Night of the Tommyknockers (2022) Movie Script
1
[explosion]
[man coughs]
Uh, hot damn, boys.
That'll do it.
A good old-fashioned
dynamite blast
beats that modern hydraulic
water mining crap anytime.
[chuckles]
But hold on one second.
Let me-- let me see that.
[clanking]
[shovel clanking]
No, I don't think this old mine
can take much
more dynamite, Bill.
-Yeah, I think it can.
-Ah, don't be a fool, Zeke.
Looks safe enough.
I'm not gonna start
worrying about a cave-in.
There's plenty of other things
to worry about down here.
What does that mean?
Tommyknockers.
What in tarnations
are you babbling about?
You ever hear
of leprechauns?
Those elf-like creatures
dressed in green,
grant wishes, likes gold?
You can forget
the green suit and them wishes.
And they're not really
elf-like either.
Think six feet taller
and a thousand times nastier.
Come on, guys.
It's creepy enough
in here already.
No more ghost stories,
all right?
They ain't ghosts.
Shut up, Santo.
And you,
you take your folklore tales
back to Ireland.
Ain't nothing but the earth
creaking down here,
it happens all the time.
It also occurs just before
the timbers give away.
It's them Tommyknockers,
they're warning us.
I'm telling ya.
They're trying
to protect their gold.
Yeah, y'all can keep
jibber-jabbering.
I'mma go down here
and see what's what.
First comes the knocking,
then they start
calling your name
and leading you
to your death.
[in spooky voice] Bill.
Zeke.
[evil laughter]
[Austin]
Strike gold.
What?
[Austin] Come on, boys.
We did it. This way. Quick.
We strike it rich?
[ominous music plays]
[screaming]
[gasps]
[Zeke] Ah!
Hey!
Hey, guys, wait for me.
Who is that?
Bill?
Austin?
You guys better
to stop horsing around.
[ominous music plays]
Holy-moly!
Gold!
Hey, guys.
I found gold.
[panting]
Where is everyone?
Help me! Lord! Help!
-[screaming]
-[growling]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-Tommyknockers! Run, Zeke.
-Save yourself.
-What about Austin?
-[Casek] They got him.
-[Casek screams]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[screaming]
Oh shit!
[growling]
[whimpering]
[thrilling music plays]
[Zeke]
Oh, no!
-[whimpers]
-[thud]
[upbeat instrumental plays]
[music fades]
[ominous music plays]
[thud]
[coins clinking]
Too rich for my blood.
Three jacks.
Read 'em and weep.
Full house.
Looks like I win.
[coins clinking]
What are you
smiling about?
Looks like
it's my lucky day.
Royal flush.
[coins clinking]
Hey, Sam...
how are you so bad at this?
Quiet, Lucky.
How do you lose
even when you cheat?
What the hell
do you mean cheat?
I don't know
what he's talking about.
Are you cheating us, boy?
Do you know what we did
to people like you,
who stole from us
in the army?
Why don't you tell us
all about it, buttercup?
Listen here, you dirty,
little son of a bitch.
I would choose
my next word...
very carefully.
War has been over
a decade, boys.
Best get over it
or head back to Texas.
[tense music plays]
Let's stop fucking around.
[coins clinking]
Times a-wasting.
Well...
I guess it's your lucky day.
[laughs]
[floor creaking]
[barkeep]
You boys best thank the maker.
Why is that?
Not many folks survive
an encounter with the Dirk Gang.
[Maoma laughs]
Surprise! Come on.
-[chuckles]
-Have a seat.
[chuckles]
Where did they go?
Who? Down the street.
-Go get the sheriff.
-Why? Who are they?
They're wanted men.
Now, go get him. Hurry up.
-Sheriff?
-Big pay day.
I'm finally getting that money.
Now hurry your ass up.
Get 'em.
-Howdy, folks.
-[door slams shut]
I reckon y'all know
where you are at...
and you probably know
why we're here.
So, if y'all
just act accordingly.
-Please don't shoot.
-[slaps]
No one will get hurt.
What? They won't act
accordingly boss.
He's got a point.
[chuckles]
Well, I guess
she's acting accordingly now.
-Ain't you darling?
-[laughs]
The boys are just
having a little fun.
That's all.
I wanna make a withdrawal.
Come on, guys.
Come on. Go, go, go, go.
Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go.
Get in-- get inside.
The sheriff
is almost here.
Get down.
Sheriff's on his way.
They're in place.
Yes, sir.
I don't want any trouble.
-Mm-hmm.
-How much would you like?
Well, let me think about that.
I'll take it all.
Now, why don't you go back there
and open that safe?
[Betsy] Just do
what he says Mr. Thomas.
Please.
There you go.
I'll take what's behind
that counter, little lady.
All right.
Just don't hurt me.
No.
Boss, I think we ought to take
a collection
from these bootlickers?
We came here
to make a deposit...
then do it.
Whoa! Hot damn.
You heard the man.
I'm here
asking for a loan.
[laughs]
Sir, I regret to inform you,
that your application
has been denied.
You too.
All right.
I think you guys
got enough back there.
I'll be the judge of that.
Hand it over.
Now, when I said
little lady...
I wasn't demeaning
your height, you know?
In fact...
you're perfect
just the way you are.
I'm not offended,
just terrified.
I've only got a few coins,
and this might
not mean a lot to you,
-but it does mean a lot to me.
-[gun clicks]
Are they worth dying over?
I guess not.
[coins clattering]
She better get
out of there quick.
[man]
What is she doing?
She's gonna
get herself killed.
Get outta there.
Get outta there.
Little old me...
terrified?
Please.
Where are you going, ma'am?
What, are you deaf?
-[gun shot]
-[woman screams]
-She is, now.
-[chuckles]
Lucky, I said
no killing unless necessary.
Well, hey Dirk,
it seem necessary to me, buddy.
[Maoma] Well, the Marshal
sure heard that one, boys.
Yes, please go now,
before anyone else gets hurt.
-You telling us what to do?
-No, of course not.
-[squish]
-[whimpers]
-[thuds]
-Adios.
You deserve that.
Maoma, I said no killing.
Period. You understand?
You know, darling,
we're gonna need us a hostage
and you're it.
No, please.
I won't tell a soul
what happened.
You know what?
I know you're not.
Let her go.
Do you wanna
take her place?
I didn't think so.
Down!
Here. It's here.
[guns cocking]
Sherry, get outta the street.
Sherry, down now. Move!
Clay, grab that bag.
Ladies and gentlemen,
much obliged.
Y'all have
a good day now, you hear?
-[Maoma] Yippee!
-[laughing]
-Where'd they all go?
-[laughs]
-Nobody move.
-[indistinct]
Nobody move
or the girl gets it.
I ain't talking
about the money either.
Please, no,
nobody shoot.
Let the girl go!
Look, Marshal,
all these people
are scared already.
It's just us
and you, Marshal,
and they
ain't good odds.
Let her go now.
-I think we'll take our chance.
-[Lucky laughs]
[gunshots]
Get it, get it, get it.
[gunshots]
-Come on, [indistinct].
-[gunshots]
Sullivan!
-[bullet pops]
-[grunts]
[gunshots]
-[Dirk] Come on, let's go boys.
-[horse neighs]
[gun shots]
[gunshots continue]
[Marshal grunts]
-[gunshots]
-[yells]
-[gunshots]
-[groans]
[Marshal pants]
[Marshal groans]
Well, what are you gonna
do now, Marshal?
[grunts]
Not much I can do right now
with this hole in my leg.
I think I can get Johnny
to send out a telegram,
get the army in on this.
I think we need to have a posse.
I'll lead it.
The Marshal will need attention.
That leg will get
infected on the trail.
What's stopping us?
We should get going
right now.
Times a-wasting.
Hold on, fellas.
That ain't the best idea.
And you guys
need to think it through.
Exactly how many men
do you need for this posse?
There's only a handful of them.
-We need to get going.
-You ain't got what it takes.
And another thing,
some of them gangs
been known to double back
after the posse left.
So, you could spend
a couple days out on the trail
trying to impress
your women folk,
but that
ain't gonna make the town
any safer while you're gone.
So, maybe we have to report this
to authorities after all.
You really wanna
go out there
risking your lives,
just to get the bank
it's money back?
Take care of your own first!
The bank hasn't been
exactly kind to us,
now, has it?
I never heard
so much hot air in my life.
All this talking
and no doing.
I said I'll lead
the posse and I will.
Now, who's gonna
come with me?
I ain't a good shot
as I used to be.
I'd probably
just slow you down.
Pitiful, just like usual.
I gotta be the one
to do something.
And just like usual,
I gotta do it myself.
Now, hold on, mister.
We talked this through
and the consensus is
we're gonna call in the army.
Good luck with that.
I'm leaving.
And when
you sleeping well tonight,
I hope you think of me
out there in the cold,
doing what none of you
had the backbone to do.
Now, get out of my way.
[rousing music plays]
[Lucky]
How's it feel? Feel good?
[sniffs]
Smells like success to me, boys.
[laughs]
Well, hey,
you weren't the one shot twice.
You're okay, Lucky?
-I'll live.
-You always do.
Yeah, well,
rounds went clean through.
That's why
we call you Lucky.
[laughs] Yeah.
I can't believe
you had me cooped up
in this thing for weeks.
Where's my share?
[Lucky chuckles]
Gonna play nice?
Why?
I know that's
not the way you like it.
All right, boys.
Let's see what we got.
Give me my split.
You heard the little lady.
[chuckles]
I almost smacked you back
at the bank for that remark.
Yes, you did.
Good thing
I was a professional actress.
Yes, you are.
Never break character.
Part of my training.
I still don't see
why Betsy gets an even split
with the rest of us.
[chuckles]
Yeah, considering, uh,
it was us who took all risk.
What risks?
I set the whole thing up
and got y'all a clean getaway.
You blew your cover
slapping that lady.
[chuckles]
Lucky,
nobody wants to shoot
a cute, innocent victim.
Hey, little lady. I got shot.
Twice.
Well, that's to be expected.
What does it make it?
15, 16 times?
Hell no. I'm up to 20
and that's not counting
knife wounds.
You'll not be smiling
if I come at you.
Oh.
Only if you come at me
backwards, buttercup.
-[smooching sound]
-[laughing]
[Betsy] And Sam, besides,
if you got a bigger share,
you'd only
gamble it away sooner.
Bet you, I wouldn't.
I'd happily take that wager.
Well, you ain't the only one
with a pretty face.
You're going back there,
ask them ladies...
see what they say.
And what I am?
You're my girl.
That's what you are.
[Clay] Fine.
I prefer to pay
for my cherries anyways.
At least then I know
exactly what I'm paying for.
[thuds]
[chuckles]
Hey, Clay. Clay?
You still afraid someone
gonna get you from behind?
The day I get it...
I just wanna make sure
I see it coming.
I heard that.
You know,
you didn't have to kill
that bank manager
back there, Maoma.
He wasn't gonna try anything.
They all deserved it.
So...
where are we going from here?
[Clay] Well,
I don't know about y'all...
but I'm hankering for me
a little whorehouse.
[all chuckle]
-One track mind.
-[laughter]
[Clay] Yeah.
Going straight to the devil.
[Dirk] Well, Betsy and I
have been discussing
about one big payday.
[Clay] Mmm.
I like the sound of that.
It's as long as we sidestep
that bleeding Kansas.
There's a war going on there
and I want no part of it.
Oh, shit, Sam.
I would think
you'd want in on that action.
No, thank you.
I'm planning on staying alive.
Uh-huh.
I can understand that.
[Sam] I'm gonna keep
my life real simple.
Just rob,
steal and spend the money.
Just need another couple
of good banks or two
and I'll be sitting pretty.
You better hold it tight.
-It's all mine.
-[Lucky chuckles]
What if I said
a bank with gold in it?
[thrilling music plays]
I thought
that'd get your attention.
Now, about a year ago,
a poor Englishman stole
some gold off a train
headed from London to Paris.
Now, we're robbing trains?
No, too risky
thanks to Pinkerton's men.
You guys ever hear of the town
of Deer Creek in Nevada?
Mm-hmm.
[Betsy]
They have been mining gold
in the Dry Diggins mines
on the outskirts of town.
About a five-day ride from here.
I'm listening.
[Betsy]
Well, you know Henry Wells,
William Fargo and their company?
-[chuckles]
-Of course, we do.
-[laughs]
-Them's old banks.
Yeah, they are.
Even buying gold
selling bank drafts.
Who'd want to do that?
[Betsy] They say
it's as good as gold.
People trust them.
Town of Nevada trusts them.
The bank is just
in the center of town,
-loaded with the stuff.
-Uh-uh.
Too many people.
We're gonna get caught.
[Dirk]
I don't know, Lucky.
I mean, gold rush is almost over
and mines...
there ain't no one
in there anymore.
And everyone's
moving on to silver.
That gold is in them banks.
Waiting for us.
It'll be easy.
The miners already did
all the hard work.
We just gotta go
collect it.
Count me in.
Me too.
Let's do it.
-[Lucky exclaims]
-[laughs]
Oh, damn.
[chuckles]
[horse neighs]
Howdy, stranger.
What can I do for you?
-[horse neighs]
-[Tobin] Well, Marshal...
it's more what I can do for you.
Name is Tobin Horn.
Tracker.
Some people call me
a range detective.
Work for the Pinkerton Agency
as of late.
Alan Pinkerton?
Up outta Chicago?
Yep. One and the same.
I've heard of you.
You're that feller that's been
collecting the bounties
on them railway robbers,
dead or alive.
Mostly dead.
But, I hear a wind
that you bank here
got held up this week.
-[horse neighs]
-You heard right.
Well, how much they get?
$5,000 in cash.
Hmm.
Killed our bank manager, too.
Stabbed and gutted him.
Hmm.
They shot off my ear.
Hey, how many were there?
-What?
-How many were there?
There was four.
No, five, five of them.
One of 'em was pretending
to be a customer.
He said they were the Dirk Gang.
Yeah, they got
our brand new bank teller, too.
Pretty young gal,
name was Betsy.
Probably raped
and killed by now.
I tried to stop them,
but I was outnumbered.
Well, they slapped me
in the face.
As a reward?
For slapping me.
$200 a head.
You said dead?
I'd prefer them alive.
I'd prefer them dead.
Well, little lady,
happy to oblige.
Is there a telegraph
in these here parts?
Yep.
Western Union
just down there piece.
I'll need to send telegram.
First, need to wet my whistle.
Where's the saloon
in this here town?
Right across the street.
[horse neighs]
[galloping]
[somber music plays]
Oh, shit!
Here we go again.
[lock rattling]
Hey, what happened here?
Bank got robbed.
That's what happened.
Anybody get hurt?
Yeah, the manager,
they cut him wide open.
It was a horrible sight.
Who did it?
Dirk Gang.
They're all loose around here.
[boards creak]
[Marshal] Hey,
surprised to see you here.
Suppose you heard the news.
I'm sorry about your brother.
I truly am.
[man]
Why are you still here?
Why aren't you out
hunting the bastards
that killed my brother?
Why I don't have
a posse out there right now?
Yeah.
Well, considering who
the bounty hunter is out there,
there's no need.
Found somebody to do
your dirty work, huh, Marshal?
We'll bring them in, all right?
Where are you going now?
I'm gonna avenge my brother.
Don't do it.
Let the law take care of it.
I'm gonna find 'em
and I'm gonna kill 'em.
I'm telling you,
I don't wanna
have to arrest you.
Get outta my way.
God dammit.
[soft music plays]
[horse neighs]
[horse neighs]
[tense music plays]
There it's.
Town of Deer Creek.
Looks quiet.
Just the way I like it.
[Lucky]
Too quiet.
You prefer we hit Kansas?
[horses neigh]
Dirk, you want me to ride ahead
and scoop it out
like last time?
I don't want them
to get used to your routine.
People catch on.
Boss, I'll go
check out the bank.
If you can make it
past the saloon house.
-[laughs]
-Me?
You find a card game
you'll be done for days.
Days?
He'd run outta money in hours.
Minutes.
All right, quiet now.
Let's be professional.
Go in and do our job.
I don't understand
why we can't have a little fun
while we're here.
[Sam]
I agree with him.
[ominous music plays]
Where the hell
is everybody?
[indistinct]
Maybe they all took their gold,
went off to California.
There's gotta be
someone around.
Are saloons supposed to be
open during the day?
I don't like this town.
There's bad mojo in the air.
[chuckles] It probably
just senses you're here.
Think the word got out
to everybody
that the Dirk Gang
was incoming?
[whoops] Hah! Yeah!
[indistinct]
Highly doubt [indistinct].
Speak for yourself.
Dirk Gang has got
quite a reputation.
That ain't a good thing.
Let's split up.
Bound to find someone
in this God forsaken place.
[Dirk]
I'll catch you later.
Come on.
[ominous music plays]
[door creaks open]
No tellers
and the place is unlocked.
This place is just asking
to get robbed.
Something doesn't look right.
I don't like this.
Don't like it at all.
[Dirk]
Safe still looks locked.
[coins clinking]
[suspenseful music plays]
[indistinct humming]
[doors creak open]
Hey! I heard that.
Who's up there?
You better come out.
[door creaks open]
Hello?
Anyone here?
Something ain't right.
[horses neigh]
-[wood creaks]
-[horses neigh]
[tense music plays]
What the fuck?
Is someone alive
down there?
Hello?
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-Shit! Shit!
Shit!
[gunshots]
Well...
if they didn't know
we were here...
they do now.
[Tommyknocker growling]
Sounded like
it came from the church.
Get inside.
They're coming.
-[Betsy] What's coming?
-You don't wanna know.
In or out, last chance.
-[Tommyknocker growling]
[Fred]
Come on!
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[Maoma] Shit! Shit!
-[screaming]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
Hey!
Who's up here?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Are you here to save us?
Not my original plan.
Well,
what's the plan now?
Hmm.
I meant
for getting us out of here.
Are you girls all right?
I told you not to go outside.
Who are you?
Well, ma'am, say, uh...
be your customer.
You think
we'll let you spend it?
[man] Oh, great.
Now, they know we're here.
Well, that was inevitable.
[man]
They're coming back anyway.
Just a matter of time.
Over here's tightened up
as best as possible.
They not getting back there.
They damn near broke through
last time.
How long you think
this place is hold up?
It's gonna hold up
as long as it needs to, okay?
-You want me to watch out back?
-No, it's too tight.
They'll break through
and you'll be dead
and I need you.
-Sure thing, Marshal.
-All right.
All seems like a waste of time.
I caught a glimpse
on one of them things
and they
ain't gonna be held back
-by a couple of nails.
-I hear you.
We just sitting here
waiting to die.
You might as well throw
the dirt over us right now.
Yeah.
But, we can make that wait
as pleasurable as possible.
This should take
the pain away.
-[glasses clink]
-Bar is closed
Are you serious, Marshal?
I think a bit of Dutch courage
might not go astray right now.
I'm deadly serious.
I need these people
in this saloon
to be as sober
and as on top of it
and fight as well as possible.
All right then, Marshal.
If you say so.
[Hall]
He does say so.
And if you ask me
there's a little too much jawing
going on around here.
So, I'd appreciate
a little bit of quiet.
I don't think I'll be
much help to you here, Marshal.
Come on, Henry,
when I say everybody,
I mean everybody.
The [indistinct] implies
everybody in your part
of everybody, right?
I realize that John,
but it's been a long time
since I've been
in fighting shape.
Now look,
if I let you have a drink
I'll let everybody
have a drink.
I'm gonna have
nothing but excuses.
Yeah, I know, but ma--
maybe I can take it
in the back room.
John, just a little sniffter.
No one will see me.
What's the harm?
I'll sneak you some
back there if you'll stop.
No exceptions. Okay?
That means you too.
-All right?
-Okay.
Well, I'll try.
If you can't shoot a gun...
you can swing a boar.
And we know
you can throw a bottle.
Okay, Henry?
All right. Give it here.
This is now a dry town.
I need everybody in here
as sober as possible.
You kidding me, Marshal?
We're as good as dead.
And you know it.
[marshal]
No, I don't.
We may not beat them
but we're gonna fight them
until the army gets here.
-The army?
-The army.
Well, that's good.
It means we just gotta hold out
for about six months.
Hell, we'll be dead by dawn.
Take it easy.
How do you think
I should be taking it?
Just 'cause we're headed
for a bad end doesn't mean
you pitching a fit
and causing a ruckus
is gonna do us any good.
All that's gonna do
is start to make me angry.
And you don't wanna
make me angry.
[Wong] I appreciate
your confidence, Marshal,
but how exactly
are you fixing on
keeping us alive?
I'm gonna do the best I can
and take it
one moment at a time, sir.
I hate to say it,
but I don't believe
that isn't enough.
Then we all die.
Horribly.
You seem so keen on dying.
Why don't you just
walk out that door?
I reckon
I'll stay here a spell.
Should be an interesting night.
I wouldn't wanna miss it.
Hey...
you, you new around here, huh?
Yeah.
Just, uh,
we're just passing through.
-Just passing through?
-Yeah.
You couldn't be passing through
at a worse time.
Just went dry around here.
You know what?
I might be needing you
if you like it.
We can stick around.
I see you, Antonio.
Uncle,
we should never have come here.
We should have stayed
in San Francisco.
One does not become rich
staying in one place.
There is always more,
more to be strived for.
I wish we'd never left.
What the hell?
There's a woman out there.
Hey, you!
Get in here now.
Pardon me?
Leave the damn horse
and get in here.
[ominous music plays]
What's going on?
Some sort of creatures
on the loose out there.
-Creatures?
-Yes, afraid so, ma'am.
And look,
we're all in this together.
I'm looking for
my husband, Joseph.
-Have you seen him?
-Joseph?
Um, no.
You know, he might be upstairs
with the, um--
I know what's upstairs.
I have to go up.
I can't let you,
it's dangerous out there.
-I won't let you.
-I'm going.
-Okay, look--
-Marshal, I can go.
All right,
that sounds good, but, um,
she's gonna need more than,
you know...
It'd be mighty gentleman of you
if you offered up one
of those handguns you got there.
Well, I ain't much a gentleman.
Neither am I.
But I might insist
this time, sir.
All right.
Packs a hell of a kick.
[Hall]
Let's go.
Down there. Around the corner.
Go, go, go, go.
[tense music plays]
I'm looking for my husband.
Have you seen him?
-He ain't here.
-He glad not to be.
I ain't said his name yet.
I ain't gonna shoot him.
This is just for protection.
He still ain't here.
The only men here
are spoken for.
[Lulu]
I hate to tell you this,
but not many people
left around here.
Everything's closed.
If he came around here,
he probably met
with some trouble.
Best be hoping
he went someplace else.
Have you seen my husband,
Joseph?
Sorry, honey.
I don't work here.
-I don't know anyone here.
-Oh.
Just glad you think
I still got looks
enough to be considered.
[horse neighs]
It's one thing
to hear a man dying
but a horse,
it just ain't right.
Are you fixing
to waste a bullet?
I need to put that poor thing
out it's misery.
That poor thing won't be there
when you get out there.
These things
are dragging off anything
that has got meat
attached to 'em.
I can't hear it.
I'm going to look for it.
Close the door behind me.
I'm still the sheriff.
And I'm still responsible
for the safety
of the people of this town,
no matter what a fool they are.
-Hold on a minute, Marshal.
-What is it?
You swore to protect
the people of this town?
Well,
most of the people still alive
are in this room.
I think
you have to be most useful
if you stayed here.
Look, like I said,
I have a sworn duty
to protect the people
in this town
and that's what I'm going to do.
Deputy Hall will be here
and I'll be right back.
Marshal, I don't mean
to get above my standing here,
but maybe these folks
have something
worth listening to.
Deputy Hall...
-[Hall scoffs]
-I'll be right back.
Okay.
Well...
since our Marshal ain't here.
Nothing's changed.
[ominous music plays]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[gunshots]
[elderly prisoner] Thank mercy
you're all right, Marshal.
So good to see you.
Huh. Yeah.
[Dan]
Is it safe out there?
[coughs] Oh, no.
Hold, hold, hold, hold.
You might wanna
stay right here.
What do you mean by that?
Are you saying
there's still a danger?
[marshal]
Exactly what I'm saying.
What have you been doing?
Keeping people safe out there.
Same as ever.
That ain't good, Marshal.
I was expecting
a little bit more from you.
Jake, you know,
I always expected
to see you in here one day,
but not of your own accord.
[chuckles]
I'm a fine citizen.
Now, what exactly
are you planning of doing?
Right now
I'm, uh, leaving here
and back to the saloon,
help defend it.
Wait, what about us?
[sighs] You know,
you're as safe here
as anywhere.
Give me a gun. I'll join you.
Nothing available.
And not enough
ammunition either.
Get me a knife,
so I can defend myself.
Just stay put.
I'll call for y'all
when it's safe.
At least bring us something
to eat and drink, Marshal.
There's nothing left
in the whole town,
but I'll be back.
I'll be back...
when it's safe out there, okay?
Marshal! Do something.
[scoffs] I am.
I can't believe it.
We got two options.
Stay in here,
die of thirst
or die from those things.
Good to see
you're keeping positive, Dan.
[growling]
[ominous music plays]
They're coming.
What are those things?
We believe monsters.
Inhuman ones?
No.
That's okay, Missy.
They believe in you.
In killing you, that is.
You know, Clay and Lucky
are still out there.
We gotta go get 'em.
Forget it, mister.
They're outside,
they're already dead.
You don't know Lucky.
You don't know
those creatures.
Who are you people?
We're just strangers
passing through.
We work together occasionally.
Who the hell are you people?
Henry Middleton
at your service.
Let me guess.
Town drunk?
Former town drunk.
Been sober now
for almost two years.
Being trapped here
in this saloon
is my idea of a personal hell.
I'm Earle. The owner.
Fred, blacksmith.
-And you are?
-[Julie] Julie Ann Swift.
Let me guess.
School teacher.
Trying to be,
but I changed vocations
midstream.
Took up photography.
Got a new shop down the street.
Yeah. The first one burned down.
How'd that happen?
Took some pictures
someone didn't like.
How long has this thing
been going on?
The attacks started
three nights ago.
According to Zeke,
they came outta the mines.
We call 'em
Tommyknockers.
Who the hell is Zeke?
Hell with Zeke.
What's a Tommyknocker?
A bunch of
blood thirsty sons of bitches
that eat
anything that moves.
[Earle]
It started with the miners.
Then, they ate the livestock,
the bank workers,
just about everybody in town.
Some fled,
but I don't think they made it.
We heard their screams
that went out into the night.
It was horrible.
Well, the apocalypse is upon us.
Might as well just sit back
and enjoy the ride now.
The stairs out back,
where do they go to?
They go to paradise for some.
They lead up to the bedroom
for Sally and her slim gals.
Slim gals? How many?
There's four, including Sally.
Well, this night might've gotten
a hell of a lot better.
I wouldn't object
to some female companionship.
[Yat sobbing]
Don't worry. It's gonna be okay.
Okay? We got this.
You guys all right?
-Yes, sir.
-Yeah.
-All right.
-[coins jingle]
-Who's ahead?
-[man scoffs]
[man]
Always, always.
-[glass shatters]
-[screams]
[Tommyknocker growling]
-[gunshots]
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[screaming]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[screaming]
-[gunshot]
-[Tommyknockers growl]
I owe you one.
-[growling]
-[man] Deputy Hall!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
-[screams]
-[gunshot]
[shouts]
[Tommyknocker growling]
Welcome to our nightmare.
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[screaming]
-[screaming]
-[gunshot]
What on earth
is that thing?
Let's just kill 'em
and worry about the rest later.
I heard some of these girls
usually have protection.
You think that's gonna help us?
That's the best
I've got right now.
If you see something heavier,
how about you grab it for me?
You got it.
[ominous music plays]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[gun shots]
What the hell is that, Marshal?
[marshal]
You saved my life.
These bastards just keep
killing people and eating 'em.
We best get outta here, huh?
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[gunshots]
Marshal's getting attacked
out there.
Here, board up that door.
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[gun shots]
-I'm out!
-I got you, Marshal.
-[Marshal screams]
-[gunshot]
-[tense music plays]
-[Wong screams]
-[Tommyknockers growl]
-[gunshot]
-Get your ass inside.
-[Fred] Open the door.
[Tommyknockers
pound on door]
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[gunshot]
Let's get you in here.
-[saloon girls screaming]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
Ladies.
-Sir.
-Evening.
Have you come to rescue us?
Can we leave now?
I'm afraid not.
Up here is probably
the safest place in town.
I need to leave.
My horse is out front.
Can you escort me to it?
[Dirk]
Sorry, ma'am,
all the horses outside are dead.
Including the people.
Oh, no. Buttercup.
I thought you were dead.
-Disappointed.
-Yeah.
Good to see you, too.
I've been up here
comforting the ladies.
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[girls screaming]
[Tommyknocker growling]
Mighty nice knife
you got there.
Thank you. Thank you.
Perfect for gutting somebody.
-[metal clanks]
-[Maoma groans]
Like my brother, the banker.
[suspenseful music plays]
[horse neighs]
-You a bounty hunter?
-No.
You don't mind
if I claim that one?
He's all yours.
Whoa, whoa, hold up.
I got a poster
with your name on it.
-You're coming with me.
-You're mistaken.
-[gun clicks]
-Huh, empty.
[gunshot]
[ominous music plays]
[Tommyknocker growling]
What happened?
[Tommyknockers growling]
They got Maoma.
Wonder who else.
We'll see.
Seem this little thing
had some use after all.
Thank you.
He will command
his angels concerning you...
to guard you
in all your ways.
[indistinct]
Girls, back in the room.
Board up the windows
with anything you can find.
One hell of a night.
Come on.
And here we thought
you were laying out there
dead somewhere.
-Where's Lucky?
-Huh. I don't know.
Right now, don't even care.
[Dirk]
Don't even care.
Maoma is dead.
I know. I saw.
At least you got
one of them, though.
Yeah.
What are those things?
[chuckles]
To hell if I know.
Oh, shit. Forgot my gun.
Go get it.
We gotta find out
what hell these creatures are.
It's Zeke Kilman.
He's a miner.
The only survivor
from the first attack.
He just showed up at the saloon
on the second night.
Barely conscious.
And then he collapsed.
He's been sleeping ever since.
The only thing
he said to me...
was that he was sorry
they dug too deep.
And something
about Tommyknockers.
-Very cryptic.
-[Lulu] Mm-hmm
[Zeke] Uh.
They came for...
For the gold.
Oh, good Lord in heaven.
He's awake.
[Zeke] Uh.
Hi.
What'd you say about gold,
mister?
In the mines...
we disturbed their gold.
Casek...
and Santo warned us...
but we didn't listen.
Can you tell us more about it?
Yeah. Start with the gold.
Oh, Clay. Don't leave me.
Well, come downstairs
with me then.
I think we'd have a lot more fun
-up here.
-[knocks on door]
-Who's there?
-[Sally] It's Sally.
Can I come in?
Come on.
With all the goings on
I wanted to make sure
everything was all right.
[chuckles]
I think
we're gonna be just fine.
[ominous music plays]
Adios, piggy.
Okay, Lucky. Get up.
Get your ass up.
[grunts and pants]
[groans] Sh--
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-Oh, no, no.
-[empty gun clicks]
-Shit. Damn!
Come on get--
come on, get back.
I see you. I see--
[whoops and laughs]
Come on, goddamn demons,
wanna get some?
Come on, come on.
Come on, goddamn demons.
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-Take it, take it.
You wanna see the light, baby?
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-Come on.
You wanna get baptised, I'll
show you the light. Come on.
You sure
you don't wanna join us, Fred?
I can't believe you're playing
cards at a time like this.
It's like
it's the end of the world,
might as well do what you like,
is what I say.
Mrs. Swift, you in?
It's Miss Swift.
And no, thank you.
I wager 20.
I will see that bet.
[knocking on door]
Keep knocking,
but you can't come in.
Uh, I'm a little low on cash
at the moment.
Uh, would you consider
a little trade?
It's even loaded.
You had a loaded gun
this whole time?
I checked the gun shop earlier.
Plenty of guns,
but no ammo.
We went through
most of our ammo
on night number two.
Except for a few shotgun rounds
I've been saving.
And, Henry,
what are you waiting for?
I didn't fire 'cause I can't
hit a damned thing.
When you're sober.
No, Earle. Another life.
Another life.
-[Earle] How many cards?
-I'm fine.
One.
Dealer takes four.
[both moaning in pleasure]
Uh!
You're the prettiest girl
I ever seen, Ginger.
[scoffs] It's Pearl.
[laughs]
That's what I said.
[Pearl chuckles
and moans in pleasure]
[sighs] I was trying...
to find that gold...
so I can
take you away from...
all of this.
To make you a proper woman.
It's all right. [sobbing]
I'm here for you, Zeke.
Just close your eyes.
[Zeke shuddering]
I'll be right back.
[Zeke continues shuddering]
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[blood spattering]
[gasping]
[Zeke whimpering]
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[Zeke screaming]
That'll teach y'all
to mess with a righteous man.
What else you fuckers got, huh?
Huh? [laughs]
Can't kill me.
I'm Lucky. That's right.
And I'm the member
of the Dirk Gang.
And I am invincible.
-[gunshot firing]
-[thudding on ground]
Not today.
That was a gunshot.
Maybe it's Lucky.
Wouldn't put it past him.
Anyone else alive out there?
Haven't been outside much
since the massacre began.
Me neither.
You two's been cheating.
That's all there is to it.
You've been the only one dealin'
-the entire time.
-That is right.
Face it, Sam,
you just plain stink at cards.
According to that Zeke...
those creatures
might be not after us at all.
That's right.
He said he thinks
they just want their gold back
and they might leave us alone.
Gold? [chuckles]
I ain't got no gold here.
You think I'd still be running
this saloon if I did?
-What about the bank?
-That's possible.
Them Wells Fargo boys
been buying it up big time.
They might still have
some of that stuff
in that big vault of theirs.
Everybody who has the
combination to the safe is dead.
How are you gonna get at it?
Well,
I think we can handle that.
Yeah, something tells me
the three of you,
uh, could do
something like that.
[knocking on door]
Oh, fuck. [indistinct]
So...
-what did I miss?
-Not much.
How are the girls?
Ooh, boy.
They're up there resting.
Eh, let's get back to business.
We need a distraction.
Distraction?
Hell, use them girls.
Maybe you can go to hell.
[Clay chuckles]
Yeah, Clay,
maybe you should go out there
and wiggle your little butt
around to get their attention.
Dirk, you gonna let her
talk to me like that?
Yep.
[chuckles]
Where are you girls
hiding out?
No reason to be afraid
of little old me.
I don't bite...
hard.
Huh, I can see
that you're busy.
[Tommyknocker growling]
Maybe you ought
to wait 'til dawn.
'Cause things seem to quiet down
during the daytime.
You saying
they only come out at night?
Uh, that's when
all these attacks
have occurred, it seems.
That's interesting.
What you thinking?
You said
you're a photographer, right?
Yeah. That's my job.
Can you take
a picture at night?
Well, that's a challenge
I've actually been working on
right now.
Combining certain chemicals
could create
a big enough flash
to capture an image.
Do you have those chemicals
in your shop?
Got some powdered magnesium,
some chlorate,
once ignited, it...
It should produce
a pretty big flash.
There's a safety issue, though.
Can you get to it?
Yeah, my shop's
just around the corner.
Don't really wanna go alone.
Clay will go with you.
[indistinct]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
The hell I will.
I'll go with you, Julia.
We should've gone to Kansas.
All right, they got in.
Time to go.
Well, time has come.
Bottle your best, Earle.
Yeah. You sure about that?
Being sober
ain't gonna bring them back.
If I'm going out,
I wanna go happy.
You guys got
any dynamite around here?
No.
But hey, you might find some
up at the general store.
Around the corner.
You gonna try
and blow these things up?
Dynamite works
on a lot of things.
-I'll go to the bank.
-All right.
Clay and I will go
to the store.
You guys ready?
I'm staying.
This is my final stand.
Yeah. Yeah. Mine too.
My place, my rules.
I've been through
a heck of a lot worse than this
and I'll be damned
if I'm gonna be runoff now.
Suit yourself.
All right,
on the count of three.
One, two...
Dirk, I'm calling you out.
Oh, who the hell is that?
That's a good question.
Who the hell are you, mister?
Name is Tobin Horn.
Bounty hunter.
Worked for
the Pinkerton Agency some.
Maybe y'all heard of me.
I'm taking you in, boys.
That's the end of the line.
Damn.
You know that guy?
That son of a bitch
has killed over 15 men.
One was a 14-year-old boy.
He's a hired gunman.
Likes to shoot people
in the back.
[chuckles] What?
Dirk,
you're just saying that, right?
-[Dirk] No.
-Afraid not.
Hell, no.
Not in the back.
I ain't getting it
in the back.
Dirk,
I ain't going out like that.
And now, he's here for you.
Looks that way.
Oh, come on, Fred.
Our visitors are outlaws.
That was obvious
when they walked
through the front door.
They're here to rob us blind.
Probably killers
as well, too.
You know what?
You're right.
You a killer too?
Yeah.
They all had it coming.
-[loud bang]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
[woman screaming]
[screaming
and growling continues]
[gunshots firing]
I'm outta here.
[ominous music playing]
[gunshot firing]
That's two.
-[horse neighing]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
Come on!
[growling and neighing
continues]
[Tobin yelling]
-[horse neighs]
-[yelling continues]
[Earle grunting]
[Earle screaming]
-[screaming continues]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[meat squelching]
-[Earle screaming]
[Dirk grunting]
-I'll be back, all right?
-I'll be waiting.
[dramatic music playing]
Come on,
what are you, devils?
[Tommyknockers growling]
Come on,
you want some of this?
You still wanna help
these crooks?
I gonna do whatever it takes
to survive the night.
-[gun cocking]
-Please don't shoot us.
[somber music plays]
What the hell
are you people doing here?
Just trying not to be eaten.
Reckon this is
the safest place around.
Are you looking
to help us, mister?
Or are you looking
to help yourself?
I'm looking to stay alive.
How you fix on
doing that, mister?
Any more of you
out there?
-Few.
-So we're as good as dead.
Not yet.
Having any luck
with those firearms?
-Some.
-But it helps?
-It keep them away?
-There's too many of them.
Sounds like you need
something more powerful.
What do you
think will work?
We've got acid, dynamite.
You got dynamite?
Give me all you got.
You use dynamite,
you could destroy
this whole town.
Without it,
this town won't last the night.
I'd sure feel a lot better
if you could get us some guns.
Hmm.
I don't think so.
Well, reckon I'm done.
[Tommyknocker knocks
on window and growls]
[Clay] You wanna know
why I stopped drinking?
I shot a woman.
[Tommyknocker snarling]
Not a nice woman...
but she was my wife.
[Tommyknocker growling]
Gave birth to my son.
-I didn't mean to do it.
-[Tommyknocker growling]
But he never forgave me.
[voice breaks]
And I don't rightly blame him.
[Tommyknocker growling]
So, you see...
there's a special place
in hell for me waiting.
I reckon now is as good a time
as any for me to see
what lies for me
in the great hereafter.
[gun cocking]
But I'll tell you
one thing.
You ugly critters
ain't gonna be the ones
who take me there.
[gunshots firing]
There's blood in your eye.
Hey. That guy looks familiar.
That's Edward Matson.
-The mining guy?
-Yep.
They thought
his mining techniques
were destroying the land.
Raping the soil and such.
Remember those protests
a while back?
You reckon that's, uh,
why your first shop
got burned down?
The thought crossed my mind.
Maybe they were right.
You take too much from the land,
there's apt to be consequences.
Like monsters?
Consequences come in many forms.
[Tommyknocker
growling and banging]
Got a match?
Stay here. Shut your eyes.
-[camera flash booms]
-[Tommyknocker growls in pain]
Oh, praise Jesus,
it worked!
They don't like
bright light.
Living in those dark mines
for so long,
their eyes are extra sensitive
to the light.
Gives me an idea.
I think we can stop them
if we force 'em back
into the mines.
How are we gonna do that?
Maybe lead 'em back in?
Grab some of those
bottles and jars.
But be careful,
some of that stuff
is highly toxic.
[Tommyknocker growling]
[Tobin yelling]
[Tobin panting]
[Tommyknockers growling]
How's it coming along?
It'll be open
if you have the dynamite.
I got enough.
You know,
that stuff's also gonna cause
-a ruckus out there.
-Yep.
It's gonna be busy
for a while.
[Tommyknockers growling]
[women screaming]
[screaming and growling
continues]
[loud blast]
Let's see what we got.
Dirk! Hold up right there.
Turn around nice and slow.
Let me see those hands.
[somber music playing]
Well, well.
We finally meet face to face.
Yeah, well,
you're riding with
these here devils in this town?
I keep better company than that.
I knew it!
I knew it! We're rich.
Dirk, get your ass in here.
Why don't you forget
about the bounty...
and we'll cut you in
on a share?
Or I could just kill you
where you stand.
Take what's inside
for myself.
Yeah? I'd hate to do that.
I guess the stories
about you were true.
I promise you everything
you've heard about me...
I'm even worse.
So am I.
There's only one problem
with your plan.
What's that?
You would've killed me by now
if you still had
any bullets in those guns.
-[chuckles]
-[guns cock]
So...
you think
you could take me?
I reckon
I could take a shot.
[gunshot firing]
That was for Lucky and Clay.
They didn't tell me.
Betsy Dumas,
at your funeral.
Bright lights
do drive them away.
So, here's the plan.
We gotta lead the creatures
back to the mines,
-give 'em their gold back.
-Well, well, well, well.
Betsy and I got
a different plan.
What are you talking about?
We're keeping the gold.
What's the point
of having gold if you're dead?
Forget it, Julia.
There's no sense
in trying to reason with greed.
-[camera flash booming]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
Dirk! Dirk!
Don't you even try it.
Into the bank.
Grab all the gold you can,
or I'll shoot you
where you stand.
[gulps]
[whispering] More for me.
-[camera flash booming]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
Good, now keep going.
We're gonna make it.
Hey, the rest of your gang
is already dead.
What are you
still doing this for?
Because all of this
is for nothing
if I don't end up getting
what we came here for.
Keep telling yourself that.
Just how long do you think
we can keep this up?
By another hour or so
the sun will be up,
we should be okay.
I know where
we can find some horses.
Just past the edge of town
to North side.
-[camera flash booming]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
Anywhere out of town
is fine by me.
[Betsy]
Hey, where are we?
I don't see any horses.
Is that
the Dry Diggins gold mine?
Yeah, it is.
You tricked me.
You brought me here
to give those creatures back
-their gold, didn't you?
-We sure did.
I'll shoot you two
right here, right now.
Then you got to carry
all that gold yourself.
I don't think
you'll get too far.
That's the only reason
you two are still alive.
And we intend
to stay that way.
-[camera flash booming]
-[Betsy cries out in pain]
You bitch!
[footsteps approaching]
-[Miss Swift gasps]
-You okay?
I can take it from here.
I'm not leaving you.
I've been all right
on my own.
[inhales sharply]
But you don't have to be.
I'm here.
Not going anywhere.
[gunshot firing]
Go, go.
[thrilling music]
[Tommyknockers growling]
This place is like a maze.
Here, take this.
[grunts]
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[Fred] Go, go, go.
Go!
[Julia panting]
[Julia panting]
We have your gold.
We're bringing it back.
-[gun cocking]
-[Betsy] The hell you are.
You got any more
of that flash powder?
We used the last of it
-on you.
-Bet you regret that now.
Damn it, Betsy,
give them back the gold,
they'll let us
out of here.
-Give me that gold.
-You want it, go get it.
[gunshot fires]
[Betsy]
You want this?
Yeah? Well, choke on it!
[screaming]
Get out of here,
let's go.
[continues screaming]
Let's go. Go!
There's one.
[both panting]
I can't believe
we made it.
We gotta shut this down
for good.
Dynamite.
Go.
Come on, you son of a bitch!
Go.
[loud blast]
We did it.
I couldn't have done it
without you, Fred.
Well, actually, Julia,
it's James.
Fred is my middle name.
Well, it's nice
to officially meet you, James.
-[horse neighing]
-[both chuckling]
Huh.
-Wanna go for a ride?
-With you? Always.
[tranquil music playing]
[Lucky grunts]
Howdy.
-[Lucky snorting]
-It's your lucky day today.
Drinks are on the house.
What'll it be?
Whiskey.
What else?
Good choice.
[both laugh]
[laughing continues]
Each man to the devil
his own way.
Salut.
[Lucky sighs pleasurably]
[explosion]
[man coughs]
Uh, hot damn, boys.
That'll do it.
A good old-fashioned
dynamite blast
beats that modern hydraulic
water mining crap anytime.
[chuckles]
But hold on one second.
Let me-- let me see that.
[clanking]
[shovel clanking]
No, I don't think this old mine
can take much
more dynamite, Bill.
-Yeah, I think it can.
-Ah, don't be a fool, Zeke.
Looks safe enough.
I'm not gonna start
worrying about a cave-in.
There's plenty of other things
to worry about down here.
What does that mean?
Tommyknockers.
What in tarnations
are you babbling about?
You ever hear
of leprechauns?
Those elf-like creatures
dressed in green,
grant wishes, likes gold?
You can forget
the green suit and them wishes.
And they're not really
elf-like either.
Think six feet taller
and a thousand times nastier.
Come on, guys.
It's creepy enough
in here already.
No more ghost stories,
all right?
They ain't ghosts.
Shut up, Santo.
And you,
you take your folklore tales
back to Ireland.
Ain't nothing but the earth
creaking down here,
it happens all the time.
It also occurs just before
the timbers give away.
It's them Tommyknockers,
they're warning us.
I'm telling ya.
They're trying
to protect their gold.
Yeah, y'all can keep
jibber-jabbering.
I'mma go down here
and see what's what.
First comes the knocking,
then they start
calling your name
and leading you
to your death.
[in spooky voice] Bill.
Zeke.
[evil laughter]
[Austin]
Strike gold.
What?
[Austin] Come on, boys.
We did it. This way. Quick.
We strike it rich?
[ominous music plays]
[screaming]
[gasps]
[Zeke] Ah!
Hey!
Hey, guys, wait for me.
Who is that?
Bill?
Austin?
You guys better
to stop horsing around.
[ominous music plays]
Holy-moly!
Gold!
Hey, guys.
I found gold.
[panting]
Where is everyone?
Help me! Lord! Help!
-[screaming]
-[growling]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-Tommyknockers! Run, Zeke.
-Save yourself.
-What about Austin?
-[Casek] They got him.
-[Casek screams]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[screaming]
Oh shit!
[growling]
[whimpering]
[thrilling music plays]
[Zeke]
Oh, no!
-[whimpers]
-[thud]
[upbeat instrumental plays]
[music fades]
[ominous music plays]
[thud]
[coins clinking]
Too rich for my blood.
Three jacks.
Read 'em and weep.
Full house.
Looks like I win.
[coins clinking]
What are you
smiling about?
Looks like
it's my lucky day.
Royal flush.
[coins clinking]
Hey, Sam...
how are you so bad at this?
Quiet, Lucky.
How do you lose
even when you cheat?
What the hell
do you mean cheat?
I don't know
what he's talking about.
Are you cheating us, boy?
Do you know what we did
to people like you,
who stole from us
in the army?
Why don't you tell us
all about it, buttercup?
Listen here, you dirty,
little son of a bitch.
I would choose
my next word...
very carefully.
War has been over
a decade, boys.
Best get over it
or head back to Texas.
[tense music plays]
Let's stop fucking around.
[coins clinking]
Times a-wasting.
Well...
I guess it's your lucky day.
[laughs]
[floor creaking]
[barkeep]
You boys best thank the maker.
Why is that?
Not many folks survive
an encounter with the Dirk Gang.
[Maoma laughs]
Surprise! Come on.
-[chuckles]
-Have a seat.
[chuckles]
Where did they go?
Who? Down the street.
-Go get the sheriff.
-Why? Who are they?
They're wanted men.
Now, go get him. Hurry up.
-Sheriff?
-Big pay day.
I'm finally getting that money.
Now hurry your ass up.
Get 'em.
-Howdy, folks.
-[door slams shut]
I reckon y'all know
where you are at...
and you probably know
why we're here.
So, if y'all
just act accordingly.
-Please don't shoot.
-[slaps]
No one will get hurt.
What? They won't act
accordingly boss.
He's got a point.
[chuckles]
Well, I guess
she's acting accordingly now.
-Ain't you darling?
-[laughs]
The boys are just
having a little fun.
That's all.
I wanna make a withdrawal.
Come on, guys.
Come on. Go, go, go, go.
Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go.
Get in-- get inside.
The sheriff
is almost here.
Get down.
Sheriff's on his way.
They're in place.
Yes, sir.
I don't want any trouble.
-Mm-hmm.
-How much would you like?
Well, let me think about that.
I'll take it all.
Now, why don't you go back there
and open that safe?
[Betsy] Just do
what he says Mr. Thomas.
Please.
There you go.
I'll take what's behind
that counter, little lady.
All right.
Just don't hurt me.
No.
Boss, I think we ought to take
a collection
from these bootlickers?
We came here
to make a deposit...
then do it.
Whoa! Hot damn.
You heard the man.
I'm here
asking for a loan.
[laughs]
Sir, I regret to inform you,
that your application
has been denied.
You too.
All right.
I think you guys
got enough back there.
I'll be the judge of that.
Hand it over.
Now, when I said
little lady...
I wasn't demeaning
your height, you know?
In fact...
you're perfect
just the way you are.
I'm not offended,
just terrified.
I've only got a few coins,
and this might
not mean a lot to you,
-but it does mean a lot to me.
-[gun clicks]
Are they worth dying over?
I guess not.
[coins clattering]
She better get
out of there quick.
[man]
What is she doing?
She's gonna
get herself killed.
Get outta there.
Get outta there.
Little old me...
terrified?
Please.
Where are you going, ma'am?
What, are you deaf?
-[gun shot]
-[woman screams]
-She is, now.
-[chuckles]
Lucky, I said
no killing unless necessary.
Well, hey Dirk,
it seem necessary to me, buddy.
[Maoma] Well, the Marshal
sure heard that one, boys.
Yes, please go now,
before anyone else gets hurt.
-You telling us what to do?
-No, of course not.
-[squish]
-[whimpers]
-[thuds]
-Adios.
You deserve that.
Maoma, I said no killing.
Period. You understand?
You know, darling,
we're gonna need us a hostage
and you're it.
No, please.
I won't tell a soul
what happened.
You know what?
I know you're not.
Let her go.
Do you wanna
take her place?
I didn't think so.
Down!
Here. It's here.
[guns cocking]
Sherry, get outta the street.
Sherry, down now. Move!
Clay, grab that bag.
Ladies and gentlemen,
much obliged.
Y'all have
a good day now, you hear?
-[Maoma] Yippee!
-[laughing]
-Where'd they all go?
-[laughs]
-Nobody move.
-[indistinct]
Nobody move
or the girl gets it.
I ain't talking
about the money either.
Please, no,
nobody shoot.
Let the girl go!
Look, Marshal,
all these people
are scared already.
It's just us
and you, Marshal,
and they
ain't good odds.
Let her go now.
-I think we'll take our chance.
-[Lucky laughs]
[gunshots]
Get it, get it, get it.
[gunshots]
-Come on, [indistinct].
-[gunshots]
Sullivan!
-[bullet pops]
-[grunts]
[gunshots]
-[Dirk] Come on, let's go boys.
-[horse neighs]
[gun shots]
[gunshots continue]
[Marshal grunts]
-[gunshots]
-[yells]
-[gunshots]
-[groans]
[Marshal pants]
[Marshal groans]
Well, what are you gonna
do now, Marshal?
[grunts]
Not much I can do right now
with this hole in my leg.
I think I can get Johnny
to send out a telegram,
get the army in on this.
I think we need to have a posse.
I'll lead it.
The Marshal will need attention.
That leg will get
infected on the trail.
What's stopping us?
We should get going
right now.
Times a-wasting.
Hold on, fellas.
That ain't the best idea.
And you guys
need to think it through.
Exactly how many men
do you need for this posse?
There's only a handful of them.
-We need to get going.
-You ain't got what it takes.
And another thing,
some of them gangs
been known to double back
after the posse left.
So, you could spend
a couple days out on the trail
trying to impress
your women folk,
but that
ain't gonna make the town
any safer while you're gone.
So, maybe we have to report this
to authorities after all.
You really wanna
go out there
risking your lives,
just to get the bank
it's money back?
Take care of your own first!
The bank hasn't been
exactly kind to us,
now, has it?
I never heard
so much hot air in my life.
All this talking
and no doing.
I said I'll lead
the posse and I will.
Now, who's gonna
come with me?
I ain't a good shot
as I used to be.
I'd probably
just slow you down.
Pitiful, just like usual.
I gotta be the one
to do something.
And just like usual,
I gotta do it myself.
Now, hold on, mister.
We talked this through
and the consensus is
we're gonna call in the army.
Good luck with that.
I'm leaving.
And when
you sleeping well tonight,
I hope you think of me
out there in the cold,
doing what none of you
had the backbone to do.
Now, get out of my way.
[rousing music plays]
[Lucky]
How's it feel? Feel good?
[sniffs]
Smells like success to me, boys.
[laughs]
Well, hey,
you weren't the one shot twice.
You're okay, Lucky?
-I'll live.
-You always do.
Yeah, well,
rounds went clean through.
That's why
we call you Lucky.
[laughs] Yeah.
I can't believe
you had me cooped up
in this thing for weeks.
Where's my share?
[Lucky chuckles]
Gonna play nice?
Why?
I know that's
not the way you like it.
All right, boys.
Let's see what we got.
Give me my split.
You heard the little lady.
[chuckles]
I almost smacked you back
at the bank for that remark.
Yes, you did.
Good thing
I was a professional actress.
Yes, you are.
Never break character.
Part of my training.
I still don't see
why Betsy gets an even split
with the rest of us.
[chuckles]
Yeah, considering, uh,
it was us who took all risk.
What risks?
I set the whole thing up
and got y'all a clean getaway.
You blew your cover
slapping that lady.
[chuckles]
Lucky,
nobody wants to shoot
a cute, innocent victim.
Hey, little lady. I got shot.
Twice.
Well, that's to be expected.
What does it make it?
15, 16 times?
Hell no. I'm up to 20
and that's not counting
knife wounds.
You'll not be smiling
if I come at you.
Oh.
Only if you come at me
backwards, buttercup.
-[smooching sound]
-[laughing]
[Betsy] And Sam, besides,
if you got a bigger share,
you'd only
gamble it away sooner.
Bet you, I wouldn't.
I'd happily take that wager.
Well, you ain't the only one
with a pretty face.
You're going back there,
ask them ladies...
see what they say.
And what I am?
You're my girl.
That's what you are.
[Clay] Fine.
I prefer to pay
for my cherries anyways.
At least then I know
exactly what I'm paying for.
[thuds]
[chuckles]
Hey, Clay. Clay?
You still afraid someone
gonna get you from behind?
The day I get it...
I just wanna make sure
I see it coming.
I heard that.
You know,
you didn't have to kill
that bank manager
back there, Maoma.
He wasn't gonna try anything.
They all deserved it.
So...
where are we going from here?
[Clay] Well,
I don't know about y'all...
but I'm hankering for me
a little whorehouse.
[all chuckle]
-One track mind.
-[laughter]
[Clay] Yeah.
Going straight to the devil.
[Dirk] Well, Betsy and I
have been discussing
about one big payday.
[Clay] Mmm.
I like the sound of that.
It's as long as we sidestep
that bleeding Kansas.
There's a war going on there
and I want no part of it.
Oh, shit, Sam.
I would think
you'd want in on that action.
No, thank you.
I'm planning on staying alive.
Uh-huh.
I can understand that.
[Sam] I'm gonna keep
my life real simple.
Just rob,
steal and spend the money.
Just need another couple
of good banks or two
and I'll be sitting pretty.
You better hold it tight.
-It's all mine.
-[Lucky chuckles]
What if I said
a bank with gold in it?
[thrilling music plays]
I thought
that'd get your attention.
Now, about a year ago,
a poor Englishman stole
some gold off a train
headed from London to Paris.
Now, we're robbing trains?
No, too risky
thanks to Pinkerton's men.
You guys ever hear of the town
of Deer Creek in Nevada?
Mm-hmm.
[Betsy]
They have been mining gold
in the Dry Diggins mines
on the outskirts of town.
About a five-day ride from here.
I'm listening.
[Betsy]
Well, you know Henry Wells,
William Fargo and their company?
-[chuckles]
-Of course, we do.
-[laughs]
-Them's old banks.
Yeah, they are.
Even buying gold
selling bank drafts.
Who'd want to do that?
[Betsy] They say
it's as good as gold.
People trust them.
Town of Nevada trusts them.
The bank is just
in the center of town,
-loaded with the stuff.
-Uh-uh.
Too many people.
We're gonna get caught.
[Dirk]
I don't know, Lucky.
I mean, gold rush is almost over
and mines...
there ain't no one
in there anymore.
And everyone's
moving on to silver.
That gold is in them banks.
Waiting for us.
It'll be easy.
The miners already did
all the hard work.
We just gotta go
collect it.
Count me in.
Me too.
Let's do it.
-[Lucky exclaims]
-[laughs]
Oh, damn.
[chuckles]
[horse neighs]
Howdy, stranger.
What can I do for you?
-[horse neighs]
-[Tobin] Well, Marshal...
it's more what I can do for you.
Name is Tobin Horn.
Tracker.
Some people call me
a range detective.
Work for the Pinkerton Agency
as of late.
Alan Pinkerton?
Up outta Chicago?
Yep. One and the same.
I've heard of you.
You're that feller that's been
collecting the bounties
on them railway robbers,
dead or alive.
Mostly dead.
But, I hear a wind
that you bank here
got held up this week.
-[horse neighs]
-You heard right.
Well, how much they get?
$5,000 in cash.
Hmm.
Killed our bank manager, too.
Stabbed and gutted him.
Hmm.
They shot off my ear.
Hey, how many were there?
-What?
-How many were there?
There was four.
No, five, five of them.
One of 'em was pretending
to be a customer.
He said they were the Dirk Gang.
Yeah, they got
our brand new bank teller, too.
Pretty young gal,
name was Betsy.
Probably raped
and killed by now.
I tried to stop them,
but I was outnumbered.
Well, they slapped me
in the face.
As a reward?
For slapping me.
$200 a head.
You said dead?
I'd prefer them alive.
I'd prefer them dead.
Well, little lady,
happy to oblige.
Is there a telegraph
in these here parts?
Yep.
Western Union
just down there piece.
I'll need to send telegram.
First, need to wet my whistle.
Where's the saloon
in this here town?
Right across the street.
[horse neighs]
[galloping]
[somber music plays]
Oh, shit!
Here we go again.
[lock rattling]
Hey, what happened here?
Bank got robbed.
That's what happened.
Anybody get hurt?
Yeah, the manager,
they cut him wide open.
It was a horrible sight.
Who did it?
Dirk Gang.
They're all loose around here.
[boards creak]
[Marshal] Hey,
surprised to see you here.
Suppose you heard the news.
I'm sorry about your brother.
I truly am.
[man]
Why are you still here?
Why aren't you out
hunting the bastards
that killed my brother?
Why I don't have
a posse out there right now?
Yeah.
Well, considering who
the bounty hunter is out there,
there's no need.
Found somebody to do
your dirty work, huh, Marshal?
We'll bring them in, all right?
Where are you going now?
I'm gonna avenge my brother.
Don't do it.
Let the law take care of it.
I'm gonna find 'em
and I'm gonna kill 'em.
I'm telling you,
I don't wanna
have to arrest you.
Get outta my way.
God dammit.
[soft music plays]
[horse neighs]
[horse neighs]
[tense music plays]
There it's.
Town of Deer Creek.
Looks quiet.
Just the way I like it.
[Lucky]
Too quiet.
You prefer we hit Kansas?
[horses neigh]
Dirk, you want me to ride ahead
and scoop it out
like last time?
I don't want them
to get used to your routine.
People catch on.
Boss, I'll go
check out the bank.
If you can make it
past the saloon house.
-[laughs]
-Me?
You find a card game
you'll be done for days.
Days?
He'd run outta money in hours.
Minutes.
All right, quiet now.
Let's be professional.
Go in and do our job.
I don't understand
why we can't have a little fun
while we're here.
[Sam]
I agree with him.
[ominous music plays]
Where the hell
is everybody?
[indistinct]
Maybe they all took their gold,
went off to California.
There's gotta be
someone around.
Are saloons supposed to be
open during the day?
I don't like this town.
There's bad mojo in the air.
[chuckles] It probably
just senses you're here.
Think the word got out
to everybody
that the Dirk Gang
was incoming?
[whoops] Hah! Yeah!
[indistinct]
Highly doubt [indistinct].
Speak for yourself.
Dirk Gang has got
quite a reputation.
That ain't a good thing.
Let's split up.
Bound to find someone
in this God forsaken place.
[Dirk]
I'll catch you later.
Come on.
[ominous music plays]
[door creaks open]
No tellers
and the place is unlocked.
This place is just asking
to get robbed.
Something doesn't look right.
I don't like this.
Don't like it at all.
[Dirk]
Safe still looks locked.
[coins clinking]
[suspenseful music plays]
[indistinct humming]
[doors creak open]
Hey! I heard that.
Who's up there?
You better come out.
[door creaks open]
Hello?
Anyone here?
Something ain't right.
[horses neigh]
-[wood creaks]
-[horses neigh]
[tense music plays]
What the fuck?
Is someone alive
down there?
Hello?
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-Shit! Shit!
Shit!
[gunshots]
Well...
if they didn't know
we were here...
they do now.
[Tommyknocker growling]
Sounded like
it came from the church.
Get inside.
They're coming.
-[Betsy] What's coming?
-You don't wanna know.
In or out, last chance.
-[Tommyknocker growling]
[Fred]
Come on!
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[Maoma] Shit! Shit!
-[screaming]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
Hey!
Who's up here?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Are you here to save us?
Not my original plan.
Well,
what's the plan now?
Hmm.
I meant
for getting us out of here.
Are you girls all right?
I told you not to go outside.
Who are you?
Well, ma'am, say, uh...
be your customer.
You think
we'll let you spend it?
[man] Oh, great.
Now, they know we're here.
Well, that was inevitable.
[man]
They're coming back anyway.
Just a matter of time.
Over here's tightened up
as best as possible.
They not getting back there.
They damn near broke through
last time.
How long you think
this place is hold up?
It's gonna hold up
as long as it needs to, okay?
-You want me to watch out back?
-No, it's too tight.
They'll break through
and you'll be dead
and I need you.
-Sure thing, Marshal.
-All right.
All seems like a waste of time.
I caught a glimpse
on one of them things
and they
ain't gonna be held back
-by a couple of nails.
-I hear you.
We just sitting here
waiting to die.
You might as well throw
the dirt over us right now.
Yeah.
But, we can make that wait
as pleasurable as possible.
This should take
the pain away.
-[glasses clink]
-Bar is closed
Are you serious, Marshal?
I think a bit of Dutch courage
might not go astray right now.
I'm deadly serious.
I need these people
in this saloon
to be as sober
and as on top of it
and fight as well as possible.
All right then, Marshal.
If you say so.
[Hall]
He does say so.
And if you ask me
there's a little too much jawing
going on around here.
So, I'd appreciate
a little bit of quiet.
I don't think I'll be
much help to you here, Marshal.
Come on, Henry,
when I say everybody,
I mean everybody.
The [indistinct] implies
everybody in your part
of everybody, right?
I realize that John,
but it's been a long time
since I've been
in fighting shape.
Now look,
if I let you have a drink
I'll let everybody
have a drink.
I'm gonna have
nothing but excuses.
Yeah, I know, but ma--
maybe I can take it
in the back room.
John, just a little sniffter.
No one will see me.
What's the harm?
I'll sneak you some
back there if you'll stop.
No exceptions. Okay?
That means you too.
-All right?
-Okay.
Well, I'll try.
If you can't shoot a gun...
you can swing a boar.
And we know
you can throw a bottle.
Okay, Henry?
All right. Give it here.
This is now a dry town.
I need everybody in here
as sober as possible.
You kidding me, Marshal?
We're as good as dead.
And you know it.
[marshal]
No, I don't.
We may not beat them
but we're gonna fight them
until the army gets here.
-The army?
-The army.
Well, that's good.
It means we just gotta hold out
for about six months.
Hell, we'll be dead by dawn.
Take it easy.
How do you think
I should be taking it?
Just 'cause we're headed
for a bad end doesn't mean
you pitching a fit
and causing a ruckus
is gonna do us any good.
All that's gonna do
is start to make me angry.
And you don't wanna
make me angry.
[Wong] I appreciate
your confidence, Marshal,
but how exactly
are you fixing on
keeping us alive?
I'm gonna do the best I can
and take it
one moment at a time, sir.
I hate to say it,
but I don't believe
that isn't enough.
Then we all die.
Horribly.
You seem so keen on dying.
Why don't you just
walk out that door?
I reckon
I'll stay here a spell.
Should be an interesting night.
I wouldn't wanna miss it.
Hey...
you, you new around here, huh?
Yeah.
Just, uh,
we're just passing through.
-Just passing through?
-Yeah.
You couldn't be passing through
at a worse time.
Just went dry around here.
You know what?
I might be needing you
if you like it.
We can stick around.
I see you, Antonio.
Uncle,
we should never have come here.
We should have stayed
in San Francisco.
One does not become rich
staying in one place.
There is always more,
more to be strived for.
I wish we'd never left.
What the hell?
There's a woman out there.
Hey, you!
Get in here now.
Pardon me?
Leave the damn horse
and get in here.
[ominous music plays]
What's going on?
Some sort of creatures
on the loose out there.
-Creatures?
-Yes, afraid so, ma'am.
And look,
we're all in this together.
I'm looking for
my husband, Joseph.
-Have you seen him?
-Joseph?
Um, no.
You know, he might be upstairs
with the, um--
I know what's upstairs.
I have to go up.
I can't let you,
it's dangerous out there.
-I won't let you.
-I'm going.
-Okay, look--
-Marshal, I can go.
All right,
that sounds good, but, um,
she's gonna need more than,
you know...
It'd be mighty gentleman of you
if you offered up one
of those handguns you got there.
Well, I ain't much a gentleman.
Neither am I.
But I might insist
this time, sir.
All right.
Packs a hell of a kick.
[Hall]
Let's go.
Down there. Around the corner.
Go, go, go, go.
[tense music plays]
I'm looking for my husband.
Have you seen him?
-He ain't here.
-He glad not to be.
I ain't said his name yet.
I ain't gonna shoot him.
This is just for protection.
He still ain't here.
The only men here
are spoken for.
[Lulu]
I hate to tell you this,
but not many people
left around here.
Everything's closed.
If he came around here,
he probably met
with some trouble.
Best be hoping
he went someplace else.
Have you seen my husband,
Joseph?
Sorry, honey.
I don't work here.
-I don't know anyone here.
-Oh.
Just glad you think
I still got looks
enough to be considered.
[horse neighs]
It's one thing
to hear a man dying
but a horse,
it just ain't right.
Are you fixing
to waste a bullet?
I need to put that poor thing
out it's misery.
That poor thing won't be there
when you get out there.
These things
are dragging off anything
that has got meat
attached to 'em.
I can't hear it.
I'm going to look for it.
Close the door behind me.
I'm still the sheriff.
And I'm still responsible
for the safety
of the people of this town,
no matter what a fool they are.
-Hold on a minute, Marshal.
-What is it?
You swore to protect
the people of this town?
Well,
most of the people still alive
are in this room.
I think
you have to be most useful
if you stayed here.
Look, like I said,
I have a sworn duty
to protect the people
in this town
and that's what I'm going to do.
Deputy Hall will be here
and I'll be right back.
Marshal, I don't mean
to get above my standing here,
but maybe these folks
have something
worth listening to.
Deputy Hall...
-[Hall scoffs]
-I'll be right back.
Okay.
Well...
since our Marshal ain't here.
Nothing's changed.
[ominous music plays]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[gunshots]
[elderly prisoner] Thank mercy
you're all right, Marshal.
So good to see you.
Huh. Yeah.
[Dan]
Is it safe out there?
[coughs] Oh, no.
Hold, hold, hold, hold.
You might wanna
stay right here.
What do you mean by that?
Are you saying
there's still a danger?
[marshal]
Exactly what I'm saying.
What have you been doing?
Keeping people safe out there.
Same as ever.
That ain't good, Marshal.
I was expecting
a little bit more from you.
Jake, you know,
I always expected
to see you in here one day,
but not of your own accord.
[chuckles]
I'm a fine citizen.
Now, what exactly
are you planning of doing?
Right now
I'm, uh, leaving here
and back to the saloon,
help defend it.
Wait, what about us?
[sighs] You know,
you're as safe here
as anywhere.
Give me a gun. I'll join you.
Nothing available.
And not enough
ammunition either.
Get me a knife,
so I can defend myself.
Just stay put.
I'll call for y'all
when it's safe.
At least bring us something
to eat and drink, Marshal.
There's nothing left
in the whole town,
but I'll be back.
I'll be back...
when it's safe out there, okay?
Marshal! Do something.
[scoffs] I am.
I can't believe it.
We got two options.
Stay in here,
die of thirst
or die from those things.
Good to see
you're keeping positive, Dan.
[growling]
[ominous music plays]
They're coming.
What are those things?
We believe monsters.
Inhuman ones?
No.
That's okay, Missy.
They believe in you.
In killing you, that is.
You know, Clay and Lucky
are still out there.
We gotta go get 'em.
Forget it, mister.
They're outside,
they're already dead.
You don't know Lucky.
You don't know
those creatures.
Who are you people?
We're just strangers
passing through.
We work together occasionally.
Who the hell are you people?
Henry Middleton
at your service.
Let me guess.
Town drunk?
Former town drunk.
Been sober now
for almost two years.
Being trapped here
in this saloon
is my idea of a personal hell.
I'm Earle. The owner.
Fred, blacksmith.
-And you are?
-[Julie] Julie Ann Swift.
Let me guess.
School teacher.
Trying to be,
but I changed vocations
midstream.
Took up photography.
Got a new shop down the street.
Yeah. The first one burned down.
How'd that happen?
Took some pictures
someone didn't like.
How long has this thing
been going on?
The attacks started
three nights ago.
According to Zeke,
they came outta the mines.
We call 'em
Tommyknockers.
Who the hell is Zeke?
Hell with Zeke.
What's a Tommyknocker?
A bunch of
blood thirsty sons of bitches
that eat
anything that moves.
[Earle]
It started with the miners.
Then, they ate the livestock,
the bank workers,
just about everybody in town.
Some fled,
but I don't think they made it.
We heard their screams
that went out into the night.
It was horrible.
Well, the apocalypse is upon us.
Might as well just sit back
and enjoy the ride now.
The stairs out back,
where do they go to?
They go to paradise for some.
They lead up to the bedroom
for Sally and her slim gals.
Slim gals? How many?
There's four, including Sally.
Well, this night might've gotten
a hell of a lot better.
I wouldn't object
to some female companionship.
[Yat sobbing]
Don't worry. It's gonna be okay.
Okay? We got this.
You guys all right?
-Yes, sir.
-Yeah.
-All right.
-[coins jingle]
-Who's ahead?
-[man scoffs]
[man]
Always, always.
-[glass shatters]
-[screams]
[Tommyknocker growling]
-[gunshots]
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[screaming]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[screaming]
-[gunshot]
-[Tommyknockers growl]
I owe you one.
-[growling]
-[man] Deputy Hall!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
-[screams]
-[gunshot]
[shouts]
[Tommyknocker growling]
Welcome to our nightmare.
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[screaming]
-[screaming]
-[gunshot]
What on earth
is that thing?
Let's just kill 'em
and worry about the rest later.
I heard some of these girls
usually have protection.
You think that's gonna help us?
That's the best
I've got right now.
If you see something heavier,
how about you grab it for me?
You got it.
[ominous music plays]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[gun shots]
What the hell is that, Marshal?
[marshal]
You saved my life.
These bastards just keep
killing people and eating 'em.
We best get outta here, huh?
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[gunshots]
Marshal's getting attacked
out there.
Here, board up that door.
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[gun shots]
-I'm out!
-I got you, Marshal.
-[Marshal screams]
-[gunshot]
-[tense music plays]
-[Wong screams]
-[Tommyknockers growl]
-[gunshot]
-Get your ass inside.
-[Fred] Open the door.
[Tommyknockers
pound on door]
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[gunshot]
Let's get you in here.
-[saloon girls screaming]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
Ladies.
-Sir.
-Evening.
Have you come to rescue us?
Can we leave now?
I'm afraid not.
Up here is probably
the safest place in town.
I need to leave.
My horse is out front.
Can you escort me to it?
[Dirk]
Sorry, ma'am,
all the horses outside are dead.
Including the people.
Oh, no. Buttercup.
I thought you were dead.
-Disappointed.
-Yeah.
Good to see you, too.
I've been up here
comforting the ladies.
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[girls screaming]
[Tommyknocker growling]
Mighty nice knife
you got there.
Thank you. Thank you.
Perfect for gutting somebody.
-[metal clanks]
-[Maoma groans]
Like my brother, the banker.
[suspenseful music plays]
[horse neighs]
-You a bounty hunter?
-No.
You don't mind
if I claim that one?
He's all yours.
Whoa, whoa, hold up.
I got a poster
with your name on it.
-You're coming with me.
-You're mistaken.
-[gun clicks]
-Huh, empty.
[gunshot]
[ominous music plays]
[Tommyknocker growling]
What happened?
[Tommyknockers growling]
They got Maoma.
Wonder who else.
We'll see.
Seem this little thing
had some use after all.
Thank you.
He will command
his angels concerning you...
to guard you
in all your ways.
[indistinct]
Girls, back in the room.
Board up the windows
with anything you can find.
One hell of a night.
Come on.
And here we thought
you were laying out there
dead somewhere.
-Where's Lucky?
-Huh. I don't know.
Right now, don't even care.
[Dirk]
Don't even care.
Maoma is dead.
I know. I saw.
At least you got
one of them, though.
Yeah.
What are those things?
[chuckles]
To hell if I know.
Oh, shit. Forgot my gun.
Go get it.
We gotta find out
what hell these creatures are.
It's Zeke Kilman.
He's a miner.
The only survivor
from the first attack.
He just showed up at the saloon
on the second night.
Barely conscious.
And then he collapsed.
He's been sleeping ever since.
The only thing
he said to me...
was that he was sorry
they dug too deep.
And something
about Tommyknockers.
-Very cryptic.
-[Lulu] Mm-hmm
[Zeke] Uh.
They came for...
For the gold.
Oh, good Lord in heaven.
He's awake.
[Zeke] Uh.
Hi.
What'd you say about gold,
mister?
In the mines...
we disturbed their gold.
Casek...
and Santo warned us...
but we didn't listen.
Can you tell us more about it?
Yeah. Start with the gold.
Oh, Clay. Don't leave me.
Well, come downstairs
with me then.
I think we'd have a lot more fun
-up here.
-[knocks on door]
-Who's there?
-[Sally] It's Sally.
Can I come in?
Come on.
With all the goings on
I wanted to make sure
everything was all right.
[chuckles]
I think
we're gonna be just fine.
[ominous music plays]
Adios, piggy.
Okay, Lucky. Get up.
Get your ass up.
[grunts and pants]
[groans] Sh--
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-Oh, no, no.
-[empty gun clicks]
-Shit. Damn!
Come on get--
come on, get back.
I see you. I see--
[whoops and laughs]
Come on, goddamn demons,
wanna get some?
Come on, come on.
Come on, goddamn demons.
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-Take it, take it.
You wanna see the light, baby?
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-Come on.
You wanna get baptised, I'll
show you the light. Come on.
You sure
you don't wanna join us, Fred?
I can't believe you're playing
cards at a time like this.
It's like
it's the end of the world,
might as well do what you like,
is what I say.
Mrs. Swift, you in?
It's Miss Swift.
And no, thank you.
I wager 20.
I will see that bet.
[knocking on door]
Keep knocking,
but you can't come in.
Uh, I'm a little low on cash
at the moment.
Uh, would you consider
a little trade?
It's even loaded.
You had a loaded gun
this whole time?
I checked the gun shop earlier.
Plenty of guns,
but no ammo.
We went through
most of our ammo
on night number two.
Except for a few shotgun rounds
I've been saving.
And, Henry,
what are you waiting for?
I didn't fire 'cause I can't
hit a damned thing.
When you're sober.
No, Earle. Another life.
Another life.
-[Earle] How many cards?
-I'm fine.
One.
Dealer takes four.
[both moaning in pleasure]
Uh!
You're the prettiest girl
I ever seen, Ginger.
[scoffs] It's Pearl.
[laughs]
That's what I said.
[Pearl chuckles
and moans in pleasure]
[sighs] I was trying...
to find that gold...
so I can
take you away from...
all of this.
To make you a proper woman.
It's all right. [sobbing]
I'm here for you, Zeke.
Just close your eyes.
[Zeke shuddering]
I'll be right back.
[Zeke continues shuddering]
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[blood spattering]
[gasping]
[Zeke whimpering]
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[Zeke screaming]
That'll teach y'all
to mess with a righteous man.
What else you fuckers got, huh?
Huh? [laughs]
Can't kill me.
I'm Lucky. That's right.
And I'm the member
of the Dirk Gang.
And I am invincible.
-[gunshot firing]
-[thudding on ground]
Not today.
That was a gunshot.
Maybe it's Lucky.
Wouldn't put it past him.
Anyone else alive out there?
Haven't been outside much
since the massacre began.
Me neither.
You two's been cheating.
That's all there is to it.
You've been the only one dealin'
-the entire time.
-That is right.
Face it, Sam,
you just plain stink at cards.
According to that Zeke...
those creatures
might be not after us at all.
That's right.
He said he thinks
they just want their gold back
and they might leave us alone.
Gold? [chuckles]
I ain't got no gold here.
You think I'd still be running
this saloon if I did?
-What about the bank?
-That's possible.
Them Wells Fargo boys
been buying it up big time.
They might still have
some of that stuff
in that big vault of theirs.
Everybody who has the
combination to the safe is dead.
How are you gonna get at it?
Well,
I think we can handle that.
Yeah, something tells me
the three of you,
uh, could do
something like that.
[knocking on door]
Oh, fuck. [indistinct]
So...
-what did I miss?
-Not much.
How are the girls?
Ooh, boy.
They're up there resting.
Eh, let's get back to business.
We need a distraction.
Distraction?
Hell, use them girls.
Maybe you can go to hell.
[Clay chuckles]
Yeah, Clay,
maybe you should go out there
and wiggle your little butt
around to get their attention.
Dirk, you gonna let her
talk to me like that?
Yep.
[chuckles]
Where are you girls
hiding out?
No reason to be afraid
of little old me.
I don't bite...
hard.
Huh, I can see
that you're busy.
[Tommyknocker growling]
Maybe you ought
to wait 'til dawn.
'Cause things seem to quiet down
during the daytime.
You saying
they only come out at night?
Uh, that's when
all these attacks
have occurred, it seems.
That's interesting.
What you thinking?
You said
you're a photographer, right?
Yeah. That's my job.
Can you take
a picture at night?
Well, that's a challenge
I've actually been working on
right now.
Combining certain chemicals
could create
a big enough flash
to capture an image.
Do you have those chemicals
in your shop?
Got some powdered magnesium,
some chlorate,
once ignited, it...
It should produce
a pretty big flash.
There's a safety issue, though.
Can you get to it?
Yeah, my shop's
just around the corner.
Don't really wanna go alone.
Clay will go with you.
[indistinct]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
The hell I will.
I'll go with you, Julia.
We should've gone to Kansas.
All right, they got in.
Time to go.
Well, time has come.
Bottle your best, Earle.
Yeah. You sure about that?
Being sober
ain't gonna bring them back.
If I'm going out,
I wanna go happy.
You guys got
any dynamite around here?
No.
But hey, you might find some
up at the general store.
Around the corner.
You gonna try
and blow these things up?
Dynamite works
on a lot of things.
-I'll go to the bank.
-All right.
Clay and I will go
to the store.
You guys ready?
I'm staying.
This is my final stand.
Yeah. Yeah. Mine too.
My place, my rules.
I've been through
a heck of a lot worse than this
and I'll be damned
if I'm gonna be runoff now.
Suit yourself.
All right,
on the count of three.
One, two...
Dirk, I'm calling you out.
Oh, who the hell is that?
That's a good question.
Who the hell are you, mister?
Name is Tobin Horn.
Bounty hunter.
Worked for
the Pinkerton Agency some.
Maybe y'all heard of me.
I'm taking you in, boys.
That's the end of the line.
Damn.
You know that guy?
That son of a bitch
has killed over 15 men.
One was a 14-year-old boy.
He's a hired gunman.
Likes to shoot people
in the back.
[chuckles] What?
Dirk,
you're just saying that, right?
-[Dirk] No.
-Afraid not.
Hell, no.
Not in the back.
I ain't getting it
in the back.
Dirk,
I ain't going out like that.
And now, he's here for you.
Looks that way.
Oh, come on, Fred.
Our visitors are outlaws.
That was obvious
when they walked
through the front door.
They're here to rob us blind.
Probably killers
as well, too.
You know what?
You're right.
You a killer too?
Yeah.
They all had it coming.
-[loud bang]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
[woman screaming]
[screaming
and growling continues]
[gunshots firing]
I'm outta here.
[ominous music playing]
[gunshot firing]
That's two.
-[horse neighing]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
Come on!
[growling and neighing
continues]
[Tobin yelling]
-[horse neighs]
-[yelling continues]
[Earle grunting]
[Earle screaming]
-[screaming continues]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
-[meat squelching]
-[Earle screaming]
[Dirk grunting]
-I'll be back, all right?
-I'll be waiting.
[dramatic music playing]
Come on,
what are you, devils?
[Tommyknockers growling]
Come on,
you want some of this?
You still wanna help
these crooks?
I gonna do whatever it takes
to survive the night.
-[gun cocking]
-Please don't shoot us.
[somber music plays]
What the hell
are you people doing here?
Just trying not to be eaten.
Reckon this is
the safest place around.
Are you looking
to help us, mister?
Or are you looking
to help yourself?
I'm looking to stay alive.
How you fix on
doing that, mister?
Any more of you
out there?
-Few.
-So we're as good as dead.
Not yet.
Having any luck
with those firearms?
-Some.
-But it helps?
-It keep them away?
-There's too many of them.
Sounds like you need
something more powerful.
What do you
think will work?
We've got acid, dynamite.
You got dynamite?
Give me all you got.
You use dynamite,
you could destroy
this whole town.
Without it,
this town won't last the night.
I'd sure feel a lot better
if you could get us some guns.
Hmm.
I don't think so.
Well, reckon I'm done.
[Tommyknocker knocks
on window and growls]
[Clay] You wanna know
why I stopped drinking?
I shot a woman.
[Tommyknocker snarling]
Not a nice woman...
but she was my wife.
[Tommyknocker growling]
Gave birth to my son.
-I didn't mean to do it.
-[Tommyknocker growling]
But he never forgave me.
[voice breaks]
And I don't rightly blame him.
[Tommyknocker growling]
So, you see...
there's a special place
in hell for me waiting.
I reckon now is as good a time
as any for me to see
what lies for me
in the great hereafter.
[gun cocking]
But I'll tell you
one thing.
You ugly critters
ain't gonna be the ones
who take me there.
[gunshots firing]
There's blood in your eye.
Hey. That guy looks familiar.
That's Edward Matson.
-The mining guy?
-Yep.
They thought
his mining techniques
were destroying the land.
Raping the soil and such.
Remember those protests
a while back?
You reckon that's, uh,
why your first shop
got burned down?
The thought crossed my mind.
Maybe they were right.
You take too much from the land,
there's apt to be consequences.
Like monsters?
Consequences come in many forms.
[Tommyknocker
growling and banging]
Got a match?
Stay here. Shut your eyes.
-[camera flash booms]
-[Tommyknocker growls in pain]
Oh, praise Jesus,
it worked!
They don't like
bright light.
Living in those dark mines
for so long,
their eyes are extra sensitive
to the light.
Gives me an idea.
I think we can stop them
if we force 'em back
into the mines.
How are we gonna do that?
Maybe lead 'em back in?
Grab some of those
bottles and jars.
But be careful,
some of that stuff
is highly toxic.
[Tommyknocker growling]
[Tobin yelling]
[Tobin panting]
[Tommyknockers growling]
How's it coming along?
It'll be open
if you have the dynamite.
I got enough.
You know,
that stuff's also gonna cause
-a ruckus out there.
-Yep.
It's gonna be busy
for a while.
[Tommyknockers growling]
[women screaming]
[screaming and growling
continues]
[loud blast]
Let's see what we got.
Dirk! Hold up right there.
Turn around nice and slow.
Let me see those hands.
[somber music playing]
Well, well.
We finally meet face to face.
Yeah, well,
you're riding with
these here devils in this town?
I keep better company than that.
I knew it!
I knew it! We're rich.
Dirk, get your ass in here.
Why don't you forget
about the bounty...
and we'll cut you in
on a share?
Or I could just kill you
where you stand.
Take what's inside
for myself.
Yeah? I'd hate to do that.
I guess the stories
about you were true.
I promise you everything
you've heard about me...
I'm even worse.
So am I.
There's only one problem
with your plan.
What's that?
You would've killed me by now
if you still had
any bullets in those guns.
-[chuckles]
-[guns cock]
So...
you think
you could take me?
I reckon
I could take a shot.
[gunshot firing]
That was for Lucky and Clay.
They didn't tell me.
Betsy Dumas,
at your funeral.
Bright lights
do drive them away.
So, here's the plan.
We gotta lead the creatures
back to the mines,
-give 'em their gold back.
-Well, well, well, well.
Betsy and I got
a different plan.
What are you talking about?
We're keeping the gold.
What's the point
of having gold if you're dead?
Forget it, Julia.
There's no sense
in trying to reason with greed.
-[camera flash booming]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
Dirk! Dirk!
Don't you even try it.
Into the bank.
Grab all the gold you can,
or I'll shoot you
where you stand.
[gulps]
[whispering] More for me.
-[camera flash booming]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
Good, now keep going.
We're gonna make it.
Hey, the rest of your gang
is already dead.
What are you
still doing this for?
Because all of this
is for nothing
if I don't end up getting
what we came here for.
Keep telling yourself that.
Just how long do you think
we can keep this up?
By another hour or so
the sun will be up,
we should be okay.
I know where
we can find some horses.
Just past the edge of town
to North side.
-[camera flash booming]
-[Tommyknockers growling]
Anywhere out of town
is fine by me.
[Betsy]
Hey, where are we?
I don't see any horses.
Is that
the Dry Diggins gold mine?
Yeah, it is.
You tricked me.
You brought me here
to give those creatures back
-their gold, didn't you?
-We sure did.
I'll shoot you two
right here, right now.
Then you got to carry
all that gold yourself.
I don't think
you'll get too far.
That's the only reason
you two are still alive.
And we intend
to stay that way.
-[camera flash booming]
-[Betsy cries out in pain]
You bitch!
[footsteps approaching]
-[Miss Swift gasps]
-You okay?
I can take it from here.
I'm not leaving you.
I've been all right
on my own.
[inhales sharply]
But you don't have to be.
I'm here.
Not going anywhere.
[gunshot firing]
Go, go.
[thrilling music]
[Tommyknockers growling]
This place is like a maze.
Here, take this.
[grunts]
-[Tommyknocker growling]
-[Fred] Go, go, go.
Go!
[Julia panting]
[Julia panting]
We have your gold.
We're bringing it back.
-[gun cocking]
-[Betsy] The hell you are.
You got any more
of that flash powder?
We used the last of it
-on you.
-Bet you regret that now.
Damn it, Betsy,
give them back the gold,
they'll let us
out of here.
-Give me that gold.
-You want it, go get it.
[gunshot fires]
[Betsy]
You want this?
Yeah? Well, choke on it!
[screaming]
Get out of here,
let's go.
[continues screaming]
Let's go. Go!
There's one.
[both panting]
I can't believe
we made it.
We gotta shut this down
for good.
Dynamite.
Go.
Come on, you son of a bitch!
Go.
[loud blast]
We did it.
I couldn't have done it
without you, Fred.
Well, actually, Julia,
it's James.
Fred is my middle name.
Well, it's nice
to officially meet you, James.
-[horse neighing]
-[both chuckling]
Huh.
-Wanna go for a ride?
-With you? Always.
[tranquil music playing]
[Lucky grunts]
Howdy.
-[Lucky snorting]
-It's your lucky day today.
Drinks are on the house.
What'll it be?
Whiskey.
What else?
Good choice.
[both laugh]
[laughing continues]
Each man to the devil
his own way.
Salut.
[Lucky sighs pleasurably]
