It was a heated argument going on inside between Rance and his wife Don't go for your gun, Rance. I think I'd still be walking to Yuba City Should have known not to leave you alive I'm grateful to you for that, but it doesn't undo the murder you did commit You see in Rance killed a man. Yes, ma'am, and he took the Regan payroll money Jack Regan's money. That's right Who did kill? Never mind, mister. Who was it? Regan's foreman, Luke Williams Williams? Yeah, Luke is dead Your husband's gonna hang for it. There ain't no man gonna pine around my wife and live to brag about it How'd you know about him and me? Man keeps account on his wife even in jail But I ain't blaming you, Lily Mae. Well, you might as well blame me. I loved him more than I ever loved you And if you hadn't come back when you did, we'd have been gone and you never would have found us Don't you have any respect for your son? How'd you think he'd feel having another man for his father? If you cared for that boy at all, you'd have given up your rotten ways a long time ago Where's the money, Rance? I didn't bring it with me. Oh, stop your lying for once. It's right there, mister It's on the table. Lily Mae, you're not gonna have that money, mister. Oh, no, you're... I'm sorry, Mrs. Carnival It's just as well that he's dead If you'd have taken him away, I'd be fearing that he'd get back to him somehow before they could hang him I don't want Ned to know about this But you won't be able to keep it from him now If you heard those shots, he'll be coming up to the house to see what happened Yes, I know. What'll I tell him? He never understands. Oh, I think he will If not now, maybe later If you tell him the truth about his father What was the truth? Everything Rance did was for his son At least, that's what he said Oh, Mr. Palady. Good morning. Hey, boy. You just arrived on stage. Yeah What are you doing behind the desk?
