Sarah and Dutch waiting for Arthur, sitting on crates and talking about the plan.

- There you are. Come on, keep walking. You're late. Said Dutch, seeing Arthur arrive.

- A couple of days in this place you've turn into some clock watching city boy. What's the urgency? Asked Arthur.

- Wee need to leave... forever. We've been doing well, making money but for us all to leave together we need enough for a boat. Now I find a friendly ship captain he's willing to take us to Australia, or Tahiti. We just need to pay for passage and give him money for land when we get there. No questions asked. We will disappear. Be reborn. Said Dutch.

Sarah looks at him for a moment, finding his plan a little too fanciful, then she says:

- But... where the hell is Tahiti?

- South pacific. An untouched paradise. Replied Dutch.

- Who lives there? Asked Arthur.

- Tahitians, I guess.

They move to a cart and hide behind.

- We made a bit of money on that riveboat job, but not enough for us to leave and live peacefully. Where's the rest coming from? Asked Arthur.

- In there. Said Sarah, showing the place.

- So we are gonna rob that place? Sais Arthur.

- Well, I didn't think we was fixing the plumbing. I don't know if you have noticed, but we are on the clock. I reckon we got a few days before the Pinkertons show and then, well, wer're done. Now, we need money. Bronte said this place has got money. Come on.

Dutch, Arthur and Sarah put their scarves to hide their faces, take out their guns and enter.Faced with this threat, people fall to the ground directly, Sarah points her pistol at a man and tells him to give everything to her, the man accepted and gives her all his money. Arthur also rob the other people.

- I said open the gate and let my acquaintance in. Said Dutch.

- Yes, of course. Said the man.

The man tries to persuade Dutch that there is not much money and trouble opening the gate.the gate opens and Arthur enters.

- Open it. He said.

- I don't think they keep much cash in there. Said the station clerk.

- Open it! Said Sarah.

The man opens the safe, Arthur goes there and finds that there is not much money.Sarah approaches to see.

- There's almost nothing here! She said.

- There should be stacks of cash in there... he told us there was...look again... Said Dutch.

- There'sno stacks... a few dollars and coins, that's it. Said Arthur.

- Damn! Shouted Dutch.

- We got a problem! There's a ton of cops out there! Said Sarah, seeing the cops arrived.

- Come out now!  We got you surrounded! I said come out!

- That greasy son of a bitch... he set us up! Shouted Dutch.

- You think? Arthur said sarcastically.

- This seem like a good time for sarcasm to you, Arthur? Asked Dutch.

- What we gonna do? Asked Sarah.

- Something! The trolley... The trolley! Shouted Ducth.

- Let's go then! Sarah shouted.
