Chisum Page #7

between love and infatuation.

What about Pat Garrett?

Pat Garrett hasn't talked so much

since Sunday School recitation.

I better get you in.

Johnny!

The rest of you take the horses

around the side, and leave ours here.

Who's there?

Who is it? Who's down there?

It's me, Mr. McSween.

Billy?

What are you doing now,

stealing from your friends?

No, sir. Not exactly.

We just need the loan of a little dynamite.

- Dynamite?

- Yeah.

- Don't you think you've done enough?

- No, sir.

But I'm going to.

Bonney.

Billy, listen to me.

I've written a letter to the President.

There will be an investigation.

This whole thing is a travesty.

I promise you...

I don't know what travesty means,

but I made a promise, too.

Evans.

- What do you want?

- Get up!

Come on, get up!

Alex, is everything all right? I heard...

Billy.

Honey, everything is all right.

You go on back upstairs.

It's okay, ma'am.

We just need some supplies.

At this hour?

Sue, go back upstairs.

Get inside!

There's a mess of 'em out there.

Hold your fire!

Bonney, can you hear me?

Sheriff Nodeen!

Good morning, Sheriff!

No, it ain't, Bonney. Not for you.

There are 100 guns out here.

Hey, Nodeen,

the McSweens have got no part of this.

They ain't done nothing,

so let 'em come out!

Anybody that comes out of there

while it's still dark...

gets cut in half!

You ain't got no place to go, Bonney.

What do we do, Billy?

Pile something up against the windows.

Nothing else we can do right now.

Nothing's gonna happen till daylight.

Bonney!

Sheriff Nodeen again!

Time's up!

He's mad.

Must not have had any breakfast.

You know what's gonna happen to you

if you don't surrender!

I know what'll happen if I do!

I'll get a bullet in the back

trying to escape!

Here's what you're gonna get

if you stay in there!

Damn place is built like a fort.

What'll it be, Bonney?

Billy, we've got to get Sue out of here.

Sheriff, this is McSween.

Is Lawrence Murphy out there?

I'm here.

Lawrence, let my wife come out.

Then we can talk.

I give you my word, there'll be no tricks.

All right, Alex.

She can come out.

It'll look better this way, Sheriff.

We don't want any women getting killed.

No, Alex.

Not unless you come, too.

I want to speak on behalf of these men,

then I'll be right out.

You go on ahead, Sue.

All right, she's coming out!

Lawrence?

Will you send word to Fort Stanton

and let these men surrender to the Army?

Look, Mr. McSween...

you're not talking for us.

I'm trying to help you...

to keep you alive.

The Army has no jurisdiction here.

This is a civil matter...

and if anyone surrenders, it's to me.

Better get out of here...

'cause I ain't ever gonna surrender

to Nodeen.

- Billy!

- Go out there with your wife.

Sheriff...

I'm unarmed, and I'm coming out alone!

No, you ain't! Not alone.

Not till everybody

throws down their guns...

and you all come out together...

with Bonney in the lead!

Them's my terms.

Sheriff, my husband's done nothing wrong.

Your husband is harboring a killer.

- Mr. Murphy...

- I'm sorry. I can't interfere with the law.

- What about it, Bonney?

- I'm not coming out, Nodeen.

- Please!

- Get out of here before you get hurt.

Mr. McSween, it's your wife.

She's going for Chisum!

Exactly, we'll fight him

on our own ground.

Get some men by the river

in case they come in that way...

and throw a barricade across that street.

We're running short of lead.

Mr. McSween.

All right.

Here's the key to the room.

Upstairs!

Women and children off the street!

Hold it!

- Damn it! Where are you going?

- Going to warn the noon stage.

Noon stage, my...

There's enough ammunition there

to fight a war.

That's what we're doing.

Mr. Chisum!

You have to get Alex.

They're gonna kill him.

Murphy and Nodeen's men

have the store surrounded.

Billy's in there.

- Please, Mr. Chisum.

- Take care of her, Sallie.

- What're you gonna do?

- What I'd have done 25 years ago.

Pat, get the men out of South Camp.

Trace, you round up everybody

that can ride a horse or pull a trigger.

- Let's break out some Winchesters.

- You bet.

Come on, hurry up.

It's my arm.

Give up, Billy.

We're ready for him now.

Billy, they've got the street blocked off!

It ain't to keep us in.

- It's to keep somebody out.

- Chisum.

We'll be slaughtered.

- I'm going out there and talk to Murphy.

- No! Don't do it, Mr. McSween!

Don't go out there!

Sheriff, Murphy...

hold your fire!

I've got to talk to you...

and I'm coming out alone.

Don't, Mr. McSween!

You heard my terms!

Get some torches!

I'll burn the son of a b*tch out.

Seor Chisum, they built a barricade.

We could go around

and come in from behind.

We'd have to cross that river.

We'd be sitting ducks.

Then what do we do, Mr. Chisum?

We do exactly what we started out to do,

Mr. Pepper.

It's Chisum!

Let's pour it in him.

To hell with this.

You wanted him on your own ground.

You got him.

- Good to see you, Big Casino.

- Yeah.

Cover me, Pat.

Billy.

Ain't like old times...

Billy.

Can you make it?

What? Where's...

Where are you going?

I resign.

No more paydays around here.

I know.

It's my fault.

You were the primer, Billy...

but I guess, sooner or later,

the lid had to blow off.

Sheriff left town.

He won't be hard to follow.

- So long, Mr. Chisum.

- Let it go, Billy.

That smell of death.

Remember?

Be seeing you, Big Casino.

Are you coming?

"General Lew Wallace takes oath

as new governor of territory.

"Garrett appointed

Sheriff of Lincoln County.

"Governor declares A-M..."

Amnesty.

Yeah.

Do that mean the war is over?

- It do.

- I hope so.

I wouldn't be too sure.

There's an old saying, Miss Sallie:

"There's no law west of Dodge,

and no God west of the Pecos."

Right, Mr. Chisum?

Wrong, Mr. Pepper.

'Cause no matter where people go,

sooner or later, there's the law.

And, sooner or later,

they find that God's already been there.

Now, where's he going?

Don't worry. He'll be back.

I better get going.

Got some things in Lincoln to take care of.

Lincoln can take care of itself

until after the dishes are done.

- Doesn't this badge give me any authority?

- Not in this house.
