butt into something

that's none of your business,

you really shouldn't.

I think you're right, friend.

A man shouldn't

butt into anything

that ain't his own affair.

Sheep farmer...

you want to sell them sheep?

Uh, yes, sir.

Well, let's see,

I'll give you $100 now

and $300

when I get them to market.

Well, that's highway robbery.

Well, maybe you think

you're going to get

a better offer for them today.

I'll take it.

With one proviso.

What's that?

I go with the sheep.

Good.

You're working for me.

You go ahead.

You go right ahead.

If there's anything I enjoy more

than hanging a sheepherder

it's hanging somebody who sticks

his nose into my business.

Go on, you try to cut that rope.

No, you've got me scared.

You do it.

Dog!

Get him off! Get him off!

Dog!

Just who in the hell

do you think you are?

Jacob McCandles.

Oh, I, uh...

I thought you were dead,

Mr. McCandles.

Not hardly.

You going to cut him down?

Now his hands.

Foreman's name's Gonzales.

Tell him I sent you.

Take the boy with you.

Thank you, sir.

Come along, son.

If you follow him,

I'll hunt you down and kill you.

Every mother's son

of you.

Come on, dog.

Seor McCandles!

Hola, Chihuahua.

Para usted, seor.

Here you are, Mr. McCandles.

Thanks, Joe.

Hank!

She's in there,

Mr. McCandles, waiting.

What happened

to your spurs?

Oh, they don't work

on these newfangled

velocipedes.

Oh.

Well, see that they get

my gear out of that car.

Yes, sir.

Martha.

It's been a long time.

It's good to see you again.

You've changed, Jacob.

Not you.

You're as young

and lovely as ever.

I called you, Jacob

because your grandson

has been kidnapped.

You didn't know

you had a grandson?

You have, by

your son Jeffrey,

and Jeffrey has been

badly wounded by the kidnappers.

Will he live?

This is the ransom note.

The blood on it

is Jeffrey's.

Will he live?

Yes.

I would not contemplate

otherwise.

Do we ha...

Do you have a million dollars?

Yes. And many times that.

Hank!

Yes, ma'am?

Will you bring in

the strongbox, please?

Set it down here

on the table.

That's all.

Yes, ma'am.

Is this the way you want it?

Yes.

They're very dangerous men.

They've already killed

ten people.

Many of them you knew.

Juan and his family...

Teena and the little boy?

Moses Brown.

Old Mose...

lousy cook.

Jacob, as I said, they're very

dangerous and violent people.

And I don't think

we've got any other choice

than to give them

what they've asked for.

I agree.

But you know that, pay or not,

you run the risk of never seeing

the boy again.

I understand.

Well, "follow the map

until met."

That's easy.

I'll need food for a week,

water for ten days,
