Shortbeckle! Which way did he go, Kelly?

He took the west fork heading along the creek bed.

Thanks.

That was a close one.

Come on, we better patch up your arm.

Why are you helping me?

Well, like the Arabs say, my enemy's enemy is my friend.

Come on.

He was a cop and good at his job, but he committed the ultimate sin and

testified against other cops gone bad.

Cops that tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead.

Framed for murder, now he prowls the Badlands, an outlaw hunting outlaws, a

bounty hunter.

A renegade.

Well, you are a lucky guy. It looks like they just missed the artery.

You a doctor?

Nurse practitioner.

Well, I used to be.

I'm a lucky guy. Lucky you came along.

Who are you?

Hey, I thought I told you to take a shower.

I did.

Your hair's not even wet.

Hi. My name's Brad.

This is my son.

Hi, Brad.

I'm Vince.

What happened to you?

Bike accident.

You mean like a motorcycle?

Yeah.

Wow. Look at that. Is that an eagle?

Mm -hmm. That's so cool.

Is that a real gun?

Um, okay.

You can go do your homework and then go to bed.

But can I just... No.

Go on. All right. Good luck.

See you, Vince.

See you.

I don't know what the thing is he has with guns. I never even bought him a

pistol. Guy thing.

Well... I've got some work I need to do before bed. You need some rest and we

get up at dawn around here.

Just where is here?

Oak Knoll Farm.

Just the farm to the people who live here. There are more people here?

I will answer all your questions in the morning.

Good night.

Good night.

Morning. Morning to you.

Fine looking stock you got there.

Aren't they pretty?

Everything just grows better here.

It's no wonder why.

Don't know how people ever got to filling them full of chemicals and

when they do so beautifully if you just leave them be.

Have a good day.

Good day.

Morning. Back at you.

Ned? Did you get a chance to look at that article I gave you?

Not yet.

You should. I mean, I think you'll like it. I mean, this guy gets into people's

absolute right to... Look, Ned, um, I'll see you later. I gotta finish my

chores.

Hey, aren't you the guy who got shot last night?

Why are you laughing? It's not funny. You should be resting.

Oh, sorry, Doc.

I gotta get this fixed.

Those cops are gonna come looking for me.

I don't want to bring any trouble down on you folks. Well, you start

hemorrhaging from that arm, you're going to bring trouble for you and us.

What's the matter with your bike anyway?

Well, I can fix everything.

The drive belt's busted.

I've got to get a new one.

Well, there's a bike shop in Kendall. I could... Hold on.

Morning, Jack.

Bankrupt? Nib?

Wouldn't happen to have a set of points for a Matthew Ferguson, would you? Nope.

I'm a John Deere man myself.

Hey, Jack.

You ever find that biker last night?

That's what we're doing up here.

You two seen a long hair ride through here?

Tattoos riding a soft hat?

I haven't. Ned?

Nope, sorry.

You sure about that?

Mm -hmm.

Doesn't sound too mistakable. Of course, you would tell me if you had, right?

Of course, Sheriff. You know how much we respect the law.

You mind if I take a look around for myself?

I don't mind, no.

But knowing how much you respect the law, I'm sure you'd want to have a

Do you have a warrant, Jack?

Not yet.

We'll catch you later when you do.

So what do you want with this guy anyway?

You can read all about it on the warrant.

Quite a celebrity, my friend.

Vince Black.

Peter Bancroft.

This is Ned Cochran.

I appreciate what you did.

Hey, anybody can push their buttons like that. It makes my day. I told Peter

about everything that happened last night.

And we trust Kelly's judgment 100%. But I'm just curious. Why are they after

you? Nothing unusual, really.

Long hair, bike.

Happens all the time.

We understand that.

Innocent until proven guilty is a foreign language to these people.

Well, have a nice day here, friend.

Thanks.

Come on, Vince. I'll make you some breakfast.

I guess we're most proud of being so self -sufficient.

Those are solar panels, aren't they? Right.

And Ned built us some high -tech windmills on the ridge, so we power

and Edison writes us a check every month for the excess.

That's amazing.

Passive irrigation, we have our own wells.

We grow or build just about everything we need.

Well, how did this place start?

It was Peter Bancroft's idea.

He figured that a few people can't change a whole corrupt system, but they

opt out and live within their own system.

And what did he do before this?

Lawyer. Yeah, you made the farm a non -profit, so there's no taxes, no

government handouts, no one telling us how to live our lives.

Not even him?

You know what my favorite rule is?

No TV.

I've actually raised a son who reads books, whose mind is not crammed full of

violence and sitcoms and video games.

Now, how's he going to get along in the real world?

Look around, Vince. This is the real world.

wasteland outside.

Can you really run away from it?

We're not running away.

We're running to something.

There must be something you miss.

I don't miss killing myself just to make ends meet.

I don't miss being so crazy busy that I don't have any time for my son or

myself.

Hi.

Hi. Working you pretty hard, aren't they?

No, it's kind of fun.

I don't mind.

Actually, I think my mom sent me down here to keep me away from you.

Why's that?

She hates guns.

Can't stand on myself.

Can I see yours?

Your mom would strangle me.

Where's your dad? I haven't met him yet.

Oh, my dad's dead.

I'm sorry.

Oh, it's okay.

Look, um, I've got to get this stuff up to Mr. Lowry.

Whoa. What you got there?

Oh, it's fertilizer.

Oh, yeah?

I thought everything around here was organic.

That's right.

Where do you keep it?

In the barn.

Think they have any horses or a couple of cows in there?

Sure.

I'll show them to you if you show me your gun.

I'll tell you what.

I'll let you sit on my bike.

You mean it? Really?

Race you.

Hey.

Where do you think you're going?

Checking out your livestock. You got a problem with that? Yeah, I got a problem

with people who don't mind their own business.

Leave him alone, Ned.

Go back to your mom, Brad.

You're not my father.

Don't talk back.

Hey. Lighten up. Look, I don't need advice from you. You need advice from

someone.

Come on, Brad.

Hey!

What the hell's going on around here?

Seems Ned doesn't share your live and let live philosophy.

He tried to kill me! He did not! Can you take that out, please?

Sorry, Vince, our number one commandment around here is no gun.

Aren't you...

Let me hang on to that for you. I can't do that.

Well, then you better be moving on.

I'll tell you what I will do.

Fair enough.

Peter. No, it's all right.

Gun's no use without bullets.

Thanks. Catch you later.

Reno, is this you? Because if it is, I'm smoked.

I've been treed by cops, shot at, run off the road.

Now my bike's down.

Oh, that's nice. Now I feel so much better.

I figured out that all I need is a drive belt. Once I get that, I'm on the road.

Wait a minute, not so fast.

Locals are out in force. Every scanner from Mexicali to Indio is tuned in to

your station. So if I were you, I'd stay exactly where you are.

By the way, where are you?

I really have no idea.

I was rescued by this woman.

Bobby, she's part of a commune.

They call themselves The Farm.

Plant a Brussels sprout or something.

And just sit still until the heat dies down.

I'll do my best.

Reno.

Reno?

Hey, Kelly, what up?

I don't know if you should be seen in town.

Well, I gotta go in there and get some parts for my bike.

Well, if it's just a drive belt, I can get that for you.

I'm afraid I've found some other problems.

It's your scalp.

Sorry if I created problems between you and Ned.

Oh, please.

There's nothing but problems between me and Ned.

In fact, there's nothing between me and Ned, period.

He doesn't seem to think so.

Well, I can't help what he thinks.

You know, you don't strike me as a country girl.

I'm not.

Derry in Connecticut.

Tennis club, sailboat, Volvo, the whole package.

But after my husband died, I knew that I needed a change.

How did he die?

He was murdered.

Town's right up here.

bike shop.

Speed and Speed's just past the county building, so I'll see you in five.

Got it.

What's going on? They say somebody's landed a ball. Where?

Back there in the county building.

It's really okay. It's a little grape.

You hear any details on the news? Not much.

Police are calling it terrorism.

Then they're probably thinking it's us.

Do you have any suspects yet?

You know, you ask a lot of questions for somebody who's just an innocent

bystander. You got a point, friend?

You bet I do.

You've been nothing but trouble since the moment you showed up. First the

now this.

All bad news.

You saying I planted that bomb?

I'm saying I can alibi every person in this room except you.

I can clear out in ten minutes.

You will not.

You guys should have seen him. He walked right into that explosion to try and

help me.

Kelly, obviously the cops are after him for some reason.

Oh, since when did we start believing the cops?

Really, Ned.

We started kicking out everyone the government was after. There wouldn't be

anyone left.

Visits in one day?

That blast at the donut shop?

What were you this morning between the hours of 8 and 11 a .m.? This about the

explosion? Answer the question.

If I'm a suspect, charge me and read me my rights. If not, I suggest you move

on. Well, now, I don't know anyone else in this county that's got a grudge

against the government except you folk.

Just because we're willing to say what we believe doesn't mean that we would

blow up a building.

But you might help somebody who would.

Is the charge conspiracy?

In that case, we are constitutionally entitled to... Cut the lawyerese, all

right?

I'm not accusing any of you. I just want to know whether or not you've seen Reno

Raines. Who?

The fugitive we were hunting last night. The one on the motorcycle.

Is he a suspect?

Yes, ma 'am. He certainly is.

Jamie said she saw a guy in a motorcycle leaving town this morning on the

interstate.

But she didn't get a good look at him.

You're awfully quiet, Ned.

Keeps me out of trouble.

You seen the fugitive?

Yeah, I have.

On Interstate 5, like Jamie said, I think he was headed east.

Much obliged.

Listen, Reno, I'm worried about your partner.

Well, don't be. The cops are gone for now.

Well, maybe I should run up there and try to bail you out.

Well, you said it yourself.

This is no time to surface.

Well, that was before somebody decided to blow up the county building, which,

the way, they're trying to blame you for.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Look, I want you to run some names for me. All right, hold it.

All right, go ahead.

Peter Bankrock, Kelly Anderson, and Ned Cochran. You mean to tell me you think

that your new peace -loving friends are in on this?

I don't know what to think.

Well, I'm not much of a cook, but I can set a mean table.

That's Jane's job.

Pretty organized, aren't you?

We have to be.

Although tonight we are one man short because nobody's seen Ned since the cops

left. I'll do my best to fill in.

Billy, here, grab an onion.

Start weeping.

Sorry, I asked.

If you dip the knife in water, it helps.

No, I don't think anything is going to help him.

What's that?

Well, I was in the post office today minding my own business when I saw this.

His name is Reno Raines, not Vince Black, and he's wanted for murder.

I am wanted for murder, but I'm innocent.

I was framed by a cop, a federal marshal.

Cheaters never prosper, and the meek shall inherit the earth.

I was screwed by the system.

If anybody can understand that, it's you people.

No, you don't understand. We've worked hard enough to stay clear of the law

without having your type. Ned!

He is our type.

We are not murderers.

It's innocent until proven guilty around here, unless you'd like to change our

charter. Look, I'm not a farmer and I'm not a cook, but I used to be a pretty

decent cop.

Now I can take some of the heat off of you people by finding out who blew up

that building.

It's not much of a contribution, but it's a start.

It's a great start.

It's pretty risky given your current status with Uncle Sam.

It's a risk I'm willing to take.

I'm really sorry about Ned.

You can't blame him. You know, he did right by the farm, checking me out.

Yeah, well, maybe, but he did it because he's jealous of you and me.

Ned has had it worse than all of us. I don't know what he was exposed to in the

Persian Gulf, but whatever it was, it screwed up his health big time.

Mustard gas?

God only knows. I mean, the government denied everything, of course, but he has

been in and out of hospital since the day he got back.

Looks pretty good now.

Well, that's after six months of fresh air and no chemical toxins.

This healthy lifestyle can cure a person of anything.

Why'd you stand up for me today?

Because you're kind.

I mean, kind like in the old -fashioned way.

Kin.

Family.

It's hard to believe you were ever a cop.

You know...

Making a go of this kind of lifestyle takes a certain kind of person.

Someone who's willing to make a commitment.

Put down roots.

I don't run because I want to.

I run because I have to.

Maybe you don't have to run anymore.

I thought you were going to check in an hour ago.

Well, I had to finish my chores.

Chores? How quaint. What kind of chores?

Chop some wood, clean out the barn.

I think country living is finally getting to your brain.

Maybe it is.

Listen, I need you to check up on a few more things for me.

What for?

Well, you know, these people pride themselves on their back -to -nature

lifestyle, but there's a problem.

Which is?

I saw some fertilizer, and I was pretty sure that it was chemical, not organic.

I've got to take a closer look.

Well, forget about truth in advertising, Reno.

Your friends have bigger problems than that.

What, did something come up on their background checks?

Nothing came back on their background checks. All their records have been

scrubbed. It's as if they never existed.

Maybe they want to be anonymous.

Yes, but the question is why.

I'll get back to you.

I can't believe this.

They've been spying on us.

Well, someone blew up that building.

And I swore to you and everyone else that I'd find out who it was. So you ran

background checks? And came to you when I had something.

Look, all the records of all the people that work on this farm have been

scrubbed clean.

There's a pretty sophisticated cover -up that someone had to have masterminded

from here.

It was.

Then you know about it?

Of course I know about it.

I did it.

You? Yep.

I've got an Intel mainframe set up here with a bootleg non -tracking modem.

Our own server and... Wait a minute.

I thought you were a nurse.

Well, I was.

But I got fed up with suffering and took up programming.

Turned out I had a real flair. So you wiped out everyone's IDs?

Yep. It's the only way to keep the government from sticking its big nose

it doesn't belong.

As a matter of fact, while you were running a background check on us, I was

running one on you.

And before you ask, no, I cannot scrub out your records, too. Your vital signs

are online from coast to coast.

What do you mean?

What I mean is somebody wants you real bad.

That stuff will kill you.

I thought everything grown here was organic.

We cheat.

Sue us.

Kelly said you can't tolerate anything that's inorganic. The only thing I can't

tolerate... Is you.

Oh, hey.

Aren't you boys a little old for two -yard brawls?

He's after us, Peter.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's still a cop and all this wanted stuff is just a

cover. If I was a cop, I'd have the both of you turned in for building bombs

here.

You're crazy.

One thing Oklahoma City taught us is that all you need to blow a building sky

high is a truckload of fertilizer and a firing cap.

I'm impressed.

I say we shoot him now.

Why? Because you're jealous of Kelly and me?

This isn't about Kelly.

That's the first thing you said makes sense.

Look, I've got as many gripes for the feds as you do.

Bigger ones, maybe.

I doubt that.

Don't listen to him, Peter. As soon as he walks out that door, he's going to

blow the whistle on us.

No, I won't.

Because I want in.

No, no, no, no. Just listen to what Peter has to say.

Oak Knoll Farm is a true republic.

Well, if you've got it so good, why take the risk of getting caught building

bombs? Because we need protection.

The federal government doesn't tolerate it when people empower themselves.

I don't buy it, Peter.

I think it's personal with you.

I was a federal prosecutor, fighting for truth, justice, and the American way.

After spending two years trying to nail a dealer on drug and murder charges, the

DEA told me to drop it.

Said he was a trusted informant.

Well, when I refused, the IRS called a bogus audit on me. Said I'd been

on my taxes.

They even had me arrested.

Finally, I beat it.

But not until I lost my house, my license, and eventually my wife and

What about Kelly?

Her husband was a defense contractor.

Discovered kickbacks to certain congressmen.

His car crashed on his way to testify.

They said it was DUI, only her husband didn't drink.

Incredible. Jane was arrested for trying to homeschool her kids.

They put her children in a foster home.

Tommy was a post -traumatic stress reject from the VA.

Ned here?

Yeah, I know about Ned.

Would you give us a minute?

I wish there was an easier way to fight the battle.

But they're going to come for us, and they're going to come hard.

You don't know that.

Who fired first at Waco?

The Fed.

Ruby Ridge.

The FBI opened fire.

Killed an innocent woman.

It is pretty scary.

You take up our cause, your days as a fugitive are over.

You'll have family and a purpose.

Then when do we start?

You're crazy.

It's against everything that he stands for.

Everything we believe in.

Look, Kelly, it's just Bancroft, Ned, and a couple of the others.

I wanted to warn you.

About what? That this whole place is a sham?

That my boy is just as likely to get blown to bits here as in L .A.? Kelly, I

want you and Brad to get out of here while you still can.

Please. I believed in you.

But you're just like all outsiders.

You can't let something this good live.

Come on. You can't stand there and tell me that you honestly believe that.

I don't know.

How long will it take you and Brad to pack a suitcase?

Give me half an hour.

I don't know. I think the middle of the afternoon's a little risky.

There's no point in blowing up an empty building.

We stick with noon.

You're going to get me those blueprints, right?

Am I interrupting anything?

No. Well, nothing that can't wait.

Budget's up.

Then could I talk to you for a minute in private?

Of course.

Gentlemen, would you excuse us?

You know how much I love this place.

I mean, it's my home, my family.

But I just feel like I need some time away.

What's wrong, Kelly?

I don't know.

Maybe it's the bombing that's got me crazy or the cops showing up.

You think I was involved in the bombing, don't you?

No, of course not.

I've heard the rumors, too, that someone's accusing me.

But I didn't think that you...

Peter, I know that you're innocent.

But I have to think about my child. I mean, we all know how these situations

turn into firestorms.

Kelly, if you're uncomfortable, you should leave.

I just hope you'll come back soon.

Me too.

Can you please, for the sake of the community, tell me who's starting these

rumors?

Peter... It's Reno Raines, isn't it?

I am so sorry.

That I brought him here. This is all my fault.

No, no. You were right to help him, and now you're right to come to me.

What are you going to do?

Well, it's not for you to worry about.

You just go and pack.

You have yourself and your son to take care of.

I believed in him, Peter.

I did, too.

Bobby, I don't know where you are, but you better get up here fast.

You're telling me. Is everyone in on it? No.

Bancroft was and Cochran.

Most of these people have no idea what he's up to.

Oh, and you do?

Tried to put a uniform on.

Wants me in a starting lineup.

Is there going to be another bombing?

You got it. Any details?

Not yet, but once they get Brad and Kelly out of here, I was thinking about

Kalich's case.

Remember our plan on that one?

Yes, I remember. It's a personal favorite of mine. Listen, I'm on my way.

Kelly?

Perfect timing, Reno.

You think Kelly?

She's right over here.

If you carry out your assignment, Kelly and the boy can leave unharmed.

And I'm supposed to believe that?

What's your choice?

So what's your target this time?

The Bureau of Land Management in Canister. Not in broad daylight.

At the height of business, in fact.

There must be hundreds of people there.

685 to be exact.

And this time, there won't be any evacuation.

You know what to do.

You do the honors.

Right down there.

Okay, Mr. Wizard, do your thing.

Oh, no, no, no.

You're gonna do it.

Well, excuse me, but I never read the Anarchist Cookbook.

Well, don't worry about it. I'll walk you through it step by step.

That way, if anything goes wrong, only the fingerprints of the wanted Reno

Raines will be on the device.

Now then, all right.

Red wire to orange.

Orange wire to yellow.

It's got a fail -safe, so I'll get it just right.

Otherwise, we're a vapor trail.

Very good.

Okay.

Green to blue.

And blue to purple.

Set the timer.

How long?

Three minutes should do it.

Three minutes?

It doesn't leave us much time.

Less chance it'll get found and fewer people get evacuated.

Freeze!

FBI, you're under arrest.

Hey, uh, take it easy, man.

We're working on the air conditioning.

Want to see our work orders?

No, I want you to get up against that wall right there. Now move.

You know, there are some days when I really hate this job.

Go, Ned! Ned, go pick up! Tell them I did a good job! Hurry! Hurry!

Good job. Coast is clear.

Wait a minute. That's a bomb. I'm going to let you handle this.

Don't you go anywhere.

Well, come on. Do something.

I'm thinking. Go ahead. Take your time.

If you didn't know, there's a million dollar bounty on the guys who blew up

post office.

I would like to live long enough to spend it.

Do you mind?

Okay. It was the colors of the rainbow backwards.

The last color was purple.

Here we go.

Last one.

Safe.

You're under arrest.

Wait a minute, there's been a big mistake.

I got him down here. This guy just saved your town.

You got the wrong guys.

Well, I don't know about him, but you're definitely the man I want.

Well, wait a minute.

Well, if you have any more business to attend to here, sir. No, let's go.

Hey, man, they coming?

Not yet, but they will be. Well, how far does it park?

By a road about four miles, and the crow flies about two.

Ah, the crow is my spirit host.

This way.

And that's the news for this hour. Here's Tonya with a look away.

And it's going to be a beautiful day, Caster.

I'm telling you, I'd have to blow him by now. He wired it just right and started

the sequence.

Then where's the coverage?

It's going to come on the air.

Let him go, Peter. I mean, the last thing he said was to tell you he did his

job. Well, I'll be the judge of that.

Kelly's one of us, Peter. Come on.

Wait a minute.

We had an agreement about Kelly.

Let's not let sentiment get in the way of the cause.

Now, Bobby.

You okay?

I'm so sorry.

Later.

Get easy.

And Dan's alone.

It always comes to this.

Ain't that the truth? Except for one thing.

You gave me your ammunition, remember?

I gave you my clip, not the one in the chamber.

You're lying.

You want a chance at it?

Come on, man.

Die for the cause?

I knew you couldn't pull the trigger.

You don't open that door in the next few seconds.

We're coming in!

Get up there.

My name is Robert Sixkiller. California bounty hunter's license, A55162775.

Where's Raines?

Where's the other guy? What other guy? I don't know what you're talking about.

Your bus should come by in about an hour. Oh, I almost forgot. You'll be

this.

It's called money. They use it out here.

I can't accept that.

Yeah, you can.

My partner accepted a huge windfall from bankrupting the others.

And your dreams were kicked in the teeth, so I think that deserves some

compensation. Come on.

You're not going to let me say I'm sorry, are you?

Sorry? For what?

For giving me a glimpse of what a real home was like?

There's only a couple of days, but I'd never trade it.

Neither would I.

Take care of your mom, all right?

I will.

Thanks.
