You

General Jonathan Gray was mad they did a bank in his town

Holland Pike

up

but

The eye's mequatups.

Known collectively as the Pike gang.

Grae had once been partners in crime with these same desparados,

but now all bets were off.

The showdown was interrupted by the Almighty,

who sent the five of whom sailing into the 20th century.

And what a century it is.

But these are special men.

From a special time and place, they dug in, tried to adapt,

started a detection agency to put beans on the table,

and in the process ran head-on into deputy Maggie Randall.

Things may be different this century, but there's plenty of work,

because one thing's bound to be true.

The ban on a razor always outnumbered a good.

All night on patrol, marching around here like a wild earth or something,

and me with a cold bed and a case of the nerves like you wouldn't believe.

I'm sorry, Elizabeth MacDarlane, but when Joe Conlon's boys come to take this town away

from Timothy Jared Wade, they're not going to find him cuddled up with his nag and wife.

If and when they do come, just what is Timothy Jared Wade going to do to stop them?

I don't know, precisely, but at least we'll let them know they've had a fight.

Well, put a fence around the town then and get some dogs.

Typical female idea, fence it in, but the fence, my darling Liz,

will keep the tourists out at the same durn time.

Oh, yes, the tourists.

mobs of them everywhere I look, tourists, we're up to our eyeballs in tourists.

The only problem is they're all invisible.

Well, as soon as I get them a dried Wild West Museum finished...

There won't be any Madrid Wild West Museum, and there won't be any tourists.

It's all just a dream.

Well, of course it's just a dream, you silly woman.

What the hell good's a man without a dream? No good at all, that's what.

Just a walk and talk and piece of meat and bone without notes.

Mark a life in him. I'm just going to keep on with my dreams if you don't mind Mrs. Wade.

Will you please climb down off that geriatric soapbox of yours and calm down, please?

You're going to bust a vein.

Bust a vein, eh? Get over here, woman.

Take a look up there, old year of little faith. I'm not all senile yet.

Two of those gunmen hired by Conlon to protect his property.

Few hundred feet they'll be on our land, and then I'm going to...

And then I'll load a new fire, and together we'll blast them all to damnation.

But I don't think they'll be attacking right away.

So let's have some breakfast? Good idea.

Deep or sportified. You're an old lady. You're still a pretty cute chick.

Oh, Tim, you devil.

So what is it about a one-horse ghost town? It's got grails so scared.

They just don't like being reminded, that's all, Bill.

Remind it of what? Every time I ask you boys about it, you climb up tighter in a banker's coin purse.

Well, Bill, I reckon we don't want to give you any ammunition you might be tempted to use later against Mr. Gray-Olets.

What kind of ammunition?

What is it about this so-called job? You don't like.

I mean, you think about it. We have never made so much money in our lives.

Yeah, well, the Double Eagle Detective Agency was hired to patrol all this range.

Now, Gray-Ole, he's spending every day up in Houston with the big bosses playing Mr. Hype-O-Luton.

It just seems to me that he ought to be giving us a hand.

John is doing what he thinks is best for the agency and for what it is we want to have happen around here.

Apart. Yeah.

Wildlife, pre-serve. Yes, apart.

Harlan, Bill, this is ice.

We got you, Isaiah, what's up?

The same undesirables that we hear before here again.

Unless I miss my guest, they've had too much to drink and trouble just about a moment away.

You guys just hold your horses, we'll be right there.

Now, I know how much you dislike this job, so why don't you just sit there and listen to that radio.

Don't hear.

For Pete's sake, come on.

Oh, boy, rent a cop. They're doing a job, mister.

The job is to keep coyotes and troublemakers off the property of Joe Conlon.

If I were you and I felt real lucky, I'd vamos.

That means move it, mister, before you lose the rest of your wheels.

I'm very grateful, mister Pike.

Well, now's our pleasure, mister.

Good to see you, Harlan.

You just got here in the nick of time, as they say?

Yeah, it would appear so.

Been nice if you told us you were coming, though.

Didn't have the time. I had to get this survey team out of here.

It all got kind of complicated.

Yeah, well, there will be plenty of time.

But then it's a night, you can explain the whole thing.

Well, I can't do that either, because I've got to be back in Dallas for six.

Please understand, there's just so much to do in Dallas and so much that only John can do.

For the company, for the park, for all of us.

Don't blame John. It's my fault, really.

My husband's been very ill and he depends on John for everything.

Well, Harlan, boys, I know you're mad, and you're right.

I mean, you got the rough end of the stick, camping out here and running off interlopers and such.

And I've been in Dallas.

Look, what am I talking about? It's for the good of the cause.

The park again.

Bill, listen to time.

You know, if you were hiding out in him Dallas, flesh pots that I could understand.

But how about he can get so worked up over a conservation park?

That is just beyond this boy.

Now, if you'll excuse me, share, I got some work to do.

Hellfire, John. We want this park thing to work as much as you remember.

I guess we just getting on because we ain't seen you in a month of Sundays.

We miss that old, ugly, battle-scarred face-y-er.

Well, I miss you up pretty face, too, Wilson.

Listen, I'll be back with you all in a week.

And my words on them.

That's good enough for me.

I'll help, Billy.

What about Madrid?

Now, the carland industries need that ghost town.

Remember that fancy Western hotel?

Now, people are going to need a place to stay when they visit the park.

Yeah, someone has to go in there and convince those two old folks to sell.

And that was to be your job, John.

I know how you feel about Madrid.

Somebody's got to do it.

Isaiah?

I don't have the time.

Isaiah, you've got to do this for me.

Look, you just lay it out for him.

Just try and be real polite.

You know, make certain they know what a good price they're going to get.

Harland, you've got to do it.

Please.

All right.

We'll do it.

John, we're going to be late for the plane.

Right.

We're no sweat.

Come, Father.

Yeah, you look to you, too, partner.

What are you thinking?

I was thinking about power.

There's an awful lot of power in your world, Alain.

And I was thinking how easy it must be to let yourself get taken

by the sweet taste of it all.

It is delicious at times, isn't it?

I'm real flat at Alain.

Is your husband's a friend of mine?

He's a friend of mine, too.

He totally understand.

I wouldn't.

You have principles.

You can say that.

It is a hellacious burden at times.

Father, to your principles.

I wish you had taken the time to talk with the Waze.

They in that town they own are the key to the entire project.

Now, Joe, I told you, Harland and Isaiah will handle it.

I wanted you to handle it, Joe.

We've been working hand in glove with you for over a month now.

I assure you that me and the boys will continue to do what we hired.

As far as Madrid, Texas is concerned, I'm going to be a mule.

I won't budge, Joe.

I'm sorry, but that's all there is to it.

I suppose I shouldn't complain.

You've done more than your share of your organizing security.

You see, being a friend, besides, you and the others

are going to be up for a sizable bonus when this is over, and that's a promise.

And there's a very good chance that a certain John Grayle will be offered a full partnership.

You would be trying to bribe me now, would you, Joseph?

What else are friends for?

Listening at keyholes against we heart.

It's going to be trouble.

I like him. We're the same, Grayle and I.

Worked our way up from the bottom. Self-educated, hard-nosed.

I even like those funny clothes you wear.

You are the same, then Grayle doesn't know it yet.

I see. Turned you down to me.

We need Madrid, Texas, and we need it now.

The banks will not approve those loans unless we have that property.

Grayles partners are handling it.

That's not enough.

Helena, I am still running this company, dammit, and I won't have...

I love you very much, Alayna.

Maybe too much.

We're still going to do it my way.

Diplomacy first.

Understand?

Hey, Coward!

Hey, Coward!

Hey, Coward!

Now this needs to be a rip-iron town.

That is an apt description, Holland.

You know, I recall a week-long poker game.

I was going to say, I'm going to do it my way up.

I'm going to do it my way up.

You know, I recall a week-long poker game with old Harry Dawes and the...

Kyle Brothers.

Cominated in what the penny dreadful's called...

Bloody gunfight.

One Isaiah McCatham's laid up for a month,

but hold his chest the size of a Yankee silver dollar.

That's a fact.

That is a fact.

It's the old man.

Well, this not her disfelance.

Good afternoon, sir.

Sir?

The boys from the Conlin outfit, aren't you?

Sure you are.

I seen you riding on this range.

Am I right?

Of course I'm right.

Because a body gets into his 90s, doesn't mean that his brain isn't right and true.

In this trigger finger.

All right, what do you want?

Throw me out, burn me down, put a bullet in my gizzard.

Come on, operate it.

We just came to Parley, sir. That's all.

That's correct, sir. Parley is always seeking.

Been a while since I met anyone who knew how to do things right and proper.

All right.

You give me a word.

If you're not here to do any mischief.

You're welcome.

You got it.

You got all pledge on us, sir.

My name is Wade.

Timothy Jared Wade.

We know that, sir.

Did you also know that my papi was Jed Wade?

The Jed Wade?

Gunfighter, sheriff of Madrid.

He was shot down on this very street by the notorious and black-hearted Jonathan Grayle.

Yes, sir, Mr. Wade.

We know that also.

Well...

No, I don't want to talk to the lieutenant governor.

I want to speak to the governor himself.

Yes, that's right.

Okay.

Well, that's what I have to do.

Yes, you can count on him.

Joe Conlon here.

What?

No, that's out of the question. Not a chance.

Ha!

That's it, Joe. No more calls.

No more business for at least ten minutes.

Excuse us, ma'am.

Ha!

Jonathan, you were something else.

You're always doing what I want to do.

We friends, Joe.

Sure, we're friends.

You've done a great job, and I really appreciate it.

I don't know.

I mean, really, friends.

Yes.

All right. All right.

What is this?

What are you so worried about, John?

Me.

This place, Joe.

This seat of power.

And exactly my usual stomping rod, you know.

Tell you the truth.

I feel as uncomfortable as hell.

We're sitting here stuffing ourselves like a pair of Chinese emperors.

The whole air conditioned, spanking clean.

I got a bunch of partners out there in the heat and the dust,

eating hard-tacking beans, protecting your investment, my dream.

I understand. I've felt it myself many times.

It's natural.

Feeling guilty about being the boss.

I'm not the boss.

They're my partners.

But you have the most experience.

You're like a big brother.

And you're here, and you feel guilty.

But on the other hand...

On the other hand, that's the danger, it's part.

On the other hand, it feels to downright good, you all this.

New territories, new ways of doing things,

and the way with all to do them.

You know, sometimes, Joe, I sit here and I see you pick up that damn telephone

and talk to the other side of the world.

Boom, things start moving for you.

Now I understand why you wanted to know if I was your friend.

Well, not to worry, Jonathan. I am your friend.

You're the only one around here amongst all these stuff shirts.

I can really talk to if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I suspect I do.

This seat of power, as you call it, can be strange territory.

I know I've been there.

But very soon now, you're going to feel just as comfortable here

as you want to spell out there.

Well, I, uh, I reckon that is what we're talking about here,

is progress, Mr. Mrs. Wade.

Progress.

Exactly.

But Mr. Pike's saying is exactly true.

Everyone will benefit from this new land development,

and you'll be paid quite well.

Right.

We don't know the exact amount.

But you can take our word for it. That it'll be a fair price.

And it's for a very good cause.

There's no conservation park we'll undoubtedly bring.

Ha ha, ha ha.

We know it, old Joe Conlon wants this land for..

I'm going to cure a sin, ain't for no state park.

Tim's telling you the truth, boys.

We like you.

But I'm afraid you're getting roped in on something that's, uh,

got more twists and turns than you first supposed.

Hey, hey, hey.

That's Danny Redmond, my attorney.

I called him while you were washing up.

Uh, Danny has all the details you'll fill ya in right quick.

I know this isn't what you guys want to hear,

but Timothy's absolutely correct.

And whoever told you different is misinformed.

To me and the Wade's been fighting this thing for over a year now.

You see, Conlon properties intends to construct

300-some-odd cracker box houses and condos on the land.

You guys have been defending.

No state park.

No state park.

What about this town? Madrid.

Shop and mall, stores, restaurants,

triplex movie house, that sort of thing.

It is big money.

Listen, check it out for yourselves.

Take a peek at a company named Half Moon Enterprises out of Dallas.

It's a front organization for the entire project.

The corporate president's name is Conlon.

Helena Conlon.

Don't you boys think it's about time?

You told me what happened down here in Madrid?

You first, brother Wolf?

Well, it all happened a few years after Graeel gave up his outlaw ways

and decided to become a loman.

Seems there's one Jeb Wade.

Sheriff of Madrid County?

Oh, it counts.

Well, stealing the citizens of Sid County.

Blind.

Reel was sent in to find out the truth and repair the damages,

however, the only problem with it was.

Jeb was an old friend of Graeels.

And he was in outlaw as well.

In many ways, a lot of like.

Reel and one Joseph Conlon, for instance.

Anyway, uh, Reel goes in.

True to form finds out the whys and the wherefors and what's going on.

And it's true.

Every single charge, Jeb Wade is being swallowed by his own power.

Right down Lucifer's gullet.

Reel had to stop him.

So they drew down on each other?

Middle of Main Street High Noon.

Graeels faster.

Yep.

Reel was faster.

And his fate would have it.

That old man that lives down there nowadays happens to be Jeb Wade's one and only child.

Ooh-ee.

I ain't got a sharp stick in the eye.

Half moon enterprises.

Now that's what that Redmond fella said.

He said you check on that, you're going to find proof of what he's been saying.

We have been used, John.

You, me, Bill.

Harland.

Would you consider the source of this information for a minute?

Would you mind doing that for me, please?

I have checked the source.

That is why I am here.

Timothy Wade and his wife, they're like us.

There are kind of people.

Yes.

I admit that this Redmond fella, they're attorney.

Now he's city bread, but he doesn't have it.

That's right.

He's Timothy Wade's attorney.

Don't you see that?

It's in his best interest to make Conlon properties the villain.

And you fell for it.

Harland and then Loya fellas are like that.

I've been here in Dallas long enough to learn that.

I can tell you.

Well, if you don't accept my judgment on these folks, John, then I don't...

It's not that Harland.

It's just you believe what people tell you too easy sometimes.

You got a big heart.

That's right.

And I remember who it was, told me how to use it.

Look into a man's eye, as you said.

Feel his handshake.

You'll know what's true, Harland.

You'll know.

Well, that's what I did.

Timothy Wade, his wife, and Redmond are telling the truth.

And all this is a lie.

A lie that you're believing, John.

You is that right.

That's the way you see it, is it?

Yeah.

That is the way I see it.

And the boys too.

You're hooked on all this.

You don't want to look at it too close.

For fear, you see it clear, then you have to give it up.

You know, it's just a curve to me.

That you and the boys are the ones with vision troubles.

Is that a fact?

That's a fact, isn't it?

Maybe you're the one who'd like to be up here.

Instead of out there.

A little bit of what they might call envy, Harland.

Well, I can speak for the others, John, and I can say we won't be working on this particular job any longer.

We will be helping to wage though.

And if you get a chance to check on what we've been saying here,

then you'll know where to find this.

In Madrid.

Outlaws will be back in a moment.

Hi.

Name's William Pike.

Friends call me Billy.

Yes.

Think I met your brother, Rob.

Name's Redmond.

Danny Redmond.

Oh, sure.

Yeah, you're the attorney fella.

This is your Dan Redmond.

Dan is a Wilson Lucas.

Hey, Thomas Redmond.

Yeah.

What is this thing anyway?

It looks like a portable roadblock from the Dark Ages.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's a work.

A newter than silks, a weeder than honey.

Good.

Oh, now if it ain't Dan Redmond, I'll be with you in a minute.

I got a little work here to do.

Bill, it's going to give me a hand.

Wilson?

What is all of this?

What's happening?

Rather, what's happening?

Well, we resign our positions with conlon properties.

Join the right side.

What do you expect in a war?

A man has to be prepared for battle even if it doesn't come.

And I'm afraid there's a very good chance, Mr. Redmond,

of this particular battle occurring.

And I do mean soon.

Conlon is a businessman.

Now, he's not going to risk everything by physically attacking this town.

What?

Does that sound naive or something?

He's got the police.

Mr. Redmond, the police will only arrive after the fact.

Now, all it would take to remove the obstacles, block, and conlon,

is one quick raid.

And they're gone.

Now, we are here to prevent that from happening.

Could you use a hand?

For too many favorite comic, Danny.

Glad to have you with us, Danny.

The lane I'll be with you in a moment, the Ashlands will understand.

I don't give a damn about the Ashlands, Joe.

It's grail.

It seems he's been a busy boy all afternoon, investigating us,

asking questions about half moon enterprises.

He got the address from payroll, told him he was tracing a lost check.

Oh, great. That's all we needed.

I just tried talking to him in the hallway.

He wouldn't even slow down to listen.

He didn't look at me, didn't speak to me.

He just walked right out of here with his ethical jaw marching half mile ahead of him.

And I know exactly where he's going.

Security? This is Mr. Common.

Have two men meet me right away at the half moon offices.

It's half moon ridge.

The water tank on half moon ridge. Down to Willahala.

This is a dusty road in here.

A great Texas.

First off, why don't you two fellas way outside?

I was going to tell you about this, John.

I thought you went on the whole half moon project.

You said you were my friend.

And I am.

You were too big for Flushing Liar.

You know what really disappoints me? You're a fool.

You think I stand by and allow this?

You think anybody can own me so easily? Did you?

One way or the other, Conlon properties is going to get Madrid.

I told him it was a mistake to trust your brain.

You're not the type to do the smart thing ever.

Listen to me, John, please.

Think straight on this. We talked about it the other day.

The power. What you, John, can make, Kaplan.

This project is just a stepping stone to much bigger things.

And money, money. Like you've only dreamed of for you and the others.

I mean, what do the ways really mean to me?

What do you for that matter? It's our people that are important.

Please, we can work together on this.

You know what amazes me? I feel sorry for you, Joe.

You had all the power.

And you just don't understand what to do with it.

Do you?

Where are you going? Going back to Madrid, Texas.

I'm going back to what I am. Going back to the people I belong with.

The people who mean nothing to you.

Graille!

You could have had it all. Everything.

You still can.

It ain't worth the price, lady.

Not now or ever.

We've got to stop him before he can join the others.

We've got to stop using diplomacy and start using muscle.

No.

He was very close to seeing things my way.

And then this had to happen.

He'll come around. He'll realize what's good for him.

Why? Because you did? I told you before, Graille isn't like you.

I'll find him. I'll talk to him. I'll convince him to listen to reason.

If we wait, we'll lose everything.

Everything!

Everything!

Give it up, Jet. Step away from it.

What can't be done, John? The cring's too rich, too tasty.

I've got something worth the fin to do.

I know you missed it.

I'm very talkative, are you?

My name's John. Smith.

I was waiting.

You're friend of Mr. Pike or some of the others.

I mean, you kind of got that look about you.

Yes, sir, Mr. Wade.

You could say that Mr. Smith is a friend of ours.

Mr. Pike, I discovered what you told me was the truth.

I was wrong.

I'd come here as fast as I could to lend a hand if you'll have me.

Well, it's a pleasure for us to see you could make it.

Welcome to Madrid, Mr. Smith.

When you called and said, come alone, I thought you was trying to con me.

So I brought the guys. Sorry.

No problem. I brought my guys, too.

I thought you should have brought a few more, Mrs. Conland.

I think these gentlemen will be more than enough, don't you?

What do you want?

What did you call them?

Cowboy Renacops?

This is your chance to pay them back.

You'll create the diversion while my friends here, Ham and McDonald,

take care of the heavy stuff. Do we have a deal?

It'll be a pleasure, ma'am.

Orange Sheriff?

What?

That's what you looked like, Sonny.

I'm Sheriff with a long nights patrol behind you and looking forward to a nice hot cup of Java.

I could use the hot coffee, that's for certain.

A little woman's making a pot now and some breakfast.

Something trouble on you, Tim?

I saw my papi killed here in a legendary shootout with a man named Graille.

I was just a shaver, but somehow you boys have brought the whole thing back to life again.

I can almost hear the sound of gunfire, and it's getting closer.

Graille!

Elizabeth thinks we should just take Conland's offer and get on out of here,

and I kind of feel the same way myself sometimes.

But then am I?

Then you lose the feeling?

I know.

You'd like to take the easy way?

But then if you plant your feet and go for the harder thing, it means something, don't it?

That's exactly it.

Kind of old-fashioned, right?

Right.

I never was any good at being modern.

I got my own way of looking at things, and the Lord knows it's almost always out of step with the primes.

I was in the army.

Well, long time ago.

I left home and saw a lot of the world, but I came back here because there's something magical about this place to be.

And the magic started. On the day my daddy went down in the history books.

Yep, that gunfight was the last real honest a god showed down in the west.

And that means something.

And this town means something because it's history.

And I guess I'm history.

I haven't got much longer.

But then where did it all go?

What will happen to the magic?

No, John.

I gotta hang on as long as I can.

Fight until...

item all the way.

Come on, let's get some of that breakfast into his Timothy.

Now talk to Elizabeth. He's her mind, sir.

Hey, Sarah.

We got company!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Behind you, boys.

Cover!

Harlan, you all right?

I've been better.

Wilson, Harlan, cover me!

All right! Go!

You ain't gonna say this place in the world, mister.

Come on!

Go!

Looks like we're making history again.

Dickson, stay back! Stay back!

Stay down! Come on, man!

They're just fucking out here!

No!

Come on, man!

You wanna show down?

No, Billy. Wilson? Harlan?

I play.

I play.

I play.

Damn you, braille.

The human heart is truly a strange thing, isn't it?

It is, Joe.

I understand everything Elena did, and yet I know that if she wants it, then I'll be waiting.

We had something, something good.

You'll be there again when you need it, Joe.

I feel free again.

Full of bright possibilities. Strip to the past.

All?

Well, then welcome.

Because I know exactly what you're talking about.

Ms. Wade, thank you.

Nonsense. We should be thanking you. All of you.

That's the Lord's honest truth.

You boys brought it all back for me. You made my dream a real dog-gone thing.

And no time at all, old Madrid, Texas, will be bursting, it seems, with tourists.

And I write lists.

Full of life again. The sound of people. Children.

Oh.

God bless you, man. Tim.

You ought to see yourselves, Sheriff.

Full of the brim with doo-good.

Hey, I can preach here to win.

This here bill reminds me of one daddy who tried to play Santa Claus.

Oh, no. He didn't tell you, John.

I have.

These fellows couldn't get to me. If they tried, on purpose, for a week.

That's a good thing.

That's a fine bunch of boys.

I'm going to miss that, Jonathan Grayell.

Yes, sir.

Now stay tuned to Zwend 11 Stars.

In an unforgettable story of love, courage, and determination, a place to call home.

Tomorrow on CBS Sports, the 37th annual NBA All-Star Game.
