Spectroscopy...

Alignment of particles.

Fibre examination, all of it.

A waste of time.

How is that?

Well, the picture is

obviously authentic.

Look at the shadows.

What about them?

Look. A current camera

always flashes...

next to the lens.

But at that time...

The held the flash on top.

Which shortened the shadows.

See?

Hadn't you realised?

Of course I realised,

Miss Crawford.

I have this photo memorised.

The shadow has obviously

been shortened.

Great. We think alike.

You bet.

Do you know where the photo was taken?

Not yet.

This is our next step.

Miss Crawford,

do you have any idea...

how many towns in the old west...

grew and disappeared out of nowhere?

Yes, I know.

But what can you tell me

about the town in this photo?

Well, it was important.

There was a photographer...

and also a newspaper.

Which means...

that it was something

more than a simple town.

Very impressive, professor.

No wonder you were considered...

the most important expert.

Were?

Well, they'll say that,

don't you think?

Now, these mountains should

not have changed.

If we could align this photo with the real mountains......

This is ridiculous, it

could take months.

Time is relative, professor.

You should know that.

Do you have a room

where I could change?

We should make a start.

- Take your pick.

- Much obliged.

Little Jack,

Little Jack.

I want to also.

What do you say?

I say you won't get anything.

You say no damn thing.

I said nobody was to leave camp.

We're not part of your band.

You get paid to do

whatever you're told.

We got to wash too, no?

What you have to do

is rob a stagecoach.

and we have to be ready

for when it arrives.

Oh, Bart. It won't arrive until...

It will arrive when it arrives.

Maybe before.

And here you are playing in

the river like a bunch of idiots.

Out of the water, let's go!

The Pulmari river, but

known as the old rattler

before, an important stop for travellers...

and famous hideout for

bandits and outlaws.

Why are we stopping?

Because I'm tired.

I've been through here

dozens of times...

and say it's a waste of time.

That's all right. No need

to enter defense mode.

I'm not in a defense mode.

Whatever that means.

All right. Suppose that

we do find the town.

What will it prove a hundred

years after the facts.

I cannot believe a great historian...

can doubt the validity of

the first verifiable step.

Right. What is the next town?

- Crossfire.

- Ah, yes.

They tried to restore this

town two years ago.

And I know that the only

thing they accomplished...

was a failed trap for tourists.

We have to see it.

It won't take long.

I'll put a little music.
