should help. You know that.

What should we do?

I want moms grave.

We do.

We do.

If you came to arrest me,

Now you had already shot.

I think that I was hoping you

you and your brother had forgotten.

I have no hope.

For a long time anymore.

I was hoping you

busy.

I hear that you are the

who is busy.

How's your brother?

He's dead.

Shot in cold blood.

Why I doubt now?

Who makes me happy?

A man named William Drayton.

Is that so?

As you may have one bitter

feeling left over.

Marshall, you start to irritate me.

I have things to do.

Your face is on wanted posters

from here to San Fancisco.

Whatever you do come here,

that can not erase.

I think not.

Good day, marshal.

Have you found who you're looking for?

Yes, this is the father of Elizabeth,

William Drayton.

Pleasant, madam.

You may call me Will.

I have a couple of rooms as

what you want to refresh.

Then we finished eating.

And this is my newest occupant,

Hunter.

Daddy, I'm going to wash, okay?

That's what I do.

That sounds good.

Will Hunter is the only

survivor of Saddle Mountain.

You're a brave boy.

We'll see you later at dinner.

Thank you.

Excuse me,

I have some towels for you.

Does not matter.

Thank you.

And thanks for the room.

I can pay for it.

Need not, Mr. Drayton.

My name is Will.

I must warn you. He is strong.

Even this morning.

Be warned.

Sorry, he's really strong. I know.

- No, it's nice.

I put a new pot.

- No, it's a good thing.

Justin, what did I tell you

about that gun?

Go feed the animals

before dark. Now.

I'm sorry.

Would you murder me sometimes, woman?

Excuse me, sir.

- Hey, banker guest.

I'm late for a meeting, sir.

- You owe me a fight.

What did you say?

Two years ago, probably me

in two shot with a shotgun.

It's time for revenge.

I am not what you'd call

a gunfighter. I'm unarmed.

I challenge you to a duel.

How it works.

We are back to back,

We put every ten steps,

turn around and shoot.

Go.

One, two, three, four ...

five, six, seven, eight, nine ...

You're lucky but, banker,

that we are on the same side.

Remember,

I can, at any time, shoot.

Come inside.

Honey, that you can discard.

I'm here

and I'm not going anywhere.

I know.

I was reading about Mom.

We go to her house.

- I'm ready.

I do not know ...

It's okay, Daddy.

You have nothing to say.

I wish Travis was here. He was

always been better at this sort of thing.

In this regard, we have

been more than patient.

Tom, what's the problem?

Check it out.

William Drayton if this is not.

Did I not tell you

had to find another job?

That's what I did.

Same train, different track.

Apparently we have a reunion.

- Yes, it is long ago.

We know you?

I remember seeing a couple of years

ago, you have helped you in battle.

Maybe that was wrong.

Your memory is better than mine,

but I drink a lot.

In any case, you have these people

tell them to leave.

They have no idea

what's coming.

Tom, what do you do?

I think we should do what

good for these people ...

and admit

these bastards.

You pulled rather slowly.

- Did I?

That was your last chance.

I remember you were pretty quickly

with that weapon.

Is also delayed by the drink?

- There you'll find only one way back.

The men are back in Scarsdale.

You have to collect the children.

I must go to Tom.

Why do you use the shotgun?

You have one shot and what do you

do next? Throw it to him?

I can shoot with two

a shot. What can I do with that?

Six, one for each bullet.

I try to keep you alive.

I have no use for a dead deputy.

Tom, I know I do this

not to say.

But collect as many weapons

and ammo if you can find.

Remove the people from the street.

You take this side,

I the other.

And Tom ...

let me begin.

Do not use them unless

you can not otherwise.

How do I know when this happens?

- That you know.

Until you firing the first shot,

they will not know you're here.

Remember what I taught you?

- Yes.

Whatever happens,

do not let them come out.

Apparently they become smart.

Where do you think you're going?

They're going to need me.

They are all of us need.

No, Mr. Drayton gave you those weapons

to defend the fort.

This is the fort.

You stay here.

How is it that when I

you work together, I is full of holes?

I go to the cabin.

I need to see how

with Elizabeth.

Are you sure it

William Drayton was?

Most definitely.

The same William Drayton

two, three years ago?

That's what they say.

We regroup

and still fall once.

The train the day after.

All they did was some time

and bought a lot of problems.

Okay, listen all.

I have $ 3,000 cash ...

for those I Will Drayton's

shooting finger brings.

$ 3,000.

I want you to tell me everything

what you know about that William Drayton.

Drayton is mine.

I give you the finger or

when I'm done.

I received a message

you wanted to see me. Is that correct?

I want to make clear, Marshall.

I reject the methods of Mr. Scarsdale

not good.

Is that so?

Yes, it is.

I've heard that Will Drayton

is back.

That's right.

I've also heard that he was not

on your side.

That's right.

There like you do not really

concerned about.

Will Drayton is a man.

We collect an army.

Tether, You have too much confidence ...

that suggest that peasants

You've put together for.

Gentlemen, your drinks.

Thank you.

Why do not you step on your horse

and do not you get out of this town?

That train is coming.

I want to finish.

That is honorable.

Something honorable ...

You do not for a long time.

Kyle, how are

my deputy?

He was twice in the chest

hit, sheriff.

He's dead.

Never thought that the West

still wild.

This is a war ...

to decent,

hardworking people ...

by Horace Scarsdale.

A few years ago I had

the feeling that I would see him.

I'm just glad your mom

not here to see this.

I'm afraid we men

will still look back.

I know.

They come back.

And more.

Then we can not stop.

- What will we do?

We fight.

We do more than that.

We attack.

- Attacks? With what?

With everything we have.

That's the last thing they expect.

You have no ammo

for the gun?

Yes, and I'm almost through

my .45 back.

Will, I do not much ammunition.

- No problem.

I can use Vetterli,

I suppose.

It uses a weird caliber

and it takes one day to make to come.

.41? I think I still

two boxes from me.

That's about 100 bullets.

It's worth the trip.

Most men of Scarsdale

are farmers.

Not many of them have

slain for their livelihood.

Wade and that arrogant Chancellor ...

do not follow them.

Leave them to me.

Five or six years ago ...

I helped some miners buried

who had died looking for gold.

The dynamite they used,

is still in the mine.

About 50 to 60 each.

Quite old.

Dangerous.

So, less than 100 bullets ...

Maybe 50 bars of what is now

Pure nitroglycerin is probably ...

And fear.

Scarsdale's men will not now

so much more to William Drayton record.

I doubt it.

May I ask why you're so happy?

Christopher Forbes

Christopher "Kip" Forbes () is vice chairman of the Forbes Publishing company. He attended St. Mark's School in Southborough, Massachusetts, and Princeton University. His brother is Steve Forbes, who has made multiple runs for the U.S. presidency and written some in-depth political and economic narratives. Always interested in art and collecting, he worked with his father Malcolm Forbes restoring the Château de Balleroy in Normandy, France, and Old Battersea House in London, England. Mr. Forbes has written numerous books and catalogues about art and collecting, including Fabergé: The Forbes Collection, co-authored with Robyn Tromeur and published by Hugh Lauter Levin. On December 5, 1985, Kip Forbes paid the highest price ever recorded for a single bottle of wine. Hardy Rodenstock (Meinhard Görke) put one of the 'recently discovered' "Th. J." (Thomas Jefferson) bottles up for auction at Christie's in London: a bottle of 1787 Château Lafite engraved "1787 Lafitte Th. J.". The bottles had been found in a walled-up old cellar, and were engraved with vintage years from the late eighteenth century. This had in itself been an interesting find for a collector of old wines, but the bottles also were engraved with the initials, "Th. J.", which was taken as an indication that they had belonged to Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was an active oenophile and wine collector, who spent much time in France during the 1780s and whose interest in wine is well documented. The auction catalogue simply listed the value as "inestimable", and it was sold for 105,000 pound sterling, which as of 2007, still remains the worldwide auction record for a single bottle of wine. Christopher Forbes was bidding against Marvin Shanken of Wine Spectator Magazine, with Michael Broadbent handling the gavel at the auction. Rodenstock is currently in court charged with perpetrating large-scale wine fraud. It is alleged that the Thomas Jefferson bottles are fake and multiple experts and various pieces of evidence apparently support this conclusion. Rodenstock has refused to allow the German magazine Stern to have the wine's veracity tested at its expense. A book, The Billionaire's Vinegar, has been published about the affair, although it has been withdrawn from the UK market following legal action by Michael Broadbent. The film rights to both the book and a New Yorker article about the scandal have been purchased. more…
