• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Huh, Scali? It's all right.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: It's all right. Damn, forget the rifle. Who is it?
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: It's just government troops. Looks like a patrol. Can we
• 6:32
  Speaker 10: help you, Lieutenant?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Hope so. Where's the driver, this day? Where is he?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: You just pulled in from the west? Yeah, power group.

  Speaker 2: See four men on the road? Nope, nobody. Who are
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: you looking for, Lieutenant? A fellow named Ray Zimmerman. Zimmerman?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I thought they had him in prison over at Huntsville. Well,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: he broke out the day before he was due to
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: be hanged. He and three others. They held up Johnny
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Madden's stage outside of Armistead. Johnny Madden? But, boy, he
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: drove through here just yesterday. That's right. And today he's dead.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Johnny Madden. The oldest driver on the line next to me.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: But why? Why did they do it? Johnny Stage wasn't
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: carrying a gold shipment. They must have thought it was. Anyway,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: my patrol is here to keep you westward as far
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: as Mama's here. That suits me. All right, everybody, climb in. Oh, uh,

• 7:29
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Company rule, ma'am. What rule?
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: I paid my fare. It took all the money I
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: could scrape up. Now I'm going through to St. Louis.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: On the next stage, maybe, ma'am. You see, the company
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: rule says that when there's danger of Indians or road agents,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the states can't carry any passengers under the age of 12.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Of course, if you want to leave your baby here
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: with us... Me, Tally?
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess not. We're going to get on that stage.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Both of us. Hey, Sam, get the lady's bags off
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the stage. All right. No, don't you dare. Miss Hope,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: there's no use of you arguing.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Get out of my way.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Miss Hope, please. Get your hands off me. Let me go.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: All right, Scott, get that stage going and get out
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: of here. You win. No, no, no.
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: I hope you're proud of what you've done, Mr.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: Owens.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I'm awful sorry, ma'am, but you see, rules are rules.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I think these are all your bags, Mrs. Holt.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: Miss Holt, if you please.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Huh? How's that? Never mind, Sam. You look after the mules,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and I'll carry your things inside. Miss Holt. Oh, uh, Sam.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: This is you. How about putting your eyes back in
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: your head?
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Owens? Yes, ma'am?
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Well, I hardly imagined the son of the superintendent of
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: the division would be washing dishes.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Well, Sam and I take turns. It's all part of
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: my education. Education? Yes. See, six months working the relay station,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: six months riding boot on a stage, and a year
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: in the division office, and I'm ready for any job
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I got.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: And you're six months here?
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: That's up next week. Look, is there something you wanted?
• 9:25
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: Is there someplace around here I can take a bath?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a basin and a pitcher of water in
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: your room.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: I said a bath.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: All right, come on. See that thing across the yard
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: that Sam's pumping water into?
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: The horse drop?
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now, you just see that you don't use any
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: soap in it.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Is that where you take a bath?
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: No, there's a hot spring in the canyon back at
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: the station.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: Ah, that's more like it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: But you're going to have to watch out. for snakes.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, then maybe I'd better borrow your revolver.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: What? All right.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: And maybe your gun belt, too.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: That's not a bad idea. You can't hit them. At
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: least you can scare them to death.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I can hit them. Don't you worry about that. Hey, John.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I'm coming, Sam. I'm coming. You wanted to let her
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: take your gun? Oh, she says she knows how to
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: use it. Uh-huh. Maybe too well. Sam, I don't figure
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: her for a lady road agent. What do you figure
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: her for? I don't know. She sure knows what she wants,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: you know. Took over my bed, my bedroom, hooked my
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: gear up, made it a nursery for her and the baby. Hey.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Hmm?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: What's that? What's what? I thought I heard something. There,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: that's it. Yeah, somebody's coming up the gutter. I see them.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: They're just rounding them boulders. Tom, there's that spear, rifle,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: and the stable. Get it. Stay out of sight and
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: cover me. You be careful, Tom. Hello. Morning. You the

• 11:16
  Speaker 2: he's around here. Just the two of you there, huh?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: That's right. I guess you wonder who I am. Maybe
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: this badge will help. Oh, Deputy Sheriff? Yeah, Deputy Sheriff
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Miles from Huntsville. Well, I'm glad to know you. Owens
• 11:31

  Speaker 2: with a meal? Sure can. Hey, Sam! Sam, it's all right.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: It's the Sheriff. You can come out now. All right.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: You're not taking any chances, I see. Well, that's the
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: way to stay alive in this country. Especially with Rafe
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Zimmerman on the loose. Yeah, especially with Zimmerman. Howdy, Sheriff.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Stay with your horse? As soon as I'm off him,

  Speaker 2: you can't. All right, boys, reach for it. Tom, he
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: ain't no sheriff. Get your hands up, I said. Higher.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: That's it. What's that for?
• 12:09
  Speaker 12: Yeah, who are you signaling? Some friends of mine down

• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Use it to cover these fellas. Yes. Have us you
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: search the other room. See if there's anybody else around.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: You bet. Yancey, you put our horses in the corral.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Hide the saddles. Sure. Good idea, boss. And now, Mr.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Owens and Mr. What's-your-name. Same card.
• 12:50
  Speaker 12: All right, I now want some answers from you two,
• 12:52
  Speaker 12: and I want them right. What time's the next stage
• 12:55
  Speaker 12: due here? I said when. Is it one from the east?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Tonight? What time? What time, Dan? The stage from the west.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow afternoon. Uh-huh. How much gold does it carry? How much? None.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: That shipment went through today. Stop it. He'll get more
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: than that the next time he lies to me. The
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: California stage comes through tomorrow morning.
• 13:26
  Speaker 12: Carrying 100,000 on gold bars, consigned by Crocker Mine and
• 13:29
  Speaker 12: Company in Sacramento to the government men of New York.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: And why, I ask God? Because I'm testing it. And
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: letting you know I've got everything figured. Hey, Zim, come look. Oh,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: what is it? Take a look. Ain't I fetching in
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: this here bonnet? Grats, keep them covered. Yes, sir. Well, now,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: tell me, how could I? That's a fair rifle, that,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: in the stable, isn't it? Yeah, I've been thinking about that. Hey, you,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: what you whispering about? Well, that's nothing at all. I'm
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: going to make a break for it. No, not now. Later.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Hold on.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Hold on. Where is she? Where's who? The woman, your wife.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I ain't got no wife. All right, then she's all right.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Where is she?
• 14:09
  Speaker 12: Where's your wife?
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. I'm not married. Don't lie to me. Well,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: that's what you wanted me to do, wanted him. Now,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: how about this other one? No, we need him. Gratz,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: take him to the bedroom. Lock him up. Yeah, boy.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: You go first. Mr. Owens. All right. Feathers, right after
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: you fired, did you hear a woman scream? Hey, come
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: to think of it, I did.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Sam? A baby? Yeah, here they come. Yancey's bringing them in. Say,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: look at what I found, boss.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: I found this wife out in Sable, and then I
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: see this lady and this baby cutting across your arms.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: You murdered her. I saw you kill Sam.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Good. Then you know what you're up against. All right, Sam,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: let's take her back and lock her up with her husband.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: My husband?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Why, sure.
• 15:27
  Speaker 11: Boy, don't you like him since you've seen me?
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Get your hands off me.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, touchy, ain't you? I like him with sponge. Have it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Have it. I ain't doing nothing, Jim. All right. Oh,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: get him, then. I was hoping you'd get away if
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: you'd hear those shots back in the canyon.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: How long do you think it takes for a bath?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, wait a minute. What happened to my gun and
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the cartridge still?
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: I dropped them.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: You dropped them? Yes, I.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: Well, I was so startled when I heard those shots.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: It's a wonder I didn't drop Callie, too.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Where's the gun now?
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: Well, I think just the other side of that pile
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: of firewood along the corral.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: A lot of good it's going to do it out there. Us?
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: I'm not in this thing with you.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Miss Holt, or Mrs. Holt, or whatever your name is.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: It's Miss.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: Vinnie Hope. And while we're on the subject, Mr. Owen,
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: what right have you to tell those men you're my husband?
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: I didn't tell them. That's Zimmerman's idea. That just might
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: be the thing that'll save your skin.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: You're sure it's not your own skin you're worried about?
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Well, sure I am.
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: Killing me doesn't seem to be part of their plan,
• 16:48
  Speaker 11: at least not yet. See, they need me alive until
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: that stage comes through with that big gold ship, and
• 16:52
  Speaker 11: I'm going to be their decoy.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: What's that got to do with him thinking I'm your wife? No,
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: I'm staying out of your mess. I'm going to tell
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: him the truth.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Now, look.
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: Can't you understand, Miss Holt, that they'll be nice to
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: you as long as they think you're important to me?
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Until they don't need you any longer. But after they
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: get the gold shipment....
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I'm just hoping we'll figure out something before then.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: And if we don't, then what happens?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: I think I'd like to live. Even if it's just
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: for another 24 hours.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: It's late afternoon in the lonely station at Rawhide Pass,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: where Vinnie and Tom are held prisoners. In the main
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: room of the station, Zimmerman, Tevis, Yancey, and Dratt wait
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: impatiently for the arrival of the stagecoach from the east.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Have it. Yeah? Where'd you find the whiskey? Right in
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: the cupboard. Put it back. Oh, now, dear. Right now. Oh.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: There's not going to be any drinking. That goes for you, too, Gretz. Yeah, Yancey.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Did you hear that, Yancey? Well, you know I ain't
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: no drinking man, Bob. All I ever done wrong in
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: my whole life was to steal that horse. If it
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: wasn't for that, you and me would have never met.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I regret it even more than you, mister. Just because
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you three busted out of jail along with me, that
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean I picked you for this job. You just
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: came along. And that's my bad luck. Now, there's no
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: call to talk to honor, is there? Everything's going just right.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Is it? Look out there in the yard. There's Todd's
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: body laying there for the whole world to see. But
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: have any of you got brains enough to go bury him?
• 18:46
  Speaker 13: No.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: I've got to tell you everything. I'll bury him, museum.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I'll put up a nice little cross over there. Are
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: you crazy? All we need for the stagecoach to come
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: along and see a cross. Gratz. You go bury him.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: You're so dumb, you couldn't get any longer, it is. Yes, Tim.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I do it good. The rest of you keep a
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: lookout for that stage from the east. Might come through
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: here early. What you gonna do, Sam? Never mind. Owens.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I don't remember seeing you wear a revolver. That's right.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Where is it? Your gun? Yes, your gun. It's in Tucson.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I sent it in to be fixed. What was wrong
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: with it? Broken firing pin? Mm-hmm. Mrs. Owens, I'm going
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: to have to look through your things.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: I'm not stopping you.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Go ahead. Search the whole room if you want to.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: If you're lying to me. Go ahead. Look.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: If we had a gun, we wouldn't be putting up
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: with your bullying.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: That's the point, ma'am.
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: Owens. Yeah, when the stage from the east comes through,
• 20:12
  Speaker 12: I want everything just as usual around here. You feed
• 20:15
  Speaker 12: the passengers and the crew and get them on.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Their way again with no question. They wanted no worse thing.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: You tell them he's gone to Tucson, not a Yuma.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Say he had a bad tooth, he had to go
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: to a dentist. I guess that'll work. It'll better work.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: Company rule.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: The wonderful company rule that was supposed to keep the
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: baby and me out of danger.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: If you would let us go.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Through on that stage, in another week, Callie would have
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: been with her father's family, safe.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Now, now, that brings up something I've been meaning to
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: ask you. Where is her father?
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Dead. Killed three months ago. Her mother, too.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, but I thought that she was... I told you.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: I'm plain Vinnie Holt. Callie isn't my baby.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Her mother, Jeannie.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: Was my sister. She married a gambler who got the
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: gold fever and just had to go to California.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: What took you out there?
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Jeannie wouldn't go without me. Now I'm going home without her.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: You say she and her husband were killed? How?
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: Jeannie was too pretty and Johnny was too jealous. One night,
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: a drunken plane jumper took a fancy to her, and
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: when the shooting was over, I was alone with Callie.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Well, that explains some things. It does? Yeah. I guess
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: you've got reason enough not to like men.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: I don't? Is that the impression I get?
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: You sure do.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Tom.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: That's a stage.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: There must be some way to get word to them.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: All right, now, we've got to be careful. Zimmerman will
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: be watching us like a hawk. Wait a minute. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: want some paper and a pencil out here. It's on
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the bureau. Zimmerman and his name are here. He is
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Bozeman as Sheriff Miles. Tom, you can't possibly slip that
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: note to the stage driver.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: You just said they'll be watching you every instant.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Then that may give you a chance. Here, hide this
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: in your blouse. And you be careful. If anything goes wrong,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: they'll shoot down everyone.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: I know, but don't you think.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Shh, shh, shh. Owen, why isn't that stage coming on in?
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: They're waiting for me to answer them. All right, then
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: do it. Come on out here. Yancey. Yeah, boss? Go
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: on back there and stay with the baby. Lock yourself
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: in that room and keep her quiet. Sure I will.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I just love babies. What about my wife? I was
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: coming to her. Tevis. Yes, Em? Take Mrs. Owens out
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: the back way. Take her up in that canyon behind
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: the station. Far enough so she can't yell. You bet.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: This is the kind of work I enjoy. Zimmerman, you
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: can't do that. Not with Tevis. Why not? You know
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: why as well.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: As I do.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Just look at her. She'll be all right. As long
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: as you don't make any mistakes. Now, where's your buble?
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Hanging over there. All right, go get it.
• 23:40
  Speaker 12: Sim, you told everybody what to do except me. You're
• 23:44
  Speaker 12: going to be out in the stable with your rifle, Grats.
• 23:45
  Speaker 12: You cover Owens and me when we meet the stage.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good.
• 23:50
  Speaker 12: Owens and his old friend, Deputy Sheriff Miles. Owens, I
• 24:00
  Speaker 12: said answer him.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: Hey, Tom!
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Tom! You want something, David? Yes. What happened to your cooking?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Everything's cold and there's not much of it. Didn't have
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: time to fix it, that's all. Well, why not? I've
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: been too busy. Oh, busy doing what?
• 24:35
  Speaker 12: All right, Tom, I thought you'd told him.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: You know, about Sam. Sam? Yeah, about his toothache and
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: having to go to the dentist in Tucson. Yeah, he
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: told his chef.
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: And you're staying on here to help out?
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I asked him to. Uh, Mr. Pickard, what are you
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: bound for? All just family, Sheriff. Uh-huh. What about you, Mr. Chickering?
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I'm going to California. Say, you know something, Sheriff? There's
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: something about you that... There is? Yeah, I keep thinking now.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Ain't I seen you somewhere before? Oh, maybe. You ever
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: been to Huntsville? Nope. I never want to read it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: That's where the territorial prison is located, isn't it? The
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: one that fellow Zimmerman broke out of? Yeah, that's the one, Mr. Pickett.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I suppose, Sheriff, you must have known Zimmerman. Well, I, uh...
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I saw him once or twice. Mr. Pickett's from the
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: New York Herald, Sheriff. He's probably looking for a story. Ah,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: a newspaper man, eh? You hear that, Tom? Maybe you
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: could give Mr. Pickett a story, eh? Oh, would you, Mr. Owens?
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe something with flavor and excitement? I'm sorry, Mr. Pickett.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Nothing much happens around here. Sheriff, about this fellow Zimmerman. Yeah?
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I understand he came from a pretty high-told family. That's right,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: he did.
• 26:00
  Speaker 11: If you met him, you'd probably take him for a
• 26:02
  Speaker 11: complete gentleman.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: You can call a murderer a gentleman. Well, I heard
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: he went wrong and caught some woman, a trio from
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: New Orleans. Yeah, they say she was a real looker.
• 26:11
  Speaker 11: Someone caught her double-dealing him with some other young, fancy dance.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Still involved. You seem to know quite a bit about Zimmerman, Mr. Figgins. Oh,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: forget it. I'm a newspaper man. Well, why don't you
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: tell us the rest of the story? I don't see
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: what you can add to that story except for to
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: catch him again and hang him. Uh, Mr. Chickering, what's
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: your line of business? I'm a drummer, Colt Firearms, Hartford, Connecticut. Now,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: is that so? I hear Colt's getting out some new
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: army models. That's what I'm taking to California, I'll assure you. Uh, no, no, no, no,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: that's all right. No trouble. Got my sample case right here. There.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: You ever see such beauties? You mind if I handle one, Mr. Chickering? Tom,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: go right ahead. We're proud of our product. Thank you.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Nice balance. If you want to test it, I've got
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: ammunition out the sea. You're an excellent salesman, Mr. Chickering.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: But I don't think there's time for that. What was that?
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: It was just a coyote. Like it came from the canyon. Well,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: it might have. Tom, may I see the gun, please? Tom?
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: It came from the canyon. It's only a coyote. The gun, Tom?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you. It's a spooky kind of noise, ain't it, girl?
• 27:41
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Is that why you're shivering?
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: It's cold.
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: The stage will be pulling out almost any time. There's
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: plenty of moonlight so we can see it.
• 27:55
  Speaker 11: Do you know what that coyote is howling about?
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: He just called for his lady friend. Come and be
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: sweet to him. Even old coyotes got pretty friends.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Tevis, please.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, Mr. Tevis. You don't have to be so nice
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: and nice, girl. Don't run away. I ain't gonna hurt
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: you now.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: I'll tell Zimmerman. I'll let him know. Just tell you that.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: You think I'm afraid of him, huh? Just because he
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: thinks he runs things?
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: Mr.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Tevis. Mr. Tevis. Mr. Tevis. Well, girl, you know how
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: long it's been since I seen a pretty face? Two years.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Too long yet. Hey, wait a minute, girlie. I told
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: you I'm not going to hurt you, no? Hey. What's
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: that you dropped?
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: What?
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: You dropped that piece of paper.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: No, I.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, you did. I seen that fall out of your blouse.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: My blouse?
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Well, there it is, right there at your feet. Oh, Mr.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: Taylor.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Now, pick it up. Go on. But... Now, give it
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: It's only a letter, a personal letter.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Who from?
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: My brother's.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Let me see if it is.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: You can't read it. There's no light.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: There's moonlight. That's good enough. Now hand it over. All right.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I guess you can have it back.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: What?
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Your letter.
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: You thought I didn't know how to read, didn't you? Well,
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: I guess I showed you, didn't I? I?
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mr.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Patterson.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I guess you did. You did indeed. Everybody aboard? So long, Davis.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: So long, Sam. Good ship. So long, gentlemen. All right, Owens,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: back indoors. My wife is over there. Travis is bringing
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: her in. Come on. Now, just a minute. Yes? Shut
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: the front door. Now, come here. Something wrong? Yeah. Plenty.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: That's for trying to get that salesman's gun.
• 30:44
  Speaker 12: And that's for not following my orders.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: And that's so you'll remember next time. What's the matter?
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: You're waking the baby. How do you think she can
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: sleep with all this rag? Oh, get out of here, Yancey. Jim.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Go on back to the room. All right, boss. All right,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: now I'm going to have to rock her to sleep again.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Are you... You're through with me, Zimmerman. No. That's Vinnie.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Don't move. I want to stay where you are. No.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Devis is after her. Vinnie! Vinnie! Oh, Tom. Oh, thank heaven.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's all right.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: It's all right. Everything will be all right. Devis! Come
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: in here.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: I didn't hurt her, Jim.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Come in here.
• 31:28
  Speaker 11: Now, don't go getting sore, Jim, because I'm in here.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Why, you... Don't hurt her. Jim! I told you to
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: leave her alone! I did, Jim, I did! I told you!
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: All right, get up. I'll get you first, Jim. I'll
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: kill you. All right. Try it. Well, go on. Draw.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: You'd like me to, wouldn't you? I'm not going to. No,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I didn't think you would. All right, Owens. Back to
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: your room. You too, Mrs. Owens. I'll get you here, Jim.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I'll get you.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you haven't got the guts.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Jim, doggone it.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: I told you, be quiet.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: The baby now. You're going to forget about her, Yancey. Yeah,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: we'll take care of her. Tally.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: Tally, honey.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I'll see both of you in the morning. Tom. Wait.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: He may be listening at the door. All right.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: Could you get word to the stage driver?
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: No.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: Tom, what are we going to do?
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We've got to keep on thinking and trying.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: But for how long? How much time have we got?
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Until the stage comes through from California with that gold shipment.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Until tomorrow morning. Now, late at night, some 12 hours
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: had passed.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Since Zimmerman and his companions took over the station at
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Rawhide Park. Locked in the small back room of the station,
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Tom stares hopelessly through the barred windows while Vinnie attempts
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: to comfort the restless baby.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: Now, now, Carrie, it's all right. No, I think it's
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: that howling coyote that's bothering me. There was just some
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: way of closing that window so we couldn't hear it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: It would be better if there was some way of
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: getting out through it. You know, the company put up
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: those iron bars so it was more valuable.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: Thoughtful of them.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: What is it? Look. Press your face against these bars
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: and look as far to the right as you can. Yeah.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: You see that stank of firewood by the corral? Yes. Well,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: that's about where you dropped my revolver, isn't that right?
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: Yes, on the far side.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe it's still there. It must be. If anybody
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: found it, please hear about it. I think we've got
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: to get that gun. Well, how?
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: How?
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: If we could break a hole through this adobe wall
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: tunnel and open it big enough to crawl through it.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: And dig it out with our fingernails, I suppose. I
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: only need something with a sharp point to it, sharp
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: and strong.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: You must have a butcher knife out in the kitchen.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, sure. Then let me get it. Will you? Yes,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: it'll be easier for me. But how? Well, uh, well, yes,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I'll use this water pitcher. I'll tell them I need
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: water for the babies.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: And I'll hide the knife inside the pitcher.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know, can you?
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: We've got to try, Tom.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: Zimmerman?
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Zimmerman, come here. Tell me exactly.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Where I'll find that knife.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: You know where the cask of water is?
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Alongside the cup?
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. The last time I saw it, it
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: was right under the table next to me. Good. What
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: do you want?
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: The baby's got a fever. I want to get her
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: some water.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: All right, give me the picture.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: No, I'll fill it. I don't know. The picture has
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: to be reached out first, Mr. Zimmerman. I don't want
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: to ask such a favor of you.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, come on.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: Would you know what time it is?
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: It's almost midnight.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: Where's Tevis?
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: He's outside. I put him on lookout. You're sure? About what?
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: That he's on lookout.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? Where'd you see him?
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: If you'll excuse me, Mrs. Zimmerman, I'd like to tell
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: this picture.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say. Where's Tevis? Well, he's outside, isn't he? Grat.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Have you seen him? Me, Sid? Tevis! Hey, Tevis! I
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: thought you said Tevis wasn't out there.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: I didn't say that at all.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: No? Then what were you trying to say?
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: Why, nothing.
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: Mr.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: Dillon, are you always as nervous.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: As this? You filled your pitcher? Yes. Then come on.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: What's the matter with your baby?
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: She's got very evil. I don't know why she had
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: to be here anyway.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: Why not?
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: I just don't like her being here, that's all.
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: Good night, Mr.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Zimmerman. Yeah. Good night. Did you get it?
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Good. And I found a place to dig. Look, right
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: here at the base of the north wall. Tom? Oh,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: this is going to be just like Brock. Knife hardly
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: makes a dent.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: Let me try it for a while.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: All right. You better let me take over for a while.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: All right, here. Come on. Grant? Hey, Grant. Yes, David.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: You want some whiskey? If you put it away, you
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: know what's inside. Yes, I know. Tom, Tom, I've broken through. Yeah.
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: All right, now we've.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Got to widen the hole.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: And make it big enough to crawl through.
• 38:55
  Speaker 13: Give me the knife.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Come on. I told you to leave that whiskey alone.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I won't forget this, dear. I won't forget it.
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: Tom, the.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Sun's coming up. Can't you hurry? do you think I'm doing? Oh, Benny. Benny.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: What is it?
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, the knife broke.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, no, no.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the blade's stuck tight on the adobe here.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: Can you pull it loose?
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute. Oh, no, I can't get a hole. Oh, look, Penny,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: do you think the hole's wide enough for you to
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: squeeze through?
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: No, I'm trying.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: Get down.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: I'm pushing. All right, that's it. Just get your shoulders through.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Go on. Go on.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: I can't. That hole's hardly big enough for a child
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: to crawl through.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: A child... Penny, do you think maybe the baby... Oh, oh, Tom, really.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: You think all I have to say is a calligrapher
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: climbed through this hole and crawled across the yard to
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: that pile of firewood and bring back that big, shiny revolver?
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. Oh, she's just old enough
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: to talk, to understand. Well, I guess that's it. Yes,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: that's it.
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: Digging our hands raw like a couple of rats, but what...
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: For 24 hours, we've let those murderers walk all over us,
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: order us around, do this, do that, and we did it.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: You can't argue with a gun.
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: Why not? Where has this gotten us?
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Well, we're still alive, aren't we?
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: Still alive. You know what's going to happen just as
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: well as I do.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Well, sure I do.
• 41:10
  Speaker 9: Any minute now, they're going to come in here and
• 41:12
  Speaker 9: take me out there to harness that team.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: I'm Zimmerman's bait for the stagecoach, a bait for ambush.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: But what do you want me to do about it? Say,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Mr. Zimmerman, I'm not working today?
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: Oh, Callie, Callie, please.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: And maybe I've been wrong about something else, too. Maybe
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: we shouldn't have pretended to be Mr. and Mrs., but
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: I figured it was a good bargain for both of us.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: I thought they'd treat you all right because they wanted
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: me to cooperate. Oh, yes.
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: They've just treated me wonderful, especially Heather.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: All right, from here on out, you can just do
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: better on your own. Maybe you better tell Zimmerman who
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: you are.
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: Maybe I will.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Callie, stop it.
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: Stop it.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: What's going on in there? Go ahead, Bennett. Now's the time.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Go ahead and tell him. Tell me what, Mrs. Owens? Well,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: what did you want to tell me? Nothing.
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: It's nothing that concerns you, Mr.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Zimmerman.
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: A husband and wife can quarrel in private, can't they?
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't very private. Owens, the stage ought to
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: be along any time.
• 42:12
  Speaker 12: Get out there and hitch up the team.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: Tom?
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: No, you stay in here, Mrs. Dorn. Tom? Tom?
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: Tom, oh, no. They must....
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe the stage won't come. Callie?
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: Callie, where are you?
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: It's got to be.
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: Tally? She couldn't have stopped through that hole. Tally?
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: Tally! What's all the yelling about?
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: My baby.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: She's outside.
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: I've got to get to her.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: No, you don't. Now, no trick.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: But my baby, Callie.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: No. Let me go. Let me go. Get back. Let
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: go of her. Zim, I didn't do nothing. She was
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: yelling and pounding on the door. I warned you for
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: the last time. You hear me? You hear me? No, Zim.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: No more. All right. Get back in the room, Mrs. Zorn.
• 43:23
  Speaker 12: I'll say that he doesn't bother you anymore.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Travis. I said I'd get you, Zim. I told you
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: I would. Come back. Come back here. You come back. Come.
• 43:42
  Speaker 8: Come.
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: Benny.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Benny, what's happened?
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: The baby. He crawled through the hole. We've got to
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: find him.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: All right. Come on. Let's get that gun. Show me
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: where it is. Come on.
• 43:53
  Speaker 8: Where are you?
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Come quick.
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: The other side of the room. I'll come. The other side.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: All right, where is it?
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but it's got to be here.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Youngster! Jim said somebody killed him. I did. I'm the
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: boss now, you hear? You want all the gold for yourself? No,
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: that's not right. Tom. Yeah, that's just one less of them. Now, now, now,
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: don't shoot, heavy. Don't shoot. I'm leaving. The gun. The gun.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Where is it? Tom.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: There. Almost under that wall. All right, then.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Keep down, Tom.
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: Keep down.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: It's no use, Owen. I'm coming after you. Come ahead, Tevis. Hey!
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: You didn't expect that, did you, Tevis? Let's let you
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: know I've got plenty full of knowing. My gun and
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Zim's and Cracky's. Oh, Tom.
• 44:56
  Speaker 11: There's Callie.
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: I got you.
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: No, you don't.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: You're taking me. Christopher. Now, you want to give Tevis ideas? Hey, Owen!
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: You see that, baby?
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: It's washed. No plumbing.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Next time I may not miss. Oh, Donald. Donald. Keep
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: down and keep quiet.
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: You better throw it on your throne, Owen.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: Come out and open.
• 45:23
  Speaker 13: How about it, Owen?
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Tom. Keep that aside. Stand up, all. Let's see you.
• 45:41
  Speaker 12: That's it.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: That's all I can do. Good. You're my real birdie.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: Now start walking towards me. Let's start walking. That's it.
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: That's nice.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: It's a real knife. What you stopping for? Don't yell
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: at it now. Come on. He's coming.
• 46:22
  Speaker 12: He show me how a real man dies, huh?
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: That's it. Come on. Come on. Just a couple steps more, Tommy.
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, you.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: You... Callie!
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: Callie, come here!
• 46:39
  Speaker 13: Tom!
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: Tom, are you all right?
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm all right.
• 46:47
  Speaker 13: And I was worried about your being able to handle
• 46:49
  Speaker 13: a gun. Thank you, Vinnie.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: There's this page. Yes.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: When it leaves you and the baby can be on it.
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: What about you? You're leaving too, aren't you?
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: No, my relief won't get here until next week. I'm
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: just going to have to wait until then.
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: Tom, would you mind if I wait and.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Go back with you? I was hoping you might want to.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: I do, Tom. I do.
• 47:25
  Speaker 9: I do.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: I'd better answer that bugle and let him know that
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: everything's all right. It is all right. Isn't it, Betty? Oh, yes, Tom.
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: Everything's all right now.
• 48:06
