Excuse me. Just a moment.

There you are.

I'm looking for the sheriff.

There he is.

The gentleman with his back to you at the far table.

Much obliged.

Sheriff?

Well, do something for you, mister?

A little of your time would help.

All you want?

About anything in particular?

Looking for a woman by the name of Ruth Connors.

He interrupted my lunch.

You're going to keep me waiting until it's finished, right?

At least that long.

And don't press me.

I'll be waiting.

Suit yourself, mister. I don't care what you do.

Frankly, I'd like it fine if you were out of town by the time I finished here.

Two -hour lunch, you eat big.

Adler's the name. Let's get it over with.

My name's George Randall.

Good for you.

This big chip you're carrying must get kind of heavy.

Tell me where it says I got a like a bounty hunter chasing a dollar.

You don't have to tell me where Ruth Connors is either, but it'd help.

Yeah, somebody's bound to tell you.

It's the old place a mile north of town, side of the road. You can't miss it.

Women. Never learn to leave well enough alone.

Sounds like you don't think much of them.

What do you think, mister?

He's an outsider from the east someplace.

Come riding here and marries the prettiest girl in town.

And one day he decides he's had enough and he walks out just like that.

You think you can convince her? No.

She's still with him.

Still thinks he's coming back someday.

You must have him found somewhere or you wouldn't be here. But you're sure not

doing her any favor, mister.

Well, I suppose we'll let her decide that.

I know what the sheriff thinks, Mr. Randall.

Well, it wasn't just the sheriff, Miss Connors. What they all think.

They're wrong.

If you say so.

You think I didn't know him.

Two years of him and you think I didn't know how he was?

How he thought?

Well, I never met him, Miss Connors. What was he like?

A drifter.

A wanderer.

A man like that walks out.

But not Matt.

He's a doctor. A responsible man.

And he loved me.

With all due respect, Miss Connors, he did leave.

Why?

I've driven myself crazy trying to answer that. I don't know.

Maybe it was that fall.

Fall?

An accident.

He tried to tell me it was nothing.

But that's when he began to be so strange.

He'd forget things.

Look, ma 'am. Please.

I know I'm right.

He's living somewhere.

He doesn't know who he is or where he belongs.

I want him back.

I need him.

Why, Ruth?

So he can put you through it all again?

It's never going to stop, is it?

She's going to keep driving herself crazy. Victor, please.

Victor Kincaid, Josh Randall.

Howdy.

You figure you've seen him.

The good doctor.

Maybe. Playing poker in a little town about a week away.

There was a man at the table that resembled him.

What town?

I've got to know.

What's the point? If I'm wrong, it'll just cut you deeper.

If it's him, I'll bring him back.

Please.

No, no, he's right.

It's best that way.

The bounty money.

I'll need a little time.

We'll worry about that later.

Mr. Randall, I'm grateful.

Well, don't build too high on it. He was just a face.

I could be wrong.

What do you think?

Follow him.

You said a rich ride.

And I said follow him.

What if it doesn't matter?

Get it done.

Once and for all.

I'm afraid I can't help you, mister.

The town doctor's a man named Johnson, but he don't look nothing like that.

Go see for yourself.

What about the other one I mentioned, the one on the poker game?

Well, you know how it is.

A couple of weeks, you see so many customers, can't remember them all, you

Remind me to bleed for you.

A lady with a job like yours usually got a fine memory. This, uh... Gaines.

Dora Gaines.

Go away, mister.

When I want a bounty hunter, I'll ask for one.

I never gave you any call to say that.

I remember seeing you bring a man in once.

Back in Dodge.

Well, I brought a lot more than one man back to Dodge City.

A man named Loomis.

He was a killer.

There was no way in the world for me to bring him back gentle.

This is different.

I'm trying to help this man, not hurt him.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Look, miss.

Goodbye, mister.

Thanks for the hospitality.

Dora, clean shaven. It was Cully.

He's bound to find him.

Somebody's sure to recognize the picture.

We've got to get word to him. He's got to know and keep out of sight.

He's over in Greenville. I can't reach him.

Now, look.

Maybe he's telling the truth. Doesn't want to hurt him.

I'm not going to take that chance.

How does a storekeeper stay hidden, Dora?

Miguel can run it for him just till he leaves.

What makes you think he's leaving?

Oh, he'll go.

One way or another.

You're a long way from home, Mr. Kincaid.

Well, Josh Randall, I'll be doggone.

Talk about coincidence.

Is that what it is?

So this is where you're doing your hunting.

What do you know?

You mind telling me what you're hunting?

You mean what am I doing here?

This is one of the best cattle towns in the area. Doing some buying.

You know, I sure wish you'd have told me. We could have ridden together.

How about you? Are you having any luck?

If he's here, I'll find him.

Better alive, huh?

As long as he's here.

You want to know the truth?

I hope it's dead.

A man's got to have a good reason for saying that.

Well, you've seen the reason. Ruth.

Why, the misery he's put her through. A woman like that.

And you figure she won't suffer so much if he's dead, huh?

Well, I only know one thing. Dead or alive, she's got to know.

She can't go through the rest of her life wondering, never being sure.

Well, I'll be in town a couple of days at the hotel.

If I can be of any help, let me know.

I'll do that, Mr. Kincaid.

Say,

Miss Gaines,

can you spare a minute?

Look ma 'am, I just want to talk to you for a minute.

There's a lot more of that coming, mister, unless you get out of town as

you can.

Oh, poor man.

Poor man.

What happened?

What happened?

It's all right.

Easy.

Miguel will help you.

Why, Miguel?

Why couldn't you just let him alone?

Senorita, he was hurt very bad. Would you rather see Cully hurt?

Don't you understand, Miguel? He's the one.

Him?

Oh, I did not know him. I am so sorry, senorita.

Where's Cully now?

He's in the store. He just came back from Greenville.

You've got to hide him, Miguel.

He must know someplace.

Si.

Si, I know a place.

I still think you should see the dark.

That's funnier than you think.

Got some rough citizens.

See who did it?

No, no, I was busy.

This, uh, this fellow that picked me up, who was he?

Try this. It's good for lumps.

You don't change much. I want answers. You make it whiskey.

Well, he was Mexican, and his name was Miguel.

Now, how hard do you think he'll be to find? Now, look, why make trouble for

him? One friendly man in town, and you want to keep me away from him. Now, that

just doesn't seem right.

You're wasting your time, I tell you. He won't be any help.

Who has been, mister?

For the whiskey, for the doctor.

Thank you.

Good morning, sen... Morning.

Oh, it is... it is you, senor.

Something I can do to help you?

Oh, you did last night.

And I'm obliged to you.

Was nothing, was... was nothing, senor. I... I just was passing. Just passing

through an alley, huh?

Well, it doesn't matter.

Something further I can do?

Yeah, you can tell me the last time you saw him.

I never... I never see him.

Miguel, I know... Truly, truly, senor. I never see him. I do not know this man.

I do not want to be rude, senor.

But excuse me, I have lots of work to do.

Your place?

No, no, place belong to Senor Cully. I only work here.

But he is not here.

You know where he lives?

Upstairs.

But he had to go away for a few days. I don't know where.

That is true, Senor.

Of course you didn't say where.

No, that is right.

Well, thanks for last night anyway.

Miguel, this man you never saw, he's not wanted for a crime or the sheriff will

be doing the looking.

Now, you understand?

Then why you look for him?

Just to talk to him.

I want to get his side of a story. A story I'm not sure I know now.

I do not understand.

Well, there's too many people trying to keep me away from him. Someone else was

trying to find him. I've got a hunch I better get there first.

You understand what I'm saying?

I never see the man. I never see him.

All right, Miguel, are we through playing game?

Don't know what you mean, senor. I only take a little walk.

No use asking where, I mean, now that you've spotted me, huh?

I go no place.

Sure.

Well, good night.

Thank you.

Miguel, who did it?

He was waiting for me.

He wanted to know about Senor Cully, where Senor Cully

was.

Miguel, did you tell him?

I had to.

I couldn't stand anymore.

Where is Cully?

Miguel, I've got to know.

Do you want him to live?

See?

See?

You're lying.

Am I? Go across to Doc Johnson's. Take a look at Miguel.

See what they've done to him. That's how bad they wanted Cully.

Lenny.

Won't be a minute.

Time. You're wasting time.

I've got to know.

You've got to be sure.

Care for him that much, huh?

No one will ever take him away from me.

I love him.

Enough to have me beat up in an alley?

I didn't want it that way. I didn't know what else to do.

You were after him.

Not for a crime, I tried to tell you that.

But then why? Why do you want him? I've got to know.

He's got a... It's like you said, where's Cully?

Where? Miguel's shack at the edge of town. He's the only one.

Killing a man's wife not enough for you, Kincaid?

You going in for killing now?

Sorry, Matt.

You think I want her back?

You think I could even stand to look at her now?

The point is, she doesn't want you back.

Why this?

Your father, he's dead.

There's a lot of money, a big ranch.

Luce can't get it without being a widow.

Yeah.

Sorry, Matt.

Poison.

He's bleeding bad.

What do you think I've been doing for a whole year?

Well, what about it, Mr. Connors?

You gonna let this man die?

Excuse me.

Dr. Connors, wasn't it?

Room over the store.

Closet on the shelf. You'll find my medical bag.

Better get it quick.

Dr. Connors.

I see a lot of men try to lose themselves.

It's nice to see one coming back.
