What are you doing in Alamogordo?

Eating a steak?

I think you're here after Nelson.

You do, huh?

Yeah.

I'm warning you.

Stay away from him.

Whatever I know, then you'll join him.

He's gonna die.

What if he doesn't turn his back on you?

Just saw Foley.

Yeah. He bit off a big piece, Josh.

Like a good piece, Pat.

You gonna do any chewing?

You do it outside of town.

You understand that?

Glad I'm sitting here minding my own business.

All of a sudden you give me my floating papers. Why?

Sorry.

Just finish up, huh?

Folks here in Omegardo got a kind of a funny feeling against bounty hunters.

Even you.

You're Josh Randall?

The time I answer that, I get in trouble.

I want you to come with me.

Why not?

You don't understand.

Please, Mr. Randall.

Where can we go to talk?

Well, a building doesn't have to follow me.

Sit down.

Now what's so important?

Do you remember Ted Nelson?

He seemed to have a whole lot of friends all of a sudden.

I just left him.

Well, how did you know who I was?

I heard you were in town yesterday when I was here.

I told Ted and he sent me back to get you.

I asked them people. They told me the Ace Bar.

I haven't seen Ted in five years.

He told me.

We used to ride together in Texas.

Yeah.

It was pretty close.

Well, it was before he went over on the other side.

Now he's an outlaw with a thousand dollars on his head.

And you're a bounty hunter.

And you're a friend of his who wants to turn him over to me and split the

reward, right?

No.

I'm his wife.

We were married a year ago.

I haven't heard.

I want him to give himself up, Mr. Randall.

He didn't kill anybody a few years in the penitentiary and...

We'll be together again. That's all I want.

What do you want me to do about it?

He wants to see you.

I'll take you to him.

If you'll give me your word, you'll go as a friend.

If after you've seen him, you decide to hunt him down, he wants a 24 -hour

start. That's what he asked me to tell you.

Where is it?

Just a couple of hours' ride.

Josh.

I thought I'd ask you to move on.

Sure.

This time, maybe I'd better walk with you.

See you outside in just a couple of minutes.

Oh, uh, put this in your stocking, huh?

Easy back.

I wouldn't count on it.

Now, what's the matter, really?

What do you mean?

Well, we've been friends for a long time. Now, why this push?

Josh, Dallas, I'll drink with you. Denver, I'll stand by you in a fight.

live here.

These people don't understand me being friendly with a bounty hunter.

Does it make that much difference what they think?

Like I said, I live here.

And there is another reason.

Right now, this town's crawling with out -of -work trailhands.

They know you, or they know about you.

Sooner or later, one of them's going to get filled up, try to make a big

reputation for himself, and be in just a little bit faster.

Well, I'm not looking for trouble, Pat.

Trouble has a way of finding me.

Now, you stick around here, somebody's going to get hurt. So do me a favor.

Just ride out.

See you in Dallas.

That's a deal.

Wait a minute.

Why are we stopping here?

Well, if we're being followed, now's a good time to find out about it.

Pull your horse in over there.

See right there?

It's that man, Foley.

He's trailed Ted all the way from Texas, trying to kill him and collect the

reward.

Does he know you?

Well, I don't know. He may have seen me and Ted together.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to stop him.

Now you go over here and stay out of sight, now, do you hear me?

That's it, Foley.

All right, on the ground.

Keep your hands where I can see them.

Drop the gun, Bill.

All right, go on over to that tree now.

Go on.

You just keep looking to the front, huh?

Kind of close, wasn't it?

How much farther is it?

Oh, about an hour.

Very far from here.

You will be honest with Ted, won't you?

Well, I haven't gone back on my word yet. I think Ted knows that.

That's why he asked you to find me.

I love him very much, Mr. Randall.

He's had more trouble than he can stand.

Hold it right there, Josh.

Keep your hands away from your gun.

Hello, Ted.

You mind dropping the gun?

I'm a little nervous with that thousand dollars on my head.

You shouldn't make him do that, Teddy.

He gave me his promise.

Annie, I shot a wild turkey this afternoon. It's plucked and ready to

I think the fire's about right.

I know when I'm not wanted.

Glad to see you, Josh.

Me too.

Might as well be comfortable.

All right.

We used to be good friends, Josh.

I don't like to trade on that, but right now I need someone I can trust.

That's me.

Up to a point.

I want you to turn me in.

The reward, it's like money in the bank.

Why don't you just walk in yourself?

I can't collect the reward myself.

I need the money.

You see, my wife comes from a good family in Kansas City.

I want her to go home.

In other words, you want me to split the reward with her, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, that way she can get herself some decent clothes and a ticket back to KC.

After she's with her folks for a while, she'll get me out of her system.

Does she know about this?

Not quite.

She wants me to turn myself in, but she doesn't know that I want her to go back

to Kansas City.

Listen, Ted, you ought to tell her about this.

Yeah. Give me a day.

I'd sooner lose my arm than her.

You know, she's the only decent thing that's ever happened to me.

All I've ever given her is reason to cry.

Well, what time do you want me here tomorrow?

Middle of the afternoon, all right?

All right.

See, listen, Ted, you know a fella named Foley?

Yeah, why?

Well, I left him tied to a tree halfway between here and town.

Did Ann know who he was?

Yeah. Well, listen, Ted.

I bet we're getting on back here. All right, Josh.

Are you leaving, Mr. Randall?

Yeah.

Are you going with him, Ted?

Mm -hmm.

Tomorrow.

Listen, Ted.

I'll be by here tomorrow afternoon, okay?

All right, Josh.

Want to take a ride with me, Loudmouth?

What'd you do with the girl?

She told me not to tell you.

You think I don't know who she is?

You know, I hardly ever think about you at all.

All right, now, you get on your horse.

Now, listen, police...

You just keep looking straight ahead. If you turn around, I'm going to dot both

of your I's.

Let's move out.

I'm going to say this easy, and I'm going to say it so you can understand

I want you to stay away from me. Hear?

You alright with him?

Something wrong with your ears?

I just want to talk to you, Pat.

What about?

Well, let's go down to East Bar. We can talk while I eat, hmm?

This better be good.

Listen, you got a poster on a man named Nelson?

Well, I might have. What's his first name? Ted.

You after him, too?

What do you mean?

Half a dozen people in town like a piece of that thousand dollars?

I just didn't figure one of them.

You know that girl I rode out of town with this morning?

Yeah, what about her?

That's his wife.

Well, where is he?

That's what I want to talk to you about.

Here. You said thick and rare, Josh. That's just what you got.

But if it moves, that's a bulldog.

At least it's got the hide off of it.

Sure you don't want anything, Mr. Garrett?

Just a little privacy.

You still think you can take Nelson alone?

I could go along and back you up.

It's all set up, Pat.

Nobody gets hurt. I'm going to bring him in, and I'm going to turn him over to

you. By 5 o 'clock tomorrow afternoon.

Now, this $1 ,000 that Wells Fargo's putting up, what about it?

Well, whatever my take is, I'll split it with you right down the middle.

Now, listen, Pat, you've got to give me your guarantee you'll have safe conduct

back to Texas.

You've got to promise me that.

We were good friends for a long time.

You got it.

Wait a minute.

Whatever your take is, it's $1 ,000, isn't it?

Well, when Nelson goes to jail, his wife's going back to Kansas City. Now,

that's part of the deal.

Well, how much are you going to give her out of the $1 ,000?

Whatever it is, you're just gonna have to go along with me.

Listen, don't worry.

We're both gonna come out on this, yeah?

It's a deal.

Listen, I ran into Foley this afternoon. He tried to follow me out to Nelson.

What happened?

He didn't make it.

You found out where Nelson was?

No, I don't think so.

Well, I'd be a little careful of him.

Never let him see you back.

Yeah, I heard that.

Hey, Ruthie?

Who else reads your mind?

It's kind of a dangerous hobby, isn't it?

Well, I'm a gambler.

Well, you two don't need me.

Listen, I'll drop by your office about noon.

Right. Night, Roach.

Hey, how come your planet's so cozy with Garrett all of a sudden? He doesn't

usually take to bounty hunters.

All I did was ask him to tell me about the time he killed Billy the Kid.

That'll do it.

You sure you want me to go along?

No problem, Pat.

I'll be back when I'm fired.

I'll see you in here. Right.

I was just going for a ride when I saw you get your horse.

Mind if I ride along with you for a while?

I think that'll be fine. Just to the edge of town, all right?

Well, that's it.

Well, thanks for the sample.

My pleasure.

I'll see you tonight, yeah?

Yeah.

It's Foley. He followed Josh Randall. They took the south road. Yeah, I know

where they went. Watch things.

Ted, can you think of anything else you'll need?

Ted? Hmm?

I said, can you think of anything else you want to take with you?

Just you.

It won't be long.

Just a few months, maybe.

Ted?

Ted?

I forgot my razor.

Did you get it for me?

It's there someplace.

What's the matter with you?

I changed my mind.

I'm not going with you.

You know, it'd be better if you did.

Wouldn't do you any harm either, would it?

I asked you to come alone.

You promised.

I'm sorry, Josh.

It means anything.

I just want you to know I didn't bring them.

It doesn't matter.

They only made it happen faster.

I wasn't going back with you alive.

I knew that yesterday.

I didn't want to do that.

But I was afraid one of them would get me before you did.

I couldn't go back to jail.

Been there The money

promise remember it you promised

We saw this pad about that reward.

Yeah, I know.

Half of nothing is nothing.

I don't matter.

I got a hole in my pocket anyway.
