Where'd you get them?

Now look, Will. Where?

I found them wandering around the hills.

What, you think I'm lying?

You know very well as an Indian pony, more than likely Apache.

All I know is that I found them, and I'm going to keep them.

But go, Will.

You're going to be awful sorry.

All right.

Get out.

Right now.

You know, you'd like that, wouldn't you?

Then the whole place would be yours.

But that ain't what Pa wanted.

I'm staying.

You got no right to even mention his name.

Pa'd live another ten years if he hadn't worried about you.

Look, Will...

I, uh... I'll get you out of it.

But after that, you're through.

I want you off this place right away.

You understand?

I'm glad you come for him.

We had a chestnut. Used to wander away.

Where are the furs he was carrying?

What about it, Merv?

The pony carrying furs?

I didn't see any, not a one.

That's the truth. You took the horse, you took the furs.

Never mind.

Are you trying to win all the money in town, Josh?

Yeah.

Well, you know, there's some things you don't need money for.

Here's to Myra.

May all of her friends with hearts of gold have purses of gold to match.

You know, right now, I'd say you're about the best friend I've got.

Well, uh, Merv, what have you been doing?

Outbehaving myself, which is more than I could say for some people.

Who's your friend?

Well, I thought all Hellgate knew, uh, Josh Randall.

Irv Bascom, Josh.

Mr. Randall's an old friend of mine.

How old?

Hmm. The two weeks he's been in town.

Well, I was just wondering, he's got such a big reputation of being a bounty

hunter.

I wonder why he is now collecting the price of that Indian who killed my

brother.

Well, I'd be kind of scared to go out in that Indian territory.

Especially for the $500 the marshal's putting up. Well, now, those Indians

aren't hostile.

Killed your brother, didn't they?

Tell you what I'll do.

I'll give you $500 of my own. That'll make $1 ,000.

If you're asking me to do the job, there's not near enough money.

All right, big mouth.

I'll tell you what.

We'll cut for it.

If I win, you go out and get the Indian for $500.

If you win, I'll add another $1 ,500 myself.

Cards.

As soon as you come up with the money?

What's the matter? Don't you trust me?

Look, friend, this was your deal, not mine. As soon as you come up with the $1

,500 and put it in the hands of a third party, that's when I leave.

I'll leave you.

Forget it.

If I write you an IOU for $1 ,500, will you guarantee it?

Yeah, I guess.

What you'll inherit from your brother should be worth more than that.

Sure, I'll stand by the note.

Hey, you really figure you'll find Charlie Red Cloud?

$2 ,000, I'm sure you're going to try it.

Well, for myself, I figure you're a darn fool for going up into that country.

Every time you shoe a horse, you take a chance of getting your brain kicked out.

A man's got to have his own way of life.

I wouldn't figure too much on collecting from that Merv Bascom.

He's always been a four -flusher.

And worse, always will.

Yeah, I heard.

You ever been through Rabbit Ears Pass?

Not lately.

Well, a few white men have and never come back.

Now, look, would you do me a favor and... All right.

Pay me first.

Six dollars.

Give me four shoes and some nails.

What for?

These'll last more than 500 miles.

I didn't say they wouldn't. All I want is four extra shoes and some nails to

pack in my gear.

I still can't see what you want the extra shoes for.

You know, Benjamin Franklin once said, for the one of a nail, they lost a shoe.

For the one of a shoe, they lost a horse.

For the one of a horse, they lost a rider.

That don't make good sense.

Yeah, I know, but the shoes do. Now, could I please have them?

All right.

Come here.

Look at me, me.

Hello, Trayvon.

I heard you're looking for a job.

The pay is right.

Five hundred.

Who do I have to kill?

Take it easy, Charlie.

You want my furs?

Take them.

Your furs are safe, Charlie. I want you.

Why me?

I'm taking you in for killing Will Baskin a week ago Tuesday.

Get him.

I didn't kill Baskin.

I just got my horse back.

That's got nothing to do with me, friend.

All I'm interested in is taking you in and getting the money.

You bounty hunter?

Yeah.

Why take me alive?

They pay for my body. Call it self -preservation if you want to, Charlie.

I know there's a thousand Apache ears out here turned this way listening.

You're right.

And if there are a thousand Apache ears, there are also a thousand eyes.

Tell me, bounty hunter, how are you going to get me past them?

I don't know.

But for $2 ,000, I'm sure going to think of a way.

Put your hands behind your neck.

Did you see the lawyer?

Better than I thought.

How much did he leave you?

Praise to say, about $10 ,000 more than I expected.

$32 ,000.

As I told you, with you and me, the sky's the limit.

You keep saying that.

Well, I'm telling you.

The only thing that bothers me is that you sent Randall out to bring in that

Indian.

Honey, that's going to turn out to be the smartest thing I ever did.

Figure it out yourself.

What happens if that Indian tells Randall you did the shooting?

Not a thing.

One, you don't think those Indians are going to let Randall bring Charlie back

here?

He's not stupid. You know, he could make it.

Two, if, and I do say if, the bounty hunters should get

as far as Ravidere Pass, I guarantee he won't get through.

So whatever happens, Josh Randall and Charlie Red Cloud are dead men.

No.

We're a while ahead of it.

Maybe not.

You track almost as good as an Indian.

You watch everything you think.

If I ever want to get back to a warm bed and some cold beer, I'm going to have

to think.

You think it pretty good, but you've missed two things.

Just two?

You think I killed Baskin, and you won't believe that I went to get my horse and

my furs.

Listen, Charlie, don't waste your breath on me. I got nothing to do with whether

you're innocent or guilty.

Thought you might like to ride out of here alive.

Thought has occurred to me.

Your plan was good, changing clothes.

Any Apaches seeing us would figure I caught you.

But what happens when I don't come back at my regular time?

They'll go to my trap lines looking for me.

And they'll find the same hoof prints you left to get me to follow you.

Yeah, I thought maybe they would. Why, yeah, roll along some extra horseshoes.

You're going to shoo that pony of yours.

And when the friends start falling, they're going to pull that horse all

Patty's half acre.

In the meantime, you and I will be getting closer and closer to rabbit ear

packs. You going to turn my horse loose?

Say so, Charlie. That's the way it's got to be.

I'm going to ride my horse double on him.

So you might as well go and get your pony and we'll get the work done right

I put this under his tail. He's been running for a long time.

It's going to hurt you a lot more than it's going to hurt me.

How about this place right here, huh?

You can see the whole pass from here.

Yeah, I think if Randall gets this far alive, he'll never get out of that

country.

All right, Mr. Randall, come on.

You can have him.

All I want is that Indian.

And all I want is that 500.

And those who forget it.

Well, so far, so good.

Even if they catch you a horse and start doubling back after us, you'll have a

hard time reading hoofprints on this ground. Let's go.

Bye -bye.

Both on one horse slows you down, eh?

One horse and two riders.

Makes no difference to me.

Now maybe you believe I didn't kill Batman.

Give me the gun, Bill.

Someone's trying to keep us from getting back to town. Why?

Because they're afraid of what I can say in a white man's court.

I'm only using one thing now. That's getting out of here in one piece.

I want to know one thing from you right now.

Whose side are you on?

If you die, it won't be alone.

You can stay here and roll some rocks down there.

All right.

Want to get your head blown off?

I just wanted to see what was going on down there. I can see. One or both of

them crawled off.

There where the rocks are fighting.

Alright, that's it.

Alright, lay the rifles on the ground.

Take those pistols out real easy.

Lay them down.

You'll never make it.

Down the hill

They

start off

with suppose you tell us Indians down there you're going to tell me because

want to I Do want to

I just thought of something.

I wonder who is going to end up paying a bounty for you.

$1 ,500.

There you are, Josh.

Now the other $500 is the marshal story.

You think you're pretty smart, don't you?

And I'll take this back to Charlie Red Cloud. Probably belonged to him in the

first place.
