Thank you.

You, uh, looking for somebody, mister?

You got a right to know?

Well, let's say I'm taking that right.

Now, who are you looking for?

Why? Because it might be Sheriff Bedloe. And if it is, you're out of luck.

Is that so?

Yeah. Everybody in town is looking for him.

And it ain't to give him no medal.

If I was you, mister, I'd get out of Sandrock fast.

This ain't no place for a stranger.

You're not me.

Bye.

Josh Randall?

You didn't think you didn't get my message, Josh.

Well, when I hear that Hank Fedlow is hiding in a hotel room, I want to find

why.

Need a favor. Need it bad.

I owe you a couple.

Wants you to get me his partner.

Who is he?

This is Gabe Justin.

Partner? Man called Ted Jenks.

Well, what's the story, Hank?

Sit down.

The two of them held up the bank. There was some shooting. Anybody hit?

Yeah, the bank clerk.

His funeral was yesterday afternoon.

Since then, there's been a lot of talking and a lot of drinking.

Well, you saw the face on the town.

All it takes is one voice to tell him to make a mob.

That's why you're holed up here, huh? Yeah.

Had to move him three times since we buried the clerk.

I can't leave him alone till the judge gets here.

Why would you have to leave him alone at all?

Get the other one. Get his partner.

There's no one I can send, no one I can trust.

Then you know where he is? That's why I sent for you.

Gabe said he headed for an outlaw town called Bent Horn.

You know the place?

I've heard of it, and I don't want any part of it.

Don't you have a deputy you can send?

Why, I'd sooner send a ten -year -old kid than to send Mike.

Anybody opens a bottle within a mile of him, he forgets his own name.

You haven't heard all of it, Josh.

One man's already gone after Jenks. Who?

George Evans, the bank clerk's brother.

If he finds him first, Jenks's a dead man.

Well, then why worry? He'll end up the same. Not quite.

Jenks's entitled to a trial.

Look, Henry, I'm... Josh, please.

Please, a favor.

Please.

What does he look like?

I don't know. I didn't see the robbery.

When I got back to town, I found Gabe here all trussed up, the rest of them

trying to sop up enough courage to hang him.

Well, then how'd you point out about Jenks? He told me.

Why are you so anxious to have your partner caught?

Because he's a bum.

The whole thing was his idea. Then he skipped town to leave me sitting on the

trouble.

I want him next to me when they drop that door.

That's all I want.

What's he look like?

Light hair.

About your size and build.

What makes you so sure he went to Benthorn?

Because that's where we was headed.

See you in a week.

I appreciate it. You know that. Yeah.

Don't know how I'll pay you back. I'll find some way.

Well, I'll tell you.

Right now, there's a bigger question.

What's that?

Will I be here to collect it?

Good morning. What'll it be?

What's that?

Rye. I'll take some.

Water?

Well, if it's bad, water won't help.

And if it's good, it won't need any.

Well? Mm -hmm.

Where you from?

South. Full house.

Why, you shit.

Well, he's yours. Drag him out.

Why didn't you call the sheriff?

Wouldn't have done any good.

You would have just told them the rule.

And they already know that.

Rule? It's about the only real law we've got in the Bent Horn.

Fight as much as you want, shoot everybody up, but don't break anything.

Oh, uh, say, thanks for the hand.

No trouble.

What are you doing in Bent Horn?

Looking for a friend.

What's his name?

Ted Jenks.

Know him?

What do you want with him?

Business.

We made a deal.

Look, mister, we've got another rule in Benthorn.

Nobody asks any questions.

If you want to see somebody, you take a seat over there.

If he's in town, he'll walk by.

Yeah, but you did me a favor.

I'm trying to do you one.

I told you. You're a liar.

Now, you head for that door, and you make it the first time.

You sure pulled in that welcome mat fast.

Just your thanks you weren't standing on it.

Now, you get out of town, and you get out fast.

Jenks is no friend of yours.

There's a lot of men in town who'd be only too glad to blow your head off if

gave him any trouble, and I'm one of them.

Now, move.

You're a little late.

What do you mean?

I found what I came for.

I'll see you now, yeah?

You're crazy, Evans.

Put that thing down.

I'm a big man in this town.

You'll never get out of here alive.

I'll take that chance.

Now, wait a minute, George. You got this all wrong.

Sure, I have.

I'll make you a rich man.

Anything you want, you just name it.

You got it wrong.

I didn't have anything to do with killing your brother. Nothing at all.

got to believe that.

That's enough.

What do you want?

Put the gun down.

This is a private party, mister.

I'm gonna ask you once more, then I'm gonna blow you out of your shirt.

Mister, I don't know who you are, but I sure owe you a favor.

He was gonna kill me. He said I shot his brother down in Sand Rock.

I'm gonna remember you for what you've done.

I'm sure of that. All right, let's go.

What? Outside.

Who are you? What are you trying to pull?

Josh Randall. I'm doing a favor for the Sheriff of Sandrock.

Bedloe? That's right.

He wants this man to stand trial for killing your brother.

It's a waste of time and money to try him.

Listen, I'm on your side, but that's the way Bedloe wants it. You stay out of

the way.

Horses are out in the back.

You'll never take him back, Randall.

It's a three -day ride. I'll be behind you every minute, I warn you.

Now, you listen. I don't care anything about him.

But you come within biting distance of this, and it's going to chew you to

pieces.

Come on.

What are you going to do?

That door shouldn't be locked.

Come on, hurry, hurry. Come on, come on.

We'll bring it down. Sure, we'll bring it down.

Come on, hit it.

What was the shooting?

None of mine.

Where's James?

Gone. Went with a long gun?

He's taken to Sand Rock.

That's what he thinks. We'll get him.

Try to drink something. You'll feel better.

There's nothing but a new head that's going to fix this.

You had quite a night.

Try the coffee.

This stuff isn't going to do any good.

You know, I didn't have anything to do with that bank robbery.

Look, I just came from Sand Rock. Bedloe says you're guilty. The town thinks you

are. Your partner says so.

Me, I can't afford an opinion.

I'm taking you back.

What kind of a trial do you think I'm going to get?

Well, right now, Bedloe's hiding behind locked doors to make sure that Gabe

Justin gets a fair trial.

I imagine you'll get the same.

Well, there's a big difference.

Justin did the robbery.

Why would they try to tie you into something you're not guilty of?

Get even?

Gabe hates me. He always has.

You row together.

All right, that doesn't mean we ate out of the same plate.

Oh, I admit he wanted me to go along with him.

Laid it out nice and pretty.

Only I turned it down.

Reforming?

No.

Look, I'm not trying to sell you me with wings.

It's just that I didn't have any part of that bank job.

And that's the truth.

All right, well, the best way to prove that is go in and stand trial. If you're

innocent, the jury will open the doors.

They may not have to.

Because you're not about to get me back to Sand Rock.

You just keep thinking that.

I got reasons.

You remember I told you I'm a pretty big man back in Benhorn.

Got a lot of friends who wouldn't want to see me on the end of a rope.

I'm not going to do any good out here.

Why, you just take a look, Mr. Randall.

Back up. We're moving out.

I like it here.

Well, that's good.

Because unless you get on that horse, they're gonna bury you here.

Well, come on. Let's take a rest.

We lost him.

All right.

Ten minutes.

You better save some of that.

Why? We'll be in Sand Rock tomorrow.

After that, I won't have much chance of drinking anything.

Hey, how'd you happen to get into this business, Randall?

What's that?

Bounty hunting.

How'd you happen to get into it?

Just happened.

Working in a bank back home.

One day I looked out at a customer and it hit me.

He was living in a jail.

Quit that afternoon.

Is it good living?

It could be.

Maybe I don't want to work that hard as long as I got a handful of beans in the

making.

That's all I need.

All right, get on your horse.

Oh, no.

I'm not running anymore.

You're sure who that is behind us there? There's a chance it might be a friend

of mine.

I'm going to take that chance.

No, you're not. Now get on your horse.

You're not going to shoot the noise and bring him right up here.

You're the only one that's got something to lose.

Now move.

He's leaving.

We'll camp over there.

What do you want to wait over there for?

We'll be better off there for a couple of hours and on the trail.

I don't think so. I want to go on.

If it's Evans, he's in front of us.

You still want to chance it?

What if it's one of my friends?

Then one of us are going to have to use a shovel.

I don't think it's going to be you.

Tomorrow, huh, John?

What?

Tomorrow's the day I get it.

It's up to the Corsas to decide.

You want some more coffee?

Much obliged.

innocent, the jury will set you free.

A lousy, simple job like that, and you can't do it right.

You... Judge!

The boy's outside.

James? There, you see? I told you everything would be all right.

Why did you try to outrun me?

What are you talking about?

I sent Mike to Bent Horn with a message for you.

I just missed you in town. I tried to catch up to you, but the way you were

running... Who do you think I was?

That was you out there?

Yeah. You disappeared from the trail.

I tried to find you. Right after you left. As a matter of fact, the day

We found out that Gabe Justin had been lying about Jenks. Didn't have a thing

do with the robbery.

No, not a thing.

Can you imagine Gabe lying like that?

Old Jenks innocent?

Another fellow altogether. They got him up in Washington County.

I bet old Jenks liked to hear it.

Yeah, where is he? I want to tell him.

Where are you going?

To find a church.
