- Get him away or kill him.

- One or t'other.

I'm a businessman. I've got a reputation...

Get your gun!

- Typical of me. It isn't even loaded.

- Load it.

- I can't afford to get...

- Load it now.

- Men, I'm clean.

- Not clean enough to do your own killing.

I told you where he was.

That was my part.

Tattle and turn tail, that's you.

Now, are you with us...

Or against us?

I'm staying here.

Killed himself.

Stay with the boy

and you won't come to no hurt.

You have today to think it over.

It's your life to live, Wakefield.

I believe in living it bold.

All right, Wakefield!

Get away, Texas,

if you know what's good for you.

- What's this?

- Get away, Babson.

Move on, Texas!

- This man is unarmed!

- Get away like they told you.

Run, we said!

Run, they said.

Pa! Pa!

I'll go to school, Pa. I'll do anything.

You're safe, Pa. And I'm ashamed.

I ain't so proud, son.

Not of myself.

No, Hannah.

Don't leave us.

We're going to Texas.

We're gonna live it bold.
