- Morning, sheriff. - Morning.

- Sheriff. Hey, sheriff. - Morning, folks.

You know, the great thing about a hand of cards, it's like love.

Hope Springs eternal.

That's a lot safer when you people are

in church Sunday morning.

Buenos dias, sheriff.

Isabel.

Time for church, son.

Hey, pa, I got a really good hand. I just...

I said it's time for church, son.

Pa, I was to just finish this hand off

because I'm a little behind right now.

I'm about to pull ahead.

Right? Don't you get up because I'm about to...

- Jimmy. - I'm about to take him out.

Jimmy.

Orar, Jimmy.

He's right. It's Sunday. Andale, bye. Orar.

Andale, mijo.

[Coinsjingle]

He's missing his...

Missing his mama something real bad.

Kind of lost.

He needs to grieve in his own way.

Yeah. Yeah.

Robert: Emma!

Emma, where are you?!

Emma, come look what I got!

Emma!

There you are. There you are.

Look.

You see that?

I told you.

I told you I'd find it, didn't I?

And I found it.

These big ones here, they need purifying.

This, though, is pure gold. Straight from the ground.

We're rich, baby.

Rich beyond our beliefs. Richer than anyone.

After all this time, we're rich.

Can you believe it? We're rich!

Come on, rooster!

Where are you going?

To town. I just struck gold.

Come on! Yee-ha!

[Hooves clopping]

I when the storms of life are raging I

I stand behind me I

I when the storms of life are raging I

I stand by me I

I when the world is tossing me I

I like a ship upon the sea I

I I will rule this wind and water, stand by me I

very good. Very good. Sit.

[Horse approaching]

- Ma'am. - Morning.

What are those?

Shadows, prayers.

Memories some of them.

Others, hopes.

What's his name?

Barbary.

Barbary.

How long are you going to board him?

Will I find friends here?

Or will I need him saddled and ready to fly?

My friends own the saloon.

If there are friends to be found, you'll find them there.

Man: What does he think he's doing?

[Indistinct chatter]

[Piano playing]

[ Piano, chatter stops]

[Piano resumes]

I'd give all my fame for a pint of ale and safety.

Safety?

Cowards die many times before their death.

The Valiant never taste of death but once.

Of all the wonders I yet have heard,

it seems most strange that men should fear,

that seeing death.

A necessary end will come when...

When it will come.

[Chuckles]

Virginia.

Where are you from?

You gonna a while, or you just passing through?

Cicero: What man can know the morrow?

'Tis but chance, determined less by will

than circumstance.

What's that mean?

That is poetry, Ginny.

And best be careful with that around here.

Folks like knowing what you're talking about.

Ginny: I think it's pretty.

I want to talk to you this morning

about two kinds of riches.

Gold, which you all came here to find, and grace.

So what is this grace?

What do we mean when we speak of it?

It is said that grace is none other

than the source and inspiration of the divine

working within us to inspire our most virtuous impulses.

So while you're hammering away at that unforgiving mountain,

you remember earthly gold without divine grace

is a fool's gold and brings you nothing

but destruction and disaster.

[Gunshot]

- Whoo-hoo! - [ Gunshots ]

Yeah! Everybody!

Listen up! I just found gold!

Whoo!

Everybody! I saved the town! It's a miracle!

Thaddeus: It's all right, people.

Whoo! Yee-haw! Everyone get on out here!

You in church on Sunday or what? Where are you, baby?

Hey, dunnigan, you're disturbing the peace.

Oh, I aim to disturb more than the peace, sheriff.

I just struck gold!

- [ Gunshot ] - Yee-haw!

Come on, get on out here!

What are you doing?

Whoo!

Come on, get on out here. Get in here, everyone!

[Gunshot]

Come for a drink?

- [ Gunshot ] - No, sheriff.

I don't think so.

[Yelping]

How rich are you?

- We're rich. - [ Laughs ]

Woman: Think there'll be a little for me?

Isabel: Careful. He knows what he came here for.

Alright, everyone, you get in here.

Come on, grab a drink. Drinks are on me!

[Cheering]

Edgar: What lies have you told them?

Robert: Hey, Edgar, what do you think?

You think that covers a round for the whole town?

[Cheering]

What do you think? You think I'm going to fall

for that kind of sucking... Holy shit.

God damn it. Mickey. Mickey.

I'm pourin' drinks!

[Cheering]

Did you blow the hillside?

Is that what I heard this morning?

Ah, yeah, I had a feeling. Just a feeling.

That stubborn wife of mine kept telling me

"there's no way it's going to pay off."

Quit, she says, let's move to Oregon.

If you move to Oregon, I kill you.

Well, I ain't moving to Oregon!

I told her, "Emma, shut your mouth because I know,

I just know."

And I came to town looking for that dynamite.

You remember that, don't you, wilcox?

I certainly do.

You told me I didn't have no money for no dynamite.

And you was right.

So I traded you my daddy's old pocket watch.

Got it right here.

Robert: And you gave me a little extra dynamite for good luck.

And I don't forget that.

So, uh, tell you what I'm going to do.

I'm gonna offer to buy back that gold watch

for a nice little profit on your end.

How's that sound?

Well, I'll be god damned.

[Laughs]

Whoo!

Because I blew that dynamite.

Oh, lordy. What she gave me was

more gold than you ever seen your life.

It's gonna take a lot of work getting it out the ground now.

We need to build a new mine, which means all y'all

wants it is gonna have a job for years to come I reckon.

- Yeah! - Yeah!

[Cheering]

All the folks who left town

are gonna be coming back.

And all the windows covered in boards

will be full of fancy things to buy again.

Hey, Edgar, that theater you never finished building,

you better practice your life, partner,

because you'll be up on stage

shouting Shakespeare before you know it.

- [ Cheering ] - Some people are born great.

Some people achieve greatness.

And some people have greatness thrust upon them.

Robert: I told you they've been practicing lines! [Laughs]

To our town!

- To our town! - To our town!

And the boom we've been waiting for.

[Cheering]

Yeah!

Horse shit, dunnigan! I hear a lot of big talk,

and I don't like it.

See ya pay up bar keep Edgar, taking care your whore Isabel,

looking out for the general provisions,

wilcox on that tethered watch of yours.

What about you owes to me on what you lost

- at that table, huh? - All right, nowjust...

Edgar, you got no stake in this!

What about the owes you lost to me?

Well, way I see it, those wasn't fair games

to begin with, Harding, so I reckon I don't owe you.

Don't. We're celebrating.

I won't tolerate it!

Man strikes gold, suddenly thinks he can do

anything he wants!

You owe me, and I aims to collect.

What, you want to dance?

Whoa.

[Gun clicks]

You put your finger near that trigger,

and I'll shoot you between the two eyes.

Dunnigan, you sat down to play cards, you lost.

You sat down to play again, you lost again.

Man accuses you of cheating, you call him out there and then,

not when he expects you to pay his marker.

Now pay him.

All right.

Mickey.

Musica.

[Piano plays]

[Clamoring]

Enjoy!

[Moaning]

Aye, papi! Aye, aye, aye!

Oh!

Aye, papi, si.

[Laughs]

[Laughs]

[Sighs]

[Speaking Spanish]

I don't know.

Spent so long trying to find that gold.

Never really thought about what I'd do

when I did find it.

What are you gonna do with it?

- Paris. - [ Chuckles ]

Aschool.

Para iOS ninos.

[Speaking Spanish]

Well, why don't we do both?

[Laughs]

Ah!

Oh!

It was a good sermon.

I'm living the parable of the sower, Alice.

And all my seeds fall on rocky soil.

Well, in the parable of the sower, it doesn't matter.

The whole point is to tell the truth anyway,

and then leave it to god to soften their hearts

so they'll listen.

And anyway, I'm not rocky soil.

I hear every word you say,

and every word makes me love you more.

[Giggles]

I darling, oh, my darling I

I oh, my darling Clementine I

I you were lost and gone forever I

I dreadful sorrow, Clementine I

I took a stick of dynamite I

j'and lit it up to blow a hole I

I my luck sure is changing I

I I can smell I

[gunshot]

[Horse neighs]

Rooster!

Who's there?! Who's there?!

Come on out!

Harding, is that you?!

You killed rooster, you son of a bitch!

You want my gold, you come and get it, alright?!

Come fight me like a man!

[Gunshots]

Where are you?

Where are you?! Ah!

[ Groans ]

[Grunts]

[Knife slices]

[Birds chirping]

"I swept away your offenses like a cloud, your dreams

like morning mist.

Return to me, for I have redeemed you."

Isaiah 44:22.

Muy bien, Carissa.

Everything's going to change with the mine running,

people coming back.

Maybe some man will make me an honest woman again.

Men don't look for wives in a whorehouse, Ginny.

When they want to get married, they'll go to a church.

Well, that's why miss Alice is here,

to make this feel more like a church.

Would you like to get married someday?

If he was kind and gentle and treated me nice.

Well, I'm never going to marry a man.

I know what they're like.

You just haven't met the right one.

Isabel would. She'd marry Robert dunnigan.

But he is already married.

Well, if it is a sin to love a married man,

god will forgive me.

Is that true? If he's married.

The only sin is to turn away from god.

And if we look to him, then sinful things,

they seem less tempting.

Well, I do hope the lord will forgive me,

but I do know the smart one somewhere

ain't finished her chores yet.

[Laughs]

- Josephine. - Get it done.

[ Groans ]

We got nobody to make a casket. Can you do it?

Give him a proper funeral.

Who would do a thing like this?

[Speaking Spanish]

[Sobbing]

Sheriff ambrose, whoever did this,

I hope he dies just like this!

Only one man in town don't know what I'm going to do to him.

Rise and shine.

- Check those drawers. - Got it.

We got gold.

Where'd you get this?

Lock him up.

Hey! Ah!

[ Gasps ]

Get!

- You just made a mistake, boy! - Come on!

Get down.

- Yeah. You did it, boy. - I did not do it.

You did it, caught red handed.

Get in there.

Oh!

You think you can bloody my face? Hm?

You want to fight, go on, strike me again.

Get up.

Come on, get up.

[Grunts]

Oh, come on.

[Grunting]

He attacked officers of the law.

Then follow the goddamned law.

Let me tell you something about this town.

You know, folks came here because they wanted something

better, a better life.

And for a while, when the mine was running,

they had it.

Then the mine collapsed,

took all the gold and half the men with it.

And, uh, that's the kind of thing

that makes a town lose hope.

And yesterday, Robert dunnigan strikes gold.

But it's more than one strike.

It gives people who have nothing

something to live for.

So you didn't just kill a man yesterday.

Do you understand me?

You killed hope.

And it's my job to get it back because this,

this is my town.

And these people, good or bad, wise, greedy, whatever they are,

doesn't matter.

They're my people.

So, I want you to confess to the whole town.

And if you do, I'll ask the magistrate to save your life.

But if you don't,

I will prove in court that you are a killer.

And when they hang you,

I'll be the man who strings you up.

You understand me?

[Pick axe thudding]

[ Footsteps approach ]

When will you have the funeral?

Thaddeus: Soon.

So what? Until then, he just stays here?

Thaddeus: I'll take him outside if it starts to stink.

He's a man, not an "it."

Robert dunnigan is gone.

Now, what's right there is just a heap of flesh.

What's the matter?

He just seems so much smaller

than when he was alive.

It's like he's shrunken.

[Indistinct singing]

[All singing drunkenly]

[Indistinct chatter]

[Knock on door]

[Door opens]

Finally.

Horses all right?

They're quiet.

It's just that...

That man...

His horse.

He left me his horse.

And his saddle.

So how could it be the one that killed Robert dunnigan?

How'd he get there with no horse?

You ask a fine question, Violet.

But maybe a better question is,

how'd he get a hold of a dead man's gold?

I just have a feeling. I can't say...

O'Sullivan: What does your feeling say about my face?

Jimmy's arm?

My arm is fine.

There'll be a trial, or he'll confess.

Thank you for coming by, Violet.

[Door opens]

[Horse neighs]

I'm going to go visit the prisoner.

I'll go.

You don't feel for it the same way I do.

Preaching is one thing, but ministering,

that's something else.

[Gunshot]

[Gunshot]

That's Josephine.

You know, she could use a little ministering, too.

[ Chuckles ] What she could use is a father.

Or someone like that to look up to.

Well...

Yeah. Yes, dear.

[Sighs]

Thaddeus: You shouldn't be shooting at graves.

Ain't like I'm hitting it.

Thaddeus: That's because you're trying too hard.

Getting ready for the gun to fire.

Thinking about the violence.

It is violent. It's a rifle.

On this end.

Not on this one.

What do you know about guns?

You get to quiet those hands, come on.

Tuck it in there.

And don't hold your breath

when you're getting ready to shoot.

All right?

Don't let the violence unsettle you.

It just pulls you forward and ruins your aim, okay?

[Gunshot]

Ain't there's somewhere better around here we can shoot?

That man killed my father.

Go ahead, then.

Now do like I told you.

[Gunshot]

[Horse neighs]

Let's set 'em up.

O'Sullivan: Violet?

Sheriff says for you to come with us.

Bring a horse for her to ride back on and a mule.

- Doesn't belong to you. - Oh. Sorry.

Ah. Mrs. Murphy.

Good afternoon, sheriff.

I came to pray with the prisoner.

Ah, well, never heard of a man confessing on a full stomach,

Mrs. Murphy.

My mother used to say, we pray better before a meal,

but we hear god better after.

Well, don't want to stand in the way of a good prayer.

- I'll be right outside. - Mm-hmm.

It's rabbit.

- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

What's your name?

Cicero.

And your family name?

I have no family.

Well, somebody must have raised you.

I was raised by myself.

Know the wind.

I go by the name I chose.

Cicero.

After the philosopher?

It's from a play.

Cicero spoke for brutus

when Mark Antony gave his famous speech.

"Friends, romans, countrymen, lend me your ears."

He spoke for the republic.

I've thought I would like to be the one to make that speech.

Violet: These tracks, they're fresh.

Somebody's been here.

You stay back.

Ain't no telling what we're going to find.

[ Rifle cocks ]

You stay here, Jimmy.

I ain't staying here.

I don't need your pa thinking I got you killed.

I could be the one that saves your life.

Oh, shit.

[Gunshot]

Get down!

[Gunshot]

How are we going to get down there?

I don't know.

Mrs. Dunnigan!

Mrs. Dunnigan!

Is that you shootin' at us?

Emma: What are you doing here?

Come to take you to town.

Emma: Why you got your guns out?

Somebody killed your husband.

O'Sullivan: Violet!

Violet, where you gone?

Emma: I told him we should leave, but he wouldn't listen.

All he cared about...

Now what am I supposed to do?

Pa said we're supposed to take you back to town.

Got the man who did it in jail there.

I don't... I don't want to go to town.

Everybody looking at me, wondering about me.

Him dead. All that gold. I...

I want to get as far away from this place as I can.

It seems like you can do anything you want now,

Ms. Dunnigan.

It is an evil place.

Cruel.

When does the stage leave? I want to be on it and...

Never come back.

Mail comes in a couple of days.

Let's pack the mule.

[Indistinct chatter]

Woman: So sad.

[ Footsteps approach ]

His name is Cicero.

He named himself after a character in "Julius Caesar."

He said he wanted to give a speech,

but his speech happens off stage.

- Off stage? - Mm-hmm.

He took a beating. He was thirsty and hungry.

Man's in jail for murder.

I know, but they way he speaks, it's more like a teacher

than a man that you would expect to see behind bars.

I just can't believe that he is the one

who killed Robert dunnigan.

I looked right into his eyes.

Now, now.

Just because a man looks innocent...

Does not make it so.

Well, believing god is real doesn't make it so either.

But it is so.

I talked to him. That killer.

I need to think he's going to hang.

He deserves much worse than hanging.

You wouldn't think that if it were any man

other than dunnigan.

But it was dunnigan

I know he was never going to leave his wife and marry me.

But he would have given me some of that gold.

I could have sent Josephine to a good school,

where she'd grow up proper.

I would have kept any gold he gave me.

She's not blood to you.

Isabel: She's as good as blood.

I made her father a promise.

And I always keep my promises.

One day, the children I take care of will be grown.

They'll have lives and families.

And I will have done something with my life I can be proud of.

Edgar says what happened in the dakotas changed her,

that she's not entirely of this world no more.

Violet has been through a lot. She deserves our respect.

[Birds chirping]

[Hooves clopping]

[Horse neighs]

[Singing in Spanish]

[Sighs]

What's he going to do?

Best get ready to pay up, Harding.

Feeling handy, are ya?

I'll parlay.

Oh, hell.

Shit.

Let's go upstairs.

[Singing in Spanish]

[ Song ends ]

Evening, Ms. Dunnigan.

Everybody's looking at me.

You... you just hold your head high.

They'll be looking at you wherever you go.

Josephine, can you get us some silver, please?

- Thank you. - Evening, Ms. Dunnigan.

Evening.

So, uh, are you, uh...

Are you comfortable in your room?

It's fine.

Anything that you... that you need, anything that you want,

just you can tell Jimmy, my son, here, and, uh...

[Singing in Spanish]

Jim: I'm truly sorry about what happened to...

To your husband, Mrs. Dunnigan.

He... he was a wild man,

but a good one in the ways that matter.

And you can be sure that whoever did this

will pay a very dear price.

Which one of them was his favorite?

He always came back from town smelling like perfume.

Always the same scent.

Everyone has his faults, Mrs. Dunnigan.

But some of them have qualities that redeem them, too.

I think that when a man passes on,

it's best to remember his better nature.

Don't you think?

Just...

The first thing he did when he found that gold

was run off to town, and I...

I keep thinking if... it he'd stayed there with me,

he might still be alive.

Yeah.

[Singing in Spanish]

Thaddeus: Violet?

Violet: I'm sorry.

That man, the one they have in jail,

he's not this man's killer.

I found this.

Alice: What is it?

Man who loves her wrote this.

He'll send an innocent man to the gallows.

Alice: Mrs. Dunnigan has a lover.

Thaddeus.

[Sighs]

Little late for a visit, ain't it?

[Chuckles]

Marie laveau.

She's a voodoo queen. Hm?

Black magic.

Sign of the devil.

You know its name, but not what it beckons.

It never conjured Satan for me.

Then why'd they beat you up?

O'Sullivan: Think it ain't Christian

to punish someone like that?

Killed a man.

He's a murderer, preacher.

When I'm sheriff, a man like him be hanging from a rope already.

Did you kill him?

Robert dunnigan.

Did you?

I say I am innocent.

I saw that man celebrating when he found his gold.

The saloon keeper was generous with his whiskey.

Maybe because I had money.

Maybe because we both know the plays of Shakespeare.

And I could not keep my eyes open.

I was lucky to make it back to my bed.

You talk like an educated man.

Ah, good evening, preacher.

I just came to offer my condolences.

It's a tragic thing, Ms. Dunnigan,

what happened to your husband.

Tragic.

This was his.

I thought to return it to you.

Thank you.

I-I see the grave's dug. Are you going to Bury him soon?

Oh, uh, whenever you wish, ma'am.

I want to leave when the mail stage comes.

We can Bury him tomorrow.

Are you, uh... are you leaving for good then, Mrs. Dunnigan?

This was my husband's place, not mine.

Yeah, I can sell the claim.

I know that, and...

Go some place, see if I can ever feel human again.

I want to go. I'm sorry.

Jimmy. Jimmy, you stand outside the boarding house,

make sure nobody gets in.

Just so that you have a safe sleep, Mrs. Dunnigan.

Thank you, sheriff.

Preacher. Good night.

Ma'am.

Soon as fortune smiles upon him, tragedy strikes.

[Violin plays]

You, uh, care to have a drink with me?

Where'd you get this?

Violet.

She found it at dunnigan's shack.

You're not trying to take my job from me, are you, preacher?

You don't see me jumping into the pulpit.

Well, my job would be to seek the truth, sheriff.

Whether or not that leads you to what you think you'll find.

Well, my truth is that the man that I have in that jail

over there is the man who killed Robert dunnigan.

Yeah.

But he doesn't seem like a murderer, does he?

Well, why don't you have a real drink, preacher?

No, no.

Don't drink. I'll take some sugar, though.

Thank you, Josephine.

You know, a few years back, there was a land dispute,

left one man dead, and the accused

was a man called William McCoy.

Well, anyway, I had to bring him in.

He was a nice man.

And, um, I didn't know much about being a law man

at that time.

I was just out of the army.

But I got to like it.

Again, thinking to myself, maybe... maybe it wasn't murder.

Maybe it was an accident. Maybe he's not guilty.

Anyway, one night, my wife was bringing over

some supper at the jail, and I'd let him out of his cell.

We were playing cards.

And he took advantage of the situation to go for my gun.

And it went off.

And I grabbed him, and I...

I, uh, took out my other pistol and...

I shot him.

What I didn't realize when all the mayhem had calmed down

was that my wife was lying on the floor

with a bullet in her chest.

I went over to her, and I took her in my arms.

I tried to talk to her and bring her back, but...

But she was gone.

So what I'm saying is that I know that that man over there

is the man who killed Robert dunnigan,

and I will not let him go just because he doesn't

seem like a killer, preacher.

Everything quiet?

Yeah. No one going in, no one coming out.

Violet running horse went out to the dunnigan place.

Why did she do that?

She, uh... she found a letter, kind of love letter.

Guess someone's trying to get close to Mrs. Dunnigan.

I want you to keep your eyes peeled

just in case she shows up here.

[Humming softly]

I have a warm heart, comfortable bed.

Both in need of company.

If you want me in a bed, you know where to find me.

And how much it'll cost you.

Good night, Harding.

Go to hell, wilcox.

Oh, yeah.

Whoo, whoo.

Mm, shit. Oh, shit.

[Moaning]

Whoo.

[Moaning]

[Horse neighs]

[Hooves clopping]

[Indistinct talking]

O'Sullivan: Come on, Jimmy. Let's saddle up.

Jim: Preacher.

Didn't seem like he was a killer?

Why don't you go in the livery and see what he did?

And while you're at it, dig another grave.

Come on, let's go.

Hyah, hyah.

You know me and Edgar first found Violet in the dakotas.

We was moving west ourselves.

Her band had been killed by our soldiers, slaughtered.

All of them, just plumb through the last frail elder.

So we dug them graves.

To lay them to rest with dignity.

I lifted her to put her in the ground, and they, lord,

I felt her heart was far away.

Like she was already gone.

It's coming from the other side of death.

Do you think death does that when people get too close?

Leave a fine layer of dust on 'em?

Mickey: But I thought of her as my daughter.

You know, we never had a child of our own,

and it just made me so happy to see her with them horses.

Gonna come go Bury in the cemetery, won't you?

Like a Christian.

I didn't know she was one.

Then again...

I don't know no one who is.

Not really.

We'll Bury her.

Okay?

I just want to see her grave pretty.

Plenty of flowers alongside other graves.

Okay, sweetie.

He's gonna get you right now.

Hey, Josephine. There you are.

I've been looking high and low for you.

It's Violet.

That killer's free.

So none of us is safe.

Do you understand me?

Si, Tia.

Let's go.

Hyah!

Hyah!

[Gunshots]

Hyah, hyah!

[Gunshot]

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

Hyah!

[Gunshots]

[ Groans ]

Hyah!

[ Groans ]

What happened?

He escaped.

Thank you.

But she was the one that thought he was innocent.

She was the one that found the letter.

Thaddeus: Yeah. I don't know.

Maybe he tried to get his horse back.

She tried to stop him.

Why would she do that?

I don't know.

I don't know that he killed her, and I don't know that he didn't.

Well, what are you going to do?

- What am I going to do? - Mm-hmm.

I'm going to build a coffin.

I'm going to dig another grave.

And I'm gonna put her in it.

And I am going to pray for her soul to heaven.

Was anyone standing guard?

Yeah. O'Sullivan.

Wasn't doing his job.

Well, is he still alive?

Why would he leave alive a man who would chase him down

and then kill a woman who tried to set him free?

That would be the sheriff's job.

My job is to look after the souls of this town.

Thaddeus Murphy.

God put us here for a reason.

And now a prayer for Robert dunnigan.

[Bell chimes]

[Cicero gasps]

[ Groans ]

Sheriff, he ain't got no horse, and I hit him.

I know I hit him, sheriff.

Sheriff, are we going to head back out at dawn?

Sheriff, sheriff, is this necessary?

- You let him escape. - Please.

Now you're going to take his place.

[Sighs ] Come on.

Look, Jim.

Dammit!

[Piano playing]

We brought that tune with us from inglorious south.

And singing together for her.

We made friends out of former enemies.

That was the miracle of the Montana territory.

He used to sing it to her.

I used to watch him.

She loved it.

That was a real love.

Josephine, when you going to start working like you're prone?

I ain't.

Bet you'd be just as good as her.

I ain't, Harding.

Oh, you hear that, Isabel?

Your little stray cat thinks she's better than you are.

She'll see there ain't no better life than this.

Besides, who's going to marry her,

coming from a place like this?

Watch your filthy mouth.

Is that right?

You heard me.

You gonna get me straight, preacher man?

Believe if I wanted to be told what to do by you,

I'd find myself a church.

Besides, we're all just having a big time.

Who else is going to teach young Josephine how to whore, huh?

You leave Josephine out of this.

She's just a kid.

What happened to her daddy is not her fault.

Now, why don't you just do what the preacher says

and shut your goddamn mouth?

You join me in a drink?

You know, sheriff, maybe I will.

That man was my prisoner that got way.

Edgar, I'm so sorry about what happened to Violet.

We're all sorry.

Gentlemen.

To grace.

- To grace. - To grace.

Sometimes it seems like a very long way away.

Edgar: Hm.

You smell like whiskey.

[ Gasps ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Moans ]

[Door hinges creak]

[ Gasps ] What was that?

Stay here.

Anybody comes in here that's not me, you shoot 'em.

I can't shoot a man.

It's just like shooting a rabbit, only easier to hit.

Alice!

Give me a rag.

[ Groans ]

Aah!

[ Groans ]

Where did you learn how to do that?

[ Groans ]

[Sighs]

[Gun clicks]

[Grunts]

What are you doing?

[Grunts]

Thaddeus! Answer me.

[Grunts]

Those guns of his are peacemakers.

Why are you digging?

The bullet that killed Robert dunnigan

is still in his body.

And if it's not from a peacemaker,

I can clear his name.

And we won't be harboring a fugitive.

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

[Footsteps approaching]

[Gun cocks]

[Sighs]

[Speaking Spanish]

What are you doing here?

Por favor. Andale.

It's late, Jimmy.

Vaya.

Hey.

[Speaking Spanish]

But be quick.

And quiet.

[Speaking Spanish]

Andale.

Jimmy.

Jimmy, Jimmy!

[ Gags ]

Jimmy!

[ Groans ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Gasps ]

[Gurgling]

Isabel, is that you?

Edgan

Edgar?

I'll go.

Edgar: Isabel, it's little late to be knocking boots.

[Groans ] Stubborn old son of a bitch.

[Grunts]

No, no, no, no!

Dear sweet Edgar!

- Jimmy? - Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Huh?

What happened?

Jimmy: I did it. I did it.

Just like you told me to do it.

I did it, and it's done.

It's done.

Edgar was there.

- Did he see you? - No.

But she did... she was... [Speaking indistinctly]

She was looking right into my eyes.

Geez, I've known her since I was a kid,

and she's the only other person

I've ever been with before I met you.

Hey.

Then you met me,

in every way.

Come here.

You are... You are a man of action.

Yeah. You know.

What happens now? What about Josephine?

What is she going to do without her mom?

It's done now.

Yeah. Yeah, it's done.

As long as they don't catch me and hang me from a tree.

Hey, shh. Your daddy is never...

He's never gonna think his own boy would do these things, huh?

Now, tomorrow noon, I'm going to be on that coach.

And what are you going to tell your daddy, hm?

I'm gonna tell him that I'm gonna go out

and make a life for myself.

- Yeah. - Out on my own.

-Mm-hmm.

And then what are you going to do?

- I'm going to come find you. - Uh-huh.

- You. - Yeah.

Yeah.

And we're going to be together, huh?

Yeah. Yeah.

You should... You should have left already.

I told you should have left already. I told you.

I got to leave on that stage, or people are going to wonder.

Now you listen to me.

Jimmy, you're going to come later, and you're not going to

tell anybody what we done.

You hear me?

Look at me.

Come here, Jimmy.

We're gonna be happy.

We're going to have more gold than you could spend

in 10 lifetimes.

Yeah.

And we'll go some place where nobody knows who we are.

Then you can have me any time you want.

Any way you want me.

I know.

I know you.

Yeah. Uh-huh.

Have some water. Have some water, partner.

- Yeah. - Come on.

He hit you right in the head.

I ain't staying here.

This ain't right, Edgar.

Mickey.

I know what you're thinking.

I do.

You think that we have to say what we saw.

I know it hurts you.

It hurts me, too.

[ Groans ]

Okay, lie down, Edgar, and be quiet for just a second.

- You know... - No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Now, you listen to me.

They know about us.

They do.

They pretend that they don't, but they always do.

And if don't say what we know you saw...

-No, no, no, -it's not right, Edgar.

We can't take on a fight we can't win.

And you know when all this is over,

we're going to have to be here

when the town really needs us.

Okay.

Okay, old man.

I'll do what I have to do for us.

You're the best.

I got you, buddy.

What're you gonna do, sheriff?

Sheriff? Sheriff?

Tia! Isabel!

4sabeh

no, child.

Isabel!

Sheriff, come on! Ain't I been here long enough?!

Shut up, O'Sullivan.

Are you going to let me out here?

Isabel Santos is dead, and it's on your head.

Do you understand me?

Do you understand?

O'Sullivan: Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sorry, sheriff.

Jim: Let him out, Jimmy.

I'm going to put this killer in the ground.

And any man who rides with me gets $20.

Any man who puts a bullet in him, gets that.

And I'm going to judge every one of you

by whether you stand with me or not.

That includes you, Mickey.

Sheriff, look at all the men you have.

You know why you have a place here?

- Yeah, I... - When town calls, you answer.

Get a goddamn gun.

What's in it for me, sheriff?

Listen, sheriff.

[Gasps ] The smell.

Ugh!

I think... I think I feel it.

I'm going to need you to come here and hold this open.

What?

Oh, no, no, no, I cannot.

[ Groans ]

Good girl.

Pull that apart.

Go ahead. Just hold it open.

You're going to have to dig your fingers in there.

Need you to pull it apart.

[Squelching]

- [ Gasps, groans] - Good, good.

I think I...

I think I feel it. [ Groans]

- [ Grunts ] - Get it.

[ Gasps ]

What is it? What do you see?

That's not from a peacemaker.

Well...

Well, how do you even know the difference?

I mean... I mean... I mean, it's inside of a man's body.

Thaddeus, what is going on?

Thaddeus, what are you hiding from me?

There was a time

not too long ago

that I wore one of these.

And every sin I preach against I'm guilty of.

I come to god because I was running.

Okay?

I was running from the devil.

Now, I left that life.

The day I met you, I left it for good.

I thought I could hide.

But now the devil saw me.

And...

He's a coming.

This was the bullet that shot Robert dunnigan.

And I know it wasn't you who shot him.

I've known men like your sheriff,

good in their minds, honorable, wrong,

and do righteous to be right.

You're safe here. It's a church.

Preacher?

[ Gasps ]

Hide.

Alice: Here.

Jim: Preacher?

So much for your divine grace.

Why her?

Well, I'll be sure to ask him when I catch him.

Search every house, every camp.

He's here somewhere.

Move. Go.

[Gun cocks]

[Knock on door]

[Door hinges creak]

Hello, Mrs. Murphy.

You doing, uh... doing a spot of cleaning?

Alice: I am.

My instinct tells me that there's got to be

a rational explanation for this.

I, uh...

- Sheriff. - I...

Mind telling me why there's a dead body on your floor?

Come, sit.

I asked you a question.

I expect you to answer like anybody else.

I took this bullet out of that body.

I wanted to be sure you had the right man.

The prisoner shoots a peacemaker.

That bullet came from a Colt Navy.

It takes a lot of shooting to know one bullet from another.

Your men are chasing an innocent man.

Let me tell you about justice the way I see it.

This isn't about Robert dunnigan.

Not even about the man who killed him.

It's about everyone else.

You kill a man in this town,

everybody knows there's a price to be paid.

Dunnigan, what does he care?

He's dead.

What matters is this town.

Law and order.

And what about the truth?

I'll do everything I need to do

to ensure that justice is seen to be done.

Thaddeus: Uh-huh.

What happens when, not if, but when another man is killed?

I'd get that body back in the grave.

It's beginning to stink.

Jimmy! O'Sullivan!

O'Sullivan: Search every building.

[Shouting indistinctly]

Hope god compels our fates to be intertwined.

God does compel our fate.

It was him who brought you here.

Thaddeus: That's all we got?

Okay.

You any good with these?

I've searched for a place I can be at peace since the war.

Since I was set free.

I'm as good as I've needed to be.

And you?

Better than I ought to have been.

It's just like shooting a rabbit, right?

Pick that up.

You drop that, pick it up.

Load up! Load up!

[ Rifle cocks ]

It looks like they're going to war.

[Footsteps approaching]

Forgive me.

I'm here from the prisoner.

What makes you so sure he's here?

Be careful. Do not lie to me.

Ain't befitting a man of god.

Ain't befitting a man of law either.

He's an innocent man. His gun did not kill dunnigan.

You chase him down, you're all murderers.

Search the place.

Oh, ho! This is a house of god.

You won't be bringing your violence in here.

Arrest him.

O'Sullivan, take him to jail.

All right.

Hey, hey!

Get him!

- [ Gunshots] - Go! Go!

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

Let's go. Let's go, come on.

[Gunshots]

Come with me. Hurry.

You're safe here.

Don't leave.

[Gunshots]

Stop.

Man: Hold your fire.

No more killing.

- [ Gunshots ] - Take cover!

- Get him! - Down there, come on!

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

Let's go.

Stop!

He ain't guilty.

[Gunshots]

Shit.

[Gunshot]

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

[ Rifle cocks ]

[Gunshot]

- [Grunts] - Jim!

[ Gasps ]

Preacher!

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

Ah!

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

[Chamber clicks]

[Grunts]

[Gunshots]

The killer's getting away!

Well, somebody do something!

Put it down!

Drop it.

[Gunshots]

[Grunts]

[Grunting]

[Whistles ]

[Horse neighs]

Hyah!

Josephine, where are you going?

- Shit! - Stables, come on.

[ Groans ]

[Grunts]

[ Groans ]

Ah!

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

[Horses neighing]

[Grunts]

Come on.

[Horse neighs]

[Gunshots]

[ Gasps ]

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

[Grunts]

I think I hit him. I think I hit him.

We can't outrun them.

I know a place.

Get him!

Hyah!

Wait up.

Come on!

We're close.

[ Panting ]

Sit down.

I have this.

- They ain't here. - They're here.

If you're there, come out! Before we shoot you out!

[Gunshots]

Shit! Get down!

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

No! Aah!

Ah!

They dead?

I'm gonna put a bullet in his head, make sure.

Cicero: This is my last bullet.

[Grunts]

Ah!

- [ Screams ] - [ Grunts ]

Stop!

[Horse neighs]

Stop!

Ah! Dammit!

[ Groans ]

Oh, god.

Mickey!

- Mickey? - Shh, shh, shh.

Mickey, are you okay?

I'll be better.

Dear sweet...

[Horses neighing]

[Horses neighing]

What happened?

There's a fugitive.

And he killed my husband, and he's killed other people.

Where is he now?

He got away.

Please, is there room for me?

We've got plenty of room.

These horses, they need water if the danger's over.

I'll take your bag.

Thank you.

Have it all to yourself.

Sheriff's inside. He's armed.

[ Groans ]

Water, bandages quickly.

Can you get a knife?

- Ginny, get a knife. - [ Groans ]

You got some water?

Pa! Pa! He killed O'Sullivan, he killed all those men.

You got to do something, pa. Please. He tried.

He's trying to pin it on me.

Colt Navy.

There's more than one of those guns in this town.

Why the hell is my son tied up?

Come on, sheriff, you know the truth.

Jimmy: Come on, pa.

Pa, he's in league with that murderer.

You got to believe me. Okay?

Come on, you can't... You can't believe him.

Did you do it, son?

Jim: Don't lie to me.

Just tell me the truth.

It... it's done.

Yes or no, Jimmy?

Yes or no, god damn it!

Dunnigan?

You killed dunnigan?

And Violet?

Isabel?

Isabel?

Isabel.

Edgar seen him but wasn't sure.

I know it was him.

Why the hell didn't you say something?

Just like you said, I'm lucky to have a place here.

The town called me, god damn it, I answered.

Where's Mrs. Dunnigan?

I seen her out by the coach.

Get her in here right now.

Mickey: Mrs. Dunnigan!

Thaddeus: Hey, have a seat.

Mickey: Mrs. Dunnigan!

Mrs. Dunnigan!

Sheriff wants to see you.

You fixin' on leaving so soon?

Well, it's unsafe.

And I was always planning on taking that stage.

Did you have a love affair with my son?

Me? Why would I do that?

He gave it to me, and I...

I didn't know what to do, him being your son.

Emma.

And you were so kind.

But I would return your affections?

I have a... had a husband.

You didn't love him.

He got the wrong idea.

I got the wrong idea?

You kissed me.

What I brought your husband back, you kissed me.

That's a lie, Jim.

You told me that you loved me.

You told me we were gonna run away together.

- You told me. - Oh, Jim.

We have to confess. We have to just confess.

You don't believe him, do you?

Oh. Hey.

Let me go.

You can keep the claim.

Let me go, or I...

- Put it down. - I ain't gonna.

I just want to get out of here.

I just want to get out of this place.

- [ Gunshot] - Ah!

Dad!

- [ Gunshot] - Ah!

Oh, no!

[Gunshots]

Ma always thought I was going to be somebody.

Shh.

You never did.

You were right.

[Sighs]

Shh.

[Sobs ] I'm sorry.

- Shh. - I'm sorry.

Shh.

I think this is yours.

Thank you.

We'll Bury our friends,

pray for their souls.

All of them.

[Sighs]

And we're going to rebuild this town.

Make it better than it was.

And perhaps there will be a time

we no longer need to fight.

Perhaps.

Hey, you feelin' better?

Yeah.

Well, it's over.

I fallen feathers on my Bible red leather I

I it's easier this way I

I my palms to frozen earth I

I and a prayer I

I it's easier to stay I
