The Salvation Page #2

There a lot of hungry people out there.

14,15 - deeds at a collected

sum of 3,148 dollars.

And 12 percent,

your entitled to 3,524.

And 76 cents.

Let's make it a dollar.

Madelaine takes pride on making

sure those books add up.

Well, the devil is in the detail...

The company doesn't like

the way things are going.

Are you aware that the

sheriff in Black Creek

wired the federal

government for help.

I manage to blocked the

communication for now.

But you can't go on using the same

methods you used in the army.

These people are not Indians.

Standard Atlantic, is a modern

company Colonel Delarue.

And we need our operations

to look civilized.

Am I making myself clear?

Good.

Now, How long before Black

Creek is bought up?

I'll have the whole valley bought up in

a week if you let me do things my way.

Just answer the question.

You keep your cavalry

out of the equation,

I recon it'll take me

3 to 4 months.

That's all I needed to know.

Good day to you.

So they want me to be

civilize, princess.

Hell, I guest I can do that.

As long as we keep

piling up the money.

Alright boys...

I'll take it from here.

Let Pete run...

Mallick?

He wasn't on that stagecoach.

He's not involved in this.

He broke a Deputy Marshall's jaw.

So he's gonna have to take

his legal punishment for that.

Well unfortunately,

things are gonna be...

a little bit different for you.

I already had to send word to Delarue,

that we got you into custody.

I'm sure you're

aware he's been...

making life hard for...

all of us.

I don't know what

happened to him.

He used to be a good man.

I guess killing all those

Indians for us, must've...

Unsettled his mind.

I am sorry for your loss, Jon.

Yeah, I am.

But you seem to have followed him

right down the same path.

If you just.,

showed a little compassion for Delarue's

brother, instead of killing him then.

Mrs. Borowski and Mr. Whisler

and Joe Noleg still be here.

I won't be the last man Delarue

is gonna kill around here.

No.

Probably not.

But your death is gonna

buy us some time.

I already wired for assistance.

Trying to restore some

law and order.

Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a

single sheep, to save the rest.

I'm just a shepherd,

guarding his flock.

They say you are a soldier.

Did you ever fight, in the war?

I did.

Who was the enemy?

Germans.

Germans?

Bravo.

You have my respect.

Here he is.

The worthless son of a b*tch that

killed your beloved husband.

Your beloved husband,

killed my 10-year-old son.

And he raped my wife.

No one asked you to talk.

Well...

We will soon find out what

you're made of, soldier.

You're late.

I'll be with you in a moment, Henry.

Can I have his boots?

Go ahead.

Keane...

You won't be needing these, my friend.

Not where you are going.

I got a christening this morning.

So Sunday Mass gonna

take a little longer.

You give him water

if he asks for it.

And don't get excited.

Can I have some water?

No.

Sorry to turn my back on you..

But the view is better from here.

Got you pretty good, didn't I?

I mean, you were ugly before I

knocked out your teeth...

But now...

I hope you have a

woman that loves you.

'cause you ain't gonna

find one with that face.

You've probably never could gotten

a thing without paying for it.

Not with that stupid

voice of yours.

But it's gonna cost you extra now.

That's for sure.

Shut up!

I actually did you a favor.

I mean it's better now.

Now you don't just sound like a sick mule,

you look like one too.

I said shut up!

People won't be as surprised

to when you open your mouth.

Goddamnit it!

I'm gonna kill you.

It's probably a family thing.

I am sure your whore mother sounded

like a mule when you were conceived.

Goddamn!

You know how long, I've

waited for this very moment.

You felt that, didn't you?

Of course you did.

You are so... beautiful.

You know what those.,

what those savages did to you,

taking your tongue.

I know it must've been

horrible for you.

But I see it as a...

a gift...

To me.

When I'm done here...

You and Me we're gonna..

We're gonna get a place in New Orleans.

Oh, you will shine.

You will be the princess of New Orleans.

Get the horses.

Jon! Jon!

I'll be back.

They split up.

Corsican, take half the men

follow this trail.

The rest come with me.

Bring your sister inside the house, Billy!

And take Daddy's gun.

We don't want you here.

You shouldn't drink from the well,

it's full of that sticky oil.

I left you some bread and boiled water

Thank you, Mrs. Whisler.

- Why are you leaving?

- Delarue killed my husband.

I'm sorry to leave you like this.

You wanna come with us?

I'll be fine.

He's gonna kill you.

You know Paul, he...

He saved you from them Indians.

But he never did

straighten you out.

Goddamn it.

Now I gotta kill you.

That's a shame, Henry.

We could take good care of her.

There's nothing wrong

with her body.

Once again...

Good fortune smiles down

upon you, princess.

Once you've all had

your way with her...

Cut her throat.

I would like my boots back.

Your boots?

Sure.

Sure..I..

I kept them here for you.

I kept them nice and clean.

Look.

Here.

Did you buy Mrs. Whisler's farm?

Yeah, I believe I did.

Yeah.

Have you got her deed?

- What? This is all very confusing...

- What about my deed?

You want your money?

Sure..

Sure here.

Here it is, Jon.

Take it, take it all.

What were you doing up

at Delarue's place?

Someone had died.

You know..

I mean everyone

deserves a coffin.

Even though they ain't

going to heaven.

- Henry...

- What?

You called him Henry.

Get the lid off that coffin.

Sure.

I'm an undertaker.

That's what I was doing there.

I mean, Somebody's gotta take

care of these matters.

Get in!

Look.. I'm just trying to make

a good living, you know.

That's all.

I'm a businessman.

You're not even a man.

- Please don't.

- Get in.

- You won't get away with this.

- Get in.

I'm the mayor of this town.

I try to help people.

Nobody wants the land.

Please don't!

No. Please.

No! no please!

Oh God, no.

You're right, Jon.

I don't keep the deeds.

I give them to Delarue.

I need a revolver, a holster and

some ammunition from my Winchester.

Give me a knife as well.

I'll pay for it.

I also need two bottles of kerosene.

I want you to go to Mallick.

Tell him that Keane has been

making money on all of us.

All that land and the

houses he bought...

Wasn't for himself, he's been

selling it all to Delarue.

It's that sticky oil.

Delarue believes that it will

soon be worth thousands.

You think you and your brother are

gonna fight Delarue on your own?

No, my brother is dead.

Let me come.

- You're just a kid.

- I'm not a kid, I turn 16 in May.

I've been practicing my shooting,

I'm not a bad shot.

You don't stand a

chance on your own.

He brought his own coffin.

Burn him.

The barn is on fire!

Do it!

Do it!

I underestimated you, soldier.

You may have killed all my men.
