Theo, where is my whiskey?

The doctor don't recommend
no more of that for you.

I did not ask you
what that fool doctor recommended.

Now, where is my whiskey?

Doctor say you can't have none.

For the third and last time, woman,
will you get me some whiskey?

I don't know
what I'm gonna do with you.

You the most outrageous
sick man I ever did see.

Theo, how many years
you been around this house?

Now, you know, Master Carter,
as well as I do.

I been here going on 21 years.

I think.

You know, you have spent

the last 21 years of your life

trying to help me make
something out of mine.

Well, you failed, Theo.

Looks like you failed.

I failed.

Ä°t ain't no use in
you carrying on like that.

Now there's some things I
want to get in order before I die.

Settle down so I can talk to you.

All sick folks don't die.

Theo, I want you to be free when I die.

I ain't never asked you
nothing about no freedom.

I got my obligations
right here in this house.

If I'd have been
so worried about freedom,

I could have walked off
here any time I wanted to,

and I don't think you'd have
sent nobody looking for me.

Now you just turn over there
and try to get yourself some rest.

Master Carter, if you
want to free somebody,

you can free my boy, Charley.

He's young.

He's got his life ahead of him.

If you free him he can
make something of his self.

Theo, Charley is
a very fine blacksmith.

Good smiths are hard to come by.

Master Carter,

you ain't thinking about
selling Charley?

You wouldn't do that!
I know you wouldn't!

Now, you know I would
never sell anybody,

at least not by choice,
but, well, like I told you,

this whole plantation is encumbered.

By that I mean,

I owe a lot of money

to a lot of people.

You free Charley and I promise

I'll stay here no matter what.

Very well, Theo.

I'll take care of it.

-Thank you.
-Charley can go free.

Thank you.

You going to just stand there or
you gona come in here and say hello?

Just what you got on your mind?

Go on to the big house.

I'm coming up to see Master Carter.
I'll be up there later.

-Charley.
-Yeah, Josh?

It's going to happen tomorrow.

You sure?

-We can't wait no longer, Charley.
-But how do you know?

Toby told me.

Toby?

He told me that Houston done made him

start to get the house
ready for the guests.

They even brought fighting cocks
up from Farmington.

But he can't sell us.
Master Carter ain't dead.

He's just as good as dead.

And that bastard Houston,

he don't give one damn
about Master Carter.

You know that.

He don't give one damn
about nothing, Charley.

Master Carter owns us.

Houston don't.

Toby.

Toby, is it true what Joshua told me

about you having to get
ready for a slave sale?

Tomorrow.

You're damn right.
One more day and we'll be gone.

And Mr. Houston taking
everything on himself

as if he own the place.

But I don't understand.
How can he sell us with Master Carter

lying up there, ain't even dead?

You tell me.
That man's so filled with hate

that he got Carter dead
in his mind already.

Charley.

Charley, come up here.

Master Carter wants to see you.

You just a worrier.

Look at you!
Fasten up your shirt.

And don't go
smart mouthing Master Carter.

Yes, ma.

He's got something for you.

What's that, mama?

Your freedom, son.

Go on!

Leda, where you going?

I want to show you something.

I can't right now, Charley.

I got to fetch something
for Miss Emily.

Come over and see me after you finish.
It's important.

-What the hell you doing here?
-Master Carter...

I thought I told you
I wanted those shoes done by tonight!

Master Carter's dying.

Well, you're really concerned
about Master Carter, ain't you?

Go on. Get!

I didn't say for you to leave.

I thought it...

You thought, you never had a thought
in your life, Black boy.

Now tell me, what were you
doing in Carter's room?

Master Carter gave me this.

I know you didn't write that note.

You don't even know
how to sign your name.

You got no right to be free, boy.

Only a man's got a right to be free
and you ain't a man, you're a nigger!

How is the old reprobate?

He ain't no better
and he ain't no worse.

But he had his stuff, I
expect he's gone to sleep.

I thought I told you not to
give him anything to drink.

I know you gave me
strict orders, Doctor,

but you didn't give strict
orders to Master Carter.

You can't dig no yams
with a bible verse.

You got to have a hoe.

He's sleeping.

That boy of yours
is in a lot of trouble,

old woman, you hear?

Charley ain't done no harm.

He's in a mess of trouble from now on.

I ain't as soft as Carter in there.

You niggers ain't gonna
get away with a damn thing.

I'm gonna work your skins
clean off to the bone.

Charley! Charley!

I just been talking to Toby.
Is it true what he said?

We all going to be sold?

I can sure read.
I can read every word.

What you reading?

Theo been teaching me to read
ever since I was that high.

Charley, we going be sold!

He shouldn't have
said those things to me.

What things, Charley?
Who been talking to you?

That Houston!

Toby says he's gonna
put up a slave stand.

This paper is my freedom.

Where did you get that?

Master Carter. Look.

Look, Leda.
It says here I'm a free man.

I'm scared, Charley.

You going to take me with you?

Leda, don't be scared.

Of course I'm gonna take you with me.

Of course, of course.

So, that's how they do it.

Just like you.

Crack that whip, Black boy.

Your fooling time is over, nigger.

Not one word.

I'll tear your throat
out I hear just one peep.

Just one.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to hit you.

We had no cause to do that.

You hit me.

You Black son of a bitch,
you hit your master!

Get him!

Hold on!

You free boy?

Yeah, you're real free.

Like a rat, you're free!

I tell you, I really miss the water.

You should have been there, Daniel.

I tracked him to a whore
house in New Orleans

and I opened the door
and there Williams was

lying in bed stark naked

with this big cigar
hanging out of his mouth,

and his arms wrapped around
this pretty little chick.

Sort of froze when he saw me,
holding tight to that little gal.

-What'd you do?
-I started laughing.

You started laughing?

The two of them were
lying in bed stark naked,

him and that big cigar
hanging out of his mouth.

What do you want me to do?

What did you do?

I shot him in the head.

-Shot him in the head.
-That cigar fell out of his mouth.

Before I knew it
the whole damn room was on fire.

That's the funniest story
I heard in a long time.

Mr. Houston?

Yes.

I'm Walker. Amos Walker.

-Yes, Mr. Walker, glad to see you.
-Glad to see you.

Niles, this is Mr. Walker,
our auctioneer.

Mr. Walker...

This is Niles Fowler.

-Mr. Fowler.
-Niles Fowler.

I've heard a great deal about you, sir.

Yeah. You just sell them, Walker,
and Niles, he kills them.

I bring them back, Daniel,
that's all I do.

I just bring them back.

You gotta bring them back.

I don't think we'll have too
much trouble today, Mr. Walker.

All these niggers is
overfed, in good condition.

Well, private sale
ain't like a public sale.

You may not get the best prices.

You'll get the best prices.

That's my man, Leroy, over
there getting them ready.

We've got the finest lot of niggers
this side of Richmond.

Just look at them.

Well, the price of corn
ain't what I call low

and high-priced corn calls
for high-priced niggers.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Daniel.

That man is a pig.

I wouldn't trust him to sell a snake.

You is a bad boy, Niles.

Now you is a very bad boy.

Here! Here's number one.

And number one is a number one nigger.

Yes, sir. He's been here on
the Carter plantation for 20 years

and he's never given a lick of trouble.

He is dependable, sound and healthy.

A real bargain.

Do I hear $1000?

Charley.

Toby, Toby, Toby!

Jesus.

By now they're gonna start
a cock fight for the guests.

I'm gonna kill Houston.

You ain't got time for that now.

Now, Charley,

you know that place at
the end of the cornfield?

Well, Joshua has got some horses.

Where'd he get horses?

Well, how the hell do I
know where he got horses?

He stole them.

You just be there.

What are you gonna bet on that?
I'll bet $20.

You want to lose anymore money today?

Take your money back.

All right. Come on, let me have it.

Anybody else got a bet?
Come on, 20 on this one.

Let's take it, come on.

Hey, look at that.

Okay, I got $20 on the
one with the orange leg.

Come on, get him!

Come on, get him!

Get him, get him, get him!

Get him!

-I got it.
-Good, good.

-Did you get to Charley?
-Of course, I did.

He'll be here soon.

-You sure?
-I'm sure.

You go back and make sure.

I'll be right back.

I'll show that nigger.

Come on out of there, nigger.

Houston, come here.

Come back here.

You sold, you sold Leda.

I'm gonna beat you!

It's enough!

Let him go, Charley.

You're gonna kill him!

Let him go, Charley!

Please, Charley!

Toby!

-Charley, we stole guns...
-I want to go back.

-Food, and money.
-I wanna go back.

And I pasted your
freedom papers back together.

I want to go back and get...

-Charley, I stole guns...
-Toby, please.

-Food and money.
-Theo, I want to get Theo!

Toby!

Aah, Toby!

Go back!

Toby!

-Joshua.
-Yeah.

Charley killed Houston.
He bashed his head in.

My God.

Joshua, I gotta go back.

I gotta get Theo.

No, Charley. Charley.
Charley, listen. Listen.

Your mom is gonna be
all right, you understand?

She's gonna stay with Miss Emily.

Come on, let's go.

Saddle my horse.

I'm gonna get me that nigger for sure.

-We leaving?
-Right now, you ass, now move.

I ain't lost a nigger yet
and I don't intend to lose this one.

I'm gonna get you, nigger Charley.

I'm gonna track you down till
you fall on your Black nigger tracks.

That damn white man won't let up.

Come on, Charley.

Would you tell me what
in the hell they pay

that man to work so hard for?

Tobe, you know, whoever
that man is that's following us,

he sure knows his business.

He gonna earn whatever they pay him
if we don't get a move on.

Yeah.

Every time I turn around
there he is on our tracks

like some kind of hound dog.

Hey, Toby, you want to try this?

No.

Come on.

Hit that rock.

-That rock?
-Yeah, that rock.

How can you see with your eyes closed?

How come you know so much about guns?

Just shoot the gun.

What the hell you laughing at?
You ever shot a gun?

The rock.

Cock it.

One more time. Cock it.

I cocked it.

Now it's cocked.

Can't you do nothing right?

Let's try it again.

I give up on you.
Everything you touch is wrong.

I hope the good Lord is on our side
because we gonna need some help.

Easy, boy. Easy, easy.

Let's go.

Hey, Tobe.

What they do to folks out here who
take horses that don't belong to them?

Nothing if they don't catch us.

I know what those folks
following us is going to do

if we don't get the hell out of here.

My ass hurts, Joshua.
You know how bad my ass hurts?

No.

Well it's been hurting
for the last five weeks.

I bet it's gonna hurt for five more.

Let it be, Toby.
It's just going to toughen you up.

I'm gonna put some learning
on you poor Black boys.

Well wait a minute. Who's poor?

Did you know that
everything in life is based on hurt?

What do you mean?

What I said, everything
in life is based on hurting

some part of the body.

How do you figure that?

Well, being born hurts your throat
from screaming so much. Right?

Right.

And picking corn
hurts your neck. Right?

-Right.
-And Houston's whip hurts your back.

No more.

When you swing that
hammer, it hurts your arm.

Yeah.

Getting a little poon tang in the grass
for the first time,

hurts you know where.

And thinking hurts your big head.

That's for sure.

And when I think I'm getting
away from all that on this horse,

my ass hurts.

You just can't win.

Charley, look.

Yeah, I see them, Toby.

Let's keep moving.

You think they're surprised
the black didn't rub off?

Would have surprised me if it had.

This is a pretty nice looking
town, don't you think, Tobe?

Looks strange to me.

I bet there ain't near one Black face
in here except us.

Yeah, I suppose so.

I wonder if we can get a
steak in this old town.

Steak.

Josh, your turn.

I'm tired of running.

Tired of looking over my shoulder

waiting for that man
to catch up with us.

You want to stop in this town?
You're crazy.

Look how them people looking at us.

Charley, whatever you do, I'm with you.

You with us, Toby?

I guess.
I ain't with nobody else.

All right. This is as far as we run.

I guess to these
folks we sure must look strange.

After them Indians,
I guess it don't matter.

I got no more work for niggers.

I said I got no more work.

-I ain't looking for none.
-Then what are you doing in here?

What do most people do in here?

Don't sass me, boy.
Most folks board their horses here.

And that's what I'm doing.

-Well, you can't.
-Can't what?

-You can't put your horse in here.
-Why not?

Because you're Black.

But my money is white.

His front left is shy.
Rub him down real good.

I mean what I say.
You rub him down real good.

I practice every day with my gun.

Every day.

And I'm good.

I'm real good.

Yeah, yeah, right, right, right, son.
I'll bet you are.

Watch it.
You gonna shoot yourself in the foot.

Just tell him in Spanish.
Can you speak Spanish?

I can't speak Spanish neither.

Maybe we don't look Spanish.

Maybe they got something
against Spanish too?

Three beers.

-Three beers.
-Don't you know your place, nigger?

All right. Who is it?

Who is what, nigger boy?
Nobody gave you permission to talk!

Out!

What are you waiting for?

It's my bar.

Shall I offer you two gentlemen
a drink?

Drinks are on me.
What'll you have?

My friend and I here, we'd
like a couple of beers. Right?

Well, now, don't you use
no false bottoms on us.

Sir, I'll have you know

I never use false bottoms
on my best customers.

And by God, you two are my
best customers.

How come he get more than I do?

I think I got a fly in mine.
-You sure do.

Goes to show you this bar
wasn't worth it anyway.

Bring some of them eggs over here.
I'm hungry.

Okay.

Are you just sure you're Spanish?

You don't look Spanish.

-Josh?
-Yeah, Charley?

I ain't never gonna be a slave again
for no man.

There ain't never gonna
be any end for us, Charley.

There never gonna to be an end to Black
man's troubles. You know that, Charley.

I ain't taking no shit
from no white man again.

Toby...

I'm a free man.
That's the way I'm gonna die.

All we talk about is dying.

I ain't about to get my
Black butt all shot to hell.

Jesus, let's talk about living.

Well, I guess you fellas know you
scared the hell out of the whole town.

We were just thirsty.

Which one of you is Charley?

How'd you know my name?

There's not a man, woman,
or kid in the whole territory

that hadn't heard about you by now.

And your friends.

You mean, we're famous?

Listen, do you know
who that man is that's tracking you?

Well, he's a professional killer.

And you know what that means,
don't you?

We ain't looking for trouble.

Well, that's why I'm trying
to tell you for your own good

that you shouldn't stay in this town.

I know your problems, but I don't
want innocent folk killed in my town.

Now, just what innocent
folk you talking about?

Listen, Charley, you
save your anger for Fowler.

You're gonna need it on him.
Not with me.

Mr. Sheriff...

you tell that man out there

just because we're Black don't
mean we have to run. You hear?

I can't let you
shoot up my town, Fowler.

-Yes?
-Get out of my way.

Getting that nigger.

I come a long way and ain't
nothing gonna stop me now.

That's just for luck.

Gentlemen, to your health.

Wouldn't believe it to look at me,

but I fought in just about
10, 15 Indian wars.

I don't believe you.

I said you wouldn't believe me.

What are you, old man?

Half breed.

-Half what?
-A half breed.

What's that?

My mother was
Sioux Indian and my daddy,

bless his soul, was white.

Well, what's your name?

The name's Shadow.

Shadow?

I've fought just about
10, 11 shootouts.

Not the kind they write about
in the magazines back East,

but the real thing.
Real thing.

And I've been married to four squaws.

-Squaws?
-What the devil is a squaw?

A squaw is an Indian woman.

What's the matter with you, boy?
Don't know nothing?

I was married to four.

Lazy, every damn one of them.

Except the Comanche.

She was a dilly.

Could she pull the hide off of a dog
and cook him tasty!

You mean folks out here eat dog?
Little dog?

Only the way that Comanche cook it.

Most of the the time it's tough.

But she take it and simmer
it and soften it up. Tasty.

Mighty tasty.

Well, like I was saying,

I fought against the Spanish
on the border

for two and a half years.

That's where I lost
my right leg, part of it.

Right there in the Rio Grande.

The what?

It's a river, boy.

What's the matter with you?
You don't hear too good?

Bet it's still floating
around down there somewhere.

And I know'd every mean gunfighter
from Kansas to God knows where.

They know Shadow too.

But I'll be a suck head mule.

In all my days,

I ain't never seen no three
black nigger gunfighters

all in one time.

Ain't many niggers walking
around shooting up people.

Know what I'm saying, boy?

What are you saying?

I'm saying if there was I'd know'd it.

I heard it.

And that's why I popped in here.

Because if it's so,
I had to see that with my own two eyes.

Josh. Toby.

-By God...
-Sheriff's back.

Now, I seen...

...just about all there is to see.

By God, just about.

Get out of here, old man.

Fellas, a few minutes
behind me and coming fast.

You've gotta leave now.

I can't stop him.

-Joshua?
-Yeah, Charley?

You wanna run?

No.

How about you, Toby?

Somebody ought to stay here
and take care of you, Charley.

They're here, Mr. Rhinehart.

You're sure?

Fowler, I...

Move, Toby! Move!

Are you in there, nigger?

Nigger Charley, I'm gonna kill you!

Do you hear me?

I'm gonna kill you, you nigger coward!

Look out, Josh!

You stupid nigger.

Bastard.

Excuse me?

Me and my wife, this here's
my wife, Sarah.

We was wondering if, you
was looking for some work.

What kind of work you
talking about, mister?

My name is Dewey Lyons.

Don't let me interrupt you, now.

You just go ahead and do what
it was you was, you was doing.

Ä°t's just that, well,

I got a farm not too far from here
and I'd like you to work for me.

Your friends too, of course.

I ain't got much money,

but, I can give you some food
and place to sleep and all.

Don't know how to do farm work, mister.

No, no.
I don't want you to do that.

I want you to protect, me and my wife.

See, I just seen what you

done to those men over
there in the saloon.

And, well, nobody else
around here is gonna help us.

Especially now that
the sheriff is dead.

You see, Sarah here is half Cherokee

and folks around here they
ain't going lift a damn finger

as long as they know I got
a half breed hanging around.

What kind of trouble are you folks in?

The Reverend Jarvis Kissler.

You got trouble from a preacher?

No. He ain't no real preacher.
He just dresses up like one.

And he, comes around my place with
his men every couple of weeks or so

and they steal from me.

I mean, they come right in the house
and they, take my food and money.

And, well, I'm mighty
fearful for Sarah here.

I mean, they get crazier and crazier.

I'm sorry about
your troubles, Mr. Lyons.

Well, I got some money now.
I ain't got much, but, I got me some.

Well, I ain't a real gunfighter
and neither are my friends.

Listen, they already killed my brother.

I'm real sorry, but we ain't
got time to help you folks.

We understand.
You have your own problems.

Thank you anyhow.

Hey, wait!
I'm coming with you.

Been waiting
for you since noon.

I know'd you'd come this way.

How'd you know, old man?

Ain't no witch doctor.
It's the water.

Water?

It's the only good watering.

I bet you followed us
all the way from this town.

No, sir. I tell you, this
here is the only good water.

What's that you eating?

Just hardtack and a little old beans.

You're welcome.

All you boys is welcome.

Thank you, man, because I'm
mighty hungry. Mighty hungry.

I'll try anything once.

-Fine with me.
-Yeah, heh.

Hey, what you got in that pipe?
Dog?

This old fool's smoking dead dog.

I bet it's a mixture of
rope or wack or rope and wack.

-You smell that.
-Wack.

This a mixture I got from the Sioux.

You take a moss and little
leaves and scrunch it up...

How long you been living
with the Sioux?

-Too long. Much too long.
-Yeah, I believe that.

Hey, Shadow?
Were you really married four times?

As far as I can recollect.

Now, the first one was big Fawn.
She was Comanche.

I won her in a game of Blackjack.

No, no.
I sold her to get me a grubstake.

Then there was Dog Child.
She was Apache.

The Apache women are generally smaller
than to a man's liking.

They teach you
how to live in the rain?

But the, but the prettiest
one of all was Little Leaf.

-Little Leaf?
-She was Blackfoot.

The Blackfoot women,
wait a minute.

You mean, they got Indians
out here that's colored?

Boy, is you dumb.
You must be talking like that.

-Shut your mouth.
-But I tell you,

the Blackfeet are the
prettiest of the species

of all the Indians.

And they birth young'uns don't
hardly look like no Indians at all.

And the fourth one, that was
Blue Bird, she was Sioux.

The Sioux is the laziest women

that the Lord ever blew
the breath of life into.

Ha, ha, kind of like Toby here.

I paid two ponies, a hunting knife,
four quarts of whiskey for her

and she ain't worth a bit of it.

Hey, where you born, Shadow?

Yeah. You from out here somewhere?

I don't know.
Hell, no, I ain't from out here.

You you say you were part Indian.
They're from out here, ain't they?

Well, that's what I said.
That don't have to be true, does it?

-Now, where you born, you old liar?
-Yeah.

-I don't know.
-Everybody know where they born.

-That so, Charley?
-Yeah.

Where were you born, Charley?

-Well, hell, I was born in Virginia.
-Who told you?

-Who told you, Charley?
-Theo told, that's who told me. Theo.

Heh, then you don't really know.
Do you, Charley?

For all you know you
could have been born

hundreds, thousands of miles away from
here in some other part of the world.

Shadow, where are you from?

All I know

is one day I was standing in a field

knee high to a cotton ball.

Cotton ball?

And some big folks come by and grab me

and then them big folks they
sold me to a band of crows.

Knee high to a cotton ball?

Hey, you mean to tell me

all your life you been telling folks
that you was Indian part

and all the time you was all Black?

Now, that's funny!
Ha, ha, that's real funny.

I ain't laughing.
And you wouldn't either.

You mean
that you a nigger like the rest of us?

A full-blooded member
of the nigger tribe.

-Charley?
-Yeah?

What you doing?

Just looking.

What you looking at?

I was kind of looking at that.

Sometimes you forget
how pretty that is.

It's really beautiful.

Makes me feel kind of warm.
Know what I mean?

Makes me wanna smile.

Toby, have you ever been
troubled by something,

but you can't put your finger on it?

Yeah.

A lot the last couple of days.

You mind if I speak my mind up?

It'd get kind of lonely around here
if you ever decided to shut up.

Well, I know you and I know when you
got something going on in your head.

And right now I say it's that
pretty half breed, Lyon's wife.

What's her name?

What the hell make you say that?

What the hell make me say that?
Because I know you.

Toby, I ain't never had it in my mind
to set no white woman.

You're thinking she's Indian, right?

Aw, what you talking about?

You going sit there and
tell me you're going back

and get killed
over a piece of white ass.

I ain't never said
nothing about going back.

You don't have to. I know you.

Toby,

them folks kind of like us.

They got troubles just because
the color of her skin is different.

Don't go telling yourself no lies.

You keep telling stories like that,
you ain't never going to heaven.

People hate us because we different.
That's all.

Just because our skin is black.

This just come to you?

-Well, she just like us.
-No, she ain't.

Why she ain't?

Because she half white
and she's all married.

You know something?
You talk too much.

Joshua, that man's going
back to the Lyons' place.

Where are you going, Charley?

Shadow?

Which way to Dewey Lyons's place?

Which way to Dewey Lyons's place?

What's the matter, old man?
You hard of hearing all of a sudden?

You heard what I said.

Charley, we can't go back there.

I didn't ask you to go.
I didn't ask anybody to go.

Now, which way is it, Shadow?

It's about 20 miles from here.

I didn't ask how far.
I asked where.

Due south till you hit twin trees.

Why are you doing this, Charley?

Because he got hot pants.
That's why.

He going get us all killed
because he got a fire between his legs.

Jesus, we going all die.

I didn't ask you to come with me.

Joshua, did you hear me
ask you to come with me?

I got nowhere else to go, Charley.

Charley, if you could hold your
Black self together long enough,

we'll go along and take
care of you. Somebody has to.

I seen some dumb niggers
but you take the prize.

Man, you sure do.

No. I take that back.

I is the dumbest nigger
for listening to him.

Gee, Mr. Lyons,
you got yourself a real nice place.

Thank you.

If it ain't raining tomorrow morning,
we could get up, take a look at it.

Got some long rolling hills.

Wear your gun to the table
every time you eat, boy?

I just like to keep it with me.

Don't you ever
eat with your hat off?

Tell me. How old are you, really?

17.

17.

16

16. That's more like it.

I haven't had a home cooked meal
in my stomach

for as long as I can remember.

Well, tell me about this Reverend.

He's crazy.

He's always reading from his Bible.

-He was a barber.
-A barber?

That's right.
Can't make no money being no barber.

How long you been here, Mr. Lyons?

Few years.

Me and my brother Will,
we come out here together.

I thought you said
your brother was dead.

He is.

They killed him.

The two of us, we built this
whole place together.

I knew your brother Will.

One day the Reverend
and his men come by

while me and Sarah was out.

They had Will tied to that chair
right there where you're sitting.

Had his hand laid flat on the table.

Reverend was standing over him

mouthing verses from the
Bible all crazy mixed up like.

He'd never even opened
the Good Book, I bet.

Jack Milburn took his knife out.

He cut off Will's middle finger.

And every time Will said no,

he cut off another one of this fingers.

-Said no to what?
-Money! Money!

Shadow, let him tell it.

Shadow's right.

Finally they...

they took Will outside,

and they hung him.

They hung him right in front of us.

There wasn't a thing I could do.

He told me the same thing
would happen to me and Sarah

if we didn't do like they said.

Now I give them whatever they want.

Why don't you just pick up and leave?

Leave?

This is our home.

Where's Mr. Lyons?

The Reverend's coming tomorrow.

Miss Lyons, where'd
you get that big black buck?

You keeping him around while
old Dewey's a breaking his back?

Dewey ain't gonna like no nigger
ordering his wife around.

What's your name, boy?

My name's Swede.

I ain't your boy, nigger.

Well, then, Swede,

you tell the Reverend
he can't come here no more.

That's all.

Now, you tell this Reverend
or whatever his name is,

that if he sets one foot
on this property,

Nigger Charley will kill him!

Now, you tell him that, boy!

You hear?

Now, you get!

Hold on!

You take this white trash with you.

They're coming, Charley,
they're coming!

Hallelujah!

Where's this Nigger Charley?

Let him come forth and show hisself.

Let him who's killed two good men
step forth and meet his fate.

So it is you, brother?

You are the great black killer
that the devil has sent.

If it weren't for my divine justice,
you would already be hung

by the hands of the
brothers of the two men you killed.

Sweet Jennings was a good man.

One of my very best.

Let's kneel and pray.

Thou has given me the
shield of thy salvation.

And thy right hand hath holded...

This here black devil has surrounded
himself with some black angels.

I told that one to
tell you not come back here.

You're through robbing these folks.

Through robbing these folks?

I don't rob them.
I take their offerings.

And I pray for them.

And they couldn't exist
without my prayers.

Listen, brother.
It says here right here in this book.

And I quote the chapter,

the verse and the Psalms 14 to 23,
John to Matthew,

"The strong shall inherit the earth."

Old man, you are crazy!

Whoo! Crazy!

It is not I that's crazy.
It is you. You're crazy.

The blackness
has seeped into your heart.

When the devil was banished from hell,

my brother, he was pure white.

He was as white,
white as the gentle snow.

Then God dropped him into hell.

The devil turned Black!

Damndest prayer meeting I ever been to.

We sure showed them.
They riding like hell.

Watch your language, boy.

He's very beautiful.

What's his name?

I ain't named him yet.

Why?

Ain't had time, I guess.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah. What?

Why did you come back?

I ain't sure I done the
right thing in coming here.

Yeah, maybe because I figured
you folks really needed help.

Don't be sad.
It's because of you.

I don't know.

Dewey's been very good to me.

You call letting folks ride over
you without doing nothing about it,

"being good"?

He's a farmer.
That's all he knows.

Then why hasn't he
gotten you out of here?

To where?

He could get help right here
if he wasn't married to a half breed.

Sarah!

Take the knife.

My fight ain't with you.

I leave him alone for just one minute.
Look what happened.

It's my arm, not my head.

Okay. Okay. It's your arm.

Now, ask your head what's
gonna happen tomorrow.

Well, they'll be back.

You be sure of that.

Hey, you know that devil is Black.

Brother Lyons!

Brother Lyons,

now you know the Lord

sent me out to win over
the devil and his evil.

Now, Brother Lyons, you get
that Black nigger out here!

By the lost tribes of
Israel, nigger, come out!

The lost tribes of Israel were Black!

Which way we go now, Charley?

Well, don't make no difference
where we go, Toby.

There's trouble for us everywhere.

Let's try thataway.

All right.
