🌙 The Moonlighter (1953) is a gripping blend of Western action and romantic drama, showcasing the stellar chemistry of Hollywood icons Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray. Directed by Roy Rowland, this noir-tinged Western stands out for its unique plot and rare use of 3D cinematography during the golden era of classic cinema.
🔫 Set in the lawless frontiers of the American West, The Moonlighter explores themes of justice, revenge, and redemption with a compelling mix of gunfights, jailbreaks, and romantic tension. With a runtime of just 1 hour and 19 minutes, the film delivers a concise yet powerful story, driven by its strong performances and classic 1950s Western aesthetics.
📖 Plot Summary
Wes Anderson (Fred MacMurray) is a notorious "moonlighter"—a term referring to cattle rustlers who operate at night. After years of dodging the law, Wes is finally captured and wrongly thrown into a jail meant for another outlaw. In a twist of fate, he survives a lynching that was intended for someone else, setting him on a path of vengeance.
Upon his release, Wes returns to his hometown seeking justice. There, he is reunited with his former sweetheart, Laurie (Barbara Stanwyck), who once loved him deeply but has grown disillusioned by his outlaw ways. Laurie now finds herself torn between lingering feelings and her desire for a more stable, lawful life.
As Wes confronts his past and those who betrayed him, his younger brother Tom (William Ching) becomes entangled in the escalating violence. The brothers’ conflicting paths mirror the central tension of the film: the struggle between lawlessness and redemption. When tragedy strikes, Wes must choose between revenge and a second chance at life and love.
With the law closing in and Laurie's future hanging in the balance, The Moonlighter delivers a climactic showdown that tests every character’s loyalty, courage, and morality.

00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30It's me thereafter, Wes Anderson.
00:01:43Here it is, the beginning of the 20th century.
00:01:45The West is supposed to be civilized now.
00:01:48But death by violence is still the penalty for cattle rustling.
00:01:52Sure, there's supposed to be law and order here in Santa Luz.
00:01:55But if these self-appointed hangmen have a necktie party in mind, nothing's going to stop them.
00:02:01They won't wait for any evidence.
00:02:03The sheriff said I'd get a fair trial when he brought me in.
00:02:07But these ex-bar riders will string up a suspected moonlighter first and prove he was guilty later.
00:02:11Hey, Slim.
00:02:30Hey, it appears to me they've got ropes enough of their own to get the job done.
00:02:49Hot tamales, senor.
00:02:51No thanks, Chico. Later.
00:02:53Hey, what are they doing uptown?
00:02:56Getting liquored up.
00:02:58One by a rope.
00:02:59A hanging rope, I think.
00:03:01You know, I sure feel sorry for that moonlighter in jail.
00:03:07Hey, Sheriff.
00:03:08When does the necktie party start?
00:03:17Sheriff.
00:03:19Brother, am I glad to see you.
00:03:23That crowd out there is as wild as a bunch of catamounts.
00:03:26Ah, that ain't a hanging crowd.
00:03:27Just a watching crowd.
00:03:29Waiting for something to start.
00:03:31Brought you this shotgun. Maybe it'll make you feel better.
00:03:34It don't.
00:03:35Well, keep it handy anyway.
00:03:36Where's my man?
00:03:38Got him in cell number three.
00:03:40That has the best lock on it.
00:03:42I wish this whole darn jail had better locks on it.
00:03:46I wish it had a better turnkey.
00:03:51Sheriff.
00:03:53I didn't beat my wife, sir.
00:03:55That was her boyfriend beat her.
00:03:57That's not what the judge said.
00:04:01That was her boyfriend.
00:04:02Even Anderson.
00:04:04How do you feel?
00:04:08I feel all right.
00:04:11I hear I'm supposed to swing tonight.
00:04:13I came to tell you, don't take no stock in it.
00:04:15Figured you can stop him?
00:04:18I do.
00:04:20I don't.
00:04:22You don't seem very worried.
00:04:25Wayne isn't going to keep him out.
00:04:28If they want me, they'll come and get me.
00:04:30I think you'll find out different.
00:04:32You're being held for trial.
00:04:34I mean to see that you get one.
00:04:36You'll get all the protection the law can give you.
00:04:41I appreciate your intentions anyway.
00:04:42You're being held.
00:04:43You're being held for trial.
00:04:47Deliver Daniel.
00:04:49Deliver Daniel.
00:04:51Deliver Daniel.
00:04:54How did my lord deliver Daniel?
00:04:58And why not every man?
00:05:01Lonesome kind of feller, eh?
00:05:03Guess in his spot, a man feels kind of lonesome.
00:05:06There they are.
00:05:07That ain't them.
00:05:08Who is it?
00:05:09Deputy Baylison, prisoner.
00:05:11It's the deputy.
00:05:11Let him in.
00:05:19It's all we need.
00:05:21Jail full of hobos on a night like this.
00:05:23I had to pinch him, didn't I?
00:05:25What should I do?
00:05:26Let him ride the Santa Fe freight trains for free
00:05:27just because the X-bar's after that doggone moon lighter?
00:05:30You did all right.
00:05:32Book him in.
00:05:33Get in.
00:05:37I'm going to supper.
00:05:38It's the last chance I'll get to eat
00:05:40if we're going to be up all night.
00:05:41You coming, Joe?
00:05:43Yes.
00:05:45You fellas fixin' to leave me here alone?
00:05:47We'll be back in a half hour.
00:05:49All you got to do is keep the door shut.
00:05:50If they start anything on the outside,
00:05:52we'll be out there to handle it.
00:05:55I never was the right man for this job.
00:06:09Look at that floor.
00:06:10I like clean jails.
00:06:13It don't suit you?
00:06:14What's a pigsty?
00:06:16I'm ashamed to be pinching a jail like this.
00:06:19I'll tell you how we can fix that.
00:06:21You can clean it up.
00:06:22Well, I'll be glad to.
00:06:24We're going to have visitors tonight anyhow.
00:06:27Place might as well look decent.
00:06:29Visitors?
00:06:29Who are they after?
00:06:33The moonlighter in cell number three.
00:06:36Moonlighter?
00:06:37Say, I've heard tell of them.
00:06:39But I never did know why they'd hang a fella for that.
00:06:42It's just another kind of cattle stealin',
00:06:44only a little rougher.
00:06:45They call it moonlightin'.
00:06:46These smart ropin' fellas sneak on a man's range
00:06:50when the moon's bright enough to rope by.
00:06:52Rope a few wild stock.
00:06:54Then they herd the whole bunch off the range before sunup.
00:06:57That's him right there.
00:07:01Are you a moonlighter, sure enough?
00:07:03Tidy's my name.
00:07:05What do you think this is, a church social?
00:07:07Let me speak to the man, won't you?
00:07:08I got some respect for him.
00:07:11I sure admire a man that can swing a rope by moonlight.
00:07:14I can't even dab on daytimes any good.
00:07:20Now, you shouldn't do that.
00:07:22Honestly, it's not neat.
00:07:24Now, you're a cell now.
00:07:25I hate to say this, but it's the dirtiest cell
00:07:27in the whole place.
00:07:28I don't see how you can live in it.
00:07:30Listen to the man talk.
00:07:32Look, man, what does he care about the dirt in his cell?
00:07:36He's gonna swing tonight.
00:07:38They're going to hang him.
00:07:40Yes, I'm mighty sorry about that.
00:07:42I once pretty nearly got to hang myself.
00:07:45I'd be pleased to clean up your cell for you
00:07:47if you don't mind.
00:07:48You got any objections, Mr. Anderson?
00:07:51No, go ahead.
00:07:53All right.
00:07:55Start with this one.
00:07:57I'll just put you down here in number four
00:07:59until he's through.
00:08:13Go ahead.
00:08:14Get busy.
00:08:15Get busy.
00:08:15The sheriff and deputy are over at the cafe.
00:08:31All right.
00:08:32Let's go.
00:08:32Here come the X-bar, boys.
00:08:54Move.
00:08:55Go in there.
00:09:00Can you hear me?
00:09:04This is the legendary prince of the X-bar.
00:09:08We've come for that moonlighter.
00:09:10Send him out or we're coming in after him.
00:09:14We're not sending him out, see?
00:09:16I got orders.
00:09:17I'm keeping him here.
00:09:18Okay, boys.
00:09:20Better work on that door.
00:09:20Don't leave me in here.
00:09:46Let me out.
00:09:56Take me with you.
00:09:57Get back out of there.
00:09:58Oh, no, Lord.
00:10:12Oh, no.
00:10:17Oh, no, God.
00:10:19Either way, though I walk through the valley
00:10:22or the shadow of death,
00:10:25I'll fear no evil without it with me.
00:10:29I rot and I stand.
00:10:33They comfort me.
00:10:34Oh, they whipped him up the hill.
00:10:42Up the hill.
00:10:45Up the hill.
00:10:49Ain't that the turnkey?
00:10:52Yeah.
00:10:53Follow him and get the keys.
00:10:59All right, break it down and get in there.
00:11:02Hurry up, Joe.
00:11:14Get it down!
00:11:19Sheriff, they're going wild down there.
00:11:21They're breaking down the door.
00:11:22I told you to stay there.
00:11:24I ain't getting myself killed for no darn moonlighter.
00:11:26Come on, Joe.
00:11:27We want those keys.
00:11:32You know I won't give them to you.
00:11:34I'm warning you.
00:11:35If there's any violence done in that jail,
00:11:37you'll be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
00:11:46Now, what does this moonlighter look like?
00:11:49You're so smart.
00:11:50I think your judge, jury, and hangman
00:11:52all rolled into one.
00:11:54Now, you tell me.
00:11:58Now, what cell's he in?
00:12:00Come on, you heard him.
00:12:01What cell is he in?
00:12:05You better answer, Sheriff.
00:12:07Because if you don't,
00:12:08we'll hang every one of them bums in that jail.
00:12:11Now, what'll it be?
00:12:13The moonlighter or the whole passel of them?
00:12:15He's in cell number three.
00:12:22That's better.
00:12:25Let's keep him covered.
00:12:28Here's the keys.
00:12:29He's in cell number three.
00:12:30Can't wait, boys.
00:12:31We're going in.
00:12:35Cell number three.
00:12:36Number three.
00:12:37Here he is.
00:12:38Cell number three.
00:12:40Oh, no.
00:12:41No.
00:12:42All right, boys, get him.
00:12:43I didn't do it.
00:12:44You got the wrong man.
00:12:46Oh, no.
00:12:47He's shot.
00:12:48Hit him in there.
00:12:50Oh, no.
00:12:51Get him out of there.
00:12:52Oh, no.
00:12:53Hurry up.
00:12:53Hurry up.
00:12:53Hurry up.
00:12:53Hurry up.
00:12:53Hurry up.
00:12:54Hurry up.
00:12:54Hurry up.
00:12:54Hurry up.
00:12:57Wait a minute.
00:13:01Wait a minute.
00:13:05You're making a mistake.
00:13:06You got the wrong man.
00:13:07You do have that.
00:13:07Yeah, I heard it.
00:13:09That's so.
00:13:11Come on.
00:13:12Come on.
00:13:13Come on.

00:13:30Come on.
00:13:31He just chilled down his head, and he cried.
00:13:40George.
00:14:10George.
00:14:40Hey, let me out.
00:15:10Cut him down.
00:15:40Cut him down.
00:16:10Oh, here we are, ma'am.
00:16:25What did you say his name was?
00:16:27Glenn Muscova.
00:16:27Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:16:48Good afternoon.
00:16:49Was you interested in some cabinet work?
00:16:52No, I'm here in reference to a diseased person.
00:16:56Oh, that's different.
00:16:58Won't you be seated, ma'am?
00:17:06I read in the paper that the body of a certain man was taken from the river in this town.
00:17:16Oh, you mean the moonlighter, Wes Anderson?
00:17:20Yes.
00:17:21You're his widow?
00:17:23No, I'm a friend.
00:17:24I'm here on behalf of his mother and his brother.
00:17:27It is their wish and mine to provide for the burial.
00:17:30Well, Wes Anderson is buried, ma'am.
00:17:33Oh, I didn't know.
00:17:34That paper you read must have been an old one.
00:17:38He was interred last week.
00:17:40He had quite a party at his funeral.
00:17:42Then he wasn't buried in the potter's field.
00:17:44Oh, no, ma'am.
00:17:46Not by no means.
00:17:48He had one of the most elegant obsequies I ever provided.
00:17:52A relative stumped up for it.
00:17:55A relative?
00:17:56I was sitting right here when the telegram come.
00:18:00Got a telegram for you, Glenn.
00:18:02Yeah?
00:18:02Yep.
00:18:03Hmm.
00:18:04See you again.
00:18:10Angelica, listen to this.
00:18:12That moonlighter they hanged up the river last week
00:18:15had relatives after all.
00:18:16This man signs his name W.O. Anderson.
00:18:20Do you know him?
00:18:21Heck no, but I guess he's heard of me.
00:18:24Says he's coming to town Saturday.
00:18:26Wish to provide first-class burial for the deceased,
00:18:31followed by free collation.
00:18:36Will pay for all expenses.
00:18:38Signed W.O. Anderson.
00:18:40Well, I'm glad that poor fellow will be buried right,
00:18:43even if he didn't die right.
00:18:45Yeah.
00:18:46Say, uh, what's, uh, what's a collation?
00:18:50Why, Glenn, fancy you not knowing that.
00:18:52A collation is just grand.
00:18:54It's a big feed-like with sandwiches and beer and all.
00:18:57Oh.
00:18:57This Mr. Anderson must have a lot of money.
00:18:59Yeah, reckon.
00:19:00Well, I gotta go downtown and make arrangements.
00:19:02Give it up, Chad, right?
00:19:21Next afternoon, I had everything ready.
00:19:24They told me at the hotel that Mr. Anderson had come in.
00:19:27Said he had gone over to the barbershop.
00:19:29Oh, uh, are you Mr. W.O. Anderson?
00:19:36No.
00:19:37I think you're looking for me.
00:19:39Oh, uh, Mr. Anderson, I'm Clemens Escobar.
00:19:41Oh, yes.
00:19:42Glad to know you.
00:19:43I made all the arrangements just like you wanted, Mr. Anderson.
00:19:45You'll be pleased with this burial.
00:19:47I swear you will.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:48When do we start?
00:19:49Uh, right away.
00:19:50As a matter of fact, we was expecting a little earlier.
00:19:52Folks are already assembling.
00:19:53Good.
00:19:55There you are.
00:19:56Keep the change.
00:19:56Thank you very much, sir.
00:19:57Expecting a big crowd?
00:19:58Oh, yes, indeed, Mr. Anderson.
00:20:00I let the news get out about the collation, you know.
00:20:03I hope that was all right.
00:20:05Fine.
00:20:05The more, the merrier.
00:20:06Well, right this way, Mr. Anderson, over to Granger's Hall.
00:20:10Uh, there's just one detail, Mr. Anderson.
00:20:13I hope you won't mind my mentioning it.
00:20:15What's that?
00:20:15Well, mostly when a relative orders a funeral, we ask for a deposit.
00:20:20Oh, you do, huh?
00:20:21Well, it's a kind of a rule.
00:20:23But in your case, I went right ahead, of course, and did as you directed.
00:20:26Now, where's your bill?
00:20:28Oh, right, right, right here, Mr. Anderson.
00:20:30Right here.
00:20:32Well, you haven't charged enough if you did everything I asked you to.
00:20:35It's worth at least $100 more.
00:20:37Oh, oh, that's mighty kind of you, Mr. Anderson.
00:20:40But I never give a deposit.
00:20:41I'll pay you in full with the extra hundred just as soon as the ceremony's over.
00:20:45Oh, oh, yes, sir.
00:20:46Yes, sir.
00:20:47Ladies, be seated.
00:21:08Gentlemen, step forward.
00:21:12As advertised, the Free Coalition will take place here, the services in the churchyard.
00:21:23Before we go any further, a short eulogy will be delivered by Mr. W.O. Anderson.
00:21:31Mr. Anderson.
00:21:32It's hard for me to think of Wes Anderson as being dead.
00:21:39Maybe that's how it is sometimes when you know a man real well.
00:21:42And I guess I knew Wes better than anybody did.
00:21:45I was mighty close to him.
00:21:49Even right now, it seems to me like he's still alive, standing here talking to you, same as I am.
00:21:54Wes sure would have been pleased if so many of you came down here to say goodbye to him.
00:21:57He was a lonely kind of guy.
00:21:59Never got enough of a lot of things he wanted.
00:22:02Friends and fun, cattle and money.
00:22:06He had good folks.
00:22:07But he left them to ramble and gamble in every cow town from the Pecos to the Powder River.
00:22:12He had a nice gal, too.
00:22:14But he just never could seem to settle down like she wanted him to.
00:22:19Yes, he was a wandering man.
00:22:22But he never did set out to do harm.
00:22:24About the worst you could say about him is that, well, he got impatient for money.
00:22:30So he started roping cattle in the moonlight.
00:22:33Other people's cattle.
00:22:35And that got him in trouble and led to his death.
00:22:37We're saying goodbye to this moonlighter today.
00:22:40He'll have a grave.
00:22:43But to my mind, there'll be a part of him that won't find ease in it.
00:22:46If ever a ghost can ride and shoot, that's what the ghost of Wes Anderson will do.
00:22:50Maybe he'll look to get even with the men who strung him up.
00:22:54I figure he'd want to do that.
00:22:56But more than that, maybe he'll look to even up the score with all the lynchers in the world.
00:23:01Friends, I want to thank you for your patience.
00:23:05But Cle Muskebaugh here has done such a fine job, I'm going to take up a small contribution for him.
00:23:09So if you gentlemen will all line up along that wall over there, I'll pass among you and receive your voluntary contributions.
00:23:18You ladies can stay where you are.
00:23:21You can just put them in the hat, gentlemen.
00:23:23Come on, hurry it up.
00:23:25Get your contributions out, boys.
00:23:33This is not a voluntary contribution.
00:23:35This is highway robbery.
00:23:36Come on, cough up.
00:23:37I will not.
00:23:38Cough up!
00:23:39Oh!
00:23:41You'll pay for this later.
00:23:42Yeah, well, you pay for it now.
00:23:47Clem?
00:23:47Yes, yes, sir.
00:23:49Yes, sir.
00:23:50Thanks for a fine funeral.
00:23:58You've been more than generous, gentlemen.
00:24:00Go after him, man.
00:24:01Let's get him.
00:24:02Let's get him.
00:24:09And that's the last we saw or heard of him.
00:24:15I give back the stick pin and the watch, and they still want me to give back the money.
00:24:19But I've done my work, and I've got a right to be paid.
00:24:23I'm keeping it even if I have to go to court over it.
00:24:28Thank you, Mr. Uscobah.
00:24:30I've been most interested in what you had to tell me.
00:24:32Anything I can do for you at any time, ma'am.
00:24:36No, I don't think there'll be anything.
00:24:39Thank you again.
00:24:40Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:24:41Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:24:41Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:24:49Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:25:08Hello, darling.
00:25:09Did you have a nice trip?
00:25:10Pretty good.
00:25:11what'd you find out he's still alive the man they hanged with someone else are you sure
00:25:19who'd you talk to the coroner and several other people and mr anderson paid for the burial
00:25:25he even preached the eulogy over the corpse that was supposed to be him
00:25:28only west would figure that one out he'd have fun doing it meaning you would have liked to
00:25:34have done it yourself i never said that rally haven't you gotten him out of your thoughts yet
00:25:41he's been gone five years now i don't think there's been a minute in that time when you've
00:25:45stopped waiting and hoping i want to know where i stand i want an answer you would have had an answer
00:25:50a long time ago if i'd been sure of you remember when you wanted to follow in his footsteps and go
00:25:56moonlighting too yeah but you put a stop to that for keeps tom if i'm what you want i think we can
00:26:05make a go of it that's all i wanted to hear we'll tell your mother tonight she's been expecting it
00:26:13you know how much she loves you yes but what shall we tell her about him after all we haven't any proof
00:26:19that he's still alive and she has accepted his death it may be better for her not to know it all
00:26:25that's what i was thinking then she won't always be wondering about him where he is
00:26:31what he's been up to
00:26:35whatever he's up to
00:26:39can't be anything that's good
00:26:41i swore at my own funeral i'd even up the score with all the lynchers in the world
00:26:49and first on the list were the ringleaders at the x-bar ranch who killed an innocent man
00:26:54his death still haunted me i couldn't sleep

00:29:24Hello, Susie.
00:29:26What can I do for you today?
00:29:27Your mom sent me for you.
00:29:29She wants you to come home right away.
00:29:31Something wrong?
00:29:32She wants you to come home.
00:29:34She told me to tell you right away.
00:29:36Thank you, Susie.
00:29:38Come on.
00:29:39Come on.
00:29:40Come on.
00:29:41Come on.
00:29:43Come on.
00:29:44Come on.
00:29:45Come, Susie.
00:29:49Come, Susie.
00:29:52Come on.
00:29:53Oh, and ...
00:30:00Mother.
00:30:07Mother.
00:30:11What's wrong?
00:30:12Wes has come home.
00:30:14Wes?
00:30:15Where is he?
00:30:16He's upstairs lying down.
00:30:18Oh, Tommy, he's been wounded too, but he wouldn't let me send for the doctor.
00:30:22Oh, he's in some bad trouble of that, I'm sure.
00:30:25He's in trouble.
00:30:26He could have stayed away.
00:30:27Well, he came here, son, because he had nowhere else to go.
00:30:30And here, he's welcome.
00:30:39Hello, Tom.
00:30:41Surprised to see me, huh?
00:30:43Yeah, Wes.
00:30:44Mighty glad.
00:30:45Yeah.
00:30:46You're looking good, Tom.
00:30:48I guess you heard they hang me.
00:30:50Don't put any stock in it.
00:30:53Kind of got yourself hurt, huh?
00:30:55Yeah, yeah.
00:30:57I need some stuff from the druggist, some bandages and things.
00:30:59I got a list here.
00:31:01Get her for me, will you?
00:31:03If folks in town start nosing around, you don't know anything, you understand?
00:31:07Yeah, Wes.
00:31:08I'll go right away.
00:31:10Hey, Tom.
00:31:12Stop by and see Rella, huh?
00:31:13Tell her I'm home.
00:31:16Tell Rella?
00:31:17Yeah.
00:31:17What's the matter?
00:31:18She hasn't moved away, has she?
00:31:20She hasn't gotten married or anything.
00:31:21No, Wes.
00:31:24Tell her I want to see her.
00:31:26Tell her to come over here.
00:31:30All right, Wes.
00:31:34Wes, go upstairs and lie down again.
00:31:37And I'll bring your dinner up to you.
00:31:39All right, Mom.
00:31:45How long has it taken Tom so long?
00:31:51Here you are home again.
00:31:53And you've been gone five years.
00:31:56And in all that time, you've hardly ever written a letter.
00:31:59Were you in trouble, son?
00:32:01But you didn't want to write home?
00:32:02That's right, Mom.
00:32:03You should have settled down.
00:32:08Now, Tommy, he's settling down.
00:32:10Tom's coming now, Mom.
00:32:17Son.
00:32:19Yes, Mom?
00:32:20You...
00:32:20Never mind.
00:32:29I got your stuff.
00:32:31They were asking questions over at the drugstore.
00:32:33I told her, Mom, I had a stilber.
00:32:35Yeah, good.
00:32:37You stopped by and saw Rella.
00:32:38Yeah, I saw him.
00:32:39She coming over?
00:32:41No, she's not coming.
00:32:43You told her I was home.
00:32:45Yeah, I told her.
00:32:46What'd she say?
00:32:48She doesn't want to see you.
00:32:51She must be going with somebody else.
00:32:54That must be it.
00:32:58Tom.
00:32:58You were acting mighty funny downstairs when I asked you to tell Rella to come over.
00:33:05It's you.
00:33:06She's going with you.
00:33:07Even if you are my brother, I'll break every...
00:33:09Don't be a fool, Wes.
00:33:11You left.
00:33:11She thought you were dead.
00:33:13Suppose you'd stayed.
00:33:13What would you have done for her?
00:33:14Well, I may not have much, Wes, but I've got Rella.
00:33:18And you're not going to take her away from me.
00:33:21You had that little piece all planned to speak, didn't you?
00:33:23Maybe so, but I mean it, Wes.
00:33:26Even if it takes some killing, I mean it.
00:33:30Sure.
00:33:32Sure, I must be crazy coming back after all this time and thinking she'd still be waiting for me.
00:33:37I'll tell you something.
00:33:41Better this way.
00:33:43Better for you and better for Rella.
00:33:46I'm glad you see it that way, Wes.
00:33:51Come on.
00:33:54Help me fix this shoulder.
00:33:58Take it easy.
00:34:07Take it easy.
00:34:33Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:35:03Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:35:22What do you got here, boy?
00:35:26What do you know?
00:35:27Looks like all Mr. Mountain Lion dropped by for breakfast.
00:35:30I'll get a rifle. We'll go after him. What do you say?
00:35:32Like old times, huh?
00:36:00Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Get away, Hank. Get away, Hank.
00:36:20He's a big boy, isn't he?
00:36:23He won't be dropping over for breakfast anymore.
00:36:27Come on, Hank.
00:36:48Hello, Rilla.
00:36:51Hello, Wes.
00:36:57So you got him.
00:37:04I've been trailing him all night.
00:37:07He was over at your ranch, too, huh?
00:37:10Killed a lamb in my corral about half past ten.
00:37:13Then you must have started after him before I did.
00:37:18In the old days, I could have started later and still killed him first.
00:37:22You're a better trail hand than you used to think.
00:37:24Well, they say there's nothing like being hunted to sharpen up a hundred.
00:37:29I suppose so.
00:37:32You've changed, Wes.
00:37:34Nobody stays the same.
00:37:37Got a cigarette?
00:37:39I got the makings.
00:37:46You've changed, too, Rilla.
00:37:48How?
00:37:50Well, I'd say you're more sure of yourself.
00:37:53Maybe you need people less.
00:37:55Maybe I need them more, but I've learned to show it less.
00:37:59Tom said you didn't want to see me.
00:38:01I didn't at first.
00:38:03But I'm glad you were tracking the cat.
00:38:04Gives me a chance to talk to you.
00:38:06I wanted to explain to you about Tom and myself.
00:38:10You don't have to explain.
00:38:11I was pretty sore when I first heard about it, but...
00:38:14then I got to thinking and saw where it was better for both of you.
00:38:17Tom told me you said that.
00:38:19It meant a lot.
00:38:21I'll be going away as soon as...
00:38:23as soon as this gets better.
00:38:25You're an idiot to hunt with it that way.
00:38:27A wound that doesn't heal will always stay weak.
00:38:29Tom told me it was a wound.
00:38:34Uh-huh.
00:38:36I got shot through the shoulder.
00:38:38I was lucky it didn't hit any bone.
00:38:40I don't like to think about that.
00:38:42Oh, not so much the injury, but...
00:38:44the men against you, the law against you.
00:38:47What happened, Wes? What changed you?
00:38:50I got wise to myself, that's all.
00:38:53You don't seem very wise to me.
00:38:54Have you learned anything with all that wisdom...
00:38:58that helps you to live like a human being?
00:39:00Like a human being?
00:39:02I'd rather live like that cat and get shot off a rock.
00:39:05I'd rather run in the hills with the hounds after me.
00:39:07I know what people are like now, Rella.
00:39:10What kind of crazy thinking is that?
00:39:12I saw a man die for me.
00:39:14I saw him hang.
00:39:15They took him by mistake for me.
00:39:17I saw what happened.
00:39:19That's what taught me about human beings.
00:39:20You know who taught me about human beings?
00:39:23You.
00:39:25In the days when we were close together.
00:39:28Maybe you should have had a better teacher.
00:39:31No.
00:39:33No, you were my whole world.
00:39:35I was proud just to be alive and have you for my man.
00:39:39Oh, Wes, you can't shut yourself off from people.
00:39:41They can be horrible, I know.
00:39:43And that lynching must have been an awful thing to see.
00:39:46But you can't make the whole world responsible for what a mob did to another man.
00:39:49They were doing it to me.
00:39:51They thought they were.
00:39:53I'm probably the only man alive that saw himself hanged.
00:39:56I know about people, Rella.
00:39:58I'm not sentimental anymore.
00:40:00I'm strong because I can go my own way.
00:40:02And that's the road I'm gonna travel.
00:40:05If you could love, you wouldn't feel that way.
00:40:10Who would there be for me to love?
00:40:19No way, no.
00:40:24Rella, you don't want to marry Tom.
00:40:27I'm going to marry him.
00:40:29Do you love him?
00:40:31Tom is a wonderful man, Wes.
00:40:32We'll have a good life together.
00:40:34Please don't spoil that for me.
00:40:36I know it sounds crazy to ask you anything like that, but...
00:40:40Tom admires you more than anybody.
00:40:41He wants to be like you.
00:40:42When you went moonlighting, he wanted to run away and do it, too.
00:40:46Don't change him, Wes.
00:40:49Let me have this one thing as a gift from you.
00:40:53Promise me?
00:40:57All right, Rella.
00:40:59It's a deal.
00:41:56Do you wish to see somebody, sir?
00:41:58Yes.
00:42:00Which one is Mr. Anderson?
00:42:01Well, Mr. Anderson is one of our tellers.
00:42:04That's his window right there.
00:42:12You gave me $10 too much, Tom.
00:42:14Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I must have been wool gathering.
00:42:17$10 I return, but do it to the hundred, and you won't get it back.
00:42:31It was a big guy in a dark hat.
00:42:40Oh, I'm sorry. I... someone will wait on you in just a minute.
00:42:48Oh, Mr. Mott, sir, could I be excused for an hour or so?
00:42:51There's something I really should attend to at home.
00:42:54Sit down, Tom.
00:42:57Are you feeling all right?
00:42:59Oh, I feel fine, thank you.
00:43:01I've been watching you.
00:43:03You've made three errors this morning.
00:43:05Oh, minor ones, perhaps.
00:43:07But that sort of thing won't do.
00:43:08It just won't do at all.
00:43:10To be truthful, Mr. Mott, my mind's been on several things lately.
00:43:14I'm beginning to wonder if this job means as much to you as it did formerly.
00:43:19Well, it means a good deal to me, sir.
00:43:21I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I've stopped caring about it.
00:43:24You give me the impression that you need a rest.
00:43:27Quite an extensive one.
00:43:29You come back in 30 days' time, Tommy, and we'll talk this over.
00:43:33And perhaps, if you have less on your mind, we'll discuss resuming your employment.
00:43:39Oh, my God.
00:43:57Ah.
00:44:09Oh, my God.
00:44:14Wes.
00:44:16They know you're here.
00:44:18There was a stranger in the bank today.
00:44:19Big, mean-looking guy in a dark hat.
00:44:21He was a John Law for sure.
00:44:24He kept giving me the eye.
00:44:25Asked the bank guard who I was.
00:44:26What makes you think he was looking for me?
00:44:28I don't know, Wes. Just a hunch.
00:44:30But he was outside when I left, and he followed me here, I think.
00:44:32He followed you?
00:44:33Yeah.
00:44:43Is that him?
00:44:44Yeah.
00:45:03Where is this...
00:45:04Where's this...
00:45:35Wes, you open the door.
00:45:42Is this the Anderson home?
00:45:44Yes, it is.
00:45:45Is Tom Anderson here?
00:45:46It's all right, Ma.
00:45:47I know that voice.
00:45:49Are you cool?
00:45:50Wes, I thought you were dead.
00:45:51Outside of a stiff shoulder, I'm the healthiest dead man in these parts.
00:45:54Come on in.
00:45:57Ma, this is an old friend of mine, Cole Gardner.
00:45:59Pleased to meet you, Ms. Anderson.
00:46:00Happy, I'm sure.
00:46:01And this is my brother, Tom.
00:46:02Hello, Tom.
00:46:03Now, you just make yourself comfortable.
00:46:04I've got some coffee on the stove, and I'll get some for you.
00:46:09I understand you and Tom saw each other in the bank today.
00:46:11Yes, we did.
00:46:13Tom figured you were the law.
00:46:14He got a little nervous.
00:46:16We don't get many strangers in the bank.
00:46:18Sorry I had you picked so wrong.
00:46:20Well, all I can't say is to blame you.
00:46:22You know, Wes, in the old days, I remember when we were partners in business.
00:46:29You used to talk so much about your hometown.
00:46:31I recall you told me you had a kid brother working in a bank, so I thought I'd just mosey by and have a look at the place.
00:46:37And he's acting so nervous like, I figured something must be up, so I followed him home.
00:46:43I never thought I'd find you here, Wes, so help me.
00:46:46I hope this coffee isn't too strong.
00:46:50Here's some fresh cookies, too, that I just made.
00:46:52You know, Wes always liked to have something to snack on in the old days.
00:46:56Oh, there's nothing like homemade cookies and a good cup of coffee.
00:46:59That's right.
00:46:59I skipped my breakfast, too.
00:47:02Oh, Mr. Gardner, you'll stay and have supper with us, won't you?
00:47:06Well, yes, thank you, Ms. Anderson.
00:47:12You see what I mean, Wes?
00:47:15Here's the street, there's the bank, and there's the alley.
00:47:18Where do we leave the horses?
00:47:19Don't use any horses.
00:47:20You crazy?
00:47:21Well, we have the horses staked out up in the hills.
00:47:25We're going to use a horseless carriage.
00:47:26That gas buggy that's out in front of the bank all day.
00:47:28It belongs to Mr. Mott, the president of the bank.
00:47:30What a mobile, huh?
00:47:31I made some inquiry around town.
00:47:32I find out that there isn't another gas buggy within 100 miles.
00:47:36And if we can use this thing, we can gain two or three hours head start on any posse.
00:47:39Yeah, maybe more than that.
00:47:41But can you run one of those things?
00:47:42Oh, sure, there's nothing to it.
00:47:44What time does the president of the bank get there?
00:47:47I don't know, I can ask Tom.
00:47:48No, no, leave him out of it.
00:47:49Why, we can ask him a question, can't we?
00:47:51Tom!
00:47:53Tommy, come in here, will you?
00:47:54Coming.
00:47:59Tom, we were just talking about working at a bank.
00:48:02What times do your president usually get in in the mornings?
00:48:05Oh, last man in, about 9.30.
00:48:079.30.
00:48:08Well, that means that we'd have to be inside the bank.
00:48:10Cut it!
00:48:12That's all, Tom, but it's getting late.
00:48:13Why don't you go up to bed?
00:48:15Why don't you quit treating me like I'm a kid?
00:48:17I was listening.
00:48:18I know what you guys are fixing to do.
00:48:20I said go on up to bed.
00:48:22Wes, you know, we could use a third man for the door.
00:48:24No.
00:48:26Count me in.
00:48:27You've got no part of this, Tom.
00:48:29I don't know why you don't want to let him in on it.
00:48:31There's enough for everybody.
00:48:33Besides, that guard knows Tom,
00:48:35he'd open the door for him when he knocks.
00:48:36I don't want Tom in this.
00:48:37Do you understand?
00:48:39All right.
00:48:40Any way you like.
00:48:41You want some coffee?
00:48:42No.
00:48:43Wes, they fired me today.
00:48:46They fired you?
00:48:47Yeah, they fired me.
00:48:48But if they hadn't, I've been thinking about quitting for a long time.
00:48:51I got different ideas.
00:48:53And it's time for me to make a switch.
00:48:55You went after what you wanted, and I'm going after what I want.
00:48:58After this one job, I'll be through.
00:49:00I'll have mine.
00:49:01And I'll have enough to put a ring on Rella's finger.
00:49:03Rella wouldn't want a ring you got that way.
00:49:05She let me know that once, but I didn't have sense enough to listen.
00:49:08I'd like to see you do better.
00:49:09You and Rella, I'm sick of being reminded of that, too.
00:49:12This is where she can make her choice.
00:49:14There's nothing between Rella and me anymore.
00:49:16Nobody knows that better than you.
00:49:17Maybe.
00:49:19But this is where we'll find out for sure.
00:49:21If she's still got a hankering for you, we'll know.
00:49:23And if she's going to string along with me,
00:49:25it won't be because I'm the guy that stayed at home
00:49:27and worked in the bank every day from 9 to 5.
00:49:32All right, Tom.
00:49:33You're old enough to know what you're getting into.
00:49:35Nobody can say I didn't try to keep you out.
00:49:39How about some coffee?
00:49:57Come on.
00:50:24Come on.
00:50:25What is it, Wes? What happened?
00:50:33I wanted to talk to you.
00:50:35It's the same old carriage, isn't it?
00:50:37The one we sat in that time.
00:50:39Those other times.
00:50:42I don't know.
00:50:44Don't you ever think about the way you used to come over here, Rella?
00:50:46Wes, if you have anything to tell me, say it.
00:50:48I have to go back to the house.
00:50:50I've been thinking about those days a lot since I came home.
00:50:52Did you get me out here just to remind me of something I've already forgotten?
00:50:57You sure you've forgotten?
00:51:00I have to go.
00:51:01No.
00:51:03I came to tell you I can't go through with that deal we made about Tom.
00:51:09Oh, so that's it.
00:51:10I tried, but this is something he's doing on his own account.
00:51:13With a few suggestions from you.
00:51:15Tom has to make his own decisions.
00:51:17What is he going to do?
00:51:19A friend of mine, Cole Gardner, and I are planning something.
00:51:22Tom wants to come in on it.
00:51:24What is it?
00:51:26A job.
00:51:27A hold-up, you mean.
00:51:29Tom wants in.
00:51:30He says he's doing it for you.
00:51:31He wants to get enough money to marry you.
00:51:33Did you hear he got fired at the bank?
00:51:36No.
00:51:36Well, he did.
00:51:37That's why he's coming in.
00:51:40Doing it for me?
00:51:43Why...
00:51:43He'd just make everything we ever planned together completely impossible.
00:51:47If you were being honest with me and with him, you'd leave town before you'd let this happen.
00:51:52Wouldn't do any good.
00:51:53If I left town, he and Cole would go ahead without me.
00:51:59I felt this would happen.
00:52:00Now there won't be anywhere far enough for him to run to, or any place deep enough for him to hide in.
00:52:09We've got a spot.
00:52:10Perfect place.
00:52:11The canyon where you winter herded one year?
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:14We'll go there and hide out.
00:52:15You're wasting your time worrying about Tom, brother.
00:52:17He's got the bug now just the same as I had.
00:52:20If I could keep him out of this play, which I can't, he'd go ahead and find one of his own.
00:52:23Most likely get caught and maybe strung up.
00:52:25But you promised.
00:52:26I know.
00:52:29We made some promises in the old days, too.
00:52:31Do you remember?
00:52:34I don't remember anything.
00:52:38You remember the first time we came here?
00:52:41It was a hot night.
00:52:42Stifling.
00:52:44I brought you home from that dance over in the valley.
00:52:47You had that blue dress on.
00:52:48The one with the blue flowers on it.
00:52:51You came in here.
00:52:52No, no.
00:52:53It never happened.
00:52:54I think it did.
00:52:55It didn't.
00:52:55Yeah.
00:53:00Yeah.
00:53:01Yeah, that's the way it was.
00:53:03Only then you weren't so set on pushing me away.
00:53:11You're worse than that cat I killed up in the hills.
00:53:13Much worse.
00:53:14Only the cat was running away, but I'm not running.
00:53:16I think you are.
00:53:16Think whatever you like.
00:53:17Wait, Rella.
00:53:22You sure this is the way you want it?
00:53:23None of it is the way I want it.
00:53:25You lied to me, Wes.
00:53:27You gave me your word about Tom, but you didn't have the guts to keep it.
00:53:30I hate you, Wes.
00:53:31You and your wild ways and your false promises and your kisses.
00:53:35I could forgive you for myself, but for Tom, I won't forgive you.
00:53:38But I'll tell you this much.
00:53:39If anything happens to him, I'll have a badge pinned on myself, and I'll come after you.
00:53:43And I'll bring you back.
00:53:45Hi, Tom.
00:54:08Morning, Bill.
00:54:09Sure looks like it's going to be a hot day, don't it?
00:54:11Sure does.
00:54:11Good morning, Bob.
00:54:28Oh, good morning, Todd.
00:54:30Coming back to work?
00:54:31Sure, I am.
00:54:32Stay right there.
00:54:34There's a man in the cage.
00:54:35Get him out, Tom.
00:54:36Wilbur, step over here.
00:54:37Where's the janitor?
00:54:42He's sweeping in the back.
00:54:44Call him.
00:54:44Get him out here.
00:54:45George?
00:54:46Yes, sir?
00:54:47Will you come here, please?
00:54:53You stand over there, George.
00:54:55Keep quiet and you won't get hurt.
00:54:56Cole, maybe you and Wilbur ought to take a look at the vault.
00:54:58All right, Wilbur, come on.
00:55:00Come on.
00:55:00Come on.
00:55:00I'm afraid I forgot the combination.
00:55:11You better start to remember.
00:55:14Yeah.
00:55:16Keep your hands up.
00:55:20Good morning, Miss Luckwally.
00:55:22Good morning, Tom.
00:55:23How are you?
00:55:24Just step right over there and be quiet.
00:55:26You dirty feet!
00:55:28Be quiet, miss.
00:55:29Stay there.
00:55:37Here, hold this.
00:55:39Both hands.
00:55:48Good morning, Mr. Gilly.
00:55:49Good morning, Tom.
00:55:50How are you?
00:55:51I didn't know that...
00:55:51What?
00:55:55My heart is bad, gentlemen.
00:55:57May I take a pill?
00:56:00That's right, Wes.
00:56:00He takes pills all the time.
00:56:02It's all right, Gilmore.
00:56:03Where do you keep them?
00:56:04In my left waistcoat pocket.
00:56:10Everybody here now, Tom?
00:56:11Everybody but Mott.
00:56:12Yeah.
00:56:13Well, good morning, everybody.
00:56:36Well, good morning, everybody.
00:56:38Just keep walking. Stand over there.
00:56:57Come on!
00:57:06They killed him! Come on!
00:57:36You do solemnly swear to execute and uphold the laws of this county and state, and to see the true justice it's done.
00:57:57All right, men.
00:58:01I want to be deputized.
00:58:14Oh, now, we don't deputize ladies, Rella. The posse will catch those devils all right.
00:58:19That posse will be back tomorrow with saddle swords and alibis. Let's not waste time.
00:58:24All right, Rella. Raise your right hand.
00:58:27Do you take the oath to execute your duties to the best of your ability?
00:58:31I do.
00:58:35You're a deputy sheriff now, Rella.
00:58:37I think I know what's on your mind.
00:58:39Don't take any chances, but if you meet up with Wes Anderson, bring him back dead or alive.
00:58:57I think we know of them, of course.
00:58:59I have been an opposite.
00:59:00You follow, Ron?
00:59:01I won't talk.
00:59:02You don't even speak for this much.
00:59:03You don't look over here for Sheila Evers.
00:59:05It's getting colder.
00:59:33I want a drink.
00:59:34I told you I'm not drinking.
00:59:36Well, you might as well have one and quit thinking about that brother of yours.
00:59:40The man never knows when a bullet's got his name on it.
00:59:43Well, I sure put his name on the one he got.
00:59:46Well, he wanted to come in, didn't he?
00:59:49That's pretty good-looking meats you got there.
00:59:51Well, you wanted to do the cooking. Why don't you get at it?
00:59:53You figure I'm eating it raw.
00:59:55I ain't cooking for you.
00:59:57So let's just stop giving me any orders.
01:00:00Suit yourself. I'll cook my own.
01:00:03Maybe from now on, instead of sleeping, you can go and get your own meat.
01:00:07All right. You keep the meat and I'll keep the whiskey.
01:00:11Hey, that smells pretty good.
01:00:17I'll tell you what I'll do.
01:00:21I'll buy some of that from you.
01:00:23You'll buy it, huh?
01:00:24Sure, sure. I got plenty of dollars here.
01:00:27There's no reason why I can't spend a dollar or two for a piece of steak.
01:00:31Put it back, Cole.
01:00:33You telling me what to do with my own money?
01:00:36I said put it back.
01:00:38After we divide it, you can get your hands in there, not before.
01:00:45You're a rough man, ain't you?
01:00:47Just as rough as I have to be.
01:00:53All right. We'll divide it up after we eat.
01:00:55After who eats?
01:00:57Well, I told you I'd buy some of it, didn't I?
01:01:01All right. You can eat.
01:01:03But you better lay off that junk.
01:01:05All right.
01:01:32Well, it's $5,217...
01:01:3417 dollars apiece. Besides the security, it's not a bad day's work.
01:01:39Well, here's to the banking business. May it always prosper.
01:01:49How about you and me rolling little boss dice just to kill the time?
01:01:53I'm not a dice man. I play a little poker. Got a pack of cards?
01:01:57Yeah, I got one in the bunk.
01:02:04Get up.
01:02:16Turn your gun side to me.
01:02:24Hand me that saddle bag.
01:02:26What is this, Cole?
01:02:30I'm just going to make sure I get my money.
01:02:33And that goes for your end, too.
01:02:35I'll start filling it.
01:02:37And that goes for your end, too.
01:02:39I'll start filling it.
01:03:07What?
01:03:08I'll start filling it in.
01:03:09You're the one!
01:03:10I'll start filling it.
01:03:15Yeah, please.
01:03:16I just got a contact with him.
01:03:18You're Quindi, I'll go to my house.
01:03:20Well, you have to.
01:03:21You'll get some of that.
01:03:22Now you're doing.
01:03:23Go.
01:03:24Go!
01:03:25You're doing!
01:03:26You're doing.
01:03:27You're doing.
01:03:28You don't want to get one guy.
01:03:29You're doing.
01:03:30You're doing.
01:03:31You're doing.
01:03:32You're doing.
01:03:33You're doing that.
01:03:34Go!
01:03:35Let's go.
01:04:05Let's go.
01:04:35Let's go.
01:05:05Let's go.
01:05:35Let's go.
01:06:05Let's go.
01:06:35Let's go.
01:07:05Let's go.
01:07:35Let's go.
01:08:05Let's go.
01:08:35Let's go.
01:09:05Let's go.
01:09:35Let's go.
01:10:05Let's go.
01:10:35I don't want to repeat that experience, but I will.
01:10:38Believe me, I will if you try anything.
01:10:41Where's your saddle?
01:10:43On the shed.
01:10:44Let's get it.
01:10:45Runoff's over there.
01:10:52runoff is over.
01:10:56Runoff started.
01:10:57Runoff started.
01:10:58We may have trouble getting out through the falls.
01:11:00We'll find out when we get there.
01:11:02There's too much water coming over.
01:11:27We'll make it.
01:11:29What's your idea?
01:11:31To destroy both of us to make up for Tom?
01:11:33My idea is to take you in.
01:11:35Let's go.
01:11:59Let's go.
01:12:05Let's go.
01:12:07Let's go.
01:12:09Let's go.
01:12:11Let's go.
01:12:15Let's go.
01:12:17Let's go.
01:12:19Let's go.
01:12:21Let's go.
01:12:23Let's go.
01:12:25Let's go.
01:12:27Let's go.
01:12:29Let's go.
01:12:31Let's go.
01:12:33Let's go.
01:12:35Let's go.
01:12:37Let's go.
01:12:39Let's go.
01:12:41Let's go.
01:12:43Let's go.
01:12:45Let's go.
01:12:47Let's go.
01:12:49Let's go.
01:12:51Let's go.
01:12:53Let's go.
01:12:55Dad!
01:13:25Please.
01:13:44Sure you won't have some more venison?
01:13:46If I eat another mouthful, I'll grow antlers.
01:13:49I still can't figure out why you're doing all this.
01:13:57Just hospitality.
01:13:58You call on me and I cook for you.
01:14:01How did you get down that cliff without killing yourself?
01:14:04All I know, I was scared that I wouldn't get there in time.
01:14:08You were scared?
01:14:11Isn't that crazy?
01:14:12I pin a badge on myself and come hunting you.
01:14:15And then when I fell and you could have gone on and left me, you got scared.
01:14:19Do you know what they say about drowning people thinking about everything that ever happened to them?
01:14:24Well, it's true.
01:14:25I know because I did it.
01:14:27I lived a thousand years.
01:14:29And I found out a few things, especially about you and me.
01:14:32Such as what?
01:14:33Well, it was my fault you went moonlighting in the first place.
01:14:37Oh, yes, yes, it was.
01:14:39I made such a big job out of our love.
01:14:40Everything had to be perfect.
01:14:42I asked so much.
01:14:44Just having you wasn't enough.
01:14:45So, in the long run, you said the heck with me and the heck with everything, wasn't that it?
01:14:51I don't know.
01:14:53So long ago.
01:14:54Who knows why people do things?
01:14:57Do you know what I kept thinking while I was hanging on back there?
01:15:00I was hoping that you wouldn't come back.
01:15:05That you'd just go free and we'd never see each other again.
01:15:10I wanted the score between us to be even.
01:15:14You didn't want to owe me anything.
01:15:16Maybe you still hate me.
01:15:18I love you, Wes.
01:15:20I guess I always have.
01:15:22You know that.
01:15:22Well, I couldn't say this before.
01:15:32I was fighting the whole world personally.
01:15:34But I'm not anymore.
01:15:36When I saw you down there in that water, I realized how wrong I've been about everything.
01:15:40I knew that nothing mattered but you.
01:15:43I had to get to you in time.
01:15:45Look.
01:15:46I'm going to turn myself in.
01:15:48The money's in the saddlebags on Cole's horse.
01:15:50I'll take it with me when I surrender.
01:15:51And after I've served my sentence, maybe it won't be too long, but whatever it is,
01:15:56after I get out, maybe we can be together again.
01:15:59Oh, Wes.
01:16:02If you knew how long I've waited to hear you say that.
01:16:20All right.
01:16:21Well, we made it that time.
01:16:51Will we make it all the way?
01:16:53All the way, sweetheart.
01:16:54Nothing can stop us from now on.
01:16:55Well, we made it that time.
01:16:58THE END
01:17:28THE END
