- Janson...

- Hey, look, kid.

Then your old man fires all the people...

... then brings in teams of lawyers

and private investigators...

... to ruin everybody's lives.

Trust me,

I know from firsthand experience.

- That's what your old man does.

- We have to go now!

- Janson, l...

- Do you do that, Dad?

Yes. Yes.

That's what I do.

Go, go, go!

Theresa and Leo check the grounds.

I go after the Bronco.

- Through the mountains.

- Bronco doesn't matter.

It matters to Theresa.

That guy killed her grandfather.

Just don't get hurt.

Hey...

What?

Verdugo.

Crap.

Se or Wills?

This. This is unacceptable.

Are you with the FBI?

No, no. I'm here to escort you to them.

You are safe now.

You are in safe hands.

All right, before they beat you,

I know you had it in you, okay?

Now, you show me. Come on! Let's go!

Hey.

- Lost a lot of blood there, Little Joe.

- You okay, kid?

Hey, Sam.

You find Wills?

Verdugo came and turned him over

to the FBI like a good Samaritan.

Okay, so, what does that mean for us?

It means we're broke.

I got to admit, though.

Seeing that a**hole tits up,

that was worth a million bucks, right?

Unfortunately, it doesn't bring

my grandfather back, does it?

I can't... I just can't catch a break

with this broad, can I?

Try keeping your mouth shut.

Hey, hey. Wait! Wait!

Wait a minute.

I didn't come all this way

to die of exhaustion, okay?

Give me five minutes, okay?

Well, I guess

this is as good a place as any.

Hey, get out of my stuff.

- Sit down!

- What? Hey!

What are you doing? What...?

Oh, come on, guys.

Put those down. Come on.

Is this the backup?

The backup flash drive, this is?

That's it. That's all we need.

Come on. Let's get going.

I don't have to... I don't have to sit.

Hey, what are you, insane?

What's the matter...?

- Sit down, you pathetic...

- Wait, wait.

- Okay.

- You were right.

- Oh, wait.

- I underestimated myself.

Oh, come on.

Why didn't I see this?

Stop talking.

Please tell my mother...

That's them.

I saw them meet-up at the canyon.

It was just too dark to bring them down.

Only an Indian

could guide them through.

They must have some plan of getting

picked up or transported from there.

Unless we can get him before sunrise.

We have maybe four hours before dawn.

After that, they're gone.

No, what? What?

What are you guys talking about?

No, no, no. The guy that killed

your grandfather is already dead, okay?

We're... I'm not gonna get my money back.

We have no shot at the reward money.

Wills is back with his family.

Our job is done here.

Do you see anybody else out here

that's gonna go after him, Leo?

What's that got to do with anything,

Sam?

- I'm a cop. I don't get to walk away.

- You're not a cop. You got suspended.

I'm not asking you to go.

Stay with the kid.

- Fine.

- I told you I'm fine. I can go.

Oh, that's just great.

Now, you're gonna get the kid killed too.

You know, just when I was starting

to like your dumb ass.

No, I'm not letting you take him

with you.

His leg, it's about to fall off.

What are you gonna do? Carry him?

- Jeez, Leo, shut up!

- No, I won't shut up!

It's crazy, Sam!

- You know what, Sam?

- What?

It baffles me that you're not capable

of walking away from being a cop...

...yet you're completely fine

with walking out on me...

...and your little sister.

- So that's what this is all about, Leo?

- You left us alone with him.

You have absolutely no idea

how bad it got when you were gone.

Now, now, Nina, you know her.

She probably forgave you by now...

...but me?

You were the one

that was taking care of us, not him!

I expected nothing from him, but you?

You know the funny thing?

Eventually, he sobered up.

You never came back, Sam.

It's crazy how much you resent the guy

because...

...you're just like him, Sam!

Hey!

Come on.

I got you last!

What are you gonna do, huh? Do it!

Do it!

Come on!

I was 17 years old.

If I'd have stayed, I'd have killed him.

Sorry.

Marcus Canton.

We're going to have to move faster.

- How's the leg, kid?

- It's good enough.

It will be difficult for the horses

the rest of the way in the canyons.

- You think they're looking for him?

- I don't know. It's not military.

Maybe that's his way out.

Head down in case he doubles back.

They won't be able to land

at the bottom of the canyons.

- They're gonna pull him out.

- Right.

- You okay?

- I'm fine. Go.

Morning.

What brings you

to this neck of the woods?

You're under arrest.

Never walk out on family, Sam.

You're absolutely right.

Nice going. What is it? Horse?

No, it's Hoss.

- And I'm not Hoss.

- I can't be Hoss, I'm the oldest.

By process of elimination, you're Hoss.

Fine, if only by process of elimination,

then I can live with that.

- Are you sure there's nothing we can do?

- Yeah, I mean, the FBI...

...they said that we're good

for at least $250,000 of the reward money.

And in my opinion,

I think you more than earned your share.

That's 25 percent.

I mean, I'm assuming

that's okay with you guys.

- Absolutely.

- Seems fair.

- Yeah.

- No, please, I'm fine.

Come on.

All right, come here.

- Careful.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry,

I know it's been a couple of days.

All right, take care.

- Thank you.

- Get her, cowboy.

Take care.

I'll miss you.

I'd like to come back to visit

if that's okay.

Leo is gonna lend me his Spanish tapes,

he says.

I think I'd like that very much.

Take care.

Bye.

Oh, it was amazing. And this guy,

he's probably going back there.

- Shut up.

- There was a special girl I might go see.

I can't believe we made it through alive.

- Without him, I don't think we would have.

- Yeah.

I wasn't there but you were...

You, walking in...

...and you noticed the cliff.

- Yeah.

Let's go, let's go.

You're going down there.

Yeah.

I wish you could've seen him.

You gotta give me those tapes.

There is no money.

There never was.

It was the only way

to bring you all together.

Daddy really was a changed man.

It was his final wish

to bring you all together.

That much was true.

There was no other way. I'm sorry.

You lied?

You never told a lie in your entire life.

I mean, me, I lie all the time, and Sam...

...he's a huge liar.

Then Douglas, the kid's a thief.

But you?

I believed you, Nina.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I will go to confession.

Oh, yeah. "Okay, I'll go to confession.

It's all fine now." Are you kidding me?

- What are you gonna do about us?

- Leo, I'm sorry you're angry.

But the real question is...

...does the end justify the means?

I mean, look at you all.

What about

a private investigation agency?

I don't follow.

I'm a cop. Leo, bail bondsman.

We know criminals.

- The kid is a criminal.

- No. Absolutely not.

No, I'm not bringing you together

so you can get killed.

Wait a second.

Are you actually suggesting...

...that we still go into business together

anyway?

If you're gonna do something,

you might as well be good at it.
