the union payroll.

We could set out the next day,

when things settle.

I mean, I can take her,

I just need to know where

the boys are, Ben.

I-I don't...

I don't want you to go alone.

It doesn't take

two of us, Ben.

If we feel like it's safe,

I can take her.

I just need to know where.

So you don't think

I can handle it?

Now, Hattie Gatlin,

that is not what I said.

You don't have to...

it's written all over your face,

which is incredibly insulting,

since I've already done

a few runs on my own.

What?

That's not what's written

on my face here...

That's all.

Ben Crawford,

if you want to say something.

Then just tell me what you...

now, I'm working

all night tonight...

And probably half

the day tomorrow.

Then you and I will take Kessie

to see her boys...

Together.

You've got your lantern,

a pot of coffee, and a bucket.

How generous, aunt Cordelia.

I'll be back at 6:00

in the morning.

I got you this shotgun.

You won't even have to use it.

You asked me to do this,

so I'm here.

I raised you like a son.

You're the only one I trust.

Hattie knows the kids

are staying with mom, but...

In case anything goes wrong...

- I've been thinking about...

- don't.

That works for some,

but not for you.

Come on, Belle.

I'm sorry, okay?

I'm... I'm sorry that I never saw

what was right in front

of my own damn face,

and if I could go back

and do it over again, I would...

I want to.

It don't work that way, Toby.

You know that.

After this robbery,

let's just leave, okay?

Just you and me,

and we'll start a new family,

and I'll... I'll raise your kids

as my own,

and we'll have more kids.

Belle, we can have

a little boy.

We're closed.

But it ain't even 5:00 yet.

Don't you see all

the commotion around here, boy?

Please, sir.

My ma, my pa,

my two brothers...

they all got took

by the smallpox.

The smell of "putrefication"

is a sure sign of the smallpox.

I ain't touching

them bodies, boy.

You don't need to do nothing.

I just need a place

to put 'em for tonight.

- On three.

- Yes, sir.

Three.

All right.

Don't just stand there, boy.

- Go.

- Uh, yes, sir.

Go.

Get the hell out of here.

Damn.

Ah.

Ugh.

Yeah.

Ah!

I call.

Go on.

Hey, Zeke.

Let's show these dumb yanks

whose town this is.

- Play Dixie.

- Okay.

- Yee-ha!

- Whoo-hoo!

Southrons,

hear your country call you up

lest worse

than death befall you

to arms, to arms

to arms, in Dixie

- come on, sing!

Lo, all the beacon fires

are lighted

let all hearts

be now united

to arms, to arms

to arms, in Dixie

advance the flag of Dixie

hurrah! Hurrah!

In Dixie's land,

we'll take our stand

and live or die for Dixie

Stand fast!

Hold your position!

To arms, to arms

to arms, in Dixie

your fierce defiance

stamp upon

the accursed alliance

to arms, to arms

to arms, in Dixie

advance the flag of Dix...

Now play

battle hymn of the republic.

Come on.

Mine eyes have seen

the glory

of the coming

of the lord

he is trampling

out the vintage

where the grapes

of wrath are stored

he has loosed

the fateful fire

from his terrible

swift sword

his truth

is marching on

Come on, Johnny!

Glory, glory,

hallelujah

glory, glory...

glory, glory, hallelujah

his truth

is marching on

in the beauty

of the lilies

Christ was born

across the sea

with a glory

in his bosom

that transfigures

you and me

as he died

to make men holy

let us die

to make men free

What the hell is that?

His truth is marching on

Belle,

what the hell is that?

They changed it.

Changed it from...

what is this damn thing?

I heard tell of these things.

They're combination locks.

- Yeah?

- A what?

You got to know the numbers

to open it.

How many numbers?

I don't know.

It's over.

Can you hear it...

When you get the right number?

It's got leather.

You should be able

to hear something.

Can't hear a goddamn thing.

Advance the flag of Dixie

hurrah! Hurrah!

You're gonna pick a time

like this to be thirsty?

If you put your ear on it,

you can hear better.

To arms and conquer peace

for Dixie

to arms! To arms!

Hear anything?

Too many muskets went off

by my ear.

You do it.

You do it.

You heard anything yet?

No, it's too loud.

- I hear something.

- Yeah?

No.

Well, keep going.

That's two.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

- Fight! Fight! Fight!

- Get 'em.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Draw, come on.

That's enough!

Come on, Belle, we got

to get the gold out of here.

We can't just leave him here

to die, jasper.

He's a Crawford, Belle.

Let him bleed.

Help me!

Belle, quit this,

or we're all gonna be killed.

- What have we done, jasper?

- What we planned, Belle.

We ain't never getting

Caleb back,

but we are gonna take

our revenge.

And that is what this

is all about.

Let's go.

Kessie, come on.

We done everything we can.

Kessie.

Kessie!

You got it.

Hold up!

Whoa.

Kind of late

for a funeral, ain't it?

You never can be too careful

with the smallpox.

It's best to get 'em

in the ground quick.

Haven't heard of any cases

of the pox in this town.

Yeah, this poor bastard...

he died three counties over.

No one would take him in.

Be my guest, take a look.

This is the last one, boys!

Every lawman in the country

is gonna be looking for men like

us spending double eagles...

So we're not.

Each one of you'll get a stack

here of these greenbacks.

This should keep you

more than comfortable

until the heat dies down.

Meet up again in a month

outside of Bismarck.

Everyone will get their cut.

All right, boys,

get out of here.

We'll see you later.

Let's ride out, Toby.

Easy, easy.

Slow.

- All right.

- You got it?

I got it.

I don't want to leave you

behind again, Belle.

You better go, Toby.

I'll be back in a month.

I'm going back to jasper's

little sister's place

and get that gold

for myself.

I felt like telling someone

about it, but, uh...

Didn't want to worry

about it later.

Buddy, I went down

to scarlet town

ain't never

been there before

well, you slept

on a feather bed

I slept on the floor

I don't mind

a lean old time

or drinking

my coffee cold

but the things

I seen in scarlet town

did mortify my soul

They robbed the bank

last night.

Looked at that

dark grave

ringing that iron bell

in scarlet town today

Is all the money gone?

Miss Gatlin.

What's all this?

Someone robbed

the bank last night.

They shot Ben Crawford.

Don't know

if he's gonna make it.

Hattie.

You can't go

in there now, ma'am.

- What are you talking about?

- Excuse me?

This is my bank.

This is the scene

of a crime now.

You're not allowed in.

- The hell you say.

- Then tell me, major,

how you and your men allowed

this to happen.

You were right outside

the door.

We will not

be held responsible.

Ma'am,

with all due respect,

you refused to allow my men

in your bank.

When we finish counting up

what's missing,

you're on the line

for every cent of it.
