Alias Smith and Jones (1971–1973): Season 3, Episode 4 - The Clementine Ingredient - full transcript

After they come into a sizable amount of money, Hannibal Heyes (aka Smith) decides that if he & Kid Curry (aka Jones) are to settle in Mexico, they need their old friend Clementine (Sally Field) to join them. She has to pretend to be married to one of them,to appear respectable. However,she may compromise their stay there when she falls for a suave owner of a bank and also still uses the only photo of Hayes & Curry to get what she wants, or give it to the law.

Why are these people in jail?

Because I got legitimate warrants for their arrest.

On what grounds?

Grand theft.
Railroad and bank.

You robbed trains?

Only freight trains, Alcalde.

Of course, if Heyes's had an education, he could have stolen the whole railroad.

Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry.

The two most successful outlaws
in the history of the West.

And in all the trains and banks they robbed,
they never shot anyone.

This made our two
Kansas cousins very popular.



With everyone
but the railroads and the banks.

One thing we gotta get Heyes.
What's that?

Outta this business.

The governor can't come flat out
and give you amnesty now.

First you gotta prove you deserve it.

Lom, are you saying that all
we have to do is stay out of trouble

until the governor figures
that we deserved amnesty?

And in the meantime
we'll still be wanted?

That's true.

Till then only you me and the governor
will know about it.

It'll be our secret.

That's a good deal?

I sure wish the governor would let a
few more people in on our secret.

Kid, we can't go to Santa Marta.



What are you talking about?
We're halfway there.

I know, but we can't go.

Heyes, correct me if I'm wrong,

but didn't we just almost get ourselves killed twice just so we could get to Santa Marta?

Now, I got to correct you, Kid.

You can't get yourself killed twice.

One time is the limit even for us.

You know what I meant.

Why all of a sudden can't we do what we've been talking about

doing ever since we got the money to do it with.

We'd look too suspicious.

The two of us just deciding to settle down in Santa Marta, Mexico.

There's an ingredient missing.

Maybe you just tired.

Well, we make camp here tonight.

Good idea.

Now, what?

Kid, I think I know what that missing ingredient is.

Brains?

A gal, Clementine.

Come on!

I still think the missing ingredient is brains!

All right, it's enough!
My turn!

My, Clem.

I did die if I hadn't heard from you two pretty soon.

You'll die yet, if we don't get you inside.

Oh, it's so wonderful to see you!

You know, it's good you didn't show up about a month ago.

Why is that?

Well, for about three months men we're showing up every few days

and hiding out there watching the house.

How long has it been since you've seen them?

You know they stopped coming about a moth ago.

Come on, sit down.
Let me make you some coffee.

Are you hungry?

Clem, you're looking at a 2-man famine.

I can fix you right up.

Tell me, what have you two been doing.

Getting rich.

We did a job for Big Mac McCready

and made enough money to go down to Mexico and live for a whole year.

Hey, don't look so brokenhearted, we're gonna take you with us.

Wait a minute, there's a catch.

A what?
A catch.

You have to marry one of us.

Marry one of you?

Well now, I love you both why should I marry either of you?

Well now, Clem, ask yourself this question:

how would it look if the 3 of us settled down in Mexico and 2 of us weren't married?

Whom will we care?

We care.

Why, can't we just go to St. Louis or

New Orleans?

Because we're not that rich.

Besides, Clementine,

we don't know how long we're gonna have to stay out of sight.

Governor Warren claims that the political situation just isn't right for amnesty.

Something about President Cleveland looking for an excuse to get rid of him.

And we'd make just the right excuse.

Yeah, but Mexico, it's so hot and dusty...

Clem,

we're going to Santa Marta which is not hot not dusty.

It's on the Sea of Cortez.
It's cool, it's green,

and there's a villa there we can rent for 50 - 60 US dollars a month.

A villa?

Whatever that is, it sounds wonderful!

Now wait just a minute.

You two are going through all of this just so you can get your hands on that photograph.

Now, Clam, we wouldn't go through all this just to get that photograph.

Just to get it.

The only photograph in existence of you two, you'd do anything to get it.

Well, that's true, but we wouldn't marry you for it.

Clem,

you got to believe us that picture has nothing to do with this.

We want to just go to Mexico, take you with us

and have the appearance of looking respectable, and that's the honest truth.

All right, who do I pretend to be married to?

I don't know we haven't decided it yet.

You know, we haven't any sleep for 24 hours.

Let's figure that out in the morning.

Good night, Clem.

Chester, you stay with me.

You two cover that side of the house.

Listen, fellas,

this decision had better be made soon or I'm going to make it myself

and one of you 's not gonna like that at all.

We'll make it right.

Now, the only fair way.

One hand to showdown and that's it.

Who deals?

You.

All righty.

Wait a minute.

Clem, you cut.
After all we're all in this together.

Little showdown, huh?

Pair of fours.

Pair of fours stand nothing.

Pair of tens.

Well,

Mrs. Joshua Smith sounds nice.

I won!
Your Missus Thaddeus Jones.

You mean the loser gets me?

Well, Clem you gotta have admit,

in public the one who isn't married is...

well, you know, a little more free.

Hey,

Heyes,

got you surrounded.

Come on out with your hands up high,
and that little girl in there won't get hurt.

So, they stopped coming a month ago, huh?

Yes, I swear, there hasn't been anyone around here for over a month.

Besides, I didn't exactly invite you here.

We're not gonna wait too long.

If we gotta burn you out, we'll do it!

They can't burn this house, it's mine!

You could sue them later.

I'll be pay ya out of the reward money.

Don't break those, they are my best dishes.

Hi, who's in charge out there?

Whoever's in charge out there, we want to talk to you.

Ain't nothing we got to talk about.

You come on out.
Now!

One more minute, we all start firing.

You wanna gun fight, you're gonna get one!

But we rather talk.
How about it?

Talk about what?

We don't want any killing.
We want to talk a deal.

All right.
Go on, talk!

I said talk, not yell.

You think I'm coming in there?

Either that or we wait till dark and come out, shooting!

We'll take at least here for you with us.

We got 20 men out here.

Well, you're gonna have 10 left, if you don't talk to us.

You come on out now

or I'll burn you out before dark.

Who's gonna get close enough to set the fire?

You give us five minutes to settle a couple of things,

and there won't be any shooting and nobody will get hurt.

Sorry, ain't coming in there, if that's what you're asking.

You come in here and talk a deal and we'll send Miss Hale out there as a hostage.

Oh, no, you won't!

Clementine, would we let anything happen to you?

Yes.

Use your head, Clem,

you'll be a lot safer out there than in here, no matter what happens.

Maybe we ought to hear 'em out.

We can get the job done without them to shooting at us, I'd sure like it.

You want to go in there?

Why not, if then 's the girl out here?

Makes sense to me.

That's Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry in there.

If there's gonna be some shooting,

some of us are gonna end up dead.

You send the girl on out first,

and I'll think about it.

Clementine,

you go on out there.

Heyes, I'm afraid to go out there.

The Kid's right, you're gonna be a lot safer out there than in here.

You really have something to say, something that might help?

Yes.
And with just a little luck

all three of us are gonna get out of this without a mark on us.

Heyes, I trust you.

But I'll never know why.

Before you go, I need a pencil and paper.

You remember,

what I got in my mind depends on you being out there okay?

Now, go on.

Go ahead, Clem.

You're staying here, we can't guarantee you the thing.

But remember, stop out there halfway, all right?

Yeah.

What do you have in mind?

All right, you in charge,

come on out to where she is.

What kind of deal you want to talk?

Look, we'll talk to you now in private or we'll come out shooting tonight.

You're smart, you'll stop stalling and save a lot of lives.

All right, hold it right there.

Go ahead, Clem.

Wait a minute.

What do they want to talk about?

I don't know, but they're very fond of me, so it's safe for you to go in.

They wouldn't let anything happen to me.

All right, she's safe now.
Come on in here.

Come on out here.
We'll talk out here.

Well, you think we're stupid?

We're wanted dead or alive. We come out there all you got to do is start shooting.

As long as Clementine's out there, you're gonna be safe in here.

Well, you just remember one thing,

my buddy said if anything happens to me,

your girlfriend's first is gonna get shot.

You hear that?

Yeah, I hear it.

Come on, let's get this confab over with.

Have a seat, Mister...

Ted Thompson of Denver. And I'll stand, this shouldn't take too long.

All right, who you got out there with you?

You lawmen?

Never mind that.
What's your deal?

Well, depends on who you are you are.

You're Sheriff, US Marshal, what?

No, it ain't any of those.

20 of us got together and formed the club to watch this place every now and then.

We're gonna split the reward.

1,000 each for anyone who was lucky enough to catch you.

And we did.

No lawman in that Club?

I didn't come in here to answer questions.

Now, what's your deal?

We got to know first, if there's any lawman out there.

No there ain't.

They just plain citizens of the state of Colorado

who ain't afraid of Kid Curry, Hannibal Heyes and their whole gang.

And haven't got any more imagination than a pack of mules.

Let's get down to cases.
What do you want to talk about?

Well, maybe...

maybe nothing, if $1,000 sounds like a lot of money to you.

Meaning what?

Coffee?
No.

Well, you remember about 3 months ago the bank had read gap was robbed.

It was in all the papers.

In fact, they call it the biggest bank robbery in history.

Now, west of the Mississippi, Kid.

Yeah.
You remember?

Yeah, I recall readin'.

You remember how much money we got away with?

Paper said you came near half a million dollars,

but they also said later it wasn't you two that've done it.

Well, you believe everything you read?

Well, not hardly.

But if you two had a half a million dollars,

you wouldn't be hanging around in Colorado, now would you?

Let's see, if you get an answer for that one.

Easy.

We didn't want to leave without, Miss Hale.

We tried coming by here a couple of months ago, but the place was staked out.

Your club.

That's right.

I'm sure that you'll agree, that we haven't had time to spend the money yet.

All right, let's get down to cases.

You two got a lot of money, you won't have for long.

Now, what do we talk about?

The aforementioned money.

We're gonna give it all to you.

Huh?

We're gonna give that money,

all of it, to you.

Oh, I see, you're trying to bribe me off!

Yes, Ted we are.

It isn't really a bribe, Mr. Thompson,

since you're not a lawman.

And you're not getting paid a salary for bringing in the Kid and me.

And you're not getting paid a salary for coming up here

and getting yourself shot at or killed.

And you're not even obligated to arrest us.

Now, here's my half of the map,

it shows where the money is.

The Kid has the other half.

Don't trust each other, huh?

Oh, when it comes to a half a million dollars, I don't even trust my own mother.

Well, what do you want out of me?

A way to get out of the spot we're in.

Oh, I couldn't do that.

There 5 other boys out there.

You told us 20!

You lied.

I don't know, Heyes, you think we can trust this man?

Yeah, I think we can.

Now, if we show you a way to get us out of here

without anybody knowing that you did it,

would you take the deal?

Show me the other half of the map.

You don't see both halves until we got a deal.

All right, I'll listen to you.

But how could I get you out without those boys stringing me up for doing it?

Which one them two fellas you sweet on, honey?

I'm not sweet on either one of them, if I understand your meaning.

Oh, you understand my meaning, all right. Which one 'em you're in love with?

Both of them.
Both of them? That ain't even decent!

Well, I've known 'em since I was 16. They're like family to me.

Like two big brothers who love me. I love them just the same.

Sure, lady, brothers...

Hey, something's happening.

Come all over here. I need your advice.

What's going on?

Come on, now we're safe enough as long as we got the girl.

You've got to help me decide something.

What's going on?

Well, they want to make a deal, all right, but I can't decide what to do.

What kind of a deal?

You'll have to hear it from them.

I'd rather hear it from you.

Well, it's too dang complicated.

If I could explain it, I wouldn't be asking for advice.

Well, look, you boys wanted to talk to those fellas before, so let's talk.

I think they do have something worth listening to.

Now, let's talk it out then.

If anything happens to us, see to the woman.

Now, we can't talk with guns pointed at us, boys.

Come on, threw 'em away.

Don't do anything stupid, boys.

Now, I'll see you putting your gun away.

Just because I'm not gonna.

Tie them up.

Have a seat, fellas.

Hey, hold on here!

Shut up and sit down, put your arms behind your backs.

You're gonna get that girl killed!

Nobody's gonna get killed.
Nobody's gonna even get a scratch.

Thompson you're a double-crossing snake.

If I ever get out of this somebody's gonna be killed - and this gotta be you!

Boys, if someone shoves the barrel of a gun down your throat

and tell you they're gonna kill you if you don't do like you're supposed to, you do it.

They had me covered out there all the time I was there.

They took all the bullets out of my gun, now what was I supposed to do?

I've been a dead man if I didn't do what they said.

And we got the girl out there.

Well, she's still out there and I'll see you two took on anything.

They said, they didn't care what happened to her.

Boys,

Thompson did the best he could to say no.

but when he realized we meant business, he gave in just like either one of you what if.

I let you shoot me first.
Me too.

No, you wouldn't.

Somehow, it's always easier to talk brave, than be brave.

For instance, either one of you could have just

yelled your heads off a few minutes ago, but you didn't, did you?

All right, take that bottle and go finish your job.

And remember,

you're gonna be watched all the way.

You see? You think you'd say no to Kid Curry and Hannibal Heyes?

Hey, come on, it's all settled.
We got our prisoners.

Tad, Chester in there 's trussin' 'em up now.

Come on, before the whiskey's all gone.

All they, wanted was a guarantee that nothing happened to the girl.

Let's go in and celebrate.

All right, get your hands up.
All of you.

Hello, Alcalde.

I received your telegram, Mr. Smith.

It's a pleasure to welcome you back to Santa Marta.

Thank you, Alcalde.
Do you remember, Mr. Jones?

Of course,

and I welcome this opportunity to make amends for the unforgivable manner

in which you were treated last time you were here.

Done and forgotten.

You are very generous, Mr. Jones.

And as your telegram said there is now a Mrs. Jones.

It is an honor and a pleasure to welcome you to Santa Marta, Señora Jones.

Thank you.

It's a pleasure to be here, an honor and a pleasure.

The villa...

is it ours?

Oh, yes.

But 60 American dollars in month is the best I could do,

I'm sorry.

Sorry?
That's fine.

Good.

And of course, an excellent cook comes with it.

But tonight you are my guests for dinner.

On that I insist.

Oh, well, thank you, I'll...

will be happy to.

Is 7:00 too early?

Not at all.

Now, you must allow me to drive you to the villa my coaching.

Oh, I can't believe it.

I can't believe it!

And only $60 a month?
It's like a palace!

Oh, I am really going to love it here.

Not if I catch you doing

what you've been doing ever since you got to Santa Marta, you're not!

What are you talking about?
I'm talking about you and the Alcalde.

The way you've been acting with him at the hotel and all the way out here.

Yes, but...

he's so handsome and

charming and gallant.

You say he isn't married?

No, but you are!

And on a honeymoon, too.

That's not funny, Heyes.

You were looking at him the way you'd look at a man if you weren't married!

Well, I'm not!

Now, what do you mean by that?
You're supposed to be married

and we can't hide out here if you don't act like it.

Kid, I'm sorry.
I won't let it happen again.

Now, how about showing me to my room?

Just pick one.

Kid,

now I said I was sorry.

It's not like we were really married.

Well, I just wasn't prepared for someone...

now, for him.

You folks go ahead, I'll get your bags.

Hey, you, you speak English?

A little.

What happened to the mountain that used to be out there?

Maybe white man stole it,
like he stole everything else.

Oh, by the way, Mr. Smith,

how are things at the bank and railroad business?

Bank and railroad business?

Oh, yes, I'm retired, remember?

Oh, yes, I remember you told me that at our first meeting.

But I find it so difficult to comprehend.

You are so young to be retired.

Yes, well...

well, to be honest with you, Mr. Jones and I are really speculators.

Cattle, railroads, banks...

that's why we're here, you see.

Things aren't really going too well for speculators these days up in the States, so

we decided to...

just take a year off.

Gotta enjoy this beautiful town of yours, Alcalde.

We absolutely fell in love with it, when we were here last.

And I can certainly see why now.

I mean the town.

It's so handsome.

I mean beautiful.

Thank you.

...and it isn't just because it's not safe, I resent it!

Even if we aren't married, I resent it.

He knows how you feel. He doesn't have to see it, he can feel it.

And I don't like the way it makes me feel.

Kid, I'm sorry,
I'm really sorry.

I just keep forgetting who I'm supposed to be.

How do you think that makes me look?

You staring at him like that and saying things like that.

Makes me feel like a...

what do you call 'em, Heyes?

Husband's.

Kid, I'm sorry. Now, I won't let it happen again, I promise.

You said that the last time.

Yeah, I know it's...

just he's so charming.

Oh...

Yeah, that's right.

And I might have had a young woman with 'em, about so high,

brown hair, pretty, if you like him skinny.

Yes, yes, I remember them three, and they did get off the train here,

but they got right on another one, headed west.

What kind of ticket did they buy?
I mean how far west?

I don't recall.

Well, if...

if I gave you a little money,

do you think you could recall then?

No, question about it.

All right, all right, Señor, it's all right now.

Where were you going?

I was just going into town and did some shopping.

Well, I know this horse.

It's not easy to handle.

You better use a gentler one next time.

I better drive you back to the villa now.

Well, I don't want to inconvenience you in any way.

Oh, no, no, no, it's no inconvenience.
I was going in that direction.

No doubt about it, the people you're looking for they were in Yuma, but they're gone.

California?

No, there's a special - private coach runs twice a week to Santa Marta

that's a rich man resort down the coast of Mexico.

They left here on that coach.

Were I gonna buy me a ticket on that coach?

Try it here.

I tell you it's not here.

Just keep looking.

There's no place we haven't looked
Twice!

You know, I'm beginning to think she didn't bring it with her.

She had to.

She wouldn't leave that photograph in Denver.

I know Clementine.

She'd figure, she just might be able to blackmail us with it again.

You suppose she's got it on her? You know, carries it around with her all the time?

I'll give you an opinion on that when we finished searching.

Now, why don't you start looking?
She's gonna be back in an hour.

She's back now, fellas!

Of all the lowdown, cheating, dishonest,

thieving people I have ever met in my entire...

Clem, we were looking for that photograph.

And since there two of us in it and only one of you, it's more ours than yours,

so how could you call us thievin'?

Well, then it leaves lowdown

and cheating

and dishonest.

Oh, thieving too, because that picture is mine.

You know, how much it means to me.

That's why we're looking for it, Clem, because we know how much it means to you.

Is that why we came all the way down here?

So, the first time I leave the villa, you can filch my picture?

I suppose if you'd found it, you two wouldn't even been here by now.

Clem,

Clem, you know we love you.

And all three of us are gonna stay right here in Santa Marta for at least a year.

I don't know about that.

You've broken my heart.

I never thought you two would do something like this to me.

Oh, Clem, we promise not to ever think about that photograph again.

Well, I wouldn't go that far.

Well, you gonna admit, it's kind of scary

having a picture of the two of us floating around.

I've ever gotten to the laws hands, we have no place to hide

Well, if you two ever do anything like this again

I'm going to see that it gets into the laws hands.

By the way Clem, where is it?

Now, you said you weren't even going to think of it again.

It happens to be...

right where it belongs.

In the safe deposit box in Denver.

May I see the mayor, please?

The Alcalde?
Just a moment, Señora.

Come in!

Señor Alcalde,

an American woman wants to see you.

Señora Jones,

would you please come in?

I am are you service, madam.

Tell me, do you have a safe in here?

A safe?

Yes.
Yes, of course.

There's something I would like for you to keep for me in the safe.

Now, you mustn't give that to anyone but me.

Or to your husband, of course.

Oh, no.

In fact, especially not to my husband.

Well, if it is something of great value perhaps I don't...

No, no, no, it's just a memento.

Only has value to me.

Well, I...

suppose I should be going.

Yeah, I suppose that is so.

I suppose, I don't have to tell you

I've never met anyone like you in my whole life?

Nor have I ever met anyone like you before.

I'm glad.

I suppose, I should be going.

Yeah.

I am deeply ashamed.

What I have done is unforgivable.

Oh, no, it was...

I have not only taken liberties with a married woman,

but with the wife of a man I like.

And worse yet,

a man who likes me and respects me.

I'm so ashamed.

Can you please forgive me, Señora?

No, no, it was entirely my fault.

I should be asking you for forgiveness.

Your fault or not. It was I who made the advance not you!

You're innocent of any wrongdoing.

No, no, I wanted you to do just what you did.

May I call you Ramon?

Yes, of course.

Ramon,

I have acted in a none wifely way from the very beginning.

Yes, that's exactly the word.

I have acted

unwifely towards you from the moment we met.

So, you see,

what happened just now

it was entirely my fault.

So, you mustn't feel ashamed or concerned about it...

Please, Señora, please you are too harsh upon yourself.

You have been warm

and womanly

and honest.

But never unwifely.

Thank you.
I don't deserve the word honest.

I don't deserve that description in any way.

Two Gringos...

like so.

Like this?

And...

a female American

like so.

How funny! Look!

The two Americans and the young lady are living in the hacienda

where Miss Carruthers lived.

Look! On this route!

Uh-huh, Hacienda.
In that way?

Yes, it's called the Hacienda of Miss Carruthers.

How far?
Yes, over there!

It's a very big house, very out standing!

All right, nineteen.

We have to leave.

Leave what?
Where?

Santa Marta.
Why?

Because I've done...
I've just ruined everything for you.

What's happened?

I let the Alcalde kiss me.

You what!?

Where?

In his office.

What were you doing in his office?

I let him kiss me, and I liked it, and I kissed him back.

And now he knows that there's something wrong,

that we're not who we claim to be so we just have to leave!

Why? The world's full of flirtatious wives!
On their honeymoons!?

Now, we can't just up and leave here.
We got to find some way to fix things.

How?
Do I challenge him to a duel?

We'll figure something.
We got to.

Now, this is the perfect place for us to just sit tight and wait out our amnesty.

Well, not for me!

Ramon, the Alcalde is the first man I ever met who I find more attractive than you two.

And I just can't stay here feeling the way I do about him.

Well, I guess, I could always give you a divorce.

All my dreams have just come true.

Kid Curry and Hannibal Heyes without a gun on 'em.

Get moving.

I'm taking all three down to the town jail.

Why are these people in jail?

Because I've got adjourned warrants for their arrest.

What warrants?

Grand theft,
railroads and banks.

You rob trains?

Only freight trains, Alcalde.

Of course, if Heyes had an education, he could have stole the whole railroad.

Who are you?

Ted Thompson, US citizen, Señors,

deputized to find these two outlaws and bring them back.

dead or alive.

Who are they?

You ever hear of Kid Curry and Hannibal Heyes?

Read what it says there.

You'll know I got the right men right down to their scars and birthmarks.

Now, I've already sent by telegraph to get some extradition papers.

They're gonna be here real soon.

Well, your warrants don't include, Mrs. Jones, do they?

Mrs. Jones?

There ain't no, Mrs. Jones.

She's a single lady

name of Clementine Hale.

She's also wanted for aiding and abetting.

So, you're not married to Señor Jones, huh?

No.

My two friends, my very good and dear friends,

well they thought it would be safer for them here one of them was married.

So I agreed to pretend to be, Mrs. Jones.

But only in public! Now, I have a room of my own at the villa.

Open the door.

Hey, what the devil you're doing?

You have no warrant for this young lady, do you?

Well,
no.

But she's got charges to face in Colorado.

She helped those two fellows escape from me and six of my friends.

Mr. Thompson,

I will honor the warrants on these two gentlemen

and the extradition papers,

since my country has an extradition treaty with the United States.

But since you have no warrant for Miss Hale,

she will not be held.

Here.

Please.

And I knew that day that you were not in love with your husband,

but I couldn't guess what the answer was.

I could see that you liked him,

but you certainly were not in love with him.

That was a very troubling mystery to me.

Well,

I apologize for that.

My only excuse is that,

well, I love them both very much.

I have no family.

No, they're my family.

I just don't know what I'd do without them.

So, if they go to prison, I just don't know what's gonna happen to me.

I can see how deeply concerned you are for them.

They haven't robbed a bank or a train in over a year.

And in all that time they haven't done anything dishonest or illegal.

Prisons are supposed to reform people, aren't they?

Mm-hmm.

Well, Heyes and Curry are already reformed,

and so it would be wrong to send them to prison, and 20 years.

You want me to let them go, don't you?

Yes.

This is a very deep secret,

but even Francis Warren, the governor of Wyoming,

has promised them amnesty if they change their ways.

They aren't criminals anymore, and they never ever will be again.

Clementine,

all the obligations of government here in Santa Marta

are in my hands.

I owe these community absolute fidelity.

I have taken a solemn oath.

To break it would be a very great sin.

I know.

I'm deeply sorry.

Come in!

An American, boss!

Oh, Mr. Thompson,

what can I do for you today?

Well, you can let me in there.

Why?

I want to watch my prisoners.

That's my right, ain't it?

Yeah, I suppose it is.

Open the door.

Hey, hey, you!

They're gone!

Oh, yeah, does appear that way, huh?

You let them escape!

Mr. Thompson,

you are a guest in my country.

I am going to assume that you did not say what you may have just said.

Howdy.

Jump in, I was told there'd be a couple of passengers around here somewhere.

Thank you.

Heyes, prepare yourself for a shock.

Thanks for warning me, Kid.

What the devil is going on?

He means, what the devil are you doing here?

I'm not exactly sure.

What's that mean?

Last night,

no, actually, was this morning about 2:00 a.m.

the Alcalde came out to the villa.

In the middle of the night with you out there alone?

What for?

He said, he decided to violate his solemn oath and let both of you go.

but a penance had to be paid.

By him or you?

By him, of course.

He said he decided that the price he had to pay was...

well, that he could never allow himself to...

he never exactly said he had to give me up but that's what it amounted to.

I want to know what both of you are thinking.

Now, was Ramon just getting rid of me in a lovely gallant way

or is he really that highly principled?

Clem, we've known the Alcalde a long time.

And he's one of the most highly principled man we've ever met.

You can count on that till your dying day.

Why, he's so principled, he made us donate $2,000 apiece

for a new school before he got around to telling us he was letting us go.

He charged you $4,000?

Clem, that's no way to put it.

Santa Marta lost out on being the place

where Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry were captured.

But it's gonna have a brand-new $4,000 school.

Well, at least I've still got you two.

And in any case you still have a picture of us, right Clem?

Now, wait...

You have it with you, Clem?

You promised, you were never going to bring that up again.

Well now, promised that in Mexico, when we get to Yuma it's off.

Oh,

then when we get to Yuma, you go your way and I'll go mine.

Clem, we love you.

So, we'll forget about the photograph.

Just don't ever lose it.

Clem, it's silly for you to wait two more days for another train.

Well, then you two wait and I'll take this one.

I'm perfectly prepared for you to be gentlemen about this.

That is also silly.

Well, if I thought I could trust you, then it would be silly.

But where that photograph is concerned, I can't trust you, so it isn't silly.

Clem, I promise if you take this train, I'll forget there ever was a picture.

Taboo subject.

You keep making that promise, but you keep breaking it.

I'll swear to it this time!

How about you?
I don't hear you say anything.

I'll swear, too, with a small exception, Clementine.

Once that picture's back in the Denver Bank:

no more truth

and anything goes!

Oh well, I'll agree to that.

But you do have the picture with you don't you, Clem?

Now, you've broken your word and we aren't even on the train yet.

Well, it'll never happen again, just a small mistake.

I swear, it'll never happen again.

Taboo and safe till it's back in the bank.

Kid, I've been thinking.

That's what I was afraid of.

Want to know what I've been thinking about?

Not particularly.

I've been thinking, we should pull one more bank job.

One more bank job!?

I knew it, you've been leaving your head off in the sun again!

Quiet down now, Kid, and listen.

We won't blow any safes.
We won't even steal any money.

All we'll do is, break into the Denver National Bank,

find Clem's safe-deposit box and take the picture.

Oh, well, that is a good idea.

In fact, it's great.

And when you're finished, I want you to let me know how it all came out.

I'll be in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

I get the feeling, you don't care too much for my idea.

Oh, I like it, Heyes, except for one thing.

I still think the missing ingredient is brains.

Yours!
