They Went That-a-Way

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas. It is also an Achievement on the Xbox 360 and PC; and a Silver Trophy on the PlayStation 3.

Objectives

 * Find the men who tried to kill you.

Quick walkthrough
Well, now you're ready to mosey on out of Goodsprings and find that guy in the checkered suit. Get looking!

Primm

 * Go to Primm, a bit south-east down the road from Goodsprings Source.
 * When you arrive, you'll be stopped by an NCR trooper, who tells you Primm is off limits, and to stay on the west side of the overpass if you don't want to get shot. The east side of Primm (the side where you can see the roller coaster) has been overtaken by Convicts.  Note that although they may be referred to as Powder Gangers by NCR officials, killing them does not affect your relationship with the Powder Gangers as these convicts are separate from that faction.
 * If you ask the NCR for help, they'll just say it's not under their jurisdiction, and even if it was, they're desperately low on supplies and extra hands.
 * Go into Primm and kill everyone who is outside (about six convicts).
 * Enter Vikki and Vance Casino and talk to Johnson Nash about finding the man that shot you.
 * Note that the companion ED-E can be located in the courier office which is Johnson Nash's home. To repair ED-E you must pass a repair skill level or have sufficient parts.  Activating ED-E opens the quest ED-E My Love.

Nipton

 * Skipping past My Kind of Town, head to Nipton (down the road south, then east).
 * You'll find only two people, the rest have been killed, tortured and crucified by Caesar's Legion.
 * Go into the store on the left to find the second survivor, Boxcars, who tells you that they took a few hostages, and that you need to go to Novac. Speaking to him about this opens up the quest Booted.  You can also gain Karma by giving Boxcars Med-X.
 * Lastly, there is a man at the town hall,he is the Legions 2nd in command after the burned man. He will tell you of what they did and the mission Cold Cold Heart will start.

Novac

 * At Novac, ask around and find Manny Vargas (located in the T-rex during the daytime).
 * Go through the Dino-Bite Gift Shop and talk to Manny:
 * He will make you clear out a building to the west before he tells you anything (unless you have the Confirmed Bachelor perk). This will lead to the Come Fly With Me quest.
 * You can also use the terminal in his hotel room to read his journal logs to trigger the continuation of the quest. No karma loss, and Manny will not turn hostile toward you, even if he witnesses you using the terminal.
 * You can also speak to Manny Vargas about his co-worker, Boone. Speaking to Boone can open up the quest One for My Baby, making him available as a companion.

Boulder City

 * Manny will then tell you that they went to Boulder City.
 * Go there and begin the quest Boulder City Showdown. About halfway through, when you talk to Jessup, you will complete.
 * Jessop will give you a quest item, Benny's Lighter.
 * If you can end the showdown peacefully you can gain good karma with the Great Khans.

Bugs

 * To finish extremely quickly:
 * Simply make your way to the New Vegas Strip through Camp McCarran's terminal building on the monorail and head into the Tops Casino
 * As long as Benny is in your sights, you will get the XP and a "Quest Complete" message on-screen (The trip through the wasteland is extremely dangerous, a few stealth boys and/or stimpaks are recommended)
 * If you clear out the building to the west before going to Manny, the mission may not be marked as completed, even if you go back to the building after speaking with Manny.
