Don't turn around.

Just keep your hands
around that tin of coffee.

- You're Crown.
- I am Crown.

I'm Felix Gauge.

And my brother Gene.

I got a picture of
two in my office.

His jokes go with a deal?

I don't make a deal
with the likes of you two.

There's no joke.

I'll decide that.

Let's hear it.

Shay Wells.

The gunfight... That
one, we were there.

And that shoot
up down in Garver.

Garver, yeah, that one, too.

What's that mean in prison time?

That's up to the judge.

What's it mean,
three years, five?

You could get hung for
that bank holdup at Gaemon.

We never touched Gaemon.

Well, how about cutting up
that posse at Indian Flats?

- We was nowhere near Indian Flats.
- No.

I suppose you never rode
with Billy Rogers either.

Come on, Crown, let's separate
the fictions from the facts.

Gauge...

you were making a lot of
noise up and down the outlet.

Getting so they're thinking
about naming a place after you.

Well, that winter we weren't
within 200 miles of the outlet.

I wrote the judge a letter
and told him about that.

Well, then you won't mind me
doing a little bit of backtracking.

That wasn't in the deal.

It is the deal.

Judge Hayes is gonna
take a plea of guilty

for Shay Wells and Garver.

I'll be looking
into the rest of it.

There ain't no rest.

Now we ride out, Felix.

I got a itch.

We ride right across
them blue mountains

and down to the panhandle
and straight to the Rio Grande.

Yeah, and get cut
down for bounty!

They've got $15,000
on our heads!

Probably because
of a bunch of lies.

Well, you listen to him.

He's telling you
we're dead either way.

We ain't gonna hang for
something we didn't do!

You get that through your head.

You got more respect
for the judge than that,

otherwise you wouldn't
have written him.

We ride out we don't
like how it's going?

Only place you're gonna
be riding is back to Cimarron.

Face a judge.

He's out on circuit now.

Your trial's gonna
be held in ten days.

You're coming in voluntarily.

- Bounty taken off?
- As long as you're in my custody.

You two make no
mistake about it...

You're gonna be throwing
yourselves on the mercy of the court.

(scoffing)

You sure have got our
interest at heart, Mr. Crown.

I can read that.

I got ten days and
I'm gonna use 'em.

And you're gonna be
getting what's coming to you,

one way or the other.

Now, if you don't
like the terms,

you can go back to
sleeping in the hills.

If you do, follow me.

It's a hot day, a long ride back

and it isn't getting any cooler.

Expecting somebody important
on the stage today, Francis?

Stage ain't even
due for an hour.

Wow.

I guess the talk was right.

They're surrendering for trial.

Look so young.

Mac, give me a hand.

15,000 on their heads.

What a couple of 5-cent
bullets would have brought

if somebody had
got 'em before Crown.

Mr. Gauge, will you
hold it right there?

Just one second, Jim...

- That's good.
- (popping)

Fine, thank you.

That dance celebrating
our homecoming?

The Wayfarer's Inn is gonna
be closed until further notice.

Come on.

Gauge brothers.

- (clattering)
- Oh...

I hope you won't mind
our table manners, miss.

Been on the hungry side
a better part of a week.

Well, from the rate
you're going, I think you...

need a couple more steaks.

Got to hand it to you, Crown.

I sure like the way you
manage these accommodations.

Your room is at
the top of the stairs,

first door on the right.

There's a bolt on the inside

and shutters on the window.

You're sure going to a large
expense on our account.

It's a lot less expensive than
chasing you over the territory.

Said ten days.

Can't be any quicker?

No, the judge won't
be back any sooner.

And I'm gonna need every
minute to check you out.

You still calling us liars?

You try to tell me why
the name of Gauge

was linked with the
Billy Rogers' gang?

He was making a hellhole
below the South Flats.

Well now, that whole winter,
Felix was holed up down in Sinarro

with a slug in his lung.

I was playing nurse maid to him.

A contract busted some
ranchers down there.

You didn't answer my question.

I don't know why we were
tied in with Billy Rogers.

But if you think there's
anything more to it, Crown,

you're gonna have to prove it.

That's the way I see it.

Now 50 yards to the
north there's a town hall.

50 yards to the
south is a barber shop.

Those are your limits.

You step outside those limits
without me or one of my deputies,

I'll hand over a $15,000 voucher

to the man who brings
your bodies back.

You said the bounty was off.

As long as you're in my custody.

- What about our guns?
- You'll get 'em back.

If and when.

Are we supposed to walk
down that street without 'em?

Well, you walk down
that street with 'em

it's gonna be an open invite
to the first draw-crazy kid

who wants to try you out.

Makes sense.

Well, the territory paying
our funeral expenses, too?

Nobody's gonna draw on an
unarmed man, not around here.

If he does, he knows there'll
be a rope waiting for him.

Now, if anybody leans
on ya, you don't lean back.

You come running to
me and I'll straighten it out.

- Now, you got that clear?
- Clear.

Have a good stay.

He sure got a long,
hard nose on him.

He's a man that does a
job, that's all I'm asking.

This where all that
magic takes place.

The cook has a
weakness for flattery.

Thank you.

You look different.

I feel different.

The man gets the
dirt cleaned off him

doesn't have to
apologize anymore.

That's a strange
way of putting it.

I don't suppose there's
any sense in me telling you

you're the prettiest
thing in Cimarron.

You know that already.

Mr. Gauge.

Oh, excuse me.

Gene.

Well, I wasn't totally
sure, but thank you.

Your, uh, time
being taken up any?

In what way?

Well, I expect I'm about a week
late asking you to that dance tonight?

Well, I'm on the ladies
refreshment committee

so I'll be working.

Yeah, I expect you wouldn't be too
happy being seen with me anyhow.

That's not true.

Well, you're gonna be busy
taking that cake to the dance

but what about after?

- Well...
- Let's just say you've been spoken for.

I'll be seeing you home
safe after the dance,

that is if it don't bother you?

Dulcey...

don't wait for me for supper.

All right.

Don't you dare.

Why, you're getting to
be quite a mind reader.

That's not so hard to do.

All right then.

How do you read that kid?

Mr. Crown, I'm a big girl now

and quite able
to think for myself.

Size has got nothing
to do with brains.

Why do you dislike them so?

Because I know
them and their kind.

Now, maybe that
kid's got a pretty smile

but he's rotten
through and through.

Even his own brother can't
see him for what he really is,

a born killer.

And you can prove that?

Dulcey, I'm trying
to tell you something.

Jim, excuse me just a minute.

How do you like that? I
made an extra print for you.

Got a frame for
it and everything.

What do you want
me to do with it?

Well, I thought you might
wanna hang it over your desk.

It isn't every day a marshal
brings in somebody like

a Felix and a Gene Gauge...

Well, do you think I
could get it autographed?

(door slamming)

Did I say something wrong?

Oh, shut up.

Thank you very much.

Have a good time at the party.

You're sure not
wasting any time.

There's a lot of
rocks to look under.

- Anything crawl out?
- No, not yet.

Well, good luck.

Oh, uh...

Remember, 50 yards
up and 50 yards down.

The dance is safe, ain't it?

As safe as prairie

Just don't start any sparks.

Leave it be.

Mr. Gauge, I read a whole
book about all your gun fights.

Pa tore mine up.

Pa shows a lot of sense.

You a gunfighter too, Mr. Gauge?

Never was any

All right, now

Evening, Mr. Gauge.

Gene.

We don't have any money.

Oh, that's all right.

By the way, I put a

It turned out real fine.

You work for the newspaper?

Well, I'm sort of a
freelance reporter.

I send in pictures and stories.

Right now I work
for Marshal Crown.

Doing what?

- Um...

Mister, we've never met.

Where do you come

No.

No, but you met my

You left him hanging in

The Billy Rogers' gang

You heard all about it!

I'm not so sure about it yet.

Now you simmer down or get out.

Yeah, there might even
be a few more laughs.

I wanna talk to
you... privately.

Then follow me.

Upstairs.

I'm sorry.

It must have been very
embarrassing for you.

Mr. Buckman is a
very emotional man.

Mr. Buckman is a
man with a big boot.

We hired out to the big boots.

Buckman and the like.

They slept in their soft beds
while we slept in the hills

with saddles for pillows.

Now the range wars are over

and there's no use for us.

Just to make sure they don't
have to look us in the face

they say that maybe
it wasn't wrong

for hiring and
paying for the killings

but just the doing of it.

You said something
about seeing me home?

(chuckling)

Ms. Dulcey, you mean real well

and I thank you,

but I'm just not taking
any favors anymore.

'Cause I've staked
everything on this

and it's just not working
out the way I want it.

I can just see it all
going down the hole.

Buckman and everybody like him
putting us where we never were.

That's not it.

You know you're gonna have
to face Buckman and the likes

when you made the
deal with Judge Hayes.

Now quit fooling around,
let's get to the point.

You.

I get the feeling
you're out to crucify us.

You said you wanted to
pay for everything you did.

All right.

Well, I'm here to see that the
law doesn't get shortchanged.

Oh, that's pretty funny
coming from you, Crown.

The way I hear it, you shook a
pretty rough stick yourself once

before they pinned that
marshal's badge on you.

That's right.

Well, it could just as easy
be you running around here,

trying to square things,

just trying to get
somebody to listen to you.

You didn't have
to make that deal.

You could've stayed
right where you were.

Now what's the real squeeze?

I've been telling ya...

I'm trading because I
want the rest of my life.

And for Gene, there's a future.

Oh, so that's it.

Gene, hmm?

He's your big stake.

He deserves a chance,
Crown, he's just a kid.

Ah, he hasn't been a kid
since he strapped on an iron

and started listening to
those tall tales about you.

You better take a
closer look at him.

I'm asking you, Crown.

Give him a chance.

The judge gives us a deal,
he can get a fresh start.

All for him, is that it?

I think you see a
lot of yourself in him.

And even more.

Whereas you can draw
the line; maybe he can't.

Like riding on the
outlet with Billy...

I told ya, he stayed with me.

We're always together.

You try pinning something
on him he didn't do,

we're both gonna pay for it.

If that's true, you got
nothing to worry about.

If not, cut him loose.

Otherwise... Felix,
you're gonna have to pay.

And you're gonna
pay the hard way.

it said enough, Mr. Buckman.

I assume you're both well-acquainted
with the situation here in Cimarron.

We know enough to see
the man who guns down

Gene and Felix
Gauge in that street

gets the wrong end of a rope.

Look, if you don't
like the hand I dealt,

you can both just move
on out of town $500 richer

and just forget
that we even talked.

Real fair listening money.

Yeah.

I suppose you're
riding out again today?

Mm-hmm.

Well, you're not being fair.

I've got a job to do

and I'm expected to do it.

The judge is only
waiting for you to say

that the charges are unfounded.

I will when I can.

You know, you've been rubbing
shoulders with outlaws and killers

for so long that you're beginning
to think everybody is the same!

Well, your breeches must
be just about warn out from

all that riding

So how do we stand?

You're looking better

You've been at it
almost a week now.

How much longer?

A day or two.

Ever hear of a Jake Mulady?

- One of Billy Rogers' men, isn't he?
- Mm-hmm.

And the sheriff from Beaver
City, he tracked him down.

so I thought I'd take some
leftover stew to the Calloways.

Leftover?

Lass, there's enough
to feed an army.

You know, another day in
bed wouldn't have hurt you.

Well, I was getting kind
of restless, Ms. Dulcey,

so I thought I'd
get myself some air.

I don't imagine the marshal
has anything against me

- wearing my guns.
- Nope.

Nothing at all...
When you leave town.

I sure do owe you, Ms. Dulcey.

Oh, nonsense, I get
paid for what I do.

Like staying up half
the night with me?

How did you know that?

I thought you were unconscious.

Well, some things got through.

Like it was dark, and
there was a big hurt,

and I was scared,

and I said to myself, "That's Ms.
Dulcey sitting there beside me."

I remember thinking, that's
a real nice thing she's doing.

I'm just gonna have to get well
and see if I can pay her back.

That's a roundabout way
of regaining your health

but I'm glad it worked.

Well... you best
stay inside tonight.

Go on, sit down, lad, sit down.

I'll be with you soon as I
finish this report for the marshal.

Don't mind me.

Tonight's payoff night, huh?

Aye.

How did you know?

Oh, just a smell in the wind.

Well, get it off your mind, lad.

But some say they
were range detectives.

Hmm, detectives indeed.

Border trash they are, to
see a man's back as a target.

Expect to be going back that
way when they get paid off, huh?

Laddie...

it's your interest at
heart I have in saying

you'll only be bringing
trouble upon yourself

in giving it another thought.

(scoffing)

And I might mention, there's
no leaving town for you tonight.

- Who says?
- The marshal himself.

And I'm being no more
than a step behind you

the minute you thought
of heading for the stables.

Well, I'll have to take
that up with Crown.

Holding me in this town.

When do you
figure he'll be back?

Oh, not until morning at best.

Camped a half-night's
ride to the south, huh?

Must be pretty nervous.

Now, I didn't say
they were south.

And I didn't say they were
a half-night's ride there.

Ah, don't worry
about it, MacGregor.

Right now all I got on my
mind is a couple of drinks

and a little socializing.

(laughing)

Which shows your
good judgment, lad.

And they're on me.

Well, that's quite an offer,
coming from a Scotchman.

Oh, I have my weaknesses.

Oh... ahh...

Gene, what is it?

I don't know, I...

Well, hold on, lad, hold on.

I'll get you...

I'm sorry, sir, this

Oh, I... I've never been in any
place before, turning down business.

Give him a drink, Thomas.

Put it on my account.

Ah, Mr. Buckman, I thank you.

What do you drink?

Why don't you let me
have some of that stuff

in that fancy
little bottle there.

Looks kind of expensive.

I'll bet Mr. Buckman has
some of that occasionally.

It's almost like him and
me having a drink together.

I don't drink with scum.

Well, now I don't blame
you, Mr. Buckman.

I sincerely don't.

Anybody can see you're a
man of taste, honor and integrity.

Me, I'm not much of anybody.

You certainly aren't.

You're a liar and a thief.

Guess it would've suited you better
if they buried me alongside of Felix.

You didn't come
in here for a drink.

So go ahead, boy,
make your play.

I ain't afraid of you.

Ha-ha, now, Mr. Buckman, I
know you're not afraid of me.

Fact is I know you're not
afraid of a living person

in this whole world.

That's right, so go ahead.

Drink your drink and
get on out of here.

Ha.

I've never seen no
shiny whiskey before.

Everything's shiny.

So a man knows
he's got the best.

You know, I remember
when I was real small,

thinking everything good
came from shiny things.

Like a silver dollar.

My mama's hair.

How my daddy looked
when he was cutting wood,

all sweaty, muscles
standing out,

looking like he was
gonna last forever.

First gun I ever got,
haven't it nickel-plated.

You were given a
drink, not a soapbox.

To your health, Mr. Buckman.

Ha.

Real good.

And don't you ever come
back here again, boy.

Mr. Buckman, you
keep calling me "boy."

Now, that's a
mistake you're making.

Then you've been making
a lot of mistakes lately.

Like making Felix
kill that son of yours.

He didn't.

Throw him out, Thomas.

Oh, now...

a man gets a drink
bought for himself

it's not polite to take
it away from him.

Your brother got no
less than he deserved.

Well, now that wasn't
the subject, Mr. Buckman.

Ah, maybe Felix
did deserved to die.

Like a lot of people
deserve to but don't.

What I said was,

"You made a mistake thinking
Felix killed that son of yours."

Fact is, about that time,
Felix was holed up in Sinarro

about an inch away
from death himself.

Get out of here, boy.

You keep calling me
"boy," Mr. Buckman!

And I ain't.

That son of yours,

he was a boy, in fact.

A grown man don't
cry when he's hurt.

At least not the way he did.

Yes, sir, he sure did a
lot of blubbing that day,

hanging on that wire.

You know something,

he'd have been a handsome man

if he'd have "growed" up.

You're lying, you
were never there!

Well now, that's a funny thing.

Felix said he wasn't there
and you had him killed.

I'm standing here talking to you

and all you wanna
do is buy me a drink.

Get out of here!

Oh, I'm going, Mr. Buckman.

Fact is, I got pressing
business elsewhere.

Just didn't wanna
leave nothing behind me.

That boy of yours,

he didn't die
easy... I'll say that.

Fact is...

he was kind of stubborn-like,

hanging on that wire, bleeding.

You weren't there!

Calling for his daddy.

Just hanging there, kind
of swaying back and forth.

Crying and calling
for his daddy.

Drink this one to that son
of yours, Mr. Buckman.

I put those slugs where they're
gonna hurt real bad, Mr. Buckman.

You might not even die.

Just wish you had
for a real long time.

Real good shiny whiskey.
