00:00You
00:31Hello, Jane.
00:33Thank you for coming, Josh.
00:35Come in.
00:41Where's Frank?
00:43He left here this afternoon.
00:45Working?
00:47Yeah. Working.
00:49Well, I'm glad one of us is.
00:51Mustn't be easy on you, Jane, being married to a bounty hunter.
00:54Living in a hotel room, him tramping all over the country.
00:57That's right.
00:59But I want to stay married to him. That's why I sent for you.
01:03Here.
01:05That's for you.
01:13For what?
01:14To bring Frank back before it's too late.
01:17To find him and bring him back alive.
01:29© BF-WATCH TV 2021
02:00Yeah, I heard of him.
02:02Stacey Lynch.
02:06He shot Frank a month ago.
02:08I didn't know that.
02:10Bad?
02:11No. In the leg.
02:13Point is, Frank doesn't want anybody to know. He's ashamed of it.
02:16Well, I can understand that. Nothing to be ashamed of.
02:18That boy's fast.
02:20And young.
02:22And smart. Isn't that right?
02:24I suppose so. What about it?
02:26Different than Frank.
02:28I think Frank can take care of himself.
02:30No.
02:32No more.
02:39It's all emotion now.
02:41Revenge.
02:43Frank figures if he doesn't get Stacey Lynch, he'll live in disgrace.
02:47Doesn't make sense.
02:49Does to Frank.
02:50That boy's just a punk gun.
02:52Not to Frank.
02:54You got to talk to him.
02:56Didn't you?
03:00I'm just a woman.
03:02His woman.
03:05I thought you and him had more than that.
03:07Why?
03:09I don't know. Just seemed that way.
03:11Kind of happy people, you know?
03:13Yeah.
03:15Happy people.
03:17That was my doing.
03:19I obeyed all the rules.
03:21Frank told me what I'd be getting when I married him.
03:23He gave me a choice. I knew what I'd get.
03:25But I wanted Frank.
03:28You know something?
03:30I've been married 25 years and I don't have a single stick of furniture of my own.
03:34That's not much to show for half a life, is it?
03:38You got Frank and that's something.
03:40Sure. That's something.
03:4325 years of being married to a bounty hunter.
03:4525 years of sending him off and not knowing whether he'll come back or not.
03:50Well, I don't think Frank's washed up.
03:52Isn't he?
03:54Going after Stacy Lenz when the doctor told him to stay in bed for another two weeks.
03:57Like I said before, I think Frank will take care of himself.
04:02I don't think you believe that.
04:08I begged him to quit.
04:10You know something?
04:13I saved our money.
04:15I told him.
04:17We could buy a farm.
04:19Or a ranch. Or a store. I don't care anything.
04:21No. No.
04:23Frank had to go after Lenz.
04:26Does he have to get shot at in order to live?
04:28Does he have to die before he can quit?
04:35I don't know.
04:41Look at that.
04:43Frank kept it as a reminder.
04:45The doctor took this one out of his leg, so where will the next one come from?
04:48Where, Josh?
04:51When did Frank leave?
04:55This afternoon.
04:58He took the Arroyo Robles at Ernesto's barn halfway up.
05:00He may have laid over there.
05:02His leg bothered him, didn't he?
05:04Yeah. It was.
05:06Mind if I take this along with me?
05:08What about the money?
05:13Did your husband ever tell you you were quite a woman, lady?
05:16Quite a woman.
05:20Quite a woman.
05:51Hello, Frank.
05:53Well, of all the stinking, dirty, low-down tricks.
05:58Give you a hand?
06:00I don't need any help from you or anybody else.
06:04Look, Josh, haven't you got anything better to do...
06:06than to sneak up on a man when he's asleep?
06:08I was just practicing.
06:10What kind of practicing will get you hurt?
06:12Hey, what are you doing in this part of the country anyway?
06:15I don't know.
06:17Hey, what are you doing in this part of the country anyway?
06:20I thought you were down on the border.
06:22I'm back.
06:24I can see that. You always weren't uppity, kid.
06:26Always had a lot of respect for my elders.
06:28Yeah, I thought you were pretty smart, too.
06:30Well, if I was smart, I wouldn't be bounty hunting for a living, would I?
06:33Well, as long as you've ruined my rest, I might just as well get on.
06:43Your leg bothering you, Frank?
06:45Not my legs, Sonny.
06:47Here. I mean, if you want me to cook.
06:50Old man.
06:53Who are you calling an old man?
06:55Well, there's only two of us here.
06:57Now, look, Josh, I'm telling you, don't you ever call me an old man again.
07:00Not now or ever.
07:02I can still outdraw you the best day you ever had.
07:04Maybe.
07:06Don't try me.
07:08I'm trying you.
07:16What are you trying to prove?
07:18Your wife asked me to bring you home, Frank.
07:20That woman's trying to ruin my life.
07:22Or save it.
07:24Not content with hounding me to death,
07:26she's got to tell all her troubles to the world.
07:28Well, I'm not the world, Frank.
07:32And I'm telling you this as a friend.
07:34I think you ought to give it up.
07:36And do what?
07:38Enjoy life.
07:40Enjoy life.
07:42Do what?
07:44Enjoy life.
07:46I'm enjoying life right now.
07:51Well, from what I heard,
07:53you almost lost it last time out.
07:55Yeah, some young gun got lucky.
07:57Listen, Frank,
07:59Stacy Lenz isn't just a lucky gun.
08:01I'll get him.
08:03Why?
08:05If Stacy Lenz can walk away from me,
08:07anybody in the world can walk away from me.
08:09Can't you understand that?
08:11Mm-hmm.
08:13Yeah, I do.
08:15But then again, I, uh...
08:19understand this, too.
08:24That Jane ought to mind her own business.
08:27It seems to me this is her business.
08:29Now, look, Frank,
08:31why don't you give all this up?
08:33Forget it. Go on back home.
08:35A man's got to do what he's got to do.
08:37Like sleeping in a deserted barn,
08:39sleeping on the ground half your life.
08:41That's good enough for me
08:43and good enough for you.
08:45Frank, I'm not married.
08:47Jane knew what she was buying.
08:49Okay, but 25 years is enough.
08:51She deserves a little easy living now.
08:53So do you, for that fact.
08:55After I get Stacy Lenz.
08:57Listen, Frank,
08:59with people like you and I,
09:01there's always a Stacy Lenz,
09:03unless you quit in time.
09:05It's not my time yet.
09:07I don't know.
09:09You just run around like a chicken with his head cut off.
09:11Uh-uh.
09:13I know exactly where I'm headed.
09:15Fort Huron.
09:17Lenz has got a woman stashed up there.
09:21Frank, I, uh...
09:23I want to go with you.
09:25Why? What do you think?
09:27No. Listen, Frank...
09:29No!
09:37♪♪♪
09:59Hey, anybody home?
10:01Anybody home?
10:05Well, who are you?
10:07And what do you want?
10:09Hello, Martha.
10:11I don't know you.
10:13Frank Costas.
10:15I still don't know you.
10:17Well, let's get acquainted.
10:19Maybe I don't want to get acquainted.
10:21Why not? I'm a friendly fella.
10:23Listen, who are you barging in here like this?
10:25Are you a lawman?
10:27No, I'm just looking for someone.
10:29Well, if it's my house, maybe you'll let me in on it.
10:31Sure.
10:33Your boyfriend, Stacy Lenz.
10:41Well, what's he done this time?
10:43Oh, nothing new.
10:45I just owe him something.
10:47What?
10:49This.
10:53Well, I owe Stacy Lenz something, too.
10:59Look at me, mister.
11:01Do I look like a woman
11:03that a man might be interested in?
11:05Yeah, sure.
11:07But what's that got to do with Lenz?
11:09I'll tell you what it's got to do with him.
11:11Would you believe that when I came out
11:13of St. Louis, I was the greenest,
11:15prettiest kid you ever saw?
11:21He was the first man that met me
11:23when I stepped off the St. Louis stage.
11:25Help you with your bag,
11:27pretty little lady.
11:29That's what he said.
11:31Oh, he was
11:33peaches and cream.
11:35The perfect gent.
11:37Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.
11:39And then...
11:41Oh, come on, lady, please.
11:43Do you know that there's not a man
11:45within a hundred miles that doesn't know
11:47I'm Stacy's girl?
11:49And how many times has he ridden off
11:51and left me?
11:53And how many times has some real
11:55decent fella started courting me?
11:57Only to quit because Stacy
11:59Lenz decided he'd come back.
12:01And then off he goes riding
12:03again, just like this time.
12:05Where this time, lady?
12:09Do you know the old
12:11laundered mine?
12:13Low Bear Creek? Yeah, that's it.
12:15That's his hideout.
12:17The cabin near the sluice gate.
12:19Gotcha. Thanks.
12:21Here, take this.
12:23Shoot him in the back.
12:25No.
12:27Take him alive and let him
12:29rot in prison the rest of his life
12:31and give him this message.
12:33Tell him I sent you.
12:35Yeah, sure.
12:51You were great, sweetie.
12:53You better get going.
12:55No hurry.
12:57I'll take the shortcut.
12:59When I get back,
13:01remind me to build you something.
13:03What?
13:05A theater.
13:21Come on in.
13:23It's open.
13:31What can I do for you?
13:33Looking for a fella named Lenz.
13:35Who?
13:37Lenz. Stacy
13:39Lenz. Get out of here.
13:41Pretty not, honey.
13:47If you don't get out of here,
13:49I'm gonna scream.
13:51I'll bet you haven't screamed
13:53in about 15 years.
13:57Let's understand each other.
13:59Very important that I find Lenz.
14:01Where is he?
14:03He's not here.
14:07What did you say your name was, Sonny?
14:11Josh.
14:13J-O-S-H.
14:15Stacy doesn't like men
14:17to call me anything
14:19but Miss Towers.
14:21But he isn't here,
14:23so you can call me Martha.
14:33Hello, Martha.
14:37Where you from?
14:39St. Louis.
14:41Where in St. Louis?
14:43Around the levee.
14:45Neither.
14:47Yeah.
14:49I knew it
14:51when you came in the door.
14:53St. Louis men.
14:55Drink?
14:57Yeah.
14:59I've been saving this.
15:01I don't mind if I do.
15:03What'd you say went, huh?
15:05You say it for me.
15:09When?
15:11Lift him, Meyer.
15:13It's 24th Street in St. Louis.
15:15Can I put these down now?
15:17Yeah, but easy.
15:19Remember this lighter.
15:21I can kill you if I have to.
15:23Yes, ma'am.
15:27Stacy, I'll kill you for this.
15:29Don't seem like a whole lot
15:31to get killed for, does it?
15:33Come on, let's go.
15:35Where?
15:37I'm taking you with me, lady.
15:39That way I'm sure Stacy's gonna show up.
15:41All right.
15:43He's at the Longdon Mine.
15:45The cabin near the sluice gate.
15:49Thank you.
16:11Come on.
16:37Blindfellow.
16:39Of course, you know him?
16:41Yeah, he's a bounty hunter named Randall.
16:43Well, you better get to him
16:45before he gets to Stacy.
16:47Don't you worry, I will.
17:09Come on.
17:39Way up, bounty hunter.
17:41Without the gun.
17:45Kick it.
17:49This is getting to be kind of a habit.
17:51Go ahead, get it over with.
17:53No hurry.
17:55I'm just beginning to enjoy you, Coster.
17:57You just keep coming back for more.
17:59You and me, we're getting
18:01so we're going together now.
18:03You and me, we're getting
18:05so we're going together now.
18:07We're going together now.
18:37Stacy send you?
18:39No.
18:41You better talk to me, mister,
18:43because I'm gonna blow you right out of that mud hole.
18:45Stacy's woman told me to put you out for a while.
18:47Where's Stacy?
18:49At the cabin.
18:51Coster?
18:53Stacy's waiting for him.
18:55It's a hot day.
18:57You enjoy your bath.
19:07Come on.
19:21There you are, Coster.
19:23Right there in the dirt where you belong.
19:25No brains, plenty of guts, all right.
19:31Sun a little bit too hot for you, Coster?
19:33What you need is a nice, cool drink of water.
19:57Lance!
20:03No bullets in your gun, Coster?
20:05I'm saving them for you.
20:15Get up, Coster.
20:23You see, Coster, if I'd have shot you before,
20:25I wouldn't have had all this fun.
20:27You know something?
20:29I've had enough fun.
20:31Lance!
20:33Let him go.
20:37You Randall?
20:39Uh-huh.
20:41I, uh,
20:43hear you pretty fast, Lance.
20:47I'm fast.
20:51You taking his part?
20:53Yes, I am.
20:59Let's go.
21:29Make your move.
21:56Hey.
21:59What's the matter with you?
22:01What do you mean, what's the matter with me?
22:03You just killed a man.
22:05That's not what I'm talking about.
22:07All right, Frank.
22:09I was just about scared to death.
22:11What?
22:13Everybody gets scared.
22:17You understand me?
22:21Sure.
22:23Sure.
22:29Josh,
22:31I want to go home.
22:49Come in.
22:55Well, uh, what's going on here?
22:57Tell him, Frank.
22:59Frank!
23:03Signed, sealed, and delivered.
23:05What do you mean?
23:07Oh, a little horse ranch over on the Mendota River
23:09I just rented.
23:11Oh, you rented it, huh?
23:13Yeah.
23:15I didn't mean nothing.
23:17I'm just thinking, why don't you buy it, Frank?
23:19You got the money.
23:21Well, I'm not so sure how long this retirement stuff's gonna last.
23:23You should have retired five years ago.
23:25When are you gonna start minding your own business?
23:29Right now.
23:31I just want to wish you both a lot of luck,
23:33and, uh, Frank, if you can't make it down the stairs with the luggage,
23:35I'll be glad to help you.
23:41Frank!
23:4520 years ago, you wouldn't have missed me.
23:55You wouldn't have missed me.
24:25You wouldn't have missed me.
