- Don't you think it's about time?
- All right.

:08:26
A train robbery, five years ago.
:08:29
Ten men rode away with $500,000 in gold.
:08:33
The fellow that was running the show
figured they ought to hide it...

:08:38
until things cooled off.
:08:39
So he took the Fargo box
and two of the men...

:08:41
and rode south into Mexico.
:08:44
Came back alone.
Said the other two got killed accidentally.

:08:47
His name was Lowe.
:08:50
The woman, she his wife?
:08:52
His widow.
He had the misfortune of getting shot.

:08:55
But he told her where the gold was
before he died.

:08:58
- And she told you?
- No, she doesn't trust me.

:09:02
All she'll say
is that it's four days south of here.

:09:04
If there was 10 of them jumped that train,
three of them dead...

:09:09
- that leaves seven of them still alive.
- And still kicking.

:09:12
You figure they know Lowe died?
:09:14
Six of them were pallbearers.
:09:16
Then why didn't she tell them?
:09:17
Get her husband's share
and let it go at that?

:09:19
That isn't what she's after.
:09:21
When she gets the gold,
she plans to turn it in.

:09:24
Clear her husband's name.
:09:25
Why the hell would she do that?
:09:27
They got a kid, a boy.
She doesn't want him growing up...

:09:30
thinking his old man
ran around robbing trains.

:09:33
Kind of high-minded, ain't it?
:09:35
Not the way she looks at it.
:09:37
Then why didn't she go to the railroad
and tell them where it is?

:09:40
That's what she was about to do
when I met her. I talked her out of it.

:09:44
There's a reward: $50,000.
:09:47
- Hell, that ain't no $500,000.
- No, and it ain't stolen, either.

:09:53
- We'll leave first thing in the morning.
- Lane.

:09:57
Talking that woman
out of going to the railroad...
