Whew!

Sorry.

He's sorry?

Thought I was dead.

You were.

♪ Johnny Yuma♪

Since I'm still alive you mind if I have a cup of coffee?

How do you want it?

Like him.

Dark and hot.

Don't get peevish, boy.

Peevish?

I come in out of the wet and you throw down on me.

Why?

Bounty.

It must be worth an awful lot to be so jumpy, Mister.

Well, simmer down, I'm no bounty hunter.

But I am.

The name's Hall, Tom Hall.

Well, still I'm not worth a penny to you,

dead or alive.

No.

You don't look much worth of anything to anybody.

That's my misfortune.

Seems misfortune looked somewhat like somebody else.

Don't he, Miss Cassie?

The Yellow Sky Kid.

He's talking about the Yellow Sky Kid.

Seems you bear a resemblance to $4500.

Like you say, you ain't worth a penny.

Who's she?

Yellow Sky Kid's wife.

Just let it drop, Cassie.

Please!

Please.

Now close the bag.

Now how about that coffee?

Thank you.

Go back to the bar, reb.

He means it, boy.

He'll shoot.

Finish your coffee, son.

Believe me, son, I'm regretful about this.

Just put it down on the table, Cassie.

Cassie, please.

Now I'm tucking this gun away, son.

And I'm asking you very politely

to announce any move you intend to make.

It's not that I'm suspicious, it's just...

Well, my hand's kinda trained to movin'

before I think to stop it.

Is that clear?

Yeah.

You kill without thinkin'.

That's well put.

You kill cold and careful.

No thought to bother ya.

No thought at all.

Let's just say I can't afford to let my hand think.

One second's hesitation and I'm dead.

But I think.

And you know what I think?

I think you might be worth something to me after all.

Mr. Hall, I wanna talk to you.

Alone.

I wanna stay where I can watch you all.

Talk to her.

We won't leave.

Maybe you mean that, son, but you'd be a fool

if you didn't.

Sorry, no.

Mr. Hall, I'll go away with you.

Right now.

What?

Anywhere you say.

I'll go with you.

Just leave Yellow Sky be.

No, Cassie, no.

No offense intended, it's just...

I'm kind of an old fashioned man.

Considering my wife and kids.

You got a wife and kids, a man like...

Me?

Yes, yeah.

Even a man like me.

And seeing as how I intend to retire back to my family

after this last killing,

I'm going home with $4500.

Probably you'll never collect it.

You'll be dead at yellow Sky's feet.

Not me, Cassie, I'm too quick at my trade.

I've seen you both at work.

And I think Yellow Sky is faster.

What do you think about that, Mr. Hall?

Now who's afraid?

Well I don't.

And I'm not saying a word to my husband until I do.

Simple, Cassie.

Boy here's built just like your husband.

Same light hair.

Everybody knows Yellow Sky's gun and gun belt.

Put 'em on the boy here's body and...

You and your husband are forever free of men like me.

Now just bring it up slow, son.

And empty it.

Now put it back.

Cassie?

It won't work.

That's right.

Wrong.

A wife's identification, the gun, the gun belt,

the similarity, it's odds on to work.

But his face.

What face?

Oh I don't know.

You thinking of saying yes to a murder?

I'm thinking of my husband being alive.

And us together.

Everyone would think Yellow Sky's dead.

Everyone but you and me.

Don't bother, son, it'd take you years

to get to either one of them.

Now it doesn't matter to me when I shoot.

I'm just trying to be obliging.

Wait up, just in the unlikely case the kid

won't go along.

Well, look at it this way, son.

You ducked in here not worth a cent.

Now you're worth $4500.

In just ten minutes you've come a long way

in this world.

And going right on into the next.

Now you're what I'd call an overnight success.

Oh stop it.

Let him be.

You mean no disrespect for the dead.

That it, Miss?

You've really lost your nerve, haven't you?

Well, think about this.

What if the kid doesn't wanna play along?

He will.

It's not his reputation.

Wasn't mine either.

Cassie, you're not that kind.

What kind?

When I was 16 I thought I had fallen in love

with Robin Hood.

It just wasn't so.

Now it doesn't matter.

I'm his wife.

I'm his kind.

Will the Yellow Sky Kid go along

with this killing scheme?

If I ask him to.

He's tired, Mr. Yuma.

Very tired.

And oh I'm weary of meeting my man one day in 50.

One town in a state.

One short night of love.

Fear.

That's why I'll ask him to do it.

And he will.

I'm sorry.

Hall says I look like him.

Do I look that much like your husband?

Not to me.

Kid doesn't walk that heavy.

He wouldn't be that careless.

You're open early, Mike.

Men get up early, Sheriff.

To tell you the truth, couldn't sleep all night.

How come?

Rumor has it you're Tom Hall.

Rumor has it right.

Waitin' for somebody?

Been sitting in here a nice amount of time.

They're planning a killin', Sheriff.

Who's they, reb?

Hall here and the girl.

Who are they planning to kill?

Me.

That true?

The boy's been drinkin'.

You have a warrant out for this young man?

I don't know of any.

The boy's been drinkin'.

Sounded logical.

Don't play games, boy!

Well, Sheriff?

Boy seems to be truthful enough.

Could be.

What do you expect you could do about it?

Couldn't let you kill a man in this town

with no legal reason.

You couldn't stop me either.

No, I guess not.

I've seen him collect a bounty before.

You don't live in this town, reb.

I figure that cuts down what I owe ya.

Well, he lives here.

So do a lot of other folks.

He's as dead as any of them if you walk outta here.

And that's the truth, Ed.

Listen, Mr. Hall, I'm a reasonable man, but...

Now you can run out of livin' with the rest,

and so can some of those others.

This is my first obligation.

This town.

What's best for the most folks in it.

You have my word, Sheriff,

there'll be no trouble outside of this saloon.

Well, in that case...

You'd throw Mike and me to the wolves?

It's not like that.

Sheriff, there's someone else coming

to this precious town of yours.

Son, there's no reason I have to wait

to pull this trigger.

Now you leave go of the good sheriff's arm.

Sheriff!

And you'd better walk outta here

with your fingers in your ears

or you might not walk out at all.

Let loose, reb.

You'd leave us here just like that.

I don't even know ya.

Well, you know him!

Ed, please!

Crawl outta here.

Why didn't you shoot?

Enjoyed the fight.

Like I said, when you die won't change things.

Cassie?

I'm here, Sky!

Who's with you?

Three men.

One of them's Tom Hall.

Give me the layout, honey.

The bar runs away from the door to your right.

Hall's standing by the wheel of fortune on your left.

He's the only one armed.

The bartender's behind the bar.

And in front of the bar is a boy...

Who looks something like you.

Uh-huh.

You better tell Hall to come on out.

Sky, no.

He doesn't wanna go up against you.

He's got a plan.

It's good, it'll work, Sky.

It'd mean no more night lining for us.

Come on in, kid.

I'd rather work this deal than come up against you.

Cassie?

You can believe him, Sky.

It means he still collects his money.

It means killing me and the bartender in cold blood!

Who's that?

That's the boy your wife mentioned.

Looks something like you.

I think I see.

And?

And I'm coming in.

But with my eyes searching.

Sky, I didn't trick you!

Sky!

I hope you choke spending his bounty!

All I wanted to do was stay alive.

A man known for killing the Yellow Sky Kid

had better be faster than the glory jumpers

coming after him.

I'll not be collecting the bounty on him.

Right in the face.

Sort of ironical.

But what I don't know is...

Why did Hall draw on you, boy?

He knew your gun was empty.

His hand didn't know.

He trained it till it got faster than his mind.

But I wanna thank you for...

Not letting him feed off the kid's body.

Mike said it.

We were just trying to stay alive.

No bounty for that.

You didn't look that much like him.

I wouldn't know.

Never saw his face.
