you're wrong.

It was just

like a nightmare.

You wouldn't believe it

if I told you.

My gang left me in the desert.

I felt like all the other

cowboys hated my guts.

Everyone was-- I just missed you.

I missed all of you.

[ All ] We missed you too, Roy.

I think it's

medication time.

Come here,

devil woman.

Oh. Mmm.

Oh !

Ooh, that's naughty.

Ohh. Ow, careful.

Careful with that.

Ow, ow. Careful.

Ow.

Ow. Aaaah !

[ Screaming ]

Holy crap ! The vultures are

eating my head!

Aaaah ! Aaaah !

Help ! Help !

My gang buried me !

They left me

for dead!

Ooh ! Ooh.

Oh, thank heavens.

I thought you were a mirage.

- Oh, come on. Water.

- You.

- You killed my uncle !

- Bull !

That was Wallace

all the way.

- He was one of your bandits.

- He wasn't part of my gang.

He was a new guy.

He's crazy as a road lizard.

- You deserve to die.

- Hold on a second.

You know what

no one's saying here ?

I had a chance to kill you

on that train, and I chose not to.

'Cause I'm not

a barbarian.

- Hey ! Where are you going ?

- Carson City.

I'm closer to diggin' myself to China

than you are to gettin' to Carson City.

- Hey !

- Which way ?

Hey, that's better.

Dig me out and I'll show you.

-[Vulture Squawks]

- Which way ?

You see the...

mountains over there ?

Carson City

is on the other side.

All right, dig me out.

I kept my end of the bargain.

- Dig me out.

-[Vulture Squawks]

Dig.

Hey ! Hey !

- Come on !

- Don't talk. Just dig.

[ Coughing ]

Aargh !

[ Muttering ]

[ Panting ]

[ Speaking Slowly ]

Where is Carson City ?

[ Laughing ]

[ Laughing, Coughing ]

[ Sniffs ]

[ Sighs ]

- [ Grunts ]

- [ All Cheering ]

[ Speaking Chinese ]

- How.

- How.

- How.

- How. How. How. How.

I thought

you might be hungry.

- [ Speaking Chinese ]

- [Dishes Clatter]

-You were wrong.

-You would find me a much better host...

if we could come to

some sort of an arrangement.

An arrangement ?

Like the one you have with the slaves

working on this railroad ?

These people

are free to leave.

What do you

want with me ?

Once I have the emperor's gold,

my work will be complete.

Princess.

I think it is time for you

to be among your people.

They don't look like any injuns

I ever seen, Jedediah.
