West of the Divide

en
00:01:10 Does it look familiar, son?
00:01:14 I remember that ridge over there.
00:01:16 Yeah. Cowhands ride over there in that big gap.
00:01:20 You know, it was right around here where
00:01:25 You was more dead than alive.
00:01:28 I'll never forget that night, Dusty.
00:01:31 Flash o' guns, shouts o' murdering men...
00:01:36 And the courage of my dad.
00:01:38 Shielding me and fighting a hopeless fight.
00:01:42 Riddled with bullets, he fell across me, whispering...
00:01:46 'Lay still, Ted boy. They'll think you're dead.'
00:01:52 He didn't know I had a slug through my lung.
00:01:55 Well, when they rode up, somebody lit a match.
00:02:00 And I laid still.
00:02:02 And I heard somebody say, 'They got 'em both.'
00:02:06 And the match died out.
00:02:09 And then somebody laughed.
00:02:12 I'll never forget that laugh, Dusty.
00:02:16 A killer.
00:02:20 Well, the next thing I knew, it was morning.
00:02:24 I was in your arms.
00:02:26 Yep, and I carried you all the way to Big Bend.
00:02:31 For two years, I didn't know whether you was
00:02:35 But you sure pulled through alright.
00:02:37 If we could just find some trace of my
00:02:40 Well, it's doubtful.
00:02:43 We did learn, however, that your dad
00:02:46 I remember... a woman did the
00:02:51 you see, Dusty, my mother died when Jim was born.
00:02:56 And he's the only relative I have.
00:02:59 If he's alive.
00:03:00 That hired man and his wife disappeared.
00:03:03 We couldn't find hide nor hair of 'em.
00:03:06 Finally, there was a feller that moved on
00:03:11 Let's see... What was his name?
00:03:14 Gentry, that's it! Gentry.
00:03:16 But he didn't know nothing.
00:03:19 Anyway, it ain't gonna do you no good living
00:03:22 We'll be in town tomorrow and we'll start
00:03:33 Hey, Dusty.
00:03:50 Poison!
00:03:53 Water hole.
00:03:56 I didn't know.
00:04:31 I wonder who he is.
00:04:33 We better open it.
00:04:44 'Hello, Gentry.
00:04:47 This'll introduce Gat Ganns.
00:04:49 He's just the man for the job you mentioned.
00:04:52 Sorry I can't do it, but I got a couple of
00:04:57 Gat's plenty tough, as this enclosed poster will prove.
00:05:01 Good luck, Bill.'
00:05:04 Gentry.
00:05:07 Gentry!
00:05:08 He's evidently planning to kill him.
00:05:10 Well, that's the fella that's got your dad's ranch!
00:05:29 Certainly is funny, but you sure do resemble
00:05:36 Maybe fate's kinda taken a hand in this deal, Dusty.
00:05:39 Maybe so.
00:05:41 We don't know what this Gentry's up to, but...
00:05:44 We're gonna find out.
00:05:45 What do you mean?
00:05:46 I mean that from now on, I'm Gat Ganns.
00:05:52 Murderer.
00:05:57 Gentry, my daughter and I have considered
00:06:01 And have decided not to sell.
00:06:03 We've developed the best spring in the country.
00:06:06 And someday I hope to make this a fine ranch.
00:06:11 I'll admit it's dry wire, Mr. Winters,
00:06:15 However, this country is still wild, and rustlers are pretty numerous.
00:06:20 That's why I have sold half the herd.
00:06:22 And we're going to sell the other half next week.
00:06:37 - Excuse me just a moment, Mr. Gentry.
00:06:47 - Everything check up alright, Mr. Hornsby?
00:06:50 They're on their way.
00:06:57 I think you'll find that's right, Ms. Winters.
00:07:05 That's quite right. Thank you so much,
00:07:08 Too late for the bank now, Dad. I'll have
00:07:12 I've got some two-year-olds I'd like
00:07:14 Alright!
00:07:20 - How do you do, Mr. Gentry?
00:07:24 Your father told me that you decided not to sell.
00:07:26 That's right. We're quite happy here, and
00:07:32 So why shouldn't we keep it?
00:07:33 Well, if you're happy here, that's all that matters.
00:07:40 As your neighbor, may I be permitted
00:07:43 Why, of course. Dad and I will be delighted
00:07:46 - Thank you. Goodbye.
00:08:19 - Good morning.
00:08:21 - Hello.
00:08:23 Well, Winters refuses to sell.
00:08:26 - Oh, yeah?
00:08:28 I'll ruin him.
00:08:30 The Winters girl's leaving the ranch
00:08:34 Now, Joe and Hank, I want you to get it.
00:08:37 But remember, no harm must come to her.
00:08:40 I'll own that ranch no matter what it costs!
00:08:48 - There you are, honey.
00:08:53 Be careful!
00:10:11 If you hadn't have missed her, I'd have got her.
00:10:13 Well, it ain't too late yet.
00:11:35 - Can't get her now.
00:11:39 We never had her, you lassoed fool!
00:11:58 Drop that gun! Are you going crazy?
00:12:21 Cool down, now, before I go try it,
00:12:26 Come on, get in your saddle. We gotta go tell
00:12:49 Them fellers is sure in a hurry.
00:13:15 Well, I reckon it's deserted.
00:13:18 We can camp here temporarily.
00:13:39 Dusty, come here.
00:13:49 Blood.
00:13:56 Hey, son. Get up here, quick!
00:14:11 Hey, son.
00:14:13 Bullet holes.
00:14:22 Fay Winters. It's mighty curious, Dusty.
00:14:26 We've gotta hurry and get her to town.
00:14:28 Let's take it easy now, son.
00:14:34 Got her here just in time.
00:14:36 A small artery's been severed.
00:14:38 However, I don't think it's very serious.
00:14:40 How did this happen?
00:14:42 Don't know. We found her just outside of town.
00:14:45 A horse must have thrown her.
00:14:48 We left our pack running loose.
00:14:50 I reckon we better get going.
00:14:52 - Yeah, we may be back later.
00:14:56 I know the young lady'll be very grateful.
00:14:58 You've probably saved her life.
00:15:06 Now, listen, I hadn't better be seen around here,
00:15:11 - And I'll meet you at the shack.
00:15:15 I'll tell you, boss, we couldn't catch her.
00:15:17 She just outrode us, that's all.
00:15:20 Well, I got another plan.
00:15:22 Get back to the hideout. I'll see you tonight.
00:15:30 Hello, Winters? This is Dr. Silsby.
00:15:33 Your daughter wanted me to tell you
00:15:37 She's met with a slight accident.
00:15:39 No, not serious. I'll bring her out to the ranch a little later.
00:15:44 Thank you.
00:15:50 Who were the men that brought me in, Dr. Silsby?
00:15:53 They said they were prospectors.
00:15:55 It's lucky they found you.
00:15:57 A small artery has been severed.
00:15:59 And eventually, you may have bled to death.
00:16:02 As it is, the way you are, nobody'll ever
00:16:06 I certainly am grateful, but did they say anything about money?
00:16:11 Not a word.
00:16:13 I had three thousand dollars on me to deposit.
00:16:16 And it's gone.
00:16:17 Three thousand!
00:16:27 Your name Gentry?
00:16:28 Yeah, I'm Gentry.
00:16:30 We're from the border. Bill said to give you this.
00:16:33 He'd have come himself but he had a couple of
00:16:51 So, you're Gat Ganns, eh?
00:16:53 That's what they call me.
00:16:55 - And this is my friend, Dusty.
00:16:58 - Howdy.
00:17:01 Bill tell you what I wanted?
00:17:02 No, he just said there was gonna be some
00:17:06 How much do you want for the job?
00:17:09 What's the job?
00:17:11 There's a fella I wanna have disappear.
00:17:14 Well, whatever you're gonna give Bill'll be okay
00:17:17 - Eh, Dusty?
00:17:20 Alright.
00:17:22 I'll take you over to meet the boys.
00:17:53 - Hello, Mr. Gentry!
00:17:56 - Where's your dad?
00:17:59 - Where are the boys?
00:18:01 Hey! Spuds! Spuds, get in here and get to work!
00:18:05 Hey, Spuds!
00:18:08 Oh, hello, boss.
00:18:13 Hey, Butch. I want you to meet Gat Ganns,
00:18:17 - Hiya, boys.
00:18:19 These boys have joined up with us for a while.
00:18:30 Come on, I want you to meet the rest of the boys.
00:18:39 Get in there! Get in there and get to work!
00:18:46 Hey, boys.
00:18:47 This is Gat Ganns, and his friend Dusty.
00:18:51 They're gonna be with us for a while.
00:18:53 I've got a little job to do tomorrow night.
00:18:55 You boys are taking all of Winters' cattle.
00:18:58 Taking 'em through the passe into Round Valley.
00:19:01 There's plenty of feed there. We'll dispose o' them later.
00:19:05 You boys can watch the house.
00:19:08 Winters'll be sure to come out when he hears
00:19:11 Now, he's the man you want and you know
00:19:15 Be sure it isn't the girl.
00:19:17 We're leaving about midnight.
00:19:20 Hank, show the boys to the sleeping quarters.
00:19:40 We're out of provisions, chief.
00:19:42 Yeah, well, here's fifty bucks.
00:19:44 And by the way, Butch. We're taking Winters' cattle
00:19:48 - I'll be there, chief.
00:19:52 - I'm riding back with you, Gentry, to get my pack.
00:20:07 Hey, Spuds!
00:20:09 Come out here.
00:20:11 Tell the boys to hitch up the horses.
00:20:25 - Thanks.
00:20:28 Just stubborn. I've tried to buy the ranch for
00:20:33 Hasn't he any relatives?
00:20:35 A daughter.
00:20:36 I'm taking her along with the ranch.
00:20:38 Oh, I see! Like a dime novel.
00:20:41 We eliminate the old gent. You marry the gal and
00:20:45 You guessed it.
00:20:50 Go the way you always go. Don't ask any
00:20:54 And if you ain't back by dark, I'll tan you good.
00:20:57 - Get going!
00:21:22 Won't you come in, Dr. Silsby?
00:21:24 No, thank you. I got to be getting back.
00:21:27 - Well, thanks for the lift.
00:21:33 Oh, Dad!
00:21:35 I lost the money!
00:21:37 Nevermind the money, dear. It's you I was worried
00:21:40 We've got the rest of the herd to sell. That'll carry
00:21:44 But tell me, Fay. What in the world happened?
00:21:47 Well, you see, there was two men that followed
00:21:51 And that's the last thing I remember.
00:21:55 I don't know. Doc said they were a couple of prospectors.
00:24:00 Well, fella, we sure had some ride, didn't we?
00:24:14 Come on, son. Let's go sit down and kinda pull
00:24:26 I knowed you was gonna get me when
00:24:30 Oh, don't worry, Spuds. We're alright.
00:24:33 You're safe.
00:24:35 I know. But that's not what I'm thinkin' about.
00:24:38 I'm thinkin' o' what's gonna happen to me when I get back.
00:24:41 Butch'll beat me.
00:24:42 Oh, I'll have something to say about that.
00:24:44 You can't stop him. No one can. They have tried it.
00:24:48 Well, I'll get your provisions and then go back
00:24:51 Don't worry. Your dad isn't gonna whip you.
00:25:16 Now, I was beginning to think I'd have to come in
00:25:24 Where are the buckboards? What happened?
00:25:26 The horses got scared. I managed to stop them,
00:25:30 What about the provisions?
00:25:32 They're in my pack.
00:25:34 Here's your change.
00:25:37 Get in the house.
00:25:41 I told 'em that kid couldn't hold them horses.
00:25:45 I've seen that fella someplace before, Dusty.
00:25:48 But I can't think where.
00:25:54 I couldn't help it, I swear! I tell you, I couldn't!
00:26:02 - I'll tan you good --
00:26:05 - I'll take care of --
00:26:15 I've'd licked the rest of 'em.
00:26:17 Now I reckon it's just --
00:26:37 Come on, Ted!
00:27:16 You ever whip that kid again,
00:27:19 Oh. Alright, then. Let me go.
00:27:30 He won't whip you again, Spuds.
00:27:32 You're the only friend I've got.
00:27:34 Gee, you can fight!
00:27:35 I'm gonna bet you busted his gizzards!
00:27:43 Gentry sent word that no one was to leave
00:27:46 And tonight's the night we're supposed
00:27:48 How we gonna warn him?
00:27:49 Well, the only chance we got's when we get there.
00:27:56 Move over to the house from here.
00:27:57 But, remember. Don't mistake the girl for the man.
00:28:00 I'll get the boys started on the drive.
00:28:10 Gimme your knife, Dusty.
00:30:00 - What's wrong, Fay?
00:30:06 Look!
00:30:08 This just came through the window.
00:30:12 Why, it's our bank book!
00:30:15 The lost money has been deposited!
00:30:23 'Don't come... Don't strike a light.
00:30:26 They're waiting to shoot you down.
00:30:28 Your life's worth more than your cattle.
00:30:30 Let them take them. A Friend.'
00:30:34 They're stealing our cattle.
00:30:35 - I can't let --
00:30:37 Don't you understand?
00:30:38 They're waiting out there for you.
00:31:41 I saw the flash of a light.
00:31:43 I'm sure they got the note.
00:31:54 I don't think there's anybody home!
00:31:57 Well, that's mighty strange.
00:32:06 They're gone.
00:32:07 And our cattle with them.
00:32:10 Don't worry, Dad. Thanks to someone
00:32:20 Go over to Winters and ask him for a job.
00:32:22 He'll tell you about the cattle being stolen.
00:32:26 I'm sure he'll take you up.
00:32:29 When you get out of town, well...
00:32:33 Accidents happen.
00:32:35 That's a mighty smart idea, Gentry.
00:32:38 You sure know how to work things out.
00:32:40 Now, come on, Dusty. Let's get this over with.
00:33:15 Oh, how are you?
00:33:17 I reckon you're the owner here.
00:33:18 - Yes, I am.
00:33:22 Well, I could've used you last night.
00:33:24 Rustlers run off all my cattle.
00:33:28 Well, they couldn't have gone far.
00:33:31 Cattle has to eat, you know.
00:33:32 Why don't you trail him?
00:33:34 I've phoned the sheriff, but he won't be back
00:33:38 Well, we'll make you a little proposition.
00:33:40 If we bring your herd back, will you give us
00:33:44 I sure will.
00:33:46 Well, that's fair enough. You better go with us
00:33:50 Then you can come back and get the sheriff.
00:33:52 We may lose your rustlers, but we'll sure
00:33:55 Alright, I'll saddle up right away.
00:34:02 Oh, Ms. Winters...
00:34:04 - Oh, good morning, Mr. Gentry.
00:34:06 Is your dad around?
00:34:07 Why, yes. I think he's over at the barn.
00:34:10 - I'd like to see him.
00:34:21 - Good morning, Gentry.
00:34:23 Rustlers run off my cattle last night, and I've
00:34:31 We'll take care of him, Ms. Winters.
00:34:34 When we sight the cattle, he's coming back
00:34:38 Oh! Oh, I see!
00:34:52 Don't worry, dear. I may be late getting back,
00:34:59 Good luck.
00:35:06 Oh, I do hope they find our cattle!
00:35:09 In case your dad is late getting back, I'd be very happy
00:35:15 Thank you, but I'm not afraid.
00:35:18 Oh, that wouldn't be an inconvenience,
00:35:21 In fact, it's going to be a real pleasure.
00:35:26 And here's the letter we got from Ganns.
00:35:32 'Hello, Gentry. This will introduce Gat Ganns.
00:35:36 He's just the man for the job you mentioned.
00:35:38 Sorry I can't do it, but I got a couple of
00:35:42 Gat's plenty tough, as the enclosed poster
00:35:45 Good luck. Bill.'
00:35:48 Gentry!
00:35:50 That dirty smick!
00:35:52 I don't know how I can ever repay you boys.
00:35:54 I hate to think what would've happened if you
00:35:57 Oh, gosh, Mr. Winters. We're glad to help you.
00:36:00 The question is what to do next.
00:36:03 I got it!
00:36:05 You go tell Gentry that we've disposed
00:36:08 If he wants proof, take him and show him Ganns.
00:36:15 And then...
00:36:17 Alright, get outta here before I shoot
00:37:56 - Well, Dusty's taken the shovel, but I guess
00:38:00 Where is your partner?
00:38:01 He beat it for the border. We figure that the
00:38:05 And I suppose you want your dough.
00:38:06 That's all I'm waiting for.
00:38:09 Well, the bank's closed, but I'll have it for you
00:38:13 Fair enough. I'll stay at the Winters' place tonight.
00:38:16 Got a few things I wanna pick up.
00:38:18 Alright, but don't let the girl see you.
00:38:20 I won't let anyone see me.
00:38:22 Okay.
00:38:48 - Hello, boys.
00:38:50 Well, I got some good news for you.
00:38:53 The Winters' ranch'll soon be mine.
00:38:56 Ol' man Winters is dead.
00:38:59 - Well, that is good news, I'd say.
00:39:03 Wonder what happened to him.
00:39:11 And now we're gonna collect five thousand dollars
00:39:14 - Five thousand?
00:39:16 Gat Ganns is at the Winters' ranch,
00:39:20 There's a price on his head of
00:39:24 - Dead men tell no tales.
00:39:28 I don't care who does the job, just so it's done.
00:39:38 Peewee, you're gonna fly your tail outta here!
00:39:41 They're laying plots and it's up to us to tell 'em!
00:40:34 Why, Spuds! What're you doin' over here?
00:40:37 I come to tell you, they're gonna shoot you,
00:40:40 Gentry says there's a reward for you and he's
00:40:43 Double-crossed, eh?
00:40:46 Oh, you don't have to worry, Spuds. There's no
00:40:51 What's that?
00:40:52 That was Aunt Marthy's.
00:40:55 She gave it to me when she died.
00:40:57 Marthy?
00:40:59 Yeah, she was Butch's wife. She was the only
00:41:04 Marthy, Butch...
00:41:05 Now I know where I've seen 'em. He and his
00:41:10 Say, Spuds. Did Aunt Martha ever tell you
00:41:14 She said he was dead and that Butch wasn't
00:41:17 She left me a letter and told me not to open
00:41:20 Well, where is it?
00:41:21 I brought this with me, 'cause Butch said he was
00:41:30 Here it is.
00:41:32 I'm gonna open this, Spuds. It may mean a lot
00:41:44 'Dear boy, your real name is Jim Hayden.
00:41:48 Your dad and his brother were killed by Gentry
00:41:53 Don't think hard of me, son. I've had no hand
00:41:56 Aunt Martha.'
00:42:00 Jim!
00:42:04 Jim, do you know what that means?
00:42:06 It means you're my brother.
00:42:10 My own little brother.
00:42:11 Gee, ain't that swell!
00:42:19 You know, boys, in a way this isn't any great
00:42:24 I've suspicioned Gentry for a long time.
00:42:27 But I've never been able to get anything on him.
00:42:30 Years ago, right after Hayden was killed...
00:42:33 We suspected him of being the secret leader
00:42:37 But we were never able to prove it.
00:42:40 After reading that letter, there isn't a doubt
00:42:44 ... but that he was guilty of Hayden's death.
00:42:48 We've got enough on Gentry now!
00:42:50 Why should we wait?
00:42:51 Well, give Ted a chance to play his hand, Sheriff.
00:42:54 He'll get word to us when he needs us.
00:43:01 There's Gentry now.
00:43:20 No matter what happens, son, stay right here.
00:43:29 Mrs. Winters?
00:43:35 I hardly know how to tell you, but...
00:43:46 Why! That's the man that went with Dad!
00:43:50 - And he's a killer!
00:43:52 Word just came to town that they found
00:43:56 No!
00:43:57 Don't say it!
00:43:59 Don't cry, Fay. I want you to know that I'll take
00:44:03 Why, I've loved you since the first time I saw you.
00:44:07 - Please, Mr. Gentry --
00:44:11 I'll give you everything you want!
00:44:12 Please don't talk like that!
00:44:14 Listen. I want you to be my wife.
00:44:17 Oh, take your hands off me!
00:44:19 Take your hands off, Gentry.
00:44:22 - You!
00:44:26 Your father's safe, Ms. Winters.
00:44:28 Call the sheriff. I'm holding this man for murder.
00:44:32 Murder?
00:44:34 My name's Hayden. Ted Hayden.
00:44:36 Son of the man you and your gang murdered
00:44:40 You left me for dead, too, Gentry.
00:44:42 But I lived.
00:44:44 Lived to even up the score.
00:44:46 Why, he's crazy!
00:44:48 That poster proves who he is.
00:44:50 Then call the sheriff, Ms. Winters.
00:45:06 Hello?
00:45:07 No, give me the sheriff's office.
00:45:15 You're mighty brave behind a gun, aren't you?
00:45:18 Why, hangin' or shootin's too good for you,
00:45:33 Hello, is this the sheriff's office?
00:45:35 - This is Ms. Winters. Is my fath --?
00:45:39 He's alright.
00:45:42 What's that?
00:45:45 We'll be right over.
00:45:47 It's your daughter, Winters. We'll have to hurry.
00:48:09 - When Dusty comes, lead 'em right
00:48:44 I'll be alright, dear. Don't you worry.
00:48:50 Hey, Dusty! Ted said to follow me!
00:48:53 Come on, Winters!
00:50:07 It's Ganns. He's got himself in a trap.
00:50:09 Gimme that gun.
00:50:19 Listen, Gentry. Twelve years ago,
00:50:23 Separated me from my brother and took
00:50:27 You know, I oughtta give you what
00:50:30 But I'm keeping my hands clean, Gentry.
00:50:33 I'm taking you to the law.
00:50:37 Alright, boys. Let's riddle him with bullets.
00:50:48 Why, it's Gentry!
00:51:05 Up in the air, men!
00:51:07 Where's the man called Ganns?
00:51:10 He's in there.
00:51:16 Well, boys! I've been tryin' to meet up with you
00:51:27 I reckon you got here just in time, brother.
00:51:38 What're you thinking about, Jim?
00:51:41 You know, Ted meant that.
00:51:42 And he said when you married 'em,
00:51:47 Oh! He has it all worked out, has he?
00:51:50 Sure, and you better accept his proposition.
00:51:52 'Cause it'll be the only one you'll ever get.
00:51:55 Well!
00:51:58 What's my little brother been tellin' you?
00:52:02 Well, I was tellin' her what you said you didn't
00:52:09 Is my face red!
00:52:11 Well, it oughtn't to be! 'Cause Fay said she'd
00:52:16 Why, I --
00:52:18 Gosh, now you're both burnin' up.
00:52:20 I think your brother needs a good lecture.
00:52:23 Lecture? He needs a good spanking!
