They manage to evade the bounty hunters for several days until it's obvious that they are catching up to them. As the posse closes in, Lola dies by a gunshot wound to the chest. It is left deliberately ambiguous whether Lola shot herself in order to slow down the posse's advance or whether Willie killed her to keep her out of the posse's hands. Cooper is inclined to believe the latter and then goes off alone to bring in Willie dead or alive, before the main posse catches up to him.

As soon as Cooper catches up, he comes under fire from Willie who is positoned at the top of Ruby Mountain. Cooper narrowly avoids being shot on several occasions.

In the film's climax, Cooper maneuvers behind Willie and tells him he can turn around if he wants to, which he does. Willie then attempts to guns down Cooper, who beats Willie to the draw and shoots him in the chest with a Winchester. The slain outlaw topples down the hillside as Cooper picks up his gun. At the bottom of the hill, Redford pulls the trigger on Willie's gun and realizes in horror that it wasn't even loaded, making it apparent that Willie committed suicide by cop. Shocked and ashamed, Cooper carries the body down the hill and delivers it to other Paiutes, who carry the corpse away and burn the outlaw's remains.
