Well, you know what you say to my friend, T-Stone, huh?

When you get yourself back there to Rock Creek. I'll do that.

He, uh, he ain't going on ahead and got himself married again, has he? He was

when I left, but, you know, it's been three days now.

All ready, Marshal. Oh, Missy.

Wow,

the hardware.

Oh, we just got a couple of prisoners down at Fort Kearney.

My deputy's just being a little extra careful.

I understand.

Well... Take care of yourself. Charlie, you too.

Almost full ramps right there.

Have I told you not to play with guns?

Sorry.

Let's see.

You hungry?

Cold air.

I'm so hungry I could eat a rattle.

With his head on.

Nice to see you, Nick.

Jesse treating his elders with respect.

Helping them pass their sunset years in happiness.

I'll tell you, Tony.

The boy.

has a heart of gold ha i won give me my 25 cents pocket full of gold is what

he's got thanks jesse

let me ask you you really think it's nice to take advantage of your elders

like that works for me pardon me monsieur

you are the gendarme

Uh, yeah, I could be, depending on, uh... I think she's looking at

your badge, Teaspoon.

My what?

Your badge.

Oh,

I'm the marshal, if that's what you mean.

And I certainly hope it is.

Uh, Teaspoon Hunter at your service.

I shall be.

This here's William F. Cody, and that there's Mr.

Jesse James.

How could we help you, Miss... Mary.

Mary. Well, it's a pleasure to be your acquaintance.

I thought perhaps you could recommend a pension.

A, uh, uh... Well... Cody should recommend it.

Only you.

A hotel.

A hotel?

Well, sure, the town's got a fine one.

Run you about a dollar a night.

If you like, I could, uh... One dollar?

Yes, ma'am.

Is there anything else?

Uh, the boarding house up the street.

Cost you four bits a night.

Beats?

Uh, 50 cents.

Jessie, you know perfectly well that place ain't reputable enough for a lady

like Miss Marie.

50 cents.

That will be fine.

Merci.

Hello.

You see the posse from Cottonwood?

Well, we sure are, sir.

What's left of it?

Well, what happened to the men you was tracking?

We damn near caught them.

I thought we had a couple of them trapped, but they put up a hell of a

fight.

They split up after that, and we lost them.

Any idea where they were headed?

If I had to guess, I'd say west, towards Rock Creek.

So that's it? You're just giving up?

I said we lost them, mister.

Besides, these men need doctoring.

So let me tell you, I already got one funeral to attend tomorrow.

I think that's enough, don't you?

I'm really sorry.

You mind telling me what you're doing?

Your job, since you're obviously incapable of doing it yourself.

Mister, I don't know what your problem is. You are my problem.

You and all the other petty anti-territorial marshals and sheriffs

and deputies who couldn't catch or hold the criminal if the man laid down in

front of you and died.

You are my problem.

Hold on there.

Who the hell are you?

The future.

Monsieur Trispun.

Oh, Miss Marie.

Something the matter?

I think I have been robbed.

Last night I heard the noises in my room, but when I looked around, I could

see no one.

This morning, all of my money was gone.

Well, here.

You just sit down for a minute.

I'll be right back.

No, please.

I don't want to be alone right now.

It was all my fault.

What would make you say a crazy thing like that?

You warned me of the building house.

But I did not have much money.

Isn't there somebody who could lend you a hand, help you out for a while?

I have a sister in Chicago.

Chicago? Well, I was thinking of somebody a little closer than that. I

mean, I don't mean to be forward, but I couldn't help noticing you was wearing a

wedding ring.

How about it?

My husband was killed three months ago.

Oh, that's a shame.

It's hard to hear that. On the trip to Chicago, our coach turned over.

He was thrown outside.

He died very quickly.

We were going to live near my sister.

I was going to teach piano.

But now... I'm sorry.

I came here to tell you of a robbery, not my life.

I have taken enough of your time.

Maybe I could lend you something.

You are very kind.

But I could never ask you for anything.

Do not worry, Monsieur Teaspoon.

I will be... okay.

Seeing that boy get shot like that.

Killed right there in front of me.

I'm telling you, it was the worst thing I ever saw.

You ain't blaming yourself, are you?

Not yet.

But I will.

If the man who done it don't get caught.

You know I posted a reward.

We're giving descriptions to the other stations.

They'll be keeping a lookout.

I just feel that there ought to be something else we can do.

Other than wait.

Jimmy! Don't feel like being taken to checkers, Jesse.

There's some people around the bank.

What kind of people?

I don't know. People look like they shouldn't be doing what they're doing.

Come on.

Go get taste buds. Go!

All right, hold it right there.

Don't do it!

Why don't you take a look at this?

Whatever it is you got there don't mean nothing to me.

Why don't you just tell me who you are?

The name's Blackcomb, and I'm a Pinkerton detective.

Pinkerton, son.

Yeah, I heard of you.

Thomas Blackholm, special operative.

These men are under my direct employ and supervision.

I heard guns by the looks of them.

You mind telling me exactly what you're doing here in Rock Creek?

That one, his name's Lynch.

Heads up the Seven Rivers gang.

Banks have been paying me to track him for two years.

Now I believe he's heading for Rock Creek.

No thanks to the Marshal Cuttingwood.

I happen to know he's a good man.

Tell that to Mother and Father, that dead boy.

So what are you going to do about it?

Knowing he's headed here, one can assume he's interested in your bank, a bank

that my men have determined is hard to defend.

Well, then we'll just have to keep our eyes open, won't we?

You can't do that forever.

These men are intelligent, Lynch in particular. They can't be caught by

waiting and watching.

So what do you think has to be done?

Devoting your life to seeing them hang, stopping at nothing, doing whatever it

takes.

Blackholm! I appreciate your help bringing these men in, but I want to

know what you're doing every step of the way.

Of course.

And I'm sure I can trust you to make sure that your methods and your men stay

within the bounds of the law.

I'll be keeping an eye out, just to make sure that's the case.

Good idea.

You might learn something.

Those kids are real Pinkertons.

Hey, you know something about them?

Well, there's been books written about them. They're supposed to be real smart

fellas. That's all.

I bet they ain't as smart in checkers.

Jesse.

Well, Alan Pinkerton's the man that started them all.

He's a real abolitionist. He even helped John Brown.

So what's this fellow Blackholm like, Hickok?

It doesn't really matter what he's like, just as long as he's looking to bring

them killers in.

Well, I don't doubt this fellow Blackholm's commitment, but something

tells me his methods may leave a lot to be desired.

He's a man looking for a dog to kick.

Maybe he didn't like what happened in Cottonwood.

Well, maybe not.

I'll tell you something.

A man who starts taking things that personal stops seeing straight.

A man who ain't seeing things straight shouldn't be carrying a badge or a gun.

Come on, come on.

I don't understand why you are attacking me.

I told you.

It's a surprise.

You just hold your horses.

All my horses?

Well, come on, come on.

a spare the saloon wasn't using supposed to work real good oh what a wonderful

surprise saloon says all right if you used it even

use this room to give lessons in of course eventually you'll want to get

yourself a real studio but you know in the meantime so i took the liberty of

paying you up at the hotel for a couple of weeks strictly a business proposition

You can pay me back as soon as you start giving lessons.

I want to thank you very much, but I cannot accept these things.

Why not?

I do not know you.

And even if I did, this is too much.

Well, the way I look at it, I'm doing us both a favor. You get to start teaching,

and I get to experience a little culture.

All right.

On one condition.

You will be my first student.

Me?

Well, I'm awful busy.

Maybe sometime, though.

I gotta admit, I always wanted to know something musical.

Well, come on, give her a try.

Mr. Blackcomb.

Ah, Mr. Hickok. I've been expecting you.

I want you to know that I don't appreciate the way you treated Teaspoon

last night. You should tell him anything you know.

It was for your benefit alone that I explained anything at all.

Teaspoon's a fine marshal.

He's doing everything he can to track down Lynch. I don't doubt that. The only

problem is, that's not enough.

Come on, I want to show you something.

Bravo!

Merci beaucoup.

Merci beaucoup.

Voulez-vous parler français, Monsieur Tispoon?

Would you like to speak French with me?

Siboku.

Handwriting samples.

Fragments of clothing and bandages.

Fibers collected from hideouts.

Pieces of that fabric have been collected at every location along the

trail of the gang.

The microscope confirms that they're all from the same source.

Find that source, and maybe it will lead to Lynch.

You saw that boy get killed, didn't you?

How'd you know that?

I saw it in your eyes when you were looking at the photograph.

We're conducting a little operation tomorrow that you might find

interesting. Join us if you'd like, but keep it to yourself.

After all, you never know who you can trust, do you?

I just asked her if she wants something more to eat.

Go ahead. Tell him what I said.

He asked if I would like a little more roses.

I think perhaps it is best I learn to speak English.

Jimmy, the past couple of days, you haven't been eating enough to keep a

bird alive.

I guess I just got too much on my mind to enjoy myself.

Jimmy?

Jimmy?

All right, spit it out.

It just don't seem right, everybody having such a good time.

It ain't everybody that's bothering you. It's me.

Son, I'm doing everything I can to find that killer. Yeah, well, maybe I can do

more.

Teaspoon?

Yeah?

I've been thinking.

Uh-oh.

On account of Miss Marie's bad luck, I thought I might help her out by giving

her my checkers winnings.

Well, that's real nice of you, but 50, 75 cents?

I've got $20.

$20?

Teaspoon?

I was just talking with the blacksmith. He said a fella got him out of bed last

night to shoe a horse.

So? The fella matches the description of the Seven Rivers gang.

Got a cabin just outside of town.

Who's in for their runs?

Why is it that you think the gang's gonna show up here?

One of our operatives just relayed a report from Cottonwood. An informant

there says Lynch and the others are on a rendezvous here later today.

Should trickle in one by one.

That's McRae.

Charlie McRae. Owns the place.

Looks like he's expecting trouble.

I guess teaspoon's smarter than you think.

Hold it right there.

How is he?

I don't look good.

I was doing my duty.

And I'm mine.

Teaspoon was doing what he thought best.

There's a shipment of gold coming into your bank tomorrow.

Lynch will know about it somehow. He always does.

And he'll want it.

I've changed the route to the east. The gang won't know how the money's getting

here. You'll have to wait till it's in the bank.

That goes against my better judgment, but I suppose I could deputize a rider,

send him out with you.

I've already got one.

Jimmy?

You wanna go?

Look, Teaspoon, what happened at that cabin shouldn't have, but it did.

With you down, it's the only hope we have.

Yeah, but something ain't right.

He knows something.

He ain't telling neither of us what it is.

I gotta go?

You're taking this too personal.

It's clouding your judgment.

Somebody's gotta get it done, Rat Teaspoon.

Uh, you know, Miss Marie, this ain't really necessary.

But you will look so nice with your face neat and clean.

Well, there'll be a change, that's for sure.

It's nice to have a reason to change.

You know, having you around these past few days, well, you... you've been like

a lone ray of light.

Some pretty dark times.

You have been the same for me.

I owe you so much.

The hotel, the piano, even my first student, Jesse James.

Well, that one took some arm twisting, let me tell you.

Now, tomorrow morning... No, no.

You must get your strength back.

You have taken good care of me since I came to Roar Creek.

Now, you must let me take care of you.

Your husband... He was a lucky man.

Ours was a marriage of convenience.

You ought to see yourself.

I

should

go.

But I will come back tomorrow.

As long as you are here.

Well, if you come back tomorrow, I ain't going anywhere.

Mr. Teaspoon, you were right.

It does feel very good to have a reason to change.

What the hell are you doing?

He's just a boy.

He's also Charlie McRae's cousin.

I think he knows where Lynch is.

Has he talked yet?

No, sir.

He will.

I ain't gonna let you do this. You could kill him.

Boys die, Mr. Hickok.

You've seen it.

And so have I.

Talk to me, or we'll see it again.

Talk to me!

Or I'm gonna make you pay for everything that happened from Cottonwood all the

way back to Pine Flats!

What happened at Pine Flats?

That's where it all began.

What's your name, son?

Lucas.

Lucas.

Well, I'll tell you, Lucas.

If you know anything, you better give it up.

Else, uh, something's gonna happen here that I ain't gonna be able to stop.

Where are they?

If I tell you, Lynch will kill me. No, he won't.

Why?

Because I'll find him first.

Said they were gonna meet up at a mine shack.

Other side of town.

There you go.

Get on home.

You see black home, you just gotta do what it takes.

Teaspoon.

Yeah, come on in.

Ranch outside of town had half a dozen horses stole this morning.

Foreman got shot up pretty bad, but he saw one of the ones who did it.

Anyone we know?

Lynch. Get Buck, Cody, any other riders you can find.

Head east. See if you can meet that shipment of gold headed toward town.

But I thought Blackholm said... Just do it.

Meantime, see if you can track down Hickok.

He's gonna be in for a surprise.

Boyle was killed in Cottonwood.

Today you were willing to risk another just to get back at Lynch.

That ain't right.

Two years ago, Lynch did something that rendered forever immaterial the concepts

of right and wrong.

Their horses are there. I think we got them.

Pass them out.

What are you doing?

Apprehending Lynch.

You're going to go down there?

You don't give them a chance to surrender. That's murder, plain and

simple. Then murder is just worth one take.

Horses are a trick.

Ain't no one in here.

What?

The

gold's

gone.

Someone must have tipped Lynch off.

Lynch outsmarted us.

How did he know?

Someone told him about the shipment change.

Boo!

Where you going?

Listen to me!

No, I'm through listening to you!

You know, Teaspoon was right.

Something made you stop seeing things straight a long time ago.

It's about time I started.

Going somewhere?

Oh.

You frightened me.

Sorry.

But I think, uh... I think this is gonna frighten you a little bit more.

You see, pieces keep showing up everywhere.

Well, everywhere this fellow Lynch goes.

It seems to me that you'd be able to afford a new show.

I do not understand.

This was my grandmother's.

Why don't you stop it?

It's over.

All right, Mr. Hickok.

What do you want?

I want Lynch.

Why don't you tell me where he is?

And just what do you think you can do?

Lady, I don't have time for your games anymore.

Neither do I.

Lynch said he'd kill Teaspoon if I told him the truth.

And being you care so much for Teaspoon, you couldn't bear to see that happen.

You wouldn't understand.

No, I wouldn't.

But I'll tell you what.

I'll try to, if you tell me where Lynch is.

Heard you was riding to try and find Lynch.

You want him to join us?

If you want me to.

I ain't been much on teamwork these past few days.

Well, that depends.

On what?

Whether you got any idea where he is.

I know exactly where he is. Well, then we better get going.

Now, Teaspoon, you know you ain't supposed to be riding.

Never stopped me before.

He's got a point.

You all right?

Well, I ain't exactly up to snuff, but I'll get over it.

Get over most anything, you give me the chance.

How'd you figure out where Lynch is?

All that time around Blackcomb, something must have rubbed off.

Yeah, that's what I told him.

Nice work.

I'll take him, Mr. Hickok.

Thank you for leaving me here.

This is for what you did to me.

Hold it right there.

Come on, Black Moon.

Let's just take him in.

No.

Damn it, you're a lawman!

You don't understand.

I have to kill him for what he did.

At Pine Flats.

He killed.

A Pinkerton.

On his first assignment.

A boy, really.

Blackham, that ain't no reason. He killed my son.

Men shall get what he deserves, I promise you.

But don't let the man that killed your boy destroy you, too.

It's too late.

Black home.

The Dailings killed my boy. He

killed me too.

No, I didn't.

I think you just proved that.

Going someplace?

Monsieur Teaspoon, I do not know how to tell you this.

I must return to Chicago.

Chicago?

How come?

My sister, she is sick.

Her husband, he tries to comfort her, but I am family.

Well, I hope it ain't serious. You, uh...

Think you'll be gone a long time?

I do not know.

I feel it could be a very long time.

Chicago.

It's a pretty long ride for a piano lesson.

You must not look sad.

Today you captured a bad gang.

You found the town's money. Yeah, well, uh...

so important.

This is not what I wanted.

You have done so much for me.

You done the same thing for me.

You made me feel some things I wasn't sure I could feel anymore.

Probably shouldn't have felt them in the first place.

I know there's your stage. You want some help?

Au revoir, Monsieur Tisburn.

I will never forget you.

Thank you for helping me change.

You're an exceptional fellow, Mr. Hickok.

The Pinkertons could use a man like you.

No, I don't think so.

I belong here.

The future holds many changes. Why not change with it?

I guess I just like the way things are.

Which ain't to say that I wouldn't work with one of your fellows you come back

this way, provided you let me in on what's going on.

On my honor.

All right.

Marshall and the rest of them are waiting down the road just a bit.

I appreciate you taking her with you.

Will do.

Well, thank you.

I'll make sure to put in a good word for you at your trial.

Thank you for letting me save Teaspoon a little bit of pain.

He's a real fine man.

That he is.

We'll get them prisoners on their way.

Yep, Blackcomb too.

You know, I think he's gonna be all right.

Well, that's good.

How about you?

With, uh, Miss Marie leaving and all that?

Guess it wasn't meant to be, huh?

I guess not.

You know what I mean?

You done good.

Took Carol Lynch and Black home.

Didn't like what you was feeling, getting away and what you had to do.

It wasn't easy.

It wasn't easy for me, neither.

I just want to thank you for what you've done is all.

Teaspoon, honey.

And I think, uh...

The less said about that, the better, huh?

Yeah.

I guess I'll just get back to the station.

Yeah, I'll just, uh... I'm gonna stay here for a while.

Au revoir, Miss Marie.
