What's all this?

Building supplies.

For what?

Their new hotel.

We start working it today.

Where'd you get the money?

Cashed in the gold nugget my pa gave me. Just about covered the expenses with a

little left for celebrating.

Where are you going to build this hotel?

My saloon.

Going to fix it up. Put up a big sign.

Jake and Hank's Gold Nugget Saloon and Hotel.

Hank and Jake's Gold Nugget Saloon and Hotel.

Jake and Hank sounds better.

It's my saloon. My name ought to come first. It was my gold nugget paid for

So I figured much.

Mr. Bray, I'm in need of some nails. Nails?

What, are you building a hotel, too?

A fence.

All right.

Come on with me.

It's from Emma.

She finally met up with Gilda St.

Clair and they're on their way to London. London, that's wonderful.

I'm glad she took the job.

It's what was best for both of us.

You should know, Mr. Gormley, that this is a reputable institution, managing all

the assets of this town.

Now, by coming to work here, you'll be taking responsibility for the next

generation of its citizens.

Will you be able to accept that?

As my father said to me, do not lift the load unless you're prepared to carry it

the distance. Now, you must ask yourself, am I prepared to carry the

Well, speak up.

Are you?

Gentlemen, may I help you?

You can start by opening the safe.

Move. Now.

All right, come on.

I'll get it.

Get over here.

All right, open it up. Come on.

Hurry up.

Walk nice and easy to the back.

We'd love to have you out to the hospital dinner tonight.

Oh, I can't.

Lauren's got a shipment of goods coming in on the late train, and I promised him

I'd help unload.

How about tomorrow night?

I just want to be sure that you're eating properly.

Uh -huh, and I'm dressing warm, too.

Who's that?

I haven't seen him before.

We'll go find out.

You have to be careful.

Yes, Ma.

Get the rip. Move it.

Here.

There it is. Just beneath the clavicle.

Well, it's lodged between the pleura and the subclavian artery.

Am I correct?

No, the lung's not punctured.

I'll remove the bullet.

The debiliter. The artery.

Small tear. The bullet must have grazed it.

The fraction of an inch either way.

Any news here?

Still operating.

I can't believe this happened in our own town.

Anyone got a look at the ones who've done it? I saw them.

They're known as the Starrett Gang.

I just made some inquiries.

Apparently these outlaws have been robbing banks all along the Santa Fe

A $1 ,000 reward has just been issued for their capture.

$1 ,000?

Dozens of marshals, sheriffs, and bounty hunters have been tracking them for

months now.

I hope they catch them soon.

They should have been caught today at my bank. And they would have been if this

town had a sheriff. This town has a sheriff.

A real sheriff, Sully.

One that's capable of doing the job.

He's lost a lot of blood.

But in time, he should fully recover.

I'm going to need to order some bath stuff.

What for?

For the guests.

You've got to know Preston's Hotel is going to offer hot baths. What we need

a billiard table. The Preston's Hotel don't got one of them.

The money is running out, Hank.

I don't think we can afford hot baths and a billiard table.

So you'll get us some more money.

How? You heard Preston.

Reward for the third king's a thousand dollars.

We can't go running off and expect to open our hotel before Preston's.

So you stay here.

I'll go after him.

Alone?

Not alone.

I'll take along a friend.

Judd Pope.

He's two of your six.

All this time I feared that something like this would happen.

And now... We came so close, Billy. We almost lost him. We didn't.

What about the next time?

Kayla, we have been over this.

Matthew's a babe. She's a man.

He's made his choice.

Perhaps this will make him reconsider that choice.

Maybe.

Let's just get him healed first.

The town council will want to appoint a temporary sheriff to replace him.

I'll keep an eye on things for him.

Just till he gets better.

You, Sully?

You don't strike me as the sheriff type.

Like I said, Preston, it's only temporary.

Yeah. But while you're keeping an eye on things, will you be prepared to assume

the responsibility that comes with the office?

Because that's what this town needs.

Someone who's willing to do whatever is necessary to get the job done.

Preston!

Here. I got this rifle you were looking for.

Ain't she a beauty?

52 caliber sharps. Knock a buffalo clear off its feet at a thousand yards.

It'll do nicely.

You plan on going after those outlaws?

That's right.

By yourself?

I'd ask the sheriff to come along, but I doubt he's fit for travel.

Ooh.

Look at that.

I don't believe it.

That's Elias Birch.

Who? U .S. Marshal. I got books about him in my store.

Why, the man's a living legend.

They say he's killed over a hundred men.

Wait, wait, wait.

Is the sheriff here?

No, he's been wounded.

Where can I find him? I need to ask him a few questions.

Matthew, this man is a U .S. Marshal. He'd like to ask you some questions

the robbery.

Who are you, Birch?

Have we met?

Every lawman in the country knows who you are.

Matthew Cooper.

About the gang that robbed the bank in town.

How many men were there?

I don't know. I only saw two when I went in.

You went in without knowing how many you were up against.

I didn't know it was a robbery.

I only saw a man through a window.

Tall, with a mustache and a scar under his right eye?

That's him.

Jed Starrett.

There were four of them. I told them to leave the bank.

Are you tracking them?

All the way from California.

I'm going after them, too.

As soon as I get out of here.

It'll be some time. You need to get some rest.

You listen to the doc, Sheriff. You stay in bed and let me handle the Starrett

gang.

Is it true you killed a hunter, man?

Where'd you hear that?

I read some of the books I wrote about you.

That's too bad.

Well, I started Sunday, Teresa.

Hola, Brian.

How is your brother?

Doing better.

Ma says he just needs a lot of rest.

He'll be as good as new.

Are you hungry?

Sure. Got any tortillas?

For you, Brian.

Always.

I came out here to see if you'd need some help with the fence.

That is very kind of you, Gracias.

De nada.

How's it coming along?

Slowly. I was hoping to complete the work by next week, but now I am hoping

before Easter.

My husband was to build the fence when he finished the shearing pen.

He was always building, always working.

I have never lifted a hammer until this day.

I have none of his skill.

But I will learn, see?

See.

I'll let them workers ruin my swim while I'm gone.

I'll make sure they stick to the plan. Remember, Hank, shoot first, ask

questions later.

Always. Look at that.

You got your work cut out for you if you plan on getting that reward.

I can feed myself, Dr. Mike.

The less you move your arm, the better.

Marshal Birchley?

This morning.

You should be with him.

I'm the sheriff. I got a duty to this town.

It's only been two days, Matthew. You're in no condition to travel. You think I

don't know what people are saying about me?

I can do this job.

Listen to me, Matthew.

That bullet damaged the lining of one of your arteries, leaving it precariously

thin.

Any increased activity or strain could cause the artery to resume bleeding or

possibly even rupture.

But if you stay calm and you rest, in time the artery will strengthen and

And you can do your job.

I need another bottle of sulfur and some carbolic acid. I'll get them.

When did he leave?

Sometime during the night.

I was asleep in the other room. I didn't hear him. Oh.

He won't get far in his condition.

Hopefully we'll find him before he finds that gang.

Maybe he'll meet up with Marshal Birch.

Last thing Matthew needs is a trigger -happy gunfighter to lead him into a

-out.

Don't worry about Brian and Katie. They'll be fine with me.

Hopefully we won't be gone too long.

Thank you, Brian.

Big mistake.

And because of it, you're dead.

What do you mean?

You stopped inside the tree line.

Sound funnels along the water.

People can hear you.

People like me.

Jed Starrett.

Now, if you stay on the other side of the trees, the sound's muffled and

be hid.

I don't want to ride with you.

You're in no condition to be out here.

I won't slow you down.

The people in my town are counting on me.

I ain't turning back.

Curry pie, my favorite.

You sure you won't join me in a slice?

My treat?

No, thanks.

Listen to me, Brian.

Don't worry.

I tell you they're going to bring Matthew home safe and sound.

I just know it.

Workers just cut a hole in the wall for a door.

One small problem.

It was the wrong wall.

Mr.

Heath has been having trouble, too.

She's been trying to build a fence for days now By herself?

Can't afford to hire somebody I went out there a couple days ago to help her

out, but it's tough Especially with those heavy fence posts What she needs

is somebody strong to help her Good luck

You've been doing that a long time.

How much cleaner are you hoping to get it?

Just want to make sure it's working right when we catch up to Starrett.

Did you have a problem with it during the holdup?

I didn't have it with me at the time.

Didn't think carrying a gun was right.

A sheriff without a gun.

I'm surprised you lasted this long.

Well, it's behind me now.

From now on, I'm carrying this with me everywhere.

Is that the gun that killed those hundred men?

It's going to be dark soon. You better get some rest.

We'll be moving at first light.

Preston. What are you doing?

I almost killed you.

What are you doing sneaking up on me like that? I didn't know it was you.

I thought you was a Starrett gang.

But don't tell me you're going after them as well.

I got a lot better chance than you do.

We'll see about that.

Why don't you put those things away now so you don't hurt yourself?

I should have listened to Lauren.

Shoot first, ask questions later.

Hank! Wait a minute.

I think we stand a better chance if we pooled our resources.

You mean ride together.

Two against four, better odds than one.

We split the reward.

Fifty -fifty. Uh -uh.

You can keep it all.

I just want that gang.

Wait.

What is it?

Another marker.

Arrow thing was the last one.

I suppose Matthew made it.

Maybe.

I'm not sure.

Whoever made it wants to know where they went.

What is it?

Ryder's coming.

Dr.

Mike!

Sully, over here!

Matthew?

Mr. Paul, I mean... What are you doing?

What are you doing? Hey!

Let me go!

Hey, Mom, where have you been?

Unlock me.

Unlock me.

Listen to me. I'm not going back.

Let me go.

I'm not going to go.

Is he all right?

I believe so. He's fainted.

You didn't have to do that to him. I thought you wanted him to stay home.

We do.

But getting him upset like that in his condition is far too dangerous.

Exactly.

Your pulse is strong and your color's returning.

I don't see any sign of arterial bleeding.

Can't believe he did that.

You're better off letting Birch go after that gang alone.

I'm going to turn him back now.

Matthew, you're in no condition to be out here.

You've already fainted from exertion.

Any more strain and... Dr. Mike, I gotta do this.

I gotta show the town that I can do this job.

You gotta show the town or yourself.

If I ride back into town now, I'm a men's failure.

And I won't do that.

We're going with you.

What?

I thought he was right. That way I can monitor you more closely.

Make sure you don't do anything too dangerous.

Mrs. Morales?

Mayor Slicker.

Is something wrong?

What?

No, no, no, no. I just... I came out to give you your salary for the month.

Go ahead.

Well,

um... Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Listen, um, I...

I hear you're having some trouble putting up a fence.

Now, if you need some help, I'd be happy to come out.

That is very kind of you, but I am finding my way. Soon I will be finished.

Your slicker's a nice man.

Yes.

Why'd you say no when he offered to help you with the pen?

It would not be proper.

Sometimes it helps to make new friends.

Especially after someone you love dies.

It helped me when my ma died.

I met Dr. Mike.

Then I wasn't so sad anymore.

Listen. He stopped along the stream.

Inside the tree line.

Big mistake.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

There's no sense rushing in right now. It's dark.

They've only got plenty of places to hide.

You stand a better chance of good for first light when they come in before

wake up.

I agree.

I thought you took him home.

I'm changing plans.

Well, I don't want him out here.

You've got no choice.

I'm bringing those men in to stand trial.

Are you listening to me?

I know that look in your eyes. The same one I had when I was your age out on a

posse chasing kidnappers.

I was angry.

Wasn't thinking clear.

I made a mistake that got half the posse killed in a shootout.

That was you.

Not me.

Look, there's no sense in arguing.

We'll all be much better off if we work together.

Stay in here whether you like it or not.

We'll go around and come in from three sides.

Now they're going to go for the guns.

And when they do, we've got to be.

Come on, let's ride.

Move out.

We wait.

They'll be on guard now. We'll follow them until they make camp again.

We should move in now.

No.

You aren't going to wait. They're going to move in. You know they are. If they

do, it's a mistake.

Are you going in?

You're not going in.

Hands in the air, now!

Stay here.

I think I got one.

I don't know why you did.

Come on, we can't let them get too far ahead.

How is it?

Well, it fractured the rib.

From the angle of entry, I don't believe it perforated the lung.

They got away.

I knew they would. As soon as y 'all started shooting, y 'all managed to hit

everything except the gang.

It's been a while since I fired a gun.

It ain't about how to shoot a gun. It's about when not to shoot a gun.

And until you learn that, you'll always be what you are now.

A boy with a badge playing sheriff.

What happens now?

I keep tracking, alone.

You should rest until your ribs heal.

I'll manage.

I've been out to that gang too long to stop now.

I still think I can bring a man without anybody getting hurt.

Sounds kind of strange coming from a man who's killed a hundred men.

Stories.

All that is is stories made up by writers trying to sell books.

Now, this gun ain't never killed nobody.

And the truth be known, ever since the kidnapper shootout, just about every

outlaw I've had to bring in, I've managed to do it without bloodshed.

Learned to use my head.

Learned to think things through and stop barging into dangerous situations.

And most of the time, you can do it without firing a shot.

What you said about me earlier, you were right.

I don't blame you for wanting to ride on alone.

But I want you to give me one more chance to learn what you learned.

Well, come on.

Spurs are still heading north.

My guess is they're heading up this valley. If we cross this ridge here, we

head them off at the river.

What are you doing?

What are you doing, Sully? What are you doing?

Matthew!

Afternoon, Hank. What are you doing, Sully?

Whatever's necessary to get the job done.

Don't worry.

We'll come back for you.

Matthew, undo these!

Sully!

Forget billiards.

What you need is a piano.

Man, piano, music, something to lift the spirits.

I just want to get the place built first. Maybe you could have one of them

shows, you know, the kind where the women dance around, lift their voices in

song, delighting the audiences with the classics of yore.

Hey, Mr. Bray. Jay.

Good to see you, Brian.

How you doing? Good.

Anybody hear anything yet about Ma and Sally? No, but don't worry about it. I'm

sure they'll be back soon.

Miss Teresa told me he offered to help build her fence.

What? I just said I'd stop by is all.

Don't matter anyway because she said no.

She was just being shy.

I know she'd really like it. Came out to help.

Just told her you were passing by.

Thought you'd stop and say hello.

You actually going out there?

Maybe you could go out there this afternoon. I got a lot of work to do.

tomorrow.

Can't wait too long.

It's like Mr. Bray told me once.

He who hesitates is lost.

I said that?

Get close and be quiet.

They're inside.

We'll have to flush them out.

How?

What are we looking for?

We're looking for... Right there.

It's the mayor's chap.

should lead straight down the cave.

Here's how we're going to do this.

There it is.

Sulfur. You need it to treat wounds.

But if ignited, the stench it causes is horrible.

All right.

We'll wait for him down by the entrance.

We'll give you the signal, you drop it in.

And be careful of your wound.

Try not to over -exert yourself.

I'll be all right.

Take them down. You grab their guns.

Gotta work fast.

I'm ready.

Familiar.

So you got yourself a gun.

Mark Boyd.

Drop your gun.

What are you gonna do?

Shoot me?

That's up to you.

Either way, you're coming with me.

Drop it.

Left hand.

On the ground.

Faith down.

And hands out.

Nice work, Sheriff.

We get the others?

I tied them all up.

And without a shot fired.

You're not hitting it square.

Trick is to hit it strong and clean, not tap it.

What are you doing here?

Just passing by, I thought I'd stop in and say hello.

Take me a couple hours to finish this.

That is, if you don't mind me helping you.

If that is what you would like.

Mayor Slicker, are you hungry?

I have made arroz con pollo.

Sure.

Let's go.

Hey, Sheriff.

Got something for you.

I can't take that.

Sure you can.

As long as you remember what you learned out here.

I'll never forget.

You better get going. The sheriff ought to be the one to lead the way into town.

What was that all about?

He wanted to give me.

I suppose he wanted you to have this moment alone.

You earned it.

He got it. I don't believe it.

Congratulations, Matthew.

I'm so proud of you, Sheriff.

Thank you.

Let's go.
