"Thank you for meeting me this evening." "It was a very kind offer." "I've been called a lot of things, ma'am, but kind ain't one of 'em." "Well, you are." "Here's to kindness." "And to kind women." "Like my sister." "My pa didn't approve of my life either, Rebekah." "Said I was too wild." "Too foolish." "Didn't care about the important things." "Mucking stalls and slapping hogs?" "[Laughs] And duty, honor, country." "Well, your father may not have approved of you not joining the army, but I do." "War's foolishness." "What does it prove?" "A man's worth, maybe?" "Poppycock." "This war was an excuse for Mr. Abraham Lincoln and his Yankee profiteering friends, who were trying to..." "To free the slaves?" "You and Father."

"I suppose you know that." "I don't know about that, sir." "I kinda figure she liked my brother better, if you want to know the truth." "Fella like Chance looks might enticing to a girl at first." "But a man like you, and a place like this, looks better to me." "Ain't you maybe gettin' the plough a bit ahead of the mule, sir?" "I know my daughter, son." "And I know men." "You want this place, it's yours." "But if you want my daughter, you're gonna have to go after her." "Mr. Elden thought you wanted to see me." "He was mistaken." "Rebekah, I'm your sister." "Ah." "I'm sorry I wasn't there after Mom passed, Bekie." "I was..." "Otherwise engaged?" "Look, I know you don't approve of me." "But you weren't here after Ben died." "I had no other way." "No easier way." "Please don't judge me, Bek." "Can't we just go back to..." "We can't go back, Rachel!" "Today and tomorrow is all we have." "But the War..." "Is over!" "It's over!" "People keep blaming the war, and I am sick of it." "We can't walk away from what it's done to us, between us!" "You can walk away from what you're doin'." "[Laughs]" "You could come work here." "Here?" "You gotta be kiddin', honey." "I could never work here." "Never." "Never." "Didn't bury the hatchet, I see." "Can't you see it stickin' in my back?" "Rebekah, this was a very tough town to live in during the war." "You think livin' in Virginia was easy?" "Half the families for Lincoln." "The other half were for Lee." "Our house was taken over three times as battle headquarters." "Once for the North, twice for the South." "We lost everything." "Everything." "I'm sorry." "Hm?" "Let it out." "I promised myself I wouldn't do that." "That's a tough promise to keep." "You said this was a tough town." "So have you worked for the bank long?" "Not too long." "Used to have a ranch just west of town." "Beef contracts with the Union Army." "Easy work when the Army was just fighting the Indians." "Not too popular when we started fighting each other." "Lots of Confederate sympathizers hereabouts, as you can imagine." "Silver strike drew folks from all over the South." "Owning a bank, you didn't have to choose sides." "No." "Just have to lend money." "That's popular with everybody." "[Speaking Native language]" "[Repeating phrase]" "[Repeating phrase]" "Uh!" "[Whimpering]" "[Speaking Native language]" "Tashi'ne!"

"You could be goin' door-to-door fixing' windows." "Like General Sherman in reverse." "Chance says before the war..." "Spendin' a lot of time with my brother, are you?" "Why, Kirby." "You're not jealous?" "Not in the least." "Oh!" "I, uh... thanks." "You're... welcome." "Well, well." "Must be visitin' day." "Chance know you're out here?" "That's none of your affair." "And I'll take it kindly if you don't make it so." "Ooh!" "Yes, ma'am." "How may I be of service to you gentlemen?" "Contraire, my Yankee friend." "It is we who may be of service to you." "How's that?" "Mr. Shannon and I heard an ugly rumor." "Sheriff offered you that deputy job." "And the more we thought about it..." "The more we realized that I was much better qualified for the job." "What about it, Lieutenant?" "Our information got any meat on the bone?" "You see, Rufus?" "What'd I tell you?" "I'm a farmer, McSween." "My father was a farmer." "I came out here to get away from guns." "You want the job?" "It's yours." "Humble is the man who knows his limitations." "Mr. Shannon has a long memory, Sodbuster." "He remembers when a fella does him a good turn." "And he remembers when they don't." "Funny." "I'm the same way." "[Horse neighs]" "I thought you might take that job." "I was hoping maybe to..." "No." "You'd be in town." "We could see each other more often." "Is that what it takes to win your affection, Miss?" "Just be around?" "I don't like your tone." "Perhaps I don't like you." "Rebekah..." "I came 1,000 miles to prove up on 160 acres of land." "I expect to work very hard at it." "I did not come to pick up a gun." "I'll not see men fall due to my hand." "But back at the stagecoach, you and your brother were the best..." "Best what?" "Gunslingers?" "Killers?" "Don't take much of a man to do that." "What do you know about being a man if you're gonna let that murderer be the Deputy Sheriff?" "No." "Oh, it's fine when you're defending a strongbox." "Oh, that's just fine and dandy." "Wasn't money I was protecting, Bekie." "[Clears throat]" "[Gasps]" "Well!" "A man who is as good as his word." "What is the world coming to?" "Evening, Mrs. Potter." "I was just heading over to Mr. Brax's place with some laudanum, and I figured I'd just see if you folks needed anything." "Well, just the pleasure of your company for dinner." "Mary has gone into town for the mail and some supplies, but she'll be back directly." "I couldn't impose." "Now, I am not gonna hear another word." "Kathleen'll bring more wood in, and I'm gonna get the pies in the oven!" "All right, Mrs. Potter." "It'd be my pleasure." "Spell you a mite?" "Looks like you could use a hand." "You know, I could use some practice with that axe since I got no one special to do my chopping' for me." "I got it." "Better?" "[Horse neighs]" "[Neighing]" "JT." "Thank you for moseying over." "Grab a chair and sit for a spell." "What do you need, Del?" "Oh." "Not "What do I want?"" "But "What do I need?"" "You always was a man of the carefully turned phrase, Sheriff." "I got work to do, if you don't mind." "Ho!" "I know you're busy." "Shinin' your badge, polishing your boots." "See you, Del." "Oh!" "Don't rush off, Sheriff." "I was just wantin' to, well..." "Well, actually, Ollie and I, we was just wantin' to jaw with you for a bit... about, well, how busy... you really are." "[Exhaling deeply]" "Mrs. Potter?" "It's my Uncle Roy." "He's come back for Kathleen." "This day, this day." "I knew it would happen." "Is there anything I can do?" "Kirby, would you be really upset if we postpone our supper to another time?" "Not at all, Mrs. Potter." "Thank you." "I can show you out this way." "[Crying]" "Oh, God!" "[Mary crying]" "Please be careful at the Brax place, Mr. Scott." "William's not a bad man, but he's jumpy." "What with the war just over." "Shannon's men always tryin' to run him off." "I'll be careful." "You sure there's nothing I can do?" "There's not much any of us can do." "Kathleen's his granddaughter." "It was only a matter of time before he came back for her." "My uncle Roy is an evil man, Mr. Scott." "I don't mind sayin' so." "And there's just only so much evil in this world a body can withstand." "Where's the bartender?" "He got in Chickamauga, Reb." "We want whiskey." "And none of that chilipicker stuff." "It's the last of it." "Right here." "We're willin' to pay." "There ain't enough money in creation." "Keep the change." "I told you I didn't want to see you again." "I have laudanum and medicine." "Otherwise, she'll lose that foot." "I brought you some medicine." "It might hurt a bit." "[Whimpering]" "That should feel better in a minute." "Kir-by." "Kirby." "[Horse neighs]" "(Lyons) Brax!" "I have a warrant for you to vacate the premises." "Effective noon tomorrow." "What warrant?" "This is hogwash." "It's the law, old timer." "You abandoned this claim when you joined the army." "I was servin' my country." "Well, you shoulda thought of that before you became so patriotic." "Now, do you obey the law... or do we end this right here?" "Mr. Brax needs time to think it over." "If I was you, I'd do the same." "Well, hello, Sodbuster." "I thought we gave you your chance." "[Cocks gun]" "I'm returning the favor." "Nothing's changed." "Noon tomorrow." "I don't owe you nothin'." "Didn't ask for nothin'." "I wore the same uniform as you for half a decade." "And I wore it with pride." "Lord God willin', I... [laughs]" "I shoulda burned it." "Six months ago, around November of '64," "Black Kettle come to Fort Lyon." "Said the sky had been dark since the war began." "Major Wyncoop promised him protection." "Settled in a bend near Sand Creek." "Taste of blood's like liquor for an ambitious man." "'Fore sun up on the 29th, we reached the edge of camp, full of whiskey to keep out the night air." "Reckon I heard about that." "Black Kettle had an American flag tied to the end of a long pole." "When he saw us, he ordered the women and children to stand under the flag so we'd be sure to see it." "And there's a real, live breeze blowin' that mornin'." "I remember smellin' the buffalo meat." "Seasoned up just right, you know?" "Like, melt in your mouth." "Mm." "I turned see Colonel Chivington off to my flank, and I saw his lips move." "Couldn't make out what he was sayin' at first." "He was always real quiet." "And then I could." ""No prisoners."" "500 women and children." "Satan himself never saw nothin' like it." "After it was over, I saw Rahi'ne and her sister walking' around in the smoke." "I was on the search party to help kill the survivors." "You couldn't see five feet through the dust and smoke." "I reckon I got separated from the rest." "I just reached down off my horse and put her and her sister aboard and took off." "Six months, and I never looked back." "If you need me for anything, Mr. Brax..." "I'm right over the ridge." "[Screaming]" "Hold it, Brax." "You were warned." "Now get on your knees, old timer." "Unh!" "Any last words of wisdom before you depart?" "Let them go." "They've done nothin' to you." "They're here with you, old man." "That's enough." "May you and Shannon rot in hell." "At least you'll be there first." "Ehh!" "Let's get outta here!" "[Speaking Native language]" "How you holdin' up?" "Cut myself shaving'... worse than this." "Hya!" "Hya!" "Hya!"

"Don't come bellyachin' to me just 'cause I can't be every place at once." "She's lost everyone that matters to her." "I know that." "I know that!" "Miss, is there anything I can do?" "Where the hell were you this morning?" "At the livery stable." "Gettin' ready to ride out and serve them eviction warrants on Brax." "Why?" "Anybody vouch for that?" "You don't ask the questions around here, Sodbuster." "I do." "How could you have..." "Because you didn't want the job." "Or was I misinformed?" "No." "You were not misinformed." "[Speaking Native language]" "Kirby." "Thank you." "Lemme see about getting you a room at the hotel." "No." "Go home." "That wouldn't be a good idea." "[Speaking Native language]" "[Speaking Native language]" "Funeral." "Of course." "Kirby." "I heard what happened." "I'm so sorry." "Tashi'ne, this is Rebekah." "Rebekah." "That's right." "Go with Rebekah, and I'll make arrangements for the funeral." "[Speaking Native language]" "I need to go check with Mr. Elden." "Well, wasn't that much ado?" "[Laughing]" "Who told you to serve a warrant on Brax last night?" "Who do you think?" "Lyons, you're either workin' for me or you're workin' for Del." "You pull a stunt like that again, you'll be eatin' that badge for breakfast." "Yes, sir." "Look into what happened this morning." "I'd better not find you were involved." "No, sir." "And Lyons, the next time those boots wind up on my desk it'll be because" "I just brought 'em back from the undertaker." "What's the matter with you?" "Nothin' a bullet won't fix." "Thank you, gentlemen." "Mr. Shepard around?" "Mr. Scott, pleasure to see you." "No, uh, Jed's showing a claim, but I have your papers, young man." "Signed, filed, and ready for your signature." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Whoa, I'd actually completely..." "Forgotten?" "Son, the paperwork's just as important as the land." "Maybe more." "Let's get it done." "Mm-hmm." "You sign here..." "and here and here." "I was wonderin' what you might be able to tell me about the land under Mr. Brax's claim, and Mrs. Potter's as well." "Not much." "Nothing special, I can assure you." "Brax's mine played out years before he went off to war." "Ellis and Mary Potter's piece abuts the Brax claim, but there was never much silver on it." "The vein runs, um, north along the picket wire, and, um, Ellis's piece runs due south." "Here, I, um..." "See for yourself." "This is the original Colorado Mining Company survey." "You can see where it peters out." "There's no chance of any vein discovered?" "Discovered by who?" "The real action's out west, Mr. Scott." "The Comstock claim in Virginia City, not to mention California." "Then why drive Mr. Brax off his claim?" "It's the law, Mr. Scott." "I signed the papers myself." "He abandoned his claim when he went to war." "And there are plenty of people coming west now that the war is over." "We gotta make room for them." "Doesn't quite seem fair." "This cabin you're living in was built by someone too, Mr. Scott." "But he had the misfortune of dying at Vicksburg instead of at home in his own bed." "Instead of at home in his own bed." "His wife and adopted daughter were not of the Christian faith." "Tashi'ne asked that her sister and Emil Brax, be buried here today, as he himself was a Christian man." "This is dreadful." "I thought we left all of this behind us." "Some people say that Emil Brax, in recent days, had been a coward." "He died a hero, defending his family." "The end of the war has given honorable men on both sides of this recent conflict hope." "Hope that we could put the evil of slavery behind us, and hope that we could be one nation under God, and hope that we can finally turn our back on evil." "Never turn your back on evil." "Who are you?" "John Boone, U.S. Marshall." "You'd be Kirby Scott." "JT said I'd find you out here." "That's right." "This is Miss Rebekah Shepard." "Land agent's daughter." "I don't understand." "I thought the sheriff was the law." "I'm a Federal Marshall, Miss." "I cover the whole territory." "I understand you had a chance to become JT's deputy." "You turned it down." "I came west for different reasons." "I went to dental school, Scott." "Fate is what happens when need collides with opportunity." "I don't need to be a lawman." "Well, who cares what you need?" "What about what she needed?" "Are you content to mop up after the damage is done?" "Hell, a stable boy could do that." "This is none of my business." "Evil is all of our business." "Let us pray." "(woman) Sheriff!" "Sheriff!" "Father told me to tell you there's some men riding' this way." "Will you look at that?" "That's "Bloody" Bill Anderson's outfit, isn't it?" "(Sheriff) What's left of 'em." "Who are they?" "Marauders from Kansas, Missouri." "Hell of a reputation." "Worse than Quantrell, some say." "What do they want?" "I don't know." "If that fella in the lead's who I think he is..." "I'm afraid I do." "You comin'?" "Or you got some moonlight plowing' to do?" "Yeah." "But I got a better idea." "[Chatter]" "[Chatter]" "(man) Then don't play fair." "Play to win!" "Just sit." "Amanda." "You're hoardin' the prettiest girls." "Perhaps it airs better over here." "Don't mean you need both of 'em." "I have a hard time makin' up my mind." "Reckon I can help you out on that score." "Let's have some order around here!" "Who the hell are you?" "He's a tin star, Lester." "Y'all blind?" "You challenging my authority?" "Lester?" "No." "But I think he might." "Pretty tough with this gun." "How are you without it?" "Fair." "I'm gonna cut you real bad." "Chance." "Wouldn't advise that, honey." "Mm!" "[Together] # Wish I was in the land of cotton #" "# Old times there #" "# Are not forgotten #" "# Look away #" "# Look away Look away #" "# Dixieland # #" "Dixieland." "[Both laughing]" "Well, it's a coupla fellow travelers." "You, uh..." "You heard we lost the war." "No!" "You hear that?" "He's fibbing'." "Oh, he don't look like he's fibbing'." "Nope!" "Robert E. Lee turned over his sword to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9th." "A day that will live in infamy!" "To Robert E. Lee!" "[All] Robert E. Lee!" "Ooh-hoo." "Well, that was not good sportsmanship." "I'm the law." "Now I want you to holster your weapons, and we'll come around and collect 'em." "Nobody's been bad hurt yet, and nobody has to be." "You shouldn't have oughta done this." "I know who you are, Mister." "You aren't wanted for anything in this territory, but for what you animals done back in Kansas, they oughta string the whole lot of you up by the balls." "It was war." "That wasn't war." "It was slaughter!" "Uh-uh-uh." "I would hate for this thing to go off and expose your shortcomings." "I believe, if I recall, the war is over." "So why don't you just call it an evening?" "Fair enough." "You men are not wanted here." "But I understand from Mr. Scott that your boss has got personal business in the area." "When that's settled, I want you all outta here for good." "I'm keeping your weapons at the sheriff's office until you leave." "[Gasps]" "Roy!" "Where is she?" "Well, you can't find her." "[Cocks gun]" "Hello, Sarah." "I'd hoped you died in the war, Roy." "I'm quite certain you did." "She didn't mean that, Roy." "No?" "She... we..." "I came for my granddaughter." "She is happy here with me, Roy." "Why don't you just let her be?" "Where's Ellis?" "He passed away last month." "Going back east, then?" "What business is that of yours?" "Kathleen's not cut out for that." "What life can you offer her, Roy?" "On the run?" "Going to leave her stranded in some town where they decide to hang you?" "Just let her be, Roy, please." "Have her here tomorrow at noon." "Or I'll kill you both." "Just move into the hotel till they leave town, son." "Oh, that's hardly necessary, Sheriff." "I can handle things." "Like you did tonight?" "Figure I'll get my gear." "I'll be back at first light." "I'll make arrangements with Mother Smalley's" "You did a good job tonight." "Both of you." "Come on, my big brother and I have some serious talking to do." "[Sigh]" "You saved my hide tonight, Sodbuster." "Don't make a habit of it." "I wasn't planning on it." "Kirby, I'm so proud of you." "Rachel and Chance want to celebrate." "Why not?" "You're welcome to come, if you'd like." "Reckon I'd see you at sun-up." "Till morning then." "Hee-yah!" "[Horse whinnies]" "So Sergeant Rabbit, you really volunteering for this mission?" "It ain't much." "Lonely life." "[Horse neighs]" "Well, duty calls, Sergeant." "Call's for thee." "Chance should probably be out there with them." "So?" "He makes me nervous." "Why don't you just hide your watch?" "Yah." "We used to tie Rosie up to a tree" "We used to tie Rosie up to a tree and pretend she was Comanche." "Went to supper once, and couldn't recollect where we lashed her up." "Ma nearly strung us up at the smokehouse." "As usual, Chance parlayed his way out of it." "Our way out of it." "[Laughs]" "You do charm all." "Every day the sun shines." "What happened to your sister Rose?" "(Kirby) She died of Typhus before the war." "Ma passed from consumption before Pa was killed at Chickamauga." "Sorry." "No brothers of your own?" "No." "Just me and Beck." "Till I met Ben." "You recollect how you meet someone and you just... have to have them?" "Apple brown betty?" "Oh, I'd die for some." "Rebekah was the best cook in Tyler County." "Won county fair five years running." "That I can believe." "(Chance) Kirby here won best sweet corn, best sow, and best natural born hay seed in 50 miles." "[Laughter]" "Thanks." "You know I ain't lying, big brother." "Which is why this... don't figure at all." "That's not something I hanker for." "Then don't do it." "You don't owe that stupid Marshall nothing." "Rachel, this is supposed to be a celebration." "Why not celebrate him telling that no good lawman to shove it up his..." "You're drunk!" "So?" "It's what Shannon pays me for, ain't it?" "Among other things." "You got no call to say that!" "We each walk our own paths." "Tell that to Miss High and Mighty." "Rachel." "Rachel!" "[Horse whinnies]" "I'll make sure she gets home." "You coming?" "I think I'll stay a while." "I'd think on this long and hard, Kirby." "You threaten me now too, little brother?" "You doing Shannon's scut work?" "That's what he's got McSweens and Lyons for." "I just deal poker." "And give advice." "Good advice." "Chance just doesn't want you getting involved in anything... [horse neighs]" "[Screams]" "Move it inside, Sodbuster, we break her neck." "Come on." "Hold him, boys." "Let the lady go." "Lady?" "Lady?" "Sodbuster." "If she's anything like her sister, she ain't a lady." "I guarantee it." "You are the lowest form..." "Get up, get up!" "What do you think, Honey?" "This is a better show than the Del Star, huh?" "Don't even water the booze." "Get up, get up!" "Hold him, boys!" "Hold him, boys." "Oh, you're fired up now, huh?" "(Rebekah) Let go of me!" "I saved your life today." "That you did." "That you did." "And I thank you for it." "But you saw something you shouldn't have seen, Sodbuster." "That's me." "And there's only room for one lawman in this town." "No!" "[Screams]" "And I reckon even JT don't have no use for a lawman with just one eye!" "Where are the dusters and the hoods?" "You're a little underdressed." "Mr. Shannon ain't gonna be too happy about this." "You ain't gonna be too fond of it either." "Chance!" "Ta'shine, no." "[Gunshot blares]" "This was in Lyons' saddlebag?" "Took it off myself." "See this jagged tear?" "So what?" "I saw that same jagged edge the night the stage was held up." "Come with me." "Was I involved?" "You ought to be arresting your man for murdering my top hand." "Or should I get John Boone to do it?" "No, come off it, Del." "Boone'd tell you to go to hell, just like I would." "We both know Lyons was filth." "The question is, were you behind it?" "In on robbing my own payroll?" "Why the hell would I do something like that?" "I don't know." "That's why I always figured you weren't involved." "Well, don't stop now." "Lyons wasn't running Mr. Brax Office Property in his own authority." "You put him up to it." "Is that right?" "Now, you been around how long?" "About a week?" "And all of a sudden, you are a range detective?" "Leave Mr. Shannon alone, Kirby." "Since when is this your business?" "It seems your brother wants to take over" "Mr. Lyons' position in my organization." "I don't believe you." "I told you I came out west to find my fortune, Kirby." "Mr. Shannon's gonna help me find it." "This is about Rebekah, isn't it?" "Leave my sister's name out of this, you stupid cowboy." "Or do you think your brother's just with me 'cause he can't have what he really wants?" "That's not what I meant, Rachel." "Get outta here." "I said get outta here!" "(JT) He's a good man, Del." "Boone and I best not find you're behind this." "You won't." "Is that because you're innocent?" "Or just because you figure we're not up to it?" "Take your pick, Sheriff." "Take your pick." "Go now, whoa!" "Ho." "JT?" "Guess what?" "We made it." "No robbery." "First time in six weeks." "Well, that's great, Johnny." "Got the mail too." "Here you go." "Folks are gonna be mighty hungry for it." "Thank God." "Maybe we'll finally have that letter from Mother." "Here you go, Violet." "This is addressed to Mr. Ellis Potter at the mining office." "Looks like our curse is broken." "You best give it to that new fella." "Shepard is his name." "Yes, sir." "I'll see to it right away." "Let's go." "Yah!" "Mail and payroll got through." "No problem." "Looks like you may have been right." "Telegraph arrived for Marshall Boone." "War department's gonna issue warrants for Hobbs and his men." "You don't look like that's good news." "Miss Sarah says that Roy wants to take Kathleen today." "Well, Boone's on the way with the warrants." "Ain't much we can do till then." "I could take 'em up to my place till Marshall gets here." "Well, reckon you could at that." "I'll take that, Violet." "But driver says to give it to Mr. Jed." "I always handle the mail, Violet, you know that." "Yes, sir." "But he said." "That's okay, Matt." "I'll take it." "What with the robberies, this is the first mail we've had in six weeks." "That so?" "Why don't you let me take care of that, Jed?" "Ellis always liked me to handle the mail." "That's okay, I'll get to it in a moment." "Griff?" "How would a couple of your hound hoots here like to make themselves some traveling money?" "[Horse neighs]" "Why, hello, Miss Rebekah." "I was wondering if there was someplace we could go to talk." "You didn't tell me you were bringing lunch." "Well, the way to a man's heart... is to be honest." "Though cooking never hurts." "[Laughs]" "Chance, about last night..." "There's nothing to explain." "You made your choice and I made mine." "What do you mean?" "Me and Rachel." "Didn't you already know?" "Chance, you can't be with Rachel." "You sound like Kirby." "Why can't the two of you just accept" "Rachel's the love of my life?" "Love?" "I should hardly think so." "Okay." "So it ain't love." "She's just great in the sack." "Hey, girlie." "Ain't you supposed to be picking cotton?" "Or are you too busy taking jobs away from good white folk?" "Or sashaying around town pretending you're good as us?" "Y'all leave me alone." "Or my pappy'll come to town and whip you good." "Let me go!" "Uh!" "[Horse whinnies]" "Expecting your pappy's a lot more used to the other end of this whip." "My pappy wasn't no slave." "Wasn't ever no slave." "He's a free man." "What'd he do?" "Sell your brother and sister?" "Or leap off the ship and keep running." "See here, you men." "Let her go." "Will you look at the fancy Yankee." "Come to free the slaves like your skinny-ass Abe Lincoln." "You remember what happened to him last month, don't you?" "Got what he deserved." "Mr. John Booth, Yankee." "Patriot." "John Booth was a despicable coward." "That make us cowards too, Yankee?" "If the boot fits, wear it." "Jed!" "Mr. JT!" "Sheriff!" "Help." "Sheriff." "[Horse whinnies]" "Mr. JT!" "You men stop this." "Let her go." "Let her go!" "Where'd you men get those weapons?" "Oh, these?" "Reckon we got 'em from your old friends down at the saloon." "Or maybe they weren't your friends after all." "They don't like you very much down there, Sheriff." "You men hand over those weapons before somebody gets hurt." "Someone." "Someone like you." "Maybe we'd better let it go." "Let it go?" "Not till you apologize, Yankee." "Not till you crawl over here and lick the dirt off my boot." "Clear out of here, Mr. Shepard." "You can't take us all, lawman." "You see what you're missing?" "I don't know what I ever saw in you." "(Violet) Miss Rebekah!" "Miss Rebekah." "Your father's hurt bad." "You need to come quick." "Dad." "Dad!" "Daddy?" "JT?" "JT, stay in the buggy." "Rebekah." "Rebekah!" "We gotta get these men to my office." "Rebekah, what..." "Where were you?" "Where were you?" "Ladies, please hush up." "We got two men here threatening' their death." "Now, if you're gonna stay here, you gotta help me." "What do you want us to do?" "Whoa." "Where's Kathleen?" "We hid her last night in the old smokehouse." "She's probably still inside." "Where's Kathleen?" "I'll handle the rest." "Roy, please!" "Let Kathleen go." "Sarah and I promise, we'll do anything you want." "You had your chance last night, woman." "Roy, please." "You had to go to the law." "[Screams]" "You deserve to hang!" "If so, you're gonna miss it." "[Gunshot echoes]" "Let's get this jerk down the well." "I ain't too fond of sticking around." "Oh!" "You are a filthy, rotten human being, Roy!" "I hear Ellis calling you home." "[Screams]" "[Gunshots blare]" "What are their chances, Doctor?" "Most men back shot like this'd be dead by now." "But your father's in fairly decent physical shape." "And that helps, believe me." "And JT here is tougher than rawhide." "What does that mean, back shot?" "Well, the bullet enters the back and there's a small hole, and comes out in front." "I thought they were in a gunfight." "There's no telling about a gunfight, Ma'am." "Especially in this town." "My God." "Who did this?" "Those men who came in last night..." "No, please." "Those men will be gone soon." "Are they gonna make it, Doc?" "It's like drawing to an inside straight." "Who's winning?" "Reckon it ain't you." "You know about this in advance?" "Why don't you ask your girlfriend?" "I've got myself one hell of an alibi." "I didn't ask you if you did it." "Did you know about it?" "No." "Leave him alone." "That's your own father, Miss Rachel." "My father's been sticking his nose in other people's business." "Saving a young black woman's life." "Ain't that how we all got into this?" "On the nose, brother Chance." "You Yankees could just not leave well enough alone." "Everybody was happy." "Everybody knew their place." "I got nothing against the negroes." "They's as good as three-fifths of a person as you gonna find." "I just don't want 'em voting or owning businesses." "Or mixing where they don't belong." "War's over, Greg." "You lost." "How naive are you, friend?" "That argument is gonna last 100 years." "Maybe it's time to go, little brother?" "Are you saying that I've gotta pick a side?" "Uh-uh." "I like it right here." "You wasting your air, Griff." "Kirby here has never mastered the art of saying the right thing." "Big brother has to actually go and do the right thing." "Nearly got the boy killed in Chancellorsville." "And Vicksburg." "Hmm, perhaps today is his lucky day." "Keep the faith, Rebekah." "[Screams]" "You stick your head outside, you son of a bitch," "I'll blow her head off." "[Door opening]" "Hello, Mr. Elden." "I'd like to ask you a few questions." "Of course, son." "Take a seat." "How's Jedediah?" "He's not doing too good." "I'm sorry to hear that." "Seemed like a good man." "Yes, sir." "It's part of what almost got him killed." "Ah, yes." "The young lady." "That's bad." "I'm hoping you might clear something up for me." "Be glad to." "I'd like to take another look at that mineral plot you showed me yesterday." "Of course." "Here you go." "This... is the mining plot for my deed." "If you notice, the legend on your map is upside-down." "I see." "Which means that this silver vein is actually running south through Mr. Brax's claim." "Across into Ellis Potter's and into my own." "Now, if we're dead or run off our land, these claims revert back to your bank, Mr. Elden." "And to you." "Well, isn't that something?" "I know you didn't do it alone, Mr. Elden." "Del Shannon and Lyons were in on it with you." "Did Shannon kill Ellis Potter?" "Or did you?" "I'm afraid that was Del's doing." "You see, Ellis discovered the government's error one night." "A lot of mistakes were made in Washington during the war." "The emphasis was on war maps." "And as to the rest of it..." "Well..." "The stage holdups weren't for the money at all." "It was just to stop the mail." "Keep the sheriff and the land agent from getting those new maps." "At least until Mr. Brax was dead and Mr. Potter was back in Virginia." "Which leaves only you, Mr. Scott." "You ever kill anybody, Mr. Elden?" "Can't say that I have." "It's not that easy." "Ooh, I think I'll get the hang of it." "[Gunshots blare]" "Deputy, are you in there?" "Come out and we'll go easy on you." "Looks like we got a gift for you, Deputy." "Come out and we'll let her go." "Don't, Kirby." "They'll kill us both!" "I'm a man of my word, Deputy." "Show yourself, and she'll be okay." "Let her go." "You go to hell!" "Let her go." "He's the one we want." "(Kirby) Let her go." "Let her go." "Please stop." "Please, there's been enough killing." "There ain't never enough killing." "Kirby." "Get inside the saloon." "No." "Please." "With Chance." "Go." "Go." "Chance, you have to do something." "Kirby made his bed." "And he'll lie in it alone." "Please, somebody do something." "Please!" "Make your move, Deputy." "Or Roy Hobbs'll make it for you." "[Gunshots blare]" "[Horse neighs]" "Get in here." "Are you crazy?" "Time to face the music, Roy." "Only music's gonna be playing over your grave, Deputy." "Nobody outguns Roy Hobbs, Sodbuster." "Your time will come." "But not today." "[Horse neighs]" "Kirby!" "Mr. Shannon, I'm afraid you're gonna have to come with me." "With you?" "Hell, you're half dead." "You were behind all of this." "Mr. Brax's death, the mining claims, the stage holdups." "Now, even if all that were true, all your witnesses are dead." "Son, you got any idea how many guns I got here against you?" "Nice to see you boys again." "Why don't you count your blessings and get the hell outta here?" "I oughta warn you, Del." "Kirby ain't half bad with his left hand either." "(Kirby) I'm arresting you for the attempted murder of both the Sheriff and Mr. Jedediah Shepard." "You're loco, son." "Half the town saw them four Rebs gun them down." "They were back shot." "And I bet I don't need to look too far to find some witnesses." "I saw him." "Shut up." "They waited until the fight started." "And then Griff here opened fire on JT and the new land agent." "I'm gonna have to dock your pay for that." "You know, your brother can be a real pain in the ass." "Men, y'all know how many of our close friends and associates were sent to their reward by Mr. Scott here." "A year's salary to the first man who sends Mr. Scott to his." "You can't do this." "The whole town will know." "I built this town!" "And no Yankee, Reb, or lawman, or war, for that matter's, gonna take this away from me!" "Let's go, Shannon." "You too, Griff." "Clint?" "I believe it's your deal." "Kirby!" "Chance!" "Step away from him." "No." "Step away from him!" "No." "It's over." "I'll be the judge of that." "Boone." "Stay out of this, old man." "Time we settled old scores, Del." "Why not?" "Wipe the slate clean." "My thoughts exactly." "[Cocks gun]" "Time to go, folks." "Ready, Mr. Scott?" "As I'll ever be." "Everything in order, Jed?" "Tashi'ne here is the rightful owner of Brax's land." "And Kirby gets those under his land as well." "Looks like when that arm heals, you may be a wealthy man." "I've got all I need right here." "Am I missing the double wedding?" "Not yet." "Right now Chance and I want to see what's a little further west." "Not much for settling down." "That's more Kirby's style." "We'll see." "You gonna stick around and be a deputy, Mr. Scott?" "I reckon I could help out once in a while." "If I'm not in the way." "I'll be sure that he does." "I'm glad to hear it." "You know, I'm not gonna be around forever." "Someday maybe you'll be after my job." "I think I'll stick a little closer to home." "I'll see you folks in the by-and-by." "Light's getting yellow, Chance." "Bye, big brother." "Don't be a stranger." "Oh, we'll be back." "Besides, you're gonna be a rich man." "Can't play poker with the dead." "I'm gonna miss them." "A lot." "[Speaking native language]" "Go with God, brother." "Go with God." "Captioning by CaptionMax"
