whatever the hell he wants?

Huh?

Lots of times, I suppose.

And what did you

do about it?

I did nothing!

Now's your chance

to do something about it.

Every one of us.

Now who's with me?

Come on!

[crowd murmuring]

[Pete] Come on down

from there, Jake.

I'll buy you a drink.

Let's let the authorities

take care of it now.

I want y'all to

remember this day.

This moment.

When Jake Struthers...

the town drunk...

the lowlife...

the one that you all

laughed at behind my back...

this is the day that

I went after Cole Roberts!

When no one else would!

[panting]

Hyah! Hyah!

[speaking native language]

[speaks native language]

Come in.

Leaving us?

It's time that I move on.

Life with just one man.

No sir, that ain't no

kind of life for me.

Did I ever tell you

I was married once?

I didn't know that.

Not the kind of thing

you share in this business.

Thought I was in love.

Even when he

beat me senseless.

Finally summoned up

the courage

to leave that

worthless freeloader

and I ain't never

looked back.

Never understood love.

Just didn't see

the purpose of it.

Till seeing

you with Jake.

Makes you realize there's

still a lot of learning

to be done in this world.

Here.

Take this for Jake

and the doctor's lodgings.

No, you keep it.

Thank you.

Thank you, Edna.

For everything.

You're welcome.

Now, I don't want to

see you back here,

not ever again.

[sighs]

I got you now.

[gunshot,

horse whinnies]

[gunshot reverberating]

Well, I guess they

know I'm here now.

[man]

That's far enough!

I'm here as promised!

Now let my wife go!

[Cole]

Why would I do that?

Because I have

something that you want!

This is the original deed

to the mine.

You hear me?

No more hiding

behind Deets anymore.

You let her go,

and it's yours!

You mean my gold mine.

Not anymore.

Deets saw to that.

Property's been seized

by the county!

Where did you get that?

It was well hidden.

Well, well, well.

It seems like we both have

something the other wants.

Show me the paper.

Show her to me first.

Bring that Injun out.

[yelling, grunting]

[panting]

[speaking native language]

[Cole]

What's she saying?

She says, "How much

men you have?"

[speaking native language]

You want it?

It's yours!

This ends now!

Bring it to me.

No.

It's not gonna work

like that.

You give her a fresh horse

and some distance.

And then I'll do

whatever you want.

Mm.

Howdy, Joe.

[grunts]

[speaking native language]

[breathing heavily]

Ah!

[men clamoring

in slow motion]

[grunts, panting]

We have to go down

there and help him.

Not till my men come,

we won't.

- But they're gonna kill him.

- Son,

we don't know how many

men are down there.

We might be walking into

a trap and not even know it.

Well, that's easy

for you to say.

He's not

your goddamn brother.

I left him before,

I'm not gonna do it again.

Leave him be.

[Jesse panting]

[grunting]

Sign it.

Sign it!

Good.

Very good.

You didn't think I was

stupid enough to let her go

just like that, did you?

[groaning, yelling]

You son of a b*tch!

[grunting, groaning]

[men laughing]

[coughs]

[screams]

[speaks native language]

Let me introduce you to

a very old friend of mine.

You remember Vance Edison,

don't you?

How's your neck?

[yelling]

- [yelling]

- [men laughing]

Pretty little lady

you got there, Struthers.

Looks like she loves you

a whole lot.

I ain't afraid of you.

You're gonna be, boy.

Believe me,

you're gonna be.

[crying, yelling]

Before I kill you,

tell me one thing,

what happened

to my partner?

What are you

talking about?

[men laughing]

[gagging]

That was for Billy!

[groans]

You son of a b*tch!

[gagging]

[laughs]

[panting]

Now where was I?

[screams]

[gasps]

[grunts]

[all clamoring]

[gasps]

[grunts]

Get down,

there's too many of them.

[laughs]

Is that the best you got?

I overestimated you,

Struthers.

I thought you were

smarter than that.

[crying]

[laughing]

Hey, Cole,

come up here!

What the hell is that?

[groaning]

Holy sh*t.

Gentlemen,

shall we?

[battle cry]

[all yelling]

Don't just stand there,

go get 'em!

[all clamoring]

[yelling]

[grunts]

[yells]

[all yelling]

[gunfire]

[clamoring]

[groans]

[chokes, grunts]

[low growl]

[grunting, yelling]

[gasping]

[neck cracks]

Ah!

[crying]

[both panting]

[whispers

in native language]

[neck breaks]

[grunting]

[c*cks gun]

[man cries out]

Fight me like a man.

Come on!

Follow me, boy.

[grunting]

Ah!

[both grunting]

[groaning]

Come on, boy.

[battle cry]

[grunting]

[both grunting]

[groaning]

[grunting, yelling]

[both grunting]

[exclaims]

[groaning]

[screaming]

[grunts]

[both grunting]

[bellows]

Come on!

My turn!

[coughs]

[grunts]

[winces in pain]

[grunts]

[panting]

[spits, panting]

[bellowing]

[yelling]

[groans]

[coughs]

[groaning weakly]

Time for you to die, boy.

[yells]

[groaning]

[battle cry]

[screams]

[grunts]

[panting]

[laughs]

Oh, sh*t.

Yeah.

You look good.

You should see

the other guy.

[Jake]

I got to ask you,

how did he know

that you were here?

Remember when I said

he just may surprise you?

You mean you both were

in on this the entire time?

I had to have him

get Cole out of town,

and I needed to know

exactly where he was

so we could go after him.

Well, why didn't

you tell me?

I couldn't risk it.

No one knew.

I'm sorry, brother.

Huh?

Huh? Huh?

[groans]

[coughing laugh]

[chuckles]

And you!

You are a no-good...

card-cheating

son of a b*tch.

But you sure got

one hell of a poker face.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[whimpers]

Jesse!

[crying]

[speaks native language]

[battle cry]

[all joining in]

[gunshots, shouting]

[laughing]

[gunshot, grunts]

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Help! Help me!

Help me! Help me!

I'm unarmed!

I'm unarmed!

Don't shoot me.

I'm unarmed!

Identify yourself.

I'm just a gold miner.

I'm out here

doing my job.

The Apaches,

they attacked us.

They're killing everyone!

Mayor Deets is dead!

What is your name?

My name?

My name...

they are killing

white folks

right now as we speak.

All right, Saunders,

Mitchell, Wilson,

flank left.

Ians, Maddox, O'Reilly,

flank right.

The rest of you come with me.
