02:22 (dramatic music)
02:24 - Guessed right about you, didn't I?
02:35 - You're pretty sure of yourself,
02:36 a man that never met me before.
02:38 - Oh, I've heard of you.
02:40 I know you go for a deal anywhere where there's money.
02:44 My name is Poe, William Poe.
02:46 Did you ever hear of a man called Shawnee Bill?
02:51 - I have.
02:52 - Don't bother to read the description.
02:59 Just look at the price.
03:02 I know what he looks like.
03:03 He's about six foot one, weighs 210 pounds.
03:05 Has gray eyes and sandy hair.
03:07 - Could be anybody.
03:08 Could be the banker here in Hooker.
03:09 Could be the bouncer in the bar.
03:11 - (laughs) Yes, but I know where he is.
03:15 Now, for half that reward money in advance,
03:17 I'll take you to him.
03:18 - Sure you will, to his grave.
03:20 I heard he's been dead for five years.
03:22 - Oh, he's not dead.
03:23 - Then why don't you take him?
03:25 - Not without the use of one arm.
03:28 He's a tough customer, Randall.
03:33 The reason I've cut you in on this is because,
03:35 aside from your interest in cold, hard cash,
03:38 I understand that you have a strong hankering
03:39 to uphold the law.
03:41 - Not this strong.
03:44 When a man's investing $1,000 in advance,
03:46 he's only thinking of one thing.
03:48 - If Johnny Bill might not be where you say he is,
03:51 then I lose.
03:52 - Well, nothing in life is that sure.
03:55 But that's the gamble.
03:57 Double or nothing.
03:58 - Looks like you've wasted room, Randall.
04:02 - Or maybe you've lost your nerve.
04:05 You know, I watched you play poker downstairs.
04:09 You were betting like a man who bet long odds.
04:12 I was wrong about you.
04:14 You only play that kind of poker
04:15 when you've got three kings up your sleeve
04:17 against a sucker who thinks that luck
04:18 and no brains will get him through.
04:21 - Too bad, Randall.
04:27 - Whoa.
04:28 - Where do we find him?
04:36 - A little town called Trinidad, Colorado.
04:39 About 80 miles across the Texas border.
04:41 All in all, it's about 170 miles from here.
04:43 We could make it in six days.
04:44 - Whoa, you'll have to have gotten yourself a headache.
04:47 We're gonna stay closer together
04:48 than two fleas in a prairie chicken.
04:51 You might as well go over and make yourself comfortable.
04:53 You're gonna be here for the night.
04:56 - All right.
04:57 (dramatic music)
05:00 - That's enough.
05:23 Say, boy, would you like to make a dollar?
05:26 - Sure.
05:27 - Hold this.
05:28 I want you to take this letter,
05:36 put it on the Butterfield stage.
05:38 - Gotcha.
05:39 - I want you to hurry, huh?
05:43 (dramatic music)
05:56 - Thanks, boy.
05:57 - Hurry it up.
06:00 Come on, horse or saddle, pal?
06:16 (dramatic music)
06:19 - Now, listen, if that shoulder's gonna bother you,
06:30 let's get it taken care of now.
06:31 - Don't you worry about the shoulder.
06:45 - Oh, boy.
06:46 - Well, let's move it.
06:59 - Game's over, Randall.
07:07 - Hey, what's the matter with you?
07:13 That $1,000 that you gave me is in a United States mail bag
07:16 on board that stagecoach that just left town.
07:19 And about that long trek to Trinidad, Colorado,
07:22 trip really isn't necessary anymore.
07:23 You see, I'm Shawnee Bill.
07:26 - Hold it.
07:31 - Sandy hair, gray eyes.
07:39 Six foot one, about 210 pounds.
07:42 Huh, William Poe, alias Bill Poe, alias Shawnee Bill.
07:47 - Oh, you got a funny sense of humor.
07:49 - I figured a gambler like yourself would appreciate it.
07:51 Oh, you can put that up.
07:53 Look, Randall, you bet into a hand
07:55 that's a little too big for you this time.
07:57 - We're not through playing yet.
07:59 - Of course, you're gonna take me into Colorado
08:01 and turn me in, but I think you'd best consider
08:03 that 170 miles is quite a long ways.
08:06 Anything can happen.
08:08 - It said dead or alive.
08:10 - Yes, but you can't carry a dead man far
08:12 across rough country like that.
08:14 Now look, why don't you save us both needless wear
08:16 and tear on the flesh?
08:17 - Take your licking.
08:19 Just mark it up to profit and loss.
08:20 - Only your loss.
08:22 I'll get you back, and I'll get that reward.
08:25 - As if we both get to Colorado together.
08:29 - For $1,000, I'll take you to Hades.
08:30 Now get on your animal.
08:38 - You're gonna need a lot of luck.
08:41 - I might at that.
08:43 - Roll it.
09:04 - No.
09:05 - What's eating at you, Randall?
09:11 It's the third time we've backtracked in the last hour.
09:14 - You wouldn't know why.
09:16 - There's nobody out there if that's what's bothering you.
09:18 - Uh-huh.
09:19 There isn't, huh?
09:21 - I'm telling you, nobody.
09:23 Just you and me and all this loneliness
09:26 and 150 more miles to go.
09:29 Maybe you'd like to back out now.
09:33 - That is like cutting off my right arm.
09:34 Here.
09:36 I don't want any.
09:37 - Drink it.
09:38 I'm delivering you to Colorado.
09:42 Nice and healthy now, yeah?
09:44 (water dripping)
09:47 (dramatic music)
09:50 (water dripping)
09:53 (dramatic music)

10:04 (dramatic music)
10:07 (dramatic music)
10:09 (dramatic music)
10:12 (dramatic music)
10:42 - Nobody out there, huh?
10:44 Whose fire is that?
10:46 We've been followed ever since we left Hooker.
10:51 - Well, maybe the best thing you can do
10:52 is let me go right here and now.
10:54 - Who is he?
10:55 - I told you 170 miles was gonna be a long way to take me.
11:00 - You think your partner's gonna get you away from me.
11:01 You're wrong.
11:02 You better start getting used to traveling at night.
11:07 - You're wasting your talents.
11:09 That's no partner of mine.
11:11 I'll tell you one thing, he's not losing our trail.
11:15 - You can backtrack from now till the cows come home.
11:18 His name is Galt, he's half Cherokee.
11:21 You can't shake him, you can't catch him.
11:22 Whether you like it or not, Mr. Randall,
11:24 you've got yourself another shadow.
11:27 (dramatic music)
11:30 (tires screeching)
11:36 (dramatic music)
11:40 (dramatic music)
11:43 - Wiping out those trail tracks isn't gonna save you either.
11:48 If he doesn't get you, I will.
11:49 - Will you now?
11:51 - I'm not lying, he's after me.
11:55 - Yeah, good, real good.
11:57 - Look, I'm telling you, six years ago,
12:00 Galt and I were in a robbery together with two other men.
12:02 The other two men were killed, Galt got himself captured.
12:05 I managed to get away with the money.
12:07 - Well, that'd figure.
12:08 - When I got out of prison, he,
12:10 when I came back to get his share, I no longer had it.
12:14 Money kind of burns a hole in my pocket.
12:17 Well, easy come, easy go.
12:19 - Stalked him out of that too, huh?
12:21 - I got away.
12:23 He hasn't caught up with me till just now.
12:25 How do you suppose I got this wound on my shoulder?
12:27 From him, the day before I hit that town of Hooker
12:30 and found you.
12:31 Look, he wants that reward money as bad as you do.
12:34 He feels that he's entitled to his money.
12:36 He'll kill you to get it.
12:38 - Like it was when we first started.
12:42 You might both kill me, and that's my gamble.
12:45 Get on.
12:46 - I hope you fill your flush.

14:00 - Here.
14:04 - I don't want it.
14:07 - Drink it.
14:08 (dramatic music)
14:10 (dramatic music)
14:13 - We're through walking.
14:21 (dramatic music)
14:24 - Ha!
14:33 (dramatic music)
14:35 (thunder rumbling)
14:41 (dramatic music)
14:44 (dramatic music)
15:09 - Well?
15:10 - He's out there, he's walking on velvet.
15:14 - You think you lost him?
15:15 - I lost him.
15:16 (dramatic music)
15:37 - No rest for the weary.
15:39 Look who's down there.
15:41 (dramatic music)
15:44 - Galt!
15:50 - I'm waiting, Randall.
15:55 - Thought I lost you at Bend River.
15:57 - I want the man you're taking in, Shawn E. Bill.
16:01 - You're a little late.
16:03 Galt?
16:04 Galt!
16:08 Let you and me make a trade.
16:10 Nobody gets hurt, just Shawn E. Bill.
16:13 - What kind of a trade?
16:17 - I'll split the reward with you.
16:20 - That's not a good deal for you, Josh.
16:23 You'll only just get your money back.
16:25 And besides, how do you know he won't double cross you?
16:28 - No, well that's great coming from you.
16:31 - Randall?
16:32 - No deal!
16:33 (crickets chirping)
16:36 - Now get the horse, Ascension.
16:52 - I'll outweigh you.
16:58 I may not have a chance against that gun of yours,
17:00 but you're gonna make one slip.
17:03 - Now do you believe me?
17:07 - Maybe.
17:07 - What real chance do you think you've got
17:10 of cashing me in?
17:11 You're gonna fall on your face at any hour,
17:14 and you know it.
17:15 He's gonna kill you to take me.
17:18 The only chance you've got is to let me go.
17:20 - No.
17:21 - Look, Randall, this is my fight with Galt.
17:27 Why do you wanna get your head blown off
17:28 for a pocket of money you'll never see?
17:30 - Thank you, but I paid to be here.
17:33 - You know, it's too bad.
17:37 We'd have made a great team,
17:38 except for the fact we were on different sides of the fence.
17:41 - Yeah.
17:42 We're gonna walk the horses up that slope.
17:47 When I tell you, you mount quick.
17:51 - All right.
17:52 (dramatic music)
17:54 - Damn.
18:13 (dramatic music)
18:20 - Okay, now. - Now.
18:22 (dramatic music)
18:51 (gun firing)
18:54 - That's him, come on.
19:00 (gun firing)

19:25 (dramatic music)
19:28 (dramatic music)
19:30 (dramatic music)
19:33 - Shorty!
19:57 Randall!
19:59 (gun clicking)
20:02 (gun firing)
20:05 - There's only one way out of that pocket.
20:10 That's up toward me.
20:11 And I got plenty of time.

22:17 (dramatic music)
22:19 - It was a built hoe.
22:35 - A built hoe?
22:36 - Yes, sir.
22:37 Isn't that a mistake?
22:38 - Take him around the property, Carl.
22:45 - Seems like he was known.
22:47 - Ought to be, he's lived here six years.
22:49 - Whatever trouble you went to, we want to thank you for it.
22:52 - Poe was a good man, lived by the letter of the law.
22:54 - He ain't been gone more than two weeks.
22:56 - Funny, he left town here to raise a thousand dollars
22:59 to send his wife back to St. Louis.
23:01 She needed an operation.
23:02 He was going to join her, settle her, sell out his ranch.
23:05 The money come in by stagecoach yesterday.
23:08 She died the day before.
23:10 - Well, the little girl needed the money anyway.
23:14 - She ain't got nobody but her grandma to take care of her.
23:17 - A little girl?
23:18 Prettiest thing you ever saw, just five years old.
23:22 - You haven't told us where you found him, mister,
23:24 or who you are.
23:25 - My name's Randall.
23:28 I found him up near Squaw Canyon.
23:31 Somebody probably tried to rob him for a $10 bill.
23:35 - Well, tell the little girl someday
23:38 that a man named Randall was kind to her father.
23:41 - Yeah.
23:43 - I'll do that.
23:44 I'll see you now, here.
