Billy The Kid (2022) s03e04 Episode Script

1
[BILLY] Previously on Billy the Kid.
- Ambush! Ambush! Tom!
- [CHARLIE] Tom!
Will someone tell my grandma
back in Texas of my death?
Yeah. Yeah, I will.
- Where's Tom?
- Garrett shot him in the chest.
[BILLY] What? We gotta go back for him.
No, Billy, he's gone.
- [PAT] We almost had him.
- Maybe.
- And next time
- Ain't gonna be a next time.
I'm done.
I need to see you.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
- [GUNSHOT]
- [GRUNTS]
What the fuck are you doin' here?
- [JESSE] Hello, Billy.
- Who else you with?
No one. I ain't riding with Garrett.
- [GRUNTS]
- Billy, I've changed.
[PAT] Billy the Kid has
always been my destiny.
[PAT] Billy, you're
getting pretty famous now.
[BILLY] That don't mean nothing to me.
If I was that famous,
it sure would mean something to me.
I heard you managed to kill
one of the Kid's friends.
Mm-hmm. It's a sign
that we're getting closer
to the Kid himself.
To help you, I personally raised
the reward for his capture
from $5,000 to $50,000.
Maybe you'll be the one
to claim it, Sheriff.
I don't wanna be a teacher anymore.
I think I know what you can do.
It's a big responsibility,
managing the House.
Pleasure to meet ya, Emily.
You are a very beautiful woman.
Don't, Sheriff. I wish you good night.
[BILLY] Garrett's probably
feelin' pretty full of himself
right about now.
We got to show him that we
can hit him where it hurts.
What in God's name happened here?
Billy paid us a visit.
And he had a friend with him.
[HORSE NEIGHING]
[BOB] Billy and Jesse together.
- [GUNFIRE]
- [SHOUTS]
They want to ride together,
they can die together.

- [HORSE NEIGHING]
[CHARLIE] Shit!
[TENSE MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
Shit.
[GRUNTS]
Ah.
[GROANING]
[HOOVES THUDDING]
- Hey, Charlie boy.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GUN COCKS]
[DISTANT HORSE NEIGHING]
[GUN CLICKS]
[HOOVES THUDDING]
Charlie.
Pat.
Sorry about all this.
I wanted us to meet up.
You see
I've always liked you, Charlie.
That's why I never
wanted to be in a position
where I had to shoot you
or see you being shot.
I got a letter for you.
It's been in my pocket a while now.
It's from Captain Joseph
C. Lea. Let me see that.
[GUN CLICKING]
Nice. He's in charge
now at Fort Stanton.
It promises you personally
that if you give up your thievin' ways
and dump your thievin' friends,
we will drop all the
charges against you,
giving you a chance to redeem yourself.
I didn't know the Army had
anything to do with this.
I thought you were the law.
- [BOB SIGHS]
- I am, Charlie.
But I wanted back-up.
And Captain Lea was happy to provide it.
Look,
all we want
is peace to be restored in Lincoln.
That's all we want.
I will sever my relationship
with Billy and the others.
I've had enough of all of this.
I have a wife and a child
to support and a farm to run.
That's my only ambition.
Tell the captain I'm grateful.
I will.
And I'll take your word for it, Charlie.
I believe that you're an honest man.
[SOFT TENSE MUSIC]
Let me remind you
that if you fail to quit or surrender,
you are sure to be captured and killed.
We're on the trail, Charlie.
And we ain't gonna
sleep until we find 'em.
Until we get 'em, dead
or alive. You understand?
Am I free to go?
For now.
[HORSE SNORTS]
Hurry up before I shoot ya!
[CHARLIE] Come on. Let's go.
[BOB] You want me to follow him?
No. No.
I gave him my word.
[THEME MUSIC]
[CATRON] Ladies and gentlemen,
in my new role as governor of
the territory of New Mexico,
my aim is simply to make
our territory wealthier,
more productive, and more peaceful
than it has ever been before.
[CHEERING]
[CATRON] I am inviting bids
by the railroad companies
to build more lines through
the entire territory,
north to south and east to west.
The railroad will
transform this territory.
- Yeah!
- [CHEERING]
[CATRON] That's right.
[MAN] That's right. That's right.
But in Lincoln County,
we still have a problem.
It's a problem of law and order.
The Lincoln County
War, as it was called,
may be over, but there's
still bands of outlaws
and criminals out there,
threatening the lives
of ordinary citizens.
I don't need to remind
you who is the leader
of the worst, most vicious,
most depraved gang of all.
He's known as Billy the Kid,
and I will no longer
tolerate the way he flaunts
his misdeeds and murders.
As governor, I make you this promise.
With the help of Sheriff Garrett,
Billy the Kid will be
caught and brought to trial.
Then we can all sleep better in our beds
and thank God that good
has triumphed over evil.
[CHEERING LOUDLY]
[CATRON] Thank you very much.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[FLASH POPS]
Oh. One more. One more. Emily!
Emily, come here.
Come here, darlin'.
Big smile for the camera.
Big smile.
[FLASH POPS]
- [CROWD CHEERING]
- [WHISTLING]
[CATRON] Thank you for comin'.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
[HORSE SNORTS]
[SIGHING]
Charlie, this-this
pardon they offered you
are you considering it?
I don't believe Garrett or
this letter from Captain Lea,
whoever he is.
If I give up, they'll surely kill me
one way or another.
[GEORGE] Yeah, there's a lot
of heat on us right now, boys.
What they wrote about us
in the Lincoln Mercury.
"Lincoln County is dealing with
a bunch of hardened criminals."
[CHUCKLING] "A gang of
some 40 or 50 shooters."
- [ALL CHUCKLING]
- Forty or 50!
- That'd be nice.
- [BILLY] I wish.
[GEORGE] Yeah. "The gang is under
the leadership of Billy the Kid,
a desperate cuss,
who is eligible for the
post of captain of any crowd,
no matter how mean or lawless"
- [CHARLIE] The papers always lie!
- Yeah, despite that,
I think we should probably
light out for a while.
Go where, exactly?
There's an old cattle trail I know.
About 60 miles from here.
It goes all the way across the plains
to the Texas Panhandle.
- Hmm.
- It's on sacred Indian ground,
so the ranchers leave it alone.
Perfect for cattle rustling.
I say we get ourselves a herd
and we drive them all the way to Texas.
We do need the money.
And how long is it gonna take?
More or less a month
or so, there and back.
Maybe enough time for Garrett
to think we're gone for good.
I'm coming with you.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Why not? I can still ride.
All right then. That settles it.
Texas tomorrow.
[TENSE FOLK MUSIC]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
- [HORSES NEIGHING]
[BILLY] Yep!
- Woo!
- [JESSE] Hey, hey.
- [BILLY CLICKING TONGUE]
- You got 'em?
- I got 'em.
- [JESSE] Yep, yep.
[JESSE] Come on!
Come on, boys!
Would you hurry up?
What the fuck is going on over here?
Get on in there. Come on, hurry up!
Come on.
Amigos.
All right.
[SIGHING]
You have been selected by my deputies
to join us on the hunt for the outlaw,
the asesino, Billy the Kid.
[GARCIA TRANSLATING IN SPANISH]
Now, we know that Billy the Kid has
killed a lot of people, all right?
A lot of good people
and a lot of good Mexicanos.
[GARCIA TRANSLATING]
There's a big lie
that Billy the Kid supports Mexicans.
Don't you believe it.
Billy the Kid only cares about himself.
[GARCIA TRANSLATING]
Now, my amigo here tells me
that a lot of you are
hunters and trappers, right?
So you all know these hills
and you know these valleys.
We're paying you for
your eyes and your ears.
Go out there
and you hunt down Billy the Kid.
You tell us where he's holed up at,
and we'll take care of the rest.
[IN SPANISH] ¿Comprende?
[GARCIA TRANSLATING]
- [PAT] ¿Sí?
- [MURMURING IN AGREEMENT]
Good. Get to work.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
[BOB] Come on.
[BOB, IN SPANISH] ¡Vámonos! ¡Vámonos!
Sheriff.
- I wanna apologize.
- For what?
For my behavior the other evening.
I was, uh, a little too forward.
Oh, I've already forgotten all about it.
No. I really am sorry.
It was out of character.
And, uh, I hope you can forgive me.
Of course I can.
Do you mind if I ask
you about something?
It's to do with your work.
I guess you've heard about my husband?
Your father told me. Yeah. I'm sorry.
Well, I'm not sure about what happened.
- What do you mean?
- I haven't heard any details
about the circumstances
of Edgar's death.
At least I wasn't told
about any investigation.
Miss Emily, if I may.
Are you sure you wanna know?
Frankly, yes.
You see, Edgar had no
reason to take his own life.
The evening before he
died, we'd been talking
about leaving Santa Fe to
start a new life somewhere else.
I just lost a baby,
so it was me who was miserable.
Edgar tried to cheer
me up, as he always did.
That's why I find it
difficult to believe
That he took his own life.
Is there anyone you think might have
might have wanted to kill him?
I-I don't know.
Okay.
I mean, did he have any enemies?
I'm not sure.
I just wanted someone to look
into it, for Edgar's sake.
But I'd never want to burden my father
with something like this.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I understand.
Look, I'll do what I can.
There must be a-a report somewhere.
I'll, uh I'll look into it quietly.
Thank you, Pat.
No. I really do wanna help you.
Okay?
It's important.
I'll be in touch.
[MEN CATTLE CALLING]
[BILLY] Come on. Yep.
Come on. Git! Yep. Yep. Yep.
- [MAN] Come on!
- [JESSE] Let's go, let's go.
[MEN CATTLE CALLING]
[WHISTLING]
Oh, my God.
Is there anywhere you ain't wanted?
[EXHALES]
They ain't takin' me alive,
I can tell you that much.
[JESSE CHUCKLES]
[MAN] Woo!
[GEORGE] Here's to a
job well done, boys.
I like this place. The whiskey's good.
Oh, it's good.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[MEN CHEERING]
Hey, boys, I just gotta ask,
and, uh, I don't mean
no disrespect, but
do y'all think Billy
knows what he's doing?
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
I just mean that we are
about to go ridin' back
into a real dangerous situation.
We all know why Billy's
stayin' in Lincoln County.
Yeah, and it's his quarrel, not ours.
- Is that right?
- Hey!
- [JESSE] Whoa, whoa.
- Is that right?
- Is that what you think?
- [MAN] Hey!
- [JESSE] Hey!
- [MAN] Hey!
- What you talking about?
- [JESSE] Hey.
Hey, Brown. I wanna hear him out.
Please, why don't you just tell us
why the fuck you are here, then.
I'm just sayin'
we all lived through the war.
I knew people who got killed.
I know exactly how bad the House was.
And I believe in Billy.
I just don't wanna
ride straight into hell.
[HONKY-TONK PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
It is what it is, Brown.
[CHARLIE] Yeah.
Let's play some poker. Okay?
- Yeah, no, that's a good idea.
- [GEORGE] And drink.
Let's take all your money again.
Whiskey. Thanks.
[SIGHING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[HONKY-TONK PIANO MUSIC CONTINUES]
[PANTING HEAVILY]
Can't we just stay here?
[LAUGHING]
You really like Texas, huh?
No. Just here.
Oh, here.
Yeah, I wish.
Where are we going next?
Hey. Hey.
It's okay.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know where we should go.
Or what we should do.
[SOFT MUSIC]
[SIGHING]
All I know is whatever choice I make,
somebody close to me
ends up payin' the price.
Hey.
[MOANING]
Jesse.
Ah, fuck.
[PANTING]
Jesse.
[EERIE MUSIC]
Ah!
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
[WOMAN] Are you okay?
[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]
[INHALING SHARPLY]
[SOFT TENSE MUSIC]
One day? Less than a
day? Less than a day?
[PAT] Olinger!
Olinger,
tell me you got something for me.
It's definitely a camp.
Got a dead cow.
The Kid and his gang,
they must have passed
right through here.
How do they know that it's Billy?
They don't. Not for sure.
But Billy used to use
this trail to bring cattle
and horses in and out.
Where does the trail lead?
It's an old Indian
trail passes between, uh,
Texas Panhandle and Fort Sumner.
Maybe he's still holed
up at Fort Sumner.
Maybe.
If it is Billy, they
say how far away he is?
They said less than a day.
All right. Hey!
- [CLAPPING HANDS]
- ¡Vámonos!
- Let's go!
- Hey, you heard the man.
Let's go! Come on! Hurry up.
[BILLY] Hey. Oh Here, let me.
- No, I got it.
- Here. I got it.
- I could have done that myself.
- I know. It's just
- You don't think I can manage.
- No. It ain't that.
I'm just a little concerned, is all.
And I've been thinkin' I don't know
if we should all head back
to Fort Sumner right away.
- You know I can handle myself.
- I know you can.
But it ain't you they're
looking for. It's me.
No, I told you I'm not
leaving without a fight.
Hey, we gotta think for two of you now.
Okay?
It's only for a little while.
All right, listen, y'all.
Slight change of plans.
We're gonna split up.
Juan's gonna take Dulcinea
back to Fort Sumner.
The rest of us are
gonna stay on the road
just a little while longer
to make sure we're not being tailed.
There's a place I know not far from here
and we can sleep there for the night.
- What place?
- It's called Stinking Springs.
Oh
That sounds real nice.
Yeah, it ain't much. It's
just an old shepherd's hut.
It's been abandoned for a
while. We'll be safe there.
Juan, you take care of her, all right?
She's strugglin', but
she won't admit it.
Of course I will.
And, Billy, you take care
of yourself, my friend.
You know I'll do my best.
Hey.
I'll come and get you soon.
One day you might not be able to, Billy.
[SOFT TENSE MUSIC]
[TENSE MUSIC]
[HORSE HUFFING]
[HORSE HUFFING]
[SOFT TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
- Just like I imagined it'd be.
- [BILLY CHUCKLES]
It's real cozy.
Get some firewood, some blankets.
It'll do for the night.
You find anything?
They aren't going to Fort Sumner.
- You sure it's Billy?
- They turned off the trail.
The tracks went east.
Where'd you think they're going?
There's not much out
there. It's a wasteland.
But there's a place
called Stinking Springs.
There's an old house
there, all on its own.
Take me to the house.
No problem, Sheriff. Follow me.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Whoa, whoa.
[HUNTER] There it is,
Sheriff, Stinking Springs.
[PAT] Good work. Dismount.
I believe Billy the
Kid is inside that house
just ahead of us.
We'll move in quiet
and take up positions.
We wait there till
dawn. Do you understand?
Why don't we just attack 'em now?
You wanna get into a gunfight,
in a small house,
with two of the best
shots in the fuckin' world?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
I got more respect for Billy than that.
Y'all should too if you
wanna live till tomorrow.
Right now, we hold all the cards.
They don't know we're comin'.
The signal to shoot
is when I fire first.
You understand?
- Do you understand?
- Yeah, I got you.
[FIRE CRACKLING]
[MAN COUGHING]
Good night, boys.
Tomorrow's a new day.
We'll be back home before you know it.
[EXHALING]

[CHARLIE GROANING]
Fuck. Okay, switch.
[PANTING]
- Is it bad?
- No, Charlie, it ain't so bad.
We're gonna get you
outta here, all right?
We're gonna get you out.
I'm a dead man.
No.
No, Charlie. You're good.
You just mortally
wounded Charlie Bowdre.
He can come out with his hands up!
He ain't goin' out there.
You're not going out there. You'll die.
It's too late, Billy.
It can't be for nothing.
[CHARLIE PANTING]
- No.
- Billy.
[PANTING HEAVILY]
You gotta let me go.
I'm ready.
[CHARLIE GROANS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Whoa, whoa.
What the hell are you doing?
I'm getting us out of here!
How, man?
You're gonna jump over the horse?
- Yeah, something like that.
- [JESSE] Well, that's a
that's a great idea.
I'll tell ya exactly
how that's gonna go, Kid.
It's not gonna fucking work!
The ceiling's too low. You'll
crack your fucking skull.
Ah, shit. Yeah, you're right.
Just help me get these

You gotta come out now, Billy!
You got no choice! You
might as well surrender!
[BROWN] He's right,
Billy. We gotta surrender!
Well, you just ain't cut
out for this, are you, Brown?
We're outta options, boys.
No, we just gotta hold
out a little bit longer.
Just until tonight.
If they're so confident,
why haven't they
attacked this position yet?
They don't have to, Billy.
We have to surrender.
She's done. There is no escape.
I told you, no one's takin' me alive.
Maybe you didn't hear me.
Let's see hands. Who wants to surrender?
[BROWN STAMMERING]
Yeah. Let's put it to a vote.
You're a fucking coward!
You're a fucking coward, Brown.
- [JESSE] Billy!
- [GUN CLICKS]
[JESSE] Billy!
We're done here, all right? You lost.
Billy, it's over.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[BROWN] Okay. It's all right.
[PANTING]
[JESSE] Get the fuck
outta here. Come on.
Okay.
We surrender!
Thought you might!
Come on out with your hands up!
You do that nice and slow,
no one's gonna get hurt!
You have my word!
You believe him?
He ain't gonna let us out of here alive.
He wants us dead. It's
easier for him that way.
I don't think so. He
shoots us in cold blood,
someone in the posse's
gonna tell somebody.
He doesn't want that kind of reputation.
Think about it.
I ain't being fuckin' taken alive.
[GUNFIRE]
You go out there with a gun,
you will be gunned down.
Why do you wanna die like that, Billy?
Staying alive is the
only way you can escape.
You ain't invincible.
[GRUNTS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I'm going out there.
No need for nerves,
Garrett! We're coming out!
[PAT] No weapons! Keep those hands up!
No tricks.
Hands up high, Jesse.
Hands up!
Go get 'em.
Go get 'em, boys.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[PAT] Good.
Georgie, come on.
We're gonna find a way.
George, I wanna see
your hands! Both hands!
