some respect for the law...

for once.

All I'm looking for

is a simple life, that's all.

If you don't mind,

I'd like to finish my dinner in peace.

Thank you.

My deputy, he's dead.

After he met you, there was

no more dinner for him.

His little girl

never had dinner with him.

The legal system is wrong.

Eighteen years in prison?

I'd say you got away cheap.

Sorry about Sergeant Taylor.

Really, I am.

I'm sure you are.

Welcome home, Willie.

Excuse me.

Oh, hi, honey.

I ran into Garnett tonight.

What's he look like?

He lost some weight.

Good morning.

Have a seat, please.

Hey.

Thank you.

What can I do for you?

- I'd like to open an account.

- Sure.

What type of account do you need?

Checking.

I will need your I.D., please.

Here you go.

Thank you.

I need your name

and your signature here.

Here's five temporary checks.

That should be everything you need.

I'm still trying to figure out

everything I need.

But... I'll take the checks.

If you need something else,

here's my card.

- Teresa.

- Mm.

Teresa Flores.

- Adios.

- Thank you.

Yes? Something else?

Huh?

Because I'm definitely

going to call you.

William Garnett.

Right here.

Go all the way from there.

- I was going to give you a call.

- Yeah?

Yeah. I got a job.

Good for you. Where?

The ranch.

I got my work contract.

Good.

Telephone number, too.

Great.

Anything else?

Yeah, I...

opened up a banking account.

Put in $1000.

That's the account number

right there.

That's it?

I got a date.

For next Sunday.

A date? What, with a girl?

You're joking, right?

You sure are a fast worker,

Mr. Garnett.

Where'd you meet her?

At the bank, where she works.

At the bank?

Why? That a problem?

No, not if you told her

about your past.

What, you think I'm going

to get her to pull a job

for me or something?

Did you tell her you'd been

to prison and why?

I was in a bank

to open up an account.

I met a woman there.

I liked her.

She could've been anybody.

She could've been

working anywhere.

She could've been working

on the cow ranch.

She could've been

shoveling cow sh*t.

All I'm trying to do

is what you asked me to do.

I'm just trying to live a normal life

like anybody else.

Is that all right with you?

Can you let me do that?

Just hold it right there,

not another step.

All right.

All right, I didn't mean to scare you.

I'm sorry about that.

Who's scared? Huh?

Now, you sit down.

I said sit down.

Mr. Garnett, there is a line

that must not be crossed.

Do you understand me?

Do you?

Yeah.

Good.

Tell her the truth.

What brought you to Deming?

You just opened a bank account.

Okay. See, I spent a lot of time here.

It's just... I just...
