Coroner Creek Page #6

Chris. I'm beginning to understand.

Then you see, Kate, why I have to do

it my way now.

Yes I do.

Good luck, Chris.

Well, boys, all I can say is this

has been the most exciting Sunday

that ever happened at Coroner Creek.

Sure was surprising to see the

sheriff put Younger Miles' boys in jail.

Surprising to see him jail anybody.

Have you seen Miles today?

- Nope, but if I was him and Chris

Danning was looking for me, I'd want

to be sleeping in jail with my boys.

Howdy.

- Howdy.

Looks like you been riding hard, Danning.

Not hard enough. Looking for Younger

Miles.. Seen him?

- No I ain't.

Alright, O'Hea, that was

a pretty good show you put on but

you can open up this chicken coop

now and open up the back door.

Ernie, I'm telling you for the last

time, you're staying in there until

you get a fair trial.

Fair trial.

- You heard what I said.

Why, you mangy old crow. Younger

Miles will have something to say about that!

Maybe.

- O'Hea?

What's the idea of locking up

my boys?

You always said you wanted things

done legal. That's just what I'm

doing. Just like I told them

they're staying in there until

they get a trial.

What's come over you, O'Hea?

I made you sheriff,

and I can break you just as easily.

Maybe, but until you do I'm still sheriff.

I'm going to run things around here

according to law.

My idea of the law, not yours.

If you expect me to sit around and

watch you tear down everything

I built up you're crazier that I think.

I worked hard to get where I am,

did everything a man could do.

I lied, cheated, stolen, I've even

killed to build up the set up I've

got now. And I'm not going to let

any man destroy it.

Least of all you.

Dad!

Dad!

Chris, watch out!

Two of Miles men are in here.

Keep down.

Chris, be careful.

I will, you stay down.

Where's Miles?

- I don't know.

Where is he?

I don't know, I tell you!

- Where is he?

In the town hall.

We're going over there.

Look, Danning, I didn't do nothing

to you. Andy was my friend.

Ernie killed him.

Honest, I swear it.

Did you ever get hit with a bullet?

It's like a hunk of iron ripping

and tearing into you.

Sets you all on fire inside.

Sometimes you don't die right away,

you just bleed, and hurt for a

long time.

Go on, open that door.

No, I can't.

I'd be walking right into

Miles' bullets.

Andy got his in the back. Go on!

Don't shoot, Miles, it's me, Stew!

Don't come any closer, Danning.

Now you wouldn't shoot itchy fingers,

would you? He's always done your killing.

I told you not to come any closer.

Miles! Miles!

Miles! Miles!

I've waited 18 months for this.

Why, Danning? Why?

Remember that raid you pulled in

Cons Canyon?

The girl on that stagecoach was on

her way to marry me.

Maybe this will help you to remember.

Pick it up, Miles. Pick it up.

'Vengeance is mine, I will repay.'

Chris!

You were right, Kate, there is

someone bigger than all of us.

Then you found your answer?

- Yes, it's all over.

And the memories?

- They're in the past.

I'm free, Kate. I know now what I

thought was going to be the ending

is only the beginning.

I'm glad.
