Next time, I'm going to ride you out to Spencer Lake.

There's a real pretty waterfall out there you can slide down in the

Sounds like fun.

We'll do something again real soon.

Hey!

Did you see that?

Where are you going?

Saying goodbye here.

Listen, Hank's giving you trouble. Let me handle Hank.

Because if he is...

And you're a lot more handsome when you're not so angry.

Have a good day.

Pamela Pandora.

Pandia?

You folks thinking about names for the babies?

They ain't trying real hard. But this will help them. Thanks, Mr. Bray.

That's 75 cents for the shirt and a penny for the candy.

and nasty -looking scratches.

We got a fine doctor here in town.

Where do I get hot grub?

Folks get food at Grace's. That's over there by the livery.

I told you what each name means. Like Brian, it means strong.

I looked that one up already.

What's it say about Matthew?

Matthew.

Matthew.

Give from God.

I see this.

Afternoon. We're going to wait for Michaela.

Thanks, babe.

Oh, and what does Ma's name mean?

I can't find it.

It's probably with the boys' names.

Under Michael.

Here it is.

Like an angel.

Sounds like Ma. What about me?

Colleen.

Just go.

I told you, these eggs are cold.

I'll just get some fresh.

Nah, if you ain't eating no biscuits, it's no great.

Hey, mister.

Hey, don't you try nothing, boy.

Get down.

You back off, I'm warning you. Stay calm.

Nobody wants any trouble.

I wasn't scared.

I knew you and Matthew could stop him.

Why do you think he was so mad?

It looked to me like he'd been drinking.

Things are changing now. The town's growing.

More and more strangers coming and going.

Martha's Colorado Springs could be as big as Boston someday.

Hey, Rosemary.

Where were you today? We read our stories.

Rosemary? That Jason Hart girl?

Yeah.

She missed school today.

What's wrong with her?

I don't know.

Better go get your ma.

What happened?

Rosemary, I'm going to help you.

Come in here, I'll take you to the clinic.

Jason, you forgot your apples.

I'd forget my hat if it wasn't stuck to my hat.

Thank you.

Isn't that your girl?

Rosie?

What happened to you?

Just showed up at school and got an exam.

Rosemary?

Rosie?

Why aren't you talking?

Let Dr. Mike take a look at her.

Jason, I promise I'll speak to you as soon as I know.

She's in good hands.

I've never seen her this way.

Ben and I left before sunup. She says she was going to walk herself to school.

Where's your boy now?

Benny, the delivery.

I'll go get him for you. Matthew and I will ride out to your place to take a

look.

Rosemary, we need to take this off so we can help you.

What?

Colleen, perhaps you should wait outside with me.

Ben.

Rosemary, she's going to be all right?

Her physical injuries don't appear too serious, but... So I'd like to see her

for a few days.

You're welcome to stay here with her.

Well, now, if she ain't so bad, why is she walking around like she's sleeping?

Rosemary's reacting to a terrible trauma.

Your daughter...

He's been assaulted by a man.

A baby girl?

Are you sure?

I gave him a thorough examination.

Did she tell you he'd done this?

Brian, would you help me in the door, please?

Mary was having trouble with math.

She was going to come over tomorrow with Becky to study.

How can somebody do this to her?

How can somebody be so cruel?

I hope they get whoever did this.

need to bother.

My husband's dead.

Judith, why don't you come with me now?

They'll look after Taylor.

What happened?

Found Judith on the road looking for help.

She said a stranger rode in, shot Taylor, robbed their place.

She was in the barn. Only saw the killer from far away as he was leaving.

Do you think it's him? The one who hurt Rosemary?

Rose, my heart was raped.

Strangers. The one I arrested, he had scratches on his face.

Wake up!

Where were you this morning?

Hey! I'm talking to you! I'm sleeping!

Where'd you get those scratches on your face?

Prison discharge papers.

His name's Johnny Reed.

Served three years for stabbing a man.

Released last week.

That's Taylor's watch.

He's the one who killed my husband.

That's all I need.

Let's hang him.

Hold on. Quiet down.

I'm going to wire for a district judge.

He'll get a trial.

Old Lady Logan's crying.

Judge is using her to sit down.

And now he's talking to Reed.

I'd advise you to heed my suggestion.

I'm offering you one last chance for counsel, Mr. Reed.

Well, before I pass judgment, have you nothing to say in your defense?

I was a Colorado volunteer with Colonel Chivington.

Fought at Sand Creek protecting all your butts from them hostiles.

And this is the thanks you get me.

He ain't even sorry for what he done.

Hanging's too good for you.

Sit down, young man.

For the murder of Taylor Logan and the rape of Rosemary Hart,

I find you guilty.

Ladies and gents, we're going to have ourselves a hanging.

Colin, what's wrong?

Everybody's so happy about it.

Darn right.

He's going to pay for what he's done to Rosemary.

Don't you want him to pay?

Of course I do.

Reed's going to meet his maker.

You reach the hangman in Denver.

These are the specifications for the gallows he'll expect.

We've got to build gallows.

Well, no self -respecting hangman would use a tree.

It's too messy.

It's been a pleasure, Derek.

Well, I have a train.

Thank you, sir.

Get up, Reed.

We're going.

There need no gallows before.

They would take care of him right now.

It does seem like a waste of good wood. We're going to hang him proper, as the

judge ordered.

I can't figure what difference it's going to make. A lynching's bad for

business, Hank.

I'd hate to see that kind of blemish on the reputation of our fair town.

He's right.

We do this hanging legal, folks are going to see just how civilized we got.

People might even want to come and see for themselves.

And that would be good for business.

Let's get out of here.

A thousand people came to see that hanging at Camden Falls.

I hope you're not thinking about stopping this hanging like before.

Start making speeches.

You wanted to hang a boy for stealing food.

You won't get any fight from me.

It's only temporary, Brian.

Cheers, son.

See ya. Go.

See ya.

Mom.

Colleen, you're very quiet. Are you all right?

Sure.

Yeah.

Worried about Colleen.

I think she's more upset about Rosemary than she's letting on.

Maybe she just can't talk about it yet.

She'll come to you when she's ready.

Good morning, Michaela.

Sally. Lodge.

Well, I think that's all the wood we need.

She should go up in no time. She?

Term of endearment, I assure you.

Actually, it's quite rewarding to see the town pull together like this.

I've got to get this to Robert E.

All the men in town are doing their civic duty.

contributing a few hours to build the gallows.

Let me count on your help, sir.

Nope.

What is this aversion to serving justice?

I don't think for my husband, Mr. Lodge, you should be asking yourself.

Well, good day, Michaela.

Michaela? One, darling.

Are you all right?

Oh, I'm fine.

Excuse me.

I never expected I'd see the day this town would build one of those.

The way the word's written, three days off and we're all ready.

Families camped out at the creek.

But it's a good thing, though.

Folks will know that we're a decent, law -abiding town now.

We'll all be a whole lot safer.

I wish I could be certain of that.

Morning, Colleen.

Reverend, can I talk to you for a minute before school?

Oh, yes, of course.

Sit down.

I imagine that you're here because of what happened to Rosemary and Mr. Logan.

It is probably so difficult to understand how such horrible things can

people.

How God could let them happen.

He gives us guidance on how to live our lives.

But he also gives us the choice, Colleen.

And sadly, some people always choose the wrong path.

The path of hate and vengeance.

Like Mr. Reap?

I know it can never change the hurt that's been caused.

But one day, Mr.

Reed will have to face God's judgment for his actions.

And God's commandments are very clear in this matter.

Thou shalt not kill.

I won't keep out nobody wanting to get in, but...

It's going to slow him down.

I'd feel a lot better if I had a deputy.

Just if it's all over.

I don't trust many men.

I'd ask Dolly, but I need someone here in town.

I'm sorry, Matthew. I can't help you.

I ain't saying that man in there don't have to do what's coming to him.

Just figure I've already seen my filler.

How's that building come along?

Hope them gallows is right.

You didn't have no oil, would you?

I ain't interested in talking to you, Reed.

Yeah, why's that, Sheriff?

Take an excuse for a man.

I don't know.

That sweet, young schoolgirl might say different.

I think she kind of fancied me.

Should have seen the way she carried on.

What's the matter?

Jealous?

Hey, Sarah.

She was sweet.

There.

That should feel better.

Your father brought one of your dress.

Perhaps later I can help you into it.

You ever going to get better?

I believe she will.

I saw a similar reaction to trauma on the ward during the war.

And over time, most men were able to return to normal life.

How much time?

I can't say, but I do believe it's time for Rosemary to go home.

Perhaps familiar surroundings will help her.

At some point, it probably would be wise to have a woman around.

For Rosemary to talk to someone she can feel safe with.

And you'll need to watch out for pregnancy.

She was always a strong one.

Even when her mom died, she... Seeing her like this...

Dr.

Quinn, I'll do whatever you tell me.

Whatever it takes to get my girl back.

I think you had enough, Ben.

I'm just going home now.

Why don't you tell me what I need?

Why don't you accept your guy, Shane?

You think any man's gonna want to look at her now?

Ever?

Well, I know exactly what I need.

But we got ourselves a town full of dinking cowards.

He's going to get what he's got coming. He's still alive.

My sister, she don't even talk no more.

You're letting that animal breathe air.

Because we got to be all night city night.

Let a stranger come into our town, take care of our business.

It was you, Paul.

Are your sisters spoiled?

We wouldn't be waiting for nobody.

Rita would be dancing from the trees right now.

He's gonna be hung on Friday, all right? Everybody's gonna get him!

I

told

you to stay out of the way.

We might as well be soon.

But not like this.

Hank!

No! Hank!

You can't!

Hank! Stop it! No!

It's our time to get this done the right way.

I figure we ought to be back at it.

I think it's breaking up.

Thank you.

You're bleeding out right after Dr. Mike.

No.

It's a flesh wound.

Let it sleep.

Matthew, open up.

Are you all right?

I'm all right.

We've got the lynch mob.

Robert, he helped break it up.

Nope, he got hurt.

Thank God for that.

Who's behind it?

He's been shot.

Did this happen last night?

Ben Hart didn't feel like waiting.

Say, is there blame?

Why didn't you send for me?

Didn't want to bother you.

You'll be dead tomorrow.

Unlock the cell, please.

That ain't such a good idea.

Dolly, I have no choice. He's suffering.

Is he suffering?

Like he made Rosemary suffer?

Like he made Logan?

Well, Ma Paula felt that hanging at Camden Falls.

Says it weren't pretty.

Well, that's why they cover the face of the pillow sheet.

Do we have to talk about this?

Oh, right.

Can't upset the girl.

Colleen can handle it. She's tough.

It's not funny. Somebody's going to die tomorrow.

Good morning, class.

I apologize for my tardiness, but I was paying a visit to Rosemary Hart.

When will she be back to class?

I'm afraid Rosemary won't be returning to class for some time now.

Her father's taken her to Denver. She has an aunt there.

I'm supposed to remind you that there is no school tomorrow.

Although I'm sure that the occasion hasn't slipped many of your minds.

It ain't good news.

A hangman in Denver got thrown from his horse, broke his leg. He recommends this

hangman in St. Louis, but he can't come till the end of the month.

Nobody's gonna wait that long.

I'd be happy to oblige. No.

I'll do it.

Matthew, no one expects you to... I'm the law.

It should be me.

Sure you're up to it? Sure.

The hangin' will be tomorrow.

As scheduled, 12 noon.

You might want to think that through.

You can wait for someone else.

As long as it's legal.

Doesn't matter who does it.

You don't have to wash these tonight.

No, I want to.

I know this has been a difficult time for you.

With Rosemary and all that's happened.

And even though you're concerned for your friend, it's perfectly natural.

You would think about how easily it could have been you.

That ain't it.

Then what?

I don't know.

Maybe it's what we're doing about it.

What do you mean?

Killing him.

Colleen, as harsh as hanging may seem to you, we have laws.

People have to be accountable for their actions. But you want to kill him too,

just like everybody else. I want him punished.

The Reverend is always saying how being vengeful is bad.

You're all going to do the same thing he did.

Hey. Emma.

Sure. God, it's great to fix up a big tray.

I figured you'd be hungry.

Thank you.

I have my thought about food.

You sure what everybody's saying?

You're the one doing it?

I got that.

Ever killed anybody before?

This ain't killing.

Want

something to

eat, mister?

I've got some fried chicken and cornbread.

Fried chicken?

My mama used to make fried chicken.

Where's your mama now?

My mama.

Matthew, what are you doing?

I don't want you doing that.

What? Over, Matthew.

Tomorrow.

What harm is going to come from giving him some food?

He is a monster.

There but for the great, Grandma.

My grandma used to say that to me.

There but for the grace of God.

What are you saying?

It means Mr. Reed probably never had no family loving him like yours.

There's no excuse we're done.

Emma.

Emma!

Keep me up.

Actually, it's... It's Colleen and you.

Me? You don't approve of what they're doing tomorrow, do you?

I hang and know.

Why didn't you say anything?

Because I don't have a need to change the way folks think about things.

You do, and that's good.

But it ain't me.

How you feel and what you think, it matters to me.

Very much.

It wasn't so long ago the army was going to execute me.

You were taking a stand.

This man's a murderer, Sully.

He'll do it again without even blinking.

It's why we got prisons.

And when he gets out again?

We don't let him out. We could do that if we wanted.

What if he escaped?

Then you build better prisons.

Look, if you're asking me... To give you a guarantee, I can't do that. I'm just

saying there's other ways.

Folks think they're going to feel all better after he's dead.

Ben Hart thinks it's going to take away his hating.

Revenge, you don't taste so sweet.

You think that's what I want, revenge?

I want our family protected.

Michaela, when he was pointing that gun, if he would have hurt you, I would have

killed him right there with my bare hands. I know, I got it in me.

It could have been me or Colleen.

The point is, you can't hurt anybody now.

And tomorrow, when Matthew puts that noose over his head,

Reed's hands are going to be tied behind his back, and he ain't going to be

pointing a gun.

No, hanging's the only way we can be sure.

I want our children to be safe.

Safe from men like that.

Handbag ain't the same as dropping something live.

Better be sure you set the knot right.

Go sliding around, you got a man kicking and gasping for half an hour.

What do you care?

I want the customers to lose their mood for drink.

Look, Matthew.

You're going to need somebody helping you tomorrow.

And I reckon I'm about the only one who knows what they're doing.

Change your mind.

Time to be on our way.

We'll be thinking about you.

Don't worry about school, Rosemary.

I'll help you catch up when you get back.

Make yourself useful, Sheriff.

Give me my new shirt.

Look at you.

You ain't hardly wet behind the ears and they think you can do a man's job

today.

Watch me read.

I knew this would come in handy.

It's me, Matthew.

I was wondering if I might spend some time with your prisoner.

You look a little pale, Matthew.

You feeling all right?

I'm fine.

Come to save my soul.

I suppose that's up to you.

Heard you were looking for me.

I'll be needing a deputy today.

I thought you'd never ask.

Do I get a badge?

Hang is at noon.

Be at the jail early.

As soon as I'm finished here, I'll get started on them lamps.

What are you studying, Connie?

Just history.

This time is right.

Get up, Reed.

Turn around and put your hands behind your back.

The laptop.

Okay.

Are you sure you're up to this?

The doctor needs to provide the death.

Here you go.

Come

on.

Bye.

Johnny Reed, you're ordered by the Colorado Territory to be hung by the

until dead.

You got final words you better say now.

Get it done.

Be in hell.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no

evil, for thou art with me.

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.

Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will

dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Amen. Amen.

Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee,

even though it be a cross that raiseth

me, still all my song shall be.

Matthew, don't!

Damn, I didn't think you had it in.

First drinks are on the house.

Congratulations, Sheriff.

You've made this town proud.
