[bunniefuu]

[wind blowing]

[low dramatic music playing]

[pensive music playing]

[knuckles cracking]

[cell door opens]

[prison guard]

Up you get, Broadway.

[cell door closes]

[ominous music playing]

[cell door closes]

[ominous music continues]

[birds cawing]

[Jacob] The next day

Moses said to his people,

"You have

committed a great sin.

Now I will go up to the Lord.

Perhaps I can make atonement

for your sin."

So Moses returned

to the Lord and said,

"Oh, what a great sin

these people have committed.

They have made gods of gold

for themselves.

False idols they worshipped.

Yet now, if you would

only forgive their sin."

[quietly] May the Lord

bless his name.

In the name of Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God,

pray for us sinners.

Now and at the hour

of our death, Amen.

-Pa, I...

-What are you

doing here, boy?

Received a letter

from a priest.

Father Jacobs.

-Came to see me die?

-No, sir. I...

I... I mean, yes...

sir.

You know

who done this to me?

Yes, sir.

Mama told me.

-Say his name.

-Sheriff Butler of Trinity.

I suffered in jail

all these years.

I know, Pa.

My soul can't rest

as long as

he's on this earth.

You know what you got to do.

[Jacob] Isaac Broadway,

redemption comes to those

who turn themselves over

to God.

[gallows thuds]

-[man screams]

-Pa, please, tell them you

didn't k*ll those people!

Promise me you'll do it, son.

Let me take some condolence

up onto those gallows.

Say it. Tell me you promise.

-I-- I promise.

-[Issac] And after

you've done it,

you look to God

for your reward.

-[gallows clattering]

-[crowd gasping]

Your house

is the house of God.

-[prison guard] Time's up.

-[indistinct chatter]

[foreboding music playing]

[bird cawing]

You'll see Mama soon, Pa!

I won't see her for the flames.

[foreboding music crescendos]

[gallows clattering]

[gasps softly]

[chuckles]

-[music fades]

-[people murmuring]

-[distant bell tolling]

-My condolences, son.

They burn the bodies

to ward off cholera.

They come out as ashes.

Some families

spread the ashes.

Some keep them.

Others put up a cross

where the body ought be.

[sighs]

Did he confess anything

on the way to the gallows?

He was framed.

Aren't they all?

-[melancholy music playing]

-[man] Sign here, please.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[horse neighing]

[melancholy music continues]

[stagecoach driver]

Whoa, there!

[indistinct chatter]

[horse neighs softly]

[Henry grunts]

[indistinct chatter]

-[indistinct chatter]

-[cutlery clinking]

[innkeeper] Getting something?

[Henry] No, thank you.

[innkeeper]

You gotta order somethin'

if you wanna stay.

Go on feed the boy.

I'll pay.

-Bring me

another drink, please.

-[innkeeper] Yes, sir.

[horse neighing outside]

[sighs]

-Do I know you, mister?

-No.

But it's impolite

to turn down a free drink.

I don't actually drink.

Then I'll just go and have one

for your friend here.

[exhales]

-Where you headed?

-Trinity.

That's quite the journey.

And just who might this be?

My pa.

-I'm taking him home.

-Condolences.

Mind if I ask how he passed?

-Hanged.

-What?

Outlaw?

He was framed.

By the Sheriff of Trinity.

Now why would the Sheriff

do a thing like that?

-[glass shattering]

-[man] You cheatin'

son of a b*tch!

-I'll k*ll you!

-[man 2 groans]

[innkeeper]

Cool it, Peter. Cool it.

[grunts] g*dd*mn it!

Here.

You might need this.

They call me

St. Christopher, by the way.

He... Henry Broadway.

'[pats on back]

Go on, put that up,

Henry Broadway.

[horse neighing]

[intriguing music playing]

[horse neighs]

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

[man 1] Can you tell your daddy

he owe me two-day's pay,

please?

[indistinct chatter]

[man 2] Get your a*s

out of here!

[man 3 groans]

Get out of here

before I whoop your a*s!

-Get out!

-[horse neighs]

[dramatic suspenseful

music playing]

-[boy] Hey, Sheriff.

-[Sheriff] Hey boys.

What's he up to?

[suspenseful music continues]

[low indistinct chatter]

[door creaking]

[Sheriff sighs]

[music fades]

[soft thud]

[low suspenseful music playing]

[footsteps thudding softly]

[g*n c*ck]

Sheriff Saul Butler,

my name is Henry Broadway.

And I'm the one

who's gonna k*ll you.

Did you hear me?

[chuckles softly]

I heard you, son.

But before you do that...

I'd advise you to lift up

the back of my coat.

[suspenseful music playing]

[g*n c*ck]

[Sheriff] Now...

I'm gonna stand up.

Turn around very slowly.

Hmm?

If you're gonna

sh**t a man...

you should at least try

to look him in the eye.

Look at me.

I'm looking at you.

My name...

is Gabriel Dove.

-You're the Sheriff of Trinity?

-That I am.

-But you're not Saul Butler?

-[Gabriel] Afraid not.

Let's take these outside.

This is no place for them

in the house of God.

Easy now, easy.

-Where is he?

-[Gabriel]

I'll take you to him.

Hmm?

When we walk out these doors,

we will attract attention.

And when I've convinced you

I'm not the man

you came here to k*ll,

I'd like you to

give yourself up peacefully.

Can you do that?

Yes, sir.

All right, then.

One step at a time.

-[indistinct chatter]

-[suspenseful music continues]

[Gabriel] Henry, is it?

I need you to tell me,

are people watching?

[Henry] Yeah.

Is there a man

in a wolfskin coat

approaching with his son?

[Henry] Yeah,

I think I see him.

[Gabriel] Are they armed?

-[boy] Look up, it's Sheriff.

-[Henry] Yes, sir.

They're coming this way.

All right, McCaughly.

Put it down,

I can handle this.

[man] Sheriff.

Are you all right there?

You seem to be

having a spot 'o bother.

All's well,

thank you, Gideon.

You'll see that it's possible

to have justice

and leave

a few hearts beating.

-[horse neighing]

-Henry...

I want you to look

into the churchyard now.

It'll be here. Come around,

come around, come around.

Easy now, easy,

easy, son, easy.

What does it say?

[Henry] Saul Butler.

[Gideon]

What's the boy after?

[horse neighs]

Well...

he thinks Saul

wronged him in some way.

[Gideon] Must be mistaken.

Saul never wronged anyone.

Obviously,

he's been misinformed.

If you want to sh**t b*ll*ts

at the headstone

for the sheer

poetry of it all...

I won't stop you.

[g*n thuds]

[g*n uncocks]

[g*n clatters]

[Gabriel grunts]

Hmm.

What's your beef with Butler?

He framed my father.

Sent him to the gallows.

[Gabriel] Hmm.

Did he now?

All right, everyone.

Back to business.

We're all through here.

Go on now. It's all good here.

-It's all good.

-[horse neighing]

-[indistinct chatter]

-Are you arresting me?

For wanting to

sh**t me in the back?

I'd have to

arrest half the town.

In here.

Sam, a whiskey

for my young friend here

and a coffee for me.

Um, about that

whiskey, Sheriff,

-I don't actually drink.

-[Gabriel] Take a seat.

Take a seat.

He's with me, Chuck.

Henry Broadway.

That would make your father

Isaac Broadway.

-You know him?

-No. He built half this town.

Everyone knows

the name Isaac Broadway.

You didn't know?

I didn't see him

after he went to prison,

after my mama died.

[Gabriel] Hmm.

Uh, let me give

you a bit of advice.

Keep your ancestry

between us.

-Not every man

who's known is loved.

-[door opens]

-[footsteps approaching]

-People don't like him?

[Gabriel] Well...

[Gideon] Morning, Sam.

Every town has

its heroes and villains.

-[Gideon] Two of your finest.

-In this town,

Saul Butler was the hero

and Isaac Broadway

was the villain.

Now Butler's dead.

You being Broadway's son,

I wouldn't want anyone to get

a lust for vengeance.

How did he die?

They think

it was a Blackfoot girl.

-[Henry] Was it?

-I don't believe it was.

You came here

to k*ll the Sheriff.

What was your plan

after that?

[Henry] I didn't really

have a plan.

I spent all I had

just trying to get here.

Sam, do me a favor.

Feed this young boy

and give him a room

for the night.

Long as you're paying.

In the morning,

I want you to get in that coach

and get as far away

from this town as you can.

I'm sorry

for trying to k*ll you.

You could have been a hero.

[Gabriel] Like I said...

heroes and villains.

Don't get caught

on the wrong side

of that coin.

[low indistinct chatter]

-[woman] Gabriel.

-[Gabriel] Hello.

[chuckles] She came to say

Rachel's not feeling well.

[Gabriel] Oh.

Ah.

Good girl, Mabel.

Taking care of Rachel.

Let me see

what I've got here.

-Okay.

-[Mabel gasps] Candy.

There you go. That's for you.

Don't tell anyone

I gave you sweets.

-Thank you.

-[Gabriel] Good girl.

I'm worried for you.

People are riled up.

Don't worry.

I'm still faster than they are.

Go see Rachel now.

Go.

[kisses] Love you.

-Go. Bye-bye now, Mabel.

-[woman] Come on, honey.

-[indistinct chatter]

-[soft piano music playing]

-[indistinct chatter]

-[horse snorts]

-I know you're there, Gideon.

-Gabriel, just a word.

I just want to know

what you're gonna do

about that

murdering Indian girl.

Well, first...

There's no evidence

that Running Cub,

a Blackfoot girl, not an Injun,

actually k*lled Saul Butler.

-See, I believe there is.

-Well, leaving that aside...

she's gone.

Even if I wanted to hand her

over to you for a lynching,

it's a basic challenge

to arrest a person

who's not there.

Aye, see,

there's a fur trapper

from up north,

and he claims that he saw

someone that looks like her

up by Strawberry Creek.

Uh-huh.

By "looks like her,"

do you mean a Blackfoot?

Hmm? There are

several thousands of them.

Maybe you should just

deputize me,

seeing you can't

find anyone.

I'll look into it.

I will. Thank you

for your civic duty.

Piece of sh*t.

It's probably

just a bad meal.

[soft piano music playing]

But it's near time.

Keep off your feet.

And your back.

[women chuckle]

Can you handle her clientele

on top of yours?

On top?

You mean stacked up

like a pile of pancakes?

-What am I supposed to do?

-Rest.

I know one man who's not

gonna let her rest.

Well, he doesn't have a choice.

-[door opens]

-You gotta think

about the baby

-more than anyone else.

-[door closes]

-[Mabel] Hi, Mama.

-Oh, there's my girl.

Hi, sweetie.

You did real good

bringing Ms. Sarah.

Very responsible,

aren't you, Mabel?

Okay.

Where'd you get that candy?

Gabriel said not to tell.

[both chuckle]

Oh, well.

He would have made

such a good father.

Shouldn't you get back?

Yeah. Yeah.

Go, sweetie. Let's go.

[low dramatic music playing]

[water flowing nearby]

[horse snorts]

Hello?

Hello?

Come on out.

I know you're in there.

You're behind me.

[g*n uncocks]

Of course you are. [chuckles]

The fur trapper said

he saw you.

Gideon's fixing

and gathering up a posse.

I talked him out of it.

Next time,

it'll not be so easy.

Gideon fought

with Saul in the w*r.

He won't rest.

This land holds

the spirit of my family.

Just as they stood

their ground before me...

I ain't leaving.

Fair enough.

I got you some supplies.

-[jaunty tune playing]

-[loud chatter and laughter]

[Sam] Here for supper?

Um, could I also get

a glass of whiskey, please?

The hell do I care?

Sheriff's paying for it.

Well, hello, handsome boy.

Take that hat off. [chuckles]

You just arrived?

-What's your name?

-Uh, uh, Henry.

I'm just here

till tonight, miss.

Well, Henry...

I think that you deserve a rest

after all your travels.

Don't you think?

Yeah, I... I plan on resting.

[chuckles]

Oh, you are too damn cute.

Well, are you just gonna stare

at my girls all night,

or are you gonna

buy me a drink?

I... I don't

actually have any money.

Well, how'd you get

that whiskey, then?

Uh. The Sheriff.

Oh, well, ain't that grand.

Sam, you mind putting me

on Henry's tab?

I'll put you down

as a steak dinner.

Another steak dinner.

Well, look at that.

Now you got

two steak dinners.

Which one

are you gonna try first?

-[low foreboding music playing]

-Pour us a g*dd*mn drink, Sam.

[Austin] You stay there.

Hold my hat.

[Asa] Where's my drink? Hmm?

[indistinct clamor]

-[table thuds]

-[man exclaims, chuckles]

The hell you looking at, boy?

What's that?

I don't want

no trouble, mister.

-[Asa] Hmm.

-[Julia] It's an urn, Asa.

For someone who died,

don't be so mean about it.

It's my pa.

You brought

your dead daddy here

for a drink, huh?

-Answer me, boy.

-Yeah.

Let's buy him a round!

-[crowd laughing]

-[Austin whoops]

Come on, sweetie,

let's get out of here.

Get your things.

[Asa] Hey, Julia...

tell Rachel

to get her a*s over here.

She ain't working

till that baby comes, Asa.

[Asa] Then you can

take her place.

You'll wait your turn

just like everybody else.

[Asa] Don't take too long,

little boy.

-I know you won't.

-[Austin chuckles]

-Hmm. Thank you.

-Hmm.

-[horse snorts]

-You know why I can't leave.

You know the truth.

What happened

to my mother and my father.

You know Butler k*lled them.

[Gabriel] He's dead.

Staying here and dying

won't bring justice.

[fire crackling]

The truth can't die

with those who carry secrets.

Someone has to be there

to tell it.

When you left your place...

were you still you?

When I left Ireland...

I meant to leave it behind.

Did you?

No.

Not all of it.

I still had

the heartbeat of who I was...

where I came from.

The memories...

of the sorrows of my youth.

[fire continues crackling]

[soft music playing]

[Julia] You ain't gonna

tell me you've never

been with a girl, right?

Um, I've never

really had the time.

[chuckles] Well, most men

take no time at all.

Hey, look at me.

Give me your hand.

I'm just gonna

make you feel good, okay?

See? Doesn't that feel good?

-Yeah.

-It's gonna be okay.

You're gonna have to let go

for just a second. [chuckles]

You can kiss me

if you'd like.

-[banging on door]

-[Asa] C'mon in there!

-I ain't got all f*ck' night!

-Shut up, Asa.

You'll have your turn

when it's your turn.

[sighs]

[chuckles] Come here, sugar.

-[loud banging on door]

-[Julia sighs]

[Asa] Open the g*dd*mn door.

[Julia] Let me

take care of this.

-[banging on door]

-Stop banging on my damn door!

Go back downstairs

and wait for your g*dd*mn turn!

My turn.

Get out! Now!

You gonna point that at me?

Oh, I'm gonna do

a lot more than point

if you don't leave right now.

-[dramatic music plays]

-[Julia grunts]

-[g*nsh*t]

-[Julia groans]

[Asa] g*dd*mn it.

-[Julia grunts, groans]

-[Asa grunting]

[Julia panting]

You f*cking shot me.

We're gonna have some fun.

[dramatic music crescendos]

[g*nsh*t]

[Asa groans]

-[woman screams] Oh, my God!

-[man] Is that Asa?

[indistinct chatter]

What the hell?

[Henry] Oh!

Oh!

Oh.

[sobs]

-[indistinct chatter]

-[horse neighing]

[Henry groans,

breathes heavily]

Go.

-Asa! Asa!

-Asa!

[Red] Hey! Move back!

Move the f*ck back! Down!

sh*t.

-He's dead. He's dead!

-Boy! Where are you, boy?

Boy! I'll come for you, boy!

[suspenseful music playing]

I'll take the path, you go!

-What'd you see?

What'd you see?

-[Nora] I saw nothing!

[Red] Boy!

I'm coming for you, boy!

I know you're here,

chicken sh*t!

[horse snorts]

-Come on out and be a man.

-[pigs squealing]

[Red] Ain't no way out,

little boy.

[pigs squealing]

Look at that. Oink. Oink.

Now you're gonna die

in a pile of pig sh*t.

-[Henry screams]

-[Red groans]

-[Henry grunts]

-[pigs squealing]

[Henry groans]

[Red] You f*cking b*stard!

[Henry] It was a mistake!

I didn't...

-[Red yells]

-[Henry groaning]

[both struggling]

[groaning raspily]

[Henry screaming and panting]

It's all right.

[Henry panting]

-We're gonna need

another horse.

-[Henry groans]

-Come on.

-[Henry grunting]

[dramatic music playing]

Sheriff!

Sheriff!

-Who's there?

-Sarah, it's McCaughly.

Is Sheriff there.

He needs to come to town now.

There's been a sh**ting.

There's two dead.

That miner named Asa

and Julia from the saloon.

-Is Rachel all right?

-She's shook up. Everybody is.

Seems like there ain't no law

around here no more.

Is the Sheriff there?

No.

Ain't nobody gonna be happy

with that, Sarah.

I'll come.

Just let me get dressed.

[dramatic music playing]

-[Gideon] Where's the Sheriff?

-[McCaughly]

He's gonna be here.

[Gideon] You.

You're the deputy?

Is this what this

town has for the law?

[scoffs]

God help us, boys.

If Saul was still alive,

we'd have someone

dangling by now.

I'm not here for the dead.

I'm here for who's living.

Leave everything as it is

for when the Sheriff gets here.

[Sarah] Rachel. Rachel

[Rachel sobs]

What am I supposed to do?

That's my baby's daddy.

And he's dead.

[cries]

[somber music playing]

Rachel, you need to lie down.

-Breathe in, calm down.

-[breathing deeply]

-Yeah, good girl.

-Where's your husband?

Where's your husband?

He's on his way.

-[panting]

-[Sarah] Breathe in, good girl.

[soft music playing]

-[water flowing]

-[Henry grunts]

Here, use this.

[Henry panting]

[St. Christopher]

You sure got friendly

with that Sheriff awful fast.

Thought you said

he framed your daddy.

[laughs]

It was the wrong sheriff.

Well, now you on the run.

I think it was God...

punishing me for trying to be

with that woman.

[St. Christopher laughing]

Some might say it's a sin

not to be with a woman

when she calls.

That sounds like something

your daddy would say.

And what would you know

about my father? [panting]

[St. Christopher] Oh, I know

your daddy real, real well.

Before the w*r,

I was gainfully unemployed

on a plantation owned by

an old banker in Savannah.

I met your daddy when

the Union Army come through,

burning up everything.

I knew

where some gold was hid,

and I told your daddy about it.

Me and him

stole enough gold...

paved the streets

of heaven. [chuckles]

And we planned

to go out west with this

Blackfoot couple as our guide.

[Henry exhales sharply]

That's right, Henry...

that same Blackfoot couple

they hanged your daddy

for k*lling.

But he pulled

a fast one on me.

He negotiated

with some paddy rollers

for the rights to my person.

He sold you?

Yeah, the w*r was still on,

people were still buying

and selling sl*ves.

So I guess he didn't see

nothing wrong with selling

my Black a*s

to make a little extra

and keeping my share.

[Henry grunts]

You're here for that gold?

Been looking for it

since the w*r ended.

[grunts] I told you

my pa was framed.

Sheriff Saul Butler...

used to be a lawman

in Savannah.

I used to hear stories

about him moving out here

somewhere to

a place called Trinity,

looking for that

old banker's gold.

So maybe he probably had

a good reason to frame

your daddy...

you think?

You think

I know where that gold is?

I don't know. Do you?

No!

-[chuckling]

-[water splashing]

[Sarah]

That's a beautiful river.

[door opens, closes]

-[footsteps approaching]

-[Sarah] You had a long night.

Hi, Sheriff.

Hello, Mabel.

I see you're minding her.

Where were you last night?

-Maybe, uh...

-Mabel?

Go upstairs

and start your reading.

Okay, bye, Sheriff.

Good girl.

I'm okay.

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

Come sit down.

Come sit down.

[Gabriel sighs wearily]

I tell you, that Gideon's

like a bag of weasels.

sh**ting his mouth off,

wanting to go take a posse

down to Strawberry Creek

and get that Blackfoot girl

who k*lled Sheriff Butler.

I... I just figured

I'd better go out there

before there was

any bloodshed.

While you were gone,

three people were k*lled

in town.

-Who?

-[Sarah] Asa and Red

Benton and...

and her mama.

I'm sorry.

I am sorry.

I told them to

leave everything as it was.

It's good.

It's very good.

[indistinct chatter]

[horse snorts]

Where's Red?

Where were you?

I won't ask you again, Sam.

Red's dead.

Uh-huh.

He's with the pigs.

-[door opens]

-[pigs snorting and squealing]

-Get off!

-[pigs squealing]

f*ck!

I want the boy

that did this to our brother.

[pigs grunting]

[footsteps approaching]

[sighs]

-[sighs]

-[footsteps approaching]

It was that boy

that you brought here

done that.

Asa's brothers are not gonna

rest till they make him bleed.

You know that, right?

Where do you think

he was standing?

-Who?

-The kid.

When he shot 'em both.

I don't know. Enlighten me.

You're the Sheriff.

[chuckles]

That's funny, Gideon.

Because I swear to God,

every day you're telling me

how to do my job.

I just want to see

some justice.

Justice needs to be

based on the truth.

What you want

is not justice.

It's blood.

Right.

And there's no

g*dd*mn Indian girl

out by Strawberry Creek.

Now, get out of my way.

-[pensive music playing]

-[horse galloping]

Where are you headed?

I'm gonna look for the boy.

I'm gonna go up there

and look for him, okay?

-[sighs] Please be careful.

-I will. All right.

[tense music playing]

[horse snorts]

[St. Christopher] Come on out.

Henry, this is Jacob.

Jacob...

I'd like you to meet

Isaac Broadway's son, Henry.

What's he doing here?

Uh, Jacob is

a respected stage actor.

Uh, so I'm told.

I engaged his services

to get a confession

out your daddy.

But your father would not

release his tongue, young man.

Though I didn't catch

what he whispered to you

at the end there.

-[rocks clattering]

-[suspenseful music playing]

-Now, who are these jokers?

-[Jacob] Oh, we go way back.

Treading the boards

back east.

[chuckles]

Ain't that right, fellas?

We had an arrangement.

And I plan to stick to it.

Just call it

divine inspiration.

Well, y'all can divinely

pass the collection plate

amongst yourself.

Because I ain't giving up

none of my share.

All right, y'all.

I'm going to hie.

[Jacob]

Don't harm the kid.

Go ahead.

He'll be along

in a minute.

-Who'll be along?

-Sheriff.

We left a pretty clear path

for him to follow.

In case it ain't

obvious to you, Henry,

I'm offering you a opportunity

to make a life for yourself.

To make good

on where your daddy failed.

If you help me find that gold,

you can keep his share.

It would have been

your inheritance anyway.

Why would you

want to share it?

I ain't the devil, son.

[chuckling] I'm just a sinner.

We had always planned

to settle down somewhere

and bury the gold.

Keep it safe.

Mm, dig up some

every now and then

when he needed it.

You do remember the house

where you were born,

don't you?

-I, uh...

-[St. Christopher] No?

I... I don't remember.

Well, I hope to hell it comes

to you soon, because I believe

that's where your daddy

buried that gold

and he built the house

on top of it.

All right.

I got ambushing to do.

I don't want to be

no villain.

[sighs] Man don't know

what he is

till his back's against

the wall, Henry.

[low foreboding music playing]

[footsteps receding]

Am I just supposed

to stay here?

[suspenseful music playing]

Are you following?

I'm waiting on you.

I saw them other fellas

come through here earlier

and I figured

you'd be through.

Uh-huh.

-I'm coming with you.

-No.

You stay out of sight.

[sighs] You understand

you can't do this alone?

You understand

if we're seen together,

I have to arrest you.

[horse snorts]

[suspenseful music continues]

[Gabriel] I've been

looking for you.

You want to tell me

what happened last night?

I didn't k*ll that woman.

-Hmm.

-But... [hesitates]

After that,

I can't quite remember.

Huh. You're lying to me.

-I'm not.

-[g*nshots]

[dramatic music playing]

[g*nshots]

[g*nshots]

-[man groans]

-Come on, come on.

[g*nshots]

[groans]

I see you made

new friends.

They're not my friends.

I don't even know 'em.

A priest?

I don't think

he's a real priest.

-[Henry panting]

-Like a Lutheran.

[g*nshots]

sh**t this, at that mark.

-[sputters] Which rock?

-What?

-Five seconds.

-Five.

-Four.

-[g*nshots]

-Two. [grunts]

-[g*n fires]

[g*nshots]

[Running Cub grunts]

[man grunting]

[g*nshots]

[man screams]

[grunting]

[suspenseful music playing]

-[Jacob gasps]

-Drop it. Easy, boy-o.

You want to tell your friends

to put their g*ns down now?

-[g*n fires]

-[man groans]

-[Jacob grunts]

-[Gabriel groans]

[both grunting]

[suspenseful music continues]

[Jacob grunts]

[Gabriel groaning]

-[Jacob pants]

-[panting] Do it, Henry.

That boy ain't

gonna k*ll nobody.

Do it, Henry. Do it.

[g*nsh*t]

[g*nsh*t echoes]

[panting]

You're a good man.

[grunts]

[tense music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

You go to the barn.

I'll be over shortly.

[horse snorts]

[pensive music playing]

[groans]

Ah, that young fella

who came into town

stirring everything up...

[chuckles]

He's Isaac Broadway's son.

-[Sarah] Little Henry.

-[Gabriel] Aye, you knew him?

I brought him into this world

right over there.

What?

He's a m*rder*r?

No, no, no.

He's not a m*rder*r.

I don't know what he is,

but he's not that.

Listen, I'm gonna put the r*fle

by the door, okay?

Someone comes along

who you don't know,

even if it's a man of God,

especially if it's

a man of God,

costume and all,

soon as he opens

his mouth, you sh**t him.

-You hear me?

-Costume?

Aye.

Evil's wearing

all kinds of things

these days.

-[water flowing]

-[distant birdcalls]

[suspenseful music playing]

[sighs]

[horse snorts]

[footsteps approaching]

Here's the blanket.

You know... [sighs]

When I came out here,

all I wanted was

to make him proud.

My ma used to talk

about him.

He was innocent.

He was a good man.

[sighs] He loved us.

[Gabriel] Hmm.

Turns out the only thing

he ever cared about

was a pile of gold.

[scoffs] Gold?

-[sighs]

-[Henry] Yeah.

He stole it from the south.

Huge pile of it.

Then he came here

with the Indians.

Yeah, I'm sure

he cared for you.

[Henry] Bullshit.

[sighs]

I know it's bullshit.

Because if he loved us,

he would have

told my ma about it.

[melancholy music playing]

Huge pile of gold?

Could have changed our lives.

Could have saved her life.

[exhales]

And it's sitting under

the house he built

this entire time.

Henry...

This was

your father's house.

You were born here.

I thought this was yours.

[Gabriel] Actually,

it belongs to the town.

Saul Butler made

sure of that.

Hmm. Jesus, he tore it down

and built it so many times,

we all thought

he was crazy.

He must have been

looking for the gold.

And that's why

he k*lled her parents.

He must have...

-Well...

-What?

[inhales]

I believe

I can clear your name

and Running Cub's.

How many of those men

are still alive?

[sighs] Just the one.

Former sl*ve,

stole the gold with my pa.

-Now he wants it back.

-[Gabriel] Right.

You k*lled

one of those men.

Now you ride with me.

Come in and have a bowl of soup

when you're ready.

[upbeat music playing]

-[music stops]

-[indistinct chatter]

Bartender, whiskey.

-[man] What's he doing here?

-[exhales]

Jesus.

What happened to you,

little lady?

It's nothing.

[Austin] Why don't you

mind your business, hmm?

[g*n c*ck]

-That's our sister.

-[chuckles]

If that's my sister,

she's bruised up like that,

I might want to

find out who did that.

Cut that

son of a b*tch's throat.

[thuds]

[grunts]

Ah! [inhales deeply]

[exhales] Good evening,

ladies and gentlemen.

I use that term lightly.

I bet you all wondering...

what a handsome devil

like myself

with a distinctly

different complexion,

is doing

wandering into your

humble establishment.

But if you look

past my negritude,

you will find

that we ain't that different.

Where are you from?

-Georgia, sir. You?

-Georgia.

[laughs] I knew

I felt something familiar.

Are you just trying

to get yourself k*lled?

Well, sir, now,

if you went and did that,

you might not find out

where that

little Blackfoot girl

you've been running off

at the mouth about is hiding.

And you do want

to know where she is...

don't you?

If you know

where she is...

I think you're

going to tell me.

Maybe.

Ah, I see.

-I'm pretty certain about that.

-Ooh, that's a big one.

[Gideon chuckles softly]

But if you buy me

another drink...

you're g*dd*mn right

I'll tell you.

Another whiskey'd be grand.

-[tense music playing]

-[indistinct chatter]

Here comes the Sheriff, Pa.

High time the law

means something around here.

Gabriel. Turns out

there is an Indian woman

up by Strawberry Creek.

But you already

knew that, didn't you?

So I guess I'll go

and do your job for you.

Don't be a gobshite, Gideon.

Do you want to make

your son here Thomas

an orphan?

Come on, Pa.

[Gideon] Let's go, men.

[men urging horses]

Howdy, Sheriff.

Morning.

-Nice town.

-Good people.

If you ever need

any help with anything,

let me know.

I always thought

I'd make a good lawman.

[chuckles] Did you now?

Yeah, don't let me keep you.

Go and catch up with them boys.

And make sure they bring

that girl back proper

and in one piece.

[distant horse neighing]

Welcome to Trinity.

-I hear you're a saintly man.

-Hmm.

Let's have a drink

when you get back.

Shall we do that now?

[horse galloping]

Can't wait. [exhales]

[dramatic music playing]

Do what you do

And you do, what you do

Do what you do

And you do, what you do

[chuckling]

[dramatic music continues]

[St. Christopher] Hello.

Oh, hi, ma'am.

Do you mind if I, uh,

get a drink?

Been riding all day.

I'm thirsty as all hell.

[Sarah] You a holy man?

A holy man? No, ma'am.

I... I sure ain't.

[Sarah] Stay back, please.

What's the matter?

You all right?

There's water

in the well over there.

You can help yourself.

Thank you, ma'am.

Appreciate it.

[St. Christopher grunts]

[suspenseful music playing]

[horse snorts]

Uh, ma'am... [grunts]

Is there anybody

who might could help me

pull this heavy bucket up?

My shoulder's...

really bad, and I...

I don't think I can

get it up by myself.

My husband's upstairs,

but, uh, he's... he's resting.

All right.

I can bring you a cup

from the house,

and I'll leave it

on the porch.

That'd be mighty fine, ma'am.

Mighty fine. Appreciate it.

[suspenseful music continues]

-[Sarah] Here you go.

-Thank you.

[sighs]

[grunts]

[exhales]

I'm sorry

I can't be of more help.

-[mumbles]

-[Sarah hesitates]

But I don't want to

wake my husband.

I completely

understand, ma'am.

I... I tell my daughter

all the time,

do not let strangers

in your house,

-even if the husband's home.

-You have a daughter.

[chuckling] Yes, sure do.

Light of my life.

Well, one of them, anyhow.

Her son, my grandbaby...

[chuckles]

Oh, that is

the most angelic child

you ever laid eyes on.

[sighs] You...

You have children?

No.

[St. Christopher]

Hmm. Mm-hmm. Hmm.

Whoo, Lord.

[groans] You mind if I...

[exhales] ...sit for a spell,

take a load off?

-Of course.

-[St. Christopher] Hmm.

Whoo, Lord. [groans]

-Are you all right?

-[St. Christopher] Mm-hmm.

Riding old Blue

all day. [chuckles]

-[horse snorts]

-Come inside.

-You sure? Huh.

-I'm sure.

-[Sarah chuckles]

-[suspenseful music playing]

-[water pouring]

-Thank you.

[Sarah] If you don't mind,

I'm fixing supper.

No, go right ahead.

I'm Sarah...

Sarah Dove.

Maiden name, Creuzburg.

[St. Christopher] Oh.

Always make sure

to tell people that,

in case they know my kin.

Hmm. I'm, uh,

Christopher, ma'am.

Uh. But most folk

call me St. Christopher.

My husband's

the Sheriff of this town.

That right?

I don't imagine

you've seen a boy

running around here,

have you?

Name Henry Broadway?

Uh, he's in a bit of trouble.

I'm trying to help him out.

You know Henry Broadway?

-Yeah, you?

-Uh...

Yeah, I did...

when he was young.

Do you mind if I have

another cup of water, please?

Sure.

Thank you.

You're a good woman, Ms. Dove.

The name suits you.

Well, Henry, um...

used to talk a lot

about the house

that his daddy built.

Think it made him

feel young and innocent

before he got in

all this trouble.

[suspenseful music playing]

You wouldn't, um,

happen to know where

that house is, would you?

I think that's

where he's hiding.

Ms. Dove?

No.

No, you don't know

where this house is?

You know him

when he was a boy,

but you don't know

where he lived.

Ms. Dove?

You all right?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I'm just, uh, thinking.

You seem a little flustered.

I didn't mean to upset you.

[suspenseful music continues]

-It's this house.

-This house?

I haven't seen him.

He's probably hiding

out somewhere,

-in the forest, perhaps.

-[laughs]

Something funny?

How does you

and your husband...

happen to live in this place?

It belongs to the town.

We live here

because he's the Sheriff.

A convict's house?

-The town decided,

it wasn't me.

-[footsteps approaching]

My husband

wasn't even here then.

-[Mabel] Sarah!

-[Sarah] Mabel.

Mabel, the supper will be

ready in an hour, yeah?

Now, go on upstairs.

You hear me?

Mayhap you might want

to send her outdoor to play.

Go.

-[g*nsh*t]

-[horse neighing]

[dramatic music plays]

Gold's not here.

-I don't believe you.

-I swear.

This your daddy's house,

ain't it?

Saul Butler tore it apart

again and again looking for it.

If it was here,

he'd have found it.

Well, where is it then?

-My pa built half the town.

-It could be anywhere.

Anywhere?

Anywhere...

ain't a good enough answer.

[sighs]

Where are you going?

[low tense music playing]

[horse snorts]

-[intense music playing]

-[horse neighs]

[men urging horses]

[all urging horses]

[Gabriel] Running Cub!

Where are you?

Running Cub!

[panting] You gotta

get out of here.

You gotta leave right now.

There's a posse on their way.

And they're coming for you.

I ain't running from no posse.

It's time.

Get on your horse

and get the hell

out of here.

I'm gonna have to try

and convince these people

and talk some sense into them.

Ain't no sense

in this godforsaken place.

I'm staying.

Oh, sweet Jesus.

[foreboding music playing]

[horses snorting]

[Gideon] There she is, lads.

-Go, bring her in.

-[indistinct chatter]

[suspenseful music playing]

Running Cub!

We are here to arrest you

for the m*rder

of Sheriff Saul Butler.

Come on now,

give yourself up.

Come on up.

[suspenseful music continues]

Now, put your hands up.

Higher.

-Saul Butler was a m*rder*r.

-m*rder*r?

Nah.

-He k*lled my father,

my mother.

-You k*lled him!

[Gabriel] No, she didn't.

That's why I didn't arrest her.

Be careful, son.

-She's innocent.

-And how do you know that?

Because I k*lled him.

Her only crime

was wanting justice.

For God's sakes, Gideon.

He was gonna k*ll a child.

I stopped him.

-By gunning him down?

-Hmm.

It's the God's honest truth,

Gideon.

I know a lot of you

fought with Saul.

It doesn't change the truth.

[Gideon] Well,

it doesn't change the fact

that he was m*rder*d!

If you keep thinking

like that...

half of us will die.

No!

-[dramatic music playing]

-[g*nshots]

[horses neighing]

[g*nshots]

[Gideon] Thomas!

[groans]

[grunts]

[horse whinnies]

[grunts, groans]

-[horses neigh]

-[Thomas wheezes]

-No, no, no, Thomas! No!

-[Thomas coughs]

-[wheezes]

-[Gideon] It's okay.

Hold on.

[inhales shakily]

[exhales]

[breathing heavily]

[dramatic music playing]

-[Henry] What happened?

-It was Gideon.

Gideon and his men.

-She okay?

-[Gabriel] Yeah.

She got one. In the side.

-Come on.

-[Running Cub groans]

[Gabriel] Lost a lot of blood.

Let me get Sarah.

St. Christopher was here.

I told him there was no gold,

and he left.

I don't know where.

Good. Next time,

sh**t the f*ck.

[Running Cub gasping]

Hey, hey, hey.

[somber music playing]

[Running Cub] I remember you.

[breathing shakily]

Our fathers were...

friends. [chuckles]

I taught you to ride.

You... you remember?

Remember that? [gasps]

[soft music playing]

"Dust thou art

to dust returnest...

is not spoken of the soul."

[chuckles]

I'm gonna learn to read,

so I can read that to my baby.

-Oh.

-[horse neighing]

[Rachel chuckles]

Appreciate you

breaking your rules for me.

Yeah, thank you

for being careful.

[man shouting in distance]

[both chuckle]

[distant indistinct clamor]

-Our town!

-[people murmuring]

As long as

Gabriel Dove is still alive...

oh, I ask you...

-do you have my back?

-[scattered] Yeah.

I said, who has my back?

[crowd] Yeah. [cheering]

-[g*nsh*t]

-[Gideon] Do you have my back?

-[Gideon] Justice!

-[g*nsh*t]

Well, my friends.

Did I guide you right,

or I guide you wrong?

Was she there?

[Gideon] Aye.

[St. Christopher]

Did you k*ll her?

My son is dead,

but she ain't yet.

k*lled your boy?

Hmm, condolences.

Let me tell y'all a story.

You remember that boy

come through here

about two days ago?

You know who his daddy is?

Or was?

[suspenseful music playing]

What do you mean,

who he had in that urn?

[St. Christopher] Mm-hmm.

Isaac Broadway

was in that urn.

And he sent the boy here

to k*ll Sheriff Butler.

But that ain't all.

Isaac Broadway stole

a shitload of gold

when he was a soldier

down in Georgia.

Now, I know this,

because I helped him.

It's a crime I confess to,

have atoned for,

and have been forgiven.

But Isaac Broadway...

ain't never confessed.

He just hid that gold.

Now, where would

someone find this gold?

In his house. Same house

Sheriff Butler lived in.

And the same one

y'all done give

to the new sheriff.

Now, I bet anything I own

that Henry Broadway is there,

so is the Sheriff

and that Injun girl.

[chair clatters]

What are we waiting for?

Henry Broadway,

he k*lled my brothers.

He k*lled my brothers!

Son of the b*tch should be

hanging from a g*dd*mn tree!

-[people murmuring]

-Let me buy you a drink.

Dedicate it to your boy.

Hell, matter of fact...

[coins clattering]

-Drinks for everybody.

-[crowd cheering]

[Austin] Get me a drink.

-Go on.

-[indistinct chatter]

-[Sarah] So...

-[exhales shakily]

-[Sarah] ...then...

-[grunts]

[footsteps approaching]

Relax. Good.

You're fine.

You're safe.

You're safe.

[sighs]

[Running Cub groaning]

[Sarah] You'll be fine.

Good girl.

You're doing great.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Gabriel] Sarah...

men are coming here soon.

Trying to k*ll me.

What happened?

I k*lled Saul.

Now, we have not much time.

When you're ready,

I want you to grab

that bag over there

that I've packed for you.

I want you to take Mabel,

and I want you to leave

with Henry.

What? No.

I'm gonna die tonight, Sarah.

And I want you to live.

-No.

-Take care of Mabel.

-[somber music playing]

-[Gabriel] Hmm?

[chuckles] You wanted a child,

and I couldn't give you one.

But this is your chance.

This is your chance, darling.

I'm not gonna leave you.

I'm never gonna leave you.

-Sarah.

-No.

Never.

-[indistinct chatter]

-Come on.

Come on, get in

the g*dd*mn wagon.

[Gideon] Saddle up, boys.

We ride for my son,

and we ride for justice.

-Let's go!

-[dramatic music playing]

-[man whoops]

-[Austin] Let's go!

[men urging horses

and whooping]

[exhales deeply]

-What you got to eat?

-Beans.

-You ain't got no meat?

-No.

All right. Whiskey.

[sighs]

[horse neighing outside]

Broadway really buried gold

under that old house?

Yep. [sighs]

It figures. The way this town

sprang up while he was here.

He built this saloon.

That right?

[Sam] Livery stables.

The town jail.

Every town needs one.

The church.

"My house

is the house of God."

-That's what he would say.

-[soft music playing]

What you say

he said about that church?

"My house

is the house of God."

[St. Christopher] Hmm.

[thuds]

[sighs]

[laughing]

Son of a b*tch.

-[suspenseful music playing]

-[horses neigh]

[men urging horses]

[Running Cub panting]

They're here.

Come on. Okay.

Come on, come on, come on.

Down. Down.

Running Cub,

[Running Cub]

Come on. Let's go.

[Gabriel] Good girl.

Good girl.

That's it.

-Good girl.

-[panting]

[indistinct chatter]

Gideon, we gonna

call them outside?

No. There's no point.

k*ll them all.

Take some men,

surround the house.

You lot go to the front.

[man] Let's go.

[Austin] Go. Go. Go.

Come on.

[man] You break the door.

I'll go inside.

-[Gabriel] Sarah, the windows.

Hold him up.

[Nora] I can't.

Get the g*dd*mn rope!

-[Austin grunts]

-[dramatic music playing]

[horse neighing]

[Austin] You're gonna enjoy

dying, you piece of sh*t.

[grunts] That was for Asa.

[grunts]

-That was for Red.

-[Henry groans]

-And this one's for me.

[grunts]

-[Henry groans]

[Austin] We gonna take

all your daddy's gold.

All of it.

[Henry groaning]

[Austin] Keep him

alive for me, brother.

-All right?

-Yeah.

[g*nshots continue outside]

[Butch] Just you

and me now, boy.

[both grunting]

They always

[g*nshots continue outside]

[Henry grunts]

[Gabriel grunts]

[yells]

No! No!

[Austin groans]

[groans]

Gideon!

[breathing heavily]

Enough! This is over!

Leave it!

[panting]

End this madness!

[panting]

[panting] I wish

I could, Gabriel.

Don't be stupid.

-Don't.

-It's gone too far.

My boy.

There's no turning back.

-[g*nshots]

-[groans]

[panting]

[distant wolves howling]

[low foreboding music playing]

[foreboding music continues]

[Gabriel] Jesus.

[grunts] Hey, y'all.

I see the preacher

wasn't invited.

Oh!

He had to go to

a meeting with his maker.

Get your fat arse

out of that hole

and stop

desecrating this place.

We gonna get that drink

you said you were gonna

buy me?

Oh, sure I will. I'll bring

it to the jail cell for you.

[St. Christopher laughing]

[clears throat]

Whoo.

You know,

I damn near spilt my drink

when they told me

Isaac Broadway

built this church.

[laughing]

If that son of a b*tch

was a Christian,

they'd need to tear down

every church there is

and re-consecrate the ground

they's built on.

The sins of the father

visit the son.

You betrayed me.

You the second Broadway

to put me back in chains.

I thought

we had agreement...

that you'd still k*ll him.

We'd split the gold.

Well, you can k*ll me and...

hope he does right by you.

Henry...

go up there

and tie his hands now.

Don't even think about it,

or you won't even reach it.

If there's

any gold there...

you won't get

an ounce of it,

I promise you.

You saved my life.

I'm giving you a chance

to save yours.

You take your share

and you leave.

We'll take my father's share

and we'll put it back

in the town.

[chuckles] What?

I'm tired of people

dying for gold

that don't belong

to nobody.

Oh, my share belongs to me.

I earned it.

I will take it and leave

and I guarantee

you will never see

my Black a*s again.

Henry, move on

up there now, son.

Nice and easy.

Come on.

[groaning]

-You all right?

-[Henry] Yeah.

-[Gabriel] Yeah?

-[Henry] It got my leg.

[groans]

-Here you go.

-[groans]

-Boy.

-[groans]

[Henry groans]

[Gabriel] Easy does it, son.

Easy does it.

[pensive music playing]

[flames crackling]

[door opens]

All right?

Come on.

[Henry groans]

[grunts softly]

[melancholy music playing]

[bell ringing outside

continuously]

[horses neighing outside]

-[bell continues ringing]

-[horse neighing]

-[people clamoring]

-[Gabriel sighs]

-I'm sorry, Sheriff.

-[Gabriel exhales wearily]

They were wrong

about you, sir.

They were that, McCaughly.

You were that.

You are a good man.

-Cheers.

-Here's to Father Steve.

[grunts]

To tell the truth, Sheriff...

I have had

enough of priests.

[Gabriel exhales]

Wake up.

Breakfast time.

[clock ticking]

[chuckles]

[grunts softly]

[Henry] You know, coming here,

I thought avenging my father

was everything.

And I thought maybe

it was about the gold, but...

it wasn't.

[birds chirping]

-[Gabriel] The house...

-[indistinct chatter]

It's your birthright.

It was taken

from your father.

It shouldn't be

taken from you.

No, it's your home.

It's your family.

[indistinct chatter

and laughter]

[Gabriel] It is so.

I want you to stay.

[metal clatters]

[soft music playing]

Slainte.

[glasses clink]

-Thank you.

- Slainte Mhath . [laughs]

Good.

Very good.

[soft music continues]

[water splashing]

[sweeping music playing]

[soft music playing]

["What More" playing]

We are going back in time

Gone in a flash of light

Sing me to sleep

I love your little song

In the back of my mind

Some of us call it revenge

Laying a soul to rest

I have said it once

And I'll say it again

We can go on

But we cannot pretend

Don't come

Around here anymore

I see it in your eyes

You'd like a settled score

Forget about the lies

I told you before

What are you fighting for?

What more?

So now I will wait and see

What this will make of me

I've tallied my woes

And kept track of them all

I have got no secrets

Left to keep

And it's so unholy

The way you are withholding

The way you always told me

You'd be there

You'd be there

Now we're treading water

In the waves of my thought

And they keep

getting larger

So say a prayer

Don't come

Around here anymore

I see it in your eyes

You'd like a settled score

Forget about the lies

I told you before

What are you fighting for?

What more?
