The Unholy Four Page #3

He couldn't remember

anything about himself.

Well how bout that for luck.

It sounds like we could help

Chuck Mool, to find his memory.

Yeah, you're right.

That 'd be a real neighborly thing to do.

It'd be kind of shock for old man Caldwell.

Let's hope he ain't forgot a simple

thing like how to pull a trigger.

You sure have a convincing style.

Be a little hard to forget you.

Now why don't you rest up, for

when I get back, hmm, alright?

Nothing.

I just turned the whole town upside down.

Where would he be?

Ain't like him to disappear.

Sure never figured, I'd wind

up as a God damn baby sitter.

Sh*t.

Chuck Mool.

It is you boy.

What's happened to you?

Where have you been?

I've been mourning you for three years.

What the Hell has got in to you Chuck?

It ain't possible you don't know me.

Your own brother, Torn.

Then you are my father.

You don't recognize us do you?

What's happened to you son?

All I remember...

is the last three years.

We'll help you son.

You got plenty of time.

- You got no idea how happy this will make Sheila.

Sheila.

Howdy.

Friends of yours?

Something more.

This is my father,

and my brother, Tom.

Sure glad to know you.

I take it you're both friends of Chucks?

Well it'd be a pleasure to have you

both over, to help us celebrate tonight.

It'd been mighty nice.

Real kind of you.

See you later, Son.

Tom, that's wonderful.

Are you sure?

Real sure, Sheila.

What's more is he's lost his memory.

Now you listen to me,

We got him convinced that

we're his family, Sheila.

And he's gotta go right on thinking so.

You don't play along, and I

swear to God I'll kill you.

Clear?

There's something else I oughta tell you.

He's been sleeping with

one of the saloon girls.

So don't go thinking he's

still in love with you.

Cause he ain't.

He doesn't even know who you are.

It's the best thing that

could have happened.

Now finish getting ready.

If you're not downstairs in ten

minutes, I'll come and get you.

Remember Sheila,

He's your brother now.

My old man would die,

if I showed up again.

Something doesn't add up Silver.

But damned if I can put a finger on it.

It won't be long before we find that out.

Too perfect.

Your story is incredible, why,

It's difficult to believe you're even here.

I oughta tell you Chuck,

We were convinced that you were ambushed,

and shot down by the Caldwell's.

The Caldwells?

You gotta remember, you can't expect

Chuck to know all about Caldwell.

Yeah, It's hard for you.

You get used to that.

You see Chuck, the Caldwell's just

about own the whole territory.

They got just about over

10,000 head of cattle.

One by one, they forced the

squatters and small farmers to quit.

Know we're the only one's holding out.

I don't know how much longer

we'll be able to though.

After you disappeared, things got worse.

They plan to scare us out.

And there's no limit to what they'll try.

The Sheriff found our older brother

Jimmy over by the cemetery.

He's been shot a couple

of times in the back.

It was John Caldwell's doin.

Cold blooded killer. And someday,

I'll see that he pays for it.

Jimmy was born after me.

He was only 21.

He used to follow you all over the place.

You sure did mean a lotto him, Chuck.

When you disappeared, he was convinced

that Caldwell had gotten rid of you.

So he set out for the cemetery,

Caldwell's there every night.

And that's all we know.

Next morning, Jimmy was dead.

Another victim of Caldwell's.

He died trying to avenge me?

And I can't even remember

what he looked like.

Yeah, and the Sheriff told us there was

no case unless we could find a witness.

You can fight.

- Caldwell's faster than any one of us.

He sure ain't gonna be

beaten in a show down.

Course you could put a bullet in his back,

but we ain't murderers, Chuck.

I hope you aren't trying to talk

Chuck into a show down with Caldwell.

Sheila my dear. I figured you'd be

real happy to see your brother.

I'm so glad you're back Chuck.

It's been so long.

Now shall we eat?

After all, this is a celebration.

Ain't you gonna eat?

I just ain't hungry.

Yeah, really does my heart good to have...

John and the others left really early

this morning to round up strays.

I figured they shoulda

been back by now.

Your memory will come back someday, Son.

Don't you worry.

Folks let's drink to the

return of Chuck Mool.

Welcome back Chuck.

Woody!

Woody!

Woody!

You haven't said a thing about

your girlfriends, Chuck.

In three years you'd a had one or two huh?

When you were here, I knew many

girls who had eyes for you.

Of course, you wouldn't recall.

Don't mind your sister, Chuck.

She thinks love makes the world go round.

I have a feeling some people would be

surprised how much that word means to me.

John, what happened to you?

Sheila, this is no time to be fighting.

You just stay there, Chuck boy.

You and me gotta decide what

to do about the Caldwells

It ain't gonna be easy,

but now you're back again. Maybe we can

work out some kind of plan together.

There has to be a way to stop em.

And we're gonna find it, Son.

Can I talk to you a minute, Dad?

Sure, excuse me.

Didn't you miss me?

Sheila, uh.

We were just gonna run off

around twenty animals,

When they came out of the dark.

Then I don't know what happened.

I just turned around and ran for it.

Don't you ever learn, you idiot?

I figured you'd know enough to know to make sure

you weren't bein watched in the first place.

We did Tom. Caldwells weren't there

when we first started cutting them out.

Now you listen good, John.

Because I ain't gonna

repeat it to ya.

Oh my darling, Chuck.

Sheila, what do you mean?

I don't understand.

But, don't you remember anything?

My mind is confused.

I remember something.

Very vaguely.

I'll do all I can to help you.

You used to love me, Chuck.

It ain't too polite to but in on

you like this, but I gotta, Chuck.

The old man sent me to look for you.

You try any more of that love talk, and

I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

There was about twenty of em.

Led by old man Caldwell.

I only got away cause I played dead.

They killed Jake and Sam and

then ran off half the herd.

We ain't ever gonna be able to stop em Son.

What are you gonna do?

I'll kill em.

You told me he goes to the

cemetery every night.

I'll wait for him there.

And I'll kill him.

You want me to come along with you?

- No.

He doesn't know I'm back, and

that's all the help I'm gonna need.

Take care Chuck, he's quick and clever.

You only got the one shot.

Chuck Mool to the rescue.

I sure hope old man

Caldwell lives long enough

to see who shot him.

All muscle, no brains I guess.

In case you didn't know, there

are guards upstairs all night.

Now make up your mind.

Are you here to steal,

or to help Chuck Mool?

Who's side you on?

They say you are his friend, and if you

can save his life, I'm on your side.

And the gold?

Trust me, and there will

be gold for you after.
