I might have a lead on
who's behind the attack on you.

You said the sh**ting
was unrelated.

That's what I thought,

but the Cleggs have a motive.

The mine's a big payday
for their business.

They blame you
for standing in the way.

Life's become more dangerous for
me since becoming your brother.

I guess being close to me
comes at a cost.

I saw Monica's shoes
by the door.

♪ somber, dramatic music ♪

I'm guessing that's her horse
terrorizing your ranch.

That's a...

stallion I bought for her
a couple weeks before she...

got worse.

Lot of wild to tame out of him,
but once we found out

that she'd never ride again,

figured what's the point?

Why break another spirit?

Yeah, we're both
far too familiar

with suffering and sacrifice.

Which is why,
whether taking on the mine

or overcoming grief,

we need to stay
in the fight, together.

So you're just making friends

Well, you heard about

[laughs]

Your team made
quite the impression.

So, f-folks
around here been barking?

'Cause, you know, I'm trying
to do a threat assessment.

I'm not snitching
on my customers.

People have a tendency
to misunderstand my intentions.

Or you have no idea
how capable you are of damage.

Hey, I just don't want your bar
all trashed by a brawl.

Just give me a little
heads-up, you know?

And I can help keep the peace.

That's an ironic request
coming from the guy

who barged into people's lives
to stir things up

in the first place.

Okay, fair warning then.
It might get rough around here.

I got no problem
fending people off.

It's nice to know you
haven't forgotten how to smile.

I'll keep that in mind.

No. Loogie like that

I didn't know her.

Hey. Good news.

Those two victims

have been discharged.

What about the guy

Stable, thanks to Kayce
sniffing out that ambush.

I swear, Cowboy could start

[Calvin] Well, let's hope that's
the end of the bloodshed here.

We put our lives on the line
for our neighbors,

for doing our job.

Well, we run into the fire
to protect people,

not to impress 'em.

we're the good guys.
