But how?

Look, I don't know how. I can't operate. I haven't got the instruments.

- I wouldn't know how to use them even if I did.

- You're gonna operate.

What are you two talking about?

The Captain's waiting for you to take the bullet out, Doc.

He's waiting for the water to boil.

If Bruhn dies, I'll kill you.

What are we waiting for?

Sit down.

You'd better have some of this.

Put it away.

Hide the liquor.

(Bruhn) Mr. Starrett, talk to me.

What about?

Anything, Mr. Starrett.

Anything.

(Blaise) Where did you serve in the cavalry, Captain?

Why do you ask?

I remember hearing about a Captain Bruhn.

Some incident with the Mormons in Utah. I just wondered if you were the same.

(Doc) Would you help me, please?

What did you hear?

(Blaise) No.

Couldn't be you.

Yes, it was.

(Bruhn) Strange, how one word can change a man's life.

I could have ordered, "Retreat!"

My command was, "Fire!"

At West Point I made up my mind to be all soldier,

which doesn't leave much room for being human.

Thanks.

Keep your people in check. I'll control my men.

Gene,

stay with me.

I'm sleepy.

What are his chances, Doc?

I don't know.

It was in real deep.

I'd say if he lasts through the night...

I just don't know.

Shorty.

I found a bottle in the barbershop.

The Captain says no whiskey.

- He'll never know.

- He knows everything.

They'd have hung you back in Casper if it hadn't been for Captain Bruhn.

And I'd have been an old bum in Adeline.

I wish you hadn't busted the bottle, Shorty.

We could have had just one drink.

Did you ever see what the Captain does to men that disobey?

- I've never seen anybody disobey him.

- I have.

Be glad I busted that bottle.

I'll get it.

It's a relief to see you and Mr. Starrett friendly again.

Mr. Preston and I were so worried.

That's all over, isn't it, Mr. Starrett?

Doesn't seem very important right now.

- Hal and you can be good friends.

- Yes, we might try it sometime.

What Blaise needs is a wife to steady him down.

Clagget stole a horse from 'em.

He's just saddling up. He's gonna make a run for it.

He's crazy. He'll never make it.

- He knows they're watching the road.

- Keep the women inside.

Clagget, hold it.

My wife's alone at the farm. I got to go to her.

You can't get through. They got a man watching the road.

I'll get through.

(Gunshot)

Bruhn is dying.

I saw him a little while ago.

He looks strong and healthy.

He might not last the day.

- What will happen if he dies?

- They'll start drinking and fighting.

I've got to get Tommy out of that place.

No, you can't help him. You better stay.

- They'll be here too, soon enough.

- They mustn't find you here.
