[DISTANT HORSES WHINNYING]

- HEY, SHERIFF,

IT'S REAL NICE OF YOU TO OFFER
TO TAKE ME TO FOLSOM LIKE THIS.

- WHY DON'T YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH?

- JUST MAKING SMALL TALK'S
ALL I'M DOING.

- YOU LISTEN TO ME, TATE.

WE GOT ALMOST TWO DAYS' RIDE
TILL WE GET TO FOLSOM.

NOBODY'S GONNA CARE
IF YOU GET BRUISED UP SOME.

COME ON!

- [GROANING]

[HORSES WHINNYING]

- [GROANS]

- COME ON!

- HA HA HA!

- CUT ME LOOSE.

- I CAN'T BELIEVE
THEY WAS DUMB ENOUGH

TO THINK TWO OF THEM
COULD STOP ME.

- [WHEEZING]

- WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

[GUNSHOT]

[CHICKENS CLUCKING]

[DISTANT COWS LOWING]

- JACOB, GET THAT PITCHFORK
MOVING, SON.

THAT HORSE ISN'T GONNA
FEED ITSELF.

YOU SLOW DOWN WITH
THAT PITCHFORK, YOUNG MAN.

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TRY
TO GO FASTER, YOU ONLY
END UP GOING SLOWER.

SUPPER'S ABOUT READY, MATT.

- ALL RIGHT.
I'M GONNA FINISH UP HERE.

- DON'T FORGET TO WASH UP.

[DISTANT HORSE WHINNYING]

[HOOF BEATS APPROACHING]

- MA'AM.

SHERIFF.

- JACOB, GO FINISH SETTING
THE TABLE FOR ME.

- WHAT IS IT? THEM DELL BOYS
SHOOTING UP THE SALOON AGAIN?

- NO. ELI TATE
AND JOHNNY HOGAN.

THEY'RE BACK.

- GO ON IN, GAIL.

ELI TATE'S SUPPOSED TO BE
SERVING LIFE IN FOLSOM.

- HOGAN SHOT UP
THE PRISON RETURN.

I JUST FOUND OUT
ABOUT IT MYSELF

WHEN BEN PERKINS CAME RUNNING
INTO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE,

SAYING THAT HE SAW ELI STEALING
A CHICKEN FROM HIS COOP.

HE THINKS THE BOYS MADE CAMP
IN THE OLD MINE ENTRANCE.

BEN THOUGHT ABOUT GOING
AFTER THEM WITH HIS SHOTGUN.

DECIDED TO GET HELP INSTEAD.

- THAT'S PROBABLY WHY
HE'S STILL ALIVE.

WIRE THE MARSHAL.

PRISON ESCAPE'S
HIS JURISDICTION.

- ALREADY DID.

THEY'RE SENDING BOYS
FROM SACRAMENTO,

BUT THEY CAN'T GET HERE
TILL DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

- TATE AND HOGAN'LL BE
ON THE MOVE BY THEN.

- I'LL FINISH THIS UP.
YOU GO SAY YOUR GOOD-BYES.

- YOU'RE GOING AFTER THEM.

- IT'S MY JOB.

- A JOB YOU PROMISED
YOU'D QUIT.

- AND I WILL.

- THAT'S WHAT YOU ALWAYS SAY.

- SOMEDAY SOON HANK'S
GONNA BE THE SHERIFF,

AND I WILL JUST BE PLAIN OLD
MATT AUSTIN, RANCHER.

I PROMISE.

- JUST COME HOME TO ME.

- HEY, SON,

YOU STILL GOT YOUR BADGE?

ALL RIGHT.

LISTEN TO YOUR MA.

SO WHEN I COME BACK,

YOU CAN TELL ME
ALL ABOUT 'EM, OK?

BE A GOOD BOY.

OK? ALL RIGHT.

[DOOR OPENING]

ALL RIGHT.

[WOLF HOWLING]

THIS FIRE'S ONLY
A COUPLE HOURS OLD.

MEANS TATE AND HOGAN
ARE STILL ON THE MOVE.

- WELL, WHY'D THEY
COME BACK HERE, ANYWAY?

WHY NOT MAKE A RUN
FOR MEXICO?

YOU PUT THEM UP TWICE
IN THE PAST 6 YEARS.

THEY GOT TO FIGURE YOU'D BE
HOT ON THEIR HEELS THE FIRST
YOU HEAR OF THEIR ESCAPE.

WHAT?

- THEY CAME BACK FOR ME.

[CHICKENS CLUCKING]

- WELL, WELL.
HOWDY, MISSIS.

WHERE'S YOUR HUSBAND?

HE'S OUT WITH THE CATTLE.

HE'LL BE BACK IN A MINUTE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

- WELL, I'VE GOT A SCORE
TO SETTLE, SO I NEED
TO SEE YOUR HUSBAND.

NOW, I DON'T THINK HE'S
OUT WITH THE CATTLE.
WHERE IS HE?

SEE, NOW,
I THINK YOU'RE LYING.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT I DO
TO PEOPLE WHO LIE TO ME?

I DO BAD THINGS.

I DON'T LIKE WHEN PEOPLE LIE
TO ME, SO TELL ME WHERE HE IS.

- I'M NOT LYING. JUST--WHATEV--
JUST TAKE WHATEVER YOU WANT!

JUST DON'T HURT MY SON!

- TELL ME WHERE HE IS.

HEY!

- OH!

[GUNSHOT]

- GAIL!

OH!

[PANTING]
OH!

- DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE GOING
AFTER TATE AND HOGAN.

THE SHERIFF AUSTIN I KNEW
WOULDN'T GET HIMSELF KILLED
OVER REVENGE.

- I'M NOT THE SHERIFF
ANYMORE.

- YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHERE TO LOOK FOR 'EM.

- I'LL START IN ASQUEROSOS.

- GIVE ME A FEW HOURS.

ASQUEROSOS IS
A TWO DAYS' RIDE AWAY.

- TATE AND HOGAN HAVE GOT
A DAY'S JUMP ON ME AS IT IS.

GET ON BACK
TO PARKFIELD, HANK.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY.

[HORSE WHINNIES]

- EDDIE, PLEASE.
WE DON'T NEED ANY TROUBLE.

- IT'S TOO LATE.
WE ALREADY GOT TROUBLE.

COME ON, SAMUEL.
WHAT'S HOLDING YOU UP, SON?

- EDDIE, HE OWNS
HALF THE TOWN.

NO MAN IN HIS RIGHT MIND
WILL GO AGAINST HIM.

- WELL, IT'S A GOOD THING
I'M NOT IN MY RIGHT MIND.

- OH, BILLY, YOU GET DOWN
OFF THAT WAGON RIGHT NOW.

YOU WILL NOT TAKE
MY SON WITH YOU.

- MOM, I WANT TO HELP.

- EDDIE, YOU ARE MY BROTHER
AND I LOVE YOU,

BUT THIS IS A FOOL'S ERRAND.

LAMAR HORN IS JUST LOOKING
FOR A REASON TO COME AFTER US.

DON'T GIVE HIM ONE.

AND YOU LISTEN TO ME
WHEN I SPEAK TO YOU.

WE WILL GO INTO TOWN
ANOTHER TIME.

- LISTEN TO YOUR MAMA.

I DIDN'T START THIS.

COME ON, LET'S GO. HYAH!

HYAH!

[DISTANT BELL RINGING]

[SHOUTING, INDISTINCT]

- ALL RIGHT, CLARA.
I'LL WAIT.

[SALOON MUSIC PLAYING]

- [GIGGLING]

- GENTLEMEN.

- CAN I HAVE A WHISKEY?
AND LEAVE THE BOTTLE?

- YES, SIR.
THERE YOU GO.

- THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

- THERE'S ROOM AT THIS TABLE,
MR. AGUILAR.

- MUCH OBLIGED.

- YOU'RE GONNA SPEAK YOUR PEACE,
I SUGGEST YOU DO IT NOW.

LAMAR HORN HAS EARS
ALL OVER CROCKETT.

MY GUESS IS HE KNOWS
YOU'RE HERE ALREADY.

- I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T LIVED HERE
VERY LONG, MR. VAUGHN,

BUT I'M SURE YOU KNOW
ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THAT ME
AND MY FAMILY ARE HAVING.

- EVERYONE KNOWS
ABOUT IT, EDDIE.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

[TAP TAP TAP]

- I'M LOOKING TO HIRE
SOME PEOPLE.

SOMEBODY'S BEEN RUNNING
OFF MY CATTLE,

DESTROYING MY PROPERTY.

I'LL PAY A DOLLAR A DAY
FOR YOUR SERVICES.

NOW, THAT'S BETTER
THAN ANYTHING YOU'LL MAKE
WORKING AS A FARM HAND.

- EDUARDO?

- HORN.

- YOU'RE NOT CAUSING ANY TROUBLE
FOR MR. HORN, ARE YOU, EDDIE?

- NOTHING ILLEGAL
ABOUT PROTECTING YOUR HOME.

- BUT IT ISN'T REALLY
YOUR HOME, IS IT?

- MY FAMILY'S LIVED ON
THAT PROPERTY FOR OVER 90 YEARS,

SINCE CALIFORNIA WAS
PART OF MEXICO.

- BUT IT AIN'T MEXICO ANYMORE,
AND I'M SORRY TO TELL YOU

THAT THE HOMESTEAD ACT DOESN'T
APPLY THIS FAR WEST.

AND I'VE ALREADY APPLIED
FOR THAT LAND GRANT,

SO NEXT MONTH WHEN
THE TAX ASSESSOR GETS OUT HERE,

I'LL BE THE ONE THAT HOLDS
THE PROPER PAPERWORK
FOR THAT PROPERTY.

- YES...

BUT ONLY IF YOU RUN US OFF,

AND ME AND MY SISTER?

WE AIN'T LEAVING.

- DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, EDDIE.

YOU TAKE THE TIME RIGHT NOW
TO PLAN A PROPER FUTURE
FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

MY OFFER STILL STANDS.
YOU CAN COME AND WORK FOR ME,

TO PROVIDE FOR YOUR SISTER
AND NEPHEW.

- YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST TAKE
WHATEVER YOU WANT, HUH?

WELL, YOU CAN'T HAVE MY RANCH.

A DOLLAR A DAY TO ANYONE
WHO STANDS WITH ME.

- [CHUCKLING]

- YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

- I WAS JUST LEAVING, SHERIFF.

- WE STILL GOT BUSINESS.

- I AIN'T GOT
NO BUSINESS WITH YOU.
MY BUSINESS IS WITH HORN.

- SEE, THIS TOWN IS
MY BUSINESS.

I DON'T TAKE KINDLY TO PEOPLE
CAUSING TROUBLE IN MY TOWN.

- WELL, THEN IT'S HORN YOU NEED
TO BE TALKING TO, NOT ME.

- THIS IS MY TOWN.

- HEY! DON'T GO, BOY.
- LET ME GO!

- TO GET HOME, HE'S GONNA
NEED YOU IN ONE PIECE.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

[THUNDER]

- [SIGHS]
NOW PUT YOUR HEAD
LIKE THIS FOR ME.

AND STAY STILL.
I'M GONNA PUT
SOME IODINE ON YOU.

- COME ON.

- [SIGHS]

IDIOT WHO GIVES HIS SISTER
A LOT OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.

- WE CAN'T JUST
GIVE UP, AMAYA.

THIS IS OUR LAND, OUR HOME.

HORN'S GOT NO RIGHT
TAKING IT AWAY FROM US.

HE GOES BEHIND THE TOWN'S BACK,
APPLIES FOR HUNDREDS
OF LAND GRANTS,

AND DOESN'T EVEN BOTHER
TELLING US ABOUT THE TAX MAN
UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.

- I'M NOT SAYING
YOU'RE WRONG, EDDIE.

[SIGHS]

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT
WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

THEY COULD HAVE KILLED YOU.

HOLD THIS THERE.

- YEAH, WELL, NEXT TIME
I'M GONNA BE WEARING A GUN.

- NEXT TIME?
LIKE YOU'RE GEARING UP
FOR SOME BIG SHOWDOWN?

- WE NEED HELP NOW.
- HELP?

FACE IT.
WE ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER.
THERE'S NO ONE ELSE COMING.

- PEOPLE WANT TO HELP.
THEY'RE JUST AFRAID
OF HORN, THAT'S ALL.

- AND THEY SHOULD BE.

NO ONE IN THIS TOWN
IS GONNA RISK THEIR LIVES
OR THEIR FAMILIES FOR US.

WE CAN'T ASK THEM TO.

- HOLD ON. LOOK.

IT'S 4 WEEKS BEFORE
THE TAX ASSESSOR GETS HERE.

WE ONLY GOT TO HOLD OFF
UNTIL THEN,

BUT I'M GONNA FIND A WAY
TO KEEP US ON THIS LAND.

- I CAN'T BELIEVE
I LET YOU TALK ME INTO GOING
AFTER THE SHERIFF'S FAMILY.

- YEAH?
- AFTER WHAT WE DONE,

HE'S GONNA HUNT US DOWN
LIKE DEER.

- HE AIN'T GONNA CATCH US.

WE GOT AT LEAST
A DAY'S LEAD ON HIM.

BESIDES, WE'RE GOING
TO ASQUEROSOS.

THEY DON'T WELCOME
THE LAW THERE.

- WE DIDN'T STEAL NOTHING
FOR SUPPER.

- WE'LL GET SOME TOMORROW.

- I CAN'T GO TO SLEEP
ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

- WELL, EAT YOUR TONGUE THEN.

GO ON, GO ON.

GO ON, GO ON, GO ON.

- PLEASE, JUST THIS ONCE,
LISTEN TO ME.

YOU NEED TO STAY IN BED
AND LET YOUR BODY HEAL.

- I CAN'T. I JUST CAN'T.
- YOU TOOK QUITE A BEATING
LAST NIGHT.

JUST WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING?

- IT'S BUSINESS.
IT'S NONE OF YOUR CONCERN.

- IT IS VERY MUCH
MY CONCERN.

- UNCLE EDDIE, I PACKED
YOUR SADDLEBAGS.

- THANKS A LOT, BILLY.
THANKS.

I'M GONNA HIRE US
SOME HELP.

- WELL, THEN I MUST
BE HEARING THINGS BECAUSE
IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN,

NO MAN IN CROCKETT
WANTED THE JOB.

- WELL, THAT'S WHY
I'M GOING TO ASQUEROSOS.

- HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?

YOU REMEMBER WHAT PAPA USED
TO TELL US ABOUT THAT PLACE.

IT'S NOTHING BUT DRUNKARDS
AND OUTLAWS--NO ONE WITH WHOM
A DECENT MAN WOULD ASSOCIATE.

- EXACTLY THE KIND OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE WILLING TO TAKE ON
THE LIKES OF LAMAR HORN.

LOOK, I'LL ONLY BE GONE
A COUPLE OF DAYS.

I'LL COME BACK WITH SOME HELP.

- EDDIE, YOU CAN'T
LEAVE US ALONE.

IF MR. HORN FINDS OUT
THAT YOU LEFT THE COUNTY,

HE'LL COME DOWN THAT HILL
WITH GUNS BLAZING.
WE'LL BE HOMELESS BY SUNDOWN.

- IF YOU'RE GONE,
WHO'S GONNA PROTECT US?

- IF I DON'T GET HELP,
THERE'LL BE NOTHING LEFT
TO PROTECT.

BESIDES, THERE'S NO REASON
HE NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT I'M UP TO.

IF ANYBODY ASKS,
I'M OUT WITH THE CATTLE.

SAMUEL?
- YES, SIR?

YOU'LL LOOK AFTER THEM
TILL I GET BACK, RIGHT?

- YES, SIR, MR. AGUILAR.
HORSE IS READY, SIR.

- I'M GONNA TAKE CARE
OF THIS.

[HORSE WHINNYING]

[HORSE WHINNYING]

- [GIGGLING]

[OVERLAPPING CONVERSATIONS
IN SPANISH]

- [SPEAKING SPANISH]

- [LAUGHING]
NO.

- [GIGGLING]

- [LAUGHING]

- WHISKEY.

- WHAT YOU LOOKING FOR, SON?

POKER GAME? PRETTY GIRL?

YOU NAME IT, WE GOT IT.

- I'M LOOKING TO HIRE
SOME GUNS.

THOUGHT THE SALOON WOULD BE
A GOOD PLACE TO START.

- TRY THEM TWO.

- HA HA HA!

- THEY MIGHT FIT YOUR BILL.

- OH, COME ON, TATE.
DON'T GET BETWEEN A DOG
AND HIS BONE.

SHE'S WITH ME.

- [GIGGLING]

- MORE WHISKEY?

- YEAH, LET ME HAVE
THE BOTTLE

AND GIVE ME TWO MORE GLASSES,
WILL YOU?

GENTLEMEN?

[OVERLAPPING CONVERSATIONS]

- GOOD DAY TO YOU, MARTHA,
AND BEST TO THE FAMILY.

- THANK YOU.
I'LL SEND YOUR REGARDS.

- MR. VAUGHN, HOW ARE YOU
AND YOUR BUSINESS
ON THIS SPLENDID DAY?

- NOT TOO BAD, PREACHER.
I JUST WISH I HAD A FEW
MORE CUSTOMERS.

- WELL, IF LAMAR HORN
HAS HIS WAY, YOU'LL SOON HAVE
MORE CUSTOMERS THAN YOU NEED.

- YEAH, WELL, I NEVER THOUGHT
I COULD MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY
FROM FRUIT,

BUT ANYTHING
THAT GROWS ON THIS LAND IS
A GOOD THING FOR THE TOWN.

I JUST WISH PEOPLE WOULD
COOPERATE MORE.

- THOSE FOLKS MAY
SURPRISE YOU YET.

I WISH YOU A GOOD DAY,
MR. VAUGHN.

- THANK YOU, PREACHER.

HELLO, UH, MR. CLARK.

- HELLO, MR. VAUGHN.
- GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIR,
MRS. CLARK.

THAT PACKAGE YOU WANTED
JUST CAME IN.

I'LL HAVE IT FOR YOU
LATE AFTERNOON.

- MIGHTY FINE. THANK YOU.
- GOOD DAY.

[HORSE WHINNIES]

- GOOD DAY, AMAYA.

- MR. HORN.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

- IT'S A LOVELY AFTERNOON,
ISN'T IT?

- SURELY YOU HAVEN'T COME
TO DISCUSS THE WEATHER.

- ACTUALLY, NO. I...

I'VE COME TO MAKE YOU
MY FINAL OFFER.

YOU AND YOUR BROTHER
VACATE THE PROPERTY,

AND I'LL GUARANTEE EACH
OF YOU PROPER PAYING JOBS.

- WE'LL DO NO SUCH THING.

- I EXPECTED THAT
FROM YOUR BROTHER,
BUT TO BE HONEST,

AMAYA, FROM YOU I WAS HOPING
A LITTLE MORE COMMON SENSE.

- IS IT COMMON SENSE TO GIVE UP
MY HOME WITHOUT A FIGHT?

- WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING,
TRYING TO HOLD ME OFF
FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS?

- WELL, I SHOULD THINK
THAT WOULD BE CLEAR.

ONCE THE TAX ASSESSOR COMES
AND FINDS YOU HAVE NO CLAIM
TO THE RANCH,

THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
TO RUN US OFF.

- I LIKED YOUR HUSBAND
VERY MUCH.

- HE SPOKE HIGHLY
OF YOU AS WELL.

- IT WAS A SHAME
HE WAS TAKEN SO YOUNG,

AND YOU LEFT BEHIND TO...
WATCH AFTER YOUR CHILD ALONE.

YOU THINK ABOUT MY OFFER.

I THINK IT'S GOOD
FOR EVERYONE.

WE'LL SPEAK IN
A COUPLE DAYS.

- SO? WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- WE'RE NOT GONNA RISK OUR LIVES
FOR A DOLLAR A DAY.

- ALL RIGHT, HOW ABOUT--
HOW ABOUT TWO DOLLARS?

- TWO DOLLARS EACH?
- EACH.

- CAN YOU AFFORD THAT?
- OF COURSE I CAN.

- I'D SAY YOU GOT YOURSELF
A COUPLE OF HIRED GUNS.

- A TOAST, TO SAVING MY LAND
AND TAKING DOWN AN OLD CROOK.

- WHAT'LL IT BE?

- WHISKEY.

- THAT'S RIGHT, TATE!

WHOO! HA HA HA HA!

[LAUGHING]

[SHOUTING]

[GUNSHOT]

- HEY!

YOU COME IN HERE,
YOU TEAR UP MY BAR,

YOU SHOOT AN INNOCENT MAN!
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?!

- WHAT INNOCENT MAN?

- [GROANING]

- THAT ONE THERE.

HE WASN'T WITH
THOSE ROUGHNECKS;

JUST COME IN HERE TRYING
TO HIRE SOME HELP.

- GET ME SOME RAGS. STAY DOWN.
YOU'RE BLEEDING PRETTY BAD.

- [COUGHING]

HORN.
[COUGHS]
HORN.

HE SENT YOU TO KILL ME,
DIDN'T HE?

- I WASN'T LOOKING FOR YOU.

- AMAYA.

PLEASE, TELL AMAYA.

THEY'RE GONNA--
THEY'RE GONNA TAKE MY LAND
IF I DON'T STOP 'EM.

- MISTER, I DON'T EVEN
KNOW YOUR NAME.

EDDIE. EDDIE AGUILAR
FROM CROCKETT.

- CROCKETT.

- [COUGHS]

- THEY'RE GONNA KILL
MY SISTER

AND TAKE OUR LAND.

YOU--YOU GOT TO PROMISE ME
YOU'RE NOT GONNA LET THAT
HAPPEN.

SAY YOU WILL.

- I WILL.

[HORSE WHINNIES]

- DID WHAT THE PREACHER ASKED--
YOU GAVE HER A CHOICE.

I CAN HAVE THEM RUN OFF
AT FIRST LIGHT.

- HAVE TO AT LEAST MAKE IT
LOOK LIKE I TRIED.

IT'S TAKEN ME A LONG TIME
TO CULTIVATE MY RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE PEOPLE OF CROCKETT.

I'M NOT ABOUT TO RUIN IT OVER
A COUPLE OF HEADSTRONG
CALIFORNIOS.

NO, WE'LL GIVE 'EM A DAY
TO THINK ABOUT THINGS.

- AND THEN?

- AND THEN WE'LL SEE.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

- HEY, MA?

- YES?
- DO YOU THINK WE'LL GET
TO STAY AT THE RANCH?

- I DON'T KNOW, BILLY.

- UNCLE EDDIE'LL FIX THINGS.
I KNOW HE WILL.

- WOULD YOU BE AMAYA?

- YOU BROUGHT EDDIE HOME.

- YES, MA'AM, I HAVE.

- I JUST KNEW
THIS WOULD HAPPEN.

I TOLD EDDIE TO STAY OUT
OF ASQUEROSOS.

- IF YOU DON'T MIND
MY ASKING, MA'AM,

WHAT WAS A DECENT MAN LIKE THAT
DOING IN AN OUTLAW TOWN?

- WE HAVE SOME LAND TROUBLES.

- AND HE FIGURED A COUPLE
OF HARD CASES WOULD FIX THAT?

- I TOLD HIM IT WAS
A FOOL IDEA.

CAN I ASK HOW IT HAPPENED?

- I SHOT HIM.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.

I WAS LOOKING FOR A COUPLE
OF HARD CASES, TOO.

NOT TO HIRE 'EM,
BUT...TO SETTLE A SCORE.

SEEMS LIKE WE FOUND
THE SAME TWO.

I'D LIKE TO GIVE HIM
A PROPER BURIAL

IF YOU'D ALLOW ME.

- [SPEAKING SPANISH]

- [GIGGLING]

- GIVE ME A DRINK.

- DIDN'T THINK I'D SEE YOU
IN HERE AGAIN.

- WELL, YOU'D BE WRONG
'CAUSE THIS IS ME
STANDING HERE RIGHT NOW.

I AIN'T AFRAID
OF NO LAWMAN.

[THUNDER]

- BILLY, GO TAKE MR. AUSTIN
TO THE BUNKHOUSE TO GET
WASHED UP FOR SUPPER.

- I THINK I'VE BEEN
A VERY PATIENT MAN, SHERIFF.

- I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HALF
AS NICE WITH THOSE CALIFORNIOS.

- MY PATIENCE HAS RUN OUT.

HOW SOON CAN YOU HAVE
YOUR MEN ASSEMBLED?

- I CAN HAVE THEM READY
BY TONIGHT.

- PERFECT.

- SO IT'S JUST YOU
AND YOUR MOM ON THIS LAND?

WHERE'S YOUR DAD?

- MY PA DIED A LONG TIME AGO,

BACK WHEN I WAS SMALL.

UNCLE EDDIE'S BEEN
TAKING CARE OF US SINCE.

NOW THAT HE'S GONE, THERE'LL
BE NOTHING STOPPING HORN
FROM CHASING US OFF THE LAND.

- WHO IS THIS HORN
EVERYBODY KEEPS TALKING ABOUT?

- UNCLE EDDIE,
HE SAYS HE'S EVIL.

LIVES IN THE BIG HOUSE
ON WIDOW'S HILL.

BUYS UP AS MUCH
OF CROCKETT AS HE CAN.

- WHAT DOES HE FIGURE GIVES HIM
RIGHT TO YOUR LAND?

- OUR FAMILY CAME HERE
90 YEARS AGO,

HOMESTEAD THE LAND.

BACK THEN IT WAS MEXICO,
SO WE DIDN'T NEED
NO PROPER DEED.

EVERYONE IN CROCKETT IS
TOO AFRAID OF MR. HORN TO HELP.

THAT'S WHY UNCLE EDDIE,
HE NEEDED TO FIND SOMEBODY
THAT WAS TOO MEAN TO BE AFRAID.

THAT'S WHY HE NEEDED
TO FIND A HIRED GUN.

- HIM.

- ARE YOU LOOKING
FOR ME, MR. VAUGHN?

- YES, I AM, PREACHER.

THINK WE'VE GOT
SOME TROUBLE IN OUR TOWN.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE AGUILAR
FAMILY AND THIS WHOLE BUSINESS
WITH LAMAR HORN.

WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING
BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED.

- WELL, ISN'T THAT
A MATTER FOR THE LAW?

- NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

I THINK IT'S TIME
FOR A HIGHER POWER
TO INTERVENE.

GOOD DAY, PREACHER.

[HORSE WHINNIES]

[HOOF BEATS]

- [WHOOPING]

[GUNFIRE]

- HANG ON! HANG ON!

- MA.
- BILLY! YOU LISTEN TO ME.

YOU STAY INSIDE AND KEEP AWAY
FROM THE WINDOWS, OK?

- BUT, MA--
- YOU LISTEN TO ME!
YOU STAY INSIDE!

- [SPEAKING SPANISH]

[GUNFIRE]

- AH!

[SHOUTING IN SPANISH]

- OH!

[GUNFIRE CONTINUING OUTSIDE]

- LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!

- HYAH! HYAH!
- COME ON! LET'S GO!

- OH, NO!

OH!
[PANTING]

- MA'AM?

- DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN?

- I THINK IT'S MR. BARNES.

HE OWNS THE NEXT FARM OVER.

- I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU HAD
EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL.

- I DID, I DID.
THEY HAD A ROUGHNECK
OF THEIR OWN.

- WHAT, HE HIRED HIMSELF
A GUN? WHO?

- I DON'T KNOW,
BUT HE HAD GOOD AIM,
BETTER THAN ANY OF MINE.

SHOT CASEY BARNES
RIGHT OUT OF THE SADDLE.
STILL HAVE TO TELL HIS WIFE.

- HAVE YOU STARTED
RAISING A TEAM YET?

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE EDDIE
THAT MUCH TIME TO RECOVER.

- EDDIE WASN'T THERE
LAST NIGHT.

AT LEAST NONE OF US SAW HIM.

- WELL, HE'S PROBABLY OFF
RAISING A POSSE.

LOOK, WHAT DID I TELL YOU
ABOUT UNDERESTIMATING
YOUR ENEMIES, SHERIFF?

NOW, GO FIND SOME MEN
FOR ME, PLEASE,

PREFERABLY SOMEBODY
THAT CAN SHOOT.

- LOOK, I HAD ENOUGH
TROUBLE RAISING THE 3.

AFTER LAST NIGHT, NONE
OF THE TOWNSFOLK WANT
TO JOIN UP.

- NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME.
YOU ARE IN THIS JUST
AS MUCH AS I AM.

NOW YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET
YOUR LAND IF I DON'T
GET MY WATER.

NOW THERE ARE PLENTY
OF OTHER TOWNS
OUT THERE, SHERIFF.

GO FIND ME SOME MEN NOW!

- WE ALL WOULD HAVE DIED.

THEY WOULD HAVE KILLED
US ALL IF IT WEREN'T
FOR MR. AUSTIN.

- DIDN'T SAVE HERMAN.

- HE SAVED US.

HORN'S MEN, THEY RODE OUT
LIKE THEY WERE SCALDED.

- THEY'LL BE BACK,
AS SOON AS AUSTIN'S GONE.

- WHERE'S HE GOING?
- DON'T BE STUPID.

HE AIN'T GOT NO REASON
TO STAY. SHOOT.

HE'S PROBABLY FIXING
TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW.

- SAMUEL SAYS
YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE.

- IS THAT WHAT SAMUEL SAYS?

- SAYS YOU GOT
NO REASON TO STAY.

- WHAT DO YOU SAY?

- I SAY WE NEED YOUR HELP.

LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE
AROUND THIS PLACE, AND WE
CAN'T DO IT ALL OURSELVES.

AND HORN'S MEN?
THEY WERE AFRAID OF YOU.

THEY'RE SURE NOT
AFRAID OF US.

WE CAN PAY YOU.

- I DON'T NEED NO MONEY.

- DOES THAT MEAN YOU'LL STAY?

- I'LL STICK AROUND
A FEW DAYS,

HELP YOU ALL GET BACK
ON YOUR FEET.

THEN I HAVE TO GO.

I GOT A JOB TO DO.

- SO, UH, WHAT SEEMS
TO BE THE PROBLEM?

- WELL...

I SENT THE SHERIFF OUT
TO THE AGUILAR RANCH
TO NEGOTIATE ON MY BEHALF.

SEEMINGLY EDDIE WASN'T THERE,
HOWEVER, HE DID FIND
AMAYA SPENCER,

ALONE WITH HER YOUNG BOY
AND SOME HARD CASE
THAT EDDIE MUST HAVE HIRED.

- I'LL SPEAK WITH HER
AND I'LL FIND OUT WHO
THAT MAN IS.

- YOU'RE A TRUE FRIEND,
PREACHER.

THANK YOU, SIR.

- ALL RIGHT, LAMAR.

- IS THAT THE PREACHER?

- WHOA, WHOA.

- GOOD MORNING, PREACHER.

- GOOD MORNING,
MRS. SPENCER, BILLY.

- THIS IS MATT AUSTIN.
HE'S HELPING OUT WITH
THE RANCH FOR A FEW DAYS.

- CAN'T SAY AS I'VE EVER
SEEN YOU AROUND.

- WHAT CAN WE DO
FOR YOU, PREACHER?

- WELL, I HEARD ABOUT
YOUR RUN-IN THE OTHER NIGHT.

I WAS CONCERNED FOR YOUR SAFETY,
MRS. SPENCER.

- MR. AUSTIN ISN'T LIKE
THOSE GUYS THAT CAME
AROUND LAST NIGHT.

- NO, I DONE
SOME SHERIFFIN'.

NEVER RODE INTO ANYBODY'S
PLACE AT MIDNIGHT,

TORCHES AND RAGS TIED
AROUND MY FACE LIKE A COWARD.

- SURE I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU MEAN.

- YOU DO THE LORD'S WORK,
PREACHER?

OR YOU WORK FOR MR. HORN?

- LAMAR'S A FRIEND OF MINE,

BUT I ASSURE YOU I'M HERE
OF MY OWN ACCORD.

I DON'T WANT YOU PEOPLE
TO HAVE ANY MORE TROUBLE.

PERHAPS WE COULD SIT DOWN
WITH MR. AGUILAR AND TRY
AND WORK THINGS OUT.

- UNCLE EDDIE'S DEAD.

- VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS,
MRS. SPENCER.

- YOU GO BACK
AND YOU TELL MR. HORN,

HE GETS A CHANCE,
I WANT TO MEET HIM.

- WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
SPOKEN TO HIM THAT WAY.

THE PREACHER'S A GOOD MAN.
EVERYONE SAYS SO.

HE WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP.

- HELP LIKE THAT
CAN GET YOU KILLED.

- YOU DON'T KNOW THAT HE'S
GONNA GO RUN BACK TO HORN.

- MA'AM, WHO DO YOU THINK
SENT HIM HERE?

[DOOR OPENING]

- SUPPER'S JUST ABOUT READY.

- STILL A LOT OF DAMAGE OUT
BY THE FENCES.

TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS
TO FIX 'EM.

- SO EDDIE WENT
AND GOT HIMSELF A SHERIFF.

DID YOU HAPPEN
TO CATCH A NAME?

- MATT AUSTIN.
AND, LAMAR,

THE BOY SAID EDDIE'S DEAD,

AND MRS. SPENCER
DIDN'T DENY IT.

- THAT POOR WOMAN.

LOSING HER HUSBAND
AND HER BROTHER IN TWO YEARS.

- BEEN SOME ALLEGATIONS.

ABOUT THE INCIDENT
WITH THE SHERIFF,

THEY SAY THAT MONTERO'S MEN
RODE ABOUT IN BANDANAS,

KILLED THEIR RANCH HAND,

AND THAT THEY SHOWED UP
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

- PREACHER...

NOW YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT
OUR SHERIFF WOULD HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH THAT, DO YOU?

NOW I KNOW YOU TRUST
THESE PEOPLE, BUT IT'S OBVIOUS
THEY'RE WILLING TO SAY ANYTHING.

- AUSTIN SAID HE'D LIKE
TO MEET WITH YOU.

- WELL...

THAT'S A MEETING WE'RE GONNA
HAVE TO ARRANGE, ISN'T IT?

- [SIGHS]

I DON'T KNOW THAT I
SHOULD LEAVE YOU.

- WELL, IT'S JUST FOR
A COUPLE OF HOURS,

AND I HAVE SAMUEL.

- THAT WON'T BE
MUCH PROTECTION

IF HORN'S MEN COME
RIDING IN HERE.

- BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
THAT YOU GO SPEAK TO HIM.

WHATEVER YOU CAN DO.

- MR. AUSTIN.

WHERE YOU GOING?

- I'LL BE BACK BEFORE SUPPER.

- YOU PROMISE?

- I PROMISE.

- [SPEAKING SPANISH]

- EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN.
- WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

- I'M LOOKING TO HIRE SOME MEN
TO RIDE WITH ME TO CROCKETT.

I GOT SOME TROUBLE IN TOWN.
I HEAR YOU GUYS MIGHT BE
INTERESTED.

IT PAYS WELL.

- NO, THANKS.

- NO? THINK ABOUT IT.

- TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

- I HEAR YOU'RE LOOKING
TO HIRE SOME MEN.

- MAYBE.

- WHAT KIND OF MONEY?

- IT PAYS GOOD MONEY IF YOU'RE
WILLING TO GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY.

- I THINK YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR ME THEN.

- I'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU.

COME ON IN.

TAKE A SEAT.

CAN I OFFER YOU
SOMETHING TO DRINK?

- NO, THANK YOU.

- FEW THINGS IN LIFE,
I FIND, THAT SATISFY ME
LIKE A GOOD BRANDY.

- YOU DIDN'T BRING ME UP HERE
TO TALK ABOUT BRANDY.

- YOU'RE AN ASTUTE MAN.

MUST HAVE COME IN HANDY
WHEN YOU WERE SHERIFF.

WHAT WAS IT,
PARKFIELD, RIGHT?

WELL, HERE. LET'S JUST SEE
WHAT MY ASSOCIATES DID TELL ME.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

WACO 3 YEARS AGO
AND KILGORE BEFORE THAT.

- WELL, YOU'RE WELL-INFORMED.
I'LL GIVE YOU THAT.

- WELL, THE TELEGRAPH.
THAT'S A REMARKABLE INVENTION.

WHAT USED TO TAKE ME WEEKS
TO GET MESSAGES BACK
AND FORTH TO MY PEOPLE

NOW CAN HAPPEN IN MINUTES.

HEH HEH HEH HEH!

WELL, AS YOU KNOW, THE JOB
OF SHERIFF HERE IN CROCKETT'S
ALREADY FILLED.

HOWEVER, I CAN ALWAYS USE A MAN
WITH YOUR SKILLS AROUND.

- I'VE SEEN WHAT YOUR MEN DO.
I'M NOT INTERESTED.

- AMAYA SPENCER,
SHE'S A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

SHE BATS THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES
AT YOU AND SPINS SOME YARN
ABOUT ME STEALING HER LAND,

AND YOU AUTOMATICALLY
ASSUME IT'S TRUE.

- MISTER...

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DO
WHAT'S BEST FOR EVERYBODY
IN THIS VALLEY,

YOU LEAVE THAT FAMILY ALONE.

[THUNDER]

[HORSE WHINNIES,
HOOF BEATS]

- YOU NEVER TOLD ME
YOU WERE A SHERIFF.

- WOULD IT HAVE MADE
ANY DIFFERENCE?

- NO, I GUESS NOT.

THERE'S PLENTY OF QUESTIONS
I COULD HAVE ASKED.

DID YOU SPEAK TO HORN?

- I DID.

- I'M SURE HE TOLD YOU
THINGS ABOUT MY FAMILY,

WITH HIS FANCY CLOTHES
AND HIS BIG HOUSE.

I'M SURE HIS STORY SOUNDED
LIKE THE RIGHT ONE.

YOU CAN LOOK INTO THINGS
IF YOU WANT. I'D UNDERSTAND.

- NO, I CAN USUALLY TELL
WHEN A MAN'S BLUFFING
ON A PAIR OF TWOS.

- WHY'D YOU QUIT BEING
A SHERIFF?

- I'VE BEEN SHERIFF
IN A LOT OF PLACES.

MY WIFE...

WE THOUGHT WE'D START
A RANCH, RAISE OUR BOY
SOMEWHERE.

IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE.

- ALL RIGHT.

- YOU NEVER TOLD ME
YOUR NAME.

- THAT'S RIGHT.
I DIDN'T.

- HUP.

- YOU THINK RANCHING
PAYS WELL, RIGHT, BILL?

- YUP, MM-HMM.
- WELL, YOU JUST WAIT
AND SEE HOW MUCH

SOMEBODY'LL PAY FOR
A FRESH BUSHEL OF STRAWBERRIES.

BUT, OF COURSE,
WE'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH
SOME LOGISTICAL ISSUES.

CROPS LIKE THIS NEED WATER.

- [MURMURING]

- PLEASE TELL AMAYA I'M SORRY
TO HEAR ABOUT EDDIE.

- SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY KNOWS.

- WELL, THIS IS A SMALL TOWN.

HORN'S MEN LET IT BE KNOWN
THAT EDDIE TRIED TO HIRE
SOME GUNMEN.

- WELL, WAY THEY WORSHIP HORN
IN THIS TOWN,

AIN'T NO WONDER EDDIE HAD
TO GO OUTSIDE TO FIND HELP.

THING I CAN'T UNDERSTAND
IS WHY DOES HE WANT
AGUILAR'S LAND SO BAD?

- WELL, THERE'S A SPRING
AT THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.

"LIQUID GOLD,"
HORN CALLS IT.

WANTS TO TURN CROCKETT
INTO AN ORANGE GROVE.

- HE GOT CAUSE TO DO THAT?

- DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK.

HE FILED THE LAND GRANT PROPER,
BUT THOSE GRANTS WERE
SUPPOSED TO BE

FOR FAMILIES WHO HOMESTEADED
BEFORE CALIFORNIA GOT
ITS STATEHOOD.

- HUH.
- MAKE THEM LEGAL WITH
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

- SO EVERYBODY'S SO AFRAID
OF THE BOGEYMAN, NOBODY WANTED
TO SIGN UP AND HELP EDDIE.

- MY PEOPLE TELL ME

THAT WHEN THE FIRST TRAIN CAR
FILLED WITH CALIFORNIA ORANGES

PULLED INTO
GRAND CENTRAL STATION,

WHY, THE PEOPLE
LINED UP FOR BLOCKS.

- I STAND UP AGAINST HIM,
I'LL BE THE NEXT VICTIM.

- GOT TO BE SOMEBODY
THAT AIN'T AFRAID.

- THERE'S LARS ANDERSEN.

HORN HAD HIM THROWN OFF
THE LAND LAST YEAR.

- WHERE DO I FIND HIM?

- WAIT TILL SUNDOWN
AT THE SALOON.

HE WORKS AS A FARM HAND
THESE DAYS.

- OH.

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME
THIS TOWN WAS SO CLOSE.

- NO, I DIDN'T.

[OVERLAPPING CONVERSATIONS]

- HOWDY.

- MR. ANDERSEN?

- DO I KNOW YOU?

- I DON'T BELIEVE SO.

- LARS ANDERSEN.

HAPPY TO MEET YOU.
LET ME BUY YOU A DRINK.

- NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

LOOK, I'M MATT AUSTIN.
I'D LIKE TO HAVE A WORD.

- MATT AUSTIN.

DON'T THAT JUST BEAT ALL?

- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
YOU HEARD OF ME?

- JUST THIS AFTERNOON,
IN FACT.

LET ME BUY YOU A DRINK.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT.

- NO, I'M NOT MUCH
FOR SALOONIN'.
LET'S JUST TALK RIGHT HERE.

- AHEM.

I, UH, SAW WHAT OCCURRED
AT THE LOCAL SPREAD.

THEY'RE GOING THROUGH
THE SAME TROUBLES

THAT LAMAR HORN AND I WAS
GOING THROUGH A YEAR AGO.

THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTY WAS
OVER THERE TODAY,

TRYING TO SCARE 'EM OFF
THEIR LAND AGAIN.

THEY DIDN'T EVEN SEE ME
BY THE BARN.

- AND WHAT WERE YOU
DOING OUT THERE?

- LISTENING.

- INFORMATION'S BETTER
THAN CASH SOMETIMES.

ANYWAYS, THEY WAS TALKING
ABOUT HORN NOT FIGURING ON YOU.

- THEY CALL THEMSELVES MEN,

RIDING AROUND WAVING
TORCHES AT NIGHT,

SHOOTING OFF GUNS,
SCARING A WOMAN AND BOY.

- OH, I'VE SEEN IT.

HORN RUN ME OFF MY LAND.

- WHAT CLAIM DID HE HAVE
ON YOUR LAND?

- BORROWED SOME MONEY.

HAD A DRY CROP
THE YEAR BEFORE.

SWEAR I THOUGHT
I COULD PAY IT BACK.

I'M JUST...

I'M JUST WAITING FOR THIS TOWN
TO RISE UP AGAINST HIM,
AND WHEN THEY DO,

I'LL BE FIRST IN LINE
TO TAKE MY SHOT.

- MR. ANDERSEN, YOU MAY
JUST GET THAT CHANCE.

- FOUND OUT A FEW THINGS.

- I MADE SOME FRESH COFFEE.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME?

- I BELIEVE I WILL.

- WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT?

- THAT IT'S LONG PAST THE TIME
SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE STOOD UP
TO LAMAR HORN.

- EDDIE DID, MR. AUSTIN.

THAT'S WHAT GOT HIM KILLED.

- I KNOW YOU'RE SCARED.

SOME THINGS ARE WORTH
FIGHTING FOR.

- DO YOU HAVE A PLAN?

- GET THE RANCH READY,
MAKE A STAND.

LAND OFFICE SAYS IN 3 WEEKS
THEY'LL HAVE YOU A PROPER DEED.

- STILL A LONG TIME.

- IT'S THE BEST I CAN DO.

- AND HOW ARE YOU GONNA
FIND MEN TO HELP?

EVERY PERSON IN THIS TOWN
IS EITHER AFRAID OF MR. HORN

OR THINKS HE'S
THE SECOND COMING.

- I GOT A FEW IDEAS.

AMAYA, THIS LAND WAS
HOMESTEADED BY YOUR FAMILY,

YOUR BLOOD.

HORN HAS NO CLAIM ON IT
UNLESS YOU VACATE.

YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND,

UNTIL THIS IS ALL SETTLED,

EITHER YOU OR BILLY HAS
TO BE ON THIS PROPERTY
AT ALL TIMES.

- GOOD EVENING, MR. VAUGHN.

I'M JUST HEADED HOME
FOR MY SUPPER.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

- I'LL BE QUICK, PREACHER.
I'M JUST FEELING KIND OF GUILTY

AND I'M NOT SURE
WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.

- WELL, THE BIBLE TEACHES US
THAT GUILT WITHOUT ACTION IS
A WASTED EMOTION.

WHAT IS IT YOU'RE
FEELING GUILTY ABOUT?

- EDDIE AGUILAR.
HE CAME INTO THE SALOON
A FEW DAYS AGO

AND ASKED FOR MY HELP.

I TURNED HIM DOWN,

DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

FIGURED IT WOULD BE EASIER
NOT TO GET INVOLVED.

- "ALL THAT IS NECESSARY
FOR THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL

IS THAT GOOD MEN
DO NOTHING."

- SO IF I'D SAID YES AND AGREED
TO HELP, MAYBE HE WOULDN'T HAVE
GONE TO ASQUEROSOS.

- WELL, WE CAN'T KNOW
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN,
MR. VAUGHN.

WE CAN ONLY GO FORWARD
WITH WHAT WE'VE LEARNED.

- I WASN'T EXPECTING YOU
UNTIL TOMORROW.

- WELL, I DIDN'T LIKE
BEING AWAY,

ESPECIALLY SINCE I HEARD
THAT EDDIE WAS IN ASQUEROSOS

NOT A WEEK AGO LOOKING
TO HIRE THESE MEN.

- KNEW THAT BOY WAS A FOOL
THE MINUTE HE WALKED IN THE BAR.

- YEAH, HE GOT HIMSELF
KILLED IN A BAR FIGHT.

- THAT'S OLD NEWS.

APPARENTLY YOU'RE NOT
THE ONLY SHERIFF HERE
IN CROCKETT.

THAT ROUGHNECK DOWN
AT THE AGUILAR RANCH
IS A LAWMAN HIMSELF.

GOES BY THE NAME OF AUSTIN.

APPARENTLY HE'S A BONA FIDE
LEGEND FROM PARKFIELD
AND SOME OTHER PARTS.

DO YOU THINK
YOU CAN HANDLE YOURSELF
WITH A MAN LIKE THAT?

- [CHUCKLING]

- TAKE THESE MEN BACK TO TOWN
AND PUT THEM UP IN MY HOTEL.

WE'LL SPEAK
IN THE MORNING.

- ALL SET!

- MR. ANDERSEN.
GOOD MORNING.

- PREACHER, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING UP THIS EARLY?

- LOOKING FOR YOU.
I KNEW YOU'D BE HEADED OFF
TO THE MACKENZIES AT THIS HOUR.

- GOT TO GO MILK THE COWS
BEFORE BREAKFAST.

- WELL, I WAS HOPING
I COULD SPEAK WITH YOU.

- I THOUGHT THAT THAT'S
WHAT WE WERE DOING,

BUT IF YOU'RE WILLING TO WALK,
I'M WILLING TO TALK.

- FAIR ENOUGH.

- GOOD MORNING, ALL.

- MORNING.
- MORNING, MR. AUSTIN.

MA TOLD ME SHE SAW YOU
ROPE A RUNAWAY STEER
YESTERDAY WITH ONE TRY.

DO YOU THINK AFTER BREAKFAST
YOU COULD TEACH ME HOW?

- MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME.

I GOT BUSINESS THIS MORNING.

- WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS?

- I NEED TO TALK
TO A FEW PEOPLE.

- YOU DON'T NEED TO RECRUIT
NO HANDS AROUND HERE,
MR. AUSTIN.

I CAN HANDLE ALL
THE WORK ON MY OWN.

MR. AGUILAR LEFT ME
IN CHARGE, AFTER ALL.

- OH, I'M SURE YOU CAN.

- HE MEANS EXTRA GUNS,
DON'T YOU, MR. AUSTIN?

- GOT ENOUGH GUNS
IN THIS ROOM RIGHT HERE.

- OH, WELL, YOU CAN'T
POSSIBLY MEAN US.

- WELL...

I TRUST THAT YOU MEN ENJOYED
YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS LAST NIGHT.

- YEAH, THAT'S A FANCY HOTEL.

LOVELY, JUST LOVELY.
YOU, UM, YOU BUILT IT?

- AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I DID.

- GLAD TO KNOW
YOU CAN AFFORD ME.

NOW WE'VE, UH, SETTLED
ON MY WAGES,

BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW
WHAT MY JOB IS.

- YEAH, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW
WHEN YOU'RE NEEDED.

- AS A MATTER OF FACT,
THERE IS SOMETHING
YOU COULD DO FOR ME.

I'D LIKE YOU TO RIDE DOWN
TO THE AGUILAR RANCH
AND HAVE A LOOK AROUND.

BUT STAY LOW.
I'D PREFER YOU NOT TO BE SEEN.

- WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR?

- I KNOW ABOUT THE LAWMAN.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S
NO OTHER...HIDDEN SURPRISES.

- MORNING, MR. VAUGHN.

- YOU'RE OUT AWFUL EARLY,
MR. AUSTIN.

- LOOKING FOR LARS ANDERSEN,

BUT I FORGOT TO ASK
WHERE HE WORKS.

- YOU'RE GONNA HIRE HIM,
AREN'T YOU?

HE WORKS ON
THE MACKENZIE FARM.

IT'S ABOUT
A MILE WEST OF TOWN.
YOU CAN'T MISS IT.

THERE'S A SIGN AT THE ENTRANCE
TO THEIR PROPERTY.

- MUCH OBLIGED.

- MISTER,
I THINK YOU'RE LOST.

- NOPE, I THINK
I KNOW WHERE I AM.

- IF YOU'RE ONE
OF HORN'S MEN,

YOU'D BEST TURN
AROUND AND LEAVE.

I AIN'T AFRAID OF YOU.

- YOU THE AGUILAR HAND?

- WHAT IF I AM?

- I THOUGHT THEY WERE
FRIENDLY PEOPLE.

- NOW YOU GET UP
ON YOUR HORSE AND LEAVE
BEFORE I MAKE YOU LEAVE.

- THAT A FACT?

[SNIFFS]
ALL RIGHT. AHEM.

I'M WALKING HERE.

YAH!

- [GRUNTS]

- NOW...

IF YOU SWING THAT THING
ONE MORE TIME,

I'M GONNA TAKE OFFENSE,

SO YOU JUST KEEP IT
TO YOURSELF.

- OH!

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BOY?

NOW I'M GONNA PUT
THIS STICK DOWN.

OK.

OH!

- [PANTING]

[GRUNTING]

[COUGHING]

- IT'S NOT FAIR, IS IT,

YOU TAKING THE BLAME
FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S CRIME?

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE LAWMAN,

MATT AUSTIN THE SHERIFF.

YOU KNOW, I KNOW HIM
BETTER THAN YOU DO,

AND YOU SHOULD BE ASKING
YOURSELF A QUESTION.

HOW DID THE SHERIFF KNOW
EDDIE AGUILAR?

WHY WOULD THE SHERIFF RIDE
A HUNDRED MILES TO COME
TO THIS RANCH?

THINK ABOUT THAT.

- [GROANS]

- WAS WONDERING
WHEN I'D SEE YOU AGAIN.

- YOU WAS EXPECTING ME?

- NOT TOO MANY OTHER PEOPLE
ARE ANGRY ENOUGH AT HORN

TO RISK THEIR LIVES
TO PROVE A POINT TO HIM.

HOW MANY MEN YOU GOT?

- ME, RANCH HAND.

WE HELD THEM OFF
LAST TIME.

- SO NOT WHAT YOU SAID.

HE FAILED THE FIRST TIME;
HE WON'T FAIL AGAIN.

YOU'RE GONNA NEED
SOME HELP.

YOU WILLING
TO REPLACE MY WAGE,

I'LL COME OUT
AND STAND WITH YOU.

- YOU'D QUIT YOUR JOB,
JUST LIKE THAT?

- PREACHER CAME BY
THE BOARDING HOUSE THIS MORNING,

TOLD ME I SHOULD HELP YOU,

HELP MY WAYWARD SOUL.

- IF YOU COULD WATCH THE STORE,
RILEY, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

- YES, SIR.
- I SHOULD BE BACK
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.

- ALL RIGHT, MR. VAUGHN.

- HEADED TO LUNCH, VAUGHN?
- YES, I AM.

- MIND IF I WALK WITH YOU?

- ACTUALLY, I DO.

- YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS
BEEN GOOD TO YOU, VAUGHN.

I HELPED YOU GET SITUATED
WHEN YOU FIRST CAME TO TOWN,

SAVED YOU A PRIME LOCATION
FOR YOUR ESTABLISHMENT.

- IT SERVED YOU MORE
THAN IT SERVED ME.

THE TOWN NEEDS SUPPLIES
TO GROW.

MY STORE HAS DONE GREAT THINGS
FOR YOU, MR. HORN.

- INDEED IT HAS, AND I WOULD
LIKE FOR OUR BUSINESS
ARRANGEMENT TO CONTINUE,

BUT I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE
WORKING WITH SOMEBODY
THAT I CAN'T TRUST.

[WOLF HOWLING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

- MR. AUSTIN.

- MR. VAUGHN?

- HELLO, MRS. SPENCER.

I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT
YOUR MEAL, BUT...

I'M HERE TO OFFER
MY SERVICES.

- YOUR SERVICES?

- HEARD ABOUT CASEY BARNES
GETTING KILLED.

CAN'T SAY I BELIEVE
THE OFFICIAL STORY
OF HOW IT HAPPENED.

I FIGURED YOU MIGHT NEED
SOME MORE HANDS

TO HANDLE THE NEXT TIME
HORN'S MEN COME RIDING
UP THE ROAD.

- THANK YOU.
WE'D BE SO GRATEFUL
FOR YOUR HELP.

PLEASE SIT DOWN.
PLEASE HAVE SUPPER WITH US.

BILLY, PLEASE GO FETCH
MR. VAUGHN A PLATE.

- VAUGHN!

- I THINK MY LEG'S BROKE.

- HORN'S MEN DO THIS TO YOU?

- JUST ONE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE.

MEANER THAN THE REST.

SAYS HE KNEW YOU.

- WE NEED TO GET HIM
INTO THE HOUSE.

BILLY, TAKE THE TEAM
TO THE CORRAL.

- [GROANING]
- HERE.

LIFT YOU DOWN OUT OF THERE.

- MR. VAUGHN'S GONNA STAY
IN THE MAIN HOUSE
WITH YOU ALL TONIGHT.

- OH, NO,
DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT US.

WE'LL BE JUST FINE BY OURSELVES
IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT.

HOW'S THAT?
IS THAT TOO TIGHT?

- IT'S FINE.

- I'VE GOT LARS ALL SQUARED AWAY
IN THE BUNKHOUSE.

- YOU'VE DONE SO MUCH
FOR US ALREADY, MR. AUSTIN.
I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.

- YOU'RE A REGULAR HERO,
AIN'T YOU, MR. AUSTIN?

- SAMUEL.

- HORN'S MAN SAYS
YOU GOT BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.

IS THAT TRUE?

- HE TOLD YOU ABOUT EDDIE?

- YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT SHOT HIM, AIN'T YOU?

THAT'S WHY YOU FELT GUILTY
ENOUGH TO BRING HIM BACK.

HE TELL YOU ABOUT
HIS PRETTY SISTER,

WIDOWED AND ALONE HERE
ON THE RANCH?

- SAMUEL, THAT'S ENOUGH.

- HE SHOT MR. AGUILAR.

- I KNOW THAT.

- YOU KNEW?

- YOU TOLD ME YOU HAD
EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL.

- I CAN HANDLE IT.

- WELL, IT SURE AS HELL
DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT.

YOU'VE ALREADY LET AUSTIN
GET AHOLD OF ANDERSEN.

GOD KNOWS WHO ELSE
THEY HAVE UP THERE.

THEY COULD BE BUILDING
A FORTRESS ON THAT PROPERTY,

MY PROPERTY!

- AUSTIN CAN HAVE
AS MANY PEOPLE AS HE WANTS

'CAUSE HE'S THE ONLY ONE WE
SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT.

BESIDES, WE GOT 'EM
OUTNUMBERED.

- IF I WANT YOUR OPINION,
I'LL ASK YOU FOR IT.

I WANT TO HANDLE THIS
IMMEDIATELY, SHERIFF.

I WANT THOSE PEOPLE OFF
THAT PROPERTY IN 24 HOURS,
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

- [GRUNTS]

- MA SAYS BREAKFAST
IS READY.

- WHERE'S MR. VAUGHN?

- ISN'T HE ON WATCH
WITH SAMUEL?

- NO.

- THANK YOU FOR YOUR
GENEROUS CONTRIBUTION.

- ABSOLUTELY, SIR.
ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU.

- LAMAR HORN?

WHEN ARE YOU GONNA STOP
HURTING INNOCENT PEOPLE?

- EXCUSE ME.
I APOLOGIZE.

I'M SURE I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE SPEAKING
ABOUT, MR. VAUGHN,

BUT THIS IS HARDLY
AN APPROPRIATE TIME OR PLACE
TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION.

WHY DON'T YOU COME UP
TO MY HOUSE THIS AFTERNOON?

WE'LL HAVE A CIGAR.

- DON'T YOU TURN
YOUR BACK ON ME.

- YOU ARE MAKING
A HUGE MISTAKE.

- WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO,
BURN DOWN MY STORE?

HAVE YOUR HENCHMEN BEAT ME
TO A BLOODY PULP?

THIS ISN'T ABOUT
THE GREATER GOOD
OF CROCKETT ANYMORE.

- I AM SURE THE GOOD CITIZENS
OF CROCKETT WOULD AGREE

THAT I'VE BEEN AN UPSTANDING,
HIGHLY CONTRIBUTING PILLAR
TO THIS COMMUNITY.

I'VE GIVEN MY HEART
TO THESE PEOPLE.

- DO YOU HAVE A PLAN?

- WELL, FIGURE AFTER BREAKFAST,
WE OUGHT TO GET TO SHOOTING.

I NEED TO MAKE SURE
YOU GUYS KNOW HOW
TO AIM THEM RIFLES.

- WELL, WE HAVE CHORES
TO DO AFTER BREAKFAST.
WE'LL PRACTICE LATER.

- MA, THIS IS IMPORTANT.

- I KNOW THAT,
BUT ANIMALS NEED TO BE FED,

CROPS NEED TO BE
TENDED TO AND WATERED.

WE'LL HAVE NO RANCH
LEFT TO DEFEND IF WE SPEND
ALL DAY ON TARGET PRACTICE.

THEY HAVE TWO WEEKS
TO GET US OFF THE RANCH.

I'M SURE THAT'S PLENTY
OF TIME TO PRACTICE.

- I DON'T THINK
WE HAVE THAT LONG.

- HOW YOU FIGURE?

- I MAY HAVE ACCIDENTALLY
SPED UP THE PROCESS.

LOST MY TEMPER, WENT AFTER HORN
AT THE SUNDAY SERVICE.

- I KNOW WHY WE'RE HERE,
BUT DID YOU HAVE TO ANTAGONIZE
HIM, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE?

- NO, IT DON'T TAKE MUCH,
A MAN LIKE LAMAR HORN.

HE DON'T COTTON BEING PUSHED
INTO A CORNER, PRETTY SOON
HE'S GONNA COME OUT SWINGING.

- WHEN DO YOU THINK
HE'LL BE HERE?

- SOON AS HE CAN RAISE
A POSSE.

I'M GONNA ROUND UP
THEM GUNS.

- YEAH, YOU KNOW HOW
TO DO THAT, DON'T YOU?

- WELL, YOU HEARD HIM.

LET'S GET READY.

SAMUEL WILL FORGIVE YOU.

YOU JUST NEED
TO GIVE HIM SOME TIME.

MR. AUSTIN, WE'RE NOT
PERFECT PEOPLE.

WE DON'T ALWAYS MAKE
THE RIGHT DECISIONS,
EVEN WHEN THEY'RE CLEAR-CUT.

MR. VAUGHN TOLD ME
ABOUT YOUR--YOUR WIFE
AND YOUR BOY.

- YES, MA'AM.

I MADE A MISTAKE,
AND IT COST ME.

BEING HERE, I SEE A CHANCE
TO TRY AND MAKE IT RIGHT,

AND I'M NOT LEAVING
TILL I DO JUST THAT.

[SHELL CASING EJECTING]

- ALL RIGHT.
- ALL RIGHT.

- EACH TIME, YEAH,
TRY TO GET--

YOU CAN GET YOUR SHOULDER
RIGHT UP ON THERE,

AND GET YOUR EYE RIGHT
DOWN OVER IT.

NOW LEAN INTO IT
A LITTLE BIT.

IT WON'T KICK YOU SO MUCH,
ALL RIGHT? OK.

UP THERE.

- MM-HMM.

[GUNSHOT]

[SHELL CASING EJECTING]

- THIS WAY. TRY AGAIN.

- OK.

HMM. BETTER.

- TEACH ME A THING OR TWO.

UNO MAS.

PRETTY STRAIGHT SHOOTING.

- IT'S BETTER.

- WHEN I WAS A BOY,

WHEN I WAS IN TROUBLE,
I ALWAYS FOUND THIS TO BE
THE BEST PLACE TO HIDE.

I WANT YOU TO STAY
UNDERNEATH HERE UNTIL ONE
OF US CALLS YOUR NAME.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

- WHY DO I GOT TO HIDE?
I WANT TO SHOOT, TOO.

- SOMEDAY YOU WILL.

- HEY.

- SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND,
YOUNG MAN?

- I DON'T WANT TO HIDE
UNDER A BED LIKE A COWARD.

I WANT TO HELP.

- WELL, YOU ARE HELPING.

WHILE WE'RE OUTSIDE,

WE'RE GONNA NEED SOMEBODY
INSIDE THE HOUSE,

CLEANING THESE GUNS,

RELOADING.

- AM I REALLY HELPING?

- [CHUCKLES]

YOU'VE BEEN HELPING ME
SO MUCH,

YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE

BUT TO DEPUTIZE YOU.

- YOU MEAN IT?

THANKS, MR. AUSTIN.

[FOOTSTEPS DESCENDING]

- JUST TELL ME IT ISN'T TRUE.

TELL ME YOU DIDN'T SEND
YOUR MEN AFTER SAMUEL.

- WELL, I'M CERTAINLY
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL
OF THEIR ACTIONS, BUT NO.

I DID NOT SEND MY MEN TO GO
HURT THEIR RANCH HAND.

- YOU CAN'T SEND FORCES
INTO MOTION AND THEN CLAIM
YOU'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR--

- YOU'RE JUST LIKE
ALL THE REST OF THEM.
EVERYBODY LOVES ME

AS LONG AS I'M LOBBYING
FOR A RAILROAD
OR A NEW STORE FRONT,

BUT NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW
HOW I GET THOSE THINGS DONE.

- DID YOU REALLY MAKE
AN OFFER TO EDDIE AGUILAR?

- EDDIE FAILED
TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE,

AND, YES, IT'S TRUE--
HIS RANCH HAS THE ONLY WATER
SOURCE WITHIN MILES FROM HERE,

BUT I COULDN'T QUITE SEEM
TO GET HIM TO THINK THAT HIS
WAS A SMALL SACRIFICE.

- ROBBING PEOPLE OF THEIR HOMES
IS NOT A SMALL SACRIFICE.

- YOU SPEAK TO ME
AS THOUGH YOU'VE FORGOTTEN
WHO PAYS YOUR SALARY.

- I SPEAK TO YOU LIKE I'M THE
ONLY CONSCIENCE YOU HAVE LEFT.

CUT YOUR LOSSES,
FOR THE GOOD OF THIS TOWN

AND THE SAKE OF YOUR SOUL.

GIVE UP THE CLAIM
ON THE AGUILAR RANCH.

MONTERO.

THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND.

GET YOUR MEN TOGETHER.
WE HAVE TO PUT AND END
TO THIS NOW.

[OVERLAPPING CONVERSATIONS]

I EXPECT YOU TO KILL
THAT LAWMAN TONIGHT.

- DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT IT.
IT'S ALL TAKEN CARE OF.

YOU READY?

- THOUGHT I WAS GONNA
TAKE CARE OF THE LAWMAN.

- A COUPLE DAYS AGO,
I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED IT,

BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE.

- WE GONNA RIDE IN
SILENT-LIKE?

- NO.

I WANT 'EM TO HEAR
WHAT'S COMING.

LET'S GO, BOYS!

- WHOA.

WHERE YOU TAKING THEM HORSES?

- FIGURE I'D PUT 'EM
IN THE BARN.

- WHAT IF THEY SET FIRE TO
THE BARN? THINK THAT'S WISE?

- WELL, I'M MORE WORRIED
ABOUT 'EM GETTING TURNED OUT.

- AHEM. JUST GIVE ME
A MOMENT HERE.

- YOU, UH, LOOKING FOR THIS?

- THERE'S A...
FIERCE POUNDING IN MY HEAD.

- THIS HERE'S THE ONLY CURE?

- EXACTLY.

- I'M GONNA NEED YOU SOBER.

- PLEASE DON'T POUR IT OUT.

IT'S ALL I GOT.

- NAH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.

BEFORE THIS DAY'S OVER,
WE MIGHT BOTH NEED
A LITTLE SOMETHING.

- [SHOUTING]

- AMAYA!

YOUR TIME AND MY PATIENCE
HAS RUN OUT!

I'M NOT HERE TO NEGOTIATE!

I WANT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
OFF THIS PROPERTY NOW!

- DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
THERE'S ANYBODY HERE.

- OH, THEY'RE HERE.
I'M TELLING YOU, THEY'RE HERE.

- I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
ONE MORE CHANCE.

I DON'T WANT
TO HARM ANYBODY.

MY MEN WILL LET YOU AND YOUR
FAMILY PACK UP YOUR BELONGINGS
AND LEAVE PEACEFULLY.

I JUST WANT WHAT'S RIGHT
FOR THE PEOPLE OF CROCKETT.

AND THIS HERE PROPERTY,

THE WATER THAT'S ON IT,
IT'S RIGHTFULLY THEIRS.

AMAYA, YOU'RE A GOOD WOMAN.

YOU'RE A LOVING MOTHER,
AND I KNOW,

IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS,
YOU KNOW THE RIGHT THING.

SO I'M ASKING YOU,
FOR YOUR SON

AND FOR THE PEOPLE OF CROCKETT,
TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

AMAYA, I PROMISE YOU,

NO ONE GETS HURT,
MY WORD OF HONOR.

- LAMAR HORN!

YOU AIN'T GOT NO HONOR!

YOU'RE NEVER GONNA HAVE
THIS PROPERTY AS LONG
AS I'M AROUND.

ONLY TALKING I'M GONNA
BE DOING IS OUT OF
THE MOUTH OF MY SHOTGUN.

- I GOT HIM.

[MEN SHOUTING]

- AAH!

- OH, MY GOD, BILLY.

- AMAYA!

- LET'S GO!
- COME ON!

- SHERIFF'S DOWN!
SHERIFF'S DOWN!

- STOP!

OH, MY GOD!

GET OUT OF HERE!

GET OFF THE RANCH!
ALL OF YOU!

- LET'S GO, BOYS!

- [SHOUTING]

- AMAYA?

- AUSTIN!

DROP YOUR GUNS!

- TATE!

LET THE BOY GO!

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
DOING WITH THE BOY?!

- DROP THAT GUN, SHERIFF.

ON THE GROUND.

- LET HIM GO!

- PUT DOWN YOUR GUNS!

- YOU HEARD HIM.
PUT THE GUNS DOWN.

PUT YOUR GUNS DOWN.

- I AIN'T LISTENING
TO YOU NO MORE.

YOU WALK STRAIGHT, BOY.

THIS AIN'T ABOUT WATER.

THIS HERE'S ABOUT BLOOD
BETWEEN ME AND THE SHERIFF.

YOU STARTED THIS WHOLE THING
WHEN YOU KILLED MY BROTHER.

- YOU TOOK MY FAMILY.

- YEAH, I DID.

PLANNED ON TAKING YOU.
STRAIGHT AHEAD, BOY.

- THIS IS BETWEEN ME
AND YOU, TATE.

LET THAT BOY GO.

- WHY DON'T YOU JUST KEEP
WALKING FORWARD

AND HAND ME THAT GUN
YOU KILLED MY BROTHER WITH?

I WANT TO USE IT ON YOU.

NOT SO FAST.

OTHER HAND.

COME ON.

SO YOU WANT TO SWITCH YOU
FOR THE BOY, IS THAT IT?

- AAH!

[THUD]

- [CRYING]
MOM!

[THUNDER]

- SAMUEL WAS LIKE
A BROTHER TO HIM.

FIRST EDDIE, THEN HERMAN,
NOW SAMUEL.

I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO HEAL FROM THIS.

- THEY SAY IT TAKES TIME,

GETS EASIER;
I WOULDN'T KNOW, THOUGH.

- SO WILL YOU BE HEADING
BACK TO PARKFIELD NOW?

I'M SURE THE TOWN MISSES
THEIR SHERIFF.

- NO, A BADGE FEELS
A LITTLE HEAVY TO ME.

TRUTH IS, IT...
IT ALWAYS DID.

- SO WHERE WILL YOU GO?

- MA'AM, I DON'T KNOW
THAT I'M NEEDED ANYWHERE.

- YOU THINK YOU MIGHT STAY?

- IT'S A LOT OF WORK,
YOUR RANCH.

IT'S NOT ALL GONNA
GET DONE BY ITSELF.

- NO, IT'S NOT.

I SUSPECT IT'LL TAKE
SOME TIME.
