leave tracks that'll last for days.

You hear me ask your opinion, boy?

'Cause I didn't.

Ain't no boys in here, speculator.

I wasn't speculating on you.

I wouldn't have no use for you.

None at all.

I don't see any pine trees

for you to hide behind up in here.

I'll knock those eyes

straight in your head.

Shut up, the both of you.

I wonder how they got up in there.

There ain't no ladder.

This place is gonna

turn me into a little girl.

Well, if there was anyone here,

they're long gone by now.

Come on.

...ante up over there.

That's it.

I swear...

They said there were

some beds upstairs.

I'm gonna go lie down for a while.

What is it now?

Three...

Another three.

My bet.

Joseph, come on now, boy.

Do you remember the hospital

where we first met?

First time we talked after you woke up?

And you, me, Jeffy Hollister...

And he told us about this place.

Did he ever say anything about

the folks that he inherited it from?

Yeah, some great-uncle or something.

Had he ever been out here?

I don't think he had.

-Carried around all those maps.

-Mm...

It was awful watching him go.

He called me "Belle."

I wanted you the first time I saw you.

Annabelle...

I think I killed a kid in town today.

Did you see it?

I'm out. I'm done.

Wise decision, nance.

Wiser than our friend here

who'll lose his share of the gold

before he gets to count it.

You know, Clyde,

you'd be a lot better at bluffing

if you played it down a bit.

See your three.

I'm up five.

Hell, I best get these horses in...

...before that storm hits.

You do that.

I bet you're as tired as I am.

It's been a rough day, hasn't it, boys?

Nothin' to worry about,

now you're in here.

Storm ain't gonna hurt you none.

You did good today, Passion.

I'm gonna get you all fed

and watered now.

I guess you don't need this.

I do.

Be right back.

Please, help me!

Is somebody down there?

Please, mister. Hurry!

Let me out of here!

-Can't see you.

-My daddy threw me in here!

Well, hell!

My Lord!

-I'll throw a bucket down to you.

-Hurry!

Damn!

Hurry! I'm cold!

Just grab hold on it.

-I'm gonna pull you up out of there.

-Hurry!

You got it?

All right. Grab hold, both hands.

Come on.

Well, damn!

Hurry!

Damn! What...?

You OK there, Sam?

I don't know...

This thing is itching me.

It means it's healin'.

I guess so.

How long do you think

Joseph's been gone?

Belle...

I'll be back for you, Jeffy.

Isn't she beautiful?

I think she's the most

beautiful girl I've ever seen.

As soon as I heal up and get out of here,

we're going to get married.

She told me so.

Bastard...

Bastard!

-What is it?

-Joseph's gone.

-What do you mean, he's gone?
