3:10 to Yuma (2007) - full transcript

Oh, Dan.

Maybe it's the wind.

Hurry, get the gate!

No!

Stop! Please, stop!

Tucker! Let's get.

You have a week, Evans.

Then we burn the house.

William! Hey! William!

Out! Out!

William!



God damn it, William!

William!

God damn it, put that down!

- Come here!
- Let go!

Leave 'em! Let go!

It's the last feed we got!

I'll take care of this.

No, you won't.

Herd's over the ridge by now.

You go get cleaned up.

You lied to me, Dan.

You told me we made
payments to Hollander.

We did.

Some.



How do you think
we bought feed, Alice?

Three months' water,
medicine for Mark?

I had a choice between our
family and paying it down.

We're supposed to
make decisions together.

Would you have
made it any different?

Alice, we can't
make it rain together,

or turn the dust into grass.

Can't stop Hollander from selling
our land to the railroad, either.

It's too bad the doctors at
Essex saved so much of my leg.

I read that the Pension Act
pays by the pound now.

Stop looking at me like that.

You gonna tell the marshal
what those men did?

Marshal ain't doing shit!

William.

First thing, Mark,
I'm gonna take you boys,

we're gonna round up the herd,
and then I'm going into town.

What you gonna do in town?

I'm gonna tell Hollander
to make this right.

I'm gonna tell him
to pay for a new barn.

Maybe we should just shoot
him, like Will says.

Coach is headed for Bisbee, boss.

Girded with iron.
Pinks on top, double shotguns.

And a Gatling.

Should've let me save the feed.

You gonna hock that?

Someday, William,

when you walk in my shoes,
you might understand.

I ain't ever walking in your shoes.

Tracks over here!

Here we go.

McELROY: Okay, here we go.

Here they come.

McELROY: I hit him!

Come around!

I got them!

Right there!

McELROY: Get up here, let's go!

Turn!

Let's get around
on the back of them!

Turn it around!

Pin them! Head them off!

Push them on!

Take out the gun!
Take out the gun!

Nez and Tighe, push them around!

What was that?

O'Neil's been shot.
I'm manning the Gatling.

Mark, stay there.

Mark!

Come up alongside!

Get down, now!

I got him over here! I got him!

Knock on 'em, Monty, knock on 'em.
Keep 'em going.

Pull up! Pull up! Pull up!

Morning, Pinkerton.

Name's Charlie Prince.

I expect you heard of me.

Well, I heard of a bailed-up
whore named Charlie Princess.

That you, missy?

I hate Pinkertons.

Byron McElroy.

When'd your hair turn all grey, Byron?

Go to hell, Ben Wade.

Well, would you look at all this?

Y'all spared no expense
this time, Byron.

I gotta say though,

it's probably cheaper just to
let me rob the damn thing.

If you're gonna kill me,
just as soon get to it.

I ain't gonna kill you.

Not like this.

Won't change a thing,
letting me live.

I'll come for you.

I'd be disappointed if you didn't.

She's lit.

She's lit!

That's good. Here we go, boys.

There you go.

That's full.

All right. There you go.

Come on, give me one more. One more.

Put one more in there, come on.

I'll ask you to put down the money!

You, step back!
You, men, step back!

All of you step back right
now, or this man dies!

Not a smart move, friend.

Shit.

He's fast.

Well, Tommy,

it seems that there was a Pinkerton

inside that coach
who wasn't quite dead yet.

Now, I know Charlie told you

because we done got but a
few rules in this outfit.

This is what happens
when you put us all at risk.

Mark, look at me, look at me.
Keep looking at me. Back up quietly.

William!

William, look at me!
Back up, God damn it.

William! Look at me.

Mornin'.

Those are my cattle.
I want 'em back.

Careful, rancher, that's
Ben Wade you're talking to.

Well, I need 'em back.

They're all I got.

I don't need your cattle.

But I will be needin' them horses.

So you don't go do nothin' foolish.

Campos.

You'll find them on
the road to Bisbee.

Boys.

They're probably just running
late, Mr. Butterfield.

Pinkertons don't run late.

That's why they're paid $18 a day.

Get me on my feet.

Look, you're in pretty bad
shape, mister, you should see...

You just get me on my damn feet!

Mark! William!
Get me some of them boards.

Can I help you?

I think maybe

a coach headed for here got itself
held up in a canyon about 10 miles back.

God damn it.

By Mr. Ben Wade himself.

How did you know it was Wade?

It's been him the last
21 times, Marshal.

I saw a Mexican
sharpshooter and an Apache.

- God damn it.
- And I've been told...

Jesus Christ.
Did you see the Hand of God?

What's that? His pistol.

Why the hell didn't you do something?

They had a lot of weapons, mister,

and they were shootin' bullets.

Let's go, we're wastin' time.

Where you from, anyway?

Tom Conrad bought a thousand head in
Mexico, hired us to drive 'em in.

Let's go. Come on, boys.

Somethin's going on
with the railroad men.

Ma'am?

Some whisky for my friends.

Let's go. Bar's closed.

Already?

Here's to the four we lost in battle.

And here's to the boss,

who had to say goodbye
to Tommy Darden today.

And that's too bad.

Proverbs 13:3,

"He that keepeth his
mouth keepeth his life.

"He that opens
his lips too wide

"shall bring on
his own destruction."

Amen.

Tommy was weak.

Tommy was stupid.

Tommy is dead.

I drink 110 that.

Sutherland.

Jorgensen.

Campos.

Jackson.

Kinter.

Marshal's only half stupid.
He's gonna be back soon.

They're going across the border.

I won't be far.

I'll wait for you.

All right, Charlie.

I've seen you someplace before.

Have you?

You ever work for a blind
Irishman in Leadville?

I was a singer.

Best time I ever had, my whole life.

What made you quit?

Got to coughin'.

Doctor said I should
find a drier climate.

You know, I spent more money in
that joint than I could tell you.

You remember a girl,

her name was Velvet?

Nobody forgets Velvet.

You look kind of skinny.

I feel skinny.

That's all right.

I don't mind skinny girls,

long as they got green
eyes to make up for it.

Have you got green eyes?

That's all right.
They don't have to be green.

You think they lied?

You think they stole our horses?

They don't need our shit horses.

Watch your mouth.

I'll take him into town on my own.

You boys go round up the herd.

Don't push 'em too hard,
I can't afford any more droppin'.

Mister, we're gonna have to lift you
up to get you on top of that horse.

Here comes the cavalry.

Do as I said.

Go on.

Is he from the coach?

Only one who made it.

Mr. McElroy, can you hear me?

It was Ben Wade.

Mr. McElroy, can you hear me?

Mr...

This man needs attention.

See which way he rode, Evans?

Looked like they were headed to Bisbee.

You know, there's a little
town just south of the border.

Pretty little pueblucho,
down by the river.

Folks'd pay good money
to hear a white woman sing.

Yeah.

Imagine me shinnin' on down to
Mexico with Ben Wade on my arm.

I'm not wanted in Mexico.

Jump out that back window with me now.

You're crazy.

- You the doctor?
- Yes.

Coach got held up.

Get him on the table.

What's his name?

Byron McElroy.

He's a bounty hunter under
contract with the Pinkertons.

You've lost a lot of blood, Mr. McElroy.

We need to take a look around.

Kane! Crawley! Check that alley!

That bullet's still in there.

Well, get it out.

All right.

Now, what I'm about to do is gonna
hurt like a son of a bitch.

Ain't the first time I been shot.

Hold him, please?

Don't touch me.

All right.

What the fuck kind of
doctor are you, anyway?

Well, it's nice to have a conversation
with a patient, for a change.

You see anything down there?

Marshal! Wade's horse.

You take the back.
We'll take the front.

What the hell are they lookin' for?

Ben Wade.

He held up the payroll coach.

I wanna talk, Mr. Hollander.

Ben Wade in Bisbee.

Shit.

We're movin' up.

Mr. Hollander?

Tucker, goin' to the saloon.

You got no right doing what you done.

You hear me?

That's my land.

Come next week, it's not, Evans.

You borrowed a good deal of money,

and I got rights to recompense.

But you dammed up my creek.
You shut off my water.

How do you expect me to pay off
my debts if you can't let...

Before water touches your land,
it resides and flows on mine.

And as such, I can do with it
as I fuckin' please.

Go home and pack up.

Can you just let me get to spring?

I can turn the corner.

Sometimes a man has to be big
enough to see how small he is.

Railroad's coming, Dan.

And your land's worth
more with you off it.

Hollander!

You look a little bent, rancher.

You come to wake some snakes?

Dan. Would you like a drink?

No, thanks.

You got your horses back, didn't you?

And your cattle?

Yeah, I got my horses back.

But you killed two of my herd.

Well, they died for a good cause.

You know, them beeves of yours,

they wouldn't even fed $100.

I tell you what, that should cover it.

How much you get for a day's work?

Two dollars, when I hire out.

Well, there's two dollars
for half a day.

You took up my boys' time, too.

You're right. I did.

Anything else you
wanna get paid for, Dan?

You can give me five dollars extra.

And what's that for?

For makin' me nervous.

Hands up, Ben Wade.

Boss! Boss! Hey, boss!

Give me your hands, Mr. Wade.

Tucker, take his gun.

Give me that.

Ben Wade.

Captured in Bisbee.

Be careful with that thing.
That gun's got a curse on it.

Laugh while you can.

Crawley, go get the wagon.

Make sure every weapon
we got is shoot-ready.

I'll meet you out front of the office.
We gotta get him outta here.

Sure thing.

I think we should shoot him right now.

Put a bullet right in his noggin.

Do that, everybody in this shitpiss
little town'll be dead by morning.

Twenty-two robberies.

Over $400,000 in losses, more in delays.

The Southern Pacific will have Ben
Wade convicted in a federal court.

Hanged, in public.

An example made.

And we will pay to make it happen.

Y'all noticed he didn't mention
any of the lives I've taken..

I need three more men.

You can have Tucker.

Good.

I'm comin'. You only need one.

You're wounded, Mr. McElroy.

I rode in here,
sure as hell can ride out.

He goes, Potter's comin'.

What?

Doc can't shoot shit.

I was the best shot in my regiment.

I'll come.

For $200.

You fight for the North or the South?

North.

We're Southern in name,
but Chicago-owned.

Fine, $200.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Thank me when it's done.

This town's gonna burn!

Let's get him, Marshal!

Doc! Kane's down.

Shoot the bastard!

Easy.

Get him!

Get in the coach.

God damn it.

Evans, Crawley, Tucker,
you need to mount up now.

Head for Evans' ranch. I'll
meet you there with the coach.

How long does he have to be here?

An hour.

Make sure his outfit takes the bait.

Hello, there!

Evans, can you give me a hand with this?

Whatever your wife's cooking
in there smells good, Evans.

Let's go.

Good driving, Marshal.

Remind me not to play
poker in this town.

All right, Marshal, give us a count.

One, two, three.

Good luck!

You're gonna check on my family
when you come back, right?

First thing. Let's go.

Ma'am.

Byron, what an unpleasant surprise.

What happens if they catch the wagon?

Well, you saw where his man was.

He's still gotta go fetch the outfit.
Marshal's got a fast rig.

They should reach
the fort before dawn.

His gang can't do anything
in front of the whole Sixth Cavalry.

Did you have something
to do with that?

I hope you're proud of yourself.

Just doin' my job, Doc.

Thanks, son.

We always wait to say grace.

We don't presume to teach
other people manners.

Aren't we supposed to say
grace for murderers, too?

Grace is for everyone, dear.

Then why don't we say it?

Mark.

I'd like to hear it.

God, our Father, Lord and Saviour,

thank you for your love and favour.

Please bless this
drink and food, we pray.

Bless all who shares
with us today. Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

If my pa wants to,
he can shoot you dead.

He can shoot a jackrabbit at 50 yards.

Well, shootin' an animal is a lot
different than shootin' a man, son.

No, it isn't.

Not in my opinion.

We could ask Byron here.

Now, Byron, he's killed
dozens of people.

Men and women and children,
miners, Apache.

Not a soul taken didn't
deserve what it got.

"Every way of man is right
in his own eyes," Byron.

"The Lord ponders the heart."

Proverbs 21.

Dan.

You eat more when you're
nervous, Mr. Butterfield?

Oh, why, thank you, Dan.

That would be pleasant and
kind of you, much appreciated.

You can cut that up for me.

Can you cut the fat off there?

I don't particularly like the fat
at all. Can you just take that off...

And the gristle,
I don't like the gristle.

You mind if I ask you how you got
that hitch in your step, Dan?

McELROY:
Don't tell him nothin', Mr. Evans.

Where were you stationed?

Second Company Sharpshooters
out of Lynnfield, Massachusetts.

My father was defending the US
Capitol in the District of Columbia.

Is that so?

Well, Dan, tell me the story
of how you lost your leg.

Did it get shot off? Cut off?

The Indians steal it?

There's something moving
up there in the grass!

There ain't nothing.

I think I saw something
moving on the ridge.

What if they caught
the coach already?

What if they already know
it's Crawley inside?

You ever been to San Francisco?

If it's all right by you,
Mr. Wade, I'd rather we not talk.

So, you've never been
to San Francisco?

No.

I knew a girl there.

She was the daughter
of a sea captain.

She had the most
beautiful green eyes.

'Bout the greenest eyes I ever saw.

Like yours.

And I'd stare deep into them and they'd
just change colour in front of me.

All the colours of the sea.

What'd you say your name was again?

Alice?

Alice.

For God's sake, he's killed
more men than the drought.

He's not what I expected. He's...

Yeah, he's dangerous.

Dangerous is what he is, Alice.

I don't want you or
the boys talking to him.

You can change your mind, Dan.

No one will think less of you.

No one can think less of me.

Six months from now,
everything's gonna be green.

The cows are gonna be fat.

We might even see the steam from
the train coming over the ridge.

We'll be all right.

But we won't make it through the
next six days if I don't do this.

Sorry, Dan. McElroy says five minutes.

You think he's too much for me?

He's a killer, Daniel.

Then someone ought to have the
decency to bring him to justice.

What are you thinking?

I'm not out there alone, you
know, have a little faith in me.

Ben Wade has a gang, and they're
out there tonight, somewhere.

If I don't go,
we gotta pack up and leave,

heading God knows where,
without a prayer, dirt-poor.

Now, I'm tired, Alice. I am tired
of watching my boys go hungry.

I'm tired of the way
that they look at me.

I'm tired of the way
that you don't.

I've been standing on one leg
for three damn years,

waiting for God to do me a favour.

And He ain't listening.

Mr. Evans.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
This is my horse now.

Come on over here.

Go on.

Don't you be any trouble, Mark.

- Yes, sir.
- All right.

William?

- I wanna come with you.
- Well, you can't.

I can help.

You're 14 years old.

Look, I can ride faster and shoot
better than any one of them.

The Pinkerton's hurt,
Potter's no good,

that railroad man's dead weight,

and that other bastard... William.

William!

I don't have time to argue.
I need you here.

That's that.

That's that.

So, boys, where we headed?

Ain't none of your business where
we're headed, Wade, you're a prisoner.

You don't speak, you don't piss,

you don't goddamn breathe
unless we say so.

You understand that?

Takin' you to Contention.

Putting you on the 3:10 to
Yuma, day after tomorrow.

Shouldn't've told him that.

Relax, friend. Now if we get
separated, I know where to meet up.

I'd like to thank you for
your hospitality, ma'am.

Hope I can send your
husband back all right.

What'd Ben Wade mean about
sending Pa back all right?

Was he saying he was gonna kill him?

Ben Wade don't have to lift a finger.

His gang'll do it for him.

Your father can take care of himself.

Shh.

So, were you conscripted into
Lincoln's army, Mr. Evans,

or did you volunteer?

Neither.

Maybe both.

What does that mean?

Means I was a volunteer in the
Massachusetts State Guard.

Then in '62, the federal
government was runnin' low on men

so they called in the state
militias to protect Washington.

And that's when you got hurt.

What are you doing out here, Dan?

You got a family to protect.

You're not a lawman. You
don't work for the railroad

like Mr. Shiny Shoes over there.

Not a Pinkerton.

Maybe I don't like the idea
of men like you on the loose.

It's man's nature to
take what he wants, Dan.

That's how we're born.

Well, I make an honest living.

Might be honest, but I don't
think it's much of a livin'.

You must be hurtin' bad
for money to take this job.

Go to sleep.

I imagine debt puts a lot
of pressure on a marriage.

Oh, you imagine?

What would you know about marriage?

We can't all be cutthroats and thieves.

Well, I know if I was lucky
enough to have a wife like Alice,

I'd treat her a whole lot
better than you do, Dan.

I'd feed her better,
buy her pretty dresses,

wouldn't make her work so hard.

Yeah, I'll bet Alice was a real
pretty girl before she married you.

You shut up about my wife!
You shut up about her.

You say one more word, and
I'll cut you down right here.

Right here.

I like this side of you, Dan.

Mr. Evans.

Okay.

It's my watch now.

♪ But the posse was a-waitin'

♪ To get me on the trail

to ask for a little quiet.

Well, the way I figured it,

is I'd be asleep in my own bed
right now if it weren't for you.

So, if I gotta be up, well, then,

you're damn well
gonna be up with me, too,

Ben Wade.

Son of a bitch!

Enough!

Enough!

That's enough, McElroy.

We have to bury him.

Take the time to dig one grave,

might as well dig one for yourself.

McELROY: Let's go. Mount up!

♪ Gonna hang me in the mornin'

♪ I'll never see the sun ♪

Don't you worry there, Boss. We're
gonna get you out of there in a second.

Charlie!

Wait! Wait!

Sutherland.

Jackson.

No.

No. Don't do this.

Don't do this.

Don't do this.

- Where is he?
- Open the door.

Open the door. Let me out
of here, God damn it!

Where did they take him?

I don't know!

Mister, you better tell me
where they took him

or you will burn.

Contention! All right?

They're going to Contention.

They're gonna put him on the
3:10 to Yuma Prison tomorrow!

Let me outta here!

Contention is

80 miles back the other way.

We'd have to about kill our horses.

So we'll buy new ones.

Charlie, it's his own
fault he got caught.

He made a mistake.

You think you could do a
better job leading this crew?

Maybe.

You forgot what he done for us.

We're going to Contention!

Can't say I didn't warn you.

There's a shortcut we could take.

Shortcut?

Through the pass.

Takes you right through to Contention.

Why didn't you say something before?

That's Apache country.

I thought the government gave them land.

These are the ones refused to go.

I wouldn't take that pass.

- Oh, you'd like us to take the long way?
- That's right.

And let your boys catch us?

Mr. Butterfield,

the Apache that live in that pass
are the ones that stayed to fight.

They enjoy killing.

You ain't gonna make it.

We'll take our chances.

Something on your mind, Dan?

Why'd you kill Tucker?

Why not me, or Butterfield?

Well, Tucker took my horse.

Did you like him, Dan?

No.

He told me he burnt down your barn.

He was an asshole.

But wishing him dead and killing
him are two different things.

Your conscience is sensitive, Dan.

I don't think it's my
favourite part of you.

Button it up, Mr. Wade. You wanna
talk to somebody, talk to me.

I don't like talking to you, Byron.

Not when I have the gun.

No, that ain't it.

I just don't find you
that interesting.

Laugh it up, Doc, till
he guts you like a fish.

Byron's like a song with one note.

You ever read another book in your
life, Byron, 'sides the Bible?

No need.

Byron acts pious.

Few years ago, when he was
under contract to Central,

I seen him and a bunch of other Pinks

mow down 32 Apache women and children.

Renegades, gunning down railroad
men and their families.

Picking them off the road,
one by one, scalping them.

There was young ones running
around, crying and screaming.

No more than three years old.

And his boys shot them all,
then pushed them into a ditch.

Some of them were still crying.

But I guess Byron figured
that Jesus wouldn't mind.

Apparently, Jesus don't
like the Apache.

Keep on talking.

All the way to Yuma,
right up them steps,

to the rope, straight to Hell.

Day I die, Byron,

I'm getting sprung from Hell.

I might feel the same

if I come from the seed
of a drunk gravedigger

and the rancid womb of a whore.

Drop it, Dan Evans! Drop it!

Toss that to the ground, Doc.

Mr. Butterfield.

Now, I believe, Dan, you're
carrying a pistol as well.

I'd appreciate it if you take that out
and drop it on the ground, thank you.

Now I always liked you, Byron.

But you never knew when to shut up.

Even bad men love their mamas.

Now I think it's time
for everybody to go home.

Don't you move, Mr. Wade.

Let go of that shotgun.

William, what the hell
are you doing here?

Now, I don't think you gonna shoot a man
you admire in the back of the head, boy.

Dan, tell your boy it's over.

You think you can keep
your gun on him, William?

I'm doing a damn sight
better than you did.

You ever been to Dodge City?

No.

Stop talking to him.

The way you're shuffling those
cards, I took you for a pro.

I practise a lot.

I can tell.

You ever been to Dodge?

Yes, indeed.

Meanest, most beautiful,
dirty city there ever was.

Saloons just overflowing with
cattle drivers and road agents,

prospectors and gunslingers,
gamblers and women.

Women who'll do things to you
you'll never forget.

They'll give you a disease
you'll never forget.

Money in your pocket in Dodge City,

you can have everything
a man ever wished for.

Everything a man comes to need.

I got there on my own as a boy
not much bigger than you.

And how many men you
killed since then, Wade?

How many families you destroyed?

Quite a few.

Is it true that you dynamited
a wagonful of prospectors

in the Western territories last spring?

No, that's a lie.

It was a trainful.

Well, Dan.

I gotta take a piss.

You know, I thought he was gonna
shoot me back in the ravine.

I really thought he was gonna do it.

You know, there's a wildness
in his eyes. It reminds me of...

He's gonna be nothing like you, Wade.

William's got a head start
on the path of decency.

Yeah, that's why I don't mess around
with doing anything good, Dan.

You do one good deed for somebody,

I imagine it's habit-forming,

something decent.

You see that grateful
look in their eyes.

I imagine it makes you
feel like Christ hisself.

All right, I had enough of this Wade.
Come along, let's go.

Shh.

William.

- There's three of them.
- Yours?

If they were mine you'd be dead.

Give me that gun, Wade!

Wade?

Wade!

I told you not to come this way.

It was McElroy's decision.

I told you there'd be trouble.

Give me the keys to the handcuffs.

Now, easy.

Easy now.

Where is he?

He's gone.

Took the horses with him.
I found this in the grass.

It's the quickest way out of the pass.

He'll be looking for help
getting those cuffs off.

We're going after him?

Well, there ain't no reward for getting
him halfway to that train, is there?

I'll be honest with y'all,
I like some of their food,

but as for wanting $40 a month
now, like them Irish up north...

Goddamn coolies. Work just fine
with my left boot up their ass.

Well, if I could teach
a monkey to lay track...

Yeah, well, what we need is some
Negroes brung in here, Mr. Boles.

Show these Chinamen what real work is.

Holy Christ.

Who's that?

That's him.

You, help me with the handcuffs.

Break the chain, use the hammer.
Break the chain.

I got five guns on you out
here, Ben Wade! Best come on out!

The horses.

What in the hell's going on here?

Mr. Butterfield, all finished in Bisbee?

Mr. Boles.

Better hurry. We making a last blast
through the mountains this week.

That's my prisoner.

I'm taking him to Contention, putting
him on the prison train to Yuma.

What prisoner?

Come now, Mr. Boles. That's
Ben Wade you have there.

Ben Wade gunned down my kid
brother, in front of me,

six years ago in Abilene.

Your brother was a lying,
bilking card sharp.

That is, if he's
the asshole I remember.

Could, of course, been some other
asshole I killed that I forgot about.

You can't do that. That's immoral.

Moral ain't got a damn
thing to do with it.

I was expecting to collect
a $200 reward for that man.

I'm delivering him to Contention.
I need that money.

You need it bad enough to die?

Well, at least let us take our horses.

I got no problem with that.

As long as you ride away, mister.

Nice knowing you, Dan.

Did you see me get
that one with the shovel?

Doc! Doc!

Dan!

Get out!

God damn it!

Did we make it?

Did we get away?

Yeah, Doc, we did.

Thanks to you.

We need a place to lay low.

Keep him out of sight
till the train comes.

There's a hotel up here. I'll check
us in, you ride around back.

All right. Follow me.

Hey, William, you go keep
a watch at the railhead.

You see them coming...
I'll let you know.

William?

There's a can-can on the
hour if you're interested.

It's the bridal suite.

Hope you don't mind.
It's all they had.

Well, well.

That looks like rain
clouds over Bisbee.

Still need that $200, Dan?

Shut up.

Mr. Evans, you continue
to give me great confidence.

Well, it ain't 3:10 yet.

I'm gonna go see about the marshal.

Come on, move. Let's go.

We're looking for a group

escorting an outlaw
by the name of Ben Wade.

Yeah. We been chasing them
through these tunnels.

Who are you?

What's it to you?

Ben Wade killed my brother.

Then your brother must be famous.

You boys

some kind of posse?

I hate posses.

So, this is the bridal suite.

Now I wonder how many brides
have taken in this view.

What are you gonna do
with your $200 now, Dan?

Now that the rains are coming.

I owe people money, Wade.

That drought left me in the hole.

Well, what do you think
about double that amount?

You could pay your debts,
buy 100 more cows,

build a new barn.

And how do you reckon
I'm gonna do that?

Just lay down your gun and let me walk
out the door. It's worth $400 to me.

Is that what you reckon my price is?

No.

No, I reckon it's a thousand.

One thousand dollars.

Now there was ten times that
amount on Butterfield's coach.

Oh, yeah. You want my cut, Dan?

It's all yours.

Isn't that kind of
reckless of you, Wade?

Seeing as you're so sure that
your crew's coming to get you?

Oh, they're coming, Dan.

Sure as God's vengeance,
they're coming.

But I just like to do things easy.

Imagine what you could
do with $1,000, Dan.

You could hire
a couple of ranch hands,

your boys could go to school,
grow up smart.

And what about Alice?

She would be the proud wife of
a bona fide Arizona rancher.

All you got to do is say yes.

Well, would you give me
a bank note, Wade?

Or maybe you'd be kind enough
to make a deposit for me?

Cash.

Well, you tell me, Wade. How would
I account for that amount of money?

What would I tell people
when I spend it?

That you got the jump on me, you
escaped and somehow I got a fortune?

Hmm?

How dumb do you think people are?

Nobody needs to know.

You know what?
Would you do me a favour?

Don't talk to me for a while.

You mean we're still not friends?

No.

No, we're not.

Come five minutes to three, we're gonna
be a hell of a lot closer than you think.

♪ They're gonna hang
me in the mornin'

♪ 'Fore the night is done

♪ They're gonna hang me
in the mornin'

♪ I'll never see the sun ♪

Who is it?

It's me, Dan. I brought help.

You been gone a long time,
Mr. Butterfield.

How do I know somebody ain't
got a gun on you out there?

Dan, this is Marshal Will Doane.

Marshal.

Mr. Evans.

Two of my finest men. Harvey Pell,

Sam Fuller.

I'm sorry about all that, Marshal.
I really am grateful for the help.

Don't mention it.

So, you fellas really gonna
help put me on this train?

It may not seem like it, Mr. Wade,

but we got law and order in
this town, just like any other.

Well, that's very reassuring, Marshal.

How much is Butterfield paying you?

That's none of your business.

You gonna come with us?

Oh, I'll be walking with you.

Every step of the way.

You have my word on that, Dan.

So, there's five of us.
Five is good.

It ain't enough.

It ain't nearly enough.

Pa!

That's my boy.

They're coming.

They're coming this way.
I seen 'em. Where?

About a mile out. Same way we come.

How many are there?

Seven, eight.

Which is it, boy? Seven or eight?

Seven.

Folks, sorry to bother you,

but I'm gonna need you all to move
outside as quickly as possible.

That's it, folks.

Thank you very much. That's it,
move along, folks. Move along.

Now, come on, now.

Hey, get out of my way!

Right there.

Sure are a lot of 'em.

I didn't figured on
it being the whole gang.

Boss?

Boss?

Boss, are you in there?

What do you want me to tell him?

You tell him you'll write him
a letter every day from Yuma.

You be careful, Wade.

Charlie. Boys.

Hey, boss. Hey, boss.

Charlie, why don't you take the boys
down to the saloon and buy 'em a drink?

You Okay?

Oh, I'm fine. Just sittin' up
here with my four new friends...

Hey.

That's enough.

Thank you, Charlie.

Boys.

Listen up!

Listen up!

That's Ben Wade they have up there!

Ben Wade!

Now, the railroad intends

to put him on the 3:10 to Yuma

and hang him.

What's he doing?

We will give you 200 cash dollars

to any man who shoots
any one of his captors.

Two hundred cash dollars, guaranteed!

Two hundred dollars, guaranteed!

- You got me.
- I'll tell you now, mister...

I'll take 200. Give me the money.

Well, you gotta shoot 'em first.

There's gotta be 30 or 40
more guns out there now.

Aw, to hell with this.

Now, just a minute, Marshal.

Look, if it's a fair fight,
well, sure, I'd stay for that.

A fair fight, that...

That's a man's duty, but...

But there's only five of us.

I'm sorry, mister, but I'm
not gonna die here today.

And neither are my men.

Marshal.

You forgot this.

Marshal.

Marshal! Marshal,
let's talk this through.

We can renegotiate!

Now, you see, Dan, generally,
pretty much everyone

wants to live.

I'll double your money!

Let's go, boys.

Please, do you wanna see us
shot down in the street?

This thing happened in Bisbee.

Now, that means Butterfield, too.

Why bring your troubles to Contention?

We've got families. Every
one of us is a family man.

I'm a family man, too.

He's gonna walk out on you.

Then you best get out,
like the rest of us.

He's gonna come back up here
and he's gonna walk out on you.

Now what you gotta figure is why
you and your boy are gonna die.

All because Butterfield's
railroad lost some money?

That all of 'em?

Almost.

Your move, general.

What do you expect him to say?

I expect him to say
something that makes sense.

Something that might
save the two of you.

Take a look, Dan.

What's the matter?
You don't wanna see?

I'll see 'em soon enough.

What about you, kid?
You wanna look?

You stay away from
the window, William.

Go on, take a look.

They're animals, all of 'em.

Campos, dance hall.
Jackson, back door.

They're gonna kill you and
your father, William.

And they're gonna laugh
while they do it.

I think you know that.

Call them off.

Why should I?

Because you're not all bad.

Yes, I am.

You saved us from those Indians.

I saved myself.

You got us through the tunnels,
you helped us get away.

If I'd had a gun in them tunnels,

I would've used it on you.

I don't believe you.

Kid, I wouldn't last five minutes
leading an outfit like that

if I wasn't as rotten as hell.

Dan.

I can't do it, Dan.

And if I can't do it,
you shouldn't do it, either.

Well, they say discretion is
the better part of valour.

If you think you have an
obligation to me or to the railroad,

I assure you, you do not.
I am releasing you.

It's just you left, Dan.

Just you and your boy.

Maybe he's right, Pa.
Maybe we should go home.

Well, what did Doc Potter
give his life for, William?

And McElroy?

Little red ants on a hill.

I'll pay you the 200, Dan.
Right now. And you can walk away.

You know, this whole ride,
it's been nagging on me.

That's what the government
gave me for my leg.

$198.36.

And the funny thing is that,
when you think about it,

which I have been lately, is they
weren't paying me to walk away.

They were paying me
so they could walk away.

Don't muddy the past
and the present, Dan.

No, no, no, Wade. I'm seeing
the world the way it is.

If you take him to the train,
Pa, I'm going with you.

No. Mr. Butterfield is
gonna take you home.

- No, I'm not going anywhere...
- Yes, you are.

I'm staying here with you.

You're gonna hold up
in a room across the hall.

You're gonna wait until we leave.

I'll get him to Bisbee.
Dan, I promise you.

Oh, you're gonna promise me a lot
more than that, Butterfield.

I want guarantees
that Hollander and his boys

will never set foot
on my land again,

and that my water's gonna flow.

And I expect you to hand my wife
1,000 cash dollars when you see her.

You got money to spare.

I can deliver that.
Just get him on the train.

You heard him?

I heard him.

William,

I want you to give this
back to your mother.

I want you to tell her that it
helped me find what was right.

Pa.

I can't just leave you.

I'm gonna be a day
behind you, William.

Unless something happens. And if
it does, I need a man at the ranch

to run things, protect our family.

And I know that you can do that because
you've become a fine man, William.

You've become a fine man. You
got all the best parts of me.

What few there are.

And you just remember

that your old man walked
Ben Wade to that station

when nobody else would.

You know, squeezing that
watch won't stop time.

Don't get so scared.
You might back a bad move.

You ever read the Bible, Dan?

I read it one time.

I was eight years old.

My daddy had just got hisself
killed over a shot of whisky.

And my mama said we were going
back East to start over.

So, she gave me a Bible,

sat me down at the train
station, told me to read it.

She was gonna get our tickets.

Well, I did what she said.

I read that Bible from cover to cover.

Took me three days.

She never came back.

It's time.

It's a half-mile to
the station from here, Dan.

I guess we're walking.

Lucky.

What?

Dan.

Thanks. Move!

You might not get a chance to
use those Schofields, Charlie.

Perhaps you can explain to me the
next portion of your plan, Dan.

Hey! Hey!

Not the black hat!

The rancher, you dumb shits!

The rancher!

Charlie!

Boss?

Boss?

Let's go! White door! Move it!

All right.

I ain't doing this no more, Dan.

I'm getting you on that train, Wade.

You stubborn bastard!

Your boy's gone, hero.

Ain't nobody watching no more.

You still got that one good leg.
Why don't you use it to get on home?

Charlie!

- Charlie Prince!
- Yeah, Boss?

Hold your fire! I'm walkin' out!

Hold your fire! Hold your fire!

I ain't never been no hero, Wade.

Only battle I seen,
we was in retreat.

My foot got shot off
by one of my own men.

You try telling
that story to your boy,

see how he looks at you then.

Boss? Boss!

Okay, Dan.

Son.

They're on the roofs!
They're on the roofs!

Boss?

Boss!

Boss! Drop!

- Can you make this?
- Yeah.

Come on!

Spread out!

What time is it?

'Bout ten past three.

Where's the 3:10 to Yuma?

Running late, I suppose.

How late?

Beats me. Gets here
when it gets here.

Goddamn trains.

Never can rely on them, huh?

And you know

I ain't stubborn.

Excuse me?

You said I was stubborn for keeping
my family on a dying ranch.

It's my son, Mark. The young one.

He got tuberculosis when he was two.

The doctor said he'd die if he
didn't have a dry climate, so I...

Why are you telling me this?

I don't know.

I guess I just wanted you to know

that I ain't stubborn, is all.

- Well, as long as we're making confessions...
- Yeah?

I've been to Yuma Prison before.

Twice. Escaped twice, too.

First car, sliding door.

They'll be coming.

Now.

I got a prisoner to go to Yuma!

Well, you did it, Dan.

No!

Pa!

For a one-legged rancher,

he's one tough son of a bitch.

Ben.

You done it, Pa.

You done it.

You got him on the train.

Pa?
