Hello, Hal.

Howdy, Randall.

Well, he's all yours.

I'll get my bounty money ready.

I'm gonna go to the hotel and take me a nice cool bath.

Hot out there.

You're free to go, Tom. Your father's waiting for you in his office.

Guess you've been out of touch.

Yeah, I guess so.

You brought back the wrong man, Josh.

Well, this is something, isn't it?

I'm sorry, Josh.

Yeah, I'm sorry, too.

But I accept your apology. Just give me my money.

I can't.

Anybody ever tell you you were a real nice fellow?

It's not up to me. It's the town administration.

Well, why don't you talk to the town administration?

Adams is innocent.

Another man committed that crime, like I told you. Why didn't you tell me that

five days ago? Look, I sent telegrams to every town on the territory and

followed them up with copies.

of this new poster.

I hoped you'd hear about it, Josh.

I didn't.

You're a stubborn cuss. Yeah, and I gotta eat, too, and have some spending

money. I'm not running a charity committee here. Will you listen to me?

me $200.

Plus $20 for Eats for Adams for five days. That's $228.

I can only pay on delivery of wanted men. He was wanted when I went after

That's a technicality.

$228, and that ain't no technicality. Dawson's the man I want.

You're gonna run me ragged.

Okay. Now, look, Hal.

It's a completely impossible move for me to get my money back.

Completely impossible.

Look, Josh.

Somebody has to bring Dawson in.

It might as well be you.

Friends like you who needs enemies.

Now, you sure this Dawson is the right fella now, huh?

He is. He admitted it himself.

Got drunk and was bragging.

Doc Adams, the kid's father, was telling me about it.

I found $500 in his barn, all tied up just the way it was when it was stolen.

But Dawson had cleared out.

Where's his place?

He owns a small farm just outside town on the River Froad.

Not much of a place.

You see...

Dawson's been having some rough luck lately.

Oh, he's been having some rough luck lately.

What's the matter, Dad?

You said you were happy to have me home.

I am.

Well, you don't look very happy.

Why are you looking at me that way? Did I do something wrong?

Yes.

What do you mean?

Stop it, Tom.

Stop what?

You know what I'm talking about.

Dad, I think you've been taking a little bit too much of your own medicine.

You don't have to defend yourself to me. I know you stole that money.

Well, now, that's not very funny.

No, but it's true.

Well, now, how can it be I'm here and I'm free?

Because I arranged it.

You arranged what?

I paid an innocent man to take the blame for you.

Who?

Zach Dawson.

Zach Dawson?

Now, come on, Pop. Even Dawson isn't that dumb.

I gave him $1 ,000.

$1 ,000?

Plus $500 for the sheriff to find in Dawson's barn.

Every cent I had in the world, just to have you free.

Promise me it's the last time.

$1 ,500.

That's a lot of money, Pop.

Please make it worth it.

Where is Dawson? I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

Thought it would look more convincing if he tried to get away.

You're quite an arranger, Pop.

I'll find him.

You don't need to. I made a safe deal.

Where is it, Pop? I'm done.

Just to make sure that he doesn't change his mind. He won't.

He's got the thousand. What's to stop him? He promised me.

I'm going to see that he keeps that promise.

No, Tom, please.

Stay out of my way, Dad.

Awesome.

I'd like to talk to you for a minute.

I won't be wasting much of your time. I got work to do.

My name is Randall. I know who you are.

I don't mean no harm.

Ain't me I'm worried about.

Yes, ma 'am.

Why are you so polite?

You're a lady for one thing.

Just saying that because you want something.

Yeah, I guess that's right.

Zach's innocent.

That may be.

Zach never did a wrong thing.

All his life he worked hard.

Nothing to show for it. But he didn't complain.

He never took something that wasn't his.

Didn't say he did.

Then why do you want it?

It's what I do for a living.

You like your job?

Most of the time.

Not right now too much.

Zach didn't steal that money.

Ron isn't going to help much.

No, I guess not.

You want to help him? Yes, I do.

What can you tell?

He left without saying anything.

You believe me?

I do.

Only chance he's got is coming back.

You'll keep on looking for him?

I'll keep on looking for him.

Come on out of there. I'm gonna rake you from head to foot.

You know, you'll have to get shot right out of your bridge if you push your foot

up on somebody like that.

You mind if I join you?

You're doing it, ain't you?

I've been chasing you ever since you left Zach Dawson's place.

What you doing over there?

Same as you, I guess. I was looking for him.

Funny way to spend your time, isn't it?

Well, now that depends on how you look at it.

See, I think Zach Dawson should be made to pay for what he did.

Yeah, well, it seems to me you don't leave out the law, don't you think?

Well, I like to make sure the law gets him.

You see, when I was 17 years old, well, I was arrested for stealing.

A lot of people in town never forgot that.

I think Dawson's trial may help to change their minds.

You really care?

I wouldn't be here if I didn't.

I'm interested in one thing.

Yeah, you said that.

I think I know what you're interested in.

Money. No offense intended.

No offense taken.

Well, I'd like to make you a business proposition.

You interested?

Haven't heard it yet.

Well, I'll, uh... I'll sweeten Dawson's bounty with, uh... $100.

Why? I want to go along.

What for?

I think, uh, I'd like to be a person when you get him.

Pretty hard about this, aren't you?

$100 worth.

Where's your horse?

In the grove. You carrying blanks and grub?

I didn't bring any food.

Well, that'll cost you $100 plus expenses.

You've cost me enough money already.

Go ahead and bring him over here to the campfire.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Randall.

What can I do for you?

Let's go.

Let's go?

Listen, I'm still half asleep.

I haven't had my breakfast yet. You can be sure Zach Dawson isn't sleeping.

He's not going to go anywhere where I can't find him.

The farther he goes, the harder he'll be to find. Have you thought about that?

Yeah.

You thought any about having breakfast?

I'm thinking about more important things.

Ooh.

Look, pal, let's understand each other. I want Dawson.

With any kind of luck, I'm going to get him.

But I plan on having my breakfast before I go.

Now, if you're in such an on -fire hurry, well, you take your $100 and go

ahead and go about it.

We'll do it your way.

Thank you.

Well, if you go ahead and get some firewood, I'll have my breakfast.

My pleasure.

Things I do for money.

We've been heading this way.

Why? Looking for a fella.

Who?

Well, he's kind of dark.

Thin, dark and plected.

About 40 years old.

I see lots of men. Fits that description.

You seen anybody in the past 24 hours?

I told you, lots of people. We're not looking for lots of people. We're

for one man.

Easy like, huh?

You've seen this.

Could be.

Well, did you or didn't you?

Well, uh, not sure.

Now, look, I said take it easy. I don't have to say it again.

Look, he knows something. He's playing games with us.

You're wrong there, mister.

I've been out here too long and had too much bad luck to be playing games.

Now, I could have seen your man, but...

I have to activate my mind.

Help activate your memory?

Well, not too much.

How about this?

That's a little better.

That's all.

Take it or leave it.

Well, yeah, I saw him right by this morning.

Which way?

South, towards Ashford.

Got a half a day head start on us. Let's get out of here.

Come on, let's go.

Hurry, Andy.

I don't suppose you'd like to camp here and go into Ash Fork in the morning.

I want to go into Ash Fork right now. Come on, let's go.

Well? Dawson was in town this afternoon.

Well, what are you doing?

What does it look like?

Well, we're not going to sleep here.

I am.

What kind of a man are you?

Practical. How do you plan to catch Dawson?

On my horse, first thing in the morning.

What are you trying to do?

Why?

You were leaving without me.

Have it your way.

But we made a deal.

Yeah, we made a deal, and I wish we hadn't.

I guess, uh... I get a little eager at times, huh?

Well, this means a great deal to me. I wish you'd try to understand.

Okay. Have you had your breakfast?

I'm not hungry.

Then let's go.

Dawson. Just breathe.

Quick move now. Just put your hands behind your head.

I was expecting this.

I was getting tired of running anyway.

Oh, you're going to be more than tired, Dawson.

Well, you feel better, Adams. You got to see what you came for.

Much better.

Does this bother you, Randall?

Kind of.

Well, you don't have to like me.

I don't.

Why'd you let me come along?

Got a little greedy, I guess. Uh -huh.

Why don't you put the cuffs on him?

Don't start telling me how to run my business, Sonny.

Go ahead, Dawson.

Finish saddling your horse.

Don't bother.

Oh, now I'm taking over right now, huh?

Just me.

Now you turn around.

Now you put your hands behind your neck.

A gift for being greedy.

Well, I sure got my money's worth, didn't I?

You know why I'm here, don't you, Dawson?

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

I'm talking about the thousand dollars my father paid you to confess.

You're crazy.

No, no, no, no.

I'm not crazy.

You see, my father is.

He thinks you'll keep your part of the bargain. I don't.

I think you're going to kill Randall, and I think Randall's going to kill you.

Around!

And that's the way it's going to look.

No, it won't, Tom.

Now, I don't know what you're doing here, Dad, but you stay out of it.

All of your sins are mine.

I won't let you add murder to them.

It had to be done.

And I'm... I'm sorry too, Dawson.

Hello, Randall.

What are you doing here?

Oh, just to make sure you're all right.

Thanks.

Sheriff's waiting for me, I guess.

Yeah, well, he don't figure you're going to run off anywhere.

Listen, Doc, I, uh, want to ask you about that Dawson fellow, huh?

He's a poor man.

He wanted to make sure his wife was provided for.

Yeah, well, spending a year in jail isn't going to help that out any, is it?

He never would have finished that sentence.

You see, I'm his doctor and we share a secret.

Zach Darson has only six months to live.

You know something, Mr. Randall?
