You know, I think you

should get the f***

out of my house.

You're not only

magnificent,

you are very,

very persuasive.

COCHRANE:
Hello, John.

I missed ya

at the ranch.

It's a little nicer

than your other place,

but that shack

had its charms.

To be honest with ya,

I miss it.

I'm sure you do.

You know, I had a nice,

little garden there.

That was a garden?

You have to be

gentle with a garden.

Did I tell you

I nearly got hold of you up

in Medicine Hat

a year ago?

That would have been

real nice to catch up.

Alice is a very

impressive woman.

Very.

John.

They made me a marshal.

How's it feel?

It's interesting.

The reward

is dead or alive,

but I get a $500 bonus

if I bring you in alive.

You give me your word

that you won't run,

I'll give you

a little time.

I appreciate it.

I hear tell there's

an establishment

up at Great Falls.

Madam Kara's?

Madam Kara's.

Now would that still be

open for business?

Excellent.

Excellent.

Two days from now, huh?

A fork in the road

just outside the town

at dusk.

You come alone.

I know I don't need

to mention this,

but if you did decide

not to appear,

I would kill everyone.

Absolutely everyone.

Trouble?

Just a man lookin' for

a quiet place to retire.

He could do a f***

of a lot better than

Promise, Wyoming.

Eh, I dunno.

I might have

some word on one of

the masked a**holes

that done in Dad.

Pretty good, huh?

It's great.

Oh, you're late.

ALICE:

What's that, Rudd?

Me and the Dixie Boys

were on our way to

pick up them new hogs.

Then we came upon them.

They're all dead.

You sure?

Undertaker has them

at the church.

Let's go take a look.

It doesn't make

a whole lot of sense.

They all had

masks on 'em.

And two of 'em swore

up and down they were

the ones who done it.

These are Cochrane's boys.

What are they doing

robbin' the Express?

The money?

I don't see Cochrane.

No?

No.

I killed 'em all

pretty near.

Pretty near

might not do it.

JOHN:
Pour the Kentucky's

finest. Yes.

ALICE:
No.

Good job!

Did Mason tell you about

the plan that he had

to catch the outlaws?

Before you killed them,

I mean.

Mason wanted to use

the rail workers' money

as a lure,

flush 'em out.

Well, John and I

do know a little bit

about outlawin'.

That was a long time ago.

BEN:
You did

some outlawin'?

Oh, we did some.

And then

we did some more.

Yeah, I think maybe

you should slow down.

I think I would like

to hear about this.

JOHN:
Like I said,

that was a long time ago.

It wasn't that

long ago, John.

And you're my sister,

not my mother.

Oh, there,

you happy now?

Hey. Come on in.

You ready?

Yeah.

Good morning, Sheriff.

Alice.

Where you off to?

Sheriff said they caught

someone with one of those

masks in the other county.

It's only a 10 minute

ride from here.

You think them ones

Rudd handled

ain't all of 'em?

It can't hurt to ask,

get some more facts.

Let's go.

Where they goin'?

Sheriff said they found one

who had a mask on him.

Still alive.

Come on, let's go!

Where are you

taking me?

Promise, eventually.

I ain't done nothin'.

Get up, get up!

You sure about that, huh?

Yeah.

JOHN:
What's this?

F*** you.

Sheriff, mind giving me

a minute here?

I'll be around

the corner.

Don't leave me here

with him!

You killed my father.

Who was in on it, huh?

It wasn't personal.

Who?

Who was in on it?

It was...

What the f***?

He was going for

your other gun, John.

Rudd!

I swear, Sheriff.

He was going for

Mason's other gun.

F***!

He's got

the double X brand.

This man look

familiar to you?

Huh?

He looks like a cowhand

that maybe we had

a couple months back,

but, I mean, John,

they come and go!

You doing okay?

I'm okay.

Okay.

I don't think

we should keep

doing this.

I agree.

It's very irresponsible.

What are you thinkin'?

I don't think Rudd

got the right guys.

BEN:
What are we

lookin' for?

Fresh graves.

Shouldn't we get

permission first?

Or some assistance?

Hey!

Here! Here!

You take the upside.

That's one.

You know, Dad talked

a lot about you.

Did he?

Yeah.

He said you were workin'

in Texas as a marshal?

Ranger.

What?

Nothing.

Well, Dad says...

Well, he said that

you could shoot

the button off

a man's coat

at 100 yards.

Well, he was prone

to exaggeration.

Yeah, I suppose he was.

Oh!

I think

I just hit one of 'em.

They dig some

shallow graves

around here.

No brands.

Not a one.

If it wasn't these ones

who did it, who was it?

We gotta put 'em back.

Great.

ALICE:
That was

the last extension.

There's still time.

They're coming to take

possession in a week.

Telegram says that

we can pay upon arrival.

Sure, Rudd,

how are we gonna get

$5,000 in a week?

I'll figure it out.

Thirty years I've been

savin' myself for you,

pretty lady...

That was good!

...and I love you.

And I want you to make

babies with me.

Hey!

RUDD:
John Mason!

McClure here is tryin'

to figure out a way

to ask my little sister

to marry him.

What do you think

about that?

I mean,

there's always room

on the bride's side

if you wanna

give her away.

She's been givin'

a little bit away,

my sister.

Hasn't she?

What are you

talkin' about?

I come in peace.

Are you takin' over

for Dad?

Nah.

I'm just straightening up

a few things.

I'm leaving care of

the Express to McClure.

Oh.

John, I'm...

Hey, I know.

You really gonna

turn yourself in to

that bounty hunter?

I gave the man my word.

Well, things have

a way of workin' out.

Hey, I don't think

I've ever seen that

safe closed before.

The railway workers'

money came in.

Oh.

When's it headin' out?

But I guess you wanna

keep them details a secret.

No, I put the word out.

It leaves tomorrow morning.

You put the word out?

I'm trying to attract

a certain element.

They're all dead.

Maybe.

So you escortin'

that money yourself?

Yeah.

You wanna ride with me?

No, I try to

stay out of...

Government affairs.

I remember.

You still sore

about them horses?

Nah, there's no reason

for both of us to get

the lash.

John, you didn't even run.

Never been much

of a runner.

Oh, I think we're

way past you takin'

your f***in' hat off.

I understand you're going

to be escortin' the Express

with the rail

workers' money.

That's right.

You know, somebody

might actually

take it upon himself

to rob that Express.

I'm countin' on it.

You know, I'm gonna

be really pissed

if you go and get

yourself killed.

I'll keep that in mind.

I just have this feeling

that something terrible

is gonna happen.

We can't.

Ben is gonna ask for

your hand in marriage.

Ah, well, he doesn't know

where my hands have been.

Sh*t.

Huh!

You're wearin'

McClure's ring.

McClure?

Where did you get this?

Rudd.

ALICE:

Where you off to?

I'm gonna help Greyson

move some ponies.

You need the Winchester

for that?

John Mason's a killer,

you know.

Worked for the Pinkertons

out in New York City.

Killed for money.
