Wallace's 10,000 got in my way,

so I removed it.

Now I understand why our name

is poison in Albuquerque.

You're too emotional,just like

your father. That's why he died poor.

Never mind that.

I want that girl's money.

I don't stand for threats, Cole.

And if you got any ideas of calling on

the law, it'll be your word against mine.

What about the word

of your hired killer?

- He won't talk.

- If he don't want to shake hands with sudden death, he'll talk.

There's a mob with a rope looking for you.

You want to talk to them or to the law?

Take him to the sheriff,Juke.

Tell him I said to lock him up.

I wish Pearl was here to see what a

useful citizen I've turned out to be.

Come on, get movin'.

Let's you and I have

another little talk, eh, Cole?

Do you want to save

any of these, Ted?

No, burn 'em all up. I don't want to save a scrap of

anything to remind me of this place or anybody in it.

How do you suppose Mr. Armin knew

I was bringing the money?

He's got connections

all over this territory.

And his nephew being on the same stage

wasn't just a coincidence.

Just because his name is Cole Armin

doesn't convict him with me.

Look...

instead of using the money we have left to

go home, couldn't we make a fresh start here?

What with? The only start we

can make, honey, is back home,

or go to work forJohn Armin.

Armin! Armin! Armin!

That's all I've heard since I got here.

Albuquerque could grow into a big city

someday, and you could grow with it.

It's the fear of his power that's strangling

you and everybody else in this town.

I not gonna stand by

and watch you quit.

Is this the Wallace Freighting Company?

Ted! It was

the Wallace Freighting Company.

You've got nothing to say

that we want to hear. Get out!

Miss Celia, I don't want to fight

any more today.

Will you ask your brother

to sit down and listen?

Sit down, Ted.

I came here thinking you might

need some help. What kind of help?

I could learn to drive mules. Is this

another one of your uncle's schemes?

Well, I just came from him,

but he didn't send me.

I'm interested in this town and its possibilities.

Matter of fact, I'm looking for a job.

You heard what my sister said.

We're out of business.

Maybe this will put you

back in business.

Our money. How did you

- You'll find it all there.

I don't know how to thank you. I can tell you

how, by selling me an interest in your company.

You mean you want to be

partners with us? I reckon.

Mister, you've made a deal.

The Wallace-Armin Freighting Company.

Sheriff! Sheriff!

Jackson, I'm not going to

tell you again. Stop that noise.

I ain't started makin' noise yet.

When I do, everyone will hear me,
