Yes, let's leave.

No you were born the day I met you.

And, really, am I glad

- All right, Steve?

- Good.

- Have you eaten enough?

- Yes

But my father was a teacher.

And I was his best student.

and a little English...

... and want to leave.

I will not leave.

- Do not worry.

But you yes that's wrong.

Jeremy, please

do not go.

I'm sorry.

I have to go.

Mean anything to you that I will pray

?

Jo. You know you're

for me?

The person I care

more than anyone in the world.

But I can not do what you ask.

We live in the middle

of nowhere.

Hundreds of miles of a civilized place...

... where the only law is mine.

Since I came here,

this to you I said,...

... robbed me, harassed, attacked and persecuted

everywhere.

Now

have killed one of my men.

If I find my horses,

I find the murderer.

And if I find the murderer,

choked him.

I have to fulfill my own law, Jo.

A law that has allowed me to be

owns half of the horses of the West.

Goodbye, Jo.

If you saw the damage that

that makes you, Jeremy.

You other.

You are sick.

You get the fever hanging.

Where you heard it rush

on the gallows?

... when you took a horse thief and ahorcaste

- And what served you hang him!

He died, something died in

and you!

- You are not the law!

- I'm the only law that I have!

...

... I lived alone a long time, Jo.

Waity and we killed them all day

Even when the wind rose and

erased footprints,...

No never find them.

We will continue.

I tell you when I return.

What, do you see anything?

Hence not spend.
