- Gabe?

- Yeah.

- Take Jess' horse with you.

- Yes, sir.

Well, now, that's a lot more like it.

You're as good as new, Jess,

except for your neck.

You won't be needin'

my tender care anymore.

You're free to go, Jess.

Anywhere where the Mexican law

or the Mexican Federales can't find you.

Or any place north,

where the American law

or the American cavalry

can't run you down.

You're a famous man, Jess.

Don't ever forget it.

I won't.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Billy Roy, what the hell

is the matter with you?

I quit! This is as far as I go!

Get going. Keep at it.

No, no, no. We settle here!

No, we'll settle up there!

It's about a mile or so from Rio Seco.

Now you're talkin'!

I get a night on the town.

Keep at it!

Let's get us up there on them rocks!

Lordy, Lordy, can't say

I'm gonna miss that.

All right, let's move out.

Hi, Dan.

Jess.

Jess, I'm so glad to see you.

- Or am I?

- I hoped you'd be.

Not if what I've read is true.

What've you read, Dan?

- Coffee?

- Is it as bad as ever?

- It's worse.

- Good.

As I remember, one of your punishments,

along with your lectures,

was drinkin' your coffee.

Hey, you're wrong, Dan.

It's not worse, it's only as bad.

So be it. Sit down.

Do you mind loosening

that dust catcher around your neck?

I mind.

- Look, do you want to hear what I've read?

- You don't have to read it, Dan.

You barreled around

when I told you not to.

You rode with Vince Hackett

when I told you not to.

You've done everything I told you not to.

But one thing you never did was lie.

Now, is this true?

No.

- That thing on your neck?

- It was put there.

Vince Hackett. Well, so much for that.

You know, I showed one to her.

I didn't quite believe it myself

and I wanted to see if she believed it.

Did she?

Well, you've run a rough course, Jess.

I think she thinks maybe yes.

Well, the important thing is

you didn't believe it.

No, Jess.

The important thing to you isn't me.

That's the way it goes, Dan.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't

mention I was here. To anybody.

It's been over a year.

I wondered how long it would be before

you'd come back for it.

Where is it?

It's right here in front of you.

It's always been here

right where you left it.

Like me.

After a year, I guess

I almost look new to you.

You're back with Vince Hackett,

aren't you?

- Tell me the truth, Jess.

- It's got to do with Vince.

It's got a lot to do with him.

I thought you were going to try.

I really did.

But, now you're in the worst trouble

you've ever been in.

The poster Dan Ramsey showed you?

And you believe it?

Stealing a Mexican nationaI shrine.

Sounds like your idea.

Vince couldn't think it up.
