I don't like you any more than Forbes did,
but he got himself murdered for you...
and maybe I will, too.
That's what they pay me for.
- Do we understand each other?
- Relax, Percy, your shield's untarnished.
I've changed my mind.
I wouldn't want any of that nobility
to rub off on me.
It won't, if you keep your distance.
All the way to the Coast?
- Poor Forbes.
- What about poor Forbes?
He owed me $5.
Driver, about two blocks from the station,
let me out.
- What's the idea?
- You're on your own till the train starts.
Tickets, money. You pay the driver.
- I don't get it.
- Just do as you're told.
They haven't seen you yet,
they don't know what you look like.
But they've seen me. If they shoot
in my direction, I don't want you hit.
- You're sure it isn't the other way around?
- When you get to the station, walk...
don't run to the platform.
Carry your own bag.
Go straight to car 10, room B,
and lock yourself in.
If the lights are on, turn them off
and leave them off.
- Don't forget to pull the shade.
I'm not too keen
on this grand jury business.
You've forgotten about the guy with the
fur collar. You can't stand him up.
In the morning they'd be fishing you
out of the Chicago River.
I'll see you aboard.
Keep the change.
- May I carry your bags?
- No, thanks, I'll carry them.
... now ready for occupancy on Track C.
Leaves in five minutes. Okay, I'll tell him.
Densel had bad luck. He got winged, too.
Up to us, huh?
Tail Brown. She's with him.
What's she look like?
He never saw her face.
Just keep your eye on the cop.
They'll be on the train together someplace.
- Better get started.
- Who covers us? Just in case.
Leave that to Densel.
I'll be in the club car.
Central Pacific, train number 5...
Golden West Limited for Kansas City...
La Junta, Albuquerque and Los Angeles...
departing on Track D in five minutes.
Conductor C. Arnicob, please report
to the stationmaster's office.
Central Pacific, gate number 5, Golden...
- Your bags are inside, sir.
- Okay, fine. Thanks.
It's me, Brown. Open up.
- Well, are we okay?
- I'll tell you in a minute.
All aboard!
The answer is no.
- They know I'm here, don't they?
- Take it easy.
Who followed you?
The man in the fur collar?
No, but someone
from the same stable, I guess.
Some creep with a one-track mind.
Well, what're you going to do?
How are you going to handle it?
Why did you let him follow you?
They promised me protection.
Shut up.
- They said it would...
- Shut up, do you hear?
I got enough on my mind.
It's a rotten detail. I don't like it.
I didn't like it from the start.
My partner's dead and it's my fault.
