03:10This here's George Aswell.
03:12Howdy. My name's Randall.
03:14Uh, you fellas live around here?
03:16Oh, no. We come up from West Texas.
03:18Uh, we're just a couple of, uh, peelers looking for work.
03:20Uh, we're just a couple of, uh, peelers looking for work.
03:22Uh, we're just a couple of, uh, peelers looking for work.
03:24You hunt work, too?
03:26You might say that.
03:28Looking for a fella.
03:30Oh, yeah? We've seen a few.
03:32What's he look like?
03:34Oh, about my size. Dark and plected.
03:36Name's Quinn.
03:38Yeah, we, uh, we seen a couple like that.
03:40Pretty common-sounding fella.
03:42Yeah, well, this fella's got an uncommon habit.
03:44Is that right? What's that?
03:46He kills people.
03:54Come on.
04:10Sure don't look like much.
04:12Nah.
04:14I don't know about you, but I done rode myself bone dry.
04:16I'll buy you one, Randall.
04:18Oh, no thanks.
04:20I gotta go stable my horse.
04:22Maybe I'll see you all later.
04:42Two whiskeys, Mr. Bartender.
04:52You men got business in Pryors Fork?
04:56We don't know yet, Sheriff.
04:58Yeah, maybe we do, and maybe we don't.
05:00Well, you got till morning to find out.
05:02If you're not employed by then, you leave.
05:06Well, Sheriff, we ain't done nothing.
05:08No, it's nothing personal.
05:10I just don't like a lot of loose guns around.
05:12At least not now.
05:14Oh, I see. Big doings, huh, Sheriff?
05:16Well, like you say.
05:18Maybe and maybe not.
05:20Pass the word on to your friend.
05:22Oh, it's different with him.
05:24How's that?
05:26He has got business.
05:32Yes, sir.
05:34Quite a fella.
05:38Anybody here?
05:42Howdy.
05:44Ain't no more asses here.
05:46Mayor's dead.
05:48I'm sorry to hear that, but if you're the Sheriff,
05:50you're the man I'm hunting for.
05:52How much you trouble?
05:54Oh, no trouble, no trouble.
05:56Been looking for this fella named Quint.
05:58Description's right here on the poster.
06:00I followed him up to Tuttle City, ended up here.
06:02$600 reward.
06:04Go a long way for that myself.
06:08Think I ever saw a bounty hunter before.
06:10Well, I put my pants on the same as you do,
06:12one leg at a time.
06:14Come out in the back with me.
06:18Come on.
06:30That your man?
06:32Looks like he's your man now.
06:34Hey, Sheriff, when do we leave?
06:36Tonight. Don't worry, Quint, we'll make it.
06:38We'll make it, all right.
06:40But one of us will be bellied down over a saddle.
06:42What's he for?
06:44Protection for Quint.
06:46I'm Pryor.
06:48Pryor? Pryor's Forks?
06:50Uh, Pryor built this town.
06:52You, uh, have a lynching problem here, do you?
06:54Not really.
06:56Not really? What do you call it, Sheriff?
06:58Look, it's your bond duty
07:00to get me to Tuttle City for trial alive.
07:02You heard what that woman said she'd do?
07:06Sheriff, I'm talking to you!
07:08Her being a woman don't change your duty!
07:10I'll tell you one thing,
07:12somebody's got that fella scared green.
07:14You been talking about me, Henry?
07:16Oh, Angela, this is, uh, Mr...
07:18Randall.
07:20Randall. Angela Pryor.
07:22How do you do, Mr. Randall? How do you do, ma'am?
07:24You still plan on leaving tonight, Henry?
07:26Court opens Friday, 10 a.m., in Tuttle City.
07:28We'll be there.
07:30Oh, no, you won't.
07:32You aren't proven anything by this, Henry.
07:34Angela, go home.
07:36Go home and let me do my job.
07:38Don't you tell me about your job.
07:40I know all about it.
07:42My father gave it to you.
07:44It wasn't exactly a gift.
07:46Oh, I'd forgotten.
07:48It was more like a trade, wasn't it?
07:50But the price was right.
07:52No.
07:54Every day I've been your father's sheriff.
07:56Been a loss, Angela.
07:58I'd hope one day that...
08:00Time is something you can't recoup.
08:02Time and lost opportunities.
08:04I'm going to hang Harry Quinn.
08:06Listen, ma'am,
08:08now, this is none of my business,
08:10but why don't you let somebody else do it for you
08:12after the trial, and then it's legal?
08:14Trial?
08:16Just what kind of a trial would it be, Mr. Randall?
08:18A fair one, I imagine.
08:20Harry Quinn's entitled to a short rope.
08:22Men like that need exterminating
08:24so this country will be fit
08:26for decent people to live in.
08:28This is wild country out here, ma'am.
08:30I don't think another killing's gonna help tame it.
08:32But I do believe that the law will.
08:34The law had its chance.
08:36Harry Quinn stood two murder trials before,
08:38and all he ever got was eight months in a Yuma prison.
08:40Happens all the time.
08:42Men kill and then just go free to kill some more.
08:44But not here.
08:46Not this time.
09:00She means to do exactly as she says.
09:02You seem a little scared.
09:04I, uh...
09:06What? She's just a woman.
09:08She can't cause you much trouble.
09:10She's her father's daughter.
09:12You see, Sam Pryor always got what he wanted.
09:14Always did what he said.
09:16She's got his money now
09:18and his power.
09:20Plenty of easy guns at bargain rates.
09:22Mm-hmm.
09:24Look, I've got to ride back to Tuttle City.
09:26If you want, I'll ride gun for you.
09:28No.
09:30Why not?
09:32People know I've been called on this.
09:34I do.
09:36All right.
09:40Rendell?
09:42Thanks anyway.
09:44Yeah.
09:52Howdy, Ren.
09:56Find your bad man yet?
09:58No. Somebody got there ahead of me.
10:00Find a job?
10:02Nope, but things are perking up a little.
10:04Yeah, we got prospects.
10:06Have a drink with us.
10:08Maybe a little later. I got to see a fella.
10:18Give us two.
10:32Thanks.
10:44You're a little jumpy.
10:46You sure now you don't need any help, huh?
10:48I told you no.
10:50What's got you so all-fired
10:52interested in helping me?
10:54Well, if you want me to tell you the truth,
10:56$600 for him.
10:58We'll get there.
11:00That'll...
11:02Don't worry, Quint.
11:04There's a rope waiting whichever way you go.
11:10You know, Angela Pryor's a very handsome woman.
11:12She must have had a lot of men chasing her.
11:14She did, but none of them were good enough.
11:16That include you, did it?
11:18Include me.
11:20Who decided that?
11:22Sam Pryor.
11:24See, he didn't have a friend in the world,
11:26but he was strong.
11:28But Sam didn't like some fella
11:30hanging around Angela.
11:32He let it be known.
11:34Boy wouldn't scare her. He bought off.
11:36Gave him money, land,
11:38for a good secure job.
11:42Yeah, he's gone now.
11:44She's all alone.
11:46I reckon that's the way he wanted it.
11:50Sorry about the Quint business, though.
11:52She couldn't buy herself a pack of trouble.
11:54You know, uh,
11:56you wouldn't be all by yourself out there.
11:58Not exactly. He'll be alone.
12:00See, he wants to get to Tuttle City
12:02as bad as I do.
12:26Hold your horse where it is.
12:44What are you gonna do, Randall?
12:48I'll tell you what I'd like to do.
12:50I'm gonna take you to Tuttle City.
12:52Tomorrow.
12:56Now who's jumpy?
12:58Say, I just, uh,
13:00just forgot my tobacco pouch.
13:02Well, get it.
13:04Oh, yeah, here it is.
13:06I just seen the sheriff.
13:08Yeah, they got him laid out
13:10down at the barbershop.
13:12Oh, he looks awful nice.
13:14All the holes plugged up.
13:16I thought maybe you might have something
13:18to drink with him.
13:20Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
13:22No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
13:24I thought maybe you might have
13:26some use for me because
13:28I already ate my breakfast.
13:30While you're at it, Randall,
13:32I like my eggs hard.
13:34Yes, Sheriff Wilson, he's a nice fella.
13:36Kind of nervy, but awful nice.
13:38Oh, say, uh,
13:40if you want some breakfast,
13:42right next door at the saloon,
13:44they got good shop there.
13:46You will stay awake, won't you?
13:48Oh, yeah.
13:55I'd like to have a ride, please,
13:57and if you could fix me up
13:59a couple of sandwiches,
14:01I'd sure appreciate it.
14:03Uh, you might lay for that drink.
14:05Yes, I am at that.
14:07You fellas planning on camping in here?
14:09No, uh, I tell you, though,
14:11this is a lot better than sleeping out in the street.
14:13You know, they're real nice to customers in here.
14:15They didn't charge us a thing for sleeping.
14:17Now, back in town,
14:19we got a lot of people
14:21You, uh, fellas been in here all night?
14:23Well, look around the town,
14:25there ain't no other place to go.
14:27Hearing the shooting?
14:29You bet your bottom dollar.
14:31Don't suppose you saw any of it, huh?
14:33Oh, no, sir.
14:35You know, when you hear noise like that,
14:37best thing you can do
14:39is put something between you and it.
14:41After all, uh,
14:43somebody said they got a sheriff.
14:45Yeah, that's right.
14:47I ain't seen a sheriff get it in a long time.
14:49No.
14:51Tell me he was carrying a fella to trial.
14:53Wonder what'll happen to him.
14:55I'm taking him.
15:03Say, uh, how far is it to Price House?
15:05Uh, it's just up the street.
15:07Only decent-looking place in town.
15:09You going up there to see her?
15:11Won't do no good, not now especially.
15:13Why not now especially?
15:15Killed a sheriff, didn't she?
15:17What's to stop her from killing you?
15:19Not a thing.
15:47Howdy.
15:49What do you want?
15:51I'd like to talk to you.
15:53I don't see that we have anything to discuss.
15:55I think we do, ma'am.
16:03I'm waiting, Mr. Randall.
16:05I'm waiting for you.
16:07I'm waiting for you.
16:09I'm waiting for you.
16:11I'm waiting for you.
16:13I'm waiting for you.
16:15I'm waiting, Mr. Randall.
16:17You, uh...
16:19sorry at all?
16:21About Henry?
16:23Yes, I'm sorry.
16:25Very sorry.
16:27I see.
16:29You think I killed Henry, don't you?
16:31That is what you think.
16:33I'll tell you the truth, ma'am. I don't know what to think.
16:35You threatened him, and you threatened Quint.
16:37Now, nobody can prove anything.
16:39And nobody can prove that I didn't either.
16:41Only I didn't.
16:43Now, is that all you came to discuss?
16:45No, ma'am.
16:47I come here to talk to you about Henry Quint.
16:49I've said all I have to say about that.
16:51My father was a great man in this territory,
16:53and now he's dead
16:55because of that sneak thief.
17:01I've seen a lot of killings.
17:03Now, you believe me when I tell you
17:05that nothing's solved by it.
17:07Why are you so concerned about Henry Quint?
17:09I'm not.
17:11I'm not.
17:13I'm just taking him to trial.
17:15Just a public-minded citizen?
17:17No, ma'am.
17:19He's worth $600 to me.
17:21$600?
17:23Well, I'll just double that
17:25if you'll turn him over to me.
17:27Oh, thank you, ma'am.
17:29Then you'll have to stay, Mr. Randall,
17:31dead or alive.
17:33Get him off me, ma'am,
17:35because I'll kill him.
17:37All right.
17:39I'll wait here.
17:45Mr. Randall,
17:47Henry Quint will never get
17:49to Tuttle City alive,
17:51and neither will you.
18:09♪♪♪
18:23Gonna bother you for those bracelets?
18:25Oh.
18:27Would you mind bringing
18:29that fellow's horse over here?
18:39You want to unlock those?
18:45We're going now, huh?
18:47We're going now.
18:49Put these on.
19:05Go ahead.
19:10Much obliged, you old downer.
19:27Ooh.
19:29Now, look, unless you and I understand each other,
19:31you can ride that horse a little bit faster, can't you?
19:33Sure.
19:35The horse gives out, I gotta walk the last 20 miles
19:37to get to Tuttle City. Uh-uh.
19:39You expect to meet somebody out here?
19:41Don't know nobody around here.
19:43My first visit, you might say.
19:45Couple of fellas from West Texas,
19:47that ring a bell?
19:49Don't know what you're talking about.
19:51Mm-hmm. Okay, let's go.
19:53♪♪♪♪
20:03Howdy, Randall.
20:05So you finally got your bad man.
20:07Yeah.
20:09You, uh, give up looking for work, did you, Aswell?
20:11Nope.
20:13I reckon we found ourselves a job after all.
20:15Well, uh, where's Langford?
20:17He's, uh, right there behind you.
20:23Who?
20:25Yes, sir. Yes, sirree.
20:27It's a good job. Pays good, too.
20:29You better hand me that thing butt first,
20:31or I'll blow you out of the saddle.
20:41Got a nice souvenir for you, ma'am.
20:45When you turn down a deal, Mr. Randall,
20:47you just gotta figure that somebody else is gonna take it.
20:49Oh, you must have got these two bargain price cheap.
20:51$400 for Quint, $100 for you.
20:53Can't see it. I care for your values, ma'am.
20:55Just good business sense,
20:57inherited from my father.
20:59Get on off your horse, Randall.
21:01Move over here.
21:13Well, I reckon we ought to get on with it.
21:15Oh, no. I want Quint hanged.
21:17Well, pay us now, ma'am,
21:19and you won't have to wait around to watch.
21:21I'll stay.
21:23You don't seem to understand, ma'am.
21:25They don't want you to stay.
21:27You know, buddy boy, I like you a lot,
21:29but you talk too much.
21:31Oh, let him talk, Ash.
21:33A man always gets a say before he dies.
21:35But you're right, Randall.
21:37A hanging ain't a pretty thing to watch.
21:39We figured we'd spare the lady.
21:41Why don't you tell her the truth?
21:43What is the truth?
21:45They don't plan to hang Quint at all.
21:47I ran into these two fellas before
21:49when I was first coming into town.
21:51They said they were both looking for jobs.
21:53It seemed kind of funny to me,
21:55seeing it's a mining town.
21:57So I got to thinking about it
21:59and took a look at the poster,
22:01and there it was, right in black and white.
22:03Quint had two partners he rode with,
22:05and they were both from West Texas.
22:07That's right, Randall.
22:09Can't blame a man for saving his neck, now can you?
22:11Just do me one favor, will you, Miss Pryor?
22:13What's that?
22:16Quint!
22:30Mr. Randall.
22:32It's all right, I understand.
22:34Go ahead and get back on your horse.
22:46I saw you at Henry Wilson's funeral today.
22:49It was nice of you to come.
22:51He was a good man.
22:53I'm just sorry I didn't get to know him a little better.
22:56I've been feeling that way myself lately.
22:59If you're ever in San Francisco,
23:02I'd be pleased if you'd call on me.
23:04What are you going to be doing up there?
23:06Oh, I'm going to try to run a little bit.
23:09I'm going to try to run a little bit.
23:13Oh, I'm going to try to recoup some lost years
23:16and forget a lot of old memories.
23:19Remember now, call on me.
23:24I'll do that.
23:28And, uh, I thank you, ma'am.
23:31Oh, no, thank you.
