02x10 - The Great Safe Robbery

[bunniefuu]

Well, here we are.

Oh, howdy, Lou.

Are you folks
gonna catch the 9:15?

Yeah.

Must've lost my charm.
Couldn't talk 'em into
staying any longer.

Oh, Lou, we couldn't
have had a nicer time
visiting you and Emma,

but we do have to get back.

-Train's gonna be
a half hour late.
-Oh, no!

Oh, Audra, Brady isn't
leaving until tonight.

-You'll be back
in plenty of time.
-[horse whinnies]

-Howdy, ma'am.
-Uh, what can I do for you?

We come a long way,
and we'd like to get
a drink of water.

Help yourself.
Water bucket's inside.

Thank you kindly.
Come on, Shorty.

Come on, Shorty.

There she is, Shorty,

just like I said.

Hey, Duke, what about
them people out there?

They ain't gonna
bother us none, Shorty.

Come on.

-What do you boys want?
-Just get that safe open
and won't nobody be hurt.

The safe? Oh, well,
I can't open that safe.

-I--
-[barrel clicking]

[c*ck r*fle]

Get inside there,
all of you.

Go on. hurry.

Get!

[r*fle fires]

You'd better get that shoe
fixed, young man, if you're
going to be a safe robber.

I tell you,
it just won't open.

You'd better not
lie to me, mister,

if you know
what's good for you.

No, they-they sent
this new one out, and
the combination just don't work.

Hey, you!
Shorty, you go get her!

Don't you get on that horse!
That saddle-- Hey, get off
there!

-You all right, miss?
-No, I'm not!


I tried to warn you
about that saddle. Here.

-And I don't need
any help from you!
-No call to act snippety.

Now you've broken
Duke's saddle.
Sure gonna make him mad.

You're gonna have to fix it
before that train gets in.

We got us a holdup going on.
You ain't gonna mess it up.

Go on.
Pick it up.

Go on.

Go on.

I tell you, mister,
this combination
just won't work.

I'm gonna count to 10,
and if that safe ain't open,

I'm gonna blow a hole
right through your vest button.

One, two, three--

I swear to Moses, mister, they
put the paper and the money from
the cattle shipment in here,

closed her up,
and now nobody can get it open.

Three, four, five--

They sent
all the way to St. Louis
for a new set of numbers.

Shut up!
Six, seven--

-Oh, put that thing away.
-You shut up and get back
over there where you belong!

-If you sh**t him, he never
can tell you the combination.
-But I don't know it.

When I get to 10,
I'm gonna blow the biggest
hole in you since Garberville.

-Now, you'd better
get that thing opened.
-Please, mister.

Please! I swear
I can't open this safe!

-There ain't a train due,
is there?
-Eight-- Huh?

There ain't a train due,
is there? This guy
keeps looking at his watch.

No, there ain't no train due.
I checked. There ain't
no train due for two hours.

Now, leave me alone
with my countin'. Seven--

Well, you checked wrong.
The train for Stockton
is overdue right now.

Why do you suppose
we're waiting here?

I said I checked,
and there ain't no train due.

[train whistle blowing
in distance]

Better make a run
for your horses.

You-You-You shut up
and stay out of my business.

What are-- What are we gonna
do, Duke?

Elwood, you take him
back there in that room
and lock him up.

And the rest of you,
stay right where you are.

You get back inside there.
Go on.

Go on.

You try signaling that train
or anything, and Elwood'll
sh**t you. You understand?

And I want you
to sit over there
on the bench with me.

-Mother, the train is--
-Yes, I know, dear.

Do you mind if my daughter
catches the train?
You can keep me here.

Yes, I do mind.
Shorty, take her in there
and shut her up.

-I'm not going
in that baggage room!
-Audra, do what he says.

Please, miss,
you don't understand.
You have to do what--

-Take your hands off me!
-Just do what he says.

-[shouts, indistinct]
-Let me out of here!
Who do you think you are?

You and you, don't try nothin',
'cause I'd just as soon
sh**t you as look at you!

Oh, no, I-I promise.

You know, you really
don't have to sh**t anyone.

I figured out how to check up
on that safe combination.

You don't be figurin' out
nothin' except
sit there and be quiet.

If they wrote to St. Louis about
the safe, there will be a copy
of the letter in the files.

-And what'll that prove?
-Well, it'll prove
he wasn't lying.

Hey, Duke, couldn't we just
make a run for it?

No! Get back in there
and be quiet!
We're stayin'.

Now, what good will that do
if you can't get the safe open?

-Hello, Henry.
-Hi.

-Did you know your fire barrel
had a hole in it?
-Oh, sure.

-Well, how many passengers
have you got?
-None.

None? Thought you were
gonna have passengers.

-You got the flag out.
-Oh, that was a mistake.

Uh, no passengers.
None at all.

Something wrong with you, Henry?

No.

Nothin' at all.

We're waitin'
for the southbound.

It won't be here
till this afternoon.

It's all right.
We'll wait.

Well, Henry,
we're behind schedule already.

Are you sure
you're feeling all right?

-Ain't got
the grip or somethin'?
-No, I'm perfectly all right.

Just fine.

Oh, uh, better get
that fire barrel fixed.

The superintendent
won't like it.

[whistle blowing]

-All right, now, mister,
you get that thing open.
-But I told ya--

Do you have a copy
of the letter you wrote
to St. Louis?

-Copy?
-You mind your own business!

If you wrote a letter,
there oughta be a copy of it
in the files.

-Oh, I-I never thought
of that--
-[door opens]


Hey, Duke.

-She bit my thumb.
-Can't you do anything right?

How come you let
her out of the sack?

-I didn't. Elwood did.
-Elwood!

-Hmm?
-Put her back in that sack!

-Oh, I did already.
-I've had enough of
this childish behavior!

Hey, you, get back in there!
Get back in there
where you belong!

-Hey, you two, you get in here!
-Here it is. He wasn't lying.

Bill of lading
and payment--

Shorty, come here.
Can you read all that?

Dear sir,

We have not been able

to get the safe open
on the numbers you sent.

See? I told ya!

Hey, Duke,
it says here

$3,000.

-$3,000.
-We didn't figure
but a couple hundred.

[both laughing]

See? I bet you boys'll
believe me now, won't you?

I told you everything's
gonna work out all right!

-You see? I told you.
-You still got
to get the safe open.

Look, do you really
wanna take this money?

It doesn't belong
to the railroad, you know.
It belongs to a lot of people.

-Payment for cattle shipments.
-Now, I'm a-tellin' you
for the last time, shut up!

Get yourself over there
on that bench and sit down,

and quit flappin' your jaw
every time I turn around!

Now--

Let's pull this thing
out here and see
what she looks like, boys.

Elwood, take him out back.
Get every tool he's got--

crowbars, sledgehammers, augers,
bracing bits, whatnot.

-Go on. Get, get, get!
-All right, I'm gettin'.

[laughing]
Come on, Shorty.

-One, two--
-VICTORIA: I don't think
you'll ever get it open.


I told ya and I told ya,

one more word--

And that's my final warnin'!

Get in!

Hey, how about the bottom?
Maybe we can bust it open
underneath.

Nope.
One of them there hinges
is the best place to hit it.

Did you jar it loose any?

No. It's gonna take
a couple more,
by doggies.

Hey, uh, let me
spell you off some.

I-I bet you're
gettin' it, Shorty.

You sure got the paint
bunged up.

Hey, you got
a little dent right there.

-[drops sledgehammer]
-Ooh! [groans]

[inhaling]

Making any progress?

Can't you sit somewhere's else?
You're gonna get yourself hurt.

Oh, I thought you were
going to k*ll me anyhow.

Shorty, go get that big hammer.
We're gonna try the rock drill.

I might point out the metal
in that safe is a lot harder
than the metal in the drill.

How'd you know that?

-My husband was in mining.
-Did he ever bust open a safe?

-No, of course not. But--
-Lady--

-I know. Shut up.
-That's right.


'Cause you don't know nothin'
about it then, do ya?

Elwood, you take him,
go get a rope
and some block and tackle.

We gonna turn her
upside down.

What are you doin' now?

Getting a sandwich
and some lemonade.

It's still cold.
Would you like some?

-No! We ain't hungry.
-Well, there's plenty.

Mrs. Johnson made more
than we could possibly eat.

We ain't got
no time for that!

Elwood, climb up there on that
safe and rig up that block
and tackle to them rafters.

Come on, now.
Hurry up.

-Audra, what are you doing?
-I'm gonna get this door opened!

Audra, I know how you feel,
but those are desperate men.

There's no telling
what they'll do
if we cross 'em.

I'm still gonna
get out of here.
Ouch!

What happened?

I broke my fingernail.

What kind of sandwiches
are they, ma'am?

Oh, ham,
and I think there's turkey.

He don't want one!

I don't think it's up
to you to decide whether
he wants a sandwich or not.

-Here.
-Sure do thank you, ma'am.

-We didn't have
no supper last night.
-You sure you don't want one?

All right, Elwood,
you clumb down now.

Now, get a hold.
We got to hoister up this

so we can get her high enough
to tipple her over.

-[straining]
-Come on, pull.


Steady now.
Pull harder--

Shorty, don't stand there
stuffin' your face!
Get over here and help out!

Mmm!

All right, now,
on three! Heave!

Heave!

Heave!

Heave!

We've got to get a swing
on her, or I can't
tip her over. Heave!

-Don't you think
you'd better give up?
-No, I'm not givin' up!

And I'm not leavin' here
until we get this $3,000!

Hominy, grits and sowbelly
ain't the only thing
in this world.

I'm gonna get my share.
I want you to understand that.

Uh, boys?

I-I don't wanna
get you mad or nothin',

but, uh, well,
when that southbound
pulls in here,

somebody's gonna notice
that something's,
well, not right.

Elwood, get the horses.

We gonna leave, Duke?

Shorty, if you want to leave,
you get!

But don't you never
come back.

When our daddy died,
he had five cents--

five cents-- in an old
tobacco can.

And I'm gonna have
more than that
for me and my kin.

All right, Duke.

You come over here
and help me out
with them ropes now.

Well-Well, now,
I don't think
I oughta help you.

Well, I mean,
in my position,

I'm supposed to prevent you
from what you're doin',
not help you.

You're--

There, by doggies.
That'll keep you
out of my hair.

Oh!

What are we gonna do, Duke?

Get over there
and get the wagon, Shorty.

[muttering]

Uh, do you mind if I ask you
what you're doing now?

Yes, I do mind!
You go in there and bring
me back two of them sandwiches.

But I thought you said
you weren't hungry.

And how would you like
to be knocked clear
into next Tuesday?

And don't think
I won't do 'er either.

He sure will, ma'am.
I promise you that.

Would you mind
if I let my daughter
and Mr. Johnson

out of the baggage room
and got them something to eat?

-No!
-Oh, I promise you,
Audra won't make any trouble.

Well, she'd better not.

-Audra, Lou.
-Mother!

-You both all right?
-We're fine.

-If they try to put that sack--
-I promised them you would be
quiet, Audra.

-What are you doing?
-Getting them something to eat.

-You're feeding them?
-Audra, A man is less likely
to k*ll if his stomach is full.

Besides,
I'm trying to get help.

What good's this
gonna do us, Duke?

A team of horses
can't pull no door
off no safe.

We're gonna slide it
through that door,

slide it across the porch
and onto the wagon.

Then we gonna
haul it off with us.

Duke, I sure gotta
hand it to you.
You ain't never stumped.

-You figure a thing out.
-Well, ain't you the one
to say so?

Shorty, you go in there
and pry up on that safe
one of them rafters.

[grunting]
Good, huh?

One ham, one turkey.
Would you like some
watermelon? Pickles?

-No!
-I wouldn't wanna get
knocked into next Tuesday.

Woman, you just better
stay clean out of my way.

I don't think that door
is going to be wide enough
for the safe to get through.

Hey, help me with this.

I'm not gonna help you
steal that money.

You help me with this,
or I'll hit you
with this rock drill.

You think I like
doing this?

Duke gets some of
the dang-blasted notions
a man ever just get--

There.
Tried stealing cattle
in New Mexico,

and every one of them
skinny critters
had hoof-and-mouth disease.

Dug six months for gold.
All we got was $14.

-Fourteen dollars.
-DUKE: Shorty!


When I holler,
give her all you got!

Got ya, Duke!

I'm sorry, but it's not
gonna fit through that door.

-[yells]
-Heave!

You sure got her outside,
all right.

But, uh, how you gonna
get her in the wagon?

You got any dynamite?

Dynamite?
What would I be doin'
with dynamite?

-I guess this is
the train she meant.
-It's got to be.

The next one's
not till 8:00.

Conductor,
did you make a stop
at Bigsby Flats?

-Yeah, sure did.
-Did you pick up
any passengers there?

-Nope.
-There wasn't anyone
there at all?

-A woman and her daughter?
-A lady waiting
for the southbound.

-A man with her, no daughter.
-Oh.

They must've
missed the train
or changed their mind.

Nice-lookin' lady,
sort of well-dressed?

Yep, waitin' for the southbound.

Was there a young girl
with her-- a blonde?

Nope.
Just an ornery-looking man
wearin' buckskin pants.

-The lady had silver hair,
wore it up kind of like--
-Yep. All aboard!

-That was Bigsby Flats?
-Yep.

Bigsby Flats.

Telegrapher, I'd like
to send a telegraph
to Bigsby Flats.

-The station agent.
-Bigsby Flats.

That station hasn't
answered anything for,
oh, the last two hours.

-Are the lines down?
-Couldn't be.

The next station south
is getting through all right.

We had some funny
signals there for a while,
but now, nothing.

-Would you try it again?
-All right.

Won't do any good.

[clicking]

[muttering]
All the gabbin' with
that flaxen-haired woman--

I thought you ladies
might get hungry.

Are you sure
this makes sense, Duke?

Well, we gotta get her open,
ain't we? And there ain't
no dynamite here.

Therefore,
that old mining shack
we camped at is our only chance.

There's dynamite there,
and there ain't nobody
around to look on us.

But do we need
to take them along?

There ain't gonna be nobody
a-shootin' at us as long as
they're sittin' in the wagon.

Robbery is five years in
prison, and kidnapping is 50.

-I-I just thought
I'd mention it.
-When I want you--

What makes you think
you can get away with this?
Somebody's bound to get--

Shorty, go inside
and bring me back
a mail sack.

Oh, I-I don't think
that will be necessary.

Shorty,
bring back two.

Two?

There's one thing
I can't stand,
it's a gabbity woman.

Go get on Lulu!

Whoa, Lulu. Whoa.
Whoa, Lulu. Lulu--

There. By doggies,
that oughta do her.

She'll glide along
like a feather in a lake.

You reckon the law'll
be followin' us, Elwood?

Like fleas to a dog, Shorty.

What was it
Pa used to say
about a bear fight?

Oh. There ain't no way
to quit once you start.

Just keep clawin'
till one of the other of ya
is chewed up.

[chuckles]
That's us and that safe.

I see you, you and Shorty
runnin' off at the mouth.
Come on!

Look, miss, you'll be home
by tomorrow sure.

Tomorrow happens to be
too late.

-SHORTY:
-Somethin' special going on?
Very special.


Boyfriend, I suppose.

Well, you can see him
the next day.

He'll be gone by then.

I'm sorry.

Well, if you're so sorry,
then why don't you
let us go?

Shorty, you shut up that talkin'
and watch back there,
see if we're tailed.

I thought she might have
somethin' special goin' on

like an uncle was gonna die
or somethin'.

Or she was gonna
get married or somethin'.

Brady Mosher
passed the examinations
for West Point.

The whole town's
giving him a send-off.

I was gonna
join the army once.

Fourth Cavalry.
Pays $13 a month.

He'll be an officer.

What are you doin'?
You're makin' it tighter!

Well, if you'll hold still
a minute, maybe
I could get somethin' done!

[telegraph tapping]

What'd they say?
Help comin'?

No. They're just telling me
I'm fired if I don't answer
and tend to business.

Come on!

Whoa! Whoa!

Shorty,

get me some rocks,
and I want you to make
a pile right over there.

-Sure, Duke.
-What are you doing?

Just shut up!

I wanna leave a note.
Can you write?

-Of course she can.
-Don't get smart, lady!

-There ain't no
of course to it.
-Yes, I can.

Then I want you
to write what I tell you
on this piece of paper.

You write, uh-- Stop here.


Will be turned loose

when the money
is got out of the safe.

How do you spell got?

Shut up and write!

They'll k*ll us,
but we ain't hurt now.

And you sign
both your names to that.
Elwood, come over here.

They're gonna follow us
for sure.

You take this here r*fle
and get up there on them rocks.

If this note don't work,
you sh**t, and you sh**t good.

That's real good, Shorty.

Right there in the middle
of the trail. They'll have
to stumble over 'em.

Duke, can I talk to you
for a minute?

Sure. Go ahead.

No, I-I mean
sort of private.

You ain't gettin'
no notions, are you, Shorty?

This ain't
no notion, Duke.

I wanna
ask you something.

-Well?
-About where to put this.

Duke, we ain't going to--

You wouldn't sh**t
them women, would you?

Took 'em both and said
we'd better not follow.

He'd better not plan
on doin' any
wild shootin' either.

He's a railroad detective,
and it's their money.

All right,
railroad detective,
let's go.

Very well, gentlemen.

They sure made
a mess.

Some people never can do
nothin' neat!

Whoa!

Dynamite's in that shack
right over there, Shorty.

-Mr. Duke?
-What?

-Would you please untie us?
-No.

We're nothing to be afraid of,
and I promise you
we won't run away.

Well, all right.

You start gettin' gabby--
You understand?

Mm-hmm.

You keep an eye on 'em,
Shorty, and untie 'em.

I'm gonna get that dynamite.

Listen, I wouldn't have had
nothin' to do with this,
only Duke wanted to.

Well, you don't need
to explain to me.

I guess anyone has the right
to be a thief and a m*rder*r
if they wanna be.

I-I ain't a thief
and m*rder*r.

Oh. Well, I suppose
you're just borrowing
that safe over there.

-Well, I ain't m*rder*d anybody.
-Don't tell me.

You'd sh**t us in cold blood
just as soon as look at us.

All in the name of
heavenly tarnation we wanted
to get out of that safe

was $400 or $500

so we could get us
out of this country
and buy us a little ranch.

Here it is, Shorty!
There she is-- the dynamite!

Watch it!

-No harm done.
-These are the caps,
the ones that blow up.

-I know that.
-Mr. Duke, I don't wanna
tell you your business--

-Don't call me mister!
-All right. Duke.

But if you jar these caps,
they'll blow up.

That sets off the dynamite.
That's the whole idea.

-How do you know that?
-Oh, believe me.
Take my word for it.

Now, if you take
some of these caps
and attach them to--

I just bet you that
you want to go in partnerships
with us, don't you,

-and get some of our money?
-No, no.


I'm just trying to get home
without being blown up.

Yeah, I'll bet you that.

Uppity woman, you ain't
outfigurin' me!

Shorty,

after I untie that safe,
I want you to take this team
over there to the shack,

and take that
gabby woman with you.

You untie
on that rope there.

Shorty! You, Shorty,
quit lollygaggin' with that
woman and haul off that wagon!

Got ya, Duke!
Get along, ma'am.

Come on.

Give me them caps.

Oh, Duke, this is nonsense.
You don't know
what you're doing.

-You're going to blow us all--
-$3,000 ain't no nonsense!


No, it's money,
but it's only money.

Only money?
Well, I guess you wasn't
never poor, was you?

Oh, yes, I was, Duke.
Yes, I was.

But I know
what you're doing here
doesn't make any sense!

Yeah? Well,
me and Elwood and Shorty

are goin' down to Mexico
and get us a ranch.

And that'll be it.
We're gonna get us
a horse ranch,

and we ain't gonna worry
no more about nothin'.

You're like someone
who believes in Santa Claus.

Life just doesn't
work out that way, Duke.

-[grunts] You--
-Oh, for heaven's sake!

You're going to
blow us all up.
Come on, now. Wait.

Put this back. Come on.
Gently, gently, gently.

Now, give me
a length of fuse.

Duke got that leg
shot up in the w*r.

He's been ornery
ever since.

I never thought I'd live
to see the day my mother
was blowing up a safe.

Now, bring the rest
of the dynamite.

All right,
give me a match.

I thought you said
you knew all about dynamite!

There weren't enough there,
ya know-it-all gabby woman!

Duke!

You're not gonna use
all of that, are you?

Yes, I'm a-gonna
use all of it!

-Now, shut up, go over there
and leave me alone!
-All right, all right.

-I won't say another word.
-That'll be the day when a gabby
woman can keep her mouth shut!

Duke, why don't you let us go?
You know, kidnapping
is a lot more serious.

I said shut up,
get out of here and
leave me alone right now!

Oh!

Shorty, robbing people isn't
the only way a man can make
something of himself, is it?

Look, I didn't rob you,
so what you hollerin' about?

The railroad don't matter.
It's got all the money anyhow.

But what about
what happens to you?
Does that matter?

I'll get along
all right.

Well, what happens
if you're caught
and sent to prison?

Well, what's that to you?
I don't make
any difference to you.

Shorty, people make themselves
what they are.

If a man has clean clothes
and a job

and learns to act decent,
well, then he's as good
as anybody else.

-How didn't I act decent?
-Well, is threatening
to sh**t women decent?

Look, nobody's gonna sh**t you.
And if anybody did--

I mean, if anybody looked
at you that way, I'd--

You could become
whatever you wanted to be.

You could get a job,
get married and have a family.

Nobody'd ever
wanna marry me.

Why, I think they would.

What if this don't
blow her open, Duke?

Don't you start on me, boy.

There ain't no ifs
about it.

I'm a-gonna get that money
out of that safe

if it's the last
mortal thing I do.

Oh!

Them ladies are sure
fine people, Duke.

-What's that got to do with it?
-Nothin'.


-I just thought I'd say it.
-Well, you said it.

Audra, they're going to use
an awful lot of dynamite.

We'd better get
behind the shack.

You'd better let
me do that, Duke.

-That's a short fuse.
We gonna have to run.
-I can run.


Don't be a hardhead.

[both laughing]

[laughter continues]

Shorty,
go get the wagon.

Any way you look at it,

robbin' safes ain't easy.

That's Audra's hat.

-That looks like
Mother's writing.
-Money is got out of the safe.

Money is got
out of the safe.
She wouldn't say it like that.

-They told her what to write.
-Let's try her out.

I'll tell you,
there's a lot of money
in that safe.

$3,000. I'd give 'em
$3,000 right now if they turned
Mother and Audra loose.

What, and let those men
get away with robbery?

Besides,
there's $20,000 in that safe.

The station agent
said 3,000.

Well, I'm telling you


It was a special shipment.
Railroad business.

They must have a lookout
posted somewhere in those rocks.

Think I'll take a walk
up there.

Maybe they might talk
if I take off my g*ns.

I'll go with you.

You can keep the money!
Turn the women loose!

[r*fle shot]

-Where'd that shot come from?
-Somewhere up there.

-You're not gonna let
that stop you, are you?
-That's right.

Nobody else is goin'
bustin' up there
shootin' either.

The money in that safe ain't
the reason we're here, mister.
That's only paper.

Paper?
That's railroad money.
Speak for what's your own.

I am! Somewhere up there
is our mother and our sister.

[clicking]

Duke, you've been at that thing
for an hour now.

You got any better ideas?

Duke, it's not too late
to change your mind.
Get on your horses and ride out.

-You'd like that, wouldn't ya?
-There are thousands
of possible combinations.

Now, you'll be here a month,
and I don't think Elwood can
hold off those men that long.

Duke, you ain't never
gonna get that thing open.
Why don't we do what she says?

-Shut up!
-I'll go get Elwood.
We can get out of here.

Shut up!
I'm a-gonna get that money
out of this here safe

if I have to die tryin',
and I don't mind
tellin' ya

I wouldn't mind
a-killin' somebody
along with it!

I ain't been nothin',
I ain't nothin', but I ain't
gonna be nothin' no more!

You, Shorty, come here!

Go ahead, sh**t me, Duke.
I don't care.

You need the combination.
Send Audra down for it.
You can keep me here.

You'd love to get her
out of here, wouldn't ya?

That's right. But she'll
bring back the combination,
and then you set us free.

-Mother, I'm not gonna go
and leave you here alone.
-You'll do what the Duke says.

Good!
Then I'll get rid of you,

ya flaxen-haired,
all-mouth woman!

I'm plumb wore out
of tyin' you up. And you
can tell 'em down there

that I'm gonna
sh**t your ma if they
don't do what I say!

Audra, you tell them
I'm all right, but they have
to help us get the safe open.

Tell them if they don't,
that the Duke is just
mean enough to--

-Well, you convince them.
-Don't need no convincing.

Oh, Duke is not really mean.
He's just stubborn.

And if you
used that stubbornness
in the right direction,

you'd be the richest man
in three counties.

Audra, get going.

And you tell 'em down there
you better come back
by yourself.

[muttering, indistinct]
Ya dag-nab--

[g*nf*re echoing]

Hey, where are you goin'?

It's Audra.
Audra!

Audra.

-Is Mother all right?
-Yes, she's all right.

And they won't hurt her
if she can get them

the combination to the safe.
so they can get the money.

We'll get it,
don't worry about that.

You mean the
safe hasn't been opened?

The money's still there?

They promised to let her go
if I bring back the combination.

If you bring it back?
No, no, no.
We're gonna bring it back.

No, Nick, I have to.
That's what they said.

I'm not authorized to give
the combination to anyone.

You mean you got
the combination with you?

I have no authorization
to give it to you
or anyone else.

-Hand it over!
-But I can't do that.
You see, I have no--

But you-you can't do that!
You'll be helping 'em
get away with the money!

One turn left to 17,
back one turn to 24,
three turns left to six.

You'll be as guilty
as they are.

And you'll be guilty of m*rder
if those women don't come back!

-All right, we got it.
Let's go.
-No. They said me.

And I don't want anything
to go wrong.

All right.

I'll be back
in a little while.

What in thunder
are you doin'?

Are you gettin' ready
to go to church or somethin'?

Nope. I just hate
to let myself get run-down
in my appearance.

DUKE:
There ain't nothin' wrong
with the way you look.

For a saddle bum,
not for decent people.

Like girls
or somebody like that.

Shorty, it doesn't matter
how a man looks.
It's what he is.

People look at me
like I was dirt.
Always have.

You know, Shorty,

deep down, I think
you're a very decent person.

You're just sayin' that
'cause you wanna get away.
But I know different.

Duke won't let us go.

Shorty,
want a piece of cake?

Yeah.

How about you, Duke?
Want a piece of cake?

-No!
-Well, it's chocolate.

I don't care what--

Now, Duke,
I know how to use this.

Yes, ma'am,
I just bet you you do.

Shorty-- Pick up
that shotgun, Shorty.

Now, ma'am,
if you turn around,
I'll get ya.

If you don't, Shorty will.

Shorty, get on your horse
and ride out.

The whole thing
isn't worth it.

Shorty-- Pick up that shotgun,
Shorty.

Duke, there ain't no sense
goin' on with this.

Shorty, you'd better do
what I tell ya.

-I ain't gonna sh**t no woman.
-Well, what do you want
her to do, sh**t me?

Let me go, that's all I ask.
Then you can do
anything you want.

Please, Duke.

Shorty, if they come up here
a-lookin' for her

and she ain't around,
they're goin' to g*n us down.

Mother!

Mother!

-Mother!
-I'm all right, dear.
I'm all right.

We ain't the kind of people
that does that

or wants it,
any of it.

And if you do,

you ain't my brother.

I'll go get Elwood,
and we'll get goin'.

I can't tell you how much
I'm deep and mortally ashamed.

Shorty,
here's your combination.

Good-bye, ma'am.

[hoofbeats approaching]

Whoa!

-Is she all right?
-Just fine. Just fine.

-They following ya?
-No, they're gone.

-They didn't get it open,
did they?
-No.

-And here's your combination.
-Oh, thank you.

Seventeen left.

Right 24!

[sighs, grunts]

Left--

All right.
Help me get this
blame thing on the wagon!

We'll take it back
to the station.

I'll get it open
if I have to use dynamite!
