:02:01
People talk about Billy the Kid,
or Wes Hardin, or Sam Bass.
:02:05
They're tough and they're bad,
but there aren't any as bad as Frank Slayton.
:02:08
Sandwich, Miss Ballard?
:02:10
No, thank you. I'll wait till Rodger's Station.
:02:12
- Mr. Hampton?
- No, thanks.
:02:14
Three weeks ago,
he and his gang rode into Taos.
:02:17
Murdered four people. Burned and looted.
Carried off two Indian girls.
:02:21
Is that why they sent these soldiers along?
:02:23
You see the strongbox we're carrying? Gold.
:02:27
- Frightened, Mr. Weatherby?
- Yes, sir. I admit it.
:02:30
Why don't you stay out
of this part of the country?
:02:33
I can't. I'm a bones buyer.
Buffalo bones, that is.
:02:36
I sell them for fertilizer.
:02:37
But, Mr. Hampton,
what are you doing out this way?
:02:40
- You're a Southerner, aren't you?
- Yes. An unreconstructed Southerner.
:02:45
I saw my home, Richmond,
after Grant and his men got through with it.
:02:50
I know how you feel.
My home was in Atlanta.
:02:54
My sympathies, Miss Ballard.
We have a great deal in common.
:02:58
Intending to stay out here in the West?
:03:00
Yes. The man I'm going to marry
is meeting me in Haynesville.
:03:03
We'll go on to California from there.
:03:05
- San Francisco?
- Oh, no. He has a ranch.
:03:08
- Ever lived on a ranch?
- No, but I'm sure that I'll like it.
:03:15
Better wake up, Mr. Burgess,
we're pulling into Rodger's Station.
:03:38
Harris, take your men back to Fort Grant
for replacements.
:03:51
Perhaps you'll join me for dinner,
Miss Ballard.
:03:53
That's kind of you, but I'm afraid that I can't.
:03:56
He's not meeting you here,
the man you're going to marry?
:03:59
No. In Haynesville, tomorrow.
