Easy.

They get you bad?

I don't know. I thought I'd taken the guard,

but he got off one shot.

Oh, it's bleeding, Paul, badly.

I'll be all right. You go on, pull the guards away.

Are you sure? This leg is--

Don't argue. Lead the guards away. I can make it.

Here's some clothes for you. Be careful, Paul.

Did you find Alma?

Why don't you forget her? Answer me!

I heard she was in Tiburon City.

Well, go there. Tell her to meet me in Landusky.

Suppose she won't?

Just tell her I stopped in Cheyenne, picked up the boy.

Tell her he'll be there waiting with me.

Now, go on.

♪♪

Tonight, Alma? I don't care how late it is.

No.

Just let me walk you home.

No.

So we can talk, alone.

I told you last night,

if we talk, we talk here,

Please, Alma. There's all these other people around.

That's the idea.

Wes, that army buyer's finally here...

ready to do business.

You got the bill of sale?

It's at the hotel.

I'll meet you at the corral in ten minutes.

Ten minutes?

Buy you a drink?

At this hour?

On the spade jack.

This is one game I usually play alone.

Nice boy, Wes.

I've known him since he was just a little kid.

His brother and I used to work together.

That's a change.What do you mean?

Usually men ask me the story of my life.

Heh.

All right. We left you and his brother working together.

What happened next?

His brother was killed in a stampede.

Oh?

The last thing he said before he died

was to ask me to look out for Wes

from time to time, whenever he needed it.

And you think this is one of the times he needs it?

Well, I thought I'd ask you.

He's been hangin' around your table ever since we got here.

You worried I'm gonna lead him astray?

I didn't say that.

Let's put it another way.

He's got horses to sell.

You think I'm leading him on

so I can get my hands on the money.

It's been known to happen.

Look, mister, I run a faro table.

If he gambles at it, that's his business.

If he doesn't want to, then he can go back to where he came from.

It's as simple as that.

Seems simple enough.

Any more questions?

Yeah.

Why don't you put the black queen

on the red king?

♪♪

All right.

One last and final offer.

If it's not accepted forthwith,

I will be on the train to Chicago forthwith.

2,250.

Look, I'm just a buy for the United States Army,

not the Sultan of Turkey.

Wes, looks like we made a long ride

and waited three days all for no good reason.

2,500!

And that's final!

Well...

Wes, if that sounds like a fair offer to you,

I think you ought to shake hands with Mr. Duke.

Mighty glad you and I could come to terms, Mr. Duke.

So am I.

You never drove a harder bargain,

not even when you brought a string from Shiloh.

The boy's worked hard. I wanted to be sure he got a fair price.

That looks all right.

2,400 in currency, and, uh...

another 100 in gold.

I'll have the troopers pick up the horses in the morning.

Gentlemen.

Yah-hoo-hoo! Man, I thought he was gonna leave us standin'.

Ha ha! He didn't come here to go back empty-handed.

There's something else we gotta talk about now.

You went to a lot of trouble to help me on this,

and, well, it's only fair that--

Look, I had a few days comin' in Shiloh.

I took 'em for a ride to Tiburon

and a couple of days with an old friend,

and that's that.

I would've settled for 2,000.

Next time you'll know better.

What are your plans now?

I don't know. Why?

You might want to be heading back.

I could ride part of the way with you.

Well, if you've got to get back, I'll just say thanks again.

Now, what about first thing in the morning?

You're really tryin' to get me out of here, aren't you?

That's the general idea.

Afraid I'll squander the money on wine, women and song?

Let's just say I'll be happier about it

when you've got it in the bank.

Well, a man's entitled to a little fun.

Tell you what--

you keep this for me,

and I'll keep the 100 in gold to gamble with. Fair enough?

Well, I guess you got a little fling comin'.

Not only that, I'll split my winnings with you.

That's the least I can do.

Well, that's a deal. And good luck.

Up ten.

DEALER: How many?

One.

How many, friend?

Oh. Two.

Fifty.

It's your call, mister.

Call or drop.

What's the bet?Bet 50.

50...and 50 more.

I'm out.

I call.

Queens full.

Well, you've had a good run for your money.

Better than 400.

Get out of here, Roy.

Sure. As soon as you're ready to ride with me.

I'll call the sheriff.

I don't think so.

Paul's out, Allie.

Does he know that I divorced him while he was in jail?

Paul doesn't believe in divorce.

The law does.

Knife clean in the back.

Probably never knew what hit him.

Was he a friend of yours?

I brought him down here.

I was sure he could get more for his horses.

He had money on him last night?

Over $2,000.

I wonder what he was doing in this part of town.

Looking for a blond faro dealer.

Alma Wilson?

She lives right there.

Appears she left in kind of a hurry.

What do you know about her?

Not much.

She came to town about five months ago

and got a job in the saloon.

As far as anybody knew, she ran an honest table

and didn't talk much about herself.

Let's ask Ed Winters. He hired her.

Maybe he knows something about her.

I don't ask for character references,

but somebody like Alma walks in--

I only hoped she wouldn't take too much off the top.

She never said where she came from?

Well, I didn't ask.

I did hear from one of the girls, though,

that she'd been married to some fella that was in prison.

She didn't mention his name?

No. No, the girls just said she made that one remark,

then shut up.

We were all kind of curious.

But she minded her own business pretty good.

Well, that doesn't give us much to go on.

There's thousands of married men in prison.

All we can do is try to pick up her trail.

Thanks, Ed.Mm.

Uh, Sheriff.Yeah?

I heard you was in here lookin' for that faro dealer

and that she skipped town.

There was a fella at the stable last night askin' for her.

Did you know who he was?

Never seen him before.

But he was leadin' an extra horse.

Must've been for her.

This is beginning to make more sense.

Her husband got out of jail,

she set your friend up for him, and--

And all we have to do is find out

who got released from prison recently.

By that time, the trail will be cold.

No, thanks. I'll try to pick it up now.

Wait a minute. Let's stop by the office first.

You come, too.

Not anymore, I'm not. You know that.

What was it the man said?

"When the Lord has joined together--"

Oh, stop it!

Yes, I'm here.

But not as your wife.

Nothing in this world could make me be that again.

I don't see that you got any choice, Allie.

You could force me to stay here.

We both know that.

But I think you've got too much pride

to want to do that.

What do you think I ought to do?

Let me go.

I'll forget that I ever saw you again.

Sounds like you found another man.

No. Just a job...

in a little town where nobody knows me.

Pretty soon I'll have enough saved up to send for Timmy.

It's not much to ask just to be left alone,

to start a new life.

What are you talking about?

Oh, she sent him away... finally.

How did you get a hold of that money?

How do you think?

Anybody ever try it?

Doesn't go through. It's nothin' but badland.

Good.

Get up!Ha ha ha!

ROY: Hyah!

THE VIRGINIAN: Give the horses a breather.

You sure picked a hard way to get rid of Paul.

It's worth it.

I've been wondering why a man would go to all this trouble

when there's an easier way.

I think I got it figured out. Yeah?

You were willing to challenge me back there in the saloon,

but you wouldn't shoot when you had the drop on me.

You're willing to risk your own life,

but you're not tough enough to shoot an unarmed man.

There could be another reason, you know.

What, law and order?

You're not a lawman.

You ever watch a man hang?

It's a tough way to die.

You got all that time to think about it

while you're waitin' for 'em to build a scaffold.

Then that long walk from the jailhouse.

I wouldn't want you to miss a minute of it.

Let's walk 'em a while.

I still think I got you pegged right.

There's only one way to find out.

Make your move.

What's the matter?

I was just wondering.

He wouldn't try to get through there,

especially with a woman along.

You sure of that?

Wouldn't make sense.

What are you waitin' for?

They're just gettin' a bigger head start.

You and Chuck come along with me.

The rest of you stick to the main trail.

We're bound to nail 'em before they get to the river.

I know it.

But I don't figure I'm that much smarter than he is.

Now, come on.

Come on!

♪♪

I've got to rest.

You'll rest later. We'll ride now.

Sure wish you'd taken that bend.

Move!

I think you made a wrong guess.

If I did, the others will catch up to 'em.

But I don't think I did.

I know I didn't.

You'd better go easy on that.

Tomorrow's gonna be a long, dry day.

I don't think I can go another day.

That story you told about ridin' with Hank Boller.

I rode with him, all right.

From Laramie to Medicine Bow.

The sheriff deputized me to bring him back for trial.

He talked all the way about how tough he was.

They had to hold him up to put the noose around his neck.

You keep talkin' about what's gonna happen to me.

What do you think's gonna happen to her when I start talkin'?

I didn't have anything to do with it, and you know it.

Oh, come on, Allie. Why don't you admit it?

You believe me, don't you?

It's not up to me to decide.

That isn't what I asked.

Yes, I think I do.

It'll still be up to the jury.

♪♪

Get some sleep.

You still don't believe me, do you?

You're still not quite sure.

I told you I believe you.

You said that you thought you believed me.

There's a difference.

I also told you

it didn't matter what I believed.

You'll still have to tell your story on the witness stand,

and the jury will have to make up its own mind.

It matters to me what you believe.

Oh, I know I talked real tough

back there in Tiburon.

Maybe I am tough.

You've got to be to survive.

But I wouldn't have done anything like that,

not to anybody, least of all Wes.

He thought he was in love with me.

[ laughs ] Can you imagine that?

Yes, I can imagine that.

He was very young and very naive.

And very nice.

You'd better get some sleep now.

ROY: Too bad, Allie. You were going good.

A couple of more minutes, you'd have had him wrapped up.

[ Roy chuckles ]

Sweet dreams.

♪♪

Still hot. They're not too long gone.

How's your leg holdin' out?

It'll hold out till we catch up to 'em.

Hyah! Come on!

You all right?Yeah.

[ neighing ]

Whoa!

Try it again, I'll drag you the rest of the way.

Every little delay helps, huh?

Don't count on any more. Come on.

I'm sorry.

It happened so suddenly.

Let's go.

Hey, can we stop a minute? I think my cinch got--

Look out!

Get in there. Go on, move! Move!

Looks like the end of the line, cowboy.

Keep 'em nailed down.

I'm gonna try to work my way around.

He tries anything, use this.

♪♪

Looks like you picked the wrong side, Allie.

Maybe it's not too late, though.

I can always tell Paul he forced you to come.

We'd be the only ones who knew different.

You never change, do you, Roy?

Uh-uh.

Not when I want something...bad.

Allie!

Hold it!

♪♪

[ knock on door ]Come in.

I just came from the sheriff's office.

He won't be questioning you anymore.

Everybody's satisfied you had nothing to do with Wesley's murder.

Including you?

I was a long time ago.

I, uh--I also wanted to say good-bye.

I'll be heading back to Shiloh.

I'll miss you.

Have you decided where you'll go

when you pick up your son?

Just as long as it's far enough away

from all the bad memories.

Well, Medicine Bow falls into that category.

Thanks. But I think I'd better go someplace

where nobody knows about me.

Nobody will but me. That doesn't count.

It counts very much. That's the trouble.

I don't know what you're talkin' about, lady.

I never saw you before I walked through that door.

Why is it a girl always meets the wrong men first?

Oh, now--

No, please.

Just this once, I want to be strong enough

to do the right thing.

This is good-bye, I guess.

Good-bye.
