Billy the Kid (2013) - full transcript

[ Instrumental music playing ]

[ Birds chirping ]

- [ Laughing ]
- Go ahead.

[ Chattering ]

Man: If I had gotten a real game, I wouldn't win anyway.

- Woman: ...Which is $8.
- Mm-hmm.

And then, you know,
the rates are reflected...

[ Chattering continues ]

Bartender.

You grab
for that holster

and I'll put a bullet
through your skull.



What business
you got with me?

- Are you Preston reddon?
- That's me.

I hear you're the best
gunslinger around.

Are you challenging me?

No.

But I'm gonna
kill you.

Listen up.

I'm Robert ally,

the first
of the four horsemen
of the apocalypse.

Dogma's now my town.

Anybody got
a problem with me

or what I just did,

then draw
your pistols now.

- I didn't think so.
- [ Gun clicks ]



Ah. How about
a little game of stud?

Oh, that's something
I can live with.

How about let's start
it off with a cigar?

Yeah, that sounds great.

Thank you, sir.

I didn't say
you could sit there.

And I didn't ask.

You got a problem
with me, boy?

"Boy"?!

You better choose
a better word, son.

Or what?

Or else you're gonna
end up like that poor soul
over there on the floor.

That's some
of my handiwork.

So you're Robert ally?

Are you a marshal?

I hate marshals.

And I hate scum like you.

All right, that's enough.
Either you get up
and get out of here

or we're going to war.

So how about you
present me with this war,

and I'll show you
a lesson in death.

Okay, poncho.

[ Rock music playing ]

Who-- who are you?

Leon copper.

Mister, we don't want
no trouble.

I ain't here
to cause you no trouble.

But you do know there's
three more of those outlaws

coming into this town,
don't you?

What you mean by that?

Well, I'm a bounty hunter.

The name's Leon copper.

And that son of a bitch
over there on the floor

is one of four outlaws
that come in

and take over little small towns
just like this one.

They hit gordo,

a town just north of here,
about three weeks ago.

So you're telling me there
are three more on the way?

- [ Glass thumps ]
- That's exactly what
I'm telling you.

Usually the first one
comes in,

kills out all
the gunslingers in town.

The second one comes in,
takes over the marshal's office.

And the third one'll
come in and take over
the supply store.

I guess that one right there
come in and took over this bar.

So when are these other
three coming?

Sometimes they come
back to back,

but you never know.

But I've been paid
$500 a head

and I just got my first one
out of that bastard
right over there.

Mister,
I appreciate that.

I'm not looking for appreciation.

- [ Gun clicks ]
- I don't give a shit about
this shithole town.

[ Rock music playing ]

[ Snoring ]

Parker's always sleeping.
You're always reading.

- How come?
- It keeps me informed.

Landon, I'm worried
about Robert.

Probably ain't
sent the message yet.

If it don't come by tomorrow,
I'll send Parker.

Maybe if the signal
doesn't come, the two of us go.

Then we risk having
all of us taken out.

- We stick to the plan.
- Remember the job
we did in gordo?

- Yeah.
- I got shot.

Well, that wasn't planned
as well as dogma.

We are not invincible.

I'm solid as a brick wall!

Well, Landon, I'm not.

Don't worry about it.
Get some sleep.

Watch your step now.
Don't step on sleeping beauty.

Y'all need some help getting
that roof framed up,
let me know.

- Hey, Dr. Wiley.
- Hi, frank.

- What you building?
- Uh, my new office.

- Kinda big, isn't it?
- Yeah,

the doctor's office
is gonna be there

and the undertaker's office
is gonna be over there.

Take 'em dead
or alive, huh?

I'd rather have them living,
frank, that way they
keep coming back.

That's good business.
Good to see you, doc.

Later, frank.

- Ma, ma!
- Slow down, slow down,
what is it?

The town...
[ Pants ]

What are you trying
to say?

The town...
[ Coughs ]

There was
a gunfight yesterday.

Two men got killed.

I sent you to town for flour
and you come back with this?

I'll get the flour. They're on their way.

Sit down,
tell me the news.

[ Sighs ]
I met Mr. Spellings.

He told me about
this bounty hunter,

he killed this bandit.
The bandit killed

Preston reddon first.

Preston reddon?
He was a decent man!

Who'd want to kill him?

I don't know, mama.
M-maybe, uh...

It was over gambling
or something like that.

You see, you see!
Look what that teaches you.

You stay out of that,
you hear me?

I know, I know, mama.

[ Sighs ]

- Who's this, mama?
- This is Jane carmall

and her uncle.
He's leaving her here
with us for a few days.

- Nice to meet you, Jane.
- Nice to meet you too.

I don't think I heard
a name though.

I forgot that part.
W-- William.

- I'm William.
- Pleased to meet you.

Go wash up.
Supper's almost ready.

Looks like you're living
in the past.

Hell, that war's been
over with for 10 years.

Sometime all you got
to live for is the past.

I guess so, but all I got
to live for is the future.

- Are you the owner?
- Yes, I am.

Frank.
Frank spellings.

My wife Patricia.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.
What's your name?

The name's Leon.

I'm looking
to buy some arsenal.

What do you got?

Well, I've got colts,

shotguns.
I've got a .45 handgun.

I got something that I think
you'll be interested in.

I got something here
that'll kill them dead
in their tracks.

Killed a lot of Yankees
with that gun right there.

[ Clicks ]

- You got some ammo
for this gun?
- Sure do.

I'll take it.

So how was the war?

Well, according to them
damn Yankees, we lost.

[ Chuckles ]
Yeah, what I recall.

What else
can I get you?

That'll be all.

You're a long way
from home, ain't you?

Yeah.
Peace and quiet
makes up for it.

That's all about to change.

You're not fixing to cause
any trouble, are you?

Look, I don't want to be here
no more than you want me
to be here.

Why don't you just
get your stuff

and be on your way?

What do I owe?

You don't owe me nothing.
I hear you're hunting outlaws.

Just shoot one of those
outlaws for me.

Sounds like a deal.

By the way, you know
a place I can rest up?

Katherine's,
out by the horse farm.

Just a couple miles
outside of town.

Decent price,
good food too.

Thank you.
I'll head that way.

[ Footsteps ]

- This your place?
- It is.

Well, I won't be
staying long.

Are you that
bounty hunter?

Yes ma'am.

I was only asking.

Do I know you?

I don't play that game.

Know how many times
I've gotten that?

Oh, I don't mean
to offend you.

I won't be here long.
I'll be out of your hair.

Would your name be Leon?

Leon copper,
to be precise?

Katherine?

Oh my goodness.

I thought you died.

No, ever since
I left that day,

I've been
traveling the west.

Well, enjoy your stay.

I think he's
in trouble, Landon.

He's supposed to pay someone
to deliver a message.

What's the plan?

Go investigate.

I want jarson
to come on in.

- I'm ready for this
to be our last job.
- Listen to me!

Before you know it
we'll be rich and free.

- I hope so.
- You need to get
your head on straight,

and do your damn job.

Parker:
You're not the one
risking your life here.

- I could be dead by nightfall.
- If you don't get on
that damn horse,

I'll kill you myself.

Good luck, partner.

Luck is
for heroes, jarson.

I'm not a hero.

Okay.
Just be on your way.

Mr. Spellings,
what is that?

It's a camera, William.

You mean for...

Pictures?

All I need is this
little piece of tin.

Ain't that a hoot?

Put your hair up
under your hat, William.

I'm gonna take
a picture of you, boy.

Oh, just do it.
Come on.

Be perfectly still
now, William.

Perfectly still.

How long do I have to stay
perfectly still?

William, see those
bottles over there?

I want you to pull fast
and shoot me one of them.

[ Bird cawing ]

Come on, William.
Give it another try.

[ Gunshot ]

William, don't aim.

Shoot from the hip.

I can't do that.

I'm gonna miss.

Listen to me, boy,

keep your eye
on the bottles.

That's good.
Again.

[ Cawing ]

Nice, isn't it?

Nothing else like it.

What are you doing
around these parts?

I'm going to see my dad
in gordo.

You always
travel alone?

I was raised around
three brothers

and a cattle rancher for a dad.
I can take care of myself.

I admire that.

What you do around here?

Chores, help my mother.

But I gotta make
something of myself.

How do you expect
to do that?

I haven't quite
figured that out.

[ Birds chirping ]

Hmm, who could this be?

Whoa!
Hold up there, mister.

What's the trouble, marshal?

No outsiders allowed
in these parts.

I need water.

And supplies too.

Like I said,
town's been shut down.

Nobody in, nobody out.

That's too bad, marshal.

You'd best be on your way.

[ Blows ]

God ain't gonna help
your soul, marshal.

Hey, mister,
is this your store?

- Yeah, it is.
- I need some bullets.

Be fast with it.

Can't you see
I'm busy?

I said now,

- not later.
- What kind of bullets
you need?

I need .45 colts
for this revolver.

I see.

Yeah, you do see.

Now give me those bullets and I'll be on my way.

Are you robbing me?

Let's say
I'm doing you a favor.

It's better
than being dead.

Katherine?

Look,

I'm sorry about
what happened yesterday.

I see you kept
the necklace.

Yeah, it's all I had
to remember you by.

- I had a lot
to remember you by.
- [ Footsteps approaching ]

William, I'd like you
to meet Leon.

- Leon copper.
- Hey, Mr. Copper.

Hey, William,
nice to meet you.

My friends
call me Billy.

Ma, is it all right
if I go into town?

You might not want to go
into town right now.

There's some badpeople
coming into this area.

He's right. Go on out
and chop some wood.

Ma, I ain't
still a kid.

You're always treating me
like I'm a kid.

- Go and do what I said.
- Yes ma'am.

Are you suggesting
to me he's my kid?

I'm not
suggesting anything.

You can accept it
or not.

Why didn't you
try to find me?

I did. Every time
I got close, you were
off to another location.

I never could pinpoint
where you were going.

I'm sorry, Katherine.
If only I'd've known.

Well, you do now.

[ Guitar playing ]

Hey, mister.
Mr. Spellings here says
you robbed his store.

You're under arrest.

Frank:
The marshal's
talking to you.

He's a liar.

Come along with me.

Marshal:
Don't do it.

[ Gunshot ]

You killed him.

I've got a bone
to pick with you.
I've got a dead deputy.

How'd that happen?

We were just in a shootout,
had to kill a man.

Marshal, you just took
money out of my pocket.

This isn't about
money anymore, Mr. Copper!

This town is under attack
and we're running
out of time!

- He's right.
- So you want me
to team up with you two.

Yes, let's hunt
these bastards--
pardon me, ma'am--

down together.

One has-been
and one marshal?

I'll take these two
by myself.

Damn it, Landon,
I'm tired of waiting.

Well, if you're
tired of waiting,
get on that horse

- and go to town.
- You sure about that?

If you're so anxious,

go ahead.
I'm tired of your whining.

No more playing games.

So what are you
gonna do?

I'm gonna get
the last two by myself.

Why are you going to them
if they're coming here anyway?

Let me ask you
something, Katherine.

How would you feel
if I was around more?

It wouldn't hurt you
to spend some time
with William.

Well, I'll make you
a promise.

After I take care of this,

I'm gonna come back here

and I'm gonna tell William
that I'm his father.

So you're
coming back then, right?

I won't put you
through this again.

William's my heart.

I want what we never
got to experience--

a family.

Look, I can't keep living

like I've been living.

I understand.

Just be careful.

I always am.

That Leon fella,
he isn't too friendly,
is he?

I think he's more
interested in the money
than anything else.

Those outlaws take over,

this town won't stand a chance.

We need more men, marshal.

I think we can
handle them, frank.

I'll fight beside you,

but we need more men.

All right,
make an announcement.

I think we can get
a few if they know
the town is at risk.

I hope so.

Listen to me, men.

This town's being attacked
by a gang of outlaws.

We need every man that can
shoot to pick up a gun.

You heard the man!
We need to stand up
to these outlaws.

No offense, marshal.
I'm not joining

in the fighting
unless the fighting
comes to me.

If they come in here,

I'll take care of them.

Like you took care
of Robert ally?

That's what I thought.

Is anyone with me?

I'll remember this.

I'm with you,
marshal.

I'm not
a gunslinger,
but I can help.

Who'd you get?

The rest of them
just don't give a damn.

I can be
of some help, frank.

Give him a gun.

You ever shot a man?

I've served shots.

Well, when you shoot,
don't hesitate.

I won't.
How many outlaws
are still alive?

There should be two left if I'm correct.

You mean there's
only two of them?

I heard there was four,
but you never can tell.

So this is all of us?

- Pretty much.
- There's that
bounty hunter too.

I remember him.
Real badass
he thinks he is.

Well, he shot one
of them so far.

He's going out after
the other two

instead of waiting for them
to come into town.

What do you want me to do
in the meantime?

- Marshal: Keep an eye out.
- Okay, marshal.

Virgil, I was just over
talking to Mary Alice
at the pond.

Mm-hmm.

And what'd she
have to say?

She said a band of outlaws
might be headed this way.

She says
a lot of things.

Well, she heard this
from the marshal in dogma.

- Well, I guess I need
to go talk to the mar--
- [ Knocks ]

[ Distant dog barking ]

Howdy, folks.

And who are you?

Just a traveler looking
for a place to lay my head.

Let's talk outside.

Look, friend, we don't
take in strangers here.

Them's the rules, huh?

Yep.

How much would it cost
to bend those rules?

You'd best be on your way.

There ain't no call
for nothing like that.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Gunshots ]

Damn it, you people
need to learn

- the meaning of the word
"hospitality."
- [ Gunshot ]

I'm gonna
sleep good tonight.

Hi, frank.
Come on in.

- How you been?
- Good as I can be.

- How about you?
- I've been good,

but we've got
some problems.

Yeah, I know.
This town's going
to hell and back.

We need to talk.

What can you tell me
about this Leon fella?

More than I'd like
to tell you.

What you mean?

He's William's father.

I met him 20 years ago
in Carson city.

- Did he come here for you?
- No, he didn't know who I was.

I didn't know who he was
until I saw the necklace.

That glass-bullet necklace
he was wearing?

Yeah, I had a blacksmith make
that necklace for him.

He was only supposed to be gone
for a few days, but...

He never came back.

You forgave him
for that yet?

I have no ill will
towards him.

He gave me the best thing
that ever happened to me.

Every day I see William

I remember
what I live for.

What was he before
he became a bounty hunter?

A marshal--
a damn good one.

[ Sighs ]

He was supposed to be
going after Pete holling.

The last thing I heard was that
Pete got shot in cold blood.

Leon got accused of it.

That's why he left.

That's why I don't have
any ill will towards him.

So he's a marshal, huh?

Damn good one.

What are you doing
around these parts?

Just passing
through, marshal.

Sure about that?

I'm just here to stay
the night and I'll be
heading out by morning.

How about you head out
before nightfall?

We have too much
going on around here
to worry about drifters.

- If you say so, marshal.
- I do.

Finish your business here
and get out of town.

- What'd that man say to you?
- Not a lot of anything,
marshal.

Asked for a couple of shots
of whiskey and then you came.

I think he might be one of those outlaws.

- I'm not sure though.
- I'll keep my eye out for you,

let you know
what's going around.

I'd appreciate that.

Jane:
Thanks for going
on a walk with me.

Gives us both
time to talk.

William:
I was hoping we could maybe
see each other again.

You ever see yourself
settling down?

If I can find
the right circumstances.

- I want to have a horse farm.
- That sounds mighty fine.

So you really
like horses?

I love
everything about them.
How about you?

Eh, they're good
for when you need 'em.

You any good
with that?

I forgot I had it on.

You-- you could say
I'm learning the ropes.

Well, that's a relief,
especially with all this
killing going on.

That's why I don't want
to head to gordo just yet.

So long as you're with me,

we'll get through this
until it's settled.

You don't have
to say a word.

I know what
you're here for.

All right, what then?

Demons.

Demons that hide
themselves in bad men.

So have you seen
those men?

Mister, I used
to be a preacher.

I'm very much aware

of these men.

Well, I killed one
of them already.

You can't kill

what already
walks dead!

You make no sense.

You know where
these men are?

Mister, there's been
too much killing.

Well, I'm afraid
there's gonna have to be

a little bit more
before this thing is done.

[ Clicks tongue ]

Much obliged.

You might find what
you're looking for.

You might!

[ Echoes ]
You might!

You might find what
you're looking for.

[ Thuds ]

Mind if I join you?

What are you doing
around here?

Ain't nobody
come around here.

I'm looking for outlaws.

Have you seen any?

Well hell, you're looking
at two of them right now.

You want to try me?

Looks like
you're outnumbered.

- [ Gun clicks ]
- I may be outnumbered,

but you die first.

How about you hold your pistol
and we'll hold ours?

That sounds good.

Tell me what you know.

Came through here
awhile back.

- Leon: When?
- A couple of days ago.

Heard they were
heading for dogma.

That's where I need
to be right now.

Well, you're headed
in the wrong direction.

Yeah, I figured that.

Hey, what's the deal with that
crazy preacher out there?

You seen the preacher?

Yeah, I saw
the preacher.

Well now, not everybody's seen the preacher.

What the hell is that
supposed to mean?

It don't mean nothing.
Some folks seen him,

some don't.
That's all.

I'm gonna hit the trail.
You people talk in riddles
around here.

Just remember
we did you a favor.

If you say so.

[ Guitar strumming ]

Robert, is that you?

I thought you wasn't
coming back anymore.

[ Echoing ]
I'm not coming back.

What you mean?

I got shot, Landon.

Left to dry up in the sun.

That can't be true.

Me and Parker are dead.

I don't believe that.
You can't be dead.

You right here
next to me.

The shadow of death
is waiting for you
if you don't leave now.

You expect me to leave?

It's just you and jarson

against the whole town.

I can't do that, Robert.

Remember how the job in gordo
went up in flames?

The plan will work.

The gang is more
prepared this time.

I'm going now, Landon.

I'll get more men.
I'll go after the ones
who did this to you.

It was good
to know you.

[ Rock music playing ]

How are you, marshal?

You're not allowed in here.
What are you doing in there?

I'm taking your job.

You couldn't take my job
from my cold, dead fingers.

I don't want
to kill you, marshal.

I'm holding down your guns
and office though.

If you make this a problem,
I'll put a bullet through you.

What's the matter?

My office was taken over
by one of those bandits.

Kill anybody?

No, he didn't even
take a shot at me.

Just said let him be
and no harm would come.

I figured we'd put
together a plan.

Let's let him
get comfortable,

then we'll take him.

I am sick of this!

That bounty hunter's
not taking them out
like he said he was.

I found out something
about our bounty hunter.

What's that?

He was a lawman
just like you.

Really?

Yes, he was.

Where'd you
come across this?

I have my ways.

Where do you
suppose he is now?

I'm thinking
he's on his way back here.

[ Leaves rustling ]

- This the infirmary?
- Yes, it is.

- Who the hell are you?
- None of your damn business.

- [ Chatting ]
- Mr. Fiction?

- Yes ma'am?
- The doctor will see you
in about 10 minutes.

I can't believe Rodney
lost his leg.

Damn mine collapsed.

Third time
this month, right?

Won't be the last time.
I can bet you that.

You guys up for a game
of cards later?

Only if you want to lose
your whole day's pay.

I hate waiting
in this hellhole.

All the nurses gonna do is take
a look at us and send us back.

I got a proposition
for you boys.

We don't want
no business with you.

Wait, let's give the man
a chance to talk.

Hell, what can
we lose, a lung?

He's probably
looking for a job.

There ain't no jobs
around these parts, mister.

You boys ever thought
about being outlaws?

Take the future
into your own hands.

Make a hell
of a lot more money.

The three of us don't
even know how to use a gun.

You trying to recruit us

to commit crimes?

I got money,
a lot of it.

Half up front,
half when the job's done.

You're not pulling our leg?

I have horses,
guns and supplies.

All's I need is a gang
to ride with me to dogma.

That's about 20 miles
from here.

Sounds a lot better than
giving your life to the mines.

Well, what's
everybody's name?

- Well, I'm Jordan.
- Luther.

- The name's Steven.
- Okay.

Luther,
Jordan and Steven,

- I'm Landon.
- This sounds a bit risky.

I've got a sister
and I'm her provider.

Hey, working in these coal mines
every day is risky.

You never know whether
you coming back or not.

What about all that money?

Think about how much that
could help you and her.

It won't help her
if I'm dead.

Sorry, fellas,
but I can't risk that.

I got a plan, boys.
We ride tonight,

in the morning
we'll be in dogma.

There won't be much opposition
after they see what we can do.

What about
the townspeople?

To hell
with the townspeople!

I think they killed
my partner Robert.

Robert ally?

Old man?

Yeah, what do you
know about it?

I was just in dogma.
Your man ally

got into a scrap
with a bounty hunter.

[ Sighs ]

So what happened?

[ Sighs ]

The old man
didn't make it.

We need at least
one more man for this job.

Any of you boys
got any ideas?

I have a brother-in-law,

lives back on the edge
of the woods, near the mines.

He's named elrich.
He's--

he's not too bright
in the head

and he's got
kind of a potbelly,

bless his heart,

but he's slick
with a shotgun

and he loves
the smell of money.

So we'll get Luther
to pick him up,

since he's out
near them parts.

- [ Thuds ]
- This is money.

Keep some for yourself,
give the rest to him.

Tell him to meet us
in dogma tomorrow.

As for you two,

we've got a ride
in store for us.

Luther, the doctor
can see you now.

Sounds like a deal.

Outlaw, I'm talking
to you!

What you want,
old timer?

I'll make you
a deal,

let you walk out
a free man if you leave
and never come back.

You'd let me walk free
just that easy?

- That's my word.
- [ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshots ]

Come out
with your hands up!

I guess I'm taking you
to your grave, marshal.

We don't want
no trouble, mister.

Just put your guns down
and step out nice and easy.

You don't want no trouble?

You killed
two of my partners!

I'm warning you
for the last time.

Drop your guns and step
out with your hands up

or I'll be forced
to fire!

Go ahead and fire, marshal.

I'm not giving myself up.

You boys gonna
stand and fight?

I don't want
any cowards.

I know
I'm ready.

Are you sure
you're ready?

Whoa whoa whoa, Landon.
He don't mean anything by it.

You need to know this ain't
no job for just anyone.

We know that.
It's nothing to play
around with.

The first time
one of y'all hesitates,

it could cost
one of us our lives.

When do we split up?

Me and Steven take the south
entrance in the morning.

You head to town
and stick to yourself

until we get there.

What's the plan
once you two get there?

Kill everyone.

[ Insects chirping ]

It's a nice evening
tonight, isn't it?

Be better if I can
go into town.

Now you listen to me.

That town's dangerous
right now.

You hear me?

I wanna be a gunslinger

and I've been practicing
with Mr. Spellings

on my free days
from chores.

You've been what?

Well, Mr. Spellings said
I needed to know my way
around a gun.

And, uh...

How to use one.

I'm disappointed
in you.

Well...

I'm growing up, ma.

There's a lot
of bad people out there.

Well, I'm a good person

and I need to know
how to protect myself.

Well, I understand that.
I just wish you'd told me.

I just did.

I meant before.

Sorry, mama.

There's something important
I need to tell you anyway.

What is it?

Do you remember Mr. Copper?

Yeah, the bounty hunter.

Yeah, well...

We were friends
a long time ago.

Well, what I meant
to say was...

He's your father.

What?

I thought my father
was dead.

I did too.
I didn't think
I'd ever see him again.

Did he come back
to find us?

No, a job led him
through here.

It's a blessing
he stopped by.

Is he coming back?

He said he was.

He said he wanted
to spend some time
with you.

What do you think
about that?

I think I'd like that.

When he comes back,

I want you to treat him
with respect.

No backtalk.

Yes ma'am.

You can count on me.

So why'd we stop?

We're only
a few miles
from dogma.

I want you two
to go in alone.

What do we do
when we get there?

Wait for me.

[ Sighs ]
Anything else?

Yeah, y'all come
across a lawman,

y'all split up again.

- Why?
- If you go up against
someone like that,

you go alone.
Tell him you're a miner.

Don't mention me.
Don't mention the others.

You've both been
riding all night.

You might want
to get some rest.

[ Rock music playing ]

[ Yelps ]

Damn, he got me
in the leg.

You okay, marshal?

[ Groaning ]

- You all right, marshal?
- No, damn it, he shot me.

Do you believe
this Landon fella?

About the money?

Yeah.

I don't know.

Sure seems
to have a lot of it.

Sure does,
and you're right--
this sure beats mining.

It seems to me the risk
is about the same.

I think so.
Just last week

old frank Robinson was
killed down in the hole.

His family was left
with nothing.

I don't want
to be like that.

I wanna make a name
for myself.

Yeah.
Fill our pockets

with some of that gold
we've been hearing about.

Yep! Head off
somewhere in the sunset.

I think I see someone.

I can't make out who it is.

It could be the law.

What should I do?

Just act normal.

And remember,

you're alone.

Where are you
heading, boy?

Just going to the brothel
for the evening.

You some kind of a cowboy
or something?

No sir,
I'm a miner.

This here is just
for protection.

Well, I can't let you go
through to dogma.

I'm out here looking
for some outlaws.

For all I know,
you just might be one of them.

Do I look like one?

No.
To be honest,

you don't even look like
you know how to use that gun.

I suggest you go back
to where you came from.

I'll show him I know
how to use my pistol.

[ Groans ]

What do you
suggest, marshal?

[ Coughs ]

I think we'd better wait
on that bounty hunter.

He's gotta know there's more
than one of them here now.

That could take days.

We don't have
much choice, frank.

We need all your money,

all your food and all
the water you've got.

Jane:
Miss Katherine?

I don't have
a whole lot of money

and the only food I have is
enough for me and my guests.

We didn't ask
for no explanations.

We asked for supplies.

You don't scare me.

Now leave my house.

That's the wrong answer!

Lasso those
two horses over there.
They're ours now.

Kill his ass already!

I gotta get this bullet
outta my leg.

- [ Groans ]
- [ Gunshot ]

Get me outta here!

Damn, it's Leon.

What happened to him?

How many did you get?

I didn't get any.

I can tell you where one is.
Right across the street.

- You're the bartender, right?
- Yeah.

Marshal, is this all
the men you've got

to help to defend
this town?

None of the others
would lift a hand.

He's held up over there
in the marshal's office.

A slick one, he is.

Let's find out
how slick he is.

Bartender, you stay here
and stake out the store.

Frank, you come with me

and let's go check
on Katherine and William,

make sure they're okay.

Hurry back.
I saw some running that way.

- How many'd you see?
- Two of them.

That don't make no sense.

We'd better hurry and go check
on Katherine and William.

William!

[ Sobbing ]

I love you,
Katherine Bonney.

I'll kill everybody
responsible for this.

Why?!
Why her?

[ Sobbing ]

Frank, can you
leave us alone?

I need to talk
to William for a bit.

All right.
I'll go inside.

William,

there's a lot
I need to tell you.

Is this about
you being my pa?

So your mother
must have told you.

Yes sir.

- She did.
- Did you see who did this?

There was two men
in the distance.

And I'm gonna kill both
of them sons of bitches.

William, you don't even
know how to shoot a gun.

Yes sir,
Mr. Spellings taught me.

You ain't going nowhere.

You're my only son.
You're my flesh and blood

and you're all
I got left.

[ Rock music playing ]

Hey.

Who did this?

That there is
doc wiley's handiwork.

How about a game
of five-card stud?

Landon:
Okay.

[ Coin clanks ]

I don't think I've seen you
around here before.

Just got into town.

You got friends around here
or are you just drifting?

I used to ride with that man
out there in the coffin.

Oh yeah?
What was his name?

Parker. He saved
my life many times.

I guess I couldn't
return the favor.

I hear doc wiley
fixed him up.

That's right.

I sure would like
to meet this doc wiley.

Thank him for fixing up
my friend.

I think
he'd appreciate that

and I'll pass
the word on for you.

Sure would like to tell him myself.

You know where he lives?

I don't think I can give you
that information, mister.

Won't turn over
your friend, huh?

[ Chuckles ]
That's downright
honorable of you.

[ Laughs ]

Don't tell anybody that.

You know, you might remember
someone else who came
in a few days ago.

Who might that be?

Robert ally.

Robert ally?

Yeah,

that name's
vaguely familiar.

I hear he was shot down
by a bounty hunter.

Did you see
that happen?

Yes, I did.

And?

The bounty hunter drew faster,
that's all there was to it.

Did Robert mention
who he was?

What do you mean by that?

Did he tell you he was
one of the four horsemen?

You mean
the apocalypse thing?

That's what I mean.

Well, I'm never...

Studied much about
that biblical stuff.

Did you believe him?

I don't want to play
five-card stud.

What game would you
like to play?

Well, wagers.

I'd like
to place some bets.

What'd you have in mind?

I'm willing to bet you
500 bucks

that everyone in this town
will be dead by sunset.

- Well, what do you think?
- Even me?

I said
everyone in this town.

Uh...

I don't think I want
to take that bet.

[ Cards rustle ]

I think I'm gonna
find that doc,

give him some money
on account of Parker.

[ Coins jingling ]

[ Bird cawing ]

Well, hello there, Stanford.
What brings you out here?

Dr. Wiley, I was just
visited by a man

who's looking for you.

- Is he sick?
- No sir.

He's a friend of
the man that the marshal

and Mr. Spelling shot down.

So what's he want with me?

Well, he claims

he's wanting to thank you
for fixing his friend up

and pay you something
for your trouble.

You think there's more to it
than that, don't you?

Yes sir.

This is
a dangerous man, Dr. Wiley.

I can feel it in here.

This man's like a dark cloud
over the whole town.

He scares
the hell out of me.

So what do you think
I should do, Stanford?

Get into town and stay there.

Get yourself around
other people,

don't go anywhere alone.

Well, Stanford,
you must have thought
mighty strong about this

to leave your little perch
at the saloon.

I'm guessing
I'll take your advice.

It'd be the best thing.

[ Groans ]

I'm glad to see you
back up on your feet.

Looks like that rest
did you some good.

- What happened when I was out?
- More of those outlaws
are here.

How many of them are
in town and where are they?

Couple of them made it
out to Katherine's house.

They shot her dead,
and that little girl
that was staying with her.

What you got
in mind, marshal?

Let's take the one in my
office where all the guns
and ammunition are.

We'll worry about
the others later.

Who knows?
When they hear
all the shooting starting,

maybe they'll come out
and expose themselves.

♪ Camptown races,
blah blah blah ♪

♪ doo dah, doo dah.

Got him running!

Jarson:
Landon, good to see you.
Who the hell are these guys?

Landon:
This is the new gang.
There's five of us now.

These boys
are ready to go.

We can take
this town, Landon.

Yeah, we run into
a marshal or something.

He had us turn around
and head back to town.

We waited a few
and came anyway.

Yeah, bastard stuck a gun
in Steven's face.

[ Chuckles ]
Not the first time, huh?

How about telling me
what's going on, jarson.

The only ones that been
fighting so far is the marshal,

the store owner
and a couple of other guys.

The rest of the town's
a bunch of chickenshits.

What is wrong
with you people?!

This is your town.
This is your fight.

Get in the fight.
C'mon!

[ Yells ]

The bastard went
in the saloon.

Hey!

What do you think?!
What do you think?!

What the hell you gonna do?
What the hell you gonna do?

- Nothing.
- Get your ass outta here.

- [ Knife zings ]
- [ Landon yells ]

[ Yells ]

[ Yells ]

I'm gonna kill you,
you son of a bitch!

You'd better stop talking
and start shooting.

[ Yells ]

I got you covered,
now go on out.

What do you mean?

- I can take care of it myself.
- But, Leon--

just do it!

[ Yells ]

Aw shit.

It looks like I got
your partner.

If you give up,
I'm gonna make your death quick.

If you don't,

I'm gonna make you suffer.

Yeah, wishful thinking.

I'm tired of this shit!

[ Yells ]

[ Instrumental music playing ]

Come on, Leon,

don't die on me.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

Billy's voice:
My mama was buried soon after
the fighting ended

and I held a ceremony.

Now her and Leon both
lay next to each other.

As for
the glass-bullet necklace,

well,

I keep that
in a safe place.

I headed towards Lincoln county to start a new life.

I don't call myself
William any more.

And I carry two
of my own pistols.

Just call me Billy--

Billy the kid.
