Is that you?

Sheriff.

Oh, sorry, Judge. I didn't recognize you.

I got a new hat.

What do you got for me?

I can see you've been busy.

You can start any time you want.

I'd like to wash up first.

There's a bowl of water in my office.

Court set up in the general store. What happened to the courthouse?

Burned down, along with the hotel.

Saloon didn't burn down, did it? Not yet.

Good. You see to it that it doesn't.

Not till I'm gone anyway.

Will this court now come to order?

Judge John William, good night, presiding.

The last case of the day.

Dugan versus Cassidy.

You Cassidy? I am. And it's an honor to stand before you, sir.

Your reputation precedes you.

Well, what reputation is that?

Word is you've never been wrong on a verdict.

That's true, which I doubt.

Let's hope yours isn't the first.

Well, I'm sure it won't be.

As long as you find me innocent.

Are you related to Mike Cassidy? Not by blood, but he took me in. He's a

generous man. He was a horse thief.

It's not his finest quality, I will admit. Nor is it yours, young man.

Great Territory, Wyoming has a penalty for stealing horses.

It involves a rope.

Well, I do prefer a necktie to a rope, sir.

I assume you're acquainted with Charles Dugan?

I am. I work as a butcher in Rock Springs.

He was a customer. He's accused you of stealing his horse.

I've been accused of many things, Your Honor.

Probably less than half of them are true. I'm interested in the other half.

Mr. Dugan couldn't be with us today. He's the victim of an unfortunate

Yes, I was very sorry to hear about that.

I'm sure you were.

His affidavit states that on the day in question, he was riding his horse and

you grabbed his bridle. To be precise, I actually grabbed the horse's bridle, as

Mr. Dugan was not bridled that day.

You'd make a good lawyer. Thank you. That is not a compliment.

Mr. Dugan's horse was about to throw him, so I intervened as any good

would.

And where is this horse?

Ran off, disappeared, never to be seen again.

How did you get here from Rock Springs?

I rode in on a cow.

Your Honor, I'm not a horse thief.

Do I think you're capable of stealing a horse?

That and more.

You've also exhibited qualities here today that lead me to believe you could

great things, if you choose.

The road you take is yet to be seen.

Fortunately for you, I've had a very long day.

This is my last case.

I sorely need a drink.

That, coupled with the lack of evidence, inspired me to take a chance on you.

You're free to go, Mr.

Cassidy.

Do not disappoint me.

Thank you, Your Honor. And should we meet again, you can call me with the

at the shop. Call me.

Butch.

Welcome back, Judge. Can I pour you a drink?

I would not stop you.

Oh, a letter came for you a few months back, and it looked like a

woman's handwriting.

Did you open that?

Is that legal?

Tampering with the mail? It's a federal offense. I didn't open it.

That's on house.

What is that?

Is that golfing varnish? All the good stuff was bought out by some Cassidy

fella.

Now, I wouldn't blame you if you turned me over to the authorities right now.

Who knows, my husband would roll over in his grave if he knew I was trying to

sell us a bitch.

Well, pardon my being so bold, but if it does what you say it does,

why sell it?

Well, sir, I'm a cocktail woman.

The sin of doing what I'm doing already is sure enough to send me straight to

hell.

But I am a widow now with no means of support.

I would like to go back east to be with my sister and try to pick up a shadow

piece of my life.

A small nest egg would make that possible.

I understand.

Surely.

It's really very simple to operate.

One comes out.

And then the other.

This. It is astounding.

I can't tell the difference.

As I mentioned, the brass can only print two bills every six hours.

You see the plates? I have to drag completely the ink while the muscles

rebalance. Otherwise, the bills come out blurred, discolored.

My husband was working on an express dot transfer system using alcohol -based

inks.

He died for it.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Now, now, my dear.

Everything is going to be all right.

How many of these machines do you have?

Oh, just the one.

So your wife is on her way in.

My wife?

I'm happy to wait here with you the six hours that it takes for the press to

recycle so you can see the quality.

No, no, that won't be necessary. The sooner we conclude our business, the

you can board that train and be with your family.

That was $1 ,000?

I believe we agreed on $2 ,000, sir.

My mistake.

She hasn't, it is.

Oh, thank you kindly.

If I may, a woman alone such as yourself, especially such a beautiful

could be an easy mark for someone.

I would advise you be very careful with all that money.

Oh, I surely will.

You hit me in the game.

How long are you here for this time?

Let's see.

Five hours and 25 minutes.

I'd keep your back to the pink tent by the door.

Shucky, look at that. No.

You keep winning like that, I'll have to accuse you of cheating.

Oh, well, I better stop winning then.

You know, there is an easy way to leave a casino with a small fortune.

Oh, really?

And what is that?

Well, you go in there with a large one.

It's true, Paul.

What a pleasure it is.

I may be back within your glow once again.

I pray the pleasure's all yours.

Perhaps I can join you from the game.

Two unused, beautiful bills.

Courtesy of a widow friend in Fort Collins.

Took money from the widow?

Truth be told, she took me.

Ah.

Fortunately, you look like a man that has more money than he knows what to do.

You're sorely mistaken if you think this is about money.

She's not going anywhere.

She's got my money, mister.

Are you addressing me, sir?

Because if you are, the proper moniker would be Colonel.

Colonel Cyril Knox.

I didn't mean any disrespect, Colonel.

Then you will live another day.

Turn to your game, gentlemen.

This woman has business elsewhere.

Don't do this, girl.

I was a day behind you in that plane.

Only hours now in the portal.

Your trail is littered with the soulless corpses of your would -be boyfriends.

Your victims, of which I am not.

Well, clearly, we have both exercised poor judgment recently.

As soon as I tell you, you've come all the way from Fort Collins.

Why don't I make it up to you?

Oh, God.

It's just $2 ,000. I believe we're even.

Even?

I killed Yankees in the...

I fought the Comanche and the Kiowa, and they left not a scratch on my hide.

Then you take a bottle to my face, and I'm spirited?

Sorry.

Not yet, you're not. But you will be, Harlot.

You were gonna kill me.

Just like you did.

That poor gentleman.

Over an apple, remember?

I wouldn't have killed you then.

I loved you.

wanted for larceny in three states.

It's both forgery, fraud, and landscaping.

Lucy Truffaut, alias Alice Trent, alias Alice Ivers, wanted for larceny, fraud,

landscaping, forgery.

And bribery of a public official.

Well, I never bribed a public official.

Yeah. She's mine, Pinkery.

Connell Knox, isn't it?

I understand you've been looking for Mr. Truffaut for some time, as has the

Department of Justice and the Pinkerton Detective Agency.

Now, it clearly says here on this bill that once she is found, she is to be

brought to Fort Collins and remanded into custody of a federal marshal.

My authority here supersedes your desire in this case.

Now, you are welcome to visit Mr. Foe in Fort Collins Prison in two days' time.

There's no place that you can go that I can't get to.

Well, then, maybe next time I'll just have to take your whole eye.

I'm your prisoner, sir.

Thank you. You probably saved my life back there.

Didn't look like it was going to end well.

How long have you been at Pinkerton?

I was supposed to talk to the detainees, ma 'am.

Got a two -day ride.

Give me an awful lot of not talking.

Thanks, dear.

Goodness. What you must have seen and done all that time.

You're wise, but worry constantly.

No way.

Handsome man like you?

You overestimate me. You underestimate yourself.

I want a poster.

$200 reward.

That's it.

Disappointing. It tells you're a woman.

So I'm not worth as much?

No, ma 'am, you are not.

Well, if you were married, you would quickly realize that a good woman is

equal to a man.

If not, very.

Fine.

Take these cuffs off.

Please.

Well, I'm not going to try to escape.

If I do, you can shoot me.

Orders are to take you in alive.

Just shoot me in the foot, then.

Feel the pinkerton in the driver.

Leave the woman for me.

Oh, fuck!

I'm so sorry.

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot.

You all right?

Yes.

Thanks to you.

I'm afraid I can't say the same for your companion.

Ma 'am, what are you doing traveling with a pinkerton?

My father hired him to escort me to Fort Collins.

I want to see Truffaut.

John, good night.

I was out west buying speculative land for my father's mining company, Superior

Mines of Pennsylvania.

Due to our family wealth, he thought I might be targeted for kidnapping.

Were you robbing him?

I wouldn't blame you if you were.

I'm not robbing him.

Well, it's going to get late.

I think I might be on my way.

I can get you as far as the next town.

Oh, no, I think you've done quite enough already. I'm just going to take one of

their horses.

There were four shooters, ma 'am. I only got two of them.

I'm sure they're long gone by now. I'll be fine.

Given the state of your last escort, I probably should let you ride on alone,

but I'm afraid I can't do that.

Hey, Ruth.

Made a real gentleman out here.

Not sure you have yet.

Where are you from, Mr. Goodnight?

Chicago.

All right.

I'm in a few stops along the way.

You shoot like a lawman.

Or an outlaw, you either one?

Nope.

That's a bit of a relief.

What, an outlaw or a lawman?

Well, lawmen have too many roles and outlaws have none.

I'd like to move somewhere in the middle.

Interesting thoughts for a woman of privilege.

Are you accustomed to many women of privilege?

I'm not in a dress like that.

Fairly a business decision.

Most landowners, gay men, are more inclined to give me a good price before

they're stressed.

We're that predictable, are we?

Sadly, yes.

I noticed you don't have many suitcases. You traveling light?

All my bags have fallen off during the attack.

Well, I have a blanket if you get cold.

Hey.

How long have I been asleep?

See that ball in the sky?

It's the sun.

You rode all night?

Yep. I was in better company.

Well, that works.

Really? Yep. I saw the dead body all the way from Laredo to Laramie.

I don't know how to thank you.

Would you like to reward?

The company's rewarding us.

Very grateful.

Maybe hope to see you again sometime.

What about right now? You can go with me to that sheriff's office right there.

Oh, well, as delightful as that sounds, whatever for.

Because you're the witness to two murders.

Oh, well, I really didn't see much. I'll duck down inside as I was. Sheriff.

But absolutely, if I can help.

John,

good night.

This is Mr. Foe.

Hi, Sheriff.

Um, have we met before?

Surely I'd remember that name.

The coach was ambushed some 50 miles out on the Mormon trail when I happened by.

They killed the driver of that stage and the Pinkerton who was escorting her.

Hired by her father, he's a businessman.

Superior mines in Pennsylvania, right?

That Pinkerton was supposed to escort her to Fort Collins.

Any attackers?

Two rode off, two dead.

Hired guns from the looks of it. Well armed, well paid.

Just for the relatives of the next of kin.

The two that rode off, one was an Apache.

Figure him for a tracker. Everyone seemed to be in charge. Although, Miss

Truffaut may have some alternate theories.

Oh, well, I don't generally equate myself with kidnappers and looters.

I don't know. Of course not.

I'll wire the Pinkerton office and let them know.

Oh. How long do you think it'll take before they get back?

I'd say it could be a day or more. Big Storm back east has been knocking down

the wires.

Well, if there's...

Nothing more I can add. I'd like to buy a few dresses, replace what I've lost.

You do that.

And we're going to be discussing some ugly particulars now.

We wouldn't want to offend your delicate sensibilities.

No. No, no, we wouldn't want to do that.

Whoever killed that Pinkerton did it with a long rifle. They were a hell of a

shot. From the saddle, 100 yards straight through the heart.

Not too many people can shoot like that. I'll put word out.

All right, his body and the driver's in the back of that coach.

Well, I'll take care of them. Good to duck you here, Judge. Appreciate it.

What's the next station?

Where you headed?

Anywhere, except Cheyenne.

Springfield land, due in day after tomorrow.

Better to get here on time.

Nothing sooner?

No, ma 'am.

I couldn't help noticing you're wearing the same dress.

Oh.

Are you interested in women's clothes, Mr. Goodnight?

On and off?

Mostly off, I expect.

That's quite a large plate of food for just one person.

I guess I worked up an appetite to see it in your life.

You know, I know it's a little anxious to get out of the sheriff's office.

I just didn't like how he was looking at me.

Yes, as he doesn't see a lot of women look like you.

Well, how do I look?

Well, to tell you the truth, that's what pain can look at you.

Oh, like looking into the sun.

Oh, it's much worse.

There's a telegraph office across the way.

You ought to wire your father.

I don't think I want to worry him.

How are you going to get to Fort Collins?

After yesterday, Fort Collins is on its appeal.

I'm going to take a train and head back east.

The nearest rail is Cody.

200 miles right through Indian territory.

I don't suppose you're headed in that direction?

I hadn't planned on it.

Make it worth your while.

How so?

Oh, money.

Oh, you don't like money.

Well, on the contrary. It's high on my list.

Well,

whatever else is high on your list, money is all I'm after.

I'll tell you what.

I've got a little business to conduct here.

And when I'm done, I'd like to have a drink and a game of cards and a good

night's sleep.

Preferably on a bed.

Yeah, we can leave in the morning.

You're pretty used to getting everything you want, aren't you?

Not anymore than you are, I expect.

Well, I do hate to cut this short, but I have to be somewhere.

Miss Truffaut?

Oh, I have no objections to you calling me Lucy.

Glad to know it.

Better not. Don't want to wake anybody up in there.

Will this court now come to order?

Judge John William Goodnight presiding.

Lucy, would you like to join us?

Perhaps another time, Your Honor.

You have someplace better to be.

Oh, why not? I am quite interested in the justice system.

Yes, I thought you might be.

I got that wire out to the Pinkertons. Shouldn't be long now. Oh, wonderful.

Gentlemen and ladies of this court, October 31st, 1847.

That is the day I was born.

Not yesterday.

So keep that in mind while trying not to perjure yourselves.

First up, Taylor versus Kempner.

Gentlemen, what seems to be the problem?

Mr. Taylor.

Bought a gun from me.

He owes me $57.

A lot of money for a gun. What is it, gold -plated?

Just came on the market, Your Honor.

It's a double -action self -cocking piece.

Fires twice as fast as that old percussion cap pistol you have there.

And it uses a high -velocity cartridge that'll burn even when wet.

You saying that gun will fire in the rain?

Hell, you can fire it in a bathtub.

Well, Mr. Kemp, my baths aren't usually that exciting.

Before I ask you why you didn't pay him, I'd like to hear the gun in question,

please.

This is a very nice gun.

You always take evidence from your cases.

Take? I pay $52 for this item right here.

Could have told me you were a judge.

Could have.

Why didn't he?

Most people find out they act it.

They try to hide things.

I just like to have a normal conversation once in a while.

Oh, so you think I have something to hide.

Everybody does.

Must be a strange feeling, deciding people's faith.

The people decide their own fates, mostly.

You have the power to put them away.

I also have the power to set them free.

Which do you prefer?

Make a mistake either way.

Although it's harder to undo hanging the bat.

I think I'll turn in for love.

You got a room upstairs?

I have a room of my own. Thank you.

Sure you do. I was just trying to be polite.

You are that.

Can I walk you to your room, then?

That won't be necessary.

All right. I'll see you in the morning, then.

Well, I did.

Who is it?

It's me

Change of mind?

There was a rat in my room.

Hey, rats.

Think I'd just feel better if I stayed here with you tonight.

Oh, I know I'd feel better.

Do you get your whiskey and poker game?

Whiskey, yes.

Poker, no.

Oh.

That's a small bet.

Are you comfortable?

Oh, very.

Good.

Where are you going?

I'm going out.

Out there?

Are you coming back?

We're coming back.

Left my hat, didn't I?

The question is, is Lady Luck going to be on your arm or my arm tonight,

She can't be a fickle lady, can she?

See this deed.

160 acres of dirt.

Lucky me.

Game's over, gentlemen.

Better luck next time. You can't stop now. You've got to give it a chance to

that back.

You want that land back?

I can arrange to have you buried on it.

French crook, right?

Yeah, he smoked those.

Finally, someone civilized.

I wouldn't go that far. Mind if I pull up a seat?

Well, if it suits you.

Cyril Knox.

Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Knox. John, good night.

It's Colonel Knox.

You like games of chance, Mr. B. Knight?

Well, that depends.

House rules or dealer rules?

Hey, if you're winning, feel free to walk away.

How about if you're winning?

I will be.

Cavalry? Indeed.

You're not in uniform.

No, I'm no longer on active duty.

Not a deserter, are you?

No.

I'm just pursuing more profitable interests.

Six hundred.

Not much profit in serving one's country.

Unless you count on her.

Here's to your honor.

No one has touched my honor in a very long time.

Mine either.

Did you serve?

Regretfully, no.

I spent seven years fighting savages.

Did what was required, what was needed.

With certain actions that were heralded during the wars.

I've fallen out of favor.

Well, I'd say depending upon what actions you're talking about, I'd say

off lucky.

How's that?

Ground for dismissal in the military.

That might get you hung in a civilian court.

Are you a lawyer?

I don't like lawyers.

Me neither.

That's why I became the judge.

I beat a judge in cards before.

You ever lose to one?

Believe in luck, Judge.

I do.

How else do you explain the success of those you dislike?

I don't.

Come on.

All right.

Well, I'll see that.

Raise you up.

I'll tell you what, you throw in one of those cigars, and that deed right there,

we'll call it even.

Coming at you, Judge.

Three kings.

Wow.

Beaten by us great.

I think I'm going to have to get going. I've got me a date upstairs with a hard

floor.

You did say that I could walk away if I was up.

I changed my mind.

You're going to shoot a judge?

I'm thinking about it.

Well, while you're thinking about that, why don't you think about this?

There's a lot of people here that don't like you already.

You do something like that, you're liable to go to jail for a very long

I hope we get to play again sometime.

I hope not.

Hey.

I need your help.

You put it under your mattress and you don't bring it to town again.

I don't understand.

My father was a dirt farmer just like you. He didn't make it.

And you won't either. You keep gambling your stake away like that. You got a

wife and kids?

Yeah. Well, they deserve better than that. You get on to them.

Thank you, sir.

Bless you, sir.

What are you doing?

I don't

trust

that

sheriff.

Maybe I don't either anymore.

Well, you sure took your time. Still alive?

Barely. We are well off the beaten track.

Patchy tracker.

Right.

Did you get that fancy cigar?

I wanted to laugh off a bad man with a nasty scar.

What, you don't like cigars?

I don't want to say it, Paul.

Yeah.

Yeah. Seems like I got a lot of insight these days. Not sleeping will do that to

you. Do share your musings.

All right. Well, since you asked, I'm beginning to think there is no superior

minds at Pennsylvania.

You do have a suspicious nature.

Why'd you come to my room last night?

I told you there was a rat in my room.

So what?

I'm the lesser of two evils?

Or perhaps I just wanted to share the pleasure of your company.

Yeah. If that were the case, I wouldn't be sleeping on the floor.

Sorry, I didn't realize I was on the witness stand.

The men who attacked that stagecoach, they were in town last night. And I got

feeling that you know exactly who they are. Really?

Then why wouldn't I turn them in? I've been asking myself that very same

question.

Superior Minds of Pennsylvania was founded in 1831 by Nathan Truffaut.

It produces over 300 metric tons of coal per year. It was taken over by my

father, Nathan Truffaut II, 1864.

Well, that is an impressive list of facts. So, at least we know you've got a

good memory.

Not as good as your imagination. I'll tell you what. When I'm safely back home

in Philadelphia, I will send you a letter on company stationery. I look

to that.

Go.

Stop here.

We'll camp here for the night.

You ride like you've been in the saddle for a long time, Mr. Foe.

This is a big place, Judge.

I'm buying land.

I'm proud to find a good price next to a rail line.

Being a woman out here, all by your own.

I've been known to find comfort in the arms of a stranger, as I'm sure you

Mr. Goodnight.

I'm a circuit judge.

All I do is ride from town to town.

Strangers is all I ever need.

By myself, you won't tend to stay in any one place for too long.

You must be the same. I expect to choose a life like this.

I didn't choose it.

So you didn't make your way out west to bring justice to the great untamed?

No. I came out here looking for revenge.

Did you get it?

I'm not sure.

How did it feel?

Not like I thought it would.

Might I ask why you haven't returned to Chicago?

Just some of the places I've been, things I've seen.

That changes you.

Well, maybe one day you'll find the right woman and settle there.

Don't be thinking it's me, because it's not.

Point taken.

I just want the girl.

Why? You'll kill me if I say.

I'll kill you if you don't.

Fire

in

his direction.

Don't shoot me.

We're sitting ducks out in the open for that long rifle. If we make it through

this machine up here, at least we have a chance. Go!

I'm not a real estate.

We could jump.

What are you talking about?

Well, he's not going to follow us.

Would you make that jump if you were getting shot at? Well, I'm getting shot

There's no way I'm going to make it. No!

That's cool.

Now. All right. I'm going to make it to that floor.

You didn't even ask me if I could swim.

I didn't really think it was going to matter.

I thought the fall was going to kill her.

Normally, we don't take on passengers between ports.

But in this case, we'll be glad to accommodate you, Your Honor.

Well, I appreciate it. Will you and Mrs.

Goodnight be wanting a first -class cabin?

Two first -class cabins. Is there the best job?

I prefer one cabin.

You would?

It's for safety.

Well, I'll take my chances.

I'm knocking on my door in the middle of the night, complaining about rats.

Captain, are there rats aboard the ship, sir? Afraid so, ma 'am.

Most of them are in fancy clothes.

Captain, when does this boat dock in Coney?

Twelve o 'clock tomorrow.

We have a few stops in between, but she makes pretty good time.

I'm hoping you have a casino on board, sir.

Open all night.

Go away.

Sorry, sir. It's the captain.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Okay.

This court is now in session.

The Honorable John William Goodnight presiding has better be good.

Got me out of the first hot bath I've had in almost a week.

All right.

Who did what to who? I found this man in my room.

Well, it's an honest mistake.

See, I had a little too much to drink, and I opened the wrong door.

Was it a mistake that your hand was in my suitcase?

Thought it was mine.

Anything missing from your room, ma 'am? A diamond brooch.

I assume, Captain, that you searched this person in his cabin. Yes.

We didn't find a brooch. But we found this.

You wear women's jewelry, sir?

I most certainly do not.

Are you married?

Not yet.

Pirate? Of course not.

Then what are you doing with a woman's ring and earrings?

Well, they're a gift.

It's my mother's birthday.

You're very generous.

Well, I like to think so.

I'm ready to rule.

I've been drunk a few times.

So it's not difficult for me to envision a circumstance where alcohol could

cause a man to confuse a room or even a suitcase for his own.

Thank you, Judge. But I have never met a man, drunk or sober, who would buy

diamonds like that for his mother.

Let me see that cane.

You would do no such thing.

Oh, yes. It pleases the court. Produce the cane.

Thanks, Captain.

Your mother is a very lucky woman.

I can explain.

No need. How do you feel about cold water?

I prefer whiskey.

Yeah, so do I.

Under the maritime law of the territory of Wyoming, I find you guilty.

Captain, please escort the passenger overboard.

Overboard? Yeah. Gentlemen, let's not get carried away now. Put me down. Get

carried away.

I see you got that new dress.

Bought it from a woman on board.

It's a little tight around the top.

Yeah, I noticed.

That little gun you have strapped to your waist, you get that from the same

woman?

The captain?

He's an accommodating fellow.

I think the $20 helped.

Who shot you?

What?

I know what a gunshot wound looks like.

Would you like to talk about it? I'd rather not.

All right, it was my father.

The esteemed Nathan Truffaut.

After my mother died, he took to beating me. When I was 13, I tried to run away.

And he stopped me with a bullet.

That's the scar.

I'm sorry.

Well, I recovered.

And when I did, I opened his face, took everything in it, and ran.

I haven't seen him since.

He may be dead, for all I know, but I can only hope.

Is that where you got your money from?

No, that ran out years ago.

Now, is there anything else you'd like to know?

Yes. How do you like your thing?

In a bottle, no ice, no glass.

It's a secret.

Money plays.

Uh -huh.

Well, it's the queen of hearts.

Oh, how good.

Are you comfortable?

Oh, quite.

Pretty lady deals.

Oh, wow.

Um, is bad cards done all right with everyone?

Mm, been good to me all night.

Three. Four.

Ten dollars.

Twenty dollars.

Okay. I will see your twenty dollars and

raise you fifty.

You're raising fifty on the sixth?

Um, yes.

this before yes many many times with my aunt josephine oh your aunt

josephine i would love to meet your aunt josephine well i wish you could but she

has recently died my condolences how did she die penniless would be my guess

well would you

look at that Well, lovely, lovely pair. I'm pretty sure they have been.

I'm going to say 100.

What do you see?

I see two sixes.

Not three?

No.

Each other hand.

It's going to cost you $100 to find out.

Really?

You interrupt, sir.

I'm out.

I'm out. All right.

You're $10.

$10.

$200.

All right. Well.

See your 200.

And I'll raise you another 100.

I think you're bluffing.

Should we bare our souls?

Two tens.

Tens beat sixes.

Not three sixes.

Slide the money under the door.

Can I have a word?

Rats again?

You were the one that wanted to share the room.

It's back when I had $400. Now I don't.

I came here to apologize.

I shouldn't have cleaned you out like that. I hope it wasn't too painful.

It was.

Why? Because I'm a better card player than you?

Your apology needs a little work.

I'll give you a chance to win it back.

I got nothing left.

Except my clothes. You don't want those.

Maybe I do.

I know you don't trust me.

I know you're mad.

I know you think I'm a liar and cheat.

But maybe you can forget all that for one night.

Probably not.

I may be willing to try, though.

I feel safe with you.

I don't think I've ever said that to a man before.

I'm not exactly sure safe is what I was going for.

I may...

have misjudged our situation earlier.

Marie could be the right girl for you.

Oh?

Well, we are quite companionable.

I could kind of envision us settling down somewhere.

Maybe getting a house and a garden.

I'm sick of hotels.

Somewhere like New Orleans or Atlanta.

You're bluffing.

Why?

Am I scaring you?

Sort of.

Life is short.

That can be long, too.

Can I ask you something?

Unless you wouldn't.

Who's Kate?

I read her letter when I was going through your things.

When you were going through my things. I was curious.

There's another name for it.

She has lovely handwriting.

And words.

I know it's none of my business, but it does seem like she's at home.

I have feelings for you from what I read.

She's the one I used to know.

Can't we just leave it at that?

Are you upset she's getting married?

No. Why would I be upset?

She kept her letter.

She found someone to be there for.

She deserves that.

I'm sorry.

What's that smell?

That's a bad cigar.

John?

John?

Take this gun, and you shoot

anybody that comes through that cabin door.

I don't like people following me.

I'm not after you.

You shot a lot of bullets into rocks and trees this morning.

Sorry about your tracker.

Just hand over the girl and our business is done.

I don't know what she is to you, but we are far from done.

I know you killed the Pinkerton and the driver. I can only imagine what you laid

waste to in that cavalry.

Accusation is no proof.

I got a spent shell from that long rifle of yours.

It's all the proof I need.

I had to put a bullet in you right now.

What's the opposite?

Not much.

Walk.

Captain, take this murdering piece of trash below and lock him up.

Who is he? A disgrace to the military.

Yeah, you didn't even serve.

Coward.

Serving now.

It's for the Pinkerton.

That's for shooting me.

Why don't I kill him right now?

He's gonna hang anyway.

Yeah, well, that'll be the law hanging him.

Kill him right now to just be me.

Tell you something, none of the times I wish I wasn't a judge.

This is horrible.

It's me.

Yeah.

You kidnapped her.

Locked up in the dark.

That's big relief.

You don't look relieved.

I just wish you killed him.

Why?

Dead men don't talk.

You're wanted in three states.

Four if you stay here any longer.

Were you ever going to tell me?

Probably not.

Truthful sentence at last.

I have my faults.

Honesty is not one of them.

My father was the first to put a bounty out on me, and there have been a few

since.

What did you do to Knox?

Oh, I hurt him.

Not nearly bad enough.

Well, I lied. I took some money.

Made some promises I didn't keep.

He's a hateful man who's done hateful things.

And if he was the only one you took, maybe I could look the other way.

The world's full of bad men.

It's not for you to decide.

Like I'm not a judge It's hard being a woman alone There are very

few ways to make a fortune But everyone needs a fortune to live Well, I do

You have some unusual thoughts

Perhaps But I never did

business with anyone who didn't deserve it and you know as well as I do You

can't call it an honest man. Counting a dishonest one is still against the law.

Well, I guess there are worse things.

There always are.

I've been in the cavalry. I buy women.

Better go now. You think she's sweet on you?

She told me she loved me too.

She said she wanted to settle down in Atlanta.

Start a family.

Shoot him.

You can't, sweetheart.

He's fond of you.

John, I am begging you. Kill him right now.

Go ahead and pull that trigger.

She'll be my bride in hell.

He's gonna kill me anyway, John. Just shoot.

Go ahead.

Take your shot.

See what happens.

All right.

Gun's down.

That's the best $62 I ever spent.

That bullet with the Pinkerton badge was in your pocket.

Saved my law.

Guess we both were.

Here. Doctor said you've got some real bad bruised ribs. They're going to hurt

for a while. He does.

Knox is dead.

Is that something?

It doesn't change anything.

I know.

So, did I call you Lucy or Alice?

Whatever you prefer.

I'll stick to Lucy.

You gonna turn me in?

You have remorse for your acts?

No. You're not helping the case, are you?

You wanted the truth.

I'm tired of that.

Are you tired of running?

Huh.

Been at it a long time.

It's all I've known, but yeah.

I am tired.

Things can be different between us.

I'd like that.

And you're dead to society.

You got a clean slate.

Or you could just say I got away and we could meet up again later.

I can't say I'm not tempted.

Oh.

Why don't you sleep on that?

I wasn't that whiskey.

You lied to me.

You drugged me. The doctor said it would be good for your pain.

Just sleep now.

When I wake up.

What happened to your other dress? I liked it.

Yeah, but that's not mine.

Kind of figured you for the river.

I considered it, but then you'd have to go in after me and that water's cold.

Always thinking about it.

I was thinking about what she said to me.

I'm turning myself in.

You should tell me that that's not a mistake.

Can't do that.

But I do know a judge who might take it easy on you.

Is now a good time?

No, let's wait a bit

Boy

just have to love a good
