Lomax, this is Fletcher.

He's going to haul the gold away.

Why him?

- L work for Pierce.

Nobody'll find half a million in gold

in Pierce's own flour barrel.

Half a million?

When do we split it up?

Wouldn't be too smart to flash gold

around right after the robbery.

We should wait about six months.

- Six months?

Let's don't spend it before we get it.

Hands off my wife! - L thought she was

your daughter. - Well, she ain't!

Billy!

- You keep away from her!

A drunk kid and a crazy old man!

- Cut it out, all of ya!

You're not here to be

the best of friends. We've work to do,

and only three days to do it in.

Come on over here.

This map shows the run

from Emmett to El Paso.

Ln the morning, Billy, l want you

to ride it and check these two places.

Find out

how much dynamite you're gonna need.

The wagon takes five and a half

minutes to cross Stony Flats.

That's where we'll hit it first.

Well, see ya later, partner.

- Where you goin'? - To town.

L got another partner there, remember?

- L remember.

We wouldn't want him to be impatient,

and hire somebody else.

Take good care of him.

Levi...

Let us pass!

Alright.

We walk from here.

Oumb lndians!

Looks like they're movin' out.

- They are.

Squaws, old men, children.

Pierce has starved them out.

What about Wild Horse?

- He's staying.

Pierce'll hunt him down too.

Oumb lndians!

And you're smart? - Sure! L've learned

to live in a white man's world.

Grab all you can, anytime you can.

Wait here.

Your enemy is my enemy.

- Taw!

Chief Wild Horse, Natani Jackson.

- Too many warriors have died.

He says, Your enemy is his enemy.

- Good.

No. He says he will lose

too many braves.

Ask him does he ride

with warriors or women.

Lf you want my tribe

and my warriors, l will do it.

He will do it, but he wants more

of everything. - He does or you do?

Bargain with him.

- What exactly do you want?

And 30 pounds of salt.

Tell him he drives a hard bargain.

But we'll agree.

You can stay.

But the white man must go.

Lt is done. He wants me to stay

to dinner, but you're not welcome.

Having a white man here offends him.

- You can tell him... - What?

Nothing.

Three sixes.

- Beats me.

Hello, Lola.

Lt's been a long time, Lomax.

May l join you? - Sure.

- Looks like you're still a winner.

L lose every once in a while.

How's your laundry service?

Oh, they can't even speak English.

- A pity.

Any limit?

Lf there was, you wouldn't play.

Fifty.

- L'm out.

Lola! - Hello, Mr Pierce.

- Too rich for me.

Two cards.

- You get my message? - Yeah.

Took you long enough to get here.

- L had things to do.

What happened to those two men?

L last saw them in the main street
