[Billy] Previously, on Billy the Kid.

I'm ridin' with a good friend of yours.

You know Jesse?

Sure I do.

-[grunting] -I'll never leave!

-[gunshot] -No! No, no, no.

You're arrestin' me?

Sheriff Brady just wants to talk to ya.

Major Murphy our boss told me to go up there.

I had no alternative but to shoot.

[Brady] So it was self-defense?

Maybe he goes away for a while.

Gets re-educated.

Comes back out the other side as a lawman.

Billy got real friendly with Del Tobosco's daughter,

Dulcinea.

-[gunshot] -[shouting]

If Mr. Catron wants my belongings,

everything, my horses, my cattle he can have them.

Get out of the way.

-Devils, all of you! -[gunshot]

[gunfire]

[Dulcinea] They killed everyone, Billy.

My whole family.

One of the gunmen pretended to be you, Billy.

[Billy] I will avenge your family's death, I swear.

Why are all these men here?

Because we're gonna take over the town.

The people of Lincoln are tired of the lawlessness...

-[gunfire] -...and the chaos.

[Billy] They want change.

Now is the time.

I told you I didn't understand

why you needed to go to war. Now I do.

[Tunstall] Most of you will also know Juan Patron

as a leading member of the Hispanic community,

he's very important.

[speaking Spanish]

[in English] This is Judge John Wilson, Billy.

It was he who issued the warrant for the arrest

of those responsible for John Tunstall's murder.

[Billy] So after all, there are people on our side.

Mr. McSween, would you like a gun?

I was a pastor all these years and I've sworn off

ever using a gun myself.

Hola, Manuela.

This is Senorita Dulcinea Del Tobosco.

She needs somewhere safe to hole up for a while.

I'm hoping she can stay here with you.

[Walz] Mr Catron has just appointed

a new sheriff in Lincoln County.

A sheriff who's pledged to drive each and every gunman

and outlaw out of this territory

and restore law and order.

I suggest you co-operate with him.

You and me, we're partners here

and all I want is nothing more

than to see that Billy the fuckin' Kid

hangin' on the end of a rope.

[theme music playing]

Yep?

Jesse.

Take a seat.

How you gettin' on?

All right.

Sworn in my deputies.

Gettin' to know my way around.

What about you? You any closer

to findin' Billy?

Tryin'. Had some leads.

Reckon he pulled his camp way back, out of the way.

What do you think he's planning to do?

[scoffs]

Think about the most unlikely thing,

that's probably what he'll do.

-Mm-hmm. -Mm-hmm.

Like what?

He's been on the defensive. He's reacting to things.

My guess?

He'd rather be on the offense.

Otherwise, he knows he's going to get hunted down.

We best be vigilant, then.

You know what? I can spare you some of my men

to help with your hunt for him.

Got to keep the pressure on him.

Thanks. Appreciate that.

[sniffs]

I gotta say, it's strange seeing you

with that sheriff's badge on.

[unsettling music playing]

Things were very different back then, Jesse.

I was a lost soul.

Didn't know which way to turn.

You ever felt that way?

[chuckles]

I can't say I have... Sheriff.

You're born, and one day...

-[hand thuds table] -...you die.

That's all.

I wish you a good day.

[footsteps receding]

[indistinct chatter]

[horse neighing]

All right. We're takin' over the town.

We're gonna restore law and order in Lincoln,

but we have to take out The House to do it.

We're gonna ride in hard through Main Street,

splitting into three smaller groups

to take the Wortley Hotel,

The Tunstall Store.

Juan and the Mexicans, you'll take the downtown area.

From these strategic positions, I believe we can cut off

the house and drive 'em out,

liberating the people of Lincoln

and makin' the town safe.

We just have to watch for Sheriff Garrett.

I don't have a read on him yet.

Yeah, well we do know that he's lent Jesse

a couple of his deputies, and they're

searching the county for us right now.

That's another reason for moving into town now.

Right. Let's get to it.

[indistinct chatter]

[Waite] Let's go.

[speaking Spanish]

[in English] So have a few of your men come through

and flank 'em from the hillside.

[speaking Spanish]

[tense music playing]

[horses neighing]

Whoa.

[in English] Everyone to your positions.

Go!

[Billy] George, take the roof.

[George] On it.

What the hell's goin' on here?

I'm sorry, Sam.

We're talking over your hotel for a while.

Keep 'em safe, boys.

Hey.

What happened with the letter that Judge Wilson

sent to the congressman?

Warren Angel has yet to complete his fact-finding mission.

But he's issued an interim report

which suggests he's already uncovered possible evidence

of corrupt and illegal activities by both

Governor Axtell and Thomas Catron.

Okay.

So you're sayin' there's still a chance the law

could be on our side?

Maybe.

But I wouldn't count on it, Billy.

You know, we can't wait for it.

We're doing the right thing here, McSween.

[unsettling music playing]

[speaking Spanish]

[sniffling]

[distant horse neighing]

[in English] Watch yourself.

[distant dog barking]

Be on your ready, boys.

[door closes]

[wind howling]

[hooves pattering]

What do you want?

We've taken over the town.

We want to give you all a chance

to get out before it's too late.

We don't want a gun fight if we don't need one.

We're just here to restore the peace.

Well, uh, we're gonna have to talk to Mr. Riley about that.

[Billy] You talk to Mr. Riley, Mr. Murphy,

anybody else who might bring this business to a close.

Until then, we're not going anywhere.

[door creaks]

Close that fuckin' door.

-[door closes] -What did they say?

They uh, they said they'd taken the town,

and they want us to leave right away.

The hell they have! They're fuckin' lying.

And you're standing here like patsies.

Billy the Kid's right fuckin' down there.

Shoot him. Go ahead, shoot him!

[man] Come on, boys.

[man] Smash the windows! Hey!

[gunfire]

-[shouting] -[horse neighing]

[man 1] Watch out!

[gunfire]

-[horse neighing] -[grunting]

[Billy] Charlie!

Get cover, Charlie!

[gunfire]

-[gunshot] -[pained grunt]

-[gunfire] -[indistinct shouting]

-[man 2] Get him out of here! -[man 3] They're on the move!

Get on!

[sinister music playing]

Let's go!

-[gunfire] -Go boys. Go!

Hyah, hyah!

Hyah, hyah!

[men groaning]

What the fuck are you doin' lookin' at me?

Get some men down there, find the others.

I need to know what the fuck is happening.

Sure thing, Mr. Riley.

"Sure thing, Mr. Riley."

[door closes]

Oh, for fuck's sakes.

[tense music playing]

You ready?

They'll be comin' soon.

Yeah.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Waite] On the corner.

[Billy] He's got a gun on George.

[George] Put that rifle down!

[Waite] They ain't stopping, Billy.

-[gunshot] -[pained grunt]

-[gunfire] -[grunting]

-[man 1] They're on the roof! -[Charlie] Billy, on your right!

-[gunshot] -[pained grunt]

-[grunting] -[man 2] Take cover!

[Charlie] Coming around the back way.

Go, go, go, go!

[gunshot]

[gunshot echoing]

[soft eerie music playing]

Woo-hoo! Yeah, we did it!

I did it!

Center of the head! [laughing]

Woo-wee!

Hey. Don't touch the dead.

For what?

Shut the fuck up, will ya?

This ain't a game. Get inside.

[Billy] Everybody, back to your stations.

[ominous music playing]

[panting]

Hyah!

Hey. What's goin' on?

-[door opens] -Mr. Riley.

Where in the fuck were you?

It would seem that the Regulators

control most of the down-town

and the Mexican quarter.

Jesse's still out lookin' for The Kid?

Yes, and I've asked him to come back immediately.

And in the meantime...?

[breathes deeply]

I'm calling in my deputies.

As soon as they arrive, I'll send them

to the Tunstall Store.

If you need to kill a snake, Mr. Riley,

you gotta cut off its head.

Look, I advise you not to panic at this point.

It may not look like it,

but we still hold all the best cards in the pack.

[door opens]

[door closes]

-Hup, hup! -Hyah! Hyah!

[man] Tracks are leadin' North to the old South Spring Ranch.

-Go on! -Hyah! Hyah!

[tense music playing]

[baby crying]

Folks, you'll be safer outta town.

It's just for a few days.

[townsfolk 1] You can take the wagon with the kids, okay?

[townsfolk 2] I know, we'll be back soon.

[townsfolk chatter indistinctly]

-[George] Just for a few days. -[townsfolk 2] Don't worry.

[knocking at door]

[indistinct whispering]

[guns clicking]

[Sue] It's Sue McSween.

[Waite] Stand down, boys.

[door opens]

Sue!

I had to come and help.

[ominous music playing]

Can someone please move these tables here?

[man] Alright.

[Sue] I need some fresh water.

Can you please find me some blankets? Thank you.

Gentlemen, these badges mean something.

Okay? They're badges of honor.

Now, all of you have been given the great responsibility

of upholding the law and administering justice.

These are difficult times.

You will need courage and fortitude,

but I am placing my trust in you,

and I know that you will repay it.

Now...

which ones of you consider yourselves to be good shots?

All right.

I want you three to take up positions

along the edge of town before sunrise,

by the Tunstall Store.

And I want the rest of you to go surround

the Regulators' positions down-town.

But I want all of you to move in a wide circle.

They'll be lookin' for you.

So don't let anyone see you. You understand?

[deputies murmur in agreement]

Good. Good.

Watch out for those shooters on the roof.

[indistinct chatter]

[laughing]

-Final word? -[laughing]

Hey, Billy.

[laughing]

-Well, they know we're here now. -[men laughing]

We caught them by surprise today...

but tomorrow, they come back twice as hard.

My guess is first thing, they'll be sharpshooters

around the town.

Herrera.

Juan says you're his best shot.

All right. First thing, you prove it.

You take four others, and you find rooftop positions

and you take out those sharpshooters.

The rest of you just know that if they try

a head-on attack, we have more firepower.

[man] Damn right.

All right, everybody get some sleep.

We're gonna need it.

Charlie, you take first watch.

[bottles clink]

[soft music playing]

Dulcinea?

Dulcinea?

Yes?

[speaking Spanish]

[crying]

[suspenseful music playing]

[gunman, in English] Looks like they cleared out.

Hyah, hyah!

Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Billy's taken over the town.

Boys, let's get back there!

[all shouting]

Hyah, hyah! Come on!

[dog whining]

[McSween] It's Tunstall's dog.

McSween.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

[whistling]

[dog whining]

Here, boy.

Come on.

-[gunshot] -[dog yelps]

-[Billy] Let's go! -[Waite] Here we go, boys!

-[gunfire] -[indistinct shouting]

[pained grunt]

-[gunfire] -[indistinct shouting]

[Waite] Shooters in the grainery!

[pained grunt]

[shouting in pain]

-[gunfire] -[shouting]

[speaking Spanish]

[gunfire]

[pained grunt]

[screaming in pain]

-[in English] It's okay. -[screaming]

-It's okay. -[man 1] On the second floor!

[gunshots]

[man 2] Stay down, boys!

[pained grunt]

[man 2] There next!

[shouts]

[grunts]

[man 2] Eyes around the corner!

[Patron speaking Spanish]

[grunts]

-[men shouting] -[gunfire]

[screaming]

[grunts]

[gunfire ceases]

[man 2, in English] All clear!

[breathing heavily]

[horses neighing]

I have to say, I'm mighty glad to see you folks.

Well, you know, Sheriff Garrett's deputies

are attacking Tunstall's store from the north side.

They've got Billy and most of the leaders holed up inside.

They're the enemy.

To be frank, the Mexicans working for them

are worth nothing.

Maybe you should come down there with us, Mr. Riley.

[ominous music playing]

Juan tells me they cleared the deputies

from the bottom of town, so...

at this moment, we control that area.

And of course we control the Tunstall's store

and the surrounding area.

But it's time to stop defending and start attacking.

Tomorrow, at noon,

I want Juan and his men to join us here,

and together, we'll storm the Murphy Store

and drive Riley and his men out of town.

[men murmuring]

[breathes deeply]

[Billy] We in agreement?

[men murmur in agreement]

Mr. Riley, you have the money.

You can put up so we can hire more guns.

John Kenny's a day and a half away.

We need to face facts!

The Regulators with the Mexicans

constitute a significant force of around 60 fighters.

Right now, that's a third more than we can muster.

Mexicans as fighters--

Mr. Riley.

What's more, gentlemen,

is their core consists of a dozen or more

first-rate gunmen.

Not just Billy the Kid,

but Waite, Coe, Bowdre, and others.

They're not gonna walk away.

Sheriff's right.

If The Kid wants it...

he knows where we are.

[men murmuring]

Unless...

...we change the odds.

[soft eerie music playing]

[horse grunts]

[indistinct chatter]

Hold up, Sheriff.

Colonel Dudley,

it's the new sheriff.

Mr. Pat Garrett.

I'm sorry to call on you so late, Colonel Dudley.

First of all, I uh,

should have come up here sooner to pay my respect.

All right, Sheriff.

Governor Axtell wrote me

and told me about your appointment.

And I can well imagine that these early weeks

have been trying ones.

Please, have a seat.

Thank you, sir.

I'm sure you are aware

that a group of gunmen and thieves,

calling themselves the Regulators

and led by the outlaw Billy the Kid,

are trying to take over the town,

remove its lawful authorities.

Recently, there has been a great increase in killings.

Yes, I'm aware of all that, Sheriff.

Well, out of desperation, sir,

those lawful parties, myself included,

have reconstituted ourselves

as the "Law and Order Party."

And it is on behalf of that party

I've come up here tonight to ask for your help.

Well, you're not the first Sheriff in Lincoln

to ask for the military's help.

The fact is, the U.S. military is severely constrained

by the Constitution from interfering

with local and civic disputes.

Quite frankly, we're here to control the Indian population.

Not feuding citizens.

I understand.

But uh, what we have now in Lincoln

is not a civic dispute. It's butchery and mayhem.

I implore you to act before it's too late.

I have here a proclamation from Governor Axtell.

It commands all armed men to disband,

return to their homes, and not act as vigilantes

so long as U.S. Army can be summoned.

So...

can I take it, Colonel,

that you will interfere

on behalf of the forces of law and order?

[sighs]

No, Sheriff Garrett.

You see, my job here

is always to weigh out the advantages and disadvantages

of involving the army in civil society.

And when we do, we often earn the ill-will

of the population, and that, Sheriff...

is a matter of great consideration.

Let me tell you that unless you interfere right away...

there will be a massacre on the streets of Lincoln!

Don't you think that will earn you and the army

the ill-will of the people?

[unsettling music playing]

I wish you a good evening.

[men grunting]

[Jesse] Beckwith!

-[Jesse] Beckwith? - Yeah!

-Oil! -Hammer it in!

[man] Let's go! Let's go!

[ticking loudly]

[sighs]

I'll pray for you, Billy.

We must never surrender.

I believe that now.

We're fighting for a good cause.

A noble cause.

May God give you the victory.

Thank you.

I do hope you're right.

So...

[gun clicking]

What are you gonna do?

Do you think the Regulators

are strong enough to attack us here?

Yeah, they are.

Then what are ya gonna do?

Riley, steady.

I reckon you boys should take a look outside.

[sighs]

[tense percussive music playing]

Ya!

Good man, Sheriff Garrett.

Good man!

Colonel Dudley.

Colonel Dudley.

Thank you.

You came just in time.

[Lt. Smith] Company, halt!

It's all right, Sheriff. Just doing our duty.

Sheriff.

Which men do you want arrested, exactly?

I want the whole damn business.

Sheriff Garrett, let me be perfectly clear.

[horse neighing]

I did not come to Lincoln today to assist you in any way.

I'm here to ensure the safety of the women and children.

The men could take care of themselves.

But if anyone, and I stress anyone,

fires upon my company,

I will return fire immediately. Understood?

Colonel Dudley, I am Alexander McSween.

I act as Attorney for the Regulators,

those who are fighting for an end to corruption

here in Lincoln. While I am gratified

that your troopers will remain neutral,

I must point out that among those supporting you

are several men charged with the murder of John Tunstall

and for whose immediate arrest I carry warrants,

signed by a Judge John Wilson.

[Pat Garrett] And I have warrants for the arrest

of those responsible for the murder of Sheriff Brady.

Some of whom are standing right over there, Mr. McSween.

Gentlemen, I am not here to arrest anyone today.

I came here to restore the peace.

I am ordering all of you to go home, now.

Leave immediately.

This town is under permanent curfew.

Find anybody out on the streets past hours

without permission or a damn good reason

will be arrested. Understood?

Clear?

-Lieutenant? -Sir.

[Lt. Smith] Cavalry, cordon to the south.

Infantry, let's clear the civilians, gently.

[crowd murmuring]

[Jesse] Woo!

[animals howling]

[cheering]

All right, let's raise a glass

to Colonel Nathan Dudley

and the U.S. Cavalry.

Let's go, boys!

[all cheering]

And don't forget Pat Garrett.

He's a good man. Raise a glass to Sheriff Pat Garrett.

[all cheering]

[upbeat fiddle music playing]

That's yours.

Ah...

So what do you gotta say for yourself?

Well, what do you mean?

What do I mean?

Pat Garrett just about saved your ass.

You personally have done jack-shit.

That's what I mean.

[tense music playing]

[door opens]

Well?

They've put up their tents

in a field just below Murphy's store.

[McSween] They've won.

Murphy and Riley. They've won.

No, they haven't. Colonel Dudley is the real law in this country.

And when we explain to him--

It won't make any difference, Mrs. McSween.

[Mrs. McSween] The Colonel swore he wasn't taking sides.

He's only here to restore the peace.

I don't know what happened. I didn't think

the army was gonna get involved.

They're not supposed to get involved.

No one saw this comin'.

I didn't see this comin'.

I'll be right back.

Billy.

-[upbeat fiddle music playing] -[cheering]

[ominous music playing]

-[music fades] -[door opens]

[panting]

[panting]

[upbeat fiddle music playing]

Where's Jesse?

I don't know. Why?

Leave. Now.

We need to make plans. Now's our chance.

For what?

To make new moves!

I'll find him, Mr. Riley.

Do.

[tense music playing]

[creaking]

[footsteps approaching]

[thunder rumbling]

[gun clicking]

[door closes]

Hello, Billy.

Pat.

It's good to see you.

Really?

[clears throat]

[gun thuds on floor]

Look, I don't want you to think

that we're on opposite sides here.

Because we're not.

I want what you want.

Oh, you want justice too?

Of course I want justice.

You want the end of the House? The end of the Rings?

I can't control that, Billy. I'm just the Sheriff.

Well, as just the Sheriff,

I presume you're gonna stay neutral in this whole business

and not pick sides with The House.

Billy, it is so much more complicated than that.

The fuck it is.

You can't fight the system.

And now we're talking.

If there's no law, there's only anarchy.

And that is in no one's interest.

You know, that sounds like it's right outta their handbook.

Billy...

[clears throat]

You have to give up.

You can't win.

When are you gonna learn this ain't a game for me?

I don't care about winning.

All I care about is that for too long,

a few corrupt assholes in Santa Fe,

like Axtell and Catron

been pullin' all the strings down her in Lincoln,

bleedin' these poor people dry.

And if they speak up, if anyone speaks up,

they're silenced.

And if they can't be silenced, well then, they're killed.

We're just tryin' to change it, Pat.

But we need your help.

You have been given a badge, you have the power.

Use it.

[sighs]
