No. This is full of newly-minted coins.
Ain't that mighty careless
carrying around a fortune in an old bag?
No, it's safer. That's why we never tell you
where we hide the gold every trip.
- And we fooled them again.
- Yes, sir.
Never tell me where you put the gold.
What I don't know,
nobody can squeeze it out of me.
Mister.
I feel bad about spooking your horse.
Maybe I could buy you
a drink or something to fix it?
- Not just now, thanks.
- You're a stranger around here.
- My name is Jake. Jake Hooper.
- Is it?
How do like this town?
- Kind of wild.
- No. This is tame. Only one killing last week.
Not too bad.
That ain't good.
They moved the state capital out today.
- Ain't no place for an honest man now.
- Then why do you stay here?
It's comforting to know you live in
a town that can't get no worse.
- Gonna put up at the Juniper?
- Yup.
That's the best place in town, Mr...
I didn't get your name.
That's right.
Gabby sort of a feller.
Can I interest you
in a game of chance, stranger?
No, thanks, I...
Where does a fellow go
to get a room around here?
Over there, the man in the fancy vest.
- I'd like to have a room.
- The $1.50 or the up?
- The $1.50.
- You'll have Room 230.
You can get your key
off the peg in the lobby.
Mr. John Smith.
You've certainly got a lot
I come from a big family.
You know Jules Mourret?
He owns this place and a piece of most
everything else around here.
- How do people feel about him?
- Some like him and some don't.
- Where do you stand?
- He owns this place.
- I'm looking for him.
- Try his room. 201.
Pay for the first day, please.
He's the thirteenth John Smith
in this house now.
I hope he ain't superstitious.
- Mr. Mourret?
- No.
- I was told to see him here.
- You can wait. He'll be along.
- You ride a careless horse, mister.
- The way you ride, you'd better walk.
Don't ever do that to me again.
Hold it.
Such lack of hospitality. Let him go.
I must apologize for my men.
But we both know that civilization ends
with the Mason-Dixon Line.
- We were getting acquainted.
- You can't get away with that.
Neither will you.
I sent you for gold, Slager.
You brought me back rocks.
Come in, Lt. Travis.
Take a chair.
Too bad Josie isn't here.
Old friend of mine, you know.
On the boat. You threw the knife.
Could I stand by and let
an old comrade-at-arms be slaughtered?
You don't remember how
we routed them at Lawrence?
We fought under the same flag.
And under the greatest leader,
William Clarke Quantrill.
There are two schools of thought on that.
So, in a way, I owe my life to the Raiders.
No. You owe it to me.
