but I think Jake Lonergan's in town.

I'm turning you over

to the Federal Marshal.

You're gonna tell me

what I am charged with?

Arson. Assault.

Mayhem. Hijacking.

It says you robbed the stage last month

with Pat Dolan and Bull McCade.

Which makes you

accessory to every law they broke, too.

That it?

Murder.

Prostitute out of Cottonwood Grove,

next county over.

Name of Alice Wills.

You saying I killed this woman?

You tell me.

Damn.

Give me your wrist.

Taggart, what are you doing?

Sheriff.

Sheriff, this is going too far.

I was just fooling around.

Look, I didn't mean to hurt anybody.

Go away.

Listen, I'm sorry, but I had no choice.

I couldn't let you leave.

Well, I'm leaving now.

I need you.

You got something to say, say it.

I need to know where you came from.

So do I.

Ma'am.

You two lovebirds have a nice trip now.

Taggart! Taggart, let me out of here!

Sheriff!

Sheriff!

What are you doing?

You get back home. Go to bed.

Please don't go.

I have to, Emmett. It's my job.

I don't like it here.

Your pa's getting things in order.

When he does he'll send for you.

It's been a year.

Don't worry, he will.

And your mom's buried here.

You know I can't leave my little girl.

- Taggart?

- Yeah, I see them.

Emmett, you go inside. Now.

I want my boy, John.

Pa?

Pa!

I knew you'd come for me, Pa.

Shut up! I'll deal with you later.

Yeah, that's Lonergan, boss.

That's the son of a b*tch

stole my gold off the bullion coach.

I want that man.

You're gonna have to take it up

with the judge in Santa Fe.

I ain't going to Santa Fe.

You give him to me now

or I'm gonna take him.

What about me, Pa?

I said, shut up, boy!

What the hell is that?

What the hell?

Hey!

- They're coming back!

- They're coming around again.

They're coming back! Dismount!

- Get out of the way!

- Maria!

Oh, God!

Don't move! Don't move!

Stay there! Stay right there!

Don't move! I'm coming!

Give me your hand.

- Give me your hand.

- What the hell for?

I can get us free.

Just give me your hand.

Hold still.

Emmett!

Grandpa!

Emmett!

Emmett, it's all right. I got you, son.

- Give me your hand.

- No!

Come on, kid. Give me your hand!

What is that?

Come on, get up, boss.

Come on, we got to get out of here.

Where's Percy?

Come on out of there!

- I can't, Pa.

- You can't? Coward!

He broke my fingers!

Pa!

Pa!

Let's go! We got to go!

This way!

- What is that thing?

- Why are you asking me?

Because you shot it!

With that thing.

Where'd you get that thing?

I don't know.

What do you mean, you don't know?

What the hell is that?

They took my wife.

Hey.

Is anyone in there?

No.

Is my wife in there?

No!

Is it dead?

- Is it demons?

- Demons?

I can't rightly say.

Sure does fit the description, but...

Demons? What are you talking about?

You talking about Bible stuff? Demons?

- I'm not talking about anything.

- What the hell are you talking about?

You got to calm down, Doc.

- Calm down?

- You're scaring the boy.

You're telling me a bunch of demons

took my wife.

- I didn't say any such thing.

- Took our people!

- Get a hold of yourself.

- You're telling me to calm down!

Boss!

Boss!

It went this way.

I don't know what it is, but it's bleeding.

That's the same direction

those machines went with our kin.

We ain't gonna be able to track it

in the dark.

Round up the horses,

get some supplies!

We'll set off at first light!

You.

You're going with us.

I need that weapon. It's the only thing

that counts. And I figure you owe me.

I don't see it that way.

What do you want?

What do you want?

You come clean right now, or I'll kill you.

They took my people, too.

I've been looking for them a long time.

I know you can help me find them.

You stay away from me.

I can help you!

It's heading north.

Its tracks are still fresh.

If it's all the same,

I'd like to ride along, too.

Yes, ma'am.

Got a kid and a dog, why not a woman?

You're back.

What's that?

You have to take it back.

Like hell I will.

That's blood money.

- Well, I goddamned earned it.

- By robbing and killing.

That's gonna get us what we need!

- Jake!

- Stay there!

Jake!

Well, well, well.

Look who's back.

I see you, but I don't see my gold.

Let's say we find those people first,

and then you can take your best shot

at collecting.

Maybe that reward on your head

would be a more attractive proposition.

Or I could just shoot you in the chest

and cut that thing off your arm.

You know, Doc,

I don't even know why we're doing this.

You know they're all dead.

Well, I think if they wanted to kill them,

I think they would have.

Only if the boss is right

and they was roping them.

Bet it's to eat them.

If it was me, I'd start with your wife.

You gonna be like this the whole trip?

'Cause if you are,

we ain't gonna have

too many long conversations, are we?

Why don't you sing a song

or something?

Cook some beans.

Do something useful.

Take some friendly advice?

Get yourself a gun

and learn how to use it.

The tracks are washed away.

I don't know much about boats,

but I'd say that one's upside-down.

We're 500 miles from any river

big enough to hold it.

Well, let's get inside, get out of the rain!

I'm not going anywhere near that thing.

Suit yourself. Sleep in the rain.

You fixin' to say something?

Maybe...

Maybe we should have

called in the Army?

I ain't gonna turn this over

to no West Pointers

who got to get on the telegraph to ask

Washington which hand to wipe with.

I waited around at Antietam

for 'em to tell me what to do.

And lost 328 men

over a cornfield.

I remember those stories.

I don't recollect telling you any stories.

I'd listen when you'd tell them to Percy.

You get this through

your thick Indian skull.

Them stories weren't for you.

They were for my son.

Get out of here.

Go look after the horses. Do your job.

You've been looking at this knife.

You like this knife?

You look after that.

Don't lose it.

Don't yank on it, it's not your pecker.

Now, here.

You're holding onto this thing

like you're hanging from it.

What the hell am I doing?

It's my fault she got took.

I never should have

taken her to that town.

No, no, no. Not your fault.

You'll get her back.

You're setting things right.

Just got to have faith. That's all.

Faith. Yeah.

God's been real swell to me.

I don't mean no disrespect, preacher,

but either he ain't up there,

or he don't like me very much.

Surely you don't expect the Lord

to do everything for you, do you, Doc?

You got to earn his presence.

Then you got to recognize it,

and then you have to act on it.

Now, keep your eye on the target.

And shoot.

That's better. Better.

Come on. Let's reload.

You been there long?

Yes.

There something you need?

Who is she?

She's the only one who knows who I am.

No, you know who you are.

- You just have to remember.

- Well, I can't.

Yes, you can.

Does it hurt?

It's fine.

It's here.
