Hold it ! That's better. Now, put your guns on the bar.

You heard me.

Slow.

Get down. You want him to see you against the skyline ?

We'll have to go in after him anyway.

We wait.

We can sneak in and surround them.

The way sound travels in that valley, unh-unh.

I've been there.

Somebody here ?

Didn't expect to find anyone in this town.

'Not a lady, that's for sure.'

Hello.

How do you do ?

Don't tell me you live here.

Does it look like it ?

I didn't mean to slander your housekeeping.

Look, you don't have to be frighten of me.

Oh, oh, it's not you.

It's this place.

There's something about it.

What is it ?

Well, I don't know.

It's as though I have been here before

but of course I couldn't have, I ne..

"'Hold it !"

That's better. Now, put your guns on the bar.

You heard me.

Slow.

'You're awful suspicious of strangers, friend.'

Pays to be in this country.

My wife and I got held up just yesterday.

Took everything but our horses.

Sorry to hear that, Mrs...

Watkins.

Pete Watkis.

How come you're passing through here ?

Well, I'm doing the same thing I always do, making my runs.

Name's Chris Colt. Salesman. Colt Patent Firearms Company.

'This town used to be on my route.'

Now, who are you expecting to sell to ? Coyotes ?

At least towns disappear overnight I didn't know.

- I'm sure Mr. Colt is just... - You say you're Colt.

You've got something to prove that ?

My sample case is with my things over here.

Unh-unh. My wife will get it.

- There ought to be another... - Right here, Lowden.

- I told you my name is... - Jack Lowden.

Drop it.

You robbed a bank two days ago at Sorby.

That was just the last one.

Gun salesman ?

It's alright, Ms. Henniger, he doesn't have you covered now.

Go on, my horse is outside.

“Your father is waiting with a posse just over the ridge !

My father ?

Try it, Lowden.

I wouldn't mind it all.

Shooting up teller in the bank is bad enough

'but holding a woman as hostage is even lower.'

Look, Ms. Henniger..

...it's been bad up to now but it's over.

How long Mr. Colt's been down there ?

It's been time enough for something to happen.

Look, I'm here father. We're just guessing.

Kate may still be alive.

We can't wait much longer, Jud. We'll be careful.

Lowden won't.

That's it. Tie it up.

Well, it's your idea. I'd rather keep him quiet my way.

Pretty cute, ain't ya ?

Walking in here just like you was gonna take over.

Thanks, hostage.

What made you think I was ?

He left a note saying he'd kill you if they had him cornered.

I thought it'd hold him up for a while.

We don't want your father catching us, do we ?

So, he didn't tell you ?

Alright, what's this talk about a posse ?

You don't cover your tracks very well.

Why else would I be here ?

As a reward ?

Maybe you decide to try on your own ?

Maybe.

Why don't you fire a shot and find out ?

- I can trust you ? - You know that.

Even now after you know ?

He did it for me.

I don't say it was right but he did it for me.

For us. We're gonna go somewhere and we're gonna start over.

Very romantic. So, is killing the teller.

I won't listen.

You love him that much.

Yes.

When I walked in here, I..

...thought you were scared out of your wits.

I was.

I wanted you to go before..

I didn't want him to think he had to kill you.

Had to ?

How long have you known him ?

Three months.

A little longer.

+

You're in with a nice customer, Ms. Henniger.

He's used women before.

A girl in Crip City hit him up.

Not your kind of a girl.

She's in jail for it now.

He's used hostages too.

He took a man from dryer and shot him down

in cold blood when he was through with him.

Kate, you didn't know.

You can go back.

Can 1 ?

You stick with Lowden and you'll wind up dead.

I'd rather be dead than go back now.

My father doesn't forgive mistakes.

Has your father treated you so badly ?

I am 27 years old and I have never been alone with any man

except Jack.

That's silly. You're a grown woman.

He said I had to be different from the girls out here.

I was a lady like my mother.

She was from the east. She died before I can remember.

She was too fine for this country he used to say.

She was too much of a lady.

Take it easy.

Sometime I wonder if he is my father.

I don't know who I am or what I am !

So, you jumped on Jack Lowden ?

Because I love him.

You don't even believe that yourself.

Where else could I jump, Mr. Colt ?

Mr. Henniger. Mr. Henniger.

Are you out of your mind ?

Now, we've got no choice but to move in.

They're there alright, to the north of us.

The east, west and the south.

You're the one who said to stop here.

The horses were tired. I just thought...

Once you saw this place, you headed forward

like a homing pigeon. Why ?

There was no reason, Jack.

I just had a feeling that we'd be..

Jack !

Good evening, folks. Nice to see the place all lighted up again.

I..

Kitty. I knew you'd come back, Kitty.

Who are you ?

Me ? Tillery is the name. Hosea Tillery.

Everybody in town knows me.

Ask anybody. Ask..

You're not Kitty.

No, she ain't.

You alone ?

Yeah, except for Jeremiah. He's waiting outside.

You folks new in town ?

You're gonna like it. There's something here for you.

Something for everybody.

That's why we call it Something Springs.

How did you get here ?

I bet you'd like to know ?

How ?

My own trail.

Through the rocks out back.

Nobody but Jeremiah and me knows.

Nobody is gonna find my diggings.

You better put that gun away, young fella.

Katie don't like no gun waving around here.

What's this all about ?

Oh, I'm the marshal from Sorby Way. My prisoner.

Yeah. Oh, tsk-tsk. It's too bad.

'He don't look like a mean one.'

Thanks.

Well, now you can see what I mean.

There's always something doing in Something Springs.

Of course it's kind of quiet right now

but it will perk up when Kitty is back.

Who is this Kitty ?

You never heard of Kitty McPhee ?

Why, why she owns this place.

When she is here it's all light and laughing and..

Oh, she's the sweetest, the prettiest

You're kind of stuck on her,

I'll bet you didn't have much luck, did you ?

Everybody's stuck on Kitty.

The lucky ones are the ones she loves back.

Yeah ?

She's a wild one. But whatever she does

she holds her head up and looks you straight in the eye.

And when she's through, she tells a man right out

but kind, and he has to take it.

You know something ?

A man hit her once

'he was dead inside of an hour.'

I wouldn't let nobody hurt Kitty neither.

Then she went away.

Long time now. A year maybe.

Yeah, 25 maybe.

Well, I do what I can to keep things ready.

Every time I come to town..

Look at that. Ain't that a shame ?

I keep some things covered.

Would you like to see, Kitty ?

Boy, what do you know ?

Fine place you picked to hole up in.

Just had a feeling ?

As though you had been here before ?

|-I couldn't have.

'Cause no, no picture could it justice.

Sorry, old man, your Kitty's dead and gone.

Ain't she, Kate ?

You lie, sir.

Fine lady from the east.

Ha ha. That shows how much you know.

Kitty was born up Larrabee way.

Not that she wasn't a fine lady.

Oh, |-I knew she'd be back.

I knew it the minute I heard that she'd left him.

Left who ?

The man she married, rich rancher from up Sorby.

|-I do remember.

She told me once about a place called Something Springs.

And the we heard my father coming up the stairs

and she made me promise not to tell

and it was a game between the two of us.

'Now, Kitty never should have gone.'

'She ain't the kind who can be held.'

They say another one came along and off she went.

She left here so fast she didn't take some of her things.

I gathered them up for her.

Of course she took the, the real stuff with her.

You mean that's junk ?

Not when Kitty wore it.

She'll thank me for saving them.

Well, after all it was the least I could do.

Sheriff, your prisoner's just about loose.

- Oh, no call to do that. - Shut up.

I'm sorry, young fella, but we couldn't have any gunplay.

Not with the lady here.

There's too much cleaning to do tonight.

I guess I'll just bed down and come back tomorrow.

Where do you think you're going ?

To the hotel of course. My usual room.

First floor over here.

A good thing too.

Those stairs are getting to be a caution.

Wait a minute.

Where's that trail you was talking about ?

Ha ha, a lot of people would like to find out

but they never did.

Come on.

You're pretty excitable for a marshal.

Tell him, please.

Alright. You know that rock on the line back of the bakery ?

- Kind of a frog shape ? - Yeah.

Well, there's a slide down the right of it.

Oh, it looks pretty bad. Don't let it fool ya.

A horse can just make it, and after that it's clear.

- Alright. - Goodnight, ma'am.

Don't, Jack. Can't you see he doesn't know ?

Just making sure.

Kate, bring my horses around front.

Well, he told us the trail, didn't he ?

Thanks.

Here put these on.

Saw something moving down there a minute ago.

There.

Can't see it too well.

You think he's coming out ?

If he is, I'll be ready for him.

Nice fit, ain't it ?

He looks kind of like me, don't he, Kaye ?

At least from a distance.

What are you gonna do ?

Mr. Colt, he is riding out towards the ridge.

'They'll think it's me. It will make us some extra time.'

They'll kill him.

They might miss.

Jack, you can't do that. We can get away without that.

We ? You're riding with him.

It's the only way to make it convincing, ain't it ?

Don't worry I'll be back for you one of these days.

Why don't you leave her out of this ?

No danger, they wouldn't shoot at her.

When that posse out there start shooting.

Mr. Colt, haven't you learned you can't argue with Jack ?

Where are you going ?

Getting myself a souvenir.

I trust these belong to me.

Alright, now move.

Promise you'll come back to me. Please.

I told you.

What are you expecting to do ?

That would bounce off on a flea.

Not if you hit the right place.

Nah ! It's worth no more than the rest of that junk.

You see, Kitty, I told you I'd never let anybody hurt you.

He's dead, Kate.

Nobody ever need to know he didn't force you to come.

Whatever she did, she hold her head up

and look you straight in the eye.

Thank you, Mr. Colt. You don't have to lie for me.

I'll talk to the men.

And I'll talk to my father.
