All language subtitles for The.Ballad.of.Lefty.Brown.2017

What the--

which one
of you took a chip,
shot that fella in the back?

Hey!

Reckon that's enough.

Lefty, ain't you
a little gray to be
making these mistakes?

There you go.

Never can please you,
now, can I?

Hard of hearing, son?

I give up.

You ain't
gonna shoot?

Yep.

All's I'm saying
is that you can't

just go and throw a rope
around a man's neck

whenever the hell
it pleases you.

It don't ever please me.

One hell of a way
to start your career,
Mr. senator.

I still
can't believe
he'd shoot a man

over a $2.00
hand of poker.

Don't you say
nothing to Laura.

You know how she
feels about me still
acting the lawman.

Ah, Edward, she don't
listen to me, anyway.

Mr. Johnson.

Ohh.

Ohh.

Heh. Don't you worry none.

I'll tend to the horses
for you.

"Can carry the coffin,
but the corpse will walk."

Ah, no.

Oak, I raise you.

Be the day when i
don't have to bunk
with the like of you boys.

Mr. Johnson already
said he's not taking you
to Washington.

Washington?
Who said anything
about Washington?

I'm talking about
the two-story.

What on god's green earth
are you gonna do
with a family house?

What the hell
do you think?

Mm.

Everybody's gotta
have a dream.

It ain't up for debate.

You leave lefty
in charge of our ranch,

the place won't be here
when we return.

All right.
I'll bring him with us.

You will do
no such thing.

A senator needs
a good aide.

Edward Johnson,
don't even joke on this.

I need
my peace and quiet.

I surrender.
I surrender.

Oh, my goodness.

Arms down.

Now, lefty'll run
this ranch just fine.

You know he's ridden
with me 40 years now, and--

so has your horse.

We talk
on everything else.

Don't know why you're
being so stubborn
about this.

Nobody here
is gonna listen to him.

A more loyal man
than lefty brown
hasn't walked this earth.

Loyal isn't the same
as capable.

We need someone
like tom harrah.

Well, if'n I'm gonna
take on all of Washington,

I need a fella I can trust
back here at the home front...

And a fine woman
by my side.

You flatter all
you want, Mr. Johnson.

Don't change the fact
that I have a needle
and you don't.

Ow!

That's not fair.

Ah, come on.

Damn post, what'd i
ever do to you?

Who won?

Well, seeing as
it's standing firm,

but I'm still
lying in the dirt,

I guess
I'd call it a draw.

You'll whip it yet.
Come on.

Of course I will.
I ain't ever
let you down.

I'm too old
to change my ways now.

I know that.

Eh, do know that, huh?
Yep.

I also know that roundup's
approaching fast.

You, uh, able to get
everything ready?

Well...

And it ain't
gonna be just me.

No, it's gonna be oak
and Billy kitchen

and that fella
that come--

Mr. Johnson!

Mr. Johnson!

The herd!

We've got
three horses missing.

How many head?

Three horses
off the north ranch.

You ought to take oak
or some of the other boys
along with you.

Don't you worry
about that, miss Laura.

That fella don't know
what he's got coming at him.
Ain't that right--

lefty, hush.

These are good boys.

There's no reason
not to take them along.

Oh, with a look like that,

you're gonna scare
half of Washington.

Let's go.

You see?
There's two shod hooves
and three unshod.

Uh, have you ever, um--

now come on. Spit it out.

I was thinking on
the right words, is all.

You haven't changed
your mind, have you,

about putting me
in charge?

What kind
of a fool question is that?

Ah, you know me.
I ain't got the sense
to keep my mouth shut,

but still, uh,
the way your Laura's
looking at me

and what you
was saying earlier
about am I ready,

it's got me thinking.

Maybe somebody else
ought to be in charge?

Now, don't you go
starting on me, too.

I ain't
starting nothing.

Just saying, is all.

Well, I reckon
you're gonna stand tall,

or you ain't.

I'll wager on the first.

I won't be needing this
in Washington.

Oh, i--

I want you to have it.
No.

I can't take that.

Hyah.

Uh...

What...

That blond fella...

He gonna pay for this.

You were supposed
to watch his back.

I'm sorry about it.

Sorry don't get it done.

No, it don't.

I know that.

Do you?

Yeah.

I've seen you...

Chasing after him
from one job to the next,

doing nothing...

Living off his dime.

I was his partner.

Of course I had--

I'm his wife.

And now...

He's gone,
and you're here.

I ain't trying to get--

lefty, let me be
with my husband.

It wasn't my fault.

There was nothing
nobody could do.

Uh...

40 years, we rode together,

and you didn't deserve
to die this way.

That son of a bitch...

I'm gonna get
that son of a bitch,

or I'm gonna die trying.

My word,
it ain't worth much...

But on this, it is.

On this, it is.

Whoa.

Oh, Jimmy, this place
ain't changed a bit.

No, it hasn't.

Where's Laura?

Oh, Mr. governor, sir,
the corral.

Yeah, sh-she's
by the corral.

You boys don't
let her go or nothing.

Oh, jeez.

Billy, this has
to be done right.

Here. You hold her.

You hurry back
with the next one.

Sun's not long
for the day.

That can't be.

I'm so sorry.

Ain't right for him
to go this way.

Oh.

Mr. Johnson
would be mighty proud.

I been marshaling
the last couple years,

thanks to Jimmy here.

I'm so glad you came.

Nowhere else I'd be.

Well,
where's my manners?

You're hungry?

There's biscuits
up by the house.

Your mama's recipe?
Heh.

Most folks call it
my recipe now.

You have any idea
who might have done this?

Lefty was there.

He said he saw
the rustler.

He's a tall man
with blond, long hair.

You're sure?

Oh, lefty's sure.

By week's end,
I'll have half the army

chasing down
Eddie's killer.

And lefty?

They'll find him as well...

I think.

Well, we've lost
one friend,

and I don't plan
on losing another.

Tom...

Just leave the hunting
to the soldiers

who captured
John wilkes booth.

This is lefty brown.

The man couldn't
find his ass
with two hands.

He's likely
wandering that desert,

praying to god
for some water.

I'm going after him.

Bet he'd find it, too.

Yeah.

You ever wish...

It was
the same as it was,

just the four of us,

and we had the world
shaking in its boots?

Just find him,
and bring him back.

Hyup.

You ain't getting away
from me this time.

Where you at,
you sum-bitch?

Come out
where I could see you.

Who the hell are you?

Where's blondie?

There ain't
no one else here, mister.

But you're right
out of your mama's
belly, boy.

There ain't no way
you're here alone.

God's honest truth.

Where's your horse?

He got snakebit.

Had to put it down.

Snake won't kill no horse.

Damn sight too big.

His leg swelled up
like a melon.

Well, he was snakebit,
wasn't he?

Look, i--i ain't
gonna be taking advice
from no thief.

Yeah, you ain't got nothing
nobody'd damn want.

You ain't seen another fella
pass through, have you?

He's blond,
and he's mean-looking,

like he'd piss in--
you hunting an outlaw?

Did you see anyone
or not?

Sir! Sir!

Sir, I'd be obliged

if you can give me
a ride to the nearest town,

if it wouldn't be
much trouble.

I can also help you catch
that fella you're after.

This son of a bitch
killed my partner.

I ain't got time
to baby-sit

some boy, thinks
he's wild bill.

I can shoot.

Well, ain't that
something?

I can.

There's a difference
between shooting
and drawing.

All right?

Yeah.

Just walk that way.

If you
ain't dragging
all that gear,

you ought to reach
bannack in a day.

Maybe two.

Oh, hell.

What do you call
yourself, wild bill?

Jeremiah,
Jeremiah Perkins.

Jeremiah Perkins.

Well, most folks
call me lefty brown.

Mr. Johnson went
without a will.

The law says
that this ranch

will be entailed to
his closest male heir.

Unfortunately, uh...

This is correct.

This is my ranch,

my sweat and my blood
as much as his.

The law is what it is.

The law is wrong.

Be that as it may,
there's nothing I can do.

You could write a will.

All you'd have
to do is--is date it
a few months back.

Nobody's gonna question
the--the integrity...
Laura. Laura.

Of a will that's
been witnessed
by the governor.

The people elected me
as their champion
of law and order.

Well,
if you believe that,

then you're a bigger
fool than Eddie thought.

18 years ago, Alameda,
i was there.

Remember?

Cyrus applegate was
an outlaw and a murderer,

but I did
not want to kill him.

I wanted
to put him in jail.

You did what was right.

I'd wager that depends
on who you'd ask.

This is my ranch.

Eddie wanted me
to have this ranch,

not some cousin
he hasn't seen in 30 years!

I'm gonna fight
who I have to!

Still acting the damn fool,
i see.

Tom!

It's like Christmas!

Get over here.

Christmas in July,
seeing you!

Good to see you, lefty.

Who's the kid?

Oh, just some tenderfoot
that needed
looking after.

But now that
you're here,

we've got ourselves
a real goddamn posse.

I'll get my gear here.

Army's gonna take care
of Eddie's killers.

I'm just here
to bring you home.

Well, uh,
i ain't exactly got

a home for you
to bring me to.

Lefty, Laura can't run
that ranch without you.

Well,
seeing as you ain't
exactly been around--

and I think you
understand my meaning--

I don't figure
how you would know that.

I know one thing.

You ain't changed
a damn bit.

Well, listen here.

I'm gonna bring back
Edward's killer,

and there ain't
nothing that you
can do about it.

I can knock you cold,
old man.

How's that for a draw,
Mr. brown?

Is that child
pointing a gun at me?

Shit.

You really are
a damn fool,
lefty brown.

Why are you
tying him up?

Well, you don't think
i ought to shoot him,
do you?

But he's a lawman.

Yeah, he buried his badge
in the bottle years ago.

Then, what's that?

Well, I'll be.

Ahh. Last time,
i seen this fella,

the folks
was calling him

whiskey tom harrah,
the spittoon diver.

Sheriff
Thomas harrah?

Oh, no.
According to this,

it's marshal
Thomas harrah.

I ain't touched a drop,

not since Eddie
smacked me in the head
with that old Henry.

The Thomas harrah?

What is it?!

Oh.

Well, this one here--

this one here is you.

And the other one...

Is Edward.

Edward Johnson.

This is not bad,
that likeness.

It looks like him when
he smiles like that.

Is it true
what they say?

You went alone against
the whole Bradford gang?

Hey.
And then you--

what the hell
are you doing?! Huh?

The man's my hero.

Yeah? What kind of hero

turns his back
on his friends
when they need him most?

What's he talking about?

The governor
called in the army,

and he don't need us.

Now, that's Jimmy talk.

Ever occur to you
that maybe he's right?

The railroad,
the soldiers--

get some law and order.

That can't be a bad thing.

Oh, lord, lord, lord.

You gotten good
and greasy with
your words, ain't you?

What would
Edward do, huh...

If you was
the one that was buried
six feet in the dirt?

Shit.

Damn it, lefty.

Eh?

Cut me loose.

Cut me loose quick,
before I change my damn mind.

Ha ha!
Cut him loose.

Now, tom, he doesn't
like me to say it, but--

you mind if I tell
Jeremiah about the time
you took off with--

yeah, I do. Shut up.

Well, I thought--
i thought--

I won't tell him,
then. I won't.

Lefty, just ride.

We got a long ways.

My pa,
he taught me to read
with these two,

"the seminole chief"
and "the road agents."

Ah, "the road agents"?

They were nothing

but a bunch
of modern vigilantes.

Isn't that right, lefty?

Kid, ain't i
in one of them?

No, you're not
in any of these,
not that I've seen.

Well, might be
you ought to take
a closer look at that.

I've never seen him
mentioned in them,

and I've read
more than most.

Oh, lefty,
he ain't ever happy

unless he's got something
to complain about.

Me?
You ain't happy

unless you're making my life
and other people's lives
miserable.

You do a fine job
on your own, old man.

"Old man"?
Don't you start with that.

You calling me
an old man?

I ain't born but just
a year or two before you.

At least I was conscious
half the time,

like you was unconscious
most of that time.

It's a story.
I don't even think--

what are you saying?!

What I'm saying is...

It's a yarn,
a children's story.

So? What?

There's better men
not made it in than did,

yourself included.

You feel better now?

I don't even understand you
half the time,

but I think you're
actually trying to be nice.

Get off of me,
or I'll shoot you.

I'll shoot you,

shoot your other leg.

How's your coffee?
You want a little more?

I'll take a sip, yeah.

All right.
I'll get you it.

Read me another one
of them stories, kid.

It's
"the blackfeet trail."

This is the story
of a tribe of blackfeet

that kidnap
Mr. Johnson's wife.

Uh, kid--

and then you and him
spent two years

tracking them
across mont--

what did I say?

Well, that weren't
Edward's wife.

That was tom's,

and we looked for her
longer than two years.

But they rescued her.

They fought off
the blackfeet

by the old cave,
and they rescued her.

Why do you reckon
that tom crawled
into a bottle

in the first place,
then?

Did you
find something?

Yep.

Hey. No, kid,

you get on
back up here.

You're only gonna
get in the way down there.

Can't learn if you
don't try, lefty.

Lord almighty.

That kid is getting
uppish as Jimmy was
back in the day.

We can't track
in these rocks.

Sun's fading fast.

Let's make camp.

Now, hold on there.

Of course he didn't
go up them rocks.

They went up that crevice,
'cause there's nothing
but desert that way.

We're gonna
get this done, tom.

We gotta get it done.

Lefty.

Hyah.

Should we
go after him?

Nah.

We'll catch up to him
in the morning.

Hyah.

Even he ain't
dumb enough

to ride
through that at night.

Best speak up.

Where you at?

Huh?!

Horses have got
the brand j on them.

Lefty.
Huh?

Oh, it might be.

Hey, listen.

You done a damn good job
finding these bastards.

Eddie'd be
might' proud of you.

They're awful
ornery-looking. Hey.

Stupid kid.

Ain't you
supposed to be back
with the horses?

Is the killer in there?

Ah, he don't
listen to me.

You're outnumbered
three to one.

Yeah.

You know,
might be the kid's
right, tom.

You know, might be
we ought to get

some help from Jimmy
on this one,
thinking, maybe.

That right there...

Is why nobody's
written about you.

Why don't you--

hey.
Get your head on, hmm.

Shut up.

Listen. What you're
gonna do, Jeremiah,

you're gonna
go back to the horses
and keep them calm.

I ain't going back
to the horses, tom.

Listen to me.
I need you back there
keeping them calm.

There's gonna be
a lot of gunfire,

and I don't want
the horses spooked,

so you go
back there, okay?

Lefty...

You go in the back way.

I'll go in the front.

You figure
on going in there?

Yeah.

It's what we do.

And remember...

Brown hat,
so you don't shoot me.

How long we have
to wait around here?

Shit.

I ain't leaving this chair
'til I win one.

I wasn't talking to you.

Ah, shit, we ain't got
nowhere else to be.

Let me take one card.

What you got?

The boy's
talking to you.

All right.
I'm all in.

Go. Now.

Marshal harrah?

Mr. crobley.

No one said nothing
about you being here, marshal.

Kid, don't.

Stop.

St-stay back there.

D-don't.

Kid, don't.

Don't do that.

Blondie,
you in there?!

You best step out
right now.

Ah, Jesus. Jesus.

Marshal...

Please don't
let him kill me.

How is it
you know this fella?

Your name crobley?

Now that's far enough
right there.

Be careful now.

Old man there's
jumpy on the trigger.

Please, don't shoot.

Just shut up.

Is that kid
still alive?

Yep.

All right.

I'm asking you
for a fair trade,

one for one.

Well, shit, that depends
on who this feller is.

You--answer him.

But--I'm Mr. Thaddeus
William crobley.

Shut up.

That the money?

There any more?

Th-that's it.
That's all of it.

Let's split it up!

Don't be greedy.

What about the boy?

He's bleeding out.
We're leaving.

Where the hell
you going?

One in front and one behind,

ain't that the way
it's supposed to be?

Hyah.

Whoa.

You best get off
of that Colt slow.

I'm feeling
a tad bit jumpy.

All right.

Yep.
Hey, kid!

You seen the kid?

Nope.

Tom, did it even
occur to you to look?

Oh, god damn.

Ah...

Tom?

No, tom's
a mite bit busy.

Reckon you're gonna
have to put up with me.

Lefty.

Yeah?

I should have stayed
with the horses.

Oh, lord.

Now listen here.

You got a bullet in you.

It's gonna
have to come out,

so I want you
to bite down onto that.

All right.

Think about that.

Lord, I can't find it. Dang.

Hang on.

Ah, I can't get at it.

I can't--

got to get it out.

Kid, I gotta get it out.

I got it. I--

I got it.

I got that sum-bitch.

I got it.

You can just rest now.

Frank bains.

Been looking for you.

While I was
looking for you,

found your brothers...

Andy and Dan.

Left them
hanging in a tree.

Now you're gonna get hung,

either by lefty
or a judge.

Ah, don't doubt that.

So why don't you tell me

about your acquaintance
with Mr. crobley.

Ah, if i
recollect correctly,

I became acquainted
with Mr. crobley

'bout
a couple hours back,

while you were cowering
behind that dirt pile
out there.

Ah, shit.

He bring you this?

That's a lot of money.

What happens
when the rest of your gang

find out that you
ran off with it?

I ain't too worried.

They ain't
the smartest lot.

Crobley was
the governor's man.

Oh? Heh.

So that's why
he don't look
like no outlaw?

Whose money's this?

Why you kill Edward Johnson?

Aw, come on, marshal.

You know a man's gotta
make his name somehow.

Tell me!

Tell me!

Was it the governor?

Huh?

Did Jimmy bierce...

Pay you...

To kill Eddie?!

Hey, marshal,
when I get to hell,

I'm make sure
i pay your wife
a little visit.

When did this come?

Fella came by
an hour back,

governor's man
all the way
from bannack.

Is he still here?

Uh-uh.

What is it?

Salvation.

Am I gonna die?

You are not gonna die.

Now looky here.

I grabbed you
one of these.

I thought that you might
want to look at it

while I was
getting squared up.

Would you read it to me?

Read it?

Just my eyes
ain't so good
in the dark, but...

Ah...

I could tell you
about Edward.

Well, let's see.
Uh, one time,

he was crossing
the desert, and--

were you with him?

Me? No, I was laid up
with a bullet.

I ain't
walked straight since.

What happened?

Well, I was saying--

you know,
just like I was saying,
he was crossing this--

no, what happened to you?

What happened was--

well, that's not gonna
be near as interesting.

Now, see, I ain't
thought on it
for a while.

There was a stagecoach,
and it was heading east,

and Edward was supposed
to ride shotgun on it

on account of a bandit.

His name was small no--

no, that
weren't it at all.

It was
split nose Hopkins.

Oh, he was
a terrible sight
to lay your eyes on.

And Edward
happened to be
out of the territory.

He gave me the job.

Sure enough,
half a day travel out,

Hopkins and his gang,

they ambushed us.

Like we were?

No, it was different.

I let off
a couple shots,

and we high-tailed it.

We gave 'em
a hell of a chase.

We almost got away, too,

except that we
found ourselves

closed up in this
hellacious box canyon.

Oh, lord,
those walls was steep,

and three days,
we waited,

trapped up in there,

and they waited
for us, too,

'cause they knew that we
didn't have any food.

Well, I reckon
that I'm a fella

that can wait
like the best of 'em.

But then,
all of a sudden,

I grit my teeth,

and I could wait
no more.

And I dragged myself
up them sheer walls.

I damn near fell
twice to my death,
but I made it,

heh. Hopkins,
he missed it,

on account
of he never looked up.

Well, I just...

Charged around
behind him,

and I surprised
old split nose

with a barrel
full of buckshot.

Me, i--

well, that's...

When I took one
in the leg.

And, oh, it just--

it just gave me
terrible pain and--

but them fellas,
they was...

Giving some wild shots,
and i--

I pulled up the growler.

It's the handiest thing
i own.

Grit my teeth...

I can't wait
no longer either.

All right, then, kid.

All right.

Aww.

There you go, boy.

There you go.
There you go.

What the hell
are you doing, tom?

I'm leaving.

No. Here,
you had a bad night.

There ain't
no reason to leave us.

Lefty--
don't you lefty me.

You're forgetting
you got that badge
on your chest.

If Edward was here,
he'd say it means something.

You just sober up now.

I'm gonna go
get that kid.

I'm gonna go
get blondie here,

and you
is gonna help me
load him back up

to the ranch
in one piece.

Lefty...

Tom.

Hey, tom.

Hyah!

Where are you going?!

Where are you going?!

I got--

there's--

i--

what am i
supposed to do now?

Is it his gang?

Could be. I ain't sure.

Oh, I am.

Why don't we
get off this road,
go back the way we came?

It'd take
a day longer that way,

and that's a day
you ain't got.

A fool and his fool.

You still
breathing back there,
wild bill?

Huh?

Do you think tom
might have gone to get help?

That maybe
we should have waited?

Ah, from the way
old tom was looking,

I'd guess that he was
headed towards a drink.

Whoa.

That's far enough.

Now, I reckon
there's two of us

and one of you.

Oh, shit.

Hand 'em over.

Yeah, yeah.

Boy, you, too.

Howdy, frank.

Take these damn things
off of me.

I figure before we
do anything else,

we ought to split up
that there money.

I ain't got no money.
Where's it at?

You dumb shit, you think
they'd let me keep it?

Where's it at?!

Where's what?

The money.

Well, how's a fella
supposed to know

what you're
talking about?

The money we was paid
for killing Johnson.

I need you to tell me
this isn't yours, Jimmy.

You're drunk.

Yeah.

Is it yours?

No, it is not mine.

You see, I got that...

Off of this fella
by the name of frank bains,

and frank, well, frank,

he got it
off of thad crobley.

Mr. crobley
had a checkered past.

I figured he deserved
a second chance.

He's dead,

killed by the man
he come to pay.

It is not pleasant
being wrong.

To the tragedy
of changing times.

These changing times,

where did Eddie fit in?

Eddie was too big
for the law.

He was a man
of the land, though,

and a great land, it is.

Please.

Don't practice
your damn speeches on me.

It is my oration
for Eddie's memorial.

A killer speaking over
the man he killed.

This frank killed Eddie.

And you put him up to it.

I did no such thing.

Eddie was my friend.

I tried
to make him understand

that this isn't
the land it once was.

Come on, tom.

We're civilized now.

Businesses thrive...

Families travel
in safety...

And Indians no longer
rape our wives.

Don't.

If'n he understood,

he wouldn't have
gone after that rustler.

He'd be on his way
to Washington right now.

The money...

I swear to you
on our friendship...

I did not kill Eddie.

To senator
Edward Johnson...

A great hero
of our people.

And more...

A loyal friend.

To Eddie.

To Eddie.

Do you hear 'em
talking about anything

or see anything or
look like they had money?

I don't remember.

Well, we should
have been looking.

We should have looked.

It ain't here.

Watch frank.

Hey--

where's that money?!

Hey!

Ain't you supposed
to be a talker?!

Where's the money?!

Ah, god damn it.

Son of a bitch.

Shit!
Hey.

It's, uh...

You, uh, figure tom
might have taken the money?

Tom? No. No.

Never would have
done that.

It ain't his way.

Well, maybe there
wasn't any money
to begin with,

and that's why they
couldn't find it.

Now you listen here.

There ain't
no point in us

talking about what
you and I don't know.

Hell, kid...

It's money.

It makes fools of men.

Eddie--
you all right?

Now, hey,
hold on there.

Listen here.

There ain't no way

you're gonna ride
any more.

I'm gonna
have to get us--

get us some help
on this one.

You got everything
you need here.

I'm gonna leave
the growler with you.

All right.

Now don't you die on me.

You hear me?

Whoa!

Now, here,

I got--

don't you be doing that.

I got a dying kid
back there.

You go get the medicines
from the bunkhouse.

Don't be rude now.

We planned a real
homecoming for you.

Quit your joshing, boys.

I got
a dying kid back there.

I ain't got time for--

boys, I don't have time!

Then we'll
make it quick.

Now, hey, I got that fella
what killed Edward.

He's back there
with that kid. I got him!

The fella who killed
Mr. Johnson?

I'm looking at him.

No!

No, that ain't true!

And no one else thought
you'd be idiot enough

to show your face
back here.

I knew, though.

Stop this, all of you!

"It is with
a heavy heart

"i must inform you
lefty brown

is responsible
for the death
of senator Johnson."

You know
that there telegram

is a load of bullcrap.

Hell, I can't believe
how low you think of me.

You're not
gonna tell me why.

Why?

How 'bout you tell me?

You're the one saying
i done something I ain't.

Well,
maybe you were angry.

Maybe he told you
he wasn't gonna
leave you in charge.

No.

Why would he do that?

Because I told him to.

Tom and me, we tracked
that son of a bitch

halfway across
the high desert,

and we got him,
like I promised you I would.

Now, you ride with me
to that kid,

'cause that's
where I killed him.

You tell me
where that kid is,
and I'll send help.

There ain't
no sure directions to give.

I have to take you to him.

That there piece of paper...

You're saying
that that's worth more

than the word of a man who's
known you over half your life?

I've known Jimmy
for a long time, too.

What's Jimmy got to do
with all this?

Jimmy wrote that paper?

Yes, he did.

Lying don't become you.

You know
better than anybody

Eddie never gave me time
to learn my letters.

Look at the seal.

Lefty!

No.

You'll have your say
before the judge.

No.

No.

Sorry, marshal.

Ain't
no free drinks here.

What's going on here?

Hey, Jimmy.

Just helping out.

I get paid
next week, so...

You don't ever
touch a spittoon again.

He still owes me
for another day's worth.

That runs out,
you just come and find me.

Ah, kid.

Hang in there, kid.

Hang in there.

What the...

Lefty, prisoner or no,
you...

Lefty got out!

Go after him!

There.

All right.

Get back this way.

That ought to do it.

You gonna secure
that sitch?

It's tight.

Tight enough to only last
about half a mile
down the road.

Ain't nowhere to run

for the likes
of a murdering coward like you.

Shotgun ain't got
the range, ma'am.

What are you
waiting for?!

I didn't kill Edward...

And I ain't gonna kill you.

And this is your medicine
i been giving you.

This--you just
gotta take a little--

oh, get 'er down.
Get 'er--

there you go.

Go easy.
Easy there, wild bill.

You just take--
easy, easy, easy.

Hey.

Look at you.

Welcome back.

This the ranch?

Don't look like no ranch,
now, do it?

No.

How long
have I been here?

Eight days.

You ought to eat.

Guess I can try.

Yes, you can.

Couldn't be
bothered to warn me,
now, could you?

You ought to watch yourself.
There's buckshot in that.

You know,
there's not a dentist
for a thousand miles.

Where are we, anyway?

The only place I can be.

That money, that belonged
to Jimmy bierce...

And he had Edward killed,

and now he's got me
taking the blame.

What?

Yeah, tom, that's how he knew
that fancy-looking fella.

They's all
working for Jimmy.

They were friends.

You...

You said
they were friends.

That's
what you said.

I know. I was wrong.

It was--it was nothing
like I said it was,

and that's me.

That's lefty brown...

The man who never
got anything right

in over 60-odd years.

You saved my life.

Yes, I did.

What we gonna do now?

What the hell?

It's a memorial service.

The sum-bitch
had Edward killed.

He can't speak
on his behalf.

We can't kill
the governor.

We'd get strung up.

We need some proof.

I--i know that.

I'll find some.

Kid, hey.

You said you were
holding him for trial?

It's just, seems to me
if lefty were innocent,
he wouldn't have run.

He took some medicine
with him.

Maybe he had no choice.

Huh.

We all have a choice.

I'll look into it
after the memorial.

You're a loyal friend.

I never got a chance
to thank you properly

for helping me
with the ranch.

It's what Eddie
would have wanted.

What he
wouldn't have wanted

is for you to appoint
the man he beat

to take his place
in the senate.

Robert Meade
is the most qualified
candidate for the job.

He's a railroad man.

Hell, Laura, you know
as well as I do

Eddie was wrong
to stand against
the railroad.

25 years ago,
thousands of people
lived in bannack.

Now, what,
less than a hundred?

This is Eddie's memorial.

It's not a political rally.

There's just no winning
with you, is there?

Well, between you and me,
I'm awful bad at checkers.

We wouldn't be
standing here,

having this conversation
if it weren't for Eddie.

He's done
many great things
for this territory.

Now that's a fact.

But opposing
the railroad contract

is a mistake
that will tarnish
his legacy.

And if I can
correct his mistake...

I will.

Yes, sir.
Looking to check in?

- Daddy.
- Last name?

Sign right here,
please, sir.

Pardon me.

Oh, sweetheart,
come--come with me.

May I help you?

I'm talking to you, boy.

Jim, you're scaring
the lad.

Just trying to be
of assistance.

Sorry. It's just...

I've never met
a governor before.

You recognize me?

James Buckley bierce,

first governor
of this great state.

He's just a man
like any other,

but he has
a speech to give.

I just put my pants on
the same way as you.

What the--

ahh.

Tom.

Oh, tom,
Edward would be ashamed.

Give me another glass
for my friend.

I--tom,
i can't drink with you.

Here's to Eddie.

I don't think you ought
to be drinking any more.

Lefty, to Eddie.

He said I didn't
need the bottle.

He said
we were strong.

But he was wrong,
of course.

But he believed...

Which is much more
than most folks,

so here's to you,
Eddie.

No. I ain't drinking
with you.

You son of a bitch.

Tom, you gotta sober up
and come on with me.

You shouldn't have
done that, lefty.

Now, tom...

Ah, son of a bitch.

All right.

Here.
You lost this.

I thought you
ought to have it

so you could
remember that the man
who give it to you

is the fella
that killed Edward.

Give him another.

Whoever's paying for it
won't mind.

If Eddie were here today...

I'd wager he'd
admonish you all for coming.

"You've got business
to attend to,

so get to it," he'd say.

Edward Johnson was
a man of action.

He was also
a man of the land...

And a great land, it is.

Railroads crisscrossing
plains and mountain...

Connecting Atlantic
to pacific.

Cattle from Montana
feeding irishmen in New York.

Iron, steel, oil...

This great land of ours
provides.

All it asks for in return
is order.

Without Eddie,

we could never have
reached these heights.

No, sir.

But this is not his world...

Not any longer.

So as we move
into the future,

we shall take with us
all that Eddie has taught us.

The man I'm appointing
to his seat

will honor the memory
of Edward Johnson.

Some of you may already
know Robert Meade.

Yeah.

He and I have worked
closely these past few months...

Finalizing a contract
with the pacific railroad,

a contract that,
once ratified by the senate,

will undoubtedly
revitalize towns like ours.

All hail
the mighty governor!

...it will bring industry.
The great protector!

It will--
he's gonna protect you

and your baby, huh?!
Wow!

This is wonderful stuff!

Great job, Jimmy!
Great job!

Fantastic!

Tommy!

Eddie should have
never let you live,
you son of a bitch.

Somewhere to go, son?

Put down
your Remington, tom.

Let's just you and i
have a talk.

I reckon you and me's
done talking, Jimmy.

I'm gonna kill you,
you bastard!

I'm going to kill you,
you son of a bitch!

No, stop!
He's roostered up.
We have to help him.

I'll fucking kill you!

You will stop him
before anyone gets killed.

Go upstairs.
It's not safe here, Laura.

Jimmy! Jimmy bierce,
what is going on?

Please, now,
before the bullets
start flying. Go now.

Go now.
But--but, Jimmy!

First one that moves
gets a bullet.

Second one will,
too!

Now you just...

No people will get hurt.

Just take it easy.

All right, now. Tom...

Get up here.

Jimmy!
He's gone.

He's gone.

God damn. Ahh.

Stay back.
Stay back now.

Don't get stupid.

Take it easy.
Put your hands away.

Get off the street,
guys!

Put your hands away
from that weapon!

Tom!

Shit!

Shit.

Just careful now.
They ain't killers.
They's just fools.

Yeah, they're killers
when they fucking
shoot us!

I'm gonna go get Jimmy.
Wait, wait, wait!

Come on, you.
That-a-way.

Go.

I'm going.

Come on! Get up!
Come on!

Oh, shit.

In there!

Hold it.

Tom.

Least it wasn't you
who shot me.

Well, that is--
that's lucky, I think,

on account of the fact
you--you kept your hat on
so long.

Huh? Don't you figure?

I--tom?

Now, tom...

Tom?

God--god damn.

I hope you goddamn
found something.

Kind of.

It's been a long while.

Dying in a hail of bullets
seems like such a waste,

don't you think?

Tom would likely
disagree with you,

if'n he could speak.

He was safe in that saloon.

This is gonna be
on your head.

He was safe in that saloon!

Just 'cause you say it,
don't make true.

I was trying
to protect this state.

Eddie screwed my deal.

It was a fine agreement.
You know it.

It would have been
a rebirth for Montana.

Here's my deal.

You put down
that Schofield.

I'll take you
'fore a judge.

Lefty...

Hear me out now.

Killing
the governor of Montana

is--is a federal offense.

It's a hanging offense.

I know that it is.

Do you remember
the first time we met?

I was lying in the woods.

You saved my life.

I-I'd wager you prob--

probably wish
you left me there.

We've come quite the way
since then, you and me.

We have.

But I think
we could go even further.

We could take this state
into the future.

Hmm? How about
you and I right now,

we walk outside,

and I tell the world
you were set up?

But you never gave up,
not you, not lefty brown.

No, you proved to me
your innocence.

How 'bout I make you senator
in Eddie's stead?

Who better
to take his place

than his partner?

You was my friend.

I am...

Your friend.

This is a changed world,

and all you have to do

is put that
goddamn rifle down

and listen to me, boy.

You heard?

I heard.

Ah, then...

I'll see him
to the jail. Mm.

No.

Eddie's way.

It's really
gonna happen.

Miss Laura.

He's the governor,
and we're hanging him
without no trial.

I know.

Eh...

I had my head
in a noose,

and it was you
that saved me.

I'd rather be
the one to do this.

Years from now,

there'll be statues of me
everywhere in Montana.

It's not easy.

But I did my job.

Years from now,
they'll be thanking me for it.

Think so?

Years from now,

I reckon all
these folks'll remember
seeing you hang,

but in a week,

it's me that the law
will come after.

And if'n they catch me,

I reckon
I'll be looking out

at the same faces
as you.

Ma'am.

Lefty.

Well, I'd--I'd say
we owe you an apology.

That was fine work.

The fellas and I,
well, we--

we'd ride with you again.

Well, stick with
Mrs. Johnson, kid.

She'll learn you better
than I ever could.

You'll be on your own
soon enough...

Wild bill.

Hyah. Hyah.
