(gentle music)
- Sheriff, men, we have a
solemn duty to lay upon you.
Marshal Dyer, Marshal (indistinct)
and I have been tasked by
the United States government
to apprehend the McCarran gang.
- [Unknown Speaker] Also
known as the Cousins Gang.
- And formerly known as the Brothers Gang.
Now the cousins are Mick and Ned McCarran.
They currently lead the
gang, though we're not sure
which one's top dog.
Ned had a little brother named Shamus.
- [Unknown Speaker] Who I'm
sure you're aware was shot dead
in Pete's Saloon just a few nights ago.
- I'm well aware.
I detained the party that
was responsible for that.
Curious German fella.
Bit of a dandy.
Ended up letting him go though.
There were bounties out on Shamus
and the other man he killed.
Refused to take the reward.
- That's very strange.
- Where is he now?
- Said they were headed out toward Uvalde.
- Said he had some business
with Patton Garrett.
- The Patton Garrett?
- Yes sir.
The same man who shot Billy the Kid.
- I'm not sure how Billy the
kid ties into McCarran's,
but the two brothers who
founded the gang are Liam
and Killian McCarran, a couple
Irish bastards who fought
for the Confederates.
Liam was the gun smuggler
off the Gulf Coast,
but after the Battle of Mobil
Bay, he met with his brother,
Killian, and they did
some revenge raids up
in Mississippi.
Then turned bandit, and
been bastards ever since.
- Sheriff, you know this gang?
- By reputation mostly.
Heard they've been up to some bad business
up and down the valley,
but they've steered clear
of my jurisdiction so far.
- Yeah, well my jurisdiction
runs clear to the Rio Grande,
and they've stained it long enough.
I'm authorized to hire you
men on as federal deputies,
and pay you a posse fee of $150 apiece
when we bring 'em in.
- Dead or alive?
- Dead or alive.
Fortunately, Marshal Dyer
here has got a lead on 'em.
- We recently acquired a
source in the McCarran gang,
and he tells us they're riding
to Killian McCarran's hideout.
They left at first light this morning.
- The hideout is along
San Pedro Creek, just east
of Devil's River on the
outskirts of Del Rio.
- Out in Val Verde County?
That's a hard ride.
Especially when you're chasing men who've
had a full day head start on you.
- We won't be riding.
We will take the train to Del Rio,
and we have arranged for
fresh (indistinct) in town.
- Now if you gentlemen are
ready, I'll swear you in.
I, state your name, do solemnly
swear to uphold the laws
of the United States and
all of its territories.
- I, John Codwell, do solemn
swear to uphold the laws
of the United States, and
all of its territories.
- Deputy.
- I, Peter Jameson.
- [Leader] Do solemnly swear.
- Do solemnly swear.
- [Leader] To uphold the
laws of the United States.
- To uphold the laws of United
States and its territories.
- Swear to do my duty with
courage and dedication.
- To conduct myself at all
times in the spirit of justice.
- And if they don't come peacefully,
I swear to god, I'll shoot
every last son of a bitch.
Sorry, lord.

- Reckon this is where he's hiding?
- Yeah, that looks like Paul's style.
- Oh shit.
- There's someone over there.
- [Ned] Pinkertons?
- Damn, Ned. (chuckling)
No, that's just Wes and Schwartzy.
Not the Pinkerton's.
- Thank god.
All right, they're gonna hold there.
- What are they trying to tell us?
- Ah, who knows?
This gang's big on the the hand signs.
They do a little of this,
they'll do a little that,
and they seem happy.
- I don't like it.
I reckon they're gonna get us killed.
- Oh, they certainly will.
We're just gonna ride
out before that happens.
- I'm thirsty.
Let's go get a drink from the crick.
- Oh, you're not gonna drink
creek water again, are you?
- That's all we got.
- Oh.
Should've worn your brown pants.
(suspenseful music)
- That's San Pedro Creek down there.
Must be getting close.
(suspenseful music continues)
- Marshal (Indistinct), you're with me.
Rest of you, stay here.
We won't be long.
- You've been the rank and law here.
Why has he been running
things since Del Rio?
- That man rode with
a ranger for 20 years.
That's good enough for me.
What about you?
Let's gear up.
(pistol clicking)
- Alright, let's go
find the little bastard.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
- [John] Those our boys down there?
- They sure enough are.
If this is Cillian's
place, we can bag us three
for the price of one.
Looks like they got a couple
more down at the creek.
(indistinct chanting)
- Let's tell the others.
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(pistol clicking)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music ends)
(shotgun clicking)
Two McCarran boys ducked
into a barn about 400 yards
across the field.
We reckon to meet up with the old man.
They got two more men
further down by the creek.
- How you wanna play this?
- Mr. Jameson, Dickey, you two
follow the creek to the east.
Set yourselves up to get the drop on 'em.
But don't open fire 'til you
hear us shouting or shooting.
Marshals, say we go through
that cops of trees of the barn.
Set you and your rifles
up in some prime spots.
I'll get up close and personal
with old (indistinct) here.
Stay low, shoot straight.
Let's go get 'em.
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
- [Uncle] Hush, you're
gonna lose your balls.
- [Mick] Alright, just a second.
- [Uncle] Who the fuck are you?
- Afternoon, uncle.
- Ned?
Son?
Ned, get your ass in here!
- Sir.
- I was going to send for
you boys, but I hadn't yet.
What the fuck are you doing here?
- Adir, we...
We've come with some bad news.
- Well, spit it out, boy.
- It's Shamus.
He's dead.
- What happened?
- Some German Danny shot
him down in San Antonio.
- Does my brother know his son's dead?
- No.
Yeah, we haven't heard from
him from over two years.
That's why he came
looking for (indistinct).
- Well, we'll have to tell him.
- Well let's ride down to
where he is hiding then.
Then down to San Antonio.
Shoot that German son of a bitch down.
- Right, sure we will.
First, there's a little bit of business.
- Business?
What business?
- Come with me.
(dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
- [John] Who the hell are they?
- These (indistinct) ain't
traveling in our direction.
- It's all right.
We'll spread out, take our boys
after this meeting breaks up.
(birds chirping)
(relaxed guitar music)
- Stop.
Paco!
(Uncle speaking in foreign language)
- We ride 150 miles to tell
you your nephew's dead,
and you wanna chew the fat
with some border joker-
- (Indistinct) hold horse, laddy.
Your dad and I have some
wheels to turn in here.
And this one's squeaking.
Let me get it greased,
we'll tend to your vendetta.
- Padre.
I thought you said you would be alone.
- (Indistinct) surely
wouldn't be opposed to my boy
and my favorite nephew coming to visit me.
Unless of course you were planning
to rob a defenseless old man.
- Not you insult me. (scoffing)
We are not thieves.
- Oh, you're not thieves.
Well, if you're not thieves
that clears our deal
something powerful.
- Okay, okay. (chuckling)
We are thieves.
We are excellent thieves,
but we not gonna.
(Paco clicking tongue)
You know?
(Paco speaking in foreign language)
Hey, that's not half.
- 20% as we agreed.
You do the job, finish it,
and get your ass across the border.
- It's not enough.
(Paco speaking in foreign language)
They're gonna bring a lot of heat.
- You're getting paid to take the heat.
You've got a whole nother
country to fuck off into.
We're holding the 80%
as your incentive not
to be leaving too fucking early.
(thief speaking in foreign language)
(Paco speaking in foreign language)
(thief grunting)
- Sorry.
Let's make (indistinct), yes.
How you say?
He married my sister,
but he know nothing about.
(Paco speaking in foreign language)
- Family.
Can't live with 'em.
- Okay, you old bastard.
We have a deal.
- [Paco's Sister] Paco!
- That's my sister.
- (Indistinct) are close.
- I told you this person
was gonna fuck you.
- Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Why would I be in bed with a law man?
They followed your boys.
- Damn it.
We just got found out.
- Okay.
(Paco speaking in foreign language)
They're here for you and your gang.
- Looks like you're in
the gang now, Sancho.
- It's now or never.
- Let's get a move on.
- McCarrans!
This is the United States Marshals.
(dramatic drum music)
We have a federal warrant.
- You two spread out.
Townsend and I'll get 'em on the flank.
- You want some water?
- Now you can boil that stuff first.
(dramatic drum music continues)

(shotgun clicking)
(gunshots blasting)
- Come out, you (indistinct) monster!
(gunshots firing)
Aye, just like old time, boys. (laughing)
(gunshots firing)
- Shit!
Got a man down!
(gunshots firing)
- You best go check on your boys.
I'll keep planking 'em.
For god's sake, keep me outta your sight.
- Right.
(dramatic drum music continues)
(gunshots blasting)
(marshal shouting)

(thieves shouting in foreign language)

(birds chirping)
(Paco speaking in foreign language)
- Hey!
Hey Blackie!
What you doing here, eh?
- Looking for you, Cabro!
(Paco's sister speaking
in foreign language)
(gunshots blasting)
(dramatic drum music continues)
(gunshots blasting)
- We're coming for you, Blackie!
(gunshots blasting)
- Let's make for the barn.
- All right.
(dramatic drum music continues)
(dramatic drum music continues)
(gunshots firing)
(unknown speaker shouting indistinctly)
(gunshots blasting)
- Looks like we got us some
Mexican standoff, boys.
By my count, you're fresh outta Mexicans.
- [Jameson] And we got a
half dozen men coming too.
About a half hour's ride.
- [John] Dammit, Jameson.
- Shit, what else was I gonna say?
- That's right!
You boys are boxed in.
Come out with them hands
high, throw out them irons.
Promise you a fair trial.
(gunshots blasting)
- Ah!
(pistols clicking)
- Running low, Pa!
- Fucking out.
- Meet me out there.
Meet me out there.
(dramatic drum music continues)
(pistol clicking)
(dramatic music ends)
- Another dozen men?
- Ah, he's more full of shit than
that shitter he's hiding behind.
Ain't he?
- No, but I don't see any
need in letting him linger
on the property.
- [Mick And Ned] Holy shit.
- This'll send 'em to hell, or home, boys.
Would you lads be so kind?
- Well, if somebody light the fuse.
- I'll do it.
I got the stronger arm.
- Horse shit.
I hit you square in the head
with a rock at 40 paces.
- That was 20 damn years ago.
- Ah, you boys be wagging your tongue.
Unless of course,
somebody would be
lightening a fire under it.
- Fuck me.
(soft music)
(fuse sizzling)
- Shit.
- Ah, shit.
- Run for cover.
(dynamite blasting)
(men laughing)
- Oh man.
- Oh!
- That's good, boy.
(John and Jameson coughing)
- You okay, sheriff?
- Jesus, Jameson.
- I'm getting too old for this shit.
- Me too.
- Hey boy.
That was a mighty fine
throw you made back there.
- Oh,
thanks, Pa.
- Aye.
- Now that the law's off
us, we got family business.
- What did I tell you back at the barn?
- Chores before whores?
- You're damn right.
And some of 'em, your Pa and
I's plans got blown up right
alongside those Mexicans (indistinct).
- So what are you thinking?
- When's the last time
you boys robbed a train?
- Marshal, McCarran's hightailed it.
(Marshal breathing laboriously)
How bad you hit?
(Marshal coughing and
breathing strainedly)
- Take my gun.
(labored breathing continues)
Take my badge.
Sheriff.
Sheriff, get these sons of bitches for me.
(labored breathing stops)
(cicadas rattling)
- You have a mind to
see this thing through?
- I am,
but we're gonna need help.
- I know a certain German dandy
that might be willing to lend a hand.
Let's go check on Dyer.
(somber guitar music)
Yep.
I expected as much.
- Doing all the goddam marshals.
(someone coughing)
(dramatic drum music)
(person grunting and coughing)
- She's coming with us.
(gentle music)
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music)
(thunder clapping)
(thunder rumbling)
- I don't quite understand
why you wanna do this.
Do you even know how to ride a horse?
Shoot a gun?
You know we're going after
outlaws here, not cow tippers.
- [Jackson] Yeah.
- Damn, you look like a real law man.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
You've come a long way, Jackson.
You know that?
Let's get on back.
Have these (indistinct)
and supper together, huh?
(thunder rumbling)
- It separates me from them.
You ask me why I wanna do this.
It's because upholding the
law, hunting down outlaws,
protecting the innocent, it...
It's my redemption from
the name I inherited.
You know, you and Abby, you took me in.
You raised me right.
You gave me a family, you gave
me something to fight for.
- For 35 years, this
badge has been my flame.
Shines bright, and cuts through the night.
It's guided me in my life.
It led me to you when I
found you as a young boy.
For you, Jackson, it'll be the
flame that draws the moths.
The word gets out,
they will come looking for you.
- This is what I'm meant to do.
It's what we're meant to do.
- You're damn right, son.
And it'll be the death of us.
(fire crackling)
(thunder clapping)
(dramatic music)
Go to hell, you (indistinct) of a bitch!
- [Shooter] You show me
the way first, friend.
(gunshot blasting)
(Jackson breathing heavily and shouting)
(thunder rumbling)
(Jackson coughing)
(leaves rustling)
(Jackson speaking in foreign language)
Who are you?
- Guns do not kill you?
You are pistol proof.
You bleed out for days,
yet you do not die?
And you speak Comanche tongue.
But you are not Comanche.
No.
You tell me, who are you?
- Jackson.
My name is Jackson.
(Moon speaking in foreign language)
(thunder clapping)
(horses neighing)
(family laughing)
(birds chirping)
(somber piano music)
(horse neighing)
(ominous music)
(guns clicking)
- Run!
(gunshot blasting)
(horse neighing)
(daughter screaming)
(gunshots blasting)
(ominous music continues)
(criminals laughing)
(coins clattering)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(thunder clapping)
- [Moon] The viper took their life,
and the fire took their spirit.
But I took their pain,
their tears,
and their cries of redemption.
(thunder clapping)
- [Jackson's Father] Go to
hell, you son of a bitch!
- [Shooter] You show me
the way first, friend.
(gunshot blasting)
- [Masked Person] Ride back to my father.
Tell him the bastard is dead.
(horse huffing)
(horse hooves clomping)
(dramatic music continues)
- He was a father to me.
- And he saved your life.
- Why'd you help me?
You owe me nothing.
- You will avenge him?
- Yes.
- Then it is you who will help me.
We ride, we find this woman,
and we take from her
what she took from us.
- Life?
(Indistinct) bullock deserves
a fate worse than death.
- I know of none!
- If we kill her, we
are no better than her!
- I don't want to be better.
I want fair trade!
- You want revenge.
- How can you deny this?
How can you bring mercy to
a woman who brings death?
- You wouldn't understand.
- You are scared of her.
- No.
I'm scared of becoming her.
(leaves rustling softly)
(birds chirping)
- Bless me Father, for I have sinned.
There's been much blood, bullets,
and bamboozling since my
last confession. (chuckling)
And I'm not gonna beat the devil
around the stump with you, father.
I ain't seeking forgiveness for any of it.
I've been having too
much damn fun. (laughing)
But what I am asking for today
is for forgiveness for a man
that I am going to kill.
You see, something about this one,
it doesn't sit right with me, father.
It goes against my better nature.
See, there's 25 years bad
blood between us and I.
The unfortunate thing about all this,
it wasn't personal.
It was simply business.
(ominous music)
(gunshot blasting)
(Bullock laughing)
The big bad law man, slithering
like the snake that you are.
- Jackson.
Come on, son, wake up.
Go to hell, you (indistinct) of a bitch!
(gun clicking)
- You show me the way first, friend.
(gunshot blasting)
It's a hell of a thing having
to put down your daddy's bastard
like he's some sort of sick dog.
And can you believe that?
Going after his own blood, you
know, his own birth father.
That is breaking several
of the commandments,
I reckon. (chuckling)
I tried to do right by him as a sister.
Give him the dignity of being honorable
that he lusted for so badly.
But the poor boy can't even
stay dead proper. (snorting and laughing)
I blame his mother.
She was a real whore.
No, I mean literally,
she was a... (laughing)
Say.
You're awfully quiet there, Padre.
(fist crashing)
(Bullock shouting)
(gun clicking)
(Bullock grunting)
- My name was Jackson Bullock,
until you all abandoned me and
left me to die in your sin.
And now I've come back to you.
Your sin made flesh.
(Bullock spitting)
- You got what it takes to kill me, boy?
Huh?
You ever killed anybody before?
You gonna come after our father next?
He gave you life, he gave you purpose,
he gave you your goddam name!
- You wanna see what he gave me?
You wanna see how far this
apple falls from the tree?
You wanna see how much blood
of Clayton Bullock is
pumping through my veins?
(ominous music)
Maybe someday.
But I'm not gonna kill you today.
The unfortunate thing
about all this is I do,
I want to make it personal, but,
this is simply business.
(gun clicking)
- Sorry, Jackson.
Looks like some of the family
followed me from confession.
Give it to me, huh?
You ain't no gunslinger.
(Jackson grunting)
I've got a real darkness
festering in me, Jackson.
Even our own father thinks
my soul isn't worth saving.
Get him up.
I thought our father
would be thrilled to learn
that I had gotten rid of
his embarrassing bastard,
and that dusty U.S. Marshall
that you called daddy.
Imagine my surprise when
our cousins showed up
without their tongues, and
a note in blood exiling me
from the family for
killing his only male heir.
You.
The Bullock who denied his
blood to wear the badge.
His heir.
- Is that what this is about?
Your lack of manhood?
- No, quite the opposite. (sniffling)
This is about the futility of manhood.
Clayton Bullock may have
been the king of the West,
but he's gotten soft, and his
judgment is to be questioned.
I'm afraid that he's no longer
fit to lead the Bullock gang!
- And you are?
What do you think he's
gonna do to you, Roan?
He finds out you went behind his back.
- I've taken enough gold
and silver from Redskins
to turn this gang into an army.
My vision is in line
with the new frontier.
- You can't go around
spilling the blood of Indians
for silver and gold, and
not expect repercussions.
- Oh, what type of repercussions?
(someone howling and screaming)
Go.
Jackson.
(bird cawing)
(suspenseful music)
(Moon shouting)
(metal slashing)
(masked person grunting)
(gunshots blasting)
(Bullock grunting)
(gunshots blasting)
(masked persons shouting)
Go!
(epic music)
(epic music continues)
- [Jackson] This is what I'm meant to do.
(person shouting)
- [Jackson And Moon] (Indistinct) Bullock
deserves a fate worse than death.
- I know of none.
(music softens)
(soil crunching)
You were right.
There is a fate worse than death.
Mine.
I've spent my life fighting enemies,
fighting white man,
fighting other tribes,
fighting to stay alive.
There's always a bigger fight waiting.
And if you fight all the time,
eventually you lose.
Maybe you die, or those around you die.
There's no redemption in death.
There is only what you do
with your life that matters.
- Where are you going?
- To find what I have lost.
(somber music)
(horse huffing)
- [Jackson] Even though I wear this badge,
I feel no different from them.
Half law man, half outlaw,
fully damned in the eyes of the Lord.
Will I end up like William,
perpetuating a cycle I cannot break?
(thunder rumbling)
Watch those I love gunned
down before me like Moon?
The future is unpredictable.
But then again, so am I.
(ominous music)
(people shouting)
- [Thief] Ladies and
gentlemen, will you kindly put
all your jewelry, money, watches,
and any other valuables into these bags?
- [Second Thief] Hey, pretty
boy, gimme your money.
- [Victim] Not again.
- [Izzy] You wanna live?
Look away.
- [Thief] Hey sweetie.
Put all the jewelry in the bag, come on.
- [Victim] You can rob a
lady without putting a gun
in her face.
- [Third Thief] Put the money in the bag.
- [Thief] Guns in the bag too, let's go.
Let's go. Come on, come on, come on.
- [Victim] That's my
grandmother's ring, please no-
- [Izzy] Don't look at my face.
- [Thief] That's a lot
of gold for a preacher.
Where'd you get all that, huh?
Your sheep? (laughing)
- [Izzy] Keep on looking
at me, you wanna see Jesus?
Put the money in the bag.
- [Unknown Speaker] I'll send
you back to hell, you demon.
- [Unknown Speaker] Ah God.
Say hello to Jesus!
(gunshot blasting)
(people screaming)
- [Unknown Speaker] John,
easy, come on, let's go,
let's get outta here.
(people weeping and breathing nervously)
- [Marshal] Simon Shaw.
- [Thief] The Marshal's here, let's go.
You'll kindly let these people go.
- [Thief] Ah, Marshall.
Not a surprise ambush,
but you're too late,
I already got what I need.
(thief speaking in foreign language)
- [Izzy] Let's go, let's go!
Come on, John.
- [Marshal] Simon Shaw.
- [Unknown Speaker] Get 'em, Sheriff!
- [Marshal] I will hunt you.
(gunshot blasting)
- [Izzy] Where's John, where's John?
John!
John!
- [Narrator] A man's capacity for evil
does not define his character,
but rather his character
is defined by his ability
to be evil.
But choose a more honorable road.
Those who fail to suppress the evil within
must face the consequences
of falling to them.
The practical result,
death.
(Izzy sobbing softly)
(dramatic music)
- Please.
(gunshot blasting)
(horse neighing)
- [Unknown Speaker] Simon Shaw!
(gunshot blasting)
(dramatic music continues)
(Izzy panting)
(wind whistling)
(Shaw grunting)
(Shaw breathing laboriously)
(labored breathing continues)
- Fuck.
(Izzy breathing and grunting)
- The marshal ain't far off.
- He's a half mile, I reckon.
- John's dead.
- Yeah, that's unfortunate.
(dramatic music continues)
You know it's...
It's a funny thing.
The marshal knew we was coming.
- What you trying to say?
You the one run off.
- Yeah.
- Figured you'd be halfway
across the state by now.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
(dramatic music continues)
What now?
- Let's get outta here.
(Shaw breathing)
(thunder clapping)
(Shaw grunting)
(rhythmic dramatic music)
- [Narrator] Most cultures
speak of a harbinger.
One that beckons the coming
of the angel of death.
It is said that they who hear its call
are not long for this world.
(rhythmic dramatic music continues)
(rhythmic dramatic music continues)
(rhythmic dramatic music continues)
(rhythmic dramatic music continues)
(rhythmic dramatic music ends)
- [Izzy] We wouldn't
be hoofing it like this
if Wiley didn't let the
horses run off like he did.
Can't say I blame him though.
Young lad in charge of six horses.
Hell, John would've let
a few of them run off
once all that blasting got started.
But not all of them though.
What's our next move, boss?
- [Shaw] Huh?
- I got a place we can
shelter up for the night, but,
after that, I don't know.
You okay, boss?
(suspenseful music)
Shaw!
Shaw!
Boss, wake up!
Wake up.
Wake up, boss.
What do you need me to do?
What do you wanna do?
Shaw!
(flames wooshing)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(Shaw grunting in pain)
(Shaw breathing shortly)
Boss, you're awake.
I tried to stop the bleeding
the best I could, but,
it's really deep.
- I know.
Oh, that damn preacher's boy
did it back on the train.
- I could cauterize it for you.
- No.
No.
I'm fine.
Where are we?
- John and I found it a few years back.
(dramatic music continues)
Don't worry, we're safe.
Oh, yours was empty, so here, drink this.
Simon?
You ain't looking so good.
- Leave me be.
(somber music)
- You go on and finish that.
But you let me know if you need anything.

(footsteps crunching)
I was thinking
that we should probably
get up to Colorado instead.
I got some family up there,
and they'll definitely take us in.
At least through the end of the winter.
- No, no, we'll get horses in Laramie.
Laramie is our way out.
- I don't understand.
- John would understand.
Why'd you stop?
Dammit, Izzy, let's keep moving!
We have to go!
- Have you no respect?
- John was a good man.
He never questioned me.
- What about the Union Pacific score?
He questioned you then.
- Yeah, look where it got him.
- So that's it, huh?
That's all he was to you?
- Am I wrong?
- Yeah, Shaw, you are wrong.
- Remember your place.
Fill it.
(footsteps crunching)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
- [Narrator] Man's redemption
does not lie behind the morals
of humanity, but rather with
the Almighty in his splendor.
Danger lies in pursuit of vengeance.
The purview of God.
Is forgiveness still possible
once a certain line has been crossed?
(Shaw breathing heavily and grunting)
(ominous music)
(ominous music continues)
(ominous music continues)
(gunshot blasting)
(Izzy grunting)
- Shaw.
(Izzy grunting)
Give me an excuse.
- Easy, now.
- Don't fucking easy me.
You almost fucking killed me.
- You scared the hell outta me!
It's lucky I pulled my
gun the last minute.
- Bullshit.
- Let's be reasonable now.
- Ain't been a reasonable thing about you
since I found you wandering
through the woods.
You gonna get me and you killed
just like the rest of 'em.
- I didn't kill anyone!
- Huh.
Well, you might as well had.
It ain't much of a score if
half your gang gets blasted away
by a marshal's posse
and the preacher's boy.
Every decision that you have
made has turned to shit, Shaw.
We all trusted you.
John trusted you.
Look where it got him.
- We'll go to Colorado.
Okay?
We'll regroup.
- I'm not going anywhere with you.
I'm leaving!
(Izzy breathing heavily)
You done gone soft.
You lost your edge, huh?
Just the shell of the man
that I grew to respect.
- Hey.
Izzy?
It's you and me, right?
The last of the shaman gang.
We'll go to Colorado.
You have family down there.
We'll...
We'll wait till spring.
We'll go to Wyoming.
We'll kill the men who killed John.
(Izzy grunting and breathing heavily)
- Fuck it.
(gunshot blasting)
(dark music)
(bullets crashing)
(Shaw grunting and breathing heavily)
- Son of a bitch.
(muffled gunshots blasting)
(Shaw grunting and breathing)
(grunting and breathing continues)
(soft suspenseful music)
- Simon Shaw.
If you would kindly toss
those pistols aside,
perhaps we can discuss
the precarious predicament
in which you find yourself.
(Shaw breathing laboriously)
Mr. Shaw, your most recent
expeditions,
and indeed on this day in
particular, your friends,
have not being kind to you.
- I'm tired.
- Chase will take it out of a man.
I had in my mind the intent to merely
wound you and return you to Laramie.
Where folk, good and bad, could
bear witness to your trial,
and subsequent justice rendered.
It seems, however, these old eyes were
not up to the task,
and for that, I am truly sorry.
May I inspect the wound?
(Shaw breathing laboriously)
Hmm.
(soft suspenseful music continues)
- So this is it?
This is the end?
(Shaw scoffing)
- We are both, you and
I, choosing hard lives.
The mere living of which
provides daily testimony
to its hardness.
Despite our most honest
effort on your behalf,
you'll not make that
journey to Laramie alive.
- I just didn't wanna die alone.
- Alive or dead was my commission.
(Marshal grunting)
Dead is just,
(gunshot blasting)
easier on the both of us.
As I have observed, those who plow evil,
and those who sow trouble, reap it.
Consider now, who being
innocent has ever perished?
Where were the upright ever destroyed?

- Sheriff, men, we have a
solemn duty to lay upon you.
Marshal Dyer, Marshal (indistinct)
and I have been tasked by
the United States government
to apprehend the McCarran gang.
- [Unknown Speaker] Also
known as the Cousins Gang.
- And formerly known as the Brothers Gang.
Now the cousins are Mick and Ned McCarran.
They currently lead the
gang, though we're not sure
which one's top dog.
Ned had a little brother named Shamus.
- [Unknown Speaker] Who I'm
sure you're aware was shot dead
in Pete's Saloon just a few nights ago.
- I'm well aware.
I detained the party that
was responsible for that.
Curious German fella.
Bit of a dandy.
Ended up letting him go though.
There were bounties out on Shamus
and the other man he killed.
Refused to take the reward.
- That's very strange.
- Where is he now?
- Said they were headed out toward Uvalde.
- Said he had some business
with Patton Garrett.
- The Patton Garrett?
- Yes sir.
The same man who shot Billy the Kid.
- I'm not sure how Billy the
kid ties into McCarran's,
but the two brothers who
founded the gang are Liam
and Killian McCarran, a couple
Irish bastards who fought
for the Confederates.
Liam was the gun smuggler
off the Gulf Coast,
but after the Battle of Mobil
Bay, he met with his brother,
Killian, and they did
some revenge raids up
in Mississippi.
Then turned bandit, and
been bastards ever since.
- Sheriff, you know this gang?
- By reputation mostly.
Heard they've been up to some bad business
up and down the valley,
but they've steered clear
of my jurisdiction so far.
- Yeah, well my jurisdiction
runs clear to the Rio Grande,
and they've stained it long enough.
I'm authorized to hire you
men on as federal deputies,
and pay you a posse fee of $150 apiece
when we bring 'em in.
- Dead or alive?
- Dead or alive.
Fortunately, Marshal Dyer
here has got a lead on 'em.
- We recently acquired a
source in the McCarran gang,
and he tells us they're riding
to Killian McCarran's hideout.
They left at first light this morning.
- The hideout is along
San Pedro Creek, just east
of Devil's River on the
outskirts of Del Rio.
- Out in Val Verde County?
That's a hard ride.
Especially when you're chasing men who've
had a full day head start on you.
- We won't be riding.
We will take the train to Del Rio,
and we have arranged for
fresh (indistinct) in town.
- Now if you gentlemen are
ready, I'll swear you in.
I, state your name, do solemnly
swear to uphold the laws
of the United States and
all of its territories.
- I, John Codwell, do solemn
swear to uphold the laws
of the United States, and
all of its territories.
- Deputy.
- I, Peter Jameson.
- [Leader] Do solemnly swear.
- Do solemnly swear.
- [Leader] To uphold the
laws of the United States.
- To uphold the laws of United
States and its territories.
- Swear to do my duty with
courage and dedication.
- To conduct myself at all
times in the spirit of justice.
- And if they don't come peacefully,
I swear to god, I'll shoot
every last son of a bitch.
Sorry, lord.

- Oh shit.
- There's someone over there.
- [Ned] Pinkertons?
- Damn, Ned. (chuckling)
No, that's just Wes and Schwartzy.
Not the Pinkerton's.
- Thank god.
All right, they're gonna hold there.
- What are they trying to tell us?
- Ah, who knows?
This gang's big on the the hand signs.
They do a little of this,
they'll do a little that,
and they seem happy.
- I don't like it.
I reckon they're gonna get us killed.
- Oh, they certainly will.
We're just gonna ride
out before that happens.
- I'm thirsty.
Let's go get a drink from the crick.
- Oh, you're not gonna drink
creek water again, are you?
- That's all we got.
- Oh.
Should've worn your brown pants.
(suspenseful music)
- That's San Pedro Creek down there.
Must be getting close.
(suspenseful music continues)
- Marshal (Indistinct), you're with me.
Rest of you, stay here.
We won't be long.
- You've been the rank and law here.
Why has he been running
things since Del Rio?
- That man rode with
a ranger for 20 years.
That's good enough for me.
What about you?
Let's gear up.
(pistol clicking)
- Alright, let's go
find the little bastard.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
- [John] Those our boys down there?
- They sure enough are.
If this is Cillian's
place, we can bag us three
for the price of one.
Looks like they got a couple
more down at the creek.
(indistinct chanting)
- Let's tell the others.
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music ends)
(shotgun clicking)
Two McCarran boys ducked
into a barn about 400 yards
across the field.
We reckon to meet up with the old man.
They got two more men
further down by the creek.
- How you wanna play this?
- Mr. Jameson, Dickey, you two
follow the creek to the east.
Set yourselves up to get the drop on 'em.
But don't open fire 'til you
hear us shouting or shooting.
Marshals, say we go through
that cops of trees of the barn.
Set you and your rifles
up in some prime spots.
I'll get up close and personal
with old (indistinct) here.
Stay low, shoot straight.
Let's go get 'em.
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
- [Uncle] Hush, you're
gonna lose your balls.
- [Mick] Alright, just a second.
- [Uncle] Who the fuck are you?
- Afternoon, uncle.
- Ned?
Son?
Ned, get your ass in here!
- Sir.
- I was going to send for
you boys, but I hadn't yet.
What the fuck are you doing here?
- Adir, we...
We've come with some bad news.
- Well, spit it out, boy.
- It's Shamus.
He's dead.
- What happened?
- Some German Danny shot
him down in San Antonio.
- Does my brother know his son's dead?
- No.
Yeah, we haven't heard from
him from over two years.
That's why he came
looking for (indistinct).
- Well, we'll have to tell him.
- Well let's ride down to
where he is hiding then.
Then down to San Antonio.
Shoot that German son of a bitch down.
- Right, sure we will.
First, there's a little bit of business.
- Business?
What business?
- Come with me.
(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

- [John] Who the hell are they?
- These (indistinct) ain't

- It's all right.
We'll spread out, take our boys
after this meeting breaks up.
(birds chirping)
(relaxed guitar music)
- Stop.
Paco!
(Uncle speaking in foreign language)
- We ride 150 miles to tell
you your nephew's dead,
and you wanna chew the fat
with some border joker-
- (Indistinct) hold horse, laddy.
Your dad and I have some
wheels to turn in here.
And this one's squeaking.
Let me get it greased,
we'll tend to your vendetta.
- Padre.
I thought you said you would be alone.
- (Indistinct) surely
wouldn't be opposed to my boy
and my favorite nephew coming to visit me.
Unless of course you were planning
to rob a defenseless old man.
- Not you insult me. (scoffing)
We are not thieves.
- Oh, you're not thieves.
Well, if you're not thieves
that clears our deal
something powerful.
- Okay, okay. (chuckling)
We are thieves.
We are excellent thieves,
but we not gonna.
(Paco clicking tongue)
You know?
(Paco speaking in foreign language)
Hey, that's not half.
- 20% as we agreed.
You do the job, finish it,
and get your ass across the border.
- It's not enough.
(Paco speaking in foreign language)
They're gonna bring a lot of heat.
- You're getting paid to take the heat.
You've got a whole nother
country to fuck off into.
We're holding the 80%
as your incentive not
to be leaving too fucking early.
(thief speaking in foreign language)
(Paco speaking in foreign language)
(thief grunting)
- Sorry.
Let's make (indistinct), yes.
How you say?
He married my sister,
but he know nothing about.
(Paco speaking in foreign language)
- Family.
Can't live with 'em.
- Okay, you old bastard.
We have a deal.
- [Paco's Sister] Paco!
- That's my sister.
- (Indistinct) are close.
- I told you this person
was gonna fuck you.
- Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Why would I be in bed with a law man?
They followed your boys.
- Damn it.
We just got found out.
- Okay.
(Paco speaking in foreign language)
They're here for you and your gang.
- Looks like you're in
the gang now, Sancho.
- It's now or never.
- Let's get a move on.
- McCarrans!
This is the United States Marshals.
(dramatic drum music)
We have a federal warrant.
- You two spread out.
Townsend and I'll get 'em on the flank.
- You want some water?
- Now you can boil that stuff first.

I'll keep planking 'em.
For god's sake, keep me outta your sight.

(gunshots blasting)
(dramatic drum music continues)

- We're coming for you, Blackie!
(gunshots blasting)
- Let's make for the barn.
- All right.
(dramatic drum music continues)
(dramatic drum music continues)
(gunshots firing)
(unknown speaker shouting indistinctly)
(gunshots blasting)
- Looks like we got us some
Mexican standoff, boys.
By my count, you're fresh outta Mexicans.
- [Jameson] And we got a
half dozen men coming too.
About a half hour's ride.
- [John] Dammit, Jameson.
- Shit, what else was I gonna say?
- That's right!
You boys are boxed in.
Come out with them hands
high, throw out them irons.
Promise you a fair trial.
(gunshots blasting)
- Ah!
(pistols clicking)
- Running low, Pa!
- Fucking out.
- Meet me out there.
Meet me out there.
(dramatic drum music continues)
(pistol clicking)
(dramatic music ends)
- Another dozen men?
- Ah, he's more full of shit than
that shitter he's hiding behind.
Ain't he?
- No, but I don't see any
need in letting him linger
on the property.
- [Mick And Ned] Holy shit.
- This'll send 'em to hell, or home, boys.
Would you lads be so kind?
- Well, if somebody light the fuse.
- I'll do it.
I got the stronger arm.
- Horse shit.
I hit you square in the head
with a rock at 40 paces.
- That was 20 damn years ago.
- Ah, you boys be wagging your tongue.
Unless of course,
somebody would be
lightening a fire under it.
- Fuck me.
(soft music)
(fuse sizzling)
- Shit.
- Ah, shit.
- Run for cover.
(dynamite blasting)
(men laughing)
- Oh man.
- Oh!
- That's good, boy.
(John and Jameson coughing)
- You okay, sheriff?
- Jesus, Jameson.
- I'm getting too old for this shit.
- Me too.
- Hey boy.
That was a mighty fine
throw you made back there.
- Oh,
thanks, Pa.
- Aye.
- Now that the law's off
us, we got family business.
- What did I tell you back at the barn?
- Chores before whores?
- You're damn right.
And some of 'em, your Pa and
I's plans got blown up right
alongside those Mexicans (indistinct).
- So what are you thinking?
- When's the last time
you boys robbed a train?
- Marshal, McCarran's hightailed it.
(Marshal breathing laboriously)
How bad you hit?
(Marshal coughing and
breathing strainedly)
- Take my gun.
(labored breathing continues)
Take my badge.
Sheriff.
Sheriff, get these sons of bitches for me.
(labored breathing stops)
(cicadas rattling)
- You have a mind to
see this thing through?
- I am,
but we're gonna need help.
- I know a certain German dandy
that might be willing to lend a hand.
Let's go check on Dyer.
(somber guitar music)
Yep.
I expected as much.
- Doing all the goddam marshals.
(someone coughing)
(dramatic drum music)
(person grunting and coughing)
- She's coming with us.
(gentle music)
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music)
(thunder clapping)
(thunder rumbling)
- I don't quite understand
why you wanna do this.
Do you even know how to ride a horse?
Shoot a gun?
You know we're going after
outlaws here, not cow tippers.
- [Jackson] Yeah.
- Damn, you look like a real law man.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
You've come a long way, Jackson.
You know that?
Let's get on back.
Have these (indistinct)
and supper together, huh?
(thunder rumbling)
- It separates me from them.
You ask me why I wanna do this.
It's because upholding the
law, hunting down outlaws,
protecting the innocent, it...
It's my redemption from
the name I inherited.
You know, you and Abby, you took me in.
You raised me right.
You gave me a family, you gave
me something to fight for.
- For 35 years, this
badge has been my flame.
Shines bright, and cuts through the night.
It's guided me in my life.
It led me to you when I
found you as a young boy.
For you, Jackson, it'll be the
flame that draws the moths.
The word gets out,
they will come looking for you.
- This is what I'm meant to do.
It's what we're meant to do.
- You're damn right, son.
And it'll be the death of us.
(fire crackling)
(thunder clapping)
(dramatic music)
Go to hell, you (indistinct) of a bitch!
- [Shooter] You show me
the way first, friend.
(gunshot blasting)
(Jackson breathing heavily and shouting)
(thunder rumbling)
(Jackson coughing)
(leaves rustling)
(Jackson speaking in foreign language)
Who are you?
- Guns do not kill you?
You are pistol proof.
You bleed out for days,
yet you do not die?
And you speak Comanche tongue.
But you are not Comanche.
No.
You tell me, who are you?
- Jackson.
My name is Jackson.

hell, you son of a bitch!
- [Shooter] You show me
the way first, friend.
(gunshot blasting)
- [Masked Person] Ride back to my father.
Tell him the bastard is dead.
(horse huffing)
(horse hooves clomping)
(dramatic music continues)
- He was a father to me.
- And he saved your life.
- Why'd you help me?
You owe me nothing.
- You will avenge him?
- Yes.
- Then it is you who will help me.
We ride, we find this woman,
and we take from her
what she took from us.
- Life?
(Indistinct) bullock deserves
a fate worse than death.
- I know of none!
- If we kill her, we
are no better than her!
- I don't want to be better.
I want fair trade!
- You want revenge.
- How can you deny this?
How can you bring mercy to
a woman who brings death?
- You wouldn't understand.
- You are scared of her.
- No.
I'm scared of becoming her.
(leaves rustling softly)
(birds chirping)
- Bless me Father, for I have sinned.
There's been much blood, bullets,
and bamboozling since my
last confession. (chuckling)
And I'm not gonna beat the devil
around the stump with you, father.
I ain't seeking forgiveness for any of it.
I've been having too
much damn fun. (laughing)
But what I am asking for today
is for forgiveness for a man
that I am going to kill.
You see, something about this one,
it doesn't sit right with me, father.
It goes against my better nature.
See, there's 25 years bad
blood between us and I.
The unfortunate thing about all this,
it wasn't personal.
It was simply business.
(ominous music)
(gunshot blasting)
(Bullock laughing)
The big bad law man, slithering
like the snake that you are.
- Jackson.
Come on, son, wake up.
Go to hell, you (indistinct) of a bitch!
(gun clicking)
- You show me the way first, friend.
(gunshot blasting)
It's a hell of a thing having
to put down your daddy's bastard
like he's some sort of sick dog.
And can you believe that?
Going after his own blood, you
know, his own birth father.
That is breaking several
of the commandments,
I reckon. (chuckling)
I tried to do right by him as a sister.
Give him the dignity of being honorable
that he lusted for so badly.
But the poor boy can't even
stay dead proper. (snorting and laughing)
I blame his mother.
She was a real whore.
No, I mean literally,
she was a... (laughing)
Say.
You're awfully quiet there, Padre.
(fist crashing)
(Bullock shouting)
(gun clicking)
(Bullock grunting)
- My name was Jackson Bullock,
until you all abandoned me and
left me to die in your sin.
And now I've come back to you.
Your sin made flesh.
(Bullock spitting)
- You got what it takes to kill me, boy?
Huh?
You ever killed anybody before?
You gonna come after our father next?
He gave you life, he gave you purpose,
he gave you your goddam name!
- You wanna see what he gave me?
You wanna see how far this
apple falls from the tree?
You wanna see how much blood
of Clayton Bullock is
pumping through my veins?
(ominous music)
Maybe someday.
But I'm not gonna kill you today.
The unfortunate thing
about all this is I do,
I want to make it personal, but,
this is simply business.
(gun clicking)
- Sorry, Jackson.
Looks like some of the family
followed me from confession.
Give it to me, huh?
You ain't no gunslinger.
(Jackson grunting)
I've got a real darkness
festering in me, Jackson.
Even our own father thinks
my soul isn't worth saving.
Get him up.
I thought our father
would be thrilled to learn
that I had gotten rid of
his embarrassing bastard,
and that dusty U.S. Marshall
that you called daddy.
Imagine my surprise when
our cousins showed up
without their tongues, and
a note in blood exiling me
from the family for
killing his only male heir.
You.
The Bullock who denied his
blood to wear the badge.
His heir.
- Is that what this is about?
Your lack of manhood?
- No, quite the opposite. (sniffling)
This is about the futility of manhood.
Clayton Bullock may have
been the king of the West,
but he's gotten soft, and his
judgment is to be questioned.
I'm afraid that he's no longer
fit to lead the Bullock gang!
- And you are?
What do you think he's
gonna do to you, Roan?
He finds out you went behind his back.
- I've taken enough gold
and silver from Redskins
to turn this gang into an army.
My vision is in line
with the new frontier.
- You can't go around
spilling the blood of Indians
for silver and gold, and
not expect repercussions.
- Oh, what type of repercussions?
(someone howling and screaming)
Go.
Jackson.
(bird cawing)
(suspenseful music)
(Moon shouting)
(metal slashing)
(masked person grunting)
(gunshots blasting)
(Bullock grunting)
(gunshots blasting)
(masked persons shouting)
Go!
(epic music)
(epic music continues)
- [Jackson] This is what I'm meant to do.
(person shouting)
- [Jackson And Moon] (Indistinct) Bullock
deserves a fate worse than death.
- I know of none.
(music softens)
(soil crunching)
You were right.
There is a fate worse than death.
Mine.
I've spent my life fighting enemies,
fighting white man,
fighting other tribes,
fighting to stay alive.
There's always a bigger fight waiting.
And if you fight all the time,
eventually you lose.
Maybe you die, or those around you die.
There's no redemption in death.
There is only what you do
with your life that matters.
- Where are you going?
- To find what I have lost.
(somber music)
(horse huffing)
- [Jackson] Even though I wear this badge,
I feel no different from them.
Half law man, half outlaw,
fully damned in the eyes of the Lord.
Will I end up like William,
perpetuating a cycle I cannot break?
(thunder rumbling)
Watch those I love gunned
down before me like Moon?
The future is unpredictable.
But then again, so am I.
(ominous music)
(people shouting)
- [Thief] Ladies and
gentlemen, will you kindly put
all your jewelry, money, watches,
and any other valuables into these bags?
- [Second Thief] Hey, pretty
boy, gimme your money.
- [Victim] Not again.
- [Izzy] You wanna live?
Look away.
- [Thief] Hey sweetie.
Put all the jewelry in the bag, come on.
- [Victim] You can rob a
lady without putting a gun
in her face.
- [Third Thief] Put the money in the bag.
- [Thief] Guns in the bag too, let's go.
Let's go. Come on, come on, come on.
- [Victim] That's my
grandmother's ring, please no-
- [Izzy] Don't look at my face.
- [Thief] That's a lot
of gold for a preacher.
Where'd you get all that, huh?
Your sheep? (laughing)
- [Izzy] Keep on looking
at me, you wanna see Jesus?
Put the money in the bag.
- [Unknown Speaker] I'll send
you back to hell, you demon.
- [Unknown Speaker] Ah God.
Say hello to Jesus!
(gunshot blasting)
(people screaming)
- [Unknown Speaker] John,
easy, come on, let's go,
let's get outta here.
(people weeping and breathing nervously)
- [Marshal] Simon Shaw.
- [Thief] The Marshal's here, let's go.
You'll kindly let these people go.
- [Thief] Ah, Marshall.
Not a surprise ambush,
but you're too late,
I already got what I need.
(thief speaking in foreign language)
- [Izzy] Let's go, let's go!
Come on, John.
- [Marshal] Simon Shaw.
- [Unknown Speaker] Get 'em, Sheriff!
- [Marshal] I will hunt you.
(gunshot blasting)
- [Izzy] Where's John, where's John?
John!
John!
- [Narrator] A man's capacity for evil
does not define his character,
but rather his character
is defined by his ability
to be evil.
But choose a more honorable road.
Those who fail to suppress the evil within
must face the consequences
of falling to them.
The practical result,
death.
(Izzy sobbing softly)
(dramatic music)
- Please.
(gunshot blasting)
(horse neighing)
- [Unknown Speaker] Simon Shaw!
(gunshot blasting)
(dramatic music continues)
(Izzy panting)
(wind whistling)
(Shaw grunting)
(Shaw breathing laboriously)
(labored breathing continues)
- Fuck.
(Izzy breathing and grunting)
- The marshal ain't far off.
- He's a half mile, I reckon.
- John's dead.
- Yeah, that's unfortunate.
(dramatic music continues)
You know it's...
It's a funny thing.
The marshal knew we was coming.
- What you trying to say?
You the one run off.
- Yeah.
- Figured you'd be halfway
across the state by now.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
(dramatic music continues)
What now?
- Let's get outta here.
(Shaw breathing)
(thunder clapping)
(Shaw grunting)
(rhythmic dramatic music)
- [Narrator] Most cultures
speak of a harbinger.
One that beckons the coming
of the angel of death.
It is said that they who hear its call
are not long for this world.

- [Izzy] We wouldn't
be hoofing it like this
if Wiley didn't let the
horses run off like he did.
Can't say I blame him though.
Young lad in charge of six horses.
Hell, John would've let
a few of them run off
once all that blasting got started.
But not all of them though.
What's our next move, boss?
- [Shaw] Huh?
- I got a place we can
shelter up for the night, but,
after that, I don't know.
You okay, boss?
(suspenseful music)
Shaw!
Shaw!
Boss, wake up!
Wake up.
Wake up, boss.
What do you need me to do?
What do you wanna do?
Shaw!
(flames wooshing)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(Shaw grunting in pain)
(Shaw breathing shortly)
Boss, you're awake.
I tried to stop the bleeding
the best I could, but,
it's really deep.
- I know.
Oh, that damn preacher's boy
did it back on the train.
- I could cauterize it for you.
- No.
No.
I'm fine.
Where are we?
- John and I found it a few years back.
(dramatic music continues)
Don't worry, we're safe.
Oh, yours was empty, so here, drink this.
Simon?
You ain't looking so good.
- Leave me be.
(somber music)
- You go on and finish that.
But you let me know if you need anything.

(footsteps crunching)
I was thinking
that we should probably
get up to Colorado instead.
I got some family up there,
and they'll definitely take us in.
At least through the end of the winter.
- No, no, we'll get horses in Laramie.
Laramie is our way out.
- I don't understand.
- John would understand.
Why'd you stop?
Dammit, Izzy, let's keep moving!
We have to go!
- Have you no respect?
- John was a good man.
He never questioned me.
- What about the Union Pacific score?
He questioned you then.
- Yeah, look where it got him.
- So that's it, huh?
That's all he was to you?
- Am I wrong?
- Yeah, Shaw, you are wrong.
- Remember your place.
Fill it.

- [Narrator] Man's redemption
does not lie behind the morals
of humanity, but rather with
the Almighty in his splendor.
Danger lies in pursuit of vengeance.
The purview of God.
Is forgiveness still possible
once a certain line has been crossed?

(ominous music)

(gunshot blasting)
(Izzy grunting)
- Shaw.
(Izzy grunting)
Give me an excuse.
- Easy, now.
- Don't fucking easy me.
You almost fucking killed me.
- You scared the hell outta me!
It's lucky I pulled my
gun the last minute.
- Bullshit.
- Let's be reasonable now.
- Ain't been a reasonable thing about you
since I found you wandering
through the woods.
You gonna get me and you killed
just like the rest of 'em.
- I didn't kill anyone!
- Huh.
Well, you might as well had.
It ain't much of a score if
half your gang gets blasted away
by a marshal's posse
and the preacher's boy.
Every decision that you have
made has turned to shit, Shaw.
We all trusted you.
John trusted you.
Look where it got him.
- We'll go to Colorado.
Okay?
We'll regroup.
- I'm not going anywhere with you.
I'm leaving!
(Izzy breathing heavily)
You done gone soft.
You lost your edge, huh?
Just the shell of the man
that I grew to respect.
- Hey.
Izzy?
It's you and me, right?
The last of the shaman gang.
We'll go to Colorado.
You have family down there.
We'll...
We'll wait till spring.
We'll go to Wyoming.
We'll kill the men who killed John.
(Izzy grunting and breathing heavily)
- Fuck it.
(gunshot blasting)
(dark music)
(bullets crashing)
(Shaw grunting and breathing heavily)
- Son of a bitch.
(muffled gunshots blasting)
(Shaw grunting and breathing)
(grunting and breathing continues)
(soft suspenseful music)
- Simon Shaw.
If you would kindly toss
those pistols aside,
perhaps we can discuss
the precarious predicament
in which you find yourself.
(Shaw breathing laboriously)
Mr. Shaw, your most recent
expeditions,
and indeed on this day in
particular, your friends,
have not being kind to you.
- I'm tired.
- Chase will take it out of a man.
I had in my mind the intent to merely
wound you and return you to Laramie.
Where folk, good and bad, could
bear witness to your trial,
and subsequent justice rendered.
It seems, however, these old eyes were
not up to the task,
and for that, I am truly sorry.
May I inspect the wound?
(Shaw breathing laboriously)
Hmm.
(soft suspenseful music continues)
- So this is it?
This is the end?
(Shaw scoffing)
- We are both, you and
I, choosing hard lives.
The mere living of which
provides daily testimony
to its hardness.
Despite our most honest
effort on your behalf,
you'll not make that
journey to Laramie alive.
- I just didn't wanna die alone.
- Alive or dead was my commission.
(Marshal grunting)
Dead is just,
(gunshot blasting)
easier on the both of us.
As I have observed, those who plow evil,
and those who sow trouble, reap it.
Consider now, who being
innocent has ever perished?
Where were the upright ever destroyed?
