Morning. Oh, good morning.

Are my horns ready?

Yes, you have.

Hey, my goodness, but you're an early riser.

Yeah, I want to make Canyon Town for a nightfall.

Say, boy, go get this gentleman's horse for him, will you? It's installed for.

Looks like an old poster.

Yeah, it is.

How old?

Oh, two years.

Was Sam Gladstone elected sheriff of Aitman? Yeah.

He's still sheriff over there as far as I know.

How far is Aitman from here?

Just across the river.

Much love.

Thank you.

Hey, mister.

You're headed in the wrong direction if you're going to Canyon Town.

Change my mind. Go on, Dave.

Why, it can't be.

Well, it is.

Josh. Josh Randall. How you been, Sam? Well, I'm fine. How about you?

Oh, I got no complaints.

I bet it's three years since we saw each other.

More like four. The Webster case. You were working out of Tombstone.

That's right.

Say, how'd you find me? I was passing through Midvale. Saw an old election

poster, and you were right across the river.

Well, I'm certainly glad to see you. I really am.

Here, Sam. You might need this.

Sam, I, uh... I thought you might want to see this right away.

Jackie Harris captured in North Springs.

Being held pending your arrival.

Any answer?

Tell him I'll send someone the first thing in the morning.

Right.

What's up?

I'm supposed to pick up a prisoner in North Springs, but I haven't got anyone

send.

What about your deputies?

I need every one of them.

We're expecting a rough trail herd through here in a few days.

How far is North Spring?

Why?

Thought I might go for you. For a deputy's pay.

Came out short, Josh.

It's a three -day trip each way.

Besides, the budget won't stand it.

You can owe me. I got to keep the reputation.

Well, I guess I ought to be polite and refuse your offer.

But I can't afford to.

You got yourself a job on one condition.

What's that?

You got to take a little tour with me before you go.

Tour of what? You'll see. Come on.

Read those and read them good.

Here lies Will Backer, born April 5th, 1827, died September 7th, 1877.

Arthur Backer, born June 12, 1822, died September 7, 1877.

Henry Thompson, born December 17, 1845, died... Well, they all died the same

day. Same hour. Only the inscription should read, killed, instead of died.

Who did the killing? Jackie Harris.

Oh. Prisoner I'm supposed to pick up. That's her.

Her. Yep.

That's why I brought you out here.

I didn't want you to underestimate her the way those fellas did.

Art and Will Backer had a big ranch.

They were middle -aged bachelors.

Brothers? Yep.

No one thought they'd ever marry.

Then Will took a trip to Oklahoma City, and he came back married to Jackie

Harris.

There was some talk he found her in a dance hall, but we never heard for sure.

How did this come about?

Living way out in the country with Art and Will, Jackie got bored.

Took up with the foreman.

That third grave's his.

Henry Thompson?

That's right.

One day, Will found them together.

Jackie shot Will.

When Art came to help Will, she shot him, too.

And then, because he'd witnessed the other murders, she turned around and

Henry Thompson.

Nice story.

Thought you'd like it.

How'd you hear about it?

From Henry Thompson, just before he died.

I went out to arrest her, but she'd already gone.

Well, what do you think?

About what?

Going to North Springs to get her.

Still want to go through with it?

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Let's get back to the office. I'll give you the papers you need, and you can

leave right away.

If she comes back here, she hangs.

She knows that, so be careful.

I will.

I'll see you in a week, my dear. Cool.

Remember those tombstones.

Howdy. Hi.

My name's Randall.

Sam Gladstone sent me to pick up Jackie Harris.

Pete Links, my name.

Can I see your papers?

Sure.

Three murders.

I can't believe it.

I just can't believe it.

How's that?

You'll see.

Come on.

There's your prisoner.

This is the fellow they sent to take you back.

How do you do?

Pleased to meet you, ma 'am.

I'm Josh Randall.

When do we leave, Mr. Randall?

Figured we'd leave first thing in the morning.

Good. The sooner the better.

Come on in the office and we'll sign all the papers.

I said if you come in the office, we'll sign the transfer papers.

Huh? Sure.

See you in the morning, Mr. Randall.

Good morning, Miss Harris.

It's hard to believe.

What's the matter?

Are you sure that's Jackie Harris?

Yeah.

Well, it don't make sense, that girl killing three men.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Then again, Sam Gladstone swears she's guilty.

Never known him to be wrong.

Neither have I.

Bye now.

Bye.

Bye, miss.

Don't be so sad. It's not forever.

Isn't it?

The charges against me are false.

It'll be proved so in court.

I hope you're right. Shall we go?

All right.

Thanks for everything, Keith.

It was a pleasure.

Bye. Bye.

Something the matter, Mr. Randall? I want you ahead of me, Miss Harris, and I

told you that.

Sorry, I forgot.

Get up, Doc.

Is this better?

Yes, it is.

You're a very good cook.

Thank you.

You know the charges against you?

Yes.

For the murders of my husband, Will, his brother, Art, and that foreman.

I've heard the sheriff's story.

You must have something to say.

I'm not guilty.

You're going to have to say a lot more than that.

I intend to.

I'll tell them how the foreman grabbed me that day.

How I was fighting with him when Will came along.

Will shot him.

But before the foreman died, he...

He managed to kill Will and his brother, Art.

Now, that isn't a story the foreman told.

Before he died, he told his sheriff you were the one that did all the killing.

Well, I guess that was his way of getting back at me.

If you were innocent, why'd you run?

I was frightened.

I'll do that.

You're alone quite a bit, aren't you?

Huh?

You don't talk much.

People alone a lot get that way.

You married, Mr. Randall?

No. Why not?

Well, it doesn't fit the life I lead.

At least not now.

You're a bounty hunter, aren't you?

Yes.

Surprised. Why is that?

Well, most of the things I've heard about bounty hunters are very

But you seem nice.

I think I'll go check the horses.

Harris?

i thought you were supposed to stay here we needed some more wood for the fire

from now on if we need anything i'll get it sorry i didn't mean to anger you

That too tight?

No. All right, you sleep here.

I'm going to bed down on over there.

You're a very cautious man, Mr. Randall. Old age runs in my family, Miss Harris.

I'd hate to spoil the record.

I don't think that was necessary.

Well, good night.

Good night.

You sure that row's not too tight?

No, it's fine.

Good night.

Good night.

Morning. If you'll untie me, I'll fix some breakfast.

Why didn't you say something?

What do you mean?

Why didn't you tell me the rope was too tight?

I guess I didn't realize it.

I want you to know I'm sorry.

Well, that's all right. You were just doing your job.

Well, is it all right if I go ahead with breakfast?

Sure.

If you get tired now, let me know we'll stop for a while now I can go a bit

further

Took me a mile to catch up with her. Here.

What's the matter? Something wrong?

I owe you an apology.

What for?

Why did you come back?

Why didn't you just keep going?

Because I'm innocent.

Percy? Yes.

Thank you.

Where did your family go from Alabama?

Dallas, Texas. You know, my father was the most traveling man you ever saw.

I bet we never spent more than five months on any set spot.

It was just the opposite with us.

We stayed in one place forever.

Not a very nice place, either.

I guess I spent most of my time dreaming of when I'd be old enough to go where I

wanted. And when you were old enough, where did you go?

Oh, lots of places. East for a while, New York, Boston, then back to Georgia.

Finally, I came out here.

You know what I learned?

What?

No matter how different one place looks from another, they're all pretty much

alike. I guess you had your fill of traveling, all right.

Yes. How about you?

Oh, I get tired of him time to time.

Especially at night when I'm on the trail.

I pass a house, it's all lit up.

You get a funny feeling.

You wonder if maybe you're not missing something.

That's right.

I know.

I guess that's why I married Will.

I wasn't in love with him.

I told him if I married him, it was mainly because I wanted to settle down.

He said that was all right.

Not much of a basis for marriage.

Do you mind if we talk about something else?

You know, I'd like to stay here all day.

But we've got a lot of ground to cover.

Then my father said, well, now, I don't mind you having a cow in the kitchen,

son, but don't you think you ought to introduce him around?

Oh, it all sounds like fun.

Well, we had some hard times, but by and large, it wasn't bad.

That's what it's going to be like when I have a family.

Lots of laughter in the house and good times.

That's right. I'm a little optimistic, aren't I?

Tell me.

Have they ever hanged a woman in this state?

Sun's beginning to set.

We'd better stop for the night pretty soon.

You know we're going to be there tomorrow morning.

Yes, I know.

We could have made it tonight, couldn't we?

Yes.

Why didn't we?

I guess because I didn't want to.

Neither did I, Josh.

What's the matter?

Everything. Do you know what's going to happen to you when we get to Avon?

I'll go on trial and... The charges against me will be proven false.

It's going to go on trial, all right, but you've got about as much chance of

acquittal as a man in the moon.

Josh, I'm innocent.

How are you going to prove it? You've got no witnesses.

They've got the dying word of the foreman. Besides that, your husband

that town all of his life. He was liked.

You're a newcomer there.

Are you trying to tell me that I have no chance?

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Don't go to pieces. We'll find a way. There is no way.

Yes, there is.

No, there isn't. You just said I don't have a chance.

Providing I take you in.

You mean you'd let me go?

I don't know what I mean.

I just thought of something.

What?

There's a town called Blackwell. It's about two miles this side of April.

The train to the east stops there.

If you let me go, I could be on that train.

We could meet somewhere in about two weeks.

Slow down.

Things are happening too fast.

I've got to have time to think this out.

I'll let you know my answer in the morning.

Yes, I prefer it that way.

I want your decision to be a considered one.

Hi. Good morning.

You're an early bird, aren't you?

You're a late one. Your breakfast is ready.

Have you made up your mind?

Yes.

Well, what did you decide?

I'm taking you to April.

Sorry, but it's the only thing I can do.

I don't intend to hang.

But if you're innocent, there must be a way of proving it.

You're a fool.

You're as big a fool as Will and his brother and that foreman.

And you know something?

You're gonna die just like they did.

I don't understand.

You could have escaped that first day when I fell off my horse.

Why wait until now?

Because I needed you.

This is bad country, full of Indians.

I needed you to get me through it.

But I don't need you anymore.

Goodbye, Mr. Randall.

You took the wrong gun.

I'll saddle the horses.

I want to make apin' by noon.

You know something When I look at her I still can't believe she killed three men

Well, I'll tell you something Sam when you find yourself feeling that way you

just remember something you told me.

What's that?

those tombstones Almost had one of my own I'll see you now
