The Young Riders (1989–1992): Season 1, Episode 22 - Then There Was One - full transcript

When aging survivors of the Alamo are found murdered, one by one, Teaspoon and his old friend travel to Texas to get to the bottom of the killings. Jimmy and Buck follow in search of the truth and to lend a hand, and they learn that there is more to their mentor's past than they realized.

Heard he's connected
with the pony express.

Same as yourself, son.

His name's teaspoon hunter.

Whoa, whoa! What do you think
you're doin'?

I lost my way.

I heard you comin', though.

You can't hear nothin'
in this mess.

You just ain't been
practicin' long enough.

I'm not lookin'
for any trouble.
Just an old friend.

Waitin' on you!

I lost my way.



His name's teaspoon hunter.

I'm on my way
to the Sweetwater station.

If you can keep up,
you can follow.

Pretty big storm.

I'm not lookin'
for any trouble.
Just an old friend.

Ain't nobody lives out here.

Heard he's connected
with the pony express.

Well, it's a very
delicate operation.

Especially with some fool,
standin' in the rain,
starin' over my shoulder

if you can keep up,
you can follow.

Hi.

Thought all the horse thieves
is still in jail.

Especially with some fool,
standin' in the rain,
starin' over my shoulder

when he's got chores
that need doin'.



Pretty big storm.

What's the matter?
Ain't you never seen a man
repair a window before?

As a matter of fact, I haven't.

Well, it's a very
delicate operation.

You know, the strangest thing.

I haven't been able
to get you out of my mind
for the past week and now...

Thought all the horse thieves
is still in jail.

I know you?

If you're still
teaspoon hunter,
you sure as hell do.

Well, I learned my lesson.
Next time, I'll take me
a pretty girl.

I haven't been able
to get you out of my mind
for the past week and now...

Now, I'm here.

Well, I learned my lesson.
Next time, I'll take me
a pretty girl.

If you're still
teaspoon hunter,
you sure as hell do.

But I don't think
you come callin'
after all this time

just to see how I'm gettin' on.

I imagine it has to do
with a certain approachin'
25th anniversary.

Am I right?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's been
weighin' heavy on me.

I imagine it has to do
with a certain approachin'
25th anniversary.

Am I right?

Erastus, we can sidestep
around this all night,

but I don't think
you come callin'
after all this time

Yeah, it's been
weighin' heavy on me.

So heavy that

I took to visit
some of the others.

Dead.

Oh, lordy, lordy.

Dick rockens.

Alabama Smith.

Murdered.

I took to visit
some of the others.

Darrel targo.

Except for nightmares,
I ain't heard them names
spoke in over 20 years, huh.

Yeah.

To a human bein'
when he's sleepin'.

Eastern coral snake?

Don't find them kind
around Alabama's cabin.

Yeah.

How the heck are they?

Dead.

I found Alabama Smith
dead in his cabin 5 days ago.

Snake bit him
right between the eyes.

Don't find them kind
around Alabama's cabin.

Not unless they've had help.

What you tryin' to say?

There's somebody out there
killin' those of us off
that's still left.

Murdered?

Every one of 'em.

I found Alabama Smith
dead in his cabin 5 days ago.

There's somebody out there
killin' those of us off
that's still left.

Why? Don't make sense.

Snake bit him
right between the eyes.

Hold on, erastus. We both know
a snake likes to saddle up

to a human bein'
when he's sleepin'.

But I'm goin' to Texas.

I'm gonna warn the other 3
besides us.

There's coates, eberly,
and... and there's Stanton,
if I can find him.

Well, I just got a letter
from Stanton.

We gotta go into town,
get supplies.

Why? Don't make sense.

Maybe not.

But I'm goin' to Texas.

Well, I just got a letter
from Stanton.

Invite to his
daughter's wedding
down in Tucson.

The hell you did.

We?

Well, you got
responsibility here.

I got responsibilities
down there, too.

We gotta go into town,
get supplies.

We?

Appears the storm
ain't quite over yet.

Let's get inside.

Erastus and me
got a few more items
to pick up.

Why don't you boys just
stay here and try not gettin'
into no permanent mischief.

Appears the storm
ain't quite over yet.

Excuse me.
You boys seem a bit lost.

Might have something here
to interest you.

Why don't you boys just
stay here and try not gettin'
into no permanent mischief.

Is it me
or it strike anyone else

teaspoon's been actin'
a little bit peculiar lately?

Erastus and me
got a few more items
to pick up.

Well, he's been
keepin' to himself,

yellin' at buck the way he did.

And now this old friend
showin' up.

Her name? Adventure.
Excitement.

The army, huh?
See much action?

Well, I can tell you
from experience,

teaspoon's been actin'
a little bit peculiar lately?

I mean, even for teaspoon.

Well, he's been
keepin' to himself,

Well, I can tell you
from experience,

nothin' impresses the ladies
like a man in uniform.

Opinion has it
there'll be a war back east.

Might have something here
to interest you.

Oh, yeah?
What's her name?

Her name? Adventure.
Excitement.

I'm a keen reader
on the subject.
Bunker hill and Concord.

You're not serious
about this, are you?

Life will never
be the same, son.

Well, at least
there's one grain of truth
in what he says.

I know.

I'm a keen reader
on the subject.
Bunker hill and Concord.

Well, at least
there's one grain of truth
in what he says.

Hey, teaspoon.
I was just thinkin' about it.

Opinion has it
there'll be a war back east.

Nothin' like the glory
of battle to test a man,
see what he's made of.

A lot of people gettin' killed.

It's damned hard to find
a good reason to fight a war

and what this fella's sayin'
sure ain't one of 'em.

Sir, I take exception
to your accusation.

And I take exception
to anyone who sells death
as an excitin' adventure.

Especially some desk ridin'
pencil pushin' toy soldier

sir, I take exception
to your accusation.

And I take exception
to anyone who sells death
as an excitin' adventure.

Hey, teaspoon.
I was just thinkin' about it.

I mean, it doesn't mean
I'm quittin'.

War ain't all glory
like them story books
you read.

What war's mostly about
is a lot of killin'.

A lot of people gettin' killed.

Especially some desk ridin'
pencil pushin' toy soldier

who'd fill his britches
at the first sign of battle.

Now, my boys got chores to do.

Erastus and me'll be leavin'
for Texas tomorrow mornin'.

Texas?

I ain't sure when I'll be back.

Private business.

Can't you tell us
where you'll be goin'
in Texas?

I might, if I was a fool.

I ain't sure when I'll be back.

I expect you boys
to take care of things
while I'm gone

and to mind Emma.

My regrets to miss Emma.

I'm gonna pass supper
and turn in early.

Good night, old friend.

Erastus and me'll be leavin'
for Texas tomorrow mornin'.

And to mind Emma.

Why Texas?

Oh, erastus and me
got business there.

Private business.

Is that understood?

Well, uh, do all that
mush talk in the mornin'.

I got to get packin'.
Good night.

I might, if I was a fool.

I don't want none of you
followin' me down there.

You got work to tend to here.

I got to get packin'.
Good night.

I'm sorry.
I don't mean to pry, but...

It ain't like you
to just get up
and leave like this.

Thought you might
need some help.

Ain't none of your business.

It ain't like you
to just get up
and leave like this.

Thought you might
need some help.

I'm sorry.
I don't mean to pry, but...

Ain't none of your business,
either.

And that?

Ain't none of your business,
either.

Well, he did.

You two want to
keep it down, please?

I've been ridin' all night.
I'd like to get some shuteye.

Teaspoon ain't no gunfighter
and you know it.

I ain't dreamin', Cody.

He drew down on me
when I walked in on him.

Teaspoon's gone.

Gone?

He just rode off with Hawkins.

What are you talkin' about?
Teaspoon wouldn't leave
without saying goodbye.

Well, he did.

He's wearin'
a gunfighter's rig,
custom holster and all.

Then you must be dreamin',
Jimmy.

Teaspoon ain't no gunfighter
and you know it.

I've been ridin' all night.
I'd like to get some shuteye.

Teaspoon's gone.

He's wearin'
a gunfighter's rig,
custom holster and all.

He'll have our hides.
You heard what he said.

Aren't you the least bit
curious?

Emma needs us.
We got mail to run.

He drew down on me
when I walked in on him.

Fastest I've ever seen.

Still, I guess we could
get by with 4 riders.

Then, you better
draw straws to find out
who's goin' with me.

Fastest I've ever seen.

Just 'cause he's fast,
that don't make him
a gunfighter, Jimmy.

The notches on his gun
says different.

I aim to find out
what's goin' on.

He'll have our hides.
You heard what he said.

We'll keep out of teaspoon's
sight, he'll have to be
tracked most of the way.

Emma needs us.
We got mail to run.

Then, you better
draw straws to find out
who's goin' with me.

No. I'll go.

We'll keep out of teaspoon's
sight, he'll have to be
tracked most of the way.

My 5, we just about wed
every eligible woman
in this territory.

Well, when you're as
full of love as we are,

it's only fair
to spread it around.

What's wrong with us, teaspoon?

I didn't know these kind
of cactus grew in Texas.

Well, catching 'em
was never the problem.
Holdin' on.

How many wives?

About 6.

My 5, we just about wed
every eligible woman
in this territory.

They don't.

I've seen a constipated snake
ride a straighter course
than these 2.

It's only fair
to spread it around.

I've seen a constipated snake
ride a straighter course
than these 2.

Turns old newt...

Old newt got in the bottom
of a bottle

targo lit out for the mountain.

Alabama holed up
in that old cabin.

Old newt got in the bottom
of a bottle

and he just stayed there
till the day he died.

Targo lit out for the mountain.

Tumbleweeds.

You know, I always thought
something's wrong with me.

Alabama holed up
in that old cabin.

And me, I just been driftin'.

Never takin' no root.

Just seemed like after the war,

somethin' got to growin'
in my innards.

And it just kept growin'

Why we got out of there
when so many good men didn't?

Yeah.

I tell you, erastus,

that's what we are.

Blowin' with the wind.

Never takin' no root.

Until there just weren't
no room for nothin' else.

I just can't,
for the life of me,
figure out...

Why we got out of there
when so many good men didn't?

And it just kept growin'

until there just weren't
no room for nothin' else.

Got to figure it wasn't.

Now, I ain't sayin'
that makes it any easier.

Especially when you think about

I tell you, erastus,

if I thought about it once,
I must have asked
for the good lord

to answer me that question
10,000 times.

In case my surviving
was just a mistake
on his part.

But,

Not just your friends, but

the ones you killed.

The ones whose lives you took
just 'cause they was

since I'm still here, uh,

got to figure it wasn't.

To answer me that question
10,000 times.

And I gave him plenty chances
to take me, too.

In case my surviving
was just a mistake
on his part.

All the men
that ain't gonna be no more.

Not just your friends, but

'Cause it was their time
instead of yours.

Yeah.

The ones whose lives you took
just 'cause they was

wearin' a different uniform
or...

Especially when you think about

all the men
that ain't gonna be no more.

Wearin' a different uniform
or...

'Cause it was their time
instead of yours.

Yeah, I reckon that's right.

Rise and shine, erastus.

You should've stayed home
on your rockin' chair.

Check their saddlebags
for any gold pieces
weighin' them down.

Ah, hold... hold on, boys.
We can't spare none of that.

Is there somethin'
I can do for you boys?

You got it backwards.
Doin' you the favor.

We don't want to cause
you boys no trouble.

Oh, damn.

You got ants in your long Johns?

Rise and shine, erastus.

Looks like we got us
an early start on the day.

Ah, hold... hold on, boys.
We can't spare none of that.

But, uh,

erastus here, he can
make you some real good
biscuits and coffee.

Lettin' you know these parts
ain't safe for 2 old geezers
out on their own.

You should've stayed home
on your rockin' chair.

You got it backwards.
Doin' you the favor.

Lettin' you know these parts
ain't safe for 2 old geezers
out on their own.

Stop that, teaspoon!

And I'm scared.

I'm scared, too.
These fellas look awful mean.

Erastus here, he can
make you some real good
biscuits and coffee.

You old timers
short of some marbles,
ain't you?

We don't want to cause
you boys no trouble.

You got ants in your long Johns?

He's got a nervous itch.

Stop that, teaspoon!

Erastus here, he can
make you some real good
biscuits and coffee.

You old timers
short of some marbles,
ain't you?

We don't want to cause
you boys no trouble.

Nothing like gettin'
the blood runnin'
through the veins

well, hell. You told me
to hide it in the canteen.

I'm scared, too.
These fellas look awful mean.

I knowed we should've
hid that gold better.

Well, hell. You told me
to hide it in the canteen.

Nothing like gettin'
the blood runnin'
through the veins

to start the day.

Hey! Hey, what about us?

Consider yourselves lucky.

Yeah. They could
have lost their temper.

What'd they look like?

Crazy old coots.
Who'd have thought.

Yeah, which way did they go?

They rode off
through there, I think.

What happened?

These 2 guys, they jumped us.

Robbed us, they did.

What'd they look like?

You all right?

What happened?

Hey, hey.

Well, them boys
slowed us up a little,

but I don't think
we'll be late
for the weddin'.

They rode off
through there, I think.

Hey! Hey, what about us?

Still, since they don't
want to pay attention
to me,

I don't think we ought to
make it no easier on 'em.

What in the heck are you doin'?

Yeah. They could
have lost their temper.

Hey, hey.

If we was their age,
we'd do the same thing.

I've been aware of that
for some time.

Still, since they don't
want to pay attention
to me,

but I don't think
we'll be late
for the weddin'.

Still got this itch inside me.

You mean, like
someone's doggin' us?

Yeah.

If we was their age,
we'd do the same thing.

What in the heck are you doin'?

Trust me, erastus,
there is method
in the madness.

I've seen people step in it,
Wade in it and spout in it.

Remind me to thank
teaspoon's horse
for leavin' a trail.

We'll buy him some sugar
when we get back.

I've seen people step in it,
Wade in it and spout in it.

But I'll be damned
if I've ever seen
anybody collect it.

Everybody hold real still now.

Have you ever seen
teaspoon's horse fly?

Nope.

These tracks should lead us

right to the edge of this cliff.

I've seen a horse's ass.
It's about how I feel
right now.

Looks like we'll have to give
that sugar to teaspoon
instead of his horse.

Nope.

I've seen a horse's ass.
It's about how I feel
right now.

Why, the old son of a gun
made it. I'll be damned.

Your time has come,
as it comes for all of us.

Why, the old son of a gun
made it. I'll be damned.

Sorry. Be just a minute.

All right, we'll see you later.

A man asked me to give you this.

Said he'd wait in the belfry.

All right, we'll see you later.

Where are you,
you old cattle rustler?

We come to...

Well, I've heard of cryin'
at weddings, but...

Where are you,
you old cattle rustler?

There's been an accident.

Who's it from?

Me.

He, uh, got a note
to meet someone. And, uh...

Who's it from?

My god. Zach.
What happened?

He, uh, got a note
to meet someone. And, uh...

Zachery Stanton
just got killed.
Odd thing.

Yeah, it's not even safe
to go into church anymore.

No, not that.
Odd for Stanton
to end up dyin' in one.

I wonder
what all the commotion is?

Hey, mister,
something goin' on
inside there?

The alamo was once a church.
Stanton was there.

He was one of the riders
that were sent for help.

No, not that.
Odd for Stanton
to end up dyin' in one.

The alamo was once a church.
Stanton was there.

The alamo?

I don't believe this.

Hey, mister,
something goin' on
inside there?

Horrible accident.

Zachery Stanton
just got killed.
Odd thing.

Teaspoon, why after
all these years would
somebody be comin' after us?

You know what bothers me
the most?

I don't believe this.

Teaspoon, why after
all these years would
somebody be comin' after us?

The alamo?

I didn't even know
there were survivors.

Think teaspoon could have
really been there?

You know what bothers me
the most?

Whoever's behind all this,
whoever's doin' the killin',

got to be one of us.

You know, this is gettin'
stranger and stranger.

The alamo?

Who else would know
who the rest of us was?

Who else couldn't forget?

Think teaspoon could have
really been there?

Not a chance.
He never would have deserted.

Ordinarily, I'd agree 100%.

The simple truth is,
not much any of us
really know about the man.

Got to be one of us.

No, that don't make any sense.

Who else would know
who the rest of us was?

The simple truth is,
not much any of us
really know about the man.

What was that gun I saw of his?

Like I said,
it was just a feelin'.

Buck, I'm over here.

Well, you see,
now it's got you goin'.

It's us doin'
the followin', buck.

Like I said,
it was just a feelin'.

Just a feelin'
that somebody's behind us.

Well, you see,
now it's got you goin'.

Buck, I'm over here.

What is it?

Just a feelin'
that somebody's behind us.

Over there, I had me
some real good times.

There was this, uh...

What's the matter,
don't you recognize me?
It's teaspoon.

Teaspoon hunter.

Hold on a moment.

Either my eyes
are playin' tricks
with me, or

Hi, there.
It's me, all right.

Either my eyes
are playin' tricks
with me, or

I've died and gone to heaven.

Teaspoon hunter.

Delores, don't you remember
all them, uh,

hi, there.
It's me, all right.

Now I understand.
I am Rosa.

Delores is my mother.

Muchos gracias, senores.

And that was 22 years ago.

Well, you know how time is.
It can sort of slip away
from you.

Muchos gracias, senores.

Delores?

I said I'd come back.
Here I am.

Delores, don't you remember
all them, uh,

moments we shared?

Now I understand.
I am Rosa.

You think you can
just show up here
as if nothing happened?

"Back in one week,"
that is what you said.

And that was 22 years ago.

I said I'd come back.
Here I am.

You think you can
just show up here
as if nothing happened?

Absolutely.

Kinda.

That's rode across
half a continent
just to see you?

You came all this way
just to see me.

Absolutely.

How old did you say she was?

21?

Well, you know how time is.
It can sort of slip away
from you.

Now, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Take it easy. Is that anyway
to treat a man

that's rode across
half a continent
just to see you?

Same old teaspoon.

Really missed you.

She has been my constant joy.

How old did you say she was?

Same old teaspoon.

Well, you ain't changed
a whole lot neither.

Oh, you.

Except you used to be
a better liar.

You...

You know, seein' you here
like this

and Rosa over there...

Really missed you.

When did I leave?

You know, seein' you here
like this

and Rosa over there...

That was a long time ago.

Fresh in my mind as yesterday.

Erastus here had nothin'
to do with it.

I'm warnin' you.

You're bluffin'.

Maybe I am.

Ex-Texas ranger.

Not to me.

That was a long time ago.

There will be no shooting here.

Back away, delores.

Boys, meet the Texas ranger
that busted up my old gang.

Ex-Texas ranger.

Maybe I am.

Maybe I ain't.

You wanna find out?

Erastus here had nothin'
to do with it.

I left one battle.
I ain't leavin' this.

There will be no shooting here.

You don't wanna be
doin' this, burkett.

You wanna find out?

Wish you wasn't so popular.

I'm, uh, sorry
about the redecoratin'.

I'd help you clean up
but, uh, erastus and me,

we got business
needs gettin' to.

I ain't gonna make you
no promises this time.

I may not be back for a while.

Delores, uh,

I ain't gonna make you
no promises this time.

I'm, uh, sorry
about the redecoratin'.

Huh, some things never change.

I'd help you clean up
but, uh, erastus and me,

Damn.

I did not expect you today.
I will not expect you manana.

Now, I'm orderin' you
to go home.

I don't want no arguments.
I don't want no questions.

Well, I guess I should
thank you boys for not
listenin' to me before.

And, uh, I'm real impressed
you stayed on our trail.

Oh, you mean
that little trick
back there?

I don't want no arguments.
I don't want no questions.

I just want your promise

that you'll do as I say.

Ok.

Delores, was teaspoon
at the alamo?

He never told you?

Oh, you mean
that little trick
back there?

Didn't fool us for a second.

For a while after that
he did some crazy things.

But it happens,
you know, when...

When something
eats a man from inside.

I can't figure him out.

Me, neither.

I can't figure him out.

Before the last attack,
a few men were sent out
to get more soldiers.

So he went out
for reinforcements?

Lord, yes.

Before the last attack,
a few men were sent out
to get more soldiers.

Delores, was teaspoon
at the alamo?

So he went out
for reinforcements?

And they were not in time.

For a while after that
he did some crazy things.

Bye.

When something
eats a man from inside.

So he's warned me.

And does that have anything
to do with the notches
on that gun of his?

Rosa, my love,
we have much work to do.

So, you're her daughter.

Rosa.

Bye.

I can't believe
we're really goin' back

after all the distance we come.

And does that have anything
to do with the notches
on that gun of his?

That you will have to ask him.

You know, teaspoon,
there were a time

I feared I'd end my life
in a place such as this.

Thank heavens none of us did,

you know, teaspoon,
there were a time

no.

Thank heavens none of us did,

except poor eberly.

Well, maybe he'll be safe.

If we warn him
and the superintendent.

Gone?

You sayin' he's cured?

What an interesting notion.

If we warn him
and the superintendent.

Your friend
is no longer with us.

Gone?

After having been
our distinguished guest
for almost 2 decades,

John eberly was let go

can really say
we are totally well?

After having been
our distinguished guest
for almost 2 decades,

John eberly was let go

about a year and a half back.

Funny you should mention that.

I was just thinkin' about
making a little contribution
to your buildin' fund.

How many of us

can really say
we are totally well?

I'm sorry, there are rules.

This is a state-run institution.

Funny you should mention that.

About a year and a half back.

Be much obliged if you'd
tell us his whereabouts.

I'm sorry, there are rules.

John eberly's
last known address.

Are you sure he's still there?

Now that I see
your grave concern

for these less fortunates...

Are you sure he's still there?

Certain of it.

For these less fortunates...

Now that I see
your grave concern

Certain of it.

Lessen he's dead, too.

Unless he's the killer.

Seems we're just warnin'
dead men.

That was before the killings.

He had a peaceful death.

Lord knows he didn't
enjoy a peaceful life.

That was before the killings.

Seems we're just warnin'
dead men.

Says here by the date,
died almost a year ago.

Unless he's the killer.

Lord knows he didn't
enjoy a peaceful life.

There's one more survivor

watch yourself.

Still don't know
whether we warn him

or shoot him.

You must be out of your minds
tryin' to scare me
with this foolishness.

Now, move off.

Where you been keepin' yourself

I hope this is ewell's place.

Watch yourself.

Still don't know
whether we warn him

or shoot him.

What do you want?

Ewell?

Bad enough I got a bunch of
nosey writers and historians
pokin' around.

They learn I was here,
for me it's over.

What do you want?

They learn I was here,
for me it's over.

Except we're here
to tell you it ain't.

Someone's killin' off
the survivors.

It's teaspoon hunter.
Erastus Hawkins.

Yeah, I see you.

I think we got our man.

Yeah.

Someone's killin' off
the survivors.

If you want to relive
the alamo, why don't you ride
the 5 miles to San antone?

It's the 25th anniversary.

I'm sure you'll find
lots of people there
who'll think you're heroes.

We're the only 3 left.

Where you been keepin' yourself

last few weeks, ewell?

Seems to me your fields
ain't been tended to.

We're the only 3 left.

You could be next.

You must be out of your minds
tryin' to scare me
with this foolishness.

All this way,
end up savin' nobody.

May never even know who he was.

Seems to me your fields
ain't been tended to.

There's been a drought.

Now, I told you,
get off my land.

Who said anything about the law?

We'll be real quiet.
It's the only way we're gonna
learn about what's goin' on.

Yeah.

Except, we don't have
enough evidence for the law.

Who said anything about the law?

All this way,
end up savin' nobody.

May never even know who he was.

Good lord.

What is this?

Redemption?

No.

Damn!

No.

That's the confession.

I'm glad you boys showed up.

Here's the price
of not listenin' to me. Twice.

Come on, we can't
tell nothin' from here.

The dead spirits
don't like to be disturbed.

We'll be real quiet.
It's the only way we're gonna
learn about what's goin' on.

I'm glad you boys showed up.

Come on, we can't
tell nothin' from here.

Damn, erastus,

we've been tryin' to
catch up to the killer.

Instead,
we've been leadin' him
to each one of the victims.

But in this
particular instance,
no sanctity will be violated.

Believe me.

If I'm gonna be a grave
robber, then I deserve to know
why I'm diggin'.

To get to the casket,
of course. Dig.

Here's the price
of not listenin' to me. Twice.

Teaspoon, we shouldn't
be doin' this.

But in this
particular instance,
no sanctity will be violated.

I never thought I'd be back.

Looks deserted.

Empty?

It's all comin' together.

I think I know
where we'll find him, too.

Maybe he's the one
buck's been sensin'
followin' us.

Damn, erastus,

all right,
that's as far as I go.

Old debts.

Now, that does it.

Tell me what the hell
is goin' on here, teaspoon.

Old debts.

I'd never forget it.

There's one thing else
I got to tell you.

No matter what you hear,
no matter what happens,

instead,
we've been leadin' him
to each one of the victims.

2 old fools.

Now, that does it.

Looks deserted.

Probably because everybody's
off at the celebration.

March 2nd.
Texas independence day.

Started carvin 'em
at the end of the war.

So, if ever I was forced
to kill a man again,

I'd never forget it.

Kill so many,
you can't keep count.

That's why there's
these notches on this gun
you're so curious about.

All over now.

That's what
war's all about, Jimmy.

Kill so many,
you can't keep count.

March 2nd.
Texas independence day.

A lot of men died in there.

That's what
war's all about, Jimmy.

Ain't trophies.

Started carvin 'em
at the end of the war.

That's why there's
these notches on this gun
you're so curious about.

Ain't somethin' I'm proud of.

Ain't trophies.

And I mean it.

No matter what you hear,
no matter what happens,

this is for me
and erastus alone.

Know you're here.

Eberly.

Hawkins.

A Mexican Lance.

Eberly!

Erastus!

All good men died that day.

The lives they never had
are the lives
we shouldn't have had.

The sons and daughters
they never had

Hawkins.

The sons and daughters
they never had

are the same sons
and daughters
we shouldn't have had.

It weren't right
we lived and they died.

Teaspoon, there's a candle lit

for each of our fallen friends.

Why, eberly? Why?

And the last 2
are for you and me.

But just 'cause the war ends,
it ain't over.

Just 'cause a man lives
don't mean he didn't die.

And the last 2
are for you and me.

We're good men, eberly.

All good men died that day.

It weren't right
we lived and they died.

Men like you and me
tell 'em how it was.

But just 'cause the war ends,
it ain't over.

All I know is

183 men died here

if we tell it enough,
tell it to anyone
who will listen.

Then maybe, just maybe,

they'll think twice
about doin' it again.

And, eberly,
what I'm thinkin' is,

maybe it weren't just,
but it was right.

Right because
at times like these,
the world needs witnesses.

You really think so?

I don't know.

Right because
at times like these,
the world needs witnesses.

Men like you and me
tell 'em how it was.

'Cause you and I
are gonna join 'em.

Cause we're both gonna go, soon.

First you,

they'll think twice
about doin' it again.

And, eberly,
what I'm thinkin' is,

if we tell it enough,
tell it to anyone
who will listen.

And I don't know anymore
if it was worth it.

They were all good men.

Then me.

They were all good men.

They didn't deserve to die.

Did I get you?

183 men died here

for what they thought
was freedom,

and I don't know anymore
if it was worth it.

But that don't matter now.

'Cause you and I
are gonna join 'em.

I know.
It's ok, it's ok.

Y-You hear that?
You hear that, teaspoon?

I... i got you?

You got me good.

Real good.

Did I get you?

I... i got you?

I'm sorry, teaspoon.
I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to do it.

You stayin'?

Yeah. Till the end.

Y-You hear that?
You hear that, teaspoon?

What?

Colonel Travis,

I know.

He wants us go ride out
and get some help.

I hear him.

Colonel Travis,

he wants 2 riders
to go for help.

I didn't mean to do it.

God made me do it.

I know.
It's ok, it's ok.

John.

I hear him.

We ain't goin'.

Not me. I ain't goin'.

No, we can't go.
We can't go.

We can't leave people here.
That ain't right.

It ain't right.

Yeah. Till the end.

Me, too.

Me, too.

I'm scared, teaspoon.

I'm scared, really.

Not me. I ain't goin'.

Uh-uh.

No, we can't go.
We can't go.

We can't leave people here.
That ain't right.

It ain't right.

You ain't alone.

I'm scared, really.

You ain't alone, eberly.

You ain't alone.

Then there was one.
