Well, he sees this.

Hey, Judge, they got Jumbo Kane.

Let's take a look at this.

He's still alive.

Sure is.

Where are you going to lock him up this time, Judge?

Remember what he said when he left?

Well, Randall, let's see you earn your money.

All right.

Welcome back, Jumbo.

Get him off.

Julie, send a telegraph message to Austin, will you?

Ask him to authorize Mr. Randall's bounty.

It'll take a couple of hours.

I'll be in the bar.

Well, got your back, huh, Jumbo?

You lock him up good now. We wouldn't want another escape.

I don't imagine you would.

Now, take it easy, Kane.

You can't hold me.

I'll get out.

You just keep on thinking that.

I'll get it in there.

Didn't seem to like it, is he?

I was the one who sentenced him to hang.

You will this time, too.

You wait and see.

Are you really worth it, Mr. Randall?

Ma 'am?

My father gets paid $40 a month for capturing men like Jumbo Kane.

$40.

You collect $1 ,000 for doing the same thing.

Yes, ma 'am. That's why I do it.

What I don't understand is why he's still alive.

Don't you usually bring your men in dead?

Maybe he didn't keep his back turned long enough.

Well, now, I consider that a misfortune, Julie.

Killing Jumbo Kane would have been a public service.

But it'll let you rest easier, too, wouldn't it?

I sentenced him to death, and as far as I'm concerned, Mr. Randall, you had

every right to carry out the judgment of the court.

Thank you.

As long as Cain's alive, he's a threat to every decent citizen of this town.

Take a good look at your lawman.

All of you.

If you want him to keep on breathing, you'll do just what I tell you to do.

I want a good horse and free passage out of town.

And you better move fast.

He isn't going to live much longer.

I'll make sure of that.

What do we do, Mr. Randall?

hand, I'd say you better have some more posters printed up.

The man's a killer. We can't let him get away again.

We don't want the sheriff to die either, Judge. You got any idea what Jumbo

would do if he gets out of there?

You heard him threaten me.

Come on out there.

You haven't got all day.

This woman isn't going to last forever.

There must be some way we can get him.

Everything's on his side, Judge.

He's got enough guns and ammunition in that office to hold off an army.

Mr. Randall, you got him once.

care whether my father lives or dies.

He's bleeding to death in there, and the whole town stands around arguing. Look,

Miss Julie, we've got to have a plan.

You want Cain dead.

That's all you care about.

But I want to see my father alive.

Now, hold on, Miss Julie. There's no reason why we can't save your father and

keep Cain in custody, too. We haven't got time to bargain with him. Look, Mr.

Randall, you can out -think and out -shoot Cain. You proved that by bringing

in. What, you think I'm going to go in there and try and bring him up on

You're crazy.

You're the only man in Rogue City who can do it.

Judge, please.

Look, let's give Kane his way.

Bring in his horse, let him come out of that building.

Most likely he'll be using the sheriff as a field at first, but once he's

mounted, he'll be a pure open target for a few seconds at least.

He'd be smart if he went this whole street clear.

Maybe.

But a man with a good eye shooting from across the street there, he could pick

him right out of the saddle.

He'll know it's a trick.

Go on, Miss Randall. Find yourself a good sniping post.

He'll kill my father. I know he will.

You might do that anyway.

Look, Miss Julie, you've got nothing to lose.

All right, what do you say, Randall?

If you wouldn't take a try?

Listen, you think you can keep that window busy there?

Mm -hmm.

You're on.

See if I can put a hole in it.

Be reasonable, Kane.

We're willing to go along with you the whole way.

Get a horse over here, quick.

If you spare the sheriff's life, you'll get the horse and your freedom.

Is that how you want it?

That's how I want it. All right, then.

Bring along that animal.

How about putting the burl under his saddle?

Then we start... No tricks. There's no time.

Your horse is ready for you, Jumbo.

All

right,

Cloven. I'll leave your sheriff right here.

But I still need a guarantee.

You got our word. That ought to be guarantee enough.

No. The lawman's out cold. I want somebody that can walk.

A hostage.

Another... Don't be a fool, Jumbo.

I sent another hostage.

And you better hurry up.

The sheriff's not going to live forever.

This time, hold on to it.

Careful, you're going to get me killed.

He won't hurt me.

All he cares about is getting away.

We stand here talking, my father will be dead.

For all we know, he could be dead right now.

He's still alive. I know it.

She's right, Judge. We can't take the chance.

All right, then.

Cain wants another hostage.

Any volunteers?

I said I'd go.

Now, Julie... Please, please, it's not fair to ask anybody else. No dice. Not

her.

All right, then. How about you?

Sure. I mean, if I wasn't a family man and all, but I've got three kids.

Anyone else?

Oh, it's you, Judge.

You ain't got no family.

You sure haven't sent mine, man.

Kane would kill me right off, and then you'd just have to begin all over again.

Look, we haven't got much longer.

Mr. Randall, you've shown us that you're the one man this town can handle

himself with Kane.

Yeah, I wonder when you're gonna get around to that.

Well, an attached young fella, no ties, good fighting man.

You're not careful, you're gonna flatter me to death.

Now listen to me.

As far as Kane is concerned, our business is finished.

You got a thousand dollar bounty coming to you, Mr. Randall. You want to protect

it, don't you?

I earned that thousand dollars once.

I wouldn't want to have to do it again.

I'm going to give you people two more minutes.

Then I'm going to put the sheriff out of his misery.

Judge, in my personal opinion, I'd give him what he wants.

Indeed we will.

We're giving him the hostage you asked for.

Take off the gun belt.

Judge, I don't know if we can... Ask Julie.

Julie, what's more important, your father's life or the life of a bounty

That doesn't even need an answer, and you know it.

Stands to reason, Randall. You got a better chance of coming out alive than

of the rest of us.

Sure.

I'm your pigeon, huh?

It's either Kane's gun or ours.

Might as well do the noble thing.

Well, take this, too.

That far enough, Randall?

All right, take it easy, Kane.

No guns, no tricks, no nothing.

Get closer to the door.

Move slow.

Get your hands behind you.

Now turn around.

Happy to see you again.

Yeah.

All right.

Now it's a shirt.

Huh?

Take a look.

How long has he been dead?

I got him with the first shot.

I have to admit, it worked out real good.

I've got me a living, breathing bounty hunter for a hostage.

Listen to me, King.

If I... Come

on,

bounty hunter.

We're going out in public.

We're going to take him with us, too?

They won't know he's dead until we're long gone.

You want to keep that head, you won't tell them any different.

Good. Tell him to hurry, please.

All right, Kane, you got your hostage. How about our sheriff?

Jackson, here.

Get across the street and take cover.

As soon as Kane's in the clear, start shooting. Oh, wait a minute, Judge. You

take over post right here. Be ready for him.

You go with him.

That's not the way Kane wants it.

You gave him your promise.

Honey, we've got to save your daddy right now. That's all that matters.

What about Randall?

He might be caught in the line of fire.

Might turn out like that, yes.

But you answer it yourself. Who's more important to this town?

Our faithful sheriff or a bounty hunter hasn't done a thing for the citizens of

Rogue City.

Randall's in the way, that's his hard luck.

When his honor sentences a man to death, he doesn't much care who goes along

with him.

Kogan, tell them people to pile their guns in the middle of the street.

Sniper's ready.

Come on, Kogan, you haven't done all day.

All right.

their guns and do as he says.

We've done what you want. Now what?

I want everybody in a tight little bundle, right where I can see them.

Start walking.

I don't think you're going to make it, Kane.

What?

Now listen, there's rifles all over that street, and they're pointing this way,

pal. If they get me, they get you, too.

And if they don't, I will.

Yeah, well, I don't think it's going to bother them too much.

You brought me here, remember?

You're a big hero in this crummy town.

Things have changed.

I'm not going

to

do you any good.

Shut up.

Why is he waiting so long?

He's afraid.

The snipers?

No, he couldn't have seen them.

What then?

As long as my father's alive, he's got no reason...

You better face up to it, Miss Julie.

He's alive.

He has to be.

Cain's worried.

There can only be one good reason.

He doesn't want us to know that your father's dead.

All right.

No need for caution now.

See those rifles over there?

Take a look.

I just pointed you now.

They pointed us.

You and me are on the same team.

We can use our guns freely now.

Wait, Judge. We have to be sure.

No question in my mind at all, Julie.

Kane's been lying to us.

The sheriff's dead and gone by now.

And I think it's high time that we put a finish to the man who killed him.

There must be some way to get Randall out of there.

Now, without maybe one of us being hurt, and there's no reason for that, Kane's

going to kill him anyway.

Judge, this isn't a court of law. You can't just condemn a man to death

because... That's what Cain did to Julie's father. But you're not sure.

He may still be alive in there.

Miss Julie, I know just how you feel. Now, I think the best thing for you...

Randall!

Mr. Randall! Can you hear me?

You stay away from here!

Is my father alive or dead?

How is the truth?

Julie, he wouldn't dare to say it.

Cain would kill him before he could get the words out.

The truth, Mr. Randall, I've got... to know.

Don't get noble.

Truth or no truth, they'll sell you out. You know they will.

If I tell them the sheriff's alive?

Police will have a chance as long as they think he's alive.

Might be able to wangle a deal.

Answer me, Mr. Randall, please.

The words I tell them the sheriff's dead?

I'm on their side, huh?

They cut you to pieces to get to me.

You said so yourself.

I tell them the sheriff's alive, that puts me on your side.

Either way, I ended with dirt in my face, right?

Be smart, Randall.

As long as they think he's still breathing, we have a chance.

Mr. Randall!

Go on.

Answer.

Go ahead.

He's dead and he's been dead all along!

Truly sorry.

There's no need to hang back now.

Let's organize this thing and finish it right.

Judge, we can't kill Randall.

Since when do you carry a flag for bounty hunters?

He could have lied about my father.

Saved himself.

But he didn't.

He told the truth.

How often does a foot -scraping bounty man get a chance to die a hero's death?

A martyr's death. There's a difference.

Being a martyr is better than being a bounty hunter.

Being alive is better than being dead. Would you say that about Jumbo Kane,

All right, you men.

You'll be returning your fire.

When it does, I want a bullet in every square inch of that office.

He's alive. You hear that?

Randall was lying. He's still alive.

He's living and breathing.

If you don't believe it, come here and get him.

Julie.

Here's your father. Look him over.

these things off me.

Mr. Randall, we owe you a very large debt of gratitude.

Only a thousand dollars is what you owe me.

I'll do more than that.

Rogue City needs a new lawman.

I think the whole town will agree there's...

Nobody better fit for the job than you. Am I right, Tom?

Yeah, sure, Judge, sure.

There you are, son.

The job's yours.

Randall, I know how you feel. I can't honestly say I blame you.

That's nice of you.

I wish I knew how to apologize.

This town isn't as bad as all that.

You ought to stay around.

You got friends here.

Depends what you mean by friends.

Sometimes an enemy is a lot easier to recognize.
