and, you know, makes things.

- Yeah.

- Right.

Excuse me.

Sorry to bother you at this late hour

but I need my saddlebags.

Is there a problem?

Get down!

Speakes, I got them!

They are over herein the bar.

- What the hell are you doing?

- I want that money.

Don't you want your damn life? Come on!

You ran them off, didn't you?

I thought you was out front.

You're a dip.

Get on!

Leave it.

We're all right for now.

It looks pretty clear.

You almost got me killed back there,

you idiot.

Yeah? You didn't have to stop, did you?

Yeah. Well, we're even.

Even.

Where'd you learn to shoot like that?

- My husband.

- A husband?

And where might that poor

soul-suffering gentleman be?

- We stopped seeing eye to eye.

- I can see why.

So where're you going?

- Away from you.

- Well, now, just hold on.

- From where I stand you owe me $2,500.

- I don't owe you nothing.

You do. After all...

I lost all that money because

he was following you, not me.

Hey, get down there.

You're lucky I don't kill you.

That was my money and my last chance.

Well, maybe we can make a deal.

- I could use some assistance.

- You need more than that.

I've been planning this particular job...

- This bank job. And--

- I stole to live.

- I ain't no robber.

- I'll say you ain't.

So, what're you gonna do?

A woman alone out here

in the middle of the wilderness?

None of your beeswax.

You don't even have a plan, do you?

Do you?

No, you don't.

You don't even know what you're doing.

Of course I do.

You got a plan? What is it?

I'm starting a cattle ranch, Mr. Nosybody.

A cattle ranch. Now, that's a great idea.

Where are you gonna get the money?

You want your freedom,

you gotta have money.

You partner with me

and you're gonna have plenty of it.

Fine. What's your stupid idea?

Okay-

Six days from now...

Wells Fargo's gonna be

bringing in $75,000.

Now, with half that money...

You can buy all the cattle you want.

Where's the bank?

- You just trust me, okay?

- Right.

That's all there is to it?

We're gonna need a grubstake

if we're gonna, you know...

You play any poker?

Poker? I thought you said rob a bank.

The best way to get money out of a bank

is to put money in the bank. Get it?

Fine. I partner with you,

I get my money, and I'm gone.

That's a deal.

- Jack Cooper.

- Sarah O'Rourke.

One thing, partner.

This here's a business relationship.

I sleep alone. Get it?

I do, too.

Good.

Wells Fargo's offering $2,500 bounty

for the man and woman who've clone this.

They can be alive, they can be dead.

I'm moving out of here in 10 minutes.

Anyone who comes with me has

that reward. I don't want a penny of it.

What the hell have they done exactly?
