02x32 - Strange Company

[bunniefuu]

[ g*nshots ]

Indians, Jess.

Those rumors about trouble
are more than just talk.

Well, let's show 'em
what trouble really means.

Sure glad you and Jess
come a-lookin', Slim.

We heard about
the Sioux outbreak, Lon,

got worried when you didn't
bring the stage through on time.

Well, they jumped us
when I had to pull up fast
at that road block.

Poor Charley up there
was riding shotgun for me.

Didn't have a chance.

Is this your only fare?

Yeah, and he ain't
in too good a condition.

Say, you got a half-clean
bandana on you?

Yeah.

Well, this poor devil will live,
but he won't be set in
a saddle for a spell.

Troopers know these
Injuns are this far north?

Nope, they thought
the road was open.

I checked with the fort
after I left Sinclair.

This will close it for sure.

Yeah, the whole
territory is going to be

in trouble if them red devils
cut the supply lines.

So will
the relay station, Slim,

might as well close up.

What's your
next move, Slim?

Well, I was figuring
we ought to get this man
to a doc.

Sure ought to let
the cavalry know about this.

Well, I reckon
I'm out of a job for a bit,

got me a stagecoach
but no place to drive it.

We're all out of jobs.

The old Laramie road,
it's farther north of here,

maybe the hostiles
won't get to it.

Especially if the horse soldiers
can pit them down

south of here.

That road ain't been
used in years, Slim,

it's full of washouts
and slides.

It'd be work, sure.

Be all right
for the time being though,

keep the stages rolling
and supplies moving.

Yeah, it might be
at that, Slim,

and you can bet the stage line
would pay a crew to open it up.

It'd be worth it to them.

Be worth it to me too.
I'd work on it.

You can count on me.

Hey, Lon, take my
horse back to Sinclair.

Check in
with the stage line office

and get 'em to authorize
an emergency construction crew.

Right.Bring the men
out to my ranch.

Might as well start
from there.

I'll take the coach back
with your passengers.

I'm gonna hustle on over
the fort, notify 'em about this.

I'll meet you back
at the ranch

unless the general finds
something for me to do.

He probably will.

Lon, give me a hand
with this barricade

so Slim can get this
stage rolling.

Now you give that poor devil
a better ride

than I did, Slim,
you hear?

Hey, you're going to be
driving Slim's wagon?

That's right.

I's a pretty big team,
might get frisky.

I can handle them.

Well, better get yourself
a pair of gloves, boy.

Working on a road crew
ain't like tending a bank.

Bob, come on, boy,
we're getting organized.

Well, it ain't
that I'm the best man

to head up this here
work crew, it's just that

well, the stage line couldn't
find nobody else to do it.

But I told 'em Slim Sherman
would help open up

the old Laramie road,
and they said hop to it.

Well, he's more
boss than me.

Now wait a minute,
I don't think

any of us
will need any bossing,

and none of us
are getting rich over

what the stage line
is paying us.

We all got a good reason
to keep that road open.

That's right.

Folks in Laramie
are counting on us

so's they can get
their supplies.

Yup.

That way your bank can loan
them the money

to buy 'em with, huh?

Better than losing it

in one of your
gambling games, Bracket.

Look, I run
a game of chance.

Nobody's gotta play,
but the whole town

has to deal with your bank.

You say chance, Bracket.

Thought any game of yours
was a sure thing -- for you.

Now that will be about enough
of that kind of talk.

We got a job to do.

Yeah, but take orders
from this retired law g*n, Slim?

What do you do
on this crew, Durango?

I thought
you hired gunslicks

to do different
kind of road work.

Now hold on. We got no room
for personal feelings.

Lon had to pick
you men in a hurry,

you got to work together
the best you can.

I aim to open up that road
if it's the last thing I do.

You want to pull out,
do it now.

We're in pretty good shape.

Sam here's a good miner,
knows how to handle powder.

Lon's driven enough roads
to know

what a good one
should look like,

and we're all
used to hard work
when it's needed.

It'll all work out.

Anything else, Lon?

Yeah, just one question.
What are we waiting for?

Not a thing. Let's go.

N'Codee,
it's good to see you again.

We meet only
in troubled times.

I see you're still a scout.

Some of my people
will not give up.

To fight without winning
is not good.

I fight for peace.

It'll come.

Have you seen Jess?

He works with my officers.

I was ordered
to go with you.

On the road crew?

I know the canyon
of the old road,

I can scout
and hunt for you.

Good.
We can use the help.

What's going on, Slim?

Well, Jess is staying
with the troops.

They sent N'Codee here
to help us.

Yeah, what's he going to do?

Plenty.

He knows that old road
better than any of us.

He can hunt
for fresh meat,

keep his eyes out
for hostiles.

I just bet he'll do that.

Listen, if it comes
to fighting,

it won't be
the first time

I have done it
alongside this man.

Can't trust any of them.

That's why the Indian wars
are still going on.

Yeah, that sounds like
something you'd say, Pa.

He's a friend of Slim's.

You learn to act like a man,
you can talk like one.

Well, I ain't one to side
with this banker here,

but this time five will
get you ten that he's right.

Got no hankerin' to get
a knife in my back either.

Now wait a minute.

We ain't doubting you,
Slim, it's just that...

well, with all them
renegades around

he might forget
which side he's on.

He won't forget, Lon.

He's got more reason
to remember than any of us.

Now look, he was ordered
to come and help us.

You're not gonna take him,
you can count me out too.

Well, if you
and the US Cavalry want him,

I ain't arguing.

Fellers, if you'll think on it,
it wouldn't be too smart

letting this Injun
get away right now,

not with him knowing
what we are up to.

Looking at it that way,
I guess MacRae is right,

but if anything goes wrong

we'll know right
where to look.

If anything
goes wrong, Herb,

it won't be
N'Codee's fault.

Now if you gentlemen think
you're ready

let's get on our way.

You heard him, boys,
mount up, on the double.

All right, men,
move 'em out!

[ horse neighing ]

Hey, come on,
hey, come on.

Come on.

[horse neighing]Steady!

Steady, boy! Steady.

Don't spook 'em, boy!
You'll turn the wagon over.

You lead 'em on.
The rest of us will push.

Come on, come on, boys.

Whoa! Whoa!

[ grunting ]

Talk to those horses up there!

Giddyup.

Hyah! Giddyup in there.

Steady, boy,
now easy, easy.

Get 'em up, Bob,
a little bit lower.

A little more!

Check the harnesses, Lon.

That fool kid doesn't know
how to handle a team.

Never seen a banker
yet could do anything
but take folks' money.

Durango, like I said before,
you talk too much.

You're gonna take that, boy?

I couldn't care less
what him or his kind think.

Look out.
Dynamite.

Dynamite?

Why, I wasn't 10 feet
behind that powder.

Why, you stupid punk!
I oughta--

What gets into you?!

You'll make us nice
target for hostiles.

Lay off, Sherman,
we ain't seen any hostiles.

We ain't even seen
that Red Stick friend of yours.

Yeah, maybe he's out
trying to find some.

Sending him out to scout's
a fine way for us

to keep an eye on him.

Let's get moving.

Look sharp, Bob.

We can't afford
to have any more accidents.

I will, Slim,
I'm sorry.

It's all he ever is,
Sherman, is sorry.

Maybe you can make
something out of him,
I don't think I can.

All right,
move 'em out.

It ain't too much further
to the old road cut-off, Slim.

No, just over
the ridge.

We make it there
without meeting any renegades,

we should be all right.

You worry too much, Slim.
No use looking for trouble.

It'll find us soon enough.

Yeah, I guess
you're right.

Looks like there's going
to be more fighting

among ourselves
than with the hostiles.

Just keep smiling, Slim.

h*!

How's it look, N'Codee?

Not good.

A w*r party comes.

Can't we miss them?

This canyon
leads to the old road,

the wagons can make it.

I don't know, Slim,
we get up in them hills

we're really trapped.

You're taking
his word for it?

Don't have
much choice.

Let him see
with his own eyes.

Good idea.

Lon, you start the wagons
up the canyon,

Durango will ride
with N'Codee and me

to make sure you won't
get in any trouble.

All right,
then I'm willing.

Does that suit you?

You and the Injun go first.

Sure, Durango,

I wouldn't have it
any other way.

All right, boys,
we got us a road to build.

This here one's too easy.

Come on, boys.Let's go.

Yeeah!

Come on.
Get 'em moving.

Watch those rocks.

Headed right for the road.
They couldn't have missed us.

Might have been hard-pressed
to hold off that many.

That's putting it mild,
isn't it?

When we get to the old road,
do you think we'll be safe?

They not expect
old road to be used.

You convinced, Durango?

Yeah,
I'm convinced--for now.

[ groans ]

Getting tired?

No, I'm not tired.

Does a man good to get out
and work with his hands.

Well, it'd help
if I had some skin left on them.

You're soft.

Things are too easy
for young fellas these days.

Well, you're the one
that stopped ranching

and started banking,
not me.

Your ma's idea, not mine.

Well, it paid off
for you, didn't it?

I don't know.

I wonder.

We're almost out of water,
I wonder what's keeping Ned?

We got a lot of
barrels to fill.

Since Lon is moving us
from the cabin to the cave,

we had to stock up.

Yeah, let's hope he fixes it up
nice and cozy for us.

Hey, now if that Injun of yours
should come in

with a hunk of venison,
we'd be sitting pretty.

Work's going all right,
ain't it, Slim?

Better than I expected.

We're halfway through the canyon
in only a couple of days.

N'Codee says the road up
ahead is in pretty good shape.

You make it sound easy.

Would be if we all did
a full day's work.

Oh, why do you keep
riding him, Herb?

He's doing the best he can.

At least he ain't bucking
for all the soft jobs

like that Bracket and Durango.
Getting wood -- ha!

There're up
some canyon, sleeping.

Everybody is doing
their share, Sam,

it's just that you do
the work of two men.

And you talk enough
for two men.

[ g*nsh*t ]

Hey, you suppose
Ned's in trouble?

I told him somebody
ought to go with him,

he wanted to do it
on his own.

Too many years a lawman
to trust anyone.

[ wagon approaching ]

There's a wagon coming.

He must have been
sh**ting at game.

He looks all right.

[ groans ]

[ horses neighing ]

Ned,
what happened?

Ambush. I couldn't see 'em.
Could have been Red Stick.

Easy.Ned!

Stretch him out.

Things was going too easy.

We can stop
some of the bleeding.

Better not try for that slug
till we get back to the cave.

If it was Injuns
like he said,

this ain't too healthy
around here.

He didn't say for sure.

Well, who else
could it be?

I don't know.

Ex-lawman like Ned here

is bound to have
a lot of enemies.

Well, sure, but...

are you trying to say
Durango or Bracket

might have done this?

I'm not trying to say
who did it.

Just not sure it was
Indians.

Maybe Slim's thinking
of one Red Stick
in particular.

You can forget about that.

N'Codee had nothing
to with this.

Now go load up the tools,
we got get Ned back

to the cave before dark.

Yes.

You can bet they'll blame
N'Codee for this.Yeah, I know.

Could be we're headed
for a showdown.

Help me get him
in the wagon, Bob.

Easy.

Here we go.

[ horse neighing ]

Whoa, whoa. Whoa!

[ horse neighing ]

Get the slug out?

Yeah.

Don't give Ned
much of a chance, though.

What's spooking the stock?

I don't know.

They're sure spooking.

No sign of N'Codee yet.

No, not yet.

You know, it might be better
if he doesn't come back.

You think
he did it too.

No, but I know
that bunch inside.

When the old man forced me
to go on my first posse,

they were all part of it.

You too.

Me? When was that?

Couple of years back
the bank was robbed.

They hung two of them--
no trial, no nothing.

And I was there?

Well, not exactly.

You and Ned Bailey,
he was the sheriff then,

you were out trailing
the one that got away.

Yeah, we never did find him.

I have been in
so many of these scrapes

I get 'em all mixed up.

It was all pretty new to me.

I can still see it real clear,

and I ain't had no taste for
the g*n-slingin' ever since.

No matter
what the old man says.

It's the only way
of life he knows.

He has had to fight
for everything he has got.

Well, there's a time
to quit fighting, Slim,

but he doesn't seem
to know it.

[ horse neighing ]

Almost gave you up.

I had to ride far
for this meat.

I saw signs
of a big cat.

Mountain lion-- that's what
the horses didn't like.

We had trouble, N'Codee.

Ned Bailey was shot
from ambush.

He's in pretty bad shape.

It is not known
who did it?

No.
Lone renegade, probably.

There are no warriors
in this canyon.

I made sure
before I hunted.

The others...
they think I did it.

Let's get this thing
settled -- right now.

Couldn't help Ned,
Slim. He's dead.

And there's the varmint
that done it.

Hold it!

Put it up!

Where you hit, N'Codee?

Shot hit deer.
Saved me.

Slim...

His luck
ain't gonna hold out.

They all feel
about like Sam.

You better get him
out of here.

That'd be like admitting
he shot Ned.

It would save his life.

The horses!
They've broken out.

I need some help!

Easy now, easy.

Whoa, whoa.

Easy now.

Easy, boys. Easy.

Easy, boy.

Don't swing that rope, Durango!

[ roars ]

[ panicky neighing ]

SLIM: Scatter out!
Head 'em back to the corral,
and watch out for that cougar.

[ roars ]

[ panicky neighing ]

[ distant g*nshots ]

MAN: Slim!

Over here.

Slim, Tony's hurt.

Get Sam inside.

Here, give me a hand.

Sam's dead.

Shot in the back.

That Red Stick got even
with him, that's what happened.

How is he, Lon?

He's dead, Slim.
How about N'Codee there?

He's out cold,
but he's still living.

Sam and the Injun--
they must have shot each other.

Sure they did -- in the back.

Sam's g*n's still in the cave,
N'Codee's hasn't being fired.

That doesn't
add up, Slim.

Sure doesn't, Bob,
but I'll tell you what does.

We got two dead,
N'Codee near it.

One of us is a k*ller.

That adds up real good.

N'Codee, Ned, Sam,

may your souls
rest in peace.

Now that we've buried
our dead

we can try
and find the horses.

Only thing to do is
to spread out.

You know, they might
have stayed in a bunch.

That would be
a blessing, but I doubt it.

The way everybody was sh**ting
at his own shadow last night,

they probably scattered
to the four winds.

Since you let 'em all go,
I doubt you'll be
bringing any back.

Well, I'll bring back my share.
Just make sure you get yours.

Maybe he's going to show
some spunk after all.

Well, why don't you
tell him you think so?

Might help him some to know
you're on his side for once.

I just might do that.

Any questions
before we leave?

Yeah. What happens if we do
bring any of the horses back?

We finish the road.Or each other.

It seems to me
we ain't gonna work
on the road orleave--

not till we find us
some horses.

What's to stop anybody
from just taking off
if he finds a horse?

Oh, that'd be
just fine, gambler.

Then we'd know for sure
you've been doing the k*lling.

Put it up, Durango!

You too, Bracket.

Now that right there is
one of the main reasons
we're splitting up.

We'd never
find the horses

if we had to spend all the time
watching each other.

Every man for himself.

Spread out.

Well, I sure ain't gonna
tangle with that Durango.

Not while
he's wearing a g*n.

Did you ever see
anything faster?

Jess, maybe.
Not many others.

Well, the trouble is
Jess ain't here, and we are.

Well, I hope your shanks' mare's
in better shape than mine.

Easy, boy. Whoa. Whoa, there.

Whoa, boy.

Hold there, boy.

Whoa.

Easy. Easy, boy, easy.

Steady now, you may
as well give up.

I'm gonna take you in
for the old man.

Yeah, we're gonna
show him, won't we?

Come on. Come on.
Easy, boy, easy.

Easy. Come on,
Come on. Easy, boy.

Easy, boy, easy.

Don't worry, Bob.
Your pa will show up
sooner or later.

He and Bracket are
probably chasing
the rest of the stock.

Think we should
leave without him?

We'll just be working up
the road a bit,

wagon tracks ought to be
easy enough to follow.

Do you think we can
make some Sinclair
in a couple of days, huh?

Yeah. Just clearing
and filling from here on out.

There's an old
relay station up ahead
we can make camp in.

That suits me fine.
I've had enough of this cave.

Everything out?

Yeah, Lon and Durango
are bringing the rest of it.

Good. Maybe we'll get something
done after all today.

That's all of it, Slim.

Good.

Lon, you and Bob
take that wagon.

Durango,
you take this one.

I'm gonna ride
the extra horse.

Hey, looks like
Bracket coming.

I think
he's alone though.

He ain't got a horse.

Ah, he's probably been
sitting up in the hills

just waiting for us
to get the work done.

I don't know.

The gambler looks
kind of like he drawed

to an inside straight
and didn't make it.

Here, take a snort.

You look like
you could use it.

See any of the horses?

I chased two of
them ornery critters
clean to the next canyon.

Couldn't get close to them.

Who got these?

All of us.

Lon got a couple of them.

Kid too?

Yeah, the kid too.

Well, now, your pa
will be real pleased.

Did you see him?

No. Ain't he back yet?

Not yet.
He'll find us easy
enough, though.

Just where are we
going, Sherman?

To work on the road.
Any objections?

Yeah, plenty.

Look, I say we get
out of here, and fast.

His old man'd say
the same thing!

Now you listen to me,
Bracket.

We don't have enough
horses to split up.

We can make it to Sinclair
working on that road

almost as fast
as we can going back to Laramie.

So we're moving on,
and that's final.

Now load up.

Hold it, Sherman.

You better hang on to this, Bob,
till Mr. Bracket cools off.

Why don't you take
the extra horse,

ride up ahead and maybe
you'll see your pa.

Thanks, Slim.

Like I said before,
load up!

Hey, Bracket,
if you're riding with me,
you better climb on.

I ain't as obliging as I was
to my passengers.

I had to cut him down,
Slim.

Come on, Bob.

Nothing we can do here.

We'll see about that.

Take care of things, Lon.

There's not much I can say, Bob,
except I'm sorry.

Think how I feel.

It seems like
all we ever did was fight.

Yeah, I know.

Just after you left your pa
said you had a lot of spunk.

He was gonna
tell you himself.

You know, there were times
I wished him dead.

Oh, I sure
take it back now.

Almost done more burying
with these than road building.

I'll tell you
when we're through.

Slim.

One of them did it,
didn't they?

Just like the others.

Maybe one of them,
maybe a couple of them.

There's just no reason,
that's what stops me.

Well, I'm gonna find out.

So am I, Bob.

N'Codee, Ned, Sam,
now your father.

Still could be an outsider
trying to pick us off.

I never could please him
when he was alive.

I'm gonna try
and do better now.

Don't do anything
you'll regret.

I won't regret it,
not one little bit.

The kid's sure
taking it hard,

considering the way him
and his old man

use to fight
all the time.

He's got a wild look about him
I don't much care for.

Leave him alone, Durango,
he has had a bad shock.

He'll snap out of it.

Well, then you tell him that.

He's coming up behind you
with a g*n in his hand.

I been thinking
what he would have done

if it had been me
hanging to that tree.

Probably the same thing
you're thinking on.

But he'd have
made sure first.

Don't worry,
I'm gonna make sure.

I'm just giving notice
that I'll get the man
that k*lled him

before this trip is over,
or he'll get me.

You might need this,
Bracket.

You reckon we can get
any work done

without our backs
turned to each other?

Soon find out.

Bob.Hey, let's get this over.

What's the matter, boy,
you thinking I'm the k*ller?

Well, if you want to make
your play with me

holding this boulder, son,

you just go right ahead.

Keep it moving, Durango.

No, wait up.

I want to show
this kid something.

I won't hurt him.

All right, kid, draw!

Go on, draw.

Ohh!

That was a fool trick, Durango.What's ailing him?

You heaved that boulder
on his foot, that's all.

It's broke.

You sure set me up
good, Durango.

Well, I didn't aim to.
I'm sorry.

I'll bet you are.Now, look, gambler,

I could have done a better job
if I was trying.

Lay off, both of you.

Holster that g*n, Durango.

Now finish clearing
and cut those horses around.

We better get him
down to the wagon.

Easy, boy, easy.

Ow!

[ loud groan ]

You proved you're faster
than me, Durango,

but if you turn out
to be the one
I'm looking for

don't you expect
no fair shootout from me,

'cause I'll take you
any way I can.

Might just be
a sprain.

Still put him
out of commission.

That fool Durango,
I ought to k*ll him.

Well, the way things are going,
somebody probably will.

It's not funny
anymore, Lon.

Yeah, I reckon not.

How much further
is that old way station?

About a mile or so.

We better head for it.

It gets dark fast
in these canyons.

We're gonna get you inside.

You stay off this ankle a spell
until we find out how bad it is.

That'll be a pleasure.

Let that Durango
do my share of the work.

Oh, yes, sure,
he'd be pleased to...

like a hawk building
a sparrow's nest for him.

Nothing personal
meant, friend.

That's enough here.

We're moving on
to the cabin.

Where's the oil
for the lantern, Slim?

Getting low.

I figure we might as well
have a light tonight

so's we can see
who's aiming to do us in.

Yeah.

Yeah, better take this
dynamite inside too.

Yeah, maybe it'll
go off and blow us
all to kingdom come.

Doesn't seem
to bother you much, Lon--

I mean, what's happened.

Well, about all I can do is
trust the luck.

I ain't as fast as Durango,
or as young as the kid,

as tricky as Bracket,
or as smart as you.

Well, I guess,
trusting the luck
is about all that's left.

Might as well.

Things is all planned out
for us anyways.

All I could find, Slim,
without cutting more.

That will do fine,

Durango is out
getting some more.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Guess I just miss
the old man yelling at me.

Sign of getting old, Bob,

when you start regretting
the things you didn't do.

Right now, Slim,
I'm a hundred years old.

Right now what you need is
some hot beans. Come on.

Who's cooking
tonight, Slim?

I'll do the cookin' if somebody
cleans up afterwards.

I'm going to get
some shut-eye tonight.

It'd take guts
to sleep thisnight.

Bracket must have guts then,

he's been sleeping
since we got here.

Ah, it's just his way
of getting out of work.

He's got a bad foot--
or have you forgotten?

Chances are it's not
as bad as he makes out.

I don't know.
It was sure swole up
last time I looked at it.

Can't see
how he can sleep with it.

Well, it's not swollen.

He's cold as ice.

Hey, Bracket?

Bracket!What's wrong, Slim?

Right under our noses,
by jingle.

That fool kid--
he's trying to get us all
for k*lling his old man!

That's a lie!

Make sure he won't be
getting up, would you, boy?

He won't be getting up.

I thought Durango
was faster than you, Lon.

It's funny what you can do
when you got to.

That little g*n slinger
was gonna k*ll the kid.

I wouldn't like that.

I'm lucky for that.

Don't be too sure, Bob.

Maybe Lon was
saving you for himself.

That about right?

Well, it took you long enough
to figure it out.

But I can't figure out why.

You mean...

Hold it.

Now both of you,
drop them g*n belts.

Kick them out of the way.

What's your game, Lon?

I can't figure you
working with the Sioux

no matter how low you are.

Why, thank you
for that, Slim.

No, I'm on my own.
All the way.

What about us?

You know
it ain't been easy

whittling you jaspers
down to just two.

So I ain't about
to spoil it now.

Boy, take that lamp oil
and spread it around some.

Oh, no.

Now, look, I can do it myself
after you're both dead

if you like,

but you'll just
save me the trouble

and we'll palaver some
while you work.

Work good, boy.

You know, I didn't have
much chance to tell the others

what this was all about.

I'd kind of like to--matter of
satisfaction, you know.

Half of Laramie
will be after you.

I wouldn't say that, Slim.

Now who would believe
a stumblebum like me

could have done in
seven of you gents
and one Injun?

Nope, when I tell 'em
the hostiles kept
picking us off,

then they burned down
this old cabin here
with the four of you in it,

why, they'll look
on me sort of hero-like.

Spread the oil, boy.

What'd you do, Lon?

Double back
through a side canyon
when you got Ned

when you were supposed to be
moving the camp up
to the cave?

Yeah. I had to do it
real fast, too.

That Injun friend
of yours saw me
k*ll big Sam,

so he had to go too.

But why did you k*ll Pa?

He had it coming.
Him and all the rest of you
did the same to my brothers.

What are you talking about?

Well, I didn't think
you would remember, Slim--

it's all in a day's work
to your kind--

but every man jack of you
on this work crew

rode in a posse
that strung up my kid brothers.

No trial or nothing.

That's the one
I told you about, Slim.

As I remember it,
a bank teller had been k*lled.

They didn't k*ll him. I did.

So your brothers paid
for something you did.

Maybe that's what's
kept me planning.

Planning some way
to get back at you.

You hung Pa.

That's right, friend.
Left him as a road marker.

Get your job done.

I should have known.
That bunch you hand-picked

for the crew
didn't make any sense.

Of course,
you didn't have much time.

I had been looking for a way
to get you all together,

and then this was
just plain handed to me.

Is that all of it?

Yeah.

Put it down over here.

Get over with him, Slim.

Don't sh**t, MacRae.

What are you doing?

I don't know but if you sh**t
we're gonna find out.

Your dropping that dynamite
ain't enough to set it off.

You sure, Lon?
That's 80%.

Or maybe
I'll just hold it here

and we'll see what happens.

You set it down
or I'll blast Sherman.

You do it I'll throw this
a country mile.

We got
nothing to lose, Lon.

Now put that g*n down.

Now, look, I'll make
a deal with you.

Yeah, like you dealt
with the others.

No, give me a horse
and a head start, that's all.

You'd just be waiting
on the trail for us.

Maybe I done
enough avenging.

And maybe I haven't.

Move over, Slim.
Move over!

Now who's got
nothing to lose?

I lay up this g*n,

you'll take me in
for sure.

You'll be alive.

Yeah, but not for long.

I'm gonna k*ll him.Don't do it, Bob.

After all he's done,
he's got it coming.

I know he does.
The law will handle him.

I'll take the g*n.

You don't have to.

I'm not gonna use it.

Better get you into town
and get that taken care of.

No, you can
take care of it.

We've got to finish
that road of yours.

I was hoping
you'd say that.

Well, it's not
as good as I could do,
but I guess it'll work.

Place sure did run down
in a hurry, huh?

Yeah,
what do you expect?

You out with the cavalry
putting down uprisings,
me building roads.

Hey, that reminds me.

We got a chuck hole out there
needs fixin'.

Since you're the big
road builder around here,

why don't you go out
and fill it in
before we bust in axle?

You don't seem to understand
about experts, Jess.

You see, they boss jobs.

What do you mean?

Here.

What am I gonna
do with this?

I'll tell you
what you can do with it.

Come on, old buddy.
