Do you know what we do to

people in the joint like you?

As a matter of fact...

I do.

Help me.

Who's ringing that bell?

What're you doin' to this man?

- Gracious me.

- Jesus Christ.

Come on! Come on!

Walk, or I drag ya.

- Not you, little girl.

- Gabriel?

Gabriel. Honey.

- Oh, you knew.

- Gabriel.

You knew. All these years

and you knew who I was.

Yes. You're Gabriel Bishop.

Am I?

Yes.

What's he doing here, Cole?

You're late, little brother.

Always good to have a Plan B.

Isn't that right, Pike?

- Pike?

- Who?

- Hey. What's this all about?

- Bishop killed Boyd.

- What?

- I never seen anything like it.

Pike!

You're a f***in' dead man.

Where's Stillman?

Where's Stillman?

Who are these men, Bishop?

His name's not Bishop.

It's Pike.

He used to be like my brother.

Until he betrayed me.

Just like he's

betrayed all of you.

Seems he's not the man

you thought he is.

Maybe never was.

Now, somewhere in your shitty

little town, your sheriff, here,

has hidden $10 million.

I'm gonna need you

to find that for us.

Jesus F***in' Christ man,

and we elected you sheriff?

Take 'em to the diner.

Come on, Cole. This is

between you and me.

Anyone leaves town,

anyone goes for help...

I see one unfamiliar face,

first I burn the diner,

then I burn down your town.

You have until sunrise.

Whose town is it now?

Hey. Where's

that money, Bishop?

Whatever the f*** your name is.

You really think I would

risk my family if I knew?

I have no idea what a man

like you would do. F*** this.

Wait, it's in...

it's in the church!

We was just pouring the foundation

just when Bishop got here.

- That's right.

- Yeah, he's right.

- I helped pour that foundation.

- Wait. Wait. Wait.

- We can't be sure.

- Where else could it be?

- Burn it.

- Yeah! Burn it!

Oh yeah, the cement foundation

will protect the cash.

You can't seriously be thinking

about burning down God's house.

Oh, you know God's never even

been in Baker, Reverend.

Hell, he just passes by on the way

to Vegas like everybody else.

You're supposed to protect us,

Sheriff. What're you gonna do?

I don't know.

I'm just a guy, a guy who's

trying to do the right thing.

But it's a hell of a lot easier

to do the wrong thing.

I'm getting the f*** outta this town!

Y'all be smart to do the same.

- You heard what they said.

- Yeah?

They'll kill 'em.

Nobody's going anywhere, Madsen.

Johnny? Johnny, calm down.

Give me the gun, kid.

Why didn't you leave?

Because he wouldn't leave.

You ever wonder why?

I love you.

In my way, I love you.

I always have.

This is not just

about you and me.

Do you think these men are gonna

leave without that money?

Do it for the girl.

It's not too late.

Come with me.

I'll let him live.

Tell him to bring

that money before dawn.

Stupid kid.

What you doing here?

So, he just sent you to me.

To do what? Help me remember?

They've got my baby, Gabriel.

I thought if you knew where

the money was, you'd leave.

So that's it, then?

So what'ya gonna do,

kill us all?

No. But I promise you,

I will kill you.

Hmm.

Don't f***ing touch her!

I spent three days in this

f***ing town. In this heat.

Well, at least it wasn't

a total waste of time.

Kane, let her go.

Let her go.

Now.

- Let her go!

- F*** that!

F*** you!

But, I'm-I'm your brother.

Half-brother.

Just the two of us, now.

It always was.

You think you deserve

a second chance?

No.

All of this was for what?

Money could be anywhere.

Could be buried in the desert.

Could've just blown away.

Always was long odds.

Thought about you.

Breakin' rocks up at Nevada

State, I thought about you a lot.

New Zealand, I thought.

South of France,

lyin' on a beach.

But here? With her.

So this is about Carmen.

You know we don't

have to do this anymore.

I think we do.

Hey.

This is gonna bring people here.

They'll find out who I am.

I gotta go.

Go. Then, go. Go.

Stay here.

It's okay.

That ol' silver mine.

Out at my place,

been threatening to cave

in for years and years.

I think it's time

I sealed it up for good.

It's okay, it's okay.

This is Baker.

Whatever happens here, ain't

nobody else's business.

What're you gonna do now,

Joshua? Head back to Vegas?

No. This is where I belong.

Pontius Pilate washed his hands clean.

I don't think this comes off.

The Lord said, "If but ten

among you be righteous,

I will not destroy

the town for their sake."

You think God found ten

righteous people here in Baker?

I think sometimes

He takes what he can get.

Just like being

on the water

Reaching out to the shore

Walking hand in hand

with my baby

The world spinnin' round

Oh, so many miles

and days spent there

That walk by the harbor

Oh, someday we'll get back

To the water

Where we first

took that walk alone

Someday we'll get back

To the water to make

ourselves a home

I wanna talk with you, baby

To the good times

and the bad times

If I could slow down

These hands that wind

Just like that summer night

When I asked you

to take a walk

It might last forever

Oh, someday we'll get back

To the water

Where we first took

that walk alone

Someday we'll get back

to the water

And make ourselves a home

That was so long ago

by the harbor

Well, I asked you to take

a walk that might last forever

That day by the harbor

Hear me cry

Someday we'll get back

to the water

Where we first took

that walk alone

Someday we'll get back

to the water

And make ourselves a home

Oh, so long ago

That day by the harbor

Oh, someday we'll get back

To the water

Make ourselves a home
