[insect buzzing]

[brush crunching]

Please God, don't kill me.

[gun cocks]

It was just work.

I needed the money.

Well, I guess you've been paid in lead.

There a warrant for me?

Speak true and I'll take away your pain.

[birds chirping]

[boot thuds] [victim cries out]

[victim gasps]

Tickle much?

[somber strings music]

[victim gagging]

[slow somber orchestral music]

Please.

Hey.

Don't, don't you kill me.

I have a family.

You've been gut shot. You're in the middle of nowhere.

You don't wanna bleed out here.

Buzzards, they'll start picking out your body

before you finish passing.

Please God. No.

[gunshot blasts] [blood splurting]

[traditional Western music]

[Stewart breathing heavily]

[melodious whistling]

Stewart.

[Stewart gasps]

Come on out.

[tense suspenseful music]

[Stewart] Is he dead?

Yeah, he's dead.

[tense music] [paper rustles]

$2,000.

You know what this means?

Yeah. More bounty hunters on our trail.

Lots more men coming to collect.

More gunfire, more killing.

I don't think I can handle this.

Stewart, if you ain't got the guts for this life,

then maybe you should get yourself elsewhere.

I, I thought I could do this.

Be like you.

But I can't.

Take his guns, his belt.

You should get some good money for 'em.

Really?

Leave the bullets.

[birds chirping]

[sighs] I hate to tell you this.

[sighs] Horses ran off when the shooting started.

That horse I was riding?

Yeah, that one too.

They got spooked.

No horse, no money, and a bounty on my trail.

Smart you walk away, kid.

Go on.

You're gonna need money to get out of town.

Maybe get a train ticket.

You gonna take that job I done told you about?

Now that I ain't got no horse, I don't have no choice.

What do you mean?

This wouldn't be the first, second, or 10th time

you killed for money.

No, it ain't, kid.

[slow somber music]

It's been a real honor knowing you.

Sorry I can't ride with you no more.

[gun cocks]

I have no money.

You carrying a shootin' iron?

None.

In fact, I have nothing that would tempt a highway man.

Where's the pity?

I've been called a lot of things,

but a thief ain't one of 'em.

Oh I see, you're a wanted man.

May I ask for what?

Nothin' you want a part of.

If you'd consider putting that gun down for a moment,

perhaps we could converse.

You alone?

I never answer at gunpoint.

[water flowing]

I'm alone.

I just come here to get water from the creek every morning.

Church is uh, nearby.

Would you like to come with me and talk there?

You got horses at your church?

I'd be riding if we did.

Would you like to come up and see?

Man on the run ain't got time for a friendly stroll.

That poster reads that you're wanted

for multiple counts of murder.

Well.

[poster crinkles]

Ain't you got sharp eyes, padre.

My ears work as well.

You hear it?

[horse galloping]

A wanted man I think should hide out of sight.

If you promise to refrain from violence,

I promise to send them on their way.

[somber tense music]

Good day to you, father.

[Elijah] Good day.

Have you seen this man?

I'm afraid I can't help you.

Well.

Thank you, father.

You keep a watch, now.

Can I give you a ride into town or up to the church?

I'm right where the good Lord needs me to be.

Thank you.

Well thank you, father.

[horse trotting]

[slow somber music]

Padre,

you could've made yourself a rich man.

Dollars don't interest me, but your soul does.

Well, you allowed me another sunrise,

and for that I'm grateful.

It's good you know what it is to be grateful,

means there's hope for you.

Hope? Hope's like time, it ain't never been on my side.

I think we met for a reason.

Padre, trust me, your Lord,

he ain't got no use for a man like me.

You may have turned your back on the Lord,

but the Lord has not turned his back on you.

I can show you.

Padre, you could wash me in the blood of the savior,

but it ain't gonna wash the blood from these hands.

That you call him savior means that your faith

hasn't deserted you.

A moment ago, I held your life in my hands.

That you're still standing at this moment is his doing.

Wouldn't you agree?

I give you back to God, my son.

Go, from this hour no longer an agent of evil.

The devil no longer your guide.

[gentle music]

[water flowing]

[hammer tapping]

Mrs. Boswell.

Who are you?

I'm a gun for hire, ma'am.

I heard you got a call for a fellow like me.

I didn't think anyone would come.

[birds tweeting]

You sure you wanna do this?

You think I'm a monster?

No, ma'am I've seen monsters.

I just want to be sure that you're certain

that you wanna go through with this, to the end.

[Mrs. Boswell sniffles]

He was wrapped in this when he was born.

We had hoped the doctors were wrong but,

as he grew, he never spoke.

Never called me mama.

He never smiled at me.

My son was born wrong, you see.

Feeble-minded.

There was nothing the doctors could do.

They said I waited too long to have a baby,

and this was a common occurrence among older mothers.

I didn't realize it at the time.

Had I known.

Doctor said he wouldn't live very long but,

each time he's fallen, I've been there.

He's never dirty or hungry.

And all that should bring me joy.

But there's only misery.

My husband left.

He couldn't take it anymore.

Said the boy's an abomination, and it's a sin to raise him.

I don't want this anymore.

I have a dream, to get back with my husband.

We can adopt a normal, healthy child and live a happy life.

You see, I'm not a bad person.

[slow somber music]

I can do what you need done, ma'am.

Thank you, sir.

You don't know what this means to me.

I've wanted to do it myself but, I just couldn't.

What do I call you, good sir?

What's your name?

My name and what I'm about to do, ma'am,

are two things you'd best forget.

He's still my lil.

Please make sure he doesn't suffer.

I will.

There's a grave site up the hill.

That's where I buried my father.

I left a shovel for you, or if you want,

- I can help you... - No, no.

Ma'am, that won't be necessary.

You'll hear two shots close together,

then you'll know it's done.

[harmonica tapping]

[gentle somber music]

Come on, boy.

[slow somber music]

Darlin'. [laughs]

- Hey. - How I've missed you so.

Our bed has been cold without you, lonely.

But, now that you're back, all shall be as it was.

Let me still my prattling.

Were you able to bring the cattle in?

Did you make the money you'd hoped for?

You're so thin.

Well, food's been a little scarce.

Fox took all our chickens, and the, the crops,

they were spoiled by flooding a few months ago.

But, now that you're back...

But, but you said uh, when...

What?

When I left last season...

Yeah?

You said that uh, well,

you, you thought you were pregnant

And I've been gone from months now.

I thought you'd be uh, you know,

rounder.

I regret.

I, I was mistaken.

[birds chirping]

So you're not with child?

I'm not. But, we can try again now that you're back.

We've been married for years, Charlotte,

and I'm still without a son.

But in your frustration, my love, remember,

making the baby is the fun part.

Where'd you learn to talk so dirty?

All I'm saying is, do not give in to despair.

We can start fresh.

I love you Charlotte, but I want a family.

And I told you how important that was to me

when we first got married.

And it is a gift I wish to give you in abundance, my love.

Yeah, you've been saying that year in, year out.

But every damn year it's the same problem.

What are you, what are you saying?

I made preparations.

In case I came back to find you not with child.

I went to the courthouse on my way home.

[insect buzzing]

Somehow, I just knew you wasn't gonna be pregnant.

You need to make your mark on these here papers.

That'll be the divorce, done and legal.

[bird chirping]

You love me.

How can you give up on me like this?

I do love you, but I need a whole woman.

All right?

One that can bear me children.

You just can't do that.

A whole woman?

One that's fertile.

[tense music]

Is there? Is there someone else?

[tense music]

Who is she?

It's nothin' like that.

Tell me.

[Charlotte grunting]

Who is she?

[Bo grunts]

[tense music]

It's Mary Sue Olson.

The girl who works at the mercantile?

Don't make this any harder than it already is.

All right?

Just go on and make your mark now.

[birds chirping]

I'm gonna need my grandmama's ring back.

No, Bo. You are not doing this to me.

You can't just take all of a person's heart and cast it off

[deep strings music]

when and where it pleases you.

Farewell, Charlotte.

[tense music]

I'll give you back your father's name.

[tense somber music]

[melancholic Western music]

[two gunshots pop]

[bird caws]

[melancholic Western music]

Come on kid, let's get outta here

before your mother realizes what happened.

Come on now.

[relaxed orchestral music]

Something bothering you, boy?

What's the matter?

You're hungry, huh?

Well.

Show you what I've got.

[water flowing]

This is all I got.

[water flowing]

Try it. It's good.

Mm-hmm. That's good, isn't it?

You wanna tell me your name now?

[gentle Western music]

Okay.

[gentle Western music]

I'm Jericho.

Feeling better?

We got a ways to go, boy.

[gentle Western music]

[fire crackling] [insects buzzing]

So what should I call you?

[groans] You don't gotta tell me if you don't want to.

I'm Jericho.

Can you say that?

Why don't you play that, that song of yours.

That one you played this morning.

[insects buzzing] [fire crackling]

[melancholic harmonica music]

Yeah.

That's kinda sweet.

[melancholic harmonica music]

It's all comforting. It's sweet.

[insects buzzing] [fire crackling]

[gentle Western music]

We meet again.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Padre, I was, I was hoping I'd run into you.

That's why I'm here.

I'm here where the good Lord wants me to be.

I begin and end my life in his service.

Service?

Yes, we must live to serve someone or something.

Who do you serve?

Well, I served many a horror in my day,

but that's not a conversation I'd wanna have with a priest.

[both chuckle]

Service, Jericho?

What you just described is a carnal pleasure, not service.

Who's your partner?

That's a poor, feeble-minded boy.

Feeble-minded?

His mind's broke somehow.

Maybe he was just born wrong.

There's nothing wrong with any of God's children.

Sleeping there, he looks like a little angel.

He might, I don't know what an angel looks like.

I do. I can see it from here.

His pure heart.

Children like this, born that way,

have a unique ability of bringing out the best in people.

How so?

They require extra patience, understanding, compassion.

They can be the cure for the selfishness in people's hearts.

Anyone who would live in service to a child of God,

would live by the grace of God.

That boy's mama wanted me to put him in a cold grave.

You know, I killed a lot of men in my day,

and I'm sure I'll see a lotta of them in hell.

But, when I looked in that boy's eyes, I couldn't do it.

[birds chirping]

Now I don't know what to do with him,

and that's why I'm here, padre.

Mm, an act of compassion.

Not something that you would find written

on that wanted poster.

Well, it's my first time.

So maybe the newspapers haven't picked up on it yet.

First act of compassion is important.

It's a step towards change.

Padre, don't get carried away.

I'm just looking for a place to stash that boy.

[priest sighs]

One of my parishioners could be of help to you.

[gentle music]

[horse shudders]

[gentle music]

[tense music]

Good day, ma'am.

I'm uh, just wondering

if you might've seen this here feller.

He's a wanted criminal.

I have not. Are you the law?

Mind if I take a look in the house?

I told you I haven't seen him.

You don't question me in my own home.

You alone?

What?

Well, you sure are pretty.

Not safe for a lady to be alone.

Not with a wanted killer on the loose.

I haven't seen the man you're looking for.

And I think it's best if you go.

I don't take kindly to rudeness, ma'am.

Please, go.

[gun barrel clicks]

There I was paying you a compliment.

But there is still somethin' I want from ya.

There's nothing for you here.

Please leave. Now.

You know, I've been hunting this crazed killer for weeks.

I bring criminals to justice.

I make the world a safer place.

I'm kind of a hero of sorts.

And, I like you.

I think you're real pretty.

Oops, said that already.

Guess I'm kinda nervous.

No need to be.

But, I do have things to tend to so,

it's best if you got goin' now.

I like you. You know, in a romantic way.

Listen here.

What if I was to make it worth your while?

What?

Well, you know like them girls in town.

Them soiled doves at the saloon.

I am no whore.

Well, you sure do speak like one.

Dirty tongue.

Bet you can do plenty with that mouth.

Bite.

No need for them teeth, darling.

The gentlemanly tone you're gettin' is a gift.

I could take you inside, pull that dress over your head,

and forget all this fool talking.

But I got me a good standing with the marshal.

Hence why I'm approaching you with all this commerce.

I'm offering you money, for just a little of your time.

You better turn around and get outta here.

My husband'll be home soon.

Husband? You ain't got no husband, do you?

I do too. And he's due back any moment now.

Then where's your wedding ring, married lady?

I'll be your husband now.

[tense scary music]

And tonight will be our honeymoon.

You dare touch me, you'll be sorry.

Mark my words.

Damn. You are a 4th of July firecracker, ain't ya?

Well, if ya ain't keen on giving me some of that good loving

at least you can offer me to touch them fine bosoms

you're hiding there.

I'll pay you cash.

Make it, make opening that blouse easier on ya.

Yeah. I, I, I just wanna see 'em and touch 'em.

I won't touch nothing else.

See? I'm being fair, being reasonable.

I'm startin' to understand.

Forgive me.

I can see that you're trying to be reasonable.

And, my body is indeed beautiful.

The desire in you shouldn't be denied.

Now you're talking.

It's just that...

What's that?

Your gun.

It would be difficult to show you my body

with that gun in your hand.

Guns make me nervous.

[gun clicks]

I'll be honest with you.

I do need the money, and you aren't asking for too much.

You're also right.

I am alone.

Secretly, I tell you, sir,

how I yearn for the touch of a strong man like you.

If you would be kind enough to remove your gun altogether,

I may be moved to allow you to kiss them.

Kiss, you say?

As your pleasure commands.

After all, they're very sweet.

Such a gift is your kindness and understanding.

You should be rewarded.

[tense music]

I gave you the opportunity to leave in peace,

but you chose to stay and die.

[tense music]

My pecker's more fearsome than that, sister.

[gunshot pops] [man groans]

Oh, bitch, you done shot me.

Oh, it didn't even go through.

Damn, I think you cracked a rib.

[tense adventurous music]

[Charlotte breathing heavily]

[tense adventurous music]

[Charlotte breathing heavily]

[gunshot pops]

[Charlotte gasps]

[gunshot pops]

[birds chirping]

You wait right here.

What is the problem with you women folk now-a-days?

Goddammit.

Yeah, here I am talking to you all romantic-like.

[Charlotte grunts]

And gentlemanly, and...

[handcuffs clicking]

There, dammit. [Charlotte yelling]

- The choice is yours, sugar. - No!

Yeah, you can live, and let me do my business.

Or, I can just shoot you in the head.

[Charlotte cries out]

Then I'll have my way with your pretty self.

You'll be warm just long enough for me

to do what needs doing.

[Charlotte groaning]

Trust me. I got me experience.

[Charlotte groans]

[gentle Western music]

Ain't you that son of a whore,

tried to shoot me in the back week's past?

Now, Jericho, thems was just warning shots.

I wasn't trying to hit you or anything.

You hit my horse. That horse and I came a long way.

I oughta kill you just for that.

Well, you stole my horse after that little exchange.

I guess that makes us even.

Your horse ran off yesterday.

That horse wasn't worth a shit.

Yeah? Well, maybe that serves you right.

Also, I got a question for ya.

Is that how you killed all those men?

Sneaking up on 'em from behind?

You afraid to draw on a man?

Look a man in his eye?

You want me to give you a show down?

Release that girl.

Why?

'Cause If you don't, I'll drop you where you stand.

[majestic orchestral music]

Ma'am.

I left a young boy at your front door.

Now, if this is my hour,

I want your word that you'll raise him up

till he can stand on his own.

You have my word. But, I ask one thing of you.

Kill this bastard good.

Shoot him in the balls.

I like a girl with a dirty mouth.

Rest assured ma'am.

Looking to make this a fair fight, Jericho.

I'm just waiting for her to clear.

[majestic orchestral music]

[gunshot blasts]

That's for my horse.

[gun clicks]

And this is for the girl.

[gunshot blasts]

[victim groans]

[majestic orchestral music]

You say that the priest sent you?

Yes ma'am, he did.

Divine intervention. My thanks to you.

Uh, by any chance you have uh, any food for the boy here?

Is he your son?

No, just uh, I was taking care of him

until I could find him a place.

I see.

Well, I don't have much food,

but what's here, you're welcome to it.

I tell you what, why don't you fix up somethin'

for you and the boy, and I'll head out

and see if I can't shoot a couple of varmints for the table.

That's very kind of you.

In exchange, I insist you stay for the night.

[birds tweeting]

If you have a spare blanket, I'll camp out front,

and the boy will stay here with you.

Agreed.

[gentle orchestral music]

[insects buzzing]

[gentle orchestral music]

[insects buzzing]

[knocking at door]

It's Jericho.

You ever fix something with fox?

Fox?

Oh, I bet he's the one that's been killing my chickens.

Thank you.

Well, I'm glad to be of service.

[gentle orchestral music]

Service?

You've been that and more. Bless you.

Save your blessings for that boy.

Slumbering there, is he?

He is. A full belly'll do that to you.

Yes, it will.

You're the first killer I ever heard of

caring for a child.

Pardon me?

That miserable wretch of a bounty hunter you shot?

He was looking for you.

Said you were a killer.

Showed me your wanted poster.

But I see you now, caring for this innocent child.

[insects buzzing]

Why is the law after you? If I may ask.

Well ma'am, after the war,

some men hired me to clear the way

for them to lay their railroad.

Now there's some other men who wanna hang me for it.

I guess I never really found my place in this world.

Well, you've allowed me to keep my virtue.

Impressed me with your kindness to the child.

You've even apprehended the fox that ate my chickens.

So far, your presence in my world is welcome.

This day, you've turned a once sorry house into a home.

Ma'am...

Please, my name is Charlotte.

Charlotte [laughs] them might be the kindest words

that's ever been spoke to me.

[gentle orchestral music]

There we go.

Thank you.

Oh, he likes to have his arm rubbed like this.

[gentle orchestral music]

Ready to tell me your name now?

Come on.

Talk to me.

I'm Jericho.

That's Charlotte.

And your name is?

Come on, boy.

[gentle orchestral music]

I know he's in there somewhere.

He just can't seem to tell his tale yet.

One thing he might need is stability.

A home.

You could leave him here.

Just till you get clear of your trouble.

Charlotte, I may never be clear of my troubles.

Then, maybe you should stay too.

Stay?

Permanently.

Forgive me.

My mouth sometimes gets me into trouble.

But, I feel, I must speak my mind.

And yes, you should consider living here.

Like?

Like a family.

What would be my part in this family?

The husband?

Charlotte, you're a beautiful young woman.

You're like a, like a flower in this wilderness.

And you're too smart to waste your life on a,

on an old dog like me.

I'm no such flower, as I may appear.

I've got a past.

We all have a past. It's best to leave it behind us.

My past I'm afraid, follows me.

I'm

barren.

I can't have kids.

Not the kind of prize most men would want to win.

Only a fool wouldn't see you for what you are.

And that is?

You're a fine lady.

I'd give my oath on it.

And as far as I can reckon, not being able to bear children,

well that, that ain't no sin.

[knocking at door]

[gun clicks]

It's our mutual friend.

Father Ramirez, come in.

[door squeaks]

Have a seat.

[Jericho] So that's your name.

Father Elijah Ramirez.

Elijah, huh?

Well that makes sense.

You being a priest and all.

[Elijah] How's that?

Well, Elijah's one of those prophets

from the uh Bible, isn't he?

[Elijah] Revelation, indeed.

You know your Bible.

Caring for a child, keeping company with a priest.

You're like no killer I've ever heard of.

But, I'll let you boys get to it.

I've got things to tend to.

[door squeaks]

[door clicks shut]

Is your first act of compassion

branching off into better prospects?

Well how do you mean, padre?

If you live a life in service to her, to the boy,

you'll no longer be a ship in sea without a rudder.

You'll have direction, purpose.

And you'll learn that wickedness

has nothing to offer in comparison.

Padre, I've got guns that are chasing me

that will not quit until I'm dead, dead in their wake.

A difficult situation to be in.

A new life within arms' reach,

while your old life is biting at your heels.

You want to change, Jericho?

You want to live a peaceful life?

Answer me.

Only a damn fool would say no to such a thing.

[Jericho sighs]

From now on, repent.

Atone.

Ask forgiveness for what you've done.

And no more killings.

As man of this house, I will have to defend them.

Defend, but don't murder.

Thus you must dedicate your life to providing for the boy,

protecting him before yourself.

That's it?

And church on Sunday, every Sunday.

And you must accompany me once a week

with my missionary work.

And if you're lucky, that lovely young woman

will let you be part of her life.

She needs a husband.

The boy needs a father.

And you need a home.

Okay, padre. How do we do this?

We'll go to town to see the judge.

And I'll explain to him that you're gonna dedicate your life

to the family and the church.

And that you'll be under my supervision.

[gentle music]

[train bell clangs distantly]

[gentle music]

Wait here.

Best that I talk to the judge myself.

[gentle piano music]

Jericho?

Well I'll be goddamned. It is you.

I heard it told you were shot dead two winters back

by a posse that ambushed you.

They ambushed me all right, but I buried 'em

and left 'em up on that mountain.

[Wopat] I hoped against reason that I might by chance

cross your way.

Why is that?

I got work to suit ya. Paying cash money, big money.

I got the law on my heels, Wopat.

Not the law in my territory.

Even if they did know about you all the way out there,

I'm in good favor with the sheriff.

Few dollars across his desk, he'll pay you no mind.

What would I be doing?

What else would I need you for?

I need the fastest damn gun I ever seen.

I got some filthy savages need killin'.

They don't like my railroad tracks

running across their sacred earth, or some such horse shit.

Anyhow, I got an empty room waiting for you at the brothel,

with plenty of fine, sportin' women, like Delilah here.

[hand pats]

Wopat, you're offering everything a man could want after.

And whiskey, plenty of whiskey.

So come on, carry your happy ass up on the train with me

before the damn law sees ya.

Wait, wait.

What's wrong?

Wopat, I can't go with you this time.

I'm hanging up my guns.

No more killing for me, friend.

I gave my word to someone to, to...

What? To some woman?

No.

Well then who, goddammit?

God. I found God.

Well, best of luck to ya.

[gentle piano music]

[gentle orchestral music]

Judge ain't big on redemption?

Sadly, you're correct.

Make haste. He just wouldn't listen to me.

I told him that you'd be in my custody.

I got too much blood on my hands, padre.

Don't fret, I'll prevail.

[horses galloping]

[somber Western music]

In the name of the Lord, hear me.

[gunshots blasting]

Let, let, let me...

You ain't taking a bullet meant for me, padre.

[classic Western showdown music]

Stay here.

Wait.

Please, all of you, don't shoot.

[gunshots blasting]

[classic Western showdown music]

[gunshot blasts]

There's more men behind you.

Don't shoot. Please, come back.

I gave my word, I would only use my gun in defense.

Now you go your way, and I'll go.

And we'll walk away in peace.

[gun clicks]

[gentle music]

Hey padre, looks like you almost met your maker there.

my friend.

Sure you still wanna wager that life of yours

on seeing this thing through, huh?

Yes.

All these men died because of me.

No. They died because they didn't listen to you, padre.

My father, he was a good man.

Sadly, he let despair take him

when hard times struck our family.

In desperation, he turned into wickedness.

I would have done anything to show him

that all was not forsaken.

At the time I, I did know how.

Not until I gave my life to the Lord.

His words, his mercy.

By the time I was blessed with this wisdom,

my father had gone to his grave.

I couldn't save him.

Well padre, you, you saved me

from falling in an early grave.

You see now why you must keep your promise to me.

Well, I reckon if, if I don't,

you'll always be here to keep me noddin' straight.

I'm afraid not.

Padre, you've been shot.

Promise me that you'll stay true.

After I get you to the doctor.

No, Jericho.

I'm where the good Lord wants me to be.

I begin and end my life in, in his service.

[birds chirping]

[Jericho sighs]

[birds chirping]

[gentle harmonica music]

[door squeaks open]

[slow somber music]

Elijah.

Can I name you Elijah?

I'm Jericho.

You're Elijah.

What's my name?

Papa.

[gentle sorrowful music]

[slow somber music]

Bo.

Charlotte.

It's been a while.

It's been a few years.

How's your wife? Your family?

Well, it all hasn't went how I hoped.

Oh.

Yeah. Turns out you and her have a similar condition.

Condition?

Yep. Can't make no babies.

I'm sorry to hear it.

She was after all a, a whole woman.

Maybe she still is.

What do you mean?

Turns out I'm pregnant.

With my second.

Oh, here comes my first.

Mama, mama. Papa's been looking all over for you.

Oh, okay.

Well, congratulations.

Good day to you, Miss Charlotte.

Mrs. Charlotte.

[Charlotte chuckles]

I'll pray for you.

[gentle somber music]

[ax thudding]

What?

We have so much wood at the house.

Why are you cutting more?

For the church.

You are so devout. Are you thirsty?

Darling, I am thirsty for your kiss.

What?

I'd better get back to the kids.

Do not let your supper spoil.

I will not, ma'am.

And, don't waste all your strength.

You might need it later.

[Jericho laughs]

I love that dirty talk.

[birds chirping]

[water sloshes]

[birds chirping]

[footsteps crunching]

Legend in the flesh.

Figured it'd be harder sneaking up on the likes of you.

No sir.

Who might you be?

Who I am makes no nevermind.

Maybe you shot and killed my brother,

or my father.

None of that matters.

All that matters is I'm challenging you to a duel.

Gun against gun.

I see that look in your eye.

I had that look too.

Then I changed. I learned a new way.

A way without killing, a way of peace.

And I could show you.

I came here to kill ya, not take no preaching.

Besides, I believe there ain't nothing changed in ya.

Sounds like you're a liar.

Looking to talk your way outta this fight.

[gun clicks]

[man gasps]

You're too slow.

But you're lucky, I wasn't lying about having changed.

What're you doin'?

I'm just keeping a promise.

And all I ask in exchange is you allow me to explain.

You're crazy.

You're staring at a killer.

If you allow me to explain how I was helped,

maybe I can help you.

You look thirsty, friend.

Can I offer you a drink of water?
