It's a dry cough.

You ought to know the difference by now.

Give it to me.

Guess I'm just a worrying kind now that
I'm a pa.

You've been a pa for 15 years. You was a
worrying kind long before that.

Seems like every time I get sick, go
off, I'm here and you're sick.

You just got a cough.

You're going off to get shot at.

We're the ones gonna worry.

You don't even have to go.

Just go in because a cat may ask you.

They all check the stove.

Here, honey.

Take her with you. She's hungry.

And wake the boys while you're at it.

You can sleep a minute longer.

I can't sleep a minute longer. I'm a
schoolteacher, remember?

work before dinner, Charlie?

Well, I'd be at work if I wasn't afraid
to go off and leave the help. If I do,

most of them will just get lost and I'll
have to waste time looking for them.

Put the rope on a horse's neck, not the
damn horn!

You're a little tardy yourself today,
ain't you? Ah, Shanky, I'm meeting. Must

like to sleep late. I'm not due to the
railroad till seven.

Who you going after this time, Woodrow?

Name of Joey Gar is a train robber. They
say he's swift.

Has he give you a fancy gun yet? Who?

Colonel Terry.

Ain't he still president of the
railroad?

And I'm dealing with named Brookshire. I
don't know who owns the railroad this

boy's been robbing. I expect he'll offer
you a fancy gun.

I've no use for expensive weapons.

You let someone give you a fancy gun and
he'll tell everybody in five counties

he's your friend when in fact he may
despise you.

Plan to work before noon.

You better give your hands a help
catching the horses.

This is a pointless conversation.

Goodbye. Bye.

Come on, boys. I'd hate to let Woodrow
call beat me to work.

August? Oh, put her in the crib, would
you? But, Pa, I ain't finished yet.

just do it.

I wish

you'd

learned how to drink out of a cup like
the rest of us. Well, saucer and

there, but I picked up merengue in days
when I was a bachelor.

I was a bachelor most of my life.

Same as Captain.

You were never a famous captain.

I am not.

You know, I hadn't learned how to be a
husband yet, not in those days.

There's no thing about being married.

You still don't know a thing about being
married. I have to teach you every day.

Was she wet?

No, Mom.

I don't like that old man keeping you
away from us.

Why can't he find somebody younger if he
needs help chasing a bandit?

Hey.

Something the matter?

No, I... Victor will worry about all of
you the whole way.

The worry really needs to get paid cash
money.

You don't have to worry, Pa.

I'll help Ma while you're gone. Oh, I'm
sure you will in what time you spare

from Roy Benson.

She kisses him, Pa. You have... Ma!
Don't you be hitting your brother.

I won't have my Georgie beaten up over a
boy like Roy Benson.

Ma, he ain't silly.

Don't talk about him like that. I wish
all of you would leave me alone.

She beats up on me all the time.

Well, you deserve it, you little snitch.
Give me that rag, Benson. I do not bite

on you.

Well, it's not now. It's a snot rag.

Hold still.

Okay, children, go on up and get ready
for school.

Go on.

I wish... Paul didn't have to go.

I don't like it when Paul goes.

No,

I did not.

Boys, stop pestering each other and get
upstairs.

He don't deserve you.

We do.

We'd love you. He just works you.

Gloria, I've been with the captain a
long, long time. You've been with these

children their whole lives.

They got no other father.

He can get another corporal. That's all
you are to him.

He don't even like you. He's mad at you
because you married me.

He doesn't like it that Gus liked me,
neither.

Now that we're married, I've taken two
men from him.

Don't like it that I'm a teacher,
neither.

Guess he don't think whores ought to
become schoolteachers.

Excuse me, sir.

Would you be Mr. Brookshot?

Well, yes. At your service.

I'm called.

Glad you're prompt. I despise laggards.

I imagine you were expecting someone
younger.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Actually, you see, I'm just an
accountant.

They don't usually send me on these
trips. They usually send Jimmy Roberts,

he swallowed a wine cork and choked to
death not an hour before he was to

Train robbers ain't smart.

Five smart train robbers could bust
every railroad in this country.

Well, this young Mexican is smart.

That's why Colonel Terry freshly ordered
me to hire you.

You've got a very fine reputation.

Fine reputation? Well, I say he does.

This here's Captain Call. He's the
greatest ranger that there's ever been.

I prefer my coffee hot and my
conversations private.

Say he's sweet -tempered, he ain't, but
you'll find that out if you hire him.

Of course, I have to hire you. Temper
isn't the point.

How many trains this Garza boy robbed?

The count was seven.

Say he's a guero.

He's what?

A guero means a blonde -haired Mexican
blue -eyed, too.

Oh, I forgot the gun.

It's so windy out, it just about blew my
wits away.

Colonel Terry sent you this gun.

It's a gift.

Thanks, but I'll pass.

You mean you don't want it?

Good Lord.

What will I tell Colonel Terry?

It's engraving is handwork, you know. It
doesn't come cheap.

Well, then the colonel can keep it for
himself, then.

I have no place to keep a fancy weapon.
I just have to deposit in the bank, and

I prefer to avoid banks.

I don't know what the colonel's going to
say when he finds out you didn't want

his gun.

He'd be mad enough to bite himself.

If he bites himself, that's his concern.

You want me to catch this boy?

I'll give you my terms.

P, could you hitch up the buggy, honey?

Clary's running late.

I never finished cleaning them.

Well, you cleaned them enough to smell
like gun grease all night.

Oh, boy. You smell like something
different every night. Well,

I guess it just depends on what I spill
on myself during the day.

Bean, you going off to chase a bandit
without him being armed?

Don't need to be armed because I ain't
going.

You late, Paul?

Nope.

I'm scared one of you might die while
I'm gone.

Says this chasing bandits has got to
stop sometime.

What about the captain?

Well, I got to go over to the railroad
and tell him I can't go.

Well, he better not be rough on you.

If he is, he's going to have me to deal
with.

You sure this is what you want to do,
Pete?

Yeah.

I hope so.

I don't want you moping about it later.

Hank, Charlie, step up.

Mom, you're so mean to him.

Get up now.

not like this back home.

I've not visited Brooklyn, but when
you're traveling here on the plains, you

count on wind.

Got off the train here yesterday.

Been chasing my hat ever since.

Might get a piece of twine tied on your
head.

get on the train now.

I believe I'd perk up if I was on that
train.

Let's go get on the train.

You get settled down. Would you take
that?

Where are you going?

I'm going to pack the rest of my gear.
I'll be right back.

Do you mind if I come with you?

I thought you wanted to be inside the
train.

I did.

I do. I did.

But I'm afraid I'll blow away.

Like a tumbleweed.

I know. It's windy.

I've never seen a wind bad enough to
blow a fellow out of a railroad car.

Besides, if you don't mind my saying so,
you're a bit heavier than a tumbleweed.

You sure you're going to come right
back?

I'll be right back, unless a big gust
comes up.

Mom,

why'd you marry Pop? You're just going
to be mean to him.

You think I'm mean to your father?

You don't know what mean is.

Well, Pop buys me a gun.

Well, he's not buying you a gun.

You just shoot Georgie with it. But I
can't spare Georgie.

Well, I think I know what mean is.

And I think you're mean to Paul.

Well, no, I didn't forget it, Captain. I
left it home.

Who's that fellow with the derby?

That's Mr. Brookshire. He's with the
railroad.

Spends most of his time chasing after
that derby hat. A man that can't keep

hat on ain't gonna be much help to
Mexico.

Well, I expect I'm not gonna be much
help to any Mexico either, Captain.

I got me a wife now and five children.

One of them's a baby.

I got me a farm that won't work itself.

I reckon it's time for me to stay home.

I guess I stopped this train for
nothing.

You ain't getting on.

Yep.

What's wrong with your man?

Is he sick?

No, he ain't sick.

He's buried.

Are you a card -playing man? No.

I didn't think you were.

Younger children, take home your readers
and study chapter 15.

That's page 146.

Captain left without me.

Did he fuss at you much?

No, just shook my hand and left.

Clary, mind what you're doing. This is
the schoolroom.

Finish your edition.

Quiet, children.

Are you sick, honey?

No.

You have one of your headaches?

Yeah, it's kind of pounding. That little
one's a stiff trot.

It's not the stiff trot. It's the stiff
wife.

Go home with your father. He's feeling
poorly.

And when you get there, fix us some soup
and put him to bed until he feels

better. Come on. Don't put him on me,
Clary. Go.

Well, Roy Benson ain't going to melt
between today and tomorrow, honey.

You'll see him again.

Oh, do you like Roy?

Ma, I don't.

Roy, he's gangly.

So am I.

You ought to retire, Willie.

You're losing your eyesight.

Just in the left eye.

A man as blind as you oughtn't to be
riding that river.

You're liable to fall in a hole and get
swallowed up.

You're blind drunk nine days out of ten.

What's to keep you from stumbling off
into a hole and getting swallowed up?

The fact is...

I hold court nine days out of ten.

And I am too busy to wander out there
and buy myself a hole big enough.

I particularly hate thieves.

A man who would steal 50 cents off you
will steal a million dollars.

Ain't too many folks around here got 50
cents.

Much less a million dollars.

I've got 50 cents, and I aim to keep it,
too.

If I stole your 50 cents, would you hang
me?

I'd hang you as soon as I could find my
rope. Now, I may not be able to put my

hand on my hanging rope right off, so if
you was quick, you might escape.

Who said you could be a judge anyway?

I'd want to see some papers before I'd
let you hang me.

If you could see, you'd see that we're
west of the Pecos.

And out here, if you want to be a judge
bad enough, you can be.

Then I won't be one bad enough.

What if it was a dime I stole?

Would you still hand me? I cannot
tolerate the loss of any sum.

Officially.

You won't put this whiskey you've been
drinking on your bill, is that correct?

watch out for the garza boy joey i know
joey i

don't want to watch out for him because
he's a cold killer just because you

fancy his mother don't mean he won't cut
you down he won't cut me down well if

you make it for a month or so you might
survive why a month or so

They've hired Carl to get him.

You mean Woodrow Carl is after Joey?

Who told you?

John Wesley Hardin.

John Wesley.

There's a fellow you ought to hang as
long as you're hanging, folks.

What?

Never stole a cent off me.

Mr. Hardin was heading for Crowtown.

Expect he's killed a few rascals.

Looking for a place to hide out. Well,
Grotown's a place to hide out.

They just peaked!

Hey, Joey.

You shoot first.

No.

You shoot first.

And then I will beat you.

You're in for a disappointment.

I was the best marksman in the German
army. I still had the medals.

You never saw a rifle this fine.

It, uh, takes a while to adjust, no?

Missed two.

It's the sweat, you see. In Germany,
it's not so hot.

The sweat fogs up my telescope.

Still, I think I beat you.

Thank you for letting me shoot.

I like your gun.

Mama!

What happened?

What did you do?

I beat your man.

You can't shoot.

He is not my man.

Go and bring me a basket.

You

whore!

You cut me!

Hombre, if you put your hands on me
again, I'll do worse than cut you.

Mother, do you?

Look at that in your face.

Like you do when you drink. Can you?

Well, all I need is a little whiskey.

A little love.

And excuse me, holy.

I can give you different holy.

Can do nothing about the rest.

Well, when I really need a bottle of
beer, I sell them walking the heat, you

know. You do not walk at all or do
anything else but talk.

What the news?

God, my brain is bought.

It's so hot, I nearly forgot.

Mary, they've hired coal.

I'll come as quick as I could to take
it.

Go to the house and clean yourself.

Therese will give you the frijoles.

Caught these men with 30 stolen horses.

Those out there up on the river told us
they were from this village.

They are from this village.

They are my son and my grandsons.

We caught them with 30 horses.

The law is the law.

So we hung them.

We cut them down.

We brought them home here.

Well done.

your children today.

I was speaking to them.

Old spider woman, take them to the fish.

I speak to them every day.

They're happy.

You remember Cole?

The captain.

The gringo.

He killed your father.

And my brother.

Now he wants my boy.

Your son?

Can't live with my children?

With the fish?

What's the point of the eight gauge?

Take old pack fuel just to carry the
shell.

Well, the man who sold it to me said it
would be useful for self -defense.

I won't dispute that. If you survive the
kick, you won't have to worry too much

about the enemy.

Thank you.

Let me see the pistols.

Oh, they're said to be the newest model.

Well, I'll allow them the most
expensive.

I'm glad your colonel don't mind
expense.

What if he does?

Colonel Terry hates expense.

Well, maybe I could tell them back when
we get through.

You know,

I hadn't expected this extreme weather.

I all but froze in Amarillo, and now I'm
all but cooked.

Aren't Amarillo and Laredo in the same
state?

More or less.

There's some folks think Laredo's still
in Mexico.

Don't get weather like this in Brooklyn.

It's just weather.

If I was you, I'd go over to the
telegraph office to see if there's any

trains being robbed.

Well, what'll you be doing?

I'll be packing the horses.

Where have you been?

I thought you were going to help us with
the corn.

I am not a farmer.

Where is Billy?

He's driving the wagon to the mines.
He'll be back in three days.

Good. I'm glad he's gone.

That old man smells.

He's kind to me.

That is because he wants you.

That is the reason he comes.

And that is the reason he's dead.

Any man can want.

It's how a man behaves that counts.

Don't hit me again, Mama.

Send out seven telegrams. He's ready to
call out the army.

Lacking a patient man here, Colonel.

Patient men make mistakes.

The only mistake he's going to make will
be to kill me.

Only he won't think it's a mistake.

Four more trains have been robbed. One
of them carrying an army payroll.

Another payroll.

The Lord spare us. The army will be mad
for sure.

The Lord should have spared.

Sixteen folks shot in the four
robberies.

Sixteen?

That's the count.

Whoever's doing it.

Doing it for the killing, not the
robbing.

How do you know?

You fought the Civil War, didn't you?

Well, I was there. I was quartermaster,
mostly. You were still there. How many

men did your company move?

About ten.

There you go.

I fought the Indian Wars in Texas for 24
years. I lost six men.

Sixteen men killed in four robberies.

That indicates a killer, possibly two.

Well, what makes you say two?

The ditto.

The train was robbed in Van Horn, Texas
one afternoon, another in Deming, New

Mexico, before dawn the next day. No
robber could have made it Van Horn to

Deming that quick.

He couldn't have made it even if he rode
the train he just robbed.

I'm going to have to talk to the sheriff
in this town.

We can't afford to be short -handed with
all these train robberies.

Whoever robbed... A train outside of
Deming had a gang.

Garza Boy works alone.

How does he stop those trains if he
works alone?

Well, he ain't lazy, Captain.

Works at night.

Piles of rocks on the track.

Builds kind of a wall.

Apparently a locomotive going four feet
should bust through a few rocks.

Maybe.

The train might derail. If it derailed,
you'd be in a pickle.

Joey Garza's after you. You're in a
pickle anyway.

If it was me...

And I was driving the darn train.

I'd pour on the steam. Ted, who
consulted you?

I'll consult him. He's making more sense
than you.

Well, I guess the engineer could plow if
he wants to.

Well, Joey Garst, it's either run or
fight.

Me, I'd run.

You employed steady, or would you
consider accompanying us on this chase?

Well, it's steady, but it's warm here.

I wouldn't mind getting off to some
higher country where there might be a

once in a while. Ted, who invited you in
this conversation?

I mean, if you leave, who's going to
sweep out the jail?

Well, if Captain Call wants me, I expect
I better go.

He's Captain Call, Bob.

He's Captain Call. He knows my name,
Deputy.

You going or ain't you?

I sure am, Captain.

I'm with you.

Go get your bedroll. We're ready to
leave.

Much obliged, Captain.

He was in a hurry and wanted me to stop
crying so you could leave.

I gotta get this gear together quick.

The captain's ready to leave.

He ain't gonna like waiting.

Captain. That's all I heard come out of
your mouth since you got home was the

captain this and the captain that. I
mean, who is he anyway? He's just some

man I ain't never heard of. You ain't
never heard of Captain Woodrow Call?

No. I knew you didn't get much
schooling, Doobie, but I never suspected

didn't know who Captain Call was.

Well, I didn't.

And I still don't. I mean...

Who is he that he's worth breaking up
our marriage for? He's one of the most

famous Texas Rangers there's ever been.

He's Captain Call.

Everybody on the border knows who
Captain Call is.

I'm on the border.

I ain't never heard tell of him.

But, I mean, if he's important enough to
break up our marriage with our baby

coming and everything, then you can just
go.

I haven't said anything about breaking
up our marriage.

I'm just going off with Captain Call.

I'll be back long before little Joe is
born.

Or little Josie, whichever it is.

What if you don't come back?

Well, why wouldn't I do? This is where I
live.

I know.

What if you don't live?

Then what will me and Joe or Josie do?

My gosh.

I'm not going off to get killed.

You've got to get that notion out of
your head.

There's rules, you know.

Rules.

Yeah, see, you don't know what a big
honor it is to be asked to ride with

Captain Cole.

I expect it's the biggest honor a lawman
can have.

Oh, that's right.

I forgot.

You're a lawman.

You have your deputy's badge.

You know, old Bob Jekyll, all he lets
you do is sweep out the jail and maybe

arrest a drunk once in a while.

Doobie, I'm going.

I'll be back, though.

Long before the baby's born.

No, you won't.

You're not coming back. Joey Garza, he's
going to kill you. And if he doesn't

kill you, then somebody else is.

And I'm never going to see you again.
And neither is my baby.

Leave that second pack horse back there,
Deputy.

Captain, where are we going to be
sleeping?

On the ground, sir.

You planning on nesting in a tree?

No, no, no. It's just that the ground's
a little... Well, I mean, there are

snakes.

Oh, we can do it.

Well, well.

Hold on, Jethro.

Hey, puta, wait up a minute.

When I tell a whore to wait, you better
wait.

You got a drink, puta?

I'm no puta, senor.

You're not as pretty as you used to be,
Jethro.

Senor? Yeah, what do you want, Max?

What have you done?

Now the hard sheriff is going to come
from across the river. He's going to

us all.

No. He will only beat her.

She made it happen.

What have you done?

Killed a gringo, Mama.

I only like gringos when they're dead.

Now you'll be in trouble.

Donovan, the hard sheriff will come.

If he catches you, he'll hang you.

He won't catch me, Mama.

But you know, he may catch you and the
old man there.

Joey. Joey.

Go away.

Go to Crowtown.

Nobody find there.

Even lawmen do not go there.

Quiet.

He is bad, that one.

He is bad.

Me and Rafael are here.

We will take care of you. Teresa, you
have to stay with grandmother for a few

days.

Bad men will come.

I do not want you or Rafael here.

But I don't want to go.

Take your cook with you.

Can Rafael take his coat?

Rafael can take his coat.

You Senora Garza?

Si, soy Senora.

Senora Maria Garza.

Where's that murdering son of yours?

Speak up, woman.

Sheriff Donovan asked you a question.

Where's Joey?

This is Mexico.

It's my country.

You're not the lawyer.

Lady's got a point, boys.

What do you mean, Sheriff?

We can do what we damn well please with
Mexicans wherever we are.

No.

Senor Garza's right, boys.

This is Mexico.

We ain't the law here.

So what do you say we take her back
across the border where we are the law?

You'd best get settled in, Miss Garza.

Unless you want to tell me where that
murdering son of yours is hiding.

You're going to be here a while.

Ouch!

God, if you scrape me one more time with
your toenails, I'm kicking you out of

this bed.

Why don't you cut your toenails like
other folks do?

Way down there was socks. I forget about
them. I'm sorry I nicked you.

Nicked me?

I'd probably be the first person to
bleed to death from being cut by her

husband's toenail.

You're wishing you'd gone with the cat,
mate.

No.

I just wish he hadn't gone himself.

I wish he'd just quit.

Captain do what?

He doesn't know how to do anything but
kill.

That ain't fair, Lori. In the Indian
days, he didn't have no choice. I mean,

look what Blue Duck did.

It was just one man. I don't want to
remember what Blue Duck did, but he did

some of it to me.

I want to forget what Blue Duck did.

Captain Cole was one of the folks that
helped me.

I was just a kid when he took me in the
troop.

Now he's asking for my help and I can't
go.

This feels wrong to me.

I mean, I'd feel more wrong if I went
off and left you and the tots. Well, go

after him then.

Go on.

I want you to.

I'll never really have you as long as
that old man's alive and neither will

children.

And don't be worrying about me and the
tots.

We'll do fine.

Go on. Get killed. Good riddance. I
don't want to go.

I'm here. Here's where I want to be.
It's just...

I can't help feeling bad about leaving
the captain short -handed.

Oh, no.

I'm sorry I said that about good
friends.

I'm just mad.

I get mad every time we talk about him.

It's worse than the toenails, ain't it?

I feel scared, Laurie.

I'm scared.

I think I'm getting a chill.

God, you're clammy.

Maybe you have what George has got. No.

It ain't cold on the outside. It's
inside.

It's like I dread something, Lori.

Well, I don't know what you dread, but
you're my husband. I know what you need.

our best pack horse, too.

What happened?

Bad dream, I expect.

Indians. I thought we were being
attacked by Indians.

Better make an entry.

How much did that horse cost?

$25, plus the shotgun shell.

I'd be sure and list that shotgun shell
if I was you.

He's an old man, Laurie.

I better go find him.

At least he'll be paid cash money.

Cash money can't hug me.

Can't do what we did last night.

Can't make me a baby.

And he can't be a father to the ones we
already got.

But if you have to go, go now so I can
start getting you.

Get over now.

I'll be back.

I suspect that boy's too good for the
both of you, Pete.

He'll kill you and the cabin.

And I'll get old and won't have you.

And neither will the children.

Take care of Mama.

I love you, too.

What makes you think you can find the
captain? You can't even track the milk

half the time.

I'll find the captain.

Folks, don't forget him. I'll just ask
folks as we move along.

Hang on, children. We don't want to be
late for school.

Hey, Charlie!

Captain, do you ever get worried before
a fight?

No, if I can't stay up for that much.

Well, that's brave.

When I was in the war, I was scared all
the time.

I was only a quartermaster.

I still had nightmares.

What did you dream?

Mainly of having one of those big shells
come in low and knock my head off.

The very thing happened to a man I knew.

A fellow from Hoboken named Johnny Rowe.

Bad luck, I suppose.

Terrible luck.

A man gave me his biscuit that morning
and rode out on a scout.

Why did he give you his biscuit?

Well, he said he was too nervous to eat.

So I ate the biscuit and off he rode.

And while I ate the biscuit, General
Grant rode by.

That was the one time that I saw General
Grant.

Anyway, for a little while the shell
started whistling in, so we all

down and went on up the road and...

There was a bunch of boys standing
around a horse.

We thought they were looking at a dead
rev, but... No, we're looking at Johnny.

His head was gone.

It was just a red bone sticking up
between his shoulders.

Lord, just a red bone?

Yeah, a red bone.

Expect it was his spine.

Lord, just a red bone.

You know, they see that Garza boy can
hit you between the eyes from a mile

with that rifle of his.

All this is just the effect of
reputation.

Bandit gets reputation, folks get to
thinking he can do no wrong.

If he had any sense, he wouldn't be
shooting between the eyes. He'd be

at the trunk. It's bigger. It's the
intelligent target.

How was General Grant?

I've always been curious about the man.

Well, he looked drunk to me.

The man won that war.

He was drunk the whole time.

Famous shoes.

How'd you get here?

Well, my day starts early.

I saw your track in a creek in Apollo.

I thought you had become a farmer.

I was surprised to see your track.

Why? I used to travel all the time.

You had no woman then.

Now you have a woman.

Who will give her children if you are
traveling?

Well, I expect she'll be wanting to hold
off on children until I get back.

What are you doing way up here in the
Brazos?

I'm a kickapoo.

Kickapoos lived here until the Comanches
came.

Comanches did not like us.

Comanches don't like anybody, very much.

Except for the Comanches.

They wanted our part of the world and
they took it.

We are not fighters, but we are the best
trackers.

Do you think Captain Call would pay me
to help him find Joey Garza?

Well, he'd most likely give you
something, how much do you expect to

You said your woman teaches.

Does she know how to read tracks in
books?

What? Tracks in books.

Tracks on paper?

Oh, you mean words?

You bet she knows how to read words.

When she teaches young 'uns her letters,
that's her job.

She taught you?

Well, she didn't mean to get around to
it. I know one or two letters. I know P,

and I know Y.

Where's that?

Study up some more on the letters when
the crops come in. I can track any

animal.

I can track spiders.

I can track lizards and snakes. I can
even track fleas and bugs.

But I cannot follow the tracks in books.

If your woman will teach me how to read,
I will help the captain find Zoe.

Well, that would save on expense.

Does she have anything to eat?

Well, I just shot me a big jackrabbit
here last night.

Why didn't you kill that antelope?

Didn't see no antelope. He's about a
half mile from here. I'm surprised you

didn't see him.

If I take you to him, will you shoot
him?

Well, I'll shoot at him, antelope, or
jump him.

I saw him a while ago. He's laying down.

If you walk quietly, I can bring you
close.

What's matter?

I've seen a bad track.

What kind of bad track?

Track of the man burner.

Man burner? You mean Mox Mox?

We call him the snake you do not see.

I thought he was dead.

No. He was here yesterday.

And he had six men with him.

One of them

Very large.

His mule is getting tired of carrying
him.

I thought Mr. Goodnight killed him.

That devil burned one of his cowboys up
on the Pickawire River. He got away.

He was here with his men.

I don't want no brush with the main
burner.

Are there any empty houses in this town?

No.

And who are you?

I'm Joey Garza.

Well, if you own a domicile in this
town, all you gotta do is find a house

like, kill whoever's in it, and drag the
victim up on a sand hill, and the devil

pig will do the rest.

What makes it a devil pig?

It only looks like a pig to me.

It's not just a pig. It's our town
mascot.

And it has a tunnel to hell where it
goes to see the devil every night.

Guess we got a new landlord.

He's better looking than the old one.

That don't mean he'll be easier to get
along with.

Huh? No.

No what?

I ain't said nothing. No, you can't have
a gun.

That's all you've been asking for
lately.

I didn't ask for nothing. I just came to
tell you there's an old man at the

door. A tramp or a cowboy or what?

I don't know. Just an old man. I think
it's Mr. Goodnight. Mr.

Goodnight? Are you sure?

He's old.

He's got a mustache.

I think it's him.

Mama, it's Mr. Goodnight.

Okay, ask him to wait a minute. I'm
coming. But, Molly, he's already

Oh, don't scold me, Clary.

I've been scolded enough in my life
already.

Hush, hush, hush. I hope my boy hasn't
been pestering you too much.

No, I like him. He's got spunk. If I
ain't careful, he'll have all the

Would you come in? I can offer you some
buttermilk.

I hesitate to bother you, but I'll take
the buttermilk.

Ben, get down from there.

I've been born in a different
circumstance. I could have made

a life out of drinking buttermilk.

Won't you sit down, Mr. Goodnight?

I have a very pretty daughter.

I hear she helps you with the teaching,
which I admire.

She's better at fractions than I am.

Well, I could chase a fraction from dawn
till dusk and not catch it.

Could I ask the favor of a few minutes
private talk?

Something wrong with P?

No, your husband's fine, as far as I
know.

This is another matter.

Children?

Would you excuse us? But what are we
supposed to do, Mom?

Well, go outside, dig a hole, or just
sit on the front door. I don't care. Go.

Thank you, Tom.

What is it, Mr. Phillips?

I regret having to tell you this, Mrs.
Parker.

It's Mom's mom.

Mom's mom?

But he's dead.

Ain't he dead?

I understood he was. I thought so, too,
but now I ain't so sure.

I'm

sorry.

I was so bad scared I forgot my manners.

It doesn't take much muscle to pour a
glass of buttermilk.

I'm the one who's sorry, ma 'am, for
having to put you through this.

But Mox Mox is dead.

You killed him yourself in Utah.

No.

He burned one of my cowboys on the
Picket Fire River in New Mexico.

I chased him into Utah and lost him.

I heard myself that a Ute Indian killed
him, but that might have been just a

rumor.

What makes you think he's alive?

Because someone's been burning folks in
western New Mexico.

I come here knowing it might upset you.

Because I understand you were his
captive that kidnapped you.

I was.

But how do you know?

I never even told my husband.

Your friend in Nebraska, Claire Allen,
told me you'd confided it to her.

I was up there recently buying horses
from her.

This is gonna make you burn, Holla.

I'm gonna burn you first, so you don't
have to hear that little boy, Holla.

John, what do you think you're doing?

I'm gonna burn that blue -eyed whore. I
don't see what business that is of

yours. She's my whore.

That's what business it is of mine.

And you ain't burning her.

Not today.

Why not, by God?

Because she's mine.

Bait, by God.

The old range of a trail come looking
for.

All we got to do is wait.

Once you get here, you can burn them
both.

I want to court her at least.

She's my bait.

You can have the boy.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I screamed to that little boy till the
day I died.

In my nightmares, I still hear those
screams.

I found the body of that boy, ma 'am.

I buried him.

That was kind of you.

I can still hear that little boy
screaming.

I'll always hear that little boy
screaming.

I'm a mother now.

That little boy was about the age of 14.

Oh, the age of 14.

My mom's crying.

And we can hear her.

Well, let her fall.

I expect she needs to.

Very seldom, son, very seldom.

Are you going to give me a pony?

I'd like a brown one.

I suspect I could scratch you up a brown
pony somewhere, but you'd owe me $10 if

I did.

Well, I ain't got it.

But I'll give it to you when I grow up.

Don't suppose a black pony would do?

No, brown's my favorite color.

I'd rather have brown.

I'll take the black pony. Can I have the
black pony?

Mr. Goodnight, I'm sorry I sent you out
in this wind.

Ma, now Ben's been asking Mr. Goodnight
for one. George has been asking for one,

and I need one, too. Where y 'all are
going, there'll be plenty of horses.

Where are we going, Ma? August, you boys
go out to the barn and finish your

chores. Cleary, it's time for the baby's
nap.

Mr. Goodnight, won't you come back
inside?

I'll put on a pot of coffee.

If I'd known Mark Marks was alive, I
wouldn't be living nowhere near here.

He said he'd find me.

And if I had children, he'd burn them
just like he burnt that little boy.

It was the last thing he said before he
left the building.

I thought all the mean wolves in this
country was about cleaned out.

He's as mean as any I ever knew.

I'm sending my children to Nebraska.

Claire will look after them until this
is over.

Now, my husband's out there somewhere
hunting a killer, and it's my fault.

He ain't a killer, Mr. Goodnight.

And he's got no business hunting killers
with Captain Call.

I'd better go find the man myself.

This time, I'll keep at it till I know
it's done. Let Captain Call do it.

I've got no right to give you orders,
but you came here and asked me what I

know, so I'm gonna tell you.

I've seen that man, and you haven't.

Let Captain Call do it.

My cowboy burned, not Captain Calls. I
expect you think I'm too old to do that.

No, that ain't it.

You may have killed to survive, but you
ain't a killer.

Captain Calls is a killer.

Send a killer to catch a killer, I say.

Besides, folks around here need you.

This whole part of the country needs
you.

He's the man that built the school.

And I know you've built others.

Nobody needs friend calls.

Because he's a killer.

He's as hard as blue duck and as hard as
muck muck.

Mr. Gossett, I've got to start packing.

I've got to go to school and dismiss my
pupils. Then I've got to hunt somebody

up to do chores around here while I'm
gone.

I want to start for Amarillo tonight.

I want my children out of here.

You'll be in a regular lather before you
get all that done.

I can stop the train at Quanah, and I
can send a couple cowboys with a wagon

take you to the railroad.

I'd be much obliged.

Can you lend me a weapon?

Oh, my husband lent me. It was a
shotgun.

I can lend you several guns, but I doubt
you'll need them once you're on a train

to Nebraska.

I'm not going to Nebraska, Mr. Goodman.

Just my children are going north.

You're not going?

No.

Ma 'am, you're the one he nearly burnt.

You have every right to be scared. Why
wouldn't you go?

Because I've got to find my husband and
bring him back.

I should have set my heels and kept him
here, but I didn't.

It's my place to bring him home.

Now, that's right.

I can send an experienced man to go find
your husband and bring him home.

None of you cowboys married him.

I married him.

He's a good man, and I need him.

Besides, he won't mind nobody but me.

Except Cap Call.

I'm going to find him and he's going to
mind me.

Particularly now.

Well, I'll go send him in with the
wagon.

I like the way that talkative boy of
yours takes up for himself.

He's got grit.

You mean Georgie?

Apple of my eye.

Don't forget to send that pistol, Mr.
Goodnight.

I don't want to be going south without a
gun.

I won't.

Goodbye, Mr. Parker.

That's you?

What's happened?

What's happened to you?

No! It's me, it's me, Billy.

Billy. What is it?

Tell me what happened to you.

Billy.

He killed a man, a gringo.

Now the hard sheriff, he wants to know
where to find him.

Where is he? I don't know.

No, just the floor.

I despise them lawmen.

I just hate their stinking hearts.

Hey, Billy.

I didn't know you fancied Mexican
whores.

What a fancy time is to cut your
stinking heart out.

And I expect I'll come back and do it
once I take Mary home.

You old -timers got rough tongues.

Tell me something, Billy.

You fancy all Mexican whores?

Get this.

Easy, Ben. You're stinking hard.

Come on, Barry.

Good

God,

Tom.

Where's your rear?

It's in my pocket.

I hope so. I'd like to know who the
second robber is if there is two.

I'd like to know that myself.

Be sure there's two.

I'm hoping they don't keep multiplying.

Now, Mr. Brookshire, your color ain't
good.

If I was your doctor, I'd recommend you
stay away from telegraph offices. Every

time you go in one, you come out looking
ill.

Yes, for good reason.

Here's four telegrams and not a word of
good news.

Well, what's the worst?

The worst is my wife died.

Katie died.

I never expected it.

She was healthy as a horse when I left
Brooklyn.

I never expected it, Captain.

Well, that is bad news, Mr. Brookshire.
I'm sorry to hear it.

I wish Nod said to you home the day I
left the panhandle.

It's too late now.

She's gone.

You almost missed this antelope.

Hey, we wouldn't be eating it now, would
we?

You will have to shoot better than this
to kill Joey Garza.

He shoots better than you do.

I doubt he shoots better than the
captain.

They will never find him without me.

Captain usually finds a bandit that he
sets out looking for.

Not Joey.

When he was six, his mother's husband
sold him to the Apache.

Once, when I was in the mountains
watching eagles,

I came to the... What was he doing
watching eagles in the mountains?

It helps my eyes work better.

The Apache taught Joey how to track, and
they're good trackers.

They taught him well.

So you know him, then?

I know his mother, Maria.

She fed me when the hard sheriff put me
in jail in Presidio.

For eating a dead horse.

I didn't know it was a crime to eat a
dead horse.

The hard sheriff thought I stole it
before I killed it.

He was going to hang me.

But a big fire almost burned the jail
down.

I escaped.

Maria Garza hid me until I could go back
to the mountains.

Well, if she's so kind, how come her son
turned out bad?

If I knew that, I would be a matchmaker.

I would be rich.

I don't know.

No one knows.

It would be a curse, wouldn't it?

If I was so bad on you?

How about you? How are your children?

They were good children.

Comanche killed all of them.

I came back to the Brazos to be near
their spirits and the spirit of their

grandfather.

But I didn't find his spirit.

What about your children? Did you find
their spirits?

Ah, they were too young.

Their spirits were too light.

They had blown away to another part of
the world.

Clary, August, take care of the little
ones.

Now get on inside.

Hurry up.

Mary! Mary!

Can't you knock?

This is my house.

He ain't got time for niceties, Mary.

Call, he's heading this way.

He can come.

You'll not find my son.

He will if he sniffs around and picks up
your scent.

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

How do you know this news?

I know what caused our frequent saloons.

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

A vaquero spotted call.

He's with two men.

Billy?

I want you to stay with my children.

Take good care of them.

You know I'll take good care of them,
Mary.

Where are you going to be?

I'm going to Crowtown.

To warn my son.

You? Crowtown?

How long do you think you're going to
last in a place that rough? I don't plan

to move there.

I can last long enough to warn Joey.

Mary, let me go.

No.

I have more than one reason to want you
to go.

I do not want to be here when Cole
comes.

He killed my father, remember?

He killed my brother.

If I see him, I might kill him myself.

Then my children will never be lost.

This youngster is bad.

What now, Captain?

He killed six railroad men just east of
Pecos, left 700 sheep on the train to

die of thirst.

Good God.

Here's a telegram from Charlie. Good
night.

Mox Mox is alive. He is your man, Byrne.

Your deputy is on his way. Famous shoes
tracking for him.

You may recall Mox Mox Byrne, one of my
men, available if needed.

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

Mox Mox.

He burnt one of good night's cowboys and
who knows how many other folks.

Well, Mr. Brookshire.

There are two killers out there just
like I suspected.

Which one do we go after first?

Joey Garza.

He's the one I've been hired to stop.

What about this man?

Last news was he's in New Mexico. New
Mexico has law of a sort. Let them

it.

Well, that'll please the colonel.

And your colonel's a man who expects
results.

Despite the bad news, can you travel?

I can travel.

In fact, I think I'd rather travel.

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

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

If we're lucky, the boy might be at
home.

You can catch him there.

Take good care of your brother.

Take good care of Billy, too.

If he gets drunk and falls asleep
outside, cover him so he wouldn't

Not a problem, Mama.

I will take care of him, too.

Adios.

Adios. Vaya con Dios.

Now, you're on the wrong side of Pecos
River, you know. You're going to have to

cross it.

As cold as it is, you're going to have
to build a fire and thaw yourself out as

soon as you get across.

Billy, I have crossed rivers before, and
I know the kind of risk I'm going to

face.

Well, Mary, can I ask you something?

If you hurry, I cannot be here talking
to you or never get to Crowtown.

Well, I like keeping track of your
husbands.

It's kind of a hobby of mine.

And I ain't seen that Senor Sanchez
lately now.

Why did he run off if I ain't prying?

You are prying.

Well, my feet hurt. Tell me anyway.

Senor Sanchez left me because he did not
like me.

Well, he married you. Why wouldn't he
like you?

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

When he find out who I am, he left.

Well, I sympathize with the man.

I've often made that same mistake
myself.

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

Listen, Mary.

Since you ain't got a husband, well, how
about me?

Billy, are you keeping me here when I
have so far to go in this cold wind?

Just to propose?

That's about the gist of it.

I

will

not marry you.

But I'm happy you're my good friend.

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

Right.

Okay. Okay? All right.

Take care of yourself.

Adios, hombre.

Teresa! Rafael!

Marietta!

This shirt is dirty.

Wash it again.

He ain't trained to be laundress, did
you know?

Well, I better learn, Viola.

My mother could do my clothes much
better.

I thought you didn't care for your
mother.

Bueno.

She's a whore, too.

But you could wash my clothes.

Joey, you gotta be careful around John
Wesley Harden.

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

He's killed over 50 men, they say.

You need to be careful.

He's got a temper.

I seen Ben Lilly yesterday.

Ben Lilly, is he still around?

Of course he's still around. He sold me
an antelope, Honch. He sold you an

antelope, Honch. Why don't you cook it?

I don't cook.

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

That's because she bunks with the young
killer here.

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

Now he'll corral all the hoard.

Pardon?

Better cost me 50 cents to bury that
helper of mine.

Now, you shot him.

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

Why waste money burying a nigger?

We all got to be buried.

Harden that boy. It cost me $50.

That's $50 for the boy and 50 cents for
the grave.

That's $50 and 50 cents you owe me.

Don't stand there talking nonsense to me
while I'm working hard at getting

drunk. Just drag your man off behind a
fan Hill the big pig will eat him and

save you 50 cents. I want my money
Anyway, you're a fool if you paid money

for a negra it ain't even legal to buy
one anymore a blanket scene to that

You give over my money you owe me you
give it over now I could kill you

seven times before you drop that hammer
on your own toe You owe me Now, you give

it over, you give it over now. Son of a
bitch, I heard you.

Now, if you want to live, get gone.

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

I doubt you're the killer you claim to
be, Hardin. I don't claim nothing.

I'd like to smash your ugly face, but I
guess I'll leave that pleasure to

Captain Call.

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

Woodrow Call?

Why would he want to kill me?

Yeah, he arrested me once, but that was
over a feud I got into in Lampasas.

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

No, but he's coming.

Ben Lilly told me.

Woodrow Call's coming to Crowtown.

That's bold.

We're an old turd, isn't he? Yeah, he's
coming, but he ain't coming for you.

You're not important enough anymore,
Hardin.

You're just an old killer waiting to
die.

Why is he coming?

Do you expect to clean out the town?

No.

He's coming for the werewolf here.

He's coming for this Joey.

Now, come on, Hardin. Give me the money.

I got no reason to give you a free
helper to kill.

I hate idiots like you.

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

When's Captain called you to show up?

Soon, I reckon.

Good.

Maybe he can make it in time for your
funeral.

You can be buried with your helper.

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

Nobody wants you dying in here.

This is a proper slug.

Forty, it hurts you.

I expect so.

That's what a forty -four slug's meant
to do.

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

If you wasn't so near a kilt, I'd take a
bedslut to you, I would.

I oughtn't have dropped my hammer.

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

You can tell left from right.

Well, I tried to get the stubborn son of
a bitch to go outside, but he wouldn't.

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

Now we're without a blacksmith.

Good. I disliked the bastard.

Drag him on out now. He's gonna start
stinking in a minute. You dragged him

You shot him.

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

You drag him out of here, boy.

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

What the hell? Is everybody stubborn in
this town?

Why would they send a call after a pup
like you?

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

They sent him after me because gringos
don't like losing money.

That's right.

That's right.

It's the money, not the murders.

And don't cost them damn pigs one cent
for us to kill one another off out here

in the Baldies.

Why would they care?

Out here on the Pecos, it's fine for us
to steal from one another.

We better not rob no trains from the
east where them damn Yankees keep their

money.

How much did you get, Kettle?

I heard it was a million.

I heard it was the Army's money.

Being a little closed -mouthed today,
are we? You'd do better to talk to

yourself. My ears get tired just
listening to your cuss.

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

You remind me of myself when I was
younger and better looking.

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

You said it yourself.

Stealing is a more dangerous habit in
these parts than killing.

But if you have a tendency to steal, you
best stay clear of Judge Roy Bean.

You can't abide a thief.

He catches you with money in your
pockets, he'll hang you promptly and

money.

No.

He won't hang me.

But I might hang him.

For sport.

But not.

That's original.

That would make the paper.

No call, he might get fired over that
one.

No, my advice is to let Roy go and kill
Famous Shoes. You heard him, ain't you?

Why should I kill that old man?

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

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

Famous Shoes don't miss.

Bueno, viejo.

Neither do I.

Is there any news about Ted?

Wasn't any news yesterday.

And there ain't no news today.

I know I'm a pest, Sheriff, but it's
just I've never been without Ted before.

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

You know, I'm getting real tired of you
coming to my jail asking about Ted.

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

That ain't fair, Sheriff.

My husband is just as smart as the next
fella.

You know, you keep coming here.

Bob. And you keep coming here.

Bob.

Stop it, Bob.

Don't hurt me, Bob.

Shut up.

Don't hurt me.

No. My turn. No.

Stupid honey, what's wrong?

I just went there looking for news.

Whoa, whoa.

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

We're heading into Joey Garza's
territory.

Up to now, there's been no danger.

That changes now.

He's got that German rifle, remember.

We need to take advantage of what cover
there is.

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

Expect he does.

Who'd tell him?

I don't know. Lose does travel.

Our advantage is my old corporal is on
his way.

How will he find us?

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

Neither could Corporal Parker, for that
matter.

Tracking's not his skill.

He'd be hard -pressed to find old
Mexico.

He's got an Indian with him, famous
shoes.

He's the best tracker left in the West.
He's damned expensive, but he'll bring

the corporal to us.

Now, are you saying he can just look at
the ground and figure out where we are?

Not just the ground.

Famous shoes.

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

Pretty soon, they'll show up.

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

We got a full moon tonight.

We need to press on.

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

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

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

Your boss wants results.

Yes, he wants results.

And he gets them, too.

Well, let's ride.

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

This all could be over.

Three, four days.

Is Joy here?

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

Wake him.

Tell him his mother is here.

You can come in, but I ain't gonna wake
him up. He don't like it when people

wake him up.

Wake up.

Wake up. You must leave here.

Mama?

Would you wash my clothes? They don't
know how to do it.

We don't have time to do the laundry.

Captain Cole is coming.

I want you to do my laundry.

He will kill you, Joey.

He killed your grandfather and your
uncles.

I do not want him to kill you.

This is my room.

I don't like women in here.

I'm your

mother.

Get up.

Get up and leave.

They have sent the great killer after
you.

Go to Mexico, down to the Sierras, and
go quickly, or you're dead.

Or a stupid woman.

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

I know about Captain Carl.

I'm not running from an old gringo.

Then you're dead if you think that way.

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

You'll be lying.

I will not die.

Carl will die.

Even before he knows that death is
coming to Veras.

Is there anyone who can make him leave?

John Wesley Harden, maybe.

John Wesley's killed over 50 men. I
think Joey likes him. Of course, John

Wesley's crazy.

He'd have to kill anybody when he's in a
mood.

Where is this man?

He's in the saloon. He never sleeps.

You'll be taking more than your life in
your hand if you go on that flu.

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

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

You killed our pig?

What kind of a wild slut are you?

And if you are his friend,

I wish you'd tell him to leave.

Captain called, coming.

Don't know where he is, but he's close.

How close?

I don't know.

His deputy is over by the Pecos.

Famous Shoes is taking him to meet the
captain.

I knew it.

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

She just killed the devil pig.

We have hundreds of people coming here
trying to take shots at that pig.

You walk into town one day and kill it
dead?

This woman's a witch.

What's wrong with your foot?

I stomped it.

Son of a bitch is a card cheat.

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

Let's go inside.

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

The snake you do not see is alive.

Mox Mox?

That little squint don't bother me.

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

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

Well, you're a fine one.

Your son's got all the whores.

You come into town, killer pig, and now
you won't even crawl into bed with me

after I ask you polite.

You watch it.

I like being in small rooms with whores
who shoot pistols.

Maybe the killer instinct runs in the
family, Wes.

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

No, thanks.

I live for myself.

Captain Cole will kill him. And for all
you know... He might kill you, too.

Ain't likely.

He ain't getting paid for me. He's
getting paid for your boy.

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

Him and the famous shoes, they make a
good pair.

Famous shoes only tracks when he's paid.

Call kills for the same reason.

Hell, I'll write a dollar, then.

Red can pay you. He owes me money.

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

A dollar and a quarter then.

He's a lively one. He has some spirit.

need a fresh man.

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

Why are all of you crying?

Do you miss him already?

My Joey doesn't care about women.

He just cares about himself.

Joey didn't care about us, but he wasn't
mean to us neither.

They only left us alone because they
were scared of Joey.

Now they will be like wolves.

I have this gun, but this will not keep
them away.

I'm going home to Mexico.

Do you want to come with me?

I have to walk.

But I'm going.

We have no one in Mexico.

Our mother is dead.

Redfoot will beat me when he find out
Joey's gone.

I was with him till Joey come.

He'll beat me bad.

What will we eat?

All we have is that antelope haunch you
bought from that old man and Lily.

We just kill the pig.

You can eat it.

You kill a pig?

What pig?

That big pig.

He killed it. He killed the pig.

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

We were afraid he would eat us.

He was the devil pig.

No.

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

If you give me a bucket, I make sausage.

From the blood of that pig.

I need a horse to drag that thing.

Old Naiche has a horse.

Maybe it could drag a pig.

Que? Naiche, the old Indian woman.

Over there. Her house is made of sticks.

Con permiso.

But mother, I need your horse.

You killed a great pig.

If you let me borrow your horse, I can
drag the pig to a place where I can

butcher it.

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

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

White people were strong for meeting the
gusts of animals.

You are from the Comanche, you know?

Yes. But the white men came.

And now we are gone.

If I can take your horse, you can have
whatever you want.

Christ is his mother.

What's his name?

Horse.

Horse.

Horse? Es que lo maté el 5 de...

I've been trying to tell you we are here
to meet Captain Call.

We're both deputies.

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

I'll give a tinker's damn who you're
here to meet.

That old Indian's a horse thief.

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

Now look, his name is Famous Shoes
because he walks everywhere.

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

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

Stealing horses to eat is still stealing
horses.

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

Because you were with a horse thief.

You just might be a horse thief
yourself.

I am not a horse thief! If I hang the
old kicker pull, you can go.

Look, you've had us here all day long,
and he has not had a thing to eat.

Now, why are you starving him?

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

He evaded the law.

My law.

He deserves worse than starving, and
he's going to get worse than starving,

Besides, why waste food on an old
kickapoo as good as hung anyway?

All us women want to come with you.

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

I might die harder if you come with me.

You might freeze, or starve, or drown.

I'd rather drown than stay here.

We ain't scared.

Bueno.

I can take you to the railroad.

It will be a very cold day tonight, and
we have to walk.

No, I won't go.

I want to wait for Joey.

He don't have no one to help him.

Joey thinks Gabriela's pretty.

Me and Gabriela, we better stay.

Marietta, Gabriela, do not be weak.

Joey will never come back.

These men will use you till you're sick.

Is it or no?

You know she ain't lying.

Yaichi, Yaichi, we're leaving.

You should come with us.

I will take you to the railroad.

This is not a good place for a woman.

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

Billy Williams says there are many of
your people still alive in the

I don't believe Billy Williams. He is
right.

There are only white men in the world
now.

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

Bring it.

I'll help you.

I do not know what will become of you if
I leave you here with this man.

Don't worry about me.

Look, let me show you.

I don't let this fire go out.

When the northern comes, it keeps my
scorpions from freezing.

Oh, they don't sting me no more.

When men are dead, I put scorpions in
their clothes.

Old Tommy, he stole my tobacco.

He got drunk.

I put three in his pants.

They stung him where he is a man.

Naichi, run away to my home.

I have two children.

My girl is blind, and my boy cannot
think well.

You could help me with them.

My time is coming.

If you miss your time, then you cannot
rest.

house and tells me secrets.

That is why I know I must stay and wait
for my time.

She is up there now.

My crow.

I have no more time.

I must go.

I hate these crows.

They bring bad luck.

Need you, John Wesley Hardin.

Mind your own business, you cross -eyed
runt.

You're too big to be inside.

You go outside and drink.

Or else sit down.

You're blocking my light.

Ain't no chair for me.

Then sit on the floor, you damn kraut
barrel.

I'll be friendly, Hardin.

I got six men here.

We aim to kill the God of War.

That six ain't enough.

We're counting means.

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

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

The reason you gotta subtract him is
because I'm about to kill him if he

sit down!

Sit down, Gart.

Don't you hear, Mr. Hardin?

Ain't no chair.

Going outside would be even better than
I wouldn't have to look at 300 pounds of

stupidity while I'm trying to
concentrate on my cards.

I'm out.

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

I guess you would, you damn Cherokee.

Or are you Choctaw?

Is the Gaza boy here?

He took three payrolls. Should have been
ours if he'd left them damn trains

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

The boy ain't here.

Neither is his mother.

Why would I care about his mother?

You ought to care.

She could whip the whole bunch of you.

You are one rude son of a bitch.

This ace don't belong in this deck.

It's got six or seven already.

I got a mind to kill you, Arden.

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

Or a Choctaw boy.

Or an ignorant anvil of a German you
brought in here.

Give me one, too.

Hey, why don't you leave the anvil here?

We need a blacksmith.

He looks like he's got the heft for it.

Ergard couldn't shoe a horse if he had a
week.

He can't shoe himself.

Yeah, but he's so strong, half the time
he yanks them boots on the wrong feet

and then wonders why they hurt.

If he's useless, then move him out of
the light.

You know, if you've got a mind for
killing, maybe you ought to get old

Call while you're kidding.

Woodrow Call?

Yeah.

The railroad sent him after Joey
Gartner.

Like whacking an ox.

I hope my weapon's intact.

You got no idea how mean I am, you
stabby son of a bitch.

I'm gonna kill that young man.

Then I'm gonna kill old Carl.

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

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

to ever hit the West.

I rarely bother with folks who read the
papers.

Personally,

I wouldn't give a nickel's worth of
horse meat for the whole bunch of you.

Now, if you boys want to sit in here and
drink, do it quietly.

I don't want to risk damage to my weapon
by having to whack you like I whacked

that lunkhead.

Well, I guess if we're not wanted.

Thought you could shoot.

Take the wish to kill a crow, and I
ain't no wish.

Sorry you came with me, Mr. Brookshire.

No, I'm not sorry.

Katie's gone now. Might as well be here.

About you, Devin.

I'm with you, Captain.

I was in this village once before.

Me and P .I. caught three horse thieves.

Mexicans over in Texas.

We hung them.

Seeing how they just crossed the river
brought the bodies home.

That is you, ain't it? Woodrow, where
you been?

We've been expecting you for about a
week now.

Why would you be expecting me?

Everybody knows you're hunting Joey
Garza. This is talking a whole west.

Boy, it's a whole west to keep their
mouths shut, Tim.

You know this wild boy, Billy?

No.

Ain't that that Ted Plunkerton down in
Laredo?

That's him.

What are you dragging him along for,
Woodrow? He is worthless.

I wouldn't hire him to shovel out manure
if I had me a whole stable full.

He's your children, Billy?

They ain't, no.

That's a pretty child.

She's Joey's sister.

She's blind, ain't she?

Yeah. Blind from birth.

This, uh, this house.

This the house?

Yeah.

Yeah, you hung Maria's father and her
brothers, and you brought them to this

house.

Since you're here with these children, I
expect their mother's gone off to warn

their brother.

Beg.

This will be going then, since the news
has spread.

Don't forget to take your man.

What man?

Your man, P.

Your corporal.

He is here?

Good night informed me he was coming,
but he didn't say he was here. Yeah,

over in Sheriff Donovan's jail across
the river at Presidio.

Famous, he was with him.

What are they doing in jail?

Some years back, Sheriff caught that old
kickapoo eating a dead horse.

Decided it was stolen.

Sheriff ain't forgot.

Why was P. arrested?

Consort with a horse eater, I guess.

Since you're here watching after his
brother and sister, you must be a friend

this Joey's then.

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

When he was a youngster, he was likable
enough.

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

He ain't been likable since either.

Boy part Indian?

No.

One of Maria's husbands didn't like
having brats underfoot, so one day he

took off and sold Joey to the Apaches.

Maria was gone at the time.

She was off helping her ma on her
deathbed.

He was with the Indians three years.

I tried to buy him back a couple times
myself, but they wouldn't trade with me.

He was about 12 when he escaped.

He outran them, Apaches.

They couldn't track him, neither.

Explains why he's hard to track.

That's good that P is here.

Guess Deputy Plunkard can go on home now
if he's a mind to.

Ted Plunkard ain't a fighter, Woodrow.

He's just a jailer.

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

Who is that man, Billy?

Name is Call, honey.

Woodrow Call.

He said I was pretty.

Well, he's right.

You are pretty.

Real pretty.

Looks like your mom.

Is there a king, please?

Well, a king of sorts.

I guess you could say that.

I think he must be a king.

I think we got trouble.

There's a man coming.

I think it's old Carl.

I ain't never seen the man, but I think
it's him.

Now, why would that mean trouble?

He's the lawman.

I'm the lawman.

Boy, he's kind of got that stiff look.

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

Captain!

Let these men out. You have no authority
to arrest them. They were sent here to

help me bring in Joey Garza. You ought
not to have interfered with them.

I reckon I know who to arrest.

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

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

Famous Jews never been known to ride a
horse, much less steal one. P .I.

Parker's been my deputy for 30 years.
He's never been a lawbreaker.

He came to town with a criminal.

And that's breaking the law for me, by
God.

Here. I heard you were stubborn.

So I got a telegram from the governor of
Texas.

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

to the governor himself.

Now, I've done this to save time.

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

It is from the governor.

Want to read it?

No, I don't, by God.

And when I wad something up, I want it
to stay wadded up.

Damn the governor and damn you.

You don't just walk in here and order me
to let criminals out of my own jail.

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

Your man can go.

The day I hang the old Indian.

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

They're dead men. They step out of
themselves.

I will not tolerate escape.

Son of a bitch!

Captain, he's subdued!

Stop it!

Stop, it's enough!

You tell him if he ever points a damn
pistol at me, he'd better shoot.

I won't tolerate rude behavior.

Yes, sir.

Remind him I was following the
governor's instructions.

Read him that damn telegram.

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

available?

Yeah.

You won't even have to pay me either.

Why not?

P .I.'s woman is going to teach me how
to follow tracks in books.

Tracks and books? You mean words she's
going to teach you to read?

Yes.

As soon as I help you catch Joey.

All right, then. P .R.'s wife agrees.

Hello? Stand there like your targets
lined up in a shooting gallery. Let's

You know, when I first met Captain Call,
I wasn't sure he ought to have been

hired to take on the assignment like
that.

Why's that?

Well, he seemed old and kind of stiff.

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

Well,

after seeing what he did to that
sheriff, I'm bound to say Colonel

Terry clearly chose the right man for
the job.

Lori,

could that really be you?

Lori, it's me, Tinkersley.

It is you, ain't it? Tell me it's you.
I'm married now, Tinkersley.

I'm here looking for my husband.

Either with tap and call.

Whose funeral?

Doobie Plunkett. She was well -liked in
the town. I liked her myself, even

though I only met her once.

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

I kept two back for business.

They had scratchy voices anyway.

So you're still wanting a horse, huh?

Yeah, mostly.

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

Was she a whore?

Oh, no, no. She's married to the deputy
sheriff.

Only about 16.

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

Yeah, it's a filthy shame.

Sheriff Jekyll raped Doobie.

Did he kill her?

No. She was pregnant.

She felt so bad about the matter that
she took rat poison and died.

She must have felt hopeless.

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

I know hopeless, though.

I'd rather you didn't accompany me.

You didn't even know the woman.

Get away from me, Tinkersley.

You done nothing but hurt me when we was
together.

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

I'm here to find my husband.

Oh, but I bought you pretty dresses.

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

Get away from me.

I don't like remembering nothing about
that.

Laurie, look, I just thought we could
dance a little bit. I never thought I'd

see you again.

I come down here to Lonesome Dove
looking for you. You'd already gone

old McRae. He wasn't that old.

His head looked like an over -ripe melon
after Captain Cole got through with

him.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

I heard you mention Captain Cole.

My husband's his corporal. I'd be
grateful for any news you have of the

We don't know much, ma 'am.

Captain Caldane nearly killed that
sheriff in Presidio.

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

What you heard was the captain was
trying to get his man out of jail.

That'd be my husband.

And I guess the sheriff just went crazy.

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

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

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

I reckon that's changed now.

I don't think Carl liked his look much.
He changed it, didn't he?

Well, thank you for the news.

Ma 'am.

I wish you'd come. I have to go home to
my children. Maria, you'd do well to get

on this train with us right now.

Mox Mox is out there somewhere.

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

My children will not live in Fort Worth.

It's still a long way to Mexico.

You ain't got a heart.

A horse can walk, so can I.

Is that dogs?

Dogs.

You'd be running hounds in a country
like this.

That lion -killing man.

Those are his dogs.

He has nine of them.

That's Ben Lilly.

Forget that old man's still alive.

He prefers bear.

If he can't find bear, he'll kill lions.

Those dogs were chasing the mule deer.

They get many shots to kill a mule deer.

I'll go see.

Let's keep a close guard tonight.

I heard six, seven guns.

It's night.

Who'd be hunting at night?

Probably some vaqueros on their way
home.

Old Ben Lilly, he's cranky.

Might have made him mad.

What's that?

Be quiet.

I've heard a lot of sounds, Captain. I
ain't never heard no sound like that.

You don't suppose that could be an
eagle? I've heard that eagles scream. Of

course, I never heard one, though.

What about the Indians, Captain?

Should we wait for them?

Keep the tracker, Mr. Bookguy.

You'll find out.

But if Mr. Lilly travels so much, maybe
he'll know something about Joey Gardner.

Then Lilly won't know nothing.

Why not?

Then Lilly isn't interested in humans.
He's only interested in bears and lions.

I saw the tracks of two wolves.

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

Did you find Ben Lilly?

Yes.

He was hiding in the snake's den.

What about his dog?

It's the snake you do not see.

The man burner.

He has six men with him.

One of them is very large.

He killed Ben Lilly's dogs.

Great. They roped his best dog and
burned it.

It must be the sound we heard.

Where is Mr. Lilly now?

He's not far.

I think he's confused.

Well, he's always been that way. Right
now, he looks like he ain't burnt.

Mr. Lilly?

Mr. Lilly?

He burnt my best dog, Captain.

Killed all nine of my hounds.

And burnt old Flop alive.

Didn't eat them. Just killed them.

You'll see.

The dogs are just ahead.

I don't want to see a burned dog.

Burnt old Flop alive.

Old Flop was my best dog.

Mr. Lilly, you're lucky he didn't burn
you.

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

I hid in a snake den.

I don't fear snakes.

Mox Mox is a snake to fear.

You best come along with us till this is
settled.

I'm going to Santa Fe.

Get me some new dogs.

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

I don't like to change the dogs up in
the house.

That killer done killed my dog.

I got to get Santa back.

You be careful, then.

Be careful,

again. The dog.

The flop's gone.

Rickney's loco, kid.

Oh, Ben Lilly's always been loco.

Damn few left like him.

Like him how, Captain?

Oh, like him. him, like Gus, like
Hickok, old Kit Carson.

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

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

You're a farmer yourself, Corporal.

Respectable. Charlie Goodnight's got his
ranch.

It's just a killer's.

A few like old Ben Lilly kept to the old
ways.

Well, and you, Captain.

What? You kept the old ways.

All right, there.

Doctor, how are your children today?

Sleeping with their fishes.

I'm going to see them again tomorrow.

Mama, you've come back.

Mary, where have you been so long?

Mama, there was a man here.

I think he was the king. He said I was
pretty.

Where did this king come from?

What was his name?

Paul came through, Mary.

Down to Concho.

Came through and went where?

Down to Maravilla Canyon, I think.

He done you one favor before he left,
though. He ruined that Sheriff Donovan.

Beat him nearly to death with a rifle.

Didn't you know that Sheriff was strong
enough to hold a gun?

Some bit chop -chop.

Did the famous shoes bring him?

What did you tell him about Joey?

Famous shoes didn't bring him.

And I didn't tell him nothing.

Hell, it wasn't on the down.

Well... If that thing

ever come back, you come into the house,
do not let him look at you.

He has a bad... Bad man.

He wants to kill Joy.

Do not ever let him look to you to
understand.

But he didn't do anything bad.

He said I was pretty.

He was right.

You are.

This Indian owes me a nickel.

He's on your payroll.

Cough it up.

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

Liquor ain't that cheap.

He come up lame.

I rubbed some lotion on his foot. That
lotion cures all ills except for a weak

pecker.

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

I'll pay the money.

Although I don't... Happened to have it
with me right now. They have a nickel,

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

Expect the war party. You seem to be
thoroughly armed.

I expect perdition. Always have.

Perdition can come in the form of a
bullet. That's why I'm ready. I want to

prepared to shoot back.

Well, we've had a norther at our back.
If it's still a saloon, we'd like

I expect perdition will come in the form
of disease.

I'm susceptible to diseases.

Can't shoot a damn disease.

Hope you catch the Garza boy next week.

This week wouldn't be too soon, neither.

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

Depends on when Famous Shoes picks up
his track.

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

And that boy, that's my chair.

accomplished marksman and he's affecting
my profits shooting people who might be

coming here to drink besides i'm not as
tranquil with myself as i'd like to be

used to i could sit out there in that
chair and concentrate on business

now i got to worry there's somebody on a
hill a mile away it's gonna plug me

while i'm concentrating there's no hill
within a mile of here and a half mile

more likely this one for a rifle shot
anyway.

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

You're not a competent marksman,
neither.

And you don't know everything.

Charlie Goodnight thinks he knows
everything. So do you.

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

There's a lot safer places to live along
this border if you're the sort to let

killers disturb your naps.

I've weathered many a killer.

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

That boy ain't the only reason you ought
to start napping indoors, ain't you?

Heard of Mox Mox?

Who'd the lunatic send now?

Ben Lilly's best dog.

Not flop.

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

Why would he want to burn a person?

Because he likes to, that's why.

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

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

Why's that, Captain?

We got two different threats to deal
with now. We got Mox Mox and the young

killer.

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

Well, it's going to upset Mr.

Brooks. I expect so.

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

Where do you want us to go?

Go back to Owenaga, where we were.

Joey Garza will have to show up at home
sometime.

Don't you challenge him without me. You
camp on the concho about a half a day

from the village.

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

I appreciate your concern, but we ain't
got much choice.

Deputy Plunkett and Mr.

Brookshire... They ought to be sent off
alone. They're too green.

If Joey Garza shows up, they'd stand no
chance.

You might not stand much of one either,
Kim.

I expect you can hold your own,
Corporal.

Well, good luck to you, then.

Good luck to you.

Keep those men close. You set a decent
guard at night.

What's wrong, Corville?

You shouldn't have no hard trip.

Cross the river, follow Tocacho, wait a
few days.

I doubt if I'll be very long.

You ain't worried about us, Captain. I
reckon we can stay pointed south.

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

What is it, then?

Well, it's you, Captain.

That Mox Mox has got six men with him.
One's that quick Jimmy Combs. He's a

charity. Hard man to take.

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

Don't neglect any killers now.

See you there, men.

Hey, you oughtn't to leave that pistol
cocked, you know. You might have a bad

dream and jerk to shoot your knee off.

Might rain whores out of the sky, too.

But I doubt it.

Son, I hit him.

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

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

Richard,

Patrick got a big kid. Me and Marcy, we
ain't had no food.

Yeah, here, son.

Whoa.

I got some beef jerky.

That ought to get you to the town.

So we can notify your folks.

What's your name?

Bobby. Bobby Finn.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Bobby Fant?

Son?

Jasper, you're Paul?

Jasper Fant?

That's Paul.

How'd you know his name? Well, we went
to Montana together.

It used to work for me.

Now, Bobby, we're going to have to ride
hard all night.

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

my saloon with your damn bubble.

I'm the Lord West of Pecos.

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

Our horse, mister.

Well, your horse was a lot worse off
than we thought.

We gave it up last night.

Fort Stockton's only 12 miles away.
We'll make it.

Well,

you'll see her soon.

You want an ambulance in place?

You haven't got it all day.

You'll have to excuse me, Miss Parker.

I've had a long trip. I didn't recognize
you.

It's Mox Mox.

Mox Mox.

Did you kill him?

I hit him.

There's a chance he'll die.

Let's get these children up to my room.
We'll get them all in bed.

What about my husband, Kat?

He's fine, Miss Parker.

He's waiting for me in Mexico.

Build a fire, Jimmy.

It's chill.

No more fires for you, Mock.

Why not? What's wrong with you?

Not near as much as is wrong with you.

I ain't shot in the lung and I ain't
dying.

And you're both.

Building you a fire would be a waste of
time.

And I ain't got the time to waste on a
man that's dying. I ain't dying.

I'm just shut up a little.

I'll live if I can get warm.

Hellfire will warm you, Mox. You'll be
plenty warm there.

There you strip and be clean, you turkey
scum.

I should have killed you a long time
ago.

I should have shot you in your sleep.

I could be sound asleep and drunk, and
I'd still be too quick for you, Mox.

That's why I'm called Quick Jimmy,
remember?

You damn snake!

Get away, mad horse!

Make me a fire!

I ain't the snake.

You're the one they call the snake you
do not see.

Only old Carl seen you.

He didn't get much of a shot, though,
did he?

But he still killed you.

I ain't there.

I'm just shot, damn you.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Please, leave me some matches.

No, I am in a hurry.

Old Carl might be coming.

He ain't coming.

He's got them brats.

I don't believe I'll take that chance.

If he does come, he'll find you frozen.

You know, I never thought an old man
like that could beat you, Mox.

But I guess I was wrong.

Get done for, Mox.

You ought to cut your own damn throat
and be done with it.

I didn't mean to pass out like that this
morning.

I'm worried about my horse. I don't
usually go off without stabling him.

The sheriff saved him for you.

He was glad to do it.

He saved those two children from a hard
death, Captain.

There are plenty of folks that can
stable a horse.

My five -year -old can do it perfectly
well.

I used to take care of my own mounts.

Any news from Jasper Pham?

They're arriving today.

I believe they're going to go right on
back with the children.

They've got cattle to work.

I was a prisoner of Mox Mox, Captain.

When Blue Duck had me, I know what you
saved those children from.

The Vance have every reason to be
grateful.

They're very lucky, and they know it.

I didn't know that Mox Mox was with Blue
Duck. I don't recall P .I. mentioning

that. He never mentioned it because he
didn't know.

I never even told Gus.

I told him it's a good night when he
gave me the news that my son was alive.

When can we go to my house?

We're going to have to go a horseback.

There's not much road between here and
Max.

It'll be cold.

I hope you don't doubt I can ride,
Captain.

I rode all the way to Nebraska with that
coward you and Gus drove.

I can ride and I can keep up. The cold
don't discourage me.

I want to find my husband.

It ain't the riding of the coal, ma 'am.
What is it, then? I can leave now. I'm

packed. Captain, did you get the news?

What news?

Joey Garza killed Judge Roy Bean.

He gut shot him and then strung him up
to his own barn.

Hung him.

Sheep herder found him. Came by to get
drunk.

There the man hung.

Boy must have been watching when we
left.

Damn it all.

Were there any other bodies?

No, just the judge.

Sheep herders are all scared now.
They're bringing their sheep closer in

towns. I don't know what good that'll
do.

They could drive those sheep right down
the middle of the street and still sit

back and pick them off.

Do you think P's okay, Captain?

He didn't leave before I did.

I don't think McGar's boy followed P. I
think he followed me.

I felt it all the way here, but I never
could catch him at it. He's damn clever

to ambush Bean like that.

Bean's a tough old rooster, but he's
caught his last call.

I'm much obliged to you, Sheriff, for
staying with my horse.

It's my pleasure, Captain.

I appreciate it.

Let me go, Captain.

I'll ride night and day if I have to.

Well, that was not my objection, ma 'am.

Well, what is your objection, then, if
you have one?

I'm just not sure I can protect you.
That's it.

I'll let Joey Garza slip right by and
kill Roy Bean. Then I'll let Mox Mox get

away. That's two poor performances in a
row.

I'm just not sure I can protect you.

Did you hear me?

I heard you, Captain.

But I need to find my husband.

He's the one that needs protection.

Yeah, you'll go alone if I don't take
you.

Let's go get you a horse.

Oh, yeah.

I'm going.

Don't kill an old gringo.

But I will come back for you and Rafael.

I will take you both far down the river
to my cave.

And then I will throw you both on the
cliff.

A great bear will come along and he will
eat you while you are still alive.

Brother likes teasing you.

He's not going to feed you to a bear.

Calmate, Teresa.

Calmate.

Calmate. Calmate.

Calmate.

Calmate.

Calmate. Calmate. Calmate.

Calmate. Calmate.

Calmate.

Start fires in Mexico?

Stop worrying about Colonel Terry.

Makes more sense just to worry about
cooking the warm.

Olin Roy is coming.

He was making a camp, but I told him we
already had a camp.

Olin Roy, I used to know him.

Where's he been over here?

I don't know.

He weighs too much for his horse. I'll
take him. Thank you.

Olin?

Weather's cold, ain't it?

Could be colder.

I've seen colder.

Been anyplace special?

Well, Pater's Negris.

That's a rough town.

No, it ain't.

Of course, any town Wesley Hardin
untattles his horse is rough.

He come in whoring.

What's the news from Down River?

Any news from Laredo?

Yeah, they put that damn Sheriff Jekyll
in his own jail. I hope they hang that

rascal. Bob Jekyll's in our jail?

I'd say that's news.

Yeah, I guess some little gal came in
asking about her husband.

He forced her.

A woman asking about her husband?

Call her name?

No.

I reckon I never heard her name.

Poor thing took rat poison and died.

They're trying to share for the murder.
I doubt he'll hang.

My wife.

I think it was her.

My wife.

My wife.

I think it was her.

It was her.

My wife.

Ted oughtn't to run his horse out in
rough country like this. There's bluffs

down there by the river. A horse could
ride off of them.

Well, you know, that's two of us now.

First Katie and now the deputy's wife?

How far is it back?

Back where?

Back to where it's not like this.

People getting killed every day.

No houses, no streetcars.

Back to civilization!

Colding.

You was just a mean bandit, you old
squint.

You should have been a cook. You like
fire so much.

O 'Call was lucky.

Was it Garza?

No.

It was some vaqueros.

They were very poor.

Their horses had no shoes.

They probably wanted his guns, horse,
saddle, and his clothes.

All his clothes?

Let's get him buried, then.

It was far there.

You can call me Lorraine, Captain.

It wouldn't disturb you.

We've known each other long enough it
wouldn't be rude.

It's just my rough habits, I guess.

I expect I never really got quite
civilized.

Do you see some horses off to the
northwest?

Yeah, I see three.

Looks like they're grazing.

Didn't see them last night.

I think I'll ride out and check the
brands.

Probably wandered off from some remuda.

We can return them on the way south.

I'll pack up and be ready when you get
back. I won't be long

You ought to go on.

P .I. is below the river.

When the real cots show you, you can
make it in two days.

Adam, I can't ride off and leave you
here to die.

If you die, I'll go.

But not until then.

It's foolish.

I could linger for a week.

I'd be obliged if you'd go.

Am I such poor company?

You got family.

I don't.

You need to stop talking to us.

Here.

Dillard. Dillard.

Dillard.

Pardon?

Dillard Brawley.

He's a barber over in Lonesome Dove.

Never used a barber in Lonesome Dove. I
don't guess I ever met him.

Yeah, he got a centipede in his pants
and ruined his leg.

Got to be we had to cut his leg off.

He died of blood poisoning He ruined

his voice screaming when we took the leg
off

You're gonna have to do the same You're
gonna have to take my leg off or I'll

die Shoulder to the weight with the leg

The leg is bad. You said there was a
town where more than two days there'll

doctor there to tend to your leg. I'll
never make it two days.

I'm in the same position Gus was in.

I ain't a ladies' man like Gus.

I got no women to lose.

If I do it, you might bleed to death.

I ain't done it yet.

If I have to live one -legged, I will. I
won't live long enough to kill that

boy.

I'm better disappointed in you.

You don't think there's a better reason
for living than killing a boy?

Killing's the only reason you think of
living. You just might as well die.

I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of it, Captain.

You oughtn't to have taken my husband.

He's no killer.

You and Gus were the killers.

I love my Gus McRae, but not like I love
my husband.

Our children love him and need him.

You ought to have taken him from us.

In regards to the boys I killed, he's
killed a regiment of men. He ought to be

stopped. I don't care.

There's killers and killers and killers
out there.

My husband's got nothing to do with it.

You ought to have let him be.

Look at me, Captain.

You remember what I was, huh?

I was a whore.

Two dollars is all I cost.

I don't know how many men bought me.

I expect if you brought them all here,
they'd about fill this desert.

I expect they'd nearly make an army.

Do you remember that I was a whore
captain?

But I'm not a whore now.

I'm a married woman.

I'm a mother.

I teach school.

I didn't stay what I was, Captain.

Can you understand that?

I didn't stay what I was.

Clara Allen cared for me.

And she showed me a better way.

I'll cut your leg off.

I'll cut it off now.

If you die, you were killed by a killer
like yourself.

But if you live, you won't stay killing.

I didn't stay a whore.

There's a... There's a whetstone in my
saddlebags.

You're gonna have to take a knife and
hit it on a rock.

Hit it hard.

You got to nick it a little so it'll
saw.

Stick a knife in the fire.

You're going to have to cut bone.

I'll do my best, Kathy.

I'm scared.

I'm going to have to do this.

If I die, it'll be the bullet to kill
me, not the knife.

Cut.

Cut down where the...

Bones been shattered.

Might make it easier.

I'm sorry.

I guess Gus and me didn't have too much
luck when it come to legs.

You know, Gus, he wanted me to take him
back to Texas.

You know, I had the herd to settle and
winter was coming on.

So I packed him away for the winter.

You know, I thought I'd done it nice so
he'd keep.

I packed a leg long with the rest of
him, but... I thought I'd done a good

The damn doctor left the door open to
his shed, and the varmint got in and

knocked the casket off.

Whatever it was, he run off with his
leg. I... I expected

it was a wolverine.

Gus would have laughed at that story.

Gus.

Gus laughed at everything.

It's a gift I often wished I had.

Me too.

I assume it appeals to women, seemed to
it, in Gus's case.

It's nice, but it has its limits.

My husband wouldn't know a joke if it
walked up and slapped him in the face.

But I still put him above all the men.

He loyal be.

I fought with him and men in engagement.

He never shirked.

Can somebody help us?

Billy!

That's Woodrow Call.

Somebody's about finished here.

We take him in.

Cut the leg off. I did.

Either that or let him die.

Oh, my, it's the man who was here
before.

The man who's a king.

He's not a king now.

Put him by the fire so I can look at his
wound.

No, I put it too close to the heart.

I ain't going anywhere from that.

You can't. I don't want you in there.

No. There's no doctor here.

Got a doctor across the river in
Presidio.

Best we got here is a butcher.

Gordo cannot do it.

He'll kill him.

Who shot this man?

Captain Call thinks it was Joey Garza,
though.

Do you know Joey Garza?

He's my son.

I'm Joey's mother.

But I'm not like him.

You go and rest.

No. Do not worry. I'll take care of your
friend.

If I had men to kill him, I'll never let
him into my house.

Treta, take her to my bed.

No, no. Do not worry.

Go and rest.

Do you have any children?

No, I have five.

Do you tell them stories?

Yes, I tell them stories.

I will tell you a story about an old
spider woman.

Then you can tell it to your children
when you go home.

That's nice.

I'd love to hear your story.

Bye, Dora Woman.

He's beneath a rock.

Near the deep parts of the river.

And she would...

You really think the cigar's a boy?

I have no idea who it might be. It might
be those Beccaros that killed Ted

Plunkard.

Well, it was plain old bandits.

They just rode in slaughtered as they
wouldn't have shot the horses either.

Well, then it's him.

We're done for.

Why didn't he just shoot us? He killed
all the animals. It don't make sense.

Nothing makes any sense.

This whole trip hasn't made any sense.

Captain Otto caught this boy by now.
He's taking too much time.

Where is he?

He must have run into trouble.

What that means is the captain won't be
coming because he's dead.

Which means that we're going to be dead,
too, just as soon as this boy feels

like finishing us off. The captain won't
be coming.

No, he's always come before.

We just hold up for a couple days.

We'll sneak back into camp tonight and
get some grub.

That boy hit what he was aiming at.

The question is, why wasn't he aiming at
us?

Nothing that happens out here makes any
sense.

It's all just killing.

Captain's always come before.

I reckon he'll come this time.

I just hope we're not dead when he gets
here.

Where'd the Indian go?

He's hiding, I expect.

Think he'll turn up?

He wouldn't just run off and leave us.

Hey, he was...

He wants my wife to teach him how to
read.

Hey, why don't we hike down the river?

We can't get lost if we're in the river.

We might flush us out. I got a feeling
he wants us to run, although I don't

why he does.

The scoundrel took it all.

I'll say he did.

He didn't even leave us a pot.

Nothing to cook in it if he had.

Way to cook it. You're the pipe smoker.
Didn't you even keep a match?

No, I haven't fired up yet.

Well, you've eaten raw horse meat
before.

Head down river.

Famous shoes will catch up with us
eventually.

No. No, let him come and kill us.

He's going to anyway.

He knows right where we are. He's got
our food, our ammunition.

He's just playing with us now. He can
kill us any time he wants to, and he

it.

I have spent nothing but cold nights
since I got to Texas, and I'm damned if

going to spend another cold night
squatting on my heels just to get shot

morning. He could just shoot me now and
spare me the shivering. Mr.

Brooks, don't give up.

Don't give up.

We might beat him yet.

Captain could come back and scare him
off.

What if he's already killed, Captain?

Huh? I expect he has, myself.

Captain's already four days late. You
said yourself he's never late. No, no,

We go back to the creek, Pat. We just
give it one more night. We go back. He

might let us go.

Back where?

Back where? There's nothing back that
way.

I'd rather be shot than starved.

Of shivering.

And I'll tell Joey Garza that, too, if I
see him.

I'll tell Colonel Terry something, too,
if I ever make it back to the office

alive. Joey Garza can rob all the trains
he wants to, but Ned Brookshire is

resigning.

I'll be damned if I'm going to wander
around Mexico any longer free.

No, Mr. Brookshire.

Don't give up. Just give it one more
night. There's two of us. We stand a

chance of sticking together.

Well, I appreciate that, but I have
waited.

I've waited.

And now I'm going.

Killer or no killer.

In fact, I can get down the river as
well as the neck, man.

If I don't get through, all I ask is
that you send my love to my sister.

I don't know your sister, Mr. Bookshaw.

I wouldn't know how to get her, too.

Her name is Matilda Morris.

She lives in Avon, Connecticut.

Just tell her that I regret that I
didn't have time to write before I left,

Colonel Terry wanted me on that next
train.

Well, at least I've seen your face.

Haven't you got any more lanterns?

No.

Well, if he doesn't bleed any more out
of that leg, I reckon it's going to

But that bullet in his chest, I can't
get in that close to his heart.

So that bullet's going to have to stay
right where it is.

Will he live, Doctor?

Well, he's lived this long. I reckon
he'll go on living.

And if he does die, at least he killed a
man burner first.

Captain Call, Kilmarnock?

Yep, old Wesley Hardin.

Seen the corpse himself.

You didn't hear about that?

No.

And I don't think the captain did
either. He told me he hit him, but he

know the man died.

We don't get much news over here in
Mexico.

There could be a war going on that we
wouldn't know about.

Yeah, well, Mox Mox is dead.

Now you keep them bandages fresh, you
hear?

And make sure they're clean.

Comprende?

Mama, I want to give him some frijoles.

To whom? To your goat?

No, dear Capitano. I want to feed him
when he wakes up.

He's lost a lot of blood.

I wonder why a man would want to burn
people up like that.

We'll have to tell the cat when he comes
to.

He'll want to know.

Might help him get better.

Let's just hope he wakes up.

Brooks your dad?

Yes.

Joey shot him.

When did you come to kill me then?

He says if you'll give him your boots,
he will let you go.

He doesn't think you will follow him
without your boots.

Why didn't he shoot you?

I'm too old to waste bullets on.

Captain Carl is in Onhinaga. But Joey
shot his leg off.

He thinks the captain will die.

It was your woman who brought the
captain to Mexico.

Lorena.

You know Inaga? You sure?

Joey saw her. She has blonde hair.

It is your woman.

She cut the captain's leg off and then
brought him to Onaga.

Sorry.

Joey wants me to bring him your boots.

Where is he?

He's by the concho.

If you go toward the village, I think he
will kill you.

If you go the other way, he might let
you go.

Where can I go where my wife is?

I never should have left my family. I
never should have left them.

I've been kept enough for nobody.

If I get out of this, I'll make it up to
them. I'll never leave them again.

Can I borrow your knife?

Joey took mine.

I want to cut myself some horse meat so
I will have some food.

That big shotgun, don't restructure you.

Did Joey take it?

No.

He thought it was too ugly. He only took
the man's watch.

It's still laying there then?

It's a knife.

It's a bowie knife.

It keeps a good edge. I'll give it to
you.

I just want one favor in return.

Take him to Joey. Tell him I'm leaving.

When you pass the body, Mr. Brookshire,
I want you to stop.

Just pause for a second.

Just pretend like you're looking at a
track or something. I need to know about

where that big shotgun is. I figure it's
my only chance.

I'll take the boots to Joey.

Are you sure your woman will teach me
about tracks and books?

She'll teach you.

Then I will stop.

Take your boots.

You hit Joey pretty good. He won't need
them.

I thought he was supposed to be a prank
shot.

If I blew him a turn tall, I think I'll
take this blanket. It's better than

mine.

And this knife.

You can have yours back.

Let's go back to the river to fight out.

You don't have to hide.

I think you killed Joey.

Let's go down here and hide and make
sure.

I will go get your woman and be back
tomorrow.

I reckon I owe you my life, Mr.
Brookshire.

I wish you was alive so I could thank
you.

Thank you for bringing their shotgun.

I'd better kill another chicken.

Too many people to feed.

Mama, please do not kill my little hen.

Send to your patient, Teresa.

I'm not going to kill your hen. An
Indian common.

He looks old, but he's not slow.

Why, it's famous shoes.

He might have some news about your
husband.

Your man is alive.

He? He said you are a teacher.

That you will teach me how to read
tracts and books when you have time.

He's alive?

Yes. He has horse meat.

He won't go hungry.

Do you think you would have time to
teach me about tracts and books? Take me

my husband. I'll make time.

I'll gladly make time.

B .I.'s alive.

Why ain't he here?

Captain.

Joey shot him and broke his hip.

He's not bleeding much, but he cannot
walk fast.

And what about my son?

P .I. shot Joey with the big shotgun.

Joey is hit in the back, but he rode
away.

I don't know where he is, but I didn't
follow his track.

If I take you to your husband, Joey
might follow and kill both of us.

Oh, hell, I'll take you to him.

Just got to tell me where he is.

I'd be a lot more comfortable with your
husband to kill Joey on the spot.

Maybe he died of his wounds.

No.

Joey ain't dead.

I wouldn't be this jumpy.

Joey's out there somewhere.

He's got that rifle.

You're on the way.

And give me my knife.

Maria. Maria.

Please. Maria, please come quick. The
baby's coming.

I'll be there in a minute.

Her labor has just begun. No, no, Maria.
She's screaming. You must come now.

Please. Please.

I'll come now.

You must come with me.

No, Mama. I want to stay here with the
old man.

You cannot stay with him.

Not now.

But why?

Because your brother might come, and I
do not know what he may do.

I have to go and bring this baby into
the world.

And you and Rafael must come with me, so
you'll be safe.

But the old man might die while I am
gone.

And you might die too, unless you do as
I say. I do not want to be away from

Señor Cor too long.

He is my friend.

He was not a very good friend to your
grandfather. Do not talk bad about Señor

Cor.

I like him.

You go on, Tessie.

You do what your mother tells you. I'll
be all right till you get back.

Maria!

Maria, wait! I want to talk to you!
Eduardo!

I have no time now!

Stay close, where I can hear the bell.

Joey, I will run away from you. You'll
run away from him if he doesn't cut you

first. Just wait for me when I hear the
bell.

She's dying. She's dying. Please help
her.

I'm going to have a beautiful baby.

Look what you see.

Pea.

Pea, honey.

Pea.

Pea, honey.

Laurie.

Laurie, you found me.

It's winter and you come all this way.

Well, why wouldn't I?

We're married anyway.

I couldn't be without you, baby.

Neither could the children.

I'm hurting you all. There

won't be no more of this fighting.

I'm done with it.

Captain, we have to find somebody else
to do it now.

You're not dead yet, old man?

I could kill you with your own gun.

But that would be doing you a favor.

Jorge.

It's a good boy.

I love the way he wiggles.

He's going to give you much trouble.

How do I hold him?

Give him to the old sisters.

I couldn't do anything.

I couldn't do anything.

Teresa, do not be afraid, my girl.

Joey is dead.

Now you and Rafael are safe.

Billy will come and take good care of
us.

The old sisters will stay until he
comes.

Good boy again.

Please, wash him.

Make him nice.

No, no, no.

Maria, they think he is the devil.

If they touch him, they will go to hell.

Then get out.

I'll wash him myself.

Teresa, bring me water.

Oh, Mama, you're bleeding. I can feel
it. Maria, you're hurt.

Maria.

He's my son.

I want to put clean clothes on him.

I must do it now.

That's all that people do.

What's happened?

We did not always.

Don't forget my children.

Talk to them about me when you are with
them.

Give them your memories.

Tell them how I danced and laughed when
I was young and pretty.

You're still young and pretty.

Now go.

Go and get drunk.

I've got my husband back.

I expect we can take care of all the
children that come along.

Mama.

Mama.

Mama.

There's no more places left in this
house to lay sick or dead, folks, I'll

you that.

Our picture taken with Joey before you
bury him.

That's right.

We shall kill him. Go away, you
scrounging buzzards!

Let go!

is just a boy.

Clary's bigger than he was.

There ought to be singing.

Well, if you start, I guess I could join
in.

Do you know when they ring the golden
bells?

I could piece it together, I think.

with thee, O Lord of all.

Amen.

What if one of our boys goes bad?

What? What if one of our boys goes bad
like Joey?

Oh, they won't.

Why not?

Well, because they've got to keep their
mom and their pa.

Who'll keep them in line?

Maria was a good woman.

Her other children are nice.

But Joey went bad.

I could live without a charcoal bed.

I need to walk.

I need to walk.

And then what happened?

She chased that bear.

Right in the river.

In the river. Yeah.

She scared him.

In the river.

Could you spare me some liquor,
gentlemen? I'm feeling kind of chill.

Here, ma 'am. This one ain't been
slobbering on too much.

I don't mean to impose. You don't need
to choke off your conversation just for

me. Oh, we wasn't saying much anyway.

We just chatting about Mary.

What was she like? I didn't have time to
get to know her very well.

She's married four times.

Four times.

Three got killed.

The other in runoff.

I don't care for any of them myself.

Hell, it was Mary who took him as
husband, not me.

Then Joey went bad.

Was she ever happy?

Yeah.

We used to dance a lot.

Did you love her?

She wouldn't have me, you know.

We got along anyway.

Were any of her husbands good to her?

Well, she had her children.

She's real good to her children.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Famous shoes.

Where are you going?

To the Sierra Madre.

I want to watch the Eagles.

Billy, you gave me the great eye.

When you get tired of watching them come
to our house, I'll teach you to read.

Yes, Parker.

You're going to be kind to live with us,
Captain.

You're going to have to call me Laurie
now.

Or Lorena, if you prefer.

Yes, ma 'am.

Can you call?

Over here, Tessie.

My gut is sick. Oh, here, here, here. My
gut is sick.

Oh, let me see. I'm not breathing right
now. Oh, I'm sorry.

There's the trouble.

I expect it's snake bit.

Your little goat, imagine stepped in a
hole and an old snake bit it.

Will he die, senor?

Expect he will, Tessie.

He's small.

If he dies, I hope he will see my
mother.

She is with the dead.

She will take care of my goat.

I expect she will.

Her mother eaten by the reaver.

He will never find her.

Senor, call.

What, Tessie?

I don't understand where the dead live.

I don't understand that too well,
myself.

I dream about my mother.

I dream that she is with me and my
rooster.

When we go away Can we take my rooster?

Yeah, we can take you rooster

Benjamin's crying.

Hello,

Woodrow.

Can I give you a hand?

Well, it's a nice small, but it'll make
a good little home to cap it.

I never thought I'd see the captain at
ease with anyone.

Tessie kept him alive. He'd have given
it up if it hadn't been for her, I

Ma, I wish you wasn't so sad.

It makes me sad to look at him.

Well,

I guess this old axe will cut for a
while.

Tessie, you think you could reach over
here in my pocket to one I don't reach

too good and see if you can find my
little knife?

There you go.

Now you take it. It's for you.

For being my help.

I didn't do much.

You helped plenty.

I spent my knife for over 30 years. I
want you to have it.

Thank you, senor.

What will I do with it?

Well... You might need to cut a string.

great Texas Ranger once, Mr. Goodnight?

I've always heard he was the greatest
Ranger of all.

Yes, he had exceptional determination.

Well, but now, look, what's he doing?

Carping spades on a darn farm.

Woodrow Call had his time.

It was a long time, too.

Life's but a knife edge, anyway.

Sooner or later, a man slips and gets
cut.

You ain't slipped, sir.

How would you know, son?

Miss

Parker,

I got a question.

I've heard tell there's schools for the
blind.

I wonder if you know anything about
them.

Well, there's a fine one in St. Louis.

Well, I got a little money today that if
Tessie could get her education, I'd

like to help.

I believe she's bright.

Yeah, she's bright.

She needs her education.

Of course, if she went away, we'll all
miss her.

Yes, we'd miss her.

I expect it's the right thing.

Yeah.

It's the right thing.

You're a schoolteacher. I was hoping you
could advise me. Do you think we should

send her now or maybe wait one more
year?

Let's wait one more year, Captain.

Let's wait one more year.

I expect that's Beth.

All the people are paying the fiddler
toughness.

Then he takes, he and his wife are
taking the money and off they go.

Looks like the captain's finally formed
an attachment.

To a female, is that?

Like I do.

Well, not quite, honey.

Fiddlers just playing away.

They're all dancing.

And that looks like some sort of a pole
there. I guess that's what they call a

maypole, I think.

I don't know what that is, but they're
all giving them their tuppence, and then

they went away.
