He's right on time.
Let's go.
Keep tight.
All right, come on,
everybody out.
Don't try to be a hero,
you won't get hurt.
I'm too old to be a hero.
Besides I'm broke.
Please don't take this.
It's a family heirloom.
Take it easy, lady. We don't
want anything from you.
Here it is.
Take it over there
behind that Boulder.
- What's the meaning of this?
- Just a little stop for lunch.
Wait a minute.
golden state bank.
They can have it back
after we bust it open.
Come and get it,
folks!
All right, get going.
Pile into it.
Well, I never saw
anything like this.
Help yourselves,
ladies.
Look at this...
Real Harris linen.
Never saw any better
in Boston.
Never saw men like that
in Boston.
Help yourself, partner.
It's on the house.
On the contrary,
it's costing me $50,000.
I thought
it was bank money.
It is and I happen
to own the bank.
I've always wanted
to meet a bank president.
Here, Mr. Sharon.
Well, lookit here...
Champagne.
Have a snort?
Well, perhaps
just a little.
Come on, let's go!
All right, folks,
on your way.
You, too.
I'd like to get the recipe
for these eggs.
back in Boston.
When I get back I'll have
something to say about this.
I guarantee you won't
get away with it.
"GOLDEN ELEPHANT MINE"
POSITIVELY:
NO ADMITTANCE.
How'd it go?
Sharon
was on the coach.
- Did he spot you?
- No. I kept out of his way.
Dump it down there, men,
and get out.
Hey, take it easy
with that, clem.
Those glasses
cost 2 bucks apiece.
You still don't go
for that, do you?
No, not when I pay
for half of it...
Champagne, chicken,
Glasses that cost
2 bucks apiece.
Cheapest insurance
we could buy.
Rob the poor,
and you get a posse
Of outraged citizens
after you.
Rob a mine owner,
and nobody cares.
Leave the passengers alone,
Why go to all the expense
to make a banquet?
- Ever hear of Robin hood?
- I didn't think so.
Besides, I like champagne.
That's what
I always figured.
At times you get
Remember, we wouldn't be doing
this if the mine were any good.
Look, you're over 21. I didn't
ask you to put your money in it.
As long as I did,
I intend to make it pay off.
Better get that stuff
put in our own cases.
And tell the boys to keep smoke
coming out of those chimneys.
All right.
We're supposed to
be producing.
These bandits not only
made a picnic
Out of stealing my bullion,
but on top of that,
They had the impudence
Take it easy, will.
That lamp was imported, too...
From Italy.
I'm sorry, Charles,
Whenever I think of these
holdups there's only one way
To put a stop to them, railroad
through that territory.
I understand how you feel.
I can't build a railroad
for you just to stop
A few penny-ante highwaymen
from robbing the stagecoach.
It may be penny-ante to you,
but it isn't to me.
My bank has money tied up
in the comstock area,
The richest area in the country.
You do as I tell you,
And you'll have more business
than you can handle.
Well, maybe so,
But right now
the central pacific
Is in no position
to take on a job like that.
How about it, ed?
I've checked over
the map.
We can handle this
from Reno to Carson city.
would be prohibitive.
But that's why
I need it the most.
On this terrain,
it would take
15 Miles of track
My advice
is to forget it, sir.
I didn't come here
for advice.
I'll make a deal with you.
We'll handle the strip from Reno
to Carson city if you'll build
to Carson city first.
If you think it's such a good
investment for us,
It ought to be a good one
for your bank.
Lend me one of your engineers,
and I'll do it.
I need my staff
right where they are,
But I know a good man...
Jeff Kincaid.
If he's so good,
why isn't he still with you?
He said it was getting
Last I heard, he was in Panama
putting in the shortest
Nastiest little roadbed
in the world across the isthmus.
I understand he's back.
Got in last week.
Sounds more like an adventurer
than an engineer.
He's an engineer, all
right. Don't worry about that.
But he's also,
shall we say, independent.
- Henry?
- Yes, sir?
- Jeff Kincaid's in town.
- Yes, sir.
- Find him.
- Ye...
Where shall I look
for him, sir?
- Well, you know him, don't you?
- Yes, sir.
Well, then you know
where to look.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Kincaid?
Excuse me.
Mr. Kincaid!
Mr. Kincaid. Mr. Kincaid.
Mr. Kincaid.
I'm glad I found you. I've been
looking all over town for you.
I have a very important
message.
That'll teach you
to say I'm no lady!
Mr. Kincaid.
Kincaid.
Hey, you can go now.
Just when I was
getting comfortable.
- Hello, daley.
- Hello, Jeff.
- Did you bail me out?
- Mr. Crocker.
Nice of you.
What happened to you?
You did.
Sorry, son.
Let's go. Mr. Crocker
wants to see you.
How much did it cost
to bail me out?
- $20.
- Got enough for one more?
Sure, but Mr. Crocker
told me to be sure...
This is for that blonde lady
down at the end,
Compliments
of Mr. Charles Crocker.
I found him. Here he is.
Hello, Jeff.
How do you feel?
Proud as I look.
Thanks for bailing me out.
- You broke?
- Flat.
Good. He's your man.
This is William Sharon.
He wants you
to build him a railroad.
The fact is I may not
be ready to start.
Don't be a fool. When I
recommend a man for a tough job,
I know what
I'm talking about.
Thanks, Mr. Crocker,
but I don't want it.
- You don't know what it is.
- You said it was tough.
- All I have to know to say no.
- You've changed.
Sure.
Ever spend six months
Pushing a track
through a swamp
With mosquitoes
as big as your fist?
Let me know whenever you
need a good office man. Thanks.
Daley was right.
It wouldn't work anyway.
Too many mountains to go around
between Carson and Virginia.
Why do you want to build a
railroad in that desolate place?
- That's my business.
- What's your route?
That's the trouble.
There isn't any.
All you have is a whole range
of granite mountains.
There's the big one,
right there.
- How do you know that country?
- I was born there.
You never
told me that.
been back in 10 years,
But I remember that baby
sticking up all by itself.
That was my first
engineering job.
My kid brother and I swiped
a couple of pickaxes and started
To tunnel through it. Broke the
handles before we got 2 feet in
And got a licking to boot.
Always said I'd come back
someday and finish the job.
- How does it look?
- Just as dead as when I left.
- You had a brother here?
- Half brother.
You can look him up
and meet me later.
Haven't seen him for 10 years.
