02x30 - Badge of the Outsider

[ g*nshots ]

[ g*nshots continue ]

You all right?

I guess so.

Make 'em count.

We're on the
short end of this.

[ g*nshots ]

[ g*nshots ]

If you wanna stay,
you're on your own.

We should've made out
four against two.

Well, we didn't.

That's one
of Longley's men.

Must have been after
the strongbox.

The payroll.

It's a small one, too.

Doc Longley must be
getting hard up.

That ain't the worst
of it, Slim.

We k*lled two
of Longley's men.

You'll likely be
hearing from him.

[ music ]

DOC: You got just exactly
what you deserve,

a lot of trouble and pain.

Some men learn from pain,

and others are just
too bullheaded

to learn from anything.

And I've got a sneaking idea

that's just what's
the matter with you.

And you know what
I'm talking about, too.

He's got no corner
on bullheadedness.

We got edgy, Doc.

Been sitting around
too long doing nothing.

Mm-hmm, so you decided
to go out and do something,

four of you.

Jump a stage
with a driver

and a man
riding shotgun.

And a payroll.

Oh, yes,
and a payroll.

You wanna show it
to me now

so we can
all count it

and see how much
it amounts to?

We didn't get it.

You didn't get it.

Two men dead and another
with a b*llet in him,

and you didn't get it?

You said you got edgy
doing nothing.

Anyone else getting edgy?

I wanna tell you something
about this payroll.

It comes through here
once every two months.

And if we grabbed it every time
it came through here,

and nothing else,
we'd all starve to death.

[ grunting ]

Do a nice, clean job...

should've been a doctor.

You know the mean thing
about all of this?

Tommy and Alec
getting k*lled.

My little Cindy
doesn't like k*lling.

How do you feel
about it, Gip?

Oh, what's mean,
Mr. Longley,

is they went off
without your leave.

If you had to planed it,
things would have gone smooth.

DOC: That's the word--planning.

Now, I've been planning
something for a long time,

something big, something
really worth going after.

And the mean thing
about this whole ruckus

is we've got to lay low now

until it all quiets down.

I don't want anyone else
feeling edgy.

I've got enough
on my mind as it is...

or have you forgotten what
we've got in the back room.

This man riding shotgun,

are you sure
you recognized him?

Slim Sherman,
no mistake.

Gip?

GIP: Yeah, Doc?

I want you to ride out
and pick up Slim Sherman.

Bring him back here,
all right?

Right.

You don't wanna go
without this.

You should make that,
"I don't wanna go."

Somebody's got to go
to Cheyenne

to sell those cattle.

Slim, you got any idea
what you're up against?

Any notion of what kind
of a man Doc Longley is?

Well, I know what kind
of a man he was.

Could teach a kid
how to ride and set his bones

if he didn't do it right.

What, you saying
you know him?

And he hauled me out
of a prairie fire once,

when I was about six,
saved my life.

No, I'm saying I knew him.

One thing's for sure,

he's not famous
for saving lives anymore.

I know.

If he wanted me
bad enough, though,

the two of us
couldn't hold him off.

Nobody could.

Well, I... guess you'd
better get moving, Jess.

Here's some ...
for your saddlebag, Jess.

Thanks, Jud.

You sure you won't
change your mind, Slim?

Yeah. You just hit old Carney
up good for those cattle.

The shape this place is in,
that money will come in handy.

Well, there's sure
a lot of commotion

about Doc Longley lately.

You know, a while back,
I figured he must be
dead or something.

Yeah, he's been gone
for a long time.

He brought a ranch
just west of Laramie

a couple of months ago.

Everyone else around here
is afeared of him.

Are you?

I don't know, Jud, maybe.

Jud?

I'm gonna need
some flour,

some bacon,
and some coffee...

and, uh... if you
bargain real good,

you'll have a little
left over for a beer or two.

You sure act like
I'm going off into town.

The sooner
you act like it,

the sooner
you'll get there.

Well, now, much obliged.
A man needs a change

of scene now and then.

Don't forget your hat.

What?

Oh.

Well, of course
you might need me...

in case this
Doc Longley

takes a notion
to come for you.

If you don't
get into town,

I'm likely to starve
to death before he comes.

[ horse neighing ]

Jud?

Jud, is that you?

Nice and easy now,
Sherman.

Mr. Longley
wants to see you.

Tonight?

It'll be morning
time we get there.

Let's get going.

Do you think
Mr. Longley would mind

if I got my hat
and coat?

All right.

But don't gravel me,
friend.

Leave it be.

You will have no need
for that.

All right, easy.

Now, we're going
to Doc Longley,

but my way.

Get your hat.

Well, you've got nerve
bringing him here like this.

Is Longley around?

You'll see him.

And spend the rest
of your days
wishing you hadn't.

Just mind your tongue
and tell him Sherman's here.

[ door opens ]

It was dark, Mr. Longley.

I could've managed him if--if
I could've seen a little better.

I don't wanna see you
for a while.

This is no time
for you either, Cindy.

[ hoof steps ]

It can't be.

Will Sherman's boy?

That's right.

Why, you were a towheaded,
tangled foot kid.

That was 20 years ago.

Twenty years.

Now you're a man.

You were a man then.

Anyone that talks
like that to me

is either very brave

or...just a downright fool.

I'm gonna find out
which one you are.

Slim and I understand
each other, at least for now.

Pa is dead, ain't he?

Yeah, some years back.

You didn't call me out here
to talk about that.

Worked hisself
to death, didn't he?

Sit down.

Honest work, Doc.

Ranching.

That never hurt anybody...

never k*lled anybody.

Except yourself.

You're different
from your pa.

k*lled two of my men
and wounded another.

I didn't have much choice.

The strong survive, my boy.

The weak suffer and die.

That the way it is?

Take a look at yourself.

You're a pretty
good example of it,

the way you handled Gip Rosen

when he came out to get you.

Well, I don't expect that

to be all right with you.

I wanna show you something.

Come with me.

It's the deputy,

close friend of the sheriff
of Laramie.

Shot in the back.

No mistake about that.

Did you k*ll him?

There's nothing
the sheriff of Laramie

would rather believe
than that.

Have you seen enough?

S'pose I told you that corpse
was planted on me,

would you believe it?

Just on your say so?

No.

No, of course you wouldn't.

Nobody else would.

Truth of the matter is
it's exactly what happened.

I didn't k*ll that deputy.

Maybe you made arrangements
to have it done.

If I want anybody dead,

I'll do my own k*lling.

No, sir, somebody is trying
to make me trouble.

Someone's trying
to make you trouble.

Poor Doc Longley, wanted
from the Dakotas to Texas

and back to Wyoming
for at least 40 years,

for robbery and k*lling.

Now, why would anyone
wanna make trouble for you?

You don't understand, do you?

I sure don't.

Well, let me tell you something
about what you've just said.

All that stuff
on the wanted posters

and all the robbing and k*lling,

sure, I didn't deny any of it,

and in 40 years, I was never
caught for any of it either,

at least not enough to matter.

And that makes it all right.

Let them come
and get me for it.

I'm fair game
for all them crimes.

But don't let them
badger me,

put a rope around my neck
for something I didn't do.

You trying to say it's
a matter of principle

or something like that?

That's exactly it.

Only it don't go
far enough.

The measure of a man
is not always what he'll do,

but what he won't do.

I never shot a man
in the back in my life

and you've got to believe that.

It's the truth, and I swear it.

I don't see how it matters
what I believe.

You've got to believe it...

to convince the sheriff
that it's true.

Now, wait a minute.

He swore to get me
the first time

I set foot in the territory,

and this deputy business,
that's all he'll need.

And you got the idea that
I'm gonna go to the sheriff

and square things for you?

That's why I sent for you.

The Sherman name means a lot
in this part of the country,

and I know that a word from you

would carry a lot of weight.

You wouldn't be asking me
to do this for you, Doc,

because you saved my life once?

I'm asking you to think
it over for a while.

I'm getting up in the years,

I don't wanna die for sh**ting
somebody in the back--

something I didn't do
and never could do.

You don't need me, Doc.

You got a lot of men
out there that'll jump

anytime you pull the string.

Yes, I've got
a lot of men,

but I need one man
I can trust.

Maybe I need a friend.

Doc, honey,
something wrong?

No, Cindy,
I'm just thinking.

Well, you ain't eating.

It's not like you
not to eat.

You know, boys,

I've been telling Slim here
how he can help us.

His standing with the
sheriff of Laramie

is somewhat higher than mine.

I figured he could
talk to the sheriff

and convince him
that I had nothing to do

with that body in the back room.

And I think the sheriff
would listen to him.

What do you think, Davey?

I've no hand to know
about sheriffs.

That all you got to say?

Right now, it's all
I got to say.

Well, I'm dead against it.

Why?

We got no reason
to trust.

The rest of us are sworn
loyal to you, Mr. Longley,

and we don't want no outsider

doing what's rightly ours
to do for you.

Besides, ain't no one dare
to stand up to Doc Longley,

least of all a two-bit
badge toter.

Most men would back off
just the sound of his name.

You let us
handle it for you.

You know you can
trust us.

Yes, I know.

I trusted you
to bring in Slim.

How's your wrist feel?

Just the same, I'm proud
to ride with you.

Like to hear Sherman
say the same.

I don't ride with him.

What have you got to say
on this, Cindy?

What's best for you, Doc,
that's what I want.

If you're sure he won't
turn against you,

but you got to be sure.

You can't be sure
about anything, Cindy,

or anybody.

Nothing's happened
to change my mind, Doc.

I'm not gonna do it.

I'm not gonna play middle
between you and the law.

Fella in the middle might
just get it from both sides.

[ door opens, closes ]

Slim.

I want you to think
over something.

I could have buried
that deputy off some place

and nobody would've found him

or even connected me with him.

I could have done that.

I can't figure out
why you didn't.

Well, when you start
covering up a lie,

it begins to look
like the truth.

Maybe.

At least you wouldn't have
to waste your time on me.

I don't think
I'm wasting my time.

Your friend is driving
your cattle to Cheyenne,

is that right?

What about him?

Be nice if he got there
and back without any trouble.

He'd better.

I told you, boy,
I need your help.

I didn't k*ll
that deputy

and I want somebody
to believe that.

[ g*nsh*t ]

Doc, Doc,
are you all right?

I'm all right.

Now, get over here
where it's safe.

Stay right there.

You make out
who it is?

Came from those trees
over by the trailer.

Don't anybody fire
till tell you.

GIP:
It's the sheriff and a posse.

I can see that.

Well, they fired on you.
You're gonna leave
a go at that?

If they were trying
to hit us, they would've.

DOC: Hold it.

All right, Longley,

come out or get shot out.

No need for you
to go out there.

We can pick them off
easy from here.

Nothing about this
is gonna be easy.

Don't suppose we can count
on you to fight with us.

Look at your chances, Doc,

or anybody's chances
in a fight like this.

We're sh**ting from cover.

And they got us outnumbered.

And one good blaze
of fire'd cover them

so they could blast
right through that door.

You got a way to stop them?

You've got one minute, Longley.

Mort, it's me,
Slim Sherman.

I'm coming out.

He's only saving his own neck,
Mr. Longley, that's all.

You know how long a minute is?

DOC: Let him go, Gip.

He'll only make it worse.

I said let him go.

I'm trusting you, boy.

You're in strange
company, Slim.

Yeah, it looks like.

Well, he can't
be holding you.

You're wearing your g*n.

You interested in
saving lives, Mort?

Not Longley's.

Do you think you got the stomach

for all the k*lling
that's gonna take place

if you tried to take him?

I've got the stomach for seeing
Doc Longley lying dead,

anytime, anywhere.

Well, he won't k*ll easy,

and he won't die alone.

I mean to take him, Slim,

and right now,
that's all that counts.

You mind having him alive?

I can bear it, knowing that

he won't be cheating
a rope much longer.

All right.

He'll be riding into Laramie

peaceably by noon tomorrow.

You seem awful sure of that.

I'll guarantee it.

I'll bring him to you myself.

What do you figure
they're talking about?

I don't know.

Well, I've got an answer
for that cowpoke.

We sh**t on your say so,
don't we, Doc?

Right.

I don't understand it,

us in here
and them out there.

We ain't never gonna get
a better crack at them.

Maybe we will.

They're riding off.

Sherman.

What did you tell him?

Told him I was gonna take you
to town with me tomorrow,

peaceably, to stand trial.

What?If you wanted a fair chance...

You call that a fair chance--

riding into town with you?

Mr. Longley
goes to town,

the rest of us
ride in with him.

Are you all that anxious to die?

Now, you understand me, Doc.

I'm not saying you got
the best chance in the world,

but riding into town
with me tomorrow

is the only one you got.

Doc?

Doc, honey, he's right.

What do you know about right?

Don't yell at me, Gip.

I know what's best for Doc
better than anybody.

And I care more than anybody.

Well, a man sure don't need
a woman thinking for him,

a man sure
don't need that.

All right, all right!

If I ride into town
with you,

the sheriff will wipe me out
and you know it.

There'll be a hearing.

There'll have to be.

A hearing?
Who will hear me?

Now, look, I don't like
any of this.

I didn't ask myself in.

But you claim you didn't
k*ll that deputy.

Now here's your chance
to prove it.

Where you going?

Going back to the ranch.

You be here early
tomorrow morning.

I'll be ready.

You trust him,
don't you, Davey?

I never trusted
anybody in my life.

It's too late
to start now.

I ain't never seen
a town so uneasy.

This business
of the sheriff's deputy

has got folks
so they're ain't

a level head
in Laramie.

Slim, you're just
a plain fool

if you go riding in there
with Doc Longley.

Well, maybe the Doc's
not guilty.

Well, maybe he ain't,

but he's sure to get
himself ambushed

if he shows up in town.

And the man riding
next to him...

no more than
a sitting duck.

I got to ease up
a little, Slim.

My horse is getting tired
and so am I.

There's some water
and shade trees ahead.

Come on.All right.

It's good to get the
kinks out of your legs.

Can't blame
the old horse, though.

It's, uh, it's no picnic
hauling me around.

Spent a lot of years
in the saddle.

Yeah.

But my riding days
are over.

I can't say
I'm sorry.

I'm tired, Slim.

Well, we'll
rest here a spell.

Oh, I don't
mean that.

I'm--I'm old and tired,
inside and out.

Trying to live up
to a legend

is a wearisome thing.

Live up to a legend?

Legends are always young,

full of strength and fire,

full of life.

But not so with man,
the years come on him hard

and the flesh comes
on him weak and soft...

and you wanna quit
but you can't.

The legend won't let you.

Are you saying you wanna quit?

I have quit...
a long time ago.

Sure you have.

You got a g*ng
that robs stages, kills.

You got half the Wyoming
territory scared

just knowing you're around.

They're only scared of the name.

I haven't robbed anything,

and I haven't k*lled anybody,

and I haven't ordered it done.

I only came back here
because I was born here.

When a man gets up in years,

he gets a hankering
to come back

where he was born.

And I only wanted to come home.

And settle down with a g*ng
around you.

In spite of what you might say,

they're a fine bunch of men.

Well, let's just put it,
I don't like crowds.

Maybe you don't need a crowd.

Maybe you're not afraid
of being alone.

I've had it for 40 years, Slim,

always somebody saying,

"Yes, sir, Mr. Longley,

you're absolutely right,
Mr. Longley."

"You know what
it's all about, Mr. L--"

I don't think I could
go on living without them.

Well, it's like you say, Doc,

they're a fine bunch of men.

Yes, and yet...one of them
k*lled that deputy.

Do you know that?

Well, it's got to be.

No one else would plant
a corpse on me,

no one else would risk
being seen.

Of course, I don't
rule out any of them.

We better
get moving, Doc.

Forty years and I can't
count on a single soul.

I've got to trust to the memory
of a towheaded kid.

I got no one else
I can trust.

I wish you weren't dependent
on me so much, Doc.

You're liable
to be disappointed.

No, I don't think so.

You know, your friend
that's driving the cattle?

You don't need
to worry about him.

No harm will come to him.

I just wanted to make sure
you'd help me.

And I've been thinking,

I'd be rough in town,

and I didn't want you
to ride into that

without knowing
the truth.

Just about
makes us even.

You know when you were
talking about Jess,

I didn't really
believe you.

See what I mean
about being alone, Slim?

Gives a man an edgy feeling.

Now, if this was a border town
or Old Mexico,

I'd say we hit here
right at siesta time.

I wouldn't
call that siesta.

Ain't one of my men.

Seem awful sure
of that.

We got the other side
of the street.

See that first building
down there?

What a fool I was,

and I believed you'd ride
into town with me alone.

Ain't that I didn't
trust you, Slim,

but I couldn't take
a chance on that sheriff.

I guess the way he's got
the other side covered,

you figured each other
out about right.

Blame me?

I'm not blaming anyone
but myself.

[ g*nshots ]

Is this what you call
a peaceful surrender?

I said I'd bring him in.

I did.

How come your men
didn't try

to k*ll me sooner,
Sheriff?

Maybe I want that job
for myself.

Inside, Longley.

Might be they'll
vote you

a bigger badge
for this, Sheriff.

Might be.

When's the hearing?

Will 2:00
be convenient for you?

I'm betting there's
a hanging before sunset.

At sunset today,
you mean?

Yeah, that oughtta give me
about the best odds.

Ten to one,
that's the highest.

No, I don't see
Doc hanging today.

But sure as sin, they'll
try to string him up

before there's a trial.

You betting he's
just gonna hang,
that's even money.

We all know that.

It's just a question
when, Charlie.

Give me some of that
sunset today bet.

You got it.

Hey, how are the odds
on a lynchin'?

You want
something, Slim?

What are the odds
in Doc Longley

getting a fair trial?

Well, we sure ain't got
any money bet that way.

You wanna put
some on it?

[ indistinct chatter ]

[ pounding the gavel ]

Order.

Order.

Now, then, Mr. Longley
has gone on record

as denying the m*rder
with which he is charged.

I am bound to ask
if there's anyone here

who will step forward

and testify against him.

This is what I was
telling you about, judge.

Decent folks who've got
families to think about,

they don't dare to testify

against this known
outlaw and k*ller.

Well then,
in that case

we'll have to call
on you, Sheriff.

You've been duly
sworn in,

so you may
take the stand.

Yes, sir.

I had to go to Cheyenne
a Sunday a week.

I left my Deputy
Bert Hanshaw in charge.

As I was leaving,
Bert hollered out at me

to maybe bring Doc Longley in
while I was gone.

Thinking that Bert
was just joshing me,

I hollered back at him,
"Sure, you go right ahead."

But you didn't think
the defendant

would submit to arrest?

MORT:
No, sir, not him.

Well, when I got back from
Cheyenne a couple of days ago,

I heard that Bert
had gone out after Doc,

only he didn't come back.

Only his horse came in
with a bloody saddle...

and there are folks
who would tell you

they saw Bert riding up
the Longley ranch trail

that Monday.

Did anyone witness
the actual sh**ting?

You'll never get
anyone to admit it.

MORT:
Like I was telling you, judge,

everyone here is scared
to death of this man.

JUDGE: But there's no doubt
in your mind, is there, Sheriff?

MORT:
Not a doubt in the world.

Mmm. You got anything
else to say?

No, nothing.

Except I sure want to see
justice done here.

You may step down,
Sheriff.

And now you,
Doc Longley,

take the stand.

[ indistinct chatter ]

Were you home
that Monday

when Bert Hanshaw came
riding up to your place?

I was there, but he didn't
come after me.

[ crowd muttering ]

Well, it says here
that you don't deny

having the body
of the deceased.

No, I don't deny it,
but I didn't k*ll him.

That corpse was planted on me.

Can you prove it?

DOC: Not if no one
believes me, I can't.

JUDGE: Well, tell me this.

Can you prove you didn't
k*ll Bert Hanshaw?

That's what I came here for.

But it's beginning
to look like I'm guilty

until I prove myself innocent.

Your record shows that
you're a known criminal.

We have evidence here
that says that Bert Hanshaw

was last seen going out
to your place

where you admit
the body was found.

We also know
there was bad blood

between the two of you.

That still doesn't prove
that I k*lled him.

JUDGE:
But it's mighty incriminating

on the face of it.

If you didn't k*ll him,

you've got to do more
than deny it.

You've got to have proof.

You mean somebody else
to testify

that I didn't do it?

JUDGE:
Yes, you've got to have proof

that you didn't do it.

Just my word.

Well, that being the case,

JUDGE: I order the defendant
to be bound over for trial

on the charge of m*rder.

Date of said trial to be
posted for public notice.

Hearing's adjourned.

[ indistinct chatter ]

I guess I should have known.

I got something
to say to you, Sherman.

Help yourself.

Now, don't get the idea

I got any good feeling
for you. I haven't.

At least you're going
along with the trend.

I think I'd have
to leave Laramie today

to find many friends.

Do you know who tried
to k*ll the Doc today

when you and him
were entering the jail?

Nope.

I guess the Doc's running
out of friends, too.

I'm not interested in your
fine brand of humor, Sherman.

I just wanna tell you
what I think.

I've been looking where
that shot must've come from

and, uh, there wasn't
a law man

on that side of Front Street.

Are you saying it was
one of Doc's men?

Somebody with the stomach
for sh**ting in the back--

somebody who might have
k*lled that deputy, maybe.

Yeah, I think the Doc
would agree with you.

He thinks it was
one of his men, too.

Had to be.

Nobody else could have
gone in there

without being recognized.

I guess you're about
as close to the Doc
as anyone, aren't you?

I'll tell you something
about me, Sherman.

There's not much I haven't done,

not much I wouldn't try,

but sh**ting in the back,

that's for a gutless man.

I'm just not made that way.

Not many men are.

I'm not a schemer, either,
and I don't do muddy work...

like planting a body
on another man.

With me, trouble's always
right out in the open.

I don't know why
Doc listened to you.

I don't know why
any of us did.

I didn't ask any of you to.

You think they'll
give him a chance?

Well, they won't.

They've already
made up their minds

and you led him
right into the trap.

Don't waste your breath
on him, Cindy.

A man like him ain't
worth talking to.

You got to deal
with him in other ways.

You tried dealing
with me before.

You wanna try it again?

Look, Slim,

Doc may not mean
much to you,

you don't know him
the way I do,

but in a lot of ways,
he's a decent man,

and I don't know many
of them kind, mister.

Better not get too close
to him, Cindy.

Fellow turned another man
in might just hit a woman.

Take me out of here.

Take yourself out
if you don't like it.

Man'd have to blind
not to see

what's been going on
behind Doc's back.

What do you mean,
Gip and me?

Where'd you get
that crazy notion?

Where I got
it don't matter,

not for now, anyway.

That's enough.

Who is it?

One of Doc Longley's men.

On your feet,

come on, get up.

Get out of here.

Now, who started it?I did.

Sheriff, they just busted
Doc Longley out,

he's getting away.

You know anything
about this?

You know better
than that.

Gip, Doc, uh, won't hang
around the ranch long,

if that's
where he's heading.

You know it is. He wouldn't
leave the territory

without digging up the money
he's got hid out there.

You're figuring
on going with me,

you better
change your clothes,

because you better be able
to ride like a man.

That'll be easy with
that kind of money.

Looks like they broke
him out with a crowbar.

Think they went
to the ranch?

No, Frank says
they rode out of town

the opposite direction.

We'll ride out that way,

try to pick up
their tracks.

If we don't find
anything,

we can head back
by the ranch later.

You don't need to make
this stand with me, Davey,

nobody's after you.

When you start making
pretty speeches,

we're caught
in a b*llet.

Time's getting
short, Doc.

Why don't you
go along, Davey,

let me handle this?

I'm staying.

You better
get used to it.

I'm not afraid
to face him alone.

In fact, I'm looking
forward to it.

You talk like you know
who's gonna show up here first.

Don't you?

I wish I was as sure
of everything

as I am at that.

Davey, I got to tell you
something.

You know that big job
I was planning?

Well, that was a lot of hogwash.

There wasn't any big job.

Now, how am I gonna hear anybody

if you keep jawing like that?

I didn't think any
of you'd stay around

if you didn't think
there was big money in it.

[ g*nshots ]

Davey.

You go fire
through that door.

[ g*nshots ]

Right there, old man.

You stay right there.

You must have
k*lled Davey

or you wouldn't have
gotten through to me.

Uh-huh.

He was in the way.

All right, Doc,

now start digging up
that money.

I thought you didn't like
k*lling, Cindy.

You used to tell me that
it made you all sick inside.

You look fine now.

DOC: You both do.

Don't waste time talking, Doc.

Gip and me, we're in a hurry.

Well, that's too bad.

I was counting on the three
of us talking it out.

Where is it?

Never believe an older man, Gip.

They tell tall tales.

There ain't any money.

There never was.

Heh heh.

You're lying.

Gip, what if he isn't?

He better be.

Where is it?
Where is it?

If you think it's here,
you'll find it.

Here.

Doc, you tell me,

I've done a lot for you,
Doc, I earned that money.

Now, stop your ...
and help me look.

You, you were sure.

You're so smart
all the time.

Well, you find it.

Maybe I don't
need you, after all.

I've handled
everything alone so far.

You never had
an idea in your life.

GIP: Make some trouble
for him, you said.

Well, I made it, didn't I?

I did a job on that
deputy, didn't I?

I've had about enough
of listening to you.

[ g*nshots ]

GIP: Doc?

Ain't nowhere you can hide,

I'll find you.

[ g*nshots ]

[ g*nshots ]

DOC: Slim.
Help me.

How's that?Fine.

Sheriff, Gip k*lled
your deputy...

not that it matters.

You can tell Cindy

she found the money,
all right.

It's in a box
under that bale of hay

she's sitting on.

We found
the money, Doc.

You know, Slim,

I don't feel
tired anymore...

and I'm not afraid.

I trust everybody.

[ wheezing and coughing ]

Wait.

Wait. What about me?

Don't leave me here alone!

Well, how's that
look to you?

Hey, what'd you do,
clean old Carney out?

Ah, you couldn't clean out
a cattle bar like him.

Yeah, I stopped over
in Laramie on the way back,

heard the darnest story
about you.

You did?

What kind of a story?

Something about you bringing
Doc Longley in single-handed,

something about you
taking up sides with him

against nearly
the whole town.

Well, you didn't
believe it, did you?

Believe a story
like that about you?

Of course, I didn't.

You wouldn't do anything
like that, would you?

Or would you?
