Charlotte? Charlotte?

It's all right.

I ate one of those. Why don't you just put that away?

There, easy, girl.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you up to?

Who, me?

Come on, what do you got there?

Nothing.

It looks like something to me.

Here.

It's a present.

For me?

No, it's for Katie.

Open it.

You like it?

Yeah, but... Try it on.

Now? Sure, it'll look real nice on you. Gotta make sure it fits.

Time can set. I could take it back if you don't.

Well, excuse us.

Didn't know you was busy, kid.

This ain't what it looks like.

Don't look like nothing to me. Look like something to you, Cody.

No, don't look like nothing to me. Please.

There's someone here to see you.

Hello, Louise.

Charlotte.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry to arrive unannounced like this, but I just got in town and I

couldn't wait to see you.

Louise and I go back a long ways.

Charlotte, why don't you and I go for a little walk?

what are you doing here charlotte well remember that dress shop we always used

to talk about yeah sort of i mean that was long time ago not to me

i saved up some money and from what i've seen i'd say rock creek could sure use a

place like charlotte and louise's fashion emporium don't you what or

louise and charlotte's if you like i'm not particular

Those fine ladies, and they look down their nose at me again.

It's so good to see you.

You used to have such beautiful long hair.

What happened to it?

Cut it off a long time ago.

The company barred me if they knew I was a girl.

That's terrible.

Not so bad.

What about Wex?

What about him?

He let you go?

Didn't have a choice.

Had his henchman beat up on the wrong man.

Me and the girls gave him a beautiful funeral.

It was the best party St. Joe's seen in years.

Well, you must be tired.

Yeah, I suppose I could do some freshening up.

I was wondering if... Don't worry.

The hotel's real nice.

I'll take your bag.

Hello, Lou.

Otis, got any rooms?

Uh, depends.

What size bed do you need?

A single old douche is fine. It's for the lady.

Oh, uh, I think we've got something.

Will you be staying long?

I certainly hope so.

All right.

Room 12, sign here.

Third door on the left. Thank you very much.

Excuse me, young man, but you look exhausted. Why don't you let me take

that? I can handle it.

No, really, please.

Travis McKay at your service.

Seems like we're gonna be neighbors.

Charlotte Rowan.

And this is... Luna Cloud.

I'm her cousin.

I'm very honored to make your acquaintance.

I'd better get back.

You all right? You hardly ate a thing at supper.

Yeah, and hungry is all.

You're gonna waste away to nothing.

Nothing but skin and bones.

Stop it. Of course, it's nice skin and bones. I said stop it!

What's wrong?

Ain't in the mood to be tickled, that's all.

Well, you were this morning. Until that lady got here. Who is she, anyway?

Kid, please.

Well, I gotta get going now.

I see some people are gonna be wondering about me.

I bandaged up those wounds for you.

You get some rest, and you'll be up to traveling in no time.

I also left you some food and plenty of water.

So... I'd best be going.

You're gonna be just fine.

You gotta figure some of your people will be around this way soon.

What did she look like?

Let's see.

She had brown hair, green eyes, pretty dress, real head turner.

Carried an old beat-up carpet bag.

Where'd you take her?

She gave me one of them, too.

Told me to forget I'd ever seen her.

Well, maybe this one will help you remember.

I left her off in Rock Creek.

Hell of a town, Mr. Wicks.

Mr. McCloud, Travis McKay from the hotel. The death clerk told me that you

work here.

What can I do for you, Mr. McKay?

I'm terribly sorry to disturb you. It's a place of employment, but...

There's a personal matter of some delicacy I wish to discuss with you. It

concerns your cousin, Miss Rowan.

What about her?

Don't suppose I need to tell you what a fine woman she is.

Since you seem to be her closest relative, I thought, well, it only

proper that I announce my intentions.

Intentions? I wish to court her, Mr. McCloud, if you don't have any

objections.

Well, I wouldn't, but I think she'll be leaving town soon.

Well, then perhaps I could take you both to supper before she goes.

Well, uh... I guess that would be all right.

Thanks.

I want you to know I deeply appreciate this.

Good. You're awake.

You hungry?

Matt, wait.

Take it easy there before you start bleeding again.

A hell of a time stopping it last time.

I'm not your enemy.

Yeah.

You wouldn't happen to speak English, would you?

I'm Hickok.

My name is Hickok.

Well, uh,

I better just call you Bill.

I got an uncle named Bill. He's wondering if he's a polecat.

He kind of reminds me of him.

So where you from?

Your home, you know.

Where's your home?

Where's your home?

Across the river?

Up in the high country?

Lou, who is Charlotte?

Someone I used to know.

She's a prostitute, isn't she?

How'd you know?

I've been around longer and you've seen different things.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I would.

You ashamed of having her for a friend?

Of course not.

Just...

I know how something like that can happen to a woman, and it ain't always

her fault.

Yeah, most folks don't see it that way.

Well, that's their problem, isn't it?

Well, to tell you the truth, I don't take much with it myself, but it ain't

easy for a woman on her own out here.

As long as she respects herself, doesn't harm anyone, that's all that matters,

not what other people think.

Thank you, Mr. Branch. Well,

partner,

what do you think?

I know it doesn't look like much now, but with a little work... What are you

talking about?

Our new store, silly.

I just told Mr. Branch we'd take it, and I've saved up enough money so rent won't

be a problem at all.

Charlotte, I never agreed to this.

Well, then, I guess I'll just have to go it alone.

Charlotte, you can't stay here.

Why not?

You just can't. That's all.

You know, there used to be a look that would come over people's faces when

they'd see me in the street.

After a while, I got used to it. It didn't bother me so much.

When I saw you come out of that barn yesterday, you had that same look on

your face.

It kind of took me by surprise. I never expected it from you.

I'm sorry, Charlotte. I just meant that... I know what you meant.

Now, you listen to me.

I want to forget the past as much as you do, probably more.

All I'm asking for is a chance to start fresh, to make a new life for myself, a

good life like you did.

Now, if you don't want to be my partner, that's fine. I'll do it myself.

All I'm asking for is a chance, Louise.

I think you owe me that much.

You're wrong.

I'm sorry.

Well, then we'll speak no more about it.

Now, come on. I want to show you my new dress.

Travis has invited us to dinner.

You're gonna be our chaperone.

You know, Travis is a fairly important man, being a banker and all.

Do you know what I like about him most?

He reminds me of a little boy.

You know what you mean.

Is that you, Miss Charlotte?

Oh, damn.

I must have died and gone to heaven.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe I know you. What are you talking about?

It's me, Charlie Frank.

Come on, you know me.

I used to be one of your best customers.

Until my wife found out.

Of course, she's not my wife anymore.

Let's get out of here, Charlotte.

You must have mistaken me for someone else. Now, if you'll excuse us. Oh, man,

don't forget the best loving you ever had.

I'll prove it to you, too.

Listen, mister.

If the lady says she's never seen you before, she's never seen you before,

understand?

Good.

Now get out of here and don't you bother her again.

Come on, Charlotte.

You all right there, Bill?

Hang in there Hope

you know who

to use this on

Oh, my God.

Miss Rowan, I hope I'm not bothering you. No, not at all.

You're the one they call the kid, right?

That's right.

Would you like to come in?

Thank you.

So, what can I do for you?

I don't know exactly how to say this.

Just spit it out. That's the best way I know.

Okay. It's about Lou.

Now, I don't mean to pry or anything, but ever since you got here, she hasn't

been herself.

I was wondering if you could... Tell you what it is about me that troubles you so

much?

Maybe you should ask her.

I did, but she doesn't want to talk about it.

Well, then I don't think I should either, do you?

I guess not.

What are you doing here, kid?

You wouldn't tell me what was wrong, so... Get out.

Lou, I didn't... I said get out!

Don't you think you're being a little hard on him?

It's my problem, not yours.

If you ask me, you're lucky.

Yeah? What for?

To have someone who cares so much.

Come on.

Travis is gonna be waiting for us.

I don't know about you, but I couldn't eat another bite.

Next time, you'll have to try some home cooking.

Oh, excuse me. I seem to have left my cigar case back inside.

Don't go away.

Feeling better?

He's a nice man.

You know, I didn't think it was possible, but I believe I'm falling in

love.

Charlotte, you hardly know me. I know he's considerate and shy, romantic, kind

of clumsy.

What's not to love?

I don't know. Don't you think you're brushing things a little?

Louise, I've dreamed about being with someone like him for a long time,

settling down, having a normal life like anyone else.

There's nothing wrong with that, is there? Sometimes these things are more

trouble than they're worth.

Care for a cigar, Lou?

Uh, no, thanks. I gotta get back to the station.

Thanks again for supper.

It is an uncommonly beautiful day, Miss Rowan.

Would a stroll through the streets of our fair city meet with your approval?

That would suit me just fine, Mr. McKay.

Charlotte, you gotta come with me right now.

What's wrong? Family business. No time to explain.

Really? What?

What are you doing?

Wicks isn't dead.

He's here.

I just saw him go into the saloon.

How did he find me?

I don't know, but I got a feeling you led him here.

Now, what's he want, and don't you lie to me.

I stole his money.

I only took what was coming to me. It's nothing compared to what he made of me

all those years.

You know what he's like, Louise.

I couldn't live like that anymore.

Now, I helped you, and you've got to help me now.

Please, I'll do whatever you say. I just... I can't go back there.

I'll get a couple of horses.

Wait here.

It'll just take a minute.

Well, I'm glad you've come to your senses.

We'll leave in the morning.

I'm not coming back.

Never come back.

I don't think that's your choice.

You stole some money from me, and I got a warrant for your arrest.

So, why don't you take me to it, and then we'll both go home.

What the hell?

Don't move, either of you.

he's crazy she's just crazy charlotte

oh my

god

i'm

telling you teaspoon if he didn't do it he drove her to it either way he killed

her he got to arrest him as soon as i find him i'll talk to him you got to

know there was another fella there She took his gun and shot herself. Said

she's acting crazy.

Said nobody made her do nothing.

Charlotte told me that he was after her. Said she had some money he thought was

his and that he'd do anything to get it back.

Who is this witch fella, anyway?

Someone she used to know.

You know him, too?

Louise, there's something you ain't telling me.

What is it?

Nothing that matters.

Why don't you let me be the judge of that?

Sorry, Teaspoon.

How the hell can I help you if you won't tell me what you know?

Because I can't, all right?

Women.

What?

Well,

if you don't like it, you try it.

All right,

you can sing.

Even if the words are funny.

She was beautiful, wasn't she?

Yeah.

That woman had more heart.

More spirit.

Do you know him, Lou?

I used to.

Excuse me.

Look, I know it's a terrible time, but Miss Rowan was a friend of the family. I

was just wondering if you know who that young fella is over there.

That's Charlotte's cousin, Lou.

Lou.

Rachel. I think I'll go change out of these clothes.

Lou.

Otis brought her things over from the hotel.

I'm sorry I went to see Charlotte. I had no call prying into your life like that.

Why'd you do it, kid?

What'd you think you'd found out?

I don't know.

Why her showing up upset you so much, I guess.

Wasn't her.

She was my friend.

Lou, I don't want to crowd you. I really don't.

I just care about you is all.

I know.

Can't help wanting to know more.

Kid?

Don't go I'm not going anywhere

You're all grown up, Louise.

Louise. Bad dreams?

What are you doing up?

Same as you, I guess.

Care to join me?

That man at the funeral.

Who is he?

His name's Wicks.

Come here.

It's all right. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

I don't know.

Maybe it's time I did.

After I left the orphanage, I...

I ended up in St. Joe, and it was a bad winter, and I needed a job, and...

Wick said he'd give me one.

He took me to a house, and there were a bunch of ladies living there.

Charlotte was the only one who was nice to me.

They gave me a job doing laundry, and... It was a while before I figured out what

kind of place it was.

What'd he do to you, Louise?

One night, about a... a year later, he came into my room.

It's all right. It wasn't your fault.

The morning after it happened, Charlotte snuck me out of there, and

she got me a ticket for the stage to St. Louis.

After I got there, I cut

off all my hair, started dressing like a boy.

Figured it was safer that way.

Probably was.

You know, I never thanked her.

I don't care who pulled the trigger.

Wicks killed her, Rachel.

Nobody can blame you for hating him.

I've always been too ashamed to tell anybody what he did to me.

No.

You told me, and that's a start.

Before I ran into you, I was planning on doing a little fishing.

When you heal up, maybe we can go.

Sound good to you?

Fishing trip is sounding better and better to me.

Fish... hen.

Yeah, fishing.

Come on, let's get you up.

Come on.

Excuse me.

I don't mean to bother you, but, uh...

I was a friend of Miss Rowan's.

I'm looking for a Lou McCloud.

He's out on a ride. He'll be back soon.

Oh, good.

Good. Thanks.

I'll be back.

You should have changed your name.

Drop the gun, Louise.

You know, I thought there was something familiar about you. But I gotta tell

you, that disguise does not become you.

What do you want?

Your friend Charlotte stole some money from me.

And I've come to retrieve it.

Go to hell.

Shouldn't Lou have been back by now?

It's a warm day. Probably didn't want to push her horse too hard.

Oh, before I forget, if you see her for her, do tell her this fellow came

looking for her.

Wait, what fellow?

Come on.

All right,

that's far enough.

You touch me, and I swear I'll kill you.

Really now.

If I don't, you're gonna have to kill me.

Either way, you won't get your damn money.

No, no, no, no.

You don't understand.

You're gonna get the money for me.

It's been a long time, Louise.

You were nothing but a frightened little girl back then.

Remember?

You're all grown up, Louise.

But you may be a grown woman now, but inside you're still a frightened.

This is for Charlotte.

Charlotte killed herself.

I had nothing to do with it. Like hell.

You're not gonna shoot me.

You don't have it in you.

No.

How's it feel having someone else in control?

Afraid?

I think you're real afraid.

You should be.

How's it feel, Wicks? You like it?

Answer me, do you like it?

No!

Get out of here, kid!

Why? So you can murder him?

Take care of him, kid.

You see, I got shot this one time.

And my friend Teaspoon, he mixed up this salve of horse liniment, gunpowder, and

mountain water. And he stopped the bleeding just like that.

We don't have any liniment, but this ought to work just fine.

Don't smell half as bad, neither.

You like Teaspoon.

He's in Rock Creek, where I'm going.

At least you'll be getting into where you're going soon, huh?

Yeah, you'll be around folks who can take care of you a lot better than me.

Well, all right.

Now, Bill, this here is gonna sting a little bit, but I'm sure that you...

Bill?

You may not have shot Miss Rowan, but you caused enough trouble to be my guest

for a while. Bring him in, kid.

Travis!

I only knew her a few days,

but I loved Charlotte.

Her laugh.

The way she'd look at me.

She made me feel special.

I'd never felt that way before.

I could have helped her get over her past.

Wicks didn't give us a chance.

She told you?

Not in so many words, but I knew.

I loved her for who she was.

Not where she came from.

I pray to God she knew that.

I think she did.

Kid!

Hey.

Mind if I join you?

Sure.

Ready to talk now?

You don't have to.

I want to.

Then I'm ready to listen.

Who are you?

A friend.

His friend.

He was my son.

I'm sorry.

You honor him by returning him to his people.

He saved my life.

What was his name?

Red Sky, in your words.

Red Sky.

My name's Hickok.

James Hickok.

Safe journey, James Hickok.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

What song is that?

The song of friendship.

In your words.

Friendship.
