All through with your ledges, Father?

Yes, yes, dear.

And we're still in the black, I assume?

Yes, when we're in the red, my dear, we move.

I know.

Take the priors out of Pryor's Fork, and what have you got?

A fork in the road.

No,

you stay here.

I'll go see.

Henry, kill him.

After he has his trial, he'll hang then.

You saw what he just did. Kill him. A trial and a hang in the proper way.

He'll never go to trial. I swear that.

Angela. I'll see to it.

He goes to Tuttle City Courthouse tomorrow.

You're not man enough to get him there, Henry.

You know where Pryor's Pork is?

About four or five miles that way, I reckon.

We're going there. You want to ride with us?

My name's Ash Langford. This here's George Aswell.

Howdy. My name's Randall.

You fellas live around here?

Oh, no. We come up from West Texas.

We're just a couple of peelers looking for work.

You hunt work, too?

You might say that.

Looking for a fella.

Oh, yeah?

We've seen a few.

What's he look like?

Oh, about my size, dark -complected. Name's Quinn.

Yeah, we seen a couple like that.

Pretty common -sounding fella.

Yeah, well, this fella's got an uncommon habit.

Is that right?

What's that?

He kills people.

Sure don't look like much.

I don't know about you, but I done rode myself bone dry.

I'll buy you one, Randall.

Oh, no thanks. I gotta go stable my horse.

Maybe I'll see you all later.

Two whiskeys, Mr. Bartender.

You men got business in Pryor's Fork?

We don't know yet, Sheriff.

Yeah, maybe we do and maybe we don't.

Well, you've got till morning to find out.

If you're not employed by then, you leave.

Well, Sheriff, we ain't done nothing.

No, it's nothing personal.

I just don't like a lot of loose guns around.

At least not now.

Oh, I see. Big doings, huh, Sheriff?

Well, like you say, maybe and maybe not.

Pass the word on to your friend.

Oh, it's different with him.

How's that?

He has got business.

Yes, sir.

Quite a fella.

I'm sorry to hear that, but if you're the sheriff, you're the man I'm hunting

for. What's your trouble?

Oh, no trouble, no trouble.

I've been looking for this fellow. His name's Quinn.

He's right here in the poster.

I followed him up through Tuttle City and ended up here.

$600 reward.

I'd go a long way for that myself.

If I ever saw a bounty hunter before... Well, I put my pants on the same as you

do, one leg at a time.

Come out in the back with me.

Is that your man?

Looks like he's your man now.

Hey, Chef, when do we leave?

Tonight. Don't worry, Quint. We'll make it. We'll make it, all right. But one of

us will be belly down over a saddle.

Yeah. What's he for?

Protection for Quint.

See, Quint here killed Sam Pryor.

Pryor? Pryor's forks?

Pryor built this town.

You have a lynching problem here, do you?

Not really. Not really?

What do you call it, Chef?

Look, it's your bound duty to get me to Tuttle City for trial alive.

You heard what that woman said she'd do.

Sheriff, I'm talking to you.

Happy and a woman don't change your duty.

It'd be one thing if somebody got that fellow scared to dream.

You been talking about me, Henry?

Oh, Angela, this is Mr.

Randall. Randall.

Angela Pryor. How do you do, Mr. Randall? How do you do, ma 'am?

You still plan on leaving tonight, Henry?

Court opens Friday, 10 a .m. in Tuttle City.

We'll be there.

Oh, no, you won't.

You aren't proving anything by this, Henry.

Angela, go home.

Go home and let me do my job.

Don't you tell me about your job. I know all about it. My father gave it to you.

It wasn't exactly a gift.

Oh, I'd forgotten.

It was more like a trade, wasn't it?

But the price was right.

Every day I've been your father's sheriff.

Been on loss, Angela.

I'd hope one day to... Time is something you can't recoup.

Time and lost opportunity.

I'm going to hang Harry Quint.

Listen, ma 'am, now, this is none of my business, but why don't you let somebody

else do it for you after the trial, and then it's legal.

Trial?

Just what kind of a trial would it be, Mr. Randall?

A fair one, I imagine.

Harry Quint's entitled to a short rope.

Men like that need exterminating so this country will be fit for decent people

to live in.

This is wild country out here, ma 'am. I don't think another killing is going to

help tame it.

But I do believe that the law will.

The law had its chance.

Harry Quint stood two murder trials before and all he ever got was eight

in the Yuma prison.

Happens all the time. Men kill and then just go free to kill some more.

But not here.

Not this time.

She means to do exactly as she says.

You sound a little scared.

I am.

What? She's just a woman. She can't cause you much trouble?

She's her father's daughter.

You see, Sam Pryor always got what he wanted.

Always did what he said.

She's got his money now and his power.

Plenty of easy guns at bargain rates.

Look,

I've got to ride back to Tuttle City if you want. I'll ride gun for you.

No.

Why not?

People know I've been called on this.

I can't hit you now.

Well, nobody says you have to do it alone.

I do.

All right.

Randall, thanks anyway.

Find your bad man yet?

No, somebody got there ahead of me.

Find a job?

Nope, but things are perking up a little. Yeah, we got prospects.

Have a drink with us.

Maybe a little later. I get to see a fella.

Give us two.

You're a little junkie.

Are you sure now you don't need any help, huh? I told you no.

What got you so all -fired interested in helping me?

Well, if you want me to tell you the truth, $600 for him.

We'll get there.

Belly down over a saddle.

Don't worry, Quint.

There's a rope waiting whichever way you go.

You know, Angela Pryor is a very handsome woman.

She must have had a lot of men chasing her. She did.

But none of them were good enough.

That include you, did it?

Include me.

Who decided that?

Sam Pryor.

See, he didn't have a friend in the world, but he was strong.

A lot of people afraid of him.

But Sam didn't like some fella hanging around Angela.

He let it be known.

The boy wouldn't scare her. He bought off.

Gave him money, land, or a good secure job.

Yeah, he's gone now.

She's all alone.

I reckon that's the way he wanted it.

Sorry about the quit business, though.

She couldn't buy herself a pack of trouble.

You know, you wouldn't be all by yourself out there. Not exactly.

He'll be along.

See, he wants to get to Petal City as bad as I do.

Hold your horse word in.

What are you going to do, Randall?

I'll tell you what I'd like to do.

I'm going to take you to Tuttle City.

Now who's yuppie?

Say, I just forgot my tobacco pouch.

Well, get it.

Oh, here it is.

I just seen the sheriff.

Yeah, they got him laid out down at the barber shop.

Oh, he looks awful nice.

All the holes plugged up.

I thought maybe you might have some use for me because I already ate my

breakfast. While you're at it, Randall, I like my eggs hard.

Yes.

Sheriff Wilson, he's a nice fella.

Kind of nervy, but awful nice.

Oh, say, if you want some breakfast, right next door at the saloon, they got

good chuck there.

And you will stay awake, won't you?

Oh, yes.

ride, please, and if you could fix me up a couple of sandwiches, I'd sure

appreciate it.

You might late for that drink.

Guess I am at that.

You fellas plan on camping in here?

No. I tell you, though, it's a lot better than sleeping out in the street.

You know, they're real nice to customers in here. They didn't charge us a thing

for sleeping.

Now, back in New Asia, they... You fellas been in here all night?

Well, look around the town. There ain't no other place to go.

Hear any shooting?

You bet your bottom dollar.

Don't suppose you saw any of it, huh?

Oh, no, sir. You know, when you hear a noise like that, best thing you can do

put something between you and it.

After all, somebody said they got a sheriff.

Yeah, that's right.

I ain't seen a sheriff get it in a long time.

No. Tell me he's carrying a fellow to trial.

Wonder what'll happen to him.

I'm taking him.

How far is the Deprize house?

It's just up the street.

Only decent looking place in town.

You going up there to see her?

Won't do no good, not now especially.

Why not now especially?

Killed a sheriff, didn't she?

What's to stop her from killing you?

Not a thing.

I don't see that we have anything to discuss.

I think we do, ma 'am.

I'm waiting, Mr. Randall.

You, uh... Sorry at all?

About Henry?

Yes, I'm sorry.

Very sorry.

I see.

You think I killed Henry, don't you?

That is what you think.

I tell you the truth, ma 'am. I don't know what to think. You threatened him

you threatened Quinn.

Now, nobody can prove anything.

And nobody can prove that I didn't either.

Only I didn't.

Now, is that all you came to discuss?

No, ma 'am. I come here to talk to you about Harry Quinn.

I've said all I have to say about that.

My father was a great man in this territory.

And now he's dead because of that...

Sneak thief.

I've seen a lot of killings.

Now, you believe me when I tell you that nothing's solved by it.

Why are you so concerned about Harry Quint?

I'm not. I'm just taking him to trial.

Just a public -minded citizen.

No, ma 'am. He's worth $600 to me.

$600?

Well, I'll just double that if you'll turn him over to me.

Oh, thank you, ma 'am. Then you'll have to stay, Mr. Randall, dead or alive.

Get him off me, ma 'am, because I'll kill him.

All right.

Drop the knife.

Kick it over here.

Mr. Randall, Harry Quint will never get to Tuttle City alive.

And neither will you.

Oh, shoot.

You mind bringing that fellow's horse over here?

You want to unlock those?

We're going now, huh? We're going now.

Put these on.

Much obliged to you, old -timer.

Ooh.

Now, look, let's you and I understand each other.

You can ride that horse a little bit faster, can't you?

Sure. The horse gives out, I gotta walk the last 20 miles to Tuttle City.

Uh -uh.

You expect to meet somebody out here?

Don't know nobody around here.

My first visit, you might say.

Couple of fellas from West Texas?

That ring a bell?

Don't know what you're talking about.

Uh -huh.

Okay, let's go.

So you finally got your bad man.

Yeah. You, uh, give up looking for work, did you, as well?

Nope.

I reckon we found ourselves a job after all. And, uh, where's Langford? He's,

uh, right there behind you.

Who?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sirree. It's a good job. Pays good, too.

You better hand me that thing butt first before I blow you out of the saddle.

I have a nice souvenir for you, ma 'am.

When you turn down a deal, Mr. Randall, you just got to figure that somebody

else is going to take it.

Oh, you must have got these two bargain price cheap.

400 for Quint, 100 for you.

I care for your values, ma 'am. Just good business, then.

Inherited from my father.

Get out of your horse, Randall.

Move over here.

We ought to get on with it.

Oh, no.

I want Quint hanged. Well, pay us now, ma 'am, and you won't have to wait

to watch.

I'll stay.

You don't seem to understand, ma 'am.

They don't want you to stay.

You know, buddy boy, I like you a lot, but you talk too much.

Oh, let him talk, Ash.

A man always gets a say before he dies.

But you're right, Randall.

A hanging ain't a pretty thing to watch. We figured we'd spare the lady.

Why don't you tell her the truth?

What is the truth?

They don't plan to hang Quint at all.

See, I ran into these two fellas before when I was first coming into town.

They said they were both looking for jobs.

It seemed kind of funny to me, seeing it's a mining town.

So I got to thinking about it and took a look at the poster, and there it was,

right in black and white.

Quint had two partners he rode with, and they were both from West Texas.

That's right, Randall.

Can't blame a man for saving his neck, now can you?

Just do me one favor, will you, Miss Pryor?

What's that?

Have him hang Quint Burt.

Quint!

Mr.

Randall. It's all right, I understand.

Go ahead and get back on your horse.

I saw you at Henry Wilson's funeral today.

It was nice of you to come.

He was a good man.

I'll decide and get to know him a little better.

I've been feeling that way myself lately.

If you're ever in San Francisco, I'd be pleased if you'd call on me.

What are you going to be doing up there?

Oh, I'm going to try to recoup some lost years and forget a lot of old memories.

Remember now, call on me.

I'll do that.

And, uh, I thank you, ma 'am.

Oh, no.

Thank you.
