Billy the Kid (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Little Bit of Paradise - full transcript
Previously on "Billy the Kid"...
Wanna do some practicing?
I'll bring the Winchester.
Come on,
let's get outta here, Jesse.
I was thinking
of heading back into Texas,
pick up some work.
Maybe you wanna string along?
If you can rope and ride,
them ranchers don't care
about nothin' else.
Whoo!
You're an outlaw now, boy.
You ain't got a lot of options.
Heard some horses
got stolen up at Camp Grant.
Did you steal him, boy?
I killed a man.
I didn't mean to.
I had no choice.
I have to go back.
Tell the truth.
You have been arrested
for the foul murder
of Windy Cahill. I order you
placed in the guardhouse
under surveillance.
What am I doing here?
I don't remember much.
I run with a group
called the Seven River Gang.
One of the boys recognized you,
brought you here.
There are "Wanted" posters
for you all over the state.
How long are your boys
gonna be away?
Another week or so, I guess.
They're back.

♪♪♪
Aah!
Whoo!
- Billy.
- Hey, boys.
It's been a while.
You're alive.
I guess I am.
I've missed you.
Thank God we found you.
Fellas, this here...
is a very old friend of mine--
Kid Antrim.
Billy,
Bob Olinger, John Beckwith.
Good to meet you.
Hope Barbara has been
taking care of you?
She took care of me
like a nurse, Jesse.
Couldn't have been kinder.
- Make some room.
- Take that hat off.
We've seen posters of you.
- Hey! Watch it!
- Yeah. That might be
a problem, I mean
if you wanted to ride with us.
You being wanted
and your picture everywhere.
That picture don't look
anything like Billy.
Hey, hey.
I'm just saying, Jesse.
If I want Billy
to ride with us...
then he rides with us.
- Got that?
- Yup.
Enough said.
Whoo!
Mmm. Want more?
We're thinking of going out
to El Paso.
You wanna join us, Billy?
Maybe.
What's stopping you?
I still have a hankering
to go straight, Jesse.
You're wanted
in two counties.
How's that gonna happen?
You want him to stay
with us, don't you?
Yes, I do.
I'd love for him to stay.
Just how much do you love him?
Just as much as I want to.
Yeah, come on.
I joined you so I could be free,
not with them Calvinists
who didn't give me any choice
and whipped me
for having feelings,
and stopped me from having
any sense of who I was.
You should know that, Jesse.
Oh, I know that all right.
Yup. Yup. Yup.
It should be a good show.
It's gonna be exciting.
Pick it up! Come on.
♪♪♪
Barbara!
This isn't gonna work.
He should accept what is.
I'm talking about me.
I'm not sure I can accept
having to share you.
You gotta grow up, Billy.
I love you.
You see?
I won't belong to either
of you, Billy.
Wait.
I need a horse.
Why?
'Cause of what Olinger said.
Me riding with you
ain't a good idea.
That the real reason?
What'd you mean?
I mean, the thing going on
between you and Barbara.
And just tell me, you do it in
your bed or you do it in mine?
Are you gonna lend me
a horse or not?
Send it back when you can.
Thank you.
Why don't you stay
with us for the day?
I want the boys to see
your skills before you go.
You'll put 'em all to shame.
Let's go! Let's go.
Whoo!
That's how you shoot!
Here we go, Boss!
Here we go!
Whoa!
I've seen better.
Nice shootin', kid.
- That's all right.
- Nice shooting, boy.
How fast are you, kid?
You gotta get quicker
on the draw, Billy...
or you're a dead man.
♪♪♪♪
Jesse, don't.
Why not?
- You have no cause to shoot him.
- No?
He never did any wrong,
and you know he didn't.
That's what you say.
And you know what?
You can't shoot him.
Why is that?
'Cause you love him.
This Chihuahua?
Hola, señor.
Hola.
Gracias.
♪♪♪
Ah, shit.
Buenos días.
♪♪♪
Hey!
Uhh!
Melquiades Segura.
You?
William Bonney.
I think this is your first time
in Chihuahua, no, William?
It's my first time in Mexico.
Okay. I could tell.
And so could those bandits.
They weren't just trying
to rob me, were they?
They were tryin' to kill me.
You have to understand.
A lot of people here...
Hey!
They don't like gringos.
There's been a lot
of trouble recently
with Americans trying
to grab land.
This has always been our land.
Now it is being stolen.
There have been a lot
of shootings and murders, and...
people are angry.
My own father
was killed that way.
Why are you here?
Running away from something.
What do you do for a living?
Whatever I can.
What about you?
Me? I'm a gambler.
Do you play poker?
Sure, I do.
You have any money left on you?
A little bit.
The first thing you're gonna
need in this town is a gun.
Hmm.
Aw, shit.
All right.
I'll wager you two pesos
you can't hit that can.
Hmm. Too bad.
Huh.
Muchas gracias.
Hey,
you told me you play poker.
Mm-hmm.
How well do you play poker?
- Pretty well.
- As good as you shoot?
Look, there's a big game
in town.
The dealer is this man
called Don Ortiz.
Okay.
I'm a pretty good player,
but I lost a lot of money.
Maybe you're not as good
as you think you are, then.
No, no, no, hey! Hey!
He cheats.
I'm not sure how he cheats,
but I'm pretty sure he does it.
I wanna win my money back...
and in the process,
break Don Ortiz.
That's a tall order.
Never had a good poker player
to play with me.
So you wanna double-team him?
I think you can do it.
You're not scared.
Ortiz is a dangerous man,
but from what I've seen,
so are you.
It's your choice.
Or we're dead.
♪♪♪
Don Ortiz.
♪♪♪
Un gringo.
Sit down.
You are very welcome...
Gringo.
Muchas gracias.
Buenas noches.
You got your money.
I'm never going back
in there again.
I thought I was gonna have
to shoot my way out.
Nice.
Tonight,
I'm gonna sleep like a baby.
Sleep?
No, no. Hey, hey, who said
anything about sleep?
This is my friend.
He's a gringo.
Really.

♪♪♪
- Hola.
- Hola.
Gracias.
She's Maria,
and I'm Juliana.
Sí.
Billy.
So why are you here
in Chihuahua?
Will you buy us a drink?
Sí.
♪♪♪
I've heard of the family, eh?
They're rich.
♪♪♪
Be very polite, huh?
Hey, and mind your manners.
This is a very old
and respectable family.
You wouldn't know it
from the way they danced.
You don't understand
Mexican girls, mi hijo.
They can dance like that, yes,
but they also want
to stay virgins
for the day they get married.
You know, they were brought up
pretty religiously.
It's...the way they are.
It's like a promise
to their future husband.
You marry me, you get all this!
- Naw, you're fuckin' with me.
- Oh, I'm not fucking with you.
I've lived with this
my whole life.
You're serious?
- Yes.
- Well, how do I look?
Okay. Let me just see.
Here.
Escapulario.
Huh. It was my dad's.
Ay, que chulo!
Hey. Knock on the door.
Muchas gracias.
Don't pay any attention to Mama.
She still lives
in another world.
Maximillian!
We have prepared
the guest room for you...
if you would like
to stay the night.
You want us to stay?
We have made
some nice plans for you.
Okay.
Hey, hey.
These sisters are
the richest people in town.
You have to be awake.
Hola.
Sí, señora. Sí.
Muchas gracias.
Um, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no.
Buenas noches.
Muchas gracias.
Buenas noches, señora.
Hasta luego.
Thank you.
Shh, shh.
No, no, no, no, no.
Hey.
Wake up! Our money!
What are you doing?
- Our money! Our money!
- Where is it?
They made fools of us!
- What?
- It's gone.
Oh, fuck!
No, no, no, hey.
Let's go get it.
- Let's go get it.
- Okay.
Señora.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Easy, easy. Come on.
That was one
big, fat, fucking mistake.
Ah! I didn't hear you
complain about coming here!
Because I trusted you!
What are we gonna do?
I don't know.
You tell me.
What are we gonna do?
Buenas.
Señor?
Señor?
Señor?
- Come! What was that?
- I can't do this.
You can't do this?
We talked about this.
You don't understand.
I'm not a criminal.
Oh, Billy, Billy!
I only shot someone once
in self-defense and...
- No, no, no, no, no.
- I had no choice.
No, you told me you rustled
cattle, you stole horses.
- Those are crimes, my friend.
- But not against people.
Against people...
I don't rob stores
because people run them.
I tried that once.
I'm not doing it again.
That is not a store, Billy.
That is a bank.
Yeah, this bank?
We wouldn't be robbing
from the bank.
We'd be robbing from all these
people and their savings.
Including that mother
and her son.
I won't do that. It's not right.

Where are you planning on
going next, my friend?
I don't know.
There was a time
I thought I had a plan.
I came down to Mexico
looking for a fresh start...
place to make things right.
Well, I have to go back
to New Mexico
and take care
of some family business.
Yeah, I gotta stay clear
of New Mexico for a while.
Well, then, I guess this is it.
This trail here takes me
to where I need to go.
What about that way?
Oh, that is Texas. Eh?
Then maybe it's time
I took a look around Texas.
I heard of this little town
once called El Paso.
Hmm.
Sounds about as good
a place as any.
I hope you find what
you're looking for, Billy. Eh?
All right. You go first.
