:03:02
I heard you were made sheriff...
:03:06
- What's the idea of the gun?
- I don't know which side you're on.
:03:10
- What do you mean?
- I heard you work for Bart Jason.
:03:14
Nothing's set yet.
:03:17
He offered me good money,
but I don't know what I have to do.
:03:21
- Would you like to hear?
- Yeah, go ahead.
:03:24
Cole,
that's close enough to that gun.
:03:27
I just wanted to see
if you'd slowed down any.
:03:31
Not that much.
:03:33
What were you saying about Jason?
:03:36
He showed up here around the end
of the war with a pocketful of money.
:03:39
Nobody can find out where he got it,
:03:42
but everybody else
around here was broke.
:03:44
- You know how it was.
- Yeah, all over Texas.
:03:47
Having money, he started to grow.
But now he needs more water.
:03:51
There's only one place to get it.
:03:53
Trouble is, somebody was there
ahead of him. About 20 years ahead.
:03:57
A man named MacDonald got here
:03:59
when there was nothing
but Indians and coyotes.
:04:01
Mr MacDonald's got four boys
and a girl, all worked real hard.
:04:04
They hung together through the rough
times, and now things are looking up,
:04:08
MacDonald's in no mind to sell.
:04:10
So he's holding and Jason's pushing,
and I'm standing right in the middle.
:04:14
It's not the way it was told to me.
:04:17
That's the way it is. I guess
you're supposed to take care of me.
:04:21
Not that I couldn't do it, Harrah,
but I don't think I'd like that.
:04:27
I'm glad to hear you say that.
:04:29
Not that I couldn't handle you,
but I wouldn't like that either.
:04:32
Suppose I tell that Jason that
I had a long talk with you,
:04:37
and you scared me off.
:04:39
- Good enough?
- Good enough.
:04:41
You can put that thing down now.
:04:44
Something familiar about that gun.
:04:48
I just had it fixed like yours.
:04:50
You got lucky with it,
I thought I'd try it.
:04:54
Cole Thornton, you decent? You'd
better be, 'cause I'm coming in.
:04:58
Good to see you.
I didn't believe you were here.
