Billy The Kid (2022) s03e05 Episode Script

1
[BILLY] Previously, on Billy the Kid.
[THOMAS] 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.
[CROWD SHOUTING]
[REPORTER] Mr. Catron! Mr. Catron!
[PAT] If you fail to quit or surrender,
you are sure to be hunted down.
And we ain't gonna
sleep until we find him.
Until we get him, dead or alive.
[EMILY] Is it true that Billy
the Kid was a friend of yours?
Yes, it is.
What was he like?
Where are we going next?
I don't know where we should go.
All I know is whatever choice I make,
somebody close to me
ends up payin' the price.
You're a liar.
Emily, Walz hanged himself
because of his character weakness.
I don't believe it.
He didn't hang himself.
He was murdered. Edgar had no
reason to take his own life.
I mean, did he have any enemies?
I'm not sure.
I just wanted someone to look into it,
for Edgar's sake.
- I'll look into it quietly.
- Thank you, Pat.
I don't know if we should all head back
to Fort Sumner right away.
I told you I'm not
leavin' without a fight.
We gotta think for two of you now.
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.
[PAT] I believe Billy the Kid is
inside that house just ahead of us.
The signal to shoot
is when I fire first.
- [GUNSHOT]
- [BILLY GRUNTS]
Charlie! Get inside.
Come on out!
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Both hands!
- [GUNSHOT]
- Ah!
We're done here. You lost.
Come on out with your hands up.
[BOB] I'ma kill the son of a bitch.
[GUN CLICKING]
You shoot that gun, Olinger,
you're a dead man.
I knew this day would come.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[JUDGE BRISTOL] William H. Bonney,
you have been found guilty of murdering
Sheriff William Brady of Lincoln County
and are therefore sentenced to death.
I order that you will
be transported to Lincoln
in the custody of Sheriff Pat Garrett
and will remain in the
care of Sheriff Garrett
until the Sheriff will
conduct a public hanging.
Does the defendant have anything
to say on his own behalf?
Nothin' I could say that
would change anything now.
- [GAVEL BANGING]
- Clear the court.
[THEME MUSIC]
[MEN CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]
[MEN CALLING TO HORSES]
Strange to be on the road
with you again, Billy.
You just never know
what the future holds.
Yeah.
I have a few of my own ideas about that.
Care to share?
Nah.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[WHEEL SQUEAKING]
They really ought to
fix that squeaky wheel.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[WOMEN WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]
[MEN CALLING TO HORSES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING]
[CROWD MURMURING]
[GUARD] Step out.
[CROWD WHISPERING]
[CROWD CONTINUES MURMURING]
[PAT] All right, folks,
show's over. Get a move on.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[CHAINS CLINKING]
Sit down.
You see that chain down there,
I need you to run it through that hoop
and pass it over to me.
[PAT] Good man. Now, I
have some important business
to attend to. I have to ride to Santa Fe
to collect your death
warrant from the governor.
So, I've assigned two
guards to look after you:
James Bell and Bob Olinger.
- Olinger.
- Mm-hmm.
I have to use for deputies
such material as I can get.
[BILLY SIGHS]
[PAT] They'll be no leavin' this cell.
You'll have to take your meals in here.
I've told Bob and Bell
that if you so much as try to escape,
they have my permission to shoot ya.
[PAT] I'll be back
before you know it, Billy.
Behave yourself.
[SIGHS]
Well, gentlemen.
The deed
is done.
In just two days' time,
we shall drink to the death
of that precious specimen,
Billy the fuckin' Kid.
[MAN COUGHING]
[MESILLA GUARD] Come on, get up.
[JUDGE BRISTOL] It appears
there is no active warrant
for the arrest of any of you.
Therefore, no criminal charges
can be laid against you.
In the circumstance, I have no option
but to order your release,
however much I may
regret having to do so.
I suggest you leave this
town as soon as you can.
We really don't want types
like you anywhere near here.
Dismissed.
Woo!
[BOB] Well, if it isn't
the famous Billy the Kid.
Hello, Olinger.
Oh, and James.
Nice to see you again.
[JAMES] And you.
I'm taking the other
prisoners across the street
for some food.
I'll bring you back a plate.
Very kind. Thank you. I am hungry.
[GATE CLOSING]
So, I guess you're
gonna try to escape, huh?
Why would I try and
do something like that?
C'mon
I wouldn't wanna give
you the satisfaction.
[CHUCKLING]
Seeing you hanged,
that's all the satisfaction
I need, believe me.
[BILLY] You know,
Garrett once told me, Bob,
that he thought you were
born a murderer at heart.
I think you were just born a coward.
Then again, maybe you're both.
I'm gonna enjoy watching you hang.
[WHISTLING OMINOUSLY]
[MEN CALLING TO HORSES]
[GEORGE] What is it, Jesse?
[JESSE] I'm not going back to Lincoln.
There's nothing there for me.
I'm going to Silver City.
I still got friends out there.
What about Billy?
There's no way we can help him.
And there's no way I'm
gonna watch him die.
[HORSE SNORTS]
No. Me neither.
[JESSE] It's over.
It's time to say goodbye.
Take care of yourself, Jesse.
I'll try.
No promises.
[SIGHS]
[CLICKING TONGUE] Come on.
Yup, yup, yup!
Yup, yup!
You always want to be a lawman, Bell?
Nope.
Before that, I tried
my luck at gold mining
up in White Oaks.
But it turns out I don't have any luck.
I'd say being a deputy marshal
is a pretty unlucky
profession, wouldn't you?
[LAUGHING]
Yeah, you might be right about that.
But then again, the
income is more reliable.
I hear ya there.
My income always was
somewhat unreliable.
[SIGHING]
[SIGHING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Pity you won't have the
chance to spend that!
Bob
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
What the hell are you doin'?
[SIGHING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Whoa, now.
- Thank you.
- My pleasure, ma'am.
Well, here's to your success,
my darling. Thank you.
You've transformed the House.
The business is thriving.
I'm so very proud.
I'm glad.
I'm enjoying the challenge.
You know, I heard that Sheriff Garrett
has been asking questions
about Edgar's death.
- Has he?
- He's telling people maybe
it wasn't suicide.
You been talking to him?
No.
I bear some of the responsibility.
I told him I was planning on firin' him.
[THOMAS] I am sorry for that.
But I have my doubts about Garrett.
I think our Sheriff is
a very ambitious man.
Gotta keep my eye on him.
He's just about to hang Billy the Kid.
[CHUCKLES] Just imagine!
Are you going to watch?
You bet I am! I'll be
sitting in the front row.
Why do you take it so personally?
What has Billy the Kid ever done to you?
Everything! He's Irish.
He's not an American. He
doesn't share our values.
He's a thief, a killer,
and he has absolutely no conscience.
We need to get rid of
people like Billy the Kid,
so that good people,
people like you and me, Emily,
can build our country.
I'm sure you understand.
But I would say
that the Irish have as much
right to live in this country,
as have German, Polish,
Mexicans all of them.
This country is made up of
people from all over the world.
We've invited them to come here.
We Americans, I assure you,
are a very different people.
We believe in hard work, family,
and we've been given a
special destiny by God
to make this country
greater than any other.
So don't talk to me about
outlaws and murderers.
Our God does not want them to prosper.
Well, I didn't know, Father,
that you could speak for God.
[BILLY] What time is it?
- It's around six.
- [BILLY] Hmm.
Bell! I'm taking the other
prisoners across the road.
[JAMES] Okay.
You gonna have to wait.
I can wait.
[GATE OPENING]
[BOB] Let's go. C'mon.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Evenin', Bob. The usual?
What do you think?
I'll tell the cook.
And a whiskey!
[SAM] Comin' up, Bob.
[GRUNTS]
Hey, Bell
Would you mind taking me to the privy?
Thank you.
[SIGHING]
[GRUNTING]
[PAINED SHOUTING]
No! No! Don't fuckin' move!
I'm just gonna lock
you up now, all right?
Just for a little bit.
Hey, don't move, Bell.
I really don't want to hurt you.
Bell, stop!
- [GUNSHOT]
- [BILLY] Oh, shit!
What the hell was that?
Shit.
[GUNSHOT IN THE DISTANCE]
Don't move.
[PANTING]
Fuck.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GUNSHOT]
Ahh!
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
- [GUNSHOT]
- [BILLY PANTING]
[GUNFIRE]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GUNFIRE] [GLASS BREAKING]
[GUN CLICKING]
Hello, Bob.
- [GUNSHOT]
- Ahh!
[CRASHING]
[GRUNTS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[MAN] It's Billy.
[INDISTINCT WHISPERING]
Hey, Gauss. Go get me something
to break outta these chains.
Will do, Billy.
[BILLY] I am fighting for my life here.
I didn't want to kill anyone,
but if anyone crosses me
and gets in the way of
me escaping, they die.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Here. Go to the livery
and get me a horse.
[GRUNTING]
[BILLY LAUGHING]
Ooh!
[SIGHING]
[GRUNTS]
Yeah!
[LAUGHING]
[EPIC MUSIC]
Thank you.
[HORSE NEIGHING]
So long, Sam.
Take care, Billy.
[CROWD CHEERING HAPPILY IN SPANISH]
[MANUELA SPEAKING SPANISH]
[LAUGHING]
[GASPING]
[SOFT MUSIC]
I escaped.
Of course you did.
[GASPING]
Come here.
[LAUGHING]
- Is everything all right?
- Yes.
Good.
You been holding up okay?
We're better now for seeing you, Billy.
It's all right. It's okay. I'm here now.
- Yeah.
- I'm alive. I'm all right.
[CLANKING]
Woo!
All right. Thank you.
[PATRON] Let's get you
some coffee, my friend.
[EPIC MUSIC]
[THOMAS] "It was as bold
a deed as those versed
in the annals of crime can recall.
It surpasses anything
that the Kid has ever
been guilty of so far
that his past offenses lose
much of their heinousness
in comparison with it.
Never before has he
faced death so boldly
or run such a great
risk in the perpetration
of his bloody deeds."
Where the fuck is Sheriff Garrett?
On his way back from White Oaks.
I want to see him the
moment he rides into Lincoln.
He's got a lot to answer for.
- [SIGHING]
- What is it? Show me.
Mm
"The news is terrible,
and the Kid is free
with his threats of
murder thick in the air.
He said, I understand,
that he wanted to live
he wanted to live long
enough to kill Governor Catron,
or as he put it, 'that damned
son of a bitch, Catron'.
From now on, Governor
Catron cannot be too vigilant
on his guard." You think it's true?
[MILT] I don't know.
They are saying all kinds
of things about the Kid now.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
I freely accept that
I am partly to blame
for what happened.
Partly?
Bell and Olinger were
given explicit instructions
which they did not follow.
They died due to their own carelessness.
What do you intend to do now?
I will once again take up Billy's trail.
[THOMAS] And you think
you can find him again?
Yes, sir. I do.
I was looking forward
to seeing Billy hang.
I cannot absolve you
of blame for his escape.
You have one month to
find and kill the Kid.
After that, I will requisition
your badge. You understand me?
I only employ people
who can do their job.
Yes, sir.
Folks
Two terrible murders
have just been committed
here in this town.
Two of my deputies
were shot dead
by the criminal and outlaw
Billy the Kid.
Who also murdered Sheriff Brady
on this very street.
Now I am asking you men here
to volunteer as my deputies.
Together, we will save this town
and make your families safe again.
[INDISTINCT MURMURING]
[MAN COUGHING]
And if you do volunteer,
you will share in the
substantial reward.
Now, who's in?
Yeah. I'm in.
Good man.
[MAN] I'll go.
Good men.
[MAN 2] All right, I'm in.
[MEN CALLING TO HORSES]
[HOOVES THUDDING] [HORSES NEIGHING]
They're coming!
[HOOVES STOMPING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[BILLY] Garrett's on the warpath.
He and his posse just rode
right through Fort Sumner.
I'm gonna be on the move,
hunting him just as
surely as he hunts me.
I'll be his shadow.
And I think we should use George's place
as a meeting point.
[SIGHS]
Billy, you're gonna
You're gonna lead him
right to my doorstep.
You can't stay here anymore.
You gotta find another place.
How about Pete Maxwell's?
All right.
You know Pete's place is pretty safe.
Yeah.
- [GUNFIRE]
- Whoa, whoa.
[MILT] Miss Emily.
Don't worry, Miss. Mr.
Catron is just practicing.
For what?
[GUNFIRE]
Father!
What are you doing?
Forewarned is forearmed.
Warned of what?
Apparently, Billy the
Kid has sworn to kill me.
- To kill you?
- [THOMAS] So I've read.
I had a visit with the Sheriff.
And?
He made excuses for his failure.
He swore he was gonna
pick up the Kid's trail,
hunt him down, and kill him.
I gave him a month to do it.
That doesn't sound like a long time.
It's not. But Billy the
Kid has threatened vengeance
against a lot of people, not just me.
He needs to be stopped, and quickly.
How about you?
What about me?
Well, has the Sheriff visited you
since his return to Lincoln?
No.
Why would he?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe to
fill you in on his enquiries
about Edgar.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GUNFIRE]
[ORCHESTRAL MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Put your hands up!
Up against the wall!
Up against the wall!
Fuck
Fuck, he ain't here!
Yeah, that's Billy's horse.
Hey! Where is he?
[FARMER] Who?
The Kid. Billy the Kid. Where is he?
I heard of Billy the Kid.
But I ain't ever met
him! He he ain't here.
That gray is the horse that he escaped
from the Lincoln courthouse
on. So, why is it here? Huh?
I had a horse stolen and
I found that one there
when I went out to track it down.
- Where were you headed?
- Fort Sumner.
Let's go, boys.
[HORSES NEIGHING]
Yah, yah, come on!
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[HORSE NEIGHING]
[SHOUTING IN SPANISH]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
Hands on the table! Hands on the table!
[PATRON] What do you want?
You know what I want.
He's not here. I don't know where he is.
Mm [SNIFFS]
Get them outta here.
[MEN GRUNTING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER IN SPANISH]
[HORSE NEIGHING]
[SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING IN SPANISH]
Yah!
[GRUNTS] No, señor.
[PAT] Mm, yes, you are.
I know you know where he is.
You're gonna tell me now!
[PRAYING SOFTLY IN SPANISH]
I found her.
[PAT EXHALING DEEPLY]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[DOOR CLOSING]
Yah! Let's go!
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
You can leave us alone.
That Billy's, is it?
Yeah
Where is he?
He's been here recently, hasn't he?
Hmm [SNIFFS]
Well, you're gonna have to tell me.
Otherwise, I'll arrest
you for being a
[SNIFFS] accessory.
So?
Where is he?
Where is he?!
[DULCINEA GASPING]
[SIGHING]
[HORSE SNORTING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER IN SPANISH]
- Garrett came looking for you,
but they found Dulcinea!
[EXCLAIMING FIRMLY]
- [DOOR OPENING]
- [BILLY] You okay?
Yeah. Garrett just wanted
to know where you were.
I I didn't tell him anything.
He hit you?
Oh!
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I'm okay.
I'm here because I want to be here.
We're gonna be together.
I am so sorry.
[SIGHING]
This won't happen again.
[INSECTS CHIRPING]
[PAT] Yah, yah! Whoa
[MEN CALLING TO HORSES]
[HORSE NEIGHING]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[SNIFFS]
- Is Pete around?
- He went to bed.
We need to search the house
and the whole property.
[SAVAL] What for?
I believe Billy the Kid
might be hiding here.
No one is hiding here, sir.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[PAT] Well, we're just gonna
have to search the place anyway.
Pete, come on out!
What the hell is this?
Sheriff Garrett.
I have every reason to suppose
that you are sheltering
a wanted criminal.
- Again, Sheriff?
- Mm-hmm.
You have no reason.
Searching for Billy
is drivin' you crazy.
Next thing you know, you'll
be demolishing my house
to try to find him.
Well, I know he's somewhere
around Fort Sumner.
And, believe me, I'm going to find him.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Find anything, Sheriff?

[GUN COCKING]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
sorry that I put your family
in danger. I shouldn't have done that.
It won't happen again.
We'll leave you alone.
- Okay.
- But I need you to tell me
the truth, what did you say to Garrett?
I said nothing.
Pete, we're old friends,
right? We're family.
You bet we are.
So I need to know, did
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
- [GUNFIRE]
- Ahh!
