- Like the way you play the harp,
scares way the bandit.
(fire crackling)
- Gonna wear that picture
right out out, Yankee.
- That a nudie?
Come on. That's nudie, isn't it?
Now you think I could be a Pinkerton?
Because I think I'd be
one damned good Pinkerton.
I ain't scared of a gunfight.
You know I can ride for days--
- No.
- Well, okay.
(tense music)
(heavy breathing)
Everybody was wanting (indistinct).
- What in tarnation?
(horses whinnying)
- Damn near ripped
myself a brand new hole--
(indistinct)
Now I'm mighty grateful
we weren't chasing--
(creature growling)
My nag took, it sent a jolt
of fire right up my backside.
(creature growling)
I ain't felt no pain like
that down (indistinct).
(creature growling)
(ground crunching)
I've fallen down the street (indistinct)
part of the day just
hunkered down in the privy.
(twig snapping)
- Something's coming.
(creature growling)
(tense music)
(gun cocking)
(creature growling)
(shots firing)- The horses, Preston.
(creature growling)
(brush rustling)
(horses whinnying)
(ground crunching)
(horse neighing)
- The horses!
- Richard!
Richard!
(gun cocking)
(tense music)
(branch snapping)
- It's just me. It's just me.
Something ripped right through the reins.
- Indians?
- I don't think so.
Navajo territory ain't no place
to ride a (indistinct).
Bandits?
- Maybe.
- What the fuck you want to do then? Huh?
We got no horse to ride--
(creature growling)
(tense music)
- Think it's coyotes?
- No, that was big.
Real big.
- A wolf pack maybe, it's something
that'd the horses and it's close by.
We should check.
- You can check.
- Ain't safe to wander.
- So we're just supposed
to stand here 'till sun up?
(indistinct), check.
- Stand down, Yankee.
I'll assess the situation.
Ezra, keep Mr. Big City here company.
(tense music)
(gun cocking)
- How close you think it was?
- Oh, it was right up on us.
Maybe 20 feet or something.
- Mountain lions?
- No, lions are skittish.
Not even a paw print.
(tense music)
Ez?
Quit ginning about.
You're making me nervous.
- My gut is turned on this one, boys.
I say we go back to Copper Creek.
All right, it's a half
a day's walk from here.
We can regroup, we can get new steeds,
shit, we'll be back in a
couple days, now come on, Cody!
- Ez is right.
It's rough territory up here.
Indian land ain't no place
to be without a horse.
- How long on foot?
- Day, maybe more.
- We continue on at first light.
- You know you got a real
hard on from train robbers.
- I'll continue on by myself if I have to.
- No, we stick together.
We soldier on together.
- Fuck, fuck, fuck!
(tense music continues)
And I got first watch.
Shit, this just ain't my night.
- Don't get too roostered up.
Stay sharp.

(hawk calls)
- Hello, hello?
(woman screams)
(horse whinnying)
(indistinct)
(rider screams)
- Sit up.
(birds chirping)
- What?
- Ezra's gone.
- He just up and left?
- [Cody] Looks like it.
Beckett!
- Ezra!
- [Cody] Beckett!
- Ezra!
- Beckett!
- Ezra!
- A deserter?
- Yeah, it looks like it.
Better off without that fat fuck anyway.
Alright. Grab your gear.
Take what you can carry.
- What about the tent and the saddle?
- You gonna carry that?
Let's Yankee, time's a wasting.
(birds chirping)
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(crow calls)
- Hold on now.
- Sir, are you all right?
Sir?
(flies buzzing)
(tense music)
- Looks like something slit his throat.
(man coughing)
He's still alive.
(man speaking foreign language)
- [Beau] What's he saying?
- He's saying something about an animal.
(man speaking foreign language)
- [Beau] Is he praying?
- No.
- Por favor.
- I think he's saying "kill me, please."
(man speaking foreign language)
- Sir, we're gonna get you to Purgatory.
- No, por favor, no.
- Doesn't sound like he wants to.
- Yeah, I got that.
- Help me get him up.
- Padre.
(man speaking foreign language)
- [Cody] How long do you
think he's gonna last?
- We can't just leave him here like this.
- I do agree with you on that, Yankee.
(shot firing)
- God damn it, the hell
did you do that for?!
- Because it was the right thing to do.
Now let's make haste.
Whoever did this to him,
they might want to do that to us.
Yankee.
(tense music)
(hawk calling)
There she is.
You see that?
- What is it?
- Bit chilly not to have
a fire burning somewhere.
No smoke, nothing.
- What are you thinking?
- I don't know yet.
Keep your eyes peeled.
First thing we gotta do
is get some fresh horses.
God knows I could hit a
stake right about now.
(tense music)
- What the hell?
(wind blowing)
Hello?
- Shh.
(metal creaking)
(tense music continues)
- You think it was Indians?
- I don't know.
(tense music continues)
(wind blowing)
(tense music continues)
(wheel creaking)
(hawk cawing)
- Last time I saw a town this
empty, it's either church
or a hanging.
- Well, it ain't Sunday.
(tense music)
(hinge creaking)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(Beau yelping)
(scare chord)
(Cody chuckling)
(chickens clucking)
(tense music)
- [Cody] Goddamn, that's a couple of weeks
of rot right there.
- [Beau] Disease maybe?
- We ain't see no bodies lying around.
- Let's get outta here.
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(metallic clanging)
(clanging continues)
(chickens clucking)
Hey.
(dramatic music)
- You want your friend's
face to stay where it is?
You put that weapon down, sir.
- Goddamn Yankee.
Put down that gun.
= My apologies for the rude greeting.
- You're the first person we've seen here.
Any idea what happened?
- You ain't seen nobody?
- Not a soul.
- I did notice it was kind of quiet.
But a black man ain't got no
business sticking his nose into
places if you know what I mean.
- You mean to tell me you just come
into town and do your thing and leave?
- I come in the back trails
and leave out the same way I
come in after I do my work.
- I'm better off by myself.
- Huh.
- Johnny Reb.
- What if?
- I just need to know who
I'm dealing with is all.
- Now you know, boy.
- Beau Riffen. This is Cody Parnum.
Pinkerton business.
- Nicodemus Black.
That say?
- Wanted dead or alive.
Frank Henry and John Sparks.
They wanted for bank robbery,
battle jumping and murder.
- Isn't that something?
Always white folk, ain't it?
- We got a notion they're gonna be riding
through town any day
now, Frank and his gang.
- I wish y'all luck in
trying to find your friends,
but the sun's getting low
and I plan on leaving here
as soon as my traps is fixed.
Lost my mule the other night to wolves.
Gotta do the rest on foot.
So long as it's got whiskey and rooms.
(tense music)
- Much obliged.
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(hinge creaking)
(tense music continues)
(glasses clinking)
- I'm good.
- Are you though, Yankee?
(drinks pouring)
(indistinct) isn't he?
- Indians?
- Nah. They would've
burned this whole town
to the ground like they
did in New Ulm Minnesota
some years back.
- What's New Ulm
- Dakota Sioux.
They surrounded New Ulm Minnesota,
started burning from the outside
all the way to the inside.
Along the way they burned
800 men, women and children.
No mercy.
- Jesus Christ.
- Yeah.
Well, white man was
starving them out for years.
Any idiot could have seen it coming.
This, I ain't ever seen
anything like this.
Goddamn, I needed that.
(monkeys whooping)
It sounds like there
might be a circus in town.
(tense music)
(man gibbering)
(man laughing)
(tense music continues)
(man gibbering)
(man screaming)
(scare chord)
(man laughing)
- Goddammit.
(door creaking)
(man gibbering)
- Sir.
Sir.
(tense music)
- Water.
- What's your name, sir?
- Name?
- Your name.
- R-reverend.
- Silas, Silas Fist.
- Reverend?
What's a man of the cloth
doing locked up in here?
(flies buzzing)
(tense music)
(door opening)
Goddammit boy, you keep popping your
weaselly ass up in here,
you're gonna catch a bullet.
- Please.
W-water.
- Mr. Black.
Could you kindly get the
reverend some water, please?
(tense music)
- I can do that.
- The hell are you doing?
- We're gonna let him outta here.
- Let him out, we don't
know what the hell he did.
By the way, he looks like he's insane.
- He is the only man in town
who knows what the hell happened.
I'm not gonna let him die in here.
- I say we keep Padre
right when we can find him.
- Thank you.
Bless you, son.
- You know him?
- Seen him preaching the end
of the world in the middle
of the town square from time to time.
- Bless you. Oh, thank you God.
God bless you.
- Pinkerton. I need to have
a word with you outside.
(keys clanking)
(tense music)
Things ain't looking good, Pinkerton.
I say we get as many supplies as we can
and get the hell out of town.
If we're lucky, we catch a
stage coach headed north.
- I'm staying.
- That was not a suggestion.
I was being polite.
- Reno and his gang will be here any day.
I will not miss my chance.
- Then you will not miss your
chance all by your lonesome.
(tense music)
- You're a coward.
- Maybe.
Or maybe my mama didn't raise
no fool. You see this town?
Hmm?
I don't know what the hell
happened here, but it's done.
It's cooked.
And the only people
here is the angry negro
and the crazy preacher.
- And me for now.
- Well, as pretty as you are, Pinkerton,
that ain't enough to make me stay.
- Good enough.
(tense music continues)
Half up front, half on delivery.
There you go.
- Much obliged.
Take my advice. Find
yourself some weapons.
Reno gang against one ain't a fair fight.
- You ain't never seen me fight.
- Adios.
(tense music continues)
(wind blowing)
(lantern clinking)
(wind continues blowing)
(door opens)
Well I'll be goddamned.
Woo, sweet Jesus. (laughing)
(light music)
My goodness.
(gun clicks)
(tense music)
You the sheriff of Purgatory now?
- Until somebody else shows up.
- This is just paper. It's nobody's money.
It's being wasted here.
You and I could split this.
60/40.
- Folks might come back.
- What, they out having a picnic,
eating pies, drinking ginger beer,
maybe having a three-legged
sack race with the boys?
- It's sad not to be that I'm sure,
but until I find out, the money goes back.
(light music)
- Goddamned fool, Yankee.
- My wife told me that on
more than one occasion,
- Well the least you can
do is buy me a drink.
- That I can do.
- Where's my tail, Yankee?
- You left your bags at the saloon.
- Goddamn, I need to think that through.
(gun cocking)
(gun firing)
- Do not discharge your
weapon on a public street.
- What don't you get, Yankee?
There ain't anybody here but us chickens.
(gun cocking)
Bam!
(shot firing)
(glass breaking)
That Johnny Reb,
(Cody clucking)
still got a mean bone in him, don't he?
(gun firing)
Guess he's still pissed he lost the war.
(tense music)
(crickets chirping)
(wolf howling)
(tense music continues)
(scare chord)
Getting dark out.
Gonna take the reverend
some food and drink.
- Yeah, you do that boy.
(tense music continues)
(crickets chirping)
(tense music)
- Hello?
(tense music continues)
- We know he didn't do it.
Maybe he went all at Turner on this town.
- Nat Turner.
- You know, led a slave rebellion
few years back, 200 people died.
- You see that old
rifle he carries around?
- So?
- You don't hunt humans with
an old carbine like that.
Besides, he could have done us in earlier.
- Yeah, he's been awfully
friendly with that preacher.
- Friendly.
- He brought him water.
- Because I asked him to.
- Well, he didn't have to.
(crickets chirping)
(creature growling)
How long are you gonna
wait for the Reno gang?
- As long as it takes.
- What happens if they change plans?
- They'll be here.
(wood banging)
Goddammit, your black ass too stupid
to know what it's good for?
- Goddammit, Parnum, ain't
nobody got time for this.
You better listen to
what this man gotta say.
(tense music)
- Yes, please.
Calms my nerves.
- Go ahead.
(tense music continues)
- Six, six months ago, a
Navajo girl come into town,
looked like she'd been
thrown from her horse.
Her arm hung limp like,
and she struggled a bit to walk,
made her way right here into the saloon.
The bar owner come over to help out,
but he got shoved aside by
a couple of ranch hands.
Said they'd bring her over
to the doctor's house.
Next day, sheriff found
her body behind the stable.
Violated, her dress all up over her head.
Couldn't have been more than 15. Shame.
It turns out she was a shaman's daughter.
He wanted whoever did it dead.
Now, I, I fought with the sheriff
and I said, I, I, I told him,
"Let the heathens have their justice."
He wouldn't have it.
He said, "Justice has got to be done
"by proper law, not Indian law."
That did not go over well
with this medicine man.
He rode out of this town with
that girl's dead body hoisted on his horse
and cursing every one of us.
I said, "Sheriff, I will
see these men hanged."
He threw me in jail
and he told me to cool off
until I, I saw the light.
- How long ago was this?
- Maybe two weeks ago.
- So you're saying that
this is all Navajo doing?
- I am.
I heard such screaming
and yelling and I said,
"Jeremiah, Babylon will
be a heap of ruins,
"a haunt of jackals, an
object of horror and scorn.
"A place of (indistinct)."
- Why don't you take
the preacher here to one
of the rooms to get washed up?
- I don't believe I work for you, sir.
- Please.
- Reverend.
- Ah, you think the calvary
would've showed up on now.
- Maybe they didn't get word.
- Maybe they on their way.
- Still doesn't explain
where all the bodies are.
- Yeah, I think they would've
scalped them or burned them.
Sent some kind of message.
- Nicodemus?
Hello?
Nicodemus.
(door creaking)
(stairs creaking)
- Psst.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
Nothing.
(woman yells)
(Cody yells)
(dramatic music)
(both grunting)
- Get off me, no! Put me down!
(indistinct)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ma'am, I pride myself on
never having shot a woman.
But if you don't put
that pig sticker down,
I will blow a hole in your face.
- Look, we are not gonna hurt you.
Put your gun down.
Put it down.
Okay.
- Food.
- We can do that.
- Poor woman damn near starving.
Seems like those that survived,
they're a little bit crazy,
like they seen a ghost or something.
(tense music)
(woman speaking foreign language)
What did you say?
- Navajo, means walks on all fours.
- [Beau] What, what walks on all fours?
Ma'am, are you saying Indians did this?
- Not Indians. One Indian.
- Hold on now.
You mean to tell me one man did all this?
- It's not a man.
It's a skinwalker.
(dramatic music)
- [Beau] What is that?
- It's a Navajo myth.
It's ghost stories they
tell around the campfire.
- That's what I thought Mr.
Cody, until one night one
of these myths came down the mountain,
walked right into Purgatory,
and hasn't left.
He has the power to
shapeshift into any creature.
He can wield black magic,
enlist creatures of the night,
raise the dead, wreak havoc on the world.
- Why now? Why Purgatory?
- An Indian girl has been
raped and murdered here.
It was a shaman's daughter.
- Old wives' tales, prairie (indistinct).
- You might as well just
kill each other now,
because we are all going
to be dead soon enough.
You will see.
You will see it with your own eyes.
- Hello, Anna.
What sort of stories have you
been telling these gentlemen?
You see, miss Anna here was
exiled to the far outskirts
of town years ago for telling her stories.
She talks and cavorts with
the Redskins out there.
Wouldn't be at all surprised
if she didn't worship their false gods.
Take a look at that talisman
she wears around her neck.
- It's sage. It keeps the beast away.
- You also have to ask yourself,
how is it she survived when
so many others have perished?
(tense music)
- Miss Anna!
(wolves growling)
- It's just wolves, lapping up the remains
of the Indian massacre.
(gun cocking)
(gun firing)
(wolf snapping)
- All right, everybody back inside, now.
- Come on, Miss Anna. Come on.
Come on, man.
(wolf snapping)
(tense music continues)
(thunder rolling)
- All right. We all
need to get some sleep.
We'll assess our options in the morning.
We'll gather weapons, rations, and water.
- Well, I say we leave at first light,
because if this thing is real
and I am not saying that it is,
apparently it's a night stalker.
- We're safe here. You said so yourself.
It's three days in any direction.
At least here we have the
protection of the town.
Out there, we're more vulnerable.
- How convenient.
If we stay here, you have the opportunity
to continue your Pinkerton business.
- Pinkerton business?
- Mr. Riffen over here is
expecting the Reno gang to ride
through your fair town.
- Are they dangerous?
- Why don't we hold fire
until we make up our minds?
Cut for me please.
Low card takes first watch.
- I'd like a card, please.
- I'm sorry?
- I can keep watch.
I've been keeping it for
almost two weeks now.
- Ma'am, as a proper southern
gentleman, I cannot allow you,
as spirited as you are, to take watch.
- How about the reverend?
Don't he get one too?
- Oh gentlemen, my faith
is strong, clearly, but--
- This is my game.
I called it and I say no
women and no men of the cloth.
- Well he's a goddamn man, ain't he?
- Fuck!
I got first watch, the rest
of you get some goddamn sleep.
(thunder crashing)
(reverend sighs)
(thunder crashing)
You should be sleeping.
- I'll sleep when I'm dead.
- Well, it sounds like you'll
be sleeping soon enough.
(wind howling)
- It's the same sound we heard
by the fire the other night.
(wolves howling)
- Listen, I've been thinking.
I'll distract it while you and Nicodemus,
you get everybody else to safety.
Head south to the hills.
- What about the wolves?
- You and Nicodemus can take
care of 'em with your rifles.
- So what?
You just stay here and
become skinwalker chow?
(tense music)
(banging on wood)
- Mr. Riffen?
That you?
Hello, Mr. Riffen?
(lock unlatching)
(tense music continues)
Oh.
(tense music continues)
Oh...
Oh my God!
(scare chord)
How, how did you, you get in here?
(reverend panting)
What, what do you want?
You will, you will not torment me!
Leave me alone!
(girl hissing)
(reverend screaming)
- What happened? You alright? I saw her.
- I saw her. I saw her.
I saw her, I saw her there there.
- Who?
- She was there.
The Indian girl, back there. Back there.
That was--
- We're here, Padre.
- What the hell is going on in here?
- Reverend had a bad dream.
- I, uh...
- I'll make coffee.
(birds chirping)
(rooster crowing)
(coffee pouring)
(coffee pouring)
- Bless you, son.
(horse whinnying)
(horse snorting)
- Hello?
Hello?
Hello.
Anybody here?
Hello, goddammit?
- We got company.
(horse nickering)
- Anybody here?
- It's them.
You're with me.
(gun cocking)
(tense music)
Leave it. I don't wanna spook 'em.
- What about your badge?
Why don't we take 'em down now?
- Because I wanna find out where they're
meeting the rest of the gang.
(man groaning)
- You gonna be all right, son
- Oh...
- Come on son.
- Come on.
- Over here.
- We need a doctor.
- Let's get him inside.
- I don't need a goddamn
drink. I need a doctor.
- There's nobody in this town but us.
(man groaning)
- What are you talking about?
- Oh...
- Lay him down there.
Just lay down there.
- Get some alcohol and rags.
- Right here, right here.
(man groaning)
Easy, easy.
- Reverend, get a lantern.
You're gonna be all
right, son, just hold on.
(man groaning)
- He just lost a lot of blood. Okay.
(liquid trickling)
(man screaming)
- Hey!
You think twice about what
you're doing next, lady.
- I have to cauterize the
wound or he's going to die.
- Don't let her do it, Pa.
- Stay strong, son.
You're gonna be all right.
- [Injured Man] No!
- [Man] Don't look at
the fire. Look at me.
You look at me, John.
- No, no...
- Hold on, hold on.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
(tense music)
- You hold him.
Say a prayer, son. Now!
(wound sizzling)
(man screaming)
- Goddamn mountain lion got his arm.
- [Man] Came in a flash and was gone.
- Seems like that mountain lion's
been paying us all a visit.
- So you're telling me that we're
the only ones in this town, huh?
- Yep.
- Strange.
Indians?
- We think.
- When'd you boys get to town?
- [Beau] We've been
here for a couple days.
- Y'all passing through, just like us?
- I bought some property
outta Copper Creek.
Mr. Parnum here was escorting me to it.
And then we lost our horses and then this.
What about you boys? Where are you headed?
- Nowhere specific. Just riding the range.
Looking for opportunities.
- Well, this is the land
of opportunity, isn't it?
(tense music)
- Why is he still here?
- Mr. Black.
- Mr. Black.
Why is Mr. Black still in the saloon?
- You gonna try and make me leave?
- Boy.
- Say the word, Pa.
(tense music)
- [Beau] Frank, let's have another shot.
- What'd you call me?
- Frank.
- I never told you my name.
- Sure you did, earlier.
- No. See, I'd remember.
'cause I don't give it out so easily.
- And I don't know how I--
- The boy, the boy's been
mumbling nothing but.
- Pa, boy calls me Pa.
You know what?
You're thinking of my horse.
My horse is also named Frank.
(gang laughing)
Mr. Black, why don't you
pour us some more drinks?
Make yourself useful. (whistles)
- I'll do it.
- I don't mind a pretty
girl waiting on us either.
- I'll take care of the trapper.
- Yeah, why don't you do that?
- You wanna step outside?
- Yes sir, Mr. Riffen, sir.
(tense music)
- You got those traps ready?
- I just need to grease them up is all.
- Alright, here's what we're gonna do.
I'm gonna hit you and then you're gonna
go grease those traps.
Make it look good. They're watching.
You ready?
(Nicodemus grunting)
- Whoo!
Your friend cracked the old
negro right across the jaw.
(tense music)
- Good. Gotta keep 'em in line.
- Awh...
- (sighs) I tell you,
the only thing worse than the black man
is the red man, savages all of them.
- Here, here.
(glasses clinking)
Whoo!
- Well, young lady, tell
me, are you traveling
with these fine gentlemen?
- No, I'm not.
- Well, we're all alone
in this town apparently.
You and I could have some fun then
- Mr. Frank, if you don't
get your hand off my
bottom, I'm going to cut it off.
(men laughing)
- Wow. I love this one!
You've got spunk? Yeah.
(John groaning in agony)
- A real bed might be easier
on him. There's rooms upstairs.
- Can you find some laudanum?
There should be some in the general store.
(John groaning)
- I'll give it a gander.
- Where are you heading?
- Looking for some ladanum for Miss Anna.
- I got Nicodemus setting
traps in the bank.
If the Reno boys make
a move for the money,
we'll get 'em.
- Good to know.
(dramatic music)
Yankee, where you going?
Yankee?
Yankee, did you see something?
(tense music continues)
(birds chirping)
(tense music continues)
(gun cocking)
(door opening)
(Cody coughing)
(dramatic music)
Oh Lord.
What in God's name?
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(scare chord)
- No, don't shoot...
- What?
(woman groaning)
- My baby. (coughing)
Please, save my son.
- It's okay.
(flies buzzing)
It's okay.
(woman coughing)
(tense music continues)
- We didn't walk into Purgatory.
We stepped into Hell.
Going to find the trapper.
(doors creaking)
(stretcher creaking)
- (sighs) All right.
You check on him again in a couple hours.
- You boys part of the Reno gang?
(tense music)
- Say the word, Pa.
- Please. They're Pinkertons.
Mr. Riffen and the others.
- What are you talking about?
- He knows who we are, let me take him.
- Wait, there, there's money.
- Oh, sit, Pa!
- Hold on, hold on.
What's your game, preacher?
Bank got a drop off just
before the town went empty.
There's money. Lots of it.
- What's in it for you?
- I just want a piece of it. The bank.
Well, at least you're honest
about your profession.
Alright, listen.
We're gonna play nice with the Pinkertons
for a couple days 'till
John's feeling better.
Then we'll make our move. Got it?
- Yes sir.
(tense music)
- This is some horseshit.
(energetic piano music)
- Like it?
- Did you find the laudanum?
- What?
- The laudanum.
- No, wasn't there.
- Mr. Cody.
Mr. Cody.
Are you all right?
- Miss Anna, I have seen
things in the war that
I wish, I pray, could be unseen,
but I have never seen anything like this.
- What is it? What did you see?
- We found your townsfolk.
All of them.
- Where?
Where are they hiding?
- In the chapel.
And they are not hiding.
(tense music)
They all...
(dramatic music)
(John groaning)
- Johnny, Johnny!
- [Gang Member] Joe?
- Johnny?
(John groaning)
(John coughing)
- God, please help me.
- Dear God.
(dramatic music)
- Who did this to you, boy?
- It was the devil. (coughing)
- Pa, don't.
Please Pa, I'm begging you, don't!
- Henry, boy.
- No.
- He's gone.
- Goddammit...
- Pa...
No, please.
Pa, no.
- Please.
(shot firing)
- Goddammit.
(tense music)
- Who did this to my boy--
- It was the skinwalker--
- Come on now, Frank.
- Who did this to him?
- Come on now, I don't know.
- Need to do justice, right now.
- Frank...
(blow landing)
(dramatic music)
(blows landing)
(Frank yelling)
(blows landing)
(indistinct)
- Take it easy.
Need to keep him alive 'till
we're with the other two men.
- And then we kill 'em all.
- Let her go, Frank.
She ain't got nothing to do with this.
- Oh, we're gonna let her go,
with us when we leave this town.
They gutted my son.
And now I'm gonna gut you slowly.
I need you to howl for
your friends to hear.
- Frank, please.
- Whose side you on, reverend??
- So there it is. Let Judas amongst us.
- And then Christ suffered on the cross.
(Cody screaming)
(dramatic music)
(flesh tearing)
- For the love of God, Frank
- It's an eye for an eye.
- Those men did not kill your son.
- I told you not to talk!
If they didn't do it, who did?
- A beast.
- That thing that attacked
John the other night,
that, that was some kind of monster.
- Shut up.
There ain't no such thing.
- There is. And he's here.
(tense music continues)
- Listen lady, the only monster you have
to worry about in this town is me.
(Cody screaming)
(Cody panting)
(horse whinnying)
- (indistinct) the horses.
- What the hell's going
on with our horses?
Go check. Hurry up!
(horses whinnying)
(tense music)
- Geez Pa, the horses.
- Goddammit it, talk to me!
Where the hell's my horses?
Talk!
(Cody coughing)
- That all you got?
(shot firing)
(glass breaking)
(shot firing)
(Frank shouting)
(shots firing)
- Are they gone?
- Yes, they've left.
- What took you so long?
- Well, we got a little held up.
You all right?
- Still on this side of the dirt.
- You stay here with Miss Anna.
Nicodemus and I, we'll go find them.
- Oh no, no, no, no, no.
Now I got a bone to pick,
and I can't let you have
all the fun, now can I?
(tense music continues)
(gun cocking)
- Mr. Black, you stay here with Ms. Anna.
You sure you're up for this?
- No.
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
- Reverend, you all right?
(shots firing)
(dramatic music)
- Come on.
(shots firing)
(dramatic music continues)
- Come on, move, move!

Up, come on.

(Frank panting)
Oh shit, how's your arm?
- I'm gonna be all right.
- All right. I think we shook him.
(men panting)
(wood crashing)
(creature panting)
- It's a beast, a goddamn beast!
- My god.
- No, no, no, no, no!
- Come on, come on, come on.
Let's go.
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
Check behind that door.
What's wrong, preacher?
- The devil. He's coming, he's coming.
- Devil's gonna get you out.
- Crazy preacher was right!
- Oh shit.
Look at all that.
Here, fill it up.
(Frank laughing)
Yeah.
Be quick, boy. We gotta move.
(Henry screaming)
(dramatic music)
- My leg, my goddamn leg! (screaming)
Pa, get me outta there.
- Shh, shh, shh, shh.
(wood banging)
You're gonna be all right.
I gotta lead it away.
- What are you doing?
- Fire off a few shots.
Get it to follow me.
You're gonna be fine.
Let's go, preacher.
(wood banging)
(creature roaring)
- Pa, it's coming, goddamn it!
- Go!
I'll be back for you, son.
- Pa, please don't leave me. (screaming)
(creature roaring)
(dramatic music)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's us.
They moved on to the bank.
We need to reload.
- Goddammit, why did you ever let
that coward outta the stockade?
- Well, it's hard for me to
see another man locked up,
but I don't suppose you
know anything about that
being from Dixie and all.
- You preaching to me?
Damn Yankees cast lots for my land.
Split it up amongst
slaves that I never owned.
That I never owned!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
There are no winners here.
None of us.
We all lost something.
Let's not lose again.
- I'm out, I'm outta sage.
I need more.
This is what kept me alive,
but it doesn't last long.
I have to go back to my place to get more.
- Anna, wait.
I'm sorry Mr. Riffen but I need to go.
- I got her.
- You, you reload that Henry.
You find some high ground.
You see anything, you shoot
it and I mean anything.
I'll cover the front.
(wood banging)
(creature growling)
(dramatic music)
(creature growling)
(bones cracking)
(dramatic music)
(Henry choking)
- Dead quiet all of a sudden.
- It's nearby.
- This thing, it get your husband?
- No, I live by myself.
- If you don't mind my asking,
what a fine lady like you
doing way on the outskirts by yourself?
- I'd rather not say
- It got something to do
with that preacher, don't it?
(creature growling)
- We must hurry!
(tense music)
(crickets chirping)
(tense music continues)
- Miss Anna, you wanna tell
me about that preacher?
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- What? What are you talking about?
- He's coming to get me.
- Who's coming?
- God. God have mercy on my soul.
- Damn it.
(shot firing)
(preacher grunts)
You better start talking, Reverend.
And I want the truth.
- I have never told anybody this story.
When I was a young girl,
the Reverend Silas,
he made advances towards me.
Fought him off and ran.
He then told his flock
that I was the young harlot
who had tempted him into sin,
but he avoided my advances
with his fortitude and faith.
The town turned on us,
and now I fear the
reverend has sinned again.
(creature growling)
We must go.
- All clear for the moment.
- Gentlemen, I need y'all to listen
to what Ms. Anna gotta say now.
- I can't be certain as,
I'm an outsider here,
but I think the Reverend Silas raped
and killed the shaman's daughter.
Everybody in Purgatory knew,
but they stayed silent.
- That's probably why the
preacher's congregation's
lying dead in this church.
- The reverend was locked up
because they was gonna
hang him for the murder
and the skinwalker took
justice into his own hands.
(creature growling)
- No, he'll never stop. Ever.
When someone kills your
child, you become dead inside.
Your pain knows no end.
- You gimme a shot at it,
I know I can trap him.
- But how do we kill it?
- Maybe if we feed the
preacher to the beast,
it'll let up upon us.
- A medicine man once
told me his weakness,
but I'm not sure what it means.
The white ashes of a pure
soul would destroy the beast.
Ashes to ashes.
- Dust to dust.
Thank you, Miss Anna.
Nicodemus, set those traps.
Mr. Parnum, you tend to the lanterns.
I'll be back.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
- Well, I've been tracking it.
It seems to be coming in and
outta town from the south.
I figured I'd put a trap here
and one up near the stables.
- Maybe add a new trap and do it quick.
- I'm gonna need some light.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(metal clanking)
- Nope.
(dramatic music)
(wolves growling)
(tense music continues)
(wolves growling)
(wolves growling)
(fire crackling)
(wolves growling)
(shots firing)
(wolves whimpering)
- Any luck?
- Let's hope your medicine man was right.
Better go set those traps.
(tense music continues)
(flames roaring)
(Frank chuckling)
- And folks, in case you
haven't figured it out by now,
this yellow bellied child rapist
is what that thing is after.
So I'm gonna make you a deal.
I'm gonna take this
money and your weapons.
I'm gonna head outta town
and nobody's gonna follow me.
You get the preacher.
- You're out of your goddamn mind.
- Am I? I think we all
know what's going on here.
- I'm gonna make you a counteroffer.
Frank Sparks, you're under
arrest for the murder
of Maria and Abigail Riffen.
- What are you talking about?
- The train from Chicago to St. Louis.
A year ago, you boys robbed
it. There were casualties.
- Step back, step back, goddammit it.
I'll blow his head off.
- Lemme take him, Yankee.
- No, he's mine.
Frank, I'm taking you in.
I will see you hanged
for the murder of my wife and daughter.
- And I will shoot you both.
So it's you or the preacher. Your choice.
(Frank chuckling)
(creature growling)
(dramatic music)
(Frank gibbering)
(flesh tearing)
- Silas, Silas, get back here!
Goddammit, Silas!
(dramatic music)
(bones crunching)
Aww, shit.
- Where in the hell did he go?
Goddammit, he could be anywhere.
You go that way, keep an
eye out for the beast.
Silas, show yourself.
(creature growling)
(tense music)
- Where are you hiding?
I ain't gonna hurt you.
Not too much, anyway.
Come on. Come on, preacher.
Going to get you. End of the road.
(shot firing)
(indistinct)
(shots firing)
Damn!
(gun cocking)
(shots firing)
(tense music continues)
You better come outta there preacher.
I'm gonna make you the
holiest man there is.
(gun cocking)
- No, don't! (whimpering)
(creature growling)
It's here, it's here!
Don't let him, don't let it get me!
Don't, please, Mr. Riffen!
(shots firing)
(creature growling)
- [Anna] Mr. Black!
- Let's get him to the saloon.
(Nicodemus coughing)
I got you. I got you.
I got you there, boy.
Hold on.
Almost there, almost there.
(crickets chirping)
- Get out, now.
- No, no, please. You know Delucie?
- Don't make me shoot you.
(door creaking)
- I got you, I got you, I got you.
- Alcohol and rags.
- Whoa, whoa. Slow, slow down.
Got your chair right there.
Stay. Stay.
Stay, sit up, sit up.
(tense music)
(Nicodemus groaning)
- Stay with me, partner.
- Johnny Reb, calling me partner.
I must be dead or something. (laughing)
- Ain't nobody get to kill you but me.
- Them traps out there,
they ready, Johnny.
- Okay. Stay with me, buddy.
Come on. Come on.
Miss Anna.
(door banging)
(preacher shouting)
- Please, please don't kill me.
- Get in.
- Yes, yes.
I deserve it. I deserve to be locked up.
(door clanging)
I'm a bad man.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, sir, God.
Please forgive me.
(lock clinking)
You'll be safe in here.
- Mercy. Hallelujah.
(tense music)
Mercy Hallelujah.
God. (panting)
(metal clanking)
(shot firing)
(creature growling)
(door banging)
(Silas shouting)
(indistinct)
No, no!
(creature growling)
(Silas screaming)
(flesh crunching)
(Silas screaming)
(hawk calling)
(creature growling)
- Hallelujah.
What did I tell you?
You feed the preacher to the
skinwalker, end of story.
(glasses clinking)
- Let's hope so.
- You better hurry up then, Miss Anna.
What little brains this
man has left is gonna
fall out of his head.
- Least I got something to lose.
- Just making sure you're still with us.
(tense music)
(metal banging)
- Over there. Outside.
(creature growling)
It's still here.
- What the...
- This thing's not gonna stop.
- What is that?
(wood banging)
(creature growling)
(footsteps banging)
What is that?
(Anna whimpering)
(building banging)
(creature banging)
(creature growling)
(indistinct)
- I don't know. I don't know.
- [Anna] He's coming. He's coming!
(creature growling)
- No, ah!
(Cody screaming)
(Anna gasping)
(all screaming)
(creature growling)
(Silas panting)
(tense music)
- Beau, what the hell are you doing?
(Anna whimpering)
Beau?
- I'm doing what needs to be done.
- I hate to be the bear of bad news,
but I'm running low on bullets.
- It's all right. I
got something stronger.
- [Cody] What is that, gunpowder?
- It's the ashes of a pure soul.
- I think I'd rather have gunpowder.
- I'm gonna lead it down to the trap.
You get this in it, get it on it, somehow.
- The hell am I supposed
to do, bake a pie?
What you doing, Yankee?
- Setting the trap.
- Damn it, don't you dare!
- I can't, Parnum, I can't.
I can't keep running.
I'm as broken as that shaman.
- Don't do it, Yankee.
- You let me do this. You let me do it!
- Goddammit, Yankee. Don't do it!
(steel clashing)
(Beau yelling)
I'll get you outta there.
- No, you find cover. Be ready!
Be ready!
(creature growling)
(lighting crashing)
(creature growling)
(Cody yelling)
Come on!

(dramatic music)
Parnum!
Ah!
Parnum!

(creature growling)
- Mr. Parnum, Mr. Parnum, are you okay?
- (coughs) Yeah.

(Anna shouting)
(dramatic music)
(Beau yelling)
(creature roaring)
(lightning crashing)
(monster roaring)
(birds singing)
(fire crackling)
(birds singing continues)
- Think I saw Jesus last night, right?
And he wasn't too happy to see me.
Yankee?
- He's gone.
- Maybe he's finally at peace.
- This town was nice, once.
(solemn music)
I remember it as a little girl.
- Maybe it could be like
that again, Miss Anna.
Like the phoenix rising up from the ash.
(horse whinnying)
- Well, ain't that the prettiest
sight you've ever seen?
Believe that horse's name is Frank.
Now Frank and I, we're gonna head west.
On my out, gonna make a
withdrawal from the bank.
I'll leave you two a little something.
- That's mighty of kind of you.
- Adios, amigos!
- Safe travels, Mr.
Cody. We'll see you soon.
Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away
- Coffee, Mr. Black?
- I think I may like that, Miss Anna.

- That a nudie?
Come on. That's nudie, isn't it?
Now you think I could be a Pinkerton?
Because I think I'd be
one damned good Pinkerton.
I ain't scared of a gunfight.
You know I can ride for days--
- No.
- Well, okay.
(tense music)
(heavy breathing)
Everybody was wanting (indistinct).
- What in tarnation?
(horses whinnying)
- Damn near ripped
myself a brand new hole--
(indistinct)
Now I'm mighty grateful
we weren't chasing--
(creature growling)
My nag took, it sent a jolt
of fire right up my backside.
(creature growling)
I ain't felt no pain like
that down (indistinct).
(creature growling)
(ground crunching)
I've fallen down the street (indistinct)
part of the day just
hunkered down in the privy.
(twig snapping)
- Something's coming.
(creature growling)
(tense music)
(gun cocking)
(creature growling)

- The horses!
- Richard!
Richard!
(gun cocking)
(tense music)
(branch snapping)
- It's just me. It's just me.
Something ripped right through the reins.
- Indians?
- I don't think so.
Navajo territory ain't no place
to ride a (indistinct).
Bandits?
- Maybe.
- What the fuck you want to do then? Huh?
We got no horse to ride--
(creature growling)
(tense music)
- Think it's coyotes?
- No, that was big.
Real big.
- A wolf pack maybe, it's something
that'd the horses and it's close by.
We should check.
- You can check.
- Ain't safe to wander.
- So we're just supposed
to stand here 'till sun up?
(indistinct), check.
- Stand down, Yankee.
I'll assess the situation.
Ezra, keep Mr. Big City here company.
(tense music)
(gun cocking)
- How close you think it was?
- Oh, it was right up on us.
Maybe 20 feet or something.
- Mountain lions?
- No, lions are skittish.
Not even a paw print.
(tense music)
Ez?
Quit ginning about.
You're making me nervous.
- My gut is turned on this one, boys.
I say we go back to Copper Creek.
All right, it's a half
a day's walk from here.
We can regroup, we can get new steeds,
shit, we'll be back in a
couple days, now come on, Cody!
- Ez is right.
It's rough territory up here.
Indian land ain't no place
to be without a horse.
- How long on foot?
- Day, maybe more.
- We continue on at first light.
- You know you got a real
hard on from train robbers.
- I'll continue on by myself if I have to.
- No, we stick together.
We soldier on together.
- Fuck, fuck, fuck!
(tense music continues)
And I got first watch.
Shit, this just ain't my night.
- Don't get too roostered up.
Stay sharp.

Beckett!
- Ezra!
- [Cody] Beckett!
- Ezra!
- Beckett!
- Ezra!
- A deserter?
- Yeah, it looks like it.
Better off without that fat fuck anyway.
Alright. Grab your gear.
Take what you can carry.
- What about the tent and the saddle?
- You gonna carry that?
Let's Yankee, time's a wasting.

- Sir, are you all right?
Sir?
(flies buzzing)
(tense music)
- Looks like something slit his throat.
(man coughing)
He's still alive.
(man speaking foreign language)
- [Beau] What's he saying?
- He's saying something about an animal.
(man speaking foreign language)
- [Beau] Is he praying?
- No.
- Por favor.
- I think he's saying "kill me, please."
(man speaking foreign language)
- Sir, we're gonna get you to Purgatory.
- No, por favor, no.
- Doesn't sound like he wants to.
- Yeah, I got that.
- Help me get him up.
- Padre.
(man speaking foreign language)
- [Cody] How long do you
think he's gonna last?
- We can't just leave him here like this.
- I do agree with you on that, Yankee.
(shot firing)
- God damn it, the hell
did you do that for?!
- Because it was the right thing to do.
Now let's make haste.
Whoever did this to him,
they might want to do that to us.
Yankee.
(tense music)
(hawk calling)
There she is.
You see that?
- What is it?
- Bit chilly not to have
a fire burning somewhere.
No smoke, nothing.
- What are you thinking?
- I don't know yet.
Keep your eyes peeled.
First thing we gotta do
is get some fresh horses.
God knows I could hit a
stake right about now.
(tense music)
- What the hell?
(wind blowing)
Hello?
- Shh.
(metal creaking)
(tense music continues)
- You think it was Indians?
- I don't know.
(tense music continues)
(wind blowing)

- Let's get outta here.
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(metallic clanging)
(clanging continues)
(chickens clucking)
Hey.
(dramatic music)
- You want your friend's
face to stay where it is?
You put that weapon down, sir.
- Goddamn Yankee.
Put down that gun.
= My apologies for the rude greeting.
- You're the first person we've seen here.
Any idea what happened?
- You ain't seen nobody?
- Not a soul.
- I did notice it was kind of quiet.
But a black man ain't got no
business sticking his nose into
places if you know what I mean.
- You mean to tell me you just come
into town and do your thing and leave?
- I come in the back trails
and leave out the same way I
come in after I do my work.
- I'm better off by myself.
- Huh.
- Johnny Reb.
- What if?
- I just need to know who
I'm dealing with is all.
- Now you know, boy.
- Beau Riffen. This is Cody Parnum.
Pinkerton business.
- Nicodemus Black.
That say?
- Wanted dead or alive.
Frank Henry and John Sparks.
They wanted for bank robbery,
battle jumping and murder.
- Isn't that something?
Always white folk, ain't it?
- We got a notion they're gonna be riding
through town any day
now, Frank and his gang.
- I wish y'all luck in
trying to find your friends,
but the sun's getting low
and I plan on leaving here
as soon as my traps is fixed.
Lost my mule the other night to wolves.
Gotta do the rest on foot.
So long as it's got whiskey and rooms.
(tense music)
- Much obliged.
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(hinge creaking)
(tense music continues)
(glasses clinking)
- I'm good.
- Are you though, Yankee?
(drinks pouring)
(indistinct) isn't he?
- Indians?
- Nah. They would've
burned this whole town
to the ground like they
did in New Ulm Minnesota
some years back.
- What's New Ulm
- Dakota Sioux.
They surrounded New Ulm Minnesota,
started burning from the outside
all the way to the inside.
Along the way they burned
800 men, women and children.
No mercy.
- Jesus Christ.
- Yeah.
Well, white man was
starving them out for years.
Any idiot could have seen it coming.
This, I ain't ever seen
anything like this.
Goddamn, I needed that.
(monkeys whooping)
It sounds like there
might be a circus in town.
(tense music)
(man gibbering)
(man laughing)
(tense music continues)
(man gibbering)
(man screaming)
(scare chord)
(man laughing)
- Goddammit.
(door creaking)
(man gibbering)
- Sir.
Sir.
(tense music)
- Water.
- What's your name, sir?
- Name?
- Your name.
- R-reverend.
- Silas, Silas Fist.
- Reverend?
What's a man of the cloth
doing locked up in here?
(flies buzzing)
(tense music)
(door opening)
Goddammit boy, you keep popping your
weaselly ass up in here,
you're gonna catch a bullet.
- Please.
W-water.
- Mr. Black.
Could you kindly get the
reverend some water, please?
(tense music)
- I can do that.
- The hell are you doing?
- We're gonna let him outta here.
- Let him out, we don't
know what the hell he did.
By the way, he looks like he's insane.
- He is the only man in town
who knows what the hell happened.
I'm not gonna let him die in here.
- I say we keep Padre
right when we can find him.
- Thank you.
Bless you, son.
- You know him?
- Seen him preaching the end
of the world in the middle
of the town square from time to time.
- Bless you. Oh, thank you God.
God bless you.
- Pinkerton. I need to have
a word with you outside.
(keys clanking)
(tense music)
Things ain't looking good, Pinkerton.
I say we get as many supplies as we can
and get the hell out of town.
If we're lucky, we catch a
stage coach headed north.
- I'm staying.
- That was not a suggestion.
I was being polite.
- Reno and his gang will be here any day.
I will not miss my chance.
- Then you will not miss your
chance all by your lonesome.
(tense music)
- You're a coward.
- Maybe.
Or maybe my mama didn't raise
no fool. You see this town?
Hmm?
I don't know what the hell
happened here, but it's done.
It's cooked.
And the only people
here is the angry negro
and the crazy preacher.
- And me for now.
- Well, as pretty as you are, Pinkerton,
that ain't enough to make me stay.
- Good enough.
(tense music continues)
Half up front, half on delivery.
There you go.
- Much obliged.
Take my advice. Find
yourself some weapons.
Reno gang against one ain't a fair fight.
- You ain't never seen me fight.
- Adios.
(tense music continues)
(wind blowing)
(lantern clinking)
(wind continues blowing)
(door opens)
Well I'll be goddamned.
Woo, sweet Jesus. (laughing)
(light music)
My goodness.
(gun clicks)
(tense music)
You the sheriff of Purgatory now?
- Until somebody else shows up.
- This is just paper. It's nobody's money.
It's being wasted here.
You and I could split this.
60/40.
- Folks might come back.
- What, they out having a picnic,
eating pies, drinking ginger beer,
maybe having a three-legged
sack race with the boys?
- It's sad not to be that I'm sure,
but until I find out, the money goes back.
(light music)
- Goddamned fool, Yankee.
- My wife told me that on
more than one occasion,
- Well the least you can
do is buy me a drink.
- That I can do.
- Where's my tail, Yankee?
- You left your bags at the saloon.
- Goddamn, I need to think that through.
(gun cocking)
(gun firing)
- Do not discharge your
weapon on a public street.
- What don't you get, Yankee?
There ain't anybody here but us chickens.
(gun cocking)
Bam!
(shot firing)
(glass breaking)
That Johnny Reb,
(Cody clucking)
still got a mean bone in him, don't he?
(gun firing)
Guess he's still pissed he lost the war.
(tense music)
(crickets chirping)
(wolf howling)
(tense music continues)
(scare chord)
Getting dark out.
Gonna take the reverend
some food and drink.
- Yeah, you do that boy.
(tense music continues)
(crickets chirping)
(tense music)
- Hello?
(tense music continues)
- We know he didn't do it.
Maybe he went all at Turner on this town.
- Nat Turner.
- You know, led a slave rebellion
few years back, 200 people died.
- You see that old
rifle he carries around?
- So?
- You don't hunt humans with
an old carbine like that.
Besides, he could have done us in earlier.
- Yeah, he's been awfully
friendly with that preacher.
- Friendly.
- He brought him water.
- Because I asked him to.
- Well, he didn't have to.
(crickets chirping)
(creature growling)
How long are you gonna
wait for the Reno gang?
- As long as it takes.
- What happens if they change plans?
- They'll be here.
(wood banging)
Goddammit, your black ass too stupid
to know what it's good for?
- Goddammit, Parnum, ain't
nobody got time for this.
You better listen to
what this man gotta say.
(tense music)
- Yes, please.
Calms my nerves.
- Go ahead.
(tense music continues)
- Six, six months ago, a
Navajo girl come into town,
looked like she'd been
thrown from her horse.
Her arm hung limp like,
and she struggled a bit to walk,
made her way right here into the saloon.
The bar owner come over to help out,
but he got shoved aside by
a couple of ranch hands.
Said they'd bring her over
to the doctor's house.
Next day, sheriff found
her body behind the stable.
Violated, her dress all up over her head.
Couldn't have been more than 15. Shame.
It turns out she was a shaman's daughter.
He wanted whoever did it dead.
Now, I, I fought with the sheriff
and I said, I, I, I told him,
"Let the heathens have their justice."
He wouldn't have it.
He said, "Justice has got to be done
"by proper law, not Indian law."
That did not go over well
with this medicine man.
He rode out of this town with
that girl's dead body hoisted on his horse
and cursing every one of us.
I said, "Sheriff, I will
see these men hanged."
He threw me in jail
and he told me to cool off
until I, I saw the light.
- How long ago was this?
- Maybe two weeks ago.
- So you're saying that
this is all Navajo doing?
- I am.
I heard such screaming
and yelling and I said,
"Jeremiah, Babylon will
be a heap of ruins,
"a haunt of jackals, an
object of horror and scorn.
"A place of (indistinct)."
- Why don't you take
the preacher here to one
of the rooms to get washed up?
- I don't believe I work for you, sir.
- Please.
- Reverend.
- Ah, you think the calvary
would've showed up on now.
- Maybe they didn't get word.
- Maybe they on their way.
- Still doesn't explain
where all the bodies are.
- Yeah, I think they would've
scalped them or burned them.
Sent some kind of message.
- Nicodemus?
Hello?
Nicodemus.
(door creaking)
(stairs creaking)
- Psst.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
Nothing.
(woman yells)
(Cody yells)
(dramatic music)
(both grunting)
- Get off me, no! Put me down!
(indistinct)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ma'am, I pride myself on
never having shot a woman.
But if you don't put
that pig sticker down,
I will blow a hole in your face.
- Look, we are not gonna hurt you.
Put your gun down.
Put it down.
Okay.
- Food.
- We can do that.
- Poor woman damn near starving.
Seems like those that survived,
they're a little bit crazy,
like they seen a ghost or something.
(tense music)
(woman speaking foreign language)
What did you say?
- Navajo, means walks on all fours.
- [Beau] What, what walks on all fours?
Ma'am, are you saying Indians did this?
- Not Indians. One Indian.
- Hold on now.
You mean to tell me one man did all this?
- It's not a man.
It's a skinwalker.
(dramatic music)
- [Beau] What is that?
- It's a Navajo myth.
It's ghost stories they
tell around the campfire.
- That's what I thought Mr.
Cody, until one night one
of these myths came down the mountain,
walked right into Purgatory,
and hasn't left.
He has the power to
shapeshift into any creature.
He can wield black magic,
enlist creatures of the night,
raise the dead, wreak havoc on the world.
- Why now? Why Purgatory?
- An Indian girl has been
raped and murdered here.
It was a shaman's daughter.
- Old wives' tales, prairie (indistinct).
- You might as well just
kill each other now,
because we are all going
to be dead soon enough.
You will see.
You will see it with your own eyes.
- Hello, Anna.
What sort of stories have you
been telling these gentlemen?
You see, miss Anna here was
exiled to the far outskirts
of town years ago for telling her stories.
She talks and cavorts with
the Redskins out there.
Wouldn't be at all surprised
if she didn't worship their false gods.
Take a look at that talisman
she wears around her neck.
- It's sage. It keeps the beast away.
- You also have to ask yourself,
how is it she survived when
so many others have perished?
(tense music)
- Miss Anna!
(wolves growling)
- It's just wolves, lapping up the remains
of the Indian massacre.
(gun cocking)
(gun firing)
(wolf snapping)
- All right, everybody back inside, now.
- Come on, Miss Anna. Come on.
Come on, man.
(wolf snapping)
(tense music continues)
(thunder rolling)
- All right. We all
need to get some sleep.
We'll assess our options in the morning.
We'll gather weapons, rations, and water.
- Well, I say we leave at first light,
because if this thing is real
and I am not saying that it is,
apparently it's a night stalker.
- We're safe here. You said so yourself.
It's three days in any direction.
At least here we have the
protection of the town.
Out there, we're more vulnerable.
- How convenient.
If we stay here, you have the opportunity
to continue your Pinkerton business.
- Pinkerton business?
- Mr. Riffen over here is
expecting the Reno gang to ride
through your fair town.
- Are they dangerous?
- Why don't we hold fire
until we make up our minds?
Cut for me please.
Low card takes first watch.
- I'd like a card, please.
- I'm sorry?
- I can keep watch.
I've been keeping it for
almost two weeks now.
- Ma'am, as a proper southern
gentleman, I cannot allow you,
as spirited as you are, to take watch.
- How about the reverend?
Don't he get one too?
- Oh gentlemen, my faith
is strong, clearly, but--
- This is my game.
I called it and I say no
women and no men of the cloth.
- Well he's a goddamn man, ain't he?
- Fuck!
I got first watch, the rest
of you get some goddamn sleep.
(thunder crashing)
(reverend sighs)
(thunder crashing)
You should be sleeping.
- I'll sleep when I'm dead.
- Well, it sounds like you'll
be sleeping soon enough.
(wind howling)
- It's the same sound we heard
by the fire the other night.
(wolves howling)
- Listen, I've been thinking.
I'll distract it while you and Nicodemus,
you get everybody else to safety.
Head south to the hills.
- What about the wolves?
- You and Nicodemus can take
care of 'em with your rifles.
- So what?
You just stay here and
become skinwalker chow?
(tense music)
(banging on wood)
- Mr. Riffen?
That you?
Hello, Mr. Riffen?
(lock unlatching)
(tense music continues)
Oh.
(tense music continues)
Oh...
Oh my God!
(scare chord)
How, how did you, you get in here?
(reverend panting)
What, what do you want?
You will, you will not torment me!
Leave me alone!
(girl hissing)
(reverend screaming)
- What happened? You alright? I saw her.
- I saw her. I saw her.
I saw her, I saw her there there.
- Who?
- She was there.
The Indian girl, back there. Back there.
That was--
- We're here, Padre.
- What the hell is going on in here?
- Reverend had a bad dream.
- I, uh...
- I'll make coffee.
(birds chirping)
(rooster crowing)
(coffee pouring)
(coffee pouring)
- Bless you, son.
(horse whinnying)
(horse snorting)
- Hello?
Hello?
Hello.
Anybody here?
Hello, goddammit?
- We got company.
(horse nickering)
- Anybody here?
- It's them.
You're with me.
(gun cocking)
(tense music)
Leave it. I don't wanna spook 'em.
- What about your badge?
Why don't we take 'em down now?
- Because I wanna find out where they're
meeting the rest of the gang.
(man groaning)
- You gonna be all right, son
- Oh...
- Come on son.
- Come on.
- Over here.
- We need a doctor.
- Let's get him inside.
- I don't need a goddamn
drink. I need a doctor.
- There's nobody in this town but us.
(man groaning)
- What are you talking about?
- Oh...
- Lay him down there.
Just lay down there.
- Get some alcohol and rags.
- Right here, right here.
(man groaning)
Easy, easy.
- Reverend, get a lantern.
You're gonna be all
right, son, just hold on.
(man groaning)
- He just lost a lot of blood. Okay.
(liquid trickling)
(man screaming)
- Hey!
You think twice about what
you're doing next, lady.
- I have to cauterize the
wound or he's going to die.
- Don't let her do it, Pa.
- Stay strong, son.
You're gonna be all right.
- [Injured Man] No!
- [Man] Don't look at
the fire. Look at me.
You look at me, John.
- No, no...
- Hold on, hold on.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
(tense music)
- You hold him.
Say a prayer, son. Now!
(wound sizzling)
(man screaming)
- Goddamn mountain lion got his arm.
- [Man] Came in a flash and was gone.
- Seems like that mountain lion's
been paying us all a visit.
- So you're telling me that we're
the only ones in this town, huh?
- Yep.
- Strange.
Indians?
- We think.
- When'd you boys get to town?
- [Beau] We've been
here for a couple days.
- Y'all passing through, just like us?
- I bought some property
outta Copper Creek.
Mr. Parnum here was escorting me to it.
And then we lost our horses and then this.
What about you boys? Where are you headed?
- Nowhere specific. Just riding the range.
Looking for opportunities.
- Well, this is the land
of opportunity, isn't it?
(tense music)
- Why is he still here?
- Mr. Black.
- Mr. Black.
Why is Mr. Black still in the saloon?
- You gonna try and make me leave?
- Boy.
- Say the word, Pa.
(tense music)
- [Beau] Frank, let's have another shot.
- What'd you call me?
- Frank.
- I never told you my name.
- Sure you did, earlier.
- No. See, I'd remember.
'cause I don't give it out so easily.
- And I don't know how I--
- The boy, the boy's been
mumbling nothing but.
- Pa, boy calls me Pa.
You know what?
You're thinking of my horse.
My horse is also named Frank.
(gang laughing)
Mr. Black, why don't you
pour us some more drinks?
Make yourself useful. (whistles)
- I'll do it.
- I don't mind a pretty
girl waiting on us either.
- I'll take care of the trapper.
- Yeah, why don't you do that?
- You wanna step outside?
- Yes sir, Mr. Riffen, sir.
(tense music)
- You got those traps ready?
- I just need to grease them up is all.
- Alright, here's what we're gonna do.
I'm gonna hit you and then you're gonna
go grease those traps.
Make it look good. They're watching.
You ready?
(Nicodemus grunting)
- Whoo!
Your friend cracked the old
negro right across the jaw.
(tense music)
- Good. Gotta keep 'em in line.
- Awh...
- (sighs) I tell you,
the only thing worse than the black man
is the red man, savages all of them.
- Here, here.
(glasses clinking)
Whoo!
- Well, young lady, tell
me, are you traveling
with these fine gentlemen?
- No, I'm not.
- Well, we're all alone
in this town apparently.
You and I could have some fun then
- Mr. Frank, if you don't
get your hand off my
bottom, I'm going to cut it off.
(men laughing)
- Wow. I love this one!
You've got spunk? Yeah.
(John groaning in agony)
- A real bed might be easier
on him. There's rooms upstairs.
- Can you find some laudanum?
There should be some in the general store.
(John groaning)
- I'll give it a gander.
- Where are you heading?
- Looking for some ladanum for Miss Anna.
- I got Nicodemus setting
traps in the bank.
If the Reno boys make
a move for the money,
we'll get 'em.
- Good to know.
(dramatic music)
Yankee, where you going?
Yankee?
Yankee, did you see something?
(tense music continues)
(birds chirping)
(tense music continues)
(gun cocking)
(door opening)
(Cody coughing)
(dramatic music)
Oh Lord.
What in God's name?
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(scare chord)
- No, don't shoot...
- What?
(woman groaning)
- My baby. (coughing)
Please, save my son.
- It's okay.
(flies buzzing)
It's okay.
(woman coughing)
(tense music continues)
- We didn't walk into Purgatory.
We stepped into Hell.
Going to find the trapper.
(doors creaking)
(stretcher creaking)
- (sighs) All right.
You check on him again in a couple hours.
- You boys part of the Reno gang?
(tense music)
- Say the word, Pa.
- Please. They're Pinkertons.
Mr. Riffen and the others.
- What are you talking about?
- He knows who we are, let me take him.
- Wait, there, there's money.
- Oh, sit, Pa!
- Hold on, hold on.
What's your game, preacher?
Bank got a drop off just
before the town went empty.
There's money. Lots of it.
- What's in it for you?
- I just want a piece of it. The bank.
Well, at least you're honest
about your profession.
Alright, listen.
We're gonna play nice with the Pinkertons
for a couple days 'till
John's feeling better.
Then we'll make our move. Got it?
- Yes sir.
(tense music)
- This is some horseshit.
(energetic piano music)
- Like it?
- Did you find the laudanum?
- What?
- The laudanum.
- No, wasn't there.
- Mr. Cody.
Mr. Cody.
Are you all right?
- Miss Anna, I have seen
things in the war that
I wish, I pray, could be unseen,
but I have never seen anything like this.
- What is it? What did you see?
- We found your townsfolk.
All of them.
- Where?
Where are they hiding?
- In the chapel.
And they are not hiding.
(tense music)
They all...
(dramatic music)
(John groaning)
- Johnny, Johnny!
- [Gang Member] Joe?
- Johnny?
(John groaning)
(John coughing)
- God, please help me.
- Dear God.
(dramatic music)
- Who did this to you, boy?
- It was the devil. (coughing)
- Pa, don't.
Please Pa, I'm begging you, don't!
- Henry, boy.
- No.
- He's gone.
- Goddammit...
- Pa...
No, please.
Pa, no.
- Please.
(shot firing)
- Goddammit.
(tense music)
- Who did this to my boy--
- It was the skinwalker--
- Come on now, Frank.
- Who did this to him?
- Come on now, I don't know.
- Need to do justice, right now.
- Frank...
(blow landing)
(dramatic music)
(blows landing)
(Frank yelling)
(blows landing)
(indistinct)
- Take it easy.
Need to keep him alive 'till
we're with the other two men.
- And then we kill 'em all.
- Let her go, Frank.
She ain't got nothing to do with this.
- Oh, we're gonna let her go,
with us when we leave this town.
They gutted my son.
And now I'm gonna gut you slowly.
I need you to howl for
your friends to hear.
- Frank, please.
- Whose side you on, reverend??
- So there it is. Let Judas amongst us.
- And then Christ suffered on the cross.
(Cody screaming)
(dramatic music)
(flesh tearing)
- For the love of God, Frank
- It's an eye for an eye.
- Those men did not kill your son.
- I told you not to talk!
If they didn't do it, who did?
- A beast.
- That thing that attacked
John the other night,
that, that was some kind of monster.
- Shut up.
There ain't no such thing.
- There is. And he's here.
(tense music continues)
- Listen lady, the only monster you have
to worry about in this town is me.
(Cody screaming)
(Cody panting)
(horse whinnying)
- (indistinct) the horses.
- What the hell's going
on with our horses?
Go check. Hurry up!
(horses whinnying)
(tense music)
- Geez Pa, the horses.
- Goddammit it, talk to me!
Where the hell's my horses?
Talk!
(Cody coughing)
- That all you got?
(shot firing)
(glass breaking)
(shot firing)
(Frank shouting)
(shots firing)
- Are they gone?
- Yes, they've left.
- What took you so long?
- Well, we got a little held up.
You all right?
- Still on this side of the dirt.
- You stay here with Miss Anna.
Nicodemus and I, we'll go find them.
- Oh no, no, no, no, no.
Now I got a bone to pick,
and I can't let you have
all the fun, now can I?
(tense music continues)
(gun cocking)
- Mr. Black, you stay here with Ms. Anna.
You sure you're up for this?
- No.
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
- Reverend, you all right?
(shots firing)
(dramatic music)
- Come on.
(shots firing)
(dramatic music continues)
- Come on, move, move!
(shots firing)
Up, come on.
(shots firing)
(gun clicking)
(shots firing)
(shot firing)
Ah, no, Henry!
(shots firing)
(dramatic music)
Run boy, run! Let's go!
(shots firing)
Go!
(dramatic music)
(shots firing)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music)
(shots firing)
(shots firing)
(Henry grunting)
(scare chord)
(Henry screaming)
(tense music)
(Frank panting)
Oh shit, how's your arm?
- I'm gonna be all right.
- All right. I think we shook him.
(men panting)
(wood crashing)
(creature panting)
- It's a beast, a goddamn beast!
- My god.
- No, no, no, no, no!
- Come on, come on, come on.
Let's go.
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
Check behind that door.
What's wrong, preacher?
- The devil. He's coming, he's coming.
- Devil's gonna get you out.
- Crazy preacher was right!
- Oh shit.
Look at all that.
Here, fill it up.
(Frank laughing)
Yeah.
Be quick, boy. We gotta move.
(Henry screaming)
(dramatic music)
- My leg, my goddamn leg! (screaming)
Pa, get me outta there.
- Shh, shh, shh, shh.
(wood banging)
You're gonna be all right.
I gotta lead it away.
- What are you doing?
- Fire off a few shots.
Get it to follow me.
You're gonna be fine.
Let's go, preacher.
(wood banging)
(creature roaring)
- Pa, it's coming, goddamn it!
- Go!
I'll be back for you, son.
- Pa, please don't leave me. (screaming)
(creature roaring)
(dramatic music)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's us.
They moved on to the bank.
We need to reload.
- Goddammit, why did you ever let
that coward outta the stockade?
- Well, it's hard for me to
see another man locked up,
but I don't suppose you
know anything about that
being from Dixie and all.
- You preaching to me?
Damn Yankees cast lots for my land.
Split it up amongst
slaves that I never owned.
That I never owned!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
There are no winners here.
None of us.
We all lost something.
Let's not lose again.
- I'm out, I'm outta sage.
I need more.
This is what kept me alive,
but it doesn't last long.
I have to go back to my place to get more.
- Anna, wait.
I'm sorry Mr. Riffen but I need to go.
- I got her.
- You, you reload that Henry.
You find some high ground.
You see anything, you shoot
it and I mean anything.
I'll cover the front.
(wood banging)
(creature growling)
(dramatic music)
(creature growling)
(bones cracking)
(dramatic music)
(Henry choking)
- Dead quiet all of a sudden.
- It's nearby.
- This thing, it get your husband?
- No, I live by myself.
- If you don't mind my asking,
what a fine lady like you
doing way on the outskirts by yourself?
- I'd rather not say
- It got something to do
with that preacher, don't it?
(creature growling)
- We must hurry!
(tense music)
(crickets chirping)
(tense music continues)
- Miss Anna, you wanna tell
me about that preacher?
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- What? What are you talking about?
- He's coming to get me.
- Who's coming?
- God. God have mercy on my soul.
- Damn it.
(shot firing)
(preacher grunts)
You better start talking, Reverend.
And I want the truth.
- I have never told anybody this story.
When I was a young girl,
the Reverend Silas,
he made advances towards me.
Fought him off and ran.
He then told his flock
that I was the young harlot
who had tempted him into sin,
but he avoided my advances
with his fortitude and faith.
The town turned on us,
and now I fear the
reverend has sinned again.
(creature growling)
We must go.
- All clear for the moment.
- Gentlemen, I need y'all to listen
to what Ms. Anna gotta say now.
- I can't be certain as,
I'm an outsider here,
but I think the Reverend Silas raped
and killed the shaman's daughter.
Everybody in Purgatory knew,
but they stayed silent.
- That's probably why the
preacher's congregation's
lying dead in this church.
- The reverend was locked up
because they was gonna
hang him for the murder
and the skinwalker took
justice into his own hands.
(creature growling)
- No, he'll never stop. Ever.
When someone kills your
child, you become dead inside.
Your pain knows no end.
- You gimme a shot at it,
I know I can trap him.
- But how do we kill it?
- Maybe if we feed the
preacher to the beast,
it'll let up upon us.
- A medicine man once
told me his weakness,
but I'm not sure what it means.
The white ashes of a pure
soul would destroy the beast.
Ashes to ashes.
- Dust to dust.
Thank you, Miss Anna.
Nicodemus, set those traps.
Mr. Parnum, you tend to the lanterns.
I'll be back.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
- Well, I've been tracking it.
It seems to be coming in and
outta town from the south.
I figured I'd put a trap here
and one up near the stables.
- Maybe add a new trap and do it quick.
- I'm gonna need some light.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(metal clanking)
- Nope.
(dramatic music)
(wolves growling)
(tense music continues)
(wolves growling)
(wolves growling)
(fire crackling)
(wolves growling)
(shots firing)
(wolves whimpering)
- Any luck?
- Let's hope your medicine man was right.
Better go set those traps.
(tense music continues)
(flames roaring)
(Frank chuckling)
- And folks, in case you
haven't figured it out by now,
this yellow bellied child rapist
is what that thing is after.
So I'm gonna make you a deal.
I'm gonna take this
money and your weapons.
I'm gonna head outta town
and nobody's gonna follow me.
You get the preacher.
- You're out of your goddamn mind.
- Am I? I think we all
know what's going on here.
- I'm gonna make you a counteroffer.
Frank Sparks, you're under
arrest for the murder
of Maria and Abigail Riffen.
- What are you talking about?
- The train from Chicago to St. Louis.
A year ago, you boys robbed
it. There were casualties.
- Step back, step back, goddammit it.
I'll blow his head off.
- Lemme take him, Yankee.
- No, he's mine.
Frank, I'm taking you in.
I will see you hanged
for the murder of my wife and daughter.
- And I will shoot you both.
So it's you or the preacher. Your choice.
(Frank chuckling)
(creature growling)
(dramatic music)
(Frank gibbering)
(flesh tearing)
- Silas, Silas, get back here!
Goddammit, Silas!
(dramatic music)
(bones crunching)
Aww, shit.
- Where in the hell did he go?
Goddammit, he could be anywhere.
You go that way, keep an
eye out for the beast.
Silas, show yourself.
(creature growling)
(tense music)
- Where are you hiding?
I ain't gonna hurt you.
Not too much, anyway.
Come on. Come on, preacher.
Going to get you. End of the road.
(shot firing)
(indistinct)
(shots firing)
Damn!
(gun cocking)
(shots firing)
(tense music continues)
You better come outta there preacher.
I'm gonna make you the
holiest man there is.
(gun cocking)
- No, don't! (whimpering)
(creature growling)
It's here, it's here!
Don't let him, don't let it get me!
Don't, please, Mr. Riffen!
(shots firing)
(creature growling)
- [Anna] Mr. Black!
- Let's get him to the saloon.
(Nicodemus coughing)
I got you. I got you.
I got you there, boy.
Hold on.
Almost there, almost there.
(crickets chirping)
- Get out, now.
- No, no, please. You know Delucie?
- Don't make me shoot you.
(door creaking)
- I got you, I got you, I got you.
- Alcohol and rags.
- Whoa, whoa. Slow, slow down.
Got your chair right there.
Stay. Stay.
Stay, sit up, sit up.
(tense music)
(Nicodemus groaning)
- Stay with me, partner.
- Johnny Reb, calling me partner.
I must be dead or something. (laughing)
- Ain't nobody get to kill you but me.
- Them traps out there,
they ready, Johnny.
- Okay. Stay with me, buddy.
Come on. Come on.
Miss Anna.
(door banging)
(preacher shouting)
- Please, please don't kill me.
- Get in.
- Yes, yes.
I deserve it. I deserve to be locked up.
(door clanging)
I'm a bad man.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, sir, God.
Please forgive me.
(lock clinking)
You'll be safe in here.
- Mercy. Hallelujah.
(tense music)
Mercy Hallelujah.
God. (panting)
(metal clanking)
(shot firing)
(creature growling)
(door banging)
(Silas shouting)
(indistinct)
No, no!
(creature growling)
(Silas screaming)
(flesh crunching)
(Silas screaming)
(hawk calling)
(creature growling)
- Hallelujah.
What did I tell you?
You feed the preacher to the
skinwalker, end of story.
(glasses clinking)
- Let's hope so.
- You better hurry up then, Miss Anna.
What little brains this
man has left is gonna
fall out of his head.
- Least I got something to lose.
- Just making sure you're still with us.
(tense music)
(metal banging)
- Over there. Outside.
(creature growling)
It's still here.
- What the...
- This thing's not gonna stop.
- What is that?
(wood banging)
(creature growling)
(footsteps banging)
What is that?
(Anna whimpering)
(building banging)
(creature banging)
(creature growling)
(indistinct)
- I don't know. I don't know.
- [Anna] He's coming. He's coming!
(creature growling)
- No, ah!
(Cody screaming)
(Anna gasping)
(all screaming)
(creature growling)
(Silas panting)
(tense music)
- Beau, what the hell are you doing?
(Anna whimpering)
Beau?
- I'm doing what needs to be done.
- I hate to be the bear of bad news,
but I'm running low on bullets.
- It's all right. I
got something stronger.
- [Cody] What is that, gunpowder?
- It's the ashes of a pure soul.
- I think I'd rather have gunpowder.
- I'm gonna lead it down to the trap.
You get this in it, get it on it, somehow.
- The hell am I supposed
to do, bake a pie?
What you doing, Yankee?
- Setting the trap.
- Damn it, don't you dare!
- I can't, Parnum, I can't.
I can't keep running.
I'm as broken as that shaman.
- Don't do it, Yankee.
- You let me do this. You let me do it!
- Goddammit, Yankee. Don't do it!
(steel clashing)
(Beau yelling)
I'll get you outta there.
- No, you find cover. Be ready!
Be ready!
(creature growling)
(lighting crashing)
(creature growling)
(Cody yelling)
Come on!
(creature growling)
(dramatic music)
Parnum!
Ah!
Parnum!
(dramatic music)
(blows landing)
(Beau yelling)
(Beau grunting)
(creature growling)
- Mr. Parnum, Mr. Parnum, are you okay?
- (coughs) Yeah.
(Beau grunting)
(Beau yelling)
- Now, Miss Anna, now!
(Anna shouting)
(dramatic music)
(Beau yelling)
(creature roaring)
(lightning crashing)
(monster roaring)
(birds singing)
(fire crackling)
(birds singing continues)
- Think I saw Jesus last night, right?
And he wasn't too happy to see me.
Yankee?
- He's gone.
- Maybe he's finally at peace.
- This town was nice, once.
(solemn music)
I remember it as a little girl.
- Maybe it could be like
that again, Miss Anna.
Like the phoenix rising up from the ash.
(horse whinnying)
- Well, ain't that the prettiest
sight you've ever seen?
Believe that horse's name is Frank.
Now Frank and I, we're gonna head west.
On my out, gonna make a
withdrawal from the bank.
I'll leave you two a little something.
- That's mighty of kind of you.
- Adios, amigos!
- Safe travels, Mr.
Cody. We'll see you soon.
Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away
- Coffee, Mr. Black?
- I think I may like that, Miss Anna.
