[commanding horses]

[gun firing]

[gun firing continues]

NOBODY BUYS
A DRINK TONIGHT.

(Repp)
BOYS, I'D LIKE YOU ALL
TO SHAKE HANDS

WITH FAY DUTCHER,
SKULL'S NEW FOREMAN.

WILL ISHAM SENT
ALL THE WAY TO TEXAS

FOR HIM TO RAMROD OUR OUTFIT.

(Dutcher)
HAPPY TO MEET YOU FOLKS.

AND WITH MY BOSS
GETTIN' MARRIED,

THIS IS GOING TO BE
THE BIGGEST NIGHT
THIS TOWN HAS EVER SEEN.

SO CROWD AROUND,
EVERYBODY,

WE'VE GOT TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT.

THE QUESTION IS,
WHAT ARE YOU GOIN'
TO DO ABOUT IT, OWEN?

THE METHODIST MINISTER
IS HERE.

SO I GUESS
IT'LL BE A PROPER WEDDIN'.

THE WOMEN
HAVE STARTED CRYIN' ALREADY.

WHAT MAKES WOMEN
CRY AT WEDDINGS?

YEAH, WHAT?

YOU DRUNK YET, OWEN?

THE BOTTLE IS
STILL ABOUT HALF FULL.

(Prine)
OH, THEN YOU'RE SOBER. HA!

I DON'T KNOW
WHERE THEY HIDE,

OR WHERE THEY
COME FROM,

BUT THERE'S A LOT OF
PRETTY GIRLS IN TOWN.

TAKES A WEDDIN'
TO BRING 'EM OUT.

MAYBE IT'S HOPE.

ANTELOPE ARE RUNNING
PRETTY HEAVY

OVER IN FREMONT BASIN.
GUESS IT'S ABOUT TIME

I HAD ANOTHER LOOK
AT THAT COUNTRY.

THAT'S YOUR TROUBLE.

ALWAYS TAKING ANOTHER LOOK
AT A PIECE OF COUNTRY.

JUST FIDDLE-FOOTED.

SMELLIN' THE WIND
FOR SCENT.

SO YOU LOSE YOUR GIRL.

TO A MAN LIKE
WILL ISHAM.

NOW...

THE BOTTLE'S EMPTY.
LET'S TAKE A WALK.

(Prine)
WHAT FOR?

YOU'RE ALWAYS
TAKIN' A WALK. WHY?

I'M TIRED OF
LISTENING TO
LONG SPEECHES.

I AIN'T SAID NOTHIN',
BUT I WILL.

OWEN, YOU
AND PRINE AND ME

ARE JUST SMALL RANCHERS.

GOOD NEIGHBORS
NEVER PAID LIKE ISHAM,

BUT THAT'S NO REASON
WHY WE SHOULD ALWAYS
LET HIM HAVE HIS OWN WAY.

HE IS.

IF LAURE BIDWELL
WAS MY GIRL...

(Croker)
IT'S SKULL'S TREAT.

I'LL PAY
FOR MY DRINKS.

ME, TOO.

MIKE AND IKE,
THEY TALK ALIKE.

WHAT HAVE YOU FELLAS
GOT AGAINST SKULL RANCH?

SO YOU'RE
FAY DUTCHER?

THEY SURE DRESS 'EM
FANCY IN TEXAS.

I SAID WHAT HAVE
YOU FELLAS

GOT AGAINST
DRINKIN' ON SKULL?

THESE ARE
THE VIRD BOYS,

JUKE AND GEORGE.

WE WORK
FOR OWEN MERRITT.

AND HE SITS
RIGHT OVER THERE.

VIRD, HUH?
THAT EXPLAINS IT.

(George)
IT DON'T EXPLAIN NOTHIN'!

WILL ISHAM DIDN'T HAVE
TO SEND CLEAN TO TEXAS

FOR JUST
A RANCH FOREMAN.

WHAT ARE YOU,
A PROFESSIONAL GUN-HAND?

ME? A GUN-HAND?

I'M A CATTLEMAN, SIR.

I JUST CARRY
THIS THING

'CAUSE MY OLD MOTHER THOUGHT
IT LOOKED PRETTY ON ME.

YEAH? IT WAS PLENTY
FANCY SHOOTIN' I SAW

THE WAY YOU
KNOCKED OFF THAT BOTTLE.

JUST LUCK,
PLAIN LUCK.

I COULDN'T SHOOT MY WAY
OUT OF A CHICKEN COOP.

[gun fires]

LUCKY AGAIN. THIS MUST BE
MY LUCKY NIGHT.

JUKE, GEORGE.

(Isham)
OWEN.

I'M GLAD
TO SEE YOU

BECAUSE I WANT
A WORD WITH YOU.

YOU'VE GOT THE FLOOR.

I WANT TO KNOW
HOW YOU TAKE THIS MARRIAGE.

IF THERE'S GOING TO
BE TROUBLE BETWEEN US,

I'D LIKE
TO KNOW IT NOW.

WILL,
I CONGRATULATE YOU.

YOU'RE SURE?

THE LUCK IS YOURS.
NO COMPLAINTS.

I WANT THE TRUTH

AND I WANT EVERYBODY
IN THIS ROOM TO HEAR IT.

I WON'T HAVE
RUMORS GOING AROUND.

I SAID
I WISH YOU LUCK.

BETTER LET IT GO
AT THAT.

LET'S DRINK ON THAT.

GENTLEMEN,
THIS IS ON SKULL.

TO THE FUTURE
MRS. ISHAM.

HER HEALTH AND YOURS,
WILL.

YOU MAY EXCUSE ME,

BUT I DON'T WISH TO APPEAR
BEFORE THE BISHOP

WITH LIQUOR ON ME.

CROKER, I'M BUYING
THE HOUSE

FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT.

MR. DUTCHER ALREADY
SET 'EM UP AT YOUR EXPENSE.

IT'S VERY GENEROUS OF YOU.

GOOD NIGHT.

[men chattering]

WELL, WELL,
SO YOU'RE OWEN MERRITT.

GENTLEMAN,
PLEASURE MEETIN' YOU.

KIND OF OUR
NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR.

NOT QUITE
NEXT DOOR.

MY RANCH IS
IN BETWEEN.

IS THAT SO?

[slurring]
WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL.
LOOK AT THE GROOMWHAT AIN'T
GOING TO BE!

YOU KNOW LAURE'S
OLD MAN IS OUT THERE

BRAGGIN' ABOUT
HIS SON-IN-LAW ALREADY.

YOU KNOW,
SHE'LL SEE

THAT THE OLD COOT
IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

(Croker)
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

HE'S DRUNK, OWEN.

IT'S TALK I DON'T
LIKE TO HEAR

FROM A DRUNK
OR FROM ANYBODY ELSE.

YOU'RE LIKELY TO HEAR
MORE THAN THAT.

TAKE IT EASY.

THIS IS MY JOB.

ON YOUR FEET, BALE.

NOW GET GOIN'.

HEAD BACK
TO THE RANCH.

WHAT DID I DO?

GET!

I HATE TO SEE
A GENT FORGET HIS MANNERS.

IT DOES SOMETHING
TO ME.

I MUST APOLOGIZE
FOR MY MEN, NEIGHBOR.

HAVE A DRINK?

NO, THANKS.

(Dutcher)
THIS IS WILL ISHAM'S NIGHT,

SO DRINK UP FOLKS.

[all chattering]

WILL ISHAM HAD A REASON
FOR BUYING YOU A DRINK

IN FRONT OF
THAT CROWD.

PEACE AND GOOD WILL.

GOOD WILL,
MY FAT AUNT'S FOOT.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
TAKEN THAT DRINK.

IT TIES YOUR HANDS.

HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA
LET ISHAM CROWD YOU?EXCUSE ME,
GENTLEMEN.

LOOK, THAT'S LAURE BIDWELL'S
WEDDING BOUQUET.

NOW IF I WAS YOU
AND YOU WAS ME,

I'D MOSEY UP
'EM STAIRS.

AND IF I WAS YOU
AND YOU WAS ME,

I'D GET A RIG
AND DRIVE AROUND
TO THE BACK

AND WAIT THERE
FOR BOTH OF US.

BUT I'M NOT YOU
AND YOU'RE NOT ME.

OWEN, WHEN I SAW
HER EARLIER,

SHE WASN'T SMILING.

I TELL YOU LAURE'S HEART'S
NOT IN THIS WEDDIN'.

MAYBE.
BUT HER MIND'S MADE UP.

I'LL MEET YOU
AT THE HORSES IN 5 MINUTES

AND THEN WE'LL
LEAVE THIS TOWN.

[people chattering]

CLAGG, WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF OWEN MERRITT?

I DON'T LIKE HIM.
I NEVER HAVE.

FROM WHAT I HEAR,
YOU DON'T LIKE
MUCH OF ANYBODY,

AND NOBODY LIKES
YOU EITHER.

NOT WORTH THE POWDER
TO BLOW YOU APART.

NOBODY IN 500 MILES
WOULD STOP LONG ENOUGH

TO PICK UP THE PIECES.

STILL,
I MIGHT HAVE USE

FOR A LONE WOLF
LIKE YOU NOW AND THEN.

JUST IN CASE
I DON'T GET AROUND

TO DOING MY OWN CHORES.

NAN.

OWEN!

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO LAURE
IF SHE'LL SEE ME.

SHE'LL SEE YOU.

BUT ARE YOU SURE
YOU WANT HER TO?

WHY NOT?

ALL RIGHT, OWEN.

LAURE, ARE YOU SURE
IT'S GOT TO BE THIS WAY?

IS THAT ALL
YOU CAME TO SAY?

IT'S ENOUGH,
ISN'T IT?

YOU'RE CONDEMNING ME.

NO.

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT MADE
THE CHOICE, NOT ME.

ALL I WANT TO KNOW
IS IF YOU'RE SURE.

I'VE GOT TO BE SURE,
HAVEN'T I?

[sighs]

THEN I--I WISH YOU
LUCK AND SO LONG.

WAIT.

YOU'RE COMING
TO THE WEDDING?

NO.

PLEASE.

TO MAKE
THE RECORD COMPLETE?

IS IT-- IS IT
SO HARD TO BELIEVE

THAT I CAN STILL
TAKE AN INTEREST IN YOU?

DON'T YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT YET?

I GUESS I DO.

YOU'RE AN AMBITIOUS GIRL,
LAURE.

YOU SET YOUR MIND
ON CERTAIN THINGS LONG AGO.

I COULDN'T
BREAK UP THAT.

I WAS AMBITIOUS
FOR BOTH OF US.

BUT THERE WAS
A RESTLESSNESS IN YOU,

I COULDN'T FIGHT
ANY LONGER.

I GOT TIRED OF WAITING.

I DON'T BLAME YOU.

YOU ALWAYS FIGURED

YOU COULD MAKE YOUR MIND
PULL YOUR HEART ALONG.

I HOPE YOU CAN.

I KNOW
WHAT I'M DOING, OWEN.

WE ALWAYS ARGUED
TOO MUCH.

THAT WAS
ONE OF OUR FAULTS.

GOODNIGHT, OWEN.

GOODBYE.

IT'S TIME TO GO.

I'M READY.

OWEN, YOU'RE
A PUTTY-HEADED FOOL.

SHUT UP.

QUITE A PARTY, BOSS.

FOR THIS OCCASION.

HERE'S TO YOU
AND YOUR BRIDE.

WHY, THANK YOU, JUDGE.

♪[music playing]

CONGRATULATIONS.

BEST OF LUCK.

(man)
MUCH HAPPINESS.

(Judge)
CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU, JUDGE.
THANK YOU.

THERE'S ENOUGH
CHAMPAGNE WATER THERE
TO DROWN A HORSE.

MR. ISHAM HAD IT SHIPPED
ALL THE WAY
FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

WON'T YOU HAVE SOME?

I DON'T DRINK.

(Clagg)
NAN.

NAN.

CAN I SEE YOU HOME
FROM THE PARTY?

ANOTHER NIGHT.

HAVE YOU GOT A DATE?

NO, BUT AFTER HELPING LAURE
WITH HER WEDDING ALL DAY,

I'M ABOUT RUN DOWN.

I WOULDN'T BE GOOD COMPANY
FOR ANYONE.

OH, I WOULDN'T CARE.

WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, NAN?

I HOPE WE'LL ALWAYS
BE FRIENDS, HUGH.

OH, YOU DON'T FOOL ME.

WHY DON'T YOU
EVER SMILE AT ME, NAN?

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I
COME OUT OF THE HILLS

AND STAND NEAR YOUR CABIN
AND WATCH THE LIGHT.

SOMETIMES I COME CLOSE
TO THE DOOR.

I'LL TELL YOU, NAN,
YOU DON'T KNOW

WHAT I FEEL INSIDE.
I'D TEAR OFF MY ARMS,

I'D BRING SPRINGROCK
DOWN TO ASHES FOR YOU

IF YOU WANTED IT.
THERE ISN'T ANYTHING

I WOULDN'T DO FOR YOU,
ANYTHING.

HUGH.

ANYTHING.

HUGH.

ALL RIGHT, THEN.

THERE'S THE DANCE
ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

YES. YES,
I'LL CALL FOR YOU.

NOW,
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.

WE ISHAMS ARE GOIN' TO
SHOW YOU ALL

JUST WHAT
LUXURY REALLY IS.

WE'RE GOING TO OPEN
THE DOORS OF SKULL

AND ASK YOU ALL
TO COME IN AND EAT AND DRINK

THE FINEST FOOD AND LIQUOR
THAT MONEY CAN BUY.

THAT'S A VERY HOSPITABLE
PROPOSAL, DAD.

I'M SURE MY HUSBAND
WOULD BE HAPPY TO SECOND IT.

WHY, OF COURSE.

CONGRATULATIONS
AGAIN.

I LOST ME A DAUGHTER,
BUT I GOT ME A SON.

DAD, YOU MUST BE TIRED.

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE
TO GO TO YOUR ROOM?

EXCUSE US, PLEASE.

LANKERSHIM.

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU
IN THE STUDY, HMM?

COME OUTSIDE.

WELL, WHAT FOR?

[people clapping]

GET ON YOUR HORSE
AND LEAVE.

NOW LOOKIE HERE.

YOU LOOKIE HERE.

I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE YOU
PAN-HANDLING OFF OF SKULL.YOU--YOU--YOU'D
SEND ME AWAY?

MY OWN DAUGHTER?

I'M NOW
WILL ISHAM'S WIFE.

AND YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO KEEP ME FROM
HAVING THE RESPECT

AND DIGNITY THAT
HE EXPECTS ME TO HAVE.

AFTER ALL
I'VE DONE FOR YOU.

THE WAY I RAISED YOU.

THE WAY YOU RAISED ME!

I SAW MOTHER WORK
LIKE A HORSE

TO KEEP US ALIVE.

I SAW HER DIE
OUT OF SHAME MOSTLY.

WELL, WHAT'LL I DO,
DAUGHTER?

WHERE'LL I GO?

GO BACK SOUTH
WHERE YOU USED TO LIVE.

YOU WON'T STARVE.
I'LL SEND YOU MONEY,

BUT YOU'VE GOT
TO STAY AWAY FROM SKULL

AND FROM WILL ISHAM.

I'VE GOT A CHANCE
TO BE SOMETHING

THE BIDWELLS
NEVER WERE.

AND YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO RUIN IT.

GOODBYE, DAD.

[people chattering]

[door closing]

FAY, WOULD YOU
LIKE SOME BRANDY?

I DON'T DRINK.

I'M GOING TO BUY
YOUR RANCH TONIGHT.

YOU AIMING TO
THREATEN ME, WILL?

IF YOU ARE,
I'M TOO GROWN UP TO SCARE.

[chuckles]

I'M GOING TO MAKE IT
SO WORTHWHILE,

YOU CAN'T AFFORD
NOT TO SELL.

I'LL GIVE YOU
$50.000 CASH.

HUH!
IT AIN'T WORTH THAT.

THERE'S A SMALL LAKE,
A WATER HOLE,

THAT STRADDLES
YOUR LAND AND MINE.

WELL, WHAT OF IT?

THERE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH WATER
THERE FOR BOTH OUR HERDS.

YOU DON'T GET THE IDEA.

I'D ONLY OWN HALF A LAKE.

I NEVER OWN HALF OF ANYTHING,
LANKERSHIM,

I OWN IT ALL.
LOCK, STOCK AND BARREL.

THAT GOES FOR ANYTHING.

WHATEVER I HAVE
IS MINE AND MINE ALONE.

I'LL SHARE WITH NO ONE.

YOU'RE A STRANGE MAN
TO FIGURE, WILL,

BUT I RECKON
YOU CAN'T BE BEAT.

I'LL SELL.

IF A MAN LIKE OWEN MERRITT
WOULDN'T FIGHT

FOR WHAT BELONGED TO HIM,

I RECKON I'M TOO OLD TO TRY.

WHAT BELONGED TO HIM, FAY?

FAY, YOU'RE MY GUEST
AND I'LL SAY NOTHING.

BUT WHEN YOU RIDE
OFF SKULL TONIGHT,

DON'T EVER COME BACK
ON MY LAND AGAIN.

I'LL PICK UP THE PAPERS
AT THE BANK IN THE MORNING

AND GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY.

WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOUR FATHER?

HE'S GOING AWAY
ON A TRIP.

HE WON'T BE BACK
TO SKULL.

YOU'RE A SMART WOMAN, LAURE.

I WAS VERY PLEASED.
YOU'VE GOT TACT.

YOU KNOW HOW TO
HANDLE PEOPLE

AND MAKE 'EM
FEEL GOOD.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S WHAT
YOU WANT.

WHAT IS IT
YOU WANT, LAURE?

NOTHING MORE
THAN I'M GETTING NOW.

YOU KNOW MY FAMILY,
WHERE I CAME FROM.

I'M GRATEFUL TO YOU,
WILL.

AND I'LL NEVER LET
YOU DOWN

ON MY PART OF THE BARGAIN,
NOT EVER. REMEMBER THAT.I'LL PLAY THE PART
YOU WANT ME TO PLAY.

IS IT NOTHING MORE THAN
A BARGAIN WITH YOU, LAURE?

NOTHING MORE?

DID I EVER
GIVE YOU THE IMPRESSION

IT WOULD BE OTHERWISE?

NO. I'LL GIVE YOU CREDIT.
YOU DIDN'T.

GOODNIGHT, LAURE.

GOODNIGHT, WILL.

HELP YOURSELF
TO THE WHISKEY.

THANKS, BOSS.

HERE'S TO YOU.

WELL,
WHAT ABOUT IT?

SKULL IS NOW UP
AGAINST OWEN MERRITT'S LINE.

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THAT?

IN SPITE OF WHAT
HE SAID TONIGHT,

YOU DON'T TRUST MERRITT
WORTH A HOOT, DO YOU?

NO.
AND I NEVER WILL.

WELL, IN THAT CASE,
I'D BETTER GET ON WITH
WHAT I CAME HERE FOR.

BECAUSE THE LONGER
I PUT IT OFF,

THE LONGER HE'LL BE
STANDING ON THOSE STAIRS

BETWEEN YOU AND HER.

WHO WERE THEY, OWEN,
DO YOU KNOW?

COULDN'T TELL.

JUKE KNEW.

YOU GOT
NOTHIN' TO SAY, OWEN?

THERE'S ONLY ONE BUNCH
THAT HAD A REASON TO DO THIS.

IF SKULL GOT JUKE,
THEY DID IT TO GET ME.

THEY KNEW
HOW CLOSE WE WERE.

THEN WAKE UP.

QUIT MOONIN'

(Dutcher)
WELL, WELL, MR. MERRITT.

COME IN, COME IN.
WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU.

THESE BOYS WERE
JUST GETTIN' SET

FOR A LITTLE CELEBRATION
AFTER WHAT THEY DID TONIGHT.

I WAS ABOUT TO OBLIGE 'EM
WITH SOME GOOD CLEAN FUN,

BUT I DON'T THINK
THEY LIKE THE ODDS NOW.

TELL YOU WHAT, OWEN,

YOU AND ME DON'T WANT
TO SPOIL ANYTHING.

SO LETS YOU AND ME
GO DOWN THE STREET

AND HAVE A DRINK.

(Owen)
GEORGE AND I'LL GO
DOWN THE STREET

AND HAVE A DRINK.

COME ON, GEORGE.

OH, DON'T BE
LIKE THAT, OWEN.

MY MOTTO IS NEVER
TO NEVER INTERFERE

WHEN A MAN'S OUT
FOR SOME GOOD, CLEAN FUN
AND ENJOYMENT.

NO! JUST SHOOT HIM
IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD

LIKE YOU GOT
MY BROTHER, JUKE.

SKULL HANDS
WOULDN'T SHOOT ANYBODY.

THEY'RE CATTLEMEN
LIKE MR. DUTCHER.

HE COULDN'T SHOOT HIS WAY
OUT OF A CHICKEN COOP.

[chuckling]

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF HIS TALK.
WHAT'S IT GONNA BE, FAY?

YEAH, WHAT?

LET'S FIND OUT.

YOU'RE ALL
STANDIN' AROUND HERE

BRACED FOR A FIGHT.

WHICH ONE OF YOU
WAS GOING TO HANDLE GEORGE

OR WAS IT
THE WHOLE BUNCH OF YOU?

SURE THE WHOLE BUNCH.
SKULL STYLE!

A WOLF PACK

ALL RIGHT, MEN,
SCRATCH FOR IT!

KILLED A POOR KID

HELLO, LAURE.

HELLO, OWEN.

SHE WANTS TO FIT
MY NEW DRESS.

WILL.

I WANT A WORD
WITH YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU
SO JUMPY ABOUT?

DO YOU WANT
TROUBLE WITH ME?

I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE
WITH YOU.

BUT FROM NOW ON YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH ME.

IS THAT AN OFFER,
OWEN?

YEAH, IT'S AN OFFER.

MERRITT.

I'LL TELL YOU
SOMETHING.

I'VE NEVER LIKED YOU,
YOUR MANNERS OR YOUR STYLE.

I'M THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING
AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS.

WHAT BELONGS TO ME IS MINE,
ENTIRELY MINE.

DO YOU HEAR?
SO STAY AWAY.

STAY AWAY FROM EVERYTHING
THAT BELONGS TO ME!

JUST MAKE SURE
THAT YOU HANG ON

TO WHAT BELONGS TO YOU.

[hooves pounding]

[hooves clomping]

ONE HORSE IS COMIN'.

BETTER DROP
THAT CIGARETTE.

THE HOUSE IS
ALL LIT UP.

YOU'RE
PRETTY JUMPY.

YEAH.
YEAH, I AM.

I FEEL IT.

CLOSE.

LIKE A MAN FEELS
WHEN A GUN'S POINTING AT HIM

EVEN WHEN HE
CAN'T SEE IT.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN
ANYTHING TONIGHT, GEORGE.

SURE.

NOT A VERY GOOD PLACE
FOR YOU TO BE, LAURE.

I KNOW.
I HAD TO SEE YOU.

MAY I SIT DOWN?

PLEASE DO.

OWEN, WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING?

THINGS I SHOULDN'T.

I WAS AFRAID
YOU WOULD.

AND AFRAID
YOU WOULDN'T, TOO.

WHAT WAS IT
YOU CAME HERE TO SAY?

IT'S MY HUSBAND.

HIS PRIDE
IS TERRIBLY STRONG.

IT MAKES HIM WONDER

IF I STILL FEEL
ABOUT YOU

AS I ONCE DID.

DO YOU?

OWEN,
SKULL'S TOO BIG,

TOO BIG FOR YOU
TO FIGHT ALONE.

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE
TO DO.

SELL OUT TO WILL.
LEAVE THE COUNTRY.

NO, LAURE.

I THOUGHT I COULD
MAKE YOU SEE IT.

YOU'VE DOUBTED

THAT I COULD MAKE MY MIND
PULL MY HEART ALONG.

YOU'RE RIGHT,
OWEN, I CAN'T.

I'M SORRY.

[sighs]

SOMETIMES AMBITION
CAN BE BAD FOR PEOPLE.

IT CAN HURT THEM
SO MUCH.

NOW THERE MAY BE
MORE BLOODSHED.

ALL BECAUSE OF ME.

YOU SAY YOU
WON'T RUN AWAY, OWEN.

BUT IF I BREAK
MY BARGAIN WITH WILL

AND RUN AWAY WITH YOU,
THEN WOULD YOU LEAVE?

YOU'D GO
THAT FAR FOR ME?

I WOULD.

I'LL BE HERE
TOMORROW NIGHT.

[knocking on door]

(Owen)
GEORGE. GEORGE!

HAVE YOU SEEN GEORGE?

NO, HE'S NOT HERE.

HE DON'T FEEL SLEEP.

HE GOING OUT
TO SEE THE CATTLE.

OH.

HE TOLD ME
NOT TO TELL.

YEAH?

YES.

I'D BETTER GO
LOOK FOR HIM.

EVERYBODY GO AWAY.
I HAVE TO STAY HERE.

I DON'T LIKE
THIS PLACE.

SPOOKY, CHARLEY?

LIKE A LONG TIME AGO
WHEN CHIEF EGAN,

HE COME THROUGH
WITH HIS GUERRILLAS.

I HAD A BAD FEELINGS
LIKE I HAVE NOW.

I HEAR
THE TREES TALK.

I HEAR THE WATER TALKS.

IT'S NOT GOOD.

KEEP AWAY FROM
THAT VANILLA EXTRACT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

[hooves pounding]

BLOW OUT THAT LIGHT.

4 HORSES.

[glass breaking]

[gun firing]

[bullet ricocheting]

[hooves pounding]

(Charley)
LOOK.

GEORGE.

GEORGE,
WHO DID IT?

GEORGE,
WHO DID IT?

BAD FEELINGS
LIKE OLD DAYS.

RISE AND SHINE,
YOU LUNKHEAD.

[door closes]

WHY DON'T YOU
SHOOT?

I WAS JUST THINKING, CHARLEY,
WHEN I PULL THIS TRIGGER,

I'LL BE SHOOTING
CHRISTMAS CREEK RANCH

RIGHT OUT FROM
UNDER ME.

IT'LL START
A RUN AND JUMP FIGHT.

WELL, SITTING ON MY PORCH
NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

WAS GETTING
DULL ANYWAY.

[gun firing]

WHAT ARE YOU
SHOOTING AT

THIS HOUR OF THE MORNING
ALL BY YOURSELF?

[gun firing]

[gun firing]

WHAT ARE YOU
TRYING TO DO?

IS THIS A JOKE?

NO JOKE, REPP.

YOU KNOW I CAN SHOOT
STRAIGHTER THAN THAT.

SOMEONE FROM SKULL
GOT ONE OF MY MEN LAST NIGHT.

WHO WAS IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

[gun firing]

WHO WAS IT, REPP?

YOU'RE WRONG, MERRITT.

NONE OF US
SHOT GEORGE VIRD.

REPP, HOW DID YOU KNOW
IT WAS VIRD?

[gun firing]

I JUST THOUGHT THAT--

THINK FASTER, REPP.

SEND HIM OUT
OR I'LL SHOOT TO KILL.

AH, MERRITT.
MERRITT, LISTEN, LISTEN!

NO TIME FOR TALK.

[gun firing]

LOOK.

YOU CAN'T FIGHT
THE WHOLE ARMY.

CHARLEY, GET WORD
TO MRS. ISHAM

THAT I WON'T BE AROUND
FOR A FEW DAYS.

[gun firing]

THAT MERRITT,
HE JUST SHOT US ALL UP.

HE KNOWS ABOUT
GEORGE VIRD, TOO.

WELL, DUTCHER,

ARE YOU GONNA LET HIM
GET AWAY WITH THIS?

[knocking on door]

SHOOT.

[guns firing]

MUCH SHOOTING UP TO
YOUNG MERRITT RANCHO.

[guns firing]

WILL YOU SADDLE
MY HORSE, PLEASE?

YES.

[horses neighing]

[horses neighing]

SPREAD OUT.
YOU'VE GOTTA FIND HIM.

[gun firing]

[glass breaking]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

PAYIN' HIM BACK

FOR WHAT THEY DID TO
OUR LINE CABIN THIS MORNING.

GET OUT.

WHY DON'T YOU
GROW UP?

OH, JUST WHEN I
WAS HAVIN' A LITTLE FUN!

THIS IS NO TIME
FOR KID'S GAMES.

SOMEONE IS COMING.

YOU AND
YOUR SHOOTIN'.

OWEN!

(Owen)
NAN, OVER HERE!
OVER HERE, NAN!

[horse neighing]

THIS MAY STING.

HERE, PUT SOME
INSIDE OF YOU, TOO.

YOU'LL HATE THAT.

[coughs]

FEEL BETTER?

MMM-HMM.

HMM.

MY FAVORITE PAIR.

OWEN, WHY DON'T YOU
GO BACK TO YOUR PLACE TONIGHT?

I GOT TO THINKIN'

A MAN CAN'T RUN
ALL THE TIME.

HE HAS TO FIGHT
SOONER OR LATER.

NAN,
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING,

BUT I'VE GOT TO
GET OUT OF HERE

OR YOU'LL BE
IN A MESS OF TROUBLE.

YOU CAN'T.

COME ON NOW.

SIT BACK. YOU'VE LOST
A LOT OF BLOOD.

[sighs]

THAT'S BETTER.

STOP TRYING TO BE A HERO
AND GET SOME REST.

[barking]

HITCH UP
THE BUCKBOARD.

I'M TAKING MISS NAN
TO THE DANCE.

NAN!

HELLO, NAN.

I TOLD YOU,
HITCH UP THE BUCKBOARD.

NO BUCKBOARD.

NAN.
NO NAN.

WE HAD A DATE FOR
THE DANCE TONIGHT.

SHE COULDN'T HAVE FORGOT.

I'VE BEEN COUNTING ON IT
ALL WEEK. SHE PROMISED.

BANDAGES.

OWEN MERRITT WAS
SHOT LAST NIGHT.

HE CAME HERE,
DIDN'T HE?

SHE'S GONE OFF
WITH HIM.

I DIDN'T ASK FOR MUCH.

JUST TO TAKE HER
TO A DANCE

AND BE WITH HER
ONCE IN A WHILE.

MERRITT DOESN'T LOVE HER.

BUT IT DON'T MAKE
NO DIFFERENCE TO HER.

SHE'D RUN OFF WITH HIM.
SHE'D DO ANYTHING HE ASKS.

I OUGHT TO KILL BOTH OF 'EM.

WHERE ARE THEY?

WHERE ARE THEY?

WHERE ARE THEY?

I'LL FIND 'EM.
I'LL FINE 'EM.

I'LL FIND 'EM.

YOU STAY HERE
AND MAKE SURE MRS. ISHAM

DOESN'T LEAVE
THE HOUSE.

WE'RE READY TO START
AFTER MERRITT, MR. ISHAM.

[birds chirping]

WILL,

I'VE NEVER SEEN
IN YOU

THE DESIRE TO DESTROY,
TO KILL.

HAVE I KILLED?

YOUR MEN HAVE.
YOU HIRED THEM AND YOU,

YOU SUPPORTED THEM.

OWEN MERRITT
KILLED ONE OF MY MEN

AND I SUPPOSE
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

IF YOU'D HAVE BEEN
IN HIS PLACE,

WHAT WOULD YOU
HAVE DONE?

I'M NOT IN HIS PLACE.

SUPPOSE YOU'D KNOWN
BEFORE OUR MARRIAGE

THAT I MEANT
TO GO AFTER MERRITT.

WOULD YOU HAVE
MARRIED ME?

WHAT A BRUTAL QUESTION.

THANKS
FOR THE COMPLIMENT.

NOW REMEMBER,
WATCH HER LIKE I TOLD YOU.

YOU DON'T LIKE
COFFEE?

[laughing]

I KNOW THIS STUFF
WAS GOOD FOR SOMETHING.

LOOK. BOOT POLISH.

HEY, CHARLEY,
YOU BEEN AROUND THIS COUNTRY

A THOUSAND YEARS OR SO.

WHAT KIND OF SCOUT
ARE YOU?

HOW GOOD ARE YOU
AT TRACKIN'?

MY FATHER WAS GOOD.

OH, BUT YOUR FATHER'S DEAD.

WHAT'S HE GOT
TO DO WITH IT?

I AM MUCH BETTER.

WELL, THEN, GET ON THAT TRAIL
AND FIND OWEN MERRITT FAST.

YOU MEN SEE ANYTHING
OF A BUCKBOARD
GOIN' BY HERE?

YEAH.

WHICH WAY
THEY GO?

THEY WENT UP
INTO THE MOUNTAINS.

HOW LONG AGO?

3 DAYS AGO.

THANK YOU.

[birds chirping]

WHO'S THAT?

OH, MRS. ISHAM!

YOU GOTTA STAY HERE,
MRS. ISHAM.

GET AWAY, REPP.

SORRY, BUT I CAN'T.

GET OUT OF MY WAY.

OH, PUT THAT SILLY
LITTLE THING AWAY.

REPP, I'VE USED A GUN
FOR YEARS

AND I COULD TEAR
YOUR COLLARBONE
TO PIECES

BEFORE YOU MOVED.

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THIS,
MA'AM.

TAKE OFF
YOUR HAT.

WALK IN FRONT OF ME.

AND RUN WHEN I
TELL YOU TO RUN.

WELL, I AIN'T TAKIN' ORDERS
FROM NO LADY.

I'M NOT A LADY,
REPP.

I'M THE BIDWELL GIRL

AND I WAS RAISED
AMONG HARDER MEN

THAN YOU THINK
YOU ARE.

NOW, GET
IN FRONT OF ME.

AND IF YOU STOP
BEFORE I TELL YOU TO,

I'LL SHOOT YOU.
COME ON.

[branches rustling]

[branch creaks]

MAYBE WE CAN BE
LEAVING HERE SOON.

I COULD USE A RAZOR,
IF I HAD ONE.

SOUNDS LIKE A COYOTE
GOIN' THROUGH DRY BRUSH.

[laughs]

IT'S GOOD
TO HEAR YOU LAUGH.

THERE HASN'T BEEN
MUCH TO LAUGH ABOUT.

YEAH.

WISH I COULD THANK
YOUR GRANDFATHER

FOR THIS HIDEOUT.

HE BUILT IT WHEN THEY
FIRST CAME TO THIS COUNTRY.IT WAS A PLACE OF SAFETY
AGAINST INDIAN RAIDS.

I'LL TAKE THE INDIANS
TO SKULL ANY DAY.

OWEN, WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO NOW?

THE PROBLEM
HASN'T CHANGED.

SO YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO RUN.

DO YOU WANT ME TO?

OH, NO. EVEN IF I DID,
YOU WOULDN'T.

I KNOW YOU TOO WELL
FOR THAT.

YOU'LL STAY
AND FIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU'LL DO IT,

BUT YOU'LL DO IT
SOMEHOW.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

BY NOW, EVERYBODY
MUST KNOW YOU'RE WITH ME.

I DON'T CARE.
IT'S BEEN WORTH IT.

I NEVER HAD A MAN
TO BOSS BEFORE.

NAN,
WHATEVER HAPPENS,

THE PAST FEW DAYS
BALANCE FOR EVERYTHING.

THAT'S THE WAY
I FEEL.

BETTER GET
THESE DISHES WASHED.

(Clagg)
CHEAP WOMAN.

CHEAP WOMAN.
DON'T TRY IT, MERRITT.

I OUGHT TO
SMASH YOUR FACE IN,

RUNNIN' OFF WITH
THIS FIDDLE-FOOT LIKE THAT.

WHAT'S ACHIN' YOU,
CLAGG?

GET AWAY
FROM THAT GUN, NAN.

GET BACK
OVER THERE.

PUT YOUR HANDS
BEHIND YOU, BOTH OF YOU.

GO ON,
GET BACK OVER THERE.

NOT TOO CLOSE TOGETHER.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY?

MAYBE I HAVE.

MERRITT, YOU GET EVERYTHING
YOUR OWN WAY.

YOU COULD HAVE LAURE ISHAM
BY LIFTING YOUR FINGER

IF YOU WANTED
AND NOW NAN.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN YOU AND ME?

I'D CLAW DOWN THE HILLS FOR
A KIND LOOK FROM THAT GIRL,

BUT I'D NEVER GET IT,
NOT IN A THOUSAND YEARS.

YOU'D CHEAT FOR THIS MAN.

(Clagg)
DO JUST WHAT HE WANTED.

PULL UP, CLAGG,
PULL UP.

PULL UP.
PULL UP.

YOU TWO
ARE FOOLIN' YOURSELVES.

AND I'M GOING TO END IT.

[grunting]

[gasping]

NO, NO.

I COULD KILL HIM!

I KNOW.

IT'S WHAT HE SAID.
WHAT HE SAID ABOUT YOU.BUT IT'S WRONG.

I DON'T WANT YOU
TO KILL ANYBODY.

[panting]

LET'S GET STARTED.

SHE GOT AWAY?

BUT I TOLD YOU
NOT TO LET HER OUT OF--

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME SHE HAD
A GUN AND KNEW HOW TO USE IT.

LOOK AT THAT.

AND THAT AIN'T ALL.
MY FEET.

WHERE'D SHE GO?

I DON'T KNOW,
BUT SHE SURE WENT FAST.

[hooves pounding]

(Clagg)
BEEN LOOKIN' FOR YOU.

(Dutcher)
LOOKS LIKE YOU MET UP
WITH A MOUNTAIN LION. MAYBE 2.

ARE YOU STILL
LOOKING FOR MERRITT?

OH, SO THAT'S IT.
HE CHEWED YOU UP.

WHERE IS MERRITT?

HOLED UP
IN THE OLD HIDEOUT

IN ROCK CANYON
AT THE FALLS.

HE'S PROBABLY GONE BY NOW,
BUT HE'LL BE EASY TO TRAIL.

HE'S GOT A WOMAN WITH HIM.

WHAT WOMAN, CLAGG?

WHAT WOMAN?
WHO DO YOU THINK?

THE ONE WOMAN OF THIS COUNTRY
WHO'LL DOUBLE-CROSS
HER OWN SOUL

TO SAVE MERRITT'S LIFE.

ISHAM.

YOU'RE TOO FREE
WITH YOUR TONGUE, CLAGG.

NO MAN TALKS
ABOUT MY WIFE.

[groaning]

IT ISN'T THE WOMAN
YOU WERE THINKING OF.

IT WASN'T YOUR WIFE.

WELL, DON'T JUST STAND THERE.
GET YOUR HORSES.

WE'RE GOING
TO ROCK CANYON.

BOURKE, CHARLEY!

OWEN!

BOSS, I BRING
THE HORSE FOR YOU.

GOOD.

YOU KNOW, OWEN,
WITH THE SKULL OUTFIT

HUNTING THE HILLS,
THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME

TO GO TO ISHAM'S RANCH
AND TAKE IT APART.

NO.

'CAUSE LAURE'S THERE?

IT'D SERVE ISHAM RIGHT
IF YOU WALKED IN

AND TOOK HER AWAY
FROM HIM WHILE HE'S GONE.

YOU COULD DO IT,
YOU KNOW.

I HAVE
OTHER PLANS.

OWEN, YOU WON'T BE
NEEDING ME ANYMORE.

I'M GOING HOME.

NAN, WAIT!

GOODBYE, EVERYBODY.
GOOD LUCK, OWEN.

NAN, I WANT TO
TALK TO YOU.

WELL, I'LL BE DOGGONE.

MAYBE THE WIND'S
CHANGING.

MAYBE IT'S GOING TO BLOW
IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.

WELL, IF WE'RE GONNA
TAKE ON SKULL

IN A RUN AND JUMP FIGHT--

NOT THAT KIND
OF A FIGHT.

THERE'LL NEVER BE
PEACE THAT WAY.

PEACE? THE ONLY KIND OF
PEACE YOU'LL EVER GET

FROM ISHAM IS
REST IN PEACE.

SHOOTING'S BETTER.
AND SKULL'S SO BIG--

SO IS A STEER BIG.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE
GONNA EAT HIM,

YOU FIRST HAVE TO CUT HIM UP
IN LITTLE PIECES.

I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU WANT, MR. ISHAM.

WE'VE BEEN IN THE SADDLE
FOR 6 HOURS

AND WE'RE GONNA STOP
AND STRETCH OUR LEGS.

WE CAN'T STOP NOW
WHEN WE MAY BE CLOSE.

YOU KNOW, MR. ISHAM,
WHEN YOU'RE HUNTING A MAN

THAT CAN SHOOT
LIKE OWEN MERRITT,

GO LOSIN' YOUR HEAD,

AND YOU MIGHT LOSE
YOUR HEAD.

HAVE A DRINK.

THANKS.

SURE COULD GO FOR
A SHOT OF SOMETHING

STRONGER THAN WATER.

SO COULD I.

OH, I JUST REMEMBERED,

I GOTTA GO FIX
A STIRRUP STRAP.

(Charley)
DON'T MOVE AROUND!

I MIGHT MISS
IN THE DARK

AND I DON'T LIKE THAT.

YOU FELLAS
ARE ONLY FOOLIN'.

YOU WOULDN'T DO THIS
TO ME, WOULD YOU?

NO, WE WOULDN'T DO IT
TO YOU.

WE JUST WANTED YOU
TO TALK.

BUT THINGS SEEM TO HAVE
GOT OUT OF HAND.

WE DIDN'T KNOW
THE VIRD BROTHERS WERE

SUCH GOOD FRIENDS
OF THESE PEOPLE.

AH, I DIDN'T DO NOTHING
TO THE VIRD BOYS.

TELL 'EM,
TELL 'EM.

CULTUS CHARLEY,

WE THINK YOU'RE
GOING TOO FAR, MAYBE.

MAYBE.

I CAN THROW CLOSER.

[gasps]

YOU SEE, REPP,
IT'S NO USE.

(Prine)
WE THREE CAN'T FIGHT

THE WHOLE BUNCH
IN THEIR END OF THE TOWN.

(Owen)
THAT'S RIGHT, REPP.
I CAN'T STOP CHARLEY.

STOP HIM.
STOP HIM.

PLEASE STOP HIM!

[screams]

HE'S A YELLOW COWARD.

FAY DUTCHER KILLED JUKE VIRD
THE NIGHT OF THE STAMPEDE.

(Charley)
YOU KILLED GEORGE VIRD.

NO, NO, I DIDN'T.

DUTCHER DID THAT, TOO.

TELL THE TRUTH, REPP.

WILL ISHAM GAVE ORDERS FOR
BOTH KILLINGS, DIDN'T HE?

I DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'
ABOUT THAT.

NONE OF THE CREW KNEW

DUTCHER WAS
GOING TO KILL THEM FELLAS.

HE LAUGHED AT 'EM.

HE WAS STILL LAUGHIN'
WHEN THEY DIED,

COLD AS ICE.

YOU'LL NEVER TIE
ISHAM INTO THIS.

YOU MAY ROPE DUTCHER,

BUT ISHAM CAN ALWAYS HIRE
A NEW GUNSLINGER.

I STILL THINK
YOU'RE LYING, REPP.

I'M NOT LYIN'.

[gasps]

I KNOW, YOU'RE AFTER
WILL ISHAM'S HIDE.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU
ASK HIM

WHO SHOT DOWN
HUGH CLAGG.

THAT'S WHAT YOU
WANT TO KNOW, AIN'T IT?

(Repp)
AIN'T IT?

(Prine)
ISHAM SHOT CLAGG,
AIN'T THAT RIGHT?

(Repp)
THAT'S RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS, THANKS.

I MUST TALK TOSENOR
ISHAM.

I SAW YOUR MAN REPP
TELL OWEN MERRITT

HOW YOU KILLED CLAGG.

THEY TAKE REPP
TO TOWN.

CAN WE GET TO TOWN
BY DAWN?

SURE.

THEN WE'LL BEAT THEM IN.
WAKE UP THE BOYS.

NAN.

HELLO, LAURE.

YOU WERE WITH OWEN?

I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO FIND HIM.

HOW DID YOU EXPECT
TO DO THAT

WHEN ISHAM CAN'T?

OH.

OWEN'S ALL RIGHT, THEN?

YES,
BUT HE WAS HURT.

OH, THEN,
WHY DID YOU LEAVE HIM?

I'M LIKE YOUR HUSBAND
IN ONE RESPECT, LAURE,

HALF OF SOMETHING
ISN'T ENOUGH.

GIDDAP, GIDDAP!

LOOKS LIKE WE BEAT HIM IN.

WE'LL SEE.

I'LL BE UP
AT THE HOTEL.

PUT YOUR MIND
AT EASE, MR. ISHAM.

THIS IS LIKE SHOOTING
CRIPPLED DUCKS IN A BARREL.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS,
SPREAD OUT.

GET OUT OF SIGHT.

GRAY, PUT THESE HORSES
WHERE THEY WON'T BE SEEN.I SMELL SOMETHING
IN THIS WIND AND SAND

THAT'S NOT ALTOGETHER
THE WEATHER.

YEAH.

[people chattering]

(Dutcher)
HOWDY, CROKER.

HI.

SET 'EM UP.
OVER HERE.

I LIKE THE VIEW.

SURE GOT A LOT OF
NERVOUS PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN.

YEAH.

AND YOU'RE LOOKIN'
AT ONE RIGHT NOW.

[knocking on door]

YEAH?

SO YOU CAME HERE.

WILL, WHY ARE YOU
IN TOWN?

MY MEN HAVE AN APPOINTMENT
TO MEET SOMEONE.

OWEN MERRITT?

CAN'T YOU STOP NOW?

HAVEN'T YOU DONE ENOUGH
TO OWEN ALREADY?

YOU'RE
GIVING YOURSELF AWAY, LAURE,

EVERY TIME YOU
MENTION HIS NAME,

YOUR VOICE GOES SOFT.

YOUR IMAGINATION MAKES YOU
BELIEVE ANYTHING.

THE MAN WHO HAS YOUR HEART
HAS A WONDERFUL THING.

I HAVEN'T GOT IT.

BUT MAYBE THERE'S HOPE
FOR US YET.

MAYBE YOU CAN CHANGE.

COULD YOU KEEP ON
LOVING A MAN

AFTER HE WAS DEAD?

[wind whistling]

SHERIFF.

MERRITT. PRINE.

(Prine)
THAT'S US ALL RIGHT, SHERIFF.

[door closes]

(man)
HOWDY.

HOWDY.

SAY, I JUST SAW
THE FUNNIEST SIGHT

GOIN' DOWN THE STREET.
OH, YEAH?

A WHOLE CART
FULL OF MEXICANS,

BUT THEY
WEREN'T MEXICANS.

NO?

ONE OF THEM HAD ON A PAIR OF
FANCY BOOTS AND SPURS.

MMM-HMM.

WELL, YOU KNOW, PRINE WON
THEM SPURS AND BOOTS

AT A RIFLE SHOOT
LAST JULY.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

WELL, I KNOW
'CAUSE I WAS IN IT.

TRIED FOR IT MYSELF.

SAY, THEY HAD
YOUR MAN REPP WITH 'EM.

TOOK HIM INTO
THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

HE WAS
ALL DRESSED UP, TOO.

SIGN HERE.

I AIN'T NEVER HAD NOTHING
AGAINST YOU, MERRITT,

SO I GOT TO TELL YOU.

WILL ISHAM AND THAT
WHOLE SKULL CREW'S IN TOWN.

LOOKS LIKE THEM COMIN'.

WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE,
MERRITT, SO COME ON OUT.

WHY DON'T YOU COME IN?

THAT'S JUST
WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.

DON'T!

IF WE START
THAT GANG SHOOTING,

THERE'LL BE A LOT OF MEN
KILLED FOR NOTHING.

THERE'RE TOO MANY
OF THEM.

WHERE'S ISHAM?
AT THE HOTEL.

LET ME OUT
THE BACK WAY.

OWEN, THEY'LL SPOT YOU.

LET 'EM COME IN
WHEN I GET OUT.

OWEN, IF THERE'S GONNA BE
GUNPLAY BETWEEN YOU AND ISHAM,THERE'S ONE THING

YOU'VE GOTTA GET
CLEAR IN YOUR HEAD:

IF YOU'RE THINKING OF LAURE,
YOU'D BE A DEAD MAN.

MY MIND IS CLEAR.

[wind howling]

OPEN THAT DOOR
OR WE BLOW IT DOWN.

[pounding on door]

ALL RIGHT, DUTCHER,
I'M OPENING UP.

WHERE IS HE?

WHERE'S WHO?

DON'T GIVE ME
THAT STUFF.

THREE OF YOU CAME
INTO THIS BUILDING
AND NOW THERE'S ONLY--

YOU MIGHT AS
WELL QUIT, DUTCHER.

WHEN MERRITT GETS HOLD OF
ISHAM AT THE HOTEL--

ISHAM AT THE HOTEL.

(Isham)
OK.

ALL YOURS.

[Isham chattering]

HOLD IT, WILL.

YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO...

I OUGHT TO.

THE WAY FAY DUTCHER
KILLED THE VIRD BROTHERS,AND THE WAY HE SHOT DOWN
HUGH CLAGG WITHOUT A CHANCE.

WILL.

I DON'T BLAME YOU
FOR KILLING CLAGG.

THAT I WANTED TO DO MYSELF.

BUT YOU DID.

AND LEE REPP'S WORD
CAN HANG YOU FOR IT.

THAT I HAVE ALREADY, SIGNED.

[wind howling]

I WOULDN'T.

THERE'S A WAY OUT,
FOR A PRICE.

IF YOUR PRICE IS HER,
I'LL NEVER PAY IT.

I CAME TO END TROUBLES.

SELL SKULL
AND GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

(Isham)
SELL OUT SKULL?

PLEASE, WILL,
LET'S DO IT.

LET'S GO AWAY.

(Isham)
YOU'D GO AWAY WITH ME
AFTER ALL THAT'S HAPPENED?

YOU'RE
MY HUSBAND, WILL.

I MADE A BARGAIN.

I ALMOST
FORGOT THAT ONCE,

BUT I--I
NEVER WILL AGAIN.

WELL, OWEN, YOU'VE WON.

BUT SO HAVE I.

DON'T DUTCHER!

[gun firing]

(Laure)
WILL!

[gun fires]

YOU KEPT YOUR BARGAIN.
THANKS.

SKULL'S YOURS.

(Isham)
NEVER SELL IT.

NO, I WON'T.
I WON'T.

BY THE WAY, MERRITT,

I JUST QUIT WORKING
FOR ISHAM.

WE GOT NOTHING
TO FIGHT ABOUT ANYMORE.

I'VE GOT PLENTY.
JUKE AND GEORGE.

LET HER GO, DUTCHER.

[wind howling]

OWEN, DON'T. PLEASE!

STAY BACK.

[gun fires]

HOLD IT, DUTCHER.

YOU WOULDN'T SHOOT A MAN
IN THE BACK, WOULD YOU?

I COULD, YOU.

I'VE GOT NO GUN.
IT WOULD BE MURDER.

I WAS HOPING THAT
YOU'D TRY YOUR LUCK.

HEAD FOR
THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

YOU'RE HURT AGAIN!

WON'T YOU
EVER LEARN?

YOU'LL HAVE TO TEACH ME.
