03x16 - The Good Thieves

[bunniefuu]

[dog barking]

All right, you,
get over here.

Now, you answer that door,
and remember,

nobody has to get hurt.

Yes, sir.

Oh, evening,
Mr. Barkley.

Evening, Sam.

Kind of got you burning
the midnight oil, haven't I?

That shipment of gold
come in yet?

Yes, sir, Mr. Barkley,
we loaded it quite a while ago.

It's already
on board the train.

You wait right here.
I'll get the bill
of lading for you.

Fine. Say, by the way,
what happened to Monty?

-Monty?
-Yeah, he was supposed
to meet me in my office

as soon as he got back
from the mine.

Maybe he went out
for a cup of coffee.

At this hour?

Somethin' botherin'
you, Sam?

No, not a thing.
Everything's just fine.

Well, I'm going home.
If he comes back here,

tell him I want
to see him first thing--

-Mr. Barkley, wait, please!
-Hold it.

[body thuds]

[body thuds]

♪ [theme]

-Want a drink?
-No.

Neither do I.

[knocking]

I'll get it.
I'll get it.

Oh, Fred.
Come on in.

How is he, Nick?

Well, we don't
really know yet.
Doctor's up with him.

-Any luck, Sheriff?
-It's too dark to pick up
his trail tonight.

We're gonna try again
in the morning,

but we're gonna have to have
an awful lot of luck

to catch him without
some sort of identification.

Let's hope Jarrod
can tell us something.

Well, let's just hope
he pulls through.

I'm going up there.

Nick, the doc
said to wait.

He's been up there
more than an hour.

There's not a thing
you can do up there
except get in the way.

I guess you're right.

Nick, Heath?
He's gonna be all right.

Thanks to the good doctor.

Oh, don't thank me.

Thank the Good Lord
that b*llet wasn't
an inch or two over.

Can we see
him now?

I've given him something
to sleep, Nick.

Would be better
if he wasn't disturbed.

Rest is what
he needs most.

Victoria, I'll be
back tomorrow to change
those bandages.

Doc, how soon will he
be able to see somebody?

Oh, day, maybe two.

I don't think it'll be
any less than that, Sheriff.

Remember, Victoria,
no moving around

and plenty of sleep.

All right,
thank you, Doctor.

Good night.
Try not to worry.

Fred, did you see
Sam's wife?

Yeah, she took it
pretty hard.

I'll go see her
tomorrow.

Audra, I think we could
all use some coffee.

I'll put some on.

Victoria, did Jarrod say
anything at all

about the men
who shot him?

Oh, yes,
he recognized them.

-Oh?
-The Dunigan brothers.

Dunigan brothers?

Mark and Davey Dunigan.

Well, they shouldn't be
too hard to find.

They hang out
in Sunflower.

Fred, how long would it take
to get up a posse?

Sunflower's across
the state line, Nick.

So?

Isn't a thing I can do.

Not a thing you can do?

Fred, they k*lled two men
right in front of your nose.

They came close
to k*lling Jarrod.

My authority ends
at the state line.

You know that, Nick.

I just can't go chasing
into another state.

I'll give you as large
a posse as you need,

but they'll have to stay
within the state limits.

They're not gonna
stick around here.

I'm sorry, boys,
that's the best I can do.

Now, I've got no more love
for the Dunigans

than I have for Frank
and Jesse James,

but if they're
back in Sunflower,

they're out of my reach.

Well, looks like we'll
just have to bring them
back here ourselves.

But once they are back,
they can be tried
for m*rder, right?

They can. Can be convicted,
too, with Jarrod's testimony.

But if you try bringing them
back here against their will,

they have
every right in the world
to defend themselves.

You mean they have
the right to k*ll us.

Exactly.

What you're planning to do,
Heath, is ill*gal.

Legal, ill*gal...
why don't you tell

some of that stuff
to Sam's widow and kids, huh?

All right.

All right, Nick.
I gotta be getting back.

Uh, do one thing
for me.

Check with Marshal Moore
in Sunflower

before you try to do
anything yourself, all right?

All right,
if it'll help,

but I'll tell you
one thing--

we're gonna
get those Dunigans
back here in a cell.

You can count
on that.

Not a bad-looking town.

Get a load of that.

Grateful citizens.

You figure they don't know
where the Dunigans

get the money
for those contributions.

Well, now, they can't
be that stupid.

They must know
they're outlaws.

I guess they figure
a contribution's

a contribution no matter
where it comes from.

Well, let's get
the horses put up.

Howdy, gentlemen.

Howdy.

Can I help you?

Yep.

Like you to clean
and put up the horses.

Glad to.

Just sign
right here, please.

That cover it?

Yes, sir.

For tomorrow night, also,
if you're staying.

We might be.

-Barkley.
-That's right.

You the same Barkleys
that own that big spread
near Stockton?

The same.

I've heard about you.

Well, I'm Heath.

This is
my brother Nick.

We're, uh, looking for
the Dunigan brothers.
Do you know them?

Sure. Everyone
in Sunflower knows them.

Well, could you tell us
where we might find them?

No.

Well, could you
tell us where
the marshal's office is?

Corner building,
just beyond the square.

All right, take good care
of her, man.

Sorry, gentlemen.
Straight flush.

[gasps]
Oh, David!

You won again!

Well, how could I lose
with you standing next to me?

Mark, keep your eye
on this.

And, you, my little
good luck charm,

you follow me.

I got something for you.

That is, of course,
if you gentlemen will excuse me.

Willy! Let's have
that box.

That's it.

There we are.

-Now, then.
-Oh!

Look at that.

Davy,
it's beautiful!

Oh,
it's just beautiful!

There's no beating
that brother of mine.

He's an expert at cards
and women.

Little more, John?

Why not?

Mm!

Davy, you can see
right through it!

[laughing]

You can?

Willy, drinks
for everybody.

Well, I'm glad
you like it.

I love it.

Mr. Dunigan.

Not now, Jerry,
I'm busy.

It's important.
I gotta talk to you.

Later, son. Later.

Mr. Dunigan?

Three kings.

That's not good enough, John.
I got three aces.

Well, that does
it to me.

John, here.

Oh, no, Mark, you don't
have to do that.

I know I don't have to do that.
I want to do that.

Just call it a little loan.
You pay me back when you can.

Thank you very much, Mark.

Thanks very much.

Now, Jerry,
what is it?

Two men rode into town
name of Barkley.

They wanted to know
where you--

Davey!

Yeah?

Barkleys are in town.

They asked me
about you.

Wanted to know
where you were.

Told 'em
I didn't know.

How many of them
are there, Jerry?

Two. They asked the way
to the marshal's office.

They did, huh?

There you are, Jerry,
thanks a lot.

Thanks, Mr. Dunigan.

Mark...

now, what kind of business
would the Barkleys

be doing
with our marshal?

I told you I want you
to listen, not talk.

This town, my town,

is almost entirely free
from crime,

and the rest
of the county
is almost as good.

Do you know why that is?

Yes, we know
why that is--

Because the Dunigans
do their robbin' and
killin' someplace else.

You saw the schoolhouse
on your way into town.

The Dunigans paid
for almost all of it.

Three years ago,
we had a drought,

a bad one.

Practically every head of stock
would've been wiped out

if the Dunigans hadn't bought


had it shipped all the way down
from the Sacramento valley.

Want me to go on?

No, no, not necessary.

What I'm trying
to tell you is this:

the Dunigan brothers
are Sunflower's most popular

and important citizens.

It's mighty unlikely
that anyone would take kindly

to a couple of strangers
who accuse them

of robbery or m*rder.

Well, now, we're not
talking to just anyone.

We're talking to
the marshal of Sunflower.

The marshal of Sunflower
tells you this:

the crimes you mentioned

took place
in San Joaquin County,

which is out
of my jurisdiction.

Then you don't intend
to give us any help at all, huh?

Couldn't if I wanted to.

Which you don't.

Gentlemen, I'm not trying
to intimidate you.

Just like to give you
some advice.

It's friendly advice,

even though you may not believe
that at this moment.

Forget it!

I just don't see how we
can do that, Marshal.

-Thanks for your time.
-Thank you.

-Mr. Barkley!
-Yeah.

If you're still looking
for the Dunigans,
they're over in the saloon.

They told me to tell you
they'd like to buy you a drink.

Yeah?

Mr. Dunigan?

Welcome to Sunflower,
gentlemen.

My name is Davey Dunigan.
This is my brother Mark.

Willy, set up a bottle
for our guests.

Have a drink,
gentlemen, on me.

Be with you just as soon
as I finish this hand.

How's it feel living
in a goldfish bowl?

Just how long
are we gonna put up
with this foolishness?

As long as this
free whiskey holds out.

Happy days.

Well, thank you,
honey.

Well, Mark...

I think I call you.

I've got a straight.

Well, I'm afraid
that finishes me.

Well, gentlemen,

y'all got business here
in Sunflower,

or are you just
passing through?

Matter of fact,
we're here on business,

and we might as well
get to it.

Seems that last
Friday night two men

decided to rob
the Stockton depot

of 10,000 gold.

k*lled two men
doing it--

the station agent
and one of our hands.

Also tried to k*ll
our brother; didn't.

Our brother recognized
them as the Dunigans.

Why, I've never been
so absolutely flabbergasted
in my whole life!

-Oh?
-Mr. Barkley, I'm sorry
to hear about your trouble,

but let me tell
you something.

Me and my brother Mark,
why, we never set foot

in Stockton
in our whole lives.

-Ain't that right, Mark?
-That's right.

Why, you two men made
this whole long trip
for nothing.

Why don't you have
another drink on the house
before you start back?

Well, now, we weren't figuring
on starting back just yet.

-Oh, no?
-All we want you to do
is prove where you were.

We don't have
to prove anything.

In this country,
you're innocent

until you're proved guilty.

Exactly, so you two
shouldn't mind going back

and facing the man
that says he saw you.

[laughs] You know,
the trouble with you Barkleys

is you're just like
all the rest.

You're always willing
to believe the worst

about folks who've got a--
What is it they say?

A different political
persuasion from yours.

Now, let me tell you
something about the Dunigans
that maybe you don't know.

There used to be quite
a few more of us.

We all fought on the side
of the Confederacy.

We were all Raiders,
every one of us,

and now there's just
me and Mark left.

Yeah, we were mighty poor
by the time the w*r
was finished.

Of course, all of us
on the wrong side were poor,

but for some reason or other,

most Yankees seemed
to end up pretty well off.

We're getting a little
off the subject.

Nobody's talking
about the w*r.

Well, I'm talking
about the w*r!

Here in Sunflower,
we ain't forgotten it,

and the rich folks
in San Francisco and Sacramento,

Washington and Stockton,

they ain't forgotten it,
either.

[chuckles]
Me and my brother Mark,

why, we ain't the kind
to go around k*lling people,

except line of duty
when we have to.

But I'll tell you this.

We ain't ridin' to Stockton
or any other unfriendly place

to have a lot
of unfriendly people
accuse us of m*rder.

We're innocent,
but we ain't stupid,
I'll tell you that!

Now, you still got business
in this town, gentlemen?

We might have.

All right.

You have till tonight
to do it.

Well, we...

We figured it'd take
a little longer than that,

and what do you think
you're gonna do about it?

All you have to do to find out
is stay here.

Yeah, just try it.

Well.

The odds can't get
much better than they
are now, can they?

So, you...

Threatening.

You better make
that threat good,

right here
and right now

in front of
these witnesses.

Now, let me tell
you people something.

I'm the only doctor in town,

and I'm out of practice
extracting b*ll*ts.

Now, what's the matter
with you two?

Do you have any idea
how many innocent people
can get shot up,

including you?

And you.

Kindly use the brains
the Good Lord gave you
and go home.

How can you possibly believe
that you'd be allowed to harm

this town's two
most important citizens?

Look around you.

Do you see
any friendly faces?

Whoa. Whoa.
I think the doctor's right.

I mean, I reckon
we have been a mite less

than hospitable,
wouldn't you say?

But I tell you what.

Now, you Barkleys, you just
make yourselves to home.

Stay just as long
as you want.

My brother here,
he's just a little put out.

After all, you come in here
accusing him of a crime?

He's sensitive.
I apologize for him.

But I want to say right here
and now that you two gentlemen

got plenty of good,
old-fashioned guts.

Have another drink.

Oh, if you're still around
tonight, why, come on over here.

We gonna have a party,
sort of a double celebration.

Today's my birthday,

and me and my brother Mark
are also celebratin'

a successful business deal
we just made.

We're gonna have
lots of fun.

Gonna be lots to eat,
lots to drink,

plenty of pretty girls.

Y'all come, hear?

[chuckles]

Come on, everybody.
Drink up, boys.

Here we go.

There's a hotel.
Let's go.

Oh, I wish that punk Dunigan
had pushed me that much further.

Now, simmer down, Nick.
That's exactly what they
wanted you to do.

Must be some way to get
them Dunigans back to Stockton.

It's gonna be tough.
They got the whole town
behind them-- you saw that.

Yeah, but why?
They gotta know they're outlaws.

They know.
They've been bought.
It's that simple.

A k*ller isn't
a k*ller anymore

as long as he can build
a nice new school.

I don't know about you,
but I'm a little tired.

Think I'll take
a little nap.

Come on, get up, boy.

You think you know
the Dunigans!

Well, you don't!

There ain't a family
for miles around

that don't owe
them a lot.

You practicin'
to be a m*rder*r like they are?

They aren't
murderers!

Dunigans send you?

No, I came alone.

Besides, I wasn't
gonna k*ll you.

Just wanted
to scare you out.

So we wouldn't hurt
your friends.

They're everybody's friends!

You'd back-sh**t them
just as soon as look at them.

You rich ranchers
are all like that.

You listen to me, boy.

I'm gonna tell
you something.

We're exactly the same
as anybody else,

especially when outlaws
try to k*ll our friends.

You're a liar!

They never
shot anyone.

They're
good people.

They take from those
that got too much

and give to folks
that got too little.

He believes every word
of that, Nick.

No sense taking him
to the marshal.

Well, we'd better
get him to the doctor.

He's got quite a lump there.
Come on, boy.

I don't need
no doctor.

[door closes]

you don't need a doctor,
at least not the kind I am.

I've never yet been able

to cure anybody
of outright stupidity.

You don't even need
a bandage.

Now, just keep your head
out of the dirt

and your nose out
of other people's business.

I notice you two
are still here.

Is something
bothering you?

Few things.

For example, number one,
what made you think that boy

was doing something
he shouldn't have been doing?

I've been around here
a while.

He didn't try to use
that old g*n on you, did he?

He had it. He didn't get
a chance to use it.

Well, it was decent of you
not to hurt him any more
than you did.

That boy's suffering
the worst case of hero worship
I've ever seen.

He thinks the Dunigans
are the greatest thing

since... Robin Hood.

You realize
he's not alone?

You too, Doc?

[sighs]
I know what they've done

for the people
of this county.

You didn't answer
my question, Doc.

Are you a Dunigan
worshipper, too?

No.

But I owe 'em quite a bit,

as does everyone else
around here.

In that room,
you'll find

the finest
medical equipment anywhere.

The money for it
didn't come from my patients.

No, it came
from people like us.

I've helped a lot
of folks with it,

saved quite a few lives,
I'd say.

As for the Dunigans,

oh, I know what they are.

They're outlaws.

They may be guilty
of many things,

including those
that you accuse them of.

But you just don't care.
You don't care.

Just so long as you get
everything you need

as a doctor,
you don't care.

I care.

I try not to think about it
too much, that's all.

This is a town
of decent people,

whether you believe it
or not.

At least, I believe them
to be decent.

Well, I don't
believe it, Doc.

Any town that would
protect two K*llers

can't be anything but
rotten clear through.

You're wrong about that.

I've known most of them
many years,

brought a great many
into this world.

I have considerable affection
for them.

So let me tell you
once again:

forget your mission
of vengeance and leave.

You've lost two men,
you say, and I'm sorry,

but many more men
will be lost

if you start something
here which...

you know you will never
be able to finish.

What you're
saying is...

either we leave,
or one of them

nice, decent
citizens of yours

just might k*ll us.

That's exactly
what I mean.

They're the same
as people have always been.

If you try to destroy
their gods...

they'll annihilate you.

There's not a thing
in this world
that can stop them.

Any ideas?

There's the saloon.

Could buy you
a drink.

Well, that's not
a very good idea.

You got
a better one?

Well, we could go
over to the bank

and visit
our stolen gold.

Ten to one,
it's in that vault.

I'm beginning to think
the only way

to handle this whole thing
is to walk in that saloon there,

g*n in hand,
and take 'em kidnap.

Yeah, that makes
real good sense.

It's the only way
I can figure to get
them out of town.

Now, Nick, there's
gotta be another way.

What would you say would
be the best reason to
get them out of town?

Something to steal-- a
stagecoach full of gold,
a train...

-Cash!
-In our pockets?

Yeah. Lots of it.

Come on.

Mother? Mother?

Yes?

Did you get
the quinine?

Yeah. The doctor said
to give it to him
every four hours.

Here's a telegram
from the boys.

How's Jarrod?

Oh, much better,
much better.

Oh, they say that...

"Need 5,000 cash
immediately

"to purchase
prize breeding stock.

Please telegraph money
Sunflower bank..."

-Breeding stock?
-Huh.

I heard Nick tell Jarrod

we didn't need
any breeding stock now.

Even if we do,
they wouldn't have
to pay cash for it.

The telegram says

"Need 5,000 immediately

to purchase
prize breeding..."

Maybe it's
for something else.

Do they say anything
about the Dunigan brothers?

No. No, it--

That just may be

for something else.

Well, there they are,

our good friends
from Stockton!

You're a mite early
for the party, boys.

They're still
decorating inside.

Well, we didn't exactly
come for that.

We're on our way
out of town.

Oh, really?

Well, I hope those
few hot words we had before

aren't the cause
for your departure.

No, no, no, forget that.

We got a big spread,
gotta get to running it.

Right now we're mighty short
on breeding stock.

Hear there's some fine horses
in a town called Spinner.

That's not far
from here, is it?

It's about 50 miles.

Take the north fork
just outside of town.

Yeah, they got some
mighty fine horses
up in Spinner.

Bit on the expensive
side, though.

Aw, we can handle it.

Oh, good, I just
thought I'd warn you.

That's mighty kind
of you.

Look, you stood us
to drinks before.

We'd like
to return the favor.

Oh, no! You don't
buy drinks,

not as long as
you're in this town.

Drinks are on me.
Come on in!

Folks have been
working for hours.

I asked them not to,
but they wanted to do it
for old Davey.

Hi, Davey!
How does it look?

Why, it looks beautiful!
Just lovely.

Sit down, gentlemen.

Olga, honey,
would you get us

a bottle and some
glasses, please?

Mark, come on down
from there.

Come on over here.

Guess what?

Our good friends from
Stockton ain't gonna

be able to stay
for the party tonight.

They're gonna ride on up
to spinner

to get some
good breeding stock.

That's a shame.
Can you stay over till tomorrow?

I've got Olga
working on getting

a couple of nice girls
for ya.

-Don't I, honey?
-Uh, sure!

Thanks just the same.

Thought we'd travel
a little while tonight,

get an early start
in the morning.

-Miss the heat of the day.
-Why, that makes sense.

Well, one for the road,
as they say.

Cheers.

You know, my brother and I,
I guess we kind of made
a little mistake in judgment.

Oh, no harm done.

No, what my brother
means is, uh,

we weren't aware
of the fact you had

so many good friends
in this town,

nice, decent,
respectable people.

Well, with
so many friends,

we can't be all bad,
now, can we?

Well, I'm glad you came
to that conclusion.

Oh, we might do
a thing now and again

that society frowns on,

but, uh, killin'?
Not the Dunigans.

Except maybe
in self-defense,
you understand.

Yeah.

Well, I guess we'd
better be going, Nick.

Thanks for
the drink, gentlemen.

Pleasure.

Uh, before we go,
I'd like to give you boys

a little word
of advice.

Stay away
from Stockton, huh?

Well, all right,
if you say so.

Let's go, Nick.

I hear it's
a nice place, though!

[laughs]

Must be close
to midnight,

and not a sign
of them.

So, $5,000 wasn't
enough bait.

Either that, or the Dunigans
are smarter than we figured.

Well, come on.

[twig snaps]

You'd better answer
the back door.

Anytime you're ready.

Now!

Well...

Guess we'll forget
about it.

They're not coming.

Still got time to get back
before that party breaks up.

What are you
talking about?

You know that lousy idea
you had this afternoon
about kidnapping?

Doesn't sound too much
like a lousy idea now,
does it?

Reckon that's
all we got left.

Let's have at it!

Can't be too many
left inside.

Happy birthday, Davey!

Thank you,
thank you!

Where is everybody?

Ooh, I am hungry!
I sure am hungry.

Olga, isn't anybody hungry
besides me?

Aw, the fire's out
in the kitchen
stove, Davey.

Well, now, you just
light that fire

right up again,
Olga, honey!

How about some
nice, juicy steak
and onions?

Oh, that'd be
just great.

And then maybe we can eat
up in your room privately, huh?

Mm, if you want to.

That's a nice girl.

I'm going home.

If I'd known this party
was gonna break up so early,

I'd have gone out
and got some money,

some friends.

$5,000 worth.

[laughs] Yeah?

And you would've walked
into a nice, fat trap, too.

You just see
if you could make it

to your horse
without falling
all over yourself!

Good night, kid.

I'll go with you,
Mr. Dunigan.

Don't need nobody
going with me.

JERRY: Mr. Dunigan!

Mr. Dunigan, are you
sure you're all right?

I mean, I can at least help
you saddle up your horse.

I told you I don't need
anybody going along with me.

All right,
Mr. Dunigan.

I just don't want you
to fall off and get hurt, maybe.

Right here.

What's the matter
there, boy?

It's your brother,
Mr. Dunigan.

Can't hardly stand up.

Oh, you'd be surprised
how much old Mark can hold.

He be
all right, son.

I told you,
he be all right!

Just the same, I'm gonna
see he gets home okay.

Well, suit yourself.

Well, that's half
the battle. Come on.

The other half
I'm really gonna enjoy.

♪ [discordant]

Davey?

Oh, wonderful, honey!

Lead the way!

Here we go.

[giggling]

Mr. Dunigan!

They're back.

Easy now, boy.
Who's back?

The Barkleys.

I just seen them
sneaking around the livery.

They must've jumped
your brother inside.

You sure
it was them?

I saw 'em,
Mr. Dunigan, honest.

They're watching out front
waiting for you.

Yeah. Well, we go
all the way around.

We get to the barn
from the alley.

Come on, Dunigan,
come out of there.

I'm running out
of patience.

And time.

It'll be
sun-up soon.

Would you settle
for one Dunigan?

Oh, no. No. No.

We're gonna bring
'em both back.

-I'm going in there
and drag him out right--
-Nick!

You think he's
still in there?

Maybe.

Maybe he left before
we ever got here.

There's only one way
to find out.

His brother.

Be right back.

Hurry back. I feel
my hay fever coming on.

Yeah.

You all right, Mark?

Yeah.

Jerry, shut
that door.

Now listen,
Mark.

They've gotta come
back here after you,

and as soon
as they step inside,

we'll cut 'em
in half.

Well?

Something's going on
in the barn.

The door was
just being closed
as I got there.

Dunigan must've
gotten loose.

He couldn't have.
Somebody must be
in there with him.

Well, we just best
draw them out. Come on.

Nick, you start yellin',
you'll draw this whole town out.

That's a chance
we'll have to take.

Why don't you
get over there
and cover me.

Dunigan! Open the door,
throw your g*n out,

and come out
with your hands raised high!

You got 30 seconds left,

or we'll set fire to the place
and smoke you out.

Nick, come here.

Time's almost up!

-Hey--
-Just be quiet, boy.

Now, listen, Mark.

I'll go out there first
and draw their fire.

When you see them,
you try to get them

with your first couple
of shots.

If you don't, just hit
the ground and stay there.

By that time there'll be
enough people out there

to chew 'em to pieces,
for killin' the kid,
you understand?

All right now, go on,
get over there,
and kick that door open.

Now!

Get down!

Let the boy go,
Dunigan!

Let him go!

Let go!

All right, all right,
if you wanna go, go.

All right! I give up!

Here's my g*n!

Don't sh**t no more.

All right, get up,
both of you.
Come on, up!

[groans]

Hold it!

What's happened here?

Why, the Barkleys gunned
the boy down, marshal.

-I think they k*lled him.
-That's a lie!

-Give me your g*n.
-Oh, now, marshal--

I said give me
your g*n!

Yours, too.

Somebody get
Doc Landrum.

Somebody get
me a stretcher!

Marshal, they came
back to get us,

and that poor Jerry
got in the way

and they shot him
in the back!

You're a liar.

Marshal, if you'll
check those g*ns,

you'll find one shot fired.
It's in his shoulder.

-[groans]
-Jerry, now, take it easy.
Take it easy, lie back.

Mr. Dunigan?

Yeah, son?

Why'd you do it,
Mr. Dunigan?

I've always been
your friend.

I helped you,

but you sh**t me
in the back.

Why?

Well, the boy's hurt.
He don't know what
he's saying.

Well, I saws him do it
with my own two eyes!

No. Mr. Dunigan did it.

He wanted you all to think
it was the Barkleys,

but he's the one
who shot me...

in the back.

Mr. Dunigan, my friend.

One shot,
that's all.

Now, Marshal,
you know them two

came here to get us,
and that's all!

They didn't care
how they did it.

They even shot a kid!

Now, you know we
wouldn't do that.

We looked after
jerry for years!

[sighs] This g*n's empty.

Well, I had
to defend myself!

Yeah.

Boy gonna
make it, Doc?

I don't know yet.

If the boy dies,
you'll stand trial for m*rder

right here
in Sunflower.

If Jerry lives,
I'll turn the Dunigans

over to you and I'll ride
with you to Stockton.

-All right.
-All right,
you two, let's go.

Oh, no, no!
Wait a minute, wait a minute!

What's the matter
with you people?

What's the matter
with you?

You're all
gonna stand here

and let this happen
to the Dunagins?

You owe us!
You all owe us!

Ain't a man standing here
that don't owe us.

Sam. Sam, wait.
Listen, come here.

Come here!
Come here, stay here!

Listen to me! Listen!

Who gave you the money
for your wife's operations,
two of them, huh?

And you!

You wouldn't have made it
through last winter,

you and your wife
and your five kids,

if it hadn't been
for the money

that me and my brother Mark
gave to you!

And how about the church
and the schoolhouse?

Remember when we
had that drought?

Where are you people going?

You come back here!
I'm talking to you!

-Dunigan!
-You come back here!
I'm talking to you!

You hear me?
I'm talking to you!
Come back here!

Mother? Mother!

Mother?

Nick. Nick,
would you mind

holding that down
to a shout?

Well, I just wanted to know
whether you got

to the post office
today or not.

No, I didn't,
but Jarrod did.

Oh. Jarrod!

Oh, someday you're going
to shatter all the windows,

to say nothing
of my eardrums.

I just wanted to know
whether I got a letter

from Marshal Moore,
Sunflower--

Oh. Thanks.

Oh, Heath!

It's from Marshal Moore.

Seems Jerry Frye's
gonna be all right.

Well, he wasn't
such a bad kid.

Just had a bad case
of hero worship
on the wrong hero.

Oh, by the way,
did you say Jarrod went
to the post office?

Well, is that
so unusual?

What are you doing
out of bed?
You're walking.

I might even manage
a small waltz
for the right partner.

Sorry, my dance program's
all filled up.

Well, now, he looks
almost as good as new,

-doesn't he?
-He sure does.

Well, that being the case,
I have a few legal chores
for you, Jarrod.

Number one, I just purchased
from Sam Woodfield.

I'm gonna stock
it with Herefords,

an I want you to sue
holt county.

Holt county?

They gave us 50 acres
of land, free,

on the condition that we
would put our winery there.

Well, the land turned out
not as free as we thought.

It seems that the taxes
are twice as high

as the original price
of the land,

-and where are you going?
-Back to bed.

-But I--
-Doctor said to take it easy
for a little while.

I think I'll just heed
his advice.

I just--
[sighs]

[chuckles]
