? WELL, I'M NOT THE KIND
TO KISS AND TELL ?

? BUT I'VE BEEN SEEN
WITH FARRAH ?

? I'VE NEVER BEEN
WITH ANYTHING LESS ?

? THAN A NINE
SO FINE ?

? I'VE BEEN ON FIRE
WITH SALLY FIELD ?

? GONE FAST
WITH A GIRL NAMED BO ?

? BUT SOMEHOW THEY JUST
DON'T END UP AS MINE ?

? IT'S A DEATH-DEFYIN' LIFE
I LEAD ?

? I TAKE MY CHANCES ?

? I DIE FOR A LIVIN'
IN THE MOVIES AND TV ?

[ Siren Wailing ]

? BUT THE HARDEST THING
I EVER DO ?

? IS WATCH MY LEADING LADIES ?

? KISS SOME OTHER GUY
WHILE I'M BANDAGIN' MY KNEE ?

? I MIGHT FALL
FROM A TALL BUILDIN' ?

? I MIGHT ROLL
A BRAND-NEW CAR ?

? 'CAUSE I'M
THE UNKNOWN STUNTMAN ?

? THAT MADE REDFORD
SUCH A STAR ?

? [ Women Vocalizing ]

? I'VE NEVER SPENT
MUCH TIME IN SCHOOL ?

? BUT I'VE TAUGHT
LADIES PLENTY ?

? IT'S TRUE I HIRE
MY BODY OUT FOR PAY ?

? HEY, HEY ?

? I'VE GOTTEN BURNED
OVER CHERYL TIEGS ?

? BLOWN UP FOR RAQUEL WELCH ?

? BUT WHEN I WIND UP
IN THE HAY, IT'S ONLY HAY ?

? HEY, HEY ?

? I MIGHT JUMP
AN OPEN DRAWBRIDGE ?

? OR TARZAN FROM A VINE ?

? 'CAUSE I'M
THE UNKNOWN STUNTMAN ?

? THAT MAKES EASTWOOD
LOOK SO FINE ?

[ Colt Narrating ]
THIS IS THE STORY OF ONE OF
AMERICA'S GREAT UNSUNG HEROES.

I MEAN, YOU'VE SEEN HIM,
BUT YOU NEVER KNEW WHO HE WAS.

YOU'VE CHEERED FOR HIM
AND CRIED FOR HIM,

WOMEN HAVE WANTED
TO DIE FOR HIM.

BUT DID HE EVER GET ANY CREDIT?
OR THE GIRL? NO.

HE WAS WHAT WE CALL A STUNTMAN.

AND THE REASON I'M TALKIN'
SO FONDLY ABOUT HIM IS--

WELL, BECAUSE IT'S ME,
COLT SEAVERS.

ANYWAY, PICTURE WORK
ISN'T WALL-TO-WALL EMPLOYMENT.

SO MAYBE YOU WONDER HOW
A GUY KEEPS HIS HEAD TOGETHER.

WELL, ONE WAY
IS TO WAIT BY THE PHONE...

AND WAIT... AND WAIT.

THE OTHER IS TO TAKE
AN OCCASIONAL JOB
FOR THE COURT SYSTEM...

OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

WHERE A MAN IS
CONSIDERED INNOCENT
UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES A LOT
OF THESE PEOPLE...

GET OUT OF JAIL
ON WHAT WE CALL BAIL.

AND THEY RUN LIKE HELL.

THAT'S WHERE I COME IN.
I SOMETIMES PICK UP
RENT MONEY...

TRYIN' TO FIND THEM
AND BRING THEM BACK TO JUSTICE.

BUT TODAY I'M DOING A STUNT
THAT'S GONNA PUT ME
AT THE END OF MY ROPE.

FASTER, JODY, FASTER!
PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL!

YOU KNOW THIS ISN'T
EXACTLY A FERRARI!

[ Colt ]
SLOW HER DOWN, KID.
IT'S GOING TOO FAST!

- I'M AFRAID WE'LL STALL, COLT.
- THROTTLE HER DOWN.

OKAY, YOU'RE THE BOSS.

OKAY,
A LITTLE MORE.

THAT'S BETTER.
COME ON! COME ON!
I CAN ALMOST REACH IT.

- HURRY UP, COLT.
- SLOW IT DOWN, KID!

I'M GOING AS SLOW AS I CAN!

- COLT!
- NOT NOW, JODY!
I'VE ALMOST GOT IT.

I GOT IT! I GOT IT!

TAKE IT UP, KID!

- ALL IN GOOD TIME, COLT.
- TAKE IT UP!

[ Howie ]
WHOA! DON'T WORRY, COLT.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT!

KID!

OH, HE'S GONNA KILL ME.

COLT, PLEASE, YOU GOTTA
PROMISE ME...

YOU WON'T TELL A SOUL
ABOUT THIS.

IT'S SO HUMILIATING.
LET'S NOT FORGET
PAINFUL AS HELL.

OH, I KNOW IT. BUT I SWEAR,
I'LL MAKE THIS UP TO YOU.

FIND ME A WAY TO MAKE A LIVING
FOR THE NEXT MONTH AND A HALF,
AND I'LL BE SATISFIED.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT. BIG JACK
CALLED AND SHE SAID SHE'S GOT
A JOB THAT'S A PIECE OF CAKE.

I'M WORRIED.

NO. THIS TIME HOWIE'S
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

IT'S A SIMPLE
PAPERHANGER CASE.

PAPERHANGER?
THAT'S A CHECK FORGER.

SOME YOUNG GUY RAN BACK
TO HIS HOMETOWN--

A SMALL PLACE CALLED
LUCKY, NEVADA.

HIS NAME IS JOHN C. RYDER,
AND HE WAS SEEN
NEAR TOWN YESTERDAY.

ALL JODY AND HOWIE
HAVE TO DO IS GO UP THERE,
GET HIM AND BRING HIM BACK.

HE IS DEFINITELY
A NONVIOLENT TYPE.

I DON'T KNOW.
THEY ALL START OUT
EASY ENOUGH.

COLT, LOOK, I ONLY HAVE
THREE DAYS LEFT ON THIS BOND,
THEN I FORFEIT BAIL.

I COULD EVEN LOSE
MY INSURANCE COVERAGE.

I REALLY NEED THEIR HELP.

I DON'T KNOW.

COLT, YOU CAN'T PUNISH ME
JUST BECAUSE YOU HAD
SOME STUPID ACCIDENT.

NO, I CAN'T PUNISH YOU
FOR MY STUPID ACCIDENT.

ALL RIGHT, KID, YOU GO,
BUT YOU CALL ME IF YOU
GET IN ANY TROUBLE.

- WHAT COULD YOU DO WITH--
- YOU HEARD ME.

I'LL CALL YOU.
I'LL CARRY A QUARTER
EVERY PLACE I GO.

PUT YOUR THINGS TOGETHER.
THE KID'S RUNNING THE SHOW.

LOVE YOU, COLT.
AND DON'T WORRY.
I'LL KEEP HIM OUT OF TROUBLE.

IRONIC, ISN'T IT, HOW
YOUR CLUMSY ACCIDENT TURNED
INTO A "BREAK" FOR HOWIE?

YOU DO A GOOD JOB, HOWIE.
SO YOU KEEP IN TOUCH,
ALL RIGHT?

AND YOU, HANDSOME, TAKE CARE
OF THAT LEG. I'LL CALL YOU
IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

BYE-BYE.

- COLT--
- GO.

[ Door Closes ]
I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO SAY THIS, BUT I--

GO!

- I HOPE YOUR FOOT FEELS BETTER.
- YOU GET!

[ Door Closes ]

KAREN.

NOT IN, HUH?
THANK YOU.

LET'S SEE.
[ Muttering ]
DONNA.

[ Howie ] THAT'S THE GUY
WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
HIS NAME'S JOHN C. RYDER.

NOPE.

NOPE WHAT?
ISN'T THAT HIS NAME?

OH, THAT'S HIS NAME ALL RIGHT,
BUT HE HASN'T BEEN AROUND
FOR MONTHS.

WELL, ARE YOU SURE?
WE HAD A REPORT THAT--

- I MEAN, ISN'T THERE
A CHANCE HE, UH--
- NO.

- I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO NOSE
AROUND A LITTLE ON OUR OWN.
- NO, YOU WON'T.

- SHERIFF, THIS IS A WARRANT.
- AND THIS IS A TOURIST TOWN.
WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED.

WE DON'T HAVE A CRIMINAL
ELEMENT HERE. WE DON'T WANT
ANYONE SAYING WE DO.

SHERIFF, I THINK
IT'S ONLY FAIR THAT
I WARN YOU THAT--

WELL, HOW'S THAT
GONNA WORK, COLT?

ALL RIGHT.
ANYTHING YOU SAY.

I UNDERSTAND YOU DECIDED
TO LEAVE TOWN.

YEAH, I THOUGHT YOU'D
LIKE TO KNOW WE'VE BEEN
PULLED OFF THE CASE.

- WELL, GOOD.
- THEY'RE SENDING
THE BIG GUY OUT. I'M SORRY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU'RE SORRY?

I GUESS I SHOULDN'T
SAY ANYTHING.

MAYBE I'M PREJUDICED,
BUT I HATE VIOLENCE.

WAIT A MINUTE. I THINK
YOU OUGHT TO SAY A LOT MORE
RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE GONNA FIND OUT ANYWAY.

COLT SEAVERS IS COMING TO TOWN.

[ Scoffs ]
WHO THE HELL IS COLT SEAVERS?

YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

IF HE'S COMING TO MY TOWN
I WANT TO KNOW, AND I WANT
TO KNOW RIGHT NOW.

COLT SEAVERS IS THE MOST
RUTHLESS BOUNTY HUNTER
IN THE COUNTRY.

HE'S RIGHT. YOU SEE,
THE ORGANIZATION WE WORK FOR...

ONLY SENDS HIM OUT
WHEN THEY WANNA
PUSH THE BUTTON.

PUSH THE BUTTON?
YEAH, I'M AFRAID
THIS KID RYDER--

HE'S GONE.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
SOMEBODY COMING INTO MY TOWN,
TAKING THE LAW IN HIS OWN HANDS?

'CAUSE IF YOU ARE,
HE'D BETTER BE READY
FOR A LONG JAIL SENTENCE.

ABSOLUTELY. W-WE'RE ON
YOUR SIDE. THIS GUY SEAVERS
SCARES US TO DEATH.

I SAW HIM GO INTO A TOWN
AND LEAVE AN ENTIRE
POLICE DEPARTMENT IN SHAMBLES.

- AND HE DOES IT LEGALLY.
- THAT'S THE CRIME OF IT.
HE KILLS BY THE LAW.

HE KILLS?

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

HEY, THAT WASN'T SO TOUGH.
WEREN'T WE LAYING IT ON
A LITTLE THICK?

THAT'S WHAT COLT
SAID TO DO.
WHY?

I DON'T KNOW.

ARE YOU SURE IT'S HIS LEG
HE BROKE AND NOT HIS HEAD?

- WE GOT TROUBLE.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE?

COLT SEAVERS IS
COMING TO TOWN.
? [ Country, Indistinct ]

- WHO?
- SOME KIND OF A HARDCASE,
BIG-TIME BOUNTY HUNTER.

ALL OVER A LITTLE JOHN RYDER?
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

WELL, I DON'T EITHER.
BUT THERE'S MORE HERE
THAN MEETS THE EYE.

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.
WHAT DO WE DO?

YOU LET ME KNOW
THE MINUTE HE SHOWS UP.

? [ Continues ]

? TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT ?

? HONEY, I'M LEAVING ?

? TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT ?

? I'M MOVIN' ON ?

? I'M NOT THE SORT
FOR SAD GOOD-BYES ?

? AND DREAMIN' ?

? TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT ?

? HONEY, I'M GONE ?

OH, COLT,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

NO.

NOW, THEN, LET'S GET DOWN
TO BUSINESS.
COLT, WE CAN'T MAKE A MOVE.

EVEN IF YOUR LEG WAS ALL RIGHT,
THE SHERIFF'S WATCHING
EVERYTHING WE DO.

WELL, I DON'T INTEND
TO MAKE A MOVE.
WHAT?

I INTEND TO HAVE YOU TWO
MAKE ALL THE MOVES.

COLT, THE SHERIFF'S DOGGING US
LIKE A PAIR OF CRIMINALS.

GOOD.
THEN WE GOT HIS ATTENTION.
THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING.

UH, HOW DOES
THAT WORK AGAIN?

WELL, IT'S
AN OLD RULE OF THUMB
FOR TRACKING.

LOCALS DON'T OFTEN SIDE
WITH STRANGERS WHEN THEIR OWN
ARE IN TROUBLE.

SO WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
IT'S THE WHOLE TOWN AGAINST US.

WELL, WE TRY TO GET
JOHN C. RYDER TO COME TO US.

WELL, HOW ARE WE GONNA DO THAT?
MAKING THE LOCAL PEOPLE
THINK WE'RE MEAN.

MEAN AS IN TOUGH?
NO. MEAN AS IN
OFF-THE-WALL RUTHLESS.

WHISKEY.
I DON'T THINK I UNDERSTAND.

WELL, IT WORKS THIS WAY--

JOHN RYDER IS WANTED FOR
CHECK FORGERY, WHICH MEANS HE'S
BASICALLY A NONVIOLENT TYPE...

WHO'LL GET ANYTHING
FROM A YEAR TO PROBATION,
EVEN IF HE'S CONVICTED.

WE WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR
TO EVERYONE WE'RE PREPARED...

TO BLAST HIM OUT OF HIS SOCKS
IF HE DECIDES TO RUN.

ISN'T THAT
A LITTLE CRUEL?
THANK YOU.

NO. WE DON'T MEAN IT.

LIKE I SAY,
GET THE FOLKS' ATTENTION.

LET 'EM THINK THEY'RE DOING JOHN
A FAVOR BY TURNING HIM IN OR
BY HIM COMING FORWARD HIMSELF.

- YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
THAT'S VERY CLEVER.
- YEAH. YOU BETTER GET MOVIN'.

THE TRICK IS TO KEEP THINGS
STIRRED UP. MOVE AROUND TOWN,
ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

SOONER OR LATER,
SOMEBODY'LL TIP OFF SOMETHIN'.

OKAY, WE'RE GONE.

? SO TO SAVE US BOTH
SOME TIME ?

? GONNA BRING IT OUT
ON THE LINE ?

? COME RIGHT TO IT
AND TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN ?

? TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT ?

? HONEY, I'M LEAVING ?

? TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT ?

? I'M MOVIN' ON ?

? [ Continues, Indistinct ]

- CAN I HELP YOU, FELLA?
- NO, THANKS.

WELL, YOU'LL HAVE
TO COME OUT OF HERE.
THIS IS A PRIVATE ROOM.

- I'LL PAY FOR IT.
- NOW, LOOK, BUDDY.

IS THERE A PROBLEM,
NORRIS?

THIS, UH, GENTLEMAN
WOULD LIKE TO
TALK TO YOU.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
UH, WAIT.

BEFORE HE GOES,
UH, I MIGHT OUGHTA...

CHECK THIS IN,
SO AS NOT TO ALARM ANYBODY.

IT'S LOADED,
MR. MANNING.
OF COURSE IT'S LOADED.

CAN'T SHOOT ANYBODY
WITH AN EMPTY GUN.

NOW, JUST WHO ARE YOU,
MISTER?

NOW THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION.
UH, SEAVERS IS THE NAME.
COLT SEAVERS.

WORK FOR THE COURTS,
LOS ANGELES COUNTY.

WHAT BRINGS YOU
TO LUCKY, NEVADA?

THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME
TO DO MY WORK. RIGHT NOW
I WAS HOPING...

TO GET INTO A NICE,
HIGH-STAKES GAME OF POKER.

UH-HUH.

WELL, YOU'RE A DAY EARLY
FOR OUR USUAL HIGH-STAKE GAME,

BUT I SUPPOSE I COULD
MAKE A FEW PHONE CALLS.

NOTHING LIKE FRESH MONEY
TO MAKE A CROWD.

WELL, THANK YOU.
I, UH, APPRECIATE THAT.

AND, UH, I PROBABLY WON'T
BE USING THAT GUN TONIGHT,

UNLESS I GET,
UH, REAL LUCKY.

NORRIS, I WANT YOU
TO GET THE SHERIFF.
YES, SIR.

YOU'RE ON, JODY.

NOW THAT'S HARASSMENT,
PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
LET'S BUST 'EM.

[ Man ]
I DON'T KNOW. THE OLD BOY SEEMS
TO BE KIND OF ENJOYING IT.

WOULDN'T MIND TALKING
TO HER MYSELF.

RED JACK ON BLACK QUEEN.

WELL, UH, DARNED
IF YOU AREN'T RIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I LIKE TO PLAY
THE GAME MYSELF.

MY WIFE, MOSTLY
SHE LIKES TELEVISION.

MM-HMM. HMM.

SHERIFF BAKER'S
THE NAME.

OH, NICE TO MEET YOU, SHERIFF.
UH, SEAVERS. COLT SEAVERS.

I KNOW. YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN HERE AN HOUR,

AND YOU'RE THE TALK
OF THE WHOLE TOWN.

SORRY TO HEAR THAT.
KIND OF MAKES MY JOB
A LOT HARDER.

OH? AND WHAT
IS YOUR JOB?

PRETTY MUCH LIKE YOURS,
SHERIFF. I HELP BRING PEOPLE
BACK TO JUSTICE.

WELL, SINCE THIS IS MY TOWN,
I'D SURE APPRECIATE KNOWING
WHO YOU'RE BRINGING TO JUSTICE.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

"JOHN RYDER,
CHECK FORGERY."

- YOU KNOW HIM?
- TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I DO.

HE'S THE SON OF
A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON.

I HEARD THAT HE JUST MIGHT
BE BACK IN THIS AREA.

IF HE WAS, I'D KNOW IT.
AND THAT'S WHAT I TOLD
A COUPLE OF YOUNG FOLK...

THAT WERE IN TOWN AHEAD
OF YOU LOOKING FOR JOHN.

HE'S NOT IN TOWN.
I'D APPRECIATE IT
IF YOU MOVED ON.

I'M SORRY, SHERIFF.
I CAN'T DO THAT.

AND IF ANYBODY STOPS ME,
I CALL IN THE STATE POLICE.

OH, MY, MY, MY.

YOU DO DRAW THE BATTLE LINES,
DON'T YOU?

- IT CAN ALL BE AVOIDED,
OR, UH--
- OR WHAT?

OR IT'S SHOOT FIRST
AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER
WHEN I DO FIND JOHN RYDER.

A WORD OF WARNING,
MR. SEAVERS.

SOMEBODY HERE'S
LIABLE TO GET SHOT,
BUT IT ISN'T JOHN RYDER.

[ Woman On Intercom ]
GEORGE MANNING ON LINE ONE.

PUT HIM ON.
HELLO, GEORGE.

IT'S HAPPENED.

GEORGE, IF I WEREN'T UP TO
MY NECK IN BOOKKEEPING, I'D BE
AT HOME WITH A TALL MARTINI.

- I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR RIDDLES.
- FINE. YOU WANT TO SEE
EVERYTHING GO DOWN THE DRAIN?

YOU JUST SIT THERE
AND WORRY ABOUT YOUR BOOKS.

- WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?
- COLT SEAVERS IS IN TOWN.

- WHO?
- A BIG-TIME BOUNTY HUNTER.

SO?
SO HE'S LOOKING
FOR YOUR SON.

GEORGE, MY SON'S
PERFECTLY SAFE.

YOUR SON IS A TIME BOMB.

LOOK, I DON'T LIKE THE TONE
OF THIS CONVERSATION.

MY SON
HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO JUSTIFY
A BIG-TIME BOUNTY HUNTER.

SO STOP WORRYING.
SOMEONE'S PLAYING GAMES.

EXACTLY. THEY'RE NOT LOOKIN'
FOR YOUR SON AT ALL.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR,

AND YOUR SON PROBABLY
TIPPED 'EM OFF.

LISTEN, GEORGE,
I'M GOING TO PRETEND
I DIDN'T HEAR THAT.

NOW YOU BETTER GET
HOLD OF YOURSELF.
IN LESS THAN TWO DAYS,

THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
IS GONNA RUN OUT
ON THE WHOLE THING.

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BE IN GREEN
FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.

WALTER, I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.

BUT YOU GOT TO ADMIT,
THIS GUY SHOWING UP HERE NOW...

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
IS A PRETTY BIG COINCIDENCE.

ALL RIGHT, GEORGE.
THERE'S NO POINT IN
TAKING ANY CHANCES.

WHY DON'T YOU GET THE SHERIFF
AND COME RIGHT OVER HERE?

? [ Country ]

UH, THAT'LL BE 22.80.

YOU WOULDN'T KNOW
A FRIEND A MINE, WOULD YOU?
A FELLOW NAMED JOHN RYDER?

- JOHN'S A FRIEND OF YOURS?
- WELL, LET'S SAY HE WAS,
BACK UP IN L.A.

- I THOUGHT I'D LOOK HIM UP.
- AFRAID YOU CAME A LONG WAY
FOR NOTHIN'.

DOES THAT MEAN
YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS?

WELL, I KNOW WHERE HE IS,
BUT YOU CAN'T GET THERE.

WHY IS THAT?

THAT'S 90, 23, 24, 25.

NOBODY GETS IN OR OUT
OF THE GORDON ESTATE.

- WELL, HOW COME?
- WELL, I REALLY DON'T KNOW,
AND I KNOW BETTER THAN TO ASK.

BE SEEIN' YOU NOW.

WHAT ELSE DID HE SAY?
[ Gas Station Attendant ]
JUST THAT HE WANTED TO FIND YOU.

- DID YOU GET A LICENSE NUMBER?
- OH, YOU BET YOU, JOHN.

HE WAS DRIVIN' A JIMMY TRUCK
WITH CALIFORNIA PLATES
THAT SAID "FALL GUY."

"FALL GUY"? WHAT'S THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

HELL IF I KNOW. LOOK, JOHN,
IF YOU NEED ANY HELP--

NO. LISTEN,
YOU STAY OUT OF THIS.

YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T GET MIXED UP
WITH MY OLD MAN AND HIS
FRIENDS-- NOT AND SURVIVE.

I KNOW IT, JOHN,
BUT I JUST CAN'T STAND TO SEE
WHAT'S HAPPENIN' TO YOU.

YOU'RE LIKE A PRISONER
OUT THERE ON THAT RANCH.

- I CAN HANDLE IT.
- ANY CHANCE WE CAN GET TOGETHER
FOR A BEER TONIGHT?

THERE'S SOMEBODY WHO'D
SURE LIKE TO SEE YOU.

NO. I CAN'T SEE HER YET,
DEKE--

NOT UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT
TO DO-- FIGURE OUT SOME WAY TO
GET HER OUT OF HERE FOR GOOD.

HEY, DEKE?
YEAH, JOHN.

THANKS.

YOU'RE ONE OF THE FEW
DECENT ONES LEFT AROUND HERE.

I WON'T FORGET YOU.

TAKE CARE, EH?

[ Rhythmic Beeping ]
[ Respirator Pumping ]

YOU'VE RUINED THEM--
EVERY ONE OF 'EM.

THERE ISN'T ONE OF 'EM
WORTH SAVING ANYMORE,
AND YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE.

[ Respirator Stops ]

I SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS
SIX YEARS AGO.

HOLD IT, MR. RYDER!

INTERESTED IN
BEATING THE ODDS?

WHY DON'T YOU TRY
SOME BLACKJACK?
I'M COMING ON.

[ Coughs ]

YOU'RE HOT.
THANKS TO YOU.

A MAN BRINGS HIS OWN LUCK.

HELPS WHEN SOMEONE
IS DEALING SECONDS.

? [ Country, Indistinct ]
MR. SEAVERS, GET OUT OF TOWN.

THAT MAY BE THE SEXIEST THREAT
I'VE EVER HEARD.

MAKE THAT THE SINCEREST THREAT.

YOU, UH, REALLY THAT
WORRIED ABOUT ME THIS EARLY
IN OUR RELATIONSHIP?

YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

CAN YOU GIVE ME A HINT
OF WHAT IT WAS ABOUT ME
THAT GOT YOU THIS UPSET?

THE FACT THAT YOU WANT
TO KILL THE NICEST PERSON
ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH.

JOHN RYDER.

LOOK, MR. SEAVERS, PLEASE LEAVE.
I'LL LET YOU WIN ALL YOU WANT.

HMM, THAT'S A FIRING OFFENSE.

THEY CAN'T FIRE ME.
MY FATHER'S ONE OF THEM.

ONE OF WHAT?

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD
OF THE GORDON ESTATE?

NO. SHOULD I HAVE?

WELL, MR. GORDON OWNS THIS TOWN,
ALONG WITH MY FATHER,

THE OWNER OF THIS CASINO,
THE SHERIFF--

- [ Door Closes ]
- [ Footsteps Approaching ]

WELL, MR. SEAVERS,
YOU'RE IN LUCK.

THIS IS WALTER FARR,
OUR TOWN'S LEADING BANKER.

JUST ABOUT AS FINE
A POKER PLAYER AS THERE IS,
NEXT TO ME.

AND THIS IS WENDLE TURLOCK,
OUR TOWN'S BEST DOCTOR.

THE ONLY DOCTOR.
DR. TURLOCK.

HOW YOU DOING, HONEY?

WELL, LET'S PLAY POKER.

UH, WE COULD USE ONE MORE.

WHAT ABOUT THIS GORDON FELLOW
THAT I KEEP HEARING ABOUT?

WELL, MR. GORDON ISN'T
VERY MUCH OF A GAMBLER.

BUT DON'T WORRY.
YOU'LL HAVE YOURSELF ONE
HELL OF A GAME, MR. SEAVERS.

NORRIS, CASH HIM OUT.

OH, HOWIE, LOOK.

[ Howie ] NO WONDER THERE'S
NOTHING ELSE OUT HERE.
IT TAKES UP THE WHOLE VALLEY.

WELL, ONE THING'S FOR SURE.
WE'RE NOT GONNA FIND HIM
GOING IN THE FRONT DOOR.

WE'D BETTER FIND
SOME OTHER WAY.

HOWIE, LOOK OUT!

[ Howie ]
WE'RE DEFINITELY ON GORDON'S
PROPERTY NOW. HANG ON!

- HOWIE, WE'RE TRAPPED!
- YOU UNDERESTIMATE ME.

[ Tires Squealing ]

WATCH THIS, KID.

HEY!

- LOOK OUT!
- [ Tires Squealing ]

WE GOTTA HELP 'EM.

JODY? JODY,
ARE YOU OKAY?

[ Groans ]

WELL, AT LEAST
WE'RE IN ONE PIECE.

YEAH.
I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.

THE QUESTION IS, WHY IS
EVERYBODY GETTING SO WORKED UP
OVER A CHECK FORGER?

YOU PLAY A PRETTY
MEAN GAME OF POKER,
MR. SEAVERS.

YOU EVER CONSIDER
PROFESSIONAL GAMBLING
OVER BOUNTY HUNTING?

NO. I LIKE TO KILL TOO MUCH.

YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS?

WELL, IF HE IS,
I DON'T FIND IT AMUSING.

NEITHER DO I, MR. MANNING.
I LOVE THE LAW.

I SEE PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE,
I JUST WANNA GUN 'EM DOWN
LIKE DOGS.

WELL, MR. SEAVERS,
THE LAW IS SUBJECT
TO INTERPRETATION.

ONE MAN'S JUSTICE IS OFTEN
ANOTHER MAN'S INJUSTICE.

- ARE YOU A COMMIE?
- [ Laughs ]
OH.

- IS HE A COMMIE?
- UH, SEE HERE, SEAVERS.

I THINK YOU'RE TAKING THINGS
A LITTLE TOO FAR.

GENTLEMEN, GENTLEMEN.
THIS IS GETTING US NOWHERE.

WE WERE PLAYING POKER.

DEAL, AND ANTE UP.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE FROM A CASE
SUCH AS THIS, MR. SEAVERS?

OH, $5,000 BRINGING JOHN RYDER
BACK TO LOS ANGELES,
DEAD OR ALIVE.

WHAT IF YOU WERE TO EARN
AT LEAST THAT MUCH
IN A POKER GAME?

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE
TO AVOID THE HASSLE OF
TRYING TO TRACK DOWN...

A MERE BOY WHO MADE A MISTAKE?

YOU SURE MAKE A GOOD POINT.

- YOUR BET, SHERIFF.
- [ Chips Hit Table ]

[ Rhythmic Beeping ]
[ Respirator Pumping ]

THERE'S RAZOR WIRE
ON THIS FENCE.

WHAT COULD BE GOING ON AT
A RANCH WAY OUT HERE THAT'D
DESERVE THIS KIND OF SECURITY?

I DON'T KNOW. BUT IF YOU'RE
WORRIED ABOUT THE RAZOR WIRE,
I GOT MORE BAD NEWS FOR YOU.

WHAT IS IT?
I THINK IT'S ELECTRIFIED.

IT'S NOT ELECTRIFIED.
IF IT WERE ELECTRIFIED, IT
WOULD HAVE THOSE LITTLE WHITE--

THEY DON'T USE THOSE ANYMORE.
HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
ELECTRIC FENCES?

YOU FORGET I'VE BEEN
WORKING WITH COLT
A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN YOU.

YEAH, WELL, THE NEXT TIME,
FEEL FREE TO PULL RANK
A LITTLE SOONER, OKAY?

YEAH.
HOW ARE WE GONNA
GET INTO THIS PLACE?

WELL, WE BETTER GO BACK TO
THE TRUCK AND GET THE ROPES.

IT'S A TWO-MILE HIKE
BACK TO THE TRUCK.

YEAH,
AND IT'S A LOT OF VOLTAGE
WE GOTTA CLIMB OVER.

OH, MAN, THERE'S GOTTA
BE AN EASIER WAY.

COME ON. THERE'S NOTHING LIKE
A GOOD HIKE TO BUILD CHARACTER.
CHARACTER?

I'M GONNA BE ABRAHAM LINCOLN
BEFORE THIS DAY'S OUT.

I CALL.

FULL HOUSE.
ACES AND NINES.

BEATS MY FLUSH.
ME TOO.

I'M TAPPED OUT.
SORRY, GENTLEMEN.
FOUR BEAUTIFUL LITTLE LADIES.

BOY. [ Chuckles ]
THAT'S AN AMAZING
RUN OF LUCK.

- IT APPEARS THAT YOU HAVE
$12,000 IN FRONT OF YOU.
- [ Chuckles ]

YOU'VE MADE AS MUCH AS
YOU WOULD HAVE MADE HUNTING
FOR THAT NO-ACCOUNT KID.

NOW I GUESS YOU'LL BE
HEADING OUT NOW.

WELL, IT WAS NICE
MEETING YOU, MR. SEAVERS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GIVE HIM HIS GUN BACK,
NORRIS.

WELL, THANK YOU.
THAT'LL BE ALL,
NORRIS.

GOOD-BYE, MR. SEAVERS.

[ Chuckles ]
I DON'T SEE ME GOING ANYPLACE.

FORGET ABOUT JOHN RYDER.
HE ISN'T WORTH THE AGGRAVATION
THAT WE CAN GIVE YOU.

YOU LEAVE PEACEFULLY, OR
I'M GONNA RUN YOU OUT OF TOWN.

- IS THERE A THREAT
IN THERE SOMEWHERE?
- YOU BET THERE'S A--

I'VE PLAYED A LOT OF POKER.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE
EVER SEEN A WINNER PULL A GUN.

YEAH, WELL, IT'S THE FIRST TIME
THAT I'VE EVER SEEN ANYBODY
CHEAT TO LOSE.

NOW, WHY IS IT YOU FELLAS
ARE LETTIN' ME WIN
ALL THIS MONEY, HUH?

WHAT DO YOU THINK, JODY?
LOOKS SECURE TO ME.

YOU BETTER LET ME GO FIRST,
SEE IF IT'LL TEST MY WEIGHT.

FORGET IT.
I CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT.

OKAY.

- HOWIE, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
- [ Groans ]
I'M FINE. OH!

- WHAT'D YOU SAY?
- I SAID GET READY.

- THE ROPE'S COMING UP.
- OH, OKAY.

[ Groans ]

WELL, THAT WAS
EASY ENOUGH.
NOW WHAT?

NOW WE MOVE OUT
AND FIND JOHN.

MR. SEAVERS,

THE FOUR OF US
AND MOST OF THE FOLKS
IN THIS TOWN...

HAVE WORKED HARD FOR SIX YEARS
TO RESTORE THE BEAUTY
AND ELEGANCE OF LUCKY, NEVADA.

I'D SAY YOU'VE DONE
A HELL OF A JOB.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THE POINT IS...

THAT WE'RE STILL A LONG WAY
FROM THE TOURIST ATTRACTION
WE HAVE YET TO BECOME.

WE HAVE THE HEALTHIEST CLIMATE,
THE FINEST WATER...

AND THE FINEST HOSPITALITY
OF ANY CITY IN NEVADA.

IT'S JUST THAT
WHAT WE DON'T NEED
IS A BAD REPUTATION.

VERY WELL COULD EARN
IF A BOUNTY HUNTER LIKE YOU
CAME INTO TOWN...

AND SUDDENLY STARTS
SHOOTING THINGS UP BECAUSE
OF A-- A CHECK FORGER.

WELL, WHY IS IT
ALL YOU BIG COWBOYS ARE
TAKING SUCH AN INTEREST...

IN THIS LITTLE BITTY FELLA
THAT ALL I WANT TO SEE
IS STAND TRIAL?

WELL,

THIS LITTLE FELLA JUST HAPPENS
TO BE MY STEPSON.

[ Howie ]
I ONLY SEE ONE GUARD.

YEAH. GUARDING WHAT?
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

JOHN HARDLY SEEMS WORTH
ALL THIS EFFORT.

OKAY, WISE GUY,
ON YOUR FEET. COME ON.
COME ON.

- HOWIE, IT'S JOHN RYDER.

LISTEN, I'VE GOT A PLAN,
KID.
OH, NO.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU
TO GET THAT CAR STARTED?

FROM THE TIME I GET MY HANDS
ON THE IGNITION WIRES
OR FROM NOW?

FROM NOW.
OH, 60 SECONDS.

OKAY, GET GOING.
HOWIE.

LISTEN, COLT CAN'T HOLD OFF
THE WHOLE TOWN ALL DAY.
COME ON.

[ Groans ]
ALL RIGHT.

[ Man ] HE'S PRETTY LIVELY FOR
SOMEONE THAT'S JUST BEEN SHOT
WITH A TRANQUILIZER DART.

HEY, KID, THE NEXT ONE
WILL BE A BULLET INSTEAD OF
A TRANQUILIZER. NOW MOVE IT!

- [ Engine Starts ]
- WHAT THE--

WILL! WILL!

JOHN! JOHN,
COME BACK HERE!

[ Tires Squealing ]

COME ON!
COME ON! GET IN!
IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!

WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU.

LET'S GO.
[ Tires Squealing ]

- IT'S THAT WAY.
- I THOUGHT THE GATE
WAS BACK THAT WAY.

JODY, I TOOK CELESTIAL
NAVIGATION AT PRINCETON.
JUST GO.

[ Howie ]
GET DOWN! THOSE GUYS
ARE ARMED TO THE TEETH.

HANG ON.

HEY, YOU MIND IF
I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

WHO ARE YOU GUYS?

NICE WORK, JODY.
WE GOT AWAY CLEAN.

[ Gunshot ]
WILL YOU QUIT
SAYING THAT?

WE'RE FINISHED.
WE'LL NEVER GET AWAY,
ANY OF US.

WHO ARE THOSE GUYS? AND IF
THEY'RE PROTECTING YOU, WHY ARE
THEY SHOOTING AT YOU AND US?

THEY'RE NOT PROTECTING ME--
I'M THEIR PRISONER.

HE'S DRUNK.
NO, JUST A LITTLE DRUGGED MAYBE
FOR TRYING TO KILL HIM.

HE DESERVES IT.
WHO?
WHO DESERVES IT?

NO, I CAN'T TELL YOU.
IF YOU FIND OUT,
YOU'LL BE AS DEAD AS I AM.

LOOK, JUST-- JUST GET
OUT OF HERE AND LEAVE ME.
THEY WON'T BOTHER YOU.

BUT IT'S YOU WE WANT.

[ Howie ] LOSE THOSE GUYS.
LOOK, JUST UP AHEAD
THERE'S A HAIRPIN TURN.

[ Tires Squealing ]

- NOW!
- [ Tires Squealing ]

[ Screams ]

[ Horn Honking ]

BET THOSE GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE
A HEADACHE IN THE MORNING.
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.

MR. MANNING, SIR.

HEY, HOLD IT, NORRIS.
SECRETS AREN'T POLITE,
YOU KNOW.

IT'S PRIVATE.

NO, NOW WAIT A MINUTE, FELLAS.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE SECRETS,
DO WE?

HE'S RIGHT. GO ON, NORRIS.
WELL, THE SECURITY CHIEF
JUST CALLED...

AND SOMEBODY BROKE IN
AND BROKE OUT JOHN.

HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET
IN THERE, LET ALONE BREAK OUT
PAST ALL THOSE GUARDS?

IT ISN'T CLEAR, BUT THE GUARDS
IN PURSUIT, THEY'LL CATCH HIM.
THEY'LL GET HIM FOR SURE.

WAIT A MINUTE, FELLAS. I'M STILL
HERE. WHAT PLACE ARE WE TALKIN'
ABOUT, AND WHO'S CHASIN' WHO?

WHOEVER BROKE IN IS NEVER
GONNA GET AWAY ALIVE.
BELIEVE ME.

MAYBE I DO.

YOU DON'T LOOK SO COCKY NOW,
SEAVERS.

IF THOSE TWO WERE
YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS,
THEY'RE IN A LOT OF TROUBLE.

- HOW MANY ARE CHASING 'EM,
NORRIS?
- TWO.

BUT IT'S DETLAF AND NAYLON.

AND THEY'RE ANIMALS, SEAVERS.

I THINK WE OUGHT TO START
TALKING A DEAL IF YOU EVER WANT
TO SEE YOUR FRIENDS ALIVE AGAIN.

LISTEN TO HIM, MR. SEAVERS,
PLEASE. HE'S NOT BLUFFING.

WHAT KIND OF DEAL?

WE'LL GIVE YOU $100,000
IF YOU BACK OFF AND FORGET
YOU EVER HEARD OF LUCKY, NEVADA.

ARE YOU CRAZY?
$100,000 TO THIS--

SHUT UP, BAKER. MR. SEAVERS
IS A MAN OF PRINCIPLE.

HE'S NOT GONNA SELL OUT
FOR ANY PRICE.

OKAY, NOW YOU'RE TALKIN'.

FIRST THING YOU DO, YOU GET ON
THE HORN AND CALL OFF YOUR DOGS.

ARRANGE FOR MY PEOPLE
TO MEET US SOMEPLACE--
SOMEPLACE NEUTRAL.

THE GORDON ESTATE.

- THE GORDON ESTATE?
- YEAH.

YES, HE'S ONE OF
THE TOWN'S WEALTHIEST
AND MOST UPSTANDING CITIZENS.

HE'LL DO YOU NO HARM.

LET'S GO.

[ Manning ]
UH, MR. SEAVERS, YOU CAN
PUT AWAY YOUR GUN NOW.

WE'RE ALL QUITE WILLING
TO COMPROMISE WITH YOU.

NO, THANKS. I LIKE IT
RIGHT WHERE IT IS.

- HOW FAR IS IT
TO THIS GORDON ESTATE?
- JUST ABOUT 20 MINUTES.

- STEP ON IT.
- YES, SIR, MR. SEAVERS.
ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT.

[ Engine Accelerates ]

HOWIE, IF EVERYONE IN TOWN
IS IN ON WHATEVER THIS IS ALL
ABOUT, WHERE ARE WE GONNA GO?

WE'RE GONNA GRAB COLT
AND BE ON OUR WAY.

WAIT.
YOU CAN'T JUST LET 'EM
GET AWAY WITH IT.

- WITH WHAT?
- I KEEP TRYING TO TELL YOU.

IF YOU FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON,
YOU'RE AS GOOD AS DEAD.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT US
TO BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU
WON'T TELL US ANYTHING?

I'M TRYING TO PROTECT YOU.
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

WHO'S THE PRISONER HERE
ANYWAY?
OH, WAIT A MINUTE. LOOK OUT.

HOWIE, THAT WAS A POLICE CAR
BACK THERE. MAYBE WE SHOULD'VE
FLAGGED IT DOWN.

FORGET IT. THAT WAS
SHERIFF BAKER. HE'S AS MUCH
OF A CROOK AS MY OLD MAN.

YEAH, HE'S RIGHT. WE'RE NOT
STOPPING UNTIL WE GET TO THE
O.K. SALOON AND GAMING PALACE.

SAY, WASN'T THAT A CAR
FROM THE ESTATE?

MAYBE THEY COULD HAVE
FILLED US ALL IN
ON WHAT HAPPENED.

- HOW MUCH FURTHER?
- JUST ANOTHER 10 MILES.

WELL, THEN WE'LL KNOW
SOON ENOUGH, WON'T WE?

? [ Country ]

JOHN, YOU GET DOWN ON
THE FLOOR. I'M GONNA GO IN
AND SEE IF I CAN GET COLT.

? [ Continues ]

YOU'VE GOTTA HELP ME.
IT'S A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.

LADY, I'VE GOT A STORY
THAT'LL BREAK YOUR HEART.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
YOUR FRIEND, HE'S NOT THERE.
THEY TRICKED HIM.

THEY'VE TAKEN HIM OUT
TO THE GORDON ESTATE,
AND HE'LL NEVER COME BACK.

WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
TAKE ME WITH YOU.

JOHN. OH.

WELL, LET'S MOVE IT.

DON'T SLOW DOWN
FOR THOSE GUARDS.

IF I DON'T,
THEY'RE GONNA SHOOT.

TAKE YOUR PICK.

THERE'S SO MANY GUARDS
AROUND THE ESTATE
WE'LL NEVER GET IN.

HEY, JACKIE,
NEVER SAY NEVER
TO A STUNTMAN.

IS THERE ANY PLACE HIGH ENOUGH
FOR US TO JUMP THIS CAR
INTO THE COMPOUND?

HOW HIGH DO YOU NEED?
IF IT'S AN EIGHT-FOOT FENCE,
WE'LL NEED A THREE-FOOT RISE.

AND ENOUGH ROOM
TO GET UP TO 65.

THERE'S A FIRE TRAIL
BEHIND THE HOUSE.

IF YOU MAKE IT, WE'LL--
WE'LL GAIN FIVE MINUTES ON THEM
AND BYPASS THE GUARDS.

AND IF WE MISS,
WE'LL NEVER KNOW IT.

I KNOW. YOU WISH COLT
WERE HERE.

[ Rhythmic Beeping ]
[ Respirator Pumping ]

HE CAME TO US IN A NIGHTMARE
MORE THAN SIX YEARS AGO.

LITERALLY,
A MAN OUT OF THE SKY.

- [ Manning ]
BEARING GIFTS.
- A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.

THE HIJACKER
THEY NEVER FOUND.

FELL INTO MY BACKYARD.

AND SO BEGAN THE SEDUCTION
OF A VERITABLE GHOST TOWN
CALLED LUCKY, NEVADA.

[ Through Mechanical Larynx ]
I PRESUME THIS IS MR. SEAVERS.

MR. SEAVERS CAME
TO GET MY STEPSON.

YOU KNOW WHY WE COULDN'T
LET HIM BE TAKEN BACK
TO LOS ANGELES.

YOUR STEPSON WAS
FOOLISH ENOUGH...

TO TRY TO KILL ME BY TERMINATING
MY LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEM.

HOW DID A MAN IN HIS CONDITION
GET CONTROL OF ALL YOU PEOPLE?

WELL, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN
ALL AT ONCE, SEAVERS.

FARR CAME TO ME AND TOLD ME
HE FOUND THE MAN THE WHOLE
COUNTRY WAS LOOKING FOR.

THE MAN MADE
AN IRRESISTIBLE OFFER.

[ Turlock ] WE WERE TO GET
ALL THE MONEY HE'D HIJACKED
FOR SUPPLYING HIM...

WITH A LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEM
WITHIN THIS FORTRESS.

DOC TURLOCK CAME IN
AND AGREED TO HELP
PATCH UP MR. GORDON.

WHEN HE SAW HIM,
HE COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

HE SAID JUST ABOUT EVERY BONE
WAS BROKEN IN THAT MAN'S BODY.

THE TOP OF THE POINT
A MILE AHEAD WILL PUT YOU
RIGHT INTO THE COMPOUND.

BUT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO VEER
TO THE RIGHT, OTHERWISE
YOU'LL END UP IN THE HOUSE.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING,
AND DON'T THINK IT.

- HEY, WHAT WOULD COLT DO?
- HE'D THINK OF A BETTER WAY.

AND IF HE COULDN'T THINK
OF A BETTER WAY?

IF YOU'RE GONNA MAKE A DEAL
WITH THE DEVIL, WHY'D YOU
BOTHER KEEPING HIM ALIVE?

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TAKE
THE MONEY AND LET HIM DIE?

IN THE FIRST PLACE,
MR. SEAVERS,

WHILE WE MAY HAVE BEEN
VULNERABLE TO THE TEMPTATION
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS...

TO BE HAD FOR THE ASKING,
WE WERE NOT AND ARE NOT KILLERS.

OH, WE MAY HAVE SOLD OUR SOULS,
BUT WE GOT WHAT WE WANTED.

WE'RE ALL RICH,
AND HE'S SAFE,

AND HE'S COMPLETELY SECURE AND
INSULATED FROM THE POSSIBILITY
OF ANY OUTSIDE ATTACK.

HOW WAS IT THAT WE WERE ABLE
TO WALK RIGHT IN?

I WANTED TO NEGOTIATE WITH YOU
PERSONALLY, MR. SEAVERS.

SO ALL I HAVE TO DO
IS TELL YOU MY PRICE,
AND I CAN BE ON MY WAY?

NO. FIRST, YOU'LL DELIVER
JOHN RYDER TO ME.

[ Chuckles, Clears Throat ]
WELL, I'M AFRAID THAT ONE'S
GONNA BE A LITTLE HARD.

- I DON'T HAVE HIM.
- BUT YOUR ASSOCIATES DO.

OKAY, LET'S SAY
I CAN GET MY CREW
TO BRING HIM IN.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO HIM?

NOTHING.
WE'RE NOT KILLERS,
MR. SEAVERS.

WE SIMPLY CANNOT ALLOW HIM
TO LEAVE THIS COMPOUND AND
TELL THE WORLD WHAT HE KNOWS.

SO, UH, HE WOULD LIVE HERE
FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE?

OR UNTIL MINE EXPIRES.

THAT SEEMS FAIR ENOUGH TO ME,
BUT, UH--

WHY DON'T WE PAY ME MY MONEY
AND LET ME BE ON MY WAY?

NO. I'M AFRAID
YOU'RE MY HOSTAGE,
MR. SEAVERS,

TO ASSURE YOUR FRIENDS
COMING BACK FOR YOU WITH JOHN.

I WAS AFRAID YOU WERE
GONNA SAY THAT.

[ Gun Cocks ]
I'M NOBODY'S HOSTAGE.

YOU BETTER DROP THE GUN,
MR. SEAVERS.

I THINK YOU SPOKE
A LITTLE TOO SOON.

NOW WHAT HAPPENS?

NOW WE WAIT FOR YOUR FRIENDS
TO TRY TO RESCUE YOU.

EXACTLY WHERE DOES HE
CONTROL EVERYTHING FROM, JOHN?
THE CENTER OF THE HOUSE.

BUT LIKE I TOLD YOU,
WE CAN'T GET TO IT...

UNTIL WE FIGURE OUT SOME WAY
TO OVERPOWER THE GUARDS.

HOW FAR IS THE HOUSE
FROM THE JUMP-OFF POINT?

FIFTY FEET.
OH, YOU'LL NEVER MAKE IT.

WE MIGHT
IF WE REDLINE IT.
[ Sighs ]

OH, I WISH COLT
COULD SEE THIS.

WITH A LITTLE LUCK,
HE WILL.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T LIKE TO TELL
YOU FOLKS YOUR BUSINESS,

BUT MY FRIENDS ARE
ON THE YOUNG SIDE--

KIND OF WILD, IF YOU
KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

- WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST,
MR. SEAVERS?
- JUST WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND...

THAT WE DO A LOT OF CRAZY THINGS
IN THE MOVIES.

MY FORTRESS IS IMPENETRABLE.

HANG ON.

NOW DON'T FEEL BAD,
MR. GORDON.
NO PLAN IS PERFECT.

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE
DEALING WITH SOMEBODY
AS CRAZY AS A STUNTMAN.

IF JOHN RYDER
WAS SO DARN HONEST
THAT HE COULDN'T FACE...

WHAT EVERYONE WAS DOING
UP IN LUCKY,

THEN HOW COULD HE
JUSTIFY RUNNING AWAY
USING FORGED CHECKS?

JOHN RYDER NEVER FORGED
A CHECK IN HIS LIFE.

REMEMBER,
THE CHECKS WERE DRAWN ON
HIS STEPFATHER'S OWN BANK.

[ Howie ] MEANING THE OLD MAN
USED JOHN'S TRAIL OF CHECKS
TO LOCATE HIM.

THEN HE REPORTED THEM AS
FORGERIES TO THE AUTHORITIES
SO THAT THEY'D HOLD HIM...

UNTIL HE COULD
SEND SOMEBODY OUT
TO BRING HIM BACK.

THEN WHY DIDN'T HE SIMPLY
TELL THE AUTHORITIES
WHAT HAD HAPPENED?

WELL, HE COULDN'T--
NOT WITHOUT TELLING
THE WHOLE STORY...

AND SENDING PEOPLE TO JAIL
THAT HE CARED ABOUT, INCLUDING
HIS GIRLFRIEND'S FATHER.

HER FATHER? WELL,
HOW DID HE FIGURE IN THIS?

THAT WAS THE DOCTOR THAT
PUT GORDON BACK TOGETHER.

SHOULDN'T THERE BE SOME REWARD
MONEY WE CAN GET OUR HANDS ON?
NOT NECESSARILY.

ALL THE MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT.
UNLESS, OF COURSE,
YOU'D LIKE TO INVEST...

IN A SMALL PIECE OF PROPERTY
IN LUCKY, NEVADA.
[ Colt ] TOO LATE.

I GAVE WHATEVER INTEREST
WE MIGHT HAVE IN THAT DEAL
TO JOHN AND JACKIE.

YOU GAVE OUR INTEREST AWAY?
MAY I REMIND YOU ALL
I'M THE ONE...

WHO DROVE THE CAR THROUGH THE
HOUSE, WHICH MADE IT POSSIBLE
TO PUT THAT MAN OUT OF BUSINESS?

WELL, MAY I REMIND YOU WHO IT
WAS THAT PUT ME OUT OF BUSINESS
A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO?

I THOUGHT YOU HAD
AN ACCIDENT, COLT.
HE DID.

HOWIE, WHAT HAPPENED?

YOU HAVE TO EXPECT A FEW
ACCIDENTS IN OUR BUSINESS.
HOWIE.

YOU WOULDN'T WANT ME
TO GO BACK ON A CONFIDENCE
WITH COLT?

UH-HUH.
COLT.

OKAY, KID, I'LL TAKE YOU
OFF THE HOOK.
THANKS, COLT.

GO AHEAD AND TELL HER
WHAT HAPPENED.
