The Unholy Four Page #2

Yeah, though it sure is nice to

watch a coyote gettin tamed.

But all Hell's gonna

break lose soon.

John Caldwell.

Next time he tried to make fools of us

in town, I ain't gonna take it Dad.

He's pushed me enough.

I swear I'll shoot the bastard.

If it was that easy,

you'd a shot him before.

No one can fight him fair and win.

And a lot have tried.

He's about as fast

as a man can be.

Even if he is past fifty.

And look at you. You ain't never

been good with a gun, have you?

To put an end to John Caldwell,

a man's gotta be careful.

Shoot him in the back, boy.

Make sure you don't miss.

You can come and eat.

That is if your hatred for poor Mr.

Caldwell hasn't effected you appetite.

Hey Sheila, ain't you

gonna give me a kiss?

You know you gotta hell of a lot to offer.

To bad we're brother and sister.

Yeah, I could sure show

you what it's all about.

That ain't bad Alan.

Set up some more.

I'm gonna try it again.

Now this time when you

draw, keep it low.

You're accurate enough now, so

work on gettin it a bit faster.

Shoot, I might as well quit Slim.

No matter how much I

practice, there is always

two shots left when the

dollar hits the ground.

You just keep at it.

There aren't too many

around that can do it.

I told you Chuck Mool even

had trouble to begin with.

Yeah right, heard he was only about five.

The Preacher called him a prodigy.

A real chip off the ole block.

That's what your pa used to say.

I got six out of six, Dad.

Huh? What's that son?

Nothing Dad.

Nothing important.

Can't you forget him?

Listen Alan.

No, you listen to me.

It's time you stopped living in the past.

The situation with the Udo's

is getting worse all the time.

And what are you doing about it?

I'll tell you.

You're sitting around,

brooding all day.

About a dead man.

A dead man, understand?

Chuck Mool is dead.

Stop that kind of talk.

You do every thing you can to make yourself

believe he's still alive.

It's no use Dad.

He's not here to give

you a hand any longer.

He's gone.

Dead!

But I am alive.

Me, your son.

Alan, I'm sorry.

- Keep away from me.

Don't touch me.

Hey Chuck, it sure must feel

strange not to recall anything?

Seems like I was born in that asylum.

How come you wound up there?

If you're mad, you get locked

up instead of being hanged.

And nobody was wrong about you.

- Drop dead.

Step right up. Step right

up ladies and gentlemen.

See the greatest show on Earth.

It is my pleasure to present

for the first time in the west.

And because of the risk involved,

possibly the last time.

That fantastic eater of fire,

The one and only. Flaming Bill.

The little one, behind the strong box.

Yeah, that's mine. The one in the middle.

How about a drink?

Not yet.

I'm gonna take a look around.

And now for my next attraction,

I'm proud to be able to offer to

you, the chance in a lifetime.

The chance to pit your strength against

the strongest man in the world.

None other than Big John.

Alright folks.

Show me your muscles.

Any one that manages to move Big

John here, one complete step,

will be presented with the

magnificent sum of $50.

Provided of course that he first pays

$2 for the privilege of trying.

That's it folks. Just $2 will get you $50.

Step right up and match your strength

against the strongest man in the world.

You're right, let's give it a try.

Alright, step right up.

There's gotta be somebody here

that's man enough to match his,

thank you very much Sir.

May I take this opportunity

to wish you the best of luck.

Big John will find it

very hard, I'm sure.

Gather round folks, we've

got our first contender.

Alright now, are

both of you ready?

Ok.

- Then go.

Pull, pull, pull, pull.

Yeah, now!

Go on, go on. Now put

him on his knees.

You did it, Woody!

Hey, did you hurt yourself?

Mighty quiet around here.

You happen to know a...

friend of mine, fella called Chuck Mool?

The only mule I know son

is the mule I own myself.

And I never was one for

given animals a name.

Jesus, never fails.

Jesus, never fails.

Heaven and earth will pass away,

but Jesus never...

fails.

Jesus, never fails.

Jesus...

Come on Brother,

The Lord will give you strength.

Never fails.

I bought some ammunition.

I hate to be without necessities.

From people have been telling me,

there ain't a soul in town knows about you.

Still. Something tells me,

this is the right place.

Don't we know each

other from some place?

That's not what you would

call an original line friend.

But maybe I like you and

that's all that matters.

But you look like you seen an old friend.

Are you real sure you've

never seen or met me before?

Oh sure. Besides, I'd

tell you if I had.

Didn't you say you were buying?

No wait, you buy.

You oughta allow some

respect you big N*gger.

Don't do it.

You know, you're looking for trouble.

There ain't no strangers

gonna push us around Mister.

Sorry, I was just kidding.

My friend, Jack,

ain't to clever.

It's a bad joke.

He ain't never been too clever.

Hey what was that all about?

- Nothing, I ain't got time to talk to you.

That's kinda strange.

Yeah.

Very strange.

Hey Schuler,

go see where that fella went.

You mean to tell me

that all these goins on

aren't ringing a bell

in that head of yours?

Your name's Chuck Mool.

And folks around here are

scared to death of you.

Why was that man afraid of me?

I'm telling you it's Chuck Mool.

The either you're crazy, or

you're hitting the bottle.

Chuck Mool's been dead now for three

years now as everybody knows.

All I know is a man ain't dead when

he's standing there staring at you.

Cold sober.

I'm telling you it was Chuck Mool.

Buddy, I don't believe you.

If you'd been in the saloon,

you wouldn't think that.

Mr. Roodle.

That sure won't no ghost.

It can't be Chuck Mool, he been dead.

Are you sure?

When the Sheriff told us the boy was

dead, I saw no reason to question it.

He on is own?

No Sir, and the men that are

with him aren't from here.

What are they like?

There's one that's build like a barn door.

A big black n*gger.

The other two seem more like

a couple of rattlers.

How come he didn't

recognize you Ben?

I guess I changed.

This whole thing doesn't add up.

From what Ben said, he sure

ain't acting like a Caldwell.

We gotta find out what he's up to.

Why don't you go ask him?

That's more or less what I got in mind.

The one over there.

Lord, no!

We came to ask you, if you could

say a little prayer for us Father.

What do you want from me?

Who are you?

I don't know.

Who are your three friends?

And how come you fellas came here?

I don't know.

I don't know.

What's your name?

What's your name?

I'm Woody.

An who's Chuck Mool?

I don't know.

He doesn't even know himself.

What are you saying you idiot?

You know more than that.

When he was in the crazy house,

They called him Dummy/

In the crazy house?

What was a fella like Chuck

Mool doing in a crazy house?
