RE JUST TRIGGER-HAPPY, THAT'S ALL.
THEY WANT THE GOLD FOR THEMSELVES.
THEY WERE GOING TO KILL US TO GET IT, AND THEY'LL DO
THE SAME THING TO YOU IF YOU GIVE THEM A CHANCE.
WELL THEY AIN'T GONNA GET THAT CHANCE.
WE'RE MOVING OUT OF HERE, NOW.
AND GIVE THEM THE 20,000?
WELL, YOU GAVE IT TO 'EM!
AND I CAN GET IT BACK, BUT THAT AIN'T GONNA CHANGE NOTHING.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, WE'VE GOTTA FIGHT THEM BOYS OVER
THERE, AND IF WE HEAD OUT TO DEL RIO, THEY'LL HAVE US
JUST WHERE THEY WANT US.
THEY HAVEN'T GOT ANY GUNS!
THEY CAN GET GUNS.
THEY'VE GOT FOUR DAYS.
HE'S RIGHT, CAPTAIN.
HE'S NEVER BEEN RIGHT IN HIS LIFE!
WELL I AM NOW, AND IF YOU WASN'T TOO BULL HEADED TO
ADMIT IT, ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS SEND ME BACK TO PRISON!
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, IF THE BOYS CATCH US IN THE
OPEN OUT THERE, MORE THAN YOUR PRIDE IS GOING TO GET HURT.
WE'RE HEADING OUT FOR DEL RIO.
CAPTAIN...
WE'RE GOING TO DO IT MY WAY.
WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU WALKED OUT AGAINST A MAN IN
A GUNFIGHT, JOHN HENRY?
IT WAS AGAINST NASH HERE, WASN'T IT?
AND HE KNOCKED YOU DOWN.
HE'S GOOD.
NOT ANYMORE HE'S NOT.
AND THAT GOES FOR ALL OF US.
IT'S A LITTLE LATE TO START FEELING SORRY FOR OURSELVES,
DON'T YOU THINK?
IT'S A LITTLE LATE FOR A LOT OF THINGS.
AND STANDING UP TO THOSE BOYS IN THE STREET IS ONE OF THEM.
WE WOULDN'T HAVE A CHANCE.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE WOULD HAVE, CAPTAIN.
GO OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY, IS THAT IT?
WHY NOT?
IT AIN'T EVERY DAY A MAN GETS TO DIE DOING WHAT HE DOES.
YOU COULD BE WRONG ABOUT US, CAPTAIN.
WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, WE JUST MIGHT BE ABLE TO TAKE
THOSE BOYS.
I ALWAYS WAS BETTER AT GUNFIGHTING THAN RUNNING.
COME ON CAPTAIN, WHAT DO YOU SAY?
THEY'RE AWFUL YOUNG.
AND EVERY ONE OF THEM WOULD SHOOT A MAN JUST TO SEE HIM FALL.
OUTLAWING AIN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE.
IT NEVER WAS, JOHN HENRY.
SERGEANT.
YES SIR?
WE'LL BE STAYING OUT THE NIGHT.
