The Far Side of Jericho Page #6

stop drinking.

J ust leave me

here to die.

Come on, Claire. We've

come this far together.

We gotta go see

what's in Jericho.

If we don't, they're just

gonna kills us anyway.

I may be a fool, but I

brought you a fresh horse.

To go where?

There's no place left

for me to go.

Except for maybe

if I had the money.

And now you say we

have to give it back?

It's not ours!

I'll go with you.

But I am not gonna help you find that

money if you're gonna give it back.

I don't need

your help.

You didn't catch

up with 'em.

I know where

they're goin'.

Jericho. Nowhere else they could be headed.

Good.

Let's go.

I want at least one of them

alive, so I can see her hang.

Jericho?

Where we buried

those men, jefe.

What do you think

the chances are

that we buried those

bodies on top of their loot.

Yo no s.

It's a big hole.

Sh*t!

The posse!

Hang in there, darlin',

you're almost there!

H urry!

You could've had it all fancy if you

woulda killed 'em all like I told ya!

Deeper!

Dig deeper!

You keep going.

I'll hold 'em off.

They ain't going nowhere

but the old mine. A dead end.

I'm goin' in there

and get a drink.

Yeah, let's go

have a drink.

I chased them women longer

than I chased my wife.

What are they doing, the

useless fucks and goat turds?

Let's go.

Oh, my God.

Good Lord,

it's them.

This where it's at?

We're gonna need

a rope and a shovel.

What makes it

your business?

Who are you?

Don't matter, does it? Come on.

We shouldn't have any trouble

finding a shovel in a mining camp.

You cover me.

I'll go with him.

Watch my back.

What are you

looking at?

I don't know, yet.

You sure ain't

my husband's ghost.

I've been following y'all,

trying to help you out.

Why? You a

friend of Frank?

Not really.

I'm a Thornton.

We don't have friends.

What are you sayin'?

I'm his brother.

The last of

the Thornton boys.

Before they

left Alabama,

they dumped me on the docks at Mobile

so they could run.

That was my first

job with 'em.

A train.

Payroll.

And that was

my thanks.

They did this

to me.

No.

I ain't his friend.

Or the other two.

But it's my money

as much as anybody's.

I thought you said

you were to help us.

But you're just here

to help yourself.

I'm watching out for my

property, same as you are.

I don't wanna

kill you, lady.

But I wouldn't mind

shooting your toes off.

Put it down.

You might be family, but you're

not half the man Frank was.

Some day I just might show

you what kind of man I am.

Who the hell are you,

you son of a b*tch?

I'm God's

f***in' vengeance.

Bring that shovel, lady.

You're gonna need it.

No se muevan!

The hangman

has your friend.

I won't kill you

unless you make me.

Muvete.

Vmonos.

Vmonos.

Alli.

Sacre bleu!

Now, you lovely

sinners.

Drop your weapons! Or I'll take

her head off from the shoulders.

Put 'em up, hangman.

You ain't gonna kill

anybody else today.

We've got

no quarrel, brother.

Let's have the women dig it up

and then we could cut it up like a fat hog.

Jake. You've gotta save me, Jake.

Jake.

I don't need another

damn partner.

Neither do I.

Looks to me like

you're all by yourself.

I dumped your

little girl in there!

With all them commoner

sons of b*tches!

But I never thought to look for

the goods in my own graveyard.

Why you...

Maxine, get down!

Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord

my ass.

I thought you

wanted me dead.

I changed my mind.

I'm coming

out, Jake!

Bad luck, Max.

It's just us now.

Whatever's gonna happen,

you're not gonna like it.

You ain't got the guts

to pull that trigger.

Jesus.

Damn!

I thought you were more Apache than white.

Take him to the bar.

He's the gringo's problem.

My momma and daddy traded me

for a jug a snake-head whiskey

when I was a kid.

If you'da known 'em,

you'd understand why I

choose to be an Apache.

It's here,

all right.

Deeper.

Go deeper.

Shut up.

There's more here.

The Thorntons raided

my camp one night.

They killed an old woman and two children

and stole the sacred

bundle for fun.

Even if we knew where it

was, we can't go in there.

Now we are the

Malasuertes again.

Thank you.

I guess they're dead

once and for all.

You think that's

what they wanted?

For us to give 'em

a decent burial?

I think they were using us as an

excuse to hang around and cause trouble.

Maybe they loved us so much

they just had to come back.

Wouldn't it be

pretty to think so?

I guess we can

split this up.

I wouldn't know who to give

it back to if I wanted to.

Show him this

when he wakes up.

It's the deed

to the ranch.

He's the last

of the Thornton's.

My share's in there, too.

I didn't want it anyway.

So, what's it

gonna be, ladies?

San Francisco

or Boston?

San Francisco's closer.

It's the Thorntons

and our money.

Thanks the Lord Jesus.

What about us, Jake?

Hell, Maxine.

If marrying bad were a

crime, we'd all be in jail.

Get that money

over here!

Get my bandanna

out of my pocket!

Bring that money

over here!

Long to go

Of Jericho

There are places

You can't go

There are finds

Everyone will

Sell their soul

On the far side

Of Jericho

Of Jericho

The love will

Hang them high

And the women

They will sigh

And their goals

Will live and die

And they see it

By, by and by

On the far side

Of Jericho

On the far side

Of Jericho

Everyone will

Sell their soul

On the far side

Of Jericho
