00:08Good morning.
00:09Oh, good morning.
00:11Got my horse ready?
00:12Yes, you have.
00:13Hey, my goodness, but you're an early riser.
00:16Yeah, I want to make Canyon Town before nightfall.
00:18Oh.
00:19Uh, say boy,
00:20uh, go get this gentleman's horse for him, will ya?
00:22It's in stall four.
00:25Looks like an old poster.
00:26Yeah, it is.
00:28How old?
00:29Oh, two years.
00:31Was Sam Gladstone elected sheriff of Aiton?
00:33Yeah.
00:34He's still sheriff over there, as far as I know.
00:37How far is Aiton from here?
00:39Just across the river.
00:41Much obliged.
00:42Mm-hmm.
00:43Thank you.
00:44♪
00:55Hey, mister.
00:57You're headed in the wrong direction
00:58if you're going to Canyon Town.
01:00Change my mind.
01:01I'm going to Aiton.
01:02♪
01:24♪
01:36♪
01:54♪
02:11Drop!
02:12What?
02:13Why, it can't be.
02:15Well, it is.
02:16Joyce.
02:17Joyce Randall.
02:18How you been, Sam?
02:19Oh, I'm fine.
02:20How about you?
02:21Oh, I got no complaints.
02:22Just three years since we saw each other.
02:24More like four.
02:25The Webster case.
02:26You were working out of Tombstone.
02:27That's right.
02:28Say, how'd you find me?
02:29I was passing through Midvale.
02:30Saw an old election poster,
02:31and you were right across the river.
02:33Well, I'm certainly glad to see you.
02:35I really am.
02:36Here, Sam.
02:37You might need this.
02:40Now, Sam, I, uh, thought you might
02:42want to see this right away.
02:47Jackie Harris captured in North Springs.
02:50Being held pending your arrival.
02:52Any answer?
02:54Tell him I'll send someone
02:55the first thing in the morning.
02:56Right.
03:01What's up?
03:02I'm supposed to pick up a prisoner
03:04in North Springs,
03:05but I haven't got anyone to send.
03:07What about your deputy?
03:08I need every one of them.
03:10We're expecting a rough trail
03:11heard through here in a few days.
03:13How far is North Springs?
03:15Why?
03:17Thought I might go for you.
03:18For deputies' pay.
03:20Come out short, Josh.
03:21It's a three-day trip each way.
03:23Besides, the budget won't stand it.
03:25You can owe me.
03:26I got to keep the reputation.
03:28Well, I guess I ought to be polite
03:29and refuse your offer.
03:31But I can't afford to.
03:33You got yourself a job
03:34on one condition.
03:35What's that?
03:36You gotta take a little tour
03:37with me before you go.
03:38Tour of what?
03:39You'll see.
03:40Come on.
03:50Read those and read them good.
03:53Here lies Will Backer,
03:54born April 5th, 1827,
03:56died September 7th, 1877.
04:01Arthur Backer,
04:02born June 12th, 1822,
04:04died September 7th, 1877.
04:07Henry Thompson,
04:08born December 17th, 1845,
04:11died...
04:12Well, they say he was a good guy.
04:14He was a good guy.
04:16He was a good guy.
04:18Died.
04:19Well, they all died the same day.
04:21Same hour.
04:22Only the inscription should read
04:23killed instead of died.
04:25Who did the killing?
04:26Jackie Harris.
04:27Oh.
04:28The prisoner I'm supposed to pick up.
04:30That's her.
04:32Her.
04:33Yep.
04:34That's why I brought you out here.
04:35I didn't want you to underestimate her
04:37the way those fellas did.
04:39Art and Will Backer had a big ranch.
04:41They were middle-aged bachelors.
04:44Brothers?
04:45Yep.
04:46No one thought they'd ever marry.
04:47Then Will took a trip to Oklahoma City
04:49and he came back married to Jackie Harris.
04:52There was some talk he found her in a dance hall,
04:54but we never heard for sure.
04:56How did this come about?
04:57Living way out in the country
04:59with Art and Will,
05:00Jackie got bored.
05:01Took up with a foreman.
05:03That third grave's his.
05:06Henry Thompson?
05:07That's right.
05:08One day Will found them together.
05:10Jackie shot Will.
05:12When Art came to help Will,
05:13she shot him too.
05:15Then because he'd witnessed the other murders,
05:17she turned around and shot Henry Thompson.
05:21Nice story.
05:22Thought you'd like it.
05:23How'd you hear about it?
05:25From Henry Thompson just before he died.
05:27I went out to arrest her,
05:29but she'd already gone.
05:30Well, what do you think?
05:32About what?
05:33Going to North Springs to get her.
05:35Still want to go through with it?
05:37Wouldn't miss it for the world.
05:39Let's get back to the office.
05:40I'll give you the papers you need
05:41and you can leave right away.
05:43If she comes back here, she hangs.
05:45She knows that, so be careful.
05:47I will.
05:48I'll see you in a week.
05:49Hiya.
05:50Okay.
05:57Remember those tombstones.
06:00I'll see you in a week.
06:01Hiya.
06:02Okay.
06:08I'll see you in a week.
06:09Hiya.
06:10Okay.
06:11Remember those tombstones.
06:30Hiya.
06:55Howdy.
06:56Hi.
06:57My name's Randall.
06:58Sam Gladstone's the name.
06:58Sam Gladstone sent me to pick up Jackie Harris.
07:01Pete Links, my name.
07:02Can I see your papers?
07:03Sure.
07:08Three murders.
07:11I can't believe it.
07:12I just can't believe it.
07:14How's that?
07:16You'll see.
07:16Come on.
07:29There's your prisoner.
07:33This is the fellow they sent to take you back.
07:36How do you do?
07:39Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
07:40Josh Randall.
07:42When do we leave, Mr. Randall?
07:44I figured we'd leave first thing in the morning.
07:46Good.
07:47The sooner, the better.
07:48Come on in the office, and we'll sign all the papers.
07:52I said, if you'll come in the office,
07:53we'll sign the transfer papers.
07:55Sure.
07:57See you in the morning, Mr. Randall.
08:00Good morning, Ms. Harris.
08:05It's hard to believe.
08:07What's the matter?
08:08Are you sure that's Jackie Harris?
08:10Yeah.
08:12Well, it don't make sense, that girl killing three men.
08:15Yeah, I know what you mean.
08:17Then again, Sam Gladstone swears she's guilty.
08:21Never known her to be wrong.
08:22Neither have I.
08:28Goodbye, now.
08:29Goodbye.
08:30Goodbye, miss.
08:32Don't be so sad.
08:33It's not forever.
08:35Isn't it?
08:36The charges against me are false.
08:38It'll be proved so in court.
08:40I hope you're right.
08:41Shall we go?
08:42All right.
08:43Thanks for everything, Pete.
08:45It was a pleasure.
08:46Bye.
08:47Bye.
08:58Is something the matter, Mr. Randall?
09:00I want you ahead of me, Ms. Harris, and I told you that.
09:03Sorry, I forgot.
09:04Get up there.
09:05Ha!
09:06Is this better?
09:07Yes, it is.
09:14You're a very good cook.
09:16Thank you, Mr. Randall.
09:17You're welcome.
09:18You're welcome.
09:19Thank you.
09:20Thank you.
09:21Thank you.
09:22Thank you.
09:23Thank you.
09:24Thank you.
09:25Thank you.
09:27You're a very good cook.
09:28Thank you.
09:30You know the charges against you?
09:33Yes.
09:35For the murders of my husband, Will, his brother, Art,
09:38and that foreman.
09:39I've heard the sheriff's story.
09:41You must have something to say.
09:43I'm not guilty.
09:45You're going to have to say a lot more than that.
09:47I intend to.
09:50I'll tell them how the foreman grabbed me that day.
09:54How I was fighting with him when Will came along.
09:58Will shot him.
10:00But before the foreman died, he managed to kill
10:04Will and his brother, Art.
10:07Now, that isn't a story the foreman told.
10:09Before he died, he told the sheriff you were the one
10:11that did all the killing.
10:13Well, I guess that was his way of getting back at me.
10:16If you were innocent, why'd you run?
10:19I was frightened.
10:22All right.
10:26You're alone quite a bit, aren't you?
10:28Huh?
10:30You don't talk much.
10:32People alone a lot get that way.
10:35You married Mr. Randall?
10:37No.
10:38Why not?
10:40Well, it doesn't fit the life I lead.
10:42At least not now.
10:44You're a bounty hunter, aren't you?
10:46Yes.
10:47Surprised.
10:49Why is that?
10:51Well, most of the things I've heard about bounty hunters
10:54are very unpleasant.
10:57But you seem nice.
11:06I think I'll go check the horses.
11:21Miss Harris?
11:25Miss Harris?
11:31I thought you were supposed to stay here.
11:33We needed some more wood for the fire.
11:35From now on, if we need anything, I'll get it.
11:37I'm sorry.
11:38I didn't mean to anger you.
11:48Let me have your hands.
11:52Thank you.
12:01Is that too tight?
12:02No.
12:03All right, you sleep here.
12:04I'm going to bed down on over there.
12:06You're a very cautious man, Mr. Randall.
12:08Old age runs in my family, Miss Harris.
12:10I'd hate to spoil the record.
12:12I don't think that was necessary.
12:22Well, good night.
12:23Good night.
12:26You sure that rope's not too tight?
12:28No, it's fine.
12:31Good night.
12:33Good night.
12:51Good night.
13:15Good morning.
13:19Morning.
13:21If you'll untie me, I'll fix some breakfast.
13:27Why didn't you say something?
13:28What do you mean?
13:30Why didn't you tell me the rope was too tight?
13:32I guess I didn't realize it.
13:36I want you to know I'm sorry.
13:38Well, that's all right.
13:39You were just doing your job.
13:42Well, is it all right if I go ahead with breakfast?
13:45Sure.
13:50Come on.
14:07If you get tired now, let me know.
14:08We'll stop for a while.
14:09No, I can go a bit further.
14:21Come on.
14:27Come on.
14:50Come on.
15:11It took me a mile to catch up with her.
15:12Here.
15:20What's the matter?
15:21Something wrong?
15:22I owe you an apology.
15:24What for?
15:25Why did you come back?
15:27Why didn't you just keep going?
15:29Because I'm innocent.
15:51Thirsty?
15:52Yes.
16:00Thank you.
16:08Where did your family go from Alabama?
16:11Dallas, Texas.
16:12You know, my father was the most traveling man you ever saw.
16:14He was a great sailor.
16:17Dallas, Texas?
16:18You know, my father was the most traveling man you ever saw.
16:20I bet we never spent more than five months on any set spot.
16:23It was just the opposite with us.
16:25We stayed in one place forever.
16:27Not a very nice place either.
16:29I guess I spent most of my time dreaming of when I'd be old enough to go where I wanted.
16:33And when you were old enough, where did you go?
16:35Oh, lots of places.
16:37East for a while, New York, Boston, then back to Georgia.
16:40Finally, I came out here.
16:42You know what I learned?
16:43What?
16:44No matter how different one place looks from another, they're all pretty much alike.
16:49I guess you had your fill of traveling, all right.
16:51Yes.
16:52How about you?
16:53Oh, I get tired of it from time to time.
16:55Especially at night when I'm on the trail.
16:58I pass a house, it's all lit up.
17:01You get a funny feeling?
17:03You wonder if maybe you're not missing something.
17:07That's right.
17:09Yes, I know.
17:11I guess that's why I married Will.
17:13I wasn't in love with him.
17:15I told him if I married him, it was mainly because I wanted to settle down.
17:20He said that was all right.
17:22Not much of a basis for marriage.
17:26Do you mind if we talk about something else?
17:30You know, I'd like to stay here all day.
17:32But we got a lot of ground to cover.
17:35I guess so.
17:44Then my father said,
17:46Well, now, I don't mind you having a cow in the kitchen, son.
17:49But don't you think you ought to introduce him around?
17:53Oh, it all sounds like fun.
17:55Well, we had some hard times, but by and large, it wasn't as bad.
17:59That's what it's going to be like when I have a family.
18:01Lots of laughter in the house.
18:03A lot of fun.
18:05And a lot of money.
18:07And a lot of money.
18:08And a lot of money.
18:09And a lot of money.
18:10And a lot of money.
18:11And a lot of money.
18:12Lots of laughter in the house and good times.
18:18That's right. I'm a little optimistic, aren't I?
18:21Tell me, have they ever hanged a woman in this state?
18:26The sun's beginning to set.
18:28We better stop for the night pretty soon.
18:43You know, we're going to be there tomorrow morning.
18:45Yes, I know.
18:47We could have made it tonight, couldn't we?
18:50Yes.
18:52Why didn't we?
18:56I guess because I didn't want to.
18:59Neither did I, Josh.
19:13What's the matter?
19:14Everything.
19:15Do you know what's going to happen to you when we get to Apeham?
19:17Yes, I'll go on trial and the charges against me will be proven false.
19:21You're going to go on trial, all right,
19:22but you've got about as much chance of an acquittal as a man on the moon.
19:25Josh, I'm innocent.
19:27How are you going to prove it? You've got no witnesses.
19:29They've got the dying word of the foreman.
19:30Besides that, your husband lived in that town all of his life.
19:33He was liked.
19:34You're a newcomer there.
19:37Are you trying to tell me that I have no chance?
19:42That's what I'm trying to tell you.
19:48Don't go to pieces. We'll find a way.
19:50There is no way.
19:52Yes, there is.
19:53No, there isn't. You just said I don't have a chance.
19:55Providing I take you in.
19:59You mean you'd let me go?
20:01I don't know what I mean.
20:02I just thought of something.
20:03What?
20:04There's a town called Blackwell. It's about two miles this side of Apeham.
20:08The train to the east stops there.
20:10If you let me go, I could be on that train and we could meet somewhere in about two weeks.
20:15Slow down. Things are happening too fast.
20:18I've got to have time to think this out.
20:21I'll let you know my answer in the morning.
20:24Yes, I prefer it that way.
20:27I want your decision to be a considered one.
20:30Good night, Josh.
20:40Good night.
21:10Good night.
21:33Hi.
21:34Good morning.
21:37You're an early bird, aren't you?
21:38You're a late one. Your breakfast is ready.
21:43Have you made up your mind?
21:45Yes.
21:53Well, what did you decide?
21:59I'm taking you to Apeham.
22:03I'm sorry, but it's the only thing I can do.
22:08I don't intend to hang.
22:10But if you're innocent, there must be a way of proving it.
22:13You're a fool.
22:15You're as big a fool as Will and his brother in that foreman.
22:18And you know something?
22:20You're going to die just like they did.
22:23I don't understand.
22:24You could have escaped that first day when I fell off my horse.
22:27Why wait until now?
22:29Because I needed you.
22:30This is bad country, full of Indians.
22:32I needed you to get me through it.
22:35But I don't need you anymore.
22:39Goodbye, Mr. Randall.
22:47You took the wrong gun.
22:56I'll settle the horses.
22:58I want to make Apeham by noon.
23:09Miss Harris.
23:27You know something?
23:29When I look at her, I still can't believe she killed three men.
23:33Well, I'll tell you something, Sam.
23:35When you find yourself in a situation like this,
23:36you just remember something you told me.
23:38What's that?
23:40Those tombstones.
23:42I almost had one of my own.
23:45I'll see you later.
24:06THE END
