Couple

of saddle trams just rode in.

Looks like they're stopping at the lost

lug.

But they're not going in.

Yes, sir. I know. I know.

>> You people are thieves. Did you know

that? I've been paying interest so long

I plum forgot what the capital is.

>> Sir, nobody forced you to come in here.

Did you hear that? Force. Meet with a

wife and a mule. Two-legg horn roosters

looking for a hand and six young to

feed. And all this fool can say is

force.

What's more, it'll be a cold hand.

>> Never mind the hard stuff. We'll just

take the paper. Mark. Mark. Give me your

gun. This is force, mister.

YEAH, GOT IT.

Got it.

>> Pick it up. Don't let me stop you.

Come out. Drop them.

>> Don't look too good, does it? Bishop

>> Rosco, go open up the cells. Port, you

and Hawkins, help me cover him. If one

of them so much as spits, blow his head

off.

>> I need a doctor.

>> You ain't hurt. Move.

They shot Nathan Stoner, killed one of

my clerks.

>> Get your hands up.

>> John, get Doc Curtis over here right

away.

Bishop, you and one other in that first

cell on the right

>> in there, old man. Paul,

>> I figured you'd hit me a turn one of

these days, Bishop. When they write

about you and the penny dreadfuls,

they're going to call Valverie your end

of the line.

>> Well, I've never yet seen anything so

bad that a little money or a little talk

can't settle.

>> Well, you can talk till you're blew in

the face if you have a mind to. I'm a

different kind of sheriff than you've

been used to.

>> What's that supposed to mean?

>> Means you can't beg, borrow, steal, buy,

break, or pray your way out of my jail.

>> July

Nathan Stoner just died.

Rosco, you men search him and take their

gun belts.

>> All right, let me have them.

Give me a rose pot, will you?

Say, have you heard about any jobs to be

had around San Anton?

>> No. And $100 others have the same things

in sundown.

>> Uhhuh.

>> Who do I see about getting a cot for

tonight?

>> Me? If you got 50 cents,

>> 50? The sign over there says 25 cents

for a cup.

>> That's when things are slow. 50 cents.

Take what you can find.

>> It's kind of steep.

>> No laughing, no talking, no singing, no

drinking, and no snoring, and no

spitting.

Right through that door and don't step

on anyone.

>> I want to bet down the horse. Is there

livery handy?

>> Cross the street. He charges 60 cents.

>> Well, that seems fair enough.

[snorts]

It seems to me like you could stand a

good scrubbing yourself.

Water wash away a man's protection, less

mirrors into his body, and I'm too damn

old to take chances.

>> Well, what you're saying is the truth.

You must be the best protected man in

town.

>> Well, I ain't sick, never been sick, and

don't tend to be sick. Next. Now, if you

going to shave, I'll fill a pan. But if

you ain't, I won't.

>> Fill a pan.

Tell me that you're a hangman.

>> They told you you're right, friend.

Left Oklahoma City 3 weeks ago and

headed for Valverie, Texas.

This is going to be one of the biggest

jobs I've had in years. The Bishop gang.

Judge tried them, found him guilt

to hang high as a Georgia pine. Good

riddens for the state of Texas, too.

When that bunch is out of the way,

coming to do the catch.

Killed one, caught five. Exquant men

mostly. Eastway's bishop is the first

Texans I ever hung.

I plan to enjoy it.

>> Hey, bring my clothes over here, will

you? Ain't you going to see you?

>> No.

>> What in the world? Can't make up your

mind. Oh, can't stand. I got to keep

this place thick to spin all the time.

Come here, make up the mind. I can't get

up. Bringing in the sheep. Bringing in

the sheep. We will come rejing. Bringing

in the sheep. Bringing in the sheep.

Bringing in the sheep. We will come

rejoicing. Bringing in the sheep.

Bringing in the sheep.

Bringing in the sheep. We will come.

Bring it in.

>> Afternoon.

Howdy.

Get down and set a spell, friend. Got

more fish here if you're hungry.

>> Quite a generous of you.

>> I'm a generous man. Believe in it. Make

yourself to home. Coffee there, sweet

biscuits there. Hey, got all the

comforts.

>> Yes, sir, friend. I enjoy life. My

soul's on fire with the spirit of it, if

you know what I mean. That's fine.

That's fine.

Well,

looks me like you must be a rope

drummer.

Oh,

no. are just the tools of my profession.

I'm a hangman. A hangman. Well, I'll

declare. On my way to hang the Bishop

gang down Valerie.

>> Oh, yeah. Heard about. Well, they

finally got that bunch, huh? Caught,

jailed, tried, and going to hang.

>> Well, I sure am happy to come across

you, M. Mr. Grimes. Aie Grimes of the

Oklahoma Grimes.

>> Mr. Grind. Yes, sir. Yeah, I'm sure I am

happy I have run across. You know, I've

always been sort of curious about your

job.

>> Well, there's a lot more to it than most

folks think. There's nothing worse than

a sloppy hanging.

Back in Oklahoma, I once watched him

hang a fella five times before it took

five time five.

>> Well, now just exactly what do you have

to know, Mr. grimes. In order to make a

good, clean, professional job of it,

>> just about everything.

>> Have to know how tall your subject is,

how much he weighs, his neck size,

and how he feels about it all. Then you

have to be certain.

>> What? No. Excuse me. You mean to say

that you have to know how the fellow

you're going to hang feels about it?

>> Oh, yes, sir. The scared man was crying

and praying and shaking and moving all

around. It's a lot harder to send to his

maker than one who's decided to just

stand there and take it.

>> Uh-huh.

Well, I had a subject last year. Took me

the most part of an hour just to get him

up off his knees. Is that a fact? That's

a fact. Now, you can't hang a subject

when he's on his knees. It just don't

look right.

And I'll tell you one more thing. When

you select a rope,

>> what are you looking at?

>> You tell me.

>> Hey, Robbie.

>> What?

>> I got a young boy here who's worried

about his future.

I reckon he is at that too.

You know, I hope to God that they don't

dump himself and myself in the same hole

for I have enough explain to do up there

without having him along.

>> I better be a lookout and your pop.

>> Let me tell you something, Bishop. I've

been on the wrong side of the fence in

the law for over 40 years, and I ain't

never been in jail long enough to soften

up a char of tobacco.

right out of you. And here I am watching

them build my own gall.

>> Well, everybody else has had their say.

How about you?

>> Don't look too good, does it?

[music]

[music]

down.

What do you [music]

do?

[music]

>> [music]

>> Aussie Grimes named Sheriff down from

Oklahoma to prove once more that the

sins of the fathers are visit on the

sons and that's true in Texas just like

any place else. The Southwest will be a

better place to live once our work's

finished.

>> Well, I'm July Johnson, Mr. Grimes. I'm

the one that sent for you.

>> Uh-huh.

>> Um, this here's my deputy, Rasco

Bookbinder.

>> I didn't know you, son.

>> Addie. Known him all his life. Born in a

Hogan, north of El Paso.

>> Fine boy.

>> Fine. Fine. Well, uh, first off,

Sheriff, I'd like to see the subjects,

if you don't mind.

>> The what?

>> What? The subjects.

>> You talking about the prisoners?

>> In my profession, they're subjects.

>> In my jail, they're nothing. Follow me.

Well, here they are, Mr. Grimes. All

ready for you.

>> Well, that's enough.

>> I wonder if you fellas would move

forward a little uh near to the barge.

Would you just come forward here? All

right, do what the man says.

>> Ah, Sheriff, seems like to me you've got

four good necks here that ought to snap

pretty good. I'm just not quite sure

about this one. How much do you weigh,

son?

>> I don't I don't know.

>> You don't know? Well, maybe it'd be all

right. I always like to do a nice clean

job of it, sheriff. Usually, when I have

a lightweight like this, I just strap 50

lb bag of sand on them, get some weight

on them, and then that old neck

Just like that. How do you feel about it

all, son?

You're crazy. Now, you you're not going

to be praying and crying and all that

stuff. It'll just hold up the procedure.

Won't make it any easier for me or you.

This one, Bishop Share.

>> Yeah, that's him.

>> You rode with a Quant Trail, did you?

>> All the way. in Lawrence, Kansas. You

You were in on that?

>> I was there.

>> You must have made your mother mighty

proud.

>> Hangman,

I never harmed a woman or a child.

We're planning on high noon tomorrow if

that suits you, Mr. Grimes.

>> That'll be fine. That'll be fine. You

know, Sheriff, when a man in my

profession gets a chance to work with

equipment like that, it it just makes

him proud.

>> Uh-huh.

>> You You're expecting a big crowd, I

imagine.

>> Well, it's a free country. Folks want to

watch you hanging, they got a right,

too.

>> Mhm. Well, then I'd like to advise you

about two things, Sheriff. I found out

from bitter experience that when folks

come into town for a hanging, all guns

should be confiscated until after the

proceedings and all saloon should be

closed.

>> Well, let's see what I can do.

>> Do it. Do it.

>> These men deserve to hang, but they

don't deserve to hang cold sober while a

bunch of drunks stand around watching.

That man sure

loves his work.

Now bed your horses down, Mr. Grahams.

>> Fine. These ropes stay with me.

>> Her name's Maria Stoner. Hangman. One of

the men you're going to send away

tomorrow killed her husband.

>> Have that sil ready for me in the

morning.

And this is the last one, Mrs. Stoner.

Well, the unfortunate demise of your

husband has left you quite a sizable

estate.

>> What you mean, senority, is that the

death of my husband has made me the

wealthiest woman in this county.

>> Well, it's quite a jump for a little

girl from south of the border.

I have to be going.

>> Miss Donor,

it might be wise if we discussed the

disposition of your ranch.

>> Disposition?

>> Yes. Several weeks ago, I had a

discussion with Nathan about a possible

sale. I made him an offer. He seemed

quite agreeable.

>> The wrench is not for sale.

>> But surely you don't expect to live out

there.

>> I intend to keep it.

>> But you don't intend to run it. No woman

in her right mind would attempt to

operate a 150,000 acre spread.

>> Whether or not I succeed in operating

it, Mr. Carter, is not your concern.

I can take care of myself.

>> I think you overestimate your ability,

Miss Donor.

>> Perhaps I do.

Good day, Mr. Carter.

>> Mr. garden. I was a [ __ ] at 13 and my

family of 12 never went hungry.

>> When you figure we'll make our play de

not tonight.

>> If we don't do something tonight, we're

going to hang tomorrow.

>> You got any ideas?

>> No, but you should.

>> Well, I do, old man. So, shut up.

>> Hey, lady, tell me, what miracle are you

going to perform when the sun comes up?

Huh?

>> All right, step up and get it.

>> Same damn chili and beans. Give me a

beef steak.

>> Beef steak? My ass.

>> Hell pork chops up 15 cents a pound.

Man's talking about it. He wants beef

steak.

Nice night, isn't it, Miss Stoner? Oh,

I'm sorry.

>> How do you know [music] my name?

>> Well, I somehow get the idea just about

everybody around here knows your name.

I'm I'm very pleased to meet you.

I'm uh I apologize for the intrusion.

I'm being a little forward now.

>> Oh, please don't go.

You are the hangman, aren't you? Uh

well, I'm uh

I getting all liquored up for the big

day tomorrow. Celebration over the death

of fellow human beings.

>> That is a strange thought for a hangman.

Do you have a family?

>> A brother? He's all left.

It was the war, Mr. Stoner. The war took

our family. Almost took me, but I'm

pretty fast runner.

Good night.

>> Good night.

>> I I didn't know him, but I'm sorry about

your husband, Mrs. Stoner.

I'm sorry.

>> Thank you.

Going to be a big day tomorrow, Rosco.

Better get some sleep.

and Miss Stoner.

Maria.

>> Yes.

>> Uh, do you do you mind if I come in for

a minute?

>> Well, I I would prefer you, didn't I?

>> I won't take but a minute, ma'am.

What is it, Sheriff?

>> My friends call me Julie. Ma'am,

I wish you were one.

Oh, well, I'll tell you what, ma'am.

I'll be your friend, and you just don't

bother about being mine.

Uh, the reason I come up here tonight

was to see if there was anything I could

do for you. Anything at all?

>> No, no, there's nothing. I going home

tomorrow.

>> Oh,

I see.

Well, it still goes

>> anytime.

>> July.

>> Thank you.

Morning.

>> Good morning.

>> Wow. I'll see you, Trevor.

>> They got it working fine, hangman. Now

it's up to you.

A man that's been hung by Aussie Grimes

stays hung.

Bishop,

it appears to me I have misjudged you.

The town's filling up and you ain't even

made a move yet.

>> Well, it appears to me I've misjudged

you, too, Pop. You're scared.

>> It's my boy I'm thinking of. He ain't

even full grudge yet.

>> I'm scared, D. And I ain't ashamed of

it. Babe, when the time comes, whatever

we have to do, we better be quick about

it.

You, too, Robbie. When we have to move,

move.

>> Right, Lady.

>> I'm sorry. Come back.

>> Yeah. Hey, check your guns in over

there.

>> Sorry, part.

>> All we can do is do

>> Hey, it's that way.

>> Put the rifles over there, gentlemen.

Just put your rifle in that pack.

>> Tell you what, just don't lose my gun.

We asked you not to worm the car in the

first place.

>> Get it back in a little while.

>> LOOK AT

It's about that time, ain't it?

>> Yeah, just about. Run them out.

I clear a path down there.

So, hold it right there. All

right, come up the steps one at a time.

>> I knew you'd do it. Ready?

>> Who you going to hang?

>> Hold it right there. All right. Break it

up. Break the crowd up. All right. Get

back there. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Get back there. Get back.

>> Bring that wagon up here.

Come on. Get out of here.

Keep them covered. Take what you need

and get rid of the rest of them.

You think you'll get far, Bishop?

>> Not as far as you were going to send me.

Go.

GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

it, sir?

>> Well, I wouldn't exactly say that.

>> Can I help you?

>> Uh, yes. Yes. I'd appreciate it very

much if you'd fill these up with money.

But, but you're the hangman, so now you

see, you're wrong about that, too. And I

don't really feel I have time to explain

it all to you. So, just do as I say, and

you'll stay healthy, and everything will

be all right. Just uh fill them up.

Get in there.

>> It's tough world, isn't it?

We ain't got no time. You ain't planning

to waste none of it around here, are

you?

>> Well, if you want to cross that border

with no grub, you go right ahead, pop,

and take the kid with you.

Hurry up. Take as much as you can.

>> You didn't have to do this.

>> I didn't do it. He did it. And if he

hadn't have done it, I'd have done it.

Robbie, take her to cover.

Leave me alone.

Hey, where'd he go?

NOW,

HEY, HEY,

WOW.

WOW.

I GOT THAT STONER WOMAN. I ALMOST SHOT

HER.

>> YEAH, I know.

>> Here's the word, Rosco. God help the man

that hurts her.

>> Right.

>> How does a man become an animal like

you?

Don't shoot the stoner woman.

Don't shoot the stoner woman.

>> You going to let her stop you? YOU CAN'T

ASK ME.

>> I HAVEN'T ASKED ANYTHING, CARTER.

did the hangman

[music]

Heat. Heat.

[music]

If there's something you know that we

won't.

>> I think you better tell us what it is.

>> You're with us. Whatever happens to us

happens to you, maybe even more so.

>> The country we have been through between

here and Rio Grande is patrolled by the

Federalis.

From here south is the territorial

Bandolo.

>> What's that territorial bando?

>> Bandit country. They kill every gringo

they can find.

>> You don't look too worried.

>> I am not a gringo.

>> Well, there's a town called Savinas just

south of here.

>> It is a three-day ride.

>> We'll be safe there.

I don't think the sheriff will fall that

deep in.

>> We will follow.

>> What makes you so certain?

>> Because you have something he has wanted

for a long time.

What's that?

>> Me.

Four, maybe 5 hours.

This is the first time I have been in my

country since I left.

I always knew I would come back again,

but not quite this way.

H

>> how'd you come to marry your husband,

Miss Stoner?

He bought me, Mr. Bishop.

He found me in the back room of a

cantina.

He liked me and he bought me.

He gave my father five cows and a gun.

It made my father the richest man in our

village.

>> Did you ever come to love him?

>> No.

But he was kind to me. He was

considerate.

And he took me from something I never

felt a part of.

He gave me a home.

Now here I am.

>> Well, from the looks of you, Miss

Stoner, you have a long way yet to go.

>> Want some coffee?

>> Excuse me.

Mace, if you're ever alone with Pop and

his little boy, don't you turn your back

on him.

>> I know. I can't decide which of us they

hate the most.

>> Oh, it's you. I think you're right,

>> Mace. I ain't had a chance to tell you,

but sure was real good to see you again.

And you know, sometimes I think back to

how it used to be with you and me. You

remember when

>> that that was yesterday. Now, let's talk

about today.

>> All right. What about today?

Why do you ride with men like these?

Oh, I don't know. I just got used to it.

I guess through the years, you know, you

begin to go one way, you keep on going

that way, and pretty soon there's no

other way.

>> You really believe that?

>> No, I guess not.

>> You sure are pretty.

>> Pretty. Pretty woman ain't good for

nothing but smelling sweet laying around

the house. [laughter]

>> Just so pretty.

>> Is it after a little kiss, babe? Oh,

he's a great kisser, ma'am. He's the

best damn lady kisser in the whole of

Texas.

>> Leave a woman alone.

>> Oh, hell. He wouldn't harm a hair in her

head, lady.

>> She's a lady. Treat her like one.

Time we got some sleep.

How far are we going, July?

I mean, are we just going to keep

following them till we come up on them

or what? No matter how far they go.

>> That's right.

Suppose they just keep going on forever.

>> And we'll just keep going on forever.

What if we lose them?

>> There's only a couple of places they

could be headed. There's only a couple

of places with water.

I won't lose it.

I'll find them or I'll find their bones,

but I won't lose them.

Hold up. JULIE,

>> this don't make sense no more. July,

>> what don't make sense. Hawkins,

>> we've come too far already. Ain't no

telling where we'll end up dead most

likely if we keep going.

>> You want to turn back?

>> Wanting ain't part of it. I'm turning

back. Anybody

going with me?

Ain't nobody coming with me.

>> Maybe he's right. Johnson,

>> don't make no sense no more. I mean, it

just don't make sense.

>> Goodbye. Ross Hawkins,

you coming with us?

It's not the Bishop gang he's after now.

It's the Stoner woman. Just like Carter

said.

Heat. Heat.

Hey, wait up there. Wait for me.

What are you hurrying so far? That

sheriff can't go any faster than we can.

You're giving out, pup.

>> Oh, it's just that I don't see no sense

in hurry. And that's all.

>> So the old bastardo is not as tough as

he smells.

How can two brothers be so different?

>> Oh, Mace. Oh, he believes in the

goodness of his fellow man. He's never

seen it, you understand? But he believes

it. I've never seen it either. I don't

believe in it.

>> What do you believe in?

>> I believe in myself.

>> You fool nobody but yourself. And I

don't believe you even do that. You

really think you had a hard life, don't

you, de Bishop?

>> You don't understand.

>> No.

>> What would you know about uh having to

scrape for a living? I could tell you a

lot of things about the hard life, but

you'd have to live the hard life to

understand it.

>> Yes, I believe that.

Heat. Heat.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Jackson,

we need ain't going no further. This is

it. We're turning back.

>> All of you.

>> All of us. You just ain't going to find

them.

>> I'll find them.

>> Do you know how big this country is?

Why? It just swallowed them up. For all

we know, they

>> was missing.

>> We came into that pass with 10 men. I

count eight of us now.

>> Clyde Anderson ain't with us. July

Wade Phillips is missing, too.

You're lying.

All right, Court. You and the men can

ride back home if you want to.

Of course, that's the only way

you want to ride 50 miles around.

All right, then. You stay here till we

get back.

>> [music]

>> Stay where you are. You wouldn't

recognize them anyway.

>> Reckon the other one's around here

somewhere.

>> They Indians July. No bandits.

>> If you want a ride for home, you leave

right now from here, Rosco. Now, I'll

understand. I'll tell the others I sent

you home to report.

>> I'll stay with you, [music] July.

>> Now, you don't have to. I just want you

to know that.

>> No, I'll stick. And if anybody ever says

to me, "Did you ride all over Mexico

with [music] Julia Johnson?"

I can say to him, "Yep,

I rode all over Mexico with July

Johnson."

You're a good boy. All was said.

You stop picking your nose, boy. It

ain't mannerly.

>> You had no call to do that

>> now. None of your lip.

>> You're raising up your boy to be a good

Christian. I see. Mr. Cheney,

me. [clears throat] The almighty rest

his damn bones.

You see things a man ought never do.

front of his mic's

nose. Yes, that's what my paw learned me

and it stood me in goodstead.

>> I don't imagine your paw ever mentioned

shooting people and burning their house

down, stealing, things like that.

>> I'm talking about mannerly things, Mr.

Bishop. I ain't talking about making a

living.

Oh,

>> what the hell, Bishop?

>> You're leaning on my saddle, Mr. Cheney.

You lean on your own saddle.

>> Hey, babe. Get out there and see if

anything's moving. They

Something wrong?

>> Things have been wrong a long time. De,

don't you think it's about time we have

a talk?

>> Well, I'll tell you the truth.

>> Yeah. Yeah. No, it's Liars always start

that way.

>> No, Mace. I'll tell you the truth. I

can't remember back to a single instance

where talking has ever gotten me any

place. But you go right ahead. You tell

me what you want to talk about, and I'll

tell you if I want to join you.

>> All right.

I want to talk about us having a place

of our own. Our own ranch. How's that

sound to you?

>> No way. A rooster without a hen.

>> How come? Seems to me I can remember

back to a time you wanted a place of

your own awful bad.

>> Well, that was before the war. We were

younger then.

>> Oh, well, not that much younger.

>> Well, young enough to think about a good

woman. You know how long it's been since

I've been with a woman I could respect?

I may not be good, Mace, but I sure do

know what good's supposed to be. We were

young enough back in those days to think

about children and grandchildren. Oh,

>> come on now. You're not telling me

you're too old to be a father. I'm not

saying that. I'm just saying you reach a

time when you know all them things are

lost to you.

>> They're not lost to you, D.

They're not lost. You may have thrown

some of them away. They're not lost to

you.

Get up, babe.

Yeah.

Honest

D, I wasn't going to do nothing but kiss

her.

What's wrong with a little old kiss?

Nothing wrong with a little old kiss, D.

Little old kiss never hurt nobody.

From

now on, you and me are going to be close

together whether you like it or not.

I can't stand the thought of something

like him with his hands on something

like you.

>> I thought he was your friend.

>> He is, but that don't make him any less

disgusting.

As a matter of fact, all my friends are

disgusting.

>> You take Pop for instance. He was due to

be shot the day he was born. And that

heart of his, that's nothing but a

festering sore.

His kid, he's something, ain't he?

>> If you feel that way about them, why are

you with them?

>> I know where they stand,

and I know where respectable people

stood.

>> Maybe they don't know themselves.

You say the sheriff's always wanted you.

>> He is a good man.

>> I I reckon he's got you all to himself

now.

>> He's a good man, but I feel nothing for

him.

>> Why do you laugh?

>> I was just thinking

would make a perfect pair, you and me.

I'm broke without a woman. And you're

rich without a man.

>> [music]

>> This ain't Sabinus, is it, Lady?

>> Is this what you br us to?

This is the town by the ghost.

>> Looks that way, Mace. Sure does look

that way.

>> A lot of horses through here lately, D.

Maybe not more in a day or so.

>> Those came barefoot.

>> Well, this your country, Miss Stoner,

what do you think happened to these

people?

>> Bandoleros.

They demand too much of the people. When

they grow tired of being raided, they

leave as they have done here.

>> What you mean to say? A whole town just

packs up and leaves and never comes

back? Well, sometimes they go to a

larger town where they can be protected

by the soldiers of Bonito Huarees.

>> A maze we'll put up over there at the

camp team. That's a best place around.

>> [music]

>> and down. Morning now.

Downing

[music]

Morning.

Morning.

[music]

>> [music]

>> I get

high. [music]

What do you plan on doing now, Dave?

>> We'll just rest up here a few days,

ride on to Kadal Go for supplies, then

push on to Malam Moros. I got friends in

Malamos.

Well, what about Mrs. Stoner?

Mace, you think we could uh make a go of

it in Montana? Steve, there's a town up

there called Missoula. Prettiest little

place you ever saw.

>> What about the Indians?

>> And and the Rockies are snowcapped and

the slopes are forested and there are

lots of lakes and valleys.

>> Indians.

>> And there's deer in Montana D and

analopee and elk and black bear.

>> What about the Indians?

>> And

what Indians? Ain't there no Indians in

Montana?

>> Well, they few. Ain't

>> the northern Cheyenne in Montana.

>> The Well, Northern Cheyenne.

I I wouldn't lie to you.

>> The Crow and the Sue.

>> Well, they're around.

>> What else, Mace?

>> Listen, D.

>> What else?

>> Well, the

Black Feet and Chip war, some cre Yes.

Yes, there are cre in Montana

>> and the Shashony and the Coutin and the

Stony.

>> Just what are you trying to say?

>> Trying to say there's a lot of goddamn

Indians in Montana, Mace.

Oh, you're impossible to talk to. Wait a

minute. Will you sit down, Mace?

I'm tired, Mace. Bone tired. I can't

even remember what it feels like to get

up in the morning feeling rested and

clean, having a good breakfast. I can't

even remember what it feels like to slip

down in between some cool, clean sheets.

Mace, we'll need money. Have you thought

about that?

>> I think I know where I can get my hands

on some. Ah,

>> your brother won't never make it.

There's only one way for him, for me,

for any of us.

What way is that, Mr. Cheney?

>> This way. The way we know, the way we

grow.

>> Well, now that may be so for you, but

for my brother, it's different.

>> I don't care if he is your brother. The

son of a [ __ ]

Now,

before you apologize, I'm going to tell

you something, Mr. Cheney.

My brother and I are the sons of an

honest dirt farmer. A man has slaved all

his life from sun up to sun down. Never

took time except to deliver his own

children and go to meet on Sunday. a man

who died of old age at 45 and who never

saw more than $10 at one time in his

whole life. And we're the sons of a

woman that married him for his goodness

because she was good. And now you can

apologize for slandering my family, Mr.

Cheney.

I'll blow your head off.

Ah, you ain't no killer. You ain't got

the stomach for it. Apologize.

>> I'm sorry, Mr. Bishop.

It mean no harm.

I'm going outside, D. I'd appreciate if

you see I don't get shot in the back.

July.

>> What if she won't have you?

Why shouldn't she have me?

>> Well, I don't know. Just

she might not want you.

>> You trying to tell me something, Rosco?

>> No, July. It's just Well, because you

want her doesn't mean that she's got to

want you right back,

does it?

I don't want to talk about it.

Why?

>> What?

>> Why don't you want to talk about it,

July?

>> Rosco, I just don't. Now, Rosco, you've

been a good boy all of these years. Now,

don't

spoil it.

>> Who's standing guard?

>> Jeters.

Well,

I reckon I'll go spell

>> [music]

[music]

>> There's another one who will never make

it to Mammoras.

>> How many does that make?

>> Three.

Looks to me like we'll be mostly walking

when we leave.

>> You two have gotten pretty close,

haven't you?

>> Oh, nothing's been said.

>> Well, nothing has to be said.

>> It's just a feeling, ma, you know, just

a feeling. But

>> But what?

>> I know she has the same feeling.

Have you thought about asking her?

>> Asking?

>> D, I know you don't believe in talking

and you've said that talking never got

you anywhere, but how in the world are

you ever going to find out anything from

anybody if you don't talk?

There will be coffee soon.

>> I want to ask you something.

>> Yes.

>> I know I had done you real wrong.

And even if I wanted,

it's kind of late for apologizing.

I know there's no reason in this whole

world why you wouldn't like to step on

something like me,

but but uh do you think you could ever

take to a man who dragged you from your

home and done you the way I'd done you?

I'll be damned.

>> What'd you say?

>> Nothing.

>> Oh, well, you two are going to be very

happy.

>> Hey, Mace, what does she mean by that?

She She just looked at me, hugged me.

She didn't say nothing.

>> Oh, boy. Oh, you're a sorry, D. You're

so dumb.

>> I am?

>> Yes, you are.

>> Oh, well, how would you like a knife

right in your teeth, mate?

>> No. No. Listen to me, D. Do you want to

go up to Montana with me, or don't you?

Do you want to help me build our spread

up there, or don't you?

>> I reckon that.

>> And the children? What about them?

>> What children? Children of your own. The

ones you used to want. What about them?

And what about her? Do you want her to

go with you to Montana?

>> Be right. Yeah. Well, then go and tell

her.

>> You're right. It's right, Maze. Now,

what didn't I think of that?

>> Bishop, close the door.

Come on in.

All right. Tell them it's over. Rice go.

>> [music]

>> Now, just so we understand one another,

you make one move that don't set right

with me and I'll kill you. Now, what's

your real name?

>> Mace Bishop.

>> Bishop. You're brothers. You hear that,

Rosco? They're brothers.

All right, brothers. Where'd you hide

the bank money?

What bank money?

>> Always going to be that way, is it?

>> THE $10,000 YOUR BROTHER THERE TOOK out

of the Valverie bank. $10,000 that he

helped himself to when the rest of you

lit up. That's what bank money.

>> You robbed a bank. You Mace H. The bank

was there and I was there and there

wasn't very much of anybody else there.

And it just seemed like the thing to do,

you know. It's not like you something

you never heard of.

I mean, a lot of people rob banks for

all sorts of different reasons.

>> You just walked into a bank and helped

yourself to $10,000 cuz it seemed like

the thing to do.

>> That's about the way it was. Yeah. As uh

as well as I can remember. Yeah.

>> I don't know what to say to you, Mace.

Well, just don't say anything, D. Just

don't say a word.

>> Well, you old bastard. Now I know what

you meant when you said I might be able

to get my hands on some money. You

planned on us

we were going to start our new spread on

stolen money.

>> Just a thought, D. Just a thought.

>> Well, I'm sure glad mama ain't around to

hear all this.

>> Well, I sure wish Papa was around to

hear all this. Wouldn't it be wonderful

to see $10,000 in puppet's hands?

$10,000 in the hands of a man that

didn't know there was that much money in

the whole world.

I think I'm going to be sick to my

stomach. Now tie them up. Tie them all

up.

Uh, we're going home in the morning.

Ain't July?

I sure hope so.

I found a place for you to sleep

tonight, ma'am.

>> I don't mind sleeping here. Well, yes,

ma'am. But I don't think you should.

You just don't seem right somehow.

right over there.

>> Now, there's no need to worry. There'll

be somebody on guard all night long.

This isn't much, but it's the best I

could find. You'll be safe here.

>> I was not worried about my safety.

>> You don't have to be with them bishops

now.

>> You know, I like them.

>> I beg you pardon, ma'am.

>> I said I like them. Both of them.

I'd like to talk to you about something,

Maria.

>> You have ridden a long way for nothing,

July, if you have come for me.

>> Look, I'm stable.

>> I know.

>> And I'm reliable.

>> No, July, but don't you understand?

>> Oh, Rusco told me that just cuz I like

you, you don't have to like me back. And

that's the truth. But

>> Oh, what are you looking for, ma'am?

>> Nothing.

I have found it.

You men pack all the water we can tote.

Throw away everything we don't need.

All right, I'm going to ask you again.

And I want to hear nothing about your

mama. I want to hear nothing about how

disappointed you are in each other.

I don't want to hear nothing about how

the Lord's going to forgive you for

sinking solo. Where did you hide the

money?

You know, it'd go a lot easier on you if

you told me where it was hid.

>> What about my brother?

>> Uh-uh. Money or no money? Your brother's

going to hang.

>> Your kind don't live long in prison.

Mace, why don't you tell him where it

is? Go and give it to him.

Well, Sheriff,

I I figure if I ever want money bad

enough again, I can always rob another

bank. I never knew it was so easy. Come

on, help me out.

>> Don't do it, Bishop. We'll get you out

of this. Now,

>> you ain't getting out of nothing,

Cheney, so shut your mouth.

>> It's a long way to the border, Sheriff.

And I'm going to take special pleasure

in cutting your

>> tough world, isn't it, Mr. Cheney?

>> There it is.

Rusting like a baby.

>> Is that really the best you could hide

it?

>> Go tell JULY WE'RE READY.

IT'S JULY.

I'M TIRED. GET BACK ON THE FLOOR.

>> COME ON, SHERIFF. UNTIE US AND GIVE US

GUNS. YOU'LL NEVER HOLD OFF THAT MANY.

TURN THEM LOOSE. COME ON. COME ON.

GET OUT.

WOW.

>> [screaming]

[screaming]

>> LEAVE ME BOY

in here.

I I HOPE THEY CAN HEAR ME. I HOPE THEY

CAN DIE.

HEY.

[screaming]

THIS GRACI

CUTINO. NO,

[screaming]

I have something.

[screaming]

>> [screaming]

>> [ __ ]

DOWN.

OH,

get out.

You are heavy.

My god.

>> [laughter]

>> Well, when you hug me, did that mean yes

or no?

>> It meant yes.

>> You really would have been my woman, my

wife. I mean,

you'd have gone to Montana with us.

[gasps]

Did you hear that? Mace,

>> you here, Mace?

I'm here. D

Pete was right.

That little kiss never hurt nobody.

See?

>> [clears throat]

>> Did you mean what you said to my

brother?

for the first time in my life.

I'm I'm glad.

I'm awful glad

because you you see D always wanted to

believe. He always

always wanted the right things.

But there was just something in them.

It just

it was always hard for D to see the

light at the end of the trail.

It almost worked.

No one will even know who lies here.

>> Does it matter?

>> Perhaps not.
