How's it going?

What's wrong?

Want to take a look?

That's real good.

Stick with it.

It'll come.

If you can stare at them all day, those cards ain't gonna change.

Can't fault a man for trying.

Should have known I'd find you here.

Emily, honey, you're early. I was just fixing to leave. This time you were

really gonna quit. You swore on Mama's grave, remember?

And I really thought you'd changed.

What a fool I am.

Emily?

Emily, honey?

What do you got?

Three tens.

Hmm.

Too bad.

Three eights.

Thanks for the game, gents.

Where do I come from?

Cards are dealt from the deck in play.

What are you trying to say?

Well, it ain't me exactly. It's this Navy colt I got under the table, aimed

right between your breakfast and dinner.

And it would be powerfully obliged if you'd keep both hands on the table where

I can see them.

It allowed me a moment of your time.

If you're agreeable, of course.

You're crazy.

Maybe.

Twins.

Now, given the unseemly manner in which you earned this money, I'm sure you

won't mind returning it to its rightful owners and walking on out of here nice

and peaceful like while you still can.

You're making a big mistake.

I've made bigger.

I'm sorry, Sugar, but the man was cheating.

What was I supposed to do, just sit there and let him get away with it?

You didn't have to sit there at all.

Now, why didn't I think of that?

I can't believe it. It's starting all over again.

Sugar, don't talk like that. This time it's going to be different.

Throw down that gun.

Here.

Take it and leave us alone.

Now get down off of that wagon.

Let's have us a closer look at you.

I'll take that money back.

Now get out of here.

You all right?

Much obliged to you. Lord knows what might have happened if you hadn't come

along when you did.

I swear, if I ever catch you in another card game, I'll kill you myself.

How was I supposed to know he'd be a bad loser?

Name's Metcalf.

That's my daughter, Emily.

Yeah!

Where are you going? Home!

Emily, wait!

She'll be back.

It ain't much, but it's home.

Thanks again for your help, if you have a like.

Breakfast is ready.

You know, I think it's real nice, Rachel taking Jesse to get his teeth fixed in

St. Joe.

But I don't know if I can survive another week of Hickok's cooking.

Are we having porridge again?

Yep. Lou, has your horse eaten yet?

Enough, Cody.

Boys, we got company.

I'll say we do.

I'm Emily Metcalf.

My father and I just bought the hatchet place.

Oh, nice to meet you, Emily.

My name is William F. Cody.

Ike, I was kind of upset before.

I didn't get a chance to thank you personally for what you did.

What'd you do, Ike?

I don't know, but whatever it was, I wish I did it.

Well, if you'll excuse me, the man at the feed store is loading our wagon.

It's nice meeting you.

Don't just stay in the rack.

Mm-hmm.

Yes?

I don't understand. I'm sorry.

We bought the place last week.

It cost us about every penny we had.

Yeah, I know. It does me work.

That's okay. I don't mind getting my hands dirty.

What's this?

Who's she?

Yeah?

I see.

It's pretty good.

Except I'm right-handed, and, uh...

I don't think my nose is quite that big, do you?

I gotta go.

Dance?

Well, I'm not much of a dancer, but... Sure, I'll go.

I'm serious, Ike.

You can't just rush things like this. I mean, what do you really know about

Emily anyway?

You're taking her to the dance, right?

So why can't you just wait till then to see her again?

I'm not saying you can't take care of yourself. It's just you haven't had the

best luck with women.

What I mean to say, Ike, is you... You

handled that well, Buck.

Hack, what are you doing here?

My father?

Well, he rode over to Cottonwood to buy mule.

Thanks for your help today.

I never met anyone like you before.

Don't worry, I'm all right.

What, the fire?

It's my fault.

I left a lantern out. I should have been more careful.

It's been a long night, Ike, and I'm tired.

Go away, Ike, please.

I told you to go away!

You don't give up easy, do you?

Oh, see.

What difference does it make?

I'm sure the Marshal's a good man, Hack.

But there's nothing he can do. There's nothing anybody can do.

A few years back in San Francisco, some high rollers were running a crooked

table. Daddy called them on it.

Guns were drawn, a state senator died.

They called it murder.

With the witnesses they had, he didn't stand a chance, so we ran.

He's not a bad man, and Lord knows he's tried to change. It's just, besides

talking, playing cards is all he knows how to do.

But no matter where we go, sooner or later there's trouble, and we leave.

Why don't I leave?

I can't. He needs me.

Me?

I don't need anybody.

Don't believe in it.

Come on, Ike.

You know how it goes.

You need people, you end up getting hurt.

What?

You and me?

Whoa. Hold on there.

I mean, we're friends, aren't we?

Isn't that enough?

Ike.

I'm sorry.

Now, wait a minute.

I know you.

You're the one that jumped me.

Have a drink.

Hold it!

Son, I did not tell you, but five minutes ago, this ain't no way to go

about it.

There was some trouble out in Metcalfe Place last night. I don't suppose you

know anything about that, do you?

You here to arrest me, Marshal?

Ike, you sure she didn't see who it was?

Marshal, that man is a menace. A dummy like him, you ought to lock him up. What

do you know?

A dummy and a half-breed.

I tell you, Marshal, I don't know about this town of yours.

So many undesirables.

Just stay away from the Metcalfes.

Let's go, boys, before I forget I'm wearing dispatch.

Emily!

Emily!

Are you all right? Where's the mule?

Never mind that.

Are you all right? Don't!

I'm fine. I just had a little company last night.

Neville? Who else?

I knew I should have been here.

I'm sorry, honey.

Yeah.

Did you get him?

Then he'll be back.

The law know?

Just Ike.

Ike. Honey, how many times have I told you? It's just you and me.

We can't trust strangers.

Can't trust strangers?

I can't trust you.

The money you could buy the mule with, you lost it, didn't you?

Anyway, Ike's not a stranger.

I like him.

Lord knows, if we'd done it before, we can do it again.

I'm not leaving.

You have to. We ain't got no choice.

Why?

Ike won't give your secret away.

And far as Neville goes, we've dealt with worse.

Besides, I'm tired of running.

Tired of living my whole life paying for your mistakes.

Tired of having a child for a father.

Ike, I'm getting tired sitting here.

Ike, how long is this gonna take?

That smile is so long, I don't think I can stop.

That's okay, kid. I'm sure the girls will love it.

Ike, you sure you don't want to come along now?

Yeah, just because Emily ain't coming don't mean you can't have a good time.

Is that it?

Finally. Let's see.

Thanks for that.

I'll see you later.

You sure you're gonna be all right?

Okay, I'll see you later.

Come on in.

Have a seat.

Emmy, you got company.

Seems as though you've made quite an impression on the little girl.

What are you doing here, Ack?

Dance?

You mean you still... Give me ten minutes.

Thanks. Mike's a lucky guy.

He's nice, isn't he?

Come on, you don't want to be late.

Who's that pretty gal in the blue dress?

Never seen her before.

Well, she's just passing through.

Leaving tomorrow morning?

good lion snake.

That was nice, huh?

What?

Ike!

Emily!

Ike!

You better come with me.

What is it?

No!

Daddy! Daddy, I'm here!

It's me, Emmy.

You're gonna be all right.

Come on, show him.

Sorry, miss.

No.

No, you don't know him.

Come on, I know you're bluffing.

Get up.

Damn you, get up!

Get up!

No, I'll get you for this!

I'll get you for this! Act.

Lock. Take her to my office. I'll send the doc over later.

Anybody see what happened?

Marshal, he called me out. I ain't talking to you.

Anybody else?

I was defending myself.

I got that right, don't I, Marshal? Shut up!

He telling the truth.

That one there, he draw it first.

His gun don't jam.

He be the one you're talking to.

I don't mean to dispute you, sir, but, uh, you sure about that?

Wished I weren't.

What are you gonna do, Teespoon?

Nothing I can do.

Man has a right to defend himself.

I don't believe this.

Neville holds up a man, burns down his barn, and kills him. And there's nothing

you can do. Nope.

Buck, I've lived a lot longer than you.

Spent time on both sides of the law, and if there's one thing I've learned, if

you cross that line, don't matter if you get caught or not, you're gonna pay for

it. It may take a while, and Lord knows it don't always seem fair, but it

will happen.

Thanks for bringing me home.

You hungry?

I'm making eggs.

He always liked a big breakfast.

Didn't matter the time.

You want some?

Now, where's the pepper?

Everywhere we go, I always put things in the same place. That's how I know it's

home.

Now, where is he?

He's messed up so many times.

But I always forgive him.

I don't always want to, but... He'll give me that hang-dog look.

And... He's just got this thing about him, you know?

Like there's nothing he can't get out of.

What am I gonna do?

I don't know.

Give him a proper burial, then...

I've never been on my own before.

That's sweet, Ike.

But I can't.

Not yet.

You understand, don't you?

Go home, Ike.

And thanks for everything.

Thought I'd find you here.

What's that?

I think that's really good.

Can I keep it?

No, I don't know. I think it is. I think it is done.

There's something about it. It's kind of like you.

So how is she?

She won't talk to you. Why not?

Doc, I'm sorry.

About what I said earlier, about Emily.

It wasn't my place.

Thanks.

You can picture.

Who is it?

What cross?

Ex-friend?

It's open.

It's a nice place.

I asked you to come, didn't he?

He doesn't know I'm here.

Why are you here?

He said you didn't want to see him.

He cares about you an awful lot and... And you don't want to see him hurt?

You think I do?

Look, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have come here.

Wait.

I care about Ike a lot.

It's just any time to myself. I thought he understood that.

I think maybe he did.

Well, uh, as long as you're here, could you give me a hand with these laces?

I'm all thumbs.

There's so much about Ike I don't know.

Like what?

Well, how'd you get to know him?

I mean, you're not the most likely of friends.

I guess not, huh?

There. Thanks.

I had just left the Kiowa.

I was going to a mission school.

I didn't much fit in there.

That's where I first met Ike.

I didn't get to know him, though.

Not really. No one did.

Kids were all afraid of him.

Of Ike?

Yeah, they thought if he touched you, your hair and tongue would fall out.

Oh, really? Really?

Sometimes he would, uh, he would drool.

You know, he would make this weird face and sort of come at you all.

Anyway, one day I was in town, and these drunks got on me about the half-breed

stuff.

And I tried to fight, but there must have been six or seven.

Next thing I know, there was Ike slugging away right beside me.

What happened?

He beat the hell out of us.

But from that day on, we've been like brothers.

Thanks, Buck.

Thou preparest a table for me in the presence of mine enemies.

My cup runneth over.

Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall

dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Amen.

Amen.

Bye, Daddy.

It was a lucky deck.

No one could ever prove they were marked.

I'm sorry, Emily.

I know.

Well, if you gentlemen will excuse me.

There's this mule in Cottonwood that he was set on buying.

I was thinking this might be the perfect time for me to go get him.

But you're leaving now?

The sooner I wrap up unfinished business, the sooner I can get on with

my life.

And that's something I'm looking forward to.

See you soon.

Looks real nice.

See?

How's the funeral?

Fine for a funeral.

Saw Emily in town a few minutes ago.

She was headed towards the saloon.

Said hello to her. She acted like she didn't even hear me.

Thought you knew how to use that thing.

Ike! God, no!

Ike!

Ike!

Ike?

I'll get the doc.

Hold on, Ike.

Any change?

Doc says he lost a lot of blood.

Merciful God.

What about Neville?

I got lucky. The bullet went clean through him.

How long are you gonna keep him locked up?

Till I know one of you ain't going after him.

When's he gonna stop, Teaspoon?

Right now.

Should be more in the car. Couple days before Neville can ride, then he's gone.

Till then, I don't want you going anywhere near him.

You understand?

God, what have I done?

I'm so sorry.

Well? I don't know.

Can we see him?

For a few minutes. One at a time.

Hey. How you doing?

Doug says you'll be out of here in a couple days.

Hell, that got some worse than that.

Remember the time Katie picked up a stone and tossed a kid on his head?

He thought he was gone for sure.

Remember?

But three days later, he was riding again.

He didn't know who he was, but that didn't stop him.

Me too, buddy.

He wants to see you.

Buck. She's been in there an awful long time, Teaspoon.

Yeah, I know.

Wait here.

They don't know, Ock.

If anyone can pull through, he can.

Blue. Ours.

Let's see.

Thanks, Doc. You do nice work.

How long till he's ready to ride?

Another day or two.

Neville, get out of here.

Just like that?

If you stay here, I can't be responsible for your well-being.

And if I was you, I'd lay low till I was ready to ride.

You ain't me, Marshal.

about my gun.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I ain't up to a fight.

And you ain't got it in you to kill a man in cold blood.

So why don't you just do us both a favor and just step aside?

Half-breed.

You just can't pull that trigger, can you?

You're just like that dummy friend of yours.

Ain't got the nerve.

Did he draw on you, son?

Anybody see what happened?

What about you?

Didn't see nothing.

Must have blinked.

I said about crossing that line.

Well, that's what you've done.

Now you're gonna have to live with it.
