All right! Turn it! Turn it!

Be gentle. Easy now.

Oh, yes, indeed.

And let us keep it this

clean all the time. Yes?

Thank you. You may leave.

Well, first you bust the

wheel on your wagon,

naturally, you forgot to

bring a spare.

So you sit out on your horse,

you and your brother,

and then your horse dies.

A rattlesnake, colic,

black water, lightning.

Jesus Christ, Ward, you got some bad luck.

I suspect it just gets worse from here.

Yeah, I reckon it does.

How are you? How are

we all? Good day.

Morning.

Mr. Ramirez.

It's a pleasure to see that you and Sarah have

finally accepted our invitation to pray with us.

Oh, we're not here for the service.

May I speak with you for a moment?

Well, I...

I suppose so. For a moment.

It's regarding your sheep.

My sheep?

They strayed on to our

land again and ate our crops.

That's a pretty bold accusation, sir.

How do you know they were my sheep?

I don't want to start a conflict here,

Mr. Josiah, but this is the second time...

I just asked you, did you speak to

these fleece strays?

Did you ask them from whence they came?

Who may be their shepherd?

- Who else's stock would they be?

- I don't know, I didn't see them.

You're our only neighbor for miles.

Is that it? Because, as you can see,

I have a congregation waiting for me.

I'd appreciate you keeping

your stock off my property, sir.

- It is the Lord's property, Seor Ramirez.

- But it's mine, too.

And I cannot afford

to lose anymore of my crops.

- You could build a fence.

- A fence?

Why don't you come inside with your wife

and feel for yourself

the searing power of the

veracity of the Lord?

Another day, perhaps.

I will ask Him about this fence.

I'm curious as to his response.

I'd appreciate that, sir.

May the Lord be with you.

safe in the arms of Jesus,

Safe on His gentle breast,

There by His love o'ershaded,

sweetly my soul shall rest.

- Stay inside.

- I'm coming with you.

Jack.

Ya know, a dog killin' ain't a crime

I'm obliged to pursue.

People killin', that's a different story.

We bought it, it was our property.

- I can sell you a new dog.

- You stay out of this.

- When did this occur?

- Last night.

Mr. Josiah had some

sheep stolen a while back.

Rustlers have been active

in the area as of late.

Could be more of their kind.

Rustlers?

- That killed our dog?

- So, you saw who done it?

Not entirely, it was dark.

- Then, how do you know?

- The law needs to make someone accountable.

Do I look like a dog killer catcher?

- You're the law.

- That I am. There ain't no more be said.

- That's it? That your investigation?

- Yep!

Get that stinkin' cur outta my office!

- No, you're going to do something.
