04:24 You've done an excellent job, Warden.
04:26 And rest assured that our superiors in Washington will hear of it.
04:29 Without your cooperation, we never could have brought it off.
04:31 Uh-huh. When you're passing out thanks, you better throw a few to Mr. Randall.
04:35 Frankly, a day didn't go by when I didn't expect to have his body found.
04:38 Mr. Randall knows what he's doing.
04:40 And he's being well paid for it.
04:42 He should be. If he can turn up the $50,000 that Dunn stole, he's worth a lot more than you're giving him.
04:47 Fortunately, Mr. Randall believes in helping his government, Warden.
04:50 Tell me something. What happens if Dunn finds out why Randall engineered this escape?
04:55 Then Randall's in trouble.
04:57 He better just hope that we're close enough to come to his aid.
04:59 Well, if we don't get started, we'll have trouble following him.
05:02 All right. There'll be a trail of that.
05:05 Now, thanks again, Warden. You'll hear from us.
05:12 (HORSE GALLOPING)
05:14 (WHISTLING)
05:25 Tom? Tom?
05:40 Oh, Tom!
05:42 It's all right, honey. It's all right.
05:44 (PANTING)
05:46 Are you all right? Oh, I'm fine, honey. Just fine.
05:49 Tom. Hey, excuse me. I hate to butt in, but...
05:54 we ought to be putting a few miles on us in that prison before sunup.
05:57 This is Josh Randall. Margaret, my wife.
06:01 How do you do, ma'am? You bring those things?
06:05 Oh, yes. Just like you said. The clothes are inside.
06:09 Good.
06:11 And the horse is around back. Oh, I got a pack out of them.
06:14 I'm afraid these clothes will be a little big for you, Tom.
06:23 You've lost so much weight. Don't you worry about that.
06:26 Oh, there's water in that bucket there. Okay.
06:33 (PANTING)
06:35 You're not gonna regret getting me out of there, Josh. You'll see.
06:45 Yeah? You keep telling me that.
06:49 When do you suppose I'm gonna get a look at that money?
06:51 When we get to it.
06:53 Where is it? Don't you worry about that.
06:56 I'll lead. You follow.
07:00 What are you gonna do with your share of the money when you pick it up?
07:03 Where are you gonna go? Go to Mexico.
07:05 How do I look to you now, honey? Oh, better. Much better.
07:11 Might be a good idea to bury these. Okay.
07:14 Listen, Tom, which direction are we gonna be traveling?
07:19 North. How long is it gonna take to get there?
07:22 I don't know. A couple of days, not much more.
07:24 Annie, would you bring those horses around the front now?
07:27 We're gonna have to move out fast.
07:30 (HORSE SNORTING)
07:32 -Randall? -Hmm?
07:36 -I sure hope I'm right about you. -Yeah? How's that?
07:39 I hope you don't try any funny business.
07:41 I mean, I hope you don't stand in the way of me and Margaret getting away in the clear.
07:45 Because if you do, I'll have to kill you.
07:48 And it won't be fast.
07:51 (HORSE SNORTING)
07:53 -Jennings. -Over here.
08:06 North.
08:17 He's doing well, aren't you, Mr. Randall?
08:20 Better than a bloodhound.
08:22 Hold up, will you?
08:36 Well, what's the matter?
08:43 Listen, Tom, why don't we stop here for the night?
08:46 She's about ready to drop.
08:48 We gotta get to the money first, Josh.
08:50 Then we can rest.
08:52 -When's that gonna be? -I don't know. A day, two days.
08:56 Honey, the money'll still be there.
08:58 It might not be. Somebody could have found it.
09:01 Well, you don't stop and give these horses a rest, they're not gonna make it.
09:04 You hear me?
09:06 All right.
09:09 I will rest here.
09:11 We'll leave early tomorrow.
09:13 Real early. Come on.
09:16 (HORSE SNORTING)
09:18 (COUGHING)
09:29 Tom?
09:35 Honey, from here in, there won't be anything you want you can't have.
09:41 All I ever wanted was you.
09:43 Me? I'm nothing.
09:45 I never gave you nothing, ever.
09:47 Oh, it'll be different now.
09:49 You'll see. It'll be different.
09:52 I'm through with being hungry.
09:54 I'm through with seeing you look at things you can't have.
09:57 With that money, you'll be... (COUGHING)
10:00 Oh, please, Tom, try and get some sleep.
10:02 (COUGHING)
10:04 Come on, darling.
10:06 All I ever wanted was to have you with me. That's all.
10:13 Come on, go to sleep, dear. You need it.
10:16 Oh, yes, that's better now.
10:20 That's much better.
10:22 Just sleep.
10:24 (SIGHS)
10:26 Why'd you do it?
10:49 Hmm?
10:51 Why'd you help him break out?
10:54 Was it the money?
10:56 Part of it.
10:58 And the rest?
11:00 He was sick. The prison wasn't doing him any good.
11:04 A good deed, hmm?
11:06 Not quite.
11:08 You can put it down that way if you want to.
11:11 How sick is he?
11:14 Has he seen a doctor?
11:20 (CREAKING)
11:22 Mm-hmm.
11:26 Josh, how long?
11:28 Could happen tonight.
11:31 Or you.
11:34 There's nothing that can be done?
11:39 Huh.
11:41 What... What was it like in prison?
11:49 Not bad. You see what it did to him?
11:52 Yeah. He's changed.
11:55 The money means more than ever now.
12:00 But it doesn't to you, huh?
12:03 No. It never did.
12:06 We were never poor.
12:10 Not in the things that really counted.
12:13 Well, he seemed to think so.
12:16 He's wrong.
12:18 So very, very wrong.
12:21 Hey, tell me something.
12:25 How long you two been married?
12:27 Oh, November would be 11 years.
12:30 Ooh. Must have been very young.
12:33 No. Just in love.
12:35 Very much in love.
12:43 I don't think he understood just how much that was worth.

13:49 (HORSE NEIGHING)
13:51 There it is. I can almost reach out and touch it.
14:10 You got a pretty well plan, haven't you?
14:12 You bet I did.
14:14 They got me, but not the money.
14:16 A few more years out of my life didn't matter.
14:19 Not when I knew what was waiting.
14:21 What I could give to Margaret.
14:23 I never asked.
14:25 No, you never did.
14:27 But I saw the look on your face.
14:30 I could see it in your eyes.
14:32 Every time we passed a store window,
14:34 there'd be a pretty dress hanging in the window.
14:37 You wanting it.
14:39 Me with no money to buy it.
14:41 Tom, did you ever stop to ask me what I was thinking?
14:45 Did you ever stop to think that looking wasn't wanting?
14:50 Or that this rainbow was yours, not mine?
14:54 Well, Margaret... (COUGHING)
14:56 Tom? Tom.
14:58 It's all right, honey.
15:03 That Mexican sun will dry it out.
15:06 Come on, we got a lot of ground to cover.
15:08 Josh, help me.
15:14 Please help me to help him.
15:17 (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
15:20 (HORSE GALLOPING)
15:23 (HORSE GALLOPING)
15:51 That's it. Just on up ahead.
15:53 Easy, boy.
15:55 (GRUNTING)
15:57 Josh?
16:03 Hmm?
16:04 Josh, help me.
16:06 How?
16:07 Make him give the money back.
16:09 I don't think he wants to do that.
16:13 Well, talk to him.
16:14 Make him know it's the right thing to do, please.
16:17 Margaret, it's not as easy as it sounds.
16:20 As long as that money's there,
16:23 there'll be a wall I can never get over.
16:26 Margaret, listen to me.
16:28 There's something I got to tell you.
16:30 And I want you to listen to me,
16:32 and I want you to do what I tell you. You hear me?
16:34 Come on.
16:40 Tom, please, forget the money.
16:42 Let's get out of here now.
16:44 What have you been saying to her, huh?
16:47 Well, what have you told her?
16:50 Truth?
16:51 Listen, honey, I took that money for you.
16:58 And me.
17:00 I went to jail so that we could have the things we wanted.
17:04 Now, I sat there in that... that filth,
17:08 and the only thing that kept me from going crazy
17:10 was the thought of the security that that money would buy.
17:14 Ain't nobody gonna take it away from me.
17:17 Tom, as long as you have that money, we can never be together.
17:20 Not really. It will always be between us.
17:23 No. You'll never know freedom.
17:25 And I'll never know hunger, either.
17:27 You'll run the rest of your life.
17:29 You just don't know.
17:31 Tom, I want you to be well.
17:34 Can that money buy you new lungs?
17:37 You told her. You did to her.
17:43 I said I'd kill you.
17:45 [coughing]
17:48 All right.
18:03 I'll get it back.
18:07 [music playing]
18:10 Wait here.
18:21 [music playing]
18:24 [coughing]
18:50 [music playing]
18:53 Here, Josh. You take it. Do whatever you want with it.
19:10 Just as you promised, Mr. Randall.
19:19 You remember us, Don?
19:21 You lived up to our every expectation, Randall.
19:25 You left the trail pretty as a picture to follow.
19:28 Yeah.
19:30 Yeah, I guess I did it there.
19:34 You, Josh?
19:36 What have you done?
19:38 We'll take the money.
19:40 No, stay where you are, Randall.
19:43 In the eyes of the law, you're an escaped prisoner, just like he is.
19:48 Huh?
19:50 You're a little stupid.
19:52 In other words, you didn't have any intention to take that money back, right?
19:56 That's very good, Mr. Randall. That's what I like. A man with perception.
20:00 Oh, I want you to know we started out on the side of the law, but...
20:03 Well, it was a long ride, and we got started talking about how little the government pays us.
20:08 Do you have any idea how long it would take us to earn $50,000?
20:12 Years and years.
20:14 No. You three tried to kill us before Mr. Dunn got the money.
20:18 It's perfect.
20:20 You know, this... this man wanted to take it back.
20:23 He wanted to return the money.
20:25 Oh, really?
20:27 You're reforming Mr. Dunn?
20:29 Just take it and leave us alone.
20:31 Oh, I'm afraid that wouldn't work at all.
20:34 You see, there'd still be you, and you could talk.
20:37 Then my friend here and I would get into trouble, and we wouldn't like that.
20:41 All right, Dunn, let's have it.
20:43 Come on.
20:45 Get out of here.

23:02 I don't think it could have ended any other way.
23:05 Well, I want you to know I'm sorry, Margaret.
23:11 No.
23:13 It wasn't your fault.
23:15 He was already dead inside.
23:19 He's free now.
