Hello, Bart.

Hi.

Josh.

Hey, you're looking fine, aren't you? You're getting a little bigger around

bread basket.

It's all that easy living.

What's the matter with you?

It's a funny thing.

Who should I just be thinking of?

You. And what happens?

Who should show up from right out of the blue?

Y -O -U.

I just got a telegram.

What telegram?

From you.

Me?

Oh, come on. What, you kidding me, Art? No, I'm not kidding.

Well, I got a telegram from you in Colfax.

Not from me, you didn't. Well, it had your name on it. It mentioned a man

named... Decker.

Decker?

Yeah, Decker. D -E -C -K -E -R. Decker.

I'm going to tell you the truth, Josh. I didn't send you any telegram.

No.

But... Take a look.

What?

Mr. Randall?

Mr. Randall?

Josh?

Yeah?

I was just thinking, if you're figuring on laying over till morning, why don't

you stay at my place? Alice would be glad to have you.

Well, thanks anyway, Art, but I'm broke.

I've got to go out and earn a living.

All right. Tell Alice I said hello, will you? I see.

Mr. Randall?

What can I do for you?

I suppose you think this is strange.

Not at all. I sent that telegram.

That's strange.

Won't you sit down, Mr. Randall? I don't want to be conspicuous.

I want you to be the one to get Paul Decker.

Why?

I'm Mrs. Decker.

Come on, Lukey.

Wait. It's not what you're thinking.

My husband is innocent.

Does that make any difference?

Not much.

If I told you he was guilty, would that make a difference?

No, ma 'am.

I understood you weren't prejudiced in these cases.

It's just business for me.

There are those who shoot first and ask questions later.

I understand you're not one of those. That's why I sent you the telegram.

I want my husband alive to prove his innocence.

That's why I'm telling you where he is.

But you haven't told me yet.

But I've got to be sure.

Can you tell me? Can you promise me he'll live?

It's up to him.

It's a two days ride.

Do you know the Willow Ridge area?

Yeah.

There's an old shack on the South Ridge.

Used to be a stopover cabin.

No word is.

Paul's there.

He won't make any trouble.

Then he won't get it.

Wait.

Give him this.

Then he'll know I sent you.

It's my wedding ring.

We spent the first night of our honeymoon in that cabin.

Seems so long ago now.

All right, bag of beans. What else will it be, Josh?

Well, let me have a short side of bacon, about like that, huh?

Short side of bacon?

Small bag of beans, short side of bacon. That's a pretty short order, Josh.

Yeah, well, to tell you the truth, Ollie, I'm just a little bit short this

Randall? Don't you answer when you're spoken to?

Trying to avoid trouble, friend.

I thought you were looking for trouble.

And tell him what he can do, Bert.

Forget about Paul Decker.

That make sense to you, Randall?

No.

We want Decker.

Still fair game?

Mm -hmm.

Why?

Because he cut down George Taggart in cold blood.

My name is Taggart.

Mine, too.

I'm Wade Taggart.

That's Bert.

George was our brother.

Make sense to you now, Randall?

Yeah.

Side order of bacon.

Anything else, Josh?

Box of 45s.

I'm waiting on this man.

I set a box at 45.

Same at 30 -30s.

Now some rope.

Rope? How much?

About enough to hang a man.

Decker killed our brother.

We're going to take care of him.

Anybody who tries to interfere is going to get the same.

How much do I owe you?

I wouldn't want to mess with those guys.

And neither would I.

Have an apricot.

If you were to bring me in dead, you'd get the same bounty?

Same.

Dead, I might be less trouble to you.

You might.

How do I know I can trust you? I guess you don't.

Except when your wife did.

She could be wrong.

I didn't come in here shooting.

I gave you the edge.

I gotta be sure.

You can be sure of one thing. If the Taggart brothers catch up to you, it

gonna matter.

You saw them?

Yeah. Yesterday afternoon, just south of Verde Pass.

And, uh... They were carrying a rope.

So you better make up your mind, Decker.

George Taggart drew on me. I shot him in self -defense.

If I can get back to Woodstock, I can prove that, Randall.

Don't have to convince me.

I'm just doing the job.

Yeah, draw, Randall.

I'd love for you to draw.

You're not fancy with that rope business, aren't you, Taggart?

Good enough for hanging.

Your brother drew on me first.

Shut up.

Why don't you let him say his piece?

George's dead.

Enough said.

Thought Bert and I told you not to go after Decker.

Remember, Randall?

Yeah. Huh?

Yeah.

Got greedy, huh?

I guess.

You still want to stand up for him?

Not much chance now, is there?

None.

You ever see any hanging, Randall?

Yeah. What do you think about it?

Not much.

Well, you're going to see one as soon as Bert gets here.

Window.

I caught one.

He got a hang of you.

Move your arm.

Oh. Didn't hit the bone.

It's gonna hurt.

He's still carrying the slug inside.

Tiger?

Dead.

You can ride?

I can ride.

You better get out of here because his brother's gonna be coming here.

Yeah, sure you are. Well, we'll stop over in that grove for a while, huh?

I said I'm all right.

And I said we'll stop a while.

Come on, let's go.

I don't like the way that looks.

It feels better now.

Listen to me, that slug's got to come out of there.

Well, there's a good doctor at home in Woodstock.

Stay away.

It can wait.

Maybe.

We'll stop in that barn for the night

Wood.

Yeah.

Listen, Paul.

That's gonna have to come out of there.

In Woodstock tomorrow.

Keeps up like this, you might not make it to Woodstock tomorrow.

No.

I've seen things like this before.

And I've seen men die of gangrene.

I guess there's no use kidding myself anymore.

No use?

All right, Randall.

Ain't no doctor, but I want you to know I'll do the best I can.

Got the whiskey to give you.

Okay.

It's going to hurt you, so if you want to scream, you go ahead, here.

Just get to it.

I'm sorry I had to hurt you that way.

I'll get you into Woodstock as quick as I can in the morning.

I want him, Randall.

I want him for both my brothers.

Uh -uh.

All I want is him.

You can walk out of here.

life worth $300?

Yeah. Right now it is.

Tiger!

Josh? Don't say anything right now.

Rough trip?

Yeah, kind of.

You could use a drink.

Yeah.

Anyway, throw me over to Joe's place.

I'm buying. Uh -uh, uh -uh.

I said I'm buying. Yeah, you owe me $300. Just never mind all the sugar.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Yeah, well, I didn't. Three bills.

All right, $300.

But you buy the drinks. All right, I'll buy the drinks. I swear, all you ever

think about is money. You remember in Wichita when you got me going? I know.

Yeah, when you got me going.
