Colt !

Well, if it ain't the gun peddler.

- Hello, Gore. - Got to be a hero, ain't ya ?

Well, let's say I don't like to see a man catch lead

without an even chance.

Not even you.

That Jed Coy ?

- No. - Must be.

You wouldn't risk getting shot, unless there was bounty in it.

Take it easy, I'll be back.

Oh, go ahead.

- Let me have a look at that. - No.

You keep your dirty hands off it, I don't trust you.

There's a doctor in Wagon Wheel.

Press this over the wound, it'll stop the bleeding.

I'll get a blanket.

Bleeding stopped yet ?

Yeah.

Well, I guess Jed Coy oughta be about

nine miles away from here by now.

Tell me something, bounty hunter.

How does it feel to be the man that's hunted ?

Maybe you tell me.

Put it back. You won't be able to collect a dime.

I'll collect a $1000.

But if I let you go, you'd take Jed Coy, wouldn't ya ?

- Wouldn't ya ? - I'll still take him.

Turn around.

No, thanks. Your best target is a man's back.

Go ahead. Play it that way.

But you've cut in on me for the last time.

I jammed the hammer.

I kinda figured that $1000 would make you lose your manners.

Now, you lie down before you bleed to death.

Take it easy.

Got some mending for you, doc.

Over there, on that table.

Lie back. Easy.

What hit him ?

Riffle slug grazed him.

Oh, wait a minute. Who is he ?

I have to report this to the sheriff.

Sheriff won't thank you. His name's Lou Gore.

The bounty hunter ?

Why did you help him, mister ? You're not a doctor.

Funny, I've been asking myself the same question.

- Mr. Stolz ? - Yeah.

I'm Chris Colt of the Colt Patent Firearms Company.

I've heard a lot about you.

I understand you sell quite a few guns.

Yeah. Glad to meet you, Mr. Colt.

Let's see.

There's no bullet in you, you just lost a little blood.

With a clean shirt, you'll be as well as I am.

Sure I will, doc.

But you know something, I'd have been an awful sick man

if Colt didn't know a man.

- How much do I owe you ? - Two dollars.

Two dollars ?

Doc, I got a surprise for you.

There's ten.

The way I figure it, that scratch is worth to me

about $1000.

Doc.

It is a fine gun. You want to sell this one ?

No, sir. It's a sample.

Unless you have a special customer.

I might.

Man rode this way yesterday ?

About your height, black hair ?

Mr. Colt, I have a slogan for my business.

To sell many guns, ask few questions

Thought I saw your horse out there, law man.

Law man ?

He ain't no gun peddler. That's just a cover-up.

He's nothing but a bird dog for the war department.

Must be a pretty good doctor.

He got that slug out of you awful fast.

It never went in.

But it got you off Coy's trail though.

Good day, mister. And I have another slogan for you.

'It's a wise man who knows who his friends are.'

Lou, Mr. Colt.

Now, don't work up a sweat.

I just brung this gun in here to have it fixed.

Hammer got jammed somehow.

Where's Jed Coy, I wanna talk to him.

You want to talk to him ?

Now, go on. Get out of here. He will kill me.

He won't get the chance.

If I don't talk to Jed Coy, Colt will nail him for sure.

Four times he's gotten men I was after.

Did me outta my bounty.

Good thing he did. You would have killed them all.

I don't want to have nothing to do with you. Nobody does.

Jed Coy will listen to me.

You see, I can get him out of trouble.

Coy said, Coy would want is a shot at you.

A belly shot, so you will die slow.

He can have it. All I want you to do is get word to him

that I'll meet him any place. I won't even carry a gun.

I'll ride into his sights with my hands up

and after two minutes talk, if he still wants that shot

I can't stop him.

That's a pretty good offer.

If he won't take it, I know two men who will.

Don't smart talk me, Stolz.

Now, here's $50.

After I talk to Jed Coy there's another $50 for ya.

If you're still alive. There's an old slogan, you know.

- The birds and the hen... - Yes, I know.

And if that happens, you collect from Coy. Right ?

Millie, get me my gun.

Gore's coming. He just broke into the flat.

- Now, you be careful, Jed... - You shut up.

And keep out of sight.

Keep 'em up there.

Circle so as I can see you ain't got a gun.

Alright. Come in closer.

Feet out of the stirrups.

Get them out.

Arms. Let me feel your sleeve.

You got your two minutes. What do you want ?

Have that 20,000 you grabbed off that army pay wagon ?

You're off to a real bad start, mister.

No, Jed, listen. I can kill that charge against you.

- 'Make you a free man.' - You just get finished.

'Cause whatever you got to say ain't gonna be near good enough.

Like I sent you word, there's an army agent on your trail

he gets what he goes after, I know.

He did me out of the bounty on four men, you'll be next.

That'll be my funeral, bounty hunter.

And you won't be there for the free whiskey.

Jed, Colt never seen ya.

There's no picture of you on the poster.

Yeah, I know.

I only had one picture took in my life, at my wedding.

Jed, I can save your neck.

And wring that Colt's out of joint at the same time.

Behind you.

Mrs. Coy.

'Mrs. Coy !'

Mrs. Coy.

Look at me, man.

Speak up.

Answer.

Can you hear me, Coy ?

Don't you know your own name ?

Must have cracked him on the head pretty hard.

Not that hard.

I think he's faking.

When he decides to talk let me know

and we'll make out the formal charge.

Hiya, Colt. Glad to see you're still here.

Got something to show ya.

Well, never mind that now.

There's a man inside the sheriff would like you

to take a look at.

That so. Who is he ?

Your friend Jed Coy.

Ain't that interesting.

Sheriff, I think you should take a look here first.

Who is he ?

Jed Coy.

That's right, Jed Coy.

I brung him to the nearest sheriff according to law.

Now, I'm making formal request for the bounty.

That's not Jed Coy.

I've got his description here.

- "5'10" about 180 pounds.” - "Black hair, dark eyes."

Look at him. Weigh him, measure him.

I've got that poster too, but better than that

[, I know Jed Coy by sight.

Then quit your jabber and come inside here.

Who is that man on that bunk ?

It seems like I know him.'

Oh, yeah, sure. That's the nester.

What nester ?

That's the man I was talking to yesterday

when you rode up to the cabin shooting.

That was Jed Coy.

I was trailing you and he had a gun on you.

No. That was the nester.

He was trying to find out who I was and what I was doing there.

'I said, I was looking for Jed Coy'

and was wondering if he'd seen him hanging around

he said yes, he was in the next canyon camped out.

So, I took off to beat you to the bounty.

You're lying. You've got the wrong man outside.

Sheriff, do you think I'd kill a man and bring him here ?

The wrong man ? That'd be murder.

I'll find out who Jed Coy is.

The proof's back at the cabin.

After slugging him. Mister, you better prove it.

This is his wife, doc.

Now, ma'am, that is your husband, ain't it ? Jed Coy.

Him ? That's the nester.

You're positive that man is not Jed Coy ?

I oughta know my own husband.

Well, can you tell us the nester's name ?

I dunno. Never saw him before yesterday.

But you were down at the cabin with him.

I only came over from our camp to buy some coffee.

Then I saw you with your gun out likely to kill him

so I screamed.

And then you both started shooting.

Mrs. Coy. Ma'am. I got a hard thing to ask you.

There's a body in the next cell, will you take a look at it ?

Body ? So that's it.

Alright, where is he, sheriff ?

This your husband, ma'am ?

That's Jed.

That positive identification enough for you, sheriff ?

Now, maybe you'll wire Fort Lee, so I can have my bounty.

Yeah, I'll wire 'em.

I'm gonna be at Pete's place.

Well, Colt, you wanna come along with me ? This one's on you.

Sheriff, there's something wrong here.

Mister, it ain't what's wrong, it's who's wrong.

Well, I'm going out to the cabin on their camp

and turn both upside down.

You got no cause to hold this man any longer.

Nope.

I'd like to take him over

to my office for examination.

Go ahead.

Lie down, relax.

I'll be back in a few moments.

Take it slow.

Jed, don't you do that again.

That cowboy is riding out to the cabin, Gore.

- I'm waiting here for my money. - Yeah.

Well, you've got a long wait for any of my money

if Colt gets down there first.

Get around back. We'll cross fire him.

Right.

I can take you dead or alive. It's your decision.

No use getting yourself killed.

Come out with your hands up, Gore.

Who was the man you murdered ?

It was that nester.

He was in the next canyon, he looked like Jed.

'Fitted the description.'

How did Mrs. Coy know, so she'd lie ?

I rode by their cabin and showed her the body

and told her, her husband would go free.

'Please, Colt.'

Get me to a doctor.

I'm burning up inside.

'I never knew it'd be like this.'

I swear.

I'll never..

Never hurt another man.
