You don't say nothing

till you're spoken to.

There's something else.

I think maybe I shot a couple

of Yankees getting out of town.

Yankees!

What are you trying to do, boy?

Start the war all over again?

The Yankees don't count.

But the Hanleys do.

Does your pa

know about all this?

I expect he's heard

about it by now.

Joe,

go saddle a horse and go on over to Bonham

and tell old Jehovah

that Wes is with us.

John, that ain't a nice way

to talk about your brother.

Half-brother!

Pa don't have to know

where I am.

I expect he don't care.

I cut loose from him

before all this.

Joe, do as I say.

Keep off the roads.

There'll be patrols out looking for Wes.

Joe, when you see Jane,

tell her not to worry.

Tell her I'll be back for her

like I said.

You ain't going to Bonham,

not for a long time, unless it's in a box.

When I'm ready

I'm going back for Jane.

We got plans, Uncle John.

Don't matter about the

Hanleys or the Yankees or Pa.

Well, let the Yankees look for you.

Let them all look

'cause we won't be here.

We'll be trailing a herd to Abilene,

and you'll be with us.

So, you're ready

to make a drive?

We can be ready tomorrow morning.

Can't we, boys?

We can be ready sooner

than that if you say so, Pa.

Joe?

Sure, Pa, we'll be ready.

Good. Get back

as soon as you can.

Hey, Wes, what about Gus?

Did he draw first?

You beat him, huh?

Well, what do you think?

He's here, ain't he?

The fastest horse in Texas.

Yes, sir.

Howdy, Uncle John, Bart.

Hi.

Well, if it ain't old Wes Hardin

sitting out here big as life

with half of Texas

looking for him.

You're a real unpopular boy.

Got the three Hanley brothers

looking for him in one direction,

promising to shoot him on sight,

got half the Yankee Army looking

for him in the other direction,

making the same promise.

Hey, Zeke.

That's a real good-looking

pony you got.

Must have cost you plenty.

Nah, didn't cost me nothing.

That fool Yankee Major

down at the fort,

he confiscated this horse from

a ranch up near Nacogdoches

and all I done

was confiscate him back.

You mean you stole him?

Well, no, not exactly.

You see, the Major wanted to play a little

poker with old Zeke, so I obliged him.

He got more cards off the

bottom than he did off the top

and I got Rondo,

I said I got Rondo.

Hello, Zeke.

Oh, howdy, Joe.

Got the road brand

on the last of them, Pa.

We're ready to go

whenever you are.

Well, let's stop talking.

Take them to Abilene, boys.

Run them along, Gyp.

Jim, send one of the boys

back for the wagon.

That pony of Zeke's got a good rein.

Quick as a cat.

Well, here comes old Chick Noonan.

Wonder what he wants.

Probably looking for
