The scene in Lawrence during which Jake points a revolver at Pitt Mackeson when Pitt tries to take a father and son out of a home appears in the movie almost exactly as it is seen in the novel. However, the final scene with Pitt Mackeson, during which Jake points rifle at Pitt after chatting with him, is quite different. In the novel, Jake chats not with Pitt but with one of Pitt's associates, and after their talk, when Jake realizes Pitt is coming up the road on horseback, Jake goes to the road and shoots at Pitt, who hides in the trees. As in the film, however, the novel ends without either Jake or Pitt killing each other. In the end, they both go their separate ways.
