COME IN.

WHAT IS IT, CAPTAIN?

THE MEN WHO BROUGHT IN
THOSE HORSES WOULD LIKE TO
SPEAK TO YOU.

ARE THEY WAITING?
YES, SIR.

COME ON IN, MEN.

MAJOR HAMMOND,

THIS IS EDDIE DEAN
AND SOAPY JONES.

SAVE THE INTRODUCTIONS,
THEY'RE OLD FRIENDS OF MINE.

HOW ARE YOU?FINE, MAJOR.

GOOD OLD SOAPY.

ARE YOU STILL
KEEPING THINGS CLEAN?

YOU LIKE THE JOKES,
DON'T YOU, MAJOR?

MAKE YOURSELVES
AT HOME.

SOAPY AND I JUST
RAN OUT OF HORSES,

WE DELIVERED THE LAST
OF THE HERD TODAY.

AND JUST IN TIME.

I'VE LOCATED 300 HEAD
OVER NEAR DOW CITY,

THE ONLY HERD
WITHIN 200 MILES.

ARE THEY FOR SALE?

HERE'S A LETTER
FROM J.C. MORGAN HIMSELF

WITH THE QUOTATION--
$30 A HEAD.

WE'LL PURCHASE THEM
IMMEDIATELY.

$9000 ISN'T TOO HIGH
A PRICE TO PAY

IF WE CAN ENSURE
THE PROTECTION
OF THE RAILROAD WORKERS.

YOU'VE GOT SOME TROUBLE?

THAT'S PUTTING IT MILDLY.

THE OUTLAWS IN THIS VICINITY
ARE WORSE THAN EVER,

AND IT APPEARS
THAT THE RAILROAD

IS THE FOCAL POINT
OF THEIR OUTRAGES.

EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO
THERE ARE RAIDS

ON THE EQUIPMENT,
THE SUPPLIES,

WITH THE RESULT THAT
THE LINE IS NO CLOSER

TO ITS COMPLETION
THAN IT WAS A MONTH AGO.

MAYBE SOMEBODY HAS
A PERSONAL GRIEVANCE
AGAINST THE LINE.

MAYBE SOMEBODY
REALIZES THAT

WITH THE COMING
OF THE RAILROAD
COMES PEOPLE,

AND WITH SOME PEOPLE,
COMES LAW.

WHATEVER THE REASON,
THEY'VE JUST ABOUT BROUGHT

THE PROGRESS OF
THE RAILROAD
TO A STANDSTILL.

AND WITHOUT SUFFICIENT MOUNTS,
WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO

GIVE THEM
ADEQUATE PROTECTION.

THESE MORGAN HORSES ARE
THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.

YOU'RE SURE LUCKY OLD J.C.
SAW FIT TO WRITE YOU.

THE SOONER WE CAN
GET THOSE HORSES,

THE QUICKER
THE RAILROAD COMPANY
CAN COMPLETE ITS JOB.

IT SAYS HERE
IF YOU BUY THE HORSES,

YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE DELIVERY
AT THE RANCH

AND PAY CASH IN ADVANCE.

AND THAT'S WHERE
YOU COME IN.

I'D LIKE TO HAVE YOU
INSPECT THOSE HORSES,

IF YOU FIND THEM ACCEPTABLE,
TELL MORGAN HE HAS A SALE.

WHEN WE HEAR FROM YOU,

THE CAPTAIN WILL DRAW
THE NECESSARY MONEY,

SEND IT TO YOU,
AND YOU CAN CLOSE THE DEAL.

YOU'D MAKE A PRETTY FAIR
HORSE TRADER YOURSELF, MAJOR.

HA HA! I HOPE SO.

YAHOO!

YAHOO!

TWO BITS TO A HEN'S TOOTH
HE'LL DO IT AGAIN.

CUT HIM LOOSE.

I TOLD YA--
IT'S PRETTY CLEAR TO ME

WHICH ONE OF YA'S
GONNA GET BROKE.

THAT'S ENOUGH FOR TODAY.

YOU MEAN THAT BRONCO,
OR ARE YOU
SPEAKING OF YOURSELF?

I MEAN HIM, OF COURSE.

AND NONE OF YOUR WISECRACKS.

YOU AIN'T DONE HIM
A BIT OF GOOD.

HE'S AS WILD AS EVER.

JUST GIVE ME TIME,
I'LL CORRAL HIM.

YOU AIN'T THE HAND WITH HORSES
YOUR FATHER WAS.

I ADMIT I MAY NOT BE
AS GOOD AT BREAKIN' 'EM,

BUT I'VE GOT SOME NEW IDEAS
ABOUT SELLIN' THEM
THAT MIGHT WORK OUT.

JENNY, IF YOU THINK
YOU'RE GONNA GET ANYWHERE

SIGNING YOUR NAME "J.C."

AND MAKING PEOPLE THINK
THEY'RE DEALING WITH A MAN,

YOU'RE JUST PLAIN LOCO.

WELL, LISTEN,
TENNESSEE,

THERE ISN'T A MAN ALIVE
WHO WOULD TRADE HORSES WITH ME

WITHOUT TRYIN'
TO OUTSMART ME

IF HE KNEW HE WAS
DEALING WITH A WOMAN.

OH, WHOEVER HEARD OF
A WOMAN HORSE TRADER?

I TELL YA,
IT'S SACRILEGE!

AW, THAT'S WHAT
ALL YOU MEN SAY.

POP LEFT ME A GOOD RANCH

AND I'M GOING TO
MAKE A SUCCESS OF IT.

THIS IS A MAN'S WORLD,

AND I'M GOING TO
TREAT IT ACCORDINGLY.

I TELL YA, JENNY,
YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.

AND STOP CALLING ME JENNY!

MY NAME HAPPENS TO BE
JENNIFER COLLETTA,

AND IF I CHOOSE
TO BE CALLED J.C.,
THAT'S MY BUSINESS.

YOU'RE MY RANCH FOREMAN,
NOT MY BOSS.

ALL RIGHT, J.C.

BUT I WAS YOUR
FATHER'S FOREMAN, TOO,

AND IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE
THE SAME KIND OF FIRE HE HAD,

I WOULDN'T BE
STICKIN' AROUND.

THANKS, TENNESSEE.

SAY, HOW ABOUT AMBLIN' ON
DOWN TO THE MAILBOX--

THOSE REPLIES OUGHTA BE
COMIN' IN.

SURE THING...J.C.

GO ON.

Tennessee:
HEY, TUCSON.

YOU MIND AMBLIN' DOWN
TO THE MAILBOX?

THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING.

NO, NOT AT ALL.

SENORA?

SI, SENOR.

MIND AMBLIN' DOWN TO SEE
IF THERE'S ANY MAIL?

UNE MOMENTO, SENOR.

OKAY.

SENORITA.

YES?

WOULD YOU DO ME
A BIG FAVOR?

WHAT'S THAT?

I HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO--
PLEASE BRING IN THE MAIL.

ALL RIGHT.

Eddie:
BEG YOUR PARDON, MISS.

WE'RE LOOKIN' FOR J.C. MORGAN.

WELL, I'M J.C. MORGAN.

IF IT'S A JOB
YOU'RE LOOKIN' FOR,

I'M SORRY, I HAVE ALL
THE COWBOYS I NEED RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR
J.C. MORGAN THE HORSE TRADER.

I'M THE HORSE TRADER,
AND I'M ALSO J.C. MORGAN.

AH, NOW I SEE
JUST AS CLEAR AS WATER--

WITH A LITTLE BIT
OF MUD ADDED.

IF YOU'RE REALLY
WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE,

WE'VE COME TO
INSPECT YOUR HORSES
FOR THE ARMY.

YOU WHAT?
OH, THAT'S WONDERFUL NEWS!

I'VE BEEN WAITING
EVERY DAY

FOR A LETTER
FROM MAJOR HAMMOND.

JUST A MINUTE.
TENNESSEE!

HEY, TENNESSEE!
COME HERE!

NOW WHAT IN TARNATION
HAVE YOU GOT IN YOUR BONNET?

WE'VE SOLD THE HORSES
AND AT THE PRICE I QUOTED.

WELL, I DECLARE,
YOU SURE GOT
A HEAD ON YOUR SHOULDERS.

JUST LIKE YOUR OLD MAN.

BUT WE STILL GOT
PLENTY OF WORK TO DO.

AS SOON AS I GET THAT MONEY,
I'M GONNA TAKE YOU

AND ALL THE BOYS TO DOW CITY
FOR A BIG CELEBRATION!

AH AH--THERE'S
JUST ONE HITCH.

WHAT'S THAT?

THE MAJOR'S PRETTY FUSSY,

AND WE'LL HAVE TO PASS ON
EVERY HEAD OF THE HERD,

I'M NOT WORRIED,
I'VE GOT THE GREATEST
HORSES IN THE WORLD.

YOU CAN STAY IN
THE MAIN BUNKHOUSE

WITH THE REST OF THE HANDS.

HEY, SENORA!

PUT ON A COUPLE MORE HELPINGS--
WE'VE GOT COMPANY FOR SUPPER.

SI, SI,
J.C.

ISN'T THIS WONDERFUL?

HA HA!

HELLO, TUCSON.

HOWDY, MARINO.

WHAT BRINGS YOU
TO TOWN?

I GOT SOME BAD NEWS.

I JUST LEARNED THAT THE ARMY'S
GONNA BUY THE MORGAN HORSES.

THAT IS BAD.

IF THEY DO THAT, JOE,

YOUR FREIGHT LINE WILL BE
FORCED RIGHT OUT OF BUSINESS.

WON'T BE SO GOOD
FOR YOU EITHER, CLEM.

YOU KNOW, TRAINS CARRY PEOPLE
AS WELL AS FREIGHT.

IT'LL BE REAL COMPETITION
FOR YOUR STAGECOACH LINE.

AT LEAST YOU TWO
OWN THE DOW SALOON,

PRETTY FANCY PLACE
TO FALL BACK ON.

AND WITH THE NEW PEOPLE,
MAKE IT KINDA PROSPEROUS.

THE COMING OF TOO MANY PEOPLE
ALWAYS BRINGS LAW AND ORDER,

CHURCHES, SCHOOLS,

AND A LOT OF CRACKPOTS
AGAINST GAMBLING AND DRINKING!

NO, TUCSON, YOU'RE ALL WRONG--

THE COMING OF THE RAILROAD
WILL BE DISASTROUS FOR US.

THEN WE MUST NOT
LET THAT HAPPEN.

I ALMOST FORGOT YOU TWO
COULDN'T MAKE AN HONEST LIVING.

YOU'RE NOT BEING PAID
TO BE SMART--

JUST DO AS YOU'RE TOLD.

WELL, WHAT ARE
WE GONNA DO?

YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP THOSE HORSES
OUT OF THEIR HANDS,

AND WE DON'T CARE
HOW YOU DO IT.

THAT REMINDS ME...
AS THE POSTMASTER,

I'M STILL GETTING
THESE NOTICES
FROM THE STATE.

PUT IT AWAY--THE PICTURE
DOESN'T DO ME JUSTICE.

YOU'VE GOT
PLENTY OF HELP.

I'LL CALL ON 'EM
WHEN I NEED 'EM.

HANK, GIMME A DRINK.

MISS MORGAN,
WE'VE INSPECTED
ALL THE HORSES,

AND I'VE WRITTEN
TO THE MAJOR

ASKING HIM TO
SEND YOUR MONEY
RIGHT AWAY.

THAT'S MIGHTY NICE OF YA.

I GUESS YOU'LL BE
HITTIN' THE TRAIL PRETTY SOON.

YEP. WE'LL BE LEAVIN'
IN THE MORNING.

YOUR BOYS ARE GIVING
A LITTLE GET-TOGETHER

FOR SOAPY AND I TONIGHT.

I, UH, HOPE YOU'LL
BE ABLE TO JOIN US.

WELL, THANKS,
I'LL TRY TO MAKE IT.

HERE, LET ME DO IT.

HERE WE WAS,
ME AND COLONEL CUSTER,

COOPED UP IN A BOX CANYON
WITH 25,000 INDIANS
A-BEARIN' DOWN ON US.

WE WAS DOWN TO
OUR LAST ROUND
OF AMMUNITION.

THE COLONEL GOT SO DARN MAD,

HE STOMPED HIS FOOT,
HE CAUSED AN EARTHQUAKE.

THE GROUND OPENED UP
AND SWALLOWED

EVERY ONE OF THEM INDIANS
QUICKER THAN A WHISTLE,

AND WE WALKED OUT OF THERE
WITH JUST ENOUGH BULLETS

TO SHOOT OURSELVES
A COUPLE OF RABBITS FOR SUPPER.

YOU THINK THAT'S SOMETHING?

YEAH?
EDDIE?

SAY ABOUT ME IN OKLAHOMA.

[L, ,GO
cgon:

YOU MEN KEEP 'EM MOVIN'.

SWIM 'EM DOWN THE RIVER
TO THE FORK

AND THEN HEAD 'EM OFF
INTO LOST CANYON.

BEAUTIFH
OF HORSES, TUCSON.

SURE LUCKY THERE
AIN'T NO BRANDS ON 'EM.

WE COUL A#S 'EM OFFACROSS THE BORDER

ANM$SELVES& &ELTHE BOYS AND IX [.
FOLLOWED THE TRACKS

AS FAR AS WE COULD
AND LOST 'EM AT THE RIVER.

THOSE HORSES WERE JUST LIKE
MONEY IN THE BANK.

THEY REPRESENTED
A GENERATION OF CARE
AND BREEDING,

AND NOW, FOR WHAT?

ONLY TO HAVE THEM STOLEN
BY A BAND OF OUTLAWS

FROM THAT LAWLESS HOLE
OF DOW CITY!

WE AIN'T GOT ANY PROOF
THAT IT WAS THEM HOMBRES

THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

WE KNOW THIS MUCH--
IT'S A LAWLESS HOLE,

AND NO GOOD MEN HANG OUT
WHERE THERE'S NO LAW.

YOU'RE RIGHT THERE,

BUT THERE'S NOTHIN'
WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

UNLESS THE CITIZENS
BAND TOGETHER AND ELECT
A PEACE OFFICER.

WELL, THERE'S ONE THING
I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

WHEN THOSE ARMY MEN
GET HERE TOMORROW,

I'M GOING TO
APPEAL TO THEM FOR HELP.

I'M GOING TO START
AN INVESTIGATION OF THAT TOWN

AND KNOW THE REASON WHY!

SOAPY AND I HAVE DECIDED
TO STICK AROUND A WHILE LONGER.

SO MUCH IS HAPPENING,
YOU MIGHT NEED US.

THANKS A LOT.

I TOLD YOU WE'D NEVER GET BY
WITH STEALING THOSE HORSES.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

AN ARMY ATTACHMENT
IS ON ITS WAY HERE
TO BUY THEM,

AND WHEN THEY ARRIVE,

MISS MORGAN'S GONNA
DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION.

WHY, THAT'S THE SAME
AS MARTIAL LAW--

THAT'S AWFUL--
IT'S TERRIBLE!

DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD.

NO LAW'S EVER DARED
COME INTO THIS PART
OF THE TERRITORY.

WE'VE HANDLED IT BEFORE,
WE CAN STILL HANDLE IT.

HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU THINK
THEY'LL BE CARRYING?

I GUESS ABOUT $9,000.

I'M GONNA GIVE YOU THE JOB
OF GETTING THAT MONEY

AND KEEPING THEM
OUT OF HERE.

WE CAN'T AFFORD AN INVESTIGATION
TILL WE GET RID OF THOSE HORSES.

THAT'S A PRETTY TOUGH JOB,
AND IF WE MISS,

WE'RE ASKIN' TROUBLE
FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

YOU'RE IN THIS
JUST AS MUCH AS WE ARE.

DO AS I SAY AND I'LL
GET US ALL OUT OF IT.

COME ON, TRIGGER.

WE'VE GOT SOME MEN
TO ROUND UP
FOR A REAL FIGHT.

Tucson:
THERE'S THEIR CAMP--
WE'RE IN A PERFECT SPOT FOR IT.

WHEN YOUR MEN
DIDN'T SHOW UP AS PLANNED,

I WENT OUT ON THE TRAIL
HOPING TO MEET UP WITH THEM,

AND I FOUND
THEIR LAST CAMPFIRE

AND NOTIFIED
CAPTAIN ROGERS.

THERE WASN'T A MAN
IN THE WHOLE DETACHMENT
THAT ESCAPED, SIR.

NO EVIDENCE AT ALL--
FIRE COMPLETELY
DESTROYED THE CAMP.

DO YOU SUPPOSE
THE APACHE INDIANS
IN THAT AREA

STAGED A WAR
OF THEIR OWN?

DEFINITELY NOT.

THESE RAIDERS
WERE WHITE MEN.

INDIANS WOULDN'T HAVE
STOPPED TO TAKE THE GOLD

THAT YOU WERE SENDING
FOR THE MORGAN HORSES.

THERE WASN'T A SIGN OF IT
IN THE ASHES.

I'M CONVINCED THE MOTIVE
WAS OUT-AND-OUT ROBBERY.

PROBABLY ONE OF
THOSE FUGITIVES

THAT HIDE OUT
IN AND AROUND DOW CITY.

SHALL I PLACE THE TOWN
UNDER MARTIAL LAW

AND PLACE SOME OF
OUR TROOPS THERE?

NO--IN THE FIRST PLACE,
WE CAN'T SPARE THE MEN.

SECONDLY, AN OPEN INVESTIGATION
WOULD PUT THEM ON THEIR GUARD

AND THEY'D
SCATTER LIKE QUAIL.

WE WOULD BE DEFEATED
BEFORE WE EVEN GOT STARTED.

BUT I HAVE A LITTLE IDEA
OF MY OWN THAT MIGHT WORK OUT.

I HATE TO BE
THE ONE TO TELL YOU THIS,

BUT THE MAJOR SENT WORD
THAT THE ARMY

CAN'T SEE ITS WAY CLEAR
TO HAVING AN INVESTIGATION
AT THIS TIME.

SEEMS LIKE
WE'RE JUST ABOUT LICKED.

NO HORSES, NO MONEY,
NO PROTECTION--

I'M BEGINNIN' TO FEAR
FOR OUR VERY LIVES.

SENORITAMORGAN,

I THINK IT WOULD BE
SAFER FOR ME BACK IN SPAIN,

WHERE ALL I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
IS THE BULL IN THE BULL RING.

YOUR OTHER RANCH HANDS
ARE ABOUT READY TO WALK OFF,

BUT TENNESSEE AND I
ARE WILLING TO STICK.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO
WITHOUT ALL OF YOU.

AND I'M GOING TO
FIGHT THIS OUT
IF YOU'LL HELP ME.

WHADDYA MEAN,
FIGHT IT OUT?

WELL, SOMEBODY'S GOT TO MAKE
THE INITIAL MOVE

TO ELECT A PEACE OFFICER
IN DOW CITY.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

IT'D BE A CINCH TO GET
THE VOTES OF THE CITIZENS,

BUT WHO IN THE WORLD
WOULD YOU GET
TO TAKE THE JOB?

YOU.

UH--ME?!

OOOH, NO.

NOT FOR THE WILDEST STRETCH
OF THE IMAGINATION.

BUT I CAN'T BE THE CONSTABLE,
SO YOU'VE GOT TO BE IT FOR ME.

BUT I DON'T KNOW
A DURNED THING ABOUT LAW.

YOU WILL AFTER YOU FINISH
READING THIS LAW BOOK.

THAT MORGAN GIRL
IS GOING THROUGH
WITH HER PLANS.

SHE'S ALREADY GOT THE VOTE
OF EVERY CITIZEN IN TOWN

TO MAKE TENNESSEE
THE CONSTABLE.

SO WHAT?

SHE HASN'T GOT CLEM
OR ME TO BACK HER UP,

EVERYBODY KNOWS
WE RUN THIS TOWN.

BUT SHE'S DETERMINED
THERE'S GONNA BE
AN INVESTIGATION,

TELLING EVERYBODY IT'S STARTING
RIGHT HERE AT THE DOW SALOON.

HEY, BOB.

WE JUST LEARNED SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD KNOW.

DON'T TELL ME
THAT GALS'
GOT YOU SCARED, TOO.

NAH, IT AIN'T THAT.

WE JUST HEARD THAT
WHISTLIN' SAM

GOT WIND OF THE JOB YOU PULLED
AND IS HEADIN' THIS WAY.

WHO'S WHISTLIN' SAM?

EVERYBODY'S HEARD OF HIM.

HE'S KNOWN AS
THE TOUGHEST GUNSLINGER
IN THE TERRITORY.

THEY SAY HE'S GOT
A BAD TEMPER.

SENSE OF HUMOR, TOO.

HE LIKES TO SHOOT A MAN
IN HIS ADAM'S APPLE,

JUST TO SEE HIS HEAD WOBBLE
BEFORE HE HITS THE GROUND.

WHAT DOES HE
LOOK LIKE?

I HEARD HE WASN'T
TOO BAD LOOKIN'.

BUT ALWAYS WITH
BLOOD IN HIS EYE,

AND HE HAS
A MANIA FOR WHISTLING,

ALWAYS WHISTLING,

ESPECIALLY JUST BEFORE
HE GETS READY
TO MURDER SOMEBODY.

[ whistling ]

IT'S HIM, ALL RIGHT--
ALWAYS RIDES A BLACK HORSE.

WHY THAT'S THE HOMBRE
WHO'S BEEN POSING

AS THE INSPECTOR
OUT AT THE MORGAN RANCH.

PRETTY SMART OPERATOR.

PROBABLY FIGURED ON
GETTING HIMSELF THE HORSES,

ONLY WE BEAT HIM TO IT.

WHAT ARE WE GONNA
DO ABOUT IT?

TAKE HIM INTO THE GANG,

MAKE HIM A DEAL TO
STRING ALONG WITH US.

GOOD IDEA--BETTER TO HAVE HIM
FOR US THAN AGAINST US.

WELL, COUNT ME OUT OF THIS.

[ whistling ]

WHAT'S IT GONNA BE, MEN?

GIMME A GREAT, BIG,
LONG, TALL SNORT.

WHAT BRAND?

MAKE IT ICE WATER.

THAT GOES FOR ME, TOO.

WHEN YOU'RE THIRSTY,

THERE'S NOTHING
IN THE WORLD LIKE IT.

AAH.

WELL?
TO YOU.

TO ME.

AAH!

YOU'RE STRANGERS
IN THESE PARTS,
AREN'T YOU?

SORT OF.

FROM THE LOOKS OF THINGS,
WE'RE GONNA LIKE IT AROUND HERE.

EEE-YOW!

WHERE YOU FROM?

DOWN AROUND
THE BORDER.

ANY OBJECTIONS?

NO, ON THE CONTRARY--
WE HEARD YOU WERE
HEADING THIS WAY,

WE'VE BEEN KIND OF
EXPECTING YOU, SAM.

SAM? THE NAME'S EDDIE,
EDDIE DEAN.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT
MAY BE NOW.

BUT LET'S YOU AND I
QUIT FOOLING EACH OTHER.

WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE
WHISTLING SAM,

AND I'M PERFECTLY WILLING
TO CUT YOU IN WITH THE BOYS.

WE TRY TO
GET ALONG TOGETHER HERE,

THERE'S PLENTY OF PICKIN'S
FOR EVERYBODY.

BUT WE DON'T
WANT ANY TROUBLE.

COME ON OVER
AND MEET THE BOYS.

He thinks you're that
no-good polecat Whistlin' Sam.

Is that bad?

It is if he shows up.

He won't, he's in the pen.

I heard he just got out.

At any rate,
he's not around here.

Might as well play ball,
we might learn something.

Not me, I ain't hankerin'
for no learnin' that bad.

Come on, we ain't
got nothin' to lose.

Maybe you haven't
but I have.

TENNESSEE, YOU MAKE
A WONDERFUL-LOOKING LAWMAN.

YEAH, I DO AT THAT.

AND YOU'RE MAKING ME
THE HAPPIEST GIRL
IN THE WORLD.

THERE WASN'T ANYTHING
I WOULDN'T DO FOR YOUR FATHER,

THAT GOES FOR YOU, TOO.

HERE'S YOUR BOOK...

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

YEAH...

I KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Tennessee:
I WOULD LIKE IT QUIET, PLEASE.

TAKE A LOOK AT
OUR NEW CONSTABLE, MEN.

I HEARD THERE WAS
AN ILL WIND BLOWING,

BUT I HARDLY EXPECTED IT
TO BLOW IN HERE.

[ laughter ]

I SAID QUIET!

SOME OF YOU MEN'LL BE
LAUGHIN' ON

THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR FACE
WHEN I GET THROUGH WITH YOU.

AS YOU ALL KNOW,
A DETAILED CAVALRY WAS ROBBED

AND THEN MURDERED
IN COLD BLOOD.

I'M HERE TO INVESTIGATE IT.

THE JUDICIAL CODE SAYS
IN ORDER TO PROSECUTE,

THERE'S GOTTA BE SOME EVIDENCE.

IN ORDER TO GET EVIDENCE,

I'VE GOT A FEW QUESTIONS
TO ASK YOU MEN.

LISTEN TO HIM,

SOUND LIKE HE'S
TAKING THIS JOB
SERIOUSLY.

HE SOUNDS LIKE
HE SWALLOWED
THE DICTIONARY.

LIKE OR NOT,

I'M GONNA QUESTION
EVERY MAN OF YOU
ONE AT A TIME.

AND THE MAN OR MEN
WHO AIN'T GOT AN ALIBI

AS TO HIS WHEREABOUTS
ON THE NIGHT OF THE 5TH,

IS COMIN' WITH ME
TO THE JAIL,

AND THE ALIBI'S GOTTA BE
ONE THAT I BELIEVE.

I'LL START WITH YOU.

YOU AIN'T STARTIN' WITH ME,
I'M JUST LEAVIN'.

OH, NO YOU AIN'T.

IN ORDER TO KEEP WITHIN THE LAW,
YOU GOTTA ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.

WAIT A MINUTE, MEN.

WE WERE JUST GONNA
TEACH THE OLD BOY A LESSON.

HELP HIM UP, SOAPY.

WHY, YOU--
YOU WOULD HIT ME
WHEN I WASN'T LOOKIN'.

YOU UNGRATEFUL OLD GOAT,
AND ME TRYIN' TO HELP YA--

I OUGHTA PUNCH YOU
RIGHT IN THE--

HOLD IT, SOAPY.

DON'T YOU THINK HE'S
A LITTLE OUTNUMBERED?

I DON'T LIKE TO SEE A MAN
TAKIN' UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.

THAT'S KIND OF
A FUNNY WAY FOR YOU
TO TALK.

BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME--
YOU'RE ONE OF THE GANG NOW.

I'M NOT TAKIN' SIDES
WITH ANYONE, YET.

NOT TILL I'VE HAD
A LOOK AROUND TOWN.

MEANTIME, I'LL SHOW YA
HOW TO GET RID OF THE CONSTABLE.

COME ON, YOU AND I ARE
GONNA HAVE A LITTLE TALK.

THERE'S ONE OF
THE SMOOTHEST OPERATORS
I'VE EVER SEEN WORK.

YOU DON'T THINK
HE'D LINE UP

WITH THE LAW
AGAINST US, DO YOU?

WITH HIS REPUTATION?
HE COULDN'T AFFORD TO DO THAT.

THAT'S BETTER.

ACCORDIN' TO THIS BOOK,
I CAN ARREST ALL THOSE MEN

FOR INTERFERIN' WITH
PROCEDIN' OF THE LAW.

YOU'D BE WASTIN' YOUR TIME,
THIS JAIL WOULDN'T HOLD 'EM.

RIGHT...PRETTY DISCOURAGIN'.

WHAT I NEED ARE SOME GOOD MEN
TO HELP ME ENFORCE THE LAW.

SAY, DON'T SUPPOSE YOU TWO
WOULD LEND ME A HAND?

OH, NO, WE'RE
HORSE TRADERS.

SORT OF TRAVELING
HORSE TRADERS.

YEAH, AND WHAT WE LIKE MOST
IS THE TRAVELIN' PART.

GO, EDDIE.

DON'T MOVE.

TENNESSEE, YOU DID
THE WRONG THING

BY ASKIN' 'EM
TO JOIN YA...

BUT YOU DID THE RIGHT THING
BY BRINGIN' 'EM HERE.

HOW'S THAT?

YOU AND I WERE TAKEN ON
A LONG BUGGY RIDE.

BUT THE TRIP'S OVER NOW--

THESE MEN DON'T
WORK FOR THE MAJOR,

THEY'RE OUTLAWS,

AND THEY'RE WANTED
IN EVERY STATE OF THE UNION.

FOUND OUT ABOUT 'EM
BY TUCSON.

IS THAT SO?

YOU CAN HOLSTER YOUR GUN,
MISS MORGAN.

MY PARTNER AND I
DON'T PICK ON LAWMEN...
AND LADIES.

I'LL DO NOTHING OF THE SORT.

TENNESSEE, LOCK THESE MEN UP.

MAYBE IF THEY
STAY IN JAIL LONG ENOUGH,

THEY'LL OPEN UP ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HORSES.

AND THEY MIGHT EVEN REMEMBER
WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE MEN.

IF YOU'LL LISTEN
FOR A SECOND,

I'D BE WILLING TO
COMPROMISE WITH YOU.

KEEP TALKING.

WELL, I'VE GOT AN IDEA
THAT MIGHT WORK OUT.

YOU SEE,
I'M NOT REALLY WANTED,

IT'S SORT OF
A MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

I CAN VOUCH FOR THAT.

I'VE KNOWN HIM
FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS,

HE WOULDN'T
HARM A FLY.

NOBODY ASKED YOU.

NOW, WHAT WAS THIS IDEA
YOU HAD TO SPRING?

I SORT OF FIGURED
THAT AS LONG AS THOSE MEN

THINK I'M AN OUTLAW
AND WANTED ME TO
JOIN UP WITH 'EM,

IT'D BE EASIER
TO LEARN SOMETHING

IF WE LET 'EM
KEEP THINKING THAT WAY.

YOU MEAN YOU'RE WILLING TO
PITCH IN AND HELP US OUT?

THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I MEAN.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL GIVE YOU
A CHANCE TO PROVE
WHAT YOU'VE SAID,

ON ONE CONDITION.

AND WHAT IS THAT?

THAT YOU STAY OUT
AT MY RANCH,

AND YOU ONLY GO AND COME
WITH MY PERMISSION.

OH, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THAT...

AW, GO ON, EDDIE.

YOU STRIKE A HARD BARGAIN,
MISS MORGAN...

BUT I GUESS THERE'S
NOTHING TO DO BUT ACCEPT.

Tucson:
LOSE SOMETHIN'?

NOPE.

THEN WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

YOUR HEADQUARTERS
ARE IN THE MAIN BUNKHOUSE.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, TUCSON,
SINCE YOU BROUGHT IT UP,

YOUR FACE IS
STRANGELY FAMILIAR--

SEEMS I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE,
JUST UNDER THE WORD "WANTED".

I'VE HEARD OF
YOUR REPUTATION TOO, SAM,

THAT KIND OF MAKES US LIKE
BIRDS OF A FEATHER.

WELL, IN ORDER FOR US
TO STICK TOGETHER,

YOU'LL HAVE TO CUT ME IN ON
THAT LAST JOB YOU PULLED--

THE ONE THAT NETTED
THE $9000.

WELL, YOU'RE WRONG,
I'M GOIN' STRAIGHT NOW.

THERE NEVER WAS A BLACKBIRD
THAT TURNED INTO A CANARY.

BUT IF WHAT YOU SAY
IS REALLY TRUE,

YOU WON'T MIND IF I
LOOK AROUND A LITTLE.

WHERE'S THE MONEY?

WHY DON'T YOU
MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS?

YOU DON'T DARE
PULL THAT TRIGGER--

BE A LITTLE HARD TO
EXPLAIN TO MISS MORGAN.

THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE WRONG--
SHE'S WISE TO YOUR REPUTATION,

AND SHE'D BELIEVE
ANYTHING I'D TELL HER.

[ gunshot ]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THIS IS ALL ABOUT,
AND I CARE LESS,

BUT THERE'S ONE THING
THAT I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR.

I'LL NEVER INTERFERE
IN A FIGHT IF IT'S FAIR,

AND I'LL TAKE MY HAT OFF
TO THE WINNER,

BUT WHEN A FELLA RESORTS
TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS,

WHY, I'D JUST AS SOON
SEE HIM STRUNG UP.

COME ON, TUCSON.

BUT IT WAS HIS GUN,
I WAS JUST UNLOADIN' IT.

TOO BAD YOU WASN'T
RELOADIN' IT.

I KNEW YOU WAS ON
THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FENCE.

HMM...BAD BRUISE.

I'LL FIX IT FOR YA.

TENNESSEE TOLD ME
ALL ABOUT THE TROUBLE

BETWEEN YOU AND TUCSON
YESTERDAY.

SOMETIMES TENNESSEE
TALKS TOO MUCH.

IT'S TOO BAD
A SWEET DISH LIKE JENNY

FOOLS ALONG WITH
THAT NO-GOOD TUCSON.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL HER

YOU FOUND THE SADDLEBAGS
IN HIS ROOM?

BECAUSE I'M NOT A SQUEALER.

BESIDES, HE'S ONLY
THE SMALLFRY.

CRACKIN' DOWN ON HIM

WOULD ONLY TIP THE BIG BOYS
WE'RE AFTER 'EM.

NO, WE BETTER LET THINGS
JUST DRIFT ALONG.

SOMETIMES THINGS CAN
DRIFT TOO FAR, EDDIE.

HELLO, TUCSON,
LONG TIME, NO SEE.

FIRST CHANCE
I'VE HAD TO GET IN.

I'VE GOT SOMETHING
IMPORTANT TO TELL YOU.

YEAH, WE'VE GOT SOMETHING
IMPORTANT TO TELL YOU.

LET'S GO UPSTAIRS
WHERE WE CAN TALK.

THE FELLA WE THOUGHT
WAS WHISTLIN' SAM
AIN'T HIM AT ALL.

NO? HOW'D YOU
FIND THAT OUT?

WELL, SAM JUST ARRIVED.

TUCSON, MEET SAM WADE,

GENERALLY KNOWN AS
WHISTLING SAM.

THAT'S RIGHT. I WAS JUST
TELLIN' THE BOSS HERE
WHAT A MISTAKE HE MADE.

THAT DEAN'S NOTHIN'
BUT A BRONC BUSTER.

FUNNY THING ABOUT HIM,

THE WAY HE'S ALWAYS
SNOOPING AROUND
AND MAKING TROUBLE.

SEEMS HE KIND OF
WORKS ON THE SIDE OF THE LAW,

INVESTIGATIONS HAVE ALREADY
SENT ME TO THE PEN TWICE.

THEN WE SHOULD
CLEAR OUT OF HERE.

IF WE RUN, THAT'S THE SAME
AS SIGNING A CONFESSION.

HE'S GOT NOTHING ON US.

YEAH, HE FOUND THAT
ARMY SADDLEBAG
IN MY BUNK.

I TOLD YOU TO
BURN THAT UP!

HE FOUND IT
BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE.

LET'S CLEAR OUT OF HERE

BEFORE HE THROWS US
ALL IN THE PEN.

I OWN THE FREIGHTLINE
AND THE SALOON--

I CAN'T AFFORD TO RUN.

THEN GIVE ME THAT SHARE
OF THE ARMY MONEY,

BECAUSE I'M READY
TO MAKE MYSELF SCARCE.

I'LL DO NOTHING
OF THE KIND.

YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO THIS JAM,
YOU GET YOURSELF OUT OF IT.

AND YOU DON'T GET YOUR CUT
TILL THE JOB'S FINISHED,

AND YOUR JOB
AIN'T FINISHED

TILL YOU RUN THAT LAW DOG
OUT OF THIS TOWN.

MARINO'S UPSTAIRS.

YOU MEN JUST HAD
THE CONSTABLE AS YOUR GUEST.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I SAW HIM OUT THERE
ON THE LANDING.

IT'S TOO LATE,
HE'S GONE.

THINK HE HEARD
WHAT WE SAID?

THERE'S NO DOUBT--
HE'S IN ON IT.

AND NO DOUBT
HE'S ON HIS WAY
TO ENLITRJGHTEN DEAN.

JUST THE JOB
FOR YOU, SAM.

[ whistling ]

[ gunshot ]

HELLO, BOY--
WHERE'S TENNESSEE?

IS HE IN TROUBLE?

I...

TAKE IT EASY, TENNESSEE,
I'LL GET YOU TO A DOCTOR.

IT'S NO USE...

I'M HIT PRETTY HARD.

WHO DID IT?

WHISTLIN' SAM...

BUT IT WAS RENO WHO...

♪ LAST NIGHT ♪

♪ AS I LAY ON THE PRAIRIE ♪

♪ AND LOOKED AT THE STARS
IN THE SKY ♪

♪ I WONDERED IF EVER A COWBOY ♪

♪ WOULD DRIFT TO THAT
SWEET BY AND BY ♪

♪ OOH ♪

♪ OOH ♪

♪ OOH ♪

OH, HEAVENLY FATHER,

MY BELOVED TENNESSEE

HAS GONE TO JOIN
THE GREAT ROUNDUP IN HEAVEN.

HE LEFT US HERE ON EARTH
HIS WILL,

NOT THE KIND OF WILL
THAT MOST MEN LEAVE OF
GOLD AND RICHES--

BUT A WILL FULL OF
TRUTH AND BEAUTY,

SOMETHING MONEY CANNOT BUY.

HE LEFT US THE ROLLING HILLS
OF THE WEST,

WHICH HE LOVED SO DEARLY,

THE GLORIOUS SUNRISE,

AND THE MAGNIFICENT SUNSET
OF EACH NEW DAY.

HE LEFT US THE MEMORY
OF A COURAGEOUS SPIRIT,

UNDAUNTED BY TRIALS
AND HARDSHIPS.

HE LEFT US HIS LOVE

TO ENJOY AND SHARE
WITH OUR FELLOW MAN.

HUMBLY WE ASK UNDERSTANDING

AND APPRECIATION
OF ALL THESE THINGS.

AMEN.

WHERE YA GOIN'?

I GOING AFTER THE HOMBRE
THAT GOT TENNESSEE.

I'M GOIN' WITH YOU--

THIS IS OWN SCORE
THAT I'M GONNA HELP SETTLE.

SEE YA OUTSIDE.

EDDIE, YOU HAVEN'T A CHANCE.

IF IT'S TRUE ABOUT
WHISTLING SAM AND HIS GANG

JOINING UP WITH MARINO,
YOU'D BE OUTNUMBERED 20 TO 1.

WHAT DO YOU CARE?

OH, I FEEL SO
COMPLETELY HELPLESS.

FIRST IT WAS DAD,
AND NOW TENNESSEE.

IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO YOU,
I'D BE COMPLETELY LOST.

YOU WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING?

YOU'RE BEING LIKE THIS
IS AWFULLY UNBECOMING TO YOU.

YOU LOOK BETTER
WITH YOUR CHIN UP.

SAM, I WANT TO
TALK TO YOU ALONE.

ALONE, BECAUSE WHAT I HAVE
TO SAY ISN'T FOR EVERYBODY.

THESE ARE MY PALS.

YOU CAN TALK
IN FRONT OF THEM.

OUT WITH IT--
I'M WISE TO YOU.

YOU'LL BE WISER
IF YOU COME OUTSIDE.

NOT SO FAST, DEAN.

TAKE HIS GUN, SAM.

WHAT KIND OF
A GAME IS THIS?

WE'RE ON TO YOU, DEAN,
AND WE'RE ARRESTING YOU.

YOU ARE GOING OUTSIDE,

BUT YOU'RE GOING WITHOUT SAM,
AND YOU'RE GOING FEET FIRST.

YOU'LL NEVER
GET AWAY WITH IT.

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.

THERE'S NO ONE TO STOP US.

AND AS FAR AS
THE LAW IS CONCERNED,

IT'S ON OUR SIDE NOW.

KENNSIGNTON HERE HAS JUST
BEEN MADE OUR NEW CONSTABLE.

AND ACCORDING TO
YOUR OWN TESTIMONY,

YOU WERE THE LAST PERSON
WITH TENNESSEE
BEFORE HE WAS KILLED,

AND ACCORDING TO
THE CORONER'S INQUEST,

YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO MURDERED HIM.

YOU'RE PRETTY SMART, MARINO,
YOU'VE TO ALL THE ANSWERS.

NOW, DO YOU MIND TELLING ME
HOW YOU FIGURE TO WORK IT?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

YOU'RE GONNA TRY
TO MAKE A GETAWAY,

AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
PUT A BULLET THROUGH YOU
TO STOP YOU.

THAT GOES FOR YOUR PAL, TOO.

NOW START WALKING
FOR THAT DOOR.

THIS IS ONE TIME
YOUR TIMING
WAS ALL WRONG.

Marino:
THE LIGHTS! THE LIGHTS!

QUICK, YOU MEN,
GET AFTER 'EM!

AND REMEMBER--
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO
KILL 'EM ON SIGHT!

HEY! WAIT FOR ME!

WHOA!

THAT'S THE LAST PLACE
THEY'D LOOK FOR US.

HOW COME?

LOOK.

THOSE ARE THE LONG MISSIN'
MORGAN HORSES.

HOW'D THEY GET THERE?

I PUT 'EM THERE.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR HEAD,

OR ARE YOU ASKING FOR
A BUNK IN THE HOOSEGOW?

DID YOU EVER HEAR OF
A REFORMED DRUNKARD?

ALL THE WAY OR NOTHING.

I CAN GET YOU LENIENCY
FOR THIS CONFESSION,

BUT I CAN'T PROMISE
TO GET YOU COMPLETELY
OUT OF IT.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME.

ANOTHER THING--

WOULD YOU MIND TELLIN' US
WHY THE SUDDEN CHANGE OF HEART?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS I GOT TIRED OF MARINO

HOLDING THAT WANTED SIGN
OVER MY HEAD.

OR MAYBE IT'S WHAT THEY DID
TO POOR OLD TENNESSEE.

OR IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
THAT PRAYER YOU SAID
AT HIS GRAVE.

MAYBE IT WAS JUST
AT THE RIGHT TIME.

WE'VE GOT TO GET
THOSE HORSES OUT OF HERE.

WE'LL NEVER GET THROUGH
THE PASS--

THAT'S WHERE MARINO'S MEN
WILL BE WAITING FOR US.

THEN WE'LL DRIVE 'EM
THROUGH TOWN.

WE'LL NEED SOME HELP
WHEN WE HIT THE FLATS.

I'LL GO BACK TO THE RANCH

AND GET THE BOYS
TO HELP US OUT.

YOU TWO STAY HERE
AND WATCH THAT PASS,

SEE THAT NOBODY
GETS THROUGH.

THE REST OF YOU,
COME WITH ME.

WE LOST 'EM--
THEY SHOW UP HERE YET?

WE AIN'T SEEN
HIDE NOR HAIR OF 'EM.

THEY'VE GOT
THE HERD!

THEY'VE OUT SMARTED US.

WE'LL NEVER STOP
THOSE HORSES NOW,

BUT WE CAN STOP THEM.

MIX IT UP, MEN!

[ gun empty ]

WELL, LOOKS LIKE
I TOOK CARE OF
THE WHOLE CABOODLE.

SOON AS WE GET
THESE HOMBRES
LOCKED UP,

WE GOT ONE MORE JOB TO DO
BEFORE WE'RE THROUGH.

WELL, LET'S D-D-D-DO IT
IN A HURRY.

COME ON, EDDIE.

THEY WON'T WAIT
ANY LONGER.

BE RIGHT WITH YOU.
