THIS IS THE STORY OF ONE OF
AMERICA'S GREAT UNSUNG HEROES.

I MEAN, YOU'VE SEEN HIM, BUT
YOU NEVER KNEW WHO HE WAS.

YOU'VE CHEERED FOR
HIM AND CRIED FOR HIM,

WOMEN HAVE WANTED
TO DIE FOR HIM.

BUT DID HE EVER GET ANY
CREDIT? OR THE GIRL? NO.

HE WAS WHAT WE CALL A STUNTMAN.

AND THE REASON I'M TALKIN'
SO FONDLY ABOUT HIM IS...

WELL, BECAUSE IT'S
ME, COLT SEAVERS.

ANYWAY, PICTURE WORK ISN'T
WALL-TO-WALL EMPLOYMENT.

SO MAYBE YOU WONDER HOW A
GUY KEEPS HIS HEAD TOGETHER.

WELL, ONE WAY IS TO
WAIT BY THE PHONE...

AND WAIT... AND WAIT.

THE OTHER IS TO TAKE AN OCCASIONAL
JOB FOR THE COURT SYSTEM...

OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

WHERE A MAN IS CONSIDERED
INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES
A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE...

GET OUT OF JAIL ON
WHAT WE CALL BAIL.

AND THEY RUN LIKE HELL.

THAT'S WHERE I COME IN. I SOMETIMES
PICK UP RENT MONEY TRYIN' TO FIND THEM...

AND BRING THEM BACK TO JUSTICE.

♪♪

♪ EVERY TIME I THINK I'VE PUT
YOU IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR ♪

♪ I REALIZE THAT
OBJECTS ARE CLOSER ♪

♪ THAN THEY APPEAR ♪

♪♪ THANK YOU, HONEY.

CAN I GET YOU ANOTHER
DRINK, MR. MATHEWS?

NO, HONEY, I DON'T THINK SO. I
THINK I'M GONNA GO ON HOME.

CAN YOU TELL MY DRIVER I'M READY
TO GO, PLEASE? UH, SURE THING.

MR. MATHEWS, DID YOU GET A CHANCE
TO LISTEN TO THAT TAPE I GAVE YOU?

YES, I DID, AND IT'S GOOD. I'M GONNA
GIVE IT TO A COMPOSER I KNOW.

YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE
SOMETHING THERE, SWEETHEART.

NOW WOULD YOU TELL DUANE
I'M READY TO LEAVE, PLEASE?

UM, SURE THING.

♪♪ YOUR BOSS WANTS
TO SEE YOU, DUANE.

GOD, DUANE,

- WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
- BUT THE BOSS WANTS ME.

SO HE CAN WAIT FIVE MINUTES.
I'M NOT THROUGH TALKING TO YOU.

OH, DIXIE, YOU KNOW HOW MAD HE
GETS AT ME. I DON'T WANT HIM MAD AT ME.

WHO'S MORE IMPORTANT, ME OR HIM?

WELL, YOU.

CAN I GO NOW?

GO AHEAD, YOU BIG FOOL.

I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.

BYE, DIXIE.

MR. MATHEWS.

YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE TO BE
KEPT WAITING, DUANE. I'M SORRY, SIR.

AH, THAT'S OKAY. BRING THE LIMO
AROUND BACK, WOULD YOU? YES, SIR.

♪♪

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' HERE,
KENNY? YOU OWE ME, ROBERT.

AND I TOLD YOU I DON'T
OWE YOU ANYTHING.

THEN I GUESS I'M GONNA
HAVE TO CALL THE PRESS...

AND HAVE 'EM EXPOSE THE
LEGENDARY ROBERT MATHEWS...

FOR WHAT HE REALLY
IS... A TOTAL FRAUD.

WHAT HAPPENED, BOSS?
HE TRIED TO ROB ME.

LOOKS LIKE HE'S HURT REAL BAD.

HE'S STILL BREATHIN'.
I'LL CALL AN AMBULANCE.

THIS IS GONNA LOOK BAD FOR ME,
DUANE, EVEN IF IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE.

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE WITH
YOU, BOSS. LISTEN TO ME, DUANE.

I CAN'T AFFORD THIS
KIND OF PUBLICITY,

NOT WITH A NEW
ALBUM COMING OUT...

- AND THE MOTION PICTURE PART
I'M UP FOR.
- IF I'D ONLY BEEN HERE.

YOU CAN HELP ME, DUANE. YEAH.
YOU CAN HELP ME GET OUT OF THIS.

- I'LL DO ANYTHING, BOSS.
- OKAY.

WHEN THE POLICE COME,
I WANT YOU TO TELL 'EM

YOU DID IT. TELL 'EM YOU
WERE PROTECTING ME.

HE ATTACKED ME, AND
YOU TOOK CARE OF HIM.

WHAT IF HE TELLS
THE POLICE THE TRUTH?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.
IT'S HIS WORD AGAINST OURS.

BESIDES, I'LL MAKE IT WORTH
HIS WHILE TO SEE IT MY WAY.

- MONEY ALWAYS WORKS.
- I DON'T KNOW.

DIDN'T I TAKE YOU IN
WHEN YOU HAD NOTHIN'?

DIDN'T I GIVE YOU A JOB
AND A PLACE TO LIVE?

DIDN'T I LET YOU DRIVE A BIG, FINE CAR AND
GO TO ALL THOSE FANCY PLACES WITH ME?

I KNOW. AND I SHOULD
HAVE BEEN HERE.

YOU'RE RIGHT, DUANE. LOOK. THIS
GUY'S GONNA WAKE UP WITH A HEADACHE.

THE WORST POSSIBLE
THING THAT COULD HAPPEN...

YOU'LL GET A SUSPENDED
SENTENCE FOR ASSAULT.

- OKAY, BOSS.
- THAT-A-BOY, DUANE.

I WON'T FORGET THIS.

THAT PROBABLY LOOKED LIKE I MADE IT
THROUGH THAT WITHOUT A SCRATCH, DIDN'T IT?

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT
REALLY HAPPENED.

TIRES BLEW, THE FRONT
SUSPENSION COLLAPSED,

BACK AXLE BROKE, I BRUISED MY
RIBS AND THEN I ALMOST DROWNED.

STUNTS MAY LOOK EASY, BUT
THEY'RE VERY, VERY DANGEROUS.

SO I WANT TO IMPRESS
ON YOU HOW STUPID IT IS...

TO TRY A STUNT WITHOUT
FIRST BEING TRAINED TO DO SO.

SO IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON JUMPING
YOUR BICYCLE OVER SOME TRASH CANS OR...

PLANNING TO ROLL YOUR FATHER'S
STATION WAGON, FORGET IT.

YOU MAY JUST END UP DESTROYING
YOUR VEHICLE AND YOURSELF.

YES, SON? YOU GOT A QUESTION?

HOW DO YOU BECOME A STUNTMAN?

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE
TO BE A VERY GOOD ATHLETE.

PARTICIPATING IN HIGH SCHOOL AND
COLLEGE ATHLETIC PROGRAMS HELPS.

OF COURSE, PHYSICAL
ABILITY'S ONLY HALF OF IT.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS.

WE DON'T JUST FLY CARS THROUGH
THE AIR OR JUMP OFF HIGH BUILDINGS...

WITHOUT KNOWING EXACTLY
WHERE WE'RE GONNA LAND.

AND TO KNOW THAT, WE HAVE TO USE
A LITTLE PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS.

THEN YOU HAVE TO FIND A GOOD WORKING
STUNTMAN THAT'S WILLING TO TRAIN YOU.

AND IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN
OVERNIGHT. IT TAKES YEARS.

- ARE YOU TRAINING ANYBODY NOW?
- YES. MY COUSIN.

AND HE'S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF
WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

HE SPENT A LOT OF TIME
IN COLLEGES AND HE'S

BEEN WORKING WITH ME
FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW.

AND HE'S COMING
ALONG REALLY WELL.

BIG JACK SAID THIS
WOULD BE EASY, COLT.

SHE ALWAYS SAYS THAT
WHEN SHE'S IN TROUBLE, KID.

I TAKE IT SINCE THIS
KENNY TIPPET GUY DIED,

DUANE SMITH'S
BOND'S BEEN REVOKED.

THIS MORNING. THE BAIL HAD BEEN
SET FOR A CHARGE OF ASSAULT.

WHEN TIPPET DIED, THE
D.A. RULED IT MURDER TWO.

SO DUANE SKIPPED?
WELL, I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

I TRIED TO CONTACT HIM,
BUT NOBODY'S SEEN HIM.

OH, HE SKIPPED. WHAT'S THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN DUANE SMITH AND MATHEWS?

WELL, UH, DUANE
DRIVES FOR MATHEWS.

WHAT ABOUT TIPPET?
I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

DUANE AND MATHEWS SAY
THEY'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE.

- WHO IS THIS GUY MATHEWS
ANYWAY?
- WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING?

HE'S ONE OF THE HOTTEST
COUNTRY-WESTERN SINGERS AROUND.

OH, I DON'T LISTEN TO
MUCH COUNTRY MUSIC.

YOU NEVER HEARD "SHE'S
A 10 WITH THE LIGHTS OUT"?

NO.

WHAT ABOUT "SHE BROKE MY
HEART, SO I BROKE HER JAW"?

- SORRY. NO.
- YOU CALL YOURSELF EDUCATED?

I GOT A TAPE OF HIS IN THE TRUCK. I'LL
PLAY IT FOR YOU ON THE WAY TO MATHEWS'S.

BY THE WAY, WE'LL NEED A
PICTURE OF THIS DUANE SMITH...

SO WE CAN BOTH KNOW
WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE. OKAY.

NOW YOU WON'T HAVE ANY
PROBLEM WITH THIS CASE, COLT.

JUST HAVE A LOT
OF FUN, YOU BOYS.

TIPTOED IN AT 2:00 A.M. ♪

HOWDY. HOWDY.

MR. MATHEWS IS IN THE RECORDING
STUDIO. HE TOLD ME TO SEND YOU ON IN.

WHERE IS IT? IT'S IN THE BARN.

THANK YOU.

HE'S SURE GOT A LOT OF
PROTECTION, DOESN'T HE?

WELL, BIG STARS ARE GETTING
THREATENED A LOT LATELY.

I GUESS AFTER WHAT HAPPENED
WITH THAT TIPPET FELLA,

MATHEWS THOUGHT HE NEEDED IT.

I CAN'T SAY AS I BLAME HIM.

YOU'RE NOT IN DETROIT ANYMORE.

LET'S PICK IT UP IN FIVE. LET'S
TAKE A BREAK, EVERYBODY.

YOU MUST BE, UH, MR. SEAVERS
AND, UH, MR. MUNSON.

I'M COLT. COLT.

THIS HERE'S HOWIE. HI,
HOWIE. PLEASURE MEETING YA.

WELL, THE PLEASURE'S OURS. I'VE BEEN
A BIG FAN OF YOURS FOR A LONG TIME.

- UH, SO HAS HOWIE.
- BIG FAN.

- I GUESS YOU KNOW
WHY WE'RE HERE.
- WELL, I'M AFRAID I DO,

BUT LET'S GET ONE
THING STRAIGHT.

THE WORST IT COULD
POSSIBLY BE IS SELF-DEFENSE.

DUANE WAS PROTECTING ME.
THAT'S FOR THE COURTS TO DECIDE.

- OUR JOB'S JUST TO BRING HIM
BACK SO HE CAN STAND TRIAL.
- WELL, I KNOW AND I'M SORRY.

IT'S JUST THAT DUANE WOULDN'T
HURT A FLY ON PURPOSE.

HE MAY BE BIG, BUT
HE'S REALLY A SWEET AND

GENTLE MAN, AND I'D
REALLY LIKE TO HELP HIM.

WELL, THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO
HELP US FIND HIM BEFORE THE POLICE DO.

YOU SEE, HIS BEST
SHOT IS TO STAND TRIAL.

I WISHED I HAD MORE INFORMATION
THAT WOULD HELP YOU, BUT I DON'T.

ARE YOU SURE? ANYTHING
MIGHT BE USEFUL.

WELL, THERE IS THIS
GIRL THAT HE SEES.

I THINK HER NAME IS DIXIE JAMES. SHE
WORKS AT ONE OF THESE DRIVE-IN RESTAURANTS.

I BELIEVE IT'S CALLED B.J.'s.

- DIXIE JAMES?
- DIXIE JAMES.

UH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MR. MATHEWS. WE APPRECIATE IT.

I JUST WISHED I COULD
BE OF A LITTLE MORE HELP.

THANKS AGAIN.

♪ DON'T TELL ME
NO I SMELL A LIE ♪

COLT, WHAT DO YOU SAY WE PICK UP A
COUPLE OF BURGERS WHILE WE'RE THERE?

KID, WE'RE ON A JOB.

♪♪

♪♪ WHAT CAN I GET FOR YA?

ARE YOU, UH, DIXIE JAMES? YEAH.

- WE'RE LOOKIN' FOR DUANE SMITH.
- DUANE? YOU WORK
FOR THE POLICE?

NO, WE WORK FOR THE BONDING
COMPANY THAT PUT UP HIS BOND.

A BOUNTY HUNTER, HUH? WANTED
DEAD OR ALIVE AND ALL THAT?

WELL, IT DOESN'T EXACTLY
WORK LIKE THAT ANYMORE.

WELL, IF YOU CAME TO ME FOR INFORMATION,
YOU'RE LOOKIN' IN THE WRONG PLACE.

DUANE IS THE SWEETEST MAN I KNOW,
AND HE WOULDN'T HURT ANYBODY.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MR. TIPPET
MUST HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT.

LOOK, I DON'T PRETEND
TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED

TO DUANE TO GET HIM
INTO ALL THIS TROUBLE,

BUT I DO KNOW THAT HE JUMPED
BAIL, AND I'M GONNA BRING HIM BACK...

- WHETHER YOU HELP ME OR NOT.
- OH, YOU ARE, ARE YOU?

- YES.
- DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND...

THAT HIS RUNNING LIKE THIS MAKES
HIM LOOK GUILTY EVEN IF HE ISN'T?

DIXIE, PLEASE HELP US FIND HIM.
IT'S REALLY THE BEST THING FOR HIM.

WELL, I GUESS YOU
GUYS ARE ON THE SQUARE.

I GUESS STANDING TRIAL IS
BETTER THAN RUNNING ALL HIS LIFE.

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, BUT HE MIGHT
BE HIDIN' OUT IN A HOUSE DEEP IN THE HILLS.

I HAVE TO DRAW YOU A MAP. HEY,
THAT'S GREAT. YOU WON'T REGRET THIS.

- NICE ROOM, HUH, DUANE?
- HOW LONG
DO I HAVE TO STAY HERE?

AH, LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO
GET THIS MESS STRAIGHTENED OUT.

I HAVE TO STAY
HERE ALL BY MYSELF?

NAH. I'LL COME BY AND VISIT YOU.

YOU WON'T BE HERE MORE THAN
A DAY OR TWO. WATCH TELEVISION.

THAT'S ALL YOU EVER DO AT
HOME ANYWAY. CAN I CALL DIXIE?

NO. YOU CAN'T CALL ANYBODY.

NO ONE'S SUPPOSED TO KNOW
YOU'RE HERE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

YES, SIR, I UNDERSTAND.
THAT-A-BOY.

I'LL COME BY AND SEE YOU TONIGHT.
LET ME TURN THIS THING ON FOR YOU.

BYE, MR. MATHEWS.

WELL, SHE SAID IT
WAS PRETTY FAR OUT.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE IT HERE.

STAY HERE IN CASE WE GET
SOME UNEXPECTED COMPANY, HUH?

SHE DIDN'T SAY
ANYTHING ABOUT A DOG.

WELL, ANIMALS LOVE ME.

MUST BE A BIG DOG.

OH, GEEZ.

NICE KITTY.

HEY! GET AWAY FROM MY HAT!

I CAN'T YELL FOR
HELP. I'M A STUNTMAN.

WELL, LET'S SEE
IF HE LIKES THIS.

KITTY. KITTY. HERE, KITTY.

KITTY, KITTY. GET
IT, GET IT. GET IT!

CAN I HELP YOU?

UH, YEAH. MY NAME'S
HOWIE MUNSON.

MY PARTNER AND I WERE
TRYING TO FOLLOW THIS MAP.

PARTNER? WHERE IS HE?

WELL, HE SORT OF WENT
INSIDE LOOKIN' FOR A GUY.

- DIDN'T HE SEE THE CAT?
- A KITTY CAT?

NO, A 350-POUND CAT.
WE'D BETTER HURRY.

HERE, KITTY. HERE, KITTY.

HE'LL HAVE ME DOWN TO MY SHORTS.

OH!

- WHAT'D YOU DO TO HIM, YOU MANGY...
- KID, I'M UP HERE.

COLT! I THOUGHT THAT WAS
ALL THAT WAS LEFT OF YOU.

- WELL, IT NEARLY WAS.
- HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

DON'T GO OUT THERE!
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

OKAY, YOU CAN COME DOWN NOW.

I SURE HOPE HE DIDN'T SCARE YOU.

OH, NO, NO. I CLIMB
TREES FOR A HOBBY.

WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING AROUND
HERE? WE'RE LOOKIN' FOR DUANE SMITH.

WELL, UNLESS HE LIVED IN A
TENT, HE'S NEVER LIVED HERE.

THERE'S NO HOUSES
ON THIS END OF THE

PROPERTY, AND NO
STRANGERS HAVE BEEN AROUND.

- ARE YOU SURE?
- I SHOULD BE. I'M THE CARETAKER.

CARETAKER? AS IN "LIVE UP HERE
ALL BY YOURSELF" CARETAKER?

SURE. I GO TO TOWN A
LOT AND I HAVE MY BABY.

IF YOU HAVE LIONS IN
HERE, WHY DO YOU HAVE

A BEWARE OF DOG SIGN
ON THE GATE OUT THERE?

FIND A HARDWARE STORE THAT
DOES HAVE A BEWARE OF LION SIGN.

SHE HAS A POINT, COLT.

♪♪

THIS IS DIXIE.

HI, SWEETHEART. IT'S YOUR DUANE.

DUANE. WHERE ARE YOU?

WELL, I KNOW BUT I CAN'T TELL
YOU. WHY NOT? I WANNA SEE YOU.

I JUST CAN'T.

DUANE, DID YOU
REALLY KILL THAT MAN?

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

IT'S MATHEWS, ISN'T IT?

HE TOLD YOU NOT TO
SAY ANYTHING, RIGHT?

DIXIE, I CAN'T TELL YOU.

IF YOU CAN'T TELL ME
ANYTHING, WHY'D YOU CALL?

'CAUSE I MISS YOU.

I MISS YOU TOO, DUANE.

PLEASE TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE.

NO, I CAN'T. I PROMISED.

I GOTTA GO, DIXIE. BYE.

DUANE... DON'T HANG UP. DUANE!

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? OH, JUST A
LITTLE WILD GOOSE CHASE IN THE HILLS.

AND THE GOOSE TURNED
OUT TO BE A LION. A LION?

YEAH, AND IT WAS FEEDING TIME.

WHAT'S SO FUNNY? I
DON'T THINK IT'S SO FUNNY.

WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE YOU DOING
IN A PLACE WHERE THEY KEEP LIONS?

DUANE'S GIRLFRIEND, DIXIE
JAMES, SENT US OUT THERE.

I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING.

LITTLE DIXIE JAMES ISN'T GONNA THINK IT'S
TOO FUNNY WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HER.

COME ON, KID.

COLT, CALM DOWN A LITTLE.

DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN
WHEN I WAS ALMOST EATEN BY A LION.

HEY!

WHERE'S DIXIE JAMES? WHO?

DIXIE JAMES. SHE'S NOT HERE.

I-I MEAN, SHE'S
GONE. GONE WHERE?

I-I DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE.

I-I'VE... I'VE ONLY BEEN
MANAGING HERE FOR A WEEK.

THERE WON'T BE ANY TROUBLE.
YOU JUST TELL US WHERE SHE IS.

OKAY, OKAY. I'LL... I'LL TELL
YOU. SHE LEFT WORK EARLY...

HEY! I WANNA THANK YOU FOR
THAT TIP. THAT WAS REAL HELPFUL.

TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!
LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU.

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO
BOTHER YOU. BUT THAT

LION COULD'VE HURT ME
REAL BAD THIS MORNING.

LOOK, I'M SORRY. BUT
WHAT'D YOU EXPECT FROM ME?

YOU'RE TRYING TO
CATCH THE MAN I LOVE.

COLT, YOU GOTTA SEE THIS. NOT
NOW, KID. WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE TALK.

LOOK, DIXIE, I CAN UNDERSTAND
YOUR WANTING TO PROTECT HIM,

BUT YOU'LL MAKE THINGS EASIER
FOR HIM IF YOU'LL JUST HELP ME.

I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH, MR...

♪♪ SEAVERS. COLT SEAVERS.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE
DUANE IS. I SWEAR IT.

EVEN IF I DID, I STILL
WOULDN'T TELL YOU...

UNTIL I FELT CERTAIN THAT GOING WITH
YOU WOULD BE THE BEST THING FOR DUANE.

WHAT, YOU MAKE THOSE
KIND OF DECISIONS FOR HIM?

WELL, IF YOU'D EVER
MET HIM, YOU'D KNOW WHY.

HE'S WHAT SOME PEOPLE
CALL SIMPLEMINDED.

HOW SIMPLE?

SIMPLE ENOUGH FOR A LOT OF INSENSITIVE
PEOPLE TO MAKE JOKES ABOUT HIM.

HE'S BEEN TEASED ALL HIS LIFE.

YOU MIND ME ASKING
WHAT YOU SEE IN HIM?

MR. SEAVERS,

I'VE HAD MY SHARE OF
BETTER-LOOKING MEN...

AND ONES THAT THOUGHT THAT
THEY WAS A WHOLE LOT SMARTER.

WELL, NOT ONE OF THEM TREATED ME WITH
THE RESPECT OR TENDERNESS THAT DUANE DOES.

WHEN I'M WITH
DUANE, I FEEL LOVED.

WELL, YOU CAN'T HAVE A
BETTER REASON THAN THAT.

YEAH.

AND THAT'S ALSO THE REASON I
KNOW DUANE DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY.

IT JUST AIN'T IN HIM.

THAT'S NOT FOR EITHER OF US
TO SAY. SOMEBODY KILLED TIPPET.

AND ONLY MATHEWS
AND DUANE WERE THERE.

NOW, DUANE CONFESSED. I'M SURE YOU
CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE WOULD THINK HE DID IT.

♪♪

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY. I
DON'T CARE WHAT DUANE SAYS.

I KNOW HE DIDN'T DO IT.

COLT, WE GOTTA
GET OUTTA HERE FAST!

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? YOU
LOOK LIKE YOU JUST STOLE SOMETHING.

I DID. LOOK AT THIS. BUT NOT NOW.
YOU CAN LOOK AT IT LATER. COME ON.

♪♪

ALL RIGHT, KID. THIS
BETTER BE GOOD. IT IS.

♪♪ LOOK. THAT'S MATHEWS.

- THAT'S KENNY TIPPET.
- YEAH. SO WHAT?

SO MATHEWS TOLD THE POLICE THAT HE'D
NEVER SEEN TIPPET BEFORE THAT NIGHT.

GOOD WORK, KID.

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
IT MEANS, BUT GOOD WORK.

WELL, DON'T YOU SEE, COLT? IF
MATHEWS LIED ABOUT NOT KNOWING TIPPET,

MAYBE HE LIED ABOUT NOT
KNOWING WHERE DUANE IS.

I MEAN, WHAT IF HE'S PROTECTING
HIM? WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?

HE SAID IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. HIS TESTIMONY
CAN CLEAR DUANE OF THE MURDER CHARGE.

WELL, WHAT IF THERE'S MORE TO THIS
CASE THAN ANYBODY KNOWS ABOUT?

LIKE WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW YET. BUT
WHAT IF THERE IS MORE?

WELL, WE'LL SHOW THIS TO
MATHEWS IN THE MORNING.

NOW YOU'RE TALKIN', COLT.

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE
GUY THAT TRIED TO ROB ME?

I MEAN, THIS PICTURE WASN'T
EXACTLY TAKEN YESTERDAY.

OH, IT'S HIM, ALL RIGHT. I DON'T
REMEMBER EVER SEEIN' HIM BEFORE.

MR. SEAVERS, I MUST BE IN A
THOUSAND PICTURES LIKE THIS A YEAR.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER
EVERY FAN THAT I TAKE A PICTURE WITH?

ARE YOU SAYING KENNY
TIPPET WAS JUST A FAN?

ABSOLUTELY. AND I CAN'T SAY THAT I
APPRECIATE YOU TWO THINKIN' OTHERWISE.

I MEAN, WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE?

I THOUGHT YOU TWO WERE SUPPOSED
TO BRING DUANE IN TO STAND TRIAL.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE TRYIN' TO SOLVE
A CASE THAT'S ALREADY BEEN SOLVED.

IF IT REALLY WAS SOLVED.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

I SUPPOSE THAT DEPENDS ON WHETHER
YOU'VE BEEN TELLING US THE TRUTH OR NOT.

I WAS AFRAID YOU WAS GONNA
SAY SOMETHIN' LIKE THAT.

I THINK YOU TWO HAVE JUST
WORN OUT YOUR WELCOME.

YEAH, WELL, WE WERE
GOIN' ANYWAY. GOOD.

AS MUCH AS IT HURTS TO SAY THIS,
I'D LIKE IT IF YOU NEVER CAME BACK.

OH, WE WON'T BE BACK...

UNLESS WE FIND OUT THAT
YOU REALLY ARE LYING TO US.

LET'S GO, KID.

- SAM.
- YEAH, BOSS?

HOW WOULD YOU AND GREG LIKE
TO PICK UP AN EXTRA FIVE GRAND?

IF I'VE EVER SEEN A MAN THAT WAS LYIN'
THROUGH HIS TEETH, IT WAS MATHEWS.

HE KNEW TIPPET. I BET HE KNOWS
WHERE DUANE IS RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT.

MAYBE. BUT HE WAS
RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING.

IT'S NOT OUR JOB TO SOLVE THE
MURDER. IT'S OUR JOB TO FIND DUANE.

YEAH, BUT IT SURE
MAKES YOU WONDER.

HERE THEY COME.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT? JUST
BECAUSE HE DRIVES A CATTLE TRUCK,

- HE THINKS HE OWNS THE ROAD.
- BOY, THAT SMELLS AWFUL.

WHEW! SURE AIN'T AQUA VELVET.

ROLL UP YOUR WINDOW, WILL YOU?

LET'S SEE IF I CAN GET
AROUND THIS CODGER.

HEY! WHAT'S HE DOIN'?

THAT GUY'S NUTS.

HOLD ON, KID.

CRAZY OLD FARMER. HE'S
TRYIN' TO RUN US OFF THE ROAD.

HEY!

HEY! HOLD ON, KID!

YOU OKAY, COLT? YEAH.
HOW ABOUT YOU, KID?

YEAH. I THOUGHT WE
WERE DEAD FOR SURE.

THAT'S A PRETTY CLOSE CALL.

CLOSE? I SAW ALL MY COLLEGE
COURSES FLASH BEFORE MY EYES.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
THIS PLACE ANYWAY, COLT?

EVERYBODY THAT LOVES
MACHINES KNOWS ABOUT SKIP.

HE'S THE BEST MECHANIC AROUND.

THE ONLY THING IS, HE LIVES SO
FAR BACK UP HERE IN THE HILLS.

YEAH, WELL, THIS TIME THE
LOCATION CAME IN HANDY.

YOU KNOW, I'M BEGINNING TO
BELIEVE YOUR THEORY ABOUT MATHEWS.

OUR LITTLE TRIP INTO THAT
RAVINE WASN'T ANY ACCIDENT.

WELL, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO
ABOUT IT? WELL, FIRST THINGS FIRST.

CALL JODY. SEE IF SHE CAN
BRING US ANOTHER SET OF WHEELS.

RIGHT AWAY.

WHAT'D YOU DO, ENTER THIS
TRUCK IN A DEMOLITION DERBY?

NO. TOOK A SHORT
TRIP OVER A STEEP CLIFF.

YOU STUNT GUYS ARE CRAZY,
BUT YOU KEEP ME IN BUSINESS.

HOW MUCH TIME IN THE SHOP, SKIP?

WELL, YOU REALLY DID A NUMBER
ON THE FRONT SUSPENSION,

AND THE RADIATOR'S TOTALLY SHOT.

AND YOU'RE GONNA NEED SOME
WORK ON THE STEERING COLUMN,

NOT TO MENTION
ALL THE BODY WORK.

I'D SAY, UH, DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

BUT YOU GOT PARTS ON THIS THING
YOU JUST CAN'T BUY OVER THE COUNTER.

YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW. I
GET THE PICTURE. UH...

I'LL PUT EVERY
AVAILABLE MAN ON HER.

OF COURSE, THERE'S ONLY ME.

WHAT ABOUT JODY? SHE COMING? NAH,
SHE'S NOT HOME, AND SHE'S NOT AT OUR PLACE.

AND I CALLED BIG JACK,
BUT SHE'S IN COURT.

OH, GREAT. WHAT AM I GONNA
DO FOR TRANSPORTATION?

HEY! HEY, YOU CAN USE MY TRUCK!

NO, NO, NO, SKIP. HEY, COME
ON, COLT. WE'RE FRIENDS!

YOU NEED WHEELS, YOU GOT 'EM.

SHE'S RIGHT OVER HERE.

SHE'S A REAL BEAUTY, AIN'T SHE?

I BUILT HER MYSELF...

WITH STUFF I FOUND
AROUND THE JUNKYARD.

YEAH, SKIP. SHE'S A REAL
RED-BLOODED PIECE OF...

AMERICANA.

FOR SURE. AND SHE'S
SOLID AS A ROCK.

I LIVED IN HER FOR THREE
YEARS AFTER THE WIFE LEFT.

THIS BABY MAY NOT HAVE ALL
THE POWER THAT YOU'RE USED TO,

BUT SHE'S GOT PERSONALITY,

NOT TO MENTION RUNNING
WATER IN THE BACK.

GEE, SKIP, UH... LOOK,

I REALLY APPRECIATE
YOUR OFFER, BUT...

HEY, UH, IF SHE'S NOT
GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU...

OH, SKIP, IT'S
NOTHING LIKE THAT.

HEY, I UNDERSTAND.

I MEAN, YOU'RE A BIG
HOLLYWOOD STUNTMAN AND ALL.

YOU KNOW, SKIP'S A HELL OF A
MECHANIC, BUT A TERRIBLE CARPENTER.

COLT, LOOK. THE GLOVE
COMPARTMENT'S A REFRIGERATOR.

YOU WANT A SODA? NO.

LET ME SEE THAT
PHOTOGRAPH AGAIN. SURE.

YOU KNOW, THE MORE I THINK
ABOUT IT, THE MORE I BELIEVE THAT...

THAT MATHEWS WAS LYING
TO US ABOUT THIS PICTURE.

- WHAT MADE YOU
CHANGE YOUR MIND?
- NEARLY GETTING KILLED.

YEAH, WELL, WE BOTH KNOW MATHEWS WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR US GOING OFF THE ROAD.

- BUT HOW ARE WE GONNA PROVE IT?
- WELL, MAYBE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER,

MICHAELS, KNOWS SOMETHING.

HE TOOK THE PICTURE.

HE TOOK IT A LONG TIME
AGO. HOW WE GONNA FIND HIM?

WE GO LOOKIN' IN THE FIRST PLACE
EVERY BOUNTY HUNTER LOOKS.

POLICE RECORDS?
THE YELLOW PAGES.

HELLO? HI, DUANE.

MR. MATHEWS.

HOW MUCH LONGER AM I
GONNA HAVE TO STAY HERE?

THAT'S WHAT I'M CALLING ABOUT.
WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LITTLE TRIP.

BACK TO THE RANCH?
WELL, NOT EXACTLY.

YOU SEE, THEY'RE STILL MAKING A BIG
THING OVER THIS KENNY TIPPET BUSINESS.

I THINK YOU'D BE A LOT
SAFER IF I GOT YOU OUT

OF THE COUNTRY TILL THE
WHOLE THING BLOWS OVER.

OUT OF THE COUNTRY?

DON'T WORRY. I'VE
ARRANGED EVERYTHING.

IT'LL BE LIKE A VACATION. WE'LL
BE FLYING OUT IN MY PRIVATE PLANE.

CAN DIXIE COME WITH ME?

NOT RIGHT AWAY, BUT I'LL HAVE
HER OUT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

CAN I CALL HER AND TELL HER?

NO, NO. I'LL CALL HER. I'LL
TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.

BUT I... HAVE I EVER MADE A PROMISE
TO YOU AND THEN NOT DELIVER?

NO, SIR.

TRUST ME. EVERYTHING
IS GONNA BE GREAT.

PRISCILLA, COME ON. A REAL
SASSY COWGIRL LOOK THERE.

♪♪ VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD.
NOW LOOK STRAIGHT AT THE CAMERA.

THAT'S IT. A REAL KNOWING SMILE.

EXCELLENT. NOW YOU'RE
GONNA DO A BIG SMILE.

ATTAGIRL. VERY GOOD. VERY
GOOD. ONE MORE THIS WAY.

NOW THAT'S WHAT I
CALL A GOOD JOB. YEAH.

SAY, WHY DON'T
YOU CALL JODY AGAIN,

SEE IF YOU CAN GET US A
DIFFERENT SET OF WHEELS.

VERY GOOD. VERY GOOD, LADIES. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD DAY'S WORK.

DON'T FORGET... TOMORROW
WE'RE SHOOTING AT MY HOUSE.

THANKS, LADIES.
NOW, MR. SEAVERS.

PHONE, PHONE. YEAH.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

YES, SIR. YOU TOOK
THIS PHOTOGRAPH.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU
COULD RECOGNIZE THESE GUYS.

- OH, SURE. BUT IT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS.
- I REALIZE THAT. UH...

I WAS REALLY JUST GETTING
STARTED AS A PHOTOGRAPHER THEN.

I USED TO TAKE A LOT OF PUBLICITY PICTURES
FOR THE BANDS ON THE RODEO CIRCUIT.

UH, THESE TWO FELLOWS
HERE, MATHEWS AND TIPPET...

DID THEY, UH, KNOW
EACH OTHER SOCIALLY?

YEAH. THEY BOTH
SANG ON THE CIRCUIT.

THEY WERE BOTH HOPING TO HIT IT
BIG IN THE COUNTRY-WESTERN SCENE.

- MATHEWS DID. TIPPET DIDN'T.
- TIPPET DIDN'T HAVE
WHAT IT TOOK, HUH?

- HE HAD WHAT IT TOOK
UNTIL THE ACCIDENT.
- WHAT ACCIDENT?

TIPPET WAS HORSING AROUND ON A
BRAHMA BULL ONE DAY AND HE GOT THROWN.

HE LANDED WITH HIS THROAT
ON A RAILING. HE RECOVERED.

HE COULD TALK, BUT
SINGING WAS OUT.

- WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT?
- I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.

- I ONLY KNOW WHAT I HEARD.
- WHICH WAS WHAT?

I USED TO HANG OUT WITH ONE OF
THE MUSICIANS IN MATHEWS'S BAND.

HE WAS JUST AN OLD GUITAR PLAYER
THAT WAS THERE AT THE BEGINNING.

HE TOLD ME HE THOUGHT TIPPET WAS WRITING
SONGS FOR MATHEWS. MAYBE SOME OF THE HITS.

WHY DIDN'T HE EVER
GET ANY CREDIT?

MAYBE YOU OUGHTA ASK
MATHEWS ABOUT THAT.

WOULD YOU EXCUSE
ME FOR A MINUTE? SURE.

THANK YOU.

DID YOU GET AHOLD OF
JODY? I-I COULDN'T FIND HER.

WELL, I GUESS SKIP'S TRUCK WILL
HAVE TO GET US WHERE WE'RE GONNA GO.

WHERE, BACK UP TO MATHEWS'S?
NO, BACK TO DIXIE JAMES.

WITH THIS NEW EVIDENCE,
MAYBE WE CAN CONVINCE HER...

THAT DUANE'S IN REAL TROUBLE,
AND WE'RE THE ONLY HOPE HE'S GOT.

COME ON. LET'S GO.

HELLO. HI, HONEY.

DUANE. WHAT'S WRONG?
YOU DON'T SOUND GOOD.

- I'M GOING ON A TRIP.
- A TRIP? WHERE?

OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

WHAT? ROBERT'S
TAKING YOU, ISN'T HE?

YEAH. HE'S DOING IT
FOR MY OWN GOOD.

BULL, DUANE! HE'S DOING
IT FOR HIS OWN GOOD.

HE KILLED KENNY
TIPPET, DIDN'T HE?

DIXIE.

I JUST CALLED TO
TELL YOU I LOVE YOU.

AND ROBERT WILL BE BRINGING
YOU TO ME IN A FEW WEEKS.

DUANE, LISTEN TO ME.
ROBERT CAN'T BE TRUSTED.

DON'T GO ANYWHERE WITH HIM.

LOOK, TELL ME WHERE YOU
ARE, AND I'LL COME AND GET YOU.

I CAN'T. ROBERT WILL BE MAD
AT ME IF I DON'T GO WITH HIM.

- I'LL BE MAD AT YOU IF YOU DO.
- OH, DIXIE.

DON'T BE MAD AT ME.

I GOTTA GO.

HONEY, EVERYTHING WILL BE
FINE WHEN WE'RE IN MEXICO.

LOOK, DUANE, YOU'RE RIGHT.

ROBERT WILL HELP YOU.

ALL I WANT TO DO IS COME OVER
AND KISS YOU GOOD-BYE. THAT'S ALL.

BUT, UH... OH, HONEY,
COME ON, PLEASE.

I JUST HAVE TO. JUST ONE
GREAT BIG KISS GOOD-BYE?

WELL, IF YOU GET
HERE BEFORE ROBERT.

OKAY.

OKAY, DARLING. THANK YOU. BYE.

LOOK. DON'T BOTHER
ME. I'M IN A HURRY.

- YEAH, WELL, SO ARE WE.
- WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR TRUCK?

- MATHEWS PUSHED IT
OVER A CLIFF.
- YEAH, WITH US IN IT.

AND GOD KNOWS WHAT
HE'LL DO TO DUANE.

LISTEN. WE'RE ON YOUR SIDE NOW. WE
DON'T THINK DUANE KILLED KENNY EITHER.

YOU PROMISE IF I
TAKE YOU TO DUANE...

THAT HE'LL GET A FAIR TRIAL, AND
YOU'LL HELP HIM CLEAR HIMSELF?

- YOU GOT OUR WORD.
- OKAY. HE JUST CALLED. I KNOW WHERE HE IS.

BUT WE GOTTA HURRY. ROBERT'S
TAKING HIM OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

LET'S GO.

CAN'T THIS THING GO ANY FASTER?

I SURE WISH WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN
AHOLD OF JODY. THAT DOESN'T MATTER NOW.

MOTEL SHOULD BE JUST
DOWN A FEW BLOCKS.

DUANE, YOU SURE YOU GOT ALL
YOUR THINGS? I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH.

I'LL GET YOU A NEW WARDROBE IN MEXICO.
SURE IS PRETTY THERE THIS TIME OF YEAR.

YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT. WHAT
ARE YOU LOOKIN' FOR? HUH? NOTHIN'.

I'LL CHECK AND SEE
WHAT ROOM HE'S IN.

THAT'S DIXIE WITH THOSE TWO BOUNTY
HUNTERS. DUANE, YOU CALLED HER.

I'M SORRY, MR. MATHEWS. THAT'S THE TWO
GUYS THAT ARE TRYING TO PUT YOU IN JAIL!

SHE DOUBLE-CROSSED YOU!
WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE.

AH, THEY'RE SPLITTING.

COLT, WE'LL NEVER
CATCH HIM IN THIS.

LOOK OUT, COLT!

WELL, AT LEAST HE
HAD A SPARE. YEAH.

HURRY UP, WILL YA? ROBERT WILL
HAVE DUANE OUT OF THE COUNTRY...

BEFORE WE EVEN GET
THERE. WHERE? WE LOST HIM.

WELL, ROBERT HAS HIS OWN PLANE. AND IF
HE'S TAKING DUANE OUT OF THE COUNTRY,

HE'S PROBABLY TAKING HIM TO HIS
PRIVATE LANDING STRIP. WHERE'S THAT?

HE BOUGHT A PIECE OF AN OLD MOVIE
RANCH, TURNED IT INTO HIS OWN AIRPORT.

THE OLD RKO RANCH. YEAH.

I KNOW WHERE THAT IS. I DID A COUPLE
OF WESTERNS THERE. LET'S GIVE IT A SHOT.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE
DIXIE'D DO THAT.

I NEVER TRUSTED HER. SHE
DOESN'T CARE FOR YOU LIKE I DO.

YOU NEED TO DEPEND ON ME, DUANE.

I DO, ROBERT. YOU'RE MY FRIEND.

COME ON. LET'S GO INSIDE THE
SHED TILL THE PLANE COMES IN.

WHAT DO WE HAVE TO WAIT IN HERE
FOR? I CAN'T TAKE ANY CHANCES...

ON SOMEONE SEEING YOU UNTIL I HAVE
YOU SAFE AND SOUND DOWN IN MEXICO.

WHAT'S IT GONNA BE
LIKE DOWN IN MEXICO?

WELL, YOU'RE NOT GONNA
MISS DIXIE, THAT'S FOR SURE.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MORE SEÑORITAS
THAN YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HANDLE.

WHERE WE GONNA LIVE?
RIGHT ON THE BEACH.

I'LL GET YOU A PLACE OF YOUR OWN.
BE ABLE TO GET UP IN THE MORNING...

AND LOOK OUT AT THE
SEA. CAN WE GO FISHING?

THEY GOT MARLIN DOWN
THERE BIGGER THAN YOU ARE.

SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD, MR. MATHEWS.

GOOD? IT'S GONNA BE
GREAT. HEAVEN ON EARTH.

YEAH. HEAVEN ON EARTH.

- YOU STAY INSIDE TILL
THE PLANE COMES, ALL RIGHT?
- OKAY.

THAT'S FUNNY.

WHY'D HE LOCK ME
IN HERE LIKE THAT?

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO IF
WE DON'T GET THERE IN TIME?

WHAT IF HE TAKES OFF WITH DUANE?

DON'T WORRY. WE'RE
ALMOST THERE. YEAH,

BUT NOW THAT MATHEWS KNOWS YOU'RE
ONTO HIM, HE MIGHT DO SOMETHING TERRIBLE.

MR. MATHEWS! MR. MATHEWS, HELP!

MR. MATHEWS!

HE DOUBLE-CROSSED ME!

HELP!

COLT, LOOK.

DUANE'S NOT WITH HIM.
HE MUST BE IN THAT HOUSE.

WE GOT TO GET DOWN THERE. ROBERT STORES
THE FUEL FOR HIS PLANE IN THAT HOUSE.

IT'S GONNA BLOW ANY
SECOND. WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT.

IT'LL TAKE FIVE MINUTES BY THE
ROAD. WE'RE GONNA TAKE A SHORTCUT.

HANG ON.

YOU GET MATHEWS. I'LL GET DUANE. YOU
GET AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. IT'S GONNA BLOW.

BUT... NO, GET AWAY
FROM THE HOUSE. GO ON.

DUANE.

HEY, SEAVERS, YOU
GOT THE WRONG MAN.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GET DUANE, NOT
ME. HE KILLED TIPPET. HE CONFESSED.

NOW HE KNOWS YOU TRIED TO KILL
HIM, I THINK HE'LL CHANGE HIS STORY.

GET DOWN. IT'S GONNA
BLOW! GET DOWN.

THE MEMORIES, THE
GOOD TIMES WE HAD.

I MEAN, THERE WERE TIMES
WE'D JUST GO OFF TOGETHER,

THE TWO OF US, FOR WEEKS.

PART OF MY LIFE
WAS IN THAT TRUCK,

AND WHEN SHE BLEW UP,
PART OF ME SORT OF DIED.

COLT, HE'S TALKING ABOUT
THAT TRUCK LIKE IT WAS A PERSON.

OH, SKIP, I'LL MAKE
IT UP TO YOU. I SWEAR.

IN FACT, I'M TRYING TO SWING IT SO
THAT WHEN MATHEWS'S TRIAL IS OVER,

YOU GET THIS LIMO.

A LIMO?

YEAH. YOU SEE, BIG JACK IS
SUING MATHEWS FOR DAMAGES,

AND SHE THINKS THAT SHE CAN GET YOU
THIS AS COMPENSATION FOR YOUR TRUCK.

NOTHING... CAN REPLACE MY TRUCK.

OH, NOW, SKIP, A LIMOUSINE
CAN BE PRETTY SPECIAL TOO.

YEAH, TAKE A LOOK
IN THE BACKSEAT.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM
TO SLEEP IN THERE. A HEATER, A STEREO.

HEY.

HEY, I'M BEGINNING TO
SEE WHAT YOU BOYS MEAN.

IF I WERE TO PUT A TORCH
TO THE BACK OF THIS THING...

TORCH TO A LIMO? SHUT UP,
KID. THERE'S A GENIUS AT WORK.

I COULD CUT THE BACK
OF THIS SUCKER OUT...

AND HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO
BUILD A HOUSE... WITH A LOFT!

A LOFT? TWO-STORY.

IF I BEEF UP THE SUSPENSION,

MAYBE I COULD EVEN
PUT IN A HOT TUB.

HOT TUB! COLT, SKIP'S STARTING TO
GET PRETTY ATTACHED TO THIS LIMO.

WHAT HAPPENS IF BIG
JACK CAN'T GET IT FOR HIM?

I GUESS MY... GUESS MY
TRUCK WILL BE GOING CONDO.
