Speaker A
Okay, Arthur's out looking. I sent him up ahead. If we don't stop soon, we'll all be dying. This weather, it's May. I'm just hoping the law got as lost as we did.
Speaker A
There. Arthur, any luck? I found a place where we can get some shelter. Let Davey rest while he, you know, an old man in town. Abandoned. It ain't far. Come on. Come on. [screaming] Sorry.
Speaker A
Take them in here. Miss Gascal, get that fire lit quick. Miss Jones, bring in whatever blankets we have. Mr. Pearson, see what we've got in terms of food.
Speaker A
Davey's dead. There was nothing more you could have done. What are we going to do? We need supplies. Well, first of all, you're going to stay here, and you were going to get yourself warm. Now, I sent John
Speaker A
and Micah scouting out ahead. Arthur and I, we're going to ride out, see if we can find one of them. And this just for a short bit, and I don't see what other choice we have.
Speaker A
Listen, listen to me all of you for a moment. Now, we've had a bad couple of days.
Speaker A
I loved Davey, Jenny, Sean, Mac. They might be okay. We don't know, but we lost some folks.
Speaker A
Now, if I could throw myself in the ground in their stead, I'd do it gladly.
Speaker A
But we are going to ride out and we are going to find some food. Everybody, we're safe now. There ain't nobody following us through a storm like this one. And by the time they get here, well, we're going to be long gone.
Speaker A
We've been through worse than this before. Mr. Pearson, Miss Grimshaw, I need you to turn this place into a camp. We may be here for a few days now. All of you, all of you, get yourselves warm.
Speaker A
Stay strong. Stay with me. We ain't done yet. Come on, Arthur. All right, we've got some work to do.
Speaker A
We ain't run into them yet, so they both must have headed down the hill.
Speaker A
Sure. Hey, I ain't had time to ask you what really went down back there on that boat. We missed you. That's what happened. Come on.
Speaker A
Oh, hey, you need horses. Oh, yeah. Hey, Mr. Smith, get yourself indoors. You need to rest that hand.
Speaker A
I'll live. Get indoors, son. We need you strong. Okay. All right. Let's head out. Ain't sure what we're going to find out here, Dutch. We have to try. Stay close. We'll do our best to stick to the trail. This
Speaker A
goddamn weather. Been two days or more like this now. Oh, it has to blow over soon.
Speaker A
Whoa. Careful over this bridge here. Can't believe we lost Davey, too. He's the last one, Arthur. No more. We need to get those people warm and fed.
Speaker A
At least we don't need to worry about Pinkertons tailing us in this. A couple more days, we'll be on the other side.
Speaker A
You need to help me pick the others back up. You're the only one I can rely on to stay strong right now. We got fire and shelter. That's a start.
Speaker A
So, do you think it was a trap in Blackwater? That many men? Oh, they knew we were coming. But there was money on that boat. All right. Lots of us. I stashed what we took with all our money in town
Speaker A
right before we fled. Wait, is that someone coming towards us? You up ahead. Who's here?
Speaker A
Micah, gentlemen, found anything? I think so. Found a little homestead down that way. Okay. Anyone home?
Speaker A
Sure. Place is blazing with light and noise. Sounded like a party. Let's go see.
Speaker A
Follow me. Mm- [clears throat] How's Davey doing? He didn't make it. Nor did little Jenny.
Speaker A
That's too bad. Davey was a real fighter. Both of them calendar boys is or was.
Speaker A
Yeah. And Mac Sean, we don't know. Quite a business. I'm glad you're all right, Micah.
Speaker A
Always. Ask him if he's seen John. Hey, have you seen John, Micah? Didn't see much of anything once this storm came in.
Speaker A
He hasn't seen him. You'll be fine. Things always turn out right for that boy.
Speaker A
I hope Mac and Shawn are still out there somewhere, too. Hey, Arthur, let me take the rear. You move up.
Speaker A
You sure about this, Ma? Mr. Morgan, I never thought I would be so pleased to see your face. Been kind of lonely out here. Where's everyone else? Old mining camp. Back up the hill. Huddled around a fire, waiting for daddy to put food on
Speaker A
the table. Said it before, we got too many mouths to feed. Well, we got a few less now, so you should be happy.
Speaker A
That ain't fair, Arthur. I earn my share. You think it's unreasonable to expect others to do the same?
Speaker A
So, this house, you speak to the people there already? No. Like Dutch told us, look, but don't talk to no one. Just following orders.
Speaker A
You know me. I'm a good boy, right? How much further? Not far. What does that mean? Not far.
Speaker A
Thanks. Yeah. Okay, let's keep it down now, gentlemen. It's just up ahead. Oh. Oh.
Speaker A
Okay, let's head down there. Let's hitch up here. Whoa. Whoa. Let me do the talking. We don't want to scare these folks.
Speaker A
Sounds like quite the party. You two get yourself out of sight. One lonely man is a lot less intimidating than three nasty looking degenerates.
Speaker A
Arthur in that cattle shed on the left. Micah, get down behind that wagon in front.
Speaker A
Hello. Shut up, Billy. Excuse me. Hello. Oh, well, hello, friend. What you want? I am very sorry to disturb you. Uh, my friends and I, well, we got into some trouble up the way. Lost in the storm.
Speaker A
Ah gentlemen, we can't help you, mister. I got folks. Arthur dying on the track.
Speaker A
Arthur, we got a problem. [laughter] There's a corpse right here. Now, I just saw there's a body in the wagon.
Speaker A
I hear you. Just gentlemen, keep your eyes on Dutch. Please should go now, buddy.
Speaker A
Now friend, I ain't asking for much. Please, I am kind of desperate. Hey, I don't believe it. Come here, partner. Come here.
Speaker A
It's god damn [ __ ] Look out. There's more to bastard. [bell] [music] Watch out the window ready for you.
Speaker A
[music] I will goddamn [music] bastards. You're dead now. [music] [music] Oh boy. Arthur, don't shoot. God damn O'Driscoll boys here. Why?
Speaker A
I don't know. Maybe same reason as us. Micah, go bring the horses closer to the house. Arthur, let's go search the cabin.
Speaker A
Smells like a party in here. Turn the place upside down. Grab as many supplies as you can. We need the essentials. Food, medicine, whiskey.
Speaker A
I'm starving. You should eat something now. Get your strength up for the ride back.
Speaker A
O'Driscolls. I don't believe it. It's a strange one. All right. Maybe they're hiding up here, too. There's a big price on Cole O'Driscoll's head.
Speaker A
Nearly as big as the one on yours. Wanting Colton dead is about the only thing me and Uncle Sam agreed on.
Speaker A
Looks like the poor bastard was married, too. Some point. If we can't eat it or drink it, put it down.
Speaker A
Place is dry and warm. We could maybe move the women and Jack down here.
Speaker A
Maybe. We'll see how they are when we get back. I don't really want us to split up.
Speaker A
Keep searching while I pack these on the horses. Grab anything you think we can use, then meet me out here.
Speaker A
Micah. Arthur, keep looking for stuff. Arthur, go see if there's anything in that barn. Micah, you search the cabin.
Speaker A
See what we missed. Sure. Bastard shot my cousin. Well, he started it. I'm going to break your neck.
Speaker A
[music] What's going on? Now, this guy just jumped me. Did he now? Sneaky little bastard. Should I kill him?
Speaker A
No, not yet. Find out what they're doing here. And where Cole is? Oh, this son of a [ __ ] would talk.
Speaker A
Where's Cole O'Driscoll? With the others at an old mining camp southwest of here near the lake.
Speaker A
What are you bastards doing? Why are you up here? We're fixing to rob some train. Going to blow the tracks. No, I don't know more than that. I swear.
Speaker A
[laughter] Well, I would say it looks like you have this, Arthur. Do what you want with him.
Speaker A
I don't care. But bring that horse when you're done. I don't know anything else.
Speaker A
Get the hell out of here. Go. Easy. Easy there. Whoa. Now easy. All right boy.
Speaker A
You let him go, huh? Saw the little bastard scurry and all. Yeah, figured he won't get far in this anyway.
Speaker A
That looks like a decent horse. You should keep him. You need to hitch him.
Speaker A
He's already skittish. [screaming] I found a sour wild thing, ain't you? Leave her alone.
Speaker A
I wasn't doing nothing.
Speaker A
Miss, are you fool? Miss, now it is going to be okay. We mean you no harm, miss. Please, come on. It'll be okay. We need to get out of here and quick. Come on now.
Speaker A
Are you okay, miss? They came three days ago and my husband they miss you are safe now and can't stay here.
Speaker A
You come with us. Of course, it's okay. We're bad men. We ain't them. It's okay.
Speaker A
Get on. We'll keep you safe until you figure out what you want to do.
Speaker A
What's your name? Miss Miss Adler. Adler. Sadie Adler. Mrs. I He He was my husband.
Speaker A
[music] [music] Hey, somebody's coming. Looks like it's Dutch. Hey everybody, Dutch is back. How'd you get on?
Speaker A
Micah found a homestead, but he weren't the first. Cole O'Driscoll and his scum, they beat us to it.
Speaker A
We found some of them there, but there is more about apparently scouting the train. Thank you.
Speaker A
That's the last thing we need right now, Judge. Well, it is what it is. But we found some supplies, some blankets, a little bit of food, and this poor soul. Mrs.
Speaker A
Adler, Miss Tilly, Miss Karen, would you warm her up? Give her a drink or something.
Speaker A
And Mrs. Adler, it's going to be okay. You're safe now. They turned her into a widow. Animals.
Speaker A
I need some rest. I haven't slept in 3 days. You're over here. Miss O'Shea will show you the way. Mr. Morgan, we put you in a room over here.
Speaker A
Thank you, Miss Grimshaw. Mr. Bell, you're with the fellas over there. What? How come Arthur gets a room and I get a bunk bed next to Bill Williamson and a bunch of [ __ ] Get yourself to bed.
Speaker A
[music] He ain't been seen in days. Weather ain't let up. He's strong and he's smart. Strong at least. Hello, Arthur.
Speaker A
Abigail. Arthur, how you doing? Just fine, Abigail. And you? I need you to I'm I'm sorry. I'm sorry to ask, but it's little John. He's got himself caught into a scrape again.
Speaker A
He ain't been seen in two two days. Your John will be fine. I mean, he may be as dumb as rocks and as dull as rusted iron. But that ain't changing because he got caught in some snowstorm.
Speaker A
Please go take a look, Javier. Yes, Javier. Will you ride out with Arthur to take a look for John?
Speaker A
[clears throat] You're the two best fit men we've got now. She's We're all pretty worried about him.
Speaker A
I know the situation were reversed and he'd look for me. Thank you. This way. Last I know, John was headed up the river.
Speaker A
For all we know, he kept riding north and never looked back. He wouldn't leave. Not like that.
Speaker A
Well, it wouldn't be the first time. Hey, I see some smoke. Come on, let's take a look.
Speaker A
Let's hope it ain't more of Briscoll's boys. Well, seems somebody left recently and that way.
Speaker A
Sure. Well, come on then. There's some tracks leading to the river few hours ago most.
Speaker A
It's cross. See, they continue up that way. You think it's John? You tell me. These are horse tracks for sure, but could be anyone. Let's just see where they lead.
Speaker A
So, you were there, Javier. What really happened on that boat? We had the money. It seemed fine. Then suddenly they were everywhere.
Speaker A
Bounty hunters? No. Pinkerton. It was crazy. Raining bullets. Take it slow. Big ravine here.
Speaker A
Dutch killed a girl in a bad way. But it was a bad situation. That ain't like him though.
Speaker A
Tracks go left down here. Davey got shot. Mac and John both shot, too. Sean, we don't even know. I'm surprised we escaped at all. By the time you boys showed up from the other side of town, we were only just holding on.
Speaker A
Bad business. All right, easy. Damn, snow's coming in hot again. We'll lose these tracks if we don't move fast.
Speaker A
Careful. It's getting narrow here. Come on, boy. Horses are struggling. Yeah, a lot of fresh snow here.
Speaker A
I don't know about this, Javier. I mean, we can't follow nothing. Now, let's push on a little bit. Maybe we'll pick up the trail again.
Speaker A
Almost there. Come on now. Hey, look over there. You see that? Whoa. John was riding that horse when we left Blackwater.
Speaker A
Let's see if he can hear us. Come on. Up there. overhead. He's coming from up ahead somewhere.
Speaker A
I don't think we can go much further on the horses. Have to walk from here.
Speaker A
I could that shotgun from your horse. Who knows what's up ahead down this way.
Speaker A
You sure about this? Over here. It's coming from this way. Okay. Watch out here that we're high up here.
Speaker A
You're telling me. Help me. Careful. There's a drop here. It's slippery. Be careful. Stay low under here.
Speaker A
Okay, good. Now, watch your step. This is real slippery. Stay close to the wall up here. Come on.
Speaker A
Come on. Over here. That sounds closer now. Come on. We're coming, John. Damn, it's cold.
Speaker A
How you doing? I'm miserable. Did a tough few days? I know. Here, take a drink of this. Thanks.
Speaker A
I'm not designed for this snow. Let's keep moving then. Come on. Good. Mar. John, can you hear me?
Speaker A
John, you there? I'm here. Out of the ledge. That's John. We're coming down here.
Speaker A
Fellas there. All right, [screaming] hop down, Marston. He's down here. That's quite a scratch you got there.
Speaker A
Never thought I'd say this, but it's good to see you, Arthur Morgan. You don't look so good. I don't feel too good neither.
Speaker A
I'm freezing. Don't die just yet, cowboy. Come on, compare. Well, we can't go back the way we came.
Speaker A
Let's try this way. Ain't you a sorry s? Can't argue with you there. See, I told Dutch you weren't the right man for this.
Speaker A
I'm sure you did. You all right? You think so? Come on. Hopefully this will lead us out.
Speaker A
Look up there. Perfect. You head for the horses. I'll [music] keep John's friends off until you're clear.
Speaker A
Okay, here we go. John, what are you talking about? [music] Good work, Arthur. Okay, let's get going before any more of these bastards show up.
Speaker A
[music] Easy boy. Good boy. [music] [music] Come on then. Let's get back to the others.
Speaker A
Yeah, I don't feel too good. You'll be fine. It's just like a a dog bite.
Speaker A
You knew a fella got bit by a dog. Died an hour later. You ain't going to die?
Speaker A
Not yet. up there. More of them. Get out of here. [ __ ] There's more on the right. More coming in on the left. Get out of here.
Speaker A
Get the hell out of here. Get out. You see any more, Arthur? Don't think so.
Speaker A
Jesus. You still with us, Marston? Just about. You're going to be okay. We have some shelter now.
Speaker A
Thanks for coming for me. Of course. That bullet in Blackwater, now this. You had a hell of a time. And Arthur always says I'm lucky. None of us are lucky right now.
Speaker A
We should ride in the water for a bit. Try to lose a scent. Don't want to leave the trail right back to camp.
Speaker A
You know, we're going to need to come up with a better story for that scar.
Speaker A
So, freezing, bleeding, starving, damn near getting eaten to death ain't good enough for you. Here, let's cross to the left.
Speaker A
Yeah. Come on, let's push hard and get back. See those buildings up ahead, John?
Speaker A
That's where we camped. Nearly there. Come on. Someone help John down off this horse.
Speaker A
We get some help here. We got some help. We need some help here. Come on, help him down.
Speaker A
You're alive. You're alive. Come on. Here we go. There we go. A careful. It's his leg.
Speaker A
Come on. Let's get you warm. Thank you. Thank you both. This is a new low, even by your standards.
Speaker A
Thank you, Arthur. Thank you. You got any other lost maidens need saving? Not today.
Speaker A
Have you and Dutch talked about how we're going to get out of this? I was just discussing with Harris Strauss. When the weather breaks, I suppose we'll have to keep heading east.
Speaker A
East into all that that civilization. I know the west is where our problems are worse.
Speaker A
Come on here, Strauss. Let's get warm. Thank you, Mr. Morgan. We have been running for weeks.
Speaker A
We found shelter and been resting here in some old abandoned mining town while we wait the thaw.
Speaker A
Hardly the spring I had been hoping for. So what now, Dutch? We get strong, we get warm, and we wait and the storm break up with you boys because I thought you liked action. Couple of days on the lamb
Speaker A
and you lot have all turned yellow. Apart from you, of course. Shut up, Micah.
Speaker A
I ain't never seen so many long faces. H I guess I guess folks miss them that fell. But when I fall, I don't want no fuss.
Speaker A
When you fall, there'll be a party. [laughter] The party probably. Funny, huh? Sure. I don't feel like being laughed at by the likes of you two.
Speaker A
Stop it. Now you fools punching each other when Como Driscoll's needing punching hard. You want to sit around waiting for him to come find us? All of you, we got work to do. Come on.
Speaker A
Are you sure about this, Dutch? Yes. Both been through a lot recently. We hardly back on our feet yet. And the last thing we need is to get bushwacked by Cole O'Driscoll. Let's go.
Speaker A
I know you hate him, Dutch. He's here for us. I doubt that. No, you're just doubting me. I would never doubt you, Dutch. You You always said revenge is a luxury we can't afford.
Speaker A
This is a right call, Arthur. Take this. And this is about more than revenge for business long ago. They were talking about trains and detonators here. Colem always had good information. Come on.
Speaker A
And you think now is the right time to hit a train? Now you might fancy living on deer piss and rabbit [ __ ] I'm getting too old for that life. Mr.
Speaker A
Matthews, Mr. Smith, Mr. Pearson, would you please look after the place? There are O'Driscolls about [screaming] Southwest, right, Arthur?
Speaker A
Yeah, you said follow the main trail southwest. They're camped near some lake. Okay, let's go find these bastards before they find us and rob this score of their planet.
Speaker A
What's that? Tracks, horses. Quite a few of them. As far as I can tell, the only fools out here are us and them. They must be this way.
Speaker A
You good, Dutch? Of course. Listen, I know you don't think much of my ideas recently, but this is the right move.
Speaker A
Okay, you know I got your back. I learned a long time ago that you hit Cole O'Driscoll. Wait for him and people you love will die.
Speaker A
This feud between you and him needs to be put to rest. One way or another, it will be.
Speaker A
Some things I can forgive, others I can forget. What he did to Hannibal, I can't do neither. You killed his brother Dutch.
Speaker A
Yes, I did. And hope the bastards will be reunited soon enough. That's how this will end.
Speaker A
Damn right, boss. See that smoke? Let's cut up here and take a look. They said it was near the lake, so we must be close.
Speaker A
Hold up here. Hold. All right, gentlemen. This is it. Are we goddamn ready? Ready, Dutch?
Speaker A
Good. Now, Mr. Morgan and I, we're going to head up here a little. See if we can't get a sense of the layout of the camp. Mr. Williamson, Mr. Bell, you two take up a hidden position just outside
Speaker A
the camp. Mr. Summers, Mr. Esquea, you two hold position here. Let's go. There they are.
Speaker A
That's definitely them home. I think so. Yeah, that's him. Who's he talking to? He don't seem very happy.
Speaker A
No. They leaving? Seem to be. Should we go get them? No. Con wait. Best to get some of them out of there.
Speaker A
and much less fun to rob him and his score if he never finds out about it.
Speaker A
Come on, let's get down there. Don't forget to grab that rifle from your horse.
Speaker A
You boys be ready to pick them off from up there. Sure thing. Good. Come on, let's go.
Speaker A
We'll circle around the far side and go down that way. Same as Micah and Bill.
Speaker A
Like you said, revenge is a luxury we can't afford. Yeah, just wasn't sure you agreed with me.
Speaker A
Arthur. Arthur, have you completely lost faith in me? Our needs right now are supplies, equipment, and a way out of here. Everything else, including Cole, can wait.
Speaker A
Okay, there's enough of those bastards down there to deal with as it is. Now, come on.
Speaker A
over here. It's steep here. Careful. Hey, who took my tobacco? 5 minutes ago. Someone better own up or I'm going to start.
Speaker A
Maybe I should take the lead on this. They're going to be gunning for you.
Speaker A
They ain't got me yet. No, but the way our luck's been running. Hush. Let's just get down there first.
Speaker A
Down through these trees quick. Hey, anybody? Stay low. Come on, follow me. Get in cover. Arthur, that fell smacked you off something.
Speaker A
So, what are we doing, Dutch? I can take this if you want. Just make the call.
Speaker A
You want to take the lead? Go. I saw him with my own two eyes.
Speaker A
Okay, I'll go first. So why they did you sons of [ __ ] I'm moving up.
Speaker A
Put some fire. You don't know who you're dealing with. [music] his eyes with Arthur.
Speaker A
Cal [music] [music] got more cabin to the right. God damn it. God damn it. There's no hard.
Speaker A
Follow me. Let's go. Still got some of those cabins. I met [music] someone I couldn't kill.
Speaker A
I think that's all of them. Search the bodies. Strip everything we can from them.
Speaker A
You recognize any of them, Dutch? Of course not. Cole doesn't give a damn about his men. All he cares about is numbers. You can shoot a gun, ride a horse, and kill without your heads up, boys. We got more coming in
Speaker A
from the forest. [ __ ] [screaming] There's a lot of them. What do you think, Arthur? We hold ground here or go at them.
Speaker A
God damn. Real men are holding here. All right. Take them all as they come out of the trees.
Speaker A
They're hiding in the trees. The cowards are running away. Good work, boys. Back to the camp. We'll get what we need. Clear out.
Speaker A
Arthur, get over here. Good work, boys. Now, let's tear this place apart. Bill, you go search that wagon there.
Speaker A
Mike, search that building. Arthur, you take that building to the left. All right, man. Quick, find those detonators, explosives, anything you can. Let's go.
Speaker A
We got here. Perfect plan. Here. This looks good. What do you think, Bill? Looks fine.
Speaker A
Smells good. Come on. Did we get everything? Think so, boss. Found this on one of them.
Speaker A
Thank you. This is perfect. Oh yeah. Interesting. This is something about the train they was going to rob a Mr. Leviticus Cornwall.
Speaker A
Mount back up. Let's keep moving. All right, let's get out of here. Proud of you boys. All of you.
Speaker A
Man down. Good work, fellas. Not bad for some starving down and outs. They can pummel us hard as they like, but we will always get back up and fight. That's who we are.
Speaker A
Outlaws for life, fellas. Wait until we have John, Matt, and Charles, and Shawn back riding with us.
Speaker A
And I believe I know they will all be back. Well, you didn't get comb, but this head will hurt him a lot more than any bullet in the head.
Speaker A
Especially when we rob this train, too. Yeah, I guess we'll see about that. Oh, indeed we will.
Speaker A
You know, he'll come after us. Oh, of course he will, just like all the rest.
Speaker A
But we're going to stay a step ahead of them. Let's make sure we always know where they are before they know where we are. We allowed ourselves to get a step behind at Blackwater. That won't happen again.
Speaker A
All right, dig in, fellas. Let's make some ground. Hey, you see that fell? Wasn't he at the camp with Con?
Speaker A
Leave him to me. All right, we're heading back. Just bring him back alive. He could be useful.
Speaker A
Okay, you got it. Yeah. Get away from the [ __ ] No. Get away from me. Don't hurt me.
Speaker A
You're coming with me. You got me mixed up with someone else. Just isn't your day, is it?
Speaker A
Come on. I I'm nobody, mister. [ __ ] [screaming] [ __ ] What's your name, boy?
Speaker A
I don't know. You don't know your name? It's Kieran. Kieran what? Duffy. Kieran. Duffy. Well, I ain't going to lie to you. This is a real bad day for you, Kieran Duffy.
Speaker A
Where are you taking me? Somewhere you ain't going to like. Why? What are you going to do to me?
Speaker A
Some fan you ain't going to like. So, I'd advise you to save your breath for screaming.
Speaker A
No, please. Please mister. Come on, mister. But please, you better shut your mouth, you little [ __ ] or I will shut it for you.
Speaker A
Just let me go, please. I think I'm going to puke. I've only been running with him a couple of months.
Speaker A
Are you trying to test me? Is that it? Cuz I will break every bone in your body.
Speaker A
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay. Not one more godamn word. Am I clear? Okay. Okay.
Speaker A
That's two bones right there. Here we are, you sack of [ __ ] Let's introduce you to the boys.
Speaker A
Don't hurt me, please. Oh, don't worry. They're real nice. You found a little [ __ ] did you?
Speaker A
Yep. I got them. Very good. [snorts] Welcome to your new home. Hope you're real happy here.
Speaker A
You want me to make him talk? Oh, no. Now all we'll get is lies.
Speaker A
Uncle, Mr. Williamson, tie this maggot up someplace safe. We get them hungry first. I got a saying, my friend.
Speaker A
We shoot fellas as need shooting. Save fellas as need saving and feed them is need feeding. We are going to find out what you need.
Speaker A
I can't believe it. An O'Driscoll in my camp. I ain't an O'Driscoll, miss. I hate that fella.
Speaker A
Oh, whatever you say, son. Well done, Arthur. I'm just sorry we missed out on Cole.
Speaker A
Oh, there's time enough for that. Now I got to figure out if we can hit that train.
Speaker A
Okay. [music] [music] [music] Good morning. Morning. How are you feeling? I've been better. Going to be all right.
Speaker A
Sure. [cough] [clears throat] We're going to starve to death up here, Mr. Morgan. We're okay.
Speaker A
We have a few cans of food and a rabbit for what? 10, 12 people.
Speaker A
When I was in the Navy, I I do not wish to hear about what you got up to in the Navy, Mr. Pearson.
Speaker A
We were stranded at sea for 50 days. And you unfortunately survived. When we ran away from Blackwater, I wasn't able to get supplies in. Well, when government agents are hunting you down, sometimes shopping trips need to be cut short. We'll survive. We always
Speaker A
have. If needs be, we can eat you. You're the fattest. I sent Lenny and Bill hunting, and they found nothing.
Speaker A
Lenny's more into book learning than hunting. Bill's a fool. Unless those mountains are full of game that want to read, ain't no wonder they found.
Speaker A
Enough of this. We'll go find something. Come on, Arthur. Wait a second. Hold on.
Speaker A
[snorts] Here. You're going to need something to eat out there. A sorted salted off.
Speaker A
Starving will be preferable. Come on, let's go. You can't go hunting. Look at your hand.
Speaker A
I can't stay here listening to you two. Look, if this game in those hills, I'll find it. And you can kill it.
Speaker A
You need to rest, Charles. You think this is rest? Come along. Here, [cough] you take this. I can't use it and you'll have to.
Speaker A
Oh, you're joking. Use a gun and we'll scare off every animal for miles around.
Speaker A
You're never too old to learn, I imagine. Come on. This way. How are you holding up, Charles? I'm okay, apart from this hand. Stupid mistake.
Speaker A
Still bad? It'll be fine in a day or two. I just can't pull a bow right now.
Speaker A
I sure hope I can. Never really got the hang of it. You'll be fine. [snorts] So, you reckon we're going to find something to kill that ain't no Driscoll?
Speaker A
Huh? There's meat up here for sure. Pearson doesn't know what he's talking about. Now the weather's eased off a bit, they'll be needing to feed.
Speaker A
We'll head up this way. Find some higher ground. Been a wild few days. All right. That ride north from Blackwater, getting stuck in the storm, going out for John, that thing with the O'Driscolls. You've had a lot put on you. I wish I could have done
Speaker A
more. I didn't mean it like that. Just a lot to think back on. I still don't really know what happened on that boat.
Speaker A
Me neither. Well, Javier told me a bit, but it sure aren't good. owe. [music] There's some patches of grass here. This is good.
Speaker A
Come on. Let's try this way. Keep your eyes peeled for movement. The wind's died down, too.
Speaker A
That's good. No wind at all is bad, but if it's too strong, they won't move. Now, sh. Stay quiet.
Speaker A
Hey, stop here a second. I see something. Careful. There's deer been here recently. How can you tell?
Speaker A
How can you not? We'll track them on foot. [music] Quiet as you can. Stay low and move slowly.
Speaker A
You see the tracks? I think so. Maybe not. Focus. Stop running. You're making too much noise.
Speaker A
It's easier in the snow, but once you get your eye in, you'll be able to track nearly as well in grass in the woods.
Speaker A
Wait, look. There they are. Are you ready with that bow? Aim for their head or neck. We want a good, clean kill.
Speaker A
Get good tension on the string before releasing. Just don't overdo it. Good shot. Now let's try to another Got it. Well done. I think that's all we can carry.
Speaker A
Okay, you pick up one, I'll get the other. You sure your hand's okay? It'll be fine once I get it on my shoulder.
Speaker A
Okay, go grab the other one. pretty good. Yeah. Ready to head back when you are? Sure. I just need to finish up here.
Speaker A
Come on then. Let's head back. Nice work, Arthur. Should be enough meat here to keep us all fed for a few days.
Speaker A
You found them. I knew you'd be okay with that, bow. It's easier when they ain't shooting back.
Speaker A
We've seen enough of that. Considering how things were looking a couple of days back.
Speaker A
So, maybe our luck is finally on the turn. Seems to me we should be putting our effort into getting off this mountain now.
Speaker A
Soon people are still weak. And you've seen how snowed in those wagons are. They ain't going nowhere until we get some more thaw.
Speaker A
You're probably right. And even if we do get off here, what that? Still have a big price on our heads.
Speaker A
This is a big country. We'll find somewhere to lie low. Dutch and Jose will have a plan.
Speaker A
You notice how Pearson's [music] had a bottle in his hand ever since we fled Blackwater? We give the camp cook 5 minutes to grab the essentials and go.
Speaker A
And he doesn't even bring a crumb of food. Good that we caught more than one.
Speaker A
We've only been up here a few days and have already picked up two more mouths to feed. One more. We ain't feeding the old Driscoll a damn thing. Except maybe that can of salted off from Pearson was kind enough to give us the girl. She has
Speaker A
a wild look in her eye. Of course, [music] she lost her husband, her home, everything she had. So, what do we do with her?
Speaker A
Well, once we get out of here and we're back on our feet, we'll see. She might have family somewhere. Who knows? Maybe she'll deal with the O'Driscoll for us.
Speaker A
I know who my money's on in that fight. He's weak, but that makes him much more useful. Maybe we can get to them before they get to us.
Speaker A
What is it with your Driscolls? You ain't dealt with them? I suppose. Yeah, we ain't run into them much the last 6 months.
Speaker A
I guess because they've been over this way. I've heard a lot of talk about them.
Speaker A
Well, we've been scrapping over scores with them for years. Big gang. Nasty sons of [ __ ] They're leader. Comb and Dutch go way back. And not in a good way. A proper blood feud. So I heard. Watch
Speaker A
out. Bear up ahead. Let's see if we can find another way. He's got a lot of meat on him. We've got enough here. No need to push our luck.
Speaker A
You must be real hungry. Stay well back. Spring storms like this are the worst for animals that sleep all winter.
Speaker A
[music] Cut up here off the trail. Yeah, good boy. Good job. We ain't ever talked that much, you and me. How long you been with us now? 5, 6 months, something like that. Bet you didn't expect this.
Speaker A
What? Any of this Blackwater mess being up here? Ah, sooner or later a job's going to go wrong. Nature of life.
Speaker A
I just thought you might have moved on by now. You want me to move on?
Speaker A
No. No, not at all. I just I know you could run it alone. No problem.
Speaker A
I did that for a long time. I'm done with it. Always wondering if someone's going to kill you in your sleep.
Speaker A
I still wonder that most nights. I reckon you're okay. This suits me. Sure, I could fall in with another gang, but Dutch, you know, Dutch is different. Oh, yes. Dutch is certainly different. He treats me fair.
Speaker A
Most of you do. And for a fellow with a black father and an Indian mother, that ain't normally the case.
Speaker A
Well, we need you now. More than ever. Good. And how long have you been with these boys? Why ain't you run off? Me?
Speaker A
20 years. Something like that. Since I was a boy. 20 years. Yeah. Taught me to read.
Speaker A
John, too. Taught me a few other things. Even Hosea. Huh. I'm sure. That saved me.
Speaker A
Saved most of us. That's why we need to stick by him through this. He always sees us right.
Speaker A
How's that new horse? He's all right. He'll do for now. I appreciate you letting me take Taima the other night. She's a strong one.
Speaker A
It's been as hard on the horses as on the rest of us. I don't know what Dutch would do if something happened to the count.
Speaker A
Same with Bale and Brown Jack. He's a drunk, miserable bastard, but he loves that horse.
Speaker A
I hope they all make it. I tried to ride the count once. [ __ ] me faster than a bull. Won't take nobody but him.
Speaker A
I'm going to hiss him over here. Brought some food back, boys. Come on. Let's get these over to Pearson.
Speaker A
Thank you for showing me how to use the boat properly. I only showed you a little. Takes a lifetime of practice to master.
Speaker A
Well well well. Just drop it down in here. What a surprise. Find a camp rat loitering around in the kitchen. Is that any way to greet an old friend? I feel like we haven't spoken for days.
Speaker A
I do my utmost to avoid. He loves me. Really? It's his sad way of showing affection. No, it isn't. Now, shoot. Get lost.
Speaker A
Well, see you gents later. See, you got on just fine. Charles is a wonder.
Speaker A
Have a drink, boys. You earned it. Jesus. What is that? Navy rum, sir. It's the only thing. The only thing keeps you saying it does.
Speaker A
Seems to have done a treat on you. You go rest that hand, Charles. We'll be fine in a few days.
Speaker A
Mind helping me with the skinning, Mr. Morgan? It's easier if we do it together. Do I get to skin you?
Speaker A
You're always one with the jokes, aren't you? Come on. This really isn't a job for a man with a burnt hand. I'll see you both later.
Speaker A
You skin that one that you dumped on the floor there. Not too bad, Mr. Morgan. Yeah, they always said you were a butcher. [snorts] You know, you could trade these or sell these in pretty much any town if you're
Speaker A
looking to make a legitimate bit of money. Of course. Right now, I'm just looking to get off this mountain alive.
Speaker A
Well, if you catch anything else, you bring it to me. Sure. Thank you, Mr. Morgan. Heck, Arthur Morgan's first decent bit of hunting after all these years. Yeah. Well, we're on the run now. Everyone's got to do their bit to survive. Just make a good
Speaker A
stew. Folk need it. It's been a tough few days. [music] It's been a bad few weeks, but Dutch being Dutch, he is busy making plans. And Dutch being Dutch, those plans involve robbery and dreams.
Speaker A
I thought you was reading him his last rights. Now I see you're introducing him to your other passion.
Speaker A
I'll mind you to show me some respect, Mr. Morgan. Mind away, Reverend. You're still here then?
Speaker A
I owe you. Yeah, and you'll pay me. But for the moment, you just rest.
Speaker A
Arthur, I think it's time for the train. Want me to come? Of course I do. But look at I was always ugly, Dutch. It's just a scratch.
Speaker A
Don't lie still, son. Low Abigail. Jackie, the boy wanted to see you, John. He's seen me now. Or what's left of me.
Speaker A
What about you? Guess I was hoping to see a corpse. B your time. You'll see plenty of them.
Speaker A
You're a rotten man, John Marson. He is an idiot, Abigail. We all know it.
Speaker A
Now, railway men. Bill, now you ride ahead and set the charge at the water tower just before the tunnel.
Speaker A
Ain't a problem. Why are we doing this? Weather's breaking. We could leave. I I thought we was lying low.
Speaker A
Yeah, come on. What do you want from me, Hosea? I just don't want any more folks to die.
Speaker A
Dutch, we're living, Jose. We're living. Look at me. We're living. Even you. But we need money. Everything we in Blackwater.
Speaker A
You fancy heading back there? No. Listen, Dutch. I ain't trying to undermine you. I just I just want to stick to the plan, which was to lie low, then head back out west. Now, suddenly, we're about to rob a train.
Speaker A
What choice have we got? Leviticus Cornwall's no joke, Duchess. Who is Leviticus Cornwall? He's a big railway magnet, sugar dealer, oil man.
Speaker A
Well, how good for him. Sounds like he has more than enough to share. That gentlemen, it is time to make something of ourselves. Get your horses ready. We have a train to rob.
Speaker A
Everyone ready? All right, let's head out. [music] Okay, gentlemen, listen up all of you.
Speaker A
According to the information so kindly provided to us by the Grizzlies, the train will be coming north from Big Valley. We're going to pick it off after it crosses the border into the Grizzlies.
Speaker A
There's a raised spot there that should give us good vantage. Charles, you'll keep lookout for any outr rididers.
Speaker A
How's that hand, by the way? I'll be fine. Good. I'll take the driver and engineer that run point. Lenny and Javier, you two take the front cars.
Speaker A
Deal with any guards. Arthur and Micah, you head straight for the back. That's what we're after. Mr. Cornwall's private car.
Speaker A
You and me, Morgan. Great. Have you got a problem with that? Not if you keep your head for once.
Speaker A
You worry about yourself, huh? Enough. After Bill blows the tracks, we're going to need to move fast.
Speaker A
Is everyone clear on what they're doing? Yep. Crystal. Yes, boss. Good. Now, come on. That's right.
Speaker A
[music] Heat. [music] Heat. [music] Out of the snow finally. Feels good, doesn't it? But we need to get this done fast. Now it's thawing before anyone gets up here after us.
Speaker A
Oh, look at you boys. See, this is what I call a crew. Micah Bell, Charles Smith, Arthur Morgan, Javiera, and what about young Lenny here? Always the first man on his horse.
Speaker A
Just happy we're back [music] at him, Dutch. Be sure you're ready for this, kid. Of course I'm ready.
Speaker A
Just stay calm. Keep your eyes sharp. That goes for all of you. No mistakes.
Speaker A
Not again. So, we do this, then we go back to Blackwater to collect. How many times you going to ask the same question Ma?
Speaker A
That's a lot of damn money to leave sitting for too long. It would be crazy to go back there now.
Speaker A
The place will be swarming with Pinkertons. We go back when I say we go back. And that's the end of it. Money's safe.
Speaker A
You'll just have to trust me. And if the O'Driscolls are right, there'll be a stack of railroad bonds on this train.
Speaker A
Good money once we work out how to cash them. Now, everyone, shut up and get your mind on the job at hand. Come on.
Speaker A
There's the water tower. Hold up here on the ridge. Coming past. All right. Whoa.
Speaker A
Is Bill there? Yeah. You want to head down, see how he's getting on? Okay.
Speaker A
Yeah. How you getting on? Yeah. I'm okay. You sure? Of course. Can I help a little?
Speaker A
All right. Go ahead and set up the detonator by those rocks over there. Okay, sure.
Speaker A
Now, just unspool the wire and then attach it to said detonator. Okay, this is good. All right, that should do it. You head back up to the others. I got it from here.
Speaker A
Shut up. About time. I have to say I'm rather looking forward to this. Just be ready to move quick and remember the plan, all of you. No mistakes.
Speaker A
What's going on? He says all fine. We'll soon find out. Everything okay? I think so.
Speaker A
Okay, cover your faces. Train should be here. Any minute now, gentlemen. It's time. Good luck all of you. You all know what to do.
Speaker A
Here we go. [ __ ] No. What? God. You have got to be kidding me.
Speaker A
Where did you find that moral? You said it was fine. My fault. Hold on.
Speaker A
You're pathetic. You know that. [clears throat] [music] Here we go. Here we go. Help.
Speaker A
Pull me up. I'm slipping. I got you now. Stop yelling. Arthur, help me. Yeah, you're okay.
Speaker A
Now, let's go slow this thing down. Where's Javier? He fell. The others will get him.
Speaker A
Let's go. We need to stop this train. There's another guard up ahead. You [music] want me to take him?
Speaker A
Dang it. Give me a ride. Let's get a shot on this. Hey, I got a bullet for you.
Speaker A
[music] You all right? Yeah, I'm good. What the hell is Bill doing? He has long [music] enough to set that off.
Speaker A
Well, I hooked up the wire, but we won't mention that. How you doing there?
Speaker A
I'm okay. [music] Got him. I got a clear sound. [music] [ __ ] More guards coming out of that train car.
Speaker A
All these bastards must be guard. We need back, right? Keep pushing on. It's good. Okay.
Speaker A
Yeah, I think so. Good. Damn, he's got an arm. Who is this guy? Good, kid.
Speaker A
I don't know. [music] Get the other boys watch ahead. All right, finish those bunch of [ __ ] I'll kill every last one of you.
Speaker A
Good shooting, kid. I can see now why the old tris boys up here. Partner, get over here, brother.
Speaker A
Are you two all right? Yes. Let's get the money and go. We got some fellas holed up in this last car. A [ __ ] What are you boys planning on doing in there? Listen to me. We don't
Speaker A
want to kill any of you. Any more of you? I give you my word, but trust me, we will.
Speaker A
I work for Leviticus Cor. Come on, boys. We got our orders. Okay, you asked for it.
Speaker A
We opening this door. Four. 3 2 1 Seems our friends have gone death. Wake them up a little.
Speaker A
Mr. Williamson, give Mr. Morgan and Mr. Smith some dynamite. You two boys go blow that door open.
Speaker A
Now, it don't matter too much to us, but you boys in there might want to take a step back.
Speaker A
Seems good enough. Here we go. Now, light the fuse. Unless you got a death wish, I'd step back fellas.
Speaker A
All right, come on. Just walk on out here. We don't want to kill you.
Speaker A
My We just want to rob your balls. Get on up there. Search that train.
Speaker A
Look at this place. It's like a palace. Now I've seen everything. Oh, you two got the safe. I'll search the rest.
Speaker A
Oh, yes. Should be easy as cake. You're just going to stand there, kid. Pour me some brandy, will you? Parch.
Speaker A
Shut up. Me and Arthur did all the work. Yeah, kid did good. Didn't see you rushing to jump on that train.
Speaker A
He's keen. I'll give you that. Okay, let's see if we can get this open.
Speaker A
Come on. Come on. Get in there. There. See, that's how it's done. [ __ ] It's just a pile of papers.
Speaker A
I don't think so. Here, make yourself useful. At least we all know you can read.
Speaker A
Give me those. Now, this looks excellent. Road contracts, invoices, blah blah blah. You got anything?
Speaker A
Not really. Sugar imports from the Spanish West Indies. A lot of sugar. I think I got them. Nice. Well, thank God.
Speaker A
Come on. Let's hurry this along now. What did you find? These bonds. They worth anything?
Speaker A
Oh, sure. Bearer bonds. I think we can probably sell these pretty easily. Well done. Now, would you get rid of all of this? The train?
Speaker A
Yeah. Get it out of here. What about them? What do you think? [clears throat] I don't know.
Speaker A
It's up to you. Kill them. Leave them here. Take them with you on the train.
Speaker A
Just make sure they don't send no folk after us. Okay. See you back at camp. When you get back, we'll be moving on. The rest of you, let's ride.
Speaker A
Okay. Get on the train quick. All of you. Any bright ideas? I kill all three of you. So, behave.
Speaker A
Come on, move. We won't tell a soul. I swear. Said quick. If I hear so much as a footstep from this car, you'll end up like all your friends out here.
Speaker A
Oh, for Lord's sake. Put that book away and go hell. Merry best. So, we getting out of this hell hole?
Speaker A
We're going to try. Weather seems stable and we just robbed a Leviticus Cornwall train.
Speaker A
We got money in our pockets. The worst is behind us, gentlemen. So, the question is where now?
Speaker A
I know this country a little. I told you we should set up camp in Horseshoe Overlook near Valentine. We'll be able to hide out there no problem. As long as we keep our noses clean.
Speaker A
Well, then let's go. Clean noses and everything else. Arthur, you're in that one. Bring Hosea. I know you two like to talk about the good old days and what's gone wrong with old Dutch.
Speaker A
Get up and go do your job. [music] [music] Oh, [singing and music] [singing and music] [music] hey. [singing] [music] Hey.
Speaker A
[singing] [music] [singing] [music] Lenny, Micah, get over here. Yes, boss. You two ride up ahead. Make sure there's no surprises. We've had enough of those.
Speaker A
Me with the boy? Just go. Come on, kid. You can buy me a whiskey.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] Get us out the stream. Got to keep us moving, but calm.
Speaker A
A [ __ ] Okay, let's take a look. You all right back there? Does everything look all right?
Speaker A
Well, what's going on? Ah, I broke the goddamn wheel. All right, let's get it fixed.
Speaker A
You need help? I reckon we can handle it. All right, Charles, you and me hold the thing up while you try and put the wheel back on. Arthur, you still strong enough to hold up a wagon?
Speaker A
Shut up. I'm just saying. Well, say less. Pick the wheel up. Nearly there. See, you ain't so useless after all.
Speaker A
Not quite. Yeah. What do you think? If they wanted trouble, we wouldn't have seen them.
Speaker A
Poor bastards. We really screwed them over down here. Come on, let's not push our luck.
Speaker A
What happened? Well, get in. I'll tell you. [music] Not too far now. Stay on this trail.
Speaker A
We'll follow the river, then cut left inland. So, yes, the Indians in these parts got sold a very raw deal.
Speaker A
This is the heartlands we're going to. Good farming and grazing country. They lost it all. Stolen clean away from them. It was every blade of grass.
Speaker A
killed or herded up to the reservations in the middle of nowhere. And how's that different from anywhere else?
Speaker A
Well, maybe it's not. I just heard son of the army out here was particularly uh unpleasant about it.
Speaker A
Unpleasant? How do you rob and kill people pleasantly? We don't. In spite of it, that just talk. I fear I was perhaps trying to simplify something more complicated for the benefit of our blockheaded driver here.
Speaker A
Hey, don't blame it on me. Never forget this here's a con man, Charles. Born and bred. Just cuz it sounds fancy don't mean he knows a damn thing about what he's talking about.
Speaker A
Yeah. So, what happened to your tribe? I don't even know if I have one. At least not that I can remember.
Speaker A
My father was a colored man. He told me he lived with our people for a while. A number of free men did. But when we were forced to move from our lands, the three of us fled.
Speaker A
I was too young to really remember much. All life I've been on the run.
Speaker A
A couple years later, some soldiers captured my mother, took her somewhere. We never saw her again.
Speaker A
We drifted around. He was a very sad man. And the drink had a mean hold on him. Around 13. I just took off on my own.
Speaker A
That was about the age we found young Arthur here. Maybe a little older. A wilder delinquent. You never did see.
Speaker A
But he learned fast. Not as fast as Marston, apparently. Wait, I don't understand. What's the problem between you two, Arthur?
Speaker A
It's a long story. We still heading the right way? That depends. Are we still heading west in search of fortune and repose in virgin forests as we planned? No. Are we heading in the correct direction on our desperate escape from the law? Eastwards
Speaker A
down the mountains? Yes, I believe so. You know this area a little. I've been through a couple of times. There's a livestock town not too far from here called Valentine. Cowboys, outlaws, working girls. Our kind of place.
Speaker A
Driscolls. Probably them, too. Pinkertons. Let's hope not. [music] And this place we're going. Wait, what's it called again?
Speaker A
Horseshoe Overlook. It's a good place to lie low. It'll do for now. And how low would you think Dutch is really going to lie? It's just, you know, maybe it's me who's changed, not him. But we kept telling
Speaker A
him that fairy job didn't feel right. You and me had a real lead in Blackwater that could have worked out.
Speaker A
Maybe it just isn't like Dutch to lose his head like that. Things go wrong sometimes.
Speaker A
People die. It's the way it is. Always has been. me or you Dutch. We've all been in this line of work a long time and we're still here. So, I figure we must have got it right a hell of a lot
Speaker A
more than we got it wrong. What are you working on there anyway? Just some grow and jens. Good for the health. Better than that stuff you buy in the store. Yeah, you can have all this. I'm at the point where I can do it
Speaker A
with my eyes closed. Oh, okay. Thank you. [music] There you are, brother. Head in there.
Speaker A
Follow the track for a bit. Thanks. Hey, slow up. I'll jump on. Here we are, gentlemen. Home sweet home.
Speaker A
You were wrong, Josea. This place is perfect. I hope so. Gentlemen, we have survived for now. Now it is time to prosper.
Speaker A
Arthur and I were about to prosper in Blackwater. We were on to something big.
Speaker A
Then Micah got you all excited about that ferry and here we are. We have all made mistakes over the years, Hosea. Every last one of us. But I kept us together. kept us alive, kept the nooes off our neck.
Speaker A
I guess I'm just worried. I ain't got that long, Dutch. I I want folks safe before I go.
Speaker A
Me, too. And now we are stuck east of the Grizzlies and out of money and a long way from our dream of virgin land in the west.
Speaker A
I know, my brother, but we are safe. We make a bit of money here. Then we move again, head out around them, be west of Uncle Sam in a few months, buy some land. I hope so.
Speaker A
Would you just look around you? This world has its consolations. Gentlemen, I'm going to head into the local town and uh, you know, see if I can strike up a little business.
Speaker A
Of course, hairstra. I prefer robin banks to usery. Seems more dignified somehow. Now everyone put your tools down for a moment. Come on, gather around quickly. Now I know that things have been tough, but we are safe now and
Speaker A
we are far too poor. So it is time for everyone to get to work.
Speaker A
Get to work, but stay out of trouble. Remember, we are itinerant workers laid off when they shut down our factory to the north. Now get out there and see what you can find. Uncle Reverend Swanson, no more passengers. [laughter]
Speaker A
It is time for everyone to earn their keep. There is a town a little way down the track name of Valentine. Livestock town. All mud and morons if I remember right. That seems a decent place to start.
Speaker A
And uh we need food. Real food. That means every day one of you. And remember, whatever it is that you find, the camp gets its slice.
Speaker A
Now, be sensible out there. Now, the girls have your tent ready, Mr. Morgan. Come with me. You two will be ready shortly. We put you over here.
Speaker A
I'm sure everything will be fine, Miss Grimshaw. It should be. Most your stuff from Blackwater got saved.
Speaker A
Everything apart from my money. Oh, don't remind me. Well, we can always make more money.
Speaker A
We're going to have to Miss Jackson. I've seen [ __ ] with more common sense than you. Do it properly.
Speaker A
[music] [music] Got off the mountain, rode east into some pretty enough country called the H Heartlands.
Speaker A
Ain't been this far east in many a year. Dutch seems a little better. His eyes are sparkling once more, and I can see he's thinking a little clearer. I think we all feel a little happier in spite of black water and that whole
Speaker A
mess. Arthur, Jose, quite a day. Let's hope so. There's a bunch of the boys already in Valentine. Bill, Charles, and Javier. And Swanson found something down at the train station by the lake, apparently. And Strauss came back with that creepy little smile on
Speaker A
his face. I'm sure there's a whole list of unfortunates he's forced money upon. [laughter] Thank you. And you?
Speaker A
I'm going to read a book. Hi, Doug. [cheering] Oh, Arthur, my boy. My dear boy.
Speaker A
What's going on? Nothing. Nothing at all. For the first time in weeks, nothing. We're free.
Speaker A
We're free to plan our own futures once more. I hope so. Dutch, you kept the faith, Arthur.
Speaker A
You always kept it. And I ain't losing it now. You here, Reverend. You in here?
Speaker A
Come on. What's the hold of? Mr. Borggan, I took your advice, sir. I took your advice.
Speaker A
Then your god has finally deserted you. What you talking about? I took your advice, sir. I have removed myself from Morpheus's embrace. No more shall I sink, sir. I am free. I am free.
Speaker A
You don't seem free, friend. You seem drunk. Sit down, Reverend. We ain't finished. You ain't finished. Look at him. He's finished.
Speaker A
None of us forced liquor down his throat, friend. I just want him to play now. Firstly, we ain't friends. Don't make no mistake on that subject. Now, secondly, he can't hardly see, let alone reason. Now, reasoning ain't never been
Speaker A
one of my strong points neither, but see and I do just fine. You want to step outside or do a business here?
Speaker A
I just want them to finish the game. Why can't we all just get along? These are good men, Arthur. They're children of God. They are children of God.
Speaker A
How's about you playing his place, huh? That seems fair. Fair? Sure. You want a game?
Speaker A
Sure, I'll play a few hands. Well, sit yourself down then. [sighs] I'm Luther. This is Marvin.
Speaker A
Fortunate for you both. We're being gentlemen about this. [clears throat] Same goes for you.
Speaker A
So, how you two know each other anyway? Don't seem like the likeliest of friends, if you don't mind me saying.
Speaker A
We go a long way back. And now you're his chaperon. I guess it's something like that. Can we play?
Speaker A
He can't be no real clergyman. He committed about five cardinal sins just in that chair you're sitting in.
Speaker A
I think he used to be. He's drifted a little in recent years. Life is a challenge to all of us.
Speaker A
Okay, let's do this. Can you imagine him at the pulpit? If he could stand up on the fourth day, he turned water into whiskey. And I don't remember much after that. [laughter] Okay. He's a decent fellow going through
Speaker A
a bad time. Disrespect him again and you'll find yourself in a bad time, too.
Speaker A
All right. All right. Just trying to have a little fun here. It is a game after all, mister.
Speaker A
There you go. Hardly a big finale for me. Big pile of nothing. Okay. Come on. Damn it. Yeah.
Speaker A
Now that's what I'm talking about. Here we go. Are you kidding me? Gentlemen, this is getting too rich for me.
Speaker A
Sit down. Oh, I'm done, friend. It's been a real education. Come on, Rip. Where is he? Where'd he go?
Speaker A
Who? The Reverend. wear it. [sighs] Excuse me, gentlemen. Reverend Reverend Swanson, where'd you go?
Speaker A
Excuse me. I'm sorry. You You see a drunken idiot, a priest wandering about? Sure. We saw him, smelled him, and avoided him. [laughter] He went that way, I think. Thanks.
Speaker A
Yeah, I look kind of crazy, mister. Hey, calm down. What the hell did you just say?
Speaker A
Get your hands off him. Say a word. You'll keep You stay out of it. Get your hands off him now, you son of a [ __ ] What the hell is your problem?
Speaker A
He's with me. You ain't much of [groaning] I'll kill you both. Come on. You're going down for [groaning] pair of damn fools.
Speaker A
You bastard. [groaning] Waste of my time. Oh my god. Killed him. I'm going to keep the law on you.
Speaker A
Hey, you get back here. You better stop right there. Stay away from me. You son of a [ __ ] Stop or I'll kill you. I swear.
Speaker A
I said stop. Damn it. Okay. Okay. Please don't hurt me. You tell anyone what you saw back there, you're a dead man. You understand me?
Speaker A
Yep. I I won't tell us so. I promise. Good. Get the hell out of here.
Speaker A
It's the last thing I needed. Reverend, get off the damn tracks. Swanson, come on. A friend. It's just a simple mistake. You can still be saved.
Speaker A
What have you done with your foot? It appears to like this place. And what's staying out of here? Twist your leg, you drunken bastard. Get it. Come on.
Speaker A
[groaning] [sighs] Thank you, sir. Oh, [groaning] no you [screaming] don't. What the hell is wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with you [screaming] throwing me off a bridge like that?
Speaker A
There was a godamn train, you crazy bastard. Have I been bad again, Mr. Morgan?
Speaker A
I'm sorry. A [laughter] I wish I was different. Let's get you home. Home? Hey, that's a wonderful idea.
Speaker A
I could have tea with Margaret. Margaret? Who's Margaret? What? A flush of diamonds. Amen.
Speaker A
Close the drinks. What are you mumbling about now? Yeah. [groaning] Yep. I was wondering when he'd show up.
Speaker A
Hi uncle. You better sleep your way to salvation, my friend. What happened? Just the usual.
Speaker A
Poor bastard. Exactly. Well, thank you, Mr. Morgan. I'll keep an eye on him. He was lucky this time.
Speaker A
Real lucky. How you feeling? Stronger for sure. They're not strong enough to work, Mr. Morgan.
Speaker A
Ow. Careful not to work yourself to death there uncle. I was thinking. Yeah. Does it pay well?
Speaker A
Eventually. So, while the rest of us are busy stealing, killing, lying, fighting to try to survive. You get to think all day.
Speaker A
Yeah. It's a strange world we live in. Arthur Morgan. Hey, you want to head into town? See if we can find anything out.
Speaker A
Sure. I got some errands to run. Great. Go check the horses are ready. You going to take the old man into town?
Speaker A
Could take us, too? Well, what do you got planned? Nothing. We'll find something for y'all to do. We always do. We're bored out of our minds. Been cooped up here for two weeks now. Karen's about ready to murder
Speaker A
Grimshaw. [laughter] Well, can Miss Grimshaw spare you? Can Miss Grimshaw spare you? What's happened to you, Arthur? Three young, healthy women want you to take them a robin. You're worried about house chores. Let's go.
Speaker A
Fair enough. You got me. Come on then. [laughter] I can't believe we're going to see civilization. Feels like weeks since we did.
Speaker A
Yeah, Valentine. [laughter] Very embodiment of civilization. You ladies are going to love it. Okay, then let's go.
Speaker A
All right. out through the trees here. Then take a left Ladies, sing us a song.
Speaker A
[screaming] I got a girl in Fairyville. Can't be screwed cuz she's too damn ill. So I don't go down there.
Speaker A
I had a girl in Valentine to drink that fancy wine and her hat. I got a girl in her cuz she won't stay still and won't take less than $7.
Speaker A
I got a girl in me. I got a girl across the head like a man. I got a girl and she's got a thing.
Speaker A
It's my diamond ring. I got a girl in Valentine likes to drink that fancy wine.
Speaker A
Two feet tall it all. Look at that co. He's all over the place. Damn it. Oh [ __ ] The horses.
Speaker A
Damn horses. Is one of you going to get that fella's horse? Well, I got lago. It's very serious.
Speaker A
All right, I'll see what's going on. Lombago. Really? It looks pretty smooth. Whoa. Easy, easy. It's okay.
Speaker A
That is a gentleman. Easy. You're okay. Whoa. Listen, Arthur. You'll be all right. Yeah, there you got it. Well done, Arthur.
Speaker A
Here. Here you go. You're a gentleman, sir. A gentleman. No, not really. I was just trying to impress the man.
Speaker A
Let's go to Valentine. You're turning into a regular old fairy godmother there, Arthur. What's that supposed to mean?
Speaker A
It means you got a heart. A small one perhaps hidden deep inside, but a real one. And you haven't, your repulsive old lizard.
Speaker A
Blizzards have hearts. Well, Arthur, I'm proud of you. To be honest, you lot hadn't been here, I probably would have robbed him.
Speaker A
Well, you did. Woo! Smell those sheep. [laughter] Or is that uncle? Oh, very funny.
Speaker A
This looks like a decent little town. Other people. Finally. Look at all that snow on the mountains. Sure don't want to be back up there.
Speaker A
You think we should have asked Molly to come with us? Oh no, Miss O'Shea is far too high and mighty now for the likes of us or to do any real work. She's a society lady now.
Speaker A
Okay, take a good look around, ladies. See what we got here. Go left here down the main street.
Speaker A
Terra is always on the right. Sure, you can pick up some bounties there, Arthur.
Speaker A
Heaven forbid you put your head on the line. Yeah, that's a young man's game.
Speaker A
Oo yes, we can get up to some mischief here. All right, just remember, keep a low profile.
Speaker A
Will you remember that though, Arthur? Probably not. Let's park up down the end there near the stables.
Speaker A
Come on. What's this about? That's it. Now I've seen everything. All right, here we are. Just like I said, the cultural center of civilization. [laughter] Man at his finest. Uncle, what are we doing?
Speaker A
Well, we're going to do what any self-respected maniac does. Put the women to work.
Speaker A
With pleasure. We'll start at the salute. Okay. Just stay out of trouble. Don't get yourselves noticed.
Speaker A
Right. I need to get something from the stores. Okay. Well, we'll see you at the general store when you're done.
Speaker A
Come on, ladies. Imagine we're in Paris. Imagine Paris and Valley. So that's how you see yourself, is it? A maniac. Well, in my youth, I used to be known as the oneot kid.
Speaker A
Okay, I'm not going to ask why. You are a sad man, Arthur Morgan, but I know you love me desperately.
Speaker A
You're my favorite parasite. No, ringorm is my favorite parasite. You're my second favorite parasite. Very funny.
Speaker A
I lied. Ringworm, then rats with the plague, then you shut up. This is the place, huh? Come on.
Speaker A
Hey, so what do you need? Hell, a drop of whiskey for a start. You know, something to pass the time while we're waiting on the women.
Speaker A
Always thinking ahead, ain't you? You're looking a bit tired there, Arthur. Why don't you pick up some coffee while we're here?
Speaker A
Let me know if you have any questions, fellas. Whisy's on the top shelf nearest the door.
Speaker A
Okay, if you're done, I'll meet you outside. I won't be too long. Here's to your good health, my sir.
Speaker A
[laughter] [sighs] It's a funny world. You know, this time in my career, I pictured myself being married to an Ays.
Speaker A
Gentlemen, I think I got something good. What? What? I snuck into this fancy house. Acted like a servant girl. Usually works.
Speaker A
Someone was saying her sister was taking a trip from New York or someplace. Train full of rich tourists heading to Sandin and then cruising off to Brazil.
Speaker A
Okay. A train laden with baggage and passing through a bit of deserted country at night as to get to the docks in time for the tides in some place called Scarlet Meadows.
Speaker A
Yeah, I know it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's right out in their new handover, right?
Speaker A
It's real quiet out there. Sounds good. Where's Tilly and Karen? I think at the hotel they were picking up some drunken fellas that they was going to rob.
Speaker A
Why? It seemed easy. They have been gone for quite a while. I guess I'll go see if there's any trouble.
Speaker A
There's Tilly over there. That does not look ideal. Excuse me. Get your hands off me. You thought I wouldn't find you, Tilly.
Speaker A
You can go kiss a damn snake for all I care. Get off me, boys.
Speaker A
Get your hands off her, friend. Who are you? A friend of mine. Get off her.
Speaker A
Or what exactly? You want to find out? You're making a big mistake, Tilly Jackson.
Speaker A
Just get lost. I ain't doing this with you. Go wait with Uncle and Mary Beth.
Speaker A
They're across the street. Okay. Thanks, Arthur. Uncle, look after her. I'mma go see about Karen in the hotel.
Speaker A
Woman forgot to add all. Can I help you, sir? Try and help people. I do. I'm looking for a girl who came in here earlier with a drunk feller.
Speaker A
Mid20s, blonde. You'd remember her. Yeah, they're in 2B upstairs. Are you a friend of his?
Speaker A
A friend of hers. No trouble now, please. for me. I'm getting what I paid for.
Speaker A
Hey, who are you? A friend of hers. Get out of here, buddy. I paid.
Speaker A
Ain't paid a hitter, you goddamn animal. Come here. I paid for nothing. Thank you.
Speaker A
What the hell are you doing here? Trying to play him. Not very well. You okay?
Speaker A
Fine. You sure? Yeah. Nothing nothing to worry about. Just men. But stupid bastard. Stupid bastard was boasting about the bank.
Speaker A
The bank? Sure. I know small town banks are usually a waste of time, but this a livestock town. There's lots of cash sometimes.
Speaker A
Okay. Keep investigating. I will. Okay. there. After you. Thank you, Arthur. I don't much like being saved, but when I have to be.
Speaker A
I understand. You okay? Sure. He only punched me. Arthur punched him a lot harder. Yeah.
Speaker A
All right then. Hey, who's that guy over there looking at us? Weren't you in Blackwater a few weeks back? Me? No, sir. Ain't from there.
Speaker A
Oh, you were? I definitely saw you with a bunch of fellas. Me? No. Impossible. Listen, buddy. Come here for a minute.
Speaker A
I saw you. Come here. Come get you. Come on. I don't like this. Me neither. Go get the girls home. I'm going to go have a word with our friend.
Speaker A
Be careful, Arthur. Just a word. Just borrowing it. You stay away from me. Get back here right now.
Speaker A
This ain't happening. Go to hell. Mr. Police, I'm sorry. We need to talk, pal.
Speaker A
[screaming] You have to help me. Help someone. Why are you telling lies about me?
Speaker A
No. No. I I got it wrong, partner. I got it very wrong. Now, please help me up.
Speaker A
[panting] I ain't never been in Blackwater. Then why are you chasing me? [snorts and laughter] I've got an unfortunate face.
Speaker A
Yes. Yes. Me, too. [laughter] Now, please pull me up. Please. I made. All right. Come on.
Speaker A
You okay, partner? No. No, I am not. [panting] I'm a mess. Well, you ain't dead.
Speaker A
There is that. Jimmy Brooks. I think it's best for both of us if we pretend this never happened.
Speaker A
Well, I agree. You saved my life. You're a good man. And I uh Here, you want a pen? It's one of them steel ones.
Speaker A
Oh, that's very kind of you. But I'm not a good man, Jimmy Brooks. Not usually.
Speaker A
You see, I wasn't Blackwater. I kill people. And maybe I should have killed you.
Speaker A
Should I have killed you, Jimmy Brooks? I never saw you. Not Not now. Not Not never. I think we have an understanding.
Speaker A
Of course we do. Jimmy Brooks, I will remember that. I've got a good memory.
Speaker A
I haven't. I haven't. Not Not one lick, not one sense in this year old mind.
Speaker A
Come on. Come on. You have a nice day now sir. Yeah. All right. There we go.
Speaker A
Howdy. Oh, Arthur. Arthur, come here. Come here. Come over here. I want you to meet our friends.
Speaker A
Pleased to meet you. Well, ain't you just a toughest tick mountain man. Oh, you be quiet, Anastasia. Anyone can tell this one is a [ __ ] cat.
Speaker A
Exactly. Yes, he's a [ __ ] cat. Ain't that so, Werther? Whatever you say. How much you cost anyway?
Speaker A
Ain't [music] that a nice way to talk to a lady? Oh, I didn't know I was talking to a lady.
Speaker A
Excuse me. Well, I must say you got a fine way with the women, amigo.
Speaker A
Yeah, regular dandy in a charmer. Where's Bill? Oh, man. I dread to think about it.
Speaker A
Hey, hey, hey. There he is. Watch where you're going. Take it easy. You about to kiss that guy. Oh, and we have [screaming] you bastard. Oh, come on. We can handle these moves.
Speaker A
Stop dancing around. I'll burn this whole town if I have them. Think you're tough, do you?
Speaker A
[groaning] Please stop. You fellas are a joke. Come on. Let me get you. What the hell is going on down here?
Speaker A
No, Tommy. Stay out of this. Come here, you little creaser. That's it. I'm through with you.
Speaker A
You hit like a son of a [ __ ] [groaning] That's it. I'm here to use some help, Morgan.
Speaker A
Hey, you want some too, huh? Come on, pretty boy. Pretty boy. You're kidding me. Ready, boy?
Speaker A
[groaning] Yeah, you got it. Now, come on. How we doing, Valentine? [music] You okay?
Speaker A
Yeah, I got this son of a [ __ ] [music] Put this place in the woods.
Speaker A
Yeah. Don't go easy on him. All right. [music] Come on. Come on, Arthur. Got drinks waiting.
Speaker A
[music] [music] Hey, come on. Stop that. Stop. Stop. [crying] Please. Please. I beg you. Stop. Come, sir. You won the fight already. Surely that's enough.
Speaker A
What business is any of yours? No business. No [clears throat] business, sir. But please, I beg you.
Speaker A
It's going to be all right. Making new friends again. I see. Arthur, look who we found sniffing about.
Speaker A
Jose Trrellani. The very same. Well, I thought you'd gone to New York. And miss all this glamour. You must be joking.
Speaker A
How are you? Well, quite well indeed. I went to Blackwater looking for you gentlemen. You're not very popular there, it seems.
Speaker A
Ah, Javier and Charles, I've missed you. And Bill looking as well as can be.
Speaker A
Gentlemen, always a pleasure. You're right. We ain't too popular in Blackwater. We left a lot of money there. And young Sha, it seems.
Speaker A
Shawn, you found him? Yes, I have. He's being held by some bounty hunters trying to see how much money the government will pay them. I know he's in Blackwater, but there's talk of them moving.
Speaker A
Well, if we step foot in Blackwater, well, then we're dead men for sure. There'll be Pinkertons all over the place, but if he's alive, we got to try.
Speaker A
Yeah, of course. It's you they want, Dutch. Always is. Charles, go find out what you can carefully. Josiah, take Javier.
Speaker A
Arthur, go get yourself cleaned up. Join them when you're ready. What about me? Well, exactly. What about you?
Speaker A
What does that mean? Oh, Bill, come on. [groaning] Hey, Arthur. Hey there, Josea. You want to go hunting?
Speaker A
What are you hunting? An elephant? I wish. No, I saw a huge bear. One of the biggest I ever saw. I reckon nearly 1,000 lb.
Speaker A
My god. But you need me to come with you. Of course. Let's go. Where are we heading exactly?
Speaker A
Up near the Dakota River. Might take a day or two. I could do with a break from this place.
Speaker A
Oh, me too. It's been a rough couple of weeks. You need anything? I don't think so. I got all I need.
Speaker A
Let's go then. So, you still ain't replaced Bisca? Nah, I miss her. She was quite a horse. This one's okay, but ain't no boat to see.
Speaker A
I've been meaning to offload this big Shire horse for a while now. Unruly bastard. Where'd you get him?
Speaker A
Some big loudmouth bastard tried to rob me. Was out riding, so I Well, you know how it is.
Speaker A
I see. Let's take him to Valentine. It's on the way. Sort of. There's a decent dealer there. We'll unload him. You could buy yourself a new horse. Put your saddle on them. Let's get going.
Speaker A
Okay. Well, I do kind of like this horse. There's nothing wrong with two horses, and the stables always have the best ones.
Speaker A
Well, I guess you're right. Just to get this adjusted, boy. Okay, see if you can get your leg over that brute.
Speaker A
Easy, big fella. All right, let's head into town. No bar fights, please. I heard about that.
Speaker A
I'll do my best. We're heading out. Might be gone a couple of days. They got a good range of horse tack at the Valentine stables. Some beautiful saddles. I used to have a real nice one.
Speaker A
Yeah. What happened to that? Got stolen outside that saloon in Deer Creek. Ah, I remember now. Just about that turned into a long day.
Speaker A
Yes. Remember Mac went crazy, threatened to kill the whole town and Davey was passed out so cold we left him there, came back in the next day and he woke up, started right back drinking again.
Speaker A
Uh, I miss those boys. Jenny, too. She had some spark, that girl. It must be pretty hard on Lenny.
Speaker A
You could tell he was sweet on her. Well, Lenny and Jenny could never have worked. That's like Arthur and Martha or Bill and Phil.
Speaker A
[laughter] Yeah, maybe you're right. Just feel a bit like our luck died with them, too.
Speaker A
Nonsense. We'll be all right. Just need some money to get back on our feet.
Speaker A
I hope so. You found a way to offload those Cornwall bars yet? Not yet. They're still very hot.
Speaker A
Need to be done, right? I have a couple of leads I'm looking into. Don't let that big bastard get the better of you there, Arthur.
Speaker A
He's all right. Boy, morning friend. He up now. Sorry, boy. Stables are just up ahead.
Speaker A
You got a problem? All right. Clear. Go sell that big brute. Howdy. Buy yourself a horse.
Speaker A
Okay. I'm going off to the general store. Get a few things to lure that bear out with.
Speaker A
Meet you back here in a bit. Hey, how can I help you? I'm in the market for a new horse.
Speaker A
Something strong and fast. Well, you're in the right place. I got some beauties in at the moment.
Speaker A
Yeah. And what about this one here? Yeah. You looking to sell? I sure. You got papers?
Speaker A
No. No papers. Well, of course that's going to affect what I can pay, but your luck's in. I got a fella who's been looking for a decent workhorse like this for a while. He'll pay a good price.
Speaker A
Otherwise, I can always stable them here for you. Here, take a look. All right, partner. You got yourself a deal and a fine new horse.
Speaker A
I hope so. Well, I don't sell anything other than good animals. You have my word on that.
Speaker A
All right, let's see. Here are your papers and on me a new grooming brush and some treats.
Speaker A
[laughter] Appreciate it. Yeah. All right, you you treat this fell well. I know he's going to look after you just fine.
Speaker A
Looks like a nice animal you got there. You happy? Guess we'll see. Hold. All right, let's get going. We got quite a ride ahead of us.
Speaker A
Lead the way. So, what's this lake we're heading for? It's called Ora Run up in the mountains east of Cumberland Falls. I just hope I can remember how to get there.
Speaker A
Back into the mountains. I sure didn't figure on that. But this time we're doing the chasing.
Speaker A
So, how are things with you and John? Fine. Ain't it about time you let it go now?
Speaker A
It was a year, Jose. He ditched us for a goddamn year. I've spoken to him many times. He knows he did wrong. He just wants to put it behind him.
Speaker A
I'm sure he does. Running off on that kid is one thing, but there's a code. He knows that he ain't Trilone.
Speaker A
Dutch and you pretty much raised him. I know, but it's done. Has been for a while now.
Speaker A
Nobody else would have been welcomed back that easy after that long. And you know it.
Speaker A
Maybe. But please don't you put that to the test. I never would. Okay, I think we need to head right up here.
Speaker A
Yes, I remember this place. Moonstone Pond. We're going the right way. That's the lake there. Good. We made it.
Speaker A
Let's loop around the other side. I should really be heading back over the Great Plains. See about Shawn. It's bounty hunters who've got him.
Speaker A
So Trilone says Javier and Charles have gone with him to scope it out. Pretty dangerous going anywhere near Blackwater.
Speaker A
Right. But if he's alive, we got to try. Of course. Look there. Rabbits. Maybe we should catch one to cook.
Speaker A
Sure. Try and shoot one. Got one. I ain't picking it up. It's your kill.
Speaker A
Good job. All right, it's getting late. Reck, we should camp here. Sure. Well, then you get us set up.
Speaker A
I'm famished. Cook that rabbit then. They're delicious on an open fire like this. Fine by me.
Speaker A
Okay. You want some of this? No, I'm fine. I don't like eating this late.
Speaker A
Okay, they're all there. All right. Well, we better get some rest. I want to be up at first light to find this monster.
Speaker A
He better be worth all this drama. [music] Morning, Arthur. You ready? Well, give me a minute.
Speaker A
Coffee? Sure. There you go. [sighs] So, what's your plan? Well, we'll see if we can track him, but we might need to lay bait to draw them out. Bears like fish obviously, but they also have a sweet tooth. A lot of fellas
Speaker A
bait then shoot from the trees, but I prefer to hunt on the ground. More dangerous, but we'll have a much better chance of getting a good shot in. And if he bolts, we can start right off after him. Can you mix up this bait for me
Speaker A
while I finish packing this up? Fish, berries. I tie it up in that rag when you're done.
Speaker A
I hope you know what you're talking about. I grew up in the mountains, Arthur.
Speaker A
I was virtually weaned on bare meat. Okay, I think I got this done. Good. Pack up and we'll get going.
Speaker A
What's the hold up? Okay, let's go. Boy, we'll try our luck down by the water.
Speaker A
That's where I saw him last. Okay. How's that horse treating you? So far so good.
Speaker A
You know, I was in this area with Bessie years ago. Really? I didn't know that. I imagine you still miss her every day.
Speaker A
Did you two ever think about getting out of the light? Yeah, we did briefly. You don't remember? Guess you were still young. Didn't last long. I drifted back into it. [snorts] She understood. She knew what I was. I
Speaker A
remember you not being around for a while, but well, things were looser back then.
Speaker A
Truth is, there's never really any getting out and staying in. It's hard. You know that. But Bessie and I made it work. Why you thinking about getting out?
Speaker A
Me? No, of course not. Listen, if Dutch's grand plans work and we can make enough money to go someplace new, really new, maybe we can all have a new start. Anyway, for now, let's try and chase ourselves a bear, shall we?
Speaker A
Let's look by the water here. See if he's been fishing again recently. Look for tracks, dong, bones, any sign of him.
Speaker A
Oh, there's some paw marks here, Hosea. They sure look big enough. Good. Let's hope it's him.
Speaker A
Which way he went? This way. [music] Tracks. Go into those trees. Wait a minute. There's something on the ground here. Halfeaten fish here. Must have been left by our friend, I reckon.
Speaker A
Come on. See if there's anything else. [music] Something else on the ground. Just here.
Speaker A
Air [ __ ] here. Watch your step. Looks real fresh. Reckon he's got to be close.
Speaker A
Let's keep going. Damn it. Looks like the trail ends here. We lost him for now.
Speaker A
A little optimism, Arthur. Well, what do you think? I think we split up in each look.
Speaker A
Either that or we could place bait here. That could work. Which you think? Let's bait here.
Speaker A
Fine by me. Let's leave the bag over there. By those boulders up ahead. Looks like a good spot for it.
Speaker A
Now we 1,000 lbs, you say? More or less. Big scar down his face. Hey, did that bait look okay to you?
Speaker A
I think so. You're the expert. Ready with your gun there? I'm good. You okay? You seem nervous.
Speaker A
So do you. I'm fine. Let's just take a look at that bait. Sure. Come on.
Speaker A
We only just said it, Jose. I know, but we need to do this right.
Speaker A
Give me a hand here. Got your knife. Easy. No. It's too close over here. Arthur.
Speaker A
You're fine, old man. Of course I'm fine. It's It's nothing. Nothing at all. Thank you.
Speaker A
I think that was fun. You know what, Arthur Morgan? I'm a little old and beaten up to be after the biggest game. You can have this.
Speaker A
What is it? It's a map. A man in a bar gave it to me. Well, I stole it from him, but that's another story. He said it it told him where to find some real big animals.
Speaker A
Thank you. It's a pleasure. You saved my life, Arthur. I think I'm going back to camp to lick my wounds.
Speaker A
You coming or you going to track that monster? Well, I'm coming with you. Let's get going then.
Speaker A
[music] Let's see if Dutch gives us any crap about disappearing like that. I don't need another we got to be out there making money speech.
Speaker A
We were just out scoping a lead. He doesn't need to know it was a big furry one. Well, thanks, Arthur. I probably owe you one.
Speaker A
Don't worry about it. I need to head out to Emerald Ranch soon. Look into something.
Speaker A
See you later. Put in a good word. Would you speak? Don't cry, boy. Speak about your gang.
Speaker A
[laughter] I can't. Whoa. Hold your horses there. It seems the uh cat has got our friend here's tongue. I was thinking Mr. Williamson could have a word.
Speaker A
You ready to talk, boy? I told you, mister. I told Ollie he is. I don't know nothing. Okay. They ain't no friends of mine. I just been ridden with him for a while.
Speaker A
Oh [ __ ] You see, we heard that part. So, how about you tell the truth?
Speaker A
That's what you want me to do. Hurt him. So, the next time he opens his mouth, it is to tell us what is going on.
Speaker A
Who am I kidding? One Odriscoll's boys couldn't open his mouth, but he'd tell a lie.
Speaker A
Screw it. Let's just have some fun. Gel him. Oh, yeah. What's he doing? Where's he going?
Speaker A
Oh, [screaming] don't worry. You're only balls, boy. Just going to cause you trouble. You know, in Imperial Rome, Unix was among the happiest and most loyal of Cordier.
Speaker A
No, you're kidding me, right? Of course. You sick bastards. No. What do you want from me?
Speaker A
Well, you are going to talk. The only question is now or after we got these little fellas off.
Speaker A
Okay. Okay. Listen, I know where O'Driscoll was holed up. And you're right. He don't like you any more than you like him. He's at Six Point Cabin.
Speaker A
I'll take you there. Serious. I don't like him. I mean, I like him even less than I like you. No offense.
Speaker A
None. Take him. Okay then, partner. Huh? Why don't you take a few of us up there right now? I got this, Dutch. Should be fun. All right, you come on. Let's go.
Speaker A
[laughter] You killed him. Let's both hope you ain't trying to trick us, O'Driscoll. I ain't no ODriscoll.
Speaker A
Are you sure as [ __ ] was? John, Bill, come here. We got a social call needs making. Where are we heading?
Speaker A
Uh, we're up into the hills behind Valentine. Uh, well, I'll show you. John, you take this little rattlesnake with you. Any nonsense, kill him.
Speaker A
Sure. Going to pay your buddies our respects. He taking us to Cole? That's what he says.
Speaker A
Come on. I'm taking you to him. Look, I I'll give you more directions when we're close, but if I know where [music] we are, it's up past Valentine.
Speaker A
All right, I'll leave. Sharing saddle with an old Driscoll. Who'd have thought? How many times I got to say [music] I ain't an O'Driscoll.
Speaker A
You sure look like one. And you smell like God damn, you smell like one, too.
Speaker A
I smell like horse [ __ ] That's right. Boy, are you high. Morgan, you got throwing knives in your saddle bag. Dud said that you might I was asked to give them and I'm doing you the further courtesy of telling you
Speaker A
about it. Next time you want to give me something, how about you give it to me instead of hiding it somewhere, hoping the opportunity comes up to mention it. Last goddamn favor I do you.
Speaker A
Hey. Hey. If If I got my bearings, it's over here. Yeah. I know this country. Take this track up through the rocks.
Speaker A
How you holding up, John? Fine. Still ain't right, but I'm fine. You damn well should be after all that bed rest.
Speaker A
Hey, all right. Abigail wouldn't let me up. You know her, she won't be reasoned with.
Speaker A
Well, when you was having a failure of reason, hiding behind your woman, we were getting shot at. And I'd do the same for you if you was in a bad way.
Speaker A
I hope so, but I fear you don't know how to help anyone except in yourself. You see, O'Driscoll, if this is how he treats his friends, imagine what he does to his enemies.
Speaker A
I got an inkling of what you all do to your enemies when you put those gilding tongs to my parts.
Speaker A
Bill, you still got those tongs? I got a knife. Won't be so clean, but it'll do the job.
Speaker A
Keep that in your mind, young fell. Right at the forefront of it. I swear, I promise I am taking you to Comb as best as I can. You'll see. I I'll make good.
Speaker A
And now we go left. The road will take us up and round. Those are the hills. Head for them.
Speaker A
Save your horses. We got to climb, boys. You know, you all ain't that different from the O'Driscolls.
Speaker A
What did you just say? I've been watching you all these weeks. And uh you've been tied to a tree. You don't know nothing about this gang.
Speaker A
Yeah, well, I I'd say you don't know much about the O'Driscolls. But maybe I know more about you than you know about them. And I know all about them. So tell us then, how are we like those mongrel dogs?
Speaker A
You're outlawed like them. You're out to survive like them. You live rough. You live hard fighting the law, nature.
Speaker A
You're out for yourselves. See, this is why you're an O'Driscoll, O'Driscoll. You're out to survive. We're out to live free. Colum's a sneak thief and a killer. Dutch is Dutch is more like a teacher.
Speaker A
From where I've been, you just look the same as all. Then you looked, but you ain't seen.
Speaker A
John, shut that boy up. Enough out of you boys. We're almost on him. Now, who knows if this son of a [ __ ] we got with us is talking true. But if it's what he says it is and Cole O'Driscoll's
Speaker A
here, we can end years of fighting here and now. Amen to that. Here. Here. I swear this is where he was.
Speaker A
Shut up. Okay, now now cut left up here. We We go down the hill into the forest.
Speaker A
We're going in quiet, taking them out as we find them, trying not to set things off, but if we do, we move quick and hard. We settle this like we know how.
Speaker A
Okay. Okay. by me. With you, Morgan. All right, then. Through the trees here. Hey, we're real close. I'd leave your horses the other side of this clearing.
Speaker A
I'll get my guns off my horse and I'm ready. Easy, Bill. Quiet. [music] This is it. The cabin's just the other side of this hill.
Speaker A
Okay, off your horses. Let's go. You going to get them knives? I said easy.
Speaker A
Follow me. All right. It ain't far. We might have shared a horse, but we ain't friends. Remember, I'm watching you every moment.
Speaker A
I ain't going to shop you now. Come on. It'd be suicide. You'll die, boy. But you lose your balls first. Jesus Christ.
Speaker A
Just over the ridge. Okay, get down. Cabin's in the clearing down there. There'll be a bunch of fellas hiding out there too.
Speaker A
Are these fellas armed? Armed, drunk, wary of strangers. Yep. And Cole O'Driscoll, he'll be holed up in his cabin. Be passed out. Booze blind. Likely is not.
Speaker A
Hey, over there. Someone's coming. So, uh, who's going to tell him we ain't got nothing for the pot?
Speaker A
Oh, let me think. The feller that spooked the game, I reckon. I'm going to drain it. I I'll catch up.
Speaker A
No, we ain't going to fall for that. We're going to wait so you can tell him yourself.
Speaker A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. If anyone's actually going to shoot the messenger, it'd be that mean son of a [ __ ] Yes, sir.
Speaker A
Come on, shake it off. Come on. What are we doing about the pisser Morgan? One by the tree.
Speaker A
He's yours, Williamson. Okay, I got him. Morgan, the next two. What's the plan? Keep back where they won't hear us. When I move, you move. Take them out in a distance.
Speaker A
I can do that. Hurry up already. Good work. Moving on the camp. I left our guide up there. He's meek as a little lamb.
Speaker A
He better be over here. Gonna run the log. What we doing about him? Take him quiet, Marston.
Speaker A
Okay. Get your hands dirty for a change. Okay, now what? We're at the perimeter.
Speaker A
Morgan, you hear that? Give me a high. Time to move on them. You ready? As I'll ever be. Let's go.
Speaker A
In the sp. It's on. We move quick. This is quite a [screaming and groaning] hideout.
Speaker A
We caught them on the drink. They all run with Vander. Run and hide if you know what's good for you.
Speaker A
We got We can [music] defend the fall back. We can't you want yourself. We got you beat you drunk idiots.
Speaker A
Come on, Driscoll. Where are you? Coming back in. Watch out. Come on then. Come on. What are you hiding out in the woods for? You stay here. You're dead man.
Speaker A
Don't run away from me. You're worthless. You weren't lying there, little toad. That's it. They're turning tail.
Speaker A
Leave him. Cole's still here. Hey, you said Cole's be in the cabin. I'll check you. Look out here.
Speaker A
What you got, O'Driscoll? You all right? Sure. Thank you. Comriscoll, he ain't here. You set us up.
Speaker A
Come here. What? You set us up. No, I didn't. You did. Comriscoll ain't here.
Speaker A
He was here. I swear. I I If I was setting you up, I I wouldn't have saved your life.
Speaker A
It's a good point, Arthur. All right, then. Go on. Get out of here. Hey, I won't kill you.
Speaker A
I didn't set you up. Get lost. Get lost. I'm letting you run away now.
Speaker A
Go on. Get out of here. That's as good as killing me out there. Without you, Ko just was going to lose his mind about this.
Speaker A
So So I'm one of you now. [sighs] Give me a break. All right, then. But I'm warning you.
Speaker A
Oh, I know. Come on. Let's get to camp. So you got the cash then?
Speaker A
What cash? Yeah, there's usually some cash in the chimney. I'll check it. Rest of you boys, get to camp quick.
Speaker A
See, Arthur, I ain't so bad. Hey, Bill, you tell Dutch old Kieran ain't worth killing just yet. Right, you are At least you got something tucked away.
Speaker A
H Morgan. Hair Morgan. Mr. Strauss. You're busy, my friend. Why? I'll cut you in.
Speaker A
Loaning already. You know how it is. People is happy to borrow off someone like me, but more enthusiastic paying back to someone like you.
Speaker A
Of course. Who are they? H. Let me see. A chick Matthews works at Guthrie Farm. He's a hand, I believe.
Speaker A
Mr. Groble the small holder at Painted Sky runs the operations there badly. Miss Lily Millet is a ranch made up at Emerald Ranch.
Speaker A
Here was me believing Dutch's bluster about us helping folk. It's legal work, Mr. Morgan. Dats belong in prison. We are doing them a favor.
Speaker A
I'll make sure they see it in them terms. Put the debts in the deed box and try not to kill them. It's very bad for business.
Speaker A
I just miss him so much. Come on, boy. Yeah. Well, hey there, partner. Come take a look at this.
Speaker A

Speaker A
Let's go, boy. everything. Yeah. You have any idea of the hole I'm in? Oh, come on. Why is it always got to be such a goddamn performance with you?
Speaker A
Now, I told you I'd get you the money next week and I'll get it. If you didn't make it this week, who's to say you'll make it next?
Speaker A
Don't you take that tone with me. I thought you said you love me. I do. I do. But what I get paid ain't enough for one person, let alone two.
Speaker A
Your money's got to be your problem now. The only problem I got is this bleeton going on in my ear. Now lay off it, Lily. Godamn it.
Speaker A
Lily, where's our money? What? That loan you took. It's payday. I'm sorry. I don't have it right now.
Speaker A
Well, then I guess we got a big problem, don't we? Cooper, give him what you've got.

Speaker A
You have to do this. Waste of my time. All right. All right. He has all my money. I I gave it all to him. Just take everything that you find on him and let's be done with this. Please.
Speaker A
Check his pockets. You'll find something on him. I swear he's got money on him.

Speaker A
Was Blackwater really bad luck though, Dench? You and Mike are acting real crazy. Hi uncle.
Speaker A
Hey, how did you get on here? Morgan, fine. Our accounts are up to date. Sad sacks. A lot of them.
Speaker A
Good. Very good. My pleasure. Well, if it's pleasure you're after, there is one other. This farmer preacher fellow I met in Valentine, Mr. DS.
Speaker A
The opinionated little dogooder. Yeah, I know the one. I certainly know the type. Thank you, Hair Morgan.
Speaker A
There's no need to thank me. Like you said, it's pleasure [snorts] I'm after. He's more slippery than he seems. I've tried being polite. Don't take any nonsense.
Speaker A
Nonsense? Me? If he doesn't have the money, beat him. I usually do. I know. I know.
Speaker A
Okay, boy. Yeah. Yeah. Can't get away. Ready for Yeah. Bonus. That was good work, boy.
Speaker A
Mr. Thomas DS. Yep, that's me. You owe me money. Oh, no. No. I'm I'm I'm We ain't a charity, Mr. DS.
Speaker A
Come here, you maggot. Please, sir. I'm I'll really threaten me, would you? Please. I have a family, sir. Please.
Speaker A
I don't care about your family. Why did it have to come to this? Huh?
Speaker A
Believe me, sir. I didn't want this either. This is not forgiveness of my debt. This is just a stay.
Speaker A
You ain't such a dogooder, are you? If you're running out on debts, I'm I'm not running anywhere. I'm I'm I'm doing my best for you.
Speaker A
If you'd been good, this wouldn't be happening. You borrowed money from my business partner, Har Strauss. You owe him. You took the money. He wants it back. What's not to understand? [laughter] Where's our money?
Speaker A
I don't have it. Sell your place. We already owe more than it's worth. Then sell your wife or your family or something. We ain't your idea. Charity.
Speaker A
Is that clear, [cough] Thomas? What are you looking at, Thomas? I said, "What you looking at, woman?" My husband isn't well. If we could just have more.
Speaker A
Like I said, we ain't nobody's idea of charity. Get us the money. [music] Yeah, let's go.
Speaker A
[music] Yep. Heat. Ah, how did you get on? Not so good. He's almost dead. And they seem more or less destitute. You were a fool for lending them the money.
Speaker A
Well, people who aren't desperate don't seem so interested in my propositions. Of course. That's an interesting way of putting it, Sheamus.
Speaker A
Uh, no doubt. I do interesting very well. It's trusting. I don't do so well.
Speaker A
Please, Arthur. This is Sheamus. He's our new partner. I ain't no such thing. Perspective new partner. If he likes us, liking ain't the problem. Trusting is, as I said, keep your voices down. I don't want my boss hearing. This is a
Speaker A
sideline. Of course. Look at us. Honest day is long. Exactly. I tell you what. Let us prove ourselves.
Speaker A
Prove ourselves to this clown. What you talking about? Good day, Hosea. Good luck with your business dealings.
Speaker A
Listen, he's rough and ready and quick with his tongue, but I swear you can trust him and trust me.
Speaker A
I'm an old man. You're not old, Sheamus. I'm old enough. And you know why I ain't dead?
Speaker A
You don't trust idiots. Exactly. We're not idiots. Let us prove it to you. Okay, I'll tell you what, Arthur.
Speaker A
Old Bob Crawford and his boys just bought a beautiful stolen stage coach from upstate. It's in their barn. Now you go get that and then we can work together.
Speaker A
Who's old Bob Crawford? An acquaintance of mine. So you want us to take out your competition?
Speaker A
Well, he he's not just an acquaintance, but a cousin by marriage. I also want to see if your boys got what it takes. Now, you survived that. Where is he? He's in a farmhouse just northwest of here called Karma Dell. That's just off the
Speaker A
train tracks as you're heading up towards Fort Wallace. There's also some money in that house. But that's your business, not mine. But don't kill nobody. Folks know we ain't intimate no more. They'll know it was me.
Speaker A
But you're fine with us robbing your cousin by marriage. And yes, I'd love it. You heard the man. Let's go rob his cousin.
Speaker A
by marriage. Okay, boy. Let's go. Really? Really? Lead the way. He said the place is just northwest of here.
Speaker A
Me? You're the one who's been out gallivanting around here. That's what you call it. Well, clearly you've recovered from your bear encounter.
Speaker A
Could have played that better, couldn't you? Thought you wanted me here to show some strong arm. That's usually how it goes.
Speaker A
Yes, but you know how this works. Come on, Hosea. That fell's a joke. And that's why he's perfect. He won't cause us any problems. A safe spot to fence wagons and coaches. That's easy money for us.
Speaker A
I guess you're right. Come on. And it's not like [music] he's asking us to rob a bank. If the two of us can't steal a stage coach from Sheamus's old crooked cousin by marriage, we should hang up our hats
Speaker A
now. So, what's the story with that Emerald Ranch? You find out anything else? A little. Owner's a nasty type by all accounts. Sheamus is sure scared of him.
Speaker A
That's not saying much. Something strange about the place. Used to be a saloon there, general store. Now it's all closed up, but they seem to have money.
Speaker A
Sounds worth a look around, for sure. Sheamus also mentioned the rancher's daughter a couple of times, how he used to see her around all the time, but now she never leaves the house. Probably just sweet on her. That
Speaker A
which you call finding out a little once he opens up. Seems Sheamus does like to talk.
Speaker A
Hopefully not too much. That must be the place up ahead. We should go on foot from here.
Speaker A
Let's see what we're dealing with. Come on. There's the house. I see the barn in the back. Stage coach has to be in there.
Speaker A
Okay, let's take a quick look at the place. Anyone around? Yes. Okay, I reckon we can do it now. I'll head over, distract them by putting on a little show while you sneak into the house, find what you can, then get the
Speaker A
stage coach. Or wait until nightfall. Sneak in, then I'll get the coach. You can try the house. What do you think?
Speaker A
[sighs] Let's wait. Okay, let's go. Sure. You go into the house. I'll go find this wagon.
Speaker A
Maybe take a peek through the windows before you go in. Make sure it's all Come on.
Speaker A
Huh? [snorts] What is happening? [snorts] [sighs] Good. Get on, dear boy. Come on. Get on and let's head back.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] Nicely done. We got everything we needed. And I'm pretty sure they never even knew I was there.
Speaker A
Best way. Less problems the better right now. Just need to get this [music] back to Sheamus in one piece and it's a good night's work.
Speaker A
So, what were you able to lift from the house? Found some money stashed away.
Speaker A
Must be a few hundred. Not too bad. Not bad at all. This was easier [music] than hunting a,000 lb grizzly. Anyway, no doubt. I won't forget that in a hurry.
Speaker A
I'm looking forward to your retelling of that one around the campfire. It wasn't the first [music] time Mr.
Speaker A
Matthews had stared death in the eye, and as usual, he did not flinch. Yeah exactly.
Speaker A
So, how long you think we're going to stick around here for? Not sure. Until we can, I suppose.
Speaker A
So, here's something strange. Okay, here we are. Just pull the coach into the barn there. Why aren't we on the damn road?
Speaker A
Hello, Sheamus. We met your cousins. How was it? Fine. Nice people. Park that thing in here quickly.
Speaker A
Nice work, Jose. It was mostly Arthur. Like I said, coarse but competent. Here. Thank you. If you find any other coaches that need selling, I'll see what I can offer you for them. But discreet, you know.
Speaker A
Of course. Goodbye, gentlemen. I'm heading back to camp, I think. You coming? Sure. Hello.
Speaker A
Hi Arthur Dutch Miss O'Shea. Well, feels [clears throat] like we are finally getting back on our feet.
Speaker A
You uh find a buyer for them bonds we stole? Not yet, but Jose is working on it. When we heading west soon, I don't know.
Speaker A
Feels like things have changed. The whole world's changed. They don't want folk like us no more.
Speaker A
We're being hunted. We are smarter than them. Only the feeblest of men take jobs in the government. [laughter] I hope so.
Speaker A
Trust, Mr. Morgan. You have to. They got Micah. Dutch off. What's going on? They got Micah. He He's been arrested for murder. He was in Strawberry.
Speaker A
It's okay, son. Breathe. They nearly lynched me. They They got Micah and the sheriff's in Strawberry.
Speaker A
And there's talk of hanging them. Here's open. Arthur, what? The fool brought this hunt himself. You know my feelings about him, Dutch.
Speaker A
You think I can't see past his bluster to the heart inside? He is a fine man.
Speaker A
No, I ain't saving that fool. I can't go. My face will be all over West Elizabeth. I am asking. He would do it for you. I don't think he would, but fine. All right.
Speaker A
Arthur, you okay, Lenny? Yeah, of course I'm okay. You don't seem okay. You take that kid into town. Valentine, not Strawberry.
Speaker A
Get him drunk. And Arthur, no crazy business. I've given that up. And you get Micah out of that jail.
Speaker A
[sighs] Come on, son. I'll get to it. Dutch just can't drop everything. Come on, boy.
Speaker A
I rode as fast as I could. Didn't stop for nothing. Yeah, you look like you've been through it.
Speaker A
I'm beat. We finally get off that mountain, then this. Micah's got a crazy side. Arthur, what were you boys doing? you supposed to be scouting ahead for?
Speaker A
I kept asking him what we was doing, but he was You worried too much, kid. Just Just some business to attend to, kid.
Speaker A
You know how he is. Yes, I do. He was half soaked before we even got there. Then we ran into some fellas. One of them, Mike, drank some more. And this is supposed to be a dry town we're in,
Speaker A

Speaker A
[ __ ] You paired degenerates. There's a fine for drunken violence in this town. You're just lucky no one was killed. Hey, we didn't start a thing.
Speaker A
[laughter] Yes, you did. Well, I don't remember. Either you fools got any money. It's $10 and you're free to walk.
Speaker A
Sure. Now, get out of here. I don't want to see either around here no more.
Speaker A
[groaning] [sighs] So, that was a quiet drink. First one was pretty quiet. [laughter] Yeah, the first one was pretty quiet.
Speaker A
At least it took your mind off goddamn Mikey. Well, that's certainly true. I got to get out of here.
Speaker A
I'm just going to have a little sit down and feel sorry for myself. [groaning] [sighs] [sighs] Dear Arthur, I've written this letter a hundred times or more and I cannot get it right. It's me. You know it's me from
Speaker A
the bad handwriting. I know I said when we last spoke and I was going off to get married that we would not speak again. I know I said a lot of things and I meant them I suppose at the time but I'm not
Speaker A
so proud as to not speak to people who care for me or cared for me. I've been in Valentine for a couple of months. I had some bad luck and well, it's a long story and not an interesting one. But I
Speaker A
am here for now. I saw a couple of the girls or whatever the polite term is for them that ran with you and your associates in town and I heard tale of a man who sounded like you. I would love
Speaker A
to see you again if you could spare me a little bit of your time. I'm renting a room at Chadwick Farm just north of Valentine. Yours, Mary Linton.
Speaker A
Good morning, Arthur. I am mighty glad to be out of that cold, Mr. Morgan.
Speaker A
Me, too. I am getting too old for it. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Hey hey hey, what are you doing here?
Speaker A
Hey, Yes. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you, ma'am. Um, is um is Mrs. Linton in?
Speaker A
I'll go see. Mrs. Limit a collar for you. Hello, Arthur. Mary, I heard you and your friends [music] was around. I Okay.
Speaker A
Where's what's his name? Died. Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, me too. Happened a while ago. Pneumonia.
Speaker A
Bad business. Sure. So, uh, well, you've been [clears throat] you've been made a widow and you come here looking for me. Is that it?
Speaker A
No. Ain't like that, Arthur. Okay. I my family. I need your help. You mean the family that always look down on me? You want me to help them?
Speaker A
It's my little brother Jamie. I always like Jamie. At least compared to the rest of them.
Speaker A
He's broken daddy's heart. Daddy has a heart. Don't make me beg you, Arthur. My money, my life, me. I wasn't good enough.
Speaker A
I'm sorry. We need your help real bad. Little Jaime's joined the Chelonians. That strange religious order.
Speaker A
Good for him. They're quite mad, Arthur. They'll kill him. You're the only person he'd listen to.
Speaker A
So, I'm too rough to marry into your family. But it's okay to ask me to help in saving your family.
Speaker A
I'm sorry. I understand if you don't want to help me, but but I think of you often.
Speaker A
Long time ago now. I'm begging you, Arthur. I say let Jaime live Jaime's life and not the nightmare that his daddy dreamed up for him.
Speaker A
Jaime's so innocent. Arthur, [sighs] please. Arthur, will you help me? [sighs] Where is he?
Speaker A
Somewhere out near Card Dell. I think the rancher there said he'd seen him around the Cumberland Forest area. I just want him back. Arthur, if you find him, bring him to me at the station.
Speaker A
I'll see what I can do. I'll owe you. You already owe me. Yeah, that Yeah.
Speaker A
Oh, hey you there. Think you can help a lady out? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, boy.
Speaker A
All right, boy. Yeah, good boy. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Heat. Heat. Easy now. And what is Chelonianism?
Speaker A
No less than the recent rediscovery of theology. 100 years ago, the great Chelonian master led pilgrims across the Lanahasi into the wilderness to found a great place of safety. A place of safety.
Speaker A
That is where we are heading, Jamie. Yes, Jamie. That is where we are heading.
Speaker A
Yes, Jamie. We are heading to paradise. It's in the mountains. It sounds wonderful. It is wonderful, Jamie. Really wonderful.
Speaker A
My father. Your father will understand, Jamie. It's paradise. It's in the mountains. And when we get there, Jamie, we will write to your father together.
Speaker A
Together from the mountains. Chalonia. Gentlemen. Shafy. Sh of safety. Shafy. Sh of safety. Sh of safety. Sh of safety. Sh of safety.
Speaker A
Sh [clears throat] of safety. Shafy. Can I speak to the boy? Arthur. Hello, son.
Speaker A
Your sister is very worried. The boy has chosen a path, sir. The path to truth.
Speaker A
Well, his sister just wants to speak with him. Arthur, I've chosen a path. The boy has chosen a path. He's chosen safety.
Speaker A
What path have you chosen, sir? I'm still searching. I guess we are all searching. Chelonianism is about searching.
Speaker A
What do we search for, do you think? I don't know. Safety. safety and meaning.
Speaker A
Jaime knows the truth. But of [music] course, you may speak with him. Exactly. If your teachings are so great, what harm can I do?
Speaker A
I'm I'm not I'm not coming with you, Arthur. Just come and speak with Mary, then make up your mind.
Speaker A
Leave me alone, Arthur. I didn't ask for your help. [music] For Christ's sakes, Jamie, just [music] hold up a minute.
Speaker A
You pop up out of nowhere. [music] Sorry. They're just using you, telling you what you want to hear.
Speaker A
What the hell do you [music] know about it Arthur? Yeah. Come on, Jamie. Your sister's worried about you.
Speaker A
I don't have to answer to you. Damn it. We got to do this the hard way.
Speaker A
This is none of your damn business. Come on. You ain't stupid. You can see this is crazy.
Speaker A
You're the crazy one. Stop. Let's talk about this. I was doing just fine by myself.
Speaker A
[music] Little jack. Sorry, mister. What are you going to do, Jamie? Live the rest of your life in the mountains with those people? [music] They're my friends.
Speaker A
If you don't leave me alone, I'll [music] shoot you. I swear it. What are you talking about? You ain't no killer.
Speaker A
You don't know who I am. Please, Arthur. I'm a man now. I I found something. A calling.
Speaker A
You're just a kid. You're making a big mistake. I'm not taking advice from you. You're an outlaw. You leave me alone. They're good people. I'm warning you, Arthur Morgan.
Speaker A
Leave me alone. Please, kid. Put that gun down. I warned you, Arthur. I'm I'm going to I don't want to live anymore, kid. Just calm down.
Speaker A
Leave me alone. Now calm down. Let's go see your sister. Okay. Okay. [snorts] It's okay, kid.
Speaker A
Have I been a terrible fool, Arthur? I don't know. I don't know enough about it.
Speaker A
But one thing I do know, there ain't no shame in looking for a better world.
Speaker A
I missed you, Arthur. Are you and Mary sweet on one another again? Oh, no. [groaning] That's all a long time ago, son.
Speaker A
Well, this wasn't how I thought today would turn out. It's been a long time, Jamie Gillis. You were a kid last time I saw you. You didn't try to kill yourself.
Speaker A
You know, you taught me how to ride a horse. Too well, apparently. Chalonia, though. Really? You'd fall for that?
Speaker A
They were very nice to me. They're decent. I'm sure. Please tell me you didn't give them any money.
Speaker A
Of course I did. They rely on charitable donations. Jesus, Jamie, come on. I just wanted to believe that there might be something good coming my way one day. Guess that's dead in the water with the turtles.
Speaker A
Shut up. All father kept telling me was, "You won't amount to anything. You're not enough of a man. I had to get away. I couldn't take you anymore.
Speaker A
Forgive me, but your father's a bully and a coward. Don't listen to him. Hey, don't talk about him like that.
Speaker A
What do you want me to say, Jamie? He's a good father. A nice man.
Speaker A
He won't be [music] happy I saw you. Please send him my worst regards. The thing is, he's right. I'm not good at anything.
Speaker A
Come on, that ain't true. Tell me something you like. Um well um don't think too hard.
Speaker A
Apples, I guess. Apples? Yeah, I love apples. Okay. I was thinking more along the lines of carpentry or horses or something. But all right, go work in an orchard then.
Speaker A
By that token, you must really like shooting and robbing [music] people. I only like shooting young idiots who run away from me when I'm trying to help them.
Speaker A
Father told me what you do. I'm sure he did. Are you still with Dutch? And what was his name? Hester.
Speaker A
Jose. Yep. Still the same. Sort of. And Annabelle and Bessie. I'm afraid they're dead.
Speaker A
[ __ ] Maybe Mary did make the right choice. No doubt. But none of it is anything like the nonsense you read in the newspapers.
Speaker A
So, are you two getting [music] back together? I told you no. Just asked me for a favor.
Speaker A
You know Barry Linton's dead. Pneumonia. She told me. So the door is open, so to speak.
Speaker A
That's all in the past. Different people now. She's not. And you seem just the same.
Speaker A
Well, maybe that right there's a problem. She was always too good for me. Let's just get you back to your sister.
Speaker A
She's waiting [music] at the station for us. Here we are. She must be waiting inside.
Speaker A
You're nervous about seeing her, aren't you? Jamie. Jamie, come home. Please. You've Father's been very sad.
Speaker A
Father wouldn't know sadness if it died in his bed. But I'll come home for you, my boy. My sweet boy.
Speaker A
Come on. Oh Arthur. Thank you. Thank you. It's good to see you, Mary. And you, Arthur. And you I've You're Oh, you'll never change.
Speaker A
I know that. I feel like the luckiest man alive and I feel like a fool.
Speaker A
That woman confuses me and plays me for a fiddle like no one else alive. I trust I will not make a god-awful fool of myself once more. But [snorts] somehow I imagine I shall add Well, [groaning] look at here. Maybe
Speaker A
this is our man. You a bounty hunter, mister? Maybe. It depends. But I'm guessing you ain't here to pass the day, turn yourself in, or discuss the finer points of county law.
Speaker A
Then I don't need to know much more than that till I got a reason to.
Speaker A
All right. You smell that? This here's a livestock town, mister. Attracts delinquents and reprobates like flies.
Speaker A
Now, I'm not a fellow to pass a quick judgment, but I've been around long enough to know you don't hire a saint to catch a sinner. [snorts] You bring me what I need, and I'll pay you well, and
Speaker A
I won't ask no questions. So, what is it you need? Why don't you have a look at that poster on the wall over there?
Speaker A
He's a low down hustster. He's been poisoning folks with his miracle cure from here to Ansburg. Killed more than Landon Rickets without even pulling a trigger. Gets some kind of sick satisfaction out of it.
Speaker A
Feller over at the saloon says he thought he saw him by the gorge straight north of here. You think you can bring him in? The money's good. I need him alive though. I want to make sure the women he witted get compensated before
Speaker A
he swings. I'll see what I can do. Well, good luck to you. And we need him alive. That's an important point.
Speaker A
Alive. I got it. Yeah. Easy. Heat. Yeah. Whoa easy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What we got here?
Speaker A
Are you Benedict Albbright? Oh sir. H kind of look like him. And I was told he'd be up here.
Speaker A
No. Uh, not me, sir. It's because I want to buy some medicine. And I heard I heard good things. I'll pay in gold.
Speaker A
If if you could help me find him. It's just my mother's real sick. Well, if that's the case, it's for a sick woman. I'd be happy to help. I'm a healer, you know, a medical man. Finest medicine in the state. [laughter]
Speaker A
What? Game's over, mister. Put your hands up. I'm taking you in. Take me in? What for?
Speaker A
Apparently that stuff you're pushing is killing folk. There's a price on your overhead. I don't know. Well, it ain't my business. Come on, partner. That's crap. I'm a healer.
Speaker A
I got an aura. I speak to spirits. I'm a scientist. Folks get real angry for no good reason. This This is a mistake.
Speaker A
Keep your hands up, buddy. They only want you for questioning. I have to insist that this is a mistake.
Speaker A
Don't be a fool. Hold on. I'm slipping. [ __ ] You saved me. Now come on, buddy. Let's make this easy.
Speaker A
Well, you're taking me in. It's just for questioning. Oh, you saved my life. Ain't we had enough drama?
Speaker A
I I'd be better off jumping. They expressly told me not to kill you. Oh, this is about you. [panting] Don't jump.
Speaker A
Or what? You can't shoot me. Please, I'll take my chance. Come here. Bye, friend.
Speaker A
[groaning] Really do not like you. Help me. [ __ ] I got to cross.
Speaker A
Swim to the edge. Grab on to something. All right, try. Look out the rapids.
Speaker A
Hold your breath. Keep your head above water. There we go. Come here. Come here.
Speaker A
Who made you? All right, let's take you in. This is very kind of you.
Speaker A
Yeah. Same as this. Oh. Oh. Sir, I think I must be suffering from exposure.
Speaker A
Suffer a little longer. Oh, I seem to keep blacking out. [groaning] You do seem to keep blacking out.
Speaker A
Not good, sir. This isn't necessary. I'm a medical man, a healer. It's all just a big mistake. Oh, I don't feel very well.
Speaker A
I told you to shut up. Who made you judge? I'm only in it for the money.
Speaker A
Oh, I don't feel well at all. You're a bully sir. You don't understand anymore. And that's Oh, my lord. I wasn't expecting you back so soon.
Speaker A
Uh, Mrs. Cowdorf was uh just leaving. Sure. Where you want him? I'm selling the back.
Speaker A
There's been some terrible mistake. I never did it. Any of it. I thought I told you to shut up, partner.
Speaker A
But I told you about nothing. Shut up. And uh Good luck. It's been real fun.
Speaker A
You ain't much of a man. You ask folks for forgiveness. You remember this, partner? I've [clears throat] already forgotten. I'm sure. How much was you offering?
Speaker A
Uh $50 here. Thank you, madam. Please remember what I told you. Let's go, boy.
Speaker A
How many? A lot. Uniforms everywhere. You see Shawn? No, I don't think so. Damn it.
Speaker A
Hey, where's Trani? Where is that little Irish bastard? I'm not quite sure. Trlani's off trying to find out.
Speaker A
Has anyone been in the black water? See how things lie? places crawling with Pinkertons, bounty hunters, and pictures of Dutch and Hosea.
Speaker A
We got a lot of money sitting in that town. And that's where it's going to remain for now.
Speaker A
Why haven't they hang Shawn? I wonder. I think he's bait or they want to try him publicly.
Speaker A
Gentlemen, Shawn is being moved up the upper Montana, then to a federal prison out west.
Speaker A
Damn. Well, we can't be rescuing people from some federal prison. We either rescue him now or we cut him loose.
Speaker A
We're not cutting anyone loose. Of course not. Ike Skeleton's boys are moving him to a camp nearby before handing him over to the government. So, I guess we need to stop them before they get to camp.
Speaker A
Charles, why don't you head up on the north side and then we'll head up on the other side of the valley and meet you.
Speaker A
That way we have them in either direction. Javier, Josiah, come on. Let's go see.
Speaker A
You know, Arthur, the government or people whom the government like seem to be very angry. [clears throat] Sure. Well, we'll rescue Shawn and then we'll get ourselves lost. Good and proper. It's a big country. I hope so.
Speaker A
Follow me. Let's see if we can track down this boat. Keep your eyes open for Pinkertons. They got patrols out all over this area.
Speaker A
Yes. South of the river, West Elizabeth isn't a very welcoming place right now. It's definitely as bad as we feared in there Arthur.
Speaker A
I keep hearing [music] about this woman, Heidi McCort. Some young mother they're saying Dutch [music] murdered on the boat.
Speaker A
I don't know about that. I wasn't there. Bad day there. Look. I think that's our boat.
Speaker A
All right, gentlemen. Follow me. What are you doing? Put your guns away until we know it's Shawn. Okay. I know what you two are like.
Speaker A
You think they can see us? If they can, we're just three fellas out on the trail. Act natural. We'll be fine.
Speaker A
So, you've been gone for a while. Much as I love dodging the law and sleeping in the dirt with you derelcts, I do have other business to attend to.
Speaker A
What happened in New York? You know how life is. Never a straight road anywhere.
Speaker A
Especially with you. Nice to know. I missed though. Have you run out of people to rob?
Speaker A
Oh, we'll never run out of people to rob. But without me, you'll not find the caliber of victim that I find.
Speaker A
Maybe. Anyway, we should keep it down. Come on. Let's keep them in sight. You all right, Javier? You're quiet. He hasn't stopped talking since we left you in Valentine. It's the longest ride of my life.
Speaker A
Cute, dear boy. Very cute. Push up. Come on. Apparently, there's a camp somewhere around here where the bounty hunters meet [music] and transfer before continuing out west.
Speaker A
I imagine that's where they're headed. [music] [music] [music] Hey, they've pulled into shore. All right, let's take a closer look. Binoculars, gentlemen.
Speaker A
So, who are these bounty hunters? I don't know too much about axe skeletons, boys, but I hear they're a big crew and wild. Built some reputation in the last year or two.
Speaker A
That looks like Shawn to me. Certainly kicking up enough of a fuss. Yep [music] that's definitely Shawn.
Speaker A
Oh, they're giving him a decent kicking. Well, you can only imagine the [ __ ] he's been giving them.
Speaker A
Oh, yes. They're taking them up the canyon. [music] There's Charles on the other side. Let's go.
Speaker A
What about the other two down there? I've got an idea. Follow me. Ah, hoping.
Speaker A
We should do this quietly if we can. Leave it to me, gentlemen. I'll go around and create a distraction. Then you two sneak across and do the dirty on them.
Speaker A
Okay. Crouch down out of sight. Take out your knife. Stay here. Don't cross until he hasn't distracted.
Speaker A
Wait here. Gentlemen are willing to meet. Gentlemen, excuse me. Dear brothers, my wife is taken ill. Gravely ill.
Speaker A
What's the problem? It's Dear Bessie. You take the one on the left. Where is she?
Speaker A
Let's go now. Keep down. I I'm beside myself. I If I lose If I lose Bessie, I lose everything. Oh, calm down mister.
Speaker A
I can't. I can't. I I'm having a fit. Come on, let's get up there.
Speaker A
A pleasure as always, gentlemen. I think you have it from here. Come on. We got two halfway up the canyon to deal with. [music] Okay, Lingro, those boots you got there, eh? Oh, they're very nice. Who's the guy
Speaker A
you got them from? Is he alive still? Come on, focus. We're going to have to shoot our way up there.
Speaker A
[music] Where do these [ __ ] come from? Move up to that ghost. Stop.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. [music] [music] Let's go [music] in. up there on the cliff. What is in the ground?
Speaker A
Quick. Come on, let's get up there. [music] [music] [music] You're sure? All good. Wouldn't go that far. The camp's up this way. Come on.
Speaker A
Charles, you take the right. I'll go left. Okay, let's take these equipas. God damn army of these bastards. How much is Sean's pound? We should turn them in ourselves.
Speaker A
Still [music] we go push forward. Come on. Come on. Come on. I don't [music] believe there's more heavy organiz Look out left on top of the cliff.
Speaker A
Sit down. What are you having here? Look, they're running away. [music] Okay, supposedly I own you for this one.
Speaker A
You know, you're a lot less ugly from that other angle, Arthur. Come on. [groaning] Do I get a hug, Arthur? A warm embrace for a lost brother now found. [laughter] You know, nothing means more to me than this gang. The bond we share, it's the
Speaker A
most real thing to me. I would kill for it. I would happily die for it. But in spite of all of that, I would have easily left you here to rot if Charles hadn't stopped me. I don't believe a
Speaker A
word of that. Arthur, get him out of here. You're a great man, Arthur Morgan. The kind of young whippers snapper I can really admire. A shut up. Right. We should split up.
Speaker A
Javier, will you escort Mr. Maguire back to camp? Charles, best you ride separately. Be careful. There's patrols everywhere.
Speaker A
What about you? I'm going to see what's worth taking here. I'll meet you back there as soon as I can.
Speaker A
All right. Okay. Come on. Have I got stories for you? Yeah, I can't wait.
Speaker A
I imagine you'll miss me a lot. But fear not, the joy is back in your lives now.
Speaker A
[screaming] Hey, listen. I just wanted to say Arthur. Oh, Arthur. You seem in a good mood.
Speaker A
I am, son. I am. Let's have some fun tonight. Let's enjoy ourselves. Are we having a party?
Speaker A
Maybe just a little one. Everything's going to be great. Uncle Shan is back. Mr. McGuire.
Speaker A
And don't you worry, Miss Crimshaw. Your old crone. I'll keep them girls in line.
Speaker A
If I have to whip him, I will. If you get a bump on the heads, and don't you worry, Mr. Pearson, you drunk out [ __ ] It'll be nothing but the the finest game in the now. Dead eyee Maguire's back.
Speaker A
[laughter] And don't worry about nothing, Mrs. Grimshaw. We'll have this camp running like clockwork.
Speaker A
I love you, bastards. Have fun. have lots of fun. Even you, you grumpy old bastard. Arthur string.
Speaker A
Oh, come on. Uh-oh. Here comes trouble. I just can't get rid of you, can I? Mind if I f?
Speaker A
Still one of life's great pleasures. Sitting by the fire with friends. No matter what else happens, nothing fight beats sitting by the fire. You can have the hounds of hell after you and all the angels of vengeance alongside
Speaker A
them, but a warm fire and you feel all is okay. Them that discovered the stuff must have thought they was gods among monkeys.
Speaker A
They discovered fire. In our time, they've discovered a wire you can talk down to speak to people you wanted to avoid so much you move to a different town to escape them.
Speaker A
Okay. [laughter] [screaming] [laughter] You [clears throat] know, when I was in the army, fellas would spend all night talking about what they were going to do the second they left the army. All kinds of things like, "Oh, I'm gonna go and I'm
Speaker A
gonna be a cook." Or, "Well, I'm going to go out and I'm gonna find me a wife." Hell, someone's like, "I'm going to go and dance with the finest [ __ ] in San Francisco." You know, some [ __ ] like
Speaker A
that. You know how fellas is. Oh, well, no offense. But you know what every one of them did the second they left the army?
Speaker A
join the goddamn army again. Jesus Christ. I mean, here is a group of fellas that spent every waking minute just dreaming of leaving and and then they left and then they jumped back in again.
Speaker A
Stupid. You know what? That taught me something and and and it taught me something I will never forget.
Speaker A
And that's that most fellas are sheep. That's right. And and if you can tell the difference between a the difference between a sheep and a a sheep and and a man, then you will you that makes you a better man than me,
Speaker A
sir. And that's all I'm saying. Mark my words, all of you. Mark my words.
Speaker A
Forgive me. Stupid. You're always ready to let loose, Martian. Well, why too short, Mr. Morgan?
Speaker A
Morgan. Reverend me doctor. Hello. I had no Hello. Can you blame her? What do you want?
Speaker A
Delusions of you. I'm not quite sure. This keeps happening. Will you dance with me, Arthur?
Speaker A
Sure. I ain't much of a dancer. Feels like ages since we've done this. See, Arthur, it's okay to dance. Doesn't mean we won't stop thinking you're angry and sad.
Speaker A
Well, what you think of me? [laughter] Sad in a good way, like a romantic poet.
Speaker A
Well, that's about all I can muster. Well, I need it. Beautiful. Okay. Well, thank you, Mr. Morgan.
Speaker A
[music] The winds singing and softly murmuring blows the stream. The bird ropes free it wild way winging. And I ro and sing with thorn's first beam.
Speaker A
I sing a merry song I wonder. With a light light heart I roll along.
Speaker A
[singing] Oh, with a light light heart I roll along. The good earth loves a wild free rover.
Speaker A
For a roen bird is never dumb. He sings to please the dear old mother and she I rewards him with the crumb.
Speaker A
Every sing light heart I roll along [singing] with a light light. I roll along.
Speaker A
[laughter] Hello, Reverend. Hello. When I was just glad to know I met a girl from old Bordo. She had blonde hair and blue eyes too. Let me ride on ring dang ding dang d. What is that?
Speaker A
[music and singing] Like a [ __ ] cat. Got a hole in the middle and split in two. That's what you call me down.
Speaker A
Let me ring the ring. Now got a hole in the middle and split in two. That's what her mom come in angry said you have lost your maiden head your bag in the middle that's what she went off to be a
Speaker A
on her door and three for two. Now what is that [ __ ] got in the middle and that's what they call ring.
Speaker A
You're a dirty man. Mhm. Yes. Hello there. Are you having a fun? Sure. You don't look like so much fun, boy.
Speaker A
That's your hair down like a man. Hell, even old man Strauss is more of a laugh than you, boy.
Speaker A
Well, thank you, kid. I I'm sorry, Arthur. I I I didn't mean it. It's just because I care. You know, it's because I love you, Arthur. Really, it is.
Speaker A
Yeah. Hello, sir. I've uh I've come from Blackwater. I'm on the trail of a dangerous gang called Odrisco. Heard you had some sort of incident.
Speaker A
We don't deal with bounty hunters around here, son. I I was just wondering if I could get a description.
Speaker A
Well, they weren't friends. They got in a fight. Two men got killed. Now, one of them's an idiot. The other's some kind of dumb mix. So, maybe them's your boys.
Speaker A
You can look right enough when we hang them. Thank you, J. Let me out of here, you maggot.
Speaker A
You think these bars can hold me? You hear me? Arthur. Arthur. Hello, old friend. Had a good time, did you? You going to get me out of here?
Speaker A
I ain't decided yet. Real funny. Oh, I ain't joking, Calpo. I heard so much bluster out of your mouth these last 6 months, and now I got an opportunity to watch you be silenced.
Speaker A
Well, you got to do something. Why? I always looked up to you, Arthur. Well, that's your first mistake.
Speaker A
Listen, there's one little problem. There's only one of me, and there's a whole town full of people wanting to see you sway. You got to do something, Arthur.
Speaker A
You got any dynamite? Yes. Hook that over the bars. See if you can pull them off.
Speaker A
What a modern disaster this is going to be. Just pull that lever. Come on.
Speaker A
Let's get out of here. Come on. What the hell are you doing? He wasn't O'Driscoll.
Speaker A
I know you were up to no good. [music] A Morgan, don't go that way. Let's get the hell out of here. I got unfinished business.
Speaker A
Trust me, Morgan. Trust you. You have finally lost your damn mind. Let's get out of here. Keep moving out of there.
Speaker A
God damn maniac. We should have left you to hang. We're in it now, Morgan. What do you want to do?
Speaker A
[music] I'll take down a lot of you. I'll kill this whole town if I have to.
Speaker A
[music] We should be long down by now. They got something to mine I ain't leaving without.
Speaker A
[music] Look out, we got more coming in. Yep, I see him. [music] We really should get out of here.
Speaker A
Like I said, I need to see some skinny. Get out of here. Skinny. It ain't skinny. Ma is norm.
Speaker A
You always wasn't let down, you fat sack of crap. Excuse me, man. Arthur. Hello, Maddie.
Speaker A
They had something to mine. My guns. I showed him and I'll show the rest of this town.
Speaker A
You have really lost it this time. You're going to die now. you next. Damn it. Damn it.
Speaker A
You're going to win. I'm here. Come on. Come on. This town's a damn joke.
Speaker A
See the horses? Come on. Follow me. Yeah, reckon it's time we got out of here, Morgan. Now you want to get out of here.
Speaker A
God damn it. How many of these sons of [ __ ] are there? Keep riding Morgan. [music] I don't have much choice.
Speaker A
They just ain't giving up on me. You're going to rers. [music] Okay. Woo. Let's get out of here before we get any more on our tail.
Speaker A
That was some good shooting, Morgan. I got to hand it to you. What the hell was that you pulled back there?
Speaker A
Got to be wild. All right, wild. Making a house call in the middle of all that.
Speaker A
Ain't much I care about more than those guns. That much is clear. Who was that fell?
Speaker A
Skinny. Yeah, we ran together for a while. Did a bank job down south. Didn't end well.
Speaker A
I saw how it godamn ended. He was going to let me hang. I'm starting to wish I had. And you owe Lenny, too. If he hadn't found us in time.
Speaker A
Yes. You will all be thanked profusely. I promise. Yeah. Well, you're lucky Dutch has got your back for some unknown reason.
Speaker A
I think we finally lost him. I hope so. I'm giving you a holster. It's my way of saying thank you.
Speaker A
And thank you. There I was having a dull day only for you to liven it up by letting me help you shoot up half a [laughter] town.
Speaker A
You're a funny fella, Arthur. Real funny. [clears throat] Why you act all sour all the time?
Speaker A
Yeah, well, you ain't funny at all. So why you got to act like the court just listen? I'm sorry, but we're family now.
Speaker A
Arthur, you and me, sons of Dutch makes us brothers. And sometimes brothers make mistakes.
Speaker A
I'm heading back to my little camp around back of Strawberry. Come see me. Maybe I can make things up to you.
Speaker A
So you ain't heading back to Dutch? No. I've been a bad boy, Arthur. I ain't seeing Dutch till I can bring him a peace offering.
Speaker A
[groaning] Bye now. Yeah. [groaning] Hey, Arthur. What you want? Uncle told me something about a train.
Speaker A
[sighs] What did he say? Mary Beth overheard something about a train full of wealthy folk rolling down through Scarlet Meadows just south the state border.
Speaker A
Yes. You need help with it? I ain't even sure about doing it. Come on. At night not too guarded. It's perfect.
Speaker A
Nah, I ain't thought it through. And stopping a train pain in the ass. Sure. But what if we could force a train to stop?
Speaker A
Well, of course we get a wagon full of something flammable. Oil. put it on the tracks. They see it. They know they either have to stop or die. Ain't no train driver wants to be cooked alive.
Speaker A
That is kind of brilliant for you. And that is a real idea. I think that's the first time you ever had one of them.
Speaker A
Shut up. You might be the first bastard to ever have half his brains eaten by a wolf and end up more intelligent.
Speaker A
So, we're doing it. Well, we're going to need ammunition, guns, look real frightening, and some dynamite to open up the train.
Speaker A
I'll get the supplies. Got to head into town for Abigail anyway. Don't even ask.
Speaker A
You go find us an oil wagon. Yeah, I know just the place. They're always heading into that refinery.
Speaker A
There's an old rundown shack just over the border, north of a place called Deubberry Creek. Leave it hidden somewhere near there.
Speaker A
[groaning] Yeah. Good job. First one to drop him gets the gold. Everything he got.
Speaker A
Make it quick, boy. Only what you hear. Look. Hey there. Yep. [music] Yeah. There we go.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. [ __ ] Here. You'll be sorry. You good? No more gun. Yeah. [screaming and groaning] Heat.
Speaker A
Yeah. Heat. Yep. Heat. Yep. Yeah. Yep. [music] You busy, Arthur? John, let's get on.
Speaker A
Good. And you? Got everything we need. Good. I think we need another man. Charles, I'll go get him. Meet us at the wagon when you can.
Speaker A
Sure. See, Arthur ain't that dumb. Next time, let the wolves eat all your brain. Then you'll be a genius.
Speaker A
He would on me every day. I had no choice. Go on, lady. It won't make no difference.
Speaker A
[ __ ] Well, at least it ain't your job. Ah, shut up, Arthur. Yeah, your job's starting the fights. It ain't winning them.
Speaker A
Well, can scrap, Arthur. I'm just no good at homework. Yeah, I can see. Besides, what do you care, Englishman?
Speaker A
You've got no time for me. I tried to find your work, but then you're off cutting jobs with other folks, and your boy Sean doesn't get a look in.
Speaker A
Guess I don't want to get shot, that's all. Well, you're a real funny [ __ ] Arthur Morgan, huh? Real funny.
Speaker A
Calm down. You better sleep with your eyes open. Yeah, well, you're going to sleep with your chest open if you ain't careful, boy.
Speaker A
I love you, Arthur Morgan. I love you. Come on, take a shot. Come on, take your best shot, please. Yeah, grow up.
Speaker A
Let me come on the raid with you. Raid. Don't be playing kai with me, son. It's unbecoming. That bloody train you and him has set up. What you're doing out here? You're going to need guns. You're going to need men.
Speaker A
Oh, that. So Marston told you it ain't a big show. I need calmness. If I take you, I might as well bring Ma along. Now compare me to that oily tor again.
Speaker A
You're a dead man. Fair enough. What are you doing here, kid? I'm coming, John. On the job.
Speaker A
I said you weren't coming. Yeah, well, Arthur says I am, and it's his party, boy. So, come on, let's go.
Speaker A
[laughter] Me and the big cheeses love it. Can't wait to slit some bastard's throat.
Speaker A
You sure about this? No. Are we ready? Yeah. Trains due through tonight. All right, then. It's on. Charles, I'm ready.
Speaker A
Gentlemen, let's go earn some money. Yep. Hey, all the horses untethered. Think so. Good. They should follow on behind us.
Speaker A
You find a good spot, Wolf Man? Yeah. Follow the trail southwest. There's a spot that's remote, but should still give them enough time to spot the oil wagon.
Speaker A
They see this block in the tracks. They'll stop soon enough. Apparently picks up a new team of guards in the state line. So shouldn't be too much in the way of guns to deal with.
Speaker A
See, this is what I mean. I disappear for a couple of weeks and you cut me out of all the action.
Speaker A
Just the action that requires a brain. You're a funny fell, John Marsen. For my folks, e you had your feet up the whole time playing sick and fondling that new scar like you're going to buy a breakfast in the morning. Bear left here
Speaker A
towards roads. You don't know what you're talking about. Stay close on this. Wouldn't want you getting scratched by a squirrel or something. That could put you out of commission for the rest of the year.
Speaker A
Why do you have to speak so much? It's incessant. Oh, I've still got some blood in me veins. You old bastards have forgotten how to live. I blame you two for rescuing them.
Speaker A
Far too much trouble for what we got out of it. Yeah. Takes a whole army of bounty hunters to bring in Shawn Maguire. And look at me now in the Gunnar Sea. Back in business, boys. You know, my dad
Speaker A
always used to say, "Not this again." Fine. Damn you three. Sulky, angry, scarface. A right barrel of laughs.
Speaker A
Yeah. So, you block the tracks with the wagon, then jump them. That's the plan. Pretty much. Charles, you deal with the engineers. John, secure the passenger [music] car fast, take charitable donations, and make sure everyone behaves. Here's good.
Speaker A
Stop the wagon over the tracks. Remember, these are innocent folks. We handle this right. Nobody [music] needs to die here.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah. Let's get it on track. Mr. Mar, Mr. Smith, Mr. Maguire, get over there.
Speaker A
When she slows, order. And you? I'm going to make sure she slows. I'll do her time with you. I like it.
Speaker A
Get moving. Here she comes. [music] [music] [music] What's going on here? What's going on?
Speaker A
Nothing good. I need to get up there. Finish up here and join us on board. Hey. All right.
Speaker A
Get on that train, imposter. All yours, Captain. But go on ahead. Everybody stay calm in the get shot.
Speaker A
Go. Everything you got, money, valuable. Please. Here you go. Let's make this quick, people. Come on.
Speaker A
We ain't leaving till this bag's full. I'll do anything. Amy, what you got? I ain't got nothing. Want to have a little chat with Romeo and Juliet here?
Speaker A
Push a problem here. Can't poop. Just put the gun down. I beg of you.
Speaker A
Money. Variable. Don't do this. Just give it [music] to him, Thomas. Please. Okay. Okay.
Speaker A
In the bag. Everything you got. Keep it coming. Don't be shy. People like you make me sick.
Speaker A
These two seem to think we're playing games. Look at you. I want to count to three.
Speaker A
One, two. God damn it. Sick is better than that, lady. And I'm losing your goddamn patience.
Speaker A
Let's just do what he says so this can be over. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a robbery.
Speaker A
Let's make this quick. Stop being No, you go ahead and look for the baggage car.
Speaker A
You sure about that? You show this son of a [ __ ] we ain't playing around here.
Speaker A
Everything you got? Money, valuables. We ain't leaving until this bag's full. You won't get a damn scent [music] from me.
Speaker A
Let me hand you over to my friend then. Necessary. Please. Now, son of a [ __ ] Come on. Cuff it up, people. Don't be shy.
Speaker A
Everything you got. Let's go. Don't help me. I can handle this from here. [music] You should check on Sean.
Speaker A
Okay. Okay. None of you folks move a muscle. You hear me? You're getting robbed.
Speaker A
Give me everything you need. What is it? You all right? Filled with the baggage car.
Speaker A
For Christ's sake, you ain't even taking a look yet. There's probably something in here.
Speaker A
Arthur. Stop. I'm sorry. Come on. Get up, you little Irish [ __ ] Get up.
Speaker A
Need some help here, boy. I'll miss you, brother. This time I'll look and you provide the cover. I'll try me best, brother, but I'm seeing double here.
Speaker A
That gives you twice the chance of hitting someone. Very funny. Are you going then?
Speaker A
So, am we keeping watch or you going to have a right out lump on me head?
Speaker A
At least you ain't got a hole in it. A ghost. Tennis rackets in there. Harsh bastards.
Speaker A
Just keep your eyes peeled. I'm doing me best. All right. I know. It's what's worrying me.
Speaker A
You're nearly done. We'll take that up in there with you. All right, we should probably be going now. There's some decent stuff.
Speaker A
Come on, we should get out of here. Arthur, we've got a problem. There's two [ __ ] on horses. How many you say?
Speaker A
I just see a pair of them. All right, in that case, we're fighting. Ar Smith, get ready.
Speaker A
You men come out the train now. Do you hear? We said you men come out now. There's only two of you. You fools. We got a whole lot less to lose. Why don't the two of you ride away? That way neither
Speaker A
of you get killed. Godamn liberties. There's a few more than torn. Me and my big mouth.
Speaker A
Okay, let's deal with them. Left cam. [ __ ] We got more on the left.
Speaker A
the trees there [music] behind us. We got more of the bastards right here. Come on, boys. [music] Let's get the hell out of here.
Speaker A
up for we got to go. [music] Yeah. Right. Let's lose them. [music] Oh, glad to get rid of those fellas. See if we can Whoa!
Speaker A
Whoa! [laughter] That was fun, boys. Real fun. We can see what they call you the professionals in the outfit.
Speaker A
Shut up. At least we made some money. Hey, what did I get? Got to be $100 here. Very nice.
Speaker A
You weren't even invited. What now? We still need a real big take. Enough for us to get out of here.
Speaker A
Was that a setup? Law turned up real fast. I don't know. I don't think so. But I'm starting to get nervous.
Speaker A
Think they followed us from Blackwater? Maybe. They found me already near Horseshoe, but I think this lot was just locals.
Speaker A
I hope so. I'm going to head into Valentine. See if I can get something started there.
Speaker A
Good idea. Either way, we should all go it alone right now. You know the deal.
Speaker A
Don't be followed. Of course not, boss. Hold on. Whoa. Yeah. Hey, Arthur. Come here a minute.
Speaker A
What is it? Can I ask you a favor? Probably not. Very funny. Would you do something with Jack? He seems kind of down. All this upheaval can't have been easy on the poor kid.
Speaker A
Why? Because I'm your preferred nursemaid. Because he likes you. And well, you know, his father's useless.
Speaker A
Okay. Thank you. Hi. What you up to? Playing. Anything fun? I guess you want to come fishing with me?
Speaker A
Fishing? Sure. You're right. It's about time that you started to earn your cape. Okay, good. Let's go get your pole in. Now, you do have a fishing pole, don't you?
Speaker A
I sure do. Uncle Jose made me one. Good. Well, let's go get it then. Go catch us some fish.
Speaker A
Yeah. I'll mount up and lift you on when you're ready. Nice boy. All right, hold on tight.
Speaker A
So, where are we going? Just down to the river near here. We shouldn't go too far from camp.
Speaker A
Oh, okay. You feeling better? Know you was a little sick. Oh, I'm fine. You're a brave kid. So, just like you.
Speaker A
Well, I don't know about Brave. I ain't much of a kid no more. Well, your mama might disagree. Her and a few other women, I guess.
Speaker A
What do you mean? I'm just talking silly. It's been a tough few weeks up in that snow.
Speaker A
I like the [music] snow. Yes, but not like that. When are we going back to the other camp?
Speaker A
The one near Blackwater? Yeah. Well, we're not. This is our spot for now. Anyway, why?
Speaker A
I forgot a story book there. We left so quick. Well, I'm sure someone can get you another story book.
Speaker A
Really? When? [laughter] We'll see. Got fish to catch first. You see that deer? There we go.
Speaker A
Ride fast, Uncle Arthur. All right. [music] All right. This looks as good a spot as any. [music] [music] Where should we stand, Uncle Arthur?
Speaker A
Down by the shore. Come on, follow me. Just by the water there. You mean?
Speaker A
But first, we need some bait. I'm going to use some cheese. Cheese? Smellier the better. Now, cast your line. Swing the rod back over your shoulder and bring it forward in a smooth motion. Use your wrist, not your
Speaker A
elbow. Like that. That's it. Good. All we do now, Jack, is wait for a fish to take the bait.
Speaker A
How do I know when I've got a bite? Well, if you feel the tip of your fishing rod just twitching, don't yank it yet. That just means one's nimbling.
Speaker A
If you feel a hard tug, that's a fish going for the bait. So, yank hard to hook it.
Speaker A
You've got a bite. Uncle got one. Jack, pull them in. You see him fighting there, Jack? That's when you got to be careful. You'll break the line. Best to wear them out first before you try to reel them in. Look,
Speaker A
Jack, it's a rock bass. Yeah, it's almost as small as you. We should really throw these smaller ones back. Give them a chance to grow up a bit.
Speaker A
Can I take a break from fishing? I want to make something. Okay, I'm going to pick some of those red flowers. I'll be right back.
Speaker A
[music] Fish on the line now. Seems like he's taking a rest now. I'm going to try reeling them in nice and steady.
Speaker A
[music] This one's a smallmouth bass. Not bad. This is sure is [music] boring, Uncle Arthur.
Speaker A
I know. Boring as hell. But then something happens and you can get food for days.
Speaker A
Really? If you're lucky. But until then, you just sit and wait and try not to worry.
Speaker A
It's good for you. It's good for you, I guess. Huh? Hey, look at this.
Speaker A
And what? This necklace I made. Necklace for mama. Sure. What a fine young man.
Speaker A
And in such complex circumstances. Arthur. Isn't it Arthur Morgan? Who are you? Yes. Arthur Morgan. Vanderlin's most trusted associate. You've read the files. Typical case. Orphaned street kid seduced by that maniac's silver tongue and matures into a degenerate murderer.
Speaker A
Agent Milton. Agent Ross. Pinkerton Detective Agency, secunded to the United States government. Nice to finally meet you.
Speaker A
We know a lot about you. Do you? You're a wanted man, Mr. Morgan. There's $5,000 for your head alone.
Speaker A
$5,000 for me. Can I turn myself in? We want Vanderland? No, Dutch. I haven't seen him for months. That's so because I heard a guy fitting his description robbed a train belonging to Leviticus Cornwall up near Granite Pass.
Speaker A
Oh, ain't that a little oldfashioned nowadays? Apparently not. Listen, this is my offer, Mr. Morgan. Bring in Vanderlin and you have my word you won't swing.
Speaker A
Oh, I ain't going to swing anyways. age into Milton. You see, I haven't done anything wrong aside from not play the games to your rules.
Speaker A
Spare me the philosophy lesson. I've already heard it from Mac Calendar. M Calendarer. He was pretty shot up by the time I got to him. So really, it was more of a mercy killing. Slow, but merciful.
Speaker A
You enjoy being a rich man's toy, do you? I enjoy society flaws and all. You people venerate savagery and you will die savagely. All of you. Oh, we're all going to die, Agent.
Speaker A
Some of us sooner than others. Good day, Mr. Morgan. Goodbye. Enjoy your fishing, kid, while you still can.
Speaker A
Who are they? No one to worry about. No one at all. Come on, let's pick up your things and get home.
Speaker A
It's getting late, Jack. Your mother would be worried. Let's head back. Let's go, boy.
Speaker A
Why did you lie about where Uncle Dutch is? Because well, because those are disagreeable men and I don't want them to hurt him.
Speaker A
What did they mean about Mac? Is he in jail? Uh, no. I don't uh think so.
Speaker A
I hope he's just fine where he is. Like I said, don't worry about them. World is full of disagreeable men.
Speaker A
That's why you got all of us to protect you from folk like them. Now, how about that necklace you made?
Speaker A
You still got it, right? Yeah, I [music] got it. Good. Did you like fishing? It was okay. I think it's a lot of waiting around.
Speaker A
It is. Yeah. Look, rabbits are out. Yep. There you are. How you boys getting on?
Speaker A
Great. We caught a fish and I made you this necklace. Ain't that pretty? Ain't I the luckiest?
Speaker A
Did you thank Uncle Arthur? No need. We had a good time. What's wrong? Nothing. Just met some folk. I better go speak with Dutch.
Speaker A
Okay. Hey, you did real fine, kid. Thanks. We got a problem. What? I just met some guys out near the river. A fell named um Milton. And um I don't remember the other fell's name. Ross. Milton and Ross. And they are employees of the
Speaker A
Pinkerton Detective Agency. And they know about the train. And they know we're here. Well, you followed back here.
Speaker A
No, they nowhere near here. And they want you, Dutch. They offered me my freedom in exchange. They did.
Speaker A
Why didn't you take it? Huh? Very funny. Well, what do we do now? I say we do nothing just yet. They're just trying to scare us into doing something stupid.
Speaker A
We have turned a corner. We survived them mountains. We just need to stay calm.
Speaker A
Not looking good. Hey, Arthur. Good to see you. Why you want rescuing again, do you?
Speaker A
No. I got a plan to make it up to you. Oh, playing like the Blackwater ferry job or like you going off scouting and ending up in jail.
Speaker A
Dutch said you was a a big shadow cast by a tiny tree. I don't even know what that means.
Speaker A
I thought you was a tough boy, [laughter] not one of those gentlemen trying to protect his riding clothes.
Speaker A
I just know whenever things get real, you turn yellow. Lose your hair. Yellow. Sure seems that way. So, I guess you won't be riding with me to rob the banking coach comes about this time into Strawberry.
Speaker A
I heard one of the O'Driscoll boys yapping about it while I was inside. You and me do robbery.
Speaker A
That's what I said, didn't I? After you. [laughter] Come on. I know an overlook where we can watch for them coming in.
Speaker A
What are you doing anyway? camping out here like some crazy hermit. Can't exactly stay in town now, can I?
Speaker A
Like I told you, I ain't going back to Dutch without a peace offering. So, what's the deal with this coach?
Speaker A
What do you mean? Comes through about this time every day. Like I said, the end.
Speaker A
I mean, how many men, guns, riders? Nothing serious. [music] It'll be fine. I heard the bank's been hiring every trigger man they can get of late. The meaner the better. You worry too much.
Speaker A
Forgive me if I ain't wholly faithful in something an old Tristan told you when you was half drunk in a jail cell. He kept yapping about it saying how they've been hitting it on the regular. That's a good lead in my book.
Speaker A
Damn old trislls are everywhere now. Bastards got a hold of most of Big Valley. Heard they took over some big ranch north of here.
Speaker A
How the hell you and Lenny end up down here anyway? Oh, you know how it is. Few loose ends. Drink here, drink there.
Speaker A
What loose ends? Nothing that needs to concern you. I always pay my share. It concerns me when you put us in danger and we don't realize till it's too late.
Speaker A
Like that move you pulled in Strawberry, making me kill half the town just for your precious guns.
Speaker A
Precious they are. You need to roll a little looser, Morgan. Looser. I've seen you come full undone more than once now. And you only been running with us a few months.
Speaker A
Are we going to rob this coach or bicker about it? What's done is done.
Speaker A
Guess we're robbing it. Then let's do it. [music] Huh? [music] [music] Heat. Heat. [music] All right, this is the spot. Hold up on this ridge.
Speaker A
Whoa. They should be here in a little bit. Hold tight. Which way will they be coming in?
Speaker A
Should be from over there. We need to hit them fast before they get into town.
Speaker A
Just don't lose your head this time. Of course, tough guy. They should be here any minute.
Speaker A
Look, there they are. Right on time. Get covered up. Come on. Ride. [music] This is a robbery. Stop that coach right now.
Speaker A
Stop that coach right now or you're all dead. [groaning and screaming] Get up. I'll drive.
Speaker A
No need to keep your face covered now. It's just you and me, sweetheart. I'll give it to them. They put up half a fight at least. Yeah. Block. Come on, boy.
Speaker A
Here. Fine. New rifle, too. Here you go, Arthur. From me to you. That's more your style than mine.
Speaker A
What did I tell you? Like licking butter off a knife. Something like that. You don't want to just break it open here and be done with it?
Speaker A
Could be more than we can carry. And there might be a second crew of riders tail.
Speaker A
All right then. Not to mention, we ride back in with a big take and a new wagon to boot. Doug can't say we ain't pulling our weight no more, can he? I ain't sure I trust this new actor of yours one bit.
Speaker A
Listen, I know we got off on the wrong foot, but I got no beef with you. I reckon we're allowed alike, you and me.
Speaker A
Now hold up there. Dutch knows I'm a fell that gets things done. Same as you.
Speaker A
Gets things done. You'd be wearing a California collar now if I hadn't broken you out of jail.
Speaker A
And I have expressed my gratitude, have I not? It's done. Main thing now is getting this hall back in one piece.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. [ __ ] Now we're being robbed. Get across the river. What the hell?
Speaker A
Come on, Arthur. Get out of there. [music] You dumb bastards. You okay? Just [music] keep your head down. Let's finish.
Speaker A
They're goddamn. I can say that. Welcome. Here come [music] down the track. [music] [music] Look at the cowards. They're running away.
Speaker A
That'll show them. Why is it every job I do with you ends in a pile of dead bodies? Since when did you have a problem killing O'Driscolls?
Speaker A
You've got a point. Let's strip this coach then. It clearly ain't going nowhere now.
Speaker A
You know, we should really pick up a lock breaker one of these days. Save ourselves some bullets.
Speaker A
Yeah, because saving bullets is such a concern of yours. Do it. Come on. Let's see if all this was working.
Speaker A
All I see is you, me, a river full of dead O'Driscolls, and a lock box.
Speaker A
I'd say we're golden here, Morgan. Look at that. What's the cut here? It's good. Just make sure the gang gets its piece.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah. Like I said, big shadow, tiny tree. And like I said, that still don't mean nothing. Now get out of here.
Speaker A
Go see Dutch. Make sure you ain't followed. I know, boss. I know. It's been fun.
Speaker A
Come on, boy. Yep. So, feeling better. How's the scar? I heal pretty fast. Lucky you.
Speaker A
So, you just lazing about and you got any leads? The other way? I got something.
Speaker A
You see them? Sure. You see yourself as a shepherd now? Maybe. Come on. Well, where exactly are we going?
Speaker A
collect something. Help us get some sheep. You know that attempt to seem all anigmatic and interesting. That might work for Dutch, but for you just makes you look stupid.
Speaker A
Come along. Just see that train job was a start, but we need more money till we can get back to Blackwater and collect.
Speaker A
I'm here to tell you we try to collect that money anytime soon, it'll come with a noose.
Speaker A
I was worried you'd say that. Dutch says that we Dutch says a lot. That's his gift.
Speaker A
Saying things. Oh yeah. What do you mean by that? I was the prize pony once. Now I'm the workhorse. Listen, Duchess.
Speaker A
But but well, you was at that thing in Blackwater. We already seen Pinkerton's here. New century's coming. This life, this way. Well, we're the last, I reckon. And we ain't long for it.
Speaker A
Then that's the way it goes, I guess. To me. Yes. All right. So, where are we going?
Speaker A
Just need to pick up something. There's a hitching post over there. Tether the horse and I'll meet you across the street.
Speaker A
Morning, partner. I already don't like how this is going. Are you going to buy me a drink?
Speaker A
Gun stool? Yep. Can you uh head in, pick up a sniper rifle? I'll explain later.
Speaker A
Don't you wear yourself out now. Hello. How can I help you today? Looking for a rifle? Something with a sight on it?
Speaker A
Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem. If you want to see what we've got, it's all in the catalog here.
Speaker A
You good? Sure. Let's go. Why couldn't you have done that? Done what? Bought that gun.
Speaker A
I had a run in with that fell earlier. We ain't on the best of terms.
Speaker A
You had a run in. I've had a run in with half that town. Calm down. It's done now, ain't it? Why you being so cagey about all this?
Speaker A
always playing some goddamn game. Me? I ain't the one taking Jack on fishing trips.
Speaker A
No, you ain't. If you say the boy ain't yours, what's the difference? You probably only run off again.
Speaker A
Why are you so interested in my life? Ain't you got one of your own?
Speaker A
Just do one thing or another. Not be two people at once. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker A
It ain't that simple. You know that as well as anyone. Same as with you and that girl, what was her name? Mary.
Speaker A
That was different. No, it ain't. Just the same. Anyway, for the love of God, will you tell me what you got me doing here before I turn around and hit the breeze?
Speaker A
There's a herd of sheep coming down to auction from Emerald Ranchtown. We're saying the owner's trying to stamp out every farm from here to Ansburg.
Speaker A
Yeah, I know that place. Hold up. Whoa. Let's head up to the ridge up there. Get a proper view.
Speaker A
[music] Arthur. So, I'm thinking that the herd will make it to auction. All right. But a couple of new ranch hands will be collecting on the sale. Doubt the town will care to notice too much.
Speaker A
Why? We need this rifle you couldn't buy yourself. Reckon we shouldn't get too close. At least not till we know what we're dealing with.
Speaker A
Let's see what we can see from up here. Okay, I think that's them over there. So what now?
Speaker A
Put a shot in near them. I reckon they'll hight tail it. They're only ranch hands. Just watch the sheep.
Speaker A
Yep, that spooked him. All right. All right, let's go round them up. Okay, boy.
Speaker A
Let's go get the strays. You ever work on a ranch, Marston? No. You? A day here or there, but not much.
Speaker A
Most cowboys I know were dumb as trees. How hard could it be? I guess we'll soon find out. Let's get these things. Bring them back to the yards.
Speaker A
They're pretty scattered. Let's get them all rounded up. Easy. Whoa. All right, I think we got them all.
Speaker A
Let's head to town. You know what, Marston? Why don't you leave the sheep to me? You ride, Shank.
Speaker A
Keep watch for any trouble. I brought you in on this. It'll be quicker this way. Trust me, this ain't the right time for you to be learning how to hurt.
Speaker A
All right, whatever you say. I'm done arguing. Quickest route back to Valentine is right around that mountain. Okay, like I said, I'll handle this.
Speaker A
Yeah, that's more like it. Move. Keep moving. Hold on now. Let's go. Oh, hey. Don't stomp all over him.
Speaker A
You ain't helping. [screaming] Come on. There you go. Move it. Now, those are her up, boys. There you go.
Speaker A
Fine sheep. [laughter] They're okay. Well, you seem better around here. I've seen ones with less ambiguity about their providence.
Speaker A
A lot less. What are you trying to say? I'm trying to say you give me 25% kickback and I won't say nothing to nobody.
Speaker A
Everything all right here? Excuse me? Sure, I'll excuse you for 25%. Do you want me to put another hole in your head? Folks swing for rustling livestock.
Speaker A
25% 15 20 18 done. Calm yourself, friend. Just think of it as I'm buying your sins.
Speaker A
You're buying. [clears throat] We're paying. Go on now. Come back after the auction. You'll get your money.
Speaker A
Dutch is waiting for us at the saloon. He is. You're boy. Yeah. 18%. I thought we was doing the robin here.
Speaker A
Still good money. Well, thanks for all the help with this. Can't hurt. Can't swim.
Speaker A
Give it a rest, will you? We ain't kids no more. Well, he never really was.
Speaker A
Get the hell out. Easy. Oh, not everything. But in the end, I don't believe in absolutes. Just shades of gray compromises.
Speaker A
Compromises. Well, I am. Gentlemen, Dutch, Neo, where have you been? Working. Marston's thing. Good. And we're just waiting to get some pay. Um, a few sheep.
Speaker A
Leopold, my good friend. As long as you're here, why don't you and John go make sure there ain't no funny business.
Speaker A
Of course, gentlemen. Drink. Sure. Nothing like talking to old Strauss to make you want to blow your own brains out. I should have left him where I found him all those years ago. Bookish little Austrian fresh off the boat. His
Speaker A
eyes out on stalks. Well, I guess the Dutch Vanderland finishing school has some strange graduates. That it does.
Speaker A
To your good health. Thank you, Vanderland. Get out of here. Get out of here now.
Speaker A
Vanderland. You don't know me, but you keep robbing me. My name is Leviticus Cornwall.
Speaker A
I am not a man to be messed with by the likes of you. Get out here before I have these men killed.
Speaker A
What do you think? Get out here. You depraved piece of trash. You start spinning the yarn and when I think the moment's right, I'll make I got where I am by letting Scott want you rob from me. Vanderlin, you're done.
Speaker A
Now get out of here now. Deal with this nonsense. Please, gentlemen. This is a terrible mistake. This is a case of mistaken identity.
Speaker A
What is worse than admonishing a man for the sins of another? Who wants to be the Messiah?
Speaker A
Not me, nor to be this Dutch Vanderland, whomever he may be. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
[screaming] [music] Anybody here? [music] Let's go. Come on. Where are you going? That's right at them.
Speaker A
We don't belong. Oh god. The strong [ __ ] Arthur, cover us. Push the wagon.
Speaker A
Arthur, shoot. Stop one. I'm trying. I'm killing you. Step behind the wagon. Watch Arthur. You can use it as cover.
Speaker A
Get out of what are you doing? Get out of here. You [music] shouldn't have robbed that train.
Speaker A
It's just a scratch. Shut up. Darn you. about a little from you. Cut up and kill these bastards.
Speaker A
We are getting to walk out of here. This is madness. You're on the front line.
Speaker A
[music] Oh, you want to come? I can't do this. At least you ain't pushing [music] this thing.
Speaker A
Why don't you run now while you still can bring that towel? That's our horses over there. Come on, grab Strauss.
Speaker A
John, help me. Let's get Come on. Come on. I'm not trying. You're in a situation here.
Speaker A
Where did they all come from? Now's our chance. Come on. Put Strauss on the back [music] of John's horse and let's get out of here.
Speaker A
Make sure nobody's following us. We'll get back to camp. We're going to gather the troops and get them to start packing up.
Speaker A
Sure. We can't stick around after this. Let's go. All right. I better get out of here.
Speaker A
You're dead. I'll get you, you bastard. Ah, don't be away. [music] Yeah. [groaning and screaming] Yep.
Speaker A
[music] Sorry, boy. Yeah. So, we keep heading east. Is that the plan for now?
Speaker A
When do we stop? When we reach Paris? Oh, that'll be nice. Join the commune.
Speaker A
We stop when we find some place sensible. Shake them. That's following us and lie low.
Speaker A
This is lying low. Turned into a bunch of killers. I mean it. We ain't even got the delusion of being anything but a bunch of killers.
Speaker A
We are just trying to survive, Hosea. We don't have a choice. This will end soon.
Speaker A
Damn right it will. Constipated as usual. So, we moving? Yeah. Micah told me of a place we can lie low. Look here. Deubberry Creek, he said.
Speaker A
Okay. Maybe you and Charles can go take a look. Clear off anyone you find before the whole lot of us move in looking so conspicuous.
Speaker A
And how we going to do that? I don't know. Start dancing. Looks like I turned into a goddamn eron boy.
Speaker A
You have turned into my son. You worry because I worry. We are just the same.
Speaker A
Hey Charles, come on. I need you for something. Sure. This can wait. So, where are we going? Find a new spot to camp. We're packing up and moving on again. We have to fast. We'd already pushed our luck too far before that mess
Speaker A
we just made in Valentine. Ah, that didn't sound good. Killed a lot of law. Killed a lot of Cornwalls, man. They must know where we are by now.
Speaker A
So, we're heading south. Yeah. Area called Deubberry Creek. Dutch wants us to give it a look. Make sure it's clear and a good place to lie low for a while.
Speaker A
I've only known him a few months, but the way he talks, I never thought I'd see him wanting to head south, right? And I know by now there ain't no lying low. There's too many of us for that.
Speaker A
And there ain't no way Dutch is going to just hide away in a cave somewhere. Goes against everything he stands for. That'd be admitting we're nothing more than low down criminals, which we are.
Speaker A
You don't have to tell me. Easy now. So, where does it end? Where does what end?
Speaker A
The moving, the running. The Dutch don't see it as running. Call it what you want.
Speaker A
I don't know. Before put enough time and distance between you and the problem, eventually it went away. I mean, this is a big country.
Speaker A
But now with these Pinkertons, better paid bounty hunters. I ain't so sure. Maybe the price on our heads got too big.
Speaker A
Yeah, they've certainly got money behind them. They've got Cornwall's money behind them for one, which guarantees even more trouble.
Speaker A
Hold up. I think that must be it up ahead. The old dried up creek seems very open.
Speaker A
Yeah, it does. Ain't sure to be the best in the rain neither. Well, let's take a look around.
Speaker A
Hey, I see something over there. You see it? Someone on the ground there. He's been shot. Looks like trouble got here before us.
Speaker A
There's a camp just up ahead. Sure. Let's get ready for business. All right, Charles. Just go take a look.
Speaker A
Look, here it is. Few tents, but place looks empty. Let's have a look around and make sure.
Speaker A
Where is everybody? Maybe they heard us coming. Be careful. I am being careful. [crying] It's okay. It's okay.
Speaker A
You can come out of there. You okay? You don't mean no harm. He said, "Are you okay?
Speaker A
German. No. Now go on. Get out of here. Go. We need the land. Go.
Speaker A
Get the hell out of here. They took off. Oza. Who did? Men last night.
Speaker A
Well, where did they take him? They ain't no business of ours. I don't even speak their language.
Speaker A
You ain't as tough and dense as all that. Come on, Arthur. The girl was pointing this way. Let's see if we can pick up a trail.
Speaker A
Ah, sorry boy. There tracks. Come on. I don't see nothing. Wolf marks this way.
Speaker A
What's going on with you? What do you mean? You were just going to send that woman and her children on their way.
Speaker A
We're wanted, man. We got Pinkertons braiding down our necks. We should be moving camp, not running off on some wild goose chase.
Speaker A
Come on, Arthur. That's not how you are. Well, maybe you don't know me as well as you think you do.
Speaker A
Hold up. Let me check this. Okay, looks like they go down this way. So, what happened with those Pinkertons [music] anyway when you were fishing with Jack? I said they were on to us. Offered me freedom if I turned Dutch in. They
Speaker A
picked the wrong man there. We should have moved right then if you asked me.
Speaker A
Wait, just let me make sure this is right. [music] Continues along the shore here. Now, I was saying bastards told me they'd killed Mac. Said it right in front of Jack.
Speaker A
That kid, it's going to be tough for him. Yeah, but he has more folk looking out [music] for him than most of the rest of us had growing up.
Speaker A
John said he was going back to the auction yard to [music] collect the money for those sheep. He'd be a damn idiot going anywhere near that town right now.
Speaker A
Huh? He reckoned he'd be able to slip in and out. Oh well. If it's John's idea, it must be a good one. What is it with you and him?
Speaker A
Well, he disappeared on us for a while when Jack was real young. A long while.
Speaker A
Year. Wait a second. Just want to look closer here. They carry on along this trail like you were saying be he did and we [music] was family, you know. I guess I still ain't fully forgiving him for that.
Speaker A
There's a cap up ahead. Be careful. Easy. Seems deserted. Let's take a look. Hold.
Speaker A
Where is this guy? I don't know. But you know something? This is a better camp spot than back there. Much easier to defend.
Speaker A
Maybe. [crying] This looks like our feather, Charles. Quick, cut him free and let's get out of here.
Speaker A
You got your knife there. Fish. Take cover. [screaming] I see three coming this way. What the hell do you think you're doing?
Speaker A
What am I doing? This ain't even our goddamn fight. He ain't that doesn't look like it.
Speaker A
Look out. Right is coming in. Damn. Last one's making a take him down. Well, that's them dealt with. You get him untied and I'll see what they've left behind for us.
Speaker A
I know bitter. Come on. He looks in some pain there. Cut him free. Let's get it back to his family.
Speaker A
I thought you wanted to get this over with Arthur. It's okay. Getting you out of here.
Speaker A
Feeling dunk for your Yeah. Okay. Hey, you wait there a second. Charles, go find Dutch. Get the caravan to divert here. This spot should work for us.
Speaker A
I agree. So, yeah. [music] Uh, where were we? All right. Come on. I'll take you back to your family.
Speaker A
bring the machine. What the hell did you do to those fellas? Those men back there, why did they take you?
Speaker A
Guilt, money. How did someone even come up with them words? [music] Look, I'm sorry, friend. I can barely speak English.
Speaker A
Yeah. Heat. There they are. The hair got dunk shots [laughter] lips. [laughter] Oh, now get out of here. This place ain't safe. Get out of here.
Speaker A
Thank you and hats and dunk. Guess it was a pleasure. You were right. Oh, this place. Oh, it'll be perfect for us. Hello, Arthur.
Speaker A
Dutch, Miss Grimshaw, Mr. Pearson, put everyone to work. Make this place a home. Well, I don't know where the hell we are, but we are going to make the best of it.
Speaker A
[music] [music] Say whatever you damn well please. But I tell you, if I don't get out of here soon, I'm going to kill somebody. And if you don't stop hissing at me, I'm going to kill you.
Speaker A
You come near me, sailor, and I'll slice you up. You put that knife down or you could be missing a hand.
Speaker A
What is wrong with you two? I ain't chopping vegetables for a living. Oh, I'm sorry, madam. Was there insufficient feathers in your pillow?
Speaker A
I ain't lazy, Mr. Morgan. I'll work, but not this. Well, ain't cooking work. My husband and I, we shared the work.
Speaker A
All of it. I was out in the fields. I can hunt, carry a knife, or use a gun.
Speaker A
But I tell you, you keep me here. I'll skin this fat old coot and serve him for dinner.
Speaker A
Your damn mouth, you crazy goddamn fish wife. [screaming] Enough. Both of you. Well, come with me then. You want to head out there, run with the man?
Speaker A
So be it. But we do more than just hunting. We're hunted. And them things hunting us, so they got guns of their own.
Speaker A
I ain't afraid of dying. Good. You need anything, Mr. Pearson? Maybe me and Mrs. Ed are going to take a little ride.
Speaker A
Yeah, sure. Here's my list. Then can you post this letter for me while you're there?
Speaker A
Sure. Come on, princess. Are you coming with me then, woman? So, I've graduated from chopping vegetables to shopping.
Speaker A
Shut your goddamn mouth. You cool down then yet? I guess I ain't no skull yet. And I sure as hell ain't taking orders from that sweat whit.
Speaker A
I guess we all got to do our share, princess. Where's the letter? Are you reading his mail now? Oh, Robin and Killllin's okay, but letter reading is where we draw the line.
Speaker A
[clears throat] Here, dear Aunt Kathy. You are something else. I haven't heard from you in some time.
Speaker A
So, I pray to the Lord above that your health has not deteriorated further. Blah blah blah. It's boring. Woo!
Speaker A
Wait a sec. Listen to this. Since we last corresponded, I have traveled widely, making no small name for myself.
Speaker A
Before you ask, I am still yet to take a wife, but I can assure you it's not for a lack of suitors. [laughter] You ever actually even talked to a woman he ain't paid for? A look, we're all
Speaker A
hiding behind something. And what's this? Return to Tacitus Kilgore. Oh, that now that's Dutch's idea. All males be sent to the same alias.
Speaker A
Whenever we set up somewhere new, Strauss, he heads into town. Tells him to start expecting mail from a Tacis Kilgore or whatever they changed it to.
Speaker A
Here, give me that back. We got work to do. Yeah. Damn preacher told me I need to find the Lord. Who's he think he is? Okay, here we are.
Speaker A
So, what's the plan? I shoot the shopkeeper while you No, you insane. I thought we was outlaws.
Speaker A
Outlaws? Not idiots. We rob fools and rob other people. These people, they're just trying to get by. So, you head on in there and you buy us some food to eat. No guns.
Speaker A
You sure? This time there'll be time for killing soon enough. What are you doing?
Speaker A
I'm going to go check the mail. Nothing exciting. Well, good morning, sir. Move out of the darn way.
Speaker A
What did you get there? Nothing. What do you mean? Come on. Things to do.
Speaker A
Can I help you, mister? Yes, I would like to post a letter. All right.
Speaker A
Okay. No trouble. Thank you. Bye now. more strength than you. My sister's newborn has more strength than you and he came out bright blue.
Speaker A
I'm trying. Try harder. I think this is everything. Thanks. Here, take that for yourself.
Speaker A
Okay. Thanks. Well, give it back then. Jesus. I didn't ask for his goddamn help.
Speaker A
Why don't you drive? Okay. Come on, lady. Get a move on. I like Satie, not lady.
Speaker A
I know. Yeah. So, you get everything? I think so. And some new clothes, I see.
Speaker A
Don't start. I can wear what I damn well want. Like I told you, my husband and I shared all the work. I wasn't some little wife with a flower in her hair baking cherry pies all day.
Speaker A
Yeah, I don't doubt that. You sure look the part now. Won't be long before you're smoking cigars and playing the harmonica.
Speaker A
I'll have you know I used to love playing the harmonica before well my house and everything I own got burned to the ground.
Speaker A
I know. I'm real sorry about what you uh you know maybe I'll keep my eye out for another one.
Speaker A
I don't want no pity. Just treat me equal and know nobody's taken nothing from me ever again.
Speaker A
Mhm. Just don't kill the camp cook. Please. Yeah. Hey there. Hey. What uh what you folks up to?
Speaker A
Just heading home. You're in le mo raider country. Keep it cool. You need to pay a toll to pass through here.
Speaker A
No, I don't think so. You don't think so? How about you pull over right now?
Speaker A
Pull over? That's what I said. Hey, how's about this? Go, go, go. [ __ ] Let's What the hell is that?
Speaker A
They was going to rob us. Prepare to pass. Think you're landing wreckage. Oh sh I'm going to run this son of a [ __ ] down.
Speaker A
[music] Well, you wanted to see some action, lady. Now you got your wish. Get behind this.
Speaker A
See, not many still standing now. You okay there, Shady? Of course. You think I can't handle these fools?
Speaker A
God damn you. Yeah, [screaming] you goddamn coward. I think we're good here, Arthur. Nice shooting. All right, I'll drive us back.
Speaker A
No. Pass those res here. Why? Because you've caused enough trouble already. I'm fine. Yep.
Speaker A
We showed those bastards, huh? Remind me not to get on your bad side. And they was clearly planning to bushwhack us.
Speaker A
You did good, but that's a lot of mess to make near camp. Hope it don't bring anyone sniffing around.
Speaker A
Are you going to tell Dudge? Maybe if he asks, but maybe not. Be careful now.
Speaker A
So, who did they say they were? Le Moy Raiders. Yeah, something like that. Who knows?
Speaker A
Anyway, don't you go ribbon Pierce about that letter. How dare you? I wouldn't dream of it.
Speaker A
Right. You wouldn't. I have traveled widely, making no small name for myself. I won't be giving you no mail to post anytime soon. That's for sure.
Speaker A
I just want to peek in that journal of yours. The mind bers. Not a chance.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah. Easy now. Arthur, you got us stuck. Yep. You didn't get yourself killed then, Miss Adler.
Speaker A
Not quite. Well, I'd like to say I missed your refined conversations, but I'd be lying.
Speaker A
I I enjoyed myself out there. Yes, we uh Mrs. Adler did okay at shopping.
Speaker A
Yes, at shopping. Thank you, Mr. Morgan. Don't mention it. I would ride with you again, Mrs. Adler, if you will ride with me.
Speaker A
Maybe if you prove you can handle yourself. Well, they say I lack finesse, but I ain't afraid of guns smoke.
Speaker A
We got this, Arthur. You've already done me a big favor today. Okay, Miss High and Mighty and nice pants, by the way.
Speaker A
Oh, shut up. Hello, Mr. Morgan. You like the new camp, Reverend? Oh, yes. We moved, didn't we?
Speaker A
How things? How you doing, old friend? Fine. It's funny us ending up down here. My daddy died in the field in Pennsylvania fighting this lot. I ever tell you that many times. I see I'm boring you, Arthur. Worrying me. We lost men back
Speaker A
there. We have lofty goals, Arthur. We're trying to reform society to a kinder, truer, better way. Now, of course, there's going to be casualties.
Speaker A
We're thieves in a world that don't want us no more. We are dreamers in an ever duller world of facts. Now, I'll give you that, but come on.
Speaker A
We got the day. It's nice out. Old Jose says that there's a creek around here. I reckon it's full of fit.
Speaker A
Hello. Hey, old girl. Come on down here. Why don't you show us this creek you've been pissing in?
Speaker A
Hey, you don't look too rosy, old friend. I thought this warmer weather would My days are looking good a long old Dutch.
Speaker A
Always dreamed crushing and bubble burst of you. Come on, Hosea. Let's go fishing. Come on then.
Speaker A
Why don't we just fish here? There's a whole lake of them because I need to get out for a bit. Me and the old guard before any of them back there. There was us. The curious couple and their unruly son.
Speaker A
It feels good here. You did well finding that spot, Arthur. More Charles for me.
Speaker A
It's like I can breathe again. Thick and soupy as this air is. Might even do your whistling pipes some good. Hosea, I was once in this country with Bessie.
Speaker A
Feels like a lifetime ago. It was a lifetime ago. But what a life we have lived. How well we have fought.
Speaker A
Especially both of you. I hope so. But now when things are desperate, we have to stick with the plan. Make enough money, then find somewhere where nobody will find us. But we don't have to hide. Uh, like where?
Speaker A
I got some ideas hatching, but I need you with me, not against me. Both of you, of course. Still, we do need money.
Speaker A
So, keep a low profile, especially in the local town. After Valentine, I want everyone on best behavior here. No trouble.
Speaker A
But start turning over the soil and the rocks. See what turns up. Dutch, we've got to be discreet.
Speaker A
Imagine what a slew of rich, simple tins there must be down here. This is perfect for you, Hosea. You'll be able to play them like a fiddle.
Speaker A
Nothing would give me greater pleasure, but no butts. Not today. We fish and we enjoy the day.
Speaker A
Looks like law up ahead. Playing cool. Whoa. Whoa. Hello, gentlemen. Well, look what the cat drug in.
Speaker A
I see. Well, well, look who it is. Quiet back there. Let's see if we can't sort this out.
Speaker A
How are you, boys? Fine. This is quite some country you have here. We like it well enough.
Speaker A
Hogy Macintosh at your service. Lee Gray. This is my deputy, Archer Bald McGregor. It is good to meet you. You a Scott?
Speaker A
Partly the best part, [laughter] of course. Now, tell me, sir, what did the silly fancy fop back there do? Nothing too terrible, I trust.
Speaker A
He was accused of running a gold mining investment scam. Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm sure he wasn't.
Speaker A
He is a magician. I know him. He's a fool, but he is not a bad fellow. Now, can we can we just I wouldn't do that if I were you. I [ __ ] The Anderson boys. I can't have
Speaker A
more scandal. Well, allow us to help, my friend. Arthur Chase wanted man and and take Archer Bald with you.
Speaker A
Just what I signed up for. Come on, big guy. Perhaps we can discuss the foolish magician.
Speaker A
Let's go after that train. Keep your guns holstered. We need them Anderson boys alive. Come on. Hurry.
Speaker A
All right. Come on. We're losing them. Will you relax? We're not losing them. Faster. Come on. What's your name, sir?
Speaker A
Arthur. Arthur Callahan. Faster. Mr. Callahan, please. My neck is on the line here. I get it. I'm doing my best. So, what do these fellas want it for? Looks like the son of a [ __ ] is going to make it. You sure I can't just
Speaker A
shoot him? No. Did I not say that? You said plenty. Protect me now. You all are a goddamn.
Speaker A
That must have hurt. Leave him. Stay with that train. The train is slowing down to go through the station. Now's our chance. Get to the side of the train.
Speaker A
Go through the barn. Hey, what are you doing? Stick to the side of the train. Get alongside that flat carriage. Watch out.
Speaker A
He's throwing bottles at us. You think you can jump on there? Hey, me. You bastard. I didn't do nothing.
Speaker A
Law, get off. Run. Don't let them get away. You're only making it worse. Running ain't going to help.
Speaker A
Come on, [ __ ] bag. No. Get after them. Bastard. That's fine. Damn bastard. Get the hell away from me.
Speaker A
Come on. You stop [music] them. I'll stop the train. They [music] ain't going to run.
Speaker A
I'm coming for you next. I'm going to ride ahead and stop the train. It's just us then, Law Man. Come here. Do we need to bother? Let me go. Can't do that.
Speaker A
Come on. Come on. Just don't kill him. He's just do him and we'll take him in. All right.
Speaker A
Try at least right out here if you need me. Waste of my time. Hello. Is everything all right in there?
Speaker A
Well, I don't think he's dead. I think I won the fight. Just about. [sighs] Bring him out here, deputy.
Speaker A
Sounded like quite a commotion. Is that him? I sincerely hope so. Old Anders Anderson.
Speaker A
So what now? Take him in. Come on. Fine job. Well done. And a pat on the back for me for stopping the train.
Speaker A
There you go. You are a natural. All right, let's take him in. Follow me.
Speaker A
What about the others? Oh, we'll round them up. Anders back there is the brains of the operation, and that's really saying something.
Speaker A
You're the boss. That was mighty impressive, sir. I have to admit, I'd hazard to guess you've served the law yourself at some point.
Speaker A
Well, I wouldn't exactly say that. Are you familiar with the area here? No, not really.
Speaker A
On your right here, these tobacco fields, this is part of Caliga Hall, big estate belonging to the Gray family.
Speaker A
Looks bone dry. Yes, we are in dire need of some rain around here. Let me tell you, the Grays have lived in Caliga Hall for generations. fine people. My family's been [music] working for them for years.
Speaker A
Sheriff Gray is the one I know best, of course, but they own half the businesses in town.
Speaker A
Which town road? Sir, you don't know it. Where we're headed right now ain't what it [music] was before the war, but it has its charms. I'm sure you already know of the Braith Weights.
Speaker A
Like I said, just got down here. Another big family in these parts. They have an estate west of here. Awful people. Truly awful. They've been fighting with the grays for as long as I can remember.
Speaker A
Sounds like quite the place you got here. We're going to bear [music] left here.
Speaker A
Here [music] we are. Welcome to Roads. Up there on your left is the Roads Parlor House.
Speaker A
Very reputable saloon owned by the Gray family. We also have a general store, gunsmith, post office, train station, of course.
Speaker A
What more do you need? Oh, good. They're back. And that's your friend right? Yep.
Speaker A
Okay, we're going to stop just ahead on the right outside the sheriff's office. Can you grab Anders off your horse and carry him in for me?
Speaker A
Carry him over, then? Hey, fellas. Mr. Gray, we got him. Very good. I told you Arthur would deliver. Man has a passion for justice.
Speaker A
That's wonderful. So, uh, about my friend here. Your idiot friend is free to go. But no more trouble from you, partner.
Speaker A
I promise you this was all just a big misunderstanding. However, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Speaker A
I'll pretend to appreciate that, Mr. Macintosh, it has been a real pleasure. The mostly good citizens of Roads, we welcome you.
Speaker A
Well, we're just honored to be here. And make your friend behave. We got enough trouble from some of the residents, oldtimers, who've gone sadly to seed and lost their dignity.
Speaker A
How terrible. Come along now. I will keep this fellow on the straight and narrow.
Speaker A
Well, [clears throat] come back and see us sometime soon. Excuse me, gentlemen. Bo, these better be ugly rumors. Is it true you were seen talking to that wretched Penelopey Braithweight?
Speaker A
I can't thank you enough. Where have you been? Around. And where are you staying?
Speaker A
I'm renting a caravan on the edge of town behind the church. It's horrible, but no one comes looking. The whole town is trapped in this interminable feud between the two families. His lot grays and Braithweights.
Speaker A
Interesting. two old plantation houses and falling out of rebel gold and marrying cousins or not marrying Arthur.
Speaker A
That's Jose. You start poking around. See what you can find out about that. I have missed you boys. I've heard about bounties.
Speaker A
Well, there's been a price on my head for 13 years. It'll take him months to find us down here. And it seems like we can have a little sport.
Speaker A
Well, they're good bounties. Where you hear this? Some fellas I met at a camp near the state line said there was talk of it in bars in the north and west for 500 miles. There was talk of super agents of some sort.
Speaker A
Super agents. I'd love to meet one. It's just talk. I'm sure it is, but I couldn't not tell you.
Speaker A
Stay out of trouble. Thank you, gentlemen. Okay, so these two plantation families, Arthur, you start sniffing around the Gray's place. See what the story is there.
Speaker A
Yeah, I passed by it earlier with our friend Archer Bald. Good. Hosea, you see what you can find out about these braith weights.
Speaker A
All right. Thank you, Arthur. Quite a fishing trip. There's still time. I'm up for it.
Speaker A
How about you, Arthur? Have you had enough of the chase for one day? Sure, why not?
Speaker A
Great. Hosea, why don't you lead us to that spot you were talking about? I kind of like this place.
Speaker A
Okay, let's see if we can avoid any more excitement. Not a stranger in town. talking about gold.
Speaker A
Really? Huh? Oh, well. All right, gentlemen. Follow me. Are you crazy? Something I haven't seen before.
Speaker A
So, how far is this creek? It's a bit of a ride still. And it's not a creek. It's the same lake we camped on, just a different pile. It'll be worth it. I saw some big drum and sturgeon there. Should be rock bass,
Speaker A
bluegills, perch, picker, too. It's a good spot. We'll see if you're as good at catching fish as you are at catching criminals. Arthur Trani owes me for that.
Speaker A
Trlani owes everyone for something, but his information is good. Plus, we are now ingratiated with the local law. I'd say it [music] was a worthwhile diversion all around.
Speaker A
Hello there. Fon is like a bad penny. I'm not sure how good a magician he is, but he's certainly good at disappearing when he feels like it.
Speaker A
Where does he go? Everywhere and nowhere, it seems. We wouldn't have got Shawn back if he hadn't been weasling around down that way though.
Speaker A
Hey, Dutch, remember that time you found him in the outhouse? [laughter] Oh, yeah. We hadn't seen him in weeks.
Speaker A
We stopped in some dead end town in the middle of nowhere. Don't even remember the name.
Speaker A
You and Bill were [music] off doing something Arthur. So, we pick up some supplies. I go to relieve myself, open the door, and there's Trrellani sitting there, newspaper in hand. Mr. Vanderlin, I say, "What the hell are you doing here?" And
Speaker A
he said, "I could ask you the same thing. Now, if you wouldn't mind giving me a little privacy, I ate a rotten oyster.
Speaker A
[laughter] Hey, maybe there are actually 100 salonis. What a terrible thought. So, you're going back to see that Sheriff Greg?
Speaker A
Yeah. I don't see why not. They don't know who we are down here. He didn't seen the sharpest attacks.
Speaker A
Neither did that deputy. If he thinks we can be useful to him, he can certainly be useful to us. A little hiding in plain sight.
Speaker A
I feel like we're always hiding in plain sight. This is the spot down to the left there.
Speaker A
Easy. I saw some boats around last time. Be good to get to deeper water.
Speaker A
Yes, over there on the shore. Easy. I'm sure nobody would mind if we borrowed one of these. Come on.
Speaker A
All right, this looks like a fine vessel. Okay, come on, Arthur. Let's get her in the water.
Speaker A
I got a good feeling about fishing here. You're supposed to be some incredible sturgeon.
Speaker A
Okay, here we go. Let me roll. You boys are too old for real labor no more.
Speaker A
You're too dumb for anything else. [laughter] You're still too quick for me, old man.
Speaker A
I enjoy picking on children. Now take us to the deeper water and pray for good luck and stupid fish.
Speaker A
What about stupid luck and good fish? That'll do, too. Keep going. I think here's good.
Speaker A
All right. Good luck, gentlemen. Should really come here at dawn or dusk. That's when you catch the best fish. We should use a lake lure. That'll give us a much better chance.
Speaker A
Looking something big like a sturgeon. What's wrong with a good old worm? Oh, worms are good for tidlers like bluegill and rock bass, but you'd have to be real lucky to catch a sturgeon with one.
Speaker A
Learn as it is. Then, you heard the expert, Arthur. Let's bait up. Keep the lure moving slowly on the water so it looks like a little fish just asking to be eaten.
Speaker A
Got a nibble there, Arthur. That's on the hook, Arthur. Hey, look at this beauty. There you go.
Speaker A
Well done, Arthur. They can grow a lot bigger than that. Flet told me he once saw a monster lake sturgeon near the mouth of the river just southwest of Saint Deni. 50 pounder, he reckoned.
Speaker A
I would like to see that. Hey, Josea, you remember that time we sent Arthur out fishing? He came back with three beautiful bass.
Speaker A
Not this again. I don't think I do. Oh yeah, you do. He was maybe 20. 21.
Speaker A
Walked in all full of himself. We had a big feast. Toasted him all night. This was 15 years ago.
Speaker A
I remember now. Then the next week, Arthur and I are at the market and Fishmonger calls out, "So, how did you enjoy those bass?" [laughter] Look, you can fish or you can go drinking all day, rob someone, and buy
Speaker A
some fish. I should have had that one. Well done. There. Hook them. I used to go fishing with this fell back in the day. Wesley, his name was real miserable bastard, but he loved to fish.
Speaker A
We go out all the time. But one day we were river fishing when we see a funeral procession going over the bridge. And out of the blue, Wesley stands up, takes off his hat, bows his head. Then he sits
Speaker A
down, picks his rod back up, and carries on. Doesn't say a word. So, I'm a little surprised and say, "Wesley, that was nice of you." He replies, "Well, felt I had to. After all, I was married to her
Speaker A
for 30 years." Oh, there he is. Oh, dear God. I might swim to shore.
Speaker A
Now, reel him in, Arthur. Good job, Arthur. Remember those big salmon I caught in Montana last year? We had a banquet planned that night until Kappa went and scoffed a lot.
Speaker A
You never had control of that dog. Uh, he had some spirit though. Never lost the puppy in him right to the end.
Speaker A
You know, I remember us saying how Blackwater was the furthest east we'd ever been. As a group, I mean, feels like the more we try to head west, the further east we end up.
Speaker A
We had all those safe spots picked out to lie low in New Austin after the ferry job. I liked it there. Still open and wild, the way it should be. Somehow the desert makes you feel closer to the sky.
Speaker A
No point us trying to get back that way anytime soon. Pinkertons have patrols out all over tall trees and great plains. We saw when we went back for Shawn. Well, look at us now, huh? It could be worse. Plans change. That's
Speaker A
just how life goes. Nicely done, Arthur. Did I ever tell you my mother's buried in Blackwater?
Speaker A
Really? She is? Apparently. So, I I only found out from an uncle of mine years later. Last I knew, she was still outside Philadelphia.
Speaker A
I left home at 15 and didn't see her again. She and I didn't always see eye to eye.
Speaker A
I wasn't always a very obedient child. I can only imagine. Still, I loved her in my own way. And she, me, in hers. Somehow, even from the grave, she managed to have the last laugh. Got one.
Speaker A
You got something biting, Arthur. Not bad, Arthur. Oh, Arthur's pleased with that one. Hey, I reckon we call it a day, fell already. You ain't been chasing down outlaws.
Speaker A
All right, I think we got a decent hall here. Pearson will be happy. Should we head back?
Speaker A
We could keep the boat. Not too far back to camp from here. Good idea. Could be useful.
Speaker A
What about the horses? Well, they'll find their way back. Just follow the shore south, Arthur.
Speaker A
That was fun. Thank you, boys. Now, Josea. Yes. How about a song? Okay. Uh, all right. I got one for you. I ask that girl to give me some.
Speaker A
I ask that girl to give me some. She says, "Wait till the ters is done." I couldn't wait till the tails were done.
Speaker A
I couldn't wait till the t was done. Throw her on the floor and knocked off some.
Speaker A
I wish to God pass her by. I wish to God I pass her by and so did I.
Speaker A
That was that was pretty good. But you know what song we should be singing?
Speaker A
What? Well, look at us. Three mariners. Ah, of course. Well, we free for mariners newly come from the seas. We spend our lives in jeopardy while others live at ease. Shall we go dance around?
Speaker A
We go dance this round. There is a bully boy on his ground. We care not for the marshall men that do our states disdain, but we care for the merchant men that do our states maintain. To them we dance this round
Speaker A
around. To them we dance this round around. Heard is a bully boy. Come place me on this ground.
Speaker A
Ground ground. Oh bravo. Bravo. Well, you know, we should not let the folks back think that we did not.
Speaker A
All right. I think I mean we going to be okay. I know. But I always know whenever I got you two by my side, things are going to be just fine.
Speaker A
This place will be good for us for now anyway. I hope so. Well, I am going to take in the view.
Speaker A
I'll give these fish to Pearson. Ah, hair Morgan. Hairst. How are you enjoying yourself here?
Speaker A
Well enough, I guess. And you? Well, it turns out the pursuit of freedom is not a cheap business. Not for us and not for some of the locals.
Speaker A
Sharking already. I prefer to call it banking. You ain't the one handing out the beatings.
Speaker A
No, but I am the one feeding the women and children in the camp. What choice should we have, Mr. Morgan?
Speaker A
I don't know. Well, come on then. Tell me who. Here's the list. Refinery worker turned hunter by the name of Venton Holmes.
Speaker A
You'll find him up in the hills north of Strawberry. Ah, an apprentice undertaker. This one working in rows.
Speaker A
His name was Gwen Hughes. And how many of them do you think will be able to pay with enough encouragement? Both of them.
Speaker A
Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Anyone move? I go blink before I shoot you. Hurry up. Whoa. Hey, don't Get out of here.
Speaker A
Boy, you ain't going to live this through here. Heat. Heat. Still don't look quite right.
Speaker A
When use start picking out a box for yourself if you don't got that money you owe Leopold Strauss.
Speaker A
I I don't I I need more time. Doesn't everybody that casket for you or you want another?
Speaker A
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I I I can get it for you. But um Well uh come with me to the churchyard and stay close. H All right.
Speaker A
Oh, this ain't right. I I mean, I I'll get you your money, but uh Well, you'll see.
Speaker A
What ain't right is borrowing money you can't pay back. I guess I guess I guess you're correct.
Speaker A
But uh this it ain't exactly right what we're doing. You ain't the first to put his hand in the collection box, and you won't be the last.
Speaker A
rest a little easier knowing church has been taking more than they need off poor folks since time began.
Speaker A
Well, like I said, well, the morality of the matter is a little more confusing than that.
Speaker A
[sighs] Okay, you head on in the church. I'll keep watch. Well, it ain't in there. It's under here.
Speaker A
I'm digging up Mrs. Clay pole. Jesus. Well, she got a bunch of jewels in there that she don't need.
Speaker A
Oh, damn it. There's a bunch of people here. Oh, I got it. I got it. Look, you clear them off and I'll wait right around here. But don't hurt nobody. We don't want no fuss.
Speaker A
Don't be shy. Ain't no one around. You two might want to find somewhere a little more private.
Speaker A
We was fine until you got here, mister. Good day now. Get out of here, kids. Move.
Speaker A
Come on. I knew we shouldn't have been here. You missed your chance, boy. Ma'am, would you mind clearing out of here for some maintenance work? Oh, gladly. It's about time this place got cleaned up.
Speaker A
It's all clear. All right. Now, go watch the gate. I'll get to this uh examation.
Speaker A
[music] Sorry, Church grounds are closed. Okay. It's uh good of you to be doing it out of hours, I guess. I'll come back in the morning.
Speaker A
Ain't nothing doing in this town. That's for sure. There's them that's born to it. There's everyone else.
Speaker A
Uhhuh. That's how it is. Things was done on merit. You and me be running things. Sure would.
Speaker A
Hey, look. We're closed for some um excavation work. Would you mind? No, I ain't going to mind you at all.
Speaker A
You carry on with your business. We'll carry on with ours. This fell. O damn choir boy.
Speaker A
Get the hell out of this churchyard. Are you boys going to need yourselves a preacher? You hear this fell? I heard him. All right. We're going to lick you back.
Speaker A
I'm going to beat you, boy. [groaning] You're going to get [cough] you going. Avoid me.
Speaker A
[ __ ] Hope this hole's dug. Last call for find me. All right. Well, here's your payment.
Speaker A
Oh, forgive me. Mrs. Claypole, what'd you find? But she had a brooch here. Looks like diamonds.
Speaker A
Well, this will do. Now, get out of here before someone sees you. Can't believe it's come to this.
Speaker A
All right. Well, uh, I'm out of here. That That's more than than clear what I what I owe you.
Speaker A
Huh? You need a ride somewhere? Can I get a ride? Where too, friend? Can I get a ride to Strawberry, please?
Speaker A
Okay, just preparing you. We're in for a ride and a half. Let's go. Hold her up.
Speaker A
Well, here we are. And my ass isn't too flattened either. Thanks for the ride, partner.
Speaker A
Come on, girl. How are you? [snorts] [snorts] Winh homes. I didn't expect to run into no one out here.
Speaker A
Funny how far a man's debts will follow him. You got some money for me, boy. I've seen your name in our ledger.
Speaker A
You're with the German? Look, I got it for you. It's just I don't got it yet. It It's up in them hills.
Speaker A
You panning for it? Hunting it. I tracked this cougar. It's rare. Lilywack coat. The pel to moore and cover what I owe.
Speaker A
If I'm skinning anything, I'm skinning you boy. Please. I'm out of work. It's the only way you'll get paid. And all the hard work's already done.

Speaker A
All right. Drive, boy. Let's get where we're going. Drive. Okay. Follow me. Drive. I'm driving.
Speaker A
Make me come out here. Make me chase all over this goddamn mountain. Hey, you knew it was a risk.
Speaker A
I didn't know nothing. Your name is all I knew. Well, the German speakaking fellow then, Mr. Strauss, he knew my work situation was precarious. That this whole thing was a a risky venture.
Speaker A
Wait, risky? Am I at risk now? Are you threatening me, Wininton Holmes? I ain't. No, certainly not, sir. I'm I'm merely stating a man without a job with limited prospects at those rates.
Speaker A
Repayment was by no means guaranteed. I said I'd do my best and I did.
Speaker A
You're continuing to annoy me. We're going right here up the stream. Hey, how about this then? I guarantee the payment cuz I'm going to get that money out of you. I got to squeeze you like a lemon. It's coming out.
Speaker A
Yeah, of course. We're on to it now. Okay, we're on to it now. The cash is in that cougar, mister. Sure as pumpkins ain't cauliflowers. The cash is in that cougar.
Speaker A
It better be or I'll turn you into a goddamn cauliflower up here. We ain't too far. Now, what I know about cats, this one's rare as hens teeth. I mean, you ever seen an alabaster wild cat?
Speaker A
Big thing about cougars is they see you, not the other way around. That may be, but you'd see this one. I've been hunting with my pie. Shot all kinds of cats. Never one like this. In another life, I'd have sought my fortune
Speaker A
outdoors. Not in the hot stinking belly of a tar pit. I ain't interested in your regrets or your life story, Mr. Holmes. Just your damn money.
Speaker A
Drive. This is it. Her den. We should leave the horses. Easy. All right, show me.
Speaker A
You'll see her soon. Quiet now. Won't be able to miss her shining in the dark.
Speaker A
You hear that? There's a cougar in here. And I bet she's white as virgin cotton.
Speaker A
The tunnel diverges up here. I'll take the left, you go right, and we'll see if we don't converge down a ways.
Speaker A
And look out for her. Yeah. Yeah. H homes went home. There's a corpse down here.
Speaker A
An old one. Don't mess around with me, boy. [music] Another body. [music] How much is this cougar eating?
Speaker A
[music] She got crap. Damn dead. Wow. Heat. Heat. Aless idiot. That's it. Gotcha. Hellcat.
Speaker A
It's white. Better be rare. Get out of here, horse. Your man ain't coming. Okay.
Speaker A
Yep. Yep. Yeah. Heat. Heat. All right. Yep. I feel worth. Yeah. Looking to sell your wares or buy some of the finest meat to ever grace this town?
Speaker A
pretty standard pair these days. Thanks. Yep. Damn. You ever let this horse feed? I got space for you if you need Stalin.
Speaker A
Goodbye now. And bring that horse back in. It's good to be warm. Sure. Look who it is.
Speaker A
Of course. Of course. And here is my dear friend Arthur Callahan. Boy is a hunter.
Speaker A
Boy is a killer. Arthur, you've met but not been introduced to Mr. Oh, I'm so sorry. Sheriff, how are you doing, sir? I'm fine.
Speaker A
Tough business you boys had. We did. Well, there's no need to pretend with me, sir. Life can be tough.
Speaker A
So it can. And no man owes another anything. No, sir. But still, I feel you were hard done by losing your employment like that. But still, here in roads, we have work enough for honest men. [snorts] That's some strong stuff. Still don't
Speaker A
seem to be doing you any harm, I guess. Exactly. Excuse me a moment. I told you we was moving up in this world. Deputies, you [clears throat] have finally lost your mind.
Speaker A
Amongst these drunkards, hillbillies, and slavers, good, honest thieves like us, we're bound to be moralizers in a place like this. Oh, Sheriff Gray, you are back.
Speaker A
Now, listen, sir. There is shine in them woods, though, and it is costing this county its good name and the state a whole lot of income. You boys wouldn't mind written it out. Maybe we'll make you permanent.
Speaker A
I got to set me down a second. Not a problem, sir. Not a problem at all. You are in safe hands now.
Speaker A
And people waste time with the temperance movement. Liquor never dulled a good man's senses.
Speaker A
Arthur, you ride with the deputy. Bill and I will follow. Climb on up. Let's go.
Speaker A
Come on. We need to get moving. Whoa. Are you getting all in? Mister, why aren't you getting on the wagon?
Speaker A
Archbald, how are you? Pretty good. And your friend is behaving himself. Oh, yes. I think he's learned his lesson.
Speaker A
Congratulations on becoming a temporarily deputized citizen of Scarlet Meadows County. Most towns just get bounty hunters to do their dirty work these days, but Sheriff Gray believes the law should keep the law. Now, I'm sure I don't need to remind you there's
Speaker A
a chain of command here. There is dang straight there is. This is a dangerous business, but follow my lead and you'll be just fine.
Speaker A
Sure. Hey, Archbald wants to remind us he's in charge here. Of course. Who else would be? But you were a big help with them Anderson boys and I put in a very good word with the sheriff on your behalf.
Speaker A
We appreciate that. We rounded up the others soon after. I'm pushing for the rope myself, but that's by the by.
Speaker A
So these moonshiners, not just any moonshiners, Braithweights. I told you about the Braithw Weights.
Speaker A
Pretty sure you did. Old Cotton family had a fortune at one point until well few changes in the labor laws. Now they're dealing in moonshine. We found their stills hidden all over Le Moine.
Speaker A
Quick as we destroy one, another one pops up. You could call it a pitiful fall from grace. If they had any grace to start with.
Speaker A
I have no time for tax dodgers. Not to mention the fact that Catherine Braithweight has a rather expensive interest in thoroughbred horses to maintain.
Speaker A
But I heard something about it being gold these families were fighting over. Well, that's the rumor. But the Grays and the Braithweights think the others stole a fortune from them. But it happened so long ago, I don't know for
Speaker A
sure if it's true. Must be tough being rich, huh? [laughter] So, I imagine that badge rather suits you, Mr. W.
Speaker A
Yes, I thought so, too. Does it feel good to be back at it serving your country?
Speaker A
I wouldn't go that far. Whoa. Whoa. Hold up. You see that wagon? Oh. These damn flies.
Speaker A
I swear they got it in for me. You could try washing once in a while.
Speaker A
Keep your eyes open. Oh, this must have happened recently. Hey, come have a look at this.
Speaker A
Let's just move on. Look. Suit and tie. One bullet cleaned through the forehead. Well, my money says this is the handiwork of a gang called the Le Moine Raiders.
Speaker A
Yeah, I've run into them. Let's see if we've got any identification. Okay, we should get going.
Speaker A
I'll send someone over here later to clean this up. Would you mind taking the rings? I want to have a look at these papers.
Speaker A
Sure. I'll direct you. Okay. Frederick Mitchell, Le Moine state legislator. Poor fell. Yes, this certainly smacks of the raiders to me. Bunch of ex army free stator without an ounce of respect for the law. That's seven government officials they've murdered this year
Speaker A
alone. Yep. Not the nicest fells in my experience. Well, and I know the Braithweights are in business with them. No shame. Trash begets trash. My uncle Regginald used to say, he had a few stories, let me tell you. Town preacher and town sheriff,
Speaker A
could drink a sailor under the table before breakfast. He had one tiny hand like a child on the end of a grown man's arm. But anyway, this tells you what kind of people the Braithweights are selling moonshine to murderers. Go right
Speaker A
at the crossroads. I tell folks, don't even speak to them. Don't even look him in the eye.
Speaker A
I'm sure I wouldn't. Bear ride again here. Heat. Heat. Here we are. So, what was I saying?
Speaker A
Something about the Braith weights, I think. Even saying that word makes me sick. Now, anyone we find here, we bring in alive. Understood? Round them up and take this operation down for good. Come on. Let's see what we're dealing with.
Speaker A
See, see what did I tell you boys? What did I say? I said this place was crawling with vermin and we just found ourselves the rats nest. Our excellence as they say in Paris. My aunt, she went to Paris back in 78.
Speaker A
How are you going to handle this? Well, the way I actually let my friend here decide. He doesn't have your fine way with words, but he is definitely the man for the job. Let's split up. Arthur and Bill, me
Speaker A
and Archal. You boys want right or left? We'll take the left. Let's stop these filthy degenerate tax dodgers. The chief is out. A fine idea.
Speaker A
Remember what he said. We need them alive. Let's just knock them out and tie them up.
Speaker A
Got it. Pretty well. See one by the bridge over there. Think you take this one, Bill?
Speaker A
With pleasure. [music] Oh. Good work, gentlemen. Just drop him with the others. I think that's it. Well, what do we do now?
Speaker A
We better destroy all this. Any of your boys can handle explosives? Sure. Anyone but him. Oh, you think you're real funny, don't you?
Speaker A
Tell me about you. That is the last time I'll mention it. I swear. Hey, that belongs to the Le Raiders. You sons of [ __ ] Arthur, we got some trouble here.
Speaker A
Son of a [ __ ] You bastard. Where's that? Where did these sons of [ __ ] [music] come from?
Speaker A
We're putting We're taking [music] There's more coming up from those huts. Out of here [music] by those. Let's clear them out.
Speaker A
[ __ ] today. Boy, if you're lucky. Can't wait to hear you b. [music] I don't see anymore. Do you?
Speaker A
No. Let's find Dutch and get out of here. Fine by me. Come on, Arthur. I'd rather not be here when our friends notice the shine's gone.
Speaker A
All right, I'll see you over there. Ow. Ow. Well done. [laughter] Well, forgive me, but me and my men must return to our lives. Ah, seems like we failed to destroy the last of the moonshine.
Speaker A
Sure. Would you like us to? Well, I normally take it for personal consumption. It's sort of part of the job, but I better get back home. Why don't I just take a jug or two and leave you boys the rest to show that there's no
Speaker A
hard feelings on account of the war. We are all Americans. Of course, my cousin Webster, he used to say some of us is not as American as others, if you know what I mean. Only I didn't quite.
Speaker A
Come on, you degenerate no good white trash hillbilly piece of scum. I know you, Billy Lime. You've always been a piece of crap.
Speaker A
Come on, move it. We have a life on a land so stupid. A backwater so backwards that even we are like geniuses.
Speaker A
[laughter] Bill, get this stuff out of here. Come on. You ride with me. Okay.
Speaker A
Should I stash this somewhere near Campb? Yes. Show it to Hosea. I'm sure he can find a use for it. Bit of trouble back there Arthur.
Speaker A
Ain't there always? From what they was yelling, I think they were the buyers. Old Archeal didn't ask too many questions, so neither should we. I ain't planning to. That was worth the effort, though. Deputized and hiding in plain
Speaker A
sight. These law men, these two families. I mean, I really think we can play this from all sides. It's got Hosea written all over it. This is starting to sound like the young Dutch again.
Speaker A
What do you mean, young Dutch? I'm as strong as I have ever been. Hey, you know what? Why don't I race you back?
Speaker A
Okay, you're on. That's the spirit. Okay, on my word. Set. Go. You never were much of a rider. We'll see about that.
Speaker A
Anytime you want to stop for a breather, you let me know. [music] It's okay.
Speaker A
Final stretch. You really think you can hold that lead? No doubt. It's sad to think back to you in your prime.
Speaker A
Yeah. [music] I never knew you were quite so good at running away, Arthur. I never knew age had slowed you down quite so much.
Speaker A
Well, time is a bastard. When you get to be my age, well, you'll know that better than anything. Be well. I had fun with you today. You're I was going to say you're like a son to me.
Speaker A
But you're more than that. What do you want? Just hear the gray plantation. Yep. Sheriff's orders. He wanted me to have a word with some folk on the property. I'm recently deputized. You see?
Speaker A
Deputized. And I suppose Lee was drunk when he did it. Look, you can come in, but you ain't talking with me.
Speaker A
Obliged. Hey, can you talk? I look like I can talk. You want a talker? Try Bo Gray out by the storehouses.
Speaker A
Man won't lift a hand, but sure can move his lips. Hello mister. Huh? I'll see you at the sheriff's office.
Speaker A
Excuse me, friend. We friends? Not yet, but here's hoping. I guess we don't get a lot of traveling men here. And suddenly there's a whole failank of mysterious but strangely helpful Yankees about the place.
Speaker A
Is there? What are you doing here? I was just looking for work. Well, looking for something. Don't worry, your secret's safe with me.
Speaker A
What secret? I got a secret of my own. You're secretly normal. Excuse me. Never mind.
Speaker A
The thing is, I don't care if you kill the whole lot of us and the Braithweights.
Speaker A
I don't want to kill anyone. I love her, you know. Of who? Penelope. But it's impossible.
Speaker A
Love tends to be complicated. She's a Braithweight. I'm Bo Gray, son of Tavis Gray, nephew of Lee Gray, the sheriff, grandson of old Murdo Gray, we grays have been loyal to the state and murderers to the Braithweights for so
Speaker A
long now, no one can even quite explain why. Beyond blind loyalty and stupidity, I'm supposed to be loyal to some nonsense. While she she's amazing. She's like a woman from the future. She's like tomorrow if tomorrow turns out fine.
Speaker A
Well, I'm sorry for your predicament. Would you help? I don't want to get involved. Gang feuds seems unseammly.
Speaker A
I'll pay. I've got money. We graze. We've always got money. No brains mine but money.
Speaker A
Well, in that case, I know she loves to sit out in the gazebo on the edge of the Braithweight property. Take her this letter and this bracelet please.
Speaker A
Oh, look out for their guards. They're worse with strangers than ours are. I think you better follow.
Speaker A
Yeah. [music] Heat. You can't be here. Heat. Heat. [laughter] Are you Penelopey Braithweight? Well, yes, I am.
Speaker A
I've got a letter for you. Oh, and a gift. A letter and a gift. Well, we don't even know each other.
Speaker A
Well, it's not from me. It's from uh from B. Oh, he is so strange.
Speaker A
Yes, he's a little strange, but also so human. The rest of our families are stuck in the dark ages or well, I don't know, cave people perhaps. B's different. But if they find out, they'll kill him and send me to live someplace
Speaker A
awful like Ohio. Have you ever been to Ohio, sir? No. Well, neither have I. But my uncle has a factory there. He was sort of the black sheep on account of having left, but now they tolerate him because he's a vicious
Speaker A
snob. Families are are there's something else. You got a family, sir? No, not really.
Speaker A
Well, they tolerate him because of the money, but me with my ideas above my station, they can't stand.
Speaker A
That sounds pretty complicated. I I don't know quite what to say. Well, nothing to say except I hope they all rot.
Speaker A
I don't. Uh, well, maybe a bit, but here. If you see B again, will you give this to him?
Speaker A
Sure. Yeah. Boom. [clears throat] You got my money? Sure. Did she give anything for me?
Speaker A
Yes. Might I have it? Sure, but it'll cost you. Uh, I can't be bothered. Here, take it.
Speaker A
Oh, thank you, Arthur. You'll Thank you. My god, what a woman. She's This will get her killed for sure.
Speaker A
What? Women's suffrage around here. They don't even like men voting. They'd bring back the monarchy given half the chance.
Speaker A
Progress is a dirty word in these parts. Unlike incest. Excuse me. I don't want to marry my cousin Matilda.
Speaker A
I want to marry Penelope. But they're going to they'll kill her at one of those rallies there, Holden.
Speaker A
They've done it before. Mr. You got to help. No, I'm afraid I don't want no part of it.
Speaker A
I'll pay my family. We still got some money. [sighs] Fine. Just no more running around with letters.
Speaker A
Thank you. Come on. We better get going up. All right. And follow me to roads.
Speaker A
Come on. Come on. We'll go around the property and take the road to town.
Speaker A
Easy, boy. Calm down. I can't be calm. If we don't get there in time, my true love may be shot.
Speaker A
If she wants to rally, you got to let her rally. Well, good as the cause is, I can't let her become a m to [music] it. I want to marry a flesh and blood woman, not a statue in her honor.
Speaker A
I'm sure they know what they're doing. There. There they are. Ladies, Bo, what are you doing here?
Speaker A
I cannot let you go through with this. You'll be killed. I'm prepared to die for the cause, Bo.
Speaker A
You know that. Do something. Please do what? Fight this marble. We must begin. Leaving me alive.
Speaker A
This is no laughing matter, sir. They need protecting from certain elements. What now? Mostly my family. Penelope. I beg you.
Speaker A
I'll tell you what. Your friend here can drive the wagon for us. It'll allow us to shout all the louder.
Speaker A
Hooray. Miss Calhoun. Miss Calhoun. My friend here says he can drive the wagon. Well, Olive Calhoun. Normally, I like to drive myself, but today I feel like a man joining us sends the right message.
Speaker A
Well, I ain't never been in a protest march before, madam. Well, just treat us like the sheep and the folks attacking us like the wolves, and I'm sure you feel right at home.
Speaker A
Shall we go? All right, ladies. [sighs] We know our song is a good one and we know our cause is a pure one.
Speaker A
Yes, ma'am. Let liberty rain. [cheering and screaming] We're mothers, wives, housekeepers, and daughters. We cook now.
Speaker A
Take us down Main Street, right through town to the steps of the bank of roads.
Speaker A
Mr. What was your name? Martha Morgan. Very good, Mr. Morgan. Not too quick and not too slow. We need them to hear our voice. Well, they'll hear it. All right.
Speaker A
Very good. Very good. Mr. Morgan, are you an old friend of the movement? I'm just a driver. Mrs. Calhoun. Maybe a shotgun messenger if it comes to it.
Speaker A
I hope it won't. Well, our message will be delivered peaceibly, Mr. Morgan. You can keep your shotgun to yourself. Stay on Main Street. Uh, it's a left up here, Mr.
Speaker A
Morgan. Look at these people. It's about to get exciting. I can feel it. I believe they might be right.
Speaker A
Good day, Sheriff. I just make sure it's a peaceful assembly. Oh, do give it a rest, you sorry fool.
Speaker A
Mr. I give you the mail of the species. That's a pretty dumb specimen of grass.
Speaker A
Take us just a little further, please. This spot is fine, sir. Ladies, go home. Shut your mouth.
Speaker A
Cause all this trouble. Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is a great day for all of us.
Speaker A
For today is the day we begin to live as equal. Equals. Yes, [screaming] equal, sir. Fair and equal.
Speaker A
This is unnatural. This is nonsense. [cheering] Fair, equal, and free. Just as the founding fathers intended.
Speaker A
Founding fathers, not founding mothers. You silly old goat. You tell philosophy dependent on biology.
Speaker A
What the hell are you doing here, boy? Keep your voice down. I'm trying to listen to this speech.
Speaker A
Hello, darling cousin. Don't you ever speak to me like that. What are you doing here? Listening, I suppose.
Speaker A
Go help Bo. His cousin is a [ __ ] Stop them from ruining the speech.
Speaker A
You learn yourself some manners, cousin. Haven't you got anything better to do? Oh, you always was little.
Speaker A
Weren't we just leaving? So proud. Who the [laughter] hell is this? You speak harsh.
Speaker A
Follow me, Ronnie. Oh, what? You'll hit me? Come on, sir. Can you not see how idiotic you are?
Speaker A
Come on, Bo. Let's go quick. Now we are all We got to go before they think twice. Oh lord.
Speaker A
Follow me. I know a place. It's an old battlefield. No one goes to a land of equality. A land of progress.
Speaker A
Look at the beautiful land we have built. You don't want to go back and hear the speeches.
Speaker A
I ain't voted before, but kind of getting hot from voting rights. I don't know whether to take you seriously, Mr. Morgan. My cousins are my primary concern right now. If everyone knows about Penelope and me, everyone knows about Penelope and you. I
Speaker A
know about Penelope and you. And I've been here all of 10 minutes. Sooner it's out, sooner it's resolved.
Speaker A
The sooner it's dealt with. You mean we're dealt with our families, the Grays and the Braithweights. We bury our secrets and we bury them deep.
Speaker A
Your secrets and your treasure. You know, Katherine Braithweight's got a daughter. No one's seen her in years.
Speaker A
She worried. Yeah. And Penelopey said, "I I ain't heard about daughters. I heard about gold." But Yankee gold? I feel that's just a story, Mr. Morgan. I don't know.
Speaker A
[music] This is awful. Nobody died. It ain't that awful. My cousins are vindictive bastards.
Speaker A
[music] My brothers are vindictive bastards. My cousins are worse. They started it. I know. But you should leave.
Speaker A
I will. As soon as I have enough money. When my family We have money. But I don't. Is your family very rich?
Speaker A
Yes. Well, I believe so, but uh they keep me out of the discussions. I have more of a artistic temperament. So, well, is that what they call it?
Speaker A
Yes. Oh, you made a joke. I really love her. I do. Well, stick around. Maybe you can die for her as well.
Speaker A
I thought you were trying to make me feel better. Look, I got to go.
Speaker A
Me, too. Oh, damn. I'm going to be late. My uncle is quite as bad as you would imagine. Here, your payment. Thank you.
Speaker A
Excuse me. Yeah, I like that. That's fun. Hey, Arthur. What's going on? Jose and John are looking for you. They went out to the moonshine stash. Said you knew where that was. They was planning a visit to the Breathway place,
Speaker A
but John needs to do something for Dutch now. So, Hosea wants you to join him instead.
Speaker A
Seems to be a lot going on. You're telling me. Okay. Thank you. Okay, my girl.
Speaker A
Yep. Hey, Arthur. What are you doing? Selling it back to where it came from.
Speaker A
Why? I ain't got a market for it. They made it. They must have someone to sell it to.
Speaker A
Stuff look kind of lonely out here. I think we'll cut ourselves a deal. I get you. You and Dutch was just doing your duty when you requisitioned it. Now I'm doing mine.
Speaker A
All right, I should get going now. I'll leave you fellas to it. Good luck.
Speaker A
Thank you, Jack. We'll see you later. Dutch asked him to look into something to do with the Braithweight horses, I think.
Speaker A
Sure. Okay. Okay. Let's head out to the Braithweight's place. You know the way? Yeah, I've been there. So, what exactly are we doing? This is the moonshine we took after blowing up the Braithweight still right?
Speaker A
I think the good citizens taking the trouble to return their stolen goods deserve some reward, don't you? Then it's time we made a formal introduction like Dutch told us.
Speaker A
Look, these are two big old plantation houses [music] and all I keep hearing is they hate each other so much they can't see past it.
Speaker A
I know. I've seen it. There's a gray boy and a Braithweight girl carrying on a secret affair. I've been well helping.
Speaker A
The mind boggles. You think they're of use? Not sure. They don't seem too involved in the rest of it, but maybe.
Speaker A
Well, I'm sure there's money in this for us somewhere if we can get in the middle of it.
Speaker A
Yeah. Heat. Here [music] [music] we are. Modest little homestead, isn't it? Hello, gentlemen. How are you? What's that in the back there?
Speaker A
Moonshine, my fine fellow, may I have a word with the man of the house?
Speaker A
The man of the house is a lady, Mrs. Catherine Braithweight. May I speak with her? I want to discuss a business opportunity. I mean, no harm.
Speaker A
No harm at all. You may happily shoot me if I do. Okay. Okay. Well, she's out the house.
Speaker A
We'll be watching you. You heard the man. Driver, proceed, please. What you want? Found something out in the hills.
Speaker A
Thought thought maybe you was in the market for it. For what? Some liquor. I ain't in the market for what's already mine. The way we see it, it's ours. Well, with us possessing it, and I I checked all over.
Speaker A
For the life of me, I couldn't see your name on it. Oh, relax. I ain't here to rob you. Oh, it seems that's easy enough. Why don't I do a deal? What do you sell that stuff for?
Speaker A
Dollar a bottle. You give us 50 cents. It's already ours. Look on it as a reward for finding the property.
Speaker A
Alternative is we go sell it someplace else. The alternative is [laughter] you get shot.
Speaker A
Now, who wants to get shot over a bottle or two of liquor? Pay the man.
Speaker A
Pleasure doing business with you. And listen, uh, we didn't take it. At least not without orders from Oh, I know exactly who gave you your orders. Old Sheriff Gray. You know what?
Speaker A
I don't want it. In fact, sir, now you can do me a favor. There's an extra 10 bucks if you do. Drive the stuff into roads, head over to the tavern run by Mr. Gray, and give the stuff out for
Speaker A
free. Mama, hush. Now, I believe they call that a promotional expense. As you wish, madam.
Speaker A
You boys come back sometime and tell me how you made out. Maybe we'll play a little cribage.
Speaker A
All right. Next stop, the road saloon. Here we go. I finally sold those Cornwall bonds. Got close to a thousand for them. I wanted more, but not bad considering how hot they were, especially after that blood bath in Valentine's.
Speaker A
Oh, not bad at all. Apparently, Cornwall's been pumping a lot of cash into the Pinkerton. Wants to keep their full effort on going after gangs. Gangs like us.
Speaker A
Yeah, that don't surprise me. All right, this could get ugly. You and Dutch already have that thing going on in town with the sheriff.
Speaker A
Yeah, Mr. Gray. That's it. Now we're inserting ourselves in his blood feud. We'll need some I ain't playing dress.
Speaker A
You know how I feel about that. Of course you're not. You're You're a clown's idiot brother.
Speaker A
Hosea, please. I'm the clown. You're the idiot. Just look sad and keep quiet. Even you can do that. Arthur, I have to put this hat on.
Speaker A
Smoke this pipe. Bring your lip forward just a bit. Squint. Oh, perfect. What about you? Oh, sh.
Speaker A
You can't speak. Your turn idiot. What? Broke. Poor man is hot. There. There. Fenton. Bear. There. Don't get mad now.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Okay, Fenton, stay calm now. For mama, she loved you so.
Speaker A
Just a shame you had to strangle her in a rage, right? Grab [music] two cases of that stuff and follow me.
Speaker A
Gentlemen, gentlemen, quite the town you have here. We just drove in from up north. Hey, hello.
Speaker A
Hello. I'm Melvin. This is my brother Fenton. Don't mind him. Don't madden him. He's turned idiot. Killed our mother, but it weren't his fault. How'd you boys How'd you boys like a couple of bucks? I bet you would.
Speaker A
One for each of you. We are in the new trade of advertising, which is an American art form about ensuring people buy the correct things.
Speaker A
I don't know. One more dollar says give us half an hour. What harm can we do in half an hour?
Speaker A
Go along now. Enjoy the money. Come along, Fenton. Let's hand out the liquor. Gentlemen, gentlemen, my name is Melvin. That's my brother Fenton. He's a bit funny, but boy can he pour drinks fast. For the next 30 minutes, the drinks in this year bar, in
Speaker A
this year town are entirely free. The only rule is that you got to drink them. So hurry up, put old F to work.
Speaker A
Don't get him mad, though. His mama made him mad and we buried her. [laughter] Now come up to the bar, everybody. Come on fers.
Speaker A
I only have one business a gift. It's a shorter [music] gift. That's some strong stuff. Just keep them coming.
Speaker A
Will catch [music] your soul for drink. Don't [music] be shy, boy. Mr. Gray won't be happy about this. Another friend, these men are dry. [music] Don't be shy. Where's now? It's your opportunity to get hideously. Come on.
Speaker A
You're a fine man. Fine, [music] man. Don't listen to your brother. Providence over here. Finton, he's shining on you. Don't let her [music] go.
Speaker A
Hey, send [music] a couple this way, will you? Keep drinking. There's plenty more where I came from anymore.
Speaker A
Don't keep them waiting, Benton. Whoa. Wife is going to kill me. I only went out for milk.
Speaker A
Come on, Fenton. People are dying of thous. You're not having another episode, are you?
Speaker A
Well, I hit the spot. Keep them coming, Finn. Just keep them coming. Drink up. Train Raiders. Good evening, gentlemen.
Speaker A
[music] Quiet libation. You me? You're the bastards who stole a liquor we was going to buy.
Speaker A
We're in advertising. Come on in. Have it for That's our goddamn liquor. An honest mistake, boys. Get them.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. You hear me? Upstairs. Hey, you think you shoot this? Why the hell?
Speaker A
[screaming] Get off me. How you like up against this way. You think we want to find you.
Speaker A
[screaming] [groaning] Let's go. Come on, Pink. Drop that wagon. I'm getting us out of here.
Speaker A
Ain't going to let this go, are they? Over there. They got out the back.
Speaker A
Got more coming after us. I see them. Well, shoot them then. You ain't You think we wouldn't find you?
Speaker A
[screaming] We around here. Stay the hell out of our business. [music] How many? They really aren't happy.
Speaker A
My job. There's more to your right. To your right. I see it made it behind you.
Speaker A
It's the moonshine. Keep on it, Arthur. And now move damn faster. Good shot. You think we want to find you out of them? We run out of liqu.
Speaker A
You see any more of them? Don't think so. Jesus. All this over a few bottles of booze. I reckon it's more. They don't want another gang on their patch.
Speaker A
Okay, pull off the road here. Hold. All right, we're good. Yeah. Remind me never to take up a career in what was it?
Speaker A
Advertised. Yeah. You think that woman set us up? No, I don't think so. Maybe.
Speaker A
This place is odd. Well, I keep seeing those fellas. Some local militia. Clearly not too happy to have some new competition.
Speaker A
I'll go visit old Braithweight. See what's what. What? We've been making money. The chest is filling up again slowly but surely. Part of me thinks we just get ourselves good and lost, but we still need a lot more
Speaker A
money before that can happen. So, for now, let me go give old Mrs. Braithweight some of this moonshine as well, let's call it a peace offering.
Speaker A
Sure. That was fun, Fenton. We'll make an actor of you yet. [laughter] I'll go speak to Dutch.
Speaker A
So, what do you think about what fine folks around these parts? Oh, real nice. Exactly. On the one side, we have got the Gray family. Scots, degenerates, drunkards, the local law.
Speaker A
You couldn't make this stuff up. Rich as cries. And on the other their mortal enemies, the Braithweights, moonshiners, hypocritical, both rolling, we believe, in gold. And in the middle of it all, you got some inbredad retelling of Romeo
Speaker A
and Juliet. Exactly. So, what you boys thinking? We try to rob them both. You sure? Why not? Because we got law men in three different states after us.
Speaker A
Last thing I want is to get us into trouble. But we need money. Now we have the opportunity here to put ourselves in the middle of something ain't nobody going to know we was here because even without us, these fools are going to
Speaker A
kill each other anyway. Okay. Well, Hosea's gone back to see that Braithweight woman. Good. Hosea should definitely take the lead on this. I sent Shawn over to Braithweight Manor, too. Now you can meet up with them or join John and
Speaker A
Javier at the Gayy's place. Something to do with the Braithweights prize horses. How the hell did we get an in at the Gray's place?
Speaker A
Sheriff Gray kindly put in a word with his father. It ain't that complicated. We got to convince each family that we're on their side and then we rob them both. Before they figure out it was us that done it and not the other lot,
Speaker A
we'll be long gone. Think of it as payback [snorts] for my daddy. Payback? [clears throat] I ain't in the revenge business, Dutch. Least of all for something happened a long time ago.
Speaker A
Well, I guess we all got to pay for something. Now, if you will excuse me, Arthur, I got to write a letter.
Speaker A
Arthur. Arthur. What now? Are you sweating yet, Dutch? Of course I'm sweating. We're in some diseaserridden swampy Dixie whistling [ __ ] hole.
Speaker A
I meant about what Trloney said about these bounty hoes. I'm not sweating as such, but maybe a little gentle perspiration.
Speaker A
Until we know more, ain't too much harm in wasting good liquor on sweating. So, so I think you should pay Mr. Trlani a visit and find out exactly what he knows and who he spoke to. Take Charles with you. Oh, the sight of the pair of
Speaker A
you would make a statue sing out its secrets. Okay, Charles, I need you for some business in town.
Speaker A
Come on. Okay. Easy there, girl. Where are we going? Dutch wants us to have a talk with Chelani about these bounty hunters who are coming for us.
Speaker A
Hoping he can tell us who they are or where they're coming from. Okay. and your deputies now.
Speaker A
Something like that. Soon as we laid eyes on that fool of a sheriff who runs that town, I knew Dutch was going to play him like a fiddle. On the run from one bunch of law men working for another
Speaker A
interesting hiding in plain sight, Dutch calls it. So spirits seem good in the new camp. I mean, we got some space between us and that mess now. Ain't seen no more Pinkertons for a while. There's these bounty hunters, of course, but Dutch don't seem
Speaker A
too worried about it. Can't believe they're still coming after us. We didn't even get away with the money.
Speaker A
Yeah, but they don't know that. Of course. Trlani. I've only met him a couple times, but he's he's a strange one.
Speaker A
Fear not. He's just a cockroach in fancy britches. But he gets in the nooks and crannies the rest of us can't. We just need to find him before he scurries off again.
Speaker A
I think it's just up here. Whoa. Whoa. There's some blood here. That ain't good.
Speaker A
Someone got here first. So it seems. By the looks of things, it wasn't a social call.
Speaker A
Check the house. You see anything there? found anything? Red's not made, so he must have been here recently.
Speaker A
This food's barely touched. Looks like he left in a hurry. I remember honey. Big struggle pretty recently, I'd say. I guess maybe uh 12 hours ago.
Speaker A
But no body? Not yet. Look, tracks. Come on. You all right, girl? They went down the path here. How's your tracking these days?
Speaker A
All right, I guess. Well, lead the way then. Not the kind of place I'd expect to see Trilani staying in. No.
Speaker A
Normally scams himself into the best hotel in town. You know, when me and Javier went down with Trilani to get Shawn after the bar fight, I swear he talked the whole way and never actually said a damn thing.
Speaker A
I thought you knew that's his special talent. They could be 20 miles away by now. We can track them that far if we need to.
Speaker A
Depends on how much you want to find them. Yeah, I still ain't sure about that. See, they must have crossed over the tracks.
Speaker A
These tracks lead into the forest here. Whoa. Hey, look. Let's go see what those fellas have to say.
Speaker A
Excuse me. Yeah. Have you seen him? We're [clears throat] uh we're looking for our friend.
Speaker A
I don't think he's here. Ah, you seen a strange sort of fell. Sort of formal.
Speaker A
Strange. Sure. Formal. Nah. He uses a cane. Looks a lot like this one. All right, you two.
Speaker A
Where the hell is he? You both better get out of here. Come here. That you [groaning] [groaning] [screaming] You stay there.
Speaker A
Where is Trilone? I don't know anything. Tell me where he is. You go to hell.
Speaker A
You better tell me now, you son of a [ __ ] Okay. Okay. For Christ's sake. They took him to a cabin over by the corn fields.
Speaker A
Which cornfields? Left down the path there by Braithweight Manor. Pretty good. All right, that should do it.
Speaker A
Come on, let's go. Follow me. I think there's a way around so we don't have to go through the Braithweight's place.
Speaker A
Yes, I've spent enough time there. After you then. You okay? I'm good. What do you think they want with [music] Trilani?
Speaker A
Could be any one of a hundred things. Just depends if any of them involve us.
Speaker A
You think he'll talk? Of course he'll talk. He'd sell his own sister to save a train [music] fair. He don't know how not to talk.
Speaker A
He don't know where we're holed up, though. At least I don't think he does.
Speaker A
I don't know why Dutch still deals with him. Oh, he's disappearing for weeks on end.
Speaker A
He's got his uses and well, loyalty matters to Dutch, of course. But is Trrelone [music] loyal?
Speaker A
Yeah, kind of. I guess Trrelone ain't exactly this loyal. Just got a big mouth. Don't worry, if he talked, I'll goddamn find [music] out what he said.
Speaker A
Nothing's ever straightforward where Trilone is involved. Learned that much. I mean, how much time have we wasted getting this fool out of trouble? He somehow manages to be both lucky and unlucky at the same time.
Speaker A
That's one way of looking at it. But he always finds some way to pay us back.
Speaker A
Just when we think about cutting them loose, he brings us something [music] big. I guess that's his special talent, keeping fish on the line.
Speaker A
That must be it. Easy. Let's get you out of here. Come on, boy. The thing is, after that sack, this will be remembered like a good time.
Speaker A
Put the man down, gentlemen. Is that the lot of them? I I think so.
Speaker A
You're alive. Allegedly. Well, don't worry. They won't be for much longer. Go get them, Arthur. I can handle this.
Speaker A
Who know? Damn. Let's get after those sons of [ __ ] They've gone into the corn fields. We need to flush them out over there where the birds are.
Speaker A
Where are you? They're going to get away. Let's find them. Where the hell are they?
Speaker A
Come on. Where are they? God damn these sons of [ __ ] We need to find these bastards.
Speaker A
You're making a big mistake. Come on, you cowards. We know who you are and we're coming for you.
Speaker A
Who the hell are they? Get out of there, you sons of [ __ ] We got one more. Charles, look the birds. Go that way.
Speaker A
Hey, I see something on the ground over here. He's dumped his gear. Look around. He can't have gone far.
Speaker A
He's mine. Let me take him. You get out of here. You have my friend.
Speaker A
He's not your friend. I'll give you money. [ __ ] [groaning] Come on. You should have taken the money.
Speaker A
I know. I'm a fool. [ __ ] Let's begin. The gunshots are coming from that arm.
Speaker A
He's backing off inside. Get after him. [music] There he is. Take him out. Good. He should be the last of them.
Speaker A
All right, let's go back for Trilani. You all right? Yeah. Never goes easy, does it?
Speaker A
Sure don't. Come on, let's go see how badly they beat up the slippery fell.
Speaker A
I wonder how much trouble he's brought with him. Guess we'll soon find out. Seems like we can't catch a break now, Arthur.
Speaker A
Our luck's held this long. We got out of worse scrapes than this one. And so I heard [laughter] Sure. What's government agents and bounty hunters to us?
Speaker A
Ah, I hope you're right. Mr. Trilone, where are you? Over here, dear boy. Well, he's still here at least.
Speaker A
Put your feet up, why don't you? You okay? Never finer. So, who was they?
Speaker A
They were bounty hunter attached to Cole Start. Okay. They weren't looking for me, you say.
Speaker A
What'd you tell them? Not much. I told them I was an intellectual come down here from Oregon looking for a job at the university. Of course, they didn't believe me.
Speaker A
Seems you stirred up quite a hornet's nest in Blackwater. So I keep hearing. It might be best if I stay with you, gentlemen, for a while. Can't go back to that caravan now.
Speaker A
All right, Charles. You take Trilone back to camp. I'll catch up with you. Okay.
Speaker A
There always seems to be more more and more of civilization. [music] I want to get back in the open country of the West or what's left of it. But well, even that ain't the way I remember it.
Speaker A
Arthur, are you busy? Arthur, what? Well, I know you think I'm just some of buffoon. A what?
Speaker A
A man of words and not of action. Hardly a man at all. Well, I think you're as slippery as an eel in an oil slick, but still a man.
Speaker A
Because I think I've I found something interesting. Yeah. Have you ever robbed a stage coach?
Speaker A
No, never. Who would have even thought? Of course I robbed a goddamn stage coach. You know I have.
Speaker A
And what's the problem with stage coaches? The armed man attempting to put a bullet in your head.
Speaker A
Not quite. The odds. I mean, is it worth the robbing? Sometimes. I know, but well, if you'd like to come with me, I can introduce you to a new best friend, and he's he's going to give you all the decent robable
Speaker A
stage coaches a hot blooded degenerate could require. Well, I could require a whole lot.
Speaker A
So, where do we find this friend of yours? Roads. Because what can possibly go wrong there?
Speaker A
Well, lead the way and we'll find out. You sure seem to have got about around here.
Speaker A
You know me. I like to make friends in low places. How the hell you end up down here anyway?
Speaker A
I could ask the same of you. I have a few commitments over this way. Some expenses to meet.
Speaker A
Expenses? What expenses? Gentleman's canes and rabbits to pull out of hats. Among other things, I had quite a nice little business going for a while. Shares in a gold mining company.
Speaker A
Excellent returns for the investor of a certain financial standing until, well, that unfortunate runin with the law.
Speaker A
Yeah, that's how it goes. Thanks for disappearing on us during that Sha business. By the way, I've done my part. each to their strengths. Dear boy, you know, you boys should really watch yourselves with those two families. This
Speaker A
is a small town. People talk. I tried to mention it to Osaya, but you know how he is. Anyway, while they're off chasing their pot of Confederate gold hidden at the end of some [music] rainbow, let me present you with something real.
Speaker A
So, where exactly are we going? the train station. The clerk there, Alden, is quite a fellow and very informed on the comingings and goings of coaches around these parts.
Speaker A
Ah, I see. Here we are. We can hitch up outside. I'll make the introductions. Author.
Speaker A
Okay, my girl. Come on, hang back a bit and let me do the talking. We don't want to scare him off.
Speaker A
Hello, Alden. Hello, Joah. How have you been? Dandy. And you, friend? Like I said, times are tough. My MS is a bad woman. Terrible woman.
Speaker A
They often are. But how's work, Alden? Terrible. Wages got cut again. They reckon they just invented a new horse's carriage will be the end of us.
Speaker A
They've been saying that nonsense since they invented the wheel. The wickedness of bosses. I know. My comrades here and I are greatly discouraged from the adequate fulfillment of our duty.
Speaker A
A discouraged man is no man at all, Alden. No man at all. My friend Arthur here has a present for you.
Speaker A
Here. Ain't you kind, sir? Call him Martha. He's one of us. a fellow man of distinction.
Speaker A
Okay. Well, this is perfect timing. I think you'll like this one, Josiah. It'll be coming south down the river road through Silk Water Strand.
Speaker A
Thank you, Alden. Thank you very much. Oh, and Josiah, if you or Arthur are ever out Strawberry Way, ask for my colleague there. Feller called Hector.
Speaker A
He's also one of the What did you call us again? Discouraged men, Alden, that's it. Discouraged men. I like that.
Speaker A
Well, goodbye, Alden. Or should I say ad? Oh, ado, Josiah. What the hell was that?
Speaker A
I thought you might like to see that. Pantomine. River Road through Silt Water Strand, he said.
Speaker A
Okay, I think I know a good spot to wait. Follow me. All right, now it's over.
Speaker A
Okay, let's go this way. Hold. What did I tell you? Simple as can be.
Speaker A
Seems a lot of the station workers are in on it these days. Earning a pittance.
Speaker A
The unions are whipping them up, so they want something on the side. Like he said, there Strawberry could create a lot of opportunities for a man in your line of work. I ain't sure about going back to Strawberry after all that market
Speaker A
business. Didn't sound like you left anyone alive to recognize you, so I wouldn't worry too much. Dear boy, all this trouble, you gentlemen are becoming quite the celebrities, aren't you? Soon you'll be on the front of a dime novel. And dead,
Speaker A
of course. We're hoping to be long gone before that. Dutch has a plan. If anything goes wrong, let's meet back here at this crossroad. Okay.
Speaker A
All right. Here we are. This is the spot. Easy. Okay, this should do. Sure.
Speaker A
Here. I'm hoping we won't need those. Better safe than sorry. So, what were you thinking?
Speaker A
Well, according to this, the loot is located in a strong box, which is in the back. I'll put on a little performance, and you can scurry around, open the strong box, and relieve them of their goodies. And how do I open the strong
Speaker A
box without threatening someone to open it for me? This should work. And I can do this silently.
Speaker A
Well, I'm hoping complete silence won't be necessary, but you're going to wish you had your earplugs.
Speaker A
This is damson. Oh, very good old and [music] very good. Of course, if anything goes wrong, you can wave your guns around like you normally do. Hold tight. They'll be here soon.
Speaker A
There it is. Right on time. Let's go. Keep your distance so they don't see you. And please leave that gun in its holster for once.
Speaker A
I'll ride ahead and get the coach to stop. You hang back. Don't let them spot you or you'll scupper the whole thing.
Speaker A
Yeah. Easy. Good. Hello. I hope you don't mind my singing. Not at all. I'm preparing a show. It's a free country.
Speaker A
Did you say a show? Madam, it's a small benefit to build an opera house black water.
Speaker A
You see, Mrs. Chester danc stop the coach, my good man. Stop the coach. Yeah, easy by didn't stop singing.
Speaker A
The New York audience, they were rather cruel. New Yorkers are priSs and fools who believe Westerners don't know anything about culture.
Speaker A
I couldn't agree more. Would Could you It's It's such a small show. Would you sing something for me?
Speaker A
I'm looking for a master. I I I don't know. Miss Tamson, you owe it to West Elizabeth.
Speaker A
They [screaming] free. [screaming] Madam, I've heard enough. Might I have your card? The event is on the 23rd of this month.
Speaker A
I can't say enough about Mrs. Damson. So sorry, gentlemen, for the interruption. Farewell. Nicely done, Arthur. A little finesse for once.
Speaker A
Well done, sir. Well done. It was easy. You did all the work. Team work, my dear boy. Team work.
Speaker A
Here you go. Thank you. Oh, it's always good. Go see Alden from time to time.
Speaker A
See you soon, Arthur. Hia, Arthur. Hey, Arthur. C can I have a quick word?
Speaker A
Yes, Moshe. Ah, call me Molly, would you? [sighs] Arthur, how is Dutch? I mean, how does he seem to you?
Speaker A
I'm about the same as usual, I guess. I I really love him, you know. [sighs] But if he like he always says, loyalty is everything. So Arthur, excuse me, Miss O'Shea.
Speaker A
What you want? I bring a gift. The great gift of information. So you got some tip off. So now I can risk my neck and make you some money while you lounge around.
Speaker A
You know, Arthur, bitterness, it it works on the inside as well as on your sour face. If you say so. But you could go find some other fool to run your errands.
Speaker A
Bill, come on over here. Will you be my other fool? You, too, Charles. What are you talking about?
Speaker A
Arthur's above a little stickup I heard about. No, I'm not. You just said I'll do it as long as you ride with us.
Speaker A
I got a serious medical condition. Yes, you are a compulsive liar. No need to be like that. Charles, have I ever lied to you?
Speaker A
I hardly know you. Exactly. Now, you boys should do this. It's easy and I'll only take a small commission for my information, but it's now or never.
Speaker A
Then it's never. Oh, God help me. Fine, I'll do it. Well, what is it? It's a supply wagon carrying payroll, but very briefly unguarded apparently as it passes through a crossroads near here where there's an old ruined church
Speaker A
before it connects with the rest of the wagon train. Very easy picking. As long as we get paid or you get shot, I'm happy. You are a sick man, Arthur Morgan. A very sick man indeed.
Speaker A
This way. Bunch of smart Alex. How do you get wind of this old man? He only been down here all five minutes.
Speaker A
Well, while you boys went off fishing or playing law, man, or whatever the hell you've been doing, I've been getting down to business.
Speaker A
Finding the nearest grog house. Hey, you don't want in on this, Williamson? That's fine by me. Do us all a favor. Head home.
Speaker A
Just give it a rest, you two. Just have a little faith for once, will you? I've been scoping jobs like this since you fellas were kneeh high to a grasshopper.
Speaker A
Once a decade, maybe. So, what is it you've scoped here exactly? Well, I told you there's a wagon with a lock box passes through every week. They switch out rididers just north of here, but the front wagon's by itself for a
Speaker A
stretch before the last run down in the roads. I've been watching them. Okay, hold up here. We should cover our faces. They'll be passed through the crossroads up ahead. Wind soon, Williamson. Christ's sakes. They should be due any time now.
Speaker A
Let's keep this quiet and clean. Nobody needs to die here. There. You see, gentlemen, just like clockwork.
Speaker A
Stop the wagon. I said stop the damn wagon. Whoa. Now, don't try anything stupid and we won't do anything unkind. You know, boys, I I don't I don't want to get shot, but this is a mistake. I work for
Speaker A
Cornwall Kerosene and Tar. Mr. Leviticus Cornwall. Oh, great. So, you know him. [laughter] He doesn't. I hear he's rich enough to share the wealth around and not miss it too much.
Speaker A
Oh, he'll miss it. Okay, why don't you check out round the back? Arthur, help me out here.
Speaker A
See what's inside. Okay, we're looking good. Must be nearing a thousand here. [ __ ] Hey, think I see something. Oh, great.
Speaker A
Up ahead. Let's go, Arthur. Let's go. Get back here. Hold it right there. Goddamn weapon right now.
Speaker A
This is the end of the line. Do not let them get wiped. Light us, boys. Get rid of these sons of [ __ ] Come on. Come on.
Speaker A
Nice going, uncle. Most guarded wagon in goddamn history. [music] Wait. Get out of here.
Speaker A
Get back. Let's go. Let's go. Where the hell are we going? Get out of here. But they got dumb witches.
Speaker A
They will come in, boys. Come on. They're getting way now. Come on. Trouble now. Come on. We need to lose them. You ain't getting away with this.
Speaker A
[music] You can move fast when you have to, can't you? Just shut up, Williamson.
Speaker A
Keep on. Come on, Arthur. [ __ ] Quick. Get off the trail into the woods.
Speaker A
Let's shake him and get back to camp. No, we need to find a place to lie low.
Speaker A
[music] We can't risk beating Cornwall's men camp. All right. Whoa. Let's hide in [music] here quick.
Speaker A
Slow it down. Go on. Get out of here. Get out of here. Go on. I'll see you later. All right. Let's get out of sight.
Speaker A
Stay until dark. Then we'll sneak out of here. Charles, you keep watch for now.
Speaker A
Sure. Well, we uh get some rest. [groaning] All right, let's [clears throat] try and get out of here. Hey, [ __ ] Absolutely. Well, shut up, old man.
Speaker A
Look, I was just trying to shut up. There's a light over by the house.
Speaker A
Damn. I hate it. Now, let's just keep this calm. Don't shoot. See what happens.
Speaker A
I got nothing wrong. Is this your place? Kind of. Uhuh. And you didn't hear nothing?
Speaker A
I Why don't you just tell me, partner, what you heard? Good. Go ahead. Tell me what you heard.
Speaker A
I don't Maybe I I heard some noises out by the barn a while ago.
Speaker A
Ain't me. Better not be. All right, Coop forth. Low, go check out the the barn sir.
Speaker A
[snorts] Well, the place looks deserted enough. Sure. You head inside. And I'll go around the back.
Speaker A
Looks like we're shooting our way out of here fellas. You guys are going to die, right?
Speaker A
We got more of the bastards on this side. That's dead. More on the ride here.
Speaker A
[ __ ] I'm alive. Watch out. This fell really don't like rob. Let's just hope we don't run out of bullets.
Speaker A
Here we got more on this side. [ __ ] Fire. Got something coming in from the front.
Speaker A
We're going to die here. We're happy to keep marker. They were sick from finding us anyway.
Speaker A
[ __ ] Quick. We don't get out of here soon. We're charcoal. [screaming] [groaning] Let's head to the woods.
Speaker A
[music] Into the trees. Come on. [music] Where are we going, Bill? We'll try to lose him in the woods.
Speaker A
Let's split up a bit. Try to confuse him. Arthur, when me, you're on your own. Oh, shut the hell up.
Speaker A
Quick, behind these rocks. They're coming this way. Perfect. We need to do this quietly. You take the left and I'll take the right. Okay.
Speaker A
Your right or my right. You see anything? Not yet. Follow the lead. [screaming] Uhoh. Clearly those boys.
Speaker A
Guess we should go give him a hand. You don't mess with you. God damn it.
Speaker A
[ __ ] Watch out. We all still alive just about. I'll deal with you later.
Speaker A
We got some money, didn't we? Sure, but now we got corn on our back.
Speaker A
It was an honest mistake. Leave it. Guan, get out of here. Every man, split up. Go on, run quick. Good luck, Johnson. Stay quiet and move.
Speaker A
Arthur, yes kid, you got a lot on. Uh, just hunting for all this hillbilly gold that Dutch and Hosea seem to think is out there just waiting to be stolen.
Speaker A
Why? I got something. Could be good. Yeah. Yeah. I was in roads talking to some of the colored folk. They said there's a gang of fools holed up in the swamps east of here who think they war ain't
Speaker A
never ended. The Civil War. Yeah. Apparently, it's still raging in these fools minds 30 years later.
Speaker A
Okay, that ain't my point. These ignorant fools are weapon dealers and in their dealings sometimes sit on a decent pile of cash. They have been selling weapons to Cuba and South America for years.
Speaker A
Anyway, the old boy I was talking to reckon there might be a bunch of cash just sitting around and failing that.
Speaker A
Maybe a nice stash of weapons with just a bunch of crazies gardening. Exactly. Well, [snorts] worth taking a look at at least, isn't it? That was my thinking. Said it was at some place called Shady Bear, deep in
Speaker A
the woods. Okay. I was hoping you'd be in. If it's how they told it, it's going to be something. All right.
Speaker A
We'll see. Come on. It's this way on me. Whoa. You know, I might have met these crazies before.
Speaker A
You've been drinking again? No. Well, yes, but no, that's not how I might have met them. I think some of them heranged me and Sadi when we were coming back with supplies. Mrs. Adler.
Speaker A
Yeah. And Mrs. Adler did just fine. More than fine, actually. She's terrifying. But I got a notion these fellas is [music] one and the same.
Speaker A
Yeah. We won't find no shortage of angry peckerwood idiots in the state of Le Moine. That's for sure.
Speaker A
Is it really that different in this state? We haven't come far. It seems like it is. These boys got a manner about them, but I haven't necessarily noticed.
Speaker A
All respect, Mr. Morgan. You wouldn't notice. Might call you a lover. They see us riding like this, but most of it is a a glance or a word, and after that, a visit in the night.
Speaker A
Out west is out west is out west. And you're all who you are. Decent folks, but some places down here, they judge differently.
Speaker A
Well, hell no. Guess it can't be so easy for you, Lenny. Sorry you're caught up in this.
Speaker A
Well, I guess their gold still shining and their guns still sh. So, I'm game for robbing any and every one of these bastards for all they got.
Speaker A
Ah, okay then. Plus, it beats being lynched back in Blackwater with all of you by my side.
Speaker A
I guess it does. Feels like we're close. It's a rundown old plantation house down in the bayou somewhere.
Speaker A
Let's take it slow. Be cautious. If, like you say, these crazies are sitting on weapons, we're going to want to strategize a [music] little before getting shot at.
Speaker A
Of course, they [music] said find the old battlefield and keep on going. Yeah, I've been here before. I can see the wrecked old Civil War weaponry.
Speaker A
Where are the wrecked old Civil War holdouts? You see that church up ahead? They're supposed to use it as an outpost. Heard they got men going between here and the big house all day.
Speaker A
Okay. Look at this feel. Imagine getting caught up in a fight like this. Yeah, I don't care to hold those rains in. Let's just take a look around the place.
Speaker A
I hear you. Uh, it doesn't look like anyone's here. We don't know that for sure.
Speaker A
Let's have us a nosy. Hear that? Someone's on the track. Look there, a wagon.
Speaker A
Let's see where he's going. You're on me now. Right behind you. Let's keep our distance. Just two fellas out on the road.
Speaker A
Hey, that look like dynamite in the back there. It looks like we're on to something.
Speaker A
I think I see something. End of the avenue between the trees. Might be. It might be. Keep it steady.
Speaker A
Hey, big plantation house. Must be Shady Bell. I reckon we can leave our mounts up there off the trail. Good enough to me.
Speaker A
Come on. We can view on them from that wall up there. [snorts] Make sure you bring the sharpshooter.
Speaker A
I'll take the other side. You get in cover there. Will you see anything? Yes.
Speaker A
Yes. They're here. All right. And they're armed. Almost a militia. Look over to the left. Hey, we came all this way. So, can you look again and see if you spot anything?
Speaker A
All right. Some tans. Point your scope up a little. [sighs] Got a gatling gun up there, too. They got that house locked down real tight.
Speaker A
I know dynamite crates when I see them. We got something, right? Oh, we got something. We can hit them head on, fight them honest.
Speaker A
Or you could go down there acting friendly. Friendly with these folks. Just draw them into one spot and I'll start shooting.
Speaker A
Well, that might be the dumbest idea I've ever heard, but hey, I'm always up for a performance.
Speaker A
You're going in, kid. Give them both powers of charm. Wouldn't try anything less. Uh, today is a fine and fabulous day as all days and so may [music] it be.
Speaker A
Praise be my people. What do you want? Praise be my people. Praise be. Now I come in peace to discuss the merit of glory and interest you in eternity.
Speaker A
Praise be my just a moment longer. Are you have you will you be saved my brother?
Speaker A
Praise be. Huh? Praise be. I want you out of here now, boy. Hey, praise be my people. Praise be. I said get out of here.
Speaker A
Well, I come in peace. Oh, battle [ __ ] [music] Got you down. [music] All that I'm down. He's going for the gatling.
Speaker A
[music] He's firing on that gun. Shoot. Keep your head down, kid. I'll take the shot. Heat.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] Heat. dress up quick. Any men in the area would have heard that they might be on the way.
Speaker A
Now, let's grab something and get out. Sounds like a plan. Let's burn these wax.
Speaker A
You got anything? Not yet. Hey, this could be promise. What do you got here?
Speaker A
Come on. This is full of new rifles. We can sell those, right? We sure can. We'll check the rest later.
Speaker A
Now, come on. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Get this back to camp. Yep.
Speaker A
Yep. Go. Go. Let's haul. Come on. G up. Paul in coming our way. Keep it together here.
Speaker A
Hey, stop. What's a black fell doing coming out of Shady Bell in one of our wagons?
Speaker A
We was uh doing some business with your brothers back there. You don't look like any kind of folk we deal with.
Speaker A
You look just the opposite. The goddamn Leonard. Leonard. Leonard. I'm looking. All right. I can't see anyone chasing us.
Speaker A
I should think we're out of the woods then, so to speak. [laughter] Oh boy. Oh boy.
Speaker A
You did good. We did it. Well, let's get to camp before saying anything like that. I know Sean's been bringing in quite a lot lately and I wanted to It's good to have something to show like this.
Speaker A
Sean's a loudmouth bragging. Don't worry about what Shawn does. Hey, I like him, you know.
Speaker A
Well, so do I. It's my better judgment. Just But you worry about you. He wasn't on Leviticus Cornwall's train with me.
Speaker A
We had to dig him out of Blackwater. But nothing but nothing. Me and Dutch and everyone who counts, we know what you do for this gang. We notice.
Speaker A
Keep it up. You're going to start seeing things change for you. Okay then. Okay.
Speaker A
Thank you, Arthur. Hey, the camp's in these trees up here. Let's get there. [music] Alpha Lenny coming back.
Speaker A
These are fine rifles, right? I'm going to keep one just for me. Hey, I always enjoy riding with you, kid.
Speaker A
[laughter] You know how to fight. Hey, you too. Anytime, Arthur. Let's go, girl. Author.
Speaker A
Yeah, I need a word with you, Morgan. What is it? We got something cooking you might be interested in.
Speaker A
Am I going to like the sound of this? Been cooking since Horseshoe, but you went and kicked up all that commotion at Valentine. Now, we was preparing to rob the bank there until you got involved in all that nonsense. And I don't know. I
Speaker A
just feel like it's unfinished business. That wasn't my fault. It was just one of them things. How How come every time I get in trouble, I'm called a fool and an idiot? But when you get in trouble, oh,
Speaker A
it's just one of them things. It's a good point, Arthur. A very good point.
Speaker A
All right. Well, what do you all want me to do? Hit the goddamn bank with us.
Speaker A
You really think it's worth going back there? Four of us can hit the bank easy. But I ain't going to lie to you. There will be law if we linger.
Speaker A
And if we're serious? No, just local boys being rounded up and pressed into action.
Speaker A
Meaning if we go in quick and quiet, we can hit it just fine if there's four of us. I mean, y'all think it's worth the risk?
Speaker A
It's a bank, Arthur. So, is the take good? According to the fella I met, yes. It's the end of the stock sales. Plenty of money and plenty of people milling about.
Speaker A
[sighs] Okay, I suppose it's worth taking a look. At least if I'm going to be performing, I better go get changed out of these rags. Give me a minute, gentlemen. [clears throat] Okay, so Bill, this better be good.
Speaker A
It is good. We put a lot of research into this one. I hope so.
Speaker A
Mr. Morgan Strauss, that man, the data, Thomas D. apparently, he's dead. Dead, huh? Well, hey, he didn't seem very well.
Speaker A
His wife, I believe he has a wife and child. She will assume the debt. Of course.
Speaker A
Of course. Then you can head up there and collect. We lent them a lot of money.
Speaker A
Okay, gentlemen. Let's go rob ourselves a bank. What's the plan then? Oh, we're going to send Karen on in ahead as a distraction. Then we're just going to rush on in afterwards. Just a small bank in a little town. Nothing
Speaker A
that big in way of security. We just need to bring you along as a insurance policy. Yeah, that sounds about right. [clears throat] All right, follow me.
Speaker A
So, tell me again about this big can't go wrong plan of yours. Oh, it can go wrong. Anything can once the shooting starts.
Speaker A
Well, that's reassuring. Like I said, we'll see how it looks. If we can get in all right, we'll send Miss Jones ahead to the bank. They won't recognize her.
Speaker A
I'll show you boys how it's gone. What are you thinking this time? I don't know. Fellers's always like a lost little girl, but nobody plays a drunken harlot quite like me. He should work.
Speaker A
Once he's got them distracted, we'll move in. When I was scouting the place the other day, there was only a couple of guards.
Speaker A
We deal with them and any customers who are feeling brave. And you always fancy yourself as the vault man, right, Arthur?
Speaker A
Now I see why you brought me. Hey, I'm more than willing. Nah, best I do it.
Speaker A
Oh, and did Dutch tell you I've also been cooking up some deals with them gray boys?
Speaker A
What? No. What kind of deals? See, you don't realize, Morgan. I'm out there putting in the work. Same as you.
Speaker A
I've been drinking with them a couple times now. Seems they're looking for some extra security.
Speaker A
Yeah, I'm sure they are. Could be something in it for us. Well, just be smart about it. We got a lot of irons in that fire right now.
Speaker A
Yes, I know, Morgan. Hold on now. Can't believe you got me going back to Valentine.
Speaker A
Don't tell me it ain't hurt you leaving that bank behind. Not really. Work a town and not hit the bank. That's downright pathetic.
Speaker A
I guess we went a bit beyond working it. We shot the place to hell.
Speaker A
You did, Morgan. Not me. I played it cool up there. Couple of punchups, dealt with some odorris.
Speaker A
Is that right? Like I said, you mess up. It's just one of them things. I mess up.
Speaker A
I'm the prize idiot. Well, Bill, [snorts] I don't know what to tell you. Surprised you ain't already ripped me about that dynamite again.
Speaker A
One mistake and I'll never live it down. What do you need? Pat on the back, a medal.
Speaker A
Just know I got the lead on this one. We'll see about that once things get going.
Speaker A
So, thinking this through. We rob Cornwall's train. We shoot a heap of his men in Valentine.
Speaker A
We rob his stage coach. This is just dawning on you now. And now we're going back to the one place he knew where to find us.
Speaker A
That's the genius of it. The folk never look at what's right under their nose.
Speaker A
I ain't sure that's always true. What's happened to you? You're getting real nervy in your old age.
Speaker A
The last few weeks happened. Forget about Cornwall. He can't have many men left at this point. Got a bit hairy in that barn, but we all walked away fine from that.
Speaker A
Didn't walk away with much. If four of us could deal with them in Valentine, and four of us could deal with them after the coach robbery, I ain't too worried.
Speaker A
If you say so. Glad you and Lenny are alone for this. Karen, someone's got to keep you boys out of trouble. I ain't sure even Lenny can be relied on to keep his head. Not after that night you two had him Valentine.
Speaker A
Yeah, I've been trying to forget that. What little I remember of it. You've always been a bad drunk. And before you say it, I know takes one to know one. Guess we'll never learn.
Speaker A
And Bill ain't much better. So, should we stop for some whiskey? [music] How about we wait till after the bank?
Speaker A
All right. So, how are you feeling about this, Lenny? Well, at first I thought it was a bad idea. But then I figured they all if you think about him long enough.
Speaker A
Certainly have been recently. I mean, why the hell not? Roll with it. I just told him we needed you along.
Speaker A
I appreciate the confidence, kid. And if we didn't rob this bank, we really would be slipping.
Speaker A
Thoughts like that. And you're one of us. No doubt. Sure hope so. That will have to wait. We're here.
Speaker A
Let's take it nice and easy. Miss Rachel got set upon [music] outside the saloon. Things face all black and blue.
Speaker A
Unload the wagon. Coming past. Good morning. Hello. Okay, let's leave the horses here off the main drag.
Speaker A
All right, gentlemen, here we are. Okay, get ready. Ken, go to work. Of course.
Speaker A
All right, keep it cool and follow me, fellas. So, we never decided. Is it lost little girl you want or the drunken harlot?
Speaker A
What are you doing here? I think I'd like to see the little girl lost.
Speaker A
So, even you long to save the fallen women, eh, Arthur? He'd break my heart.
Speaker A
You really do. [laughter] If you're ready, get going. Good luck, gentlemen. We got this.
Speaker A
But I'm ruined. I'm not sure this is quite the place. He said it. Okay, we're going.
Speaker A
Hold on. Wait till she's got them real. Would you care to I'm with child and this [music] I don't want to go back to the workhouse.
Speaker A
Get your godamn hands up. This is a goddamn robbery. Nobody move. Nobody move. Don't make us hurt you.
Speaker A
Here, unlock the door. It's unlocked. We're good. Oh, you think we're here? [screaming] Open the goddamn vault.
Speaker A
Open it. Just open the goddamn door. Come on. Too goddamn slow. [panting] son of a [ __ ] Hurry up. Come on.
Speaker A
[laughter] Okay, I'm in. Someone come make sure the chute behaves himself in here. Come here.
Speaker A
Open the lock boxes now. I the the manager does that. I God damn it. Now what?
Speaker A
Guess I'll crack them or blow them up. Keep an eye out. I'll be as quick as I can.
Speaker A
Yeah, I think I should be able to crack these. All right, but you better be quick.
Speaker A
You shut the hell up and stay still. [music] Hey, keep still. If I see that leg move again, you got a bullet in it.
Speaker A
[music] How much time you think we got? I don't know. Not much. It's just taking too long.
Speaker A
Come on. Come on. How are you getting on? I'm going as fast as I can. This is slower, but it's quieter.
Speaker A
Okay. I hear people out there. Me, too. Boys, you need to move this along.
Speaker A
Hey, watch him there. Don't worry, I see him. I'll go check the front. Please let me [music] go. I won't say nothing. I swear.
Speaker A
Shut the hell up and stay where you are. How's it looking there? Good. Told you. Don't count your tickets just yet.
Speaker A
Bill, how's going there? We're getting there. Few more minutes. [music] [music] That's another one cleared. This is looking good.
Speaker A
How much longer? Nearly there. Okay, you reckon that's enough now? Maybe that's never enough.
Speaker A
Well, I am ready to get the hell out of here whenever you are. [music] Last one.
Speaker A
Good. We got to move. [music] [music] I think I [panting] think we're fine. Come on, I'll lead the way.
Speaker A
Let's go. Everybody stay calm. All of you count to 100 and keep your mouth shut. You understand me?
Speaker A
Oh my god. Someone moving over there. All right, [screaming] ride. Get the hell out of here.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] We got more coming in. You see any more of [music] them?
Speaker A
[music] Where the hell are they? [music] [music] [music] They're still coming. [music] Heat. [music] [music] [music] Heat.
Speaker A
[music] [music] Come on, get across. You got to beat that train, Morgan. [music] All right, I think we lost them.
Speaker A
Thank you, gentlemen. That was stupid and dangerous. Thank you, Bill. We're alive [laughter] and we're paid.
Speaker A
I don't see the problem. Yeah, and that is the problem. Still, this is a very good take. Dutch will be happy even if it did come with a heap of trouble. Ah, it was fun.
Speaker A
Well, maybe you're right. Now, go on, get out of here. I have some other business to attend to. Don't head directly back to camp and make sure you ain't followed.
Speaker A
Okay, this is towns. Yeah. Yep. Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Speaker A
Yeah. My husband's not cold in the ground and you've come back here, Archie. I nearly paid off what was owed. Your husband knew the rules when he took that money.
Speaker A
Now, I'm real sorry about the way things turned out. But he had a choice. Ain't my fault about the way the world is.
Speaker A
He didn't have a choice. He was good and he did good. There wasn't no choice in that. And you've as good as killed him yourself. And don't kid yourself. You had a choice.
Speaker A
You speak as if killing were something I cared about. You ever wonder about eternity? You should.
Speaker A
I hope it's hot and terrible, Mrs. Towns. Otherwise, I'll feel I've been sold a false bill of goods. Now, please give me that money.
Speaker A
Either you got a lazy eye or lack of respect. Which is it, boy? I ain't got no lazy eye. No respect for the lacks of you.
Speaker A
Well, maybe when your mother's finished mourning your father. I'll keep her in black on your behalf. You think on that, boy?
Speaker A
Well, maybe you shall, sir. And maybe other events will transpire. You best stick to them books because mark my words on this. Vengeance is an idiot's game. Ah, Mrs. DS, thank you for your punctuality. It's next to godliness, isn't it?
Speaker A
That's cleanliness. I'll have to take your word on that. Good day. [music] Aha. [music] [music] How you gentlemen?
Speaker A
Just fine, sir. Just fine. I must say always adventuring over mountain. Can I help you there?
Speaker A
Sure. Those supposed to meet my business partners here. They arranged a meeting, I believe, about some horses.
Speaker A
A fellow with a scar and a Mexican. Yes, sir. Out by the stables. Thank you. Have a wonderful day. Yeah.
Speaker A
Good men like you. You don't know me. You turn up in this town and you're helping everybody and everywhere there's troubles.
Speaker A
Who are you? Like I said, we had a run of bad luck in the West. Lost some money on a failed railway speculation.
Speaker A
We heard good men can do well in this country. Sure. And bad men. We haven't recovered as much as I hope from the war.
Speaker A
My family try. My sons are good boys, but it's been hard. Like I said, some people in the area will hold us back forever.
Speaker A
We need stability. I'm sure we're an old Scottish family. We work. My daddy taught that to me. I taught my sons work hard but fair.
Speaker A
And have you met my partner, Arthur Morgan? No. I met your son, the sheriff.
Speaker A
Okay. Mr. Gray here was saying how he had problems with a family. A family of degenerates. Oh well, nobody likes degenerates.
Speaker A
Hag and her inbredad sons, they ruined this county. They killed my uncle. You know that ain't right.
Speaker A
Problem is, we can't be seen to get too close. And we've got gold, Yankee.
Speaker A
We've got gold. I ain't no Yankee friend. I ain't nothing. My daddy came over on the boat from Scotland. I'm Scottish in the Braithweights.
Speaker A
Goddamn peasants. I don't know. Mongroves sleep. All you got to do is look at them.
Speaker A
How much gold? Enough. These are prized horses. I'm talking about them. They'll get you [clears throat] 5,000.
Speaker A
5,000 for horses. Easy. And where do we sell them these $5,000 horses? Over in Clemens Cove. Fell over there will run them out of state and give you 50 cents on the dollar.
Speaker A
Mister, you got yourself a deal. Just keep us away from this publicly. I mean, my sense is we keep all horse rustling away from the public.
Speaker A
Go to the stables on the south side of the manor. That's where they keep the thorough bread.
Speaker A
Crazy old fool. You should see the Braithweight woman. Hosea and Shawn were planning on going over to the Braithweights. [music] You haven't seen them?
Speaker A
No, not yet. If they're there already, they better keep their heads down. We don't need this to be any more complicated than it already is.
Speaker A
$5,000 for horses. We've been robbing the wrong folk all these years. Yeah, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Speaker A
But if we get even a third of that, it'll be worth it. What? So, how are we going to play this?
Speaker A
The place is well guarded, so there ain't no point in blasting in there. Make them think we're there looking to purchase.
Speaker A
Three armed men. You'd be armed if you were about to spend 5,000 on horses.
Speaker A
You should go in the back way, though. Boy, too many questions. Careful. There's a guard.
Speaker A
I'll speak to him. Okay. All right then. Can I help you, gentlemen? Yeah. We're here to see about some horses.
Speaker A
Horses? [music] Yeah. We had a an appointment with Mr. Braithweight, I believe. Yeah, I never heard about any of this.
Speaker A
Our partner wanted to make a significant [music] investment in some stables down here, [sighs] but perhaps we [music] should look elsewhere.
Speaker A
Well, okay then, but head on out to the stables. Someone will come see you.
Speaker A
[music] Hey, that's it. Nice and easy. No need to rush. Don't want to draw any unnecessary attention.
Speaker A
Whoa. All right, I think that's the stables [music] just up ahead. Headed's down. Play cool. We'll head around the front. Hitch up there.
Speaker A
All right, let's hitch up here. Let me do the talking. Hello there. Can I help you boys?
Speaker A
I hope so. Heard you got some horses. We always got horses. Fine horses. I mean, I don't get you, friend.
Speaker A
Yeah, you do. Come on. Listen, why don't you get out of here? You, Scarface, and your buddy.
Speaker A
Whoa. I don't like officials. We ain't officials. We're connoisseurs looking to do some breedings.
Speaker A
Come on now, partner. Okay, fine. Follow me. These here's mainly the studs available for purchase or for working. That's what you're interested in. What is your boys interested in? We represent a famous uh stable in stud farm from Saratoga.
Speaker A
Is that so? Unofficial. Of course. This here's Cberus. Uh-huh. Huh. Okay. Bandanas on. Don't need nobody recognizing us.
Speaker A
All right. I'll grab the white one in the middle. You get the other two.
Speaker A
Relax, boy. Come on. Good boy. Easy now. Marshall, you're going to tether him up to Javier's horse.
Speaker A
Okay, Javier, you're going to lead the stallions. Whoa, man. [laughter] Whoa, man. Easy. Whoa, boy. Easy now.
Speaker A
This way. Come on, Marston. You right point. I'll cover up the back. If there's any problems, we regroup at Clemens Cove.
Speaker A
Okay. What are you doing? Let's go. Quick. Go. Get out of here. I got the back.
Speaker A
What the hell you doing? [music] Stop. We're being robbed. I said stop these men. Stop.
Speaker A
More coming this way. Out of the field. Here they come. Whatever you do, don't forget the horses.
Speaker A
Watch out by that one. This is damn gloss into the fields. I'll kill that myself.
Speaker A
Look there. The fence is down. Come on. Let's try to lose them in the trees.
Speaker A
[music] I think we're clear. [music] No, look out. There's more of them on the road. Get back here, you needed bastards.
Speaker A
You see any more of them? No, don't think so. All right, let's get these horses to Clemens Cove quick before we run into any more trouble.
Speaker A
Whoa. You okay there, boy? [ __ ] Come here. Hey. Hey. Yeah. Hey now.
Speaker A
Hey, Morgan. Over here. You got him. Well done. Women's Cove's just over there. Come on.
Speaker A
Let's get this over with. Well, that could have gone smoother. That'll be on my gravestone.
Speaker A
Easy. You think they look like they're paying 5,000 for horses? I guess we'll see.
Speaker A
Come here. Got you. What you boys want? Heard you was uh heard you pay good prices for horses.
Speaker A
Oh, we'll buy more or less anything. Pop. That so. Sure, Pop. I'm Clay Davies. That's my brother Clive. We're twins.
Speaker A
John Arthur Javier. So, what are you? Cuban? No. I don't like Cubans. That's so maybe. Why? What do you care?
Speaker A
You ain't Cuban. Maybe I like Cubans. [laughter] Oh, you're funny. He's funny. Ain't he funny, Clive? Clive don't talk. We're twins, but I was born first. He came out all yellow and black, but he's okay.
Speaker A
Sure. Yeah, I know these horses. They ain't yours, but I like you and I'll give you I'd give you $650 for them.
Speaker A
I was told we could get up to $5,000 for them. And I was told the Boon was made of ladies tears. Only it ain't true. Not one little bit.
Speaker A
But I like you boys, but I ain't got more than 700 on me. You want it or you want to ride them fellas into town and maybe someone there will hang you?
Speaker A
We're going to need more than that. I ain't got no more money, Pop. Here. Take it or leave it.
Speaker A
Uh-huh. All right. You goddamn fool, Mar. Ain't no one around here got $5,000, boys. But nice meeting you. See you boys again, I hope. Come on. Yeah. Close the gate. Clap.
Speaker A
believed a yarn spun us by one of that gray family and imagined we was going to be wonderfully rich.
Speaker A
At the end of it, we felt like prize idiots. Howy dead serious. Got that right.
Speaker A
Hey fellas, I have a meeting with Mrs. Braithweight. My associates are already here. All right, that's enough. Move along now.
Speaker A
The hell we used to be here. Ah, please come in sir. this way, sir.
Speaker A
A gentleman to see you, ma'am. So, your friend, the other liquor vendor. Hello. Hello, ma'am.
Speaker A
Arthur, welcome. We were just playing cribage. Arthur Morgan, Mrs. Katherine Braithweight. Nice to see you again.
Speaker A
Apparently, so this one, he is big and as dumb as he looks. Well, he's surely big, but his intelligence is a matter of some conjecture. Some say he is as dumb as he looks, but I think well, he's not quite
Speaker A
that dumb. So, these are the boys going to Caliga Hall? Yes, we could take care of that for you, but one hates to be coarse. There is the question of money.
Speaker A
Oh, [laughter] we've got money, Mr. Matthews. Paper, bonds, metal. She ain't going to pay you with a certified check, you dump skull.
Speaker A
Ain't child birth just the most beautiful miracle. Seems a lady can birth monkeys after all.
Speaker A
Hop on. I'll fill you in on the way. No, I'm driving. Fine. Ready. Let's get out of here.
Speaker A
You was quiet in there. Took everything I had. That son of hers. I'll shove that silver spoon down his throat and pull it clean out of his ass.
Speaker A
A smug. Okay. So, what she got us doing at the Gray's place? She wants us to torture tobacco fields.
Speaker A
Said they ain't had rain in weeks around here. What? Using that back there. Moonshine burns faster than kerosene.
Speaker A
That stuff. Said it'd be fitting. She did. All I'm thinking is how about I try fitting my boot up your hook. No, you snotty old [ __ ] Jose really picked the right fell for te the manor, didn't he?
Speaker A
Oh, he was giving it as usual, Fennon. One of these families got gold stash somewhere, he reckons. I mean, I'm offer sticking to rich folks. I hate rich folks. There really barely some bloody money at the end of all this.
Speaker A
Jose knows what he's doing. Does he though? The master finagler of nothing. Easy, easy.
Speaker A
So far, we've destroyed the break. Still trying to sell the shine back to them.
Speaker A
Now, we're on this fool's errand, which I'm very much looking forward to. By the way, they were saying old man Graves double security after that [music] business at the saloon.
Speaker A
We just robbed their horses, too. That was you? Jesus. So, we're just going to drive on in there. Is that it?
Speaker A
Don't worry. I got a flat. Wagons go in and out of there all the time with supplies, equipment, payroll. Especially now they've taken on all that extra muscle. We're making a delivery, that's all. Just leave it to me. I can talk a
Speaker A
dog off a meat wagon. All right, then. Whoa, hold up a second. Are you not worried about damn grays English?
Speaker A
Excuse me? You not worried about damn grays? What sense? Well, they know you. Yeah, maybe you're right.
Speaker A
You know what? Here, I'll go hiding back. If you can act naturally and stop us from getting into a fight before we're ready.
Speaker A
I will try. Yes. Try and do an impression of a human being. I'm not going to go that far.
Speaker A
We're here. Stay out of sight. I'll do the talking. Hey, hold around there. Oh, yep.
Speaker A
What you want, boy? I've I've There was a thing a a thing at the saloon.
Speaker A
What you talking about? Well, I'm delivering the supplies. You're not the usual driver. You want a bottle, friend? Here.
Speaker A
Have a we drop. [laughter] I'm new. I I mean you no harm. I I've come from Dunny Gaul in Ireland.
Speaker A
You don't say. Yeah. [laughter] They said you'd understand some kind of incident at the saloon in town. I was told to bring this up here.
Speaker A
Ask no questions. I'll tell you no lies sort of business. H before the officials got there.
Speaker A
Okay. [laughter] Drive this way. I'll show you how to get there. Oh, thank you, friend. Have a drink, Sean.
Speaker A
Hamish. Good to meet you, Hamish. [laughter] Fine with the country you've got here. I'm not as fine as Kamar, but fine nonetheless.
Speaker A
My people come from Scotland. Is that right? Then you and I are nearly brothers. [laughter] Just over here. Guys, straight down the path here. It's getting so I can barely keep track of all these deliveries coming in.
Speaker A
Yeah, and they said they was looking for more drivers in town. I jumped at the chance. I never been a fell to kick a bit of honest work out of bed.
Speaker A
So, you folks been having a hard time of it, have you? Yeah, Mr. Gray's got a heap of problems right now with another family around here. Bunch of covetous lowdowns trying to sabotage his livelihood. Disgusting.
Speaker A
Oh dear. Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear that, Hamish. Sounds like you definitely deserve that drink.
Speaker A
You don't know the half. Just in there, right? You are. [laughter] You can unload it here.
Speaker A
In here? The horses like a a swift one, do they? Excuse [laughter] me. Um, nothing. It's grand.
Speaker A
[snorts] Quite a place you boys have got here. Reminds of one of them big houses there out in Dunny Call.
Speaker A
Real fancy places they was, Hamish. Real fancy. Because if some folks got all the money, we can build quite the fanciest places imaginable. Yeah.
Speaker A
While the average man saps on shite. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We can hold up in here till it gets dark.
Speaker A
How you getting on? Good. Nearly got these things ready. Okay. [clears throat] There's plenty of guards out there.
Speaker A
Here's how I feel we should deal with things. You head over to the dry barn.
Speaker A
Sure. And you? I'm going to deal with the fields themselves. We coat everything in moonshine and then we light things up with these little fellas here. Thankfully, it ain't rained and that old barn over there should go up like a torch. How many of these boys
Speaker A
you think you need? This should do it. Let's head out the back. Look, once they get wind of us, there'll be no turning back, so move quickly. Of course. I'm rebel stock, boy. I was bar burning down man of houses.
Speaker A
Well, burn quietly. Quiet. There's someone coming on the left. Huh? Oh, hey. Well, I I thought the wagon already arrived.
Speaker A
This one didn't. Strange. So, what you got there? Tools. Payroll. Okay. Drop it by the supply shed at the back of the fields.
Speaker A
Sure. See you later. You hear that? Payroll. Yeah. Let's get this job done first.
Speaker A
Okay. We'll take care of this fella. What? You douse the fields. I'll meet you at the bar.
Speaker A
Try to stay out of trouble. [music] All right. Next. That should do it. Should [music] be enough for here.
Speaker A
[music] Christ, I'm bored. [music] That's good for here. That's good. [music] [music] [music] [music] I'm going to deal with this, too.
Speaker A
[music] Think she'll go, Arthur. Line her up. Would you look at that? Yeah. Now, let's pour those bloody fields to the ground.
Speaker A
We'll hold this lot up. You get those fields properly going. Somebody shoot them already.
Speaker A
We got some horses on the savings. [music] Come on. Now we got company. Look out.
Speaker A
Where are these bastards coming from? Bastard. They seem to be taking a while. This is a goddamn mess. There goes out right out of here.
Speaker A
The wagon we saw come in earlier. Did you nick the horses from that? All right. Where is he?
Speaker A
This way. Jesus. Lord of them. Come on. Look out. Here come you. They didn't tell you there'd be an army of them. They didn't tell me nothing this way.
Speaker A
Almost dead. [music] I'm ending you. You're done now. Jose, you better get us paid real well for this. Really? Stay with me.
Speaker A
[music] [music] See, there it is. Maybe they haven't unloaded that cash yet. This is what it's all about. Oh, perfect.
Speaker A
Glad you're having fun. All right, come on. Take those horses. Well, let's see if the payroll is [music] actually in there.
Speaker A
Hurry up. Oh, boy. We did good, Morgan. We did good. Great. Well, let's go.
Speaker A
Okay, let's get the hell out of here fast. You follow me [music] in ahead.
Speaker A
Son of a [ __ ] Here goes straight [music] out the fruit gate. [music] Jesus, that's turned into a late party.
Speaker A
You call that a party? That brae hat got a wings worth, darling. Let's just get out of here first.
Speaker A
[music] Yeah. [music] I think we lost them. There we did. Easy. Quite a night.
Speaker A
Sure. Interesting little fight. Duchess put us into the middle of here. I hope him and Jose are right and that there's some money at the end of it.
Speaker A
Well, what now? Head on back to camp. You coming? Sure. Here [music] we are. Home sweet home.
Speaker A
You let Hosea know how we got on. We'll do. Hey, you got any tobacco? I'm busting for the smoke.
Speaker A
[laughter] Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called. Hey, Molly, where's Dutch? Well, however it goes.
Speaker A
I'm not sure all that line of thought serves you and me very well. That's because Cowpoke, you are a man of profoundly limited intelligence.
Speaker A
No doubt. Well, you and the old man and Dutch have been running around digging us ever deeper into [ __ ] Old Mr.
Speaker A
Pearson might have gone and lightened the load a little. Pearson, ain't you curious? I guess. Gentlemen.
Speaker A
Dutch, you tell him, fat man. It's peace, Dutch. The Adriscals. I mean, I think there's a way.
Speaker A
What on earth are you talking about? Get the words out properly, fat man. I met a couple of the Adrisco boys on the road in the town. Things were about to get ugly. But you know how I am in a
Speaker A
fight, huh? Like a corner tiger. [laughter] [sighs] Anyway, somehow [snorts] it didn't. But we got to talking and they suggested a parlay to end things like gentlemen.
Speaker A
General comb odrisk. Have you [clears throat] lost your mind? They're always telling us, Dutch, do what has to be done, but don't fight.
Speaker A
Wars ain't worth fighting. They want a parley. It's a trap. Well, of course it's probably a trap, but what do we got to lose finding out?
Speaker A
Get shot. We ain't getting shot because you'll be protecting us. It's a trap. You shoot the lot of them. If it ain't a trap, that's slim chance.
Speaker A
I don't see the point in any of this. It's a chance got to take.
Speaker A
I killed Col's brother long time ago. Then he killed a woman I love dear.
Speaker A
As you say, it's a long [snorts] time ago Dutch. Let's go. You and me with Arthur protecting us. No one else.
Speaker A
What about me? This ain't the time for tigers, my friend. Fine. Mount up then, Morgan. Let's go then.
Speaker A
You know, I've been fighting Comb for so long now. I can barely remember a time when it [music] was different. And you're still fighting him now. Make no mistake of that.
Speaker A
Here he goes, doubting Thomas. Is there any plan you ain't s on? Well, maybe you're right. Just nervous.
Speaker A
Let's not waste any more lives needlessly. I ain't costing lives here. I'm saving them. What did you say? We had Pinkerton's coming after us.
Speaker A
Because of Blackwater and Leviticus Cornwall and his private army. Then who knows when this local hillbilly thing will come to a head. H can we really afford to be fighting on all these fronts? And O'Driscoll, there is wisdom in that.
Speaker A
I hope so, gentlemen. But like I said, I'm nervous. Look, you ain't even going to be the one in danger. We'll get on over there, find a nice perch for you to settle into. You got that rifle, don't you?
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah. Then me and Dutch walk right in to the lion's den with you to cover us.
Speaker A
Okay, just keep calm as I give you a reason not to. Oh, we'll be fine. We got you. I will do my best. Oh, my dear and trusted friend. With you watching over me, I would walk into hell itself.
Speaker A
As would I. Hey, up there. Men on the ridge. Oh, Driscoll's from the look of them. I don't like having eyes on us.
Speaker A
We're close. You'll be the eyes soon enough. Maybe he's right, Dutch. Maybe I have pushed too hard. Got us into situations that could have been safer. I just I see all those mouths we got to feed. And I I
Speaker A
dream too big. Caring too much. That's my problem. Caring too much. There's no such thing.
Speaker A
This is horhit from both of you. It might be. Micah might be full of [ __ ] Comriscoll might be full of [ __ ] The promise of this great nation, men created equal.
Speaker A
Liberty and justice for all. That might be nonsense, too, but it's worth trying for.
Speaker A
It is worth believing in. Can't you see that friend? I don't know. Try. All I ask is you try.
Speaker A
All right, Cowpoke. You're going to peel off up ahead. We'll be meeting down on the plane. Find a spot just above us where you can keep an eye on things.
Speaker A
All right. All right. However this shakes out, let's aim to meet back at the fork in the road afterwards.
Speaker A
We'll be there, partner. Yeah. Easy now. [sighs] Hello, Dutch. It's been a while. Sure.
Speaker A
So, uh, how's your gang doing? They still believing in you. Better world. Pure world. How's that coming along?
Speaker A
Just fine. How's that score you stole off us? Which one? [laughter] Oh, I like that. It's like I said, this is a charismatic leader.
Speaker A
Lot of heat on us this time. Both of us. Whole heap of trouble. They offered me a price, Dutch, to bring you in.
Speaker A
Why didn't you take it? Well, still might. I am sorry about your brother. Yeah. Well, I never liked him much.
Speaker A
I liked Annabelle. You always loved the ladies. Dutch Vanderlin. I like that about you.
Speaker A
What are we doing here? Go home. Is this thing over? [groaning] Hello, sugar. [laughter] You ain't dead, is you?
Speaker A
Knock knock [screaming] it. I don't know. Column's got a sense. Handing him over to the lords. I don't know. Strange times. They killed Sheamus. The whole lot of them. With this fell right, we can draw them all back.
Speaker A
True. He's escaping. Shoot him. Relax. Relax. I got him. I got you. Did I kill you?
Speaker A
Not yet. No, [laughter] of course not. Not yet. But I will. Ugh. [music] Finally. Put his weapons over there.
Speaker A
Arthur Morgan, [laughter] [gasps] it's good to see you. Hello, Co. How's Woo? I hardly feel it. You will septic ain't nice. Now tell me [gasps] fine gun like you. But why you still running around with old Dutch? Could
Speaker A
come ride with me and make real money. It ain't about the money, Cole. No. No.
Speaker A
It's Dutch's famous car. You killed a whole bunch of my boys. Six point. I ain't got no clue what you're talking about.
Speaker A
Oh, you lie, my friend. And I thought Dutch preached truth. Let me go com and end all this crap between you two. We all got real problems now.
Speaker A
The way I see it, they get him. They forget about me. They ain't the forgetting sword.
Speaker A
If I were you, I'd run as soon as I had. [laughter] [sighs] A I know you would.
Speaker A
But see, we lure an angry Dutch in to rescue you. Grab all of you and hand you in then disappear.
Speaker A
So you only met with him to grab me? Of course. He's going to be so mad he going to come raging over here.
Speaker A
and a whole lot of you and I'll be waiting for him. Arthur. Arthur, I missed you.
Speaker A
[groaning] [laughter] [gasps] [sighs] [panting] [clears throat] God. God. Go off. Got [panting] shoot your hole.
Speaker A
I don't want to go to Mexico. I want to go home. Home. Hold on. I'll be back in a minute.
Speaker A
What the hell? What's he still doing down there? It's one thing torturing [music] a man. It's another thing putting him through stories of the homeland. He better hurry it up. I don't want to be here when the law comes for that s
Speaker A
beef. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think? Oh, come on, girl. Give me a hole.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [panting and sighs] Arthur. Arthur. Arthur. [sighs] I told you it was a substance.
Speaker A
My boy. My dear boy. What? They got me. But I got away. Yeah. Yeah, you did.
Speaker A
Miss Grimshaw, I need help. Reverend Swanson. He's going to set the law on us.
Speaker A
Oh, of course he was. I'm sorry, Arthur. It is a bit late for apologies. Swanson.
Speaker A
Mr. Morgan. Mr. Morgan, you're safe now. Well, let's get him to bed. You are safe now, Arthur.
Speaker A
Okay, [groaning] I got you. You're safe now. That's pretty intense. That's real pretty. Miss Grimshaw, will you sit with him a while?
Speaker A
Of course. You'll be okay, Mr. Morgan. You're home. [music] [music] [music] [music] I thought I'd be burying you, Mr. Mr.
Speaker A
Morgan. Well, not quite yet, River. Good. How you feeling? Uh, [sighs] about the same as you.
Speaker A
[snorts] I'm sorry to hear that. Well, take care of yourself. You too. [snorts] [sighs] [snorts] But I went I was over some whiskey.
Speaker A
You're looking real nice today, Bill. Shut up. We've been waiting for you, Arthur. Well, I'm sorry to have kept you.
Speaker A
Come on, let's get going. What's the plan? We're meeting a couple of the grays over at the saloon. They spoke to Bill about a job needing security.
Speaker A
Actually, the farce are stealing the horses for them. Why are we doing this? Cuz we need to stay in with them and they're paying.
Speaker A
So, what kind of security they want? We're about to find out now. Come on.
Speaker A
This seemed legit to you, Bill. Sure. Dutch said we was to keep on dealing with them until we find this gold.
Speaker A
Can we trust them? Can we trust anyone? Yeah, let's just see what they say. They said there was some big misunderstanding about them horses.
Speaker A
And what about board in their fields? They don't know we had anything to do with that.
Speaker A
Oh, that's so yeah, they think it was the Braithweights. [music] Listen, I know these great boys are biting now. This is on the level.
Speaker A
We're stuck in the middle of some ancient feud, but instead of playing both sides, we're being used by both of them.
Speaker A
They were saying that Catherine Braithweight. Hey, hold up. This don't feel right. Now it don't feel right. I could have told [music] I'll leave you m okay [screaming] son.
Speaker A
You idiot dead. Look at him. Of course he's dead. How could you not think this was a trap? You sure you want to talk about this now, Morgan?
Speaker A
You see a way out of here? Not right now. I ain't got good. You crazy must be even coming up.
Speaker A
You guys are in the gun store. I'll get the [ __ ] You take them back.
Speaker A
None of these bastards going to walk out of here. [ __ ] Heavy over here, fellas.
Speaker A
We need to get out. Oh, Jake. Jack the back. [screaming] Come on. Shoot. Hurry, Arthur. You need to get in there.
Speaker A
Go on. You're getting sloppy, Morgan. You see that window [music] and Sean's skull? Don't talk to me about sloppy.
Speaker A
They're in here, not there. Scientist. I'm a damn game. You sure about that? You're afraid your last yet. I think the craze might be on to us after all. Now it's sinking in so much from you. What damn loop? We
Speaker A
ain't getting out of this with nothing. That's assuming we even get out. Of course we're getting out of it. This is you and me, Morgan. We always get the job done. You call this getting the job done? You see Bill anywhere? Uh, no
Speaker A
[ __ ] See that? Those cowards are running away. Looks like most of them. Not all of them. Sheriff Gray. And what about there? Where the hell's he? We'll find him later. Come on, Sheriff Gray.
Speaker A
You need to get a hold on this town. It's going to hell. Who do you think you are? Bunch of two big thuds from god knows where. You're so dumb to think we don't know what you've been doing. Come out, sheriff.
Speaker A
It's over. We put down far worse than you. A hundred times over. This is the gray town. Always has been, always will be.
Speaker A
Only grays I see left around here is you. You want us to come out, we'll come out.
Speaker A
A Bill, guns on the ground now. Both of you don't do it. You know we can't do that. You put the gun down, chef. I'll blow his brains out.
Speaker A
You want to join your little friend there, do you? Either way, you're a dead man, Morgan.
Speaker A
[snorts] [ __ ] He was a good kid. Well, how the hell was I to know?
Speaker A
Let me see. They set us up once before. They didn't like us. We destroyed their farm. Should I go on? [screaming] Go easy on him, Morgan.
Speaker A
He was out trying to find a lead. Same as you. Same as Hosea. All you do is complain when things don't work out.
Speaker A
Except when it's your goddamn fault. You don't know what you're talking about. You don't give a damn about nobody but yourself.
Speaker A
Oh, you act so high and mighty, but you're no better than the rest of us.
Speaker A
I've ridden with you boys close on what, 6 months now, and all you ever done was complain. And you can fight, but you can't think. You can't do either. Okay, cowpoke.
Speaker A
Barl, take the boy's body. Very improper someplace. Quiet. Ma, [clears throat] best you and I don't speak for a moment.
Speaker A
I'm just so frightened by you. Get out of my sight, pair of fools. He was like an annoying little brother to me. What fun we had riding together.
Speaker A
What a godamn mess we are making of things. Don't be concerned. Everybody is doing all they can to find this child.
Speaker A
Arthur, have you seen that boy, Jack? Where's my godamn son? Where is he? Where's my son? They took him, didn't they? They took my son.
Speaker A
Who took him? We think the Braithweight woman took him. But Kieran saw a couple of fellows sound like Braithweight boys.
Speaker A
Where's my son? If anything, where is my son? Dutch Vanderolin. We will find him. We will bring him back to you. And we will kill any fool that had the tmerity to touch one hair on that boy's head. Abigail, you have my
Speaker A
word. Just get me back, my son. I will get that boy back. So help me God, right now.
Speaker A
Dutch, we just heard about Jack. You need some extra guns? Yeah, why not? Micah, Karen, anyone strange turns up, you kill them. rest of you. Let's ride.
Speaker A
Okay, let's go get that boy back. They must have figured out what we was up to, Dutch.
Speaker A
Yeah, we just got shot to hell by the grays in town. I know. I heard about Shawn, too. I don't want to even think about that right now. We have to focus on Jack.
Speaker A
I swear I'll kill everyone there. Easy, John. Try to stay calm. I'm fine. How the hell did they get to him?
Speaker A
I don't know, but we are getting him back and they will pay. I promise you that.
Speaker A
What about the gold? Who gives a damn about the gold? They got Jack. I hate to break it to you, but I don't think there is any gold. Or if there is, it's hidden somewhere no one knows. What? I've turned every stone.
Speaker A
For Christ's sake, Hosea, after all that, another perfect scam. We underestimated them. No, they underestimated us. Enough talk. There is no point arguing how we got here. This is where we are, and we are going to fix it. So, come on.
Speaker A
Okay, get your heads right. Nobody makes a move until I say so. All right, everyone. Dismount and come to me. We'll go in on foot from here.
Speaker A
First Sean, now Jack. We should have stayed out of all of this. Bit late for that, ain't it?
Speaker A
Quiet. We're going to fix this right now. [music] Come on. Let's get this done. John, you sure you're okay?
Speaker A
Like I said, I'm fine. Follow my lead. Both these redneck families think they can ruin us. I don't think so.
Speaker A
There they are. Who steals a goddamn boy? I'm going to let fly at those sons of [ __ ] Don, I need you to stay calm.
Speaker A
Get down here now, [screaming] you inbredad trash. What the hell do you want? Easy, John.
Speaker A
We've come for the boy. You must have known we would. Shouldn't have messed with our business now, should you?
Speaker A
Whatever [snorts] complaint you have with us, alleged [screaming] or otherwise, that is a young boy.
Speaker A
That is not the way you do things. Hand him over. Get the hell off our land.
Speaker A
if you ain't going to be civilized about this. [music] [music] Watch those balconies. [music] Come here.
Speaker A
[music] Behind the pillars. [music] Arthur, John, Jose are with me. The rest of you, watch out. We're here for any other arrivals.
Speaker A
Get in there. Find Jack and find that Braithweight woman. Jack, you in here? Jack. Jack, can you hear me?
Speaker A
Jack? Oh [ __ ] [screaming] Parker, get up here and give us a hand.
Speaker A
Get it. This must be where they hold up. There's something pushed up against it.
Speaker A
You hearing me, Arthur? Get up here. Dad, are you in there? Open the goddamn door.
Speaker A
[ __ ] God. Arthur, we'll hold them down here. We got more coming in. Arthur, get out there. We got this door.
Speaker A
Cover. There's a rifle over there if you want. [music] We're faster right here. Oh [ __ ] [groaning and screaming] [ __ ] Look out. We're coming from [music] the right.
Speaker A
Come on, you got you. [music] [music] Looks like they're running now. Let's run away into that room.
Speaker A
Come on. This must be it. [groaning] I can't see a goddamn thing. One two three.
Speaker A
[groaning and screaming] [screaming] [clears throat] You want me to kill you too, old woman?
Speaker A
You bastards. Where's the boy? We have lived in this house for 120 years. We never had no problem except fighting.
Speaker A
Where is the boy? Who took him? You killed my son. Oh, and I will surely kill the rest of them unless you start talking. Oh, I know your tag. Common scum.
Speaker A
Where is the boy? [clears throat] You filth. All right, we get her out of here. What about down?
Speaker A
[screaming] Now, let's get this hag outside. Any more of her sons to deal with? No, I reckon they're all dead.
Speaker A
That's right. Burn this dog to the ground. You boys sure Jack ain't in here? We searched everywhere.
Speaker A
[music] You got that one, Arthur? [panting] I guess that's the end of the goddamn cribage game over here.
Speaker A
Put me down. I never liked you. Why'd you take the boy, Mrs. Braidweight? You stole my boys are off limits.
Speaker A
You stole my horses. Ain't no rules in war Mr. Matthews. Yes. Yes, that's it.
Speaker A
Where's the boy? [panting] My sons gave him to Angelo Bronte. So my guess is son either there or on my boat to Italy.
Speaker A
Let's go Arthur. Come on. What we doing with her? Leave her. I told you she was crazy.
Speaker A
[music] [crying] It's going to work out, John. It's going to work out. Listen to Dutch.
Speaker A
Now, I don't expect you to understand this, but I have never been more proud of you than I am right now, [clears throat] brother. You're doing the right thing.
Speaker A
If I don't get that boy back safe, I'm She She'll kill us all. I know, but looking at this logically, well, that boy is fine. They took him to scare us. Nobody takes a boy to harm him.
Speaker A
He's right, John. What do you think, Arthur? A boy will be fine. But well, of course, Marston scared rotten me. We killed all those people. We stirred up all that trouble for nothing.
Speaker A
No, no, not for nothing. For living. Now we get that boy back and we go.
Speaker A
Trust me. Hey, Dutch, we got a problem. Not a problem. Visitors, a solution. Good day, fine people. Mr. Vanderland, Mr.
Speaker A
Matthews, I presume. And who are you? Rip Van Winkle. Huh? Good day, sir. Agent Milton, Pinkerton Detective Agency. Agent Ross. Ah, Mr. Morgan. Nice to see you again.
Speaker A
And to what do we owe the pleasure, Agent [ __ ] I don't know if you're aware, but this this is a civilized land now. We didn't kill all them savages only to allow the likes of you to act
Speaker A
like human dignity. And basic decency was outmoded or not yet invented. This thing, it's done.
Speaker A
This place ain't no such thing as civilized. It's man so in love with greed, he has forgotten himself and found only appetites.
Speaker A
And as a consequence that lets you take what you please, kill whom you please, and hang the rest of us. Who made you the messiah to these lost souls you've led so horribly astray?
Speaker A
I'm nothing but a seeker, Mr. Milton. You ain't much of anything more than a killer, Mr. Vanderland, but I came to make a deal. It's time. You come with me and I give the rest of you three days to
Speaker A
run off, disappear, and go and live like human beings someplace else. You came for me. Risk life and limb in this dan of low lives and murderers so that they might live and love.
Speaker A
Ain't that fine? I don't want to kill all these folk, Dutch. Just you. In that case, it'll be my honor to join you. Excuse me, friends.
Speaker A
I have an appointment to keep with. I think your new friend should leave now. Dutch, you're making a big mistake. All of you.
Speaker A
[laughter] Yeah, dreadful. We have got something. Something to live and die for. How awful for us.
Speaker A
Mr. Milton, stop following us. We'll be gone soon. I'm afraid I can't. And when I return, I'll be with 50 men. All of you will die. Run away from this place, you fools. Run. Come on. Get your damn hands
Speaker A
off of me, boy. What now? We get out of here and quick. Any ideas? I know a big old house hidden in the swamps outside Sanden. I'm sure they'll find us eventually, but it should buy us a few
Speaker A
days. Few days is all we need. There's a spot out by Shady Bell. Lenny and I got into that dispute with the previous occupiers. Place is well hidden. You and Arthur right out to make sure no one else has moved in. Lenny, you go follow
Speaker A
those fools out of here. Make sure that they leave. And John, we'll get Jack back and we'll get going. Rest of you, get packing.
Speaker A
Come on, John. This is crazy. We'll get packed up, but we need a new spot.
Speaker A
Follow me. I know the way. Okay. It's going to be all right, John. We should be going for Jack.
Speaker A
We will. We have to move everyone first before that bastard Milton comes back with an army. We ain't no use to Jack in jail or at the end of a rope. I don't even know what to think no more. Just
Speaker A
got to keep our cool. He's smart about this. Smart? Are you joking? We made too much noise once again. We drew him right to us. I mean, how many people we killed in the past few [music] weeks?
Speaker A
Far too many. It's Dutch playing his games. Hosea, too. Getting involved with those two families.
Speaker A
Master conmen working their magic. They thought there was a lot of gold. Yeah, they thought there was money.
Speaker A
Ain't there always? Look, Marston, I don't know what to tell you. Things don't always work out. That ain't nothing new.
Speaker A
Jack's gone. We lost Shawn, Mac, Davey, Jenny, and for what? We can't change what's done. Can only move on.
Speaker A
But one day, we need to start learning from our mistakes. Come on, it ain't all bad. We've had a rocky run. We'll be okay. We'll get through it.
Speaker A
Dutch will fix it. Dutch will come up with a big plan. Right now, every plan gets us into worse trouble. We're getting further from where we're meant to be going. Now, you can't put all this on, Dutch. You're worked up, and rightly
Speaker A
so. Just don't get too far in your head with all this. You'll never get out.
Speaker A
It's a goddamn mess. Yeah, that poor kid. We chose this life. He didn't. I don't know. I think this life chose us. You, me, Dutch, Hosea. It's been a long time now.
Speaker A
Joe has a lot's changed. I sometimes wonder if things was ever the way we remembered them. If we were ever who we thought we was like I told you, don't go down a rabbit hole with this, Marston. That won't help
Speaker A
nothing. I treated Jack bad. Abigail, too. I didn't want to believe he was mine. You know, when I was lost on that mountain after Blackwater, part of me thought I could just leave again and no one would ever know.
Speaker A
But some wolves thought otherwise. Look, you're here now. And this spot we're going to is close to Sandin. As soon as we get the others safe, we'll find this [music] Bronte and get Jack back. So, what is this place? Lenny
Speaker A
found it. Big old rundown plantation house. All right. Should be just down this path to the left here. Now, I was saying another gang was holed up there for a while, but we sent them on their way. Probably moved on to one of their
Speaker A
other hideouts. What's left of them? Where we got that dynamite for the bank job. Shouldn't be any trouble. Just need to check it's all clear. Now, where have I heard that before?
Speaker A
That's it up ahead. Four walls and a roof. We're moving up in the world.
Speaker A
You ain't seen inside it yet. Come on. Sooner we get this done, the better.
Speaker A
You sure this place is empty? I ain't sure on nothing. All right, let's leave the horses here and take a look.
Speaker A
Oh [ __ ] It's boys. Get ready. Get out of here now. Go. Damn it. Still some here.
Speaker A
I can see that. You think there's more of them? I'll check the house. You keep walk.
Speaker A
Watch out here. Any more of you upstairs? I'm coming for you. You hear me?
Speaker A
Where are you creeps hiding? You better come out where I'm out, you bastard. Didn't you get a message last time?
Speaker A
I will kill that crazy. Come out with your hands up. You can still walk out of here.
Speaker A
I knew you'd come. Soon enough, you are some of the coward like you. The bounty hunters, the freed men, the carpet beggars, the army of criminals who stole our land and our government.
Speaker A
I survived them all. Our fight will live on. Jesus. How's it looking up there?
Speaker A
I think that's a lot. Didn't even have to shoot the last one. Good. Come help me with this, will you?
Speaker A
Finally, some Confederate gold. What are you doing, Arthur? here. Give me a hand moving these bodies. Don't want the others walking into this.
Speaker A
Are you going to help me carry these then? Follow me. All right. This way. We'll dump the bodies in the swamp over there.
Speaker A
Okay, I can deal with the rest of the bodies. You go meet up at the caravan, guide them in.
Speaker A
All right, see you soon. [panting] Welcome home all you to my humble abode. We got fine living. Ignore the corpses and the alligators. It's paradise.
Speaker A
I love it. Miss Grimshaw, Mr. Pearson, would you two kindly work your magic? Arthur, take a ride with me.
Speaker A
Sure. Come on, George. Yes. Could I have a word with you? Not now. [clears throat] Come on, Arthur.
Speaker A
Can you believe that, girl? All I've got going on. And she wants to talk.
Speaker A
Everything okay with you two? I got far more important things to worry about right now than Molly O'Shea.
Speaker A
So where are we going to take a look at this eighth wonder of the civilized world sand I keep hearing about. According to the map, the road up this way should lead us right in there.
Speaker A
All right, I guess this day ain't over yet. Not quite. Good work back there, Arthur.
Speaker A
Everything went okay. Few loose ends. Nothing major. And John, about what you'd expect. He's taking it hard. We are going to get that boy back.
Speaker A
Whatever it takes. I need you to start asking around in the city for Bronte.
Speaker A
Subtle, of course. Public places. Maybe start with the saloons. Anyone who can put us in contact with him. Of course.
Speaker A
What about the Pinkertons? I'm fairly sure nobody followed us. We moved out fast. We should be safe for a few days here.
Speaker A
And then I think we need to move a little further. Put some ocean between us in all of this. The mess with those two families. Losing Shawn.
Speaker A
I see things differently now. For a long time, I truly believed a paradise lay somewhere in the west for us. But I just don't know anymore. So, we're leaving the country now?
Speaker A
Maybe. I'm still thinking about it. Whatever we do, we'll need more money. In any case, we have more pressing matters to attend to first.
Speaker A
Okay, there she is. A real city. The future. [music] Big cities. They're always repellent.
Speaker A
[music] Exactly. I'll find you in there. Go see what you can figure out. Yes.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] [music] Rank. I'm looking for a man called Bronte. Have you heard of him?
Speaker A
Don't know who you're talking about. Okay, never mind. Hey, friend. I'm new in town. Supposed to be meeting a man called Angelo Bronte. Any idea where I might find him?
Speaker A
Not in here, that's for sure. If he was to drink anywhere, it would be the the Bastile Saloon opposite the park with the Quincy Harris statue.
Speaker A
Appreciate it. Just watch yourself. He's got quite the reputation. Like I said, can't help.
Speaker A
Excuse me. Hard. Come on, girl. Come on. Move. What you waiting for? Out of the damn way. You got a problem?
Speaker A
God help. Stick them up, cowboy. [laughter] Yeah, real funny, Dutch. Oh, I thought so. So, here we are in a strange land of papists and America's very own Gamora.
Speaker A
This city's all of the same to me. So, how you get on? I've been asking around about Mr.
Speaker A
Bronte. From what I've heard, this establishment is our best lead, but I haven't had any joy in there so far.
Speaker A
So, I should just give it a shot. I think so. Just keep it cool.
Speaker A
You know me. I'll meet you back here or not. Funny you should say that.
Speaker A
Well, you know how it is. That's the state of Lemon for you. America's dirty little French secret.
Speaker A
[laughter] That's why we love it. Born and raised. Well, I'm sorry. Please excuse me. I I I seem to have some very impatient customers. Now, how can I help? You look like a whiskey man.
Speaker A
Sure. And what if you don't dollar, please? For a whiskey? Sure. That's the real stuff from Scot.
Speaker A
Okay. It really is. Here, have one for yourself. Well, thank you. You join me.
Speaker A
So, mister, can I ask you a question? You ever hear of a fellow by the name of Bronte?
Speaker A
Who's asking? Me. I'm asking. No, leave it, friend. What do you mean leave it?
Speaker A
Look, I don't know what business you in, but leave it, friend. You and your pal that was in here before.
Speaker A
Bronte Mr. Big Mr. Italian spaghetti eating long streak piss big and he makes my skin craw so you know what I mean friend where can I find him well I reckon you talk to them kids in the alley they'll
Speaker A
know I get and friend you'll be careful now immigrants they're not to be trusted It's really become quite the craze.
Speaker A
So, you just walk up to any man with a ring on his finger and turn it three times.
Speaker A
Yes. And then after 24 men, find any married person, male or female, wearing a wedding ring. Turn that ring twice.
Speaker A
And then the next man you shake hands with will become your husband. What nonsense.
Speaker A
Don't take my word for it then. Hi there. Have you seen any kids around here?
Speaker A
Oh yeah. Just through that archway there. Lucky for him he didn't have a ring on his finger.
Speaker A
Shut up. You believe in your fairy tales? Hey. Hey. You got a cigarette, mister?
Speaker A
Maybe. Huh? I'm looking for a fellow named Angelo Bronte. I talally. I know him. Everyone knows him.
Speaker A
Where is he? We'll take you to him. What it'll cost? I reckon I can pay.
Speaker A
$5. Where's he live? New York. I'm an entrepreneur. If you don't want to pay, then I don't want to walk.
Speaker A
Oh man. BR here. Come on. This away. Let's go, mister. You coming, Cle? Stay close. Easy to get lost around here. Come on then. You new to the city, mister?
Speaker A
Pretty much. Don't worry. No one knows it as good as me and Cle. Is that right?
Speaker A
Hope you won't need his services, but you got the doctor on the corner there.
Speaker A
Nice enough, feller. That's Bar and Shriber on the right there. Famous bookstore. Not that I'm much of a reader myself.
Speaker A
Now, over here's a real piece of art. That's the church of the Holy Blessed Virgin, mister. Modeled on the famous church in Tuloose, which is in France.
Speaker A
You been to Tuloose, mister? No. We're Catholics here, mister? Ain't Baptist or nothing. My mama said they used to burn Protestants and all, but uh we all friends now. Isn't that the most beautiful testament to God's love for us
Speaker A
all? Bet they don't have nothing so fine where you come from, mister. Look at them fine steeples.
Speaker A
Hey. Hey, you little pair of shits. Get going. He's coming after us. I'll kill you, paving bastard.
Speaker A
Bye mister. You all right back there, old man? Get back here. Just give it up. Far more. Stop [ __ ] Bastard got off. A damn street trash.
Speaker A
You [groaning] little bastard. I was just playing. My things back. Get off me, mister. I'm a good boy. I wash.
Speaker A
Give me my things. Here, Bronte. At home. Where? Um, big house on Flavian Street opposite the park.
Speaker A
Okay. Welcome to Sanden, mister. It's quite a town. Get lost. And the seal out of the way.
Speaker A
Good morning. Go over here. Where you been getting robbed? Who by bunch of children?
Speaker A
I won't inquire anymore. But I found Mr. Bronte. Seems to be some Italian Mr. Big in town. Everybody knows him, but nobody wants to talk about him.
Speaker A
apparently lives in a big house on Flavian Street opposite the park. Huh. Good work. So, what now?
Speaker A
We go pay him a visit. I'll get John. You meet us there. Whatever it takes. We need to get that boy back.
Speaker A
I cannot decide which I like less. The swamps or the city? Both are full of parasites, reptiles, and slime.
Speaker A
We're a long way east to land we know and far from real open country.
Speaker A
Got the best. There you are. You boys ready? Of course. What else do you know about this guy?
Speaker A
Not much. Just some slick little greasyhaired European clearly got power and money. Now listen. If we go in there and start shooting up the place, boy's going to get shot. That I guarantee.
Speaker A
Better like this going to have a lot of protection. No one going to get shot, Arthur. So, everyone just relax. We'll charm them.
Speaker A
Trust me. This the place [cough and clears throat] must be. You okay, John? I guess.
Speaker A
Excuse me, sir. We have an appointment to see Mr. Bronte. Who are you? You get your boss down here and now so we can talk about this like gentlemen.
Speaker A
Run along now, boy. Was that the special Dutch charm I heard so much about?
Speaker A
Relax. You looking for a brother? I got this. [music] Don't worry, boys. We come in peace. We just need to straighten a couple of things out with your boss.
Speaker A
Thank you. Why do you take his son? Excuse me. I said, why did you take his son?
Speaker A
We ain't got no problems with you, sir, [music] nor you with us. But if you want to start one, there's going to be a lot of folks dead in this room [music] before it's done.
Speaker A
So, you walk into my city stinking of [ __ ] and looking like this, [music] and you come into my house before you have a bath, and you tell me how to act. You ask me to show compassion. Have I not
Speaker A
shown you almost infinite compassion already by simply allowing you to breathe in my presence?
Speaker A
Indeed you have. Now we are simple country folk. All we have is each other. and you have gone and you have took his son over some dispute with some inbredad ex-slavers. It ain't got nothing to do with any one of us.
Speaker A
You had nothing to do with destroying the liquor business. We was innocent bystanders. And that which we weren't innocent of, well, we we most surely were ignorant of.
Speaker A
You you twist words. You lie shamelessly. You think you are better than [music] everyone else.
Speaker A
Theodor [laughter] Angelo Bront Dutch [laughter] Vanderland Arthur Morgan. The pleasure is mine. John Marson.
Speaker A
All mine, please. So, uh, can my friend have his son? Of course. Of course. [laughter] But should I be out of pocket over a misunderstanding?
Speaker A
Of course. I know you would not want that. Huh? No. No. No. No. So, how about this? You perform a simple job for me and you get your son back.
Speaker A
What is it? A couple of people have taken to grave robbing in the cemetery. Well, that is a fine place for it. The best.
Speaker A
[laughter] I love this guy. I love you. See, they've taken not only to desecrating the dead, but they've done so without paying a tribute to the living. Thing is, they see my men, of course, they run a mile. So, maybe you
Speaker A
two head off. Huh? And you, Mr. Vanderland, you tell me more about my manners.
Speaker A
[laughter] Salute. Salute. grave robbers. You think he's taking us for a fool? No idea. What choice do we have?
Speaker A
None. I guess this is idiotic. You know where the cemetery is? I think so.
Speaker A
Pretty sure I rode by it earlier. It's real impressive. You know, you did good holding your tongue in there.
Speaker A
Do you trust one word that comes out of that bastard's mouth? We don't even know where Jack is.
Speaker A
Listen, we found Bronte. We got in there. Dutch is with him now. All things considered, it could have gone a lot worse.
Speaker A
That poor kid. I ain't been a good father to him. I hope he's okay. He'll be fine.
Speaker A
I figure the Braithweights were going to hold Jack ransom for all the money we costed.
Speaker A
Must have sent him here so we couldn't get to him. But Bronte knows by now there's no Braithweights left to pay him. Jack ain't much used to him anymore. Let's just get this done. Let Dutch handle the rest. I just hope
Speaker A
you're right. How's you? Okay, I think this is it. Keep it down. Let's hitch your horses up ahead.
Speaker A
This way. Come on, let's find him and get the hell out of here. I'll try this way.
Speaker A
Keep it down. Don't want him to bolter on us. Hey, did you hear that?
Speaker A
Hey there, boy. Well, they can't be far. Let's keep going. Shush. Someone already cleaned this one out.
Speaker A
Shush. Wait, wait, wait a second. Hey buddy. Oh, I'm I'm sorry. I had a bit to drink.
Speaker A
Our friend died. [screaming] They can hear us. You know, they're still with us. Here we go. And we'll bust a door here.
Speaker A
You boys found my puppy's watching. How many you see? Three. Four. Hard to tell. You should have paid. Mr. Bastards are trying to draw us out.
Speaker A
Can't [music] see where you pick the right. I got your bad watch right here.
Speaker A
All right. Now, let's find their stash. Got to be around here someplace. Okay, but we'll need to be quick.
Speaker A
We can't go back to Bronte empty-handed. Let's have a look where they first shot at us from.
Speaker A
Robin grave robbers. We've hit the big time. We can't go back to birthday with nothing to show for it, Arthur.
Speaker A
[music] Come on. Let's quickly check that spot where it all kicked off. Think there might be something in here.
Speaker A
Got it. Good. Now, let's get out of here. Damn, the law's here. Come on. Let's see if that gate's open.
Speaker A
Locked. Let's just track back to where we came in. Damn it. Let's go around the side.
Speaker A
[music] me. [music] [music] I hate this place. Me, too. Why don't you go left? I'll keep going straight. All right.
Speaker A
[music] You all right, girl? Yeah. Well, it's lucky I ain't a religious man. Let's just get back there, collect our side of the deal.
Speaker A
You all right? He best not be playing games with us. He almost certainly is. Let's just see.
Speaker A
Keep your head. Act normal. How's he even going to know we did what he asked?
Speaker A
I got a feeling most things around here get back to him pretty fast. Like I said, we'll see where we're at once we got Jack.
Speaker A
Yeah. Hey [music] [music] All right, let's get this [music] done. Well, you took your time.
Speaker A
Where's your host? Like I said, you took your time. I'm glad to see you.
Speaker A
Let's get going. What a fine man. Hey, friend. Thank Mr. Bronte. You all right?
Speaker A
For everything. Yeah, I'm fine. Come on. You know, Arthur, Mr. Bronte has invited us to a garden party at the mayor's house and us just simple country boys.
Speaker A
Let's go. We have a new camp set up, Jack. You're going to love it.
Speaker A
All right, let's get this boy back to his mother. You sure you're okay, son?
Speaker A
I'm fine. Papa Bronte said you'd come for me. I'm I'm sorry. What for? For that for taking so long. I had a fun time. I had my own room with a big bed and a toy box and lots of books.
Speaker A
Did they do anything to you? Have you ever had spaghetti? What? What's that? It's food. It looks like worms, but it's delicious.
Speaker A
Is that right? Papa Bronte teach me lots of Italian words. Don't call him that, please. Do you know cavayo? That means horse and fanta that's a slipper.
Speaker A
A slipper. They gave me two pairs. One for day and one for night. Well, I'm just glad you're all right.
Speaker A
Oh, yes. I had the best time. But I can't wait to see Mama. Did she miss me?
Speaker A
She sure did. Like you wouldn't know. Real good to see you, Jack. You too, Uncle Arthur. Did you catch the bad guys?
Speaker A
Which ones? At the graveyard. Uncle Dutch and Papa Bronte told me. Just Mr. Bronte.
Speaker A
Yeah, me and your pod deal with him. I told him you would. Wait till you see this new camp.
Speaker A
Not another one. This one's got a house. Not as nice as Mr. Bronte's, mind you.
Speaker A
That's okay. We'll get you settled and cleaned up in no time. Oh, I had a bath last night.
Speaker A
Of course you did. Passing you. Uh-huh. You had a nice night then. Most enjoyable. Well, the man's an intolerable blowhard, but he stocks a fine bar.
Speaker A
How did you fellers get on? Any problems? A whole heap of them. We about doubled the population of that graveyard.
Speaker A
Hey, they're back. I think I see Jack. Abigail. Abigail, we got you, your son, everything.
Speaker A
We got him. Mama, he's fine. I'm fine, mama. They fed me good Italian food.
Speaker A
You ever eat that? Come here, you silly boy. You got him. You got my son back.
Speaker A
Dutch Arthur. Thank you. Thank [screaming] you. I got my son back. Jack. Jack. Jack. How are you, boy?
Speaker A
I'm fine, thanks. Everything's okay now. Abigail, can I go play now? So, well, we met Mr. Bronte. He is uh quite a character.
Speaker A
Is he now? You ever meet an Italian strong man before? Not outside of a circus.
Speaker A
Well, let me tell you all about him. John, you go be with your family.
Speaker A
Arthur, thank you. Boys, we got some work to do. Interesting work. But first, let's have a drink.
Speaker A
[laughter] We got Jack back. Well, the boy's safe. Thank goodness. Thank you, Arthur. I think [clears throat] I don't know how to say it.
Speaker A
Thank you. I understand. Come on. Do as Dutch says. [clears throat] Go be with your family.
Speaker A
Come on in here. He's back. All right. [laughter] Hey, make some room for John there.
Speaker A

Speaker A
How about a song usage? [music] contraind. [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] Yeah. [music and singing] [music] [screaming] [cheering] All right.

Speaker A
Well done. I'm very relieved. We all are. Welcome back, Jack. Thanks, Uncle Jose. Well, I'll let you fine folks get reacquainted.
Speaker A
Hey, Tahiti, dear boy. Tahiti, if you say so. Mangoes maidens paradise. An unspoiled paradise. Yeah, I hope so.
Speaker A
Faith, Arthur. Have [music] a little faith. I better tell you boys about the Here you are.
Speaker A
Thanks. So, tell us again. Sure. So, I got caught doing something or other. I was just a kid.
Speaker A
an orphan. Anyway, I got caught by some Hill Country sheriff stealing a chicken, I think it was, and he decided I was going to be hanged for it.
Speaker A
For a chicken? Yes. Only some folks thought it was unfair. And at the hanging, there was a riot.
Speaker A
They went to lynch me. But uh someone I never saw. He shot the rope clean through. Instead, they hang the sheriff and I got away with nothing more than a sore neck.
Speaker A
Was you scared? Absolutely petrified. [laughter] Fair enough. You love me really, Grimshaw. You know me and you should go get some drinks in San Die sometime.
Speaker A
I ain't sure that's a good idea. Ah, come on. It was one bad night.
Speaker A
Anyway, I won't disturb you. He asked me for a candlestick to light him up to bed. He asked me for my handkerchief to wind around his head.
Speaker A
And me being a little fool and thinking no, I jumped in bed beside him to keep my sail warm. Singing home boys home.
Speaker A
It's where I want to be. Home boys with either kneeb. [laughter] rumbled me. He tried me to the wall. He never let me catch my breath. I got no sleep at all. He up and he out.
Speaker A
We did it. Yes, we did. Thank God. You getting involved, Bill? Just getting my drink on first.
Speaker A
Okay. Come on now. Time for bed. You ain't joining the party, Reverend? I don't want to ruin it. I'm feeling sorry for yourself.
Speaker A
You all right there, Mary Beth? Yeah, I'm just watching it all. Go on, have another drink. It's a party after all.
Speaker A
But I think I know what that'll be like. Come on, Kieran. Join in. Oh, no. I'm okay. Thank you. I'll just watch.
Speaker A
That's it. Suit yourself then. See it for what the hell it is. Lordering suspiciously as usual. I I'm just trying to give you all your moments. Wow, very kind.
Speaker A
There's no respect for you on board the heartland stage about the seats about [music] 184.
Speaker A
Crowded [singing] with smelly man tobacco smoke tobacco people have ruined the drivers when they feel inclined. We'll have you walking all behind on your shoulders.
Speaker A
I promise when you're [music] walking [laughter] in 1849. [screaming] Very good. Lenny. [screaming] Oh god, there he is.
Speaker A

You're drunk. This ain't drunk, Arthur. It smells drunk. Well, then don't smell it, you stuck up piece of [ __ ] Godamn you.
Speaker A
Take it easy, Miss Karen. See, see what I tell you. Listen. Next time, listen.
Speaker A
Faith. Faith is all that matters. We had faith and we made it. We are going to make it.
Speaker A
We have a plan, my friends, my loved ones. A plan. It is a real plan.
Speaker A
We are going to leave this place and we are going to find our own paradise, our own heaven.
Speaker A
Tahiti, Fiji, Australia, the real new world, not this godforsaken dump that all of Europe's detritus has acted out its vengeance on.
Speaker A
We are going to be free. Free. Yes, we are, Dutch. That's right, boss. Two right Dutch Cafe all day long on the prairies I ride. Not even a dog to trot by my side. A fire I kindle cow chips around my coffee I

Speaker A
And I sleep on ground for water. My ceilings. My floor is the grass. My music's [snorts] the loading of my shiny white ass. My ducks are guns. My sermons the stones. Parsons a war on his pulpit bones.

Speaker A
[laughter] Is that right? It sure is. Well, the problem with you, Williamson, is that you're all talk.
Speaker A
All talk, huh? And what are you looking at? Not much. Just like a regular evening for you, Uncle. Well, I try to keep some fun in my life, Mr. Morgan. It's how you stay young. Is that right?
Speaker A

But we found joy to hear and make homes for gentle ones. And now I wish goodbye.
Speaker A
Mr. Morgan, still working. Mr. Strauss, what you been up to? Trying to wrap up our accounts before we leave. Mr. Morgan, so you'll be joining us in Tahiti.
Speaker A
I rather fancied Australia. A similar kind of people to us. Lots of opportunity. Dutch tells me we're going to be ranchers.
Speaker A
Perhaps, but um so far we have not raised many cattle. No. So, Mr. Morgan, will you help me finalize our business here?
Speaker A
This is filthy work. We'll need money in Australia for kettle and feed. I mean, why flinch now? You never have done before.
Speaker A
I don't know. Well, here they are. some fisherman by the name of Davidson, LJ Davidson, living in a place called Catfish Jackson near Scarlet Meadows.
Speaker A
A fisherman. And that's it. We're a union built on that, you know. Okay. Yeah.
Speaker A
Out of the damn way. Help me. Help me. Please. Yeah. Hey, you better have a damn good reason for being on my property, mister. You remember that loan you took, Mr.
Speaker A
Davidson? Well, time's long since up. I'm here to collect. I should have known. You goddamn budging men are all the same. Sure, I'm sure I got your money. Every stinking scent, it's in the house. Hell, I'll even offer
Speaker A
you a drink. We can toast to never laying eyes on each other again. I got a powerful thirst on me right now.
Speaker A
How about you? Well, you got to be stinking drunk already to do this kind of work.
Speaker A
Uh, I like doing it sober. If you take my money, surely you take a drink off me as well. That would be the mannerly thing to do.
Speaker A
Let's just handle the money first. Worry about manners later. Okay. I could be fishing.
Speaker A
You were catching flies. You weren't catching fish. Now come on. Let's get us that death.
Speaker A
This is as fast as I can go. You back soon. Someone's here, boy. [music] Wait, what's going on?

Drinks ready. It's right there, miss. I'll cut your damn head. Clean off. Who's talking now? Huh?
Speaker A
Come on. Come on. Come on. Don't hurt me. All right, son. I want to get out of here, but I can't until I find some money.
Speaker A
There's some in my foot locker. I I've been keeping it away from him. Ain't that lucky?
Speaker A
I think I know the sum. And that should cover it. Ain't you the good son? You should be proud of yourself.
Speaker A
You're wasting your time. Please. Here comes the big bastard. Get in position now. Open up that [groaning] the first attack on land. If you're lucky.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Heat. Just what is your game? You're one that's Tranomi. My dear Arthur, I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to thank you for your help with Jamie. He and Daddy are still arguing, but I understand that Jaime is
Speaker A
thinking about going back to college. Whatever happens, I believe you saved his life and we are all truly grateful.
Speaker A
Oh Arthur I have made such a mess of my life time and again. Why can I not change and be the woman I want to be? Why couldn't you change and be a man and put down all those fantasies that shroud your
Speaker A
judgment? Life is very confusing. And I see now that I'm not very good at it.
Speaker A
I'm afraid we've got ourselves into another mess. It's not my fault, but I need your help. I'm staying at the Hotel Grand in Sanden.
Speaker A
Oh Arthur. I know it is wrong to ask you, but I have nobody else. And for what we once had together, I beg of you, even though I am ashamed to do so. Yours, Mary.
Speaker A
[groaning] How have you been, Arthur? Okay. You seem well, Reverend. Yes. Well, maybe. I've been okay before, but Sorry. Is there any way we can leave this until later?
Speaker A
Oh, all right. Not a problem. Look out. Fish car, how you getting up? Yeah, I don't care if you're tax collector, post collector, damage taker. You're in the state of the federal government.
Speaker A
You're an enemy of this. Hey hey hey Heat. Heat. I uh think you ought to make some tracks.
Speaker A
What the hell? Come, please take a pamphlet and learn how you can save the light.
Speaker A
Claire, I need to pass. Arthur. Arthur. Up here. You came. Yeah, I came. So, uh, what do you need?
Speaker A
Wait there. I'm coming straight down. Arthur. Hello, Mary. You came? Sure. Whenever you call for me, I'll come.
Speaker A
Oh, Arthur. What's wrong, Daddy? Your father? I'm a bigger fool than I even thought.
Speaker A
I'm begging you, Arthur. I know daddy was not kind to you, but but surely you cannot hate a man for the sin of loving his daughter and wanting better for her than than than me.
Speaker A
Than the choices you made. What choice did I have? Did I ever have? Oh, I know you had to live by your code.
Speaker A
But your code is well, it's not right. Has your way been right, Mary? With you and Jamie joining a bunch of crazies and hypocritical daddy with his drinking and horn and gambling? Is that what a pure life has gotten you? Begging me for
Speaker A
help? Oh, Arthur, be kind to me. Please. Sorry. I am. I should have asked someone else, but But I'm the best guy you know at frightening decent people.
Speaker A
It wasn't that I didn't love you, Arthur. You know that. Mama. Oh, Arthur. We were so very young.
Speaker A
Think how different life could have been. Yeah, I think about it a [snorts] lot. I It all seems so long ago and far away now.
Speaker A
Will you help me try to save Daddy? Come along, Dan. Where are we going? What's the old lovable patriarch been up to now?
Speaker A
Oh, Arthur, you know sarcasm is beneath you. He's been gambling and drinking and other things.
Speaker A
Oh, the filthy roer. Where can we find him? He said he was going down to the Theodore Echart stables. Something about a horse. It's down by the water in the warehouse district near the train yard.
Speaker A
Come on then. Don't be a pompous ass, Arthur. It doesn't suit you. Oh, should I leave that to daddy?
Speaker A
Leave daddy alone. He suffers enough. Well, I suppose I can take some consolation in there.
Speaker A
No, Arthur. I should have ran away with you years ago. Well, you wouldn't. No, I didn't.
Speaker A
But Well, I don't know. So, what do you think he's up to? I'm not sure. He keeps saying it's a disgrace a man of his standing has to ride around on some old nag.
Speaker A
Standing. He's usually falling down. Arthur, he wasn't always this way, but it has got [music] worse. He's drinking and gambling more than ever. Hawning things off left and right, mixing with bad people. I'm just scared for him.
Speaker A
Don't worry too much. Whatever it is, we'll work it out. You doing okay? This is the place.
Speaker A
Let me go in and see what kind of estate he's in. Sure. I'll wait here. Good luck. Scream if you need any help.
Speaker A
Very funny. You can't stand there. What? In the street? Yes, in the street. Is it your street?
Speaker A
Just get out of here. Why? I said just get out of here. Listen, partner.
Speaker A
I'm waiting on a lady. She's a fine lady. She just gone inside. If I wasn't waiting on this lady, you'd be dead already.
Speaker A
But if you continue to irritate me, I'll kill you. I make my apologies to the lady at your call. Oh, I didn't mean nothing.
Speaker A
Never been so to me in my life. Apology accepted. Right there. I have half a mind to kill you myself.
Speaker A
Daddy. No. Oh, Daddy, please come home. You're tired, Daddy. Tired. I have no such thing. You get away from me. You head home. I insist upon it.
Speaker A
Leave me be. [panting] Damn nuisance. Excuse me, partner. Still as charming as ever, I see.
Speaker A
Oh, Arthur. He's up to no good. We better follow him. Okay. This way. He went around the corner.
Speaker A
Oh, hold up, Arthur. You can see why he has such a high opinion. Wait, Arthur. Any closer and he'll spot us.
Speaker A
Well, just follow the smell. Arthur, come on. He just went between those crates. Get this done.
Speaker A
Come here. Quick. Mind where you go. Mind where you go. Sorry. Do you think he saw us?
Speaker A
I don't think so. What did you say to me? I didn't say a thing insulting.
Speaker A
I'll wipe that goddamn spir clean off your face. Ain't you a little old for brawling, mister?
Speaker A
Damn you. He's heading across the road. You know, this is kind of fun. Shh.
Speaker A
He'll hear you. You could have cleaned yourself up a bit. I didn't realize I was here to impress anyone.
Speaker A
He just went left down that alleyway. What's he doing? Let's go find out. Excuse me.
Speaker A
Don't say I never show you a good time. I'm just glad you're here. What's he doing? What do you think he's doing? Well, he's either waiting for a woman of dubious morals or he's trying to sell something.
Speaker A
So, Ashton, you got the money? Seems he's selling something. Have you got the brooch, Mr. Gillis?
Speaker A
Yes. Yeah. Here's the money. That is beautiful. It's a family heirloom. That was mother.
Speaker A
Not any longer, Mr. Gillis. Enjoy the money. And should you need any more, I can offer you a loan at a very reasonable rate of interest.
Speaker A
No, thank you. I've heard what happens to folks who take loans from you. It's not easy to sell.
Speaker A
It's just a brooch. At least he didn't get himself killed. You don't understand. Mother left it to me. You sold my mother's brooch. How could you?
Speaker A
You. That's theft. Oh, speaking of thieves, I I see you found your outlaw again.
Speaker A
Hello, sir. Have you been well, Daddy? How could you? Mary, wait here. I'll go get the brooch.
Speaker A
Don't hurt anyone, Arthur. You'll probably kill someone. Hey, you Ashton, hold her right there.
Speaker A
God damn it. Hey, stop that coach. Get back here. [music] You hearing me? Stop the damn coach.
Speaker A
[music] God damn it. You stop right now. Oh, girl, easy. [music] Hello there. What the hell?
Speaker A
Yep. Do you know who I am? [screaming and groaning] You can't do this. You're making a big mistake.
Speaker A
Get out of there. Leave me alone. Leave me alone. It's just a brooch. I want that brooch. It wasn't Gillis's to sell.
Speaker A
I bought it fair and square. How much do you want for it? I guess I could give it to you for $100.
Speaker A
100? What do you take me for? Okay. Okay. Uh, I'm a reasonable man. Let's say 50.
Speaker A
Good enough, Ashton. Okay. Jesus. $25. That's my final offer. Here. Yeah. Take the damn thing.
Speaker A
Crazy son of a [ __ ] You don't know who you're messing with. Somebody's going to pay for this.
Speaker A
[music] Where's your father? I don't know. You want me to go find him again?
Speaker A
Not really. Let's take a walk. I'll take you to the trolley. Thank you. I got you your brooch back.
Speaker A
I won't ask. Probably best not. Hey, what are you doing now? right this moment.
Speaker A
Why'd you ask? [laughter] Well, I was wondering if you wanted to do something. Head to the theater perhaps.
Speaker A
Theater me. Sure, why not? It'll be fun. Arthur, let's go to the Rure. They have the strangest axe.
Speaker A
Strangest I can handle. Well, it's the normal business of life. I can't seem to get a grip on.
Speaker A
You and me both, Arthur. Oh, I've missed you. Don't start. You're an idiot, but you'll always be my friend.
Speaker A
Well, of course I'm your friend, but you ain't always fair with me. If I was fair with you and a good person, I'd have had you hanged a long time ago.
Speaker A
Well, that's true. So shut up and act like a gentleman. Or at least try to for once in your brainless life.
Speaker A
You're not a very nice woman, Mrs. Lyn. [laughter] Well, look at the company I keep.
Speaker A
I know. It's quite dreadful, isn't it? It's sort of beautiful in a gaudy and tasteless way.
Speaker A
It's the only way I know. Thank you. Oh, no. I didn't mean it like that.
Speaker A
I'm sure. You silly man. [sighs and gasps] Come on, let's go find our seats.
Speaker A
How about here on the right? Sure. After you, [clears throat] welcome and thank you for that thunderous applause. I am Aldridge T. Abington, the greatest assembler of entertainment since Nero himself. Do not doubt. As a child, when I walked the horse manure
Speaker A
covered streets of Sundeni, I never dreamed of the stir I would create in this locality.
Speaker A
Are you in a rush? The greatest show ever assembled. Prepare for the grandest excitement of your curiosity. Fire, snakes, and magic.
Speaker A
I encourage any of you to dabble in all three if you have a settled aversion to manual labor as I do. For entertainment is a gift that will see you through the winter better than any packed larder or

root seller full of canned goods. Now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome a truly stunning musical performance to the stage, Miss Robin Kinski.

Speaker A
[laughter] Miss Antonet Sanserino. Stop it. Oh, this might be as exotic as I'll get out.
Speaker A
Oh wow. Well, all right. [music] [music] You can see how this could go horribly wrong.
Speaker A
I hope she stays [music] away from the curtain. [music] This lady is going to catch herself on fire.

Each of my shows is truly incredulous, awe inspiring, and I'm sure you enjoyed. Thank you.
Speaker A
We flounder through the morass of humanity with only bright moments like these before it all goes dim and snuffs out in silence. So, thank you. What a lovely evening. Come back tomorrow.
Speaker A
All right. Well, shall we? Yes. That was fun, Arthur. It was. All right. You better take me to the trolley now, Mr. Morgan.
Speaker A
Of course. Quite ridiculous, but somehow very amusing. Sure. [laughter] My life wasn't supposed to Oh, is it too late for us, Arthur?
Speaker A
I can't lie to you. I'm a wanted man, Mary. If I If anyone close to me, well, they wanted to. And I can't have you wrapped up in there. But it's coming to an end. This time, it really is.
Speaker A
Run away with me, Arthur. Run away. right now and don't look back. I want to more than anything I want to, but I've got some people I need to take care of.
Speaker A
Once they're free, then I'm free. Then I can disappear. But Arthur, if we're going to run away anywhere, we'd need money.
Speaker A
Soon I'll have some. I know you won't run away. But it's a pretty dream.
Speaker A
Very pretty. But I will once I get some money. I had some, but then some fool got a trapped into a town that I can't go back to. That's another story.
Speaker A
I'll write you. Yeah. Good evening, Arthur. Hello, Mary Beth. How are you, Arthur? Fine. How are you? Um, well, I'm well. I think it's been quite a run we've had, but but we're still alive.
Speaker A
So, no regrets? Regrets for what? Well, for joining this band of maniacs. If you're a girl without means in this world, life is very scary. You boys care for me before no one cared for me. Well, life weren't very nice, Arthur. Not
Speaker A
after mama got typhoid. That was a long time ago. Sure. What about you? [clears throat] I heard you ran into that Mary girl.
Speaker A
Yep. And got me thinking how that all ended. Long time ago now. What happened?
Speaker A
Well, she didn't love me enough, I guess. Or I wouldn't change. Huh? Well, she was a fool then, Arthur.
Speaker A
Well, she put a lot of good years in on an outlaw. She definitely was a fool.
Speaker A
In these books, life seems so simple, but in reality, I I can't make head or tail of it.
Speaker A
Mr. Morgan. Mr. Morgan, we have a problem. A real problem. It's Tilly. What? She's been taken by them Foreman brothers she used to run with. Come along. The Foreman brothers, what are they doing here?
Speaker A
Well, I don't know what they've been doing here, but I can tell you what they're going to be doing here. Dying.
Speaker A
Sure. Do we need more guns? You and I can handle this, Arthur. Where are we heading?
Speaker A
I'll tell you on the way. Just get going. All right. Head for roads. And quick.
Speaker A
She's in roads. No, she's at a place called Bradley's house just west of there.
Speaker A
How do you know? When we first got here, she told me she was worried that our camp was near a [music] safe house that gang she ran with used from time to time.
Speaker A
And you told Dutch? No. She spoke to me in confidence. I suppose I didn't think it would be a problem. And now it is.
Speaker A
Oh, yes. What do they want with her anyway? I think I saw one of the foremans hassling her in Valentine.
Speaker A
Yes, they probably followed us down here. You don't know what happened? She killed one of them for good reason, but clearly they don't see it that way.
Speaker A
Tilly? Yes, young Tilly Jackson isn't as sweet and innocent as you might think. But like I say, she was defending herself.
Speaker A
She fled and felling with us right after that. I just hope we can get to her in time.
Speaker A
That's not too far. If they've touched a single hair on that girl's head, I will eviscerate the sons of [ __ ] See, you do care, Miss Grimshaw.
Speaker A
Of course, I care about all of you fools. Some just require a firmer hand than others. You was fish. Well, thank you.
Speaker A
I swear half of you would just rot in your own filth if nobody kept you in check. Anyway, talking to folks disappearing. Have you seen that boy Kieran since the party for Jack?
Speaker A
Come to think of it, no. That could be another problem. Well, he'd be a real fool to turn on us now, but I can't imagine he'd last too long on his own still.
Speaker A
Well, I'll get some eyes out. See if we can track him down. Okay, good. Let me know.
Speaker A
Yeah. I think there's a guard. I'll deal with him. Whoa. What you want? Kind sir, we're lost and in need of [music] some help.
Speaker A
Don't get out of here. Oh, I see that kindly face of yours, and I know [music] that for the right inducement, a gentleman such as yourself could be mighty kind.
Speaker A
Now, get out of here. Oh, now you keep saying that, but you don't mean nothing by it.
Speaker A
I said you said your last words. Well, what are you waiting for? Get in there and find our girl.
Speaker A
What the hell? What the hell's going on? Will one of you deal with this?
Speaker A
What the hell? Where? It's okay, Miss Tilly. Now, let's get you out of here.
Speaker A
I thought there was I [sighs] It don't matter what you thought. It's okay. All right, let's go.
Speaker A
Oh, come along, miss. Thank you both of you. What happened? [laughter] It was Anthony for he thinks he owns me.
Speaker A
I remember. Where is he? He went out hunting or something. There were five of them, I think.
Speaker A
Well, we killed those fellas there. There they are. Till it, grab that gun. Anyone approaches, shoot them.
Speaker A
Oh, don't worry. I'll be just fine. Now catch that bangster. The one bring a All right, get after them.
Speaker A
Good shot there. Straight ahead. I saw him go through those bushes. They're heading down the hill to the water. [music] Oh, there they are by the shoreline.
Speaker A
Oh, you're good. Hey, all of you. All right. I think that last one's the boss. Last women. We'll take him back [music] to You don't know who you're dealing with.
Speaker A
Don't kill him yet. [music] I want Tilly to have the last word on this bastard.
Speaker A
Don't let him get away. Come here. That's it. Now, make sure you time [music] up real good.
Speaker A
You son of a [ __ ] Make these nice and tight. All right, you bring that bastard back to Tilly so we can all have a nice little chat. I'm going to head over there now to check she's okay. With
Speaker A
pleasure. [clears throat] Do you have the first idea what you're getting into? I'm Anthony Foreman.
Speaker A
Well, thanks for the introduction, Anthony. Is that Foreman with an A? I want the Undertaker to spell it right.
Speaker A
Funny coward. Oh [ __ ] Funny bastard. Who are you running with? She didn't tell you.
Speaker A
She didn't tell me nothing. This rope is cutting into me. Don't feel so good when you're the one tied up, does it?
Speaker A
She killed my goddamn cousin. Shut the hell. Go to hell. Oh, don't worry. You'll be seeing him soon enough.
Speaker A
What are you going to do with me? I ain't sure yet. Reckon I let Tilly decide what you deserve.
Speaker A
You're wasting your time with that girl. She's a liar. She'll screw you over like she did me. I should have shot the [ __ ] yesterday like I said I would.
Speaker A
You just shut your mouth now, Anthony. I've heard enough. Shut your mouth. All right. All right. Damn it.
Speaker A
[music] All right, here's your man. Bring him here. Dump him on the ground here.
Speaker A
I want to get a good [music] look at this monster. So, he's still alive then?
Speaker A
I guess. You see this girl? You leave her alone. She killed my cousin. Your goddamn cousin had it coming. Anthony Foreman, I don't care if she shot your daddy and cooked your mama for breakfast. She's mine. She ate yours.
Speaker A
You know, a friend of mine, he always says revenge is a fool's game. Now you want all your boys dead. She had her reasons.
Speaker A
We was family. Tilly Jackson, you foreman boys ain't no kind of family I want. Kill him, Arthur.
Speaker A
You want that? I want him to go away and tell the remaining of his cousins and the clowns he rides with to leave me alone.
Speaker A
Now, you think you can do that, Anthony? Or should I slit your throat and just save us all the bother? I'll leave you alone. History is done.
Speaker A
History is never done. It's your call, Arthur. But I'd slit his throat. Go on.
Speaker A
All right, you. Let's get you home [sighs] now. Get out of here. Let's move.
Speaker A
Not again. Mom's for the poor. You kind sir. Will you help the poor? I ain't so kind.
Speaker A
Yes, you are, sir. You have it in you. I can tell. I'm a nasty bit of work, father.
Speaker A
You're wrong on two counts, sir. I'm a humble brother, a penitent monk, not a priest. And you're a magnificent bit of work. You may have made some some poor choices, but which of us hasn't?
Speaker A
You have no idea. But you do and God does and that's enough for me and for him.
Speaker A
We shall see that we shall, sir. But why don't you hedge your bets and give two bits to the poor? There are so many who will go hungry tonight.
Speaker A
Sure. Bless you, sir. How you getting on anyhow? These are a somewhat apathetic lot. I'm afraid my um my mentor says that America is designed to induce apathy in people.
Speaker A
It's a wonderful insight. He must be a wise man, your mentor. Well, sometimes he's a downright fool, but well, usually he's the best man I know.
Speaker A
That's wonderful. The the thing is I'm Well, poverty will always be with us, but slavery, I thought we had banished that. But Sandinia is acting as a staging post for shipping slaves out to some of the islands.
Speaker A
I don't believe you. It's 1899. Maybe you should take a look for yourself. I've heard that the pawn broker down the block around the corner, the one with the green door, well, they say he sells more than fourlororn
Speaker A
trinkets. Help the poor. You've lost him. Should have moved. Whoa. Hi there, mister. Feel free to browse.
Speaker A
Shall do. Got a few paintings over there. Something for the wife, maybe. A bit of a strange question, but you heard tell of slavers around here, buddy. What?
Speaker A
Where are they? Who people you're hiding? I know they're here. Don't lie to me. Please. They made me do it. I was always good to them, but they they they forced me to do it, sir. I swear.
Speaker A
Where are they? There's a door behind the bookcase there. Just pull the big red book called The Scourge of Crossbreeding by Harold McDougall.
Speaker A
They made me do it. I swear. Hello. Gajor Junos, help please. And you know, please, I'm on your side. It's going to be okay.
Speaker A
Now, don't worry. I'm on your side. much. Gracias. Come with me. Don't worry. You're going to be all right now. I promise.
Speaker A
That's it. Come on. You'll be safe soon. This way. Not much farther. Poor bastards.
Speaker A
Welcome back, sir. Brother, brother Doran's friend, Arthur. Arthur Morgan. Come on. You were right. I found these two imprisoned in that shop.
Speaker A
Oh my. That's Well, they are blessed to have met you, Arthur. Trust me in that they're very unusual. I don't think they speak much English.
Speaker A
My brothers, come. Let's go get something to eat. Mon Ka, please. Hey, he forgot this.
Speaker A
Oh, yes. Thank you. I uh here payment for your services. I could not have freed these men myself.
Speaker A
Give it to the poor brother. Thank you. I will. Like I said, magnificent. Come on. Come, come, come.
Speaker A
Come see me again sometime. I often work at the old church on Gasper Street in St. Francis.
Speaker A
Please Oh, it's warm. W an upside down M. I don't care. Oh, you will. It's like swimming. It takes time, but then it's easy and the whole world opens to you.
Speaker A
I hate this. It's too hard. Take your time. I lick. I lick like I like the sooner.
Speaker A
God damn it. What does that even mean? Watch your language, please. Summer. Summer. I like the summer.
Speaker A
Don't worry. You know the letters. You know the sounds. You're nearly there. I got no use for stupid books.
Speaker A
I don't have any use for stupid books. If you ain't, why are you making us do it?
Speaker A
No, you should say I don't have any, not I got no. I think you may be confusing things a little now, Brother Dorcis.
Speaker A
Go over it first in your head. Take your time. Morning, sister. My friend Mr. Morgan.
Speaker A
Oh, sir. Brother Dorking told me about the wonderful thing you did. Oh, he talks a lot of nonsense. No offense.
Speaker A
None taken. None taken at all. Hey, stop. These kids to the worst. Don't hurt him, please.
Speaker A
We'll be at the cathedral. Oh, no. My mother gave me that when I was a girl.
Speaker A
You little bastard. You all right? Oh, I'll live. Kid did this. You know him?
Speaker A
He robbed me. Which way you go? That way, I think. Thank you. Get off me.
Speaker A
Where's my watch, you little weasel? I don't know nothing about no damn watch. Last Saturday, I saw you steal it with my own two eyes.
Speaker A
Hey, you. Why don't you leave the boy alone? What's it to do with you?
Speaker A
I can hit a lot harder than you. I promise you that. All right, forget it.
Speaker A
Little [ __ ] ain't even worth my time. Thanks, mister. Hey, you want some company, mister?
Speaker A
No. You sure? Hey, what? I don't know you. This is Dallas. Oh, no. Not you. Get away.
Speaker A
I mean, help. This man is bothering me. Someone help me. Officer, help. Oops. What the devil?
Speaker A
Damn. Oh [ __ ] I can't believe this [ __ ] gone. Ah [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] heat.
Speaker A
for nothing. Good morning, mister. How do you do, sir? I see him. How do you do every day? It's a new challenge. Father, when I was younger, those challenges used to frustrate me.
Speaker A
But then over time, I learned to ask, Mr. Morgan. Excuse me, father. Sister, I got your cross.
Speaker A
You didn't. No, I did. I hope the boy He's fine physically. Mentally, he's a piece of work. But who am I to say?
Speaker A
Brother Dorkans was right about you. You are the most wonderful man. Brother Dorkans is greatly deceived, I'm afraid. But I'm happy to help a little.
Speaker A
Thank you. You see, it's a thing, but my mother gave it to me when I was a novice shortly before she passed. You are the most wonderful man.
Speaker A
Well, excuse me, father, sister. Enjoy your day. See, father, brother Dorkins found him. I told you, brother Dor was fantastic.
Speaker A
Hey, Arthur. Come on. If we're going to make it to this party, we sure as [ __ ] better clean up a little.
Speaker A
So, we're doing this? Oh, yeah. Old friend Dutch Vander Linda's finally showing his true colors.
Speaker A
Social climbing. Old Senor Bronte, that horrendous snake has invited us to the ball, Cinderella.
Speaker A
So, my suggestion is we go and get you a gown. You son of a [ __ ] [laughter] We are ridiculous. Utterly. I ain't never been to a ball in my life.
Speaker A
Nor have I, if I am being honest. I used to quite often. There could be fine pickets.
Speaker A
No, no, no, no, no pickpocketing. We are here to make real contact. What kind of contact?
Speaker A
I don't know. We'll find what we can. All I know for sure is we are going to a party at the mayor's house and the guest of honor is the worst crook in town. I'm sure [laughter] that we will find
Speaker A
something. Okay. Gentlemen, Luca, I'm afraid the mayor does not allow guns at official functions after last year's incident.
Speaker A
Luca here will take you to Mr. Bronte. I believe he is expecting you. Follow me, gentlemen.
Speaker A
This way, please, gentlemen. A senior Bronte will be so pleased that you made it.
Speaker A
We are honored to be. That's wonderful. Wonderful. That come this way. Uh, what a beautiful evening it shall be. Mr. Bronte is a very good friends with the mayor. Good evening, Pierre.
Speaker A
Seen. As long as the mayor behaves himself, you know, Mr. Bronte, he has a that thing, you know, respect.
Speaker A
Joseia Bill, you join the party. We'll meet you out back after we pay our respects to Senor Bronte. Gunga, we'll meet you out in the balcony when you're done.
Speaker A
[laughter] Ah, the angry cowboys. You arrived and you've washed. This is quite a party you've invited us to.
Speaker A
Yes, quite something. Although I'm not quite sure what. So this is Sandinh High society.
Speaker A
Yes, apparently so. And all these people, these are friends of yours, Seenor Bronte. No, no, no. Not quite. Not quite. But they certainly are afraid of me. Like that one. See that wretch? He's the mayor.
Speaker A
Henri Lemieux. He'll do anything for a dollar. And I mean anything. Politics is a foul business.
Speaker A
Oh, and that one too. That is Alberto Fuzar. He owns a sugar plantation out on the island and he comes here to wh and despoil himself.
Speaker A
[laughter] Oh. Oh, and that that is Hobart Crawley, [laughter] a Confederate major in the war. I mean, hero they say, but that is his very young wife. I mean, a young mistress. That's the natural order of things. Yes. But their young wife is
Speaker A
unsemly. Oh. Oh, the [laughter] I have [gasps] no sympathy for them because whoever is stupid enough to get tricked by the Americans now they [laughter] get what they deserve.
Speaker A
Yes. And a letter to the mayor. Oh yeah, that will save you. [laughter] And that that is Hector Felos, the self-righteous newspaper man. Maybe maybe you will kill him for me one day.
Speaker A
Well, we're not paid killers as such. done cold blood. Anyway, I did not know you were so particular that uh you wouldn't help a friend.
Speaker A
Oh, I'm willing to help in any way I can. Uh within reason. I'm going to pretend to understand what that means.
Speaker A
I meant no offense, sir. None taken. None taken. [laughter] All these vulgar people, they hate me.
Speaker A
[laughter] Well, uh, it has been wonderful conversing with you, but I can tell that you are very busy, and I won't waste any more of your time.
Speaker A
Yes, yes, yes. Go, enjoy yourselves and mingle with this vulgar scum. It'll make you long for the days when you could shoot each other and screw cows out on the open range.
Speaker A
Those sure were the days. Good day, gentlemen. Good day to you. But before you go, what uh exactly are your plans here?
Speaker A
Well, we've not made any. Well, we we are going to need some money. Money? Yes, of course. But there's there's money at the trolley station.
Speaker A
They keep a lot of cash there in the day. Now, I could not involve myself in such matters, but you as a guest, yes, as my guest do it, huh? Okay. [laughter] Good day, gentlemen. Goodbye.
Speaker A
Okay. [gasps] [laughter] I'll show you to the party, gentlemen, if you'll kindly follow me.
Speaker A
Gentlemen, enjoy your evening and welcome once again to Sandin Chao. Gentlemen, let's go ingratiate ourselves.
Speaker A
Evening. Okay. Go find the mayor if you can and stay out of trouble and steal nothing unless it's information. Of course. Jose, you go find us someplace to rob. Bill, go make us some new friends and we'll find
Speaker A
out we're here. We will move. Good evening, sir. Good evening, sir. Want to know the work.
Speaker A
Good evening, sir. Alfred your phone. Come on. Where can I help you, sir? How was the show I heard you went to?
Speaker A
Outrageous. These dancers that culture for you. Gentlemen, I hope you're having a fine evening. Mr. Mayor, wonderful to see you. I knew this intellectual here was just insulting me regarding the I did no such thing. But Mr. Lemieux, I suggested
Speaker A
that all of us as Americans had a duty to take care of people living in this land and that extends to Sanden. But Mr.
Speaker A
Miller, the Indian problem is not an urban problem but a rural problem. And here in Sandin, we have problems of our own.
Speaker A
I beg to differ, sir. It is not a rogue problem, but a human problem, an American problem. We want to end this century yet more bismerched.
Speaker A
Blood and guilt because of more sins. Do we wish to better ourselves? I hope the latter as of course do I. But things are more complex in matters of men than in the heads of the intellectuals.
Speaker A
I see you still got that. And it takes more than a steady line in insults to succeed in newspapers.
Speaker A
At least it ain't complex. And you and only an idiot like you, buddy, would try to make it so.
Speaker A
I will not deny idiocy, sir. But perhaps now is not the time. Haha, Typical Pansy.
Speaker A
You are drunk, Ferdino. I'm not drunk. You fool. But this man, this man loves [ __ ] Hey, you are pretty drunk.
Speaker A
What say you and me cool off? Get your hands off me. Sit down and calm down.
Speaker A
Count to a thousand. You can rejoin the party. Thank you, sir. My pleasure. I hope you're enjoying my party.
Speaker A
Mayor allegedly. That's quite a place you got here. It's not mine and the city is horribly in debt, but we can still put on a good show. Do you know every miller?
Speaker A
My lord, rider. Well, we seem to have another deranged drunket on our hands. Shall we?
Speaker A
My lord, they're fantastic. Excuse me. Excuse me. Mr. Cornwall was quite insistent, I'm afraid. Uh, he shouted down the telephone for several minutes.
Speaker A
Mr. Cornwall is a horse's ass and a bad horse. I'm very sorry, sir. It's not your fault. I'm a fool for trusting him. I'll come and sign it in a minute. Let me enjoy the fireworks.
Speaker A
Of course. Please say something about Cornwall. Yes. Find out what? Sure. That's short. No problems. Everything's fine. We have the place well secured. Good. Mr. Bronte has a habit of wandering about and reading whatever he likes.
Speaker A
We're watching him and his men like holl. Thank you, Mr. Ter. Hey, is everything taken care of? The telephone, it keeps ringing.
Speaker A
The mayor said he will sign later. Marie, Marie, find that little reprobat jip and beat him. I will not have standard slip in this house.
Speaker A
Have you lost your mind? I said, have you lost your mind? Come here. Come here.
Speaker A
Look at me. Look at me. Who do you think you are? This area is not meant for the likes of you. You know this. The standards in this house are slipping. This is a final warning to you, miss. A final warning. Now get out
Speaker A
of my sight. [music] Mr. Leviticus Cornwall. Top secret. Extremely confidential. Very interesting. Sir, what is wrong?
Speaker A
[music] Find anything? I think so. Nothing. This town is a waste of time. Maybe not. [music] I think gentlemen, I think we're done here.
Speaker A
[music] What did you find out? There's plenty of money mov here, of course. And I I think I found out how we can grab some of it. A big bank. Real one, I mean, but not yet.
Speaker A
A city bank, maybe. And a stuffed one. If we're going to leave, that could be the one thing we need. There's also that trolley car station Senor Bronte told us about. And I heard about a high stakes poker game.
Speaker A
Come on. Here comes Lenny. All right, let's get in. Go home. I ain't never felt so awkward in all my life. All them folk also pleased with themselves. Oh, high society's pigeon [ __ ] If you ask me, it's more like
Speaker A
torture. Well, that's sort of the point, isn't it? Let the people torture themselves. Here's them papers I took.
Speaker A
Anybody see you take this? I don't think so. H I might have an idea. Let me think on it.
Speaker A
[sighs] [laughter] Interesting times, I guess. So, what's next? Dancing lessons deport? More along the lines of armed robbery.
Speaker A
Jose is handling reconnaissance on the bank. He and Abigail are going to run some distractions, see how the law reacts.
Speaker A
Good. Oh, and I spoke to Evelyn Miller, fine man here helping the Indian chief we saw. Yeah, I met him too with the mayor.
Speaker A
He's lobbying officials in Sandin on their behalf. Maybe we could help. Maybe. Now, I think there's a lot of money on the riverboat. A lot of money. And Trani, he's investigating for us. He says to meet him at the tailor.
Speaker A
Okay. One big score down here, Arthur. And we disappear. We are almost heading home.
Speaker A
Where is home? I don't know exactly, but I can smell it. I'm going to go investigate this trolley thing old Bronte was talking about.
Speaker A
Okay. [snorts] Hello. You must be damn stupid if you think you can come back here.
Speaker A
Come now. We have an appointment. Bonjour. Hello. Oh, yeah. Excuse me. Hey, do I know you?
Speaker A
Mr. I believe we've met. We have at that guest that party. Oh, Evelyn Miller.
Speaker A
Unfortunately so, Mr. uh Arthur Morgan, at least sometimes. Can I say something rude? Sure.
Speaker A
The mayor thinks you robbed him. To be clear, he wasn't very upset about it. He rather liked you.
Speaker A
Okay. Do you uh Well, I mean to say, can you steal things? Is there a reason you're asking me to incriminate myself, Mr.
Speaker A
Miller? Well, I'm sorry. Have you met? This is Rainsfall, a great chief, and his son, Eagle Flies.
Speaker A
Gentlemen, we saw you in the wagon train crossing [music] the river at Cumberland Falls, and at the party, you were upstairs.
Speaker A
You have great powers of observation. Yes, my people, if we are even a people anymore. We've fought hard. We've made peace treaties and those treaties were broken and we've been moved and punished and punished and moved.
Speaker A
I'm sure. And now I am told we are to be moved again. Clearly contravening the peace treaty signed 3 years ago. This will lead to war.
Speaker A
No, my son will not. We cannot fight another war. They have got stronger and we have become far weaker. Mr. working.
Speaker A
It's [snorts] uh bad business. It's to do with oil. I know it is, but I need the proof. I believe there were some prospectors who were on their land a few months ago who have filed reports with Leviticus Cornwall and the state
Speaker A
government claiming huge reserves of oil under their land them. So, you want me to try and steal it?
Speaker A
Obviously, they can. and even more obviously I would be useless. Listen, I realize that it is a ridiculous request, but we're very desperate.
Speaker A
I'm not a dogooder, Mr. Miller. Gentlemen, I'm very sorry for your predicament, but I'm a working man. I got problems of my own.
Speaker A
We will pay you very handsomely, Mr. Morgan. How much? I told you they're all mercenaries.
Speaker A
[laughter] There's a price on my head in two states, my friend. The government doesn't like me any more than it does you. Like you, I've been running for as long as I can remember.
Speaker A
And like you, my time here is non done. We understand and we will pay.
Speaker A
Thank you. You meet my son in a couple of days near Citadel Rock, just west of the oil fields.
Speaker A
Okay. We are very grateful for your help, gentlemen. that appointment with the senator. We should head over there.
Speaker A
It's a waste of our time and his We must try everything. Come along. Hello, Mr. Miller. The counselor wants to apologize. He can see you now.
Speaker A
We've been waiting I don't know how long. Or next month if you'd like to reschedule.
Speaker A
Come. Perhaps the senator won't mind waiting. [snorts] Let's go, girl. What the hell is the problem?
Speaker A
What are you doing? What you waiting for? Yes. [music] You got here earlier than expected.
Speaker A
Thanks. You help me out. Hey there, girl. Yeah. Look who we found. [groaning and screaming] Yeah.
Speaker A
[music] Heat. You came? Of course I came. Said I would. There's a foreman. His name is Danbury.
Speaker A
Is the files in the office above the refinery room? It's that window with the blind drawn up.
Speaker A
I see it. If the files are as incriminating as we believe, Mr. Cornwall's men will destroy them if they know you're coming.
Speaker A
There's only one of me, son. I don't intend for them to know I'm coming. What will the files say? There'll be a report from Leland Oil Development Company.
Speaker A
And you got the money? Yes. Any ideas how I sneak into this place? You could crawl under the fence or hide in the wagon. They keep rolling in.
Speaker A
We'll go take a look. If there's a problem, call for me. I thought the whole point was that this had nothing to do with you.
Speaker A
Ideally, if you are quick, you could climb into the back of that wagon. Otherwise, you'll have to sneak past the guards.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [music] [music] That you Al. Hey Tom. Picking up. Yep. Supposed to meet the early train to Sanden.
Speaker A
Okay, better get a move on then. All right, I'm going to start loading up.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [groaning] [groaning] [groaning] You must be damn buried. [clears throat] Quiet yourself, friend. This won't take long.
Speaker A
Danberry. Yes. I need some papers, my friend. Nothing important. A file. I'm from head office.
Speaker A
You're not from head office. Does that seem important right now? No. I need a file by the Leland Oil Development Company. The one about the oil near Wiji.
Speaker A
I I Danberry man is a terrible thing to lose, especially over such a nice floor as this.
Speaker A
It's here. It's here. You're done good, Danberry. Real good. They'll give you a promotion for this.
Speaker A
Nope. Danbury. Danberry. Danberry, you okay? Tell the guard you're fine. Yes, it's just I'm working. All's fine.
Speaker A
Now, stay quiet or head office will send me back to get you. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hold it right there.
Speaker A
Weapons on the ground and hands in the air. Easy now, fellas. Now, we won't tell you again.
Speaker A
[groaning] [screaming] Here. Heat. Heat. [music] Heat. [music] Heat. [music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [music] [music] We're here.
Speaker A
Did you get the documents? [music] Yeah, but we need to get the hell out of here.
Speaker A
Follow me. [music] I don't see [music] anymore. We're almost clear. That explosion came just in time.
Speaker A
I was happy to watch some of that oil burn. So, you met Mr. Danberry?
Speaker A
Yes. Don't worry. He was very obliging. I thought you wasn't getting involved. Thought you were going to enter and leave silently. Thank you. You saved my life.
Speaker A
Thank you. I hope. Well, I don't know what I hope, but who knows? Maybe these will be of some use. Here's your money.
Speaker A
Thank you. Okay. Ah, there you are, dear boy. Yes, here I am. Well, we're going to need to get you smartened up a bit.
Speaker A
Why? Well, you can't play at the tables on a Lanahasi river boat looking like this.
Speaker A
Eh, not if you want to fit in so well that no one will realize you're there to rob the place now. Come on.
Speaker A
Are we still doing that? Of course. We're going to fix you up so fine no one will notice a thing.
Speaker A
Hello. Can I help you, gentlemen? Yes. My friend here is in need of a new suit. We are playing on the riverboat this evening.
Speaker A
Excellent. Well, you'll find all my inventory in the catalog here. Make this gentleman look like the duke he really is.
Speaker A
It was the English's fault his grandfather had to immigrate. A bitter and jealous people.
Speaker A
You can see the aristocrat in his profile. A very good choice, sir. Wow. From all the hidden breeding.
Speaker A
Come on, let's get you to the barber. Sure. Good luck tonight, gentlemen. H Strauss has scoped the whole thing out. It's quite ingenious, actually.
Speaker A
What is the action he has planned? Indeed, it's not much of an action at all. You play cards and win, and you're going to bet very big and flamboyantly while you win, and everyone's going to think you're some new money from the oil fields come
Speaker A
to lay it on thick and drunk. All the while, Hair Strauss will be signaling you in your line of sight. When you bust the place, they'll take you upstairs to pay you off. And that is when Javier comes in, and you take whatever you
Speaker A
want. You don't think they might see an armed Mexican coming into the safe with me.
Speaker A
Sure, they might, but perhaps not. You will see. The suspense is killing me. Oh, don't be so jaded. We both know this is just the kind of innocent fun you thrive on.
Speaker A
Well, well, after the past couple of months, armed robbery don't seem such an innocent pastime.
Speaker A
No, but we, you all of us will be done here soon. I hope so.
Speaker A
Come on, my good man. Could you smarten up my dear hick friend here? This unlikely fellow has made himself a fortune in the oil fields and lured himself not a lick of manners or gentlemanly deport.
Speaker A
Well, very good, sir. No, it's not good. Not good at all. Not that they're going to let him play big at the tables tonight.
Speaker A
There. Very smart. Come on, let's get to the docks. I've arranged some transportation for us.
Speaker A
Hope you have a successful evening, gentlemen. George, to the Grand Corgan, please. Grand Corgan, sir.
Speaker A
Well, look at you from Toad the Prince. This is a bit much, ain't it? The coach.
Speaker A
We can't Winnie up there on horses like a bunch of countryfied yals. You're a brash oil man. Money to burn.
Speaker A
Which reminds me, no shuffling and mumbling. Puff your chest out. Get outside yourself. Yeah. All right. All right. This ham.
Speaker A
So, who's a mark? You all right? about the way the driver. Oh yes, don't worry. George and I go way back. It's a man called Desmond Glide.
Speaker A
Made a fortune and possy of all things. [clears throat] Likes to play fast and always keep some extra collateral in the safe upstairs.
Speaker A
So if Strauss is sitting behind him, how does he know what cards I got? He won't.
Speaker A
But the dealer has recently become a very good friend of mine. Another one. Don't worry, Arthur. We're all the authors of own good fortune. He'll make sure you get the right gods.
Speaker A
What could possibly go wrong, Bindy? And what money am I playing with? Don't worry, that has all been arranged.
Speaker A
Your chips will be waiting. Ah, there she is. Come on. Okay, Arthur. Leave any weaponry here. They'll search us when we get on. George, we'll collect these from you later.
Speaker A
Very good, sir. Thank you, George. Good luck, sir. Now, remember what I said, Arthur.
Speaker A
Everyone is the author of his own good fortune. Yes. Yes. Believe me, I heard every word.
Speaker A
Watch, Strauss. Listen to the dealer. And this should be a very lucky night. There they are.
Speaker A
Gentlemen, how wonderful to see you, Arthur. You remember this pair of [clears throat] boys we met in New York?
Speaker A
Come on. Champagne is on dear old Arthur. He's rich as can be and feeling luckier than a turkey that survived Thanksgiving.
Speaker A
Hello gentlemen. Hello, dear boy. Come on. Come on. Let's head aboard. Drinks on Arthur. Champagne.
Speaker A
I'm afraid we require all patrons to hand over their guns. Good time. The tables await.
Speaker A
I'll go find myself a change of clothes. Okay. [sighs] You seem unsure. Robbing a heavily armed riverboat without a gun tends to bring out the self-doubt in me.
Speaker A
These people are virtually idiots. This is simple stuff. Now have a good time, but don't lose too much money or your wife is going to kill me.
Speaker A
Whatever you say. Now, where can I get a cocktail? Take a seat, sir. Good evening, gentlemen. Arthur Callahan. Sorry I'm late. I had some uh unfinished business at the bar.
Speaker A
Desmond Blind. Evening. Not to worry. Welcome to the game, Mr. Callahan. Okay, gentlemen. Let's play.
Speaker A
I hope you're a player. Didn't too many cowards at these tables recently. Nothing less dignified than a man afraid to lose a little money.
Speaker A
Look at this. Chips already stacked up waiting for me. I like this joint already.
Speaker A
We aim to please, sir. So, how are we all fairing? Some better than others.
Speaker A
If we all fared the same in life now, where would the fun be? Quiet.
Speaker A
Wait, not Desmond Bllythe, the Hosery King. I should have brought my other wallet. Not my preferred title, but yes, you should have.
Speaker A
[laughter] Now I'm out. Think I'll wait for this seat to warm up a bit.
Speaker A
I thought as much. Maybe you should have another drink, Mr. Callahan. Here we go then.
Speaker A
Hello, my ladies. Mr. Blide wins with three queens. [laughter] Goodbye, gentlemen. I guess it's just you and me now, friend. Yes, it is. Time to see if you're really the man you seem to think you are. Likewise, Mr. Blive.
Speaker A
So, what business are you in, Mr. Callahan? I'm an oil man for my sins.
Speaker A
Funny, I haven't heard of you. Oh, you will. You know, I thought about getting into hosery but I just look better in a suit.
Speaker A
I would stick to oil, Mr. Callahan. I don't think you have a future on the stage.
Speaker A
You sound just like my wife. Call. Okay, Mr. Callahan. I'm all in. Call. Interesting. They're cowg girls.
Speaker A
[ __ ] [ __ ] I guess my luck held. Is that you done?
Speaker A
Done. Bust. Or uh you got something else to play with. Meaning Well, I heard Well, I heard there were some big boys on this boat. Maybe that's not you. No offense. Sit your hillbilly ass down.
Speaker A
Why? I got a watch. Look at you. An expensive one. Real fine. Swiss. A rolinger, no less. It's in the safe upstairs. It's worth more than you.
Speaker A
Okay, I trust you. Now play as you wish. So you must know Leviticus Cornwall, big oil man like you. Of course, we've crossed paths. I was fortunate enough to tour a little operation heads up in New Haven.
Speaker A
[music] I am 100% allin, Mr. Callahan. Don't worry, sir. Everyone is the author of his own good fortune.
Speaker A
Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Paraches. Very good, but not good enough. [ __ ] Uh-oh.
Speaker A
Yes, you little beauty. Hard lines, Mr. Blind. Mr. Callahan wins with an ace high diamond flush.
Speaker A
God damn you. No offense. None. Thank you. Well played, sir. Unlucky, Desmond. Now, forgive my lack of discretion, but um where might I find this watch?
Speaker A
It's upstairs. Shall we go and have a look? Why not? Gentlemen, please cash these out for me.
Speaker A
I I started last week. Good. Sure. Perhaps you could escort us up to the office.
Speaker A
Yes, of course, sir. Thank you. Follow me, gentlemen. Come with me, sir. You're having quite the night.
Speaker A
Yeah, so far. I cannot believe someone gave a a job. We live in strange times.
Speaker A
Personally, I wouldn't trust one with a gun, but fear not. I've got my own little lawgiver right here. Very good.
Speaker A
Next, we'll be hiring. I know. I know. I think you're going to like this watch, sir. I saw it earlier and it really is a handsome piece. Foreign made, but you can't have everything.
Speaker A
Indeed. Well, here we are. Just give me one second, sir. Of course. Take your time.
Speaker A
Don't reach for that gun. Take his [snorts] gun, Arthur. I guess you were right. Only an idiot would give a a gun.
Speaker A
Idiot. Huh? [ __ ] Let's hope no one heard that. Quick, clear the safe. Let's get out of here. Can't believe that [ __ ] had another gun. The view in here is looking pretty good.
Speaker A
How much is there? Must be a few thousand plus to watch. Nice. Now, let's get out of here. Come on. Let's go meet the others.
Speaker A
Sure. I reckon we've only got a few minutes to get out of here if we're lucky.
Speaker A
Was that a gunshot? It sounded like one. Come on. And how exactly are we getting out of here?
Speaker A
I ain't too sure. This is what tends to happen when you leave Trrelone in charge of planning. Old garnish no meat.
Speaker A
Probably involve us dressing up as [music] dancing girls and can canning off the side. Nice uniform by the way.
Speaker A
Thanks. Give anyone a job these days. Anyway, we shouldn't give ourselves away till we know we need to. Maybe we could still blend into the crowd when it all goes crazy, which it surely will.
Speaker A
To the bar, Senor. I hope you had fun, sir. The time of my life. You boys sure know how to put on a show.
Speaker A
It's wonderful. Ah, look. There's your friend. My friend is not a no good cheat and I to take back the There he is.
Speaker A
Now don't be a sore loser, friend. Something I don't like about the par you.
Speaker A
There's plenty I don't like about you, but I have the good manners to keep my mouth shut.
Speaker A
There he is. Shoot that man. Come on, Roger. We got to get out of here.
Speaker A
[screaming] [music] Give it up. You're surrounded. Come on. Let's get the hell out of here.
Speaker A
Who was a guest? I don't know. This ain't my show. Silly me. I clean forgot to bring my gondola.
Speaker A
Bastard. What are you doing back there? Come on. Damn it. We got to go. Come on.
Speaker A
[music] [music] Well, never a dull moment. Yeah, that's one way of putting it. So, how much did we get?
Speaker A
A few thousand, I think. Pretty good. Yes, indeed. And this watch, apparently, it's worth a bunch of Swiss a Royer or something.
Speaker A
Nice watch. Yes, it's all right, Lingo. All right, we'll give it back then. All right, come on. Let's get out of here.
Speaker A
[music] [music] read all about it in the street yesterday. H I see. How you doing, Mrs. Edler?
Speaker A
How are you? Been quite a journey since uh well, since I joined you fellas.
Speaker A
Yes. And now you and Dutch have joined high society. Oh, Lord above. Yeah, it seems so.
Speaker A
I think my days in polite society are over. Well, I just saw Bill Williamson at a party at the San Denis's mayor's house.
Speaker A
If he [laughter] can do it, anyone can. If you get any leaks. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker A
You know. So, Arthur Morgan, come on. We need to talk. Miss Sadler, will you excuse us?
Speaker A
When are you going to let me come robbing with you, Dutch? My lord, few more like her, we could take over the whole world.
Speaker A
Few more like her, there wouldn't be much of a world left. Yes, perhaps. Now, the trolley bus station.
Speaker A
I went down there. I took a look at it. I think we can hit it. I ain't never robbed in a city before.
Speaker A
Well, you leave the plan to me. You'll ride with me. Always. Is it just you and me? No, we'll need one more, I reckon.
Speaker A
I say Lenny. Not Micah. Well, that depends if you want a massacre or a payday. Now, I wish that there was something I could do to make the two of you get along better.
Speaker A
Well, that's easy. Make them change. Very funny. What is that? What the hell have they done to me?
Speaker A
Look, they in the tree line. Everybody take copy of the boys are coming. [screaming] There are the children inside. Rescue.
Speaker A
Hold your ground. They need help getting down there. We need your gun down there. Arthur now.
Speaker A

Speaker A
Get those doors out quick. Good. Now, everyone, I got this. Get these windows covered quickly. John, you take the windows over there. Charles, you take the side doors there. Arthur, you take the windows in the back. Go.

Speaker A
We okay? I think so. Except for Karen here. Poor kid. Mr. Swanson, would you take this boy and bury him someplace near, but not too near?
Speaker A
Of course. Charles, help me with the body. We need to get this place cleaned up.
Speaker A
Mr. Pearson, Miss Grimshaw already taking care of it. Come on now. Work. Cole O'Driscoll. That man can really hate.
Speaker A
So can I, Arthur. So can I. We need to get moving away from here. So, we should start looking for another camp.
Speaker A
You ain't thinking big enough, Arthur. [clears throat] You ain't seeing the vastness of our problems and our opportunities.
Speaker A
I'm not sure I get you. You will, son. You will meet me near the trolley station. We got work, shall we?
Speaker A
Yep. He saved my life and I could not save his. Mrs. Adler fought braver than any of us.
Speaker A
She is driven by powerful forces I scarcely understand. That's what love has done to her, I guess.
Speaker A
Morning. Got inside. Who knows? And now they know where we're hold up. Maybe they're a pretty scattered bunch and we didn't leave no survivors. In any case, we'll be on our way soon.
Speaker A
You mean this boat you were talking about? How would you like to feel some sun on your bones and sand beneath your feet?
Speaker A
Sounds all right to me. There you are. Come on, keep walking. You're late. Couple of days in this place, you turned into some clock watching city boy. What's the urgency?
Speaker A
We need to leave forever. We've been doing well, making money. But for us all to leave together, we need enough for a boat. Now, I found a friendly ship captain. He's willing to take us to Australia or Tahiti, we just need to pay
Speaker A
for passage and give him money for land when we get there. No questions asked.
Speaker A
We will disappear, be reborn. Where the hell is Tahiti? South Pacific, an untouched paradise.
Speaker A
Who lives there? Tahadians, I guess. We made a bit of money on that riverboat job, but not enough for us to leave and live peacefully. Where's the rest coming from?
Speaker A
In there. So, we are going to rob that place. Well, I didn't think we was fixing the plumbing. I don't know if you have noticed, but we are on the clock. I reckon we got a few days before the
Speaker A
Pinkerton show, and then we're done. Now we need money. Bronte said this place has got money. Come on, ladies and gentlemen. This is a robbery.
Speaker A
Behave as I tell you and none of you will die. Annoy me and you all will. Now remember, we just want money. Don't make us kill you. Mr. M, give me your money valuables. Mr. S, check that room back
Speaker A
there. It's yours. I got this one dying. That's your choice, not mine. Kindly open that gate.
Speaker A
I'm going to need everything you got. Of course. Of course. Just take it. I said open the gates and let my acquaintance goddamn nothing really here.
Speaker A
You're sure? Yes. Then get out here and get ready for company. All of you behave. We don't want to hurt any of you.
Speaker A
Mr. M, check the safe. Sure. Open it. I don't think they keep much cash in there.
Speaker A
Open it. There's almost nothing here. There should be stacks of cash in there. He told us there was. Look again.
Speaker A
There's no stacks. A few dollars and coins. That's it. Damn. We got a problem. There's a ton of cops out there.
Speaker A
Come now. We got you surrounded. That greasy son of a [ __ ] He set us up. You think this seemed like a good time for sarcasm to you, Arthur?
Speaker A
What are we going to do, gentlemen? Something trolley. We're trying. Follow me gentlemen. Go now.
Speaker A
Go. Does this go to Tahiti? I hope so. [music] All right. Shoot us some space, boys. We got more on the right.
Speaker A
We got in those alleyways. Arthur is going to pay for this. Somebody kill that bastard. Come on this side.
Speaker A
Arthur, cover our left leg. Arthur, you need to help now. Look out the back in every cop in the ship.
Speaker A
Outside the saloon. Oh, damn. We are really moving here. Arthur, slow us down. Slow this thing down. I'll try.
Speaker A
The thing's broke. Hold on. [screaming] Dutch. [groaning] He's [ __ ] Watch out. Got someone above me here.
Speaker A
Damn it. They're still coming. We're going to get out of here. Okay. Okay. Let's move. Come on. They are going to get in now.
Speaker A
[music] This way, come on. Let's go here. Let's go. You all right, D? I won't lie. I've been better, son. Lenny, you keep it Lenny, keep an eye out.
Speaker A
Of course. This way onto the street. Holy [ __ ] Look. We got to move down. Mercy just jump.
Speaker A
Now this. We need to wake up. We'll wake up after we get the hell out of here.
Speaker A
[screaming] [music] [screaming] You're right. [music] [music] [screaming] [ __ ] Let's go, D. [music] What's up?
Speaker A
How you doing there, B? I'm okay. Not my chance. Let's go. Don't damage that wagon. We need a way out of here.
Speaker A
[music] [music] Head for that wagon. You okay? Your pain on the head back there. I see everything.
Speaker A
[music] You stay down. I'll hold them off. Coming from behind you. Get rid of them.
Speaker A
Looks like they ain't giving up yet. You're a dead man. Watch. You want me to drive up?
Speaker A
on the right. on the left. [music] [music] Oh, we got more on the right.
Speaker A
I don't know who [screaming] you're just head straight for the bridge. [music] [music] He's down. They block the hole.
Speaker A
Hold on. Use this. See if you got the load on us. Aha, that'll do it. Yep, we're through.
Speaker A
You see any more? Just keep going, kid. You okay back there? Don't worry about me. Just get us out of here.
Speaker A
Yeah. I think we're clear. You know what, Dutch? Next time, let's not damn discretion.
Speaker A
Seemed like a good lead. I know, but Well, we made it thanks to you.
Speaker A
[clears throat] Don't mention it. Yeah, you're a good kid. And we each got $15.
Speaker A
Oh, and a quarter. Don't forget the quarter. Shut up, Arthur. He set us up.
Speaker A
Played me like a yoke. Put the law on us. What do we do to him?
Speaker A
What did I do to him? I guess he thinks he's the king around here.
Speaker A
He don't want the likes of you. So, what are we doing next, Dutch? We just need money. One more decent take and we're gone. The bank is our bet.
Speaker A
Hosea agrees. Even after that, especially after that, I don't feel so good. Now you just got a bash on the head.
Speaker A
Come on, I'm taking you back to camp. Hey, you did real good there, Lenny.
Speaker A
Just wish it could have turned out better. Well, can't win them all. Arthur, come up here.
Speaker A
I even get known. stole a necklace last week for a lady's house and the mansion white sand.
Speaker A
So Arthur, you get the deciding vote by what? We take an insult and scurry off like cockroaches or deal with business the right way.
Speaker A
We don't need to take revenge. We hardly know the guy. This ain't about revenge, Hosea. Angelo Bronte don't mean [ __ ] to me. This is about the fact we are planning to rob a bank in his town. A bank that he no
Speaker A
doubt protects. A town where his men are gunning for us. Before we do that, we need to put him out of commission.
Speaker A
Disagree. There's always an easier way. There ain't no easier way. Now I know his type. He is a vindictive little power broker who rules by fear. Now we pull that stunt in his cis pit of a town. We're doomed.
Speaker A
You want to leave this place? leave this country. We need that money. It just don't feel good. Dutch, this is it. This is the last job that we are ever going to pull before the year is out. We are going to be harvesting
Speaker A
mangoes in Tahiti farmers. But we need seed capital and we need to leave. You know it. I know it.
Speaker A
Forgive me if I can't think too much about the mango harvest. [ __ ] Trust me.
Speaker A
Arthur, if it's business, well, business is business. Angelo Bronte stands between us and our future.
Speaker A
You'll damn us all. Arthur, come on. You better be right about this one. I am.
Speaker A
I've heard that before, and usually I've been right. If you say so. Quit doubting, Arthur. It does no favors.
Speaker A
Come on. We need to go see a man about a boat. A boat? We're headed to a settlement called Lra.
Speaker A
I met a boatman there called Thomas who knows these waters like the back of his hand. Why do we need a boat? So we can attack Bronte's mansion from the swamp.
Speaker A
Catch him off guard. He knows we survived the trolley station, so he'll be expecting some kind of reprisal.
Speaker A
All right. Okay, makes sense. See, I do still possess some capacity for rational thought, Arthur.
Speaker A
Okay, follow me. Thank you for what? For taking my side back there. It ain't about sides. Feels like Hosea's lost his spine.
Speaker A
This move on Bronte, is it for the bank job or revenge for what happened at the trolley station?
Speaker A
Both. Neither. What does it matter? We need to hit that bank. And Bronte has the police and just about everything else in Sandin in his back pocket. He also set us up.
Speaker A
And lest we forget, took young Jack. I understand. We just got a lot of pots on the boil given all the folks who's out gunning for us. You all seem to have forgotten how money is made and what it
Speaker A
takes to support 20 people, let alone what it takes to give 20 people a new life overseas.
Speaker A
With all due respect, Dutch, is this Tahiti plan really going to work out? You tell me, Arthur, is it? Have some godamn faith. I am bending over backwards to make a future for us.
Speaker A
I know. But but but but when did you become so smallminded? If you'd rather we break up the family, go our separate ways, just tell me. Of course not. This isn't a prison camp. I am not forcing anybody to stay. So
Speaker A
either we're in this together, working together to get out together, or we're not. There simply isn't a reality in which we do nothing and get everything.
Speaker A
I know. You're right. Just feels like we're on borrowed time again. I mean, the old Driscolls found us.
Speaker A
Yeah, we need to move and soon. Haven't I made that clear? I feel like I'm going in circles with all of you. Micah is the only one left with any loyalty. [music] Now that ain't fair. You are talking
Speaker A
like John. I swear that woman is poisoning him against me. I've seen it before. What's the problem here? There ain't a problem. You think Micah would question going after Bronte? No. He'd say, "Let's go." I'm here, ain't I? I've
Speaker A
been at your side for 20 years. I know. I'm sorry, son. It's just the endless debate about everything is wearing me down. The others I can take. But when you're not behind me, it hurts. I'm behind you.
Speaker A
Blackwater, Valentine, Rose, Shawn, Kieran. I promise none of it will be in vain. Anyway, here we are. Let me do the talking.
Speaker A
Thomas, it is good to see you, my friend. Hello, Mr. Dutch. Thomas, have you met Arthur? Arthur?
Speaker A
Thomas is quite the boatman. He's going to help us get close to our prey.
Speaker A
The other night, we had quite the adventure fishing for catfish. Now, my friend, can I call in that favor?
Speaker A
What do you need? You know, Angelo Bronte. Well exactly. We need to make a social call. We were hoping you could row us in quietly one evening around the back of his house.
Speaker A
Well, if anyone can, I can. We'll pay you for your trouble. If you bringing him trouble, it won't be no trouble for me.
Speaker A
Good. My business partner, Jules, he's out on the skiff. I need to check with him. Plus, I need to check the traps.
Speaker A
Would you come with me? Of course. Arthur. Why not? Shouldn't take too long if we can find him.
Speaker A
He live. Mind you, there's a lot of gators. Uncoming number. Big ones. Great. Come now, [clears throat] Arthur. It'll take more than a prehistoric reptile to scare you. Shirley, I just want to see you meet your match when it comes to a an aging predator
Speaker A
with a big mouth. Dutch Arthur here is something of a comedian, Thomas. More of a jester than a gunslinger.
Speaker A
Well, if you say so, Mr. Dutch, this way. Come on. This way. Follow me here and stay on the higher ground.
Speaker A
You call this ground? It feels like water to me. Down here, we can't be too picky there, Mr. Arthur.
Speaker A
Got a couple of crayfish traps up ahead. Mr. Dutch, you keep a lookout for company. Mr. Arthur, check the traps with me.
Speaker A
This one's empty. All right, I got a few more set this way. Come on.
Speaker A
I don't want to know what just touched my leg. Mr. Dutch, you sure you're the right fellas to be going after Angelo Bruntton?
Speaker A
Oh, he's much more the kind of reptile I can handle. Now, stay close. Make sure you follow my line.
Speaker A
Oh, I fully intend to, Thomas. You too, Mr. Arthur. You can see why evening swamp waiting hasn't caught on as a pastime, can you?
Speaker A
I love it out here. Peaceful. Nobody bothering you none. Except for the night folk sometimes.
Speaker A
The night folk? Yep. Some strange people around these parts. Wilder than the animals. They are. Well, this just gets better and better.
Speaker A
Sooner we get this done, sooner I can help you boys. Whoa. Stop where you are. That's a gator. Just stay as still as you can.
Speaker A
[snorts] All right, let's keep moving. I got another trap by that small island up ahead. I don't know what's taking Jules so long with that boat.
Speaker A
I think we are all equally keen to find him. handy, Mr. Arthur. This trap is stuck in the mud. It happens.
Speaker A
Guess something didn't want to be caught. My gosh. So, it's true. What is? There's been talk of a big old bull, but people talk a lot of nonsense.
Speaker A
I guess this was [sighs] No, but only some huge could do this. Fantastic. Let's hope it bite you first, Dutch.
Speaker A
Should we just keep moving? I don't really want to hang around here much longer.
Speaker A
All right, I suppose this will wait. Let's go. Hold up. My god, there's no shortage of them.
Speaker A
Good eating. Us or them? Exactly. Come on. We really should have run into jewels by now. I reckon we should split up so we can search both sides.
Speaker A
Okay, Arthur, since you appear so at home here, you take the right. We'll go left. What?
Speaker A
Just keep your eyes open. Hello. Use Hey, someone there. Hello. Hey, someone there. Hello.
Speaker A
Up here. That must be him. Hey, you in the tree? What are you doing?
Speaker A
There's a monster. A monster? You okay up there? There's a monster. Where? Master. It nearly ate me.
Speaker A
And where'd he go? It's It's out there. What? A big gator. Biggest I ever saw. Big and nasty. Knocked me off the boat and chased me over here.
Speaker A
You must be Jewels. Yes. Where is the boat? over there. I ran. I Okay. Yeah. And uh where'd this monster swim off to?
Speaker A
I think that thing I got the scare. It's over here. It's stuck. I don't know.
Speaker A
I got it. Loose. Jump. Good man. All right, let's get back to the dock.
Speaker A
Yes, please. Let's go. Thank God. So, uh, who are these fellas? Thomas, two new friends of mine. I'll explain later.
Speaker A
Jules, we are very happy to have finally made your acquaintance. I thought I was going to be out here all night.
Speaker A
What was you doing hiding up in the tree boy? This gator was huge, Thomas. Twice as big as I ever seen. Twice as angry, too.
Speaker A
Well, boy, I think we hit a tree stump. Yeah, I thought we cleared. You going to need to jump in and pull us free.
Speaker A
Me? Yeah, just do it. Going to take you a minute, boy. Go on. This is a bad idea.
Speaker A
We'll see any giant monster long before it gets anywhere near you. Got a couple of crack gunslingers here with the guns loaded. You'll be fine.
Speaker A
You didn't see the thing. Yeah, neither did you. It's just a myth, Jules. Now pull.
Speaker A
Pull, boy. [ __ ] He won't. No, I'm going in. No, no, we can't lose the boat. Arthur, go.
Speaker A
Well, quick. Go on, Arthur. Pick up my leg. [music] [music] [ __ ] Where'd he go?
Speaker A
He must be close, Arthur. Come on. Come on. I'm coming. Help! Help me! I got you, sir.
Speaker A
I got you. Oh, God. No. Hurry up. Fire off a couple of warning shots just to pretend you care.
Speaker A
I got you covered. Please hurry. Stop. Oh god. Oh god. Please. Hanging it. Quick as you can. Come on. Hurry. Hurry.
Speaker A
Give me the boy. Put him here. Come on. Give him here. It's on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Quickly.
Speaker A
Quickly. [groaning and screaming] Prepare. He should be okay. Finish that son of a [ __ ] You'll be all right.
Speaker A
Shoot that thing. He's coming right for I think he's gone. [ __ ] That is one big old gate. Oh, your boy doesn't look too good there.
Speaker A
Here, take this. Try to stop the bleeding. You're going to be okay, son. You're going to be okay.
Speaker A
Just thank your old uncle Dutch. I heard that. There's still a lot of blood. You need to put pressure on it.
Speaker A
I've stopped the bleeding. I think he'll be okay. If he don't get a fever, we can bring down a fever.
Speaker A
A fever is the least of our worries. Look who's back. God damn it. Pulling every bullet you got in here.
Speaker A
Get ahead of us. You see him? Shoot. [ __ ] Don't let him get any closer.
Speaker A
Okay, I think it's had enough. Now, Jesus, can we get back now? You're going to be okay, kid.
Speaker A
Sorry, Jules. Guess all them stories was true. Big and bad. That's unusual ones. Normally, the little ones are angry. Big ones is lazy.
Speaker A
Well, I guess he never outgrew his anger. Kind of reminds me of you, Arth.
Speaker A
You know, I don't think I've ever seen you squeal before, Dutch. I weren't the one squealing.
Speaker A
Yeah, well, you weren't in the water with him. And this poor boy was nearly dinner.
Speaker A
Can we get some help? Jules's been bitten. Oh my god. There's a monster out here.
Speaker A
He's been bitten, but he's alive. Just keep him warm. Feed him garlic for the infection.
Speaker A
Thank you, both of you. I'm at your service anytime you need me. Thank you, Thomas. Where can we find you?
Speaker A
You just meet me back here. Very good. Can one of you help me put the boat back out?
Speaker A
Sure. I'm going to head back to camp and plate the irritable Miss O'Shea who's causing more trouble. I'll collect the boys. Meet you back here. Arthur.
Speaker A
Mr. Arthur. Old Brunty. Bad man. I know. Kill some good folks. He hurt a lot of people.
Speaker A
Well, he definitely lacks a certain charm. I'll see you soon. Be safe. We got monsters out here.
Speaker A
Well, okay, girl. Been a while. So, Dutch, what's Tahiti like anyhow? I have no idea, but I hear it's paradise.
Speaker A
[laughter] That's what they said about the West. And look how that turned out. It's men like Mr. Bronte, like Mr.
Speaker A
Cornwall that ruined the West. They ruin everything. So there's no folk like that in Tahiti.
Speaker A
There's folks like that everywhere. But in Tahiti, to my understanding, folks feed them to sharks rather than make them [music] kings.
Speaker A
[laughter] That would be paradise. Exactly. Arthur, there you are. Come on, Thomas. Let's get going.
Speaker A
Right you are. [laughter] Hey, Bill. You were a sharpshooter in the cavalry, weren't you?
Speaker A
What? When we get there, maybe you could help with the suppression fire. I never said I was no sharpshooter.
Speaker A
Oh, that's right. What was it? The nation's most loyal latrine digger. Wasn't that it?
Speaker A
Yeah. Well, I fought and I fought well. So, you always tell us. You taught me something you could do with learning. Them Indians were savages. Watch them out there, boy.
Speaker A
Watch it. Only type of savage in these parts are moonshine, swilling, pompous, imbred locals.
Speaker A
Dutch, I saw things out there. I don't doubt you saw things, Bill. But your tiny little mind was too small to comprehend what you saw. What you saw was people who lost everything to savagery. Savagery of peasants. Failures
Speaker A
come from Europe to reap some awful vengeance on God's last creation. Interesting way you boys got to prepare for a killing.
Speaker A
I'm sorry I wasted my life trying to teach you boys. Love you though I do.
Speaker A
Well, leaving love aside. You think we got this? Don't you never leave love aside, Arthur. It's all we got.
Speaker A
Hey, you pick us up yonder. I got you. Thank you. Good luck to you.
Speaker A
Come on, quick. [music] Stay quiet. [groaning] Lenny, Bill, you're with me. Arthur, John, you take the left side. If you see a shot, you take it. Okay. Good luck, gentlemen. Arthur, let's go.
Speaker A
Let's go. Find some cover. Two up ahead. [music] What's up? Heat. Heat. you. This is not over yet. Head to the house.
Speaker A
Shoot that lock, Arthur. Now kick that damn door out. Look out. You're done. [screaming and groaning] [screaming] My cowboy [ __ ] [music] This ends tonight.
Speaker A
All right, we got one on the stairs. Have a look upstairs. Lenny, keep that door coming. Let's check upstairs. He's not down here.
Speaker A
Damn it. There you had. [music] Hey, [music] cat. Okay. Okay. I'm sorry, [music] friend.
Speaker A
No. Name your price. Name your price. Every man have a price. Eh. Okay. Okay.
Speaker A
No. I surrender. I surrender. Should we kill him? Nah. Let's take him to Dutch.
Speaker A
You can carry him. I ain't touching that piece of [ __ ] I think Dutch wants to have a little chat. Mr. Ro, let's go. Come on. Put your guns down, you goddamn idiot.
Speaker A
Come on, Jason. We're getting the hell out of here. This is it. You got to get out of here.
Speaker A
Call yourself police goddamn puppet. [screaming] Everyone okay? We need Come on. Where's the order?
Speaker A
if you ain't a bunch of goddamn Come [music] on. Get in the boat. Question. Get on your [music] friend on that boat before any more show up.
Speaker A
Put him in the front. Bill, help. I can get him. Oh, come on, Lenny.
Speaker A
All right. Come on. Let's get out of here. Yep. Oh, hey big man. We going to ransom you or what?
Speaker A
You're pacity. Well, I am cuz from where I'm sitting, you're the one deserving a pity, my friend. All your men, all your money, it weren't no match for a bunch of bumpkins. You are nothing.
Speaker A
You do nothing. Me nothing. You stand for nothing. Me, [music] I run a city.
Speaker A
And when the law catch up to you, you will die like nothing. I am this country. You You You are what people are running from.
Speaker A
I possess things that you will never understand. Look, you don't even possess your own men.
Speaker A
$1,000 to the man who kills him and sets me free. What are you going to say now? They are even bigger fools than you.
Speaker A
No doubt. The law will find you already. The dogs are on the way. Oh, yeah. Oh, you're right. You are so right. They are good at smelling filth.
Speaker A
Huh? So, filth has got to be disposed going to come and rescue you. You repulsive little maggot.
Speaker A
A [ __ ] Call them now. You call them. [groaning] Jesus. Part of your philosophy books cover feeding the fellow the goddamn alligator Dutch. The part that covers weakness.
Speaker A
That part. I don't know. Well, I do. It ain't nice. I know it. But it is us or him.
Speaker A
I figure it might as well be him. [ __ ] heavy. I'm telling you, Dutch, this is the way to do this job. The distraction will buy you all the time you need.
Speaker A
I don't like it. It's the right plan. We've done the work. I've been in town looking, watching, and and waiting. I've I've tested it as well as I can. It's the right plan.
Speaker A
I know. I just Well, between you and me, I'm nervous. I suppose. I suppose that's it.
Speaker A
You're never nervous. That's been my job all these years. I know. You're sure? Certain?
Speaker A
Well, not certain it will be done, but certain it can be done. And certain this is the only way I see we can do it. I've timed it out more than once.
Speaker A
Well, you're the expert, Jim. Look, the bank, Karen, Tilly, Abigail, I sent them all. They all say the same thing. There's no more than one armed guard. And the police, it's a city. There are police. But as far as we can tell, the patrols will all
Speaker A
be going this way. When Abigail and I cause the diversion, that's the opportunity. What do you think, Arthur?
Speaker A
I don't see we have a lot of choice. We linger around here. We know we're dead.
Speaker A
But the plan, we got a decent bunch. We know how to fight. The city cops don't seem so tough. As long as we move fast, I reckon doing it in the day with a distraction.
Speaker A
That's what Jose is saying. It's as good a plan as any. I I think I agree.
Speaker A
We do it at night. There's the drram of just getting into the bank. Can't do that silently. They'll pick us off far easier.
Speaker A
I know. I'm I'm just making sure. Every plan is a good plan if we execute it properly. Every problem we had was because we did not execute properly.
Speaker A
Even Blackwater from my understanding. You're right. Let's rob this bastard. Everyone get some rest. We ride out in the morning.
Speaker A
Look smart. Travel light. You got everything, Arthur? Sure. So, we rob ourselves a bank and within six weeks, we're living life a new in a tropical idol, spending the last of our days as banana farmers.
Speaker A
Let's get out of this godforsaken place and go rob ourselves a bank. [screaming] Let's go. Let's go that whip, Mr.
Speaker A
Matthews. This is it, gentlemen. The last one. Where have we heard that before? What has happened to you, John? You lost all your heart.
Speaker A
I'm just trying to stay real about all this. Real? Oh, how I detest that word so devoid of imagination.
Speaker A
How soon are we shipping out? Soon as we get a passage organized, boat down to Argentina and another around the Cape.
Speaker A
What about the money in Blackwater? We're just going to leave that behind. Forget that. It's gone. You all talk like it's the only goddamn money in the world. We're going to take that and more. Take it from the people who take
Speaker A
it from us. This isn't some big town $100 operation. This is a big city bank, right? With security, guards, police.
Speaker A
Hosea has done his reconnaissance. We've been over this. The plan one last time. Hosea and Abigail draw out the police.
Speaker A
We go in calm and fast. John and Lenny secure the front doors. Javier takes the side exit. Bill, Micah, and Charles control the crowd. Me and Arthur deal with the bank manager and vault. Got it. Got it. Y.
Speaker A
Good. All right, that's enough talk. Gentlemen, let us go ahead. How long do you need?
Speaker A
Not long. 15 minutes or less. You'll know by the noise. Any problems? We'll see you in camp.
Speaker A
Good luck, gentlemen. Right on. Yeah. Everybody know the drill. We head in hard. Stay calm. They won't be expecting us. Any minor trouble, head back to camp. We'll leave in a few days. You good, Bill?
Speaker A
Sure. Then ride on with Charles. We don't want to be seen heading in like some posi of country outlaws.
Speaker A
This is it, cowboys. One more time. Now, one more time. That's right. [screaming and groaning] In front of you. Uh-huh.
Speaker A
Calmly [music] does it, fellas. Act normal. There's Bill. Let's hitch up here. Gentlemen, robbing thieves, it ain't no crime at all. Folk like this, they stole what this country could have been.
Speaker A
Stay cool, fellas. Act natural. Wait for Hosea to do his thing. This This better work. Looks like there's law over the other side. Have a modum of faith, John, will you please?
Speaker A
Soon as we get out, load everything onto the wagon here. I love that Josea. He is a true artist.
Speaker A
[snorts] [music] Gentlemen, let's go. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a hold up. Don't do nothing stupid.
Speaker A
[laughter] think you are. Open the vault. Okay. Now then, Arthur, would you please have senior bank manager here open up the vault?
Speaker A
[music] Open the vault. Come on. [music] Let's make this quick. Come on. Forget all.
Speaker A
Need the combination for these open. Tell them the [bell] combination. Got it. Okay. Now, what's the [music] second number?
Speaker A

Speaker A
Yep. Okay, I'm in. Would you look at that? Holy [ __ ] They weren't joking.
Speaker A
Get out of here. Got trouble. Looks like we lost. Come on. [ __ ] Let's go.
Speaker A
Okay. Think we got a problem out here. Come out. [screaming] It's over. [ __ ] Abigail.
Speaker A
Dutch, get out here. Get out here now. Someone must have squealled. Never should have gone after Bronte.
Speaker A
Dutch. Mr. Milton, let [clears throat] my friends go or folks they are going to get shot.
Speaker A
unnecessarily your friend. Why would I do that? Come on, Milton. It's over. No more bargains, no more deals.
Speaker A
Mr. Milton, this is America. You can always cut a deal. I've given you enough chances. Come on.
Speaker A
Don't stop. No. God [screaming] damn it. There's your deal, Dutch. Jose. [panting] God damn it. [screaming] Kill.
Speaker A
There we go. Hold them back. I got an idea. What? Just keep shooting. You really need a fight here, J. I'm working on it.
Speaker A
Just [ __ ] There's too many of them. You're alive. [screaming] Get over here.
Speaker A
Arthur, come on. There's no way that we're getting out that door. Take this. The wall hole through that wall is not what I want to [screaming] hear right now.
Speaker A
How the hell did they know? There's got to be really want to talk about this now.
Speaker A
We're getting killed here. Come on. We can't hold them much longer. And get up to the roof and their fire will follow you up there.
Speaker A
these bad. Get up there. I'll cover the rear. We'll get them out of here. And we will run. You're going to move. Move now.
Speaker A
Let's go. Come on. Where is everybody? What's going on down there? We lost control of the bank. The others are trying to hold him off.
Speaker A
Okay. [music] They got to get out. Arthur, we lost John. Killed, arrested. I couldn't help. Well, we better go. We'll be next.
Speaker A
What you think? I reckon me and Lenny try and find a way across the group. See if you'll cover us.
Speaker A
Sure. Sure. Go on. We can get across here. [screaming and groaning] You got any?
Speaker A
Oh, god damn them. We can't stop now, Arthur. We're all dead. Where' they go?
Speaker A
You're a dead man. [music] We're going to have to jump. Go. Here he goes.
Speaker A
[music] All of you. We got to keep quiet and keep moving or we're going to be dead in the next few minutes. Follow me one at a time. Arthur, you go next.
Speaker A
Got to keep moving. Quick and quiet. Come on. All civilians must leave now. Careful. There's more law down there.
Speaker A
Find these men. All of you. Find these men. You, you seen anything? No, not yet.
Speaker A
[ __ ] Looks like they're heavily patrolling around here. Arthur, Arthur, we can get in here.
Speaker A
Come on. I don't believe it. They knew we were coming. Just like your ferry job in Blackwater.
Speaker A
Ain't nothing like that. What now? I don't know. I don't. This whole town is filled with cops.
Speaker A
Well, how long are we going to stay here? Well, a few hours. We go back to camp. They're going to get every last one of us. I know they're going to be watching the roads.
Speaker A
I got it. A boat. What you mean? We stay here till nightfall. Then we snake on down to the docks. We get ourselves out of here.
Speaker A
Yeah. Where? Any place will do. That's all I got. We leave. We lie low.
Speaker A
We come back for the rest in a few weeks. [sighs] I'm guessing it's that or we die out there right now.
Speaker A
Exactly. Now, everybody calm down. I mean, look at us. [music] Okay, follow me and keep your heads down.
Speaker A
to the boats. Come on. Guards up ahead. What now? Just wait a second. God damn it. This night just keeps getting better, doesn't it?
Speaker A
Everyone stay down and keep quiet. Looks like they've stopped. We'll go through the train. Arthur, come on.
Speaker A
That's you. Follow when it's clear. [music] Someone's coming. Guard to the left. Stay low.
Speaker A
Someone's coming. Duck, quick, hide behind the chair. I hear someone coming. I don't see why we have to check the train. They just robbed Le Moine National Bank. It's not like they're going to take the first line out of
Speaker A
town. What Milton said? Milton said a lot. Come on. I won't be out here all night.
Speaker A
Okay then. [ __ ] Stop, Arthur. Oh, damn it. We're never going to get past these fellas.
Speaker A
Arthur, head over to the water. See if you can draw them out. Draw them out? How? I don't know. Make a noise. Whistle or something.
Speaker A
Huh? What was that? Quick, get in cover and stay out of sight. We've wasted enough time on these fools.
Speaker A
Spencer said, "See, they'll sure. What you think? I don't know. They're watching for us.
Speaker A
Maybe, maybe not. Well, they ain't just waiting there for no reason. Yeah, let me think for a second. [music] I'll deal with them.
Speaker A
How? I can't kill all of them silently. So, when they chase me, you go the other way.
Speaker A
What are you talking about? You heard what I said. Oh, I like it. Real brave.
Speaker A
What in the hell? Who is Excuse me, buddy. Hey, stop. Stop. Stop. That is one of the most beautiful acts I ever saw. Come on.
Speaker A
What now? Well, at least we got some gold. I'm sure this boat ain't going to Tahiti by any chance.
Speaker A
I don't know, John. Lenny, Jose, that wasn't good. I know. So, what are we going to do now?
Speaker A
Guess I'm going to [music] introduce myself to the captain, give him some of this gold to secure his silence, and find out where we're heading. How do I look?
Speaker A
Like a shifty no good killer on the run from the law. Ain't that the truth?
Speaker A
Excuse me, sir. Hey, quiet. Forgive me. A stowway. Can I see the captain, please? I come in peace.
Speaker A
[sighs] Well, it's going to take a little more gold, but I think we're going to be okay. This captain, he is a a fine fella, a New Englander from the Cape.
Speaker A
The rest of the ship is Frenchman. They're heading down to the islands, taking some Pennsylvania [music] coal. Now, apparently, we're going to be able to slip ashore in northern Cuba in a couple of days. That's so apparently.
Speaker A
[music] What are we going to do in Cuba, Dutch? Hold up for a while, then hurry [music] back. gather up the rest of our families. At least we got some money now. Money and loyalty. With that, you can do whatever you please.
Speaker A
So, you reckon they'll follow us to Cuba? Like Colonel Waxman on a jolly? I highly doubt it. I reckon we hold ourselves to ourselves and this is done and dusted.
Speaker A
Let's hope so. I ain't no sailor, but uh [clears throat and cough] that cloud look like good news to you.
Speaker A
[snorts] [music] Wake up everybody. Wake up. Wake up. Come on. Arthur, wake up. Wake up. Wake up. I don't know, but we are getting off of this boat. You come on.
Speaker A
We should get a move on, you sleepy bastard. I'll be right behind you. [screaming] [music] hurts.
Speaker A
Damn. [screaming] I'm okay. You go. This ain't moving. No. Yeah. You go on ahead. Trying to find another way. Oh, god damn it.
Speaker A
Partner fire. [music] Heat. [music] Heat. [music] [music] [music] Where the hell am I? [music] Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
1 2 3 4 Heat up here. Heat. Heat. [music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. What?
Speaker A
Boys, you're alive, are you? Oh, boy. That's it. You're You're alive. [laughter] Are there okay?
Speaker A
It is a miracle. It is a goddamn miracle. Here, have something to drink. Have a drink. Somebody give him a goddamn drink.
Speaker A
Oh, son. Son, take it easy. We got you. We got you. So, where the hell are we?
Speaker A
We are on the island of Guarmmo. Javier asked the local. It's a old sugar plantation island. Second island east of Cuba. Is it anywhere near Australia or Tahiti?
Speaker A
It's on the way, I guess. So, what next? I don't know. Well, next I guess we're going to get shot.
Speaker A
Gentlemen, this is quite a welcome. Who are you? Seenor Horore. We are no one. What's your name?
Speaker A
Aiden Ali. Is that so? What are you doing, Mr. Omali? Surviving. We were lost at sea in the storm.
Speaker A
Is that so? No. I'm in the habit of looking like this. Is all of this really necessary?
Speaker A
We got enough troubles around here right now, Mr. Ali, without taking a chance on a bunch of vagabons. Behave yourselves and no harm will befall you.
Speaker A
Let's go. We got another group rounded up down the way. I don't get your drift, Mr. Uh Levi Simon, senior overseer for Alberto Fusar. We run the third most productive sugar plantation in the northern Caribbean. Of course, where there's
Speaker A
money to be made, there's trouble. What sort of trouble? No, the usual sort. People wanting what ain't theirs and others telling them to take it.
Speaker A
I don't get you. Labor troubles and other thieves and pirates looking to disrupt our ways of working.
Speaker A
How very upsetting for you. Not half as upsetting as it'll be for them. Mr. Fousar has a lot of very powerful friends.
Speaker A
I will bet that he does. Bunch of Haitian pirates won't frighten him. They'll be strung up in the streets soon enough.
Speaker A
And do we seem like Haitian pirates to you, Mr. Simon? You seem like someone or other.
Speaker A
We was headed the Tahiti. He was going the scenic route. Just as soon as I know exactly who you are, you'll be free. In the meantime, you'll not starve.
Speaker A
Welcome to Guama, gentlemen. Now, if you'll excuse me. Yeah. What now, Aiden? I don't know. What do you think?
Speaker A
I think we've got to get out of here. Yeah, but they can't find out who we are.
Speaker A
Well, for now, we're stuck, Ben. Well, for what it's worth, I think I would have preferred Tahiti. You and me both.
Speaker A
[music] Who are these people? Who knows? Well, they got them chained and lashed, but they don't look too dangerous.
Speaker A
Excuse me, sir. Who are our new friends here? Criminalis. What crime did they commit?
Speaker A
Insurrection. Insurrection. That's quite a word. Where is it? Hey, Yeah. I don't think they're shooting us.
Speaker A
Come on. Crank it, Bill. Damn it. Good work, Arthur. Everyone okay? Yeah. Damn. Reinforcements.
Speaker A
We need to get out of here. Now we're in trouble. Come on. Come on. See, everyone follow me. See, come here. Oh, get out of here. Get out of here. There's a lot of them.
Speaker A
What do you think? We got to move, Dutch. Go. Don't lose base, son. We'll find you.
Speaker A
Ky, go. Go. [music] Come on, Arthur. Quickly, I have some porn stere. Hey. Oh [ __ ] You're with me. Let's get up there.
Speaker A
Come on, boys. That's all we got here. This is a hell of a welcome.
Speaker A
Come on, follow me quick. What are you doing here? I have no idea. Running from somebody or something, I guess.
Speaker A
How we all He fontelen Dutch Vanderland. These drowned rats are Micah, Bill, and Arthur.
Speaker A
Okay. Well, Fousea will be desperate to find you. We must be very careful. So, who is this Foo?
Speaker A
A tyrant driven by nothing but power and greed. Our only purpose is to work ourselves to death to make him rich.
Speaker A
Leon wants the people to stand up to Fussa, but most are too afraid. And you?
Speaker A
I am not from here. I bring things in and off the islands behind Colonel Fousea's back.
Speaker A
Let's uh let's rest a moment. Down there is Ecuador Fousea's compound. The sugarcane these poor men killed themselves farming gets processed in that factory there.
Speaker A
They're little more than slaves shipped in from other islands. A group escaped yesterday into the jungle hoping to find a way back to their homes.
Speaker A
Now Fussa's men are out hunting them down. That old fort, Cinco Torres. My men and I used that as a hideout when we are here.
Speaker A
Come on. I know somewhere you men can rest. Can we trust you? I don't see you have any choice. I am the only one who can arrange a boat for you.
Speaker A
But I need something in return. Help Leon with that group of escape workers and then come meet me at the fort. If you help us get back our friend and get out of here, we will do everything we
Speaker A
can. Thank you. Gracia. If your friend is still alive, they will have him at Fousea's compound.
Speaker A
There is a cave hidden below the cliffs. He will lead you right there. Thank you. The workers are somewhere in the jungle. Hopefully, we can get to them before Fousead does.
Speaker A
Of course, gentlemen. Well, goodbye. If this is a tropical paradise, so far it ain't up to much.
Speaker A
I'll go scope the entrance to that cave. Arthur, I need to get some rest.
Speaker A
Well, you're right. We all need to relax. What a mess. I am so sorry, boys.
Speaker A
Get some sleep. Dutch Mah, guard this spot. Bill, do some more scouting carefully. [music] [sighs] [ __ ] that don't look good.
Speaker A
The hell was that? Get us. Huh? Huh? Who are you? Who are you? [groaning] Who are you? Where are you from? Where are you from? Where you from? Where are you from? [screaming] I'm asking you.
Speaker A
Huh? Huh? Huh? Where are you doing here? What are you doing here? Huh? What are you doing here? What are you doing here?
Speaker A
I'm I'm an American. My name is Leviticus Cornwall. [screaming] Can I hit the ombre? Huh?
Speaker A
Let's get the area. [groaning] You okay? I don't know. Maybe there's still time to get to the other workers.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah. I think I hear voices coming from the other ruins down there. Let's sneak down and take a look.
Speaker A
Which way? I'll show you. Batista, you don't look good. You should rest here. Okay. You'll need this.
Speaker A
Come follow me. Stay close behind me. I know a way we can sneak around.
Speaker A
Okay. Keep quiet and don't kill anyone. If they catch us, they'll murder the workers for sure.
Speaker A
Who was that fell? Shh. One of her men. Quick hide. Oh yeah. Over there.
Speaker A
Okay, they've moved. Come on, keep close behind me. Let's go. Stay close. Another one. Hide quick. [screaming] Okay, follow me. Keep quiet.
Speaker A
Two more ahead. Take cover on the other side. Watch it. Awesome. Maldito down from there. Shoot the ropes.
Speaker A
[groaning] Damn, [screaming] they're coming from behind. [screaming] Got a hit. I [ __ ] [music] There's one on the roof.
Speaker A
[music] Still on the roof. [music] That looks like the last of them. Thank you, my friend. I'm Baptist. I work with We owe you our lives.
Speaker A
Yes. Thank you. My pleasure. This place makes me miss home. Take care, my friend. Heck is getting a boat lined up to get you and your men out of here. Just meet him at Cinco.
Speaker A
We'll be there. Good. Good. Here. This is for you. Thanks. It's not much, but it's the least we can do. Good luck getting home.
Speaker A
[sighs] All right. Our duty it is Morgan. Hey. Hi. So uh what's the plan?
Speaker A
Well, I found the cave hair cool spoke of and also a guide. She's up ahead. I think we can trust her.
Speaker A
Follow me. The entrance is along here. Just watch your footing. So, what do we do when we get Javier?
Speaker A
Well, going to get the hell out of here, man. Set sail for the one place. Ain't nobody going to be expecting us.
Speaker A
Get everybody together [clears throat] and get ourselves back on course. Where would that be?
Speaker A
place we just escaped from. [laughter] You want to go back to Sandin? If it was you got left, you'd want us to go back.
Speaker A
I'd want it, but I wouldn't expect it. That's the point. Ain't no one going to expect it. We come back from the dead.
Speaker A
Gather everyone and we leave before anyone realizes. We've even resurrected. An insect bite you or something cuz you gone friend.
Speaker A
We look like what we are, a bunch of desperado on the run. But with the women, a change of clothes, well, we're a choir or a gang of pilgrims or something.
Speaker A
Whatever you say. We're a bunch of penniles fugitives on some Caribbean dump sneaking through caves while two of our best men got shot back home. How could I doubt you, Dutch?
Speaker A
You got no idea, Arthur. No idea at all. I will do whatever it takes for us to survive.
Speaker A
I guess that's what I'm afraid of. Hold on. Why no? The money, the gold, the key.
Speaker A
Oh, it's genuine, you old. Vamos, now that gold right there, that's the last bit of gold I have in my pocket from the bank. The rest of it is the bottom of the sea. Exactly.
Speaker A
I still lucky. You know, wasn't Fooar, one of the fellas Bronte pointed out to us at the party in Sandin.
Speaker A
Yeah, you're right. I knew I'd heard that name before. So, I met up with Leon. That situation with the workers is dealt with.
Speaker A
Captured, tied up, beaten. Poor bastards. No, that was me. Are you sure this Hercu fellers ain't just using us?
Speaker A
Almost certainly, but he's the best chance we have right now of getting out of this place. Won't be long before someone figures out who we are and sends word to the US.
Speaker A
So, what happened with John in that bank? He survived. Unlike dear Hosea and Lenny, the only one they took alive.
Speaker A
Why is that, you think? I don't know. I was already on the roof. I didn't see it.
Speaker A
And Abigail, I presume she was able to slip away in time. What are you talking about? You know, when I look back at all the chaos of the past few weeks, the apparent superficial chaos, I begin to wonder maybe for
Speaker A
somebody this is all going exactly to plan. I still ain't sure what you're saying Dutch.
Speaker A
The door is stopped. You'll have to lift it. Pardon me, my queen. Arthur, come help me with this.
Speaker A
Just lift it. Okay then. Almost there. [snorts] This way. See, then you pay more.
Speaker A
Okay. More. Just a second. Pay more. Pay now. What? What are you doing? Jesus.
Speaker A
Dutch. What was that? Horrible old crone. But you killed her. She was going to betray us, Arthur.
Speaker A
Couldn't you tell? No. Well, I got some Spanish. She was. You keep killing folk, Dutch.
Speaker A
I'm just trying to make sure that some of us survive, Arthur. Now, shall we proceed?
Speaker A
I guess. Listen, son. [clears throat] You think I want any of this? I don't know. Of course I don't. But I made a pledge to you all we would survive no matter what. So, how did you know she
Speaker A
was going to betray us? What'd she say? It was in her eyes and the way she was leading us. Bet you said you knew Spanish. I know human beings. Arthur, are you going to strangle me next?
Speaker A
I'm doing the best I can. [screaming] We're my friend. I do not understand. Who are you?
Speaker A
I come from Mexico. I never met those men. Does anyone believe him? Mr. Simon doesn't believe you. Even the mule doesn't believe you. [laughter] No, for this.
Speaker A
They're going to have to sneak around this way. They're all listening to that fob. They won't notice us if we stay quiet.
Speaker A
We need to deal with them. Well, I'm sure you got some ideas. Shut up and help me kill them.
Speaker A
On my count, you take the one on the right. I'll take the left. Okay, let's hide the bodies. You grab that one over here.
Speaker A
Let's head around the back of the building and see if we can find a way through.
Speaker A
Let's go in there. Well, you know me, Arthur. Hey, it's a little distraction and then poof, you will disappear.
Speaker A
Take the other side of this door. Okay, you take the nearest one on the left. I'll deal with his friend.
Speaker A
over here. I think I prefer the other one. Yes sir. Okay, now we need to create a diversion.
Speaker A
Well, what do you think? Find another old lady to strangle. That is enough, Arthur. This is a war.
Speaker A
Well, if this is a war, then we need to start blowing some stuff up.
Speaker A
Exactly. There any dynamite? Oh, no. We don't need dynamite. We got a furnace and lots of sugar.
Speaker A
Sugar? Oh, yeah. [snorts] No problem. You'll see. Go close the windows and the doors. Go on quick.
Speaker A
[clears throat] Create enough dust. This place will go. [clears throat] [groaning] [cough] Okay, [groaning] we are nearly there.
Speaker A
[music] Kimlin. All right, head on out and wait for me. I'll get this going.
Speaker A
We better hurry. Follow me. Okay. [music] I don't want to be too close to that building when it goes up.
Speaker A
Come on, we can hide behind that well. That place has to blow soon. Get ready to make a run for Javier.
Speaker A
Let's go. Am I glad to see you? I got you. Stay there and I'll hold them off.
Speaker A
There's more coming up here. You Thank you. All right, let's get hell out of here. Follow me.
Speaker A
This way. Stay with me. You okay there? [ __ ] I think he's passed out.
Speaker A
on the left. Take them out this way. We got move out. They're coming out after us. You got [music] Come on. See if we can lose them in the fields.
Speaker A
Get you out. Let's get across the river. We can hold him off from there.
Speaker A
You okay? He's passed out. They're dead. Ah, he'll be fine. I'll get him out of here. You stay here. Take care of these fools a bit.
Speaker A
This will give us a chance to get to their cool. Heat. Heat. Never. [music] [music] All right. Now, we did what you asked.
Speaker A
It's like I said, Fousar knows who you are and knows the price on your head.
Speaker A
It's a big problem. I see. But if we can silence him, then I can help you escape before anyone has time to get here from America. That way, we all get what we want.
Speaker A
We want to get the boat you promised us. And you will, but you have found yourself in the middle of a war, my friend. Fusso has called in the Navy from Cuba. There's no way a boat could leave right now.
Speaker A
V, come follow me. Quick. So now we have a real problem. This must be the boat he called in from Cuba.
Speaker A
That's a godamn warship. You kind of have to hand it to this fell. So I guess great minds think alike.
Speaker A
So what now? We fight. Any of you boys feel like running? So, what do we do?
Speaker A
I will go get the cannon ID. [music] Okay, let's get to it. Morgan, shoot that man.
Speaker A
On the beach. I see. There's more coming down the rack. This man more coming down the left side, fellas.
Speaker A
Arthur, Bill, you hold them back. They're cool. Get that cannon into position. I'll get the ammunition.
Speaker A
Why the hell are we doing this? This ain't our fight. Do you want to get off this island or not?
Speaker A
He's using us. Just shoot my gun up. You said you were getting us a goddamn boat for fuel. I am going to need your help, my friend.
Speaker A
Sure. Got one sneaking up on the right there. Don't let him get any closer. [music] Damn. This is how we do.
Speaker A
Damn, there's a whole lot more of this turning up. This don't look good, fellers.
Speaker A
Damn it. Let's go down and clear them off the beach. Wait, wait. I'll come to late.
Speaker A
We'll guard this thing. Drop that shotgun, Arthur. There's a lot of guns out there. So, what do we do?
Speaker A
I say we push forward cuz if we don't, we're going to die here and now. Okay, then. Follow me.
Speaker A
This is kind of fun. [screaming] [screaming] I think we can move. Let's go. You stay together. [music] Let's move down. Yes.
Speaker A
[screaming and groaning] The ship just hit the old man. Very kind of you, Mr.
Speaker A
Fousar. They are both coming [music] from both sides. You cover the right. Okay. And you take the left, Hercule. Okay. Good luck.
Speaker A
There's another boat coming in on the left. Look out for the landing on the ice.
Speaker A
Another boat landed on the beach. Just a few left now. Let's get down to the beach. This is not over yet.
Speaker A
[screaming] [music] Look out. Another boat just made land. I damn. He's getting closer. What do we do? Two of us must go and use the cannon.
Speaker A
You go, Arthur. I'll gladly hold him off this beach a while longer. You sure? Just certain, son. My leg.
Speaker A
You think that cannon will be enough? Only one way to find out. For Christ's sake, how many men got?
Speaker A
That's the problem. It doesn't matter how many we kill, he will have the money to get more.
Speaker A
Watch out. Damn. You will have to drive around the side this way with that for now. I got it. Let's go.
Speaker A
Okay. Hunter. Come on. out. You make the I get you some more shot. We [music] need to put a serious hole in that boat.
Speaker A
Keep firing. That one will definitely hit. Listen, that one. There we go. Yes. Take over.
Speaker A
Let's get down from here. Come on. Holding off. That was quite some shooting, boys.
Speaker A
Thank you. What now? Oh, they'll be back. But I found a boat for you. And he should be arriving on the dock anytime now.
Speaker A
Great. Micah, go meet with the captain. If he's amenable and discreet, tell them we'll be ready to set sail soon. Bill, come help me collect poor old Javier.
Speaker A
It was a great pleasure to make your acquaintance. [music] I thought I was dead for sure.
Speaker A
Boys, we got a real problem. Nice. Mr. Bousar don't want us going nowhere. He knows just who we are. If he can keep us here for a few more days, well, what about the captain of the ship here?
Speaker A
They got him trusted up like a hog. Guards all over the place. Got us surrounded with gun positions. So when we try to sail out, he's going to blow holes in us.
Speaker A
This fella is really beginning to try my patience. He ain't even had you tortured yet.
Speaker A
I like the man's style. He's thorough, nasty, and vindictive. However, in this instance, I don't see we got any alternative but we go and free our friendly captain and destroy the artillery. For once, I agree with you.
Speaker A
They're cool. Oh, I'll fight Alberto Fousea every day I can. All right, Bill, you're going to guard Javier on the ship here. Micah, Arthur, let's get to work. They're cool. We follow you.
Speaker A
Hale, this way. Quick, let's get up around the back of that artillery post. [music] There's two guards. Arthur, come on. Get your knife ready. You take out the first guy and I'll get the [music] other one.
Speaker A
Okay. Okay, we're clear. Let's plant the explosives. You [music] got it secured properly, cowpoke. I think so. Knowing you, I have my doubts. Shut up, M.
Speaker A
[laughter] Come on, run. Look out above us. Only one. Come on. There's another set of cannons up ahead.
Speaker A

Speaker A
We've killed better men than you fools. Enough. I have had enough of this. Arthur, the rifle. Sure.

I mean, we're headed back to Le Moine again, and we're all wanted men. We slip ashore one by one, find out what's what. And we don't cut and run now. Head back to Blackwater.
Speaker A
No. Why not? Because the last thing they'll be thinking is for us to turn up. We've been on the run for a while now, and it feels like like our luck has turned. You know, it ain't turning back. We had a
Speaker A
good run of it. I guess we ain't even played our hand yet. We just need to put some more money in our pockets. Make our escape. broke alone.
Speaker A
They're going to pick us off one by one and you know it. Maybe not. Maybe.
Speaker A
We need to split up. Keep a low profile. Try to track down the rest. But carefully see if they sent any mail.
Speaker A
Arthur, you check Shady Bell. We'll find each other eventually. We always do. And then what?
Speaker A
Then we meet up. We gather the family. We get some money and get the hell out of there. That's the plan.
Speaker A
We all acting crazy and that's not what I thought we were going to be doing.
Speaker A
We have been in a bad way. Listen, I will kill for my family. Any of you want to judge me for that? That's fine.

Speaker A
Yes, [laughter] thank you. It's been real hard, Dutch. We We've been surviving, but only just. What we going to do?
Speaker A
Things have been tough. There ain't no doubt about that. Trust me, I am going to get us out of here.
Speaker A
This ain't over. Ain't none of you folks interested in our adventures? Guess we're more interested in escaping the hangmen on our tail.
Speaker A
Cheerful nymph of the prairie, wasn't you Abigail? Oh, sure. My fair heart jumps for joy when I set eyes on you, Micah.
Speaker A
We buried Hosea a Dutch. Charles and I stole his body from the law one night and gave him a proper burial. It was real nice.
Speaker A
Mhm. Yeah. Well, here you is. Well, I asked everyone I could find and eventually someone knew said you fools were out here.
Speaker A
[ __ ] Give me a drink or something. Get your own damn drink. In our absence, Mrs. Adler here has been looking after things now. Sit down. This is Agent Milton with the Pinkerton Detective Agency.
Speaker A
Already on behalf of Cornwall Kerosene and Tar, the United States government, and the Commonwealth of West Elizabeth.
Speaker A

Speaker A
gentlemen. Sure. What next, Dutch? We just need some time. I just I I need some time. Now, we can't go east cuz then we'll be in the ocean. So, we're going to have to go north. I guess I

Speaker A
What are you going to do about John? Dutch. John? He's in jail. Well, we'll get him. Abigail, just not not yet.

Please do something. We will. Okay. I'm going to go figure out how we rescue this bastard.
Speaker A
Now, yes, now. Maybe at Doyles Tavern, Ameilio Avenue. Okay. My lord, what a godamn mess. Everything.

Well, I think you've heard them. I'm I'm coughing. Is there any blood? Sometimes. Uhhuh. Okay. Now, here. Breathe.
Speaker A
[sighs and snorts] Again. Let me see your tongue. Say ah. Ah. What is it?

Speaker A
Oh, well, you mean you're real sick. You It's a progressive disease and [music] you'll be Now, the best thing is rest and getting somewhere warm and dry and taking it easy. Now, is that possible?
Speaker A
Sure. I can just take my winters in my country club in California. No, it's not possible.
Speaker A
Well, like I said, I I'm real sorry. Yeah. Well, yeah. Wait, wait. Uh, let me get you a little bit more energy today.
Speaker A
We can't change what's done. We can only move on. You have it in you. I can tell.
Speaker A
He didn't have a choice. He was good and he did good. [music] [music] I'd like you a move.
Speaker A
White to D4. Black to F5. White to G3. Knight to F6. Bishop to G2.
Speaker A
Black to G6. Knight to F3. White, you okay there? E4. Working it all out once and for all.
Speaker A
Arthur, what now? We're back and I'm sitting here and I am contemplating the great journey of the sun and considering a famous chess move.
Speaker A
Those oilian actors of a mediocre justice, the Pinkertons, and their benefactor, the depressing millionaire Leviticus Cornwall. They want us, Arthur. They want us, and they are going to have us.
Speaker A
Maybe they ain't the problem. Meaning, I don't know. It's just Well, I can't help but feel we would have been better running off someplace else.
Speaker A
But the the game ain't over, Arthur. I mean, I ain't I ain't played my my final moves but I guess I'm more interested in saving lives than winning at chess. And maybe life ain't such a thing to cling on to
Speaker A
so tightly. No doubt. What about the women? You sound like Hosea. I miss him.
Speaker A
I asked you a question. What do you think? We can't stay here. That much is obvious. Where are we going to run to? I mean, they chased us from the west. They chased us over the mountains. They ran
Speaker A
us into the sea. All right, sir. Do you have my back? Always, Dutch. But there's more than your back to worry about. We need more money. We've been on the run for months now. And I seen you killing folk in cold
Speaker A
blood like you always told me not to. And I'm sorry, but I can't help but think that if we country in Ron Oak Ridge, past Butcher Creek, I believe we could hold.
Speaker A
Okay, you and Charles, you could take folks up that way. Micah and I need to do some reconnaissance.
Speaker A
I ain't got a final plan yet, Arthur. I ain't got it. I just need time.
Speaker A
I need time and no traitors. I turn to scripture at times like this. Charles, be right with me always.
Speaker A
Where are we headed? Up past Butcher Creek. Murphy Brew Country. That's why I'm asking you here to ride with me.
Speaker A
I understand. What are we doing now? We're looking for a place to hold up.
Speaker A
Even the law won't follow us up there too willingly. Yeah, I did some scouting over there while you boys were away.
Speaker A
And you'll see. I know the way. Follow me. You all right, girl? We need to get this done fast. The Pinkertons will have reinforced in another day or two. [clears throat] Yeah, the sooner we get out of here, the
Speaker A
better. It's quite a ride up there. I saw some canoes near the bridge up river, which would take us right up to Butcher Creek.
Speaker A
Might be quicker. What do you think? Yeah, a boat's probably a good idea. Okay good.
Speaker A
It's good to see you again, Charles. You too. Thanks for what you did in San Die. Real brave drawing them off us like that. I was worried you and Abigail both got yourselves killed. I found a spot to
Speaker A
lie low for a while, then managed to get a ride with a wagon of workers heading out to the fields. Abigail said she somehow managed to slip away when they grabbed Hosea. You did good getting the others out of there, keeping everyone
Speaker A
together. Everybody was pretty shaken up when I got back to Shady Bell. Ah, it was a tough few days. [music] I couldn't have done it without Sadi.
Speaker A
So, how did you find that spot back there? I assume the skulls on sticks weren't an addition of yours. Huh. Old Strauss knew about it. The locals are terrified of the place, so we figured that might buy us some time. And it did
Speaker A
until one of you brought the law with you. Where did you end up again? Cuba.
Speaker A
Oh, not exactly. an island off of there called Wararma. Landed ourselves in a heap of trouble. Really? A tropical island? Isn't that just what Dutch wanted?
Speaker A
Uh, I guess it didn't exactly live up to his ideals. Anyway, I ain't always sure Dutch knows what he wants anymore. Perhaps not. But he's always managed to figure things out in the past.
Speaker A
I know. Hey, you're right. Just it's been uh guess I just miss Hosea and his wisdom, you know. Of course.
Speaker A
There's the bridge. Oh. There should be some canoes down to the right here. Well, I see one anyway. That'll do. Come on.
Speaker A
[music] Okay. Butcher Creek is a few miles up river. So, I spent some time up this way while you were gone. I ran into rainsfall and eagle flies. The Indians. And I've been trying to help out a bit where I can at
Speaker A
the reservation. Things are bad there. That's not a surprise. They seem to be in a lot of trouble and ending in the war. Some men there spoke a lot about the Murphrey gang that hides out in these caves. We're going to need
Speaker A
to be careful. They're animals. Everyone is terrified of them. Great. Dutch didn't mention this.
Speaker A
Well, hiding up here, not a crazy idea. This is a spot nobody comes near, even the law. Just be ready. It won't be pretty.
Speaker A
So be it. Heat. Heat. [music] Heat. Heat. That's Butcher Creek up ahead. Who are they? The locals.
Speaker A
They don't look too friendly. Wait until you meet the Murphy's. All right, let's walk it from here.
Speaker A
Good evening. Can you help us? We're trying to find a spot called Beaver Hollow.
Speaker A
We don't take kindly to outsiders around here. Come on. They're not going to help us.
Speaker A
I'm pretty sure it's to the north up the road here. [music] These Murphrey Hills, stranger, might watch where you wander.
Speaker A
[music] It's a bit of a walk. We could grab those horses if you want. Probably won't miss them if we get them back by morning.
Speaker A
Bats move. [music] [music] You can see why folks don't want to come around here. Ain't exactly a welcoming place.
Speaker A
Lots of stories of people going missing around these parts. Just recently, a stage coach from Annisburg disappeared without a trace coming through here.
Speaker A
Guess that's good for us. Assuming these inbredad bastards are willing to part with their home, which I'm sure they won't be too pleased about. No, but I believe they hide out all over Rowan Ridge. These caves are just one of their
Speaker A
spots, which is why we should keep it down. They might have lookouts around. Okay.
Speaker A
You see that up ahead? Slow down. Keep it quiet. It could be some of them.
Speaker A
I say we dismount here and follow them on foot. See where they're going. Follow me. Stay quiet.
Speaker A
Let's get closer to him. Come on. Up this way. Hold on. I know you definitely Murphree.
Speaker A
I say we deal with them from here. You take one, I'll take the other.
Speaker A
Why do I always got to do Good job. We must be close now. Let's stop and have a look from the top of this hill there. Come on.
Speaker A
Let's go. Okay, let's see what's going on. [groaning] That's the stage coach went missing.
Speaker A
Jesus. They must be in the cave. All right, let's get on with this. Okay. What you think? We can head into the cave or flush them out with dynamite.
Speaker A
I surprised them in there. Okay, let's get a little closer. Ready? Let's get this over with.
Speaker A
Okay, someone's coming out of the cave. I'll keep watch. You deal with that one in the entrance.
Speaker A
Move quietly. Now, keep moving. Another one of my head. Where are you taking me?
Speaker A
Okay, let's go. Woo! Help! What tarnation [screaming] Help. No, no, no. Help. [screaming] Apart from the line. Oh, we're going to cut you up. Looks like it's on then, Charles.
Speaker A
[screaming] Okay, you were wrong about these crazy sons of [ __ ] [music] There per all over these hills.
Speaker A
[music] They got someone locked up in that cage. You want the girl, do you? You can join me.
Speaker A
[screaming] Only way of leaving here is Charles. You see any more? Knock them out. Come on. Let's get that poor girl out of the cage.
Speaker A
Please don't stay away from me. Don't touch me. [crying] We ain't going to hurt you. It's okay, miss. Just calm down.
Speaker A
[screaming] It's okay. It's okay. Sh. You're safe. It's okay. Come on. [snorts] It's time to go.
Speaker A

Speaker A
I know. What's your name, miss? It's okay. Meredith, you're going to be home soon, Meredith.
Speaker A
And this will all be over. [snorts] Thank you. Where in Anisburg? One of the mining cottages. Um, [laughter] if you get me to the main street, I can show you from there.
Speaker A
Okay, just try to relax now. [music] Yeah, just head for the main street. It'll be easier to walk from there.
Speaker A

[laughter] The man's dead. What's wrong with you? Oh, boy. You can't exactly beat it out of him now, can you? [laughter] You might get something off his widow just across from Butcher's Creek. But I'd hurry. You ain't going to be the
Speaker A
only one knocking. [laughter] You ought to be ashamed of yourself. I ain't the god forsaken money lender.
Speaker A
Get out of here. Hey, move it. On your way now. [panting] Never know much test.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah. girl. Oh, yeah. [panting] My lane. You've got someone please going to pack all your stuff. Angel, I don't want to go.
Speaker A
It'll be in advance. Mrs. London, Derek, [clears throat] Arthur's dead. I know. I know.
Speaker A
I'm sorry for it. It's just we lent Arthur some money, you see. And so it was you son of a [ __ ] What do you want now? You want my boy's shoes? You want the food out of our
Speaker A
bellies? What little there is? You want me to lie down for you? No. No.
Speaker A
Arthur gave everything to pay your bills. Everything. And now there's some fellas coming to take the house.
Speaker A
There ain't nothing left, mister. Uh, I just wanted to say the debt's canled. And to take this, it won't bring your husband back. I know you need money and I don't.
Speaker A
Okay. Well, you're a good man. I just wish you'd done it before he worked himself into the grave.
Speaker A
But, you know, maybe you and your friend that lent him the money could do things differently, like not threaten a man.
Speaker A
Excuse me. I'm sorry, ma'am. I really am. Okay girl. Yeah, you got [ __ ] for bra.
Speaker A
Go. Yeah. Hi uncle. Hey. Ah. How did you get on, Mr. Morgan? Just standing. Just get up.
Speaker A
What? Get up. What? What is wrong? Nothing's wrong. Nothing at all. What are you doing?
Speaker A
Something I should have done a long time ago. Get your bag. Is this it?
Speaker A
I don't understand. I ain't going to kill you, though. I probably should. You disgust me. And you shame us. If we could be shamed any more than we already are. That should do. Go.
Speaker A
I don't understand you. What are you doing? Go. and get a job. You know, they they say the sick delude themselves. I was your friends. You and me, we ain't decent. But those folk, they was now here.
Speaker A
Take that. Take that and get lost. I'm leaving. [clears throat] How this whole mess has me.
Speaker A
I said, "Hell, even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while." [laughter] Hey, you want company, boys?
Speaker A
Sure, cuz I want to be pissing needles tomorrow. [laughter] Hey, look down. Easy. Here we go.
Speaker A
Fish is down. Go away. Just go away. I'm sorry. [music] I'm really sorry, but I Well, well, you're sorry. Yeah, I heard you.
Speaker A
But I mean, well, I This country is man unleashed. That's the thing. And it ain't my fault any more than is anyone else.
Speaker A
Man unleashed. Then unleash goodness. Not just hell's feeble brother, sir. But how? I mean, all I know how to do is fight. I guess I was set free to fight.
Speaker A
Where's your son, Mrs. D? Where you think? Down the mine until he gets sick, which won't be long given how hard they work him. See, foreman don't like him, so he gets the worst of it.
Speaker A
Maybe I could go. Well, maybe you could just leave us all alone. Maybe maybe you could just go fight some other battle.
Speaker A
Um Hey boy. [laughter] Hey boy. Your mom's a [ __ ] little boy. Be quiet, Mr. Dockery.
Speaker A
Oh, your mom's a [ __ ] That's a goddamn fact. Hey, anybody want to get lucky tonight?
Speaker A
Go home here with Archie. [laughter] Be quiet, please. Oh, boy. Come on. We're just teasing.
Speaker A
There's nothing wrong with being a [ __ ] Can she get me a discount?
Speaker A
[laughter] I'm just joking. I wouldn't touch his mama with a 10-ft pole. She's repellent.
Speaker A
Ooh, you going to hit me now? Oo, he's going to hit me now. If you're going to hit me, it's on, you little maggot.
Speaker A
Why don't you shut up? Oh, all right. Who's this? Your daddy? My daddy died. And this man, he killed him. What are you doing here?
Speaker A
Leave the boy alone. Why'd you kill his daddy? You after his mama? [laughter] Stop bullying the boy.
Speaker A
Get out of my business, mister. Leave the boy alone. Or what? Or I'll kill you, too.
Speaker A
You couldn't kill no one. Look at you all ragged and sick and weak. Clear off you goddamn hermit. Clear [clears throat] off. You and the horse son here.
Speaker A
Can't even fight your [groaning] Can't even fight [clears throat] your own battles. [music] Let me go.
Speaker A
Who's then? Huh? I don't know. Get your hands on me. Ain't my [screaming] Ain't my fault you made the boy up, bastard.
Speaker A
[screaming] Now, who's next? Let the boy go. Let him go. Come with me. Shame on you. He's just a goddamn boy.
Speaker A
Let's get you out of here. They're going to kill me now. I got no job and they're going to kill me.
Speaker A
I've got some money. You and your mama can go someplace nice. Why are you doing this?
Speaker A
I don't know. Listen, take this all of it. Try and talk to your mama and get out of here. Now run.
Speaker A
I'll try. Good boy. I don't want to see you here again. Mr. Morgan, you still here, kid?
Speaker A
Yes. Mama Mama can't leave or won't leave. I don't know. I said I had the money. She said your money weren't moral. She said it'd be better to die than to take it.
Speaker A
Maybe she's right. I don't know. I don't know anything about moral. She's still heading out, working, you know.
Speaker A
I'm sorry, sir. Sorry about all of this. She ain't been back for a few hours. She left with some fellow down the railway tracks. I did not like the look of him.
Speaker A
Which way you say? That way. Around the woods towards uh Willard's Rest. I'll see what I can do.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah. No, thank you. Well, I ain't a baddie. I ain't. Of course not.
Speaker A
Well, deary been to jail, but it weren't my fault. I'm sure it's nice out here, huh? It's quiet.
Speaker A
Nice. Sure. Fell could do what he likes out here. I guess that's enough now, partner. You're starting to scare me, let alone the poor woman. Clear off.
Speaker A
Who are you? Someone who don't want to hear no more of your nasty mouth.
Speaker A
Push me. I'll put a bullet in you. I presume Archie sent you. I said clear off before I deal with you.
Speaker A
I'll see you again, deary. Listen. Listen to me. [laughter] Excuse me. You sound like my husband.
Speaker A
I know. Listen, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what happened. I was a fool and I'm suffering for my foolishness. But don't go and get yourself killed because of your pride. You have a son, Mrs. DS.
Speaker A
I'm just so ashamed. Ashamed of what? You loved him. You did everything for him. [laughter] Let's get you home.
Speaker A
All right. Let's go. Let's go, girl. Yep. I'm sorry you had to come to this.
Speaker A
Stop saying sorry. Sorry Thomas back. I know. So, you're sick now, [music] too? And you think that affords you the opportunity for penance for cutting his time short?
Speaker A
No, I ain't looking for that. Okay, then. So, just forget about me and the guilt you're carrying because no good can come of that for either of us.
Speaker A
And all you can do now is decide the man you want to be for the time you have left. Help someone who can still be helped. Why help yourself?
Speaker A
I suppose you're right. Oh, hang yourself for all I care. You're right to dislike me. I ain't looking for that to change.
Speaker A
Yeah. Oh, damn it. Archie should be waiting for us just up ahead. Mama. Mama.
Speaker A
[laughter] You silly boy. Archie. What we do? Get out of here. Go live someplace else.
Speaker A
Start over. Here, take this. I don't need it no more. I don't want your money.
Speaker A
Yeah, I know you don't want it. I don't. You sure as [ __ ] need it. Take it.
Speaker A
No. I ain't looking for forgiveness. It ain't about that. Don't forgive me. Just take the money and get out of here.
Speaker A
Please. I know I ruined your life. I suffer for it every day. But don't let yourself get killed for pride. I've seen it kill too many folk.
Speaker A
Don't say anything. Don't thank me. Just take the money and pack your bags. That's all I got to say.
Speaker A
Thank you, Mr. Morgan. I said don't thank me. Get out of here, please. Morning. Morning.
Speaker A
Yeah. Come on. I got places to be. Any problems coming in? Nah. Guess they know now we ain't in the city.
Speaker A
Who? Mr. Milton's friends. Yeah, they've had patrols out ever since you boys disappeared. Well, at least you're alive for now. Yeah.
Speaker A
What happened in Guama? Yeah. Nothing nice. [snorts] What happened to Dutch? Cuz he seems I don't know. Seems is what began happening in Blackwater began happening years ago. Maybe slow decline, I guess.
Speaker A
What do you mean? I ain't quite sure what happened here. I started gathering people up as best I could after you boys left. And John, you know that part.
Speaker A
I do. And Hosea. So that too. Hell, we got Lenny's body out as well.
Speaker A
Grabbed the morg and buried them together. Follow me. Yeah. So, what's your plan here?
Speaker A
Well, I figure before we do anything, we need to make sure John's even still at this prison. And how do we do that?
Speaker A
We need to get up high enough to get a proper look at the place.
Speaker A
What? It's on an island, ain't it? Unless you're planning on learning how to fly.
Speaker A
That's exactly what we're going to do. I found us a hot air balloon. You ain't serious.
Speaker A
Now the pilot or whatever you call him, he thinks we're just in it for a lesson.
Speaker A
Bit of a tour. He He's quite the character. I think you'll like him. You know, I'm impressed. You really stepped things up, ain't you?
Speaker A
Hey, we didn't know if you was even coming back. Whole thing hit folks real hard. You can see it. Karen's gone falling fully into the bottle. Strauss is a bag of nerves.
Speaker A
Swanson, well, Swanson's actually gone and cleaned up his act. So, I guess it ain't all gone to [ __ ] I'm just happy you boys were able to find us. Javier said he got the letter I left at the
Speaker A
post office. That was a good idea until the Pinkerton showed up. Oh, by the way, I've been hunting O'Driscoll boys. Killed two of the sons of [ __ ] at a campsite last week.
Speaker A
What? Yeah, seems they've drifted down this way now. You're a busy woman, Satan Adner.
Speaker A
Oh, she a beauty, ain't she? From here on the ground. Yes, Mr. Bullard. Mr. Bullard.
Speaker A
Ah, Mrs. Adler, it's good to see you. Good to see you. Ah, this is my friend I told you about, Mr.
Speaker A
Morgan. Ah, yes. Arturo Bullet. At your service, sir. At your service. Arthur Morgan. Well, it's a nice fresh day for flying, sir. A day like today in Icarus would have made it across the sea. Have you ever flown before, sir?
Speaker A
No. Oh, it's quite a thing. Quite a thing. Now, put these on and hop in.
Speaker A
Well, ain't she coming? Well, women can't fly, sir. Are you insane? We can't. Oh, no, sir. It does terrible damage to them, to their vapors. I thought everyone knew about that. Why a delicate flower like Mrs. Adler? Heavens
Speaker A
[laughter] above or below. Where'd you find this guy? I told you you two would get on.
Speaker A
Are you sure about this? Certain, sir. Quite certain. Ms. Let us away. Wish us luck. I've only crashed twice. Pull on that rope and hope for the best.
Speaker A
You boys have fun. How did you get out of this? Up, up, and away.
Speaker A
Right, time to catch a few vapors of our own. It's a little overcast, but I'm expecting some good wind once we're high enough. We should still have some decent views over the river.
Speaker A
Now, one hates to be coarse, but on the subject of ablutions, [music] liquids over the side, solids, do your utmost to levy the situation until we land.
Speaker A
Okay, Mr. Bullard. I had a client once who fell foul to a rotten oyster on the ascent. A decidedly harrowing experience for all involved.
Speaker A
Keep going, sir. We need to get up above the clouds. It really is stunning up [music] there. You'll have seen nothing like it.
Speaker A
[music] All right, then. Let's break through these clouds. My god. Yes, heavenly indeed. Quite remarkable, isn't it? Feels like we have a nice westerly wind. So, keep her around this hunt.
Speaker A
This particular vessel is stateofthe-art, sir. Imported from Europe. Won't find more than a couple of these on this side of P.
Speaker A
So long as it works. You sure you shouldn't be doing this? Oh, not at all. A child could operate this with a little supervision. Besides, Mrs. Adler told me you were very keen to learn the ropes. We have plenty of
Speaker A
those. She did, didn't she? Arthur and Arturo. How perfect is this? My mother was a keen student of the Italian 8. My brothers called Valdisario, so you could say I got off late.
Speaker A
Look, I I'm trying to concentrate here. Ah, that's better. Look, we can see for miles now.
Speaker A
Did you breakfast in the city this morning, Mr. Morgan? Not exactly. Well, I have a boiled egg in my pocket here that you're very welcome to.
Speaker A
I think I'm all right, thank you. recalling the blue discussion. Well, just say the word.
Speaker A
[music] So, if I may ask, what got you interested in the pursuit of aviation?
Speaker A
I didn't exactly. Mrs. Adler thought she'd surprise me. Ah, a very nice woman. And no shrieking violet. Definitely not.
Speaker A
I prefer slightly more feminine attire on a lady, but variety is the very spice of life, as they say.
Speaker A
Or is it, though? Did you know they locked up the man who wrote that in a mental?
Speaker A
I did not, Mr. Bard. See that building up ahead on the island? That's the infamous Sica Penitentiary.
Speaker A
We shouldn't fly too near to it, though, sir. Sorry, we're going in for a closer look.
Speaker A
What do you mean, Mr. Morgan? Please, this is mostly irregular. Well, you want a happy customer, don't you?
Speaker A
Look, this isn't funny. Now, what on earth are you doing? The gods are bound to spot us.
Speaker A
Calm down. They won't care if we stay high enough. I'm just looking for a friend of mine. a friend.
Speaker A
Poor bastard has a habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I heard they got him working the fields in a chain gang. Dear cop, the wind Well, this is most unusual.
Speaker A
Relax, Mr. Bullard, and take over and keep us well away. I'll do my best.
Speaker A
This Philly isn't the easiest to control. That's not him. Best try another spot. We look a little suspicious, wouldn't you say?
Speaker A
That could be him. Yep, that's him. My god. What are you doing? They're shooting at us.
Speaker A
I can see that. Ascend. Ascent. This is absolutely insane. The wind speed is picking up. We should stay at this altitude. It's heading northwestly. So, that should take us back to land. [music] God, I'm shaking like a leaf.
Speaker A
All right, we're in the clear now. Mr. Bullard, get up. Good lord, my heart is pounding.
Speaker A
I must say the specifics of this job were not described to me at all sufficiently.
Speaker A
Well, it's done now. Ah, there's Annisburg. Sure. Good lord. Is that Is that Mrs. Adler?
Speaker A
Where being chased? Yes. Try and get us near. Will there be more trouble, sir?
Speaker A
I expect so. I'm starting to rather enjoy this. [music] Hey, you're just [ __ ] there.
Speaker A
Mrs. Amber has a lot of Yes, she does. [music] What a hell with [music] the old right now.
Speaker A
Most excitement I've had in years. Just right. I'll deal with him. [music] Oh my god.
Speaker A
Let's go. Good. Sh. Grab a rope. Come on. Grab a rope. Look out. There's a bridge up ahead.
Speaker A
Okay, I'll come down and get you on the other side. I'mma hang out your damn high.
Speaker A
You're too high. [screaming] Hold. I'm coming. All right, hold it there, Arthur. Now, [screaming] let's get out of here.
Speaker A
Arthur hurry. I think we're going [music] to crash. We have a real hazard to see me on this.
Speaker A
Arthur, hold on. Did you break your neck? I don't think so. Maybe. Damn it. Look, there's more of them on the other side. They must have followed us. Get behind something. This ain't over yet.
Speaker A
These goddamn ocles. You can't leave it for one day. Just kill these sons of [ __ ] [music] We nearly got you.
Speaker A
[music] Look out. Wait. [music] Send every last son of a [ __ ] You got [music] any gold? They're mine.
Speaker A
[music] [ __ ] There's even more than coming out of the woods. [music] You ain't got damn.
Speaker A
Come on. Let's go get these sons of [ __ ] I'm nearly there. Only a few.
Speaker A
Look at those cowards. Yeah, you're right. I'll catch up with you [music] soon enough.
Speaker A
Looks like we made it. [music] That'll show them the hell. I only left you an hour ago. You can't stay out [music] of trouble for one goddamn hour. You got that poor bastard killed for his troubles. I kind of liked
Speaker A
him. They got comb the government. They got com odriscoll. They're going to hang him in sand.
Speaker A
Hang him. Okay. Mm- He's already been tried twice for murder and found guilty. Sure. No doubt he'll escape again.
Speaker A
No, he won't cuz we're going to make sure of it. I We have our own problems with the law in case you ain't noticed. Dutch will want to see him swing.
Speaker A
Sure, Dutch. He wouldn't even help us with Marston. And our situation is really messed up right now. You know how things is.
Speaker A
Bastard's going to swing. I'm going to make sure of it. Closely followed by Mar.
Speaker A
You saw him? Yes. In the fields. Okay, then we go rescue him. From a state penitenti?
Speaker A
No, but from the fields. Yes, that we can manage. It's well guarded. Guarded, sure, but not behind bars.
Speaker A
No, it's not behind bars. So, that's how we'll do it. Bust him from his work detail.
Speaker A
I guess it's best just the two of us go. The two [clears throat] of us is all there is anyhow.
Speaker A
Good, because two is all we'll need. I'll get us a boat, a little one, and we'll sneak in and get him out of there.
Speaker A
Meet me at Copperhead Landon. Thank you, Arthur. Whatever you say, boss. I heard that.
Speaker A
The thing is, Satie, I really can't. I must come. He's my husband. I know he's your husband, but it's going to be well, it's going to be violent.
Speaker A
I can handle myself just fine. I'm coming. Like I said, ain't happening. You got a boy.
Speaker A
I insist. Insist all you like. Ain't happening. Arthur Tiller. Tell her what? She ain't coming with us to collect her husband.
Speaker A
Abigail, you ain't coming. That's the end of the matter. See there? You heard him. Now, let's go.
Speaker A
But but nothing. It'll be quicker and easier with just the two of us. Plus, John will be calmer without worrying about you.
Speaker A
ain't complicated. Well, well, I ain't the crying sort, but I'm real grateful. Yeah, we know you are. We'll bring him back to you.
Speaker A
Thank you. Thank you both. All right, here goes nothing. The place is surrounded by marshland. Should hopefully give us a bit of cover to move in close enough to find a spot and look for John. This time of day, prisoners
Speaker A
will probably be working the fields. Then all we got to do is take out all the guards and row our way out of there.
Speaker A
Seems simple enough. How many times, Marston? [music] Okay, bring us over. We good? Uhhuh.
Speaker A
Let's head for that watchtowwer. Okay, stay low. There's a guard up there. I'll deal with him.
Speaker A
Okay, I'll follow you up. Okay, come on up. All right. Where's John? Hey, I think I see them. There's a group in front of that barn just to our right.
Speaker A
Ah, yeah. I see two guards. Okay, take them out and let's go get our boy.
Speaker A
Okay. Wait. [ __ ] I don't think that was John. Let's go over there and see.
Speaker A
Okay, come on. I think one of those guards was still moving. Come on, Arthur. Let's keep moving.
Speaker A
Where is he? You see him? No. You, mister, you know John Marsden? [music] I He ain't He ain't working today. Put the gun down, lady.
Speaker A
No. You put the gun down. Now, where's John Marston? He ain't in the work detail today.
Speaker A
Okay. Well, I guess we'll go and get him together. Try anything and I'll blow your damn head off. You clear on that?
Speaker A
Yes. Very clear. [music] Oh, no you don't. Come on, partner. [clears throat] Hey, why don't you apologize to the lady for pointing a gun at her?
Speaker A
Excuse me? I said apologize. I'm sorry, ma'am. Ain't no harm done. So, where do we go?
Speaker A
Towards [snorts] the entrance, I guess. Who's in charge of this fine establishment? Jameson, sir.
Speaker A
Jameson who? No, Mr. Jameson. H Jame Jameson. Is he a nice fell? Uh, he's been quite an exacting boss at times. [music] I look forward to meeting him.
Speaker A
They're They're not going to let you do this. Well, that's going to be up to you, my friend.
Speaker A
So, you a popular employee, my friend? Not especially. Well, I guess we're about to find out.
Speaker A
Come on, march it. Straight up to the front gate. You better hope someone in there actually gives a damn about this fool.
Speaker A
Guess we'll see. We're going to have to shoot our way out of here regardless.
Speaker A
Don't shoot. [music] Stay down. Okay, friend. Be cool now. Just do as I say.
Speaker A
Put the weapons down now. Jameson, is Jameson in? Well, he's in sub today. They got Milican.
Speaker A
Got him and going to kill him. Unless you bring me John Marston right now. You got one minute. I'm counting.
Speaker A
One two three. Milikin, is it? Yes, sir. Will you count for me? I got talking to do.
Speaker A
Yes, sir. Of course, sir. [clears throat and cough] [snorts] From 1 or 14. All very funny. Now, we must be at 11 by now.
Speaker A
11 12 13 [laughter] faster. 14 16. Now, hurry up. Well, this poor fool's going to get his brain shot out. And over what? For nothing.
Speaker A
Milikin, don't stop counting. I can't hear you. Hurry up and bring that [ __ ] out here, you bastards. Come on.
Speaker A
Don't cry, buddy. I don't want to die. Yeah, [laughter] I know. I know. Hey.
Speaker A
Hey, John. Love you, too. Now, no funny business for Mr. Mannequin here to stop crying once and for all.
Speaker A
Okay, today's your lucky day. Let's go. Let's clear these and make a run for it.
Speaker A
Turn around. We've got to move. [music] Been a while, John. [music] I'll explain later.
Speaker A
Time to go. Yeah, believe me, that was my one and only time flying. Okay.
Speaker A
[screaming] [music] [groaning and screaming] We got to move. How do we get out of here?
Speaker A
We got to move this way. Get down. Hold them up so we can get to the boat.
Speaker A
You always seem to need rescue at Marston. [music] Nice to see you, Arthur. Ah, there's some fellas coming here.
Speaker A
Don't look too friendly. We best get out of here. Come on, boss. Let's move. I'll rogue.
Speaker A
You shoot. Seriously, let me. You You're a better shot. All right, fine. You just relax and enjoy yourself, John. Leave the real work to them as can still handle it.
Speaker A
Thanks. Keep them off us. Thanks for the hospitality, boys. You know, I think I liked you better when you was all trust up like a prized chicken.
Speaker A
No doubt. Oh, hurry up. They're going to be on our tail soon enough if you boys keep wasting time.
Speaker A
That's us told them. [groaning] Hey Arthur. Thank you. Don't mention it. Let's go. We should get out of here quick before the law gets wind of this.
Speaker A
So, what the hell happened in Sandin? Is Abigail all right? She's fine. Jack is, too. She managed to escape when they got Hosea.
Speaker A
Hosea? That still don't seem real somehow. All them years. Arthur, he was like like family. Yeah, we lost young Lenny, too.
Speaker A
No. What a goddamn mess. And did we What about the the money? Lost somewhere at the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker A
What? How the hell did that happen? We hid on a boat. There's the only way out of there. The boat went down in a storm and we ended up stranded on an island somewhere near Cuba.
Speaker A
Cuba? Wait, you're going to have to tell me all this again. It's a long story, but things ain't been good, John.
Speaker A
You're telling me? We're holed up now in the mountains to the north near Rono Ridge, some caves there. The Pinkertons caught up with us again and we had to move.
Speaker A
Yeah, seems Molly ratted us out. The [ __ ] So, she's dead, too. Jesus.
Speaker A
Maybe you should have just left me to hang. And I should warn you, Dutch didn't want us breaking you out.
Speaker A
Said it wasn't the right time. So, might not be the hero's welcome, you're imagining. So much for No Man left behind. I can't stop thinking about this. [music] In the bank when they grabbed me, he saw it. Felt almost like
Speaker A
he had a a moment to do something and didn't. The Dutch ain't himself right now. Or maybe he just ain't who we thought he was.
Speaker A
Guess we don't need to worry about who's his favorite no more. Huh? Guess not. Heat.
Speaker A
Heat. You brought him back to me. We told you we would. John, what are you doing here? It's good to see you, too, partner.
Speaker A
I meant I hadn't sent for you yet. I went, but I said that. Yeah, I know what you said.
Speaker A
I felt different. Is that so? Yes. And when Spring and John brings the law down on all of us, what then, Arthur?
Speaker A
Well, I guess we'll have another fight on our hands. Loyalty, [sighs] Arthur. It ain't.
Speaker A
I had a godamn plan. John. John. You are my brother. You are my son. I was coming for you.
Speaker A
They They was talking of hanging me. Dutch. They was talking. They was talking. And now they may come and hang us all.
Speaker A
[cough] [snorts] [music] [music] Arthur. Arthur. Oh sorry. I was miles away thinking of uh I don't know.
Speaker A
Dutch said to tell you he and Mike have gone to Annisburg. Something about Mr.
Speaker A
Cornwall. Cornwall. [sighs] Okay. Thanks, Mary Beth. Arthur, lots of things happen. Dear sir, you were once very kind to B and myself, and it pains me to ask you to show us further kindness. But I have nowhere else to turn, and nobody else
Speaker A
upon whom I can impose. I will, of course, pay you handsomely for your troubles. My family have turned quite mad and are threatening to send me away to stop my work, which they say is disgracing them. As if their history of
Speaker A
absolute moral depravity, utter debauchery, and perpetual drunkenness did not disgrace them enough. I must escape. Yet I am kept prisoner here. Can you help? Most days I am to be found at the cabins on the plantation. The main
Speaker A
house and all it stood for are thankfully no more. Yours faithfully, Penelopey Braithweight. Yeah. Heat.
Speaker A
Heat. Yep. Oh, sir. Just in time. I'm lost out here and I ain't got no food and no water.
Speaker A
I will go They better not be on break. [music] Wow. [music] Rub the sleep out your eyes. We're here.
Speaker A
Thanks, mister. You help me out. Doing all the work. I was the last time.
Speaker A
Yeah. Heat. Heat. Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey ah Oh, you came. You came. You finally
Speaker A
came. I came. Oh, thank you. Thank you. You lovely, lovely man. Better calm down, miss.
Speaker A
Oh, come on. Let's go. We ain't got a minute to lose. They killed her. They killed Miss Calhoun. All she wanted was a better lot for women and they killed her. Those pigs.
Speaker A
Who killed her? I don't know. My cousins probably or or bows. Well, you met them. They are animals. Not even animals. Monsters.
Speaker A
Monsters. If God had lost all his powers of imagination. Can you Can you please take me to the train station? Bo will be waiting.
Speaker A
Bo, why couldn't he come and rescue you? Well, if they saw me and him together, they'd lynch him and send me off to a nunnery. Or maybe they'd lynch us both.
Speaker A
I ain't quite sure. They do so love hanging folk. Where you heading? Up to Boston.
Speaker A
Good. Yeah, I like you up there. Come on, let's go. Of course. I'm in your hands. Just get me to Roads Railway Station.
Speaker A
Okay, let's try and get you a train. B's just waiting at the station in the hope you'll show up or I'll show up to help you show up.
Speaker A
He goes to there every day he [music] can. Makes up some excuse or other. I said he would see me there one day soon, and today he will, God willing.
Speaker A
Well, well, if he's there, that's true [music] love. All right. I've hardly seen him since the rally.
Speaker A
They watch me so carefully and he's waited. [music] Or so his letters say. Our families won't let us out. And then all that [music] business with Aunt Catherine and my cousins, you saw the house. And then Lee Gray
Speaker A
[music] and those boys killed. So much bloodshed. [music] You'd think this could be a new beginning, but everyone left alive. They're even more angry.
Speaker A
Maybe anger's a complicated thing to [music] let go of. Something good has to come out of this awful, awful feud.
Speaker A
That's what I've been hoping. Bo and I have to be better. Our families were here for years and years. Sometimes [music] I feel like we can't just leave death and and pain and ruination behind us.
Speaker A
Plenty before you have, plenty will again. But yeah, as far as it goes, get out. Don't look back. Make something decent of your lives.
Speaker A
I know the route. And this is [music] not the right one, sir. He's a good man, isn't he? Bo, there are worse. He's kind and he's caring [music] and he's strong.
Speaker A
[snorts] I'm sorry. I I didn't mean to laugh. He He's a lot of things, but And not strong like you, but [music] strong enough to stand up to his family.
Speaker A
To be different from folk. You don't know how hard that can be to say something is wrong [music] when everyone around you thinks it's right.
Speaker A
No, perhaps I don't. [music] Well, he is a good man and he's lucky. You're both lucky [music] to have each other.
Speaker A
This could be the best day of my life [music] or the worst. I can't bear not knowing which.
Speaker A
Hold on. It'll [music] be clear soon enough. We're here. He He'll be out at the front. Will you ride on the train with us a little? Just just to the first stop.
Speaker A
Fine. You came. You came at last. You came. Oh, Bo, my sweet. My best of men.
Speaker A
Oh, mly man at all. But I love you, Penelopey Braithweight. I heard one. Sir, how can we ever repair your kindness?
Speaker A
Well, some of them jewels would do just fine. Bo Arthur's going to join us. I think we need the support. Please, could you buy the tickets, dear Mr. Morgan? We We can't chance being seen.
Speaker A
Sure. Thank you. We'll meet you on the platform. Money to be made on the new railroad.
Speaker A
Can I have three tickets to Sanden, please sir? Of course. Oh, hello sir. Hello Alden. I hope all is well.
Speaker A
Uh, not terribly, but good to see you. Hey, hey, come alone. Put that up and get Excuse me, Alden.
Speaker A
You leave them alone. Get off me. Get on the train. Get your bags, miss. I got this.
Speaker A
Come here, Yankee. With pleasure, you goddamn fool. [snorts] You want to come back here without giving you a whip?
Speaker A
We should have done this last time. Get on the train. Go to your woman. Poor fish. Now there's only one of you. It was Please get on.
Speaker A
Ain't this fun? You got him. Quick, come up on the train. Goodbye roads. Hello, future.
Speaker A
All right, all done. That is quite a family you got there, son. I know. Charming to the last. Then again, my uncle used to keep his own half brother as a slave. So, what do you expect? Good manners.
Speaker A
My uncle used to say things were better the way they were when he could rape and kill with impunity. And he didn't have to work a day in his life. Both our families. There's good people in this county, but our families bully them and
Speaker A
drove most of them off. Whites as well as blacks. All over this silly feud.
Speaker A
Yeah. Well, bound to life. Oh my lord. What? I think it's my second cousin.
Speaker A
What is with it with all these goddamn cousins? I think they found out about the jewels.
Speaker A
If I keep your [music] heads down, I'll deal with this jewels. I knew you had some damn jewels on the hill. You must have all the jewels in the state of your cousin's here.
Speaker A
[music] They off. Man, that'll be bright white. This ain't about no star cross lovers. She robbed her own family blind.
Speaker A
[music] Good for her. I killed my cousin soon as she touched the grave. They're coming from behind the train.
Speaker A
[music] It's all over the edge. [music] [music] [music] [music] They're there. It's all going to be all right.
Speaker A
Damn those brutes. Damn those brutes. It's all right. It's over. Look, is that the driver? He's abandoning us.
Speaker A
Hold tight. All right, I'll take a look up front. What will you do? I'll figure it out.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Heat up here. Heat up here. Heat up here. Heat up here. Heat up here.
Speaker A
Why have we stopped? It's best you go on alone from here. Mr. Arthur, I didn't know you could drive a train.
Speaker A
Neither did I. But if I'm honest, it was kind of fun. Man, I didn't [laughter] kill any of us. I killed some of your relatives, but they would have killed all of us.
Speaker A
You are a gentleman, sir. Oh, no. I ain't. Yes, you are. Here. I ain't got much money, but these sapphires are worth a lot of money. Old family heirloom.
Speaker A
That Braithway treasure. I couldn't take it. Now, let's get you off to Boston before any more of your relatives show up.
Speaker A
That might be wise. Hey, you there? Yeah. This couple is heading up north to the Boston line. They got money. They'll pay you on arrival. That work for you?
Speaker A
Yeah, sounds fine. Get on in. Hey, you carry protection on a journey like this? I wouldn't be much of a stage driver if I didn't. Goes everywhere I do. Hey, Miss Braithweight is going to hold on to this until arrival.
Speaker A
On account of the treasure on your person. I don't know how to thank you.
Speaker A
You're a fine man, sir. Just get out of here. I'll leave you. Was you followed? [screaming] No.
Speaker A
Was you followed? I said no. Okay. [laughter and cough] What is your problem? What is your problem, partner? You don't uh you don't look [clears throat] so good.
Speaker A
What is wrong with you? Nothing wrong with me. I'm fit as a fiddle. Not inside you ain't.
Speaker A
I'm just a realist friend. Michael reckons there's a rat. Oh, does he? On what evidence?
Speaker A
He's only back a minute. Pinkerton show up. We've been on the run since you two fools went crazy in Blackwater. We barely escaped with our lives in Sanden.
Speaker A
Now we got a rat. Well, Molly clearly talked, but who else? Maybe we pushed things too hard.
Speaker A
Maybe [snorts] time for folks like us has passed. We don't need a rat. We got sloppier than the town drunk. And they know who we are and where we are and what we're doing.
Speaker A
Way I see it, best thing we can do is let the wheat go. Move on, get her money, and start over.
Speaker A
That ain't happening. Well, something's got to happen and fast. Otherwise, Cornwall, them Pinkertons, they've got us panned in here, and ain't none of them stopping. Well, Cornwall's why we're here, shall we, Dutch?
Speaker A
Yeah, it's time to go. Let's head to the river. A leave Cornwall alone. He ain't We need money, but revenge now. Of course, it's for money.
Speaker A
Come on, Arthur. This better not be no stupid revenge mission, Dutch. It ain't worth it.
Speaker A
Don't be ridiculous. Oh, Arthur, it's just a simple social call. So, what are we going to say to him that needs to be said? He has been hunting us since Valentine. He is the reason that Hosea got killed. His sugar business is
Speaker A
destroying the people of Guarma. This town, Arthur, it's his town. He bought it just to destroy these folks. His sugar, his oil, his law. These are wrongs. You can't write, Dutch. We're wanted men.
Speaker A
So why did you go for John against my wishes? I didn't want him hanged.
Speaker A
Neither did I. We're going to cut a deal. Arthur, what are you talking about? We want out and Cornwall wants us to stop robbing him. And we all know his money is what's keeping the Pinkertons on our tail. He's
Speaker A
America, Arthur, and I want out. And he he won't let us go. This ain't making a lot of sense, Dutch. It will, son. It will. A deal, some noise, and then we're gone.
Speaker A
Cornwall's boat is due in soon. [music] Let's go down here behind these crates. I want to thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Cornwall.
Speaker A
This was a business meeting, Mr. Milton. We are not friends. I have spent a considerable fortune with your agency and still nothing. This Vanderland robs me and laughs at me. I asked for the best. I paid for the best.
Speaker A
We are very close, Mr. Cornwall. I know you've heard this before. Chance, sir. Send a telegram to Goldberg in New York. Tell him I won't borrow it more than 3.2%. Sorry. No, I have heard it before. And get that army man to pay
Speaker A
his portage charge. Yes, sir. We are doing all we can within the confines of the law.
Speaker A
The law? I think we both know what you can do with your laws. Find me Dutch Vanderland. Bring him here and leave the laws to them as need them. Good day, sir. Come along, Mr. Ross. We have work
Speaker A
to do. Mr. Dsbury. Mr. Corner. Now, listen up, Didsbury. What's all this about strikes? I bought into this mine because of mismanagement, and I intend to make it a success no matter what the cost.
Speaker A
It's the wages. Folk feel that feel business doesn't give two figs about feelings, sir. Not two figs. It's a nonsense that will bring a plague on both our houses, sir.
Speaker A
Perhaps there is a plague on your house already, Mr. Cornwall, what do you want, sir?
Speaker A
I'm not quite sure just yet. Your impudence will be your undoing, sir. I'm undone already. Even my best friend here, he thinks I'm crazy. And like this poor fellow you are talking to, my feelings are hurt.
Speaker A
You robbed me, sir. And you robbed him. Funny world. You show a criminal's grasp of sophistry, sir. I did no such thing. You kill, I kill. You rob, I rob. Only difference I can see is I choose whom I kill and rob.
Speaker A
And you destroy everything in your path. I've heard just about enough. I'll tell you what. You give me this ship, $10,000, and safe passage out of here. I'll let you live.
Speaker A
[laughter] I'll do no such thing. You sure? Good. I prefer it this way. You lost your mind. Noise, Arthur.
Speaker A
Noise. Oh [ __ ] What the hell have you done? Come on. Mike is going after those papers. Let's find him and get out of here.
Speaker A
We got to find out for you, boy. from that building. Look out up there on the left.
Speaker A
I found something interesting. Come on, we got to move. Cornwall's men are all over the place.
Speaker A
Follow me and stay close. We [music] beat us before. Now I'm going to be torched. This is the only way. You'll see.
Speaker A
Trust me. Trust me. You sure? Shut the hell up. We got more ahead. Clear us some space.
Speaker A
You said this wasn't a revenge mission. It wasn't. We got what we came for.
Speaker A
Those papers. We're pulling that bastard. I put that fast corn out of business for good. You put that me I just follow orders. Morgan got to move on. Arthur, let's go. Let's go.
Speaker A
over here. The hell out of this place. Shoot that oil wagon. Come on. We can take the horses from that coach.
Speaker A
Let's go. Well, at least we tried talking it out. Boys have lost your minds. Oh, I felt a lot of guilt in this life, Arthur. I've killed too often and poorly, but not this time, son.
Speaker A
Come on. All right, let's head for the hills, boys. They're trying to block us all. Go right.
Speaker A
[music] Look out. We got more ahead. [music] on the left. Lower the bastard. [music] [music] They're trying to cut us off again. Go left. Lose them through the river.
Speaker A
[music] Look out, fellas. They're still coming [music] to the master. [music] Looks like we lost now, baby.
Speaker A
[music] [music] We all okay? Interesting social call. Oh, don't play dumb and superior at the same time, Morgan. We all knew sooner or later Cornwall had to go.
Speaker A
Let me see them papers. It's more attention we don't need. Feels like the whole world's closing in on us. Dutch, it won't be long before they find where we're hiding out now. Especially as we ain't exactly hiding out.
Speaker A
We just need a distraction. Buy us some time. It looks like Mr. Cornwall's company has signed a railroad contract with the army.
Speaker A
And they're also moving dynamite down from well the Annisburg mines to Sandin to resell.
Speaker A
And there's bonds [clears throat] at his oil factory. Maybe there's a way to get them off our back and get the money that we need.
Speaker A
Micah, you look into this dynamite. Take Bill. I guess Arthur, you go too. We are going to need a lot of it. And Micah, we need to talk. Figure out some things.
Speaker A
Of course, boss. Figure out what the plan getting out of here. Nothing's changed. It hasn't, huh?
Speaker A
There's an old house west of Van Horn. Meet me there when you can, Black Lung.
Speaker A
Let's split up. We'll meet up back at camp. This is crazy. [cough] [clears throat] Reverend, you okay, Mr. Morgan?
Speaker A
[sighs] I don't know, Reverend. These are challenging times for all of us. Yes, very challenging.
Speaker A
You don't seem yourself somehow. I I've always felt I've left the morphine, sir. Reverend Swanson, would you excuse us a minute?
Speaker A
Of course. New York. We are going to go to New York. Now, they have been chasing us south and east and west. We're going to get a boat. We're going to get on a river and we're going to go north. New
Speaker A
York, then Tahiti, the Fiji Islands, or this place, New Guinea, dancing girls, freedom. But first, we have to make a whole lot of smoke, a whole lot of commotion, and then we disappear.
Speaker A
We need more commotion. One score and one whole hell of a lot of noise.
Speaker A
We ain't so good at doing scores anymore Dutch. Are you feeling all right, Arthur?
Speaker A
Sure, I'm fine. Pardon me for interrupting. I brought a friend, Arthur. Hello. Hello, Dutch. This is Eagle Flies. His father is a great chief. Charles and I, we pretended to be mercenaries. Did me a great favor.
Speaker A
Dutch Vanderland, how do you do? Not well, sir. Well, I am sorry to hear that. How's your father? Father has confused wisdom with weakness. His people, my people, we've suffered too much, been lied to too much. Now they taken our horses.
Speaker A
Who? The infantry division posted at Fort Wallace. Why? Colonel Favors is a liar and a murderer.
Speaker A
His people won't stop until we're all dead. Without horses, we cannot hunt. Without hunting, we will starve. This is another act of war.
Speaker A
I see that. You men have helped me before and I have money. Put your money away, son.
Speaker A
What do you think, Charles? You know, I told your father I will not fight over some horses.
Speaker A
But I made no such promise. Come along. Yeah, Arthur. We must go with them and try to stop things from getting out of hand.
Speaker A
I guess. Come along. We can get them more horses. I know. I understand Eagle Flies is angry, but I don't see how this will help anything.
Speaker A
Especially not with Dutch whipping them up into a frenzy. Got enough folks coming after us without adding arms.
Speaker A
Walk all over you. No, you're not. This is all that's wrong with this world.
Speaker A
Okay, young man. and lead the way. The horses are on a boat near Van Horn.
Speaker A
I have a man waiting for us there with some canoes. Surely this can be done without killing anyone.
Speaker A
Of course. What will be will be. Anyway, son, tell me about this Colonel Favors.
Speaker A
He's a vile man. He and his regiment take pleasure in persecuting [music] us. All the young have been taken from our reservation, shipped off to reform schools. Many women, too. The old [music] are weak and sick, but they
Speaker A
deliberately withhold medicine and supplies from us. This ends today. You have my word on that.
Speaker A
Why are you getting involved in this, Dutch? You know me. We shoot fellas as need shooting. We save fellas as need saving. Feed them as need feeding. Not this again. It's been quite a while since we helped anyone but ourselves.
Speaker A
And even you know that I told you noise. We need noise, Arthur. Noise and faith.
Speaker A
I still don't know what that means. Stop questioning and think. Just think for a second. The Pinkerton have had time to reinforce.
Speaker A
The civilized world is closing on us. Who knows what else Molly told them? We need to move towards a conclusion now.
Speaker A
Sure, but what's this got to do with any of that? Some good, honest conflict between the army and the Indians might be just the distraction we need. Kill two birds with one stone.
Speaker A
Cornwall was funding the Pinkerton's assault on us. Why do you think I dealt with [music] him? With Cornwall gone, the government is far more likely to divert them to other issues, especially if there's one more scandal and then we
Speaker A
can slip away. Like I said, we just need that noise and one more score. You know, I went back for the chest I had hidden outside Shady Bell. And we're close, Arthur. That dynamite, the railroad contract with the army, it was all in
Speaker A
those papers Micah found. I have a plan. You just have to trust me. There's Pa.
Speaker A
These men, like I said, they'll help us. I got the canoes. The boat is still mored in the channel.
Speaker A
Good. Let's wait until nightfall. All right, let's set out. We need to get that boat ashore. I think the best plan is to paddle up there silently, border, and when we got control, we'll deal with that anchor, float away. We'll be ashore before
Speaker A
anybody even knows what happened. Good luck. Pull up alongside quietly. Try not to kill anyone, Arthur.
Speaker A
You mind the horses? I need a smoke. Oh no. Again. They had a sniff of a good hand all night. I'll be return.
Speaker A
I'm in. Crazy. We can go higher than that. God damn it. No, I'm out.
Speaker A
All right. Uh cal What the hell? Chip, we got a problem here. I found a body. We have attackers on board. Take it back what's ours.
Speaker A
[music] left. We'll get away. We'll find out about those horses down below. Arthur, deal with that anchor.
Speaker A
Sure. You think I have the first idea how this anchor works? Just blow it up then.
Speaker A
Hurry. Come on, Arthur. seem to be going pretty fast, but I'm trying. We're headed through those rocks. Hold on.
Speaker A
What is wrong with you? Boys all right back there? Yeah, I think so. But there's a huge hole in the boat.
Speaker A
Horses are spooked and we're taking on water. Come on, let's get him out of here.
Speaker A
Well, whatever else is wrong with you, you're quite the best pilot I've ever come across.
Speaker A
The horses are confused. We need to round them up. I'll get these four. Arthur, can you go after the others?
Speaker A
Okay. over here. Come on. Good job. Yeah. Heat. Good girl. That's her. Seems like Uncle Sam likes you fellas even less than he likes us.
Speaker A
So it goes. Father doesn't want to fight again. Will one of you help me return the horses to my men?
Speaker A
Well, Arthur. Oh, Arthur needs to rest. I will. I like you, son. And after the horses, are we going to wait for the army to come and wreak its revenge?
Speaker A
I hope not. Of course we ain't. Now, let's go check out that fort of theirs.
Speaker A
Is this a good idea? This is the only idea, and it is one that will suit both of our purposes.
Speaker A
Fighting the army ain't wise. Stop worrying. Oh, and Sadie told me about comb. Meet us at Doyle's Tavern in Sandin when you can. Shall we go, son?
Speaker A
Certainly. We'll start some light reconnaissance out at Fort Wallace, and when Combmes dealt with, you come meet us there.
Speaker A
We'll set up a good spot for you. I don't know, Dutch. Yeah, well, I do.
Speaker A
This is exactly the distraction that we need. Your father said that fighting was an impossible gamble. There's no winning for you in this.
Speaker A
Father need not know anything. He'd rather live in ignorance. Come along, General. Your father would rather you did not do anything so foolish.
Speaker A
I said I would stop this from happening. Would you talk to him? Speak with Rangeful?
Speaker A
Yes. Would you? Sure. I'll speak with him. You head on back to camp. Check on the others. Dutch's behavior. It's I understand.
Speaker A
Thank you, Arthur. Hello. Come in. [clears throat] [cough] You don't sound very well. I'm not. I'm I think I'm dying.
Speaker A
And I hope you find peace. Well, I don't know too much about peace. Apparently not.
Speaker A
Did you have fun with my son, the impetuous prince? I believe you went on a raid with him.
Speaker A
Um, [groaning] I'm sorry. I suppose I lacked the grandeur of a conventional king. I don't know too many kings.
Speaker A
Colonel Favors. He has already exacted some measure of revenge for the raid. Two women were assaulted by his men.
Speaker A
Um, [snorts and groaning] I'm very sorry about all of this. Yes. Sometimes the correct path, the bravest path is the least obvious and also the gentlest. I'm I'm a great disappointment to my son.
Speaker A
Your son seems to want a war. My son thinks there is glory in death.
Speaker A
Maybe he's right. But for me, I [clears throat] saw death being handed out so freely by the most foolish of men. I never could equate it with victory.
Speaker A
Glory has come in service. Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. I've killed a lot of people for a whole lot of dumb reasons. I ain't never seen much glory in it.
Speaker A
Well, your friend, Mr. Vanderlin, he talks a lot. I don't know him, but my son is easily lit.
Speaker A
I'm not sure I get you. Well, perhaps we could go for a ride. I'm an old man.
Speaker A
My whole life I've tried to bring peace, but I ain't doing so good. Then maybe you can take pity on my plate. Please, it won't take long.
Speaker A
[laughter] Maybe I can help you with that cough. Sir, I'm glad I caught you, sir.
Speaker A
Captain Monroe, do you know my friend, Mr. Morgan? No, sir. I don't have the pleasure.
Speaker A
Officer Morgan, it's an honor, sir. How can I help you, Captain? I was just in Sanden. I spoke with the mayor. It's not good news, I'm afraid.
Speaker A
May I ride with you for a little? Of course. Follow me. So, where are we going? I want to show you a site up in the mountains that's long been sacred to me.
Speaker A
A place for reflection and healing. Yeah. [music] What is this news, Captain Monroe? Yes, sir. As I mentioned, I did speak again with the mayor and the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Sandin at length, but regrettably, it appears the oil company
Speaker A
has already received approval to move forward with drilling on the reservation's land. I suppose there's much. So, what does that mean for us now?
Speaker A
I'm not sure just yet. I didn't get the impression anything would be happening for a few months. I'm very sorry, sir. I did everything I could.
Speaker A
I know, Captain. And I assure you, I will continue to do as much as I can. Mr. Morgan, would you have time to help me at all? I would rather certain actions were taken by friends outside the tribe.
Speaker A
Sure, I can help. That's good news. Thank you. Come meet me on the reservation whenever you can.
Speaker A
Any assistance would be much appreciated, Mr. Morgan. [music] Anyway, gentlemen, I won't take up any more of your time. I'll see you both soon.
Speaker A
Sure. Thank you, Captain. Enjoy the ride. We'll continue on this way. I'm going to look for some herbs to give you.
Speaker A
[music] See the wolves over there feasting on that horse? Brutality and beauty are both all around us. Yet so often we're unable to see past our own grievances.
Speaker A
This is what I try to teach my son. Go on. Get out of here. Good. There was no need to harm them.
Speaker A
Oh, hold down there, girl. We can talk if you want, Mr. Morgan, but don't feel like you have to.
Speaker A
Let's go. Why are you riding off like that? So, you were saying it's a beautiful ride ahead if you need some time to think.
Speaker A
How much you know about Dutch? A little. Mostly what Charles told me for years.
Speaker A
He was the best man I knew. But he's been unraveling for some time now.
Speaker A
And sorry. Uh, hold up a moment. That'll have to wait. Some of the plants I need will be growing down here.
Speaker A
Easy there girl. This is what I was looking for. English mace. Okay, let's continue on.
Speaker A
So, back to what I was talking about. But he's been unraveling for some time now, and I ain't sure there's any going back at this point. It took a long time for me to learn that you could never change a
Speaker A
person. We only become more of who we really are. Perhaps you see that with him, just as I see it with my son. Dutch has got this crazy plan that if we create enough noise and chaos, we'll be able to
Speaker A
escape and go somewhere far away where no one will find us. And I worry a lot of folks going to get caught in the crossfire, including Eagle Flies. So, what can we do? I ain't quite sure.
Speaker A
Just wanted you to know the situation. Thank you, Mr. Morgan. Let me give this some thought.
Speaker A
You know, I had a son once years ago. Don't talk about him much. Oh, what was his name?
Speaker A
Isaac. His mother, Eliza, the waitress I met. Wait, stop here. I want to pick some Jins Singh. We can talk more about this later.
Speaker A
This will combine well. Wait there. I'll put these in your saddle bag. Mix these together.
Speaker A
It tastes awful, but it'll help to keep your strength up. All right, let's go. It's not much further now. So, you were just talking about something. When she got pregnant, she knew who I was, what my life was. I
Speaker A
didn't want to promise nothing I couldn't keep. But I said I'd do right by them. Every few months, I'd stop by there for a few days. He was such a good kid.
Speaker A
She was too, I guess. Just a kid. 19. What happened? I got there one day and saw two crosses outside and I knew right away.
Speaker A
Turned out some bastards had come through, robbed them, shot him dead all for $10.
Speaker A
Harden me feeling that kind of pain. But I know now that you don't get to live a bad life and have good things happen to you. I think you're being hard on yourself.
Speaker A
Maybe. All I can do now is try and make some [music] things right. And that fell Monroe. How you know him?
Speaker A
Captain Monroe was reassigned here from a regiment in the north. Apparently, the news of our conflict has spread all the way to Washington. He's a good man. He wants to help.
Speaker A
Well, I guess that's something. At least the army aren't all bad men, just as my people aren't all good. But this colonel favors. He walks an old line. He's obstinate and he hates Monroe. I just hope between us we [music] can work this
Speaker A
out. [music] It's just up ahead. What's happened? No, it can't be. No, they destroyed everything. No, I need to find the Chinupa. Who Who would do this?
Speaker A
someone who wanted to in Help me look around, please. The Tanupa is gone. Of course. What is it?
Speaker A
A ceremonial pipe. There must be some clues as to what happened here. I cannot believe this.
Speaker A
Sure looks like they was doing some drinking. This is a place of peace. [bell] Whiskey.
Speaker A
Bastards are having a party up here. Over here. Let me give this some more thought.
Speaker A
Thank you, Mr. Morgan. That empty bottle of whiskey. Well, if they drank all that, they couldn't have gotten too far.
Speaker A
Yeah. Well, still no sign of the Chinupa. [bell] Uh, there's some logs here they must have used as kindling.
Speaker A
Quick, Mr. Morgan, there's someone down there. Do you have any binoculars? Oh, there they are. These brave men.
Speaker A
Some of Colonel Favor's men. They must have been the ones who did this. Are you surprised this happened?
Speaker A
Not at all. [snorts] But but I hope we were past this. You got land they want. Land with oil.
Speaker A
They moved us here. They've taken everything we had. I signed three treaties myself and they've broken each one.
Speaker A
Now they've taken the last hope. [snorts] Now my people are going to want a war.
Speaker A
a war they can't win. [sighs and gasps] Not if I get it back. Get it back.
Speaker A
I'm going to go in, get your chin up, but no one will be any wiser.
Speaker A
Would you do that? Well, you can't go. They know why you'd come. I uh don't have any money.
Speaker A
I don't need your money. Please see if they have So, what happened to Captain Monroe?
Speaker A
I heard Old Favors was trying to get a transfer. Don't like him much. He always seemed like a decent enough hell to me.
Speaker A
Exactly. That's the problem. Ro went to West Point. Favors never made it. Yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker A
Engines just seems so silly though. I know. Who wants to fight them? Who cares?
Speaker A
My uncle married an Indian anyway. She seemed nice enough. An Indian? Sure looked like one.
Speaker A
I'm up near the Canadian border someplace. Canada? They got Indians in Canada? Tons of them. And French folk, too.
Speaker A
No. Hey, I heard something. Is France near him then? Something's over here. France is near.
Speaker A
What's that? false alarm. Nothing here. Must be a matching thing. Please tell me you found it.
Speaker A
here. I uh I got your things, I think. Yes. Thank you. I'm very [clears throat] sorry about this.
Speaker A
Even sacred things, our only things. People, the heart matter more. Was anyone hurt? No one was killed.
Speaker A
Well done. Well done. I wish my son knew such restraint. My people owe you a great debt and I'm giving you very little.
Speaker A
But please take this. We believe it to be sacred. Thank you. Thank you. Take those herbs I gave you, please.
Speaker A
And most of all, I hope you can find peace within yourself. [sighs] [music] He's a man who not so long ago I would have found weak and pathetic.
Speaker A
Now I see as wise and thoughtful and sensible. I would love to help him or at least stop Dutch pushing his son to do something real stupid.
Speaker A
Mr. Morgan. Hello. Here I am. As promised. Captain Monroe. Of course. Holding things together. Chief's going out trying to find medications.
Speaker A
It's quite a business. Yes. Thought we were through with all this. Well, we are mostly. Colonel Favor seems to think the natives have broken some promise they never made. And apparently he's punishing them by withholding vaccines sent down by the federal
Speaker A
government. Really? I was supposed to oversee the administration of the vaccines. Now I hear the wagon's been diverted. Why would he do such a thing? To be honest, I truly don't know. They say he didn't have a very good war, so maybe he's
Speaker A
trying to start another one. Is that what you think? I'm trying to find out. And he knows I'm trying to find out. He'd love to provoke me almost as much as he'd love to provoke these poor bastards.
Speaker A
Meaning that despite the fact that I think he's a horse's ass, he knows I think that. So, we're just stuck here trying to make the best of things. This is the best of things.
Speaker A
Children dying of diseases. No, this is awful. Where is this wagon? Where can we find it?
Speaker A
I can show you. Supposed to be heading to Aedia after coming up through Valentine, but it's been diverted south instead.
Speaker A
Come on, Captain Monroe. Mr. Morgan, we must act with due caution. Oh, we shall. We surely shall. Now come.
Speaker A
Okay, I think I know a spot where we should be able to intercept it.
Speaker A
Lead the way, Captain. So, this Colonel Fen, he knows you're up here helping these people.
Speaker A
Yes and no. He knows I'm here to produce a report on the situation. I was sent down from the north after all the news of unrest in the region. But I think my presence might be making things worse.
Speaker A
What do you mean? I worry he's taken some of these actions more to protect himself now. He can incite more retaliation. Maybe he can prove a stronger defense.
Speaker A
Well, like destroying that shrine. Yes. And taking their horses. I mean, I don't know if he personally sanctioned any of this or not. This is the other problem. There's a culture now in his regiment.
Speaker A
The rot has traveled down the trunk. Okay. Well, just show me where to find this wagon and I'll get the medicine for you. You don't need to be involved.
Speaker A
Thank you, Mr. Morgan. But I must ask you, please be discreet. We really cannot afford more conflict. I'm still hoping a meeting can be arranged between Rains Falls [music] and Colonel Favors.
Speaker A
I understand. So, I should drop the wagon back at the reservation. Oh, no, no, no, no. You only need to commandeer the back seat. Stealing those and an army wagon will only make matters much worse.
Speaker A
Okay. You know, Favors has many flaws, but I don't believe he's [music] callous. More an insecure man at the end of his career trying to cling on to something that's already gone. He fought for the Union in the war, and his record was considered
Speaker A
far from illustrious. A failed man is often the most dangerous. All right, this is the spot I was thinking of. Let's cut up this way.
Speaker A
Sure. There's a nice vantage point up at the top here. Okay, let's dismount here. Best leave the horses back a bit. We'll have a good view over the road from this ledge.
Speaker A
The wagon should come along this way. Okay. You're a good man, Mr. Morgan, but I fear this task to be a fool's errand.
Speaker A
Well, firstly, I'm a long way from a good man. Secondly, fool's errands are my favorite kind of work.
Speaker A
Fair enough. In that case, I can see we shall be great friends. May I ask you a question?
Speaker A
Of course. Why don't you just tell all the folk up in Washington what kind of an idiot Colonel Favors is and save us all a lot of bother?
Speaker A
Uh, unfortunately, the government doesn't work quite like that. If you say so. There. I think that's the wagon.
Speaker A
All right, get yourself out of here. Just remember to keep it clean. [music] Understand me?
Speaker A
Don't worry. I'm as clean as they come. Not all I do is clean. Well, good luck. Don't beat your back at the reservation.
Speaker A
Try not to get yourself killed, Mr. [music] Morgan. Well, now I I can't promise.
Speaker A
Come on, girl. Yeah. Whoa. Heat. Hey there, girl. Hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey.
Speaker A
down hey down hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Speaker A
Yeah. Heat. Could [music] he be the one? Captain Monroe, I got the medicine. [music] Ah, wonderful. That's great news, Mr.
Speaker A
Morgan. Yeah, don't worry. It uh it didn't go too bad. I'll have to take your word for that.
Speaker A
We could both swing for this. Yeah, well, [laughter] I think I'm a little past caring about hanging Monroe.
Speaker A
Maybe. I just hope Colonel Favors thinks he was robbed by bandits and not Oh, no. I'm still a bandit. There ain't no doubt about that.
Speaker A
Of course. Well, I better get to work. Thank you, Mr. Morgan. [snorts] Bandit or not, this was a good thing.
Speaker A
Maybe it'll get us both killed, but it had to be done. I hope so.
Speaker A
Josiah, I um I was uh leaving again. Yes, just leaving. I'll see you soon, perhaps.
Speaker A
Uh, what do you mean? Well, if I was you, I'd disappear, too. This is all pretty much over.
Speaker A
I'll be back. No, you won't. Let's not pretend no more. Get out of here.
Speaker A
I'll miss you, Arthur. You've been a fine friend to me. Well, let's not get over sentimental.
Speaker A
Well, the place is quiet. Get out of here. You go with my blessing. Thank you, Arthur.
Speaker A
[sighs and gasps] Found a friend looking for you. Mr. Morgan. Sir, how are you?
Speaker A
A little better. I hope so. How can I help you? I am sorry to impose on you again, but I believe I've made progress brokering peace.
Speaker A
You have? I believe so. Colonel Favors has agreed to a meeting to discuss and maybe resolve his alleged grievances in mine.
Speaker A
Now he has lied to me more times than I care to remember. But maybe this time he must want peace. Why could he possibly want to humiliate us further?
Speaker A
We got words for his kind, but they're colloquial. Perhaps I could make one last request.
Speaker A
My men are not allowed to carry arms. You want us to keep the peace? Yeah, it'll be a lot of dull talking and ceremony, but I feel with some non-tribe members present, their chances of lying or worse will be reduced.
Speaker A
Will you, Arthur? It ain't my business, brother. No, I know, but it is mine.
Speaker A
Do it for me, Charles. I got I've saved your life. Do it for me.
Speaker A
Sure. Come on. You owe this man. You should have him do your negotiations. Let's go.
Speaker A
This way. Watch out. I also have some men. I wasn't sure if you'd be able to help.
Speaker A
Thank you for doing this, both of you. You have already done so much. Ain't a problem. Just hope nobody recognizes me.
Speaker A
I've had a few runins with the army recently. I wish we could have done more to control the situation. Dutch should not have gotten involved.
Speaker A
My son has a mind of his own. too much. So, in fact, I just hope Colonel Favors can be reasoned with. I am not asking for very much, but when our people are sick and hungry and we find our medicine
Speaker A
and supplies are being deliberately withheld, how can we not view that as something personal? When they destroy our sacred sites, how can I convince evil flies and the others that they shouldn't fight back? Maybe that's part of the reason they're doing these
Speaker A
things. Because they want you to fight. You'd be able to say, "Look, you see how these savages behave?" Perhaps.
Speaker A
Thank you for helping Captain Monroe to retrieve those vaccines, Arthur. He will be at the meeting. And as one person who knows the true situation, at least I still have hope that we can come to an agreement.
Speaker A
[music] Oh. Here we are. There's my men up ahead. Hello. Easy. Whoa. This way.
Speaker A
Gear up. Hold it. Did good, girl. Colonel favors. Captain Monroe, we come in peace.
Speaker A
Hello again. Who are these two? They're uh friends of my people. Interesting looking fellows.
Speaker A
Yeah, they won't cause any trouble. Well, I should hope not. Listen, Mr. Chief. Yes. Uh Mr. I can't say that silly name.
Speaker A
Is it? In English they call me Rainsfall. Yes. Yes, I'm I'm sure they do.
Speaker A
Listen, we're all Americans here and we want an outcome. But quite frankly, quite frankly, I I'm confused.
Speaker A
Your men are little more than criminals in my opinion. Keep breaking peace treaties we've made, causing disturbances in everybody's lives.
Speaker A
But I pride myself on being a gentleman. Really, I do. But there are limits.
Speaker A
So, let me be very. [cough] Are you okay, man? Someone Jackson, take him away.
Speaker A
Where was I? You're a gentleman with limits. Are you being facitious, sir? Come this way, buddy. I said, "Are you being facitious, Captain Monroe?" No, sir. I am not.
Speaker A
Chief Reigns. That's uh Rain's fault. Exactly. Chief Reigns. The thing is the federal government.
Speaker A
Sure. That I handle situation. I'll fetch you some water. I'll be fine. Thank you.
Speaker A
No. No. You know, he's going to have Monroe court marshaled or attempt to. He's going to make a disgrace of him.
Speaker A
Monroe? He seems likable enough for a West Pointer. Why? You know what Favors is like? Because he thinks it's right. Because he thinks Monroe is a psy.
Speaker A
He's convinced he had something to do with those vaccines getting stolen. He thinks Monroe is going to force him into making a concession with the Indians. So he removes Monroe.
Speaker A
Removes how? Favors wants him tried for treason and hanged. Why does Favors care about the Indians?
Speaker A
Cuz he doesn't want to back down. His whole professional life. You know what they say about him. Hight tail favors.
Speaker A
The man who missed a battle. Poor Monroe. Kind of liked him. I know. But still, he's kind of stuck up.
Speaker A
Your men violated the treaty. That treaty is null and void. I have been appointed to negotiate.
Speaker A
Feeling better. Yeah. Come on. Let's go. New land. The lands you currently occupy belong to the United States government. Why is this so confusing, sir? Why?
Speaker A
Good day, Colonel Favors. Well, that was remarkably unproductive. I'm afraid the federal [clears throat] government was quite clear, Colonel, that it wanted peace and peace for all, and that the treaty had not been broken by anybody.
Speaker A
Oh, is that so, sir? And did it want impudence, sir, from a junior officer in public? Was that its plan, too, sir? You insult me. You insult the regiment.
Speaker A
Arrest this man. Arrest me. Gross insubordination. Disobeying an order. Treason. Are you mad? You had those vaccines stolen. You disrupted a negotiation.
Speaker A
Let him go. This is all getting out of hand. Hi, Captain Monroe. Let's get out of here.
Speaker A
If I were you, I'd keep my mouth shut. Amigo, I don't want to kill this man, but shall get away with this. Charles, Captain Monroe, mount up now. We're getting out of here.
Speaker A
Time to get out of here. Come on. You son of a [ __ ] Think about what you're doing.
Speaker A
Open fire this way. Come on. Look out behind the fence enough. We can more incoming. [music] Man, please hold your fire. But we'll have you four on the left. Head for the trees.
Speaker A
We're pending. Go find cover and protect the road. Come on. Come on, Captain. Can you shoot?
Speaker A
I can't do it. They're trying to kill you. I swear you What's our plan here. Find a lo and make for the valley.
Speaker A
[music] Just hold. This is insanity. This was meant to be. You're dead. I am sorry, Mr. Morgan. I cannot kill these men. [music] Just winged them. They're trying to surround us.
Speaker A
A [ __ ] They got me. [music] Okay, it's now or never. Let's go.
Speaker A
Captain Monroe, you're on with me. Okay, girl. [music] Hop on, captain. We sure as hell don't want to hang around here. Come on, follow me.
Speaker A
More behind us. I think we're finally in the clear. Everybody okay? Not really. What do we do now?
Speaker A
You get out of here fast. Take you to the station. I can't believe that just happened.
Speaker A
I've been an army man my whole life. I heard them talking. They was going to have you hang for treason. You can't die for those fools.
Speaker A
And what about the chief? We'll do what we can. I guess I won't be submitting my report.
Speaker A
I wouldn't think so. Whoa. [cough] [cough] Get [gasps] out of here, Captain Monroe. I fear it may be Mr. Monroe from now on.
Speaker A
I'm sorry about your career here. Here's some money. You take it and get out of here and start our new life somewhere.
Speaker A
I hear Tahiti is nice. Thank you. Just hop on a train to Sanden, jump on a boat, but avoid Guam.
Speaker A
Where? Forget about her. Meet you back at camp. [cough] Mr. Morgan, are you okay? Well, never better. What are you doing here?
Speaker A
Well, I'm on my way down to Mexico. They're finally sending me on a mission.
Speaker A
Brother Dorkkins is very jealous. [cough and laughter] What's wrong? I'm uh [gasps] I'm dying, sister.
Speaker A
Okay. Well, I got TB. I got it. Beating a man to death for a few bucks.
Speaker A
[sighs] I've lived a bad life, sister. We've all lived bad lives, Mr. Morgan. We all sin.
Speaker A
But I know you. You don't know me. Forgive me, but that's the problem. You don't know you.
Speaker A
What do you mean? I don't know. But whenever we happen to meet you, you're always helping people and smiling.
Speaker A
I had a son. He passed away. I had a girl who loved me. I threw that away. My mama died when I was a kid.
Speaker A
And my Betty, well, I watched him die. It worked soon enough. My husband died a long time ago.
Speaker A
Life is full of pain. But there is also love and beauty. What am I going to do now?
Speaker A
Be grateful that for the first time you see your life clearly. Sure. Perhaps you could help somebody. Helping makes you really happy.
Speaker A
[sighs] But I still don't believe in nothing. Often. Neither do I. Huh? But then I meet someone like you and everything makes sense.
Speaker A
You're too smart for me, sister. I guess I afraid. There is nothing to be afraid of, Mr.
Speaker A
Morgan. Take a gamble that love exists and do a loving act. All aboard. I shall try.
Speaker A
I know you will. Goodbye. Goodbye, Mr. Morgan. Goodbye, sister. Ah, there he is. Old black lung Morgan.
Speaker A
Shut up. Was he followed? Excuse me. Was you followed? You know who you're talking to. I ain't sure. I ain't sure about much no more.
Speaker A
All I know is there's law whenever you're around. Is that so? Because it seems to me that since you've been riding with us, there ain't been nothing but trouble. Stirring things up all the time, getting in Dutch's ear. Seems wherever you is,
Speaker A
there's pink attention. Vice versa. So you better watch your goddamn mouth, boy. Or [cough] take [laughter] it easy, cowboy. You're going to do yourself a mischief. Weigh your head. Micah, shut it. He started it. Dutch says we is to go on with plans
Speaker A
to create a diversion. We got to get some explosives to blow up the bridge.
Speaker A
Keep the army out of here a few days. I think it's a real bad idea.
Speaker A
I don't think Dutch cares too much. What you think? That's clear. We got to confuse him one last time.
Speaker A
Then he and I will head to Blackwater, collect the money, and help everyone leave. He's got a boat lined up. Back wall is a fool's errand. Everyone knows it. Even a greedy [ __ ] like you.
Speaker A
It's Dutch's choice, Arthur. You're just a senior gun. Same as the rest of us.
Speaker A
Only you ain't. Well, I'm fine. Then you'll do Dutch's bidden, which is robbing a stage that's coming from Andesburg full of explosives.
Speaker A
Rob a stage? All we seem to ever do is rob a stage, you and me.
Speaker A
Not me. You two. I got my own planning to do. You boys got this [ __ ] Well, guess we have. Come on, Arthur and Cowpoke and take it easy. You could do with a vacation. H.
Speaker A
[snorts] All right, let's go. Have fun, boys. Micah says we should jump it as soon as it comes through Van Horn.
Speaker A
So you're taking orders from him now? I'm taking orders from Dutch. Same as always.
Speaker A
The pair of them are becoming unhinged. You hear about Dutch killing Cornwall? Well, that needed to be done.
Speaker A
Hey, hold up a second. Pinkerton patrol over there. Okay, I think we're clear. Let's head off. So, you was just talking about something right now with the Pinkerton's breathing down our necks. See, I'm starting to think that you've gone soft, Morgan.
Speaker A
[music] [music] Okay, let's hold up here. So, the wagon will be coming from that way down from Annisburg.
Speaker A
It'll take the two of us to stop it completely or it'll never get done. So, I was thinking you go play dead and I'll take care of them.
Speaker A
No. I'm the better shot and you you're the better actor. No, you play dead and I'll cover you.
Speaker A
I got that. I got that. Oh, that's them coming now. I think it'll be quite the show.
Speaker A
Come on, you [ __ ] bastard. There. Go moving. Come on. You can displace these people. Move. You idiot. Move.
Speaker A
Come on, let's get you out of here. No way out of this. [music] Come on, Arthur. Quick. Let's get this [music] All right, let's see if we can get this back to camp without blowing ourselves up.
Speaker A
Nice shooting back there. Drunk comes naturally. I could use a drink after that. I know it just never goes easy no more, does it?
Speaker A
Oh [ __ ] Deal with the marker. Okay, I'm trying quick and get off one good shot and I'll blow his boat to kingdom come. I thought there was no law in Van. Does that really matter right now, Bill?
Speaker A
Still more behind us. You need to take him out, Arthur. Son of a [ __ ] I'm all right, Arthur.
Speaker A
[music] on this. We're laying our right hand. What do you think I'm doing? Okay, I don't see any more. All right.
Speaker A
Oh, that was close. Don't reckon I'm cut out to be a dynamite wagon driver.
Speaker A
Killing a bunch of folks so we can rob some dynamite to blow up a bridge.
Speaker A
This make any sense to you? It's a distraction, so it ain't meant to make sense.
Speaker A
It should to us. It's our plan. You know, I've had it with the moment.
Speaker A
Look, there's Micah up ahead. Great. Whoa. So, you got it. We got it. Yes, we got it.
Speaker A
What's wrong, Arthur? Nothing at all, boss. John, go drive this over to Bacas Bridge. Get a hidden ear there.
Speaker A
He really does think he's in charge. You go on ahead. I need to speak with Arthur. Good work, son.
Speaker A
What's going on? Listen, I know we ain't always seen eye to eye and uh you find me irritating and a threat and I like to annoy you, but right now I need better from you, Arthur.
Speaker A
Okay, Micah. Whatever you say. I ain't the bad guy you think I am, Arthur, but I am a survivor. Stick with me and you'll live. Oh, the bridge is probably a twoman job. You should probably go help Marston.
Speaker A
Why don't you? Like I said, Dutch and I got planning to do for the train. There's a big picture here, Arthur. Trust me.
Speaker A
Don't you worry about me. There you are. Here I am. Come on, let's go.
Speaker A
Let's go where? And why are you so riled up? Today is a great day, Arthur. Today is the day they are going to hang Cole O'Driscoll. That's so either they hang him or I shoot him.
Speaker A
Oh, they are going to hang him. Yeah, and not before time. That boy's been on the gallows more than most. I wouldn't count anything until his neck's broke. Well, nor would I.
Speaker A
Which is why, despite us being wanted men, we're going to attend the event ourselves and follow him onto the scaffold.
Speaker A
Well, let's hope not. But if I could see that son of a [ __ ] breathe his last, I think I'd die a happy man. We are going to disguise ourselves in this. In this Okay, come on.
Speaker A
Well, don't we just look the part? We'll cut through the alley to get to the gallows. We keep our weapons holstered, our disguises on, and our wits about us. Mrs. Adler, might I say, being a fancy woman of sand
Speaker A
shoots you. I'd dress up like the Queen of Sheba if it meant seeing that son of a [ __ ] swing. Colem hung me up. Nearly butchered me. And that don't mean I'm comfortable in this woolen coat.
Speaker A
You made it out of that predicament as I remember. Mr. Morgan. My husband weren't so lucky.
Speaker A
You lost your husband. I lost my darling Annabelle. That poor boy Kieran. We've all lost something because of Comb.
Speaker A
[music] And that is why we will shepherd him to eternity. Amen to that. Now, keep those fingers off those triggers, cuz we'll need cool heads and calm dispositions to see this done.
Speaker A
Practice what you preach, brother. Whatever do you mean? Are you going to keep your cool? Really, when you seem to lose it all so often now. This doubting and questioning of yours. I miss the old earth. Don't we all?
Speaker A
You two quit it. Y'all got a job to do and we're all in rough agreement about how we're doing it. As far as I can tell, exactly. We'll get it done. All right.
Speaker A
All right, then. Come on. We got a hanging to witness. Look here. Don't the public love an execution?
Speaker A
Hey. All right. Good. Now, you see that pair of [ __ ] Sure. They're Comb's boys.
Speaker A
Yes, I think so. What a surprise. I'm glad we're here. [snorts] What are they pointing at?
Speaker A
I don't know. We got to follow them to find out. Yeah. Oh, here comes something, buddy.
Speaker A
Stay here. Don't do nothing. Go brush that horse, officer. Yes, sir. The crowd came to see a show. We don't want to disappoint them. I guess they did miss their chance to see John swing by his neck.
Speaker A
Hey, hey, you know I wasn't going to let it come to that. I guess I don't know what I know no more.
Speaker A
And I guess this isn't the time to question either my decisions or yours. Here and now, Cole O'Driscoll's going to get his duel. He's turned down there.
Speaker A
Yeah. Oh, not too bad. Let's go. Quiet. What's it look like? Bunch of cops.
Speaker A
How many? Enough. So, what do you think? Paul's up on the roof. Once he starts shooting, we have to have our wits about us and move fast.
Speaker A
Yeah, I guess we faced worse than this before. Sure. Let's get to it. Yeah.
Speaker A
So, they got a guy up on the roof overlooking the gallows. Find a way up there onto one of these verandas through a building maybe and get him and do it silently. Well, obviously I'm going to do it silent. They all want to see this
Speaker A
bastard swing. Oh, Arthur, there's a ladder. Find a way up to the roof and stop him.
Speaker A
I'll go back to Mrs. Adler. Where are you? Heat. Heat. Well [music] what we got here?
Speaker A
[music] Look at you. [groaning] You're skinnier than I thought you'd be. As long as any of us can remember, it is justice that separates us from now.
Speaker A
Huh? Well, yet justice. There goes your escape plan. Be barbaric. For sometimes a man is so savage, the only way to deal with him justly is by savagery.
Speaker A
Colem O'Driscoll is one such man. He has murdered, tortured, robbed, stolen, and abused for a decade across five states, seemingly with impunity.
Speaker A
Today, justice catches up with him. [laughter] As well, you may. I've been a bad man.
Speaker A
Silence. These charges. This is not a court where you shall be tried. This is a place where your sentence is to be carried out and your sentence [music] coleris is that you are to be hanged by the neck until you are dead. This is not
Speaker A
a task we take lightly. It is not a task we enjoy, but it is a task we must carry out if our civilization is to prosper.
Speaker A
Gentlemen, Are we ready? Call Modrisco. May God in his infinite wisdom have mercy upon your soul.
Speaker A
Whenever you are ready. Now you know how it feels to watch somebody you love die.
Speaker A
You ruined my life. [ __ ] Okay, let's Morgan, you hear us? Take a shot on these pistols.
Speaker A
Go away. I hear you. [music] Yeah. [music] Heat. [music] We're going. [music] Well, we got him.
Speaker A
Let's just get out of here. Go. [music] How you get on, Arthur? Well, and we saw the bastard hang. Okay. But whole thing ain't going to save us.
Speaker A
I guess that's one less thing to worry about. I guess compared to the entire government in the end, KODriscoll didn't seem like such a worry.
Speaker A
A letter came for you. Oh, okay. I know it's from that Mary. Mary, she ain't worth it. Arthur, who is?
Speaker A
My dear Arthur, you never showed up. And now, after looking at the newspapers, I understand why. I don't imagine you'll receive this letter, but I nonetheless must send it. Arthur.
Speaker A
Oh Arthur. I was just starting to dream the silliest and softest of dreams. I miss you, and I will always miss you, but I cannot live like that. And it seems you cannot live any other way.
Speaker A
When I'm with you, the world makes sense. But when we are apart, I see clearly that your world is not a world from which one can escape.
Speaker A
I'm so sorry for everything. For everything long ago and for starting up that business again.
Speaker A
There's a good man within you, Arthur, but he is wrestling with a giant. And the giant wins time and again.
Speaker A
You've broken my heart again. And I fear I have broken yours. And for that, I will never forgive myself. But you must let me go now. I enclose a ring you gave me many years ago when we were both young. Not because
Speaker A
I don't like it, but because I care for it far too much. And it reminds me too much of you.
Speaker A
I hope one day you will find some people in love who can use this. for it kept me thinking of you all these years. And I hope by returning it to you, I can finally be free. Goodbye, Mary.
Speaker A
Oh [ __ ] Arthur, how you doing? Nervous, but I've been nervous for a while. I had a lot of time to think in that jail and feel like I just don't know Dutch no more.
Speaker A
You ain't the only one. And this plan to get us out, it just feels I don't know.
Speaker A
Like he's stringing us along. I know. [snorts] Killing in cold blood, revenge. We all do bad things, but he seems to enjoy it now. It's like he just wants to create more enemies, more chaos.
Speaker A
Yeah, I know. I mean, I love Dutch. He saved me a long time ago. Feel like in Sanden when I got arrested, maybe he could have done something.
Speaker A
I feel like you should take your woman and child and get lost. Do you?
Speaker A
You can you could give something to Jack. It's that or Well, I don't see no way out of this.
Speaker A
What about loyalty? Be loyal to what matters. What are you going to do? I'll be okay, but do it for me. It would make me feel good if that makes any sense.
Speaker A
A little, but listen to me. When the time comes, you got to run and don't look back.
Speaker A
This is over. And now, now we've got to help Dutch give the army one final tweak on its nose.
Speaker A
Yeah. Come on. Help me with the rest of this. Well, it looks like we finally found our calling in life.
Speaker A
Let's ride this thing out onto the bridge. There's a spot about a third of the way across where we can get down underneath to plant the charges. I've already set up the detonator.
Speaker A
Sure. Let's get this over with. You hear about Dutch and Cornwall? Yeah, this is what I'm talking about.
Speaker A
More enemies, more chaos. I mean, we're about to blow up a bridge for Christ's sake.
Speaker A
All right, stop. Here's good. We sure got a lot of this stuff. We'll need it.
Speaker A
I'll climb down there. You lower the crates. All right. Let me know when you're ready.
Speaker A
Got it. Ready when you are. I'm at the bottom of the ladder here to your left.
Speaker A
There's good. Lower it down. Okay, start lowering it down. All right, take it slow. That's not something we Okay good.
Speaker A
Grab the other one. Just like last time. Come on. Nice and easy. Got it.
Speaker A
All right. Come down here and help me plant this stuff. Okay. Grab yourself a bundle from the box.
Speaker A
The bridge is wired to the detonator. We need to attach each of those bundles to the fuses. There's one on each of the main support beams.
Speaker A
Okay. I sure hope this is enough to blow it. These are mining charges. They ain't easy to come by. If they don't do the job, nothing will.
Speaker A
So, why exactly are we doing this? Dutch wants a distraction. Something to buy us some time, pull some attention off of us. And we found out Cornwall's company got a contract with the army. So I think Dutch figures after this.
Speaker A
[music] Okay, I should go get the hand cart ready. You okay to finish off down here?
Speaker A
Sure, go on. I can handle the rest. I'll see you up there. This better work.
Speaker A
out here. [music] [music] [ __ ] Crane. Arthur, get up here quick. Faster, buddy. Come on.
Speaker A
[ __ ] Arthur, the train. Come on. Quick. Pump this stupid thing hard as you can.
Speaker A
Let's go. Let's go. Just get to the end of the bridge. [music] Get ready to jump. It's right on.
Speaker A
Thank you. No problem. That just ain't how I want to die. [snorts] Come on, [sighs] let's go blow this thing up.
Speaker A
Um, I think the line held. You want the honors? Sure. Well, I guess old Dutch got all the smoke he wants.
Speaker A
Let's hope so. You really think that that'll draw attention away from us? I guess we'll see. Tell the truth.
Speaker A
I ain't even sure I fully understand Dutch's plan with all this. Like I said, John, when the time comes, you go. What about loyalty to to everything? You've been loyal. I've been loyal. Look what that caused. You know,
Speaker A
all that ever mattered to me was loyalty. It's all I knew. It's all I ever believed in.
Speaker A
Well, not anymore, John. Soon you got to go. Go. Don't look back. I'll think about it. I've done a lot of thinking.
Speaker A
Look at us out here risking our necks and for what exactly? For an idea that don't work no more.
Speaker A
What do you mean? You know just what I mean. You got a family. You need cash. You need to start building a life for yourself.
Speaker A
Me? I need a vacation. And Dutch has all the money for safekeeping. You know something?
Speaker A
Abigail thinks she might know where some of that money is. Well, you tell her she better make sure and then come talk to me and we'll find out just who and what we should be loyal to.
Speaker A
I [sighs and gasps] I don't know, Arthur. Nor do I, but I'm seeing things a lot more clearly now.
Speaker A
I wish things were different. But it weren't us who changed. Yeah. [sighs] [sighs] [snorts] [cough and clears throat] So good of you to join us.
Speaker A
What's going on? Rebellion. The smell of cordite and integrity. It is a beautiful thing.
Speaker A
What are y'all doing? An eye for an eye. We didn't start this, Arthur. They did.
Speaker A
We This ain't our fight. It surely is. Whatever it is you're planning, it ain't a good idea. They want you to fight.
Speaker A
Nobody will be killed. We're just going to trap a few of them in the valley, disarm them, tar and feather them, and remind them to leave these boys alone.
Speaker A
You have energy for Frank. Come on, Arthur. Just tweaking Uncle Sam's nose a little. I need you to help me.
Speaker A
Besides, it's perfect. People will see these boys. They won't notice us, and they'll think we're gone. Everyone will blame everything on the Indian problem, and we'll disappear up the river. But first, we need to trap them in this
Speaker A
pass. Help me, dynamite. get up these trees. So, you're using them? No, sir. No, never.
Speaker A
But it is mutually beneficial to draw attention to one problem and avail another. These are good people, but their situation is real complex. We ain't helping them.
Speaker A
Sure we are. Come on, let's get this done. We don't have a lot of time. The patrol should be coming in a few minutes.
Speaker A
Okay, hurry, Arthur. I'll plant the dynamite. You run the wire. We'll keep lookout from up here.
Speaker A
I sent for some of that dynamite. You and Bill commoneandeered in Van Horn. Good work with that. By the way, Bill played drunk. The perfect man for the job.
Speaker A
So, you finally got to see comb hang. Yeah, after all those years. Hard to believe.
Speaker A
Oh, but it was worth the wait. See, we're tying up the loose ends, Arthur.
Speaker A
One by one. I think that should do it. Come on now. Quick, get back up here.
Speaker A
Okay, let's go, Arthur. Hurry. I think I see some movement in the distance. Over here, Arthur.
Speaker A
My spotter will let us know when they're near. They're coming now. Ah damn. Patrol's a lot larger than we thought it was going to be.
Speaker A
Don't worry. That's a good thing. Okay, that's the signal. Here they come. Stay low and quiet.
Speaker A
You sure you don't want me to man that plunger Arthur? No. I got it. Oh, remove the weight of the world from your shoulders for a minute. Like I said, we're just going to give them a bit of a scare.
Speaker A
There they are. Looks like more than we thought. It's fine. We're only here to talk and administer a little good oldfashioned humiliation.
Speaker A
You're owed that, son. At the very least. Wait for my lead, men. Everyone, just stay calm. We've got the upper hand here.
Speaker A
Okay, they've passed the first charge. If we blow, put your hands up. You're surrounded.
Speaker A
Nobody need get hurt. Your humiliation of us has gone on quite enough. This ain't a good idea.
Speaker A
Put down your guns. You are making a mistake, boy. No, you're making a mistake. Put your hands up, soldier. Take a little humiliation and leave these fine folks alone.
Speaker A
Who are you? A concerned citizen. Is that self? What now? We should move. No, no, no, no. Not quite yet.
Speaker A
Soldier, you and your friends going to tuck tail and run off? Run. Excuse me.
Speaker A
I'm getting bored of this. Your friends fired first, soldier. Father won't be happy about this. They fired first, son. What you want?
Speaker A
There's another patrol in the rear. There boys. Watch your head. You will kill you all if that's what it takes.
Speaker A
Goddamn. Look out. Take them down. Take them down. This you fools. You damn fools. It's the army. It is one regimen of pastry chefs and bullies. Watch your goddamn mouth. All of you. Take what you can and then we
Speaker A
move out. Move now. We have to move now. Search these men quickly, then we move.
Speaker A
This is crazy. Why aren't we getting out of here? They might have information on them that'll help our friends with their cause.
Speaker A
We need anything my father can use to strengthen our case. I ain't sure much is going to strengthen your case after this.
Speaker A
Find anything? Yes. Some poor fool from New Jersey. These boys ain't the problem. They're only kids. Keep looking.
Speaker A
Shut up. Everyone, keep your heads down. We're going to get out of this. You want to fight for me?
Speaker A
Hey, are you all right? I don't think so. Don't pay for that. You're still here.
Speaker A
These are the last second we are here. This is a lot of men. Just surrender and they'll hang you all.
Speaker A
Try to blame them, Arthur. We'll shoot you some space. Yes. We need a Get your hell.
Speaker A
[music] Where's Pa? Well, they're sending riders from the fort. We need to leave. But where's Pa? Was he killed? He's alive.
Speaker A
Well, that went just about according to plan. I'm trying. I'm trying, Arthur, with everything I have. And I will keep trying and you'll keep doubting me and we'll keep failing.
Speaker A
It ain't like that, Dutch. Look at me. Look at me. I'm just I'm worried about folk.
Speaker A
I know. I We should go. Where's Eagle [music] Flash? Run, son. [screaming] Run. Come on. This area is going to be crawling with soldiers in a few minutes.
Speaker A
We got to leave now. What about Eagle Flies? We got to go, Arthur. Come on.
Speaker A
We need to ride hard. Stay with me. Left here into the trees. Okay, let's dismount here. We won't get the horses down this path.
Speaker A
All right, let's carry on by foot and try and sell them a little snake oil.
Speaker A
You think it's all I got? Get out of here. Yeah. Let's see if we can lose him down here.
Speaker A
Go to hell. I guess not. Get behind something. Arthur. [music] You don't know who you're dealing with.
Speaker A
Come on. Let's see if there's a way out through here. [music] More on the left.
Speaker A
This is getting Let's keep going. Follow the path. It's got to spit us out somewhere behind us. Hold them off.
Speaker A
We can hold out. Okay. I see. There's too many. Fall back. I'll hold them here.
Speaker A
This this is it. This Well, Arthur, put your hands up. I said put your damn hands up.
Speaker A
Okay. Okay. Follow my lead. I got a plan. This is a good one. Hello, officers.
Speaker A
You keep them hands up and come here. Put your hands up. Hello, Captain. Keep your hands up and come here.
Speaker A
Come here. We uh we can't do that. Your man, those men they killed, they were good men.
Speaker A
You're fighting nature, Captain. Get over here. Ask my friend here. My whole life I tried to fight change.
Speaker A
It's a waste. I see that now. It's a waste. We can't fight nature, Captain.
Speaker A
We can't fight change. You can't fight gravity. [groaning and screaming] Where are we? We're almost free.
Speaker A
Come on. Take my hand. Come here, big boy. I got you. You're okay. You're okay.
Speaker A
What a mess. I know, but a mess is what we need. Oh, we just escaped from chaos. Eagle flies must have been taken.
Speaker A
Taken or killed? Well, we can't go find out. No, not now. Charles, I'll we'll send him. Where is he?
Speaker A
He's probably back at Kale. Let's split up. I'll go tell him. You rest up, then go meet him up at the reservation. We are going to make it, brother. I can feel it.
Speaker A
Faith Arthur. Have faith. [music] [music] [music] Get out. Get out. Arthur. Hello, Charles. Thank you for coming.
Speaker A
Of course. the chief. He's uh he's very Maybe you could speak to him. Yes, that's why I came.
Speaker A
He's in his tent. Chill. I'll wait for you here. Hello. Come in, [clears throat] Mr. Morgan.
Speaker A
I'm so glad you could make it. How are you? My son. My son is foolish, but he's still my son.
Speaker A
I know your son a little. He's very brave, very angry. He's mean. How is your father?
Speaker A
He's dead a long time. I lived a lot longer than was good for any of us.
Speaker A
My son probably wishes the same to me. I doubt that. I want peace. I need my people to be safe. All my life I've tried to bring peace.
Speaker A
But I love my son. They'll hang him for treason. Treason. He is the chief son of a proud nation. How could he commit treason? And people who have lied to my people for a hundred years or more.
Speaker A
That's treason. Well, what should I do? I don't think there's much chance reasoning with Colonel Favor.
Speaker A
No. And any chance we had your friend, Mr. Vanderland, has ensured relations between us and the army are worse than any point in the last 5 years. I'm sure he means well, but matters are more complex than he understands.
Speaker A
Me and Charles will try and rescue your son. No. Yes. Yes. I ain't got much to lose.
Speaker A
And you got I'm doing this. Charles, where are you? Come on. Let's go. We need to get his son back, of course.
Speaker A
I just ain't sure how. I've been working on that. I think there's a way. Follow me.
Speaker A
So, I've been scouting the fort. The army are patrolling all the main roads and bridges in and out. But if we can get the horses across the river, I found a route that should get us in fairly close. If we wait until late enough,
Speaker A
there's a place we should be able to sneak in around the back. Okay, whatever you think. I trust you.
Speaker A
No guns, just knives and arrows. If we start making a lot of noise, he'll be dead before we get close to him.
Speaker A
Okay. I left two canoes down river in case we need another way out of there.
Speaker A
Okay good. You know, this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Dutch. It ain't just on Dutch. We all went along with it.
Speaker A
He saw Eagle Flies burned hot and he fanned the flames. [music] He's not helping that tribe. He's helping himself. You see that? Or you wouldn't have gone to Rain's Fall behind his back.
Speaker A
I guess I just keep thinking there must be a way to save the situation. Pull Dutch out of the place he's in.
Speaker A
Well, I like Rainsfall. I don't know, Arthur. Rainsfall is in a tough situation. And as for Dutch, I got [sighs] to try. I own that at least.
Speaker A
You feel that? There's rain on the wind. I know. Listen Charles if it goes bad in there, you get yourself out. You got more to lose. No.
Speaker A
Come on. Don't start talking like that. Uh, I didn't tell you before, but you saw a doctor.
Speaker A
It's pretty bad, but it's going to get worse. Oh, Arthur. Any day we can die.
Speaker A
We're riding to break an Indian chief's son out of a cavalry fort. We could both die tonight. In a way, it is a gift to know. In a way, you were lucky.
Speaker A
Sure don't feel like that. You still have time to make amends. The others, Josea, Lenny, Shawn, all them, they didn't. And what about the calendar boys? Both killed trying to escape Blackwater. A more vicious pair of bastards than ever was. And that's all
Speaker A
they ever were and will be. Maybe you're lucky. You got the chance to to do something better. My guess is maybe that's why you're here now. Either way, just keep your head strong. We're close now.
Speaker A
Are you all right? I think so. That current's strong up here. Follow me. You were right about the damn rain.
Speaker A
Mhm. Yeah, but might help us with sneaking in there. It's okay, girl. Just a stretch. The rainfall told me there was some retaliation after the meeting with Colonel Favors. Some women were taken.
Speaker A
Elders beaten. Bastards. Yeah, this isn't going to be nice. There it is. All right, this should be fun.
Speaker A
Let's get ourselves hidden and wait till it gets dark over here. I guess this is it.
Speaker A
I guess it is. Let's keep quiet and try and find a way in. Main thing is that they don't hear us. Ready?
Speaker A
Patrol group. Hopefully we'll be in and out before they can come back around. Let's deal with those two at the gate first. You take one, I'll take the other. Good. Let's make our way around the back. Stick to the wall.
Speaker A
Careful. There's a guard up there. Okay, let's go. Okay, come on. Slow. Shh. Wait.
Speaker A
Two more. One in the tower, one on the ground. Same as before. You dig one.
Speaker A
Good. It's a bit further on here. This is the spot. Heat. Heat. There's a guard coming.
Speaker A
Let's move. Another one up ahead. Move. Careful. Two more. One each again. Good work. Come on.
Speaker A
Wait, I'll make sure the tower's clear. Sh. Come on. We're good. All right. Good.
Speaker A
The jail should be just down here. I'll never get past these guards. Get up that tower and try to distract them.
Speaker A
Try to put an arrow into the lantern above that stack of wood over there.
Speaker A
Start a fire. Fire. We got to fire near the ammo. Let's go. Let's go.
Speaker A
Come on. Get down here. [music] Do something. Just in here. Not funny. Why you Arthur Morgan.
Speaker A
Charles, is that you? Look for the keys. You have to get me out of here.
Speaker A
We're going to get you out. I'll check the table. Arthur, you search the body.
Speaker A
Got him. Come on. Your father sent us. My father? He told you to come and kill guards?
Speaker A
No, he didn't say that, did he? Of course not. You okay? Sure. I enjoy being tortured. Clears the mind.
Speaker A
If you say so. I'm fine. I'm fine. [crying] Damn it. Time to shoot our way out.
Speaker A
You must be out of your mind. Let's push up. You've done more than ahead.
Speaker A
Watch out for some of the towers. Watch out. [music] [music] Watch yourselves. More up ahead.
Speaker A
Oh, [music] was broken when it took. [music] No, it's been sealed back up. Arthur, deal with this, would you?
Speaker A
Yes, but how? [music] Come on, let's use last thing. [music] Come on, girl. Here. Come on. Get on.
Speaker A
I got you. This way. Come on. Hit some canoes down by the river. I got your place in hell.
Speaker A
[ __ ] We that company behind us on the road on the left ahead of us. Quick down this way.
Speaker A
The canoes are close. We have to get rid of them. Arthur, you deal with them. I'll get the boats ready. Get on the ground. Let's go. Come on.
Speaker A
Hey, get in here. Thank you, friend. [music] Let's get down the river as quick as we can. They'll pay for this. They'll wish they killed me when they had a chance.
Speaker A
Let's just give you a safety first, my friend. It's like Dutch said they only have power to move around the turret. Look out on the shore.
Speaker A
They're coming after us. This is some swell. Watch yourself. One of us going in. Believe me, that's enough.
Speaker A
Believe me, that ain't my plan. Fine. Give me a gun. I can help. Just keep Look out.
Speaker A
We just need to keep going. [ __ ] [screaming] We need to get as far away from the port as possible.
Speaker A
I don't see any more of them. They won't give up easily. Stay ready. No, I was wrong. Two more on the left.
Speaker A
Don't kill the horses. We can use them to ride out of here. I don't see any more of them. Let's get over to the shore.
Speaker A
I think we lost him. Come on. You okay, Arthur? Yeah, I'm right as ready. How are you?
Speaker A
I'll be fine in a day or so. I heal fast. Colonel Favors won't be too happy with your rescue.
Speaker A
I guess not. Yeah, there's going to be a lot more trouble. My father, even he may have to fight.
Speaker A
You won't win. No big fight with them. Shouldn't you all just run away? Where would we go? I don't know. I'm fine. Let me take you back to your father.
Speaker A
Thank you. I'll make you Mrs. You okay? Fi, you sure? No, I ain't sure.
Speaker A
You still working? Is anybody still working? The whole goddamn place full of people bickering, fighting, and lying. Makes me real sad.
Speaker A
I know. I need someone to ride with me. Do what? Finish off them O'Driscolls. [music] I hear the last of them is holed up at Hanging Dog Ranch.
Speaker A
I don't have it in me no more. I saw Cole swing. I I just don't care.
Speaker A
I was a married woman. You know what they did to me and to my [music] husband?
Speaker A
You're the only one of these fools that I trust. I've got to do this.
Speaker A
I'll tell you what, I'll do it. But there's something you could help me with. Abigail, Jack, John, make sure they [snorts] make it. I mean, this whole thing is pretty much done. But when the time comes, or how do you mean?
Speaker A
When the time comes, you help them. What do you mean? I mean, help them escape. when I [sighs] you know you and me we're more ghosts than people but them [clears throat] they they could I know.
Speaker A
Of course I will. Thank you, Arthur. You want to ride with me now or meet me up at Hanging Dog Ranch when you can?
Speaker A
Thanks Arthur. Okay. Come on. [music] [music] [snorts] find more for killing. Hi. You seen anything down there?
Speaker A
Yeah, I think there's a bunch of them down there. I'm mostly drunk. But one of them is a fat fella with a beard. Him, he's mine.
Speaker A
Okay. [snorts] It's a big ranch, run down, lots of folk there, but spread. I'll set it off and then we'll we'll take it from there.
Speaker A
Take it from there. Okay. So, no real plan then. Oh, I got a plan now. Come on.
Speaker A
I know that woman. She was with Dutch. Count. Let's do [music] [screaming] There's a shout shooter in the hock.
Speaker A
I'm trying to get around him. He's dead. Hold. We don't got no war with you. It's over now.
Speaker A
God damn it. You're dead. Take the other. We was good people. [music] Just shoot [music] her. I don't care what she is. Shoot her.
Speaker A
Okay, you take the barn, I'll take the farmhouse. And remember, if he's fat and he's got a beard, he's mine.
Speaker A
I'll try. You want us, you come on. The lady outside don't want none of you coming out of here windowing your stom's [music] clear.
Speaker A
Okay. Go into the farmhouse. Say you in here. [music] You okay? [snorts] Yeah, he was a good man, my Jakey.
Speaker A
[sighs] [gasps] We was always sweet on one another. I'm sure [clears throat] I miss him every day, every moment.
Speaker A
They turn me into a monster, Arthur. But my memories of him, they [laughter and sighs] still pure.
Speaker A
No [snorts] I ain't even got that. [snorts] Aside from my Jake, you're the best man I've known. [sighs] I know the company you keep. The competition ain't too fierce.
Speaker A
[clears throat] We [snorts] uh we should get away from here. [sighs] [snorts] I think I need to be alone for a bit.
Speaker A
I understand you. Um, [snorts] I want to get yourself cleaned up. Thank you, Arthur.
Speaker A
[sighs] [snorts] So, why are these two still here? Old pals and mic. They're getting real comfortable. We need guns for what's coming. Cat and Joe know how to fight.
Speaker A
It's lucky I bumped into him. What is going on, Dutch? What is happening to us? What's happening to you?
Speaker A
You show him some respect. Excuse me. Mr. Vanderlin, Mr. Morgan, Charles, they tried to kill my people for oil. For oil. Today we ride once more. Ride with me. Ride with us. Ride with us against the factory.
Speaker A
I love your courage, son. It is a thing of great beauty. Stop. Everyone stop.
Speaker A
My son. My last son. Don't. When I was your age, I fought. I saw death. I have killed. The men I knew were slain.
Speaker A
My first born, your brother, had his head smashed by a drunken soldier. My wife had her throat slit.
Speaker A
I made peace. I knew not to trust. Yet, I had no choice. Maybe you were right. Maybe the slow death is worse than the fast one.
Speaker A
Maybe none of these men are good. Maybe a world in which they came to us is a world that we cannot endure.
Speaker A
But endure we must. Father, you are tired. Do not die for pride, my son. We have suffered too much in this trick. The earth, the water, they have no pride.
Speaker A
They endure and we must endure. My only boy, my precious boy. Do not mistake my strength for weakness as your chief. I implore you.
Speaker A
Your words mean nothing to me. Father, don't run with me. [screaming] Stop. Please stop.
Speaker A
Please, Mr. Morgan, have to help me after we spoke. This is just a trap.
Speaker A
My son, my people will all die. You help this fellow, Arthur. Please. What of it?
Speaker A
What else you've been doing behind Dutch's back? What? The wars are over. We have lost.
Speaker A
These young men will be annihilated. Please. I'll see what I can do. Charles, who else will come with me?
Speaker A
Oh, I'll ride, Arthur. Who knows what other secrets I'll learn about. Who else? I will.
Speaker A
And me. Me, too. And me, I guess. All right, let's ride out. What else have you been doing behind my back Arthur?
Speaker A
I was trying to stop this mess from getting any worse. You think that didn't work?
Speaker A
Why the hell would they attack the oil fields? What do you mean? It's perfect.
Speaker A
This was your idea. Partly, the army, the government, the industrialists, they've taken everything from these people. Wouldn't you want to fight back?
Speaker A
You've handed them a death sentence. Just like John if we hadn't got him out of that prison.
Speaker A
Hey, show some goddamn respect. You'll know when I ain't showing respect Bill. I had a plan. I still have a plan. What plan?
Speaker A
What godamn plan? Dutch Tahiti Timbuktu. That's enough. What's wrong with you all? What happened to loyalty?
Speaker A
Yeah, what did? Thank you, Javier Bill. Right now, it doesn't matter how we got here. These men need our help. I have a plan. This is the plan. So, either stick with me or cut loose because I am tired of this
Speaker A
constant dissent. Long tired of it. Now, come on. [music] Look up ahead. It's one of them. Are you all right, son?
Speaker A
Eagle flies. He needs help. They all need help. Quick, somebody help him. No. Go. Please hurry. I'll be Come on. Yeeha.
Speaker A
It's a massacre. We got to help these men. Anyone see eagle flies? There. Going across the walkway.
Speaker A
Got what you wanted. Dutch, you coming, Arthur? I'm going to try and save him.
Speaker A
This fight is unwinable. You go and distract them and let me get to him.
Speaker A
Have it your way. The rest of you ride with me. Let's meet up at the factory.
Speaker A
Let's ride. Go. Try out there. I'm better off alone. We're riding with you. Come on then.
Speaker A
That's right. I'm down the horses. We need to get the evil bus. Come on.
Speaker A
Let's find that cow. Look out there. Goddamn murderers. That was killing [music] [ __ ] Let's get over the bridge.
Speaker A
Quick, let's get across the bridge. [music] Arthur, get up. Thank you. All of you.
Speaker A
We need to go. Where are my men? Where are my men? We saw some fighting by the factory. That's where Dutch is gone.
Speaker A
Let's go quick. Any men we see, we must save them. Let's find the others. We need to get to the factory.
Speaker A
You sons of B. This is a joke. Move up now. Walk away. We got more coming in.
Speaker A
Just in time godamn My money kill them back. Take out the murder. Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
You bastard. Come on. Let's go through the train. Arthur, come on. [music] Get out of here.
Speaker A
Get off me. You call yourself soldiers. You burn. You're dead. Take up. You're alive.
Speaker A
Yes. [music] For now. Come on, let's finish this. Let's go. There's nothing in the way.
Speaker A
How many does it take? Push up. Let's go. Watch out. Heat. Heat. noodles. I got this place ready.
Speaker A
Godamn. I don't see none of that standing no more. So good of you to join us.
Speaker A
Hello, son. Hey. Saved your life. You did. Yeah. You're quite the hero, Arthur, ain't you?
Speaker A
Just a regular good guy. Same as always. What is it with you, Arthur? What is it?
Speaker A
I don't get you. I don't get you no more. Oh, the doubting. The doubting.
Speaker A
[music] Come on. Get him out of here. All of you. Come on. Let's go. Finish things.
Speaker A
Finish what? Oh, the doubts. You know why I wanted them to attack this place?
Speaker A
I have no idea. Javier, you get them and you go. Until I find all my men. I'm not leaving.
Speaker A
As you wish. Rest of you, get out of here. Staying with you. We're getting our ticket out of here.
Speaker A
We need to find the office. It's upstairs on the other side. I broke in here before to get those papers for Eagle Flies. That's better, Arthur. A little help. Come on, son. What are we looking for? Money, you fool. The money.
Speaker A
There's state bonds here. Lots of them. I thought you were paying attention. Old Cornwall had a deal with the state. He was being paid to develop the region against the federal government's wishes as they didn't want problems with the
Speaker A
Indians. Anyway, so we get it and we're done. We're almost free. Yes, if we're right. We've had tough times, the toughest of times, but come on.
Speaker A
Don't doubt me no more. Search the place. They got to be here somewhere. I don't know.
Speaker A
I've been here before. Check that covered by the door. I got some cash. Not much.
Speaker A
I got him. I got him. I got him. This is it. It's safe. Bonds.
Speaker A
How much? It's a a few,000 worth, maybe more. Oh, we are nearly there, Arthur. We're nearly there. Mr. Morgan, let's go home.
Speaker A
Let's get out of here, Arthur. [groaning] Did you hear that? Gentlemen, we're here for you.
Speaker A
Your friend, get in there. Shoot him. Find him now. Come on. Come on, Arthur. We have got to get out of here.
Speaker A
I've had it, you fools. We're train. Let's go. Come on. [ __ ] [music] I got one.
Speaker A
A white one. I need help. I need help. You You silly fool. Come on.
Speaker A
You saved my life more than once to get mine for yours. It's as it should be.
Speaker A
Come on. We need to go. You You ran away. Oh, I did no such thing. Don't be a fool. They could be back here any minute. We did it, gentlemen. Oh, we got some money and with the train job,
Speaker A
but we got a whole lot of money. Come on. Everything is coming together. Exactly as I planned.
Speaker A
I've got to take the boy to his father. As you wish. Usually is nowadays.
Speaker A
Sure. Come on. We got to get back to camp and prepare. Let's ride. I'll be back when I can. I'll stay with you.
Speaker A
And me, of course. And so will I. No. Get out of here, please. This ain't going to be nothing nice.
Speaker A
Be safe, Arthur. All right. Come on. Let's get him to what PJ is. We can.
Speaker A
Hold on, my friend. Our men. We must go back for the bodies. We will save your strength, my friend. I'm sorry about this, about all of this.
Speaker A
You have nothing to be sorry for. You know, [music] Dutch Dutch is I guess my thinking is he used.
Speaker A
He wasn't trying to help anyone but himself and his own crazy principles. We're grown men. Nobody made us do anything. Maybe I'm talking for my people as much as for yours. We saw he turned crazy and we couldn't believe it
Speaker A
and we followed him anyway. Things should never have gone this far. You've seen the situation on the reservation. Better to die fighting than sick and weak.
Speaker A
Maybe, but you your people deserve better. You okay, Charles? Not really. All this death and for what? Just so we can have enough money to be able to run away from what we've done.
Speaker A
There used to be some some reason to it. Lines that couldn't be crossed. We even helped some folk.
Speaker A
Those lines have been gone for some time now. The time has come for us to draw our own lines. Arthur, decide where we go from here.
Speaker A
I swear. back there. Dutch just stood and watched. If it wasn't for Eagle Flies, I'd be I know.
Speaker A
I feel like he's descended into the kind of man he told us never to be.
Speaker A
Maybe he's just become more who he really is. I don't know anymore. I just feel like a fool. That money, those bonds, whatever it is, I don't want a scent. There's too much blood on it.
Speaker A
Let's just get this boy to his father. Your friend here, my friend. He's a brave man. Fearless.
Speaker A
Always has been. This won't be in vain. We will try to round up more men from the north. Wherever we can, many are ready to fight. No, this is over for all of us.
Speaker A
Peta. Yes, Peter. It's okay, brother. Save your breath. We're not too far. Come on. Don't die, brother. Not yet.
Speaker A
Hold on, Eagle Flies. We're getting you home. It's the chief's son. I think he's been shot.
Speaker A
Oh no, he is wounded. Bring him to me. [music] Uh [sighs] Hey, [crying] my son.
Speaker A
What are they [snorts] going to do now? They must move and fast. I'll [snorts] stay and help them.
Speaker A
I'll stay, too. No, my friend. You have others who need you. Good people. I'm sorry, but we we must pack and move.
Speaker A
[cough] [laughter] Go [music] Please Drink. Drink this. Rest a minute. [clears throat] I got to go.
Speaker A
[music] Um, [cough] [clears throat] [sighs] [sighs] We have enough people over here to carry.
Speaker A
Well, at least you ain't run off around here. Yes, they will all get burned very What you talking about? Pearson left, old uncle. The traitors both gone at dawn. They said young Tilly they were running to save themselves. I think Mary
Speaker A
Beth left as well. So it goes. They are godamn cowards. Arthur cowards of all the time we spend to run off.
Speaker A
Well, I guess they don't want to die, Dutch. Ain't nobody going to This is a tough time and you ain't you ain't doing too well. But we, our community, we will survive.
Speaker A
They will not crush us. I hope so. But if we let Jack and the women free, well then maybe we can freedom for no one in this country no more. Arthur, one more big score. We got enough money
Speaker A
to leave. All this turmoil has the army and Pinkerton spinning. We take a boat and slip away.
Speaker A
I don't know what you're saying, Dutch, but it seems like I've heard it all before.
Speaker A
Just one more time. As always, a goddamn train. Arthur, this is different. We know this is full of cash.
Speaker A
Army payroll, money, and supplies to repair the bridge that you blew. This is all going to plan. We rob Uncle Sam and we leave.
Speaker A
The poetry of it all. What do you think? It sounds wonderful. Hell yeah. I ain't got much to lose. But you know, the women and the children and John and his family, I'm afraid I have to insist. I mean, we got to let them go
Speaker A
cuz if the Pinkertons come through again, they will kill everyone. John, insist. Yeah. Insist.
Speaker A
Of course, pal. Whatever you think is best, I will see to it. Huh? Now, are we going to rob a train?
Speaker A
Sure. We will survive. We will flourish. We have work to do, my friends. Let's go. Come on. We are going to borrow a little money from old Uncle Sam and be out of his hair once and for all. He
Speaker A
insists upon it. Insists. Let's ride out, gentlemen. Let's go. Yeah. Okay, [music] let's pick up the pace.
Speaker A
Train is due in Sandin hour. We're robbing a train in the middle of a city.
Speaker A
No, it's going to stop there, take on mail and water, let off some boys heading home on leave, and then it heads out.
Speaker A
They know the bridge is gone, Blacklung. There'll be a patrol past Annisburg, waiting down by the river to collect the money.
Speaker A
We sneak on quietly and then we got a short time to stop the train before it reaches the patrol.
Speaker A
John, you go get that dynamite. We'll meet back up outside of Sandin. I'll go with him. As you wish.
Speaker A
Come on. It's this way. I hid the wagon down here after we blew the bridge.
Speaker A
This is one big godamn group of us to be riding back into Sanden. Yeah, I heard the Pinkertons have pretty much taken over Van Horn. Moved a whole heap of men in there. Things are closing in fast. [ __ ]
Speaker A
Should be just through these trees. There it is. [cough] I'll get the dynamite. No, I can do it.
Speaker A
You sure? I'm fine. Okay, it's in the back. Huh? Got it. All right, let's get this done.
Speaker A
Round up, Arthur. So, listen. Abigail just told me the money. It's hidden in the caves at Beaver Hollow.
Speaker A
What? Yeah. So much for never hiding it near camp. Dutch was getting even sloppier than we thought. Are Abigail and Jack ready to leave?
Speaker A
I think so. Okay. Whatever happens with this job today. Wherever Dutch and them go next, we're getting you the hell out of here. We're going to get you the money you need.
Speaker A
Knowing the three of you got out. Well, maybe all of this will still mean something.
Speaker A
Tilly and Susan, too. I'll do whatever it takes. You've always had my back, Arthur.
Speaker A
Well, perhaps not always. Anyway, here we go. One last train, Arthur. One last train.
Speaker A
Yeah, There you are. Got everything? Yeah. Then off we go. Off we go. Indeed.
Speaker A
One last time, gentlemen. I got us a river boat. We'll head up to New York or Chicago and get a real boat from there out to the tropics.
Speaker A
So long as it isn't Guerma. Oh, it'll be paradise, son. It's all coming together, Dutch. Just like we planned.
Speaker A
That okay with you, John. Arthur, or do you insist on something different? Sounds about as good now as every time I've heard it before.
Speaker A
Oh, Abigail must be real excited, all packed up like she is. I could just see her in the little grass skirt.
Speaker A
Don't talk to me, you son of a [ __ ] Boys. Boys. Okay, now let's keep it down. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves going through here. Nice and easy through town, fellas.
Speaker A
Ah, Sanden, it's good to be back. Happy memories, huh? John, will you shut up, Ma? That's enough.
Speaker A
Fire all of you. Not much further now. Heat. Heat. Oh, all right. Cleat Sadie, you board halfway along.
Speaker A
John, you and Arthur are going to board at the back. Rest of you, follow Mike and I and join once they stop the train.
Speaker A
Here she comes. Should I just sneak on now? God damn it. Well, everybody mount up. We still going through with this?
Speaker A
Of course we are. Come on, Arthur. We got to get on that train. We can jump on at the side.
Speaker A
[music] [music] John, you okay? Yeah. In the drug care for quick. I'm going now.
Speaker A

Speaker A
You feel like pitching? Of course not. Let's get to the front. Come on. Push up.
Speaker A
[music] Let's go. Keep pushing forward. Dutch and m I don't see them. Who knows if this was their goddamn plan all along.
Speaker A
Just like the old days. This don't feel nothing like the old days. [music] Train's on fire. Come on. We can't get through the smoke. Come on. Let's go.
Speaker A
Come on. Get going, Bill. [music] All right, let's get back on there. Come on, Arthur. Now, uncouple that cash before it blows us all up.
Speaker A
It drives me around. The gun, Arthur. [bell] Well done. [groaning] [music] Love your gun. You protect that money.
Speaker A
on Arthur. I'll go stop the train. Stop the train. Whatever you do, do [music] not stop the train. You're secure up ahead, but keep us moving.
Speaker A
I'll deal [music] with that patrol when they come through. [ __ ] We got a lot of [music] You sure you can handle that gun? cuz I can't take over if you want.
Speaker A
Just shut the hell up. Hey, we don't know what on this [music] left. [music] How the hell I can deal with you lady goddamn. [music] All right.
Speaker A
[music] Look out on the left. [music] [music] on the rock. [music] Will you shoot him for grass?
Speaker A
What the hell you think I'm doing? Listen, I don't take orders from you. [music] Okay, get off the goat. We need to go for the money.
Speaker A
Come on. The money should be in the front carriage. [music] Hey, quick. Let's blow up. Let's go. The money's in that carriage.
Speaker A
All right, guess we better blow this thing. Here we go. We got something. We got something.
Speaker A
Catch. Wait, there's more. Morgan, the driver's dead. This thing ain't stopping. We got to get off. Okay, then let's go.
Speaker A
Jesus, we're alive just about. Well, let's move. [clears throat] Where's John? I tried. I tried.
Speaker A
He didn't make it. That patrol killed him. We had to run. Come on, let's go before another patrol turns up.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] They came took Abigail. I saved Jack. We hid, but they took Abigail.
Speaker A
Who did? Agent Milton and his men took it to Van Horn to be put on a boat and tried for murder.
Speaker A
I am sorry to hear that. We got to let her go. John's a Well, sorry son.
Speaker A
Without John, she's just bait. Got a bunch of money, Dutch. She's just a girl. They won't do nothing to her. But me and the boys know. We need to keep riding on this one, Dutch. You know it.
Speaker A
Every man here knows it. We just going to let the boy be made an orphan. It ain't like that.
Speaker A
What is it like? I want to live, cowpoke. I still got the choice. Dutch. It's just a girl.
Speaker A
You're right. Micah. It pains me to say it, Arthur. But he is right. Touch. Come on, boys.
Speaker A
Well, I guess that's that then. All them godamn years. Come on, Arthur. Let's go get her. You and me is all we need.
Speaker A
Miss Tilly, here. Take this. You take this money, too. Take Jack and you wait to Copper Head Landing for Abigail and Mrs. Adler.
Speaker A
Thank you, Arthur. You're a good girl. You live a good life now. You here?

Speaker A
Mrs. Adler, ride with me. [screaming] If they're putting her on a boat, they'll probably dock at the north end of town. So, I reckon we should go in the other way.
Speaker A
Sure. I guess. I don't know. God, those godamn bastards. Look, [snorts] just follow me. Okay.
Speaker A
We're going to get this done. Arthur. [music] Now he don't care if he orphans his friend's child so long as he gets rich. All his goddamn talk all them years. Seems like it was always a lie or he went crazy. What a mess.
Speaker A
Sure. Guess he began to believe he was God or something. [music] I don't know.
Speaker A
I'm sorry you got dragged into this into us. Listen, if you hadn't shown up in my house that night, I'd be dead. And even this [ __ ] beats dead. [music] I thought I could find a way to get
Speaker A
John, Abigail, and Jack out of this mess. Give him a life. Seems I left it too late.
Speaker A
If we could still get Abigail, maybe her and Jack will be okay. John, Josea, Mac, Davey, Jenny, Shawn, Lenny, we have to put an end to this.
Speaker A
And Eagle Flies, another angry fool. He used just like he did with the rest of us.
Speaker A
Like I said, Arthur, we don't need them. We're going to make this right. Me and you together. What's left of it. Now, come on.
Speaker A
[music] Okay, here we are. Let's ditch the horses and come up with a plan.
Speaker A
Get out of here. How you feeling? [snorts] I'm okay. I think you should cover me and I'll go in there and get her cuz you're the better shot. I mean, that ain't what you mean. I can still fight.
Speaker A
I know, Arthur, but just do it my way, honey. It's for the best. Get up someplace high like the lighthouse or something and cover me, please.

Speaker A
Come on, John. Please try. Try what? We got to live somewhere for more than just a few weeks.
Speaker A
Okay, let's see what we can find in in Strawberry. What do you know about strawberries?
Speaker A
I know they like good, honest, hardworking men a [music] whole lot more than angry killers. So, make yourself good and honest.
Speaker A
I'm always honest. Maybe not always good, but I'm always honest. My whole life, I've been surrounded by fools with moral codes. Here's the moral code. Look out for folks. Stop trying to act like some hero in a book.
Speaker A
What do you know about heroes in books? My reading's getting pretty good. Well, read different books then.
Speaker A
The books is Jack's. And well, maybe he's doing most the reading, but still. You're a bad influence on your mother.
Speaker A
Boy. Boy. Sorry, sir. What was that? I said you're a bad influence on your mother. With your books.
Speaker A
Which books was that? You know, that dime novel, Boy Callaway and the Men from the Moon or whatever it was. I'll do my best to find better reading material pop.
Speaker A
Is that what you like then? Western tales, boy. What's that, sir? Do you enjoy tales of the Wild West?
Speaker A
Not so much anymore. I've been reading about knights, you know, of the round table.
Speaker A
The king, what's his name? There's King Arthur and there's Sir Lancelot and the Lady Gwyn and a whole lot of others.
Speaker A
Those names, I kind of like them. You know what? So do I. I bet that sign says strawberry, don't it? I got a good feeling about this place. Been a long time.
Speaker A
Why don't you pull up just here? I'm going to go see what kind of good, honest work I can find. Grave digging or polishing some rich fella's boots or some such.
Speaker A
Me, too. See if me and the boy can find some laundry work or something.
Speaker A
How do you help you, son? I'm hoping I can help you. I saw the help wanted sign outside.
Speaker A
Sure, but uh you're a bit old to be stacking groceries and running errands, ain't you, son?
Speaker A
Well, uh I ain't too proud to do nothing. As long as it's honest and it pays.
Speaker A
Time's hard, Mr. Milton. Jim Milton. Yeah, my wife and I and our boy, we was robbed a few days ago. Lucky to get out with our lives. We was now um Well, we need money.
Speaker A
There's bad folk out there. Tell me about it. Not a wagon by any chance?
Speaker A
I'm sure. Well, then maybe you could run some goods up to Pongghorn Ranch for me. You know, uh head west past Owen Gila, then follow the road north. Lead you right there. I I don't know where that is, but
Speaker A
I'm sure I can find it. I can leave right now if you'd like. It's Getty's place. Fine, fella. Uh where's the wagon?

Speaker A
Oh, where are you from anyway, partner? Well, you know, up north mostly. Been in these parts before, but that was years ago.
Speaker A
It's changed. The rich fellas are coming in and buying everything, the ranches. But, well, it ain't as wild as it once were. At least there is that.
Speaker A
See, if it ain't too personal a question, are you a gunslinger, mister? Good lord, no. Nothing like that.
Speaker A
Just a ranch hand then. Just a ranch hand. Failed at a bunch of things like most men.
Speaker A
Well, [laughter] I feel a whole heap better having a ranch hand like you around. That is for sure.
Speaker A
Let's see how you feel once you see me work. All right, then. Here's a couch.
Speaker A
Yeah, we used to have a bunch of women here do most of the milking, but most of them drifted off.

Watch and learn, partner. We all got to earn our keep. That's enough, Jim. Come on. How about you and the boy uh help me clean out the stables?
Speaker A
Sure. Come on, son. How old you now, Lancelot? 12, sir. Ain't that grand? It's such a fine name.

Speaker A
ain't used to shoveling shits, but took on a gang of robbers singlehanded. Guess we all got our peculiarities, Mr.
Speaker A
Dickens. What was you doing before you came here? I told you. Wife got cheated out of inheritance. We was in a legal dispute.
Speaker A
It was a bad time. It sounds awful, but I guess I don't believe a word of it.
Speaker A
I was raised to take a man at his word and also to believe this is a free country. So free that I can't tell you what to think. So I guess it don't much matter what you believe.
Speaker A
But I will work hard and I learn fast. Okay. Give me a hand with this fence.
Speaker A
Well, there's plenty more to do. Pound it in there. We don't want it coming down.

Speaker A
Good man. Can you help [clears throat] my boy, my youngest, Duncan? He will insist on riding Jeremiah, a horse that is far too strong for him. And my wife will need help with this. Mary Abe, sir, you and Dickens better not make any

I ain't done too much. I ain't much of a rancher. Oh, heck. Hey, maybe them Larmy boys weren't so tough after all. Maybe I could have handled them.
Speaker A
Of course you could. They're just loud mouths. So, uh, is that what the boss is doing in town? some business with them boys or something?
Speaker A
Well, when Mr. Gettys goes into town, well, it ain't exactly for uh business. Oh. Uh, okay then.

Speaker A
I was I was reading the newspaper. I was reading about a old ranch, Beecher Hope, down by Blackwater.
Speaker A
Was you? Well, Jack read it to me, but I thought maybe we could raise some money.
Speaker A
Bank could lend us the rest. We could be happy. John, bank loans. I got a goddamn price on my head woman.
Speaker A
I know. I know all about that. Every time we about to get somewhere, make something, you go and show the entire world that you ain't Jimmy Milton. Every place we've been has been the same. We start doing okay, and then boom, you act

She had many problems of her own, but that's a different story. [music] Listen, I've begged you, but it don't seem to make much difference.
Speaker A
[music] I've tried everything I know to make you grow up. And you know I love you, but loving you means I can't watch you do this. Time after time, we've had to run because of your behavior and your
Speaker A
decisions. We got [music] a son. I got a son. And I love our son enough that I can't have him around while you're like this. I had so many dreams, John. [music] I hoped you would change. We all saw
Speaker A
what happened to them that didn't. But you, part of you is hellbent on ending up the [music] same way.
Speaker A
And I love you too much to watch that no more [music] Abigail. [sighs] [snorts] [music] [music] Where's the wife, Milton?
Speaker A
Um, she's out. I saw her leaving with the boy and the bags. What's going on?
Speaker A
You married Mr. Dickens? No. That don't surprise me. What'd she do? Catch you with a showgirl. I hear about you shooting more fellas over by Strawberry. Just who are you, Jim Milton?
Speaker A
I'm a family man. I can handle a gun. Sure. Them men shot at me.
Speaker A
Just interested, that's all. Ain't nothing interesting. Unless you find gossip about a man's marriage worthy of your time. Guess not. There's work to be done. Unless you're running off too.
Speaker A
I ain't going nowhere. I'm here to work. Got to save money. Get her what she wants.
Speaker A
What does she want? She wants a place of her own. Said she found a plot up at Beress Hope.
Speaker A
You a rancher. You'll starve. Probably. Well, keep yourself [laughter] busy. Take your mind off it.

Gettys? see if maybe he's open to offering me some guidance. No, I'm sure he'd be happy to hear you speak at least.
Speaker A
Thank you, Mr. Dickens. Hey son, how's that bull? Fine, Mr. Milton. Your father in? Could I have a word?
Speaker A
Sure. I'll just get him. P. I'm right right here. What's the problem, Milton? I'm sorry for the disturbance, sir.
Speaker A
Oh, no problem. My wife, she just began her morning discourse on the subject of my faults.
Speaker A
Experience I think every man can relate to in some ways. My wife My wife also has issues with some of the decisions I've made. Real issues.
Speaker A
Do you believe a man can change, sir? Where is this heading? I guess I don't know.
Speaker A
I've [clears throat] tried to be a good hand. I've worked hard to secure your property.
Speaker A
And for that, we are grateful. And you've paid me well. Besides, the thing is, I suppose I need to get a place of my own so I can prove to my wife that I've changed.
Speaker A
I understand. But ain't got much money. I ain't asking to borrow none. But maybe you could go to the bank and put in a good word so they could give me a loan.
Speaker A
A loan? Huh? So I can buy that place. It's beacher's hope. Yes, I know [snorts] it.
Speaker A
Yes, of course. Sure. It'd be my pleasure. Take my advice, Milton. Take your money and go buy passage on a boat.
Speaker A
Go to Brazil and forget all about family. I'm just joking, son. Just make sure you deal with Anel Athetherton at the bank. He's a distant cousin.
Speaker A
Use my name. Tell him to ask me direct himself. You'll get what you need. Thank you, sir.
Speaker A
Yeah, I was young and dumb once, too. You'll get her back. [music] [music] Cruel crew world must I go.

Oh, yeah. Mr. Athetherton is in his office. Hey, please head in. Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker A
Can I help you? I hope so. I want a loan, sir. A line of credit so I can buy some property.
Speaker A
What property? An old ranch. Beacher's Hope. That old dump. I I know it ain't much, but I ain't much of a farmer either, but I will get there. That is a very unusual way of asking for a loan. Mr.
Speaker A
Marston. Marston. Only folk around here call me Milton. It's kind of a joke, I guess.
Speaker A
A joke, huh? And which folk? Mr. Gettys, I work for him. He said that you could help me out. I mean, if you can. So, old David Getty's told you I'm the kind of man to loan a man with two names money
Speaker A
so he can buy a rundown farm on account of his lack of farming skills, huh?
Speaker A
Don't [laughter] sound too promising when you put it like that. Well, how would you put it?
Speaker A
Sorry to waste your time, sir. Oh, sit down. I'm sure we can figure something out. Now, of course, we'll be expecting you to make regular payments, and given a lack of much evidence you got any means of repaying, the terms
Speaker A
won't be too great. But if my cousin vouches for you, it'll be okay with the bank.
Speaker A
Really? Absolutely. Thank you. Now, of course, we'll be expecting our money back regular as clockwork until the debt settled.
Speaker A
Otherwise, the farm reverts to the bank, no matter how much you paid. I understand.
Speaker A
All right. Well, why don't you go check out the land while I fix the contracts and talk to Mr. Gettys. Oh, I heard there's squatters up there. We've been having so many problems recently.
Speaker A
They'll need clearing on. Sure. Come back when you're done and we'll fix up the paperwork.
Speaker A
Come on, lady. I need Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey Down
Speaker A
hey wow. [clears throat] Can I help you, friend? I hope so. Who's in charge here?
Speaker A
No one, mister. This is a free country. Now, [laughter] that I ain't so sure about. Listen, I'm buying this land.
Speaker A
I'm afraid afraid you guys are going to have to go somewhere else. Who's this?
Speaker A
I ain't sure. Some fancy damn city boy says he owns this land or he's going to owns it.
Speaker A
That's what he says. Okay. And how come we live in here? I ain't sure.
Speaker A
Look, take some money. Go try and find somewhere else to stay. You for real, friend?
Speaker A
Sure, take it. You a real gentleman. Okay, boys. Let's go celebrate. [laughter] Thanks, mister.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] Ah, it's you, the man with two names and no past. Come on in. How'd you make out?
Speaker A
Well, let's just say there are no more squatters. Okay. Well, I got your paperwork ready.
Speaker A
Now, you sure about buying this place? It's really run down and the price isn't too great.
Speaker A
I think it would mean a lot for my wife. At least mean I was listening to her.
Speaker A
Okay. Well, sign here and here. Mhm. Now, we own you, Mr. Marston, and we own Mr. Milton, too. and we own your property, but you can buy your freedom each week. Eventually, you will be a homeowner.
Speaker A
I understand. Congratulations. You are now a real American indebted and owned by the bank.
Speaker A
I'm joking. They own me. They just own your property. Now, you can also use this line of credit for any home improvements you need to make. Of course, I can.
Speaker A
Sure. Be good, Mr. Marston. Welcome to home ownership. It's a beautiful thing. Let your wife know what to complain about.
Speaker A
I'm just joking. Well, it is you. Well, I [screaming] never I I thought you was dead, boy.
Speaker A
Dead, uncle. The very same. Come here. [laughter] I saw you going into the bank and by the looks of things, you ain't robbed it.
Speaker A
I've gone straight. Oh, bull crap. No, for real. Well, I'm trying. All these years, you ain't changed a [laughter] bit. Maybe a little bit. I thought you was dead.
Speaker A
Not yet. Well, I got some things to take care of. Oh, not a problem. I'll come, too.
Speaker A
No, you don't have to. No, I'm real sick, John. Lombago. It's a slow and painful death, my brother.
Speaker A
Evidently. Have a little pity, will you? Huh? Come on then. All right. [laughter] You going to mount?
Speaker A
Follow me. Where are we headed? West. West? Oh, God. Ain't you a man a few words? I can see we're headed west.
Speaker A
You know, speaking in monosyllables don't make you seem interesting. It makes you seem stupid. I don't care how I seem. Well, now where are we headed? You damn grunting [music] fool.
Speaker A
This ranch I a ranch I bought just now. Is that what you were doing in the bank?
Speaker A
Spending all your money called I own a ranch in the armpit of West Elizabeth.
Speaker A
[music] Oh my lord. Not that that's any of your concern, but I was in the bank borrowing the money.
Speaker A
Well, that's even worse. Yeah, you can run from a bounty, John. You can't run from a bank. Is Abigail there?
Speaker A
No, she's uh her and Jack are waiting until I'm set up before joining me out here.
Speaker A
You mean she left you? Oh, I never thought she was a smart woman, but you know, this makes me think maybe I was wrong.
Speaker A
No more of that. I just bought this place and you're lucky I'm showing it to you and not looking for a place to bury you out here.
Speaker A
Easy. This is it. Look at her. Okay. What do you think? Why exactly did you buy this dump for Abigail? Why is she an idiot?
Speaker A
No. What were you thinking? I don't know. She said she wanted it. She ever seen it? What are we going to farm here? Rocks?
Speaker A
We You don't have a hope here without a wise hand at the tiller. Enough of that. Get out of here. On your way.
Speaker A
No, you're stuck with me. Seems I'm stuck with you, John the Rock Farmer. So, you think I'm an idiot?
Speaker A
No, I know you're an idiot. [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] me working hard.
Speaker A
It's Dolbago. Now, if I overdo it, I I'll get a relapse. It's very serious.
Speaker A
Get up or get out. Oh, you can be so testy. What is it? Constipation.
Speaker A
Guess you're my proof I'll never quite outrun my sins. You got so sanctimonious in your old age. No wonder she left you. It's like rooming with a King James Bible.
Speaker A
Get up. I'm getting up. Oh no. Wait. What did I have to tell you? I went into town. Oh, I got I got a little drunk.
Speaker A
Oh [ __ ] Well, we got to go. We got to go to Sanden. Charles Charles Smith is alive, I reckon. Charles Smith alive?
Speaker A
Really? I I reckon. Unless I dreamed it all. And by the sound of it, not doing too good neither.
Speaker A
All right, here we are. Come on, let's get off. All right. Yeah. Back in Sanden.
Speaker A
I never like this place. Oh yeah. I don't mean neither. All right, let's go find that big sour bastard.
Speaker A
Sure. Let's split up. Good idea. I'll take the saloons, you take the slums. Nah, how about I take the saloons and you take the slums.
Speaker A
Good day. Okay. Damn heat, man. Morning, partner. Who's south? Hey, partner. You seen a big Indian guy?
Speaker A
Indian? Sure. I've seen hundreds. A big guy? Boxer, maybe? Likes fighting. Yeah. Yeah. Baron knuckle guy. Think he's he's fighting tonight over at St.
Speaker A
Saturnines. Thank you. Thanks a lot. No problem, bud. Okay Missy do we have a problem here?
Speaker A
What took you so long? Oh, good lord. I was just beginning to enjoy some peace and quiet.
Speaker A
Asked that first bar man I met and he told me Charles was here. Not one alive mysteries turns a massacre and you are a killer.
Speaker A
We both know what you got to do. I'm leaving now. He don't know the half of it.
Speaker A
John, you're you're I'm alive. So are you. So is he. That's Uncle. What are you doing?
Speaker A
I don't know. I'm alive. Uncle thought maybe he was in some sort of trouble.
Speaker A
Kind of. Just I don't know. I I'm throwing fights for a few dollars. Throwing fights?
Speaker A
Sure. Then you like that? Of course not. So So let me go place a bet. Come on, man. I thought you were dead. [laughter] Sure. Abigail's still alive, too. Only she left me. Excuse me. I'd like to place a bet.
Speaker A
On who? On myself to win. Lone Wolf. How much? All of this. Okay. Funny thing. I pegged you for the favorite, but the odds just got real good. What about you, sir? Uh, little wager on the wolf here.
Speaker A
Sure. I'm a fan of the wolf. Give me a bet on him. Have I got a treat for you. An epic battle between the descendant of ancient warriors and a not so noble savage. On my left, a ferocious
Speaker A
battler from the valleys, Simon of Wales. And on my right, an engine Hercules. The savage, the untameable, the unbeaten, and dare I say unbeatable, lone wolf. You know how this works.
Speaker A
[music] No weapons, no forfeiting, no crying like a beaten child. Everything else goes. You win by knockout, you win by retirement, or you win by death.
Speaker A
Let's have a good fight, boys. Let's keep it clean, [music] but not so clean.
Speaker A
What is this? Come on, wolf. What is this? This is pretend he's Michael. No, lad bastard. Hit him, Charles.
Speaker A
Don't be stupid. What the hell? Knock him out. Come on, lone wolf. Better get you the hell out of here.
Speaker A
Hey, lone wolf. How made my month, but you also made some fellas mighty unhappy.
Speaker A
So it goes. Here's your [ __ ] partner. We just made the bed I said we So you keen on staying around here and heading off with me and uncle. But John, I haven't seen you two in years. I know,
Speaker A
but right now my sense is you just need to lie low. Where? We got a little place up past Blackwater in the high country.
Speaker A
Okay, I got to grab my baggage. I booked a steamer heading up river. That's why I was pretending to throw the fight.
Speaker A
Okay, boys. I'll meet you at the bridge outside Sanden. What are you doing? Just have a few urns of room.
Speaker A
You're useless. I am a deep thinker. Be quick. Come on. This way. My bag's on the dock side. So, what happened?
Speaker A
You mean back then? Arthur helped me get out. Gave me a chance to live. I guess you you know that Arthur.
Speaker A
Sure. Word got to me up north, so I went back and buried him in Miss Grimshaw.
Speaker A
I had to run. If any of us had been found, we'd have Of course. I understand.
Speaker A
He's where he would have wanted to be. A pretty hillside facing the evening sun.
Speaker A
He gave me his satchel and some of his things in it. Remember that journal he always drew in? I got it. I'm bit of a draftsman myself nowadays.
Speaker A
He was a good man. As much as any of us could be. Getting sick like that has to rattle a fell. Don't worry.
Speaker A
Rattle him or watch him. Give him some kind of understanding what his life was really all about.
Speaker A
Yeah, that makes sense. Anyway, I heard all you were dead or I might have come looking and me the same about you.
Speaker A
Dutch? Who knows? Dead maybe. I'm not sure. I heard all kind of things. But one thing I know, he ain't around here. I ain't heard nothing real in years since Well, that time nor me, Micah.
Speaker A
I hope that bastard's dead. You know, he was the one speaking to them agents.
Speaker A
What? Putting him on us the whole time. Or since before I got off Sisica, they picked up Strauss. The agents made a real mess of him. I heard he died in custody. Never said a word.
Speaker A
Guess some folk is strong in ways you can't see. How do you think that happened?
Speaker A
All those deaths, Micah. None of us is innocent in that. Dutch, least of all, but I don't think we would have had to make those calls. All that mayhem if it wasn't for Okay. Uh, hold on.
Speaker A
What? Careful. Why? Those are Guido Martelli's men. Who? He uh he used to work for Angelo Bronte.
Speaker A
I've only been here an hour. Hey, come over here. What now? Well, you go left, I go right on three.
Speaker A
Mhm. Three. You could have thrown that fire. It's never just one deadly. What are those?
Speaker A
There's a wagon up there. I'll get my bag. Okay. [music] Come on, John. I'll drive.
Speaker A
Okay. Where was Uncle going to meet us? Over the bridge going out of town west.
Speaker A
Hold on. Come on now. [music] You see any law? Not yet. Keep your eye out. Sand ain't short on police.
Speaker A
Remember that. Only too well. Anyone? Good so far. Further we get from those gunshots, better [music] chance we have of denying it at least.
Speaker A
No, we can't get caught. Matelli has the police chief in his pocket. If they take us in, we won't get out of the interview room. I don't want to get in a shootout over this. That's not the man I try to
Speaker A
be anymore. [music] No, I don't want that either. You see anything? I think we're clear. If I ever want to go back, remind me that I hate San Die.
Speaker A
Guido Martelli will happily remind you of that. Give me some simple folk and wide open spaces.
Speaker A
Speaking of simple, John Carl, you boys have been all getting up to no good.
Speaker A
Kind of been getting shot at. Well, they weren't very good shots. Come on, let's head for home.
Speaker A
Ah, feels like old times. It's good to have the old gang back together again.
Speaker A
Let's just hope things don't turn out like last time. There he goes. What' I tell you, Charles? Boy is as sour as weak old milk. No wonder she didn't stay with you. Not even a retired $2 [ __ ] would
Speaker A
stay with you. That's the goddamn truth. Now, you used to be decent company, but now you're worse than a snake with a toothache. All he does is whine, whine, whine.
Speaker A
Excuse me. Oh, don't get all angry. It ain't going to change nothing. You're hopeless. And I mean that literally. You got no hope.
Speaker A
But look at you. Look at this place. Your dream home. I've had better nightmares than this dream. Oh, darling Abigail. I've changed. Come live with me in an out house. I wouldn't ask my worst enemy to take a [ __ ] in.
Speaker A
What are you trying to say? It's awful. It's a dump. The house has got to go. Well, get some selfrespect, you miserable sack of [ __ ] Build a house a lady set foot in.
Speaker A
Place just needs a woman's touch. It needs leveling. No woman would touch this place.
Speaker A
Now, I reckon these horses can have it down in a minute. Here, come on. Tie that end around the horses. You loop that end around there. Horses will pull it clean down.
Speaker A
We good? I think so. All right. Well, let's get going now. Just pull. You got this, John. I'll go when you do.
Speaker A
See, I told you it wouldn't be no trouble. And now, now we head into town, buy ourselves a house, ride out of a book. Same as if it were a bicycle.
Speaker A
Where in town? There's a fellow by the train store. Cakes, hardwood, and timber. Okay, you keep working here.
Speaker A
But if I don't go with you, who's going to tell you that? Need a bit of peace and quiet from your incessant yapping.
Speaker A
Charles, make him work. Whip him if you have to. Come on, lady. Come on in.
Speaker A
Oh, John, come sit down. Sure. You uh got any work? Yeah. [music] Well, there's always work.
Speaker A
Whole country is getting robbed. Robbing or stopping robbers. Well, seems like there ain't much else in this world except bastards. Victims of bastards.
Speaker A
And the bastards who want to put the bastards in the ground. And which are you exactly?
Speaker A
Me? My time? All three. But same as most people, I guess. Well, funny thing about this job, well, opportunity, I just might get to be all three again.
Speaker A
How you mean? You ever heard of [clears throat] Shane Finley? [snorts] Cattle wrestler, murderer, thief, child killer. He's wanted in five states. I caught him last week. He was disguised as a lady in a house for fallen women. I was bringing
Speaker A
him in and I got robbed by a professional rival of mine, James Lankton. Oh, he's a nasty bastard. I didn't much like him even before he robbed me.
Speaker A
That happened a lot. This line of work. Yeah, but they're all people like me.
Speaker A
Anyway, now they're holed up in the desert down south, waiting to head north so they can hand them in to the state troopers in the north country. I'd given up on the job as just a bad lot. But now
Speaker A
that you're here, maybe we can go rob him back. Is the money good? Yeah, it's real good. Plus, I don't much like getting robbed by no one.
Speaker A
Come on. [snorts] Where is it? We're heading again. You say south. Now come on, mount up. We got a ride ahead of us.
Speaker A
Of course we do. Follow me. Let's ride. Yes, ma'am. That a new horse. Some folk buy ranches, some buy horses.
Speaker A
Horses are cheaper. He looks mean. He is. My ranch. It's something else. You know, you got to come up there.
Speaker A
You ain't had any trouble? Some squatters, but that's it for the most part. That's good. Maybe these fellas I heard about have stayed north or gone off somewhere else or dropped down dead in their own tracks.
Speaker A
It's good country. All country is good. It's just folk that are bad. [music] You know who I got up there with me?
Speaker A
Uncle. Besides uncle. Abigail. Abigail ain't come there just yet. Really? you or want to talk about it.
Speaker A
Well, maybe. But Charles Smith, we found Charles Smith. Charles, he's alive. Yeah, he's doing okay.
Speaker A
He was prize fighting in Sanden. Weren't seeming too well. He took everything real hard, but I think life on the plains is going to be good for him. I always like Charles. You send it my best.
Speaker A
I will. You know, you can come along, too. Build a cabin on the land.
Speaker A
I've done that all before. Can't do it again. I'm on my own now, John. I I ain't so good with people.
Speaker A
Ah, the offer is there. Whenever you want it. That's kind. Unlikely to be taken up, but kind. You heard anything of Dutch?
Speaker A
Nothing. You? No. You'd think he's a colorful character. Word would get out. That's one way of putting it. Look, what happened with the gang changed everyone who was a part of it. The Dutch who put a blanket around me after the
Speaker A
O'Driscolls, that weren't the same man at Beaver Hollow. And now he might not be so colorful no more.
Speaker A
You see a man whose character changed. I see a man who got found out for who he truly was.
Speaker A
We was fools to follow him. I was a fool and I paid for it. And I was one of the lucky ones.
Speaker A
Mer John. Micah is the one who set it off. I blame me for following Dutch for too long, but I blame Micah for most everything else.
Speaker A
He's out there. And someday I hope we'll find him, but not now. Come on.
Speaker A
[music] [music] There's a spot up ahead where we can see over most of the country. They'll be down there.
Speaker A
So, James Langton, the bounty hunter, he's got this outlaw you captured in a women's boarding house.
Speaker A
Shane Finley. Correct. And we aim to have Lenon give him back to us before he rides north with him to hand him over to some state troopers.
Speaker A
Correct. Again, though the giving back part is optimistic. I'm forever the optimist. We cut off here.
Speaker A
This is the place. It's a view. All right. Come on, let's go take a look down in the valley.
Speaker A
Be quicker if we both look. You got binoculars, don't you? I think I see something.
Speaker A
Yep, there they are down there. Who's who? Well, the bounty is the fell who's all tied up.
Speaker A
Very funny. And that big fat fell with the funny hat, that's James Lton. [music] The other fellas just work for him.
Speaker A
Where do you think they're heading? Come on. Let's go follow him. Looks like they're cutting through the canyon underneath us. Let's go. Yeah.
Speaker A
They'll be coming through here. Stop. There they are. Follow and keep an eye on them.
Speaker A
Stay back from the edge. You won't get north through here. What are you doing? Huh?
Speaker A
You You talking to me or Lon? Sorry. I ain't used to having anyone with me.
Speaker A
My guess is they'll stop up ahead. We can get a better look at them.
Speaker A
You know his thinking pretty well. If you can't outgun them, you got to outthink them.
Speaker A
The canyon opens up down a ways. We'll head them off there. up here. Get off your horse. This might be our chance.
Speaker A
Yeah, they're stopping. And that sure is Shane Finley coming off the back of his horse.
Speaker A
What are they waiting for? The rest of Langton's men, I think. Lang is doing pretty well for himself.
Speaker A
How come he's got all them men and you work alone? I got you. You're worth 10 of them.
Speaker A
Great. All right. So, what you think? Should we threaten them, start shooting at him, or sneak down and pick them off one by one?
Speaker A
I reckon sneaking down is our best opportunity, but uh it's your call. I'll follow your lead. Let's sneak down there.
Speaker A
Okay. Well, follow away. Stay down and stay close. Let's go. We're going down the canyon. Look out on these rocky paths.
Speaker A
You guys blow us. Let's get closer. We can't go around them. You take one of them. I'll take the other. [music] You guys, you got me. Okay, let's move up ahead.
Speaker A
Another one on the boat. He's mine. He's done. They're going to hear us on these bridges, but it's worth a try.
Speaker A
We ain't snaking no more. Closing [music] now. There's more of them. I'm on the ring.
Speaker A
Die, you bastard. They're on the side of the bases. You're not going to die.
Speaker A
Come on. Look out. On the move. Why you buzzing out of you? I got the drop down.
Speaker A
All right. Get to the bottom of this. More men on the way. We need our horses.
Speaker A
I know that. [ __ ] That damn harvey. Look dead. That's what you get from robbing me.
Speaker A
Lon [music] come on. It's time to collect. Okay, you're taking Finley. Let's go. Get him on your horse.
Speaker A
My sense is that it would be rude not to rob you. Are you with her?
Speaker A
What's it look like? Get him up there. Come on. Let's go for a ride.
Speaker A
All right, girl. You mad, man? Down the Let's ride. Easy. This track. Look out on the rope bridge.
Speaker A
Take them out, [screaming] John. I got it. Then help. We're almost riding in on the left.
Speaker A
Come on. Help me. Get up, you fools. That's the end of the canyon. Then I think we might be free of it.
Speaker A
Ride for it. Whoa. Whoa. I need to relieve myself. There'll be a bucket in your cell.
Speaker A
I'm serious. Yep. And so am I. Hit him, John. Please. Hey, you don't need to do that just because she told you to. I don't need to be hit. I just want to be treated civil.
Speaker A
Shut it. You heard the lady. Thank you. I still protest my innocence. This woman ripped me out of my bed, kidnapped me, then let Langton kidnap me, then you killed them all and kidnapped me back.
Speaker A
I'm the victim here. Damn you, John. Would you be so kind as to shut him up?
Speaker A
Don't listen to her. Let me speak my peace. There's no call to hit me, mister. Listen to him. Squirm. Jesus.
Speaker A
Bad dog. That's [laughter] it. Pounding work ain't easy, John. No, but I can see now that it has its rewards.
Speaker A
Well, it's a whole lot easier with a partner. That back there, you didn't need a partner. You needed a whole company behind you.
Speaker A
We did fine. And with Lankton and his men gone, there will be more demand for our service.
Speaker A
Sadie, you know I'm a rancher now mostly. And I know how you're paying for your ranch.
Speaker A
Don't spread that around. Hi, I won't. But it would be good to have you along some more.
Speaker A
Yeah, we'll see. Maybe. Here we are. Grab him and bring him in, Joan. Sure.
Speaker A
You're a [ __ ] and a bastard. We brought in Shane Finley. Great. Let's uh put him in the cell.
Speaker A
[groaning] [groaning] [screaming] Damn you. Just put him on the bed. We're going to watch you swing.
Speaker A
What for? I didn't do anything. Nothing. Yeah. I thought you said you lost him.
Speaker A
Well, I did, but we got him back. Oh, and James Lankton's dead. We killed him.
Speaker A
Why'd you do a thing [clears throat] like that? It was him that robbed me.
Speaker A
Okay, here. There's a decent [clears throat] price on Finley. Mhm. I know. [laughter] You want this money to go to the bank, too?
Speaker A
No, I'll uh I'll take it myself. Okay, Jim Milton. It's John Marston here. All right. Well, if you need any more work, you can find me in town. Or maybe I'll find you.
Speaker A
I'm retired. Sure. Be well, John. Let's go, girl. Poor Paulo finally got a [ __ ] and she gave him the clap.
Speaker A
Excuse me, sir. You work here? No, I just hang around here for fun. Joking. I'm joking. How can I help you, friend?
Speaker A
I know this sounds crazy. Some dumb old coot I know. He's telling me there's these houses you can buy precut.
Speaker A
Not crazy, friend. The very latest in modern convenience. Convenient and costefficient. Which house do you want?
Speaker A
Each one is entirely unique, but also the same. Excuse me. Perhaps I'm going too fast, sir. Do you want to buy a house?
Speaker A
I think so. I'll give you luxurious, entirely unique precut palace. And if you order today, I guarantee your home in a matter of weeks, maybe sooner.
Speaker A
I'll take that one. Ah, yes, we have that one in stock. And I already got credit from the bank.
Speaker A
Oh, fantastic. Now, you write your name here and uh you sign your name there and you will be the proud owner of a factory-built home.
Speaker A
It's that easy. Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Martin. Albert KXquire at your service. You boys give me a minute.
Speaker A
What are you doing here? Everything okay? I'm not sure. Probably fella came by the farm. got attacked on the road. He said the Skinner brothers was hanging around.
Speaker A
Lots of them. I left Uncle Arm to the teeth back at the ranch. Who are these two?
Speaker A
Guns for hire. If there Skinners about, we need them. We ain't got that kind of money.
Speaker A
Charles, do you want to get robbed for your house? No, but hey, these skinners can be nasty. Come on. Mr. Devin, you're [clears throat] with me. Mr. Wayne, this is Milton. Jim Milton.
Speaker A
Sir, good to meet you. We're going to be heading up to the Manzanita Post. Why? The best smith around is that Norwegian fell up there. Yeah, so they say. You boys ready?
Speaker A
Yes, sir. We're ready. Good. Cuz you're about to get shot at over a goddamn hammer.
Speaker A
You want to build a house with a sniper rifle then? I know Old Neil's real well. I'll get you a good deal.
Speaker A
Thank you, sir. All right, then. Let's go buy us some tools. I know the quickest way. Follow me.
Speaker A
say is your friend and I think a bit of both for what it's worth.
Speaker A
Cash is cash. So, it's all the same to me. I saw you getting skittish there, but don't you worry, we're not getting shot at.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah. I know Charles Smith. If he's got cause to be concerned, it's usually good cause.
Speaker A
You got a shotgun messenger sitting right beside you. All right. I suppose you don't know much about robbing caravans.
Speaker A
Not much, I guess. No. Well, nor do I, but I know a thing or two about protecting them. And if a robber sees some strong men sitting up front, two of them guns behind, then they're going to wait for the next set
Speaker A
of fools to come on through. Unless they take the guns to mean they're carrying something valuable.
Speaker A
Instead of pre-cut timber and some tools. What? No. Wait. Trust me on this. You are overthinking it. You hire a gun. You hire piece of mind and a deterrent.
Speaker A
So I'll sit here looking big and scary. You can concentrate on the horses. All right, I'll do just that.
Speaker A
Maybe I've done this kind of thing before and maybe I can handle a weapon, but I'm not so different from you, partner.
Speaker A
I think you might be. People wonder how you can handle it living by your gun, but it's the same as any other occupation, really. Hey, we're taking the next right up towards Manzanita Post.
Speaker A
I wasn't done saying when I get home, I put my gun on the rack and it stays there. I mean, it it it really stays there. I don't even think about it. My mind's on my wife and the little ones.
Speaker A
I'm chopping wood, mending the roof, putting the kids to bed. But when I'm out here, I'm watching the tree line. I got my gun at the ready. and I'm trying to make my employer as comfortable as possible.
Speaker A
That's uh real good of you. You're in good hands. I know this country well.
Speaker A
Good. Am I finally going to meet this tool maker now? Neil's he's an acquired taste, but boy can he work metal. Norwegian, you see? Viking blood.
Speaker A
Fellas up there used to worship a god with a hammer. Guess I figures they'd still be making them. I'm not sure how much English he speaks. Manneil's nose tools.
Speaker A
This is the spot just up ahead. Okay. You boys wait here after you, Mr. Well, get your tools so we can go.
Speaker A
Like I said, Niels is a an acquired taste. Let me do the talking. There he is working away.
Speaker A
Nails. Nails. It's me, Willard Wayne. Okay. This is my associate, Jim Milton. Okay. He heard you was the best best smith around.
Speaker A
He needs some tools. He's building a ranch house up at Beachers Hope. Beachers Hope. Okay.
Speaker A
Have you got any maid? Uh okay. Like I said, an acquired taste, but a heart of gold, and he's the best. You're off someplace, Nails.
Speaker A
Okay, so Milton is uh working with Cakes, Hardwood, and Timber in town. Should I get them to pay you and add it to his bill up there?
Speaker A
Okay, come on. Let's get moving. Okay. All right then. Beachers hope. They've been trying to sell that property for some time, hadn't they?
Speaker A
Took a look at it myself, as it so happens. Seemed like a lot of work. Too much for me. But more power to you. Must have seen something in it I couldn't.
Speaker A
World needs men. Oh, everyone find some cover. God damn. Keep your head down. Who are these people?
Speaker A
It's the you watch it. Just stay down. You okay? What's the barrel? Willer, how you hold up there? Get you out of here, goddamn bastard.
Speaker A
Hold [music] on over there. We got one. [ __ ] They got around. [screaming] I'm not going to be much use to you.
Speaker A
They're pulling back. Come to the All right. You alive for now. Mr. Devon, you okay?
Speaker A
Yes. Is that the last of them? I think so. There's more. They got the tools. They grab Mr. Wayne.
Speaker A
All right, you stay here. Guard the wagons. Charms. Come on. Help. Help me. Look at this. Help. Help me. M. [music] Mr. Miller.
Speaker A
You mean they drew us in? Okay, let's move. He took them down the hill. There's some train yourself travelers.
Speaker A
They're coming up the hill. Watch out for all this. Oh, I don't like the sound of that. Come on. We have more.
Speaker A
They're in our way. You crying yet? Go to work on it. Let's keep moving.
Speaker A
I hope so. They're on top of us. Get him. [groaning and screaming] Damn. Where is he?
Speaker A
Mr. W. We're coming. Kill him. [music] Damn it. We cleared them. Keep going. Where's Wayne?
Speaker A
Let's search these trees. Mr. White. Mr. White. Charles, I found the tools. Now, where's Mr.
Speaker A
All right [ __ ] Jesus. Got to move fast. Come on. Let's go back to the road.
Speaker A
God damn it. A few minutes ago, he was chewing my ear off. He knew what he was getting into.
Speaker A
Did he [panting] get it? Everyone knows except me. Later, John. Charles, you all right carrying him? I got it. There's no use in you getting bloody, too. Is he Is it bad? They opened him up pretty good. Nearly
Speaker A
chopped his head in two. God damn them. Uhhuh. Mr. Wayne didn't make it. Dear, Lord, no. We have to get out of here. You take him in the back wagon. Come on. Help me.
Speaker A
All right, let's get out of here. Oh my lord. What they doing to us?
Speaker A
Nothing. Got it. [groaning] Come on. We got to go. [ __ ] Those goddamn animals.
Speaker A
Okay, John, I'm riding with you. Get us back to beaches. Those were the Skinner brothers.
Speaker A
I told you I was worried. Sadi said something, too. What kind of land have I bought?
Speaker A
It's not the land. Skinners move around. They're here for now. I thought this this kind of bloodshed was meant to be over with.
Speaker A
What was all the nonsense about civilization? This kind of bloodshed is different. Folks have been killed.
Speaker A
Sure. For good reason and bad, but rarely just for the fun of it. That was fun for them.
Speaker A
No, not that time. Most folk don't usually put up with such a fight. Then I hope we put an end to it.
Speaker A
There was a caravan few months back. Massacred. Men, women, children. ended up like Wayne or worse. Damn.
Speaker A
Uncle. Uncle. Uncle, I was you useless sack of crap. I was keeping guard. Really?
Speaker A
What happened? Skinner brothers. Bottom enough. Once this is done, I'll take Mr. Devon back to town and pull Mr. Wayne buried.
Speaker A
Okay. Be careful. I will. But I'm fairly sure we scared him off for now. Bad business. Well, we'll be safe together.
Speaker A
Sure, if you say so. And John, I love you. Don't you forget that. [music] Those plans make any sense?
Speaker A
Oh, sure. Seems easy enough, I think. How hard can it be? But I'll tell you what I think. Just to be safe, I'll do the reading and planning and you do the building.
Speaker A
How did I know you try to weasel out of doing any work? Now, that is plain unfair. It It's inaccurate and not what's going to happen. I'm simply going to use what I've got, which is a brain. Now, you use
Speaker A
what you've got, which is less of a brain. Let's get started. Well, first thing it says the foundation, which involves moving those heavy wooden joists.
Speaker A
Definitely not a job for a man with terminal baggo, unless you want to dig a 6' deep hole for me when the workday is over.
Speaker A
Don't tempt me. Oh, here comes Charles. Maybe he can lighten the mood a little.
Speaker A
How'd you get on? He'll be back, but not for a while. Charles, dear boy. John needs help moving these joists. Now, come on. Get a move on. We got to get started before the rains come.
Speaker A
You're very annoying. He's right. Should get on with this. [music] Heat. Heat. [music] [music] Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
[music] [music] Well, let me have a rule and a saw and a board and I'll cut it. [music] I'll climb up a ladder with a hammer and a nail and I'll nail it.
Speaker A
Well, we work so hard to build a little house together [music] in the snow or the rain or the ice cold wind. Whenever, no matter what the weather, [music] we're together.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] Heat. [music] [music] Heat. [music] [music] [music] Let me have a rule and a song in a [singing] board and I'll cut it. [music] Climb up a ladder with a hammer and a nail and I'll nail it.
Speaker A
Well, we work so hard to [music] build a little house together in the snow [music] or the rain or the ice cold wind. Whenever, no matter any weather, [music] we're together.
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] [music] [music] And I think that's everything. [laughter] John Marston, you have a home.
Speaker A
So do you. Oh, I know. And you, Charles, as long as you'll stay with us.
Speaker A
Thank you, [laughter] gentlemen. To this happy home. Well, at least till this fool gets his woman back.
Speaker A
My darling Abigail, I hope you and Jack are doing well. I remain a fool, and I'm sure [music] I shall die a fool, but I'm trying very hard to be something like the man you deserve. [music] I have done something very silly in an
Speaker A
effort to impress [music] you. That is, I've purchased a home. The land you read about in the newspaper [music] up at Beachers Hope is now ours. And we are going to try our hand at ranching.
Speaker A
[music] Mr. Getty's kindly helped me buy the land. I met Uncle while I was coming out of the bank. And while I know your feelings about him, he has been enormously helpful in his own fashion.
Speaker A
Charles Smith has also appeared and is unsurprisingly [music] a pillar of strength. Together, we've built you a home.
Speaker A
I hope soon to show it to you. [music] I miss you and the boy more than I can express.
Speaker A
Please come back to me. Yours always, John. Uncle, I thought you was Where the hell?
Speaker A
Just one time I hope to find you working just once. Do you believe in reincarnation, John Marston?
Speaker A
No. Well, I hope and pray to whatever is out there that I get to come back as a young so that when you're old and facing death, I can be some two penny slave driver that comes along and hastens your
Speaker A
journey into the grave. This is a fatal condition I got. And I'll give you another fatal condition. We don't get on with things around here and we'll all starve.
Speaker A
Get on with what? Farming, ranching, planting something. The only thing that this land's good for is grazing.
Speaker A
Grazing? Yeah. So, so cows, sheep, goats. Now, goats is easy, but they taste awful.
Speaker A
I don't like goats and cows. I've seen enough cows. Yeah, sheep then. But any livestock, you're going to need a barn.
Speaker A
Barn will take three of us 6 months to build. Oh, you don't build a barn, dumbass.
Speaker A
What do you think this is? 1785. You buy one pre-cut just like the house.
Speaker A
This is the industrial age. The lumber fells all have them. That guy makes me hate the modern world.
Speaker A
Oh, come on. I'll deal with them. I can't move like I used to, man. I never was that fast.
Speaker A
In the black water. Let's go. Ha. Now, this fell probably saw you, thought, "Here's some corn husk idiot.
Speaker A
Some country rude doesn't know a pre-cut home from an outhouse." And I'm going to rob him blind.
Speaker A
I got to respect him for it. Cuz if I saw you walk into my lumber yard, I'd think exactly the same thing.
Speaker A
Thinking about it, I might actually do this on my own. Oh, I can't let you do that, John. Let's get robbed again. Oh, no. You need someone with some sense to negotiate.
Speaker A
And some charm wouldn't hurt either. And that's you, is it? With your famous wave with people.
Speaker A
You're in enough debt as it is. I got to help you all I can.
Speaker A
It's my debt. I'll handle it. Yeah, but if they foreclose on the debt, I'll lose my home. And I do so like it there. You like it too much. You're far too comfortable. Ah, you ain't even got furniture.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Oh, this is him. And how are we? How's little Emily? Emily? I'm sorry. Ava. Um, how are you?
Speaker A
We need a barn. A barn? Of course you do. All them potatoes. We're going to farm livestock.
Speaker A
What's wrong with you? How many Scarface loons you got coming in here buying pre-cut homes?
Speaker A
Hey, here. What you think? Have a look. Maybe that one. Yeah. Or an excellent choice. We have a couple already cutting in stock. I'll have it sent to you in Blackwater.
Speaker A
I'm down at Beachers Hope. I'm sorry. Of course, this is my wife, Jerry. You see, she's uh and it's great seeing you again, you sir. Pleasure as always. Great pleasure. Love your work.
Speaker A
Of course. How are we going to pay for this? Same way we pay for everything.
Speaker A
I just wish I could help you, sir. You've been a good customer and I like you. And David Gettis likes you. This man is very annoying.
Speaker A
Can you just give me a few days? Of course. I really enjoy begging and watching you make a fool of yourself.
Speaker A
Well, John, hey. Is that Sadie Adler? Hey, John. How are you? Well, hello, Uncle. Nice to see you. And you too.
Speaker A
Oh, shut up. You old creep. Listen, Satie, I you got any work? I'm kind of desperate.
Speaker A
Work? How desperate? I need money. A bunch of money. My debt's climbing and I You up for a fight?
Speaker A
Is it legal? It's very legal, but it's also pretty dangerous. With you, it'll be fine. But I wouldn't do it on my own.
Speaker A
I ain't got much choice. All right, then. Come on. Look after him, Sadie. He's a delicate flower underneath.
Speaker A
Tell the bank there's money coming in. And get a crew to help with that barn.
Speaker A
I have it on good authority we can find this bounty at Painted Sky. I know the place.
Speaker A
Okay, I'll follow you. All right. The painted sky tip is pretty fresh, but [music] I don't know how long it'll stay that way. An encyclopedia salesman was up there on the property.
Speaker A
Couldn't find the rancher, but saw a Mexican looking fell hanging around. Now Ramon Cortez is around those parts.
Speaker A
Split up from his gang and stuck in [music] West Elizabeth. It's got to be him. Old up waiting on some out. And we're going to get to him first.
Speaker A
Satie. Hey. So, who is this bounty? Raone Cortez. He's with the Del Lobo [music] gang.
Speaker A
Yeah. You head back down to where we was, New Austin. You're bound to run into them.
Speaker A
Are they Mexicans? Some. And some Californiaifornios and some regular Americans, too. They're a misfit bunch.
Speaker A
Just like we were. And they're friendly, I bet. Charming to a fault. Oh, it's a bad situation out there. Burnings, killings, you name it. Not much law except the sheriff of Tumbleeed. He's making a hell of a go of it, but there ain't much
Speaker A
there to hold back the chaos. It's real wild, that country. That ain't much of an advertisement for the place.
Speaker A
It isn't somewhere I'd vacation, but [music] it's something to behold. If you're inclined, you should take a look.
Speaker A
You know, I had some trouble of my own. That gang you was talking about. Was they the Skinner brothers?
Speaker A
That's them. They ain't nice. Nice weren't what I heard about them. Got a hold of this fell I'd hired. Ah, he didn't die well.
Speaker A
I'm sorry, John. We fought back. We was too slow was all. I wish we'd done better for him.
Speaker A
I'm sure you did the best you could. I've heard. Well, the kinds of things they do to man. [music] unspeakable things. I hope that's the last you see of them.
Speaker A
Me, too. But if not, I mean to be ready. That is wise. You want to hear something? I built my ranch house.
Speaker A
Good for you. Did you make it out of straw bales? No. It's one of them pre-cut ones. Me and Charles put it up and Uncle watched and barked the odd order at us. It's solid though. Real good and sturdy.
Speaker A
Woo! John Marson's got his own house. You should come see it. It's good country, Sadie. Despite all that, I try not to fratinize too much with employees. You know, it sends the wrong message. Oh, that's what I am now. An
Speaker A
employee. Mhm. That's what the bank says. Well, then I guess our fraternizing days are done.
Speaker A
Now, be a good boy and get this bounty for me. Yes, ma'am. Hey, down build down.
Speaker A
Whoa. This is painted sky up here. Looks quiet. Raone Cortez, you better be here.
Speaker A
Let's get down and take a look. You search that barn. I'll take the main house.
Speaker A
Holler if you get him. Raone Cortez, we've come for you. Raone Cortez, we've come for you. Come calmly and nobody will stop.
Speaker A
Don't fight it. Just drink. You got him. I think so. He just tried to kill me.
Speaker A
That's about right. Yeah, that's him. Come on. Let's get him to the sheriff. Come on, Raone. Let's go for a ride.
Speaker A
We're going to roads. Roads. It's different there now. That hurt. You want money? Gold? My men are meeting me at Dubberry Creek. Take me there. I'll pay you good. Better than any bounty.
Speaker A
Oh, shut up. Great SC. This place still gives me the creeps. Hit your horse up here. [music] Howdy partner.
Speaker A
Bring Cortez around the front for me, will you? I'll get them ready for you.
Speaker A
Come on. I'll give you $100 to kill that [ __ ] 200. 300 for her head. Be quiet, Mr. Sheriff. Mr. Sheriff, we got Raone Cortez.
Speaker A
Cortez? Sure did. Well done. How? Found him hiding in a pile of [ __ ] That's about right. How you doing, Ramon? Oh, just fine, mister.
Speaker A
Hey, how much you want? How much any of you want? I'll give $2,000 in gold to whichever one of you sets me free.
Speaker A
I'm afraid it's a bit late for that, Ramon. You've been a real bad boy. Me and my boys are going to ride you into Sandin and watch him hang you.
Speaker A
[laughter] Okay. Okay. If you think so, mister. Oh, I know. So, Ramon, take a seat. Help me guard them till my boys arrive and we can get them out of here. Sure.
Speaker A
Spent years cleaning up this town. Last thing I need is fools like this thinking they can take us back to the bad old days. Well, you did a good job.
Speaker A
[laughter] [music] Oh, Sheriff Thomas. Sheriff Thomas. We want our friend back. You got about 10 seconds, Sheriff Thomas, [music] before we kill all of you fools. One.
Speaker A
Don't be a dumb bastard. Two. This is a good town now. Three. Let him cover it, boys.
Speaker A
[groaning and screaming] Tail. Go. Let's run these out of town. Why ain't he dead yet?
Speaker A
You're running scared. He's going to die. I guess for What was that? Come on.
Speaker A
Jail. The jail. They blew my jail apart. He's gone. He's gone. Well, we brought him in. Now pay what's owed.
Speaker A
He ain't here now, madam. I don't get paid unless he makes it to Sanden.
Speaker A
You want to get shocked today as well as rob mister? Are you threatening me?
Speaker A
Why would we bother threatening you? Get him back and I'll get your money and another $50 besides.
Speaker A
$100. 75. I can't go higher. Done. Let's go. Jim Milton. Mount up. You're a good Philly. Where are we going to find him?
Speaker A
He said there were men meeting him at Deubberry Creek. Let's start by looking there.
Speaker A
Sure. You've had some bad luck with bounties being stole off of you. And you're about to have some bad luck with getting punched in the face. He got stole off both of us.
Speaker A
Someone must have talked. One of his boys, maybe. We were sitting ducks waiting all that time in that gym cracked jail house.
Speaker A
Yeah. Yes, we were. I don't like it. The sheriff's done a lot to bring roads into line since the time of the Grays and Braithweights, but clearly he ain't done enough.
Speaker A
So, you think we can trust him? Yeah, he'll pay up when we come back with Cortez. He's a decent fella.
Speaker A
If we come back with Cortez, we're coming back with him. Don't you worry about that.
Speaker A
It's an odd thing, isn't it? We'll take $200 from a sheriff who might be crooked himself to go get a bounty. But we won't take $2,000 from an outlaw just to let him go.
Speaker A
If that kind of offer is tempting to you, then go right ahead. But not when you're on one of my jobs.
Speaker A
I never said I was tempted by it. I just said it was an odd thing. How we take money from one but not the other.
Speaker A
Everyone's got to choose what they're loyal to. Themselves, God, the state. If a bounty hunter wants to last, the loyaltyy's got to be to the one that's issuing the bounties. Plain and simple.
Speaker A
I got a reputation for honest work. So, everyone with a price on their head deserves it, you think?
Speaker A
Sure. No, I don't know. Usually, if I got into who deserved what, second guessed every poster, I'd tear out all my hair before I put a rope on anyone.
Speaker A
If the price is high enough, you got to trust there's a reason they said it.
Speaker A
I hope that rationale works out for all of us. Hold up. Down there. Fire. I'd wager that's them. Stay on the road. Let's find a good vantage point.
Speaker A
up here. Come on. I think there's an old watermill by the creek bed. There it is. Keep some distance. We need to take a good look at them before we do anything.
Speaker A
Hold. Let's go up. They must be camping down there. Why are they hanging around?
Speaker A
Probably waiting for a boat. There's supposed to be a storm coming through, so maybe that's delayed them, perhaps. So, what do we do now?
Speaker A
I'm going to go get him. You? Me? You just cover me. I ain't getting you killed out there.
Speaker A
But it's okay for you. I don't want to die. And besides, those bastards don't look that tough.
Speaker A
They look asleep as far as I can tell. I'm going to go. You sure about this? Just don't seem right.
Speaker A
This is my show, John Marston. Do as you're goddamn told. and shoot whale. Hey, damn it.
Speaker A
I got this. [ __ ] [music] Wish I got out of here already. You all get down here.
Speaker A
I'm coming. Oh, damn it. Shoot. Okay, they're still alive. Let's see what we do about that. Go on.
Speaker A
Get the B. Get there. Push up. [screaming] Let's go. Do it already. Get him the bridge.
Speaker A
This hurts. Stay with me. Come on. Take it down there. Ridgeline. Look out. You okay?
Speaker A
Shoot the bastard. You going to come here? I got to come there. I didn't kill him. There he is in the boat. We got to clear that base. He's rowing out of here.
Speaker A
Kill him. Cortez. Cortex, you ain't getting away from here. You got him. Make him turn around. [music] I want to die right now, Cortez.
Speaker A
[laughter] The day anyway. So, you really want me to shoot you? You might get lucky in court. Get over here.
Speaker A
All right. All right, amigo. I'm coming. Try anything clever, you're going to get shot.
Speaker A
Oh, hold your horses, Chica. Get out of there. I said good. Out of there. Easy. [screaming] Easy, girl.
Speaker A
Oh, you gave up easy a long time ago. Look at that. Hey, look out. There's more of them coming.
Speaker A
Hey, shut your goddamn mouth. We're here, amigo. Hold on. They keep coming. All right.
Speaker A
Anymore? Are we done? We might just be. Son of a [ __ ] Well, that's that. Help me load this fool on the horse.
Speaker A
A lot of crazy bastards. Seems Mexico is a tough place. Too tough for you, John Marston. I'd stay well clear.
Speaker A
Oh, I mean to, Mrs. Adler. I'm glad you made a friend. It's about time we collected this bounty.
Speaker A
Second time lucky. What' you think, Cortez? You got any more surprises up your sleeve? You You're a dead woman and you are a dead man.
Speaker A
But the loss will not forgive this. Wherever you hide, we will find you and we will kill you. You and anyone who is close to you.
Speaker A
I preferred it when you was offering money. Oh, you want money? Hey, take my money.
Speaker A
I got gold, lady. But you was just saying you was going to kill me.
Speaker A
Oh, you let me go. I'll forget about all this. You see, Ramon, what we got here is a trust issue.
Speaker A
Oh, I'm good for it. You're tied up on a horse about to be taken to Sandon to hang. You ain't good for anything.
Speaker A
Listen, I swear. Of course, cuz all you can do is swear. But you're just saying anything you think might get you out of this, Ramon.
Speaker A
I couldn't trust you to pay me. I couldn't trust you not to kill me. Hell, I couldn't even trust you to kill me if that's what we agreed.
Speaker A
What the hell are you talking about? I got gold, woman. Mister gold. $5,000. Well, I hope you left it to someone in your will, cuz you ain't going to find much use for it in the short time you
Speaker A
got left. I damn you, woman. Damn you. Oh, I've been damned a long time, my friend. [ __ ] Relax, mister. We ain't got far to go.
Speaker A
Oh, you made a big mistake. Both of you. You should have took the money. You should have taken it. Now, now we're going to come for you. I promise you that. We're going to come for you.
Speaker A
Well, I hope they know just where to find me because I'll enjoy the fight. I like the fighting, Raone. The fighting and the killing.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Here we are back again. Looks like Get him down. The sheriff better move him quick this time.
Speaker A
Big mistake. Real big mistake. I'll see you again. We got him, Sheriff. Well, you got him.
Speaker A
I knew you'd be back, Raone. You just can't get enough of me. Put him in the wagon for me, would you?
Speaker A
How's the jail? Needs to get fixed up since this nice man blew a hole in it. Me and the boys will ride them to Sandon right away this time. Come along, Cortez.
Speaker A
Sheriff Boo, before you go. I'll pay you when I deliver them. Plus $75. Exactly. Now, goodbye. Let's go, boys.
Speaker A
I'll see you soon, amigos. Shut up. Thanks for this, Joan. Will you send my money to the bank for me?
Speaker A
Of course. Supposed to be retired from this. This nothing. Just a simple arrest. Money for old rope.
Speaker A
If you say so. See you around, partner. Okay, girl. Stay here. How was your holiday?
Speaker A
I was making money. And to think you call me lazy. You've done a great job.
Speaker A
Well, that crew did help. Build a house, a barn. Look at this place. I can't believe it. Thank you.
Speaker A
Thank you both. This calls for a drink. Young miss at dancing school is taught the menu to tread. Young miss at dancing school is taught the menu to tread. But we go better when we brought our fore to
Speaker A
cat head. Come bustle bustle drink about and let us marry be. Our can is full.
Speaker A
We'll pump it out and then all hands to see. When horn and hounds the forest rend his pack, the huntsman cheers. When horns and hounds the forest is packed, the huntsman cheers as loud as when we send a broadside to Mount Sears. As loud
Speaker A
as when we send a broadside to Mount Sears, come drink about and let us out and our hands to see what's [laughter] got at sea. We spend on shore on sweethearts and our wives. What got sea? We spend on shore at sweethearts
Speaker A
and our wives. And then my boys sail for more. Thus passes sailor's lives. And then my boys s for more thleoo.
Speaker A
[laughter] H [laughter] John, get out here. Uncle's gone. He's fine. Let me sleep. Get out here now.
Speaker A
[sighs] That fat man will be fine. No, he won't. Skinners, you think? Of course. My guess is they weren't that way. [music] But my other guess is they know we're coming after them.
Speaker A
What choice do we have? None. We just got to keep our wits about us.
Speaker A

Speaker A
Hush. Up here. You see that blood? Dear Lord, they've gone up towards tall trees. Come on, John. Look, we should agree on something. If it's really bad, this might not be about saving it.
Speaker A
What the hell are you talking about? If it's really bad, it might be better to stop the pain.
Speaker A
Jesus. You mean to I mean, you can live a week without a scalp, but it ain't a good week. A gut wound, you can live a month, but it's horrible. What they've done to him might have killed him already with only hurt

Speaker A
Come on. You're a survivor. Easy. Easy. Okay. You'll be fine. You think they'll be back?
Speaker A
Maybe, but I doubt it. We must have killed most of them. This is your land.
Speaker A
Was it theirs once? I don't think so. I met a fellow at the Skinners wrote down about 2 years ago.
Speaker A
They're just angry men on a rampage and we got in their way. Sort of like we used to be. Yeah, exactly like we used to be.
Speaker A
[clears throat] Maybe we should take up torture. We got Uncle Singing instead of torture.
Speaker A
We're going to be safe here, John. H you your family. You all be safe.

Yes, you'll see it better when you get older. It's tough at your age, just land and light. But to me, it's it's it's life.
Speaker A
I can't explain it. Okay. What are you going to be when you're older? I want to travel, see the world.
Speaker A
That's a good idea. Then become a lawyer and and help people. That's not a lawyer. That's a Are you laughing at me?
Speaker A
No never. Just whatever you do, do it better than me and your mom. We had it however we had it. We didn't make the most of it until now.
Speaker A
Okay. Okay. This is a real good fishing spot. Folk always say that and hours later they've caught nothing.
Speaker A
Ain't you just the leading authority on everything? Well, ain't it so? Well, maybe in this case it's true. I hear there's some real big fish in here.

How'd you know she was? We I saw her. I thought I Well, I'm [laughter] so happy. I'm so happy.
Speaker A
Come on. [laughter] But tell me about you, darling. No, armed to the teeth like that.
Speaker A
I'm a working woman, Abigail. I'm a bounty hunter, bodyguard. I protect the gold prospectors up in the hills. I'm thinking of starting my own transportation business. I was thinking maybe if John wanted to earn some money.
Speaker A
My husband, he ain't looking for that kind of work. I took on a lot of debt when we bought this place.
Speaker A
And you were working for her to pay it off. Yes, sometimes I was. But I thought we said no more of that.
Speaker A
No, you said that. What else am I going to do? I'm a goddamn man.
Speaker A
It's legal work, Abigail. And I never got killed. It's hunting down fools for the government. Easy. Even Jack could do it.
Speaker A
Don't you put those stupid ideas in the boy's head. He's going to do something better than this.
Speaker A
Like what? Writing silly stories? I'm sorry, Abigail. Really, I am. I just thought if you wanted to earn some money.
Speaker A
How many times do I got to bury you, John Marston? Never. You ain't never burying me. It's legal work that I can handle.
Speaker A
There's a There's something else, [snorts] Micah. Bounty hunting is one thing, but godamn Micah.
Speaker A
I heard he was up country or some fellow who sounded just like him. Killed a family bar a little girl who escaped.
Speaker A
Leave Micah alone. Listen, I'm sorry, Abigail. I came by cuz I was riding by chasing a fella and I thought John wanted to earn some extra money.
Speaker A
[sighs] What is it, Abigail? We need the money. Some fella robbed his business, you know, an accountant or something. Came down from roads, I believe.
Speaker A
How much does it pay? It pays good. The soft [clears throat] ones usually do.
Speaker A
Okay, then, I guess. But Micah, no. All right, John Marson, let's go. Just you bring him back to me. You here?
Speaker A
Of course. You want to work? Let's do it. Get your horse and let's go.
Speaker A
You ready? Follow me. We're going up into tall trees. Hey, it's nice of you to stop by and see the place. Finally.
Speaker A
Abigail's back with the boy. You must be so pleased, John. And the ranch, you were right. It's really something.
Speaker A
I think I'm going to ask her to uh marry me. I got a ring. It was It was Arthur's. [snorts] I found it in a bundle of things that I've kept.
Speaker A
You're marrying Abigail. Or it asking her at least. Oh my. I never took you for a romantic.
Speaker A
No, me neither. But it's [laughter] something I thought about and I I think I know I want it.
Speaker A
Okay. I guess I thought you were married already long ago. No, not really. Not officially.
Speaker A
Well, I'm real happy for you, Joan. Being married, it made me real happy. We're cutting off the main track up here. A man's in need a post.
Speaker A
So, we're coming up on where he's been sent. This [ __ ] accountant Marshall Thurwell been trying to live like an outdoorsman camping out here.
Speaker A
He's lucky the Skinner brothers ain't found him. Well, they might have up here. [music] Must be it. Get down. Let's take a look around. Something's been here.
Speaker A
This This looks looks like a bear or something came through here. [snorts] Fella left in quite a hurry.
Speaker A
He Well, he was from the south, whoever he is. Then maybe he's our man. If you ain't become some bear's lunch.
Speaker A
Yeah, it looks like they went this way. Him or the bear? Both of them. [snorts] That's that way, I'd say.
Speaker A
Great. Damn it, I lost the trail. Can you see which way he might have gone?
Speaker A
Okay, I think I got him. Follow me. [music] Yeah, this way. It keeps going through here.
Speaker A
There's a cabin up here. Easy. My god. Crap. That ain't pretty. Oh boy. That our fella maybe, but looks more like a local farmer to me or what's left of one.
Speaker A
Is he gone? You, Marshall Thorwell? That I am, ma'am. I'm here to arrest you on behalf of the state of Le Moine.
Speaker A
You're wanted for theft, fraud, and avoiding arrest. [music] Is the monster still out there?
Speaker A
No, I think he's gone. Come out. Come on. Don't shoot. Keep walking. Come on. I'm coming.
Speaker A
Look out. [screaming] Okay. [ __ ] I think he's gone. Monster. Thorill, get out of here before I come in there and kill you myself.
Speaker A
I'm coming. Pathetic. Waiting to see if that animal ate us. No, ma'am. If that weren't it?
Speaker A
Yes, it were. Come here. Come here, Thorwell. Call yourself a man. Well, it's like Abigail says that's one word for you.
Speaker A
I can't believe we didn't kill that B. gave him something to remember us by at least you all right, John?
Speaker A
Yeah. Just we always find a way to almost get killed, don't we? Mhm. That's kind of the problem. Maybe it wasn't right of me to bring you along on those really heavy things. a family man and all. Seeing all this,
Speaker A
I don't know if I can do it again. I'm my own man, ain't I? I get to make those calls. I needed the money.
Speaker A
You are your own man. Sure, but I'm my own woman. And I get to say who I ride with. And I don't know if your ranch and your kid and your wife are things I want to be worrying about when I hear a
Speaker A
gunshot. Yeah, fair enough. Those are fine new clothes, by the way. Yeah, I spend my cash on Who's this up here?
Speaker A
Is that Are you Satie Adler? The bounty hunter. Get off the road. Look, I got great respect for you professionally, but if that's Marshall Thor there, uh me and my partner would like to split the reward.
Speaker A
You're doing what? Get off the road. We was thinking you might need protection. I look like I need protection.
Speaker A
Uh me and my partner, we're dead selling splitting that reward. And if not, well, we Here. Don't mess around, do you? Let's go.
Speaker A
Them bastards was green. If we didn't get him, someone else would have. This is a cold business, ain't it?
Speaker A
Yep. It does require a certain level of detachment. You ever think if it's right?
Speaker A
No. I just see orders on the wall and I try and fill them. And if there's other bastards after the same orders as I am, I get competitive. It's called industry.
Speaker A
And if you ain't noticed, everyone is out there doing it. I guess they are.
Speaker A
You said earlier you knew something about Micah. You going to tell me what you know? Are you sure you want to hear about him?
Speaker A
Ain't all that back at your ranch enough? If I find him, I will handle it.
Speaker A
Your bounties or transport work? That's your decision to bring me along or not. But but Micah, that's something we Well, I I got to do with or without you, Satie. You know what I mean?
Speaker A
Okay. Okay, I know. Well, I'm hearing things. A lot of things still. Mostly just whispers, but I think you might be pretty close.
Speaker A
When you hear something real, you bring it to me. Okay, I'll bring it to you. But you think about if this is what you really want. Everything you can get and everything you could lose.
Speaker A
I understand all of that. Of course I do. Here, put him down. Go on. Get home to your wife. I'll let you know if I hear anything about Micah.
Speaker A
You need a hand taking him in. Him? No, I'm fine. You sure? Yeah. I'll send your share to the bank when I get paid.
Speaker A
Thank you. You better keep hiding. Be quiet. No, you be quiet. Oh, I'm having a moment of repose. I'll tell you what, woman. Was a damn sight more peaceful around here before you came back? You're just lucky I'm a soft
Speaker A
touch. I should sling you out by your ear. Ah, you always was a cold-hearted lizard of a woman.

Speaker A
I paid our debts with that money. I uh I don't want to talk about that money and no more that it's over, Abigail.
Speaker A
I'm sure. Then get to work on this ranch you own raising your boy. Yes, ma'am.
Speaker A
Are you being sarcastic, John Marston? Me? Never. Good. Anyway, I thought you like this place.
Speaker A
No, John, I don't like it. I love it. It's home. How are you, Mrs. Marston?
Speaker A
I got a useless husband and an angry son, and I'm the happiest woman that ever was.
Speaker A
You stay safe now. Uh-huh. How you been, friend? Mary Beth. John. John, is it you?
Speaker A
How the hell are you? I'm very well. How are you? I'm good. Yeah. Abigail, is she?
Speaker A
She's well. Jack's growing up. Sweet boy. Not anymore. But but he's okay. How are you?
Speaker A
I'm well right now. Silly romances, but it's fun. Oh, it's such fun. Do you?
Speaker A
My pen name is Leslie Dupont. Sort of French, sort of ambiguous. The books are unambiguously awful, but they sell.
Speaker A
Good for you. I'm so proud. I still think about you all. That was that was quite a time.
Speaker A
Yeah, Arthur. Arthur saved my life before he passed. I don't talk about him much, but I think about him.

Me, too. And Dutch ran [snorts] off someplace. All aboard. Such a shame. Last call.

Oh, anyway, John, I better get on my train. It was really lovely seeing you.

Welcome to my store. How can I help you? [laughter] Are you serious? Yeah. Beats the old butcher's table, doesn't it?
Speaker A
So, what can I get for you today, sir? How the hell are you? Pretty good. Got some land in Great Plains.
Speaker A
Trying to get a small ranch going. Really? Wow. Good for you. Staying out of trouble then? I wouldn't go that far, but I'm trying.
Speaker A
This sure has brought the memories flooding back. Not all of them good. [laughter] John, nice to see you again. How have you been?
Speaker A
Not bad. You? Oh, very well. So, I I meant to ask last time, are Abigail and Jack uh okay?

You're still with them? Yeah. Yeah, they're doing fine. Jack's nearly a young man now.
Speaker A
Oh, good. Good. I'm glad to hear that. I'm glad. He always like those two.
Speaker A
Anyway, what can I do you for? Hey, who are you talking to? Just an old friend.
Speaker A
Well, have you tided those shelves? Yes, dear. Who's that? That's my wife, Ethel. A wonderful woman. Changed my life.
Speaker A
I try not to think too much about the um old days. Mr. Marston, I was wondering if you'd be back.
Speaker A
How you been? Oh, ticking along. Where is it? Your base now again? I was uh thinking I might send you a letter. Some things I wouldn't want Ethel to uh overhear.
Speaker A
It's a [sighs and gasps] place called Beacher Hope in Great Plains. West Elizabeth. Okay, good. Good. So, what can I help you with today?
Speaker A
Yes, dear. This coffee is as bitter as Wormwood. Okay, I'll make a fresh pot for you. I just have a customer right now. I love that woman. You know, before her, I was married briefly to a lady called
Speaker A
Michelle, but she was an absolute nightmare. Seems you've [sighs] landed on your feet this time.
Speaker A
So, are you after anything in particular? Hey, you're back. How are things? Not too bad.
Speaker A
I have to ask. Do you still see any of the others? I left when things Well, you know how it was. I heard about Arthur.
Speaker A
Yeah, that didn't end well. I'm in touch with some of them. Uncle Charles Sadi.
Speaker A
Really? Please send my regards even to Mrs. Adler. And Dutch, is he uh even alive?
Speaker A
I don't know if he is. I sure hope I never lay eyes on him again.
Speaker A
Sad how it all turned out. Anyway, no point dwelling on it now, is there? What can I help you with today?
Speaker A
Is that him again? What does he want now? Him? He just popped in to say hello.
Speaker A
You stay out of that filthy business. Do you hear me? Of course, dear. I overdid [sighs] it on the rem and told her more than I should.
Speaker A
I can still hear you. Sorry, dear. Was it just a social call then? John John.
Speaker A
John Maren. Miss Tilly. That's Mrs. Tilly to you. How are you? I'm okay. How are you? Congratulations.
Speaker A
Thank you. I'm well. Well, and happy. And I miss you and Abigail. She's well. Jack's well. All is well. I think I never thanked you for what you did.
Speaker A
Oh, there's the trolley. I still think about all of you all the time. My life, it's different now.
Speaker A
Mine, too. But I still see a bunch of Charles and uncle and Sadie. So, not quite so different as Abigail would like.
Speaker A
I married a lawyer. He's a fine man. We live in a house. Us, too.
Speaker A
I'm sorry. I've got to go. I'm late. But can I write to you and Abigail someplace? Yeah, we're up at Beachers Hope over in Great Plains, West Elizabeth.
Speaker A
I'll try. Be well, John Marston. Excuse me. Hello. Didn't I meet you a long time ago?
Speaker A
I don't know. Was uh Arthur Arthur Morgan? Oh, yes. My name is Rangefall. And now I'm Jim Milton. John Marston. Oh.
Speaker A
is Arthur. Uh, he passed away long time ago. Oh, I'm sorry. He saved my life. He gave his.
Speaker A
That doesn't surprise me one bit. And you? I know you had tough times. Ah, well, my people aren't really a tribe. We're just a bunch of families, I suppose. But we're in Canada now. It's uh What are you doing here?
Speaker A
I I don't really know. My son, I suppose. Oh, he fell. I I know. I'm sorry. I've got a son. I'm very sorry. Oh, it was a long time ago now.
Speaker A
Well, it's good to see you, Mr. Marston. And you? [laughter] [music] guess we're just about done, my friend.
