♪♪

Ain't you never gonna fix that coffee, Jenny?

Why do you think I went for the water?

Just make the coffee.

Don't let success go to your head, Zel.

You've been broke before,

and you'll be broke again before too long.

Well, then you'll be just broke right along with me.

Mm, share and share alike.

Why don't you two quit scrappin'.

Oh...

Well, I guess that does it.

$2,500 apiece, huh?

That's not too bad a haul.

We'll do better than this, Zel.

You ain't forgot about Pueblo already, have you?

Not hardly. When do we have to be there?

At the end of the month.

That's when the gold shipments come in.

And it won't be easy, not like Rush Center was today.

Well, then we'll just have to work a little harder,

shoot a few more people.

Plenty of money in it.

There sure will be.

What about that coffee, Jenny?

Would you like me to make it with cold water?

You know, uh, it's a couple of weeks to the end of the month.

We can't spend it sitting around here.

I think it'd be a good idea to separate.

We can meet again in Pueblo.

Where are you going?

Uh, Wichita, I think.

Good. Well, Jenny and me'll go to Dodge.

I got a hankerin' to do a little gambling.

Easy come, easy go.

Now, what are you talking about? I can double this money.

Hey... got a surprise first.

Yeah, what?

You just sit there, now.

What's he up to?

Oh, he's got a bottle of whiskey buried out there.

You sure do keep your eyes open, don't you?

A girl has to.

Well, keep 'em open in Dodge.

We don't want anything to go wrong, do we?

I'll do my best.

Doc!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Hey, Doc. - Hello, Matt.

You know your horse has got a loose shoe

on the left front foot there?

How can you tell that?

You want to bet on it?

Well, no, I don't want to bet you, but you're wrong.

Well, I'll tell you, we'll just go on over

to the blacksmith's shop and find out.

All right.

I want to say hello to Quint, anyway.

What kind of a trick is this, anyway?

You're just too lazy to walk, that's what it is.

Whoa.

Quint!

- Hello, Doc. - How are ya?

Matt.

Hi, Quint.

All right, we'll find out right now.

Quint, I want you to take a look at that left front shoe.

Sure, Doc.

You got a loose shoe here, Doc.

- What?! - Yep.

Well, I'll be darned.

It's a bad fault of yours, Doc.

What is?

A man can't trust his friends is in trouble.

Yeah...

What are you talking about?

Well...

I'm not gonna sit here while he tries to explain it to ya.

Now, uh, can you fix that shoe

and then take the horse and buggy over to Moss Grimmick's?

Glad to, Doc.

How's business, Quint?

I can't complain, Matt.

Most folks been real nice about helping me get started.

Most folks?

Well, some people don't take too kindly

about my being half Comanche, Doc.

Who don't?

It don't matter. I'm used to it now anyway.

You're right, Quint. You can't fight 'em all.

That's right. There ain't no money in it either.

You're lucky you got a rich customer right here.

Oh, yes, yes, I'm rich in promises.

Now don't be too long about that

'cause I never know when I'm gonna have a call.

It won't be more than a half an hour, Doc.

All right.

- See you later, Quint. - So long, Matt.

Hey, you.

- You talking to me? - Mm-hmm.

You know how to shoe a horse?

Yeah, I know how.

Well, come on, Jenny, get down.

You, uh, you want 'em both shod?

No, no, just, uh, just this one here.

The other one I want to leave.

Now don't you mistreat that animal.

I heard how you redskins are.

Cowboy down the street, he told me about you.

Well, maybe you better take him someplace else.

No, no, I... I ain't got no time to take him someplace else.

Come on, Jenny. Let's go.

Now why'd you have to be so mean for?

Why, it's good to let people know where they stand, Jenny.

Now you take some money

and go and buy yourself some clothes.

Oh? What kind of clothes?

The kind you'll need for working in a saloon.

I don't want to work in a saloon.

Well, it won't be for long, Jenny.

Why does it have to be for anytime at all?

I'm gonna be doing some gambling, Jenny.

And I want you around where I can keep an eye on you.

Now I'm going down to the Dodge House

and get us a couple rooms.

You come down there when you get through.

Business is kind of slow, ain't it?

It's fine with me. Except it picks up from now on.

Well, there's one game going though.

I guess it's big enough for me.

You're sure confident, aren't you?

I'm gonna double this money, Jenny,

and I ain't gonna waste no time doing it either.

Yeah? Good luck.

There room for one more, gents?

Well, if you got any money, there is.

Well, I happen to have a little.

I'll bet $20.

Too much for me.

Hello, Kitty.

Hmm, hello, Matt.

Well, looks like you're making a lot of money tonight.

Can't complain.

Who's the new girl?

Name is Jenny Glover.

I got an idea she belongs to our new gambler.

Who's that?

I hear his name is Zel Meyers.

I don't know anything else about him

except that he's losing a lot of money.

You sure keep track of your customers, don't you?

Strangers especially.

Well, I got to make the rest of my rounds.

I'll be back before closing time.

All right.

Three deuces.

Well, that's enough for tonight, gents.

Come on around tomorrow night

and I'll give you a chance to win it back.

Mm, maybe I will.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Don't leave.

Uh, I want to buy drinks for the house.

Well, not for me, thanks. I'm gonna go on to bed.

It's been a long day.

Thanks for the game, gents.

Anytime, anytime.

Zel.

Lost it all, didn't you?

I wouldn't worry about that, Jenny.

Where you going now?

Dodge House. I'm wore out.

Aren't you gonna wait for me?

I'm tired, Jenny.

You can get somebody else to walk you home, can't you?

Just for tonight?

You don't mind, do you?

It wouldn't matter much if I did, would it?

That's a good girl.

Excuse me.

Hold it!

What's this?

I want my money back.

Well, what kind of a gambler are you?

You lose your stake

and you hold a man up to get it back?

I want that money.

Well, I've got a surprise for you, mister.

I kind of figured you for what you are,

and I don't have any money on me.

Now don't you lie to me!

I gave it to a friend to hold for me.

A man you ain't even seen.

You seem to forget that I'm holding a gun on you, mister.

Well, search me then.

Turn around and put your hands against the wall.

Not a red cent.

You won't find a red cent on me.

You won't get away with this.

Well, it looks to me like I already got away with it.

Hey, there's somebody laying there.

I didn't hear no shooting.

Look there. Maybe he done it.

Hey, mister! Wait up, there!

♪♪

♪♪

Who is it?

Marshal Dillon.

The door ain't locked.

Well, come on in, Marshal.

You Zel Meyers?

Mm-mm. I am.

Must be pretty important,

waking a man up in the middle of the night.

What time is it, anyway?

You always sleep with your door unlocked, do you?

Yeah, I usually do.

I lead a clean life, Marshal.

There ain't nobody after me.

Leaving this door unlocked proves that, huh?

Well, I got nothing to hide.

Get your clothes on.

Get my clothes on? What fer?

You're going to jail.

Now look here, Marshal,

I got a right to know what this is all about.

- Chuck Eaton is dead. - Who?

The man who won all your money at poker tonight.

Oh?

Oh, that's too bad.

Who shot him?

Come off it, Meyers.

He was hit on the head.

A friend of mine saw you in that alley.

He described you to me.

Now, what's your game, Marshal?

You trying to... trying to hang it on a stranger

just because you can't find the one who did it?

Get out of bed and get your clothes on right now.

Don't-don't-don't shoot!

I quit.

Now, you can't blame me.

No man wants to go to jail for something he didn't do.

All right, get out of bed and get up.

All right.

You hit me in the shoulder, Marshal.

Get going.

Well, I ain't even got my boots on.

You should've thought of that before.

- Hello, Doc. - Matt.

I didn't know you were in there.

I was checking on my patient.

Well, I've been checking on your patient, too,

with Judge Brooking.

Is he going to try him right away?

No, he can't get around to it for several weeks.

- Marshal Dillon? - Yes.

- I'm Jenny Glover. - Yes, I know.

I think I saw you at the Long Branch last night.

Oh?

I saw you, too.

This is Dr. Adams, here.

- How do you do? - Hello, Doc.

What can I do for you?

Well, I, um...

I came to see Zel Meyers.

I'll be at my office, Matt.

All right, Doc.

All right.

You got a visitor, Meyers.

Well, you took your time getting here.

How're you feeling?

Oh, fine...

for a man that got shot last night.

I got news for you.

Oh, you found the man who done it?

No, we didn't.

You were lucky... Nobody saw you do it.

You may get off being hung,

but you're a cinch for 20, 30 years.

I ain't been tried yet, Marshal.

No, but you will be, in a few weeks.

In the meantime, Judge Brooking set your bail

at a thousand dollars.

A thousand dollars?

If it had been up to me, you wouldn't be out on bail at all.

But Judge Brooking has a mind of his own.

Well, I'm glad for that.

You got the money?

Now, you know danged well I ain't got the money.

I'll be outside.

You can stay as long as you want.

Thanks, Marshal.

Did you do it?

Course not.

I gotta get out of here.

I can't hang around here waiting for no trial.

We got a date with Flack in Pueblo, remember?

Yeah.

But a thousand dollars?

We don't need no thousand dollars.

What do you mean?

The marshal...

Well, what about him?

Well, you know, Jenny.

The same way we worked it in St. Louis.

You know what to do.

Yeah.

And I'm the one who had to take the job at the Long Branch

so's you could keep an eye on me.

This is different. This is important.

Now, I got to get out of here, you know that.

Yeah, I know.

All right, Zel.

All right, I'll do it.

But you just remember one thing:

this was your idea.

Marshal...

there's something that might interest you,

something I want to tell you.

All right.

Oh, not here.

Can you come to the Dodge House?

Why there?

Well, it has to do with all this, Marshal, and...

Well, can you make it about mid-afternoon?

All right, I'll meet you in the lobby.

Oh, no. No.

Room 28.

You'll understand when you get there.

♪♪

Hello, Marshal.

Hello.

Won't you come in and sit down?

Thank you.

Uh... How about a drink?

No, thanks.

What did you want to see me about?

Well, there's, uh...

there's something that I'd like to explain to you, Marshal.

About, uh...

about Zel and me.

All right.

Well, you see, Marshal,

I used to think that I was in love with Zel.

When he took me out of that dance hall in Abilene,

I guess I was grateful to him...

for a while, anyway.

But that was a long time ago.

You're still with him.

Habit, mostly.

Fear, too, I guess.

Well, you sure don't have to be afraid of him now.

Marshal...

he wants out of jail.

He wants me to work on you

so you'll let him go, bail or no bail.

Is that why you asked me here?

Well, ordinarily, I would have done it for him.

But with you it's different.

How do you mean?

Well, I've finally found a man

that maybe I could even love.

Wait.

Please, I'm serious.

Can't you tell?

Sorry, Jenny.

Are you... turning me down?

I'm turning you down.

Well, why?

What's wrong with me?

I'm young, and pretty.

It won't work, Jenny.

No, wait.

It won't work.

Use your head.

You leave now, Marshal, and there'll be trouble.

Worried about Zel?

I don't care about Zel.

He can rot in jail.

It's up to you.

So help me, Marshal, if you leave now, you'll regret it.

So long, Jenny.

♪♪

Good evening, Marshal.

What are you doing here?

Why, waiting for you.

You shouldn't leave your windows unlatched.

How'd you find this room?

Oh, that was easy.

All right, Jenny.

Out of here.

Not unless you go with me.

To, um... someplace like Wichita?

To get married? Huh?

No, Jenny.

Oh, Marshal...

all I have to do is start screaming

and somebody's bound to hear me.

The answer is no.

You sure?

Just think of what it could mean.

I'll show you what it means.

Put me down, you big bully!

Marshal, now you put me down!

Put me down, you big...

Put me down!

What are you doing? Put me down!

Kitty.

Stop it! Put me down!

Kitty, let me in, will you?!

Oh! You...

Whoa. What...?

Sure.

Oh! I'll kill you!

What are you doing? Where am I?

Oh.

Kitty.

Evening, Jenny.

Now, why did you bring me here?

'Cause here, you can holler all you want to

and it won't do you any good.

Oh, I think I get it.

I found her waiting for me in my room like that.

Oh, that's a lie!

He took me there.

That's one of the oldest games in the world.

- Yeah. - You call it a game?

Oh, he's some lawman... He ought to be in jail.

Oh, come on, Jenny, I've been around too long.

Don't try to sell anybody that story.

Matt did the smartest thing in the world in bringing you here.

It wrecked any chance you had of anybody believing you.

I said I'd kill you and I will.

When I get through with you,

there won't be enough left for burying.

Even the dogs won't have you.

I think you deserve a drink.

I'll tell you, I could sure use one.

Some nights are sure longer than others, aren't they?

One thing about this job...

You don't make much money, but you sure don't get fat.

At least you're your own boss.

You mean I'm free to starve to death if I want to.

Now, you can talk all you want,

but I don't feel too sorry for you.

What time did you get to bed last night?

About 9:30.

I was just starting my rounds at 9:30.

Well, I can't help it if you're such a high liver, Matt.

All those saloons, celebrating every night.

You lead about the wildest life I ever did hear of.

Yeah, and just think, I get paid for it, too.

I am thinking.

Complaining to the government about it.

You Marshal Dillon?

Yeah.

I was told I might find you hanging around here.

You want something?

Yeah, I want to give you this.

What's that?

That's a thousand dollars.

Bail money for Zel Meyers.

Count it.

You his partner or something?

No, I'm a friend.

You must be a pretty good friend

to come up with a thousand dollars.

What's your name?

Flack, Al Flack.

Will you turn him loose now?

Looks like I got no choice.

I'll see you later, Quint.

All right, Matt.

Hello.

What are you doing here?

I saw you get off the stage.

I've kind of been expecting you.

Yeah, I guess you have been, Jenny.

I see, so it was you that sent for him, huh?

That's right, Marshal.

I'll get your receipt for you.

Did you have a good trip?

Well, I hate stages... it'll be good to get back on a horse.

- You buying one here? - Yeah.

Now, we've got to be getting on to Pueblo, and soon, too.

Yes, I know.

He sure got himself into a mess this time.

He sure did.

- Hello, Flack. - Zel.

Why didn't you tell me you sent for him?

And where have you been lately anyhow?

I've been busy, Zel, real busy.

Mm-hmm.

Thanks, Marshal.

Let's get out of here.

Well, what are you waiting for, Jenny?

I'm staying here.

What?

With the marshal.

What do you mean you're staying with the marshal?

Look, Zel,

you and I are through, finished.

And I found something new.

Found something new?

I... I don't believe it.

Well, it's true.

The marshal has shown me a whole new way of life.

Haven't you, Matt?

Jenny, I'm getting awful sick and tired of this...

Oh, Matt, I'm just trying to show Zel

how much you've taught me to love you.

So that's your game, huh, Marshal?

You throw a man in jail then you steal his girl?

Oh, Zel, I couldn't help it, honest I couldn't.

I've just never met a man like him before.

Well, there ain't many of them around.

Not alive anyhow.

They usually get killed off early.

Zel, let's go.

Hold it a minute, Meyers.

I want to tell you something.

Everything she's saying here is a lie

and if you're smart, you won't believe it.

Oh, Matt, don't try to save his feelings.

And another thing.

You're out on bail... Don't try and leave town.

Well, I wouldn't worry about that, Marshal.

By the time I get through leaving town,

you're gonna be laying dead.

Zel, no!

No, please!

He meant it, Marshal.

He's gonna kill you.

All right, you can get out of here now, Jenny.

Of course.

I'll see you at your burying.

Bye.

Bottle and two glasses here.

Sure be good to have some of my own money again.

You're the only one that's stopping it, Zel.

The only thing that's stopping me is that marshal.

You ain't stopped him yet.

Here's to that gold over in Pueblo.

That gold that can't be kept waiting.

Will you quit needling me, Flack?

I'll get the job done.

That marshal will die of old age

before you get around to killing him.

Now, what are you talking about?

It's only been this afternoon I said I'd do it.

That's plenty of time.

You thinking I'm scared, ain't you?

- I didn't say that. - I know you didn't say it.

But you're right, I am thinking it.

I'll show you, I'll show you tonight.

That marshal's living his last few hours right now.

Well, I'll drink to that.

I got it all planned... It won't be no trouble at all.

All right, then we can ride out tonight

as soon as it's done.

Well, sure.

Don't fail me, Zel.

The latest we can leave town is tomorrow noon.

Otherwise we're gonna miss that gold shipment

and I ain't about to do that.

Will you quit worrying?

He's as good as dead and we're as good as out of town.

You could forget about the marshal, you know?

Let me put it to you straight, Flack...

He dies...

or I ain't going.

All right.

All right.

Was he listening to us?

No, no, he's just some old rummy, hangs around here.

He don't count for nothing.

Louie, you all right?

Oh, sure, I'm all right, Marshal.

I was just out looking for...

Say...

Say...

It's you I've been looking for.

Oh, well, what did you want to see me for?

Oh, it ain't me that's after you.

It's them other fellers.

What "other fellers" is that?

I don't recall their names exactly.

What do you mean they're after me?

One of them is.

Where did you see them?

There wasn't nothing to see, Marshal.

It's what there was to hear that's important.

Well, Louie, how many were there?

Two.

Two?

Well, that's the first straight answer you've given me.

He wants to kill you so he can go to Pueblo.

He's scared of you,

but he's gonna show he ain't by killing you tonight.

I see. This man's name wouldn't be Zel by any chance, would it?

I couldn't get any names, Marshal.

But he's the same fella I seen running

in the alley the other night.

All right, Louie.

Thanks a lot... I'll keep a sharp eye out.

You better go on home to bed now.

That's right

where I was heading, Marshal.

Louie, when you gonna stop drinking?

Now, Marshal.

Tonight.

I've had my last drop as long as I live.

Good night, Louie.

Good night, Marshal.

I'm sure glad I found you.

All right, go on and draw.

Oh, heh, you, uh, you scared me.

I didn't know who it was.

And now that you know?

Well, y-you shouldn't sneak up on a man that way, Marshal.

You were gonna knock on the window, were you?

Well, I was just trying to see if anybody was home.

Anybody?

Mm, well, my-my partner, he-he said

he took a room around here somewhere.

I thought maybe this was it.

Well, it so happens that's my room.

Oh, it's your room.

I ought to kill you for trying to ambush me.

Next time I will.

Now, you face me like a man or forget about it.

Well, I... I was looking for you.

But not to shoot you.

Just to-to make you edgy, to haunt you some.

And you've made me edgy, mister,

and I've had about enough out of you.

You, uh, you had enough of Jenny, too?

You're a fool, Meyers.

I haven't had anything to do with her.

I'm gonna get you for it, Marshal.

You couldn't get me in the back, how you gonna get me face on?

Why don't you just give up?

I won't never give up.

Well, how you gonna do it?

I'm gonna walk in there and I'm gonna shoot him.

Unless you've changed your mind and you want to do it yourself.

Now, it ain't that, Flack.

Just ain't had time to get him where I want him, that's all.

We ain't got time.

What he needs time for is to get his courage up.

And that just may take years.

Now, ain't you forgetting you're a prisoner on this trip?

We can get rid of you anytime, permanent.

Zel, are you still set

on not leaving Dodge till the marshal's dead?

Flack, I made my mind up to it.

All right.

I sure ain't got nothing against killing a marshal.

Well, I'll cover you.

Yeah, you be ready.

Because when that shooting's done in there,

I want to get out of town fast.

And I mean real fast.

♪♪

Quint?

Quint?!

Morning, Matt. I wake you up?

No, I've been up... I've been getting shot at

already this morning.

- Shot at? - Yean, by Al Flack.

He rode out west of town with Zel Meyers and Jenny.

You need some help?

I sure could use a hand.

I'll be right along.

I'll see you at the stable.

♪♪

♪♪

About to rain.

Yeah. We better find cover.

Well, we sure was lucky to find this place.

Cache of supplies and everything.

It's a good sign.

- That rain is, too. - Hmm?

Our luck is running real good.

That rain's already washed out our tracks.

Well, there ain't nobody following us.

Nobody knows we shot the marshal.

Nobody except Jenny here.

Yeah.

Yeah, Jenny knows lots of things about us,

don't you, Jenny?

A lot more than I want to.

A lot more than you ought to.

That's why we brung you with us, Jenny.

We wouldn't feel safe if you was back in Dodge

talking your head off.

Get this straight, Zel.

I'm leaving you when we get to Pueblo... for good.

You're leaving us a long time before you get to Pueblo...

and for good.

What do you mean?

I'm looking for a place where you won't never be found,

and I'm gonna bury you in it.

You plan to just murder me?!

Gonna shoot ya.

And if it works out to be murder...

why, we'll just have to go along with it, that's all.

Well, Quint, just think, you could be home in bed

sound asleep and dry right now.

I'd just be worried about you out here all lost and miserable.

I don't know if I'm lost, but I'm sure miserable.

You've lost their trail, that's for sure.

This rain keeps up,

it's gonna be a chore to find it again,

even in daylight.

Wish we could find some cover.

Well, we go out scouting around for cover now,

we'll sure never find their trail again.

I wasn't serious.

I like sitting out in the rain.

Well, there's one thing,

we got plenty of time to enjoy it.

Five hours till daylight.

What are you stopping here for, Zel?

Mm, there.

Make a pretty good grave.

Pile a few rocks on top of her body,

and nobody'd ever find it.

I guess not.

Let's get busy.

Can't leave her laying around out in the open, can we?

I mean, buzzards will start circling around

and the first cowboy that spots it,

why, he'll come take a look-see.

Get down, Jenny.

Why should I bother?

Get down or I'll drag you off the horse.

- Zel? - Hmm?

You really are all through with Jenny, ain't you?

Yeah, yeah, sure am.

Now come on. Let's get busy.

Now wait a minute.

Now what's eating you, Flack?

Now let's not be in a big hurry. We got lots of time.

Oh, we do, huh? Well, what are we waiting for?

Well, I been thinking.

I mean, it's a, it's a waste killing Jenny here.

She's a pretty girl.

Flack, you and Jenny?

Well, seeing as how she ain't nothing to you no more, why not?

No, no, by golly, she run off from me,

and she's gonna pay for it.

Well, then beat her a little.

Ain't no profit in killing her.

Will you keep out of this, Flack?

She's my gal, and I'm gonna do what I want with her.

You just remember, you're gonna do your own killing this time.

How about it, Jenny?

I don't know.

Say you'll go with me, and I'll stop him.

Look, he just said no.

Hey, Flack!

Come on over here and help me roll these rocks.

Zel ain't a real man. You know it.

Who had to kill the marshal for him?

He'd never buck me if the chips was down.

This time he just might.

You think I can't take him? He knows I can take him.

Now how about it, Jenny?

Jenny, make up your mind.

All right, all right, Flack, I'll go with you.

Hey! Somebody's coming.

What about her?

She won't say a word, will you, Jenny?

What good would it do me?

Well, it'd be a lot easier

than what I'm gonna do to you if you start talking.

Hello there.

Well, it's that breed from Dodge.

What are you doing out here?

I was just doing a little hunting.

I remember you. I, uh, worked on your horses, didn't I?

You been doing some hunting, where's your game?

Well, I ain't got none yet today.

Today? How long you been out?

Night before last. Why?

No reason.

I, uh, got some meat back in camp about five miles back

if you want some.

Well, maybe you wouldn't mind riding back

and bringing us some.

Yeah, I'd be glad to.

I thought you killed him! It's a trick!

No!

Hyah!

- You all right, Quint? - Yeah.

- You all right? - Yeah.

Is he dead?

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

That's what's left of his half of the bank robbery

at Rush Center, Marshal.

Well, thanks, Jenny.

Look, uh, I want to thank you

for what you did a minute ago there, too.

You saved my life.

Well, you saved mine, Marshal.

You could have started shooting back there.

So it kind of makes us even then, doesn't it?

Yeah. So, uh, now maybe we can start all over again.

Sorry, Jenny.

All right, all right, I give up.

Look, uh, soon as we get some burying done around here,

we'll be heading back to Dodge. We'll take you along with us.

No, thanks. I think I'll just head on east.

They tell me Garden City's just a few miles on,

so I think I can catch a stage there.

Where'll you go?

St. Louis.

Big town's better for a girl.

- Jenny. - What's this for?

Well, if you're gonna take a stage, you gotta buy a ticket.

Thanks, Marshal.

- So long, Jenny. - So long.

That fella was carrying a lot of money, wasn't he?

About $200 is all he had left.

He must have spent the rest of it.

You, uh, gave it all to her, didn't you?

Well, they can make it up at the bank out of my own pay.

After all the trouble she gave you?

Well, I don't know, Quint.

I guess maybe I gave her some trouble, too.
