One thing you gotta say about this Jason is the driver, he's defendable.

He ain't missed a single chuck hole in the road.

I gotta take exception to that, Jack.

The way I figure it, he ain't even hit the road yet.

I always heard there wasn't any roads in Kansas.

Now I'm beginning to believe it.

Are you boys complaining about the transportation?

It's free, isn't it?

I got no complaint about the price.

You think of something funny?

When I was a girl, my mother told me I should never travel with men without a

chaperone.

And now look at me.

Camp on over here.

These people can get off now.

We're going to stay here for the night.

Will you help me down?

Yes, ma 'am.

Josh, through the cup.

All right, everybody up. We're going to go to bed.

You going to tuck us in bed again, Josh?

Sure. If you don't get used to it, you're not going to get that kind of

at Leavenworth.

Maybe you're going to tell us about a bedtime story, too.

Yeah, why not? Cover me, Jay.

Once upon a time, there were three men and a little girl on the way to state

penitentiary. The men, 10 years for armed robbery. The girl, 10 and 20 for

manslaughter. Crime doesn't pay. End of story. Your first check.

How would you know?

I tried it once.

You ain't gonna stake this out again tonight, are you? Josh, I've been

to that wagon wheel so much, I'm beginning to feel like a horse.

You're beginning to look like one, too.

Good night, gentlemen. Sweet dreams.

My turn next?

Your turn next.

Maybe we could sit here and talk a while.

What do you want to talk about?

I don't know. I'll think of something.

Yeah, I'll bet you would.

Come on, let's go.

Good evening, friend.

Howdy.

You look kind of soft, don't you?

Well, there's no cause for alarm.

I saw your fire as I was passing by.

You know, a man gets nervous crossing Indian country on his own.

I'd appreciate to travel with you for a ways.

Which way are you traveling?

East.

You shouldn't run into Indians going that way.

I've always held the thought that one Indian is one too many, especially if

Pawnee.

Well, I'd like to let you travel with us, but I'm afraid I can't.

I, uh...

Take it your friends feel the same way.

Well, you might say they don't like people who have as much as I do.

Then I beg your pardon for the intrusion, friend.

Good night.

Good night.

I can remember driving along this road and never seeing anybody.

This country's getting crowded.

You ever see him before, Jase?

Nope. Never laid eyes on him, but I can recollect.

You figure he walked in here by accident or he knew what he was doing.

I don't know.

Maybe he's curious about the freight we're carrying.

Maybe... Now get some sleep, Jason. You can spell me on guard.

That'd be like asking to get shot.

Oh, well, if you'd rather, I'd be glad to spell you driving a wagon.

need any more help, Josh, you can always call on me.

You just unlock these bracelets and give me back my gun.

Put the candle out.

Please, put the candle out.

That man outside.

Did he tell you what he wanted?

Yeah, company.

He wants me.

So does the state of Kansas.

I said what I meant.

He wants to kill me.

At least you think so.

I don't think it.

I know it.

What do you want me to do?

You could kill him first.

Oh, sure.

You being paid by the law to protect me on my way to prison?

Yeah, $2 ,000.

All right.

Who is that fellow?

His name's Davis.

Your friend of yours?

Used to be.

You have a good reason for him to kill you, then.

Oh, he's got a reason.

I was convicted of killing his brother.

Go back here.

Yeah, and he's got a fresh horse.

Doesn't make sense.

Again, maybe it does.

Stop the horses, Chase. Give him a breather, huh?

Whoa!

Howdy. Did you have a good night's rest?

I tossed a little.

Too bad.

I slept well.

I'd forgotten, but would you say you were hidden?

I didn't.

I merely said I was going east.

You new in this part of the country?

I've been here long enough.

Say, tell me something. You ever have any trouble dogging somebody's trail

that?

No. Well, you'd look here now, would you?

See that hawk?

Yeah.

Maybe that's why.

You want to ride along with me because you scared Indians, right?

That's a good reason, isn't it?

That's not what the girl said.

What girl?

Young lady that's traveling with us. She says you're out to kill her.

She shot your brother.

Do I look like a murderer?

I don't know. What does a murderer look like?

Maybe like the girl you just mentioned.

Now, look.

It's 20 miles from here to Leavenworth.

You could make them about three hours on horseback. It won't take us all day.

Why don't you go on ahead?

I'm in no hurry.

I'd like to know what you want.

Money.

I got a wagon full of people that want that.

I know.

It's my money they wanted.

Now I want my money back.

And the girl?

My brother helped them rob my bank.

She was his wife.

She killed him, all right.

Look, why don't you go on home? You let the law handle this for you, and they

get your money back.

They haven't yet.

Now, all you have to do is lend me your four prisoners for just one night.

I'll see you get them back.

I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

Not what I'm getting paid for.

You know my name is Randall.

How would I know where to find your wagon?

I've never had great respect for bounty hunters.

It wouldn't bother me a bit to shoot one.

Looks like you ran that fellow off for good.

There hadn't been a sign of him since this morning.

Well, he'll be back.

Why should he be?

He said he didn't want any trouble with the law.

Yeah, but he wants that money, and he might kill to get it.

He could have shot you in the back before now if he had a mind to.

A man might change his mind.

You want me to take first watch?

You figure maybe I need the rest, huh?

Well, I wasn't doing it for you.

The way I got it figured, I got to get you rested up for my own self

-protection.

I don't want to sleep.

If I need any help, I'll holler and you hear me running.

Let's go.

It's that time again.

Jack, you awake?

Now, don't tell me you want to turn over, because I can't do it unless I

this wagon with me.

That bounty hunter's getting awful sleepy.

Well, he's human, ain't he?

Well, sometimes I got my doubts.

Don't you worry, Hal.

One time, him and me used to be good friends.

Eh, it's so friendly now.

Well, that's what the marshal's paying him for.

I never seen a bounty hunter yet that had a friend while he was doing a job.

Yeah, but that ain't what's worrying me.

I got a funny feeling Davis is going to come back.

Still, the bounty hunter's worried not quite bothering me.

What are you doing out here?

You forgot to lock me in my bunk tonight.

Well, you know I wouldn't tie you down there to be a sitting target.

Maybe you'd rather have me walk around and get killed.

Listen, why don't you break down? Just tell me where the money is.

I'll make a deal with you.

What am I offering?

Do you ever take a look sometime in broad daylight?

Yeah,

I already have.

What else?

Half the money.

Not enough.

Deal I want to make, I need it all.

You mean the deal with Davis?

You think that he's going to settle for money alone?

I don't know.

He wants to see me killed along with the others.

You got a point, dear, and I can see there's a blaming.

Look, what do you intend to do? Just let us stay here and get killed?

I'm going to try the best I know how to get you all back to living worth one

piece.

I've got to collect, lady.

Let's go, Jase.

What's wrong, Josh?

I don't know anything about Sam except I'm getting awful sleepy.

Yeah.

Well, as long as Davis hasn't showed, I'm satisfied.

Like I said before, I've got a feeling he's going to show.

You go to your church and I'll go to mine.

Second thought, I'll go to your church.

I'm not going to like it.

Josh, look behind you.

Thank you.

What are you doing, Doc?

Quiet. Get under the wagon.

You know, it's the first nighthawk I've heard all night.

I didn't get a good look at them when they lit that fire.

I think those two friends you brought back with them are Pawnee.

Oh, that's fine.

What I understand all you have to do to get them to work for you is to promise

them a skill.

Well, we've got three good ones under that wagon.

I'll put them on the market and throw in a squad of boot.

Oh, you wouldn't sell us out to the Indians, would you?

They'd be getting cheated.

But if they're willing, I'll trade.

Randall!

Can you hear me, Randall?

Yeah, I hear you.

Send your prisoners out.

You can have them back tomorrow.

You wouldn't do that, Josh. You wouldn't do that to a friend.

You can double -cross my brother and then kill him.

It's your job to protect us until we get to the penitentiary. That's what you're

getting paid for.

Maybe you better talk to me. That's why I'm getting paid for it, too.

We give you more money than you've ever seen.

He's saying the truth, Josh.

All we figured on doing was hiding the money till we serve our terms.

All you've got to do is see we get the prison safe.

Yeah.

Where's the money?

He doesn't know where the money is.

None of them do.

Is that right?

Yeah. You've got a lot of faith in women, haven't you?

It wasn't her. It was her husband. He double -crossed us and hid the money.

That's why she killed him.

Well, you never were too smart.

Maybe we could trade her, Josh.

Doesn't sound like she'd be much of a loss to the human race.

You're never going to make a deal with Davis.

He isn't going to break the law.

And if he does, nobody's going to be alive to prove it.

I don't know.

He helped rob his own bank.

And I got a ten -year sentence for a killing I didn't do.

You see, I didn't kill my husband.

Davis did.

He killed his own brother because he wanted all the money for himself.

Only he didn't know that Billy had given it to me to hide.

From what I hear, that's not what the jury said.

Well,

I was working in a honky -tonk when I met Billy.

Who's going to believe me in court?

out there.

I don't figure they plan on coming in here.

There's three of them, Josh.

I know there's three.

Looks like Davis double -crossed us all.

I'd take it as a real favor if you'd turn me loose and give me a gun.

I'm a lot of things, Josh, but I ain't a liar.

I won't run.

All right, I'm a gambler.

Jase, give me a pistol.

Well, how about joining me?

I'm not that much of a gambler, friend.

Which side do you want me to take?

Out that way.

And easy, Jason.

Sally, why don't you get out of here? You only got a single cuff.

I know.

I got a front row seat. I want to wait and see what happens.

Betty. Well, that's bad enough.

Where is he?

I don't know. I didn't see his gun flash.

You run, miss.

Anytime.

Give me your hand, Jase.

Just in here.

How are you feeling?

Have you ever been shot?

Once or twice.

Don't ask foolish questions.

Well, I'll get you a doctor as soon as we get to Leavenworth.

Settle for a drink right now.

Who's that bank money belong to now?

I don't know.

You, I guess. You don't want to know where it is.

I mean, according to the law.

Davis and Billy were both orphans. Now they're dead. Maybe I'm next of kin.

Sounds reasonable.

I'll tell you where it is.

And if it turns out that it belongs to me, I want you all to know it goes four

ways.

You come and visit us sometime when we go into business.

Say, in about ten years.

Oh, I still say that Jason's dependable.

I'd hate to have him miss a hole and spoil his record.
