- There's a man there. Let's catch him.

- What if it's Ben Wade?

- What good is catching him?

- We'll arrest him.

Till his outfit comes back

and shoots up the town?

- No one's held him yet.

- We'll get him out of town.

We won't catch him standing here.

Let's go.

- Are you coming, Dan?

- Yeah, I'm coming.

What will happen is somebody

will get hurt bad.

- Think you'll ever get back to Bisbee?

- Don't look like it.

- That's what I figured.

- I never stay long anyplace.

Do you care?

Sure, I care.

What can I do? You're on the go,

and I'm stuck.

I ain't complaining.

I got something to remember.

Me too.

Funny, some men you can see

every day for 10 years...

...and you never notice.

Some men you see once and they're

with you the rest of your life.

- What happened?

- Finishing my drink.

There's a fella coming down the road.

Hello, Mr. Evans.

You want something, Mr. Evans?

- Something I can do to help you?

- You drove off my cattle.

- You got them back.

- Yes, it took me a half day.

What's half a day worth?

When I hire out a full day,

I get two dollars.

- Here's two dollars for half a day.

- Then that's what I'll settle for.

- There's two more for you.

- What for?

For your boys. I used their time too.

If you don't mind, you owe me two more

for tiring out my cattle.

Two more for tired cattle.

Is there anything else

you wanna get paid for?

You can give me two dollars extra

for making me nervous.

Don't move.

It's the marshal.

He's got a shotgun on you, Wade.

Put your hands up.

Ben?

- Watch him.

- I'll watch him.

Now what good is all that?

He'll come back with the others...

...and I'll go free.

And you'll get shot.

We'll get you out of town

so fast you won't touch ground.

Over here.

Sit down, there.

Here, take this.

I helped out this far. I'm finished.

- You're what?

- Finished. I come here on business.

- I got to take care of my cattle.

- You're our best shot.

- That's not my job. I'm no deputy.

- You are now. Every man is a deputy.

I was coming to see Mac.

I don't mind helping, but that's all.

I can't spare time.

I'll lose everything.

That won't make any difference.

Mac, you watch him.

- Can I talk to you a minute, Mac?

- What's it about, Dan?

Well, it's a business thing, you know.

Sit down.

Thanks.

The faster we get him out, the safer.

That's right.

We'll outsmart them every step.

We only got two,

three hours head start.

They'll think we'll

turn him in at Fort Huachuca.

Sure, they will.

- Or they'll think we'll go to Benson.

- That's a fact.

Or they'll think we'll take

him over to Contention...

...put him on the 3:10 to Yuma.

- Sure, they're bound to.

Alex, will you let me finish?
