In a Valley of Violence (2016)

[bunniefuu]

Hello!

Over here!

Whoo!

Please help me!

Help!

Whoo!

Can you hear me?

I see you!

Ah, ah, the lord

has answered my prayers.

Bless you, my son,

bless you. Good dog.

Ah, that's me poor mule here.

She's hurt,

she's hurt really bad.

How long you been

walkin' her like that?

Ah, not far.

Well, if she's in pain,

you oughta put her down.

Nah.

I don't think I could do that.

She was good to you.

It's only right.

No sense in lettin' her suffer.

No, you misunderstand me.

See, it's not that I lack the

conviction to sh**t this animal.

The lord is himself would give

me the strength for that.

No, it's more it's a,

it's a matter of practicality.

See, do you believe

in god, my son?

Ah, well, me and this mule here,

we do the lord's work

in traveling

all across this land

preaching the good word.

And over that hill

there down into the valley

is the town of Denton.

That's our next stop.

You familiar?

Ah, let me give you a little

insight into our situation.

Denton is a town that

is run by sinners.

Just like many of the others

that we visited.

No church, no religion left

to speak of.

Many of its residents have...

They've lost their way.

So you see, traveler,

if I cannot get this

g*dd*mn mule

over that g*dd*mn hill,

then I cannot heal

those poor souls

with the gospel of our lord

Jesus Christ, praise his name.

I've been praying,

and I've been praying all day

for the lord

to heal my troubles.

I've asked him,

and I know that he wants me

to help those people.

I know that he wants me to save

those that need to be saved,

especially the women.

They are ripe with sin.

So I asked the lord,

I said "do not forsake them,

and do not forsake me.

Send me someone to help

get over that hill."

Sure enough,

he answered my prayers.

Now, I'm afraid I'm gonna be

needin' that horse of yours.

So please, my son,

kindly climb down.

Hand over the reins

for the lord.

Did you not hear me, boy?

Aren't you listening?

No, father.

I don't believe I was.

Ah! Ah! Get it off!

Get it off me!

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Get her off of me!

I stopped listening to men

like you a long time ago.

Don't... don't sh**t. Don't sh**t.

Quiet.

Don't... don't sh**t.

Be quiet!

Or you'll be speaking

to your lord directly.

Now, I'm willing to make you a trade.

A trade?

Yeah, I ain't no thief.

I'll trade you your life

for these b*ll*ts and whatever water

you've got left there in your canteen.

Considering the circumstances

that seems more than fair.

Unless, as a man of god,

you don't fear death

and you're content

in your convictions

and prepared to meet your maker

right here and right now,

in which case,

I will oblige you.

Because I'm not a thief,

but I am a k*ller.

And I've k*lled

better men than some drunk

wanderin' around pretending

to preach the word of god.

So are you prepared?

You got confidence

in your convictions

or you wanna make a deal?

Deal.

What?

Yes, I want to make a deal.

All right good.

'Cause I promised my dog

I wasn't gonna k*ll

anybody on this trip,

and I don't wanna break

my promise here today.

Hey, now, the trade wasn't

for the whiskey.

No, it wasn't.

There.

Ah, you!

You say there's a town

right beyond that Ridge?

Well, you give this mule

a little rest,

he'll get ya there just fine.

But I don't ever

wanna see you again.

I hate charlatans.

I want you to stay right here...

Till you learn

to respect your animal.

g*dd*mn you.

You'll pay for this.

The devil is waiting

for men like you.

He's waiting!

Well, if the devil's

looking for me,

you can tell him

I'm headed to Mexico.

He can meet me there.

Come on.

Hyah!

That's all there is.

I know! I'm thirsty too.

Sh...

I'd say the border's

about 10 days away.

What do you think?

We'd waste a lot of time going

around that valley...

And there's no guarantee

there's water on the other side.

Uh, it's a straight shot

right through that town.

Oh, Jesus.

I don't know about you, but...

Oh, fresh meal and a warm bath

sound pretty good

right about now.

Cathy'd roll her eyes if

she could see us now, huh?

All dirty and starvin'.

You can't live on flies alone,

you know.

Hm.

We gotta keep our heads down,

okay?

No trouble. You gotta be

on your best behavior.

I know. I know.

Same goes for me.

Looks like that priest

was right.

God must've packed up

and left with the rest of them.

Come on.

sh*t.

How would someone spend

an hour in this town?

Huh?

If your name was dollar bill,

is that where you'd be?

All right, listen.

You stay here with lady.

If I'm wrong and he comes back,

you give a bark.

You got it?

Okay, I'll take that as a yes.

Now, gentlemen, gentlemen,

please allow me to keep

your attention

for just a few moments more.

I came all this way,

and I must admit that I have

indeed saved the best for last.

Although I am disappointed you

did not take to the lilac powder

or the ladies elixir.

I am certain

these next two items

are just what

you're looking for.

Men of your ilk require

something very special,

very special indeed.

And if I can't see to that, well,

then my name isn't William t. Baxter.

Now, I know that sounds

braggadocious of me to say,

but as you can no doubt see,

I'm quite confident

in what I have to offer.

What'll it be?

I'm looking for a man

named dollar bill.

Oh, uh, DB's shop's

across the street.

Yeah, sign on his door

says he's out.

Well, 2:00 he takes a break

to feed his pigs.

Now, it's almost 3:00.

You should be able

to catch him then.

Can I get you a drink?

Some water.

Just water?

Yeah, an a...

A bowl?

You want the water in a bowl?

The bowl's for my dog.

Bowl is for the dog.

These here are the finest

handguns currently available,

the greatest equalizers,

45 calibers designed

by Samuel Colt himself,

24-karat gold inlaid,

raised elephant ivory grip.

And when I tell you

that the front sight

is accurate enough to pick

a flea off a dog's a*s...

I do not exaggerate.

Now, I can let you have them

for only $30 apiece...

Or 50 for the pair.

Now gentlemen, please,

before you speak,

that isn't just a bargain.

That is a steal.

Quite frankly,

there's no better revolver

on the market today,

and I lay my reputation on it.

As you can imagine,

being in the industry

that I'm in,

my reputation, gentlemen,

is everything.

You never mind your...

Reputation.

So you're saying that this...

This is the best g*n

on the market?

Yes, sir, I say it with pride.

Well, nobody west of Texas

will be able to handle it

better than me.

Hell, that is nice.

What do ya say, boys?

Oh, Harris, you even see that?

No, can't say I did.

I almost put one

right between your eyes there.

What about you, Roy?

Did you see anything?

I ain't seen nothing.

Tubby, I know

you didn't see sh*t

'cause you were too busy thinking what

you were gonna have for lunch, right?

Hey!

Stranger!

You ever seen anybody

so neat with a p*stol before?

Hey! Pard!

You deaf or something?

I'm talking to you.

You think this thing's loaded?

What do you say we find out?

You should be careful

who you point a g*n at.

So... do we have a deal here?

Thirty dollars?

Do I look like I have $30?

You take a look

around this town.

Nobody buying nothing from you.

Do you, uh...

Do you know what

they call this place?

Hmm?

They call it...

"Valley of violence."

Now, why don't you pack up

before you find out why.

Move.

Now...

What were you saying to me?

You answer me

when I talk to you.

What's the matter?

Cat got your tongue

all of a sudden?

Well, you look like a bum.

You smell like a bum too.

Jesus...

That's one ugly scar you got.

Hey, fellas, I don't think

this bum knows where he is...

And you must not know

who I am neither.

Wanna find out?

Huh?

You talk too much,

whoever you are.

All right! Anyone who wants

to see a fight

better get out here right now!

I'm about to show you

what it's like when you run

your mouth at Gilly Martin!

You gonna get him, Gilly?

Oh, tubby,

I'm gonna get him so good

he's gonna be looking to you

for tips on places to sit.

Ellen. Ellen!

Sweetheart!

Where the hell are you?

Get out here and see this.

You are definitely

gonna wanna see

what I am about to do

to this man.

What's going on?

What's all this hubbub?

What's going on?

Baby, some dried up d*ck licker

came in town this morning,

and I'm about to teach him

a lesson

on how things work around here.

You gonna fight him?

Oh, I'm gonna beat him bad,

baby.

It's time to watch

your man go to work.

Oh, I love a good fight.

Y'all could learn something

out here today. Yes!

This here...

This is my town.

Anybody who don't know it,

you better take notice!

Are you gonna face me

like a man or what?

No offense, mister...

I don't know you

and I don't think

nothing cross about you,

but that shot is on the house

if you will get out of here.

N-now, don't worry, everyone!

You are gonna see a fight!

Get him, baby!

Be a man!

I know what the problem is.

Now I know.

You're afraid I'm just gonna

pull my p*stol,

lean into you.

All right, well, listen.

Nobody here is sh**ting

nobody today.

No g*ns.

This here, this is a fair fight.

No jumping in neither.

All right?

Man to man.

Tubby, you hang on to this.

Don't eat it.

There, now you have it.

All right, come on.

Let's get this over with.

Everybody's waitin'.

Son of a b*tch.

All right!

Five dollars to the winner!

What do you say to that?

Do you even have $5?

Now, wait just a minute.

What...

Is that?

Is that... that your dog?

Come here, pooch.

Come here.

Oh, dear.

- Hey!

- Here he comes now, Gilly!

Get away from my dog.

Is that your wife?

Roy, I've seen you with

some long-in-the-tooth ladies,

but this one here

takes the cake.

You started this.

I'm gonna finish it too.

I don't care where I am,

and I don't care

who you think you are.

Men like you don't scare me.

You understand?

What's the matter?

Cat got your tongue?

I don't want any trouble

with y'all.

Put it away. Put it away!

Harris, he just laid Gilly out

in front of half the town.

We can't just...

Yes, we can.

He's right. It was a fair fight.

It's settled.

What do you think the marshal's gonna say

when he finds out we didn't do nothing?

I imagine he'll be upset.

We'll deal with it.

Aw!

He just spit on him!

He just spit on Gilly!

Get up, kid.

How's the pigs, bill?

Oh, my god! Gilly!

He shouldn't have

threatened me or my dog.

A man can only take so much.

Yes, sir.

How much for all this?

No charge.

I'm not a thief.

How much?

I insist.

What, you afraid of me?

Yes, sir.

That's...

Tell you what. There's a man

out there who owes me $5.

When he wakes up,

you take all this

outta that, okay?

Thank you.

What are ya'll lookin' at?

Go back inside!

You should be ashamed

of yourselves!

Oh, he's leaking.

Wait. Why are we outside?

He's leaking! Ah!

Clean him. Clean him.

He's leaking.

Come on. Come on.

Get up. Get up.

Gilly!

- Ugh!

- Don't break my hat!

Come on. Get up. Oh!

There we go. Okay.

Sit down.

Don't worry.

We're okay.

Comin! I'm coming!

Ugh! I'm sorry.

I fell asleep.

My sister should be down here.

I don't know where she is.

I'll let her have it.

Ellen!

Hi. What can I do for you?

You got any, uh, hot water?

Sure do.

You want a bath?

Yeah.

Oh, my goodness! Who is this?

Hi there, cutie.

What's your name?

Aren't you just precious?

She do any tricks?

She bites.

She's not gonna bite me.

Look at us.

We look just like each other.

Oh.

Anyways, about that bath.

Uh, you could use one.

Well...

Oh, my, what...

What happened to your hand?

You're bleeding.

Let me get you a rag.

Oh, no, it's all right.

I just need some hot water.

I know you want a bath, but I can't

have you painting my floors.

Ellen!

Ugh! Where is she?

She got red hair

and a white dress?

Yeah, that's right.

Tall and dimwitted too.

You know her?

She's outside.

Figures.

I swear, she's about as useful as a

fork in a sugar bowl around here.

How'd you do this

to your hand anyway?

Well, it was a...

It was an accident.

Hold that on there.

Oh, my goodness!

Did you punch Gilly?

Oh, my goodness!

This is the best day of my life!

Let's get you

right on up to this bath.

In fact, let's get

both of you a bath.

Come on, whatever your name is.

Come on. Oh!

Okay, here we go.

Got some fresh towels,

and a comb,

and brush, if you

wanna wash your teeth.

And one for you, Abbie.

I hope you don't mind me

being in here for the moment.

Trust me, I've seen it all.

Not that I'm a wh*re or nothing.

I'm not. This is just a hotel.

So if you're looking for someone to

give it a rub, you're out of luck.

There's no women for sale here.

They all left with the silver.

Can I get you anything else?

No.

I can't believe I

missed you punching Gilly.

I would've given anything

to have seen that.

I gotta say, I'm just real

interested in who you are.

We don't get many visitors anymore.

Not since the mine went dry.

I spend more time sweeping dust

than I do prepping rooms.

It's exciting to have

someone new to talk to.

You a miner?

No.

You a cowboy?

No.

You a gunfighter?

No.

Is that 'cause you ain't, or

'cause no one's hired you yet?

'Cause let me tell you, there are

plenty of people in this town that...

I'm not a gunfighter.

Well, what are you then?

I'm passing through.

Well, I know that.

Nobody stays.

Not even my husband.

Anyway, let me know when you're done.

I got some coffee brewing.

You do like coffee?

Ah, well, good.

At least I got something right.

Abbie, next time, I'm just gonna talk

to you. You might have more to say.

Where the hell is he?

Mary-Anne... Mary-Anne, you

better not be serving that man.

I am too. You shut your mouth. I

don't want him hearing none of this.

Did you see what he did to Gilly?

Look at my dress!

The whole town practically saw!

Good! Gilly deserves some egg on

his face the way he treats people!

Oh, you watch your mouth!

No!

I'll sway what I want,

and I'll serve who I want.

Dad said for us to run

this hotel, not just you.

He could be a criminal.

So have some sense.

Oh, Ellen, shut up.

You let me worry about this.

I think he's handsome,

and I like his dog,

and I wanna know

more about them both.

I'm not scared, and you're

not gonna ruin this for me.

You foolish little girl.

One day you'll realize there's

no sense in being difficult.

You make the best of what you can.

Now, Gilly takes care of me.

So every time you put him down,

you ought to remember

that he's why I'm always

in nice dresses and jewelry,

and you're still lookin'

like a little old farm girl.

There's a reason we have it better

than most people in this town.

So wise up. Maybe then you'll find

someone to take care of you too,

but it's not gonna be

that man upstairs!

Because he is a rapscallion!

And we don't serve rapscallions.

Well, maybe I like rapscallions.

Now, go tend to that

nincompoop fianc of yours

and leave me be.

Show him how you ruined

your dress.

See if he buys you

a new one then.

Maybe he can fix that

black tooth of yours

while he's at it.

Gilly! I'm coming, baby.

What did I tell you

about staying out of trouble?

Oh, I know.

Probably was all my fault.

Hey, you know what?

What Cathy'd say?

She'd say, "you got sand,

but you could use a little bit

more in your mouth."/

isn't that funny?

sh*t.

Fair fight or no fair fight...

Whatever law they got

in this town

is gonna want to talk

to us soon.

So we best be moving on.

Thank you.

From your description, I

expected you to be a lot taller.

Have a seat.

Coffee's ready.

I thought you both

might like some.

I have some pig-stew boiling

if you're hungry.

Mary-Anne, sweetheart,

find something else to do.

Do you want me to watch

Abbie for you? No.

Are you sure? I'll be real nice to her.

I promise.

Mary-Anne.

Yes, sir.

Move your feet.

Yes, sir.

Now, you don't wanna sit,

that's fine,

but all you're doing

is giving me a sore neck.

See I got to take the weight off

it once in a while.

I'm not proud of it.

That's a sweet doggy.

She do any tricks?

She bites.

All right, down to business,

I guess.

I am Clyde Martin.

I am the marshal here in Denton.

You got a badge?

Damn pin broke.

Satisfied?

You busted up my

deputy pretty good.

I had no idea

he was your deputy.

I...

I was just trying

to defend myself.

I know you were.

Nobody dare tell me that

'cause it's my son.

And I know how he is.

But defending or not,

he's still my son,

and he's my deputy too.

So all of this is

kind of lousy for me.

Well, I can't have people thinking this

kind of business goes on around here.

First the fight breaks out,

then another.

And all the sudden all hell

breaks loose

and everybody's got

something to say.

This town's fallen

on some hard times.

The last thing I need is

a stranger starting trouble.

Yeah, no, i... I'm not

gonna cause any troubles.

No. We're just, uh,

passin' through.

Well, that's what I hear.

Now, is that your horse

over there at bill's outfit?

That's a Mcclellan saddle.

And would I be right to suspect

that that is a Springfield

trapdoor r*fle

that you got tied up there too?

I could throw you

in jail right now.

You want that?

I don't think so.

Only one reason I don't.

And that's the two items

on your horse

because what they tell me

is that you're just not

another vagabond or criminal

that I should be locking away.

It tells me that you're army,

but what it does not tell me

is why the hell are you

all the way out here?

Now, last I heard

the cavalry was

still busy k*lling Injuns

in Kansas and Oklahoma.

Now, we are a long way

from Kansas, soldier.

You mind filling me in?

We're leaving.

Now, just a minute.

If you're a deserter,

I have a duty

as a U.S. marshal

to turn you in.

I took an oath.

But that would cause extra

attention that I don't want.

You see, I have a way of doing

things around this town

that some think of

as non-traditional,

and I don't want to turn that

upside down.

And I have a feeling

neither of us want

the extra attention.

Am I right?

Frankly, I feel like

I've given the military enough.

And from the looks of it,

so have you.

Now, I have sympathy

for men who have fought in wars

and even those

who have abandoned them.

So you find yourself

another town

far away from here,

one with fancy wh*res

and fine Whisky

and a ch*nk with a pot of opium

that's just begging for a man

like you to come into his life.

You do what you need to do.

I expect you earned it.

But don't you ever...

If I ever hear a whispering

of you or that dog being

even near these parts again,

you'll be begging

for the army to come get ya.

But they won't.

They won't ever find you.

Nobody will.

Are we clear on that, soldier?

All right, fellas.

Our visitors

have decided to leave

they are ready to move on.

So please see that they do so.

And, uh, Mary-Anne?

I believe I will have

some of that stew.

Oh, and my understanding is,

Harris, it was a fair fight.

Yeah.

So don't bring any aggravating

on this no more.

And tell Gilly that too.

His nose is gonna heal up

like a crooked boot,

but he's gonna

have to accept that.

Maybe he'll even learn something

from all this. I don't know.

All right, you're dismissed.

Well, all right.

I know you're not coming back,

but I just want to say

it was nice meeting you today.

I wanted to give you this.

You can fold it

or rip off Ellen's part

if you don't want

to look at her.

I just thought maybe

you could remember me sometimes

when you get

wherever you're going.

Mary-Anne!

Well, good-bye.

Heck, I don't even know

your name.

My name's Paul.

Well,

good-bye, Paul.

Good girl.

You know what Cathy used to say one of

the greatest things about Mexico was?

Nobody speaks any English.

Oh, sh*t.

I'll tell you what, though.

One thing I did realize today

is that words don't come

so easy anymore.

I'm so used to talking to you

that I barely know what to say

when somebody talks back.

You speak Spanish?

Oh...

Yeah. Come here.

Come here.

What did you think

of that girl today, huh?

I thought she was pretty funny.

No, she was nothing like Cathy.

When I first met Cathy,

I couldn't get three words

out of her.

You know, she only spoke

if she had something

meaningful to say.

But this one...

sh*t.

She'd speak every time

she wasn't taking a breath.

No... she's young enough

to be my daughter.

She was funny, though.

Didn't you think?

I thought she was funny.

Not as funny

as you, don't worry.

All right.

Let's go to bed.

Don't you want your blanket?

Shh, be quiet.

Go around the other side

in case he wakes up.

Sure he's asleep?

Heck, tubby.

Just do what I say.

Cut him off.

Gilly, I don't know about this.

Harris, go! Now!

Abbie, quiet down!

Come here!

Where'd it go? Where is it?

Shh, I can't see

where you're hit.

Oh, it's okay.

It's okay.

Where are you hit? I can't

find where you're hit.

Bull's-eye!

All right.

Listen to me.

She needs some help.

Okay, just...

You can have whatever you want.

Please let me just

make sure that she's okay.

Now you shut up.

You are not in charge.

Look, I know I'm not

in charge. That's fine.

Just please, just let me

make sure that she's okay.

You back away from her,

or I will k*ll her!

It's...

Back up.

Okay.

No, no, no, no, no!

No, no!

The marshal told you

to leave me alone!

The marshal ain't here!

All right?

No! He told you!

You're makin' a mistake!

I am gonna m*rder you!

I am gonna m*rder all

of you, I swear to god!

Whoo, god!

There ain't no god here.

There ain't nobody

here... but us.

Shh!

It's okay. Huh?

It's okay.

My dad said that this...

Was probably an Injun's dog.

He most likely got her

off a pack of Cheyenne

out there in Kansas.

Cheyenne... who r*ped

and k*lled white folk.

Did you steal this dog?

Please. Please.

Don't do this.

Okay, please?

Please don't do this

'cause of what happened today.

I mean, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You answer my questions...

And maybe I will

consider your request.

Now did you k*ll

her tribe or not?

I...

Come on, now!

There ain't nobody here

that's gonna snitch on you.

No! See, we all

heard the stories.

We just ain't never had a chance

to talk to somebody in the flesh.

Tell us about it!

You want us to believe

that you were the one man

in the cavalry

too good for all of it?

sh*t, I hope that

you k*lled every last one

of those wagon burners

that you saw.

That's what I would have done.

Those g*dd*mn savages

deserve nothing less.

Please leave us alone.

Please.

How many?

I don't know!

I don't remember!

I want to go to Mexico!

You'll never see me again!

I swear, please.

Take whatever you want!

Oh, no. No.

You see, we ain't here

to rob you.

You're the thief, not us.

What do you say, fellas?

Suppose we let this thief

and this traitor

run off to Mexico?

I don't think so!

I don't think so neither.

You're awfully quiet, Harris.

But Gilly...

Yes or no, Harris?

Well, that's a shame.

Because I vote no, too.

So that's...

Four to one!

Please.

She needs me!

I'm begging you! I'm

begging you... oh, no.

Begging ain't gonna

do you no good.

See, it ain't a time

for begging.

It's time for praying.

You are a coward.

You left good men behind.

They trusted you,

and you ran out on them!

What if they needed you?

Just like this dog here...

needs you.

I think...

That it's time...

That someone let you know

what that feels like!

No!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Get him up!

Get him on his feet!

Get up, you m*therf*cker!

No, no.

I ain't gonna cut you.

Looks like somebody

already did that.

But you...

Will remember me.

You will remember my name.

And the last thing

that you will remember...

Is that you should have never

come up against Gilly Martin.

You're a disgrace. Get this

coward out of my sight.

You're dead.

You're dead too.

All of you are dead.

I think you got that wrong!

I think it's you who's dead!

Oh, that's a long way down!

Now let him go, Harris.

Harris!

Let him go.

Adios, stranger!

Let go!

You see him bounce off

that rock, there?

I didn't see where he landed.

I did. On the bottom!

Tubby, you better go down

there make sure he's dead.

You crazy? I'm not

climbin' down there.

You hear that?

Tubby ain't climbin' down there!

Whoo-wee!

Damn!

Hey, you two. You take his horse

and you go through his bags.

And you hurry up.

I want to get back to town

before my dad knows we're gone.

Harris! Gonna stand

there all night, or what?

Get out of here!

I'm so sorry.

Oh, my god, I'm so sorry.

Oh, my god.

I'm not sure what

you'd want me to do.

I could just keep heading

down to Mexico like we planned.

I know I promised you

that I was done killin'.

But I think I'm gonna

have to break that promise.

I'm not done. Not yet.

And it's not done

with me, either.

Those men left me with nothing.

I'm gonna leave them with less.

Hey. Hold up.

Oh, god.

Don't come any closer!

I thought I took your b*ll*ts!

Huh?

I bought more.

What's a priest need

so many b*ll*ts for?

Sinners!

I'm gonna need your belt.

And I'm takin' your mule.

I thought you said

you weren't a thief!

Now you're stealin' me g*n

and me mule.

Yeah, times have changed.

Give me that.

What happened to you?

Well, let's just say...

The marshal in Denton

wasn't keen to my cause.

Told me I'd need to pay

if I wanted to preach

and said he didn't see the need

for the word of god in his town

yeah, well, that...

I bet he didn't.

I'd say, if this country keeps

turning its back on faith,

there'll be nothing

worth left saving.

You're right about that, father.

You are right about that.

This country's all but lost.

You were right about

something else, too.

That town back there?

It's full of sinners.

But they don't need saving.

Oh!

Bless you, my son.

This is my father's house.

He's sick.

You got a family?

Not anymore.

They die?

No.

Are you gonna k*ll those men?

'Cause I could help.

They deserve to die for

what they done to you.

And for what they done

to this town.

I could tell you

where to find them.

I-I could do that for you.

The marshal and Gilly

got everybody scared.

They say if you ain't with

'em, you're against them.

And a lot of people here

took that to heart.

There's nobody brave enough

to stand up to them anymore.

You've k*lled before,

haven't you?

What I mean is, you was in wars.

I can tell by the way you don't

want to look me in the eye.

You don't want me to know

what you're capable of.

But I want to know. I want to

know that you'll get them.

After it's done, stay with me

until I bury my father.

Then I'll go with you

anywhere... please.

I know how to treat a man. I know...

I know what a husband likes.

Stop it.

Please take me with you.

I need to get out of here.

There are no good men

left in this town.

I'm not here to save you.

I'm not here to save anybody.

Don't say that. I mean...

You don't have to be alone.

Yes, I do.

You imagine that

you know who I am,

just because you think

everybody outside this town

has it better than you.

Other people somehow aren't

sufferin' the same way.

You're wrong about that.

It's a big old world.

Everybody's sufferin'.

I had a wife...

Named Cathy.

I had a daughter

named Abilene.

And she was real pretty,

and smart,

just like you.

What happened to them?

I left 'em.

Now I'm sorry for the hand

you've been dealt, truly.

I am.

But I can't stay here and

help you bury your father

and run you off

to someplace better.

I'm not the man

you see in your head.

I deserted my family

the day I enlisted,

and I have been nothing but a

coward for not going back.

I don't even want

to see their faces...

Not after what I've done.

Paul.

You seem like a good girl.

All right, you do.

I mean that.

A good man will be proud

to be with a woman like you.

All right, but

I'm not a good man.

Not anymore.

I'm takin' your horse.

You think just because

I'm young, I must be naive!

I've spent my whole life helpin'

people who can't help themselves.

And what is there

to show for it?

You're not a good man?

Well, I am good!

So why should I be

punished for that?

You act like everybody's

given up on you,

but you've just

given up on yourself!

You might be sufferin',

but you're not dead, not yet.

You're not even sick

like my father in there.

You could still go back to them.

Your family...

They'd understand.

I'm sure your wife and daughter

would want to see you again.

Mary-Anne, how would you feel

about seeing your husband again?

We're not meant

to be alone, Paul!

People, we belong together,

just like animals in a herd,

just like you and Abbie.

Abbie's dead, Mary-Anne.

- I wish you well.

- Come on.

g*dd*mn it, you stink!

Oh! Oh, Jesus!

Ellen, sweetheart,

will you make sure that

Roy here gets a bath?

- I can't even be in the same room with him.

- I sure will.

See, now what he's not used to

is the smell of a real man.

And I can make babies

with this sh*t here.

Y'all just don't know.

Whoo! God, you are sour!

All right, I'm gonna go help tubby

collect the rest of the taxes.

Maybe later I'll bring

you something nice.

Something nice?

I'd like that.

I thought you would.

Make sure he don't drown.

He's like a cat to water. I may need him.

I'll see to it.

Ellen!

Ellen? Where are you?

Stop shouting, I'm right here!

You're so loud.

What do you want? I thought

you was out with dad.

I need to talk with you.

He didn't die, did he?

No, not yet.

Oh.

Oh thank god.

Ugh, not like you'd care.

Mary-Anne!

How dare you say

something like that to me?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.

But please, it's important.

Roy's in 353,

and he needs hot water.

Go warm him up,

and then we can talk

about whatever nonsense

you got in your mind this time.

I'll be in our room.

Don't let that man get cold!

Ellen!

Nope.

Fine, I'll get him the damn water.

And a shave kit.

His chin is looking like

a nasty old Billy goat.

And don't you dare

tell him I said that.

Ahh!

Yeah? What is it?

Have some more hot water?

And a kit for a shave?

Yeah, well bring it in.

Oh, I feel real good.

How old are you, now?

Sixteen.

Oh.

You know that husband of yours

never comin' back, right?

I mean, you're old enough

to know that by now.

Yes, sir.

You're real pretty,

like your sister.

You ought to find a new man.

One with connections.

And a home

outside of this hotel.

You know, you don't want to

wait till your looks grow out.

No shave today.

I think I'll keep the beard.

You back already?

Why don't you just

slip that little dress

of yours off and...

Climb right into

the tub here with me?

The water's real nice...

I don't want you to be shy.

Mm. Ah!

I said no shave today.

Don't move!

Don't make a sound!

Put your arms in the tub.

Put your arms in the water.

I told you I'd find you,

didn't I?

And before you start

asking for anything...

There's not gonna be

any sympathy today.

Now, get your arms back

in the water.

Put 'em in the water!

Now, listen to me.

I didn't come here today

with any compassion at all.

The four of you k*lled my dog,

and you tried to k*ll me.

Hmm?

Now, it was a mistake

to leave me alive.

I'm not gonna make that mistake.

I've k*lled more human beings

than I care to remember,

and I will not hesitate...

Or quit until the four

of you are in the dirt.

Now take a deep breath, hmm?

It's your last one!

Mary-Anne?

What's goin' on?

Mary-Anne? Mary-Anne.

Mary-Anne. What is it?

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god. Roy.

Ro...

Roy!

Oh, lord!

Tubby, catch your breath somewhere else,

and get away from the g*dd*mn window!

Yes, sir.

Mm, oh. Mm...

What happened?

You went after

that man, didn't you?

I told you not to.

I made it perfectly clear

that you were not

to aggravate the situation,

but ya did, didn't ya?

All of ya did!

We couldn't let him

get away with what he did!

It would have made us look weak!

Weak?

- Shut up! Shut up!

- Shut up!

You think I let him go

'cause I'm weak? No.

Look at this! That's not

done by an angry drunk,

or a miner that has

a sense of entitlement!

This was done by a military man,

a man trained to k*ll by one

of the most ruthless divisions

our country has ever seen,

something you would know

nothin' about!

And you think just because

you've got a prick

and a p*stol,

you can k*ll somebody?

Well, look at death!

Take a look at it!

If you'd done what we said,

Roy wouldn't be breathing

out of his neck right now!

Give me that cane.

Stop! Just stop!

Stop!

Marshal! Marshal!

Stop it!

We thought he was dead.Honest.

I don't know how

he could have survived.

I told you we should have gone

down there and made sure.

Aw, shut up, both of ya!

Y'all should have known better

than let him get away

with something like this!

Why the hell am I

even paying you?

Now, which one

of you girls seen him?

Well, we both did.

He have a g*n?

I don't know. It happened

so fast, all I saw was blood.

Mary-Anne,

did you see if he had a g*n?

Mary-Anne?

I-I don't...

I don't know.

Now, think hard. It's important

you say the right thing.

People's lives

are depending on it.

I don't know, marshal, honest.

All right. Harris.

Get over to the jailhouse,

lock up all the g*ns,

and get up on the roof

with a r*fle.

Now, if we're lucky,

he's not armed.

But if he is, it's gonna get

worse before it gets better.

Now, Gilly, you make sure you

get them girls someplace safe.

And, tubby, you come with me.

Why do I have to stay

with the women?

You almost got us

all k*lled today.

Now, I would appreciate it

if you didn't act

on every idiotic thought

that comes into your mind

and just do what I say

from now on.

We don't know

if this man is deranged.

We don't know what he's done.

Anybody could be next, including

the women, so get them safe.

Now! Get!

Move!

Marshal, what about Roy?

We don't have time

to dig a hole.

Let's just let him soak.

Now, if he's out there

and he's got a g*n,

most likely one of us

is gonna take a b*llet.

And since I've already been

shot in this life,

I think you oughta go first.

Why do we have to go out there?

Because you don't run from

battle with a man like this.

Hesitation'll get you k*lled.

It's the stick or the whip.

Either way, I wanna a fightin'

chance

and I got a shotgun

waiting for me in the jailhouse,

and I intend to use it.

So you go from door to door,

and you make sure he

ain't hiding out with anybody.

Now, we gotta move fast.

We ain't gonna wait here to die.

We're gonna take it to him.

Do you understand what I mean?

Yes, sir.

Now, you be careful

'cause you're a big target.

Gilly, why is this happening?

God, that man,

he was covered in blood.

Looked like he had

on red gloves.

Why would he do that?

Poor Roy.

Poor Roy. He didn't deserve this.

Ellen...

Ellen.

He didn't...

Be quiet.

I need to think right now.

And you are grinding down my

ears with all of your babbling.

My babbling? My babbling?

Gilly, he almost

took Roy's head off.

I know, Ellen.

I saw.

I looked down his throat.

But you going on and on about it

ain't helping me

sort any of this out.

You're gonna k*ll him, right?

You and others?

I mean, he can't get away

with this. He can't.

Ellen, what did I just say?

Or maybe he's gone.

Maybe he k*lled Roy

and he just moved on.

Yeah. Yeah. We don't know for

sure that he's even still here.

He's not moving on.

They k*lled his dog.

What?

That's why he's back.

That's why Roy's dead.

He's not going anywhere

until he gets even with all you.

You shouldn't have

done what you done.

How did you know about that?

How did you know about his dog?

You talked to him, didn't you?

Are you helping him?

Mary-Anne, is that what you

were trying to tell me earlier?

You knew this man was coming?

You knew this would happen,

and you didn't say nothin'?

I did say something.

You didn't listen.

Gilly, Gilly, don't!

Gilly!

Shut up, Ellen!

I'm talking to your sister.

Now, are you helping him?

You answer me.

Are you helping him?

No. He didn't want my help.

But I would have, though.

Gilly, Gilly! No!

Ellen, get off of me.

Enough!

Enough.

I should sh**t

the both of you right now,

but I need all the

f*cking b*ll*ts that I have

in this g*n

for that as*h*le out there.

So you lie there and you ache.

And you lie there and you bleed.

But the both of you,

please shut up.

All clear now. And just move on

down the line like I said.

And do it quick '&cause I'll be

right behind you.

And you're sweatin' a lot.

You all right?

You're not gonna pass out

on me or nothin', are you?

No, sir.

I just sweat sometimes

on account of my biology.

sh**t '&em. sh**t '&em both.

Mister...

I'm real sorry for what we done.

I told Gilly,

but he just wouldn't listen.

He ain't reasonable

when he's like that.

But you remember though, right?

You remember I didn't wanna

do this to you.

sh**t 'em or I'll sh**t you.

Wha...

On a count of three now.

Yes, sir.

You can do this.

Yes, sir.

Move straight out.

Yes, sir.

All right. One...

Two...

Yes, sir.

Three.

Go. Go!

No!

I don't wanna...

No. What are you doin'?

That's tubby, g*dd*mn it.

Don't sh**t! What the...

Tubby, ya hit?

sh**t them now.

They're getting away.

sh**t them!

Come on, get up!

I can't.

I don't wanna die.

Look I don't wanna die neither.

J...

Ow!

Get up!

I can't.

I can't sh**t them.

I know there's not a

lot of dignity in this,

but I have a daughter

I'd like to see again.

But I don't suppose that I will.

Harris?

Get away from the window.

He's still on the roof.

We can trap him.

You move in front

of the building.

I'll cut him off in the back.

But we gotta move fast.

This is our only chance.

We can't blow it.

Sh...

Did I get ya?

No.

I'm not here for you, marshal.

I'm here for the men

who k*lled my dog.

sh*t. Goddammit, Gilly.

Well, I didn't know about that.

But I can't allow this to go on.

Now, I wouldn't be

much of a father if i...

If I let you k*ll my son.

And I wouldn't be

much of a... a marshal if I

let you k*ll anyone else.

Well, if you get in my way,

I'm gonna take you down.

Yeah, I suppose you will.

Well, the feeling's mutual.

Tubby, how long does it take you

to get your fat a*s

around that building?

I'm coming to get ya.

I'm coming to get ya.

sh*t.

That's it.

I'm going out there.

No. No. No, you

can't leave us here.

The hell I can't. He's not

after you. He's after me.

She said it.

You remember?

He's crazy.

And the marshal told you

to protect us.

And I'm your fianc. You don't

just up and leave your fianc.

Ellen, right now I wouldn't care

if you were the tip of my d*ck!

I am going out there.

You forget

about what my dad said

because he doesn't

care about either of you.

He just doesn't think that

I can handle it on my own.

But I'm gonna end it,

and I am gonna prove

to him what I am capable of.

Now you get away from the door

before I put

another hole in you.

Move!

Gilly...

I'm pregnant.

Please don't leave

me alone here.

I can't lose you.

I can't have this baby

all by myself.

Um, I need you.

Ellen...

Do you honestly think...

That now is the right time

for this conversation?

Are you seriously bringing

this up right now?

Yes.

There is a man outside

who is systematically trying

to k*ll everyone that I know,

including my father,

and you've decided that now

is a good time to tell me

that you are pregnant?

Gilly. Gilly.

Ellen! Stop talking.

The worst thing

that you could do right now

is to say another word.

Let him go, Ellen.

He wants to die, let him.

Know what? Maybe I can

spare one more b*llet.

No, no please.

Please, Gilly, don't.

I love you, I love you, I'm just so scared.

I'm scared, please.

Please.

There is no denying that

the two of you are related.

You truly are pathetic.

Both of you.

What the hell's wrong with you?

Couldn't you hear me

yellin' out there,

waitin' for your fat a*s

to get around the building?

Get away from the window!

How many times I gotta tell you?

Tubby!

It's Harris's face.

It's gone.

What?

His whole face is gone.

What are we gonna tell

his wife and kid?

How are we gonna tell '&em

he got no face no more?

And Roy, he's up there

pruning in a tub

of his own blood.

I can't do this, marshal.

I'm sorry.

I just can't.

Okay.

It's a lot to take. I didn't

know it would be like this.

All right, now, tubby...

Stop calling me tubby! I don't

wanna be called that anymore.

I'm not even that fat!

Y'all act like all I do is

sit around eating all day.

I don't! I work!

And I eat less than y'all.

This is just the way

god made me.

And I accept that.

But if I'm gonna die here today,

I am not gonna be called tubby.

I mean it!

Now look, I will call you

whatever you want

if we just get through this.

But please.

Lawrence.

My name is Lawrence.

All right, Lawrence. Larry,

please, for the love of god,

get away from

the g*dd*mn window!

f*ck! Son of a b*tch!

Marshal! This doesn't have

to concern you.

You don't have to die today.

But you're gonna have to

have a real good, long think

about where you

stand from here on out.

Come on, come on, come on,

you c*cksucker.

Just let me see your face.

All right. I'm beat.

Let's talk.

But if I come out, are you gonna

talk, or are you gonna sh**t?

I'm prepared for both.

Well that doesn't make

me feel comfortable.

Well, you got a g*n, marshal?

You know I do.

Better leave it behind.

Well if I come out unarmed,

how do I know you won't sh**t?

Well, you don't.

What better option you got?

Well, I can see your point.

No g*n.

No g*n.

What the hell is he doing?

Where's your son?

I don't know.

But I just don't

want anyone else hurt.

Now you gotta know

that this is a deeply

embarrassing moment for me.

But I'm doing the right

thing by surrendering

and I, and I hope that

you do the same.

I wasn't planning on it.

Now look, I know my son

and the others have...

Have done ya wrong.

And I know you want my boy dead.

But that... that ain't gonna

bring your dog back

no more than

I could re-grow my leg.

So let's stop the k*lling and,

and let's be reasonable.

Reasonable?

That how you run this town?

Well now, now you don't know

nothin' about that.

This town needs me.

This town wouldn't be

standing here without me.

These people need a leader.

Now, they don't always like it,

but they can't

survive without it.

Now you oughta remember that,

soldier.

Now, come on.

Leaders are chosen, marshal.

You ain't given nobody a choice.

Your son...

He k*lled my dog.

So now...

I ain't got no choice.

All right, enough talking dad!

Whoa, whoa, now hey!

No! I said I got it,

and you get out of the way!

No, stand back, Gilly!

Now, both of ya'll put

your g*ns down.

Now that's enough is enough!

You're just saying that

because he's got you beat.

He thinks he won,

but he ain't won sh*t,

not while I'm still here.

Gilly! Put your g*ns down!

No, he'll sh**t me!

He won't sh**t you.

Now look,

we can stop all of this.

No, he k*lled Roy and

then he k*lled Harris,

then k*lled tubby and I'm not

gonna let him get away with it.

He's gotta die for what he did!

He does not have to die.

Nobody's got to die.

Now look I'm beggin' ya,

don't sh**t my son.

The time for beggin' is over.

Now's the time for prayin'.

Well, don't worry, dad.

Everything is under control.

You just step away.

Gilly, can i... just let me talk

to him. Just let me talk to him.

No. We're done talkin'.

Dad.

Dad.

You all saw what he did.

He did this!

He k*lled him!

This is all his fault!

And anyone

who helps that man

is as good as dead!

Now, where the f*ck are you?

Where the f*ck are you?

Lady?

What are you doing here?

Huh?

What are you doing here?

Oh. sh*t.

What do you say we get

out of here, huh?

Give me a second.

Move!

Where are you?

I know you're in here.

Now, you show your

face you coward.

No!

Why did you k*ll my dog?

Why would you do that?

Let me go!

Why would you hurt

my dog? Huh? Huh?

No! No! No!

Stop, please,

I don't wanna be dead.

Please, god!

I don't want to die!

Please get off of me.

I told you I could help you.

Gilly! Gilly, where are you?

Gilly!

Through this holy anointing,

may the lord,

in his love and his mercy,

help you with the grace

of the holy spirit.

May the lord saves us free.

You ought to stick around

a while this time, father.

We could all use

a little saving.

It's okay. I got you.

Let's just get inside.
