04x28 - The Stranger

[bunniefuu]

[ cows mooing ]

Ya-hoo!
Ya! Ya!

Ya! Ya!

Oh, move now.
Ya!

SLIM: Jess.

What is it, Slim?

Not so loud.

Look at those tracks.

Our butchering stranger
is close by.

Yeah, and those tracks
are pretty fresh.

This trail leads about
a half a mile over that hill

into a wall of rocks.

This time our stranger
has got himself into a box.

One of our prime yearlings.

Come on, let's take him.

Nothing left but the hide.

Yeah, well, he can't get
very far toting that beef.

This time we got him cold.

I see something, Jess,
come on.

This way, Slim.

Must be half mountain goat
and half ghost.

Well, another $10 gold piece
for our collection.

Sure beats all,
don't he?

Always pays, always skins
a hide out nice and clean

like it was his own beef.

Yeah, well, it's not
his own beef, it's our beef.

We oughta be the ones to say
who buys it and who don't.

Sure.

But how can you stay mad
at a man with a conscience?

A man who always leaves
a $10 gold piece.

And how long you think
it's gonna be

before he runs out
of $10 gold pieces...

or a conscience?

Here's a hide for to you
to scrape and salt down.

And mind you,
scrape it good.

Sure, Slim.

Jess, that hide.

Not again?

That's right, Daisy.

We just sold
another prime yearling.

That makes six.

In six weeks.

If this keeps up,
we'll have to hire somebody

to guard our hoard
of gold pieces.

At least one thing is certain,
whoever that stranger is,

he's sure got an appetite
for our beef.

But a yearling a week.

Why, that's enough to feed
a whole family for a month.

With plenty to spare.

What he can't eat,
he's probably salting
and putting away someplace.

But all that beef for one man
doesn't make sense.

Well, I never have heard yet
how to k*ll half a cow, Daisy.

I wish I thought
it was as funny as you do.

Well, he must be desperate to
hide out in those awful canyons.

Why do you suppose
he's hiding up there?

Probably running away
from the law.

He's no k*ller,
that's for sure.

He could have shot us both like
a couple of blind mules today.

Well, he's had his fun,
but it's gone far enough.

Slim, aren't you gonna eat
your blackberry pudding?

Mike went all the way
over to the Wilkins and back

for those blackberries.

In a minute, Daisy.

Right now we have
a decision to make.

Don't you think
it's about time

we notify Sheriff Cory
about this stranger?

Oh, come on now,
the decision can't be that hard.

If he is a fugitive,
we've got to tell Mort.

Yeah, but we don't for sure
if he's on the run.

Granted, but we've got
to think of the future.

And what happens
when he runs out of ammunition?

He's either got to
raid the ranch house

or waylay one of us.

Now somebody
could get hurt, and bad.

What do you think, Daisy?

Well, it didn't seem like much
when it started,

but I guess Slim's right.

We got to think
how it'll end.

He wouldn't hurt anybody,
I know he wouldn't.

How do you know?

I just know, that's all.

Mike,
is that the whole truth?

No.

Let us hear the rest of it,
please.

Well, last week
I went hunting

for another horned toad
to keep Betsy company.

I went looking up in the canyons
around the caves.

I slipped
and fell into a big hole.

I tried to climb up,
but I couldn't.

I yelled for a long time.

Then I started to cry.

I guess the stranger heard me
'cause he came and got me out.

You went hunting horned toads
up in the canyons,

when you know you're absolutely
forbidden to go up there alone?

Why didn't you tell us
about this stranger?

Afraid of a trip
to the woodshed?

What did the stranger
look like?

Well, you talked to him,
didn't you?

Yes.

What did he look like?

Was he tall, short,
fat, skinny?

Sort of average, I guess.

You guess?
Well, didn't you get
a good look at him?

- Yes.
- Then what do you
remember about him?

His eyes, they were kind of,
sort of gentle.

[ horses approaching ]

- Good evening, Slim.
- Hi, Mort.

Miss Daisy, Jess.

Sorry to barge in
on you like this.

But we've got an emergency
on our hands.

This is Mr. Vanton Madox.

He's a specially appointed
lawman from Colorado.

These are his deputies.

They've trailed an escaped
m*rder*r here to Laramie.

To be exact,
right to your front door.

Which of you is Mr. Sherman?

I am.

Mort, the coffee is hot.

You'll be welcome
to discuss your business inside.

We're in a hurry, ma'am.

But we'll accept,
Miss Daisy, thank you.

Good.

Now what's this about a m*rder*r
being on my doorstep?

The fugitive's name
is Emil Viktor.

He is a Swiss immigrant,

who was legally tried
and sentenced to hang

by the circuit court
in Madox, Colorado.

How he escaped
isn't important.

What is important is that
he's a cold-blooded k*ller,

a man without the slightest
shred of conscience.

And he's hiding out
in the high canyon country

just beyond your place.

You sure of that, mister?
Nobody made of flesh
and blood

can survive
in those canyons for long.

Oh, this man will survive
until we hunt him down.

He's an experienced
mountaineer.

He's living on beef
off your ranch, Slim.

We found where
he'd slaughtered one today.

There's fresh blood
and boot prints.

More than
one set of boot prints.

Do you know anything
about it?

Yeah, Jess and I found
the same thing you did.

We searched the canyons
above the spot.

Found some scorched rocks
and a rattlesnake.

Why didn't you
report it to me?

Well, I figured
it could wait till morning.

Well, it can't wait.

Not if you care about the safety
of your women and children.

We've managed
to protect our own,

and I expect we'll manage
after you're gone.

Oh, now take it easy, Slim.

All Mr. Madox meant
was that

we're dealing with
a desperate fugitive.

Maybe Mr. Sherman
would like to see

the court records
I showed you.

Documented evidence
against a wanton k*ller,

who will stop at nothing.

And I mean nothing.

You asking us
to join your posse?

I brought all the help
I need from Colorado.

Stopping here
was the sheriff's idea.

I figured you and Jess
might want to join us, Slim.

We're headed for that
old wind canyon ranch.

A woman
moved in there lately

that Mr. Madox
wants to question.

You mean Mrs. Carver?

- Yes, that's right.
- I know her.

She's trying very hard to make
a living for her children

out of that
old abandoned place.

I drove over there
the other day

to see if there's anything
I can do.

What was that?

Mr. Madox, we try to make
newcomers welcome here.

But I can't imagine what
a nice woman like Mrs. Carver

would know
about your fugitive.

Lorena Carver
helped Viktor to escape.

Then she shamed
her dead husband's name
by following him here.

Now if you're finished, sheriff,
we'll get on with our business.

Thank you for the coffee,
Daisy.

Slim, did you get the impression
Mort was asking for our help?

I got the impression that Madox
wants Viktor k*lled on sight.

But it's his duty
to return the fugitive alive.

He's a lawman.

Yeah, question is
what kind of a lawman?

Jess, I think we'd better
go along with them.

Let's go.

They're always so happy,
those two.

It's good
to hear them laugh.

They feel safe
when you're here.

Is that so strange?

No, I miss them, too.

Well, now, you and the children
will have plenty to eat,

no matter
what happens to me.

Emil,
don't talk that way.

What other way
is there to talk?

Sooner or later
they got to find me.

It's only a matter of when.

No.

You make it sound
so hopeless.

Why, it may take years

before they even think
of looking for you here.

By that time
we'll be far away.

How?

The gold pieces
are almost gone.

I can work this place,
I'm a strong woman.

The children can help.

We'll make it pay.

How lucky I am to find you.

Oh, if I could
only stay here,

and not have to
go back up there.

Mm, I'm jealous
of those canyons,

even though they do mean
safety for you.

And loneliness.

We'll have that place
of our own someday.

And then, oh, then it'll be
just like we've always dreamed.

Canada, and we can start
all over again new.

It's a dream that seems
far, far away now.

Never mind,
we'll make it come true.

We've got to.

CARL: Mother!
Mother!

What is it, Carl?

Riders coming,
you got to leave quick.

How many?

Six, maybe more.

I'll go by the back trail.

I'll try to brush out your
tracks before they get here.

Go find your sisters,
get in the house.

You seem to be having trouble
telling the truth, Mrs. Carver.

I'm gonna ask you
once more.

Where is Viktor hiding?

I told you,
I don't know.

That's not good enough,
not by a long chalk.

That's up to you.

Now you listen to me,
woman.

If you care about
those kids in there,

you'll talk and I mean quick,
because I swear to you,

they'll be orphaned
while you rot in jail.

This isn't getting
us anywhere, Madox.

I'll be the judge of that.

You know what the people
in our hometown

are saying about you
and Viktor, huh?

What they're saying
is their business, not mine.

Well, if you don't care
about yourself,

think about your kids.

How do you suppose
it looks to them

your taking up
with a fugitive?

I married Emil
a month ago,

in a little town
along the Colorado border.

My children think as highly
of my husband as I do.

You're proud of it,
marrying a m*rder*r.

What do you suppose
that makes you, huh?

That's enough, Madox.

You like her kind,
huh, Sherman?

Maybe you can use some
straightening out, too, huh?

Slim, take it easy.
Take it easy.

Go on, cool off.

You mind your tongue,
Madox.

I get the impression
you're confused

about where your duty lies,
sheriff.

I never counted it my duty
to insult a woman.

I checked with you
for the record,

but if you continue
to interfere--

This is my territory, mister,
and I'll interfere anytime

you or your deputies
get out of line.

Now is that clear?

You, boy, come here.

Tell Mr. Sherman where
your mother got the fresh beef

that's hanging
in the smoke house.

I don't think
that's any of your business.

Why, you...

Madox, you'd better leave.

Right now.

I'll settle with you
when I've got your husband.

He means it, Mrs. Viktor.

He'll press charges
against you.

There's nothing
I can do to stop him.

There is,
you can cooperate,

and Mort will see
he leaves you alone.

Won't you, Mort?

Ma'am,
he and his hired g*ns

are going into the canyons
after Viktor tomorrow.

I'll recruit a posse
of local men

to see there's fair play,

but I can't guarantee
that Viktor won't be shot.

Unless you take me
to him, now.

I can't do that.

Even if I give you
my word

he'll be returned
to Colorado unharmed?

I'm sorry.

Mrs. Viktor, maybe you'd
like me to take the children

over to stay with Daisy
until this thing is settled.

Oh, uh, I don't know.

It might be better
all the way around.

Well,
I-- I'd be most grateful.

Well, you get 'em fixed up,
we'll wait outside.

Sure.

I didn't like the way
Madox pushed her around.

If he comes back--

I'll have a couple of boys
see she isn't harmed.

Where's the hunt
starting tomorrow?

At the foot
of the old Indian trail.

I'll be there, Mort.

Now what do you mean
you'll be there?

You're minding
the store tomorrow.

Don't you remember?

The stage line boss
is coming to check the books.

Kind of a hot day
for a climb, ain't it?

His trail's petering out.

Don't see how he could
get up to those caves.

Viktor could climb
onto a ceiling.

I've heard him tell about
scaling the Swiss Alps.

He'd be right at home
in this kind of country.

Sounds like
you know him pretty well.

Every time I turn around,
you're looking over my shoulder.

I don't like to be pressed.

And I don't like
climbing in the sun.

What makes you so certain
your man's up there?

Because it's the only place

where he can keep
watch over the whole valley.

[ g*nshots ]

Get back.
Get out of here!

No! Hold your ground.
He'll run out of ammunition.

He's got us cold.
He can pick us off
anytime he likes.

No, he won't.
Just lay low.

I thought you said
he was a cold-blooded k*ller.

Looks to me like
he's warning us away.

Looks like we've climbed about
as high as we can without ropes.

He's trapped now.

We got to keep going.

If you can see
a way up there from here,

you're a better man
than I am.

You said it, I didn't.

And you're right as rain.

Easy, Jess.
Cool off a bit.

A man's less likely to make
a mistake when he's not mad.

Come along behind me.

My legs gave way so quick,
I couldn't warn him.

He shouldn't have followed
so close behind me.

He's hurt pretty bad.

We got to get him
to a doctor, fast.

Caleb, give me a hand.

Now wait a minute,
wait a minute.

The sheriff's gonna be
all right.

We got to get up there
and stop that m*rder*r

before he gets away again.

Nobody in their right mind's
gonna try that again, Madox.

Caleb.

He's right, Mr. Madox.

Let Viktor rot up there.

Too risky trying
to flush him out.

You call yourselves men?

The first sign of trouble
and you run out of backbone.

That man up there
is no superhuman,

he can be brought down
with a b*llet.

All we got to do
is corner him.

Corner him?

You ever tried
cornering the wind?

There are ten of us
against one man.

Sure, and he's
a mountain climber

with the right kind of boots,
ropes too, probably.

A posse is no pigeon sh**t

where you can quit when
the bird gets out of easy range.

That man up there
is a m*rder*r.

You Laramie men,

you're a legally
sworn arm of the law,

you got a duty.

We got no duty
to get ourselves k*lled.

You promised me that
when I hired you and your men

you wouldn't quit until I--

You need help from experts,
Mr. Madox.

There's an army mountain troop
bivouacked at Fort Platte.

Now we'll guard the canyon exits
until you bring them here.

That'll take
another day at least.

That's the best we can do.
Take it or leave it.

All right.

I hold you
personally responsible

for turning these men
against me, Harper.

We'll settle up
when I finish what I came for.

I'll be looking
forward to that.

Slim.

What is it, Daisy?

- Jess is back.
- When did he get here?

Just a few minutes ago,
and he's leaving again.

Oh, Slim,
will you talk to him?

Sure, Daisy.

Is that food ready yet,
Daisy?

I'll only be a minute.

Uh, what's this all about?

I'm going in to the canyon,
Slim.

I think I know a way of
bringing Viktor out alone.

Just like that, huh?
Ten men couldn't do it,

but you're gonna
do it by yourself.

There's no other way.
Madox has sent for army help.

Viktor won't stand a chance
against professionals,

no matter how good
of a mountaineer he is.

So?

So if the army finds him
and brings him to Madox,

he's a dead man.

We still owe him something
for Mike, Slim.

Are you sure
it's Mike you're thinking of?

Posse man was by, said you
had quite a run-in with Madox.

That's part of it.

Then I'm going with you,
Jess.

I'm going alone.

He'd spot two of us for sure,
Slim, you know that.

Now look,
even if you're lucky enough

to get within
talking distance of Viktor,

still doesn't mean
you can bring him in,

not with a death sentence
hanging over his head.

Here you are, Jess.

Thanks, Daisy.

Slim, he's a married man
with a family.

Does that sound like
a hardened k*ller to you?

If he shoots you, Jess,

you'll be just as dead
no matter what he is.

Look, if you're not back
by tomorrow night,

I'm coming up there
looking for you.

Sure.

So long.

As soon as
Madox came into town,

I sent a wire
asking about him.

That--

That answer just came
from a marshal friend of mine
over in Colorado.

He doesn't think
much of Madox.

He does say
the man's word is law

in the town
that this family owns.

What about Laramie,
Mort?

Well, that's a judgment

we're gonna
have to make ourselves.

I don't like the man's attitude
or his methods.

Listen, if Jess is able
to bring Viktor in,

would you give him
protection?

You bet I would.

If there's any evidence
of a mistrial,

I'd do anything I could

to get a change of venue
for him.

Madox will be heading up
those canyons

with the army climbers
tomorrow.

I better stick with 'em.

Sure wish you would.
I can't go,

but somebody's got
to ride herd on Madox.

Especially
with Jess involved in it.

That's what
I was thinking.

Take care of yourself.

Did you find me
at the bottom of the cliff?

No, on a ledge
halfway down.

And you picked me up
and carried me here?

Well, if the posse came back,
they would see you.

And I did not want to risk them
finding my cave,

and you were
very close to it.

My name is Jess Harper,
Viktor.

Mr. Harper.

I came looking for you
to take you back to Laramie

before Madox
puts a b*llet in you.

Why do you want
to stop him?

'Cause of what you did
for Mike.

Oh, the little boy.

That's right.

Madox has got a team of army
mountaineers looking for you.

You'll never be able
to stand up against them.

I still face the hanging rope,
and I'm an innocent man.

At least
you'll be alive to prove it.

That is too late for that.

The judge,
the court was told lies

and the jury and the witnesses
were all paid by Madox.

How come?

I had refused to sell my farm
to Madox's father.

And he tried to run me off,

and I had to k*ll him
in self-defense.

And what about the farm?

They auctioned it off
to Madox for one dollar.

Nobody dared
to bid against him.

You had gold pieces,
as I recall, quite a few.

The night before
they were going to hang me,

I broke out of the jail.

And while they were
looking for me,

I found a way
into the Madox feed store.

And I took a fair price
for my farm,

minus one dollar.

No, Mr. Harper,

I cannot let you
or anybody else take me in.

Does that mean
I can't leave here?

That's right,
unless Madox gives in.

You're sure the children
are all right?

Now don't worry
about them.

They're getting on famously
with Mike.

And we have a neighbor
staying with them

until Slim and I get back.

Maybe it was silly of me

to ask Slim
to drive me out here tonight,

but we were both
very worried about Jess.

I've told you the truth
about him.

Believe me.

I do.

We believe you,
Mrs. Viktor.

We're just hoping that
your husband's hatred for Madox

isn't turned on Jess.

Oh, no.

I don't think so.

Emil is really
a very gentle man.

It's only that he's been
driven into a corner.

Why, facing the same thing,
any man would strike back.

Nobody is blaming him
for that.

Especially if he's innocent.

Were you headed
for Canada?

Yes.

We didn't know
what else to do.

No matter where we go,

someone working for Madox
seems to find us.

We were hoping
we'd evaded them this time.

And as soon as
we had enough supplies,

we were leaving...

for good.

Now...

Don't give up hope.

You have everything
to live for.

Those fine children,

and from what you say,
a fine man for a husband.

There are not many
like you...

who would say that.

Now don't you worry.

I'll be sticking close
to Madox tomorrow.

And right now
Jess is doing all he can

to save your husband.

You're not in this alone
any longer.

Don't be a fool!

Somebody's being a fool
and it's not me, Viktor.

You don't know
what you ask.

Madox will not stop
until he sees me dead!

Here, come, Mr. Harper.

You shouldn't have
tried that.

You'll need
to save your strength.

The way my leg's
beginning to feel,

it's gonna
take more than strength

to get me through this.

It was foolish for you
to come here.

I will never surrender
to Madox.

I'm not asking you
to do that.

Surrender to me.

Our lawmen will do
all they can for you.

We'll get you a new hearing,
maybe even a new trial.

You don't know Madox
like I do.

He would find some way
to stop you.

Even if he has to sh**t me
through the bars of my cell.

We wouldn't let him
do that.

That is easy to say,
my friend.

No, if I do not get
away to Canada,

it can only end in death
for me or for Madox.

The sergeant wants
to start back down.

We can make it
before nightfall.

This is no time
to quit.

You might as well
face facts, Madox.

Only reason you and I
are up this far is

because they got us here.

If you want to spend the night
hanging onto a rock,

well, go ahead.

[ sighs ]

Air really sharpens
a man's appetite.

You'll get used to it,
third or fourth day.

Is it gonna take that long
to find Viktor?

Well, could be longer,
Mr. Sherman.

I've seen
those canyons up there.

A really good climber
could hide out for a long time.

What I've heard
about Viktor,

he's a lot better
than just good.

That's not gonna make
Mr. Madox very happy.

Somehow it doesn't
bother me very much.

I'm fed up
with this waiting around.

There isn't much choice,
is there?

You couldn't do
much better than them

for tracking him down.

I could,
if I knew where to look.

When things quiet down,

I'm gonna take a little hike
over to see Viktor's wife.

If Sherman notices
I'm gone,

you keep him here
any way you have to, huh?

Sure.

You suppose
she's gonna tell you anything?

When I'm through with her,
she will.

How did you get past the guards
in the canyon?

They were asleep.

Madox pays for obedience,
but not for loyalty.

Oh, he's burning up
with fever.

Yeah.

That's why
I brought him here.

I hope you could help him.

Oh, Emil,
poison has set in.

Yeah.

And if he dies,
I'm to blame.

He should get to a doctor.

I can only do so much.

I don't-- I don't have
any medical supplies.

If I go into town,

that is exactly
what Madox wants.

Well, then I will.

By the time you get the horses
hitched to the wagon,

I'll have his bandage
changed.

Hurry, Emil.

Harper wants me
to give myself up.

Do you think I should?

Oh, I don't know.

Sometimes I wonder
where this will all end.

If Madox finds me,
it will end.

I would like to believe
what Harper says,

but we don't
really know him.

No, but we do know Madox.

Hitch up the team, Emil.

I can get him
into town alone.

Thank you.

Where's Madox?

He said
he was going for a walk.

Toward
the old ranch house?

I wouldn't know, Sherman.

As long as
you're gonna worry about it,

why don't you sit
on that log there

where I can keep an eye
on you.

I think he's better.

I cleaned his leg and gave him
what medicine I had.

Ah, we should have some blankets
in the back of the wagon.

I'll get them.

And there's some
hot coffee.

You look like
you could use some.

Just keep your hand
on that cup of coffee, Viktor,

like it was gonna be
your last.

Looks like
I wasted a lot of time
up in those canyons.

I should have stayed
right here in the first place.

You two going somewhere
in that wagon?

If you are,
I'd just forget about it.

Do whatever
you want with me...

but leave Lorena alone.

She's in it too far
to get out now.

She aided the escape
of a murdering fugitive.

I did not m*rder.

That's not what the judge
and jury said.

VIKTOR: Because they were
in your pay.

You are buying yourself
a license to k*ll.

Sure, I was.
And I was making certain

that the man who k*lled
my father would pay for it.

I shot him in self-defense,
and you know that.

I don't care
how you did it or why.

I only know it was done,
and you're answering for it now.

VIKTOR: Now wait.

I am begging you,
do not hurt Lorena.

Not a chance, Viktor,
not a chance.

- No, Viktor, no!
- Emil, don't!

You saw what he was
just going to do.
Why shouldn't I k*ll him?

If you pull that trigger,
you're no better than he is.

He's right, Emil.

He saved your life and mine.
Listen to him.

I heard what he said
about your trial.

I guarantee you,
you can get a new one.

While I'm waiting
for a new trial,

what is to stop him
from trying to k*ll us again?

The law, Viktor,
Sheriff Cory, Slim, me,

everybody in town
that believes in justice.

All right,
we try your justice.

Good.

I hope it does not fail.

Now if you'll get me to a doc,
I'd sure appreciate it.

Yeah.

What about him?

We can tie him up.

It'll give us time
to get to town.

We'll be safe there.

Safe, yeah.

I hope.

How does it look,
doc?

He'll make it all right.

It's a good thing Mrs. Viktor
took care of him when she did.

I got a feeling we haven't seen
the last of Mr. Madox.

Don't worry so much, Mort.

He's not likely to start
anything here in town.

Maybe, but when I tell him
I'm holding Viktor

while he appeals his case,

I don't think
he's gonna like it very much.

Yeah, but when the US Marshal
in Colorado

finds out what I heard
Madox popping off about,

Viktor's sure
to get a new trial.

Maybe the whole thing
will be dismissed.

That's what I mean, Jess.

Madox just might figure it
that way, too,

and go all out
to get Viktor.

He's right, Mr. Harper.

Madox is not the kind
to give up.

His men must have found him.
Here he comes now.

[ horses approaching ]

You better keep off
that leg, Jess, I mean it.

You shouldn't have done
such a good job, doc,

I wouldn't be able
to argue with you.

You must be careful,
you know.

I'll do that, ma'am.

With a little help.

You got more grit
than brains.

Must not be too bad
if Slim's with them.

I don't know, Mort.

Looks like they took
his iron away.

Come on, Viktor.

I'll talk to him, Jess,
you back me up.

Don't you take any chances,
Mort.

He's liable
to be a little edgy

over that pitcher
I busted on his skull.

Doc, you better
take Mrs. Viktor

back there in the cells,
just in case.

I'm as good with a r*fle
as handing out pills, Mort.

You better listen to him,
doc.

If this gets any worse,
you're gonna be needed

for more than
just handing out pills.

I want Viktor, sheriff.
Now.

He's in custody, Madox.

You can stop worrying about him
now and go cool off.

I'm taking him with me.

Viktor's staying in Laramie,
Madox.

I heard you admit to paying off
the judge and the jury.

He's gonna
get a new trial now.

A fair one.

If you're the one
that slugged me, Harper,

I'll take care of you
later.

But right now,
I want Viktor.

He's my prisoner, Madox,
and he stays that way.

Sergeant, I want the fugitive
I came for.

Get him.

He's already
in custody, sir.

That's all I was ordered
to do for you.

We'll be going back
to the fort now.

Sergeant, I'll report this
to your commanding officer.

So will I, Mr. Madox,
just as soon as I get there.

All right, spread out
and follow my lead.

They're not gonna stop us.

SLIM: You won't get away
with this, Madox.

Oh, I think I will,
Sherman.

Especially
when I tell them

Caleb's gonna
put a b*llet through you,

unless
Viktor shows himself.

Now just a minute.

You don't expect me to g*n him
in front of all these witnesses?

For $500 more,
I figured you'd be glad to.

I guess you figured right.

I got some good g*ns
out here, sheriff.

One of them is pointed
right at your friend, Sherman.

Now if Viktor is not out here
in ten seconds

that g*n's going off.

He's bluffing, Mort.

You ought to know by now
I'm not one to bluff.

[ g*n c*ck ]

Now get Viktor out here,
and quick.

Emil.

Thank you for being
so good to us.

DAISY: You are
more than welcome.

We're sorry
you're leaving,

but I can imagine
that you're eager
to be on your own again.

I can't tell you
how good it is to be free,

to go where you want to go.

Now that the charges
against you are dismissed,

I can't figure why you want to
go to Canada, Emil.

Big country,
not unlike my homeland.

And we will miss
our good friends here,

but it would be so good
to start over again.

Well, I can't blame you
for that,

and I wish you
a lot of luck.

I--
I will not soon forget

what you and Slim
have done for us.

You did a couple of things
for us we won't forget,

and the folks who live
in that town in Colorado

they used to call Madox.

Used to?
Have they changed the name?

No, not officially,

but since
the government uncovered

so much about the Madox family
and Emil's fake trial,

they're thinking about
calling the town Viktorville.

Oh.

- So long.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Bye.
