And you sure as hell ain't Doc Holliday!
- I resent that Sheriff!
All right Alex, I'll take
famous fatalities for 400.
- Long distance every 5 minutes,
follow it up with a phone call.
Now if you get an outside
line, get in touch
with the nearest army base.
Just be calm, tell 'em
exactly what I told you.
They'll send somebody to help.
- Will do.
- Oh, keep yourself locked in here.
- Qkay.
- How you holdin' Suz?
- All right I guess!
- Now you remember everything?
Keep 'em strapped down
tight, plenty of padding,
don't be stingy with that tranquilizer.
- I'll, will do Sheriff!
Good luck!
- All right good luck
to you honey.
That's the last of 'em.
Now barricade yourself
inside with the others.
don't know, let 'em have it.
Go ahead.
- Must be some kind of a weird experiment.
One guy probably controlling a whole town
with toxic chemicals.
Warfare like that you don't need nukes.
Just a few men and a few major
population centers to activate it.
- How do you cut off a town
from the rest of the world?
It's the United States of
America for Christ sakes.
- Well hell son we're
just a spot on the map.
We don't even get many visitors,
just us, coming and going.
- Reason enough to pick Canyonland.
- But why haven't we seen 'em?
- We will, they'll need to
check the results first hand,
we'll be waiting on 'em.
- We will indeed.
- Sorry...
God...
I love you...
So much.
- Some things man just can't do.
- She's my wife!
- Oh, maybe the effects wear off,
could be all right after all.
Come on.
- Damn!
- NOW?
' No!
We don't know how many are in the van,
and those suits may be bullet proof.
- Well there's only one way to find out.
- No no no no, there's
too much space out here,
we gotta, we gotta pen 'em
in, at the old drive-in.
- Some Sheriff's never change.
- I'll get the cattle started,
you just make sure you're
there at the end of the drive.
- Hold on, his show now, you lead the way.
- Julia see if you can find a switch,
we get some light on those bastards.
You two, when the lights
come on, don't miss!
- Hey hey!
I tell 'ya he's gone nuts!
- Sue him.
' No!
- I'm sorry.
He was a good man.
- He was a good father too.
Why don't you keep it Reilly.
- Whatever you say Sheriff.
- I'm not much of a cop,
I just wanted to be close to my dad.
- What about Canyonland?
- This town doesn't
need a Sheriff anymore,
needs a god damned undertaker.
Listen, uh...
Uh...
- Now you're the law and
- What does that make you?
- Just an ordinary citizen,
one who doesn't have to worry about
the legalities of justice.
- Thanks.
I think you just joined the posse.
The way I see it, we can
still track 'em down.
- Private little war?
- I don't need any help.
You can always go back.
- Look man I'm not a
total a**hole, you know?
- No?
- No for a rock and roll
attorney I think I'm doing pretty good.
- You guys want to fight,
save it for the enemy.
- Well give us a hint, huh?
- You're the lawyer, you figure it out.
- Well by process of
elimination I have to say
it could be anybody from the CIA,
testing some new toxic agent,
or the KGB or anybody else using
Canyonland as a Guinea pig.
this in their own back yard.
They've got Central America for that.
- The way I see it some
foreign a**holes were
sent here on a mission,
they watch, they count,
and they destroy the evidence,
if they get out, they win.
I think it's time somebody
taught these f***ers a lesson.
- Whoa!
Whoa, whoa...
Whoa, whoa...
Whoa!
Whoa!
Hi ho Silver, come on!
Huh!
Hey Reilly, my ass is killing me.
- You take the side, you take the back
I'll take the front.
- All right.
- Don't panic and
start shooting till you get my signal.
- All right.
- Let's go.
NQVV!
Pretty impressive setup.
- Great air conditioning.
- American technology.
- Looks like they thought of everything.
- Yeah, even their getaway.
- What do you mean?
- They left everything here.
Must be some kind of airlift.
- Well why would they leave all this stuff
behind when they know
somebody's gonna find...
Oh sh*t!
- Let's go!
Come on.
Come on!
Hello!
- Which way now Kimosabe?
- Don't know, horses don't
- Yeah I got a good idea--
- Just drop her, down!
Cover me!
- A Man's got to do
what a man's got to do!
Reilly!
I'm hit!
Ow...
- Whoa!
How bad is it?
- Don't know, you could die maybe.
- Ah, that's such a, I
knew it, damn I knew it!
- In about 50 to 60 years.
- F*** you!
Fine.
- You'll have to stay with him
he's lost a lot of blood.
- I didn't come all this way to play
nursemaid to a tenderfoot.
- Force yourself.
- No, I'm coming with you.
- How do you know I'm
just not gonna ride off
in the wrong direction,
maybe by accident, maybe not?
- Because guys like you
don't give up Reilly.
- This isn't a woman's
fight, if you want revenge,
let me do it for you.
- Why?
- Call it a death wish.
You're a hell of a
guy Reilly.
- Don't bet on it.
- I do.
My life in fact.
Oh, damn...
- Better get the counselor
there in some shade
if he don't bleed to
death he'll probably fry.
- Good luck.
- Whoa, whoa...
One at a time huh?
Got a problem?
- US Army patrol
helicopter , over.
- Sheriff Hanks asked me to say hello.
Enough to drive a whole town crazy.
Imagine what it can do to one man.
You get any time off in
Hell, come see us again.
- Goodbye f***er.
- Hitching again?
- Heh, women cops scare
the hell out of me.
- I'm not one anymore, remember?
- Just kidding.
- I was hoping you'd stay.
- I'm not the kind to stay
very long in one place.
- Guess some things never change, huh?
- Some.
Not others.
- Give it up Reilly.
Vigilantes die or go to jail.
Vendettas are old-fashioned.
- So am I.
is this, Days of Our Lives?
So you want a ride or what?
- I thought you were going the other way?
- Well, I guess you
What's it gonna be?
