Inn of the Damned

Most adorable, my dear.

The other ones went down by the stagecoach.

She's got her travelling case with her.

I mean, you weren't serious

about her coming with us, were you?

I mean after all, we got a lot of work, don't we?

The two things I take everywhere I go, my friend,

this and, well, company.

Always sensible to take home comforts with you.

But then, you wouldn't know about that.

If's a long way to the Wayside House, isn't it?

I thought maybe all she'd get for that was a trip.

She's along for the ride, as so are you, Mr. Quill.

Now you may showing me where these gold samples are,

but you're not paying.

My money, my mine.

I'll have her stay at that, oh, good evening.

I'll have her stay at the overnight place,

what do you say they're calling?

Well, uh...

Oh my dear, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.

A few, a few, a few minor details to attend to.

Still plenty of time.

All aboard!

First up, Straulle House.

It lays interest.

Going to add on tonight, eh?

Even a couple from the Straulle place.

Straulle House.

Come on, get up, get up!

Barney, Barney, get up!

Go on, get up!

The only thing that worries me,

Mr. Quill, is having to ride horses to the mine.

Now don't you fret now, Mr. Cummings.

I'll get hold of a nice quiet horse for you.

Those hills around there are too steep to go climbing afoot.

Oh, I checked the mining office about that closure.

Check?

What is there to check?

Everyone knows the place was closed because of the plague.

Oh there's gold there, all right, don't you worry about it.

You know I showed you it.

Here, you take another look.

Ah, small pennies.

I'm interesting in bigger stakes.

If your man has discovered a run, I'll know.

The Germans up there tried to get hold of it.

We had to fight them off.

Oh, there's gold there all right, don't you worry.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've chased nothing.

Everyone out!

Aye!

Watch it!

Oh, Marty!

Up we go.

Sit up, darling.

That's a good girl.

Bye bye lady!

Your tongue has gone this morning, Biscayne?

You nervous?

You have change of mind?

Not me.

Nothing I do now makes any difference.

I've got a big price on my head now.

I've even got my pictures in the police bulletin.

Oh, I'd seen them up at the Bennetts home, and the woods so.

They make me look younger, they do.

Ah, you're too full of yourself.

There's an American after me.

A professional killer, he is!

Twice he's got close enough for me to sight him.

The last time I had my hands on some woman of his.

Imagine that.

Some dark, tall tart with those great big...

We are not interested.

Staying clear of the law is one thing,

but it ain't justice when they bring in some foreign,

no-good-at to do their dirty work.

As long as he does not follow you here,

and you do as you are told, I do not care about the law.

Nobody follows me anywhere.

Not here, not anywhere.

Don't you worry.

I can look after meself.

Oh, we've saved you from being arrested,

Biscayne, and hung.

For eight years we have protected you.

I know that, you don't have

to keep on telling me about it.

Oh, but we do.

Eight years is a long time to keep silent about a murder.

A murder that you committed here.

Right there, you killed him.

And we saw you do it.

I'll have to go before the sun gets too high.

It's a long walk to the Grimstead's.

No, you leave that be.

I will attend to that.

He was a rich man, very rich.

But that whore...

I didn't bring her, he picked her up in Melbourne.

You don't bring the likes of that girl here again, ever!

There's nothing for you at Grimstead's.

You go back to Bildara tomorrow night.

No!

It was risky enough getting on

that coach with Cummings as it was.

Safe places are hard to find nowadays.

You are safe here, as long as...

We'll see what happens.

It ain't easy to move about now.

The truth is, I can handle with the Americans on me ass.

You'll want to keep your eyes open for him, he's a mean one.

I thought you said he wouldn't follow you.

Oh, don't worry, he's not after me now.

I've probably seen the last of him.

Don't he never say nothing?

You know he has a bad throat.

Well, maybe I'll see you next month, aye?

Yeah.

You remember our agreement.

I'll take the side of the house, Georgie.

Then the shearing sheds and the stables.

I saw some men down in the pastures

with the sheep as we came by.

We go in there in the pond there, and nobody will see us.

I'd rather wait 'til dark.

I'm not going in that place in daylight.

Nobody said anything about going inside,

we'll look around outside!

See what you can find!

There's a small room there in the back,

you can pick out for yourself some booze.

That horse would fetch gold.

Forget the money.

Gold.

And lots of it.

Probably runs like the wind.

Don't have your nerve, Biscayne,

seeming, well, you know, you'd do anything,

but I'm not like that.

You sodding bastard!

I should've left you to rot at the crossing.

Tell you what, Parr, I don't need you.

So you can stuff off!

But if I ever see your carcass again,

I'll cut you up in little pieces.

You ain't no guts to tatter.

Right.

But let's wait 'til after dark.

We go now!

So move your ass!

Simmons!

I say Simmons, come here!

You too, Hogg.

Both of you!

I say!

Go on, get going!

Go, go, go!

Come on!

Come back here!

Oh, shit!

Bet you ain't seen anything like this before, Georgie!

You're mad.

Grimstead will have a whole bunch of riders out after us.

You got a mate there for life, you'll make a nice couple.

Oh, I could flog off this bit of meat

to Old Man Phillips at the logging camp.

He knows how to keep his mouth shut.

He's got gold too.

Troopers?

Where'd they come from?

Troopers?

Nah.

Well, maybe one.

Jeez, that Palomino!

That's Kincaid.

Kincaid, who's Kincaid?

Shut up!

Well, it's that horse of yours, they'll see it won't you.

I told you we should've waited 'til after dark!

Shut up, you old fool!

He's shot more men, than you've had dinners!

The American?

Oh Christ, I'm getting the hell out of here.

He gets his throat cut.

No!

If he barks, they'll be onto us!

No, I'll keep him quiet.

I'll keep him under the trees, see,

and you lead the troopers away, yeah?

Yes?

It's your neck.

I'll lead them away.

And I'll see you at the waterfall in the morning, at midday.

You bring Kincaid with ya,

and I'll have your guts before they fight me, Parr.

Stop or I'll fire!

Don't shoot, he's mine!
