3:10 To Yuma.....

I just watched the film over the weekend and loved it. Bale and Crowe are fantastic in their roles. I just had one problem with how Ben Wade (Crowe's character) gets caught. When he is upstairs in the saloon with a lady friend, he clearly notices authorities coming back from the robbery location through the window. From there, he sits down at the bar to have a long conversation with Dan Evans (Bale's character) only to have authorities take him into custody at gunpoint. Why would Wade take so long to attempt a getaway? Why did he take his time at the saloon? Shouldn't he have gotten out of there asap since they were obviously gonna come back?
