ON THE ROUTE OF PROSPEC What is your name?
Jud Blunt from Fort Smith.
What does the letter say?
You know I do not read.
Take it! Look at this!
Never mind!
The beard is three weeks old.
Our man is shaved.
Come on, Mr. Blunt!
Pay for what you drink,
keep your gun...
and there will be no problem.
How's it going, Tom?
What is it, Judge?
A guy named Joe Maybe
raided a bank in Muskogee.
He did not steal anything,
but they did not catch him.
- How do you know that?
- We're getting civilized.
We have a telegraph for which you can
speak, if you can decipher what you say!
Come on, Tom!
It's delaying the law!
Civilization!
Speak for the telegraph!
Wait there, son!
- Where are you from?
- Upstream.
We're looking for a
man up the river.
Dress like you, it
looks like you...
can even have the same name.
What is your name?
Does it make a difference?
It can look beautiful in
the field we make it.
If not, we'll just
write Joe Maybe.
He tried to rob a
bank in Muskogee.
If you can afford
all the letters!
Check the guy!
Get off the saddle slowly.
Do not try!
You are Jim Noonan
of Indian Territory.
Why did not you tell me?
- Why did not you ask me?
- Are you sure, Judge?
Of course, only Noonan
walks with a broken star!
Only Noonan would shoot
me, because I was a fool.
Deputy, I owe you a drink.
Follow me!
Why does not he fall?
I've already seen him shot six times.
And it never falls...
Unless you're pregnant!
Funny, delegate.
Because we've never met?
Lucky, I imagine, Judge.
I met Old Bill McClintoc...
the one who used the insignia in
the Indian Territory before him.
Met?
I drank a lot with him
a week before he died.
It was Sam Teeler from Pecos.
I've never met Sam either.
I've heard of him.
Be careful when you meet him. You
can lose another tip of that star.
I'll be careful.
My, man! A hole is not enough?
Why are you doing another?
Too bad it was not in your head.
The doctor does not like me because
I never send him any patient.
Let's take that bottle,
shall we, delegate?
His whole business goes to
Jepson, the funeral director.
I know he pays you
$ 10 per head.
Only if the deceased has money.
Do I keep them waiting, or do I
say there's no hearing today?
There will be audition today!
Give me my work clothes!
Wait, sir.
Sit down with me,
you're my guest.
Attention, get up!
Get up everyone!
The court is in session!
Sit down, sit down!
What are we doing today? The first case
is the Railroad against Dan Watson.
a conviction of the Railroad.
It will not be long.
Proceed. Be brief.
When the company I represent has
agreed to make this city...
the terminal of your
Western Division...
guaranteed that the passage
by the banks of the river...
would be obtained at reasonable prices.
We offer Mr. Watson, $
1,000 for the warehouse...
a part of which we must
remove for the passage.
His price is $ 20,000...
I find that outrageous!
I'll tell you what's outrageous.
What do you think, Dan?
Lawyer Hutchins
will speak for me.
If he talks, he'll lose.
I demand a change of attitude!
This court is prejudiced
and admits it!
You're right, you're prejudiced,
because you're a liar and a traitor.
If you do not like these words...
Take me to court!
Why do you ask for $ 20,000, Dan?
Because the Railroad
has money to pay.
Well, that's an honest
statement, but it's not fair.
The Railroad is very
important for our city.
Do the following.
Let them get the part
they need for $ 2,000.
They build the loading platforms and
make the leftovers for nothing.
I do not know if I agree, merit.
You'll agree, because it's the law.
The law?
What I say is law in the river.
Pay $ 2,000 to Dan!
And no one leaves.
They knew delegate Noonan!
It uses the badge...
of Bill McClintock,
who died using it!
Old Bill received it from Jeff Taylor,
who handled the law at Pecos.
I will see this insignia very much.
Watch the gun behind her.
The delegate will keep everything
peaceful and quiet here in the city...
Until I can hit the hammer!
I'm afraid I can not
agree to that, Judge.
Agree, it's the law!
I'll close the session...
and the drinks are on the
Railroad until midnight.
I'll give you $ 10 a day,
cartridges and a new hat. Fair.
More than fair, Judge. But there is a
good reason why I can not accept it.
I do not want to hear it.
But I want you to listen.
There's a town in Kansas
called Abilene...
The Railroad will never get there.
It will not do any good!
We want to bring the
cattle trail to dogs.
You'll like this city. I'll even give
you a house without paying rent.
"Yes, but I must-"
Son, talk too much!
It's time to drink hard.
Take it off. Bring my shirt on.
Where is your insignia?
Come on, take it off.
People will be proud
to see this insignia.
And I think you'll be proud to display it.
Two good men and both dead.
Why is not your name here?
I'm not dead.
I'll tell you, Judge...
I'm worried about
our new delegate.
Did not I like to dance
with these beautiful girls?
You know I liked it! This is not it.
Noonan looks too young
for a delegate.
They are all young people in the Territory.
They have no time to grow old.
You did it!
Because they do not
do elegant gun shows.
I do not give a damn about
who likes to shoot.
Judge Kyle!
Madigan's in town! Bbw and evil.
I see. I told him to
stay away from him.
"But you forgot to tell him!"
"I told him not to come to town."
It's a good way to
be killed, delegate.
? His girlfriend?
"Madigan thinks I am."
And come here to taste!
Give me the shotgun!
I will not let him be killed!
Not Madigan!
Stop talking nonsense
and give me that gun!
He may have known
of his wounded arm.
I still have a good one!
Judge, we're paying Noonanm
to take care of men like him!
And he liked to meet
Madigan, did not he, chief?
Not exactly, but I'll be here.
"Will you be faster than Madigan?"
If I have to.
You're right. He's kind of young.
I'm going to put some age into it.
Come with me, son!
Give Little Brandy a glass.
"Well, alas!
We do not even see who comes back!"
This is on me.
From tomorrow, you have to
keep the city in peace...
Deal with the shake.
Come to heaven, son.
- Why do we hide?
- Shut up!
Old goat!
He's lying on the floor!
The best time to shoot.
Never give another hypothesis to the other!
I forgot to tell you!
Madigan's pack fights the same way.
Let's go!
The others are inside!
- I'll buy you a drink!
- It's empty!
Two left for themselves.
It's ten minutes to
get out of town. All!
That does not include the girls.
For them, a drink.
Throw me a bottle!
Son, you will not last!
What would you do if you
fired two cartridges?
- I do not think I thought.
- I'll teach you to think.
We pay to keep order...
not to give gun shows!
This is a tough city.
There's only one way to keep it clean.
Yes I know!
"Never give the other a hypothesis."
Give me a bottle!
The steamer is coming, Judge!
