Original subtitles

I'm supposed to get time in between.

Man: Ladies and gentlemen,

could I have your attention, please?

Everybody over here.

Mort, tie up your horse and get over here.

This is important.

Come on out, folks.

Are you the man who cut the deputy's throat?

You don't interfere with my business,

I won't interfere with yours.

Come on, folks. Come on down.

Come on.

Now Reese Paxton has escaped from prison

and come back from the dead.

So we're gonna need to form a posse.

Uh, we're gonna deputize you men.

Yeah, and maybe some of you women too.

So grab a gun and let's search the town.

Come on.

What-- what is it?

The preacher.

Kate: Sarah!

Hey, what's the matter?

What got into Sarah?

Foolishness!

Empty-headed negra foolishness.

Come help me with this.

You know, I haven't carried a gun since the war.

Didn't enjoy them then neither.

Whole world's turning upside down.

We should've never got involved.

You were plenty willing to get involved at the trial.

This ain't about that. This is about what happened

to his wife and his little boy--

now what do you know about that?

I've heard stories.

Maybe we should have gone to town after all.

Yeah, everything's fine in town.

There. You're all tied.

Give me my dollar. I'm supposed to get a dollar every time we go to town.

Yeah, but we didn't go to town.

Well, we were supposed to till all this trouble come up.

Yeah, but even when we do go, you never spend a dime anyway.

Yeah, but you're supposed to give me a dollar.

Now you agreed, right?

Now, Kate.

Don't you love your Kate no more?

Oh, yes, ma'am. I love my Kate.

Well then?

I've got to go find delbert.

Make this place defensible

in case Reese shows up.

Fine.

Delbert?

Delbert? I'm gonna pull you off--

I got nothing against you, Caleb,

but I'm gonna kill your overseer.

And I'm gonna see your wife.

Kate?

Maybe you want to talk me out of it?

What can I say?

Well, if you love her, maybe there's some good in her.

She's a frugal housekeeper.

Ahhh!

God damn it, Caleb! Do something!

Billy: Well, your darkies have all run off.

But I believe it was delbert Paxton wanted, so...

Y'all should be safe now.

I never touched his wife or child,

but I was guilty too.

'Cause I kept silent, but no more!

Now shut up, Caleb.

What's he want with you anyway?

He just wants justice.

That's all.

Oh, he's delirious.

We need to put this right.

You got any wine opium?

You can end the rampage.

You know you can.

All you have to do is confess.

A large dose.

If you confess, Reese-- Reese'll let up.

- Now please. - Hush up, hear?

Drink this all. Come on.

Mmm.

Try to calm yourself.

Yeah.

Kate?

You know, in light of recent events,

if something tragic were to happen to your husband,

I think people are ready to believe that Reese Paxton might have done it.

Billy.

You know, I think I better check on Caleb one last time.

Kate?

You know, with money so hard to come by,

I actually have quite a lot of it.

I got some silver liberties,

some gold eagles,

some gold Indians, half-eagles.

I got $50.

Hey, Billy.

Get off-- get your hands off of me.

I guess nowadays,

a little woman--

she needs about every penny.

Hmm?

Inside.

Are you ready to make atonement?

No, Caleb.

I hope you are.

All right.

Amos: I walked right into her lap.

So for Caleb's demise,

Kate was laid.

Reese: You missed one.

I guess I'm a lot luckier than you are.

You want more?

Help! Help! Help!

I know you think you can come and go as you please,

but this is my room.

And I don't share it with anyone unless--

well, for that, you can stay the whole night.

Might as well. Your murders frightened off most my business anyway.

I'll sleep in the chair.

I'm not good enough for you because I screw for money?

It's the money of faithless men that'll buy me a future.

Wanna step away, please? Step away.

Step away. Step away.

Oh my god. He killed Kate.

Let's all go about our business. Come on, step away.

Run home. Let's go. Wrap it up.

- Step away. Come on. - Sarah, y'all seen the sheriff?

Sarah: Your father sent for him.

Oh, now I can make her look so pretty.

He gonna find us too.

We gonna find him first.

Well, we searched the whole town, so what exactly do you recommend?

- Red. - Howdy, sheriff.

"Howdy, sheriff."

Never get used to that.

Boys.

You mind?

Yeah.

What'd my daddy want?

Uh, oh, you know, the usual.

He was unhappy with how you're handling the situation.

Well, you're the sheriff.

Mmm.

But mayor, nevertheless,

all his hands have absconded into the thickets.

It's just like it was when the strike was on,

only now his son and his overseer don't really seem to care.

Well, shoot, if they all run off,

then there's nothing left to oversee. Is there?

It's all because of that goddamned war hero, Reese Paxton.

Son of a bitch.

I wanted him gone; I got him gone.

Well, I want him dead and so help me, I will get him dead.

Just have a little more courage there.

Well, we didn't search this whole town.

Didn't search the first place I'd go if I got loose.

You'd risk everything for a little bit of chicken.

Yeah, why not? Stiff dick...

Lead a man places he wouldn't go with a double-barrel shotgun.

Wait your turn!

Ahem!

So how's the missus?

Good night.

Pardon the invasion.

Oh.

Now those are someone's personal belongings.

Lord have mercy.

That's a gold half-eagle, just like I gave Kate.

New Orleans' mint presses half-eagles all day long.

Now come on, let's go.

Reese Paxton give this to you?

- No. - Huh?

- Ezra: Hey! - Come on.

Billy. Billy, come on now. That's enough.

Ahh!

Where did you get this?

It was a customer.

A rich customer. He owns a plantation.

Which plantation was it?

I don't know.

He wanted something special. He paid me extra.

I'm gonna give you something extra special.

All right, come on. There's no call for that.

- You want to stay, sheriff? - There's no call for this.

Hey!

Give me the cigar.

You seen Reese Paxton?

- Yes or no. - No.

You are not doing this--

no, I swear!

You're not doing this!

- She ain't seen him. - You all right, darling?

For god's sake, Amos, be quick about it.

No. Come on, Amos.

Come on now.

- Just leave her now. Don't-- - let me see this.

Why don't you leave her be?

Hey. I got two guns cocked now.

Hmm?

Which one do you want me to let go of first?

This is wrong.

You little thing. How are you, hmm?

- What has he done?

Well, how nice of you to wait for me, brother.

Well, not riding home by myself.

- Good night, red. - Red: Good night.

The mayor was looking for you.

Damn it.

Why didn't you tell him what he wanted to know?

Hmm. He didn't ask politely.

Turn towards me. Turn towards me.

Ooh.

Is that your family?

We were traveling. Indians attacked...

With arrows and painted faces,

just like you hear about.

When you're a child,

you think of fairy tales.

You just gotta sit up for a while.

Let it lie.

Judge Duke: Even my house niggers have run off.

Goddamn slave uprising!

They're not slaves anymore, judge.

Daddy, why don't y'all go home?

We'll find the son of a bitch.

All you had to do was run a posse when I told you to.

We wouldn't be in this goddamned mess. Would we?

No.

I did the best I could.

That's why the room was so crowded.

It was a bunch of old ladies and little girls.

You know, people are saying-- folks are saying

that Billy started it; Maybe he should finish it.

If he can.

I want Reese Paxton.

Ahh!

We don't know where he is!

Shh.

I ain't seen him.

Y'all living in his cabin here.

Folks say it was haunted.

Please, master.

And what if there were irregularities in Paxton's trial?

I put my faith in the court.

So did Reese Paxton.

What if there were extenuating circumstances?

- Mayor! - --Circumstances!

You want to expedite it in there?

See, now you've given the warden a low opinion of me.

Oh!

Old lady, old man.

Whatever--

you all know what an Arkansas toothpick is?

Where is he?

Where is he?

Where is he?

Right behind you.

There may be two of us but there are plenty of guns outside.

So we got you.

Not before I shoot one of you sons of bitches in the belly.

I've seen it in the war.

A gut shot is a terrible and painful way to die.

That's right, you're a big hero.

All that made me a hero

was a knack for killing-- a skill I'd almost forgotten

until you caused me to remember.

I don't think the old couple has cleared it yet.

They sound the bugle,

I shoot you in the belly...

Or the balls, Billy boy.

Warden: Mayor, wanna expedite it in there?

Hyah!

Damn! Son of a bitch!

I'm taking charge. From here on out,

this is a military operation.

- Mount up! - Get a horse!

Mayor, I'm starting to worry about your daddy.

I think maybe I ought to go and guard him.

Reese gets through here, why, forget it. We're--

- sheriff? - Yeah?

Why don't you go on back and find a good hiding space

behind the skirts of the women and children?

Now that's good.

They would need some protecting.

Um, pardon.

What kind of a chickenshit operation you runnin'?

Through this holy land of these infidels...

Praise the lord.

Let's go.

Woman: You stay together. Don't go too far away.

- Look around! - Show yourself.

- Where is Reese Paxton? - We got a right to be here.

- Where's Reese Paxton? - Woman: We got rights now!

- We ain't gonna wait all day. - Where is he?

This is your last chance!

Turn over Paxton now or we start shooting!

- Paxton. - Man: Where is he?

Spread out.

We'll pick them off one by one.

I got ya.

Paxton.

Paxton!

All right, fan out and mop up.

Come on!

Get her!

What's my daddy's name?

You ungrateful witch

certainly crushed this rebellion.

Let them do the dirty work.

Come on.

This how it was in the war?

Huh? You think they got him?

- Come on.

My daddy can't hardly expect me to best reach Paxton

when he's got a whole colored goddamned army behind him.

You know what I mean? Ya! Come on.

Ahhh ahhh ahh!

Man: Reese, watch out!

I'm all right. I'm all right.

I'm out too.

Stay.

Don't get down off that horse.

Why not, daddy?

'Cause you ain't smiling.

That means Paxton is still alive.

Ezra and I don't want you leading him here.

You a tired old man, daddy.

You got one foot in the grave.

Soon enough, I'm gonna own this whole plantation!

You kill Reese Paxton

and just maybe this old coot will take you back into his bosom.

This is no time to be taking a drink.

Just a taste to steady my hand, judge.

That your cotton gin burning?

No, that's the mill, boy. That's the cotton gin.

And that's the plantation store.

Guess your theory about Reese only gunning after Billy is a little outdated.

Shut up.

Did you see him?

I don't see shit.

Perhaps I should go look for help?

He'd shoot you down. Then what happens to me?

Judge, if he shoots me, what happens to you is hardly my problem.

Reese: I can wait you out,

pick you off,

or burn you down!

Your point is?

This is the judge's day to die.

And you, useless son of a bitch, can go!

Don't forget your duty, sheriff.

Oh...

I was no more sheriff than I was a lawyer.

You ain't going nowhere.

I hear there's an opening for a preacher.

You wouldn't shoot a man of the cloth, now would you?

Richmond, find me a horse!

Richmond!

Richmond!

Richmond!

Richmond! I called you!

Come on, come on!

We gotta get on.

Reese!

You just made me the richest man in thibodaux!

Come on back here. Let me thank you.

Come on!

Reese!

It's you and me now!

I'm gonna kill ya!

You hear me?

Are you packing to go?

You and I, we'll go together.

There's nothing left of me. I'm dead inside.

You go. You find a safe place somewhere.

But I can't.

I thank you.

Hey!

Come out here, Reese!

Let's finish this once and for all!

No weapons!

Just our bare hands!

Come on out here! Let's finish it!

You a cowardly son of a bitch!

Reese!

Reese.

You hidin' in a whorehouse.

You devil.

You human after all.

Take a look at my rock collection.

I ain't got no guns, Reese.

No knives.

How about you?

That's right. Is it gonna be bare knuckles or wrestling?

Huh? No bitin'. No gouging.

See, you didn't say nothing about leather.

How about I'll just take your head off?

Come on.

Now--

now what do you say,

Billy boy?

Hmm? Hmm?

Ahhh!

No!

Man: Paxton?

Mister Paxton? Mister Paxton?

He's all mine now.

No!

Whoa.
