Mary! Mary.

e ¿Qué pasa?

Can't you knock? This is my house.

I ain't got time for niceties, Mary.

Call, he's headin' this way.

He can come.

He will not find my son.

He will if he sniffs around, picks up his scent.

Joey's in Crowtown, and Crowtown ain't but two days from here.

How do you know this news? I know it 'cause I frequent saloons.

If there's news, it passes through the saloons.

A vaquero spotted Call. He's with two men.

Billy? Hmm?

I want you to stay with my children. Take good care of them.

Well, you know I'd take good care of 'em, Mary.

Where you gonna be?

I'm going to Crowtown, to warn my son.

You... Crowtown?

How long you think you're gonna last in a place that rough?

I don't plan to move there.

I can last long enough to warn Joey.

Mary, let me go.

No!

I have more than one reason for wanting to go.

Mm? I do not want to be here when Call comes.

He killed my father, remember?

He killed my brothers.

If I see him, I might kill him myself.

Then my children, they will be lost.

Ah, this youngster is bad. What now, captain?

He killed six railroad men just east of the Pecos,

left 700 sheep on the train to die of thirst.

Good God.

Here's a telegram from Charlie Goodnight:

"Mox Mox is alive. He is your man burner.

"Your deputy is on his way. Famous Shoes tracking for him.

You may reCall Mox Mox burned one of my men. Available if needed."

Well, we know who the second bandit is, at least. Mox Mox.

He burnt one of Goodnight's cowboys, and who knows how many other folks.

Well, Mr. Brookshire,

there are two killers out there, just like I suspected.

Which one do we go after first?

Joey Garza.

He's the one I been hired to stop.

Well, what about this man burner?

Uhh, last news was he was in New Mexico.

New Mexico has law of a sort. Let them handle it.

Well, that will please the colonel.

And your colonel is a man who expects results.

Despite the bad news, can you travel?

I can travel.

In fact, I think I'd rather travel.

Then let's go. We can reach the Rio Cacho by tonight, if we push.

Rio Cacho'll take us right to the boy's village.

If we're lucky, the boy might be at home. Maybe we can catch him there.

Take good care of your brother.

Si, mama.

Take good care of Billy too.

If he gets drunk and falls asleep outside,

cover him so he wouldn't freeze.

I will take care of him too.

Adios. Adios.

Mm. Adios. Vaya con dios.

Now, you're on the wrong side of the Pecos river, you know?

You're gonna have to cross it. And cold as it is,

you're going to have to build a fire and thaw yourself out...

soon as you get across.

- Billy. - Yeah.

I have crossed rivers before, and I know the kind of risk I'm gonna face.

Well, Mary, can I ask you somethin'?

If you hurry. I cannot be here talking to you and ever get to Crowtown.

Well, uh, I like keepin' track of your husbands.

It's kind of a hobby of mine.

And I ain't seen that Senor Sanchez lately. Now, why did he run off?

I-If I ain't pryin'. You are prying.

Well, my feet hurt. Tell me anyway.

Senor Sanchez left me because he did not like me.

Well, he married you, why wouldn't he like ya?

He liked the way I looked. He mistook that for me.

When he find out who I am, he left.

Oh, well, I sympathize with the man.

I've often made that same mistake myself.

And I guess I'd make it again, if I could see better.

Listen-listen, uh, Mary.

Um... since you ain't got a husband,

well, h-how about me?

Billy, are you keeping me here, when I have so far to go...

in this cold wind, just to propose?

Well, that's... that's about the gist of it.

I will not marry you. But I'm happy you're my good friend.

And I'm glad you take good care of my children.

Right. Okay. Okay?

All right. Mm.

You take care of yourself. Adios, hombre.

Teresa? Rafael?

Marieta?

This shirt it dirty. Wash it again.

He ain't trained to be laundresses you know.

Well, he had better learn, Beulah.

My mother could do my clothes much better.

I thought you didn't care for your mother.

Bueno...

She's a whore too...

..but she could wash my clothes.

Joey...

You gotta be careful around John Wesley Hardin.

He's over at the saloon now drinkin' with Redfoot.

He's killed over 50 men they say.

You need to be careful. He's got a temper.

I seen Ben Lily yesterday.

Ben Lily? He still around?

Of course he's still around. He sold me an antelope haunch.

He sold ya an antelope haunch? Why ain't ya cooked it?

I don't cook. Beulah cooks, but she ain't been around lately.

Must cost you a bunch with the young killer here.

Been in town two days, and he's already corralled half the whores.

No, he's corralled all the whores.

Hardin, it's gonna cost me 50 cents to bury that helper of mine.

Now, you shot him,

the least you can do is chip in the 50 cents.

Why waste money buryin' a nigra?

We all got to be buried.

Hardin, that boy cost me $50.

That $50 for the boy, 50 cents for the grave.

That's $50.50 you owe me.

Don't stand there talkin' nonsense to me...

while I'm workin' hard at gettin' drunk.

Just drag him in. I'll find a sand hill.

Big pig'll eat him, and save you 50 cents.

I want my money.

Anyway, you're a fool if you paid money for a nigra.

It ain't even legal to buy one anymore.

Abe Lincoln seen to that.

Give over my money. You owe me! You give it over now.

I could kill you seven times

before you dropped that hammer on your own toe.

You owe me!

Now, you give it over. You give it over now!

You son of a bitch, I heard you.

Now, if you want to live, get gone.

If you'd rather die, flip that damn hammer one more time.

I doubt you're the killer you claim to be, Hardin.

I don't claim nothin'.

I'd like to smash your ugly face...

..but I guess I'll leave that pleasure to Captain Call.

Though I doubt he'd bother with a scabby old turd like you.

Woodrow Call?

Now, why would he want to kill me?

Yeah, he arrested me once, but that was...

..over a feud I got into in Lampasas.

Call ain't sheriff of Crowtown. He don't even live here.

No, but he'd comin'.

Ben Lily told me.

Woodrow Call's comin' to Crowtown.

That's bold, for an old turd his age.

Yeah, he's comin', but he ain't comin' for you.

You're not important enough anymore, Hardin.

You're just an old killer waitin' to die.

Well, why is he comin'? He expect to clean out the town?

No.

He's comin' for the guero here.

He's comin' for this Joey.

Now come on, Hardin, give me the money!

Ain't got no reason to give you a free helper to kill.

I hate idiots like you.

Now, wait a minute. Don't die on me.

When's Captain Call due to show up?

Soon, I reckon.

Now don't sit there. Go outside and die.

Nobody wants you dyin' in here. This is a proper saloon.

Lordy, it hurts!

I expect so.

That's what a .44 slug's meant to do.

I thought I told you not to die in here, you ugly bastard.

If you wadn't so near kilt, I'd take a bedsled to you, I would.

I ought'n to drop my hammer.

You didn't drop it. It's in your left hand.

You can tell left from right?

Well, I tried to get the stubborn son-of-a-bitch to go outside,

but he wouldn't.

- You'll have to drag him out, Pat. - He's dead.

Now, we're without a blacksmith.

Good. I disliked the bastard.

Drag him on out now, he's gonna start stinkin' in a minute.

You'll drag him out. You shot him.

Pat. I won't have my morning spoiled by having to drag out some dead fool.

You drag him out of here, boy.

Did you hear me, pup? Drag this man out of here.

What the hell? Is everybody stubborn in this town?

Why would they send Call after a pup like you?

They didn't send him after me because of the killings.

They sent him after me because...

gringos don't like losing money.

That's right. That's right.

It's the money, not the murders.

It don't cost them damn pigs one cent...

for us to kill one another off out here in the baldies.

Why would they care? Out here on the Pecos,

it's fine for us to steal from one another.

We better not rob no trains from the east,

where them damn Yankees keep their money.

How much did you get, guero?

I heard it was a million.

I heard it was the army's money.

Bein' a little closemouthed today, are we?

You'd do better to talk to yourself, Wes.

My ears get tired just listenin' to ya cuss.

It doesn't take any...

Be glad you can hear me, Pat. It means I ain't shot ya yet.

You remind me of myself,

when I was younger and... better lookin'.

I'll give ya a little free advice, killer.

You said it yourself.

Stealin' is a more dangerous habit in these parts than killin'.

But if you have a tendency to steal,

you best stay clear of Judge Roy Bean.

He can't abide a thief.

If he catches ya with money in your pockets,

he'll hang ya promptly and keep the money.

No.

He won't hang me.

But I might hang him. For sport.

Por nada.

That's original. That'd make the papers.

Ol' Call, he might get fired over that one.

No, my advice is to...

let Roy go and... kill Famous Shoes.

You heard of him, ain't ya?

Why should I kill that old man?

Because Famous Shoes is on his way south to track for Call.

If you don't shoot him first, he's gonna lead Call right to ya.

Famous Shoes don't miss.

Bueno, viejo, (Well, old man,)

neither do I.

Hi Bob.

Is there any news about Ted?

Wadn't any news yesterday,

and there ain't no news today.

I know I'm a pest sheriff but it's just I've,

never been without Ted before and,

with the baby comin' and all I'm just, a little worried.

You know I'm gettin' real tired of you

comin' to my jail askin' about Ted.

Ted ain't got the brains it takes to cross the street.

That ain't fair sheriff.

My husband is just as smart as the next fella.

You know...

- You keep comin' here, - Bob.

- and you keep comin' here, - Bob!

Stop it! Bob!

Go — hurting me Bob!

Shut up.

Bob, please don't hurt me!

NO!

My turn...

You wanna watch yourself there, m'am.

Doobie?

Doobie honey, what's wrong?

Daddy.

I just went there lookin' for news...

I never meant to disgrace you.

Woah, woah.

This sleepin' in the saddle won't do, men.

We're headin' into Joey Garza's territory.

Up to now, there's been no danger. That changes now.

He's got that German rifle, remember.

We need to take advantage of what cover there is.

You think the Garza boy knows we're coming, captain?

Expect he does.

Who'd tell him?

I don't know. News does travel

Our advantage is, my old corporal is on his way.

How will he find us?

I couldn't find anybody in this country if I had a year.

Neither could Corporal Parker for that matter.

Trackin's not his skill.

He'd be hard pressed to find old Mexico.

He's got an indian with him, Famous Shoes.

He's the best tracker left in the West, and damned expensive, but...

He'll bring the corporal to us.

Now, are you saying he can just

look at the ground and figure out where we are?

Not just the ground. Famous Shoes...

He'll think about it and watch the antelope, talk to the birds and...

Pretty soon, they'll show up.

Now, I know you men are tired, but Rio Concho's only 20 more miles.

We got a full moon tonight.

We need to press on.

Once we get to the river, we can use the bank as cover.

Even a German rifle can't make a bullet curve under a river bank.

I know it's hard travelin' with bad news Mr. Brookshire.

Your boss wants results.

Yes, he wants results...

..and he gets them too.

Well, let's ride.

If we're lucky, we'll catch that boy while he's home.

This all could be over in three or four day.

Senora Maria Garza. Is Joey here?

He's here, but he ain't awake. Wake him.

Tell him his mother is here.

You can come in, but I ain't gonna wake him up.

He don't like it when people wake him up.

Joey.

Despertar. Wake up. Wake up!

You must leave here.

Mama?

Would you wash my clothes? These girls, they don't know how to do it.

We don't have time to do the laundry.

Captain Call is coming.

I want you to do my laundry.

He will kill you, Joey.

He killed your grandfather and your uncles.

I do not a-want a-him to kill you.

This is my room. I don't like women in here.

Do not talk to me like that. I'm your mother.

Get up! Get up and leave!

They have sent the great killer after you.

Get out of here quickly,

or you're dead!

You leave. You are a stupid woman.

You've ridden all this way to tell me what I already know.

I know about Captain Call!

I'm not running from an old gringo.

Then you're dead, if you think that way.

I'll go home and tell your brother and your sister that you are dead.

You'll be lying.

I will not die.

Call will die...

even before he knows his death is coming. You will see.

Is there anyone who can make him leave? Shh.

John Wesley Hardin, maybe. John Wesley's killed over 50 men.

I think Joey likes him. 'course, John Wesley's crazy.

He's apt to kill anybody when he's in a mood. Where is this man?

He's in a saloon. He never sleeps.

You'll be takin' more than your life in your hand if you go in that saloon.

There's rough men in this town. In fact, there's none that ain't rough.

They'll not be the first rough men I ever seen.

What's going on?

You kill our pig?

What kind of a wild slut are you?

Senora Maria Garza, Joey's mother.

And if you are his friend,

I wish you would tell him to leave.

Captain Call's coming. I don't know where he is, but he's close.

- How close? - I don't know.

No se. I don't know.

His deputy is over by the Pecos.

Famous Shoes is taking him to meet the captain.

I knew it.

The last thing I told your boy was to shoot that old Indian.

She just killed the devil pig.

We have hundreds of people come here, try to take shots at that pig.

You walk into town one day and kill it dead.

This woman's a witch.

¿Hombre, que Paso? What's wrong with your foot?

I stomped it.

Son of a bitch is a card cheat.

It's too cold to stand around worrying about a dead pig.

Let's go inside.

What's the news, other than Woodrow Call's coming to Crowtown?

The snake who did not seize a-life.

Mox Mox?

That little squint don't bother me.

Now there's a bed over there in that corner.

You crawl in there with me, and these others, they can wait their turn.

Well, you're a fine one.

Your son's got all the whores.

You come into town, kill our pig.

And now you won't even crawl into bed with me after I ask you polite.

You watch it.

I don't like being in small rooms with whores who shoot pistols.

Maybe the killer instinct runs in the family, Wes.

I came here to find out if you would help my son.

No, thanks. I live for myself.

Captain Call will kill him.

And for all you know, he might kill you too. That ain't likely.

He ain't gettin' paid from me. He's gettin' paid for your boy.

Call's economical. He don't kill anybody who just needs killin'.

Him and Famous Shoes, they make a good pair.

Famous Shoes only tracks when he's paid.

Call kills for the same reason.

Hell, all right, a dollar then. Red can pay ya. He owes me money.

He can have seconds, and you'll be two dollars richer before breakfast.

What did she say? A dollar and a quarter then!

She's a lively one. Got some spirit.

She's so mean.

- Maybe she's crazy. - She's running now.

- Where is he? - He's gone.

- Where's my horse? - He took it.

Maybe he thought he'd need a fresh mount.

He'll need more than a horse when I find him.

Why are all of you crying?

Do you miss him already?

My Joey doesn't care about women.

He just care about himself.

Joey didn't care about us,

but he wadn't mean to us neither.

The other men only left us alone because they were scared of Joey.

Now they will be like wolves.

I have this gun but...

this will not keep them away.

I'm going home to Mexico.

Do you want to come with me?

I have to walk, but I'm going.

We have no one in Mexico.

Our mother is dead.

Fred Fidd'll beat me when he find out Joey is gone.

I's with him, 'till Joey come.

He'll beat me bad.

What will we eat?

All we have is that Antelope haunch

you bought from that old man, Ben Lily.

I just killed the pig.

You can eat it.

You killed a pig?

What pig?

That big pig.

...damn thing I've ever seen.

She killed it! She killed the pig!

The pig would follow us when we had to go into the bushes.

We were afraid he would eat us.

He was the devil pig.

No.

He was just a pig, and now he's dead.

If you'll give me a bucket,

I make sausage from the blood of that pig. Hmm.

I need a horse to drag that thing.

Old Matee has a horse

Maybe he could drag a pig. Que?

Naiche, the old indian woman.

Over there. Her house is made of sticks.

Com permiso (with permission)

Poor mother?

I need your horse.

You killed the great pig.

If you let me borrow your horse,

I can drag the pig to a place where I can butcher it.

I will give you all the pig meat you can carry.

You can take my horse if you give me the guts of the pig.

My people were strong from eating the guts of animals.

You are from the Comanche canon?

Yes. But the white man came, and now... we are gone.

If I can take your horse...

..you can have whatever you want.

Gracias mother. What's his name?

Horse.

Horse.

Horse?

I been tryin' to tell you, we're here to meet Captain Call.

We're both deputies.

We've been hired to try to help him catch Joey Garza. You heard of him?

I don't give a tinker's damn who you're here to meet.

That old indian's a horse thief.

He escaped me once. He will not do it again.

Now, look, his name is "Famous Shoes" 'cause he walks everywhere.

He wouldn't steal a horse because he ain't got no use for a horse.

Only use he'd have for a horse is to eat one.

Stealin' horses to eat is still stealin' horses.

Well, I never stole a horse in my whole life. What'd you arrest me for?

Because you were with a horse thief.

You just might be a horse thief yourself.

I am not a horse thief!

I hang the old Kickapoo, you can go.

Look, you've had us here all day long.

And he has not had a thing to eat.

Now, why are you starvin' him?

All he did was eat a dead horse, and that was years ago.

He evaded the law. My law.

He deserves worse than starvin',

and he's gonna get worse than starvin', too.

Besides, why waste food on an old Kickapoo...

who's good as hung anyway?

All us women want to come with you.

None of us want to stay here. We'll all die if we stay here.

A very hard day if you come with me.

You might freeze,

or starve,

or drown.

I'd rather drown than stay here.

We ain't scared.

Bueno.

I can take you to the railroad.

Will be... two very cold days and nights, and we have to walk.

No. I won't go.

I want to wait for Joey.

He don't have no one to help him.

Joey thinks Gabriela is pretty.

- Me and Gabriela, we better stay. - Where?

Marieta, Gabriela,

do not be weak.

Joey will never come back.

These men will use you till you're sick.

Isn't it, or no?

You know she ain't lyin'.

Naiche?

Naiche?

We are leaving.

You should come with us.

I will take you to the railroad.

This is not a good place for a woman.

Train don't have no place to take me. All my people are dead.

Billy Williams says,

there are many of your people still alive in the territory.

I don't believe Billy Williams. He is white!

There are only white men in the world now.

I have all this food. I want to stay here and eat it.

Bring it.

I'll help you.

I do not know what will become of you,

if I leave you here with these men.

Don't worry about men. Look! Let me show you what I have.

I don't let this fire go out.

When the norther comes, it keeps my scorpians from freezing.

Look. Oh!

Oh, they don't sting me no more.

No. When men are bad,

I put scorpians in their clothes.

Old Tommy, he stole my tobacco.

He got drunk.

I put three in his pants.

They stung him wehre he is a man

Naiche?

Run away to my home

I have two children

My girl is blind,

and my boy can not think well.

You could help me with them.

My time is coming.

If you miss your time, then you can not rest.

Besides, I like the crows.

I have one that comes to my house and tells me secrets.

That is why I know I must stay,

and wait for my time.

She is up there now... my crow.

I have no more time. I must go.

I hate these crows. They bring bad luck.

Ain't you John Wesley Hardin?

Mind your own business, you cross-eyed runt.

You're too big to be inside.

You go outside and drink, or else sit down.

You're blockin' my light. Ain't no chair for me.

Then sit on the floor, you damn kraut barrel.

Be friendly, Hardin. I got six men here.

We aim to kill the Garza boy.

Six ain't enough.

Well, countin' me, it's seven.

Well, you gotta subtract the Mexicans 'cause they undoubtedly can't shoot.

Then you gotta subtract this sack of sausage who's blockin' my light.

The reason you gotta subtract him is because...

I'm about to kill him if he don't sit down!

Sit down, Garth.

Don't you hear Mr. Hardin?

Ain't no chair.

Goin' outside would be even better.

Then I wouldn't have to look at 300 pounds of stupidity

while I'm tryin' to concentrate on my cards.

I'm out.

I'll play, if you're short for a game.

I guess you would, you damn Cherokee.

Or are you Choctaw?

Is the Garza boy here?

He took three payrolls.

Should've been ours if he left them damn trains alone.

I mean to see that he don't get the fourth.

The boy ain't here. Neither is his mother.

Now why would I care about his mother?

You ought a care. She can whip the whole bunch of you.

You are one rude son of a bitch.

This ace don't belong in this deck. It's got six or seven already.

I got a mind to kill you, Hardin.

Well, I doubt if I'll be killed by a squint like you.

Or a Choctaw boy, or a...

..ignorant amble of a German you brought in here.

Give me one, two.

You know, if you got a mind for killin',

maybe you ought a get old Woodrow Call while you're gettin'.

Woodrow Call? Yeah.

The railroad sent him after Joey Garza.

That was like whackin' an ox.

I hope my weapon's intact.

You got no idea how mean I am,

you scabbish son of a bitch.

I'm gonna kill that young Mexican,

then I'm gonna kill old Call.

He never caught Blue Duck, and he ain't ever gonna catch me.

Did you know that we're in the newspapers, Hardin?

They say we're the worst gang to ever hit the west.

I rarely bother with folks who read the papers.

Personally, I wouldn't give a nickel's worth of horse meat

for the whole bunch of ya.

Now if you boys wanna sit in here and drink,

do it quietly.

I don't wanna risk damage to my weapon

by having to whack you like I whacked that lunkhead.

Well, I guess if we're not wanted,

we'll depart.

I thought you could shoot.

It takes a witch to kill a crow, and I ain't no witch.

Sorry you came with me, Mr. Brookshire?

No, I'm not sorry. Katie's gone now. Might as well be here.

- How 'bout you, deputy? - I'm with ya, captain.

Billy Williams. Hello, Billy. That is you, ain't it?

Woodrow, where you been? we've been expecting you for about a week now.

Why would you be expectin' me?

Everybody knows you're huntin' Joey Garza.

It's the talk of the whole west.

I wish the whole west would keep their mouths shut then.

You know this wild boy, Billy? I know him.

Ain't that that Ted Plunkert from down Laredo?

That's him.

What are you draggin' him along for Woodrow? He is worthless.

I wouldn't hire him to shovel out manure

if I had me a whole stable full.

These your children, Billy?

They ain't. No.

That's a pretty child. She's Joey's sister.

She's blind, ain't she? Yeah.

Blind from birth.

This, uh... this house... This is the house that...

Yeah. Yeah, you hung Maria's father and her brothers,

and you brought 'em to this house.

If you're here with these children,

I expect their mother's gone off to warn their brother.

I 'spect.

Guess we'll be goin' then, since the news is spread.

Don't forget to take your man. What man?

Your man, Pea. Your corporal.

Pea's here? Goodnight informed me he was coming, but he didn't say...

Yeah, he's over at Sheriff Jonathan's jail across the river at Presidio.

Famous Shoes is with him. What are they doin' in jail?

Some years back, sheriff caught that old Kickapoo eatin' a dead horse.

Decided it was stolen.

Sheriff ain't forgot. Why was Pea arrested?

Consortin' with a horse eater, I guess.

That you're here watchin' after his brother and sister,

you must be a friend of this Joey's then?

If Joey has friends, I ain't met 'em.

When he was a youngster he was likable enough,

but once he come back from the Apaches, he wasn't likable no more.

He ain't been likable since either. Boy part Indian?

Nah.

One of Maria's husbands didn't like having brats under foot,

so one day he just took off and sold Joey to the Apaches.

Maria was gone at the time.

She was off helpin' her ma on her deathbed.

He was with the Indians three years.

I tried to buy him back a couple of times myself,

but they wouldn't trade with me.

He was about 12 when he escaped.

He outran them Apaches.

They couldn't track him neither.

Explains why he's hard to track.

It's good that Pea is here.

I guess deputy Plunkert can go on home now, if he's a mind to.

Ted Plunkert ain't a fighter Woodrow.

He's just a jailer.

She's a pretty little girl, I'll say that.

Who is that man, Billy?

Name is Call honey. Woodrow Call.

He said I was pretty.

Well, he's right.

You are pretty.

Real pretty.

Just like your ma.

Is he a king, Billy?

Well, a king of sorts.

I guess you could say that.

I think he must be a king.

Sheriff? I think we got trouble.

There's a man coming. I think it's old Call.

I never seen the man, but I think it's him.

Now, why would that mean trouble? He's a lawman. I'm a lawman.

He's kind of got that stiff look.

Ever since you got your ear shot off, you're imagining things.

Captain.

Let these men out. You have no authority to arrest them.

They were sent here to help me bring in Joey Garza.

You ought not to have interfered with them.

I reckon I know who to arrest.

That indian's gonna be hung. He's a known horse thief.

I'm sure you hung a good many just like him yourself.

Famous Shoes never been known to ride a horse, much less steal one.

Pea Eye Parker's been my deputy for 30 years.

He's never been a lawbreaker.

He came to town with a criminal,

and that's breakin' the law for me, by God.

Here. I heard you were stubborn.

So, I got a telegram from the governor of Texas.

Mr. Brookshire's boss, president of the railroad that hired me.

He sent the wire to the governor hisself.

Now, I done this to save time.

We're provisioned. We're ready to ride.

Sheriff, it is from the governor.

- Wanna read it? - No, I don't, by God.

When I wad something up, I want it to stay wadded up.

Damn the governor and damn you.

You don't just walk in here

and order me to let criminals out of my own jail.

They ain't criminals, and you've overstepped.

Your man can go...

Today I hang the old Indian,

and I'll hang the old Indian in my own good time.

They're dead men, they step out of them cells.

I will not tolerate escape.

You son of a bitch!

Captain, he's subdued. Stop it. Get off me.

By God...

Help me! Help me! Somebody help!

Get a rope! Get a rope.

Get a hold on him. Somebody get a rope. Get me a rope.

- Get me a rope. - Come on. Get it on him.

Get that rope on him! Let go of the saddle.

Pull. Pull.

All right, all right, all right, all right. All right. Stop!

Stop. That's enough.

It's over.

It's all right, Pea. It's all right.

When he comes around, you tell him...

that if he ever points a damn pistol at me, he had better shoot.

I won't tolerate rude behavior.

Yes, sir.

Remind him I was following the governor's instructions.

Read him that damn telegram.

We need an experienced tracker to help us locate the Garza boy.

Are you available?

Yeah.

You won't even have to pay me, either.

Why not?

Pey Eye's woman is gonna teach me how to follow tracks in books.

Tracks in books?

You mean words? She's going to teach you to read?

Yes.

As soon as I help you catch Joey.

Alright then, if Pey Eye's wife agreed.

Don't stand there like targets lined up in a shooting gallery. let's go.

You know, when I first met Captain Call,

I wasn't sure he ought a been hired to take on an assignment like this.

Why's that?

Well, he seemed old and kinda stiff.

Wasn't sure he'd be up to it.

Well if he took it, I reckon he's up to it.

Always has been.

Well, after seein' what he did to that sheriff,

I'm bound to say Colonel Terry

clearly chose the right man for the job.

Lori, could that really be you?

Lori, it's me, Tinkersley.

It is you, ain't it? Tell me it's you.

I'm married now, Tinkersley. I'm here lookin' for my husband.

He's with Captain Call.

Whose funeral?

Doobie Plunkert. She was well-liked in the town.

I liked her myself, even though I only met her once.

That's why I lent my whores to sing at her funeral.

I kept two back for business.

They got scratchy voices anyway.

So you're still runnin' whores, huh? Yeah, mostly.

I'm surprised they let whores sing at a funeral.

Was she a whore?

No, no. She was married to the deputy sheriff. Only about 16.

He went off with old Call, too, just like your husband.

Yeah, it's a filthy shame. Sheriff Jekyll raped Doobie.

Did he kill her?

No.

She was pregnant.

She felt so bad about the matter that...

..she took rat poison and died.

She must've felt hopeless.

Lori, you didn't know her. You ain't expected to attend the funeral.

I know hopeless though.

I'd rather you didn't accompany me.

You didn't even know the woman.

Get away from me, Tinkersley.

You done nothin' but hurt me when we was together.

I don't want you to be walkin' with me.

I'm here to find my husband.

Oh, but I bought you pretty dresses.

Yeah, so you could sell me at a higher price.

Get away from me. I don't like rememberin' nothin' about that.

Lori, look. I just thought we could visit a little bit.

I never thought I'd see you again.

I'd come down there to Lonesome Dove lookin' for you,

and you'd already gone north with old McCrae... He wasn't that old.

His head looked like an overripe melon

after Captain Call got through with him.

'Scuse me. Gentlemen...

I heard you mention Captain Call.

My husband's his corporal. I'd...

..be greatful for any news you have of the group.

We don't know much, ma'm.

Cap'm Call dang near killed that sheriff of Presidio.

They ain't even sure if he's gonna live yet.

What we heard was... Captain was tryin' to get his man out of jail.

That'd be my husband.

And I guess the sheriff just went crazy.

Well, he's never broken the law. He oughtn't to been in jail.

The sheriff's got his own ideas about who is a criminal.

You don't have to break much law to get arrested in Joe Doniphan's town.

Reckon that's changed now.

I don't think Call liked his look much.

He changed it didn't he.

Well, thank you for the news.

- Ma'm. - Ma'm.

Help us! Stop! Stop please!

Wait, wait, wait... stop...

You gals better be damn glad I'm in a good mood.

You get on back to that caboose and hang on!

Make it quick. Hang on tight!

I wish you'd come.

Come with us!

I have to go home to my children.

Maria, you'd do well to get on this train with us right now.

Mox Mox is out there somewhere.

If he catches you, you'll wish you were with us in Fort Worth.

My children will not live in Fort Worth.

It's still a long way to Mexico.

You ain't got a horse.

A horse can walk, so can I.

Vaya con Dios.

Is that dogs?

Dogs.

Who'd be runnin' hounds in a country like this?

That lion-killin' man. Those are his dogs.

He has nine of them.

That's Ben Lily.

Forget that old man's still alive.

Prefers bear, but he can't find bear.

He'll kill lions.

Those dogs were chasin' a mule deer.

Doesn't take that many shots to kill a mule deer.

I'll go see.

All right, let's... Let's keep close guard tonight, huh?

I heard six, seven guns.

It's night. Who'd be hunting at night?

Oh, probably some vaqueros on their way home.

Old Ben Lily, he's cranky.

We might've made him mad.

- What's that? - Be quiet.

Well, I've heard a lot of sounds, captain,

but I ain't ever heard no sound like that.

You don't suppose that could be an eagle.

I've heard that eagles scream. 'course, I never heard one.

I wish it would get light.

What about the indian Captain? Shall we wait for him?

He's a tracker Mr. Brookshire. He'll find us.

If this Mr. Lily travels so much,

maybe he'll know something about Joey Garza.

Ben Lily won't know nothing.

Why not?

Ben Lily isn't interested in humans.

He's only interested in bears and lions.

I saw the tracks of two wolves.

Not many wolves left. I was glad to see those tracks.

You find Ben Lily? Yeah.

He was hiding in the snake's den.

What about his dogs?

It's the snake you do not see...

The Man Burner.

He has six men with him.

One of them is very large.

He killed Ben Lily's dogs.

Great day!

They roped his best dog, and burned it.

That must be the sound we heard. Where is Mr. Lily now?

He's not far.

I think he's confused.

Well, he's always been that way. Right now, he's lucky he ain't burnt!

Mr. Lily?

Mr. Lily?

He burn my best dog Captain.

Killed all nine of my hounds,

and burnt ole Flop alive.

Didn't eat them, just killed them.

You'll see. The dogs are just ahead.

I don't want to see a burned dog. Burned old Flop alive.

Ole Flop was my best dog.

Mr. Lily, you lucky he didn't burn you.

I'd suggest you follow along with us for a day or two.

Uh-huh. I hid - I hid in a snake den.

I don't fear snakes.

Mox Mox is a snake to fear.

You best come along with us, 'til this is settled.

I'm goin' to Sante Fe.

Gonna get me some new dogs.

We're going to Judge Roy Beans. He usually has a few dogs.

I don't know. I don't like Judge Beans. His dogs'r nothing but hounds.

That killer done kilt my dogs. I got to get to Sante Fe.

You be careful then.

My dogs. Old Flop is gone.

Do you reckon he's loco, captain?

Old Ben Lily's always been loco.

Damn few left like him. Killer done killed my dogs.

Like him how, captain?

Oh, like him, like Gus, like Hickok,

old Kit Carson.

They done what they wanted. They went where they wanted.

Wasn't always good, but at least they lived free lives.

You're a farmer yourself, corporal.

Respectable. Charlie Goodnight's got his ranch.

Ah, just the killers and a few like old Ben Lily...

that kept to the old ways.

Well, and you, captain.

What?

You kept to the old ways.

That's it. I will kill him today. He'll be with the fishes.

I go see them again tomorrow.

Mama, you've come back.

Mary, where you been so long?

Mama, there was a man here. I think he was a king.

He said I was pretty.

Where'd this king come from?

What a-was his name?

Call came through, Mary. Down in Cacho.

- Came through and went where? - Down to Maravilla Canyon, I think.

He done you one favor before he left though.

He ruined that Sheriff Doniphan.

Beat him nearly to death with a rifle.

As soon enough as that sheriff was strong enough to hold a gun,

son of a bitch shot himself.

Did Famous Shoes bring him? What did you tell him about Joey?

Famous Shoes didn't bring him, and I didn't tell him nothin'.

Hell, there wasn't nothin' to tell.

Rafael.

If this king ever come back, you come to the house.

Do not let him look at you.

He's a bad man.

He wants to kill Joey.

Do not ever let him look at you.

Do you understand? Yeah.

But he didn't do anything bad.

He said I was pretty.

He was right.

You are pretty.

This Indian owes me a nickel.

He's on your payroll. Cough it up.

I didn't know you served drinks for a nickel.

Liquor ain't that cheap.

He come up lame. I rubbed some lotion on his foot.

That lotion curese all ills, except for a weak pecker.

I stepped on a cactus with thorns as sharp as a snake's tooth.

I'll pay the money,

although I don't happen to have it with me right now.

Pay him a nickel Mr. Brookshire.

Put it in your ledger. I'm sure your colonel will approve.

You expectin' a war party? you seem to be thoroughly armed.

I expect perdition. Always have.

Perdition can come in the form of a bullet.

That's why I'm ready. I wanna be prepared to shoot back.

Well, we've had a norther at our back.

If this is still a saloon, we'd like whiskey.

I expect perdition will come in the form of disease.

I'm susceptible to diseases.

Can't shoot a damn disease.

Hope you catch the Garza boy next week.

This week wouldn't be too soon neither.

I'll catch him, but I doubt it'll be this week.

Depends on when Famous Shoes picks up his track.

There are very few competent marksmen in this part of the country.

And that boy... That's my chair.

The Garza boy is a competent marksman.

He's affected my profits.

Shootin' people who might be comin' here to drink.

Besides, I'm not as tranquil with myself as I'd like to be.

Used to, I could sit out there in that chair and concentrate on business matters.

So now I got to worry...

that somebody on a hill a mile away is gonna plug me while I'm concentratin'.

No hill within a mile of here.

And a half mile is more likely a distance for a rifle shot anyway.

I've never seen a rifle that could shoot accurate more than a half mile.

You're not a competent marksman neither,

and you don't know everything.

Charlie Goodnight thinks He knows everything. So do you!

I've never known you to worry about killers before, judge.

There's a lot safer places to live along this border...

if you're the sort to let killers disturb your naps.

I weathered many a killer,

but I resent a Mexican boy with a rifle that'll shoot that far.

Oh, that boy ain't the only reason you ought to start nappin' indoors.

Ain't you heard of Mox Mox?

Who'd the lunatic singe now?

Ben Lily's best dog.

Not Flop.

Why would the son of a bitch want to burn a dog?

Why would he want to burn a person?

'Cause he likes to, that's why.

I'll serve your deputy again when he wakes up.

I hate to do it, but I'm gonna split off.

Why's that, captain?

Well, we got two different threats to deal with now.

We got Mox Mox and the young killer.

Mox Mox ain't too far. I think I can catch him if I go alone, travel fast.

Well, it's gonna upset Mr. Brookshire. Yeah, I expect so.

He's a grown man. He knows how to make a fire.

Where do you want us to go? You go back to Orinaga, where we were.

Joey Garza will have to show up at home sometime.

Don't you challenge him without me.

You camp on the Cacho, oh, about a half a day from the village.

But you ought to take one of us with you to help the odds.

I appreciate your concern,

but we ain't got much choice.

Deputy Plunkert and Mr. Brookshire, they ought to be sent off alone.

They're too green.

Joey Garza shows up,

they'd stand no chance.

I might not stand much of one either, captain.

I expect you to hold your own, corporal.

Well,

good luck to you then.

Good luck to you. Keep those men close.

You set a decent guard at night.

What's wrong, corporal?

You shouldn't have no hard trip.

Just across the river, follow it to the Concho.

Wait a few days. Doubt if I'll be very long.

I ain't worried about us. I reckon we'd stay pointed south.

River's right there. Can't lose it unless we go blind.

What is it then?

Well, it's you, captain. That Mox Mox has got six men with him.

One of them is that quick Jimmy Cumsah. He's a wily Cherokee.

Hard man to take.

If I was you, I'd read my paper inside.

Don't neglect any killers now.

See you there, men.

Say. You oughtn't to leave that pistol cocked, you know,

you might have a bad dream and...

..jerk it, shoot your knee off.

Might rain whores out of the sky, too, but I doubt it.

They're mine.

Did you kill him mister?

Son, I hit him

But I don't know how bad he's wounded.

Here. Cut your sister loose. I'll get you a horse.

Mr.? Have you got a biscuit?

Have you got a biscuit? Me and Marcy we ain't had no food.

Yeah, here son.

I got some beef jerky.

That ought to get you two t'town,

so we can notify your folks

- What's your name? - Bobby.

Bobby Fant.

Woah. W-w-woah.

Bobby Fant?

Son?

Jasper your pa? Jasper Fant?

- That's Pa. How'd you know his name? - Well, we...

..whipped 'em up Canada together. Used to work for me.

Now, Bobby,

we're gonna have to ride hard all night.

- Don't you let your sister fall. - I won't sir.

Shoot.

Shoot, damn it.

Rusty... Rusty son of a bitch.

Are you plannin' on hangin' me?

Get away from my saloon, you damn pup.

I'm the law west of Pecos.

In case you ain't heard, I'm the one that does the hangin' around here.

Whelp. That's what you are.

You whelp of a whore!
