West of the Divide Recognize the area, son? I remember that ridge. The city was located
at the bottom of the valley. This is where I picked you up,
twelve years ago. I thought you were dead. I'll never forget that night,
Dusty. The gunshots... the screams of the wounded... the courage of my father... he protected me
and fought like a lion. He fell on me, riddled with bullets
and whispered to me: Lie still, little one, they thought you were dead. He didn't know that I was
shot in the chest. Then
a guy struck a match, I stayed down, and the guy said:
we got them. The match went out. Someone laughed. I'll never forget that giggle,
that of a madman! Like a killer! Then the morning came, I was in your arms. I carried you into town. For two years you have remained
between life and death. You've been holding on. If only we could find
my little brother... Don't believe it. Our only lead is the couple
your father used. I remember,
the woman was cooking and taking care of Jim. You know, Dusty, m
y mother died
when Jim was born. Jim is my only family,
if he is still alive. The employee and his wife are missing. We have little chance
of finding them. One day a guy came to your father's
at your father's house, his name was... Gentry. But he didn't know anything about it. You don't have to hurt yourself
by going over all this again. Tomorrow in town we'll investigate. Poison! In the water... I didn't know that. I wonder who that is. Opens the envelope. Hi, Gentry, this is Gat Ganns. This is
the man for you. I'm sorry I can't come,
but I'm being hunted. Gat is a real tough guy,
this poster proves it. Good luck, Phil. Gentry! He wants to murder someone. This is the guy who took
your dad's ranch. I can't believe how much you look like him. Maybe fate has decided
to intervene, Dusty. We don't know what this Gentry guy is doing. But we'll find out. From now on, I am Gat Ganns...
the killer! My daughter and I have been thinking
about the ranch. We are not selling. We have the most impor
tant
water point in the region. We hope to make the ranch
a beautiful estate. I admit I'm interested in water, and I understand that you are interested in it. But the area is wild
and the cattle rustlers are numerous. That's why I sold
part of the herd, and I will sell the rest
next week. Excuse me a moment,
Mr. Gentry. Is everything going well? The cattle are on their way. I think the count is right. Thank you, Mr. Hartley. The bank is closed,
I'll go tomorrow. I have some young calves
that you
might be interested in. I'm delighted to see you,
Ms. Winters. Your father told me
that you're not selling anymore. It's true.
We like it here. It's the place Dad dreamed of,
so why sell? If you like it,
that's the main thing. As a good neighbor, may I call you
from time to time? Of course you can. We will always be happy
to receive you. - Hello boss.
- Hi, guys. Winters refuses to sell. He'll change his mind, I'll ruin him. Tomorrow his daughter will leave the ranch with a large sum of money.
Joe and Hank,
I want you to rob her. But remember,
don't hurt her. I want that ranch,
no matter what the cost! - Here you go, honey.
- I'll be back soon. - If it wasn't for you, I could have had it!
- It's not too late. We lost her. Why did you drop it
when you were holding it? I never held it,
you stupid bastard! Drop the gun,
are you crazy? Get up, before... Try it, you coward! Get in the saddle,
we'll tell the boss. They seem to be in a hurry. This barn is deserted. We'll camp here for now. G
et in quickly! Bullet holes. That's pretty weird, Dusty. Let's hurry up and get her
into town. Just in time. A small artery has been hit,
but it's not too bad. How did this happen? I don't know, we found it
in an abandoned barn. Maybe a fall from a horse. Our stuff is still there,
we have to go back. We'll come back
maybe later. You probably saved his life.
saved his life. Don't hang around here.
Go deposit the money in the bank. Meet me at the barn. She got away from us. She had a good horse. I
have another plan. Go back
to the hideout, I'll come by tonight. This is Dr. Selsby. Your daughter wishes to tell you
that she will be home late. A little accident. Not too bad. I'll bring it back a little later. Who brought me here? Prospectors. Lucky they saw you,
an artery was hit. You could have lost
a lot of blood. It's over, soon this wound
will not be seen anymore. I thank them, but... Did they talk about money? Not a word. I was going to the bank to deposit $3,000. Gone! Are you Gentry?
We've crossed the border.
Phil told me to give you this. He wanted to come personally,
but he's being hunted. Are you Gat Ganns? That's what they call me. We always work together. Did Phil tell you what I wanted? He just told me there would be
a fight. How much do you want
for the job? What is the job? A guy to eliminate. We'll settle for
with the amount of money we have for Phil. I'll introduce you to my guys. - Where is your father?
- He's making dinner. Where are the guys? Near the corral. S
pad, go home,
you've got work to do! Butch, this is Gat Ganns
and his friend Dusty. They're going to stay with us
for a while. I'll introduce you to the others. They will work with us. Tomorrow night, you'll be in charge
the Winters' herd. You will take him across the valley. There we can feed him. You two will watch over
the house. Winters will come out when the cattle
escape. That's our guy...
you know what to do. Make sure it's not
the girl. We'll leave at midnight. Show them their bunks. - T
here's no more food.
- Here's 50 dollars. Tomorrow night we'll take care of
the Winters' cattle, - I'm counting on you.
- I'll be there. I'll go with you,
I'm going to get my things. Hitch up the cart,
you're going to do the shopping. Is this Winters dangerous? I've been trying unsuccessfully for two years
to buy his ranch, now I'm going to help myself. - Does he have any family?
- A daughter. I'll take the girl and the ranch. Like in the novels,
you eliminate the father, you marry the daughter
and keep the ranch. Take the usual route. Don't ask any questions
and don't talk to anyone. If you're not back before dark,
you're going to get hurt! Would you like to come in, doctor? I have to go back to the city. - I lost the money!
- Don't think about it anymore. I was worried about you. By selling the rest of the animals,
we'll be okay for a while. Tell me what happened to you? This is the last thing
I can remember. Who found you in that barn? I don't know. According to the doctor,
prospect
ors. Quite a race, isn't it? Let's get some rest. I knew you would save me. Don't worry, it's over. You are safe. I know, but I'm thinking about something else. About what I'm going to get when I get home. - Butch is going to beat me.
- I'll have an explanation. It won't do any good,
no one can stop it. Let's go get the supplies,
when we get back I'll explain it to him. Don't worry,
your father won't beat you. Not a moment too soon,
I was about to go looking for you. Where is the cart?
What happ
ened to it? The horses got carried away,
I tried to stop them - but the cart is ruined.
- And the provisions? On the mule. The change. To the house! I knew he wouldn't be able to hold
the carriage. I've seen this guy somewhere before, but I don't know where. I've drawn up some more... Touch the kid again
and I'll break your bones. All right, let me. He won't do it again. You are my only friend,
and you fight well. I bet Butch has no teeth. Gentry gave the order
not to leave the ranch. And tonigh
t we're supposed to kill Winters. How do we warn him? The only solution is to do it
on the spot. Remember,
don't pick the wrong target. I'll tell the guys to go. Give me your knife. - What's going on, Faye?
- Come here, Dad. We threw this out the window. This is a receipt. Our money has been
deposited in the bank. Don't turn on the light. They are waiting for you outside
to kill you. Your life is more important than the cattle. Let them go with.
"A friend." They're stealing the herd! I can't...
They are waiting for you,
you don't have a chance. I saw the light. They must have read the message. I don't think they're here. That's strange. At least I got the cattle.
Let's go home. They're gone...
with our cattle! Don't worry, Dad, with the money in the bank,
we can see it coming. Go to Winters and ask for
for a job. He'll tell you about the cattle rustling. Offer to help him find it,
he will hire you. And once you're out of the city... an accident happens so fast. Good idea, Gentry. You k
now how to fix things. Let's go, Dusty,
let's get this over with. Are you the boss here? Don't you need help? You could have helped me last night, I had all my animals stolen. They must not be
be far away. Cows eat too.
Why not track them? The sheriff will be here this afternoon. We'll make you an offer. If we bring the herd back,
will you hire us? Without hesitation. Once spotted,
you're going to get the sheriff. For the thieves, we don't know,
but we'll bring the animals back. It's okay, I'll
saddle my horse
right away. Is your father here? He's at the corral. I'd like to see him. The cattle were stolen from me last night, and I hired these two men
to find them. It's dangerous, I don't want you
you to leave. We will protect him. We'll track them down and your father
will notify the sheriff. I understand. Don't worry,
I might be late, but I'll be back. I hope they succeed. If your father is slow to return,
I'll be happy to keep you company. Thank you, but I'm not afraid and then I don
't want to
to bother you. On the contrary. It will be a real pleasure. This is the letter we found on
found on Ganns. Hi, Gentry, meet Gat Ganns.... Gat is a real tough guy,
this poster proves it. Gentry...
damn snake! I don't know how to thank you,
what would I have become without you? We are happy
to be able to help you. But now,
what are we going to do? I've got it! You tell Gentry
that Mr. Winters is dead. If he wants proof,
show him Ganns' grave. Get out of here before you eat! Dusty kept t
he shovel,
but if you want... - Where is he?
- He's crossed the border. The sooner we get out of here,
the better. - You want your money?
- That's why I'm here. The bank is closed,
you'll get the money tomorrow morning. That's fine.
I'll be at the Winters' tonight. Details to be worked out. - Don't let the girl see you.
- Nobody will see me. I have good news. The Winters' ranch
will soon be mine. The old man is dead. Plus we're going to earn
5,000 dollars in bonuses. Gat Ganns is at the Winters'
,
he's coming back here tomorrow morning. He's worth $5,000,
dead or alive. A dead man doesn't talk. I'll take care of it. You or someone else,
get the job done. Pee Wee, let's get out of here! We have to warn our friend. What are you doing here? They decided to kill you
when you arrive tomorrow morning. Gentry wants the bounty back. Double play? Don't worry, I'm not
wanted and they won't get me. Aunt Martha's bag. She gave it to me before she died. Yes, Butch's wife. My only friend, with you. N
ow I remember,
they worked for my father. Did Martha tell you about your father? He's dead, Butch is not
my real father. She left me a letter
for when I grow up. Where is it? I have it with me,
because Butch wanted to kill me, I'm never going back there again. I'm going to open it. Maybe it's about both of us.
both of us. My dear boy, your real name is Jim Eden. Your father and brother
were killed by Gentry when you were still a baby. Don't judge me too harshly. Aunt Martha. Jim, do you understa
nd? You are my brother! My little brother. Great! Actually, that doesn't surprise me. I've suspected Gentry
for a long time. But I had no proof. Years ago,
after the Eden murder, we suspected him
that he was the mastermind of the gang. We could never prove it. After reading this letter, I have no doubt
about his guilt. We know enough now. - Why wait?
- Let's leave it to Ted, he will signal us. It's Gentry. Whatever happens... Don't move. I don't know how to tell you... but this poster speaks for
itself. This is the man who accompanies
my father! - A killer!
- And that's not all. The word is out in town
that we have found... your father... Don't cry, Fay. I'll take care of you. I have loved you since
the first day. I'm begging you... I'm crazy about you,
I'll give you everything! Stop it! I want you to marry me. Don't touch me! Let go of her, Gentry. What did you do to my father? He's safe with the sheriff. I'm here to arrest this man
for murder. My name is Ted Eden. You murdered my fat
her,
twelve years ago. You left me for dead, but I am alive
and I have you at last. He's crazy. This poster proves that he is lying. Call the sheriff,
Miss Winters. Get me the sheriff's
Sheriff's office. You're being brave with your gun. A rope or a bullet,
is still too good for you. Your father is here.
He's fine. We're on our way. That was your daughter...
let's hurry. When Dusty arrives,
send him to the safe house. I'm fine, honey,
don't worry. Dusty, follow me. It's Ganns,
he's made like a r
at! Hand me a gun. Listen to me, Gentry. Twelve years ago,
you killed my father, you separated me from my brother and you destroyed my childhood. I should make you pay
for all this. But I don't want
to get my hands dirty. Justice will take care of you. Ready, guys,
we're making a killing. It's Gentry! Hands up! Where is Ganns? Inside. Since the time,
I finally got you! Just in time,
little brother. What are you thinking, Jim? We're getting our ranch back. He says when you get married, you'll nee
d more room. He has already thought of everything! Of course, and you'd better accept
his proposal, because that's the only one he'll do to you. What is my little brother saying? What you don't have the courage
to tell him. I'm going to blush. There's reason to, since Fay accepts your
your proposal. Now you're both blushing.
both of you. Your brother needs
a good lesson. A good beating, yes.
