Come on... can't you get up, you drunk?

Hey.

UGH! Easy, Mister!

She's just the town drunk!

Help her up.

Pick up them groceries.

Now apologize. Sorry, ma'am.

Sorry.

Get.

Howdy do, Frank.

I haven't seen you in a coon's age.

Been out on the trail, have you?

Runnin' down those,

uh, cattle rustlers and murderers?

I guess you'll be gettin' a

room over at the Billards?

Uh, we had some trouble yonder,

a few months back.

Huh. Bad bunch of boys come through here

and raped a woman, killed her whole family.

Husband and kids, Frank.

It was an awful mess.

I, I wish you woulda been here.

So, how long you planning

on staying this time?

How much?

Let's see... that'd be, uh, 26.

Always feel safer when

you're in town, Frank.

Well, I'll be. If it ain't Frank Allison.

How are you, Frank?

Suppose you'll be needing a room?

Same as usual?

Corner room upstairs, around the back?

Yeah.

Your money's always good here, Frank.

You stay as long as you like!

Town always feels safer when you're here, Frank.

Good talkin' to ya, Frank!

I can't help you none, Frank.

I haven't seen half of these men before.

Haven't even heard of 'em.

You'd think they'd know better than to come

lookin' to trouble this town, though, huh?

Whoa... hold on a second.

I know this son of a b*tch.

That's Lee Horn.

He come through here a couple

months ago with his gang.

Killed a whole family

on the outside of town.

Raped the wife, left her for dead.

She's still alive?

Yeah. She's in a real bad way now, though.

Got drunk all the time. Understandably so.

What she look like?

She looks like a drunk, I reckon.

She still lives on the outskirts of town.

She comes into town maybe twice a week,

Pick up her hooch, mind her own business.

She don't bother nobody.

I was to help her husband

that day on the house.

And, uh... my wife was sick, on account

of being pregnant and all. So I didn't go.

When I went the next day...

I found her. Lord, what a mess.

She said Lee Horn come and

murdered her whole family.

Frank!

You're welcome to stay

as long as you like.

Always feel safer when you're here.

What is it?

Saw a movement in these rocks.

I don't see nothin'.

What you all lookin' at?

Lee saw movement,

over near the rocks.

Hold it right there, Lee. You and

your boys are under arrest.

Let's take this nice and easy.

What seems to be the problem, Deputy?

Plenty.

Your latest transgressions were robbing

those banks down in Benson and Douglas.

But worst of all was the murder

of Will Stevens and his boys.

"Most recent transgressions".

Those are big words, boys.

Means this man's educated.

Makes him even more dangerous.

Let's not have no shootin' there,

Lee. Enough people been killed.

Indeed, why would there be more

shooting? We don't want any trouble, sir.

No!

You want us to grab their ammo?

Interesting what he said.

What?

He mentioned Will Stevens and the boys.

Didn't say anything about the wife.

You did do what I told you to?

I told him to, Lee! He wouldn't do it.

Hell, he didn't even have his

time with her, like the rest of us.

Is that so?

Wasn't no need to kill her.

We were there for the Sheriff.

You never said nothing about

him having no wife and kids!

And what difference does that make?

THEY WERE CHILDREN, LEE.

Well now, come on now, boss.

It don't matter none if we,

if we didn't kill her. Right?

Yeah, it does, you idiot. She's a witness!

How the hell do you think that deputy

knew about it in the first place?

We go to Mexico. What

difference does it make?

Yeah, we best get going, boss.

Do anything like that again, and I'll kill you.

Boss, that's not the way to Mexico.

We're not going to Mexico.

We're going back to Bisbee.

Sh*t!

Who's that?

That there is Frank Allison.

Best bounty hunter in the West.

Hey.

Can I get you anything, Frank?

Samuel got any of that stew?

Sure does. I'll tell him to get you

a bowl. Anything else you want?

Excuse me, ma'am. I didn't see you there.

Howdy, Selina. Suppose

you'll be wanting your usual?

Her "usual" being the whiskey?

Frank, she's hurtin'.

Well, keeping her liquored up all

the time isn't gonna help her.

It's what she wants, Frank!

Bring her some soup.

Sit.

You should get yourself cleaned up.

You're the lady whose

family was murdered.

I may be looking for these men.

That's what I was gonna talk

to you about.

But here you are talkin' to me.

I have some pictures.

You can look at 'em if you want.

Tell me if it's the same men.

Can you tell me how many there were?

Five. There was five of them.

Everything okay here?

There's your soup, Selina.

Gonna get cold.

You're not a lawman.

You're a bounty hunter.

I want you to teach me how to shoot.

Pardon?

Teach me how to shoot.

No.

Why? Why not?

You wanna protect yourself, wear one of

them garters on your leg under your skirt.

Keep a small blade in it.

For me and the lady.

Wait! Why won't you teach me to shoot?!

Wait! Selina, don't bother the man.

Why won't you teach me to shoot?

You leave him be!

Go back and sit. Get something

to eat besides whiskey.

Like Mr. Allison said.

How many you want?

I'll take two, Sheriff.

I'll take two, also.

And weep. Henry, how many you want?

I'll take two.

Frank?

Oh yeah. Guess what, Frank.

I don't want any either.

Here. Check.

Check.

Uh... how's that look?

Looks good to me, 40.

Frank's probably gonna bump it up.

Just callin', huh? Alright, I'll call.

I got nothin'.

He's got nothin'. Henry?

Three jacks.

Well, I got you beat.

I gotta straight.

What do you got, Frank?

Flush.

Again? Come on.

Jeez!

That Frank is a poker ace,

that is for sure.

Hey... you, ah, you hungry, Selina?

No.

That's it for me, fellas. I'm out.

Take care. Good playin' with you.

Alright.

Not much fun, just the four of us.

I can play.

You know how?

Well enough.

You got money?

Looks good to me.

Frank, you alright with the lady playin'?

Queens.

Well, I got you beat, Frank,

'cause I got three jacks.

Two tens for me.

Got you all beat with a straight.

That's it for me, fellas.

The lady has broken me.

It's gettin' late.

Better be headin' home.

Alright. Back to work for me.

Fellas... ma'am. See ya later, Frank.

So long, Selina.

I cleaned up.

What'd you say?

I cleaned up.

Good.

You gonna teach me to shoot?

I can pay you.

Give you back all this money

you lost today.

I don't need your money.

Besides, what do you wanna learn how

to shoot for?

Please... Frank, please teach me how to shoot.

Well, I'm supposed to ride out in the morning, but...

Suppose I could stop by for a bit.

Sheriff says you live on the outskirts of town?

Yes. About a mile west.

Stevens place. You can't miss it.

Thank you, Frank.

You came.

Said I would.

I did what you told me.

That's good.

Am I gonna teach you or not?

Come in. Please.

Haven't kept the place as clean

as I should've past few months.

That's your husband?

Yes.

Will Stevens, right?

You knew him?

Knew of him.

Lawman out of Texas.
