:20:01
Too much of a hurry.
:20:03
They forgot to ask you if you'd work
for the railroad again. Would you?
:20:08
Yes, I would. Not to give you a short answer.
:20:11
- It's the answer I wanted.
- Sit down, Grant.
:20:14
Do you remember Whitey Harbin?
:20:16
Used to work down
in Arizona and New Mexico.
:20:19
- Yeah.
- Well, he's moved into Colorado.
:20:21
I thought he favoured stage lines and banks.
:20:24
So did we. But he's learned
about railroad payrolls
:20:27
- and he's grabbed three in a row.
- Where do I fit in?
:20:31
They're making up a supply train in the yard.
:20:33
I want you to ride it.
:20:36
- With $10,000 in your pocket.
- Why me?
:20:40
Quite frankly, because no one
would suspect you of carrying a payroll.
:20:47
I sure don't look like $10,000, do I?
:20:52
Are you building a bridge you don't need?
:20:54
The money's here. Why not bring the men in
on Saturday and pay them off in town?
:20:58
And lose half the crew?
Turn them loose in a mining town,
:21:01
they'll go up the hills looking for gold.
:21:03
It won't work. And we have to finish
this section before snow comes.
:21:07
That's a pretty big gamble on a man
who gave his horse to a thief!
:21:12
Yes. You might as well know
the deck's stacked against you.
:21:15
A boxcar will be hooked to the train.
I'll be one of the men in it.
:21:19
- When did this happen?
- Last week.
:21:21
- Renner, did you know?
- Yes.
:21:23
- Why didn't you tell me?
- I told him not to.
:21:25
- Why?
- Everything we plan gets back to Whitey.
:21:28
- You think I'd tell him?
- You might trust the wrong people.
:21:31
- If he takes the job, I'm sure of it.
- And if I don't take it?
:21:34
Then Jeff will be sitting in Ben's chair.
:21:38
Oh, I wouldn't like that.
:21:41
Uh-uh.
:21:44
So I'll take the job on one condition.
:21:48
If I make the delivery I get his job.
:21:54
You made a deal.
