Key Discussion Points and Plot Highlights

1. Setting the Scene

• [00:24 – 02:45]
  • The episode opens with an atmospheric description of the Overland Mail route: a hard-scrabble passage through New Mexico’s badlands, rife with dangers from both outlaws and the elements.
  • Introduces the Rawhide Pass relay station—a lonely waystation far from civilization, run by Tom Owens (Jeffrey Hunter) and his older colleague, Sam.

2. Arrival of the Mysterious Stranger

• [02:45 – 07:15]
  • The stagecoach arrives, bringing Vinnie Holt (Donna Reed) and a baby, Callie, seeking transport east.
  • Tension arises as company rules prevent passengers with children under 12 from traveling due to heightened bandit/Indian threats. Holt fiercely argues to stay onboard but is forced to remain at the station.
  • Memorable moment:
    • “I'm not Mrs. Holt. I’m Ms. Tom.” – Vinnie Holt corrects Tom Owens ([04:30])

3. Impending Danger: News of Zimmerman

• [07:15 – 08:49]
  • Soldiers warn the station about Ray Zimmerman, a dangerous convict who've escaped alongside three others and murdered another driver, Johnny Madden.

4. The Takeover

• [10:29 – 15:00]
  • Zimmerman arrives at the station, pretending to be a deputy, then quickly reveals his true identity. He and his gang take Tom, Sam, and Vinnie hostage in a brutal and tense standoff.
  • Quote:
    • "All right, boys, reach for it." – Zimmerman ([11:18])

5. Plans and Deceptions

• [15:00 – 17:29]
  • Zimmerman interrogates Tom about the schedule and gold shipments. Realizing the danger, Tom and Vinnie are forced to play along, posing as husband and wife—their only leverage for survival.
  • Quote:
    • “Can't you understand, Miss Holt, that they'll be nice to you as long as they think you're important to me?” – Tom Owens ([17:09])

6. Tension Among the Captors

• [18:07 – 20:37]
  • The outlaws argue over trust, alcohol, and who is really in charge, adding a sense of unpredictability and volatility to the situation. Zimmerman is ruthless, pragmatic, and always suspicious.

7. Vinnie's Vulnerability and Her Strength

• [21:12 – 22:13]
  • Vinnie reveals to Tom that the baby is not her daughter, but her niece—her family was killed during their trek West. Tom expresses empathy, hinting at a budding respect.
  • Quote:
    • "I guess you got reason enough not to like men." – Tom Owens ([21:59])

8. A Daring Plan

• [22:16 – 27:19]
  • Tom and Vinnie plot to covertly contact the next stagecoach, hoping to get help. A tense dinner with the arriving stage passengers (including a suspicious sheriff and a gun salesman) provides an opportunity for subtle resistance. Their efforts are almost exposed, ratcheting the suspense.

9. Desperate Measures: The Escape Attempt

• [34:10 – 42:29]
  • Locked in a room, Tom and Vinnie attempt to dig through an adobe wall to retrieve Tom’s lost revolver hidden by the corral. The tension heightens as their escape plan quickly deteriorates.
  • Quote:
    • “Digging our hands raw like a couple of rats. For what? For 24 hours... We’d let those murderers walk all over us.” – Vinnie Holt ([42:29])

10. Showdown and Resolution

• [44:44 – 48:16]
  • The climax unfolds as chaos erupts among Zimmerman’s gang, giving Tom and Vinnie a final chance to act. A frantic search for the revolver ends with Vinnie using it to protect Tom, culminating in a standoff with Zimmerman.
  • Notable exchange:
    • “Tom, are you all right?” – Vinnie Holt ([48:16])
    • “I was worried about your being able to handle a gun. Thank you, Vinnie.” – Tom Owens ([48:25])

11. Conclusion and Final Bow

• [49:14 – 49:47]
  • With the danger passed and the next stage approaching, Vinnie elects to stay with Tom rather than leave immediately, hinting at a new beginning together. The legendary “Lux Radio Theatre” bow wraps up the production.

Edu presents Hollywood.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Leber Brothers Company, the makers of Deluxe Radio Theater, starring Donna Reed and Jeffrey Hunter in Rawhide. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cumming. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight we present Academy Award winner Donna Reed and the talented young actor Jeffrey Hunter in an exciting saga of the Old West. Rawhide when epoxy screen hits. It tells the story of two strangers who meet at a lonely stagecoach station and are held as hostages by an escaped criminal. A hundred years ago, the territory of New Mexico included much of the area now known as Arizona and New Mexico. But a hundred years ago, the hardy traveler thought of the territory as a vast wasteland separating California from the east. A wasteland of hostile Indians and ruthless bandits and of something known to its friends as the jackass Mail. A cloud of dust moving across the arid plateau, upward through mountain passes, downward along icy streams, endlessly across the desert. A plunging, pounding, panting thing of mule flesh and wooden iron and human determination. That was the Oberlin Mail. San Francisco to St. Louis in 25 days. 2700 miles in 25 days and 25 nights. The shortest, fastest, back breakingest ride you could buy for $200 gold meals included. The eating part of it came at the various relay stations along the route, at lonely cabins and adobe posts where fresh teams were hitched to the stage. Rawhide Pass was one such station.

[Tom Owens]

Hey, Tom, that's a sage. I heard it, man. Well, going to wait out there all day? Answer them. All right, all right. Satisfied? Everything according to company rules.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, it's a good rule, let me tell you.

[Tom Owens]

Without us blowing that bugle, how's the stage going to know Everything's all right in here. Maybe there's Injuns or road agents hiding to ambush them. I get the point, Sam. I got it six months ago. Well, you sure don't act like it. You think I'm getting a kick out of learning to use the stage business? Oh, come on, let's get them mules ready. Hey, Tim, come. Well, hobby you shall not. There's hungry. All right, folks, 30 minutes for pool to wash him up. Scotch? You haven't got a baby in there.

[Vinnie Holt]

Know anything else that sounds like this?

[Tom Owens]

Well, I hope not. I mean, no, ma', am, I don't.

[Narrator/Announcer]

This is Tom Owens, Mrs. Holt. He does most of the cooking at this station. Maybe he can help you.

[Tom Owens]

I'd be glad to, Mrs. Holt.

[Vinnie Holt]

Have you got some milk?

[Tom Owens]

Milk?

[Vinnie Holt]

Of course not. How about some dry oatmeal?

[Narrator/Announcer]

All right, folks?

[Tom Owens]

Well, I think so, Miss Holt.

[Vinnie Holt]

All right. Mix it with some water. Maybe I can get Callie to drink it.

[Tom Owens]

I'll fix it as soon as we Change the team, Mrs. Holt.

[Vinnie Holt]

Thank you. And if you don't mind.

[Tom Owens]

Yes?

[Vinnie Holt]

I'm not Mrs. Holt. I'm Ms. Tom.

[Tom Owens]

Hey, Tom. Now listen here, boy. I can't change those mules by myself. All right, Tom, Put your eyes back in your head. You've seen a pretty woman before. Or with all them stories about the St. Louis Gals. Jest stories. Come on, Tom. All right, Sam.

[Zimmerman]

All right.

[Tom Owens]

Let's get those mules. More coffee, Miss, Uh, ma'? Am?

[Vinnie Holt]

No, thank you.

[Tom Owens]

I bet you was never fed a meal by a cook wearing a six shooter before, eh? Ma'?

[Vinnie Holt]

Am, you call this a meal?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Won't do any good complaining. Tom here is the son of J.C. owens. So anything Tom does has got to be right.

[Vinnie Holt]

Who's J.C. owens?

[Tom Owens]

Superintendent of the Eastern Division of the Overland Navy. Well, folks, we better be getting back to the stage. Hold on. Wait a minute. Listen, I'mma get my rifle. What is it?

[Vinnie Holt]

Now Hush, C. It's all right.

[Tom Owens]

It's all right. Damn. Forget the rifle. Who is it? It's just government troops. Looks like a patrol. Can we help you, Lieutenant?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Hope so.

[Tom Owens]

Where's the driver in this base?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, he's a. You just pulled in from the west. Half hour ago. You see four men on the road? Nope. Nobody.

[Tom Owens]

Who you looking for, Lieutenant?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Fellow named Rape. Zimmerman. Zimmerman?

[Tom Owens]

Zimmerman? I thought they had him in prison over at Huntsville.

[Narrator/Announcer]

He broke out day before he was

[Tom Owens]

due to be hanged. He and three others.

[Narrator/Announcer]

They held up Johnny Madden's stage outside of Armecia.

[Tom Owens]

Johnny Madden? What? Well, he drove through here just yesterday.

[Narrator/Announcer]

That's right. And today he's dead.

[Tom Owens]

Johnny Madden.

[Narrator/Announcer]

The oldest driver on the line next to me.

[Vinnie Holt]

But why?

[Tom Owens]

Why did they do it? Johnny's stage wasn't carrying a gold shipment.

[Narrator/Announcer]

They must have thought it was. Anyway, my patrol is here to give you escort as far as Mama Seal. That suits me.

[Tom Owens]

All right, everybody, climb in.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Oh, Miss Holt.

[Vinnie Holt]

Yes?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Sorry, but you and your baby will

[Tom Owens]

have to stay here.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Company rule, ma'.

[Tom Owens]

Am.

[Vinnie Holt]

What rule? I paid my fare. It took all the money I could scrape up. Now I'm going through to St. Louis.

[Tom Owens]

On the next stage, maybe. Ma', am, you see, the company rule says that when There's a danger of Indians or road agents. The States can't carry any passengers under the age of 12. Of course, if you want to leave your baby here with us.

[Vinnie Holt]

Cat. Leave? Well, I guess not. We are going to get on that stage, both of us.

[Tom Owens]

Hey, Sam, get the ladies bags off the stage.

[Narrator/Announcer]

All right.

[Vinnie Holt]

No, don't you dare.

[Tom Owens]

Miss Hope, there's no use of you arguing.

[Vinnie Holt]

Get out of my way.

[Tom Owens]

Ms. Hope, please.

[Vinnie Holt]

Get your hands off and let me go.

[Tom Owens]

All right, Scott, get that stage going and get out of here.

[Vinnie Holt]

No, no, I. I hope you're proud of what you've done, Mr. Owen.

[Tom Owens]

I'm awful sorry, ma', am, but you see, rules are rules. I think these are all your bags.

[Vinnie Holt]

This is Hope. Yes, Hope, if you please.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Huh?

[Tom Owens]

How's that? Never mind, Sam, you look after the mules, and I'll carry your things inside me. Oh, Sam, this is you. How about putting your eyes back in your head,

[Vinnie Holt]

Mr. Owens?

[Tom Owens]

Yes, ma'. Am.

[Vinnie Holt]

Well, I hardly imagined the son of the superintendent of the division would be washing dishes.

[Tom Owens]

Well, Sam and I take turns, See, it's all part of my education. Education? Yeah. Six months working the relay station, six months riding boot on the stage, and a year in the division office ready for any job they got.

[Vinnie Holt]

And you're six months here.

[Tom Owens]

That's up next week. But is there something you wanted?

[Vinnie Holt]

Yes. Is there some place around here I can take a bath?

[Tom Owens]

Well, there's a basin and pitcher of water in your room.

[Vinnie Holt]

I said a bath.

[Tom Owens]

All right. Come on. See that thing across the yard that Sam's pumping water into the horse trough? Yeah. Now, you just see that you don't use any soap in it.

[Vinnie Holt]

Is that where you take a bath?

[Tom Owens]

No. There's a hot spring in the canyon, back of the station.

[Vinnie Holt]

Ah, that's more like it.

[Tom Owens]

But you're going to have to watch out for snakes.

[Vinnie Holt]

Oh, then maybe I'd better borrow your revolver.

[Tom Owens]

All right.

[Vinnie Holt]

And maybe your gun belt, too.

[Tom Owens]

That's not a bad idea. You can't hit them. At least you can scare them to death.

[Vinnie Holt]

I can hit them. Don't you worry about that.

[Tom Owens]

Hey, come on. I'm coming, Sam. I'm coming. You oughtn't to let her take your gun. Oh, she says she knows how to use it. Uhhuh. Maybe too well. Sam, I don't figure her for a lady road agent. What do you figure her for? Well, I don't know. She sure knows what she wants, you know. Took over my bed, a bedroom, put my gear out, made it A nursery for her and the baby. Hey, what's that? What's what? I thought I heard something.

[Narrator/Announcer]

There.

[Tom Owens]

That's it. Yeah, somebody's coming up the gully. I see him. They're just rounding them borders. Tom, there's that spare rifle in the stable.

[Zimmerman]

Get it.

[Tom Owens]

Stay out of sight and cover me. You be careful, Tom.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Hello.

[Tom Owens]

Morning. You the nation keeper? I'm his helper. Oh. Where's the boss police around here?

[Zimmerman]

Just two of you do, huh?

[Tom Owens]

That's right.

[Zimmerman]

I guess you wonder who I am. Or maybe this badge will help.

[Tom Owens]

Oh, Deputy sheriff. Yeah.

[Zimmerman]

Deputy Sheriff Miles from Huntsville.

[Tom Owens]

Well, I'm glad to know you. Owens is my name.

[Zimmerman]

Harry.

[Tom Owens]

Suppose you could pick me up with a meal? Sure can. It's all right. It's the sheriff. You can come out now. All right.

[Zimmerman]

Not taking any chances, I see. Well, that's the way to stay alive in this country.

[Tom Owens]

Especially with Ray Zimmerman on the loose.

[Zimmerman]

Yeah, especially with Zimmerman.

[Tom Owens]

Howdy, Sheriff. You stay with your horse.

[Zimmerman]

As soon as I'm off him, you can't. All right, boys, reach for it.

[Zimmerman]

There's a rifle on the wall. Use it to cover these fellows. Yes, have us you search the other room. See if there's anybody else around.

[Tom Owens]

You bet.

[Zimmerman]

Can't see you. Put our horses in the corral. Hide the saddles.

[Tom Owens]

Sure. Good idea, boss.

[Zimmerman]

And now, Mr. Owens. And Mr. What's your name?

[Tom Owens]

Name card.

[Zimmerman]

All right. I now want some answers from you two and I want them right. What time's the next stage do here? I said, when

[Tom Owens]

is one from the east?

[Zimmerman]

What time down the stage from the west?

[Tom Owens]

Tomorrow afternoon.

[Zimmerman]

Uh huh. How much gold is carrying? How much?

[Tom Owens]

None. That shipment went through today. Never would stop it.

[Zimmerman]

He'll get more than that the next time he lies to me. The California stage comes through tomorrow morning. It's carrying 100,000 on gold bars consigned by Crocker Mining Company in Sacramento to the government men of New York.

[Tom Owens]

And why Ascot?

[Zimmerman]

Because I'm testing you and letting you know I got everything figured.

[Tom Owens]

Hey, Zim, come look.

[Zimmerman]

Oh, what is it?

[Tom Owens]

Take a look. Ain't I fetchin in this here bonnet.

[Zimmerman]

Grats, keep him covered.

[Tom Owens]

Yes, sir. Sam. Well, now, tell me how poor that'd be a rifle about in the stable, isn't it? Yeah, I've been thinking about that. Hey, you. What you whispering about? Well, that's one. Nothing at all. I know. I'm going to make a break for it. Oh, not now. Later. Owen.

[Zimmerman]

Od. Where is she?

[Tom Owens]

Where's who?

[Zimmerman]

The woman. Your wife.

[Tom Owens]

I ain't got no wife.

[Zimmerman]

All right then she's Owen. Wife. Where is she? Where's your wife?

[Tom Owens]

That's a good question, since I'm not married.

[Zimmerman]

Don't lie to me. Now tell me.

[Tom Owens]

Sam. Sam's getting away. Look out, Sam. Oh, Sam. Well, that's what you wanted me to do. Wanted him? Now, how about this other one?

[Zimmerman]

No. We need him. Gratz. Take him to the bedroom. Lock him up. Yeah, boy. You go first, Mr. Owens.

[Tom Owens]

All right,

[Zimmerman]

Sevis, right after you fired, did you hear a woman scream?

[Tom Owens]

Hey, come to think of it, I did. Damn. A baby. Yeah.

[Zimmerman]

Here they come. Yancey's bringing them in.

[Tom Owens]

Hey, look at what I found, boss. I found this rifle out on the stable. And then I see this lady and this baby cutting across the arms.

[Vinnie Holt]

Murderers. I saw you kill Sam.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Good.

[Zimmerman]

Then you know what you're up against. All right, T. Take her back and lock her up with her husband.

[Vinnie Holt]

My husband?

[Tom Owens]

Why, sure. Why don't you like him since you seen me? Come on.

[Vinnie Holt]

Keep your hands off me.

[Tom Owens]

Oh, touchy, ain't she? I like him with Spongebob. I ain't doing nothing, Jim. All right, get in there. I was hoping you'd get away. If you hear those shots back in

[Vinnie Holt]

the canyon, how long do you think it takes for a bath?

[Tom Owens]

Wait a minute. What happened to my gun and the cartridge bell?

[Vinnie Holt]

I Dropped him.

[Tom Owens]

You dropped him?

[Vinnie Holt]

Yes, I. Well, I was so startled when I heard those shots. I wonder I didn't drop Callie too.

[Tom Owens]

Where's the gun now?

[Vinnie Holt]

I don't know. I think. I think just the other side of that pile of firewood along the corral.

[Tom Owens]

A lot of good it's gonna do us out there. Us?

[Vinnie Holt]

I'm not in this thing with you,

[Tom Owens]

Miss Holt or Mrs. Holt or whatever your name is.

[Vinnie Holt]

Miss Vinnie Holt. And while we're on the subject, Mr. Owens. What right have you to tell those men you're my husband?

[Tom Owens]

I didn't tell them. That's Zimmerman's idea. This just might be the thing that'll save your skin.

[Vinnie Holt]

Oh, you're sure it's not your own skin you're worried about?

[Tom Owens]

Well, sure I am. Killing me doesn't seem to be part of their plan. At least not yet. See, they leave me alive until that stage comes through with that big gold ship. And I'm gonna be their decoy.

[Vinnie Holt]

What's that got to do with them thinking I'm your wife? No. I'm staying out of your mess. I'm going to tell them the truth.

[Tom Owens]

Now, look. Can't you understand, Miss Holt. That they'll be nice to you as long as they think you're important to me?

[Vinnie Holt]

Until they don't need you any longer. But after they get the gold shipment.

[Tom Owens]

I'm just hoping we'll figure out something before then.

[Vinnie Holt]

And if we don't, then what happens?

[Tom Owens]

What do you think?

[Vinnie Holt]

I think I'd like to live. Even if it's just for another 24 hours.

[Narrator/Announcer]

It's late afternoon in the lonely station at Rawhide Pass. Where Benny and Tom are held prisoners. In the main room of the station, Zimmerman, Tevis, Yancy and Drax Wait impatiently. For the arrival of the stagecoach from the east.

[Zimmerman]

Habit.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah.

[Zimmerman]

Where'd you find the whiskey?

[Tom Owens]

Not in the cupboard.

[Zimmerman]

Put it back. Oh, Nazi. Right now. Oh, there's not gonna be any drinking. That goes for you too, Gratz. Yeah.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah.

[Zimmerman]

Did you hear that, Yancy?

[Tom Owens]

You know I ain't no drinking man, boss. All I ever done wrong in my whole life was to steal that horse. It wasn't for that. You and me'da never met.

[Zimmerman]

I regret it even more than you, mister. Just because you three busted out of jail along with me. That doesn't mean I picked you for this job. You just came along. And that's my bad luck.

[Tom Owens]

Now there's no call to talk. So honor is him. Everything's going just right.

[Zimmerman]

Is it? I Got down the yard. There's Todd's body laying there for the whole world to see. But if any of you got brains enough to go bury him. No, I gotta tell you everything.

[Tom Owens]

I'll bury him. I'll put up a nice little cross over. Are you crazy?

[Zimmerman]

All we need for the stagecoach to come along and see across. Grant. You go bury him. You're so dumb, you couldn't get any longer. Yes, him.

[Tom Owens]

I do it good.

[Zimmerman]

The rest of you keep a lookout for that stage from the east. Might come through here early.

[Tom Owens]

What you gonna do, Sam?

[Zimmerman]

Never mind. Owen. I don't remember seeing you wear a revolver. Where is it?

[Tom Owens]

My gun?

[Zimmerman]

Yes, your gun.

[Tom Owens]

It's in Tucson. I send it in. Defect.

[Zimmerman]

What was wrong with it?

[Tom Owens]

Broken fire. Intent.

[Zimmerman]

Mm. Mrs. Owens, I'm gonna have to look through your things.

[Vinnie Holt]

I'm not stopping you.

[Tom Owens]

Go ahead. Search the whole room if you want to. If you're lying to me, go ahead.

[Vinnie Holt]

Look, if we had a gun, we wouldn't be putting up with your bullying.

[Zimmerman]

That's the point, man. Owens.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah.

[Zimmerman]

When the stage from the east comes through, I want everything just as usual around here. You feed the passengers and the crew and get them on their way again with no question.

[Tom Owens]

They want to know where Sam is.

[Zimmerman]

You tell him he's gone to Tucson, not a Yuma. They had a bad tooth. He had to go to a dentist.

[Tom Owens]

I guess that'll work.

[Zimmerman]

It had better work. A lady here and a baby. They'll be counting on you to see that it does.

[Vinnie Holt]

Company rule.

[Tom Owens]

What are you talking about?

[Vinnie Holt]

Wonderful company rule. That was supposed to keep the baby and me out of danger. If you would let us go through on that stage, in another week, Callie would have been with her father's family, safe now.

[Tom Owens]

Now, that brings up something I've been meaning to ask you. Where is her father?

[Vinnie Holt]

Dead. Killed three months ago. Her mother, too.

[Tom Owens]

Oh, but I thought that she.

[Vinnie Holt]

I told you. I'm plain Jenny Hope. Callie isn't my baby. Her mother, Jeannie, was my sister. She married a gambler who got the gold fever. Just had to go to California.

[Tom Owens]

What took you out there?

[Vinnie Holt]

Jeannie wouldn't go without me. Now I'm going home without her.

[Tom Owens]

You say she and her husband were killed. How?

[Vinnie Holt]

Well, the genie was too pretty and Johnny was too jealous. One night, a drunken plane jumper took a fancy tour. And when the shooting was over, I was alone with Callie.

[Tom Owens]

Mm. Well, that explains some things.

[Vinnie Holt]

It does?

[Tom Owens]

Yeah. I guess you got reason enough not to like men.

[Vinnie Holt]

I don't. Is that the impression I give you sure do, Tom.

[Tom Owens]

That's a stage.

[Vinnie Holt]

There must be some way to get word to it.

[Tom Owens]

Now we got to be careful cuz everyone will be watching us like a hawk. Wait a minute. What's some paper and a pencil around here?

[Vinnie Holt]

It's on the bureau.

[Tom Owens]

Send. Here he is. BO AS Sheriff Mil get help and come back.

[Vinnie Holt]

Tom, you can't possibly flip that note to the stage driver you just said. They'll be watching you every instant and

[Tom Owens]

that may give you a chance. Here, hide this in your box. You be careful. If anything goes wrong, they'll shoot down everywhere.

[Vinnie Holt]

I know, but don't you say.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Owen.

[Zimmerman]

Why isn't that sage coming on in?

[Tom Owens]

They're waiting for me to answer him.

[Zimmerman]

All right then do it. Come on out here. Yancy.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah, boss?

[Zimmerman]

Go on back there and stay with the baby. Lock yourself in that room and keep her quiet.

[Tom Owens]

Sure I will. I just love baby. What about my wife?

[Zimmerman]

I was coming to her. Tevis?

[Tom Owens]

Yes, him.

[Zimmerman]

Take Mrs. Owens out the back way. Take her up in that canyon behind the station. Far enough so she can't yell?

[Tom Owens]

You bet. This is the kind of work I enjoy, gentlemen. You can't do that. Not with Tevis.

[Zimmerman]

Why not?

[Tom Owens]

You know why as well as I do. Just look at it.

[Zimmerman]

She'll be all right. But as long as you don't make any mistakes. Now where's your bugle?

[Tom Owens]

Hanging over there.

[Zimmerman]

All right, go get it.

[Tom Owens]

Tim. You told everybody what to do except me.

[Zimmerman]

Owens and his old friends Deputy Sheriff Miles. Owens. I said answer them.

[Tom Owens]

Hey Tom. Tom. You want something, David? Yes. What's happened to your cooking? Everything's cold and there's not much of it. Just didn't have time to fix it, that's all. Well, why not? I've been too busy. Oh, busy doing what?

[Zimmerman]

All right, Tom. I thought you told him, you know about. Yeah, about his toothache and having to go to the dentist in Tucson.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah, he told the sheriff. And you're staying on here to help out? Yeah, I. I asked him to.

[Zimmerman]

Mr. Pickard, what are you bound for?

[Tom Owens]

Oh, just traveling, Sheriff. Uh huh.

[Zimmerman]

What about you, Mr. Chickering?

[Narrator/Announcer]

I'm going to California.

[Tom Owens]

Hey, you know something, Sheriff? There's something about you that.

[Zimmerman]

Well, there is?

[Tom Owens]

Yeah, I keep thinking. Now, ain't I seen you somewhere before?

[Zimmerman]

Oh, maybe. You ever been to Huntsville?

[Tom Owens]

No, I never want to either. That's where the territorial prisoner is located, isn't it? The one that fellow Zimmerman broke out of. Yeah, that's the one. Mr. Pickett. I suppose, Sheriff, you must have known.

[Zimmerman]

Well, I. I saw him once or twice.

[Tom Owens]

Mr. Pickett's from the New York Herald, Sheriff. He's probably looking for a story.

[Zimmerman]

Oh, newspaper man, eh? You hear that, Tom? Maybe you could give Mr. Figg a story, huh?

[Tom Owens]

Oh, would you, Mr. Owens? Maybe something with flavor and excitement. I'm sorry, Mr. Figg. Nothing much happens around here.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Sheriff, about this fellow Zimmerman.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah, I understand it came from a pretty high toe saddler.

[Zimmerman]

That's right, he did. If you met him, you'd probably take him for a complete gentleman.

[Tom Owens]

You can call a murderer a gentleman.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, I heard he went wrong. Caught up some woman, a Creole from New Orleans.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah, to say she was a real looker. Then when caught her double dealing him with some other young fancy. Dad. Kill them both.

[Zimmerman]

You seem to know quite a bit about Mr. Figar. Well, don't forget I'm a newspaper man. Well, why don't you tell us the rest of the story?

[Narrator/Announcer]

I don't see what you can add to that story. Except when they capture him again and hang him.

[Zimmerman]

Mr. Chickering, what's your line of business?

[Narrator/Announcer]

I'm a drummer. Colt Firearms, Hartford, Connecticut.

[Zimmerman]

Oh, is that so? I hear Colt's getting out some new army models.

[Narrator/Announcer]

That's what I'm taking to California, I'll assure you.

[Zimmerman]

No, no, no, no, that's all right.

[Narrator/Announcer]

No trouble. Got my sample case right here.

[Tom Owens]

There.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Did you ever see such beauties?

[Tom Owens]

You mind if I handle one, Mr. Chickering? Tom, go right ahead.

[Narrator/Announcer]

We're proud of our product.

[Tom Owens]

Thank you. Nice balance.

[Narrator/Announcer]

If you want to test it. I've got ammunition out in the stage.

[Zimmerman]

You're an Excellent salesman, Mr. Chickering, but I don't think this is time for that.

[Tom Owens]

What was that?

[Zimmerman]

It's just a coyote.

[Tom Owens]

Like it came from the canyon.

[Zimmerman]

Well, it might have that. Tom. May I see the gun, please?

[Tom Owens]

Tom, he came from the canyon.

[Zimmerman]

It's only a coyote. The gun, Tom. Thank you.

[Tom Owens]

It's a spooky kind of noise, ain't it, girly?

[Vinnie Holt]

Yes.

[Tom Owens]

Is that why you shivering? It's cold stage. You'll be pulling out almost any time. Plenty moonlight so we can see it. Do you know what that coyote is howling about? He did. Calling for his lady. Frank, you come and be sweet to him. Even old coyote's got pretty frank.

[Vinnie Holt]

Mr. Tevis, please.

[Tom Owens]

Oh, Mr. Tiff, you don't have to be so nice and nice girl, don't run away. I ain't gonna hurt you.

[Vinnie Holt]

Now, Zimmerman. I'll let him know just how you baffled.

[Tom Owens]

You think I'm afraid of him, huh? Just cause he thinks he runs.

[Vinnie Holt]

Mr. Tiff.

[Zimmerman]

Mr. Mr. Tavis.

[Tom Owens]

Mr. Tavis. Little girl. You know how long it's been since I seen a pretty face? Two years. Two long years. Hey, wait a minute, girly. I told you I'm not gonna hurt you. No. Hey, what's that?

[Narrator/Announcer]

You drop.

[Vinnie Holt]

What?

[Tom Owens]

You dropped that piece of paper.

[Vinnie Holt]

No.

[Tom Owens]

Yes, you did. I seen that fall out of your blouse.

[Vinnie Holt]

My blouse?

[Tom Owens]

Well, there it is, right there at your feet.

[Vinnie Holt]

Oh, Mr. Tibbets.

[Tom Owens]

I'll pick it up. Go on.

[Vinnie Holt]

But it's only a letter. A personal letter.

[Tom Owens]

Who from?

[Vinnie Holt]

My brother.

[Zimmerman]

Let me see if it is.

[Vinnie Holt]

You can't read it. There's no light.

[Tom Owens]

There's moonlight. That's good enough. Now hand it over. Mm. Mm. Hmm.

[Zimmerman]

All right.

[Tom Owens]

Guess you can have it back.

[Vinnie Holt]

What?

[Tom Owens]

Your letter. You thought I didn't know how to read, didn't you? Well, I guess I showed you, didn't I?

[Vinnie Holt]

Yes, Mr. Tamith, I guess you did. You did indeed.

[Tom Owens]

Everybody bark. How long, David? Go along, Sam.

[Zimmerman]

Goodbye, gentlemen. All right, Owens, back indoors.

[Tom Owens]

My wife. Wife is over there.

[Zimmerman]

Nevis is bringing her in. Come on. Now, just a minute. Yeah, shut the front door. Now. Come here.

[Tom Owens]

Something wrong?

[Vinnie Holt]

Yeah,

[Zimmerman]

plenty. That's for trying to get that salesman's gun. And that's for not following my orders. And that's so you'll remember next time.

[Tom Owens]

Quiet. Quiet.

[Zimmerman]

What's the matter?

[Tom Owens]

You're waking the baby. How do you think she can sleep with all this rack?

[Zimmerman]

Oh, get out of here, Yancy. Jim, go on back to the room.

[Vinnie Holt]

Oh.

[Tom Owens]

All right, boss. All right. Now I'm going to have to rock her to please again. You. You threw with me. Z. No, that's Vinnie.

[Zimmerman]

Don't move. I want to. Stay where you are.

[Tom Owens]

No. Tevis is after Vinnie. Vinnie.

[Vinnie Holt]

Tom. Oh, thanks, Heaven.

[Tom Owens]

Oh, it's all right. It's all right. Everything will be all right. Evan, come in here. Come in here. Now don't go. Get in stores him. Cause honestly.

[Zimmerman]

Why you? I told you to leave her alone.

[Tom Owens]

I did, Jim. I did. I told you.

[Zimmerman]

All right, get up.

[Tom Owens]

I'll get you for anything. I'll kill you.

[Zimmerman]

All right, try it. Well, go on. Draw.

[Tom Owens]

You'd like me to, wouldn't you? I'm not going to.

[Narrator/Announcer]

No.

[Zimmerman]

I didn't think you would. All right, Owens, back to your room. You too, Mrs. Owen.

[Tom Owens]

I'll get you here, Sim. I'll get you.

[Zimmerman]

Yeah. You haven't got the guts.

[Vinnie Holt]

Him.

[Tom Owens]

Doggone. And I told you, be quiet. The baby.

[Zimmerman]

Now Juan forgot about her.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah, we'll take care of her.

[Vinnie Holt]

Cow. Cow.

[Zimmerman]

Honey, I'll save both of you in the morning.

[Vinnie Holt]

Tom, wait.

[Tom Owens]

You may be listening at the door. All right.

[Vinnie Holt]

Could you get word to the stage driver?

[Zimmerman]

No.

[Vinnie Holt]

Tom, what are we going to do?

[Tom Owens]

I don't know. We gotta keep on thinking and trying.

[Vinnie Holt]

But for how long? How much time have we got till

[Tom Owens]

the stage come through from California with that gold shipment? Until tomorrow morning.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Now, late at night, some 12 hours have passed since Zimmerman and his companions took over the station at Rawhide Path. Locked in the small back room of the station, Tom stares hopelessly through the bar windows while Billy attempts to comfort the restless baby.

[Tom Owens]

No.

[Vinnie Holt]

No. Callie, it's all right. Go to sleep.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Sick?

[Vinnie Holt]

No. I think it's that howling coyote that bothers you. It was just some way of closing that window so we couldn't hear it

[Tom Owens]

better if there was some way of getting after it. You know the company put up those iron bars. Those store value.

[Vinnie Holt]

Thoughtful of them.

Look.

[Tom Owens]

Brush your face against these bars and look as far to the right as you can. You see that stack of firewood by the corral? Yes. Well, that's about where you dropped my revolver, isn't that right?

[Vinnie Holt]

Yes, on the far side.

[Tom Owens]

Well, maybe it's due later.

[Vinnie Holt]

It must be. If anybody found it, we hear about it.

[Tom Owens]

Vinnie, we've got to get that gun.

[Vinnie Holt]

Well, how?

[Tom Owens]

Well, it's got. No. If we could break a hole through this adobe wall tunnel, an opening big

[Vinnie Holt]

enough to crawl through, dig it out with our fingernails.

[Tom Owens]

I suppose I only need something with a sharp point to it. Sharp and strong.

[Vinnie Holt]

You must have a butcher knife out in the kitchen.

[Tom Owens]

Sure.

[Vinnie Holt]

Then let me get it, will you? Yes, it'll be easier for me.

[Tom Owens]

But how?

[Vinnie Holt]

Well, I'll. Yes, I do. Some water pitcher. I'll tell them I need water for the babies. And I'll hide the knife inside the pitcher.

[Tom Owens]

Oh, I don't know.

[Vinnie Holt]

We've got to try, Tom.

[Tom Owens]

All right. Zimmerman. Zimmerman, come here.

[Vinnie Holt]

Tell me exactly where I'll find that knife.

[Tom Owens]

You know where the cask of water

[Vinnie Holt]

is alongside the cup?

[Tom Owens]

Yeah, that's right. The last time I saw it was right on the TM

[Zimmerman]

what do you want?

[Vinnie Holt]

The baby's got a fever. I want to get her some water.

[Zimmerman]

All right, give me the picture.

[Vinnie Holt]

No, I. I'll fill it.

[Zimmerman]

I don't know.

[Vinnie Holt]

The picture has to be rinsed out first, Mr. Zimmerman, and I don't want to ask such a favor of you.

[Zimmerman]

All right. Oh, come on.

[Vinnie Holt]

Would you know what time it is?

[Zimmerman]

It's almost midnight.

[Vinnie Holt]

Where's Kevin?

[Zimmerman]

He's outside. I put him on lookout.

[Vinnie Holt]

You're sure?

[Zimmerman]

About what?

[Vinnie Holt]

That he's on lookout.

[Zimmerman]

What do you mean? Where'd you see him?

[Vinnie Holt]

If you'll excuse me, Mr. Zimmerman, I'd like to fill this picture.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah.

[Zimmerman]

Jim, where's Kevin?

[Tom Owens]

Well, he's outside, ain't he, Grat?

[Zimmerman]

Have you seen him?

[Tom Owens]

Meet him? Tevis. Hey, Tevis. Yeah, what do you want?

[Zimmerman]

I thought you said Tevis wasn't out there.

[Vinnie Holt]

I didn't say that at all.

[Zimmerman]

No? Then what were you trying to say?

[Vinnie Holt]

Why, nothing. Are you always as nervous as this?

[Zimmerman]

You filled your picture?

[Vinnie Holt]

Yes.

[Zimmerman]

Then come on. What's the matter with your baby?

[Vinnie Holt]

I. I don't know. She got very evil.

[Zimmerman]

I don't know why she had to be here anyway.

[Vinnie Holt]

Why not?

[Zimmerman]

I just don't like her being here, that's all.

[Vinnie Holt]

Good night, Mr. Zimmerman.

[Zimmerman]

Yeah, good night.

[Tom Owens]

Did you get it here? Good. And I found a place to dig right here at the base of the north wall.

[Vinnie Holt]

Tom.

[Tom Owens]

Oh, this is going to be just like rock Knife hardly makes a dent.

[Vinnie Holt]

But let me try it for a while, all right.

[Tom Owens]

You better let me take over for a while.

[Vinnie Holt]

All right. Here,

[Tom Owens]

You want some whiskey, you put it away.

[Vinnie Holt]

You know what Sim said.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah, I know.

[Vinnie Holt]

Tom. Tom, I've broken through.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah. All right. Now we gotta widen the hole and make it big enough to cross the.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Give me the.

[Zimmerman]

I told you to leave that whiskey alone.

[Tom Owens]

I won't forget this. Then I won't forget it.

[Vinnie Holt]

Tom, the sun's coming up. Can't you hur.

[Tom Owens]

What do you think I'm doing? Benny. Benny.

[Vinnie Holt]

What is it?

[Tom Owens]

Go. The knife broke.

[Vinnie Holt]

Oh, no, no.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah, the plates tight on the adobe here.

[Vinnie Holt]

Can you pull it loose?

[Tom Owens]

Wait a minute.

[Vinnie Holt]

Oh, no.

[Tom Owens]

I can't get a hold. Look, Penny, do you think the hole's wide enough for you to squeeze through?

[Vinnie Holt]

No, I've tried.

[Tom Owens]

Come on, let's get down. I'm pushing. All right, that's it. We'll just get your shoulders through.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Go on.

[Tom Owens]

We're go hauling.

[Vinnie Holt]

I can't. That hole's hardly big enough for a child to crawl through.

[Tom Owens]

A child? Vinnie, do you think maybe the baby.

[Vinnie Holt]

Oh. Oh, Tom, really. You think all I have to say is a calais. Climb through this hole and crawl across the yard to that pile of firewood and bring back that big shiny revolver.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah.

[Zimmerman]

Yeah.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah, you're right. Oh, just. Just old enough to talk, to understand.

[Vinnie Holt]

Damn it.

[Tom Owens]

Well, I guess that's it.

[Vinnie Holt]

Yes, that's it. Digging our hands raw like a couple of rats. For what? For 24 hours? We'd let those murderers walk all over us. Order us around, do this, do that, and we did it.

[Tom Owens]

You can't argue with a gun.

[Vinnie Holt]

Why not? Where is this godness?

[Tom Owens]

Well, we're still alive, aren't we?

[Vinnie Holt]

Still alive. You know what's going to happen just as well as I do.

[Tom Owens]

Well, sure I do. Any minute now they're gonna come in here and take me out there to harness that team Mountain Zimmerman's bait for the stagecoach. A bait for ambush. What do you want me to do about it? Say I'm sorry, Mr. Zimmerman. I'm not working Today.

[Vinnie Holt]

Oh, Callie. Callie, please.

[Tom Owens]

And maybe I've been wrong about something else, too. Maybe we shouldn't have pretended to be Mr. And Mrs. But I figured it was a good bargain for both of us. I thought they'd treat you all right because they wanted me to cooperate.

[Vinnie Holt]

Oh, yes, yes. They just treated me wonderful. Especially tethered.

[Tom Owens]

All right. From here on out, you can just do better on your own. Maybe you better tell Zimmerman who you are.

[Vinnie Holt]

Maybe I will. Callie. Stop it. Stop it.

[Zimmerman]

What's going on in there?

[Tom Owens]

Go ahead, Vinny. Now's the time. Go ahead and tell him.

[Zimmerman]

Tell me what, Mrs. Owens? Well, what did you want to tell me?

[Vinnie Holt]

Nothing. It's nothing that concerns you, Mr. Zimmerman. A husband and wife can quarrel in private, can't they?

[Zimmerman]

And it wasn't very private. Owens. The stage ought to be along anytime. Get out there and hitch up the team.

[Vinnie Holt]

All right, Tom.

[Zimmerman]

No, you stay in here, Mrs. Owens.

[Vinnie Holt]

Tom.

[Tom Owens]

Tom.

[Vinnie Holt]

Oh, no. They must. Maybe the stage won't come. Callie. Callie, where are you? She's got to be here. Callie. She couldn't him. Not through that hole. Callie. Callie. Let me out. Let me out of here. Let me out.

[Tom Owens]

What's all the yelling about?

[Vinnie Holt]

My baby. She's outside. I've got to get to.

[Tom Owens]

No, you don't. No trick.

[Vinnie Holt]

But my baby. Callie.

[Tom Owens]

Let me go.

[Vinnie Holt]

Let me go.

[Tom Owens]

Them. I didn't do nothing. She was yelling and pounding.

[Zimmerman]

I won't.

[Tom Owens]

For the last time.

[Vinnie Holt]

Hi.

[Tom Owens]

Sir. You hear me? You hear me? Oh, there's no more.

[Zimmerman]

All right, get back in the room, Mrs. Owen. I'll see that he doesn't bother you anymore.

[Tom Owens]

Travis. I said I'd get you. I told you I would. Come back. Come back. You come back.

[Vinnie Holt]

Come. Come. Jenny.

[Tom Owens]

What's happened?

[Vinnie Holt]

The baby. She crawled through the hole. We've got to find her.

[Tom Owens]

All right, come on. Let's get that gun. Then show me where it is. Come on. Jim, Come quick.

[Vinnie Holt]

The other side of the woodpile, Tom. The other side.

[Tom Owens]

All right, where is it?

[Vinnie Holt]

I don't know, but it's got to be here.

[Tom Owens]

Yancy, Jim said somebody killed him. I did. I'm the boss now, you hear? You want all the gold for yourself. No, that's not right,

[Vinnie Holt]

Tom.

[Tom Owens]

Yeah, that's just one less of him. Now, now, now. Don't shoot, Harry.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Don't shoot.

[Vinnie Holt]

I'm leaving.

[Tom Owens]

The gun. The gun. Where is it, Tom?

[Vinnie Holt]

There. Almost under that log.

[Tom Owens]

I see. Owens.

[Vinnie Holt]

Keep down, Tom. Keep down.

[Tom Owens]

It's no use, Owen. I'm coming after you. Come ahead, Tevitt. Hey, you didn't expect that, did you? Tevitt just let you know I got plenty bullets.

[Zimmerman]

Owens.

[Tom Owens]

My gun and Zim's and crashes.

[Vinnie Holt]

Poor Tom. There's Cowie. Wake up.

[Tom Owens]

No, you don't. You're staying here.

[Vinnie Holt]

But the booth. Shut up.

[Tom Owens]

Don't you want to give pence ideas? Hey, H. You see that baby? It's what? Next time I may not miss.

[Vinnie Holt]

Oh, Donald.

[Tom Owens]

Donald. Keep down and keep quiet. You better throw it on your phone. Owen. Come out and open. I found it on. All right, Tom. Get out of tack enough holes. Let's see. Let's hold on. You nun mine real pretty. I start walking tall feet. I said start walking. That's it. That's nice. That's real nice. What you stopping for? Don't yell at. Now, come on. Keep coming. You show me how a real man dies, huh? That's it. Come on.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Come on.

[Tom Owens]

Just a couple steps more.

[Zimmerman]

Tommy.

[Tom Owens]

Oh,

[Vinnie Holt]

Callie. Callie, come here. Tom, are you all right?

[Tom Owens]

God, I'm all right. And I was worried about your being able to handle a gun. Thank you, Vinnie.

[Vinnie Holt]

There's the stage.

[Tom Owens]

Yes. When it leaves, you and the baby can be on it.

[Vinnie Holt]

What about you? You're leaving too, aren't you?

[Tom Owens]

My relief won't get here until next week. Just gonna have to wait until then.

[Vinnie Holt]

Tom. Would you mind if I wait and go back with you?

[Tom Owens]

I was hoping you might want to.

[Vinnie Holt]

I do, Tom. I.

[Tom Owens]

I'd better answer that bugle and let him know that everything's all right. It is all right, isn't it, Vinnie?

[Vinnie Holt]

Oh, yes, Tom. Everything's all right.
