- Mark.

Her father was a sea captain.

He owned a ship. Two ships.

Eat your supper.

- Lf he was here, he'd shoot you dead.

- Dead as a skunk.

- That's enough.

- Lf he wants, my pa can shoot you too.

- He can shoot anything.

- He can shoot a cougar a mile away.

Go ahead now and eat your supper.

- It's good stew, ma'am.

- Thank you.

You didn't say grace

because he's bad?

I simply forgot.

- Can't you say grace with bad people?

- Grace is for everybody, dear.

Then why don't you say it?

Dear Lord, we thank thee

for life and for food.

We ask thee to give us the wisdom

that comes with silence. Amen.

I didn't close my eyes once. I just

squinted, because you could run away.

Why would I want to run away?

This is real nice.

- Would you like me to cut your meat?

- Yeah, would you, please? Thank you.

Would you mind cutting the fat off?

I don't like fat.

- What was it?

- Me.

I thought I saw

something moving there.

They could've heard that.

Guess I got spooky.

I was in San Francisco once.

I knew a girl there.

She was a sea captain's daughter too.

And she had the greenest eyes.

I used to look deep into her eyes

and they'd just change colors...

...get all fiery and green.

All the colors of the sea.

Funny how a woman's eyes

will change color at nighttime.

Alice.

You go inside, Alex,

and don't take your eyes off him.

What was Alex shooting at?

Why did you have to sit there

listening to him?

- What do you mean?

- All big-eyed and listening to him.

Something's moving down there.

They don't know he's here, do they?

No, they think he's in the coach.

That's how we planned it.

Matthew, Mark.

- Yes?

- Get the horses.

- Which ones?

- They're saddled.

What happens when they

catch the coach?

They'll have to round their men up, so

they won't catch up to it till noon.

They'll find out.

By then we'll be in Contention, and

they can't get there in time anyway.

Alex, turn down the lamp, and when

the horses come, bring him out.

Don't worry. This is safer

than being with the coach.

- The boys are so proud.

- What?

Proud of you.

Their own father capturing Ben Wade.

- Didn't you see them looking at you?

- No, all I saw was Wade.

And I'm proud too.

Put him on the middle horse.

Alex, you lead.

I'm obliged for your hospitality.

I appreciate it, and your husband too.

I hope I can send him back

to you all right.

What did he mean, he'll

send him back all right?

He was just talking.

- Do you think anything will happen?

- Sure. He'll come back with $200.

$200 is a lot.

Not if he doesn't come back, it isn't.

- What's wrong?

- Can I see my wife from here?

- No, you couldn't possibly.

- Maybe that's why I feel so good.
